[ scene_break ] sonny : i have a business proposal for you . luke : what kind of business ? sonny : well , actually , it 's more pleasure than anything else . i want a nice night out with my lady , and i need your casino . luke : you want to rent the joint tonight ? sonny : i 'll pay you whatever you make on a night and 20 % extra . i want the best champagne ; caviar . i want a red carpet from the dock to the door . luke : you want joan and melissa `` what 's - their - names `` out there and a bunch of paparazzi , huh ? sonny : no , i -- i had n't really thought of that , but i 'll get max on it . but another thing -- emily -- i want her to win every so often , so if you can rig the tables -- her favorite is blackjack and roulette . luke : oh , yeah , sure , we can do that . that 's no problem . i got to say , you 're awful cheerful for a guy who just lost his shirt . sonny : what are you going to do ? luke : you 're going to get it back . is n't that why you 're here -- setting up a nice , tidy little alibi ? you and emily gambling the night away , while your people make a move on jason and his crew ? sonny : never occurred to me . luke : god , i got to get some hip - waders -- sonny : no , no , no , no , i 'm not kidding . i 'm not kidding . luke : sonny , you know i 'd be happy to help you with whatever your plan is , as long as this joint does n't get shot up . sonny : i know you -- you know , you like it when i 'm in charge because it makes things easier for you . luke : you 're damn right i like it when you 're in charge . it does me good to have somebody i know have clout . sonny : i 'm sorry to disappoint you , but tonight is nothing but making emily happy . and as far as the organization , i 'm done . luke : i 'm starting to believe you really think you mean that . sonny : sometimes i think about that night outside your blues club -- the night lily died -- and i wonder to myself , what took me so long to get out ? [ scene_break ] colleen : um -- may i offer an observation ? nikolas : please do . colleen : love taps do n't help a baby burp . nikolas : yeah , i just -- i do n't want to hurt him . colleen : well , john is n't as fragile as you think . let me show you . nikolas : all right . colleen : here . nikolas : just -- colleen : huh ? now you try . nikolas : all right . come here . [ john burps ] nikolas : you did it . colleen : oh . nikolas : well , i guess i learned my lesson from you . thank you very much . thank you very much . here you go , buddy . colleen : aw . nikolas : i 'm -- i 'm hoping i get better at this with time . colleen : oh , you 're doing fine . actually , it 's quite endearing how earnest you are . nikolas : i want to be the best possible father i can to this little guy . he needs to know how much his mother and i wanted him . what about you ? how are you ? are you settling in okay ? colleen : it 's an adjustment . nikolas : yeah . colleen : this house is so -- nikolas : wait , wait -- big , creepy , gloomy , cold -- all of the above ? colleen : big . nikolas : it 's ok . colleen : it 's hard to believe you rattle around in here alone . nikolas : yeah , i know . i got used to it . colleen : do you have family in port charles ? nikolas : i do , yes . i have a brother and a sister . you 'll get to meet them -- they 're great . lucky is a policeman here , and lulu just graduated from high school . colleen : hmm . nikolas : as for the other side -- my father 's side -- with the exception of my aunt alexis and her three children , they 're all psychotic . [ colleen laughs ] colleen : you 're exaggerating , i hope . nikolas : sadly , no , i am not . and i 'm actually glad that this came up because there 's -- there 's some things that you need to know . jax and carly are n't the only people denied access to my son . my grandmother , helena cassadine , is never , never to be allowed anywhere near him . and trust me , she will try . she 's unaccounted for at the moment , but as soon as she finds out that john is my son , she 'll resurface here . colleen : so i 'm hearing your grandmother is n't some sweet little old lady ? nikolas : no , no . helena is about as far from that as you can get . she 's immoral , controlling . and you ca n't ever forget this -- she 's dangerous , especially to john . listen , sit down for a minute . i want to give you the edited version of sort of what goes on around here . ok . the cassadines come from russian nobility . i am a prince , therefore , my heir , john , is also a prince . when he comes of age -- or in the event of my death -- he will come into a legacy of enormous wealth and power , and my grandmother is desperate to control that . so if you see her lurking around here anywhere , you call the guards , you grab john , and you run away as fast as you can . colleen : you 're scaring me . nikolas : yeah , well , probably rightfully so . as i said , my grandmother will do anything to control the long - awaited cassadine heir . but we 're evenly matched , she and i . because there 's nothing in this world that i would n't do to keep my son away from her . [ scene_break ] luke : so you 're really doing it , what so many -- so many people i know have tried and could never do ? you 're walking away , huh ? still breathing , no regrets ? sonny : the life i 'm getting in return is worth anything i 'm giving up , you know ? but people do n't understand that ; they do n't accept that , so , i would n't mind -- luke : hey , you underestimate me . i do understand . nobody understands better than me . you and i have lived pretty much the same life , you know ? i 've been where you were , where you are , and i maybe even been where you 're going ; i do n't know . but i do know that the business and a personal life -- they do n't mix . and an operation like yours requires too much ; too much of what you need to keep that other part of your life alive . i know that . sonny : it did n't work with carly , but emily 's different . luke : well , emily 's your angel . yeah , your angel . i hope you get what you want . and i hope emily does n't pay the price . you see , the problem with angels getting involved with people like you and me is they always get their wings broken . they always suffer . sonny : i 'm going to try to pull it off . i 'm going to -- i mean , i know you 're right . i should go to jason , take him down , and kill him , but once you 've played god for so long , sometimes it -- sometimes fate bites you , and i 've been bitten too long . i 've lost too much . i 've got to find a new way to live , luke . luke : i hear that . i mean , i do n't know anything about god . and i think that `` fate - biting - you `` thing is just an excuse . i think you bit yourself . i think the choices you made bit you . but , hey , i do n't know . i know something about having power and money and then not having it anymore . yep , and i know about starting over . and i 've always said it 's a lot better to walk out the wrong door than to stay there and rot and wonder . so , good luck to you , pal . good luck to you . [ scene_break ] robin : wow . you really went all out . i guess you must be pretty serious about this commitment . patrick : why do n't you drop that word from your vocabulary ; unless , of course , you want to eat alone ? robin : crabby . patrick : our table 's over there . robin : oh . carly : this is going to be a perfect night -- i can tell . jax : well , we 're off to a good start . you did n't storm robin 's table . i 'm impressed . carly : i want to impress you , jax . robin : carly 's probably trying to jump through hoops right now to hold on to jax . patrick : and we 're off . jax : you know , you are the best surprise i never saw coming . carly : not past tense -- i 'm sitting right here . jax : i 'm just telling you i 'm going to miss you . carly : i do n't want to talk about losing you , ok ? i just -- i do n't want to . i want to be here in the moment and enjoy each other , and who knows ? maybe you 'll change your mind and you 'll decide to stay . jax : oh , i -- i have something for you . carly : a surprise for me ? maybe it 's a plane ticket ? jax : take a look . carly : ok . carly : power of attorney . jax : yeah . it gives you full control of this hotel . patrick : not to get existential on you , but do you ever feel alone in a crowded room sitting opposite someone at a table ? robin : you know what ? she did n't even come over here . that 's proof that she 's up to something . carly would never pass up an opportunity to come over here and get in my face , so she must be focusing all of her energy on jax right now . patrick : are you ready to order ? robin : he just handed her something . oh , my god . you do n't think he 's actually thinking about marrying her , do you ? patrick : you know what ? carly 's a beautiful woman . wild , sexy hair -- a man could lose reason . robin : you know what ? i should do the honors this time . i should get up , walk over there , and start a fight . patrick : why would you want to do that ? robin : because then she would n't be able to keep up her `` miss nicey - nice `` routine and jax could see her for the woman that she really is . patrick : i ca n't believe it 's taken me this long to get this . robin : get what ? patrick : you are exactly like carly . in fact , you are carly . jax : i -- i thought you 'd be happy . i mean , you always wanted control of the hotel . carly : no . i mean -- in the beginning , but we worked together . it 's the most fun i 've ever had . we are together . what are you doing ? i mean , giving me this power of attorney , it -- when are you coming back ? you 're not coming back . oh , my god . jax : i do n't -- i do n't know . but i know that it 's best for everyone . carly : it 's not best for me . jax : look , this situation with nikolas is not going to get any better , ok ? it 's only going to get worse . if i stay here , i 'll want to see john . and nikolas -- he 's not going to stand for that . he 's going to dig his heels in even deeper , and i do n't want to be the cause of this vicious cycle , ok ? if i 'm gone , then nikolas is going to let you be a part of john 's life , and that 's the truth . that -- that 's the truth of it . carly : do n't sit here and tell me you 're doing this for me . you 're giving up , and you 're leaving . jax : carly -- carly : stay the hell away from me ! [ scene_break ] nikolas : hi . emily : where is everybody ? nikolas : i do n't know . i just -- i just arrived myself . emily : oh . well , should n't there be more paying customers or -- [ emily chuckles ] nikolas : the bartender mentioned that it was a private party . emily : oh . are you invited , too ? nikolas : no , no , i 'm actually just here to see luke . emily : oh . nikolas : obviously , you were invited . emily : yeah . i assumed my invitation was from sonny , but -- nikolas : well , that would be a safe guess . it would n't surprise me if he rented out the whole house just to impress you . emily : yeah , sounds like sonny . nikolas : yes , it does . well , i 'd rather not be here when he arrives . so if you see luke , just tell him he can reach me at home , ok ? emily : ok . sure . nikolas : ok . oh , before i go -- as co - owner of this establishment -- however reluctant -- i present $ 50 in chips to the quartermaine heiress to share with her even - more - loaded boyfriend . here you go . emily : thank you . nikolas : have fun , ok ? emily : ok . sonny : get away from her . emily : sonny , do n't . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] robin : thanks . spend enough time at the bar ? patrick : depends . is the next word out of your mouth going to be about carly ? robin : yes . you just accused me of being exactly like her . now , is that because of something that happened tonight , or are you convinced that i blurted out the truth because i just like to stir up trouble ? patrick : your compulsive need to right everybody else 's wrong , whether you 're involved or not , says something about your psychology . robin : skip to the part where i am exactly like carly . patrick : i just said that to get your attention . you create your own drama . robin : such as ? patrick : you sure you can take it ? robin : i just asked you , did n't i ? patrick : ok . you get into everybody else 's problems . you run around blaming everything on everybody else , testing people . robin : `` testing people `` ? patrick : you set standards that no one could possibly live up to , which is exactly what you intend . therefore , when you 're inevitably disappointed , you not only let yourself off the hook but you 're proven right . justification for not taking any chances . and if that does n't work , you always have the hiv to fall back on . robin : wow . you see right through me . give yourself a smiley face for the day . [ scene_break ] carly : you never said you loved me . jax : you never said it , either . carly : if i did , would you stay ? jax : if i did , would you trust it enough to let me go ? [ music plays ] carly : i should n't have to . when things get tough , you stay and you fight . jax : sometimes you need to leave so you can understand why you have to come back . carly : i can show you . singer : did you mean to take your coat off ? / you just stand in my doorway/ i fight to keep my temper/ try to figure what to say/ please believe me/ tell me you 'll still fight on/ please believe me that chances are you 'll lose yourself/ lose yourself to someone else who made that mistake and i am sorry/ from the time it takes to give it back somewhere/ i do n't know if i can stay anymore/ you found courage to let your heart through and i do n't want to let you down/ it 's a little late to give to/ [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're not with emily anymore . you threw her out like trash . you ca n't just get her back . nikolas : put the bottle down -- sonny : i should probably cut your throat is what i should do . nikolas : get the hell away from me . emily : sonny , for god sakes -- sonny : shh . do n't you ever -- emily : i need help over here ! sonny : wait a minute ! do n't you ever put your hands on her again . you understand what i 'm saying ? max : boss , boss , boss , that is enough . let it go . let it go . nikolas : you know what , sonny ? you need to be committed . [ glass breaks ] nikolas : you are insane . sonny : what did you say ? nikolas : i said you 're insane . emily : nikolas , please do n't provoke him . sonny : oh , you 're going to take his side now , emily ? emily : max , i need you to take him home . max : come on , boss , let 's go . sonny : you 're not coming with me ? ok . let 's go . let 's go . that 's fine . emily : what -- what are you doing ? nikolas : i 'm calling the police . i want that psycho arrested . emily : no , no , no . i 'm not going to let you do that . [ scene_break ] patrick : you ok ? robin : i do n't know why you care . i 'm such a horrible person . patrick : that 's not what i meant . robin : you know what ? do n't try and tell me what you meant . because you 're right . i am a judgmental , rule - setting coward . and you , dr. hottie , are a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity with devastating good looks and awe - inspiring talent . quite frankly , i do n't even understand why you would hang out with such a loser like myself . patrick : you 're not a loser . robin : according to your analysis , i am . you know , you 've already got what you wanted . i do n't understand why you 're sticking around . it 's not as though you like me . patrick : do n't tell me what i like . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you tell me why i should n't call the police right now . sonny could 've killed me or whoever else was standing next to you . emily : you do n't understand . nikolas : no -- oh , no , no , i understand , emily . sonny is an animal who needs to be locked up behind bars . emily : it 's not sonny 's fault . nikolas : `` it 's not -- `` are -- are you seriously going to make excuses for what just happened here ? emily : i 'm trying to explain . sonny has a medical condition ; it 's a chemical imbalance . nikolas : what ? emily : i 've been talking to lainey ! i 'm working on getting sonny treatment . this is terrible and i 'm so sorry that you were involved , but -- nikolas : i 'm not -- i 'm not worried about me , emily . you tell me -- what if he flips out on you like that one day , huh ? emily : he wo n't . nikolas : he wo n't ? emily : sonny would never hurt me . nikolas : right , he wo n't , he wo n't , he wo n't . you do n't know that ! there is n't a rationalization in this world that can convince me that you 're safe with that maniac . give me the phone . i 'm calling the police ! emily : no , no , no , please , nikolas , i 'm begging you ! i get that you 're scared for me . i know it looks like a volatile situation -- it is -- but sonny poses no danger to me . if you trust me at all , if you believe anything that i 've learned from the past two years , then you will stay out of this and let me handle it . nikolas , look at me . you owe me this . nikolas : you got to swear to me that if he ever hits you , threatens you , or even looks like he will , you 'll run away , and you call me . emily : it wo n't come to that . nikolas : swear -- swear it , emily , or i call lucky right now . swear it . emily : ok , i swear . but i know sonny better than i 've known anyone -- he wo n't hurt me . nikolas : huh . `` better than you 've known anyone `` ? you better be damn sure of that .

