jordan : you called ? anna : want to talk to you about julian jerome ... and who he 's reporting to . luke : it 's about damn time . julian : pretty grouchy for a guy on his honeymoon . luke : i do n't like to be left waiting , julian . julian : relax . i needed to be alone first . i was with alexis , and i needed an excuse to get away . luke : yeah , well , see , that 's why it 's not a good idea to spend the night . you need to get in , get out . you know what i 'm saying ? julian : yeah , it 's fine . i told her i was on my way to see lucas at the hospital . luke : well , it 's good to know that you 're such a devoted father . i was worried there for a while . thought maybe i 'd have to , uh , go after your daughter next . sam : nathan , nina is alive . nathan : oh , you heard . look , i 'd appreciate it if you kept it to yourself . i do n't want to tell silas anything until i know if it 's true , and so far , i have n't been able to confirm it . sam : wait a minute . but i -- i do n't need confirmation . nathan : look , look . you know , as well as i do , that just because my mo -- my aunt says something , does n't make it true . sam : i have no idea what madeline said to you , but that 's not how i know nina 's alive . nathan : what do you mean ? sam : i know nina 's alive because i 've seen her . nina : who are you ? silas : this is kiki . she lives here , too . nina : oh . are you one of stephen 's children ? silas : no , kiki is my daughter . nina : yours ? with whom ? silas : ava jerome . ava : if this is gon na work , i 'm gon na need way more closet space . morgan : what the hell are you doing here ? nathan : where did you see her ? sam : in the park , yesterday . she kind of crashed my son 's birthday . nathan : she 's in port charles ? sam : yes . nathan : what was she doing in the park ? sam : looking for silas , and obviously , she found him . nathan : so , how is she ? sam : i mean , she seemed good . she 's in a wheelchair , a little weak , but other than that ... nathan : so , she 's talking ? she remembers who she is ? sam : yeah . i mean , her mind seems on it . yes , she 's talking -- a lot . nathan : she 's still alive . so , i do n't under -- so , if you saw her in the park yesterday , where is she now ? sam : well , she 's , uh , with silas . nathan : at his place ? sam : yes . nina spent the night with silas last night . nina : you have a child with ava jerome ? silas : yes . kiki : hi . nina : hi . i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to be rude . i thought you broke it off with ava after i went into the coma . silas : i did . ava was already pregnant . we went our separate ways . i did n't even know kiki existed until she and ava showed up here . kiki : i was told my whole life that someone else was my father . silas : first time i saw kiki ... something inside me ... told me ava had my child . nina : i was supposed to have your child . kiki : i 'm gon na go change , okay ? nina : i was so excited when i found out that i was pregnant . i knew you would be a great father . and ... when -- when i woke up from the coma , they said i had a miscarriage . i wanted to be a mom . i wanted you to be a daddy . not only did i lose 20 years of my life , but i lost my baby , too . and your mistress got to have your child instead . why did ava get to have your baby and not me ? morgan : what 's going on ? is ava moving in here ? ava : please understand that it 's only temporary . i still have the penthouse . that 's my home . morgan : that 's -- that 's not a denial . sonny : okay , let 's go talk about this outside . morgan : no . stop ! stop ! yes or no -- are you moving in with my father ? ava : yes , i am . morgan : why ? anna : i assume you know julian named sonny corinthos ' brother , ric lansing , as his boss and he 's now in police custody . jordan : yes , i am aware of that . in fact , i was just in d.c. discussing it with my superiors . anna : oh . and ? jordan : and they called me down there to make sure we have the right person . luke : yeah , next time , no delays . otherwise , i 'm gon na get jumpy and decide that ... tracy : luke ! luke : ... you need another reminder . hi . tracy : you 're not on the phone . i thought we made an agreement -- no cell phones in paradise . luke : yeah , well , honey , i 'm just catching up with lulu . my little grandson has a fever . tracy : oh . i 'm sorry . well , give her my love , do n't take too long , because you and i have a whole day of honeymooning ahead of us . in fact , i was just gon na book some massages . luke : ooh . that sounds great . tracy : okay . do n't take too long . luke : no , i wo n't , baby . where were we ? julian : you were threatening my daughter . luke : oh , yeah . do i have to go into detail about what could happen to a woman as smokin ' hot as the lovely samantha ? julian : now , i did what i was supposed to , did n't i. i named ric lansing as my boss . luke : yeah , and it worked like a charm , did n't it . the cops think that they 've got the big bad man who brought the drugs into port charles . their self- congratulatory statements are all over the internet . julian : exactly . it 's because i did a very thorough frame job . luke : yes , it was . so the operation is intact . while i 'm trapped on this godforsaken honeymoon , you can get back to work . silas : i 'm sorry my actions continue to hurt you . nina : well , what 's the point of getting upset about it ? it 's all ... ancient history to everyone except me . silas : what happened was n't fair to a lot of people . nina : yeah , it 's a lot to take in . it 's just one surprise after the other . [ knock on door ] silas : [ sniffles ] nathan : where is she ? nina ... nina : who are you ? nathan : it 's me . it 's james . nina : oh , my god . j . nathan : yeah . oh , god . julian : i do n't think that 's the best idea right now , not after that bust . luke : one shipment was derailed . the operation is intact . julian : most of my crew is still in jail . luke : so round up another crew . you got immunity , did n't you ? julian : yeah . my lawyer 's made sure ironclad . luke : yeah , ironclad , which means you 're free and clear . so the operation is smooth sailing , as far as i 'm concerned . time to start moving the product again . julian : fine . we 'll discuss the next shipment when you get back into town . luke : you go back to work right now , you and your friend jordan . jordan : well , according to my superiors , ric lansing is denying all charges against him . anna : of course he 's denying them . that 's what criminals do . it does n't mean he did n't commit the crimes . just a cursory glance at his criminal record -- the amount of times he 's been investigated , his links to the zacchara family -- i mean , it just shows that he 's well - established in organized crime . additionally , julian furnished me with a paper trail that links him to their organization and not to mention the gun found in lansing 's room . jordan : well , you know , guns can be planted . anna : well , this has lansing 's prints all over it . i mean , that directly ties him to the shooting in the jerome gallery . jordan : would n't shooting julian 's son imply that lansing was his competitor rather than his boss ? anna : yeah , but julian said that it was an attempt to intimidate him , a retaliation for trying to get out of the business . apparently , lansing has threatened his family before . jordan : then i guess it sounds like the case is as good as closed . anna : right . that 's why i wanted to talk to you . because your whole reason for coming here , undercover , was to get the man at the top , the man actually responsible for bringing drugs into port charles . jordan : yes . anna : so you got him . i mean , as far as i can tell , there 's no other reason for you to remain undercover . nina : oh , my gosh . so much i missed . [ laughing ] nathan : you look the same . nina : no , i do n't . nathan : why would n't you call me ? nina : no , it was my fault . i told him not to . i was afraid . i was afraid to see you grown up . oh , my god . you look amazing . like a man . this is what 20 years in a coma looks like , but ... i missed so much . nathan : it 's all right . you 're awake now . everything 's okay . everything 's gon na be all right . nina : yeah . kiki : oh . i 'm sorry to interrupt . hi , detective west . i 'm gon na get going , okay ? silas : you know , i 'll go with you . nina : wait . you 're leaving ? silas : yeah , i 'll give you a chance to catch up with your brother . but you 're coming back , right ? silas : of course . i live here . nina : oh , yeah . of course . i 'm sorry . i 'm on overload a little bit . do n't take long . silas : i wo n't . enjoy the time with your brother . nina : thanks . [ door closes ] kiki : are you okay ? silas : honestly , i do n't know what i am . kiki : this is unbelievable . i mean , huge . your wife is alive . silas : my wife is alive . kiki : so , what does this mean for you and sam ? sonny : this is not the way it looks . trust me . she needs protection so julian ca n't touch her . morgan : mm . julian . sonny : 'cause julian 's still after her 'cause she 's been feeding me information about his business . ava : morgan , you were there at the gallery that night , and if you had n't been , julian would have killed me . sonny : julian 's walking around free because he ratted out his own boss to the cops . morgan : yeah , i already heard about that . good old uncle ric . you really are the family man , are n't you , dad ? sonny : he has an immunity deal , okay ? that 's the way he 's able to stay free . she needs somewhere safe to stay . that 's all . ava : you understand ? i have to stay here for my protection . morgan : i do n't believe either one of you . morgan : how is julian a threat ? you just said that he turned in his boss in exchange for immunity , so does n't that mean that he 's basically out of the business ? ava : even if julian no longer has a professional reason for revenge , he still has a personal one . my brother is a spiteful man . and believe me , he will want to pay me back for choosing you over him . morgan : oh , so this is -- this is my fault now ? ava : no , that 's not what i meant at all . morgan : okay . i do n't care what you meant because this has nothing to do with julian . ava : it 's the truth , morgan . morgan : okay . fine . so if that 's the reason , then you can move in with me , because i can protect you from julian . morgan : you do n't even have your own place , morgan . you live with your mom . carly does n't want her anywhere near her house , let alone live there . morgan : then i 'll move in with ava . you made it a point that you still have the penthouse . we can live there together . okay . you say you want to be with me , you say that you want this baby and it 'll be mine . ava : i meant it . i love you . morgan : okay . then put your money where your mouth is and leave with me right now . nina : i 'm sorry . i think i 've been handling this pretty well . i mean , i just focus on silas . he 's basically the same . but you ? intellectually , i knew that i 'd lost time , but you make it real . nathan : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . nina : no , do n't be sorry . stop . this is me . i should be making this okay for you . nathan : no . hey , no , you do n't need to make this okay for me . it 's all right . do n't need to make it okay . just feel what you feel . nina : so , help me out here , okay ? tell me about you . now that you probably do n't like `` star wars `` or the yankees anymore . nathan : no , i still like the yankees , but `` star wars `` maybe not so much . i used to visit you , you know , back at the clinic . would come in and sit by your bed , let you know what was going on with me . nina : oh . you were so young when that happened . i hate the idea of you sitting in some stuffy room , talking to me . you should 've been out playing and living . nathan : oh , i did plenty . i did plenty of both . no time i spent with you was ever wasted . nina : so , you have grown into such a ... handsome man . you really have , j . and your eyes ... i bet your eyes still get you everything that you want . nathan : ah ... nina : do n't they ? so , what 'd you grow up to be ? do n't tell me it 's a fighter pilot . nathan : no , no . police detective . but -- but i did score the highest on the academy 's evasive - driving course . nina : wow ! really ? detective officer james reeves . that i 'm sure did n't go over very well with our mother . nathan : yeah , no , not so much . no , i go by nathan west now . nina : oh , really ? your middle name and mom 's maiden name . nathan : yeah . i used it when i applied to the academy , and it just kind of stuck . nin why 'd you change your name ? nathan : for the same reason i became a detective -- for you . sam : so ... how 's nina ? silas : she 's okay . she 's with nathan . sam : oh . nathan . oh , i 'm sorry . that was me . i ran into him at kelly 's and i ... i let the cat out of the bag , did n't i ? i assumed he already knew . silas : it 's okay . sam : why did n't he know ? silas : well ... wanted to call him last night . nina did n't want me to . sam : why not ? silas : i guess she was n't ready . sam : she wanted to be alone with you . silas : i do n't know . i mean , i already told you -- she slept in the bed . i spent the night on the couch . sam : yeah . gosh . yeah , i have no doubt about that . i 'm sure it must have been pretty awkward . silas : yeah , that 's one way of putting it . she 's , um ... she 's feeling pretty overwhelmed . a lot 's changed in the last 20 years . sam : yeah . i can imagine . i know that ... i 'm feeling really guilty about this whole situation right now . i mean , i ca n't imagine how upset she must have felt when you told her about us . silas : i have n't told her yet . nina : you became a cop for me ? why ? nathan : i had to make sure that the person who did this to you paid for it . if my superiors knew that i was your brother , then they would have never let me work this case , so i changed my name . nina : case ? my ... my coma was -- was an accident . was n't it ? nathan : no . no , it was n't . nina : well , y - you mean someone did this to me ... on -- on purpose ? nathan : yes . you were given an intentional overdose of the antidepressant that you were taking . but you do n't need to worry , because the person responsible is behind bars . nina : who 's responsible for robbing me of 20 years of my life ? jordan : why do you care if i remain undercover or not ? anna : well , first of all , you 're operating in my town , and i expect to be kept in the loop . but there 's more at stake here , and ... letting you go is a big black eye on my department . jordan : right . the public thinks the pcpd botched the arrest . anna : exactly . and my detective , dante falconeri , you know , he -- he took it like a champ , but i hate perpetuating the fraud that he committed a rights violation . and then i have mayor lomax hammering away at me , breathing down my neck , making sure we do n't make another `` mistake . `` and that 's ... really affecting my work . you know ? i ... i just want to set the record straight and make it clear that my department was n't at fault . it just looks bad , you know ? jordan : of course , of course . and , look , i am sorry that your department had to take the hit , but that was the only way that i could maintain my cover . anna : well , you do n't have to remain undercover now . what about your son , you know ? how does he feel , thinking that his mother 's a drug dealer ? julian : jordan ? luke : yeah , you remember her , do n't you ? it was you who brought her into the organization , convinced me what an asset she 'd be . julian : yeah . she 's also the one who get herself busted . luke : right . so you owe me one . but she is in the clear . she managed to get out of the net . she left the cops with their hands in their pockets , so , uh ... that counts for something in my book . julian : maybe . luke : end of discussion . all that matters is jordan is free and connected . so you two can start back to work now . julian : sorry . i ca n't do that . anna : i mean , i 'm sure tj was devastated to learn that his mother 's a drug dealer . i ca n't imagine how he feels now that you 're free . jordan : actually , i do n't know how he feels . i have n't actually seen him since i 've been released . i had to head to washington almost immediately . anna : i 'm sorry to hear that . this ca n't be easy for you at all . jordan : you have no idea . anna : well , i do know . i mean , i 've been where you are . i 've operated on both sides ... let my family think the worst of me . i hated putting my job before my family . i think it was almost worse than the physical danger of being undercover . jordan : yeah , it is . anna : well , you 've done your job . you got the man you came here to get . there 's no reason you ca n't tell your son the truth now . luke : what was that ? julian : i ca n't just go back to work . i already told alexis that i was out of the business , not to mention that i turned in my supposed boss . and after all that , i 'm just supposed to what ? say never mind ? luke : jules , you do n't have to make a formal announcement . if you 're gon na be precious about it , just move it all through jordan . let her do the dirty work . but make no mistake about it -- she has to know that you are in charge , which means i 'm in charge . julian : have you forgotten about the fact that alexis is n't the only one we need to worry about ? what happens when the drugs start flowing back into the city ? wo n't take the cops long to figure out that ric was n't the big boss after all . luke : you 're giving the pcpd much too much credit . we have a mountain of evidence against lansing . and it is n't like the drugs have `` property of julian jerome `` stamped on them . the cops are just gon na believe that some new family moved in to the port charles territory , as they always have done since time immemorial . now , do we have an understanding , or do i need to send some big nasty bastard to visit the lovely samantha ? sam : you still have n't told nina about us ? silas : i started to , twice . we kept getting interrupted . sam : interrupted ? silas : first by rafe , second time by kiki . nina was blindsided ... when she found out that i had a daughter with ava . she got upset thinking about the baby that we were supposed to have . sam : the baby that she lost when she went into the coma . silas : really hurt her that i had a child and she did n't because of madeline . nina : my mother ? my mother put me in a coma on purpose ? nathan : she tried to pin the whole thing on silas . she spent my whole childhood telling me it was his fault . and then -- and then we found out the truth . it was madeline all along . nina : why would my mother want to hurt me ? nathan : she did n't want to hurt you . she wanted to make you lose your baby . nina : what ? nathan : she knew that an overdose of the antidepressant , like the one that you were taking , would cause a miscarriage . nina : she knew what the baby meant to me . she knew how happy i was . nathan : i know . and she was afraid that the baby would tie you and silas together forever . nina : she hated silas . oh , she was so happy when she showed me those pictures of him and his mistress . she had a divorce attorney all lined up . she wanted to end my marriage . nathan : oh , i know , but she had n't counted on a baby . she knew that you were gon na forgive him the affair for the sake of the child . nina : i was gon na tell silas about the baby that night . nathan : i know . and she could n't have that . she felt ... like maybe if she got rid of the baby , she 'd get rid of silas , too . nina : i do n't understand . why would she want to get rid of my baby ? her grandchild . why would she want to take my baby ... and take my life ? [ sniffles ] morgan : you said yourself i protected you from julian . if i had n't been there , then he would 've killed you . ava : yes , that 's true . [ clears throat ] but as grateful as i am , i think that we need to admit that it was pretty much just dumb luck that you showed up right then at the right time like you did . morgan : so , what are you saying ? that you do n't think i can save you again ? ava : i 'm just saying that you are n't prepared for any and all attacks the same way that sonny is . morgan : i should 've known . ava : what ? morgan : no , you say that -- that what 's between you and my dad , it did n't mean anything , that you want the baby to be mine , and you know what ? that 's actually what i came here to tell my dad is that i wanted that , too . ava : what ? morgan : i know . it 's absolutely crazy -- is n't it ? -- that i still want you after everything you 've done to me . and yet again , you come to my father instead of me . i do n't know what 's going on between you two , but you know what ? i do n't want any part of it anymore . good luck with your baby . [ door opens , closes ] nina : our mother 's a monster . she 's a monster . she tried to destroy my life and destroy yours by telling you so many lies . what , to avenge me ? from who ? silas ? while all the while , she 's the one who 's lying and manipulating ? nathan : she lied about a lot of things . nina : what do you mean ? what ? what other things ? nathan : look , it does n't matter . nina : no ! no . please do n't do that to me . a lot of people are n't being honest with me because they 're afraid . they 're -- they 're trying to keep things from me , and -- and i know they have the best intentions , but it 's demeaning , honestly . they 're trying to stop me from living my own life . please , please , i need you to be different . i need you to be honest with me . silas : nina was already upset about kiki , and then ... nathan showed up , and i thought it was just best to give them some time alone . nathan : madeline reeves is not my mother . nina : what ? nathan : i 'm adopted . nina : that 's impossible . nathan : do you remember her being pregnant with me ? nina : i was at school . the first time i saw you , you were a week old . nathan : my birth mother is madeline 's sister . nina : she -- she talked about ... a sister she had that lived in new york but rarely . so -- so you think that this woman is your biological mother ? nathan : that 's right . nina : chance she could be lying ? she 's lied about so many other things . i mean , to deny that you 're her biological son -- that 's hateful , even for her . nathan : it 's not a lie . biologically , i 'm not your brother . i 'm your cousin . nina : no . no , you 're my brother . you 're my brother . i 've lost so many things . please , i do n't want to lose you . you will always , always be my brother . promise me . silas : nina and nathan have a lot to work through , and ... to be honest , i could use some time . how strange is this life ? just ... when i accepted that nina was gone ... that i could finally put her behind me and ... sam : i know . and tell me that you loved me . silas : i do love you , sam . that has n't changed . that never will . nathan : you will always be my sister , and i love you just the same . nina : thank you . i need that more than ever , because ... sam : everything is different now . julian : you do n't need to go anywhere near my daughter . i 'm a man of my word . we made a deal . i 'll stick to it . luke : great . i 'm glad to hear you 're on board . now get to work . i 'm off to a massage . i do n't mind telling you , as much as i hate all things honeymoon , i am so looking forward to an hour alone , away from my lovely bride with a masseuse . let 's hope she 's hot . tracy : luke ! great news . i just booked the last couples massage available . you and i are gon na be sharing two whole hours of uninterrupted bliss . luke : oh ... goodie ! [ chuckles ] julian : sounds like you 've got a busy afternoon ahead of you . enjoy . anna : i hate to see you in limbo . i know the toll it takes , believe me . jordan : were you able to undo the damages ? you know , when you had to play both sides . anna : oh . i was able to explain ... make amends . but time lost is time lost forever . and the lies you tell ... the pain you cause , it resonates . i mean , my daughter is -- is ... astonishingly resilient . but i know she still carries the scars from my choices . i know that . jordan : yeah , i know thomas will , too . anna : then you should stop this before it gets any worse . imagine how you will feel when you tell him that you were undercover all along , that you 're one of the good guys . jordan : well , you 've certainly given me a lot to think about . anna : okay . i have to get back to the station . uh , i do n't know if you 're interested , but there 's a review of that new tapas place on page 3 . looks kind of good . thomas -- uh , tj uh , it 's your mom . listen , i know you 're not , uh -- you 're upset with me right now , but ... there 's something i need to talk to you about . it 's important . look , you know , i 'll just try to track you down , but if you happen to pick up this message before i find you , can you just , uh -- can you call me back ? i love you , baby . julian . julian : jordan . talk about a coincidence . i was just about to call you . jordan : yeah , you know , i -- i have to , uh -- i ca n't talk right now . i 've got to tell my son something really important . julian : your son is gon na have to wait . we have to get back to work . kiki : okay ! chill ! morgan . morgan : you 're not gon na believe this . okay ? i thought about what you asked , if i had enough love to get past what ava did to me . kiki : okay . morgan : i 'm a freakin ' idiot . i convinced myself that i could get past what my dad did , that me and ava could be together , so i went to his house , i told him he was off the hook , and then i told him i was gon na find ava and tell her that i would take responsibility of this baby . kiki : oh . what did he say ? morgan : nothing . he did n't say anything , because we g interrupted because i did n't have to go looking for ava . she was there . kiki : at sonny 's ? morgan : yeah . and why ? why , you might ask ? because they both swear that this little fling that they had was a one - time thing . what was it ? just a moment of weakness ? kiki : well , obviously not , because you 're pissed about something . morgan : she 's moving in . kiki : she 's what ? morgan : yes . she was already complaining about not having enough closet space . kiki : that makes no sense . why would my mom move in with sonny ? ava : well , thanks a lot . if there was any hope of me reconciling with morgan , you just destroyed that . sonny : did i tell you to barge in on a private conversation ? ava : i did n't know morgan was here . and i certainly did n't want him to find out about our ... little arrangement the way he did . sonny : well , you know what ? sooner or later , he was gon na find out you were living here . ava : i could 've lived at the penthouse with him . sonny : no chance in hell . you 've been preying on my son for months . you think i was gon na let that continue ? ava : so you wanted this to happen . you wanted to hurt morgan like that . sonny : no , you hurt morgan the second you let him into your bed , and you hurt him worse when you laid down with me . ava : [ laughs ] as i recall , you were quite a willing participant . sonny : yeah , and i hated that for many reasons . but you got what you wanted . you 're pregnant . ava : that 's right . so you might want to show me a little consideration . sonny : well , there 's no way i 'm letting you go on the lam with that child . you 're under my roof , you will stay here for the rest of your life , which means the duration of your pregnancy . ava : morgan wanted to forgive me . he loves me that much . sonny : if morgan knew what you did , he would not have anything to do with you . ava : you do n't know that . sonny : you think i 'm wrong ? go ahead . call him . tell him what you did . sonny : call morgan . tell him that you shot olivia and murdered connie , and see if he wants to still play house with you . ava : maybe i 'll call michael instead ... and tell him that you shot a.j . , that all the while you were comforting him , it was you that killed his father . sonny : i do n't care . go ahead . but we both know you 're not gon na do it . ava : anymore than you 'll tell morgan what i did . sonny : well , it looks like we 're stuck with each other . ava : appears so . sonny : till death ... do us part . ava : i 'll be in my room . sonny : [ laughing ] morgan : my dad and ava , they gave me some convoluted excuse to why ava has to stay there , which was an obvious lie . kiki : are you sure ? are you sure there is n't more to this situation ? morgan : there 's one reason -- there 's one reason why ava is staying with my dad , and that 's because they mean more to each other than they 're saying . kiki : i 'm so sorry , morgan . jordan : what 're you talking about ? i thought you wanted out of this business . julian : yeah . well , now i 'm back in , thanks to our boss . jordan : what do you mean ? what -- what -- we do n't have a boss . ric lansing is behind bars . i mean , there 's not much he can do from there . julian : i was n't talking about ric lansing . sam : your wife is back . you ca n't tell me that that does n't mean anything . you never thought you were gon na see her again . you 've got to be feeling something for nina . silas : you 're the one i love . you 're the one i want to be with . i 'm gon na tell nina just this very moment , she 's not ready to hear it . nina : you know , part of me thought i could just walk my ... wheel ... my way back into my life . i mean , i knew there would be some adjustments , but i thought , fundamentally , it would be the same . how -- how wrong was i ? nathan : i am so sorry . nina : no , do n't -- do n't apologize . this was not you . this was madeline . we agreed , right ? we agreed . we 're brother and sister . nathan : always will . always will be . nina : always will be . so much has changed . silas has a child with ava jerome ... my mother put me in a coma , atrophying ... while the rest of the world was going on . nathan : i know . it 's a lot to process . i wish i could make it easier on you . nina : it 's a lot to process . but there 's one thing i know for sure . silas : i 'm so sorry about this , sam . right now , i think nina thinks i 'm the only person that she can count on . i just want to be careful about how i take that away from her . listen , i 'm gon na do it . i 'm gon na tell her , and this whole thing 's gon na work out . sam : i want to believe that . silas : then do . nina : everything may have changed ... but one thing i know for sure ... the one thing i can hold on to ... is i love silas ... and i 'll never let him go .

maxie : okay , well , give georgie , like , a million kisses for me and tell her that i miss her , and i ca n't wait to see her again . thanks , spinelli . good night . nathan : [ sighs ] kill me now . maxie : ca n't . my nails are wet . nathan : well , tell me something , will you ? maxie : that i can do . nathan : were you always picking up after your sister 's messes ? maxie : [ scoffs ] nathan : what ? maxie : uh , nothing . it was just always the other way around . i was the eternal screw - up . georgie was the golden child . anyway , what did nina do now ? oh , no , she did n't let ric knock her up , did she ? nathan : oh , come on , max . really ? maxie : sorry . then what ? nathan : it 's not , um -- it 's not so much what nina did . it 's what i did . i think , uh -- i think in trying to get her away from ric , i may have pushed those two closer together . [ scene_break ] nina : bigger horns . definitely bigger horns . silas : your aunt did n't feel the need to tell me where she was heading . and , i 'm sorry , your dinner may be a bust . it 's too bad . kiki : i was actually pretty eager to get to know my new aunt , even though she 'll never take my mom 's place . you know what , no . i 'm not throwing in the towel just yet . what time is it ? silas : it 's never too late . kiki : yeah . you 're right . i mean , dinner could totally be salvaged if i can just track her down . i just -- i hope that denise has n't gotten herself in any kind of trouble . [ scene_break ] morgan : looking at you , i see -- seeing ava , it 's like holding you in my arms . it 's like i 'm holding ava .

[ scene_break ] rosalie : everything in order ? nikolas : and then some , now that i have ned 's shares , courtesy of nina . rosalie : or courtesy of me ? nikolas : i 'm this close to seizing control over elq . rosalie : [ chuckles ] what a successful , little conniver you 've become . your mother would be proud . [ scene_break ] luke : the other guests left when i asked . do us all a favor and follow their example . dillon : i 'm not taking a single step until i get an explanation . why are you doing this to my mother ? our conversation earlier must have given you a good laugh , huh ? `` do n't worry , dillon . i wo n't hurt your mother . i love her . this is it for us . `` luke : i meant it ... at the time . dillon : at the time ? ! you said that to me not four hours ago ! no . you do not get to destroy her again and walk away . i wo n't let you . luke : this is between me and tracy . dillon : oh , the hell it is . you invited us here to celebrate your engagement to my mother . okay , if you want to go back on that promise , that 's fine , but you damn sure better tell us why . lulu : well ? you asked me to drop everything and plan this party . you said that you wanted to pay tribute to the woman you loved . well , there she is , dad . this is what you said you wanted . luke : i know what i said i wanted . things change . lulu : well , that 's not an answer . you ca n't expect us to accept that and move on . say something ! tell us what happened ! luke : it 's complicated . laura : luke . luke , i - i think lulu and dillon are absolutely right , and they deserve an answer . and i believe that tracy deserves the truth . [ scene_break ] nikolas : leave my mother out of this . rosalie : [ scoffs ] it was a joke . nikolas : not laughing . rosalie : okay . got it . from now on , i will stick to business . nikolas : business that will soon be concluded . before tonight , i had managed to amass 32 % of elq 's voting stock . rosalie : and now , with nina 's shares , you are up to 43.5 % . nikolas : precisely . 6.5 % shy of half the company . a hair 's breadth away from a controlling stake . rosalie : so close you can almost taste it , huh ? nikolas : all i need is just one more block . one more , and i 'm in , and michael 's out . [ scene_break ] sabrina : so , wait , i thought you had a plan in place to start reassembling those lost elq shares . michael : [ sighs ] i did . uh , so far , no go , at least not with franco 's voting stock , anyway . sabrina : well , i ca n't say that i 'm surprised , because franco does n't exactly strike me as the type of person to listen to reason or even be swayed by money . michael : i agree , which is why i tried to bypass him altogether . sabrina : how does that work ? michael : i did n't go to franco . i sent rosalie to nina instead . [ scene_break ] maxie : just so we 're on the same page , any franco - related plot , no matter how [ scoffs ] well - intended , is doomed to fail . [ sighs ] you should have enlisted silas 's help instead . nathan : silas -- her -- nina 's ex that cheated on her and had a kid with another woman . maxie : but is so guilt - ridden over the situation and feels so bad he probably would have helped ? i 'm just saying , he 's got to be more trustworthy than franco . [ scene_break ] silas : denise is a big girl . i 'm sure she can handle whatever trouble she gets herself into . kiki : you 're probably right . i guess i should get back there and see if morgan 's heard anything . silas : okay . kiki : um , you gon na stick around for a while ? silas : for a little while , yeah . kiki : well ... silas : yes , kiki ? kiki : i do n't know , just ... maybe stick to yourself , you know ? silas : you telling me not to talk to nina ? kiki : i do n't care what the doctors say , okay ? that woman has a crazy streak . we still do n't know . she could have been the one that took avery from the hospital . silas : i promise to take care of myself . kiki : good . silas : as long as you do the same . kiki : what ? around morgan ? silas : and denise . kiki : oh , she 's a little out there , but , i mean , she 's harmless . silas : i 'm not saying she is n't . i 'm just saying you do n't know her very well . i just do n't want to see you get hurt . kiki : back at you . ohh . thank you for looking out for me . silas : i 'm always in your corner . kiki : [ chuckles ] i know . i do n't know , dad . i just -- i have this really great feeling about denise .

[ chuckles ] so , where were we ? well , where are you going ? morgan : sorry , i - i ca n't . i ca n't . ava : why not ? morgan : i - i , um -- i should n't have kissed you in the first place . it 's just you were upset , and you look freakishly like ava and i just hate seeing her -- i -- you in pain , so i got carried away . i 'm sorry . ava : well , you 're talking like that 's a bad thing . it 's not . i was enjoying myself , if you did n't notice , immensely . morgan : me , too . but , uh , ca n't be -- ava : okay , so , it 's okay , then . do n't -- do n't beat yourself up for it , huh ? morgan : it 's -- mm . you know what , i -- there is a reason i need to beat myself up for it . i need you to do me a favor , please . you can not breathe a word of this to anyone , okay ? especially kiki . ava : well , why would kiki care ? [ door opens ] [ scene_break ] nathan : well , thank you for that advice on enlisting silas with the whole nina situation . we 'll file that away for future reference . maxie : so , in other words , thanks for nothing . nathan : i did n't say that . maxie : pretty much . you know , if you 're so brilliant , mr. smartypants ... nathan : i like it when you call me `` smartypants . `` maxie : ... how come your scheme did n't work , hmm ? nathan : okay , first off , not my scheme . franco 's scheme . maxie : strike one . nathan : i was just going along with it . maxie : strike two . nathan : well , strike three , and i 'm out . maxie : quit stalling and tell me what that nut job came up with . nathan : [ sighs ] okay . franco comes to me and confesses that he knows that nina 's kidnapped avery -- or aj , or whatever they 're calling her . maxie : even though you both know that she did n't do it . nathan : so i brought her in . maxie : in where ? nathan : to the pcpd . to an interrogation room . i - i - i just -- i asked her to sign some annulment papers . maxie : or else ? nathan : or i was gon na arrest her ? maxie : for a crime she did n't commit ? nathan : strike three ? maxie : oh , you are totally out . [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] silas : give me another pilsner when you get a chance . thanks . nina : what happened to kiki ? silas : she went looking for her aunt . nina : another ava jerome . [ scoffs ] wait , she 's her twin or something ? silas : or something . nina : ay . well , let 's hope the similarities are only skin - deep . i have enough negativity in my life right now . silas : uh - oh . nina : yeah . uh - oh . the next person who rubs me the wrong way is gon na get their head bitten off . silas : hey , franco . come on over and say hi . we were just talking about you . franco : oh , yeah ? did she tell you how her brother and i tried to save her from certain death by marriage ? nina : oh , yeah , they 're an actual batman and robin trying to pin a kidnapping on me . maybe next time , i 'll be lucky and i 'll be murdered . franco : yeah , well , who knows ? it 's a possibility , right ? i 'm trying to keep all of my options open . i 'll tell you what -- i 'll stay out of your hair for now . nina : thank god . franco : provided you hand over my shares of elq . [ scene_break ] sabrina : you had rosalie help you with those shares ? michael : yeah , it was the -- the best move that i had . and i could n't approach franco directly , given what happened with my mom . he would have just screwed with me for no other reason but to stick it to her , so i chose to go at it from a different angle . sabrina : through nina . michael : yeah . sabrina : so , then , why did n't you just sit down with her yourself ? michael : well , i do n't know her . i do n't know nina at all . and rosalie does , and i thought some connection would be better than no connection . but obviously , i was wrong , because nina did n't take the deal . sabrina : no , you might want to consider sending someone other than rosalie to be your go - between next time . michael : are you offering ? sabrina : [ laughs ] no . michael : you -- you really do n't think rosalie 's on the up and up , do you ? sabrina : do you ? michael : i gave her a briefcase full of cash , and she returned it to me without a dollar missing . and she 's been a big help at elq , so , yeah , i trust her . sabrina : well , i 'm glad one of us does . [ scene_break ] rosalie : okay , so , who else is left with shares to target ? nikolas : ned 's daughter brook lynn and their cousin maya . each wield 6.5 % . rosalie : okay , but that would only do you so much good , because then you 'd be locked in a 50 - 50 with michael . nikolas : right , which means we would need lucy coe 's tie - breaker vote to get anything done . she 's too fickle to be trusted . rosalie : yeah . she does seem like a bit of a character . there 's no one else ? nikolas : well , i could bypass lucy coe altogether if i could get my hands on dillon quartermaine 's stock . [ scene_break ] luke : you do n't have to do this . laura : no , if i were in tracy 's position , i would want an explanation . tracy : by all means , enlighten me . laura : when i left port charles a couple of years ago , i believed that luke and i had found some closure and that we had put our relationship in the past . but then i got a call from lulu , and she told me about luke 's parents and about how they died , and i was heartbroken for luke . in fact , i sat there , you know , just for hours until it became dark . and then in the dark , i kept replaying my relationship with luke . little moments that never quite made any sense to me , times when i -- felt like a total stranger to me . and then i remember , when i got angry , he used to tell me that he felt like he was in prison in our house . and then it hit me . he was n't talking about our house . he was talking about the house that he grew up in . so , that secret that was there was between us all the time . and the secret is gone now . and , i 'm sorry , but my closure is , too . i - i do n't think of him anymore as someone from my past . i really do want to know who he is now . dillon : what about you , luke ? what do you want ? tracy : oh , do you even have to ask ? she threw herself at you , and you caught her ! luke : yes . i took laura back . i wish you could understand , but i know you ca n't . i did not want this to happen . as far as i was concerned , my life with laura was over . i never sat around yearning or wondering what might have been . that chapter of my life was over . dillon : if that 's true , then what the hell is this , luke ? you 're leaving my mother for what ? luke : love . [ scene_break ] kiki : denise , you 're here . i just went looking for you at the floating rib . ava : oh , yeah , morgan was telling me . i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . i - i left my phone . kiki : is everything okay ? ava : yeah . i just had something to do , and -- and -- and i lost track of time . it 's my fault . i 'm so sorry i missed dinner . morgan : yeah , denise -- she actually came back right after you left . i was gon na call you . ava : yes , but he was busy babysitting me . you see , i 've had a little bit of a rough time of it . kiki : so , everything 's not okay . what -- what happened ? morgan : well , denise went to see avery . ava : yeah , and something about seeing that little face of that baby and holding her -- it just struck me right through the heart . kiki : yeah . i 've been there . although , i wish i could say recently . michael let you in ? ava : yeah , he was real sweet about it . he even let the baby stay up past her bedtime . morgan : yeah , i think after our thaw at the gym the other day , michael might be mellowing out a little bit . so hopefully we can go see her soon . hopefully he 'll let us . kiki : it 's possible . i mean , look at the way he reacted to the news that we 're officially together , right ? ava : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . back up . wait . you two are together ? [ scene_break ] maxie : i have been witness to and perpetrator of a lot of shenanigans in my life . but throwing your own sister in the clink to extort an annulment out of her ? bravo , my friend . nathan : hey , in my defense , nina never got anywhere near a cell . maxie : no , no , no . just the interrogation room , which is so much better . nathan : could you maybe try and enjoy this a little less ? maxie : i ca n't help it . good - doer boy in blue nathan west can get down in the dirt with the rest of us . nathan : okay , again , not my idea . franco 's idea . maxie : and you just went along with it . nathan : yeah , but only for , like , a while . look , i was never gon na arrest my sister . maxie : [ scoffs ] nathan : i just wanted to scare her , okay , to get her away from ric . maxie : but she called your bluff . nathan : yeah , and now i 'm worried she 's gon na hate me for the rest of her life . maxie : just give nina some time to cool off . she 'll get over it . nathan : it 's not exactly her strong suit . maxie : trust me , she 'll be doting on you again in no time . nathan : [ sighs ] how can you be so sure ? maxie : who could stay mad at this face ? i know i ca n't .

[ scene_break ] sonny : how did you feel when you were fired from couture ? kate : i was devastated . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : i was more than devastated , i felt hollow . i felt like my identity had been completely stripped , and i know that 's shallow . sonny : why ? kate : because , sonny -- because our jobs should n't identify us any more than our cars . sonny : you -- you earned it . nobody handed it to you . you -- you set a goal and you achieved it . if that -- if that does n't , you know , define who you are , what -- what does ? kate : all right , then i guess i 'm not really in a position to judge , right ? sonny : no , i guess not . kate : because what did i do ? sonny : what ? kate : i went out and started a magazine . sonny : oh , okay . kate : i guess that sums up my personal self - awareness , right ? sonny : right . kate : i liked it . i liked the power . i liked walking into a room knowing i commanded that kind of respect . sonny : you mean fear . and when it was gone , you missed it . kate : yeah . sonny : right , and you were n't quite sure who you were without it . kate : yeah , but sonny , it 's not the same thing . sonny : it is the same thing . kate : no , it 's not . my career choices never cost me someone i love . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . jax : hey . carly : i just came from seeing mac about michael 's shooting . jax : is there anymore news ? carly : the case is closed . i 'm surprised alexis did n't tell you . she had to sign off on it . alexis : carly , mac and his men have taken the evidence as far as it can go . i had to sign off on the case , but i will never , ever give up on it . and i am hoping that at some point some good will come out of this . carly : my son 's in a permanent coma . alexis : but morgan is safe . you 're keeping morgan safe . you 're doing the right thing . jax : you know , alexis and i were just discussing the fact that sonny has an obligation to protect all his children . perhaps you could appeal to him to act in kristina 's best interests as well . carly : sonny did n't give up morgan out of the goodness of his heart . jan agreed to take over the business so sonny can just walk away from the mess . the price he paid was giving up michael and morgan . alexis : so you 're suggesting that i appeal to jason ? carly : no , he does n't have anything left to trade , alexis . alexis : carly , you can help me . i know you can , because you 're the only one that can convince him -- carly : i 'm not married to sonny anymore . alexis : it does n't matter . jax : alexis -- carly : he hates me , okay ? alexis : carly , please , i 'm asking you to help me . i 'll get down on my knees if you want me to . carly : i 'm sorry , alexis . alexis : she 's not going to help . nobody 's going to help . he -- he wins . he -- he said that she 's only keeping morgan away because she wants to punish him , but he 's going to get what he wants . so if i were you , i 'd be a little concerned , because if he wants her back , he 'll get her and then they 'll get morgan and then they 'll put him -- jax : alexis , please , stop . alexis : in the line of fire . i 'm not letting this happen to kristina . carly : get out . alexis : i will not let it happen . i 'm going to keep her out of this sick , twisted mess one way or the other . [ scene_break ] sonny : all right , you 're right . the respect , the power , they 're -- they were all a part of me , and i 'm not sure who i am without that . kate : but you can be the same man . sonny : yes -- kate : you can command the same amount of respect . look at jax . look at nikolas cassadine . sonny : jax was rich before , you know , before he turned 18 and nikolas was born to it . so , i mean , they 're both members of the club -- kate : yeah , right , and they 're both envious of you . oh , they 'd rather cut their tongues out than admit it , sonny . you did n't have a trust fund to fall back on . sonny : no . kate : you made everything that you have . do you want to know the dirty little secret about that club ? nobody cares where the money comes from . sonny : well , that 's a bit cynical . kate : they 're my people . apparently , all i aspire to be . sonny : be careful what you wish for . kate : look , the coffee business was just supposed to be a front , right ? sonny : right . kate : but you used to joke about how well it was doing , how it could be your main source of income . well , this is your chance to see if that can happen . sonny : i know this transition is not going to be easy . when mike got roughed up by that loan shark , my -- my instinct kicked in . you know what i wanted to do ? i wanted -- i wanted to beat that guy down -- kate : okay , i -- i am -- i am not fooling myself about this transition either , sonny . but you need to remember why you walked away from the violence , why you walked away from the mob . sonny : all right . you 've given me something to think about . kate : well , here 's one more thing to think about . sonny : hey , i 'll see you , okay ?

[ alexis scoffs ] alexis : so it 's okay with you that she lives in -- in a constant threat of violence ? kate : no , it 's not . he signed over his entire criminal operation to jason . he 's a legitimate coffee importer now . alexis : do you honestly believe that ? kate : alexis , what i believe is that sonny loves his children . what i believe is that he 's willing to do anything for them , including remaking his life . he signed everything away . alexis : kate , do you honestly think a piece of paper is going to stop sonny from getting back what he wants ? kate : what do you mean ? alexis : i mean that it 's just some sick and twisted dance that carly and sonny do . it 's only a matter of time before they get back together . kate : oh , well , alexis , i think you underestimate him . i think you underestimate me . alexis : well , i did n't mean that . i 'm sorry , i did n't . i 'm just under a lot of pressure . there 's a window of opportunity here where sonny is still feeling some remorse about what happened , and i know that he 'll get morgan back , but there 's still a chance to save kristina if you would agree to help . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , i feel sorry for alexis . i really do . and i can see why she wants to get kristina away from sonny , but there 's nothing i can do about it . sonny 's not going to listen to me . jax : yes , and alexis is my friend the same way that jason is your friend . but kristina , she 's been left unprotected while morgan is now safe , and that 's just not fair . carly : i ca n't force sonny to give up his daughter . it 's not my problem . jax : but you might be able to persuade him . look , i 'm asking you to try , not as a favor to me , but as a favor from one mother to another . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey , listen , can you call me as soon as you can , please ? because i need to talk to you about something , okay , bernie ? thank you very much . diane : hmm , it was my understanding that mr. abrams was now working exclusively for jason . sonny : yeah , well , diane , your understanding is not really required , unless it 's for legal matters . diane : very well . your copies , fully executed -- sonny : right . diane : of the order of custodial renunciation . you no longer have any legal rights or obligations to michael or morgan . sonny : okay , thank you . diane : they 're copies , sonny . sonny : yeah . diane : destroying them may give you some sense of satisfaction , but it 's not going to change the legal realties . sonny : you think a piece of paper makes something real , diane ? diane : okay , i should warn you that if you have changed your mind and you now want michael and morgan back , you 're going to have to find yourself a new attorney . sonny : why is that ? because jason wants carly to take my kids and -- and is now running things ? [ scene_break ] mayor floyd : this city has more mobsters than rats in a landfill , and your big bust tonight is nikolas cassadine ? take those handcuffs off please . mac : what 's the charge ? officer : solicitation . nadine : there 's been a misunderstanding . mayor floyd : i 'll say there has . this man is the single biggest taxpayer in port charles . he generates millions for the local economy . mac : so the law does n't apply ? nadine : look , it 's my fault , okay ? i talked him into it . nikolas : there 's no use saying anything until the attorney gets here . nadine : why not ? they have nothing officer : because there 's a prostitution ring being run out of that building . we 've been staking it out for weeks . nadine : we did n't have sex . officer : they were rolling around on the floor . nadine : because i fell , okay ? will you just explain ? nikolas : because it 's a waste of time . mayor floyd : oh , great . this genius has visions of eliot spitzer dancing around in his head . mac : look , uh , just take a seat . leyla : you have no right to treat him this way . he 's completely innocent . officer : he punched a guy in the face . leyla : yeah , you should be giving him a medal . [ scene_break ] claudia : so we each have our own bedroom and we do n't have to share a bathroom , which is good because i 'm a very messy girl , john , very . johnny : it 's a good space . claudia : yeah , and it will be a lot better than living with daddy and wondering if he poured arsenic in my coffee on any given morning . johnny : i 'm not going to let him hurt you . claudia : thank you . what about lulu ? johnny : what about her ? claudia : come on , she was awful to me , john . johnny : you were n't exactly innocent , claudia . claudia : of course not , but i 'm the only one who 's looking out for you . johnny : lulu and i are going to be together and you have to respect that . i ask the same thing of her , okay ? that she respect you and understand that at the end of the day , you 're the only family i 've got . claudia : come here . i can live with that , roomie . johnny : all right . [ scene_break ] diane : the only thing in my mind is representing you to the best of my ability . sonny : even though jason , your other client , had competing interests ? diane : i went over the terms meticulously with you , sonny . sonny : yeah , you -- diane : i would never have allowed you to go forward with this decision -- and make no mistake , this was your decision , sonny . nobody forced you to do this . i would not have allowed you to sign away your parental rights to those boys if you had not understood that the decision was irrevocable . sonny : okay , what if i -- what i know now is different ? diane : then you put me in an untenable position -- not only professionally , but personally . because i happen to think that you made the right decision , that morgan is safer away from you . i 'm sorry . sonny : no , that 's okay , diane . you know , you feel what you feel . so how 's jason ? is he doing good with the business ? diane : well , from what i understand , the transition has been relatively smooth . sonny : yeah ? diane : certainly there are no legal problems so far . bernie indicates that jason has managed to reassure the south american associates . all in all , i would say it is going far better than expected . if you 're worried that you 've left jason with too much to handle , it 's not the case , so just relax . enjoy your new life . [ scene_break ] jax : alexis is scared for her daughter 's life . she was talking out of fear . carly : she was trashing our marriage because i said i could n't help her . jax : come on , carly , give me some credit . i 'm not sitting around here waiting for the other shoe to drop , for you to go running back to sonny . alexis was out of line . carly : thank you . jax : the way she treated you , but not what she was asking . it does n't make sense that sonny would protect morgan and not his daughter , and you 're the only one who can make him see that . carly : hey , what about kate , you know , the new love of his life ? jax : the two of you share two children together . i hate to admit it , but you still have a lot more influence over sonny than you know . carly : okay , fine , i 'll go talk to him . you know , i 'm doing it for you , and i 'm doing it for kristina . [ scene_break ] lulu : i do n't care if you have to throw yourself under the wheels of that plane to keep it from taking off , make sure my package is on it . maxie : i would be really upset , too , if my boyfriend bailed on me with that lame excuse -- had to go look at an apartment . lulu : his house burned down . my whole filing system is out of order . why ca n't you just stay away from my desk ? maxie : because you only show up to work when you feel like it , and i am getting kind of sick of covering for you . why do you even bother ? lulu : because i 'm starting to think it 's pretty cool . and i especially like the fact that it means so much to you now that your future is tied to me . so every time that you hit on johnny , i guess i 'll just have to work a little bit harder to make sure your dream is crushed .

[ laughs ] you 're probably wondering how a con man gets his pocket picked by a child . kristina : you 're hung over . ethan : no , i 'm in insulin shock thanks to all those god - awful umbrella drinks . but that 's beside the point . even at my worst , i should be able to spot a kid running a scam . i was that kid . kristina : what do you mean ? ethan : well , after my parents died , i spent a lot of time bumming around the western coast of australia . they get a lot of tourists there , right ? and you can always spot the easy mark . it 's who had the most to drink , or who 's having the most fun . you just flash something pretty in one hand and pick their pocket with the other . kristina : were n't you worried about getting caught ? ethan : no . what was the worst that would happen to me ? i might get thrown in jail for a night , or i get a record ? it 's not like you . i never had any shot of going to a nice school or becoming an upstanding member of society . kristina : must be nice -- no pressure , no expectations , free to just live your life . ethan : yeah . truthfully , it was lonely . then , i came here , came to port charles , and found luke , and i got a whole slew of siblings and nephews . and even watching luke go through everything he did , you know , it was good to have him around till he took off . but hey , that seems to be a theme to me , does n't it ? i mean , maya went screaming for the hills . not even a half a million dollars could keep her around . kristina : maya was a fool . ethan : no . maya was just following her heart . there 's no shame in that . kristina : you know what my heart 's telling me ? you let that boy pick your pocket . ethan : you think i like paying $ 200 for flowers ? kristina : i think you wanted to save face . you knew you could n't beat me at paddle boarding , so you got robbed to avoid the race . ethan : oh , come on . be glad that i had quick hands , or you 'd be the one racing through the lobby showing your tan lines . kristina : only one way to find out . i 've got just enough money for the paddle board rental . ethan : we 've got to save that . the judge only takes cash , all right , so we either use it for my divorce , or i 'll have to get together a card game and steal back what was stolen from me . it could take a while . kristina : well , i would n't mind staying an extra day . ethan : [ chuckles ] yeah . your mom 's not going to buy the staying at a friend 's excuse for any longer . so we got to get changed , get my divorce , and get you home before alexis tips off sonny , and he runs down here and kills me . kristina : you 'll hide behind any excuse , wo n't you ? oh . is that a concession ? ethan : i do n't give up that easily . kristina : neither do i . [ scene_break ] lucky : lulu tried telling me that an intervention was a bad idea . i could have listened . i knew my dad would react to being backed into a corner . i just handled it all wrong . siobhan : you had just lost your son . you had your own grief to deal with . if anything luke should have been trying to help you . lucky : but he ca n't , and he knew it . i mean , no one can . not that i do n't appreciate all that you 've done . siobhan : oh , it 's not about me . lucky : it 's just the thing is , right now , dad is carrying so much guilt over what happened with jake , and all i did was add fuel to the fire by cramming the 12 steps down his throat . so if i start to do that , will you please just kick me something ? siobhan : you know , i do n't think luke 's going to be real receptive if he feels like he 's being ganged up on . lucky : right . siobhan : so i think the best thing would be for you to go speak to him alone . lucky : but you 've come all this way . siobhan : to support you . i 'll be here when you get back . lucky : ok . siobhan : do you have any idea what you 're going to say to your dad when you find him ? lucky : all can do is love him , flaws and all . that 's what i plan to do . [ scene_break ] maxie : guard this with your life . dante : what 's this ? maxie : my ultimate sacrifice to lulu 's sanity . look , i had to throw kate 's name around and pretty much sell my soul , so you better appreciate it . dante : wait a minute . you booked us a trip ? maxie : it 's not just any trip . it 's two first - class tickets to france , a three - night stay in a wonderful hotel , followed by a weekend at a friend 's farmhouse with a private vineyard , all the wine you can drink . dante : wow . maxie , i ca n't believe you did this for us . maxie : i did n't do it for you guys . i did it for matt as a surprise , and it took a lot to keep it from him . look , if kate found out that i used the company 's resources to book this trip , i would probably get fired . but lulu 's sanity is more important . dante : huh . you know , you 're a good friend . maxie : there 's a catch . dante : oh , let me guess . you want me to convince lulu to come back and work here . maxie : which will probably be a lot easier when you 're in france , and she 's completely loaded up on wine . so i suggest you take her to the airport before lulu can cause any more damage . [ telephone rings ] maxie : have fun , you two . kate howard 's office . [ scene_break ] lulu : you gave up jake so he 'd be safe and have a better life and a future outside the mob . and my dad took that way from you , along with any chance you could have of knowing your son . you should be upset . but killing my dad is not going to make things better for you . jason : luke keeps coming at me , getting in my face , telling me i have no right to grieve for jake because i was n't his father . lulu : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . that 's not -- that 's his grief talking . he feels like he does n't deserve to be in pain when he 's caused so much for everyone else . but the truth , he is . that 's why took off . i 'm not expecting you to forgive him . i 'm just asking you not to go after him . my entire family has been hurting enough , especially my dad and lucky . jason : i 'm not going to hurt luke . lulu : thank you . jason : do n't . 'cause i 'm not doing it for you , or for lucky . i want luke to suffer . i want him to wake up every morning and think about what he did and relive it every day , just like i do . [ scene_break ] kristina : you think we 'll have enough money left over to buy a vase ? ethan : maybe a bottle of water , but you ca n't take it on the plane . hello ? judge : i 'll be with you in a minute . ethan : we 're kind of in a hurry here . judge : my morning session ran long . i just need to get oriented . ethan : ahh . that 's why we could n't get a morning appointment , then . you were out surfing . why did n't you call us ? come on ? [ laughs ] judge : it 's the perk of island life that things move at a slower pace . maybe if you two had done the same , you would n't have rushed to get married and be looking to end it . kristina : i 'm not his wife . judge : that would explain the divorce . ethan : [ laughs ] no , it 's not like that , either . kristina : yeah . i 'm just he for moral support . ethan : and maybe as a witness , in case i need one . but can we hurry this along ? 'cause we got a plane to catch . judge : things may be more relaxed here , but we still have rules to follow . no shoes , no service . you have to wait outside until i finish getting dressed . ethan : unbelievable . [ laughs ] judge : relax . it 's not like lives are hanging in the balance . ethan : yeah . do n't bet on that one . [ scene_break ] sonny : we 'll be on the ground in a little while . alexis : i do n't want to go door to door looking for ethan and kristina . there 's got to be a gazillion places anybody could get married there . sonny : i called in a favor to a business associate , and as soon as we get there , he 's going to give me the information that is needed . alexis : as long as he does n't have ethan 's head in a bag . do n't you dare sic your associates on ethan . sonny : you know i would do whatever it takes to protect our daughter . alexis : i 'm sure luke feels the same way about his son . sonny : ethan crossed a line . alexis : says the man who does that for a living . sonny : ethan is an adult . kristina is a young , impressionable kid . he had no business bringing her down here , especially marrying her . he will have to answer for that . [ scene_break ] brenda : this dock brings back so many memories . robin : i know , right ? remember we used to sit here and talk about what our futures would be like . [ brenda laughs ] robin : yeah . it 's a little bit different . [ car muffler sputters ] [ brenda screams ] robin : hey . brenda : wow . i just -- i just thought someone was shooting at us . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] jason : yeah . just so you know , dante came by asking questions about two warehouses that were burned down last night . they belonged to the zaccharas . well , i did n't say anything , diane . i 'm pretty good at that . just expect a call , ok ? [ knock on door ] jason : yeah ? no . come in . i got to go . maxie : hey . um , i know you 're busy . i 'm just going to get straight to the point . it 's possible that without intending to , i might have added to your grief , and for that , i 'm really sorry . and i actually mean that . i know i 've said that before -- not that i did n't mean -- jason : maxie , i have no idea what you 're even talking about . maxie : has lulu been by here ? jason : yeah . she just left . maxie : and did the subject of her father and how he 's blameless in jake 's death and you should probably leave him alone happen to come up ? jason : yeah . but you 're not responsible for how lulu feels , so . maxie : except in this case , i think i am . i was trying to talk me sense into luke , an you know that i do n't have a filter , which some people find refreshing , but others , they tend to misinterpret what i 'm really trying to say . jason : can you just say it , then ? maxie : i told lulu that it would be a bad idea for luke to come back to port charles because you would probably try to kill him . lulu completely freaked out . i should have figured she would run straight to you , which is not fair of her -- or me . you 're probably still hurting . [ scene_break ] dante : ahh . just . woman i wanted to see . lulu : hey . dante : hi . lulu : mwah . so , do you think that i should get two crates of shot glasses ? i 'm not sure , because my dad did n't really leave the inventory intact . so maybe i should do three to be safe . what do you think ? dante : i do n't know . i do n't care . i do n't think you 're going to care , either . lulu : i have to care . dante : have i ever told you just how much i like maxie ? she 's easily one of my favorite friends of yours . lulu : you call her ditzy . dante : yeah , 'cause she is ditzy , but it 's part of her charm . it makes her very difficult to say no to lulu : what 'd she con you into ? dante : she does n't come across that way , but she 's a really caring person . lulu : are you high ? dante : as a kite . how about two first - class tickets for you and me to france ? lulu : what ? dante : courtesy of maxie and her magical contacts . we 're going to live the life of the rich and famous for two weeks . lulu : are you serious ? dante : yeah , definitely . well , i mean , unless you 'd rather do the grand canyon thing . lulu : oh . france would be amazing . dante : no , no , no . will be . this is all arranged . all you have to do is pack . what is that ? lulu : i ca n't . [ scene_break ] alexis : ok . we 're going in , we 're going to grab her , and we 're going out . mobster stuff . i do n't have time for that . sonny : maybe you should just go back to the car . alexis : maybe you should just go back to the car . sonny : oh , please . ethan : yeah , i do . alexis : she does n't . kristina : mom , dad , what are you doing here ? alexis : you 're in so much trouble . we are stopping these proceedings right now . kristina : mom , you ca n't . it 's done . alexis : yes . this judge is obligated to hear a rational argument why you ca n't do what you 're about to do . ethan : wait . why would you see a problem with me divorcing maya ? [ scene_break ] robin : it 's ok . there 's no one shooting at us . i think it was a car backfiring or something . brenda : yeah . i know . can you just do me a favor and pretend like you just did n't experience that massive overreaction ? robin : yeah . i do n't know what you 're talking about . have a sip . no , it 's understandable that you 're jumpy . i mean , you and alec just walked in on a dead body in the office . brenda : oh , my gosh . robin : at least it does n't happen every day . brenda : what ? [ robin laughs ] brenda : what are you saying ? who has conversations like this ? robin : mob wives ? doctors ' wives who have mobsters as friends ? brenda : oh , my gosh . look . i mean , the truth is that it very easily could have been someone shooting at us , right ? i mean , i am a huge target because i 'm sonny 's wife . robin : and being a part of his life will be a huge adjustment . just give it time . you 'll figure it out . brenda : no . i 'm used to this lifestyle , remember ? i was involved in things like this even when i was n't with sonny . but i have a boy now , you know ? i have alec . and i have to think about him . jax thinks that i 'm now putting alec 's life in danger just by having him live under sonny roof . robin : ok . but jax is not objective . brenda : that does make sense , right ? you think i 'm a bad mom for being with sonny ? [ scene_break ] maxie : i know that you 're thinking i ca n't possibly understand what you 're feeling . it 's not like you show that much emotion . i mean , you could be completely dying inside right now , you know , using everything you 've got just to hold it together until i leave . or maybe you 're numb . i do n't know . i know i ca n't know because i 've never really lost a child . everyone keeps focusing on the fact that luke was the driver , which seems to overshadow the fact this little boy lost his life . and i understand that , because that 's kind of what happened with georgie . you know , it became about the investigation when she died , the mystery . jason : you do n't have to do this , maxie . maxie : that 's your nice way of telling me to shut up , is n't it ? ok , i will . i just want you to know that i understand , or at least i feel like i understand . so if you ever need anyone to talk to ... jason : thank you . maxie : you mean that , right ? jason : yeah , i do . [ scene_break ] dante : ok , look . i 'm obviously not doing this trip any justice , ok ? the house we 're going to be staying at is 500 years old . we get a hay loft . think about how much fun we could have in a hay loft with a bottle of wine , or a few bottles of wine . lulu : dante ... dante : come on . it 's paris . it 's the city of love . maxie got us in this swanky hotel . complimentary champagne and robes . i mean , you wake up in the morning , you go down to the street , and you have breakfast in a cafe . you order all in french . lulu : i do n't speak french . dante : does n't matter . you 're gorgeous . every waiter 's going to be hooked on your every butchered word . come on . let 's do this . lulu : i want to do this . i want to do this . you have no idea . and i promise that we 're going to do something very , very soon . i just feel like i need to spend some time with my dad first . i 'm sorry .

britt : just because you and i do n't like each other does n't mean i 'm not a perfectly normal human being . felix : that 's right . the fact that i ca n't say anything good about you is irrelevant . that no one can say anything good about you is the point . britt : you do n't know me . felix : okay . let 's get up close and personal , britt . why ca n't you let sabrina and patrick be happy ? olivia : are n't they adorable ? sweet young couple who only have eyes for each other . your table , dr. drake , just as you requested . patrick : thank you very much . sabrina : this is lovely . thank you . patrick : you 're welcome . there you go . sabrina : you realize this is our first date , right ? if you do n't count the nurses ' ball . patrick : well , it is worth the wait . sabrina : [ chuckles ] olivia : do you remember the last time you felt like that ? connie : yeah . when i was with sonny .

'cause as the whole world knows , every gay man has perfect taste . felix : okay , girl , you went from insulting sabrina to patrick to me in 5 seconds flat . britt : your point is ? felix : you 're a britch . britt : okay , you keep calling me that , but what does it mean ? felix : britt plus bitch equals britch . britt : [ scoffs ] sabrina : why , dr. drake , how extravagant .

[ glasses clink ] dante : salud . it 's crazy . you know , when i left the haunted star , i did n't know what was gon na happen next . sonny : you know , i was gon na go after you , but things got complicated after you left . dante : yeah . i heard franco showed up , alive . carly : on the video , you said you would be watching over josslyn . was n't a direct threat , but we all know what you meant , and i was scared to death . franco : mm . i 'm sorry for that . the only way i could think to frighten jason was to frighten you , but ... i would never have hurt josslyn . carly : just like you never hurt michael . franco : done a lot of really stupid things in my life , but ... you know , at the time , they always seem like the right thing to do . to lose ... some project ... this is my work . oh . never mind . i ca n't explain my art to myself . how am i gon na explain it to you ? all i can do is tell you that i 'm sorry . carly : prove it . if you 're looking for help relieving heartburn , franco : you know , when i came back to this town , i made myself vulnerable to arrest . i think that that would do something to gain trust in this town , but so far , the only person that trusts me is my new best friend , the district attorney . carly : that 's because the d.a . does n't know you . franco : you do n't know me . carly : i know what you 've done . i know you 're a violent and uncaring man . franco : that 's entirely inaccurate . if anything , i care too much . carly : i do n't know why you 're here , but i want you to stay away from my children . franco : okay . no problem . carly : i do n't trust you . franco : okay . what do i have to do to gain your trust ? carly : why do n't you leave town and never come back ? franco : well , i think that would be a great disappointment to my new best friend , the district attorney . carly : okay . see , you 're playing games here . you just like to wind us up like that stupid toy -- franco : games i do , but i 'm not -- all i 'm trying to do right now is demonstrate to you that i have a terrific sense of humor . carly : okay . but nothing 's funny here . i have n't slept a night . i 'm afraid you 're gon na break in to my house , like you did the night i walked in to josslyn 's nursery and you were standing there holding her . that 's what i 'm afraid of . franco : carly ... [ clears throat ] ... i was trying to figure out what it would feel like ... the experience of holding my daughter . carly : you were trying to terrorize me . franco : no . you asked me to put her down . i put her down . you said you would be my hostage , and that was great , because i needed leverage . but i would never have used josslyn . here -- take this . carly : i do n't want it . so , all this time , we were harmless , and we just never knew , huh ? franco : carly , i 'm not harmless , but i 'd never hurt your children . take it . carly : i do n't want it . franco : is it me , or is this conversation just circular at this point ? carly : it does n't matter because we 're talking about my family , and i -- i need reassurance . franco : fine . anything for you , carly . really , anything you need . carly : you make me believe that you 're for real ... that you 're really trying to make amends ... that you 're not gon na hurt any of us . franco : when do you need a list of my reassurances ? carly : right now . dante : i heard franco put on a real show at the haunted star . sonny : he wants us to know that he 's a changed man . dante : oh , really ? and innocent , no doubt . he had a recording his meeting with carly and the convict who raped michael . dante : yeah , no , i saw that . he left that for me and jason to find at the museum where he did his performance - art piece . sonny : that was something that was staged for jason . what you did n't see was him telling carter not to touch michael and protect him . dante : what , so he points a rapist in michael 's direction , and then says , `` wait a second . do n't hurt the kid . protect him , `` and then he considers himself blameless ? sonny : i do n't know what franco thinks . i do n't care . dante : you know what ? we all played a part in sending michael to pentonville -- you and jason for covering up claudia 's death , carly for lying on the stand , me for waltzing in to the courtroom and playing god and pointing out michael as the killer , thinking he was gon na get justice and get a suspended sentence . but franco put michael in carter 's sights . and i do n't care -- no amount of made - up excuses is gon na change that . sonny : michael would n't have been anywhere near carter if it was n't for the cover - up . i conspired with carly to take the blame off michael . we let our emotions get in the way , we took the legal system into our hands , and we lived to regret it . laura : so , what were you saying about the wedding ? lulu : well , the ceremony , it triggered something . i started getting all of these memories -- bad ones . luckily , dante came after me . he could tell that i was scared , that something had happened , and ... i tried to push him away , but he just hung in there . until i broke through . laura : that 's love . olivia : steve used to make me feel that way . connie : you really miss him , huh ? olivia : i do . yeah , but he made his choice , and ... now i just got to accept it , whether i like it or not . connie : you ever see yourself moving on with anyone else anytime soon ? can you imagine falling in love again ? patrick : you know , honestly , i have n't given you a lot to laugh about lately . i just want to say that you 've been amazing . seriously , you 've been sweet and kind , and ... you love my daughter , and she loves you , and i feel very lucky for that . sabrina : well , you are . patrick : mm . see ? and you make me laugh . and not only do you move my ex- girlfriend in , who is pregnant , but you take care of us , so i do n't know if that makes you a masochist or just the most wonderful woman in the world ? sabrina : i think that truly caring about someone means you 're willing to get through the tough parts together . britt : just because you do n't agree with my assessment of sabrina 's fashion sense , or yours , does n't mean that i 'm a britch -- i mean , a bitch . i 'm a very caring person . felix : yeah ? says who ? nobody . you 're the least caring person i 've ever met . why you became a doctor is beyond me . britt : i was top of my class . felix : i 'm not saying you 're not educated . i 'm saying you lack empathy . you 're uncaring . britt : that is not true . felix : yeah ? nurses take bribes to stay off your service . you do n't have one single friend . and little kids -- they hate you . face it -- you 're a bitch . the only question is , why ? who made you this way ? britt : my mother ! felix : you have a mother ? i figured you were hatched from dragons ' eggs or a spawn , like spores from a poisonous mushroom . britt : oh , i have a mother -- the mother of all mothers . felix : what 's so bad about her ? britt : well , for starters , she 's kind of a mad scientist , she holds people against their will , and performs experimental procedures on them . felix : be serious . britt : i am . and i have n't even begun to talk about my father . felix : oh , let me guess -- he 's an ax murderer . britt : he has people for that . daddy 's a deranged criminal on global scale . felix : so your childhood is a combination of `` rocky horror `` and `` austin powers . `` britt : only not funny -- in any way . felix : huh . well , of course , you 're exaggerating , but i think i get the point -- it 's not your fault that you 're a bitch . britt : i do n't expect you to understand . i 'm sure you have a perfectly adorable set of parents who dote on your every clever word , kept your artwork on the fridge , patted you on head , and constantly told you how wonderful you are . felix : not exactly . but we 're talking about you . you expect me to feel sorry for you ? expect me to forgive your ruthless personality because you had a mean mommy and daddy who were never home ? the only one i feel sorry for is that baby you 're carrying , having you as a mother . as a matter of fact , i 'm gon na start a therapy fund for it because it 's gon na need it . the only thing that that child has in its favor is having patrick as a father , assuming patrick is the father . sabrina : i have a confession to make . patrick : do n't tell me you 're a vegan now . sabrina : [ chuckles ] i -- i 'm nowhere near as kind and wonderful as you think . i had an ulterior motive letting britt move in . patrick : okay . i 'm listening . sabrina : i still think she 's faking her condition , and felix and i are trying to prove it . and i know how upset you got the first time i mentioned it because the lab work you saw backed up her story . patrick : i did . sabrina : but given everything that i know about britt ... felix and i were trying to take a blood sample and run new tests . unfortunately , she managed to worm her way out of it . patrick : okay . look , sabrina , just because she 's pregnant with my child , it does n't mean that i do n't acknowledge what she 's done or understand what she 's capable of . sabrina : do you mean that ? because while we 're on the subject of what she 's capable of , we still do n't know for sure if the baby she 's carrying is actually yours . laura : i ca n't stop thinking about the nursery . lulu : well , actually , i think that we are gon na keep the baby in the bassinet next to the bed for the first six months or so . and , uh , dante talked to our landlord . he thinks that something larger might open up in the next year , or maybe we might get a house . laura : oh . oh , lulu , it 's all so exciting , all of these changes . you know , you have everything to look forward to . lulu : tell me about you . how was the honeymoon ? how was hawaii ? laura : oh , it was glorious . absolutely glorious . the water , the flowers , the moon ... you know , you 'd think that scotty and i would be sort of spoiled having lived in the most romantic city in the world , but , no . hawaii is romantic in a whole other kind of wonderful way . lulu : oh . i 'm so happy for you , mom . laura : thank you , sweetheart . oh ! that reminds me . i have a little something for you . well , actually , for the baby . [ chuckles ] lulu : oh , no . wait . aah ! okay , it 's the cutest thing i ever saw . aah ! dante will love this . laura : i hope so . and there 's some other little things for you and dante in there . lulu : chocolate macadamia nuts ? laura : oh , yeah . lulu : okay , this is a test of our marriage because i love him more than my own life , but i do n't want to share these at all . laura : honey , are you sure you turned the stove down ? lulu : oh , no . dante 's meatballs are burning . dante : i ca n't believe the judge gave franco bail . sonny : the man should not be walking around . dante : all i can think of is that the d.a . on this case , lazaro , he 's sketchy , man . i bet you franco paid him off . sonny : well , you know what ? would n't be the first time someone 's on the take . speaking of which , connie 's trial 's today . dante : did n't you hear ? the judge tossed the case . sonny : what do you mean ? dante : yeah , that 's right . connie 's free . connie : come on , cuz . spill the beans . you ever think about meeting someone ? olivia : you know , i 've had a little bit of time to live with it , and i have had to realize that steve made a choice . you know ? he made a choice not to defend himself , take a longer sentence , and , uh ... i got to take him at his word . he does n't want me to wait for him , and i 'm not gon na wait . i sent the ring back . it 's over . connie : well , you know what ? i think you made the right decision , and i know there 's someone out there that 's gon na make you very happy . olivia : i hope so , and soon , too , 'cause i 'm not getting any younger . connie : okay . what are you talking about ? are you kidding me ? you are gorgeous , liv . you are smart and you are successful . you 're gon na be beating them off with a stick . i mean it . you deserve the best . you deserve a man who makes you feel like sonny made me feel . franco : sit down . let 's chat . it 's the perfect opportunity . you know , my aunt tracy and my big brother aj are upstairs fighting over my daughter . carly : they found lauren ? franco : oh , lauren found them , only she does n't go by lauren . imagine that . been pining after this girl her entire life , and i 've been calling her the wrong name . carly : i feel so sorry for you . franco : oh . i have a lot to make up for in my life . please , sit down . let 's chat . carly : not here . you know , i think we need to be somewhere in public , where i feel safe . franco : this is a conversation . we 're not exchanging hostages . carly : with you , one never knows . franco : fine . where would you like to have this conversation , carly ? carly : my hotel . we can have dinner at the metro court . franco : are you asking me out ? carly : do n't even try and charm me . franco : fine . the metro court it is . i 'll need a few minutes here to finish up . carly : that 's fine . i 'll meet you there . i 'll need a few minutes to , um ... make the arrangements . franco : great . totally unexpected . what a terrific idea . carly : [ chuckles ] yeah . i feel like it 's my only recourse . shawn : you 've got to let this out . you 're scared , you 're sad -- it 's brutal . alexis : he 's just so little . it 's ... i 'm not doing this , because if i start , i wo n't stop . shawn : look , that 's okay . okay , you be the way you need to be , 'cause i 'm right here . alexis : and -- and i 'm really grateful for that . and if i have n't -- have n't said that enough ... i 'm grateful that you 're in my life . shawn : hey . i love you , alexis . alexis : i ... love you , too . i ... i hope you know how hard that is for me to say . shawn : well , if it came too easy , it would n't mean anything . alexis : it does ... mean everything ... for me to have you here with me . [ cell phone rings ] shawn : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . alexis : it 's bad timing . that 's all right . shawn : i got to take this . [ ringing continues ] alexis : i 'm gon na go check on sam . shawn : okay . [ sighs ] hello ? carly : it 's carly . the hit 's back on . patrick : i 've been wondering from the beginning if the baby was mine . as far as i know , britt was n't sleeping with anybody else , so ... and then she decided that she was gon na have an abortion , so i did n't really think too much about it . then she decided she was gon na keep the baby , so i wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and support her , and when the time was right , we 'd get an amnio to find out if the baby was mine . when that time came ... she got sick , so ... sabrina : if she really is sick . maybe that was britt 's way of avoiding a paternity test . britt : of course it 's patrick 's baby . what are you talking about ? felix : well , we only have your word , and we know what that 's good for . britt : you may be chasing everything in pants , but i 've only been with one person in the last year -- patrick . felix : when you ambushed him in the shower . britt : and how would you know that ? felix : if you 're gon na have sex in public places , expect to be seen . ' course , in the case of patrick , it was a one - time thing . britt : do they not teach basic reproduction in nursing school ? once is all it takes . this is patrick 's baby . felix : okay . to quote my friend , carly -- prove it . shawn : the hit 's back on ? i thought sonny wanted to wait . carly : no , it 's back on , all right ? our friend is gon na be on the terrace at the metro court restaurant . i 'm gon na leave the door open to room 1202 . that room overlooks the terrace , okay ? you 're gon na have a perfect shot from there . i want you to enter the hotel from the grant street entrance . i will make sure the security cameras are off . shawn : any chance this can wait ? carly : it can not wait , okay ? shawn : what about sonny ? are you sure he 's okay with moving forward with this ? carly : it was his idea . sonny : so , uh , they dropped the charges against connie ? dante : yeah . diane miller -- she found a pretrial motion arguing that connie was lacking intent because of the d.i.d . the judge kicked the case . sonny : well , that 's a weight off . dante : yeah . sonny : last thing i would want is connie to go to prison for something she ca n't control . i 'm sure she 's having a happy birthday . dante : today 's her birthday ? you 're serious ? sonny : [ chuckles ] yeah , i bought this for her ... way back when she was going through therapy and before she broke it off with me . i do n't know what to do with it . throw it away -- i do n't know . dante : what 're you talking about ? you two are crazy about each other . sonny : well , that 's the problem , see , because she says that she loves me so much that being with me literally drives her crazy . dante : i do n't buy that for a second . sonny : i do n't , either . but connie does , and ... i got to respect that . dante : hey . look . i was really beginning to doubt that i 'd ever get lulu back . but we found a way . who knows ? maybe the same thing will happen with you and connie . olivia : why are we even talking about me right now ? it 's not my birthday . you 're the birthday girl . you 're healthy . you 're -- you 're back on -- connie : you got your eye on someone , do n't you . you have your own on someone . what are you not telling me ? olivia : oh , my god . what the hell is he doing here ? shawn : how 's sam ? alexis : she 's napping in the chair , and the baby 's still sleeping , so i 'm just gon na let them rest . shawn : all right . um ... are you gon na be all right ? alexis : why ? shawn : look , i -- i really do n't want to leave you right now , but i have to , uh ... some business . alexis : why do i think this has nothing to do with kelly 's and everything to do with sonny ? does he have something for you to do ? dry mouth definitely affected my self confidence . alexis : sorry . i -- i do n't have any right to judge you . i mean , i 'm on sonny 's retainer , so i effectively work for him . it 's just not the same thing . shawn : no , it 's not . alexis : i 've never asked you what you do for him . i do n't want to know . really . it 's just that i 'm -- i 'm worried -- take that back . i 'm scared , and i 'm feeling very vulnerable right now , and i -- i need you to be here for me . again , hard for me to say . but i want you to be careful . shawn : all right . i 'll be back before you know it . look , you know i 'm coming right back . [ elevator bell dings ] franco : hello , ladies . nice to see you again . connie : gon na have to ask you to leave , mr. frank . franco : franco . thought we settled that . and just so we 're clear -- olivia : you 're not welcome here . okay ? you can either leave on your own power , or i can have security escort you out . carly : he 's with me . connie : with you ? carly : yep . that 's right . and our table 's right over there . olivia : what in the hell is she doing here with him ? connie : and i thought i was the crazy one . lulu : olivia has been trying to teach me to cook since before dante and i got married , and every time i think i 've got it down , disaster strikes . laura : honey , it 's gon na be okay . just let this cool down a little bit , and then you can trim away the burnt parts . is the sauce scorched , you think ? because if it 's not , you can just chop up what 's left and throw it in there , and you 'll make bolognese . lulu : yeah , but dante likes meatballs . laura : sweetheart , dante likes you . lulu : honestly , sometimes i wonder why . i am always up to my neck in some sort of a disaster , everyone in my family is certifiable -- no offense -- and to top it all off , i ca n't even cook . laura : lots of people ca n't cook . listen , dante loves you for who you are . lulu : he was so amazing . i rejected him over and over and over , and he just hung in there . i just wanted to be able to cook him a nice meal to say thank you . laura : listen , he would be happy with cereal , as long as he had you . lulu : you know , grandma called it . she told dante that i was trying to forget certain things . she was right . when i finally remembered , it was dante who ... who convinced me that i did n't need to feel ashamed or feel guilty -- that it really was n't my fault . laura : no , sweetheart , it was n't . lulu : but he 's so strong and smart and funny , and he knows who he is , and he stands for what he believes in , and i can trust him because he trusts himself . i do n't know what i would do without him . dante : do without who ? lulu : who do you think ? dante : hey . lulu : hey . dante : laura . laura : hey . dante : welcome back . laura : oh , thank you . dante : you gon na stay for dinner ? laura : no , honey , no . i 'm just on my way out . i want you two to enjoy each other . i 'm gon na go home and enjoy my husband . lulu : tell scotty i said hi . laura : i will , sweetheart . lulu : i love you , mom . [ both smooch ] [ door closes ] lulu : [ sighs ] dante : what happened here ? lulu : that is my pathetic attempt to show you how much i love you . dante : come here . you do n't have to prove anything to me . okay ? britt : `` prove it `` ? what is that supposed to mean ? felix : you 're the gynecologist . do an amnio . britt : i 'm not gon na subject myself or my baby to an invasive procedure just to make you happy . i 'm sick . that would put undue stress on my body . felix : point taken . but as you 're aware , there 's a completely noninvasive paternity test now . you just need to do a blood draw and have that compared to patrick 's dna . what do you say ? patrick : i doubt that britt is going to agree to an amnio , especially now that she 's so sick -- assuming she 's sick . sabrina : well , there 's a noninvasive test . all that 's needed is a blood draw and a dna sample from you . patrick : okay . i 've got a great idea . sabrina : we should stop talking about britt . patrick : yes . sabrina : okay . patrick : and how about we , uh ... go back to my house ... for some dessert ? sabrina : dessert . patrick : mm - hmm . something sweet . carly : should be nice and quiet out here . we can talk without disruption . connie : what the hell is carly doing with franco ? she hates that guy . olivia : i do n't know . connie : oh , look who just came in . hi , sonny . sonny : i 'm not staying . i just wanted to give you something . uh ... connie : oh , no , i -- sonny : wait , wait . just hear me out . happy birthday . do n't have to get mad 'cause i bought this -- take it , 'cause i bought this before we broke up , and i just , you know , thought you should have it . connie : where did you get this ? what is this ? sonny : bensonhurst , the jewelry store you used to work at . remember ? connie : maddens , yeah . olivia : me too . connie : i loved that place . sonny : they were gon na shut it down . they were shutting it down , so i , uh ... i remembered how you used to say that you loved a gold charm there and that you were gon na save up your money ... and buy it . maybe you already bought it . i do n't know . but , um ... olivia : those charms were always so cute . i liked them , too . i used to work there , too . remember ? sonny : so i went down , and i , uh -- i bought it before they shut it down . i got that for you . connie : i do n't know what to say . sonny : you do n't have to say anything . i did what i got to do , so i 'm gon na go ahead and go . olivia : sonny , sonny , there 's something else you should know . sonny : what ? olivia : franco is here . sonny : what do you mean ? olivia : with carly . felix : for argument 's sake , let 's pretend you have nothing to hide ... that you 're an admittedly selfish , possessive bitch who went after a man who initially returned your feelings but then dumped you -- for good reason , but i digress . you have sex just once , but -- oops ! you accidentally got caught with his child . you 've been acting in good faith ever since , just trying to give your little bundle of joy a fair shake in the world . do n't you want that known ? take the paternity test . prove that the baby 's patrick 's , and you 're in the clear . britt : i refuse to submit to a dna test . i have nothing to prove to you . felix : true . but eventually , you 're gon na have to prove it to patrick . patrick : and just to let you know , emma is staying with duke and anna tonight , so ... we have the place to ourselves . sabrina : that sounds wonderful . patrick : good . i was hoping you would say that . lulu : i really thought that i was gon na nail those meatballs this time . dante : next time . lulu : next time , i 'll probably burn down the apartment . dante : you know , i have a feeling you 're actually gon na be a really good cook . lulu : really ? dante : yeah . lulu : mm . dante : yeah . something i know about you , lesley lu spencer falconeri , is that when you put your mind to something , you always find a way . lulu : but in the meantime , we do have to eat . maybe your mom will comp us a couple meals down at the metro court . dante : you know what ? i do n't want to do that . lulu : mm ? dante : 'cause i ca n't think of anything more perfect than just being here with my wife . lulu : really ? dante : yeah . that okay with you ? lulu : mm - hmm . [ giggles ] sonny : where are they ? olivia : they 're on the terrace . sonny : excuse me . franco : you know the problem with genius , with understanding everything , is that you 're rarely surprised . but you , carly -- you surprised me . i salute your surprise . sonny : what the hell 's going on here ? shawn : damn it , sonny , get out of the way . sonny : what are you doing , carly ? carly : just , uh , clearing the air with franco . sonny : i do n't think that 's a good idea . shawn : [ sighs ] connie : you were right . sonny does n't seem too happy about franco being out on bail . olivia : this is gon na get a whole lot worse before it gets any better .

brad : so i beat it to the icu -- knocking over candy stripers , blowing by nuns , therapy dogs barking , epiphany bellowing , alarms blaring . finally , i get to lucas ' room , and what do i find ? felix laughing it up , hanging all over lucas , who , of course , just happens to be half naked . britt : mm - hmm . brad : right ? and felix is all , `` i 'm just changing his dressing . `` and i 'm like , `` please . my rock - hard bubble butt , that 's all you 're doing . `` of course , i did n't say that 'cause , you know , i 'm a professional ... like he 's supposed to be . and then i 'm not even there two minutes when lucas ' mother flounces in and kicks me out . britt : oh , that 's rough . brad : can i get a little sympathy here ? i know it 's not your strong suit , but you could at least fake it . or can you not fathom what it 's like to find your rival oozing all over your ... man . ric : look , elizabeth , i - i do n't want to pressure you . i do n't want to ... crowd you or anything , but ... i want this -- us -- to finally work out , you know ? i want us to last this time ... if that 's what you want .

what are you talking about ? i thought that you wanted out of the business . julian : yeah , well , now i 'm back in , thanks to our boss . jordan : what do you mean ? we do n't have a boss . ric lansing is behind bars , so there 's not much he can do from there . julian : i 'm not talking about ric lansing . jordan : well , if you 're not talking about ric lansing , then who are you talking about ?

anna : because -- i 'm sorry . i - i tried to call you to let you know this was happening . duke : anna , when i left here , he was in custody . he was about to pay for what he 'd done to us . anna : yeah , that was -- that was the plan . duke : well , how could -- what happened ? how could you let him go ? anna : he cut a deal with baldwin . duke : and you could n't scuttle it ? anna : possibly , but i chose not to . duke : why ? anna : [ sighs ] duke : why ? anna : because our investigation revealed a greater danger than julian -- a financier . and julian turned state 's evidence against him . duke : so you gave him immunity ? anna : well , yes . we could n't pass up the chance to get the man he 's working for . it was sonny 's brother , ric lansing . ric : i knew you 'd come to gloat . surprised it took you this long . sonny : been busy , ric . ric : oh , yeah ?

