[ sam sighs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : 10 perfect fingers , and 10 perfect toes . [ knock on door ] elizabeth : come in . hi . amelia : well , it 's official . you have the prettiest baby in port charles . or should i say handsome ? elizabeth : thank you . amelia : i wish you 'd reconsider and let me put you and little jacob martin on sam 's show . elizabeth : why are you so interested in my son ? [ scene_break ] jax : i have to see you . it 's literally life and death . you 're my brother , jerry . this is not the time to stop trusting me , so call me as soon as you get this message . carly : i took the boys to school . jax : we need to talk about jerry . carly : with any luck at all , hopefully , he will disappear . [ scene_break ] officer : we 'd better hurry . the commissioner 's meeting starts soon . jerry : and they say there 's never a cop when you need one . coop : what are you doing back here , and what do you want ? jerry : your full cooperation , three . you help me , because if i go under , i take you with me . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : yes , i am aware of the danger . that 's why i 've agreed to make it worth your while . i need you to take out sonny and jason swiftly . no one will suspect . they trust you . no one will know . look , i 'll pay you half the money upfront , the other half when sonny and jason are pronounced dead . [ scene_break ] jason : so tell me about your dream . sam : oh , god , it was nothing . really , it was nothing . i -- i actually ca n't really remember . i 'm sorry , i ca n't . i -- i ca n't tell you anymore , jason . i 'm just -- oh , i 'm really embarrassed about getting so drunk last night . oh . jason : here , drink this . sam : oh . what it is it ? jason : well , when i first started working for sonny , his wife , lily , died , and he spent most of his days drinking . he taught me to make these to help with his hangover , and he swore they were the only thing that would help him . sam : oh . okay , what 's in it ? jason : i ca n't tell you . sam : oh . another one of your secrets ? jason : no , if i tell you , you will probably get sick , which is going to defeat the purpose . sam : okay , well , guess what . my head is pounding , my stomach is doing these , lop things . so i think i 'm going to pass . and besides , i 've got to go to work . i 'm just a little bit late . jason : okay , whoa , whoa , whoa . okay , okay , okay , okay . take it easy , take it easy . sam : okay , i 'm in a little bit more trouble than i thought . jason : all right . maybe you should just relax . sam : oh . jason : drink some of this . at least it will hydrate you . sam : all right . it 's not as bad as it looks . jason : okay . keep drinking it . [ sam giggles ] jason : it 's -- it 'll help you , i swear it will . come on . sam : ow . okay . this is nice . just you and me , alone , finally . it 's been a while . [ scene_break ] lucky : my wife just moved from intensive care . we limited our visitors to family only . amelia : i was just telling elizabeth how affecting it would be to show america how well the story of the pregnant nurse held hostage turned out . i mean , look at them . the image of happily ever after . lucky : you know what ? my wife is n't interested . would you respect our wishes ? amelia : well , no producer worth her salt ever takes no for an answer . sam was thoroughly reticent when i first approached her about hosting `` everyday heroes . `` i refused to give up , and now look -- she 's a star . elizabeth : i do n't really think that 's the point . lucky : what part of `` no `` do n't you understand ? my wife does n't want to be a star . we do n't want our son on tv . amelia : of course . yeah , i did n't mean to be insensitive . i just -- i wish you all well . i really do . elizabeth : nothing ambiguous about that . lucky : you think i upset the baby ? elizabeth : no , i think jacob 's fine . i just wonder what 's going on with you . [ scene_break ] jax : you want jerry to simply disappear ? that 's your solution ? carly : i thought about this last night lying in bed while you were down here walking the floor , and i thought about how much pain you 're in , and i decided that i love you , okay ? i do n't need revenge . i just want the life that we 're supposed to have , jax . jax : i do n't see jerry as a threat . carly : then you do n't know him , okay ? you have no clue . jax : okay , i do n't mean to diminish what you went through when jerry took you hostage , okay ? carly : do you think that the fear goes away just because it 's over ? jax : no , i know that it does n't go away . when i came in the room the other day when you did n't know that i was home , you almost -- carly : jumped out of my skin , yeah . and you looked at me and you said , `` who do you think would be coming in our room ? `` and you know what ? i 'm sorry , i -- i ca n't explain it , but that stuff is going to be with me for a long time . jax : i know , i know , and -- and -- and that really upsets me . it does . but can you try to understand that it is difficult for me to see my brother to be this horrible person that you say that he is ? carly : i know that you want there to be some humanity left in jerry and that you 're hoping he is reaching out to you for forgiveness , and you 're afraid he 's going to disappear . but , jax , if he does , you can not bring him back . [ scene_break ] jerry : i 'm most impressed , three . i did n't know how smart you were . i mean , here you are hiding in plain sight . you 've become a bona fide police officer . a mere two months ago , you were helping me take an entire hotel hostage . if i had known how clever you are , i would have assigned you a higher number . coop : i signed on to grab a briefcase . terrorizing hostages was your idea . jerry : well , that 's a minor detail , ally . either way , you 're guilty , officer barrett . coop : nobody saw my face , but they saw yours . you 're nuts for sticking around here . jerry : i like to think of it as daring and audacious . coop : does mr. jacks know what you did to his hotel ? jerry : mr. jacks was out of the country . coincidence ? i think not . coop : you never said he was your brother . jerry : i did n't feel the need for disclosure , officer . so , how do you like wearing the uniform ? coop : what do you want from me ? jerry : loyalty . you 're going to call this number and give me every shred of information about that little adventure at the metro court . coop : i have n't heard a thing . jerry : that 's what they all say . but if i get caught , i 'll be sure to name you as an accomplice , three . have a nice day . maxie : hey , coop . who 's your friend ? [ scene_break ] jax : jerry 's my brother . i do n't want him to just disappear from my life any more than you want to lose jason . carly : jason would n't take you hostage -- or a whole bunch of other people that he and i cared about , and shoot them and terrorize them and laugh -- jax : yes -- carly : like it was one big joke , jax ! jax : but if he -- if he did , would n't you want to find out why ? carly , this man you 're describing is not the man i know as my brother . i know that jerry has his problems , but this psycho that you 're talking about is beyond my understanding . now , i -- i ca n't just cut jerry loose until i -- i know what 's going on . carly : can you ? jax : can i what ? carly : can you just cut jerry loose ? jax : depends . i want to know why the brother i once idolized had plastic surgery , and now he looks like a complete stranger . i want to know why he took over my hotel and took a bunch of people hostage , people that he knew . i mean , it just does n't -- it does n't make sense , does it ? carly : he 's going to come up with all kinds of lies and excuses to justify what he did . jax : i know when jerry lies . carly : okay , you know what ? he knows more than anything that you want to give him the benefit of the doubt , jax . he 's going to tell you he was brainwashed , he was blackmailed , or that he was trying to protect someone he loves . and the truth is , all he wanted to do was hijack alcazar 's shipment . jax : yeah , but why ? i mean , what 's alcazar 's part in this ? have you ever thought about that ? you were married to him , carly . you ca n't possibly tell me that jerry is worse than lorenzo alcazar . [ scene_break ] coop : what are you doing here ? maxie : um -- i wanted to see how you were . coop : do you plan to check up on me every day ? maxie : why are you getting all defensive ? we used to spend our breaks together when we worked at the hotel . coop : your father was n't my boss . i do n't want the other cadets to know that , you know , i 'm dating the commissioner 's daughter . hey , sorry , man , i 'll have to call you later . jerry : [ southern accent ] oh , no problem , dude . maxie : who was that ? coop : just an undercover cop . all right -- hey , i got to go . my ride - along leaves in 10 minutes , okay ? goodbye . maxie : okay . see you later . [ scene_break ] logan : hmm . [ max sighs ] max : why are you always here ? logan : i 'm addicted to caffeine . max : ah . keep lying to me . nothing impresses a boss more . logan : okay . but you 're not going to like it . onion bagels . they 're the best in town . max : sonny and jason do n't need you . more importantly , they do n't trust you , and neither do i . logan : where were you when i saved sonny 's life ? max : sonny showed you his gratitude when he got you a job at the metro court . logan : uh - huh . i have bigger plans . [ scene_break ] robin : here you go . patrick : ah . robin : i have missed this , among other things . patrick : another reason to hate james craig . how many mornings did he deprive us of ? robin : we got off pretty easy , all things considered . patrick : yeah , this is true . but i do intend on savoring every moment . robin : what time do you have to be at the hospital ? patrick : i already called them . told them we were going to be late . robin : that was presumptuous . patrick : any objections ? robin : not one . patrick : good . [ scene_break ] jason : well , then find milo and have him deliver the papers directly to sonny , okay ? thank you . sam : your magic cure worked miracles . thank you . i 'm late for work . jason : well , maybe you should take it easy today . sam : um -- i do n't -- i do n't think that 's necessary . i think i just celebrated a little bit too hard last night . jason : i do n't think you were celebrating . you -- you looked pretty miserable . sam : i guess i 'm one of those depressing drunks . oh , no , did i say something that i -- i need to apologize for right now ? jason : well , at one point , you asked if i 'd rather be with a tv star or the mother of my child . sam : wow . wow . i wonder what i meant by that . jason : i do n't know . why do n't you tell me what you meant , sam ? sam : jason , i -- i hate that we ca n't have children . okay -- no , i -- i hate that i ca n't be the mother of your child , especially since you finally came to the decision that you wanted to be a father . look , it just -- it breaks my heart , okay ? and it 's nobody 's fault , really . i -- i mean , except for the guy that shot me . so the only thing we can do is focus on the gifts that we 've been given . sam : i love you . jason : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why are you so upset with amelia ? lucky : it 's not amelia . i just -- i do n't feel like i 've done anything to protect you or our baby . elizabeth : well , it 's not as if you have n't tried . lucky : trying does n't count . it just kills me that i have n't been there when you and jake needed me the most . [ elizabeth sighs ] elizabeth : okay , i wish you did n't take that to heart , but i 'm glad you said something , because i 've been feeling guilty myself . lucky : about what ? elizabeth : you stood beside me my entire pregnancy . i took that for granted . i practically shoved you out the door and joked about you hovering , and then an hour later , i 'm laying on the floor ding . i should have listened to you . lucky : all that matters is that jason showed up in time , and that you and our baby are safe . it 's just selfish to be the one who wanted to save you . elizabeth : lucky , you save me almost every single day . the way you love me , the way you believe in me -- it 's my lifeline . you have to know you are always my hero , and you 're going to be jake 's hero , too . my boys are very fortunate to have you . emily : hi . elizabeth : hi . emily : bad timing ? lucky : no , no , no . come in . elizabeth : come in . emily : oh . oh , my gosh . elizabeth , i have been avoiding the nursery all morning . i did n't want to find out the baby 's name until you told us yourselves . lucky : well , nikolas and emily , meet jacob martin spencer . nikolas : a good , strong name . suits him . emily : what was your inspiration ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey . where is everyone ? amelia : i canceled today 's shoot . honestly , i 'm surprised you made it in , considering how blitzed you were last night . sam : oh , my gosh . i am so sorry , amelia . if you would have called , i would have told you i was coming in . amelia : oh , you were really not in any shape . sam : no , but you know what ? when people are counting on me , i show up . i know it must have cost you a fortune to have the day canceled . amelia : all things considered , i think it 's best . oh , do n't worry . i 'll cover for you . sam : you know what ? i do n't want you doing that . you 've already done enough , between this and todd sullivan , and -- amelia : hey , look , that man was blackmailing you . it 's a small price to pay to keep my star where i want her . the only thing i ask is that you keep your drinking drags to nights when you do n't have an early call . sam : oh , tell me about it . amelia : how much do you remember ? sam : um -- i think i told you pretty much everything about what i found out about jason , yeah ? amelia : you told me your boyfriend was the father of elizabeth spencer 's baby , yes . how that all came about last summer when everyone 's lives were turned upside down . you also said how jason and elizabeth were going to let her husband believe that he 's the father . how am i doing so far ? sam : pretty good , but i should n't have unloaded all that on you . i am so sorry . amelia : oh , that 's what friends are for . sam : okay , friend , then i have another favor to ask you . can you please not tell anyone about anything that happened ? can you just kind of keep jason being a father a secret , please ? amelia : before i promise anything , answer a question . why are you protecting jason 's lie ? [ scene_break ] max : do n't get in the way around here . instead of working for sonny , you 'll end up dead . logan : why do you care who works for sonny , huh ? i mean , you 're busy baby- sitting rich guests at the metro court . and you and sonny obviously are not on the same wave length anymore . so taking advice from you would be kind of stupid . max : huh . well , you think you got it all figured out , do n't you ? logan : hmm . max : the shortcut to money , power , and respect . so here 's the deal . if those particulars do n't show up today about 4 : 00 p.m. , i 'd be at your station at the metro court . consider that a warning from your real boss , not your fantasy one . logan : okay . maxie : have you ever known coop to lie ? logan : huh . only when he 's -- when he 's covering for me . maxie : logan , other than that . logan : coop is not ambitious enough to lie , all right ? you and i both know that when we tried to blackmail baldwin . coop 's a follower . and you know what ? there 's nothing wrong with that . where would the generals be if there were no foot soldiers ? maxie : i think you 're underestimating him , but maybe we both are . [ scene_break ] jerry : i had a chance to pick up the paper this morning -- to see if there was any progress in capturing the man who held the metro court hostage . the police are in such a dead end , it barely makes a page 10 mention . i also noted a particular lack of news on corinthos and morgan . lorenzo : and what were you looking for ? jerry : an account of their untimely demise . you have been very , very negligent , mr. alcazar . lorenzo : do not assume . it 's been arranged . [ noise ] lorenzo : it was nothing . jerry : no , it was something . except you do n't know what . your proving yourself disconcerting is sloppy , alcazar . lorenzo : if you would prefer quick and careless , i can send one of my men to take a random shot at sonny and jason . but there 's no guarantee how it will turn out . now , they 've been a little difficult to kill . but it will happen tonight . [ scene_break ] carly : if you want me to compare lorenzo alcazar to the man your brother 's become -- jerry is far more dangerous and unpredictable , jax . jax : `` who my brother 's become `` -- that 's my point exactly . so you agree that jerry 's not himself . it 's not his normal behavior . he 's reacting to something , carly , and i want to know what it is . carly : you 're grasping for excuses that do n't exist , jax ! jax : why is it so hard for you to understand that he could have been manipulated ? carly : because you were n't there ! you did n't see how cold he was when he put a bullet in robin . you did n't see the happy glint in his eye when he beat the crap out of nikolas , or what pleasure he got out of making emily choose between her best friend and her dying father , and you did n't see him put a gun to my head ! so i 'm sorry if my opinion of mr. craig does n't change when i find out he 's your brother . [ knock on door ] jax : i 'll get it . carly : if that is jerry , do not let him in this house . jason : sorry i did n't call . i need to talk to carly . jax : this is n't a good time , jason . jason : carly , it 's important . jax : well , carly and do n't have secrets , so why do n't you just go ahead and tell me what it is ? [ scene_break ] lorenzo : after i take over sonny 's territory , i will liquidate 15 million in assets . and i will place them in your account as a peace offering . jerry : well , you see , i 'm far more interested in having morgan and corinthos dead before they try to kill me . so make it happen . or i 'll have the satisfaction of getting rid of you . skye : are you alone ? i thought i heard voices . lorenzo : no , it 's a business associate . skye : oh . lorenzo : he just left . you need something ? skye : um -- i 'd like to go pick up a few things for lila . could you make sure she gets them ? you know , she 's getting so big , i 'm sure , these days , and -- lorenzo : i understand . it 'll make you feel close till you can see her again . i get it . skye : exactly . lorenzo : shop to your heart 's content . do you need anything ? anything you want . you want the car ? skye : oh , no . you know , i was just thinking maybe i 'd like to go for a drive myself . it 'd really take my mind off everything . lorenzo : i promise this will all be over soon . skye : i really need to believe that . lorenzo : i wo n't disappoint you , skye . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 've always liked the name jake -- jacob . and martin was my maternal grandfather . he died when i was a little girl , but he 's very special to me . emily : hmm . lucky : yeah , as soon as elizabeth suggested the name , i knew it was a perfect fit for our son . emily : hmm . lucky : i mean , he looks like a jake , does n't he ? nikolas : well , i was going to say winston churchill myself , but -- elizabeth : hey , you be careful . i 'm going to ask you guys to be his godparents . nikolas : really ? emily : are you serious ? lucky : yeah , who else would we ask ? nikolas : well -- well , i 'd -- i 'd -- i 'd be honored . we 'd be honored . elizabeth : so , then you will ? nikolas : of course . emily : i 'd -- i 'd love to , but -- but wo n't lulu be hurt ? lucky : well , after what happened last summer , it 'd be a loaded subject for lulu . emily : okay . well , then absolutely . yeah . nikolas : yeah . elizabeth : thank you . that gives me much peace of mind . nikolas : mm - hmm . lucky : well , i need to get little jake here back to the nursery . you want to go with me , godfather ? nikolas : sure . i 'll be back . emily : okay . lucky : here we go , little man . elizabeth : got him ? lucky : well , he 's a perfect fit . emily : oh . i am so relieved that you and jacob made it okay . elizabeth : yeah . it finally feels like all is right with the world . it is , is n't it ? i mean , are you -- is everything okay with you and nikolas ? emily : yeah , nikolas -- um -- had a health scare , but he 's all right . he felt like he had to push me away . elizabeth : okay , so whatever happened with that whole robin thing ? emily : well , he and robin obviously chose a really goofy way to deal with their problems , but trust me , it 's not going to happen again . elizabeth : i 'm just glad it 's over and that you guys are back together . emily : mm - hmm . elizabeth : and that my best friend is going to be my baby 's godmother . emily : oh , i 'm proud and honored . he 's such a beautiful baby boy hey -- um -- is it a coincidence that his initials are the same as jason 's ? [ scene_break ] sam : so after jason took me home last night , i heard him with a friend of ours , spinelli . jason trusts him completely . he would never lie to him . amelia : and this spinelli knows about the baby ? sam : well , from what i heard , jason did n't even find out until the baby -- until the hostage crisis . and then he and i went to the hospital so he could get treated . before he could say anything to me , i told him that i could n't have children . amelia : and i assume that jason did n't think the moment was quite right to share that he was having a baby with elizabeth . sam : i had just told him that i could n't have children on the same day that his father died . he was trying to process all this information , and then elizabeth tells jason to give up his claim to their child . amelia : well , there 's always the concept of shared custody . wow , i 'd be pretty hurt if the man i loved would n't fight for his baby knowing that we could have raised that child together . [ scene_break ] jason : carly and i have a trust that has nothing to do with you or anybody else . jax : yeah , yeah , i know about your great unbreakable bond , okay ? just do n't try to tell me it -- [ phone rings ] jax : has nothing to do with me . where are you ? jerry : i 'm behind police headquarters . meet me in 20 minutes . jax : i 'll see you then . carly : who is that ? jax : it 's a business call that i was expecting , so you get carly to yourself , after all . carly : wait , wait . will you be careful ? jax : yeah . carly : i love you . jax : it 'll be okay . jason : you need to tell me what kind of trouble jax is in , carly . [ scene_break ] ( crashing ) robin : i hate being late ! patrick : relax . it 's a shorter commute from my apartment than it is from the barge at wyndemere . robin : it was a launch , thank you very much , and i used to leave plenty of time for this exact sort of thing . i just do n't like feeling rushed . [ robin sighs ] patrick : there 's a simple solution for this , you know . robin : stop spending the night ? patrick : stop ? you just started , not a moment too soon . robin : come on , come on , we do n't have time to flirt . patrick : what if you lived here ? you would n't have to look for your shoes . you 'd know they would be in the closet . you would n't have to fuss over my products . all your makeup would be here , not in your little tiny purse -- robin : ah ! patrick : not that you need makeup . robin : found it . listen , i love you , and i am savoring every fabulous moment of this reunion . but as you know , i am also a workaholic , and i do n't want to give the officious dr. ford yet another reason to reprimand me , so -- i must be off to the hospital . we can have this ridiculous , circular , impossible discussion with no resolution later , i promise . patrick : okay . i got a better plan . robin : what ? patrick : after work , we come back here and work on our little reunion . we can talk about living arrangements at another time . robin : deal . patrick : close the door . [ scene_break ] lucky : i 'm telling you , the more i hold my son , the happier i am . nikolas : huh . you mean you 've finally gotten over the disappointment of not having a little girl ? lucky : i admit , i was afraid of how i 'd be with a son because of me and my dad . i mean , not that i do n't love my dad . do n't get me wrong . i mean , i -- i mean , he was the biggest , the best , the most fun . just -- well , later on , he just really never quite recovered . nikolas : well , i went through the same thing with spencer . i just -- i finally realized that you have a choice . you can -- you can either repeat history , or just find another way , you know ? lucky : yeah . i just want my children to love me the way i love my dad . if i can learn from his mistakes , too , then i 'll be the father my children deserve . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : jason and i shared something once , but whatever i feel for him , it 's -- it 's over . em , i love lucky so much , it hurts . can we please let this go ? emily : yeah , yeah , yeah -- no , of course . die you uncomfortable . i just know that you always talk about how much you owe jason , and i thought that maybe it was more than a coincidence that -- elizabeth : and i already told you that i -- i like the name jake and i loved my grandpa martin . and if j.m . happens to be the same initials as jason 's , then -- then that 's fine , but it was n't my inspiration . emily : so i will not bring up your history with jason again , and i will spoil my godson beyond your wildest dreams . deal ? elizabeth : deal . nikolas : okay , it 's official . my brother is ecstatic to have fathered a son to follow in his footsteps . [ lucky and emily laugh ] sam : from what i could gather , elizabeth plans to raise this baby with lucky , and jason just does n't fit into the picture . amelia : that 's why they invented a little thing called family court . sam : family court ? no , jason would n't put his child through the court system he knows the damage it does firsthand . amelia : so elizabeth gets to say `` sorry , you 're not welcome in your own kid 's life `` ? sam : are you kidding me ? this baby was conceived on a one - night stand , and i 'm guessing that elizabeth is so freaked out that if lucky finds out , it would blow her marriage out of the water . i can see so clearly now how this panned out . elizabeth convinced jason it was best for the baby . he agreed . amelia : wow , it 's great to be jason . he gets to walk away from a kid he never wanted . no responsibility , no demands . best of all , he has you to forgive him for everything . sam : come on . i could tell jason was struggling with this decision . especially now , since the baby 's here . amelia : well , why not tell him that you know ? sam : oh -- i do n't know . i guess some things are left better alone . at least this will give me time to think . amelia , i want to thank you . thank you for taking your time and listening to me and being there for me and keeping my confidence . but i -- i do have a question . now that the shoot is canceled , do you need me ? because there 's someone i need to see . [ scene_break ] carly : it 's jax 's secret . please -- please do n't make me tell . jason : well , you 're upset , carly . it 's got to be something bad . carly : i ca n't betray him . but you know , i ca n't lie to you , jason , so please do n't force me . jason : you promised that if you and the boys were in danger -- carly : we 're not ! we 're not . jason : well , for real , or is this just wishful thinking -- carly : why are you doubting me ? jason : because jax looked nervous . he just took off . carly : he 's really worried -- about jerry . jason : his brother ? carly : yes . he 's -- he 's in trouble again , you know ? in the worst kind , ever . jason : okay , obviously you 're not going to tell me everything . but you call me when you need me . i 'm not going to let anything happen to you , or the kids . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'm happy for them . emily : yeah . i told elizabeth all about your health scare , so now maybe things can get back to normal . nikolas : not until we break craig 's hold on you . emily : nikolas , i 'm not being poisoned , like you were . i can survive as craig 's leverage , as long as we get to live our life . nikolas : all right , let 's go . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i ca n't wait to take jake home . cameron is going to love his baby brother . lucky : you know , i just want us all under one roof . [ scene_break ] sam : wow . is this the spencer baby ? [ sam gasps ] sam : hi . he looks just like his father . nurse : are you a friend of the family ? sam : the baby 's father and i are close . [ scene_break ] amelia : these instructions need to be followed to the letter . wes : we already shut down today because sam was hung - over . she could tank the whole series . amelia : the whole point of the series is that sam is a survivor . she will never quit . but she will suffer , which is just fine by me . mark it on your calendar , wes . on friday , sam pays for what she did to my father . [ scene_break ] officer : you stay here . i 'll go question the victim . maxie : well , i knew there was a reason i kept this volunteer job . it 's fate bringing us together so we could finish our little talk . coop : well , more like fate bringing us together so i could take you to dinner tonight . and a movie . did n't you say that you wanted to see that new drew barrymore -- maxie : well , you must really not want to talk about it if you 're offering to take me to a chick flick . except it 's not going to work because i wrote the book on flirting to avoid the subject , and we 're not going anywhere until you tell me what 's going on . what are you hiding from me ? [ scene_break ] jerry : hello . why so tense , little brother ? jax : are you insane ? why are we meeting behind the police station ? jerry : well , it 's been a long time since i have n't been here . i have a different face , and i just wanted to know how this one played . besides , i doubt the cops are going to be looking for jerry jacks after all these years , do n't you think ? jax : well , you 'd be wrong , big brother . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : you 'll get the first payment upfront , and you 'll get the rest when the job is done .

carly : ok , wow , that was loud , huh ? it sounded like a firecracker . you know , i know firecrackers seem like fun , but they 're dangerous , so you never play with firecrackers , all right ? someone could get hurt . [ scene_break ] sonny : that shot did n't exactly inspire confidence . i 'm starting to wonder why i even brought you along . dante : well , because i 'm a professional and you need me . sonny : a cop who ca n't shoot straight -- what good is that ? dante : i never meant to make that shot , ok ? it was a warning shot . sonny : we 're not on the range , detective . this is real life . we got a crazy woman with a knife to my throat . if you do n't hit her perfectly , i die . suzanne : shut up , both of you ! dante : so , really , you do only think jason 's the one who can hit the shot . sonny : why does it always have to be about jason ? dante : but he 's got no finesse . he 's all about chest mass . i 'm about precision , a shot to the brain . sonny : make one ! make one now ! suzanne : do your brothers a favor -- sonny : shoot , dante ! give it to me . great diversion . dante : thanks . i totally could have made that shot .

[ scene_break ] jason : whatever differences you and carly have can be worked out . and josslyn , she was very sick . she 's been in the hospital for weeks . she needs to go home to familiar surroundings with her mother . jax : i know . that would be very nice , but the reason josslyn is n't safe with carly is because of people like you . for god sakes , jason , you gave up your son for that very reason . [ scene_break ] sam : [ laughs ] hi . alexis : hello . how are you , honey ? sam : good . thank you . alexis : all right , so the new pjs are from me , and the popcorn . the ... fashion rag is from guess who , and charlotte bronte is from ... sam : molly . yes , molly . thanks to her , i 'm gon na be pretty well - read . alexis : that 's a good thing . sam : i was thinking about getting one of those e - book thingies , because i 'm on surveillance all the time and it would be a lot easier than lugging around books . then on the other hand , if i had something to read all the time i 'd probably get so distracted , i would miss my target . alexis : decisions , decisions . sam : yeah , you can say that again . alexis : how you feeling ? sam : a little tired , but i feel good . i 'm not in pain or anything . alexis : good . so did they tell you if the surgery was a success or not ? sam : kelly is guardedly optimistic . whatever that means . alexis : ok . are you optimistic ? sam : i 'm kind of all over the place . i do n't know . i mean , when i think about having a baby with jason , it 's what i want more than anything in the world . and then ... i 'm not so sure . alexis : i get it . i mean , it 's a very natural reaction . having a baby is a life - changing ... you and i have missed a lot of time . sam : yeah . alexis : some of it would have involved sharing confidences , among other things . i know i did n't give you a road map , or better yet , a frame of reference for good mothering , but i 'm here for you now if you want . i mean , i can listen , i can tell you what i know , whatever that is . sam : that 's a lot . and i would really like that . thank you . it 's just really strange , because when i think about having a family with jason , it 's -- it 's what i want , you know , and then i move from this dream world to reality , and ... i feel like i have to be honest with myself . i 'm just not sure that i would be a very good mother . [ scene_break ] jason : you know what ? do n't use jake 's death to justify taking josslyn away . jax : look , regardless of how jake died , you made the choice to keep him out of your life because you know how dangerous it is for children to be around you . jason : carly 's not in the business . jax : she may as well be . you and sonny are a constant presence in her life , and her kids have already suffered because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time , and i 'm not gon na let that happen to josslyn . jason : if i learned anything by losing jake , you ca n't live your life by hypotheticals . and you know what ? the fact is , no matter how you feel about the people around carly , she 's still josslyn 's mother . you chose to have a baby with her . you ca n't take josslyn away because you do n't like carly 's friends . jax : it must be nice to have a short memory . i remember how upset you were when michael got shot . how you blamed yourself , that his injury was a direct result of your criminality . jason : no one has plans to expose josslyn to any kind of danger . jason : what were your plans for michael when he was josslyn 's age ? hmm ? i bet they did n't include any of the things that he 's been through . i mean , to this day , you 've tried to stop him from making the bad choices that you made . good luck with that . because michael following in sonny 's footsteps is yet another tragedy in the making . jason : do n't make michael your excuse . jax : my point is that your pleas on carly 's behalf do n't carry a lot of weight with me , because of the choices you 've already made for jake and for michael . something tells me that somewhere there inside you know that i 'm right . jason : maybe . but your solution is not gon na work . and you know carly would n't go for that . and neither can i .

[ scene_break ] dante : well , i need to make this official . suzanne stanwick , or whatever your real name is -- suzanne : no . no , please -- dante : you are under arrest . suzanne : please , do n't let alec see me in handcuffs . please , it 'll upset him . sonny : oh . now you 're worried about upsetting alec , after you practically stole him from his mother 's womb , bounced him around , hid him from stranger to stranger ? the boy deserves to be with his real mother . i do n't want her on my plane , and i do n't want her anywhere near alec . dante : well , suzanne 's going away for a very long time . you take the kid , i 'll handle her . sonny : yeah . suzanne : when you 're through basking in the glow of your father 's approval , will you give some thought to my grandson ? i 've spent my life trying to keep him from the mob , and now you 're gon na throw him in a snake pit . there was a while when people thought alec was your son . if that was true , would you really send him off blithely to live with your gangster father ? [ scene_break ] brenda : why are you so confident about this ? can you tell me something else ? do you know that this woman suzanne knows everybody on the planet ? she has contacts everywhere . she 's filthy rich . she could have left the country by now . and maybe they 're off on some false lead . have you ever thought of that ? spinelli : i have a strong feeling that the rescue team is on the right path . brenda : well , if that is in fact true they 're on the right path , then that is even more reason why i should be there . carly does n't even know suzanne . they do n't know each other . spinelli : with respect , i do n't think anyone , including yourself , can say with certainty that they know suzanne . brenda : yeah , but i would know her the best out of anyone because i 've been working with her for years . spinelli : years in which she was able to deceive you successfully . brenda : all right , well , that may be true , but my point is , that is my son . carly does n't know suzanne , and she certainly does not know my son . so for that reason alone , i should be the one who is there . spinelli : well , i doubt the valkyrie is involved in any of the mechanics of the rescue . i 'm sure she 's just there for a buffer to soothe and comfort the child . brenda : what are you talking about , soothe and comfort ? you mean my child ? she 's gon na go soothe and comfort my child ? ! he 's mine ! you think that 's a good idea , spinelli ? really , does that make sense to you , that plan ? spinelli : i think the point i was meaning to convey was that perhaps mr. sir left you out of the rescue mission because he feared you might be too emotionally involved to make objective choices . brenda : well , of course i 'm emotionally involved . this is my child -- i mean , do you think there 's something wrong with that ? i mean , this is my son . see , no one else is going to think about what my son might be going through , how he might be feeling or what he may be feeling confused about . and i 'm his mother . i 'm supposed to be the one who makes all the decisions regarding him , every single decision regarding him , and sonny obviously does n't give a damn about that . spinelli : i do n't think mr. sir , being a man of action , gave any consideration to anything besides just the physical retrieval of lucian . brenda : ok , spinelli , listen , wake up . while mr. sir is being a man of action , he is making decisions -- by the way , without consulting me -- that make a direct and profound impact on my life . do you realize that ? do you want to know what that feels like ? it feels insulting and it feels ... condescending . spinelli : mr. sir 's methods may be antiquated , and perhaps a better term is gender - biased , but however irksome his actions might be , i do feel they come out of ... a strong love and concern . brenda : oh , my goodness . ok , can you -- will you please explain to me why you think that my husband is slapping me in the face with his ex - wife at truly the worst moment in my life ? i mean , to be honest , the only reason i can think of is that sonny is upset 'cause he does n't like that i asked jax for help . i guess people do n't really change ever , do they ? jax thinks that my son and i will never be safe here . what do you think ? spinelli : um ... i do n't think my opinion is relevant . brenda : i do . you just ... be honest with me . do you think that my son will be safe growing up here ? spinelli : um , safety is a ... relative term , right ? i -- what i do know is that mr. sir is a good father . he 's loved by his children and will do his level best to give your son a happy and healthy life .

[ scene_break ] sam : before i met jason , i was pretty much on my own . i mean , i -- i had danny and i had to support him . he was my priority . but i never stayed in one place too long . i did n't even have any possessions , so i could pick up and move whenever i wanted . alexis : but people change . sam : i know . and when i let myself think about having a family with jason , it seems ... right . but complicated . i mean , i know how much of a gift giving him a child would be , especially now . alexis : you ca n't give jason a replacement for jake . sam : yeah , i know . i know that . i know that . but i can give him another child . alexis : what do you want ? sam : mm . i do n't know . i mean , who am i to think that i could be responsible for another human being ? alexis : i think you 'd be a great mom . sam : you were so young when you had me . it must have been overwhelming . alexis : it was the most devastating thing that ever happened to me , having to give you up . it was so devastating that i swore i was n't ever gon na have a kid again . sam : [ laughs ] famous last words . alexis : i was so terrified when i had kristina , mostly because sonny was her father . but i did n't know if i would be equipped . i did n't know how ... that would fit into my life . sam : you do n't seem to have any regrets . alexis : not one . i ca n't imagine my life without you girls . you 're my life . but that 's my truth . and you need to figure out what 's true for you . and it 's not about what jason wants , and it 's not about what you think you 're supposed to want . you need to really , really think about what you want , sam . [ scene_break ] lulu : you know , i was at elizabeth 's when dante went over to tell her that my dad was the one who hit jake . and the first thought that went through my head was that he had to be wrong , and the second thought was how hard it was gon na be for lucky and my dad and how i had to find a way to make everything ok . michael : yeah , my mom was on the suspect list . i actually thought she did it . and my mind went to the exact same place -- how do i help ? lulu : well , if your mom had done it , she would have handled it better than my dad . and she was driving to the hospital , so no one would have questioned why it happened . michael : your dad was drinking , right ? lulu : yeah , he 's -- well ... he has a problem , so we had to have the intervention . your parents were there . they did n't tell you ? michael : i guess they thought it was a private thing . i do n't know . lulu : well , my dad 's drinking 's out of control . and , uh ... he hates himself . that 's what i see when i look at him . michael : i 'm sorry . lulu : you know , when you said that -- that you can love and support someone , but you have to let them fix their own garbage . michael : yeah . that 's how it was for me , yeah . lulu : ok , so where are the limits of the love and support ? i mean , when do you decide to just cut someone off that you love and watch them drown ? would you be able to do that if it was your mom or your dad ? michael : honestly , probably not .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : though i have no doubt that you would make a bodacious and delightfully unconventional mother , i respect that bringing a child into this world is a monumental decision . so i apologize if my enthusiasm at the thought of a wee stone cold / fair samantha combo platter made me overzealous . sam : you 're a good friend , spinelli . i do appreciate your support . spinelli : you 'll always have it , regardless of your decision .

[ chuckles ] nikolas : i thought you were avoiding the subject . are you sure about this ? laura : i thought you liked scotty . nikolas : well , when did i ever say that ? scott : ow ! [ sighs ] what was that for ? lucy : because you held out on me . scott : if you 'd have hung around long enough the other night , you 'd have heard me tell laura it was time to make it legal before some other hot dame snatches me up . lucy : mm , some other hot dame ? [ laughs ] scott : that could happen . nikolas : scott was very supportive while i was in the hospital . i was unconscious most of the time , but alexis said he sat with me for hours . laura : i know you so well , nikolas . you always start an argument with a compliment . nikolas : [ chuckles ] do i ? laura : you object to me marrying scotty ? nikolas : i - i -- it 's not my place to object to anything . laura : but you have reservations . nikolas : well , have you forgotten what scott did to lulu ? laura : [ sighs ] scotty and lulu have made peace with each other . he was wrong , but he admitted it . and she chose to put that in the past . nikolas : right , but that was before she lost her memory . i - i mean , i thought you were putting the wedding on hold until she got better . lucy : well , then , that is double good news , right ? because lulu must have gotten her memory back if you and laura are going ahead with the wedding . scott : well , the wedding 's a go , but , uh , lulu , uh -- she 's still clueless . lucy : well , then , i thought laura wanted to wait . scott : well , she realized that she ca n't live without me , so all that 's left are the `` i dos . `` lucy : so , laura finally came to her senses . i am very , very happy for you , scotty . scott : there 's one problem . lucy : what is that one problem ? laura : look -- there 's no telling when lulu will recover . and it would n't be fair to scotty and me to put our life on hold indefinitely . especially now that i 've said goodbye to -- scott : luke . dante : what are you doing here ? luke : captaining the ship . what are you doing here ? dante : well , we got a call the haunted star drifted in out of the fog , which is kind of strange , 'cause i thought she was , uh , anchored to cassadine island . luke : well , she was , but the wsb tugged her over to new york . i took over , brought her up the seaboard and down the st. lawrence . dante : wow . that 's commitment . luke : well , i 'm fond of her . dante : i thought you said she was cursed . luke : she was . but i figure since helena 's finally dead , my impulse to send her to the bottom of the atlantic would be a terrible waste of a good old tub . dante : that 's just as well . lulu put a lot of her efforts into this boat and the business . she 'll be happy to see it waiting for her . luke : how is lulu ? any improvement ? dante : nope . she 'll still shacked up with milo giambetti . luke : [ sighs ] milo : i was doing crunches when i heard you scream . lulu : sorry if i broke your concentration . milo : it 's okay . it 's all right . you -- you said something , though , sounded like , `` let me go . `` what happened ? lulu : i 'm not sure . i think it was stavros . oh , god . [ sighs ] milo : it 's gon na be okay . nikolas : you said goodbye to luke ? what does that mean , exactly ? laura : it means that we both acknowledged that it 's over . you know , we 've both moved on and changed and , yes , we have a history together and a family together , but those feelings are just not there anymore . nikolas : i 'm sorry . laura : why ? nikolas : well , you loved him very much . laura : yes . but he will always be a part of my life . but , you see , nobody stays frozen in time . we -- we keep living and growing and -- and we change , and then what we want changes . nikolas : so , no doubts , huh ? laura : i 'll admit that i had some before we went to look for your sister , but i do n't now . nikolas : okay . yeah , i mean , i guess it does seem like things are somewhat resolved , does n't it ? i mean , helena 's gone . my father 's gone -- although he was less of a consideration . there 's no more vendettas . no more waiting for helena 's next atrocity . you and luke are officially free of the cassadines . laura : we are free of our past , honey . there is one cassadine that i could not live without . it 's very important to me to have your blessing . nikolas : mother , all i want is your happiness . if scott can accomplish that , then you absolutely have my blessing . laura : so , you 'll come to the ceremony ? nikolas : of course i 'll come to the ceremony . laura : oh , good ! speaking of which , i really do have to run , because it 's gon na be this afternoon in the courthouse at 5 : 00 , all right ? nikolas : in the courthouse ? laura : yeah . the mayor , um , agreed to marry us . well , actually , she did before , but scotty thinks that he can convince her to officiate this afternoon . nikolas : oh , all right . okay . um -- well , listen , if you want the mayor to conduct your ceremony , that 's , of course , your decision , but -- why not have the wedding here ? laura : [ laughs ] scott : laura has assured me that it 's over with spencer . done . finished . kaput . lucy : okay -- then why are you getting so worked up ? scott : i 'm not getting worked up . lucy : that is the face of a man who is worked up . that is not a face of a happy person who 's about to get married to the woman that he loves who he 's carried a torch for since high school . from my experience , that is a face -- who is possibly feeling threatened and possibly thinking of doing something underhanded , which , i can assure that face , that is the absolute worst possible idea . laura has chosen you . you can trust her . scott : it 's spencer i do n't trust . that old fool is liable to show up and try to grab the bouquet just to stick it to me . lucy : oh , really ? like you never , ever did anything like that to him , huh ? scott : et tu , lucy ? lucy : okay . i want you to breathe . breathe . remember your yoga . scott : oh , that silly yoga that you and sabrina were teaching me at the firehouse . how is that down puppy going to work things out with laura ? huh ? how ? lucy : okay , okay . stop . stop . [ inhales deeply ] come on . inhale . deep breath . come on . scott : [ inhales deeply ] lucy : and if inhaling does n't help you find your inner peace , then i want you to remember -- [ singsong voice ] laura chose you . scott : yeah , but -- lucy : [ normal voice ] no , no , no . no , come on . focus . no `` buts . `` i am not gon na let you self - sabotage . i 'm not gon na let you snatch defeat out of the hands of victory . breathe . breathe . scott : aah . [ muttering ] lucy : wait . no , no , no . stop . stop . stop . stop . look at me . you won . this is your moment . you 've got to seize it . you 've got to embrace it . your love is finally requited . [ laughs ] kevin : and my love is the arms of her ex . scott : uh - oh . lucy : doc . kevin : ca n't leave you alone for a minute , can i ? luke : well , that is very disappointing . i mean , i thought spending time with you was gon na trigger some memories . dante : well , you know , i have to give her credit . she tried . she -- she came with me to one of maxie 's appointments . luke : really ? and nothing ? seeing maxie , listening to the heartbeat -- still nothing ? dante : you know , there was a moment . i looked in her eyes . i saw a glimmer of recognition , and then i thought i was gon na try and build on it , and soon , we got interrupted , and it was gone . luke : so , there was just that one time at the hospital . dante : no . there was another time at the floating rib and maybe one or two other times other than that , but the same happens . i think she 's gon na recognize me and remember stuff , and then we get interrupted . luke : well , it sounds to me like you 're gon na have to be proactive , son . dante : what do you mean ? talk about the past ? show her pictures ? i 've been there , done that . luke : it 's not rocket science . if she 's that close to advancement , you need to get her alone and -- advance her . lulu : i 'm sorry . i - i 'm such a mess . i 'm sorry . milo : hey , you should see me after a week without pilates . [ chuckles ] lulu : did you just tease me ? milo : you 're shocked right ? lulu : [ chuckling ] yeah . milo : i usually get a little bashful around you . lulu : why ? milo : because you 're -- you . lulu : well , that 's just it . i 'm not . milo : that 's probably why you 're having these nightmares . hey , i remember one time , i had this awful dream -- i went to kelly 's and i ate two double cheeseburgers and a whole plate of fries . lulu : this is a bad dream ? milo : oh , it 's the worst . [ both chuckle ] i had to do a three - day juice fast just to cleanse my brain . but i - i 'm sure your nightmare was much more serious . lulu : and we 're assuming this was a dream . it might have been a memory . dante : wow , luke . get her alone . have some alone time . what a great idea . why did n't i think of that ? luke : yeah , just a suggestion . dante : no , it 's a great one . get her alone and i - i 'm positive she would remember something about our life together , but the problem is she wo n't set foot in the loft . not only that , we -- we do n't get more than five minutes of time alone together . luke : i 'm troubled by this defeatist attitude of yours , son . dante : i 'm not defeated . i 'm not defeated . i promise you , i am not . i will do whatever it takes for the rest of my life to try and get her back , but the problem is she is so stubborn . luke : [ chuckling ] yeah . that part of her personality , at least , is intact . dante : yeah , i keep pushing , i 'm gon na push her away . i need to find moments . i - i need to pick specific times where i can find an opening . luke : all right . look . the last time i checked , you ca n't bring a seagoing vessel into this harbor without the owner signing for a slip . you 're a cop . bring her down here , tie her up -- in red tape , and get to reminiscing . dante : you know , that 's not -- not a bad idea . luke : you 're welcome . milo : so , you think it was a memory ? lulu : had to be more than a dream , right ? how could i just conjure something like that up with nothing to base it on ? milo : well , let 's just break it down and see if we can figure it out . you were yelling at someone to let you go . any idea who that was ? lulu : [ sighs ] no . i -- just some man . he was dragging me up on the deck . he was carrying me , and i -- i wanted him to -- to let me go . god , that had to be a memory , right ? what did that bastard stavros do to me ? milo : it 'll come back . you just -- you have to be patient . lulu : well , you know , i - i know next to nothing about myself , but i 'm pretty sure that patient is not my best event . milo : you have to remember -- the brain is just -- it 's part of your body . and the body always takes its time . lulu : well , how much time ? 'cause i feel like i 'm stuck in limbo right now . i sound so selfish , after everything you 've done . i 'm sorry . you -- you 've let me crash here , and you -- you 're so generous and sensitive and -- milo , you are a really good friend . milo : it 's , uh -- nice having you here . it 's also nice -- being your friend . you 're so -- nice . laura : you want me to have the wedding here at wyndemere ? nikolas : of course . it 's a new day , remember ? laura : [ chuckles ] nikolas : i mean , this house does n't have to be a perpetual symbol of all the pain the cassadines have caused , does it ? i mean , it can just be a house , right ? a big , uh , drafty , maybe a little gothic kind of house , but -- laura : [ laughs ] nikolas : yes . i 'll put the staff to work . i think with enough flowers , we can cheer this place up . laura : that is so sweet of you , but , really , i do n't want you to go to all that trouble . nikolas : mother . i offered , and it 's my pleasure . consider it your wedding gift . laura : you 're a wonderful son . nikolas : [ chuckles ] laura : [ laughs ] thank you . nikolas : you 're welcome . laura : that is a such lovely offer , and , yes , i accept . nikolas : good . laura : oh , now i really do have to run , because i got to let scotty know that there 's a change of location . laura : mm , i really wish that lucky could be with us , but he 's still in africa . i finally got in touch with him , and he 's well . but he 's really busy . this charity work that he 's doing is so important to him , and i - i did n't want to interrupt that and summon him home . nikolas : i - i think i can speak for lucky on this . as long as you 're happy , that 's all that matters . laura : i 'm so glad that i 'm gon na have you with me . we 'll get the rest of the family together later . nikolas : okay . you got it . lesley : would you settle for some of the family right now ? well ? how about a hug for your mother ? lucy : [ laughs ] [ smooches ] you 're home . kevin : yes . and not a moment too soon , judging by that clinch with scott . lucy : oh , hey . do n't be silly . i 'm just congratulating him because scott and laura are getting married today . kevin : hey ! well , let 's hope this one takes . maybe somebody should send luke spencer out of town on a wild - goose chase . lucy : [ clears throat ] excuse me . i do n't think you meant to sound as snarky as you just sounded . kevin : no , i -- lucy : no . no ! you did not , because you 're a sensitive , brilliant , gorgeous psychiatrist who knows that this whole dynamic of luke and laura and scott is -- it 's very complicated and very , very emotional . kevin : not to mention none of our business . lucy : [ sighs ] i am -- i 'm just trying to reassure my dear , dear friend of laura 's love for him and that he does not need to do anything underhanded to try and get luke out of town . scott : you know what ? i - i 'm gon na take , uh -- kevin has a very good point there , so , uh , get mayor lomax , and i 'll see you later . lucy : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . where are go -- what are you gon na do ? scott : i 'm gon na do what kevin said to do . i am gon na make sure that this wedding to laura happens . nikolas : [ grunts ] laura : mom , you look wonderful . lesley : oh , baby , so do you . laura : [ chuckles ] spencer : did we surprise you ? laura : yeah . nikolas : you sure did . i did n't expect you till next week . lesley : oh , somebody wanted to see his daddy . nikolas : thank you for bringing him . i appreciate it . laura : aww , come here , you . nikolas : oh , go see grandma . laura : grandma missed you . nikolas : so , what do you think of wyndemere so far ? spencer : it 's bigger than our house . nikolas : well , wyndemere 's our house , too . you just have n't been here in a while . come on . let me go show you around . laura : oh . nikolas : you spend time with your mother .

[ chuckles ] lesley : you have faith . you will be able to help your daughter . laura : thank you , mom . lesley : i love you so much . laura : i love you , too . spencer : we 're having a wedding ! nikolas : [ chuckles ] lesley : what ? nikolas : hey , spencer . we have to go meet the housekeeper so we can tell her to buy up all the flowers in port charles , 'cause this place is gon na need a little decoration , do n't you think ? spencer : okay . nikolas : yeah , okay . okay . laura : [ chuckles ] lesley : nikolas is getting married ? ! laura : no , mom . not nikolas . me . lesley : oh ! laura : i - i 'm marrying scotty . luke : if laura wants to be the bride of satan , that 's her hell to pay . she has my blessing . scott : good . glad you finally have accepted reality , because laura 's gon na be very happy , and she 's gon na be very safe . luke : well , whether she is or whether she is n't , it 's her life -- her decision . scott : we 're gon na have a great life , unlike you who 's gon na end up as a doddering old coot , miserable and alone . lulu : this is mine . dante : you are the owner / proprietor . it says so on the deed . lulu : okay . um , where are the damages you were talking about ? dante : uh , here . lulu : that little scratch ? dante : well , if you follow the trajectory , you 'll see there 's a bullet imbedded right here . lulu : a bullet . dante : yeah , there was some shooting . lulu : okay . i 'll bite . why was there some shooting on my boat ? dante : well , you were kidnapped , and your parents and i -- we gave chase , but i 'm talking -- this was in the middle of the ocean at this point . so , your parents get on board . they 're searching for you . helena 's guys get to them pretty quickly . i swim over from the wsb vessel . lulu : wait , wait . this is in the middle of the ocean that you 're swimming ? dante : yeah . they had to stay out of range , so i get on board and start recon . helena 's guys start shooting , and i get the drop on them , have the old lady at gunpoint for a minute or two -- long enough for your parents to find your brother ethan . and then they outnumbered me and threw me overboard . [ chuckles ] lulu : so , you 're saying that you almost died -- for me ? dante : i would do anything for you . anyway , that is how you got bullets on your boat . lulu : it sounds like quite the adventure . [ sighs ] dante : strangely enough , it 's not the most memorable moment i 've had on this deck . lulu : that 's a setup for something , right ? dante : no . not at all . what are you talking about ? lulu : well , no , what ? please , you are totally trying to bait me . you want me to ask . dan : . no , no . i do n't . i do n't . let 's go finish the tour . let 's go to your office -- lulu : okay , no . fine . okay , i want to know . what is the most memorable thing that happened to you on this deck ? dante : we , uh -- we had our first kiss . lesley : you are marrying scotty baldwin ? laura : that 's the plan . lesley : you already married him once , and it did n't end well . laura : yeah , but i think it 's safe to say that we have both grown up an awful lot since then , right ? lesley : you have . yes . scotty , i 'm not so sure about . are you absolutely 100 % certain that he is n't using this marriage to make a point that you were wrong to have left him all those years ago ? laura : mom , you know that scotty and i have been spending an awful lot of time together , right ? lesley : ugh , yes . it 's part of why i was happy to stay with nikolas -- i did n't have to watch scotty romancing you . laura : he was n't romancing me , per se . lesley : [ scoffs ] he showed up in paris 10 minutes after you did . he got an apartment three blocks away . he was always around . he was inviting himself over for dinner . he was taking you on little romantic outings . laura : yeah , because we enjoy each other . lesley : have you forgotten what that man did to you -- what he did to your family ? laura : scotty made mistakes . and so did i . lesley : [ sighs ] if you really loved him -- if you really were 100 % certain that this marriage is the right thing , you would have invited me to the wedding . laura : did it ever occur to you that i might not have told you about the wedding because i was trying to avoid the scolding that i 'm getting right now ? lesley : oh -- [ scoffs ] laura : hmm ? lesley : mm . does luke know about this ? laura : luke is my ex - husband , mother . he does n't get to weigh in . lesley : well , i certainly hope your mother still gets to weigh in , because i refuse to let you make the same mistake . laura : mom , please , i 'm -- lesley : no , i mean it laura . i mean it . you marry scotty baldwin , it will be over my dead body . scott : but we would miss you so much . lesley : [ gasps ] lucy : you are never , ever allowed to leave me again . kevin : my patients ? lucy : oh , just let them go . they 'll have to do without you . you ca n't keep going to seattle and other far - flung places . kevin : i missed you , too . lucy : no , i 'm serious . who was so important that you had to abandon me ? kevin : mm . lucy : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . oh ! it was bobbie , was n't it ? ! kevin : i ca n't discuss my patients . you know that . lucy : it was . no , it was . it was bobbie spencer . she finally snapped . kevin : no . but we had coffee . and she wanted me to tell you that noah drake is romancing the hell out of her . lucy : oh , gee . that 's delightful . i really care . i do n't . i just want us to focus here on us , doc . you really -- you got to cut your ties with those far- flung patients . i think it 's time you refer them to somebody else , even though another psychiatrist will never , ever be as brilliant as you . nobody will be . [ sighs ] kevin : well , you know , referrals can work in many cases . but not all . lucy : [ sighs ] why not ? what is so special about this particular patient ? lulu : our first kiss happened on this boat ? dante : yeah . it did . actually , pretty much right where we 're standing now . scott : come on , lesley . ca n't you give your once and future son - in - law a proper hello ? lesley : would you settle for goodbye ? i allowed you to marry laura once . never again . scott : but we used to be so close . when did this all go south ? lesley : gee , i 'm not quite sure . um -- maybe it was when you killed me husband ! lulu : so , how did this kiss happen ? i mean , what led up to it ? were we on some romantic date and then you brought me out on the boat ? dante : [ chuckling ] no . we were n't even on a date . you -- you barely even knew me . lulu : but i kissed you anyway , so you 're saying that i was easy . dante : oh , believe me , that kiss was anything but easy . lulu : then what happened ? dante : your brother was cheating me at cards , and you put a stop to it , and i wanted to thank you . lulu : [ sighs ] dante : wait ! lulu ! lulu , wait , wait . lulu : please just stop following me . dante : i just , uh , wanted to thank you . lulu : for what ? dante : for , uh , proving me right . i had this gut feeling that you liked me . lulu : uh , yeah , since when ? dante : well , since your brother , uh -- interesting accent , by the way -- conned me , and you , uh , called him on his scam . why would you do that if you found me so repugnant ? lulu : because ethan had it coming to him . dante : ah , you 're still mad at him for beating me up with lucky ? lulu : [ chuckling ] oh , no . no . believe it or not , this actually has nothing to do with you . dante : oh , yeah . well , either way , yeah , i would have been out next week 's milk money if you had n't stepped in , and i owe you . and all flirting aside , i want to show you my gratitude . that 's how my mother raised me . lulu : mm . dante : do you like ice cream ? lulu : forget it . you are not taking me out for ice cream for stopping my brother . dante : well , i guess i could just , uh , kiss you instead . lulu : [ laughs ] oh , yeah . no , sure . sure . yeah . when hell freezes over . lulu : wow . was i a bitch or what ? dante : you were a challenge . lulu : oh , yeah . let me guess . just one you could n't resist . dante : oh , you were definitely irresistible . but you 'd been hurt . you had your guard up , and you did n't know me from adam , which , coincidentally , you -- you still do n't . lulu : i guess what they say is true -- those that do n't know their history are doomed to repeat it . here i am being a bitch to you again . dante : it 's okay . i mean , it 's cool . i got you to kiss me before . i 'll get you to do it again . lulu : yeah , how ? how did you get from `` when hell freezes over `` to a kiss ? lucy : naturally , i do respect the privacy of your patients , just like i respect this mystery patient -- whatever dire things they 've gotten themselves into -- but i just think they should find a more geographically appropriate psychiatrist . kevin : geographically appropriate ? lucy : yes . like maybe in the same state -- of physicalness . like the same state like the state of washington -- kevin : i get it . lucy : -- not the same state of mind . you know , like , because probably this mystery patient is a couple tacos short of a combo platter . kevin : you ca n't stand that i 'm withholding information , can you ? lucy : and that 's just a fancy way to say that you 're keeping secrets from me . kevin : well , you do n't tell me what goes into coecoe 's anti - aging eye cream . lucy : i do n't have to . it 's clearly printed on the label . the fda requires me , which i try to do -- follow those rules . kevin : and when the day comes the government tells me i have to share all the information about my patients , i will . but they have n't , and they wo n't . but i can tell you that your concern , though much appreciated , is misplaced . lucy : well , then , could you sort of reassure me , like , pronto ? kevin : you 're gorgeous and delightful and the love of my life . lucy : okay . that 's good . but you 're changing the subject . i - i want to talk about this -- this whack - job -- this emotionally lovely , unstable patient of yours that is taking all of your time . kevin : what i can say is that when it comes to this particular patient , i have the situation well in hand . dante : well , i 'm not saying it was easy . you were very stubborn . you did n't want to give in , but -- but you were drawn to me . lulu : no , really . dante : no . like , you could n't keep your eyes off me . it was the kind of thing where you asked me to leave so many times that it became very obvious that you really wanted me to stay . lulu : there 's no chance that you were just -- i do n't know -- seeing what you wanted to ? dante : you liked me . a lot . and we both knew you wanted me to work for it . lulu : it ? dante : the -- kiss and pretty much everything that happened after that . lulu : okay . yeah . no , no , no . let 's just stick with the kiss for the moment . dante : all right . so , like i said , it was n't easy . you -- you were being very tough , you know , but i cracked that shell and -- and you melted . lulu : and i melted ? dante : yeah . lulu : oh ! [ laughs ] what , do those lines really work ? dante : you like those lines . you find them adorable , actually . lulu : oh , really ? are you sure that i was n't just attracted to your bashfulness and innate modesty ? dante : that , but more to do with my good looks and charm and -- and sincerity . lulu : right . so , did you just keep spouting cheesy pick - up lines until you finally wore me down ? dante : yeah , you could say i was persistent . lulu : oh . well , there 's a surprise . so , um -- what happened ? laura : mom , do we really have to do this now ? this -- this is our wedding day . lesley : not if i can help it . laura , you are about to marry the man who killed rick and then left you to take the rap . laura : what happened in the attic was a horrific misunderstanding . lesley : that 's what you 're calling it ? a misunderstanding ? ! scott : i will always regret rick 's death . i never meant for laura to take the blame . rick was hurting her . she was screaming and she was yelling , and i hit him . it happened so fast . i was just trying to protect laura , because i love her , and i 'm gon na marry her today with or without your blessing . i would like to have it , and i know it would mean the world to laura , so -- forget about me and just think about her . luke : to scott and laura baldwin and moving on . | lulu wakes up screaming from a nightmare about being dragged unconscious onto a boat . she tells milo that she does n't know if it was a dream or a memory . dante goes to investigate the haunted star 's presence in the port charles harbor . luke is onboard and tells dante that the wsb tugged it to new york , and then he piloted it the rest of the way . luke asks about lulu . dante reports that nothing has changed and lulu is still shacked up with milo . he says there is always an interruption when lulu is on the verge of remembering something . luke says dante obviously needs to get lulu alone and observes that she will have to sign for the boat . dante goes to milo 's apartment . his knock on the door interrupts milo moving into a kiss with lulu . when milo answers the door , dante wonders if he ever wears clothes . dante says he is there on police business and tells lulu that she has to go take care of the paperwork for her boat . she did n't know she had a boat . while she is changing , dante tells milo that lulu will remember who she is and suggests that he not take advantage of her trust . when they get to the boat , lulu is amazed that she owns such a big vessel . he tells her the story that led their first kiss the deck . |

[ doors open ] duke : and we could use this information to reach a common goal . sonny : we got some good news . shawn : what 's going on ? sonny : you ready ? jerome and his drug - running cohorts will be behind bars ... by the end of the night . shawn : mm . jordan : um , i 'm gon na need to call you back . ye . tj . tj : hey , mom . jordan : what are you doing here ? i thought you were on your way to school . tj : my first class got canceled , so i , uh , thought i 'd give you another chance to have me drive you around in my new car , but you 're obviously busy . jordan : yeah . yeah , you can say that again . you know , this gallery 's like the only game in town . tj : mom . is everything all right ? jordan : yeah , of course . why ? tj : it 's just , uh , i heard you saying about bringing some product in from colombia . jordan : oh , my god . um , i can only imagine how that must have sounded . tj : [ chuckling ] well , yeah , you know , being that the only haul from colombia i know is , uh ... jordan : `` coffee `` as in sonny corinthos ? tj : more like drugs , as in `` scarface . `` luke : i take it you 've found where sonny has stashed your duplicitous sister ? she 's been dealt with ? julian : i have no idea where ava is . luke : of course you do n't . well , as soon as the shipment 's in , we 'll refocus our energies and find her . she ca n't keep breathing after she turned on us . julian : actually , i do n't want any part of that ... or the shipment , for that matter . luke : what the hell are you talking about ? julian : i quit . nikolas : you 're moving out because of ric ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : why ? elizabeth : well , ric and i went to the nurses ' ball together , and ... nikolas : yes , i remember . elizabeth : ... while we were there , we ... nikolas : after all , he did make it a point to ask you right in front of me . elizabeth : while we were there , we started talking about our past and our history and how much we used to mean to each other , and ... nikolas : what ? so what are you saying ? elizabeth : ric and i have decided to give our relationship another try . say something . nikolas : [ sighs ] i think you 're making a huge mistake . ric : i think you have the wrong idea . alexis : no . i know someone is funding julian 's operation . ric : i 'm sure someone is , but i 'm telling you it 's not me . alexis : no , julian is answering to someone , and all of the -- for lack of a less prosecutorial word -- evidence points to you . ric : okay . i - i am gon na say this one more time , and i am begging you to believe me when i do . i am not julian jerome 's boss , okay ? he was my client . i represented him on some of his numerous legitimate businesses and because you referred me to him because he needed a defense attorney . in case it slipped your mind , i quit . you were there when i did it . alexis : can we please just cut the act ? ric : oh , for god 's sakes . alexis : i care about him . i do . i care about him , and he 's trapped something that he ca n't get out . if you cared about me at all , you will please let him out . let him walk . ric : alexis , i ca n't let him . alexis : yes , you can ! ric : no , i 'm not saying that i wo n't . i 'm saying that i ca n't because i 'm not running this whole show . if julian is answering to someone , it is n't me . luke : did you just say , `` i quit `` ? julian : i 'm done . i do n't want part of this life anymore . luke : [ scoffs ] what the hell ? i bring a couple of hundred kilos of coke into this town , and you suddenly grow a conscience ? julian : oh , hell . it 's not just about the drugs . luke : well , do n't tell me it 's about caring for your sister . julian : it 's about all of it . this life -- everything . i 'm out . luke : that makes no sense . we 've been working together for years . you 've never had a problem with anything that we 've done . what changed ? julian : what 's changed is that now i actually have something to lose . jordan : `` scarface `` ? [ chuckles ] do i look like al pacino to you ? i mean , he 's about as cuban as i am . tj : [ chuckles ] i know , right ? so what are you bringing in from colombia ? jordan : you know , i 'll tell you . i 'll let you , uh -- i 'll let you in on a little secret , okay ? but you ca n't tell . tj : what is it ? jordan : the product that i 'm bringing from south america ... is vases . tj : vases ? that 's it ? jordan : that 's it . just beautiful , ancient vases from the wayuu . they 're the indigenous people of colombia . tj : oh . [ chuckles ] god , i 'm sorry about that . jordan : do n't worry about it . tj : no , that was really stupid of me . it 's , like , you 're my mom -- not like you 're some big - time drug lord . [ chuckles ] sonny : this is not gon na shut down julian 's operation completely . um , but it 's gon na cripple him . and now all we got to do is just clean up what we left behind . shawn : because we leaked information to the cops . sonny : yeah , we -- we 've been over this . shawn : can i level with you ? sonny : yeah . what ? shawn : you made the wrong call . dante : i was there when dr. v advised us against carrying a child ourselves , but what are you telling me ? that she was wrong ? lulu : no . no , i 'm not saying that at all . it -- dr. v 's concerns are totally and absolutely valid . dante : okay , well , then what are we talking about ? lulu : when i found out that we had an embryo out there , i started to do some research . dante : you did research ? lulu : yeah , it just occurred to me that dr. v never said that it was impossible to carry a baby . she said that the chances were very unlikely . dante : that just sounds like good bedside manner for `` impossible . `` lulu : no , `` lulu , you do n't have any eggs left `` is clear , direct , and impossible , but saying things like , `` the chances are miniscule or marginally insignificant `` -- that 's not `` impossible . `` dante : it sounds pretty damn near impossible to me . lulu : which means it 's possible . dante : [ sighs ] okay , we 're talking in circles now . lulu : no , we were told that if we tried to have a baby , we would most likely fail ... dante : mm - hmm . lulu : ... over and over again , but there are some surgeries that might be able to tip those odds in our favor . dante : surgeries ? lulu : it 's not a slam dunk , and my eyes are totally open to that , but according to this , dante , there 's a chance . there is a chance that i could carry our child -- that i could give birth to rocco 's little brother or little sister . lulu : i feel so blessed that we have rocco in our life , and i -- if this is the only child that we ever have , i still feel incredibly lucky . dante : yeah , me , too . lulu : but i would be lying if i said that i did n't still wish that i could get pregnant -- that i could feel our child growing inside of me . dante : hey , of course you 're gon na feel that way . lulu : you know , just because i did n't carry rocco , it does n't mean that i love him any less . dante : yeah . yeah . lulu : okay . dante : i know that . lulu : i just -- i remember when we thought i was pregnant and how much i wanted to have that experience -- to feel our child growing inside of me , and if -- if there is even a chance that i could be a part of that miracle , i 'm willing to do whatever it takes . dante : hey . i want that , too -- for both of us . but have you thought about what we 'd be risking ? sonny : you think this is a bad call ? okay . you know what ? i was n't sure about it myself , but it 's my call . shawn : i thought we do n't run to the cops . when julian ratted out duke to anna , we all damn near lost our minds . why ? because julian has no code . sonny , what makes what you 're doing any different ? duke : i think if you 'll take a step back , you might see -- sonny : duke , duke . he 's -- he 's right . look , you think this is the way i want to handle things ? usually , i would n't even consider it , and the fact that i 'm actually doing it makes me sick . shawn : then do n't do it . sonny : it 's too late . shawn : oh , yeah .... because the commissioner already has the information . sonny : you ca n't blame duke 'cause he 's just following orders . who we should be talking about is julian , 'cause he was -- he 's been playing dirty from the start . shawn : so what ? we 're supposed to sink down to his level ? sonny : okay , if we stick to the way we dealt with the other families -- the honorable ones -- we 're finished . okay , it 's been a year now since that bastard 's come to town , and we 're just treading water . the only way we 're gon na survive is by making this move . julian : when you and i first started our association , no question , i was a broken man . i had nothing to my name . hell , i did n't even own my own name . so i agreed to launder your money so i could start my own company -- maybe get something back from the life that i had left . i knew it was a front , but i figured that some day ... luke : it would blossom into a pillar of legitimacy ? [ chuckles ] julian : [ sighs ] luke : that 's pretty damn naive for the son of a wise guy . julian : yeah . luke : [ sighs ] you got one thing right , though . you were nothing . it 's because of me that you were able to come out of anonymity and give that fake name meaning . you should be thanking me . julian : i did thank you -- all the time . each time i did , you had another job , another compromise , another crime . did n't take long to realize that it was just another roundabout way back into the mob . luke : so what are you saying ? every time you wanted out , i dragged you back ? julian : no . i could , uh , make those compromises then because i was just thinking about myself . but now i have alexis to consider -- lucas , sam , and danny . i have a family . luke : think about what the organization can provide that family . julian : mm . i have . i 've also thought about what it could cost them . so , this ends now . i 'm gon na stand on my own -- out of my father 's shadow , out of yours . i am going legit . alexis : i do n't know why i even bother . ric : alexis . alexis : no , really , you have a tenuous relationship with the truth . ric : oh , and who lied to who to get who over here ? alexis : if you bring up one more time that i lied to you to get you over here , i will freak out ! [ inhales deeply ] the fact is , you have a history of lying -- or worse . ric : look -- look , i am not gon na argue my past , but in the present , here and now , i am no longer doing business with career criminals . i did not come back to port charles in order to exact revenge on anybody . i came back to finally have a shot with the people that i care about -- mainly , my daughter and elizabeth . alexis : oh . i see . so , time and distance have tempered your compulsion to dismantle sonny 's life ? ric : look , i - i lost elizabeth once because i could n't let go of my hatred against sonny , okay ? and i 'm not gon na risk that again . and i 'm also not gon na risk the chance to finally get to know molly once and for all just to get payback on my brother , especially not now . alexis : okay , so , what new development has spurred you onto this path of becoming a better man ? ric : elizabeth . okay ? she has decided to give me another chance -- finally . and the funny thing is that i may have actually earned it this time . and , best of all , i think she 's finally let go of that nephew of yours . nikolas : do i need to remind you of all the awful things ric has done ? elizabeth : no , you do n't , and i would appreciate it ... nikolas : he and zander framed me for murder . he crushed up birth - control pills and spiked your food with it so you could n't get pregnant , which almost killed you . and you know why ? elizabeth : yeah , i know why . nikolas : because he was holding carly in a panic room so he could harvest her child for you . so forgive me if i 'm not so supportive of your little romantic reunion . elizabeth : i appreciate your concern . nikolas : it does n't matter if you appreciate it . what 's important is , do you understand it ? elizabeth : yeah , i do , and this is my choice . this is what i 've decided . nikolas : no , no , no , no . you warned me over and over that britt would hurt me . and guess what -- she did . she did hurt me , and i do n't want the same thing to happen to you . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] hold on a minute . first of all , i know ric way better than you ever knew britt . nikolas : it -- elizabeth : yeah , he has his flaws , but at least he 's up front about his shortcomings . nikolas : [ scoffs ] what ? so he -- he actually admits that he 's a sociopath ? how does that help anything ? elizabeth : i know who he is . you never knew who britt was . you only knew the lies that flew out of her mouth . that 's who you fell in love with , and that is what i was warning you about . nikolas : how do the mistakes that i 've made with britt have anything to do with the mistake you 're about to make with ric ? elizabeth : what ric and i had was real . nikolas : [ sighs ] elizabeth : at one point , we genuinely loved each other . and maybe i can love him again . nikolas : not as much as you love me . sonny : now , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na get our people to make sure they 're ready to make that move . shawn : you sure you do n't want me to do it ? sonny : no , 'cause i got to do it myself 'cause once we get , uh , julian out of the picture , there 's gon na be a power vacuum , and the last thing i want is another family filling it . i 'll keep in touch . shawn : okay . sonny : [ sighs ] [ doors close ] duke : i know how difficult this is for you . shawn : `` difficult `` ? `` difficult `` ? because of you , tj is about to lose his mother . tj : so , i guess this means you 're too busy to take a ride in my new car ? jordan : [ sighs ] you know , i wish i could . i really do . i just -- i have all this stuff to do before the vases arrive , and i got to call customs , and i just got to call buyers . it 's just -- it 's endless . but i really wish i could take a ride with you . rain check ? tj : yeah , sure . jordan : [ inhales deeply ] look , tj , um , i know this job has been kind of getting in the way of us reconnecting , you know . the hours are intense , you know ? but i 'm doing this for you -- for both of us . tj : of course . i know . and i 'm proud of you , mom . i mean , you barely started this job , and you 're already in charge . and i apologize for suggesting anything about , you know , what you were bringing in from colombia . i know that you would never have anything to do with drugs . it 's just not who you are . give me a hug . i 'm out of here . take care , mom . jordan : hey , wait . i got to tell you something . luke : and these legit businesses of yours -- you know they 're as much mine as yours -- that every one of them was started with my money . julian : and i will make sure that you 're more than duly compensated when i buy you out . luke : oh , how very generous . julian : oh , come on . you do n't need derek wells media to launder your money anymore . you 've outgrown my company . hell , you have elq now . luke : i do n't have elq ... thanks to tracy 's sycophant of a son . he 's turned the tables on me . i do n't have that company . i need your company , and i need you , julian , so forget it . you 're not going anywhere . elizabeth : do n't ever do that to me again . nikolas : do what ? elizabeth : i tell you that i 'm getting back together with my ex - husband , and now you kiss me ? nikolas : uh , wait . how is that any different than what you did to me ? elizabeth : what 'd i do ? nikolas : um , you were waiting for me in my bedroom and professed your love to me minutes after i got engaged . elizabeth : all right , maybe that 's the same thing . but still you -- you chose her . you picked britt . nikolas : clearly , that was a mistake , okay ? but you 're picking ric . elizabeth : well , at least i wo n't be the rebound girl . nikolas : what ? rebound girl ? oh , okay . is that what this is about ? you 're choosing ric because you 're afraid of what might happen between us ? elizabeth : that 's not true . nikolas : why not ? elizabeth : because there 's never gon na be an `` us . `` alexis : swear on molly 's life . ric : what ? alexis : swear on molly 's life that you have not now , nor have you ever been , associated with anyone trying to attack sonny , nor have you been , nor will you ever be julian 's mob boss . swear it . ric : i swear on molly 's life , on everything that i hold dear , i am not working for the jeromes . alexis : damn it ! ric : you still do n't believe me after all of that ? alexis : no , i do believe you . that 's the problem . [ sighs ] so if you 're not julian 's mob boss , who the hell is ? julian : perhaps i did n't make myself clear . i 'm walking away ... from this life and from you ... right now . luke : have you lost your mind ? you think that 's how it works ? you say , `` i 'm quitting , `` and you just walk away ? i pat you on the back , wish you luck , write you a reference ? julian : i know how this works . now , you might want to let go of me while i 'm letting you keep your hand . luke : have you forgotten what happens to deserters , julian ? turn your clock back a couple of months when morgan corinthos wanted to walk away . what did you tell him were gon na be the consequences ? you think those consequences do n't apply to you ? now get back to work . we have a shipment coming in . julian : what do you need me for ? the woman i hired -- jordan ashford -- she 's excellent -- more than capable of running the operation . luke : what about this are n't you getting , julian ? you do n't call the shots here ! i do . and in case i have n't made it perfectly clear about you quitting , let me just say this -- request denied . julian : that was n't a request . jordan : you know when you were asking about the drugs ? tj : mm - hmm . jordan : you would n't do them , right ? i mean , you would n't actually take drugs ? tj : i mean , it 's not like i have n't been at parties , and somebody 's offered me a hit or something , but drugs -- they 're just not my thing . jordan : good . wait -- you 're not just telling me that 'cause that 's what i want to hear , are you ? tj : do n't worry . and even if i was tempted , i keep thinking about all those lectures you gave me as a kid . they would scare anyone straight . [ both chuckle ] jordan : good . good . i 'm glad i did something right . tj : you 've actually done a lot right , mom . duke : well , with all due respect , shawn , i do n't work for you . you and i do n't answer to each other . we both work for sonny . shawn : it 's not just about work ! it 's about family . duke : exactly . julian jerome has done enough damage to my family . i 've waited a long time to bring him down . i 've waited half my life to bring that bastard to justice . shawn : yeah , and if a teenage boy loses his mother in the process , hey , so be it , right ? duke : well , do you know for sure that jordan is aligned with the jeromes ? shawn : look , i - i know it in my gut . i may not have proof , but i know jordan . i know she 's in deep , and i ca n't let her go down . duke : you 're not thinking of warning her ... are you ? dante : if they implant you with this thing , there 's still a huge chance that you wo n't even get pregnant . lulu : that could happen with anyone . the problem is n't with the implanting . the problem is with keeping it there , and this surgery could -- dante : okay , so the surgery . so , say this -- this works , okay ? at best , this is gon na be a difficult pregnancy . and then what if you miscarry ? that 's it . that 's our only chance to have children of our own -- ever . lulu : i know that . dante : okay , well , you see what i 'm saying , then ? i mean , is n't -- is n't a surrogate the safest bet ? lulu : it 's probably a safer bet , but after everything we 've been through with maxie passing her child off as ours , and then taking her back ... [ cell phone ringing ] lulu : ... and britt passing our child off as hers , i 'm not convinced that that 's true anymore . dante : i 'm sorry . i have to take this . it 's anna . lulu : okay . dante : yeah , commissioner ? what 's going on ? dante : okay , i 'll , uh -- i 'll be right there . lulu : is everything okay ? dante : yeah . anna got wind of a large narcotics shipment . lulu : drugs ? at least it does n't sound like your father . dante : no , this sounds like the jeromes ' handiwork . we got to head it off at the pass -- make sure this stuff does n't make it to the streets . listen , can we table the embryo talk until later ? lulu : yeah . no , it 's okay . dante : we have a lot to discuss before we do anything , right ? lulu : just be careful , okay ? dante : always am . i love you . lulu : i love you . elizabeth : there 's never gon na be an `` us . `` nikolas : there will always be an `` us . `` elizabeth : so what ? so what that we 're always gon na care about each other and that things happen between the two of us that ... probably should n't happen ? nikolas : well , why not ? elizabeth : because the timing is never gon na be right for us . when you wanted to be with me , i chose aj , and when i finally came around , you -- you picked britt . you chose her . and the one time that we chose each other , we ruined lucky . nikolas : we 're free now , though . elizabeth : no . no . no , we 're not . do n't you get it ? this is the same thing that happens over and over again , and i do n't want to be on this roller coaster with you anymore . nikolas : damn it . elizabeth : i 'm done . i 'm stopping this ride , and i 'm getting off . and i 'm doing that by choosing ric . ric : you know , i have no idea who julian is working for , but -- but here 's a crazy idea -- why do n't you just ask him directly ? i mean , you and julian are close , after all . alexis : i have . he wo n't tell me . ric : well , at the risk of stating the obvious , alexis , you know , if you do n't want to be involved with somebody who 's working for the mob , then maybe you should n't , you know , be involved with somebody who 's working for the mob . alexis : you know , you 've missed your calling . you should really be composing casa nostra - themed fortune cookies . ric : forget i said anything . alexis : [ sighs ] i 've tried to walk away . i really have . the truth is -- is i - i have n't felt this way about anyone in a really long time ... since ... i know that he wants out . i know that . and the only reason that he aligned himself with his boss is to prove something to his stupid father , and he 's trapped . ric : well , for your sake , i hope he can find his way out . alexis : thank you . ric : i wish you the best . and believe it or not , no matter what happened between us , alexis ... i still really care about you . it 's okay . alexis : [ sighs ] luke : are you threatening me , mr. jerome ? julian : maybe i am ... because i do know how this works . it sounds to me like maybe you 're the one who does n't . luke : and you 're gon na school me ? julian : i 'm not morgan corinthos -- some little punk that you pulled off the streets . i 'm your second in command . i am the face of this operation , so if i want to cash in my chips and walk away , i walk away . luke : and what 's to stop me from making an example out of you ? julian : [ chuckling ] well ... i do know where all your bodies are buried , so you ca n't threaten me without the risk of exposing your identity . luke : oh , you have got it all figured out , hmm ? julian : well , precautions are a necessary evil in our line of work . i do n't want a war . i just want to be done -- out . and believe it or not , i do wish you the best . and if you should take down sonny in the process , good on you . i 'm not gon na stop you . and i 'm not gon na get in your way . so , can we just leave it at that ? luke : well , since you put it like that ... julian : well , i guess there 's nothing left to say , except , `` good luck . `` luke : good luck to you . you 're gon na need it . shawn : i never said i was planning on warning jordan about the bust . duke : you did n't have to . shawn : this conversation is over . duke : if you tip jordan off , the shipment will be moved . the bust will go south . julian will stay on top . if he knows we 've been monitoring him , then he 'll change his strategy . it wo n't be so easy to bring him down again . shawn : you do n't think i know that ? duke : tj 's a good kid . i 'd hate to see him get hurt by this . shawn : then you should n't have gave sonny the means to destroy it . duke : i gave sonny the intel , but the strategy -- that is his call . if you tip jordan off , you 're going against the boss 's wishes . we both know what happens to anyone who crosses sonny . lulu : hi . i 'd like to make a consultation appointment with dr. chu . nikolas : even if ric were a great guy , which he most definitely is not , you should n't be with him just because you 're afraid of what might happen if you and i get together . elizabeth : deep down , you know i 'm right . nikolas : [ sighs ] elizabeth : we are never gon na be right for each other at the same time . stopping this is the best thing for the both of us . nikolas : i refuse to accept that . elizabeth : and yet it does n't make it not true . nikolas : [ sighs ] ric : hey . hey , you all right ? elizabeth : yeah , let 's just go . jordan : yeah , i 'm sorry i had to hang up before . no , no , it 's just a customer asking about art . nothing to worry about . yep , everything is still set for tonight . okay . i 'll call you when i 'm ready for the next step .

alexis : i know this weapon is lethal , because i watched helena kill my mother with it . julian : that is just so morbid , alexis . i - i do n't know why you keep it here . alexis : but are n't you glad that i did ? i mean , it was right -- right there , right within your reach . julian : that dagger was exactly where you left it -- in the bookcase . so , you can stop suspecting me now . alexis : can i ? [ scene_break ] carly : sonny , please call me the second you get this . i just want to know you 're okay . sonny : i am okay . carly : oh , you -- sonny : what ? carly : you could 've texted me . sonny : i know , i know . carly : or you could 've stayed with me last night instead of taking off in the middle of the night . sonny : i 'm sorry for worrying you . carly : where were you ? sonny : i figured that carlos was gon na ask julian for help , so i went looking for julian . carly : you know carlos was stabbed last night ? sonny : yeah , i was at the hospital when he died . carly : do the police think that you had anything to do with it ? sonny : not that i know of .