sam : you ca n't just sit here -- ahh -- and never open the windows . spinelli : why not ? sam : why not ? well , because air is good . spinelli : the jackal has news of a most joyful nature . sam : really ? yep , you do n't look so joyous . spinelli : well , like most news , it is a double - edged sword . sam : come on , what 's going on ? spinelli : dante has secured michael 's early release . he gets out of pentonville today . sam : really ? ! well , that 's incredible . spinelli : yes , it 's incredible for michael and his loved ones . sam : ohh . but jason 's not getting out with michael . okay , i get it . he 's stuck in prison . [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're probably surprised to see me . not as surprised as i am to actually be here . [ jason sighs ] maxie : it came in the mail . franco 's back . you have to stop him . [ scene_break ] brook lynn : that is so great that michael is out of prison . i am so happy to hear that . lulu : yeah , dante never gave up . and the fact that he 's willing to take full responsibility for his brother is just proof of how incredible he is . brook lynn : that 's right . that 's very considerate of you , lulu . i mean , being that michael 's being here will definitely put a crimp in your romance . but like i said before , if you and dante , you need your , you know , romance time ... michael 's my cousin . let him out . he can come over , we 'll hang out , we 'll have fun . lulu : gee , that 's really sweet of you , brook , but i think dante will figure out something that will work for us . [ scene_break ] carly : do you see how much your little sister missed you ? we all missed you . michael : i missed you guys , too . missed you more than i can even tell you . kristina : it 's unreal . i was just visiting you and now you 're here . jax : listen , do you want to get settled into your room and i 'll make a dinner reservation for us at the hotel ? carly : that 's a great idea . i 'll call the chef . he can make your favorite . or we can stay home if you really want to be home . michael : um ... [ all laughing ] michael : you know what ? no , mom , i actually ca n't . i ca n't stay . carly : what do you mean , you ca n't stay ? michael : um ... carly : living with your father 's not an option , michael . you ca n't do that . michael : no , it 's not dad . the only way judge carroll was gon na let me be released is if , um ... is if i stay with dante . [ scene_break ] dante : judge carroll agreed to suspend the rest of michael 's sentence , but there are conditions . he 's got to wear an ankle monitor , and he 's got to do community service , which should have been his sentence in the first place . and i agreed to take responsibility for him , which means he 'll be living at my place . sonny : better off with you than in pentonville . thanks . dante : if you would stay away from michael for now , that would be thanks enough . sonny : stay away ? i 'm not ... i 'm not losing michael . [ scene_break ] patrick : one more . good job . you know , could n't ask for a better father 's day , spend it with my little girl . it 's perfect . maybe not perfect . perfect would be if mommy was back home and she made us breakfast in bed . that would be perfect . then again , we 've both had mommy 's pancakes , and they make my scrambled eggs look gourmet . but we miss her , do n't we ? hmm ? you 're not gon na take it personal that she had to extend her stay ? but you know what ? there 's a lot of people in this world that are n't as fortunate as us . she 's trying to change that . steve : i knew that . [ laughs ] patrick : uh , there 's kids present here . lisa : hi , patrick . i did n't see you there . [ patrick sighs ] [ scene_break ] dante : just so we 're clear , judge carroll believes you 're a bad influence on michael . i mean , you can justify it all you want , sonny . michael took a human life , and to make matters worse , at your insistence he lied about it and covered it up . sonny : okay , let me be clear on this . the judge has decided that it 's against the law for me to see my own son ? dante : technically , no . he strongly cautioned that there be minimal contact . sonny : okay , so if i see michael , does he go back to pentonville ? dante : no . sonny : okay , that 's all i need to know , then . dante : sonny , you live an immoral life . a world where black is white and good is bad , and whoever does n't go along with you , screw them , and then you act like you have a right to do this . and for everyone around you , this is like the definition of hell on earth . stop bringing your kids down with you . give michael a chance to live his life and just leave him alone . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't understand . this is your home . you 'd be surrounded by your family here . morgan : dante 's family . carly : michael belongs here . jax : let 's not fight about it , okay ? let 's just be happy that he 's out . michael : the judge placed conditions on my release . and where i live is one . molly : what are the others ? michael : well , i have to wear this tracking device . it , you know , lets them know where i 'm always at . kristina : i guess it beats being locked up . morgan : i think it 's cool . molly : me , too . michael : you guys , there 's nothing cool about it . this is what happens when you break the law . you ca n't go where you want and you ca n't live where you want . trust me , it 's not worth it . molly : but the judge released you because he figured out that you 're not guilty , right ? that you were just protecting your mom and baby sister ? michael : the judge released me because dante convinced him . jax : where is dante ? michael : he went to my dad to explain . i 'm not supposed to be able to see him . kristina : good . dad does n't deserve to see you . [ scene_break ] lulu : yeah , i am so proud of dante for fighting to get michael released . you ca n't imagine what it did to him to see the system that he believes in fail so badly . brook lynn : dante has always been a stand - up guy . lulu : well , he 's a hero . and all the people that blamed him for michael 's incarceration owe him a little bit of gratitude now . [ elevator ascending ] lulu : oh , i think he 's here . olivia : hey . hey , brook . uh , is dante here ? lulu : no , i thought that you were him . olivia : no , actually , i 'm here to see you , honey . i was hoping that you could talk some sense into johnny . lulu : um , what 's going on ? olivia : apparently he is involved with kristina . lulu : kristina ? olivia : yeah . brook lynn : krissy 's just a kid . olivia : well , apparently she has technically reached the age of consent . so -- lulu : consent ? wait , i 'm sorry . you -- are -- seriously , you 're saying that johnny is sleeping with kristina ? olivia : johnny is so far out of control right now , i do n't know what he 's capable of . he 's using kristina to get over on sonny . [ scene_break ] sam : this is the outcome everyone wanted , for michael to come home . spinelli : but had jason known it was only gon na be a few weeks , maybe he would n't have taken a deal that sent him inside . sam : no , no . jason needed to be there , even if it was only for a short time . prison is really tough . and michael could n't have done it alone . jason definitely does not regret his decision . spinelli : i know you 're right , but knowing does n't lessen the pain and frustration of jason being locked up for a minimum of 2 years to no further purpose . [ scene_break ] jason : when did you get this ? maxie : i 've been busy the last few days . i mean , my mail kind of piled up . jason : at work ? maxie : no , jason , that is the weird part . he did n't send it to `` crimson . `` he sent it to my apartment . i opened the envelope and there it was . i mean -- do you think it 's one of franco 's pieces of art ? jason : maxie , i do n't know . i 've never seen this picture before . maxie : why is this weirdo back , and why is he sending me this stuff ? do you think he 's trying to seduce me ? i mean , franco ca n't possibly be trying to use that to tempt me . he 's completely demented . i mean , the guy is a serial killer . what if -- what if he 's not trying to sleep with me ? what if he wants to kill me ? jason : hey . just take a deep breath . you 're gon na be fine , okay ? maxie : how am i going to be fine when there is a serial killer out there sending me pictures like this and you are in here useless ? ! [ scene_break ] steve : i imagine robin 's home sleeping off the jetlag ? lisa : did she bring any gifts ? because i have this collection of african masks that i 've been neglecting and ... patrick : well , i 'll let her know . but she 's actually -- she had to extend her stay . she 's still over there . steve : did something go wrong with the aids clinic ? patrick : no , just a little more complicated than she expected . steve : yeah , my dad and his wife have been working with world health for years . and when they saw how desperate things were in the third world , they basically did n't come back to the states except on occasional visits . not that robin 's not gon na come home as soon as she can . patrick : oh , we 're not worried about that . lisa : your dad 's out of the country , right ? doctors without borders ? patrick : he is . it kind of helps him stay sober , throwing himself into work like that . and plus , you know , he 's doing good work over there , so ... steve : hey , whatever the motive , he 's doing something good . that 's something to be commended . you know ? lisa : i do n't see how robin could leave this little angel for more than a minute than she has to . so sweet . patrick : yeah . steve : hey , if you ever get lonely while she 's gone , you know , you can always hang with us . lisa : yeah , maybe we can go to a movie or something . or we could bring over dinner so you do n't have to leave emma . patrick : yeah . that 's very nice of you . i 'll keep that in mind . steve : hey , we should get going . lisa : oh , okay . all right , bye - bye , emma . patrick : say bye . lisa : bye , sweetie . bye . steve : see you later . lisa : see you later , daddy - o . [ chuckles ] patrick : well , well . looks like it 's just me and you , princess . [ scene_break ] spinelli : like a modern day jean valjean , only more heroic , stone cold has been unfairly incarcerated . monsieur les mis stole a loaf of bread to ease his suffering , but stone cold 's only crime was to selflessly surrender himself to the gods of incarceration to protect another , in this case young sir . sam : look , i know you think it 's unfair , spinelli , but jason knew what he was doing . spinelli : fair samantha misses the point . the utter failure of the system to provide any semblance of justice relieves us of the responsibility of playing by the rules , as it were . sam : what are you up to ? spinelli : stone cold 's mental and physical well - being are paramount . the jackal shall not fail his faithful friend , nor shall you pine for most ardent lover . sam : no , no , no , no . listen , spinelli , i know that you 're worried , i really do , but i swear to god , if you do something stupid , you could really mess everything up for jason . spinelli : the jackal does n't do stupid . before the day is out , the loathsome lords of pentonville will be outwitted . retribution is nigh . [ scene_break ] jason : has anyone been following you ? maxie : no . jason : any calls , contacts , emails from france ? any -- maxie : only legit stuff , work related . i do n't even know where he sent this from . the postmark is smudged . we do n't even know if franco is still living in france . he knows where i live , though . he dropped me off at my apartment after we hooked up . jason : okay . i want you to take this claire and i want you to tell her everything you just told me . maxie : i do n't think so . claire walsh was n't exactly nice to me when i testified at michael 's trial . not to mention i perjured myself . so i would like to avoid her as much as possible and let her forget about me . jason : it 's claire 's job to catch franco . maxie : i want you to catch franco . jason : that 's not gon na happen . maxie : yeah , you have to protect michael , i get that . but still -- jason : michael 's gone home . he was released today . maxie : get them to let you out of here . jason , you let yourself get sent to prison for 2 years so you could protect michael for a few weeks ? that 's the most selfish thing you have ever done . spinelli 's basically in free fall and i 'm the target of a freaking maniac . you should be ashamed of yourself ! jason : okay , listen . take the picture to claire . maxie , i 'm counting on you . okay ? maxie : do n't try to be nice . this is all your fault . [ scene_break ] lulu : johnny loves you . why would he be with kristina ? olivia : to get under sonny 's skin . it 's like he 's on a suicide mission , honey . he does n't care about burning his life down as long as he gets revenge on sonny . lulu : i doubt that i could get through to him . olivia : oh , you know what ? you could n't screw it up any more than i did . i was just at his apartment . all we did was fight . i think , um , i think we 're really over this time . lulu : he 's got to have an explanation . olivia : no . nothing . nothing . he would n't even deny that he was involved with kristina . not that i gave him a lot of chances . i mean , oh , god . i said some really awful things to him , lulu . including accusing him of being worse than sonny . lulu : well , you know , i 'm not defending johnny at all , but , i mean , he would have to go a very , very long way to be anywhere near as bad as sonny . olivia : i just got used to the fact that the two of them hated each other . i got used to being in the middle of that . i can take it , you know ? i 'm a grown woman . kristina is a 17-year - old kid . and someone 's got to tell johnny that this is not okay what he 's doing . and he 's not listening to me . i know that you still care about him , honey . lulu : johnny and i , we 're over a long time ago . and , i mean , someone else is involved in this . olivia : you 're blaming kristina ? lulu : i did some dumb stuff when i was kristina 's age and no one could talk me out of it . and the more that people tell her that johnny is bad for her , the more she 's gon na dig her heels in . and i can understand why johnny and kristina would want to make sonny suffer . olivia : but not like this . honey , that 's out of line . everybody suffers with this . lulu : i 'm sorry , olivia . what 's out of line is that you would take sonny 's side on anything . dante almost died because sonny shot him . how you can defend him over johnny , the man that you love , is beyond me . olivia : so you 're saying that it 's okay that johnny is sleeping with kristina to get revenge ? lulu : no . but what johnny does is his business . i 'm sorry , but i have to stay out of it . but if johnny can drive sonny crazy , more power to him . [ scene_break ] sonny : does it make you feel good to tell me i 'm a bad father every time we get together ? dante : no , no , i just feel you refuse to see who you really are . you surround yourself with people who worship you and tell you that you can do no wrong . sonny : i 'm not perfect . i never said i was . not even close . but the only thing i have left right now , dante , are my children . dante : well , maybe you should love them more and yourself less . sonny : okay . dante : give them a chance to live worthwhile lives . sonny : you know how hard it is for a father to believe that their children are better off without them ? dante : let me paint the picture for you , sonny . you are almost entirely responsible for michael getting put in prison . and with all your connections , you could n't do anything about getting him released . sonny : is that what this is about ? 'cause if it is , if you want me to show you , you know , gratitude for getting michael out of prison , i 'll do that . you know what ? i thank you . i 'm grateful . i do n't know how i 'll ever repay you . and i mean that . dante : i do n't -- i do n't -- fine , i do n't want your gratitude . i want you to acknowledge that you -- you messed up your kids . the threat of your violence made kristina protect a guy who was beating her up . jax is adopting morgan at carly 's request for the sole purpose of keeping him away from you . i mean , at what point do you stop believing the fairytales and face up to reality ? sonny : i do n't know . the only thing i know is i 'm trying to do the best i can as a father . and you can take it out on me all you want . i do n't -- you know -- dante : i 'm not taking it out on you . i 'm not angry . as far as i 'm concerned , i did great . i did n't have to grow up with you . and i think i 'm better off because of that . now , i 'm gon na do whatever i can to protect michael . sonny : go ahead , punish me . because you 're my son , i 'm gon na let you -- go ahead . you want to keep punishing me -- dante : this is n't about you . sonny : oh , you know . dante : you said you wanted redemption . here 's your chance . do the selfless thing here . just stay away from michael .

[ scene_break ] maxie : yes , spinelli , it is awful that jason is still in pentonville , but it 's kind of jason 's fault that his release was n't contingent on michael . not that he seems all that upset . i mean , jason 's as level - headed and totally unreasonable as ever . spinelli : how would you know that ? maxie : okay , uh , yeah , i went to go visit him . spinelli : to what end ? maxie : just to say hi . and let him know how much you were suffering because he decided to send himself to prison . spinelli : maximista is showing all the signs of lying like a rug , so what were you actually doing there ? maxie : okay , i got an envelope in the mail , and it was from franco .

[ scene_break ] [ sonny takes deep breath ] [ knock on door ] sonny : did you see kristina ? alexis : we spoke . sonny : yeah ? alexis : sort of . not a very productive conversation . luckily carly interrupted and wanted the girls to go over there for michael 's welcome home party . sonny : party ? oh , so you knew there was a party and just assumed that michael 's father would n't be invited ? alexis : kind of a fair assumption , was n't it ? look , you and jax are not on good terms , and carly is trying to rip morgan out of your life . sonny : you know what ? i admit -- i 'll be the first to admit that michael 's childhood was hell . but you know what it 's like to have everybody around you say you 're a bad father over and over and over again ? you know what -- you know why i put myself through that circus of a trial ? because he 's my son . and i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let anybody take him away from me . [ scene_break ] michael : krissy , you can be mad at dad as you want , but ca n't you just let yourself see that he 's not all bad ? i mean , even when he does wrong stuff , he still loves us . kristina : this is where you and i are different . i ca n't make excuses for dad . and i do n't care if he 's hurt by the things i do . it 's what he deserves . michael : i do n't like the sound of this , krissy . kristina : then imagine how dad feels . i 'm dating johnny zacchara .

[ scene_break ] alexis : listen , i 'm really glad michael 's home . it rectifies a travesty of justice . and i think if the kids could just get back to normal ... i know that kristina needs a semblance of family right now . i think that might help her get over her anger . sonny : i would n't count on it . she blames me for everything that 's happened to her . alexis : because the nail on the coffin was when michael got sent away . she blames you for that , and now that he 's back , maybe she 'll be able to get over it . sonny : i 'm not convinced . alexis : michael adores you . let 's hope that rubs off on her . sonny : did she say she 's gon na stop seeing johnny ? alexis : no . sonny : i want to just -- alexis : we have to be -- calm down -- we have to be very careful about this , because she is acting out big time . she 's got a stubborn streak , and the more we tell her that she ca n't do something , the more she 's gon na do it . sonny : yeah , but -- okay , but we 're dealing with johnny zacchara , who has a screw loose . she 's young . he could manipulate her , right ? 'cause he hates me that much . alexis : kristina -- priority now , okay ? let me handle it . sonny : really ? what are you gon na do ? how are you gon na handle it ? alexis : without violence . sonny : ohh ... alexis : she needs to know that we are making very strong , sane choices on her behalf .

[ scene_break ] maxie : jason said that i should take it to claire walsh , which i actually could n't believe , because jason does n't ever tell anyone to take anything to a federal prosecutor , so , what do you think i should do ? spinelli : you should have taken this directly to the prosecutor as jason said and bypassed the jackal . maxie : i just wanted to make sure that you were okay first . do you want to go out on the terrace with me for a couple minutes ? you 're starting to look like a vampire keeping yourself locked up in here away from all the sunlight . i mean , i know i decorated this place really well , but that does n't mean you had to make it into your own personal little prison , keeping you away from everything you love that makes you happy . spinelli : happy ? you received a communication from a known serial killer , and instead of bringing it to me , your non - husband , you went to stone cold , which clearly indicates that even though stone cold is in a maximum security prison , you view him as more of a defender and protector than you do me . maxie : no ! spinelli , i did n't take this to jason because of any lack of faith i have in you . i do n't want to dredge up one of the worst mistakes i 've ever made in my life . what i did with franco made me hate myself . but even worse , it hurt you .

[ scene_break ] alexis : you are aware of everything my daughter 's been through ? johnny : yeah , i 'm aware . i 've witnessed a lot of it for myself . sonny 's trial , when i saw kristina in the back of the courtroom crying , cowering , as sonny yelled and went on and on about how claudia finally got what she deserved . alexis : as i understand it , you were yelling , too . johnny : with good reason . alexis : i see you 're convinced that your hatred of sonny is justified , but your using my daughter to hurt him is n't . johnny : it is actually completely justified . sonny ultimately drove claudia to her death . nobody deserves that . alexis : i 'm sure that you and sonny come by your mutual hatred for each other honestly . and it will escalate to violence . it always does . and someone will get hurt . but i am asking you to leave my daughter out of it . honestly , are you really that selfish , that vengeful , that you would want to cause any more pain to this 17-year - old girl who has already had so much already ?

[ scene_break ] dante : i got to be honest with you . i was pretty pissed off with spinelli for going up into those air ducts , because he was supposed to be on a computer finding the access code to get us into the building . but after you just told me the whole story about him getting shot , i realize if he had n't done what he did , you probably would n't be alive . maxie : of course this would happen . right when i thought i did n't have to worry about him anymore . dante : what do you mean ? maxie : the whole time spinelli and i were together , i was always so freaked out that he was going to do something to try to impress me and wind up getting himself hurt or killed in the process . he was always trying to prove what a man of action he was . and i know it 's because he thought that 's what i wanted . dante : and now , you broke up with , you did n't think you had to worry about him anymore . maxie : i thought if he was n't in love with me anymore , he would n't feel the need to take chances , to prove himself to anyone . then he would be safe . but i was wrong , because tonight , he showed up to save me anyway .