[ footsteps approaching ] elizabeth : [ chuckles ] diane : hello , ladies . [ binder thuds ] diane : everything all right ? dare i ask ? elizabeth : hello , diane . um , how can i help you ? diane : i guess the question is , how can i help you ? did you not call me and ask me to represent ric lansing ? elizabeth : yes . yes , i did . diane : did we not have an appointment an hour ago ? elizabeth : i am so sorry . i was going to cancel it . i ... diane : why would you do that ? elizabeth : because [ sighs ] there is so much evidence stacked up against ric . i just ca n't get involved with his defense . diane : oh . okay . uh , two things . uh , number one , i require 24-hour notice for a cancellation , so i 'm gon na have to charge you . and , number two , have you lost your mind ? alexis : molly and i are at odds over ric 's arrest and inevitable conviction . nikolas : let me guess -- molly does n't think it 's so inevitable ? alexis : of course she thinks he 's innocent . there 's a mountain of evidence against him , but she knows that he has n't done anything wrong . nikolas : i just feel badly for her . i mean , anybody in ric 's corner is in for a rude awakening . i 'm just glad elizabeth saw the light before it was too late . alexis : so , i take it elizabeth is no longer on team ric ? nikolas : no . she realizes that sticking by him would only bring more grief than he 's already caused her . molly : in order for my father to hurt me , he would have to be guilty , and he 's not . tj : i hope that 's true . molly : but ? tj : but my mother lied to me about what she was really up to here . molly : your mother and my father are not the same . tj : you 're right . [ chuckles ] things might turn out better for you and your dad than they did for me and my mom because the problem is , at this point , she ca n't fix anything between us , and she wo n't let me be . molly : what do you mean ? tj : she just tried to get in touch with me a little while ago , saying she was looking for me and had something important to tell me . molly : well , what 's it about ? tj : i do n't know . frankly , i do n't want to hear it . molly : maybe you should give her a chance . tj : [ scoffs ] are you kidding me ? molly : tj , you 've only got one mother . just hear her out . tj : i do n't know . molly : well , i 've only got one father , and i 'm not gon na hang him out to dry . duke : i was under the impression you and i were in this together . anna : we are . duke : your actions indicate otherwise . anna : i do n't have to consult you on official matters . my job is to protect the public . duke : you 're allowed to put your job first , but i have to do otherwise ? i just quit my job 'cause you insisted on it . anna : you work for a mobster . that is hardly the same thing at all . duke : we had an arrangement , anna . i brought you enough evidence to arrest julian jerome and close down his operation . in exchange for that , i cut my ties with sonny . anna : yes , which is as much for your benefit as mine . duke : i 've kept my side of the bargain . you did n't keep yours . why do n't i just walk straight back to sonny now and get my job back ? sonny : deny , deny , deny -- that 's all you know how to do , ric . you do n't have the guts to own up to what you did , even when you 're caught red - handed ? ric : sonny , please , just listen to me , okay ? sonny : i do n't want to listen anymore ! i do n't even know why i showed up here , 'cause i knew you 'd ric : sonny , listen . whether you believe me or not , you got to understand -- you got to realize the danger is still out there . sonny : you know , this -- you actually got me thinking what it would be like to have a real brother ... but i guess that 's never gon na happen , right , ric ? thanks . ric : sonny . sonny : no . ric : no , sonny . sonny : give my regards to johnny zacchara . ric : you 're still in danger . sonny , you got to believe me . sonny : i do n't care ! ric : sonny ! i 'm not your enemy , sonny ! your real enemy is out there ! sonny ! jordan : i ca n't believe it . the pcpd has the wrong guy , and ric lansing is getting played . julian : what do you say we accept ric lansing 's fate , and we move on ? hmm ? jordan : look , do n't get me wrong . i - i want to get back to work more than ever . i just , um -- you know , how ? it 's not like we can pick up where we left off . julian : no , we ca n't . i already told everybody i was out . made assurances to my loved ones , the authorities . now i have no choice but to go back on my word , resume operations , and keep lying . jordan : but , julian -- julian : uh ... [ sighs ] jordan , what is your sudden reluctance to get your hands dirty here ? i mean , you begged me to get into the action here . i mean , you should be chomping at the bit . so why are n't you ? anna : well , you 've done your job . you got the man you came here to get . there 's no reason you ca n't tell your son the truth now . jordan : nothing . i 'm -- this is a lot to digest , okay ? and to be honest , i do n't think revving up right now is -- is a wise move . julian : and i should , uh , care about what you think why ? jordan : because if you do n't have me , you do n't have anybody to run your operation and maintain your little low profile . julian : [ sighs ] jordan : see , my charges were dismissed on a technicality , and that means that the cops are gon na be watching me like a hawk , just waiting for me to mess up , so if i 'm gon na risk my neck for you and your mystery boss , i 'm gon na need a little security . julian : such as ? jordan : a name -- who you 're really working for . brad : well , so much for that . lucas ' mother is standing guard in front of his room . she does n't want him to get `` unduly upset . `` as if i would upset him ... duly or not . all right , i - i am a ray of sunshine , okay ? i walk in a room , and wilted flowers perk up , fruit ripens , widows -- they -- they feel a second chance at love . lucas -- he would have been back on the bench press days ago if i was in there to cheer him up . [ sighs ] what if she stands guard indefinitely ? how the hell am i gon na get lucas back if i ca n't even get in to see him ? britt : do n't you get it ? you 're not going to get lucas back , as much as i 'm not gon na get nikolas back . alexis : i was under the impression that elizabeth was staunchly on ric 's side . nikolas : she was . i stopped by her house , uh , to check on her the morning after ric was arrested . she was trying to arrange for diane to defend him . alexis : mm , and when did that change ? nikolas : when she realized that ric 's prints were all over the gun . alexis : and when did she realize that ? during one of your visits ? nikolas : alexis , it was -- it was right there in the paper . she just had n't read it yet . alexis : until you pointed it out . interesting . nikolas : interesting how ? alexis : well , it 's interesting that it was n't until your informal prosecution of ric that won elizabeth over . it 's also interesting that ric being incarcerated for possibly the rest of his life clears a path for you to get right to elizabeth . diane : you have no business giving up on this man without a fight . elizabeth : diane , they found a gun in his room with his fingerprints all over it , and not only was it the same gun used to shoot lucas , it was the same gun used to shoot the man who shot lucas . diane : elizabeth , there are a million ways that ric 's fingerprints could have wound up on that gun . elizabeth : name one . diane : you put me on retainer , and i 'll name 10 in court , and i 'll give you 12 expert witnesses for each one . that gun and the fingerprints are circumstantial evidence . they in no way prove that ric lansing shot either of those people . elizabeth : it 's very persuasive to me . diane : okay , you answer me this . is ric lansing a stupid man ? elizabeth : you know he 's not . diane : right . then why would he shoot someone , not wipe his fingerprints off the gun , and hide the gun in his own hotel room ? right . circumstantial . elizabeth : i do n't know . i just know that i ca n't get involved . diane : okay , so that 's it , then , right ? yeah , one little piece of non- evidence , and you pull up stakes ? elizabeth : i do n't see why this is any of your -- diane : i 'm just asking you -- elizabeth : this is not about you . diane : no , it 's not . you 're right . and from what i can see , it 's not about ric , either . no , this is all about you . guard : mr. popular . [ keys jingling ] guard : you got another visitor . [ lock clicks , door opens ] ric : molly . molly : dad . how are you doing ? ric : oh , you know , i 'm , uh -- i 'm making do . i 'm sorry you have to see me like this . molly : no , no , dad , forget about me . you should be worried about yourself . ric : listen , molly , okay ? i know that the press and , uh , all these people are saying that i 've done some terrible things and that there 's all this evidence against me , but i swear to you , every bit of it is fabricated . okay , i had nothing to do with -- with lucas being shot , and i definitely am not some kind of a drug dealer . molly : i know . ric : you -- you know ? molly : yeah , of course . dad , it 's okay . you do n't have to try and convince me . i believe you . ric : you think i 'm innocent ? molly : no , i know you 're innocent because i know you . you 're my father , and i 'm behind you 100 % . ric : [ sniffles ] molly : and there 's no way i 'm letting you go through this alone . anna : you ca n't go back to work for sonny . duke : the whole point of collaborating with sonny was to neutralize julian . that has not happened . anna : yes , it has . we 've cut the head off the snake . there is no more operation . there is no more jerome family organization for him to go back to . duke : anna , you do n't believe that any more than i do . anna : no , please . you ca n't do this . look at what you working for sonny does to our relationship . it compromises my job . just think of what this could do to us . duke : why should i , when you 've failed to ? you are no longer in a position to make requests or issue ultimatums . anna : duke , please . [ door slams ] duke : hey , sonny . happy coincidence . you 're just the man i wanted to see . i 've got something urgent i need to discuss with you . jordan : you give me the boss 's name , and i have leverage . julian : sorry , jordan . think of me as being under a gag order . talking puts my family at risk . jordan : but we 're on the same side . julian : [ sighs ] i 'm doing you a favor . the less you know , the better . jordan : okay , so , then my safest bet is to stay out of it completely . i mean , i - i wo n't know anything if i do n't go back to work . julian : [ sighs ] fine . i 'll let the man in charge know that you turned me down . although [ chuckles ] i 'm sure that 'll go over about as well as my own attempt to retire . still want out ? jordan : [ sighs ] no . i 'm in . julian : good . now , you 'll have to get everything set up from scratch , but do n't worry . i 'll make sure you get the support you need . jordan : i thought that you were keeping a low profile . julian : i am , so do n't contact me unless it 's absolutely necessary . for all intents and purposes , julian jerome is out of the game . to the world , i quit , and it has to keep looking that way , or everything is gon na come tumbling down again . [ cell phone rings ] anna : what is it ? jordan : we have a problem . alexis : tell me i 'm wrong . nikolas : well -- alexis : you helped elizabeth wash her hands of ric , and now you 're in a prime position to get her back . nikolas : no , i would n't put it quite like that . alexis : of course you would n't because that would be impolite , and your manners are flawless . nikolas : most people consider that a good thing . alexis : etiquette aside , you told me you wanted to get elizabeth back , did you not ? nikolas : i did . alexis : and ric and elizabeth are now imploding , are they not ? nikolas : they are . alexis : so , what 's standing in your way ? nikolas : as far as i can see , nothing . alexis : what about britt ? brad : tear my head off , why do n't you ? britt : i did n't mean it . brad : i 'm very vulnerable right now , damn it . britt : i 'm sorry . brad : [ sighs ] that 's better .

's defense . i had a front - row seat for the end of your relationship with him . you put your faith in a.j . , and you felt you got burned . now you feel you 've done exactly the same thing with ric . elizabeth : where do you get off making assumptions about how i feel ? diane : i got ahold of a copy of the police report . i know that you were `` on the scene `` when the police arrested ric . now , it does not take a top - notch , highly in demand defense attorney to put two and two together . you fell for a.j . , and you were disappointed . now you 've fallen for ric , and you think the same thing is gon na happen , so you are protecting yourself from another hurt . elizabeth : can you blame me ? diane : no . but when i clear ric of these charges , will you blame yourself for not standing by him the way you blame yourself for not standing by a.j . ? and we both know you do . you change your mind , i will be at the police station springing my client . i know that ric would feel a lot better if you were there with me . duke : i 'm sorry , sonny . i was n't back five minutes when i heard about the deal that julian cut . sonny : it pissed me off . must be worse for you . duke : anna and i are at complete odds , needless to say . i mean , i left town believing julian was gon na be behind bars for the rest of his remaining days , and i come back and discover that he 's on the streets , free and clear . sonny : do n't sweat it . julian 's gon na get his sooner or later . duke : well , at least his power and his influence must have taken a hit , now that ric is no longer his backer . i mean , that must please you . your true enemy has been crushed . sonny : that 's the thing . ric said he was n't involved with julian -- never was . ric : molly , i ca n't tell you how much ... molly : it 's okay . it sucks when no one believes you . ric : [ chuckles ] yes . yeah , it does . molly : well , now you know at least one person does . and if i have anything to say about it , i 'm only the first . ric : look , sweetheart , i appreciate everything you 're doing for me , but i really do n't want you mixed up in the middle of this . molly : it 's too late . i 'm here . and i 'm not going anywhere . ric : no , honey , you got to understand . the people that are trying to set me up are very powerful , and they are very dangerous . molly : sonny is my uncle . jason was married to sam . i know what we 're up against . i 'm not scared . ric : yeah , well , maybe you should be . i 'm scared enough for all of us . molly : well , then i 'll be scared later when i actually have time , but right now , i need to help you , even if that just means being by your side . ric : that 's more than enough . molly : but i want to do more than that . ric : yeah , i know . i figured you would . molly : do you have representation yet ? ric : uh , i got a court - appointed attorney . i 'm working on trying to get somebody better .

[ chuckles ] valerie : i think you 're going to want to handle this one . jordan : tj , what happened ? you were arrested ? tj : i 've got nothing to say to you . jordan : this is my son . valerie : i know . jordan : who brought him in ? valerie : dante -- detective falconeri . jordan : and he just leaves him here ? valerie : he got called out on another case . something about a `` 227 . `` jordan : okay , there 's no such thing , first of all , and ... i need you to get detective falconeri on the phone right now . valerie : on it . [ door closes ] jordan : okay . it 's just the two of us . do you want to tell me why you 're handcuffed in my police station ? [ scene_break ] sloane : i 've been unceremoniously let go from the commissioner 's office . nikolas : i heard . sloane : good news travels fast . nikolas : politics . someone 's your best friend one minute . the next , they 're stabbing you in the back . sloane : that 's very true . so , you had no idea my firing was in the works ? nikolas : no , i did n't . sloane : hmm . i find that hard to believe . lomax would n't be in office if it were n't for you . stands to reason she 'd consult you on all big decisions . nikolas : [ chuckles ] then maybe she did n't deem this one very big . sloane : she 's in your pocket because of me . i gave you that power . and i can easily take it away . [ scene_break ] jake : mm . ooh . [ yawns ] [ door opens ] elizabeth : hey . jake : hey . elizabeth : i can not believe you 're awake . jake : ah . well , i 'm up . elizabeth : what time did you come to bed last night ? jake : oh , 3 : 30 , 4 : 30 , i do n't know . elizabeth : oh , you must be exhausted . jake : i 'm fine . nothing a cup of coffee could n't fix . oh , thank you . that 's so nice of you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] how 's the roof ? jake : oh , it 's good . it 's good . i think it 's all patched up . i think it 'll be fine until a professional can look at it . elizabeth : oh , thank you . i knew that branch needed to come down . i should 've taken care of it . jake : mm . you 've been busy . it 's okay , and besides , it 's really not that big of a deal . elizabeth : oh , wrestling a tree in the middle of the night -- no big deal . jake : not for me . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jake : get the kids off to school ? elizabeth : and i remembered to sign cameron 's permission slip for his field trip next week . jake : did you ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . jake : did you get it into his backpack ? elizabeth : his lunchbox . that way i know he will see it . jake : you are good . nicely done . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] the boys were bummed they could n't hang out with you this morning . apparently , your eggs trump my cereal any day . jake : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : did aiden leave this in here ? so much for my lectures on putting their toys away . jake : it 's -- it 's weird . i just had a dream about that thing . elizabeth : about this ? reliving your childhood memories ? jake : [ chuckles ] no , not exactly . you and i were here . we were playing with this kid and his motorcycle . elizabeth : aiden ? jake : no , that 's the weird part . it was n't -- it was n't aiden . it was sam 's son . [ scene_break ] sam : wait a minute . rosalie martinez , as in nina 's old nurse , rosalie ? sabrina : she 's michael 's assistant now . sam : oh , wow , from nurse to executive assistant . that 's quite a leap , do n't you think ? sabrina : well , yeah , it would be , but she was never really a nurse . sam : huh ? sabrina : rosalie was lying the entire time she was working for nina , and i have a feeling she 's still lying now . [ scene_break ] michael : you told me that nina refused to sell the shares that ned gave him . rosalie : yeah . i mean , i -- i tried to convince her , but nina would n't budge . like i said , we did n't exactly part on the best of terms . but i swear , michael , i did everything in my power to try to convince her . michael : i 'm sure you did . it 's just ... franco came to see me yesterday . he was furious . convinced that i owed him money . rosalie : why would he think that ? michael : well , according to franco , nina did sell those elq shares ... to you . [ scene_break ] franco : remember when i said that i was going to confront nina ? dr. obrecht : i remember everything you say and do . franco : well , i went to her hotel room , `` egg salad `` in hand , and she busted it over my head . dr. obrecht : that vindictive schlampe . franco : i 'm guessing `` schlampe `` is a not - nice word ? dr. obrecht : i told you to stay away from her . franco : yeah , i know . but someone needed to show her that ric lansing only married her for her money . dr. obrecht : did she thank you for showing her the error of her ways ? jump into your arms ? divorce ric on the spot ? did she pledge her undying love to you ? franco : not exactly . [ scene_break ] ric : i 'm sorry . did you just say that you own 11 1/2 % of elq ? nina : `` owned `` -- past tense . yeah . ric : oh ? nina : franco got the shares from ned in exchange for us keeping a secret that olivia had . ric : well , those shares are worth a fortune . nina : oh , yeah , they sure are . ric : you sold them ? for ... how much ? nina : uh ... not sure . but i 'll tell you something . there were a lot of stacks of cash involved , that 's for sure . ric : wow . and where are those stacks now ? nina : well , with part of it , i used it to pay the bill that i owed olivia . that 's why you have n't seen her around nagging us , right ? i just did n't think it was fair for you to take responsibility for , you know , what franco and i racked up when i was single . ric : yeah , but , i mean , all the cash is n't gone , right ? nina : oh , no . part of it is in the bank . ric : [ sighs ] thank god . [ chuckles ] nina : why `` thank god `` ? i thought you were n't interested in my money . [ scene_break ] franco : nina has taken up permanent residence in lala land . she thinks that ric married her for her sparkling personality and that the whirlwind nuptials had nothing to do with the reeves fortune . dr. obrecht : denial is a powerful thing . franco : yeah , it is . and i have tried everything that i can think of to try and get her to see the truth . i -- i even threatened her with jail time . dr. obrecht : how did you do that ? franco : oh , with the help of your son , actually . nathan brought nina in for kidnapping a kid -- avery quartermaine . dr. obrecht : i believe it 's `` aj `` now . franco : they should pick a name and stick to it . dr. obrecht : but nina did not confess ? franco : oh , god , no . i made that whole thing up . dr. obrecht : and nathan went along with it ? franco : oh , yeah , he hates the idea of ric being with nina as much as i do , if not more so . and it was going beautiful , liesl , it really was . i mean , when faced with the choice between a jail cell and an annulment , nina 's so - called marriage was about to implode . dr. obrecht : until ? franco : until nina called our bluff , and then your son chickened out , 'cause he 's a yellow - bellied coward . he may -- he may call himself a cop and walk around with a badge and a gun , but he did n't have what it takes to lock his sister up for one measly night . dr. obrecht : nathan can be too compassionate for his own good . i do not know from where he gets it . franco : well , not from you . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] and certainly not from his vater . franco : nathan is useless . dr. obrecht : i urge you to rephrase immediately . franco : in this particular situation . and i 'm fresh out of ideas . i know that there 's a way to get nina to see the truth . i just do n't know what it is . dr. obrecht : maybe i do . [ scene_break ] sabrina : franco showed up here last night ranting and raving . sam : well , i mean , that 's par for the course for franco . sabrina : yeah , i guess , but this time he actually had a reason . nina sold his elq shares , and he was not happy about it . [ scene_break ] rosalie : wait , franco said that nina sold me the shares ? michael : and that it was n't her right , because they were half his , so he wanted half the money . [ scene_break ] sabrina : michael was taken completely off guard . sam : yeah , well , that 'll happen when someone storms into your home . sabrina : well , yeah , but not just because of that . those shares -- rosalie specifically told michael that nina refused to sell . [ scene_break ] michael : it 's just really strange , you know , because what franco was saying is the complete opposite from what you told me . rosalie : i mean , yeah , that is -- that is really strange . um ... the only thing i can think is that maybe nina lied to franco . [ scene_break ] sabrina : michael 's first thought was that nina lied to franco . sam : okay , well , what were you thinking ? sabrina : i think it 's equally possible that rosalie is lying to michael . [ scene_break ] rosalie : i mean , why would n't nina lie to franco and say that she did n't have the shares anymore ? you know , she 's probably trying to get him off her back . especially now that she 's done with that psycho and married to someone else . [ scene_break ] ric : i do n't care about your money . i do care about my wife , though . we 've already established that i 've not been around much lately , and the thought of somebody using my absence to take advantage of you , that just does n't sit well with me . molly : hey , dad . ric : molly , hi . sweetheart . oh , i 'm so glad to see you . oh , you finally get a chance to meet my wife , nina . nina : hey . you told her the good news ? mm - hmm . molly : yeah , he told me the news , all right . and fyi , we 've already met . nina is the one who ruined sam 's relationship with silas . nina : oh , well , in all fairness , he was my husband at the time . molly : okay , well , in all fairness , they thought you were dead . nina : she 's got spunk , that one . ric : [ chuckles ] that 's a -- a word for it . nina : yeah . well , listen , i -- i just want you to know that i 've done some work on myself and apologize for any pain that i inflicted on anyone . [ clears throat ] molly : to my sister ? nina : um ... well , no , to silas , but i -- i supposed i should apologize to your sister , samantha , and anything that i did , it -- it was n't personal . molly : [ laughs ] okay , nina . nina : listen . hey ? hey ? call me `` mom . `` [ scene_break ] jordan : look , i know you 're not happy with me at the moment , but i 'm still your mother , and i want to help you . so , please , no judgments , i promise . i 'm just -- just here to listen . tj : okay , well , i guess i do have one thing to say . jordan : okay . tj : congratulations . your big promotion . that must be your reward for screwing over shawn . jordan : will you please just tell me what happened ? why did dante arrest you ? tj : why do you care ? jordan : why do i ... ? why do you think ? tj : 'cause you 're the hot - shot commissioner now . you 're probably just worried that i 'll embarrass you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you threatening me ? sloane : no , i 'm just pointing out facts . you helped me fix the mayoral election . now ... if that fact were to come to light , not only would it tarnish your royal reputation , could land you in jail . i 'd hate to see that happen . nikolas : [ chuckles ] right . sloane : so , i thought i 'd do you the courtesy of talking to you first . nikolas : cut the crap , sloane . we both know you ca n't expose me without exposing yourself . you have no intention of coming forward . so , just tell me what you really want . [ scene_break ] jake : danny and i were playing with this motorcycle , talking about how fast we could make it go . and you said something like , `` wonder where he gets that from ? `` like he was my kid . elizabeth : well , dreams are supposed to confuse us , right ? i mean , mine never make any sense . jake : yeah , i guess so . i do n't know . [ sighs ] this one was just out there , you know ? elizabeth : like when cameron dreamed that he was ... the host of his own tv show ? [ chuckles ] jake : his own `` mr . fix it `` show . what 's so out there about that ? he and aiden were helping me every step of the way when i fixed the washer and dryer . elizabeth : and the garage door opener and aiden 's bike and the bathroom window . you know , i did n't ask you to stay here , because you 're good with a toolbox . jake : you did n't ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jake : no . i like spending time with those guys . elizabeth : well , they like it , too . you 've gone above and beyond when it comes to them . jake : look , it 's all temporary . i just have to find a job . that way , i can pay for my own place . elizabeth : there 's no rush . the boys love having you here . and so do i . so , stop worrying . jake : how do you suppose i do that ? elizabeth : well , i could tell you , but it would probably be quicker if i just showed you . jake : oh , yeah ? i can be quick . elizabeth : you 'd better not be . jake : i can be quick . [ chuckles ] hey , we 're getting pretty good at that . elizabeth : practice makes perfect . jake : oh , yeah ? it does ? then i guess i 'm a perfectionist . elizabeth : oh , really ? [ both laughing ] jake : i do n't know . bad joke . sorry . just really enjoy being here . elizabeth : uh - oh . jake : `` uh - oh , `` what ? elizabeth : well , generally when someone says that , it means they 're about to leave . jake : ah , come on . i mean it . i 've got to -- i 've got to go find my own place . i 've got to stop mooching off of you . elizabeth : jake , you are many things , but you are not a moocher . jake : [ sighs ] now that i 'm ... not working with the jeromes -- elizabeth : oh , thank god . jake : yes , thank god . as much as i have enjoyed hanging out with you and your boys and ... performing various and sundry home repairs , i need to go find a job . [ scene_break ] sloane : what i want is simple . i want you to call lomax and order her to reappoint me . nikolas : order her ? first off , the mayor is not my lap dog . sloane : could 've fooled me . nikolas : second , she would never reverse her decision . it would be political suicide . sloane : so , i 'm screwed ? is that it ? nikolas : no , no , no , no . not necessarily . i have an alternate job opportunity for you . sloane : i do n't want to be nanny to your kid , okay ? no offense , but he 's hell on wheels . nikolas : do n't worry about spencer . he 's taken care of . sloane : hmm . nikolas : i want you to help me take over elq . [ scene_break ] rosalie : if you 're asking me to explain franco , or nina , for that matter ... look , all i know is that i did n't buy the shares . how could i have ? every last dollar was returned to you , right ? and i think it 's pretty obvious that i do n't have access to that kind of cash . or any cash , for that matter . michael : oh . rosalie : so , you believe me ? michael : [ chuckles ] yeah , yeah , i do . rosalie : good . although ... i have to say , i was a little surprised that you would even ask . have i done something recently that makes you not trust me all of a sudden ? michael : no , no , you did n't . rosalie : okay . 'cause i thought we were solid . i thought we were friends . michael : we are . rosalie : okay . so , what is it ? you know what ? i think i just answered my own question . this suspicion is not coming from you , is it ? it 's coming from sabrina . [ scene_break ] sam : if rosalie is trying to pull one over on michael , it is definitely my problem . sabrina : oh ? i -- i guess i did n't realize you guys were close . sam : well , i mean , michael was arguably jason 's favorite person in the whole world , which means i would actually get on my knees and walk miles for him . not to mention that i think he is actually a really great guy . sabrina : yeah . sam : so , fill me in . you think that rosalie is lying -- that she actually did try and buy elq shares from nina ? sabrina : it 's just a thought , but yes . sam : okay , so what did rosalie do with the money that michael gave her to make the purchase ? sabrina : she returned it , which is where things get complicated . sam : yes , of course , because rosalie does n't have that kind of money . sabrina : exactly . sam : okay , well , maybe someone else gave it to her . sabrina : that 's what i was thinking . sam : any idea who ? sabrina : whoever rosalie called `` boss . `` sam : `` boss `` ? sabrina : yeah , so ... i brought aj to michael 's office one day to visit her older brother , and when i got there , rosalie was finishing up a phone call , and whoever was on the other line , she called `` boss , `` and it was n't michael . sam : really ? did you ask her about it ? sabrina : no . i told michael , but i do n't think he ever followed up . sam : okay , well , that means that she 's working for somebody else or she 's some kind of big corporate spy . sabrina : yeah , i do n't know . but maybe you could find out . [ scene_break ] franco : you have another way to get through to nina ? what is it ? you going to peel back her fingernails ? you going to waterboard her ? what ? dr. obrecht : something slightly less painful but equally dramatic . i am , however , hesitant to get involved in the matter , as i never believed my niece to be worthy of your genius . franco : yeah , well , you and i , we 're going to disagree on that , but back to your idea -- what is it ? what could possibly get nina to see the light ? dr. obrecht : it 's not a `` what . `` it 's a `` who . `` her mother , magda . [ scene_break ] molly : thanks , but i have a mother . her name 's alexis . nina : i know that . i know . and i did n't meant to imply otherwise . molly : yeah , i 'm sure you did n't . nina : no , i did n't . just listen . just consider me to be another female presence to guide you through this new stage of womanhood . molly : oh , my god . ric : okay , molly , nina 's just trying to be a friend . nina : no , i -- more than that . just consider yourself to have two mommies now . [ scene_break ] jordan : i 'm your mother . tj : you 've said that already . jordan : okay , well , i think it bears repeating . tj , you can never embarrass me , baby , no . i just -- i just want to make sure that you 're all right , so , please , just tell me what happened . so , that 's it ? you 're just gon na shut me out ? you need to talk to someone . tj : you 're right . i want my phone call . i 'm entitled to that . right , commish ? [ scene_break ] molly : oh , let 's just back up a little here . i 'm still getting used to the idea that my dad is remarried . it was very unexpected . nina : oh , yes . well , ric and i just clicked . we have a lot in common . molly : you do ? ric : look , nina and i have had our share of misguided choices and been ostracized for them , you know ? look , i do n't want to keep bringing up and revisiting all of our past mistakes . molly : yeah , of course not . you do n't have to do that . ric : right , no , but nina and i empathize with one another . i mean , we were criticized , and we felt , you know , judged for that , but now we do n't have to feel that anymore because we have , you know , each other . nina : all we need to make our family complete is to know that -- molly : `` family `` ? nina : yes . you and me and molly makes three . [ cell phone rings ] molly : oh , is that me ? please , let that be me . yes ! `` unknown caller `` ? ric : sweetheart , no , maybe you can wait until after breakfast ? molly : well , maybe it 's my mother calling from court . i 'd better take it . whoever you are , you have great timing . tj : mol , it 's me . look , i need your help . [ scene_break ] jordan : well , did you get a hold of falconeri ? valerie : not yet , but i left him a message . jordan : all right , well , keep trying . i need to know what the hell happened to my son . [ scene_break ] tj : i 'm really sorry to dump this on you . molly : stop . i 'm on it , okay ? somehow we 'll figure this out . tj : okay . molly : i 'll talk to you soon , tj . tj : thanks , mol . ric : honey , what 's wrong ? molly : tj 's been arrested . [ scene_break ] franco : nina hates her mother , and for good reason . dr. obrecht : and she 's more than entitled to those feelings . but in this particular instance , you 'd be wise to ally yourself with magda . franco : why ? dr. obrecht : magda wants the family fortune , ja ? has been trying to pry it back from nina for decades . franco : ja , so ? dr. obrecht : so , if ric lansing is truly attempting to strip nina of her money , magda would do everything in her power to stop it . franco : the enemy of my enemy is my friend . i like that . dr. obrecht : precisely . franco : yeah , i like that a lot . there 's only one problem . dr. obrecht : what 's that ? franco : madeline is in prison . dr. obrecht : rendering her a captive audience . [ scene_break ] jake : i need something that does n't require , like , certification . you know , i do n't know , construction , something like that -- manual labor . elizabeth : [ gasps ] `` dog walker . `` right there . jake : are you serious ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jake : really ? okay . whoa , wait , go back . that one , right there . is that working for michael quartermaine ? [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm not really sure why we 're talking about sabrina right now . rosalie : it 's pretty obvious she does n't like me . michael : is it ? rosalie : although i 'm not sure why . unless ... michael : unless ? rosalie : never mind . forget it . michael : no , tell me . what were you gon na say ? rosalie : well , i just think that maybe the reason that i am not sabrina 's favorite person right now is because she 's jealous . michael : of you ? rosalie : of us . not that there is an `` us . `` michael : oh , well , there could 've been . rosalie : yeah , but you were n't interested , so ... michael : sorry , i -- i was n't interested ? rosalie : were you ? michael : you 're the one who wanted to put on the brakes . rosalie : i just figured , you know , once i started working for you ... michael : right . it would n't have been appropriate . rosalie : but now sabrina 's working for you , too , is n't she ? look , it 's no secret that we slept together . and now that you and sabrina are seeing each other ... you are seeing each other , right ? michael : it 's kind of new , but ... yeah . rosalie : i just think that maybe , however misguided , sabrina sees me as a threat . [ scene_break ] sabrina : unless you 're not taking on any new cases right now . sam : no , are you kidding me ? even if i was n't , i would absolutely make an exception for michael . sabrina : because of jason . okay . sam : yeah , okay . so ... what 's your story ? sabrina : what ? sam : it 's obvious that you and michael are , you know ? i mean , this is definitely not a part of your job description , and i saw the two of you getting close at the nurses ' ball . sabrina : yes , michael and i are seeing each other . sam : that 's great . sabrina : and very new . sam : that 's good . sabrina : yeah . i mean , i do n't know . we 're still trying to figure out the whole employer - employee/ boyfriend - girlfriend thing . sam : yeah . sabrina : it 's kind of -- sam : complicated . i get it . sabrina : yeah . sam : yeah . sabrina : michael 's worth it . and -- and i know how much elq means to him , and i would hate to see him lose the company . sam : i agree , and not just for michael 's sake , but danny 's , as well . the quartermaines are his family . sabrina : so , you 'll do it ? you 'll look into whatever 's going on at elq ? sam : [ sighs ] yes , of course . i just -- i do n't know where to start . sabrina : well , that 's easy . with rosalie 's secret . [ scene_break ] sloane : so , you have 43 1/2 % of elq ? nikolas : that 's correct . sloane : and if you were to have dillon quartermaine 's 11 1/2 , that would give you a majority -- pretty fortuitous he just showed up in port charles . nikolas : i 'm on top of the dillon situation , but it 's not a lock . in the event he ca n't be swayed , if i could get 6 1/2 % from either maya ward or brook lynn ashton ... sloane : that would give you an even 50 . you really have a way to get your hands on those shares ? nikolas : that 's where you come in . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i think elq does background checks on all their new employees . jake : yeah , i imagine that you 're right , but ... if i knew the ceo , maybe i can get around all that . elizabeth : you know michael ? like , well ? jake : um , i would n't say well . i 've met him . and when i did , i really liked him . you know , he just seems like a really great kid . elizabeth : he is . jason adored him . jake : yeah . it 's funny . when i met him , he kept going on and on about how much he loved his uncle . i did n't realize at the time he was talking about jason . elizabeth : oh . sounds like you guys got kind of personal . jake : mm - hmm . well [ clears throat ] it was the day that i insisted on climbing the hospital steps . elizabeth : `` i 'm king of the world ! `` jake : [ chuckles ] yeah . anyway , you got paged , and i was sure that i could make it back to my room . i found myself too tired to move , and i was ready to swallow my pride and ask an orderly for help , and there michael was . did n't know me at all . he was just ready to help . being kind . elizabeth : obviously , he made quite an impression on you . jake : yes . and we -- [ chuckles ] we discussed the trials and tribulations of tbi , which , in the case of getting a job , michael knows better than anybody else why i do n't have a social security card or an id , you know ? elizabeth : yeah , that 's true . but , i mean , you really want to go corporate ? does n't seem your speed . jake : oh - ho - ho ! i see what you 're getting at , and i would agree with you if i was applying for a stockbroker , but this is head of security . and i 'm pretty sure i can handle that . elizabeth : yeah . yeah , no , you definitely can . it sounds perfect , except for one thing . what about sonny ? [ scene_break ] michael : look , jealous or not , and i do n't think sabrina is , she 's not out to get you . rosalie : are you sure ? michael : yeah , that 's just not the kind of person she is . rosalie : if you say so . michael : i do say so . and what i say goes , right ? rosalie : well , you are the boss . michael : do n't you forget it . rosalie : [ chuckles ] michael : seriously , though , we 're cool ? rosalie : you tell me . i 'm not the one with questions . michael : neither am i , not anymore . look , i believe you , i do , and i 'm sorry about before . rosalie : do n't be . you were just looking out for your company . michael : so , erase this conversation from the books ? rosalie : done . michael : okay . now we need to focus on getting those missing shares back before someone takes over elq . [ scene_break ] nikolas : this is a dossier on maya ward and brook lynn ashton . i want you to find them . get one , or ideally both , to sign over their shares without it being traced back to me . sloane : oh , sure , that should be easy . nikolas : i 'll make it worth your while . i mean , come on , it has to be better than standing in the unemployment line , right ? what do you say ? [ scene_break ] sam : wait a second . back up . wait , you just said that rosalie has a secret ? sabrina : yeah . she told michael about it . well , not about it , you know , but the fact that one exists . apparently , that 's how nina got her to do all her dirty work . otherwise she would 've been out of there . or so rosalie says . sam : okay , wait a minute . so , nina is obviously the key to all this . she knows rosalie 's secret , and she knows what happened to the elq shares . sabrina : sam , i just realized . i 'm so sorry . sam : why ? sabrina : because nina -- because of everything that happened with her and with silas and with you . i mean , i 'm sure she 's the last person you want to deal with right now . sam : are you kidding me ? nina ? please . bring it on . [ scene_break ] ric : sweetheart , what did tj say ? molly : not much . i do n't even know what happened yet . just that he 's gon na need a lawyer . you 'll represent him , wo n't you ? ric : of course , i will . nina : of course , he will . ric : you know what ? i 'm gon na head down to the station right now . molly : i 'm coming with you . nina : okay , and i 'll just ... um ... hang here .

[ scene_break ] kate : i 'm not threatened by you . carly : you should be , because you do n't compare on any level . sonny and i will always be connected , and you 're just a bloodless trophy . kate : great . well , i can see we 're not going to get anywhere , so if you could please , please leave sonny alone . carly : you know what i think scares you the most ? that this thing that sonny and i have , that we 've always had , we felt it long before you ever came along . sonny 's hated me and loved me , sometimes both at the same time . kate : but he 's getting on with his life . carly : you 'll never make sonny as happy as i did . you will never make him as miserable as i did . hell , you ca n't even make him as angry as i make him right now . because you and sonny , you do n't share anything that 's lasting or deep . kate : he 's outgrown you , carly . carly : no , he has n't . or i would n't make you so insecure . kate : maybe you should be insecure . you know , you 're married to a wonderful husband who deserves better than you . carly : my marriage to jax has nothing to do with this . you will never be enough for sonny . kate : you do n't know what you 're talking about . carly : everyone can see how weak and clingy you are . how deluded you are , by thinking that sonny 's going to morph into the kind of man that you need . kate : it 's very simple , carly . i believe in sonny , and i believe he 's changing his life . carly : sonny does n't change . he 's selfish to the bone . and sooner or later -- i 'm betting sooner -- he 's going to see that you 're not the angel that 's going to heal all his wounds . you 're not the madonna in the designer dress . see , you 're a pathetic workaholic who will never satisfy him , in bed or anywhere else . kate : wow . you like to consider yourself quite the expert , do n't you ? but for all your bravado , you do n't know sonny at all . carly : want to bet ?

[ scene_break ] carly : sex with sonny and getting back together with him are two totally different things . one 's a possibility , the other will never happen . jason : why ? carly : because michael is in a permanent coma because i could n't stay away from sonny . i mean , after i married jax , i was still caught up in sonny 's life , and michael 's paid the price for it . jason : it 's a lot more complicated than that , carly . carly : i know . i know that , you know , i know that we 've all made mistakes and we 've all made choices -- stupid , selfish , arrogant choices . assuming that we could keep michael safe , assuming that the craziness and the fighting would n't get to him , and we were wrong . so the only thing i can change from now on is how -- how i handle things in the future . jason : that 's exactly right . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey . patrick : hey . elizabeth : i do n't mean to interfere . patrick : but ? elizabeth : but clearly you are not thinking straight . patrick : well , i 'm sure you 're going to tell me what i 'm not thinking straight about . elizabeth : do you have any idea how many parents are out there who would kill to be with their children ? men and women being shipped off to war , parents losing custody , and then there 's you . patrick : i know . elizabeth : you 're letting your fear win . your fear of commitment , your fear of settling down , your fear of responsibility . patrick : maybe that 's not true , elizabeth , maybe i 'm just genuinely not ready to be a father . either way , i 'm giving robin what she wants , but she wo n't let me close . elizabeth : then figure it out , because you are giving up the opportunity , the privilege , to raise your child with the woman you love . i know men who would pay any price to have what you are throwing away . patrick : robin is determined to do this on her own . elizabeth : it does n't mean she wants to , it does n't mean she has to . [ scene_break ] carly : do you realize you just talked me out of having sex with sonny ? jason : no , i did n't . carly : well , fine , you got me to talk myself out of it , which i suppose is more effective . i know that it is better for morgan and me to stay away from sonny , i know that . and i know i should let him live in his fantasy world with kate , but god , i 'd like to make her pay and just stick it in her face . i almost feel sorry for him , when i 'm not furious with him . jason : maybe sonny has to get through this any way he can . we all do . [ scene_break ] jax : there 's no skill involved . i enjoy the company of women , that 's all . spinelli : yes , as do i , but my ardor is rarely returned . and when it is , as in the case with wise georgie , i am too blind to see what 's right in front of me . but you , you 're an artist , you 're refined and highly skilled . jax : no , there 's no skill involved . spinelli : look , have you ever -- have you ever battled in the face of the one you love ? have you ever thought you were making progress with a fair lady only to realize that she is a courtesan or a sister of sappho ? have you ever made a bold and fearless move , only to be accused of despoiling not a well experienced maiden but a sample of haute couture ? jax : no , not -- i do n't think so . look , spinelli , if you just be yourself -- spinelli : no , no , myself is n't good enough . but my heart wo n't give up , it wo n't understand why everyone else can have love except i , the jackal . jax : are you in love with anyone in particular ? spinelli : indeed , but she ca n't see it . even though i would make any sacrifice to be with her , i would gladly change any part of my life to win her favor . if i could just , if i could just transform to be the kind of man that she desires , i would -- i would willingly give up all that i am to become who she wants me to be . jax : all right , all right , i 'll help . spinelli : huzzah . jax : okay , do n't use that word . spinelli : oh . jax : okay , and another thing you need to know -- above all else , love 's a gamble .

[ clears throat ] excuse me . would it be possible for me to question brianna hughes ? patrick : yeah . may i ask why the d.a . is involved ? alexis : because we have a maid who believes she may have heard the accident at the metro court , or a struggle . patrick : okay , well , brianna is not ready to talk yet . robin and i just were conferring , and we need to run more tests . alexis : some concern that you have ? patrick : the head injury is a lot more serious than the circumstances suggest . alexis : excuse me . i agreed to keep this whole sordid episode under the radar for reasons that you and i are both aware of . but that does not and will not extend to covering up assault . mayor floyd : assault ? what are you talking about ? brianna was n't assaulted . alexis : well , garrett , according to the doctors , the head injury tells another story . so why do n't you go through this again from the top , and this time , do n't leave anything out . [ scene_break ] jax : now , why would you say something mean like that ? you do n't think i 'm excited that michael 's coming home ? carly : yes , yes , i know you are . i just -- i just wish we would have put that pool in . you know , if we would have put that pool in , michael could use it . i keep thinking about everything he would want or need and that would really help him with his physical therapy . jax : there 's a pool at the new house . and he can use the one at the hotel in the meantime , so -- carly : i just want him to have everything he wants right here and right now . a lot to make up for . and not that i can give him back the year that he lost , but it would just be nice to -- did i tell you we were going to be skydiving out of an airplane ? except that we 're not really going to be using parachutes . the airplane is just going to dangle us outside the windows and just drop us anywhere . did i tell you that ? jax : sounds good . carly : jax . jax : what ? carly : what is going on with you ? you 've been , like , half here all day . jax : i 'm trying -- reading the instruction manual . morgan : is michael coming home today ?

[ scene_break ] claudia : tears of joy . doctor lee just told me that the baby and i are going to be fine even though carly chucked us down a flight of stairs . it 's a miracle . i think i 'm going to go to the pcpd and press charges against her . sonny : no , just let it be . claudia : if i threw carly and her baby down a flight of stairs , would you let it be ? sonny : we do n't know exactly what happened . you get what i 'm saying ? claudia : mm - hmm . when in doubt , believe carly . sonny : i 'm not going to do this right here . how soon can you set up the amnio ? kelly : i 'd say august . sonny : okay , book it . kelly : it 's really not necessary to schedule -- sonny : can you -- can you just humor me ? because i -- i need to know as soon as possible if i 'm the father of this baby . [ scene_break ] robin : the mayor looks like he just threw up in his mouth . patrick : well , he 's got a lot to worry about . not only was he busted cheating on his wife , but the woman he was with could be seriously injured . mayor floyd : i freely admit to having an assignation with brianna . i assure you it was consensual . brianna and i are very much involved . alexis : that 's real sweet , garrett . how 's your wife feel about that ? mayor floyd : you know very well the problems i 've had with my wife . nothing 's changed . so , yes , brianna and i were in an embrace in the shower . it got athletic . she hit her head . it was very painful . brianna thought acetaminophen would help , so i went down to the gift store , i got some . when i came back , she was unconscious . alexis : that story is not going to work , garrett , because her head injury is too severe . you need to tell me exactly what happened , and you need to know that i 'm not covering up an assault charge . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the glacial one 's shenanigans offend my moral balance . just because she owns the magazine does n't mean she should be allowed to wreak havoc on it . maxie : but if not kate , then who ? or is it whom ? spinelli : i 'm sorry , i do n't understand . lulu : i do n't understand , either . whose side are you on ? maxie : spinelli 's , of course . but , i mean , why own a magazine if you ca n't do whatever you want with it ? i guess that 's besides the point . if spinelli thinks kate should be outed as the hypocritical thief that she is , then i agree with him . it 's outrageous . who undermines their own creation , and why ? lulu : you 're deciding to go with moral indignation now , when our jobs are on the line ? maxie : sometimes you have to be willing to sacrifice for the greater good , right spinelli ? spinelli : right as rain , maximista . lulu : oh , my goodness . okay , this is not a comic book strip where the hero shows up in the nick of time to right injustice . yeah , this is the real world . we have a real job . it makes us real money , and we really like it . it puts a roof over our head and designer fashion in your closet . are you really ready to sacrifice that just for the pleasure of sticking it to kate ? maxie : how selfish are you , lulu ? this is n't about us . this is spinelli 's first real case , and it 's not some mid - life crisis schlub cheating on his wife , either . it 's a high - profile case that will get mccall and jackal , p.i . a lot of press , and they 'll probably be turning away clients . lulu : yeah , well , i would love it for spinelli to kick off his career in a big and splashy way . maybe it is selfish , but at the end of the day , yeah , i think i would like to still have a job . maxie : i have many shoes . and if i do n't have a job , where am i going to wear them ? lulu : oh , that 's easy . actually , at the unemployment office . you can stand in them for a really long time in one unending line after another . i doubt that they 'll actually have some fashion industry gigs up for grabs . but you could sell newspapers with spinelli 's headline blaring -- oh , wait , that 's not going to work either , because the newspapers are n't hiring . they 're too busy hanging on by a thread . maxie : all right , i get your point . kate : oh , wow . i do love walking in to find my assistants hard at work .

[ scene_break ] morgan : jax is so cool . he really went out to get michael his own fridge ? carly : yeah , i hope he gets a small one . you know how jax can overdo everything . and i do n't want you to think we 're playing favorites with michael . he needs the fridge so he does n't struggle going downstairs to get water . or in his case , soda . morgan : i get it . we have to do everything we can to make things easier for michael . i 'm just glad he 's coming home . carly : you miss your brother , do n't you ? morgan : a lot . carly : get it , get it , get it , get it . [ explosion sound effect ] morgan : yes ! carly : you know , come here . i want to tell you something . i counted on you a whole bunch the whole time michael was lost , and i want you to know that you came through . you did . you were wonderful . and you were brave in a very scary time . and i just want to thank you for that , morgan . morgan : it 's okay . carly : and you know , jax is right when he says we 're going to need some adjustment time . we 're going to have to learn to live together all over again . but that 's okay . michael is back , and we 're all going to be together , and we 're going to be a family . morgan : what if michael is so different that he does n't like me anymore ? carly : what ? hey , you 've been around michael . does it seem like he does n't like you ? morgan : no . carly : there you go . your big brother loves you , you know ? and you guys are going to be even closer after this . morgan : i ca n't wait until michael is all better . he 's going to teach me how to drive . carly : that 's going to be some trick , since he does n't even know how to drive himself . morgan : he 's old enough to learn . michael already said he 's getting a car . that way he can drive back and forth whenever he wants to . carly : well , i guess i 'm going to have to cross that bridge when i get to it . [ scene_break ] jason : michael is in trouble . sonny : what ? what happened ? jason : i found him in his room at the hospital . he was throwing things . he was yelling at elizabeth . and he punched me . sonny : he hit you ? jason : yeah , it 's fine . i calmed him down . i did whatever i could to reassure him . but he 's got some major self - control issues . sonny : do you think it 's okay for him to live with carly ? because i do n't want him going off on her and morgan . jason : i think that he hit me because i 'm a safe place for him to take his aggression out . but he did n't touch elizabeth . he was violently angry enough to convince me there was reason to worry . [ scene_break ] johnny : hey . your message sounded frantic . what 's going on ? claudia : i think i have a dead baby inside me . you 're probably happy about that . johnny : why would you say something like that to me ? claudia : i do n't know . did you forget ? i sure as hell did n't forget . you thought i sprouted a tail and horns for getting pregnant in the first place . well , do n't worry , john . you got your wish . the mob wo n't have another little child to damage , and ric wo n't have a baby to worry about and cause trouble for whether it 's his or not his . johnny : claudia , back up . are you sure the baby is dead ? claudia : dr. lee could n't find a heartbeat . sonny came in . i started doing that whole lying - covering thing that i do so well . i told him everything was fine and i left with him , as if he cared . all he cared about was how soon i could have an amniocentesis to establish the paternity of the child . it will be ironic when he realizes that that wo n't be necessary . [ scene_break ] alexis : for someone who is about to be a daddy , you do n't seem very happy . jax : hey . yeah , well , it 's not easy keeping secrets from my wife while the person who should be in jail gets to happily build a new life . alexis : you had a valid reason for letting jerry go . jax : yeah , i thought so at the time . alexis : you were trying to protect your wife and your baby - to - be , and that can be considered noble . jax : i just want the children living under my roof to have a realistic understanding of who they can trust and who they ca n't . alexis : why does it sound to me like you 're referring to someone other than jerry jax : what makes you say that ? alexis : because jerry is gone , and he 's not influencing anyone under your roof . and maybe it 's just a notion -- was someone else involved in michael 's shooting ? [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , i get that kate at unfair , but that 's a tradeoff for having this job . you love this job . you 've said before that this is the only thing that you 've done right . maxie : that was before spinelli , and he 's taught me to have faith in myself and trust my unique thing that i bring to the table . i mean , if i was able to impress kate enough to get this job , then i 'll probably impress her replacement enough to keep . and you , too . we 're kind of like a package deal . lulu : right . but that 's the part that you 're not getting . if he exposes kate and she gets replaced , any good editor - in - chief will come in with their new assistants , okay ? if you want to stay in fashion , you 'll probably have to move to manhattan or london or paris . spinelli : is that true ? maxie : pretty much . lulu : wow , this is monumental . maxie jones is willing to give up something important to support someone else . i am so happy for you , spinelli . you have accomplished the impossible . but if you care about maxie , which i know you do , you will drop this , because this is not good for anybody here . kate : oh , mr. jackal , i see you 're still here . lulu , let 's go . maxie , while i 'm gone , i 'd like you to research a new office chair . i 'd like to see 30 examples , different ones , waiting on my desk when we return . come on , lulu . spinelli : maybe lulu is right . better the devil you know than the one you do n't . maxie : right . well , i want the devil i know gone . so keep digging , and we 're going to get whatever information we can on kate so we can blow her out of the water .

[ scene_break ] alexis : listen , you and i are on really thin ice for not turning jerry in when we had the chance . jax : yeah . alexis : if there is someone else involved in michael 's shooting , if jerry had a partner , i want to know . jax : no , there 's no one else . i mean , besides ian devlin , jerry acted alone . alexis : keeping secrets can be painful . i know that . my family was built on them . but sometimes , a secret is necessary . sometimes it 's noble . and you 're doing this out of love for your family . so that 's understandable . but if you tell carly now to ease your own conscience , then you 're doing it at her expense . and i do n't think you really want to do that , do you ? jax : carly and the baby mean everything to me . i 'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe .

[ phone rings ] sonny : hello . michael : hi , dad . sonny : how you doing , buddy ? how you feeling ? michael : like an idiot . i did something really stupid today . i lost my temper , starting yelling , throwing things . i even hit jason . sonny : yeah , i heard . michael : i 'm really scared , dad . what if it happens at mom 's ? please , can i just come live with you ?

kristina : what are you doing ? why are you filming me ? nothing 's happening . it 's reality tv . you wait long enough , something will . ewen : do n't keep me in suspense . will i be getting out of here anytime soon ? patrick : well , i would love to send you home , uh , but with the back load of charts on your desk , looks like you 're gon na have to stick around and work for a while . elizabeth : you 're discharging him ? patrick : you 're a free man , dr. keenan . maxie : mac ? mom ? mac : never could get a minute to ourselves . what happened ? maxie : [ voice breaking ] my marriage is over before it even began . olivia : if we keep running out of it , it means that people like it ! spinelli : uh , is this a bad time ? olivia : you know what ? i 've only been here a couple hours . i 'm already ready to kill someone . sorry . spinelli : well , perhaps this will turn things around . have a lead on heather webber 's whereabouts the night of the storm . heather : it 's a pity . franco was so gifted , so special . i 'm sure his child would have been , too . unfortunately , jason 's the father . on the bright side , i 'm the only one who knows . steven : knows what ? jason : you said i could -- i could love the baby because he was a part of you . you were right . it did n't matter that he was n't mine biologically . i was gon na promise to , uh , love your son and be his father . that 's -- that 's what i wanted to tell you . sam : really ? because you said that -- [ sniffles ] me having this baby would be a constant reminder of franco and what he did to me and how you could n't protect me . jason : i know . that -- that was n't right . i was -- it was my -- it was my issue . sam : what changed ? why are you saying this now ? alice the cat is about to explore . mac : matt turned himself in ? maxie : yeah , to dante . i tried to talk him out of it , but did he listen to me ? no . he just went on and on about how -- how he ca n't live with himself unless he takes responsibility . mac : it sounds like he 's doing the right thing . maxie : no , matt 's throwing his life away ! not just his -- his life . i mean , our life . mac : look , i know this is n't what you wanted for matt -- maxie : no , you have to do something , okay ? i mean , sure , you 're not police commissioner anymore , but every single cop in that building , including dante , owes you their job . ca n't you just lose matt 's statement or something ? mac : lose it ? maxie : yeah , just , i do n't know . run it through a paper shredder or -- or put it in the wrong file so it 's like it never happened . mac : sweetheart , listen , what you 're suggesting , it 's called obstruction of justice . felicia : that 's right . you ca n't cover up one crime by committing another one . maxie : well , i know is , if matt signs that statement , then they 're gon na put him away , and all this will have been for nothing . alexis : you realize once you do that there 's no going back . matt : it 's done now , so -- so , what happens now ? do they take me straight to lockup -- alexis : you get your affairs in order . matt : they took this from me when they arrested me . alexis : i arranged for you to get it back , so you have a limited time . make the most of it while i go talk to the d.a . and try to get your sentence reduced even if i could n't keep you out of jail . matt : will he consider that ? alexis : the fact that you married maxie so she would n't be able to testify against you did n't make you any friends in the d.a . 's office . on the other hand , they 're motivated to make this case go away as soon as possible , so hopefully that will work to your benefit , and i will do the best that i can . [ door opens ] ewen : patrick , i ca n't thank you enough for saving my life . patrick : oh , thank this one . and epiphany and -- and matt for not giving up on me when i 'd clearly given up on myself . elizabeth : everyone grieves in their own way . patrick : yeah . i guess that 's true . just some ways are a little more destructive than others . i was n't much good for anybody after robin died , but , uh -- [ cell phone ringing ] patrick : but that is gon na change . and speaking of family , that 's my brother , matt . ewen : you should get it . patrick : okay . elizabeth : oh , and , patrick ? patrick : yes ? elizabeth : hey , thanks for doing everything you can for ewen . patrick : absolutely . [ door opens , closes ] patrick : hey , little brother . how 's married life ? spinelli : uh , so , i - i ran a trace on your car 's e - zpass , um , and the night that heather was driving it , your -- your pass was scanned on the highway near exit 11 . olivia : okay , so not only did she steal my car , now i 'm gon na get charged for a freakin ' toll , too ? spinelli : yeah , i - i guess so . sorry . [ chuckles ] olivia : heather said that she needed to go for her 950 millionth stupid blt at kelly 's . i swear , you would think that someone that ate that much cholesterol would just drop dead from a heart attack . spinelli : you have to admit the blt at kelly 's is -- is pretty astounding . olivia : not when they 're closed , which they were by the time she got there . so she went to the floating rib for a drink . okay , now , if you 're going from kelly 's to the floating rib , the highway 's in the completely other direction . am i right ? spinelli : which means she was most likely lying about her whereabouts . olivia : so , where the hell did heather really go that night ? heather : [ sighs ] steven lars , you should n't sneak up on people like that , especially at a hospital . you never know who might have a weak heart . steven : weak is not a word i 'd use to describe you or your heart . what 's that ? heather : oh , it 's just a brochure . i 'm thinking of taking some classes to broaden my horizons . steven : what are you doing here ? heather : well , i came to see you . do n't worry . i took a cab . i would n't dare borrow olivia 's car after the way she overreacted when i dared to drive myself to the floating rib to get a drink . steven : okay . you should have never borrowed olivia 's car without permission . second , you should n't leave the apartment without a chaperone , much less go to a bar for a drink . heather : enough about me . how 's your day ? steven : [ sighs ] well , i 'm afraid i have some bad news . sam morgan lost her baby . heather : why is that bad ? steven : a child is dead . do n't you find that sad ? heather : well , of course i do . i 'm just not sure sam does . i read in the paper that the baby she was carrying was franco 's . i do n't think she was very happy about that . steven : i 'm sure she was devastated no matter who the baby 's father was . jason : you just kept asking me if i could -- if i could love the baby . sam : yeah , and you kept saying no . jason : i did n't -- i do n't know , sam . i do n't know how i was gon na feel with everything that was going on with franco a - and the fact that i - i could n't get past it , and i did n't want to make you any promises that i could n't keep . and -- and then you left . and i -- and i let you , and you wanted to talk on -- on your birthday , and you wanted me to come to a childbirth class , and i just -- i - i could n't . okay ? it was not fair for me to shut you out . that 's why i came to the motel . just tell you that i 'm sorry . sam : no matter how much it hurts to hear you say that you could not love my baby , it hurts that much more to have you stand there and lie to me . kristina : trey , what took you so long ? trey : it 's just a little thing called grad school , you know ? still in it until `` mob princess `` gets picked up . so , hey , darling , tell me what was so sensitive that you could n't tell me over the phone , huh ? kristina : i do n't want to do the show anymore . trey : [ chuckles ] kristina . princess . hey , look , show 's already begun production , all right ? financing 's finally in place . you ca n't back out now . kristina : i 'm sorry . i just ca n't have the cameras around all the time . it 's too much . trey : hey , look , everybody says that when the shooting starts , all right ? you think the -- the kids from jersey were comfortable in front of the cameras right away ? kristina : yes . trey : [ chuckles ] okay . trust me . give it a day or two . i promise you , you wo n't even know they 're there . kristina : they should n't be here , not with everything my family 's going through . trey : hey , look , family turmoil makes for really good tv , okay ? do n't you want the audience to -- kristina : you do n't understand . my sister lost her baby . jason : what you and i have -- our marriage , it 's worth fighting for . that 's why i came to the hotel . i wanted you -- i wanted you to come home with me , sam . sam : are you sure you were n't there for another reason , jason ? jason : what -- what other reason ? sam : to send john mcbain a message . yeah , a nurse came in here and told me that he came in to get his ribs taped . he would n't admit it , but it was obvious that he was badly beaten . and that 's why he left me and my son stranded at that motel . that 's why he could n't take us to the hospital , because you made sure he could n't . kristina : [ voice breaking ] the baby died right after he was born . my sister 's devastated . when i went to go see her in the hospital , it just looked like she 'd been crying for hours . trey : did you guys get this on camera ? she would n't let us . kristina : what was i supposed to do ? let him in my sister 's hospital room so he could get a close - up on her grief ? that 's disgusting ! trey : that 's reality , okay ? kristina : my sister is going through hell ! she should be allowed to grieve in private . trey : hey . hey . nothing 's private . that 's the deal we made . your entire life on camera . kristina : exactly . my life , not sam 's . trey : okay , look , `` mob princess `` is supposed to give the viewers an inside look as to what it 's like growing up in the mob . there 's no show if we do n't feature your family . you knew that going in . kristina : i thought the focus would be on my dad . he 's the mob part of `` mob princess . `` trey : and it will be on him , okay , and his business partner , also known as the enforcer , who also happens to be married to your sister . kristina : this is not what i wanted . trey : really ? come on . you remember that girl i met back at the diner , huh ? the one that helped me come up with this concept in the first place ? she was all about it , remember ? she was spunky and -- and excited and character traits that our audience is gon na love ! kristina : i was pissed off at my parents . trey : and why was that ? because they humiliated you . right ? or have a few lame apologies made you forget the fact that your father threatened the dean so that you could get into yale ? or that your mom , the supposed upright attorney , went along with it ? kristina : of course i had n't forgotten . trey : okay . good . then hey , let 's use this as a way to pay your parents back for what they did . kristina , your mom and dad did n't think that you were smart enough to get into yale on your own . kristina : i did n't get in . i was wait - listed . trey : and they just could n't accept that , could they ? no . they were ashamed of you . so they stacked the deck in your favor , and now everyone knows . do n't you want to pay them back ? come on . matt : patrick . you came . patrick : you mind telling me why i 'm meeting you at a police station ? matt : i confessed . i told -- i - i -- patrick : did n't you marry maxie so this -- did n't you marry maxie so this would n't happen , matt ? matt : yeah , i did . i did . i did . it just turns out i ca n't live with the guilt . patrick : there 's nothing to be guilty about ! matt : i killed someone . it was n't an accident . i - i - i picked up a wrench and i - i cracked lisa across the face with it . it 's as simple as that . and -- and i took an oath , you know -- patrick : oh , come on . do n't -- do n't give me that ! you know who else took that oath ? lisa took that oath ! and she tried to kill robin , she tried to kill spinelli , she kidnapped emma ! you did the world a favor when you killed lisa ! matt : i know ! i know ! i -- i 'm just trying to do the right thing here , okay ? patrick : uh , you know what ? and -- and i can respect that , i guess , but i just -- i do n't want to lose you because of it . matt : i do n't want to lose you or emma , either , okay ? patrick : i just do n't want to lose my brother because of it . [ door opens ] alexis : i just spoke with the d.a . patrick : what 'd they say ? ewen : thanks for stopping by my place . it feels so good to be in my own clothes again . elizabeth : absolutely . it was not problem . i 'm glad i could help . ewen : once i get my -- elizabeth : easy , easy . i got you . i got you . steven : okay , i understand you want to spend some time with me , but i have rounds . heather : i understand . you 're a brilliant doctor . i would never get in the way of your work . i 'll just see you at home . steven : uh , actually , i - i - i do n't want you to leave unsupervised . i have a lunch break coming up . heather : blts at kelly 's ? steven : maybe . right now , i need to get back to work , so you need to stay right here . and do n't go slipping off to visit anyone , okay ? i need to know i can trust you . heather : i was hoping you already did . steven : [ sighs ] that was before you took off on the night of the storm . heather : look , olivia really overreacted -- steven : do n't make this about olivia . i 'm responsible for you . i need to know where you are . so , stay here and do n't get into trouble . heather : what possible trouble could i get into here ? certainly no more trouble than i 've already caused . sam : did you send someone to beat up john , or did you do it yourself ? jason : i had two guys give him a warning . sam : you had him so badly beaten , he could n't come back for me and my baby ! jason : sam , i wanted him out of the way . he was just gon na be a problem . sam : no , jason ! john was not the problem ! he was never the problem ! it was you ! you could n't love my baby , and instead of admitting it , you had those men beat him up to punish him for helping me ! jason : i tried to call it off ! it was too late ! sam : too late for what , jason ? ! it was too late for john ! and it was too late for my baby . ewen : i guess my legs are a little wobblier than i thought . elizabeth : it 's okay . things like this happen when , you know , you 've been confined to a bed for weeks . [ chuckles ] ewen : i 'd be looking at a few more if you had n't caught me . weeks , that is . heather : [ thinking ] some might call what i did playing god . i see it as righting a wrong . heather : you 're questioning whether you did the right thing . you think i might be certifiable . steven : i did n't say that . heather : did samantha morgan say something to you ? olivia : sam ? what does she have to do with any of this ? heather : [ thinking ] sam has everything to do with it , olivia . she threatened to turn my son against me . sam : if you breathe a word of this to jason before i am ready to tell him -- heather : you 'll what ? sam : i will have a little conversation with steven and let him know that you sold your cousin 's baby just like you sold him . heather : steven knows i 'm not perfect . sam : oh , there 's imperfect and then there 's you , heather . i mean , i would hate for something to come out to change steven 's opinion of you . he is the one keeping you out of ferncliff . heather : [ thinking ] a mother would do anything to protect her child . if samantha did n't know that , it 's time she learned . olivia : okay , heather used the e - zpass out by exit 11 . that 's right by the -- the rendezvous motel . what the hell would she be doing all the way out there ? spinelli : well , perhaps she had a rendezvous of her own . olivia : oh , spare me the visual . she just got released from a facility for the criminally insane . spinelli , who 's gon na get involved in someone who is legitimately certifiable ? spinelli : well , it happens all the time with high - profile criminals a - and killers . you know , the -- the people correspond with letters , they form an attachment , sometimes even fall in love . olivia : i understand maybe a prisoner , but a mental patient ? i mean , i guess every pot 's got a lid . spinelli : certainly , and -- you know , maybe it 's actually safer than a real relationship . olivia : not really seeing your logic there . spinelli : by picking a person whose movements are restricted by either a prison or institution , there 's little chance of losing their affections to another . felicia : where are you going ? maxie : we got to go to the police station ! we got to -- we got to say something to matt before it 's too late . [ gasps ] you 're free . matt : not exactly . maxie : [ gasps ] alexis : really ? kristina . trey : you must be kristina 's mother . alexis : who are you ? trey : i 'm -- i 'm trey . kristina : trey 's the producer i told you about . alexis : right . the grad student . i 'm sorry . `` genius `` who came up with the `` mob princess `` concept ? trey : well , i could n't have done it without the help of your brilliant daughter here . alexis : well , you 're gon na have to do it without her because i want you and your crew off this property pronto . you 're trespassing . trey : actually , um , this here says that you and your family are fair game . heather : [ thinking ] we had a deal , sam . if you had just given steven lars my letter like i asked , all of this could have been avoided -- the threats , the hurt feelings , the need for revenge . dr. lee . you wanted to know as soon as samantha morgan 's paternity - test results were in . i 'm going off duty , but i left the results for you in an envelope . stop by anytime to pick them up . heather : [ thinking ] how could anyone pass up an opportunity like that ? i certainly could n't . sam : my son died of respiratory failure . did you know that ? jason : no . sam : [ voice breaking ] he could n't breathe . [ sniffles ] jason : sam -- sam : kelly said that if i would have got him to the hospital in time , she would have been able to put him on a ventilator and he might have lived and he might be in my arms right now . when i was at the hotel room , i kept telling my son that john was gon na come back for us and that he was gon na take us to the hospital , but he never came back , jason . and now my son is gone . and i thought it was john 's fault . but it was n't . it was your fault . you 're the reason why my baby died . whoa . [ door opens ] [ knock on door ] steven : ewen , i was just checking to -- sorry . hey , sis . elizabeth : hey . is there something you want ? steven : uh , i 'm on rounds . why ? is there something you want ? elizabeth : you to leave is at the top of my list . steven : uh , not until i check on the patient . how you doing , dr. keenan ? ewen : just fine , dr. webber . steven : good . good . is there , uh , anything either i or -- or nurse webber here can do for you ? medically speaking ? ewen : i think we got it covered . steven : clearly . well , i 'm glad you 're doing better . ewen : thanks . steven : nurse webber . elizabeth : okay , get out . go on . get out . i 'm going to kill you . get out . [ sighs ] i am never gon na live that down . ewen : i 'm sorry . i - it 's -- it 's my fault . elizabeth : no , he likes to , uh , tease me , and he 'll do it forever . ewen : no , it was presumptuous of me to kiss you like that . trey : it 's a , uh , legally binding contract signed by your daughter . alexis : troy -- trey : it 's trey . alexis : whatever . you recall in your dramatis personae that i 'm an attorney ? trey : a mob attorney , no less . alexis : i provide counsel for a coffee importer , among a long list of clientele . mob attorneys represent criminals who hire professionals to cement the feet of their enemies before they drop them into water occupied by hungry fish . i saw that on tv once . trey : okay , look , i 'm sure you 'll find that it 's actually pretty straightforward . kristina granted us access to her home and every facet of her life . the simple fact is , you ca n't kick the cameras out because we have the legal right to be here . alexis : well , the truth is , kristina does n't own this home . i do . so , she does n't have the authority to grant you or anyone else access to this home , to this property , to the air above it . trey : yeah , well , that 's for a judge to decide now . alexis : fine by me . would you like to let me know who your attorney is ? trey : you really want to take me to court ? alexis : no , i want you and your crew off this property and away from my daughter . she only signed this contract to make a point . point 's been made . trey : still , she signed it , okay ? so , if she backs out of production now , we can sue her for everything she 's worth . kristina : you 'd do that ? alexis : i 'll see you in court . trey : look , we 've got contracts to fulfill , okay ? i 've got a crew i 've got to pay , which i wo n't be able to do if the show 's not in production . alexis : none of this is my daughter 's problem . this contract is n't worth the paper that it 's written on . she had no idea what she was signing . trey : and why is that ? 'cause she was too stupid , hmm ? like she was too stupid to get into yale without the help of you and her mob father ? alexis : that is not what i meant . trey : yeah , well , that 's what she said , okay ? do you see this ? you see what she 's trying to do to you here ? she 's trying to tell you how to run your life , kristina . you gon na let her do that ? jason : when -- when i sent those men , i had -- i had no idea that you were in labor , that you were having a baby in mcbain 's room , sam . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . sam : i do n't think you are . jason : i am . i 'm sorry for everything -- for everything you 've been through . i 'm sorry for everything you 've lost . sam : jason -- jason : and worst of all , i 'm sorry that your son died . sam : you said that you could n't love him . i mean , do n't -- do n't you think that i had questions and doubts ? i was raped . i was the one who got pregnant . do you have any idea how that affected me ? jason : sam , i -- sam : what , jason ? all that mattered to me that -- that was , in the end , i did n't care how the baby was conceived . i did n't . all i cared about was i was finally gon na be a mother . and i was gon na love this baby with everything i had , and you were n't . you wanted me to give the baby up for adoption , jason . you wanted me to give -- you wanted me to give him away . [ voice breaking ] well , now the baby 's gone , jason . so we do n't have to do that . congratulations . you got exactly what you wanted . heather : [ thinking ] sam made my own son doubt me . she could have ruined my chance to have a real relationship with steven lars , my one shot at happiness , so i did what any mother would have done . i returned the favor , and i ruined any chance sam had at happiness . all it took was a few keystrokes . spinelli : i 'll see what else i can uncover about heather 's whereabouts or who she may have been meeting with that night . olivia : thanks , spinelli . i 'm sure you got a lot better things to do than keeping tabs on steve 's mother . spinelli : i welcome the distraction . anything to keep my mind off of maxie . olivia : that 's right . i 'm sorry , honey . it 's got to be really tough to watch the woman you love marry someone else . maxie : look , i know standing trial is scary , but alexis is a great lawyer , and if anyone can get you acquitted , it 's her . i mean , especially since you did n't sign that stupid confession . matt : i did sign it . maxie : what ? matt : i had to . there is no way that i was just gon na go on living with the guilt in knowing that i killed niles . felicia : matt , if you confessed , why did they let you go ? patrick : alexis had a little chat with the d.a . mac : they offered you a deal ? matt : yeah . five years . i have to report to pentonville immediately . maxie : [ gasps ] matt : i just came to say goodbye . maxie : [ gasps ] ( laughs ) elizabeth : wait , so you 're sorry you kissed me ? ewen : well , i could blame my behavior on my brain injury , but since patrick just gave me a clean bill of health , that must mean i 'm thinking clearly . and right before we kissed , i thought we were having -- kind of a moment , sort of . unless i misread it . elizabeth : well , why would you think that ? ewen : i mean , i 've -- i 've been out of commission for a while , and -- you -- you 're a beautiful , intelligent woman , and i would -- i would understand if you had someone else in your life right now . elizabeth : no . there 's no one . ewen : no ? elizabeth : no . and you did n't misread anything . maxie : why are you just standing there ? do something . patrick : i 'm supporting my brother . maxie : do something constructive , okay ? tell matt that he ca n't do this . tell him he ca n't send himself to prison , that he 's making this huge mistake , that you need him in your life , which you do . patrick : maxie , he did n't come to this decision easily . maxie : i mean , you do , right ? you need him at the hospital . i mean , he 's a brilliant surgeon . patrick : yes , he 's a brilliant surgeon . of course he is . maxie : tell him that he 's just as good as you are , patrick . that 's all he 's ever wanted to here . tell him that he 's equal with you , that he measures up . tell him that you need him in the o.r . and make him believe and then -- patrick : maxie , he is listening to his conscience , all right ? i have to respect that . maxie : god , forget his conscience , patrick . you need to respect his surgical skills , okay ? maybe then you can convince him to -- to , i do n't know , just give up or -- or at least recant his confession . patrick : this is his choice . if you love him , you wo n't fight him on it . matt : i 'm sorry for all the problems that i caused your daughter . felicia : you did n't mean it . mac : thanks for coming forward and doing the right thing . matt : i should probably get going , actually , 'cause patrick 's gon na take me to see emma so i can say bye before i have to go -- to pentonville . hi . maxie : hi . matt : i know you 're angry . but you got to understand , okay ? i had to do this . maxie : no , you did n't ! matt : yes , i did . listen to me . listen . alexis is gon na handle the annulment , all right ? maxie : what did you just say ? matt : i confessed . there 's not gon na be a trial . hey . hey . there is no need for us to be married now . okay ? spinelli : maxie ? maxie , what happened ? maxie : [ sobs ] alexis : i happen to believe that you are intelligent enough to know that is trying to provoke a fight so that he will have something to promote . trey : you really think your daughter 's that easy to manipulate ? alexis : you have more integrity in your pinky than this sleaze monger will ever have . trey : okay , i 'm not a sleaze monger . alexis : you are trying to take advantage of our personal tragedy for your ratings . what would you call it ? trey : compelling television . alexis : well , i 'm sure that you and your audience will find a beach house full of overly tan 20-somethings whose sole purpose in life is to hook up or pass out . equally compelling . trey : look , i 'm not interested in imitating what 's out there , okay ? kristina 's story -- alexis : kristina 's sister just lost her baby . trey : and we will handle that with the utmost respect and sensitivity . alexis : really ? because you have yet to offer one word of condolence to me for losing my grandchild . you tell me how that 's respectful or that shows any sensitivity at all . get out of my way . i know that you are disappointed in your father and me . i get that , so take it out on us , not sam . she did n't do anything . do not let him exploit her grief for his ratings . trey : you see -- you see what she 's doing there ? she 's trying to tell you what to think . she 's trying to tell you how to feel there . i do n't know . i think you 're a grown adult , kristina . you can probably make your own decisions . so , what 's it gon na be ?

[ scoffs ] yeah , maybe when hell freezes over . we hate each other . nikolas : yes , i know . you told tracy the same thing in new york when she confronted you about it . unfortunately for you ... she recorded that conversation and eventual confession . and guess what . i now have that recording . aj : yeah , i just ran into elizabeth . she did n't say -- nikolas : she does n't know . and i 'm not gon na tell her , even though i know it 'll probably break you two up . aj : what 's the catch ? nikolas : no , there 's no catch . there 's no catch . see , unlike you , aj , i do n't want to hurt elizabeth . aj : really ? nikolas : really . aj : hmm . then why do n't you erase the recording ? elizabeth : hey . connie : how is she ? elizabeth : dr. rashi was able to stabilize her . connie : [ exhales sharply ] thank god . elizabeth : but we need to get the bullet out , and we 're prepping the o.r . right now . sonny : elizabeth , is she gon na make it ? elizabeth : it 's too soon to say , but we know how strong olivia is . connie : she 's a bensonhurst girl . she does n't give up . sonny : can -- can we see her ? elizabeth : one at a time . she 's barely conscious . connie : go ahead . i have to call dante , anyway . [ monitor beeping ] sonny : [ sighs ] olivia ... patrick : yes , this is my home . this is where robin and i shared our lives . but it 's also where you babysat emma and made both of our lives better . and i do n't really see a lot of venue choices for us right now . short of selling the place . sabrina : at my apartment , we 'd have to share a pull - out sofa with felix , since his sister and britt have both of the bedrooms . patrick : [ chuckles ] no thanks . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : look ... right before robin died , she , uh , she had an hiv scare with her medication , and there was a moment there that she was n't sure that she was gon na make it . and she made me a dvd basically telling me to find somebody to love ... that would love me ... and that would love emma . and i feel like i found her . yes , sabrina , this is my house . this is where my life is . this is where my heart is . but you 're a part of it now . and i really want you to be comfortable . are you ? anna : i need the hotel security footage from tonight -- all of it . carly : of course . i 'll get that right now . dante : commissioner , what are you thinking ?

'cause you 're strong , you 're uncomplicated . i need that in my life right now . you 're gon na be fine . [ smooches ] aj : all right , nikolas . if your intentions are every bit as noble as you say , why do n't you give me back the recording ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] would n't that be convenient for you ? aj : you said it yourself that if elizabeth found out i slept with carly , it would hurt her . nikolas : [ chuckles ] you 're always looking for the easy way out , are n't you , aj ? you have no problem crossing the line , but you never want to pay the consequences . too bad . that recording 's my little insurance policy . make one wrong move with elizabeth , and i 'll make sure she hears about your pathetic little fling with carly . alexis : i think we should clear the air about your work with sonny . shawn : alexis -- [ cell phone ringing ] alexis : go ahead . answer it . shawn : i really should .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : jason could be about to find out who he really is . nikolas : how 's that possible ? hayden wake up ? elizabeth : no , nope . she 's still comatose after shawn butler accidentally shot her . but jason could be close to finding out the truth for himself . [ scene_break ] michael : jake , it 's good to see you . jake : good to be seen . michael : i know , uh , shawn tried to kill you . it 's good to see you 're okay . jake : yeah , i was lucky . hayden was n't , but ... michael : you know , when mobsters talk about having a code , they never consider the innocent bystander . jake : that 's true . [ clears throat ] fortunately , i 'm out of that business . michael : really ? that 's it ? you 're just -- you 're -- you 're done ? jake : that 's it . i 'm done . flip side is , uh ... i 'm unemployed . and i read that you might be looking for a new head of security . michael : yes , definitely . um ... the company is in serious trouble . i think i know who 's causing the trouble .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : how can jason uncover the truth ? i thought he was totally focused on you and your sons . elizabeth : he 's been staying with us . we 've been spending a lot of time together . it -- it 's starting to feel real , even permanent . it 's like a dream come true . nikolas : then i do n't see why you 're so concerned . elizabeth : because jason does n't work for julian anymore , so he 's unemployed . he 's looking for a new job . nikolas : [ sighs ] that 's a good thing , is n't it ? elizabeth : no , it 's not . that 's our problem . nikolas : why ? elizabeth : jason could end up working for his own family . [ scene_break ] michael : please have a seat . can i get you something to drink ? jake : no , uh , i - i 'm good , thank you very much . uh , so you said that your company 's in trouble . is there anything that you can talk about , or ... ? michael : oh , unfortunately a lot of it 's already been leaked to the press , despite my best efforts to keep it quiet . jake : so you think you have a spy on your staff . michael : well , i 'm not absolutely certain , but no , i do n't -- i do n't think it 's an internal matter . jake : so that 's why you need a new head of security . you want to find out what 's going on . michael : yeah , the situation is extremely urgent . the truth is , somebody has hijacked a large percentage of my great - grandfather 's company , and i am desperate to find out who it is . [ scene_break ] nina : uh , yes , uh , franco and i were very good together , but ... it did n't work out . sam : um ... that 's so -- that 's so crazy 'cause you two were attached at the hip for a while . nina : yes , we were . but i - i am -- i am married to ric now . sam : yeah , how is married life ? nina : it 's , um ... why do you ask ? we 're not exactly friends , samantha . sabrina : so , you 'll do it ? you 'll look into whatever 's going on at elq ? sam : ugh , yes , of course . i do n't know where to start . you are right . `` friends `` would be a stretch . nina : yes , a stretch . i mean , we 're not really , `` hey , do i look fat in this outfit ? tell me about your relationship . let 's share chablis , `` kind of buddies . you know , we hate each other . sam : yeah , th -- that 's very true . but your new stepdaughter is my sister . nina : oh , molly . mm - hmm . she 's so intelligent . she gets that from her dad , i think . sam : look , i just figured that we 're probably gon na be seeing a lot of each other at family functions and gatherings and stuff and -- nina : i look very forward to those moments . sam : so do i , and , um ... i do n't know if you know , but molly 's graduation is coming up , and i thought it would be nice if i paved the way for a truce ... nina : cut the the crap , please . sam : ... obviously for molly 's ... sake . nina : tell me what you really want .