[ scene_break ] carly : i know you did n't kill carlos . sonny : you 're right , 'cause i did n't . carly : i still want to know where you were all night . sonny : uh , i went to alexis ' place to check on julian , and guess what i found , carly ? carly : julian was n't there ? sonny : no , but he told alexis that he was at crimson , but he was n't answering his phone , so i told alexis i 'm gon na go there , and she invited herself . carly : of course , she did . sonny : so , we 're there , and i get a call from michael telling me to go to general hospital . carly : why did n't one of you call me ? sonny : he was -- he was not hurt . he found carlos , pulled him out of the water , and called 911 . carly : are you serious ? sonny : yeah . carly : of course , michael saves carlos . not that carlos deserved it at all . sonny : i - i wanted carlos alive so he could flip on julian , but i got to tell you , it 's kind of nice that carlos is dead and ... my hands are clean . [ scene_break ] julian : i told you where i was last night . alexis : you did n't pick up your phone . neither did nina . julian : well , the situation was more serious than i thought , but i was exactly where i said i would be . alexis : yeah , nina was in a robe and you were ... buttoning up a clean shirt . julian : i know , i know , and i 'm sorry . it looked bad , but i told you , i spilled red wine on my shirt . i needed a clean one . alexis : yeah , what does any of that have to -- have to do with an editorial meeting . julian : honestly , it does n't . nina 's so - called crisis was of a personal nature . she was having issues with franco . alexis : what kind ? julian : franco showed up late at the office . he was naked , nina was working late . she , uh , was unsettled , to put it mildly . alexis : right . yeah , so she called you , and she did n't call the police . julian : oh , come on . she does n't want the guy to go to jail . she just wanted to get rid of him . alexis : stop it ! stop ! stop it . stop it . how stupid do you think i am ? ! [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] finn : mr. ellis ' death was completely unexpected . i carefully reviewed his file when i had him admitted . i ran a series of tests , and every one of them came back negative . i assure you he was stable when i left him . monica : i know that , because i reviewed all of your notes , and there was nothing there to suggest that anything was amiss . finn : owen was elderly , and he died of heart failure . sometimes that happens . sometimes it 's the most merciful way to go . monica : well , be that as it may , dr. obrecht -- surprise -- has asked a peer- review group to open an inquiry into your care of mr. ellis .

[ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't believe this . you got to tell me everything . i did n't get to talk to you last night . i wanted you to sleep . jason : come on , come on . sam : how 'd the accident happen ? jason : [ sighs ] well , i went for a ride . i just wanted to clear my head , you know ? and this van swerved into my lane , and i tried to avoid it . but i had to , uh , lay the bike down , and i ended up knocking myself out . and when i came to , it turned out that that van was a prisoner - transport van . the driver inside was dead , and dante was pinned underneath . the phone was smashed . i tried to call for help , but there was no way to do it . so , i was trying to figure out how to get dante from underneath that van when robin started talking to me . [ scene_break ] monica : well , dr. obrecht addressed the morbidity and mortality meeting this morning , because she feels mr. ellis ' death was preventable . finn : my patient is none of obrecht 's business . amy : i ca n't wait for this year 's nurses ' ball . did you hear about last year 's fiasco ? nurse : mnh - mnh . amy : so , there 's this guy , jake doe , who we all know now is really jason morgan . he had amnesia and was married to this total fake wife . how does that even happen ? but right before his almost - wedding to nurse webber last november , carly corinthos drops the big reveal . [ laughs ] i heard it was phenomenal . nurse : we 've got to start getting invited to those things . amy : you know jason morgan is dr. quartermaine 's son . i mean , not bio , but adopted . her husband cheated on her and our chief staff raised his mistress ' baby . monica : excuse me . amy : dr. quartermaine . i did n't see you . monica : yes . i heard you . do n't you have something to do ? amy : actually , dr. hill asked me to check on some test results . monica : then i suggest you do that . and if i hear any more gossiping , you are going to be working with the crew backstage for the nurse 's ball yet again , instead of onstage , where i know you so desperately want to be . excuse me for the interruption . finn : no apologies necessary . back to mr. ellis . monica : well , you see , it would n't even be an issue if the family had permitted an autopsy . finn : what did the committee decide ? it 's up to them , but i would welcome an investigation . [ scene_break ] jake : you do n't want me to see franco anymore either ? elizabeth : i agree with your dad on this . jake : but i thought you liked franco . franco : so did i . elizabeth : okay , w -- the decision has already been made , but your dad and i are going to enroll you in an art class , and you can do exactly the same thing there as you do with franco . jake : no ! i do n't want some art class ! i want to see franco . he 's my friend . it 's not fair . elizabeth : okay , we 're not talking about this anymore . you 're already late for your appointment with dr. renault . jake : mom , i -- elizabeth : stop . enough . you need to get to your appointment . come on . jake : fine . i can walk by myself . elizabeth : okay . franco : what happened to you ? i thought we were simpatico . elizabeth : and i thought you genuinely cared about jake . franco : i do care about jake . elizabeth : then why are you going out of your way to make this worse by undermining me and his dad ? why ca n't you just make this okay for him ? franco : because this is not okay for anyone . and since when are you a doormat ? jason says no more franco , and you 're like , `` okay , sure , fine , whatever . `` is that what happened ? is it ? or do you really think i 'm a danger to your son ? [ scene_break ] sam : robin was at the crash site ? jason : no . robin was in my head . like that night helena sent me here to kill you . i think she 's my way of trying to fight the conditioning . sam : i 'm confused . i thought that was over with after the surgery . jason : yeah , well , so did i , but i guess not . you see , the -- the conditioning , it blocked me from my memories . that 's why i was having the flashes . my memories were intact . i just could n't reach them . and last night , i did . sam : i - i do n't -- i do n't understand . jason : neither do i , i got to be honest . maybe something happened in that motorcycle accident that jarred it all loose , or maybe it was because i was n't trying to think about it . sam : okay . jason : i was trying to help dante . sam : okay , i - i think i understand . it 's like when , um , you -- you think you remember something and you forget it , so you go and focus on something else , and then , like , bam , it 's there . jason : yeah , it hurt a lot more , but in principle -- sam : it hurt ? how ? [ scene_break ] carly : not that i want there to ever be a next time , but if there is and you feel that you have to leave the house in the middle of the night , can you please tell me ? because the way you left last night , i was really worried about you . i - i kept waiting for the police to bust open the door and come looking for you . sonny : but they did n't . carly : that 's because you did n't do anything , but you were the one that kept saying that you had to deal with carlos . sonny : yeah , but somebody else took care of that for me . carly : can you please , please let this be the end of it ? please ? sonny : [ sighs ] i wish i could say yes , but i got to say this . it 's gon na get worse before it gets better . carly : what does that mean ? sonny : because there 's only one person who could 've wanted carlos dead , who would 've gained more from , you know , his death , and that is julian jerome . [ scene_break ] alexis : i knew when you asked me to defend carlos . i knew that something was wrong . julian : i asked you to defend carlos to protect what we have , to protect our family . alexis : oh , and then that witness showed up . julian : come on , alexis . after all that time , you had to know that the whole thing was a setup . alexis : how would i know that ? how would i know that ? i did n't get a chance to question him because he died ! julian : of an overdose . alexis : an overdose ? an overdose ? the man had been clean for over a year . and his sudden relapse , that 's very convenient for you , is n't it ? really fortuitous timing . you have denied everything -- everything ! and i wanted to believe you ! but that moment , that moment , that moment when i told you that carlos was wounded and not dead , that look on your face -- that look on your face was sheer panic . julian : i was n't panicked , alexis . i was praying that carlos would survive . why is that so hard to believe ? he -- he was more than an employee to me . he was once a very good friend . alexis : stop saying that he was your friend ! he was n't your friend ! he was a man who was gon na put you away for the rest of your life ! [ sobs ] julian : you know what , there 's no point -- there is no point in doubting my motives , because i was exactly where i said i was gon na be -- before carlos was stabbed . so jordan said , but you saw me at crimson . alexis : at 2 : 30 a.m. where were you before that ? julian : if i wanted carlos dead , why would i use a knife ? why would i -- why would i do it myself ? alexis : to reduce potential witnesses ? and why you would take that knife ... julian : [ sighs ] alexis : why you would take that knife that was used to take my mother away from me . [ crying ] why you would do that , i do n't know ! i do n't know ! it 's unthinkable ! julian : i think you need to go look at that knife because it 's clean , alexis . alexis : because you cleaned it ! you cleaned it ! you cleaned it !

[ scene_break ] finn : it 's been brought to my attention that obrecht resents me for , well , pretty much everything i 've done since i 've arrived at gh . monica : well , she did n't much like how i brought you in , and , well , she especially did n't like how you put her pet , dr. mayes , in his place . finn : mayes was an embarrassment . still , obrecht seems to hold me personally responsible for her being ousted as chief of staff , which is absurd , given the fact that i hold no influence over the board . monica : no , not really . unh - unh . you saved tracy 's life , and tracy is on that board . finn : either way , it would seem that obrecht is looking for a way to take me down . monica : well , that 's pretty obvious . anyway , the committee had a very , very long discussion , and they ended up deciding that they 're not going to investigate mr. ellis ' death . finn : thank you for letting me know . monica : you got it . see you later . finn : see you later . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you know , when you showed up at wyndemere to give me your side of the fight with jason , you left out a few pertinent details . franco : i did n't feel like i had to burden you with all of the specifics . elizabeth : you threatened to tell jake that his father was a killer ? franco : okay , yes , i said that . but no , i did n't mean it like that . look , i just -- i lost my temper . elizabeth : you crossed the line . you were acting like -- you were acting like your old self . franco : like my old self ? elizabeth : yes , yes . and i remember that version of you . you kidnapped aiden , you terrorized this entire town , and somehow , i convinced myself that -- that you had changed . clearly i was wrong . franco : elizabeth . my feelings were hurt ... and so i lashed out . this whole thing with nina , it 's just -- i -- look , i 'm gon na dig myself out of this hole . i am . and i 'll be back to my old self in no time , and by that , i mean my new old self . elizabeth : just how deep is this hole you 've been in ? franco : my life 's kind of a mess right now . even liesl obrecht has pushed me away . i mean , things are bad . like , i - went - to - see- my - mother bad . elizabeth : oh , god . franco : yeah , well , you know what , i needed a friend , and you were nowhere to be found . how could you do that to me ? really , how could you let jason turn you against me ? elizabeth , you 're pretty much the closest thing i 've got right now to a friend . [ scene_break ] sam : when you came down this morning , you said something about a headache . jason : yeah . yeah , i had a pretty severe headache . i even blacked out at one point . sam : you did ? jason : yeah . sam : okay , so that means you blacked out twice -- once from the accident and once from the pain . jason : yeah , i did , but it was worth it , because as soon as i got dante free , memories just started coming back to me . like , i can remember sonny 's apartment used to have maroon curtains , and the floating rib , it was originally called jake 's . sam : mm - hmm . jason : and the first time you and i kissed was after nikolas and emily 's wedding . and when i was locked up in pentonville , you pretended to be brenda barrett and got in so you could give me a conjugal visit , right ? sam : yes . i was hoping for this . i just did n't -- jason : i think i tried to convince myself that maybe i was better off not remembering , but i was wrong . [ scene_break ] sonny : julian has no honor . he 's a bottom - feeder . all he cares about is himself . carly : i - i understand that , and you 're right , but how can you be sure that julian killed carlos ? sonny : because he has the most to gain . carlos may have beaten the , you know , murder charges as far as duke 's case 'cause of lack of evidence , but he caused an accident last night that killed a cop and assaulted two others , and that 's the only deal he could 've gotten if he flipped on julian . carly : okay , but you said that alexis told you that julian was at crimson . sonny : okay , we were outside the office when i got the call from michael . all right ? by the time i got to the hospital , i got a text from alexis saying that julian was there . carly : you do n't believe her . sonny : well , you know what ? she may be telling the truth . julian may have been there , but then again , what if he stabbed carlos , went to crimson to establish an alibi ? carly : and now with carlos dead , julian ca n't be forced to pay for duke 's murder . sonny : do n't be too sure . carly : come on , sonny . what does that mean ? what the hell are you planning ? [ scene_break ] alexis : you wiped it clean with this . julian : you need to understand , okay ? alexis ... alexis : that stain on your shirt , it was n't wine . it was blood . it was carlos ' blood . [ sighs ] you killed him . you killed them both to save yourself . why ? julian : you -- you need to trust that everything i 've done , i did because i love you . alexis : oh ! do n't say that . oh , my god . julian : i did this so our life together would never end , alexis . you need to believe that . alexis : you killed two men to preserve our marriage ? who are you ? julian : i 'm your husband . i 'm still your husband . who are you calling ? alexis : who do you think i 'm calling -- the police . julian : okay , hey , hey , hey , hey , hey . easy , easy . before you ask yourself who i am , alexis , you need to ask yourself who you are . you knew i ordered that hit on duke , and you -- you chose to stay with me anyway . alexis : [ crying ] julian : it makes you complicit in everything i 've done . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 're going through a rough patch with nina . franco : it 's just a patch . it 's not like it 's a great big field . elizabeth : but jason is jake 's father , and he gets input on jake 's medical care and emotional well - being . franco : i still ca n't believe you caved in so quickly to that neanderthal . elizabeth : name - calling is n't helping your argument . everything you 're doing is proving jason 's point . you are not emotionally stable enough to be caring for my son . franco : look , all right , i - i lashed out at the worst possible target . i get it . but i 'm gon na straighten myself out . i just need you to believe in me right now , okay ? elizabeth : oh , i am not responsible for the way you act . franco : you said yesterday that i was doing good in this world , and i promise you i am . i am not a danger to jake , and you need to stand up to jason and turn this around , okay ? amy : i hate to interrupt your little party here , but dr. renault is asking about jake . elizabeth : why ? he went to see her . amy : no . dr. renault said jake never showed up for his appointment . [ scene_break ] jason : i woke up this morning , everything fit . who i am , where i came from , why i love you . sam : okay , so much for getting to know each other all over again . jason : yeah , well , what you said is still true . we 've been apart for more than two years . our lives have pushed us in different directions . but now i know what we are to each other , how important this is . and i know you had to fight hard to get through to me , and i 'm ... i 'm sorry , sam . sam : do n't be sorry . i just -- i did n't want to pressure you , and it was okay with me if you never remembered anything . jason : it would n't be okay with me . i 've got all these pictures in my head of you smiling and laughing , crying . i remember that time we broke down , and i could n't get the car to start , but you could . sam : i have always been a better mechanic than you . jason : i know that . and i also remember when i put danny in your arms for the first time . we did n't even know he was mine . and that is an image i am gon na have the rest of my life . it was taken from me , stolen from both of us . but now i 've got it back . sam : you have your life back . jason : that depends on you . [ scene_break ] sonny : i can not believe that julian had that witness od then he killed carlos . but i do n't think he can get away with it , because too many moving parts and too many witnesses . and he 's sloppy and he 's arrogant , but , um , i just got to figure out a way to use it against him . carly : no , no , no , you do n't . sonny : what ? carly : you can let the police handle it . you can , because you know that julian 's on the top of their suspect list . sonny : yeah , but alexis is on julian 's side . carly : oh , my god , i ca n't believe it . is n't that ironic ? i mean , she 's always been on her high horse when it comes to you , but now she 's crawling into bed with your enemy . sonny : here 's the thing . once this thing starts really falling apart for julian , alexis will walk through mud to be there for him . carly : i would do the same thing to be with you -- in a heartbeat . but you 're worth it . julian 's not . sonny : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm no saint , but -- but , you know -- carly : that 's true . sonny : by no means , but you do know that i would never put you in that position . i would never drag you into my business . carly : i know that . i know . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] julian : now , when you chose to accept me , knowing the part i played in duke 's murder , you -- you made your choice . alexis : you swore to me you were out of the mob . julian : i changed . i changed my life for us , alexis . but you had to know that at some point my past would come back to haunt us . alexis : not like this . julian : yes , like this . exactly like this , alexis , and if you ca n't admit that , then you 're -- you 're lying to yourself . because when push came to shove , i did exactly -- exactly -- what i had to do . alexis : i never wanted you to do this . [ sighs ] julian : maybe not . i know that you did want to protect our marriage as much as i did . why else would you choose to defend carlos ? you chose to defend us , to protect us . you wanted to make sure that carlos did n't take that deal to testify against me , because we love each other . alexis : i never meant for this to happen . julian : some part of you had to know that it could happen . but the important thing is , alexis , that it 's over . and all the threats have been ... eliminated . now we can live our life together . you know , with our daughter and grandson . molly and kristina and baby leo . your face can be the first thing that i wake up to every morning . you can lie in my arms every night for the rest of our lives . alexis , we can survive this . we have to . we do . otherwise ... otherwise , two men 's lives have been wasted , two men died for nothing . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : did you find him ? franco : no , but i got ahold of security . they pulled up the footage of the elevators and the front of the building , and the good news is nobody actually saw jake leave the hospital . elizabeth : okay , all right . then he 's -- he 's here . he 's just -- he 's angry and he 's hiding . franco : that 's got to be it , right ? that makes sense . that 's -- that 's the thing that makes the most sense . you heard , security 's on alert . there was an announcement over the pa . elizabeth : yeah , i know everyone 's looking for him . franco : everything 's gon na be fine , elizabeth . they 're gon na find him . elizabeth : what if someone took him ? franco : okay , well , let 's just focus on what we know for sure , which is that jake never left the hospital . elizabeth : but we do n't know that for sure . i already called the police . franco : well , that 's good . we need all the help we can get if we 're gon na search the entire hospital . amy : officers , this is elizabeth webber , jake 's mom . felix is making up a flier with jake 's picture . elizabeth : okay . amy : you 'll need a copy , too . elizabeth : thank you , amy . amy : i hope you find jake right away . officer : ms. webber , when 's the last time you saw your son ? elizabeth : 20 minutes ago . he had an appointment with his therapist . officer : did you accompany him to the doctor 's office ? elizabeth : no , no . he 's familiar with this place . i work here , and he 's been seeing dr. renault for months . [ scene_break ] jason : you wanted a divorce , because you wanted a chance to start new . sam : no , i wanted a divorce , because you could n't remember anything , and i needed a clean break , too . [ chuckles ] it 's what i get for not being patient . jason : actually , i think you 've been nothing but patient . you let me find my own way . sam : i think the hardest thing for me was to watch you judge yourself . you had latched onto the worst things that people said about you , and i could n't convince you that you were a good man . jason : not that good of a man . i 've made a lot of mistakes . some of the worst of which were with you . sam : oh , i 've made my fair share of mistakes , too . i 've -- i have hurt you . but you forgave me , and i forgave you , and now we have a chance to -- to start over . now we have a chance to find each other all over again . i have missed you so much . i love you so much . jason : i love you .

[ scene_break ] alexis : turns out my plan with durant was unnecessary because michael saw carly kill a.j . he was subpoenaed , and sonny confessed to the murder so that michael would n't have to testify . nikolas : will he go to prison ? alexis : maybe for 20 years . nikolas : should n't you be happy about that ? alexis : oh , there 's nothing about this that makes me happy , least of all the fact that ric is very disappointed in me ; he 's very angry . nikolas : you still love him , though ? alexis : more than i ever thought possible . but i need to protect my daughter . nikolas : you know , i 'm probably not the person to be giving marital advice right now , but i know this . i got so caught up in battling helena that -- that i forgot what was important to me . and i made a mistake and i paid for it . i 'd really hate to see that happen to you .

[ epiphany snickers ] lucky : i 'm here for my followup . patrick : really ? i thought you wanted my father to take over your case after you almost bit my head off last night . anna : it is possible that holly uncovered the culprit in her first try . dillon does have all the motives to steal the jewels . he 's a newlywed with all the inherent financial problems that that incurs . and from what i understand , his family has cut him off essentially without a dime . and you do have this sort of encyclopedic knowledge of crime dramas , any one of which could have been the blueprint for this little heist . and it is possible that the lovely young lady that sort of leapt to your defense so quickly and eagerly could be a willing accomplice . i mean , it was a long , exhausting day yesterday . we were all tired , right ? no one would have any trouble sleeping . or so we thought . still , we 're not an easy group to evade , so dillon would have to be extremely careful . that 's where the girl comes in . there 's always a girl , you know . anna : this was a very delicate operation . dillon had to stay laser - focused . no distractions . he used every one of his ninja - like instincts for success . dillon : come on ! robin : ok , then why did n't they just take the stuff and run ? anna : well , they knew that we would be right on their heels , so they wanted to just bide their time , maybe while we accused bigger fish . lulu : ok , no , this is absurd . i may be no saint , but everyone who knows dillon knows that he would never be able to steal anything . dillon : hey . luke : easy , daughter . do n't cast the light off him . you could throw it on yourself -- or worse , me . dillon : ok , can i just -- this -- this is a really cool little theory , and actually , i 'm very flattered by it . um -- but in order to get to holly , i 'd have to step over robin and robert and you . and robin may sleep soundly at night , but you guys are world - class spies with built - in radar , so it 'd be nearly impossible to pull that off without waking up at least one of you . robin : he has a point . anna : yeah . no , he does . very good , actually . the proximity is crucial , see ? and you were sleeping very close to your other ex - wife and her jewels last night . were n't you , ex - husband ? nikolas : you ca n't be serious . you think maxie has a crush on me ? come on . emily : men are so oblivious . nikolas , she gazed at you -- nikolas : oh -- emily : with hope in her eyes . she wants so badly to impress you . nikolas : really , you think ? emily : yeah . nikolas : that 's -- [ emily laughs ] nikolas : well , i mean , i do n't want to lead her on . maybe i 've been sending the wrong signals . i do n't know -- if i -- if i did , it certainly did n't occur to me . emily : ok , what signals ? nikolas : well , when jesse died , she was obviously unhappy , vulnerable , needed someone to talk to , so i tried to support her . but i 'd -- i 'd hate for her to read more into that . emily : well , do n't worry . she 'll get over it . nikolas : yeah . emily : or not . nikolas : do n't say that . emily : what ? once upon a time , i was a gawky teenager with a crush on an older guy who looked an awful lot like you . and here i am now , with another older man . look what you started . [ emily chuckles ] nikolas : big difference . maxie 's just a sweet girl with a crush . you 're in love with sonny . mike : there you go . ric : thanks . mike : sure . carly : kind of leaves you breathless , does n't it ? the thought of someone you barely know and you do n't trust , taking alexis somewhere . ca n't hold her hand , ca n't tell her that you love her . you would do whatever it took to find her . ric : look , it 's very convenient for you to ignore the fact that jason forced alexis ' hand . that surgery could have killed sam . carly : alexis is incapable of seeing anyone else 's position but her own . what i 'm asking you , ric , is what you would do in jason 's place . sam is n't a helpless little baby like molly . she 's not even a little girl like kristina . she 's a grown woman who has chosen to be with the man she loves , and that man happens to be jason . and sam does not want alexis , her mother of five minutes , taking her away from him . so i 'm not asking you for jason 's sake . i 'm asking you for sam 's . where the hell did alexis take her ? [ phone rings ] carly : hello ? jax : i have a problem , carly . it 's big . i need to see you right away . alexis : sam was shot in your arms . i think we can both agree that that bullet was meant for you . jason : yes . alexis : then you subjected her to illegal and life - threatening surgery . jason : oh , come on , alexis . we have been over this a million times . patrick drake said it was the only way to save her ! alexis : and there were doctors who did n't agree with you , jason . yet you did what you wanted , anyway . so now what we have is a staff placating you instead of taking care of sam . jason : oh , and so you take her someplace where the people are paid to listen to you ? alexis : i took her to a facility where she would get excellent and objective care . and i would think that you would want that for her . jason : do you honestly think sam would want any of this ? alexis : when sam wakes up , she will tell us exactly what she wants . but if she does n't wake up , jason , or if she has any lasting damage from that operation that you had performed illegay , i will use the law to come after you every way that i kw w how . robert : you see , sweetheart , this is why people preferred me as police commissioner -- anna : says who ? robert : rather than you . because i would never accuse anyone out of spite . anna : no , right , just like you would never pretend to be dead all these years , causing great anguish to your wife and daughter and brother . and the same way that you would n't just resurface in robin 's life without so much as a phone call to me . oh , no , you 're a standup guy , robert , with a solid moral center who 'd never do anything unethical . robin : i think this just stopped being about the jewels . anna : you 're a simple man with simple tastes , like travel , adventure , female companionship -- all of which costs a lot of money . and since you 're not on any kind of agency expense account anymore , these jewels would come in really handy . robert : mm - hmm . i was right . she 's using this stupid jewel theft to blame me for the faison debacle . anna : no , i 'm not . robin : dillon , lulu , pay attention . you know how they say that parents should stay together for the sake of the children ? right -- play this moment over and over again in your mind and be grateful for no - fault divorce . robert : i 'm sorry , sweetheart , but your mom thinks life 's so black and white , just like one of dillon 's movies . i did n't take holly 's jewelry . holly : why would we believe you ? anna : hmm . robert : there was a chill in the air last night as i recall . and i was warm . i was so warm that you moved in real close and threw a leg over mine when you thought i was asleep . anna : that was a moment of weakness . does n't mean anything . robert : my innocence , it does . now , let 's go back here for a second . for me to disentangle myself from you , get up , steal the jewels , nd a place to hide them , and get back in , and re - entangle myself around you -- well , you 'd have to have completely lost your touch . anna : all right . i stand corrected . you 're innocent of this crime . you 're getting very resourceful in your old age . and of course , you 'd have to be to associate with this crook . patrick : it 's obvious we do n't see eye to eye . if you can wait till friday , i 'll get another doctor to take your case . lucky : i ca n't wait till friday . listen , i probably overreacted last night . i was worried about elizabeth . i was a little hot , so i said some things . frankly , i 'm surprised that you have n't told her about it . patrick : i do n't need to get in the middle of your domestic dispute . lucky : there 's no -- patrick : hey , have you been doing something to aggravate your injury ? lucky : it 's possible . patrick : ould n't be in this much pain at this point . come on , go in the exam room . come on . epiphany : your husband 's here for his appointment . elizabeth : good . i can handle anything as long as i know lucky 's getting better . alexis : i want you to try to see this from my perspective . i know all too well the way your world works . it got sam shot . and it will continue to put her in danger , because you trade in violence . it makes you a target , as well as everyone else around you . jason : sam knows the risks , and she chose to be with me . alexis : sam is incapable of making a choice right now , which means that i 'm legally responsible to make it for her . jason : you gave up your rights when you gave sam away . alexis : i do n't expect you to understand this , jason , and i do n't need you to understand it . i 'm a mother . it 's very difficult . i do n't know that you know how difficult it is to give away something that you love because it 's better for them . jason : i do know . alexis : ok . well , we 're going in circles . i have no doubt that you have been -- [ jason sighs ] alexis : scanning the tri - state area looking for sam . jason : just make it easy and just tell me . tell me where she is ! alexis : you have a reputation for telling the truth . i want you to look me in the eye and i want you to tell me that sam is safe with you . that you will never put her in physical danger again . carly : hey . jax : hey . carly : is john ok ? jax : yeah . no , he 's fine , he 's fine . he 's -- he 's asleep . carly : well , then what 's the problem ? jax : this was waiting for me when i got home . no return address . carly : a paternity test . jax : yeah . carly : was there a note with it ? jax : oh , i think it 's pretty obvious that someone 's planning to blackmail me again . carly : ok , it 's that lab tech . jax : no . i already checked him out . he has n't left new zealand . plus , this had a port charles postmark on it . carly : well , who could it be , jax ? jax : i do n't know , i do n't know , but it seems like everyone can get ahold of this . it 's like you can print them off on the internet . i wo n't live like this , waiting for the other shoe to drop . you know , i 've kept the truth about john from everyone but you . even my own mother . i 'm not out to let somebody else spill it . carly : calm down . ok , you just need to calm down . we just need to wait for whoever sent this to contact you , and we 'll figure out what we do from that point on . jax : no . no . i can take away their power to extort me -- by telling nikolas that he 's john 's father . want the secret to healthy skin ? luke : me , a crook ? anna : mm - hmm . luke : you wound me to the quick . and that 's a shame . because i was just starting to think you and i had real potential . anna : that 's sweet -- i think . but i know you by reputation , you see , luke , and i know that you are a sucker for the chase . enough so that you would allow your competition to set himself up next to holly because it fit kind of perfectly into this little plan you had going . you are a loose cannon , luke . but you know when to play it cautious . anna : you spiked our drinks with something . and then you made your move . i understand that given a choice between a woman and her rubies , you 'll pick the rocks every time . it may be the only time you have the willpower to resist that kind of temptation . holly : mmm . oh , robert . luke : `` oh , robert `` ? that 's not the way it happened . holly : it was you . luke : i had snaked your bling the way anna says , you would n't be calling out this guy 's name . holly : stop explaining and give mmy jewels . luke : why -- why me ? why -- why notobert ? robert : because there 's not a shred of evidence against me . dillon : hey . hey , hey , hey , hey . yo . i got it . keyser soze . lulu : what , who ? what ? dillon : cut . may i , please ? anna : yeah , yeah , be my guest . dillon : thank you . kevin spacey , `` the usual suspects . `` `` nothing is what it seems . `` robin : in english , dillon . dillon : oh , come -- a gang of thieves is brought in for questioning about a particular heist . now , kevin spacey 's character completely diverts attention . except it turns out that he 's the mastermind behind the entire thing . his name is keyser soze . she , you , holly , are keyser soze . holly : oh , that 's ridiculous . robin : no . lulu : it 's beautiful , this whole victim act thing you got going on . robin : hold on a sec . right movie , dillon . ong suspect . robin : where are the jewels , mom ? elizabeth : hey . so , how 'd it go ? lucky : could n't be better . patrick : we 'll know more when we get the test results back tomorrow , but he seems to be healing . physically , he 's progressing faster than i would have thought . elizabeth : oh , good . that 's fantastic , lucky . i got to get this to the lab -- lucky : ok . elizabeth : but i 'm going to call you later , ok ? thanks . patrick : yeah . lucky : so , do n't forget my refill . patrick : hydrocodone ? lucky , that prescription was supposed to last you through the rest of the week . lucky : well , i guess there were a couple of times i had to push myself , so i had to take an extra , you know , pill or two to get through it . you know , i 'm still learning my limits . patrick : yeah , well , we warned you about this . it 's effective , but it 's highly addictive . lucky : i know , doc . i 'm married to a nurse . she 's monitoring my every move . patrick : are you completely out ? lucky : almost . patrick : well , you 're going to have to make do until the prescription date 's up on those . lucky : but i told you , elizabeth 's on it . patrick : ah , well , elizabeth has a lot on her mind , and i 'm your doctor , so 's my call . p.a . announcer : dr. patrick drake -- patrick : i do n't want to risk it . p.a . announcer : call 3406 . patrick : look , i got to take this , but just keep doing what you 're doing . you 're getting stronger every day . diego : maxie . maxie : diego , go away . i 'm waiting for someone . ego : o : ththat 's me . maxie : not even close . diego : coleman could n't make it , so he sent me over . maxie : you work for coleman ? diego : sometimes . maxie : does georgie know that ? diego : does georgie know that you have coleman on speed dial ? maxie : she does n't need to know . diego : my feelings exactly . maxie : god . what did coleman tell you ? diego : that he needed to make a phone call . untraceable . maxie : and you 're that someone . dieg look , i would gladly go away . but i have the voice distorter . you need me , baby . jax : i ca n't handle blackmail , anonymous or otherwise . i need to take this person 's power away . carly : by going to nikolas and telling him everything ? jax : what other choice do i have ? carly : i do n't know , jax , but , hell , we can come up with something ! i 've had experience with extortion . need i remind you how you and i became partners ? jax : i remember . carly : you rolled over when luke blackiled you with the hotel , and noyoyou 're about to roll over again ! jax : i know . i know . i roll over all the time . i roll over with the lab tech . hell , the whole town of port charles is going to come . jax is just going to roll over . he 'll pay off everybody . i 'm not doing it again ! carly : you have no idea who this is ? jax : look , dr . meadows had something to do with the initial coverup , but this just does n't feel like her . carly : ok , i 'm going to go talk to dr . meadows . jax : no , no , no , you -- carly : you stay here . look , if it 's cash they want , you have plenty , ok ? jax : huh . in the world of blackmail , plenty is never enough . emily : there you are . i picked up a few groceries . i 'm not sure if you even realize , but your fridge is completely empty except for hot sauce and a piece of cheese . i made a casserole , too . i know how you get when you 're preoccupied . you forget to eat . jason : you should n't have . emily : no , like i said , it was n't any trouble . emily : i wanted to do something , jason . sonny told me what happened at the station last night . i 'm glad that you two were at least able to talk to each other . jason : yeah , well , i -- i know you 're trying to help , but nothing 's changed . emily : please , jason . ca n't you just accept that i love sonny the same way that you love sam ? anna : robin , no , that is absurd . i resent the implication , darling . robert : nothing implied about it , dear . our daughter said you are the thief . dillon : way to go , robin . good third - act twist . i 'm proud of you . robin : thanks . anna : hey , well , i came here to ensure your safety , and -- and punish your father . i did n't come here to steal jewels . lulu : ok , hold on a second . was n't anna devane once the police chief of port charles ? anna : yes . robin : after she was new york 's most respected fence . my mother wrote the book on how to move stolen goods . oh , and i believe holly mentioned that she was drugged -- that 's one of your signature moves , mom . knockout drops . it 's a good bet she drugged holly and my dad , then waited for all of us to fall asleep . robin 's voice : this would be like taking candy from a baby . not that she ever would . candy does n't get you much on the black market . robis voice : once you had what you came for , mom , you slipped ba i into position and waited out the sunrise . robert : that is a beautiful piece of detective work . so astute . she gets that from me . luke : but knockout drugs ? that 's so old school . anna : oh , shut up . you know , you 're too clever by half , darling . robin : anyway , it does n't matter . it worked , did n't it ? would you hold this for me ? luke : sure . robin : thank you . hmm . luke : there they are . lulu : aha . [ gunfire ] [ gasps ] holly : i 'll take those now . i 've got a plane to catch . and i 'm sorry , but the rest of you are going to be all tied up . luke : one question , english . just how do you expect to tie all of us up and still hold on to that gun ? i 'm afraid you need a -- lulu : a what ? robert : partner in crime . elizabeth : hey , sorry . i got stuck . patrick : it 's ok . i do n't mind waiting for a beautiful woman . elizabeth : i do n't know how much longer i can keep this up . i got a weird vibe from lucky earlier . patrick : why do n't you tell him ? elizabeth : i can't . i can't . he 's in a lot of pn right now , and it 's not just physical . he ca n't work , he ca n't move . he lost his partner , which he blames himself for . financially , we 're -- god , we 're such a mess . he feels horrible about himself . and if i tell him the truth about what 's going on , it 'll really hurt him . patrick : well , that macho stuff gets you every time . why do n't we just call it quits ? it 's -- elizabeth : no , i do n't want to . it 's too important to me . lucky : it 's me . my wife is just leaving the hospital with him . jason : i am not going to have the same fight every time i see you . you know why i do n't want you with sonny . emily : sam just got the worst kind of reminder that there are dangers to being with you . but she did n't blame you , jason . she knows better . sam accepts the danger , because her love for you overrides anytng else . and you obviously accept that on some level , or you would n't stay with her . jason : it 's not t same . do n't even compare the situations , emily . emily : because sonny 's been known to be unstable ? jason : you have no idea . emily : what is more dgerous than a bullet , jason ? what is worse than going to a party , running to the man you love , knowing his arms are the safest place in the world , and getting shot instead ? do you think sam blames you ? because i know she doesn't . just like she does n't resent the things that you ca n't tell her , or the guards that are all around . sam accepts you and the life you live . she wants to live it with you . the dangers are hers to face . the risks are hers to take . you would n't ask sam to leave you for her own safety . so how can you ask me to leave sonny ? jason : thanks for the food . emily : i reserve the right to hope , jason . no matter what happens , i love you . lulu : this is low , even for you . luke : this is a valuable life lesson , gumdrop . trust no one . you 'll thank me one day . and if you do n't , you 'll still gain very valuable experience wiggling out of the ropes . dillon : any plans for food and water ? luke : oh , do n't worry . the australian 's a master at this . he 'll have you free in no time . holly : luke , you finished yet ? luke : yeah . anna : i hate to mention it , but you wo n't get away with this . robert : i intend to track you down like the two canines you are . anna : if i do n't get there first . robin : could you please gag them before you leave ? luke : i was counting on them talking each other to death . holly : ttfn . luke : that 's `` -ta for now . `` all : we know ! luke : english , this is a new beginning for a beautil friendship . tracy : step away from my husband . luke : spanky ! tracy : put me down , boots . luke : you came all this way to see me . i 'm so touched . you know ms . sutton .

[ scene_break ] dante : we do n't have time to fight . every day michael spends behind bars risks his life . so we need to work together and pool our resources to get him out . jax : i know a way sonny can contribute . suspend all illegal activities until michael 's released . because my contacts in washington are n't exactly keen to help a son of a gangster . okay ? it makes them look soft on crime . but if i can convince them that you 're concentrating on your legitimate businesses , then we might have a prayer of somebody lifting their finger to help us . sonny : the problem now , is i do n't trust you or your connections , so that 's kind of a tough situation we 're in . dante : that 's great , sonny . i mean , wow , you 're not gon na change any aspect of your life , even if it means you 're gon na get your son out of prison ? you 're so desperate to have this death grip on your precious power , that 's the only thing that matters to you . sonny : that 's not true . dante : then prove it . take your ego off the table , just this time . let him adopt morgan . it 's probably the best thing for morgan right now , anyway . sonny : your -- your mother kept you away from me your entire life . i am not losing another child . especially to him . [ scene_break ] carly : dante put michael in pentonville . and lulu stood right beside him and let it happen . they 're gon na regret it , and please do n't ask me to do nothing , because i do n't want to have to turn you down , and i will , jason . jason : carly , you know -- you know where this is gon na go . you get hurt , it turns to anger , you lash out , we know the results . carly : do n't worry about me , please . i 'm gon na be fine . i just want you to go concentrate on michael . you take care of him , please . jason : i promised you years ago that i would protect michael and give him a good life . and i 'm sorry i failed ... miserably , and i 'm not gon na fail again . carly : you never failed me . not once . now , you go -- you go take care of yourself . when michael comes back , i want you walking in the door right behind him . okay ? go . get out of here . jason : i love you . carly : i love you ... so much . jason : good , you 're home . uh -- spinelli : yes , i already know . it is a noble gesture , and one that i would expect of you , but i beseech you . do n't do this . if you allow yourself to be incarcerated , we who call ourselves your friends may never see you again . jason : it 's already done . i turn myself in tomorrow at 3 : 00 p.m . spinelli : well , fine . call the brusque lady . tell diane you changed your mind . surely she can find a way to extricate your from this well - intentioned but potentially fatal decision . jason : i have to take care of michael , spinelli . spinelli : agreed , and you can do everything in your power short of throwing your life away . jason : i appreciate your concern , but i ca n't leave michael unprotected . i ca n't do that .

sonny : anybody tell you , you got a death wish ? todd : no , i just want everyone to live happily ever after , and you can make you happen . sonny : yeah ? how ? todd : with one simple act of charity , one gesture , and you can save your girlfriend . and i can save my daughter . [ scene_break ] téa : an officer will be here soon to escort us to your arraignment . when the judge asks how you plead , you simply say `` not guilty . `` starr : do n't even bother . téa : estrella , we talked about this , okay ? starr : i know we did , and ... i know that i 'm not supposed to say it out loud , but i still tried to kill sonny . and nothing is going to stop him or michael from saying so . [ scene_break ] spinelli : please forgive me , maxie . judge : speak up . spinelli : lisa niles ' true killer ... is dr. matthew hunter . mac : matt killed lisa niles ? ! alexis : your honor , i 'm gon na request a recess , please , to confer with my client . judge : no , miss davis . we 're going to sort through this here and now . mr. spinelli , once again , you are at risk of a contempt citation . spinelli : look , i - i merely wish to set the record straight , and i - i swear i 'm telling the god 's honest truth . judge : i 'll need more than his word to vacate miss jones ' sentence . absent hard evidence or an eyewitness -- spinelli : no , no ! but there is an eyewitness ! [ scene_break ] maxie : [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry . i - it 's you . [ sobs ] matt : what do you mean ? w - what 's me ? maxie : y - you killed lisa niles . matt : no . no . no . no . i -- no , i did n't . maxie : yes , you did . i - i saw you . [ scene_break ] spinelli : your honor , there is , indeed , an eyewitness who saw lisa niles ' murder firsthand . d.a . : mr. spinelli was thoroughly interviewed during the investigation , and never once did he indicate that he 'd witnessed the murder . spinelli : that 's because i - i did n't witness it . maxie did . [ scene_break ] todd : this is how it goes , short , sweet , and simple . michael recalls his story about having seen starr try and kill you . and when starr is free , i make sure that kate dodges two murder charges . sonny : i do n't know what you 're talking about . todd : you do n't know what i 'm talking about ? your girlfriend , kate , took a potshot at your known enemy , anthony zacchara . consequently , kate caused the accident that caused my daughter 's boyfriend 's death ... and the death of my granddaughter . [ scene_break ] téa : starr , when you held that gun on sonny corinthos , you were not in your right mind . you 'd suffered an unimaginable loss and were overcome with grief . the judge will take that into consideration , and you should , too . starr : kate ? téa : estrella , i told you not to talk to sonny corinthos ' high - end gun moll . starr : would you stop ? kate has been good to me . talking to her has been the only thing that 's kept me sane . kate : likewise . although i 'd rather see you go free than have you in here to talk to . téa : if you truly want to help my client , then you 'll respect my limits and avoid further conversation . starr : that is completely unfair . kate , right before your lawyer showed up , you said that you wanted -- you wanted to tell me something . what was it ? [ scene_break ] anthony : venus ! i 'm so fired up about taking you for a spin on the lake . tracy : i 'll take you for a spin . anthony : oh ! tracy : oh . no . too clumsy . anthony : venus , i 'm so fired up about taking you for a spin on the lake . tracy : i 'll fire you up . anthony : aaaaaah ! tracy : no . too messy . anthony : venus , i 'm so fired up about taking you for a spin on the lake . tracy : how about a little squeeze ? anthony : [ gags ] tracy ? tracy : yes . anthony : i got your note . you wanted to see me ? tracy : [ sighs ] i do . let 's go for a spin on the lake . luke : what the hell are you doing , tracy ? [ scene_break ] d.a . : of course , miss jones witnessed the murder . she committed it . spinelli : no , t - that 's impossible . maxie wo n't even use makeup tested on animals . she -- she demands that spiders and centipedes be captured -- alexis : spinelli . spinelli : my -- my point is that she would n't hurt a soul . mac : except herself . spinelli : yeah , but that 's not how she perceives her actions . mac : how do you know how maxie perceives her actions ? and how long have you known it ? spinelli : i - i should have volunteered what i knew right away , but i - i promised maxie i would n't . mac : why ? felicia : because if the truth gets out , everything that maxie did would have been for nothing . spinelli : most perceptive . felicia : i 've made a lot of mistakes , but i know my daughter , and i know how far she would go to protect the people that she loves , like matt . right , spinelli ? [ scene_break ] matt : no . no . you -- you just -- y - you have it wrong . maxie : i wish i had . matt : no , i just -- i just think that you 've been through so much in these last couple of months . i mean , starting with what happened on the boat , right ? and -- and then with robin , losing robin . maxie : this is n't about robin . matt : you just have everything -- it 's -- it 's very jumbled up in your head . maxie : well , i 'm not confused . matt : yes , i think you are . maxie : i saw you . you picked up a wrench , and you hit lisa niles on the head , and she died . matt : i think i would have remembered killing a woman . maxie : not if you were so drunk , you blacked out . and that 's what happened that night . i 've been protecting you ever since . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know what , manning ? i 'm -- i 'm gon na do you a favor . i 'm not -- i 'm not gon na hold this disrespect against you . todd : oh , how generous . sonny : 'cause i can -- i can tell you 're not thinking straight . i - i get that , 'cause when my kids are hurting , i - i do crazy things , like making up some fairytale about s - somebody else was responsible or whatever it is you 're doing . todd : i - i 'm not . i 'm certain that it was kate . sonny : well , not long ago , you were certain that it was me , so you must -- you must need somebody to blame . todd : i was wrong about that . sonny : well , you know what ? you 're wrong about kate , too . todd : no , i 'm not . kate did it . i heard it right from her mouth . [ scene_break ] kate : you confided in me , starr . you were honest about what happened . téa : miss howard , your attorney advised you not to speak with my client . i suggest you take that advice . estrella , sonny corinthos ' attorney also represents kate howard . contact with her is not going to serve your defense . starr : but kate was really good to me . she -- she listened to me . you did , and it really helped me . i want to return the favor . if you have something on your mind , tell me what it is . alexis : do you think that starr suspects something ? do you think she was trying to guilt you into -- kate : she does n't know i 'm responsible . that 's why i have to tell her . she deserves to know how she lost her family . alexis : kate , what you think happened is theoretical . you do not know that you or connie had any involvement in that accident . kate : you 're right . okay , you 're right . [ gasps ] i just want to tell you how sorry i am for your loss . téa : if you 're so sorry , then why do n't you help her ? get your boyfriend , sonny , to back off . [ scene_break ] sonny : [ sighs ] all right . you gon na tell me that you -- you heard kate admit she shot out anthony 's tires ? you got the wrong woman , manning . todd : no , i - i do n't . beautiful woman . uh , blonde , about yea high , frayed nerves , in prison . that ring a bell ? i heard her tell her lawyer , alexis , that connie shot out anthony zacchara 's tires . alexis : assaulting dr. keenan may be the least of her problems . todd : do n't beat yourself up . it took me awhile to figure it out , too . sonny : figure out what ? todd : that kate and connie are the same person . sonny : that 's crazy . todd : yeah . by definition , it is crazy . dissociative identity disorder is ... a devastating disease . sonny : so , what ? you -- you know things about multiple personalities ? is that what you 're saying now ? todd : yeah , my sister and my niece . t - t - those are two different people . my sister and all the crazy people in her head , and then my niece and all the crazy people in her head and ... [ sighs ] kate 's gon na need your help . she ca n't get help in prison . you need to help her . you need to keep her out of prison . you keep her out of prison , then you 're the hero . all you got to do is play ball with me . come on . what do you say ? sonny : this plan of yours , you have n't really thought it through . todd : oh , no , no . i think i 've thought about it a lot . you know , i - i 've thought about the fact that you 're -- you 're a man of power . you 're accustomed to dictating all of the terms of the deal . you 're probably completely unaccustomed to someone like me dictating the terms of the deal , hence your , you know , knee - jerk resistance . so , as a countermeasure , i am prepared to offer a few freebies . sonny : that 's very generous . todd : said bonus items , uh , may include but are not limited to the use of my considerable media empire to fluff up the reputation of kate while destroying the reputation of her shrink . when i 'm done , kate will come out smelling like a rose , and her doctor with a dent in the head , fertilizer . come on . it 's perfect . sonny : except for one thing . this plan means nothing to me because kate means nothing to me . [ scene_break ] kate : i 'm afraid i ca n't help starr with sonny . téa : of course , you ca n't . not if it interferes with your relationship with the local cosa nostra . kate : it 's not that simple . téa : it never is with men like sonny corinthos . kate : what do you know about men like sonny corinthos ? téa : you have no idea . i 've been where you are . i 've wasted years of my life defending the indefensible , excusing the inexcusable on behalf of a man who did n't deserve it , a man who 's repaid with me nothing but grief . and by the time i figured out who he really was , it was too late . i 'd already lost too much . starr has lost even more . kate : not to sonny . he did not cause that accident . starr : téa , none of this is kate 's fault , and she is dealing with her own problems . you ca n't expect her to run interference for me with sonny . téa : do you think starr belongs in jail ? kate : of course not . téa : then do what you can to help her . prevail upon sonny 's better nature , assuming , of course , he has one . kate : if i thought for one second that me talking to sonny would help , i would . but right now , he does n't want to hear anything i have to say . [ scene_break ] spinelli : maxie 's loyalty to the ones she loves is unmatched . she would do anything for matt . mac : yeah , apparently she has . alexis : the next 20 years of maxie 's life are at stake , not to mention this little thing called judicial process . so enough with the self - serving agenda . i want full disclosure . the court has the right to know what transpired . [ scene_break ] matt : maxie , this does n't make any sense . maxie : i know . look . [ sniffles ] i saw what i saw , okay , which would have been nothing at all if spinelli had just dropped me off at that stupid party boat a minute later . [ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : the night of the murder , i - i rowed maxie around in an ill - conceived and sisyphean campaign to win her back . when i was finally persuaded that it was not to be , i submitted to her demands to deliver her to the party boat . [ scene_break ] maxie : i climbed on board of the boat . it did n't take two seconds before one of my heels was broken . matt : okay . all right . cut to the chase . maxie : this is the chase , matt . okay . after a little emergency repair , i went looking for you . well , i found you with lisa , and i was about to call out when i saw the wrench in your hand . and you just swung it at lisa , and she went overboard . and then you just wandered off . i was so stunned . i just stood there . eventually , i ran to the side of the boat to see if i could see lisa , but ... the water was just black and still , like she 'd never been there at all . i knew i had to find you , so i went looking for you , but all i found was the captain ... dead . [ scene_break ] mac : that 's when officer padilla found maxie . felicia : i do n't understand that . matt seems to really care about maxie . why would he let her take the fall for him ? spinelli : matt has no idea he 's the killer . mac : he was drunk that night . alexis : enough to black it out ? [ scene_break ] maxie : and when i finally got the chance to talk to you , i could tell that you did n't have a clue what happened . you were so drunk . you did n't remember the wrench or lisa or ... matt : or killing her . [ scene_break ] anthony : i like this old boathouse . man could get a lot of thinking done here . very peaceful . tracy : yes , and the good thing is , it 's so far away from the house that , um , nobody would know we were here . how about going for that sail ? anthony : eh , i do n't really feel like a boat ride . i 've had bad experiences on the water . tracy : oh , you know what ? you 're in really good hands , because i am a skilled yachtswoman . anthony : [ chuckles ] why does that not surprise me , venus ? you can accomplish anything you put your mind to . tracy : yeah , like killing you , you swine . anthony : excuse me ? tracy : like thrilling you , husband mine . come on . let 's go . anthony : i think i 'll stick to dry land . tracy : okay . whatever you want . anthony : whoa ! tracy : oh , i 'm sorry . anthony : what were you gon na do with this ? [ scene_break ] alexis : your honor , i move that my client 's sentence be vacated and that she be released immediately . due to the new evidence , it seems -- d.a . : what new evidence ? at best , this amounts to little more than hearsay . judge : i concur . mr. spinelli 's testimony is not enough . miss jones will stay where she is . alexis : your honor , with all due respect , i think my client should be afforded the opportunity to corroborate mr. spinelli 's testimony . judge : very well . if miss jones verifies mr. spinelli 's testimony , i 'll take another look . until then , court is adjourned . [ bangs gavel ] mac : you know , this is all gon na come out . and when it does , the d.a . 's office is gon na look very bad . judge : i know she 's your daughter , mac , but if you want me to spring her , you got to get me better evidence . felicia : better than a picture of the murder ? judge : which could have been doctored by the tech whiz over there , who also testified that he had feelings for her . imagine how the d.a . 's office would look if i release maxie on his say - so . alexis : would you rather incarcerate an innocent woman ? the truth it out . the best damage control is to expedite maxie 's release . judge : tell you what . i 'll agree to set aside the confession and vacate the sentence , provided maxie signs a formal agreement testifying under oath against matt hunter . alexis : done . judge : i 'll draw up the deal . alexis : okay . i got to go . i have a client . i 'm gon na be a minute , all right ? felicia : we 'll get the deal to maxie . alexis : okay . mac : yeah , one way or another , we 're gon na get her signature . [ scene_break ] matt : you knew this whole time ? maxie : [ scoffs ] matt : [ scoffs ] why did n't you just say something ? maxie : like what ? `` hey , honey , pass the foie gras , and , uh , by the way , do you remember bludgeoning lisa niles to death ? `` matt : [ sniffs ] maxie : look , even if i had told you what happened , you would n't have wanted to remember it . matt : you just , you should -- you should have said something . maxie : i had to protect you . i had to wait and see if the police would figure it out . matt : and you knew that they were getting close when they called us out to the party boat and wanted us to revisit the scene of the crime . maxie : remember when mac tricked all of us into turning against each other ? i ... it was n't the nicest thing he 's ever done , but it was really good police work . i figured it was only a matter of time before someone remembered seeing you or you remembered yourself . matt : you wanted to change the direction of where the investigation was going , but you needed help . maxie : so i went to anthony zacchara . [ scene_break ] anthony : venus . what were you doing with this rope ? tracy : [ laughs ] can i have that back ? anthony : it depends on what you 're gon na do with it . tracy : well , it 's , um , called a bowline . it 's for the boat . anthony : [ laughs ] well , you really know your stuff . okay . i 'm convinced . let 's go for a sail . tracy : great . let 's go . anthony : just let me get my swimsuit . tracy : no , no , no , no , no , no ! you wo n't need a swimsuit ! you wo n't get wet ! i promise ! anthony : better safe than sorry ! tracy : oh ! luke : shh ! quiet . quiet . quiet . shh , shh , shh , shh . [ scene_break ] kate : i 'm so sorry i ca n't help with sonny . if there 's anything i can do , starr -- téa : then why do n't we go back to my first request ? please refrain from any further conversation with my client . starr : téa , it 's okay . we really only talked about cole and hope . i 'm sorry that i unloaded on you . kate : it 's okay . i asked you . starr : i hope everything works out for you . kate : srr ! good luck in court . [ scene_break ] todd : you and kate hit a rough patch ? sonny : yeah . you know what ? i got rid of her , so it would have saved you a lot of time if you had known that before you came in here . and i do n't really give a damn what happens to her . todd : right . so it wo n't bother you at all if i run a bunch of headlines about the fashion editor who 's really a child predator ? sonny : you go ahead and do what you want to do . todd : wow . [ chuckles ] sonny : [ sniffs ] todd : how do you do that ? i - i could -- i could learn a thing or two from you . once i love a woman , even if we 're not together , i - i ca n't just stop caring about her . sonny : then you 're a fool . todd : maybe . you tell michael to recant his statement , or kate fries . [ scene_break ] judge : now remember , maxie has to be willing to testify against matt hunter in court or the deal 's off . mac : i 'll get this back to you right away . judge : please . i want to get this sorry mess behind us . why your guy spinelli decided to keep quiet on this for so long is beyond me . [ scene_break ] maxie : [ voice breaking ] if you love me , you 'll keep my secret . please , spinelli . look . i 'm begging you . it 's all i 'll ever ask . just help me protect matt . spinelli : to hell with matt ! i 'm worried about you ! maxie : i 'll be fine , okay ? i knew what i was getting into when i confessed . spinelli : maxie , this is not your choice . he 's guilty of a crime . you 're circumventing justice . it 's not right . maxie : look , i 'm just trying to save patrick , okay ? god ... ca n't you understand that ? i already took his wife . i do n't want to take his brother , too . i mean , think of emma . she 's already lost her mother . you want her to lose her uncle , as well ? felicia : spinelli . you okay ? spinelli : i will be once maxie 's free . mac : look , we got the offer . let 's get over to pentonville and get maxie onboard . spinelli : okay , with all due respect , commissioner , i think i should be the one to go . [ scene_break ] matt : so , that first confession that you made about asking anthony to pin it on somebody else , that part is true ? maxie : i thought he 'd mess around with the evidence or something . i mean , i never dreamed that he would kill the first mate and then forge a suicide note . matt : so , wait . i do n't get it . why did you change your story ? why did you claim that you killed the first mate ? a - and how did you get that forger to come in and say t - that you paid him ? maxie : okay . when i was down there in the holding cell with anthony , he told me that if i did n't cover for him , i 'd regret it . so , i changed my story , and he got the forger to back it up . matt : i do n't -- i do n't believe this . this is -- maxie : well , too bad . you wanted to know the truth . surprise ! the truth sucks , matt . you know , i went to anthony zacchara for help , and he killed someone , which makes me an accessory , or at the very least , it means that i 'm involved in the murder of an innocent woman . matt : no , i do n't buy it . i - i do n't buy it . i think that anthony was gon na pin this on the first mate all along . maxie : well ... we 'll never know , will we ? the first mate is dead , and so is lisa niles , and ...

[ scene_break ] mac : you want us to sit on our hands while you get maxie released from pentonville ? spinelli : look , it 's not glory that i seek . i - i just want maxie 's freedom . but given that she 's gone to such lengths to surrender it , she will not be easily swayed to take it back . mac : we 're her family . spinelli : yes . but is n't it true that maxie is the most intractable when faced with your disapproval ? a - and forgive me for saying so , but given your tenuous relationship with your daughter , do you -- do you really think that you 're equipped to c - change her course ? mac : and you are ? spinelli : i -- honestly , i do n't know , but i - i do think the best chance at success is for me to -- to face her head - on with my betrayal . felicia : it was n't betrayal , spinelli . you told the truth . spinelli : yeah , but i - i broke a promise . she needs to hear it from me . felicia : if it was n't for spinelli , maxie would n't have this chance . okay . go . bring her home . mac : spinelli .

's relish , but i 'm fine . nikolas : good , then . you 'll come ? elizabeth : i appreciate the invitation -- nikolas : but ? elizabeth : did your mother really extend it ? nikolas : yes . why is that such a surprise ? you used to be her daughter - in - law . you 're the mother of her grandchildren . why would n't she invite you ? elizabeth : did she ? nikolas : elizabeth , why does it matter who invited whom ? it 's a family wedding , and you 're part of the family . and , seriously , we 've had enough pain to last a lifetime . we finally have something to celebrate , right ? my mother deserves to be surrounded by people that love her as she starts a new life . come on . the more the merrier , or whatever you americans say . [ both laugh ] i really want you and the boys to come , so how about it ? a.j . : how about what ? man : seriously . so you think that someone did something to that relish on purpose ? strangers things have happened . man : yeah , i guess , but -- but to poison a condiment on national television ? [ laughs ] whoever did that has to be one sick puppy . i would n't go that far . man : i would . the guy is a food saboteur . maybe somebody just wanted to screw with elq and send it into a tailspin , make the company ripe so someone could take it over .

nikolas : well , i came by to wish elizabeth a speedy recovery . i was n't sure she 'd be back on her feet after she was poisoned by your relish . a.j . : mm . well , actually , i need to speak with elizabeth , so if you 're done -- elizabeth : just a second . um -- nikolas was in the middle of inviting me to his mother 's wedding , and i was about to give him an answer . yes . yes , i accept your invitation . i assume that includes a plus - one ? a.j . , would you like to go to the wedding with me ? a.j . : i would love to . elizabeth : great . thank you for the invite . i 'll see you there . a.j . : wow . just when i did n't think you could look any more beautiful -- you prove me wrong . elizabeth : thank you . a.j . : thank you for inviting me to scott and laura 's wedding . something tells me that nikolas did n't intend for there to be a plus - one . elizabeth : oh . no , he did n't . but he was pressuring me , and i 'm just really glad you showed up when you did . anyone ever tell you you have perfect timing ? a.j . : you know , i used to wait for moments like that -- being in the right place at the right time for something good to happen -- and i realized somewhere along the way that you got to make those moments , and when you 're lucky enough to do that , you got to make sure that you do n't throw them away . elizabeth : is that what you 're thinking ? this is one of those moments ? a.j . : elizabeth -- elizabeth : yes ? a.j . : there 's something i need to tell you . scott : no , no , lucy , i need mayor lomax here at wyndemere , not at the courthouse . okay . good , good . thanks . goodbye . oh , hey , nikolas , spencer . how you doing ? nice to see you again . nikolas : you need to go get ready for the wedding , all right ? all right , go on . scott : listen , i want to thank you for hosting the wedding here . it 's very important that your mother has a great day . nikolas : yes , it is . where is she ? scott : she 's getting dressed with your grandmother . and speaking of lesley , she was hoping that you were out corralling some other family members . nikolas : i was . elizabeth is coming with cam and aiden . scott : elizabeth ? is she your date ? nikolas : actually , no , she 's not . i tried to trick her into coming with me , but she beat me at my own game . a.j . : listen , you , uh -- you may want to rethink what you said about this being a good moment . elizabeth : what do you mean ? a.j . : look , i would n't tell you this -- not now , with us about to go out -- but it 's important . elizabeth : does this have anything to do with tracy taking your phone earlier ? a.j . : yeah , in a way . do you think we could just sit down for a second ?

when did you start feuding with mac scorpio ? luke : if he wants to give sermons , he should have gone to the seminary . tracy : okay . i 'll bite . what did mac sermonize about ? luke : this . mac : i thought i was doing him a favor by stopping him at one . felicia : you were . mac : who am i to tell luke what to do ? i 'm a bartender . my job is pouring drinks . if i did n't know luke and everything he 'd been through , i would n't have said anything . felicia : mac , you did the right thing . it 's not your problem . it 's his problem . nobody tells him what to do . nobody ever could . luke : last thing i need from a bartender is the 12-step tango . bubba even brought up the fact that i -- had that rat hole 's name changed because of jake . not that that 's any of his business , but i did it because i did n't want elizabeth to have to drive past it every day . did n't want her to have to have that big red neon reminder of what happened next to the roadside . i was not trying to avoid what happened . there is no avoidance of that little boy 's death , ever . i just do n't need any lectures about it , especially from mac scorpio .

jason : your mother works there . do n't get caught . stan : ah , do n't worry about it . see you in a little bit . bernie : ok , we got problems with the escobars . they 're gathering their people , they 're going to make a move . jason : how ?

posting rewards for my return like i 'm some sort of wayward puppy ? robert : i mean , what if one of your hired thugs had shot first and asked questions later ? i mean , hubby here might come back in a body bag . luke : that 's right . imagine your grief if that would have happened . imagine the recriminations you would 've felt , the -- tracy : you should be down on your knees in gratitude . i just resolved your problems with the authorities . they believe that scorpio is not a terrorist , that you know nothing about the virus , and that holly is -- holly . lulu : wow . stepmonster , you -- you came through . i 'm speechless . tracy : one can only hope . and i have bought you all tickets on a flight to port charles . you 'll be home by tomorrow night . holly : this is all well and good , but i ca n't help wondering what possible reason you could have for bailing me out . tracy : if i left you to the incarceration you so richly deserve , that would make you a damsel in distress , and then my husband would feel compelled to risk life and limb to rescue you . as it stands , you 're nothing but a cheap tart . anna : oh , i love that , tracy . you are a very perceptive woman . that 's absolutely right . robin : mom , mom , mom -- anna : what ? robin : play nicely -- with the cheap tart . dillon : ok -- um -- mom , how did you do all that ? tracy : power of persuasion . dillon : yeah , no offense , but people usually do n't like it when you force things down their throats . tracy : sweetheart -- cash , lots of it . dillon : oh , good , right . so you just , you know , bribed the authorities ? ok . tracy : darling , do yourself a favor . do not be dazzled by tales of high adventure . understand that i just bailed my husba 's larcenous butt out of the fire with money . because at the end of the day , that is the universal language . money is power . dillon : that 's depressing -- not to mention true , probably . luke : ok , well , everybody , i think we should mobilize . i do n't know about the rest of you , but i 'm in the mood for a hot shower , a nice steak , and a good , stiff glass of whiskey . tracy : not so fast . luke : oh , i 'm sorry , dear . was i being rude ? ladies first . tracy : no . you see , i 've come all this way to find you . and i have n't quite decided if i want to mount your head on a wall or make you fulfill your conjugal obligations . llon : `` conjugal obligations `` ? holly : it 's the least you could do for your wife , after all she 's done for us ? robin : i think it 's sweet . lulu : is this as traumatizing for you as it is for me ? dillon : a lifetime of therapy wo n't make a dent . robin : lulu , but your stepmonster went through so much trouble . anna : yeah , just for a roll in the hay with her errant husband . dillon : oh , stop , please ! robert : uh -- good idea . so , without further ado -- luke : oh , wait , wait , wait . i think before you go , we should all share a meal ? how about i whip up a nice big batch of barbecued snake ? dillon : no , thank you . luke : oh , you 're going to love it . come on , i 'll do all the work . it 'll be on -- on us . my wife and i insist . tracy : we do ? luke : we do . robin : well , i do n't know about the rest of you , but now that the danger stuff has passed , i 'd like to go home . robert : i could n't agree more . lulu : yeah , thanks anyway , dad . anna : have fun , lovebirds . luke : uh -- is n't there anything that i could say that might change your minds ? holly : do you know what ? all of a sden i 'm famished . robert : ah , what 's the hurry ? anna : yeah , well , i am going to call it a day . tracy , i assume that you had other forms of transportation other than the lovely sedan you rode in on ? tracy : you assume correctly . robert : look , why do n't you start dinner . i 'll take ex - wife and the kids to the airport , and i 'll be right back . luke : good plan . lulu : ahem . well , dad -- luke : lulu , sorry about that tying you up -- lulu : no , d , do n't worry about it . it 's just one of those father - daughter bondage moments . [ luke chuckles ] dillon : it 's -- uh -- been an education . holly : it could 've been so much more of one . lulu : oh , ok . yeah , time to go . get up . dillon : i -- i do n't -- lulu : yeah . dillon : i think i -- maybe -- lulu : go . robin : fine . i ca n't believe i 'm saying this , but it 's been fun . robert : sweetheart , i am so glad you came along for the ride . luke : anna , i would kind of like to tell you that you certainly have lived up to your hype . anna : hmm . oh -- uh -- likewise i 'm sure . luke : well , thanks . give me a call sometime . anna : you in the book ? luke : all of them , everywhere . mike : all right , where 's -- where 's the lecture ? sonny : why waste my breath ? mike : michael , you have every right to tear into me . it 's been going on since you were a kid . my gambling ruined your childhood and courtney 's , too . sonny : it 's a sickness , mike . i wish you 'd get help . but i 'm not going to force you to do it . you 're going to have to come to that on your own terms . in the meantime , i do n't want you to get hurt . so , tell me what your debts are , and i will pay them . mike : michael , are you -- are you messing with me ? sonny : how much do you need , mike ? mike : sonny , are you ok ? epiphany : i know for a fact the good lord did not answer my prayers and turn you from a no - good criminal into a useful member of society . so what are you doing here dressed like that ? jax : it 's just problems with building permits . you know how it goes . alexis : yeah , well , you certainly sounded upset about it . jax : i was actually hoping i could count on your help with that , now that you 're the new d.a . alexis : ah . so you want me to use my new position to grant my friends special favors , compromise my integrity , and trample on my oath of office ? jax : yeah . alexis : for you , no problem . jax : congratulations on the appointment , by the way . alexis : jax , the job is the least of my surprises right now . jax : yeah , i heard about sam . anything i can do to help ? alexis : yes , there is . as you can imagine , jason and i are having some very serious disagreements , and that is putting it mildly . we both know that carly is going to support his position . i am asking , as yourriend , to not help her help him . dealing with jason is enough . i ca n't deal with any more than that . please do n't make me have to deal with you , too . richie : mr. morgan is in a meeting . carly : i need to talk to you . bernie : i 'll -- i 'll be back . [ jason sighs ] jason : what do you want ? carly : i need your help . i need a little muscle . jason : define that . carly : it 's possible i 'll need to have someone intimidated . diego : i recognized the voice on the other side of the line . it was jax . maxie : that is none of your business . diego : oh , it is -- when you 're blackmailing the guy and i 'm incriminating myself for making the call . maxie : you have a voice disguiser . diego : i do n't care . look , jax has money and connections , ok ? he 's a major player . trying to blackmail him is crazy . i do n't want anything to do with this . [ phone rings ] nikolas : hello ? maxie : nikolas , it 's maxie . nikolas : hey , what 's up ? maxie : i just -- i need to meet up with you . it 's important . jax : it must 've been a shock when you found out that sam was your daughter . alexis : `` shock `` does n't even describe how i feel . i do n't know how i feel . i 'm -- i 'm relieved , i 'm conflicted , i 'm guilty , i 'm scared . i can -- i can look at her one minute and i 'm completely disconnected , i do n't know who the hell she is . i look at her the next minute and i go , `` oh , my god , that 's my daughter . `` jax : yeah , i know sam 's never been your favorite person , has she ? alexis : i understand what she might be going through and i want to help her , i want to be there for her . i want to have a future with her , but i ca n't do that if jason gets her killed . jax : for the record , i 'm on your side . alexis : thank you . thank you . that means something to me , and i was really hoping that you would be . jax : i would never defend jason , or his motives . alexis : but ? jax : but i also believe that he loves sam -- in his own way . alexis : i believe that he loves sam . it 's not about whether he loves her , it 's about whether he can keep her safe . he 's a hit man , for god 's sake . jax : i know , i know . i 'm sorry . alexis : all that i have the power to do , jax , all at i 'm able to do at this point is to keep her safe and protect her , which is why i moved her , even though ric and probably everybody else thinks that 's a drastic move . jax : ok , if the situation was the same and kristina was the one who 'd been injured , would you have hidden her ? alexis : in a heartbeat . jax : well , then there 's your answer . sam 's your daughter , and it 's a parent 's duty to protect his or her child . alexis : look at you . having a kid has really changed you , huh ? jax : yeah . you have no idea . jason : if you 're here about the guy who killed your father , i 'm sorry -- carly : i 'm not . this is n't about my father , ok ? jason : then who do you want intimidated ? carly : i 'm trng to help jax with something .

sam : statistics reveal one in every four women will experience some sort of domestic violence in their lifetime . one of the questions this segment aims to answer is , what do we do when someone we thought we could trust turns on us ? amelia : sam claims she shot my father in self - defense . how much are you willing to bet when she relives that night with cameras rolling , it 's going to look a lot more like what it really was -- murder ? [ scene_break ] sonny : max , it 's me . craig 's back . double security at the hotel -- logan : listen to me . sonny : okay -- let me call you back . i thought i told you to take care of this . man : i 'm sorry , mr. corinthos , it wo n't happen again . sonny : get him out of here . i do n't have time for this right now ! logan : it 's your life that 's on the line here . sonny : hey , wait a minute , wait a minute . let him in , let him in . close the door . [ door closes ] logan : alcazar had a meeting with the guy behind the counter . he paid him a lot of money to poison you . sonny : vinnie ? logan : yeah , he -- he 's probably worked here since , you know , the place opened , right ? makes him the perfect guy to take you out . [ knock on door ] vinnie : here 's your espresso , boss . sonny : you know what ? vin -- um -- it smells kind of funny . did you scorch the beans ? vinnie : no . i made it the same as i always do . sonny : can you taste it , see if it -- maybe if it 's the same ? vinnie : why do n't i just make you a new cup ? sonny : why do n't you just drink this one ? vinnie : no . sonny : why , vinnie ? vinnie : it 's poisoned . sonny : because ? vinnie : alcazar paid me to kill you . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : come on , skye . give me a reason , any reason , why sonny 's barista would recognize you , other than that you 've been visiting sonny 's office . is that where you 're going when you 're supposedly running errands , or buying clothes a fashion plate like you would never dream of putting on our daughter ? skye : you know what ? i 've had about up to `` here `` with having to justify every single move that i make , with constantly trying to prove myself to you . well , how about we flip the script for a change ? how about you start proving a few things to me ? [ scene_break ] jax : i do n't know what 's going on anymore . i -- i ca n't believe what jerry 's done . i know that something happened to him and he wo n't say what -- even after he -- he said that he was in business with alcazar , and his part in the hostage crisis . carly : `` his part `` ? jax , it was his floorshow and he enjoyed every minute of it ! jax : okay , i 'm not disputing that . but he wo n't discuss why . [ carly sighs ] jax : what would motivate him to do something like that ? i mean , the -- the once reckless brother that i knew -- what would turn him into a terrorist ? carly : i do n't care ! i do n't care about his motivation ! jax : well , i do , okay ? and i realize that you have every reason to hate him , that you want to see him pay for his crimes , but i -- as your husband , i 'm asking you -- i 'm begging you . please , help me help my brother . [ scene_break ] jerry : this is a rather problematic place for a shootout , do n't you think ? we 're practically on top of the pcpd ! jason : whew . i do n't care , as long as you die ! [ scene_break ] amelia : sam 's going through a personal crisis right now , which means she 's already raw . it wo n't take much to throw her off an emotional cliff . then we can watch little miss mccall flail for her life like she so richly deserves . sam : amelia ? can i talk to you for a second ? amelia : sure . is something wrong ? sam : well , it 's just that this copy is the only wraparound for the segment . i 'm just -- i 'm really not clear on what the heart of the whole story is . amelia : well , the statistical fact that our viewers are far more likely to encounter domestic violence than , say , being trapped in a burning building or a hotel lobby . sam : no , of course , i understand that . i just do n't know what my involvement in -- in this whole thing is . amelia : it 's another reenactment . we 're going to take our viewers through an example of an abusive situation and show them what to do -- and what not to do . an unfortunate byproduct of domestic violence is women become too afraid to act in the moment . they end up facing criminal charges when they do something in the dead of night -- when the abuser is asleep or otherwise incapacitated . we 're going to demonstrate how a woman -- even a tiny little thing like yourself -- can protect herself without resorting to murder . [ scene_break ] skye : maybe you were too busy playing the mental cripple to fully appreciate what was going on . well , let me remind you . in order to protect you , i put myself into the line of fire . so all of sonny 's anger and suspicions got diverted to me . so we had a few ugly confrontations . lorenzo : why did n't you tell me ? skye : i did n't want to tax your feeble brain . really , it 's a miracle that i 'm still around to tell the tale , because sonny had all the chances in the world to eliminate me , because my big protector was faking brain damage and using me as a decoy to run his business . lorenzo : i have apologized for that . skye : yeah , and i 've forgiven you . and i am trying to trust you again -- too bad you ca n't say the same thing . lorenzo : so in the world according to skye , sonny 's barista recognizing you should n't raise any suspicion at all ? skye : sonny 's barista probably recognizes me because he saw me walking into sonny 's office through the coffeehouse . that is why i look so familiar to him . is that enough of an explanation for you ? lorenzo : well , i 'm sorry you 're upset . i do want to believe you . skye : who cares ? you 've already stolen my daughter . what the hell else do i have to lose ?

[ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] dante : who was that ? [ lucky sighs ] lucky : a former prosecutor on long island . turns out the rich daughter was coerced by her boyfriend . he threatened to kill her entire family . it did n't come out until after the trial because the girl was too scared to testify . a corroborating witness came forward . the verdict was set aside . judge carroll made an ethical decision . there 's nothing for us to use against this guy . dante : that 's great . where were his ethics when he shipped my brother off to pentonville with a bull 's - eye on his back ? lucky : i 'm not saying he was n't wrong . i 'm just saying he 's not dirty . dante : michael saved 2 lives , okay ? i mean , did he even take that into consideration ? no . did he even let that register when he put him in pentonville with a bull 's - eye on his back ? he 's a kid named corinthos , okay . he 's a target . now the honorable peter carroll , he 's squeaky clean . we have nothing from his background to convince him to change his mind . lucky : at least , nothing legitimate .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : it 's not as if you planned to run kiefer down with your car . the only thing you may be guilty of is being human . do n't do this to yourself . you 've been given appropriate punishment -- a suspended sentence and community service . the bauers will leave you alone . i 'll make sure of it . alexis : no , no . they 're grieving . please do n't do anything illegal or improper . nikolas : so you 're saying it 's okay with you if kristina 's forced to take the stand ? alexis : why does it have to be one way or the other ? nikolas : because the bauers are pushing hard to punish you and kristina . maybe it 's time they see what happens when the cassadines push back . [ scene_break ] lucky : you know , mac asked me to escort michael to pentonville . dante : i 'm sure it helped him to have a friendly face around . lucky : yeah , well i had to shackle michael . i had to watch him say good - bye to his mother , his brother and sister , his cousin . i do n't know , man . maybe it 's like my old man says -- do you want legal , or do you want fair ? dante : would you fabricate evidence against a judge to get michael 's sentence overturned ? lucky : would you , if it was the only key to michael 's release ? dante : look , i know this is n't fair , but i 'm not going to frame an innocent man , even if it is to save michael . that makes us no better than sonny . lucky : then what 's left ? dante : i do n't know . there 's someone i got to go see .

i think it was you . you gave me champagne , put me to sleep on your couch . nikolas : i was just trying to be a friend to you , maxie . maxie : you made me feel like we had a connection . nikolas : you were still reeling -- and probably still are -- from losing jesse , so i felt empathy for you because i went through the same thing . so in that respect , yes , a connection was made . but if i said or did anything to make you think that i felt otherwise , then i 'm sorry . maxie : you mean you feel sorry for me . i do n't want your pity , nikolas . it 's patronizing and it 's insulting . at least my love for jesse was n't complicated by someone else . you dumped emily , who you 're still in love with -- do n't bother to deny it -- for courtney , who inconveniently died , and now you are alone . maybe you 're getting exactly what you deserve . nikolas : yeah , maybe i am . sonny : why do you have that `` i got to go `` look ? emily : i need to get to the hospital . sonny : can you stay just -- i mean , i want to salvage , you know , what i ruined . emily : it was n't ruined , but i have a paper that i have to finish and i left my lab book at the nurses ' station . sonny : ok , i 'll drive you , i 'll drive you . emily : no , no , no , you really do n't have to . i 'm fine . sonny : yes , i do , because i want to make sure that jason 's ok . emily : you do ? sonny : yeah . i told you , i 'm not angry . i just -- i want to offer my help . thank you , guys . next time , we 're going to order in . huh . you ready ? emily : yeah . sonny : come on , come on . go , go , go . max : there 's something really wrong with him . you know , if jason were here , he 'd see it , too . noah : sam 's vitals are very good . still no sign that she 's regaining consciousness yet , though . alexis : is it time to worry ? noah : no . she 's still within the normal range of recuperation for surgery of this kind . if she has n't regained consciousness in a couple of days , i 'd say yeah , maybe it 's time to worry . jason : when she wakes up , is she going to be all right ? noah : well , the surgery comes with some risks -- i mean , brain damage is a possibility , impaired motor skills -- but it 's all speculation , you know ? i mean , when sam wakes up , and not a moment before , we 'll know what we 're dealing with . alexis : you 've been apprised of the consequences of the surgery . jason , i think it would be best if you left . jason : you ca n't just throw me out of her life . it 's not your decision , it 's hers . alexis : until she can make a decision on her own , it 's my job legally to make it . i know that you love her , and i know that you did n't mean for any of this to happen . but it did . she may be lying in there for the rest of her life because of a bullet that was meant for you . you were all she had , you were her only family . but she does have more than that now . she 'll survive if you just let her go . jason : that 's real convenient for you , alexis . where do i fit in ? i 'm supposed to just walk away because a woman sam could n't stand three months ago turns out to be her biological mother ? would you throw away your life with ric just because someone wanted you to ? alexis : that 's exactly what you 're asking sonny to do with emily . my god , what kind of a hypocrite are you ? maxie : hey , it 's maxie . look , i made a terrible mess of things and i really need to talk to you . emily : hi . i think i left my lab book here . nurse : yes . here it is . emily : oh . thank you so much . nurse : sure . lainey : all right , thank you . emily : lainey . hi . lainey : hi . emily : do you have a minute ? lainey : sure . is everything ok ? emily : probably . sometimes i worry too much . it 's sonny . uh , this feels like such a betrayal even mentioning it , and -- and i know that he 'd see it that way , too . lainey : whatever you tell me stays between us , if that makes it easier . emily : ok . yeah -- emily : um -- i started to notice when we were on vacation in spain , sonny went through this -- this mood thing . lainey : can you be more specific ? emily : yeah . we were happy to be away together . we were glad to finally be on reprieve from all of the disapproval . and -- anyway , sonny was really wound up . he could n't sleep . he -- he 'd get up and start drinking . and i asked him if he was ok -- the juxtaposition was just so extreme it threw me . lainey : mm - hmm . emily : he said that it just happens -- that he gets too amped to sleep for days and that he has to exhaust himself by either taking long swims or drinking until he crashes . lainey : mm - hmm ? emily : and he also has a very intense temper . jason warned me about it , but i did n't really see it -- until tonight . lainey : what happened ? emily : he was in a great mood , right ? he -- he made dinner , and then all of a sudden he flipped out because the pasta sauce was n't perfect . and when i say `` flipped , `` i mean he flew into a rage . how worried should i be ? sonny : how 's sam ? jason : she 's stable . she 's been unconscious for so long , though . sonny : she 's as strong as , you know , they come . she has a reason to live . jason : i hope it 's enough . sonny : any leads on the shooter ? jason : no . nothing . sonny : could be escobar . maybe he 's still motivated , since you shot his brother to save me . jason : yeah , if they were trying to send me a message , i would 've heard it by now . sonny : message is clear -- you 're supposed to be dead . we 're not going to let that happen .

[ maxie sighs ] robin : hey . i just got your message . are you ok ? emily : it 's not that i do n't have experience with moody men , you know ? my grandfather , my dad , nikolas . but what i saw with sonny is something completely different altogether . lainey : the symptoms you 've described could indicate bipolar disorder . but it 's unusual for somebody of sonny 's age and level of success to have gone undiagnosed and untreated for that long , let alone remain as functional as he has . on the other hand , sonny 's been under enormous stress -- trouble with jason over you , the business , sam being shot . he could just be on overload . emily : so you do n't think it 's anything to worry about ? lainey : possibly premature . but i will tell you this . in cases like this , it 's best to know what you 're dealing with , which means getting sonny in for psychiatric evaluation so that we can determine if he has a propensity for this kind of condition . emily : i can pretty safely say that 's not going to happen . lainey : right . well , i guess basically all you can do is keep an eye on him . emily : ok . all right , thanks , lainey . lainey : hey , em , hold on a second . emily : yeah ? lainey : take a look at these . emily : ok . lainey : and look at the websites listed , get as much information as you can . and if sonny begins to manifest symptoms , then we definitely need to discuss getting him into treatment . sonny : you got more on your plate , jason , than you ever bargained for . and no matter how many people you surround yourself with , you 're still going to be alone , vulnerable , responsible , always looking ahead for the next set of circumstances that could evolve into a war , or a disagreement that could get you and everybody you love hurt or killed . jason : you know why i did it . you know you can have it all back . sonny : that 's not why i 'm here . i just wanted to let you know that i know more about this , you know , than anybody . i have a vested interest in your success because it keeps the jackals off emily and me . but , before you can protect anybody else , you have to learn how to keep sam safe . if they think they can come into your home , where you live , take what you love , then none of us stand a chance . now , i -- emily told me that alexis moved sam so she can be away from you . now she 's back ? what 's going on there ? jason : alexis brought her back so patrick and noah drake can treat her . she said she does n't want me anywhere near sam , which i already figured was coming . sonny : ok . you know how i feel about alexis and having to listen to her side , but i think she 's got a point . sonny : ok , sam is a target because of what you do for a living . that makes you the danger . does that sound familiar ? jason : i know what you 're getting at . i 've heard it from monica , alexis -- it 's not fair for me to demand that you give up emily if i refuse to give up sam . but i know all the ways that you could hurt emily . sonny : sam 's already hurt . you could n't protect her . what 's the real difference ? tracy : what took you so long ? luke : we were actually searching the grounds . robert : you were supposed to be helping . tracy : why would i help my husband look for holly ? robert : because she stole a cool million in jewels ? tracy : oh , please . those jewels are long gone , and so is holly . robert : i 'm afraid she 's right . luke : nope , you 're both wrong . but then , of course , how could you know that plan b is already in motion ? holly : excuse me , captain ? could you possibly fly any faster ? it 's just i 'm really anxious to get to our destination . anna : i 'm so sorry , holly , but there 's been a slight change of plans . holly : oh . carly : what is so wrong with wanting to love and protect a little boy ? i mean , that 's all we 're doing here . that 's all it 's ever been about . we 're not using john as a weapon , and we 're not depriving him of something that nikolas could give him . and considering what freaks the cassadines are -- like alexis and helena -- i bet you we 've even racked up credit as heroes on this one . jax : wow . you should 've been in p.r . , because you can put a positive spin on almost anything . carly : i 'm serious . hey , we love that little boy . and we 're crazy enough about each other not to ruin things by getting married . john is more than fine right here with us . jax : you know , whenever i think about how grateful i am for john , the very next thought on my mind is you . you 've really made all the difference , you know ?

[ scene_break ] luke : you 're looking at me like i just crawled out of the sewer . you 're always so quick to sit in judgment . are n't you , morgan ? at least i know what i am . you hide behind masks . the soulful gangster , the cold executioner , the grieving papa . except you were n't really a papa , were you ? you left that job to lucky 'cause you could n't be bothered . you lost nothing when jake died . carly : ok , luke , you 're going to have to go . luke : i 've appointed myself , since nobody else in this crappy town will call you out on your jaw - dropping hypocrisy , the guy to do it . let me ask you . what was jake 's favorite color ? what was his favorite bedtime story ? did he like cereal in the morning or pancakes ? you do n't know . you do n't have a clue . because you were just a glorified sperm donor . carly : knock it off , luke ! luke : what 's a matter , big man ? cat got your tongue ? do i need to loosen it for you ? [ scene_break ] robin : i learned my lesson a long time ago -- the hard way -- not to underestimate how crazy lisa can be . but probably in this instance , you were just late on a payment . patrick : ok , i know that i lost last month 's statement . but i was paid in full up to that point . robin : ok , well , i mean , worst case scenario , someone stole your credit card information . it does happen all the time . we make purchases online . you know , you never know when you 're on an unsecure site or someone like spinelli 's hacking in and finding someone 's bank record . patrick : why does this happen to me ? i am a busy man . i am a brain surgeon . i do n't have time to get on the phone , punch in 15 different numbers just to finally get somebody on the other end that 's going to ask me to confirm my purchases , cancel that card , and reissue me another one ! robin : oh , you poor baby . i realize this is a huge inconvenience , right ? you should be reconstructing someone 's brain , not holding on the line like some ordinary person . patrick : now you 're just making fun of me . robin : a little . i could take it up a notch if you want . patrick : so , um , what 's the rest of your day like today ? robin : i am working , and my time is as valuable as yours is . patrick : hmm . that 's not -- come on , babe . do me a favor . robin : what ? ! no ! patrick : call the credit company for me . why ? robin : no . even if i wanted to , which i do not , the credit card company has to speak to you . so why do n't you -- patrick : but you look so cute today . robin : thank you . get your cell phone out and make that call . [ patrick exhales ] [ scene_break ] lisa : kristina , when i first spoke with you , i could tell that you were under a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety . you did n't even need to say anything . it was completely obvious . i thought hydrocodone would help . i just assumed that you 'd be more responsible and you would n't abuse it . kristina : that 's not the point . i did n't know what i was taking ! lisa : you had your say , let me have mine . i could n't write you a prescription without your mother 's consent , and it did n't seem like you wanted her involved . so i just told a little white lie and said that the pills were herbal supplements . and then you just pretended and went along and believed me . kristina : i did n't pretend anything . you 're a doctor , i trusted you . lisa : kristina , you knew that they were pills . kristina : why is this so hard for you to get ? i did n't know what kind i was taking . but now that i think about it , when i went to order them online , i noticed that the pills did n't look the same . but you had an answer for that . you did n't even miss a beat . you went right into this whole story about how you ordered them from some medical supply company that only deals with doctors . lisa : yeah , well , that 's obviously fiction . kristina , you are a bright girl . you 're on the wait list for yale . you 're not easily duped . nobody can trick you into taking pills . you took them because you wanted to . right ? you went along with the euphemism because it 's easier that way . kristina : that is not true . i told you that i did n't want drugs . lisa : ok , all right , it 's no problem . it 's not a big deal . ok , from here on out , you can just deal with your stress on your own , ok ? [ scene_break ] johnny : i know you got a soft spot for kristina , all right , so do i. i still harbor for letting her talk me into pretending to date just to get a rise out of her father . ethan : well , i doubt kristina realized it would escalate to the point of planting a car bomb , but , you know . johnny : it 's true . i owe kristina for the trouble i helped put her through . ethan : great , then you wo n't have any problem shutting lisa down . johnny : why does it not surprise me still that lisa gets no slack from anybody ? ethan : lisa is trying to turn a teenage girl into a drug addict . and for the record , you give her more than enough slack to more than make up for the rest of us . johnny : all right , you 're not going to like what i 'm about to say . ethan : oh , great , yeah , that 's good . why stop now ? johnny : kristina 's a good kid , she is . but she also happens to be massively screwed up . which is no surprise because sonny 's her father . now i know people call me crazy for pointing out parallels to claudia everywhere i look , but i only call them out where i see them , where they exist . ethan : oh , come on , you 're not seriously comparing kristina to claudia ? johnny : my father was obsessed with me , so much that it drove my sister crazy . sonny thinks michael walks on water . kristina let herself get beat up by some preppy punk and then lied about it . ethan : come on , what 's the point ? johnny : the point is , kristina is not above lies and manipulation . you should know . her lies almost got you killed . ethan : what , that 's your grand conclusion ? is that kristina 's just flat out lying to my face about lisa giving her those pills ? [ scene_break ] carly : you want to take another swing at jason , you 're going to have to hit me first . luke : oh , god . you 're going to hide behind her ? what kind of a paper tiger are you ? well , maybe you wo n't defend yourself because there 's no defense against the truth . jason : you say i failed my kid , i did . but not as badly as you fail lucky every day . luke : lucky 's big mistake was picking up after your mess . now he grieves for a boy that should have been your responsibility ! carly : knock it off . you 're obviously on some kind of suicide mission . you are spiraling out of control . what the hell is wrong with you ? you know , if you want to spit in the faces of everyone who loves you by destroying yourself , go for it . go down in flames . but you are not going to use jason to do it . [ scene_break ] johnny : hi there . lisa : hey . i was intrigued by your call . johnny : [ chuckles ] were you ? lisa : is your father around ? johnny : no , he 's at the botanical gardens . something about the dutch lilly breeding efforts . lisa : oh , ok . johnny : you know , he was quite taken with you . lisa : yeah , i was afraid of that . johnny : he said i should buy you lots of lingerie . lisa : oh , oh , well , daddy knows best , so feel free . johnny : maybe i will . lisa : must be weird having him under foot . johnny : yeah , you know , he turns every place he goes into a looney bin . sometimes i 'd rather stick forks in my eyes . lisa : oh , well , i would not like that . so maybe you should just tell him to leave . johnny : believe me , i would love nothing more . but , i do n't know , there 's something to be said for keeping him where i can see him , you know ? it 's always nice to keep an eye on the truly insane . there 's no telling what they can do when left to their own devices , huh ? lisa : hmm . that 's an interesting choice of words . are you talking about your father ? or me ? johnny : i do n't know , you tell me , lisa . whatever happened to moving on with your life , huh ? [ scene_break ] robin : excuse me , should n't you be calling someone ? patrick : mm - hmm . i 'll get around to it . robin : ok . friendly reminder , we do not get a brand new hot tub if your account is frozen . patrick : well , in that case , i 'll devote the rest of my afternoon to it , because the idea of me and you soaking in the hot tub with a bottle of wine is worth the sacrifice . robin : aww . you know what , if we 're going to do the hot tub thing , why do n't we take it to the next level and re - landscape the whole backyard ? patrick : that 's what i 'm saying . if we just landscape everything around the hot tub , it 'll be perfect . robin : really ? patrick : yes ! robin : you sound excited about this . patrick : of course i am . you sound surprised . robin : well , i mean , you 're just not someone that would deny yourself something . why did n't you suggest a hot tub before ? patrick : in all honesty , i 'm glad i did n't . the fact that you 're taking the initiative on this makes me feel that you want to spend quality time with me and make our relationship our priority again . i like that . robin : i do . patrick : good . robin : in fact , i 'm going to call the installation place right now . patrick : perfect . robin : aww . i left my cell phone at home on a charger . [ scene_break ] alexis : hey . jax : you met with the family court judge ? alexis : i did . i went over there earlier . and we just did some basic stuff , so there was no reason for you to be there . in fact , it 's better if the two of you were n't there . let us handle the preliminary stuff . jax : ok , so what happened ? alexis : nothing much . i painted you as a concerned father who just wanted a fair and equitable custody arrangement . jax : i am . i just draw the line when it comes to josslyn 's safety . alexis : all right , well , this was n't the form for drawing lines . that 'll come later . look , everyone felt that it was reasonable for you to split josslyn 50/50 right now . you and carly can work that out any way you want . jax : ok , hold on , hold on just a second . i thought you understood . i thought you were going to make it clear to the judge that josslyn ca n't live with carly because it 's not safe there . alexis : and i thought you understood that without concrete evidence to support that , that 's going to be inflammatory and it 's groundless and it 's going to make you look bad to the court . is that what you want ? jax : it 's the truth . carly 's house is not safe for josslyn . [ scene_break ] carly : how dare you stand there and say those horrible things to jason . you should be begging his forgiveness . luke : think so ? wait for it . carly : i get that compassion 's really difficult for you , so let 's just start with respecting jason 's grief . luke : jason 's grief comes too late to respect . he knocked elizabeth up . then he left the result on lucky 's doorstep and went on his merry , murderous way . leaving my son with the soul sucking job of raising a kid that was n't his own . now suddenly when jake 's dead , suddenly he 's got a catastrophic loss ? i do n't think so ! carly : who the hell are you -- who the hell are you to stand there and judge ? you never raised your own kids . hell , you 're gone for months at a time . luke : you want to feel something ? i mean , really feel something ? how about gratitude , relief , joy , that the kid that you never gave a care about was able to give her imperfect daughter a spare part . carly : you pathetic son of a bitch . why do n't you go back to kelly 's and drown in a bottle . jason : let 's go , carly . i 'm not going to give you what you want . luke : what would that be ? jason : you want me to punish you . you want me to end this for you . everybody else can make excuses for you , luke . blame jake 's death on your alcoholism while they run around in circles trying to save your ass . you and i know the truth . and you 're going to have to live with that every day for the rest of your life . and i hope you live forever , because i want you to suffer . i 'm not going to be the one to put you out of your misery . [ scene_break ] ethan : thanks for waiting . kristina : yeah , i was happy to . it gives me another chance to thank you for telling me about the pills . and i keep thinking about what a close call i had . and i did n't even do anything to cause it . just goes to show that it 's dangerous to trust the wrong person . ethan : yeah , it can be . kristina : so how do you avoid it ? you trust no one ? ethan : yeah , that 's one answer , yeah . kristina : seems like a sad way to live . maybe there 's a middle ground . where you 're weary but not stupidly trusting . ethan : look , kristina , i need to ask you something . kristina : sure . ethan : and no matter what your answer is , i wo n't be mad or upset , so just be honest with me . kristina : of course . ethan : did you get those pills yourself ? maybe slipped them out of your mom 's medicine cabinet or copped them from a friend ? and maybe when i confronted you about it , did you panic and blame lisa like you panicked and blamed me the night kiefer beat you ? kristina : i 'm not lying about lisa . you have to believe me . [ scene_break ] johnny : maybe you 're not as over patrick as you say you are , huh ? lisa : why do you keep bringing up patrick ? johnny : as soon as you walk in the door , boom , he 's in the air . lisa : really ? 'cause not from anything that i 'm doing . johnny : uh - huh . lisa : why are you so insecure about patrick ? have n't i proven to you that i no longer want to be his doormat ? johnny : why do n't you prove it again ? huh ? lisa : ok . [ both chuckle ] lisa : how was that ? johnny : you 're a good kisser . lisa : but ... johnny : what , i 'm always a skeptic , you know that . i know how hard it is to get over somebody when things do n't work out . how difficult it is to get past that . lisa : hmm . well , nothing shatters a romantic illusion like turning your life inside out for someone who accuses you of killing a child . i could n't even believe what i was seeing . not only did patrick think that i actually hit jake webber and then i just kept on going . he was actually happy about it . like , he could finally prove to the world that i 'm some sort of monster . johnny : i remember the night that that happened very clearly . patrick came over here , read me the riot act about how i had set that whole series of events in motion that killed that poor kid . he practically knocked me out of my own couch . but i ca n't say he acted without provocation . lisa : ok , you know what , you did n't live through what i lived through . because it was n't enough that he painted me some evil , immoral attempted wife- murdering kidnapping home wrecker . no , he had to add baby killer to the list , too . when i had looked back and i think about how i groveled and i begged for him to just pay attention to me ; to love me , just to be nice to me ? and he treated me like dirt because of that judgmental prissy bitch of a wife . and when i look back at myself , it makes me physically ill . so you do n't need to worry about patrick because i hate the sight of him . [ scene_break ] carly : i ca n't believe luke said those awful things . i 'm so sorry . jason : do n't apologize for him . luke 's responsible for everything he says and does . nobody else is . carly : i know on some level what luke said got to you . it 's not true , jason . i know how hard it was for you to give up jake . i saw the pain in your eyes every time someone mentioned his name . luke 's a fool . jason : i have this dream ... about jake . it 's the same every time . i 'm showing him my bike . and he 's just asking me all these questions , he 's so happy . and he really wants to be on it , so ... i just lift him up . [ scene_break ] jax : ok , i want to hear options . how do we stop carly from taking josslyn home with her ? alexis : has she committed any crimes that i 'm not aware of ? jax : she aids and abets criminals every day , does that count ? alexis : can you prove it ? then it does n't count . jax : well , what about prior offenses ? like committing perjury to cover for murdering thugs . alexis : you 're starting to make me feel really uncomfortable , jax . working on an equitable and fair custody arrangement for you is one thing . trying to bar carly permanently from seeing her daughter , that 's another thing . jax : no , no , no . alexis : and if that 's your intention , you need to find yourself another lawyer . jax : no , that 's not what i 'm doing . alexis : then what are you doing ? jax : she can see josslyn whenever she wants to . she can spend an unlimited amount of time with her . she can move into the suite if she likes . she can get her own suite . what i wo n't have is josslyn exposed to criminals every day . i mean , you of all people , you should agree with me on this . you tried your hardest to keep kristina away from sonny . you did n't even tell sonny that she was his daughter until you had to . alexis : and you saw how that worked out . it did n't matter , jax . so if you want to bang your head against a wall , that 's up to you . but as your attorney , i have to tell you that the best you 're going to get is 50/50 right now and you to have to hear me . jax : yeah , right . and in the meantime , someone bombs carly 's house because jason 's in it . or takes a shot at sonny , who happens to be walking down the street with carly and josslyn . and josslyn ends up getting hit . i do n't have time for the justice system to do its job , alexis . josslyn is in danger right now . i mean , ca n't you explain to the judge that michael was shot standing next to sonny ? ca n't you argue that the same thing can happen to josslyn ? alexis : jax , you want me to go an ex - party , you want me to file a petition for emergency custody , i can do that . but they are going to turn around and they are going to slap you with parental alienation . and you are going to be the one that is without your daughter . is that what you want ? because you continue down this path , and this is going to blow up in your face ! [ scene_break ] carly : diane says i should go pick up josslyn . jason : i 'm happy to take you . carly : no , shawn 's on his way . jason : hmm . carly : you 've been through enough today . i do n't want you to have to deal with jax . [ knock on door ] shawn : hey . carly : hey . i just got a text from diane . the judge ruled 50/50 custody . until we resolve it in court . so we got ta go pick up josslyn . shawn : let 's do it . carly : ok . jason : shawn , let me know how that goes . shawn : yeah . carly : excuse me . shawn 's in place to protect me and josslyn , not to report back to you about my every move . jason : i made it clear when i hired shawn that that is a part of his job . shawn : yeah , about that . you 're going to have to trust me to be able to tell the difference between need to know and none of your business . [ scene_break ] kristina : i realize you have every reason to doubt me . and i 've told horrible lies about you . and i 'll always be sorry for that . but i 'm not lying . i did n't ask lisa for prescription meds and i did n't get them myself . no matter what she says , i had no idea i was taking anything other than herbal supplements . ethan : no matter what she says ? you 've spoken to her ? kristina : damn right ! after i talked to you , i called her up here and confronted her . ethan : what 'd she say ? kristina : she tried to twist everything around and making it seem like we were talking in some drug code , and that i knew all along that she was giving me hydrocodone . but it 's not true . ethan : ok . i believe you . sorry i ever questioned you . kristina : it 's ok . i understand . ethan : but you need to listen to me . lisa niles is not adorably screwy . she 's lethal , ok ? she can just as easily kill you as drug you . so i need you to stay away from her . do n't call her , do n't confront her . if she makes any move to contact you , you call me immediately , ok ? are we clear ? kristina : clear . thanks for believing in me . you have no idea how much this means . [ scene_break ] johnny : doc , you got a second ? patrick : for you , not really . johnny : it 's about lisa . i know you 're in the business of saving lives . think of this as my attempt to do the same thing . patrick : wow , this is a new tone for you , johnny . where is all the obnoxious behavior ? johnny : heh . i never really liked you , dr. drake . i mean , what is it , your wife was out of town one weekend , you were bit by the horn dog and saw lisa as an easy target ? honed in on her , hit it , quit it , and then ducked any responsibility of any damage you might have caused to her life or her psyche ? patrick : two things about that , johnny -- i do n't care what you think about me . second , it did n't happen that way . but go ahead . johnny : well , you were right . lisa is unbalanced , mentally and emotionally . this crossover to normalcy , this being interested in me ? it 's all an act . she 's just as obsessed with you as she ever was . patrick : well , i appreciate that . any particular reason ? johnny : i thought i 'd give you a head 's up . patrick : that 's kind of ironic . i said the same thing to you . johnny : now i 'm telling you .

sonny : i got to tell you , i was surprised when shawn balked at what 's going down tonight . look , i 'm not happy about going to the cops . sharing our information is not my thing . but jerome changed the rules when he ratted on us . he 's got to go ! he 's got to go . look , once shawn accepts that , then i think it 's gon na be better for everybody . duke : i think he accepts it , but , uh , at the very least , he understands it . sonny : but that 's not what was happening earlier . duke : i think shawn was using his argument as a smokescreen . sonny : what do you mean ? for what ? duke : his real concern about tonight . it 's tj 's mother . jordan : okay , shawn . you caught me . i 'm exactly what you thought i would be from the time i started working here . a dealer of art . that 's right . when i was on the phone just now when you barged in , i was with a client . shawn : i did n't barge in anywhere . door was open . this gallery is a public place . jordan : yeah , yeah , it is a gallery . i 'm so glad that you finally acknowledge that . but i get the sense that you 're -- you 're not here to buy art . so , aside from harassing me about drugs yet again , what do you want ? luke : you committed a mortal faux pas last night . you did n't congratulate me on my marriage . alexis : ohh . i 'm sorry . i did n't get the chance . but i did n't know that my well wishes meant so much to you . luke : of course they do . alexis : okay . so i give you a hug right here in the living room ?

are you itching for another sister ? lucas : absolutely . no , i think i got my hands full with you and carly . sam : yes . but you know what i did notice ? it seems like julian 's finally , like , you know , coming around with you . lucas : i know , right ? you heard that , too ? sam : yeah , he told you to bring a date . lucas : i know . without even tripping over the words . sam : i would say that that is definite progress . lucas : yeah . i just wish i could take him up on it . sam : no more brad , huh ? lucas : [ sighs ] after he turned out to be a liar who kept my cousin from her child , not so much . sam : i 'm so sorry . what are you doing , buddy ? lucas : oh , well . i guess i 'll just be a fifth wheel tonight . sam : no , you are not a fifth wheel . you 're family . it 's different . lucas : okay . i just wish there was somebody i could bring . sam : well , come on . brad is not the only prospect . there 's got to be somebody else you can invite . felix : okay , dr. mcmeany . out with it . silas : wait a minute . drake gets `` dreamboat , `` and i get `` mcmeany `` ?

silas : well , do n't sound so surprised . felix : no , it 's just that -- [ sighs ] you were with her last night . i know because she was doing that shakira thing all up in your grille . silas : yeah , she 's something else , is n't she ? felix : they all were . but did n't you go home with sam last night ? silas : forgetting i was in here at the crack of dawn . we have n't seen each other in almost ... 10 hours ? felix : that 's the sweetest thing i think i 've ever heard . you 're a lucky man , dr. clay , having that kind of romance in your life . silas : you do n't have to tell me , felix . felix : so , you still want me to move those out of the way ? silas : no . tell you what . you can put them front and center . tell anyone that asks they 're mine . let people around here know at least one person likes me . felix : roger that . alexis : i was n't aware that you and julian even knew each other . luke : jerome 's notorious . alexis : so are you . i 'm just not sure what you can tell me about him that i do n't already know . luke : is it serious between you two ? alexis : [ laughs ] i do n't know -- luke : because at the prince 's engagement party , you were keeping a pretty low profile , but last night , you walked the red carpet arm - in - arm . alexis : we were trying to be discreet . luke : and now ? alexis : and now i 've just thrown caution to the wind . luke : uh - huh . so you are serious . alexis : i -- no ! luke ! okay , we 're going steady . why do you care ? luke : because i 've known you a long time . alexis : okay . you do n't have to say how long . luke : and i care about you . alexis : i care about you , too . luke : and now that i 'm living the good life with tracy , i want everyone that i care about to be as happy as i am . alexis : oh . sweet . you do n't think i 'll be happy with julian ? luke : well , it 's a well - known fact that he 's in a war with corinthos . word on the street is that battle is escalating . i would hate to see you get caught in the crossfire . sonny : shawn mentioned that tj 's mother moved to town . duke : but did he also mention who 's signing her paycheck ? sonny : she -- well , she got a job at ava 's gallery as a manager or something . duke : `` or something . `` sonny : are you telling me that the job 's not legit ? duke : i ca n't be certain , but when i mentioned to shawn a couple weeks ago that the jeromes had moved in to a different kind of product , shawn got very nervous and upset . sonny : how does this connect to tj 's mother ? duke : it seems that jordan ashford has a history of drug trafficking . jordan : just spit it out , shawn . i have deals to make . shawn : just take a breath . jordan : i do n't have time . shawn : make time . this is serious . i need to talk to you . jordan : have n't we talked about it enough ? i mean , really , how many times are you gon na accuse me of being in the drug trade ? shawn : jordan , this is n't what you think -- jordan : no , i heard you , shawn , and so has tj , by the way . shawn : hey , look , i have never said anything to that kid . jordan : yeah , not directly . but you 're constantly taking shots at me in front of him , undermining me to my own son . i 've had it , okay ? do you understand ? of course you do n't . of course you do n't , because i 've asked you repeatedly to stop and drop it . shawn : asking ? try threatening me . swore to tell tj the truth about how his father died . jordan : no , no , no . you forced me into threatening because you were gon na tell him about my past . i was n't gon na let you do that . i was n't gon na let you hurt tj . shawn : i do n't want to hurt tj i want to protect him . that 's why i 'm here . look , jordan , i came to warn you . silas : hello ? sam : ooh . hey ! silas : hi . sam : hey , is everything okay ? silas : everything 's great . sam : i just -- i was n't expecting you for a while . silas : i decided to cut out early . where 's danny ? sam : i just put him down . silas : ah . late nap ? sam : actually , we had some visitors today . how come you left work ? silas : 'cause you missed me ? sam : oh , really ? silas : mm - hmm . really . sam : really ? what ? is the yearning for me just rolling off in waves ? you know what ? silas : what ? sam : i did miss you . silas : mm . i know . sam : [ chuckles ] how do you know ? we have n't even spoke today . silas : well , the flowers kind of said it all . sam : what ? silas : [ chuckles ] that 's how you want to play it ? the , um ... thank you . the flowers you sent me at the hospital -- they were beautiful . i mean , not as beautiful as you , but ... sam : silas . silas : yeah ? sam : [ clears throat ] i did n't send you any flowers . silas : you did n't send me flowers ? sam : as much as i would like to take credit for it , i 'm not really the flower sending type of gal . silas : i know . i did n't think you were , but then i kind of assumed because of the card that ... sam : the card ? wow . someone actually signed my name ? silas : no , no , but ... it seemed close . sam : `` i miss you . love , me . `` [ chuckles ] silas , who sent you these ? lucas : stopping to smell the roses ? felix : gloriosa lily . lucas : ah . of course . so , you 're not only a great nurse and a great dancer , but you also got the knowledge with the flowers going on . felix : mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh . do n't even . lucas : what ? felix : try to butter me up . lucas : i 'm just stating facts . felix : forget the facts . i want answers to questions like , `` what exactly were you doing last night at the ball ? `` lucas : [ chuckles ] you mean dancing and playing the drums and stripping and having a good time ? felix : do you call lying having a good time ? you told brad that we were dating . why ? lucas : he grabbed me and kissed me . what was i supposed to do ? felix : not that . lucas : well , i did n't want to go through another whole scene of him trying to explain himself again , and so i just thought the best way to nip it in the bud was to tell him i 'd moved on . felix : with me ? lucas : i probably should have run it by you first . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to put you on the spot , and -- and i should not have used you like that . felix : thank you . lucas : do you forgive me ? felix : hmm , i guess . it 's not the end of the world or anything . lucas : good . so , now that that 's settled , will you go out with me tonight ? sonny : shawn thinks this woman -- what 's her name ? duke : jordan . sonny : he thinks jordan is using her management position as a front and she 's really running drugs for jerome ? duke : well , shawn does n't know for a fact . sonny : did he confront her ? duke : multiple times , but she continues to deny it . sonny : okay , not well , apparently . now he 's afraid that if she 's involved , she 's gon na -- she 's gon na go down tonight , right ? duke : yes . sonny : so , tell me something . is -- is shawn and jordan ... you know what i mean ? duke : are they involved ? sonny : yeah . duke : no . i do n't think so . i think shawn 's primary concern is for tj 's welfare . i mean , tj has no idea about his mother 's history , shall we say . shawn does n't want the boy to get hurt . he has lost one parent , after all . sonny : well , now it makes sense why shawn did n't want , you know , want us teaming up with police . duke : well , i 'm worried , sonny . last time i saw shawn , he was pretty nervous . sonny : enough to put a wrench in tonight 's operation ? duke : i think he 's gon na warn jordan about the bust . jordan : oh , oh , so you 're trying to warn me . is that , like , some kind of threat ? shawn : no , i 'm not gon na do anything to you . jordan : then what do you want ? what is going on ? shawn : if you 'd let me talk for a second , i 'd tell you . jordan : fine . talk . shawn : look , jordan , something is about to go down , and i need you to -- julian : get the hell out of here , butler . shawn : easy . i did n't come here for you . i came to talk to jordan . can we go somewhere private ? jordan : shawn , i 'm working . shawn : all i 'm asking you is to talk to me . jordan : not in front of my boss , shawn . julian : well , unless you 'd like me to hear . go ahead . i 'm all ears . duke : well , with all due respect , shawn , i do n't work for you . you and i do n't answer to each other . we both work for sonny . if you tip jordan off , you 're going against the boss 's wishes . we both know what happens to anyone who crosses sonny . shawn : being loyal to this guy 's a huge mistake . it 's not too late to get out . jordan : that 's enough . julian : yeah , i think what the lady 's trying to say is she wants you to leave . shawn : do n't say i did n't try . julian : so , what was all that about ? jordan : i have no idea . alexis : that 's very sweet of you to worry about me . to be perfectly honest , i 've been worried , which is why i 've resisted . luke : but ? alexis : well , and now that you brought it up , we actually discussed it this morning . i asked julian if he would consider quitting the business . luke : what would he do ? alexis : he owns a media conglomerate . luke : and did he agree ? you can be very persuasive . alexis : he 's weighing the options . but he has a lot to live for now that he 's found his -- his kids . luke : and you . i hope he does consider this very carefully for your sake and for his offspring . because , you know , once you 're in that life , it 's difficult to walk away clean unless you 're the boss . and julian is n't . alexis : how do you know that ? luke : sonny told me . he let it slip out that julian answers to someone above him . my money 's on ric lansing . alexis : yeah , that 's what i thought , too , but it 's not him . he swore to it . luke : you believe him ? alexis : he swore on our daughter 's life . luke : and he 's never lied to you before ? did n't he sleep with sam while you were married ? alexis : all right . thanks for bringing that up . luke : all right . it 's just , uh ... whoever is wrangling julian is not gon na let him go without a fight . or worse , without retaliation . does n't that bother you ? alexis : yes , it does bother me immensely . but i trust julian , and i know that if he walks away from his boss , he will do it by diffusing any threats . luke : so , you know that , do you ? well , that 's typical . what does a guy have to do to get a drink around here ? i mean , i 'm still in party mode from last night . alexis : all right . so we 'll celebrate your nuptials . luke : great . alexis : you still drinking a shirley temple ? luke : yeah . sure . as long as it burns . [ footsteps approach ] alexis : i usually do n't hit the hard stuff this early in the morning , but for you , my friend , anything . luke : thank you . [ knock on door ] alexis : oh . hold that thought . hey , tj . tj : hey , miss davis . is molly home ? sam : you really do n't know who sent you flowers today ? silas : let 's see . it was n't you . sam : no . silas : and it was n't felix . sam : mnh - mnh . silas : so no , i have no idea . sam : well , whoever it was misses you and apparently loves you , too . silas : well , you know , when you put it that way , the possibilities are endless . sam : [ chuckles ] ava ! ava ! come on . she 's made it crystal clear that she 's not over you 20 years later . 20 years ! silas : little bit of jealousy . sam : i am not jealous . okay , maybe i 'm just -- maybe i 'm a little bit jealous . silas : of what ? sam : i do n't know . the endless possibilities . silas : all that ends right here . the only one i want is you . sam : mmm . silas : but you know that already . felix : you 're asking me out ? lucas : yes . felix : why ? lucas : why not ? felix : does this have anything to do with brad ? lucas : no , this has to do with my father . felix : okay , i do n't know what sounds weirder . lucas : okay , my dad called an impromptu family gathering , and he asked me to invite a date , which , if you knew my father , you would know is a very , very big deal . felix : and you want to bring me ? lucas : well , i would ask magic milo , but he bats for the other team . felix : hmm . lucas : come on . it 's gon na be at my aunt 's art gallery . the food 's probably gon na be amazing . felix : i do n't know . lucas : well , my dad has a big secret he 's gon na tell us all . felix : really ? lucas : yeah . hand to god . that 's why he 's calling us all together . felix : secret about what ? lucas : i have no idea . he would n't even give us a hint . but it 's gon na be fun , maybe even dramatic . felix : hmm . i do love drama . lucas : please ? give me a chance to make up for last night by actually taking you out on a real date . what do you say ? sonny : you saying that shawn would go against me , tip off somebody that was working for jerome ? duke : for tj 's sake , i think anything 's possible . imagine if it was michael or morgan or kristina . tj is shawn 's top priority . sonny : well , i understand that , but everyone 's at risk if jerome stays in control . duke : well , that 's precisely the point i tried to make . i told shawn it would be a terrible mistake if he blew this plan sky high . sonny : he did n't listen ? duke : oh , he listened , all right . but as for what he 's gon na do , well , there are no guarantees . [ knock on door ] sonny : come on in . we were just talking about you . shawn : is that right ? sonny : i really wish you would have told me about tj 's mom . jordan : shawn knows that i did some time for trafficking , and he never misses an opportunity to remind me , either . julian : so i take it , uh , shawn 's not a fan of you working here . jordan : no . no . but it 's okay , you know . i 've covered my bases . denied having anything to do with your business . as far as shawn can prove , i 'm just a gallery manager . julian : well , as far as he can prove , sure . but he still suspects . jordan : let him . shawn has nothing on me . no one does . julian : you 're positive ? jordan : yes . nothing 's gon na get in the way of the goods coming in tonight . oh , and speaking of , are you ready ? 'cause we should get to the pier . julian : well , you do what you have to do . i 'm not coming . jordan : oh , so i 'll just meet you over at the warehouse , then . julian : no . means i 'm not part of this deal at all . jordan : since when ? julian : couple hours ago . jordan : but you did all the leg work . you made all the connections . i mean , this is your baby . julian : not anymore . i 'm done . i told our boss i quit . alexis : molly 's at a study group . tj : duh . it 's thursday . i totally forgot . i guess i 'm just a little distracted . alexis : oh . by what ? tj : about my new car .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i do n't know why you 're looking at me . sam : well , i mean , ric is your ex . elizabeth : oh , so you think ric is the one who gave hayden this supposed information about jake ? sam : i think ric is the one who brought hayden to port charles to begin with . he hired her to play jake 's wife , supplied her with false documentation to prove that they had a history together . yeah , i think ric knew the truth the whole time he was pulling off this hoax . elizabeth : why would he go through all the trouble of creating a whole new life for jake if ric knew who he was all along ? jake : he could just supply me with the real thing . sam : okay , all right . so maybe it was n't ric . hayden said that someone else knew who you really are . maybe she found out the truth from them . [ scene_break ] nikolas : hayden is privy to some rather inconvenient information . she needs to be silenced . the only reason i allowed her to leave here is because you assured me that she would be . man : she 's gone . i promise , hayden barnes is out of the picture . [ scene_break ] julian : where 's my son ? epiphany : who ? julian : olivia falconeri 's baby . where is he ? epiphany : i can not give out patient information unless you 're immediate family . julian : were n't you listening ? i just said that olivia falconeri 's baby is mine . epiphany : not according to our records . that boy 's father is listed as ned ashton . if you have any questions about that baby , you need to speak to mr. ashton or miss falconeri . julian : mm . and do you see them anywhere ? epiphany : i just came on shift . and just so we 're clear , my job is not to deal with your personal issues . my job is to take care of those little patients in there , and you are causing a disruption . julian : ned and olivia have been keeping that baby 's paternity from me from the start , so i just want to find my son , okay ? epiphany : not my problem . julian : i 'm sure they 're off somewhere concocting a story to keep my son away from me . ned : we 're right here , julian . julian : what have you done with my boy ?

[ chuckles ] like an idiot , i fell for it . jordan : so it 's all about you , then , is it ? hmm ? what happened to you , how you were wronged . i think the real victim here today is hayden barnes . let 's not forget that you were going to murder jake doe , but instead , you shot an innocent woman . [ scene_break ] nikolas : thought you were out with your family . valerie : we had to cut dinner short . josslyn had a meltdown , something about corn futures . sorry to barge in . i think i left my book in here . there it is . i 'm gon na go back to my room so you can continue your conversation . nikolas : no , no , no , it 's okay . we were just finishing up . we understand each other , right ? man : yes , mr. cassadine . i 'll get you the information you need . nikolas : you do that . you know the way out . man : goodbye . valerie : sorry . did n't mean to interrupt . nikolas : no , no need to apologize . i told you to make yourself at home . valerie : you do n't have to be so polite . i know there is more to be said . nikolas : really ? what gives you that impression ? valerie : i could n't help overhearing as i walked in , something about hayden being out of the picture ? [ scene_break ] sam : okay , fine . let 's eliminate ric for the moment . who else could have told hayden about your past ? jake : i have no idea . elizabeth : i still say hayden 's a liar . there 's no reason to believe she knows who you are . jake : why 'd she come back ? sam : well , i think that she wanted to make amends . i think that she felt guilty for lying to you about your past , and she wanted you to know the truth . what i do n't understand is why she would say the truth would affect me . elizabeth : okay , you know , conspiracy theories have never been my forte . i 'm gon na get an update on hayden 's condition . jake : how is she ? patrick : her condition 's critical , but stable for the moment . we 're transferring her to the or . jake : are you gon na operate on her ? patrick : well , somebody 's got to take the bullet out of her , and i 'm the best surgeon we have . jake : thanks for the help . patrick : you want to thank me , jake , you stay away from people that i care about , especially sam . sam : hey , patrick . patrick : what ? no , i 'm sure he started shielding you once the shooting started , but if he wanted to protect you , he would keep his distance . sam : it was n't his fault . patrick : sam , nobody forced him to take that job with your dad . he asked you for that job . did n't he say that he wanted to go legit ? sure looks like he got different plans . you know , jake , elizabeth and sam , they keep telling me that you 're a decent guy . why do n't you prove it ? stay away from innocent bystanders . jake : can i see hayden now ? patrick : if it was up to me , i 'd say no , but she 's asking for you . apparently , she has something to tell you . [ scene_break ] sonny : shawn 's been arrested . ric 's on his way to the station to deal with it . carly : did shawn get arrested for going after jake ? sonny : there was a shooting . carly : sonny , damn it . is jake alive ? sonny : someone took a bullet . do n't worry , carly . it was n't jake . [ scene_break ] jordan : i do n't blame you for being angry , but i expect you to kind of own up to your own choices . you did n't get here by accident . you did n't wake up one day working for sonny corinthos . you chose this life . accept the consequences . shawn : i 'm ready . are you ? jordan : what are you talking about ? shawn : you know , you 're so eager to make the collar , nothing else mattered . or did you consider what finding out about your deception would do to tj ? jordan : i think that my son would be happy to know that i 'm not a criminal , that i 've been upholding the law all along . shawn : oh , do n't be too sure about that . see , tj might have a different definition of loyalty than you do . he might think that you informing on me and duke is n't so noble , after all . jordan : duke ? you mean the man that tried to have me killed ? shawn : what are you talking about ? jordan : that was n't a low - level jerome soldier that i shot that night of the nurses ' ball . that was -- that was bruce . shawn : bruce tried to kill you ? jordan : yeah . i mean , he must have been waiting outside my apartment . and as soon as you left , he came in , fired three rounds right where i was supposed to be sleeping , and that was on duke 's order . and duke , he was n't gon na tell you ... that he wanted me killed . he wanted you to believe that it was the jeromes , and that little generous offer that he had to pay for tj 's tuition ? that was blood money to ease his conscience for trying to kill me , and that was the man that you work for , shawn . shawn : are you finished , officer ? because i 've got nothing else to say to you . jordan : he 's all yours .

[ scene_break ] carly : shawn shot hayden ? god , is she dead ? sonny : ric does n't know her condition . carly : okay , you know what happened , sonny . shawn was following your orders trying to kill jake , and for some reason , he missed , and he hit hayden . unless jake was shot , too . sonny : ric did n't say anything , so i would assume that jake is still alive . carly : thank god . sonny : yeah , i mean , it 's a lot better that an innocent woman caught a bullet than that bastard who killed duke . carly : okay , were there any witnesses ? i mean , what kind of evidence do the police have ? sonny : ric 's on his way to the station . he 'll give me an update . but it 's a possibility that the cops are just bluffing . they do n't have enough proof that shawn is responsible for shooting hayden . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i was just having a meeting with my new head of security . valerie : a meeting about hayden ? nikolas : undesirables in general . after my conversation with you and lulu , i decided it was time for hayden to go . valerie : really ? i thought you two were old friends . nikolas : acquaintances that had a brief affair , but i was beholden to hayden , so i let her stay . history aside , she deceived elizabeth , and i just ca n't abide by that . elizabeth is my friend . you put her up against hayden , elizabeth wins every time .

[ scene_break ] ric : i am so sorry , my beautiful bride , but i am afraid that i have to go to the police station . franco : great . get out . nina : why do you have to go ? ric : just some legal problems with my brother . i -- i kind of do n't want to leave you in the lurch , you know ... so soon after we said our vows . nina : oh . do n't worry about that . ric : no ? nina : no , go to your brother . go to your brother , my dove . my dove . i hardly know sonny , and everything i 've heard about his -- you know , is from a biased source . i 'd really love to get together , the four of us . you , me , sonny , carly ? ric : right ? nina : for brunch . ric : brunch ! nina : that 'd be super fun . ric : oh , that 'd be awesome . nina : yeah . ric : thank you . ah , thank you for being so understanding . and thank you for that painting . franco : you are very welcome . come on , let 's go . we -- we -- we should go before he figures out that sonny 's a lost cause . nina : go where ? franco : go and find my father and get this sham of a marriage annulled . [ scene_break ] carly : promise me you 're not gon na send someone else after jake . sonny : why would i promise that ? carly : because shawn , who works for you , was just arrested for shooting an innocent woman , probably while he was trying to kill jake . which means the cops are going to know that you want jake dead , which means you will be their prime suspect . sonny : so , you 're worried about me ? carly : of course ! what the hell ? of course , i am . have you not heard a word i 've said ? sonny : all i hear out of your mouth is `` jake , jake , jake . `` you 're doing back flips , coming up with reasons for me not to kill him . carly : okay , yeah , you 're right . if i had it my way , jake would n't die , and you would n't go to prison . unless it 's already too late , and shawn 's giving you up to the cops right now . sonny : shawn -- shawn would never rat on me . carly : okay , sonny . maybe shawn 's as loyal as you say . but if you go after jake , the cops will be coming for you . and this time , there wo n't be a governor waiting with a pardon .

[ door closes ] ned : but not until we finish this discussion . tracy : what discussion ? all i heard was judgment . ned : mother , i ca n't believe you even entertained the idea of keeping a child that was n't rightfully yours . tracy : [ laughs ] this coming from a man who was willing to claim olivia falconeri 's child as his own . ned : my point being that i know what it 's like to invest emotionally in a child that is not your own . i 'm just glad that you did n't become too attached to this child before it -- he was taken away . it 's a painful road to go down . tracy : thank you for that life lesson . you know what 's remarkable ? i have two sons . they 're both my second favorite . ned : we 'll talk later . tracy : hi . it 's tracy quartermaine . i 'm sorry i had to hang up earlier . my sons walked in the room . but they 're gone now , so ... let 's move .

[ scene_break ] dante : michael , i think we got something . yeah , so , we ca n't locate an `` inocencia santos , `` but a certain inocencia leon traveled from san juan to port charles two day ago and then back to san juan last night . michael : that 's her . so , what do we do next ? dante : well , we 've notified local authorities in san juan and the fbi field office . they 'll bring her in for questioning . michael : the feds ? michael : she crossed state lines . dante : exactly . michael : okay , well , finally we 're getting somewhere . dante : you know what , man ? this might take a little while . why do n't you , uh , go spend some time with the little guy ? michael : uh ... actually , they just took him away . until this whole thing 's resolved , they 're placing him in long - term foster care . [ scene_break ] tracy : oh , i am so pleased . oh , all this worked out perfectly . [ sighing ] oh . you did an excellent job cutting through all the red tape with social services . i thought it would take at least a couple of days getting me certified in the foster - care program , certainly not overnight . leah : the circumstances are a bit unusual , but since my superiors know you so well , they wanted to expedite the process . tracy : well , your superiors showed excellent judgment . there is nobody better to take care of this baby than me . he 'll be in comfort and safety while the authorities determine the whereabouts of his mother . you know , she and i were great friends . leah : before i go , ms. quartermaine , i need to do some quick follow - up , and then i can officially sign the child over to your care . tracy : by all means . why do n't you go upstairs and check out the nursery ? introduce yourself to the baby nurse . leah : baby nurse ? tracy : yeah . you can ask her anything you like . leah : you seem to have thought of everything . tracy : i always do . oh , leah . does michael know where the baby is ? leah : my superiors instructed me to avoid the question , but i know mr. corinthos plans on following up with me soon . he 'll want details . tracy : well , now that all the legalities are taken care of and the baby is here with me , i 'll take care of my nephew and anybody else who 's interested . do n't you worry , little edward . you 've got me looking out for you . [ scene_break ] monica : okay , we are reviewing the cases of mr. owen ellis and mrs. ruth jenkins , both patients of dr. finn , and both died while under his care . dr. obrecht : let us be clear . they both died under mysterious circumstances . monica : according to you , dr. obrecht . dr. obrecht : dr. finn was seen with mr. ellis shortly before his death . he was actually present when mrs. jenkins expired . finn : it is not uncommon for a doctor to be with his patient before , during , and immediately after death . in fact , if memory serves , dr. obrecht , you were first on the scene when mr. ellis died . dr. obrecht : it is not my actions or integrity in question . finn : oh , not today , but given your history and criminal record -- dr. obrecht : how dare you ? monica : okay . okey - dokey . we are getting off track here . now , we have all reviewed dr. finn 's notes and his notes on the patients ' medical histories . now , the official cause of death is consistent with his documentation . dr. obrecht : mrs. jenkins ' body is still in the morgue . a more extensive autopsy could still be ordered and performed , one that could perhaps reveal a very different cause of death . finn : are you implying that i 'm criminal or just negligent ? dr. obrecht : i imply nothing . i am simply stating those things as provable fact . finn : you know , i realize that your perception is distorted because you think i 'm the reason you lost your job , but let 's get real here . it 's a job that you never should have had in the first place ! monica : okay . all right . i have reached a decision .

[ scene_break ] ava : hello , morgan . morgan : ava ? why are you here ? ava : i 'm here to see how you 're doing . morgan : really ? ava : really . my concern ca n't be that much of a shock . after all , i did bring kiki to see you that day . morgan : i remember . thank you . she 's coming today . did you know that ? ava : yes . i do know that . so , how are things going ? morgan : uh , i 'm good . i 've come a long way , still got a long way to go . ava : still , though , it 's wonderful that you 're making progress . morgan : why are you here , ava ? ava : well ... morgan , you and i have been ... almost everything to each other , good and bad , since the day we first met . morgan : i remember . ava : yes , well , i 'm sure that each of us , maybe for our own reasons , was kind of hoping that we 'd never have to see each other again . but kiki loves you . and i will always be concerned about you on a whole other level . morgan : feeling as close to myself as -- as i can , um , without all the crazy , so ... ava : you sound positive , optimistic , even . morgan : well , i 'm just hoping the doctors let me out very soon . ava : soon ? morgan : soon - ish . ava : oh . that sounds great . congratulations . morgan : [ chuckles ] thank you . ava : morgan , i , um -- i am truly glad that you 're feeling better , because i think , finally , you can hear something that i 've needed to tell you for some time . [ scene_break ] monica : dr. finn , this meeting was called because thanks to dr. obrecht being so helpful , policy requires it under the circumstances . now , i see no indication of any malpractice whatsoever , and there 's no reason that i can see that further autopsy should be performed . dr. obrecht : you are indulging your personal bias at the risk of patient lives . monica : okay . you done ? dr. obrecht : time will tell . monica : all those in favor of my findings , raise your right hand . all dissenting . well , three to one . dr. finn , thank you very much for coming to this needless but sadly required review . i just want you to know that my confidence in you is unwavering and always will be . and thank you . and the meeting is adjourned . finn : [ sniffs ] you know , there 's a part of me that is almost glad that you did this , because you seem to have cemented your reputation as being a complete lunatic more than causing any pain to me . now , about this moving forward -- just ... stay clear of me . dr. obrecht : and you will do the same ? finn : no , i did n't say that . just stay clear of me . dr. obrecht : you know , dr. finn , i am not like dr. quartermaine or the rest of the staff -- myopic and oblivious . i watch things . i study people . and i know this much -- you are hiding something from everyone . i will get to the bottom of what is going on . finn : knock yourself out , lady .

[ scene_break ] carly : i am so sorry that you feel like i abandoned you . and i 'm so sorry that i was n't here when you woke up , but i never once gave up hope that you were going to come back to us , not once . and look at you . you 're my handsome little baby . and you are , whether you like it or not , you 're my baby . and you come second to no one , michael , second to no one . michael : then why did you let jax take you away ? why were n't you here when i woke up ?

[ scene_break ] sam : how did michael seem to you ? jason : scared , confused , a little disconnected . sam : now , do you remember what it was like for you ? jason : yeah , i was overwhelmed . and so is michael . i can see it . everybody walks in with these expectations . it 's going to be impossible for him to meet any type of expectations at this point . he does n't even know what happened to him . the only thing he knows is that everything has changed around him . sam : yeah , it 's a lot to absorb . jason : yeah , yeah , it is . and sonny -- you know , i know that he loves michael , but he 's so eaten up with guilt right now , i just think he 's going to make things worse . sam : all right , speaking of sonny , has he told michael about claudia or the baby or marriage -- jason : no , nothing , not yet . sam : that 's great . he 's going to have to do that sometime . jason : he wants to tell michael about the shooting first . and i do n't think that 's going to help michael at all .

[ scene_break ] luke : so you want me to use my wife 's money to buy the truth about this boy 's paternity . english , you 're a laugh riot . holly : i did my research . she can afford it . ethan : oh , i get it . you want tracy so broke and pissed off that she 'll kick this cad to the curb . holly : smart boy . he reminds me of you . patrick : well , that 's it . i do n't need a dna test to prove that you guys are family . it 's obvious -- you 're all crazy . luke , congratulations -- it 's a boy . now , i 'm going upstairs to kiss my daughter , call my wife , and celebrate the ordinary joys of domesticity . and i never thought i 'd say that before . enjoy . luke : so your perfect scam here is that you and i take tracy 's money and we ride off into the sunset , together . and what about artful dodger ? we leave him here ? holly : is that a trick question ? luke : the question is , are the three of us related ? [ scene_break ] sam : well , you 've got to love sonny . it 's not enough that michael came out of the coma , that he 's got to make it all about himself and his own guilt . this kid needs a father who 's going to be solid right now , caring and compassionate , not someone who 's going to unload all over him . jason : sonny wants to tell michael the truth . he does n't want to lie . sam : okay , and the last thing that sonny thinks that he deserves is a kid that 's going to worship him . come on , do n't look at me like that . we both know it 's true . it 's very twisted . jason : okay , michael -- he wants to know what happened . i think we should tell him the truth . i just think it 's too soon to say anything . sam : yeah , but the question is , how much can michael actually handle , and what are the chances that he can relapse and go back into a coma ? [ scene_break ] carly : michael thinks that i gave up on him . jax : well , that 's funny , because you 're the only one who did n't . carly : he thinks we left the hospital to focus on the new baby and just forget about him . jax : you know that 's not true . look , when we left the room today , we had every reason to believe that he was n't going to wake up . carly : i knew better , jax . in my heart , i knew it , i knew it . [ carly sighs ] jax : well , then , i 'm the one who should feel bad , because i 'm the one who dragged you away from his bedside . look , we 'll explain it to michael , and he will understand why you were n't there when he woke up . just give him time , okay ? just give it time . carly : when he woke up , he must have been so scared and confused . can you just imagine ? i have to go back to the hospital . jax : no , no , no , you 've been through enough for one day , and so has michael -- carly : i have to go back to the hospital . i can not let michael go to bed thinking that i have abandoned him . i have to make sure that he knows how much i love him . [ scene_break ] sonny : it was supposed to be me . it should have been me . patrick did everything he could , but -- michael : i thought you said the surgery worked . sonny : it did , but this -- this was n't the first time . michael : how long ago was i shot ? sonny : a long time ago . you know , it was more than a year . you were in a coma . we did everything we could . we prayed for you . we hoped for the best . the doctors said you did n't have a chance . michael : a year ? that 's why i 'm so weak . i 've been in bed for more than a year . sonny : i 'm sorry , buddy . it was my -- i should have never -- i should have never had you come to that warehouse . i 'm your father , you know , and i put you at risk . if there 's one thing that i wanted to do right in my life -- i was supposed to do better . michael : you could n't have known . sonny : your mother would n't have let you come to that warehouse . i ignored the danger . i was supposed to protect you , and i failed . michael : stuff happens . sonny : stuff happens ? this is not `` stuff , `` buddy . we 're talking about your life . i almost lost you . you get that ? i am so sorry . michael : you do n't have to keep saying that . sonny : i ca n't say it enough . sonny : you are the most precious thing in my life . sonny : i do n't even have the right to ask your forgiveness .

[ scene_break ] sam : i 'm sorry . i 'm really -- really , really , i am sorry . you have enough on your mind , so many things to deal with . i should n't have said that . i 'm bringing you down . i 'm sure michael 's going to be fine . jason : well , nobody knows for sure . but patrick was confident about the procedure . he just , you know , told us to take it easy on michael . sam : okay , so then , why are n't you at the hospital running interference right now ? jason : there 's nothing i can do . sonny 's drowning in guilt . carly 's tearing herself apart . i said what i had to say . i 'm just going to try to stay out of this . sam : i do n't -- i do n't believe that . jason : i 'm not michael 's father .

carly : okay , look , you made a really tough choice at a different time in your life . you did n't even know dante then . lulu : i know , but he could still have a bad reaction . i mean , you should have heard him talking about this girl in the park , and how brave she was for sticking it out and becoming a mother at such a young age , just like his mother did . carly : come on , dante 's not going to judge you for that . i 'm sure he 's done some things in his past you can question ; choices he 's made . lulu : it 's not like this . this is a big one . carly : dante loves you , okay ? that 's not going to change just because he finds out you had an abortion . lulu : i just ... i think when he finds out that i made that choice to end my pregnancy , even if he intellectually understands the reasons ... he 's not going to look at me the same .

[ scene_break ] carly : do you really believe that dante 's going to judge you based on the choices his mother made ? i mean , everyone 's situation is different . olivia 's was totally different than yours . lulu : yeah , but when dante 's around kids , it 's like this knee - jerk reaction for him to talk about how brave his mother was for that sacrifice . his family is seriously catholic . carly : okay , all right , but it 's also possible for people to feel very strongly about something and not want to impose it on other people . lulu : i was not ready to bring a kid into the world , and i made the choice that was best for me at the time .

[ scene_break ] carly : dante 's just like sonny , if you think about it . he talks a big game about how he loves and protects everyone in his life , when in reality , he just puts himself first . i mean , he played the concerned big brother with morgan when all he wanted was morgan to tell him michael 's location . and now morgan blames himself for what happened to michael . spinelli : when all he was really guilty of was trusting his duplicitous sibling . carly : that 's right . and dante promised to protect michael . and what did he do ? he marched into court and he threw him under the bus the first chance he got . dante is a user and a manipulator . and he 's probably a womanizer , too , just like sonny . sonny : and the original blonde one has fallen for his evil spell and mistaken it for love . carly : yes , yes . like i said , dante 's just like sonny , and sonny has been doing it for years . i mean , they draw women in . they offer them the world , and then they pull the rug out the second the next piece comes along . i mean , it 's only a matter of time before dante does it to lulu . spinelli : well then , we have to stop him before he breaks the original blonde one 's heart ! carly : yes , we do , we do ! but i need the jackal to come out of his funk to help -- you know , that 's unless you do n't feel comfortable with this . spinelli : say no more , valkyrie . the jackal will not rest until dante the betrayer has been revealed as the duplicitous plebe he is ! the assassin of cyberspace has been officially released . prepare , dante falconeri , to feel my wrath .

[ scene_break ] jason : it is true that when brenda agreed to marry you she did n't have a son to think about . sonny : yeah , yeah . i never wanted another child . i mean , watching michael , morgan , kristina suffer because of the life that i chose , i mean , it 's ... i mean , you know , right ? that 's why you gave up jake to let lucky raise him . if you had to do it over again , would you do it differently ? jason : i regret the time that i did n't get to spend with jake . but you know what , i ca n't answer that because elizabeth never wanted this life , and i was n't gon na force it on her . it would n't have been fair . sonny : i 've got to be honest with you here . even before we found out about brenda 's son , i had my doubts whether she could live with guards and rules . you know , looking back , that 's why i left her at the altar . you know i did n't do it because i did n't love her . i did it because she would never give me up , so i had to help her . and i thought this time we could really make it work , but a child changes everything . i ca n't guarantee that i can keep her son safe . so maybe the best thing for me to do is to just go to her , as hard as that would be , and just say to her , hey , for your son 's sake ... for your son 's sake , maybe you should just -- we should n't be together . jason : can you live with that ? sonny : i do n't know .

sam : okay . thanks for waiting . danny 's down for the count . rafe is with his counselor . catch me up . what 's going on ? spinelli : well , my quest to find the missing quartermaine heir has hit a rough patch , so to speak . sam : how rough ? spinelli : i failed .

[ keys rattling , door unlocks ] luke : i thought we were having a moment , so i went with it . tracy : a moment or a diversion ? luke : come again ? tracy : let 's see -- one minute , we were talking about your drinking non- problem , and the next minute , you were ambushing me . luke : my kiss felt like an ambush ? i think i 'm hurt . tracy : quit stalling . answer the question . luke : would i divert a conversation away from me and alcohol ? yes , any day of the week . why ? because , `` a , `` as you just said , it 's a non - problem , and , `` b , `` because i 'm sick to death of it ! but that 's not why i kissed you . tracy : no ? luke : no . tracy : by all means -- enlighten me . scott : are you a rabbi ? lesley : recently , i was ordained online so i could marry two dear friends . laura : i did n't know that . scott : well , you 're full of surprises . lesley : you remember that . laura : what kind of ceremony did you perform ? lesley : uh , actually , it was based upon ... wiccan teachings . scott : wiccan ? like in witches ? lesley : like in wiccan . laura : uh , are you really able to marry us ? lesley : yes . laura : really ? are you willing ? lesley : well , i figure if i 'm going to accept him as your husband , i might as well go the extra step and make him your husband . right ? scott : ah ! okay . well , then , let 's get married . lesley : so , we 're gon na do it , huh ? scott : let 's do it . laura : oh , that 's fantastic . spinelli : quite convincing , this fake mystery heiress . she played hard - to - get at first , until i pulled the `` truth `` out of her . sam : how long did she let you go on ? spinelli : long enough to explain the whole story . sam : really ? well , if it was n't the real lauren frank , who was it ? spinelli : some struggling actress . luke called in a favor and convinced her to send me down the wrong path . sam : no , this is a good thing . that means the real lauren is out there somewhere . spinelli : yeah , as elusive as ever . ava : what do you mean gone ? is morgan all right ? kiki : he 's fine . those lowlifes came looking for him , the ones that he was hiding from . ava : they came looking for him here , in our home ? kiki : yes . relax ! everything 's fine now , okay ? ava : lauren katherine jerome , collectors for a bookie showing up at our home is not fine ! it is totally unacceptable . kiki : it only got worse . ava : morgan did n't have the money he owed them . kiki : and they were n't too happy about it . actually , morgan 's brother found him on the floor . ava : oh , my god . kiki : and he had to take him to the hospital . ava : how badly was he hurt ? kiki : he just had a few bruised ribs , okay ? that 's all . ava : oh ! oh , well . if that 's all ... kiki : you know , i came up with this brilliant plan for him to get all of his money back , and morgan was completely on board with it ... ava : but ? kiki : but his obnoxious brother was n't . he was a complete downer . you know what ? that brother , michael , he would n't know adventure if it bit him in the butt . ava : [ chuckles ] okay . so ... everything got ruined . and then what ? this -- this michael , he took morgan home ? kiki : no , his father did . ava : oh . well , you know what ? i 'm relieved , actually . i told morgan to have his parents help him . he was adamant about them not being involved . kiki : yeah , well , it was n't exactly morgan 's choice , okay ? his dad practically dragged him out by the ear . sonny : here he is -- the prodigal son . carly : you 're okay ? morgan : uh , yeah , i was . watch the ribs . carly : i ca n't believe what those animals did to you . morgan : mom , can you stop ? i 'm fine , seriously . carly : are you sure ? morgan : yeah . never better . carly : positive ? 100 % ? morgan : do n't i look it ? carly : yes . and now that i know you 're gon na live , i 'm gon na kill you myself . guard : you have one hour . heather : so ... todd look - alike : so ... heather : it 's you . todd look - alike : it 's me . heather : long time no see . i was living with pain -- all over . carly : do you have any idea how worried we were -- how absolutely terrified ? morgan : i 'm sorry . carly : no . sorry does n't cut it . i mean , seriously , i do n't even know where to begin with you . sonny : you can start with the gambling . carly : that gambling . yes , thank you ! the gambling . huge -- huge amounts of money ! what were you thinking ? then you take off for new york city , all without even letting your parents know ? i mean , my god -- when i think about what could have happened to you ... morgan : oh , mom , come on . stop . carly : stop ? i 'm not gon na stop . things happen , morgan . terrible things happen . events spiral out of control , and lives are changed . do n't tell me to stop . and let me tell you something . the second -- the second -- you knew you were in trouble , you should have called us . morgan : i know ! carly : your father and i would have helped you . then why did n't you ? ! morgan : because i just wanted to handle it on my own . sonny : in case you had n't noticed , i just bailed you out . morgan : yeah , okay . and you did n't have to because i was working on a plan . michael : your plan was toast , morgan . if dad did n't show up , you could have been killed , along with your mastermind girlfriend . ava : can you really blame the man for being upset ? kiki : i would not call it upset . i do n't even know how to describe it , okay ? he was ... he was very quiet and very calm but very terrifying . i can see why morgan did n't want him to get involved . this is not a parent that you would want to get in trouble with . ava : well ... better his dad than those debt collectors . kiki : just leave it to my boyfriend to get dragged off by his dad all the way home . and he lives in port charles . ava : port charles , new york ?

[ chuckles ] i believe the words `` doddering old coot `` were used . tracy : and what do you care about being alone , luke ? all the better to vanish on a moment 's notice . luke : well ... you know , once that 's over , it would be nice to have someone to come back to , someone to share the rest of it with . tracy : what do you want from me , luke ? luke : i want ... i want you to be ... my home fires burning in the distance , i guess . i want you to be my true north . that 's what i want . carly : girlfriend ? okay , so this is the person you met online ? she 's a girl ? she 's not some catfish ? morgan : no , she 's not some catfish , okay ? or some shady old perv . she 's a girl , and i like her a lot , and all she wanted to do was help me get out of trouble . sonny : you 're making a lot of assumptions there , morgan . carly : did you meet this girl ? sonny : yeah , yeah . her name is kiki . carly : kiki ? sonny : it 's a nickname for katherine . her last name is jerome . carly : well , that explains the stupid screen name `` jerome around the world . `` sonny : but it could be more than that . morgan : no . no , dad . we already talked about it . carly : stop . what do you mean it could be more than that ? sonny : okay . the jeromes were a very powerful family back in the ' 80s . they controlled most of port charles . carly : is this girl one of them ? morgan : no ! absolutely not . michael : how can you be sure ? just because she did n't tell you does not mean she 's not tied to a mob family . morgan : can you stay out of this , michael ? carly : hey ! why do n't you try thanking your brother ? 'cause he put his life on hold to come chasing after you . morgan : okay , yeah . oh , thank you , mikey , so much for providing me with assistance that i did n't want or need . oh , and wait , wait , wait . what did i drag you away from that was so important , anyway ? michael : just looking for the long - lost quartermaine heir . kiki : yeah , he 's from port charles , new york . why ? have you heard of it ? luke : i 'll make it worth your while . ava : are you offering me money ? luke : if that 's what it takes . the woman who hired me to find lauren frank is a very wealthy woman . her name is tracy quartermaine . maybe you 've heard of her . ava : as in the port charles quartermaines ? luke : that 's her . kiki : mom . hey , what 's going on ? do you know something i do n't ? heather : why must we talk about samantha morgan ? you know i ca n't stand her . all because she would n't deliver a letter to your son . heather : an extremely important letter . she came to me wanting information . i held up my end . told her everything she wanted to know about jason 's birth and all the circumstances surrounding it . and i ask her for one teeny - weeny little favor -- she paid for that , did n't she ? you made that woman suffer . heather : so did you . sam : voila . i bought it for rafe . spinelli : oh . he must -- he must have a real penchant for ice cream . sam : well , he needed some cheering up . not that he actually ate it . i -- i needed some cheering up . so , go ahead . it actually works . spinelli : if i may be so bold , why did your spirits need lifting ? sam : i failed at something , too . morgan went missing , and i went with carly to new york to go find him . spinelli : mission not accomplished ? sam : not by me , no . sonny 's on his way home with morgan now , if he 's not here already . spinelli : oh . well , i am most relieved to hear that . sam : yeah . crazy thing is , while i was looking for morgan , i actually ... found someone else . spinelli : who ? sam : ready for this ? him . luke : that 's not exactly the turn i expected this visit to take . tracy : then you 're a bigger fool than i thought you were . luke : what the hell is going on here right now ? tracy : that 's what i am to you , luke ? a fireplace with a compass ? luke : i never meant that . tracy : and while we 're throwing out metaphors , why do n't we try this one ? how about home base ? some innings , you make it home . and some innings , you do n't . luke : i did not say that . tracy : oh , but you did . dante : hey , hey , i , uh -- i 'll go with you . i 'll take you wherever you want to go . lulu : i really just want to go home . dante : you do ? that 's great . lulu : oh , no . no , i meant ... dante : uh , yeah . right . you want to go to milo 's . lulu : i 'm so sorry . i -- dante : no , stop . okay ? it 's whatever you need . stop apologizing . lulu : thank you . and thank you for offering to come with me , but ... i can find my own way . dante : i -- i 'd really rather you not go by yourself . lulu : i 'll be fine . please , go enjoy the celebration . everyone looks re -- really happy . scott : okay , okay . time to cut the cake . laura : well , let me at it . scott : all right . laura : okay . here it is . scott : come on . laura : okay .