[ door closes ] sam : you 're surprised to see me ? spinelli : no , i just -- i did n't expect to see you in the office . sam : on the day i buried my son . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] elizabeth : ugh ! seriously , ewen ? already ? uh , just a second ! i 'm coming ! [ breathes deeply ] you 're here early . jason : can i come in ? [ scene_break ] ewen : just take a deep breath and relax . kate : [ breathes deeply ] ewen : now tell us everything you remember of the night of that shooting . the night of the accident -- what 's the first thing that comes to mind ? kate : well , sonny had been shot . and i went to the garage to find him , and there 's a puddle of blood on the ground . his blood . i was terrified . sonny : you 're doing great . ewen : what happened next ? kate : i went to the emergency room to find sonny , and we -- we fought because he told me that he was gon na go after anthony . so i told him that we were over , and i left . and the next thing i remember , i was looking at my closet , at the bloodstained wedding dress ... and then i put it on . ewen : okay , that 's the point that connie took over . you 've never been able to remember this before , kate . this is real progress . okay ? what next ? kate : and then i went to the pier . and that 's when you found me , doctor . i was so confused and disoriented , i -- i did n't know how i got there or why i was wearing that dress . ewen : so you were kate again , and you confessed to me that you 'd been having blackouts . kate : and you wanted to help me . but i -- i just wanted to get out of there , so i ran off . sonny : okay . that 's when connie told me she took control , and she went after anthony . ewen : do you remember that ? kate : no . i do n't . [ scene_break ] carly : i promise flowers and water will stay in the vase . johnny : good . i just want to make sure that you 're okay with me working with lulu . carly : yeah , i said i was . johnny : i know . i just ... if you wanted to reconsider , i understand . i know it 's probably difficult to trust me right now . carly : i guess i 'm a little cautious . johnny : yeah . carly : but that 's me , you know ? i have a hard time letting my guard down . i just ... feel like you open yourself up for getting hurt . johnny : i understand that . carly : i 'm trying . i am . i 'm really trying . you know , have to make a conscious effort , and i have to really fight off my worst impulse , but i 'm trying . johnny : yeah , well , it 's okay . i 'm the one who gave in to his worst impulses with that whole thing with kate . i -- carly : we 're past it . i -- johnny : it bears repeating . and when i said that i would never betray you again , i meant it . carly : i believe you . i know you 've been 100 % honest with me ever since . johnny : yeah . carly : i 've just been keeping something from you . [ scene_break ] luke : heather , i would love to just ... stand here and chat with you , but i have urgent business . heather : dumping tracy quartermaine ? the sooner the better , for all concerned . luke : what did you say ? heather : i heard you talking to your daughter . luke : you eavesdropped on me and lulu ? heather : all that nonsense about having a relationship with anna devane ? oh , but you have to go break tracy 's heart first . luke : well , this is none of your damn business , heather . heather : forget about tracy 's broken heart . what about my broken heart ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : you must be exhausted . perhaps i can escort you home ? sam : no , that 's -- that 's not really a good idea . i 'm staying at my mother 's . spinelli : well , i would think that the davis women could provide much needed comfort . sam : yes , they -- they have . i mean , i absolutely could not have gotten through this without them , but ... every time one of them asks me what i need , i ca n't stop thinking about what they ca n't bring me ... how i 'll never hold my son again . and then i came to work to kind of distract myself , and ... i ca n't stop missing my baby or thinking about jason . spinelli : jason ? sam : yeah , he came to the cemetery after everyone left . he wanted to talk . he asked if ... we could start over again . spinelli : can you ? [ scene_break ] jason : [ sighs ] oh , you have a date with dr. keenan . i forgot . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : it 's okay . he should n't be here for a while . what 's going on ? jason : [ sighs ] i went to , uh , pay my respects to sam 's baby . you know , the funeral was over , and i thought everybody was gone , but ... sam was there . you know , and i -- i sat with her , and it 's the closest we 've been in months . and now we 're even farther apart . [ scene_break ] anna : now , the first case concerns possible corruption . former commissioner scorpio had reason to believe that an officer here was leaking important information to a member of the zacchara crime family . [ scene_break ] delores : so , what do you want ? johnny : i want to know about this case that the cops are building against sonny . delores : as far as i know , all they have is that gun that was found in sonny 's girlfriend 's office . johnny : very good . that 's a start . i want the evidence , any witnesses , anything that may affect the prosecution 's case . [ scene_break ] anna : now , the second case involves the shooting that took out anthony zacchara 's tires , which resulted in the collision that caused the death of ... cole thornhart and his daughter , hope . now , sonny corinthos -- he was exonerated of those charges , which means that the actual perp is still out there . [ dante remembers ] johnny : see , kate -- or rather , her alter ego , connie -- shot out anthony 's tires and caused that accident . and sonny is working overtime to keep it quiet . anna : and , in addition ... the recent disappearance of anthony zacchara himself . [ scene_break ] luke : it was just talk . completely harmless . lulu : then why did n't you call the cops ? why did you drag his corpse halfway across the property and prop him up on a chaise lounge ? luke : well , we did n't have any choice , honey . the cops were moving in on us , and there was no time to do anything else . [ scene_break ] anna : so , does anyone have anything they want to share with me about these cases ? [ scene_break ] heather : i took care of your little problem . luke : what little problem ? heather : anthony zacchara , of course . luke : you killed anthony ? heather : oh , luke . i had missed your sense of humor . we both know i did n't kill anthony . you did . luke : wh - whoa . hold on , now . this conversation has taken too many hairpin turns . i 'm gon na have to pull over and put on a seat belt . heather : you do n't need to deny it . i know tracy put you up to it . but i made sure that no one can prove that you were anthony 's killer . luke : but i was n't . heather : now you 're just starting to hurt my feelings . it 's like you do n't trust me or something , after i 've already taken care of everything . luke : heather , what did you do ? [ scene_break ] sam : thank you . spinelli : i realize this question may not have a simple answer , but ... do you think you and stone cold can begin anew ? [ scene_break ] jason : you know , i wanted to help , and -- and i thought , for a second , that she might let me . but she ca n't get past what happened ... what i did . [ scene_break ] sam : so much has happened between us . i ca n't get past it . spinelli : you still love him . sam : yes . i mean , of course , i still love him . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : no matter what , you love each other . that has n't changed . jason : you 're right . i still love her . [ scene_break ] sam : i will always love jason , but ... spinelli : sometimes loving someone is n't enough . [ scene_break ] johnny : you said you 'd -- you 'd been lying about something . what ? carly : have a seat . [ sighs ] i really wanted tonight to be important . i wanted you to feel special , for you to know that you 're a part of my life . johnny : carly , what -- what are you keeping from me ? carly : you know the meal i told you i slaved over ? johnny : yeah . carly : it 's from the metro court . johnny : what ? carly : yeah , i was gon na heat it all up , put it on a big , beautiful piece of china , and hope that you 'd never ask for the ingredients . johnny : [ scoffs ] well , you know what ? cool with pizza . carly : oh , thank god ! [ both laugh ] that 's good to know . johnny : and this whole making - me - feel - special thing ? carly : mm - hmm . johnny : you do n't have to do that , because it automatically happens when you 're around . carly : confessions are good for the soul . [ both laugh ] everything 's out there , all of our secrets . johnny : yeah . carly : just do n't tell me you 're some amazing cook , okay ? johnny : no . i just -- i 've been known to heat something up every now and then . carly : really ? johnny : yeah . carly : i like that . [ kissing ] josslyn : mommy . carly : oh . johnny : what ? oh , hello ! carly : we have company ! johnny : hey . carly : hi ! come here ! you 're so adorable . [ grunts ] josslyn : it 's my -- carly : it 's your what ? you want a book to read ? johnny : oh , is that a book ? carly : a new favorite book ? johnny : are we gon na read a book again ? i was hoping we could read together . carly : go give him your book , yeah . johnny : what book is this ? `` a special ride . `` all right . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] kate : last thing i remember is that i was climbing the steps of the pier . ewen : you do n't remember shooting at anthony 's car ? kate : no , i do n't remember driving anywhere . sonny : what 's the next thing you know for sure ? kate : i -- i was back in my office . it was morning . the sun was shining through the window . i was staring in the mirror . i still had my wedding dress on . olivia came in -- sonny : she saw you in the wedding dress , right ? kate : yes , and she was appalled . i made up something . i do n't think she believed me , but why should she ? and -- and then i put -- i put on my work clothes , olivia left , uh ... i tried to -- to give myself something to do to stay busy , and that 's when you came in . sonny : gun had already been planted . kate : i do n't remember the gun , sonny . i do n't remember holding it or shooting it . sonny : is that unusual , that there 's one memory missing ? ewen : when connie confessed to you , what did she say about the gun ? sonny : she did n't say where she got the gun . she just said that she tailed anthony and then she shot out his tires , came to the office , planted the gun 'cause she knew i 'd show up there eventually . kate : i do n't understand . as soon as i remembered what triggered connie 's emergence all those years ago , we began to share memories . i remember everything she did -- how she plotted against you , how she attacked you , how she slept with johnny . i remembered all the horrible things that she did . why ca n't i remember this one ? [ scene_break ] jason : sam ca n't forgive me for her baby 's death . elizabeth : is it possible sam is blaming you , because it would hurt too much to blame herself ? jason : why would she blame herself ? elizabeth : i can only ... speak from my own experience . but when lucky and i made the decision to take jake off of life support ... you asked me to consider organ donation for josslyn ... and i attacked you . jason : [ sighs ] it 's because you were grieving . elizabeth : just like sam is . i accused you of not wanting jake , of not loving him , because , in the moment , it was easier to lash out at you than it was to face what i had done . and if sam can stay angry with you and blame you for everything ... then she never has to ask herself why she insisted on staying in that motel ... why she took her newborn out in bad weather or wandered off into the woods . she never has to ask herself ... if her son was still alive , would she have placed him in the planting box ? jason : but she was in shock . she did n't know what she was doing . elizabeth : you understand that , but sam does n't right now . she 's hiding from the pain that is too terrible to face . a mother can never forgive herself for failing her child . [ scene_break ] spinelli : being in love with someone does n't guarantee that they 'll love you in return . sam : did something happen with you and maxie ? spinelli : mrs. matthew hunter is a happily married woman and intends to stay that way until at least her golden anniversary . my attentions were ... a bother and burdensome . so i decided to withdraw them . sam : so you mean it ? you 're really giving up on maxie ? spinelli : yeah , but that does n't mean that i would give up on you and stone cold . sam : well , like you said , sometimes love is n't enough . spinelli : are you certain that there 's no chance ? sam : i just -- i wish it all could have been different , spinelli . i wish i never tried to track down that franco dvd or went after heather webber . spinelli : i 'm sorry . heather webber ? she 's the subject of my latest case . sam : you 're investigating heather webber ? spinelli : yeah . preliminary findings are skimmed , but -- sam : can i see ? spinelli : f - forgive me , but should you be -- sam : please ! spinelli , please . it 's a distraction . i need it . i 'm begging you . spinelli : if you insist . okay . all right , tell me about this case . what kind of trouble has heather gotten herself into ? [ scene_break ] heather : i was at the quartermaines ' that day , remember ? i saw the cops snooping around , and when i realized that anthony was dead , it was obvious you killed him . luke : uh , no , no . i did n't . heather , i did n't . tracy and i found his body in the boathouse , and we were trying to figure out what to do when the cops came around , so we moved him up to the terrace . that 's all . heather : but the cops still arrested you . they held you overnight . that proves what i did was right . luke : you disappeared the body . why did you do that ? heather : you were in serious trouble . i had to protect you . luke : you thought i 'd be grateful . heather : well , you 're not in jail , are you ? take it from someone who 's been incarcerated -- it 's a lot more fun being free . come on . let 's go celebrate . luke : uh , that is not going to happen , heather . heather : of course . your dinner plans with anna . i 'm afraid you 're gon na have to cancel those . [ scene_break ] delores : commissioner ? anna : yes ? officer padilla ? yeah ? can i help you ? delores : it 's about the leak in the department . it 's me . i gave johnny zacchara information about sonny corinthos when he was accused of shooting out anthony 's tires . anna : while sonny was facing trial ? you gave inside information about the case against him to johnny zacchara ? delores : i 'm your dirty cop . [ scene_break ] ewen : do you recall buying the gun , holding one ? kate : no , i do n't remember . sonny : what if connie was lying ? kate : what do you mean ? sonny : well , i mean , she hates me . what if she was lying about shooting out -- kate : why would she lie about something so horrible , sonny ? sonny : maybe because she wanted me to turn my back on you . would that give reason for her not to remember anything ? ewen : no , no , it 's too early to say . kate : you guys are grasping at straws to make me look innocent . i killed a man and his daughter . i am responsible . sonny : no . connie is responsible , not you . kate : sonny , connie is a part of me . i had the gun in my hand . sonny : it was n't you ! stop saying that ! i 'm sorry . you know what ? i feel like i 'm making this worse , so ... ewen : no , no , no . it 's -- it 's probably too soon for kate to be able to remember the incident . she 's too overwhelmed by it , see ? however , there 's another possibility . [ scene_break ] johnny : okay , we 're gon na read a book . it 's called `` a special ride . `` you brought it to me , so you must want to hear it , right ? carly : wait . do you think all you have to do is bat your blue eyes , and he 'll read to you ? johnny : oh , come on ! you 've stayed up past your bedtime , have n't you ? carly : all the time , right . johnny : all right , so she ca n't give you a hard time for doing the same , right ? carly : okay , okay . [ beeping ] johnny : is that the smoke alarm ? carly : oh , my god . oh , god . johnny : uh , yeah , you go take care of that . we 're gon na read . all right . you ready ? here we go . `` 1 , 2 , 3 ... `` hope : what about this story ... of what you did to my daddy and me ? [ scene_break ] ewen : connie originally emerged to deal with a truth that kate could n't face . perhaps that 's still the case . sonny : connie protected kate from everything that 's out in the open right now . so what 's the -- ewen : i agree , i agree . she 's confronted all the triggers to the alter . kate : not just the triggers , doctor -- everything that 's happened since -- having sex with johnny , hitting you with the paper weight . ewen : and yet , for some reason , connie is choosing to keep this event from you that appears to be tied to that accident . kate : but i already know what happened . two people are dead because of me . sonny : you need to -- you need to rest first , and then we 'll deal with the rest later . ewen : this is enough for one day . kate : no , i do n't want to rest ! i want to keep going , sonny ! ewen : there 's no point in forcing your mind to obey , okay ? it 's only gon na stress you out . kate : no , no . but i just want to find out ! i want to know right now . ewen : you will soon . okay ? i 'll be back tomorrow , and we 'll explore this further . kate : doctor , anything that connie did , at this point , could not be worse than what i already know . ewen : give yourself time to process , okay ? the memories may resurface at any moment . [ scene_break ] johnny : no , hope , you 're not here . you ca n't be here . hope : it 's your fault . i wanted to grow up , but i never will . i 'll never even live to be this age . i died when i was still a toddler , because you ran us off the road . johnny : i 'm sorry . it was an accident . you -- your car was n't supposed to be there . i never meant for you or your daddy to get hurt . i promise . and that 's why i 'm working so hard to make it up to starr , to make her happy . i will -- i promise , i will do everything in my power to make your mommy happy again . carly : johnny ? [ scene_break ] delores : my sister was murdered . her case went cold a long time ago , and i was desperate for answers . johnny promised to get them for me . anna : in exchange for information , i suppose . delores : anything i could get him on the case against sonny . anna : mm . delores : i compromised my badge , and it 's been eating me up ever since . here . i will save you the trouble of asking for it . [ scene_break ] dante : johnny told me kate 's alter connie is the one who caused the accident . that 's why she had the meltdown in the lineup room . that 's why they transferred her to shadybrook . lulu : i ca n't even believe that . dante : johnny also said that sonny 's covering it up . trying to make sure no one finds out kate was the real shooter . lulu : do you believe johnny ? dante : if johnny 's a suspect , you 'd think he 'd try to take the attention away from himself . lulu : have you told any of this to anna ? dante : i 'd like to talk to sonny first . go ahead . lulu : what ? dante : ask me how i can do my job and be loyal to my father at the same time . lulu : i 'm not -- i 'm not judging you . um ... i -- i 'm actually keeping a secret from my father about anthony . [ scene_break ] heather : you saw what i was willing to do for you . you have to know we belong together . luke : okay . that will never happen . heather : why not ? because of your feelings for anna ? she does n't understand you . she 'll never make you happy . luke : heather , let 's talk about what you 've done to make me happy ... starting with , where did you hide zacchara 's body ? heather : i put it someplace no one will ever find it . [ scene_break ] jason : sam did n't fail her baby . i did . elizabeth : you made mistakes , and so did sam . but even if you had done everything right , even if you had made it to the hospital ... he might not have survived . jason : just no way to know . elizabeth : exactly . there 's no way to know . jason : you know , at the cemetery ... i , uh -- i saw sam sitting on the bench . i could tell how hard she was crying . i could n't -- i could n't fix it . i could n't comfort her . and just for a second , i thought about our wedding day and the way ... and the way sam was smiling ... and how everything used to be so perfect . [ scene_break ] spinelli : well , olivia 's become increasingly concerned with heather 's odd behavior . sam : yeah , well , olivia is not the only one . spinelli : have you had a negative experience with ms. webber , as well ? sam : i 'll fill you in later . just ... let me know what you have so far , huh ? spinelli : okay . well , heather borrowed olivia 's car without permission the night of that terrible rainstorm . sam : the night my baby was born ? spinelli : uh , yes , yes . the very same . yeah , heather 's way was blocked by a road closure , and an officer that arrived to assist observed a person in the passenger seat , and heather said it was her husband . sam : okay . wait a minute . i did n't think heather had a husband . spinelli : yeah , nor do i . but the officer provided a description -- a white- haired man , older in years , passed out drunk . sam : any idea who it is ? spinelli : well , according to olivia , heather once had an obsession with luke spencer . sam : ooh . wait . you think luke was in the car with her ? spinelli : well , i have a call placed to the senior spencer and hoping to ascertain his whereabouts that night , and with any luck , he 'll call back shortly . [ scene_break ] luke : look , the police are investigating his disappearance . i really need you to bring him back . heather : why ? luke : well , there could be evidence on that body from the real killer -- maybe fibers , maybe even dna -- and that would exonerate tracy and me . heather : why risk it ? i mean , it 's not like the police have ever been fair to people like us . luke : but people like us should n't have to take the fall for a crime they did n't commit . the police are investigating . let 's let them do the work . heather : i do n't know . luke : heather ... heather : hmm ? luke : ... if you really care for me as much as you say you do , you 'll tell me where that body is . heather : i 'll do better than that . i 'll take you there . [ scene_break ] dante : anthony 's dead ? you 're sure ? lulu : my dad can tell a dead body when he sees one . dante : well , that makes this murder . lulu : well , we 're clear my dad is not the murderer . dante : oh , he and tracy just moved the body , right ? lulu : they were trying to avoid being wrongly accused . dante : by obstructing an investigation . lulu : they thought that they had it under control until his body disappeared . dante : you got to tell anna everything you know about your father and tracy . lulu : okay . as long as you tell anna everything you know about sonny and kate first . [ scene_break ] anna : you go ahead and keep that , all right ? delores : uh , i do n't understand . i just told you -- anna : yes , i know . you will face disciplinary action . but i 'm gon na offer you an opportunity to redeem yourself . delores : anything . anna : okay . a criminal -- he thinks you 're a dirty cop , so we can use that to our advantage . delores : what do you want me to do ? anna : i want you ... to continue feeding information to johnny zacchara .

[ sniffles ] do you remember the morning , after we did n't run away ? i was so afraid to talk to you , that you would ask me things and want answers . and i was afraid that -- that i would break down , and i would tell you what he did to me ... sonny : listen . kate : ... and that you 'd go after him and that you 'd ruin your life . sonny : i wish you 'd have just let me help you . kate : do you know how much you 're helping me right now , sonny ? do you know how much this means to me ? you stand by me while i tell you my darkest secrets . sonny : well , you better get used to it , because , uh ...

[ scene_break ] sam : i do n't want to sit around and wait for the phone to ring . i mean , besides , luke may or may not call back . i think we 've got to find another way to track heather 's movements , maybe get her phone records or something . spinelli : i do n't think ferncliff offered a cellular plan . sam : no , but maybe steve got her one , or she could have gotten a burner , although those are virtually untraceable . spinelli : perhaps if you apprise me of your dealings with heather . sam : the woman is nowhere near as recovered as she wants people to think she is . she 's hated me ever since i forgot to deliver that stupid letter . spinelli : what letter ? sam : when i went to see her at ferncliff , she agreed to tell me all about jason 's birth , but i had to give steve some letter , and then she started telling me about franco and jason being twins , and i was so upset , i left without it . spinelli : well , that 's an understandable lapse . sam : not from heather 's point of view . she got out of ferncliff , and she threatened to tell jason about franco before i was even ready . spinelli : oh , gosh . no doubt adding to the terrible strain that you were already under . sam : yeah , but once the truth came out , heather kept hinting that she would find another way to make me pay . spinelli : her hostility seems out of proportion to your transgression . sam : honestly , that woman needs to be back in ferncliff , and i would n't mind catching her doing something that would send her back there . [ scene_break ] heather : anthony 's body 's hidden not far from here . we can get there in two shakes . luke , are n't you coming ? luke : you know , now that i think about it , i think we should do this by the book . i mean , especially since anna and i are -- heather : anna and you are what ? luke : roommates . we 're roommates . and she 's police commissioner ? it just would n't look good for anybody if i were schlepping a stiff around . heather : are you sure that 's all you 're worried about ? luke : what else ? so , let me call anna , and we 'll have the police take care of this , and then we wo n't have to . yeah , believe me -- that 's the best way . heather : i 'm sorry , luke . i ca n't let you do that . [ hits luke on the head with a bottle , knocking him out . ] luke : ohh ! [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't see anything about heather 's release in here . spinelli : uh , well , perhaps you 're looking under `` ferncliff . `` it would actually be filed under `` recent activity . `` sam : okay , well , we need a filing system , spinelli . spinelli : i think the organizational system is quite clear . sam : clear to you , but not clear to everyone else . if it were clear to everyone else , maybe we 'd have it alphabetically . spinelli : yeah , increasing the ease in which an evildoer could penetrate the system or a disgruntled client . sam : i ca n't believe we 're doing this . we 're sitting here having chinese food and having the same argument . it 's kind of like old times . spinelli : i guess it is . sam : almost . [ scene_break ] ewen : i thought we said tonight . perhaps i 've got my wires crossed . jason : no , i was just -- uh , i was just leaving , actually . ewen : why do n't i open some wine ? jason : thank you for -- for listening . elizabeth : of course . you can come to me for anything . anytime . that 's what friends are for , right ? jason : well , have a good night . ewen : is everything all right ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , it 's fine . thank you . so , how was your first day back at work ? did you unlock the mysteries of the mind ? ewen : some . but there are still mysteries to be uncovered . [ scene_break ] sonny : [ breathes deeply ] see you later . kate : you do n't have to come back tomorrow , sonny . sonny : you do n't worry about that . you just get your rest . that 's all i care about . kate : well , i do n't think i 'll be able to until i tell the pcpd that i am the one that killed those people . sonny : no , no , no , no . listen to me , okay ? i do n't want you thinking about that . kate : you almost went to prison for a crime that i committed . sonny : i was acquitted . there 's no reason for you to go forward . kate : the investigation is still going on . even if i do n't remember causing that accident , i do n't want them going after another innocent person .

[ scene_break ] duke : so , michael kissed his brother 's girlfriend , who then turned out to be his cousin . aj : yeah . talk about an unexpected complication . i told michael to stay away from kiki . duke : that 's probably a good course of action . aj : except it throws a monkey wrench in our plans with elq . duke : how so ? aj : she and michael are about the same age . i was hoping that he could persuade her to vote with me and , in turn , persuade franco . duke : well , do n't worry . i 'm sure we 'll come up with a better course of action . aj : i sure hope so . because as much as it would work for me to have michael get close to this girl , i think it could be a recipe for disaster . [ scene_break ] kiki : forget about getting in debt for the second time in less than a month . now you 're stealing from your brother ? michael : like we were planning to steal from the guys in new york ? kiki : i set up that poker game hoping to hustle some trust - fund brats . that 's a lot different than ripping off your brother , and you know it . morgan : okay . and that game was n't completely legit . we were planning on cheating the whole time . kiki : well , now you 're gambling money that you do n't have again and this time , it 's michael 's money . what if the debt collectors come after him next , huh ? michael : i would n't worry about that . the card was declined . kiki : morgan , when those thugs came to my mom 's apartment to get money that you did n't have , they were going to beat the crap out of you for the second time , and michael is the one that stood up for you . michael put his life on the line . heck , i even put my life on the line for you . and now you were lying to the both of us , huh ? you 've been gambling again . morgan : i only did it for you , kiki . michael : oh , get your story straight , morgan ! you said you were gambling to win money to pay dad back . morgan : yeah , i want to do both -- i want to pay dad back , and i want to get kiki out from under her new family . kiki : you were gambling for me ? morgan : yes ! of course . i know how much your dad makes your skin crawl , and i do n't blame you . okay ? that bastard 's hurt everyone close to me . the last thing i 'm gon na do is let him hurt you , too . i was just hoping to win enough so you would n't have to spend another day under the same roof as that psycho .

[ scene_break ] sonny : listen to me . you should n't have to sacrifice yourself . all you got to do is lie low . shawn : i 'm not sure i can live with that -- sonny : carly lied to you . she told you that i ordered the hit . you should n't have to take the fall for something that was not your fault . shawn : the bottom line is , i pulled the trigger , and i shot the wrong person . okay , the last time that happened , i felt like i never paid the price for killing tj 's father , and i almost lost my mind . i ca n't go through that again . sonny : i understand , but going to the cops -- you think that 's the right thing to do ? shawn : look , the cops already suspect me , okay ? it 's only a matter of time before they get enough evidence . sonny : you should n't make assumptions . all you got to do is play this out . shawn : if i do n't turn myself in and this investigation continues , you and carly can be connected to the shooting , as well , and i 'm not willing to let that happen . sonny : you 're in the situation 'cause you work for me . shawn : no , i 'm in this situation because i shot an innocent woman . i -- i keep playing it in my head . i know olivia ran into my shot . but i had -- i had franco in my sights , man . and part of me still ca n't believe that i missed so badly . but i did , okay ? and it 's time for me to take responsibility for that . [ scene_break ] dante : your head of security says he 's never shut off any cameras before . connie has an alibi . that leaves you . did you really think we were n't gon na figure this out ? how are you gon na look at my mother in the eye , now that she 's awake ? carly : olivia 's awake ? dante : wow . that 's some relief for you . how do you like that ? you pretty happy you do n't have blood on your hands right now ? anna : we 've got to be smart about this . dante : no , you know what ? this does n't work with her . the `` good cop `` routine , it does n't matter . so , just so you know , we found the gun that was used to shoot my mother . ballistics has it right now . they 're gon na take a look at it . how long before you think we can trace that back to one of sonny 's guys ? carly : it was n't sonny . anna : well , who was it ? [ scene_break ] kiki : captain ... you 're right . it is hard living under the same roof as my dad . morgan : i know , baby . i just want to take care of you . michael : you know , it may have been for a worthy cause , morgan , but you still stole my credit card . kiki : mikey , can you please just take it easy on him ? morgan : you want your stupid card back so bad , i 'll go get it right this second . michael : and why do n't you cancel your account on that poker site while you 're at it ? morgan : okay . and why do n't you stop gawking at my girlfriend , and then maybe we have a deal ? kiki : mikey , i 'm sorry . i know that , deep down , morgan does care that he stole your credit card . michael : you do n't have to apologize . i 've known morgan his whole life . i only wish i was more surprised . kiki : just so you know , i had no idea that he was gambling again , and i 'm really sorry that he brought you into it . michael : right . all that matters is that it 's settled , you know ? kiki : right . well , you might want to keep better track of your credit cards next time . michael : yeah . uh ... something a little bigger 's been on my mind . we , uh ... have to figure out what we 're gon na do . kiki : about what ? michael : about us . [ scene_break ] ava : you do n't want just part of elq . you want the whole damn thing for yourself . franco : even if that were true , what are you gon na do about it ? ava : well , i was looking for aj , because i was just about to offer him the name of his relish saboteur for a healthy sum of cash . franco : mm . ava : but i stand to gain so much more , and you would get to keep your freedom if we unite . franco : when did this become about my freedom ? ava : well , with all the charges you 're facing , do you really want to add assault -- or whatever the legal term is for poisoning four people -- to the list ? does n't it make more sense to unite behind our common interests ? franco : and which of our common interests are you willing to admit ? ava : if you want me to keep my mouth shut , you 're gon na have to cut me in . [ scene_break ] aj : you know what ? we are gon na have to finish strategizing about kiki and franco later , because i have dinner with elizabeth . duke : oh , i 'm glad to hear that . how are things progressing on that front ? aj : you know , it 's actually the only area of my life that is n't a mess . i 'll be honest with you , duke , it was a little hiccup that threatened to ruin everything , but i 've worked that out . now nothing can stand in the way of our happiness .