[ scene_break ] tj : today 's visiting day at pentonville . i cleared my schedule so i 'd have plenty of time to drive up and see shawn , but i needed to make a stop . ric : where ? tj : wyndham 's . i , uh ... i wanted to buy molly 's graduation present . [ scene_break ] molly : we both know that this has to be some kind of misunderstanding , right ? tj would never do anything to get himself arrested . jordan : i agree , molly , but we do n't have the whole story . at this point , all i know is that detective falconeri was the arresting officer . molly : and dante has n't checked back in ? jordan : no , i called , but he wo n't call back . dante : i 'm here . hey . [ police radio chatter ] jordan : where have you been , dante ? i 've left you several messages . what the hell is going on ? dante : i know . i 'm sorry . i - i got a call on the kindle smith case . i had to follow up on that lead . i 'm sorry . jordan : okay , i understand that , and i 'm gon na expect an update on my desk tonight . dante : of course .

[ scene_break ] nina : you have exactly three seconds to tell me why you approached me , or i 'm out of here . one , two -- sam : wow . being civil to you is definitely not the way to go . nina : yes . you should apologize to me . sam : to you ? ! [ laughs ] not likely , no . nina : okay , well , then , i 'm done . sam : no , sit , please . i am here in a professional capacity . nina : you -- professional ? sam : look , i was asked to look in to what transpired between you and rosalie . [ sighs ] nina : what are you talking about ? sam : when she met with you to try to purchase your shares of elq . nina : well , that 's easy . i sold the whole lot of them to her . [ scene_break ] jake : do you have any idea who might 've hijacked your family 's company ? michael : well , franco and nina have 11.5 % . jake : how 'd they manage that ? michael : extortion . jake : michael , have you considered going to the police ? your brother is a cop . michael : well , i have no proof . besides , i thought i had a way of reclaiming shares . my , uh , assistant , rosalie martinez , had a previous work relationship with nina , so i sent her and a briefcase full of cash to make nina an offer . jake : and no deal . michael : [ sighs ] rosalie said that nina refused to sell the shares . jake : were you actually there to witness this transaction ? michael : no , but i 'm taking rosalie 's word for it . a friend of mine thinks that she could be lying , but for the life of me , i ca n't see why she would do that . [ scene_break ] nikolas : jason applied for a job with the quartermaines ? elizabeth : at elq . there 's an opening for a new head of security . nikolas : did you try and talk him out of it ? elizabeth : of course , i did . i came up with every excuse , but you know jason . once he gets focused on something , there 's no stopping him . nikolas : look , even if he applies for the job , why would elq hire him ? it 's not as though he has any kind of résumé . elizabeth : well , apparently , he does n't need one because he 's already friends with the ceo . nikolas : he befriended michael ? elizabeth : i guess they had a conversation while jason was still at the hospital . nikolas : oh , so what ? it 's one conversation . i do n't think that 's any reason to worry . elizabeth : well , i do , because jason told me once he met michael , he instinctively liked him . what if michael feels the same ? nikolas : elizabeth , do n't -- do n't jump to any conclusions . it 's possible he 's just meeting with hr today . elizabeth : okay , or -- or maybe it 's possible that michael 's gon na hire jake the second he walks in the door . what if spending time with michael and the rest of his family jogs his memory and jason remembers who he is ? [ scene_break ] jake : putting aside whether or not your assistant is lying , how many shares are missing ? michael : 32 % . jake : that 's serious , man . michael : it 's possible someone is making a bid to gain controlling interest in the company . jake : do you have any ideas ? michael : i have reason to believe that the shares could be in the hands of the cassadines . [ scene_break ] nina : rosalie gave me cash . it was a legal transaction . if you do n't believe me , you can talk to my husband , ric . he 's an attorney , as well . sam : i - i understand that . i 'm not saying that what you did was illegal . i just want to make sure that you did sell your shares to rosalie . nina : well , did n't i just say i did ? sam : yes , you did , but rosalie says that you did n't . she swears that you 're lying . [ scene_break ] jake : any cassadine in particular ? sabrina : what are you listening to , rosalie ? rosalie : sabrina , hello . uh , mr. quartermaine 's in with someone right now . do you care to wait ? sabrina : oh , i 'm a little early for lunch . so , sure , i 'll wait . rosalie : great . sabrina : you know , i was standing right next to you for a good few minutes , but you were absolutely riveted in whatever it was you were listening to . what had you so wrapped up ? rosalie : sia 's latest . sabrina : oh . rosalie : it energizes me while i work on your boyfriend 's correspondence . sabrina : ah . michael entrusts you with a lot of responsibility . rosalie : yep . that 's what you do with an executive assistant . you know , i really got to get back to work . uh , you can have a seat over there . sabrina : you know , i know that michael sent you to recoup the elq shares from nina clay . rosalie : yeah . yeah , he did . as usual , nina was completely irrational . she , uh , felt the need to hold on to those shares because of that unholy mess , franco . sabrina : but is n't it strange that franco told michael that nina actually took the deal ? rosalie : surprise , surprise . franco was lying ... even though you tried to convince michael otherwise . [ scene_break ] michael : i do n't think nikolas has the shares , but his grandmother might . jake : helena ? michael : look , would it be a problem for you to conduct an investigation that might include her ? jake : by `` problem , `` do you mean am i worried that she 's gon na force me to take someone hostage or blow up a boatload of people ? no , i 'm past that . michael : i know . jake : look [ clears throat ] i never did get a chance to thank you for taking that bomb off the haunted star . if you had n't been there , if you had n't done that , a lot of people might 've died . would 've been on me . michael : [ stammers ] luke and helena were responsible , and they got a free pass . you have absolutely no reason to blame yourself . jake : i guess i 'll be grateful . look , i learned something about myself . [ clears throat ] i 'm never gon na hurt an innocent person . i 'd rather die . so , no ... i do n't have a problem with digging in to helena cassadine . not at all . michael : well , all right . i 'll put your résumé on the top of the pile for this job .

[ scene_break ] tj : do you remember when we wandered through wyndham 's before we caught the late showing of `` avengers `` ? molly : yeah . tj : and you showed me those earrings that would look so awesome with your graduation dress ? well , that 's why i was at wyndham 's today . i was buying those earrings . molly : tj , those are way too expensive . tj : i wanted you to have them to wear when you gave your valedictorian speech . i used my credit card to pay , and the charge went through , but the clerk took so long wrapping up the box that by the time she was ready to go , i was past schedule . molly : because you were supposed to go see shawn today . tj : right . and right when i was about to get out of the door , the security guard stops me . and all of a sudden , it 's 20 questions with a rent - a - cop in the security office . molly : oh , no . tj : the charge went through just fine , but they thought that my card was stolen or fake . molly : did n't you show them your driver 's license ? tj : yes , and he still did n't believe me . [ scene_break ] ric : that megalomaniac , small - minded mall cop had no intention of letting tj ever walk out of that store . and wyndham 's had no real reason to suspect that that card was anything but genuine , but they still called the real cops . dante : which is when i came in . jordan : okay , how did it go from suspicion of a fraudulent card to my son handcuffed to that table ? dante : look , that guard was already on overload by the time i got there . i told him tj was a stand - up kid , that he goes to pcu , that i trust him with my own kid . i thought that would make him want to let him go . but he was determined to wait till he heard back from the credit - card company to make sure that the card he was using was legit . ric : which , of course , it was . dante : right . so we argued a bit . it got heated , and ... i admit , i do n't think that helped in making him want to let tj go . at which point , i told tj we 'd have to wait around for a little bit . [ scene_break ] tj : [ sighs ] i did n't want to wait , molly . i had a two - hour window to see shawn , and it was closing fast . and for what ? i had n't done anything wrong .. molly : i know . tj : so i said , `` screw this . i 'm not waiting . `` [ scene_break ] dante : when the guard heard that tj was trying to get to pentonville , that was proof to him that he was involved in criminal activity and that he was associated with convicts . jordan : that is the most ludicrous thing i 've ever heard in my life . dante : jordan , i agree with you . this was the dumbest thing i 've ever been a part of . i had no words , but that 's when tj kind of lost it . ric : yeah ? well , can you blame him ? dante : no . he went for the exit , the guard blocked his way . tj : so i kind of shoved him . dante : there was a scuffle . tj : dude tried to grab me . dante : and the guard ended up on the floor . [ scene_break ] ric : not only would your daughter marry the likes of me . she did . i think congratulations are in order , frankly . madeline : nina is married ? to whom ? liesl : an uebeltaeter named ric lansing . madeline : [ chuckles ] well , as long as it is n't franco . liesl : but this lansing -- he 's a slime . worse than any of the men you threw yourself at when you were younger . franco : ric does n't even know nina . they just got married after one conversation in the bar . he 's just trying to take her for everything she 's worth . liesl : which means you 'll never see a penny of it , either , mein schwester . he 's going to leave the reeves woman parched and penniless . franco : okay , look , i 'm really sorry about the whole motel thing , okay ? but , please , you have to help nina get away from ric before nina gets hurt . [ scene_break ] nina : wow . rosalie has a secret . that 's news to me . sam : [ smacks table ] come on , nina . please cut the crap . you were holding something big over rosalie when she was playing the role of your nurse , and she shared that information with michael . nina : she told michael what she had done ? sam : no , she did n't say exactly what . she just said that there was something in her past that allowed you to walk all over her when you were n't even `` able to stand . `` nina : so what ? sam : `` so what ? `` i think whatever it is could be relevant to whatever game rosalie is playing . [ scene_break ] rosalie : what are you talking about ? sabrina : like you do n't know . am i supposed to believe that michael actually told you that i had doubts about you ? rosalie : no , michael is too much of a gentleman to ever say such a thing . but it had to be you that was implying that i lied about the shares . sabrina : were you ? rosalie : [ scoffs ] are you crazy , or what ? do i look like i bought those shares for myself ? where would i get that kind of cash ? sabrina : oh , i do n't know . maybe you got the cash from your other boss . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you said this -- this was your chance , your time to be with jason . you wanted to be happy . elizabeth : i made a decision to lie by omission to the man i l -- i love just so i can be with him ? nikolas : just -- well , then , just be with him . elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : why not ? he 's happy with you . elizabeth : we 're really good together . it 's exactly the way i imagined it for all those years . but every day and every night , all i can think about is sam without her husband and danny without his dad . [ scene_break ] sam : i mean , you should hear rosalie , nina . she 's going around town telling people that you 're a liar . she 's calling you a crazy witch . and all that while , you were -- you -- you did all that work on yourself to straighten yourself out . nina : wait . she 's questioning my recovery ? sam : yeah , i know . i know . you spent all that time in shadybrook , and you definitely came out a better person . nina : oh , damn right , i did . i did . sam : yes , obviously , but rosalie -- i mean , come on . she 's going around , she 's pointing fingers and calling names ? are you really gon na let her get away with that ? i mean , you can blow her out of the water by exposing her . i mean , with that secret ... i mean , i would even do your dirty work . just tell me what it is . [ scene_break ] jake : you know , i met dr. quartermaine when i first came to general hospital . she did a cardio workup on me . and , well , danny [ clears throat ] we 're buddies . every time i see him , he runs up to me like we 've known each other his entire life . michael : yeah , he 's -- he 's a great kid . jake : yeah , he is . you know , it 's , uh ... it 's crazy . i ha -- i had a dream about him this morning that we were goofing around , playing with motorcycles . michael : wow . you do know danny . yeah , he , uh -- he loves motorcycles . he has like 20 of them . jake : huh . well , then ... ... i guess it was , uh , in my subconscious . i ca n't believe i 'm gon na tell you this . uh ... in the dream , it felt like danny was my kid . i know . crazy , right ? but , you know , look , i say that i 've come to grips with not remembering , but the truth is , i ca n't help but wonder if i have a son of my own out there somewhere . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i was so mad at you for telling hayden to go tell jason the truth , but you were right . nikolas : i let the situation get out of hand . elizabeth : the whole thing should 've just ended that day . but instead of jason learning the truth , hayden got shot . she got caught in some messed up mob hit . it was a crazy twist of fate . the decision was made for us . 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 . i have a confession to make . [ scene_break ] molly : that guard was completely wrong . i do n't understand . how could dante arrest you ? dante : i helped the guard back up on his feet . he seemed completely fine . then he said that his back was injured , and that 's why he wanted tj arrested for assault . jordan : please . this is unbelievable . ric : it 's a trumped - up charge , is what it is . dante : i agree , okay ? look , jordan , i tried to smooth things out . i told them that you were his mom , you were the commissioner . all that meant to him was that we were gon na go easy on tj , and he started bringing up the thin blue line and how this is all gon na play out in the media . ric : well , i can tell you how it 's gon na play out . `` wyndham 's participates in racial profiling . `` look , this guard clearly demonstrated racial bias against tj . when he tried to stop him , who happened to be an african - american paying customer . dante : i 'm sorry , jordan . letting tj walk out of that office at wyndham 's , that was not an option . [ scene_break ] tj : so , then detective falconeri arrested me . and here i sit -- in cuffs , charged with assault . molly : do n't worry . my dad is gon na fix everything . [ scene_break ] ric : look , it 's a clear - cut case of harassment . dante : it 's obvious why tj was targeted , and i bet you wyndham 's has already got a phone call from the credit - card company legitimizing the fact that the card was tj 's and it was real . ric : absolutely . look , commissioner , i do n't think you want your son to have an arrest on his record , so why do n't we make this go away ? [ scene_break ] madeline : how can i possibly help you ? nina hates me , remember ? she would n't listen to a word i said even if her life depended on it . liesl : ah , please . i just got finished telling franco how wonderfully resourceful you are . do n't embarrass me by being bereft of ideas about how to manipulate a child . madeline : i 'm afraid i would be more of a hindrance in your ... quest for nina 's money . liesl : since when are you so modest and self - aware ? franco : oh , i have an idea . i have a great idea . uh , magda here has got a brand - new lawyer -- knows how to tip the scales of justice . let 's hire him to get nina 's inheritance back , and then , madeline , give it to you . yeah . yeah , you 'd like that , would n't you ? and i 'd like it , too , because then nina would be broke and ric lansing would stop chasing her and then finally i get the girl back . madeline : [ scoffs ] i 'm afraid the prospect of a reunion between you and nina is not at all appealing to me , franco . liesl : perhaps franco should focus only on the financial aspect of things . franco : yeah , madeline . nina got you to do some terrible things to ava for money . you made yourself an accessory to assault and kidnapping for money , and now ric lansing 's about to walk away with nina 's money . now , why are n't you jumping at the chance to stop him ? [ scene_break ] nina : that little traitor rosalie deserves to have her dirty laundry aired all over port charles . sam : absolutely . nina : absolutely . sam : yep . nina : and let me tell you something . michael quartermaine would fire her quicker than silas did . her life would be ruined . sam : the way she 's trying to ruin your life by saying that you 're holding on to these shares . i mean , she 's saying that you 're doing it for sentimental reasons , because [ chuckles ] of franco . nina : how dare she ? sam : i know . nina : yeah . she took a moment of vulnerability that i had because i thought i might not sell because of franco . sam : the gall of her . she is exposing your deepest , darkest secrets . you know the way to stop her ? by exposing hers . [ scene_break ] rosalie : the only boss i have is on the other side of that door . sabrina : are you sure ? a few weeks ago , i overheard you talking on the phone to someone who you referred to as `` boss , `` and i know you were n't talking to michael . so you either have another boss or you were talking to bruce springsteen . rosalie : yeah ? how do you know that bruce did n't write `` rosalita `` just for me ? sabrina : i 'm pretty sure he did n't . rosalie : and why is michael 's nanny all up in my business ? how much childcare is actually involved in your job , anyway ? sabrina : what are you talking about ? rosalie : no , i 'm just trying to wrap my head around your arrangement with michael . let 's see -- he pays you , and you go out with him . is n't that generally what 's referred to as a hooker ? [ scene_break ] michael : yeah , i ca n't imagine how hard it is not knowing who you are , who you love , who might be waiting for you . jake : yeah , i 'll tell you , uh [ clears throat ] some days are better than others . having that , uh , weird dream about danny and seeing all the pictures of your family members , even the one of your great - grandfather outside , well , i have to tell you , sir , looks like you have a pretty terrific family . good for you . michael : thank you . yeah , the quartermaines are , uh , one of a kind to put it , um ... uh , right before my great - grandfather died , he actually got to meet danny , and that kid just grabbed his finger and -- and did n't let go . that was jason 's son and just this ... dying , larger - than - life man . they just instantly connected . jake : you know , the way sam tells it , that 's exactly what happened between me and danny . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : a confession ? about what ? about hayden ? nikolas : no . no . about elq . as you know , i 've had my sights on the company . it 's part of the reason why i did n't want the truth about jason to come out in the first place . elizabeth : yeah , i - i know all this . so what are you confessing ? nikolas : i 'm very close to having a majority stake in the company . so if jason gets the job , he wo n't be working for the quartermaines . he 'll be working for me . [ scene_break ] michael : yeah , sam told me how danny wandered into your hospital room , latched on to your hand , and would n't let go . jake : well , maybe he sensed a kindred spirit . i 'm into motorcycles , too . michael : yeah ? jake : yeah . michael : yeah , so was -- so was danny 's father , jason . jake : oh . michael : he , um ... he once got into a fight with my great - grandfather . he stormed out and he bought a motorcycle and he drove it right into the house . jake : [ laughs ] really ? yeah . were you there ? michael : no , no , i was n't . it was before i was born . no , jason -- he always rebelled against everything the quartermaines stood for . but , uh , i remember one christmas near the end of my great - grandfather 's life , jason brought me to see him . and just watching them , you can see the -- the love and respect between them . i know if jason were still alive , he 'd want me to do everything i possibly could to hold on to my great - grandfather 's legacy , to take care of what he built and preserve it for the family . jake : well , i 'm pretty sure that i do n't have a family of my own at this point . but it would be an honor to help protect yours . [ scene_break ] nikolas : once i acquire controlling interest in elq , i 'll be able to keep a close eye on jason . elizabeth : okay . i ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this , but i - i would feel more comfortable having jason work for the cassadines than the quartermaines . at least , that way , he wo n't be in constant contact with his own family . nikolas : elizabeth , you 're overestimating the risk , okay ? between the accident and my grandmother 's conditioning , there 's no way jason will remember anything . elizabeth : better safe than sorry . the less time jason spends with michael , the better . nikolas : look , you 're probably worried about nothing . he might not even get the job . [ scene_break ] michael : welcome to elq . jake : i 'm hired ? michael : yeah , with pleasure . the way you talk about protecting the quartermaine legacy makes me think you 're gon na be a perfect fit here . actually , it almost sounds like you 're already part of the family . jake : well , that 's -- that 's very gracious , but , uh , we both know you 're taking a risk hiring me . michael : i 'm sure you 'll justify my faith . jake : i 'm gon na start by finding out whoever took those missing shares .

[ scene_break ] judge farmer : i 'm glad you could join me . obviously , this is n't a formal inquiry . i am interested in hearing how you feel kristina 's dealing with the present custody arrangement . ned : well , kristina is obviously very comfortable at the house . she 's happy . she 's well taken care of . and i 'm proud to say that i am a hands - on , committed parent . judge farmer : but prior to this , you had been ticketed -- ned : yes . yeah . and i was definitely showing some very poor judgment , which my grandfather was able to exploit and thereby gain temporary custody . but fortunately , that 's all in the past . skye : the truth is ned has been the one constant in kristina 's life . judge farmer : which makes it essential that he act responsibly . ned : as soon as i became kristina 's primary caregiver , i completely rearranged my life and my job so i could maximize my time with kristina . and i truly believe that i have made the necessary commitment that kristina deserves . so i was hoping that you could see that i 've earned the right to regain my custody . judge farmer : if you 're referring to permanent custody , i ca n't make that decision until kristina 's mother has finished with her psychiatric treatment . skye : have the doctors been able to give you any kind of a timetable ? because , i 'm telling you , judging from her visits with kristina , alexis ' behavior just continues to be erratic . ned : since her sister died , she really has n't been the same . judge farmer : that 's why she 's receiving treatment . skye : as i 've told you , she shows up late for the appointed visits , if she even shows up at all , and then she leaves early . and when we ask her about it , she claims that she 's been working . judge farmer : she ca n't practice law . ned : no , she ca n't . judge farmer : did you ask her what she 's doing ? skye : she gives us some vague answers about a job that clearly does n't exist .

[ scene_break ] judge farmer : the two of you appear to be acting as co - parents . is there any chance that the relationship could become permanent ? skye and ned : no . ned : well , off the record , does the court look upon a single parent in a relationship more favorably than a parent not in a relationship ? judge farmer : off the record ? it would go a long way towards getting the kind of custody arrangement that you 're seeking if you were happily married . edward : alexis , what the hell are you doing ? hey , did you just come out of the men 's room ? alexis : there was a long line in the ladies ' room , as usual , and no one in the men 's , so i used it . as the owner of this hotel , if you have any respect for women , you should expand the little girls ' facilities . edward : oh . was dobson in there ? alexis : no one 's in there . judge farmer : while it 's too soon to make any definitive plans , it 's possible that the child 's needs could be better met if she remain just where she -- alexis : well , look who 's here . judge farmer , hi . ned , skye . i had no idea you all were such good friends that you would get together socially -- unless , of course , you 're conspiring against me behind my back . skye : well , it was -- it was good seeing you , alexis . alexis : it 's always good to see you , skye . i have a minute . do you mind if i join you ? skye : you know what ? the waiter poured this , but i 'm not drinking . alexis : since when ? ned : alexis does n't need a drink . i 'm sure you want a clear head . alexis : ned , i have no idea why you 're saying that to me . unlike skye , i do n't have a problem with alcohol . here 's mud in your eye . seriously , i do n't know how i 'm ever going to be able to thank the quartermaines for the -- the care that they have given my daughter . and i want you to know , i want you to be assured that i have every intention of following every legal requirement that has been imposed upon me by this court . skye : you know , alexis , since we are all here , maybe you could explain to us a little bit about this -- this `` work `` that you 're doing , since it does seem to make you so late for your visits with kristina -- that is , when you show up at all . alexis : this work that i 'm doing is the work that i 'm doing putting my life back together . you know , as long as we 're here , this seems like a wonderful , a fortuitous opportunity for us to discuss some of the issues that have come up recently . for instance , when i come to visit my daughter , skye always chooses that particular time to take her for a walk . skye : well , if i waited for you , alexis , that child would never see the light of day . alexis : that 's a gross exaggeration . skye : it 's the truth . alexis : it 's not . skye : it is . alexis : it 's not . skye : it is . alexis : when i do get to see my daughter , when she 's actually available -- skye : she 's always available , alexis . alexis : skye hovers over her like some deranged vulture -- skye : i was told that the court wants the visits supervised . alexis : perhaps you 're confusing supervision with intrusiveness . skye : well , alexis , you 're always so frantic with kristina , you upset her . like the other day , she had this mild ear infection , and you wanted to whisk her off to the emergency room in a helicopter . alexis : i never said a word about a helicopter . skye : she did n't need to go anywhere . and if i do hover , it is because i 'm trying to help you . alexis : i know exactly what you 're trying to do . you are trying to make -- the best of a very difficult situation . we all are . as much as i would love to sit and talk about this some more , i -- i really have to go . i have someplace i have to be . judge farmer , it was lovely to see you again . skye : my . did n't know she was battling a problem with alcohol on top of everything else .

[ scene_break ] ned : do you see now why skye and i are so concerned about alexis ? skye : kristina is at a crucial stage in her development . she 's learning to trust the world , to bond with others . how could she be expected to do that when alexis can swoop in at a moment 's notice and upset her ? ned : i want to give alexis the benefit of the doubt . she is kristina 's mother , and she has every right to be with her -- as soon as she gets better . skye : alexis does n't seem to be getting better . now , i know there are no signs of her alternate personality right now , but it 's pretty obvious that other problems are coming to the fore . ned : your honor , i am genuinely concerned that if the court decides to wait until alexis is fully recovered before i regain my custody , well , that could be years . judge farmer : you make some valid points . and now , if you 'll excuse me , i need to make a call . ned : i 'm so glad you 're here . i think the judge really needs to understand that you are providing kristina with the maternal stability that alexis just ca n't give her right now . skye : i love that little girl , ned . i 'll do whatever you want me to .

[ scene_break ] amelia : `` angela `` was sam 's last alias . that 's the name she used when she was married to bill monroe . jason : your father ? amelia : my parents divorced when i was 10 -- it was n't amicable . my mother and i moved back to the east coast , she took back her maiden name . my dad stayed in california and made a bundle developing real estate . i did n't get to see much of my father after we moved . thanks to sam , i never will . my dad called one day and said `` congratulate me , i 'm getting married . `` i thought , `` you know what ? good for him . everyone deserves to be happy . `` then he sent a picture . i realized my stepmother was the same age as me . she was young , beautiful , obviously a trophy wife . we never met , me and my stepmother , mostly because i figured it would n't last . not that age difference is a bad thing -- unless the bride cleans out your bank account and plans to vanish while you 're at the office . but dad got a call from the bank and came home early and caught sam packing . it got ugly . it 's all there in the police report . angela was badly beaten , her left wrist broken . it seems that dad snatched the watch right off her wrist . angela -- sam -- had the presence of mind to get to the gun closet . she grabbed my father 's shotgun and she gave him both barrels through the chest . then she pleaded self - defense . jason : well , i am sorry for your loss , but it 's got nothing to do with me . amelia : you could n't be more wrong .

[ robin laughs ] lainey : yeah . kelly : well , the good news is robin does n't need you to have a child . lainey : yes ! kelly : right ? robin : thank you very much . lainey : right . kelly : thanks to the miracles of my profession , robin can choose to become a mother on her own . lainey : that 's right . stan : but , um , i 'm going to tell you something right now . a mother raising a child on her own , it 's no picnic -- and not one of you -- i do n't care what you say , you ca n't tell me anything different . [ scene_break ] bernie : i 'm just saying you have a tendency to be less focused when you 're trying to impress a new woman , that 's all . sonny : okay , first of all , bernie -- um -- this woman is not a `` new woman , `` okay , and i 'm not trying to impress anyone . bernie : i 'm just saying that , given the fact that jason may be incarcerated for the foreseeable future , the business is going to need your full attention . so maybe you could just reschedule the young lady to , say -- sonny : bernie -- `` bernie . `` you 're an accountant , am i right ? bernie : you are right . sonny : and a fine one at that . bernie : thank you . sonny : so stick to giving me advice on numbers . tell the hotel casino manager at the playa that i will call him in the morning . bernie : `` the morn -- `` sonny : say good night , bernie . bernie : `` good night , bernie . `` sonny : milo ? bernie : yeah . milo : good night , bernie . bernie : `` good night , bernie . `` okay . milo : oh , i -- kate : that man thinks i 'm sleeping with you . sonny : oh , `` that man 's `` name is bernie , and he 's discreet about everything . he 's my accountant . kate : mm - hmm . sonny : yeah . kate : he handles your coffee business ? sonny : why do you care what people think ? kate : i have a reputation . sonny : christine mariani had a reputation , but connie was one of the good girls . kate : oh , i was ? i mean -- she was ? sonny : why do n't i make you that pasta -- kate : oh , no . sonny : what ? kate : no pasta . i prefer chicken breast , grilled , skinless , boneless , and a side of steamed vegetables would be fine . sonny : you 're kidding me . kate : okay , well , if you 've got fish , broiled -- if it 's fresh . sonny : so this is what it 's like to be kate howard -- you do n't have flavor in your food anymore ? kate : if i wanted to be a size 12 , i would 've stayed in bensonhurst . the editor of `` couture `` magazine is expected to maintain her appearance . sonny : and can i say it 's been maintained nicely ?

[ scene_break ] stan : what ? what , nobody else here raised by a single mom ? robin : well , not exactly . i mean , my dad was a presence for a while , my mom was around in the beginning . but basically , i was raised by my uncle mac -- who actually never had any children of his own , but he was born to be a father . he 's the best -- uncle mac . kelly and lainey : uncle mac ! [ stan laughs ] robin : hmm . lainey : i had both parents . kelly : hmm -- me , too . patrick : yep -- [ laughter ] patrick : so did i , but my father 's priority was his work . lainey : oh , boy -- the apple does n't fall far from the tree . patrick : no , it does n't . stan : ooh . hey , coleman , what about you ? were you raised with a daddy ? coleman : i had five daddies . stan : oh , wow . coleman : but my biological dad was in the marines , and then my stepdads were a cop , army medic , a gas station attendant , and this guy we used to go visit out at pentonville . [ stan laughs ] coleman : my mom loved a man in uniform , man . kelly : that is just way too much information . lainey : it explains so much . kelly : oh -- lainey : so -- ahem -- what was it like being raised by epiphany ? patrick : yikes . stan : um -- well , i -- i love my mama . i have infinite love and respect for her . i know it does n't come off that way always , but -- but when i look back , there 's a lot of places in my childhood where , you know , i know that the presence of a father would 've made a huge difference . and , you know , it was just -- it 's just not as easy as you guys are making it sound . it 's just not . but , you know , like kelly said , `` t.m.i. `` lainey : so , wait -- hold on . if a woman is in a relationship , or if she 's with a man like patrick who does n't want children , she should just give up the idea of ever being a mother ? stan : abandon it . lainey : that is patently unfair . and -- and i think that you ought to be a little bit more respectful of everything your mother sacrificed . stan : more respect ? lainey : yes . stan : you know what ? if i listened to every single little thing that my mother wanted me to do -- patrick : oh , god . stan : i 'd be dating you . robin : you did n't tell him ? stan : tell me what ? patrick : your mom has been , uh , pushing lainey to date you , and she has graciously sidestepped the issue . stan : huh . huh . really ? okay , so now i 'm not good enough for you to date ? robin : ugh -- kelly : oh ! robin ? stan : what 's up with that ? robin : you always do that . patrick : what -- what did i -- what did i do ? robin : you people -- you male people . it 's true ! you say that you do n't want something , and then the moment a woman agrees , you turn around and change your mind . it does n't matter if it 's dating lainey , finding an apartment , or picking out furniture . stan : no , no , no , no . robin : men are contrarians by nature . lainey : high - five that . robin : yes . kelly : contrarians . women : contrarians ! [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] sonny : iced tea . i 'd give you wine , but it 's -- it would be dangerous for a woman in your position . kate : and what position is that ? sonny : half naked in my living room . kate : it is not really fair to flirt with a woman who may be disoriented . sonny : well , i 'm not flirting , i 'm actually telling the truth . you look a lot better in my shirt than you do in your own designer wardrobe . max : boss , i 'm really worried about -- oh , no . sonny : milo -- yes . what part of `` do not disturb `` are you having trouble with ? milo : sorry , boss , but it 's max -- you know , he 's my brother . what am i supposed to do ? sonny : you tell him to wait ! if he does n't , shoot him ! max : milo , mr. c was n't serious , all right ? put the gun away . milo : okay . max : god . look , he just feels guilty because he knows he 's being unfair to mrs. c . sonny : you have to understand something -- there is no `` mrs. c. `` she married jax , am i right ? that was her decision , and you -- you do n't get to have an opinion on who my guests are . max : boss , you have n't even had a decent mourning period from the end of your last relationship . i -- kate : `` relationship `` ? excuse me , what relationship ? [ scene_break ] alexis : hi . hello . sam : hi . alexis : hi . sam : hey , what -- what are you doing here ? alexis : you know , it 's funny -- i dropped kristina off at school , and one of the moms came up to me and said that she really liked `` everyday heroes , `` and how proud i must be of you . see , apparently , kristina must be bragging about her big sister . and so i realized that you had this big , exciting thing going on and i seem to have missed most of it , so here i am . sam : thank you , and do n't worry about it . we have both been really busy . it 's just -- alexis : you know what ? the worst is over , so i think it 's time for you to have a mother who supports you . sam : good . i mean , you know , i can always use all the support i can get . alexis : you know , for someone with a very fulfilling , exciting future , you do n't seem very happy about it . sam : i do n't know . i mean , what 's -- what 's that saying ? `` be careful what you wish for `` ? i 'm a living example . [ scene_break ] jason : i just do n't understand why you would build your television show around someone you blame for your father 's death . amelia : sam never paid for killing my father or for swindling all her other husbands . given what fools she made of them , and the fact that they were all upstanding citizens with reputations to uphold , not one of them was willing to air his dirty laundry in public -- which meant sam got away with all of it , including murder . i wanted to punish sam for what she did , but i was n't in the business of revenge . then i saw her interviewed after the hostage crisis and i saw a chance for justice . jason : by making sam a tv star ? amelia : the show is just step one -- make sam a celebrity , inflate her ego , get her hooked on the adulation -- then drop the bomb . expose sam publicly for who she really is , sit back and let the vultures circle . once the tabloids smell blood , it 's a whole other form of torture . so while sam will never go to prison for killing my father , she can still suffer public humiliation . jason : is that still the plan ? amelia : well , there 's one small problem -- as sam 's career has skyrocketed , so has mine behind the scenes . i 'm not prepared to sacrifice my own future in the name of revenge . jason : so you 'll settle for destroying sam 's personal life ? amelia : sam hardly needs me for that . your relationship with sam is collapsing all on its own . diane : i ca n't think of one good reason you 'd talk to the media .

[ next_on ] sam : if he had the choice , he would want a son . amelia : she 's taking steps to hang on to you . sam can not stand you had a son with elizabeth . jason : she is not the woman that you 're describing . amelia : you have no idea who sam is . sam : i 'll do whatever it takes to be a family . | robin reasserts that she does not want to be a mother in the immediate future . amelia tells jason all about sam 's conwoman past , but jason insists on defending her . amelia , therefore , plays her trump card and tells jason that sam knows about jake . sonny finally convinces kate to stay until any concussion danger is past , and when bernie stops by , he is less than thrilled to see his boss getting involved with a new woman . tracy moves lulu back into the manor , over all protests . scott shows up demanding that tracy tell him where luke took laura , but tracy , with the backing of her family , she stonewalls him and alice ejects scott . alan suspects and warns tracy that edward is up to something . cops show up and arrest tracy for kidnapping . alexis shows up at the studio with a desire to be more supportive of her daughter . |
elizabeth : robin is having your child . that is not something you can hide from any more than you can ignore it . patrick , you are going to be a father whether you are ready or not . patrick : elizabeth , robin is the one determined to do this on her own . elizabeth : because she does n't want to pressure you . that does n't mean she does n't want you to be a part of the baby 's life . trust me . if you give up this chance to raise your child , you will always regret it . robin : you know , elizabeth is just trying to help , but she could not be more wrong .

[ scene_break ] lulu : jensen thinks we should run the interview with keira knightly . kate : well , clearly jensen 's not paid to think , because if he was , he 'd know that was a bad idea . why would i run a cover story in a competing magazine ? why would i give giselle the exclusive ? maxie : you would n't , which is why oliver suggested we run something completely different , give the readers a feel for what `` crimson `` really is without giving up anything from our debut issue . kate : thank you , maxie . that would be my preference , but since we do n't have a photographer , i fail to see how that 's an option . girls , we need something fresh . we need something truly original . do you have any insight ? lulu : we could run an excerpt on that piece on micro loans , just enough to -- to make readers realize that `` crimson `` is more than just mindless fluff . maxie : or we could run something that really focuses on our target age range , like the pictures from the `` what to wear `` clubbing shoot . giselle : now that 's a new way to appeal to a younger audience -- let your assistants make the editorial decisions . [ scene_break ] jax : there are two types of bets in roulette -- the outside , which is this area , or the inside . now , you can bet on a single number . you can split a number , which represents both of these . you can put it in the middle right there . it represents all four numbers , or you could put it on the side , which represents an entire row . spinelli : okay , forgive the jackal 's ignorance , but would n't it just be -- i do n't know , easier to bet on red or black ? jax : well , if you want to play it safe , but if you want to win big you have to play big . spinelli : well , what would the gaming guru suggest ? jax : i suggest picking a number in the middle . payout is bigger . spinelli : okay . okay . oh , um , um . croupier : no more bets . spinelli : okay , come on , five . croupier : seven . congratulations , mr. jacks . jax : thank you . second lesson in gambling -- always trust your instincts . spinelli : but what if the jackal 's instincts are wrong ? jax : well , then you lose . the key is , you have to pretend like you do n't care . spinelli : of course i care . who would n't want money and prestige ? i mean , not that the jackal is n't financially sound . stone cold pays a most -- jax : okay , forget about the money , for a start . assume once you put the chips down that they 're already gone . what you 're paying for is the fun of having something at stake . spinelli : i 'm sorry . the jackal does n't follow . how is losing money fun ? [ scene_break ] claudia : well , daddy , what do you think ? anthony : why you had to lease a place is beyond me . there are plenty of rooms available at the metro court . claudia : i do n't like hotels . they 're too impersonal . this place feels like a home . anthony : with someone else 's stuff around ? claudia : what , you do n't like the furniture ? anthony : no , it 's not what i would have picked . johnny : well , then i guess it 's a good thing you do n't live here . anthony : [ mocking ] i still want to be comfortable when i visit . now , it was nice that you found a place across from my hotel , and it 's not going to be any trouble to come see you , as long as i got the kid here to help me down those stairs . claudia : daddy , come on . we can just put a ramp in if it 'll be easier for you . anthony : do n't bother . by the time you get this place accessible , the house will be ready for us to move back in . johnny : claudia and i are staying here . anthony : oh , i want my children with me .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : what you and patrick do is your choice . i had no right to intervene . robin : after you witnessed my meltdown earlier , who can blame you ? it 's just for the first time , i was thinking about if i were to die , what would happen to my child . it only makes sense that you would go to patrick and ask him to step up and be a parent . elizabeth : well , that was one part of it . the other part is that jason and i came close to being together , and i 'm still adjusting to the reality that it 'll never happen . robin : well , you had to do what was best for your kids . elizabeth : and i am so blessed that lucky is their father . i mean , he 's -- he 's a great dad , and he will always take care of them , but i ca n't help but feel bad for jason , because he has no one . robin : by choice . jason does n't live a child - friendly existence . elizabeth : but patrick does . i think he 'll be missing out if he lets you raise that baby by yourself . robin : patrick never wanted to be a father , and i have to respect that . elizabeth : okay , i 'm not criticizing your choices , but i do n't think you 're giving patrick enough credit . i think he 's more willing to be a father than you realize . [ scene_break ] anthony : we 've already lost so much time together as a family . johnny : aw , whose fault is that ? anthony : i was n't in my right mind when i sent claudia away . now that she 's back and i 'm sane , there 's no reason why we should n't be together . as soon as the house is rebuilt , we 'll all be moving in . claudia : well , daddy , if that 's what you want . i mean , yeah , of course . me and john 'll come home . right , john ? johnny : sure . anthony : i 'm glad to hear that . in the meantime , i 'll be expecting a dinner invitation soon . come on , kid . i 'm not getting up those stairs by myself . johnny : there 's no way in hell i 'm going back to that place . i just got my freedom back . i 'm not giving it up now . claudia : johnny , a lot can happen in the time it takes to rebuild that house . look , who knows where daddy will be ? who knows if daddy will even be alive by then ?

[ scene_break ] robin : when i first started this blog , the purpose was to reach out to other expectant mothers and try to prepare myself as a single mother that 's about to bring in this little being into my world . but i find it kind of ironic , because it seems like the subject i discuss the most is the baby 's father , and -- patrick : robin ? robin : hold that thought , please . you know , i 'm kind of in the middle of something , so it would be great if you could just come back later . patrick : well , the blog can wait . this ca n't . look , i 've been thinking about what elizabeth said , and she 's right . this baby 's going to come , and i 'm going to be a father , whether i 'm prepared or not . robin : okay , but this baby is n't coming for months , so why start stressing about something that has n't even happened yet ? patrick : i 'm not stressing . i 'm just trying to understand my role in all this . robin : okay , but there are no expectations here . i told you that i am completely prepared to do this on my own . you -- patrick : yes , you 've me told me that a hundred times . robin : well , apparently not enough , because now we 're having this conversation . patrick : robin , i am the father of this baby . now it 's time we figure out what that means . [ scene_break ] jax : see , there 's a big difference between flirtation and romance . flirtation is supposed to be fun . no one gets too serious . sometimes it leads to sex . sometimes it does n't . romance , on the other hand , is completely different . romance can lead to love , the problem being sometimes one person gets a little more attached than the other . spinelli : yeah , such is the jackal 's dilemma . i mean , despite my many efforts to man up , as it were , the jackal has fallen hard and is descending consistently into the abyss of love at an alarming rate . sadly , maximista has failed to notice , let alone reciprocate his feelings . oh . jax : mr. spinelli , if you wear your heart on your sleeve , it is going to get crushed . you have to treat love like a game and pretend that it does n't matter whether you lose this girl or not , but you keep it fun . you make her believe that she 's the one who got serious first . [ scene_break ] nikolas : emily had a sincere desire to help people , which is why she became a doctor in the first place , to make a difference , and i just want this clinic to -- to be her legacy . nadine : i think it 's a great tribute . emily would be really proud that you 're helping people in her name . nikolas : yeah , unfortunately that ca n't happen until the clinic 's open . nadine : patience . nikolas : one of the many virtues i was n't blessed with . nadine : well , you got pretty much everything else , so i consider it a fair trade . leyla : nadine ? nadine : hi . what are you doing down here ? leyla : you stole the words right out of my mouth . nikolas : so , welcome to the emily bowen quartermaine free clinic . what do you think ? leyla : well , definitely needs some work . nikolas : yeah . leyla : lucky for you , nadine is very creative . she 's going to make an excellent advisor . i mean , she 's smart and meticulous and -- nadine : why do n't i give you a tour ? we 'll be right back . nikolas : sure , yes , take your time . i 'm just going to step outside and call norma to check on spencer . nadine and leyla : okay . nadine : what was that ? leyla : what ? nadine : selling me like a used car . you should have asked nikolas to kick my tires . leyla : at least let the man buy you dinner first . jeez . nadine : seriously . leyla : i just want to make sure he notices you . that 's all . nadine : well , thank you , but it 's not necessary . nikolas and i are finding ways to connect all on our own .

[ scene_break ] giselle : kate , this space of yours is absolutely divine . it must have been quite a challenge for you to create something so current out in the middle of nowhere . kate : no , with a good designer and a little imagination , you can do anything . giselle : i 'm surprised you could find a designer willing to travel all the way out to the hinterlands . kate : no , what 's surprising is that you did . to what do i owe the pleasure ? giselle : darling , i wanted to tell you how delighted i am to feature `` crimson 's `` promo piece in the pages of `` couture . `` kate : i appreciate the gesture , but you could have called . i know how busy you are . giselle : oh , nonsense . please , you know i always have the time for you . we can visit while i review the content of the promo piece . we would n't want either publication to overshadow the other . kate : oh , no . no , of course not . lulu , lulu , why do n't you show giselle the latest draft of the micro loans piece ? i think there 's a copy on your desk . lulu : yeah , this way . kate : okay , i do not have time to deal with giselle . you need to find jax , and you need to tell him he has to come here and distract her . maxie : okay . kate : go , maxie . kate : any thoughts ? giselle : i clearly admire your attempt to engage the intellect of the young readers as well as their eye for fashion . no doubt that 's why you picked this one as an assistant . clearly , she ca n't put an outfit together to save her life , but she is intelligent . perhaps your other assistant could provide her with a primer on how to dress . the outfit she was wearing was absolutely stunning . federico cabrero , was n't it ? kate : well , why do n't you ask her yourself ? lulu : what are you -- what are you doing here ? anthony : oh , just stopping by for a visit . ladies , how 's everybody doing today ?

kate has a split personality . starr : d.i.d . -- dissociative identity disorder . michael : why ? i mean , how did that happen ? starr : well , it 's a coping mechanism . kate must have been through something so painful that she could n't handle it , so she created another personality that could . michael : you know a lot about this . starr : i 've seen it firsthand . my dad 's sister and her daughter , my cousin , they have it . when the alter takes over , the real person has no control . michael : so -- connie , not kate , caused that accident . starr : that 's what kate told me . michael : wait . you went to go see her ?

starr : and it felt nothing like i thought it would . with your dad , it was so easy to hate him , but with kate -- god , she feels so guilty . it 's really tearing her apart . she 's not a bad person . she 's just really sick . michael : well , at least you have your answers now . starr : it only took me trying to kill your father to get them . michael : look , that 's over now , all right ? starr : i know , but you -- you kept telling me that your dad was innocent , and i refused to believe you . michael : and i refused to believe you about johnny . starr : you did n't try to kill johnny . when i think back of how close i got -- michael : you did n't go through with it . starr : because of you . i owe you and your dad a huge apology . i 'm sorry . i was wrong . michael : i forgive you . kate : i have to accept what connie did , what she took from starr manning when she caused that accident . ewen : it does n't add up . violence is n't second nature to connie . kate : how can you , of all people , say that ? ewen : she attacked me under immediate threat . that 's a far cry from premeditated murder . kate : she wanted sonny out of the way . easiest way to do that is to send him to prison . ewen : precisely . but if sonny was already facing murder charges supposedly caused by connie 's actions , then why concoct this other plan to have him catch you in bed with another man ? kate : plan `` b `` ? ewen : one usually turns to plan `` b `` when plan `` a `` fails . kate : well , insurance , then . connie could n't be sure he 'd be convicted , and she was right . he was found not guilty , so she went through with her other plan to sleep with johnny . ewen : there 's an enormous difference in scale between infidelity and murder . kate : we 're talking about connie here . ewen : who has proven to be very shrewd up until now , when she 's freely blaming herself for a fatal accident . kate : i do n't understand what you 're saying . why would she confess to something so horrible if she did n't do it ? lulu : i do n't understand what you want with the place . is this part of your amends , that you present this as your personal love boat to carly ? johnny : no . i 'm thinking of a club , a legitimate one , okay . live music , dancing , drinks . what ? lulu : i 've considered that . so maybe i will still do that . johnny : takes a lot of capital to get a club up and running . you 're gon na need cash , something i happen to have a lot of . lulu : you 're not suggesting -- johnny : come on ! if you 're serious about this , why do n't we go in together ? carly : jason , you and sam can work this out . i know you can . jason : too much has happened . carly : have your feelings changed for her or the baby ? jason : no . carly : then go to her and tell her . jason : she does n't believe me . she thinks i 'm just saying it now because the baby 's gone and it does n't matter . carly : okay , that 's even more proof that she 's not thinking clearly , because sam knows that you would n't lie to her about your feelings for her or the baby . jason : sam 's felt alone this whole time . carly : then now is your chance to make it up to her . you go to her , and you tell her that you love her . jason : she wo n't hear it , carly . carly : then you keep telling her and you keep telling her until she does ! sam : it is jason 's fault that my baby died . did he tell you that when he was unburdening himself ? elizabeth : he told me you hold him responsible . sam : jason is responsible . john would have had time to get me to the hospital if it had n't been -- when my baby got sick , the doctors would have been able to do something . they could have . he could be here with me right now , elizabeth . elizabeth : sam , there 's no way the doctors could -- sam : are you defending him right now ? i mean , of course you would be defending him , because nothing is ever jason 's fault . my baby died because of him . it is his fault . elizabeth : sam , he 's a mess right now . sam : really ? well , then go . go , elizabeth . dry his tears . put your arms around him . make sure everything 's gon na be okay . elizabeth : that 's not -- sam : no , i am serious . it 's over . go ! he 's all yours . elizabeth : jason and i are just friends . that 's all . he loves you . and by the way , i do n't think he 's perfect . i know he makes mistakes all the time , and he 's made plenty of them with you . sam : [ scoffs ] only because he loves me so much . elizabeth : yes . sam : it 's over . elizabeth : well , if that 's true , why are you still holding that ? carly : well , look , i , um -- i came here to tell you that johnny and i are back together . jason : what you and johnny do is your business . carly : well , you did n't always feel that way . jason : i 'm in no position to judge right now . and he better treat you right this time around . carly : he 's on notice . believe me . [ cell phone chimes ] carly : it 's work . told them i 'd be in there a half hour ago . jason : you should go . carly : no , no . work can wait . i do n't want to leave you . jason : i 'm okay . i just , you know , need to think about some things . that 's all . carly : okay . i love you . jason : love you , too .

[ scene_break ] carly : this conspiracy theory is just as delusional as you are . franco : hey , i wonder if the commissioner will agree with that . carly : do n't . franco : hi , commissioner . anna : hi . franco : just the person i wanted to see . anna : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] patrick : what are you thinking ? sabrina : nothing . i do n't know . everything . i just ... i 'm happy . patrick : really ? sabrina : [ chuckles ] do i not seem it ? patrick : no , you do . you do . i just want to make sure that ... we 're not going too fast . sabrina : we 're not . we 're not going too fast . i 'm exactly where i want to be with exactly the person i want to be with . patrick : good . i like that . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : this and you ... this means a lot to me . sabrina : ask me again . patrick : hmm ? sabrina : what i 'm thinking . patrick : [ chuckles ] okay . what are you thinking ? sabrina : this .

[ scene_break ] tj : [ sighing ] taylor : how 's it going ? tj : hey . taylor : hey . need an assist ? tj : um , you really should n't be back here . taylor : well , then i guess you should n't tell anyone . [ chuckles ] so , what 's the deal ? tj : well , i do n't know . i 've never really fixed a leak before . taylor : i 'm sure you can figure it out . [ sighs ] you look pretty handy to me . tj : yeah ? taylor : show me what you got . tj : see that . [ scene_break ] carly : you 're not gon na bug anna . i mean , she has important things to do , like solve crimes . franco : i am aware . anna : do you have some information about the shooting here tonight ? huh ? franco : no . of course not . anna : so , what , i 'm just the person that you wanted to see because why ? franco : well , because i want to know if you have any updates about olivia falconeri . is she okay ? she 's alive , right ? anna : as far as i know . she 's in grave condition , though . carly : and she 's gon na be okay , right ? she 's gon na pull through ? anna : i sincerely hope so . yeah , the last i heard , she was being prepped for surgery . franco : that is a huge weight off of my shoulders . i 'm sure carly feels the same way , her being your star employee and all . [ scene_break ] connie : sonny went to check in with his associates . dante : to see if he was the target ? connie : more or less . dante : when does this end ? when does -- when does all this stop ? so , i need you to , uh , teach lulu how to make meatballs . and then when you 're done teaching her , then you have to teach her again , because she burned them tonight . who burns meatballs ? connie : your mother does n't , that 's for sure . dante : no . see , lulu needs you . [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] i need you . see , i ca n't -- i ca n't picture my life without you . i do n't want to . [ sniffles ] you and me against the world . that 's what you said to me .

[ scene_break ] shawn : you did n't give carly the go - ahead ? sonny : why 'd i call off the hit at the quartermaines ' ? shawn : too -- [ sighs ] too many bystanders , potential for injury was too great . sonny : so , knowing that , you think i 'd give the okay for this to go down at the metro court in a crowded place ? what i did not want to happen happened , and now she , olivia , is barely hanging on . shawn : i do n't know what to say , man . sonny : okay . you say nothing . you do n't talk to anyone . the person i want answers from is carly . [ scene_break ] carly : i have n't had a chance to talk to the head of my security team yet , but i 'm about to do that , and you are welcome to any and all security footage . anna : the sooner the better . you know , because the more time that passes , the more difficult it 's gon na be for us to find this guy . carly : you have n't identified a shooter ? anna : no . carly : and you have no leads or anything ? anna : well , nothing i can share with you at the moment . carly : yeah . i just -- sorry i 'm being nosy . i just ca n't believe that it happened here and ... [ sighs ] anna : we ca n't confirm that the shots were fired from that room . you know , that room that you claimed you saw movement out of the corner of your eye . yeah . franco : just glad i could be helpful . anna : yeah . right . so , i 'm gon na get back to the crime scene . franco : hi . carly : what ? franco : okay . [ taps table ] you told me that you were on the phone with your head of security , but you just told anna that you had n't spoken with security yet , so you were either lying to me or you were lying to her . either way , you have something to hide . carly : i do n't get you . you obviously get off on messing with people -- me , in particular . why did n't you tell anna about your theory ? that i was the one that tried to kill you ? franco : you 're having a hard time accepting this , but it might be that you 're having a hard time understanding it . so let me explain myself to you . i screwed up . hugely . tragically . i wanted to punish my brother . everybody else got hurt . i hurt you , carly . and i can not undo that . but i can try and make amends . and pointing the police in your direction does not accomplish that . carly : you want me to say thank you ? for something that 's only in your head ? franco : well , i 'm gon na take the high road whether you do or not . [ scene_break ] anna : we need to get this place taped off . can you start that ? can i talk to you for a second ? do you happen to recall who was sitting where at ms. jacks ' table tonight ? waiter : yeah , i think so . ms. jacks was sitting over there , and her guest was in this chair .

[ sighs ] geez . okay . you can open your eyes . do you think i just jinxed our wedding ? patrick : no . sabrina : do you think , like , in that one moment that you saw me that we just tempted fate , you know ? patrick : sabrina , i do n't believe that 's the way it works . sabrina : because we ca n't have any more bad luck , patrick , not when we 're about to be so happy . levi : warrior 2 is a basic pose you mastered months ago . what 's going on ? maxie : i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm used to doing this in a studio or at least on a hardwood floor . the ground out here is really uneven . levi : not as uneven as it was in machu picchu . you 're not focused . maxie : i 'm sorry . levi : is it because of your little girl ? maxie : her name is georgie . levi : you made peace with the fact that you lost her , and then you suddenly decided to fight with nathan by your side . now your center 's out of whack . you lost your chi . maxie : i 'll find it . levi : when ? maxie : when i 'm not so off . levi : has it occurred to you that you 're off perhaps because you were dishonest with a judge ? maxie : can we please not do this again ? levi : i 'm just saying that perhaps i was right when i advised you to let it go . maxie : are you kidding ? i was relieved and ecstatic when that judge agreed to reschedule the hearing . i could have a second chance with my daughter , and i 'm not gon na waste that . levi : fine . so , if it 's not that , then , what is it ? what 's wrong ? maxie : i just keep thinking about how i might get to see my baby again ... but patrick wo n't get to see his . sabrina : i know . i know , i know , i know that this whole `` bad luck `` thing is just old wives ' tale , but we 've just been through so much to get here , patrick , to our wedding , and i just -- i do n't want to chance it , you know ? patrick : can you just give me a minute , please ? sabrina : so , maybe i should wear something else . do you think that i should , just to , like , make sure that nothing bad ever happens to us ever again ? patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : you know ? because i have just -- i 've never been happier than i am right now , patrick , and i just -- i do n't want that feeling to end . silas : you are so far from being an idiot . nina : well , then , delusional . i mean , two decades have gone by , and of course you should be all about me . i mean , what was i thinking ? you 're a handsome , successful doctor , and sam -- oh , she is great . she 's great . she 's so beautiful . she is beautiful and strong , and ... i 'm mortified . silas : you have to stop talking this way . nina : no . and i come wheeling in , all wifey , and she -- she must have just been , like , `` as if . `` what -- nobody says , `` as if `` anymore ? silas : i just have n't heard it in a long time . nina : i 'm stuck in the ' 90s ! it 's a nightmare ! and then i kissed you . silas : it 's okay . nina : what was i thinking ? i mean , you were already in a relationship when my mom put me ... what did i expect ? silas : this is nothing like that . ava was a terrible mistake . nina : i think i was just holding on to something , you know ? i just needed something to pull me through so i could recuperate . silas : i 'm glad . nina : and then you did n't file for divorce , and so i let my fantasies just run away with me , and i just , you know , thought that we could pick up where we left off . stupid of me , because what would you be doing -- just , you know , twiddling your thumbs , waiting for me to wake up ? silas : i 'm sorry . nina : do n't be sorry . what , for moving on ? for falling in ... do you love her ? do you love sam ? sam : what 's really sad is that this should have never happened . it 's not like sabrina went into premature labor on her own . this happened because of the accident . so , whoever ran her off the road -- that coward is responsible for a child 's death . sabrina : you know what ? maybe it 's a little drastic , but i - i do n't even care because i will not have any bad luck on my wedding day . so , i 'm just gon na wear the dress that felix gave me . and do n't you dare try to peek . patrick : i wo n't . sabrina : okay . do you want a hint ? it 's kind of weird . not -- i mean , it 's nice , but it 's kind of strange for a wedding because , well , it 's black . is n't that bizarre ? why would felix bring me a black dress ? levi : who 's patrick ? maxie : practically my brother - in - law . he was married to robin . levi : your cousin ? maxie : but we grew up more like sisters . i have explained this to you . levi : right . maxie : [ sighs ] patrick is hugely important to me -- not that i 've honored that at all since i 've been back . i have n't even seen him . levi : you could have stopped by . maxie : with his son in the middle of a medical crisis ? patrick was going through hell . and i kept saying to myself , `` oh , i 'll call him tomorrow `` or `` i 'll stop by the hospital later , `` but i never did . and now i ca n't because the baby died . levi : hang on . is this the little kid they were talking about at the nurses ' ball -- the preemie ? maxie : he did n't make it , levi . i mean , can you even imagine what patrick and sabrina must be going through right now ? levi : that 's ... rough . maxie : the whole thing is just so awful . i mean , that -- that poor little boy was n't even given a chance . how incredibly unfair that his little life was ripped away from him like that . levi : it 's not unfair at all . patrick : i know you 're really busy , but could we just talk for a second , please , sabrina ? sabrina : patrick , we 've got our whole lives to talk , but right now there 's no time because i had to get through all of the thank - you notes for all of the presents , our wedding presents , and then i 've got to get organized with everything , and now i 've got a decision to make , you know ? i mean , look , felix bought me this dress , which was really sweet of him . i mean , he was afraid that my mother 's wedding dress was n't gon na make it in time , but it did because my cousin juan brought it all the way from puerto rico . patrick : yes , i remember that part . listen -- sabrina : and so the question is , what do i do , right ? because on the one hand , i want to get rid of the bad karma , but do i really want to marry you wearing black , you know ? no , no . i told you no peeking . patrick : sabrina -- sabrina : although maybe it does n't count if i 'm actually -- patrick : sabrina , stop . listen to me , please , for a second . felix did n't buy you the black dress for the wedding . he bought you the black dress for e funeral . molly : why is n't anyone telling us anything ? diane : you know how the police are , honey . doing everything by the book takes time . molly : it 's pretty simple . either my dad 's okay or he 's not . elizabeth : the thought crossed your mind , too , did n't it -- someone might have gotten to ric ? diane : here 's a thought . why do n't we not try to scare each other with these baseless conspiracy theories ? molly : who says it 's baseless ? someone was out to get my father , and we all know it . diane : yes , but you heard what anna said . your father was with detective west at the time . he was under protection . molly : not from some ambush . this guy could have caught them completely off guard . elizabeth : look , molly , i 'm sorry . diane is right . let 's not jump to conclusions . molly : i just do n't think it 's that big of a jump .

[ chuckles ] i 'm kidding . silas : no , you 're not . nina : no , i 'm not . silas : you should see the way i treated sam in the beginning . nina : when you were helping her son , right ? you were treating him . but -- wow -- that was a year ago . that 's a long time . silas : first , it was all about danny , you know -- doing whatever we could to keep him alive , give him a chance to survive . it was kind of a miracle , really . and then after a time , i started ... to feel something . and then it just hit me one day that ... it was true . i felt something for this person . nina : wow . well , i 'm really happy for you . silas : you do n't have to say that . nina : i mean it . silas : you probably do , do n't you ? sam was the first woman in 20 years that ... i let myself open up to . and even then ... i would n't let her all the way in . it was n't until -- it was n't until your mother told me that you were gone that i allowed my -- i allowed myself to fully commit and admit that i felt something for her . nina : which is love . silas : yes . i love her . rafe : i - i just ca n't believe the baby 's dead . sam : i know . it 's terrible . but i have to admit , your -- your reaction is a little -- are you okay ? [ tires screech ] sam : hey , rafe ... what is it ? sabrina : felix bought me this dress for a funeral ? why ? who died ? nobody died . patrick : sabrina , you need to listen to me . sabrina : no , there ca n't be a funeral , because tomorrow 's our wedding day , you know ? patrick : we 're not getting married tomorrow , sabrina . sabrina : and our wedding has to be perfect . it 's got to be perfect because i 've done everything right , have n't i ? i mean , i even wrote all these thank- you notes for all of the beautiful presents that everybody sent us so that i would n't have to think about it on our honeymoon . i mean , patrick , look at all of this . patrick : we 're not going on a honeymoon . sabrina , please . sabrina : our friends are amazing . i mean [ chuckles ] look at all these beautiful presents they got us . maxie : a baby died , levi . how can you think that 's anything but unfair ? levi : i think it 's incredibly sad . maxie : right . levi : but not unfair . clearly , that child was n't meant to spend any more time on the earth than he did . maxie : so , what -- that makes it okay ? levi : no , it makes it his journey . maxie : oh , my god . levi : his just happened to be shorter than most . maxie : do you hear yourself right now ? patrick lost a child -- one that he loved with all of his heart . levi , parents are not supposed to outlive their children . levi : they are if that 's how the universe planned it . clearly , that child died for a reason . maxie : what reason could there possibly be for taking an innocent child 's life ? levi : i do n't know . maxie : exactly . levi : and you do n't , either . we both just need to accept that there is something larger at work here . maxie : [ scoffs ] that is the biggest crock i have ever heard in my life . sabrina : it 's a shame people sent so many flowers . we 're not gon na be here to enjoy them . it 's not like we can just pack them in our luggage or anything . patrick : sabrina , please look at me . listen ... sabrina : patrick ... please tell me that tomorrow 's gon na be everything i hope it 'll be . patrick : i ca n't say that . sabrina : why not ? i 've worked so hard to make this the happiest day for us , patrick . is this because of the funeral ? patrick : yes . sabrina : i do n't -- i do n't understand . nobody died . patrick : yes . someone did . sabrina : okay . who ? patrick : our baby , sabrina . our son died . molly : can you please just tell us if those gunshots had to do with my father ? anna : yes . unfortunately , they did . elizabeth : what does that mean ? anna : that detective west was opening ric 's sell and ric grabbed his firearm . molly : what ? ! anna : and there was a struggle , and ... shots were fired . diane : are you saying that ric shot detective west ? anna : no . it was the other way around . molly : i told you ! i told you he 'd been hurt ! elizabeth : but he 's gon na be okay , right ? i 'm sure the ambulance is here . 'cause if not , i can help him . anna : no . you ca n't help . elizabeth : is he already at the hospital ? anna : no . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : what ? what ? anna : it was -- it was a fatal wound ... and ric is dead . silas : want to hear something crazy ? nina : i do n't know . do i ? silas : the first time i told sam how i really felt about her was yesterday . nina : wow . you 're kidding . silas : [ chuckles ] hand to god . nina : then i show up . silas : hey ... make no mistake . you being here awake and talking to me -- that is a good thing . nina : i do n't know if sam would agree with that . silas : yes , she would . just ask her . nina : [ sighs ] i should have called you the moment i woke up . instead , i waited for -- for what ? for you to officially get over me . that 's a great job , nina . good job . silas : wait a minute . you 're not actually blaming yourself for any of this , are you ? nina : then i sent you those flowers . i mean , of course you would n't know who they were from . of -- of course . and -- silas : hey , none of this is your fault . that honor goes to your mother . nina : my mother is evil . silas : yeah , pretty much . nina : she made me lose my baby . she made me lose you . silas : i never wanted this . nina : i know you did n't . silas : all those years i prayed for you to wake up . but now ... nina : it 's too late . silas : we missed our chance . nina : you always -- silas : we missed our chance . nina : i think you -- you mean to say i missed my chance . silas : no . i 'm sorry . nina : me too . me too . well , there 's only one thing to do now . i need to get my stuff and get out of your way . sam : do n't get me wrong . i understand that this is upsetting -- hugely upsetting -- but you barely even know patrick and sabrina . it seems like you 're taking this really hard . rafe : i just feel so bad . i mean , as a kid , it was just me and my mom . sometimes she went to dark places . sam : yeah . i remember that . rafe : she was always at her best whenever babies were around . it 's like they brought out this light in her . i do n't -- i do n't know . sam : what ? i think it 's safe to say she 's passed that on to you . rafe : i was crazy about danny when i first met him . sam : the feeling was mutual , you know . rafe : maybe it 's for the best . so much hope and innocence -- i mean , life is just one big possibility , so for that kid to just -- just die -- it gets to me . sam : i know . look , it gets to me , too . your compassion is really sweet . rafe : i just wish there was something i could do to make it better or different . sam : if only we could go back , right ? rafe : yeah . i 'd give anything . sam : me too . but we ca n't . and just so you know , i have made it my mission to find the person responsible for gabriel 's death . sabrina : what are you talking about ? we do n't have a son . patrick : yes , we do , sabrina . sabrina : i mean , obviously , we want children , you know ? and i ca n't wait to give emma a little brother or sister . patrick : sabrina ... sabrina : so , if you want to start trying right away , i 'm all for it . patrick : ... please , just listen to me . please listen . sabrina : patrick , i would listen to you if you were making any sense right now . patrick : we are not getting married tomorrow , sabrina . sabrina : of course we 're getting married tomorrow . patrick : no , we 're not . that was months ago , okay ? do you remember ? think back . robin showed up at the church right when we were about to finish our vows . sabrina : patrick , that 's not possible . robin 's dead . patrick : no , she 's not . sabrina ... sabrina : she 's the one who died . patrick , is tomorrow bringing all of that up for you ? patrick : robin is alive , sabrina . e interrupted us at the church , and that 's why we did n't get married . sabrina : that 's -- that 's not possible . patrick : sabrina , i went back to robin . and you discovered that you were pregnant with our baby . do you remember ? patrick : you just -- you have to tell me the truth , okay ? are you pregnant ? sabrina : i am . i 'm pregnant . sabrina : [ chuckles ] i - i - i -- patrick : sabrina , it was our baby , our son . we were so excited , and then there was a car accident . patrick : what 's this guy doing ? he 's in our -- patrick : sabrina , the trauma put you into premature labor , and the baby -- he came , but he was way too early . sabrina : no . no . [ chuckles ] sabrina : aaaaaah ! patrick : good , good , good , good , good . sabrina : [ grunts ] sabrina : no . patrick : hey , we did everything we could . we loved him with all our hearts , but he was just -- he was too small and he was too weak , and he did n't make it . do you remember ? sabrina : no ! no ! i do n't remember because it never happened , patrick ! you 're -- you 're lying to me ! levi : since when do you think my beliefs are a crock ? maxie : since patrick 's baby died . why does everything have to be about a journey or a reason or the universe ? levi : because that 's the way it is . maxie : how do you know ? why ca n't some things just be senseless , like patrick 's baby died and it 's not fair ? end of story . levi : i disagree . maxie : so , what -- you think it was written in the stars that some innocent little boy just had to stop breathing ? levi : yes . maxie : well , then , that 's one messed - up universe . you think that it 's someone 's plan to bring a baby into this world only to have it snatched away ? that 's wrong . levi : not up to you to decide . maxie : actually , it is , because i can have my own opinion , and my opinion is that this sucks . and i or anyone else does not have to accept that there 's some greater good at work here . in fact , i do n't accept it . levi : seriously , maxie , what 's going on ? this does n't sound anything like you . maxie : really ? who does it sound like ? levi : honestly ? nathan . maxie : [ sighs ] anna : we took a brief statement from detective west . diane : why brief ? anna : because there 's a lot going on , diane . there 'll be a full investigation in due course . molly : what did he say ? elizabeth : how did this happen ? anna : detective west said that ric attempted to grab his firearm and there was a struggle and it became heated , and while they were grappling for control of the firearm , it went off . elizabeth : and so everyone just stood around while he bled out ? anna : no . there was pressure applied to the wound , but when the paramedics got here , ric was already gone . molly : no . this is insane . i just saw him . anna : you have my sincerest condolences . molly : tell her , elizabeth ! elizabeth : it does n't make any sense . ric would never grab a cop 's gun . it 's not like him . anna : i do n't want to discuss this in front of his daughter . but let 's just say it 's consistent with prior incidents . molly : i need to see him . diane : no . no . honey , that 's not wise . molly : and when i do , he will tell me this is all a mistake . elizabeth : molly . hey , mo -- diane : hey . hey . if my client is actually dead , you 're gon na have one hell of a lawsuit on your hands . anna : your client has a history of violence , and he tried to steal an officer 's gun . molly : is that him ? is that my father ? dad , please .

[ sobbing ] anna : i 'm very sorry for your loss . molly : [ sobbing continues ] levi : you do n't see it ? maxie : see what ? levi : you 're soaking up nathan 's reactionary ideas . maxie : because , god forbid , i might actually be thinking for myself ? levi : it 's true . it 's true . he 's all emotion , no reason , and now you 're sounding exactly like him . maxie : well , before , i was sounding exactly like you . levi : is that so bad ? maxie , you 'd evolved so much . you started to learn to accept , to be at peace , to grasp the larger picture . nathan 's just dragging you down . maxie : what , are you leaving ? levi : i 'm going to help with dinner at the shelter . see you at home . nina : you need to get on with your life , and i need to find myself a new one , but , clearly , you 'll be wanting a divorce . silas : nina , what do you say we slow down and we take this one step at a time ? nina : oh , no . let 's just take the bandage off all at once , you know ? it 's better that way . do you have a phone that actually plugs into the wall ? silas : who you gon na call ? nina : j. i 'll stay with j . silas : does he even have the room ? nina : um ... i do n't know . he 'll make the room . he may be a grown man , but he 's the sweet boy that he always was . silas : it 's a very small apartment . two roommates -- i 've been there . nina : okay . well , you know , um ... unfortunately , i do n't have the money to upgrade , thanks to mommy dearest , and he 's a cop . that 's just the way it goes . i guess i 'll get to know my roommates really , really well . silas : nina , slow down . nina : what ? i mean , it 's an adventure . you know i 'm always up for an adventure . you know me . ah . okay . here . here we go . this is -- can you -- can you explain how this works ? can you tell me how this works ? silas : no . nina : no , i ca n't use your phone ? silas : no , you 're not calling your brother . you can stay here with me . sam : i told you i went to see patrick earlier today . rafe : how 's he doing ? sam : not good . we talked about a lot of stuff , and we finally got around to talking about the accident . it does n't seem like the police have any leads , so since i 'm a p.i . and patrick is my friend , i offered to hunt down the person who 's responsible for gabriel 's death . i figured it 's the least i could do to help . rafe : you do n't think someone did it on purpose , do you ? sam : i have -- i have no idea . but whether they did or did n't , whoever it was -- they did n't stop . they did n't call for help or to see if anyone was hurt . i mean , who does that ? they just kept on driving . sabrina : why are you lying to me about something so awful ? patrick : sabrina , i know that this hurts . sabrina : no , patrick . it does n't hurt because none of that ever happened . patrick : this hurts more than anything has ever hurt before , and i 'm right there with you . we ca n't just forget what happened , sabrina . we have to admit ... what has happened . we had a son . sabrina : what ? stop , patrick . would you stop saying that ? patrick : we named him gabriel , after your mother . patrick : you know , it 's funny . he looks like a gabriel . sabrina : he does , does n't he ? patrick : he was too small . he was -- he was too weak . they told us that it was the end , and we had him baptized . sabrina : patrick , you 're not even religious . patrick : we had to say goodbye , sabrina . sabrina : goodbye , my sweet gabriel . sabrina : goodbye ? patrick : you listened to his heartbeat . sabrina : [ whimpers ] patrick : felix brought you your mom 's stethoscope , and you listened to his heartbeat , and you held him ... sabrina : [ sobbing ] patrick : ... and you listened to his last breath . sabrina : no ! no ! sabrina : no ! no ! no ! no ! no ! patrick : come here . shh . shh . sabrina : [ sobbing ] oh , no ! [ sobbing ] nina : i ca n't stay here . silas : why is that ? nina : because you 're with sam . silas : i 'm not gon na abandon you . you 're part of my life , and i 'm grateful for that . nina : it 's too much . silas : i was n't there for you before this happened . let me be there now . nina : oh , wow . you 're making it all about you , huh ? silas : well , is n't it ? hey ... whether you like it or not , you 're stuck here . nina : it 's very nice of you to offer , but i do n't think it would be very fair to sam . silas : we 'll talk to her . she 'll be fine with it . nina : right . your girlfriend will be fine with your wife moving in . silas : it 's the right thing to do . nina : no , listen -- j can take care of me . silas : listen , i do n't think he can take care of you the way i do . would you stop arguing ? ! my mind 's made up ! nina : wow . listen to you , all stern and in control . silas : i have no idea where that came from . nina : are you sure ? silas : positive . nina : thank you . thank you very much . i hope sam knows what a good man you are . sam : i - i ca n't even comprehend it . who would leave after causing an accident ? i mean , it 's bad enough that sabrina went into premature labor , but what if someone else was hurt or wor -- worse ? i mean , i - i guess the worst happened later . rafe : i - i do n't know . the whole thing is just awful . sam : the grief that patrick and sabrina are going through right now is so huge , it can swallow you whole . rafe : it should n't have happened . sam : you know , people say it helps to get closure , and you might not think that at the time , but it 's true . it makes a difference to understand why something terrible happened . and that 's why i 'm gon na find out who did this to gabriel . i mean , i know -- i know it 's not gon na bring their baby back , but maybe i can get some peace of mind for patrick and sabrina . sabrina : [ sobbing ] no ! i want him back ! can you just bring him back , please ? patrick : i wish i could , but i ca n't . sabrina : then do it ! patrick : i ca n't . sabrina : oh , my god ! patrick : i 'm so sorry . he 's gone . there 's nothing we can do . sabrina : my gabriel ! my baby !