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 : um , it -- it 's just that the news story , about the hellish relish -- the people who made it , they 're from port charles . i was just trying to figure out why the name was so familiar to me . anyway , back to you and morgan . you really like him , huh ? kiki : yeah . a lot . ava : then do n't give up on him . kiki : wait . are you actually in support of the guy that i 'm dating ? ava : i got to know morgan when he was standing here . he seems like a very nice young man . kiki : he is . ava : shame it has to end just because his father made him go home . kiki : wait . what am i supposed to do about it ? morgan : congrats , mikey . i 'm sure another quartermaine heir kind of takes the pressure off of you , does n't it ? oh , so , uh , who 's your long - lost cousin ? michael : apparently , franco had a daughter named lauren frank . morgan : that freak had a kid ? michael : yeah , we 're trying to track her down to swing the vote for elq . sonny : this is aj 's idea , is n't it ? did it ever occur to him that this girl can be as crazy as her father ? morgan : hey , i think there 's a real cause for concern here , mom and dad . michael 's going off chasing some girl that 's a psychopath , and he could benefit from your guidance . carly : nice try , but i think you 're the one that needs watching . you 're the one who got caught up in gambling , and then you went and stayed with some girl you met online . morgan : her name 's kiki , and i can guarantee that she 's not the daughter of a serial killer . spinelli : stephen clay ? what was he doing in a hospital in new york ? sam : no . spinelli : they were treating him , were n't they ? ! he survived his so - called lethal injuries ! sam : spinelli , no . spinelli : no to what ? sam : no to all of it . although , i mean , i thought so , too . it 's pretty convincing . spinelli : that must have been unnerving . sam : not my best day . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i 'm confused . the resemblance is uncanny . so , who ... ? sam : yes , i know . yes , spinelli , this is not stephen clay . it 's his brother -- dr. silas clay . todd look - alike : i know that i hurt sam . and i wanted to make up for it . i wanted to make amends , but ... i had to leave town . you know that . now 's my chance . heather : yippee . todd look - alike : well , i 'm glad you feel that way because i need your help . tracy : luke , if you had your way , i would exist solely for your comfort and your convenience . luke : not true . tracy : and to stave off the wedding - day curse of scott baldwin . why are you even listening to scott baldwin ? i know why . because you 're getting older , like the rest of us . you do n't want to be alone . you want backup . you want a safety net . well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't be that for you . i ca n't be that for anybody . morgan : yeah , i just do n't get why you got to get on my case or kiki 's . michael : you were worked over by two professionals , morgan . it would have been a lot worse if dad and shawn did n't show up . morgan : please . come on . the way he took down the first guy , we would have had them both in another two minutes . carly : michael , you were fighting ? michael : mom , it 's okay . carly : no , it 's not ok -- morgan , he can not get involved with these kind of things . sonny : it 's handled , carly . the losers who went after morgan , they 're not the type of guys who are gon na press charges . carly : that 's not the point , sonny . morgan , your brother can not be in a fight . he has a criminal record . morgan : yes , i know . that 's why i did n't want michael involved . michael : i was n't gon na stand there and watch these guys beat up you or that girl . carly : i understand that . but you got to be careful . you ca n't go around hitting people . morgan : yeah , mikey , you got to be more careful . michael : you know what ? here 's an idea . next time , do n't bet money you do n't have . and if you do , call your parents before the collectors show up . carly : not gon na be a next time , right ? morgan : no . no , definitely not . lesson learned . carly : way too easy . that was way too easy . sonny : hey . he 's safe . right ? he 's here . so let 's leave it at that . come on . let 's go . carly : whoa . what do you mean , `` come on . let 's go `` ? sonny : he 's gon na come to my place . carly : no , he 's not . i mean , i appreciate everything , but he 's gon na stay with me . sonny : after what just happened , it would be better if i just kept an eye -- carly : send all the guards you want , but i want him in his bedroom . morgan : can you stop ? i hate it when you guys fight over me . just how about i stay with michael ? perfect compromise , right ? nothing 's gon na happen to me when i 'm with my big brother . sonny : it works for me . michael : whoa , whoa , whoa ! hold on a second . that 's not -- carly : it 's not a permanent solution , okay ? i love you . morgan : i love you , too . carly : all right . michael . michael : mom , maybe we should talk about this arrangement . carly : and you know what ? do not let him out of your sight . sonny : keep your phone on , and i 'm gon na check on you . carly : yeah . heather : you want me to help you make amends ? todd look - alike : that 's correct . heather : with samantha morgan , of all people ? todd look - alike : correct again . heather : why in the world would i do anything to help that piece of garbage ? todd look - alike : you would n't be helping her . you 'd be helping me . you do n't hate me , do you ? heather : no . of course not . i could never hate you . well , we have had our moments , but ... we have a bond , after everything we 've been through together . todd look - alike : so you will help me with samantha ? heather : as if i could ever say no to you . sam : silas was estranged from stephen , claimed not to know anything about his criminal behavior . spinelli : but you informed him . sam : dr. clay did n't seem surprised at all that his brother convinced himself that he was a vampire . in fact , he did n't say it in so many words , but he implied that he got points for style . spinelli : was he aware that he had died ? no . and did he have any reaction ? sam : i mean , apparently , they were n't that close , but that 's not the thing that gets me . the thing that gets me is , when i told him that he had a nephew , who i was taking care of -- spinelli : a nephew who saw his mother killed in front of him by his own father . sam : i know . spinelli : still nothing ? sam : nothing . not a shred of human emotion . spinelli : well , surely , he must have been concerned for his nephew . sam : no . it was like he did n't want to have anything to do with rafe . spinelli : did you tell rafe that ? sam : no . rafe has already lost so much . i do n't want him to know that he sam : no . rafe has already lost so much . i do n't want him to know that he actually has family out there that does n't give a damn . spinelli : it 's a sad situation , indeed . i do n't suppose you thought of forcing the issue of getting the courts involved ? sam : no . no . rafe deserves better than somebody who does n't want him . spinelli : well , he could n't have done better than with you . sam : aww . thank you . spinelli : hey , i should go . i have a date . sam : got a date ? ha ha ! say hi to ellie for me . spinelli : i will . you know , thank you for the ice cream . it really does work . sam : [ chuckles ] [ glasses clink ] scott : here 's to my beautiful bride , that i have loved , well ... forever . laura : literally . [ laughter ] scott : and a true love that only gets better with age . elizabeth : aww . laura : i love you . lesley : sweet . scott : let 's eat cake ! laura : okay . elizabeth : he said , `` let 's go eat cake . `` go on ! go get the cake . go and look at it . both : would you like some cake ? elizabeth : really ? just forget your cake . luke : to be honest -- tracy : there 's a first . luke : [ sighs ] i do n't get why you 're so upset . it was one measly kiss . tracy : it was not measly . luke : thank you . tracy : that is so not what i meant . luke : i really thought it was a compliment , tracy ... telling you that i wanted you to be my true north . tracy : luke , what do i get out of it ? i keep the home fires burning for ... months , years ... while you do whatever , wherever , and whenever . what kind of life is that for me ? gee , luke , if you 've got something to say , spit it out ! luke : all right . i was gon na say , i do n't see how that is any different than the life you 're living right now . tracy : in what respect ? luke : do you have any plans to leave port charles ? tracy : no . luke : are you dating someone that i 'm unaware of ? tracy : no ! luke : well , then why is n't it to our mutual benefit to keep going the way we 're going and , in the end , have each other ? tracy : 'cause i do n't want to keep going the way we 're going ! i see how it all works out for you . you get to make scott baldwin wrong ! yippee ! you get to travel the world . and nobody ever says you 're alone or you 're doddering because you 've got me waiting for you ! and what do i get ? luke : me ? tracy : when ? when ? when ? ! in a decade ? i want more than that ! i want a soul mate ! luke : since when ? tracy : since always . what ... you and laura had -- god knows how ... i never had that ! luke : and that 's what you want ? tracy : [ laughs ] clearly , you find that surprising by my demeanor . but , yes . i want -- i dream ... what every single woman dreams of -- true love . luke : well , i 'll be damned . tracy : and guess what . i 'm not gon na give up on that dream ... until my last dying breath . so do n't you dare come in here and kiss me and feed me scraps . i am sick to death of making a meal out of crumbs . i want the whole meal . and i am not giving up ... until i get it . tracy : that 's all you have to say ? luke : give me a minute . [ breathes deeply ] you deserve all that . and more . tracy : but ? luke : but i 'm -- i do n't want to be rude . tracy : no . never . luke : well , do n't you think it 's a little late in the game for such grand romantic dreams ? tracy : it 's never too late . and it does n't have to be a dream . i 'd like you to leave . luke : look , tracy -- tracy : and if you want something to cuddle up to between adventures ... try this . luke : oh , we 're back to this . tracy : we 're back to nowhere , luke . see yourself out . ava : so that 's why tracy wanted you to find lauren . my daughter is a tiebreaker in some battle for control of elq . luke : yes . tracy needs lauren to help unseat this irredeemable jerk ... and thereby save the family fortune . will you help us do that ? michael : well , i hope you do n't mind the couch . where you going ? morgan : where do you think ? new york , back to kiki . michael : morgan , you ca n't do that . morgan . morgan : watch me . who was that guy that visited you ? he looks so familiar . heather : oh . just an old friend . [ doorbell rings ] sam : you ? lesley : lulu left , huh ? dante : i think this was all just a little bit too much for her . lesley : you know , dante ... lulu 's memory loss may not be just from physical trauma . there could be psychological aspect . dante : what do you mean ? lesley : well , if she 's not remembering her past , it may be because there are things buried back there that she does n't want to remember . lesley : i now pronounce you husband and wife . | the mysterious man from the television studio and the airplane goes to visit heather webber at the mental institution . she remarks that he looks a little different than he used to . after exchanging pleasantries , he says he came to talk about sam morgan . she reminds him that she hates sam . he says she already got her revenge and that both of them have hurt sam enough . she agrees to help him with sam . spinelli and sam commiserate over their failed missions . spinelli concludes that the missing quartermaine is already on tracy 's side . sam says she found someone else while she was looking for morgan and shows spinelli a picture of dr. silas clay , steven 's brother . she tells him that silas was completely devoid of any human emotion when she told him everything about steven or when she told him that he has a nephew . after spinelli leaves , sam answers the door to a surprise visitor . |

[ sighs ] the amount of lives that man has taken . the pain and suffering he and his family have caused by exploiting people 's weaknesses with drugs and gambling and -- it 's all gon na end tonight . julian jerome 's going down . dante : you can say it , you know . it 's not just about his crimes . it 's about what he 's done to you and duke . anna : no . no . the scope of his sins far outweighs any personal injury . really , it does . i mean , that being said , i ca n't wait to nail him to the wall . [ chuckles ] is anything going on down there ? dante : nothing yet . we have time , though . lucky break -- getting that intel . anna : yeah . i 'm glad we could use it . so , thank your wife , you know , for giving us the boat . dante : mm . anna : when julian 's shipment comes in , we 're gon na have front - row seats . oh , it 's a long time since i 've been on a stakeout . dante : yeah . you getting bored already ? anna : [ chuckling ] no . are you kidding ? a swat team coming in by land . drug shipment by sea . what 's not to love ? except for the waiting , i suppose . dante : speaking of waiting , any word on , uh , carly and franco ? carly : oh -- franco : this ca n't be right . carly : yeah , it 's the address . and , look , it 's the apartment number . all right . franco : i hope so . it took us long enough to get here . carly : stop complaining . when we figure out what happened between ava and a.j . the night he was shot , it 'll be all worth it , okay ? franco : yeah ? carly : mm - hmm . [ smooches ] yes . okay . franco : you really think this is the guy that 's gon na help us decipher what was on that recording ? carly : well , if anyone can , he can . spinelli : [ gasps ] [ chuckles ] maxie : thank you for the save . nathan : yeah . yeah . not a problem . what -- what is all this stuff ? you got enough to bring down a pack mule . maxie : i know . i usually just order delivery . nathan : i know -- from the one vegan place that delivers . maxie : they have a vast and complex menu with a variety of delicious choices . nathan : i never said they did n't . maxie : well , i wanted to surprise levi with a home - cooked meal . he should be working up an appetite in his hot yoga class . i can never figure out if you 're about to work out or you just wrapped up . nathan : oh .

[ sighs ] you -- you left before -- spinelli : before what ? franco : before carly cleaves through the fog of my history with her light of forgiveness and made me the happiest man on the earth . spinelli : and me , the most nauseated . um , just please tell me that yon sociopath is perpetrating a terrible trick at my expense and you two are not -- carly : we 're together . we are together . yeah . spinelli : uh , forgive my momentary , uh , period of deafness . i was just picturing jason 's shock and horror and his frustrated rage from beyond the grave at the thought of you , his best friend , together with that homicidal , manipulative , explosive - strapping ... franco : oh , wait . there 's more . there 's a new one . i 'm now an unsuccessful , matricidal -- well , kind of a hero -- hero guy . what ? carly : we 've heard it all before . spinelli : during an intervention , i hope . carly : look , i - i will explain everything to you if you let us in -- both of us in -- and then i will tell you what we 're really doing here . please . spinelli : very well . to what do i owe this impromptu visit ? carly : we need your help . anna : yeah , no word from carly and franco . they 've disappeared , along with a.j . 's phone . dante : yeah . i do n't get that . why do they want a.j . 's phone ? anna : i do n't know . all i wanted was to confirm what carlos rivera had said , that a.j . had tried to call 911 before he was shot . i just wanted to confirm that so that i could put everything to rest . unless -- dante : unless they found something . anna : yeah . but what ? i mean , what could be of interest to carly and franco ? i mean , so much so that not only did they steal the phone , but they left town with it . dante : you want me to try to figure out franco ? who knows why that weirdo does half the things he does ? anna : there has to have been a reason , even if it 's illogical . otherwise , why would they have lied about it , you know ? dante : we got movement . anna : oh , yeah ? dante : someone 's just shown up . anna : oh . jordan : hello , boys . julian : oh , look at you , jumping out of your skin to hear the good news . alexis : i would jump straight out of this dress if you tell me right now . julian : well , tempting though that is , i want to wait for sam and lucas . i want my son and our daughter to be here so i can break the good news to everyone -- as a family . alexis : mm . so , this announcement sounds big . julian : i certainly hope so . alexis : out of curiosity , does it have anything to do with what we talked about this morning ? julian : well , i will say this much . you 're gon na have to wait and see . [ smooches ] alexis : that 's okay . i like delayed gratification . so will you -- tonight . julian : [ laughs ] all right . fine . you win . my big announcement is -- sam : hey . hi . i - i hope we 're not too early , are we ? julian : no , no , no . not -- not at all . thank you for coming , seriously . i 'm just -- just really glad you came . come on in . come on in . sam : of course . we would n't miss it . silas : no . i mean , how could we ? although , to be fair , the last party we attended here -- that did n't go too well . sam : no , it did n't . luke : as i said , julian 's having this little dinner party tonight . harry : where ? luke : at his sister 's gallery . they should be getting started about now . harry : okay . so , uh , what do you want me to do ? you want me to take him out right there in front of all the guests ? or , uh , lure him off by himself and let his loved ones find him later ? luke : no , you can save those plans for later . i need him back at work and back in line . he 's no good to me dead . his family , however , is another story . anna : that 's jordan ashford , tj 's mother . dante : she 's part of this ? anna : yeah , yeah . i - i do n't know . she just started working for the jerome art gallery . apparently , that 's not all she does for julian . speaking of julian , where the hell is he ? hors d'oeuvre ? silas : thank you . sam : uh [ chuckles ] look at this . you really -- you really went all out . the flowers are a very nice touch . julian : i told you i have big news . sam : i 'm just wondering if it 's the same florist that sent silas those mystery flowers . silas ? alexis : hold on . someone other than my daughter sent you flowers ? sam : he did get flowers delivered to the hospital , yes . silas : are you sure we want to get into this right here , right now ? sam : well , i just thought my parents would love to know that you have a secret admirer . and , listen , it came with a note . guess what it read . `` i miss you . love , me . `` silas : i thought you said you were n't the , uh , the jealous type . sam : how could i be a jealous type when i have a permit to carry a gun ? what do you -- alexis : for the record , what kind of flowers were they ? silas : i do n't know . the fresh kind . alexis : because if they were daisies or carnations , there 's no need for alarm . roses -- you might need your gun . julian : actually , i 'm more concerned about the card . silas : are you ? julian : yeah , yeah . because it says , `` love , me . `` it usually implies you know the person who sent them . silas : well , i - i do n't . i do n't . so now that we 've all had our fun here , you think we can just let this drop ? alexis : yes , we can . no more joking about silas ' secret admirer . silas : thank you . alexis : although it 's odd , do n't you think ? i mean , should we be worried ? silas : worried ? they 're flowers ! they 're just -- they 're flowers . it 's not like it 's a severed horse head . no offense . julian : none taken . alexis : still , our daughter 's boyfriend got flowers from a mysterious stranger . lucas : sorry . are we late ? silas : no , you 're just on time . please , come in . luke : this is jerome 's woman -- alexis davis . his daughter -- sam morgan . and lucas jones -- his son . harry : oh . luke : they 'll all be at the soiree . harry : you want this hit to go down at the gallery ? luke : is that a problem ? harry : not at all . i , uh , brought a little lullaby . luke : a silencer is golden . harry : yeah . i would hate for one of julian 's high - class neighbors to get suspicious , you know , run down to the police . luke : i expect nothing less of you , harry . harry : so , you want me to take out all three targets ? luke : no . no . you 86 the whole family , i lose my leverage . you got to leave the man some kind of incentive . harry : smart . luke : yeah . i know . so if you just kill one of the brood , that should do the trick . harry : sounds simple . just tell me which one . luke : yeah . spinelli : you know i 'd do anything for you . franco : aw , shucks . spinelli : carly . for you -- carly . so , uh , what -- what do you need ? carly : i need help with this . spinelli : you came all the way to portland for a smartphone tutorial ? carly : no . of course not . this is aj 's phone . spinelli : oh . i see . when i heard of his passing , i - i sent michael this condolence - themed fruit - and- chocolate - dipped - marshmallow bouquet . and it was already in transit before i realized it was a mistake to send it . i just wish it -- i hope it never arrived . franco : you know what has arrived ? us . we 've arrived here , with you . and we have that phone . spinelli : right . uh , sorry . uh , so , uh , expound . carly : aj recorded a conversation he was having right before he was shot . spinelli : what did it say ? carly : we 're not sure . i mean , that 's the problem . there 's something wrong with the audio , and we were hoping you could fix it . spinelli : that all depends . is it a software malfunction , or has the hardware been compromised ? franco : if we knew that , we would n't have to be here with you -- in portland . ellie : excuse me . could you please keep it down ? you just woke up little georgie . maxie : i do n't know if you remember , but i told you a little bit about this before . nathan : yeah . yeah . uh , new year 's eve , before you went on your `` eat . pray . love . `` but -- but the details are a little fuzzy , so if you would n't mind ... maxie : well , spinelli and i took dante and lulu to court to fight for custody of georgie , and the judge deemed me unfit . gave spinelli sole custody and mandated that i not see my daughter for six months . nathan : harsh . maxie : yeah . apparently , the six months are almost up , and i 'm due in court next week so the judge can revisit my case and decide whether or not i 'm allowed to see my daughter . nathan : what are you doing ? maxie : what does it look like i 'm doing ? i 'm not going . jordan : okay . the boat 's in the harbor , and it 's heading to the pier . i need everyone in position in five . you get in , you unload , and you get that product out . we need to do it right , and we need to do it fast . i do n't want any screw - ups . i do n't know about you , but i 've never screwed up . jordan : well , there 's a first time for everything . make sure this is n't it . since when are you giving the orders ? jordan : since jerome put me in charge . why would jerome trust you with the operation ? yeah . where is he , anyway ? jordan : he 's not coming . why ? he 's never missed a shipment before . jordan : jerome is n't coming because ... we do n't work for him anymore . if we do n't work for julian jerome , then who do we work for ? harry : so , who do you want me to hit -- the girlfriend , the son , or the daughter ? luke : [ sighs ] decisions . decisions . eeny , meeny , miny ... lulu : dad ? luke : ... moe . harry : dad ? luke : hey . lulu . what are you doing out here at this hour of the night ? lulu : i decided to walk him to sleep . rocco was fussing . luke : well , you know , babies do that . you should take him home . lulu : trust me , i tried everything i could at home , and no dice . figured i 'd try to take him for a walk and see if a stroll and some night air might help . luke : well , it seems to have worked . so , uh , look at the little bugger , huh ? lulu : i could look at that face 24/7 and never get tired of it . harry : it 's true . luke : yeah . you , too ? harry : yeah . luke : yeah , well , the tot is tuckered . i think you should take him home . lulu : i should probably head back . uh , are you gon na introduce me to your friend ? luke : oh , he is n't my friend . lulu : oh . luke : harry 's my ... travel agent . lulu : really ? luke : yeah . lulu : the man who jumps on random trains , planes , tramp steamers needs a travel agent ... that he meets at night ... in a park ? luke : it is unorthodox . lulu : a little bit . luke : yeah . yeah , well , see , harry 's doing something special for me . it 's a secret . i 'm -- i 'm planning a very special secret honeymoon for tracy . lulu : that 's wonderful . are n't you full of surprises ? luke : i 'm full of something . [ chuckles ] lulu : so , harry , where are you sending my father and my favorite stepmother ? luke : do n't tell her , harry . that is classified information . i 'm sorry , lulu . i ca n't tell you . it -- it 's got to be a secret . but i want to surprise tracy . i think we 're done here , harry . harry : okay . luke : i know you want to get back to work . harry : yeah , time 's a - wasting . look , there 's just one more thing i need from you . luke : what ? harry : you still have n't told me which of the three hotels you 'd like me to book . luke : oh , yeah . right . uh , look . i like all the choices . so why do n't you pick ? i 'm sure i 'll be happy with whatever you choose . harry : all right . hey , beautiful kid . lulu : thank you . harry : good night . alexis : you know , everything we 've eaten so far -- it 's just delicious . it 's terrific . julian : well , i hope so . i slaved over an open catering menu all day . alexis : it still counts . sam : [ chuckles ] totally . alexis : we speak from experience . lucas : i ca n't even imagine how great the rest is gon na be . felix : yeah , you certainly went all out , mr. jerome . julian : well , i try to make a good impression when i can . felix : i have to say , this has been a day of grand gestures . those flowers were beautiful that you delivered to dr. clay . sam : hmm . alexis : [ chuckles ] felix : what ? what did i say ? julian : so , uh , felix , i 've been meaning to compliment you on , you know , taking over the m.c . duties at the nurses ' ball . that was quite the save . lucas : i know . grace under pressure , right ? alexis : speaking of , uh , gracious gestures , did n't you invite us here for dinner and an announcement ? sam : yeah . julian : well , i suppose i did . all right . fine . there 's no time like the present . well , first of all , i , uh , i do want to thank you all for coming . tonight is especially important to me , as it represents a new beginning . when i returned to port charles a year ago , i thought i had everything -- the wealth and power that comes with it . no -- [ clears throat ] no , uh , personal commitments . no messy , romantic entanglements . no pesky kids ... that i knew of . i thought i was a free man . i thought i was happy . how wrong i was . looking around this table here , i see that now . i see that now this is everything . i have been reunited with this amazing woman . i have discovered that i have not one , but two great kids -- a daughter and a son . not to mention a beautiful grandson -- danny . this is everything to me . my family is everything . now , i know that some of you may have heard some things around town -- some allegations that have been made . but i , um , want to promise you , my family , that whatever may have happened in the past or not have happened ... my life and my business are strictly legitimate . you wo n't have to ask any questions . you wo n't have to worry about any rumors . i 'm a legitimate businessman . a publisher . nothing more . nathan : what do you mean , you 're not going ? maxie : it 's pretty self - explanatory , unlike this quinoa . why is this so complicated ? nathan : it 's 'cause you 're looking at the recipe . all you need to do with quinoa is boil it for 15 minutes . maxie : oh , i 'll try that out . thanks . nathan : no , no , no . what do you mean , you 're not going to court ? maxie , do n't you want to see your daughter ? maxie : no . i do n't . nathan : you ca n't mean that . maxie : nathan , please , i 've come to peace with the situation . levi helped me see it for what it is -- a growth experience that i was supposed to learn from and move on . nathan : move on from your daughter ? maxie , we 're talking about a life that you brought into this world -- your own flesh and blood . do n't you even want to see her ? maxie : well , even if i did , georgie lives across the country . and it 's not like she needs me . she has spinelli and his wonder - nerd girlfriend . i mean , i guarantee that not only is georgie eating healthier than levi , but she 's probably mastered four languages and invented something really important by now . nathan : look , i 'm sure that spinelli 's girlfriend cares for georgie very much , but it 's not the same . she 's not georgie 's mother . you are . maxie : why do you care ? nathan : because i think you care -- very much . and you 're trying to convince yourself that you do n't . maxie : well , i think that you do n't know what you 're talking about , so you should just shut the hell up . spinelli : i 'm so sorry . we did n't mean to disturb the wee one 's slumber . carly : she is so beautiful . you are an angel . do you realize that ? oh , my gosh , she 's getting so big , spinelli . spinelli : i know . uh , well , look , ellie , we have company -- all the way from port charles . is n't that exciting ? whee . ellie : yeah . so exciting . hi , carly . carly : hi . hi . you do remember ... franco ? ellie : franco . oh , yeah . no , i definitely remember franco . i remember that he tried to convince me to jump off the hospital roof . franco : no . what i did was i suggested you jump off the roof to jolt you into remembering the value of your own life , and clearly you have . you 're welcome . ellie : damian , what 's , uh , what 's going on ? spinelli : apparently carly and franco are in need of my technical expertise to recover an audio recording from the night that aj quartermaine was shot . ellie : why ? carly : it might have some evidence on it . ellie : i read that that case was closed . did n't -- did n't sabrina 's former beau , carlos rivera ... franco : we do n't care about him . nobody does . we 're trying to get the goods on ava . spinelli : ava jerome ? carly : yeah . her again . spinelli : why did n't you just say that in the first place ? anything i can do to assist in the downfall of that -- carly : lying , manipulative , psychotic , cradle - robbing -- spinelli : balloon popper . franco : is that code for something ? spinelli : no . no . no . uh , carly hired me to follow ava , and she `` made `` me , as it were , in my disguise , and in a malicious and totally unnecessary gesture , she -- she popped my balloons . [ georgie babbles ] spinelli : right . anyway , you 've been looking for something on ava for a long time . did -- did she have something to do with aj 's shooting ? carly : no , no . she did n't shoot him . but she was there when it happened . and before he was shot , ava and aj had a pretty big fight . and franco and i -- we want to know what it was about . spinelli : uh , well , i 'll see what i can do . carly : great . franco : look at little boy george . ellie : it 's -- it 's little girl georgie . franco : oh . she 's cute . can i hold her ? ellie : no ! franco : overprotective mother . ellie : actually , i -- i 'm not her mother . nathan : you 're absolutely right . i do n't know anything about the custody situation with your daughter . maxie : [ sighs ] at least we can agree on that . nathan : look , if you 're absolutely sure that you 've squared with the situation -- it 's your call , but -- maxie : but what ? nathan : but -- from what you 've told me on new year 's eve , it almost killed you when the judge told you that you could n't see your daughter . now , maybe -- maybe you do n't want to go through that again . maybe you think that it 'll hurt less if you just avoid the hearing , right ? but to give up a chance to see your daughter out of fear ? it would be a mistake . i 'll -- i 'll see you later . anna : there 's still no sign of julian . dante : well , i know why he 's not here . anna : why ? dante : the unit surveilling the gallery just radioed in . he 's over there . anna : at the gallery ? dante : yeah . anna : when he 's got a shipment coming in ? dante : he thought he 'd invite his family over for a dinner party tonight . anna : [ scoffs ] really ? he thinks a public dinner with his kids is gon na provide him with an alibi ? dante : yeah . anna : well , he 's gon na have a rude awakening , 'cause everyone on that pier is a known jerome associate . yeah . this is his operation . so when we bust this shipment , julian goes down , too . jordan : look , i 'll be honest with you . i do n't really know who our new boss is . how can you not know ? jordan : because mr. jerome did n't divulge his name . [ scoffs ] looks like he 's got a lot of trust in you . jordan : you all have been working for julian jerome longer than i have , right ? did he trust any of you men of integrity with that little tidbit of information , or are we all just in the same dark here ? your guess is as good as ours . jordan : exactly . let 's get into position . i will tell you , whoever our new boss is , we do not want to disappoint him . lulu : you know you do n't have to sit here , right ? luke : what , are you trying to get rid of me ? lulu : of course not . i just think that tracy might be missing her new husband . luke : [ chuckles ] do n't worry about your stepmother . she can do without me for another hour or so . we 're gon na be stuck like glue for the rest of our lives . lulu : you 're so bad . luke : you do n't know the half of it . where 's that , uh , policeman husband of yours ? what 's his name ? lulu : dante ? luke : dante . i knew it was italian . is n't he gon na be missing you and the kid ? lulu : yeah . we 're missing him , too . but rocco and i are on our own tonight . dante got called in to work . with any luck , he 'll be helping to take down the jeromes . lucas : are you serious ? julian : i am . i promise it 's the truth . i run a media company . nothing more . lucas : good . i 'm glad . sam : did you know about this , mom ? alexis : let 's just say i had my hopes . julian : oh , please . do n't sell yourself short . the life i was raised in -- the business that my father expected me to inherit was all about profit and power . nothing else . and with alexis ' help , i chose something different . now i want to share my life with the people i care about . that is what means the most to me now . lucas : hear , hear , dad . sam : hear , hear . julian : i do n't know what to say . alexis : to family and freedom . julian : hmm . to family and freedom . mm . all right . all right . enough about this . let 's eat before the salad wilts away , and we can get to the main course . hmm ? mm . alexis : that was worth the wait . julian : i told you it would be . alexis : i knew you were gon na say it . julian : you did not know . you 'd hoped . alexis : you 're right . i 'm really proud of you . that was a very intelligent , very smart thing to do . [ smooches ] no matter what luke says . julian : luke ? what did -- what did luke say ? you 're just getting here now ? harry : look , man , i 'm sorry , all right ? i 'll serve the dessert . make sure they enjoy it . franco : so , what do you do in portland ? ellie : [ sighs ] i run a lab . franco : no , i mean ... what do you do ? brunch ? you probably eat a lot of kale , right ? go to a lot of feminist bookstores ? ellie : actually , there are any number of fascinating museums in the greater portland area . and should the weather grow nice like it is now , i plan on taking little georgie to the arboretum . franco : wow . science , art , and nature . all of them , worthy pursuits . ellie : thank you . franco : mm - hmm . ellie : you know , speaking of pursuits , can i ask you a question ? franco : oh , yeah , absolutely . anything . what 's up ? ellie : what does carly see in you ? carly : were you able to restart your p.i . business ? that ca n't be easy in a new city . spinelli : well , actually , since we moved , i 've pretty much just taken of georgie . carly : really ? spinelli : yeah . when ellie goes to the lab , i 'm pretty much mr . mom , and i would n't -- i would n't have it any other way . carly : so fatherhood 's really agreeing with you . spinelli : every day , we go to the park or we go to the library or the aquarium . some days , we just stay at home and stare at the ceiling . i did n't -- i did n't realize how big the world was until i was showing it to someone so small . i 'm loving every minute of it . carly : that sounds wonderful . spinelli : yeah , it is . [ sighs ] d -- do you know how maxie 's doing ? carly : no . why ? spinelli : well , she is n't -- she is n't returning any of my calls . carly : oh . well , i heard she just got back from a long trip . spinelli : yeah . carly : you know maxie . she 's probably just preoccupied . spinelli : it 's -- it 's been six months since the judge denied her visitation , and , you know , the case is being reviewed next week , so i just assumed -- i 'm just surprised that i have n't heard from her . i thought , you know , she 'd be excited by the prospect of -- of seeing her daughter . yeah , i wonder what 's going on with her . nathan : the harbor team just radioed in . jerome 's ship 's gon na dock . anna : okay . well , it seems that our friend julian is trying to keep his hands clean tonight . so i 'm gon na take the secondary team and go over to the gallery . that puts dante on point . so you and detective west take the primary team and go over to the pier . all right ? so , the second this bust goes down , radio me , and me my team are gon na take down julian . alexis : luke came by the house . julian : really ? when was this ? alexis : a few hours ago . we got to talking -- we 're very old friends -- and he started asking me about my relationship with you . julian : why would he want to know about our relationship ? alexis : he was worried , because he knows what you do for a living -- did . julian : okay . so , what did you tell him ? alexis : only that we talked about the possibility of you getting out of the business . julian : i see . and did he have anything to , uh , say on the matter ? any insight ? alexis : well , he was -- he was concerned about how your boss would react . evidently , sonny told luke about him . julian : hmm . and did , uh , luke say anything else ? alexis : luke was concerned there might be some kind of retaliation . luke : the jeromes ? i thought they were teflon . what 's dante got himself into ? lulu : i do n't know the details . i probably should n't even be talking about it . it 's police business . luke : come on , now . if you ca n't trust your old man , who -- who are you gon na trust in this world ? what 's going down ? lulu : okay . all dante said is that the police got a tip about a drug shipment coming in tonight . dante 's gon na take it down . luke : damn it . damn it ! franco : trout . is that really your name ? ellie : yep . what about it ? franco : funny name . it could be worse , though , i guess . you could have married that guy . then you 'd be ellie -- ellie : ellie spinelli . you 're not the first person to point that out . and , believe it or not , it also occurred to me independently . i 'm gon na go take georgie to her room . hey , damian . how much longer do you think this is gon na take ? spinelli : i actually think i got it . ellie : oh . carly : already ? you already got it ? spinelli : yes . your trans - american sojourn has been rewarded with the jackal 's characteristic alacrity and efficiency . so if you need to find out what happened between ava and aj , all you got to do is hit `` play . `` lulu : dad ? okay , why are you so angry about dante taking down one of julian jerome 's shipments ? luke : well , is n't it obvious ? your cousin lucas . lulu : lucas knows that his father is in the mob . luke : yeah , but are n't they at the sort of `` getting acquainted `` stage , you know ? i mean , i 'm sure lucas has all kinds of fantasies that his father has a heart of gold or whatever the hell it is that sonny 's kids tell themselves . i think he 's -- he 's gon na get all kinds of illusions shattered . lulu : that 's really sweet of you to be so worried about lucas . luke : well , what can i say ? i 'm a giver . lulu : i think lucas understands the situation . it 's better for everyone if the bad guys get put out of commission . move that in here this way . yeah . jordan : all right . come on , come on . let 's move . the sooner we get out of here , the better . come on ! dante : freeze ! pcpd ! julian : so , that 's what luke said ? retaliation ? alexis : yeah . why ? are you worried about that , too ? julian : no . no , that 's not gon na be an issue . i 'll do whatever i can to protect my family . | luke hires someone named harry to show julian that he ca n't walk away without consequences . he says he needs julian alive and back at work , but his family is dispensable . he shows harry pictures of alexis , sam , and lucas and tells him to kill one and leave the others unharmed for later . lulu happens upon them while walking rocco . luke says harry is his travel agent . lulu says she is sure that the man who jumps on random modes of transport needs a travel agent that he meets at night in a park . when harry leaves , luke asks lulu what her husband 's name is and where he is . she reminds him that her husband 's name is dante and says he is at work trying to take down the jeromes . she reveals that the police got a tip about a drug shipment tonight . lulu wonders why luke gets so angry about it . luke says he is concerned about lucas . she says she thinks lucas understands what happens to the bad guys . |

[ scene_break ] morgan : whoa . okay . what -- what did i do ? kiki : [ scoffs ] is that a serious question ? morgan : yeah . kiki : well , i never liked the idea of drugging michael -- not when you brought it up and not when we were doing it . especially not when our little sister was hurt . morgan : what are you talking about ? she was n't hurt . kiki : oh , you 're right . she only could have been hurt when michael , who we drugged , knocked over her stroller . and you know what the best part is ? it did n't even work . avery 's back with michael . morgan : okay , and that 's my fault ? kiki : it was a -- it was a stupid plan . morgan : yeah . that you went along with , kiki . kiki : because you talked me into it . morgan : you know what ? i was open to any and all suggestions . if you had a better idea , you should have spoke up . and thanks to my stupid plan , we were able to get avery back . kiki : yeah , for all of two seconds , before we were almost sent to prison ! morgan : are you in prison ? are you in prison ? are you locked up ? no , you 're not . kiki : you 're right -- i 'm not . because sonny traded avery for our freedom . okay ? sonny dropped the custody suit so michael would drop the charges against us . now we 're never gon na get avery back , and michael 's gon na have her forever . [ scene_break ] michael : anna could have carlos , but it just has n't made it to the news yet . sabrina : yeah , but it 's not like she ran out of here 20 minutes ago . it 's been hours . and anna knew that she did n't have a lot of time . she was headed straight for the pier . michael : maybe carlos managed to escape . sabrina : maybe . michael : [ sighs ] but then anna would have set up a manhunt , and that would have definitely been picked up by local affiliates , if not national . sabrina : sounds like you know a lot about this . michael : yeah . yeah , i 've been around a few arrests in my life . sabrina : and now you 're in charge of a conglomerate like elq . michael : [ chuckles ] you think i missed my calling ? sabrina : i 'm sure you would have made a very effective mob boss . michael : mm . sabrina : but i 'm glad that you went a different direction . michael : yeah , me too . you 're still worried . look , um ... being out of the loop is the worst part , okay , but i 'm sure you 're gon na hear something soon . sabrina : it just does n't feel right , michael . michael : waiting for word never does . your instinct is always to go to the darkest place . sabrina : but what if my instinct is right ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it was nothing but a stroke of bad luck . shawn was trying to hit jake and got hayden instead . anna : is she gon na make it ? elizabeth : we do n't know . she 's in surgery now . in fact , i 've got to get back to the hospital and see how it 's going . sloane : i 'll check in with my people , as well . thank you very much for the update . elizabeth : of course . anna , i am so sorry about duke . so sorry . anna : thank you . [ scene_break ] jake : i held the gun , but i did n't fire it , so the cops had to let me go . sam : okay , well , i just do n't understand why you 're letting everyone , including sonny , think that you are the one that murdered duke . you 're making yourself a target . jake : and now hayden paid the price . sam : come on , i do n't want you to blame yourself . jake : it 's too late for that . sam : no , i want you to understand that you did not kill duke , so why wo n't you allow yourself to be publicly exonerated ? [ scene_break ] anna : shawn tried to kill jake . sloane : i should have known . i got a call from jerome warning me something like this would go down . anna : you did n't do anything ? sloane : i got the intel on rivera at the exact same time . i had to delegate . so i sent jordan to take care of the jake situation . anna : while you took care of me . sloane : apparently , she stopped the hit . anna : on jake . but an innocent woman got hit . and now jordan 's cover is blown . oh , god , this whole thing is such a mess ! sloane : jake 's still alive . anna : yes , for the moment , but everybody believes that he murdered duke , which he did n't . carlos did . we need to fix this , kyle . you ca n't let your informant 's life be out on the line . sloane : how do you think i 'm gon na clear jake 's name ? !

[ scene_break ] alexis : it is unconscionable for the hospital to make that kind of mistake . you do not just cremate a baby when the parents want him buried . julian : the mother . i had no say . alexis : either way . it 's wrong , and i 'll sue . it 's a lawsuit i can win . julian : to what end , alexis ? i ... mean , right now , i have more money than i even know what to do with . alexis : it 's the principle . it 's wrong . julian : okay . you may be right , but it 's not gon na bring my son back . and , honestly , that 's the only outcome that i want right now , so let 's just ...

[ scene_break ] olivia : [ sighs ] no matter how i feel about julian jerome , i just ... i hate that i 'm causing him this kind of pain . dante : he took it pretty bad , huh ? olivia : can you blame him ? dante : no . but i ca n't blame you , either . you do some drastic stuff when you 're looking after your kid . olivia : i know . and i know ... i know what i 'm asking you , honey . i - i know that i 'm putting you in a terrible position . that 's why i lied to you . you 're an officer of the law , for god sakes . what i 'm doing here is blatantly illegal , but i 'm ... i 'm begging you , dante . i 'm begging you to have my back on this . please . please do n't tell julian the truth . [ scene_break ] morgan : tell me i 'm wrong . tell me you did n't kiss me . kiki : you know that i did . morgan : okay , then . kiki : it was just another huge mistake . morgan : why ? because michael got jealous ? or maybe that 's the part you liked . kiki : [ scoffs ] excuse me ? morgan : you know what , kiki ? you admitted that you still had feelings for the guy . kiki : no , that is not true . you asked me if i still had feelings for him , and i told you that would be hard , considering the way that he 's treated me . morgan : uh - huh , and that 's not exactly an answer , it is ? kiki : oh , my god ! morgan : so , what is it ? it 's like he had some hold on you . he always has -- even when we were married . kiki : oh , please , yes , let 's talk about that so - called marriage and how you lied to me the entire time . morgan : you know what ? and you still could n't get him out of your mind . so , what is it ? is it because he thinks he 's better than everyone else ? 'cause he thinks he 's better than us , that 's for sure . kiki : oh , would you please stop it ? ! morgan : he cut you out of his life , threw you out of his apartment because of , what , one mistake ? kiki : it was a huge mistake , morgan ! morgan : yeah , but if he loved you , that would n't happen . but you know what ? maybe that 's what turns you on . kiki : oh , shut up ! morgan : someone always saying that you 're not good enough -- is that what keeps you coming back ? huh ? is it ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : are you sure you 're okay with this ? michael : yeah . why would n't i be ? sabrina : because waiting to hear about carlos ' arrest is n't exactly what you had in mind for tonight . michael : no , but having dinner with you is . so , what 's it gon na be ? we gon na do noodle buddha , pizza , or takeout from the floating rib ? sabrina : look , before we decide on what to order ... i want to ask you a question . michael : ah . yes , i am working on your recommendation . it 's 30 pages long , and ... there 's a chapter about how i was wrongfully accused , drugged , and you exonerated me , showing a combination of intelligence , perception , and medical know - how . i 'm sure there 's gon na be hospitals lined up to hire you . sabrina : well , i 'm so glad . michael : i 'm not . i want you to be with me and aj for a long time .

mac : you ca n't be serious . alexis : no , i 'm not funny by nature , joking is a stretch for me . ric : i 'm hoping we misheard . alexis : all right , well then i 'll repeat it so that everyone can hear it again . i am having luke released . he is a member of the community , he has a business here , he has family here . he wo n't run . mac : that 's never stopped him before . and that business you mentioned , that 's what got you arrested in the first place . luke : that was a misunderstanding , bubba . mac : we did n't misunderstand that you 've been laundering mob money in that casino since the minute it reopened . ric : um , a word , please . alexis : nope , not if you 're going to lecture me about how i do my job . because i am the d.a . and you are not . ric : no , i would n't dream of telling you how to do your job . but it seems that you need a refresher course in basic human nature . alexis : hmm .

[ scene_break ] jason : how much trouble are you in ? carly : i tell you and you fix it , right ? jason : is n't that why you 're here ? carly : i ca n't blame you for thinking so -- you know , that 's how it works . i pull some big stunt or come up with some great big plan , and i wreck everyone 's life within a 10 mile radius . and i come to you and i beg you to bail me out of it . but i ca n't ask you that because you ca n't fix this , jason . jason : why do n't you let me decide that , okay ? here you go , it 's okay . carly : after you left , sonny and i said goodbye to michael , and it was horrible . you know , we were just staring at our little boy laying there in the bed , and it was awful . and then sonny gave me a ride home and -- i thought we 'd reconnected , you know . but i was wrong , i handled everything wrong and sonny is so angry with me right now . jason : okay , just tell me what you did . carly : i tried to take sonny 's child away from him .

[ scene_break ] alexis : the last time i checked , you were still the attorney of record for anthony zacchara . so you have a lot of nerve lecturing me on luke being a menace to society . ric : come on , alexis , you know that luke is a flight risk . the man is probably planning his escape route out of town as we speak . alexis : i admit , he 's known to make himself scarce once in a while . but he has tracy now , and i think he really loves her . and , heart condition . ric : ooh , well , considering his precarious heart condition , that would give him all the more reason to want to run out of town . that , and the alternative of being sent off to prison . and you are risking your position as d.a . to give him the free pass -- why ? [ scene_break ] luke : is that disappointment i see in your big bright eyes ? tracy : why would i be disappointed ? luke : well , i do n't know , maybe you prefer me incarcerated and safe . with enough time to build the skyline of new york out of my thousands of swizzle sticks and contemplate the error of my ways . tracy : as if prison walls could hold you . i do have one burning question , however . what the hell did you do to make anthony zacchara hang you out to dry ? luke : it beats me , but i intend to find out . tracy : [ laughs ] of course you do , because getting arrested is n't enough , you could get yourself killed . luke : it wo n't come to that . [ scene_break ] jason : now , you said something about taking sonny 's child away . do you mean michael ? carly : yeah , i walked all the way out here , and i felt like i was just crashing back in time . you know , it was raining , and i was cold , and all i could think about was how fast i could get to you . but this time i 'm not pregnant , and the child i was carrying is a little boy who has lost me just like the baby i was supposed to have with jax has lost me . and i ca n't lose morgan , jason , you have to understand that . jason : okay , hold on , you 're all over the place , you 've got to tell me what happened with sonny first . carly : i asked sonny to sign his rights away to morgan and he accused me of taking advantage of him . jason : how ? carly : it 's not important . jason : no , no , it is important . i mean , you asked me for help , i ca n't give it to you unless i know why you 're upset . what are you not telling me ? [ scene_break ] anthony : i did n't hurt your sister or make her disappear . and if anyone else did , i 'll grind them so far into the ground their last breath will be dirt . man : mr. zacchara , you have a visitor . anthony : did it occur to you to get a name ? jerry : oh , it 's only me , following up on our potential business arrangement . would it be possible for your charming daughter , or sister in your case , to join us ?

[ scene_break ] lulu : hey , i got your message . so what 's wrong ? does it have to do with johnny ? lucky : it 's interesting that would be the first place you would go . but no , it 's daddy -- about to take off again , and i thought you might want to say goodbye . lulu : where is he going ? lucky : you 're asking me ? like i know where dad goes when he leaves to go on the run , like somewhere in the outer reaches of mongolia ? lulu : okay , okay , so obviously i missed something major . lucky : okay , a tip came in that dad was involved with money laundering and that we would find evidence here -- well , we did . now dad is at the pcpd and alexis is trying to get him -- lulu : no , this is not supposed to happen . lucky : what do you know about this ? lulu : uhh . [ scene_break ] anthony : you braved this storm to discuss a business deal no zacchara has agreed to ? jerry : well , i was hoping the storm would keep the father - son attorney team away . anthony : trevor and ric are paid to look after my family 's interests . johnny : and to protect us against predators like yourself . jerry : well , the question is , who is protecting you from the lansings ? especially since both foxes have entered the henhouse , so to speak . anthony : if you have insight to offer on my attorneys , would love to hear it . jerry : all right , you see , trevor lansing is a man driven by ambition but secured in the shadows . he wields his power from behind the scenes , while making you and your children consistently dependent on him . eventually , he becomes the one with the power . anthony : mm - hmm , and his kid ? jerry : he 's a pathological opportunist . proven only by the fact that ric would n't let a little thing like you running him through with a sword prevent him from becoming your legal lap dog . anthony : maybe ric realized it 's healthier to stand with me than against me . jerry : well , something on which we agree . which brings me to the reason for my visit . i would like to renew a request to lease the cannery for my import business . johnny : okay , business hours are over . come back tomorrow . jerry : well , i could do that , but i braved the elements to -- anthony : if my son says hit the road , why the hell are you still standing there ? nope , not the brightest bulb , but his instincts are infallible . jerry : no , no need for the muscle . i will leave you to your evening . send my regards to the charming claudia . good night . johnny : i 'm asking you again . you lied to me the first time , i let it go . did you have anything to do with claudia 's disappearance ? anthony : johnny , i 'm not convinced that claudia is missing . but if she is , i had nothing to do with it . johnny : i 'm going to go look for her then . [ scene_break ] claudia : you ca n't go to jason . nikolas : sure , i can , and i will -- he 'll believe me . claudia : you have no idea what you will set in motion . jason wo n't wait for proof ; he 'll just come and kill me . and then he 'll go looking for my brother john , and he 'll take him out just for good measure . look , johnny had nothing -- you hear me ? he had nothing to do with michael 's shooting . do you want that on your conscience , can you live with that ? nikolas : yes -- you are so quick to defend your brother , but i have yet to hear any grand protestations of innocence on your behalf . claudia : do you want to know what happened ? because i will tell you , if you agree that you wo n't do anything . nikolas : okay , i mean there 's no phone service here , so we 're basically prisoners in this house until after the storm . but , captive audience or not , you are going to have a really difficult time convincing me there are any good excuses for putting a child in a coma for the rest of his life . claudia : we were n't trying to hurt michael ; we were trying to kill sonny . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , for about one minute , sonny and i were in a better place than we have been since this whole thing started . jason : and then something happened to change that ? carly : yeah , i handed sonny the papers that jax had alexis draw up . jason : what do you mean ? what kind of papers ? carly : renouncing all parental rights to michael and morgan . i know this is a sensitive issue for you , jason . jason : it 's not like jake . everybody thinks lucky is his father , my enemies are n't going to target him . but i do n't really understand what you thought you would accomplish . everybody knows that michael and morgan are sonny 's kids . carly : michael was n't shot because he 's sonny 's son . he was shot because he was standing too close to sonny , and that 's what happens . you know , if you 're in the same room as sonny , if you are in a warehouse with sonny , if you go to the city with sonny . if you are with sonny , you are putting your own life in your hands . especially if his first instinct is to protect someone else , jason . jason : so you 're saying morgan is going to be safer away from sonny ? carly : it ups his chances , would n't you say ? jason : i wo n't argue with that . carly : but you 're not agreeing with me . jason : it 's the best i 've got , carly . carly : well , at least you 're being reasonable . jason : i know morgan 's father . carly : yeah , and as usual , sonny ca n't see past his own self interest . you know , he thinks i am trying to take something away from him , something he owns . never mind what 's good for morgan . he thinks i am trying to punish him for what happened to michael . jason : are you ? [ scene_break ] lucky : you 're acting like you knew dad was going to be arrested . lulu : ha ha -- ah , well , and you did n't ? talk about the writing on the wall in big , impossible to miss letters . i just did n't think it was going to happen this fast . johnny : has claudia been here ? lulu : i have n't seen her -- lucky ? lucky : give it a rest . johnny : excuse me ? lucky : what , did trevor not fill you in ? johnny : i have no idea what you 're talking about . lucky : like hell . lulu : lucky , please . my dad was arrested tonight . johnny : what did he do ? lucky : what you paid him to do . lulu : apparently somebody tipped the cops off that my dad was using the casino to launder money . lucky : yeah , conveniently enough the money was right here , practically in plain sight . sound like a set up to you ? johnny : if it was , it was n't mine . lucky : then i want you to give me a family member of yours that wants my dad out of the way . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know something , i resent you questioning my motives . because i am abiding by the law without violating luke 's civil rights . ric : come on , you 're practically giving him a lift to the city limits . alexis : i 'm sorry , and why do you care ? ric : okay , about luke ? no , i do n't , but i am concerned about a certain scott baldwin or the mayor , who might use this against you , alexis , if luke decides to disappear -- excuse me , when luke decides to disappear . [ scene_break ] mac : give me ammunition against the zaccharas and maybe we can work out a plea bargain . luke : i appreciate the offer , bubba , but i 'm nobody 's rat . tracy : oh , i hope you find your principles consoling when you 're exercising in the prison yard an hour a day . mac : so , what 's the verdict ? alexis : so , will you please release luke ? mac : officer , release him . alexis : so , i 'm cautioning you , i 'm warning you , i 'm advising you -- do n't even think about leaving town . luke : whatever you say , boss . [ scene_break ] carly : are you taking sonny 's side on this ? jason : no , i 'm just asking questions . if you do n't want me to ask you questions -- carly : no , i , i -- you just have a unique way of looking at things , you know , which is why i 'm here . jason : okay , look , i understand that you 're angry with sonny . i know that you 're angry with sonny because you think he saved kate instead of michael . but i read the ballistics report -- sonny was the target . the bullet hit close to him , it ricocheted , it hit michael . michael was 10 feet away . if that bullet did n't ricochet , michael would have been fine . or the possibility of sonny wanting to try to shield michael , he would have drawn the sniper 's fire and michael still could have been hit , carly . carly : so , michael 's damned either way , right ? that 's my point . my children are n't safe when they 're around their father . and nothing you just told me changes the fact that sonny 's first instinct was to protect kate , not michael . and i am never going to forget that , jason , and it will forever change the way i feel about him . soy will always jump in front of a bullet to save his kid -- no , he wo n't , that 's not true -- and you know what ? maybe it never was . [ scene_break ] claudia : when kate howard was shot and michael went missing , sonny assumed that johnny was behind it . so he had my brother grabbed off the streets and he locked him in a padded room in a mental ward , without food and without water , and beat him . sonny was threatening to cut johnny 's fingers off and send them home to me in pieces . nikolas : yeah , i guess i can see how that would make you angry . claudia : it did n't make me angry , nikolas , i could n't see straight . nikolas : well , why did n't you call the police ? claudia : because that 's not how we do things . not the zaccharas , not my family , not sonny . and when michael came back , and sonny came around looking for a truce , me and john agreed to a truce . we agreed to it , but then i immediately found somebody to take sonny out without it getting back to me and john . nikolas : ah , ah yes , enter ian devlin , right ? claudia : i had done some work with ian before , in italy . and he was anxious to get a drug shipment into town . so i told ian that i would help him out if he would take sonny out . you knew ian devlin , did n't you ? did n't you , nikolas ? because the night michael was shot , i met with ian devlin in your office . and when he walked in , thinking that he was talking to you , he was already furious . he must have been furious at you , so how do you fit into this whole scenario , nikolas ? because i know that you do , and i can see it on your face . [ scene_break ] johnny : i am sorry your father was arrested . lucky : yeah , yeah , yeah , your heart is bleeding . johnny : okay , i do n't have time to convince you , i have to go find my sister . for what it 's worth , i had nothing to do with your arrest . lucky : i accept that . lucky : do you believe this guy ? luke : yeah , i do . i got caught in the crossfire of your family fall - out . i want you to make sure that the same thing does n't happen to my daughter . johnny : i 've always done my best to look after lulu , that wo n't change . luke : okay , what 's going on here , what is this , some kind of intervention ? lulu : yeah -- no , i think we know better by now . lucky : yeah , i called lulu over here so she could say her good - byes . luke : well , that was very un - police academy of you . lucky : you know , you used to tell me not to look the gift horse in the mouth ? i think now would be a good time to take your own advice . lulu : so , lucky 's right ? you 're leaving ? luke : alexis has practically bought me an airline ticket . you know , i hate jumpsuits , and prison orange is not really my color . so i thought i better disappear just so i can clear my name . lulu : well , i hate when this happens . it always does so i 'm not going to make it difficult . i love you . luke : i love you , too , cupcake . lulu : just promise me that you will be safe . luke : i promise . lulu : okay , that means no binge drinking , no cigars , no -- luke : wait , wait , this earache all of a sudden , i ca n't hear you . lulu : okay , i just want you to come back in one piece . so call us to let us know that you 're safe ? luke : yes , i 'll do that as soon as i can . but , remember , until you hear from me , no news is good news . lulu : okay , well , i 'll see you later . luke : i love you . lulu : love you . luke : now you be safe . lulu : i will . luke : okay , lay it on me , give me the `` i told you sos . `` lucky : how about i say , i just -- i 'm going to miss you , and leave it at that . luke : you big lug .

[ robin laughs ] patrick : yeah . robin : i 'm so sorry . patrick : sorry for what ? robin : for dragging you into a situation you never wanted to be a part of . patrick : you did n't drag me into anything , we made this baby together . robin : by accident . patrick : still , he or she is in their ready to make appearance and i 'm going to be a father whether i am prepared or not . i just , i do n't want to screw it up . robin : i 'm not worried . okay , i am cautiously optimistic . patrick : okay , then i will be , too . listen , i 've got rounds , so -- robin : wait , what about this guy ? patrick : okay , well , i can put him in your car , or i can take him back . robin : no , no , please do n't do that . patrick : okay , well , he 's doing rounds with me then . come on , buddy , i could use the practice . how do i look ? robin : great . patrick : okay . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , carly , just -- you have got to try and remember that sonny loves his kids . he 's always wanted what 's best for them . carly : then he should be able to understand we need to protect the son he has left . jason : do you think it 's easy to give up a child ? you ca n't just say it 's for the best and walk away even when you know you should . you came here to hear what i think . do you want to hear what i think ? carly : yes , i do . jason : all right , i think if you stay rational , you keep explaining your position until sonny can hear you ; you might have a chance of him coming around to seeing things your way . but if you go at him , and get him defensive , he 's not going to hear anything and you 're going to start a fight that nobody is going to win . carly : i love you , with all my heart . [ scene_break ] nikolas : are you insinuating that i bear some kind of guilt by association over what happened with michael ? just because i know ian , i am somehow culpable ? claudia : no , of course not . i am just -- i 'm not saying that at all . i 'm just wondering why you are so defensive suddenly . nikolas : you probably already know this , but i paid ian $ 10 million to gain access to an experimental drug that is illegal in this country . and he obviously used that $ 10 million to finance a drug shipment that he wanted you to land . so if you connect those two damning dots , my money helped put michael in that coma . so , hey , i guess i 'm guilty , too . [ scene_break ] [ knocking on door ] robin : jason , it 's robin .

[ scene_break ] claudia : if you wanted just a little bit of advice , lose the guilt . it 's a useless emotion . i mean , what you did was n't premeditated , it was n't even unusual . really , people with money and power , they use it to get what they want all the time , and why should n't they ? i mean , look , we could all backtrack every single action we 've ever made if we really wanted to . i 'm sure , i guarantee , that we could find our place in the chain of circumstances that led to somebody 's misfortunes somewhere . nikolas : i 'm sorry , but that was one of the most fascinating philosophical insights into the perils of being rich i have ever heard . thank you , i feel so much better . claudia : i just -- look , all i 'm saying is that you had a legitimate reason to do business with ian . it 's not like you were trying to get rich or high . nikolas : well , that 's just great , i off the hook . are you trying to make excuses for me hoping that i will return the favor ? claudia : no , i wanted sonny dead . i told you . i hired ian to kill him . what i never meant to happen was for a little boy to end up getting shot in the head . just like you never meant for your money to go to devlin for him to play dr. drug lord . nikolas : it does n't matter ; we all had our part in destroying that kid 's life . claudia : well , look , maybe michael 's going to wake up . nikolas : in what ? five , 10 years ? come on , that kid was robbed . do n't you think we should pay for that in some way ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : just think about it objectively . you and dante are not gon na be winning any popularity contests anytime soon . i mean , half this town hates you guys for sending michael to prison . in dante 's case , he 's got you and olivia and ... well , that 's it . and you 've got one or two friends left . but you 're not doing that much better . lulu : your point ? maxie : you guys kind of need each other right now , even if it 's just to have someone to eat with . i do n't see the point of bringing up baggage . that 's not really an issue if it 's just gon na drive a wedge between the two of you guys . if you think dante is gon na have a bad reaction to your abortion , just do n't tell him . lulu : what about honesty ? maxie : ugh . lulu : oh , wow . well , it 's kind of a priority for us , because `` a , `` it comes with the whole `` i love you `` package , and `` b , `` it 's preventative , because secrets have a way of oozing out from whatever rock you 've hidden it under , usually at the time when it can inflict the worst possible emotional damage . and secrets create walls . by definition , they leave someone out . and dante and i love each other , and there should n't be something that we could say about our past that would destroy it . maxie : that 's a really nice theory , but i do n't know about practical . lulu : you did hit a nail , though . i mean , we 're not on anybody 's buddy list , and ... a lot of people know about my abortion . if dante finds out from someone else , his reaction would be way worse . i think i got ta tell him . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , i want a complete profile on brook lynn -- where she lives , the status of her music career , her financial situation . most likely , she has a trust fund from edward . and she certainly has a taste for expensive clothes . wow . spinelli : she is quite beautiful . carly : she is . so are her parents . bensonhurst puts out lots of dimples . spinelli : dimples ? carly : never mind . see if you can any more pictures of dante with brook lynn . spinelli : yes . i shall . carly : thanks . i 'll wait here . spinelli : um , valkyrie , i -- i know that this investigation has to do with your plan of revenge against the duplicitous detective , but i fail to see how an old neighborhood friendship is relevant . i mean , dante and lulu came together as adults with pasts -- as in , you know , behind them . carly : mm - hmm . that 's the thing , spinelli . the past has a nasty way of catching up to you . i 'm just gon na give it a nudge in the right direction . [ scene_break ] maxie : it 's your deep , dark secret . you get to decide what to do with it . however , if you feel you need to dump all of this on poor unsuspecting dante , at least pick the right setting . lulu : setting ? maxie : yeah . well , jake 's is out . but you will want alcohol within reach , so maybe the metro court ? lulu : i 'm gon na tell dante about my abortion in public . maxie : that way he ca n't make a scene . lulu : dante should be able to make a scene if he wants to . that 's the whole point . when 2 people come together in love , it 's because it 's the one place you can be your authentic self . maxie : that 's kind of beautiful . okay , fine . but at least test the waters first . i mean , abortion is a tricky subject . i do n't know . which one do you think ? lulu : i have to dress a certain way now ? maxie : no , not for you , for me . i want to inspire passion without being too obvious . lulu : spinelli does n't care what you wear . maxie : i 'm not dressing for spinelli . not directly , anyway . lulu : oh , maxie . what are you doing ? hi , matt . matt : hello . lulu : let me guess . you 're here for kate ? matt : no ! this one . your message -- intriguing . not very enlightening . do i wear a suit ? lulu : excuse me . matt : yes ? lulu : we 're just gon na go ... in there . there are some lovely pictures you can take a look at for one minute . maxie ... are you insane ? spinelli must be freaking out about jason being in prison . you should be at home with him . maxie : okay . spinelli is beyond freaking out . he 's downright depressed , and i need to shake him out of it . lulu : how does matt fit into this ? maxie : i 'm gon na let matt take me out . spinelli will get jealous , snap out of his funk , and reclaim me . lulu : oh , my god . this is -- you know what ? whatever . i got ta go . just do n't say i did n't warn you , 'cause this is gon na backfire all over you . you can come back . matt : oh .

[ scene_break ] lulu : i hope that you believe me , spinelli . i know that you 're upset with dante , but he had no idea that michael was gon na be sentenced to prison . he 's a cop . he knows the system . and based on that knowledge , he had every reason to believe that judge carroll would give michael a suspended sentence . spinelli : well , instead , he used michael as a scapegoat to punish those who covered up the crime . lulu : he knows that michael did n't intentionally kill claudia . he was protecting his sister and his mom . in a sane world , that would be seen as self - defense . but ... i do n't know . unfortunately , it blew up in everyone 's faces , especially michael 's . and dante feels terrible about this . he is working day and night to get michael released . it 's all he can talk about . spinelli : well , i hope dante is successful , because young mr. sir 's skin is not thick enough to survive in prison . i mean , thankfully , he has jason to protect him , but ... who will protect jason ? lulu : what are you talking about ? spinelli : well , the time will come when michael is set free but maybe not jason . i mean , why would the authorities let him go when they finally have what they 've desired for years ? lulu : but i thought jason 's sentence matched up to michael 's . spinelli : they had to appease stone cold to get the rope around his neck , but now that he 's in custody , they can ... let him hang . lulu : that would be awful . spinelli : well , it 's not a matter for your concern , really . you 've made it abundantly clear that your loyalties lie with the one that 's deceived so many . lulu : not me . spinelli : not yet .

[ scene_break ] jason : the other night was , um , sam 's birthday . and i , uh , went to that hotel to see her . elizabeth : sounds like a good start . did you talk about the baby ? jason : no . elizabeth : well , you 're going to have to eventually . i know it 's a lot to process , the fact that franco was your brother and now he 's the father of this child . but none of this -- none of this is the baby 's fault . jason : [ sighs ] elizabeth , i - i know that . but sam and i really have n't had a chance to work through anything about the baby because she keeps putting mcbain in the way . elizabeth : sam 's being emotional . she 's not thinking clearly . and it 's easier to confide in a stranger . when i met ewen , i told him all kinds of things . jason : yeah , but he 's -- he 's a psychiatrist . elizabeth : but i di -- i - i - i did n't know that . i thought he was just a patient at shady brook . jason : you thought he was a patient ? elizabeth : yes . and he did n't know me . he did n't know anything about my family or my life , and it was just simpler . maybe that 's how sam felt when she was talking to mcbain . jason : yeah , maybe . elizabeth : but regardless , does that change how you feel about her ? i mean , do you really -- do you really think it could be over ? jason : i do n't know . i mean , there was this moment the other night when i saw sam , and -- [ sighs ] i just wanted to forget about everything . i - i wanted to move forward and just have -- just have our life back again . elizabeth : but you did n't . jason : i 'd feel the same about the baby . i would by lying if -- if i said that 's changed . [ scene_break ] molly : [ voice breaking ] that 's so horrible what franco did , how he hurt you . sam : hey , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you by telling you all this . molly : no . i 'm so glad you trusted me with what happened . i know it must be really hard for you to talk about . sam : it is . but you know what ? you -- you made me feel a lot better . molly : i did ? sam : yeah . you did . you , my dear , are a very good listener . and i am very lucky to have you as a sister . sam : [ sniffles ] molly : i wish we could travel back in time . sam : [ sighs ] oh , yeah ? [ sniffles ] and where would you go ? molly : i 'd go straight back to your wedding reception . that way , i could stop you from leaving . you 'd never go to hawaii , and none of this would have ever happened . sam : [ sighs ] would n't that be nice ? molly : yeah . you and jason were so happy that day . [ sniffles ] sam : yeah . we sure were .

[ chuckles ] t.j. : i was telling you that i got a test tomorrow . shawn : well , what are you waiting for ? just go upstairs and start studying . sorry about that . okay . we were talking about you . carly : mm - hmm . how i expected jax to forgive me , but i do n't know if i can forgive johnny ? shawn : do you want to forgive him ? carly : all i can think about is walking in on him with another woman , so -- shawn : well , i did n't ask you that . what i 'm saying is , i mean , you still got to have feelings for the guy or you would n't be carrying around that bracelet . carly : i 'm not carrying around the bracelet . i threw it in the trash . shawn : then i guess you made your decision . [ scene_break ] johnny : come on ! what are you waiting for ? ! pull the trigger and let it be over with ! anthony : why are you so eager to die ? johnny : least i 'll be away from you ! anthony : [ chuckles ] you know , i 'm not buying this whole fairytale . claudia makes like hamlet 's father , tells you to avenge her , and you decide to off your old man ? johnny : oh , what ? you do n't believe i would ? anthony : because your sister told you to -- johnny : mother ! anthony : mother , sister ! either way , there were plenty of times when claudia wanted to let me die . couple of occasions where she tried to make it happen , and you always stopped her . johnny : yeah , to my everlasting regret . you 're a miserable waste of skin . you should have been dead years ago . and i finally had my opportunity to do it , and i could n't wait . [ scene_break ] lulu : no . there 's no way that kate would ever touch a gun , much less use it to kill anthony zacchara . dante : i do n't know . you did n't think she would attack her shrink , did you ? lulu : well , she hit him with a paperweight , which is pretty bad , but it 's a far cry from shooting out someone 's tires on a moving car at night on a winding road . dante : that is a difficult shot , but maybe kate has some hidden talents . lulu : well , why would she frame sonny ? she loves him . dante : i - i know she loves sonny . i - i believe that . but this case is still unsolved . i have to investigate every possible angle . lulu : well , do you have any other leads ? dante : sonny 's convinced it 's johnny . lulu : and what do you think ? dante : johnny had the strongest motive . he has access to people capable of doing this . he was capable of doing this himself . that makes him the prime suspect . [ scene_break ] johnny : i knew you 'd be running for your life , and i had no time to waste . so i left my nice , warm bed next to my nice , warm woman , grabbed my gun , and set off after you . first stop was the quartermaines ' . anthony : sure . why not play the percentages ? johnny : yeah , i got there just in time to see you sling your suitcase into your trunk . you took off , and i followed you . i was that jerk behind you on that really dark road with his brights on . took a couple of shots and then got the hell out of there . anthony : you did n't want to check your handiwork ? johnny : no . i figured you 'd hit a tree or go over the embankment . that is , until you showed up here the next day begging me for a place to hide . anthony : if you did all this , and that 's a big `` if , `` why do n't you tell me how the gun ended up in kate 's office ? [ scene_break ] sonny : kate and i , we -- we made love . i needed to be with her . and then she said something to me , like she needed to go to work . was that her or was that you ? connie : no , that was her . but i was there waiting . you see , and i took over , and i planted the gun . see , everyone would figure that it just fell out of your pocket when you and kate were going at it . before you could say `` d.i.d . , `` sonny corinthos was arrested . sonny : so , you did all that to hurt me ? connie : [ scoffs ] please do n't flatter yourself . i was doing that to keep you from hurting kate . sonny : no , you 're the one who 's hurting kate , because she 's -- she 's , uh , she 's locked up in here because of you , right ? connie : yeah , i can get her out of that . sonny : a murder charge ? if she 's convicted , the rest of her life is ruined . you know what i mean ? just like those two innocent people . connie : collateral damage , sonny . sonny : yeah ? connie : yeah . sonny : collateral damage ? is that what it is ? huh ? an innocent girl and her father , they were innocent . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . their blood is on your hands . [ scene_break ] molly : you okay ? you want some ginger ale ? sam : oh . thank you . molly : do you remember that time i asked you if love was a lie ? sam : oh , you mean when you asked me if love was like unicorns and magic ? molly : well , to be fair , i had extensive empirical data . sam : yes . you had sonny and carly and jax and brenda and -- molly : exactly . all these people were supposed to be so happy together , but they were making each other miserable . except for you and jason . [ voice breaking ] he really loves you , sam . and do n't you think that once the baby 's born and jason actually holds it , he 'll love it , too ? sam : yeah , i think jason wants to love the baby . but , molly , this baby is a constant reminder for him . molly : of what franco did to you ? but that 's not your fault or the baby 's . sam : i know , but the baby is a reminder of the fact that jason could n't protect us from franco . molly : but you said franco drugged him and locked him in a room . sam : yeah , he did . molly : well , so , there 's nothing jason could have done . sam : i know that , but -- but jason , he 's got this instinct to protect the people around him . and with this baby , he knows that he could n't do that . molly : but that does n't make sense . i mean , you and jason went through hell in hawaii , and you survived it . your love is like magic and unicorns . it 's epic . sam : [ sighs ] molly : that has to count for something . sam : i wish i had your faith . molly : well , you 're the one who helped me find it , so maybe now i can return the favor . sam : okay . it 's worth a try . [ chuckles ] looks like i 'm gon na miss my lamaze class after all . molly : you do n't have to . i could be your coach . sam : you would really want to do that for me ? molly : you 're my sister , sam . there 's nothing i would n't do for you . sam : get over here . thank you . [ scene_break ] dante : what are you thinking ? lulu : [ chuckles ] i 'm just trying to figure out if johnny 's really changed that much since i knew him . dante : maybe you did n't know him as well as you thought you did . lulu : i always thought that johnny was loyal to anthony deep down . he would make excuses for him . he would defend him . i just ca n't see him trying to kill him . dante : you did n't see him the night of the benefit when sonny told the entire room that claudia was his mother . lulu : but would n't that give him motive to shoot your dad ? dante : he was furious at sonny and anthony both . johnny was out for blood that night , and it 's not a stretch to assume that he found it . [ scene_break ] johnny : you want to know why i dumped the gun in kate 's office ? anthony : yeah . johnny : i was driving home , happy that i was finally rid of you , and i thought i could be rid of sonny at the same time . all i got to do is frame him for your murder . anthony : why not drop the gun at sonny 's house ? johnny : a - ha . see , i thought of that . but there were too many guards around given the -- the night 's events . besides , i wanted the gun to be discovered . the cops would need a warrant to get into sonny 's house . anthony : so you planted it in his girlfriend 's office ? johnny : yeah , i heard max and milo talking about how sonny set out looking for her . the logical choice would be her office . sonny : kate ? [ sighs ] [ grunts ] johnny : sonny implicated himself by hooking up with kate in the very same spot that very next day that the gun could have fallen out . anthony : fine . you left the gun in kate 's office . where did you go after ? johnny : where else ? home . and that 's the whole truth . and nothing but . [ scene_break ] sonny : you take it on yourself to destroy my relationship ? to frame me for a crime i did n't commit ? a child was dead . a child ! you call that collateral damage ? connie : you left me no choice ! sonny : you call me dangerous , huh ? you call me a killer ? you think i am ? two innocent people are dead because of you ! connie : no !

[ scene_break ] lulu : there 's no chance that you 're being influenced by sonny just a little 'cause he saved your life and you guys are in a better place ? dante : does n't mean i 'm gon na take his word that johnny 's guilty . lulu : well , he does n't like johnny , and you do n't like him very much , either . dante : johnny 's a little bit messed up , okay ? sometimes he does the right thing , but not so much in the last year or so . his hate for sonny has poisoned him . whatever was good in johnny is long gone now . lulu : well , even if you 're right , there 's no way that he caused the accident or planted the gun , because he was in bed with carly . she testified to that . dante : an alibi 's just like any other story . sometimes they 're true . and sometimes they 're not . [ scene_break ] johnny : i hate that i hurt you . please just give me another chance , and i will spend my life making it back up to you . [ scene_break ] johnny : you believe me . anthony : [ voice breaking ] i raised you , loved you like my own , built up an empire and put it in your hands , and this is the way you repay me ?