[ scene_break ] amelia : why would you want to know sam 's whereabouts at the time jake spencer disappeared ? ric : well , she lost a baby of her own . she recently found out she ca n't have any more kids . amelia : lots of women ca n't have kids . it does n't mean they go out and kidnap someone else 's . ric : no , i did n't say that . amelia : you 're fishing . the park is a public place . any number of people had the opportunity to take that baby . ric : yeah , but , you see , we do n't think that the kidnapper was a stranger . amelia : so you 're jumping on sam as a suspect ? ric : no , we 're just covering all of our bases . we 're following standard procedure . amelia : nothing to do with the fact that you do n't like her ? ric : does sam have an alibi ? yes or no ? amelia : she was here at the studio . ric : did n't mention that before . amelia : you do n't believe me , ask anyone in my crew . ric : okay , why are you covering for sam and giving her an alibi when it 's pretty obvious that you do n't like her , either ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i hope you do n't mind that i 'm here . jason : no . how are you doing ? elizabeth : i 'm terrified . sometimes i -- i have faith that we 'll find jake and he 'll be all right . and then sometimes my mind drifts to every imaginable horror . jason : do n't let yourself go there . elizabeth , we have to stay hopeful . elizabeth : i 'm sure you 're just as scared -- maybe even more so being locked up in here . jason : no , the only thing that matters to me is finding jake , and we are going to find jake . elizabeth : thank you for thinking so clearly always . jason : i 'm not -- i 'm not so sure i do . elizabeth : well , jason , i was -- i was falling apart , i was giving in to panic , and then i came to see you and was able to think coherently . i -- i went home , and i wrote down everything that happened in the park , all the sequence of events and -- and who was with us . jason : did you -- did you come up with anything at all ? elizabeth : nothing . jason , what if -- what if jake -- jason : do n't -- do n't . do n't go there . i need you to stay strong for him and for me . i need you to believe our son will be found .

[ scene_break ] lulu : do you believe in karma ? like , if you do something wrong , the universe will even out the score ? spinelli : the -- the blond one is referring to elizabeth keeping silent about the innocent one 's paternity ? lulu : well , maybe if elizabeth had told the truth , then jake would n't have been kidnapped . spinelli : i -- i do n't believe in the universe playing , like , judge and jury . i -- elizabeth 's not to blame . lulu : but you thought it was wrong for her to lie . spinelli : yeah -- you know , i -- i just think -- i think it would be best , you know , if stone cold just came forward as the true , you know , father of the innocent one , and -- and maybe they could just share custody . lulu : yeah , but they had their reasons for hiding it -- the way lucky is acting right now , so angry and out of control . he would lose it completely if he found out that jake was n't his son . i mean , he 'd probably dive into a bottle of pills and never come back . i do n't know . i just -- i used to think that elizabeth and jason were wrong , that they were being unfair to lucky , and then i convince myself that they had made the right decision after all . and now -- i do n't know . maybe there is no right or wrong . maybe -- oh , maybe it 's just all a blurry middle ground . spinelli : you know -- you know , i think sometimes good people have to make tough decisions that cause them much pain , but , you know , it -- it does n't mean their goodness does n't shine as brightly . [ scene_break ] amelia : i told d.a . lansing that you were here at the studio when jake spencer was kidnapped because you assured me you had nothing to do with it . sam : i did n't . i did n't . it 's just , you know , ric lansing hates me . he would -- he would do anything to get me in trouble , so -- well , thank you . thank you for covering . amelia : yeah , no problem . sam : great . wes : we 're ready to walk through staging . sam : okay , i need the revised script because this one 's old . and would you mind , please , if you could get me some coffee ? wes : sure . sam : thank you very much . wes : mm - hmm . well , she 's a pro , even if she is drunk .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : do you think rosalie will believe that nina recorded that conversation ? tracy : rosalie worked for nina . she is well aware that that woman has screws loose . wait a minute . are we really saying that the future of elq hinges on what michael 's assistant believes about her old boss ? i am so grateful my father is not alive to see this . sabrina : look , if you 're about to start blaming michael for this , do n't . tracy : michael has made plenty of mistakes . at the top of the list is hiring rosalie . but the real problem is the elq stock . how did the quartermaines let so much of it slip out of our hands , and how much does nikolas really control ? that 's what they have to get out of rosalie , provided she falls for the ruse .

[ scene_break ] jake : everything that was said is right here . clear as a bell . hey , dante , you want to hear it for yourself ? dante : well , the da needs to hear this , too , so they can set the charges , right ? jake : oh , that 's true . hey , how much time could one get for corporate espionage ? dante : well , when you have a recording like this , it 's a pretty quick conviction . you have a motivated da . i mean , it 's up to the judge , but theft of trade secrets can lead up to anywhere 10 years . rosalie : i did n't steal anything . michael : no , maybe not , but you did traffic sensitive and confidential information , which adds up to the same thing , and we have it all on tape . dante : if you keep denying things , rosalie , you 're just digging yourself a deeper hole . and your own words are gon na damn you in the end . but it does n't have to go that far . rosalie : why not ? michael : we 're not after you . we 're after your boss . so , if you tell us who you 're working for , this whole thing can go away right now .

[ sighs ] sabrina : that did n't sound good . tracy : it 's not . a week ago , a stranger approached brook lynn about her shares , and the bad news is he had something over her . sabrina : he blackmailed her ? tracy : he used it as leverage , threatening to expose it if she did n't hand over her shares . sabrina : and you think this person might work for nikolas ? tracy : do n't you ? well , nikolas could n't very well extort brook lynn himself . the two of them used to date . i mean , what if brook lynn was so angry that she exposed the smarmy hypocrite sucking up to our family for years , going on about his great love for the dear departed emily , all the while robbing us blind . and we just found out about it , and it could be too late . dillon : mom , what are you yelling about ? tracy : what do you think ? nikolas has 50 % of the voting stock of elq , and all he needs is one more share to get control . dillon : well , i can promise you one thing -- nikolas wo n't be getting that share from me . although it wo n't be for lack of trying . [ scene_break ] lulu : you came here to talk to me about you and dante ? valerie : i 'm guessing you 've seen that ridiculous headline in the press . lulu : i saw it . it 's typical julian jerome tabloid rag . there was no story , so they made one up . obviously used a picture of you and dante out of context strung together with some innuendo . what 's new ? valerie : maxie had a different reaction . she stopped by the station earlier and kind of gave me an earful . lulu : about what ? valerie : she 's concerned that i 'm too close to dante . lulu : what ? i had no idea she was gon na do that . valerie : i got the idea that she was acting alone . i 'm sure she was just being defensive of her best friend . lulu : well , she is my best friend , and i 'm sure her intentions were good , but ... does n't mean that she was right . valerie : well , i wanted you to know what was said . maxie seems to believe that i 'm a threat to your marriage . and i told her i was n't . and i wanted to make sure that you knew that , too . you do n't think i 'm after your husband , do you ?

[ scene_break ] sam : you 're gon na use family to justify your actions ? well , guess what , nikolas ? the quartermaines are my family , too . remember danny ? his father is a quartermaine . you think you can destroy their legacy to just preserve your own ? nikolas : nobody is destroying anything . sam : except your integrity . nikolas , if jason were alive , if -- if the situation were reversed ... nikolas : no , no , no , no , no . sam : ... there is no way in hell he would ever do this to you . nikolas : he did n't want anything to do with elq . are you -- sam : do n't act like you do n't know what i 'm talking about ! nikolas : would you calm down for -- sam : are you kidding me ? he would never steal from you ! nikolas `` i 'm not stealing anything . i 'm simply making superior moves . if i beat you at chess , would you call that stealing ? sam : [ sighs ] you sound like helena right now . you know that ? nikolas : as i said , it 's just business . and for the record , i 'm nothing like helena . sam : [ scoffs , chuckles ] you sure about that ? nikolas : it was lovely to see you , sam . as always .

[ clears throat ] do n't start thinking that the best way to fight nikolas is to be like him . okay ? screwing people over , using them . that 's no way to live your life . and besides , in the end , you 're gon na lose anyway , because then no one owes you any loyalty . michael : yeah , well , right now , uh , it does n't look like nikolas is losing anything . jake : you 've got better resources than nikolas . starting with sam and me . unlike whoever nikolas is paying , sam and i , we 're motivated out of loyalty . michael : yeah , and you 're the head of security . jake : yeah . i 'm the head of security . look , michael , you had no reason to trust me . you took a chance and i owe you for that . i 'm gon na make sure that you realize that you were right for taking that chance . you can trust me . michael : well ... i already do . with your help , we might actually save this company .

[ scene_break ] lulu : to be perfectly honest , when you got to port charles , you leaned on dante quite a bit . valerie : it was n't intentional . i was dealing with a lot . lulu : i know . you were grieving . and dante was trying to be supportive , and i do n't really know you . and i thought that maybe you could be misinterpreting his kindness for something else , and honestly , when you took that job at the pcpd , you did n't -- you did n't exactly squash my fears . valerie : i did n't apply to the pcpd to be closer to dante . i applied because the work actually interests me , and i really needed a job . lulu : okay , i get it . i appreciate you coming over here to clear the air , and it 's something that i should 've done a long time ago . i should 've communicated my feelings . so , if you are telling me that you have no interest in my husband beyond friendship ... then i 'm gon na take you at your word . valerie : [ chuckles ] oh . i - i 'm so relieved to hear you say that .

[ laughs ] i - i 'm not sure because i - it seemed like you guys broke up for some really important reasons -- like the baby thing . nina : yeah , the baby thing . i pressured him to have a baby with me , and when he was resistant to the idea , i just stopped talking about it and i just barreled ahead without even considering his feelings , and then when he said , `` hey , it 's fine just us . we could be together and in love without children , `` i did n't really believe him . maxie : do you feel differently now ? nina : no , i do n't ! especially after seeing him at the nurses ' ball with little jake , up there onstage . i mean , he was incredible . maxie : okay . nina : i mean , it just confirmed that he 's meant to be a father . maxie : that was very sweet . [ chuckles ] okay ? but that is a long way from parenthood . nina : oh , you sound like franco . i mean , he just fluffed it off like it was nothing , too . but i know what i saw . i know what i saw . i saw a wonderful , beautiful man up there onstage helping a little boy , and he was up there for the entire world to see because of jake . and then i just kept on -- [ voice breaking ] i just kept on thinking -- that 's the kind of father that he would be , to our child . maxie : so you 're saying the situation is not resolved . nina : it 's resolved . i ca n't have a baby . i mean , i 've accepted that . i 'm okay with it . i 'm fine with it , really . and i 've accepted that for whatever reasons franco has , he does n't want to be a father . okay , he does n't want to be a father . it breaks my heart . there 's really nothing i can do about it . but i 've accepted it . maxie : does franco know that ? nina : i wanted to tell him in person . but he , um -- anyway . i should just text him . i think my phone is in the mail . wait . here . maxie : you got it ? nina : yes . let me see what he says .

[ scene_break ] franco : ever since jason started to remember things , i 've been confronted with everything that i 've done to so many people . his hatred of me has reminded me of all of the disgusting and horrible things i 've ever done . and i was pretending , i guess , that i was n't that guy anymore , that was a guy who 's capable of loving , that i was worthy of being loved . i 'm never gon na be that guy . i should just give up all together . elizabeth : oh , for god 's sake , franco . for all your faults , i never thought of you as a self - pitying whiner .

[ ethan laughs ] johnny : no , i 'm serious . that sucks . i 'm sorry . ethan : you win some , you lose some , you know ? johnny : well , you can drop the facade . i know you had feelings for her . ethan : does n't matter , does it ? anyway , i actually just came by to warn you , storm clouds are brewing . johnny : oh , that ai n't good . ethan : sonny 's pissed off . i think anthony 's making his presence known . johnny : yeah . well , those two are always itching for a fight . ethan : where does that leave you ? johnny : smack in the middle , as usual . but if i play my cards right , i could hold off armageddon after all . ethan : how ? johnny : the key to dealing with sonny is through michael . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] jason : just find somebody else to track the money . ok . let me know . edward : may i come in ? jason : sure . edward : jason , i know you are n't much on small talk , so i 'll get right to the point . monica and i were deeply hurt that we were n't invited to michael 's graduation . jason : i 'm sorry . edward : no need to apologize . our disappointment was mitigated by the relief that michael actually lived to experience this rite of passage . and i want to capitalize on that momentum , get him on a fast track . jason : to what , exactly ? edward : i want to offer michael a summer internship at elq . it 's time he got back to his real family . jason : michael already has a job . he 's working the coffee warehouse this summer . edward : that 's a mob front . that 's no place for michael . jason : the coffee business is actually legitimate , grandfather . edward : i do n't expect you to say anything different . so , michael plan to go to college ? jason : he got accepted at pcu . edward : excellent . all the more imperative that he learns how a real corporation is run . so , are his grades good ? jason : yeah . they 're very , very good . edward : you know , i should n't even have to be asking you these questions . you know that . jason : i do n't want to fight . i mean , you want michael to work for elq ? you should talk to him . it 's up to him to decide that . edward : he 'll do what you say . jason : michael does what he wants . edward : maybe . but you exert a great deal of influence . if you support his going to elq , he 's much more likely to agree . jason : i think you 're giving me too much credit . edward : hmm . so that 's your answer , huh ? michael is 19 , and you wash your hands of any responsibility in his future , huh ? i do n't want to fight with you either , jason . you had the very best of intentions . but when michael was a baby , you handed him over to sonny . and michael has been paying the price for it ever since . now , this is your chance to make things right .

[ scene_break ] alexis : so are you saying that i overreacted when they took off together ? sonny : that 's the right reaction . that 's the appropriate reaction that a parent has when their daughter takes off with a married man who makes a living pouring drinks and scamming people . it 's the reaction that i want to see more from you . alexis : oh . sonny : that 's the kind of reaction that i want to see . alexis : i 'll make sure that i do that for you . i love when you get all superior about how people earn a living . i mean , it just never fails to amuse me . sonny : you 're deflecting because you 're naive about the situation . but see , here 's the thing . this crush that kristina has on ethan has to end , and i 'm going to tell you why -- because i 'm a man . alexis : ohh . sonny : no , listen to me . kristina keeps pushing and pushing this relationship with ethan . as a man -- i do n't care how platonic this relationship is -- he will give in , and something 's going to happen . do you want that ? alexis : no . sonny : no . so stop letting her manipulate you into complacency . you are the mother . you tell her what you want . and that 's done . alexis : you are such a hypocrite . sonny : why ? alexis : because michael is living with an ex - stripper , and that gets your seal of approval ? sonny : that 's different . alexis : really ? how ? sonny : 'cause michael 's a boy . alexis : and ? sonny : and nothing . alexis : oh , my god . i got to go . sonny : as long as we 're clear on what i said . alexis : oh . yeah , we 're clear .