[ scene_break ] jordan : quit ? and how would that help you get out of here ? tj : look , if keeping me locked up here is some political move by the mayor , then beat her at her own game . say you 're out of here unless she okays my release . jordan : i tried that , tj -- i wrote a resignation letter last night . i showed it to lomax , and she called my bluff . she made it very clear that , yeah , she 'll let me quit . so , i backtracked on it , okay ? because really , where does that leave us ? you 'd still be in a cell , and we 'd have to deal with whoever she appointed to replace me . i would be in no position to help you . tj : well , according to you , you 're in no position now . jordan : yes , i am ! it 's just not gon na happen immediately . tj : [ sighs ] jordan : tj ! i promise you we 're gon na try . we 're gon na figure something out , but in the meantime , i have to treat you like everyone else . tj : [ scoffs ] not everyone else . jordan : i 'm sorry ? tj : you know , there sure are a lot of guilty people running free around the city . luke spencer , julian jerome . only certain people end up behind bars . like me or shawn . now , what is it that we have in common ? jordan : are you implying this is a racial thing ? tj : that 's exactly what it is , is n't it ? jordan : you think this is about race ? tj : that 's the reason i 'm still in a cell , is n't it ? the same reason why shawn was the only one to go to prison after you spent months trying to bring down julian jerome and duke lavery . shawn was n't even the target , but he 's the one who took the fall , and that 's exactly the reason why this whole ridiculous case has n't been dropped already . jordan : you do not want to go down that road with me of all people . with mayor lomax ? tj : i think lomax is terrified how it might look . that she was treating me differently because i 'm black . but that 's exactly why i 'm in this mess in the first place . i was singled out because of the color of my skin . jordan : tj , that might be true of the guard , but come on . tj : i was doing nothing wrong . i was buying molly a gift using my credit card showing my id . the charge went through . but looking back , now i know why that clerk took so long to wrap up those earrings . she was calling security . she figured i was black , so the card had to be fraudulent or stolen . that 's why the security guard stopped me at the door . if i was a white teenager , do you think he would 've given me that same hard time ? no ! this whole thing happened because i 'm black , all right ? and instead of having my back , your damn detective arrested me . [ scene_break ] valerie : it 's awful . poor kid . dante : he was trying to buy his girlfriend a present . and the idiot security guard just profiles him for no good reason . end of story . valerie : wish i could say i was surprised . dante : i know , right ? every -- every time you turn on the tv on the news , you hear one of those stories and you 're disgusted by it , but you 're not shocked anymore . valerie : no . i mean , those stories have happened to me . [ scene_break ] luke : i do n't know where your mother is . she 's probably still visiting nikolas . lulu : oh . come . luke : uh - oh . what ? lulu : `` what `` ? i was hoping that both of you would come to your senses and this whole reunion had been called off . luke : why are you fighting this so much , lulu ? most kids from broken homes dream about their parents getting back together . i 'm not a kid . i 've watched you and mom go around and around with each other . i 've seen the buildup , i 've seen the crash at the end , and maybe things will end differently this time , dad . maybe they will . but even if they do , even if you and mom are on your way to your happily ever after , tracy was the one that stood by you . tracy believed in you . and you thanked her by breaking her heart . [ scene_break ] tracy : ned knew months before anybody else that there was something off with luke . he told me that luke threatened to kill him , and i told ned he was a liar . you came to town , you said , `` mom , take it slow . even if luke is cured , he did you a lot of pain in the past . maybe he 's just taking you for yet another ride . `` but i knew better , did n't i ? i knew that after everything luke and i had been through and everything i did to fight for him that we were finally on solid ground . i should 've known that that was never gon na happen as long as laura was still out there . [ scene_break ] nikolas : that phone call was just -- just business . laura : sounded pretty cutthroat . [ chuckles ] nikolas : it is , actually . high risk , high reward , i - i suppose . just between you and me , the cassadine finances are n't quite what they used to be . [ chuckles ] laura : oh . nikolas : uh ... good ol ' uncle victor was siphoning off cassadine holdings to fund his insane clinic project that he had going on , and by the time i found the leak , there 'd already been considerable damages , so ... laura : oh . well , i 'm sure you can turn it around . nikolas : i plan to . laura : if there 's anything i can do to help , just ask . i mean , i actually do know something about corporate finance . i used to work for edward quartermaine himself . this is way back when he was so concerned about your grandfather taking over elq . [ scene_break ] sam : the only way to find out who rosalie is working for is from rosalie herself . sabrina : okay , but she 's pretty good at covering her tracks , and it 's not like she 's just gon na come out and say it . sam : not to me , no . sabrina : what are you thinking ? sam : i have a plan that just might work . [ scene_break ] jake : [ chuckles ] well , i am looking forward to becoming a legitimate member of the workforce . i thank you very much . michael : sure thing . now , if you 'll , uh , head down to the basement , security will set you up with a temporary id , and you 'll have a chance to meet some of your team , all right ? so , welcome aboard . jake : thank you . thank you . michael : time to get back to work . jake : absolutely . see you around . hey . michael : rosalie , what 's up ? rosalie : i think this is a mistake . michael : with jake ? how come ? [ scene_break ] jake : hey , sam . [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] rosalie : i just do n't think it 's safe for somebody like jake to be in the office . michael : because of what happened at the haunted star ? look , jake was n't responsible for his actions . what people seem to forget is that he warned us about the bomb . he 's the whole reason no one died that night . rosalie : yes , but the trouble that he caused on the boat that night was because of the same people that you think might be trying to take over this company . did you ever consider that jake might be a mole for the cassadines ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : have you eaten anything ? uh , i can have the staff bring you some breakfast . we can spend the day together until spencer gets home from school . laura : no , no , really . i do n't think that i can stay . i , uh -- it was just a quick hello . nikolas : a quick hello after a trans - atlantic flight ? laura : yeah , yeah . i 'm really sorry that i missed spencer , but i got to get going . nikolas : wait , wait . are you gon na tell me what 's going on here or what ? laura : [ shudders ] uh ... okay , okay . i suppose you will hear about this eventually anyway . um ... [ sighs ] the other night , luke and tracy were celebrating their engagement . nikolas : okay , `` were `` ? what happened ? laura : i happened . i told luke how i feel about him and now we 're back together again . [ scene_break ] lulu : the engagement party was your idea ! dad , you came back with pronouncements of love and commitment , and then you pulled the rug right out from under her . luke : do n't you think i know that ? it 's killing me ! lulu : then fix it ! [ scene_break ] dillon : mom , i hate seeing you like this . it 's so not you . tracy : wow , everyone has a selective narrative when it comes to me , including me . the truth is ... i 'm a born patsy . men just line up to deceive me . ashton , luke , your father . this is me . those are the facts . my history speaks for itself . dillon : it sounds like you 're the one with the selective narrative . tracy : [ sighs ] dillon : i remember some losers who betrayed your trust , but i also remember how you bounced back each time stronger than before . despite blows that would 've crushed other people , you still had the courage to open your heart and let someone in . you never lost your ability to love . so , screw luke and laura . you 're gon na come back from this stronger than you 've ever been . tracy : that means a lot to me . i love your faith in me . [ inhales ] i do n't know if i have any fight left in me this time . [ scene_break ] lulu : dad , there is still time for you to make this right , to get back together with tracy . hell , if you want to say it was your mental illness that caused you to waffle , i 'll have your back . luke : i ca n't just get back with tracy , lulu . it 's a lot more complicated than that . lulu : what is it ? are you afraid to hurt mom ? i know you have trouble saying no to her . your instinct is to protect her , and mine is , too , because mom has been so fragile all of my life . but she 's not sick anymore . wait , is she ? did -- did mom lie to me when she said that she was okay ? luke : no , your mother 's fine . i 'm not doing this because of your mother 's health . lulu : then why are you doing it , because you have n't given me a reason . and you and i both know that tracy is not as tough as she wants people to believe . luke : of course , i know that . i wish i could do this differently , but i ca n't . lulu : why not ? ! dad , what are n't you telling me ? [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm sorry , i did n't -- i did n't realize you 'd been through something like that . valerie : well , you have the luxury of not realizing . you do n't have to think about it all the time . you 've never had to experience being pulled over by some cop , because the car you drive looks a little too nice for you . dante : that happened to you ? valerie : more than once . which is pretty ironic considering i 'm as much white as i am black , but that 's not what those people saw . some prejudices , they get so beaten into people that they do n't even realize they 're acting on them . dante : but you know that 's not me , right ? right ? valerie : dante . dante : well , no , you got to tell me the truth . i mean ... is there something you think i should 've done differently with tj 's situation ? [ scene_break ] jordan : i 'm gon na stop you right there . there are plenty of people left in the world who you can call racist . dante falconeri is not one of them . he was there to help you . he was trying to make this all go away when that bigot at wyndham 's would n't back down . tj : dante could 've refused to arrest me . jordan : and you could 've stayed put . that security guard would n't have a leg to stand on if you had n't tried to shove him out of the way . tj : are you honestly saying i 'm in the wrong here ? do you remember what it 's like being a teenager ? to have somebody follow you around the store assuming you 're a thief the second they saw your face ? jordan : you laid hands on the man . how many times have i told you , you ca n't stoop to their level ! tj : it 's not like i punched the guy . i tried to keep my cool . i really did . but it was impossible . what , mom ? did you forget after you got your badge what it 's like to be embarrassed and humiliated ? if you just wanted to grab a soda or fill up on gas or buy your girlfriend a gift . this happens to me all the time , mom . jordan : i know ... i know . no , i have n't forgotten . tj : then why ? why are you blaming me for finally standing up for myself ? why are you punishing me when you should be proud ? jordan : i am proud of you . all day every day . but what you did to that jackass , i ca n't make that go away . damn it , i wish you would 've just trusted dante to do his job . tj : how could you ever expect me to trust him ? that is the same guy that helped you lie to me for a better part of a year . it 's the same guy that helped you put away shawn . i ca n't trust him because i ca n't trust you . all right ? and i never will again . jordan : thomas . tj : no . jordan : you do n't want to say things that you ca n't take back . tj : i 'm only speaking the truth . you did n't just betray shawn , mom . you betrayed me . jordan : i 'm a cop , son . putting away criminals is what i do . tj : you know , maybe not everything shawn and duke did was legit . but they were n't dangerous . jordan : thomas , you know better than that . tj : sure , they had to protect what was theirs . had to stand up to guys like jerome , who the law ca n't touch . but they were good guys who had my back when you were n't there . jordan : okay , okay . let 's just -- let 's back it up for a second here . if you feel like i betrayed you , you feel like you do n't want to trust me , that 's fine . i get where you 're coming from . but at least have all the facts about the people that you 're holding up on a pedestal before you judge me . tj : what are you talking about ? jordan : i get it , okay ? you think that i 'm this two - faced monster who betrayed shawn . but shawn has n't told you everything about how all this went down . tj : you betrayed him and sent him to prison . what else is there to know ? jordan : that shawn suspected that i was a cop months ago . and he took his suspicions to duke lavery , and you know what duke said ? he said that shawn was wrong and that everything was fine . and then duke tried to have me killed . [ scene_break ] valerie : dante , i was n't talking about you , either as a cop or as a man . dante : i know , but ... valerie : that racist security guard insisted on pressing charges against tj . what could you have done ? refuse to arrest him ? dante : i do n't know ! i do n't know -- maybe . you know ? i do n't know . i just keep going through my head , thinking about what i did and what i could 've done differently , you know ? i mean , did i -- did i talk the guard down enough ? did i -- should i have vouched for tj more ? i mean , i do n't know . and then you talk about prejudice and how it runs deep and ... how do we not know we 're acting on this kind of stuff ? valerie : dante , stop . dante : you know , as a cop , i got to make decisions in the moment , you know , and i try to do my best . valerie : stop . dante , stop . i 'm not gon na let you go down that road . [ scene_break ] laura : you think i 'm awful , do n't you , for what i did to tracy ? nikolas : no , i ... no , i do n't -- look , from -- from everything that you 've told me , all you did was show up and tell the truth . luke is the one who chose to break off his engagement with tracy . and although i - i am sorry that she feels humiliated , she 's not my mother -- you are . you 're the one i do n't want to see hurt , so here 's my truth . i think you can do a whole lot better than luke spencer . [ scene_break ] luke : all right ! i have n't been totally up front with you or with tracy . lulu : okay . okay , what are n't you saying ? tell me . luke : your mother -- dillon : you ! okay . right now . you 're gon na answer for what you did to my mother . [ scene_break ] sabrina : oh ... i 'm sorry . i did n't realize anybody was in here . aj dropped her pacifier earlier . tracy : it 's all right . i was just checking to see how the market opened . all right , you caught me . i 'm sure you 've heard about the train wreck that was my engagement party . sabrina : i 'm here every day taking care of aj . it 's kind of hard not to hear things . but if i can just say , i know how difficult this is . tracy : no offense ... but you have absolutely no idea what i 'm going through . sabrina : actually , i do . [ scene_break ] michael : rosalie . rosalie : i 'm serious . what if jake is working for the cassadines ? every minute that he 's here , you 're one step closer to losing your company . michael : jake is n't working for the cassadines . rosalie : how can you be so sure ? michael : because jake was so eager to be free of helena that he had a brain surgery that could 've killed him . besides , i 've had him vetted -- he has n't bought a pack of gum without my team knowing about it . rosalie : do you do that intensive vetting for all your employees ? michael : most . rosalie : everyone here , you went through their lives with a fine - tooth comb ? michael : is this about the secret that nina clay is holding over you ? [ scene_break ] sam : jake . hey . what are you doing here ? jake : i work here . sam : at elq ? jake : mm - hmm . there 's not a lot of people who would hire somebody without an identity and multiple arrests , but michael took a chance . sam : did he ? wow . jake : he did . sam : well , that actually does n't surprise me . he 's a pretty fair person . jake : he is . i 'm gon na do my best to justify his faith in me . sam : so , what does he have you doing ? jake : head of security . sam : wow ! jake : yeah . sam : yeah , congratulations . jake : thanks . so , what are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : as horrible as it must 've been to have laura crash your engagement party , at least it was n't your wedding . tracy : you make a valid point . sabrina : look , i 'm not discounting your pain . just the opposite . i know how it feels to imagine the rest of your life with the man of your dreams , and then she walks in . and you know deep down you 're never gon na be able to compete with what they had . and all you want to do is crawl into a dark hole and just ... disappear . [ scene_break ] dillon : where 's the one liner ? the wry quip , the riff about how you 're just being you ? about how stomping all over people who care about you is just the luke spencer way . lulu : my dad was just about to tell me something -- dillon : my mom is at home devastated ! wasting her tears on you . and you know what 's even worse ? she 's blaming herself . yeah . she thinks it 's her fault because she was dumb enough to trust you after everything you 've already done to her . but we all know better , do n't we , luke ? we know this is all on you . i waited and waited for you to do the right thing , for you to show your face , to explain yourself . to man up . but you never did . so , now i am coming to you for answers . why ? why did you abandon my mother ? [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm sorry , i should be going . uh , luke and i have an awful lot of stuff that we really need to figure out together , and ... are we okay ? nikolas : yes , of course . look , you -- you do n't have to ask for my blessing . but if you want it , you have it . okay ? laura : mm - hmm . nikolas : i just want you to be happy . laura : and i want you to be happy . whatever is going on with work right now , please do n't allow it to consume your life . you know , you seem like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders . nikolas : [ chuckles nervously ] [ scene_break ] rosalie : you know , i - i should n't have said anything about the whole vetting thing . michael : look , rosalie , whatever your secret is , it 's obviously very personal to you . look , it has nothing to do with how you do your job as my assistant . you asked me to back off , and so i did . i 'd never have my investigators look into your history if it was against your wishes , all right ? look , you -- you -- you had my back last fall when no one else did . you of all people have earned my trust . [ scene_break ] sam : i was at the quartermaines ' yesterday with danny , and michael was n't there , so i figured i would stop by , check his schedule , and see if he wanted to come have dinner with danny and me . jake : oh , very nice . sam : yeah . jake : how is it living with patrick ? sam : it 's , um , it 's going pretty good , actually . it felt like a really big step at first , but ... it was -- it was totally worth it . what about you and elizabeth ? jake : it 's going pretty well . yeah , it 's going pretty well . sam : good . sam : ooh , fun . jake : yeah , that way we could date instead of , you know , me just living there 'cause i have nowhere else to go . sam : oh , come on . i 'm sure she did n't mind . jake : i did . how 's that suv running ? sam : it 's great . jake : yeah ? sam : thank you . jake : yes . sam : thank you for asking . you know , elq might have gained a head of security , but port charles definitely lost a really , really good mechanic . jake : thank you . i appreciate that . sam : i ... i have an idea . why do n't you and elizabeth join patrick and i for dinner ? i mean , elizabeth and patrick are our best friends , and it 'll give us all a chance to socialize . imagine . jake : [ chuckles ] yeah , sounds great . thank you . sam : yeah . will be great . um , i ... should 've called first because that meeting is probably gon na take a really long time . um , i 'm gon na go , yeah . jake : would you like me to tell him that you called , stopped by ? sam : no , no , no , no , no . that 's fine . jake : you 're sure ? sam : yeah . i 'm totally sure . jake : okay . sam : see you around . jake : drive safe . sam : will do . jake : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] tj : duke put a hit on you ? jordan : lavery 's personal bodyguard tried to kill me twice . once on the pier , and another time at my apartment the night of the nurses ' ball . tj : no , no . no -- no , mr. lavery would n't do that . he offered to pay for -- jordan : generously offered to pay for your college . he did n't do that out of the goodness of his heart . he did that because he was feeling guilty about trying to have your mother killed . just so we 're on the same page here . tj : but -- but that means that -- that shawn 's -- jordan : no . no , no , no . wait . shawn had nothing to do with it . tj : but mr. lavery was so nice ! [ sighs ] jordan : i 'm not telling you this to tear down another person who you look up to , baby . i 'm just trying to get you to see what i did from my perspective . when i saw your face ... when you found out that i was a drug dealer ... it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest . that look of disappointment in your eye , that ... that was like the most pain i could ever handle in my life . and i thought that i could get through it if i thought that maybe finally , when you finally found out the truth , that you would be proud of me . but by the time you found out , it was too late . [ scene_break ] dante : i did n't do enough to protect tj . valerie : you did what was required of you . and now that the story 's out there , maybe something can be done to help tj . dante : how ? how ? you saw the footage . you thought he was guilty , too . valerie : yeah , that 's because the only version out there is that security guard 's . but once the truth comes out , he 's gon na have to answer for his racist behavior . and maybe wyndham 's will ... sack that son of a bitch . or maybe they 'll rethink some of their security policies . it 's terrible what tj had to go through , because there 's still so much hate in the world . but ... from my perspective , it is n't coming from you . [ telephone rings ] dante : right ... [ clears throat ] uh , falconeri . yeah , great . thanks for calling . valerie : what was that ? dante : the credit - card company calling to confirm that the charge on tj 's card was valid . [ scene_break ] tj : look , mom , i 'm glad you 're alive . look , i do n't know what i would 've done if i had lost you . it 's not like i think the mob is great . i think you thought you were doing the right thing , and shawn just got caught in the crossfire . jordan : so ... so , you believe me ? you understand ? tj : but i just ca n't help but feel that the greater good is gon na always be your first priority . over shawn and over me . and the fact still remains that i am being held here when i have n't done anything wrong . and my own mother is the one that 's keeping me here . [ scene_break ] jake : thank you for getting back to me on that . okay . rosalie : jake ... can i help you with something ? jake : yes , actually , uh ... is it just you on this desk , or is somebody else here ? rosalie : just me . why ? jake : no reason . just learning what 's what around here . is michael free ? rosalie : yeah , he said you should go right in once you came back . jake : okay . thanks .

sonny : sam came up with a solution to everyone 's problems . we 're going to stage an intervention . emily : for ? sonny : jason . i mean , well , you know -- hey , as you know , basically , he dug himself in a hole he ca n't get out of . so you , me , sam -- emily : no way ! sonny , you ca n't go anywhere near jason when you 're like this . sonny : like what ? emily : sonny , you 're not acting normally . elizabeth : you 're wrong . lucky ca n't possibly have been on anything during that stakeout . he would never do something like that . lucky : you 're monitoring my behavior now ? patrick : just pointing out the obvious -- you 're here to check up on elizabeth again . what 's it going to take for you to trust your wife and realize there 's nothing going on between us ? lucky : i actually came here to apologize . i do trust my wife . i was wrong about a lot of things , and i 'm sorry if i accused you . robin : no , carly is the one who 's lying . i 'm sure of it . carly : robin , get a life , would you , please ? jax : it 's ok . this is all wrong . i 'm sorry that you have to witness this , but it 's time the truth came out . carly : do n't do this , jax . jax : it 's ok . robin 's right . [ robin sighs ] jax : i 'm not john 's father . you are . nikolas : just -- just let me understand this for -- for one minute . you fixed a paternity test , claimed to be john 's father , and then lied about all of it ? you kept my son away from me ? jax : yes . jax : you know why i did this , right ? nikolas : no , no . jax : i wanted to keep john safe from your murdering grandmother . and i originally did this to keep courtney safe . nikolas : did courtney know that -- that i was the father ? jax : when the baby was born , she wanted to name him john after my father . i felt she deserved to know the truth , so i told her . nikolas : yeah , and what was her reaction ? jax : she was angry , but she also let me explain my reasons . and she forgave me . she said that we all did the wrong thing sometimes for the right reasons . nikolas : just -- so -- so she was n't going to tell me she was going to keep up the lie like everybody else ? jax : no , she wanted to tell you the truth . nikolas : yeah . the last time i saw courtney , she told me she loved me . she was -- she was struggling to say something else , but unfortunately she died before she could get the words out . obviously , she was trying to tell me that the child was ours . you ignored courtney 's last wish for her child and kept up a lie . jax : i 'm really sorry it turned out this way . i did n't have time to discuss it with her , so i made the -- the best call i thought at the time . for the safety of john . nikolas : to what ? to what ? it certainly worked out for you , did n't it , jax ? you -- you could 've kept silent , and i would 've never known that john was my son . so you tell me why you 're telling me the truth now . lucky : elizabeth and i were under a lot of stress . i was recovering , and i was n't exactly a model patient , as you probably noticed . i -- i was worried about a lot of things while i was laid up . i felt useless . i was worried about my back , my job , money . elizabeth -- she just tried to handle everything without me , and , anyhow , i misinterpreted a lot of stuff . patrick : apology accepted . lucky : i still think you 're scum . but i know ezabeth would n't cheat on me . patrick : well , nice to know you 're back to your old way . lucky : see you around . patrick : hey -- uh -- congratulations , you and your partner , on that illegal gun dealer . lucky : partner ? patrick : well , whoever was in the alley with you . elizabeth : lucky 's completely professional about his job . jason : it was just my impression . something seemed a little off . elizabeth : well , he did say that he was afraid he 'd gotten rusty . that 's why he 's been spending so much time at the shooti rage . i 'm not surprised he did n't shoot as well as he normally does . jason : yeah , but he was n't following procedure at all . elizabeth : well , he 'd been out on a stakeout all night . i 'm sure his back was hurting and -- and he was probably exhausted . jason : you 're right , it 's -- it 's possible . elizabeth : oh . i 've been making excuses like i 've been doing all along . the truth is lucky 's been taking some real serious pain medication . he would n't be the first person who -- tell me everything you saw in that alley , everything that made you think lucky could be on drugs . lainey : so what makes you think you could be suffering from bipolar disorder ? ric : well , it -- uh -- it started in college . lainey : can you be more specific ? ric : well , i get this feeling -- um -- a kind of euphoria . i mean , i get a lot of energy , i 'm -- i 'm impulsive . lainey : for example ? ric : well , i make extravagant purchase you know ? i buy things suddenly that i feel i ca n't do without . lainey : do you ever feel angry ? ric : well , yeah , i fly off at the slightest provocation . i mean , for instance , the other day i -- i practically attacked a contractor who 's working on our house . lainey : is this construction project something that 's important to you ? ric : no , i 'm just -- i feel like i 'm obsessing over it , you know , and fussing over every little detail . one minute everything seems to be going very well , but the next i think it 's going to be a complete and total disaster . i feel like i 'm -- i 'm not in balance , like i 'm swinging from one extreme to the other . lainey : what do you know about bipolar disorder ? ric : not much . i mean -- well , i read about some of it online . i felt those extreme highs . and then when you crash , you feel like you do n't know where you are , you ca n't move or think . i just -- i do n't want it to happen again , dr . winters , and i -- i was hoping that maybe you can give me some advice on how to manage it . lainey : so when are you going to tell me what this is really about ? emily : you 've tried to explain your behavior , but it does n't ring true . sonny : ok , i admit -- i 'm -- you know , i 'm moody and i get depressed . i do n't know what you want me to say . emily : it 's more than that . sonny , your mood swings are extreme -- one minute you 're happy , the next minute you 're raging . sometimes you do n't even remember what you said or what you did . you know you 're like this , do n't you ? i mean , you 've been like this before . sonny : i 'm -- i 'm having a hard time right now , ok ? but i 'm -- i 'm going to be ok because i 'm with you . emily : you are . sonny , you are . but this is exactly what jason warned me about . sonny : jason was trying to scare you . emily : yes , because of this . this is the reason he did n't want us together . sonny : no , no , because he was -- he was trying to break us up because he -- he felt that my lifestyle was dangerous . that 's why he stole the business from me . emily : jason 's real fear is what he calls your dark side . he 's afraid that you 're going to hurt me and that i 'm not going to be able to handle it . sonny : he 's being an overprotective brother . that 's what he does with you . emily : sonny , if he sees that you 're this volatile -- listen to me -- what do you think he 's going to do ? sonny : i would never hurt you . if i lost it , jason would help me like he always does . but he would also make sure that you and i could never be together again . lainey : the symptoms you 've described are the same as your brother 's , and there 's evidence that bipolar disorder can run in families . ric : oh , there 's a genetic link ? lainey : i gather sonny has exhibited similar symptoms , although i 've never witnessed any of them . well , you 're concerned that you may have the same disorder as your brother . that 's why you 're here , right ? ric : yeah . um -- is there a way to tell for sure ? is there a blood test or something ? lainey : unfortunately , no . the only way to identify bipolar disorder is to work up a complete medical history and do psical and psychological examinations . ric : what can i do to manage it ? lainey : avoid the obvious triggers -- drugs and alcohol , steer clear of anything that makes you tense or conflicted or overly emotional . emily : hi . ric : hi . emily : are you here to visit someone ? ric : yeah , as a matter of fact . dr. winters , actually . she 's -- uh -- she 's going to be helping me with a consult for a case that i 'm working on . thanks a lot . lainey : mm - hmm . emily : i think sonny 's getting worse . jason : when i got to the alley , lucky was -- you know , he was firing wildly in the direction of the gun dealer . he had a -- he had a clear shot , but he was having trouble reloading his weapon . elizabeth : that does n't sound like him at all . jason : yeah , and i -- i did n't know what was going on . i was n't sure . i thought he could be hurt , so i fired and i took the guy down . lucky : what makes you think i had a partner ? patrick : well , do n't cops always work in pairs ? lucky : i worked alone on this bust . patrick : that 's a lot of responsibility for someone coming off of an injury . lucky : you do n't think i can handle it ? patrick : no , i did n't say that . i took the bullet out of the guy 's leg . perfectly placed -- one shot right to the leg , just enough to immobilize the guy but not to seriously injure him . lucky : yeah , well , that 's what i was trained to do . i saw that i had a clear opening and i dropped him . patrick : from what i understand , it 's tough to be accurate with a .45 from that distance . lucky : a .45 ? well , i use a 9 millimeter . patrick : really ? lucky : yeah . patrick : hey , what do i know about guns ? lucky : yeah . you know your job , and i know mine . elizabeth : he did n't realize you 're the one who -- who took the shot ? jason : well , his shot came a moment later . he probably thought he took the guy out himself . elizabeth : and he had no clue you were there ? jason : well , i -- i made a noise when i was leaving , and lucky took a shot at me . elizabeth : oh -- oh , thank god he missed you . jason : elizabeth , it was n't even close . now , it 's possible that lucky -- you know , he could 've panicked . it was just my impression that he was unfocused and very sloppy . elizabeth : like he was on drugs . kristina : can you play with me ? sam : oh . not now , sweetie . i have a doctor 's appointment . i have to -- i have go for a checkup . but as soon as i get back -- huh ? yeah ? -- maybe we could jump in the lake . ugh . all right . i 'll be back . manny : hi . kristina : what are you doing here ? manny : oh , i was just taking a little walk , you know , and i saw you . oh , wow -- appaloosa . she 's my favorite . you probably do n't remember me , huh ? we met once outside of kelly 's -- you dropped your dolly and i gave it back to you . kristina : oh , missy ? manny : that 's right . a lot has changed since then , huh ? you have a new house , a new sister who 's all grown up . it must be fun to have a big sister to talk to and share a room with , huh ? kristina : sam lives in the backroom right next to the garage . viola : kristina ? kristina : bye . manny : bye . carly : jax told the truth because he 's an honorable man , and he wanted to do what 's best for john . nikolas : `` honorable `` ? what -- what 's honorable about stealing another man 's child ? tell me . carly : jax loves john ! and he wanted to keep that little boy safe and happy and give him the life that courtney wanted him to have . nikolas : courtney wanted me to know the truth . jax : courtney was n't considering the danger . the threat to john is real . you do realize this ? nikolas : but it 's -- it 's up to me , jax , to protect my son , not you jax : yeah , yeah , you 're right . regardless of how i think john should be raised , the fact remains you 're his father , i 'm not . nikolas : oh , that -- that 's very , very generous of you , jax . thank you . carly : jax did this out of love , nikolas . nikolas : `` out of love `` ? the only reason he confessed is because robin busted him . carly : and you did n't believe her ! you did n't believe her ! you were convinced that maxie forged the paternity test and you did n't want him to have another . jax could 've gotten away with it . nikolas : it does n't matter . she would n't have given up . the truth would 've come out sooner or later and you know it ! carly : jax is not crazy . he was trying to protect john . nikolas : yeah , like you both keep telling me over and over again . carly : no , this has tortured him , and he has struggled with this decision from day one . nikolas : and from day one , he 's kept a child that belongs to me . carly : jax was thinking about john , not himself , and no one could love a child more than he loves john . nikolas : what about you , carly ? you 're supposed to be courtney 's best friend . how long have you been lying to me about john ? song : `` hot dog , life is tasting pretty good `` nikolas : my son was lying in an incubator fighting for his life . every breath he took could 've been his last . you knew that , and you said nothing . jax : carly did n't find out till months later . nikolas : i -- i do n't care . jax : i asked her to keep quiet . i told her it would be best for everyone . she did this for me . robin : jax , why do you continue to stick up for her ? jax : because it 's the truth . robin : why can you not see her for the woman that she is ? carly : you rip john 's life apart , and now you want to dictate how we deal with it ? robin : jax , i have known you for years . you 're a good guy , you 're a decent man , and you would do the right thing . she would not . jax : it was my decision to lie . robin : maybe before the baby was born . but afr that , she kept on you to keep the secret , did n't she ? she wanted so much to be a mother to john , to help raise him , to be a part of his life , and she knew the only way to do that was if you kept the baby . if nikolas found out he was the father , carly would be lucky to even see the baby . carly : you know what , robin ? unlike you , i put john 's needs first . i wanted him surrounded by love and security , not raised by a pack of lunatics . but because you could n't keep your mouth shut , a little baby is going to be ripped out of the only home that he has ever known . but as long as you get the satisfaction of telling your almighty truth , huh ? robin : i rest my case . you made up the first lie , carly kept it going . jax : you 're wrong . the blame is mine and mine alone . elizabeth : lucky 's fought the changes in his pain medication every step of the way . he did n't want to be taken off the morphine drip . and then he was upset when they took him from morphine pills to the hydrocodone . and he 's been pushing himself so hard in physical therapy to the point where i think he mig hurt himself even worse . jason : did he take more pills for the pain ? elizabeth : yeah . jason : yeah . elizabeth : yeah , he went through that first prescription so fast , but i did n't think anything of it because i knew patrick would n't refill it until it was time . then he magically found some other pills and he said it was from an old prescription , one that he had n't finisd . what if he 's lying to me ? what if he got them from someone else ? [ knock on door ] richie : it 's officer spencer . elizabeth : oh -- lucky : we need to talk . patrick : you 're healing nicely . sam : is there anything i should be careful about doing ? patrick : at this point , nothing . you 're a fortunate woman , sam . i 'd like to take credit for your outcome , but truth is jason deserves his share . sam : what are you talking about ? patrick : no one told you ? sam : no . tell me . patrick : alexis tried to block your surgery . she got a court order forbidding anyone to operate on you . if jason had n't been willing to go around it and arrange for me to operate , you would 've died . emily : sonny was working you at lunch , lainey . he realized that i asked you over because i wanted you to evaluate him , so after i left , he turned on the charm . lainey : i 'm not an easy woman to fool . emily : no , sonny 's good at this , lainey . he does n't want to face the fact that -- that something 's wrong , but he 's still becoming more erratic . he 's having these huge mood swings , and he slipped a few times and he -- he called me lily . lainey : lily ? who 's lily ? emily : sonny 's first wife . she died right in front of him . she was killed by a car bomb that was meant for sonny , and lily was pregnant . and out of nowhere , sonny asked me if i should be drinking in my condition . lainey : as if you were pregnant . emily : yeah . he covered by saying that i 'd been acting moody lately , and he had it in the back of his mind that i might be pregnant . lainey : trying to explain his behavior to himself as well as tyou . emily : yeah . it 's also the way he sees things . his judgment is off . he got so excited about doing an intervention for jason . he wanted me and sam to confront jason with him . he thought that we could make jason see that he 's been making very bad decisions . lainey : what do you think of that idea ? emily : jason would never respond to something like that . i mean , the three of us facing him , pressuring him to do things differently ? jason would completely shut down , and sonny knows that -- or at least he should . lainey : and so under normal circumstances , sonny would never suggest that ? emily : exactly , lainey . he 's not himself , and he 's only getting worse . what should i do ? where should i go from here ? lainey : based on what you 're telling me , i think that you need to get sonny into treatment right away . ric : we need to talk . sonny : i ai n't talking about the warehouse , ric . ric : i 'm not going to ignore the fact that you went off on me . i mean , after all , you did say that you were going to kill me if i ever tried to drag u back into your old business again . sonny : then you know better than to raise that subject . ric : i do n't think it 's that simple . sonny : ok , yeah , it is . because i 'm telling you right now i want to make something very clear . i 'm not going to -- i 'm not going to , you know , take back the territory or undermine jason . ric : sonny , this goes way beyond business . it 's personal . now , you and i have a lot of issues that are left unresolved . sonny : maybe you do . ric : you 're not over what happened to our moer any more than i am . consciously or subconsciously , you 're still bothered by the fact that she led such an unhappy life . sonny : what 's the point ? ric : the point is , sonny , i think that we -- we need to deal with this right now , ok ? no matter how painful it is , i 'm just -- i 'm not leaving until we get it done . sonny : oh , you 're -- you 're upset because our mother gave you up and kept me . there 's no changing that , ric . ric : tell me how she died . sonny : you know . ric : no . i know dates and i know facts . i do n't know how it happened , you do . tell me . sonny : i do n't want to . nikolas : so am i supposed to be impressed by your -- your nobility now because you 've admitted that i 'm john 's father ? all -- all is forgiven now ? jax : no , i do n't expect forgiveness from you . but maybe in time , you 'll understand , though . nikolas : do you -- do you have any idea what this has done to me ? you kept my son away , away from me for the first months of his life . that time is gone , jax , i ca n't get that back . carly : jax was just trying to protect john . he had good intentions , nikolas . nikolas : so you 're telling me with a straight face that jax had good intentions when he -- when he filed a restraining order keeping me away from my own son ? is that -- is that what you 're telling me ? did -- did you even , like , wrestle with that at all ? did you have even a slight attack of conscience , because i had to grovel . i had to grovel just to be in the same room with my son . and you acted like it was some magnanimous act on -- on your part just to -- just to let me hold him . my son . alexis : all right . i think let 's all take a minut here and just try to process this , ok ? mike : look , the last thing that courtney woulwant is anger and bitterness , ok ? nikolas : oh , so -- so all is -- is forgiven ? all the lies are washed away ? alexis : not at all . nikolas : courtney would n't want me to be angry right now ? carly : you ca n't change what happened , nikolas . nikolas : all right , will you just -- just save that part of it right now , huh ? save the rationalizations , carly ? alexis : listen to me . this is a shock . what they did was wrong . you have every right to be angry -- i 'm angry . nikolas : no , i -- alexis : i just want you to take a minute , just take a deep breath , and let 's just think for a minute what 's best for john . nikolas : no , no , i claim my son tonight . carly : are you happy now ? alexis : you ca n't just -- just go over there right now -- nikolas : yes , i can . alexis : and take john -- nikolas : i will . i can and i will . alexis : you do n't have what you need in your home to take care of a baby . you do n't know what the baby eats , you do n't know when he eats , you do n't have a crib , you do n't have a diaper . nikolas : you can help me . you can help me with that -- alexis : i 'll help you , honey . i will help you . i 'll do anything that you want , anything . i just want you to take a minute and just process this . we 'll arrange for help . just -- just a day , maybe two , before you bring john home , ok ? nikolas : ok . [ alexis sighs ] nikolas : you 'll be hearing from me . jax : i 'm sure . nikolas : robin ? wait a second . patrick : i explained to jason that you would die without the surgery . he said he would take responsibility for ignoring the injunction . the surgery i performed along with elizabeth spencer was technically illegal . alexis had us all arrested . sam : arrested ? patrick : yep -- elizabeth , me , epiphany johnson , and jason . [ sam sighs ] patrick : and this was after she knew the surgery was a success , so she knew you were going to live . sam : ok . then why ? patrick : i do n't know . maybe to prove to jason that she was making decisions for you , not him . ric : you never told me about our mother 's later years . sonny : what 's the point , ric ? ric : come on , sonny , it 's got to weigh on you , does n't it ? sonny : i do n't want to get into this right now . ric : she was my mother , too . i was her son , sonny . what was it that broke our mother 's health ? were the beatings as bad as you say ? sonny : i do n't want to talk about this right -- ric : what is it , sonny ? was she too scared to speak up ? sonny : i do n't want to talk about it ! ric : what about you , sonny ? did you watch deke hit her ? [ echoes ] huh ? did you watch deke hit our mother ? did you watch -- did you watch the beatings ? sonny : what are you talking about ? ric : if it was that bad , why did n't you save her ? sonny : shut up ! i was just getting to the good part ... nikolas : thank you for telling me that john is my son . robin : i 'm just so sorry i had to wait so long to tell you . nikolas : no . no , jax is a good friend of yours . i 'm sure it was n't easy for you . robin : look , i know that you are furious with jax and you have every right to be . but i do believe that he was acting out of love and concern . clearly he was misguided -- nikolas : ah . robin : but all jax wanted was to protect john . now , carly , on the other hand , is a completely different story . how she managed to pull jax in , i will never understand . but the bottom line is carly convinced jax to keep that secret . nikolas : yeah . robin , if you 're asking me to attempt to understand jax 's motives , it 's going to be difficult . robin : i know it 's going to take a while . nikolas : `` a while `` ? if ever . robin : well , you do n't mind if i continue and try and smooth the waters , do you ? nikolas : oh , no . no , not at all , go ahead . i am so grateful to you . if you had n't told the truth , i might never have had the chance to raise my own son . thank you . carly : you guys helping leticia ? michael : yeah , we got him out of his christening dress , and -- yeah , he 's strong . he wiggled a lot . um -- oh , when are we going to go to the party ? jax : there 's not going to be a party . michael : why not ? carly : i 'll explain that later . but right now , you guys need to go home with leticia . it 's time to leave , so say goodbye to little john . michael : bye , john . leticia : bye . morgan : bye . jane : i will put the baby to bed . grandson or not , i love that little boy . jax : mom ? i want to kiss him good night . jax : sleep tight , my little boy . you truly are wonderful . you 'll always be in my heart . lucky : i know you hate the idea of admitting you need help , especially from me , but we 're on the same side of this . so why do n't you just tell me what you know about this person and i 'll bring him to justice . jason : do n't know anything -- about the gun dealer or the rifle . lucky : yeah , maybe you do n't , or maybe you 're just stonewalling . either way , i 'm going to nail whoever shot sam . it 's the least i can do since you saved elizabeth from manny ruiz . hey , jason ? do n't get any ideas . do n't try to go after this guy on your own . [ door opens and closes ] jason : why 'd you hide ? ric : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to pressure you . sonny : i do n't want to talk about it ! ric : i just -- i just thought it was a way for us to heal old wounds , sonny . you know , maybe -- maybe get closer , understand each other a little better . i ca n't imagine what it was like to have a stepfather like deke , sonny . i mean , he was supsed to be e man of the house , the one you looked up to , the role model , and he was a wife - beater . god only knows how that made you feel . do you ever worry about it ? sonny : about what ? ric : [ echoes ] that you might hit a woman the way deke did our mother ? sonny : do n't ever say that . mike : anything wrong here ? ric : [ normal voice ] no . we were just -- discussing the warehouse . but -- uh -- it can wait . sonny : mm - hmm . ric : see you later . mike . i still love looking at her . elizabeth : the only way for me to explain why i was in your apartment would be to make something up , and i just did n't want to lie to lucky . jason : you were trying to help him . maybe you did . elizabeth : no , you 're the one who helped him . he 's convinced he shot the gun dealer and it 's given him a boost in his confidence . but if he ever finds out that you 're the one who rescued him again -- jason : you asked me to stay quiet and i will . elizabeth : thank you . i just want him to be receptive for when i confront him about the drugs . jason : are you -- are you sure about that ? elizabeth : yeah . i 've ignored the signs , and now i have to deal with it . but you 've been great , as always . jason : i just -- and i hope things work out . sam : what 's going on ? jax : here . jax : thank you for defending me to nikolas . carly : you ga john a safe and happy home , nikolas needs to know that . not that it 's going to make a bit of difference , you know ? jax : just give him time . carly : i 'm not going to hold my breath . jax : i do n't think nikolas is going to let me see john again . i think when he calms down and thinks about everything , you know , he 'll realize that -- that john needs you . carly : john needs you , jax . because when helena finds out that john is her great - grandson , john is going to be in serious danger . i had everyone believing that maxie lied about the paternity test . it was almost over . john was almost ours . why did you throw it away ? emily : how was the christening ? nikolas : oh . full of surprises . see , it turns out that -- that john ist jax 's son . he 's mine . mike : look , i -- uh -- i just thought maybe you should know what happened at the christening . sonny : i 'm suret was nice , mike . mike : yeah , it was , it was -- until the end . jax is n't john 's father . robin announced that nikolas is the real father , and that jax and carly have been keeping the truth from him . sonny : nikolas ? mike : yeah . and look , i 'm sure this brings up all kinds of bad memories about the times that carly lied to you , but i really -- sonny : nikolas is going to need a mother for the baby . mike : look , i do n't think he 's even started to -- to comprehend -- sonny : he 's going to want -- he 's going to want emily back , she 's going to go . i 'm going to lose emily to nikolas . stay tuned for scenes from the next `` general hospital . `` [ next_on ] emily : it 's so unbelievable . you 're going to be a wonderful father . jax : how can you stand there and ask why ? everything i did was in john 's best intest . elizabeth : jason did me a huge favor . i was just thanking him . sam : as long as you 're passing out favors , how about me ? | sonny dismisses emily 's claims that he is n't acting normally . ric questions lainey about bipolar disorder later uses the information to push sonny 's buttons . emily voices her fears to lainey , who advises her to convince sonny to get the help he needs . sonny 's mood darkens when he learns nikolas is john 's father as he believes he will lose emily to nikolas . jax takes sole responsibility for perpetuating the lie about being john 's father . nikoloas thanks robin for telling the truth . |

carly : checking out already ? todd : where have you been ? carly : i 've been busy . todd : so have i. i had to take téa and her baby back home . carly : why did n't you stay in llanview ? todd : well , i 'm allergic to balloons and confetti . carly : oh . must have been awkward . you know , everyone celebrating while you feel you 're the one responsible for this baby growing up without a father . todd : we switched these babies . téa can never know that her baby died , and samantha can never know that her baby is alive . todd : and i am responsible . jason : so , uh , still getting used to that . elizabeth : yeah . thanks . jason : yeah . elizabeth : luke did n't think a bar was the best way to honor our son . jason : yeah , probably not . elizabeth : i try not to think about it , but it sure is easier not seeing that sign on the way to work . jason : well , if it helps you , i 'm glad he did . elizabeth : it 's strange how random things affect you when you 're grieving . thinking about sam ? jason : yeah . i just -- you know , i wish there were something i could do for her , but seeing me just makes everything worse . elizabeth : sometimes there is no way to comfort . jason : sam blames me for what happened . because of what i did to john mcbain . mcbain : sam . hey . sam : hey . mcbain : they released you from the hospital already ? sam : yeah . there 's no reason to stay . it 's not like i have a baby waiting for me in the nursery or anything . hey . you okay ? you okay ? starr : you want to record my album on a boat . johnny : come on . it used to be a floating casino . starr : seriously ? johnny : look , i know it could use a facelift , but i know for a fact it 's got a state - of - the - art sound system . the former owner , luke spencer -- great taste in music . starr : `` former owner , `` as opposed to the current owner , which would be you ? johnny : well , yeah . co - owner . his daughter , lulu spencer , she 's my partner . starr : is n't this all a little sudden ? johnny : yeah . i thought i could use a fresh start . figured you could definitely use the same . starr : i might be ready for it , now that i know who really caused the deaths of cole and hope . michael : i get it now . sonny : what 's that ? michael : why you made that deal with todd manning . he knew that kate shot out anthony 's tires , that she 's the one who killed star 's family . sonny : okay , the woman who did those things was not kate . and kate needs me now more than ever . kate : these past few weeks , i 've barely had time to think . the thought never even crossed my mind . oh , my god . oh , god , what if i 'm pregnant ? ewen : if you are , we can deal with it . okay , there 's no sense in panicking . kate : i do n't even know who the father is -- johnny or sonny . and who 's the mother -- connie or me ? if i 'm pregnant , then who knows when the baby was conceived ? connie had sex with johnny . i had sex with sonny . and ... ewen : and what ? kate : we always used protection , sonny and i. connie -- ewen : what did she do ? this is a positive step , okay , if you can remember . kate : i do n't remember having sex with johnny ! i only remember waking up in his bedroom afterward in his shirt . connie is so bent on revenge , she -- she -- why would she practice safe sex ? ewen : do n't torture yourself by jumping to the worst -- kate : no , because she only exists to protect me from immediate danger ! she does n't care about the consequences . she does n't have to face them . i do . oh , my god ! what if i 'm having johnny 's child ? johnny : you found out who killed your daughter and boyfriend ? starr : i ca n't tell you who it was , but i can tell you that it did n't happen the way i thought . they never meant to hurt anyone . johnny : you sure about that ? starr : yeah . it was n't sonny . he had nothing to do with it . johnny : wow . i 'm sorry for trying to convince you that ... he was the one that was responsible . starr : you did n't ask me to steal your gun or to try to shoot sonny . i did that all on my own . and i apologized to michael because now i know that his dad had nothing to do with it , and i told him that you did n't either . you know , i stood face to face with the person who took everything from me , and i wanted to hate them so badly , but i ... i could n't . not the way i did when i thought it was sonny . johnny : so , that 's it ? it 's over for you ? starr : well , i think it would be different if i thought that they died because of some mobster 's vendetta . johnny : different how ? starr : i could never be in the same room as that person and not want them to suffer . carly : you helped deliver téa 's baby in the middle of a rainstorm . you got her and her kid to the hospital . that baby would have died without you . i mean , you have no idea what kind of loss that is . todd : and you do ? carly : [ sighs ] my best friend 's wife , sam morgan , she just lost her baby . todd : how 's she doing ? carly : i did n't think you knew her . todd : well , you seem affected by it , so ... carly : well , it 's awful . i mean , this is n't the first baby sam 's lost , and she 's devastated . and jason 's devastated . i mean , he was n't the father , but he would have raised the baby with sam , and they would have worked things out , and they would have been happy . elizabeth : wait , you 're responsible for whatever you did to mcbain , but you 're not responsible for the death of that baby . jason : if mcbain got the baby to the hospital , he 'd still be alive , elizabeth . elizabeth : i know that 's what sam thinks , but the baby died from respiratory failure . jason : at least the baby would be in the hospital , could get help , put it on a ventilator , you know , do something . elizabeth : there was no guarantee that he would have survived , and if you ca n't take my word for it , then you need to talk -- jason : we 're never gon na know , because i sent those guys after mcbain . i wanted to get him out of the picture , because i thought that 's gon na solve my problems . elizabeth : when you love someone and you see them slipping away , sometimes you just do n't think straight . i 'm not placing blame , but there was a time when sam was so desperate to hang on to you , she watched our son be kidnapped . she watched us frantically searching for him and said nothing . jason : she 'll always regret that . elizabeth : and you will always regret this . mcbain : why do n't you grab a seat over there ? sam : no , i 'm fine . mcbain : you 're not fine . and neither am i . look at me . i 'm holding a purse , all right ? look at -- you 're lucky i do n't run you right back to that hospital . sam : they would just turn you around . nothing 's physically wrong with me , anyway . i mean , i 'm almost fully recovered . what about you ? mcbain : hmm ? sam : hmm ? how are those cracked ribs ? i know what happened , john . i know why you did n't come back for me and my baby after you went to get the car . mcbain : yeah , that will teach me not to skip out on a bill next time . sam : do n't . it was jason 's fault . mcbain : i do n't -- i do n't think it matters whose fault it was . sam : well , it does to me . jason had those guys beat you up , and i will never forgive him for that . elizabeth : for what it 's worth , i told you were really sorry about everything . jason : and how 'd that go over ? elizabeth : like you 'd expect . she 's not in the right frame of mind to hear anyone defend you . she even told me that ... jason : what ? what did she tell you ? elizabeth : later . i 'll tell you later . jason : no , i 'd like know . what did she say ? elizabeth : she told me that the two of you were over ... and that now you 're all mine . mcbain : there 's no way he could have known what was gon na happen . sam : you are not defending him right now . mcbain : no . no , but , you know ... i have this way of provoking people , you know , and the way he reacted was ... not a total surprise . i mean , the timing caught me off guard . sam : oh , yeah . me too . i mean , if jason were really willing to support me , to open his heart to me and my child , he would -- he would have been there , and i would have been at home when i went into labor . but when he finally decided it was okay , that he could raise franco 's baby , it was too late . i mean , for all of us , especially my baby . carly : why 'd you come back to port charles ? todd : i would think that you would want to encourage a repeat customer . carly : you came here to help star , and now she 's out of jail and all the charges have been dropped , so why are you here ? todd : there 's a grand total of one person that can stand me in llanview . he 's this big . and he thinks i 'm spider - man . my own sister , viki , she ca n't stand me right now . she might come around . but ... and blair -- she would forgive everything that i 've ever done if i were the last man on earth , but right now she is punishing me by saying she 's in love with my ex - wife 's brother , who has a funny name . carly : oh , so there 's no chance that she could actually really like this guy . todd : oh , no way . but for the moment , blair 's like everybody else in llanview and hates me . carly : well , i can see why you need a change of scenery . todd : and starr . after everything she 's lost , i feel like i want to be close . carly : what does starr think about that ? you know , what does she think about her daddy looking over her shoulder ? todd : oh , she 's probably gon na tell me to get lost and go on and on about how she has to make it on her own . carly : you 're not gon na respect her wishes at all , huh ? todd : she 's a chick . she may say she 's tough , but deep down , she 's -- she 's vulnerable . starr : okay , this place is n't so bad . johnny : see ? you 're starting to see the possibilities . starr : anything to get started on my album . i need something new to focus on , other than thinking about a way to earn rent . johnny : wait . i thought you were an heiress or something . starr : i do n't want to live off a trust fund . i want to pay my own way . johnny : hey , i respect that . you know , for a while , i refused to take anything from my family , too , but eventually i caved . but , hey , if you think you can go it alone , good on you . starr : ask me that when i find an actual paying job . johnny : i 'll tell you what . why do n't you record here by day and work here at night ? starr : oh , i do n't think i 'm ready for that . but if you 're looking for a waitress ... johnny : okay . why do n't we wait until the renovation is finished , then we can find a job that properly suits your skill set . starr : how did i get so lucky ? ever since i 've come to port charles , you 've been the answer to all of my problems . johnny : [ chuckles ] why do n't we , uh , test out the acoustics , huh ? starr : right now ? johnny : yeah . consider it an audition . sonny : how 'd you know i was protecting kate ? michael : starr told me . sonny : [ chuckles ] that son of a bitch manning . i mean , the deal was that his daughter would go free if he kept his mouth shut about kate . michael : as far as i know , starr 's dad only told her . sonny : well , he was n't supposed to tell anybody . michael : yeah , he just wanted her to know the truth about how her boyfriend and little girl died , you know . you know , maybe finally it 'll bring her some peace . sonny : you want that for her ? michael : yeah . yeah , she 's been hurt enough . sonny : well , you were pretty angry when you saw her pointing a gun at me . you said you wanted her to pay for everything that she did and -- michael : starr regrets everything that she did . she said she owes us both a big apology . sonny : i do n't make it a habit of , you know ... forgiving people who try to kill me , but i did see the kind of pain in her eyes . michael : starr was out of her mind with grief . she did something she would n't do under normal circumstances . and when i talked to her today , i realized that ... i can forgive her . sonny : that 's the same way i feel about kate . she had no control over what was going on with her . michael : how is she ? sonny : she 's getting the help she needs . with any luck , the worst part is over . kate : after everything i 've done , everything i 've done to sonny , he stood by me . he 's forgiven me . do you know what a miracle that is ? ewen : i think we all possess a deep reservoir of compassion . kate : no . not after this . if i have johnny 's child , he will never be able to get past that . ewen : let 's just slow down a minute , okay ? we do n't even know if you 're pregnant . kate : i know my body . ewen : and it 's had to weather an enormous amount of trauma over these past few months . kate : so is that what you think this is , is stress ? ewen : there are any number of potential causes , from stress to the medication . kate : or i could be carrying johnny zacchara 's child ! ewen : there 's only one way to know for sure . a pregnancy test . elizabeth : sam was n't thinking . it was just something she said in the heat of the moment . jason : she threw our friendship in my face when i confronted her about mcbain . and i know that she was n't happy when i asked you to bail me out of jail . she did n't say anything , but i could tell that she was hurt . elizabeth : well , she was pregnant with franco 's baby , and you were being questioned about his murder . i mean , did n't you explain to her that you were trying to spare her ? jason : it does n't matter . i did what i did . i got to live with it . i really wish you would see that none of this is your -- jason : you know what ? i do n't want to talk about this anymore , okay ? sam : john , i never got a chance to thank you . i mean , for everything you did . you delivered my baby in a motel . mcbain : yeah , they did n't mention anything about that at the front desk . sam : i ca n't stop thinking about him . how -- how it felt to hold him . i mean , i looked down at him . he was so beautiful . he was so perfect . [ sighs ] now he 's gone . i just ... i came back to get my stuff . i have to leave . mcbain : what ? where you gon na go ? sam : my mom 's . i know it 's a little chaotic there , but i think it 'd be good for me to be around family . mcbain : yeah , given everything that 's happened , maybe that 's the best place to be . huh . well ... i guess this is goodbye . sam : [ laughs ] you do n't have to be so dramatic . i 'm leaving a motel , not port charles . mcbain : i know . but i am . johnny : is that an original composition ? starr : yeah . i wrote it awhile ago , but i never sang it in front of anyone . johnny : do n't tell me you 're getting stage fright . starr : nope . i 'm going to sing this for cole and hope . hang your coat up by the light it 's cold as loneliness outside and it 's too hard to find the words tonight to say goodbye michael : i owe johnny an apology . sonny : what ? you owe him nothing . michael : well , he was telling the truth . i mean , he did n't try to kill anthony or frame you . sonny : michael , all johnny 's trying to do is bring me down . look what he did to kate . he 's taken advantage of her mental illness . you know what that is ? that 's a coward . that 's a user . michael : yeah . he was wrong . no question . i 'm just saying that he was n't guilty of what i was accusing him of . sonny : oh , okay . so he had one good day . michael : look , i 'm just saying that sometimes people can surprise you , you know . turns out mom was right to believe in him . actually , i should probably tell her that he 's innocent . sonny : you know what ? i 'm sure she already knows . i would not be surprised if they 're already back together . todd : starr is my daughter . and every time i look at her , she 's still ... i just -- i feel like i have to protect her . carly : there 's a fine line between protecting and controlling , and you will cross it , and starr will resent you . todd : i have a good reason to be worried . the only reason she 's staying in town is to make an album with your ex . johnny zacchara does not have the best reputation . he still is your ex , right ? carly : i need to check on the chocolates -- todd : oh , no ! you took him back ? carly : okay , you 're the one that stood right here in the hotel lobby and told me that some people get caught up in the moment and they hurt the people they care about . todd : yeah , i was talking about me -- me and blair , not you and that loser . carly : johnny 's sorry , and he 's been doing everything he can to make up for it . todd : really ? how ? flowers ? more flowers ? jewelry ? did he pony up for a diamond ? carly : no , he gave me something more valuable . todd : what , a helicopter ? carly : cards on the table . he swore there 'd be no more secrets . todd : and you fell for that ? listen , every single time that i 've told a woman that there were no more secrets , it 's because i had a secret . carly : okay ! you know what ? i believe johnny , so i 'm not gon na waste my time second - guessing him . and you know what ? you should n't either . todd : all right . it 's your heart . but that does n't mean that i 'm gon na let him work an angle on my daughter . carly : johnny 's not gon na take advantage of starr . todd : oh , right . you 're such a great judge of his character , that i should take your word for it . carly : you should take my word as a parent . johnny went out of his way to keep michael out of the business . todd : `` the business . `` is that what they call the mob these days ? carly : this recording contract is legit . johnny 's never gon na put starr in a position where she can get hurt . starr : hanging on to time hoping for another day but i wo n't smile again without you where is yesterday ? where are all those plans we made ? why 'd you have to go so far away ? ewen : kate , is everything all right ? [ door opens ] kate : it 's ready . ewen : what does it say ? . ewen : kate , is it positive or negative ? kate : it 's a plus sign . [ sobs ] it 's -- it 's true . i 'm -- i 'm pregnant with johnny zacchara 's baby . johnny : yeah ! that is incredible . starr : stop ! you do not have to do that . johnny : this is nothing . wait until you got this entire place on their feet . starr : okay , i 'm not sure i 'm ready to perform live . johnny : okay , well , hey , first things first . we 'll record an album , right ? so come over here tomorrow and we 'll talk backup arrangements . starr : tomorrow ? johnny : yeah . i 'm not keeping you a secret any longer than i have to . starr : oh , gosh . this is all happening . i ca n't thank you enough . johnny : oh , forget it . starr : no , really . it means so much to me . you have no idea . johnny : well , you know ... i guess i should be the one that 's thanking you for giving me a chance to redeem myself . starr : redeem yourself for what ? johnny : let 's just say i 've done some things i 'm not proud of . starr : my last producer made a porn . i 'm sure you ca n't get worse than that . todd : you think johnny 's gon na make you happy , go for it . i mean , i think you can do better , but it 's your life . carly : that 's refreshing . todd : starr 's life , on the other hand ... carly : so you 're gon na stick around and meddle . todd : are you kidding ? i 'm her father . it 's my god - given right to meddle . carly : far be it from me to take away your god - given right , but i 'm just saying , you do n't have anything to worry about . todd : johnny zacchara is a less - than - reliable human being and comes from a seriously demented family . and if you knew anything about my family , you 'd know i would never say anything like that lightly . carly : i 'm not saying johnny 's perfect , okay ? i mean , his father -- not his father , but the man who raised him -- he 's missing . and when johnny knew that my uncle was under suspicion -- todd : luke spencer 's your uncle . carly : yes . that 's not the point . the point is that luke was arrested for killing johnny 's grandfather . and johnny told me . todd : that makes johnny a tattletale . carly : he 's not a tattletale ! he came to me , and he told me the truth ! cards on the table . that 's all i 'm saying . have a nice day . todd : [ laughing ] okay . `` new commissioner releases roomie . `` that 's the best this paper 's got ? carly : you think you can do any better ? todd : are you joking ? off the top of my head , without even reading the article ... um ... `` the divine miss devane . `` `` devane intervention . `` [ cell phone rings ] carly : this is carly . johnny : hey . it 's me . you busy ? todd : `` to err is spencer . to forgive -- devane . `` mcbain : you know i came to port charles for a reason . sam : to get something on sonny . it 's personal . about a woman . mcbain : my sister . sam : wow . that i - i did not know . hey ... why do n't you tell me about it ? mcbain : my dad was a cop . he was a good man , made some mistakes . he was killed in the line of duty . at the hospital , he told me he 'd been unfaithful to my mother ... and he had a daughter . he had n't seen her in a long time . and he made me promise to go find her and make sure she was all right . it was the last thing he said to me . sam : okay . i mean , of course you had to keep your promise . mcbain : when i finally tracked her down , her life had n't turned out the way my dad had hoped . she 'd fallen in with the wrong crowd , you know . she was hanging out with these people , you know , these guys that sort of think of themselves as glamorous , but really they 're just thugs in fancy suits . sam : talking about organized crime . mcbain : there was one guy in particular . his name was sonny corinthos . before i could get theresa away from the life ... sonny got her killed . sam : john , i 'm so sorry . mcbain : we went our separate ways . he did his thing . i did my thing . but i never forgot . and i told myself some day i was gon na make him pay for what he did . michael : look , star knows that kate did n't mean to cause that accident . she 's just ... sick . sonny : the psychiatrist says that the alter personality is a way for kate to protect herself , to deal with a trauma . i think i caused it . kate : [ sobs ] how can i be pregnant ?

[ sighs ] i do n't want to be that guy anymore . carly : hey ... you 're not that guy . johnny : well , i may not be able to have made things better for starr , but i can certainly try and help her . carly : that 's exactly what i told her father . and when todd sees how sincere you are , you have nothing to worry about . johnny : [ chuckles ] todd : call this news ? starr : dad ? todd : hey . starr : hey . todd : i was worried about you . starr : why ? todd : why ? you 've got an awful lot to process . starr : because i found out that kate howard was responsible for the accident ?

sonny : kate got shot at our wedding . i almost got her killed . connie , i guess , emerged in a way to protect her from me . michael : is that what the psychiatrist told you ? sonny : doctors say that in most cases of d.i.d . , the alter comes from a childhood trauma . but we -- we grew up together . if something happened , i would have known . michael : but you and kate broke up , right ? sonny : well , we did n't break -- she cut me out completely . we were supposed to run away together . she never showed up . she never contacted me . she went her way . i went mine . now that i 'm thinking about it ... that was the last time that i saw the connie i knew . michael : when ? sonny : connie falconeri was 17 when she left me standing on that corner in brooklyn . next time i saw her , she was kate howard . kate : oh , god ! ewen : kate , i promise you , you 're not pregnant . kate : no . i prayed . i prayed every night to god . i prayed that he would n't let this happen . but he did . ewen : listen to me . whatever you 're seeing , it 's not real . kate : [ crying ] how can i have a baby , doctor ?

jason : yeah . i 'll be okay . elizabeth : okay . and we all fall down and we broke our crown jason : [ sighs ] and where is redemption now ? johnny : so , i got a call out to the contractors . i 'm gon na even hire an extra crew if that means this place gets open in time . carly : wow . you 're gon na make this place something special . johnny : yeah , well , it 's easy when i got the inspiration . i want to be the man that you deserve , carly . and , uh ... and i think the haunted star is the perfect start . carly : then we can put the past behind us . johnny : yeah . starr : so , do you feel better ?

[ scene_break ] sam : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? you ca n't pry into my son 's medical records without my permission . silas : i 'm not prying . i 'm following up , since a lot of people seem to have trouble comprehending danny 's symptoms . sam : i already had an appointment with his pediatrician . silas : the one who thought danny had a cold ? did you have his bone marrow biopsied ? sam : yeah , i did . and not because of your recommendation . silas : nuanced . did it confirm my suspicions ? sam : i 'll find out today . silas : then you need to prepare yourself , sam , because the results are only gon na give you one answer , and it 's not the one you want . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm not surprised that someone went after you . it 's just so disconcerting that no one else has considering the level of damage that you 've inflicted . franco : you 're hot . you look great up there on your high horse . i would love to photograph you with a low angle -- super moody , clothing optional . alexis : go away ... before i kill you myself . franco : well , i hope you have better aim than last night 's would - be assassin . alexis : what is that supposed to mean ? franco : could n't hit the broadside of a barn . olivia falconeri , on the other hand ... [ scene_break ] lulu : connie is out hounding the doctors for details on olivia 's prognosis . have you spoken to them yet ? dante : not since the surgery . uh , nurse said the doctor would be making the rounds soon . [ sighs ] he said the first 24 hours were critical . we 're in -- we 're 12 hours in . lulu : you know , one of the , uh -- one of the first things that i realized about your mother was that she is tough . she 's resilient . anyone who could survive heather webber and your adolescence can handle a little gunshot wound . dante : i was a pretty well - behaved teenager ... comparatively . i never -- i never got arrested . came close one -- one particular time . lulu : close ? really ? how close ? dante : does n't matter . it was n't my fault . lulu : oh , i think every perp says that . dante : [ chuckles ] i just -- i just i ca n't believe this is happening . lulu : have you talked to anna ? dante : not since she took sonny into custody last night . [ scene_break ] anna : you know , other than heather webber , i ca n't imagine anyone wanting olivia dead . franco , on the other hand -- they 'd be lining up to buy tickets for his funeral . you brought a -- brought a gun on him , did n't you , the other day , on the haunted star ? yeah . and then you come here to the pcpd wanting to confront him . look , i warned you against it , but you would n't listen . now the mother of your son has paid the price . so , the csu -- they determined that the shot was fired from a hotel room overlooking the terrace restaurant , and since you were present when the shots were fired , you obviously did n't pull the trigger . i 'm just wondering -- maybe one of your men did . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't like your tone . shawn : oh , you 're not going anywhere . carly : you want me to call security ? shawn : go ahead . call the cops , too . i 'm sure they 'd love to hear my story . carly : what story 's that ? shawn : look , drop the act . you 're not gon na play me again . carly : i do n't know what you mean . shawn : look , did you or did you not tell me sonny signed off on taking franco out ? carly : yes . we discussed it . remember ? you were there . shawn : was it or was it not a lie , carly ? carly : sonny came up with the whole idea , okay ? he paid off the da , so franco could be out on the street . you were there . he brought you in on this . shawn : and he called it off . carly : so sonny and i had a difference of opinion on timing . shawn : sonny called it off , carly ! you put it back on ! carly : franco needed to die . shawn : what the hell are you thinking ? ! carly : i was thinking about protecting my family . and sonny would n't do it , so i did it . shawn : by dragging me into it and going against sonny 's wishes ? carly : it had to be done , and i knew you would n't act without sonny 's say - so . shawn : so you lied . you manipulated me ! carly : i did n't know what else to do . shawn : [ chuckles ] you could stay the hell out of it like he asked . carly : that man threatened my kids twice . i was n't gon na stay the hell out of it . it 's too late now . shawn : yeah . maybe for you , too , if you 're not careful . you know , my advice to you -- you might want to take a long trip before sonny finds you . carly : sonny knows . shawn : oh , yeah . he knows . he knows what happened and how bad it went . you know , i 'm surprised he has n't come here yet to kill you . [ scene_break ] anna : the job of executing franco would have normally fallen to jason ... if your business had n't already claimed his life . so i wonder -- who was it ? who stepped up to take over and go after franco ? oh , come on . just make this easy on us , could n't you -- on dante , on olivia , on everybody ? sonny : it was n't me ! [ scene_break ] sam : you do n't know what the test results are gon na say . silas : after they confirm that danny has acute lymphocytic leukemia , he 'll need induction therapy -- chemotherapy -- to eradicate the cancer cells . now , the best way to administer this treatment to a child danny 's age is a spinal tap . it delivers a payload of drugs directly into the cerebrospinal fluid , stopping the cancer from spreading into the central nervous system . sam : why are you telling me this ? silas : your little boy is sick , sam . his survival may depend on it . now , on top of chemotherapy , they may need to consider radiation , even if it affects the cognitive -- sam : are you deliberately trying to be cruel , or were you just born without any empathy ? silas : if that 's a shot at my so - called bedside manner , you 're missing the point . sam : yeah , so - called bedside manner . silas : if i 'm curt , it 's because time is no longer on our side . would you rather have me hold your hand and whisper silly things , or do you want me to prepare you for what you are about to face and tell you the truth ? sam : i will choose door number three -- shut the hell up and leave me and my son alone . [ scene_break ] patrick : oh . kicking it old - school with the glasses , huh ? sabrina : yeah . forgot to bring my lens case last night , so i put my contacts in a cup of water . i accidentally spilled it down the sink . patrick : guess it 's better than drinking it . sabrina : yeah , well , i 'm gon na have to tell felix that . you know , i love him , but sometimes ... he can be a little controlling . i ca n't even put my hair up without him confiscating all of my clips . patrick : oh , forget felix . i think the glasses are sexy . sabrina : really ? in what universe ? patrick : in this universe . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : if i did n't , would i be doing this ? hmm ? i should n't have started doing that . 'cause i 'm not gon na want to stop , and i 'm already late . sabrina : [ chuckles ] you know what ? you go ahead . go . i 'll pick emma up . patrick : it 's already done . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : i called duke when you were in the shower . sabrina : oh ? did she have a good time with anna and duke last night ? patrick : yeah . she said she had a great time ... until the shooting started . [ scene_break ] alexis : olivia falconeri was shot ? franco : well , one minute , she 's standing there . the next minute , she 's on the floor . alexis : and you were there . franco : of course . carly and i had just arrived , just looked at our menus . alexis : carly agreed to have dinner with you ? franco : [ chuckles ] are you kidding ? it was her idea . and how could i say `` no `` and give up the opportunity to piss off so many people , including sonny who showed up table side , threatening to drag carly away by her hair ? and then olivia rushes out all aggravated about something , and then -- she 's on the ground . alexis : sounds like the shot was meant for sonny . franco : no . given the angle of the shot and where i was seated , i 'm pretty sure the shot was meant for me , and let 's face facts . who would want to kill olivia ? i mean , her accent is cloying , but motive for murder ? alexis : did the police make an arrest ? franco : yeah . oh , you have n't heard . yeah , your number - one client -- sonny corinthos . [ scene_break ] anna : calm down . sonny : you want me to calm down ? then do n't lock me up all night and come here and suggest that i had something to do with the mother of my son getting shot . i know what you 're doing . i 've been around the block . you 're trying to make me feel responsible for something i did n't do . anna : well , if you did n't do it , why do n't you help me figure out who did it ? sonny : that 's your job , not mine . now , my job is to go to the hospital and be with olivia and dante . they need me . anna : i sympathize . really , i do . but when i look at my list of suspects , you 're the one with the most reason . and you assumed , somewhat naively , i think , that whoever you put in his position would be able to perform at the same level , but they did n't . sonny : i did n't send anyone . anna : and i know that this outcome is not what you intended , but olivia would never have been shot if you had n't been trying to kill franco in the first place . sonny : i 'm not gon na cop to something i did n't do ! anna : all right ! sonny : so , either you charge me or you let me go to the hospital to be with olivia . [ scene_break ] lulu : do you really think that your father could have had something to do with this ? dante : okay , look , the bullet trajectory from the hotel room where we found the shell casing is a -- it 's a straight shot to where franco was sitting . lulu : sonny had plenty of motive . dante : yeah . and apparently , he wanted to kill franco at the haunted star the other night . and you know what ? part of me really wishes he did , because then someone would n't take a shot at franco at the metro court and my mother would n't have walked into the line of fire . lulu : you know , sonny was n't the only one . there are a lot of people that hate franco . dante : yeah , but do they hate him enough to take a shot at this guy on a public terrace ? [ scene_break ] carly : you misunderstood sonny . he 's gon na understand that i had to do what i had -- shawn : the only thing we understand is olivia may die . carly : [ voice breaking ] i am so sorry that olivia got hurt . shawn : well , you know what ? sorry wo n't -- wo n't put olivia back together again . it wo n't unshoot the bullet . it wo n't appease me , sonny , or alexis . carly : [ normal voice ] what the hell does alexis have to do with any of this ? shawn : look , i had to lie to alexis to cover for last night . oh , she knew i was n't being honest , so sooner or later , alexis is gon na figure it out , and then what ? huh ? you know what ? maybe it wo n't matter . maybe sonny will have me killed first . carly : sonny 's not gon na kill you or anyone . shawn : yeah , you just keep telling yourself that . i pulled the trigger and you put it in motion . you know , if olivia does n't pull through , maybe we wo n't , either . [ scene_break ] anna : i understand why you 're upset . an innocent woman has been shot -- a member of your own family . and i am sorry for the turmoil that this is putting you and your loved ones through . sonny : could have fooled me . anna : yeah , well , i 'm a police officer , not a social worker . and i 'm looking for the person who shot olivia . sonny : well , you 're gon na have to look somewhere else , because you 're wasting my time , you 're wasting your time , and that just -- i do n't know what else to tell you at this point . anna : why we were on the terrace last night ? sonny : do you really want to do this ? 'cause where 's my lawyer ? anna : you know , we tried to call alexis , but i guess we have the old number or something . sonny : you want to keep violating my rights ? is that what you want to do ? you just -- come on . just let me go , will you ? anna : all right . you can go . something went very wrong last night , and you can keep stonewalling me , but i will get olivia 's shooter no matter who it is . sonny : i hope you do .

[ sighs ] britt : you 're sorry ? nikolas : yes , i heard about what happened to patrick and sabrina 's baby . i know you delivered him after the accident . losing him must have been devastating . britt : i do n't think i 've done anything as hard as telling patrick and sabrina they were going to lose their son . i mean , especially since i already cost him one child . nikolas : look , britt , regardless of what happened between us , you 're an excellent physician , and i know you did everything you could to save that child , okay ? i can only imagine how much his death must have hurt . britt : that really means a lot that you would say that , considering how you feel about me . nikolas : it 's the truth . i 'm really sorry you had to go through that . britt : but it does n't change the fact that you hate me . nikolas : i do n't hate you , britt . dr. obrecht : how dare you ? such insolence . as a struggling single mother , how can you be so cavalier about your paycheck ? not to mention your responsibilities to this hospital . you may not care about your patients , but i do . elizabeth : i care about my patients . i just happen to have a personal life . dr. obrecht : these protocols were put in place to assure that we are always fully staffed . our patients put their trust in us , and while we were lucky this time , it 's entirely possible that , thanks to your carelessness , a patient 's treatment could have been compromised . someone could have died . elizabeth : someone did die . duke : as much as i 'd like to come and work for you , sonny , it 's -- it 's not what anna wants , and she matters more to me . sonny : i was never able to do that -- you know , put the woman i love first . couple times , came close , but this is what i chose . there 's no leaving it . duke : and the price you paid ? sonny : getting higher every day , you know ? duke : look , i may not work for you , but there 's no reason why you ca n't confide in me . anything you tell me goes no further . you have my word . i 'm already keeping some secrets . i can keep a few more . sonny : a.j . quartermaine did n't kill connie . ava jerome did . i shot the wrong man . dr. obrecht : who died ? what are you talking about ? elizabeth : someone very close to me was just shot and killed at the police station , so if you want to talk about life and death , i 've just lived through it . and maybe i was n't here at the hospital , but i was taking care of someone -- a young girl who will never see her father again . so excuse me if i 'm not in the mood for one of your self - righteous lectures . dr. obrecht : i advise you to change your tone before you do even more damage to your status . elizabeth : then write me up . put a second strike in my file . i do n't care . you know what ? why do n't you just save us both the hassle and fire me right now ? dr. obrecht : fine . you 're fired . felix : i 'm fine . lucas : you just watched your best friend lose her child . how can you be fine with that ? it 's okay . even super nurses get to fall apart . felix : no , we do n't . lucas : well , you -- you 've pretty much seen me at my worst , right ? i mean , you took care of me when i got shot . you changed my dressing . felix : at this point , i think i 've seen more of you than you have . lucas : [ chuckles ] yeah . well , then there 's nothing left to hide , right ? i mean , i 'm past embarrassment at this point , so whatever it is that you 're holding back , please do n't do it for my sake . felix : i 'm not trying to make this my tragedy . it 's not mine . it 's sabrina 's and patrick 's . all the time they do n't get to spend , all the moments they 'll never get to share -- the crawling , the walking , the first steps . [ voice breaking ] why do n't they get that ? why does n't he ? that beautiful little boy . why did this have to happen ? [ sobbing ] nathan : i 'll have the rib combo platter with all the sides and extra mac and cheese . waiter : somebody 's hungry . and for you ? maxie : i 'm fine . thanks . waiter : okay . nathan : i admire your self - control . to getting past our bad days . maxie : that i will drink to . britt : you do n't hate me ? nikolas : no . i 'm angry with you . we do n't have to go through the list . you know why . but , no , i do n't hate you . britt : well , that 's something , then . nikolas : what do you mean ? britt : oh , i do n't want to make assumptions , but knowing that you do n't hate me , it means maybe there 's somewhere to go -- somewhere for us to start . nikolas : [ sighs ] britt : or am i wrong about that ? tv : ... identified the victim in the shooting today at the pcpd . alleged racketeer and murderer ric lansing was shot to death in a holding cell after a scuffle with a detective . britt : oh , my god . nikolas : elizabeth . i have to find her . again , we 've confirmed that ric lansing was shot and killed by detective nathan west , who 's been placed on administrative leave . maxie : that was your bad day ? you killed ric lansing ? ric : so , what happens now ? anna : well , you go into witness protection . ric : how long ? anna : as long as it takes for us to find julian 's boss and bring him to -- or her -- to justice . ric : but i get my life back , right ? anna : yes , you will . however , until that day , no one else can know you 're alive . ric : you 're expecting molly and elizabeth to grieve for me even though i am not dead ? do you have any idea how much pain you are asking me to put them through ? anna : i do . i understand your desire to be truthful with molly and elizabeth , but we have to maintain absolute secrecy . no one else can know you 're alive . [ knock on door ] sonny : a.j . recorded the whole conversation on his phone . carly tracked it down , played it for me . duke : and ava ? sonny : well , i was gon na kill her , but a little complication . she 's -- she 's pregnant with my child or morgan 's . duke : ah , i never realized you and ava were ... sonny : no , no , no . it happened just once , but i regret it . but the worst part was morgan walked in afterwards . duke : that must have been difficult . sonny : and now he thinks that ava and i have feelings for each other , which is ridiculous . she 's -- she 's living here right now . duke : here ? sonny : yeah , she 's upstairs right now . a guard 's at the door 'cause she knows she 's gon na end up dead , so she 's gon na run any chance she gets . she 's gon na be living here till the baby 's born . duke : have you explained that to morgan ? sonny : more than anything , i would love to tell morgan that ava killed connie ... but i ca n't . alexis : anna , it 's alexis . your desk sergeant said that you were here . i 'm here with molly , and , uh , she wants to see her father . anna : do n't move a muscle . alexis , hi . hi , molly . um , can i just speak to you privately , please ? uh ... alexis : what 's going on ? anna : while i sympathize with molly 's request , i do n't think it 's a good idea for her to see her father . alexis : i 'm not sure that i think it 's a good idea , either , although i really do n't know what else to do right now because , uh , she heard the shots . she 's in shock , and there 's a part of her that does n't believe that her father is dead , so i think maybe she does , in fact , need a moment with him . anna : i understand . it 's just i do n't think it will help if she sees him . there was a struggle , you see , and the angle of the entry -- let 's -- let 's just say that the wounds are such that viewing the body -- it 's just not a good idea . alexis : oh , my god . anna : okay . [ gasps ] dr. obrecht : you look surprised , frauelein . why is that ? did you expect your little speech would change my mind ? that you would make me feel for you , sympathize with the oh - so - sad nurse webber ? nein ! the only people i feel sad for are you patients who you have clearly shown to be your last priority . so , if you want me to fire you , i am all too happy to oblige . why are you still standing here ? go get your things and get out . nikolas : what 's going on here ? elizabeth : she just fired me . nikolas : that 's ridiculous . you ca n't fire her . i 'm on the board . dr. obrecht : then you should take another look at my contract . it spells out my rights and responsibilities quite clearly . nikolas : do n't worry . i 'll speak to the board . even if she does have a right to fire you , i 'll get you reinstated , okay ? elizabeth : i do n't care about my job . ric 's dead . maxie : why did n't you say anything to me ? nathan : i told you -- i ca n't get into the details of the shooting . maxie : that 's stupid . nathan : agreed , but ... maxie : how are you supposed to cope with what happened if you ca n't talk about it ? nathan : look , talking about it is n't gon na change anything . it is what it is . maxie : you have to be able to express how you 're feeling . you can not just keep it bottled up inside . i should know from the last year that i had . i mean , i could n't tell anybody about that baby . and after a while , the guilt just ate me alive . not that you should feel guilty over anything . you were just doing your job , but you need to talk to someone . nathan : look , i wish it had never happened . i do n't know what else to say . maxie : it 's not like you had a choice . i mean , he -- he went for your gun . nathan : i just feel bad about his daughter . maxie : oh , molly . oh , my god . nathan : she was there . maxie : she saw what happened ? nathan : yeah , she was in the station . she was with -- with elizabeth webber , lansing 's girlfriend -- or was . maxie : did they see the body ? nathan : yeah . the paramedics wheeled him through . i mean , he was in a body bag , but ... [ sighs ] maxie : and they just kind of went off on you , did n't they ? of course they did . they just lost somebody that they love , and when that happens , i mean , you ca n't believe it . you want someone to tell you it 's not true , and you look for someone to blame . of course that would be you , the guy with the gun . nathan : look , i would give anything not to be involved in this . maxie : i know that you 're a good person , and i know you did not want to take someone 's life , but , it 's not your fault . ric was messed up with the wrong people . he tried to kill lucas . he obviously would have killed you if you had n't shot him first . you were just doing your job , trying to protect people . and elizabeth and molly are going through a lot of pain right now , but you ca n't blame yourself for that because they 're not hurting because of you . you do know this is not your fault , right ? nathan : can i tell you something ? maxie : of course . you can tell me anything . brad : what 's this ? a new hug therapy ? felix comes in and rubs your pain away ? lucas : brad , ease up . brad : no . no , no , no . i - i wo n't ease up . all right , maybe you do n't know this 'cause you 've been locked up tighter than fort knox by your mother the warden , but i 've been trying to get in to see you , and the second i turn my back , this one manages to sneak his way in . lucas : brad , this has nothing to do with me , all right ? this is about felix . he 's watching his best friend , sabrina , go through a really hard time . brad : wait . wait , wait , wait . the baby ? [ sighs ] oh , my god , felix . i 'm so sorry . felix : it 's okay . i just need to clock out and get home to sabrina . thank you , lucas . lucas : anytime , felix . you know i 'm here for you if you need me . hey , what the hell 's the matter with you ? maxie : what is it you wanted to tell me ? nathan : you have been so great and so supportive -- waiter : one rib sampler with the works , extra mac and cheese . can i get you anything else ? nathan : no , i 'm , uh -- i 'm good . thanks . uh , maxie , you want anything ? maxie : i 'm okay . waiter : okay . maxie : so , what were you saying ? nathan : you know , i -- look , i do n't really want to talk about it anymore . i just want to eat . maxie : okay . nathan : help yourself . maxie : i 'm good with this . lucas : [ chuckling ] i really do n't get you . first you lie to me about helping your partner in crime steal my cousin 's baby . then you show up at the nurses ' ball and just kiss me out of the blue . then you almost get in a fight with felix over who gets to change my bandages , and now you 're accusing the guy of moving in when he 's falling apart over his best friend ? brad : okay , okay , okay . i know things have been really screwed up . and i know i 'm the one who -- who screwed them up . but i 've done all these things because i like you . all right , look , you and i got very close very fast , and maybe that was a mistake , but that 's what happened . okay , i - i think there 's something between us -- okay , something worth saving . and i think you think that , too . lucas : i should get back to my room , brad . my mother , the warden , is probably wondering where i 'm at . brad : lucas . good night . nathan : you never told me what you and mr. self - righteous were fighting about . maxie : um , patrick and sabrina 's baby died . nathan : i heard . that 's so sad . maxie : yeah , you know , my , uh -- my family is almost as convoluted as yours , just in a different way . patrick is basically my -- my brother - in - law , and his daughter , emma , who you probably saw sing that song at the nurses ' ball ... nathan : yeah . i did . maxie : ... now her baby brother is gone . nathan : i was there that night . i drove out with the commissioner to the scene of the accident . she was so worried about her granddaughter . it 's the only time i 've ever seen her lose her cool . maxie : this whole thing is just so unfair . we all thought that the baby , gabriel -- we thought that he was gon na make it . nathan : i am so sorry . maxie : see ? that was n't that hard , was it ? nathan : what was n't ? maxie : offering condolences , saying that you 're sorry . nathan : well , i meant it . maxie : no , i - i know that you mean it . it seems like a little much for levi to manage . nathan : so that 's what your fight was about ? maxie : [ sighs ] i 'm sure he was trying to make me feel better or whatever , but levi just started in on this whole `` everything happens for a reason `` lecture , and i totally lost it because i do n't think that everything happens for a reason . in fact , i think a lot of bad things happen for no reason at all , and there 's nothing that anybody can do about it . nathan : i agree . i - i know that some things have happened to me in the last few months , but nothing like what happened with gabriel , but i do n't think any of it happened for a reason . maxie : exactly . terrible things happen , and they 're terrible to deal with , but we have to do it and get through them . it 's not always the universe sending us a message . nathan : this is good . maxie : what ? levi and me having a fight ? nathan : no , what i mean is , it 's good that you 've decided to stop listening to your yoga guruing to yourself . elizabeth : how did you know ? nikolas : it 's all over the news . is that how you found out ? elizabeth : i was there . nikolas : at the police station ? elizabeth : yes . diane convinced me that i had given up too easily on ric so i went there to tell him that i was on his side , but i did n't get the chance . he was shot before i could tell him . nikolas : come on . come on . i 'll take you home . anna : molly . molly : where is he ? [ voice breaking ] where 's my father ? anna : in another room . molly : fine . take me there . anna : no . alexis : honey , i do n't think that you should see him . molly : mom , i know he 's dead . i just want to say goodbye . alexis : i know , honey . molly : [ sobs ] alexis : he does n't -- he does n't look like himself , and -- and i do n't think your father would want you to see him like that . molly : like what ? what do you mean ? alexis : [ sighs ] there 's been , uh -- uh , a lot of damage , and he does -- he does n't look like you would expect him to look . molly : oh , my god ! daddy ! daddy , i 'm so sorry ! [ sobbing ] please ! daddy ! no ! no ! duke : maybe the truth can work to your advantage . you know , you tell morgan that ava murdered an innocent woman , a woman he knew and cared about . then how could he still have feelings for ava ? it might loosen the hold she has on him . sonny : i know my son . he 's young . he 's impulsive . he acts first . he thinks later . if i told morgan that ava killed connie , he 's gon na confront her . first words out of that bitch 's mouth is gon na be that i shot a.j . morgan 's -- morgan 's gon na go to michael , and he 's gon na tell him 'cause i know him . he wo n't be able to stop himself . so , best - case scenario -- michael 's devastated . worst case -- he wants to get justice . he wants -- he wants to turn me over to the cops . my whole family 's blown . i ca n't -- i ca n't have that . duke : i understand . sonny : and there 's something else . i hate ava even worse than i hate my stepfather . but morgan does n't . he finds out the truth -- how evil she is -- and she 's carrying his baby -- it 's gon na crush him . and like i told you , he 's -- he 's a lot like me . he lashes out , and he 's dangerous , especially to himself . duke : so you 're protecting him . you 're willing to be rejected to save him from ava and from himself . sonny : i 'm his father . i got to do what 's best for my son ... even if -- you know , even if it means that he 's gon na turn his back on me . duke : if only your sons knew what you were willing to sacrifice for their sake . sonny : they can never know , duke . but the good news is , it 's temporary . as soon as the baby 's born , the truth dies with ava . maxie : are you gon na finish those all by yourself ? nathan : help yourself . maxie : and you 're not gon na tell levi ? nathan : my lips are sealed . maxie : hmm . actually , tell him whatever you want . [ chuckles ] nathan : you got a ... maxie : what ? dr. obrecht : britta . what 's wrong ? britt : nothing . dr. obrecht : britta , please . whatever it is , i want to help you . britt : do you really mean that ? dr. obrecht : i do . britt : fine . help me get nikolas back . elizabeth : [ sighs ] i 'm just trying to make sense of it all . he came back . he told me he loved me , that he 'd never stopped . this was our chance . he even kept that silly watch i gave him all those years ago . and now he 's just gone forever ? shot trying to overpower a cop ? i was at the station . i was -- i was there , and i do n't believe that it 's real . anna : right , so i 'm gon na take you to the rear exit . and , uh , there 's a transport waiting to take you to a nearby airstrip . you 'll meet with the feds in charge of setting you up in witness protection . so , they 'll give you a new identity , and they 'll make sure no one in port charles knows you 're still alive . ric : i just saw my daughter fall apart . she thinks i 'm dead . i - i ca n't -- i ca n't leave . anna : i know this is very difficult , ric , but you 've got to focus on the bigger picture . ric : yeah , i know . i know . you keep saying that . but you tell me , anna -- if it was your daughter that was sobbing over your supposed death -- if there were somebody that you loved so much , and you -- you waited five years to come back to them , how much about the bigger picture would you be thinking ? anna : this is what we do , ric -- people like us . we keep our loved ones out of danger . so , you stay dead , and we can focus on finding the person julian is working for . and then you can come back to your home and your life and the people you love . elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : you all right ? elizabeth : yeah , i 'm okay . i just needed a moment . nikolas : i should go check on them . elizabeth : yeah , of course . nikolas : molly , i 'm so sorry . molly : thank you . nikolas : you 're gon na be all right . anna : wait . wait . nikolas : [ sighs ] i 'll walk you to your car . alexis : come on . come on . anna : all right , so we should n't be seen together , so i 'm gon na go first . you 're looking for a black van in parking lot `` j , `` all right ? reserved space 719 . 719 ? ric : 719 . anna : i 'll meet you there . ric : okay . sabrina : oh , it 's open . well ? what do you think ?