'cause you ca n't go banging the bimbo of the moment with all your kids running around the island . sonny : stop it now , morgan . morgan : what , dad ? i mean it . sooner or later , every woman you said you loved -- and even the ones that maybe you were just screwing for that moment -- ended up on that island . so what -- so , what ? what ? is ava just the newest in a long line of sluts ? sonny : hey , watch your mouth . morgan : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . did i overstep there ? sonny : i sent ava away to pro -- to prote -- protect her , so she could be safe from her brother . morgan : oh , yeah . that 's what she said . that 's good , that you guys got your -- your stories straight . sonny : what story are you talking about ? you were there at the gallery -- morgan : i protected her at the gallery ! and then she ran off to your little love shack ! so let 's hope , dad , that she does n't get busy with -- with the freaking pool boy , because she betrayed me , so what 's to stop her from betraying you ? ! ellie : so , you 're kicking us out of our own apartment ? franco : you say that like it 's such a problem . this is portland . like you said , there 's a lot to do -- you can go hiking , you can go get pierced , you can -- you can grow a beard . be an eco - terrorist . what ? carly : oh , stop . stop ! franco : okay . carly : no , you do n't have to leave the apartment , but maybe just the room ? i 'm sorry , but for your sake , you do n't want to hear what 's on this recording . spinelli : yeah , i - i think we can give carly and ... this thing some time alone . ellie : [ sighs ] look , i understand your loyalty to carly , but her choice of companion would imply that she 's completely lost touch with reality . carly : you ready to do this ? franco : getting there , yeah . i mean , i am if you are . carly : [ sighs ] okay . ava : aj , what are you doing here ? aj : i know you did it . i know you killed connie . anna : anything ? okay . go ahead , sam . sam : uh ... he was dressed as a waiter -- dark pants , dark , uh -- dark jacket . anna : yeah , he 's probably ditched that by now . did you see which direction he went in ? sam : well , i followed him through the alley , and then there was a fence . he jumped over the fen -- i - i could n't jump over the fence . i lost him then . anna : all right . so , pass on that description . i want a 10-block perimeter , house - to - house if need be . i want this man found . sam : you really have your work cut out for you . this guy 's a pro . he had a silencer . he knows what he 's doing . anna : well , so do i. i promise you , he wo n't get away with this . sam : but why would anyone do this to lucas ? anna : why , indeed ? julian : just hang on , lucas . you 're gon na be fine . i 'm gon na be right behind you . anna : no , you 're not going anywhere . dante : go , go ! anyone hit ? officer : i got winged . dante : okay , you call it in . this guy 's still alive -- for now . any one of you want to join your pal , here , in the e.r . , you go ahead and make a move . shawn : look , i told jordan to put distance between herself and the jeromes if she just could n't quit altogether , but ... she would n't budge , and then denied she was even involved . tj : well , maybe she could have protected herself if you had warned her that the cops were coming down on her . shawn : i almost did , tj okay , but look , this was a chance for sonny to take down the jeromes and end this war , for me to protect you . i mean , you were almost killed , remember ? and for me to warn jordan would have risked your life , man , and the peace we 're fighting for . i could n't do that . tj : shawn , that 's a bunch of crap . all right ? you would have got out of the business a long time ago if you were worried about me . so do n't tell me you ratted out my mom for my good . this was all out of loyalty to sonny . shawn : no , tj , man . no . i never -- i swear to you , i never wanted this . come on , man . but if the cops are gon na act on the information we gave them , tj , it 's gon na happen . franco : did aj just say -- carly : yeah , he did . he just said that . franco : that 's what i thought he said . carly : if that 's true ... franco : we need to hear the rest of this . carly : okay . aj : i remember what happened between me and connie . yeah , i wanted to shoot her . i did . but i did n't do it 'cause i could n't bring myself to . so when i left her office , she was still alive . that means somebody else , they went in there and they did it , and that person is you . ava : you 're grasping at straws . aj : really ? 'cause i do n't think so . unh - unh . as a matter of fact , i think this all adds up . you know , you put my prints on the gun , and then you planted the gun on my family 's property , and then you destroy the security footage , which shows that you killed connie . ava : you 're not telling that story to anyone . aj : so it 's true , then . sonny did n't send that ... that guy to my place to kill me . it was you . ava : and yet , here you are . aj : well , you know what they say -- finding good help is so hard these days . ava : you know what else they say ? if you want something done right ... [ gun cocks ] ... do it yourself . aj : so , what , that 's -- that 's it ? you 're just gon na shoot me in cold blood like you killed connie ? ava : killing connie happened in the moment . there really was n't any time to think . sadly , aj , your death has been in the cards for quite a while . aj : why ? 'cause of -- 'cause of that article she wrote about kiki ? i mean , 'cause she -- she somehow screwed you out of a shot at elq ? ava : oh , for god 's sake , aj , i did n't kill connie because of that stupid article . aj : then why ? ! ava : the twit had fallen ass - backwards onto the truth about my brother . she was on the verge of telling sonny that derek wells was julian jerome . well , i certainly could n't let that happen . sonny : i do n't care about ava betraying me , 'cause there 's nothing to betray . what happened at the funeral was a one - time thing . we 're not together . it 's not gon na happen again . it was business . morgan : [ scoffs ] you think -- you think i 'm mad 'cause you 're working with her ? what are you -- what are you thinking ? i set that up . i brought her to you , and you wanted nothing to do with her . sonny : she 's an informant . her brother 's gunning for her . that 's it . i 'm trying to protect the asset . morgan : i 'm sorry -- you were trying to protect her ? sonny : yes , i -- morgan : really ? ! really -- that 's what you were doing ? 'cause to me , it looked like you were banging her brains out , dad ! something big must have happened there , dad , for you guys to go from basically enemies to the exact opposite . or did you -- did you just break my heart for fun ? why are n't you talking ? ! did you break my heart for fun ? ! sonny : no ! morgan : then why did you do it ? ! sonny : you killed the woman that i love ! aj : no , no , i did n't . no , i did n't . listen , if you 'll just put the gun down , i can explain . i can make you understand . ava : he 's going to kill me . aj : shut up ! do n't listen to her ! sonny : who do i listen to ? ! i 'm done listening to you ! i 'm done ! aj : i did n't kill connie ! it was -- [ gunshot ] carly : [ exhales deeply ] okay . well , it 's true . we heard it in ava 's own words . franco : ava killed connie . carly : and sonny has no idea . carly : ha ! it all makes sense . it all makes sense -- everything that seemed off before -- like -- like , what was aj doing in ava 's apartment to begin with ? he was n't there trying to get a job with the jerome mob . no ! he was there because he almost went to prison for the rest of his life for a murder that ava committed . franco : aj was just about to talk , right ? carly : yeah . franco : sonny screwed up -- shot him too soon . carly : because sonny hates aj i mean , he pulled the trigger because he thought aj killed connie , but ava was the murderer . franco : mm - hmm . it 's no wonder ava was so worried . if aj had woken up , everyone would know that she shot connie . carly : that 's right , and i was right . ava was n't protecting sonny . she was protecting herself . franco : you were right , were n't you ? spinelli : oh -- oh , god . if we might tiptoe through ? ellie : yeah , the baby needs a bottle . excuse me . franco : needy baby . carly : uh , it 's okay . you know what ? uh , we are , uh -- uh -- [ chuckles ] well , not really finished -- finished here . spinelli : well , i hope the recording was enlightening . franco : [ chuckles ] are you kidding , dude ? we 're a couple of buddhas . morgan : w - why would -- why would you do this to me ? sonny : it 's over . why do n't we just move on to the next thing ? morgan : for you , it 's over , dad , but i lost her , and i lost you . sonny : you 're never gon na lose me , 'cause i 'm your father . morgan : you took the one good thing in my life without even thinking twice about it . [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] and i hate you for that . i hate you . and you 're my dad . i do n't even -- i do n't even know what this -- i do n't even -- sonny : what can i do ? what can i do ? tell me -- to make it right . tell me . morgan : you can explain to me why you had to have ava . sonny : well , it does n't -- it 's not gon na do any good . morgan : just tell me . what could be harder to say than what you 've already had to admit ? sonny : you want me to tell you ? i 'll tell you . shawn : look , tj , i wanted to stop jordan from dealing with the jeromes . i did everything i could to get through to her , but nothing worked . i had one option left . i threatened to tell you about what she was doing -- well , what she 's still doing . tj : so you tried to blackmail her ? shawn : no , i hoped to shame her into changing her ways . tj : right . shawn : it was a last resort , tj , okay ? i knew you were gon na be hurt , but -- but i knew you 'd be worse off if you lost your mother -- if she got caught , and i was n't able to shield you this time . tj : so , what happens now , shawn ? am i supposed to thank you ? shawn : okay , um ... there 's , um -- there 's something else that i need to tell you . tj : what more could there be ? shawn : it would destroy him to find out that you 're dealing right under his nose . jordan : i told you -- i am not involved in that . shawn : i do n't believe you . jordan : if you tell my son the truth about me ... i 'll be forced to tell him the truth about you . shawn : what truth are you gon na tell tj about me ? jordan : the truth about how his father really died . shawn : you mean you -- jordan : you know what i mean . friendly fire -- there was n't anything friendly about what happened between you and tommy . shawn : okay , um ... look , uh , i never wanted to have to tell you this ... tj : you know what ? then do n't , all right ? i do n't want to hear anything else about my mother . shawn : tj , man , where you going ? tj : away ! out of here ! i ca n't do this .

[ exhales deeply ] i did it for love . you did it for ... why ? sloane : i know what duke meant to you . anna : that 's it ? sentimentality got the best of you ? sloane : no , i - i - i - i put myself in your position . i would n't have done anything differently . anna : that would be funny if it was n't so sad . no , i am now ... the kind of person that i set out to destroy -- sonny , julian , carlos , even . `` do n't take the law into your own hands . `` like a broken record . and now i 'm a murderer , and you covered it up . sloane : a cover - up that could have been blown the first night , considering , um , we could have been caught by elizabeth webber . [ scene_break ] jake : yeah , i just hope hayden comes out of this okay . elizabeth : even if she does wake up , who 's to say she 'll remember ? jake : [ inhales deeply ] she did say that someone else out there knows who i am . maybe they 'll have a change of heart and come forward . you never know . [ scene_break ] sam : shower work its magic ? patrick : wish i could say yes . even more so , i wish i could have done more for hayden . sam : patrick , there really was n't much that you could do . she was in really bad shape when she got to you . patrick : well , that 's -- that 's exactly it , is n't it ? i mean , she should n't have been in that position in the first place . just another senseless mob- fueled tragedy in this town , and i 'm sick of it . i 'm sorry . sam : no , no , no , no . patrick : i 'm not judging jason , just -- sam : yes , yes , you are , and it 's okay . it 's the life he chose and the rules he played by . it 's not for everyone . i 'm -- i 'm actually grateful it 's not for you . patrick : i guess i just do n't understand . sam : what , how he could do it , or how i could live with it ? patrick : both . it 's one thing for jason to not care whether he lived or died , but all the innocent people in the middle -- the people that do care ... sam : [ sighs deeply ] patrick : i feel terrible for danny . sam : yeah , i feel terrible for danny , too . he 's never gon na know his father . but i - i - i also feel like he 's not gon na have to grieve for him , either . i 've thought about 10 years down the line , and i think to myself , maybe it is a blessing that it happened when it did . patrick : well , i do n't think it 's much of a blessing for hayden right now . sam : a coma . i mean , hayden may not be able to tell jake what she knows . [ scene_break ] jake : i went outside to see who was shooting . sam stayed inside with hayden , who was still conscious . hayden said there was someone else who knows who i am . elizabeth : jake , she was shot in the head . it 's doubtful she had any idea what she was saying . jake : yeah . that 's ... [ sighs deeply ] true , i guess . i do n't ... i do n't even know if i want to know anymore . i mean ... [ chuckles ] do i want to know who i am , even if i 'm not gon na remember ? or is it better just to -- for the people that i left behind , if they even exist , just to -- just to let 'em go ? let me go ? elizabeth : before hayden knocked on the door and started lying , you had said that you wanted to stop searching , that you were ready to move forward and just be who you are now . you were happy . maybe if you can find a way back to that place , we can be happy together . jake : [ sniffs ] [ grunts ] no , we ca n't . [ scene_break ] julian : do you know i never even got to hold him ? my son will never know what it 's like to be held in his father 's arms . i just do n't know what to do with that kind of regret . alexis : you sit with it . there 's nothing else you can do . you just have to feel the loss . julian : you just want me to sit here alone ? alexis : [ inhales sharply ] i ca n't stay . julian : why ? alexis : how do you expect me to listen to you talk about a life that might have been ? duke had a life . he had dreams . he had family . he had people he loved , people he could n't fathom living without , and he 's dead because of you . julian : [ whispers ] alexis . alexis : you said it was business , and to you , that justifies things . to me , it does not . and that 's why i need to leave . julian : no . no . please do n't go . i need you to stay . and if all it costs me ... if all it costs me is a business that 's been a curse to me since the day i was born , i can live with it . alexis : you need to say that again . i think i misheard . julian : i 'm done with organized crime . alexis : i do n't believe you . julian : because i 've lied to you about leaving the mob before . alexis : several times . you need to hear me when i tell you how sorry i am about your son . and i do n't want to add to any more of your pain , so just let me go . julian : it 's because i lost my son -- my baby boy -- that i can say this and mean it . i am finished , alexis . i do n't want to lose any more -- any more people that i love . i do n't want to watch lucas get shot again . i do n't want to worry that next time it 's gon na be sam or kiki . i do n't want you to leave , because you love me but despise the business . screw the business . it destroyed my father . it destroyed both my sisters . hell , it even destroyed duke lavery . i 'm not gon na let it destroy me . i 'm getting out . [ scene_break ] sam : i was wondering how my baby brother 's doing . it 's so strange . i 'm still trying to get used to the idea that i have a sibling that is younger than my son . patrick : i thought you were going to see him after duke 's funeral . sam : yeah , i , um , i thought i was , too , but ... something came up . patrick : did it have anything to do with jake ? we said we were gon na talk about him . to be honest , sam , i need to know why you were in the line of fire when somebody was trying to kill him . [ scene_break ] jake : i 'm sorry . i ca n't see you anymore . elizabeth : if you 're so worried about me and the boys , i sent them to gram 's for a few days just in case . if sonny comes back after you , then they 're gon na be safe . jake : that 's smart . that 's very smart . it 's unnecessary . elizabeth : okay , so , you agree . we can find a way to protect them and still be together . jake : this ca n't work . elizabeth : [ whispers ] do n't say that . jake : it 's not gon na work . elizabeth : do n't ... say that . jake : i 'm not gon na be here . i ca n't be here . elizabeth : what ? jake : i 'm going to prison . elizabeth : what do you mean prison ? for killing duke lavery ? jake : yeah . elizabeth : i thought you said the police did n't have enough evidence to charge you . jake : they do n't . elizabeth : you 're not gon na turn yourself in . jake : i 'm not gon na -- elizabeth : jake ! no , you ca n't -- you ca n't do that . just because you feel guilty about what happened to hayden does n't mean you -- you should confess . jake : i 'm not confessing to duke 's murder . elizabeth : then i do n't understand . why are you saying you 're going to pentonville ? jake : it 's because of the deal that i have with sloane . [ scene_break ] anna : jake could have been killed tonight . he really has n't done anything , other than have the misfortune of being involved with you . sloane : how quickly we go from gratitude to loathing . anna : yeah , look , you were my savior tonight , and i am grateful , but that does not excuse your treatment of your informant . sloane : i positioned him closer to julian jerome . anna : i know . to take the rap for carlos . i get it . in theory , it works . but in reality , you have made him a target , and that is not right , the same way it is not right that i have put jordan 's neck on the line . i am so lucky that she 's not dead . sloane : i might not get so lucky with doe . i get it . anna : yeah , well , sonny tried to kill him . sloane : [ sighs deeply ] anna : maybe he 'll try again . sloane : we do n't have to worry about that tonight . can i get you another drink ? anna : no . sloane : how about something to eat ? anna : come on . you have done a lot for me tonight , above and beyond the call of duty . but ... there 's still one more favor i need to ask you . [ scene_break ] sabrina : could n't hurt to call anna , right ? just ask her what 's going on with carlos . michael : look , i - i - i 'm sure if there was something concrete , she 'd reach out , you know , which makes me think she 's in the middle of the investigation . sabrina : and she did just lay duke to rest today . michael : give it till morning , okay ? besides , our food 's waiting , and ... [ sniffs ] it smells incredible . sabrina : [ chuckles ] what ? no , i was just thinking about aj . you know how she always crinkles up her nose every time she 's , like , smelling a new food ? michael : yeah , she 's like ... sabrina : yeah , just like that . [ laughs ] michael : remember when we got her to try pureed beets the first time ? sabrina : oh , god . `` try `` is a stretch . we barely got those things past her mouth before she spit 'em all out at us . michael : yeah , i still have not gotten that stain out of my shirt , by the way . i think i 'm gon na charge her for my dry - cleaning bill . sabrina : aw . okay , so , are you ready to try an authentic puerto rican meal ? michael : um , i am a little nervous . i might need you to walk me through it . sabrina : oh . [ scene_break ] [ kiki & morgan make out in her room ] [ scene_break ] sam : i overheard dante and nathan west talking after the service . it was the night duke was shot . and , um , nathan found jake at the metro court in the garage with a gun , over a pool of blood . patrick : duke 's blood . sam : yes , duke 's blood . and the weapon that jake was holding turned out to be the murder weapon . patrick : so what was he doing at the garage ? then why was n't he in custody , locked up at the pcpd ? sam : well , because the police did n't have enough evidence to prove that he was the one who killed him . it 's -- it 's insufficient evidence . but dante and nathan seem to be convinced that jake was the shooter . so , of course , i went to jake to see if it was true , if he killed duke . [ scene_break ] jake : so essentially , i was looking at consecutive life sentences . and that 's where sloane comes in . he got the charges against me dropped , but , uh , he wanted something in return . elizabeth : what do you mean ? jake : evidence , information . anything he could use to make an arrest . the only reason i took that job at the garage is so i could inform on jerome . [ scene_break ] alexis : you hate sonny . you 're willing to let him win ? julian : [ sighs deeply ] well , it 's not really a victory if you think about it . sonny 's family 's been pulverized . so sonny 's got -- got all this power in his empty , bloody hands . and you know what ? he 's welcome to it . i do n't want it . alexis : it would be so much simpler to despise sonny . i wish i could . i wish i could despise you . you know , just write you off as bad and just be done with it . julian : [ sighs ] little children play good guys and bad guys . the older we get , the more the lines get blurred . the worst person is capable of good , and the best person can commit a terrible wrong . [ scene_break ] anna : i want you to release a statement to the public saying that there is new evidence that exonerates jake . sloane : and indicts rivera . anna : yeah . sloane : even though the investigation probably will lead right to you . anna : even though . sloane : and expose you as a vigilante . anna : so be it . i mean , i am the one that got us into this mess in the first place . and if i have to take responsibility for it , then i will . sloane : [ laughs ] anna : and do n't worry . no . i will make sure that no one knows of your involvement . i will keep your name out of it at all costs . sloane : i do n't care about that . i care about you . i do n't want you to go to prison for the rest of your life . anna : i appreciate that . yeah , i do . i appreciate the lengths that you have gone to for me tonight . but i - i do n't want jake killed on my watch . i do n't . and certainly not in duke 's name . sloane : jake 's a big boy , you know ? if sonny 's gunning for him , jake can take care of himself . anna : but he should n't have to . he did n't kill duke . carlos did . and do n't forget , we 're not the only ones that know that . sabrina does , too . [ scene_break ] kiki : [ sighs ] that was ... morgan : yeah . i almost forgot how good we were at that . kiki : [ laughs ] almost ? morgan : well ... i mean , you 're kind of hard to forget . kiki : yeah ? that was always one of our strengths , was n't it ? morgan : i think we should fight more . kiki : ah ! what ? morgan : no ? kiki : no ! you were really nasty to me . morgan : okay , i 'm sorry . it 's just , you attacked me about avery , and then i got a little defensive . kiki : yeah . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . morgan : do you really blame me for losing her to michael ? kiki : um , no . i blame myself . i ... i was just feeling really guilty about what i did to avery and michael , and i took it out on you . morgan : yeah , well , i mean , with good ... reason . kiki : we were both at fault , but ... i guess i just needed to clear the air , blow off some steam . morgan : blow off some steam ? is that all this was -- blowing off steam ? so what are we ? what are we ? are we -- are we friends with benefits , divorcees with dividends , or is this just a one - night thing ? kiki : do you want it to be ? morgan : well , i mean , i think it 's pretty obvious that i do n't . kiki : what makes it so obvious ? morgan : what do you mean ? i 've been , like , sending you signals . and i kissed you at the hospital . kiki : oh , that does not count . morgan : why does that not count ? kiki : because i was -- it was after you found out that avery was n't your daughter . it was like a distraction thing . morgan : no , no , it was n't . it was -- it was -- it was -- i was trying to keep my feelings under wrap , and then , you know , i put a lid on them because of ava . and then you were -- you were taking care of avery , and , you know ... kiki : yeah , and then the whole custody suit . we were pretty busy , huh ? morgan : yeah , we were really busy . but then you -- you know , you kissed me at the metro court , and the lid kind of came off and the feelings came back . yeah , i was kind of surprised by how good it felt -- how much i liked it ... like you . morgan : hey , you know what ? i want tonight to be the start of something . i want us to get back together . [ scene_break ] michael : [ inhales deeply ] well , i 'm stuffed . you ? sabrina : are you sure you just do n't have any taste buds left ? michael : you mean thanks to the pepper of peril ? sabrina : [ laughs ] i 'm totally calling it that from now on . michael : yeah , just wait . i 'm gon na work on my threshold for pain , and then i 'm going to own that sauce . sabrina : wow . them 's fighting words . michael : oh , i mean them . sabrina : well , i mean these . [ sighs ] michael , thank you . michael : you 're the one who bought dinner . sabrina : you know what i mean . we were supposed to be on a date , and instead ... michael : look , i 'm having a lot of fun here with you . i do n't see a downside . okay , i like you a lot , sabrina , and i do n't care where we are or what were doing . i just ... [ inhales deeply ] i just like getting to know you better . sabrina : i like that , too . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] anna : how long do you think sabrina is gon na keep quiet ? sloane : as much as we need her to . we 'll explain we 're withholding information as part of an ongoing investigation . anna : and meanwhile , sonny is gon na want payback . he told me so this morning . as long as he believes that jake is responsible for duke 's murder , your informant is n't safe . so , please , just pull him out while you have the chance . sloane : come on , and kill any chance of nailing jerome ? anna : well , how realistic are those chances ? i mean , or is it just your wishful thinking ? sloane : no , jerome 's attitude totally changed when jake stepped up , took the rap for carlos . jake is on the inside now . we 're almost there . anna : almost is n't good enough . do n't you see ? if he dies , it is one more thing on my conscience . i ca n't have that . sloane : and i ca n't have you ... go to prison . anna : well , i should . sloane : no , you should n't . anna : yeah . i mean , you wanted to bust me for holding faison captive . and now i 've taken a man 's life . you need to do it . you have to tell people who duke 's real killer is , and you just let jake go free . sloane : while you 're in a prison cell ? anna : i 'm not afraid . i 'm not . duke 's dead . i honestly do n't care what happens to me anymore . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 've been working for the police this entire time ? jake : that 's what sloane offered -- either jailbird or rat , and i chose a rat . elizabeth : in the jerome organization . jake : we 've been trying to gain his confidence ever since sam got me the job . elizabeth : so you killed duke to prove yourself to him ? jake : no , no , no , no , i did not touch duke . that was carlos rivera . elizabeth : oh , thank god . i - i knew you could -- it could n't have been you . i - i - i mean , i hoped , but then you started to make me believe that it could n't ... i 'm -- i 'm -- why ? jake : because it was sloane 's orders . he wanted everybody to believe that i was guilty for the same reason you just stated . elizabeth : to get in with julian . jake : yeah . elizabeth : [ whispers ] right . god , what is the commissioner thinking ? ! is he crazy ? he should have just painted a target on your back . `` here , jake , go to jail or get killed in a mob war . `` what was the whole point of all this ? jake : there was n't one . seeing hayden bleeding from a bullet meant for me made it all very clear i am done with sloane , even if it means losing you . [ scene_break ] patrick : so what 'd he say ? did jake kill duke ? sam : he swore he had nothing to do with it . patrick : and you believe him ? sam : yes , of course i believe him , but he is the number one suspect . patrick : well , that 's not that hard , considering all the evidence pointing right at him . sam : yeah , i know , and i tried to convince him to clear his name . i told him that if -- if he did n't , that sonny was gon na come after him , but he did n't wan na hear anything about that . patrick : sam , this is insane . sam : what ? patrick : if he 's not guilty , why is he trying so hard to prove to everybody that he is ? [ scene_break ] julian : my business is not an issue . alexis : just like that ? julian : okay , so it 's true that leaving the mob is n't like quitting a - a - a job at the phone company . you do n't -- you do n't just walk to hr , turn in your id , and walk away . alexis : [ chuckles ] damn . you almost had me . i was this close . julian : i just thought that -- i 'm just trying to explain to you the realities here . alexis : mm - hmm . mm - hmm , yeah . let me guess . there 's a transition period , and , i mean , it might be six months . it might be a year or 2 or 10 . julian : it 's gon na take time to extricate myself . i 'm -- i 'm just telling you it 's not gon na be fast or easy , but it 's gon na be final . and when i 'm done with this , i 'm never going back . alexis : and what am i supposed to do in the meantime ? julian : you stay with me . alexis : and just have faith that all of this is gon na happen ? julian : it 's up to you . but stay or go , nothing 's gon na change . i 'm still leaving the business . i 'm turning my back on the jerome legacy . but if you leave , [ sighs ] i 'm gon na be alone tonight with the memory of a child that i never held and my dreams for a life that that baby will never have . alexis : whatever happens , you have to know that i am so sorry that you lost your son . julian : yeah , you -- you told me that i have to sit with it , to ... grieve . i do n't know how to do that . i need your help , alexis . so we 're back to where we started . i 'm asking you to stay with me tonight , not because you approve of me or what i do , but because you love me . can you do that ?

[ sighs ] me , too . michael : yeah . sabrina : yeah , and i guess tonight 's probably not the best night to jump in . although i give you major credit . michael : why 's that ? sabrina : well , i did n't think anything could distract me from this carlos situation , and you managed to . michael : well , momentarily , anyway . sabrina : well ... better than nothin ' .

emily : it 's a chemical imbalance that can be controlled by medication . sonny : there 's nothing wrong with me . emily : well , even if you do have ahemical imbalance , sonny , it does n't mean that there 's anything wrong with you . sonny : ok , hold on , hold on ! tell me why exactly are you so worried ?

emily : and this good mood that you 've been in came out of nowhere . it has nothing to do with what 's really happening in your life . you lost your business . your dearest , most closest friend took it away from you . a woman you care deeply about is terribly injured . carly took both of your kids out of the country with jax . sonny : i 'm happy you 're here . you make me see things in a new way . emily : that does n't explain the maserati or -- sonny : well , the -- emily : wanting to go to vegas , especially with ric . sonny : there are a lot of important things that have changed in my life . i told you , i 'm relieved . i do n't have to -- i do n't have to watch my back anymore . i -- you know , i 'm -- i want to have a little fun ! emily : you just flew into a rage and threw the table over because the pasta sauce was n't perfect . sonny : and i said i was sorry about that ! emily : sonny , you do n't have to say you 're sorry . i 'm just trying to help you here . sonny : yet you ca n't at this point . i 've had a temper my whole life . i 'm sure you 've been warned . it gets worse when i get hit or punched because the i really lose it . i get out of control -- sometimes i do n't even know what i 'm doing . emily : does n't that worry you ? sonny : does n't worry me because i know why it happens . same reason i 'm claustrophobic -- because my stepfather locked me in a closet . he beat the hell out of me . and it was dark in there and i could n't breathe and i could n't get out , so i 'd get mad . and i 'd have that rage and i 'd hold it . i 'd have to hold it inside of me , and sometimes , you know , it comes out and i do n't know -- it just gets the best of me , but it has nothing to do with -- with bipolar or chemical imbalance or -- or whatever you want to call it . emily : sonny ?

sonny helped ? jason : yeah . jason : well , you know , it 's not the same . i mean , i 'm not going to talk about business . all that matters is getting you -- getting you better . sam : just having you here -- best medicine in the world . i am so sorry . jason : for what ? sam : oh . for everything that you 've gone through . i know how scary it is , jason . i can remember just sitting with you when you were sick and watching you breathe . i would talk to you , and i would tell both of us that you were going to be ok . jason : yeah . sam : did you talk to me ? jason : all the time . sam : and i missed it . jason : mm - hmm . sam : what did you say ? jason : what -- what do you mean ? sam : `` what do you mean ? `` i want to hear it , everything . what did you say ? jason : um -- i said that -- that i loved you and i 'm sorry for letting this happen to you . i promised i would keep you safe . i 've got to make sure my life never hurts you again . i tried to tell you what you mean to me , but i could n't really get the words out . does n't matter , anyway -- nothing i say would be -- would be enough . and you have made my life so much better and it almost got you killed -- sam : no . no . stop . stop saying that . hey . it was n't your fault . and if i had to choose between getting shot or you being killed , i would choose this every single time . jason : no , no , never -- sam : do you understand that ?

why did you hide it ? elizabeth : because -- you 're so stressed about money right now and you 're worried about yourister and your father and -- and everything else , and you 're pushing yourself too rd in rehab just to get back to work , a you have enough to deal with . i did n't want to upset you . lucky : i am so sick of you treating me like a child , deciding what i am strong enough to know . patrick : you know , this would be the part that you apologize , and thank your wife for busting butt to hold your family together . lucky : why do n't you stay the hell away from my marriage ! stay the hell away from my wife . robin : why did n't you just give this to nikolas ?

[ scene_break ] skye : what else do i have to do to prove myself to you ? you 've separated me from my daughter , no retaliation , no attempt to find her on my part . i 've explained myself to you , i 've justified every single move that i 've made . i just ran interference for you with that covert ops agent and probably saved your life . does n't that prove my loyalty to you ? lorenzo : yes , it does . skye : then let me say goodbye to port charles . lorenzo : it 's too dangerous . skye : there are some people in this town who still care about me , you know , despite all the things that i 've done to help you . i have an ex - husband , i have a few good friends -- just -- just let me see them one last time . lorenzo : if people realize that we 're leaving , we could all be killed . i 'm not going to take that risk . skye : i have covered for you for months . no one will suspect anything , okay ? i know what i 'm doing . lorenzo : all right . oh , i do n't want you to feel like a prisoner , skye . skye : then do n't treat me like one . lorenzo : if you agree to stay in the house , i 'll bring lila rae to you . skye : when ? lorenzo : soon . then we can all leave for south america together , okay ? [ scene_break ] jax : i told sonny everything -- that jerry 's craig , that he 's been in town for a while , and i want sonny to leave him alone . carly : ca n't imagine how that went over . jax : well , he did n't -- he did n't like it too much . he was more concerned about you . carly : can you blame him ? sonny was there when jerry shot robin for no reason . and he was there and watched alan forced to walk out of our hotel having a massive heart attack . jax : i know what jerry did was wrong , and if i could change any part of that night , i would , but i ca n't . carly : did sonny tell you how jerry 's men beat him ? jax : no . carly : yeah , they took him to a small room and tied him to a chair . and jerry shot max -- max who works for us at the hotel , who drives our boys around wherever they want to go , and who would truly die for me . jax : yeah , i know that -- look , i know that my brother did a terrible thing , but i really believe that whatever trouble jerry was in , it blew up that night with the briefcase . carly : you are rationalizing . jax : yeah , maybe i am . but whatever jerry 's done , he 's still my brother , and i ca n't just turn my back on him . [ scene_break ] jason : this guy took almost everyone that i care about and he held them hostage and nearly killed them . he did kill alan -- you know that . sonny : and you want revenge , i get that . jason : yeah , i want revenge . i want him dead ! that 's what i want . sonny : you 're not thinking clearly . jason : what 's there to think about , sonny ? this guy is dangerous . he was at carly 's house . who knows what he would 've done if i had n't shown up . sonny : craig is jax 's brother . i do n't think he would 've hurt carly . jason : ah , you do n't -- you do n't even know that . sonny : he 's less of a threat than alcazar -- that 's what i want you to focus on . jason : screw alcazar at this point . sonny : think about it . alcazar 's the one who tried to poison me . he arranged the ambush at the cellar . he 's the active threat ! the one that needs to be taken down right now . craig can wait . jason : what if you 're wrong ? what if you 're wrong ? what if craig takes another hostage ? what if -- what if he takes carly ? he did pay a lot of attention to her at the metro court , did n't he ? sonny : carly was engaged to jax 's brother , we just did n't know it . now jerry , mr. craig -- whatever the hell he wants to call himself -- is a psychopath . he needs to die eventually . but right now , alcazar needs to die as soon as we can set it up . can you handle it ? can you do the job ? [ scene_break ] jerry : take a seat , both of you . make yourselves comfortable . we 're going to be here a while . amelia : so you 're -- you 're jerry jacks -- as in jasper jacks ? jerry : bingo . he 's my kid brother . amelia : well , then , why did you hold 15 people hostage in his hotel and then blow it up ? jerry : oh , nosy , nosy . well , the metro court certainly was n't my first choice . i mean , i 'm more of a five - star kind of man , you know . but what could i do ? the briefcase was there . sam : what do you want ? jerry : she 's awfully volatile and naughty , that one , do n't you think ? i need to have a little chat with your brooding boyfriend about all the reasons why he is n't going to kill me . and if you 're not going to sit down , why do n't you fetch that wine you were going to serve your boss . i think we 'd all enjoy a glass . do n't you think ? go . [ scene_break ] jax : jerry , it 's jax . we need to talk , figure out who knows what . so call me as soon as you get this and come back by carly 's house , okay ? carly : i 'm so glad my boys are at sonny 's . jax : do you want us to meet someplace else ? carly : where ? no place is safe with jerry . i know you refuse to believe that , but it 's the truth . jax : can we stop fighting about this ? [ knock on door ] carly : oh . you need to go away . alexis : well , you wo n't have to deal with it because i 'm here to see jax . i want to talk to you about what we talked about before . i want to reinforce something -- that if jerry gets caught , you may very well get charged as his accomplice . sonny : the truth is i do n't believe jax can guarantee his brother 's good behavior any more than i can buy mr. craig reforming himself and playing nice with others . but the thing is , jax believes that he 's going to pull out all the stops to defend his brother . and while he does , mr. craig is going to cooperate . i do n't think he 's going to blow up any buildings , i do n't think he 's going to take anybody hostage , at least for a couple of months , so that buys us time to eliminate alcazar and figure out a way for jax 's brother to die that wo n't come back to bite us . [ scene_break ] jason : what if you 're wrong ? sonny : you know what ; i trust my judgment more than yours on this one . i did n't see my father stumble outside of the lobby doors and have another heart attack . if i had , i probably would n't be thinking clearly myself . alcazar has to die first . jason : but i thought i was supposed to wait for skye to get her daughter back . sonny : i just want you to be ready . i want to help skye . i mean , why would n't i ? but it 's important that alcazar dies clean , quiet , and quick . can you handle it ? jason : yeah , i 'll do my job . i 'm going to do it the way you want . but i want craig dead . sonny : you should want him dead . but you got to be smart . one thing that was true that jax said is , you know , like it or not , we 're all connected . [ scene_break ] emily : hey . is craig around ? nikolas : i have n't seen him . emily : yeah ? hey , well , maybe he 's decided that staying in port charles is n't worth the risk , huh ? nikolas : no . then he would n't have gone to the trouble of framing you for espionage . emily : maybe he needs a little backup insurance . nikolas : just -- i hate this . it 's driving me nuts . emily : nikolas , it 's not as bad as when you were being poisoned . your life is n't on the line every 24 hours , and my fear is manageable . nikolas : yeah . emily : i can push the entire situation to the back of my mind . nikolas : well , that 's until he decides to use his leverage against you . emily : look , craig 's cruel , but he always has a purpose . and if i no longer serve that purpose , then maybe he 's really gone away . [ scene_break ] jerry : you know , i 'd prefer not to return to the life of a permanent fugitive . it gets wearing after a while , and it 's unfair to my brother , you know , for putting his life on hold to bail me out of trouble -- no . amelia : jax did mention something about siberia . jerry : oh . then you know jax . i 'm not surprised . i mean , he has a way to connect with the most beautiful woman amelia : thank you . jerry : yes , you see , james craig was becoming a liability , so -- and i certainly do n't want to waste a perfectly good alibi that could last me a lifetime . excuse me , dear . amelia : you held 15 people hostage for 12 hours in the metro court . they 're going to remember what you look like no matter what your name is . jerry : oh , i do n't know . i mean , whoever -- whoever took these people hostages could easily have been my double , or a sinister master criminal with the same plastic surgeon . i mean , no , i 'm not having the same hairdresser , understand . you know , one size fits all . i mean , there are no prints on file , or no d.n.a . the briefcase blew up . any form of evidence was nicely cleared away and -- and built over . what -- amelia : no ! sam : what are you doing ? jerry : ladies , ladies . the gun . sam : why did you save him ? amelia : i ca n't let you kill another man . [ scene_break ] robin : look , all i want is for you to be honest . patrick : i 've honestly been asking you to move in for months , since before the metro court disaster . robin : because you feel guilty . patrick : why would i feel guilty -- because of a stupid trip to vegas with a buddy of mine ? i 'm over it and you should be , too . robin : i lived here barely 24 hours before you took the next plane to vegas , and then suddenly i 'm shot at the metro court , so obviously you feel like you have to make it up to me by asking me to move in with you . patrick : there 's no connection there , and why are we talking about vegas again ? that was a long time ago . robin : not in noncrisis time , it 's not . patrick : what is that , like daylight savings time ? ro -- we 're great in a crisis . i 'm bleeding on the floor of the metro court lobby , you 're exposed to h.i.v . crisis time , we 're golden . noncrisis time , takeout , great sex , do n't have to be anywhere until 10 : 00 the next morning ? we 're awful at it -- we fight constantly . patrick : you know this is just an excuse for you to walk out . robin : no , it 's reality . we 've survived some very , very tough experiences . i mean , i -- i almost died . but for some reason , you feel obligated to ask me to move in , which is a very big step that you are not ready to take . patrick : okay , you know what ? stop right there . that -- that drives me crazy . you 're not refusing to move in with me because you do n't want to . you 're refusing to move in with me because you think you know what i want better than i do . it 's conniving and contradictory , and obviously you do want to live with me or it would n't be such a big deal . robin : oh . just stop analyzing me for , like , one second . patrick : okay , robin , we are making this way more complicated than it needs to be . we love each other , so we should be together . [ scene_break ] nikolas : it -- it would be so much simpler for him to implicate me for espionage instead of you . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm the one who set up his paperwork . no , he seemed -- he seemed to imply that you would be useful to him outside of the money transfer . emily : right , as leverage against jason . he does n't want my brother hunting him down . nikolas : and that 's okay with you ? emily : nikolas , i refuse to give craig any more power in my life . hey , i want to savor every moment with you . we 're together , we survived . i want to be happy now today instead of worrying about what might go wrong in the future . nikolas : i ca n't pretend that you 're not in danger here . i have to find a way to get rid of craig once and for all . emily : how are you going to do that ? nikolas : i do n't -- i do n't know . but the key is , is to these people who call him sometimes . i -- i do n't know who they are , but he cares about them . [ scene_break ] jax : i am not helping jerry with anything that 's illegal . alexis : he 's a fugitive , jax . you had contact with him already and you did n't alert the authorities . that 's aiding and abetting . jax : what do you expect me to do , alexis ? alexis : i want you to hire me , because at least that way , i can protect you in case he gets apprehended . carly : wow , so what are you going to do , alexis ? do you have a plan ? alexis : that would be confidential if this is official . carly : how did you find out that jerry was mr. craig ? alexis : sonny told me . jax : are you sure you 're strong enough to take this on ? alexis : i am feeling better every day . carly : okay , what about laura ? alexis : what about her ? carly : well , i heard that you were fighting scott baldwin so nikolas could remain laura 's legal guardian . that 's a very important case to my family , so i 'm just wondering which case is going to take priority -- laura or jax ? alexis : i love it when you 're a spencer whenever it suits you . carly : i know what you 're doing , okay ? you are deliberately trying to take on too much , too soon so you can play this whole long - suffering - attorney thing so you can call jax over to your house in the middle of the night for one crisis or another . [ missing ] to jax than i am . alexis : i do n't even know where to start with that . carly : sure you do , because we 've been through this before -- when you were sonny 's attorney ? when you were sonny 's good friend , but what you really wanted was to fall into bed with him ? [ scene_break ] sonny : michael , listen , i do n't want you watching video games with the lights off . i 'll be home very soon -- bye . skye : thank god you 're here . i could n't call . i nearly had to crawl out the bathroom window . sonny : what happened ? skye : lorenzo 's taking me out of the country tomorrow . sonny : what about your daughter ? skye : lorenzo has promised to bring her home so we can all go to south america together . the moment my daughter is in my arms , you can kill lorenzo . [ scene_break ] jerry : i pegged you for a survivor , a woman who would do anything , trample over anyone to save herself , not someone who would habitually kill people , especially in front of her boss . please , i need to know the details . sam : what , it was self - defense . jerry : is n't it always ? what really happened , ms. joffe ? amelia : two men came after sam and jason at the studio a few weeks ago . sam shot and killed one of them . it was clearly self - defense and she may well have saved our lives . i just do n't care to relive the experience . sam : why are you even talking to this guy ? come on , did n't you do your homework at all on the metro court ? do n't you know he is a vicious killer ? jerry : she 's absolutely right . and to prove it , i will blow your head right off if the jackal does n't drop his pool cue immediately . spinelli : uh -- jerry : well done . a valiant effort . please joint the ladies -- now . spinelli : escape while you can , unhinged one . jerry : oh , that 's cute -- `` unhinged one . `` that sounds like a rusty garden gate . spinelli : you 're in the lair of stone cold , okay ? his wrath will be swift and lethal ! jerry : oh , shut up . he 'll be fine when we agree on the price . sam : come on , i told you jason ca n't be bought . spinelli : yeah , stone cold is not for sale . jerry : oh . the lovely amelia knows that everyone can be bought , even jason . [ door opens ] jerry : welcome home , mr. morgan . close the door , drop the gun . we need to go through a few details . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's a dedicated signal . all you got to do is hit send soon as you get lila back . skye : believe it or not , this is a first for me . infidelity , revenge , extortion , blackmail -- that 's all been standard practice . this -- believe it or not , i 've never plotted the murder of my child 's father before . sonny : alcazar had you in harm 's way . right ? let me tell you something -- he had you do this -- his work for him . had you cover for him . and alan quartermaine died , your father , as a result . [ skye sighs ] skye : i made my mistakes . but i 've learned from them . we all do . but now , i have to make sure that my daughter grows up loved and secure , not being used as a pawn in some dangerous game . sonny : skye , you are stopping alcazar before he does any more harm to -- to you , to your child , to anyone else . skye : you make killing lorenzo sound almost noble . but this is just a business for you . sonny : you asked me to wait to kill alcazar until you got your child back . i did that . are you going to hold up your end of the bargain ? skye : i will . [ scene_break ] alexis : these are federal offenses that we 're dealing with . this is life - and- death matters . i do n't have the time or the inclination to -- to go on about your petty jealousies . carly : here we go -- superior alexis , condescending alexis . dealing with matters that are far too complex for trailer trash carly to understand . soon you 'll be needing private meetings with my husband , right ? then making jokes -- jokes always at my expense . and then rolling your eyes every single time i walk in the room . alexis : for god 's sake , carly , you 're being ridiculous ! carly : how long until you start stammering every time you see jax , or when you 're not making long , raging pronouncements about me being selfish or dysfunctional , and how jax would be better off with someone intellectual ? someone that 's , say -- hmm -- like you ? and then you 'll start to hyperventilate one night , and then , what , the two of you fall into bed ? jax : okay , could we not do this now ? because my brother 's in serious trouble . carly : there is no way jerry 's going to let alexis broker a deal for him , or talk him into turning himself in , and she knows that . she 's just trying to make herself indispensable . alexis : i think you 're being just a -- a little paranoid . carly : i do n't care . and i wo n't have it . so , please ask your friend alexis to leave , or i will go stay with my boys at sonny 's . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so the woman i spoke to on the phone sounded older . right ? so maybe it 's his mother . and if it is , he could be -- he could be supporting her , making money transfers . i mean , i have n't -- i have n't seen anything like that , but -- emily : uh - huh . nikolas : but maybe -- maybe i just do n't know -- emily : nikolas ? nikolas : what ? emily : craig is n't home . and we have time together . we have privacy . nikolas : mm - hmm . emily : and i 've missed you so much . nikolas : well , i missed you , too . emily : we 're going to spend the rest of our lives together . nikolas : yeah . and raise spencer with me . have kids of our own ? emily : mm - hmm . nikolas : listen , and i promise -- i promise i 'll never let anything happen to you , okay ? emily : okay . [ scene_break ] jerry : you see , no killer should have people he ca n't bear to lose , and i intend to exploit that weakness . you remember my little insurance ? jason : i 'm not going to let you hurt any of these people . jerry : well , none of these people qualify , i 'm afraid . guess who this is . `` i 'm noble and brave , someone who completely loves you . no judgments , no questions asked . who am i ? `` tick , tick , tick . jason : emily . jerry : bravo ! excellent reasoning . you win . sit down . emily 's fine for the moment , except that she recently opened a swiss bank account and accepted an illegal wire transfer from a hostile nation . that means that your little sister is guilty of high crimes . jason : you set her up . jerry : that 's right . you see , if i die , proof of her guilt will go to the state department , and in this reactionary climate , that means that your little sister will end up in guantanamo before i say `` lawyer . `` you see , i intend to have a happy life , and if i do n't , emily will pay the price . a present . bye- bye . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , just because we want to be together does n't mean that we should n't have boundaries . and please , do n't say that i 'm being obsessive or controlling , because that 's not what this is about . sometimes , boundaries are a good thing . you know , like -- like good fences make good neighbors . patrick : we 're not neighbors . [ robin sighs ] robin : that 's not the point . patrick : no . sorry . robin : see , if -- if everyone is -- is clear at the very beginning , then no one will get their feelings hurt , because it will -- it will just be clear . patrick : you realize that most of our fights start with you making everything perfectly clear ? robin : oh , great . so now we 're back to `` everything 's my fault `` ? patrick : you just said that we 're great in crisis time . it 's the noncrisis , the small stuff that we suck at . robin : small stuff ? how is living together small stuff ? how is dealing with each other on a day - to - day basis small ? i mean , that 's huge . that 's building a life together . that 's -- that is being together . patrick : then why are you pushing it away ? why do you have to clarify and categorize and try and control everything that scares you ? robin : because that 's just how i think . i 'm a research physician . patrick : we 're not in the lab . and you are trying everything to alienate me , but it 's not going to work . because you want to live with me . robin : oh ? patrick : here . in this apartment . day - to - day . crisis time , noncrisis time . we love each other , and you know it . and we are both ready . and underneath everything -- under all the junk that we 're dragging into this , we want to be together . so -- i will wait for you . because you 're worth it .

[ door opens and closes ] jax : what the hell was that about ? carly : i am so sick of her holier - than - thou interference in my life , and it 's getting worse . she talks me down every time she walks out of a room . i 'm sick of it , jax ! jax : she 's a very good lawyer , and i might need her help . carly : fine . hire her . go ahead . but know it has nothing to do with jerry . it is about undermining our marriage that happens to be under a little stress right now . jax : oh , yeah . poor carly . you just -- you married into this -- you know , this horrible situation with my -- with my ex - wife from hell . god knows you did n't bring any troubles to this marriage at all , did you ? carly : so you think i 'm being unfair ? jax : do n't misunderstand . i appreciate that you saved jerry 's life , okay ? but jason -- he shows up here whenever he wants to , as well . he does and he 's very condescending to me . carly : i would n't sleep with jason . that was a long time ago . jax : well , alexis and i have never actually slept together . she 's just a good friend of mine . look -- okay , she can be a little patronizing , and sometimes very rude to you , as well , and i understand . carly : thank you . jax : but she 's not a threat to our marriage , and she never will be . because i love you , and i 'm committed to you . and i will never let anyone -- not -- not jerry , not alexis -- not anyone come between us . [ scene_break ] amelia : well , it 's just as well we never shot that `` at home with a hero `` piece i wanted to do . this whole `` being held at gunpoint `` thing really would n't have n't helped our numbers . sam : i am really sorry . amelia : oh , please do n't apologize . you 're not responsible for what happens at jason 's penthouse . but we do need to discuss your personal situation soon about this . spinelli : well , the driven one no doubt wishes she had produced a show about remodeling kitchens . sam : hmm . jason : are you okay ? sam : i do n't know , jason . i do n't know how mr. craig -- jerry -- whatever he -- i do n't know how he got in here . spinelli : dude , i tried to get a jump on him , but i -- jason : if he shows up again , you just get out and call for help , all right ? spinelli : okay , i 'm sorry -- i 'm sorry i let you down . i -- i -- i let him storm the gates . i let the evil - doer storm the gates . i 'm sorry , i 'm not worthy . i -- jason : look , i already lost alan to that guy . i 'm not going to lose anybody else . spinelli : but what if craig is jerry ? i mean , what -- what if he actually is ? then , i mean , he 's the brother of the valkyrie 's white knight , right ? and if he does hold damning evidence against noble emily -- i mean , what -- what can you do ? [ scene_break ] robin : i forgot to tell you something . patrick : if it involves the words `` boundaries `` or `` relationship , `` please reconsider . robin : no , i wanted to tell you that -- [ robin sighs ] robin : you make me really happy . truly , deeply happy . happier than i 've been in a really long time . and for that , i thank you . patrick : you know that happiness thing -- it goes both ways . do you think maybe we could go to my bed ? or do we have to stay on the couch so you can pretend you do n't live here ? robin : no , the bed sounds good . but i might have to leave in the morning . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : asegurate que este listo para viajar . inmediatamente . skye : ooh . lorenzo : hey . skye : that sounds promising . lorenzo : you 've been in the bath all this time ? skye : yeah . after that meeting with that covert ops agent , i needed to relax . i will miss that bathtub , let me tell you . that marble floor . the view outside that bathroom . you can see the lights of the city and the harbor . lorenzo : so you were n't always miserable here ? skye : i was hoping to live in this house for a long time . believe it or not , i was very happy . lorenzo : thank you . i 'm glad to hear that . skye : when i think about how different my life was when i first came to port charles -- i was angry , bitter , looking for revenge . always coming in second with family and lovers -- husbands . but i 'm leaving port charles with so much more than i ever could have imagined . and i 'm in love . lorenzo : how can you after all that 's happened ? skye : i never expected perfection . and it 's been tough at times , but look at how much you 've given me . a child that i never thought i could have . and a chance at a fresh start . lorenzo : it 'll be that for both of us . skye : everything that we 've been through just puts everything in perspective . i finally know that i would give up my life to protect lila . now i know that you would , too . [ scene_break ] sonny : skye 's going to call as soon as the kid 's in the house . just be ready , jason . then we 'll discuss what to do about jerry tomorrow . bye . i -- i understand you met with jerry jacks -- james craig -- i do n't know what he calls himself amelia : until i moved to port charles , i lived and died by ratings . my real life was never actually at risk , unless you count a couple of cab rides in manhattan . but since choosing sam as my new star , i 've been held at gunpoint three times . sonny : maybe you need a new -- new star . amelia : i think that 's a remarkable thing -- believing that you 're going to die . all of your senses are heightened . everything comes into complete focus . when it 's over , when you realize you 're going to live -- [ amelia sighs ] sonny : you only want one thing ?

[ scene_break ] luke : you know that offer you made to go in the back room and find something to do ? this would be a good time to follow through . ethan : all right . i 'll get out of your way . if you and holly are my parents , she 's kept it a secret for over 20 years . now i 'd think long and hard before you run out on the wife who puts up with you at considerable personal expense for a woman you ca n't trust to tell you the sky is blue . tracy : hmm , wise beyond his years . and genealogy . luke : yeah . too smart , too aloof . i do n't think he is my spawn .

[ scene_break ] johnny : you know , at first , i was n't thrilled to see connie , but it turns out -- i had to hear what she had to say . connie : i got to get out of here . johnny : no , no , i do n't see that happening . connie : why ? johnny : 'cause from what i understand , you 've done a lot of damage . dr. keenan 's in i.c.u . connie : what was i supposed to do ? he was going to have us committed to shadybrook . johnny : yeah , instead , you 're being held here on assault charges . connie : well , i would have been on my way on the airplane if jason had n't grabbed me . johnny : oh , i 'm really sorry that did n't work out for you . connie : look -- can you help me ? can you get me out ? johnny : i do n't see how that 's going to work . connie : come on , j . come on . smart guy like you ? you can think of something . come on , they 're going to have someone come in here and hypnotize me again . johnny : yeah , my advice to you -- cooperate . connie : [ scoffs ] johnny : you and kate could benefit from some therapy . connie : yeah , well , you know what ? she 's whining and moaning that i shot out anthony 's tires , which i most definitely did not do . johnny : maybe you should tell them you did . the idea came to me right away . best one i ever had . [ scene_break ] kate : the gun was mine ? the gun was connie 's ? sonny : kate . you got to be strong here , kate . i got -- i got connie to tell me everything . the night that you walked out on me , and i got shot , she knew you would take me back . kate : she -- she put me in that wedding dress to remind me of the danger . sonny : and she used my vendetta against anthony to set me up . kate : because she knew you 'd go after him . sonny : and she went after him when he was going to the airport . kate : she shot at him . i shot at him . i ca n't -- believe i really did that . sonny : i 'm having a hard time believing it , too . [ scene_break ] johnny : you know , at first , connie was n't really on board with the plan . took a little convincing . connie : what are you talking about ? i did n't take the shot at anthony . why would i say that i did that ? johnny : because sonny is on the fence about kate right now , right ? connie : yeah . johnny : it 's only a matter of time before he forgives her . and then kate is going to blame the whole assault on dr. keenan on you , and kate is going to grow stronger and stronger with sonny 's love and support . connie : yeah , 'cause he 's a freakin ' idiot , and she ca n't get out of her own way . johnny : kate 's going to be cured , right ? and she and sonny , they 're going to live happily ever after , and you ? you 're going to be gone . connie : whoa , i ai n't going nowhere . no one 's getting rid of me that easily . what ? johnny : your plan this entire time was to get kate out of sonny 's life , right ? connie : yeah , okay . so you tell me to confess to something that i did n't do ? johnny : no , listen -- sleeping with me was n't enough of a betrayal . but if sonny thinks that you framed him for murder , that you shot out anthony 's tires , caused that accident , and then you planted the gun , he 's going to be done with kate forever , and you -- you 're going to be free . connie : no . no , because even if alexis can plead that case for insanity , i 'm going to be stuck in shadybrook . johnny : so you stay there for a little while . it 's not prison . you pretend to be cured and you get out . and then you go start a life of your own somewhere . connie : without sonny . johnny : you asked for my help . here it is . huh ? connie : huh ? that could work . johnny : it could . so , all that 's left now is for connie to take my advice . and i got a pretty good feeling she will . [ scene_break ] kate : connie confessed . she tried to destroy you . she shot at anthony 's car . and he slid into oncoming traffic . he forced another car through the guardrail . that little girl and her father ! i killed them . it 's my fault . it 's my fault . [ scene_break ] mcbain : and jason morgan -- that 's the hubby -- he 's sonny corinthos ' business associate , which i guess is a nice way of saying he 's the muscle . i 've also been told he 's lethal , but -- like a lot of people in this town , never convicted of anything . téa : huh ! are you sure it 's a good idea to be hanging out with this lethal guy 's pregnant wife ? mcbain : i do n't really care about him , but i think that he thinks that , um -- my friendship with sam has caused some of his marital problems . téa : well , it 's not your fault he 's jealous , but if his wife insists on stopping by your hotel room all the time , it 's understandable he might feel that way . mcbain : no , it 's complicated . this started long before i came to town . téa : well , judging from the way she reacted when i , uh , congratulated her and her husband on the pregnancy , i 'm guessing the problems have something to do with the kid ? mcbain : like i said , complicated . let 's just leave it at that . [ scene_break ] sam : are you saying that you want to raise this baby together ? jason : sam , i want to . and i 'm -- i 'm sorry , but -- living with franco 's baby is just -- it 's just still too hard for me to accept . sam : and there 's no chance you 're going to change your mind ? jason : i do n't -- i do n't -- i do n't know . i mean , you moved out so fast that we did n't get a chance to talk about anything , about any alternatives . sam : alternatives ? jason : yeah , a way that we could -- we could still be together . sam : are you saying you want to put this baby up for adoption ? jason : i -- i do n't know . i 'm just saying that there 's people out there who would love the baby , who would n't judge the baby , and that 's what this baby deserves . sam : i -- i did , jason . i thought about it for a second . i really did . i thought maybe i could put my own issues with my adoption aside for a second . i thought about being able to give this baby to a family that would be loving and it would be a good solution for everyone . jason : we can still have kids . you know , when you 're ready . sam : when i saw that sonogram , jason -- and i felt my baby move -- and i realized that this baby is a part of me , and when ronnie jammed that gun in my side , it became real . i love this baby . i want this baby . and i can handle it , even if you ca n't . molly : hey . class starts any second . um -- but i 'm okay with leaving if you want to work with sam . sam : no , no , no . it 's just you and me , sis . come on . [ scene_break ] patrick : you know , i -- had a little bit of a hard time trying to figure out what to do without mommy . so i needed a little bit of help from aunt elizabeth , and there 's going to be times that aunt elizabeth is -- is still going to have to watch you or stefani or uncle matt . but i 'm going to be spending a lot more time with you . does that sound good ? emma : yes . patrick : yeah ? and i 'm going to be okay . so , you -- you do n't have to worry about me , okay ? emma : because you took your medicine ? patrick : baby , you 're the only medicine i need . [ scene_break ] anthony : unh ! you surprised me , johnny . i did n't think you had it in you to be so cold and calculated . johnny : oh , come on . it runs in the family . you 're the one who convinced me to use connie in the first place , right ? anthony : agreeing to a little bounce on the bed is one thing , but if kate does what you suggested , she could end up in a looney bin for the rest of her life . johnny : as long as she 's out of my way . [ scene_break ] starr : you saw my dad ? michael : yeah , i ran into him at the metro court . he knows i 'm supposed to testify against you . starr : look , he 's worried about me . whatever he said , he 's just -- michael : he wants me to withdraw my statement . i told him i could n't . starr : how did he react ? michael : he was n't happy . starr : did he threaten you ? michael : well , i -- i told him i was going to do what i have to do . he said he was , too , and he left . starr : i told him to stay out of this . staying out of things is not exactly my dad 's thing . [ scene_break ] todd : if sonny can convince michael not to testify against my daughter , then i wo n't bother going to the cops and explaining to them that it was kate or connie or whatever the hell her name is that shot out anthony zacchara 's tires and killed two innocent people in the process . carly : you sure about this ? todd : yeah . everybody wins . sonny gets to keep his girlfriend out of jail , and starr gets to stay out of prison , too . carly : but sonny 's furious with kate for sleeping with johnny . i do n't know why he 'd care at this point . todd : oh , stop . he 's just a big greek teddy bear . he still loves kate . he 'll forgive her . he 'll do anything to protect her . carly : your granddaughter and her father were killed in that accident . you do n't want to see kate brought to justice ? todd : hope and cole are gone . nothing i do is ever going to bring them back . but i can do everything in my power to help starr . carly : i understand that . todd : and everything is going to go just fine , provided that sonny still wants to help kate .

[ scene_break ] todd : i made a lot of mistakes as a parent . but going after sonny in the courtroom , even though i was convinced that he deserved to die at the time , i gave starr the idea that she should finish what i started . so , this whole mess , this is on me . carly : i understand your need to make this right for her . and your plan just may work if sonny can get past walking in on his girlfriend in bed with another man . what ? todd : think you might ever forgive johnny ? carly : a friend of mine just reminded me that i 'd made my own share of relationship mistakes -- ones that seemed unforgivable at the time . i do n't know . i do n't know . i got to get back to the hotel , so -- todd : you do ? yeah , great . i 'll walk you there . carly : you were going in there . todd : yeah , i was . i was going to get a burger , but i can get room service . i 'm like this with the owner of the hotel . carly : can i share a secret with you ? todd : yeah . carly : the burgers here are way better . todd : okay . carly : okay ? todd : great . thanks for the tip . carly : see you later . todd : carly , um -- carly : hmm ? todd : i 'm glad to hear that -- you would be willing to forgive johnny . i 've done a lot of unforgivable things , and -- hearing that gives a guy like me some hope , too .

[ scene_break ] carly : i ca n't believe you . i mean , not only are you sleeping with my lawyer -- how could you let ava blackmail you into spending more time with avery ? sonny : i figured if it kept the peace and stopped what 's happening right now , it would be nice to have an extra 12 hours . carly : well , you know , you thought wrong . it 's a nice day . i decided to take a walk through the park . and what do i see ? avery with ava . and i know it 's not her day for visitation , sonny . sonny : what did ava tell you ? carly : well , she said that now we 're getting divorced , i do n't have a place in avery 's life . sonny : well , you know that 's a lie , right ? carly : i know it 's a lie , because ava was working overtime to distract me from the real question , right ? why would you let her spend one extra second with avery ? she had leverage on you . and i thought about how you were holding martina 's hand . and then i thought about how she had this ridiculous excuse to quit as my lawyer . sonny : i figured you 'd put it together , carly . carly : yeah , because it 's not rocket science , sonny . anyone who knows you could figure it out , so i came over here to see for myself . sonny : oh , so , now that jax is gone , you want to check up on me . is that what happened ? carly : and you know what ? poor max . he was so upset . he was sweating bullets . he was so guilt - ridden . he would n't even tell me if you were home . and i show up , and i walk over here , and i see that ? you cooked for her . wow . i mean , you do n't miss a trick , huh ? sonny : if you knew what was happening up there , why 'd you go up there , carly ? carly : because i wanted to see for myself , okay ? i wanted to see if you were actually sleeping with my lawyer . martina : with all due respect ... i 'm no longer your lawyer , so what happens between me and sonny is none of your business . carly : if it affects my legal situation , it 's definitely my business . i 'm curious , sonny . how long after you slept with her did she agree to tank my case ? sonny : okay , first of all , i had no idea martina was your lawyer . i was having a rough night . i went to the haunted star to have a drink , and she was there . we did n't know each other 's names . she was from out of town . and it -- spontaneously , things just happened . carly : okay . let 's say i believe that . sonny : right . carly : how about the second she walked into the preliminary meeting , and you did realize she was my lawyer ? why did n't you say anything then , either one of you ? why did n't you say anything then ? we could have walked away . no harm , no foul . instead , you used this to your advantage . sonny : oh , no , no . i did n't use anything , carly . carly : i mean , i really did think it was strange when martina , out of the blue , advises me to give you all your assets back . but it was n't her idea . it was yours . yeah , you took advantage of the one - night stand , and you used it as leverage , and martina ... she wanted to salvage her reputation and her fee . martina : let 's be honest . you 're not angry because we kept you in the dark or that i advised you to compromise you on the division of your assets . what 's really ticking you off is that i 'm the woman in what used to be your bed .

robin : i 'm sorry , it just -- it makes me crazy . patrick : ok . then we should talk about it . what has carly done ? robin : i was entrusted with a piece of information that carly desperately wants to keep secret . patrick : so , naturally , making it public would give you great satisfaction ? robin : all right , i admit that would enjoy watching carly get hers . but the main reason to tell is that keeping this secret would hurt someone terribly . patrick : but telling the truth would hurt someone else ? robin : yes . patrick : i 'm guessing it 's not carly , because if it was , you would 've told the truth in a heartbeat . robin : either way , someone will get hurt . patrick : why do you have to say anything ? why do n't you just leave it to the people involved and focus on your own life ? robin : you mean focus on you ? patrick : well , now that you mention it -- robin : you sure about this ? patrick : should n't i be asking you that ?

jax : you heard him on the phone . helena 's back . she 's the reason i claimed to be john 's father in the first place . carly : i know , and i know you want to protect that little boy , but there 's got to be a middle ground , jax . jax : i do n't know . carly : ok . what if , god forbid , the truth of john 's paternity comes out ? you do not want nikolas to be your enemy . you want him to think that you 've been reasonable and understanding , not some crazy baby snatcher . jax : i 'm going to do what 's best for that little boy , and i 'm not going to live my life in fear . carly : did i tell you how much it turns me on when you act all strong and commanding ? jax : really ? carly : and i know that you 'd never , ever take advantage of me in this situation . jax : no , i would never do that . jason : i 've been thinking one thing -- when sam got shot , i said , `` please , god , let her live . `` you know , i was praying . i did n't go to the chapel , but i just kept saying it over and over in my head , `` please , please let her live , `` and she did . she is alive and i have to keep her that way . elizabeth : by leaving her ? jason : she 'd be in a lot more danger if she stayed with me . she would be leverage , you know , a way for my enemies to get to me . or she could just be standing too close to me one day or run to me at the wrong time , like she did at the metro court . i ca n't -- i ca n't watch her get shot again . i ca n't take the risk that she 's going to die the next time . elizabeth : but it 's not your risk to take . it 's sam 's . alexis : i 'd like to be able to tell kristina , if that 's ok with you . sam : do you think she 'd really understand any of this ? alexis : probably not . she happens to like you a lot , anyway . do you remember what she said when she wanted you to join our tea party ? sam : she wanted us to pretend we were sisters . alexis : it 's funny how things work out , huh ?

you know , you 're even , you know , kind of a good dancer . diego : well , i had a pretty good partner . georgie : the truth is i had a good time , and that 's the last thing i ever expected . diego : because dillon was n't with you . georgie : the prom is a part of a life that i do n't have anymore , along with my senior year . all my friends , they 're living at home with their parents , calling each other about homework and boys and parties and -- i 'm married , living above a diner with my husband . when dillon asked me to marry him , i said yes because i love him and i wanted to be with him for the rest of my life . it was the idea of being together and , you know , making it on our own . what i did n't know is what it would actually be like . diego : the reality of it was a shock . georgie : yeah . it was a -- it was a major shock . i hate -- hate to admit this , but our parents were right . dillon and i are way too young to be married . dillon : never should 've gone with you to the markham islands . lulu : no , probably not , but i 'm glad that you did . dillon : yeah , well , i leave georgie , i do n't call , i do n't write . i tried to write an email , but i do n't send it , so that makes everything even worse . lulu : ok , yeah , you did screw up . dillon : thank you . i feel so much better . lulu : no -- well , georgie screwed up , too . i mean , what she did was a petty and very transparent act of revenge . dillon : no , but , you see , that 's georgie 's thing . that 's what she does . when she wants to tick me off , she finds a guy to make me jealous or she just , you know , makes one up . lulu : hey , do n't knock made - up boyfriends . elvis has been good to me . dillon : you did n't make up elvis to make your real boyfriend jealous . lulu : well , mainly because i did n't have one , but i agree with you , georgie was yanking your chain . dillon : it 's just -- it 's so high school , you know ? that 's what i think about it , and then i realize that it is high school . she 's a senior , i 'm a year older than that . it 's not like putting a ring on her finger and saying `` i do `` is going to make us more mature . lulu : you know , not to sound like my dad or anything , but sometimes marriage is n't a solution . it could be a bigger problem . dillon : georgie and i , we got married because i was going to die , you know ? we wanted to promise our love to each other , and then -- whoo , shocker -- i do n't die . and months later , i 'm , like , living down the very thing that everybody 's been trying to tell me all along , which is -- i 'm too young to be married . elizabeth : before i got to know you myself , emily told me all about you . she told me you were brave and kind . she said you were a little weird , but in a good way . but she said the best thing about you is that you never told anyone what to do . jason : yeah , well , now i 'm the biggest hypocrite there is . elizabeth : no , no , you just grew up . you finally came to that place where you realize you do n't like seeing the people you love get hurt . so you decided to step in and do something about it , and it will work , to a certain extent . i mean , sonny and emily and sam , they will all be safe , but they wo n't have you . emily -- she 's going to be really hurt by this . she already is . and i know sonny 's already affected and -- but , jason , you are sam 's entire life . jason : i can't . i ca n't be anymore . elizabeth : what do you expect her to do with the love that she feels for you , just turn it off ? what are you going to do with the love you feel for her ? jason : i 'm doing this because i love her more than anything . i caught a guy in her room this morning , someone from a rival family going after her to get to me , and it 's not going to stop unless sam is out of my life . elizabeth : then why ca n't you just let sonny take over the business again ? jason : he does n't want it back . elizabeth : what is sam supposed to do without you ? jason : alexis is going to step in . she -- sam wants a chance to know her mother . elizabeth : you 're going to break her heart . jason : i already did . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . jason : i mean , nothing has turned out the way i expected .

's head so that i could get him to tell the world that it was his relish that made everybody sick , not mine . nikolas : i wondered why a.j . jumped to take the blame . he was suspiciously honorable , which is completely out of character for him . tracy : unsurprisingly , he has refused to follow through . it 's been days . he has not taken his mea culpa public , so it 's only fair that i use his grotesque tryst with carly to make the world a better place . nikolas : by staging a coup at elq ? tracy : and saving elizabeth from the black hole that is my nephew . nikolas : do you have any actual proof that a.j . cheated on elizabeth with carly ? tracy : of course . and it could be yours in exchanged for the money i need to buy the elq shares from franco 's bad seed . rafe : no way . this can not be happening . sam : do n't worry . we 're gon na fix this . do you even have a shred of sensitivity ? what is wrong with you ? silas : i was answering the kid 's question . what would you have told him ? sam : not that . silas : so you would n't have told him the truth ? sam : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . rafe : sam , this -- this is n't possible , is it ? sam : we 're not gon na let him take you . do n't worry . rafe : i mean , can he even do this , miss davis , just take me away from sam like this ? great . that 's my answer . [ sighs ] sam : rafe , i do n't care if it 's legally possible for silas to be your guardian . i 'm telling you right now we 're gon na fight this . right , mom ? alexis : absolutely . rafe : kids at the group home always talked about how relatives had more rights than other people . silas : there 's a reason for that . i know i may seem strange to you now , but perhaps miss morgan seemed strange when you first met her . rafe : no , she did n't . silas : you know , it took my brother 's death for me to realize how important family is . whether you like it or not , you and i are blood , rafe . there 's no one else who can understand you the way i do , no one else who wo n't judge you for what your father did or refuse to see the gifts that he gave you . rafe : gifts ? he was a psycho . silas : do n't let anyone make you feel ashamed of who you are . before he got sick , your father was a brilliant man . but he could n't accept the death of the person he loved more than anything , more than his own life . that 's tragic . that does not make him evil . rafe : no , but killing my mother does . alexis : go on . go after him . i 'll deal with dr. clay . you say you want to help rafe . you know the best way that you could help him ? you leave town and do n't come back . rafe : you guys are my family , okay ? you and danny . not that freak in there . sam : look , i know . we feel the same about you . i know you have to get to your counselor meeting . i 'll drive you . i 'll take you . rafe : no , it 's fine . you have danny . i mean , at least i have a lot to talk about , right ? duke : well , i understand now why you felt the sabotage was a good thing . i 'm glad you got the tracy quartermaine monkey off your back . congratulations . elizabeth : on what ? duke : a.j . 's relieved that he does n't have to take the blame for the food poisoning , especially as you were one of the unfortunate people involved . aj : it feels really good to have it off my mind . elizabeth : i 'm sure it does . you know , you 're awfully hard on yourself . duke : well , anyway , i , uh , better get going . i will keep in touch with you if i get any word on the saboteur . aj : okay . hey , uh , so how 's cameron doing ? elizabeth : oh , he 's fine . a little of gram 's homemade chicken noodle soup , and he 'll be back to good . aj : good . elizabeth : so , let 's get back to whatever it is you wanted to tell me . tracy : it is such a pleasure doing business with you . i have just sent you the recording of a.j . admitting to his sleazy indiscretion with carly . nikolas : i certainly wo n't take any joy in telling elizabeth this . she really believes in a.j . tracy : well , as long as this check clears , i do n't care what you do with the information . nikolas : i do n't want to see her hurt , you understand ? tracy : well , then , why do n't you spare her the pain of any further relationship with a.j . ? get her out of it before he plows her into a tree or worse . she 's gon na be embarrassed that she trusted him , and she will seek shelter in your arms . win - win . nikolas : winning her this way is wrong . tracy : nikolas , if you truly believe that elizabeth is the love of your life , you better go after her with everything you 've got . because the next time the grim reaper takes a swipe at you , you 're gon na find yourself alone , regretting that you did n't reach for love when you had the chance . aj : i 'm sorry , elizabeth . as much as i dislike tracy , i just -- i feel like i have to tell her that both relishes were tainted before it hits the news . elizabeth : seriously ? after the horrible way she 's treated you ? you really are a good man . maxie : oh ! spinelli : maxie . uh , salutations . wait , a - are you okay ? i trust nothing 's amiss with the baby . maxie : i 'm fine . oh , uh , we 're fine . i - i had to see dr. westbourne . she 's taking a leave of absence -- some complications to her pregnancy . spinelli : oh , well , i 'm sorry to hear that . but nonetheless , i 've come here to confront her about an inexplicable decision to pass over ellie for a promotion she justly deserves . maxie : oh , well , the explanation is simple . dr. westbourne 's a bitch . spinelli : right . succinctly put . i - is she inside ? maxie : no , she 's gone . i should go , too . i need to talk to dante about getting a new doctor . spinelli : oh . uh , right . that explains your earlier preoccupation . i mean -- how are you gon na keep your future doctor from discovering the truth ? maxie : truth about what ? spinelli : well , about the baby . britt : i 'm not going anywhere with you . um -- patrick and i already agreed that -- that i was [ clears throat ] gon na stay with him . patrick : right , and i had to step back from the situation and actually think about your health , and this is better , because she 's a nurse , and she can have fellow nurses take care of you when she 's at work or when we 're together . britt : but the baby , and i 'm on bed rest . patrick : i understand that , which is why this is better , because emma would just add to your stress . sabrina : she 's at that rambunctious age . patrick : and let 's be honest . you 're not really crazy about her . britt : well , i mean , it 's true emma and i are n't best friends , but we could get along -- sabrina : britt , we 're only thinking of your comfort . trust me , once you get used to it , you 'll be happy to be my roommate . patrick : i mean , britt , you made it sound like you did n't have any other choices , but if you do , please , i 'm all ears . brad : whoa ! hey , hey ! watch it ! ellie : sorry . i 'm sorry . my -- my mind was elsewhere . brad : yeah , i bet i know where .