rosalie : i am a lot of fun . nina : where was i ? rosalie : uh , silas does n't realize who his true enemy is . nina : silas does n't realize who his true enemy is because his true enemy is -- rosalie : it 's you . now get back in your chair . nina : do i interrupt you on your rants ? rosalie : i do n't rant . nina : did he just think i was gon na forget that he was having an affair ? rosalie : i guess not . nina : did he think that i was gon na forget that he just left me for dead for 20 years ? rosalie : because your parents would n't let him see you . nina : no , no , no , no , no , no . his -- no . he never tried to get past my mother . he never tried . he was such an ingrate . i defied my entire family for him . rosalie : is n't that kind of what rich girls do ? nina : [ sighs ] i - i supported him through medical school . think about it . he and sam are actually going out tonight on my dime . oh . but you know what ? i planted a seed . i planted a seed in his head that should put a damper on their little dinner date . rosalie : well , i hope you did n't just keep pointing out how trashy she is , because most men kind of like that . nina : [ sighs ] i said that i noticed that sam was still wearing her wedding ring . can you imagine that ceremony ? she must have been so excited to wear her best tube top . rosalie : do you think it got the effect you were looking for ? nina : even if it did n't , that relationship is so very , very over . i 'm gon na put an end to it . sam : [ chuckles ] best picnic ever . silas : i 'm glad you liked it . sam : i loved it . i hope there 's no dessert because i do n't think i could eat another bite . silas : no , just more wine . sam : mmm . wine i like . silas : okay . sam : thank you . what ? silas : nothing . sam : do n't say `` nothing . `` you were looking at my- you were looking at my wedding ring , were n't you ? silas : it 's nothing . nina asked me if it bothered me that you still wear it . sam : well , does it ? levi : you think i lied to the judge ? why ? or , better yet , how ? you think i just rang him up and went , `` g'day , judge . it 's levi dunkleman here . look , i 'm not sure whether you 're aware of this , but detective west lied to you . `` nathan : well , maybe you did . levi : then why did n't he recognize me in court ? nathan : you could have done it anonymously . levi : but why ? why would i make such a call ? nathan : maybe to make trouble for me . levi : [ scoffs ] nathan : or maybe it 's because you wanted to make sure that maxie never gets a chance to see her daughter . maxie : i just do n't get it . i mean , the judge totally believed nathan the first time . lulu : well , i mean , why would n't he ? nathan 's a cop . he would have no reason to doubt him . maxie : so , then why did he , out of nowhere ? lulu : do you think that someone tipped him off ? maxie : maybe , but i do n't know who could have possibly -- rocco : [ coos ] lulu : oh , wait . someone is up from his nap . hey , buddy . hi . mommy 's here . oh , it 's my big boy . maxie : you 're so good with him . lulu : come here . do you want to hold him ? franco : josslyn . look who it is . josslyn : kiki ! kiki : hi ! i bought you a present . josslyn : `` frozen `` ? i love that movie . franco : i love that movie , too . i love that movie . josslyn : you do n't even know what it is . franco : yeah , i do . it 's -- it 's about everything being frozen . duh . josslyn : thanks for the sticker book , kiki . you 're nice . kiki : [ chuckles ] franco : okay , that kid hates me . kiki : she does not hate you . franco : trust me . she hates me . i - i - i caught her sneaking up on me with a crowbar . kiki : she hates you . franco : mm - hmm . kiki : what do you have babysitting duties for , anyway ? where 's carly ? franco : i do n't know . probably playing house with her ex - husband . carly : franco and i are fine . ava : i 'm sure you are . i 'm sure he has no problem with you running over here to protect sonny from little old me . carly : why would he ? franco and i are very secure in our relationship . ava : well , then he must have changed , because , as i recall , he was the jealous type -- artistic temperament and all that . carly : ah . i do n't give him anything to be jealous about . ava : not even running over here to be at sonny 's side ? carly : okay , my ex - husband that you claim that i 'm so obsessed about is nowhere in sight . i 'm not spending time with sonny . i 'm spending time with you . sonny : i 'm back . ava : you were saying ? silas : it never used to bother me before that you still wear your ring . sam : but it does now ? silas : well , i - i just thought that maybe when we finally admitted to each other how we -- how we really felt that , you know , maybe you would -- of course , that same day , nina showed up . sam : yeah , crashing my son 's birthday party . silas : so , maybe that 's what this night is about , you know , a little bit -- about creating new memories -- you know , just you and me , right here , right now . no ghosts . just a fresh start . sam : yeah , i see . silas : maybe it was n't such a good idea . i mean , hey , my supposedly passed wife is now living in my apartment , so i really should n't be bothering you about still wearing your ring . sam : but it does bother you now . silas : no . maybe . a little . sam : okay . why do n't -- why do n't i just take it off ? nina : you know what else galls me , rosemary ? rosalie : it 's rosalie . nina : whatever . is i have to be so loving and supportive of silas ' new life . it 's exhausting . he left me to rot for two decades . as i see it ... i should get that time back . and i intend to . you know what ? in fact -- in fact , i 'm gon na get payback on everyone who screwed me over . yeah . wait . get -- where -- where 's my list ? rosalie : what list ? nina : my list of everyone who screwed me over . my list -- we were talking about it . rosalie : oh ! no , that was a list of things that gall you . it was also imaginary . nina : oh , well , then we need a list . here -- i need a list . here -- get me a pen and paper right now . i need to make a list . rosalie : [ chuckles ] get them yourself , since you 're so hell - bent on walking around . nina : well , now i feel like sitting . can you please fetch me a pen and paper , rosalie ? please ? be a dear . rosalie : mademoiselle . nina : gracias . rosalie : de nada . nina : [ sighs ] all right . all right . my list . who 's gon na pay ? first , it 's , um , mother . mother . for killing [ voice breaking ] my unborn child ... and therefore allowing all of this to happen . and then ... silas . rosalie : yeah , we do n't need to get into that whole thing . nina : sam . sam . and , um ... who else ? who else makes the list ? who else should be on the list ? oh , i know . that slut ava jerome . sonny : what 's going on here ? ava : well , apparently , carly does n't think your army of goons is enough to protect you from me , so she has appointed herself my prison matron . what 's that ? sonny : that 's your dinner . ava : pizza ? well , what a thoughtful dinner to provide for an expectant mother . sonny : it 's got all four food groups . you got crust -- bread , cheese -- dairy , right ? tomato sauce -- vegetables , pepperoni -- meat . ava : hmm . and what about all that grease ? what food group is that ? sonny : well , i thought that would remind you of julian . carly : [ chuckles ] i do n't know what you 're complaining about because that sounds like heaven to me . ava : you heard the man . the pizza 's for me ... and my baby corinthos . i think i 'll take it to my room . i 'm sure you two want to be alone . kiki : carly is with sonny ? franco : yeah , morgan told carly that ava was with sonny , and so , naturally , carly dropped everything and flew right over there . kiki : why ? franco : well , i guess she does n't like the idea of ava shacking up with sonny . kiki : morgan is n't too fond of it , either . franco : why ? because he thinks that sonny and ava are -- kiki : are romantically involved ? he 's convinced . i just do n't think that 's what it is . franco : um , why ? what do you think it is ? kiki : my mom says it 's because she needs protection from uncle julian . franco : but you do n't buy it ? kiki : no , it has to be something else . i just have no idea what it could be . franco : well , you know , best to just leave it alone . i mean , who knows why ava does anything , right ? kiki : franco ? franco : hmm ? kiki : do you know something about this ? maxie : are you sure that you want me to hold him ? lulu : why would n't i be ? maxie : do you really have to ask that question ? after everything that we 've been through , i would n't blame you if you wanted to keep a 10-foot radius between rocco and me at all times . lulu : maxie , it 's over . we 're putting it behind us , and i honestly want you to know my son . maxie : you really trust me ? lulu : definitely . and right now , rocco is not who i 'm worried about . here . take him . maxie : i do n't know . lulu : maxie , i know how good it feels to hold this little guy in my arms , and i 'm pretty sure that you can use a dose of that right now . [ gasps ] look what she has . come on over . here you go . maxie : hi . rocco : [ fusses ] both : hey . lulu : [ gasps ] hi . levi : you 're talking out of your hat , mate . i fully supported maxie 's decision . nathan : well , not at first . in fact , you were dead set against max ever having anything to do with her daughter . levi : i just did n't want maxie to get hurt again . but whatever she decides , i 'm on her side . nathan : of course you are . levi : and as for making trouble for you , was i not the one who tried to stop you from lying ? i even tried to distract the judge while you were sitting up there -- nathan : i know , and you made a big , grand thing out of it . i remember . yeah . got to be the good guy . get what you want . all the while , without maxie ever suspecting the truth . so , come on , levi . be a man . just admit it . maxie : you were right , lulu . this is amazing . lulu : babies have special healing powers . maxie : [ chuckles ] ugh , it 's hard to believe i ever even hesitated about seeing georgie . lulu : why did you ? i 'm -- i know that you were scared , but since when has fear stopped you ? maxie : i know , right ? and i probably would have gone to the original hearing if levi had n't convinced me that losing georgie was what was best . lulu : i 'm sorry -- excuse me ? maxie : yeah , levi saw how much pain the whole situation caused me , and he thought everything with georgie turned out how it was supposed to . lulu : so , losing your baby was the way it was supposed to work out ? maxie : i know how it sounds . but he 's very empathetic . lulu : what made you wise up and stop listening to levi ? maxie : nathan , actually . he helped me see that it was just because i was scared . you know , i liked him from the second he walked in to sublet my apartment . it 's when i got back from my trip that we sort of clashed . lulu : detective west is a stand - up guy . he let me cry on his shoulder when dante and i were having some problems . maxie : which were also my fault . lulu : maxie . water , dam , over . move on . we 're talking about nathan . maxie : well , he really has helped me . i just wish that he and levi got along better . they always seem to be at each others ' throats . levi : `` be a man `` ? you mean a man like you -- someone who carries a badge and a gun and who does n't fully know how to express his emotions ? sorry , but i do n't have to push down my feelings . if i feel something , i express it . nathan : ah . well , since you are so good at expressing yourself , why do n't you just admit you tipped off the judge ? levi : oh , nathan , nathan , nathan . even if i did do what you 're saying -- and i 'm not saying that i did -- there 's no way you could ever prove it . silas : do n't take off your ring , okay ? not if you 're not ready to . sam : wearing my ring was my way of holding on to jason , to our life together . silas : and i get that . sam : i know . i know you do , but -- but maybe i should n't be holding on to the past anymore , especially since the past seems to be invading our present . so , i think maybe we should do exactly what you just said -- make a fresh start , new memories . silas : i can get on board with that . sam : uh , i will never ... forget my past , and i will always love jason ... but you are my future . nina : ava jerome . pbht ! home - wrecking slut . where does she get off sleeping with my husband ? did she not see the ring that i put on his finger ? rosalie : some women consider that a challenge . nina : oh , and she really rose to the challenge , did n't she ? i 'll never , ever forget the day that my mom showed me those pictures of my husband and ava ... rosalie : canoodling ? nina : screwing . nina : i wanted to wring her neck ... but i never got the chance because my needle - happy mother ... took away my baby . she took away my marriage . [ voice breaking ] she took away my life , and they all went on with theirs , and i stayed asleep . i 'm awake now . and i 'm not gon na stop until i punish ava jerome and her little girl . kiki : franco , do you know why sonny moved my mom into his house ? franco : i mean , it 's got to be julian , right ? he 's a dangerous guy . i mean , that 's -- why else would i mistakenly tell you that ava was dead ? kiki : that was because you thought julian was going after her ? franco : that is correct . yeah . i mean , why else would ava live there ? kiki : do you have a problem with it ? franco : why would i care where ava lives ? kiki : no , not with my mother . with carly -- that she went charging over there . you a little jealous of sonny ? franco : morgan says i should be . kiki : morgan ? when did you talk to him ? when did he let you talk to him ? franco : before he moved out , he told me that sonny 's always gon na come first for carly , and that kind of got in my head a little bit . kiki : i 'm sure you have nothing to worry about . franco : well , i hope you 're right . sonny : i appreciate that you stayed , but you did n't have to do that . carly : i - i wanted to put ava on notice . i 'm gon na be watching her every move , especially around you . you can not trust her , sonny . i mean , ava jerome is the one enemy you can not keep closer . sonny : ava found an opening when i was n't in my -- i was n't in my right mind , you know ? but i 'm doing good , so she ca n't get to me . carly : are you sure ? sonny : yeah . and -- and i appreciate that , you know , like i said before , you got my back . carly : always . always . sonny : ahh . carly : well ... sonny : all right . carly : see you later . nathan : you want to know something , levi ? it 's one of the first things you learn about being a cop -- innocent people do n't talk about proof . it 's only the guilty ones . levi : even so ... an accusation is pointless without that proof . excuse me . my girlfriend needs me to go comfort her . nathan : [ sighs ] lulu : nathan and levi really do n't like each other ? maxie : that 's an understatement . lulu : why do you think that is ? maxie : i do n't know . maybe 'cause they 're different . levi did stick up for nathan in court today . and he really came around about me wanting to see georgie . lulu : okay . well , that 's progress . maxie : yeah , baby steps , right ? i just wish i was holding georgie right now how i 'm holding little rocco . rocco : [ coos ] maxie : [ chuckles ] lulu : you will someday . maxie : i do n't know . lulu : maxie , look at me . you will . rocco : [ coos ] franco : you love that sticker book , do n't you ? so , which one 's adele dazeem ? josslyn : there is no adele dazeem . franco : tell that to john travolta .

[ chuckles ] what the hell do you think you 're doing ? nina : kiki . [ scoffs ] what kind of name is that ? how did ava come up with such an insipid name ? rosalie : i think it 's a nickname . nina : what , for the gaelic word meaning `` my mother is a whore `` ? rosalie : yeah . i 'm sure that 's it . nina : well , it does n't matter . she 's on the list . rosalie : why ? what did that kid ever do to you ? nina : um , i 'm sorry . she was born is what she did to me , while my baby with silas is nothing -- not even a memory -- nothing ! while his baby with ava is out walking the earth , breathing the air that my baby should be breathing . rosalie : okay . that 's a little bit -- nina : enough . enough . enough , or you 're going on the list . i swear to you -- you 're going on the list . [ sighs ] let 's review . all right , so mother . she is in jail , and that 's not perfect scenario , but it 'll do . okay , so , mother . and silas -- what am i gon na do to him ? well , i 'm gon na take away his buxom girl toy .

jake : uh , you confronted nikolas . sam : i did , and he admitted everything . jake : i 'm sorry your cousin 's involved in this . not only did he betray michael , he betrayed you , too . but the good news is , uh , we discovered his plan just in time to stop him . [ scene_break ] tracy : nikolas does not have a majority . michael : yeah , maybe not , but he does control half of elq , which means we 're gon na have to deal with him sooner or later . nikolas : looks like sooner . it appears we all have some business to discuss . [ sighs ] oh , i 'm sorry . was this seat taken ? [ scene_break ] sam : to silver linings . [ clink ] jake : that 'll work . sam : yes , at least the truth came out before nikolas could cause too much damage to michael . jake : ahh . well , uh , i do n't think nikolas is gon na be able to run from this . sam : what do you mean ? jake : he could be charged with corporate espionage . sam : based on the evidence we gathered ? jake : no . [ clears throat ] based on the fact that rosalie martinez is down at the pcpd , spilling her guts as we speak . [ scene_break ] dante : did you talk to lulu ? valerie : i did . there 's something i need to tell you . dante : okay . is everything all right ? lulu : we have to keep this secret from everyone , especially dante . dillon : it 's our secret . valerie : everything 's fine . dante : really ? [ chuckles ] 'cause you do n't -- you do n't seem all that fine to me . what is it ? tell me . [ scene_break ] lulu : another quartermaine disaster . well , this is why we always understood each other . the only family more dysfunctional and disaster - prone than yours is mine . dillon : i just hope we did n't blow anything for your parents . if valerie heard more than you think she did ... you said she 's close to dante . she might say something to him , which would be a whole new nightmare since the kidnappers said no cops . lulu : valerie did n't hear anything .

[ scene_break ] dante : did something happen with you and lulu when you went to talk to her ? valerie : we talked , and i told her maxie tried to warn me off you after seeing the photo of us in the news . dante : right , and she said she had no idea that she confronted you . valerie : you 're right . she had no idea . she apologized for maxie . dante : yeah , i kinda thought she would do that . [ sighs ] valerie : and just in case , i told her maxie had the wrong idea and there 's nothing to worry about . dante : good . so things are better between the two of you ? [ telephone ringing ] valerie : sure . dante : [ sighs ] all right , so what are n't you telling me ? [ scene_break ] michael : what are you doing here , nikolas ? unless you 're here to explain how this has all been a mistake ? that you have n't been taking advantage of your history with my family with emily to make a run at elq . nikolas : oh , i had n't planned on revealing my intentions until i secured a majority , but after sam confronted me at the metro court , i realized rosalie had been compromised . tracy : uh - huh , yes . even as we speak , she 's making a full disclosure to police . we agreed not to press charges if she told us everything she did on your behalf . michael : how long do you think this will last , nikolas ? your shares will be useless once you 're indicted for corporate espionage . and get your feet off my desk . nikolas : [ chuckles ] let the lawyers deal with the busywork , michael . we have more pressing matters to discuss . tracy : okay , how about you give us back the shares , and maybe the judge will go easy on you ? nikolas : [ sighs ] in addition to the shares originally controlled by tracy , alice , skye , her daughter , and ned ... i 've just secured brook lynn 's shares as well . tracy : `` secured `` ? you mean blackmailed and stole . i do n't know what you have over my granddaughter , but she was devastated when i spoke to her . nikolas : i regret hurting brook lynn . i do . tracy : [ laughs ] yeah . i can see the remorse rolling off you in waves . nikolas : oh , brook lynn and i were once very ... mmm . close . but the end game is , i control half of this company , so you 're going to have to deal with me whether you like it or not . [ scene_break ] sam : nikolas is family , so i ca n't be happy that he 's gon na lose , but he brought this on himself . i mean , the quartermaines were his in - laws , and they trusted him , and he completely violated that trust . not to mention that he broke the law . jake : well ... those laws do n't directly lead to a prosecution . it really depends on what rosalie is going to give up in her statement . sam : i 'm actually shocked that you actually got her to talk . [ chuckles ] i mean , she 's an experienced con . i 'm sure this is n't the first time things have gone wrong for her . jake : yeah , well ... [ clears throat ] i might 've had a little strategic maneuver of my own . sam : did you now ? jake : yes , i did . sam : [ laughs ] jake : see , i led her to believe that nina clay recorded the entire conversation when rosalie bought the shares . sam : really ? 'cause nina never mentioned anything about a recording to me . jake : that 's because she did n't record anything . this is really a taylor swift album . sam : um , i 'm sorry . that was n't a part of the plan . did you just say taylor swift ? jake : in my defense , cameron uploaded it to -- to the device . but it -- in -- it -- it 's a -- it 's a pretty -- pretty good album . do n't -- do n't hate on miss -- miss taylor swift . t - swizzle . sam : t - swizzle ? ! jake : [ laughs ] sam : who are you ? jake : um ... sam : [ laughs ] wait , wait , wait . what would you have done if rosalie actually pressed `` play `` on that thing ? jake : well , i might 've started with a two - step ... sam : [ laughs ] jake : gone into the cadillac , something like this ... sam : no . no . jake : and the right back into the shopping cart . sam : do n't go there . stop ! jake : just like this . sam : that 's too much .