( levi punches nathan ) | duke declines sonny 's offer to come back to work for him . sonny confides to him that aj did n't kill connie ; ava did . he says he wishes he could tell morgan , but he ca n't because ava would reveal that he shot aj . he says the only good thing about the situation is that the truth will die with ava after the baby is born . |

[ gasps ] oh , you 're celibate . no , you do n't know . so , he was drunk , and , um , you 're not gon na believe this . i mean , i still barely can , but he shot someone in cold blood . griffin : it does n't sound like he acted in cold blood . it sounds like he acted in the heat of the moment . maxie : okay , um , why would you think that ? [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie told you everything ? spinelli : actually , she -- she clammed up like a mollusk in wet sand . her loyalty is limitless . yeah , but she did mention that you had been previously married , something that you did not disclose . maxie deserves better . nathan : yeah , she does . i know . and i made a mistake . spinelli : bigger mistake than perhaps you realize . see , maxie is slow -- nay , glacial -- to give her trust . you know , her -- she feigns shallowness and frivolity to keep people at arm 's length . it would have been easy enough for her to content herself with your [ chuckles ] striking looks and obvious physical prowess . i stipulate those as facts , not compliments , mind you . but she could have dated you clearly on your -- just your looks . but no , she -- she invested her heart in you . she made herself vulnerable to you . and you thank her by shattering her fragile trust . nathan : spinelli , i know , all right ? you do n't have to remind me how bad i screwed up , okay ? i see it every time i look at maxie . but i got to wonder how it is that you just -- you just show up the moment we start having trouble . [ scene_break ] jason : after i searched the room , i went back downstairs to retrace my steps from that night , and i wound up overhearing emma and spencer talking . and i have to tell you , i do n't think that kid 's in mourning . i think that he knows his father 's alive . sam : okay . that makes sense , because everyone assumes that the kid is in denial , but he 's not because his father is n't dead . and maybe i should talk to him . jason : no , do n't do that . you do n't want to make him think that he betrayed his father . sam : yeah . ugh ! nikolas -- i ca n't believe he would do this to spencer and everybody who loves him . jason : you know , i think nikolas has been spiraling for some time now . he made one bad move that led to a mess of others , and now he 's so far down the rabbit hole , he ca n't see his way out . maybe he needs us . what do you think ? sam : you think so ? jason : i just ca n't believe the guy who used to be married to my sister would ... sam : what ? jason : do you remember the port charles hotel fire ? sam : yes . jason : nikolas saved my life . i just remembered that . i was handcuffed to a banister , and he came down from the roof . sam : he did . they were evacuating people via helicopter . jason : we were the only people left in that building , and ... i told him to get out of there , and he would n't listen to me , and he used a fire axe , got me free . he saved my life . sam : yes . and that is the nikolas i remember . jason : then i owe him . sam : we have to find him . jason : okay . maybe this will help . [ clears throat ] this name mean anything to you ? sam : [ sighs ] yeah , it sure does . [ scene_break ] alexis : how you doing ? bobbie : i 'm okay . i mean , actually , i 'm a little shaken up , but i 'm more concerned about lucas . i mean , can you imagine ? somebody tried to kill me . lucas nearly died instead . lucas : okay , okay . this is no talk for a wedding -- [ glass clinks ] lucas : ooh ! i will have none of it . bobbie : [ laughs ] that 's okay . you want to sit ? be careful . do n't overdo it . lucas : no , no , no . no , mom , no . i 'm great . and i 'm going to stand up next to my groom . we are not wasting another minute apart . brad : yep , because i promised lucas that when he woke up , we 'd get married immediately . and , again , thank you so much to my soon - to - be - in - laws for allowing us to tie the knot in your home . lucas : yeah , thank you . you guys are the shining example of a solid , perfect marriage , the love of a lifetime . who better to help us launch our vows into loving each other forever ? alexis : [ sighs ] lucas : alexis , look . i know you were blindsided by this . i really hope you guys worked things out . alexis : it 's all right . it was just a miscommunication . i 'm really so happy for both of you . [ cell phone chimes ] julian : uh , excuse me . i 'll be right back . carly : why are you so glum , alexis ? hypocrisy weighing you down ? playing the gracious hostess when you know damn well that julian had carlos rivera killed just to shut him up ? julian : you should come on in . lucas and brad are having a small wedding ceremony . you can join us . ava : i do n't have time to celebrate , and neither do you . the cops came to see me , julian . they 're looking at you for carlos ' murder . julian : i thought i had all my bases covered , but there is one loose end i ca n't control . ava : the one named alexis ? alexis : for god 's sake , show a little compassion . it 's your brother 's wedding . carly : yeah , lucas did n't get to choose his father , but you definitely got to choose your husband . see , sonny 's gon na make julian pay for murdering duke , and the more you protect him , the worse it 's gon na be for you . ava : i told you alexis would be a problem . what does she have on you ? julian : the less you know about my situation , the better . i 'm just sorry i brought you into this whole mess with carlos . ava : apology accepted . julian : [ sighs ] ava : now , what do you plan to do about this ? julian : you already know too much . i do n't want the cops to arrest you on some charge and ask you to turn yourself against me like they did carlos , okay ? we need to avoid that at all costs . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i can assure you my sojourn back to port charles coinciding with your crisis with maxie is -- is pure coincidence . nathan : hmm . spinelli : i thought we were -- thought we 're beyond this enmity . i mean , after all , it was you who coordinated that happy reunion with maxie and georgie on christmas eve . nathan : yeah , it was . it was . but i still ca n't forget that you managed to sneak your way into her heart last year and almost break us up . spinelli : maybe maxie would have been better for it . 'cause you certainly are n't worthy of her . however , ellie and i are more solid than ever . if maxie leaves you , it 'll have nothing to do with me . that will all be on you . nathan : i know . spinelli : look , i suggest you do everything in your power to make this up to maxie . i want the best for her , and i will do all i can to ensure that she gets it . so shape up . or you 'll have to answer to me . [ cell phone rings ] nathan : west . yeah . yeah , have a black and white meet me there . [ scene_break ] griffin : nathan 's actions do n't sound premeditated . you said he was drunk . i mean , he certainly did n't expect to find his wife in bed with another man . he was a cop . he had a gun . he shot that other man without thinking . it 's the very definition of crime of passion . maxie : uh , i 'm sorry . are you making excuses for nathan ? [ scene_break ] naomi : you found yourself a good one , honey . at least for a little while . hayden : yeah , no matter how much we fought , you know , what we had together was real . it was more than just sexual chemistry , although we certainly had that . naomi : why is it that the bad boys are always the best in bed ? [ chuckles ] oh , my god . you know , i have n't had this since -- well , since your father was arrested . i do miss the little luxuries in life . hayden : if you 're referring to the diamonds ... this is the last i saw of them . nikolas sent this to me . after the nurses ' ball , he was trying to entice me to join him , and i let someone talk me out of it . if had i just decided to come home , nikolas might still be alive . [ scene_break ] jason : you know this man ? sam : yeah , i - i sure do . he 's a forger . um , he set up shop like six months after you disappeared . that 's why you probably do n't recognize his name . but he specializes in fake ids -- driver 's license , social security cards , credit cards -- jason : passports . sam : bingo ! yes ! jason : well , that is great as far as circumstantial evidence goes , but it 's not gon na prove that nikolas is alive . sam : okay , well , we 've got to figure out where he might have gone . jason : well , i liberated something from nikolas ' house . [ clears throat ] his laptop . maybe this will help . sam : [ chuckles ] thank you . jason : thank you . [ scene_break ] naomi : you know , we do n't need to sell all them . we could keep a couple for ourselves . hayden : for the last time , mother , there 's nothing to keep . i do n't have the diamonds . i do n't know where they are . nikolas must have put them in a safe- deposit box or something . naomi : then we 'll find the key . hayden : i looked everywhere , and the feds have searched the entire house . the only thing they found was an original inventory on the diamonds . they took that list away to see if they can link it to me . and if they can , they 're going to have me arrested . [ knock on door ] hayden : and on that cheerful note ... [ door opens ] hayden : back so soon ? holland : may we come in ? hayden : sure . why not ? holland : to reiterate , this is a detailed inventory of the missing diamonds . we had it tested , and we found your fingerprints all over it . [ scene_break ] sam : what ? are you kidding me ? nikolas has this locked up so tight , i ca n't hack my way in . jason : well , we 'll figure something out . sam : yeah , like what ? i used spinelli 's shortcut . it 's not working . whatever nikolas used , he 's making it impossible . [ knock on door ] jason : right on time . sam : who ? spinelli : fair samantha , it is i , your faithful friend and erstwhile partner , the jackal ! hey , gracious greetings . jason : thanks for coming . sam : get over here ! spinelli : it is my great pleasure to assist . fair samantha ! hi ! sam : ohh ! oh , i missed you so much ! spinelli : my goodness ! you are a vision as always . sam : thank you . spinelli : all right , well , uh , point me to the device in question , perhaps , and i will commence hacking , hmm ? jason : before we get started , um , could n't really say this over the phone , but my memories are starting to come back . it 's not perfect , and it 's slowly kind of getting there , but when i look at someone , i begin to remember . and when i look at you , i remember what a great friend you 've been to me . spinelli : [ sighs ] jason : whatever i ask you , even the impossible , you came through . spinelli : you are mistaken . perhaps your memory 's still somewhat suspect , but no , it was -- it was you , not i , who regularly did the impossible . you are an amazing friend , and i - i missed you . jason : i missed you , too , man . spinelli : [ laughs ] [ chuckling ] oh . oh ! [ scene_break ] griffin : i 'm not making excuses for nathan . maxie : yeah , it kind of sounds like you are . he shot someone . i 'm not sure i can just let that go . griffin : okay , everyone in that particular situation was wrong . i - i detest guns and the violence that inevitably comes with them , but the weapon was there , nathan was carrying . he was n't thinking clearly . he was blinded by jealousy , so he used it . maxie : i understand . i 've done plenty of things that are wrong . i 've gotten into more trouble than we could talk about here today . but this is nathan that we 're talking about . and he 's usually steady and slow to anger . he thinks things through . at least i thought he did . he 's just not the man that i thought he was . griffin : is n't nathan basically still a good man ? he 's likely suffering the tortures of the damned . his guilt eating away at him . maxie : yeah , i mean , he does seem pretty remorseful , like -- like he would do anything to make this not have ever happened . griffin : look , one action , one mistake in your past does n't define your whole life . it does n't define who nathan is now . if i did n't believe that , i would have gone to live in a cave a long time ago . maxie : why ? what mistake did you make ? [ scene_break ] julian : it 's best not to leave ourselves vulnerable . that hornsby hypocrite could take it upon himself to cook some charges up against you . ava : oh , yes , he definitely could . julian : which is why i 'm strongly urging you to remove yourself from the situation until this blows over . ava : by doing what ? julian : leave town . better yet , leave the country . i mean , i 'm sure there 's something you could find to do on some distant shore . ava : yeah , now that you mention it , i did recently acquire a very rare , very valuable antiquity . not my usual purview , nothing i can show at the gallery , so i suppose it could be advantageous for me to show it overseas in person . julian : leave it to you to find some way to turn a profit , huh ? ava : [ laughs ] you hand me lemons , i 'm gon na make lemon drop martinis . besides , i definitely do n't want the cops at my door again , so i 'll go . julian : well , i certainly think it 's best . ava : okay . enjoy your son 's wedding . julian : i will , and thank you . thank you for removing yourself from the situation . ava : good luck convincing alexis to do the same . julian : [ sighs ] officiant : so , are you guys ready to get married ? brad : absolutely . lucas : yeah . let 's do this . we 're ready . hey , uh , where 's dad ? [ door closes ] julian : hey ! i 'm sorry . sorry . i , uh , i had to get these for the grooms ' lapels . lucas : aww . bobbie : oh , that was a great idea , and very thoughtful of you . brad : yeah , thank you . bobbie : here , i 'm gon na let you do this . julian : sorry if i held things up . i know you two have been waiting a long time to get married , so , uh , let 's get you married before , uh , something else stops you . lucas : let 's do it . officiant : we 're gathered together tonight to witness the joining of two lives . i 've been asked to make this short and sweet . brad : yes , no use tempting fate . officiant : so , on to the main event . lucas and brad have written their own vows . carly : aww . officiant : brad ? carly : [ chuckles ] brad : lucas , we 're finally here . lucas : yeah . i , uh ... [ knock on door ] carly : oh , look . the cops . alexis : detective west , um , how can i help you ? as you can see , we 're in the middle of something . nathan : i see that , and i apologize for interrupting , but i have a warrant to search the premises for evidence in the murder of carlos rivera . [ scene_break ] griffin : i save my confessions for church . suffice it to say , you should n't define nathan by this one act , especially if he 's never given you a reason before to fear or doubt him . and nathan 's punished himself enough . maxie : this just all feels so unresolved . i mean , what happened to the guy that nathan shot ? and why has n't he reported him ? griffin : maybe he had something to hide , as well . maxie : you think he was a criminal ? oh , my god , do you think he was married , too ? griffin : he may have broken a vow he made , yes . he may have been ashamed . look , m - maybe it just took a bullet for him to realize how far he 'd fallen from grace . maybe -- maybe he felt as bad after it happened as nathan did . [ scene_break ] julian : this is just harassment . i gave my statement . i have an alibi . nathan : funny thing about that alibi . we discovered a discrepancy about the time you said you arrived at crimson . seems you did have time to stab carlos rivera before nina saw you that night . carly : what a shock . bobbie : carly , not now . officiant : perhaps i should go . julian : you know what ? you just stay right there . my wife is representing me in this matter . alexis : may i see a warrant ? julian : honestly , officer , uh , ca n't this wait ? my son 's about to get married here . nathan : no , i 'm afraid not . alexis : it 's valid . nathan : i 'm gon na go ahead and search upstairs while officer hollister here keeps an eye on you , if you 'd like to continue . brad : we would . welcome to our wedding . the more , the merrier . julian : [ sighs ] brad : please . julian : [ sighs ] lucas : dad ? julian : mm . lucas : they 're not gon na find anything , right ? julian : no , no , there 's , uh , nothing to find . just go ahead . get married . i would n't have it any other way . lucas : okay . let 's do this , then . officiant : brad , you were about to give you vow . brad : yes . um ... lucas , i was a , uh , confused and shallow person when we first met . misguided , sneaky , promiscuous , even cruel at times . but somehow , in one night that began on barstools , you reached deep inside and found my best self . and slowly over the next few months , you straightened me out , so to speak . a man who , uh -- i ca n't believe i 'm saying this -- who wants to be good , honest , and generous like you . a partner that never wants to fail or disappoint you , because i 'm only happy when you shine the light of your love on me . and nearly losing you , i could n't breathe . i did n't think it was possible , but my love for you grew even more and continues to do so . i will treasure every minute of every day . my love knows no bounds . and by the time we 're old men , strolling on a beach , leaning on each other ... lucas : [ chuckles ] brad : ... my love for you will be as infinite as those grains of sand and that deep blue ocean . bobbie : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : what would you have me do with this here machine ? sam : what else ? i want you to break in . i need everything off the hard drive . that shortcut you gave me did not work . uh - huh . spinelli : that 's unusual . my custom codes usually can break through any firewall . let 's ... ah , well , alas , i see the problem . sam : what ? spinelli : the hard drive has been wiped clean , thereby erasing all traces of correspondence and research . jason : can you do something about that ? spinelli : i 'm so glad you asked . jason : i thought you might . spinelli : nothing ever is truly deleted , and it just so happens i have been perfecting a forensic program that might be of use . jason : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] hayden : i told you before , i do n't know anything about that list or the diamonds . agent : this evidence says otherwise . we 're gon na have to take you in . naomi : uh , excuse me . i do n't believe i 've met either of you gentlemen before , but i 'm sure your superiors have mentioned me . naomi dreyfus , the ex - mrs . raymond berlin . agent : we know who you are , ma'am . naomi : well , then you must also know that i 'm the one who blew the whistle on my husband . i - i testified for the prosecution , and i was cleared of any wrongdoing , so i trust that confirms that i 'm reliable . agent : in what way ? naomi : well , i heard you mention the inventory a - about the diamonds from my necklace , and ... agent : that 's right . your daughter denies any knowledge , but her fingerprints are all over it . naomi : well ... of course , they are . and i can tell you why . hayden : do n't do this . naomi : i 'm afraid i have no choice . we did promise our full cooperation . so , a year or two before i discovered my husband 's ponzi scheme , i was updating our insurance policy . in order to do so , i had to provide the company with an entire inventory of the contents of all of our properties . at the time , we had quite a few -- palm beach , taos , aspen . [ sighs ] of course , the house in connecticut and that apartment in manhattan . oh , my god . well , as -- as you can imagine , that was quite a daunting task for me to do by myself , so i enlisted the help of my daughter , who entered all of the inventory into a computer , along with the list of the diamonds , and she printed it out . so naturally , her fingerprints are all over it . agent : those diamonds were never found at any of your homes . why would you have the list here in port charles if you did n't also have the jewels ? naomi : i have no idea what happened to that necklace . perhaps raymond sensed that you were closing in on him , and he stashed it away in some safe - deposit box . or perhaps one of the federal agents who raided our home absconded with it . i mean , corruption is always a possibility . you all are so terribly underpaid . agent : i do n't think insulting us is the best way to go . do you ? naomi : suggesting that an agent took it has just as much validity as suggesting my daughter has it . there 's no evidence to support either scenario . and my daughter is just as much a victim of her father 's crime as any of his clients are . she has also just lost a husband whom she loves very , very much . so just back off . now ! [ scene_break ] spinelli : in a few moments , my algorithm should retrieve all the missing data . if i may be so bold , it is truly glorious to see you two back together . sam : oh . and it feels pretty glorious , too . spinelli : yeah .

[ scene_break ] lucas : brad , before we met on those barstools , i was aimless and adrift , afraid to practice medicine , afraid to take risks , afraid to love for fear that i would fail . but your swagger gave me confidence . your coolness gave me warmth . and your cockiness astonished me . [ chuckles ] but you did this . you are why we are here today . you took big chances . you made big gestures . you handed your heart to me when i could n't do the same for you . i know i 've let you down sometimes , but because of you , i learned to be vulnerable . i learned to have faith that you 'll love me even when i fail , because i will . because of you , i 've learned my potential as a doctor , as a man , and as a husband . you gave me faith in myself and in the world . when i was so sick , you filled me up with your love and pulled me back from the edge . you gave your heart to me . your love saved my life . you say that i make you want to be a better man . you do the same for me . and that does n't mean that we 're perfect . we 're not . we 're gon na mess up , 'cause nobody 's perfect . but what i know to be true is that you and i are perfect for each other . and we always will be . julian : you find anything , detective ? nathan : not yet , but i have n't searched down here . julian : do your worst . carly : i have the honeymoon suite at the metro court set up for you guys . brad : sweet . lucas : hmm . thank you , sis . you 're the best . carly : i am .

[ jason sighs ] jason : and we talked for a few minutes , she let me hold the baby , and i left . diane : all right , exactly , how did this leave - taking occur ? did you -- did you get a phone call , did you -- jason : yeah , i did , actually . i got a phone call . diane : from ? jason : from sonny . diane : and the conversation was regarding ? jason : work . diane : huh . and by that , i 'm sure you mean coffee . all right , look , jason , do you have any reason to believe that elizabeth spencer is going to tell her husband about the fact that you visited her in the hospital on the day lorenzo alcazar disappeared , or the fact that you received a phone call ? jason : that 's enough , okay ? i 'm not -- i 'm not on the witness stand right now . diane : yes ! fine ! but elizabeth spencer might be , and i need to be prepared . so , what does she know , and how badly can it hurt your case ? [ scene_break ] jax : well , it does n't look like your morning went any better than mine . carly : you first . jax : okay . i went to the hotel , i had another conversation with my mom that went around in circles about jerry . yeah , well , it 's unfortunate , but my mother 's gone completely to the cynical side . carly : she 's a smart lady , jax . i went to see sonny and ask him if he were tracking jerry . he said he does n't know where jerry is and he does n't have any plans on finding him . jax : well , thanks for trying . carly : do you realize that not a day has gone by since our honeymoon that our life has n't been about jerry ? jax : i know , i know . carly : i married you , and i love you , and i really , really want to be with my husband . jax : well , i 'm right here . carly : there are so many things that i did n't get to show you on our honeymoon . jax : really ? carly : mm - hmm . jax : hmm .

[ emily chuckles ] elizabeth : shame on you for making that poor girl think that all doctors are really nice underneath . emily : i 'm not sure how much good i did -- i 've been so distracted worrying about jason . did he give you any idea of what 's been bothering him , aside from the fact that he 's been arrested for murder ? elizabeth : no . i just have this bad feeling was something deeper , something personal . emily : yeah . hey , new daddy . how 's it going ? lucky : hey . can i speak with you for a minute ? elizabeth : yeah . what 's wrong ? lucky : after everything we talked about , argued about , why did you go visit jason again ? [ scene_break ] jason : elizabeth and i have been friends for a long time . she would never testify against me . diane : jason , she may not have a choice . jason : she 's not going to tell lucky that she saw me in the hospital that day . diane : how can you be so sure ? jason : well , because he does n't like that we 're friends . diane : i ca n't imagine why . jason : look , she does n't want to cause a fight with lucky by telling him that she saw me . diane : she obviously had no hesitation about visiting you here today . jason : because i 'm in lockup . she 's a friend ; she wanted to show her support . diane : she 's married to a cop ! look , jason , do n't misunderstand me . i am not judging your personal life . i do not care if this woman is your friend or your lover or your partner in tournament bridge -- i do n't care ! the point is she is not protected by spousal privilege . elizabeth spencer could be compelled legally by the court to reveal any conversation you 've had with her . jason : she 's not going to do that . diane : fine . then she has two choices -- refuse to cooperate and be charged with obstruction of justice , or lie and be charged with perjury . jason : elizabeth is not going to be called to testify against me , diane ! diane : you do n't know that ! and this is a really bad time to indulge in wishful thinking ! leave ! sonny : i need to see jason . diane : all right , i se i see . we 're going to -- we 're going to completely ignore the constitution today . hey , i have an idea -- let 's mount a -- a positive - thinking defense , okay ? because , golly , the d.a . will never call any of jason 's friends as witnesses because that would be mean . all right , do my client and yourself a very big favor -- do not let jason reveal anything that could get you called as a witness . sonny : bye .

claire : you know , there are two conflicting opinions about you in law enforcement circles . sonny : yeah ? claire : and two that come up quite a bit . you 're flat - out crazy . or you 're an ingenious manipulator . not mutually exclusive , of course , 'cause as i 've just discovered , you 're both . you actually pitched a federal prosecutor a scenario that allows you to kill a man in self - defense for the mental well - being of your teenage daughter . sonny : mm - hmm . claire : i am honestly speechless . sonny : well , that 's not gon na last . and you know what else is not gon na last ? johnny turning my daughter against me . claire : you know what ? say you 're absolutely right . kristina hates you and it 's all johnny 's fault . on what planet does that give you the right to kill him and expect me to look the other way ? [ scene_break ] kristina : maybe it was too obvious and it took an incident like with ashley and willow to go , oh , well , there 's the perfect solution . we 'll hang out together in public , i 'll gaze longingly into your eyes , and it 'll get back to dad , and we can sit back and watch him explode . johnny : i saw those two self - righteous bitches giving you a hard time and i followed my rescue impulse and stepped in . i never once imagined it would turn into a thing . kristina : but it 's perfect . dad will hate it more than god hates sin . johnny : kristina ... i understand that you 're going through a really , really tough time right now . i do . i mean , you were beaten to a pulp several times by a guy who claimed to love you . your brother , who you would confide in in situations like this is locked up in federal prison because the adults in his life are clueless . your father is more focused on defending himself than he is being there for you . i understand you want to get your father 's attention , but pretending to be with me is absolutely no way to go about getting it . kristina : come on , johnny , do n't even try to tell me you would n't enjoy this . you hate my father . you 're all about making him suffer . and trust me , right now my father is a rational human being , compared to what he 'll turn into if he thinks i 'm dating you .

[ sonny laughs ] claire : and where i 'm headed , you 're not a thought on anybody 's mind . you 're just something they 'd scrape off the bottom of their shoes . you 're a steppingstone , sonny . just a way for me to get where i 'm going . sonny : your ambition is not the point . claire : oh , okay . you brought it up . sonny : yeah , but the point is , you 'd be a fool to help me bring johnny down when you could take me down instead . claire : are you accusing me of a double - cross ? sonny : are you planning to ? [ scene_break ] lucky : what 's up , dad ? luke : hi . lucky : tracy . ethan told me not to get involved . he said there was some plan that i could be messing up . is that true ? luke : yeah . helena 's plan . she , uh , kidnapped her , used her as bait , knowing that i would follow . where is the bitch ? is she around here , do you know ? nikolas : according to the servants , luke , no , but then again , they told me you were n't being held prisoner . tracy : okay , look , forgive me if i skip the postmortem . you get me to a 5-star hotel or i will make your life miserable . nikolas : okay , tracy . no need for threats . ari 's waiting for you at the top of the stairs . he 'll take you to athens , both of you . luke : i do n't have to be asked twice . good man .

[ cell phone rings ] carly : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , i have to take this . patrick : yeah . carly : what 's going on ? brook lynn : hey . dante 's gone and lulu just got home . carly : i 'm on my way .

[ jason sighs ] michael : if it helps , i know i used to think it would be really cool to be you . that what you were was someone to be feared , yes , but also admired . but now i know the real deal . killing is n't about inspiring fear or commanding respect . killing is only about ... staying alive . it sometimes comes down to that choice -- you or the other guy . and that 's not really much of a choice at all . [ scene_break ] claire : i 'll restate my terms once again . if you provoke johnny into committing an illegal act , i will see to it that he 's caught , prosecuted , and convicted of that illegal act . however , if during that process , i catch you committing an illegal act , i will arrest you . no immunity . and if you kill johnny , i will make sure you 're convicted of murder . so what part of this is n't getting through ? sonny : i 'll tell you the part that is getting through is the part about my kids . you know what ? that -- look -- look -- this is not a game to me . you can roll your eyes , do whatever you want . bottom line , i 'm watching my kids go through hell . i got a son who 's in prison , and he 's gon na stay there if johnny keeps pushing me into a street war . i got a daughter ... she 's struggling with herself because some animal decided it was best to beat her senseless . and then i got morgan 's mother telling me i ca n't see my son anymore , and she 's allowing a man , my enemy , to adopt him . claire : well , given that her other son wound up in prison , i can kind of see carly 's point . sonny : of course you would . look , i 'm doing the best here to get michael released . i 'm doing what i can . and the reason i made this deal with you is because can not stop on his own . i am -- i 'm looking for a peaceful solution to a problem that could escalate to even more chaos for my kids , if you can imagine that . now ... do we still have a deal ? claire : i 'm in . i do n't want war any more than you do . and god knows your children have enough to deal with than having to worry about their father being mowed down in the street . sonny : thanks .

[ sighs ] this is just different . dante : why ? why is it different ? lulu : this is n't about love or forgiveness or guilt . my dad 's -- he 's slipped away from us , it feels like . dante : you 're talking about him , making him sound like he 's dead . lulu : well , he 's at a place where nothing matters . you know ? all he has to do is survive , and he does n't have to care about anyone or love anyone . he has no responsibility . it 's as if my dad 's resigned from being our father .

'cause i 'm really hungry , and i want a snack , and i ca n't be bothered to order room service , because i ca n't make another decision today ! luke : okay . slim , i got it covered . but first , would you like a cocktail ? or would you rather warm up with a downward dog ? anna : well , i think it 's yoga happy hour much better . thank you . luke : you 're welcome . anna : [ sighs ] oh , god . where did the get that picture ? luke : yeah . sorry about the bad publicity . anna : seriously ... there 's no body . how am i supposed to hold you ? you know , you have certain constitutional rights . even if you are my roommate . luke : you sound a little defensive there , commissioner . anna : yeah . i had a run - in with the mayor today . why she is so shocked that we are living together is beyond me , because she actually came to this very suite to ask me if i wanted the job . now , she gave me a total dressing down for `` nondisclosure `` of my living situation . she jumped to the ... worst possible conclusion , too . luke : which is ? anna : that we are lovers and that is why i set you loose . i told her we were just friends . i do n't think she believed me . luke : well , she would have believed you had she stopped by the floating rib and saw the floor show . anna : oh , yeah ? what floor show ? luke : tracy . anna : oh . luke : she kissed me . dante : why do n't you tell me about your day ? what did you do with your day off ? did you do something fun ? lulu : actually , i got an offer on the haunted star . dante : you did ? wow ! i mean , that 's great . in this market , especially . i mean , that thing 's just sitting there , like , costing docking fees . plus , you got shot there . lulu : just a flesh wound . dante : still , not a good memory . so who 's the sucker that took it off your hands ? lulu : actually , johnny zacchara . carly : so , you 're going into business with lulu . johnny : well , you were right about her not wanting to sell the whole thing , so she sold me half , and we 're partners . carly : lulu works at the police station . johnny : yeah , she 's pushing files in the evidence room . she 's bored out of her mind . carly : so lulu 's okay with being your partner . johnny : yeah , but i 'm starting to think that maybe you 're not okay with it . carly : i 'm not . ewen : i promise i wo n't tell sonny . you have my word , okay ? connie : okay . ewen : is he the baby 's father ? connie : i do n't want to talk about that . ewen : anything you tell us , you know , might help us to understand -- connie : what 's there to understand ? i 'm 17 , and i 'm pregnant . and if you ca n't figure out why that 's a disaster , why it ruins everything , then i ca n't explain it to you . ewen : i can help you , but -- connie : no , you ca n't help me ! no one can help me ! this is -- this is much worse than you realize . you do n't get it . ewen : then help me get it , connie . tell me why you 're so afraid . sonny : i was working for joe scully when i was still in high school . a runner mostly , but he thought i had potential . i had n't fully committed to scully or his business 'cause i was seeing kate . we had plans . she was supposed to go to college , princeton , and i had a legit job in trenton . we were gon na leave brooklyn ... and start a whole new life together . connie : sonny and i -- we got this plan . we 're gon na meet on the corner of 18th avenue and 81st street by milestone park . and we 're getting out of bensonhurst . i 'm going to college . sonny 's getting a real job . he 's getting away from joe scully and the business . but this baby changes everything . [ crying ] what am i gon na do ? ewen : well , you know the answer to that , connie . do n't you ? sonny : she never showed up . never really said why . i guess i did n't fit into her future plans . i would have done anything for her . so i waited all night ... heart in my hands . joe scully drives by , puts two and two together , and he looks at me , and he says ... `` you 're better off , kid . `` and he offered me a job , an opportunity to advance . i took it . nothing to lose . mcbain : that 's all very touching . how 'bout we fast - forward to the part where you kill my sister ? dante : so , what is john zacchara gon na do with the haunted star ? is he gon na sell black - market organs dockside ? lulu : of course not . dante : maybe he 's just gon na go conventional . maybe he 'll just launder money through the casino . lulu : he wants to turn the haunted star into a nightclub . no gambling . no strippers . nothing illegal . just music and dancing and ... dante : tell me you refused to sell . lulu : johnny had the check in hand , and i thought we could use more money , and we can buy a new a.c. now with that . dante : are you crazy ? this is literally half of what the place is worth . lulu : johnny only offered me half . dante : so , what , he 's got a partner ? lulu : me . carly : god ! okay , look , i 'm just gon na say this once , and then i 'm gon na let it go . all right ? johnny : okay . carly : when people share an emotional connection , you know , it never really goes away . and , yes , i 'm uneasy with you and lulu being in close proximity . but i 'm not gon na ask you to give up your dream . especially before it 's even gotten started . so ... johnny : you mean that ? carly : i 'm choosing to trust you . johnny : you got nothing to worry about . carly : [ scoffs ] johnny : no , come on . you 're the woman i love . carly : the woman you love . johnny : yeah , that 's what i said . i know how lucky i am to have you back after all the stuff that i did . anthony : except she does n't know everything you 've done , does she , johnny ? alice : i knew it . you and mr. luke are made for each other . tracy : you might be right . alice : of course i am . you 've been miserable ever since you made him divorce you . tracy : i did not make him divorce me . he just decided to divorce me . but the good news is i - i think that we have finally settled our differences . alice : wow . because last i remember , you said that you would n't get back together with mr. luke if he crawled through broken glass for you . so what changed your mind ? luke : we were having an early lunch at the floating rib -- you know , a rack of ribs . and i was kind of smeared with barbecue sauce . so i guess she could n't resist . anna : i thought you two were over and that she hated you . luke : well , she does , but that 's how she shows affection . anna : i see . luke : i hold her in high esteem , you know . anna : uh - huh . luke : and occasionally the feeling is mutual . i guess today was one of those days . anna : how was the kiss ? luke : sticky . anna : oh . luke : she wants me back . anna : how do you know that ? luke : because she said , `` luke , i want you back . `` anna : oh , yeah . that 's pretty clear . connie : it 's all ruined . everything we wanted , everything we planned . ewen : how is it ruined ? connie : because we almost got out of here . we almost got away from the neighborhood and everyone in it , but we waited too long . ewen : try to remember what happened . close your eyes . listen to my voice . you 're 17 . you 're pregnant . you 're supposed to meet sonny on the corner . connie : [ exhales sharply ] ewen : now open your eyes and tell me everything that happened . connie : [ gasps ] i could n't tell him . i could n't tell him ! i left him on the corner ... standing there . that 's when he went to work for joe scully full- time . he started working his way up the organization , and then he went to atlantic city to run a club there . and everyone thought that that was the life he chose . but -- but it was my fault . it was my fault because i drove him to it when i turned my back on him . sonny : there are moments that change your life . connie leaving me on that street corner was one of them . mcbain : still have n't heard how this connects to theresa . sonny : joe scully had a son , joe jr . he was a screw - up and a bully , running his mouth , always getting himself in trouble , assuming his father was gon na clean it up . that became my job after a while , cleaning up after joe jr. well , eventually , he started to interfere with the business , so his father got him out of brooklyn , set him up in a place in this club in atlantic city called the sea breeze . mcbain : yeah . that 's where theresa worked . sonny : well , it turns out , you know , joe was n't any good at running clubs , like he was n't any good at anything else , 'cause , you know , he got distracted by the girls and the high rollers , and he started spending more money than he was taking in . and the associates started to complain . so ... scully sent me in there to run things . that 's where i met theresa . she was one of the girls dancing at the club . mcbain : you know ... you know she was underage ? sonny : joe jr . hired everybody . it was n't , you know ... everybody had i.d . mcbain : fake ids . sonny : okay , my job was to go there and make sure that the club ran smoothly , that everybody was happy . i was n't the guidance counselor . i did n't get paid for that . mcbain : i bet . last time i talked to her , she told me she was scared . sonny : theresa was way in over her head . mcbain : whose fault was that ? sonny : you 're her brother . mcbain : yeah . sonny : uh - huh . mcbain : i screwed up . i spent the first 10 years of my life not even knowing she existed , next dozen years trying to track her down . sonny : well , you got a lot of guilt for that . so instead of blaming me , maybe you should blame yourself . mcbain : maybe . she told me she could n't leave the club 'cause her boss would kill her . and i told her ... i told her that i could protect her . sonny : you were wrong . mcbain : you know what really sticks in me ? after all this time , that image of you kneeling over her body , with the gun in your hand . sonny : and you jumped to the wrong conclusion . i did n't kill your sister . i was trying to help her . ewen : you say you 're pregnant . you love sonny . he loves you . why leave him standing on the corner ? why not just tell him about the baby ? connie : i ca n't tell sonny . he can never find out . ewen : unless you did n't want to keep it , which is understandable . you were young . you had a scholarship to a great school . was that it ? or were you afraid of how sonny would react when you told him he was about to be a father ? connie : [ crying ] it 's not sonny 's baby . how can i tell him that ? anna : so you got this sticky barbecue - sauce situation with tracy . and she wants you back . what did you say ? luke : i told her i thought it was a really bad idea . i mean , if nothing more , it gives the d.a . motive . anna : right . yeah . the two of you dispatched anthony because you were involved . luke : exactly . anna : makes sense . luke : i thought so . anna : so ... i 'm curious . um ... would you have said ? what do you mean ? do you want tracy back ? dante : you were not at the courthouse when sonny 's verdict came back . okay , johnny 's sitting beside carly , trying to throw that in sonny 's face , trying to provoke him . this club is gon na be more of the same . lulu : how would that work ? dante : sonny does n't want to offend your father . as long as you 're part owner of this bar , johnny can run any scam he wants , and sonny wo n't make a move against him . lulu : except johnny does n't want to run a scam . he wants to run a legitimate nightclub . dante : you believe that ? lulu : i do ! i do . and i thought that you would trust me on this . dante : like you trusted me ? you just -- we 're married ! you just went and sold a piece of real estate without telling me , and then you 're gon na go into business with a mobster . lulu : okay . let 's talk about what 's really going on here . dante : well , i think i 've covered everything . lulu : except for the fact that johnny was my ex . carly : hey . where 'd you go ? johnny : ah . sorry . long day . you want a drink ? carly : i 'd love one . i have to make a call , so i 'll be right back . johnny : pull yourself together , man . [ sighs ] anthony : you think you 've got it all figured out . you kill me , pin it on tracy and luke . you kill starr manning 's family and convince connie to take the rap . johnny : it 's done . you 're dead . time for me to have the life i want . anthony : too many loose ends , john . you 've got my body floating around who knows where . you got connie on the loose . it 's gon na blow up in your face . johnny : no . not this time . no , it 's not . anthony : you ca n't outrun the past , john . there 's a reason they call this place the haunted star . johnny : will you shut the hell up ? ! [ sighs ] carly : who are you talking to ? johnny : [ sighs ] my grandfather . sonny : joe jr. was a pig . he was going through all the women at the club . he was after your sister . she wanted her job , but she was not interested , so she came to me to help her . mcbain : [ chuckles ] she came to you for protection . sonny : i did everything i could , but joe jr. got the wrong impression . he thought that i wanted theresa for myself . mcbain : did you ? sonny : [ sighs ] she was dealing with so much , i was n't gon na take advantage of that . mcbain : that 's very noble of you . sonny : joe jr. did n't have the guts to deal with me . so he would take it out on theresa . one night , after the show , he took her in a room , and he cornered her . and i heard her yelling . so i ran in the room . and he had her by the hair . and i said , `` joe , let her go ! `` but he was out of control ... and he shot her ... right in front of me . he dropped the gun , panicked , and he ran away like the coward he is . that 's exactly what happened , mcbain . i swear to you on my children 's lives . connie : but it was my fault . i should have never let him in the door . ewen : who ? connie : joe jr . he hated how his father relied on sonny . he was afraid of sonny 'cause he knew that sonny had a temper and he would never beat him in a fight . [ chuckles ] so he 'd make all these digs on sonny , just act like he was some employee . i hated joe jr . it was another reason to get out of the neighborhood . ewen : connie , what happened ? connie : one night , my parents were at my aunt sophia 's . and joe jr . came by looking for sonny . and i let him in . i thought sonny was on his way home . but sonny was working , and joe jr . knew that . and he was pissed . he had a bottle in his pocket , empty bottle of bourbon . i hate that smell . and he started -- he started -- stop it ! get your hands off me , you bastard ! ewen : what 's happening , connie ? connie : [ gasps ] you 're hurting me ! stop it ! ewen : what 's he doing , connie ? connie : [ gasps ] he 's -- he 's pinning me down ! i ca n't get off of him . i -- his hands are on my throat . i ca n't s - scream . ewen : connie , you can -- you can face this , connie . connie : [ screams ] he 's hurting me ! he 's tearing my clothes . no ! ewen : you can survive this , connie . you 're strong enough . survive . connie : oh ! he 's raping me ! [ gasps ] he 's raping me ! [ crying ] [ gasps ] [ crying ] [ crying ] [ crying ] [ crying ] alice : mr. luke kissed you ? tracy : well , technically ... i kissed him first , but he was a willing participant , and i decided just to go all - in and ... tell him i wanted him back . alice : wow . well , wait . that means that mr. luke is gon na be coming back , and i 've got to air out his room , and i got to go -- tracy : no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . he 's not moving back in any time soon . alice : why not ? tracy : because ... given my current husband and his disappearance , luke and i decided that discretion would be the order of the day , and , um , it 's just for now . anna : okay , for argument 's sake , tracy is now a widow and neither of you are indicted in his murder . would you go back to tracy ? [ knock on door ] luke : was that the phone ? dante : johnny has changed since you knew him . okay , the days of him making the right choice , doing the right thing , those are gone . lulu : but i think that johnny opening a legitimate club is his way of doing the right thing . he does n't want anything to do with his old life or anything with anthony 's business . dante : has he done one thing to prove that to you ? lulu : [ sighs ] look , i have a chance to reopen the haunted star and make it something to be proud of , and johnny wants a fresh start . carly : anthony back ? johnny : just ... within my head , my thoughts . carly : you really think he 's dead , huh ? johnny : the evidence seems to be compelling enough . anthony : you should know . you 're the one who killed me , john . carly : well , what 's he saying ? anthony : go ahead . tell her . carly : you can tell me . i 'm not gon na think you 're weird or anything . johnny : he 's saying that , uh ... he 's saying that i 'm a fool if i think that i 'm gon na be able to make a go of this place or make things work with you . carly : who cares what he says ? hey , he gave you nothing but pain . he 's a liar and a bully . dead or alive , he has no power over you . connie : i was a virgin . sonny and i -- we were waiting . we loved each other , but ... we did n't want anything to mess up our plans . i wanted my first time to be with sonny . i wanted it to be beautiful . [ crying ] oh , god . ewen : listen to me , connie . what happened to you was brutal and unforgivable . but it 's over , okay ? joe jr. 's gone . he 's -- he ca n't hurt you anymore . you 're safe . sonny : when you arrested me for theresa 's murder , i kept my mouth shut . mcbain : why ? you said you wanted to help my sister , but you protected her killer . sonny : in my line of work , you talk to cops , you do n't live very long . plus , it was the boss 's son . mcbain : so scully -- he paid off the a.c. cops . sonny : he did n't want joe jr. involved . not just as a father , but he was bad for business , so he told me to keep my mouth shut and he 'd make it go away . mcbain : got the judge to dismiss the case . sonny : scully has a lot of people in his pocket . mcbain : so , according to you , theresa was just collateral damage because scully wanted to protect his son . and all you did was let him get away with it . sonny : i 'm in a different business than you are , lieutenant . it has different rules . mcbain : do n't be so sure . you 've done well for yourself since then , sonny . clearly , scully was ... grateful for your loyalty . sonny : to a point . i mean , when this thing with your sister and joe jr. -- mcbain : you mean her murder . sonny : up until then , i considered scully a mentor . after that , i wanted to go independent . so i worked myself in a position where he 'd give me his blessings . and i left , and i came here , and i started running the club . mcbain : what happened to joe jr. ? sonny : he 's an embarrassment , but he is scully 's son , so ... scully called in some favors , so joe jr . dropped out of sight somewhere where he would be protected , would n't call attention to himself and would n't cause anymore problems for his father . mcbain : where ? connie : i 'm not safe . he raped me . he got me pregnant . i could n't tell sonny . ewen : it was n't your fault , connie . you were attacked . connie : sonny would 've killed joe jr. and -- and his father would have killed sonny . do you think i want that ? you think i want sonny to die ? [ crying ] do you think i want sonny to look at me and think of joe jr. 's hands all over me ? the only way to save sonny was to let him go . and so i did . i let him . i let the love of my life walk away . oh ! ah , i ca n't do this anymore . ewen : yes , you can . you can tell me all of it . connie : no , i ca n't ! i 'm tired ! i do n't want to do it anymore ! i just -- i just want to s - sleep . ewen : we 're almost finished , connie . just a little more , and you 'll be free , okay ? lulu : we should n't be arguing . let 's go -- we can go get a beer and get a slice , and we can sit on the dock and catch a breeze and -- dante : look , i 'm still trying to figure out how you 're gon na run a nightclub and work at the pcpd . lulu : the nightclub would only be at night . dante : how you gon na book acts and meet with suppliers -- at 3 : 00 a.m. ? lulu : i love working with you at the pcpd , but the evidence room is really dull . i want something more . i -- and then if this takes off , then i could quit my day job . dante : so you 're gon na be quitting your job with me at the pcpd and spending your nights with john zacchara ? johnny : i know what kind of risk you were taking when you decided to take me back and give me a second chance . and i promise i 'm gon na prove you right . carly : you already have . tracy : i know that i 'm letting myself in for a whole lot of heartache ... scams and raids on my bank account , but ... luke can be incredibly sweet and considerate . sometimes he just knows what i need . oh , he has such a wicked sense of humor . [ laughs ] sometimes i laugh so hard , i ca n't breathe . let 's face it . luke spencer knows how to make a girl feel good at the end of a lousy day . luke : are you ready for dessert ? anna : i do n't want any dessert . i 'm full . i 'm stuffed . luke : i 'm talking about something that has no calories . anna : oh , yeah ? luke : try this . anna : oh . seriously ? oh . oh , my gosh . you 're hired . whatever decision you make about tracy ... she could do worse . alice : seems to me that it 's just a matter of time before you and mr. luke are back together again . tracy : [ sighs ] i think you 're right . anna : that was great . that was great . thank you . luke : well , when a friend takes a job that she does n't want , she is n't really prepared for , then the mayor jumps all over her for letting another friend off the hook , i 'm the one who should be thanking you , really . anna : you are . dante : this morning , you could n't wait to sell the haunted star . now you 're centering your life around it . lulu : that 's not what i said . dante : no , you said if it takes off that you can quit your day job . lulu : i 'm not quitting the pcpd today . and this is not about me spending my nights with johnny . dante : well , you sure as hell wo n't be spending them with me . lulu : well , you -- that 's not true . you could come to the club . dante : when am i gon na come -- i got to be up and go to work for 8 : 00 in the morning . lulu : we 'll work that out . dante : you 've already made other decisions , so i guess it 's just left for me to work it out . lulu : it 's my boat . dante : you 've made that abundantly clear . lulu : okay , look , you 're right . i should have consulted you . but i did n't know that i was gon na say yes until i said it . dante : so you surprised even yourself . lulu : you know how much the haunted star means to me . dante : no , you know what ? i guess i did n't , not until right now . lulu : i want to feel good about my job , like you feel good about yours . ca n't you understand that ? look , this is not about us . this is about me . dante : of course not . who cares about us ? lulu : are you ser -- dante . where are you going ? dante , why ? ! what are you do -- [ door slams ] sonny : scully had some people down south who owed him favors . mcbain : down south . sonny : yeah . mcbain : is that anywhere below the mason - dixon line , or can you be a little more specific ? sonny : i do n't know . he was always talking to this guy from new orleans , but that was the last time i heard him mention anything about joe jr . but he -- there was a -- they were talking about a wire transfer to the fleur de lis . mcbain : do you have any idea how many fleur de lis there are in new orleans ? sonny : you know , it could mean something , or it does n't mean something . but that 's the last time i heard him say anything about joe jr . mcbain : you know i 'm gon na check this out . sonny : yeah , you do what you got to do . i 'm sorry about your sister . i really am . she was a ni -- a nice girl . and i wish it would have gone the other way . for all of us . connie : i do n't want to talk about this anymore . i just want to go to sleep . ewen : we 're almost finished . connie : please , just let me go to sleep . ewen : just stay with me for a few more minutes , connie . you 're 17 . you 've been raped by joe scully jr. now you 're pregnant . you 've left sonny on the corner . what happened next ? connie : please , no more . ewen : connie ... what happened to the baby ? | luke tells anna that tracy wants him back and he told her that it is a bad idea because it would give the da motive . she wonders if he would get back together with tracy if anthony were n't missing . he does n't answer . tracy tells alice that she and luke kissed and that she told him she wants him back . alice is excited that luke will be moving back in . tracy tells her that with her current husband missing , she and luke decided that they should keep it discreet . she says she knows she is setting herself up for heartache , but luke has good qualities and he knows how to make a woman feel good after a lousy day . luke and anna have dinner , after which he gives her a massage . she says tracy could do worse and then kisses him . |

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : a divorce ? how is that gon na look to people ? what -- what -- what are we gon na tell them ? alexis : you tell them whatever you want . julian : if you -- if you leave now , how -- how is that gon na look to the police ? you 're practically telling anna devane that she was right all along . alexis : i do n't care . all i care about is how i 'm gon na live with myself , how i 'm gon na look into a mirror and not hate myself for believing you . julian : oh , and my future be damned . is that right ? alexis : you 're not going to prison , julian . you cleaned up after yourself , you got rid of the shirt , you wiped the knife clean . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : you 're gon na get off scot free for what you did to carlos . [ scene_break ] anna : whatever you have to say , can you make it quick and simple ? i have no patience for any psycho babble tonight . [ scene_break ] nathan : i served the warrant on alexis davis ' place . jordan : and ? nathan : and we found a knife -- a dagger , actually . matches the specs from rivera 's wounds . forensics is taking a look at it now . but they think they found a trace of blood between the blade and the handle . so , whoever was cleaning it missed a spot . [ scene_break ] julian : this has been a really difficult day . so , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go check into the metro court and give you some time alone . alexis : when you find a place , i 'll send your things . julian : do n't bother . alexis : fine . junk it , sell it , what ? julian : just keep it here , alexis . i wo n't be gone very long . alexis : do you want the house ? is that it ? julian : no , of course not , alexis . i 'm gon na be back when things cool down , okay ? alexis : i 'll change the locks . julian : well , then i 'm gon na break the door down . look , i am never , ever gon na give you a divorce , you understand that ? you 're my wife , i 'm your husband , and it 's gon na remain that way . now , those vows that we took might not mean a lot to you , but they mean the world to me ! and those words i said -- `` till death do us part `` -- i meant every word . [ next_on ] anna : you should leave right now . andré : not until you hear what i have to say . monica : you need to do it . finn : actually , no , dr. quartermaine , i do n't . valerie ( to curtis ) : what made you think was a good idea to invite dante and lulu ? dante ( to lulu ) : you 're sure you 're up for this ? sonny ( to carly ) : you may not like the answers you find . | sam and jason have found out that nikolas is alive and hiding somewhere although they still have yet to prove it for certain or find him . right then , when ava is flying to a foreign country , to get away from the press and julian 's big mess , she discovers nikolas sitting beside her in the plane . right way , she sees the perfect opportunity knowing he is all alone , faking his death , falsifying his identity and is not as skilled or experienced in the art as she is . when he refuses to talk to her , she `` motivates `` him by taking a selfie of them both , informing him that she could easily send this to the people of port charles , asking him how much they 'd be willing to pay for it . yet she assures him she wo n't do that since two dishonest scam artists need to stick together . she is able to successfully pull off the perfect `` story `` to a man who notices nikolas and assumes he 's an english actor . nikolas can see that ava appears to have pulled off the perfect `` cover `` so that it appears the man suspects nothing . yet , unknown to them , as soon as the man is alone , he gets on his phone to reveal he `` found somebody very important `` and is onto nikolas . nathan and cops find the dagger that julian used to stab carlos to death . alexis does not `` spell it out `` that they are correct that her husband used it as they suspect . yet she does not protest when nathan declares he thinks he 's onto something given the forensic evidence of the murder . alone with his wife , julian tells alexis he knows she must have feelings for him or else she would have given him up . she tells him he may think whatever he wants but they are done . their marriage was based on false pretenses and it 's over for good . yet he does not accept that and believes she will `` come around `` and reconsider in time , although she tells him otherwise . while emma is talking to felicia about wanting her grandma to get out there and meet people and possibly date again after duke is gone , anna goes to inform jordan that she wants `` in `` on the investigation of julian . jordan tells anna , however , she can not let her do it because anna is to `` emotionally involved `` and could ruin the whole thing . andre comes by and tells anna he agrees with jordan . however , when they are together , he tells jordan otherwise . again , she asks him if he 's being honest with his feelings about anna . again , he protests that anna is a former patient and a friend , and she ( jordan ) is the one he 's interested in . he asks her to go out to dinner with him but she tells him she 's busy with work . at that point , alone for the night , he goes to visit anna . |
sam : hey . jason : hey . sam : what is that ? jason : this is the shipping receipt that was on jake 's magic box . sam : elizabeth held on to it ? jason : she did . and i 'm hoping that we can find out who sent jake the chimera . sam : what else is there to know ? the chimera was destroyed , jason . you 're safe . jake is safe . he 's in therapy . you need to let this go . this whole thing needs to be over . [ scene_break ] andré : hey , jake . are you ready for another session of talking ? jake : you bet . elizabeth : and when you guys are finished , jake will be meeting aiden at lila 's kids . andré : ah . sounds like fun . so let 's get started . elizabeth : go on in . um , actually , i want to talk to you for just a second . andré : oh . there a problem ? elizabeth : i 'm worried about jake 's recovery . andré : well , is it something jake said ? elizabeth : no , it 's more like what he has n't said . he 's been acting so normal lately , like nothing terrible ever happened . and i ca n't help but wonder , is this part of helena 's plan ? did she plant something else in my little boy 's mind that 's just waiting to be triggered ? andré : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nathan : so , what 's in the box ? nina : oh , there 's a really great , uh , children 's tailor in london , and i ordered charlotte a dress months ago , and , um ... it just arrived . nathan : i 'm sure she 'll love it . nina : i go back and forth whether i should just have it delivered or drop it off myself . i miss her . i miss charlotte . but she 's getting used to living with her mom now , and i - i do n't ... i 'll just get in the way . [ scene_break ] anna : i wonder if i could speak to you concerning valentin ? lulu : come in . anna : thanks . lulu : please , do n't tell me that he 's out of custody . dante and i have just started making a home here for charlotte , and everything has been going so well . she 's actually at camp right now like a normal kid , and if anything is about to disrupt that -- anna : no . no , valentin is in the netherlands , in a cell , awaiting trial . lulu : dante was right . valentin is gone for good . anna : well , he 's gone . he 's not really forgotten . i mean , that 's why i 'm here . lulu : i do n't understand . anna : well , he asked me before he was extradited if -- if he could record a video for charlotte on my phone . it 's his way of saying goodbye . i promised him that i would show it to his daughter . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , while we have this moment , may i just say how ... sorry i am for your loss ? morgan was a -- was a fine young man . sonny : yeah , he was . spinelli : do n't imagine you 'll let his death go unavenged . sonny : trust me , ava is paying for what she did . [ door closes ] carly : [ gasps ] spinelli ! spinelli : oh ! hey ! carly : hi ! [ laughs ] oh , my gosh ! max did n't tell me you were here ! spinelli : oh , well , i -- unfortunately , i 'm on way out . i [ sighs ] would much rather stay and -- and reconnect with dear friends . [ both laugh ] spinelli : eh ? sonny : yeah . spinelli : uh , but u - unfortunately , duty calls . [ chuckles ] carly : okay . spinelli : duty . carly : bye . spinelli : bye . carly : oh ! how about that , huh ? sonny : yeah , that 's what happens when brick takes another job . carly : oh . well , i love brick , but i love spinelli , too . sonny : yeah , spinelli 's really good and brick 's really good and brick 's fast , and i can understand what brick 's saying . carly : why do n't you just be grateful that you have two geniuses you can count on ? sonny : well , i am very grateful that , uh , you 're here with me , and i did n't know you were coming by . carly : yeah , um ... [ sighs ] i think we need to talk about what happened yesterday . [ scene_break ] nina : i did what you wanted . i had valentin sign the divorce petition . there it is . [ sighs ] they called me and said it was ready . he did n't sign it in front of me . apparently , he signed it , uh , in front of the wsb agents who took him off to the netherlands . [ sighs ] the desk sergeant called me and told me that it was ready . you could 've dropped it off . nathan : you okay ? look , i mean ... regardless of how i feel about valentin , i know the guy loved you . could n't have been easy for him to sign it or you to ask . nina : yeah . he did love me . we were a family . it was really the happiest time of my life . it 's over . i also know there was another part of valentin . i know that , j . there was a part of him that he was trying to outrun , and at the end of the day , he could n't do it anymore . and that 's why he 's going to prison . i know that . [ voice breaking ] so now charlotte 's living with her mother , and i 'm moving on . i 'm moving on without any bitterness or any regrets . maybe one regret . [ scene_break ] lulu : dante and i actually spoke with valentin about arranging a visit with charlotte so that he could reassure her and help make this transition time a little bit easier . but the wsb moved him sooner than we expected , and as it turns out ... the visit was n't really needed . charlotte 's doing great . i do n't want to risk upsetting her by showing her that video . anna : i gave him my word , lulu . lulu : no offense -- is there really such thing as , uh , honor between spies ? does n't lying and double - crossing kind of come with the territory ? [ chuckles ] anna : even among spies , there is an unspoken code of conduct . it 's called being human . and , yes , uh , valentin did make a terrible mistake , but he is still a father who wanted to say goodbye to his daughter . and is n't that in charlotte 's best interest ? lulu : i do n't know if i see it that way . anna : so , let me ask you this . what are you gon na do in the years to come when charlotte asks you why her father did n't say goodbye to her ? what are you gon na say ? [ scene_break ] andré : from my talks with jake , it seems like helena had only one goal in mind for him -- to unleash the chimera . i 've seen no signs of another hidden agenda . elizabeth : there 's just still so much we do n't know about this time on cassadine island . andré : well , i will continue to look for answers . in the meantime , my best advice is to just treat jake like you do cameron and aiden . he 's just a kid on summer vacation . do n't make him feel like he 's under a microscope . elizabeth : okay . and honestly , if i put all my worries aside , he has been a lot happier since the whole chimera thing ended at the nurses ' ball . andré : i think you should trust that . elizabeth : okay . andré : you know , elizabeth , everyone carries around traces of trauma from their past -- not just jake . the important thing for all of us is that we get up each morning . we brush our teeth . life continues . the challenge is to face our traumas , not fear them . [ scene_break ] jason : it , uh , would be convenient to just assume that the threat to jake is over . but we ca n't do that because we do n't know for sure . helena 's dead , but someone was clearly working for her . and i need to find that guy . sam : okay , but why does it have to be you ? why ca n't it be the wsb or the police or anna ? jason : because ... sam : why does it have to be you , jason ? jason : ... they put a weapon in my son 's hand ! i 'm not going to let that go , okay ? not when i 'm not sure that he can come back or somebody else could come back . i ca n't take the chance . i 'm going to find him . i 'm not going to just let it go . what 's going on ? sam : nothing ! i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i 'm tired , scout has been really fussy , and i do n't know , i think i might be coming down with a cold or something . i do n't -- i do n't feel right . jason : okay , well , then , maybe call one of your sisters or your mom , have them watch the baby and go back to the spa . sam : no , no , no , i 'm not -- definitely -- [ sighs ] i 'm not a spa - type of girl . i 'm sorry , jason . i just need some sleep . i 'm tired . jason : okay , well ... why do n't you take a nap and , uh , i 'm going to chase down this receipt . maybe if you feel up to it , we can have lunch at the metro court . does that work ? sam : [ softly ] yeah , of course . jason : okay . sam : [ normal voice ] be careful . jason : i 'm always careful . [ scene_break ] carly : you know , um ... things got , um ... a little emotional last night . sonny : well , yeah , i mean , after all those months of grieving for our son , asking questions , never getting any answers , losing hope that we 're not going to find any peace , much less finding a way back to each other . it 's like the clouds parted when ava confessed . it 's not going to bring morgan back , but ... we have answers and we do n't have to -- we -- we do n't have to believe that we failed our son . carly : no . [ sighs ] sonny : and after everything that -- that ava did , it would n't be the worst thing in the world ... if she died . carly : that would probably be better , but i do n't think that 's going to happen . her condition 's been upgraded -- she 's stable . my mother gave me an update . sonny : yeah ? carly : ava is stabilized . in fact , she 's starting to improve . sonny : [ sighs ] we - we 're going to have to go with the first option , make sure that ava gets , you know ... carly : okay , what if she games the system , okay , just like she did when she killed connie ? what if she never pays ? sonny : she 's going to pay ! trust me ! i promise you . one way or another ! carly : i 'm just sick of talking about ava . i 'm sick of hating her . sonny : well , let 's -- carly : i 'm sick of waiting for justice that never comes . sonny : forget about her now ! i just want to feel ... what i did yesterday , you know ? i 'll be damned if i 'm going to let ava , dead or alive , change that . carly : [ sighs ] oh , god . i ca n't do this ! [ scene_break ] amy : nathan , i 'm so glad you 're here . nathan : not for long . i got to go to work . amy : before you go , i need a favor . nathan : nope , nope , no . if this has anything to do with the ask man landers thing , the answer is i 'm not going to be the face of your advice column . amy : i would n't dream of putting you in that position again if it were n't a matter of life and death . nathan : so , who 's dying ? amy : my book deal . you 're the only one who can save it . [ scene_break ] lulu : it 's time for you to go , anna . please take valentin 's goodbye message with you . the last thing that charlotte needs is a reminder of the father who put her life at risk . anna : i think that 's a little judgmental from you -- someone who has luke as a father , who seemed to put his family in danger all the time . lulu : i do n't understand . what is this ? this -- you 're on valentin 's side now ? anna : no ! i 'm not defending his actions at all . i 'm just saying that when he recorded this video , he was so sincere , he has so much love for that little girl , and i know charlotte loves him , too . lulu : i am not questioning whether valentin loves charlotte or if she loves him , but i am not showing that video to my daughter and traumatizing her . anna : it 's so sweet , though , lulu . lulu : [ sighs ] anna : he just talks about looking at the same star at night , and i do n't know , that wherever he is in the world , he 's always going to be thinking about her . lulu : and that 's all it says ? nothing else ? anna : he promised to come back for charlotte . lulu : i - is that true ? is there a chance that valentin could be free ? [ scene_break ] jason : i can not thank you enough . spinelli : i 'm , of course , gratified to be of service . [ chuckles ] um , what specifically are we -- are we looking for ? jason : [ sighs ] brother , i do n't know even know where to start . jake received a package , presumably from his cousin , but really , it came from somebody connected to helena . and i 've got this ... shipping receipt . i imagine it 's fake . spinelli : but th - that 's an excellent place to start . if you 're going to make a fake receipt , you still want it to look legit , so it might have the correct date and time stamp . jason : according to elizabeth , it 's -- it 's the correct time . spinelli : okay . so we -- we go with 5 : 30 p.m . jason : great . now what ? spinelli : the jackal goes to work ! [ keyboard clacking ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hi . sam : hey . uh , sorry , come in . elizabeth : oh , thanks . is , um , is jason here ? sam : you know , you just missed him . elizabeth : okay , um , i did n't want to text this , so can you just give him a message from me ? sam : i 'm assuming it 's about jake . elizabeth : yeah , he 's with dr. maddox right now . sam : okay . elizabeth : we 're both hopeful that the worst of his emotional damage is behind him . sam : that 's a relief . i 'm sure jason will think so , too . elizabeth : i just wish i felt the physical danger was past us , too . sam : what do you mean by that ? elizabeth : well , i 'm sure jason told you about the shipping receipt . sam : yeah , he did . elizabeth : okay , so , you know that when the magic kit was delivered to my house , we thought it was from spencer , which was totally believable , but it was from someone else , someone who -- sam : no , all i know is that jason is out there looking for this mystery delivery man , and who knows what kind of trouble that 's going to stir up , right ? elizabeth : um ... yeah , we just want to keep jake safe , sam . sam : you 're not safe . you 'll never be safe . elizabeth : so , anyway , i - i went back and forth about letting jake go to lila 's kids with aiden , but he really , really wants to go . and i just wanted jason to have this contact info . [ sam imagines that elizabeth is pointing a gun at her . ] elizabeth : i think it would be good for jake to run and play with all the other kids , and it would n't be fair to keep him in the house all summer . sam : do n't trust her . you ca n't trust her , you know that ! elizabeth : i hope you do n't mind -- i put you down as an additional contact . sam : [ sighs ] what ? elizabeth : jake 's forms for camp ? i put jason down as a contact , and i put you down just in case it was an emergency . i hope that 's not an imposition . sam , you seem ... really preoccupied . are you okay ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : okay , we 're in luck . uh , there 's a security camera in front of the atm at the end of the block and a , uh , another camera in front of the convenience store at the other end of the street . voilà ! jason : you hacked into the security cameras . spinelli : that 's why i 'm here ! and now all we have to do is enter the time and date of the delivery , and we are one step closer to catching our man . jason : okay . [ scene_break ] andré : okay , jake . you know how this works . we 're just going to talk . if at any point you become uncomfortable , you just tell me . okay ? jake : yeah , i know . andré : okay . today , we 're going to start with a word - association game . i throw out something or someone and you say the first thing you associate with it . jake : okay . andré : your dad . jake : motorcycles . my dad likes to ride motorcycles . andré : okay . tell me , jake , what do you think of when you think about your mom ? jake : pizza . andré : really ? why ? jake : well ... you know , mom works so hard at the hospital that sometimes she does n't feel like cooking dinner when we home , so we just order food from gino 's . andré : okay , jake . i want you to tell me what you think of when you think about cassadine island . you know , i 've never been there , but i 've heard a lot about it . so , let me tell you what i think . i think about a little boy a lot like you , only younger . a boy all alone on an island except for someone whispering in his ear . jake : maybe . andré : i think that little boy was frightened . he did n't have his mom . he did n't have his big brother to ask for help . jake : something just like that . andré : i think that little boy ... did n't have anyone to talk to except an old woman ... telling him he was meant to do bad things . it 's a lot , jake , i know , and i 'm sorry . but if you trust me -- if you trust me at all -- i need you to do something for me . i need you to look at me . jake , you are not that little boy alone on that island anymore . okay ? you 're home . you 're safe . you 've got your mom , you 've got your dad , you 've got your big brother , you 've got your little brother , too . hey , you 've got me . you are back where you belong , jake , where your dad can take you for a ride on his motorcycle and you can eat pizza crusts with your mom . you are not a bad guy , jake . you are a good guy . [ scene_break ] carly : josslyn knows what we were doing when she walked in on us . sonny : let me guess -- josslyn does n't want us to get back together . carly : can you blame her ? sonny : well , no . carly : one minute , we 're filing for divorce and we 're at each other 's throat , and the next , we 're kissing . sonny : i do n't blame josslyn for being confused . us getting back together right now is quick . but here 's the thing ... ... after everything that we 've been through , i do n't know about you , but i - it feels right to me . carly : yes , i feel the same way . i feel exactly the same way , sonny . but something josslyn said i ca n't deny -- she said that we keep repeating the same mistake . sonny : i love josslyn , but she 's a teenager . so i - it 's a mistake in her eyes . carly : is it ? sonny : i mean ... carly : look how i hurt you with jax ... ... and then look how you retaliated . do you want to go through that again ? because i know i do n't want to go through that again . sonny : we made bad choices , but out of grief . we can do better , carly . carly : can we do better , sonny ? you can hurt me worse than anyone , and -- and i hurt you the exact same way . and i just do n't ... i do n't want to risk doing that to you again . i - i do n't want to hurt the people i love . sonny : is that really why you 're pulling back ? or are you still ... pissed off about what i did to jax ? carly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anna : valentin is in the netherlands awaiting trial , and the wsb feels confident that they can secure a conviction . nina : right , but the thing is , uh , last summer , when he was shipped off to europe , uh , he had two charges against him -- attempted murder and murder -- and he looked me in the eye , and he said that he would be back . and he was right . they dropped the charges , and he left a free man . so i just was wondering if that could happen again . anna : i - i do n't know . i ca n't speculate . i -- like i said , the bureau seems confident . nina : right , well i know that , um , charlotte will miss him . lulu : speaking of ch - charlotte , i have to go pick her up from day camp . [ keys jingle ] nina : i - i brought this for her . i 'll just leave it here . you can give it to her . lulu : but if you have the time to wait , i think it would mean a lot to charlotte if you gave it to her yourself . give her some more continuity . anna : but what about the goodbye message from her father ? uh , is n't she entitled to that , too ? lulu : i do n't know . [ door closes ] nina : sorry to put you on the spot in front of lulu . sorry about that . um ... it 's no secret how she feels about valentin . anna : or why . nina : it 's just us right now , so ... ... this conversation -- it 'll stay private . i just want to know from you what 's going to happen to valentin ? [ scene_break ] amy : she told me there 's no book deal unless they can meet the man behind ask man landers . they believe that man is you . nathan : see , well , there 's your problem right there because there is no man behind ask man landers , all right ? you got to start taking credit for your own work . amy : absolutely not ! we 're giving people what they want -- a handsome man who knows how to solve every kind of problem . nathan : okay , well , my wife lives like 3,000 miles away , so clearly , i do n't have the answers to all of the problems . and the answer to this one is no . amy : i would n't ask if it were n't really important . nathan : look , you say that the reason that you 're so good at giving advice is 'cause you have all these brothers , right , so why do n't you just ask one of them to be your ask man landers guy ? amy : [ scoffs ] yeah . thanks for nothing . [ scene_break ] anna : i do n't know what 's going to happen to valentin . i - i really do n't . [ sighs ] unfortunately , he is living proof of what happens when the wsb wants ... to tie something off and to just forget about it , you know . the chimera should never have existed in the first place , and the fact that it did means there needs to be somebody to blame . i think they 're going to use ... valentin as a scapegoat . nina : are you okay with that ? anna : i 'm not . but he did steal it . and he did sell it . so his hands are n't clean . nina : neither are your sister 's . anna : no . alex is at least as guilty as valentin . nina : so , how come the wsb is n't scapegoating her ? anna : well , they did . they had her in custody . she got away . nina : how ? anna : i do n't know . nina : you sure ? anna : you think i helped her escape ? no . i hate what she did to valentin . i - i hate the fact that she intruded herself in your lives , i do . and i think that she should stand trial for her involvement . nina : i - it does n't matter . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm divorcing valentin , so it does n't matter . anna : oh . nina : `` oh . `` anna : yeah . nina : you think i 'm a coward ... because i 'm bailing on him ? anna : i do n't know . i ca n't tell you what to think or feel . i - i do n't know . this whole story ... it is not black or white . i mean , this man you knew -- the man you married , charlotte 's father ... ... i think he 's a good man . i think he 's the man he wanted to be ... ... before it all went so horribly wrong . [ scene_break ] carly : what you did to jax was wrong , but if i 'm honest and the positions were reversed , and i poured out my heart to you , and i found out you had just slept with brenda , and i saw a way to have her arrested and then deported -- sonny : you 'd do it . carly : in a heartbeat . sonny : okay . carly : i 'd like to think that i would regret it , but probably not . sonny : thanks for admitting what i already knew -- that we 're exactly alike , which is why we belong together . carly : [ scoffs ] but when things go wrong ... we do n't balance each other out , you know . we just ... we implode , and i do n't want to do that again . sonny : you still want the divorce ? [ scene_break ] sam : yeah , i - i 'm fine , i 'm fine . i might be catching a cold or something . or maybe it 's sleep deprivation . i really do n't have experience with a newborn . this is -- this is like my first experience . elizabeth : i 'm going to go back to the hospital to pick up jake . do you want me to make a doctor 's appointment for you ? sam : no , that 's not necessary . thank you , though , and o - of course , i 'll give jason the info on lila 's kids . and [ chuckles ] yes , you can put me down as a contact . i 'm actually honored . elizabeth : okay , great . thank you . can -- can you have jason call me if he finds anything about who sent that -- that magic kit ? sam : jason 's probably out there looking for nothing . the guy 's probably long gone by now . elizabeth : i hope you 're right . still , just -- just have , uh , just have him call me if he finds anything . sam : [ sighs ] oh , god . okay , sam . [ sighs ] get a grip . you 're okay . nothing a little sleep wo n't cure . [ scene_break ] spinelli : did elizabeth see the truck ? jason : no , the guy delivered the package to the door . spinelli : okay , well , then , maybe there 's no truck . maybe the perpetrator drove a car , parked a few houses down , and walked to her front door . [ keyboard clacking ] spinelli : like this car . i - it passes again at 5 : 35 -- that 's -- that 's 10 minutes . jason : okay . 10 minutes to park , deliver the package at elizabeth 's door , get back to his car , drive off . can you enhance that image ? spinelli : [ laughs ] can luke skywalker bull 's - eye swamp rats ? [ laughs ] he -- he can , so ... jason : okay , there we go . we 've got a uniform , but what about his face ? spinelli : yeah , i ca n't get a clear image of his face , but i might have something just as good . yep , i believe that is his license plate . jason : hmm . well ... i guess it 's a good thing that you 've gone legit . otherwise , you might be forced to hack into the government records , find out who 's registered to those plates and who owns that car . [ scene_break ] lulu : we 're back from camp . i told charlotte that she has a special friend waiting for her . charlotte : nina ! nina : hey . hi , pretty . charlotte : i missed you . nina : i missed you , too ! um , you were at camp ? charlotte : i learned how to make s 'm ores today . nina : s 'm ores ! oh , my goodness . over a campfire ? that 's great . charlotte : is papa back ? are you taking me to see him ? nina : i brought you this . remember when i was telling you about that dress , and you picked the fabric ? [ chuckles ] just rip it open .

justus : well , i mean , since i was n't privy to the conversation , i 'd just be speculating , would n't i ? skye : ok , understood . justus : look , what you heard was ambiguous . it could have been something as simple as alcazar agreeing to an illegal situation in exchange for diego 's freedom or it could have been something completely innocent . i mean , you know the man better than i do . well , was he acting strange ?

ric : yeah , i -- i took your advice . i 've been avoiding all the triggers . no alcohol and avoiding emotionally charged situations , and it seems to have helped . i mean , at least i have n't flown off into a rage in 24 hours . lainey : good . but if you 're truly bi - polar , without treatment , the symptoms will eventually recur . ric : yeah , i guess i 'm just a little worried about the whole thing , that 's all . you know , going to that -- that dark place again , it 's where the pain is so pervasive , you feel like that 's -- that 's all there is . lainey : have you talked to your wife about this ? ric : well , alexis has way too much on her plate right now . i do n't want to talk to her if it 's not absolutely necessary . lainey : well , it already is , ric . you need to confide in someone you can trust , someone who will be willing to help you if you get to a point where you ca n't help yourself . ric : see , you know , what if -- what if this thing is genetic ? i mean , if sonny -- if we 're going through the same highs and lows -- i guess i understand how -- why jason was so important to my brother , because jason was the guy that he went to when sonny could n't help himself . my brother 's been missing his backup in more ways than one . sonny : drink up . helps your electrolytes . emily : what do you know about electrolytes ?

luke : how did you know it was my larcenous little lemon drop who lifted the loot ? robert : anybody who 'd go to the trouble of stealing the money , then getting away clean and giving you a ransom note is really only after one thing -- your attention . justus : i just got some alarming news from skye . jason : let 's hear it . justus : she claims she overheard alcazar telling someone that he would return a favor and personally supervise it himself . jason : it 's got to be about diego . he 's busted on a parole violation . alcazar could 've been cutting a deal to get him released , but not necessarily with someone we know . justus : what does that mean ? jason : the alcazars have high - level government connections . ok ? they 're wired into some covert ops weapons - for - drugs - for - cash syndicate . justus : jason , that could cover a wide base . how long have you known about this ? jason : since lorenzo 's brother , luis , came to town . the guy was committing crimes left and right , kidnapping , attempted murder . but when luis finally had his day in court -- i mean , it 's amazing . a closed envelope was delivered to the judge in the middle of a hearing , and like magic , all the charges were dropped against him . now , lorenzo could be reopening those doors to cut a deal for diego . justus : that means alcazar 's back in business . jason : and if that 's true , it means life around here is about to get a lot more dangerous . sam : jason is my fiance . you are the mother i never knew . who do you think i wanted making decisions for me ? alexis : do you want to hear this from my perspective or not ? sam : go ahead . alex : i was told by noah drake that t surgery that patrick was proposing would more than likely kill you . patrick did n't agree . jason agreed with patrick . we had a window of opportunity to talk about this and see if we could come up with a compromise that one of us could live with . sam : oh , is that -- is that why you went out and got your precious court order -- your burning desire to compromise ? alexis : they took you against my wishes and against hospital policy to perform rogue surgery on your brain . if there had been another d.a . in the office at the time , that bunch would still be in prison right now . sam : you know -- alexis : i moved you to another facility that i believed was safe , where there was unbiased care . sam : oh -- you are so full of it . you -- you moved me because you hate jason and you wanted to throw your weight around and be right -- like always . alexis : i 'm sorry that your opinion of me is so low . and for the record , i do n't hate jason . i happen to like jason . i just hate that he chooses to kill people for a living . i hate the violence that trails in his wake . and most of all , i hate the risk that having him in your life poses for you . sam : you are so transparent it 's not even funny . yeah , you know how to come up with really big words and string them together and make yourself sound reasonable , but i do n't buy your justification . you 're a control freak . you found out you were my mother , you went to the hospital . you 're wasting your time . don't . stop . i love jason . i 'm going to do whatever it tes to get him back , and if you do n't like it , stay out of my life . alexis : bring jason morgan in for questioning . det . rodriguez : what for ? alexis : i 'm sure he 's committed some crime in the last 24 hours . pick one , and let me know when he 's here . det . rodriguez : yes , ma'am . man : alexis davis ? alexis : yes ? man : i have a certified document for your immediate attention . [ door closes ] ric : hey . i have the specs for the new warehouse that you wanted to look over . sonny : i did n't know you were coming by . ric : you called me two hours ago and you said that you wanted to look over the -- the update on the plans . sonny : did i ? i guess i was distracted . my mind 's just -- sonny : i 've been thinking a lot about yesterday , ric . the fight we had because of our mother . ric : i would n't call it a fight . sonny : you would n't call it a fight ? ric : no . well , look -- you -- you did mention our mother 's name out of nowhere a couple of times , but you did n't really finish the thought . any particular reason that our mother 's on your mind ? sonny : i 've been doing a lot of thinking about the past . mistakes i 've made and things i could 've done to change things . you should 've known her . you -- you know , you should 've known our mother . you were as much of a son as i was . ric : well , not quite . sonny : our mother was a paragon , beautiful inside and out , gentle , kind . she died too young , just like lily . ric : they 're linked in your mind somewhere , are n't they ? our mother and lily -- two deaths that you could 've prevented . you must 've put yourself through hell thinking how drastically things could 've been different . how if you had gone right instead of left , they both would 've been alive today . [ sniff ] you know me . dillon : i hate to be the voice of doom here , but i 'm -- i 'm compelled to point out two problems with this scenario . lulu : do you have to ? dillon : yes . i 'm cursed with over - analyzation . now , listen to me . problem one is that that bag over there is filled with newspaper , not cash . that 's going to come back to haunt us in the end . now , problem two , if my mom is the blackmailer , she 's going to hire some goon to show up in her stead . lulu : no , i disagree . tracy likes to be hands - on , especially when it comes to my dad . and edward would show up in person , as well . dillon : all right , fine . let 's say that you were right , and either one of them or both of them or whoever actually does show up , what are you going to do ? you going to pull a citizen 's arrest ? you 're the one who stole the cash in the first place , little miss quick hands . lulu : how are they supposed to prove it , ok ? i 'll threaten to call the cops and accuse the blackmailer of robbing the casino . luke : good plan , cupcake . that 's very good . usually , the best defense is a strong offense . i 'd sanine out of 10 times . unfortunately for you , you 're in that 1 % category , since you are now busted . sonny : i 'm sorry , where were we ? ric : uh -- you ok ? sonny : yeah , i 'm fine . i just needed some air . what 's going on with the warehouse ? ric : something tells me that 's the last thing that 's on your mind , sonny . sonny : ah . ric : hey , you 're -- you mentioned lily before . you -- you want to talk about it ? sonny : i mean , there 's not much to talk about . she was a beautiful person who loved me very much . ric : it was my understanding that it was an arranged marriage . sonny : it was always real for lily , not for me -- not until the end . but for the most part , i was very happy with her . she was the -- the calm place i could go to , as opposed to brenda being the storm . but she balanced me out . emily has that same effect on me . because -- because you can see my mind is kind of racing -- things are kind of -- you know , i ca n't really shut my mind -- ric : yeah . sonny : you know , right now . it 's kind of different , you know ? ric : ok . she means a lot to you , does n't she ? sonny : yeah , yeah , yeah , she means -- emily means everything . she 's like my anchor . if i did n't have her right now , i 'd be -- ric : yeah . does -- does she know ? sonny : maybe -- what 's that ? ric : emily -- i mean , does she know how impoant she is to you ? i mean , because i was thinking that she might like to know . you could tell her without really saying anything . i mean , you buy her something , you know , something like a -- i do n't know , a pretty dress or something like that . sonny : i 'd love to . ric : yeah ? sonny : yeah . what time -- ric : what ? sonny : oh , i got to meet the landscaper -- ric : what 's the matter ? sonny : for some modifications . ric : sonny , i -- i can meet with him if you want , or , you know , you can send max and milo to go -- sonny : who knows what they 'd pick out ? i 'd -- listen , i got to -- i got to meet today . i 'm -- i 'm planning a rose garden for emily , a reproduction of her favorite part of lila 's . ric : mm - hmm . sonny : are you busy ? ric : no , no , no . sonny : i hate to ask you this , but can you -- is there any way you can go pick up something ? i -- i trust that you 'd pick out something beautiful for emily , right ? jason : i 'm not saying anything without my attorney . alexis : i did n't bring you here to discuss your latest criminal undertakings . jason , sam moved out and i 'm worried about her . diego : when they told me i had a visitor , i was actually expecting my father . skye : yeah , well , surprise . diego : why are you here , skye ? skye : i 'm concerned about you , diego . i am . i 'm also worried about lorenzo . lorenzo : skye . you should n't be here . it 's not good for you or the baby . skye : are you here to visit your son , or have you found a way to get him released ? alexis : i should 've been honest with sam about the arguments that you and i had over her treatment . i should 've been honest with her about everything , and i was n't because i suppose i was trying to avoid this outcome . she is blaming me for the breakup , rightly or wrongly . she is increasing her efforts . she 's gearing up to try to get you back . and i hope with all my heart , jason , that you will continue to protect her by staying away from her . robert : nice job . thorough . luke : i 'll take the real money now . [ luke snaps his fingers ] dillon : ok , how 'd you know it was lulu and why 'd you take so long to do something about it ? robert : well , speaking for myself , i like an inquiring mind . i knew almost straight away that lucas here had staged his own robbery . then lulu disappears during police questioning , so i figured something really had to be up . all of a sudden , a ransom note turns up , so i got to understand that lulu here has intercepted the money . why daddy over here did n't figure that out right away is beyond me . approaching alzheimer 's , perhaps . luke : i knew soon enough . dillon : oh , yeah , but why did you wait ? luke : well , i wanted to give my daughter time to run her scam . that 's the only way you learn . see , your big mistake was not pocketing the money . as soon as you sent that ransom note , you gave yourself away . lulu : hmm . whatever was i thinking ? next time , i 'll be sure to do better . luke : good , i hope you do . dillon : go ahead . luke : well , you know , all in all , not a bad effort on her part . i mean , her approach was a little clumsy in the end , but her instincts are really good . i think that it was a very fine first effort . robert : for one of the smartest guys i know , there are times you can be just such a bloody idiot . skye : unless there was a mistake and in fact diego did not violate his parole , i do n't see how you can stop him from going back to prison . lorenzo : i do n't want you worrying about this . skye : then tell me what 's going on . lorenzo : i will , but not here . go home and wait for me there . i 'll tell you then . skye : all right . but you better keep your word . diego : hey , look , i would also like to know what 's going on . lorenzo : sit tight . i 'm assuming we 're done here ? d.a . davis should have dropped all the chges against my son by now . alexis : i guess what i 'm asking is that you continue to be honestith sam , and that you remind her that you made the decision to leave , not me , jason . because that 's the truth . and maybe when she 's calmed down enough , she 'll understand that i 'm not responsible for you leaving . [ jason sighs ] alexis : i know that you must agree that that 's best for her . jason : why is diego being released ? alexis : did you hear a single word that i said ? jason : what happens between me and sam never had anything to do with you and it never will . so unless you 're going to arrest me , i 'm out of here . det . rodriguez : alcazar says we 're releasing his son . alexis : that 's right . the charges against diego have been dropped . he 's free to go . ric : hey . sonny : why 'd you come in that way ? ric : well , i just decided to go through the garden and -- and see what you 've done so far . it looks good . not bad . i hope -- here it is , i hope it helps . sonny : oh , yeah . thanks . i appreciate that , that 's great . ric : yeah , i 'm willing to do anything i can to help you out , sonny , you know ? i do value our budding connection . you know , you and i were separated for so long -- first by our parents ' choices , and then by , you know , anger and misunderstanding . you know , through it all , i 've always felt closest to you . you know , like first family , like real family , family that you 're -- you know you 're born into , not the family that you make . sonny , the way you and i think and what drives us is -- it 's really not that much different . and the biggest thing that i want you to know , what matters to me more than anything in the entire world , is that -- is that you can finally trust me . i mean , i know that it 's going to be a -- it 's going to be a tough journey . but once we establish trust , anything 's possible . you got ta try honey bunches of oats . dillon : you move fast . lulu : you did n't have to come after me . dillon : would you stop ? can i buy you a sundae , cookies , coke ? lulu : i 'm not 6 years old . sundaes , cookies , and coke are not going to make me feel better . dillon : ok , well , what will ? lulu : i do n't know -- maybe a brain in my stupid head ? i mean , i can come up with the biggest scam in the world or win the nobel peace prize . it does n't matter . dillon : lulu -- lulu : unless my life is at stake , my dad does n't give a damn about me . dillon : lulu , your dad does give a damn about you , and you know that . underneath all the hurt , you know that . his way of expressing himself , yeah , it leaves a lot to be desired , but that 's how he is . lulu : so you 're saying that i need to make the adjustment ? dillon : something tells me if you want luke in your life , yeah . lulu : well , at least i 've gotten to know him through this process , which has been very frustrating , and along the way , i 've gotten to know you , which is a plus . dillon : back at you . lainey : hmm . justus : you look , uh -- lainey : frustrated ? justus : exactly . can i help ? lainey : maybe , if we tread carefully around doctor / patient confidentiality . justus : let 's give it a shot . lainey : how well do you know sonny ? justus : i consider him a friend . why ? lainey : have you seen evidence of mental instability ? justus : i think -- i think sonny has his episodes . now , how often they happen or what brings them on , i could n't tell you , sweetheart . emily : how was your day ? sonny : oh , it was great -- very productive . i -- i got a -- emily : yeah ? sonny : surprise for you -- actually , two . emily : oh , yeah ? sonny : yeahyeah . emily : well , what -- do i get any hints ? sonny : uh -- the first one you wear , the second one has to be seen . come here , take it . emily : i 'm intrigued now . sonny : ok . emily : ok . um -- a dress ? sonny : open it . hurry up , open it . emily : no , you know what ? i 've got a better idea . why do n't i go upstairs and i 'll model it for you ? sonny : i got a better idea . why do n't you -- why do n't you go upstairs , ok , and put it on , right ? emily : mm - hmm . sonny : and then by the time you get down , i 'll have the second surprise ready , all right ? is that good ? emily : yeah . you 're feeling better , are n't you ? sonny : i 'm always feeling better when i see you . well , go ahead , go up there . emily : all right , i 'll be right back . diego : why did n't you tell me that our family had a get - out - of - jail - free card ? lorenzo : it is hardly free . in fact , it comes at a very high price . i was out of the business , diego . i had changed my life , and now i have to go back . your freedom cost me my second chance . diego : wait -- lorenzo : remember that . diego : wait , my freedom , my -- i never asked you -- i never asked you to give up anything to save me . lorenzo : right . it was my choice because i 'm your father and you 're my responsibility . i 'm just asking that you not waste that sacrifice . diego : yeah , well , i 'm asking you to tell me what you 've agreed to do . why do n't you try that for a change ? lorenzo : the alcazars are afforded special privileges in exchange for handling transactions for a highly secretive government operation . diego : `` handling `` how , dad ? how ? lorenzo : diego , we sell weapons , and we make sure they get in the hands of the right people , and that is extremely dangerous work . the only way that i could secure your freedom was to agree to handle the transactions personally . now i have to move the product through port charles , which is going to cause friction , possibly all - out war , with jason morgan . manny : i want you to set up a meeting with jason morgan at this warehouse . man : i thought you wanted to stay under the radar . manny : you 're not going to tell him he 's meeting with me . man : then who ? manny : lorenzo alcazar . lainey : do you know what does n't track about you ? i mean , you 're superstitious , and yet you work for a mobster . i mean , do n't you feel like you 're pushing the odds ? justus : i mean , you know , that 's -- that 's the perverse side of my personality , the side of me that 's compelled and attracted to the things i fear the most . lainey : wow . i could have a field day with you on my couch . justus : what 's stopping you ? lainey : that is not what i meant . ok , for example , how did you come by this aversion to the number 29 ? justus : that 's -- that 's the day my father disappeared , june 29 . it 's also the day we found out he was murdered on that day . huh . and then in high school , i drew number 29 on my soccer jersey and promptly broke my ankle while running on the field . i failed one test in my entire life , laineymarch 29 , and the li goes on -- lainey : ooh . justus : and on and on and on . lainey : oh , wow . ok , so if -- if you check into a hotel room , right , and you get the room 29 , you 're going to ask for another room ? justus : most definitely . i 'd be out of there in a heartbeat . lainey : even if i 'm inside waiting for you ? justus : well , it is only a superstition , now , is n't it , huh ? sam : hey , you here for lunch or did you find out i moved back in ? jason : yeah , i knew about it . you want to tell me what happened ? sam : yeah , i could n't stay with alexis once i realized how she played on your guilt to convince you to break up with me . jason : sam , i broke up with you for my own reasons . alexis had nothing to do with it . and even though she was wrong , she was trying to protect you . sam : what , so now you 're trying to defend my mother ? alexis : when you were d.a . , did you ever get any mysterious visits from government operatives informing you that lorenzo alcazar was more or less above the law ? ric : no . but clearly you just did . alexis : it certainly explains why the late , unlamented luis walked away clean from multiple felonies . apparently , the alcazars are useful to some very powerful people . ric : you know what ? for both of our sakes , do yourself a favor here -- do n't pursue this . it 's just going to frustrate you and you 'll potentially wind up with some fairly deadly enemies . alexis : if diego 's charges were more serious , i would pursue this and damn the consequences . ric : well , then i 'm thankful that diego 's offense was rather minor . so , conspiracy theories aside , i 'd love to take you to lunch while i still can . alexis : what does that mean ? ric : i think sonny 's going to need my undivided attention very soon . sonny : hurry up , will you ? i 'm ready to show you the rest of your surprise . emily : have a little patience . [ sonny laughs ] emily : cover your eyes . i want to make a good impression . sonny : ah ! oh ! emily : hey . what do you think ? [ emily chuckles ] sonny : take that off now ! stay tuned for scenes from the next `` general hospital . `` [ next_on ] nikolas : my son comes home today . jax : i ca n't quite believe that this is ending . emily : what 's wrong ? i love this dress . sonny : you got to take it off ! emily : what ? sonny -- no ! sonny : take it off ! jason : one day you 'll look back and be glad i did this . sam : what are you going to do if i find someone else ? | sonny refers to emily as `` lily . `` a manipulative ric steps up his plan to drive sonny over the edge . jason is concerned for sam 's safety . sam moves into kelly 's after condemning alexis for her previous actions . lulu and dillon are no match for luke and robert . after fighting , luke explains to robert why he treats lulu the way he does . |
georgie : ah . good morning -- or is it afternoon yet ? maxie : did mac ask about me last night ? georgie : lucky for you , he pulled an all - nighter , so i did n't have to cover for you . maxie : but you would have , and that i appreciate . georgie : you know , maxie , why do i feel like i was born covering for you ? maxie : georgie , you are a great sister . georgie : well , even great sisters have limits , and i 'm reaching mine . mike : order ready for table seven -- hey . here you go , i 'll take that . georgie : thanks , mike . maxie : so i definitely need to do some sisterly damage control .