[ scene_break ] sonny : zero lithium . you think that 's really what happened ? andré : it 's the only explanation that makes any sense . sonny : well , the only thing is that morgan was taking his medication because he wrote that in his journal , and i trust that 100 % . andré : so do i . sonny : [ breathes deeply ] wait -- wait a minute . what the hell is that ?

jax : no , no , no . my son needs to be christened . carly : like i said . jax : do n't i need to pick godparen before the big event ? carly : yeah , two . x : well , i wanted mike to be john 's godfather because that 's the only blood connection to courtney that john will have , and i think it would make courtney happy . carly : yeah . and since mike is john 's grandfather , he 'll be thrilled . jax : right . then let 's go pick a godmother . carly : hmm . jax : it 's going to be tough . i mean , skye would be great , do n't you think ?

robin : i do n't know . you know what ? no , she could n't have known . she loved nikolas too much to keep that secret from him . maxie : do you believe in signs ? nikolas : hello . robin : hi . nikolas : hi . robin : you know , are you free for lunch later ?

i just -- i need a couple of minutes to talk to him . i know that he would be able to hear me . i do n't even know who i am without jason . alexis : then that 's what we 're going to figure out . and i promise to keep it rant - free . sam : you keeping anything about jason rant - free ? i 'd like to see that . alexis : it 's because i understand why you can love him . jason is an easy man to love . it 's just living in his world is another story . you said something to me , that you did n't know who you were without jason . i want to know who you were before jason . what did you want , sam ? did you have any dreams at all ? sam : yeah . i wanted to make a big score and retire . because i always thought that if i had enough money , that i would feel safe . but it 's not about the money and i -- i feel safe with jason . jason makes me happy . alexis : you , you , you . i want to know about you . i want to know about you , what you want . you said you wanted your g.e.d . , that you wanted to go to college , that you even wanted to go to law school . sam : jason said i was just doing that because of you . alexis : well , so what ? sam : no , i mean , i think -- i think i would 've liked it . i think i would 've been really good at it . you know , i spent so much of my time on the wrong side of the law . it would 've been -- it would 've been nice to be on the right side of the law . alexis : you are focused and you are determined and you can do whatever you want . det . rodriguez : m sorry to bother you , ms . davis . ballistics got back to us on the durant murder . alexis : it 's ok . it 's ok , you can talk . det . rodriguez : the strike marks matched the bullet that shot ms . mccall . as the d.a . , i thought you 'd want to know . alexis : thank you . sam : durant is dead and you 're the new d.a . ? robin : dad , that 's a really nice gesture . but i happen to be a grown woman with , believe it or not , a life of my own . robert : exactly how long do you intend to remain angry with me ? i mean , just so that i can , you know , make a note on my calendar . robin : well , you know , that 's the thing -- i 'm not angry with you anymore . robert : oh . robin : i have come to realize some basics . number one , you can not change who you are no more than i can . so now i just find you mildly amusing . so now that i 'm all grown up , i do n't really need a father , but thanks for volunteering . maxie : wait , robin , were n't you just telling georgie and me that we should appreciate the father that we have ? robin : actually , i said appreciate that you have a father around when you need him , and we can all be grateful to uncle mac for that . mac : maybe we should cut robert a little slack . georgie : i 'm sorry i ruined your plans by moving home , uncle robert . robin : better luck next time . but you know what ? i 'm sure some agency will call you any minute and tell you that they desperately need you to go on a mission . robert : fortunately , i have plan b. i have this standing invitation at a place that , unlike yourself , they just ca n't get enough of me . luke : mmm . island life has its advantages , but , alice , i 'll tell you , nothing compares to the high - class joint you run . you make married life tolerable . tracy : i heard that . luke : oh , wife , come , sit your spanky buns down here . papa 's made this spot right here nice and warm for you . lulu : i thought you would ditch the stepmonster over the pacific . tracy : oh , you are a chip off the old block . do you want me to tell her or should you ? luke : well , i 'd rather not relive it , wife . tracy : i understand . holly , darling daddy 's dream girl , ditched him and ran off with the jewels -- or so she thought -- proving what i knew all along -- she 's just not that into you . lulu : sorry , dad . luke : ah , it 's ok , daughter . it 's true the english crumpet did do me wrong , but c'est la vie . i always have the bosom of my extended family to return home to . hey , pop , what do you say ? would you extend me a small loan ? edward : not on your best day . tracy : oh , thank you , daddy . you 're absolutely right , luke deserves nothing . oh , wait a minute . from now on , i am the center of your universe , not mr . luke , and should you defy me , i 'll put him hind bars . lulu : for what ? tracy : do you remember the jewels he was so desperate to get his hands on ? well , it turns out he was highly motivated . yosee , he 's been skimming off my accounts . in fact , he 's racked up so much debt that he could be in prison for decades . luke : but my wife has seen fit to reach into her heart and generously decided to take it out on my hide instead . edward : i say toss him behind bars . tracy : maybe , but for now i like him right where i 've got him -- firmly under my thumb . luke : ouch . lorenzo : i 'm returning this in person so there will be no mistake . with all due respect , juan , you 're wasting your money and my time . i have no interest in going into business with you . diego : i would rethink that , dad . jason : i have a lot of respect for you , ms . johnson . i am so grateful to you for the way you helped with sam 's recovery , ateful for the way you helped when manny ruiz grabbed elizabeth . epiphany : you 're going to turn me down . you 're not going to fire my son . jason : if stan wanted to quit , i would respect that , but i ca n't fire him . he 's done nothing wrong . epiphany : except spit in the face of his talent and his future . jason : i promise you i will do my best to see that nothing bad happens to your son . epiphany : i suppose that 's the best i can hope for . jason : i would n't blame you if you refused this , ok , but i have to ask . will you keep me updated on sam 's progress , at least for the next couple of days ? epiphany : what you did for sam , it obviously cost you a lot . i guess you 're one of those men that can handle a broken heart . you do n't even realize that not everyone is like you . alexis : thank you . a lot happened while you were unconscious . john durant was killed . he was caught in between carly and two snipers . and from what we just heard , it turns out that those were the same snipers who shot at jason when you got in the way . sam : so you get the big job ? alexis : reluctantly , mayor floyd offered me the job and i took it . but i 've spent most of my time here and this is where my focus has been , so i would n't be surprised at all if he took the job away as quickly as he offered it . sam : well , that would be good because , i do n't know , i do n't really like the idea of you being the d.a . of port charles . alexis : i get that . i hope you understand , too , that it 's a bss ring for anyone involved in the law . sam : right , and i hope you understand that you are going to make it your mission to prosecute the man i love , and i just -- i have a feeling that might put a damper on the whole mother - daughter bonding . [ knock on door ] ric : excuse me ? alexis : hi . ric : bad time ? sam : not at all . i should be resting , anyway . robin : hey . jax : hey . robin : i was supposed to meet nikolas for lunch , but i do n't see him . have you seen him ? jax : well , no , but i 'm sure he 'll be here . robin : what 's this all about ? jax : planning john 's christening , so i 'm just -- i 'm trying to learn this . robin : that 's great . jax : you know , i 've been sitting here thinking about how close i came to losing him and , you know , how amazing it is that he lived . this is my way to give thanks for my son and ask for god 's help and guidance in his future . robin : could all use a little of that . jax : you know , i 'm a little intimidated to be that boy 's father . john and i are getting closer every day . i 'm incredibly humbled at the prospect of shaping his life . alexis : i 've been waiting for you . oy ! oh , my goodness . hello there . hello . thank you for bringing them so quickly . will you do me a favor and go have lunch with molly , and i need to talk to kristina alone for a little bit ? viola : oh , absolutely . mm - hmm . alexis : and then i 'll call you when we 're finished . viola : ok . alexis : thanks . do you mind having a talk with mom ? ok ? kristina : do n't mind at all . alexis : ok . i 'm going to have to tell you some things that i really do n't think you 're going to be able to understand all of it , and i just want you to know it 's ok , you do n't have to . you just listen because mom always wants to tell you the truth . ok ? do you remember your friend lori ? kristina : yeah . alexis : ok ? you know she 's adopted and you know what that means ? ok . now , the same thing happened to mommy . when mommy was 16 years old , mommy had a baby , and mommy was n't old enough to take care of the baby , so she gave it to a family that could . well , it turns out now that that baby is not a baby anymore . the baby is a big , grown , beautiful woman who 's your sister . do you know who that is ? it 's sam . kristina : so sam 's my big sister ? alexis : is that ok with you ? kristina : are you going to give me and molly away like you di -- alexis : never . never , never . mommy waed till a long time so i could be a good mother and i would know how to take care of you , so you came right at the perfect time . and we will always be together , all of us , ok -- you , molly , me , and sam . sam : not long ago , you thought i was a deluded stalker . you were going to get a restraining order put on me . remember ? ric : i did n't know the circumstances . sam : wow . you must 've been thrilled when you found out i was the dead daughter . ric : no , i was happy for my wife . see , sam , i was there when alexis opened up the file and read that her little girl had been killed . and i held her in my arms and she cried , and even though she did n't believe me , i tried to convince her that it was n't her fault . now , as far as things being what they are , the only thing i was thrilled about was that alexis had received a miracle , and those are kind of rare tse days . now it 's not just up to alexis or fate , it 's up to you . you have a say in this . so i 'm asking you , as your stepfather , do n't blow it . make your own relationship with your mother , ok , apart from jason or anyone else . alexis : i brought a couple of people i thought might make you feel better . kristina : sam , you 're my big sister . sam : well , your mom is n't very subtle , now , is she ? should i say `` our mom `` ? alexis : ah . lorenzo : i have no quarrel with you , morgan . whatever business dealings you have with escobar , they have nothing to do with me . i 'm merely here to protect my family . jason : if you really want out of this , you and your son should leave now . any future discussion with escobar will only be interpreted one way . diego : look , you do n't give orders to lorenzo alcazar . lorenzo : try to remember what it was like to be young and hotheaded . gentlemen . juan : you and i need to talk in private . jason : you do the talking . call your people . they 'll all tell you as of five minutes ago , your entire operation belongs to me . tracy : tell me , why does the haunted star always do better when you 're out of the country ? luke : because i was smart enough to hire a partner who has his finger on the pulse of port charles ' nightlife . tracy : yeah , uh - huh , but he 's still not going to give the place any class . luke : i beg to differ . i think this crowd he 's pulling in are going to drop a bundle . i will pay you back by the weekend . alice ? alice : in here , mr . luke . luke : my martini . robert : just the way i like it , too . luke : alice , what are you doing ? alice : well , mr . robert was just telling us how he saved your life . luke : that 's my massage , alice ! edward : welcome to my world , spencer . oh , by the way , i 've just hired scorpio . mm - hmm . his fee is quite reasonable and i anticipate a brief but very fruitful relationship . tracy : hired him for what ? edward : pest control . he 's promised to fumigate luke right out of our home . robert : it was the least i could do . i mean , edward and i , well , we go way back . edward : mm - hmm . robert : oh , by the way , he 's also invited me to move in . cheers . georgie : i 'm sorry . dillon : no , me , i am . i made a mistake . georgie : can we just forget about this and move on ? dillon : no . georgie : dillon , i screwed up . i really screwed up . i want -- dillon : don't . just stop . please , just let me -- ok ? me first ? i should n't have gone and left you . if i had thought about it , i would 've realized that that would hurt you , and the last thing that i want to do is hurt you . georgie : we both made mistakes , dillon , we both did , and it does n't matter anymore because i love you . dillon : i ve you , too , but it 's not that simple . robin : well , i ca n't wait to see little john . jax : yeah . robin : oh , there 's nikolas . jax : take care . robin : you , too . hey . nikolas : hey . carly : what kind of trash was she talking about me this time ? jax : no , she was actually saying that she would do her part to ensure john 's welfare . she 's a good friend . nikolas : i 'm so sorry i kept you waiting . robin : is everything ok ? nikolas : no , my grandmother 's on the loose again . apparently she confronted some people that i do business with , so i need to find her before things get out of hand . robin : do you really think she 'd hurt you ? nikolas : she certainly would n't hesitate to hurt people i care about . i mean , thank god that is public knowledge that jax is the father of courtney 's son . robin : i 'm sorry , i just ca n't believe that helena would hurt an innocent little baby . nikolas : if i ever give her an heir , she will do whatever 's necessary to take over that child 's life and try and mold him into her idea of what a perfect cassadine should be . i know this is all very exciting for you . robin : -- nikolas : anyway , what about you ? you said -- on the phone , i mean , it sounded like something specific you wanted to talk about . lorenzo : hey ! have you lost your mind ? diego : leave me alone . lorenzo : you do n't mess with men like that , they will kill you . morgan does n't care that you 're my son . diego : that 's because he does n't respect you . ok ?

[ scene_break ] carly : all right , tell me again -- when was the last time you saw your brother ? jax : a little over a year ago . when i went to london on business , jerry was there . he seemed like he was doing really well , even insisted on picking up the tab . then i did n't hear from him again until last november when he called me for help . carly : the siberia call ? and you did n't see him the whole time ? jax : no . i was too busy paying off people that were after him . carly : okay , well , he must 've had his new face by then . jax : which is probably why he did n't let me see him . [ carly sighs ] carly : okay , so somewhere in the last 12 months , your brother snapped , had plastic surgery , and created this alter ego , mr. craig , and when he knew you 'd be out of town for a while , he took over our hotel . jax : the whole siberia trip was probably a ruse planned in advance . jerry knew i 'd be out of town . he knew that i 'd drop everything for him . i just -- he pulled me away from everything that i love , and for what -- for money ? it just does n't make sense . carly : okay , i especially hate your brother -- and believe me , i hate your brother -- i do believe he was trying to protect you . jax : yeah -- which is exactly why i have to protect him now .

[ scene_break ] carly : jerry 's been hiding at wyndemere this whole time ? jason : yeah , robin , emily , patrick drake were involved in this . they got dragged into it ; they 've kept quiet because they 're trying to keep nikolas alive . jax : what about spencer ? i ca n't believe that my brother would threaten a child . [ jason sighs ] jason : well , emily said that , um , jerry left the baby alone . i guess poisoning nikolas was really all the leverage he really needed . jax : the other night at your place -- what was that about ? jason : well , your brother knows that i want to kill him . and he wants to make sure that emily suffers if he ends up dead . jax : he did n't poison emily , too , though ? jason : no , he did not . he has bank transfers linking her to espionage and treason . if he ends up dead , he 's going to turn the evidence over to the government . it 's just a different way of holding my sister hostage . jax : i 'll fix this . jason : how you going to fix this ?

[ scene_break ] skye : i made such a big mistake , turning my back on the family the way that i did , but i do n't want to see my little girl punished for it . edward : you know , there 's nothing quite as bad as -- as yearning for a life that you chose to walk away from . no one deserves that pain . skye : i 'm so sorry for hurting the family the way that i did . i regret it down to my soul . and if i had another chance to make it right -- edward : but it is n't that simple . you see , it took time for you to be accepted when -- when alan brought you into our family . but i am a man who has made my own mistakes . and justus was as much a surprise to the family as you were . but eventually , i -- i accepted you as a -- as a quartermaine . and i grew to love you as my true granddaughter . so much so that when i discovered that you were a part of this crisis situation , something broke inside me . not -- not my heart . no , dear , something much deeper . and alan begged me on his deathbed to forgive you . but every time i looked at that news footage of my son staggering out of that lobby , so ill , falling to the ground in -- in pain , i -- you were part of that , skye . you remained silent , when it could have meant the difference between life and death for alan . skye : so you wo n't forgive me ? edward : it 's not that i wo n't . i ca n't . and all things considered , it 's not my forgiveness that you need . [ scene_break ] logan : the jackal is walking away from a challenge ? spinelli : the assassin of the internet does not break his oath of fealty to stone cold or mr. corinthos , sir . it 's kind of a sacred bond that we aces of the underworld share . even a crabby commando like yourself should understand . logan : spinelli , we got off to a bad start , but we 're going to have to figure out how to get along here . there 's a very good chance that i could be working with you in the not - too - distant future . spinelli : we will work together , like , in the not - too - distant never , so -- [ logan chuckles ] logan : i saved sonny 's life twice , man . the -- the guy 's going to want to repay me . spinelli : mr. corinthos , sir , would never trust a knuckle dragger like yourself . he 's too discerning . one of the many traits that he and i share , so -- logan : huh . you 're making a serious mistake here , all right ? you do not want to turn me into an enemy . [ scene_break ] maxie : you ca n't trust logan . you said yourself he would sell his grandmother . coop : if craig came after me , logan could protect you . maxie : i love that you 're looking out for me . really , i do . but you have the best kind of protection now . you work for sonny , and sonny 's going to take out craig . we just have to wait it out and be patient . coop : it 's not patience i have a problem with . you learn early in the military , do n't go renegade . it 's the best way to get yourself killed . i am being forced to go this alone , and i do n't like it . maxie : coop , you 're not alone . you have me .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i understand your impulse to reach out to dad . i mean , i 've crossed paths with him a couple of times . i 've even talked to him . so i get it . but if we keep doing that , we 'll only be enabling him . lulu : enabling him . ok . ohm . i 'm sorry . i 'm tired of that word . i just -- he 's our father . twelve steps works for you . it 's not working for him . lucky : it works for millions of people every day , not just me . lulu : true . but more than half of those people relapse within the first year , too . lucky : none of this is an easy fix . you ca n't expect dad to get magically cured all of a sudden . it does n't work that way . and in the meantime , we have to stick together and keep pushing him to at least attend some of the meetings to get started . lulu : you and i both know that he 's not going to do that . i do n't know . it just -- it seems like more and more that you 're the one that expects him to be magically cured . lucky : i 've never said that . i 've never said that . i just believe that rehab is the best chance that he has . lulu : but it 's not working . and right now , we do n't have a father . i think we need to find another way to save him . lucky : just do n't -- you 're not getting it , lulu . i 'm sorry if this sounds like clichéd lingo to you , but it 's the truth . we ca n't save dad . no one can . he has to save himself .

[ scene_break ] lucky : lulu , i know that this is n't easy . but if you could just be a little more patient , ok ? dad has to make the turn on his own . lulu : i do n't know . i ca n't . i ca n't -- i 'm sorry . ethan ca n't either . he 's hanging out with dad again . and we 've tried your way . i think that we need to try my way . lucky : and what is that ? just be there for him , and then watch him drink himself to death ? look , i know that you love dad and that you 're worried about him . we all are . and trust me , there was a time when i believed that he could fight his way out of any jam . but this is one fight he ca n't win , not in his own strength . he has to break . he has to surrender to something bigger than himself . and the best way for us to do that is to get out of the way and allow him to feel the consequences of his actions . lulu : but the consequences are n't helping . i do n't think we can sit around and do nothing and pretend that he does n't exist . if we come together , and get on him with love , we will actually see some changes . lucky : this is love . this is -- you can call it tough love or whatever , but that 's exactly what this is . and besides , it 's not going to work . he 's just going to drink when we 're not around . lulu : why is it so impossible for you to show one ounce of optimism ? lucky : i am optimistic if he goes to rehab . you know what ? i do n't want to fight with you . just do whatever you want , ok ? whatever you need to do -- you can reach out to him , embrace him , whatever . but i ca n't . i 'm not going to do it . lulu : so you 're punishing him . lucky : you really believe that ? lulu : i do n't know . that 's what it seems like to me . lucky : i have my own reasons for staying away from dad , anyway . lulu : like what ? lucky : like the fact that i 'm an addict , too . you have any idea what being around him makes me want to do ? it makes me want to take a pill or get drunk , just like him , and forget about everything . lulu : ok . you 're going to abandon him . ok . i 'm sorry . i ca n't do it . [ scene_break ] ethan : take it easy , ok ? you 're probably starting to feel some of the effects from not taking the pills , eh ? kristina : i guess so . ethan : it 's ok . it 's ok . this is what happens . kristina : when you told me what they really were , i swore that i 'd never go near hydrocodone again . but the truth is , i just finished looking through every purse and bag that i own . i was hoping that i 'd find one somewhere . ethan : i get it , ok ? trust me . but you do n't have to worry . you just give a few more days . now that you 've stopped taking the pills , you 'll feel much better , ok ? kristina : i 'm glad you recognized them . otherwise , i 'd still be taking them . ethan : i always knew my expertise would come in handy someday . kristina : i 'm serious . if it were n't for you , i 'd probably turn into some addict . ethan : you 're not an addict . trust me , ok ? i know what an addict looks like . kristina : you 're talking about your dad , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] dante : yeah , you 've been bottoming out for a while now , luke . do n't you think it 's time you got to the recovery part ? luke : screw recovery . i like it down here . dante : hey , obviously . but unfortunately , you 're dragging down the rest of your family with you , mainly your daughter . luke : hey , do n't go there , officer . dante : why not , luke ? is that too much truth for you to handle ? well , i 'm going to stick up for that daughter of yours , because i happen to love her very much . luke : well , she 's easy to love . but since she 's been sucked into this `` dad 's an alcoholic `` cult , she 's forbidden to talk to me . so when you see her , tell her i said hey . dante : she loves you , luke . she 's running around town trying to fix something that she ca n't fix . and this is how you pay her back -- you get drunk , and you make a mess like this . guess who 's going to be the one to clean it up ? luke : nobody . we 're going to leave it just like this . dante : i care too much about her , luke , and she cares way too much about you . she 's so caught up in trying to help you that she ca n't even realize the toll that it 's taking on her own life . so you know what ? if you 're not willing to pull it together for yourself , maybe -- just maybe -- you can consider the fact that you can pull it together for your daughter , ok ? luke : look , i 'm glad that you care for my daughter . i 'm glad that you 're there for her . you treat her right . but you stay out of my business , out of my face , and out of my club . dante : lulu 's always had this mental block about relationships . they never last , because someone always leaves . well , it 's pretty damn obvious where she gets that from . lulu : it 's not fair to tracy and ethan for you to keep wrecking this place . they 're going to have to buy a whole new bar set if they want to open again . luke : tracy can afford it . it 's time to upgrade the joint , anyway . hey , i 'm just trying to amuse myself , cupcake . just trying to have a laugh . everybody in this crap town is so bloody serious . lulu : the dustpan and the broom still in the back ? luke : leave it . it 's ok . lulu : i mean ... it 's just glass . cleaned it up before , i can clean it up again . find a way to stop breaking everything in here . ach . luke : i said leave it ! what the hell is the matter with you ? when i say leave it , i mean it ! damn you !

[ gate opens ] luke : shh , shh ! did you hear that ? what 's that over there ? delores : let 's take a look at the boathouse . olivia : thanks , honey . i 'll , uh -- i 'll hook up with you and your mom when i 'm done over here . steve : do n't worry about it . kate is your first priority . besides , my mom wo n't mind having an afternoon with me by herself . where 'd she go ? sam : heather , out on your own . should n't you be accompanied at all times ? heather : steve was just making a call . he 'll be along shortly . sam : yeah ? well , he better hurry up before i call those guys with the big old nets to come and get you . heather : that 's no way to speak to family . sam : oh , you 're not my family . heather : okay . so we never spent thanksgiving day together . sam : and we never will . heather : that baby you 're carrying is still my flesh and blood . whether it was fathered by jason or fathered by franco , does n't matter . after all , they 're both my cousins . jason : is grandfather here ? monica : well , he was supposed to be here . we were gon na have a day together , and all of a sudden , he decided he had to go to the office . why ? jason : well , i just -- you know , i kind of wanted to tell you both , but maybe -- i mean , maybe it 's better if it 's just you . monica : well , what is it ? is something wrong with the baby ? jason : no , the ba -- the baby 's fine . monica : well , you seem awfully tense . it 's not like you to be a nervous father - to - be . jason : i 'm not gon na be a -- i 'm not gon na be a father . heather : fear not , sam . i promise to love your baby , no matter which of my cousins fathered it . sam : how comforting . heather : some people might not be as accepting as i am . some people might shun your baby if they find out it 's franco 's . is it ? you can tell me . sam : it 's none of your business . heather : oh , i see it is . it is franco 's . sam : i never said that . heather : your face did . and i think it 's wonderful . we 're gon na have a little art -- sam : shut your damn mouth ! steve : what 's going on ? johnny : what do you mean you know exactly what i did ? carly : did you think i would n't find out ? johnny : goodbye , grandpa . anthony : aah ! aah ! carly : you have a really bad track record at keeping secrets from me . and what -- now you 're not gon na ask me into your apartment ? sonny told me , okay ? sonny told me that he ran into you at kelly 's and you practically begged him to forgive kate , and i want to know why . olivia : hey . you up for a visitor ? kate : oh , i 'm so glad you 're here . olivia : honey , where else would i be , huh ? where else would i be ? i was a little worried you would n't want me to see you in here . kate : why ? 'cause you thought i 'd be humiliated ? i thought so , too . when -- when dr. keenan first suggested that i check myself in to shadybrook , i refused . olivia : honey , that 's understandable . kate : no , he told me that she was dangerous and growing stronger and that she needed to be supervised and that i needed -- i needed to check myself in so i would n't cause harm to myself or others , but i was too vain . i did n't want anyone to know that i was ill . i was worried about my reputation , liv . does n't that sound like me ? hmm ? more concerned about my appearances than hurting other people ? olivia : i think you 're being a little bit too hard on yourself . kate : no , no , i 'm not -- not after what happened , liv . not hard enough . [ sighs ] are you here by yourself ? olivia : i 'm afraid so , yeah . you were hoping to see sonny , were n't you ? sonny : so , you want to deal , deal . todd : well , as i see it , not much has changed . you still have two options . option one -- you get michael to keep his mouth shut . he does n't testify against starr , he does n't tell the court or anybody else that he saw starr try and kill you , and my media outlets overlook any unflattering stories about your girlfriend , kate . sonny : what 's the other option ? todd : well , option two is michael testifies , as he sees fit , and i tell the world that kate killed my granddaughter . how is kate , by the way ? sonny : why do you care ? todd : she killed a 3-year - old . it 's got to be rough . what is the life expectancy of a child killer who 's incarcerated ? see , i think that you should take option one . you should keep kate alive . sonny : i think i want to take option three . todd : no , there 's only two options . sonny : no . there 's , uh -- there 's always another option . [ chuckles ] monica : what do you mean you 're not gon na be a father ? you said the baby 's all right . jason : it is all right . monica : well , then what 's going on ? jason : are those cops gon na come back here ? monica : i do n't think so . i do n't think they 're gon na find anything . like i said , i 'm sure it was just a prank . now what is going on ? jason : what i have to tell you -- it stays between us . should we keep going ? there 's nothing here . delores : not so fast . tracy : [ grunts ] luke : those are real cops , you know . tracy : you think ? you sure it was n't a stripper - gram ? could we put this down now ? luke : lay him here . tracy : oh ! luke : how did they know the exact location of the body ? tracy : i do n't know . maybe somebody saw you shoot him and called the cops . luke : hey , this is not my handiwork . this is amateurish . this is sloppy . you 're the one with the history of the botched murder attempts . tracy : maybe i can get this one right . luke : seriously ? give me that . now you 've got to focus . we 've got a cadaver here we have to stash . tracy : and where would you like to stash the cadaver ? luke : inside , just for now . come on . get that side . tracy : shh ! monica : what is it ? jason , we are family . you can tell me anything . jason : i 'm sorry . monica : look , whatever it is , it seems enormous right now . i can appreciate that , but -- it ca n't be that huge if the baby is all right . jason : the baby is okay . monica : well , then , what is it ? jason : the baby is n't mine . heather : language , sam . think about the impressionable mind you 're carrying . steve : is something wrong ? heather : no , we were just talking about the baby 's daddy , and i was just gon na say that -- sam : heather was just talking about how this baby was gon na make us one , big , happy family . steve : that 's all ? sam : yeah . that 's all . [ cell phone rings ] steve : hello ? hang on . it 's the hospital . do n't go anywhere . heather : what 's the matter , sam ? why do n't you want steven lars to know that you 're gon na bring a little baby picasso into the world ? i know . you 're afraid jason 's gon na find out . sam : no , you 're wrong . actually , jason knows everything . i just do n't think the whole world has to know right now . heather : on the contrary , i think you should be shouting the good news from the rooftops . sam : oh , okay . fine . while we 're shouting about franco , why do n't we include the bit where you sold him out from under his unconscious mother the second he was born ? how do you think steven 's gon na take that news ? heather : probably about as well as jason took the news that he was n't your baby 's daddy . jason : the paternity results prove -- that the baby is franco 's . monica : oh . well , i have to say , i know what it 's like to be on the receiving end of a betrayal . jason : sam was raped . monica : oh , my god . oh , my god . jason : um , franco followed us to hawaii for our honeymoon , and , um -- he , uh -- he drugged me , he drugged sam , he put me in this room with a tv -- and he made me watch . monica : oh ! well , this has got to be killing you . how long have you known that the baby was n't yours ? jason : i pretty much just found out . monica : well , now i know why you were so worried about telling edward . i mean , he 's just been relentless about wanting another great - grandchild . jason : edward will still be getting his great - grandchild . carly : you knew if you stood up for kate , sonny would tell me . it 's another transparent attempt to score points with me . johnny : [ chuckles ] you honestly think that i thought you 'd fall for that ? carly : then why did you do it ? you said you slept with connie to begin with to hurt sonny , and now you 're trying to fix things between the two of them ! what the hell ? ! i thought kate was the one with the split personality . johnny : what can i say ? i 'm complex . carly : why did you do it ? ! and can you please be honest with me for the first time ? ! johnny : i did it because i owe kate , all right ? i -- she 's the one who 's innocent here , and i 'm the one who 's guilty . todd : fine . you do n't want to play nice ? we do n't have to play at all . sonny : stay , stay , manning . todd : [ clears throat ] sonny : my advisers think i should have ended you months ago . todd : you have advisers . sonny : yeah , i told them that , you know , they were overreacting . sure , you -- you pointed a gun at me . but i could see in your eyes you had a lot of pain because of your granddaughter 's death . i thought , eventually , that you would , you know , cool down , be reasonable . my mistake . todd : i know . i think i 'm being pretty reasonable right now . sonny : i admit -- you do have a death wish , running that stupid little mouth of yours . challenge me in ways that , you know , nobody would dare to . yeah , right . giving me options . well , i have settled on an option , manning . i want to kill you right now . inspired by tuscany 's freshest and savoriest . johnny : what kate did is my fault . because i -- i knew the whole time that she was two different people and that connie was dangerous and that kate had no idea what connie was up to , but did i care ? did i tell anybody ? did i get her help ? no . instead , i went along with her stupid plan to hurt sonny , knowing full well the entire time kate wanted nothing to do with me -- and that there was a possibility i might lose you . carly : and you did it anyway . johnny : yeah , i guess i -- i do n't know . i guess i just lost sight of what 's important . and if i 'm honest , i figured i 'd lose you sooner or later anyway . carly : why ? johnny : it 's what i do . i crash and burn . no matter how good things are , the better things are in my life , i swear , the harder i try to -- to wreck them . and i do n't do it on purpose . i -- i do n't know . i guess i 'm broken . and everything i touch seems to break . carly : what have you done besides sleep with kate that 's making you feel so guilty ? olivia : sorry . i could n't bring sonny , but i do have good news . patrick operated on dr. keenan . he 's gon na be okay . kate : really ? olivia : yeah . kate : thank god . olivia : so , i take it , um -- i take it connie is the reason that they transferred you here . kate : i had a breakdown at the pcpd . i was supposed to have a session with dr. snyder , the psychiatrist who 's handling my case , and , uh , they left me alone in the lineup room . and there was a two - way mirror , and i -- when i saw my reflection , it was connie . and we got in an argument . i had an argument with myself . and -- olivia : and -- and sonny saw all this . kate : when he encountered her face - to - face , he -- was forced to believe that she was real . but at least he knows i did n't willingly betray him with johnny . olivia : well , that 's a good thing . is n't it ? kate : connie did something much worse than sleep with johnny zacchara . olivia : what did connie do ? todd : so far , i do n't think much of option three . sonny : you have n't even heard how it 's gon na play out . milo and i are gon na take you out for a ride , back of the trunk . todd : really ? what kind of car ? sonny : we 're gon na take you out to a marsh , where it 's nice and quiet , where there 's nobody around for miles . i 'm gon na use this little thing right here , and i 'm gon na put you out of your collective misery . todd : well , i 'm honored that you would take time out of your busy day to whack me personally . sonny : and then milo 's gon na take what 's left of you -- to the harbor , and we 're gon na throw you over the side . todd : so unpleasant . sonny : so that way , you will never have to use that stupid little mouth of yours . you want to know the best part ? todd : sure . sonny : michael and i are gon na send your daughter to prison for attempted murder , and no one will ever know -- not even the cops -- what happened to kate . how does that option sound to you ? todd : i think it sucks . sonny : too bad . it 's the only one i got . delores : it 's blood . call it in . get forensics down to take a sample . let 's go . where to ? delores : to find out who 's bleeding . luke : spanky , what the hell are you doing ? ' we 've got a corpse on our hands . tracy : i have a new nephew . luke : what , sam had her baby ? tracy : unh - unh . susan moore . luke : susan moore ? susan moore 's deader than this doornail . tracy : and before she died , she gave birth to my brother alan 's son jason -- and jason 's twin brother -- a twin named -- franco . luke : you mean that -- tracy : yes . that 's the one . [ gate creaks ] luke : uh - oh . cops again . what the hell -- did somebody install a homing device in this stiff ? tracy : what are we gon na do ? luke : [ sighs ] monica : there is no way that franco is your brother . jason : he got the dna from the fbi . the test results match . he 's my brother . monica : well , susan moore would not have given up a baby of alan 's in any way . jason : susan passed out . and when she came to , franco had already been sold off . monica : well , still , you ca n't just have a stranger come into a delivery room and take a baby out . jason : it was n't a stranger . it was someone who was with her the whole time , somebody that susan trusted . it was heather webber . heather : some people read palms . i read faces , and those frown lines of yours [ chuckles ] tell me that jason was n't too happy when he found out he was n't the baby 's daddy . sam : wow . you really are psychic . heather : i know it 's not what you wanted , but it was bound to happen . you reap what you sow . sam : excuse me ? heather : you really think you can run around breaking promises and not face any consequences ? sam : what are you talking about ? heather : you did n't deliver my letter to steven lars , and you promised to . sam : oh , my god . heather : maybe this will teach you not to break a promise to me . sam : if i were not pregnant , i would kick your ass right now . heather : you better watch your step , missy . cross me again ? you 'll regret it . todd : i can see where killing me might appeal to you , but i do n't think you 've thought this all the way through . sonny : actually , i 've given it a lot of thought . todd : no . because i 've been holding back one crucial piece of evidence for this specific purpose . may i ? sonny , may i ? i think that this might prove vital in your decision - making process . johnny : i 've hurt people . and that damage ca n't be undone . carly : you think you 're the only one here who 's hurt people ? hell , between the two of us , there is n't a person in port charles whose life we have n't trampled . johnny : you can be forgiven for what you 've done . and i ca n't atone for what i have . sonny : is this for sale ? todd : no . this is one of two versions of tomorrow 's late edition . in the other version , there 's no mention of kate at all . `` not at all `` -- that 's how my sister talks . in the other version , there 's just a really unflattering picture of llanview 's district attorney . and if i remain unharmed , i 'll run that version . but if anything -- and i mean anything -- should happen to me -- olivia : what did connie do ? kate : i ca n't even bring myself to say it out loud . she did n't stop at attacking dr. keenan . olivia : okay . honey , how can i help ? kate : you 're here . that 's helping . olivia : i owe you an apology . kate : why ? olivia : for all the grief that i gave you about reinventing yourself , changing your name , turning yourself into kate howard . kate : you were right , liv . turns out i was fake . i 'm more than fake . olivia : no , no , honey ! honey , you did it . you turned yourself into the person you wanted to be . right ? you got yourself a first - class education , and you rose up to the top of your profession . kate : i turned my back on my family , i broke my mother 's heart , and now i 'm in a mental institution . olivia : you have an illness . kate : i have a mental illness . right . olivia : look , i did a bunch of reading on this whole d.i.d . thing that you got . it 's totally treatable . you can get better . you can get your old life back . and , honey , honey , i 'm gon na be with you here every step of the way . kate : why ? why ? olivia : do you really have to ask me that ? honey , you 're the closest thing that i have ever had to a sister . [ chuckles ] olivia : you know that . sam : keep talking , crazy . heather : do n't call me that . sam : then stop acting that way . heather : i would never hurt a pregnant lady , but you wo n't be pregnant forever . sam : [ chuckles ] okay . fine . you can keep making threats . it 's just one more thing that i can add to the list to tell your son . heather : oh , what else is on the list ? sam : well , uh , let 's see -- the truth about jason and franco . heather : i thought you wanted to keep that under wraps . sam : jason is going to tell the quartermaines everything , if he has n't already , and i 'm sure he 's not gon na leave out the bit about you , the black market , and the baby . what do you think your son , steven lars , is gon na think about his mother then , huh ? steve : sorry about that . heather : oh , it 's quite all right . sam was just inviting me to her baby shower . i 'd love to come . thank you so much for the invitation . steve : that 's nice of you . sam : yeah . steve : yeah . anyway , i got to bail . the hospital needs me . heather : oh , of course they do . it 's quite all right . we 'll live for another blt . steve : i 'll put you in a cab home . heather : thanks so much . i 'll see you at the shower . oh ! i just thought of a brilliant baby gift . finger paints -- to encourage its artistic sensibilities . monica : look , this is an awful lot for you two to deal with . but , really , i think that you and sam can find a way . jason : we 're not together right now . and we really have n't had a chance to talk about anything , any alternatives , adoption , but -- she , uh -- she wants to keep the baby . i 'm -- i 'm just afraid that every time i look at him , i 'm gon na see franco . monica : are you sure that you and sam are over ? jason : i mean , she needs me to promise to -- to love this baby and be its father , and -- i just -- i just ca n't . luke : mmm . and then i said , `` i wish you 'd stop making jokes about the titanic . i had family on that boat . `` [ both laugh ] tracy : wow ! what a card . luke : oh , dear , we have company . tracy : oh ! hello , police people . can i , uh , get you some tea before my -- gluttonous husband sucks it all down ? hey sis , monica : when alan brought you home , well -- [ chuckles ] no , actually , when alan installed you in the gatehouse , i would have nothing to do with you . jason : i ca n't -- i ca n't blame you for that . monica : you were living proof of just how flawed and fragile my marriage was -- how completely alan and i had failed in our marriage . and i did n't want to have anything to do with you . i wanted you out , done -- until i held you . until i held you . i looked into your eyes -- and all that resentment , all that hurt , all that anger -- it just disappeared . jason : it 's different . monica : is it ? jason , you were innocent . alan and i definitely were not . you had done nothing wrong , except you were just a part of alan . and i realized that , no matter what , deep down in my heart , i loved him more than anything . so how could i possibly -- love you less ? jason : i got to go . i -- monica : jason ! do n't you think you can find it in yourself to do the same ? jason : i do n't know . monica : well , i think you owe it to you and to sam to find out . jason : [ breathes deeply ] luke : do n't get excited , anthony . there 's plenty of tea for everybody . delores : thanks , but we 're here on business . luke : oh ? something happen ? delores : we got a report of gunshots fired on the premises . tracy : that 's preposterous . luke : i did n't hear anything . did you ? tracy : we , uh -- we do n't have any guns in our house . my father used to have a collection . he sold it , and since then -- we do n't keep firearms on the premises . delores : well , your husband is here , so i highly doubt that . i bet he 's packing right now . are n't you , mr. zacchara ? carly : i slept with sonny when i was married to jax . so i did to him what you did to me . johnny : it 's not the same . carly : we both slept with people we should n't -- for stupid , selfish reasons . you know , i did it out of loss , and you did it out of anger . johnny : yeah , but being with connie was the stupidest decision of my life . carly : that 's how i felt about sonny . oh , god . i did n't mean to hurt jax , but i did , but that did n't mean i stopped caring about him , you know . i mean , the way you care about me and -- how you did n't want to hurt me . johnny : i do care .

'cause you can either save kate 's life , or you can destroy it . sam : well , i , um -- i have to pick up molly . jason : another childbirth class ? sam : yeah . jason : how 's that -- how 's that going ? sam : oh . not -- not bad . i mean , as far as coaches go , she 's , uh -- she 's a bit intense . jason : yeah , i can imagine . sam : would you like to join me ? heather : the door -- it was wide open . there was a time i was mistress of this house . monica : well , now you 're in violation of a restraining order . one more step and i will call the police . delores : mr. zacchara , do you have a gun on you ? tracy : shh ! ca n't you see he 's sleeping ? luke : just keep your voice down , please . delores : well , can you wake him up so i can ask him some questions ? tracy : absolutely not ! luke : both of you , shh . tracy : if i wake him , he 's gon na start talking . these unexpected naps are the only break i get from listening to his grating voice .

[ chuckles ] kevin : good point . well , now that we have that over with , why do n't we talk about why you 're here . your husband , dante , feels that you 've been having memory flashes . lulu : yeah , that 's true . kevin : and you do n't feel comfortable discussing it with him ? lulu : i - it 's not dante 's fault . he 's been nothing but supportive . it 's just -- awkward . kevin : you do n't have to worry about that here . it 's my job to listen . it does n't matter what you tell me . it wo n't upset me , it wo n't hurt me , and it wo n't shock me . this is a safe space for you to talk about your memories , whatever they might be . you think you can do that ? lulu : i can try . elizabeth : are you seriously still trying to interfere in my relationship with aj ? nikolas : elizabeth , i need -- elizabeth : you need to stop . whatever it is , i do n't want to hear it . nikolas : aj cheated on elizabeth already ? ! tracy : hard as it is to believe that any woman would want to sleep with aj , but i guess carly ca n't be picky . nikolas : what ? carly ? ! no , come on . that ca n't be true . she and aj loathe each other . tracy : well , the thin line between love and hate . i guess water seeks its own level . the two of them obviously slithered together in the viscous ooze of a lonely night . nikolas : are you absolutely sure ? tracy : yes . nikolas : trust me . you 're gon na want to hear this . aj : what do you mean somebody else might tell elizabeth about carly ? there 's no one . there ca n't be . nobody else even knows about it . unless you decided to open your big mouth . tracy : oh , you know me -- silent as the grave . actually , i was thinking about carly . aj : carly ? tracy : yes . carly . you remember her . unless there was some other drunken one- night stand you chose to relive . how do we know that carly is n't darkening elizabeth 's doorstep even as we speak , unburdening her soul ? aj : because you heard her . she does n't want anyone to know , least of all elizabeth . tracy : i sympathize . carly has never been terribly particular , but jumping into bed with you again -- whoo , new low . aj : so , we 're agreed . now that it 's official that the relish had been tampered with , there 's no reason for me to step up and take the blame to protect you . so , you 'll keep quiet . tracy : why are we even quibbling about this ? i have bigger fish to fry -- namely , getting you out of elq . aj : yeah , so i 've heard many , many times , and i got to ask you , just out of curiosity , how the hell do you intend on doing that ? ava : i 'm sorry . am i interrupting something ? sonny : [ sighs ] you d -- you do n't mean michael ? carly : no . i mean morgan . sonny : i told you , i got shawn on morgan , and he 's got -- you got some guys on michael 's apartment . carly : well , no offense , shawn -- your guys are n't doing a great job . sonny : somebody got through ? carly : yes , that girl from new york who may or may not be related to the mob family -- kiki jerome . she 's staying with michael and morgan . michael : sorry . i was looking for a pen . kiki : a pen ? michael : yeah . figured you would n't mind , considering that you 've already borrowed half my t - shirts . kiki : oh , yeah . no , it 's okay . uh , you might want to get your eyesight checked , though , because there 's a pen right over there on that table . michael : right . guess i did n't see it . kiki : yeah , no worries . morgan ! morgan : what ? what 's going on ? kiki : [ chuckles ] i caught your brother over here going through my stuff . morgan : oh , yeah ? is that true ? michael : yeah , it is . sam : oh , look . it says the highest mountain in africa is kilimanjaro . you know what they have there ? they 've got jackals and cheetahs and hyenas and gazelles and elephants and gorillas . it 's time for you to go to bed . i think you need to take a nap . what do you say , huh ? ooh , yeah . it 's gon na give mommy some time to figure out why silas is coming after rafe . yes . [ knock on door ] [ knock on door ] sam : be right there ! hi ! spinelli : uh , apologies for my unexpected arrival . you 're not otherwise engaged , right ? sam : no , no . of course not . come on in . i just put , uh , danny down . spinelli : okay . sam : what 's going on ? spinelli : well , it 's not an urgent matter . it -- it 's just that i - i felt like i had to inform you . i 've been replaying our last conversation , and i - i just -- i 've come to find i regret my half of it . sam : regret ? spinelli : yeah . i - i was so discouraged by my failure that i failed to see even the possibility of success , but that possibility exists . sam : oh ! is this about the quartermaine heir ? spinelli : yes , indeed . there is a real chance that we can find the real lauren frank . and -- and with our considerable investigative skills , a chance is all we need . a.j . hired us to find franco 's daughter , and that 's exactly what we 're going to do . aj : excuse me , how did you get in here ? ava : your housekeeper let me in . tall woman . looks like she could grind you into dust . tracy : got that right . aj : i 'm sorry . i did n't get your name . tracy : she is a business associate of mine , which means none of your business , a.j . ava : so , you 're the famous a.j . quartermaine . elizabeth : [ sighs ] you have made your feelings abundantly clear . you do n't like a . j. , you do n't trust him , you think he 's going to hurt me -- nikolas : b - because i 'm right . elizabeth , i 'm not -- i 'm not making things up because i 'm jealous or because i want you back . elizabeth : and yet -- nikolas : yet -- [ sighs ] it 's -- it 's not a secret how i feel about you . i 'm so in love with you . i want another chance with you . but you -- you made it clear that you wo n't allow me to -- to undermine a.j . , to do anything to hurt him in any way , and i have n't , honestly . elizabeth : that 's quite a buildup . nikolas : what i have to tell you is a fact . and if you just hear me out , you 'll know it . elizabeth : okay . i 'm listening . nikolas : [ sighs ] ava : i have to say , i feel like i know you already . i 've seen you so much in the news lately . but you 're much better - looking in person . aj : thank you , miss -- tracy : we have business to discuss , so if you 'll excuse us . ava : yes , well , tracy and i do have a meeting . but , as she is having some trouble coming up with the money for our little venture , perhaps you 'd like to hear about what i 'm offering instead . aj : well , that depends on what the project is . morgan : seriously , mikey ? you 're looking through my girlfriend 's stuff ? michael : she 's staying in my apartment , and her purse is open morgan : oh , so , you 're a lawyer . wait , wait . are you a cop ? oh , that 's right . you 're neither . michael : i 'm just your brother trying to watch your back . morgan : [ scoffs ] by violating kiki 's privacy ? kiki : [ chuckles ] michael : i told mom i 'd keep an eye on her . kiki : what are you saying ? mommy told you to spy on me ? shawn : look , sonny . i do n't know what to say , man . i apologize . sonny : there 's nothing to apologize for . you did n't know a girl was gon na get into the apartment . your guys were looking for a threat , not a -- not a kid . carly : i would n't write her off just yet . sonny , did you ever find out if she was related to the jerome crime family ? sonny : i did n't think it mattered . i did n't know she would show up . carly : she 's clearly chasing our son , which scares me for a lot of reasons . morgan got into trouble because kiki pressured him . sonny : well , i 'm sure morgan would have gotten into trouble all on his own , and the girl did n't bet for him . carly : she might as well have . when morgan started losing , she convinced him to keep racking up the debt . as far as i 'm concerned , she 's the reason he got beat up . sonny : maybe he 'll be a little more careful next time . carly : okay . what about the second fight he got into ? the one where michael stepped in to defend his brother ? what if one of the neighbors would have called the cops , sonny ? michael could have been arrested . this is n't just about morgan being careful . michael could have gotten into serious trouble . i 'm talking to you ! sonny : i - i got there in time , and i 'm sure he got the message . carly : no . no , he did n't . he badgered michael into letting kiki stay with them . sonny : there is no law that says that morgan can not have a girlfriend . carly : not this girl , sonny ! she could be involved in the gambling organization . she could have been the bait that lured morgan in . she could be the one who called the thugs on morgan . sonny : but you do n't know that for sure . carly : you do n't know her at all . hell , for all we know , she could be connected to a rival crime family . sonny : nobody has heard from the jerome family since the ' 80s . for all we know , they could all be dead . carly : i do n't care . sonny : this girl could not be related at all . carly : i do n't like her , and i do n't trust her , and that 's why i have michael watching her . kiki : i thought you were the big , bad older brother , mikey . but here your mommy still tells you what to do . michael : why do n't you leave me mom out of this ? this is between you and me . kiki : you know , she asked you to dig , and you say , `` hand me the shovel , `` right ? look , i would n't want to get you in trouble . she might put you in a timeout . [ laughs ] michael : you know , you seem a little defensive there , kiki , like maybe you got something to hide . morgan : oh , do n't be like this , mikey , okay ? you 're my brother , not my bodyguard . michael : would you rather have max and milo ? kiki : who are max and milo ? morgan : okay , they 're no one , and , please , just excuse my brother . he does n't mean to be a total jerk . he just has this , like , conditioned reflex to do whatever my mom wants , even when he knows better . michael : i happen to agree with mom . i do n't trust kiki . even though you ca n't see it , i think she 's working you . kiki : okay . you know what ? no worries . my life 's an open book . go through my stuff , mama 's boy . make mommy proud . dante : [ sighs ] olivia : hey , honey . dante : mom . what are you doing here ? you okay ? olivia : i 'm fine . just a -- just a checkup . what about you ? what about lulu ? did she remember anything ? dante : actually , with any luck , that 's what 's , uh , happening right now . kevin : your family found you on cassadine island . is that where these memories take place ? lulu : no . well , i mean , i - i do n't know . i 'm not sure . kevin : that 's all right . you 're in charge . you tell me what you remember . lulu : i - i think that it happened on the boat -- on the haunted star . kevin : now , what 's the first thing you remember about the haunted star ? lulu : [ gasping ] let me go ! [ gasps ] kevin : everything 's okay . can you tell me what you saw ? lulu : there was a man , and he carried me onto the boat . kevin : that 's good . now , stay in that moment . what happened next ? my favorite dress nikolas : look , i do n't particularly like involving myself in other people 's business . i 'm only telling you this because i care about you , because i 'm worried about you . elizabeth : no matter how many times i 've told you i can take care of myself ? nikolas : look , i do n't think i can run your life better than you can , if that 's what you 're implying . elizabeth : mm , now that you put it that way -- nikolas : what i do know is that you tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt -- to see the best in them , whether or not they deserve it , and that 's the mistake you 're making with a.j . right now . elizabeth : do you even hear how judgmental you sound ? nikolas : i 'm telling you the truth . elizabeth : okay . [ scoffs ] i know your family 's a nightmare . i would n't wish the cassadines on my worst enemy , but you have always been very spoiled , nikolas . you are rich and you 're athletic and you 're -- you 're good - looking . things come very easily to you , and i know you 've made mistakes . i know you 've even failed , but you bounce back . you 're -- resilient . nikolas : well , let me -- elizabeth : it 's not a strength everybody has . nikolas : let me ask you this . are you -- are you actually attracted to a.j . , or do you just feel sorry for the guy ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] i admire him . i admire him for having the courage to start over , even though he 's been knocked down so many times . nikolas : elizabeth , you do n't have all the facts . you deserve to know what the man you 're seeing is really like . tracy : there is no need to involve a.j . in matters that do n't concern him . i have your money . aj : hey , i got to tell you , your business venture sounds fascinating , whatever it might be . why do n't you tell me all about it ? tracy : you know what ? i 'm feeling a little chatty myself . in fact , i think i 'm gon na go call our mutual friend elizabeth . she and i have so much to catch up on , so i 'll do that now , and that will give you an opportunity -- aj : you know what ? actually , i 'll tell you what . that -- that wo n't be necessary . um , why do n't you guys finish your meeting , okay ? and no chatting with elizabeth . ava : you say you have the money ? i 'll take it now . tracy : no , no , no , no , no . you produce your daughter first . kiki : what are you waiting for , mikey ? start digging . you never know what you 're gon na find in there . you could find a pack of gum . [ gasps ] or maybe a tampon . michael : you know , you never , uh , mentioned , kiki -- do you have any brothers or sisters ? kiki : what ? michael : anyone who you 're concerned about , who you would n't want them to get scammed by somebody they met online who helped them rack up $ 50,000 in debt ? morgan : oh , give it a rest ! i bet the money , not kiki . michael : i 'll give it a rest when you engage your brain . look , you know nothing about kiki except for what she wants you to know , which could be all lies . morgan : yeah , well , maybe you 're just jealous 'cause i have something good and you do n't . michael : you know , forget it . i 'm out of here . morgan : yeah ! and do n't forget to file your little report with mom , too . i know you hate to disappoint her . [ door opens ] morgan : but you can find anything on kiki , 'cause there 's nothing to find ! michael : i 'm going for a walk . she 's your problem . [ door closes ] morgan : [ sighs ] sonny : all right . you know what ? we should worry about this girl . we should keep an eye on her . carly : thank you . what 's the problem ? sonny : the -- the problem is , is michael okay with it ? he 's gon na be spying on his brother 's girlfriend . carly : michael does n't trust kiki , either . even if she did n't have an agenda , she 's not the most considerate houseguest . michael had to sleep on the couch so morgan and kiki could have sex in his bed . sonny : did you really have to tell me that ? carly : look , morgan has been running wild way too long . we have to keep an eye on him and make sure he does n't make any more stupid choices , sonny . sonny : what are you gon na do ? carly : i 'm gon na call michael and see if he 's found out anything about that girl . sam : i do n't like the idea of searching for franco 's daughter . just saying his name makes my skin crawl . spinelli : it stands to reason that you would want to have nothing to do with that man or his offspring . sam : [ sighs ] oh , i mean , it 's not her fault . you ca n't choose your parents , but , still , i 'd -- i 'd like to keep her at a safe distance . besides , spinelli , i 've got my own problems to deal with . stephen clay -- his brother , silas , has filed for legal guardianship over rafe . spinelli : i 'm sorry -- did n't you tell me before that he wanted nothing to do with his young charge ? sam : nothing to do with him . i know . he changed his mind . spinelli : how does rafe feel about that ? sam : obviously , he 's not happy about it . and who can blame him ? the guy is arrogant . he is entitled , not to mention , he looks exactly like his broth -- that 's funny . the dvd player is open , and i have n't watched a dvd in days . [ tapping ] [ cell phone beeps ] sam : is that you ? spinelli : oh . uh , yeah , it 's me . [ cell phone beeps ] spinelli : but that would be you . [ chuckles ] sam : oh , that is me . [ cell phone beeps ] [ cell phone chimes ] [ cell phone beeps ] elizabeth : excuse me . [ cell phone rings ] carly : oh , my god . sam : look . we 're here at nashville 's renowned jimmy kelly 's steakhouse , sam : what is this ? why would someone send me a picture of jason ? spinelli : look -- i received the same image , as well . and it 's not just a photograph . it also appears to be some sort of invitation . sam : `` haunted star . 8 : 00 p.m . i 'll be there . will you ? `` what the hell does that mean ? who sent this ? elizabeth : this does n't make any sense . nikolas : what is it ? show it to me . that a photo of jason ? all right , what -- what is that supposed to mean ? elizabeth : i do n't know . i - i do n't know . why would i get this ? why would someone send it to me ? sonny : you okay ? carly : someone texted me a picture of jason . sonny : they send you a message ? carly : `` haunted star . 8 : 00 p.m . i 'll be there . will you ? `` sonny : who the hell sent that ? carly : `` i 'll be there . will you ? `` i -- who would do something like this ? sonny : somebody 's messing with you , carly . carly : using jason ? that 's sick . [ cell phone beeps ] shawn : somebody 's messing with you , too . michael : hey . aj : michael , come here . look at this . look what somebody just sent me . what the hell do you think this means ? michael : i have no idea , but i got the same thing . tracy : i do n't actually have to meet your daughter personally , but she does have to sign the document that my associate gave you , and just in case you misplaced it , i do have another one right here . let me refresh the terms of our agreement . i pay you the exorbitant amount of money you extorted from me . and in return , your daughter signs this piece of paper guaranteeing that she will vote with me to oust a.j . , my nephew , from elq . clear ? ava : crystal . morgan : hey . hey . do n't worry about my brother , okay ? kiki : that 's easy for you to say . he did n't go through your purse . morgan : yeah , it 's a good thing , too , because i got a lot of incriminating stuff in there . [ both chuckle ] morgan : look , i 'm gon na talk to him -- i promise you -- and my mom . kiki : you honestly think that that 's gon na work ? morgan : yeah . yeah . my mom just has trust issues . you know , she 's very skeptical of new people , and -- [ sighs ] you know , she 'll -- whatever she 's freaking out about , she 'll get over it . kiki : yeah , or she just hates me -- and your brother , too . what did i ever do to them ? i - i know it 's more what they think i did to you , but -- morgan : no , you did nothing but try to help me when i was in trouble , okay ? morgan : i convinced you to keep betting , even though it was the worst advice i could have given you , but i honestly did think that you would win back that money . morgan : i know . kiki : unfortunately , your brother was right about that much . morgan : no , listen . my brother -- he 's just very protective , you know ? it 's not his fault . just -- things were crazy when we were growing up , and he kind of caught the worst of it . so , he overcompensates . he feels like he needs to take care of me , even when he does n't . kiki : or he just flat - out does n't like me . morgan : no , he -- he will like you , okay ? i promise -- once he gets to know you . my whole family will . kiki : i do n't know , morgan . i do n't think they 're gon na give me a chance . i think it might be better if i just leave . dante : whatever lulu remembers , she 's -- she 's not ready to confide in me . i just keep pressuring her , and i do n't want to do that . olivia : honey , you 're allowed to want your wife back . dante : i know that , mom , but if i keep pushing her , i 'm gon na push her away along with those memories , and that 's why i think kevin can help . olivia : like a neutral party . dante : yeah . lulu 's not gon na be expected to be anyone that she 's not , and maybe she can just focus on the memories . olivia : okay . [ sighs ] i 'm so proud of you , honey . dante : why ? olivia : well , because you 're doing the right thing for lulu . i mean , kevin 's a professional . i 'm sure he 's got all sorts of shrink tricks up his sleeve or something . she 's -- she 's gon na come back to you in no time . i know it . dante : i do n't know about that . olivia : why not ? dante : well , because kevin thinks that -- that when she was gone , something -- happened . olivia : something like what ? dante : things that lulu does n't want to remember . her grandmother said the same thing -- that this memory loss is the result of her blocking out one traumatic thing that happened . kevin : lulu , we do n't want to force the memories . we just want to let them come to you . now , think about where you were when you had them and what prompted them . lulu : i was at my mother 's wedding . i was at my brother nikolas ' house . well , it 's not a house . it 's -- it 's more like -- it 's a castle on an island . kevin : wyndemere . lulu : yeah , a - and when my grandmother pronounced them husband and wife , i heard this voice . and it was telling me the same thing , and i could see my hands , and they were holding this bouquet . it was on that boat . kevin : dante told me that you got married in new york . lulu : [ breathing shakily ] it was n't dante that i was marrying . it must have been -- it must have been stavros . dante : you got to go ? olivia : yeah . my appointment . i 'm sorry , honey . i wish i could wait for you . dante : no , it 's okay . you go . go . do what you got to do . olivia : it 's gon na be okay . dante : yeah . olivia : okay ? she 's gon na remember you and how much you love her . dante : well , i hope so . you know , i took her to the haunted star . i was laying it on pretty thick about how heroic i was at the shootout , and she was giving it right back to me . olivia : yeah . dante : just like she did when we first met up there , and no matter what i said , she 'd shoot me down . but she had this smile on her face . i 'd do anything just to see that smile again . i love her so much , mom . olivia : i know you do , baby . [ smooches ] it 's gon na be okay . dante : yeah . lulu : is it possible ? could i have married stavros ? kevin : if that 's what happened , you have nothing to be ashamed of . he kidnapped you . he forced you to participate . and it certainly was n't legal . lulu , you did n't do anything wrong . you understand ? did something else happen ? lulu : i 'm sorry . i do n't know . i ca n't remember anything else . kevin : ca n't -- or wo n't ? tracy : i think that covers everything . you can see yourself out . ava : i think i can manage to find my way . tracy : good , because the sooner you leave , the sooner you can come back with that document signed and i can give you your check . ava : i look forward to that . tracy : there 's not gon na be a problem , is there -- getting your daughter 's cooperation ? ava : oh , do n't worry . i know my daughter . she 'll be more than happy to help . you know , you must want to take over elq pretty badly , seeing how much you 're willing to pay for it . tracy : i am willing to do whatever is necessary to reclaim what is rightfully mine . aj : why the hell would somebody send me a picture of my dead brother ? michael : i do n't know . somebody 's trying to get a reaction from both of us . aj : i 'd say it worked . ava : good day , gents . michael : who 's that ? aj : that 's some business associate of tracy 's . michael : what kind of business ? aj : yeah , that 's exactly what i 'd like to know . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , hey , hey . you 're not going anywhere . kiki : i do n't want to leave you , captain . i just think it might be best . morgan : it 's not best for me . it 's not best for you , either , unless you really want to bail on me . kiki : this is n't about you . this is about your dad , who thinks i 'm a mobster , and your mom and your brother , who just flat - out ca n't stand me . morgan : no . like i said , okay , things were crazy when we were younger , all right ? my mom 's solution was just to send me to military school . it 's pretty crazy , right ? kiki : so , they think i 'm a threat ? morgan : no . the thing with michael -- and this is n't an excuse , this is just a reason -- is that , you know , he 's going through kind of a bad breakup right now , and that crack i made at him earlier about , you know , him being jealous because i have something good and he does n't , you know , was cheap . it was cheap , but it was -- i mean , it was true . i do have something good . kiki : so , you are happy ? morgan : are you kidding me ? ! yes ! of course i 'm happy . i 'm crazy about you . you know that . kiki : well , i 'm crazy about you , too . sonny : is this some psycho 's idea of a joke ? carly : [ sighs ] wow . seeing his face , you know -- sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i think about him all the time . i dream about him . [ chuckles ] it 's always something ordinary , you know , where i , um , walk into jake 's , and he 's there playing pool . or i go to the apartment , and he opens the door . [ voice breaking ] and i 'm so relieved , because he 's okay . [ normal voice ] but he 's gone . he 's not coming back . god , i miss him , sonny . i miss him so much . [ sniffle ] sonny : and think whoever sent that invitation -- knows that . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . nikolas : no , it 's all right . elizabeth : it 's just a shock to see jason 's face suddenly appear on my phone . what do you -- what do you think this means ? nikolas : i - i do n't know , but someone clearly wants you to show up at the haunted star tonight . elizabeth : who ? nikolas : i do n't know the details surrounding jason 's death , just that he was shot at the docks . that 's all i know . elizabeth : yeah . by cesar faison , who was masquerading as duke lavery , which is completely bizarre -- something your family would do . but faison confessed to shooting jason in the back and then -- and , yeah , dumping him in the harbor . nikolas : but they did n't find his body , did they ? spinelli : can you trace who sent this message ? spinelli : [ sighs ] not through here . i need more sophisticated equipment . sam : but there 's a number on there , is n't there ? spinelli : yeah , but it appears to be a dummy number set up for exactly this purpose -- so that it would be untraceable . so , i 'm afraid our sender remains a mystery , as does his reason for sending us a picture of jason . sam : but , spinelli , we both got the same exact message at the same exact time -- a picture of jason . spinelli : right . your husband , my trusted friend and mentor , as well as a summons to the haunted star tonight at 8 : 00 p.m. , but , i mean , who would -- who would want to see us both ? sam : `` i 'll be there . `` spinelli : sam , are you okay ? sam : you do n't think -- i mean , that this could be from jason ? tracy : ned ?

[ chuckles ] [ knock on door ] kiki : coming . [ gasps ] mom ! what are you doing here ? dante : hey . how did it go ? lulu : we talked . he 's a really nice guy , but if -- if you were hoping for some sort of big breakthrough , it did n't happen . i 'm sorry . dante : that 's okay . i mean , it 'll take -- it 'll just take whatever time it takes , right ? so , are you free for a scenic tour of , uh , port charles tomorrow with yours truly ? lulu : yeah . maybe . i , uh -- i - i just -- i have to get over to the haunted star . you know , i 've got that party to host . elizabeth : whatever you 're gon na tell me about a.j . is just gon na have to wait , 'cause i ca n't even think straight right now . nikolas : i understand . it 's okay . are you sure you 're okay ? i mean , you look like you 've just -- elizabeth : seen a ghost ? nikolas : yeah . elizabeth : yeah , well , that 's how i feel . aj : i feel like i just got a message from the grave . michael : so , what are we gon na do about it ? sonny : i do n't like this -- using jason 's picture . it means something . so , what do you want to do ? carly : what choice do we have ? aj : so , we do n't have any choice . not if we want to find out what this is all about . elizabeth : i do n't understand this at all . but one thing i know for sure -- i have to be at the haunted star at 8 : 00 tonight . carly : we got to go . sonny : we could be walking into a trap , carly . carly : sonny , i got to know . `` i 'll be there . will you ? `` come on ! we got to know who sent this . you said yourself , it has to be some psycho . it would n't be jason . he would n't do that to us . sonny : you 're right . if we want to get answers , we got to show up on that boat . spinelli : sam , jason 's dead . sam : i know , spinelli . it 's the first thought i have when i wake up in the morning , and it 's the last thing i think about before i go to sleep . jason is dead . i know . but getting this -- it just -- i 'll be there . haunted star . 8 : 00 p.m . [ danny crying ] spinelli : i 'll be there , too . sam : i got to check on danny . spinelli : of course . and i 'll get to work on who sent us this . sam : thank you . spinelli : and i 'll see you later . sam : yeah . [ crying continues ] | lulu agrees to see dr. kevin collins . she tells him her memories of being dragged onto the haunted star and being married . she guesses that the groom was stavros since she did n't marry dante there . kevin assures her that she did n't do anything wrong . he asks her if anything else happened . she says she ca n't remember anything else . he asks her if she ca n't or if she wo n't . she leaves to back to the haunted star . |

emily : hi . sam : hey . emily : i got your message . how are you feeling ? sam : well , my body 's recovering . it 's just my heart that 's in pieces . jason 's left me . [ knock on door ] jason : elizabeth . elizabeth : i came to update you on sam 's condition . epiphany said you wanted to be kept informed . jason : come on in . elizabeth : well , i am glad to say , it 's good news . sam is steadily improving , and her bleeding stopped , which means you were correct to defy alexis and the court order . jason : thank god . elizabeth : that surgery really did save sam 's life . jason : i appreciate you telling me . but you could have called . why 'd you show up in person ? elizabeth : because i know what you 've done . luke : all right , you 've had your little joke . unhand my drink , un - butt my couch , and get the hell out of my franchise ! there 's a hellhole somewhere with your name on it . robert : well -- edward : let go of my guest . luke : what guest ? edward : he was n't kidding . he was n't lying , either . he was just my guest because i 've invited him to move in . luke : for how long ? edward : for as long as we are graced with your presence . carly : you know , where 's a natural disaster when you need one ? why could n't the jungle just open up and swallow her whole ? is that really too much to ask ? jax : do n't look now , but your jealous streak is on full display , again . carly : i am not jealous . i 'm not jealous . i just hate her sanctimonious guts , that 's all . jax : well , i happen to be very fond of her , and there 's no way i 'm going to deep - six her from my life because she gets on your nerves . carly : my last nerve . my very last nerve . jax : leave it alone . do n't go there . oh . hi ! alexis : hello , my friend . carly : great . another all - time fave . robin : is there any chance helena will just stay out of it ? nikolas : no . not until she 's buried in the ground . and luke doubts that even death would stop her . that 's what that whole vampire thing he talks about -- robin : vampire thing ? nikolas : yeah , he just -- never mind . anyway , my grandmother is the best case that i could ever have against having a family . robin : but that 's ridiculous . i mean , you ca n't live in fear of helena . nikolas : mm - hmm , not in fear , but resigned to . you know , wary of . it 's part of my makeup . but it does n't give me the right to inflict eternal paranoia on anyone else . robin : but you were going to . john could have been your son . what would you have done if he were ? jax : we were just about to call you . carly : we were ? jax : yeah , we were planning john 's christening , and we were hoping that we could count on you . carly : uh -- must have missed that one . alexis : are you asking me to be john 's godmother ? you betcha . i accept . nikolas : i 've accepted the fact that i 'm not john 's father . any speculation about what could have been just hurts too much . robin : i 'm sorry . i -- i did n't mean to open old wounds . nikolas : no , no , it 's -- it 's like i said , it 's just as well . any cassadine heir would have attracted helena like a shark to blood . see , her biggest frustration is -- is finding an appropriate heir to the title . stavros is dead . stefan -- who she discounted as -- as weak . robin : hmm . nikolas : and i 'm a disappointment because i 'm cursed with a conscience and my mother 's d.n.a . john would n't have had a moment of peace . dillon : ok , you know , it probably wo n't help my case much , but when i was on the adventure with luke , i liked it . i really liked it . georgie : really ? shocked . i ca n't -- i ca n't do this anymore . somebody has got to say it , and i guess it 's going to be me . i love you . i love you so much more than i ever thought that i could ever love anybody . but i 'm just not ready to be married . dillon : me , either . [ dillon sighs ] dillon : so -- the chorus of doom was right . we 're too young . georgie : i really wish we could have proved them wrong . dillon : we almost did . georgie : yeah . what do we do ? oh , gosh , what -- do we get it annulled ? dillon : do n't -- no , no . do n't say that word . i hate that word . georgie : ok . dillon : it sounds so official . it sounds like a business failing . it sounds like -- like the love we had did n't matter . i hate that word . georgie : it mattered . dillon , it mattered . dillon : do you regret it ? georgie : absolutely not . our intentions were pure . dillon : well , we did think i was dying . georgie : we wanted to be together , dillon , for whatever time was left . but you recovered , and we just -- we just needed time to grow . dillon : ok . all right , i agree . so -- georgie : absolutely . dillon : does this mean that we have to break up ? elizabeth : i stopped by the hospital administration on another matter , and you could imagine my surprise when i discovered that not only had lucky 's medical bills been taken care of , but his physical therapy was paid for , as well , for the next six months . and then i came to discover that our rent had been taken care of , as well as cameron 's daycare . so i called nikolas to thank him . but he did n't know anything about it . so i went through the process of elimination . since lucky and i are n't swimming with rich relatives , i figured that it must be either my fairy godmother or you . how am i supposed to explain this to lucky ? jason : tell him the truth . sam : the hypocrisy got to jason -- staying with me after being so adamant that sonny leave you . the way jason sees it is that he is the reason i got shot . and in his head , the only way he can protect me is by leaving me . emily : you mean until you 're better ? sam : i wish . no , he made it sound like it would be a permanent situation . emily : and you get no say in the matter , right ? sam : absolutely not . i love your brother . and i ca n't stand what 's happening between us . i was hoping that maybe you could convince him to just come talk to me . carly : excuse me . can i talk to you ? what are you thinking ? jax : you ca n't react like this every time i exchange words with another woman . carly : that is not what this is about , and you know it . jax : oh -- of course i 'm going to tell alexis that you 're john 's godmother . carly : i have bigger concerns than that right now . alexis is a cassadine , ok ? she 's john 's great - aunt by blood . what if she figures that out ? jax : how ? carly : i do n't know . what if she sees john in his christening gown and she 's , like , `` oh , that looks like great - uncle tom `` ? jax : carly -- carly : what about that birthmark of john 's that we think is so cute ? what if that runs in the cassadine family ? jax : whoa -- i think -- i think you 're overthinking this . carly : i think you need to be grateful that i am . i 'm being serious , jax . when you look at alexis , you see an ex - wife and a good buddy . i see a potential threat to the secret about john 's paternity . and another thing -- what 's it going to look like when you invite alexis to be the honored guest at the christening right after you asked nikolas to stay the hell away ? robin : oh , come on . what you 're describing is bleak and lonely . you ca n't sustain that kind of life . i mean , chances are , you are going to fall in love with somebody . maybe even back in love with somebody . nikolas : robin , emily 's with sonny now . robin : i know . but i have serious doubts about that lasting . it 's not a stretch to think that emily will come back to you . are you really going to turn down the chance to marry her and have a family ? nikolas : after what i put her through , i ca n't see her wanting to have anything to do with me ever again . emily : i want to help you , sam , but i 'm afraid i 'd do your cause more harm than good . i wanted to support jason through your medical crisis , but he was n't interested . i had to do something , so i cleaned up his apartment , i brought over food , and he barely said two words to me . there 's no way that he 'd want to hear anything that i have to say . sam : something 's changed . but jason is not so confident anymore . i do n't think he ever imagined that sonny would leave the business for you , or that you would go against his expressed wishes , but you did . you and sonny called his bluff , and now he 's stuck with all these things that he never wanted . having control of the organization , leaving me ? this goes against everything -- everything that jason believes in . i think he would listen to you now , emily . emily : you 're the one jason loves . sam , if anyone can influence him , it 's you . sam : that 's the thing . if -- if jason would let me have my say , he -- he knows that he would give in . that 's why he 's trying to stay away from me , so he can keep doing what he thinks is right . look , i do n't want you to plead my case . i can do that on my own . emily , i am asking you -- i am begging you to help me . elizabeth : you make it sound so simple . `` just tell him the truth . `` jason : unfortunately , it 's more than words . you have to live it , even if it kills you . elizabeth : jason , what 's logical to you is emotional to someone else . lucky 's already upset by taking what he calls charity from his brother . how is he going to react taking it from you ? jason : elizabeth , it 's not -- it 's not charity , it 's payment . you helped dr . drake perform a surgery against a court order . you risked your job , your career to save sam 's life . that 's worth more than i could ever pay you in cash . elizabeth : all i did was follow doctor 's orders . jason : ok , you can minimize it if you want , but we both know what you put on the line . and you deserve to be compensated -- just like i would have covered your expenses if you would have been fired for it . elizabeth : so payback ? are you sure that 's the only reason why you 're doing this ? jason : why else ? elizabeth : are you sure it has nothing to do with me crying on your shoulder about my depressing financial problems ? jason : if the timing turned out right , i 'm glad . elizabeth : because , you know , i ca n't confide in you if you 're going to run out and -- and fix every problem i complain about . lucky 's having a hard enough time that it was you who saved me from manny . but to be indebted to you financially -- jason : it 's not -- it 's not a debt , ok ? it 's payment , free and clear . and lucky ca n't let his pride get in the way right now . his family needs to get through a tough time . elizabeth : you know , if it were me and lucky , i 'd say `` thanks , but no , thanks , `` and walk out that door . but my little boy deserves the very best life i can offer him . so if it means accepting this gift , then i do with eternal gratitude . jason : good . then we do n't have to argue about it anymore . elizabeth : as long as we 're clear -- we 're even . i mean , all debts are paid -- for sam and for whatever else i do for you in the future . jason : that 's fair enough . elizabeth : thanks , jason . dillon : we still love each other as much as we did yesterday . what do you think ? is that a -- is that a fair statement ? georgie : you can speak for yourself . i love you more . dillon : ok , all right . well , there you go . so -- so just because we 're not married does n't mean that we ca n't still see each other . georgie : hmm . define `` seeing each other . `` dillon : going steady , hooking up . um -- dating -- exclusively , by the way , meaning you ca n't see other people . [ georgie sighs ] georgie : funny how we go from `` we `` to `` me `` so quickly . i assume you 're talking about diego . does that mean you 're not going to see lulu anymore ? dillon : lulu ? georgie : lulu . dillon : georgie , lulu is my stepsister . the only `` seeing `` i 'm going to be doing of her is when i have to . and by the way , i have no intention of inviting her to once - in - a - lifetime parties or kissing her . i mean , any of that -- georgie : stop , stop . dillon : what -- oh -- georgie : let 's not have this fight again . we need to stay honest , dillon . maybe marriage was n't the issue . the root of the issue , i mean . maybe making such a big commitment so soon was . dillon : i do n't have a problem being committed to you . georgie : really ? dillon : i don't . georgie : really ? that surprises me sometimes when you -- i do n't know -- run off with someone else and do n't bother to call or write me . dillon : georgie , i was halfway across the world in a jungle fighting bounty hunters to save lulu 's dad , for crying out loud . georgie : there it is . dillon : what ? do n't -- georgie : that light . dillon : what ? georgie : that light in your eyes . dillon : i do n't have a thing for lulu . georgie : i do n't care about lulu , dillon . i do n't care about lulu . i can compete with lulu . and i can compete with any other woman you bring in here . what i do n't stand a chance against is the high you get off of luke and his stupid adventures . luke : where 's alice ? i need a caviar sandwich and a bottle of icy vodka to take the sting out of this . robert : oh , we 're all out . but it was -- it was good . luke : you -- oh , no , not my cuban cigars , too ? robert : well -- luke : is there anything of mine that you have n't had ? robert : yet . luke : edward , you mark my words . you let this australian deadbeat move in here , and it 'll be like harboring a fungus . he 'll spread . he 'll lay claim to everything in sight . edward : you know , you 're probably right , luke , but there is a simple solution . you go , you take scorpio with you . robert : see ? that 's it . your franchise has the same shelf life as mine . we sink or swim together . but the best part is it 'll be just like the old days . jax : sorry . i apologize if there was any misunderstanding , but -- carly : but jax has already asked me to be john 's godmother . jax : right , but i wanted to invite you to the christening . carly : we understand if you ca n't make it , though . i mean , look at your life . it 's so busy -- a husband , two daughters , brand - new job as d.a . oh , and then now you 're finally taking care of that daughter you abandoned years ago , are n't you ? alexis : i know how much little john means to you . and in spite of that -- [ carly sighs ] alexis : woman 's presence , i would n't miss this christening for all the world . jax : thanks . bye . carly : nothing i said sunk in ? you did n't hear anything i said ? jax : well , wait . not inviting alexis would have been a red flag . carly : no , it would n't have . she just would have thought it was me and my witchy behavior . jax : so let me get this straight . you want me to be nice to nikolas only when alexis is n't around ? carly : yeah . wow , that would be great . could you manage that ? jax : mm - hmm . i have a meeting , so -- i 'll see you later ? carly : mm - hmm . jax : ok .