[ laughs ] patrick : this looks like fun . sam : hey ! patrick : hi . sam : [ laughs ] this is a nice surprise . patrick : yeah . sam : mmm . patrick : what 's so funny ? jake : uh ... well ... you kind of had to be there , i guess . elizabeth : and where is `` there , `` exactly ? 'cause last i knew , you guys were on -- oh , opposite sides . jake : uh , well , actually ... no . sam was spying on elq , but as it turns out , we were working towards the same goal the entire time . sam : wait a minute . how did you know i was investigating elq ? elizabeth : patrick mentioned something . patrick : yeah ... i did . sam : oh . patrick : it kinda just came up . sam : did he now ? really ? patrick : but no harm , no foul , right ? sam : mm - hmm . patrick : because it 's out in the open . jake just said that you guys are working towards the same goal , trying to find the same person at elq . sam : [ inhales deeply ] patrick : not just my fault . sam : hence the drinks . we actually were able to figure out who was trying to take over the company , and you will never guess who it was . [ scene_break ] tracy : how can you do this to a family you were once a member of ? nikolas : [ sighs deeply ] tracy : what would emily say ? nikolas : do n't throw her in my face . you hated emily . you treated her like crap . tracy : i was hard on emily . emily was hard on me . that 's the quartermaine way . nikolas : she was better than all of you . you refused to accept her into your family , when all she gave you was understanding and acceptance . tracy : and do you think she would understand you becoming a blackmailer and a thief ? so much for the soulful prince . just like i always thought -- you 're just an average cassadine . nikolas : you all brought this on yourselves . the childish squabbling between the quartermaines , the constant turnover in ceos . that 's exactly why this company is vulnerable . tracy : on the contrary . the company is doing better than ever , thanks to michael . he 's been doing a really good job . nikolas : [ laughs ] really ? then why am i standing here with 50 % of your company ? tracy : not through any canny business negotiation . let 's see , 15.5 % was ransom paid for luke . 16.5 % luke swindled out of skye . ned was blackmailed , and then you had rosalie buy those shares from a madwoman , . and you extorted brook lynn 's shares from her . so i 'd say that those are not really ... [ clicks tongue ] business transactions . they 're felonies . nikolas : none of that can be proved . the way i see it , elq needs me to bring it back up to the standards edward held it to . tracy : do n't you dare mention my father 's name . michael : if you think you 're gon na take my great - grandfather 's legacy , you are in for a rude awakening . [ scene_break ] lulu : i ca n't believe how much damage nikolas has done to your family 's company . dillon : i 'm glad i decided against handing over that half a percent of elq to him . that would 've been the nail in the coffin . lulu : i just ca n't believe that he stood here right in front of me and tried to trick you into giving him control of elq . all that talk about letting you be independent from the quartermaines was a bunch of bull . and i encouraged you to take the deal . i 'm so sorry . dillon : hey , you had no idea . lulu : well , at least he only has 50 % of the voting stock . at most , he can deadlock your family . dillon : yeah , unless it comes down to a tiebreaker . lucy : yoo - hoo ! oh ! yoo - hoo ! quartermaines ? quartermaines , where are you ? alice said i should show myself into the study , which is no problem because i used to live here , briefly , but i lived ... here . dillon : [ lowered voice ] lulu , i got ta call you back . lulu : is everything okay ? dillon : oh , yeah . bye . lulu : okay , bye . [ knock on door ] lulu : maxie , hi . maxie : hi . are you alone ? lulu : uh ... yeah . uh , rocco -- he 's asleep , and dante 's at work . maxie : oh , good , because i was in the city getting my hair cut , and i picked up a special batch of baked by clarissa 's . they even have our names on them . lulu : uh , what do you want ? maxie : excusez - moi ? lulu : cupcakes are to you what bridge closures are to mayor lomax . you definitely want something . maxie : okay , fine . uh , i - i maybe stuck my nose into your business and made matters worse . lulu : you mean when you tore valerie 's head off about that stupid headline in the press ? maxie : so you 've heard . [ chuckles ] let me guess . did dante go off about me ? lulu : uh , i actually have n't spoken to dante yet . but valerie -- she had a few things to say . maxie : ugh . [ scene_break ] valerie : dante , seriously , everything 's fine . consider the air cleared . dante : she did n't give you a hard time about that article , right ? valerie : no , nothing like that . she said she appreciated me coming to her and that she believed me . dante : right . that 's why i told you . we 're good . valerie : yep . [ telephone ringing ] dante : what 's bothering you ? valerie : [ sighs ] what makes you so sure something 's bothering me ? maybe i 'm just moody . dante : no , what you are is a terrible liar . what is going on ? what is it ? was there something about you and me ? what ? valerie : no , it has to do with lulu and dillon . [ scene_break ] lucy : it is so good to see you ! you look so good . you really -- dillon , you look great . dillon : it 's -- it 's good to see you , too . lucy : okay , i got your mother 's message . she called and said -- thank you -- that she needed my services right away . so of course , i marched over here pronto . but what i take this to mean is that luke has finally come to his senses and the engagement with tracy is back on , which , frankly , i find very surprising . why would she take that dumb - dumb back ? like , right ? so easily ? groveling . i bet it was groveling . and jewelry . you know , turquoise for me , right now , is very important . it 's kinda spiritual . and diamonds . if i could get diamonds and groveling , then i probably would do -- dillon : no . that 's actually not the case . lucy : it 's not ? dillon : no . my mother and luke are not engaged . in fact , luke and laura actually left town together . [ scene_break ] luke : jennifer , that sham engagement of ours was back in the carter administration . now i do n't know if anybody 's ever explained this to you before , but when you do n't see anyone or talk to them for decades , it indicates that the relationship is over . it 's over , jennifer ! move on ! jennifer : i have moved on , luke . give me more credit than that . but i will tell you , in the last 10 years or so , i started cataloguing my relationships . you know , my first marriage to bogs ended in disaster . then i was pen pals with this inmate named whitey parrish . that ... was weird . wait , was that his name ? whitey parrish ? who knows ? anyway , another dead . and i was even swindled by a guy in wales who claimed to be a lord . laura : you really know how to pick 'em , do n't you , jennifer ? jennifer : you know , despite your judgey tone , laura , i agree with you . the disaster that is my personal life is my own doing . i spent my first act letting daddy set up dates with me , and i spent the next act seeking out the unattainable . well , after years of therapy , i finally got to the root of why i ca n't let someone else into my heart . and that is because i never got closure with my first love . ahab never got to conquer his white whale . you 're my white whale , luke , and i can not move on with my life until i land you , even if it 's for just one night . [ scene_break ] patrick : why would -- why would nikolas be trying to take over elq ? i mean , that does n't make a lot of sense to me . he 's got a ton going on with the fire , spencer 's injury , not to mention his grandmother . sam : well , this is partly helena 's doing . apparently , she and victor had been siphoning funds from the cassadine fortune , and nikolas needs a new source of income to ensure the future of spencer . patrick : the guy 's got enough money , does n't he ? sam : [ sighs deeply ] jake : you do n't sound convinced . sam : well , i just -- i do n't think it 's just about the money . i mean , you should 've seen the look in his eye . it was like he wants to be in charge again . jake : okay , i 'm officially lost now . elizabeth : well , he had a very painful , very public breakup with dr. obrecht 's daughter , britt westbourne . sam : yeah . i mean , she basically lied to him the entire time they were in the relationship . jake : so , what , you lose your sense of right and wrong when you get screwed over ? patrick : i - i do n't know . i just do n't buy it . i spend a lot of time with him . he has n't -- he has n't shown anything to me about this . what about you ? does he ... any indication ? elizabeth : mm , mnh - mnh . no , nothing . sam : he kept everyone he was close to in the dark about this . i would say that it is the biggest guilty secret ever . i would be pissed right now if i was n't so upset . you think you know someone , and it turns out that they are keeping something so huge from you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : well , i can understand ... [ sighs ] how this all might be , uh , disappointing to you , michael . michael : no , disappointing is when you lose a game fair and square . but you , you -- you stacked the deck . you got those shares illegally . nikolas : business is business . i sincerely hope that we can learn to be allies . tracy : why would any of us align ourselves with you ? nikolas : because there 's nothing you can do to keep me from taking control of this company and making it mine . michael : the hell there is n't . we may be deadlocked , but the family does have a secret weapon -- lucy coe . [ scene_break ] lucy : i 'm sorry that , uh , things did n't work out for your mother . actually , i 'm gon na tell you something between us . do n't tell her , but i always , um , i - i think of tracy as being luke 's best relationship because she always somehow kept him in line without domesticating him , and she never really guilted him , and she was definitely his very best sparring partner . dillon : lucy , the reason i -- lucy : you know , but i still ca n't figure this out . it 's very surprising that he would still be dwelling on the grand affair with laura . i mean , i thought that was a long time ago in the past , but ... i guess it 's kinda like in the past -- me and scott . me and ... doc . me and duke . dillon : lucy , the reason my mother called you over here had nothing to do with her broken engagement to luke . lucy : oh ... okay . what does it have to do with ? dillon : the fate of elq rests in your hands . [ scene_break ] dante : dillon ? what has he got to do with anything ? valerie : forget i said anything . i should let you get back to work . dante : well , i - i ca n't . i ca n't . i ca n't . you ca n't say something like that and just leave me hanging . what is it ? valerie : it 's probably nothing , okay ? dante : what is nothing ? [ police radio chatter ] valerie : [ huffs ] when i got to your place , i saw lulu and dillon ... hugging . dante : well , uh ... they 're old friends . so what ? valerie : exactly . so what ? dante : okay . wait , val . please , valerie okay ? it ca n't just be that . [ puts file down ] otherwise you would n't have said anything . the more you dodge , the kind of weirder i 'm starting to feel about all this . so why do n't you just tell me what it is ? valerie : i heard them say something about keeping a big secret from everyone ... you in particular . [ scene_break ] lulu : valerie came over to clear the air . she said that she took the job at the pcpd , because the work interests her , that she and dante are just friends , and she totally respects our marriage . maxie : and you believe her ? lulu : she has n't given me a reason not to . she seemed really up - front about it . maxie : okay . all right , fine . she 's your family , so you kind of have to believe her . but i am more than willing to be the bad guy in this situation if you need me to be . lulu : i know . maxie : you know i always have your back no matter what . lulu : i do know that , and i appreciate it . maxie : see ? you are worried about this . lulu : no , i have something way more important to worry about than whether valerie is playing work wife with my husband or not . maxie : uh , hello ? what could be more important than the status of your marriage ? [ scene_break ] laura : this is so sick . luke : jennifer , look , i do n't care if i 'm your white whale , your winged platypus , or your grandma 's bloomers . jennifer : why are you making me sound like i 'm some sort of unstable person ? i may have made your life hell , but i was never a loon . i 'm being pragmatic . i know what my heart needs to lead a healthy life . i have what you need . it 's a win - win situation . laura : except for luke 's bride - to - be . jennifer : oh , god ! all of a sudden , you care about tracy 's feelings ! oh ! you ca n't stand the woman . what is this to you ? laura : uh , well , let 's see . how about the fact that what you 're proposing here is no `` indecent proposal . `` this is rape . jennifer : excuse you ? did you just call me a rapist ? laura : i am calling out the situation for what it is . you know , this movie that you like , `` indecent proposal `` ? that was a little bit more of a business transaction , sort of , uh , along the same lines of prostitution . jennifer : ohh . you mean like dear old barbara jean . laura : this is not a financial deal . you are using our son and threatening his life to ... force luke to sleep with you , and that is coercion . and in some states , jennifer , that 's considered rape . jennifer : you know , laura ? i guess you and i are just never really going to agree on how to label this . but even if we did , quite frankly , i 'm really ... [ chuckles ] i 'm surprised by your attitude . i am . because after all , would n't it kind of be poetic justice for luke to experience the hell he put you through ? [ scene_break ] dante : i do n't get it . what kind of secret could lulu and dillon be keeping from me ? [ telephone ringing ] valerie : i do n't know . that 's all i heard . i was n't trying to eavesdrop . i just wanted to get out of there , but before i could leave , lulu saw me . dante : how did she react ? valerie : she seemed a little freaked out . but she was probably just surprised that she and dillon were n't alone . dante : well , that does n't really sound like her . valerie : like i said before , it was probably nothing . i just ... misheard or whatever . i doubt there 's anything that you need to worry about . dante : yeah . you 're probably right . [ scene_break ] maxie : what is up ? besides the possibility that valerie is getting too friendly with dante . lulu : you know , i was talking about the haunted star . i just have to make sure that we stay in the black . maxie : business is booming . that place practically runs itself . what 's really going on ? lulu : just leave it alone , please ? maxie : nobody on the planet would buy that lame evasion , especially not me , your best friend . something is upsetting you . rocco is asleep , and we have cupcakes . lay it on me . lulu : are you sure that you 're not just bored , now that everything is good with you and nathan ? i think maybe you 're looking for some excitement . maxie : my life is plenty exciting , thank you very much . and i do n't know why you 're dragging this out when we both know you 're gon na tell me what 's going on . lulu : i am trying to tell you , but you 're not listening . there 's no big secret . maxie : is it because you think i wo n't understand ? you know you can tell me anything , lulu . i have your back . lulu : dillon and i ca n't tell anyone , okay ? not even dante . maxie : dillon ? hold up . is something going on between you and dillon ? lulu : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dillon : nikolas has commandeered a large amount of elq 's voting stock . he 's going to be making some big moves soon . lucy : hmm . that 's interesting . very surprising . what does this have to do with me ? dillon : at the moment , he 's only been able to amass 50 % . the rest is firmly secured within the family . so whatever play nikolas makes , it will come down to a tie . [ scene_break ] tracy : did n't you know that my late brother gave lucy coe a small stake in the company in their divorce ? michael : but it only comes into play when it 's deadlocked , and since lucy 's a friend of the family ... sorry , but you are nothing but a lame duck to this board . nikolas : [ chuckles ] even a lame duck can cause a hell of a lot of annoyance . all i have to do is wear down just one of your family members . and eventually , they will break rank and realize the incredible financial opportunity i 'm offering them . [ drawer opens ] michael : well ... [ sighs ] i am not gon na let that happen . nikolas : edward 's will . michael : part of it . check out section `` t , `` clause 7 . to prevent any quartermaine from taking sole control , my great - grandfather created a loophole . if any individual or tlc obtains more than one - third of the company , a majority of the board have the option of stripping that person of their voting rights . so you , yes , would own part of this company , but in name only . all the financial drain but none of the influence . actually , you know , right now , i 'm gon na call an emergency shareholders meeting and for the sole purpose of voting you out . tracy : michael , how quartermaine of you . michael : just admit it , nikolas . you lost . [ scene_break ] jake : thank you , sir . sam : thank you . jake : so sam and i were just toasting to a job well done . well done . [ clink ] sam : thank you . kind of eases the pain of figuring out that nikolas is a true cassadine after all . patrick : yeah , i 'm sorry . that 's got ta be tough to hear that your cousin 's that underhanded . sam : i guess you never know what someone 's capable of , or what will push them to abandon their moral compass . jake : wow . [ clears throat ] light conversations . so , uh , what brings you guys here , huh ? sam : [ sighs ] oh . patrick : uh , we had just finished up a tough surgery that was touch and go for a little while there , so , uh , decided to come down and celebrate . the patient made it through . we pulled together as a team . sam : well , i like the sound of that . i think it 's a great reason to celebrate , and ... you should take me up on that dinner offer . we 're all here . we should probably take advantage of it . jake : yeah . yeah . dinner 's on me . elizabeth : no . uh , you do n't have to do that . [ chuckles ] jake : oh , absolutely . i just got my big bonus check . i should spend it on something worthwhile . i mean , uh , what 's life -- is it worth living if you do n't celebrate , huh ? sam : that is so true . i agree . [ chuckles ] jake : so dinner ? tonight ? the four of us ? on me ? yeah ? sam : sounds good , yeah . [ scene_break ] michael : yeah , we 're voting now . uh , thank you again . tracy : okay . dillon and lucy are on their way . nikolas : excuse me , but should you even be here ? you 're no longer a member of the board . tracy : monica is on vacation with her boyfriend the judge . i did reach her by phone , and she granted me her proxy for this vote . she also said that emily would be ashamed of you , and i should kick your ass out of the boardroom . michael : and maya just faxed me over her proxy . nikolas : is any of this really necessary ? i mean , i 'm willing to play nice ... for now . tracy : no , actually , you 're hoping to use our differences to scoop up all the voting pie . not gon na happen . dillon : i guess you were n't all that interested in my film career . nikolas : on the contrary . our deal would 've benefited us both . and since when are you interested in the day - to - day workings of elq ? dillon : since i 'm a quartermaine , and it pisses me off to see someone who was married to my cousin emily trying to raid the family company . could you do this if my grandfather was still alive , nikolas ? could you look him in the face and betray him like this ? michael : yeah , how about we , uh , we get started , huh ? sooner we get this settled , the better . i hereby call this meeting of the board to order . we are here to vote on whether nikolas cassadine , who obtained his voting stock through duplicity and arguably illegal methods , should be stripped of his voting power on this board . tracy : i take it we know how you are going to vote . nikolas : what the hell ? nay . tracy : on monica 's behalf , aye . dillon : aye . michael : aye . and along with maya 's vote of aye , that brings us to 50 % . a deadlock . well , lucy , if you 'll do the honors in settling this issue ... how do you vote ? lucy : nay . [ scene_break ] dante : hey . rosalie finished writing up her statement . valerie : bad ? dante : yeah . i mean , i 'd say you should start looking for a new place to live . nikolas is pretty heavily involved in this stuff . i better go tell lulu that her brother could be looking at a bit of trouble . valerie : are you gon na talk to lulu about dillon ? dante : yeah , i think i have to . [ huffs ] valerie : is there anything i can do ? dante : yeah , you can , uh , type up this chicken scratch , if you want to , make it a little more legible . guess rosalie really was in the medical field after all . valerie : i 'm on it . dante : thanks . valerie : dante . i really ca n't say for sure what i saw when i walked in on lulu and dillon . and the last thing i wan na do is cause a problem for you two . dante : i know that . appreciate you telling me . [ scene_break ] lulu : me and dillon ? that 's crazy . maxie : well , i would 've thought so , but with the way you 're acting , i 'm on to something . lulu : see , maxie , part of being a best friend is knowing when to back off . and trust me , this is one of those times . i need you to accept that i have to keep this to myself . maxie : keep what ? lulu : this is how you can have my back . [ plate clinks ] maxie : okay . fine . but if you change your mind , i am here for you . just say the word . lulu : [ whispers ] thank you . [ scene_break ] luke : hey , watch it , miss smith . jennifer : oh , come on ! it 's not like what i 'm saying is n't already a matter of public record . you , luke spencer , forced yourself on laura at the campus disco during the carter administration days , as you 're so fond of saying . come on , laura . is n't there just a little , teeny , tiny part of you that really wishes luke knew what that felt like ? laura : no . jennifer : no ? laura : no . i do n't believe in bloodlust or vengeance . you know , jennifer , i - i know that this is probably gon na sound a little bit strange to you , but i do n't derive pleasure from someone else 's pain . yeah , i know . it might be a little bit hard to grasp . but that is how we are different . so , please , i do n't want you to go vigilante on luke in my name . jennifer : okay . [ laughs ] that was just a fringe benefit . if you do n't see the poetic justice of it , that 's on you . but you are awfully quiet over here , mister . what 's the matter ? digging this up just ... [ whispers ] a little too much for you ? [ blows air ] hey , look , from where i stand , this is just a business transaction -- lucky 's freedom in exchange for one night with you . all that 's remaining is the question of whether or not you agree to my terms . so what 's it gon na be , luke ? deal or no deal ? luke : [ pounds tabletop ] i 'll do it .

[ scene_break ] nina : honestly , i do n't understand why kiki 's still interested in morgan . dillon : they have a long , complicated relationship . screw - ups were made on both sides , and kiki made that clear to me from the start , which should 've been my first clue to keep my distance . nina : yeah , but i imagine you would n't have been interested in kiki if she was n't sending you some , you know , sort of signal . dillon : maybe . or maybe i 'm just bad at reading them . nina : right . yeah . uh , so , where -- what did kiki do ? did she go running back to morgan ? dillon : no . i pushed her .

[ scene_break ] franco : elizabeth , i do n't understand you at all . right before you kissed me , right after the whole toast incident , you said that you believed that i had changed , and now you 're calling me a monster ? elizabeth : i never said you were a monster . franco : no , you said that i was as bad as i ever was . the implication is that i 'm still a monster , that i 'm evil . elizabeth : you 're not a monster and you 're not evil , okay ? franco : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i see the way you are with jake and your other patients . you 're -- you 're compassionate and you 're empathetic and ... i do n't think you were capable of that before . franco : i do n't know that i was . elizabeth : but just as i see all that goodness , there 's a manipulative side , as well . franco : yeah . elizabeth : you offer me kind words when i 'm dealing with what 's happened to nikolas , and then -- then you flip around and you offer to pull dirty tricks on hayden . franco : you were the one that was breaking into lockers and stuff . i was just trying to help you out . elizabeth : yeah , by scheming and stalking ? franco : [ chuckling ] yeah . sure , why not ? worthy cause . elizabeth : do you hear yourself ? franco : uh - huh . elizabeth : oh , my god , do you realize that sometimes you are an overwhelming force to handle ? elizabeth : a little ? franco : ... trying to help you out . i am . elizabeth , you 've done so much to help me out . elizabeth : like what ? what do -- no , i -- franco : like , you call me on all of my nonsense . elizabeth : everyone calls you on your nonsense . franco : you do . no , you hold me accountable to it , and -- and -- and ... [ sighs ] when you do it ... i somehow feel ... like i can be better . you make me feel like you believe in me . elizabeth : well , i did n't know that . franco : i used to think that nina and kiki were the only two people in the whole world that saw something in me . and you show up . changes everything .

[ muffled shouting ] jason : who 's that ? huxley : it 's my mother . she 's touched in the head . she suffers from dementia . actually , she 's speaking in tongues lately . best to let her be , tire herself out .