[ scene_break ] maxie : oh -- yeah , right . if lulu moves in , i 'm spending every single night in here . coop : well , i wo n't complain , but you have no reason to worry about lulu . [ scene_break ] logan : so , is this a day that you 're speaking with me or not ? lulu : that depends . are you going to tell me what scott baldwin did to your family ? [ scene_break ] carly : you know what ? i 'm beginning to think that i married the perfect man -- handsome , so handsome , savvy , savvy businessman , and so good in bed . jax : but can he barbecue ? carly : huh ? jax : what , you do n't think i can ? carly : i just ca n't picture you in an apron and a mitt . jax : really ? well , start picturing . carly : are you serious ? jax : does it look like i 'm kidding ? carly : you do n't have to do that . jax : no , no , no , no , this is -- this is my first father 's day with michael and morgan , and i want to be , you know , the -- the best barbecuer i can possibly -- carly : sonny 's , um , having a barbecue . jax : oh . well , you know , then the boys will have two delicious meals -- assuming , of course , sonny 's , you know , is as good as mine . carly : please do n't tell me there 's going to be a barbecue war ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're a father ; you need to do what 's right for your son . jason : i 'm under arrest for murder . jake deserves better , he 's better off with them , sonny . sonny : `` better off with them `` ? you 'd rather your son grow up living a lie ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it does n't seem fair that i get to go spend a gorgeous summer afternoon in the park with my boys while other people are locked up inside . lucky : hey , the point is to enjoy yourself , not feel guilty about it . elizabeth : i 'm not sure i can . [ scene_break ] sam : jason and i have been drifting apart for months -- and do n't even say that i would be better off without him . amelia : no , jason fathered elizabeth 's child . it 's tearing you apart . [ sam sighs ] sam : you 're right . you know , you 're right , and i ca n't keep obsessing over jason 's son , i 've got to do something about it . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'm -- i 'm sorry , but it 's -- it 's just that you continue to ignore the fact that jerry could tear your life apart at any time he chooses . emily : okay . so your solution is to go after him ? nikolas : it could take away his leverage . emily : even though jerry 's warned us that if he dies , evidence linking me to espionage is going to be sent to the state department ? nikolas : yes , which is why i asked alexis to find a way , any way , to prove you 're innocent . emily : alexis does n't need to get involved as long as you leave jerry alone . nikolas : i 'm sorry , i just -- i ca n't -- i ca n't stand by like some helpless victim while he calls the shots . i ca n't do it . emily : nikolas , my father died because of jerry . i do n't want any more trouble . nikolas : so you would -- you would rather continue to be a hostage , knowing that at any moment you could be charged with espionage ? you 'd rather do that ? emily : if it means keeping you safe , yes . nikolas : i -- emily , i can take care of myself . emily : jerry 's a murderer , okay ? i do n't want him killing you because you feel some need to rescue me . [ scene_break ] lulu : so , were you making it up when you said scott messed with your family ? logan : that was -- that was true . baldwin came through town several years back . he came off like some kind of hotshot businessman . you know , people bought into it , and then he just bailed . lulu : hmm . real nice guy , huh ? logan : my family took the brunt of it . lulu : why did n't you tell me this before ? logan : i do n't know . it 's an army thing , i guess -- never show your weakness . anyway , baldwin did n't recognize me . i was n't going to advertise that i 'm from a family of gullible hicks . and that look in your eye right there -- that 's -- that 's why i did n't say anything to you . lulu : no , that -- that 's not what i 'm thinking . if scott swindled your family , why do n't you press charges ? logan : oh -- that 'll work . look what just happened when baldwin went to court to get your mom . there are better ways to get revenge . [ scene_break ] coop : hey , something bigger than usual is going on between you and lulu . maxie : no . coop : or is it logan i should be jealous of ? maxie : oh , come on . i was just thinking that those two deserve each other . coop : no . no . lulu can act all tough , but logan 's way too wild for her . maxie : please do not become one of lulu 's legions of defenders . coop : no way -- i already got my hands full with you .

[ scene_break ] jason : elizabeth and lucky are a family . sonny : yeah . so what ? you 're a great father , you proved that with michael . i mean , you took care of him for a year . you ca n't just give jake up just like that . jason : it 's a complicated situation . sonny : no , it is simple . you have a child . no one has the right to take that child away from you ! jason : elizabeth said she would always be afraid if the baby was with me , and you know what ? she 's right . because i ca n't say with complete confidence that violence will never touch this kid . sonny : i know you . you 'll do everything in your power to make sure that -- jason : is there a guarantee ? there is no guarantee -- you 've seen that with michael . i do n't -- i do n't want my child in constant danger . i do n't want my child 's mother living in constant fear . i 've thought about this every hour of ever day since she told me ! i want the best possible life for my son , and the only way to do that is to give him up ! [ scene_break ] elizabeth : sometimes i ca n't believe how everything worked out . i mean , we 're married , we have two beautiful , healthy little boys -- how did we get to be so blessed ? and when i look at jake , i -- i think of how easily he could 've died at the metro court or when he was born -- and how -- how absolutely empty my entire life would be without him . lucky : jake is fine , elizabeth . elizabeth : i know , i know , and -- and that is -- that is exactly why i went to go see jason -- because jake is fine . and he 's loved and he 's happy and he fills up both of our lives , and jason had so much to do with that . and i know it compromises you when i go to see him . ric practically just rubbed it in my face that i was making you look bad , and yes , maybe -- maybe i should 've left the station , but i just -- i wanted to do something for jason . i wanted to thank him somehow . he 's locked up in a cell ready to go to prison , and his so- called best friends -- sonny and carly and his tv star girlfriend -- they 're nowhere to be found . but even -- even if they were , jake is alive because of jason and i ca n't ignore that . and now i 'm going to go sit at the park , i 'm going to go enjoy my -- my children while jason 's locked up in his cell ? it just makes me sad that he might never get a chance to take his own boys to the park . and it makes me sad that somebody who has given me so much winds up with nothing . [ elizabeth sighs ] lucky : elizabeth ? elizabeth : sorry . lucky : no , just forget about it , okay ? elizabeth : oh lucky : you do n't have to apologize . elizabeth : it 's just hormones . i mean , my god , i cried at a cereal commercial this morning because the baby looked like jake . lucky : are you sure you 're okay ? elizabeth : i 'm fine . i 'm perfectly fine . i 'm just going to finish what i 'm doing here , i 'm going to go pick up the boys , going to go to the park , and then i 'll be home later tonight , okay ? lucky : okay . elizabeth : i 'm really sorry if this thing with jason caused trouble for you at the station . lucky : no , you know what ? just forget about it . hey -- have fun at the park , okay ? elizabeth : thanks . okay . lucky : ahem . elizabeth : oh -- whew . [ scene_break ] amelia : there 's nothing that you can do about jason being jake spencer 's real father . sam : no -- i could confront jason -- or elizabeth , or how about lucky , huh ? amelia : well , depends on what you want to accomplish . sam : what i want is n't possible , amelia . i want to have jason 's child . amelia : look , did n't jason say that he would be happy even if the two of you never had a child ? sam : oh , no , you -- you do n't understand . you have n't seen the look in his eyes when he looks at jake . he is special to him . there is nothing i can offer that comes close . amelia : look -- look , his life is with you , not elizabeth . sam : yes , but she 's such a good mother to jason 's son . amelia : maybe you should just tell the truth , just get everything out in the open . you could always try to persuade jason to go for shared custody . sam : there 's no way . jason would n't go for it . elizabeth is not going to allow it , so he 's not going to fight her on it . even if lucky leaves her , telling the truth gets me nowhere . so unless jason comes clean -- [ sam sighs ] sam : i have to keep things the way they are . amelia : can you live with that ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : i told you -- i told you that jerry would drag you deeper into this , but you -- you went to manhattan anyway . emily : jerry was poisoning you , nikolas . he said he was going to let you die if i did n't go to the bank with him . nikolas : but you -- but , emily , you signed your name over to bank accounts that are linked to espionage . emily : i was trying to save your life ! nikolas : no , i know -- i know that , but now your life is hanging in the balance and we 're his puppets all over again , you see ? emily : no , no , no . nikolas , you 're using all of this as an excuse to go after him , but you know that violence only breeds more violence . nikolas : that 's the only language that he knows . emily : nikolas , please . there is peace right now , okay ? nikolas : what ? emily : everybody is balanced in this fragile little state of truce . nikolas : right -- until he comes back and blows up another hotel . emily : no , no , no , jerry 's looking for a way out of this . he wants to end this , he wants to stay alive . nikolas : no , there 's -- emily : i 'm the only insurance he has to make sure that happens . nikolas : there are too many people that he 's hurt that i care about , and i want some justice for that . emily : you want revenge . nikolas : yes . you 're damn right i do . [ scene_break ] spinelli : blond one ! lulu : why 'd you slam that shut ? spinelli : hmm . i was jackaling information for stone cold 's eyes only . lulu : aha . since when do n't you trust me ? spinelli : since the blond one 's brother arrested stone cold . lulu : ric lansing is the one who got the warrant . spinelli : look , your first loyalty is to your brother , a minion of law enforcement , and my first loyalty is to stone cold -- lulu : the suspected murderer ? spinelli : look -- okay , see , there you have it . see , we are -- we are from two different houses , okay ? the montagues and the capulets , the colonials and the cylons -- lulu : what are you talking about ? spinelli : we 're star - crossed lovers -- friends , and , you know , we 're separated by the hand of fate . that 's just how it is . lulu : okay . i consider jason a friend , too , and i promise that i would not reveal any information that could potentially get him convicted . spinelli : promise ? lulu : i promise . spinelli : okay . all right , look , i -- i hacked into the pcpd records , and i uncovered the evidence they have against stone cold . lulu : and ? spinelli : um -- they uncovered a recording of darth alcazar 's final moments , and it seems that he -- that he said jason 's name , and then you heard a gunshot . um -- and then , of course , evil al disappeared , so the dastardly d.a . is assuming that stone cold disposed of the body . [ scene_break ] sonny : what about shared custody ? it 's worked for me and carly . jason : carly is n't afraid of how you live , she 's not afraid of the uncertainty . elizabeth ca n't handle that . sonny : well , that 's her problem , not yours . lucky -- you know , he 's a decent guy , i got nothing against him , but why should jake be his child instead of yours ? you 're only doing this because elizabeth asked you to . [ scene_break ] carly : sonny ? hey , sonny -- what are you doing here ? kate : sonny and i are neighbors ? carly : oh , so that gives you the right to wander around any time you please ? kate : well , actually , i came to thank him -- for helping me after i bumped my head on that hideous statue you purchased . carly : do n't you think you 're a little old for the damsel in distress routine ? kate : wow . it just infuriates you that sonny was kind to me , does n't it ? carly : if sonny wants to hang around with you , that 's his problem . kate : hmm . your jealousy , while totally unfounded , is a little disconcerting , considering you 're supposed to be happily married to jax ? [ scene_break ] jax : hi . alexis : your brother coerced emily into , essentially , what is an act of treason . jax : and i gather you 're looking for ways to legally extricate her ? alexis : right . and yet there 's another avenue that we need to pursue . jax : right -- finding jerry . alexis : correct . jax : you think i know where he is . alexis : i think that you do n't want to betray your family . i also think that you need to do what 's right . you 're my friend , and i need to be able to trust you . jax : the last time i saw jerry , he was in his hotel room . we had an argument , i basically wrote him off . the next thing i knew , the window in his room was broken , either because he escaped or because somebody put him through it . alexis : do you think that he 's still alive ? jax : the evidence against emily has n't been turned over to the authorities , so i 'm assuming that jerry 's still alive , yes . where he is or how to find him , i ca n't help you . alexis : you need to use everything at your disposal to find him , because i want you to find him before nikolas does . [ scene_break ] emily : i do n't need you trying to save me ; i can live with things the way they are . nikolas : yeah ? well , i ca n't . emily : nikolas , nothing has gone the way jerry planned , okay ? now he 's just trying to stay alive -- this whole thing against me could even be a bluff . nikolas : what ? emily , the man shot robin just to keep us all in line , he -- he hurts people for fun and amusement . emily : yeah , but , see , it 's different now -- jerry 's reconnected with his family . jax has a wife , he has stepchildren , their mother 's been visiting . nikolas : so what ? emily : so jerry is in the worst mess of his life , and he does n't want it hurting his mother and his brother . nikolas : so -- so you 're telling me that -- that you think jerry has somehow miraculously rediscovered his humanity , is that it ? emily : no , i 'm telling you that i think there 's a possibility that he could love his brother enough to keep the peace . nikolas : well , i do n't believe that , and deep down , i do n't think jax does , either . [ scene_break ] kate : how does your husband feel about you constantly finding excuses to be with sonny ? carly : okay , first of all , jax and i are happy and completely committed to each other . kate : oh , my mistake . carly : second of all -- and this may be difficult for you to grasp , being a child - hater -- most people who are divorced and share children see a lot of each other . kate : thanks for explaining . carly : you 're welcome . you can leave now . [ kate chuckles ] kate : see ? there 's that jealousy again . why are you so threatened ? carly : i 'm not . kate : okay , so that would explain why you went to the trouble to buy that hideous statue to replace the piece of art that sonny had destroyed ? oh . oh -- unless you do n't know the difference between a masterpiece and a tacky piece of trash ? carly : i knew it was ugly , and i thought you deserved it -- for ignoring sonny 's injunction of flying your helicopter over the house . kate : okay , and exactly how is this your concern ? carly : they 're my family . kate : i thought jax was your family . does he even know you 're here ? carly : yes , he does , and he trusts me completely . kate : hmm . and how does he feel about how worked up you get about sonny ? carly : i got worked up because you insulted my kids , and you insinuated that they were juvenile delinquents . kate : no , see , i just simply want your boys to honor the property lines . carly : why do n't you get the hell out instead ? [ scene_break ] jason : of course i want my son with me , but it 's not about me at this point . sonny , i am handling this the best way i know how to handle it . sonny : what about sam ? you said she knows about jake . are you willing to stay with her so she 'll keep the secret ? okay , you know what ? all i 'm saying is i 'm not sure sam is the person you think she is .

[ scene_break ] [ jake fusses ] sam : i never knew you liked babies . spinelli : actually , the -- the jackal 's never held one before , but it -- it 's nice . sam : yeah , that -- that is nice . jake seems to have this effect on everyone . i think it 's because he gets so much love and attention , i 've never see anything like it -- you and you , his parents , and jason and -- he 's great , he 's great . elizabeth : yeah , he is . sam : well , what 's it like having two kids ? i -- i heard it 's kind of like one plus one equals three or 10 or -- elizabeth : yeah , it 's -- it 's kind of like that . it is a lot of work , but he 's -- he 's a really great baby , he 's very calm . sam : where do you think he gets that from ? elizabeth : me . although , lucky will try to take credit for it . sam : uh -- i 've got to go . i 'm going to actually go get a smoothie and enjoy my walk in the park , and you guys have a nice day , okay ? spinelli : see you . sam : bye . lulu : bye . spinelli : oh , yeah ? elizabeth : spinelli , um -- spinelli : yeah ? elizabeth : you live with jason and sam . does sam ever talk about wanting a baby ? spinelli : oh , actually -- lulu : okay ? spinelli : you got -- okay . uh -- yeah , actually , the fair samantha would like one , but stone cold 's opposed , so -- elizabeth : oh . that 's too bad . spinelli : yeah , the jackal agree most heartily . i think stone cold would make an awesome dad . lulu : um -- uh , actually , we -- we need to go , um , to the library -- because of this summer project . spinelli : the blond one has a summer project ? lulu : at p.c.u . , remember ? spinelli : oh -- she 's got a summer project . elizabeth : okay , well , have fun . cameron , say goodbye to auntie lulu . lulu : bye ! elizabeth : bye !

[ ethan chuckles ] [ scene_break ] carly : i hate that michael was the one who hit bryce , because he could go to jail for violating his parole . but the kid deserved to be hit for what he said to kristina . and if i were standing there , i would have hit him myself . molly : yeah , mom , and do n't you always say you have to stand up for what 's right ? alexis : with your words and with your intellect . i do n't blame michael . he does n't know any different . sonny : all michael did was punch a bad kid who was bullying him . our daughter went to a foreign country to get married . what do you say about that ? sam : wait a minute , hold on a second here , please . i think what you are all forgetting is that michael and kristina are adults now . yes , they are very young adults , for sure , but part of graduation is n't just about receiving your diploma . it 's a rite of passage . they get to run their own life now . alexis : sam , they 're 18 , and they do n't behave -- sam : yes , i understand , but if michael wants to punch somebody in the face and either go to jail or get in trouble for it and not get his diploma , then that 's on michael . he 's going to have to deal with the consequences . and if kristina wants to run off to a foreign country and get her heart broken , it 's on kristina and she 's going to have to learn how to deal with that . you have all done a really good job raising these kids . they 're great kids . now you just got ta start to let them go . michael : hey . molly : michael ! i am so glad you 're here ! it could n't be a real party without you . michael : oh , thanks , molly . hey , morgan . carly : i was so worried about you . i 'm so glad you 're ok . ohh . molly : i just have to say , michael , that it 's not right to solve your problems through violence . but , way to go hammering that slug bryce . sonny : where 's kristina ? michael : oh , i do n't know , i thought she was here . morgan : no , she went looking for you . kristina : hey ! i thought you might be at kelly 's . i wanted to thank you for sticking up for me . michael : look , kristina , i was just as big a jerk as bryce . i should n't have gone off and went after him like that . i should n't have done that . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry if i ruined your graduation . kristina : you could n't ruin it . i know that you only came because i asked you to . sonny : kristina , can you explain to me how you went looking for michael and you brought back ... him ? alexis : you know what , this is supposed to be a party . so let 's start by saying something nice about our graduates . i 'll start with my daughter , my beautiful daughter who may drive me to an early grave . but being her mother and sam 's and molly 's is the crowning achievement of my life . and i do love you all . so happy graduation , honey . kristina : thanks , mom . sam : nice job . carly : well , i want to say something to michael . i am ... so proud of you . i 'm proud of your courage and your resilience . and i really could n't admire or respect you more . congratulations . i love you . michael : i love you . sonny : all right , i guess it 's my turn . your mom pretty much already said everything . i 'm really impressed with both of you kids . and i 'm very proud to be your dad . sam : well , to kristina and michael ... molly : hear , hear . sam : hear , hear . [ scene_break ] max : diane . diane : hmm ? max : you have to apologize to mrs. c . diane : over my dead body . and trust me , you 'd be very sorry to see that go . max : that may happen anyway if you do n't agree to handle this adoption . diane : as quiet as i might keep it , i actually do have some principles . max : of course you do . i -- diane : look . do you remember the night that michael got shot ? and you and i took our relationship to the physical level for the first time ? max : oh , yeah , i remember . that was here . i was as drunk as a skunk , but -- diane : and i was awash in remorse at my part in having kept michael so close to sonny , exposing him to danger . max : you ca n't blame yourself for that diane : of course i can . you bet i can . sonny is an irritating , but lucrative , client . and i will turn my head and look the other way to do just about anything for sonny . but , max , i got ta draw the line somewhere . and i can not , in good conscience , look at sonny and say , well , this is a safe haven for children . the ones he already has i ca n't do anything about , but -- brenda , i have no animosity towards you personally . you got ta believe me . in fact , i will even agree to arrange for you another family attorney . if you still want to insist and pursue sonny adopting your son . brenda : well , thank you . you 've actually given me many things to discuss with sonny . [ scene_break ] dante : i got ta hand it to michael , it was a pretty bold move getting involved with you . abby : why me ? dante : not you in particular . i mean , get involved with anybody . he does n't have the best role models . abby : talking about sonny and carly ? dante : carly and jax . they all fight like cats and dogs . and then you have a front row seat to watch me and lulu in our ups and downs that we were grappling with , which were all my fault . believe it or not , i can be kind of a jerk sometimes . but luckily lulu 's a forgiving soul and i 'm not too much of a grovel . she likes that quality in me . abby : that 's good to know . bodes well for me if michael learns to grovel . it could come in handy . [ knock on door ] michael : hey . abby : i 'm so glad you 're here ! god , i did n't know what happened to you . michael : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to leave you hanging . i 'm sorry . dante : there , see ? i taught him everything he knows . michael : i 'm guessing you 're here because bryce is pressing charges ? dante : no , bryce is n't pressing charges . everyone pretty much agrees that bryce is a bit of an idiot . i , uh , came to give you your graduation present . michael : what is this ? it says my parole 's been completed . how 'd you do this ? dante : you did it , bro . you turned your life around . i 'm just proud i got to witness it . congratulations , bro . way to go . michael : thanks , man . [ scene_break ] max : i love diane , but she can be so damn stubborn . i 'm telling you , she 's going to get herself fired this time for good . milo : maybe you 're overreacting . max : are you kidding me ? no , she 's gone . and when she goes to work for someone else , i 'm going to see her even less . and what if she gives up law altogether , moves to hollywood , becomes a screenwriter ? that book of hers and spinelli 's is racking up sales ! milo : you got ta relax . you 're going to tweak your back . max : boss . i did n't expect you back so early . sonny : you know what , i 'm in too good of a mood after celebrating with my kids . i 'm not even going to ask what you fools are up to . max : ok . here it goes . brenda : mmm ! sonny : what 's going on ? brenda : hi . sonny : hey . brenda : how was the graduation ? sonny : it was absolutely -- it was good , it was good . can we sit down for a second ? brenda : see ? sonny : i do n't even want to get into that . i understand why you want to stay away from carly . but she was actually all right . brenda : good . sonny : yeah . so , um , anything happen while i was gone ? brenda : diane came by , mostly to flirt with max in our home . so anyway , you know what , actually , i do n't even want to talk about that right now . will you tell me all about the graduation ? how were the kids ? max : brenda did n't give her up . milo : this time . [ scene_break ] kristina : for a day that almost turned into a total disaster , graduation turned out to be even better than i hoped for . ethan : even with michael punching that guy out ? kristina : michael would n't have lost it if it had n't been for me . it was all because bryce said that kiefer never hit me . that it was you . i hate that the lie i told is still out there . it was so wrong and i wish i could take it back . ethan : yeah , well , what 's done is done . forgiven and forgotten . and if i can forget about it , so should you . and besides , i have to say , i 've never had a better divorce than our trip to the dominican . kristina : do you mean that ? ethan : happy graduation . [ scene_break ] carly : michael 's not here . we were all at alexis ' celebrating the kids ' graduation . and that broke up hours ago , so no one 's here . dante : i 'm not here about that , carly . i do n't know who else to talk to about this , actually . but between you and me , michael is driving me crazy . ok ? he 's been camped out on my couch for months on end . do you think my relationship with lulu is going well ? i mean , we 're in a crisis right now . we have no privacy . it 's like we 're about to implode . i mean , i 'm sorry , but you need to take responsibility for your own child sooner or later . carly : i would love to take responsibility for my own child , but you wo n't let me . you 're fighting me every step of the way . i mean , are you kidding me ? dante : actually , i am kidding you . no one needs to take responsibility for michael . carly : what are you talking about ? michael ca n't live on his own , it violates his parole . dante : there is no more parole . carly : what ? dante : michael 's a free man . carly : no , michael 's on parole until august . dante : no , he got time off for good behavior . carly : you pulled strings to make this happen . dante : there 's way more desperate criminals out there that need supervision than michael . that 's all . carly : did you or did you not speak to judge carroll ? dante : all i did was tell him how much he 's achieved and that it 's his graduation day , and then he caved . carly : thank you . dante : do n't thank me . michael earned this . carly : well , thank you anyway . [ scene_break ] sam : hi . jason : hi . sam : molly made sure we had enough sandwiches and cake to last us a week . jason : well , molly always takes good care of you . sam : yes , she does . jason : so how was the party ? sam : um , it was good , all things considered . i mean , i 've got ta give it to my mom for sticking to her guns on the whole violence thing . guns , no pun intended . but everyone was cheering michael on for punching bryce in the face . jason : i talked to michael . he knows he acted out and he regrets it . i do n't think , i mean , if it was n't kristina , he would have held everything together . sam : i 'm sure he would have . jason : ok . sam : ok . jason : what else happened at the party ? sam : ok , there was one other awkward moment , i guess . alexis and sonny and carly got into this big debate over whose kid was more irresponsible . and i kinda had to step in and let them know , you know what , they 're adults . young adults , but they 're adults . jason : and what else did you say ? sam : that they were old enough to make mistakes and have to deal with the consequences . and alexis , carly and sonny had to find a way to start to let go . i mean , of course , if you and i were in that position , i do n't know how we would feel if ... if we had to make that decision . [ scene_break ] abby : so how 's it feel to be a free man ? michael : oh , it feels great . boy , and talk about free . that means i do n't have to camp on dante 's couch anymore . abby : are you thinking about moving back in with your mom ? michael : oh , i love my mom , but no . me and my mom under the same roof is a recipe for disaster , really . i ca n't really live with my dad , either , because there 's a lot of stuff going on with brenda and her son still , so i do n't know . probably just get a place over at kelly 's . abby : well , there 's -- i mean , there 's plenty of room here . michael : you mean it ? i mean , i did n't want to ask . i did n't want to overcrowd you or take advantage or anything . abby : no , you would n't be . but i do n't want to put you on the spot , either . if you want to have a place at kelly 's -- michael : i can pay half rent . i got a job -- well , jason helped me get a job . i have n't told you yet . abby : really ? michael : yeah , he 's going to let me work in my dad 's warehouse . coffee warehouse . it 's totally legit . abby : that 's wonderful ! michael : yeah . abby : you do n't have to pay half the rent , though . that 's -- michael : i insist . really . abby : well , i really have n't asked you to move in yet . michael : can i ? abby : will you ? michael : yeah . abby : yes . | michael ran away from graduation . sonny threatened mayor floyd for michael 's diploma . abby goes to jason about michael 's running away from the ceremony . jason finds michael , and they talk about what happened and michael 's summer job plans . alexis , carly , and sonny find out the real reason that michael punched a kid at graduation . alexis lectures on the values of non - violence . carly and sonny get upset . sam is the voice of reason . |
dillon : you do n't like what you walked in on , then you walk right back out . after everything you did to my mother , i am not interested in anything you have to -- luke : get interested ! because everything that happened last night , everything we said to tracy was a lie . dillon : what the hell ? you -- you humiliated my mother . you broke her heart , and it was a lie ? lulu : what do you mean , it was a -- wait , what lie ? luke : just what i said . it was an act . laura and i are not getting back together -- not at all .

[ scene_break ] rosalie : michael hired somebody to smoke us out . it 's jake doe . nikolas : so , jake got the job ? rosalie : yep . head of security at elq , which means he 's coming after me . and if he 's coming after me , it means he 's coming after you . nikolas : well , that would be the logical progression . rosalie : yeah , very , very logical . so , tell me , mr. spock , what do you plan to do about it ? [ scene_break ] jake : someone is spying on you in your office . michael : i was afraid of that . [ sighs ] a - are you sure ? jake : yeah , i 'm positive . unfortunately , you are under surveillance . michael : by who ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i know how much i let you both down and -- and how dangerous it was , what i did . i should never drugged michael , obviously . uh , i put him at risk . i put avery at risk . not to mention i cost dad his last shot at -- at -- at custody . i 'm pretty ashamed of myself , and , uh , i promise you both that i will never do something that stupid ever again . i just hope you 'll accept my apology . well , we appreciate you bringing us here to , you know , tell us that . carly : an apology is a start , but it does n't excuse your actions , and we 're not the ones you drugged . sonny : you should probably have a similar conversation with michael . morgan : no , i already did . and , i mean , it was n't a full - fledged reconciliation , but at least we -- we made a truce . carly : that 's progress . sonny : yeah , i would n't get your hopes up , because i do n't think michael 's gon na make peace with us anytime soon . morgan : well , not as long as michael 's holding on to your baby with ava . [ scene_break ] ava : now , before you start in , just listen . silas : kiki -- ava : kiki just left . i saw her get in her car . silas : oh , come on in . ava : now , i know that you 're angry with me . silas : oh , i wonder why . ava : but any concerns you had about people seeing through my act , they 've just gone out the window . silas : [ scoffs ] ava : i saw avery the other day . silas : you what ? ava : i did . i visited her -- as denise . it was glorious . i finally got to hold my beautiful baby girl . silas : what happens when michael finds out ? ava : no , he knows . he was there . that 's the best part . he watched it , and he has no idea who i really was . silas : are you sure about that ? ava : yes . i 'm positive . it 's working , silas . michael bought my act . he was none the wiser , just like everybody else . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] carly : i know we have a long way to go with michael . and the fact that he has custody of avery is a big obstacle . and given what morgan put him through , the fact that michael agreed to a truce is a huge step . sonny : does not mean that michael 's gon na soften towards us , carly . carly : okay . morgan , if someone would have told you a few months ago that you would be on speaking terms with your brother , you would have thought they were crazy , right ? morgan : yeah . i never thought that i would get my brother back . i 'm not saying i do now , but i - i - i think there 's at least a possibility . i mean , i might be able to finesse michael into letting you see avery . sonny : really ? morgan : yeah . yeah . sonny : well , but i do n't want you to risk your relationship with -- with your brother for my sake . morgan : no . it might not . i mean , he -- he let denise spend time with her the other day . sonny : michael tell you that ? morgan : no , denise told me the other night . carly : denise ? sonny : [ laughs ] carly : where ? are you socializing with that woman ? sonny : [ chuckles ] carly : uh ... no , no , no . no . this has to stop , morgan . morgan : what needs to stop ? carly : you going anywhere near that woman . you stay away from denise . sonny : if that 's even her real name , 'cause it 's -- carly : you need to stay the hell away from her ... i - it -- before she gets her talons in you like her sister did . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki , hey . kiki : aunt denise , um , what are you doing here ? ava : oh , you know , i just stopped by for a visit . your dad here was just telling me that my favorite oldest niece just stepped out . kiki : oh , well , actually , sam is your oldest niece . ava : yeah , well , she 's my least favorite by far . [ chuckles ] so , what gives ? you saw me pull up , and you came back ? kiki : no , actually , i forgot this . but i wish i knew that you were coming by . i - i already have lunch plans , but maybe you 'd like to join me ? silas : oh , do -- i 'm sure those corinthos people would love to break bread with you . ava : yeah , no , no , i do n't think that sonny likes me very much , on account of me looking so much like my sister . and i 've taken enough of your time as it is . kiki : oh , no , come on . morgan and i had so much fun with you the other night . we 'd love to do that again . ava : you know , i had so much fun too . you and morgan , you 're so cute together . i ca n't believe i did n't realize right off the bat that you two are a couple . there i was with the two of you , a total third wheel . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : do n't worry about jake . rosalie : [ scoffs ] easy for you to say . i 'm the one planted in michael 's office doing your dirty work . nikolas : and you 're being compensated , both with my family 's money and our discretion . rosalie : listen -- you 're not hearing me . okay , it 's bad enough that michael 's nanny suspects something . now michael 's hired jake -- super soldier -- to investigate . nikolas : michael had to do something to stop the bleeding , especially after he found out that someone was making inroads at elq . i just find it ironic that , of all the people he could 've put on my trail , he chose jake . rosalie : what 's so ironic about that ? [ scene_break ] jake : this is gon na be very tough for you to hear . morgan : someone 's trying to take apart my family 's company piece by piece . so tell me who 's spying on me . jake : sam morgan . [ scene_break ] sam : is there someplace we can talk in private ? tracy : oh , by all means , sam . just walk in here uninvited . drag sabrina away and avail yourself of one of any of a number of rooms in my family home for your clandestine conversation . i will just walk out on the street and find some unsuspecting stranger to relieve me of luke 's engagement ring . sabrina : look , tracy , um , wait . i -- actually , i think you need to hear what sam has to say . sam : are you sure ? sabrina : yeah , this has more to do with tracy than it does with me . tracy : what is this about ? sabrina : this is about your family . in fact , it starts with you -- when luke stole your elq shares . [ scene_break ] lulu : i do n't understand . if you and mom are n't getting back together ... dillon : when what the hell was that ? laura : luke , are you sure ? luke : yeah , i 'm sure . we ca n't go on like this . we 've hurt tracy . her son wants to rip my head off for good reason . we have to tell them the truth . lulu : enough ! tell us the truth about what ? laura : are you sure this is the right move ? luke : i do n't want to lie anymore , not to our daughter . laura : neither do i , but bringing her into it puts her in danger . dillon : then bring me in on it . i 'm nobody to you . i 'm not your friend . i 'm not your stepson . tell me what 's going on . put me in danger . lulu : you have to tell us both right now . luke : laura , lulu is not a little girl anymore . she 's a grown woman . she 's faced danger before . she can handle this . lulu : handle what ? laura : it 's your brother . he 's in trouble . [ scene_break ] rosalie : what is so special about jake doe ? nikolas : that information is unrelated to your assignment . rosalie : anything you know about him could help me . nikolas : this wo n't . just concentrate on the task at hand , keep your eye on jake , and keep me apprised of any new developments . rosalie : you want me to investigate my investigator ? nikolas : you 're certainly in the perfect situation to do so . if jake presents a threat , you 'll see him coming . [ scene_break ] tracy : you hired sam to uncover a spy at elq ? sabrina : yes . i believe this person is working with the people who have been gunning for elq . i 'm sure you have questions . tracy : barbara walters has questions . i have concerns . how can you afford a pi ? sam : i 'm doing it pro bono for michael 's sake . tracy : and speaking of the ceo , how is it that there 's a snake amongst us at elq , and i 'm finding out about it from the nanny ? sabrina : to be fair , it 's just a hunch . sam : and , well , michael does n't know . sabrina : well , i - i did n't want to involve him unless i had proof . we already have a difference of opinion over the trust he places in the person who i think is responsible . tracy : so you have a suspect . who ? sabrina : michael 's assistant , rosalie martinez . i have reason to believe that rosalie ... [ chuckles ] is reporting to someone other than michael , someone outside the company . tracy : you know , i caught her having a `` company - related `` phone call the other day . sam : why do you say that like you do n't believe her ? tracy : well , she claimed it was related to an assignment michael had given her . sabrina : did it have to do with obtaining the shares that nina and franco took from ned ? tracy : it did . sabrina : so michael gave rosalie a briefcase full of cash to go and buy the shares from nina . rosalie comes back with all of the cash claiming that nina refused to sell . shortly after , franco shows up insisting to michael that nina sold the shares to rosalie . tracy : so what you 're telling me is that rosalie double - crossed michael and bought the shares on somebody else 's behalf . sabrina : that 's why i hired sam . sam : yeah , i just came from michael 's office , where i bugged rosalie 's phone . so if anyone is trying to take down elq , we should know very soon . [ scene_break ] nikolas : if all goes as planned , i 'll be in control of elq before you 're found out . then , jake will have to answer to me . [ scene_break ] michael : sam is spying on elq ? that does n't make any sense . jake : well , when i got back from my visit with the security team , uh , i saw her hanging around rosalie 's desk . michael : well , did she say why she was there ? jake : she claimed that she wanted to ask you to dinner , that she meant to do it before , but she , uh , missed you when she was at your house . michael : yeah , so ? jake : so sam had another purpose for being here . she wanted to spy on you , using this bug . [ scene_break ] carly : you have to promise me you wo n't go anywhere near that denise woman . morgan : how are you -- how are you making judgment about a person you have n't even met ? carly : instinct , morgan , okay ? okay . morgan : all right . carly : well , look -- and ava was bad for you , and i guarantee that her sister 's gon na be bad for you , too . morgan : denise is kiki 's aunt . they want to get to know each other . i spend a lot of time there . that 's really -- sonny : your -- your mom 's just looking out for you , and rightly so , 'cause that -- that woman -- morgan : come on , let 's -- i mean , can we call her by her name at least ? sonny : i call her a lot of things , but i wo n't do that . morgan : all right . [ sighs ] sonny : denise , whoever the -- okay . she 's trouble . okay ? i do n't like her . morgan : i - i appreciate you , but i am capable of making decisions about my own personal life , so ... carly : okay , um ... i have to take care of some business . morgan : what 'd i say ? what 'd i say ? sonny : i 'll smooth it over . hey , just tell me one thing -- that you 're not going down the same stupid path with denise that you did with ava . morgan : i do n't want to put you in that position . i do n't . sonny : what position is that , morgan ? morgan : the one where you got to lie to mom , dad . sonny : lie about what ? morgan : [ sighs ] denise and i ... we kind of -- you know . sonny : for crying out loud . [ scene_break ] kiki : i 'm sorry . morgan and i , we did n't mean to get so touchy - feely in front of you at dinner the other night . ava : oh , no , do n't -- do n't worry about that . that was nothing . kiki : i think the reason that we 're so ... silas : affectionate ? kiki : yeah . [ chuckles ] um , i think it 's 'cause it all feels so new , you know , even though it is round two for us . [ chuckles ] ava : well , do n't worry about it . it was not too much for me . kiki : really ? ava : not at all . no , it warms my heart to see two young people so ... in love or whatever -- no pressure . kiki : oh , none felt . ava : mm - hmm . kiki : i think we 're just gon na take this one step at a time and see where it all goes . ava : well , i hope it 's someplace good . kiki : [ chuckles ] well , right now , it is to lunch with morgan and his parents . silas : you should get going , sweetheart . kiki : yeah . do you maybe want to walk down with me ? ava : oh , no . no , thanks . i 'm gon na stay here and shoot the breeze with your dad . i 'm gon na pick his brain about ava . i like , uh , talking to somebody who knew my sister . silas : and did i ever . kiki : [ chuckles ] well , i hope that i get to see you again soon . ava : no , you will . i promise .

[ scene_break ] franco : no , i have not lost my mind -- again . it was a rhetorical statement . why would i kill lucas jones , honestly ? he 's totally innocuous . i know he 's related -- distantly related -- to somebody that i do n't like anymore , but outside of that , i do n't think i 've said two words to the guy . dr. obrecht : franco , listen to me . you may have mainstreamed your life to a certain degree , but your criminal history is well known . anytime someone meets with foul play , you automatically take first place on the suspect list . there is no one here besides me who gives you the benefit of the doubt . franco : well , maybe one more person . elizabeth : you nervous ? felix : i have nothing to hide , but i really do n't want to get anyone else in trouble , either . elizabeth : yeah , i know what you mean . i understand there has to be an investigation , but this does n't seem fair . felix : all we can do is tell the truth . i mean , it 's not our fault that the last doctor hired is the first one suspected . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 've been making inquiries about the administrator who oversaw josslyn 's transplant . carly : t. adams ? sonny : therese adams . that 's the name she was using at the time . carly : did you find her ? sonny : not yet . she resigned from general hospital a week after josslyn 's procedure . she put her condo up for sale , and she left port charles the day it closed escrow . she closed her bank accounts and just disappeared . carly : sounds like she 's covering her tracks . which is something you 're gon na want to do if you 're involved in a black - market organ sale . sonny : well , she 's probably changed her name , living somewhere , you know , a new identity , the whole thing , and , uh ... now , look . it could take time , but money always leaves a paper trail . i could find her if you want me to . carly : i mean , if i say yes , it opens up a lot of other issues . sonny : well , i know that you were looking for josslyn 's medical history , and you want to protect her . and i love josslyn , too . you know , i 'm 100 % behind you , but this is your call , not mine . carly : and jax . i mean , we should be involved in this . sonny : yeah , yeah , josslyn 's his daughter , but the final decision is yours . if you want to stop this , i 'll stop it . if you want me to move forward , i will . i 'll do everything i can to help you . but just , you got to understand something . you may not like the answers you find . [ scene_break ] jordan : hi . i 'm about to leave for the night , but if any calls come in about the carlos rivera murder investigation , would you forward to my cell ? [ scene_break ] anna : this has been a very long and disappointing day . the man who is responsible for duke 's death is walking around out there , free as a bird , and i have been cut out of the efforts to bring him to justice . and it would be galling enough if hornsby was responsible for doing that , but it 's jordan , my colleague , my friend -- i thought . [ sighs ] you know , it 's not so long ago that our positions were reversed . i was commissioner , and she was an undercover agent , and she botched an assignment and got fired . you know ? and i -- i gave her a job at pcpd . i put my neck on the line for her . and now she 's just -- you know , she 's screwing me over . andré : anna , just stop , please . jordan feels horrible about the way things went down . she respects you very much and still considers you to be a friend . she just thinks you have a blind spot about julian . anna : no , you 're missing the point . i gave her an opportunity to redeem herself , and now she has declined to return the favor . but you know what ? she 's the commissioner , and she was put in a tight spot , and she made a tough call . and that 's her prerogative , and so , you know , there you go . but you were different . you got on the stand for me , and you swore an oath , and you spoke to my commitment and professional ethics , and for which i 'm very grateful . thank you . but then , when it comes for more than just talk , where you actually have to have faith in me and my abilities , you bailed . so , thank you for saving my life when you did . i am eternally grateful . but , andré , you should leave right now . i 'm just gon na unload on you . andré : not until you hear what i have to say . anna : no . andré : after you left , jordan and i got into a fight about you . anna : well , i hope you were n't defending me , because that 's too little too late . andré : she accused me of being attracted to you . the more i denied it , the less she believed me , and the less i believed myself . it 's true , anna . i have feelings for you . [ scene_break ] valerie : thank you for organizing all this . it was incredibly thoughtful . curtis : you know , it got me to thinking about when i graduated . my parents threw me a bomb - ass party . so i wanted you to have the same experience . valerie : so , how 'd you know who to invite ? curtis : so , remember when i asked you about what cadets you would partner with and which ones you would n't ? that was me making the guest list . valerie : ah . dante : hey , congratulations , man . man : thank you . thanks much . dante : yeah . valerie : and what made you think it was a good idea to invite dante and lulu ? curtis : well , dante -- you 're gon na be in the same squad room with . and lulu , that 's just your fam , so i think it 's high time you - all put stuff behind you . valerie : past time . curtis : mm - hmm . and dante must agree with me 'cause when i mentioned it to him , he was all in . valerie : how about lulu ? curtis : well , now , that 's just a question you 're gon na have to ask your cousin . dante : let 's go get a beer . lulu : i am going to stick with soda tonight . i want to be alcohol - free when we meet with dr. lee about our ivf treatment . dante : ah , you 're pretty amazing . you know that ? and not just 'cause you 're passing on the beer , but because you , uh -- you wanted to be here tonight , and i appreciate that . valerie : i second that . dante : hey . [ scene_break ] carly : i keep going around in circles with this . i mean , i want josslyn 's medical records to be as accurate as possible . and if we know the kidney donor , then we have a better chance at anticipating possible side effects . sonny : yeah . carly : and there 's also a chance for us to find ... some information that 's really ugly . so , in josslyn 's case , maybe ignorance really is bliss . i do n't know , sonny . i do n't know . what should i do ? sonny : [ sighs ] if i was in your place , i think i would try to find the answer . and if it was as bad as i feared , i 'd keep it to myself . i would n't say anything to josslyn . and when she 's old enough to ask why ... i think i would lie to her , you know ? give her something she can live with . carly : i mean , that 's a plan . sonny : i 'm not telling you what to do because there 's no right answer . whatever you want to do , i 'm 100 % behind you . carly : thank you . sonny : i mean , you did the hardest thing imaginable . you went to elizabeth and jason the night they thought they lost their little boy , and you asked them to donate his kidney . you did n't make a deal with the devil . you did n't go to a black market to get a donor . proud of you . you ca n't fight things you ca n't control . you know what i mean ? do n't take on guilt when you do n't deserve it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's so unsettling . are the unexplained deaths and missing drugs related , or was it just an unfortunate coincidence ? nurse : elizabeth , you 're next . elizabeth : how was it ? nurse : pretty standard , at least for me . felix : why do you say that ? nurse : i 've never worked with dr. finn . he 's all they 're interested in talking about . elizabeth : great . i 've worked a lot with dr. finn . felix : me too . good luck in there . elizabeth : thanks . felix : [ clears throat ] excuse me , dr. finn . finn : mm - hmm . felix : can i speak with you for a moment ? finn : about what ? felix : i 'm about to be interviewed about these missing drugs from the dispensary . if they ask me about you , i 'm gon na have to tell the truth . finn : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] franco : so , about you having faith in me , thank you for that . i have n't been a great friend to you lately . dr. obrecht : is that your idea of an apology ? franco : well , i can go bigger and more flowery , if you need me to . dr. obrecht : i would prefer a more tangible demonstration of your remorse . say ... an artwork . you are painting again , correct ? franco : yes . i am . it 's all kind of coming back to me . dr. obrecht : i would be delighted to see your latest works . franco : well , you say that , but you 'd probably be disappointed . no one else seems to like -- well , one person does , but her taste is questionable . dr. obrecht : i assure you , mine is not . i have a deep appreciation for genius , which i am sure would be reflected in your new paintings . franco : well , if you see anything you like , it 's all yours . dr. obrecht : danke . franco : bitte . you know , half - appreciation , half - apology . dr. obrecht : dr. quartermaine . dr. finn has not checked in for his supervised drug test . monica : i know that . i 've already talked to him . dr. obrecht : we 'll set a date to view your paintings . franco : oh , sure . just let me know when . dr. obrecht : i look forward to it . now , much as i have enjoyed this opportunity to reconnect with you , i 'm afraid i must excuse myself . i have a special duty to attend to . [ scene_break ] anna : you 're attracted to me ? andré : i am . anna : oh , that 's , uh ... unexpected . andré : i never planned on saying it out loud , but ... here i am , so ... i feel a connection with you , anna . i did n't ask for it . in fact , i 've tried to avoid it , but ... the more time i spend with you , the more time i want to spend with you . you 're beautiful and courageous and fiercely intelligent . after a while , i found myself thinking about you more than i should . looking in your eyes a little too long . sometimes i felt like you were looking back . anna : no . i -- i -- i mean , yes . i did n't intend -- andré : neither did i . it was completely unexpected , and it 's not going to do either of us any good . which is why , going forward ... i do n't want anything from you . ever again . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm glad that you came . lulu : congratulations . from everything that dante told me , you are going to make a great cop . valerie : thank you . it 's nice to have family here . lulu : i think it 's time the next generation of spencers start acting like the family that we are . valerie : i like that . and i am honored to be on the same force with you . honored and lucky . dante : thank you , but congratulations . you 're gon na be great .

[ scene_break ] sonny : hello , commissioner . jordan : mr. corinthos . sonny : you think maybe you got five minutes before you get back to your incredible party ? [ scene_break ] felix : you asked me to open the drug dispensary for you the other night . you needed a muscle relaxant . finn : if they ask me about it ... you should tell them everything that happened , felix . elizabeth : hey , you 're up next . good luck . hey . finn : hmm . elizabeth : um , fair warning . after a couple preliminary questions , all they want to talk about is you . finn : i 'm sorry about that . but that would seem to be the prevailing theme . excuse me . franco : hey . how 'd it go ? elizabeth : fine , i guess . franco : [ chuckles ] okay , yeah . i mean , of course it went fine for you . right ? they 're probably just getting the rack and the thumbscrews ready for some other poor slob . i 'm the poor slob , right ? that 's what you 're telling me ? elizabeth : oh . [ chuckles ] okay , i see . you 're not asking out of concern for my feelings . you just are worried about yourself ? franco : no , i 'm totally concerned . no , i -- it sucks to be questioned , even if you are totally innocent . and , by the way , i know that you are totally innocent . elizabeth : yeah . franco : i 'm totally innocent , too , just so you know . carly : elizabeth , i have to talk to you . franco : um , we 're in the middle of a private conversation . carly : it 's about jake . [ scene_break ] andré : our history was complicated . we started out in a professional relationship . you were my patient . and then , due to some odd logistics , like winding up at the same thanksgiving day dinner -- anna : okay , you were my therapist , and then we became friends . at least for me , it was a friendship . but for you , it was something ... andré : look , i 'd be lying if i said i did n't have romantic feelings for you . i never intended on acting on them . i -- honestly , i never intended to say them out loud , but they 're real , and they are n't going away . anna : but you 're seeing jordan . andré : which is why i 'm here . i care about jordan deeply . i can see a future with her , as long as i do n't blow it now . anna : because of me . andré : what i tell my patients is , feelings are real . they do exist . you ca n't expect to control them . what you can control are your own actions . anna : okay . i think i understand . you do n't think it 's fair to pursue a relationship with jordan while you have an attraction for me . you have to choose . commit to one and let the other go . andré : yes . yes ! anna : yeah . and you 've already told me that you do n't want anything from me , going forward . andré : i do n't . anna : so , does that mean our friendship is over ? andré : it has to be . we 're done being in each other 's lives . [ scene_break ] sonny : i was -- i was just curious -- how long before julian jerome gets charged with carlos rivera 's murder ? jordan : i 'm sorry . i ca n't comment on an ongoing investigation dante : not to sound like my mother , but maybe that just happens for a reason -- right ? -- and there 's something better out there for us . lulu : yeah . dante : hey . sonny : everything okay ? i 'm sorry to interrupt . dante : yeah , no . no , you did n't . we just -- we got a call from our realtor . we put a bid on a place . we did n't get it . lulu : i know . there will obviously be other houses out there . just we fell in love with this one . a big backyard , plenty of space for a swing set , great school district . dante : it was pretty perfect sounding , but we did what we could . we went over asking , and then someone went over what we did , so ... onto the next , right ? lulu : yeah .

[ cheers and applause ] man : go , valerie ! [ scene_break ] carly : this is an important conversation , elizabeth , and i 'd rather have it without franco 's color commentary . franco : yeah , i work with jake , so i have a vested interest in him . carly : yeah , that 's not what jake 's father seems to think . franco : jake 's father 's out of town , so he does n't get a vote . carly : jake 's father has his memory back , and he remembers every evil , sadistic thing you did to all the people he loves . now , i get that i do n't have a right to talk , because i made the crazy mistake of getting involved with you , but i have every right to tell elizabeth all the crazy things that you could do to her , like telling her how she is the only one that can save you , and she 's gon na be the only one in your life . elizabeth : just go , go . please just go . franco : yeah , you 're probably right . carly : okay , you saw what franco did to me , so proceed with caution , please . elizabeth : i 'm not proceeding with anything . and i know you did n't come here to talk about franco , so what 's going on ? what is this about jake ? carly : okay . well , we all thought that jake 's kidney saved josslyn . obviously , that was n't the truth , so jax and i want to know where the donor kidney came from . elizabeth : yeah , i totally understand . as a mother , i 'm right there with you . i still want to know what happened to jake when he was on that island with helena . carly : okay , well , elizabeth , whatever we find out about the donor kidney , it could be dark and illegal . so my question for you , and i 'll ask jason when he gets back in town is , do you want to know what we find ? or would you rather leave it alone ? [ scene_break ] monica : dr. finn . finn : hmm . monica : if you do n't submit yourself to a drug test , there is no way i can protect you from disciplinary action . finn : the last time i checked , you were the chief of staff . monica : yes , and my authority has oversight , like everyone else . finn : all due respect , dr. quartermaine , there is no way in hell i 'm taking a drug test . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : hello ? anyone here ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i know it sounds ridiculous , but i had no idea what an emotional roller coaster it is to buy a house . dante : you just do n't want to start over , you know ? like , your team got to game 7 in the playoffs , and it 's the bottom of the 9th , and you lose on a walk - off . next season , right ? lulu : still sucks to lose . dante : still sucks to lose . sonny : trust me , you 're gon na get your house real soon . lulu : thanks . sonny : all right , i got to go , 'cause i do n't want your boss to get mad that i 'm trying to get information from you . dante : she knows i would n't tell you a damn thing , anyway . see ya . sonny : see ya . [ walks outside ] listen , i got one thing i need you to do for me . [ scene_break ] curtis : you know , uh , that was , um ... that was real cool of miss jordan to , uh , give you a shout . and top 10 % -- you should be proud . so i 'm proud of you . valerie : thanks . you know , i was watching you during jordan 's speech . curtis : yeah ? valerie : you miss it , do n't you . wearing a badge ? curtis : more than you might imagine . jordan : congratulations , rookie .

[ scene_break ] anna : well , i 've been dumped before , but this is a fresh take . andré : i 'm sorry for sounding so harsh . i just needed to put it out there . anna : and do the right thing . andré : yes , exactly . anna : no , but this does n't feel like the right thing , not at all . you know ? ca n't we just be friends but , like , set boundaries and just stick to them ? andré : you are probably strong enough to keep those boundaries . in fact , i 'm sure you are . you seem strong enough for anything . but me ? i ca n't keep going on this way . feeling for jordan and feeling for you -- it is n't fair to anyone . anna : i 'm really gon na miss our friendship , you know . i have valued it a lot . andré : me , too . [ scene_break ] monica : taking the drug test is the easiest way to prove your innocence . and you get a bonus by proving obrecht wrong . why ? why do you refuse to clear your name ? finn : because in this country , you 're innocent until proven guilty , not the other way around . i am not obligated to prove i am not on drugs by peeing in some cup . submitting to that test goes against everything that i believe in . dr. obrecht : dr. quartermaine , i must speak with you immediately . it is of the utmost importance . monica : you have two minutes . dr. obrecht : i wo n't even need that much . monica : come on . dr. finn , i suggest you wait right here . finn : [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you and i have always had a scratchy relationship . we 've had just as many downs as ups . probably more downs . but thank you . thank you for this advance notice . and , yeah , i would really appreciate knowing whatever you find out about the donor kidney . maybe it 'll shed some light on what happened with jake . carly : okay . i 'll let you know what i find out . elizabeth : good luck . carly : i 'm sorry . um ... franco 's gon na hurt you . he ca n't help himself . be careful . elizabeth : [ sighs ] franco : oh , hey . elizabeth : oh , hey . franco : yeah , that carly , huh ? elizabeth : hmm . franco : what a ray of sunshine . elizabeth : yeah , you 've been eavesdropping this entire time ? franco : yeah , i want to say no to you , but ... i do n't want to lie to you . is n't that interesting ? yeah , i -- i heard everything carly said , and it sounded really ominous and really convincing , but please do n't let her convince you . all right ? carly hates you almost as much as she hates me . she wants us both to be miserable . and , yeah ... she has a point . maybe i deserve to be miserable after the way that i treated her , but you do n't -- you do n't ever deserve to be miserable . can i give you some advice ? elizabeth : about what ? franco : well , tracking down this organ donor . what good can come of that ? elizabeth : answers . sometimes you need to know the truth , no matter how bad , just to get closure . franco : yeah , well , in my experience , truth is overrated . i 've found that , once you open the door to that dark room , it 's hard to get back out . [ scene_break ] finn : hello . carly : hi . finn : hi . carly : oh , gosh . i 'm so glad i ran into you . i have a solid lead on that donor thing , but i ca n't really get into it right now . finn : i can be of service if you need me . carly : thank you . thank you .

[ scene_break ] curtis : this is for you . valerie : 50 cents ? how will i ever figure out how to spend it all ? curtis : right . you got jokes . uh , that 's not for spending . that 's a good - luck charm . you see , my first call when i was a rookie , some jackass thought it was a good idea to take shots at the police . hit me right here in the chest . i had that in my pocket . i believe it saved my life . and i want you to have it . valerie : wow . well , if that 's true , it 's amazing . and if it 's a lie , it 's a damn good one . curtis : yeah , well , uh , if i was n't telling the truth and keeping it 100 with you , i 'd have spent that bad boy a long time ago . valerie : [ chuckles ] so , you really want me to have the lucky coin that saved your life ? curtis : you 're on the job now . it 'll do you more good than me . so , uh , you got plans for tonight ? valerie : yeah . i do . i was thinking something like this .

[ scene_break ] diane : i have consulted with every family court judge i could find and they all said the same thing . sonny giving up custody of his sons does not constitute grounds for you forcing him into the same action with kristina . i 'm sorry , honey . you do n't have a legal leg to stand on . alexis : thanks for looking into it . diane : i 'll pursue it , if you want me to . i will bring in someone who specializes in custody issues . but if you want my educated opinion , you 'd just be wasting your money . alexis : as if her well - being could be measured in dollars and cents . diane : that 's not what i meant , and you know it . alexis : i know it . i 'm sorry . diane : look at you . you 're obviously overwrought . okay , here 's a thought . why do n't you come back to the haunted star with me ? just spend the rest of the evening relaxing , getting to know max a little bit better -- alexis : diane -- diane : having a couple of drinks -- alexis : are you being obtuse on purpose ? you think i want to gamble right now ? i 'm way too busy having a nervous breakdown about my daughter . diane : fine . you know where to find me . alexis : di -- di , i 'm sorry . diane ? anthony : d.a . davis . how are you tonight ? listen , i just came across some really interesting information about your little girl . kristina , is it ? alexis : unless you 've come here to confess the myriad of crimes that you 've committed , i 'm not interested . anthony : you disappoint me , ms. davis . are n't you supposed to be the local champion of innocent until proven guilty ? i mean , maybe you 're just prejudiced against me because i 'm sonny 's rival . speaking of sonny , i find it fascinating that he 's the father of your child . talk about a uniquely positioned little girl . d.a . for a mother and mob kingpin for a dad . alexis : sonny 's retired . anthony : so he says , but we both know nobody ever really gets out of this business . i mean , look at me . six months ago everybody had me written off as a talking head of cabbage . but here i am , back , strong as ever . alexis : if this is your oblique way of threatening my daughter , i 'm warning you -- anthony : i have a daughter myself . i would never dream of hurting yours , but you have to remember , not everybody is as scrupulous as yours truly , and little kristina makes one sweet target . alexis : get out . or i will have you arrested , and i 'll ask questions later . anthony : i 'm sorry to hear you say that . i was hoping we might find the basis for a mutually beneficial relationship . you know what ? we still might . `` never say never `` is what i always say . actually , i never say that . have a nice night , ms. davis .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you know what , scotty ? i 'm here to support tj , end of story . scott : well , that 's 'cause his guardian ca n't be here . you must feel kind of lousy about that , i mean , that stooge butler , he followed your every wish , and now he 's in a cage . some benefits you offer your employees . and now the kid that he loved like a son is about to do hard time . tough break . sonny : hard time for what , shoving a mall cop ? i mean , he got a little physical with the guard . nobody got hurt . it 's a misdemeanor . scott : well , that 's not what i 'm prosecuting him for .

[ scene_break ] sonny : shoving a security guard is not a felony . scott : well , see , that 's where you 're wrong . because it turns out that the security guard , all of a sudden , he developed a little bit of pain . so he goes to the doctor , and the doctor says he has a dislocated shoulder . now , that 's aggravated battery , so tj could be facing one year or 25 years .

[ scene_break ] ava : so you did n't feel anything ? not in all the time you were taking care of me ? not when you were fighting against helping me end my life ? not when you were lying to me to save it ? never ? silas : of course , i felt something . ava : just nothing romantic , huh ? well , you know , i got to say , silas , your actions , they speak otherwise . you hid me from the police , diagnosed my cancer , you kidnapped my child to cure me of that cancer against my adamant wishes , mind you . you do n't just do that for anyone . silas : you 're not anyone . i never pretended that you were . ava : okay . then please stop pretending now . you said things to me . silas : i know i did . ava : things you ca n't take back , things i will carry with me forever . and ... was that just to keep my spirits up ? silas : no . ava : then what was it for ? that day in the hospital when i was lying on my deathbed , living what i believed were the last moments i had on earth , i had so many feelings . but what i felt most was genuine regret for the mistakes that we made , for the life we could have had but now we never would . and i thought i saw that regret in you . of course , yours was tinged with some hope , right ? thinking that maybe your hail mary had worked , and i would live after all . silas : and you did . ava : because you refused to give up on me . maybe on us . silas : ava ... ava : the way you looked at me , was that just part of the set - up ? your tears , your declarations . they -- they were fake ? silas : no , they were n't .

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ric : i know you feel beholden to tj because of what happened with shawn . okay , i get that . i respect that . but your presence in that courtroom is not gon na help matters . sonny : i 'm just here to support tj . ric : and you did , okay ? tj knows that you 're here and knows why you 're here , and i am gon na explain to him why you 're not in there . my argument is that tj was railroaded , okay , that he 's a good kid , he 's gotten good grades , he 's got a steady job , and he was detained and harassed solely because of the way he looked , sonny . it 's all about perception . sonny : you do n't think i would be perceived well ? ric : well , i think it 's a little harder to prove tj 's innocence with the teflon don sitting behind him . sonny : i get it , i get it . i 'll go ahead and sit over here . ric : thank you . sonny : i 'll wait here , okay ? ric : okay . hey . sonny : yeah ? ric : wish me luck . sonny : i do n't think you 're gon na need it .

[ lucky laughs ] sam : whoa . lucky : you know what we should do ? we should look for some cigar butts or some empty bottles . sam : that 's a good idea . sam : oh , come on , lucky , please , there 's no sign of him or anyone else . maybe i did it wrong . maybe it 's not the right spot . lucky : yeah or maybe dad , he 's just like a hundred miles away , you know , sampling the local tequila . sam : well -- [ sam squeals ] sam : i 'm not complaining . this to me is a whole lot better than sitting in some jail cell .