[ dillon laughs ] georgie : i -- i think things through . dillon : unlike me ? georgie : exactly . dillon : ok . so what -- i do n't -- what are you saying ? are we incompatible ? georgie : no , no , no , dillon . i have never , ever been happier in my entire life than the time that i 'm with you . but we are still growing and we are changing and evolving and we 're not going to be the same people a year from now , and we just -- we need the freedom to become those people , whether or not we end up together . i just do n't think being exclusive is the best thing for us right now . dillon : you do want to see diego . georgie : no , dillon , i do n't want to feel like i need to cut him out of my life , or anybody else for that matter , just because you do n't approve . dillon : why are you doing this ? why do n't you just -- why do n't you just admit that this `` freedom `` thing is a little bit of an excuse ? because you 're attracted to diego -- i can see that , and he 's just -- you want to break up with me so that you have a shot or just a chance -- georgie : no , no , absolutely not . dillon : ok , here 's -- you know , here 's the difference , all right ? you knew that i was going off with lulu . you knew where i was going and what i was doing , but how long did you lie to me , did you keep it a secret about you writing to diego in prison ? georgie : diego is a friend . dillon : yeah , he 's a -- georgie : diego 's a friend . dillon : yeah , he 's a friend and he found a friend in you , did n't he ? he took you to prom , he was the guy who kissed you on your prom night , not me . i 'm your husband ! georgie : dillon , stop ! dillon : no , i 'm not going to stop ! you 've been -- you 've been doing this for a long time , georgie . you 've been -- you 've been slowly easing me out of your life little by little and i just -- i 've been too dense to see it . but i get it now , all right ? i get it . i 'll give you what you want . i 'll -- i do n't know what that is even . is that a divorce , an annulment ? forget it . i do n't know -- you know what ? i 'll just -- i 'll have `` my lawyer `` contact you . georgie : whatever you say , mr . quartermaine . dillon , wait . please . diego : you must know escobar 's courting my father . ok , escobar thinks that if he teams up with my dad , they can bring you down . but my dad wo n't play , so escobar 's getting nervous enough that he wants to take you down himself . that 's what that dinner 's about . jason : why are you telling me this ? diego : well , i thought you 'd appreciate the gesture , maybe throw a few jobs my way . i think i 've proved i can handle it . jason : all you 've proved is that you do n't have loyalty to the people who pay you . for the last time , there is no room for you in my organization . get out . diego : do n't make the mistake of thinking that i 'm like my father . just because he went soft because of that baby does n't mean that i 'm afraid of anyone , including you . jason : then you 're even dumber than you act . [ door closes ] stan : kid 's flapping . he has nothing solid . jason : probably not , but escobar is probably feeling powerless . you know , i took out his brother , i disrespected him in front of his people , he ca n't get anywhere with alcazar . it makes sense that escobar took a shot at me , and he 's gearing up to take another one tonight . stan : so what are you going to do ? jason : i 'm going to rinaldi 's . elizabeth : i 'm sorry , em , but i do n't think you have a prayer of convincing jason to go back to sam . emily : i must 've missed something . when did you become such an expert on my brother 's life ? elizabeth : we 've just been talking lately , that 's all . emily : well , then maybe you can explain why the former champion of freedom to make your own choices is working overtime protecting everyone from that very thing -- me , sonny , now sam ? why ca n't jason see that he 's spitting in the face of anything he ever stood for , and he 's dead wrong ? elizabeth : because from jason 's perspective , he 's not wrong . bad guys take shots at him -- that 'll probably never change . in fact , i 'm sure it 's going to get worse now that he 's in charge . sam has already paid the price for being a part of his life , and jason feels that if he stays away from her , he can protect her from the consequences of his life . emily : wow , i -- i never thought i 'd hear you come down on the side of jason 's life . elizabeth : oh . i 'm a different person than when he and i were together . back then , jason 's relentlessly logical ways of breaking things down seemed cold and dismissive and now , jason 's ways make more sense than i realized . carly : hey . sam : you came . carly : yeah . i 've always been a little too curious for my own good . what 's up ? sam : you and i have never been friends . i know this , but on occasion , we 've come to a meeting of minds and i was just kind of hoping that maybe that would happen now . carly : i 'm listening . sam : you know that jason and i love each other . carly : i know that . sam : we broke up . scratch that -- jason broke up with me . he does n't think that he wants anything to do with me anymore . carly : you know he 's just trying to protect you ? sam : yeah , well , you know what , carly ? i do n't need to be protected from the man that i love . i called emily and i asked her to get jason and have him at least hear me out . carly : ok , that 's not going to work . sam : obviously , i am desperate or i would not have called you . emily does n't think she has the influence to change jason 's mind . carly : she 's right about that . sam : you do . you are the one person who can get to jason whenever anyone else ca n't , and i am just -- i 'm asking you , carly . i am begging you to help me . georgie : if we are breaking up over diego and some fun you had on an adventure , then we 're being childish . i love you so much and i -- i miss you . i missed you so much when you were gone , i did n't know what to do without you . i was upset i could n't go with you and -- just please cut me a little slack . trust that i can let diego in as nothing more than a friend . dillon : it 's not you that i do n't trust . ok -- georgie : diego knows that i love you . i think you need to know the same thing . dillon : ok . i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm being a quartermaine -- suspicious and controlling , and i 'm turning into my mother . i do n't want to lose you , either . georgie : i 'm not going anywhere , dillon , and i love you the same way i always have , annulled or not . robin : you 're going to wear a path in the floor . listen , that -- that thing that i said about you and my father ? i did n't mean it . patrick : me and your father ? like how -- how is that even possible ? robin : you are so alike ! you 're both conceited , you 're both glib , you 're both self - centered . you both think that you are god 's gift to women . patrick : ok , ok . really not feeling the love here at all . robin : why are you being so sensitive ? i mean , it 's not like i have n't said these things to you before . patrick : except for the father thing . robin : right . listen , forget about what i said , ok ? i 'm sorry . forget about him . i mean , there 's plenty of other self - centered jerks that i could compare you to . patrick : wow . thank you . robin : clearly , we should n't talk . listen , i came here today to be with you . now , can i interesting you in moving on ? patrick : i think my incentive 's back up . richie : your sister 's here . emily : wow . you look different . jason : got a meeting . i ca n't be late . emily : it wo n't take long . i 'm just here to talk to you about sam . jason : it 's -- it 's done . emily : no , it 's not , jason . i 'm not going to be dismissed . you be as angry with me as you want , but i still love you and i 'm not going to stand by and watch you break your heart and sam 's for all the wrong reasons . carly : sending someone to plead your case is n't going to work . jason does what he wants to do -- he always has , sam . sam : not always . he has done plenty of things for you against his better judgment . you know that , and i am not asking anybody to plead my case . i will do that all on my own if given the chance . carly : so you want me to soften him up a little bit ? sam : you want jason to be happy . you know he is happy with me . if you do n't do it for me , at least do it for him . carly : ok , i ca n't guarantee the outcome . sam : understood . thank you . luke : oh , bless alice . she revealed where she hides the russian vodka . edward : i should fire that woman . luke : come , spankster . come and sit by papa . let me bask in the warm , feminine glow of your sweetness . tracy : i would n't get too comfortable if i were you . robert only took a walk , not a powder . oh , no . please do n't tell me you reconciled . georgie : sorry to disappoint you , tracy , but dillon and i are more in love than ever . dillon : and that 's why we 're getting an annulment . robin : is your beeper off ? patrick : it 's in my locker . where 's yours ? robin : off for the next 12 hours . patrick : well , we 'll have to make do . [ pounding on door ] robin : oh . ignore it . [ pounding ] patrick : go away ! robert : it 's robert scorpio . drake , we need to have a little talk about your intentions towards my daughter . emily : you and sam were going to be married , have a family . i do n't want to believe that you 're capable of shutting all of that off at the drop of a hat . jason , i know for sure sam isn't . jason : sam was shot in my arms with a bullet that was meant for me . you think that 's going to stop ? it 's going to get worse . and i would rather walk away from sam than bury her . emily : you have another choice , jason -- keep sam , give up the business . jax : yeah , we thought it would be nice to have the christening outside instead of indoors if that 's still part of your jurisdiction . well , great . we 'll call to set up the particulars . thank you , reverend . i 'm very proud . nikolas . nikolas : hello . jax : you know , carly and i are planning john 's christening and we 'd like you to come . nikolas : i do n't follow . first you say you do n't want -- want me anywhere near john , now you 're inviting me to his christening ? what -- what 'd i miss , jax ? why now are you being so accommodating ? alexis : carly , may i speak to you for a moment ? carly : what 's the moral lecture this time ? how i 'm corrupting jax or how he 's sacrificing his son to the evil godmother ? alexis : i 'm not feeling very moral at the moment in that i am asking you to unite with me in a common cause . you and i both agree that it is n't healthy for sam to be with jason . i overheard you talking to her and i heard sam ask you to help her with jason , and i am asking as her mother for you not to . emily : you did it once . jason , you walked away from all of it -- sonny , the business -- to make a life with sam . jason : does n't work that way . emily : you 're always so practical . why does n't this solution make sense to you ? jason : because it 's impossible . there 's no going back , especially now . emily : why do you get to make all the decisions ? you 're the life sam chose , jason . my god , you loved her enough to ask her to be your wife . do n't you even miss her ? jason : every second . i went to the hospital to watch her sleep . emily : well , she could n't say anything to make you change your mind . do n't make this mistake . go to her . tell her how much you love her . do n't waste any time , jason -- [ gunshot ] jason : get down .

spinelli : oh , my duties for stone cold are mostly computer- , not calendar- related . you know , i do n't think jason even carries a calendar . he 's more of a , you know , `` whatever the current situation dictates . `` ric : well , we know what the current situation dictated , and that was alcazar 's demise , right ? spinelli : i know nothing of the sort . ric : oh , come on , spinelli , do n't try to con me , you 're not very good at it . the animosity between the corinthos and alcazar factions -- it 's the worst- kept secret in this town . alcazar 's gone missing . it would stand to reason that jason had something to do with it . spinelli : i did n't know that alcazar had gone missing , let alone when it might 've occurred , so , you know -- either way , i 'm sure that , you know , stone cold 's hands are clean . ric : oh , so you 're saying that you do n't have an alibi for jason when alcazar disappeared ? is that what you 're saying ? sonny : hey , ric ? you got a problem ? bring it to me , do n't bother my people . [ scene_break ] carly : wow . who would 've thought you , alexis davis , would get conned by a sociopath like james craig ? alexis : never mind . look , i came to see jax . but having just found out what kind of man his brother is , i thought he might need a friend . carly : no . you 're here because you want jax to tell you that jerry is n't that bad of a guy . he is that bad of a guy , he used you -- just like he uses everyone who crosses his path , including his brother . [ scene_break ] emily : getting angry at jax is n't going to change anything . nikolas : what ? emily , he -- he poisoned me , framed you , and -- and i ca n't deny that -- that the guy 's creative , which segues me into my next question -- what 's next ? what -- what torture is your brother dreaming up next , huh ? perhaps toothpicks under the fingernails ? what , while jax here , everyone 's b.f.f . , is protecting him . jax : is it really so hard to understand ? he 's my brother . nikolas : if you wo n't do anything to stop him , you are just as guilty of whatever he does next . [ scene_break ] skye : craig . what are you doing here ? jerry : i was hoping you 'd lead me to alcazar -- he has n't been returning my calls . and from what i overheard , i think he has a legitimate reason . so should i offer my condolences or congratulations for a team effort well done ? [ scene_break ] sonny : alcazar has brain damage , remember ? maybe he fell down the elevator shaft . ric : gee , i did n't think of that . sonny : yeah . ric : i should check that out . and i bet if that is where we ultimately find mr. alcazar , i would bet everything that i have that he was pushed . sonny : well , you know , alcazar -- he did make a lot of enemies . ric : yeah , but he also made a baby , which makes it very hard for me to believe that he left the country on his own accord . sonny : [ missing ] cut out for fatherhood . ric : you know , skye agrees with you . she thinks that he left the country . sonny : you know , the truth is i do n't give a damn what happened to alcazar , where he is , and neither do any of my associates , including mr. spinelli . so what are you trying to prove , that you 're shedding buckets of tears because you ca n't find alcazar ? you do n't think i know the compromising ties that , you know , that you guys had goes away with him ? ric : i see i 'm getting nowhere here . sonny : yeah , i see that , too . so -- spinelli : wow . wow , that was awesome , you know -- like the way you turned the questions around and made the corrupted one kind of squirm in his seat , and then saving me from those booby - trap questions , and then calling me one of your peeps ? i -- sonny : okay , get back . spinelli : um -- sonny : let me -- let me explain something to you . if you ever touch me like that again , i will bend your fingers back so far that you 'll be typing upside down . you got that ? spinelli : yeah . spinelli : ow . [ scene_break ] carly : wow . do you have some deep - rooted good brother / bad brother kind of thing ? i mean , you could n't have sonny , so you hooked up with ric , and you ca n't have jax , so , what , do you want jerry now ? what 's wrong with you ? alexis : carly , your husband is dealing with the nightmare of finding out that his brother is a certified psychotic , and -- and do you really want to stand there and take potshots at me ? carly : well , you 're an easy target . fine . i 'm sorry , okay ? but you are right about one thing -- jax is devastated . but i am his wife . i will comfort him , not you , alexis . alexis : i understand that . i understand how you feel . but do you think , perhaps , that you might be so blinded by your own anger from being in the situation that you 're not going to be able to do him any good at all ? [ scene_break ] jax : it tears me apart to know what my brother 's capable of , what he did . but -- nikolas : `` but `` no . no , there 's no `` buts , `` there 's no excuses here . okay , let 's -- let 's review , shall we -- poisoned me , framed her , held a hotel lobby full of people hostage , and then blew it up -- `` your `` hotel , no less . what else -- yes , shot robin , and then made emily and carly keep her alive with whatever they could find in the hotel . elizabeth -- terrorized her while she was pregnant . shall i go down the list ? jax : i do n't need a checklist of my brother 's transgressions . nikolas : no , no , i think you do because you were n't there and you did n't see it ! [ nikolas sighs ] nikolas : look , we could all be dead right now , including carly . what would you have done if your own -- your own brother shot carly ? huh ? would you still be standing here in front of me tap - dancing , trying to rationalize what he did ? emily : nikolas , listen to me . you 're being unfair . jerry 's a grown man , he makes his own choices . jax is n't responsible for his brother 's actions . nikolas : well , what about holding jerry responsible for his ? your brother , while emily 's own father -- his heart was failing , denied him treatment , and then pushed him out the door to die . should he have to answer for that ? emily : what jerry did to my father is unforgivable . but he 's gone , nikolas , and i do n't want anybody else 's life to be destroyed , including jax 's . nikolas : do you think that protecting jerry is going to make all of this destruction go away ? no . you stand here with an espionage charge dangling over your head because of him , because of jerry ! emily : okay , what do you want to do ? jax : i want to try to stop my brother from doing any more harm . emily : do you think that 's possible ? jax : if anyone can get through to him , it 's me . [ scene_break ] skye : you 're an anathema in this town -- everybody wants you dead . so why are you walking around , face in the open for everybody to see ? jerry : oh , it seems that jason has n't brought you up to date . well , you see , there 's been an interesting shift in the balance of power , as well as my future plans -- something i suspect that alcazar does n't have to worry about anymore . you two are an unlikely duo but , apparently , a very effective one . skye : i do n't like what you 're implying , and i do n't care to . i 'm meeting jason here because of our family . jerry : oh , do n't disappoint me with a lame excuse that is n't worthy of you . i can see in your eyes that you have blood on your hands . jason : go home . the cops are going to find alcazar or they 're not , okay ? it 's got nothing to do with you . jerry : spoken like the man who knows where the body 's buried . skye : how can you provoke jason after everything that you 've done ? and why are you letting him ? jerry : well , you see , jason and i have reached a meeting of the minds . jason : just go . go . jerry : you know , i owe you a debt of gratitude -- alcazar was a problem and you clearly solved it . and the body will never be found and no one will lose sleep over it , but do n't be foolish enough to think that you can get rid of me as easily . jerry : you see , you and i share a dilemma -- we 'd very much like to kill each other . but -- and we 're very capable of doing it -- but if i kill you , i destroy my new identity , throng old come after me with pitchforks and torches . if you kill me , the lives of people you care about will be severely complicated , none more so than emily 's . you know , she will spend the rest of her life in prison , and i hate to think of it -- you know , that sweet woman locked up for the rest of her life with murderers and prostitutes and who knows what else . jason : it 's probably not a good idea to remind me of what a bastard you are . jerry : but , you see , that 's the crux of our problem . when you see me , you see james craig -- a heartless terrorist , you know , who deserves torture before killing -- but i , on the other hand , have moved past it , and i heartily recommend you do the same . we 're practically family -- i mean , my brother is married to someone who is nearly your sister , and , you know , like all family members , you know , we do n't like each other , but we coexist . and we even do favors for each other , like you did to this pompous and incompetent alcazar . you see , one hand washes the other , even steven and all that . have a nice day . [ scene_break ] carly : jax knows exactly how i feel when it comes to jerry . alexis : which is what i 'm trying to say -- you went through something that i did n't go through . i thought it might be easier for jax to talk to me . carly : oh , yeah , talk to you . if you want to help someone , why do n't you help jerry ? he could use a friend , but be careful because he has a really bad temper . it 'd be a shame if he snapped and shot you , or if he slammed you up against the wall or pistol - whipped you . see , that 's what he loves to do when he gets really irritated . [ phone rings ] carly : excuse me . hello ? yeah , what 's up ? no , i did n't order 1,300 , i ordered 300 bed linens . well , why ca n't you -- fine . i will be right there . i have to go , so -- hey . you look like hell . jax : well , i feel like it . hey , alexis . alexis : hi . i was just -- carly : i , uh , have to go to the hotel -- there 's a problem -- and alexis was just leaving . alexis : yeah . carly : yeah . jax : actually , could you stay ? i need to talk to you . alexis : uh , sure . at your disposal . carly : call me if need anything . okay ? [ door opens and closes ] jax : i do n't really know where to begin . alexis : i do . look , i know everything . i know everything except how to help you . jax : you know , you could start by putting your nephew on a leash -- before he goes after my brother and makes things worse . [ scene_break ] emily : look , the only way to stop the violence is to back away . creating more is counterproductive . nikolas : so -- so i 'm supposed to what , emily , just let this maniac keep doing whatever he wants to whomever he pleases ? i ca n't -- emily : jerry is responsible for an ugly moment in time , but we ca n't let that define our lives . you have a son , we have each other . nikolas : i -- yes , i -- i know all that , emily -- until he wakes up one day and decides to send you to prison just for the fun of it . emily : he 's not going to do that . i 'm the only leverage that jerry has left , so let 's just let him it . let 's make the choice to ignore him . nikolas : i ca n't do that . emily : why not ? nikolas : i ca n't -- i ca n't because i love you and i wo n't let anyone take you away from me , including him . emily : nikolas , i know that it 's your instinct to protect me -- i love you -- but i do n't want you to . promise me that you 're going to leave him alone . nikolas : i want to because you 've asked me to , but i do n't think i can .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : hey . uh , i found this on the coffee shop floor . jason : thanks . you should be careful around ric , okay ? spinelli : right . yes , your -- your words are true and from a caring place , but do n't you think they 're a little less for my protection and more to distract you from your secret pain ?

[ laughs ] um ... it did n't hurt that he saved my life twice , actually , but we are working on phasing out the cheesy pick - up lines . dante : oh , that 's never going to happen . lulu : no . brook lynn : so how did you save her life the first time ? dante : oh , it 's pretty complicated . i mean , it 's been pretty crazy since i got to town . um , i should probably tell you , i found out who my father is . sonny . brook lynn : i 'm sorry . sonny corinthos , like , our sonny ? dante : yep . that 's the one . brook lynn : no . no way ! so sonny and your ma ? whoa . whoa . i can not get my head around this one , sorry . dante : yeah . it was n't exactly a banner day when i found out the truth . it 's been pretty rough . but thanks to this one , i 've gotten through , though . brook lynn : wow . you 've come a long way from trying to steal dillon away from georgie , right ? dante : what ? oh , so the dirt goes both ways . that 's amazing . i want details right now . lulu : no , no . actually , we got to go . we have plans . dante : she 's right . she 's right . we do . but you have to fill me in later on , okay ? brook lynn : yeah , of course . dante : hey , it was great to see you . see you . brook lynn : um , can i get a draft , please ? johnny : here , i got this one . olivia : brook lynn . what are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] claire : i thought you 'd want to know that jason is now officially in pentonville in the same cell as michael . jax : thanks for everything you did to make that happen . claire : let 's just say my superiors were highly motivated to see jason behind bars . jax : that 's not a bad consolation prize for them , is it ? claire : no . it 's a win - win situation . my guys get the big bust , michael gets a protector . the only one who does n't win is jason . jax : well , i 'm relieved , actually . although i 'm not a big fan of jason 's , i know that he 's devoted to michael . at least michael will be safe while he 's in prison . claire : how 's it going with the phone calls ? any influential friends who want to help out michael ? jax : no , not really . they 're all a little reluctant to help a mobster 's son , especially after sonny just walked again , so . claire : well , he was innocent -- this time , anyway . jax : well , that 's true . but it looks like a set - up , from their perspective . you see , it looks like sonny let michael come forward for the murder , hoping that he would get away with a slap on the wrist . claire : so if they overturn michael 's sentence , it could appear they 're cooperating with sonny . jax : right . i was told , however , if sonny were to go to prison , if he were to be convicted for any crime at all , that it would pave the way for michael 's release . claire : so we could be talking about another win - win , not that i need any more motivation . we take sonny down , and we 're also doing something good for michael . [ scene_break ] jason : uh , you 're going to have to tell me how the schedule works in here . michael : you do n't remember from last time ? jason : no . last time , they had me in this special holding cell while i was waiting for my trial . i never made it out to general population . michael : oh . well ... we wake up at 5 a.m . the lights come on all at once . it 's like pitch black to high noon . then , a loud voice comes over the speakers , tells us to get up , like , immediately , and make our beds and get dressed . we have 5 minutes to eat . we get yard time -- 2 hours in the morning , and then in the afternoon . and after lunch , we get split up into work crews . we do laundry . we do dishes . and -- oh , yeah . bathroom duty , which sucks . it 's the worst . it 's nasty . jason : what about free time ? michael : yeah . after dinner , they leave the cell doors open . they -- they close the cell doors at night . and nobody 's supposed to be able to get in . um ... to be able to get in . um ...

[ scene_break ] claire : i 've already looked over the casework you 've done involving sonny and jason , and there 's something i have to ask . lucky : okay . claire : well , on several investigations , you did the preliminary casework , but you pulled yourself off the case and cited a conflict of interest . can i ask what that conflict of interest was ? lucky : uh , it 's not something that i 'm real comfortable disclosing . it 's kind of personal . claire : okay . i respect your privacy . but honestly , after the debacle i went through in court , because crucial information was withheld , i ca n't just leave it at that . so , would you be able to tell me if this conflict , whatever it is -- will it stop you from going after sonny ? lucky : no , it wo n't . i 'm more than willing to do my job by the book . but i have to tell you -- if lines are going to get crossed , and busting sonny becomes some sort of obsessive personal vendetta for you , i do n't want any part of it . [ scene_break ] jason : you know , sonny and your mom and ... you know , all of us , we were hoping that you would have a different life , you know , a better one . i mean , i never thought you 'd be in a place like this , so i never taught you the skills that you need to survive . michael : i mean , i know how to fight . it 's -- jason : i know . michael , i know you 've hit people . you 've been hit . but this is a whole different ballgame here , okay ? obviously , these people are here -- hey , they 're here for a reason , okay ? if they did n't know how to fight when they got here , they know how to fight now . so i 'm going to teach you a few things to help you defend yourself so the person not only ca n't get up , but you hurt them so bad they do n't want to get up . michael : okay . um , i 'm in . i mean , i 'm a little surprised , though . jason : why ? michael : well , i figured you wanted me to lay low , stay out of your way while you 're doing your protecting , like you always do . jason : well , you 're not a kid anymore . we 'll start tomorrow .

[ lulu scoffs ] dante : i mean , i 'm assuming you were the hot chick who all the guys were falling all over . [ lulu chuckles ] dante : probably too cool for school and all that . but i wish i knew you back then . lulu : no , you do n't . trust me .

[ lulu sighs ] dante : look , i know something 's got you upset , and you 've been feeling this way for a while .

[ sighs ] dante : okay . before you say anything ... [ lulu sniffles ] dante : nothing is going to change anything , okay ? i love you . lulu : [ chuckles ] i love you , too . so much . that 's what ... makes this really hard . dante : it 's just you and me . you can tell me . lulu : [ sighs ] it 's about that , um , guy that your friend brook mentioned , dillon . um , a long time ago , some years ago , i was , like , obsessed with him , and i wanted him to like me . [ exhales ] so i , um , i slept with him , and it was my first time . i got pregnant . i was young , and i was stupid , and i mean , i was still a teenager , and i was terrified . i did n't know the first thing about raising a child . so , i made the -- the choice that made sense to me . i had an abortion . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : are you seriously saying that you think i want to kill my own child ? what the hell is wrong with you ? nikolas : i 'm saying that you 're acting like you do n't care about our baby , and it 's obvious that you want it to be lucky 's . elizabeth : that just proves you do n't know me at all . and that 's -- it 's really sad because you are the father of this child , and more than anything , i want to be on good terms with you . but if you continue to monitor me and accuse me of -- god , i ca n't even say it , it 's so crazy . i will always love this baby , just like i will always love cameron , and i hated his daddy . nikolas : i just -- i do n't know what else to do . you 're trying to cut me out , and i 'm telling you , i wo n't let it happen . elizabeth : well , i 'm sorry you feel like that , but you are totally wrong . so either you need to give me some space and show me some respect , or just stay the hell away from me . 'cause either way , i 'm going to raise this child on my own . now get out of my house . i ca n't even look at you right now . nikolas : just so you know , the days of you ordering me around are over . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] claire : it 's not a vendetta , okay ? and if by obsessive , you mean i 'm channeling my frustrations about not being a mother and -- lucky : whoa , whoa , whoa . claire : into my work , then i -- lucky : that 's not -- that 's not what i was saying . i was just talking about sonny . that 's it . claire : oh . i 'm sorry . [ lucky sighs ] claire : i 'm just not -- lucky : it 's fine . by obsessive , i just meant that i 've seen people , you know , like , good law enforcement people who have completely lost themselves trying to convict sonny . i mean , you 're not just dealing with a well - run organization and great attorneys . there 's , like , this force field around the guy , and nobody 's been able to penetrate it . and everybody wants to be that one hero who finally takes him down . claire : yeah . i see your point . lucky : you know , when people get fixated , they do things that they would n't normally do . i mean , we 've all been there . and , you know , lines get crossed . but there 's a difference between bending the rules and losing your soul . and that 's exactly what has happened to some of the people that have gone after sonny corinthos . claire : well , i assure you , it wo n't be me . i may be determined and focused . i may have cut a few corners . but i do n't break the law . and putting sonny in prison will be a big win for a lot of people , none more important than a scared kid sitting in a cell right now . and i want your help to make that happen . and i trust that if you see me starting to go captain ahab , you 'll rein me in . do we have a deal ? lucky : yeah . yeah , that sounds good . claire : all right .

[ scene_break ] carly : i do n't understand . the lab report said the pills were lithium . sonny : 300 milligrams . morgan 's prescription was 600 milligrams . those were not his pills in the bottle . carly : okay , well , could the lower dose cause the breakdown ? sonny : no , no . there was something else . residue from a placebo . so , when morgan said he was taking his medication , when he promised us , he was . but he just was n't getting any lithium . [ scene_break ] anna : you had to know what helena would do with a weapon like that . valentin : i did n't have the luxury of moral judgment . anna : no ? valentin : i was running for my life . i had stolen classified material for you . uh , sorry . your sister . i needed money . i needed lots of it . to pay for my new identity , my surgeries . and i will admit , it gave me perverse satisfaction to know that helena would be giving me the money , that she 'd be paying for my transformation . anna : really ? in exchange for a deadly weapon . valentin : which has never been used . and now she 's dead . so the chimera is no threat to anyone .

[ scene_break ] ric : i need to know that once we find laura , you 're going to be prepared to press charges . i know this is a difficult situation for you , but you know better than anybody laura spencer is a danger to herself as well as others . you 've been her intended victim more than once . lucky : skye , look , my mother 's sick . she was just trying to frighten you . skye : well , frankly , she did a very good job . lucky : she would never kill you . ric : lucky , i want you to go home . you are officially on leave , all right ? there 's no reason for you to be here . lucky : ok , my father is under arrest , my mother 's a focal point of an a.p.b . from where i stand , that is plenty of reason for me to be here ! ric : pressuring skye into not testifying is skating dangerously close to obstruction of justice . lucky : justice ? why do n't you show me justice in any of this ? [ scene_break ] alexis : if you want me to help you , you are going to have to tell me the truth . what happened to duncan ? luke : well , i was n't there , so there is n't much i can tell you . alexis : i 'll hear that . luke : i walked in on the aftermath . skye was unconscious on the couch . the detective was on the floor next to her with an ice pick in his back . alexis : are you sure that skye did n't kill him ? luke : yeah . my fear is that laura may have done it . alexis : why ? luke : i do n't know . to implicate skye ? i still think the most logical explanation is that this is all an elaborate setup , that one of my enemies has framed laura , that she 's still catatonic and being used . alexis : this sounds awfully elaborate . luke : i know , you 're saying that i 'm grasping at straws . and believe me , i would n't at all consider laura a possibility if it were n't for the fact that i went to the hospital and i checked it out , and all indications are that she walked out of there on her own . alexis : where do you think she 's hiding ? luke : i told you what you said you needed to hear . now you got to do something for me . you got to get me out of here -- tonight . and it would n't hurt if you can clear lucky of this , too . alexis : i do n't believe this . you are n't honestly arresting him now , are you ? ric : afraid we are . alexis : well , this is absurd . i was in the next room . if he had done anything , i would have seen it . this is a carefully designed case of harassment against the spencer family . ric : oh , come on . you do n't seriously believe that , do you ? alexis : save yourself the embarrassment and the bad press . release lucky and luke now . [ scene_break ] courtney : ok , you actually think that it would be hard for me to walk away from you and your stupid bet ? jax : well , it 's your decision . i mean , if you 're , you know , afraid of invoking sonny 's displeasure -- courtney : oh , god , jax -- [ jax chuckles ] courtney : come on . unlike you , i do n't live my life in reaction to sonny , ok ? i am trying to put my focus on something positive for neglected and abused children before they make the same destructive decisions that have damaged sonny 's life . now , in order to accomplish that , i need tons and tons of money . you have it , all right , and it seems to burn a hole in your pocket . you may be the most irritating man on the planet -- and you are -- but the bet stands . and , you know , all you 're accomplishing by being a smug , self - important jerk is making me more determined to win the bet . jax : you 're not going to win . courtney : ha ! jax : you 're going to sleep with me , and you 're going to enjoy it a hell of a lot more than you ever did with jason . courtney : oh -- [ jax laughs ] [ scene_break ] sam : here . jason : just leave me alone . sam : are you out of your mind ? sonny : what did you expect , you little tramp ? you think i 'd be happy about this ? carly : know what , sam is not worth it ! jason : i have never been disloyal to you ! sonny : yeah , right . jason : ok ? i made a bad choice in the moment ! now i have to deal with the consequences ! sonny : then deal with it ! jason : let 's go , sam . i got to talk to you privately . carly : yeah , no kidding . ok , now that they 're gone , you want to tell me why , if things are done between you and sam , this is eating you up inside so badly ?

[ scene_break ] ric : look , lucky has already obstructed justice . now he 's compounded the offense by refusing to leave the station and he 's trying to coerce skye into retracting her statement against laura . alexis : a plea for leniency toward a desperately ill woman hardly constitutes a felony . ric : ms. davis , you ever heard of witness tampering ? it 's in basic law 101 . i 'm sure you 'll find it 's very enlightening . alexis : all right , all right , all right , already ! just tell me what you need to let him go . ric : i want him to complete his leave of absence as he already started and i also want him to stay out of the ross duncan investigation . lucky : ok , can i say something here ? ric and alexis : no . alexis : consider it done . ric : i 'm not finished . i also want somebody to be responsible for lucky 's behavior . alexis : ah , there . how about emily quartermaine ? she 's a very nice girl . will you please keep him out of trouble ? emily : i can do that . alexis : there . satisfied ? ric : take the cuffs off .

[ sonny sighs ] carly : you know , all this is actually starting to make some strange sense . courtney walked in on jason with sam once . sam had her dress half off . she claimed that she spilled some wine on it . courtney suspected something else was going on -- not that they were sleeping together , but that sam was trying . and now she ends up pregnant with jason 's child ; something that courtney never will be ? believe me , if this is jason 's baby , she is going to use that kid to jerk jason around for the rest of his life . [ scene_break ] jason : you gave me that whole song and dance about how hard it 's going to be for everyone concerned and the only right decision was to leave town , sam , and i respected that and i knew sonny would be furious . he was probably going to tell carly the truth when you showed up . sam : this whole thing is your idea , jason ! why are you so mad now ? jason : because i do n't like to be jerked around , sam ! sam : ok ! ok , fine , i can fix this . i would be more than happy to go across the hall and tell carly the truth , then . [ scene_break ] georgie : you know , i do n't mean to be a spoiler or anything , but i really do n't want you to get your hopes up , because you almost caught this girl the other night when she came here . so what if she never comes back ? or she does come back and you catch her singing on this , so what ? we do n't know her name ; we do n't where to find her , if ned is even interested . dillon : georgie i thought you were n't going to be a spoiler . georgie : sorry , i ca n't help it . i think things through and what if this woman / girl -- dillon : girl . girl , i 'm pretty sure . her voice sounded young . georgie : what if she does n't want a singing career ? dillon : well , then why come to a studio in the middle of the night to sing ? i mean , why not belt it in the shower or buy a karaoke machine ? maybe she wants to , but she 's too insecure . either way , what does it matter ? what have we got to lose by getting her voice on tape ? georgie : well , nothing , i guess . dillon : ok . so if i 'm wrong , we spend a whole lot of time tomorrow listening to hours of nothing . but if i 'm right , i could be taking my first step towards redeeming myself with l & b by finding a new superstar . [ scene_break ] carly : you probably feel betrayed by what jason did to you , right ? well , why do n't you take yourself out of it and think about jason for once . he was probably hurt and vulnerable because of the breakup with courtney , and then sam took advantage and now she trapped him . so why do n't you be the friend to jason that he always is to you and just put aside your hurt pride and help him ? sonny : ok , first of all , it 's not like i was in love with sam , anyway . i 'm not turning against jason . i mean , i just need a minute -- i need a minute to just let -- let this settle . carly : well , maybe jason actually just did you a favor . maybe he just proved to you that sam was n't worth any of the time that you spent on her . and i hope she 's as greedy as i think she is . sonny : what does that mean ? carly : well , i ca n't imagine that she 's got much interest in wanting to be a mother , so maybe -- maybe once the baby is born , jason can pay her off to leave town . and then we can all raise the baby together as one big , happy , extended family . [ scene_break ] jason : it would be selfish to tell carly the truth now . i mean , trust me , it 'd be easier on me , harder on everyone else . michael and morgan need sonny and carly back together . and you , you ca n't run forever , ok ? if you 're going to settle down with this baby , you are going to need someone to help , someone to care about that baby as much as you do . i 'll be that person . sam : it 's not fair , jason , but i am -- i am very grateful . jason : ok , and one other thing , and it 's very important -- if this is even going to work , we need to learn to trust each other , ok ? the baby is going to need it . sam : ok . i agree . jason : ok . sam : where are you going ? jason : courtney needs to know . so that means i 'm going to have to look her in face , i 'm going to have to lie to her . i never thought i 'd ever , ever do that to her , but i do n't have a choice . [ scene_break ] courtney : ok , that 's -- that 's far enough . jax : whoa , hold on a second . you said that i could walk you home . courtney : i live , like , a half a block from here , jax . maybe you should quit while you 're ahead . jax : if i did n't know better , i 'd think that you were trying to dodge a good- night kiss . courtney : the thought had crossed my mind , yes . jax : who are you afraid of ? me or yourself ? [ scene_break ] alexis : if you release luke on bond tonight , it might go a long way in mitigating some of the charges that i intend to press against you . ric : you know what ? i can see now where you got your stellar reputation . you can bluff with the best of them , ca n't you ? but you know what i can do ? call . luke stays incarcerated for the foreseeable future . skye : alexis is pulling out all the stops at the moment , but ric is n't feeling very cooperative toward you right now -- something about a previous altercation ? luke : nah , forget lansing . laura 's waiting for me . you have to help me get out of here . skye : absolutely not . [ scene_break ] [ horse whinnies ] lucky : you know what , emily , thank you so much for dealing with ric . i just do n't have time to waste right now . emily : no , no , no , wait , wait , wait . the only person with any hope of getting through to laura is luke , all right ? all you can do for either one of them is just to stay out of the way . lucky : emily , nikolas would want me to help our mom . emily : nikolas would want you to help me .

what did i miss , jax ? why now , you 're being so accommodating ? jax : i 'm inviting you to john 's christening as a gesture of good will . nikolas : why make it at all ? jax : because it 's what courtney would have wanted . i may not like it , but you were important to her . nikolas : it never mattered to you before . jax : you do n't have to come . nikolas : i just want to know why you think i 'm such a threat to your son . robert : will you open the door ?

emily : i went over to jason 's to talk about sam . sonny : and ? emily : and while i was there , someone tried to kill him . i was -- i was standing in front of the window when the bullet hit the glass . sonny : you almost died ? jax : i do n't like you for obvious reasons . nikolas : look , courtney may have loved me , but you 're the father of her son . that wo n't change , no matter how much time i spend with john . jax : look , it 's your relatives that concern me . most of your family is psychotic -- with the exception of alexis , who went to private school and led some kind of normal life . your father and uncle and -- nikolas : i 'm well versed on my family history . jax : well , then you know better than anyone what your grandma 's capable of . she 's done everything in her power to control you . how many times has she tried to kill emily when you were married ? and let 's not forget courtney . pregnant and chained to a bed . nikolas : although i appreciate your concern , john 's not a cassadine . he 's of no consequence to my grandmother . jax : if your grandmother thought that he was important to you in any way , she would n't hesitate to use him . now , it 's unfortunate for you , but because of your grandmother , it 's hazardous for people to be close to you , and i will not take any chances with my son . robert : i did n't come here to check up on you . i swear , i did n't even know you were here . robin : well , now you do , so leave . robert : well , i got a few things to say to dr . kildare over here and -- hey , come on , guys , it 's not like i do n't know what 's going on . robin : what ?

i 'm not a little girl anymore . patrick : you have every right to be concerned about your daughter . i 'll tell you anything you want to know . where should we start ? maxie : robin , it 's maxie . um -- call me . i -- i wanted to know if you went through with it , if you told nikolas he was really john 's father . lucky : busted . relax . i 'm just kidding . why do you look so guilty ?

he 's trying to prove that my mother is right -- that you two are exactly alike . patrick : and why would he do that ? robert : yeah . i mean , why would i dohat ? robin : to mess with my head . you 're hoping that i 'll be so freaked out by all the similarities that i 'll dump patrick . patrick : wait . in order for you to dump me , we 'd have to be together , and i 'm not the kind of guy that gets dumped . robin : could you please put your ego aside for just one second and open up your eyes ? ca n't you see what 's happening ? my dad 's working you -- the beer , the cars , the spy stories . he 's setting the trap , and you are walking right into it . alexis : i 'm looking for a house . i just need it to be large enough for me , my husband , and three daughters . i 'd like it in a good school district . i do n't care much about the architecture , i just need the house -- today . hi . jax : hey . alexis : is john all right ?

jax : sure . what do you need ? alexis : i think the shock of me finding out that i 'm sam 's mother is -- is causing me to have a bit of a breakdown . jax : oh . what are your symptoms ? alexis : i 've aligned myself with carly , which you and i both know is beneath me . jax : besides insulting the woman i 'm with , i 'm still not following you . alexis : jason has broken up with sam , and -- and it was a very kind and a generous thing to do in that he 's acting in her best interest , because you know that she would n't be there if it were n't for him . and despite a bullet wound and despite her nearly dying , she 's still determined to win him back . jax : and that 's made you lose your reason ? alexis : apparently i have passed on my self - destructive gene to sam , and in an effort to try to save her from herself , i 'm contributing to her pain by -- by supporting jason in leaving her . but she does n't know that , so i 'm already lying to her . i 've had a relationship with her about five minutes . now , how am i going to build any further than that if i 'm keeping secrets from her already ? jax : well , you got to be careful , you know ? it 's -- sometimes that 's what parents need to do . carly : look , alexis came up to me in the hospital -- which can only be described as one of the weirdest experiences in my life -- claiming that we had something in common , that we finally were on the same side because we both want you and sam apart . and the second she said that , i realized that it was n't true . i want you to be happy , jason , and you were when you were with sam . jason : i 'll be happy knowing she 's safe . carly : you never used to be able to tell a lie . congratulations , you 're getting really good at it . jason : i ca n't tell emily to stay away from sonny because of the danger and turn around and say it does n't apply to me and sam , especially if she was -- she was shot , and someone took a shot at emily . carly : ok , so what 's this going to get you , jason , huh ? what 's it going to get you ? nothing , because you 're going to wind up alone . jason : it 's better than sam being hurt again because of me . carly : she 's hurting . you both are . jason : but she 's alive . that 's all that matters . maxie : hey . did they get you your prescription refilled ? lucky : i have to wait another week until my prescription would 've run out . maxie : that 's weird . what 's the point of having pain pills if you ca n't take them when you 're actually in pain ? lucky : i do n't even like taking pills . i 'm only using them because of all the extra physical therapy i 'm doing to get back to work . maxie : that 's unfair . have you tried talking to dr . drake again ? lucky : well , patrick 's off until tomorrow morning . maxie : how convenient . lucky : hmm . maxie : you said it yourself , lucky -- patrick 's interested in elizabeth . maybe he wants you out of commission so he can flirt with your wife whenever he feels like it . maybe we should get you another doctor . lucky : listen , i know you want to help , but there 's nothing that you and i can do about this . - ( wooden flute playing throughout ) r- ( inhales sharply ) robert : no one is trying to set anybody up . i just stopped by to give the good doctor a warning . patrick : and i 'm listening . robert : you look like a pretty determined guy . to make points with my daughter , you 're going to have to be . robin : oh , god , this is not happening . robert : look , robin is tough and opinionated , just like her mother . she likes to hang on to the controls . patrick : that much i know . robert : so , if -- if you ca n't handle a challenge , my boy , then god help you . patrick : i can . why do you think i 've , you know , stuck it out for so long for ?

[ door closes ] robin : so -- why are you trying to ruin my life ? nurse : dr. lee ? the labs you ordered on mrs . young are back . kelly : oh . thank you . jax : look , you have every reason to be worried about sam . it 's not as if you do n't want her to be with jason because he did n't go to the right schools or anything . he got her shot . as long as sam is with jason , then her life is in danger . alexis : that 's what i keep telling myself , but i 'm afraid i 'm rationalizing . jax : if it were john 's life in the balance , i would do whatever it took to keep him safe . when kristina was sick , you refused to give up until you found a way to save her . you 're a good mother , alexis . you should never feel guilty about trying to protect any of your daughters . sam : hey . did you talk to jason ? emily : hey . yeah . um -- i 'm sorry , sam . i do n't think anything that i said is going to make a difference . sam : what -- what happened ? emily : while i was at the penthouse -- uh -- there was another shooting . sam : are -- is jason ok ? emily : he 's fine . thankfully , no one was hurt . but i was in the line of fire like you were that night at the metro court . sam : ani 'm sure jason thinks he 's even more dangerous than ever right now . emily : i 'm sorry . sam : oh -- no . thank you . thank you for trying . i appreciate it . emily : and for all the good it did . sam : i 'm not going to give up hope . i called carly in here and i asked her . i figured if anyone can get through to jason , it 's carly , so -- emily : i wish there was something more i could do . juan : you could 've gotten to morgan inside the hospital at any time . instead , you go after him at his place . no one gets to morgan there . man : i 'm sorry , mr . escobar . it will never happen again . juan : oh , you 're right , because we wo n't get another chance . you tipped off morgan , and now he knows we 're coming after him . waiter : table for one , sir ? sonny : come on , escobar ! come on ! come on , hit me ! come on , come on ! jason : let him go ! emily : i hope carly has better luck with jason than i did . sam : well , even if she does n't , i 'm not giving up . emily : well , no matter what happens , you have plenty of other people who care about you . sam : thank you . nikolas : bye . emily : bye . nikolas : how you feeling ? sam : oh , you know , better . i 'm just -- i 'm ready to get out of here , that 's all . nikolas : i see you 've inherited the cassadine trait of impatience . sam : i -- yeah . i mean , it 's strange to think i have all this family out there and i know absolutely nothing about any of them . nikolas : after hearing some stories , you might consider that a blessing . sam : ok , try me . nikolas : ok . let 's see -- well , the cassadines left russia during the revolution , bought an island in greece , and then settled in so they could continue their obsession with power . there you go . sam : oh ? now , that sounds gothic . nikolas : do you have a problem with gargoyles and family crests ? sam : no . please , go on . nikolas : ah . well , your mother , she 's -- she 's my favorite relative . slightly controlling , though the sanest member of the family . i know you 've had the misfortune of already meeting my grandmother who has the distinction of being the most lethal of the remaining cassadines . sam : oh , yeah , that 's a lesson i will not forget . where is helena now ? nikolas : well , i had some people watching her at the family compound . she somehow manageto bribe her way out . it 's only a matter of time before she shows up . sam : when i was a kid i used to dream about having a big family , you know , with sisters and cousins and all these people that i was -- i was connected to , but -- i 'm a little overwhelmed right now . nikolas : i know . but having alexis as a mother is good for you . as for the rest of the cassadines , just be careful what you wish for . sam : oh . maxie : oh , hey -- problem solved . lucky : how ? maxie : i got you a prescription for twice as many pills . lucky : you got me a prescription for pain meds from a gynecologist ? maxie : beggars ca n't be choosers , and i got you these , too , so you can fill them out whenever you need more . lucky : you stole these ? what were you thinking ? maxie : that you 're in pain and patrick wo n't lift a finger to help you . lucky : do you know how much trouble that you could be in for this , that we could be in ? [ lucky sighs ] lucky : maxie , i am a cop , all right ? i ca n't go around forging prescriptions anytime i feel like it . i -- it 's against the law . maxie : you are a cop who 's in too much pain to go back to work . lucky , it might be illegal , but this is the only way you 're going to get the medication you need to support your family . that 's what 's important , right ? robert : i am not trying to ruin your life . i 'm just trying to make up for lost time . robin : ok . slow down . you do n't have to cram a lifetime of parenting into one afternoon . robert : oh , overcompensaon has always been a failing of mine . see , my problem is i still see you as that little 7-year - old that i left , you know , sitting on the living room couch and eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich . robin : ok , well , that 's cute and all , but i 'm not 7 years old anymore . i 'm all grown up . robert : ok , i understand that . but does your boyfriend realize how -- robin : patrick is not my boyfriend . robert : for what it 's worth , i think it 's not a bad thing . look , if drake was a lesser man , you would 've steamrolled him by now in much the same way that your mother did with that -- that idiot lavery and all the other roadkill that got in the way -- except me , of course . robin : of course . what are you trying to say ? robert : you 've got a great career and you should be proud of it . but unless you want to be home alone like your mother , you 're going to have to lighten up a little . robin : well , excuse me , but i should be so lucky as to end up like my mother . she has a great life . robert : i do n't want to get into an argument on that . so , why do n't we move on and start talking about sex ? ahem . jax : ok -- oh , here she comes . carly : what are you guys up to ? jax : um -- we have a little surprise to show you . michael : nothing little about it . carly : i love surprises . so , do i get a hint ? michael : mm - hmm . carly : a map ? ok , are we going somewhere ? michael : well , jax says -- morgan : on a trip . michael : that we could go wherever you want to . carly : he did ? michael : mm - hmm . jax : yep . carly : what 's the occasion ? jax : well , we got to christen her sooner or later , right , boys ? michael : yep . morgan : yes . carly : `` her `` ? you lost me . michael : well , jax bought you a boat . it 's all the way out there . see it ? carly : that 's not a boat , that 's a ship . michael : even better . jax : i wanted to make sure that there was plenty of room . it 's got five staterooms , gourmet galley -- stocked with frozen pizza , of course . carly : well , i guess you thought of everything . jax : all you ha carly : `` the silent lady `` ? jax : yeah . carly : that 's wishful thinking .

[ max sighs ] doctor : i 'll be back to check on you in the morning , mr . corinthos . sonny : when can i take these stitches out ? doctor : tomorrow should be fine . sonny : ok . doctor : ok . sonny : tell me escobar 's dead . jason : sonny , i could n't take him out in the middle of a restaurant full of witnesses . i was lucky to get you out of there alive . what were you thinking going there by yourself ? sonny : i was just protecting emily -- because you couldn't . robin : `` love `` ? you do n't even believe in love . robert : did n't you listen to anything that your mother and i said to you in the islands ? i mean , just because we ca n't live together does n't mean that we do n't love each other . you , on the other hand , seem to be allergic to it . robin : that 's ridiculous . robert : then explain to me why you 're so hellbent on remaining single . robin : i 'm not . i just -- look , some people wait their entire lives for love . i , fortunately , experienced it at a very young age with a very kind and caring man . loving stone and watching him die made me who i am -- so did loving jason , who i also had a relationship with . so , you see , i 'm not afraid of love . i just accept the fact that i may never find it again . robert : well -- um -- not with that attitude , you won't . but what about this -- this dr . drake ? i mean , is n't that a decent place to start ? robin : well , this does n't pertain to that situation . love is not what patrick and i are about . now , if you 're talking about sleeping with him -- well , that 's another story . maxie : you look betr . lucky : i feel better . but you -- you need to understand this was a one - time thing . you know , elizabeth -- she 's been picking up so many extra shifts that she hardly sees cameron anymore . i just ca n't let them go on suffering because i got hurt . maxie : lucky , you do n't have to explain to me . you 're doing what you need to support your family . lucky : i know , but that does n't make it right , and you took a huge risk , maxie , all right ? i appreciate the help , but you need to promise me that this will never happen again . maxie : i promise . and do n't worry , what happened today stays beeen us . lucky : thanks . ric : i 've been lobbying for months to move out of our apartment , and you refused to even consider it . i think your argument was that we already live in the perfect location . and now , out of the blue , you go and buy a house ? alexis : the real estate agent said it 's one of the best school districts in the county . ric : have you even seen it ? alexis : i took a virtual tour . it looks nice . here 's the web address . take a look . if you do n't like it , we do n't do it . ric : ok , listen -- let me get this straight . you purchased a house from a virtual tour that you saw on the internet ? ugh -- ok . all right , anything else i need to know before i , of course , agree to this carefully planned out , well thought out move ? alexis : when sam is released from the hospital , i want her to come live with us . ric : you might want to consider talking to sam about that before you buy a house with her in mind . she might not be as compelled to say yes as i am . alexis : i know . i will . she and jason have broken up , and she has no place else to go , and i want her to know that she has a home and she has a family if she chooses . nikolas : emily ? there 's something you should know . emily : what 's going on ? nikolas : helena is free and unaccounted for . she bribed the people i had watching her and is most likely on her way to port charles as we speak . emily : ok , i appreciate the warning . nikolas : just -- just be careful , ok ? you always were her favorite target . emily : it was never about me , nikolas , she just did n't want me married to you . you 're the cassadine heir . all she cares about is controlling you . nikolas : well , fortunately , i do n't have anyone in my life she can use to do that anymore . helena : a - boo . a - boo , a - boo . a - boo , a - boo . jax : get away from my son . helena : yes . oh , jax , how lovely to see you again . i was just admiring your handsome son . jax : really ? because you almost killed him once before by drugging courtney when she pregnant and throwing her off this very pier . helena : oh , now , why -- jax : i wo n't give you that chance again . helena : why so hostile ? there 's no need to be unpleasant . i 'm just here to offer my congratulations on the birth of your son . carly : you stay away from john or i will kick your psychotic butt into next week . michael : mom , when can we tour the new ship ? carly : not now , honey . will you take this and find fun places for us to go ? michael : ok , morgan , come here . carly : thanks . helena : you know , open water can be very treacherous to small children . carly : are you threatening my children ? because that will get you a bullet between the eyes . jax : helena , why do n't you give it up , ok ? you 're no longer untouchable . stay away from my son . helena : oh , such rage and passion -- it 's absolutely thrilling . oh , yes , something about fatherhood certainly has changed you . jason : escobar 's going to be dealt with . sonny : you got a timetable on that ? jason : you know what , sonny ? i do n't want witnesses , and i would rather not provoke a war right now . sonny : it 's not easy , is it ? being the one in charge ? trying to figure out the right moment to strike instead of going in guns blazing ? because that 's what you used to do all the time . you miss it , do n't you ? jason : yeah , i do . sonny : i like the suit . it looks good on you . jason : i hate it . sonny : you hate it ? you hate making decisions ? you hate the clothes you wear ? is there anything about the organization -- my organization -- that you like ? jason : no . sonny : it did n't protect emily like you thought it would . jason : nothing worked out the way i thought . sonny : let me give you some news , jason -- hardly anything ever does . it 's a bad idea to play god . believe me , i know . i 've done it most of my life . i 've made , you know , decisions for other people , and most of the choices that i made were selfish . but at the time , i thought it was the right thing to do , protecting , you know , someone by leaving them or turning them away . but the thing that you need to understand -- if you 're making decisions for somebody else , then you got to carry the blame if it goes wrong -- just like if emily had died in that -- jason : it would 've been my fault . sonny : well , you -- you would 've had to take some responsibility . jason : it would 've been my fault if you would have died at escobar 's , too . why 'd you do it ? you had no gun . you drove your own car . if you would 've gotten out of the restaurant , you would 've been shot before you got across the street . sonny : i was too -- i was too mad to care . jason : you had to walk out of here , get into your car , drive over to escobar 's restaurant . you did n't think at one point that you would be outnumbered ? sonny : i lost my temper ! i get to do that now , you know ? if some slimeball takes a shot at you and -- and emily 's almost killed , then i get to pick up a bottle and knock him over the head . because i do n't have to think things through anymore -- that 's your job . jason : i never wanted to run things . you know that . jason : i thought it through -- it was the one thing that i could make you give up so that you would let emily go . sonny : you miscalculated , huh ? jason : yeah , about a lot of things . it 's fine , i made the choices . i will deal with the consequences . i will run your business , and i will protect the people i need to protect , but do me a favor . do n't get yourself killed . stay tuned for scenes from the next `` general hospital . `` there are more than 29 million americans without insurance , [ next_on ] patrick : is it my imagination ?

[ scene_break ] ethan : since this is my life , my identity that we 're kicking around like a football , i 'd like to make sure i understand just what went down . you , holly sutton , are my mother . you carried me in your body for nine months . you gave birth to me , and then you dumped me off on the first family you could find . holly : i know that 's how it must seem , but i promise you it was n't that easy . ethan : well , you do n't seem the worse for wear , do you ? holly : i can understand that you would be really angry . and you have every right -- ethan : look , just stop , okay ? i do n't need your permission to be angry . and do n't you dare interrupt me while we 're trying to get this story straight . you would n't want to confuse us now , would you ? so , you pass me off on the first fool you can find , then go on your merry little way . and you do n't tell my father , that father being robert scorpio and not luke . holly : correct . ethan : okay , good . we would n't want to get that part wrong , would we ? luke : we would n't , would we ? not that part . so what the hell is the reason that you made me think that this is my kid ? [ scene_break ] edward : you get that idea right out of your head . you will live with sonny over my cold , dead body . michael : it 's my decision . edward : you 're too young to make decisions . sonny , you 're the reason that this kid lost a year of his life . sonny : we 'll skip the part where this is none of your business . we got to do this later . he 's not supposed to be upset . that 's what the doctors say . carly : it 's not up for discussion . michael 's not going home with either one of you . he 's going to live with me , his mother . michael : stop talking about me like i 'm not in the room ! carly : michael , baby , we know that you 're here , okay ? i 'm sorry ; you just need to calm down . michael : you 're not listening to me . you 're not hearing me , what i want . edward : now maybe no one in this room is willing to discuss what 's wrong with you , but i myself have no problem with it . the reason that you are lying in that bed is because of sonny . carly : we have not talked to him about that yet . michael : my dad told me everything . it 's not his fault . he was the target . edward : of course , it 's never sonny 's fault . no , no . you know , people in this town lose their lives all the time . and why ? because of some connection with sonny corinthos . but god forbid he would accept any of the responsibility . sonny : what do you know what i carry in my life ? carly : okay , stop , this is not good for michael 's -- sonny : no , wait a minute . what makes you think you have the right to barge in here and tell my son -- my son how to run his life ? edward : my right goes much deeper than yours , buddy , because we are connected by blood , and you are nothing but an interloper who stole him for awhile . michael : i ca n't take this anymore ! shut the hell up , all of you , and get the hell out ! get out ! jason : okay , the best way to get michael calm is to do what he asked you to do . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , you did the right thing seeking stone cold 's intercession . he has a calming effect on battling quartermaines and corinthoses . and he 's got michael 's interests at heart . and the little sir is doubly blessed because you stand eager to provide comfort and support when called upon . lulu : thank you for your positivity and your encouragement . you 're a good friend . spinelli : and in that spirit , i suppose i should be the bearer of potentially painful news that has recently come to light . lulu : what ? spinelli : well , your former love , the faithless mob prince john zacchara , has enjoyed carnal knowledge of the glacial one 's cousin olivia falconeri . [ scene_break ] luke : our road has never been a smooth one , english . but i do n't want to believe that you would deliberately hurt us like this . ethan : come on , do n't be so naive , luke . she never gave it that much thought . you were too busy playing your sick little game , were n't you ? holly : ethan 's right . i got bored . i was looking back over my life as something good enough to revisit , and , well , naturally , you came to mind . [ luke laughs ] luke : naturally . i just -- came to mind . that is so flattering .

[ scene_break ] lulu : johnny 's sleeping with olivia falconeri ? that 's surprising , obviously . i did n't know that they knew each other . spinelli : the overheard conversation between cousins indicated more of a drunken happening of a random kind . lulu : oh , that sounds like johnny . spinelli : it does ? lulu : yeah , that 's how he was when we first met . he was reckless and crazy . spinelli : that 's kind of an interesting reaction . fair lulu 's heart does n't appear to be wounded by what i find to be somewhat unsettling news . lulu : i mean , what am i supposed to do ? johnny and i are no more . if he wants to sleep with somebody else , that 's his business , that 's not mine . and i have more pressing things to worry about . have i mentioned that my family is about to implode ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : carly and i have come to an agreement about your access to michael . we 're willing to be reasonable , but you 're going to have to meet us halfway . we will not discourage michael from contact with the quartermaines . you 're welcome to visit him at the hospital , when he goes home , but just call first . show some restraint . we do not want to upset michael . edward : sonny , i wo n't let a temper tantrum brought on by a brain injury that you caused change my mind . every mishap that has befallen this young man in his short life has been because of some contact with you . and that ends now . michael is a quartermaine , and we mean to have him with us . carly : this is hard for everyone , edward . everyone . but you 're crazy if you think that you 're taking my son home because he 's coming home with me . he belongs with me or his father . we 're a family here . do you understand that ? edward : i 've always been very fond of you , carly . you 're tough and you 're resilient , and you 're smart -- everything that i admire in a woman . but you have one fatal flaw -- your weakness for sonny . and michael should not and will not pay the price for that . and that 's why i am taking him home with me . [ scene_break ] johnny : yeah , maxie 's confused . she 's torn between her inner wild child and , probably for the first time in her life , loving somebody more than she loves herself . anyway , she has convinced herself that she wants to sleep with me , and as you 've probably seen , nobility is n't exactly my strong suit . olivia : i do n't know , maybe it is . i mean , you were pretty honest with her . johnny : yeah . olivia : sounds like if she 's determined to stick her hand in the fire , then she 'll get burned . she 'll come back . you know , we 're all adults here . we make choices and we live with the consequences . johnny : yeah . looks like you 've been doing a lot of that today , huh ? feels like the whole world knows we slept together . olivia : right ? it 's a good way to keep something secret , huh ? johnny : yeah , sorry . olivia : no , do n't be . a , i do n't give a damn what anybody thinks about me . i never did . and , b , i got no regrets . kind of like you . johnny : feeling 's mutual . i got to tell you , i would say you were the last thing that i expected , but i am damn glad you came . olivia : okay , then . [ scene_break ] robin : it was n't nearly as bad as i thought it would be . and i feel rejuvenated . it 's probably all those yoga classes and hikes , i bet . patrick : that 's good . and how was the therapy ? robin : intense . patrick : what was more intense , the individual ? group ? robin : both , in different ways . but i think that i learned more from group therapy because -- well , i got to listen to the other women , their stories . it made me realize that , you know , i was n't psychotic . patrick : robin , if i had anything to do with you feeling that way -- robin : no . patrick : i just want to say i 'm truly sorry . robin : you did n't . it was -- it 's the illness . it 's the -- postpartum depression , it affects how you see the world and how you operate in the world . you know , all those things that i 've always counted on -- my strength , my independence -- somehow they were working against me , because the sicker i got , the more determined i was to just deal with everything on my own . that translated into neglecting emma and pushing you away . in the sorry sweepstakes , i 'm clearly the big winner . i just hope that the damage i 've caused is n't beyond repair . i guess that 's for you to answer . is there a way to fix what i 've broken ? is that even possible anymore ? patrick : well , what we just went through is n't going to go down as my favorite chapter in the robin and patrick saga , but i do realize that forces beyond your control were at play here , and , well , for me , there 's nothing to fix . robin : you do n't have to offer me blanket forgiveness . you get to be hurt . you get to be angry . you get to doubt me . but there is one thing i would ask . patrick : name it . robin : it might sound very hypocritical after all the lies i 've told you recently , but i would like for you to be honest . you know , if you 're pissed off , i want to know . if we want to scream , scream . the one thing i 've always loved about us is that we 're able to be completely honest . i just -- i do n't want to lose that . patrick : well , i agree , and i can do that . you know , i mean , i 've done a lot of thinking on my own about a lot of things . you know , about the , wl , expectations i put on our marriage , the way i chose to deal and not deal with what you were going through , you know , first by denying it , then basically bullying you into treatment , and , well , i 'm sorry for that . i was n't -- i wish i was better , i wish i was more aware , more patient . robin : you were just trying to love me . how can i object to that ? patrick : that has n't changed . patrick : sitting here , staring at you , it makes me realize how invested i am in our life together . i love you . robin : i love you , too , so much . robin : i think i 'm ready to go home .

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

[ cheers and applause ] robin : yes , and while that is something that we should all be celebrating , recently there was a study that was done that was quite disturbing to me . the study showed that there is a rise , actually , of new infections in certain groups , and the most prominent of those groups were young gay men of low means . now , i 'm sure you all realize what that means . it means that they are poor or homeless , and , uh , [ voice breaking ] that just breaks my heart . my first boyfriend , stone -- he was considered low means , and by the time he was diagnosed , it was too late . he already had full - blown aids . stone cates died 21 years ago .

[ scene_break ] nathan : i do n't know . maybe it sounds a little stupid . it just freaks me out a little bit . amy : what does ? nathan : well , it 'd be one thing if maxie was just living across the country . amy : which is hard enough . nathan : yeah , but now she 's there with her daughter and her daughter 's father . amy : right . spinelli , right ? nathan : yeah , yeah , they got a pretty intense past . amy : yeah . maxie 's always looking at the thing that 's right in front of her . and for a while , it worked in your favor because it was you . nathan : yeah , well , now it 's him . amy : yes . but that does n't have to mean anything . nathan : what if it does ? amy : then do something about it . if you really want maxie ... nathan : well , of course , i want maxie . i married her , did n't i ? amy : then fight for her .

[ chuckles ] you have any interest in greek antiquities ? andré : eh , pre - columbian south america is more my thing . anna : oh , yeah ? andré : but i definitely know what the chimera is . a mythical creature made up of different animals -- a lion , a goat , and a serpent . anna : right . [ chuckles ] makes you wonder what was going on in ancient greece to give them those bad nightmares . andré : that 's a strange name for the wsb to give to a biotoxin . anna : from what i understand , it 's a hybrid , right , of several different strains . it 's extremely contagious . if it were released , it would spread like wildfire . [ scene_break ] valentin : i will tell you as many times as you need . more importantly , i will show you anna 's hold on me has been broken . nina : yeah . hey , listen . i know . i 'm -- i 'm starting to believe you . it 's ... listen , i know we 're back on track , just -- let 's table this conversation when there , um , are n't so many people around . charlotte : papa , nina , guess what ? valentin : hm ? charlotte : i 'm gon na be in the magic show with jake . nina : [ gasps ] valentin : when ? charlotte : now . lucy said we could . so can we stay ? please ? valentin : as if i could say no to that face . of course , we can stay . charlotte : nina too ? nina : um , i would n't miss it for the world . charlotte : yay . nina : yay ! [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] lucy : thank you again for your very , very generous donation . laura : my pleasure . lulu : apparently , the magic act is back on . laura : oh . i guess that 's what all the hubbub was about then , huh ? lulu : i did n't realize that spencer had so much to do with it . laura : how can that be ? lulu : he sent the magic set to jake as a birthday gift . laura : no . that did n't happen . [ scene_break ] ava : you thinking of killing me , sonny ? sonny : i 'm just keeping my options open . ava : scott will know it was you . everybody will know it was you . and i hardly think they 're gon na let you get away with murder . carly : really ? not even yours ? ava : what is it you want ? sonny : we want to know what you did to morgan and why . carly : i know why . you pushed morgan into a downward spiral to keep him away from kiki . am i right ? ava : i was n't jealous of kiki and morgan , okay ? just to be clear . i only wanted her to be happy . sonny : and you did n't think that was possible with morgan ? ava : did you ? morgan was sick . and that sickness wreaked havoc with kiki 's life . or have you conveniently forgotten the fact that he held her hostage in that cabin ? carly : that 's a lie . i was there . it was exactly the opposite . he was trying to protect her . ava : or how he almost committed suicide . or how , because of him , my daughter was shot on the docks ! come on ! what mother would n't protect her child from that ? carly : except kiki 's not a child . and , hell yeah , things were difficult back then -- ava : difficult ? ! you call being shot difficult ? carly : but it was kiki 's choice to run straight into morgan 's arms . they were happy , and they were in love . and if she did n't want to be with him , that was her choice , not yours . ava : well , a mother knows best ! and i knew that kiki would be happier without him . and i knew that morgan would be happier , too , finding his own way if he could just let her go . sonny : and you decided to move it along , get your hands on morgan 's medication , change the lithium to fake pills . did n't you , ava ? did n't you , ava ? ava : like i said ... sonny : what ? ava : ... i was just protecting my daughter . sonny : ah , that 's what you always say -- just protecting . that 's the way you get away with it . ava : i do n't know what you 're talking about . carly : oh , yeah , you do . yeah , you do . you always hide behind your kids . but guess what -- just because you gave birth to avery and kiki , it does not absolve you from all the horrible things that you have done , because those are choices you made . right ? you chose to kill connie and to sleep with morgan and then to mess with his pills . no one forced you to do those things . so for once , stop blaming everybody else and own it ! own it ! sonny : admit it , ava . you 're the reason that morgan spun out of control . you messed with his medication . say it . say it ! ava : all right , i did it ! i did it ! it was me . [ scene_break ] nathan : thanks . okay , your turn . for what ? nathan : gut spilling . i spilled my guts . only fair you do the same . amy : nothing to spill . i mean it . this is a spill - free zone . nathan : oh , come on , come on . is there somebody special in your life ? amy : no . well , there is this guy . nathan : of course , there is . there 's always a guy . amy : and i 've liked him since high school . does that make me pathetic ? nathan : no , no . it makes you ... committed .

[ scene_break ] ava : [ sighs ] there . i said it . what now ? carly : do n't do that . do n't you dare play this off . ava : i have been tortured every moment since . carly : you have been tortured ? can you imagine what it was like for morgan ? trying like hell to get control of what was happening to him . and then he does , he really does , and he comes out the other side , and he is so proud of himself . sonny : he looked bipolar in the face , and he won . carly : until you rigged the game . ava : it was not like that . carly : that 's exactly what it was like because you stole that victory from him . you did . you did , and the worst thing is that he blamed himself for it . sonny : `` i could n't sleep last night 'cause i was so full of energy , and my -- my body was buzzing . `` carly : `` i do n't understand . i 'm taking my meds . i 'm going to therapy . what 's wrong with me ? `` sonny : `` i hate myself . `` ava : did morgan say that ? carly : he wrote it , ava , because he was too ashamed to say it out loud . he wrote in his journal every day because he could n't understand what was happening to him . and the worst thing is when he said , `` my parents are gon na be so disappointed in me . `` the fact that he thought about that for one second ... sonny : he did n't do anything wrong , ava . carly : you know , it 's amazing because when i was standing over your sister knowing that she was the one who planted the bomb , i thought , `` this is it . i 'll never hate anyone like this again . it would be physically impossible . `` i could n't have been more wrong . [ scene_break ] lulu : are you sure he did n't change his mind ? laura : i just spoke to him this morning . he 's got jake 's present . he wants to give it to him in person the next time he comes home to visit . lulu : and he did n't say anything about a magic set ? like maybe he bought him two presents ? laura : no , i think he would 've told me about that 'cause he 'd want to know whether or not jake liked it . lulu : he 'd want credit . laura : [ laughs ] exactly . lulu : maybe i misunderstood the girls , but i do n't think i did . laura : i 'm sure you did n't . emma & charlotte : presenting the wizard of awesome .

[ scene_break ] ava : you ca n't think that i wanted this to happen to morgan . switching his medication was supposed to be harmless . sonny : in what universe , ava ? ava : well , i thought , between his parents and his doctors , somebody would 've noticed that he was n't adjusting to the outside world , and he would 've been sent back to the freedman clinic . that 's all . carly : that 's all ? sonny : you took a little boy , ava ... ava : so kiki 's a grown - up and morgan 's a little boy ? ! sonny : you made it impossible for him to get help . ava : i did n't know that he would steal a car , sonny . i did n't know there 'd be a bomb ! sonny : i told you -- do n't bring up the bomb . even if -- if morgan had n't died , he would n't know that he 's taking sugar pills instead of lithium . doctor would 've upped his dosage . then what ? carly : then he would 've walked around in a drug - induced haze . ava : i really do n't think that would 've happened . carly : there was no safe ending to what you set in motion . you created all of this . i do n't know why that surprises me , because you are evil , horrible person who seduced my son . yes . ava : we loved each other . carly : oh , my god ! do n't . do n't even go there . and when he was finally free from you , you do this to him , someone you love ? you did this to my son ? ava : are you finished ? carly : not even close , no . ava : well , you 're wasting your time . both of you . you can not make me feel worse than i already do . sonny : i do n't know about that . ava : you can tear down our relationship . i cared for morgan -- deeply . i was devastated when he died . carly : right . the guilt has been overwhelming . but yet you persevere . bravo . ava : i grieved him , too , carly . carly : um , are we supposed to feel sorry for you ? morgan is dead because of what you set in motion , and it was n't a mistake , like it was with your sister . you hurt morgan intentionally . ava : he was n't supposed to die ! carly : but he did . he did . and you have to live with that .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i care about you . i want you in my life . i know that 's selfish . sam : no , i am selfish that way , too . i -- sonny : that night on the docks , when we were -- we were both at low points in our lives , we held on together . you helped me through the night . i helped you through the night . i got to tell you , i got to be honest , i thought that that was , you know , all that was going to be . ok ? and then i just -- you know , i realized that i could talk to you and that you were n't there to use me . you did n't ask me or anything . you gave me more than i deserved , and now you carry my child . i want you in my life , even if it 's from a distance . sam : there is no room for me , sonny . you made a commitment to carly and your family . sonny : i do n't know what 's going to happen with carly . i mean , she 's the mother of my boys , i respect her , and i appreciate her . but something 's missing . sam : you loved carly once . you could fall in love with her again . sonny : well , you know what ? we 've hurt each her way too many times . at this point , i 'm not sure if i can forget her affair with alcazar . neither one of us wants to get back to that old cycle of blame , lies , betrayal -- our hearts are just closed to each other , you know ? ahem . i 'm with carly because of the promise i made to god and to michael . sam : michael 's happy now , is n't he ? sonny : yeah , yeah , that 's actually a great thing , because , you know , he just lights up every time he sees me and his mother , you know ? tucking him in bed and having dinner , playing soccer . sam : that 's why you can do that , sonny . you are committed to your family . i 'm not saying it does n't hurt , and in a strange way , it 's kind of what attracts me to you , but i do n't think i could love you if you left carly and your kids for me . to be that careless with the family you have would mean that your love had no value . and instead , you have justified everything i feel for you .

[ scene_break ] lulu : so , uh , how are we supposed to do this ? johnny : well , we go on seeing each other and we do n't hide it from anybody . lulu : so your father can use me as leverage against you , and my family can totally freak ? johnny : you did do a good job standing up to lucky . lulu : yeah , lucky and nikolas are worried about me . they love me and their concern touches me , but -- not that i love the idea of lucky warning you away from me , but i know his heart 's in the right place . johnny : believe me , i know the feeling . claudia has definitely got her fair share of issues , but she 's loyal . she 'd go to the wall to protect me . lulu , if you ever want out , i will understand . lulu : i have made my choice . i am just wondering how we 're supposed to do this . it 's not a big secret that we 're coming here to meet . johnny : i know . the house is full of security cameras . this is the only place we can go for any privacy . lulu : do you think your father 's going to start to suspect that we 're double- crossing him ? johnny : i 'm sure he already does . sooner or later we 're going to come across some pretty damning evidence against him . and when we do , we do n't do anything . lulu : because it 's a trap . [ scene_break ] anthony : we need to go over the situation with john and lulu . trevor : well , luke left the country because there are money laundering charges pending against him . the zaccharas , however , are not implicated . anthony : i do n't give a damn about luke spencer . i 'm talking about the girl and what she means to john . anthony : why am i saying this with you in the room ? logan : why not ? i can keep my mouth shut . anthony : sure you can . get out of here . trevor : all right , how many times i got to tell you ? do n't threaten the girl openly in public . it 's going to come back to bite you . [ scene_break ] carly : morgan 's in the playroom . i do n't want to confuse him . spinelli : it is i who is most confused -- what -- carly : i need to get morgan out of port charles , start over somewhere with new identities . spinelli : you ca n't just up and leave your home and loved ones . carly : i was going to take a train to another state and try and figure out what i was going to do next , but this is way more efficient and definitely more secure if i have you do everything for me . spinelli : what exactly is the valkyrie expecting of me ? carly : i need you to find a town with minimal crime , no connections to sonny . i need you to get identities for me and morgan that ca n't be traced by anyone , especially sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know the truth hurts . is that what 's going on here ? you gave up elizabeth and jake , so now you do n't want me to have kristina , morgan , or kate ? look , i have a chance . just hear me out . i have a chance to be happy . jason : happy ? how can you be happy with michael lying in that place ? so you 're going to tell me that you 're going to leave this business , you 're going to be happy with kate , you 're not going to have guards on morgan or kristina , and you 're never going to think about michael -- lying there ? jason : we did this to michael . we chose this for michael . jason : the kid did n't have a choice about anything . [ phone rings ] jason : yeah ? spinelli : stone cold must come to the valkyrie 's aid at once . i fear she 's about to embark on a most ill - advised plan . jason : okay , i 'll be there . what you do , you pay for . you do n't -- you do n't get to have a nice life . and neither do i . [ scene_break ] patrick : some of what i said on the blog is true . robin : thank you . only some of it ? patrick : okay , i got a little bit carried away in some parts , but i was so focused on the negative that i did n't really talk about the positives , like , for instance , how much time we 've spent together . robin : are you sure that 's a positive ? patrick : still the same people . still have all the qualities that i love . robin : and the ones that drive you crazy ? patrick : anyhow , i 've been questioning my assumptions lately , i think . not that i 'm in a rush to change diapers and start babysitting , but i think it 's something i can try . robin : i 'm not pushing you . patrick : i know . robin : i do n't want you to feel pressured or obligated , or think that i 'll be upset or feel abandoned if y just decided that you do n't want to have any part -- patrick : robin , you 've made that very clear . it 's practically in your mantra , which is why i think i came up with this on my own . lately i 've been wondering what he or she is going to look like and what kind of personality it 's going to have . robin : it 's amazing , right ? to think that this little person is going to be with us in just a few short months . patrick : really looking forward to meeting he or she . robin : me , too . patrick : i guess what i 'm trying to say is it 's not about running and screaming to the nearest bar or nascar race . it 's about acknowledging the changes that are happening in my life and -- realizing that they 're not all bad . [ scene_break ] sonny : jason 's refusing to do what i want . diane : well , i 'm sorry , sonny , but if jason wo n't take over the business , there 's no way you can strong - arm him into it . sonny : he 'll come around . diane : with all due respect , jason made a very sound argument . your enemies are still going to know who you are and where to find you and your family . sonny : diane , there 's nothing i can do at this point . i 'm at that level . that 's why i want jason to take over , because he 's great at what he does . he 'll take over the business and that way nobody will have a reason to come after me . diane : maybe jason truly does n't want to take over the business . sonny : well , he 's going to have to , because i 've got to get out , diane . i 'm not letting carly take away my sons . [ scene_break ] spinelli : small towns with minimal crime are sprinkled like confetti across the continental u.s . carly : so pick a sprinkle . just hurry up , please , spinelli . come on . spinelli : does the valkyrie have a geographic preference ? mountains , desert , lakes ? carly : an ocean would be nice . a lake , a river -- i -- you know , the most important thing is sonny can not find us . [ door opens ] spinelli : all right . ah , stone cold , your presence is most welcome . carly : i knew spinelli would call you . please tell him to stop stalling and get to work . spinelli : the valkyrie has been exceedingly forceful in her demands and -- carly : no , i just want you to get new identities for me and morgan . and he can do it with his eyes closed . jason : just hold on -- hold on . we need to talk about this . carly : you 're not going to change my mind . unless you can get sonny to sign over paternity of michael and morgan , you -- jason : you 're reacting right now without thinking . you ca n't do that this time . there 's too much at stake , carly . carly : no , i 'm trying to keep my son safe -- maybe even save his life , jason . jason : spinelli . thank you . carly : you ca n't talk me out of this . i need you to help me . [ scene_break ] patrick : this scone 's delicious . robin : can you believe my mother brought them ? patrick : no , your mother does not strike me as a scone and jam kind of woman . robin : she 's not . i almost fell over when she showed up here wearing a business suit with a bakery box in her hand . patrick : she 's obviously overcompensating . robin : yeah , a little bit . well , you know , she was in denial about being a grandmother , and then she went to the complete other extreme in some attempt to be supportive , but that is not who she is any more than you 're a diaper- changing little league dad . patrick : hey , little league might not be so bad . robin : listen , it 's okay . there are no pre - assigned roles here . there are no expectations . patrick : so it 's okay if i do n't know what i want yet . robin : absolutely . patrick : i love you more and more every day . [ robin laughs ] patrick : i 'm not quite sure how me and you and this baby are all going to fit together , but -- robin : you know what the good news is ? we do n't have to figure it all out right now . we can just let go . patrick : okay , yeah , you let go and not overthink . i do n't think so . robin : okay , let 's be honest i will overthink this every single step of the way . but if we allow ourselves to just be in the moment , then maybe the future will take care of itself .

[ scene_break ] jason : carly , you 're panicking right now . carly : do n't tell me that sonny 's convinced you if he walks away from the mob , morgan will be safe . jason : i mean , it 's possible , but i carly : okay , fine , then you tell me that and i 'm going to believe you . can you guarantee me that if sonny walks away from the mob that he 'll never be a target again ? jason : no , i ca n't . carly : can you guarantee me that morgan will be safe if he 's ever near sonny ? jason : no , i ca n't . carly : then the only way to keep morgan away from sonny is to run . jason : `` run `` means you 're going to go into hiding , which is going to change your life forever . carly : but it will keep morgan safe and alive . jason : what about jax ? carly : jax left , okay ? he left me . he 's had enough and i ca n't say that i blame him . but the point is , he 's gone . jason : all right , but you say you love him so much , he loves you -- you do n't think he 's going to come back ? carly : i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe . but jax made a choice and now i have to choose to protect my son .