[ scene_break ] morgan : if you 've moved on , that 's completely fine . i understand . i 've given you ... tons of reasons . kiki : things are n't that serious with me and dillon . we 've hung out and we talk . he 's not the reason that i - i 'm ... morgan : scared ? kiki : nervous . relationships have their ups and downs , but [ scoffs ] with us , we have our good times , and -- and we have -- morgan : we have our bad times . i know , kiki . i know what i did , and -- and i take full responsibility for that . but things are different now . i 'm -- i 'm different . kiki : and i am so proud of the progress that you 've made . morgan : you know , i 've never felt so calm , and -- and just -- i feel like i 'm in control . kiki : i 'm really happy for you . morgan : i know that i ca n't undo the damage that i 've done . i know that . but if you would just give me an opportunity to show you that i am the man now , the man that you deserve , the man that you need ... would you give me that -- that chance ? or is it too late ? [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm your employee and i love my job . so , if i am overstepping at any time , please just tell me and i will stop talking . nina : no , no . dillon : you do n't even have to -- nina : listen . you 're also my friend , and , uh , you 're a man , so i really want to hear what you have to say . and do n't worry , your job is n't in jeopardy . dillon : okay then . i think you can do better than franco . i think he 's a self- absorbed , arrogant ass . relationships take time and commitment and communication . has franco done any of those things for you ? nina : uh , no . actually , he -- he had issues doing that . dillon : yeah , you wanted a baby and he did n't . that 's a pretty big issue , and since it was never resolved , i do n't think there 's anywhere left for you and franco to go . nina : [ chuckling ] okay . well , hey . um ... do n't beat around the bush . just tell me straight . dillon : look , i care about you and that 's why i 'm saying all this . nina : you make a valid point . you make a valid point . thank you . oh , here 's also another valid point . i am ... miserable without franco . dillon : no , you 're lonely . and i get that , believe me . the quickest fix is gon na be to go back to something that 's familiar to you . nina : is that wrong ? [ sighs ] we were so good together . so good together , and i think it just took me to be away from the relationship to see how amazing we were . dillon : does franco feel the same way ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i had no idea you actually listened to me . i just kind of figured you tuned me out like everyone else . franco : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . what did you just say ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] franco : i 'm kidding , i 'm listening . i am . i -- and i -- and i -- i listen to you . i do . i just -- i tend to not take criticism so well . elizabeth : [ sarcastically ] really ? i had no idea . franco : yeah . i think i can take it from you because when you give it to me , there 's always some kernel of something that just kind of clicks for me . elizabeth : well , then , let me take this opportunity to give you one more criticism . franco : okay , i 'm gon na be sorry i said that to you , are n't i ? elizabeth : [ chuckling ] no . that kiss ... was n't about jason . it was about nina . franco : you kissed me because of nina ? elizabeth : you kissed me because of nina . you can swear the two of you are over , but it is as clear as day that you still love her . franco : i 'm still processing our breakup , yes . elizabeth : you do n't want to lose her . but you 're also afraid to try again . maybe you thought kissing me would end that dilemma . it would give you the excuse needed to move on instead of putting in the hard work it will take to move forward with nina . franco : yeah , i ... i guess that kind of makes sense . so , what 's your excuse for kissing me ? [ scene_break ] paul : it 's okay . you can say it . you like me . even just a little bit . anna : well , i should like you . i mean , you 're supposed to be one of the good guys . paul : i am . anna : we were friendly once upon a time . we ought to be again . but every time i feel as if we have some understanding , you show how shallow and self- absorbed you 've become . paul : [ laughs ] please . do n't hold back . anna : no , the paul hornsby that i knew , he risked his life to help bring down faison 's cartel . he sacrificed his relationship with jenny to protect his daughter . now , that paul -- that was an honorable man . that paul was someone to count on . paul : well , i 'd like to think i 'm still that person . anna : but it 's gon na take more than words to convince me . it 's gon na take action . he 's over an hour late . paul : he is a doctor . you know how things can happen unexpectedly . anna : yeah , not even a text , though . paul : did you text him ? anna : yep . no response . beginning to feel like such a bad idea . paul : oh , do n't say that , anna . putting yourself out there takes a lot of resolve . at the risk of sounding momentarily self - involved , i - it 's been good for me . anna : oh , why ? 'cause you got to see me get stood up ? paul : no , because you helped remind me of what i used to be . you know , when i was married to jenny , we had big plans a - and big dreams , and throughout the course of time and disappointment and my own failures , those dreams soured . jenny left me and took my son , my -- my daughter susan , you know . she wo n't even talk to me . and i 'll never be able to make up the time that i lost with dillon . anna : tracy had a hand in all that , did n't she ? paul : at the beginning , yes , but , uh , you know , i had the chance to reach out to dillon at one point and connect with him , and i - i chose not to for some reason . you know , when i came back to port charles , i was -- i was just hollow and -- and -- and cold and bitter and alone , and i - i do n't really like that version of myself very much . anna : what are you gon na do about it ? paul : at this point , i 'm not really sure . anna : i can give you a suggestion . paul : hm . i 'm all ears . anna : try making some friends . [ scene_break ] huxley : i do n't give a tinker 's damn about mr. carradine or whatever his real name is . he had the misfortune of traveling with ava jerome , and she is the one that i 'm after . she has the weeping naiad . jason : right , the naiad . so , they tied you up and they left together ? margarethe : aye , the blackguards . jason : okay , how long ago ? margarethe : oh , what -- an hour . jason : hour , thanks . okay , so they do n't know the area , they do n't have a car . we could probably track them down right now . huxley : i 'm sorry . sorry to interrupt . um , perhaps you noticed or perhaps you did n't . we 're terribly isolated out here . nothing but fields and hedgerows . it 's no lighting , spotty cell service . it 's all my way of saying that if you go charging after these two , you might get hopelessly lost . sam : we 'll risk it . huxley : but my dear , you simply do n't have to . i have a better option . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh , no . you are not putting that kiss on me . we had clearly established that you 're the one who started it . franco : yeah , i do n't know about that . you certainly took your sweet time ending it , and i think i know why . elizabeth : really ? please enlighten me . franco : think it has to do with nikolas cassadine being gone , maybe for good , and you 're hurt and you 're grieving and you 're groping around for some kind of support , and i happen to be here . elizabeth : okay , i do n't know that i would put it in those terms exactly , but makes sense . franco : so , in conclusion , you and i kissing is not about jason . elizabeth : and i - i - i - it was n't about us . franco : no , certainly not . thought never occurred to me . elizabeth : so , let 's promise from this moment on , we -- we never talk about it again . franco : it 's like it never happened . elizabeth : that 's right . franco : but , um ... if you ever need a shoulder to cry on -- elizabeth : i 'll look elsewhere . franco : you can still use my shoulder . elizabeth : deal . [ chuckles ] [ cell phone chimes ] elizabeth : i guess you 're gon na work things out with nina , right ? [ scene_break ] nina : franco 's certainly taking his sweet time getting back to me . dillon : i hope that it works out the way you want it to . nina : [ sighs ] thank you . i hope the same for you . dillon : [ chuckles ] kiki and i are over before it even started . nina : i hate it when the nice guy loses . dillon : oh , do n't say nice guy . nina : yes , you 're a nice guy , and that 's a good thing . it 's a great thing . too bad for kiki that she has a soft spot for morgan corinthos . it 's unfortunate for her that she did n't kick him out the minute he interrupted your date . dillon : if she would 've done that , then she would n't be the girl that i 've come to like so much . nina : how much . dillon : excuse me ? nina : how much do you like her ? i mean , enough to -- to spend time with her ? enough to see where this goes ? dillon : yeah , but i mean -- but what ? do n't give her an easy way out . go over there . fight for her . make her choose . [ scene_break ] morgan : i know i 'm asking a lot , considering i 've already wasted a ton of second chances , but will you give us one more shot ? greg : morgan ? hey , i thought that was you . how you doing ? morgan : i 'm , uh -- i 'm good , man . i got -- i got released . greg : [ sighs ] feels good , does n't it ? morgan : yeah . yeah . i 'm sorry , where are my manners ? uh , kiki , this is greg . greg , kiki . he -- he was in treatment with me . greg : the kiki ? you know , you 're famous at freedman . morgan : oh , we -- we do n't -- we do n't need to bore her with stories from the inside . greg : morgan would go on and on about how wonderful you are and how he could n't wait to get you back . i 'm not sure morgan would 've recovered without you . [ scene_break ] huxley : what happens when you find this carradine -- cassadine person ? jason : uh , we take him back to the states . he 's got some legal issues pending . huxley : i see . and ms. jerome ? sam : we 're not interested in ms. jerome . why ? huxley : well , this is my family estate . the lynches have been here for over 300 years . i - i know every tree , every rock , every blade of grass in the district . i could find my way blindfolded , or in pitch black of night , if necessary . jason : you want to help us search . huxley : oh , you seem like a very capable fellow , and -- and as i said , i know the area like the back of my hand . look , i suggest we pool our resources and then we divide the spoils . you take mr. carradine back to the us , and you leave me ms. jerome to do with as i see fit . how does that sound ? jason : sounds like a deal to me . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i think that crazy maid was gon na kill us . ava : i should 've tased her one more time before we took off . nikolas : we should be safe in here now . ava : ah . well , we have weapons here in case they find us . nikolas : that 's good . ava : how about that fog ? incredible , right ? nikolas : yeah . ava : if we 'd kept running , we would 've run right off a cliff . nikolas : well , we 'll wait for the weather to clear , and hopefully we 'll find a road before huxley finds us . ava : oh . ahh . look what i found . [ sighs ] nikolas : you really think that 's a good idea ? ava : yeah . well , we were kidnapped , we were held hostage , we were nearly chopped in half by a crazy scotswoman . we ran across the moors in the dead of night . i think we -- we 've earned a celebratory drink . but if you prefer to abstain , all the more for me . nikolas : bottoms up . [ scene_break ] anna : okay . i 'm gon na call it . paul : just like that ? anna : yep , i 'm gon na go home , i 'm gon na open up a pint of ice cream , and i 'm gon na throw my computer out the window . paul : well , would you like some company ? anna : seriously ? paul : no , strictly as friends . anna : uh , yeah , we 're not there yet . paul : yet . anna : [ sighs ] paul : but one day . anna : we 'll see . paul : anna . [ chuckles ] any parting words , uh , to , uh , move that process along ? anna : yeah . any time you get the urge to counsel or help me ... just try doing something else . try listening . paul : i hear you .

[ maxie scoffs ] maxie : hmm , you know , i have to admit , whatever it is lulu does to make you guys all gooey and lovesick over her , in the beginning it works like gangbusters , but it 's the sustaining over time thing that usually falls apart . can i ask you something ? what is it exactly that lulu brings to the table ? besides a never - ending ability to make you chase her around , rescuing her all the time . do you even know why she 's such a drama queen ? johnny : something tells me you 're about to enlighten me . and i swear , if this has anything to do with your sister , i 've heard it a million times . maxie : oh , we do n't even have to look that deep . for lulu , it 's all about being a spencer , living up to the legend of her family legacy . you 're just a prop she uses to prove what a rebel she can be . johnny : that 's delusional , maxie , even for you . maxie : it 's truer than you think . i have legendary parents , too , you know . felicia and frisco -- big scary spies , big scary love story . and that is a bitch to live up to when you 're just an ordinary person , going to work every day , ruining all of your relationships . but i chose to channel my insecurities into a career . lulu chose to duplicate her parents ' love story by finding a guy just like her dear old dad . sexy , dangerous , intense , a guy who scares the hell out of her , just like luke did laura . but you ca n't relive someone else 's love story . only lulu would want to .

[ elizabeth sighs ] elizabeth : okay , fine . if the two of you are going to insist that i get in the middle , i will tell you what i really think . every set of parents is different . some men are ideally suited for raising children and some are not . and still others are not capable of being there for a number of reasons . but the important thing , the critical thing , is that you guys always remain honest with each other so no one person is expecting more than the other is prepared to give . and the two of you can decide if what 's available to be had is enough -- or not . my suggestion to you both is that you really , really talk it through before this baby gets here . and that 's the extent of my advice . i 'm going to go get my kid now . patrick : i can see why you are friends with her . robin : what do you mean ? patrick : well , i only see elizabeth in a professional setting . i forget how much life experience she has and how wise she is from it . elizabeth : thank you both very much for taking such good care of him . can you say bye - bye , jake ? robin : bye . elizabeth : say bye - bye , see you soon . robin : bye , jake . robin : i have to say i am very impressed with you . patrick : why ? robin : because you were man enough to respect elizabeth 's advice even though she sided with me . patrick : what are you talking about ? it was clear she was on my side . [ scene_break ] lulu : let me guess where this is going . i am too fragile to be with johnny . i should stay away from him for my own good . you are so predictable , not to mention shameless , for using my mother 's condition as a way to try and break up me and johnny . maxie : i have no problem going after johnny wearing a bathing suit or taking advantage of time spent stranded together in an elevator . none of that is any more or any worse than what you did breaking up georgie and dillon 's marriage . lulu : oh , god , are you ever going to stop throwing that in my face ? maxie : probably not , because i miss my sister and i hate that her life 's over . i try not to obsess about it . but when i let myself , i think that if georgie had stayed with dillon , maybe she would still be alive . lulu : are we comparing horrible things we 've done ? maxie : i 'm trying to explain to you that where i would be happy to hurt your feelings and take away your boyfriend , i do not want you to lose your mind . lulu : uh , my mind is just fine , thank you . maxie : your mom was unstable and cracked after years of violence and loss and now you 're in a serious relationship with a mob prince who has a homicidal father ? tell me how any of that is good for -- lulu : you do n't know what you 're talking about right now . maxie : illnesses run in families , everything from breast cancer to bipolar disorder . you have laura 's genes , so why are you taking the same chances ? lulu : okay , all right , you know what ? i think that you are trying to show concern in a twisted and completely inappropriate way right now , but you do n't have to worry , okay ? because i 'm not my mother and i 'm not going to go crazy over johnny or for any other reason .

michael : all right , so here 's the plan . whenever mom gives you problems when you 're a teenager , you just come to me , michael , your big brother . okay ? i 'll tell you all of her secrets . she 's got a lot of them , so i 'm not sure i know them all , but the ones that i do know -- uh - oh . what 's wrong ? carly : franco sent this to josslyn . [ scene_break ] dante : look , franco is obsessed with jason . he wants to prove he 's better at the art of killing than jason is . claire : if you want jason involved , he can give us information from prison . dante : no , that 's not gon na work . we need to use jason as bait to draw franco out . claire : why would jason cooperate ? dante : because franco poses a threat to everyone jason cares about . we need to take this guy down . all it 's gon na take is for you to convince a judge -- claire : to release the enforcer from the corinthos crime organization . are you kidding me ? after i 've salvaged my career by sending him to prison in the first place . dante : you have a chance to put a high profile serial killer behind bars . you want a career boost , this is it . [ scene_break ] alexis : if i forbid kristina to see him , she 's just gon na be more determined to do it . but if you talk to johnny , you can make him understand the probable consequences of his actions . jason : you seem to think that i have influence over johnny , and i do n't . alexis : according to sam , he owes you his life . that 's at least enough to get him to back away from kristina .

[ scene_break ] claire : detective , i want to bring franco to justice just as much as you do . dante : well , that 's good . now 's your chance . claire : franco is an international killer . he 's a suspect in multiple killings in france . interpol can handle this . dante : forget interpol . the key to breaking this case is sitting right here in pentonville . okay , you just want to save your own ass , though . when jason sent himself to prison , that was a check in your win column , but you 're too worried about screwing that up ? claire : exactly . because jason morgan is one less thug on the streets . why would i take a chance on turning him loose ? dante : because franco almost killed lulu . he strapped her to a bomb and left her alone . if i had n't gotten there 10 seconds later , she 'd be dead . the guy is sick . he 's got to be stopped . and the best way to do it is jason . claire : all right , detective , look . i think you 've got a lot on your plate . your brother just got -- you know what , he 's out of prison and you have to see to it that he does n't violate the terms of his release . dante : michael 's not gon na violate anything . he wants this guy stopped as much as i do . claire : you are supposed to be building a case against your father , and i think you 're using franco as a way to avoid busting sonny . [ scene_break ] alexis : kristina 's taking all her anger , her guilt , her frustration that she had for kiefer and she 's channeling it right into sonny . jason : right . but you know that johnny blames sonny for ruining claudia 's life , and now kristina 's just offering johnny a way to pay sonny back . alexis : and you do n't see this train wreck coming ? jason : yeah , of course i do . but johnny 's not gon na listen to me . alexis : he respects you . jason : not enough to leave sonny alone . i 've tried . alexis : johnny is the one taking advantage of her , but sonny is doing the most damage to her , because if he goes after johnny , he 's confirming kristina 's fear . jason : alexis , i would like to help you , i would , but i do n't think i can do any good , even if i was n't stuck in this place . alexis : all right , if you wo n't talk to johnny , will you speak to sonny and get him to back off , for kristina 's sake ? [ scene_break ] sam : you protected kiefer because you thought your father was gon na kill him . if you keep this up , what do you think he 's gon na do to him ? johnny : okay , do n't put this on kristina . i provoked sonny . i want him to come after me . sam : are you hearing this , krissy ? you are dating your father 's worst enemy . not only is he a gangster , but he 's an older guy . it 's like waving a ton of red flags in his face . johnny : i 'm going after sonny any way i can . i want to take him down . that means i 'm going after his suppliers , i 'm encroaching on his territory . if he comes after me and kills me , that 's on me . it 's got nothing to do her . kristina : guess you ca n't stop either one of us . sam : do not make decisions about your life based on how you think your father will react . do not give anyone that much power . sonny : what the hell 's going on here ? you 're coming home with me . kristina : no , dad , i 'm not . sonny : i 'm not gon na ask you again , okay ? we need to talk , so let 's go . kristina : fine . we 'll talk right here . and if you wo n't , then just leave us alone . sam : hey , do n't be so rude to your father . kristina : he 's rude to me . sam : you want to be treated like a grownup , act like one . whatever problems you and your father have , this is not the way to handle it . the two of you need to talk . kristina : oh , we tried that in therapy . it was a joke . as far as dad 's concerned , he 's right and everyone else is wrong . there 's no middle ground . the only thing i learned from therapy is that talking is a total waste . sam : well , then try again . kristina : why ? sam : kristina , you 're better than this . if you do n't work things out now , it is only gon na get worse , i promise you that . kristina : fine . i 'll go with you . see you later . johnny : bye . sam : cat got your tongue ? i mean , really , you could n't speak out and tell kristina that this was really dangerous and she should get out while she can ? johnny : kristina 's got a mind of her own . sam : you are not being fair and you know it . johnny : maybe i do n't want to be fair . sam : jason protected you when sonny wanted you dead because he thought he saw something in you to respect . you know , i really thought he had a good judge of character . maybe i was wrong . [ scene_break ] alexis : kristina 's just as stubborn as her father , but i ca n't just sit here and let her willingly throw herself in the middle between sonny and johnny . jason : i know , but you 've got to keep trying to get through to her . alexis : i 've done everything i can do short of locking her in her room . i would n't be here if this were n't the last resort . jason : johnny knows that kristina 's fragile . but if kristina pushes this , i think johnny 's gon na go along with it . but if she backs off , i do n't think johnny 's gon na fight . alexis : so where does that leave us ? jason : well , so , what you have to do is keep trying to get through to kristina . i know that she 's confused , but she is a good kid . alexis : okay . [ sighs ] thanks for hearing me out . i did n't get the answer that i wanted , but you made some good points . jason : good luck . alexis : listen , for what it 's worth , i admire you for what you did for michael . it 's not so easy on sam , though . jason : i know . alexis : she loves you and she wants a life with you , and she 's willing to accept all that entails . now , just keep in mind you 're not the only one that made sacrifices for michael . [ scene_break ] carly : this was sent to josslyn , no return address . jax : when did you get this ? carly : today . it was n't signed , and it has to be one of franco 's crime scene photographs . michael : yeah , he sent one just like this to maxie and dante , too . jax : oh . so franco 's back . carly : maybe not . there was a picture of franco in josslyn 's christening photographs . jax : why did n't you tell me ? carly : 'cause we were n't really speaking at the time . jax : carly , franco is a dangerous man who 's threatening our daughter . carly : okay . i told jason . and jason told me it was n't about josslyn . that it was franco trying to pull jason back into his game . jax : franco broke into this house , he was in our daughter 's room , and he kidnapped you . carly : yes , but he was just trying to send jason a message . jax : i do n't care if he was trying to send jason a message . my number one concern is our family 's safety . franco is completely mentally unstable , okay . who knows what he 'll do next . i 'm not gon na risk anybody 's safety just because jason thinks everything 's gon na be okay . now , we 're gon na do what we should have done the night claudia died . [ scene_break ] luke : it 's a simple favor i 'm asking , maya . just give me the new security codes to the mansion . maya : heh . and i should help you why ? luke : because a reunion is not gon na happen over the phone . tracy and i have to be face to face . she has to see how sincere i am . ethan : yeah , come on , maya . do it for true love . maya : not exactly what tracy 's calling it . lucky : well , we all understand tracy can seem a little intimidating at first . maya : no , tracy is a bitchy socialite prone to temper tantrums . luke : so you 'll do it ? maya : you are n't exactly a good guy here , either , luke . i mean , you lied to her for years . luke : true . true , i did . because i thought her money was all we had in common . but i found out otherwise . the more i got to know her , the woman underneath that facade , i fell in love with her . maya , she 's the woman for me . she 's tough , she 's smart , she 's funny . she 's almost as quick as i am . and when i give her a load of crap , she throws it right back in my face . and i just did n't think that a piece of paper , you know , would be that important . maya : okay , well , if it was n't that important , then why did n't you just tell her ? luke : because i knew how she 'd react . maya : and tracy does n't want to have anything to do with you now . luke : i know that 's what she 's saying . maya : okay , i hate to burst your bubble , but tracy seems pretty thrilled to be single . luke : thrilled ? really ? [ laughs ] and what 's it like being over there at the mansion with her these days ? is she sweetness and light ? or is she a monster from hell ? ethan : well , come on . maya : okay , she 's raging 'cause she 's pissed . but who would n't be after finding out that you 're not really married to your husband ? and then he did n't even bother to tell you for years . lucky : dad screwed up , we know that . but tracy 's miserable without him , so he 's got that going for him . maya : i think she 'd rather be miserable than forgive . lucky : maybe . or maybe she 's unconsciously looking for a reason to get past this . you know . and if dad could just talk to her face to face , then she might realize that they could have a lifetime of happiness despite how everything started . all he 's asking is that you help give him that chance .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you hate me ? i can live with that . what i ca n't live with is johnny using you . kristina : he 's not . sonny : why are you so naive ? kristina : dad , i know this is a radical concept , but we might actually be dating because we care about each other . sonny : johnny is trying to destroy me . he wants to take me down not just in business , but in my personal life . what better way to do that than through my daughter ? and what are you gon na do , sweetheart ? you 're gon na allow that to happen because you want to defy me ? kristina : why do you always think everything 's about you ? sonny : okay . you still are a young girl . he is a grown man . that 's sick and twisted . kristina : johnny understands what it 's like to have a horrible , violent father . we have a lot in common . sonny : you 're not gon na see him again . you 're not gon na see him 'cause i 'm telling you you 're not gon na see him . kristina : i will . i 'll date him and i 'll kiss -- sonny : no , you 're not . kristina : and i 'll have sex with him if i want . sonny : no , you 're not ! kristina : and there 's nothing you can do about it . sonny : okay , you know what , you do n't speak to your dad like that . okay ? he 's not putting his hands on you again . i am not gon na allow it . kristina : what are you gon na do now ? hit me ? go ahead , dad . do it . sonny : i 've never laid a hand to you and i never will . but i tell you what , i 'm not gon na stand by and watch johnny hurt you .