[ claudia scoffs ] claudia : did it ever occur to you , jason , that i owe you for saving my life and maybe helping your friend was my way of saying thank you ? spinelli : not everything vixenella does has an ulterior motive . claudia : you know , for all your tough - guy attitude , maybe your grasshopper here has more common sense than you do . spinelli : would you like to break bread with us ? jason : no -- claudia : did you just invite me to dinner ? spinelli : well , see , the room is starting to -- to rotate in a most alarming manner , and i just thought maybe some carbohydrates might be -- claudia : oh , you have the spins . honey , you need something greasy and full of carbs . you better order a pizza before damian yaks all over your floor . [ scene_break ] johnny : we are scamming my father , lulu , while we look for evidence to incriminate him . you need to trust me because this is our only opportunity to do this . lulu : the one that i do n't trust is maxie , but it does n't help when you 're letting her drape herself all over you . johnny : that is not what she was doing . lulu : she is into you , johnny . you say that you 're on to her , but then i keep finding you guys together . johnny : oh , so you trust me except for when it come to maxie . lulu : do i trust that you would risk your life for me ? absolutely . do i think that you 'd protect me from you father ? no question . but do i think that you would be faithful to me under any circumstances ? i used to . i just -- i 'm not sure now . johnny : then you do n't know me at all . [ scene_break ] alexis : i have no idea why i 'm here . i really should be at home with the girls , packing , arranging to change our identities as we move to the other side of the planet . jerry : why do n't you just take a few cleansing breaths and just , you know , relax . alexis : i never relax , jerry . that 's because my children are always in danger . jerry : i do n't understand . alexis : i thought i made myself perfectly clear during my paranoid rant about sonny and carly at the haunted star . i do n't know , maybe i spoke too softly . jerry : no , no , no , you projected beautifully . but -- but why now ? i mean , you 've held yourself together so admirably for so long , why choose tonight to have a delayed reaction about michael 's shooting . alexis : maybe it was just the way sonny and carly were standing together , acting as if nothing had happened . jerry : no , no , you 've seen them talk a dozen times . something clearly set you off . what is it ? alexis : anthony zacchara came to my office today and he was very polite and pleasant and casual when he remarked that my daughter would make great leverage . he would n't hesitate for a minute to hurt my little girl . jerry : well , i promise you i will never let that happen . [ scene_break ] max : ms. davis goes on and on about the safety of her kids , and then she takes off with some psycho like jerry jacks . go figure . diane : much as i admire alexis for many of her qualities , her taste in men is dubious at best . max : why do you think she lost it like that ? diane : that was my fault . max : i doubt that , diane . diane : alexis asked me to find a legal way to compel sonny to relinquish his parental rights to kristina , and tonight i had to tell that there 's no way . max : you were just being honest . you know , i do n't think ms. davis ever really understood how the boss thinks anyway . diane : sadly , i think the only woman who can consistently deal with sonny is carly . [ scene_break ] carly : i want you to know that i am so grateful that you gave up morgan . sonny : it 's not going to bring michael back . carly : i know that , but it 's going to keep morgan safe . i always talked about how selfish you were . carly : you know , sonny , i know that you need to rebuild your life any way you can , but i just -- i do n't think kate 's going to make you happy . [ scene_break ] alexis : i do n't need one murderer defending me from another one . jerry : well , with all due respect , that 's exactly what you need . alexis : well , at least you admit it -- you 're a criminal . jerry : yes , i 'm everything you ever said i was . i 'm hateful , amoral , ruthless , deadly . you know i took a lobby full of people hostage , i shot robin , i poisoned your nephew . that 's nothing compared to what i 've done . i can and will do whatever it takes to get what i want , and what i want is for you to feel safe . alexis : hmm , there might be a better way to do this . jerry : well , anthony zacchara has committed no crime . and who do you think is going to protect your daughter , the police ? or you could go to sonny or jason morgan , but that will create a mob war , which will put kristina in even more danger . alexis : running away is looking better every minute . jerry : no , no , no , no , there 's a simpler solution . let me handle this . i promise you that anthony zacchara will not hurt you or kristina or molly . if he does , he will disappear from the face of the earth . alexis : you mean you 're going to kill him ? jerry : i refuse to incriminate myself in front of the district attorney . you 'll just have to trust me . can you do that ? alexis : you know what scares me is that i really want to . jerry : try me . [ scene_break ] jason : thanks . claudia : did you check and make sure they got the order right , 'cause i ordered pepperoni , i want to make sure -- spinelli : the jackal will assist his -- claudia : okay , stay right here until we get some food in you , okay ? why did n't you check to see what was in it ? i ordered pepperoni . you 're not big on conversation , are you ? jason : you know what ? you can leave anytime . claudia : i am going to have a slice of pizza . i 'm hungry , so shoot me . [ spinelli giggles ] claudia : sorry , bad joke . well , i have n't had time to stock my new refrigerator in my new apartment since you burned down my house . so i am going to eat the slice and then i 'll leave . spinelli : we 're delighted to have the company of such a charming and dare i say fetching young lady . jason : shut up , spinelli , and eat your pizza . claudia : you know what -- stop . why do n't you stop ordering him around ? maybe if you treated him better , he would n't have to go around acting like an australian romeo just to feel good about himself . spinelli : the jackal appreciates your spirited defense , but it is most unnecessary . claudia : well , you know what , it 's not . someone has to stand up to this bully . how could you possibly have such a sweet friend and treat him like dirt ? [ scene_break ] carly : thought you 'd still be at the office with kate or giselle . jax : no , giselle had a conference call with her editors , so i came home to wait for you . carly : oh . i noticed you did n't say good - bye when you left the haunted star . jax : did you want me to ? carly : well , you know , you looked a little busy . jax : well , so did you . did you settle anything with sonny ? carly : we both agreed not to hurt each other anymore . jax : well , uh , that 's a start . carly : hey , alexis is crazy . i am never getting back together with sonny . jax : i know you want to believe that and so do i , but i could n't help but notice when alexis attacked you , you immediately jumped to each other 's defense . [ scene_break ] sonny : glad you called . kate : well , it was either that or obsess over what alexis said tonight . sonny : well , you know , alexis is in a lot of pain -- kate : a lot of pain , i know . sonny : she wants to protect kristina from me because i 'm a , you know , i 'm such a monster . but if she had to do it all over again , she would . you know why ? because we love that little girl . kate : i realize that , sonny . sonny : yeah , well , i mean , she brings us so much joy . but that 's what , you know , that is what alexis keeps leaving out . kate : well , she 's scared , sonny . she 's looking back at a lot of regret . she got involved with you despite all the warnings that you and carly would always be tied . no matter how much you and carly say it , you 're not really ever over . sonny : are we -- are we still talking about alexis , or -- or are you talking about yourself ? [ scene_break ] maxie : no johnny ? is that why you dropped the sweetness and light ? lulu : maxie , i am really sorry about georgie . i know how much she meant to you . i would be devastated if either of my brothers were killed . i would not wish that kind of grief on anybody . maxie : yeah , okay , you already apologized to me at the overlook . why did you call me here ? lulu : it turns out you did n't follow johnny tonight , but you have been setting him up a bunch of times . maxie : i do n't see him here complaining . lulu : where is your pride ? why are n't you humiliated by his rejection ? maxie : johnny did n't reject me tonight . he was actually really nice . lulu : stop throwing yourself at my boyfriend . maxie : but i like johnny , so why in the world would i stop ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : vixenella is sorely mistaken . stone cold is a superlative friend to the jackal . claudia : not that i can see . spinelli : stone cold is loyal and supportive , and not only has he saved the jackal 's life numerous times , he provides guidance and counsel , a well - paid vocation and this superb place to live -- granted my chambers are of a regrettably pink shade . but you know the pink hue of my regrettably pink room has actually proved most beneficial to my focus and concentration . claudia : hey , none of that makes up for the way that he treats you . spinelli : stone cold is occasionally terse in speech , so that may have given vixenella the wrong idea as to his inherently generous nature . claudia : okay , let me see if i 've got this right . you pay spinelli and you let him live in your pink room . he does all your computer hacking , which is a crime , by the way . so you have this kid breaking the law and getting shot at . in my book , that makes you a pretty lousy friend . [ scene_break ] alexis : that was a bad impulse . it 's not going to happen again . jerry : i believe you said something similar when we were under e roulette table at the haunted star . alexis : did i ? do n't remind me of that . jerry : well , i enjoyed it thoroughly . alexis : so did i , but then again , i have really bad taste in men . see , i only like them and am attracted to them when they 're dangerous , difficult and unhinged -- nothing personal . jerry : then it 's certainly clear why you 're attracted to me now . alexis : i seem to be on the brink of something disastrous . this ca n't be good . jerry : well , now might be a good time to take another breath . alexis : i 'm breathing just fine . jerry : well , you 've seen the worst of me and the future can only be a pleasant surprise . alexis : your argument is inconclusive . jerry : you 're safe with me , alexis . alexis : no , i 'm not . jerry : oh , i see the problem . alexis : you do ? jerry : yes , you 've made up your mind to always be disappointed . you 're convinced that when it comes to romance , nothing beautiful is going to happen to you . but you 're wrong , and i 'm going to prove it to you . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm always going to care about sonny . we have children together . we have years of shared history . jax : yeah , more than you have shared with me . carly : what difference does that make ? it 's in the past . jax : well , i 'm sure you believed that every time that you split up with him . carly : oh -- it 's different this time . i 'm married to you . and besides , something broke in me when i found out that sonny saw that rifle and he protected kate instead of his own son . jax : look , i 'm the last person to defend sonny , but i 'm assuming that michael was further away than kate . carly : i do n't care . i do n't care . i 've heard it . yeah , i 've heard it . michael was farther away . kate was right there . it was sonny 's first instinct . it makes sense in my head , but not in my heart . and you know what ? everything 's changed . [ scene_break ] kate : carly 's been basically hostile towards me since the day that we met . sonny : right . kate : i 'm assuming that she 's threatened by the ways that we 're different , my career , my social circle . she 's told me time and time again , how i 'm not strong enough to hold on to you , how i do n't really understand you . the implication being that you share some sort of bond that we never will , and it used to make me furious . but after tonight -- i do n't know , but maybe my anger is because i 'm actually afraid she might be right . sonny : come here . you were the first girl that i ever loved , the girl that i wanted to run away with in bensonhurst . you know me better than anyone . kate : do i , sonny ? sonny : where is this coming from ? kate : look , i 'm not very happy with myself , the way that i 've handled carly through michael 's tragedy . no , she 's a mother , sonny , and she 's going through unimaginable pain . it 's not right for me to make judgments , but i love you . sonny : right . kate : and to see her yelling at you outside of michael 's i.c.u . room , blaming you , making you give up your sons , it 's -- it 's not right . kate : oh , my -- sonny : what 's the -- kate : there it is . sonny : there it is what ? kate : you 're defending her . sonny : oh , please . kate : do you see ? no matter what you 've been through , you two are a team . alexis was yelling at both of you . and the truth is , you and carly will always be a part of each other 's lives . sonny : maybe that 's true , but you 're the one that i love . [ scene_break ] maxie : johnny is obviously attracted to me . lulu : johnny knows you 're a slut . maxie : i guess he likes me that way . lulu : okay , if you do n't stop throwing yourself at johnny , i will screw up so badly at work that we 'll both get fired . maxie : i have a better idea . you 're a spencer , which means you 're a gambler , so why do n't we take one spin on the roulette wheel -- all or nothing . if it lands on red , i get a date with johnny , free and clear . if it lands on black , i 'll leave johnny alone for good . lulu : i get to spin the wheel . maxie : fine by me . oh , you know , just restate the rules so i know it 's fair . lulu : red , you get a date with johnny . black , you stay the hell away from him . johnny : do i look like a poker chip ? i 'm not going to be wagered like one . lulu : whoa , johnny , that -- this is not what -- that 's not what this is about . johnny : i know what it 's about . it 's about the challenge , right ? and i 'm always up for a challenge , so i 'll take the date with maxie . [ scene_break ] carly : what 's going on ? we sat here on this couch a few nights ago and we talked about how much we loved each other . you gave me this bracelet . i touch this thing 20 times a day and i think about you . jax : this bracelet 's for our memories . carly : we already have so many wonderful ones , jax . jax : i know , with many more to come i hope . carly : with a lifetime more to come . you know , i told you when i married you that -- jax : shut up . carly : i was so grateful . jax : i love you , and i always will . [ scene_break ] sonny : when you saw me at the haunted star , you knew something was wrong . kate : are you going to finally tell me ? sonny : yes , i am . jason came over this afternoon to give me a father 's day present from michael , a life vest for me and the boys . and then out of nowhere , carly shows up with another gift from morgan , little handprints that he made . kate : oh , sonny . sonny : so here i am , standing in my living room with two gifts from my boys that are gone from my life . so , you know , i got to tell you , it felt -- it felt like a bottomless pit was just going to open up and i was going be swallowed in . kate : and i wish you would have called me . sonny : you know , i thought about calling you and then i thought , you know what , i 'm not going to -- i do n't know . i mean , you do make me feel better all the time , that there 's hope for a future without violence , and a chance to see my boys . you , uh , you make me believe i can have a life . you -- you make me believe in myself . sonny : and i do n't know if that 's selfish or what , but i love you for that . kate : i do believe in you , sonny , and i do believe that we can have a wonderful life together . [ scene_break ] jason : it 's true , spinelli . i have n't done you any favors , that 's for sure . spinelli : no , the jackal protests the veracity of that most misleading statement . your grasshopper was already in toils with mobsters , namely the shark - skinned darth alcazar , when he and stone cold first met . claudia : darth alcazar ? spinelli : lorenzo alcazar paid the jackal heftily for his cyber services , but then stone cold came and changed my life for the better by being a bastion of integrity . claudia : from one mobster to the next -- yeah , that 's really bettering yourself , spinelli . spinelli : while the jackal appreciates vixenella 's assistance and concern , he must ask her to refrain from engendering guilt in stone cold on the jackal 's behalf . claudia : it 's sweet the way he hero worships you . it 's like you 're his older brother . spinelli : the jackal could only hope to be worthy of a sibling - like bond with stone cold . claudia : being an older sibling is a sacred bond . you always have to be there for your little brother . you never , ever let him down . jason : you finished with your pizza ? claudia : you 're not good at taking advice , are you ? okay , i can take a hint . spinelli : vixenella 's welcome to more soda if she likes . claudia : thanks , spinelli , but your hero is practically booting me out the door . so have another piece of that pizza , and you 'll feel great in the morning , okay ? bye . man : stay here . the man who delivered your food was exposed to the asian ague , a highly contagious illness . to avoid further outbreak , you 're all under quarantine . no one may leave the premises .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : maximista , i am mortified that i spilled you on your beauteous backside . maxie : no , it 's okay , but what 's going on ? you seem so distracted . you 've barely even had a reaction to the thought of spending time alone with me . should i be insecure ? is it winnifred again ? spinelli : no , the priestess is happily ensconced as head of online security for some major film studio . maxie : well , if not winnifred , then what ? spinelli : i 've been pondering the mysteries surrounding the maladroit mayor 's mistress . maxie : who cares ? no , no , no . i did n't mean that literally . you know , of course i care that a human being died in a somewhat humiliating way , but it 's not like someone 's paying you to be driven to distraction . or did someone actually hire you to solve this case ? spinelli : not exactly , although fair samantha did secure the assignment of catching the mayor with his pants down , so to speak , but -- so , in theory , mccall and jackal could be called upon for further investigation . so any forethought would only be helpful . maxie : is that why you 're so brilliant , because you always think ahead ? spinelli : it has always been a simultaneous blessing and a curse that i have an overactive imagination . another reason why the intricacies of this case have captured my thoughts . maxie : i am giving you a much better use of your time . spinelli , did you hear me ? kate is away . we could play . we could have picnics by the lake or spend the weekend in the cape or have shopping trips in manhattan or go to museums . i know you like old and historical stuff like that . if you tell me about them , i might learn to grow in appreciation for them too . spinelli : i am especially intrigued by the cape , although i must caution you . i require constant application of sun block . i freckle with too much sun exposure . maxie : well , that will be my responsibility , to make sure that every inch of your body is safe , sound , and happy . spinelli : ah ... how about we strike a bargain ? okay , if we partake in the sun and shore delights after , first we -- um , we find whether or not the mayor bludgeoned his mistress , yes ? maxie : you want my help ? spinelli : of course . maximista 's valuable insight is always welcome . maxie : yeah , cool . okay , where do we start ? spinelli : at the scene of the crime . actually , at the inception , as it were . maxie : as it were , chief . lead the way . [ scene_break ] alexis : the evidence suggests that there is n't a solid case here . medical evidence says that brianna hughes came to that hospital with a head injury so severe that they did n't think anyone would be able to save her . now diane can say there was some big hospital conspiracy , but nobody wants to believe that either , and she might even be charged with misconduct . max : have you tried to talk to diane about it ? alexis : tried and failed . max : i know how much she respects your opinion , though . alexis : i think she can hear it more easily from you .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : perhaps i 'll handle this as an expose . maxie : like a newspaper article ? spinelli : yeah , precisely , a painstaking , hard hitting investigation into the seething cauldron of corruption that lies beneath the law - and - order facade of city government . maxie : okay , spinelli , but you 're not a journalist . spinelli : yes , i suppose that could be a stumbling block . maxie : either way , i really do n't think breaking into the mayor 's office is such a good idea . spinelli : brianna hughes was the slimy mayor 's assistant . i surmise that it was in this office where the initial attraction was sparked , perhaps even where the early stages of the affair were conducted . maxie : wait a minute . are you telling me we 're going to try and prove that the mayor and brianna did the nasty on his office couch ? spinelli : not to put too fine a point on it , but yes . maxie : you 're the boss . spinelli , why do n't you let me give it one shot , okay ? well , robin taught me . her dad was a super spy . come on . spinelli : okay , you take the desk . maxie : ugh , what a metrosexual . this is that cheap stuff that lingers on you for hours after the sleaze who 's wearing it hugs you . mac : come on , mayor . you know i 'm shorthanded as it is . mayor floyd : that 's your problem , commissioner , not mine . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i do n't think the dream means that emily is warning you to stay away from rebecca from the great beyond . it 's less complicated , and i do n't think it 's supernatural . i think it 's your subconscious telling you what you already know , and that is being with rebecca is a terrible idea . and even if -- even if she was the person she 's making herself out to be , the sweet , misunderstood victim blindsided by a twist of fate , you still would n't be happy with her . nikolas : how are you so sure about that ? elizabeth : because rebecca is not emily , and emily is the person you love . you need to give yourself permission to grieve for emily , and then , nikolas , you need to let her go . [ scene_break ] rebecca : i realize you 're part owner of the casino . so that means ethan gets to stand here and get interrogated by you . i do n't . tracy : nice try , but i will not be deflected from this fascinating coincidence . emily 's long lost sister and luke 's long lost son in an intense conversation which could n't be about anything but somebody else 's money . ethan : look , i 'm so sorry to disappoint you , tracy , but there 's no vast conspiracy here . although i would love to run a good scam with rebecca . she is quite alluring . she only wants to discuss the details of a card game i 'm setting up . tracy : that was good . tell me another one . rebecca : we 'll talk about the game another time . tracy : she could use a few pointers . she 's not nearly as good as you . ethan : entertain suspicions of rebecca somewhere else . we actually have a more pressing matter to deal with . i think luke might be in trouble . [ scene_break ] alexis : actually max just stopped by to give me an update on michael 's condition , and i have n't been able to get to the hospital . and so thanks for that update . i do n't want to take up any more of your time . max : well , well , works for me . i 'll see you later . diane : not so fast . max : [ exhaling ] diane : i know that panicked look in your eye . it means you 're hiding something . if i did n't know better , i would say my very dear friend is putting the moves on my guy . max : for shame , diane . i have never , ever seen ms. davis as a sexual object . alexis : thanks , max . max : you know , i stared at her doors for over two years when she lived across the hall from mr. c. i know the most intimate details of ms. davis ' life , more than i 'm happy about or comfortable with . but our relationship has never been anything but courteous and professional , and i resent you saying otherwise . diane : well , i 'm terribly sorry , max . please paint a different scenario for me . why are you here ? alexis : oh , for heaven 's sakes , diane . it 's not court . stop interrogating the poor guy . diane : i just asked him a very simple question . max : we were worried about you . diane : a - ha , why ? max : you 've been working so hard , you know , these big cases and all that pressure . diane : actually , it 's just the opposite . corinthos and morgan have been shockingly law abiding of late . i 've been bored out of my gourd , and until the family of brianna hughes approached me about this lawsuit -- but you know this already , do n't you ? max : no . diane : i told you . max : you may have mentioned it in passing . diane : so you 're worried about me taking on the brianna hughes lawsuit ? max : not that specifically . just in general , you know , in a caring but manly way about your , um ... diane : my what ? max : well , your ambulance chasing . diane : ambulance chasing ? max : whoa , diane , easy , okay ? i did n't mean to insult you , okay ? ms. davis said that if you do n't drop this malpractice suit , that your whole career could end up in the toilet . [ scene_break ] [ door opening ] mayor floyd : i 'm asking for a couple of cops , commissioner , not the resources of the entire robbery / homicide division . mac : one of those cops is callahan . he 's working five cases right now . five , and you know why ? because i 've had to lay off two cops and i 'm looking at cutting two more . and here you come wanting to take more men from the squad to look into some special investigation . into what , mayor ? mayor floyd : i outrank you , commissioner , which means i do n't have to explain myself . and if you try to block my request , i will make your next review before the council a very arduous experience indeed . [ scene_break ] patrick : okay , well , it looks pretty standard to me . robin : yeah , i think so . patrick : you 're about brianna 's height and weight . that 's good . robin : and you 're about as tall as mayor floyd , much better looking and in better shape , of course . patrick : well , thank you very much . robin : so how do we figure she bumped her head ? patrick : i do n't know , but let 's just try it . come on , hop up .

[ rebecca sighs ] [ scene_break ] ethan : i do n't see what is so bloody amusing . tracy : for such a promising con , you really are thick . luke felt the family closing in on him . he departed for greener pastures . ethan : he told me he was n't leaving . lucky : he lied . lulu : i 'm sure that he meant it when he said it to you , but he probably changed his mind . tracy : yeah , he 's probably off in search of a broad he has n't bedded or a bar he has n't barfed in . lulu : okay , you 're not used to this , ethan . our dad disappears all the time . it 's his pattern . he 's here for a few months , and then he gets bored and he takes off . but he always pops up again , so believe me , it 's nothing to worry about .

[ scene_break ] michael : maybe lulu 's right to worry . i mean , dante did go to jail for tryin ' to get morgan off the witness stand at dad 's trial . who knows how far he 'll go to get me released ? even if it 's only to clear his conscience . jason : look , i 'm all for dante usin ' any pull he has to get you out of here . do not mistake his guilt for loyalty , because when it comes down to helping you or his badge , he 's gon na make the same decision every single time . nothing is more important to him than being a cop . michael : yeah , but dante lied in court about how he got shot . i mean , he swore under oath that the gun went off by accident , right ? jason : mm - hmm . michael : so if he cares about being a cop so much , why would he risk his job to protect dad ? jason : because i think he was actually protecting the case he built against sonny for killing claudia . now , see , your dad may wan na believe it was something more , that some switch flipped in dante when he heard that sonny was his father . but if anything , i think it actually made dante wan na prove the opposite , that the badge that he carries makes him a better man than sonny . michael : yeah , whether dante 's a cop or not , dad 'll still want him in his life . jason : you 're right about that . family is very important to your father . all the lies , all the betrayal of dante , it does n't matter , because once sonny found out that dante was his son , he loved him . michael : yeah , dad always trusted dante more than he trusted me . at least , with the business . i mean , he was grooming dante to take over , jason , a guy he 's only known for 3 months . i did n't get it before , but i get it now . i mean , even then , dad had this connection to dante . jason : you know your father loves you . michael : yeah . jason : i mean , you 're as much his son as dante and morgan , michael . michael : ah , you see what the difference is dad sees dante as a man . to him , i am just a kid who he needs to protect . [ scene_break ] sonny : are you gon na come at me through my daughter , exploiting her fears by makin ' me look like some kind of monster ? puttin ' your hands all over her ? that goes way beyond disrespect . kristina : johnny 's not doing anything wrong . sonny : johnny , johnny , do me a favor . let go of that hand . johnny : okay , but it is a public street , sonny , so i can hold her hand if i want . hell , i can do a lot more than that . sonny : she 's 17 . johnny : which is the legal age of consent in the state of new york . however far we take this does not concern you . sonny : car 's out there , okay ? just wait for me . kristina : i 'm not leaving johnny . sonny : i want you to go in the car right now . kristina : no ! i 'm sick and tired of you trying to run my life . why ca n't you just let me be happy ? sonny : with him ? ! kristina : at least i know johnny would never hurt me . sonny : johnny is using you , sweetheart . he wants me to suffer . he could care less if he hurts you . you think that 's a decent guy ? you should be with -- you deserve somebody better . let me take you home , please . [ scene_break ] maya : how did you pay for this ? ethan : you know , i do all right . maya : oh , is that why you 're ripping off the quartermaines ? ethan : well , see , i bought this place with profits from a big win , all right , and i sunk pretty much every dime into it . i was hoping my luck would hold , but i wanted a little insurance , you know ? maya : hmm . here 's a thought . do n't live above your means . ethan : oh , come on . where 's the fun in that ? i mean , we get one shot at this life , right ? why not make it as sweet as possible ? maya : hmm . ethan : you want some wine ? maya : got any red ? ethan : i 'll go check . maya : something wrong with that bottle ? [ scene_break ] dante : sonny 's a compelling force . for michael to go up against him like that took guts . i know grown men who would n't dare defy sonny 's wishes . imagine how tough it was for his own son to go up against him in open court , no less . judge carroll : the fact is that michael committed a crime , several if the continued cover - up is taken into consideration . now , he needs to learn there are consequences to his actions . dante : he just got the crap beat out of him by some sick freak who found his way into his cell . how 's that for consequences ? judge carroll : i appreciate your outrage , detective falconeri , but i suggest you direct it somewhere else . i 'm only trying to help michael . dante : yeah , by letting him rot . he 's young , vulnerable , the kind of kid that prison 'll destroy . where 's the justice in that ? judge carroll : i never said it was a perfect system . prison is full of sad stories and bad choices , but the law is the law . dante : the law 's supposed to help people , not inflict wounds so deep that they never have any chance of healing . judge carroll : what would you have me do , detective falconeri ? you 've already pointed out how compelling sonny corinthos is . if i release him , he 'll run back to his father and a life of crime , and where would be the justice in that ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sure johnny understands you , right , he knows , you know , what you 're going ' through , how you feel . but it 's an act . do n't buy into it . kristina : johnny understands me better than anyone . he had to watch his sister go through the same thing that i went through ... sonny : same thing that you went -- kristina : because of you . sonny : oh , really ? the same thing you went through ? i never raised a hand to claudia . johnny : no , you just beat her down emotionally until she finally broke , made her feel so bad about herself she eventually got desperate and crazy . sonny : your sister was crazy before i ever married her . you wan na blame somebody , blame your family tree . your dad was as crazy as it comes . kristina : do you even hear yourself ? claudia 's dead , and you 're still degrading her . sonny : johnny -- johnny knows that you 're vulnerable , and he 's using what happened with kiefer to make it look like that 's what i did to his sister , honey . johnny : i did n't make her think anything . she 's seen your temper firsthand . sonny : johnny is playing you , okay ? this is not a game . you 're dealing with a dangerous man . you should n't be anywhere near him . kristina : you act like you 're so much better than johnny , but you 're not . he 's a gangster , and so are you . he 's obsessed with money and power , and guess what . so are you . there 's one huge difference , dad . johnny knows how to treat a woman . sonny : you 're a teenage girl . he 's a grown man . this is sick . he should know better . johnny : in the eyes of the state of new york , we 're both consenting adults . kristina : i wan na be with johnny , and if you do n't like it , too bad . sonny : this is n't over . kristina : told you it 'd work . [ scene_break ] michael : so dad wants me to start taking correspondence classes , finish up my credits early so i can start college as soon as i 'm out of prison . jason : it 's not a bad idea . you should be learnin ' other things than just , you know , self - defense . michael : yeah , well , books are n't gon na keep me safe in here . jason : yeah , there 's more to prison than learning how to defend yourself , michael . i mean , bein ' stuck in a place like this can make you dead inside . i do n't want to see that happen to you . michael : what if it already has ? jason : two years may seem like a long time , but it 's not . you 're gon na have a life after this , i promise you , so that 's what you got ta focus on . when things get tough in here , you got ta focus on what comes next . michael : i 'm a convicted killer , jason . no college is gon na want me , no matter how much money dad throws at them . i would n't even go , anyways , if i got in . the reason you go to college is to figure out what you wan na do with your life . hell , i already know what i wan na do . my place is with you and dad in the business . jason : you can choose anything you want . why would you choose that lifestyle for yourself ? michael : it 's the world i grew up in . it 's the world i know . hell , with a murder conviction hangin ' over my head , it 's all i 'm good for . jason : are you really , seriously willing to risk being sent back to this hellhole for the rest of your life ? [ scene_break ] dante : you sent michael to prison so he would learn to respect the law and see that no one , not even the great sonny corinthos is above it . judge carroll : your point ? dante : sonny did everything he could to beat the system -- obstructing justice , tampering with evidence , conspiracy to cover it up . you suspend michael 's sentence , he 'll see that it 's okay to trust the system . he 'll see that telling the truth , doing the right thing , no matter what the cost , pays off in the end . he knows the difference between right and wrong , good and bad . i mean , if the point of all of this was to see justice served , would n't it be justice to give this kid a better chance at life instead of destroying him completely ? is n't that the real lesson you wanted for him ? judge carroll : if i did release michael , there would need to be certain restrictions in place . dante : your honor , whatever you want . i mean , electronic monitoring , daily therapy , whatever you want , i guarantee you it 'll happen . [ scene_break ] kristina : oh , when you mentioned the age of consent , i thought my dad was going to burst a blood vessel . johnny : yeah , the last thing a father wants to hear from his little girl is talk about sex . hey , look , i 'm sorry if i overstepped any sort of boundaries that you -- kristina : why are you apologizing ? i told you to play along and make it convincing . johnny : right , but it 's not right if it makes you uncomfortable . you 've been through enough these past few months . i do n't need to add to it . kristina : looking my dad in the face and calling him on his crap felt really good , like i was finally taking control of my life . johnny : you sure this is the way to do that ? kristina : you saw the look on my dad 's face . are you honestly going to tell me it was n't worth it ? johnny : it 's always nice to see sonny squirm . kristina : so what 's the problem ? johnny : you heard your father , and i agree with him . you are much too young to be hangin ' out with me . kristina : but we 're only pretending to be involved , remember ? johnny : yes . kristina : no feelings . no real contact . it pretty much eliminates any chance of getting hurt . johnny : but it puts you in the middle of me and sonny , and that 's a nasty , dangerous place to be , kristina . kristina : if the state of new york recognizes the fact that i 'm mature enough to make my own decisions , should n't you ? johnny : this was a one - time thing , okay ? it ca n't happen again .

i wish there was something i could do . morgan : kiki helped . she made me see that -- that , you know , it is possible for it to work , that i could raise this baby as my own , no matter who the father is . michael : because you still love ava . morgan : i ... michael : [ sighs ] and the idea of living with her and raising the baby together went out the window when she moved in with dad . morgan : yeah , i mean , can you blame me ? michael : no . wh -- where 's olivia in all this ? morgan : what -- you mean , like , how does she feel towards dad ? she 's done . i mean , just like i am with ava . now they 're all free and clear to shack up together . michael : yeah , but there 's -- there 's nothing going on between them , right ? it was just the one - time thing . morgan : i mean , they gave me this song and dance about protecting ava from her brother , but i do n't buy that . michael : so you honestly believe that -- that they 're involved romantically ? morgan : why else would ava and dad be living together ? kiki : you did n't have a choice ? did sonny force you to move in here ? ava : no . it 's -- it 's nothing like that . kiki : then what is it ? ava : kiki , i 'm staying here because i 'm in danger . i did n't want to tell you because i did n't want you to worry . that 's why i left town . kiki : are you serious ? ava : i was n't on vacation . i was hiding out on sonny 's private island . there 's a safe house there . kiki : and you needed protection from what ? ava : from your uncle julian . he tried to kill me , and he almost succeeded . sonny : how pathetic can you be , hiding behind your grandson 's illness ? julian : oh , come on . you 're gon na start that again ? sonny : you 're using the kid as insurance policy . i do n't get it . julian : look , fine . all right . you know what ? i 'm gon na help you out . how am i tripping you up ? sonny : how can you look in a mirror and call yourself a man ? or maybe you do n't do that . julian : [ scoffs ] sonny , we 're not friends -- probably never will be . sonny : probably ? julian : but you 're wasting your time hating me this much . sonny : no , i 'm not , 'cause you 're -- you 're as low as it goes . julian : oh . so do n't sink to my level . sonny : well , i 'm trying not to . i 'm trying to operate on an honorable level , but how can i do that when my enemy fights dirty ? julian : oh , hell . `` enemy `` ? i 'm not even your true enemy . sonny : what does that mean ? julian : [ sighs ] uh , nothing . sonny : you got something to say ? say it . julian : [ sighs ] sonny : ric 's dead . you 're not my true enemy ? is that what you 're saying ? who is ? sonny : do n't keep me in suspense . who is this true enemy ? julian : ava . did n't shawn tell you ? my sister was the one who shot olivia . sonny : yeah , i heard . julian : well , i have to say i 'm a little surprised that she 's still breathing . or is she ? when i stopped by the penthouse , place was empty . doorman said that ava had n't been seen in days . sonny : do n't worry . she 's still alive . julian : [ chuckles ] so , my sister puts a bullet in the woman you love and walks ? i mean , that -- [ chuckles ] i never thought i 'd see the day . sonny : yeah , it was an accident . julian : so ? sonny : she was aiming for franco . julian : aiming -- [ laughs ] you 're -- you 're far more forgiving than i would have been . sonny : please do n't compare yourself to me . but since we 're on the subject ... julian : mm . sonny : ... i have a request . julian : all right . sonny : stay away from ava . understood ? julian : any particular reason ? sonny : just do it . julian : so , why this , uh , sudden interest in protecting ava ? why is that ? kiki : uncle julian tried to kill you -- why ? ava : because of morgan . kiki : ew , this is n't some incestuous - jealousy thing , right ? ava : no . kiki : okay , because you and li creepy vibes . ava : oh , god ! no . kiki : [ sighs ] ava : morgan ratted me out . he told julian that i 'd been feeding information to sonny . do you remember how i told you that i had flipped sides ? well , as soon as morgan found out about me and sonny -- kiki : that you had inappropriate sex in the quartermaine crypt ? ava : must you keep repeating that ? kiki : i 'm stating facts . ava : he went straight to julian for payback . kiki : so , this is payback for morgan 's payback ? ava : no . no , not at all . actually , i owe morgan my life . he 's the one who saved me . kiki : he did ? ava : even after my mistake with his father was breaking his heart , he still loved me . but then he found out that i 'm pregnant , and that was the end of that . kiki : that is not how it happened . i talked to morgan , and , yes , he was upset , but in the end , he decided that he did n't want to lose you . he was going to help raise the baby no matter who the father was . he was going to step up . ava : i know he was . kiki : then why ? why are you here ? i still do n't understand it . ava : kiki , i told you -- it 's complicated . kiki : fix it ! there has to be another way than you staying at morgan 's father 's place to stay away from -- from julian . there has to be somewhere else you can go . ava : there is n't . kiki : [ sighs ] i do n't believe you . michael : i do n't see it . morgan : look , i do n't want to see it either , but it is what it is . michael : i mean i really do n't see it . i do n't think that dad and ava are romantically involved . morgan : dude , come on . michael : they slept together , yes , but they both swore it was a one - time thing . morgan : oh , they swore ? oh , then it 's fine . so -- so what ? michael : morgan , look at it from a business perspective . ava is part of a rival crime family . she and julian are trying to take over dad 's territory . they got you to plant a bug in dad 's office . and even if she 's no longer an outright threat , there 's no way dad 's gon na trust ava . morgan : i do n't think trust was , like , a big part of the attraction . michael : okay , look -- dad thought ava was taking advantage of you , his own son . okay , he was furious . morgan : okay , what do you want me to say ? i guess ava won him over . michael : dad hated ava . morgan : okay , just like mom hated franco , and look at them . michael : [ sighs ] carly : hey , let 's cool it with the name - calling , okay ? josslyn : why ? it fits . franco did a lot of bad things . carly : what things ? and where did you hear that word ? josslyn : `` psycho `` ? franco : yeah , that word . josslyn : from daddy . carly : your dad called franco a psycho ? josslyn : not to me . i overheard him talking when i was down under ... the table . carly : okay , did your dad know you were listening ? josslyn : no . carly : so maybe you misunderstood . josslyn : i know what i heard , mom . dad definitely called franco a psycho . carly : okay , can you stop saying that ? i do n't know exactly what you think you heard , but franco 's not a psycho . he 's not . he 's a very nice man who is kind , funny , and generous , and he makes mommy happy , and we 're gon na have a lot of fun living here together with franco . franco : it 's gon na be fun . it 's gon na be super fun , and we can start right now if you want . we could make a painting , you and i . you know , we can go bowling . or , hey , i 'll tell you what . i 'm going to let you display my iconic piece of pop art . josslyn : display this . franco : ohh ! aah ! [ groaning ] aah . silas : sam and i are gon na be fine . nathan : okay . silas : i mean , this is a challenge , to say the least , but we 're working our way through it . nathan : well , i just want to make sure that my sister 's feelings are taken into consideration . silas : they are . nathan : she did n't ask for any of this . silas : your sister and i shared a home . we shared a life . i never want to hurt her again . nathan : okay . i 'm gon na hold you to that . sam : no , i do n't have , um , an issue with you staying here . i 'm just wondering if it 's the best solution , given your feelings for silas . nina : yeah , i wondered that myself . sam : okay , well , there 's got to be another option . what about nathan ? he is your brother , and i - i assume he would help out . nina : well , biologically , he 's actually my cousin . it 's another surprise from mom . sam : yeah , i do n't think that makes a difference to nathan . nina : it does n't make a difference to me , either . but what does make a difference is that , um , he has a small apartment and two roommates , and i require round - the - clock care , and , um , you know , with his hours and his cop salary , he ca n't really do it . silas , on the other hand -- he can afford to help me out . sam : yeah . i mean , you -- you 're right . it makes -- it makes sense . nina : yeah . listen , i want you to know i meant what i said . i am in no way a threat to your relationship . you believe me , do n't you ? nina : i know we 're virtual strangers , nina : i know we 're virtual strangers , but please believe me when i say i 'm not out to ruin your relationship with silas . sam : yeah , i have -- i have no reason to disbelieve you . i know your intentions are good . but i also know that , until you found out that silas and i were in a relationship , you wanted to resume a life with him . nina : well , that 's true . he 's my husband . i mean , he was my husband . he 's , um -- i guess that bond never goes away . sam : look , i - i - i get it . i was , uh -- i was married , too . nina : oh , really ? sam : yeah . nina : you still wear your ring . sam : i do . my husband died . nina : i 'm sorry . sam : thank you . you know , it 's been really strange . i 've actually been thinking about it a lot lately -- i mean , ever since my son 's birthday party in the park . and i 've been trying to put myself in silas ' position . you know , what if -- what if it were jason ? what if i looked across that lawn , and i saw jason sitting there in a wheelchair ? how would i react ? nina : and ? sam : [ sighs ] you know what ? it does n't matter because he 's -- he 's not coming back , and i 've accepted that . i 've moved on with my life . nina : so then you know ... when you love someone , you never want to let them go . [ lock clicks , door opens ] carly : hey , you listen to me . i do n't know what 's going on with you , but you do n't get to go around kicking people . turn around and say you 're sorry . josslyn : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . franco : it 's okay . josslyn : sorry you 're a psycho . carly : josslyn jacks ! get back here right now ! josslyn ! you do n't get to talk to people like that ! franco : give her some space . carly : [ sighs ] are you okay ? franco : yeah , yeah . i 'm all right . i got another one . carly : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what jax said to her . i do n't , but i 'm gon na talk to her . everything 's gon na be fine . i promise . you 're not gon na have to wear shin guards the whole time you live here . franco : carly . carly : yeah ? franco : maybe me moving in here is not such a good idea . carly : really ? you 're gon na let a little girl scare you away ? franco : well , when you put it like that , yes . carly : [ chuckles ] franco : i do n't know . carly : no . everything 's gon na be fine . you start unpacking . i 'm gon na go talk to my awesome daughter . franco : okay . carly : [ chuckles ] everything 's going to be fine . franco : good luck with that . carly : trust me . sonny : i do n't need to explain myself to you . stay clear of ava . julian : oh , i get it . `` or else . `` sonny : well , it should n't be too much to ask , since you 're out of the business . julian : that 's right . sonny : uh - huh . well , i hope you are ... for your sake . kiki : [ sighs ] ava : why would you say that ? kiki : because i know you , and you always have a way out . you would never let yourself get trapped unless there was something in it for you . there 's always some agenda that you 're working , so what is it ? ava : is that really what you think of me ? kiki : do n't change the subject . ava : i 'm staying here because sonny can offer me protection . kiki : there are other ways of finding protection without sacrificing your relationship with morgan . so either morgan is right , and you are involved with sonny , or there is another reason why you are saying under his roof . i 'm gon na go with option `` b. `` ava : okay , well , you can go with whatever option you like because , obviously , my words mean nothing to you . kiki : i just wish you would be honest with me for once ! ava : i wish that you would stop letting your imagination run wild . i am staying here so i can be protected from julian . that 's it . that 's the end of the story . kiki : i 'll never get the truth out of you , so i should just go . oh , i almost forgot . congratulations on the baby , mom .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : sam planted a bug at elq ? why ? jake : well , the only theory that michael and i can come up with is that she 's working for whoever 's trying to take over the company . nikolas : i 'm very close to having a majority stake in the company . so , if jason gets the job , he wo n't be working for the quartermaines , he 'll be working for me . elizabeth : how did that person stay under the radar for so long ? and how did sam get involved , of all people ? jake : her past is n't exactly pristine , honey . elizabeth : yeah , but i 'm pretty sure she 's put that life in the past . jake : [ laughs ] maybe we do n't know her as well as we thought we did . but i am going to very soon . michael and i agreed the only way to get to the bottom of this is to put her under surveillance . elizabeth : you mean , spy on her ? well , for how long ? jake : well , as long as it takes for her to lead me to her employer . at least that long .

[ scene_break ] [ camera shutter clicking ] [ rock music playing ] nina : you look amazing , curtis . curtis : oh , well , i do my best . nina : yeah , you do . yeah . well , i think we found our cover model for crimson 's `` real men `` issue . curtis : well , you 're the boss . but , you know , just so you know , the more of this i show , the more of this you show . nina : okay . okay . i - i understand that . uh , we just -- we have to top our last cover of olivia breastfeeding leo , so it has to be provocative . you know what i mean ? curtis : i got you . nina : okay .

[ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] ava : what made you think it was all right to hijack us and whisk us off to your ancestral home ? huxley : well , i -- i wanted a chance to extend my hospitality , and since you did n't object , i -- ava : we did n't have any idea what you were doing . huxley : well , why did n't you say anything when i got off the m6 ? ava : i suppose we fell asleep . huxley : well , yes . a soothing ride in the country will do that . nikolas : you need to drive us to heathrow right now . huxley : i 'm afraid that 's not possible . [ scene_break ] sam : okay . leave it to nikolas to check in to what appears to be the only low- tech luxury hotel on the planet . this place does n't even use computers . they have a book for the registry . jason : really ? sam : yeah . i 'm sure the clients love it . less records . sam : okay . are you saying this is for , like , elite criminals here ? [ bell dings ] jason : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm saying it 's great for anybody who wants to stay off the grid , which is why i 'm sure they 're not gon na be too eager to share their information about their clients with you . sam : okay . all right , you stay here . jason : uh ... sam : what ? jason : are you gon na go do this all by yourself ? sam : all by myself ? jason : yeah . sam : i 've been running cons half my life . you , on the other hand , are a rotten liar , and most people look at you , especially nowadays , and they assume that you 're in the military , which makes -- no , it 's not a bad thing . it just -- it -- it makes you memorable , and that 's the last thing we want , right ? jason : okay . well , since you put it that way -- so kindly -- i 'm just gon na stay here . sam : okay . okay . jason : on the couch . by myself . good luck . sam : thank you . [ piano music playing ] sam : hi . i was wondering if you could help me with something . i 'm trying to connect with one of your guests -- niall carradine . could you ring his room for me , please ? man : my apologies . mr. carradine checked out this morning . [ scene_break ] nikolas : what do you mean it 's not possible for you to drive us to heathrow ? ava : you have a car that runs , and you obviously know where the airport is . huxley : yeah , regrettably , the weather has taken a turn for the worse , and it 's far too dangerous to journey back on these country lanes , what with the fog setting in . liable to drive off a cliff . but do make yourselves at home . i 'll make some refreshments while you make new arrangements . a - and not to worry . um , the house tour will include a visit to my wine cellar . and really , you do n't have a choice . there 's no one and nothing else for miles around . [ scene_break ] sonny : what 's this evidence that you collected at julian 's house ? paul : [ laughs ] look at you . you really think i can divulge information of an ongoing investigation ? you know the drill , right ? sonny : come on . i 'm gon na f -- i 'm gon na find out anyway , so why do n't you just tell me ? anna : okay , this whole thing is ridiculous . you know that he finds out everything that goes on inside the pcpd before even the commissioner does . that has nothing to do with his son , detective falconeri , who is above reproach . sonny : no question . anna : i 've been trying for years to figure out who the cops are on his payroll and got exactly nowhere because apparently , he 's very discreet and generous . sonny : well , you know , i 'm a little -- i 'm a little disappointed because , uh , i thought we were on the same page . anna : well , no , i 'm grateful for your help in this case . does n't mean i approve of you corrupting police officers . sonny : allegedly . anna : allegedly corrupting police officers . paul : anna , if you have a burning desire to tell him , then ... anna : i just think that we should , okay ? paul : [ clears throat ] anna : okay . so , a weapon was recovered -- a - a dagger of some sort was recovered from alexis ' house . sonny : mm - hmm . anna : and its measurements are consistent with carlos ' wounds . plus , we were able to get some dna evidence from it . sonny : well , that 's all great , but julian ... claims that there -- there was an alibi . paul : the alibi in question is not as ironclad as julian would have us believe . anna : we 're almost there , sonny . we could get justice for duke . sonny : nice work . anna : i just do n't want you to do anything to mar this investigation . sonny : i would not dream of it . [ scene_break ] alexis : i do not want you involved in this , and i do not want you to worry about it . kristina : it 's too late . the worry is here , and it 's real . just what is going on with the cops ? alexis : they believe that julian is involved in a crime , possibly . they got a search warrant , they executed it . that 's it . kristina : this crime that we 're talking about is carlos rivera 's murder , right ? i mean , they have to be looking at julian for that . alexis : they are . but i 'm confident that nothing will come of it . kristina : nothing will come of it legally , or nothing will come of it for you and julian ? if anyone can sympathize with choosing the wrong guy , it 's me . and i 'm not going to judge you , but you ca n't stay stuck in a relationship that is n't working . that diminishes you . you deserve better , mom . alexis : everything 's gon na be okay . i promise . [ scene_break ] julian : would you all excuse nina and me , please ? maxie : um , we have n't taken nathan 's pictures yet . julian : [ chuckles ] well ... nathan : nina ? nina : i 'm okay . hey , guys , i - it 's fine . um , i 'll call you with the dates of the actual shoot . curtis : you got my digits . hit me up . julian : [ chuckles ] so -- so you 're putting those two in crimson . you want to tell me what that 's , uh -- that 's about ? nina : sure , as long as you tell me why you put me on the spot with the police . julian : i do n't know what you mean . nina : well , the police commissioner herself came to talk to me about the night that carlos rivera was murdered . she said you told her that you were with me all night long . julian : mm - hmm . nina : we both know that 's a lie . [ scene_break ] spencer : i do n't want to talk about father . best to move on now that he 's lost to us . laura : spencer , we do n't know that . kevin : you know what ? i understand . everyone deals with difficult circumstances in their own way , and you do n't have to talk to me if you do n't want to . tell you what . go nuts . spencer : thanks . kevin : i do n't think there 's much to be gained by pressing him to open up , especially when he obviously does n't trust me yet . laura : but you agree that he needs to open up , right ? kevin : absolutely . with your permission , i 'd like to see him on a formal basis . he clearly is holding a lot in , and whether he knows it or not , it would do him a lot of good to let it out . spencer : just checking in . things are okay here . there 's a nosy psychiatrist trying to mess up my game , but do n't worry . i can work him . trust me . i 've got your back , father . i should win an emmy for this . no , an oscar . call me back . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'm not getting any service . huxley : pardon ? ava : i -- i 'm trying to call my business contact , and i do n't have a single bar . nikolas : yeah , nor do i . huxley : i - i 'm dreadfully sorry . it 's a drawback of country living . or is it a perk ? you know , sometimes you have to put down the phone and just go fox hunting , do n't you think ? nikolas : huxley , ava and i have very important business we need to attend to . huxley : yes , of course . i beg your pardon . i - i - i said that i would help you make arrangements . i 'm very forgetful . i will , uh , get some refreshments , and , uh , find a phone and check on the weather . in the meantime , please , enjoy the beauties of lynch manor . ava : dibs on the phone when that lunatic gets back . he can apologize all he wants , but i 'm gon na call the police and report our kidnapping . nikolas : no , you will do no such thing . [ scene_break ] sam : niall is n't here ? man : he checked out earlier this morning . sam : did he say where he was headed ? man : oh , i really ca n't tell you that . sam : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry to do this , but this is really important . he 's not picking up his phone , and his son , spencer -- he 's fallen ill , and ... it 's very serious . he 's only 11 years old . please . man : well , that 's heartbreaking . perhaps there 's something i can do to help . mr. carradine checked out rather in a hurry . i gather it was not his original intention to depart as quickly as he did , given that he asked me to arrange a flight out of the country for him . sam : a flight ? did he say where to ? man : i 'm sorry . i ca n't give out that information . sam : please . man : i must take my break now . best of luck to little spencer . sam : thank you . jason : any luck ? sam : here it is -- nikolas is on dutch air , flight 1105 to amsterdam . [ scene_break ] paul : i hope you made the right call by looping sonny in . anna : i want him to know that we 're making progress so that he does n't take matters into his own hands . paul : which he may still do . anna : no , trust me . if he wanted to kill julian , there 'd have been blood on the streets a long time ago . he wants julian to pay , but he also wants him to live just to keep the peace in his extended family . paul : right . because julian 's wife is the mother of one of sonny 's children , right ? anna : mm . paul : how many does he actually have at this point ? anna : uh , i do n't know . it 's five , is n't it ? or something . paul : with how many women ? anna : [ scoffs ] it 's not our job to take inventory of sonny 's personal life . we 're supposed to be building a case against julian . come on . paul : i 'm still not convinced of the advantage of telling sonny about the evidence that we 've collected . anna : because he has methods that are not available to law enforcement . he is as motivated to bring julian down as we are . and now if julian decides to leave town , sonny 's gon na be there to stop him . do n't you see ? [ scene_break ] alexis : diane , i need another look at that search warrant they used to pick up the dagger . call me back right away .

[ scene_break ] julian : what did you tell ashford ? nina : that i love her shoes . [ chuckles ] oh , you mean about your whereabouts the night that carlos rivera was murdered . let me see . i told her ... i told her ... the truth . yeah , i told her that you were here with me for a while . julian : mm - hmm . nina : the time was hazy because that was the night that i walked in on franco naked in the office , and i was a little discombobulated . julian : good enough for me . nina : but i do remember seeing the stain on your shirt . you said you spilled red wine on it , and i just figured that you had a drink before you got here . and you told alexis that you actually spilled red wine on it here in the office . i did have a bottle open . but you did n't have any . the stain was on your shirt when you arrived . julian : did you tell the police about the shirt ? nina : oh , uh , they actually did n't ask about the shirt . should i tell them ? julian : what i think you should do is , um ... stay out of matters that do n't concern you . nina : is n't it my civic duty to come forward ? julian : okay , cut the crap . what 's it gon na take to soothe your conscience and make you forget ? nina : you ... naked ... on all fours . [ scene_break ] nathan : look , i got to go to work . give me a call if julian causes you any trouble , all right ? maxie : okay . nathan : i imagine that we will probably find out what nina and julian are talking about soon enough . [ scene_break ] julian : probably should be flattered , but , you know ... married man . nina : do n't flatter yourself . i do n't want to jump your bones . i do , however , want to display them in crimson 's `` real men `` issue . julian : you 're kidding me , right ? nina : no . we 're putting a spotlight on the objectification of women in today 's society . we 're actually turning the tables . we 're objectifying men . all the hunks that pose for this issue -- they 're going to be literal objects -- an ottoman , a coat rack , a sofa -- you name it . julian : i see . so you want me to be one of those said objects . nina : oh , no . i actually see you as a coffee table with my feet rested right on top of you . what do you think ? julian : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sonny : you know all those lectures you gave me about , uh , being a criminal and having no ethics ? one of the many things that you got wrong is i would never compromise my family . alexis : [ laughing ] sonny : i would never involve carly in anything illegal . i would not let her be implicated for something that i did . i would not take advantage of her love to save my ass . alexis : [ laughs ] sonny : but you know what ? that 's me and carly . you and julian have your own special ... i do n't know what it is , but -- alexis : get out of my house . sonny : yeah , well , as soon as julian gets here , i 'll leave . alexis : i 'll call the police . sonny : uh , you 're gon na waste your time , because they 're on their way here . all the evidence that they took out of here , they can make an arrest . so what i 'm gon na do , i 'm gon na sit here with this magazine , and i 'm gon na have the best time watching that loser that you married ... get arrested . kristina : dad , what are you doing here ? sonny : uh , we -- we were just , uh -- your mom and i were just having a little chat . kristina : about what ? sonny : um ... nothing that concerns you . kristina : you sure about that ? sonny : yeah , you should probably -- probably -- you do n't want to be late to work . you know what i mean ? so you should probably get going . alexis : yeah , you really should . you should get going . you do n't want to be late , get your boss mad at you . come on . let 's go . kristina : okay . alexis : all right , sweetie . i 'll see you later . kristina : mm - hmm . alexis : all right . bye - bye . kristina : bye . sonny : so , you want me to make the call , or -- or do you want to get him here somehow , or ... ? alexis : you know you 're mistaken . sonny : yeah . how ? alexis : well , the police did take evidence out of here , but ... i 'm pretty sure it 's not going to amount to anything . sonny : so , a murder weapon would n't amount to anything ? alexis : there are lots and lots of knives out there . sonny : not one that has carlos ' blood on it . [ scene_break ] anna : yeah , we do n't need to worry about sonny . paul : you 're probably the first person in the history of this building to utter those words . anna : oh , i 'm more concerned about jordan . you know she 's completely cut me out of this case . paul : well , i 'm overriding her . when we bring julian in , i - i want you there . anna : you 're gon na override jordan ? for me ? paul : i 'm sorry that comes as such a surprise to you . you 're a valued member of my team , and as sonny said , uniquely qualified to handle julian . when he 's questioned , i want you in the room . anna : thank you . paul : i trust you , anna . i hope that someday , you can say the same of me .

[ scene_break ] laura : so , you 've been looking into the campus disco ? kevin : yes . i hope you do n't mind the intrusion , but i was afraid the -- the trail of helena 's gift might grow cold . laura : oh . n - no , i - i do n't mind at all . i mean , you 're as much a part of this quest now as i am , so , um ... so what 'd you find out ? kevin : that lloyd and lucy johnson are real . laura : [ chuckles ] i do n't know . how could that possibly be ? i do n't know . that 's exactly the same names as luke and i used as aliases on the run all those years ago . kevin : i do n't know . but there is a couple with those names behind the holding company that owns the old campus disco site . laura : mm . kevin : and they live in port charles . laura : that 's odd . you know what ? i 'm really sorry . i just ca n't concentrate on this when -- kevin : i understand . just when you 're ready to pick up the trail ... laura : i know who to call . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , thank you for your help . [ piano music plays ] jason : uh , were we too late ? sam : um ... yes and no . the gate agent said that the flight took off when i made the call . jason : so what 's the `` no `` part ? sam : um , `` niall `` never checked in . so i 'm thinking maybe nikolas got to the airport , and he booked another flight to cover his tracks . jason : or maybe he never went to the airport at all . sam : hi . man : were you able to locate mr. carradine ? sam : no , not yet . it turns out that niall never made his flight to amsterdam . are you sure he went to the airport ? man : i ca n't be certain . i did n't arrange mr. carradine 's transportation to heathrow . his companion did . sam : what companion ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : let me try . ava : be my guest . nikolas : these old estates have foundations that have settled centuries ago . probably stuck . ava : no . i told you it 's locked . nikolas : well , there must be some kind of mistake . ava : the mistake was ours when we followed that lunatic inside . now , maybe poor , hapless huxley just wants someone to keep him company , but i 'm not gon na wait around here to find out . let 's open the window . nikolas : hey . do n't bother . did n't you see when we came in ? in this section of the house , the ground is at least 50 feet straight down . ava : so then ... we are well and truly trapped . [ scene_break ] nina : so , what do you think of the concept ? we 'll sell a lot of magazines . julian : [ chuckles ] no , it really is . it 's -- it 's a great idea , the whole `` real men `` issue thing . um , i just -- i just do n't see my need to participate . i mean , you could grab any number of male models from -- nina : i do n't want male models . i want real men . julian : well , here 's an idea -- you go down to the lobby , and you grab the first five men you see . nina : well , none of those five men are my publisher . and none of those guys need an alibi . this is a bargain , julian . this could be a whole lot worse . i could ask you for a whole lot more . julian : and may still . nina : oh , time will tell . maxie ? hey . maxie : hi . nina : um , is my brother still around ? i need to talk to him . [ scene_break ] anna : so , what 's the angle this time , hmm ? paul : angle ? anna : yeah . paul : [ laughs ] does there always have to be an angle with you ? anna : uh , yeah , with you , absolutely yes . paul : ah . anna : are you trying to win me over or lull me in advance of your next proposition ? paul : ooh . ooh . this angle that you are alluding to -- i - i think it 's all in your head . if anyone has cause to complain , it 's me . anna : why , because i have n't fallen for you ? paul : oh , no , because you know you hold sway over me , and you 're not shy about using it to your own end . anna : i - if you 're talking about working together to bring down julian , yes , then i 'm all for it . but i 'm just trying to find out if you have something else in mind . that 's what i want to know . paul : well , and ... but if you really want to know -- nathan : forensics just came back with the test results from the dagger we took from alexis davis ' place . paul : and ... nathan : we got a match . anna : whose ? [ scene_break ] alexis : the police found blood on the knife ? sonny : that was my understanding . alexis : i think julian 's at his office . if you want to witness his arrest , it 'll probably go down there . sonny : that 's it ? nothing left in the righteous - defense department ? did you figure , alexis , this is the way it was gon na fall out ? or maybe you just do n't care that julian is finally -- and i mean finally ... getting what he deserves ? [ scene_break ] laura : okay . so , monday at 11 : 00 . kevin : i 'll make sure my secretary puts the appointment in my schedule . spencer : an appointment for whom ? laura : for you , honey . spencer : grandmother , you do n't need to trouble yourself . i 'll be fine . i am fine . see ? laura : honey ... i just want you to have someone who you can talk about your feelings with . that 's all . i mean , remember what a good friend you were to emma when she lost her little brother ? i 'm just hoping that maybe kevin can be like that for you . spencer : but i have n't lost father at all . laura : spencer , what do you mean ? spencer : father always tells me that my mother is with me even if i ca n't see her . now it 's the same for him . father will always be in my heart , and i 'm certain that wherever he is , he 's in a better place . [ scene_break ] ava : what are we gon na do ? nikolas : when huxley gets back , we 'll get this whole thing straightened out . ava : that 's one of your problems . you talk when you should take action . as soon as huxley comes through that door , we should jump him . nikolas : no , there is no reason to resort to violence . ava : yet . [ door opens ] [ scene_break ] sam : niall had someone with him ? man : yes . blonde . quite striking . another guest , from what i gathered . they left together in a limousine she hired . [ scene_break ] ava : huxley . huxley : and not -- ava : i think we -- huxley : not to worry . [ chuckles ] uh , snacks are on the way . my -- my chef makes a lovely cucumber sandwich . nikolas : well , did you find a phone ? huxley : do you know ? it 's the damndest thing . it seems i forgot to pay the bill . the -- the service has been shut off . people are always telling me i 've got my head in the clouds . ava : [ laughs ] huxley : i - is something amiss ? ava : a lot of things . nikolas : look , thank you for your hospitality , but we really need to get going now . i think we 'll take our chances with the fog . huxley : oh . i - i ca n't allow you to leave . we have n't even begun . [ scene_break ] sam : here . thank you so much for your help . i really appreciate it . man : good luck finding mr. carradine . sam : thank you . [ gasps ] guess who checked in the same night as nicholas . jason : who ? sam : ava jerome . [ scene_break ] nikolas : ms. jerome has business back in london . her absence will be noticed . now , i am happy to stick around and shoot the breeze with you , but she really needs to get going . huxley : my dear boy , do n't flatter yourself . i do n't give one whit about you . it 's ms. jerome that i want . [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan left for work , but i can call him . nina : okay , let me check . uh , julian , will that be necessary ? julian : no , no . you 've , uh , made your point . nina : okay . thank you anyway . maxie : oh , um , i 'm gon na head out and audition some real guys for the big issue . nina : great , great . hey , we need one less spot . um , julian has decided to step up . maxie : really ? ! that 's great ! i hope alexis does n't mind you displaying your goods . nina : oh , i think julian and alexis are on the verge of a very defining moment in their relationship . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you finally figured out that julian has been playing you all along , and now you 're ready to kick him to the curb ? lucky you . alexis : how am i lucky ? sonny : you got out just in time . 'cause if you held out any longer , julian -- he 's just gon na drag you down with him . [ knock on door ] sonny : bet you that 's the cops . [ scene_break ] paul : this is the culmination of a long journey . duke will finally get the justice that you 've sought . we 've got his killer in our cross hairs . anna : do we ? [ scene_break ] sonny : if you 're looking for julian , he 's not here . nathan : yeah , well , i 'm not here for julian .

officer : yeah , cell tower was down . blocked the road not far from here . spinelli : so , i imagine you did n't see many comings and goings . officer : not many , no . but this woman did ignore the `` road closed `` sign . i found her pulled over not too far from here . spinelli : um -- by any chance , was this the woman you saw ? heather : who were you referring to as a nutjob ? steve : mom , this is none of our business . heather : oh , i think it is . i mean , it sounds like this person is giving olivia trouble . this is the woman you love . we would n't want some volatile personality coming between you . olivia : that 's not gon na happen . heather : what a relief . olivia : is n't it ? no , really , that was about a , uh -- customer at the metro court who complains about everything from the soap to the light bulbs to the grip on the remote control , so -- steve : sounds like a real piece of work . olivia : she is , but do n't worry . i got it under control . tracy : luke ! no morning to sleep in . we have important things to discuss ! oh , he always does sleep like a bear in hibernation . luke ! that 's it . i 'm coming in ! todd : which one of these two makes me look like a man of wealth and taste -- `` a `` or `` b `` ?

i mean , that 's why we 're here -- to pick up the pieces . molly : yeah , sam , we love you so , so much . sam : it 's just that , when i was looking at my daughter 's grave at the service , i realized that -- i never got to see her . i never got to hold her . i ache for her , but i ca n't picture her face , you know ?

anna : oh , i do n't know . an hour ago , something like that . tracy : really ? anna : mm - hmm . tracy : huh . luke has n't gotten up that early since -- never . anna : well -- there is a first time for everything . shall i just tell him that you came by and then you had to go ? tracy : you know what ? i think this is happening for the best . i have been wanting to talk to you for a very long time . anna : about what ? tracy : what else ? luke . heather : i 'm surprised . why would your boss call you about a problem guest ? olivia : who else ? heather : do n't you just clean the rooms ? olivia : is she serious with this ? steve : mom , olivia runs the metro court . heather : i stand corrected . so , you find it fulfilling running a hotel ? olivia : yes , as a matter of fact , heather , i do . heather : glad to hear it . it gives me hope as i embark on my own job search . steve : you 're looking for a job ? heather : i ca n't keep mooching off my son now , can i ? olivia : um , are you sure that you 're ready for that , heather ? you know , a job is a lot of responsibility . heather : a job will keep me busy . it 'll give me structure and a chance to concentrate on the things that are really important , like rebuilding my life with my son . my relationship . sonny : relationship ? luke : should n't you be at ferncliff ? heather : i 'm out now . luke : so i see . heather : you and i standing here , it 's a gift , luke . luke : that 's not the word i would have chosen . heather : i 'm grateful for another chance . luke : chance at what ? heather : us . of course , i want a relationship . i want what everybody else has . and i 'm gon na have it . officer : that 's her . spinelli : oh ! uh -- you 're certain ? officer : yeah , you do n't forget a woman like that . spinelli : this is most fortuitous . did she give you any indication what she was doing out here ? officer : um , she had been at a bar , i think . must have gotten turned around because of the weather . good thing she pulled over when she did . if she 'd gone any further , she would have crashed into the cell tower i was talking about -- killed her and her passenger both . spinelli : i 'm so -- her passenger ? officer : lady was traveling with her husband . spinelli : pardon me , but did you say `` husband `` ? officer : yeah . lady you 're after was driving . husband was in the passenger seat . at least , that 's who she said he was . spinelli : that -- that is most peculiar , because , to my knowledge , ms . webber has not been married since her ill - fated union with edward quartermaine . officer : maybe that 's who she was driving around with ? spinelli : doubtful . they did not have a happy parting . officer : well , look , whoever the guy was , he was dead to the world . spinelli : okay . could you describe this man ? officer : yeah , he was on the older side , you know ? skinny , white hair , drunk as a skunk . anna : i 'd love to sit and chat , but i actually have to get to work . all this sleeping around -- i mean , you know , sleeping in -- it 's -- i -- police commissioner does n't get much chance to rest . tracy : well , you 'd probably get a lot more if you were n't sleeping with luke . anna : sorry ? tracy : in his hotel suite . anna : yeah . right . tracy : he snores like a freight train . anna : i had n't noticed . tracy : well , you will . you know what ? scratch that . you wo n't . anna : why is that ? tracy : because i am officially taking luke spencer off your hands . anna : okay . tracy : we 're getting back together . as soon as you are no longer an issue -- i do n't mean you `` you . `` i mean the police . i 'm not supposed to say anything , but luke wants me . he is afraid to commit . anna : oh , gosh , that is so unlike him . tracy : well , it 's the timing of it . it 's the whole anthony debacle . anna : mm - hmm . well , you ca n't fault him for that . tracy : yes , i can , because nobody knows better than you that we had absolutely nothing to do with whatever befell anthony . you let us go . anna : right ! that is , of course , until a body turns up . and the fact that anthony 's blood was found in your boathouse . and a text from you asking him to meet you at said boathouse . plus , then , of course , there was you and luke trying to dispose of the gun . tracy : oh , no . circumstantial . anna : but so compelling , do n't you think ? tracy : anthony has plenty of enemies , all of whom were much more likely to off him than luke or i , and if you would take us off your suspect list , you would be able to focus all of your time and all of your energy to finding the real culprit . anna : all right . and then when this cloud of suspicion is removed from above you and luke 's head , it will give you a chance to get back together . tracy : win - win . anna : yeah , except for one thing standing in your way . spinelli : you said they were out this way ? officer : yeah . you know , i can check the mile marker where i pulled her over . spinelli : that would be most helpful . officer : uh , what was that date ? spinelli : thursday , the 31st . officer : yep . smack between 12 and 13 . spinelli : okay . so this is the correct location . officer : mind my asking what it is this lady 's done ? spinelli : therein lies the mystery . but i am determined to solve it . heather : i thought you 'd be pleased i 'm making plans for the future . olivia : we are . steve : yeah , mom . i admire your initiative . heather : but -- steve : i just -- but i think we should take this one step at a time . you know , a relationship will come when it comes . right ? olivia : uh , yeah . absolutely . steve : i think we should just focus on , you know , getting a job . i mean , who knows ? maybe there 's an opening at the metro . olivia : ri -- i -- i will look right into that . heather : thank you , but hospitality is n't my thing . olivia : no kidding . steve : did you have something specific in mind ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : who else could sonny be unloading on ? olivia ? i mean , damn her for getting in the way . how about god ? god -- why did he allow this to happen ? there 's always franco . you know , his return from the dead was most inconvenient . shawn : alexis ... alexis : no . i really would like to know who 's sparing you from sonny 's wrath . shawn : alexis , you never answered my question . you know , we 've been together for a while now . alexis : we have . shawn : some of the best times of my life . alexis : mine , too . shawn : so , after all of that , what 's it gon na be ? are you gon na turn me in ? alexis : i ca n't .

[ scene_break ] dante : it does n't add up . if they were in on the hit together , why was sonny threatening carly ? lulu : maybe it was a friendly reminder to keep quiet ? dante : i mean , carly hates franco , and she 's not big on taking risks or dealing with consequences . she 's always had jason to clean up after her . lulu : i know , but now jason 's gone . dante : sonny 's not big on damage control , so , if he was angry at her , he must have thought she botched the hit . lulu : oh . hey . look who 's back . [ scene_break ] tj : oh , you know -- you know what ? i 'm sorry . uh , i 'm really sorry . taylor : [ laughs ] do n't be sorry on my account . tj : look , i just do n't want you to think i have expectations . taylor : look , i came to live with my brother , so i could finally spend a summer doing whatever the hell i want to do . tj : like ... taylor : meet new people . and by `` people , `` i mean guys . and who 's the first person i lay eyes on when i get here ? you . and i have n't stopped thinking about you since that day at kelly 's . sounds stupid , but it feels like it was meant to be or something . tj : it does n't sound stupid at all . taylor : i 'm sorry about molly . tj : thanks . taylor : okay , but we 're in high school , tj . i mean , did you really think you guys would be forever ? tj : i do n't know . i really do n't . taylor : [ chuckles ] people move on , okay ? molly obviously has . so , there are two things you can do about it -- sit around moping and being all depressed , or you can move on , too ... with me . tj : um ... taylor , i really -- i really , really like you . um -- taylor : so , then , there should n't be a problem . tj : it 's just that , um , you know , i do n't -- i do n't have a -- you know , anything . taylor : lucky for us , i have `` you know , anything `` right here . [ scene_break ] molly : i 'm freaking out over nothing , are n't i ? tj would never go for a girl like that , who looks like she knows something i do n't . and she probably does . rafe : taylor , huh ? i 'm starting to think i missed out . aah ! [ chuckling ] i 'm kidding . molly : i know . rafe : it 's good to see you smile again . and there it goes . molly : you 're really leaving . rafe : the great and powerful family court has spoken . i should probably get home -- although home is n't with sam anymore . it 's with my uncle , silas clay . molly : you know what ? forget clay . his name is mud in my book . rafe : [ chuckles ] says the author . molly : i got to say i hate how this one ends . rafe : me , too . [ scene_break ] alexis : my whole life , i have inexplicably been drawn to men who liked to break the law . [ inhales deeply ] ironic , is n't it ? dangerous in the worst possible ways . shawn : wow . that 's how you see me ? alexis : i did n't . you were my `` cake and eat it , too `` guy -- rough around the edges , but safe enough to be okay . shawn : until now . alexis : i am not okay . [ sighs ] shawn : but you said you could n't turn me over to the cops . alexis : that 's right . shawn : i mean , that 's got to mean something . look , alexis , we can get through this . alexis : my decision has nothing to do with you . shawn : then what does it have to do with ? alexis : sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : i did n't mean to interrupt . i was -- i did n't hear anything . lulu : oh , there was nothing to hear . sonny : how is she ? dante : uh , there 's no change . [ clears throat ] really the same . lulu : i 'm gon na run home and grab a change of clothes . you need anything ? dante : i do n't know . maybe some coffee that does n't taste like mud . lulu : okay . anything for you , sonny ? sonny : no , i 'm good . thanks . lulu : my phone 's on me . okay ? dante : okay . lulu : i 'll be right back . dante : all right . lulu : okay . okay . dante : [ sniffles ] [ door closes ] sonny : i do n't know why this had to happen to you . i 'm so sorry , olivia . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] shawn : sonny 's the reason you 're not turning me over to the cops ? alexis : attorney - client privilege . if i turn you in , it leads the police to him , which would not be in his best interests . obviously . shawn : and part of you wants to , huh ? alexis : yes . shawn : because i 'm a killer . alexis : yes . shawn : yeah , well , so are you . alexis : i 'm sorry . what ? shawn : it meant a lot to you . you trusted me that night . you told me about what happened with kiefer . alexis : oh . because he was abusing my daughter , and i was protecting her . shawn : and i was protecting carly 's . alexis : how ? shawn : you saw kiefer in your headlights , and you never swerved . alexis : i can not believe you 're doing this . shawn : you hit him , and you left him lying by the road . i mean , the boy might have lived if you 'd called the ambulance , but , no , no , no , no . no . you did n't . and he died . so , how the hell are you gon na just sit there , oh , and judge me ? we 're not that different , are we ? [ scene_break ] sonny : when you were off looking for lulu , and we did n't know what was going on ... [ sighs ] ... your mom , you know , helped me out a lot . she kept telling me stories about when you were a kid and how strong you were , even back then . dante : father / son camping trip ? she liked that . sonny : you know , i know this sounds kind of strange , but she was kind of like my lifeline . i know we have n't been together for , you know , so long and everything , but ... it scares me , you know , when i 'm not with her . i think she 's gon na slip away . dante : [ sniffles ] then why did you leave before ? where 'd you go ?

[ scene_break ] aj : so , when you told me you kissed your brother 's girlfriend , you , uh , meant her -- your cousin . michael : i did n't know she was my cousin . why did n't you tell me her name was kiki ? aj : i - i did n't think it was important . i 'm sorry . michael : this is a nightmare .

silas : is that what this is about -- you do n't want her here ? sam : no . i did n't -- i did n't exactly say it like that . nina : oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry . listen , i do n't want to put words in your mouth . it just -- i just figured if we just put everything out there and -- and we were up front , we could get through this easier . silas : yeah , you 're right . nina : listen , i would feel the same way if i were you . i mean , you 're in love with silas , and then his wife shows up , not to mention we 're living together . i mean , i would be insecure if i were you . sam : did i say that i was insecure ? nina : i 'm sorry . no . but is n't -- i mean , is n't that why you asked me to move out ? carly : do n't get me wrong . i - i am so happy that you and michael are getting along and you 're close again , because he 's your brother and you guys need each other , but living together ? morgan : okay , mom , that 's not what i said . carly : he has a one - bedroom . i mean , you do n't want to live on his couch permanently , right ? morgan : okay , no . franco : plus there 's the whole ex - wife thing , right ? i imagine kiki spends a fair amount of time at michael 's . morgan : no one asked you . okay , me and kiki are fine . thank you . carly : `` fine 's `` really different than `` living together , `` though . morgan : all right , please , can i speak ?