[ scene_break ] agent rayner : you do n't ask for much , do you ? alexis : i realize this is an unorthodox request . agent rayner : first you imply that i 'm a latent psychopath , and then you ask me to violate all kinds of agency regulations , not to mention a citizen 's right to privacy . alexis : no , no , no . i did n't say that you were a psychopath . i said you could be a psychopath . there 's a big difference . i 'm counting on you to be a very level headed , trustworthy agent . agent rayner : and if i do what you want , i 'm neither . alexis : here 's the deal . there 's this woman , rebecca amber shaw , who looks identical to my nephew 's dead fiancée . her name is emily quartermaine . try to follow this . emily lived in port charles , worked at general hospital , dated my nephew . this rebecca shows up looking identical to emily , in port charles , works at general hospital , is dating my nephew . now , this whole thing is really weird , really creepy , and i think this rebecca has some agenda going and i think she 's somehow connected to my stepmother . agent rayner : stepmother ? alexis : helena cassadine ? look her up . it 's very interesting reading . in any case , i think helena hired her , gave her plastic surgery , told her how to act in front of nikolas , and sent her after him like a heat seeking missile . agent rayner : why ? alexis : because he has control of over $ 10 billion . agent rayner : now , see , that 's the first thing you 've said to me that makes any sense whatsoever . alexis : mm - hmm . so here 's what i think . i think that you should check into rebecca shaw 's records , check everything -- her childhood , see if she has any juvie records . maybe there 's something she 's trying to cover up . agent rayner : assuming i find something , what are you going to do with it ? alexis : i will go straight to nikolas and hope that he will cut rebecca out of his life to stop her from getting whatever she came here for . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm not going to stand by and watch you manipulate nikolas . rebecca : i 'm not . elizabeth : oh , come on . you always wear these dark , depressing clothes and you black out your eyes with all this makeup . but not now , because emily likes lighter color clothes and natural makeup and suddenly you do , too -- at least when you 're around nikolas . rebecca : hmm , so if i put on some eye shadow , will you back off ? elizabeth : i 'll back off when you stop imitating my dead best friend to exploit nikolas ' grief . rebecca : he 's a lot stronger than you give him credit for . elizabeth : he 's still devastated by emily 's death . rebecca : you know , maybe you 're the one that has n't gotten past it , and maybe you are still trying to be loyal to emily by tying nikolas down to her ghost . ooh , that 's creepy .

[ scene_break ] lucky : what you just said , it sounded a little bit like you were trying to bait me . johnny : [ chuckles ] why would i do that ? lucky : well , that was my next question . what are you getting at , johnny , because i would hate to think that you were accusing me of being on sonny 's payroll . johnny : you see , that 's just the thing . detective , there are two types of people in this world . you got sonny lovers and you got sonny haters . which one are you ? or are you just an objective cop trying to do his thing ? care to clarify ? [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's a simple arrangement . you back burn putting me in prison , and we work together to take down johnny zacchara . claire : yeah , i get it . sonny : yeah . and then i set it up , like i said -- claire : and then we move in and bust him . sonny : okay . got a deal ? claire : what 's my other choice ? a full scale mob war ? no , thanks . i 'm in enough trouble . i 'll take the lesser evil . sonny : maybe you 're coming at me in disguise . because i 'd be pretty stupid not to realize that a partnership with you could leave me vulnerable to double cross . claire : guess that 's a risk you 're gon na have to take .

[ scene_break ] brook lynn : dante , is olivia okay ? dante : yeah , you know , it was just a pretty hard stretch for everyone . she kept the secret of my paternity for half her life . now that it 's out , it 's not above sonny to use her to get to me . brook lynn : right , well , the good news is that your ma 's not really pliable , so ... dante : no , but she 's human . i mean , we 're talking about the great love of her life , father of her only child . brook lynn : her only child ? you mean her son that walks on water , because that is exactly how she thinks of you . dante : well , the good thing is , most of the time she sees sonny for the piece of garbage that he actually is . brook lynn : piece of garbage ? wow , you 're not a fan of your father , are you ? dante : he personifies everything i 'm against . he 's an egomaniacal murderer . he makes everyone 's lives around him worse . he 's the reason i became a cop , literally . do you remember lieutenant poletti ? brook lynn : yeah , of course i do . he took in all the neighborhood misfits and gave them a place to stay , took care of them . dante : yeah . i was one of those misfits . sonny had him gunned down like a rabid dog . brook lynn : sonny is responsible for lieutenant poletti 's death ? dante : murder . i vowed that day to dedicate my life to getting guys like sonny off the street . and then i find out he 's my father . brook lynn : some kind of cosmic joke . dante : tell me about it . [ scene_break ] lucky : you keep vaguely accusing me of things ; i 'm starting to get a little offended . johnny : come on , lucky , you got ta admit , you 're quite the enigma . luke spencer 's son . so you grew up with , let 's say , at least a healthy distaste for the law , right ? yet you became a cop . you grew up with sonny as an uncle figure , fishing trips with sonny and luke , turning to sonny when you fell out with your old man . lucky : what makes you think you know me so well ? johnny : lulu . she told me all about your history with sonny . i mean , you left home when you were what , 15 , 16 ? huh ? sonny took you under his wing , got you a couple things , you 're doing odd jobs for him . and then the next thing you know , you 're living with jason morgan . lucky : yeah , i rented a room above his bike shop . johnny : still , it 's a quite cozy arrangement with known criminals , huh ? and now your sworn duty is to keep these criminals off the street . you 're just , you 're a tough read . you know . it makes you wonder . lucky : see , that 's the problem . when you spend too much time overanalyzing and dissecting other people 's motives , your mind goes all haywire with conspiracy theories to make reality a little easier to live with . johnny : i -- i 'm sorry . you lost me . lucky : well , take your sister , for instance . claudia got a kid shot in the head , but you 've practically canonized her . i mean , you made claudia the reason for everything you do . turned her into a victim when the truth is much , much more complicated than that , is n't it ? look , man , i do n't have a problem telling you exactly what you want to know . sonny is a mobster . and so are you . i 'm a cop , sworn to uphold the law and i take that oath seriously . so if you continue down this path of inciting war against sonny to avenge claudia and actual war breaks out ... not only will i go after sonny , i 'm coming after you . does that clarify things for you , johnny ? [ scene_break ] sonny : the truth is , i got my ass handed back to me trusting law enforcement , before and after i found out dante was a cop . 'cause see , i believe that if dante had a choice between a badge and his brother , he would choose his family , but i was wrong . and now i 'm paying the price . but it cost michael most of all . so i 'm not really too keen going down that road . claire : you called this meeting . i did n't . sonny : yeah , you 're right , because you 've been all about career advancement , ambition is a powerful motivator . but the fact is , i 'm a better get than johnny , and that 's exactly what you want . right ? you bring me in , you 're on the fast track . mayor walsh , governor walsh . the possibilities are endless . so , yeah , it occurs to me that you could be humoring me to make an end run . claire : you 're absolutely right . that 's a definite possibility . so again , why summon me ? sonny : why ? because as much as i should n't trust you , there 's a compelling reason why i have to . michael .

'cause , uh , carly , she ca n't be reasonable when it comes to sonny and jason . carly : franco is the danger here , not jason and not sonny . jax : sonny should n't even factor into this conversation . carly : sonny factors into this conversation because he is the father of josslyn 's brothers , so he is bound to be here from time to time . you know that . jax : you remember when we were married you actually wanted him to sign away his rights to morgan because morgan was in danger because of sonny ? you remember that ? carly : yes , i remember that . and morgan was in the middle of it and i just wanted to protect him and it ended up hurting morgan more , and that 's what i do n't want to do to josslyn . that 's why i 'm not going for sole custody . alexis : did you hear what she just said ? that 's exactly what a judge wants to hear .

[ scene_break ] carly : avery is sound asleep in her crib and completely adorable . sonny : as she always is . carly : and we never have to worry about her being taken away from us ever again . [ glasses clink ] sonny : uh , since when ? carly : since i got ava to back off for good . [ scene_break ] hayden : thank you for everything you 've done for me tonight , curtis . you were absolutely correct . it would have been a big mistake to go back to wyndemere . curtis : yeah , well , uh , nikolas -- completely out of control tonight . you need to stay completely away from the dude . hayden : yeah , well , i 'm -- i 'm gon na go up to the room you arranged for me and go to sleep . curtis : i 'll go with you , make sure you get there safely . hayden : you do n't have to do that . curtis : oh , yeah , i do . what if he decides to come back ? [ scene_break ] [ thunder rumbles ] sam : jason ! jason . what the hell happened in here ? where 's nikolas ? jason : he 's down there . [ thunder crashes ] [ scene_break ] carly : okay , so you and michael were on your way to puerto rico ... sonny : right . carly : ... and ava showed up here , demanding avery . so i had to figure out something to stall . sonny : how ? carly : well , ava was here , and she was bragging about having avery 's nursery remodeled , and so i had max intercept the furniture delivery . sonny : that 's quick thinking . [ laughs ] carly : well , i mean , i have to credit max for everything , because he managed to find that delivery truck and stage an accident . so , with no crib for avery to sleep in , ava was delayed . but she said she was gon na be back tomorrow , so i had to figure out something to do . sonny : i hate that you have to handle ava . it 's just -- carly : you do n't think i can handle ava ? sonny : no , i know you can . you should n't have to . carly : well ... as it turned out , i have morgan 's keys . sonny : uh - huh . carly : and morgan still has a key to ava 's penthouse . and i knew that ava was gon na be at the nurses ' ball , so i let myself into ava 's penthouse , and i tore that place apart until i hit pay dirt . sonny : tell me that you found ava -- the recording of ava confessing to the -- carly : no , no , no . you know that 's what i was going for . sonny : yes . carly : but i did find the next best thing . well -- i mean ... i found a video of ava having sex -- [ both chuckle ] carly : oh , my god sex -- sonny : what ? [ laughs ] carly : ... with district attorney paul hornsby . [ scene_break ] anna : so , the charges against me are officially dropped ? really ? paul : yes . a judge signed off on it . you 're a free woman . [ scene_break ] andré : i got a chance to meet your husband patrick when i first started at gh . he made me feel right at home . robin : yeah , that 's my husband . andré : and your mother is a very special person , too . robin : she is . it 's just this last year , after duke 's murder , has really -- it 's taken a toll on her . i mean , emma and i skype with her all the time , but ultimately , we 're 3,000 miles away . i just -- i wish i could do more . andré : well , you and your daughter are a great comfort to her , and she 's not alone here . she has many friends . robin : that 's great to hear . andré : if you 'll excuse me , i should go . i do n't know where my date went . [ both laugh ] andré : have a great evening . robin : you , too . thank you . nice to meet you . andré : you , too . paul : it 's as if it never happened . your record 's been expunged . officially , you never tried to murder carlos rivera . there are no charges against me , either , so i guess we 're both out from under that cloud . anna : we are nothing . i 'm grateful for whatever part you played in dropping the charges , but beyond that , there 's nothing between us . there never will be . let 's go . ava : come with me . i need you to handle carly . robin : mom . mom ! did i hear da hornsby right ? did you really try to kill carlos rivera ? [ scene_break ] jordan : sabrina aided and abetted a fugitive . carlos rivera was wanted on suspicion of murder , and she obstructed justice . she fled this jurisdiction with him instead of turning him in . michael : and you feel you 're upholding the law by arresting her ? jordan : oh , i know i am . michael : laws are supposed to protect people and benefit the community . now , who does it benefit if you arrest somebody who we all know is no threat to anyone ? sabrina : michael . [ sighs ] thank you , but you do n't have to fight for me . i deserve to be arrested . [ scene_break ] tracy : we need to be quiet . i 'm hoping he will go to sleep . dillon : really ? because you two seemed to be having quite the conversation there . tracy : yeah , well , you caught me having a sentimental moment . [ laughs ] dillon : you do n't have to cover with me , mom . tracy : ooh ! dillon : oh . i like seeing you like this . tracy : well , um , really ? even though you and your brother practically eviscerated me for wanting to keep him ? dillon : we were concerned , yes , but after seeing that you went through all of the legal channels , we calmed down . although , i would n't be surprised if you pulled some strings to make this happen so quickly . but either way , you are officially that little guy 's foster mom , which makes him one lucky kid . tracy : i agree . i do n't think that your brother or your cousin michael would agree . dillon : i am on your side . you 're entitled to a little bit of happiness , especially after everything my father put you through and all the time you spent in the hospital . tracy : thank you , sweetheart . dillon : i hope that you 're not too disappointed when the time comes for you to give up the baby . [ scene_break ] curtis : oh , nikolas knows you 're about one wake - up away from talking to the cops and turning his crooked ass in for attempted murder . hayden : yeah , well , he 's trying to buy my silence by returning the diamonds to me . curtis : oh . hayden : i told him i was on my way home so we could talk , so he 's sitting at wyndemere right now , so there 's no way he could accost me here tonight . curtis : mm - hmm . hayden : i 'll be perfectly safe in my hotel room . curtis : you know good and well as soon as i turn my back , you 're gon na head over to wyndemere and look for them diamonds . [ scene_break ] sam : is that nikolas ? jason : yeah , i think so . sam : how did he fall ? jason : i have no idea . here . call 911 . sam : [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] hayden : i 'm not going to wyndemere tonight , okay ? curtis : do n't even try to play me , okay ? we both know you are , so i 'm gon na roll with you . hayden : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . you ca n't , okay ? you 'll ruin any chance i have of brokering a deal with nikolas . curtis : well , that seems a lot better than waking up reading a headline about your murder . hayden : do n't be so melodramatic . curtis : do n't sit there and act like your husband 's not capable of murder . hayden : that was before . curtis : why are you giving me a hard time when all i 'm trying to do is protect you ? hayden : are you hoping i 'll toss one of those diamonds your way ? is that what this show of protectiveness is all about ? curtis : i have an aversion to homicide , okay ? just a little residue from my former career in law enforcement . hayden : uh - huh . so it 's nostalgia from when you had a badge ? curtis : look , i ai n't mad at a little bling , but tonight , i 'm your shadow . [ scene_break ] sam : where is he ? jason : i 'm about to find out . sam : oh . jason : his body must have been pulled into the water . sam : be careful . jason : did you get through to 911 ? sam : yes , i did . they said that there 's gon na be some time because of the weather . jason , do n't . if it took him , it could take you , too . jason : it 's okay . i got to try . look , do me a favor . no matter what happens , you do n't come in after me , all right ? sam : okay . jason : okay . [ water splashes , thunder rumbles ] [ scene_break ] tracy : i am edward 's legal guardian . i am not giving him up to anybody , even if there was somebody to give him up to ! dillon : mom . tracy : i was approved by child services . i went through all the proper channels , i signed the documents . i am legally responsible for him . and if anybody tries to take him from me , i have a battalion of lawyers at my disposal . that poor orphaned child is staying right here with me . dillon : mom , that baby is not an orphan . tracy : [ scoffs ] oh , dillon . his father is dead . his mother is god - knows - where . he was left on our doorstep like the morning paper . dillon : michael found sabrina ! tracy : what ? where is she ? dillon : she is alive and well . she 's here in port charles . [ scene_break ] sabrina : i knew what i did was wrong . as soon as i left the country with carlos , i was sorry . michael : hold on . look . once the baby was born , rivera held sabrina captive , okay ? in the end , she was his victim , too . jordan : i am sorry for what you 've gone through , sabrina , but that does n't change the fact that you helped carlos remain at large . i mean , for all we know , you could have given carlos a chance to kill again . so you think about that when you 're sitting in a jail cell waiting for your arraignment and your bail to be set . michael : look , i understand that sabrina has to be held accountable , all right . but do you have to take her into custody tonight ? she 's not a flight risk . her son is here in port charles . she has n't even had a chance to see him . sabrina : it 's been weeks . i just -- i miss him so much and i just want to hold him again . commissioner , please ? andré : excuse me . i 'm sorry . jordan , can i speak to you for a minute ? [ scene_break ] anna : um ... you should n't have heard that . i -- i did n't want to worry you . robin : well , is it true ? anna : the night that duke died , i realized that julian was behind it , you know ? i mean , carlos was the enforcer . he pulled the trigger . so , i tracked carlos to sabrina 's apartment . and she confirmed . he told her he killed duke . so i asked her to call him . he told her that he was down on pier 54 . so i went after him . i intended to take him into custody . robin : why did n't you do that ? anna : because he just came straight out and said that the charges would never stick . he would be released for lack of evidence . and he was right , you know ? robin : [ sighs ] anna : the case was slim against him . and then when i realized that ... the man who was really responsible for killing him , for killing duke , julian , was gon na get away with it , i do n't know . i just -- i snapped . i just snapped . all my training and my principles , they just went out the window . i shot him . i shot him four times . robin : how could he survive that ? anna : yeah . he set me up . yeah , he and this man kyle sloane . carlos was wearing , like , a bulletproof vest . he had blood capsules . robin : what ? anna : yeah . robin : i mean , what were they trying to accomplish ? anna : it does n't matter what their motives were . the end result was that for months , i believed that i had committed a murder . and that the man who was responsible for duke 's death was gon na get away with it , because of my actions . and that 's when i found out then that carlos was still alive . robin : and you and sonny tracked him in ecuador . anna : yeah . we did . we brought him back here . and i confessed , because honestly , i did n't care what happened to me as long as carlos testified against julian . robin : mom . why did n't you tell me any of this was going on ? anna : because i created this mess . i should be able to handle it . robin : okay , um , there is such a thing as being too independent . anna : i know . i was a disaster there for a while . but i 'm getting better now . robin : and the da said the charges against you have been dropped . anna : yeah . robin : thank god . you 've been punishing yourself enough . mom , come here . i think it 's time to start healing . [ scene_break ] sonny : ava and the da ? carly : mm - hmm . sonny : that 's how she escaped the charges in the arms deal . that son of a bitch was nailing her . carly : [ laughs ] gosh . i 'm assuming she kept it as insurance in case she ever wanted to blackmail him . sonny : and you used her own leverage against her . carly : that 's right . sonny : ahh ! carly : oh , speaking of which , i need a new phone . sonny : why ? carly : because ava destroyed mine trying to get her hands on the recording . then i showed her the flash drive . then she jumped me , and i fought back . sonny : ooh ! [ laughs ] must have been a thing of beauty . carly : well , we were in the metro court bathroom in the middle of the nurses ' ball , so i could n't kick her ass the way i wanted to . but i did get a few shots in before i let her think she won . sonny : why -- why 'd you give her the satisfaction ? carly : because i got to watch her face when i told her that i already uploaded the recording to the cloud . sonny : ahhh . carly : wait , wait . sonny : yeah . carly : it 's at my disposal whenever i want it . it is all the leverage we need to keep avery with us for good . what do you think ? sonny : what do i think ? have i ever told you how amazing you are ? carly : i could hear that again . sonny : have i ever told you how amazing you are ? carly : [ giggles ] [ scene_break ] ava : i do n't care if carly puts that video of us on national television . i do n't care if you lose your job . i do n't care about any of it . i am not gon na give into her demands just because you tell me to . paul : what are you talking about ? what does carly want ? ava : she wants to take avery from me . that 's what she wants . carly and sonny think that they can keep my daughter from me . well , they ca n't . i have custody . and sex tape or not , i 'm taking avery home . paul : well , what good is getting your child back if you go to prison for the rest of your life ? as i told you before , ava , you let that tape out , then i 'll give over the proof that you murdered connie . and as soon as i hand over your confession , you 'll be on trial for murder . ava : paul , you do n't want to do that . [ scene_break ] anna : i honestly do n't feel i can move on until i have some kind of justice , you know ? because the man who is really responsible for duke 's death -- julian jerome -- there 's nothing to tie him to the crime . he 's still alive . he 's well , he 's married , in a new house , raising his new son . duke never got to even meet his son . there 's never any punishment for julian , ever . there 's no guilt . i do n't think anything keeps him awake at night , but that 's going to change because somehow , one way or the other , i am going to bring him to trial . if it 's not for duke 's murder , then it will be for carlos ' . robin : mom . none of that will bring duke back . anna : i know that . but maybe if i have some closure , i can find some peace . robin : you know ... anna : [ sighs ] robin : you know that peace does not come from revenge . anna : yeah . robin : it comes from living the best life that you can live , a life that duke would have wanted for you . [ scene_break ] andré : i 'm sorry . i can see you 're involved in something serious . should i wait ? jordan : if you do n't mind . andré : no , i do n't mind at all . my job never really stops , either , and i 'd really love to end my night with you . jordan : i feel the same way . michael : look , if i have to , i 'll have a lawyer meet us at the pcpd , and i 'll try to make arrangements to get you released tonight . maybe the commissioner will let you go tonight , but think you can turn yourself in in the morning ? jordan : sabrina . i understand that you made arrangements for your child to be sent to the states , to the quartermaines ' . yes , i did . i did so that he 'd be safe . michael : my father and i found sabrina where carlos had imprisoned her . look , we brought her back tonight . and like i said , she has n't even seen her son . tracy and the baby were out when i got to the quartermaines ' , so i - i - i decided to come to the nurses ' ball because -- well , because i believe in everything that it represents . jordan : that 's an interesting choice for a known fugitive . i was planning on coming down to the police station tomorrow to talk to you . i knew that as soon as i got back to port charles , i was gon na be arrested . i was just hoping for one night , just one night with my baby . [ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina 's in port charles ? dillon : she showed up at the nurses ' ball at the very end , and i am sure that she 's very eager to see her son . tracy : really ? let 's see -- how eager could she really be if she went to a party instead of coming straight here ? dillon : well , you must have missed this . it 's a note from sabrina . i found it in the foyer . it says that she was waiting for you and the baby , and she 'll be back later . [ scene_break ] [ water splashes ] jason : i ca n't find him . [ coughs ] it 's too dark and the current 's too strong . [ groans ] sam : maybe the coast guard -- they 're on the way . hopefully emergency workers can find him . jason : i 'm sorry . sam : [ sighs ] come on . let 's get back to the house . [ scene_break ] hayden : nikolas ! niko -- curtis : oh , damn . looks like one hell of a fight . hayden : oh , my god . nikolas ! curtis : see anything ? hayden : no . nothing . jason : another look at this window . sam : i know . hayden , what are you doing here ? hayden : what are you -- where 's nikolas ? sam : i do n't know . something happened up here . and , um , we heard a noise when we got in the house . we came up here . nikolas was gone . i think he ended up on the rocks . but by the time we got down there , the current took him into the harbor . jason : i tried to find him , but it was too dark . sam : i called 911 . rescue 's on their way . curtis : nobody could survive that fall . onto the rocks and into the water ? it 's not possible . hayden : are you sure it was nikolas on the rocks ? sam : i do n't know . i do n't know . it was dark . i think so . [ sighs ] i found this . hayden : oh , my god . sam : let 's go see if 911 is here or the rescue team . hayden : oh , my god . [ exhales sharply ] [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] curtis : are those tears real ? hayden : he was my husband . curtis : hmm . hayden : [ sighs ] curtis : the only reason you two were still married is because you 're blackmailing each other . hayden : i loved nikolas , okay ? i certainly did n't want him dead . curtis : we really do n't even know what went down here , okay ? i mean , nikolas has done a pretty good job of taking care of himself . hayden : i hope you 're right . sam said they called 911 . i have to find my diamonds before the police get here . [ scene_break ] carly : so , ava claims that she did n't care about me going public with the video . so , then , i let hornsby know that i had it . sonny : uh - huh . carly : she changed her tune in a heartbeat . i do n't know what he said to her , but she was pissed . he must have threatened her with something good . sonny : well , ava 's got a lot to be nervous about , starting with the fact that she killed connie . no wonder she wanted to stay on the da 's good side . carly : you know what ? all that matters is avery never has to go home with that woman . sonny : uh - huh . because of you . carly : [ giggles ] sonny : but you know what ? carly : hmm ? sonny : [ groans ] at the custody hearing , i let her goad me into losing my child . carly : yeah , but listen . you thought you were never gon na walk again . she used that against you . sonny : but ava played me . that ai n't gon na happen again . carly : yeah , but she has nothing to use against you again . it 's over . and she 's not gon na take you back to family court because paul hornsby wo n't let her . sonny : thanks to you . carly : that 's right . sonny : [ laughs ] carly : i 'm so happy , sonny . i 'm just so happy . i 'm happy for you . i 'm so happy for avery . it made me sick to think about that woman using her and telling her lies about you . now avery is always going to be safe and happy with us . sonny : with the best mother anybody could have . [ scene_break ] ava : what would the press and everybody else think if they found out that you were sitting on that missing evidence against me all this time ? paul : oh , i 'll just say that i only recently located your confession . ava : oh . still . there would be an investigation . and something tells me , paul , you have a few more secrets that you would n't want to be discovered -- secrets that might cause a scandal a lot worse than two consenting adults in bed together . i think your best option is to ride out our little sex scandal and let me get my daughter back . [ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina wo n't be coming back here tonight . dillon : what do you mean ? tracy : sabrina left with carlos when he was a wanted man . the police commissioner has stated publicly that she will have to answer for her crimes . i 'm assuming that the commissioner , as well as your father , were both at the nurses ' ball . dillon : yes , they were both there . tracy : well , it 's a pretty safe bet that she 's already in custody . dillon : why are you doing this ? i thought you and sabrina were friends . tracy : i thought so , too . was the ball still going on when you left ? dillon : no , it was just about over . tracy : well ... sabrina was probably apprehended on the way out . [ scene_break ] sabrina : please . i just want to see my son . jordan : i have no guarantee that you 're not gon na take your baby and leave town again . you are a flight risk . i ca n't allow it . michael : i 'll take responsibility for sabrina . look , my brother 's one of your most trusted detectives . i have strong ties to the community . look , i guarantee you i will bring sabrina to the station first thing in the morning , or you can arrest me . jordan : no , i 'm sorry . i - i ca n't take that chance . michael : you know , tj told me a little bit about his childhood -- that you were forced to stay away from him for a long time . now , as a mother , you can put yourself in sabrina 's shoes . ca n't you ? [ scene_break ] anna : live the life duke would have wanted for me . gosh . when did you get to be so wise ? robin : i 'm my mother 's daughter . you 've never let me wallow in the past or become bitter or vengeful and drown out my ability to be optimistic about the future ... and hopeful . [ chuckles ] that 's because of you , because of your ability to bounce back and to keep going . that 's why i am the person i am today , after everything that 's happened to me . you 're the same person , too , mom . anna : i - i do n't know that i am . i do n't know . robin : but you will . you will know . you will be able to get past the anger and the hurt and the need to be vengeful . just say goodbye to all of that . say goodbye to duke . anna : i imagined that he was with me the other day , when carlos locked me in that cold storage , and , um , i just saw him . he was with me -- duke . it was really magical . it was so nice to talk to him , to hold his hand , to see his smile . it was -- but then he vanished , you know , before i could say goodbye . robin : i suspect it 's because you were n't ready to yet . anna : perhaps not . [ cell phone rings ] robin : i 'm sorry . it 's patrick . anna : oh , yes . robin : i told him i was gon na call to say good night . anna : okay . take it . robin : okay . anna : say hello . robin : hi , can you hold on one sec ? okay . thanks . um , you gon na be okay in here ? anna : no , yeah . of course . yeah , no , i 'll just wait for you . off you go . robin : okay . i 'll be right back . just one minute . hi , hi . no , i was just talking to my mom . i ca n't wait for you to see emma 's video . she was so good !

[ scene_break ] paul : if you take that baby from sonny and carly lets loose with that tape , i will come after you with everything i 've got . ava : and i 'll take you down with me . paul : oh , no . i 'll - i 'll - i 'll deal with the consequences if there are any . and i 'll come out on top , because i have an impeccable record beating the odds . ava : you 're crossing a line , paul , trying to come between me and my daughter . paul : you did this , ava . you murdered connie , you admitted it , and you gave me the leverage i need to keep you in line . now , if you let that recording of us having sex go public , you will go down so fast you wished you stayed dead . [ scene_break ] jason : you still have my phone ? sam : yeah , why ? who do you want to call ? jason : look , when the cops get here , they 're gon na want to know why nikolas fell out of that window . sam : what , do you think the cops are gon na blame you ? jason : you do n't ? i 'm gon na call diane , tell her to get ready to get to work . sam : no , wait a minute . if you do that , if you call your lawyer before the police get here , you 're gon na make yourself look guilty . jason : yeah , the cops are gon na think i 'm guilty anyway . they always do .

[ spinelli sighs ] sam : okay , listen , i 'm not sure you really want to hear this , but i do n't know if maxie thinks of you in those terms -- sexually . spinelli : maximista knows that i am so lacking in the testosterone area that given the opportunity to lie next to my beloved , i choose sleep over passion . god , tell me i did n't drool . sam : listen , listen , from what i hear , you took a pretty nasty hit on your head . spinelli : more proof of my inadequacy . after hours of stone cold training , i still am incapable of defending myself . sam : against sonny ? come on , that 's called survival . spinelli : hours in cyberspace , traveling the world wide web , detailed interviews with babe magnets like stone cold and dr. patrick drake , and i am more confused and lost than ever . i am totally unqualified mentally , physically , and socially to win maximista 's heart . sam : okay , listen .

[ scene_break ] sonny : is morgan here ? carly : uh , no , he 's at the park with mercedes . i can call her and have her bring him here so you can say -- sonny : no , no , no . you know what ? it 's probably better because it 's too soon after what happened to michael and -- a little boy who does n't understand , you know . when are you going to see michael ? carly : in a few days . sonny : can you tell him his dad loves him ? carly : i will . sonny : as far as morgan -- can you just not tell him , like , that his dad is gone ? can you just -- maybe just tell him that -- that i went away on business . and then in the next couple of days or something , if you want to tell him , explain to him whatever you need to explain -- carly : he knows how much you love him . sonny : i hate having to walk away from my sons . carly : okay , but you 're saving his life . sonny : i do n't want him to lie awake at night wondering what he did wrong to make me go . carly : well , i 'm going to make sure morgan knows that you love him more than your own life because this proves it . sonny : i 'm sorry it had to come to this . carly : so am i .

dante : i do n't know , maybe i 'm not objective because we grew up in the same neighborhood , but i think the metro court would be lucky to have her . she 's a great singer . i heard her at jake 's . she 's amazing . brook lynn : dante , it was a karaoke machine at a roadhouse . lulu : when you lived here before , you had issues about singing for money . brook lynn : oh , yeah , i got over that . but i ca n't just walk into the metro court and start singing , you know ? dante : why do n't you just , uh , ask her ? suggest it to carly .

[ nikolas chuckles ] kristina : and then i started thinking about michael , what he was doing , having for breakfast . it 's so unfair for him to be locked up in that awful place . nikolas : i know . i 'm sorry i ca n't help you with michael right now , but i have made some progress with the bauers . warren has n't dropped the wrongful death suit yet , but i imagine he will soon . kristina : why ? nikolas : i made him aware of various options . we 'll just leave it at that . kristina : that sounds like a threat . nikolas : i told you , kristina , i wo n't allow anyone to drag you through that kiefer nightmare anymore . kristina : kiefer was a nightmare mostly , but i miss him sometimes . that probably sounds ridiculous . nikolas : no . no . i think we all feel things we should n't sometimes . just ask me and elizabeth . kristina : how 's she doing ? nikolas : she works too much , and i 'm worried about her . i invited her and the boys to come live here , at least until the baby 's born , but she wo n't even consider it . [ scene_break ] lucky : i 'm not arguing with you . it 's just that i 've seen sonny operate for a long time , and he knows you 're vulnerable because michael ended up in pentonville and that makes you look bad . claire : it makes everyone look bad . lucky : sonny 's offering you a shot at redemption . you 'll supposedly be helping michael and conveniently neutralize his competition . claire : well , i want to stop a mob war before it starts . lucky : yeah , well , that 's what we all want . but how ? i mean , that 's the million - dollar question , is n't it ? okay , assuming that you ca n't get both of them , who would you rather bust , sonny or johnny ? claire : who says we ca n't get both ? sonny has to be well aware that i 'd be able to double - cross him . lucky : yeah , and then he said he had no choice but to trust you and looked you straight in the eye . right ? claire : he is very compelling , yes . if i were a juror , i might be swayed . but i know his act . i 'm not impressed by him . lucky : i 've only known two women who can hold their own against sonny , okay ? one is my cousin carly , and it cost her 4 - -count ' em -- 4 marriages to the guy , along with years of pain and at least one major nervous breakdown . and the only other woman who seems completely immune to sonny is diane miller . claire : diane miller , whom i have a lot of respect for , and she has to know deep down , the way i do , what a dangerous criminal he is . lucky : look , the thing that you have to understand about sonny is that he 's not 100 % bad . he can be generous and kind . he does a lot of great things in this community with no fanfare at all . he genuinely loves his children , and he tries his best to be a good father . and he really did have a childhood that would break anyone 's heart . that 's how he draws women in . they think they can save him . claire : i do n't want to save sonny corinthos . i want to put him away 20 to life . lucky : all right , well , just -- just know that you 'll be wading through emotional quicksand . and it 's taken down many women before you . claire : you know , perhaps none of these women saw what i saw during the trial . a brutal killer who got his son mixed up in a cover - up . someone who believed that he could game the system . who had no intention of going to jail . i mean , i really believe that he thinks that a jet would have been waiting for him to fly off to south america even if he was found guilty . not to mention the impossible position he put michael in . or dante , who he shot pointblank in the chest . sonny is a brutal , narcissistic thug who needs to be shut down . he really does . and if he really believes that he 's playing me , let him . it 's gon na make my job a lot easier .

's prime target . dante : they do n't want the head of the jerome crime family ? anna : he 's not the head . there 's someone above him calling the shots . dante : who ? anna : we do n't know . so , with jordan going back in , we 're gon na find out , and then we 're gon na put that person away . come on . dante : [ sighs ] tracy : lulu , i know that your father marches to the beat of his own drummer . he can vanish anytime for any reason , but he 's open about it . he believes that what you see is what you get . this is different . i 'm worried about him . what if he 's in trouble ? lulu : he 's not . tracy : how can you be so sure ? last night , we had dinner plans , and he was a complete no - show . lulu : tracy , you 're worried about nothing . it 's not what you think . tracy : oh , if you know something , you better tell me . lulu : [ sighs ] do n't tell dad i told you . tracy : out with it ! lulu : dad is planning your honeymoon . tracy : honeymoon ? lulu : that 's why he 's been sneaking around so much . he was afraid that you would discover his plan . he wants it to be a surprise . i did n't want to tell him you might be a tough sell . tracy : really ? why would i be a tough sell ? lulu : i do n't know . you like to stay close to home in case something happens with elq . tracy : [ scoffs ] yeah , well , since i 'm no longer in charge at elq , that 's not a problem . lulu : then this is good news . tracy : are you absolutely sure ? the only reason your dad is sneaking around is because of this honeymoon thing ? lulu : 99.5 % . tracy : yeah , but not 100 % . lulu : because this is my dad we 're talking about . i even ran into him at the park . he was meeting with a travel agent . you have nothing to worry about . luke : you know what ? you do n't deserve this . you are a beautiful , vital , intelligent , beautiful woman . olivia : thank you , luke . thank you . luke : you 're welcome . [ sighs ] you know what ? sonny 's done you a favor . he may be a friend of mine , but i got to tell you ... you can do a lot better . ava : i shot olivia ? is that some kind of euphemism ? sonny : think carefully , ava . is denial the way you want to go ? [ liquid pouring ] ava : all right . i wo n't do you the disrespect of pretending it is n't true . sonny : a little late to start respecting me now . ava : i assume you got this information from shawn ? sonny : yeah , julian told him the day that shawn picked you up to bring you here . ava : what my brother failed to mention is that it was an accident . you were there . sonny : yeah . ava : you know . sonny : right . ava : olivia just [ sighs ] came running in . she got in the way . sonny : so , she was n't the target ? is that what you 're saying ? ava : god , no ! sonny : okay . ava : franco was the target . i was scared to death of him . i needed to dispose of him for kiki 's sake . you , more than anyone , must understand that protecting our children is our top priority , especially from psychopaths like that . i still shudder when i think of what he did to michael . my god , sonny . you must hate franco just as much , if not more , than i did . franco : i guess ava 's fate is out of our hands . carly : yes , that 's a good thing . franco : that 's a good thing ? is that what you just said ? it 's a good thing ? carly : i know that you do n't want kiki to mourn . i understand that . franco : carly , i 'm thinking about kiki , but i 'm also thinking about you . carly : me ? you 're thinking about me ? why ? franco : i know firsthand what it 's like to take a life . and you keep saying that sonny 's gon na kill ava . and if that happens , then you 're gon na feel responsible , and i - i do n't want -- i do n't want you to have to go through that . carly : you 're worried about me ? franco : yeah , i 'm worried about you , carly . carly : well , i do n't want you to think that i 'm taking this lightly . franco : i do n't know what to think . carly : i did the right thing . i 'm not gon na lose any sleep over this . ava deserves what she 's got coming . ava : tell me i 'm wrong -- that i was n't justified in going after franco . you ca n't , because just like me , you wanted him gone the minute he reared his ugly head . sonny : well , you got me there . but usually , when i call for an execution , somebody winds up executed . ava : i made a mistake . sonny : you think ? ava : i was horrified when i hurt olivia . and i did n't even know you then -- not like i do now . we 're friends . i would never do anything to hurt you intentionally . please tell me you believe that . sonny : not another word out of your lying , dirty mouth . alexis : we knew there was a risk if you decided to leave the organization , but that is no reason to turn back now . julian : i have no choice . alexis : yes , you do . you -- you made your choice when you decided to change your life for your family . julian : and look what happened , alexis . i - i have to reverse course . it 's the only way that i can protect everyone . alexis : who 's gon na protect you ? julian : [ sighs ] i can protect myself . alexis : yeah , that worked out really well when you ended up in jail with drug- trafficking charges . julian : yeah , well , it 's better i get hurt than the people i love . alexis : how about it 's better that nobody gets hurt , which is why i want you to come with me to the station . we 're gon na talk to anna . just give her what she wants . a - and -- and she 'll protect you , me , everybody . julian : the woman loathes me . she 's spent her entire life working to bring me down . alexis : this is different . julian : really ? as soon as anna gets what she wants , she 'll throw me and my family to the wolves . i 'm not gon na risk it . i wo n't . alexis : so , that 's that ? this is the end of the conversation ? julian : [ sighs ] alexis : what about us ? julian : i mean , is that the end of us if i - i do n't do what you want ? alexis : i honestly do n't know the answer to that . julian : well , i do n't want that . alexis : i do n't want that . but i ca n't tell you that i can do that when i do n't know if i can -- not if you go down that road ... julian : [ sighs ] alexis : ... because you 'll be walking in blood the entire time , regardless of -- of whatever your boss promises you . you need to -- you need to know that ... and that i love you . luke : you know , there 's really only one thing to do . olivia : hmm ? luke : talk it out . why do n't we go somewhere quiet ? you can undress your feelings . olivia : you know , luke , i do n't think i ever knew you had this sensitive side . luke : well , when it comes to family , no holds barred . olivia : thank you . but you know what ? i 'm gon na be okay . luke : you sure ? olivia : yeah . and you should get home to your new bride . you know , i got to tell you -- it shows some real flair , the way you exchanged those vows right in the middle of the nurses ' ball like that . and i wish you and tracy all the happiness in the world . luke : yeah , thanks . you 're probably right . she 's probably missing me about now . olivia : well , go . go . luke : one last piece of advice . olivia : mm - hmm . luke : do n't trust ric lansing . i mean , your relationship with sonny may be evolving , but that does n't mean his brother is not a threat . i walk along the frozen ground i walk alone with my head down keep on , keep on do n't stop dreaming keep on , keep on she 's not leaving [ violin plays ] elizabeth : this feels familiar . ric : mm , like riding a bike , is n't it ? elizabeth : it 's better . ric : you know , like , dancing was something we were born to do . we were born to do other things , too , elizabeth . olivia : honey , i hope you do n't mind . i 'm taking the night off . carly : no , whoa -- i do n't mind at all . are you okay ? olivia : uh , so - so . i guess i could n't be any worse off than morgan , right ? i 'll see you tomorrow . carly : wait a second . what 's wrong with morgan ? olivia : well , i would imagine he 's pretty busted up after the way he lost ava . carly : ava and morgan broke up ? olivia : you did n't know ? carly : no . no . i mean , i - i had no idea . franco and i were out of town . we were on a trip , and , well , it 's definitely good news . i 'm just glad morgan came to his senses . olivia : well , you can mail that thank - you note to sonny . carly : sonny ? what does sonny have to do with this ? ava : sonny , i 'm telling you the truth . sonny : you 're telling me the truth , but you conveniently left a - a big part of that out ... like you told shawn to shut his mouth or you were gon na go to the cops and turn me in for aj 's shooting . ava : i - i said that in the heat of the moment . i did n't mean that . sonny : oh , i see . ava : my brother wanted my head . i need to get out of town , and i knew that if shawn outed me , i would never get your protection . sonny : you think you got a silver tongue , do n't you ? you 've been doing this for so long that you are untouchable . but i will hurt you . ava : no , you wo n't . sonny : mm . come on . ava : because i am your ally . i helped you cover up what you did to aj , did n't i ? have n't i kept your secret ? sonny : oh , yeah , you keep a lot of secrets . you 're really good at that , and you 're really good at a lot of things ... like helping me to cover my tracks , convincing me not to confess to michael . ava : because i do n't want to see you go down . i did that for you . sonny : stop lying ! well , you know why you did it . shawn : you have it all figured out , huh ?

[ scene_break ] nikolas : pcpd . i did n't realize you had law - enforcement experience . should i be watching my step ? valerie : [ chuckles ] it 's just an assistant position . nikolas : assistant to who ? valerie : uh , the detectives . nikolas : meaning dante ? valerie : yeah . he said he 'd put in a good word for me . i think that 's why i got the interview so quickly . or maybe they 're just desperate to fill the position . lulu : where 's valerie ? nikolas : she ... went out . said something about needing to see dante . lulu : of course , she did . nikolas : well , i hope it works out . [ scene_break ] dante : we 're trying to match denise demuccio 's dna to ava jerome 's . she 's on file at the hospital because was screened as a possible marrow - donor match to danny . lulu : so , ava 's one moment of compassion could land her in prison for the rest of her life ? dante : yeah . what ? you say that like it 's a bad thing . lulu : no , no , i 'm just admiring the irony . dante : hmm . got nathan keeping on top of the gh lab to make sure your future cousin - in - law , brad cooper , does n't try any funny stuff . lulu : if you told me a year ago i was gon na say this , i would have thought you were crazy . [ inhales deeply ] brad 's changed . dante : come on . you think so ? lulu : otherwise , lucas would n't be marrying him . dante : yeah , well , i 've made peace with brad joining your side of the family . lulu : mm . sounds like you have . dante : i do n't trust him any more than i trust ava jerome . lulu : you really think it 's her ? dante : oh , she 's a dead ringer . lulu : oh , i ca n't wait to see her . dante : she 's down in lockup right now , with sonny . he 's , uh , trying to get some answers out of her . [ scene_break ] denise : something tells me you 're not here to deliver the most important meal of my day and a cup of joe . sonny : nope . denise : well , i know i do n't have my face on yet , but you do n't got to look at me like i 'm something stuck to the bottom of your shoe . sonny : is that what i 'm doing ? denise : you know something ? i recognize you . i do , from the papers . sonny : hmm . denise : you are the godfather of port charles , are n't you ? sonny corinthos . sonny : what do the papers tell you ? denise : they tell me you 're a real powerful guy ... and heaven help whoever gets in your way . sonny : you 're right about that . [ scene_break ] brad : how can this denise demuccio possibly be kiki 's mother in disguise ? i mean , she 'd have to be wonder woman to survive a bullet and a really long drop into icy water . lucas : sh -- well , she managed to somehow , i guess . i mean , it 's just too bizarre that -- that -- that some outer - borough hairdresser -- oh , excuse me , `` stylist , `` according to her -- found her look - alike in the paper and then made her way into my dad 's place . brad : unless it 's so bizarre that it 's actually true , and this denise demuccio is a real person . lucas : well , for kiki 's sake , i hope it 's her mother . [ scene_break ] kiki : i was dreaming about my mom 's last birthday . it was more of a memory , really , but ... she was still pregnant with avery , and i was -- i was pretty mad at her . morgan : i mean , um , a birthday 's a birthday . kiki : alice was in the hospital , so that 's where you and i were spending most of our time . and , uh , on my way out , i grabbed a couple cupcakes for her . she was so happy to see me . it broke my heart . [ sighs ] and i know ... things were pretty bad there between us for a while , but ... that night , she told me that she wanted things to go back to the way they were between us . then she made a wish and blew out her candles . morgan : what 'd she wish for ? kiki : i do n't know . she did n't say . she knew your dad planned to kill her , so maybe she wished to stay alive . and then , if denise really is my mom ... morgan : then maybe her wish came true . [ scene_break ] denise : so , why 'd a big shot like you come and wade in this dank , little corner to visit a nobody like denise demuccio ? sonny : take a wild guess . denise : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . i read about this , too . it 's because you hate ava jerome -- god rest her soul -- and i happen to look just like her . sonny : you do n't look like ava . you are ava . denise : [ sighs ] i hate to disappoint people . sonny : shut up ! i should have killed you when i had the chance .

[ scene_break ] sloane : anna , it 's me . anna : kyle ? what are you doing here ? sloane : checking on you . you know , when you answered the door , you looked at me like i was the devil . you slammed the door in my face . anna : how did you get in here ? sloane : i know how to jimmy a lock . when i came in , you had your back against the wall . you were screaming at me to leave you alone . anna : i was n't screaming at you , kyle . i was screaming at carlos . [ scene_break ] lulu : you let sonny visit ava , the woman he 's been threatening to kill ever since he found out that she murdered connie ? dante : yeah . i mean , he 's not gon na do it here . lulu : yeah , that 's true . sonny is a master at avoiding self - incrimination . dante : that 's why i let him down there . i mean , he 's gon na find his way to her anyway , with or without me . this way , it 's on record . it 's official . lulu : i guess . dante : i told the guard to keep an eye on them . worst he 's gon na do is rattle her cage a little bit . lulu : or a lot . dante : that 's good . maybe he will actually scare up some answers . [ scene_break ] denise : listen , pal . i do n't blame you for hating that ava chick . i boned up on as much of her life as i could , including how it ended , and i know you were there when it all went down . sonny : so were you . denise : the news says she got shot -- ended up dangling off a footbridge or something . and you swore to her brother that you tried to help her up . sonny : give me your other hand . ava : no , i -- what if i fall ? sonny : you wo n't . give me your other hand . ava : [ sobbing ] i 'm scared . sonny : you know that i did . denise : you see , that does n't make any sense to me . why would you try to save her after what she did to you ?

[ sighs ] how can i put this ? gay . lucas : okay . ours does n't have to be like that . although i have to admit , that sounds pretty spectacular . brad : we are not white - dove people . lucas : [ chuckling ] okay . our wedding can be whatever we want it to be . brad : such as ? lucas : mmm ... oh , butterflies instead of doves . i 'm kidding . brad : [ sighing ] oh , thank god . lucas : relax . but i do want a real wedding . brad : [ sighs ] okay , wait , y - you said something about your family helping you to realize ... lucas : oh , yeah , my mom . y - you know her . she 's already pushing for black tie . everybody else is already asking me about what date to save . they really want to be there to hear us exchange our vows . they want to support us . and i really want them there , too . brad : lucas ... your family is n't the problem , okay ? it 's mine .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : if it was n't for sloane , i would n't be able to hand you a second term as mayor . lomax : and i appreciate that , as i 'm sure you appreciate the influence your help has secured for you , both in my office and with the police . nikolas : i do ... for now . lomax : unfortunately , kyle sloane has become a liability . this headline says it all . the lavery investigation was rife with shoddy police work . he jumped to conclusions and named jake doe as his number - one suspect . nikolas : jake doe was standing over a pool of the victim 's blood , with the murder weapon in his hand . now , albeit , he did n't do it . i mean , it was safe for sloane to make that assumption . lomax : safe or not , sloane focused on the wrong man , and a mob war has escalated in the process , resulting in an innocent bystander being shot and almost killed . nikolas : i do n't think you can blame sloane for hayden 's unfortunate shooting . lomax : i can , and i do . nikolas : [ chuckles ] lomax : sloane did n't even uncover the real killer until yesterday . he might as well have bought rivera a first - class plane ticket out of the country . nikolas : what is this really about ? lomax : i 'm polling at my lowest since the news came out that sonny corinthos was aj quartermaine 's killer . the public perception is that sloane is incompetent . associating with him does n't benefit either of us . nikolas : well , considering that sloane has dirt on both of us ... what do we do ? [ scene_break ] anna : carlos is haunting me . sloane : you mean you think he 's a ghost ? anna : he may as well be . sloane : you got to take better care of yourself . when was the last time you ate ? anna : oh , god , i do n't know . sloane : slept ? anna : yeah . sleeping 's not very helpful . sloane : you should try it . anna : yeah , how can i go to sleep ? carlos is there . and when i wake up , he 's here . and he was -- he was taunting about -- about duke 's ashes . sloane : you know why this happening , do n't you ? anna : yeah . sloane : 'cause you killed rivera . but so what ? the guy was a murdering , little scum . anna : no . in your words , he was just the trigger man . julian ordered the hit . not that we would ever be able to prove that . sloane : we 'll find another way to bring julian down . anna : you know , what is so ironic is that duke only got involved with -- with sonny to get julian . you know , sonny 's motives were business , and duke 's were entirely personal . sloane : in what way ? anna : oh , god , a long list . at the top of it is the fact that ... i was pregnant with duke 's child , and i lost it because of julian . it 's a long time ago , but neither one of us was ever able to forget . sloane : of course not . anna : carlos -- he might have flipped on julian . and that would have been a small measure of justice . but i lost my head . i just got carried away with hatred and grief and pure insanity . and julian is out there , walking free . he may fall someday , but he will never pay for what he did to duke . sloane : one thing at a time . right now , we got to focus on making sure nobody ever finds out what you did to rivera . anna : sabrina was here . sloane : what 'd you tell her ? anna : i stuck to our story -- that carlos escaped , that carlos ... was ... just staring at me . he was taunting me . you know , i ... i have killed before . but this was murder . clearly , i am not cut out for it . i 'm not sure how much longer i can keep going . sloane : oh , you 'll go on . i 'll make sure of it . [ scene_break ] kiki : ugh . when i was little , i thought my mom was invincible . but , i mean , how could she have survived all of that stuff that happened to her when she escaped from prison ? morgan : well , there 's two things that ava 's proven . she 's a survivor . and for better or for worse , and she capable of anything . kiki : [ chuckling ] yeah ? then why , of all of the things she could have come up with , this wack personality ? morgan : well , because that 's the last thing that anyone would expect her to do . kiki : disguise herself as a beautician from the far side of the east river ? yeah . morgan : well , i mean , you -- she must have known people like that when you guys lived in manhattan . kiki : not really . i mean , she mostly knew people from the art world . and all those women are either filthy rich or village poor . i mean , i do n't even think she would have crossed paths with a woman like that . morgan : that you know of . kiki : yeah , well , like you said , anything 's possible . morgan : i guess she thought that denise demuccio was her ticket back into port charles without getting thrown in jail . i do n't know . kiki : and so much for being invincible , because that 's exactly where she is right now . [ scene_break ] denise : everybody else is counting on that dna test -- the cops , ava 's poor daughter . but you ? you got some superpower that allows you to take one look and tell me who i am ? sonny : i do n't need superpowers . denise : well , if you 're counting on the fingerprints , go fish . i do n't got any . it 's an occupational hazard of devoting my life to beautifying coifs . sonny : i 'm not talking about fingerprints . denise : then what ? sonny : i was there after you got shot , ava ! i was the only one who saw you take that bullet . you were bleeding from the chest . denise : i 've been a lot of things . `` shot `` ai n't one of them . sonny : right , right . well , you know what ? you can -- you can dye your hair . you can have a phony accent . but you ca n't change the scar that you got from the bullet . so , you say that you 're not ava . prove it ! show me you do n't have that scar . denise : you want me to show you my boob ? what have you got to hide ? okay , this has suddenly become even more disturbing than the homicidal stare . you want a free peek , you go to a strip club . do n't you mobsters usually own those , anyway ? sonny : so you 're not gon na show me ? denise : i -- i do n't unbutton my top for strangers . sonny : i knew it . you 're ava . come on . you 're going back to pentonville for the rest of your life . denise : all right , whatever it will take to get you to shut up . where on my chest ? sonny : you know where . denise : i would know if i were ava , but i ai n't , so tell me which boob you want to look at , 'cause you 're not getting a gander at both . sonny : the right one . denise : okay , you know what ? i 'm -- i 'm actually not comfortable with this . i think i 'm just gon na wait for the dna , then . sonny : okay , ava . then i 'm just gon na have to wait with you . denise : [ sniffs ] okay . all right , mister holier - than - thou gangster with the creepy - ass stare . fine , i 'll let you take a look .

[ scene_break ] brad : i would love to share our day with your family , but ... you do n't know mine . lucas : you 're right . i do n't . all i know about them is what you shared with me the night we met . you told me that they did n't want you to know that your biological parents were mobsters and that they were hurt when you wanted to look into your background . brad : yeah . they were . lucas : [ scoffs ] all that tells me is that they 're protective of you , m - maybe a little possessive . so what ? why do n't you ever talk about them ? do they know about me ? have -- have you even told them that we 're getting married ? [ scene_break ] lulu : you applied for a job here ? valerie : yeah , there 's an administrative assistant slot open . i filled out the paperwork yesterday . dante did n't tell you ? dante : i just have been busy . i ... had , uh , the -- the rivera search and the dna test for the ... ava look - alike . it just slipped my mind . valerie : are you okay with me working here ? lulu : why would n't i be ? i ... used to work here . i was an evidence - room clerk . valerie : no kidding . lulu : yeah . i loved it . i got to spend plenty of time with ... with dante .

[ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] sloane : i meant to see you yesterday . i take it you have n't seen the news . anna : what gave it away ... the screaming or the hallucinations ? thank you . sloane : no , jake doe came to see me . he refused to work for julian anymore -- said he 's rather go to prison than watch anybody else take the bullet that was meant for him . and suddenly , i started reflecting on what you said to me . it started to sink in . anna : so , what did you do ? sloane : i made a public announcement clearing jake of duke 's murder , charged carlos with it . anna : good . sloane : the assumption is that carlos fled the country . they 're searching for him in puerto rico . anna : well , they 'll never find him , will they ? sloane : which is what we want . carlos goes down in the books as a fugitive , and you never see the inside of a jail cell . [ scene_break ] denise : okay . you can take a good , long look , don corinthos . sonny : [ chuckles ] getting a tat to cover up your scar . that 's good thinking . denise : no , i got it to cover up something a lot worse than a bullet wound . sonny : yeah ? denise : my ex 's name . look , if you look real close , you can see the letters that were there . b - o ... b - o . sonny : bobo ? denise : should have been a red flag right away , right ? should have known how crazy his mother was to name him that , and how damaged he was not to change it . sonny : well , i ca n't argue with that logic . denise : yeah , well , bobo turned out to be a no - no , so i made him go away . but he left me with a little scar tissue , which is , you know , sort of symbolical . do you want to feel it ? sonny : okay , you know what ? let 's stop playing these games . you got scar tissue , but it is n't from your ex . it 's from the bullet wound . denise : right . a bullet wound . right . whatever . sonny : okay , nice try . i 'm gon na give you credit for that . but we still have the dna test .

[ scene_break ] anna : i honestly do n't think i will ever be able to thank you for w - what you 've done for me . sloane : i could n't have you twisting in the wind . anna : well , you could have . you could . uh , even with all your valiant efforts to save me , there 's still the risk of discovery . sloane : do you have any reason to believe sabrina did n't buy your story ? anna : no , i -- no . i think she accepted it , yeah . sloane : [ sighs ] anna : however , there 's elizabeth . and what if she suddenly decides to start asking questions about the night she saw us on the pier , washing away carlos ' blood ? sloane : do n't worry about that . i 'll handle that . in fact , i 'll handle all the outside - world stuff . anna : how ? sloane : you really want to know ? anna : yes , i do want to know , because i think that when you 're in a minefield , it is a good idea to know where all the mines are . sloane : i misdirected the search for rivera ... so it 'll never come near you -- or even port charles , for that matter . and you and i made certain that rivera 's body will never be found . this thing is over . anna : i wish i could believe that . [ scene_break ] lomax : detective falconeri , have you heard from your fearless leader ? dante : i 'm sorry , mayor . i have not . lomax : if you do , tell him to call me ... immediately . lulu : what was that about ? dante : oh , who knows ? she 's on the warpath about something . valerie : she 's really intense . dante : yeah . do n't make the mistake of getting in between her and political advancement . she 's burned through two amazing commissioners -- mac scorpio and anna devane , both honest , good - working people . when lomax was down in the polls , they were shown the door . lulu : all right . we 're gon na get going , okay ? dante : [ quietly ] you 're , uh ... you are okay with her working here , right ? lulu : yeah . it 's not a problem , babe . all right .

[ scene_break ] denise : you got eyes like black ice . you know that ? they do n't reflect no light . very disconcerting , and intimidating , which is probably why you 're used to getting your own way . but you know something ? you 're not getting it with me . i ai n't the person you want to kill . now tell me something . who let you down here to threaten me , huh ? sonny : i do n't make threats , ava . i solve problems .

architect : the plans are one thing , but i 'm going to need more time . we have to find a contractor , secure the proper permits . sonny : oh , we do n't have to worry about permits because i got associates who , you know , are in the construction business -- architect : right . sonny : you know what i mean ?

robin : sorry about the pills , but i have to stay on schedule . patrick : if this is your not - so - subtle way of reminding me that you 're h.i.v.-positive , it 's not something i 'm going to forget . robin : my meds are a fact of life . i do n't schedule taking them around you . patrick : well , obviously you keep everything flexible where i 'm concerned . is it my imagination or did you not tell me to be at your apartment at 10 : 00 ?

robin : ca n't wait . lucas : you mind if i make an observation ? georgie : go for it . lucas : well , you seem to be going to a lot of trouble for dillon 's birthday party considering you 're going through the process of annulling your marriage . georgie : just because dillon and i are getting an annulment does n't mean we do n't love each other . it 's just -- it just means we 're a little too young to be married . lucas : and you 're ok with that ? georgie : do you mean admitting the agony of defeat ? lucas : well , you must have a line of people waiting to say `` i told you so . `` georgie : dillon and i do n't care about them . we are more concerned with what 's best for our relationship . everyone else can take a flying leap . lucas : that 's what i wanted to hear . georgie : you know , it 's funny . i used to think that being married to dillon meant that i would have all the time in the entire world with him , more than i could stand , but the reality was just the opposite . we would catch glimpses of each other just before we 'd pass out from exhaustion . oh , another marriage misconception -- beds are not made for anything other than sleeping . lucas : so you fell into the whole `` love equals marriage `` myth , hmm ? somehow saying those vows does n't guarantee smooth sailing . georgie : exactly . dillon and i had to work so hard just to staybove water , and there were always distractions -- i mean , well , for him , anyway . he had to fly to the markham islands with lulu -- you know , not write -- lucas : right , i thought -- georgie : not call , not have any responsibility . lucas : you had already forgiven dillon for that . georgie : i have , which is what tonight is all about -- giving us a chance to reconnect . lulu : ok . dillon : well -- lucky : hey , i dropped cameron off . you should be finished before me , so you can pick him up . elizabeth : wait a minute -- where are you going ? lucky : well , it 's memorial day . a lot of cops with families , they ask for the day off , so i 've been called in . elizabeth : no , no , no . you ca n't do that . lucky : what ? elizabeth : what is with everyone today in not respecting the recovery process ? you can not go back to work . it is too soon . you 're going to risk having another spinal cord injury . mac : uh , sorry to interrupt . have you seen maxie ? she 's supposed to be on volunteer duty today . elizabeth : she called in sick , like i wish lucky had . mac : why would he have to ? he 's out on disability . lucky : i 'm going in to cover the holiday . mac : on whose authorization ? lucky : the deputy sergeant called me . mac : that 's mchenry -- he 's new . i 'll make sure he knows to check with me first . lucky : mac , i 'm not going to check in -- mac : you 're in no shape to go back on the job , lucky . concentrate on your recovery . your job will be there when you 're ready . lucky : no , mac , i am ready . mac : i get the last word . lucky : are you happy now ?

sonny : well , since jason took my business , i 'm free to concentrate on things i 've been putting off . why does the new d.a . care ? in other words , why are you here ? alexis : always amazes me how awkward things are between us . it 's hard to remember that they were ever easy , but they were , and our daughter is living proof of that . no one can say that our life is n't absurd . i mean , who could imagine that you would be intimately involved with my long - lost , presumed - dead daughter ? sonny : why the stroll down memory lane ? alexis : just trying to make a connection for a minute . no big deal . why do n't we just deal with the situation at hand ? sonny : ok . alexis : yeah . then we agree . sonny : well , i might if i knew , you know , what the hell you 're talking about . alexis : sonny , i 'm the new d.a . if you screw up , i 'm going to have to prosecute you no matter how much i do n't want to rock the domestic boat . sonny : but you know what ? you 're talking like i did something wrong , alexis . alexis : word has it that you walked into a restaurant and you swung a wine bottle at juan escobar 's head . sonny : uh -- you know , you ca n't believe , you know , everything you hear . you should know that . alexis : ric assured me that yohad given up the business . your sudden enthusiasm to remodel seems to bear that out . my god , what were you thinking ? why were you attacking escobar ? if -- if you want to go legit , do it . if not , have the decency to claim your life and save emily and kristina the pain -- sonny : you know what ? screw you . lucky : how dare you undermine me to my boss . elizabeth : that is not what i did . lucky : no , you practically begged mac not to let your poor , pathetic , handicapped husband back to the force . elizabeth : what , lucky ? you -- ugh . nikolas : hey . voices carry , you know ? what 's -- what 's going on here ? lucky : well , i pulled the unpardonable sin by wanting to take charge of my life and go back to work , but elizabeth disapproved . and then she got mac to pull rank and then keep me out . nikolas : well , good for you , elizabeth . you have no business going back to work yet , lucky . you 're still recovering from back surgery . lucky : why would i even think that i would have your support ? you and elizabeth are practically reading from the same script . nikolas : well , if you mean that we both care about you , yeah . i have no argument with that . lucky : i mean , after all , why would the two of you wt me to be productive , i mean , i -- when i 'm doing nothing but sitting on my butt ? and then you -- you can be completely in control and you can be the big hero and pay all my bills . elizabeth : oh , lucky , that is not fair . you are hurt , you are in pain which has got to be why you 're so hostile and angry . lucky : no , i am angry and hostile because i am tired of the two of you treating me like i 'm a 5-year - old ! elizabeth : why is he so angry with me when all i 'm trying to do help him ? maxie : vanilla vodka , please . colen : n : sweet with a kick -- just like you , maxie . diego : hey , coleman ? does it bother you at all that maxie 's underage ? coleman : well , i have a little belief system . number one on the list , everybody minds their own business , which is why i let you freelance for me , no questions asked , diego . diego : listen , i would really appreciate it if you did n't broadcast our little arrangement . coleman : then do n't call me out in front of people . diego : that 's fair . what 's the preferred car for this week ? coleman : i 'm laying low for a while until things fall out between the escobars and morgan . there 's no use getting caught in the crossfire if it can be avoided . diego : look , i 'm not as cautious as you , man , ok ? so if you know of anyone that 's hiring , let me know because i 'm available for work . coleman : i 'll keep it in mind , slick . diego : so , does georgie know you 're here ? maxie : i 'll have another , please , coleman . diego , why do n't we stick to our usual arrangement ? you do n't tell georgie i was here , and i wo n't tell her you 're working for coleman . sonny : who the hell do you think you are ? coming into my home , dictating how i 'm supposed to live my life ? i 'm kristina father . i -- i 'll get to see her whenever i want to see her . as far as emily , we want to be together . you got nothing to say about that ! alexis : i wo n't let you , allow you , to speak to me that way . sonny : you 're not going to allow me to do anything because you have no authority over me here , no power over me here ! and if you do n't keep your mouth shut , stay out of my business , i will treat you like any other d.a . -- have you thrown out on your butt , locked up for corruption , or even disappear ! and i do n't want to hear `` i 'm the mother of your daughter `` crap . max : boss -- sonny : wait a minute ! i 'm not done ! max : do you want me to show miss davis out right now or -- sonny : get her out of here ! get her out -- get her out of here now !

alan : oh , that 's it , tracy -- take your time , have another cup of coffee while rome burns . listen , you might even be able to squeeze in a massage . tracy : i 'm not hearing you . alan : you have officially run out of time . you got to get lulu over here and tell her the truth . tracy : my focus is on luke today . go away . alan : this is about luke . lulu is luke 's daughter , and if she shows up at the court hearing -- which in all probability she will , seeing as the guardianship of her mother is at stake -- one of two things is going to happen . either she 's going to lose it and blurt out that scott killed rick , or she 's going to hear that luke raped laura . in either case , luke 's world is going to come crashing down around his ears , and the only way you can minimize the danger -- luke : is the ghost in residence ? alan : i am . tracy : sweetheart , i do n't have time to be haunted today . i have much bigger fish to fry -- namely you . [ scene_break ] jax : i understand it must bring up some pretty bad memories looking at my brother -- you know , virtually looking at the same face as the man who terrorized you . marty : it 's not your fault , mr. jacks . it 's just a bizarre , `` no one could 've predicted it `` coincidence . jax : well , be that as it may , i am not , you know , oblivious to your difficulty . carly : hey . jax : you 're very valuable to carly and i . we certainly want you to stay on here . but if jerry turns out to be too much for you , i will personally find you a job somewhere else . carly : we do n't want to lose you because jax 's brother bears an unfortunate resemblance to mr. craig . [ scene_break ] jason : jerry jacks is trying to prove -- he 's trying to prove that he 's not james craig . that he had the bad luck to choose the wrong plastic surgeon , that he was on the other side of the world during the hostage crisis . this is sonny : that 's one of the most ridiculous things i 've ever heard . i know you want jerry dead , but that subject is , like , number two on the list . number one -- we have to make sure that nothing ties you to alcazar 's disappearance . [ scene_break ] ric : okay , skye has n't seen fit to file a missing person 's report , even though alcazar 's been gone for days now . i think maybe he just vanished into thin air , especially since his jet is out at the port charles airport . and the venezuelan authorities have no record of him even entering the country . mac : it sounds like sonny and jason finally got their man . ric : well , if a crime 's been committed , we are obligated to investigate . mac : thanks for the heads - up . ric : look , i 'm going to get a warrant together . you put a team together and make sure they move as soon as it comes through . mac : i 'm on it . lorenzo 's voice : morgan .

[ scene_break ] emily : thanks , mike . lucky : so , where do we stand ? nikolas : well , scott 's going to try and force me to sign over guardianship of laura by exposing that -- that luke raped her . but alexis has managed to keep the courtroom closed and the records sealed , so -- so as long as lulu 's not in the courtroom , then she may never know , right ? lucky : you know what ? normally i 'm in favor of full disclosure , but i do n't know if lulu can handle the truth this ugly on top of everything she 's been through . elizabeth : well , maybe i can keep her away . i can just call her and tell her that i need help with jake . [ scene_break ] amelia : if eyes could shoot daggers , elizabeth would be dead sitting up . so unless you 've decided to confront her about having jason 's baby , you need to do a better job of covering . [ scene_break ] jason : alcazar is gone . there is no trace of him . sonny : we can no longer underestimate ric 's ability to nurse a vendetta , especially the one he has against you . he knows you 're never going to give up . so , following my brother 's twisted logic , if he can find evidence that you killed alcazar , then he will prosecute you for murder , right ? jason : yeah . sonny : so that way , he does n't have to go against me . jason : okay , there 's nothing to find . there 's nothing to find , but i agree that ric is an ongoing threat . sonny : what we need to do is get the evidence that alcazar had against ric . that way , we can keep ric under control . jason : i 'm already working on that . spinelli : uh -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry , mr. corinthos , sir . i -- i have an update for stone cold . okay . yeah . um -- okay , so i -- i compiled a list of alcazar 's bank records and safety - deposit box and -- sonny : are you -- since when do you trust this fruit cup to do our business ? [ scene_break ] alexis : what 's so fascinating ? ric : oh , it 's just notes on a motion . look at you -- back in the game , huh ? alexis : i 'm representing nikolas in the laura spencer guardianship matter . ric : oh , that should be a slam - dunk , since scott has no legal tie to laura . alexis : legalities are beside the point . ric : well , if you 're good enough to prove that jerry jacks and james craig are two different people , making sure that laura 's son stays on as her guardian should be a piece of cake . for what it 's worth , it 's good to see that you 're feeling so well . alexis : it 's worth absolutely nothing to me , unless you return my daughter . if not , save the compliments . [ scene_break ] jerry : i 'm in the odd position of having to apologize for my face , and i do profusely . i mean , it 's a difficult situation to be around , and i suppose i could use back exits or wear a fake mustache . jax : jerry , this really is n't about you . you know , i 'm just trying to make sure that my staff is comfortable . marty : `` comfortable `` might take a while , okay , but i do n't have a problem working here . once you get past the superficial resemblance , it 's clear that mr. jacks is a much gentler soul than james craig . jerry : oh , well , i appreciate the vote of confidence . carly : marty , thank you . we do n't want to run this hotel without you . jerry : jax ? could we talk for a moment ? jax : sure . excuse me . jerry : listen , could you at least pretend that you 're happy to see your long- lost brother ? jax : you 're going to have to get used to the fact that i 'm not going to go out of my way to protect you , okay ? i am lying through my teeth at your victims , i 'm calling in favors -- it 's really quite fun for me . jerry : you know what ? your marriage has n't improved your disposition , you know ? jax : you want me to be happy ? jerry : no , i want us to be happy and move on . jax : is that how you operate , huh ? you create havoc with people 's lives , and then you just go on your merry way ? jerry : that 's right . jax : i suppose i 'm not one to talk , am i ? i 'm living proof of what a person will do unexpectedly for someone . i mean , just look at how far i 'll go in the name of family -- how i can just turn a blind eye and excuse the inexcusable . you know , because of my loyalty to you , jerry , or maybe my stupidity , you may never pay for the crimes you 've committed . and if this matters at all to you , you were right about one thing . we may be family , but you 're not the brother i loved . you 're a stranger . [ scene_break ] lulu : of course i 'm going to court today . mom 's whole family needs to there to support nikolas and make sure that the judge knows that mom would n't want scott baldwin making decisions for her . luke : well , since you bring up what your mother would want , i can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt she would not want you in that courtroom listening to baldwin spew a lot of toxic , poisonous garbage . tracy : scott is going to use every aspect of your mother 's life to make your father look monstrous , and then he 's going to start on nikolas , and then alexis is going to do the same thing to him . in short , the afternoon promises to be a horrendous combination of painful and tedious . lulu : okay , okay , all right , i get that you 're trying to help . but this is a spencer family issue , and i 'm a spencer , so i 'm going to be in court today . monica : um , lulu , if i could just offer a little bit of my own experience . my children had to sit in court and listen to all of my deepest , darkest secrets being dragged out , and believe me , no mother wants that . edward : you know , monica 's right . now , you are a very strong - willed young woman . but there are times when you should listen to your elders -- lulu : oh , my -- this is my mother that -- that we 're talking about ! why ca n't you guys understand that i need to do this ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : hey , scott . scott ! scott : uh , listen , bobbie , i do n't want to have this fight with you . you and i have -- i 'm crazy about you , and we were more than just friends . but when it comes to luke and laura , you 're on that side of the fence , i 'm on this side , and there 's nothing you 're going to say or do that 's going to flip me over to your side , okay ? bobbie : scott , you are right -- you are right . we are more than friends , which is exactly why i understand how you think . how you rationalize your own worst behavior and you try to convince yourself it 's for someone else 's good , which is `` exactly `` what you 're going to try to do today . scott : well , bobbie , in your loyalty to your brother , i mean , you have to admit that he has caused laura quite a bit of pain over the years . bobbie : hey , you know what ? luke has made some terrible mistakes , and so has laura , but they forgave each other . that 's the part that you ca n't seem to grasp . scott : yeah , well , because of what your brother has done , laura is unable to speak for herself now . bobbie : yeah , so , who died and left you the right to speak for her ? scott , laura loved luke , not you . if she had , she would 've stayed with you . scott : well , let 's not get that personal here , okay ? bobbie : it is personal . you 're dragging laura 's most painful secrets out in open court for your own vindictive purposes . what about her children ? what about her only daughter , who is going to be so devastated when she hears the ancient history that you are so determined to dredge up ? scott , please stop . just stop and think about this . if laura were to wake up tomorrow , would she thank you , or would she finally turn against you for good ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , lulu would see right through any conveniently timed invitation to go help with the kids . elizabeth : well , i can try . i mean , if i can just get her to the park , i can maybe distract her long enough to keep her away from the courthouse -- but it will only work once . if this trial goes on for days , she 's eventually going to hear the truth . nikolas : well , according to alexis , i should be able to retain guardianship . and once the judge makes the decision and the records are sealed , then we can just put this behind us . lucky : yeah , but what if scott decides to tell lulu about the rape just to get back at dad ? emily : hey , one crisis at a time . you know , first nikolas has to stay put as laura 's guardian . nikolas : well , it would certainly help if i could fight for my mother without having to worry about my sister 's heart being ripped to shreds . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , so i 've got it -- the perfect way to reconnect with jason . i am going to take him for a picnic in the park . [ scene_break ] jason : sonny , spinelli has proven that he 's trustworthy . he helped me go in after the hostages , and he 's come through with any research that i 've ever needed , ever . spinelli : yes , i 'm -- i 'm the pilot -- like , we 're a team . sonny : you may be computer smart , but you 're real - world stupid . and your mouth moves about 10 times faster than your brain , which is why a lot of stupid stuff comes out ! unless you really are nursing some secret pain ? jason : what -- what are you talking about ? sonny : `` uh -- uh -- uh -- `` spinelli : no , i -- i think mr. corinthos , sir , uh , misinterpreted -- if he just -- jason : okay , shut up , shut up . sonny : okay , i 'm going to give you a few minutes to , you know , talk to your new protégé . jason : what are you doing ? what are you -- spinelli : look , it 's true , it 's true . it -- i -- it -- i did mention -- i did mention your secret pain by mistake in passing to mr. corinthos , sir , but i did n't reveal anything . i would never -- i would never , ever reveal that you 're the true father of the baby . i -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry .

[ scene_break ] jason : i do n't want to hear that you 're mouthing off to sonny or anybody else about my secret pain or anything that is personal to me . spinelli : yes . look , your secrets -- including and especially the true paternity of baby jake -- they 're sacred to me , okay ? i -- i could n't help noticing that mr. -- mr. corinthos , sir seems pretty well - equipped to handle a supreme confidence , so -- i do n't know . maybe if you did confide in him , he could maybe -- jason : this is my situation ! spinelli : yeah . jason : mine . spinelli : yes . jason : not sonny 's , not yours . keep your mouth shut . sonny : everything straightened out here ? spinelli uh -- ahem -- yeah , absolutely . the jackal is -- sonny : get out of here . get out of here ! jason : hold on , hold on . sonny : what ? jason : i want him to keep searching for whatever alcazar had on ric . he 's our best chance , i 'm telling you right now . sonny : you -- you may be willing to put your life and future in spinelli 's hands , but can i tell you something ? i 'm not . [ scene_break ] lulu : hey . ahem . elizabeth : hey . lulu : i came because you said it 's important , but it 's pretty obvious that you 're using the kids as a diversion to keep me away from the hearing . elizabeth : why are you always so suspicious ? i do need help with the kids , and i wanted to talk to you . lulu : oh . uh -- why ? elizabeth : well , i thought that maybe we could figure out what went wrong between the two of us and fix it once and for all . lulu : that 's already done . it is . i 'm -- i 'm very happy for you and lucky , and you guys are back on track , and you have beautiful kids , and if you really love lucky , then -- elizabeth : oh , but , see , that 's just it , you always say that -- `` if you love lucky . `` why do you doubt it ? lulu : because you turned on a dime , elizabeth . i 'm sorry , but even now i have to wonder if your reunion with my brother is -- is more about this new baby than it is about loving lucky .

[ scene_break ] mac : i heard skye finally filed a missing person 's report . ric : yes , giving the police probable cause to search alcazar 's residence . and in case there 's any question as to the admissibility of whatever we happen to find there , a duly executed warrant . it 's becoming increasingly apparent to me that mr. alcazar is dead . tear that house apart , prove who killed him .