michael : you know what would be amazing ? if my family could have like two minutes without being buried in some crazy drama . kiki : yeah , i 'm with you on that one . michael : i have no idea what i 'm supposed to do . i mean , i feel terrible for morgan . he 's either gon na be a father , or he 's gon na have a baby brother or sister . either way , his father and his girlfriend completely betrayed him . kiki : but his father is your father , too . michael : [ sighs ] yeah . i do n't know what i would have done without him these last few months . kiki : your dad 's been incredible . michael : ever since aj was shot , he 's been there by my side and never left , despite what he thought aj did to connie . dante : you know , when my mother told me that you cheated on her , i mean , the last person literally that i thought possible was ava jerome . sonny : she told you ? dante : yeah . she told me you also got her pregnant and you moved her into the house . sonny : yeah , that 's right . dante : `` that 's right `` ? that 's it ? i mean , that 's all you have to say about that ? is there something wrong with you ? sonny : give it a rest . i 've gone over this with everybody 10 times over . i 'm not gon na do this with you . dante : yeah , well , you know , that 's too damn bad , because you 're gon na do it with me . olivia : so , i spoke to the church , and everything is right on schedule for the christening . yes , it is . lulu : [ sighs ] olivia : yes , it is right on schedule . what ? what ? what ? lulu : nothing . no . thank you for arranging all the details . olivia : honey , there 's obviously something up . why do n't you just talk to me ? tell me what it is . lulu : you just say the word `` christening , `` and it immediately all comes back . olivia : oh , of course . honey , i 'm so sorry . lulu : do n't be sorry . what are you gon na do ? are you gon na rename the ceremony ? olivia : yes ! yeah , we will . if that 's gon na help , i 'll call it something else . that 's fine . lulu : i just remember connie in that gorgeous gown . olivia : she was the sweetest thing , was n't she ? lulu : i 'm holding my daughter , and then a random stranger tells me she 's not my daughter , she 's maxie 's . olivia : yeah . lulu : it 's just still surreal . olivia : well , our family gatherings tend to be eventful , but that one really took the cake . lulu : i do n't know . i think that nikolas ' engagement party runs a close second . olivia : uh , yeah . true . do you want to see mama ? lulu : do you want to play down here ? olivia : let 's go see mama . rocco : [ crying ] olivia : it 's okay . oh , boy . lulu : he loves grandma . olivia : here 's a frog . there 's his frog . there you go , baby . lulu : wait . olivia : it 's okay . lulu : sit here . you sit here . olivia : that 's the guy . you got it . you know , i see maxie is back in town . how are things going with you guys ? are you guys -- you seemed pretty friendly at the nurses ' ball . lulu : yeah . we 're -- we are friends . we 're trying to re - establish trust . we 're texting and calling . we 're not really at the `` crash on each other 's couches and vent all of our problems stage , `` but i think we 're gon na get there . olivia : great . lulu : things are finally going both of our ways . olivia : yeah ? lulu : maxie has a hearing . olivia : oh . lulu : if all goes well , she 'll be getting custody of her daughter . maxie : i do n't understand . you have nothing to do with my getting georgie back . why would the judge want you here for the custody hearing ? nathan : i was just as surprised as you are . diane did n't fill you in ? maxie : no . this is weird . do n't you think that this is weird ? nathan : well , maybe not . i am your roommate . maybe -- maybe walters just wants to make sure that my job and my lifestyle are conducive to having a child around . maxie : that makes sense . nathan : right ? so do n't freak out . maxie : i 'm not freaking out . who 's freaking out ? not me . levi is on his way here , f.y.i . nathan : thanks for the warning . i promise to behave if he will . maxie : thank you . but i 'm sorry for what he did -- throwing the shooting in your face . that was wrong . you were just doing your job . nathan : i appreciate that . maxie : that is what you guys were fighting about , right ? nathan : i was just being a friend . levi : oh , come off it , mate . we both know that you want more than just a friendship with maxie . nathan : that 's what he said , right ? maxie : yeah , but i got the feeling you were fighting about something else . nathan : what else would levi and i be fighting about ? maxie : i do n't know . you tell me . levi : [ breathing heavily ] i think i broke the land - speed record getting here . what are you doing here ? maxie : nathan was just -- levi : you come to throw more of your rib meat in maxie 's face ? nathan : no . the judge requested that i be here . levi : why ? nathan : i have no idea . maxie : just like i have no idea why our hearing got moved up , but i would really like to . diane : that makes two of us . maxie . detective west . nathan : ms. miller . diane : and you are ? levi : i 'm levi dunkleman . nathan : [ snickers ] levi : problem ? nathan : no , i just never heard your last name , is all . maxie : levi is my boyfriend . diane : oh . levi : we met on maxie 's eat , pray , love . diane : yes . no , no , no , no , mr. dunkleman . as long as you do not jeopardize my client 's standing with this court , i really could n't care less who you are , where you come from , or how you and maxie encountered each other . my focus today is solely on these surprise proceedings . surprise is never a good thing in jurisprudence . maxie : so , you do n't know what 's going on , either ? diane : mnh - mnh . but we 're all about to find out . the hearing 's about to start . shall we ? olivia : how would you feel about that , if maxie got custody of connie -- or , sorry , georgie ? seeing them together all around town -- would that be difficult for you ? lulu : i loved georgie like she was my own . even though it took me a long time to accept it , she belongs with maxie . rocco : [ babbling ] lulu : just like rocco belongs with me and dante . olivia : well , i 'll tell you one thing -- no one is gon na pull anything crazy at my grandbaby 's christening again . this is gon na be the most boring , by - the- book christening in the history of the catholic church . lulu : amen . olivia : unless sonny tries to bring his pregnant goomah . sonny : you 're lucky you 're my son . i usually do n't allow people to come in here and , you know , give me orders . dante : i 'm not giving you orders , sonny . i 'm trying to talk to you about your cheating on my mother and moving the other woman into your house . sonny : it 's not like that , dante . dante : you know , my mother 's a wreck , not that you care . sonny : you do n't think that i feel bad about that ? dante : i do n't know . do you ? sonny : what do you want from me ? dante : i want to understand . i want to understand why you threw away your relationship with my mother over this thing with someone i thought you hated . sonny : i do n't know . dante : you do n't know ? sonny : i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na get into this with you right now , dante . dante : you know , you do n't do something this terrible to a good woman and especially not my mother , someone who 's compromised as much as she has for you . i mean , she 's been compromising herself since she was 15 years old , when you knocked her up and you walked out the door without even a look back . sonny : she did n't tell me . dante : yeah , you never -- you never bothered to ask ... which means you were n't there . you were n't there for her . yeah , you were n't there for me , but for her . but through all that whole thing , she still loved you . she became a part of a world that she swore she never would because she wanted to make you happy . sonny : and she did , and i loved her , and i still love her . dante : you got an interesting way of showing it . sonny : have you ever made a mistake ? dante : of course i have , but not one like this -- not one that i think could have easily been avoided . i 'm not even pissed just because of my mother . i 'm pissed because of your son . you know your son morgan ? have you forgotten about him ? sonny : no . no , i have n't . dante : you pretty much just imploded his life . sonny : i 'm not gon na explain myself to you right now ... dante : well , what about them ? sonny : ... because -- dante : are you gon na explain yourself to them ? ! sonny : you just do n't get it -- that 's why ! dante : then make me understand ! make me understand you -- how you could do something so damn hideous to the people who supposedly are the closest to you ! sonny : it 's because of connie ! michael : i hate what morgan 's going through , but i also want to give my dad the benefit of the doubt . he deserves that after what he 's given me . kiki : so , are you gon na talk to him ? michael : i do n't know . part of me feels like i should just stay out of it completely -- let them figure it out themselves . kiki : oh , i just hope morgan does n't resent you for it . michael : [ sighs ] yeah , especially now that we 're finally back on good terms . kiki : it must feel good . michael : yeah , it does . i missed talking to him -- you know , being the person he could come to . kiki : oh , i always wanted an older brother or an older sister -- a fixer , you know , that would just make all of my problems go away . michael : well , i do n't know about all , but i was able to help him with one thing . i was able to find him a place to live . kiki : why does he need a place ? i thought he was fine staying at your mom 's . michael : he was until he found out franco was moving in . kiki : oh . i 'm guessing he had a problem with that ? michael : yeah , and , honestly , so do i . kiki : as much as you two hate it , it is your mother 's decision . there 's not much you guys can do about it . michael : actually , there is . this does n't just involve my mom . it involves jax . morgan : i thought you knew that . carly : um , no . morgan : okay . well , dad and ava are living together now . carly : at his house ? are you sure ? morgan : yes . i saw her there myself , and to think that she was actually telling me the truth when she said she still loved me and that she wanted to raise this baby with me , regardless of who the father was -- carly : morgan ... morgan : no , she was lying . she was lying , just like dad was lying about there not being anything between them , and i 'm an idiot . carly : you 're not an idiot . morgan : yes , i am . carly : no , you 're not . listen to me . i promise you no way did your father move ava in there because he 's involved with her . morgan : how can you possibly know that ? sam : silas , i did not ask nina to move out . i was just discussing her options . silas : options of a place to live ? sam : yes . i mean , this is uncomfortable for her , too . i thought it would be best if we were n't in her face all the time . nina : okay . oh , my gosh . i do n't want to cause problems for you two . listen , why do n't i just give you some time alone to work this out ? sam : that would be great . thank you so much . nina : of course . sam : silas ... silas : [ sighs ] sam : ... say something . silas : why did you do that ? sam : why did i do that ? i - i 'm not even sure what that means . silas : i told you i feel responsible for nina and i need to take care of her , yes ? sam : yeah . silas : and i promised you i would not let her come between our relationship , yes ? sam : yes . right . silas : why would you come here without telling me and ask her to leave ? sam : that is not at all what went down . i came over here simply to clear the air . once it was out that you and i were in a relationship , i thought it made sense to at least talk about it . silas : i agree . i just wish you would have come to me first . sam : really ? like you came to me ? silas , your decisions affect my life , too , and i did n't get a say in that . kiki : obviously , your mother trusts franco . if she thought that josslyn , or any of her kids , for that matter , were in danger , i 'm sure she would n't let franco move in with her . michael : well , my mom does not have the best judgment . kiki : okay . even if that 's true , you just got done saying that sonny and morgan 's problems were for them to work out . why ca n't the same thing go for carly and jax ? if i were you , i would stop and think before you put yourself in the middle . michael : [ sighs ] morgan : how can you know the reason that dad moved ava in ? two seconds ago , you did n't even know it happened . carly : i - i just meant that i knew your father . that 's all , you know ? morgan : okay . whatever . i got to go pack . carly : you do n't have to pack , morgan . you do n't have to go . [ mutters ] franco : where are you off to ? carly : to sonny 's . franco : why ? carly : why ? because i have to talk to him . we are the only ones that know what really happened between him and ava , and ava moving in with sonny is not gon na turn out well . franco : i do n't think that 's our problem . come on . i just moved in . help me unpack . stay , please . carly : if morgan is gone before i get back , will you please watch josslyn ? franco : oh , yeah . that 'll go great . maybe she can come down here and kick me in the other shin . carly : i wo n't be gone long . i promise , okay ? i 'm not gon na be gone long . franco : she 's gon na grow up to be a soccer player . carly , come on . carly : hey , look -- i 'm the one that told sonny the truth . this is my responsibility -- at least more than anybody else 's . franco : i do n't know . i feel like i just moved in and now you 're taking off . carly : i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry . but i have to do this . it 's important . it is . sonny needs me right now . dante : you 're right -- i do n't understand ! you cheat on my mother , you move ava into this house because of connie ? well ? what ? am i right ? sonny , talk to me . sonny : forget it ! dante : i 'm not gon na forget it ! how can i forget it after what you just said to me ? ! what is going on with you ? ! what has this got to do with connie ? ! lulu : i was n't going to bring it up . olivia : what , my sad , pathetic excuse for a love life ? lulu : do not say that . the only one who is sad and pathetic is sonny . i ca n't believe he did this to you -- or morgan , for that matter . olivia : oh , tell me about it . lulu : ava ? olivia : i know . you know what ? i 'm over it . it is what it is . he did what he did , and at times like this , you just focus on the good things that are in your life , like this little casanova right over here -- and the doctor 's appointment that you 're going to . i hope you do n't mind that dante told me about it . lulu : oh , do n't be silly . olivia : so , there 's really a chance that you could have a little brother or sister for rocco ? lulu : i have to undergo a procedure to even be sure . olivia : but that there 's even possibility -- that 's so wonderful . i mean , that is wonderful , right ? lulu : yeah , yeah . it is . it 's amazing what science can do these days . i 'm not sure i should go through with it . levi : there 's nothing to be nervous about . maxie : well , then why is my heart pounding out of my chest ? levi : maybe it 's just something as simple as the judge had an opening in his schedule . maxie : i hope you 're right . levi : let 's look at it as one day closer to getting your daughter back , yeah ? bailiff : all rise ! judge walters : [ sighs ] be seated . glad to see that everyone could make it to this hearing . diane : yes , your honor , and , once again , my client would like to apologize for any inconvenience she may have caused the court . as detective west explained , it was a simple miscommunication between roommates . judge walters : yes , when he threw away the notice . diane : that is correct . judge walters : but it 's come to my attention that that may not have been the case . diane : i 'm sorry ? judge walters : i have reason to believe that detective west lied . diane : your honor , i 'm a bit confused . why would you now suddenly be questioning the veracity of detective west 's statement ? judge walters : i have my reasons . diane : which would be ... ? judge walters : ones i 'm not required to disclose to you . diane : might i remind your honor that maxie 's roommate is an upstanding member of the p.c.p.d . ? why would you now think he lied ? judge walters : perhaps to protect his roommate . maybe there 's more to the relationship than sharing the rent . maxie : your honor , no , no . that is not the case . nathan and i are just friends . judge walters : nevertheless , if detective west did lie , that means that you were very well aware of the notice , so not only did you choose not to attend the hearing , but you and the detective jointly made false statements to this court . nathan : your honor , i can assure you maxie did not know about the hearing . i did throw the notice away , like i said . this has all just been a huge misunderstanding . judge walters : very well . then i assume it would be no problem you giving that statement under oath . silas : that 's not exactly fair . sam : to you or to me ? silas : [ sighs ] as soon as i knew that nina would be staying here , i told you . sam : yes , and i appreciate that , but you dropped this piece of information on me before i could even process it . i just really wish we had a chance to talk this over . silas : okay . but with all due respect -- and let me just say you deserve the world -- i did n't think i needed to consult with you first . sam : you did n't ? silas : yes . listen , nina 's condition -- that 's my concern . it 's not yours . sam : are you kidding me ? i spent months trying to prove that you were innocent . it is my concern . silas , you are my concern . silas : you 're right . sam : thank you . silas : i 'm starting to realize you 're always right . you feel like this has been forced upon you , and i get that , but maybe , just for one moment , you could try to put yourself in my place ? sam : i have . silas : okay . imagine if your husband came back and he needed your help ... could you turn your back on him ? sam , i feel like i owe this to her . i owe this to -- to nina . and i know i 'm asking a lot here . but i just need you to try and accept it . michael : you 're right . kiki : sorry . what was that ? michael : it 's not my place to get involved . kiki : i feel a `` but `` coming . michael : if my mom does n't tell jax this week , i will . kiki : okay , fair enough . michael : [ sighs ] that you really believe in franco -- that blows my mind . kiki : i did think he was my father at one point . michael : yeah , for like five minutes . kiki : even after we found out we were n't related , he was still very protective of me , like someone else i know when i first met him -- actually , not when i first met him . you could n't stand me when you first met me . michael : oh , well , last i recall , i was n't your favorite person , either . kiki : yeah , but then it changed because you went out on a limb for me , and when someone does that , you do n't forget it . michael : no , you do n't . dante : i keep trying to figure out why you 'd do this -- why -- how -- how you could do something so cruel to the people you 're supposed to love , like there 's some big mystery around it , and there is n't , really . you 're just a selfish son of a bitch . sonny : is that what you think ? dante : that 's what i talked to lulu about . i told her the same thing . i said you 've done nothing but make all the wrong choices your whole life , and that 's why i never wanted to be like you , why i never will be like you . sonny : you want me to tell you ? dante : yeah , i want you to tell me . sonny : you 're not gon na like the answer . dante : i do n't care ! i just want you to tell me . stop being a coward and tell me what it is . carly : what 's going on ? sonny ? dante : sonny here , carly -- [ clears throat ] you 're just in time , 'cause he was just about to tell me why he broke my mother 's heart and his son 's -- your son 's , too -- and , apparently , it has something to do with connie , but that does n't make any sense to me . carly : really ? well , it makes perfect sense to me . lulu : if my condition is correctable , then dr. chu could do the procedure at the same time . olivia : well , that sounds really positive , yeah ? lulu : yeah . surrogacy is still an option -- obviously , probably the safest route . it 's just hard to really get on board with that , given what happened with maxie . olivia : yeah , yeah . i do n't blame you . lulu : i would just love to carry my own baby , olivia . olivia : honey , i 'm not gon na lie to you -- it 's pretty incredible . lulu : even with this procedure , this would be ... a really risky pregnancy . what if i miscarry ? i would be losing our last chance to have another baby . rocco : [ coughing ] olivia : you would ? you okay ? lulu : what ? olivia : well , you know , something could go wrong if you got pregnant , sure , but something could go wrong anyway . i mean , look at what just happened with patrick and sabrina . lulu : i know . i was thinking about that . olivia : honey , life is risky , and the only surefire way to lose is giving up without a fight . carly : i think it 's clear that sonny felt guilty getting involved with olivia so soon after connie died . dante : it 's not clear to me . carly : they were cousins , dante . i mean , i think that it would be strange for sonny to get involved with anyone , but olivia ? i mean , come on . and being the self - destructive person that sonny is , he just could n't handle the guilt . dante : yeah ? well , why not tell her and break it off with her ? carly : this is sonny we 're talking about . instead of having a conversation with olivia , he sabotaged the relationship by sleeping with ava . hell , moving her [ laughs ] in -- that was just the icing on the cake , huh ? dante : you got anything to add to this -- this what sounds like garbage to me ? carly : okay . believe it or not , i 'm just telling you like it is . dante : you know , it 's one thing to work through your guilt betraying connie 's memory , but to work my mother through it , someone who 's never done anything but love you for her whole life -- that 's not the way to go . [ door closes ] sonny : you did n't have to do that . carly : the hell i did n't . you were about to tell him the truth , were n't you ? sonny : you sure you do n't want one ? carly : no . i 'm fine . you are not fine . sonny : he just pushes my button , that 's all . you know , he 's good at that . carly : it 's a good thing i showed up when i did . sonny : it 's a constant battle . i want to get this off my chest , and i know that i ca n't because michael comes first . he can never know what i did to aj . carly : no . sonny : right . carly : but ava living here ? are you sure that 's a good idea ? sonny : what other choice do i have ? if i let her out of my sight , i 'll never see her again or the baby . carly : but look what it 's doing to you . you 're on edge . hell , what if you snap , sonny ? sonny : i wo n't . carly : okay . ava made it clear that she 's gon na use this time to get under your skin . we are only in the first trimester , all right ? can you handle this for nine more months ? sonny : every time i see ava , i want to kill her . i want to put my hand around her neck and just choke until she shuts up , but i ca n't because there 's a baby to consider . carly : do n't let her use the baby as leverage . sonny : she already is . she went to michael . she was gon na tell him the truth . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : i ca n't let that happen . i 've already lost , you know , olivia , morgan , maybe dante . this was supposed to be about avenging connie 's death , not about losing everybody i care about . carly : not everyone . sonny : [ sighs ] carly : i 'm still here . sonny : [ sighs ] morgan : where 's mom ? franco : she went to see sonny . morgan : that sounds about right . hey . if you mess with my little sister , you 're not gon na live to paint another -- franco : if you 're so worried about your sister , why do n't you stay ? morgan : 'cause you said you were n't a threat . franco : i 'm not . your mother loves you , morgan . she 's worried about you . she wants to keep you close . morgan : well , she should have thought about that before she shacked up with you . franco : i do n't care if you like me . you do n't have to like me . you do n't even have to be civil to me . but it would mean the world to your mother if you would stay . wo n't you just consider it , for her ? michael : you ever heard of the riverside district , between the pier and kelly 's ? kiki : yeah . it 's a sketchy neighborhood . i try to avoid it . michael : well , it has n't always been . my grandma bobbie used to have a brownstone down there . it 's -- well , it used to be a nice and affordable place to live . kiki : so , what happened ? michael : the housing crisis . homeowners defaulted on their loans . gangs became a problem , squatters -- you name it -- but elq was able to find a way to help the city and turn a profit . kiki : so , that 's what this is ? michael : mm - hmm -- the neighborhood revitalization project . we 're gon na tear down the old , decrepit buildings and in their place build high - rise apartments . kiki : wow ! that 's awesome ! what about the people that already live there ? do they get to stay ? michael : well , their rent will be increased , yes , but i think it 's a fair trade for making the area safe . but , anyway , i told morgan that if he spearheaded the brownstone 's renovation , that he could have a place to stay rent - free . kiki : that 's a sweet deal . think you could score me a room , too ? sam : i 'm trying , silas . silas : i know you are . i 'm trying , too . sam : i just -- i do n't want it to come off like i 'm unhappy that nina 's alive , because that 's not the case . i think this is amazing , and it 's something that should be celebrated . silas : but it 's complicated . sam : i just want to be with you . silas : i know the feeling . i ache for you . sam : okay . so , then , if nina comes with the package , i guess that i am okay with it for now . silas : thank you . sam : but , really , i mean , what 's supposed to happen -- we go about our business while she just watches , pining over you ? silas : i do n't think she 's pining over me . i think she 's more concerned about getting in our way . listen , i know this is -- it 's not ideal , but i think we can get through it . nina : sorry . sorry . sorry . sorry . i just -- i left my medication . i just need to get my medication . silas : it 's okay . it 's good that you 're here . i want to say something . diane : with all due respect , your honor , this is highly unorthodox . judge walters : requesting sworn testimony in a court of law ? diane : when it 's a cut - and - dry custody hearing such as this . judge walters : yes . well , i 'm getting the feeling that it 's not quite as cut- and - dry as you 'd like me to believe . nathan : i 'll do it . judge walters : you 'll testify under oath , knowing that if any part of this story is untrue , you 'll be committing perjury ? it could cost you your job , detective , to say nothing of possible jail time . nathan : i understand . swear me in . maxie : you do not have to do this . nathan : i know . maxie : [ sighs ] diane : come on . levi : i sure hope he knows what he 's getting himself into . maxie : this is wrong . i want to see georgie more than anything , but not if it means nathan has to lie under oath . diane : maxie , this is now our best hope . nathan knew the risks , and he made his choice . now sit . bailiff : do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you , god ? nathan : i do . nina : mnh . i took my medication . all right . sock it to me . okay . we 're serious . listen ... i will say this as many times as you need to hear it . i am not here to cause problems between you and sam . silas : i hope you mean that . nina : i do mean it . you had a life together before i showed up . i do n't expect that to change . silas : good . so i 'm gon na take sam out tonight . olivia : hey , honey . lulu : where have you been ? dante : um , just some work stuff . how 's my little buddy ? being good for his grandma and his mom ? olivia : he is the best . dante : yeah ? they bore you to tears ? tell me the truth . did i interrupt some serious girl talk ? lulu : actually ... olivia and i were discussing whether i should have the procedure or not , and i - i think i 've made up my mind . dante : and what 's the verdict ? lulu : if you 're on board , so am i . dante : really ? lulu : i want to find out if i can carry our child . carly : i am just as much a part of this as you are . sonny : why would you say that ? carly : i 'm the one that put the information in your hands . maybe i should n't have , sonny . maybe it was a big mistake . sonny : i 'm glad you did . i mean , you know , i needed to know . carly : even though it created this whole mess ? sonny : ava created this whole mess , and she 's gon na pay for it . carly : all right , but you need to be prepared , okay ? because she is going to attempt every trick in the book . she is . she 's gon na try and get in your head , and she 's gon na try and talk you out of taking your medication . sonny : that 's not gon na happen . carly : yeah , you 're damn right it 's not gon na happen , 'cause i 'm not gon na let it happen . sonny : oh , you 've made up your mind already ? carly : hell , yeah , i made up my mind . sonny , we have too much at stake here -- our sons , our family . ava 's not gon na win . sonny : no chance in hell . carly : you remember what we said to each other the night aj died ? sonny : when the chips are down , we got each other 's back . carly : i am with you every step of the way . morgan : me moving out is n't all about you , all right ? i do n't want to be anywhere near you , but it 's time that i stood on my own , and , thanks to mikey , now i can do that . franco : okay , and i get that , okay ? autonomy 's important , especially at your age . morgan : i 'm not asking your blessing . franco : i 'm asking for you to come by and visit your mother every once in a while . morgan : yeah , that 's fine . yeah , i 'll stop by and see her , and i 'll check on joss , too . franco : your sister and your mother are safe here . morgan : they 'd better be . they 'd better be . oh , and you know what ? if i were you , i 'd get used to my mom running off to my dad 's rescue like that , 'cause it 's always been their thing , and it always will be . franco : i 'm not worried about carly with sonny . morgan : maybe you should be . i just lost the woman i love to my dad . i would n't be surprised if it happened to you , too . michael : you want to move in to the old brownstone ? kiki : it 's been getting a little crowded at silas ' . it was already tight with rafe being there , but now his wife is back . michael : well , you can always come live with me . kiki : i 'm -- i 'm tempted . michael : okay . then give in to temptation . kiki : we 've been in such a good place , taking things slow . i do n't want to ruin it . michael : so , you think it a safer bet living with your ex ? kiki : whoa . okay . i would n't be living with my ex . yes , we would be in the same building . michael , you do know you 're the only corinthos brother for me ? michael : well , a reminder never hurts . kiki : oh , you need to be reminded ? tracy : well ... i see the new ceo of elq is getting loads of work done . | michael and kiki try to figure out why sonny would move ava into his house knowing that it would hurt morgan . neither of them thinks it 's romantic . michael thinks they should stay out of it . michael tells kiki that morgan is moving out of carly 's house , because franco is moving in . kiki says michael should stay out of it . michael tells her that elq is tearing down the brownstones in a distressed area and building high - rises in their place . he tells her that morgan is going to move into bobbie 's old brownstone rent - free as part of a pilot program . she asks him if there is a room for her . he says she should move in with him , but she does n't want to spoil their relationship . tracy interrupts their kiss . morgan tells carly that he is moving out , but he does n't tell her where he is going . he tells her to continue playing house with franco and that sonny and ava can do the same . carly is surprised to hear about sonny and ava 's living arrangement but assures morgan that sonny did n't move ava in for romantic reasons . carly wants to go to sonny 's house . franco says she should stay out of it , but she goes anyway . franco tells morgan that he does n't care if he likes him and he does n't even have to be civil to him but that he should consider staying for his mother . morgan says it is n't about franco . he warns franco that carly will always run to sonny 's rescue . he adds that he just lost the woman he loves to sonny and that franco should be worried . sonny tells the maid to let ava clean up after herself . dante confronts sonny about breaking olivia 's heart by sleeping with ava , getting her pregnant , and moving her in . sonny says it is because of connie . dante wonders what connie has to do with it . carly arrives and tells dante that sonny got together with olivia too soon after connie 's death and that instead of breaking it off rationally , he sabotaged the relationship . dante does n't buy it , but he leaves . |
dillon : that rocco , what a kid . he 's out like a light . does he always go to sleep that easily ? it 's gon na be okay . lulu : well ... `` okay `` is relative . my brother 's life is on the line , and i ca n't tell anyone . i 'm lying to my husband . i 'm lying to your mother . tracy thinks that my father left her at their engagement party , so she 's not only heartbroken -- she 's totally humiliated . dillon : she 's trying to keep herself busy with this elq takeover , but ... but , yeah , she 's devastated . lulu : how do you do it ? dillon , how do you look in your mother 's eyes and stop yourself from telling the truth ? because i honestly do n't think that i can lie to one more person . [ knock on door ] lulu : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] [ elevator bell dings ] elizabeth : selling michael out is gon na rank worse for jason that anything i 've ever done . nikolas : i seriously doubt that . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] oh , well , then , you do n't know jason very well . he could wake up tomorrow and remember everything , and i - i could get him to understand the rest . he would n't forgive me , but he would understand . but selling michael out , hurting him ? you do n't get a free pass with jason for doing that . you just do n't . nikolas : well , then we better make sure i get control of elq and keep jason away from the quartermaines . patrick : what did you do -- forget your password ? it 's kind of ridiculous you have to reset it every 30 days , is n't it ? elizabeth : oh , no . i 've got it . thanks . i 'm just a little distracted . patrick : okay . elizabeth ... hey . what is it ? [ scene_break ] tracy : oh , finally . sam : good morning to you , too , tracy . tracy : do n't `` good morning `` me . got anything for me ? did you find anything out about elq ? sam : [ scoffs ] yeah . as a matter of fact , i did . [ door closes ] jake : sam 's working for tracy quartermaine ? tracy : so what did you find out ? sam : um , is sabrina here ? she is the one who hired me . tracy : anything you can say to sabrina , you can say to me . we are on the same side here . [ telephone rings ] michael : give me some good news . jake : i know who hired sam to put that bug in your assistant 's phone . michael : well , who is it ? jake : michael ? ava : i sure hope i 'm not interrupting nothin ' , mr. q . [ scene_break ] ava : i can think of one very easy way to make sure i never think about morgan again . silas : yeah , what 's that ? ava : this . [ knock on door ] silas : come in . kiki : hey , dad , you got a sec ? silas : for you ? always . kiki : thanks . [ door closes ] silas : what 's in the bag ? kiki : it 's takeout from kelly 's . i thought knowing you , you probably forgot to eat . silas : well , you got me there . kiki : [ chuckles ] silas : look , not that i do n't appreciate sharing a meal with my beautiful daughter , but this is ... starting to feel a little bit like a bribe . what 's going on ? kiki : you got me . um , actually ... i wanted to talk to you about morgan . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , everything 's taken care of . morgan : mm . sonny : staff knows that you 're on the way . and the weather in atlantic city -- beautiful . yeah , so your timing 's really good . morgan : yeah , no , it 's a good time . sonny : and i 'm sure kiki 's gon na have a lot of fun . you want to come by the house , pick up the key ? morgan : actually , um , dad , about that ... i got to -- i got to cancel the trip . sonny : why , morgan ? morgan : because of denise . [ scene_break ] michael : rosalie ? ava : oh , do n't go all gordon ramsey on your assistant . i waited for her to take her little break before i slipped in . but while we 're on the topic of your staff , why do n't we talk about your nanny and why she refused to let me see my niece last night . [ scene_break ] silas : what about morgan ? did something happen ? kiki : you could say that . silas : tell me what he did . and before you start , let me preface by saying i knew he was never good enough for you . kiki : no , dad , wait a second . silas : listen , you say the word , and i 'll deal with him . kiki : dad , no , no -- god , no . i 'm the one who made the mistake . silas : that remains to be seen . kiki : well , uh , thank you , though , for going all dad there for a second . it 's good to know that you 're really in my corner . silas : always . so ... what mistake did you supposedly make ? kiki : um , well , morgan was planning this really sweet trip for the two of us , and he wanted to keep it a secret . but i overheard him talking to his father about it , and much like you , i jumped to the wrong conclusion . so he had no choice but to ruin the surprise . silas : well , that sounds a little bit like a disappointment , but hardly a catastrophe . kiki : yeah , but , i mean , still , i feel pretty guilty about it . morgan was trying to do something romantic , and i basically accused him of keeping secrets . [ silas remembers ] ava : we kissed . silas : you kissed our daughter 's boyfriend ? ! ava : no , i told you -- i had no idea that morgan and kiki were back together . silas : well , you may not have , but that horny little bastard sure as hell did . [ back to present ] silas : you have nothing to feel guilty about . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're an adult . i ca n't tell you what to do , but i can offer my advice . morgan : [ sighs ] sonny : stay away from that woman denise . she 's nothing but trouble , just like her sister . and do n't let a kiss mess things up with kiki . morgan : i know . believe me . i know how lucky i am to have another shot with kiki . last thing i want to do is mess that up . sonny : then we 're on the same page . morgan : yes . i would gladly stay away from denise , okay ? but kiki wants to spend as much time with her aunt as possible while she 's in port charles . she wants us to spend as much time as possible with her , and i ca n't ask kiki to back off of her aunt without explaining that i got close to denise . sonny : i would advise against that . morgan : yeah , i know . no kidding . but ... i mean , i guess i could just make myself unavailable when she goes to visit her or just ... focus on other things in my life that need attention . sonny : like ? morgan : michael , for starters . [ scene_break ] michael : denise , if you 'd like to talk to my assistant about setting up a meeting , i -- ava : oh , come on ! scheduling a meeting ? i thought we were getting along like gangbusters . michael : yes . yes . aj did like meeting her aunt . ava : yeah , okay , so ... then why did mary poppins bar me from seeing her yesterday ? michael : well , probably 'cause she was n't expecting you . ava : oh . well , you can tell your holier - than - thou babysitter to expect me today . come on , call her . and tell her i can see my niece . [ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina is upstairs with baby aj . sam : okay . well , i think we should wait . tracy : oh , sam , please . do not keep me hanging . all of this corporate intrigue is a blessing in disguise . it 's ... it -- it 's distracting me from ... the incident . sam : okay , okay . i will -- i 'll tell you what i know . rosalie did get a call from her boss today . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , i do n't want to pry . elizabeth : but you 're going to . patrick : i just have noticed that you 've been a little distracted lately , or worried . there 's something on your mind , and i 'm your friend . i just want to make sure that you 're okay . elizabeth : thank you . i appreciate that . but i 'm fine . it 's -- i 'm just thinking about jake , that 's all . patrick : he get shot at again ? elizabeth : no , thank god . and he 's been cleared of any involvement in duke 's shooting , so between that and not working for julian anymore , he 's no longer a target . patrick : that 's got to be a relief for you and the boys . elizabeth : oh , you have no idea . i just hope this new job is a good fit . patrick : yeah , i got to be honest -- i 'm a little surprised that michael gave him the job of head of security at elq . elizabeth : wait . you know he 's working at elq ? how did you find out ? [ scene_break ] tracy : so we have our man -- or woman ! sam : man . it 's definitely a man . tracy : and ? who is rosalie taking orders from ? sam : i do n't know . the call was cut off abruptly . i was n't able to hear enough to identify his voice , but ... tracy : but what ? sam : [ sighs ] something seemed familiar about his voice . [ scene_break ] lulu : nikolas , what a nice surprise . come in . mm ! what are you doing here ? nikolas : well , um ... our mother paid me a visit yesterday -- unexpected , since i thought she was still in paris . anyway , she told me that she crashed luke and tracy 's engagement party just to tell luke that she wanted him back . and he agreed ? our mother and luke are back together ? lulu : i was there . still ca n't wrap my head around it . nikolas : yeah . oh , i 'm sorry . you have a guest . lulu : no . nikolas : dillon . dillon : how 's it going , nikolas ? nikolas : been a long time . [ flashback ] nikolas : dillon is back in town right now . elizabeth : with his 11.5 % of elq . nikolas : i 'm so close to a majority , i can taste it . [ back to present ] nikolas : is n't this a nice surprise . [ scene_break ] kiki : okay , um , where did that come from ? i know you 're my dad and everything , but do n't you think you 're being a little bit too overprotective ? silas : you made an honest mistake . that 's nothing to feel guilty about . i mean , people jump to conclusions in relationships all the time , especially early on . kiki : yeah , well , it 's not really early for me and morgan anymore . silas : well , there was the whole marriage that he rushed you into while withholding the truth about you being my daughter . kiki : yeah , well , things were complicated . silas : the point is , you and morgan are still trying to figure out how to trust each other ... or not . sweetheart , if you came here looking for advice ... i 'm the first to admit i 'm ... not the best judge relationship - wise . kiki : i just need to hear that i 'm not being totally selfish for turning down this trip that morgan was planning . silas : you do n't want to go ? kiki : i just -- i told him that i would prefer not to leave town while my aunt denise is still here . and he was not too thrilled with my decision . [ scene_break ] sonny : morgan , is there more trouble between you and your brother ? morgan : no , just the opposite . i told you that me and michael called a truce . actually , i pushed my luck . i gave him a call , i asked him if kiki and i could visit avery , and he agreed to that . sonny : so you 've seen your baby sister ? morgan : no , no , no . not yet . i mean , we got to set a time . but he already let denise visit . you know , he 's gon na let me and kiki visit . so i figured that , you know , i could ask him if you could visit , too . sonny : i appreciate what you 're doing , but i do n't think it 's a good idea . morgan : why is that not a good idea ? sonny : he 's made it clear he does n't want me in avery 's life . morgan : okay , he 's eased up on me . why would he not ease up on you ? sonny : too much has happened . morgan : okay . sonny : i already asked for his forgiveness . you were -- how many times ? he does n't want to give it to me . last thing i want you to do is piss off your brother for my sake . he 's ready to let you see avery , right ? morgan : mm - hmm . sonny : why are you gon na jeopardize , asking him for something that he ca n't give ? morgan : that 's all i 'm saying . i 'm not going to jeopardize anything . sonny : he does n't want me in his life . but at least i have some peace knowing ... that he 's part of yours . morgan : dad , you and i ... as far as i 'm concerned , we 're a package deal . sonny : i get what you 're saying . morgan : but i got to do something . i got to try to make things right . [ scene_break ] michael : look , i 'm afraid this is not a good time for you to visit my sister . aj : well , i do n't understand ... 'cause you said that i could be a part of avery 's life . michael : actually , her name 's aj . ava : yeah . yeah , i remember . but why have you changed your mind about me ? michael : look , when we spoke before , i gave you my card . i told you to call me here at the office to set up a meeting . but you did n't . you went straight to the house . sabrina was n't expecting you , and i did n't give my permission . sabrina did the right thing by turning you away . ava : no , wait , wait , wait ! that little baby , she 's my flesh and blood . and you 're talking about scheduling appointments . i - i do n't understand why we got to be so formal . do you think that i 'm dangerous or something ? michael : look , technically , yes , you are related to aj , but you are still a stranger . ava : i 'm her aunt ! michael : yes , and i know next to nothing about you . look , i 'm aj 's guardian , okay ? i 'm ... [ sighs ] i 'm not opposed to you visiting my sister . i just need to be present to supervise . ava : okay . so let 's go to your place . i 'll see the baby , and you can supervise to your heart 's content . michael : that 's not gon na happen . i - i am in the middle of a major business situation here . you still have my card , though , right ? ava : yeah , yeah , i got it . but whatever this business situation is , you know , maybe you could -- michael : just call -- just call the office , and we 'll set up another visit . ava : when ? michael : i ca n't give you anything definitive right now . my assistant handles my calendar . [ telephone rings ] michael : i got to take this . i 'm sure you can see yourself out . [ ringing continues ] michael : hey , i 'm sorry you got cut off before . i 've dealt with the interruption . so you know who hired sam ? what ? [ scene_break ] tracy : sam , i do n't understand . sam : mm - hmm . tracy : if the voice on the phone sounded familiar , why ca n't you identify it ? sam : because i only heard him say `` hello . `` tracy : [ scoffs ] then what 's our next move ? sam : i do n't know . i do n't know . this is obviously someone that we know . it wo n't be long until we figure out who 's trying to take over elq . [ scene_break ] [ camera shutter clicks ] nikolas : seems like rocco gets bigger every time i see him . lulu : his daycare teacher says that he 's a born leader . nikolas : oh , gosh . thank you . sorry . dillon : oh , thanks . nikolas : [ grunts ] so ... ... you both were at the engagement party when my mother made her grand entrance ? dillon : it was unexpected , to say the least . nikolas : i 'll bet . i was under the impression that luke and laura parted on good terms ... meaning that they were civil with each other , but lived completely separate lives , no ? lulu : yeah , that 's what i thought , too . nikolas : she tried to explain the reconciliation to me , but she was vague at best . did she offer you any insight ? lulu : no , not -- not exactly . nikolas : well , what about your father ? lulu : [ sighs ] nikolas : it seems like he went from pledging his love to tracy to dumping her for laura in , what , 10 minutes . how does that happen ? dillon : this is luke spencer we 're talking about here . i mean , he probably would n't be able to explain it even if he was here to do it . nikolas : he 's not ? dillon : luke and laura went on a , uh , romantic holiday to celebrate their reunion . they left town ... together . nikolas : they what ? she was supposed to come back to the house and visit with spencer . lulu : um , i think it was a spur - of - the - moment decision . nikolas : now , this does n't make any sense . why would they reconcile , then turn around and leave ? most of their family is right here in port charles . lulu : you know how those two are ? nikolas : [ chuckles nervously ] [ sighs ] no offense . [ chuckles ] your father is thoughtless and selfish . but our mother is different . there has to be a good reason why she left . dillon : you 're right . there is . [ scene_break ] silas : i 'm sorry morgan 's disappointed , but it seems to me like you have a very valid reason for staying in town . kiki : i know , but ... he was trying to do something nice for me , and i shot him down after i accused him of keeping secrets . silas : well , you know , it 's nice that you consider your family a priority . morgan should understand that , considering how focused he is on his own family . kiki : i ... [ sighs ] i guess . silas : no , do n't guess . listen , if you ask me , he is lucky to have someone as amazing as you in his life . kiki : you have to say that . you 're my father . silas : no , if it was n't true , i would n't say anything . kiki : [ laughs ] right , you got me . you are one crappy liar . [ laughs ] oh ! thank you for the advice . i 'm just gon na enjoy my time here with my aunt denise , and then morgan and i can go away some other time . silas : that sounds good . kiki : am i gon na see you later ? silas : depends how my rotation goes here . kiki : all right . sounds good to me . i 'll see you later . silas : i 'll see you . kiki : bye . silas : thanks for lunch . [ flashback ] silas : she 's finally picking up the pieces with morgan , and now that lying little tool is messing around with her fake aunt behind her back ? ava : your chivalry is admirable ... although it might mean more coming from a man who had n't cheated on his wife ! silas : i 'm a father ! i 'm allowed to be as hypocritical as i want when it comes to my daughter . [ scene_break ] ava : `` you still have my card . `` `` my assistant takes care of my calendar . `` what are you looking at ? you may have won this time . but do n't count me out . never count me out . your great - grandson just ran out of here like a bat out of hell , and i have to make an appointment to see my own child . i got to hand it to michael , though . he 's no dummy . why pick a fight when you can stonewall ? i already know how this is gon na go . i 'll get my visits when he 's available to supervise , what , once a month , if i 'm lucky . if he thinks that over time , i 'll lose interest and go away , well , he thinks wrong . that is my child . that is my daughter . and i will be a part of her life if i have to rip your house apart brick by brick . you hear me , old man ? morgan : denise ? [ scene_break ] jake : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . what are you doing ? where are you going ? michael : where do you think ? you just told me that tracy 's trying to steal elq out from under me . jake : hey , count to 10 . okay ? count to 10 . michael : what ? jake : you do n't have the luxury of anger , so put your feelings to the side for the moment , breathe . think about it . the longer we play dumb , the more likely tracy is gon na be careless . just relax . michael : okay , now , i hear what you 're saying , but the way to deal with the quartermaines , especially tracy , is to confront them head on . [ door opens ] jake : michael , could you just ... tracy : michael . michael : i know exactly what you 've been up to ! [ scene_break ] patrick : sam mentioned that she ran into jake in michael 's office , and they talked about his new job . elizabeth : oh , right . yeah , jake mentioned he ran into her . patrick : yeah . kind of shocking to me , honestly , michael hiring jake as a head of security at elq . he 's got a criminal record , a blank résumé . elizabeth : um ... well , i ... they met while jake was staying here in the hospital , and i guess they hit it off ... patrick : yeah . elizabeth : ... which does n't surprise me , 'cause jake is a really nice guy . patrick : ha ha ha . you sound like sam . elizabeth : mm . patrick : speaking of , did jake mention that sam wants the four of us to have dinner together ? i think it 's a grand plan for me to get to know jake under different circumstances . you know -- when he 's not getting shot at . elizabeth : i heard about the invitation , yes . patrick : what do you think -- the four of us , dinner date ? elizabeth : actually , i do n't think it 's a good idea . patrick : why not ? [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] michael : you know , i convinced myself that you learned your lesson . after all that misery with luke , that you 'd realized that your first loyalty should be to the family , but you know what ? i should have known better . tracy : what are you talking about ? michael : oh , just admit it . you 're the one who 's been after elq this whole time . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you know why luke and laura left town . dillon : luke and laura did n't just reconnect . they 're engaged . nikolas : what ? my mother and luke spencer are getting remarried ? dillon : they said they were leaving town to go on a romantic holiday , but i think the real reason they left was for my mother 's sake . they had already jilted her publicly at her engagement party . there was no use in humiliating her more , staying in port charles , especially now that luke was marrying laura instead of her . nikolas : well , dillon , i ca n't speak for my mother , but what i can say is that i 'm sorry tracy got hurt . dillon : that 's nice of you , considering . i know my mother was never overly gracious towards you or any of the cassadines . nikolas : maybe not , but tracy did n't deserve what luke and my mother did to her . i wish there were some way i could make it up to you and your family . dillon : thank you . that 's not your responsibility . nikolas : anyway , let 's talk about something a little happier . what about ... what about that film career you got going on ? dillon : ups and downs . i 've worked on some good projects . i 've also had some that have stalled out . i 've got a great script that i would love to get off the ground if i could just get the financing to back it . nikolas : you 're a quartermaine . you 've got all the financing you need . dillon : first rule of indie films -- never put your own money into it . i would ask my mother to invest , but i just ca n't do that after everything luke has put her through . nikolas : well , then there you go . i know how i can make it up to you . dillon : how 's that ? nikolas : what if we could make an arrangement ... for me to finance your film ? lulu : you want to finance dillon 's movie ? nikolas : yes . why do you find that so hard to believe ? lulu : i think it 's a little surprising . movies , entertainment -- this is not something my brother does . nikolas : it 's a business opportunity . and let 's be quite frank -- my uncle victor 's disastrous clinic project cost the cassadines dearly . i 've been looking for other ways to diversify our assets . lulu : by financing a movie ? dillon : it 's a very generous offer , but i got to be honest with you -- i make mumblecore films . nikolas : i 'm sorry . mumble what ? lulu : do n't look at me . nikolas : i do n't know anything about -- dillon : mumblecore . joe swanberg , the duplass brothers . lulu : no . dillon : it 's a low - budget niche genre . not blockbusters . very independent . i 'm lucky if i break even . so i do n't know if you would make your return if you invested the money . nikolas : hey , listen , let 's not dismiss the opportunity just yet . i mean , you 're a filmmaker . let 's get creative , shall we ? dillon : okay . what do you have in mind ? nikolas : perhaps i can ... make a different kind of arrangement for financing . dillon : different how ? nikolas : i do n't know . you still own voting stock at elq , correct ? [ scene_break ] tracy : are you out of your mind , michael ? i am not trying to steal elq from you . michael : right , because that would be so out of character . sam : michael , where is this coming from ? michael : when you gave your shares up to jerry jacks , was that just an act ? i mean , how could you betray alice like that ? sam : hey , hey , michael . listen to me . tracy is not responsible for what 's going on at elq right now . michael : now , see , that 's the part that does n't fit here , because i would expect this betrayal from tracy . but you ? sam , how could you work against me ? sam : me ? you ? i would n't . you know that . michael : elq is n't only my inheritance . it 's danny 's , too . what would jason think about this ? sam : michael , please , please . listen to me , please . michael : you planted a bug in rosalie 's phone . sam : you know about that ? michael : yes , i do . jake caught you in the act . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what i meant to say is that i do n't know if it 's a really good time for -- patrick : i get it . elizabeth : you do ? patrick : yeah . you and sam have history . you both have children from the same person , that being jason . i would imagine that would get awkward at times . elizabeth : yes . patrick : [ breathes deeply ] look ... [ clears throat ] i do n't really have to tell you how i ... felt about jake -- his propensity for violence , the fact that he gets shot at . did n't really think very highly of him in the beginning . but he 's always been cordial . he 's always been polite and nice to me ... forthcoming , except for that weird thing where he had a vision of him and sam in bed , which we never really got answers for , did we ? elizabeth : no , no . but i know that was just a side effect from helena 's conditioning , 'cause , you know , there 's never been anything between jake and sam , so ... patrick : yeah , i never thought that there was . i just think it 's funny that they 're colleagues now ... working on the same side . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . what did you just say ? [ scene_break ] sam : well played . i actually thought i got away with planting that bug . jake : that was the idea , thank you . sam : i was just doing my job . and for the record , you know that i would never do anything to hurt you . you are too important to danny and me . michael : okay , so , then how do you explain the bug ? tracy : it was planted for your benefit . sam : not only is tracy not working against you , she 's not even the one who hired me . michael : okay . then who the hell did ? sabrina : i did . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey , kiki . kiki : hey , mr. corinthos . sonny : you looking for morgan ? kiki : yeah . he said he was gon na meet you here for lunch . sonny : yeah , um ... you just missed him . kiki : [ sarcastically ] great . he left this at my house . i was hoping i could get it back to him before he left . sonny : well , you could probably catch up with him at elq . [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , hey . yeah , uh , w - what a surprise . what are you doing here ? morgan : um , i was just -- i was gon na talk to my brother about something . what are you -- what are you doing ? are you yelling at edward 's portrait ? ava : [ laughs ] yeah , no . no , that 's funny , no . i just ... i 'm venting , that 's all . morgan : about what ? ava : [ breathes deeply ] it 's your brother . he wo n't let me see my niece unless he 's there to supervise , and he ca n't be there to supervise right now 'cause he 's got some kind of business crisis or something . morgan : mm . ava : yeah , well , you know ... but i should have known better than to get my hopes up . it was so nice the other night . i just rang the doorbell , and i introduced myself . and you let me into the house , and ... he let me hold her . oh , god , she 's so beautiful . and happy . just smiling away . and i swear , i looked into her eyes , and ... and i know it . i know she knew who i was . and i thought -- i do n't know . [ voice breaking ] i just thought that i 'd be able to see her all the time and that i 'd be able to be a part of her life . and now we 're talking about scheduling appointments and having supervision and ... what kind of relationship is that ? i mean , who knows when i 'm gon na be able to even ho -- hold her again ? ! [ sobbing ] morgan : hey , hey . it 's okay . ava : [ breathing heavily ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : sam and jake are working on the same side ? patrick : forget i said anything . patrick : elizabeth , i got to get to my rounds . elizabeth : no , please . this is important . i was under the impression that jake was just doing security for elq . and if he 's working with sam , sam 's a pi , and there might be something danger -- is there -- are they investigating something ? patrick : please , do n't make me do this . elizabeth : you remember that jake is not conscious of risk . so if there is something dangerous , it might not occur to him to tell me . patrick : i do n't think there 's anything dangerous going on . elizabeth : then what do you think is going on ? [ sighs ] patrick : you promise this stays between us ? elizabeth : of course . [ scene_break ] michael : sabrina , what ? why would you hire sam to spy on me ? sabrina : i did n't hire sam to spy on you . i hired her to spy on rosalie . michael : why ? is this because rosalie and i , we -- tracy : oh , please , michael ! give sabrina some credit . she 's not jealous . she thinks your assistant is a traitor . michael : no ! no way , no . rosalie has gone above and beyond for me . she 's always had my back . sabrina : okay , well , she might have at one point , but i believe that rosalie only took the job at elq so that she could feed information to whoever 's trying to take over the company . michael : sabrina , i - i appreciate your concern here , okay ? but i trust rosalie . she 's always been loyal to the company , she 's been loyal to me . sabrina : okay , well , that 's exactly the reason why i did n't want to share my concerns with you until i had proof . michael : did you find any ? sam : rosalie told you that nina refused to sell her shares , right ? michael : yeah , that 's right . sam : okay , well , that happened to be the same day that she paid off a very large hotel bill at the metro court . come on . sabrina : franco insisted that nina sold the shares . tracy : which means that rosalie must have bought the shares on behalf of whoever 's trying to take over the company . michael : so ... [ sighs ] rosalie has been playing me this whole time ? sabrina : look , michael , we 're gon na get to the bottom of this . i promise you . tracy : together . we 're a family . and as a united front ... whoever this corporate raider is does n't stand a chance , michael . [ scene_break ] dillon : i do have stock in elq . nikolas : i do n't know if you know this , but a few years ago , tracy and i were partners in a business venture together . lulu : relish . nikolas : that 's a very good memory , lulu . thanks . anyway , tracy explained to me that edward divided the voting stock among various generations of quartermaines . how much did you get , if you do n't mind me asking ? dillon : my generation , the grandchildren -- we got the largest share . ned , myself , aj , and jason each got 11.5 % . no offense , but no movie is worth that much . nikolas : i certainly have to agree there . but you , uh ... you have a production company , do n't you ? lulu : wait . a production company ? when did that happen ? congratulations . dillon : it 's just an llc . it mainly exists for tax purposes . nikolas : well , then there you go . what if ... i bankrolled your company ? say three films over the next five years . and then in exchange , i get a more stable investment . dillon : and what are you thinking ? nikolas : half percent of your voting stock at elq ? [ scene_break ] kiki : elq ? why would morgan be there ? sonny : well , morgan 's trying to convince michael to let me see avery . kiki : yeah , maybe . i mean , he convinced michael to let us see avery . come on . we just have to call and set up a date . sonny : well , you know , it 's great that you two can see avery . i 'm just hoping maybe i could do the same . kiki : i 'm so sorry about everything . sonny : no , no , no . kiki : you 've sacrificed so much for me and morgan . and , really , we never meant for this to get so out of hand . sonny : i think we should just count our blessings that nobody got hurt . kiki : absolutely . i ... i 'm grateful every day . and who knows ? maybe michael will come around eventually . morgan could get him to change his mind ... if he 's keeping himself out of trouble over there . [ scene_break ] ava : i should go . morgan : yeah , this ca n't happen again . ava : no , it ca n't . oh , hey . morgan : hmm ? you did n't say nothing to kiki , did you ? morgan : no , no . no way . i really do hate lying to her , but it would just hurt her for no reason . i do n't want to do that to her . ava : neither do i . morgan : thank you . you just look -- you look so much like ava . you do . it 's like i look in your eyes , and all the feelings i felt about it , they come back . like , all the baggage that destroyed us is gone . all i see is the beginning . and , god , the beginning was just so full of ... ava : [ voice breaking ] hope ? morgan : yeah . ava : yeah , no . morgan , we ca n't do this . it 's wrong . it 's wrong ! morgan : i know . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , what kind of trouble can morgan get into at elq ? he claims that he and michael have reached a good place . a meeting of the minds , if you will . kiki : yes , they did -- at the gym after a couple of rounds . sonny : oh ! is there anything i should be worried about ? kiki : mm , probably not . i do n't know . i 'll just feel a heck of a lot better when i get this back to him . and i 'll make sure that he 's keeping his hands to himself . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] [ morgan & ava make out on michael 's couch ] [ scene_break ] sam : so , you spotted me planting a bug . you did n't really give anything away in the conversation we had . i 've got to say i 'm ... almost impressed . jake : you 're almost impressed ? i caught you , and you did n't even know . sam : well , it 's too bad you jumped to all the wrong conclusions about what i was up to . jake : well , no , not exactly . i was right about you working behind michael 's back . no one said it was gon na be my job to know what your intentions are or what was going on in your little brain . sam : touché . jake : mm - hmm . sam : maybe we 're both not half as bad at what we do after all . sabrina : michael , i 'm sorry that i did n't tell you what i was doing . michael : no , look , you tried to warn me about rosalie , and i refused to listen . no , thank you for not giving up . tracy : i 'm sure this is all very heartwarming , but could we focus on the crisis at hand ? while we 've been busy chasing each other 's tails , the real enemy has made some serious inroads . michael : well , that ends now . whoever rosalie is reporting to is the one who 's trying to raid the company . we need to find out who it is before it 's too late . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so it was sabrina who hired sam to figure out who rosalie is working for ? patrick : mm - hmm . elizabeth : any leads ? patrick : not that i know of . but you know sam . she 's good at her job . i 'm sure she 'll come up with something any minute . [ cell phone beeping ] patrick : okay . i really do have to go . lucas needs me for a consult . so ... let me know what happens with this whole double - date thing . maybe we should go through with it . you never know -- we could surprise ourselves and have fun . elizabeth : anything 's possible . [ cell phone buzzing ] [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm not so sure about giving up my elq shares . i mean , it 's my family 's legacy . nikolas : no , no , no . i would never dream of taking that away from you . i just want a return on an investment that 's worth my while , that 's all . lulu : i know you 're just trying to help , nikolas , but having lived with the quartermaines , i know firsthand how much elq means to them . and tracy would freak out if she thought that dillon was trying to sell off his stock . nikolas : we 're only talking about a half percent here . he retains the remaining 11 . think about it . dillon : believe me , i am . nikolas : it 's a fair exchange for continuing to do what you love ... with the autonomy of working outside of the studio system . i mean ... if someone offered me this trade , i 'd jump at the chance .

[ scene_break ] sam : i know what it feels like to lose a child . i would n't wish that kind of pain on anyone , least of all jason . amelia : i was n't trying to imply otherwise . sam : well , then what was all that crap about `` be careful what you wish for `` ? amelia : i was just pointing out the horrible irony of the situation . sam : really ? because it sounded like an accusation to me . amelia : look , if anything , i was trying to reassure you , sam . people say things all the time that they do n't mean . you should n't -- you should n't feel guilty for wishing that jake would disappear . it 's understandable why you would feel that way . your life , your relationship with jason -- everything was much simpler before jake was born . but it does n't in any way make you responsible for what happened . look , i apologize if it came out that way . sam : no , no , no , please . look , i am sorry . i 'm sorry for coming down on you like that . it 's just when i think of that little boy being out there somewhere , i just want to -- amelia : maybe you should take the night off . i 'm sure jason could use the support . sam : amelia , if i go down to that station , i 'm going to have to admit to jason that i know that jake is his son .

[ elizabeth sighs ] jason : just look at me , okay ? i need you to focus , i need you to take a deep breath , and i want you to start from the very beginning . elizabeth : i already told the police everything i know . jason : you might have heard something or saw something that 's going to bring jake back . elizabeth : no , that 's -- i did n't see anything , i did n't hear anything . one minute jake was there , and the next -- who does this ? who takes a baby in the middle of broad daylight with his mother standing right there ? god , unless somebody found out the truth ? what if somebody took jake because he 's your son ? [ scene_break ] kate : look , um , clearly , we got off on the wrong foot as neighbors . sonny : whose fault is that ? kate : you could 've been more hospitable . sonny : yeah , well , you could 've respected the fact that my kids were sleeping in the house and stopped that stupid helicopter from flying over . kate : okay , see , now , here i am making a simple observation of how it must 've hurt you to see your kids with their stepfather , and you 're picking a fight in order to change the subject . sonny : okay , how about if i make a simple observation about you ? kate : oh , really ? about me ? sonny : yeah . kate : fine . go ahead . sonny : well , i ca n't help but notice that your life is full of work . you do n't have a husband , boyfriend , kids . kate : right . your point ? sonny : well , the connie falconeri that i used to know loved kids . she always wanted some of her own , right ? but that dream must 've gone away , along with your name when you became `` kate howard . `` so , the question i 'm asking you , ms. howard , do you regret choosing a career instead of having a family ? kate : you do n't pull any punches , do you ? sonny : i did n't mean to hurt your feelings . i mean , you do n't have to answer if you do n't want to . kate : no , no . no , i 'll answer the question . yes . i put my career first ahead of having a family -- i had to -- to get where i am today . and i rarely regret it , until i have an afternoon like today . sonny : nothing like almost having a soccer ball kicked at your head to make you want kids , right ? kate : hmm . your children may be ill - behaved and out of control , but they clearly love you . and your love for them is palpable . and after watching you with your sons -- makes me remember that i may have given up something truly wonderful . [ scene_break ] amelia : considering jason 's child has apparently been abducted , maybe it 's time that everyone is honest with what they know . sam : if and when jason decides to tell me that he 's jake 's father , i will be there to support him any way i can . that 's all i can do . amelia : jason needs your support now , sam . sam : oh , i hope this is all over soon . i hope jake is found , i hope that all of those charges against jason is dropped so we can get back to the way our lives were before . amelia : you mean living a lie ? sam : jason is going to tell me the truth . until then , i ca n't push it , okay ? amelia : you might not even have to . i mean , with jake missing , jason will probably just come forward on his own . sam : no . no , that 's never going to happen , he has too many enemies . if any of them ever found out that he had a son -- are you kidding ? jake would be in way more danger . amelia : the police need a motive , sam . if they know that jason is the father , they can narrow down the list of possible suspects . sam : no , the -- the only way i can help jason is to stay out of it , and , amelia , you got to promise me -- promise me you 're going to do the same thing . no one can ever know that i told you that jason is jake 's father . amelia : it 's -- it 's your secret , sam . it has nothing to do with me . [ sam sighs ] [ scene_break ] lulu : this is crazy . the police should be out there looking for whoever kidnapped jake , not investigating elizabeth . she would never , ever do anything to that baby . lucky : i want to believe that , but we think elizabeth may be suffering from postpartum depression . lulu : she is fine , she -- she loves being a mother . lucky : more than anyone , but before elizabeth went to the park , she told me how exhausted she was at taking care of two children instead of one . lulu : i can barely keep up with cam when i 'm baby - sitting him , and i am not a nurse , and i am not waking up in the middle of the night to feed jake , she is . of course she 's tired . lucky : there have been a couple of times where i 've seen elizabeth just cry for no reason . i mean , she 'd just been looking down at jake and she 'd just -- she 'd just burst into tears . spinelli : look , um , maybe elizabeth 's heightened emotional status is just due to hormones . lulu : spinelli is right . there is a very big difference between a few tears and doing something awful to your kid . lucky : i hate to believe that , but we have to consider every possibility . it 's the only way we 're going to find jake . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : god , this happened so fast . whoever took jake must 've been watching me for a while , just waiting for me to turn my back , and i finally did . jason : it 's not your fault . elizabeth : what if an enemy of yours found out that you 're really jake 's father and he 's going to use him against you , jason ? jason : i -- i think they would 've made contact by now . more than likely , this was just random . elizabeth : well , if that 's the case , then there 's no reason to give him back , right ? jason : no , elizabeth -- elizabeth : if it is n't about money , or this is n't about business , and somebody just wanted to take a baby to have a baby -- jason : okay , you need to just stop blaming yourself right now , and we need to focus on getting jake home . elizabeth : okay . i thought about telling the police . i thought if i told them the truth , then someone how the facts will help bring him home . but then if people know , it could put jake in even more danger . if the kidnapper knows that -- that he 's your son , he 's going to be so afraid that you 're going to come after him , he might do whatever he can to cover it up . do you -- do you know what i 'm saying ? jason : listen , listen . at this point , i -- i think it 's safer for jake if -- if nobody knows that i 'm -- that i 'm his father . but i promise you i will do whatever it takes to find our son .

[ scene_break ] sam : what are you looking for ? spinelli : uh -- security camera footage from buildings around the park . i 'm thinking if i can -- if i can hack into the feed and isolate a shot of elizabeth around the time of the disappearance , it may tell us who nabbed him . sam : oh , look , spinelli , i know you want to help , but i 'm sure the police are already looking at that footage . if they find out that you 're tapping into their system , you could be a prime suspect .

[ scene_break ] kristina : you think i 'm doing this show because i like trey ? michael : kristina , i 'm your brother , okay ? i know all the signs . you like this guy , and the fact that dad probably hated him on sight makes him irresistible to you . kristina : nothing 's happening between me and trey . at least not yet . michael : but you want it to . kristina : okay , i 'm attracted to him . how can i not be ? but it does n't matter anyway . trey wants to keep things strictly professional . michael : he does ? kristina : for now , at least . and i totally respect that , and -- so let 's stop talking about it and focus on how you 're gon na help me support my vision and make my dreams come true by signing the release . michael : like trey wants ?

[ scene_break ] anna : i most certainly am not still in love with robert . i have n't been for a long time . but that does n't stop me from caring about him . and if we were to -- you know , pursue this , i think it would be very complicated . luke : okay . all right , slim . what 's going on here , really ? are you trying to just let me down easy ? anna : no , i 'm just trying to be practical and realistic . just because you want something , or someone , i mean , it does n't mean that you should have them , does it ? luke : you know , i 'm a big boy . been around . whatever you got to say , i can take . this is incredibly complicated right now . anna : mm . luke : and where it could go , who knows ? but i believe that it could go somewhere . if you want to stop it before it goes anywhere , now 's the time to say so .

[ scene_break ] jason : sam , i know words do n't fix anything . but i truly mean them . so i 'm so sorry . sam : i did n't know if i should come to the funeral today . i just did n't know if i could handle it , you know ? and then i just kept thinking about all the people who loved my son , and they wanted to honor him , and that was -- he deserves it . and molly read this poem . jason : yeah ? sam : yeah , it 's called `` do not stand at my grave and weep , `` and i 'm just gon na -- i 'm gon na read you the end of it , okay ? `` when you awaken in the morning hush , i am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight . i am the soft stars that shine at night . do not stand at my grave and cry .

[ door closes ] nathan : look , your honor -- judge walters : a simple `` yes `` or `` no `` will suffice . diane : with all due respect , your honor , a simple `` yes `` or `` no `` to which question ? i counted no less than four just now . does detective west stand by the statement that he made at the previous hearing ? did he throw out the notice ? did my client have a knowledge of the hearing ? and then -- and then there was a fourth one which i ca n't remember . judge walters : point taken , counselor . it 's been some time since i 've practiced as an attorney . however , i do know the law , as i expect detective west does , as well . the penalty for perjury is severe . a witness who lies to the court can expect to see the inside of a jail cell . a police officer who lies also may lose his job and his pension , so , with that in mind , detective , please answer this one question -- did you or did you not lie in order to protect miss jones ? judge walters : detective west , did you lie to protect miss jones ? levi : if i may ... ? please . sorry . forgive the interruption , your honorable worship walters . judge walters : `` your honor `` will do just fine . levi : sorry , your honor . [ chuckles ] that 's how we do things down under . judge walters : and -- and who are you ? lev levi of the darwin dunklemans . and i 'm the first to admit that i know nothing about american justice . diane : and , as such , he should be forgiven this untimely interruption . he will , of course , now sit down and be silent . levi : yes , but in the interest of fairness , your honor , the reason we 're here today is not because of nathan . it 's maxie . and you 're deciding whether she 's fit enough to see her child . diane : which is why we should not interrupt the judge with any re of these pointless histrionics . levi : your honor , it 's been my privilege to get to know maxie over the last six months . i 've seen her grow by leaps and bounds as she 's dedicated her time and her heart to humanitarian causes across the globe . and is n't that what you asked her to do , your honor ? to prove that she could change ? well , i 've seen it . and if you give her a chance , you 're going to see it , too . i questioned the wisdom of maxie to seek a relationship with her daughter . but i was wrong . and this court would be wrong to not allow her to see her child . so please , your honor , let nathan stand down and let maxie see her baby . silas : no , that 's -- that 's great . 8 : 15 . we 'll be there . thank you . hey . nina : hey . silas : you , uh , need a little hand there ? nina : no , i just -- [ chuckles ] no , no , no . i - i have to figure this out on my own . i ca n't rely on you all my life . silas : you can rely on me . nina : nope . i need to be independent . i do n't want to come between you and sam . silas : hey . listen to me . i asked you to be here , and i want to help you . i 'm walking kind of a fine line here between trying to be honest with you and also not parading a relationship in front of you . nina : well , you just want to be with your girl . silas : you know , this is a difficult situation for all of us . but i think if we 're -- if we 're honest with one another , maybe we can make a way through this . nina : be careful what you wish for . [ chuckles ] silas : about ... ? nina : well , you want honesty , so i 'll be honest . it seems more than a little weird that after a 20-year separation with my husband , i am giving my blessing for him to ... take up with another woman . sam : molly ? what 's going on ? molly : i ca n't live with mom anymore , so i 'm moving in here . julian : what happened ? alexis : i walked into the house and molly 's bags were packed and she was headed out the door . julian : going where ? alexis : to sam 's . julian : well , i guess that 's to be expected . i mean , ric 's death is still ... fresh . but ... she 'll get over it in time . alexis : yeah , well , she 'll get over it right now if i break up with you . julian : it 's that bad , huh ? alexis : that bad . uh - huh . she blames you for ric 's death , despite the fact that he brought it on himself . and she made it very clear that as long as you and i are together , she does n't want to have anything to do with me . julian : maybe you need to break up with me . jordan : thomas . what are you doing here ? tj : i wanted to talk , but , uh , i guess it could wait . anna : that 's okay . we 're done talking . you just keep your nose clean , ms . ashford . do n't disappoint me . jordan : i 'm really , really glad to see you , baby . tj : that 's surprising to hear considering how you 've been avoiding me . jordan : i 'm sorry about that . i 've , uh -- i 've been busy . tj : too busy peddling art to return my phone call ? jordan : you know , let 's talk about that . tj : just tell me what was so important that you had to see me right away . jordan : what i wanted to , uh , tell you is , um ... i moved to port charles for a fresh start and to focus on my son . but i got involved with , you know , the wrong crowd , and -- and i - i fell into some bad habits . look , tj , getting arrested -- for me , it brought home just how fragile my new life is , and i - i 'm sorry that i gambled with our future . i will not make that mistake again . tj : okay . then prove it . quit this job . kiki : i ca n't speak for michael , but ... i forgive you , tracy . tracy : thank you for your understanding . michael ? michael : [ sighs ] look , tracy , ned and i did n't take the company to hurt you , okay ? we were just protecting the family .

[ chuckles ] it looked like he 'd rather have been playing football than enduring a birthday party . silas : he 's a tough kid . went through a serious bout of leukemia and came out the other side . nina : oh . so sad . he 'll grow up never knowing his father . silas : well , you know , danny and sam -- they have a lot of family . he 'll be fine . nina : mm . when did he pass away ? was it recent ? silas : must be about 18 months now , i guess . nina : oh . wow . then you and sam have been seeing each other a long time . silas : yes . nina : does it bother you that she still wears her wedding ring ? maxie : am i ready to be a mother ? that 's a good question , judge . deliberately missing my custody hearing would lead anyone to wonder about the commitment i was willing to make to my daughter . when i saw the notice , i actually wondered myself . suddenly , the day i had been waiting six months for was finally here , and i thought i would be excited , but i was terrified -- terrified that you would take my measure and decide that i was n't worthy of being a mom . or worse -- that i was . what if i was finally allowed to be a part of my daughter 's life and i could n't handle it ? what if i was bad at it ? or maybe i would be great . i mean , does n't every parent wonder ? do n't they try anyway ? that 's what i decided to do . because i love my little girl , and she deserves to have me . she deserves to have me around when she 's learning to walk or falling down , deciding what she wants to do with her life , when she 's succeeding or failing like i have done ... like everyone 's done . levi 's right . i 've de a lot of growing up the last six months . but i have a lot more growing up to do . i think i always will . but that 's life , right ? i 'm a different person than i was when i was pregnant and lying to my friends . i 'm a better person . and i truly believe that i deserve to be a part of my daughter 's life . so , please , please let me be a part of her life . | tracy returns to port charles early and tells michael and kiki that she caught luke during their honeymoon in the act with two masseuses and that she is getting the marriage annulled . michael tells her that after he has verified the annulment , she can come back to work at elq . tracy tells luke on the phone that their plan worked like a charm and that she is getting elq away from michael . |

[ scene_break ] [ beeping ] julian : hi . i know visiting hours are almost over , but i was hoping i could see my sister . epiphany : [ sighs ] okay . you can have a few minutes -- but after that , i have to change her bandages . ava : the worst part about this , other than the considerable pain , is hearing people talk about me like i 'm a piece of furniture . [ beeping continues ] ava : if i were a person , now , they 'd have to look at me . julian : well , i 'm looking at you now . i have to say , you look a whole lot better than yesterday . ava : [ laughs , sobs ] julian : come on . you 're not gon na let this beat you , are you ? i mean , you 're ava jerome . you can get through a little hospital stay . what the hell is this ? ava : it 's a dnr so that if my heart stops again or i stop breathing , then they wo n't do anything medically to resuscitate me . they 'll let me die . unless , of course , you want to put me out of my misery right now . [ scene_break ] sonny : what makes you think i want to harm ava ? griffin : i found you looming over her bed , chart in hand . i 'm starting to regret not calling security . sonny : well , i told you . i was visiting . griffin : you think i do n't know how you do business ? an eye for an eye , right ? that 's how it works ? and you know where it leads . i saw your regret for the path your life had taken just before morgan died . sonny : morgan is dead because of ava . i do n't want to hear your lectures , father ! griffin : look , i respect your grief , but not if you give in to your desire for revenge . sonny : okay , you know what ? you do n't have to worry , because i have no plans to kill ava . [ scene_break ] michael : what about dad ? carly : it 's good news , okay ? it is . it 's something you 've been trying to arrange , you know . i wo n't be keeping your dad 's business assets . i 'm gon na sign everything back over to him . michael : so , does that mean that you guys -- carly : we 're getting divorced . i just would n't feel right keeping them . they never belonged to me , really . and we just want this to be as friendly as possible . michael : oh , i 'm glad to hear it . but , uh , what changed ?

[ scene_break ] kevin : you , uh , you want to know my intentions for laura ? spencer : mm - hmm . are you serious about her , or is this just a casual fling ? laura : [ gasps ] spencer ! kevin : no , no , no , no , no . that 's a fair question . just to be clear , i 'm in no place to speak for your grandmother . so you 'll have to ask her what her feelings are about our relationship . but as to my feelings , i can tell you that i pledge my intentions will be honorable . spencer : define to me `` honorable . `` [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm fine , jason . i 'm not the one chasing after some assassin without a thought for my family . jason : whoa . that 's not fair . i 'm always thinking about my family . sam : we have two kids . if something happened to you , they would lose their father ! jason : sam , it 's ... come on . [ laughing ] you 're not gon na lose me . sam : that 's not a promise that you can make . jason : yeah , you 're right . nobody can make that promise . all we can do is live our lives and hope for the best . sam : [ scoffs ] okay . if you say so . jason : you know what ? i think that everything we 've been through the last few months has finally caught up to you and you 're exhausted . sam : what are you talking about ? i 'm not worried about you , because i 'm tired ! i 'm worried about you because you 're risking your life and it scares me ! jason : you do n't have to worry about me . whatever 's bothering you , we 're gon na fix it , okay ? i promise you that , okay ? sam : [ sighs ] jason : just calm down . [ scene_break ] julian : what is this , some kind of a gallows humor ? you 're trying to get a reaction out of me ? ava : relax , julian . it 's not like i 'm asking you to put a pillow over my face . julian : oh , no , no , no . you 're taking the legal way out . you know , ordering doctors not to save your life ! ava : that 's right , my life . mine . a life i 've lived on my terms . not at the mercy of doctors and nurses . julian : they 're trying to help you . ava : i know . what can they really do for me ? i 'm burned over half my body , julian . what can they do ? you see ? you got nothing to say 'cause you know it . you know as well as i do that the only thing i have to look forward to is a lifetime of pain . it 's the only reason that sonny even let me live . [ scene_break ] griffin : you wo n't regret letting go of your desire for vengeance . sonny : you think i 'm letting go ? griffin : is n't that what you just said ? sonny : i said i was n't gon na finish ava off , and i 'm not . you know why ? 'cause i do n't need to . as long as every time she breathes there 's pain , i can do with that . griffin : you 're taking pleasure in her suffering . sonny : no , i 'm not taking pleasure in anything ! she is where she is . that 's god 's will . but my son is dead , because of ava ! last weeks of his life , he was living in hell because of ava . she sabotaged his mental health , and it ended up killing him ! so the way i see it , the universe is balancing the scales ! griffin : i do n't see the world that way , sonny . sonny : oh , do n't tell me you feel sorry for that bitch . griffin : i know she caused you unimaginable pain . i ca n't pretend to understand the loss of a child . but what i do know is what our mutual faith has taught both of us -- that no soul is beyond redemption . [ scene_break ] carly : the damage has been done to our relationship . i 'm not sure it can ever be repaired . but that does n't mean we have to be mean to each other or hate each other . we deserve better than that . michael : no , yeah . i agree . i 'm very glad you realize that . carly : i 'm sorry . i know that you 've been trying to tell me that , and i 'm sorry you had to work so hard to get through to me . michael : hey , i did n't get through to you , mom . it 's something you had to figure out by yourself . carly : well , i 'm glad you stood by me while i did that . michael : always . carly : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] mm . [ laughs ] [ rustling ] carly : what was that ? [ scene_break ] kevin : well , spencer , you make a good point . honor as a concept is vague . spencer : mm - hmm . kevin : so let me be more specific . i love your grandmother very much , and i would never leave either of you in the lurch . i can promise you , spencer . i am in this for the long haul . spencer : does that mean you 're gon na marry her ? laura : you know what , honey ? i think that 's enough questions for now . spencer : well , do n't you want to know the answer ? kevin : spencer , come here . you see , both me and your grandmother have been married before , so that 's not something we want to rush into . spencer : why not ? kevin : because if we ever do make that leap , it 'll be forever . [ scene_break ] olivia : julian came to see me , basically demanding a visit with leo , which is bad enough . but then , alexis shows up out of the blue defending the man like he did not put her knife to her throat and try to kill her , like he has n't looked in her face and lied 100,000 times ! i swear to you , if sam had n't stepped in , i swear she would have offered to represent him . ned : that would 've been quite the turnaround . olivia : i 'm not giving up without a fight , ned ! you know what ? you know what ? i do n't need a lawyer from port charles . i got a cousin in soho who 's got a killer family lawyer . i know she 'll go to bat for me . ned : so , you are ready to move forward with this ? olivia : i do n't think i can afford not to ! i do n't know how much legal leverage julian 's adding up . ned : that 's not what i meant . olivia : well ... ned : are you sure a custody suit is the right way to go ? [ scene_break ] julian : what are you talking about ? sonny was here , in this room ? ava : mm - hmm . he made a point of letting me live . all the better to watch me suffer . julian : [ sighs ] that is just ... i do n't understand why you would mess with morgan 's meds in the first place . i mean , you had to know that would put you in sonny 's crosshairs . ava : i was n't thinking about sonny . i was thinking about my daughter . i did n't want her to feel tied to morgan out of some misguided loyalty . i needed to protect her ! are you gon na stand there and tell me that you have n't done things that you regret to protect your family ? i would take it back if i could , but i ca n't . [ sighs ] i just want this to be over . julian : ava . ava , hey . now you listen to me . that 's what sonny wants . he wants you to quit . do not let him win . ava : that 's pretty easy for you to say . you 're home at night and sleep in your own bed , and you can forget about what happened to me for a few hours at a time at least . i do n't have that luxury . julian : sweetheart , that 's not what i 'm saying . i just -- i just wish i could help you somehow . ava : i know . you know , you do n't have to be here . there 's no reason for both of us to suffer . julian : if you 're gon na be stuck here , i 'm not going anywhere . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know i respect our faith , and i did n't mean to say `` bitch `` earlier . but the way you 're talking to me , it seems like you do n't respect me . griffin : i respect everyone , sonny . that 's why i have to give ava the same consideration i give you or anyone else . sonny : right , but you expect me to forgive the woman who 's responsible for my son 's death ? griffin : if you 're following the tenants of your religion , then yes . sonny : it 's like what you said earlier . you do n't know what it 's like to lose a child . you do n't know what it 's like to see the woman you love who 's pregnant , and you see her go through the pregnancy , and you hold the little baby in your arms and you see him become a toddler and a small child , and then he becomes a fine young man . you do n't know what it 's like to watch your son , who has the same illness you have , conquer it and then have it stolen from him by some heartless piece of garbage . [ voice breaking ] you do n't know what it feels like for your son to die , because it 's just some stupid and pointless , 'cause someone messed with his mind . you do n't know what that feels like , father . so do n't stand there and tell me i need to forgive , 'cause i do n't know if i will now or ever ! griffin : forgiveness is the only way to heal . sonny : yeah ? you think ? you forgive julian ? when you look at him , the man who killed your father , do you see somebody worthy of redemption ? i did n't think so . griffin : look , i 'm gon na go . and you know what ? despite our differences , i 'll be praying for you to find some peace from your grief . sonny : and i appreciate your prayers . and let me tell you something about ava , if you think her soul can be redeemed . no . [ whispers ] she never had one to begin with . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : what is it ? what ? [ scene_break ] michael : you know what ? it 's probably danny . yeah , he and scout are visiting . he and annabelle the second are probably exploring . carly : oh . michael : last week , they put a hole through a wall upstairs and broke a vase . it was all ... carly : wow ! [ laughs ] michael : anyway , i 'm really glad you and dad are working through this , you know ? you 're always best when you 're on the same side . carly : yeah . i mean , it 's really important for us to put up a united front -- make sure ava 's punished for what she did to morgan . michael : yeah , i hope the da files maximum charges . now that nelle 's given her statement , i 'm sure those charges are gon na stick . carly : statement wo n't mean anything if nelle does n't testify . michael : she will . carly : you never told me what you were doing in nelle 's hospital room . were you just being kind ? that 's it , right ? i mean , you do n't have feelings for nelle ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey . jason : hey . sam : hi . jason : so luckily , monica said no problem , the kids can stay the night . sam : oh , good . she did n't ask why you were calling ? jason : i told her we needed a night to ourselves . sam : okay . i was thinking , and you were probably right , of course . i was worried about you , and it does n't help when i 've only had , like , three or four hours of sleep a night . jason : you mean three or four hours if you 're lucky . sam : [ laughs ] my mom told me with two kids it was three times the work , and i should 've believed her . jason : yeah . you know what ? maybe you should just turn in early . catch up on lost time . sam : speaking of lost time , i have something that i want to kind of make up for . i snapped at you earlier today , and i wanted to tell you that i am sorry . you were protecting jake , and that 's all you could do . and i overreacted just a little . [ laughs ] but it 's only because i love you so much , and i do n't ever want to lose you . jason : you 're never gon na lose me . sam : promise ? jason : i promise . i love you . [ scene_break ] spencer : it 's only natural that dr. collins would love you , but that does n't necessarily mean that you love him , too . laura : you know , i do n't think this is really your business . spencer : well , it is if you accept his invitation to live together because of me . laura : why would i do that ? spencer : grandmother , i know you know that i 'm not happy living with aunt lulu and uncle dante . and i 'm definitely not happy sharing a room with rocco . but maybe you think that moving in with dr. collins would solve our housing dilemma , but i would n't want you to get into a romantic relationship with somebody just because you want to put a roof over my head . laura : [ laughs ] no , honey . come here . come here . that 's not how it is , okay ? i want to move in with kevin , because i love him . i love him very much , and that 's all i 'm gon na say about this . now , as far as our housing arrangement , i think you do have a right to voice your opinion on that one . but i will make the final decision . okay ? so , what do you think ? [ scene_break ] michael : we all know what nelle did , and we all know it was wrong , right ? we 've had to wade through the fallout . but so has nelle . look , she 's trying to turn her life around . she deserves credit for that , mom ! carly : you 're a good man . you are . you have a much more forgiving soul than i ever did . if someone ever hurt me , all i wanted to do was hurt them back . guess that 's why your dad and i got along so well . here 's what i know , michael . nelle set out to sabotage our family , and she succeeded . if you let her in , she 's gon na do the same thing to you . she will hurt you , michael . [ cell phone rings ] carly : hello ? sonny : carly ? it 's me . i have to see you right now . it 's important . carly : okay . i 'll be right there . sorry , i got to go . michael : yeah , i 'll walk you out . carly : no , no , that 's okay . i parked by the gatehouse . i do n't feel like walking through the house . i 'm just gon na go out the terrace . michael : all right . carly : i love you . michael : i love you , too . i know . okay . [ sighs ] nelle : [ sighs ] michael : hey . so , uh , how much of that did you hear ? nelle : enough . [ scene_break ] olivia : the last thing that i want is to get into some knock - down , drag - out custody battle with julian , but i do n't think i have any choice . he will not listen to reason . believe me , i have tried . ned : i think that we have to be as rational as possible . olivia : are you saying that i am being irrational ? ned : no . no . what i 'm saying is that right now , you have full custody of leo . and any visitation that julian has is at your discretion . if you take julian to family court and you lose , they could award him joint custody . olivia : so , what am i supposed to do ? ned : be patient . olivia : yeah . that 's easier said than done . ned : okay , liv . i know it 's not your strong suit , but if you can just wait until after julian goes to trial . because if he 's found guilty of everything that he 's been charged with , you could ask the court to strip him of all of his rights . olivia : yeah , well , that 's a really good plan except for one thing . what if he 's not found guilty ? ned : then we 'll deal with that then . okay ? together . and as far as keeping leo safe from julian 's enemies , there 's no place safer than the quartermaine compound . we have staff . we have security . if it makes you feel any better , we can even dig a moat . [ laughs ] olivia : [ sighs ] you know , we 're still not moving into that place until you and i are officially hitched . ned : you and leo spend every night there . olivia : i know , but it 's not the same as filling out change - of - address forms and clearing out closets and all that good stuff . that 's got to wait till we are married . ned : well , we better get married soon , because i do n't want to spend another minute without you -- closets and all . olivia : mmm . [ scene_break ] julian : i know things seem hopeless right now , but i mean , you have to admit that we 've been in worse jams than this before . ava : hmm ! when ? julian : we 've both been presumed dead . we 're gon na get through this together . i promise . [ door opens ] ava : thank you . epiphany : i need to see to your sister 's bandages . you can wait outside if you 'd like . julian : i will . you hang tough . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] sonny : redemption ? i did n't think so . [ scene_break ] sam : jason 's not safe . your family 's not safe . danger is everywhere . you have to protect them . [ scene_break ] epiphany : no sign of infection . that 's good . okay . i need to re - bandage your wound . ava : wait . epiphany : what 's wrong ? ava : i 'd like to see what i look like . [ scene_break ] griffin : mr. jerome . julian : you do n't need to leave . i know you 're one of ava 's doctors , and i do n't want to impede her treatment so i 'll leave . griffin : no , i just -- i 'm off duty . i just came by to see how your sister was doing . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . what 's going on ? why did you need to see me right away ? is everything okay ? sonny : i got a call from the casino manager on the island , and there 's some issue with the liquor tariffs . so they ca n't do any more shipments unless somebody signs the paperwork , and it 's got to be notarized on the property . carly : what does this have to do with me ? sonny : well , i mean , you 're the owner . [ scene_break ] michael : i hate to break it to you , but you do not have a future as either a thief or a spy . nelle : well , i 'm not usually this clumsy , but let 's face it . your mom makes me super nervous . michael : yeah , well , there 's no cure for that except for , i guess , time . nelle : funny , i always think of you as a realist . michael : yeah . as opposed to ... nelle : completely delusional ? your mom 's never gon na forgive me . michael : [ sighs ] okay . maybe `` forgive `` is a bit of a strong word , but `` tolerate , `` i think , is definitely achievable . nelle : i would just prefer to avoid if at all possible . michael : and yet , you came to see me here . well , true , this is not my mom 's house , but she is here a lot . fair warning . nelle : oh . well , i try and be more careful next time . michael : there 's gon na be a next time ? nelle : okay . let me just tell you why i 'm here this time . i had a recruiter call , say they were interested in my cv . michael : seriously ? that 's great ! what 's the job ? nelle : you should know . i mean , i did some googling . turns out the company is a subsidiary of elq . any idea who refereed me ? michael : okay . i may have given them your name . nelle : ah ! michael : but you got that interview on your own merit , just like how you 're gon na get this job -- on your own merit . nelle : mnh - mnh . i turned it down . michael : why ? nelle : what 's gon na happen when your mom finds out that i 'm working for you at elq ? michael : my mom does any have any stock in elq , and she definitely does n't have any control over hiring . nelle : look , i would just prefer not to cause any more trouble for either of you . michael : okay , look . now , i love my mom , and i respect her opinion to a point . i do n't live my life to please her . and i 'm not gon na waste any time worrying about how she 's gon na react when she finds out that we 're seeing each other . nelle : wait . back up . when did we agree we were seeing each other ? [ scene_break ] kevin : so what do you say , spencer ? are you cool with moving into my place ? spencer : i think it could be fun . you 're not a bad guy , dr. collins . kevin : well , since we 'll be living under the same roof , it 's okay if you call me kevin . spencer : deal . kevin : all right . you guys want to see your new digs ? spencer : sure . i 'll start measuring for my furniture . and , i 'm not gon na be sleeping on pull - out in the den , am i ? kevin : not to worry . i have a spare bedroom . i will have to move out my medical journals , though . spencer : on it . kevin : and my cryptography books . spencer : done . kevin : oh , and my gaming systems . spencer : whoa , whoa , whoa , buddy . now , let 's not get hasty ! i mean , come on !

[ sighs ] i was so proud ... when you graduated from medical school . `` to my husband , dr. silas clay , all my love , nina . `` we were so happy . there 's a crack in it . silas : yeah , that was unfortunate . nina : yeah , it 's been two decades . it 's bound to , you know -- it 's bound to happen when you move from place to place . silas : no , it survived all the moves . it just did n't survive your mother . nina : my mother ? silas : that happened when she , uh -- when she broke in here -- had someone break in and trash the place . nina : you 're kidding me . why would she do that ? silas : i think she was trying to intimidate me into signing away any right i might have to your money . nina : i 'm sorry . silas : it 's not your fault . nina : well , it 's not completely broken -- just a crack . silas : a little worse for the wear , but it 's still here . nina : kind of like me . sam : you know what ? i should -- i should n't be going on about nina and silas when you are hurting over your dad . molly : it 's okay . it gives me something else to think about . sam : you do n't have to be strong with me , molly . molly : like nina ? [ knock on door ] sam : let me get that . [ sighs ] tj . hi . tj : hey , is molly here ? sam : yeah . molly : hi , tj ! tj : hey . molly , i 'm so sorry about your dad . molly : i just ca n't believe he 's gone . i mean , he came back to town specifically so he could be a part of my life . tj : i know . it sucks . molly : and what makes it even worse is my own mom chose her boyfriend over me . alexis : anna , where molly lives is between me and molly . and my relationship with julian is between julian and me . now , i know that your feelings about julian are deep and justified , and -- and you and duke have a long , sordid history . but julian has extricated himself from the mob for his family . he has cooperated with the police department , and he gave you the information you needed to find the man and take him down who brought the drugs into port charles . anna : he is very eager to cut a deal for himself . alexis : he is no longer a threat to you or to port charles . so this advice that you 're giving me -- it just does n't seem right . unless , of course , there 's something that you 're not telling me . jordan : look , the two of us , julian -- we 're the only people that know that ric was n't really our boss . he went down for something that he did n't even do , and now he 's dead while our real boss is alive and well and yanking your chain . julian : i made my choice . no one else should be in that situation . jordan : okay . we 're in this together . right ? i ca n't help you if i 'm flying blind , okay ? you have to give me the goods on our boss , and we 'll protect each other . julian : okay . i 'll tell you , but do n't say i did n't warn you . dante : hey , do you mean what you said before ? lulu : about maxie ? dante : no , about you thinking my partner 's hot . lulu : only if you like that type . dante : all right . and what type is that ? lulu : hmm , blue , blue eyes , great smile , dark hair . dante : huh . not that you 're paying any attention . lulu : absolutely not . but what do you think ? do you think that nathan would find this attractive ? dante : i do n't know . but i sure do . honestly , you are more beautiful right now to me than you ever have been . lulu : that 's just wrong . dante : why is it so wrong ? i ca n't help it if i have a thing for a woman with baby food in her hair . lulu : [ chuckles ] mnh - mnh . mnh - mnh . we 're supposed to be picking up . dante : oh , yeah . lulu : even though five minutes after he wakes up , it 's gon na look exactly like this . dante : i know . he 's the gift that keeps on giving . you know , they do say denial is an extremely powerful parenting tool . lulu : oh , really ? dante : yeah . lulu : good . dante : yeah , so , for a few shining hours , we pretend that this little tornado sleeping there is n't gon na wake up and tear through this room again . lulu : hmm . it 's funny you should mention . did i tell you how good he 's getting at throwing things ? dante : [ chuckles ] you know what ? we have to think about that , because tomorrow , you could come out of the hospital all fixed up , ready to bring another tornado into this house ... lulu : [ laughs ] dante : ... to tear through this place again . lulu : it 's a distinct possibility . dante : are we sure we 're ready for another baby ? maxie : levi , that 's really unfair . nathan was just trying to help me . levi : i realize that , maxie , but another lie was n't going to help . that 's why i jumped up before he could answer . i was hoping that judge walters would let you off the hot seat . maxie : well , those things that you said about me -- thank you . you were amazing . levi : and i meant every single word . but i would n't have had to have said anything if nathan had n't lied from the get - go . nathan : i really hope i did n't ruin your chances of seeing your kid . levi : so do i . maxie : i do n't understand . how did judge walters even find out you lied to him ? all rise . judge walters : [ bangs gavel ] i 'm ready to make my ruling . judge walters : at stake is whether miss jones is fit to be a part of her child 's life . clothing the poor , feeding the hungry , and protecting dolphins is a noble pursuit . but ultimately miss jones ' character has not fundamentally improved . again , she has conspired to deceive and to fabricate . maxie : no . judge walters : by her own admission , she lied to this court , she dragged in detective west , and he willingly came along . detective west , i would strongly urge you to consider this outcome and not allow anyone to talk you in to lying to a judge again . i 'm returning to my original ruling not allowing miss jones to see her daughter . she 's not ready to be a mother . we 'll revisit this matter again in six months . diane : your honor , this is unconscionable . judge walters : this court is adjourned . [ bangs gavel ] maxie : i lost her . i lost georgie again . lulu : dante , are you saying that you do n't want another child ? dante : no . no . no , i 'm not . i 'm not saying that at all . i 'm just -- i 'm just talking about the timing . if you go to the hospital tomorrow and get fixed up and we use our embryo right away , then ... we got another baby . we 're gon na have two toddlers . you know , that -- that 's double the diapers , double the work , double the mess . lulu : mm - hmm . double the love . dante : [ chuckles ] lulu : i 'm ready if you are . dante : yeah , that 's good . i was just making sure you 're ready . lulu : i love you . dante : i love you , too . silas : i 'm gon na get ready to go , okay ? nina : so , um , where are you going for your date with samantha ? silas : oh , just gon na get something to eat . nina : oh , great . great . um , can i expect you home tonight ? i 'm -- i do n't need to know that . i do n't -- uh . go -- go ahead and go . get ready . um , i 'll just be here . i think that rosalie is on her way . silas : okay . nina : all right . go , si . really , make yourself gorgeous . you do n't want to keep samantha waiting . sam : hey . molly , mom did n't choose julian over you . it 's not that simple . molly : but it 's the truth . i gave mom an ultimatum -- either break up with him or i go , and ... here i am . sam : molly , mom loves you . you know that . molly : wait , sam . i 'm sorry . we -- we do n't have time to have a huge , long conversation about this . you need to get ready for your date . sam : really ? because it seems like you 're upset . and if you 're upset , i 'm gon na cancel my date with silas -- molly : no , no , no . absolutely not . no . tj is here for me now , and i do n't want to make things harder for you . you are already doing me a huge favor by letting me stay here . go show silas that there is no other woman as fabulous as you . sam : mm , i love you , kiddo . molly : i love you . alexis : is there something i should know about julian that i do n't ? anna : no . no . there is n't . how can you be certain that he 's no longer involved with organized crime ? alexis : how can you be certain that duke is no longer involved in organized crime ? anna : because i am . alexis : so , i should n't trust julian , but you should trust duke ? anna : oh , come on . there is no comparison . alexis : is n't there ? molly : when i was little , my father was involved with the mob . for a while , he worked for my uncle sonny , and then the zaccharas , but that all changed when he moved away . and then when he came back , he was n't doing anything illegal . i know he was n't , but my mother is taking julian 's word for it . he tells her that he 's not a criminal anymore and that he 's not involved with the mob , and she swallows it . `` okay , julian . whatever you say . `` tj : yeah . my mom believes julian , too . molly : well , how do you know ? did you talk to her ? tj : well , she left me a message saying she had some big news for me , so i went to go see her . and she told me that julian jerome had gone legit , so she was keeping her job at the gallery . molly : tj , i am so sorry , but , i mean , it 's pretty clear that the gallery is a front . tj : i know . so i gave her an ultimatum of my own . i told her to walk away from that gallery ... but she chose julian over me , too . julian : the thing about our boss -- it 's complicated . jordan : i can do complicated . we 're in this together , are n't we ? what is his name ? julian : our boss -- mickey : evening . julian : sorry , we 're closed . mickey : oh , well , as exceptional as the art on the walls may be , i 'm not here to appreciate it . mickey diamond . julian : mickey diamond . is that name supposed to mean something to me ? mickey : it 's about to . our boss sent me . lulu : is your mom okay ? i sent her a picture of rocco , and she did n't respond . dante : hmm . she 's up and down . she 's trying to cover . she 's doing a good job for the most part , but she 's still pretty messed up about sonny . lulu : is n't there something that we could do to cheer her up ? dante : i thought of that , and , uh , maybe she 'd like to go to the city and see a broadway show . lulu : musicals . perfect . she loves them . dante : right . so that perked her up for a little bit , and then she realized that they all reminded her of sonny . lulu : musicals remind her of sonny ? dante : yeah . `` rocky `` ... lulu : oh , right . boxing . dante : `` bullets over broadway `` ... lulu : his job . dante : `` wicked `` ... lulu : for obvious reasons . dante : and , uh , `` kinky boots `` ... lulu : mnh - mnh . i do n't want to know . dante : yeah , i 'm with you there . lulu : speaking of kinky , you know , rocco ... dante : mm - hmm ? lulu : ... he 's sleeping , but we 're not . dante : i thought you were too exhausted . lulu : mm , i think we need to seize the opportunity , because when we have two toddlers , we 'll both be too exhausted . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : mm - hmm . [ cell phone rings ] lulu : mnh - mnh . mnh - mnh .

[ sniffles ] levi : max ! maxie ! maxie ! nathan : hey . not so fast , dunkleman . julian : what can i do for you ? mickey : well , the boss asked me to make sure the business was running smoothly . julian : mm . sorry . i deal with him directly . mickey : then i do n't need to tell you how he is , right ? eyes in the back of his head , twitchy when he ca n't be hands - on . [ chuckles ] i suggest you adapt to change . ms. ashford , can you leave us alone for a moment ? jordan : do i have a choice ? mickey : we all have choices . jordan : i 'll be in the back room . mickey : when did she become your best friend ? she 's still new . we ca n't trust her yet . julian : that 's interesting . do you have this , uh , place bugged ? mickey : why do you ask ? were you saying or doing something that would displease the boss ? julian : i do n't like being spied on . mickey : too bad . make one wrong move , i 'll find out about it . is that clear ? julian : sure . mickey : excellent . i 'm sure everything will go smoothly .