[ scene_break ] johnny : i 'm not looking to take advantage of or hurt kristina , jason . but she 's got some real raw hate for her father , and i do n't blame her . but the truth is , the healthiest thing for kristina could be rejecting sonny . jason : maybe . but sonny loves his kids . johnny : like my father loves me , right ? jason : do n't compare sonny to anthony . johnny : they are both domineering , egocentric , arrogant bastards . kristina wants to be with me to piss her father off because it makes her feel good . it gives her back the sense of control in her life . and if she wants to be out from under her father 's thumb , i am more than happy to facilitate . jason : yeah , but there are better ways to be free of her father . johnny : probably , but this one works for me . jason : well , you 've got nothing to lose , johnny . on the other hand , sonny has his family , his territory , his business , the people who work for him . he actually has to weigh out his decisions . johnny : what 's your point ? jason : people who are fearless usually win . and if you go to war with sonny , he could be the one who winds up dead . but if kristina thinks that she caused her father 's death , she 'll never get over that . [ scene_break ] jax : so what 's your plan to get franco ? claire : franco is wanted for murders in europe as well as the u.s. , which makes it a matter for international authorities . i believe you 're gon na take carly 's statement . dante : do you have anything else you 'd like to add ? carly : the envelope came in regular mail with no return address . i called jax , jax called you . that 's it . claire : we 're gon na need to bring this latest development to our superiors . thanks a lot for your time . dante : uh , thanks for calling . given everything that 's happened , i know it probably was n't your first instinct to involve the cops . i think you did the right thing . we want to get this guy just as bad as you do .

[ scene_break ] michael : threatening my dad is not the way to win my trust . johnny : it was n't a threat . it was a fact . all right ? if it comes down to a power struggle , my father will win . not because he 's smarter , not because he 's stronger , because he 's got nothing to lose . michael : if anthony comes after my family , you 'll be fair game . jason will come after you . johnny : you think my father gives a damn if i get whacked tonight ? he cares more about his damn roses than he ever did his family , and that 's where sonny and anthony are opposites . sonny 's kids are his world . and i respect sonny 's will to be a part of his kids ' lives , i do , but it makes him vulnerable . and my father will prey on that at every turn . michael : ok , knowing that , why would i want to give anthony any more leverage ? johnny : you want to wake up with regret the rest of your life , knowing that you could have done more to save your father ? michael : i do n't know if you 're trying to manipulate me or you really want peace . either way , i 'm sorry , but i have to turn your offer down . johnny : i 'm sorry to hear that . because when it comes down to it , it 's very possible you could have a hell of a burden to carry .

[ scene_break ] dante : sonny ? sonny : if you hear from michael , um ... dante : what 's going on with michael ? sonny : he got a job , at the warehouse , separate from the business , so i can keep an eye on him . dante : the way johnny 's circling , that 's probably a pretty good idea . you thought i was here to come down on you about that ? sonny : well , i know you do n't want michael working in my business . i do n't want that either . jason does n't want it . we 're doing everything we can to make sure that does n't happen . dante : actually , i 'm here about luke . sonny : luke took off . what are you talking about ? dante : yeah , he did . and then lucky went after him , and i do n't know what happened , but whatever did happen , lucky was prompted to come home and burn down the family house he used to live in . sonny : i heard about the fire . lucky was there ? dante : yeah . siobhan showed up , went in , and she got hurt . lucky felt he was responsible and that 's kind of messed him up . she 's ok now , but , uh , lulu 's taken it upon herself to go and find her father to try and fix things for lucky . she still thinks that luke can be saved . sonny : and you 're hoping i know where he 's headed . dante : well , i think of all people , luke would touch base with you . maybe if only to get some travel money . sonny : luke has n't called , but i may know where he 's headed , but i 'm telling you right now , he ai n't coming back . [ scene_break ] johnny : i take it the brothers no - neck have n't reported back to you yet , huh ? jason : about what ? johnny : i paid michael a little visit at his warehouse . you 'd be proud . he 's fully indoctrinated . spouted off all the reasons as to why i could n't be trusted . thinks i 'm trying to use him to get to sonny . jason : are you ? johnny : look , jason , maybe i know michael a little better than you do , huh ? i 've been where he is -- faced with the choice of staying in the only life you 've ever known or carving out a new one as a stock boy . jason : sounds like he made his choice , then . johnny : his choice may end up causing a lot more damage than he thinks . you and i , we 're reasonable guys . sonny , my father , they 're volatile . i tried explaining this to michael , but he would n't listen . jason : good . he 's learning . johnny : you 're not gon na think it 's so good when things start to escalate . michael had a chance to keep the peace . he passed . [ scene_break ] abby : you almost done ? michael : hey . yeah , i am now . perfect timing . thanks , baby . abby : so how was the first day ? michael : uh ... well , you see all these bags ? i spent the entire shift moving them from this pallet all the way to this shelf . abby : sounds exhausting . michael : yeah . it was n't the most fun i ever had , but it beats grading roads and doing cleanup duty at pentonville . abby : yeah . well , there are other options . michael : well , not working for johnny , if that 's what you 're worried about . i already turned him down . abby : i was kind of worried , you know , a day of mindless working in your father 's warehouse might be enough to send you right back to johnny 's door . michael : actually , johnny came looking for me . he made the mistake of overplaying his hand . i 'm not gon na let anybody use me against my father . and my prize for loyalty -- all the coffee beans i can carry . [ abby chuckles ] michael : you hungry ? you want to get some dinner at kelly 's ? abby : i 'm actually still kind of full from the spread i had at the quartermaines ' . your great - grandfather invited me to tea . michael : what did he want ? abby : to offer me a job . michael : at elq ? abby : there was one condition , though . michael : of course there was . abby : look , your grandfather wants you to work there , too . and i guarantee he wo n't have you carrying anything heavier than a coffee cup . michael : so we 're a package deal . if i say no , you do n't get the job . abby : that pretty much sums it up . michael : i hope you told him what he can do with his offer . abby : the truth -- i kind of felt bad for him . i mean , edward 's just a lonely old man who wants what family that 's left to be around . i ca n't say i blame him . he 's lost a lot of people he cares about . i 'll never forget the look on his face when he thought brenda was gone , too . michael : look , abbey , i 've been told my whole life what a schemer and manipulator edward is . this offer just proves it . abby : it 's just that , i mean , a lot of what edward said really made sense . [ scene_break ] ethan : hey . kristina : hey . ethan : wow , if the classrooms had been more like this when i was a student , i bet i would have stayed in school longer . kristina : oh , who can concentrate under all those fluorescent lights ? like you 're being interrogated . candles are way more conducive to creativity . ethan : right . so where 's your computer ? kristina : inside . ethan : we should get started on that essay so you have plenty of time to perfect it before the deadline . kristina : i ca n't thank you enough for helping me . ethan : that 's what friends do . kristina : would you like a glass of wine while we work ? ethan : let me guess . also conducive to creativity . kristina : well , it definitely helps you to stop over thinking things . and that way you can just say whatever 's on your mind without editing yourself . ethan : where 's your mother ? kristina : um , molly needed something from the store , so they should be back soon . ethan : ok . well , we should keep that cork in the bottle because we do n't want alexis getting the wrong idea . kristina : [ laughs ] the whole thing was priceless . seeing me standing there with the flowers in my hands while you 're saying `` i do . `` i always thought that i wanted , like , a big wedding , but i would n't mind going back to the dominican , saying my vows in a simple service , just me and the man i love . ethan : um ... hmm . [ scene_break ] jax : i 'm sorry . sorry to put more tension on your relationship . brenda : my relationship is fine . i think she just said thank you . jax : you know i would n't put you in the middle of all this if it was n't directly related to her safety . i really think that your testimony could tip the scales in my favor . so , i want you to spend a little bit of time with this little munchkin right here , huh ? brenda : oh , that 's not fair . jax : then make up your mind . [ josslyn vocalizes ] jax : well , life 's not fair . i think we 've both been around long enough to know that . hey , joss . can you meet my friend ? look , this is brenda . brenda : hi , joss . jax : can you say hi ? can you say hi to brenda ? josslyn : gaga . brenda : do you like gaga ? josslyn : gaga .

[ scene_break ] jordan : i saw sonny outside the courtroom . i think he was there on shawn 's behalf . valerie : why ? jordan : well , shawn went to prison 'cause he would n't flip on sonny . i think sonny wanted to repay the debt by helping out thomas . valerie : let me guess . he made the security guard an offer he could n't refuse ? jordan : yeah . i confronted him and , of course , he would n't admit to actually influencing a witness , but it was so obvious that he was behind the guard 's change of heart . and what bothers me the most is that i was actually happy that sonny stepped in .

[ scene_break ] jordan : i despise sonny corinthos and everything that man stands for . but when i realized that he was the one behind the guard 's change of heart , i was relieved , grateful even . valerie : why would n't you be ? you 're tj 's mother . jordan : yeah , and i was in no position to help him . valerie : your hands were tied . jordan : that 's the irony , right ? i 'm the top cop . and the mayor , who , by the way , is running for governor , was afraid of appearances . she was worried that i was actually gon na use my influences to rescue my son because it would reflect badly on her . lomax -- i mean , she put the screws to me , and i caved . i caved . i let my son spend the night in lockup . i had to sit behind the prosecutor 's table at tj 's hearing . you know what ? that made me sick . and enter mr. sonny corinthos , the godfather of port charles . he snaps his fingers , and my son walks ? [ scoffs ] valerie : which is what you wanted . jordan : no . no . no . sonny is the enemy . i have worked really hard to bring down the mob . i - i turned in the man that i love . i let my son think that i was moving drugs , all because i thought i was making a difference . and at the end of the day , my son is saved from the bona fide racist jerk by a mobster . i was so relieved to get my son up out underneath this , you know ? he can actually have the life that i 've always wanted for him , but i do n't want -- i do n't want tj thinking that the only way to beat the system is to have some gangster strong - arm his accuser . valerie : i 'm not defending sonny by any means . but this time , he 's acting in tj 's best interest . jordan : i do n't want tj sucked into that life because he thinks that 's the only way that he 's gon na get justice . but i 'm afraid that 's exactly what 's gon na happen . [ scene_break ] tj : uh , if you really want to pay for my legal fees ... sonny : have i not made myself clear , tj ? tj : okay . [ laughs ] okay . thank you . sonny : thank you for accepting . tj : but i ca n't take the money that mr. lavery gave me for college . my mom may not be high on my list right now , but i would never want her dead . sonny : of course not . tj : and the only reason mr. lavery gave me that money was because he felt guilty about putting a hit out on my mom . sonny : mm - hmm . tj : so i tore up the check . sonny : how you paying for school ? tj : uh , i do n't know . i 'll figure something out . sonny : well , if you 're on the outs with your mom , then where you living these days ? tj : around . sonny : [ laughs ] what does that mean ? you 're not gon na tell me ? okay , then i 'm gon na have to ask shawn , and then ... tj : no . no . no . no . no . no . no . please . please . please . he does n't know about any of this , and i really do n't want him worrying about me . sonny : where are you living , tj ? tj : crashing on couches . the thing is , uh , mr. lavery 's money was gon na reserve me a place in pcu summer housing . sonny : that went up in smoke when you tore up the check ? tj : even if i could pay for a room , it would n't matter . the housing is full , and there 's no more rooms left . so , i do n't know . sonny : okay , here 's what we 're gon na do -- i 'm gon na pay for your education , and until you begin classes in the fall , you 're gon na live with me . [ scene_break ] lucy : i 'm sure you remember giving duke a dressing - down at the metro court . you berated him for taking sonny 's side over aj 's death . michael : my father gave duke a job when no one else would , and how did duke repay him ? by covering for his killer . lucy : so , you take sonny 's daughter ? you -- you take this sweet baby from the only parent she 's had ? i mean , i know you 're upset and hurt by sonny , but that does n't give you permission to take avery away from her father . michael : okay . you can judge my motives as much as you want . but the fact is , my sister is safer with me . lucy : but you -- you coerced your grandmother to influence a custody judge , for god 's sake . tracy : oh , for pity 's sake ! correct me if i 'm wrong . you seduced my late brother . you tricked him into marrying you . you cheated on him with scott baldwin , and then , when you came up pregnant , you tried to pass the baby off as alan 's . where , and in what universe , do you qualify to judge michael for trying to protect his baby sister ? lucy : michael , i know you have somehow convinced yourself that edward would be pleased over these sneaky tactics . but you have to think about lila . tracy : [ gasps ] do not mention my mother ! i ... lucy : mother quartermaine would be so disappointed and so outraged at michael 's behavior . he has been impetuous and spiteful . he has got to learn to simply control his impulses . he 's got to grow up ! i 'm just saying that i think he would really use the influence of a very wise and experienced businessman like nikolas cassadine . nikolas : thank you , lucy . [ scene_break ] laura : luke , what happened ? luke : uh , believe me , i wanted to give jennifer her closure or whatever the hell it is she wants from me . so we ordered a bottle of wine and then another one and then -- and then another . and then i -- i do n't know . at some point , i lost count . jennifer : no . i thought last night , my life with you , my first love , was to help me solve my relationship problems . i was really looking forward to waking up today to the beginning of a happier life , free of the love that got away . instead , everything is the same . i 'm still the same , and your predicament is the same . your son is in danger because you failed to comply with our agreement . so , sorry , buddy .

[ scene_break ] tracy : so , dr. finn , do you know what today is ? finn : your birthday . tracy : not even close . today is my monthly follow - up visit with you . imagine my surprise when i got a message that i 'll be seeing dr. delancey instead . finn : let me start by saying , tracy , that i have spoken to dr. delancey at length . he understands my protocol , and he 's gon na take care of you . tracy : he 's not gon na get the chance . you 're my doctor . end of story . finn : as you know , my privileges have been suspended pending the outcome of the hospital 's investigation . tracy : i trust you . you and dr. munro saved my life . i am not going to some doctor i 've never met , and i know nothing about . finn : in that case , you 're more than welcome to cancel . tracy : what ? that 's your solution ? cancel ? finn : maybe your perspective will change after you 've had your morning coffee . that 's what i plan on doing this morning . as a matter of fact , i might be in the neighborhood of harbor view road ? tracy : i live on harbor view road . finn : you do n't say . [ scene_break ] felix : bri ! sabrina : hi ! felix : ohh ! it 's so good to see you . okay , you 're free . no pending charges , right ? sabrina : the da and anna devane declined to press charges . felix : [ sighs ] that 's good to hear . but look , i 'm sorry , what were you thinking , taking off with a known fugitive ? i mean , i know you loved him and he was your baby daddy , but even so . sabrina : look , i could come up with a list of excuses as to why i ran away with carlos , but the truth is ... i thought that i could change him eventually . but that was a pipe dream , and he was n't gon na change . felix : that man is trouble to the bitter end . sabrina : what do you mean ? felix : alexis davis has been arrested for his murder . [ scene_break ] sonny : you married alexis . you swore to love her and honor her . then you turn around and frame her for a murder you committed . julian : i do n't answer to you , sonny . sonny : you 're a coward . you know it , i know it , everybody knows it . and now alexis knows it in a cell . julian : mm - hmm . carly : all right , well , at least that conversation did not end in a fist fight . sonny : why would i waste my time ? the only thing good out of this is alexis now realizes that she married a dirtbag , and i just hope she did n't realize it too late . carly : oh . sonny : hey . michael : hey ! sonny : good morning , michael . michael : good morning . carly : [ chuckles ] here . sit , sit . michael : [ sighs ] so ... carly : so ... michael : um , how was morgan 's first night at the , uh -- at the house ? sonny : well , you know , it was good . michael : yeah ? carly : yeah . michael : is something wrong here ? morgan did n't have a setback , did he ? carly : no . god , no , no , no . morgan 's doing great . he 's -- he 's great at home . your father and i , we 're just kind of ... [ sighs ] we 're just kind of unhappy about something else . sonny : julian was just here , and he do n't even care that alexis got arrested for rivera 's murder . [ scene_break ] [ footsteps approach ] paul : [ chuckling ] well , someone really likes you . so who 's your secret admirer ? anna : no secret . they 're from sawyer . paul : the doctor who stood you up last night . anna : he had very a good reason as to why he could n't make our date . and not only did he go to great lengths to explain himself , but he also asked for a second chance . paul : you 're not seriously considering giving him one , are you ? anna : well , that 's none of your concern , is it ? paul : as far as i 'm concerned , there 's no good excuse for standing up a lovely woman like you . [ scene_break ] diane : unfortunately , the physical evidence which links julian to the crime has been destroyed . alexis : which is entirely my fault . diane : we do n't have time for regrets . we need to focus on the task at hand . all right , `` a , `` the police have your dagger with your fingerprints and hints of carlos ' blood on it . `` b , `` there is a period of time for which you can not account . and `` c , `` carlos was offered a plea deal by the police to testify against your husband . in short , you have means , method , and opportunity . alexis : i am very well aware of how this looks . diane : you 're very lucky that i 'm in your corner , you know . any other lawyer would be scrambling to cut a deal . alexis : what are you gon na do ? diane : me ? i am going to pull apart every piece of evidence the prosecution had . i am going to question procedure . i 'm gon na question collection methods . i will drag everyone from the arresting officer to the da onto that stand if i have to , anything to establish reasonable doubt . in short , my friend , you will go free . [ scene_break ] finn : well , whether you like it or not , you have a heart , and it actually sounds pretty good . i 'm very pleased with your recovery . tracy : well , as i told you , i am feeling better every day , and having a new baby in the house certainly helps . but let 's talk about you . finn : i 'm not very interesting . tracy : oh , i beg to differ . i ca n't believe you were suspended . finn : monica was just doing her job . speaking of which , i realize this is a very big house -- tracy : she left five minutes before you arrived . finn : excellent . well , i would n't want to provoke her . i mean , she 's been very good to me . tracy : not lately . not letting you do your job is ridiculous . your patients need you . finn : well , i 'm keeping good track on all my patients . with a little luck , i 'll be back at the hospital before you know it . monica : i could have sworn i took those files with me when i left . i just -- [ chuckles ] well , dr. finn . fancy meeting you here . [ scene_break ] sabrina : look , i ca n't defend his actions . he was a complicated man . and for all he did wrong , there was goodness in him . he was teddy 's father , and he was my husband . felix : yeah , michael told me that carlos said that you guys were married . and now you 're a widow . i 'm sorry , bri . truly . no matter how i felt about the guy . sabrina : i hoped and prayed that by showing him how much teddy and i loved him that ... that he would change . felix : you ca n't change people like that . carlos made his choices , and he paid for them . the best you can say now is that it 's over . now you can focus on building a life for you and your son . maybe building a family with someone who truly cares about you . sabrina : [ scoffs ] felix : someone who will put you and teddy first . someone like michael . [ scene_break ] michael : i ca n't imagine anyone would believe alexis killed carlos . sonny : the evidence points to her . michael : yeah , which means julian framed her . kristina and molly must be losing their minds right now . sonny : it 's too soon to worry . why are you getting all involved in this ? michael : what does that mean ? are you -- are -- are you handling it ? sonny : look , julian did it . eventually , the truth is gon na come out . carly : okay , you know what ? let 's talk about something else . sonny : no , i 'm just saying . carly : i know , but let 's talk about something else . michael , what are your plans for today ? michael : uh , well , i have a meeting at elq . nikolas filed a lawsuit about the stock acquisition . the irs are asking questions . but since nikolas disappeared , the whole issue has been tabled for now , so ... yeah , it 's back to business as usual . carly : well , thank god that did n't blow up into something worse . michael : yeah , i know . after the meeting , i 'm heading back to the quartermaines . carly : to see sabrina ? i understand she 's living there now . michael : that 's right . carly : well , that must be awkward , you know , everyone living in the same house . michael : no , not really . sonny : michael , your mom 's concerned about you . we both are . carly : i am . i am . i understand that sabrina was in a very difficult situation , but she lied to you . she did . she put you in a very bad situation . i just do n't want to see that happen again . she took advantage of you . sonny : carly , car -- this might not be the right place . michael : dad , look , it 's fine . she started this . let her finish it . carly : thank you . sabrina took off with carlos , and she put herself and the baby in danger , and it fell on the two of you to save her . i 'm just saying that you went above and beyond . i do n't think you need to do anything else for her . i do n't think you owe her anything . michael : you 're right , mom . i do n't owe her anything . but i care about sabrina . i care about teddy . and i hope we can have a future together .

[ chuckles ] diane : the one glimmer of hope is that you 're clearly not a flight risk . you 've got strong ties to the community . should n't be any trouble getting you bail . alexis : thank you , diane . diane : you thank me when this is all over , okay ? mayor lomax : diane miller . [ chuckles ] well , i should n't be surprised . diane : mayor lomax , it 's always such a pleasure to see you . mayor lomax : ooh , and ms. davis , my , how the might have fallen . how does it feel to be on the opposite side of the law ? you know , it was n't that long ago you took it upon yourself to represent ms. falconeri against the city . you were so interested in how my office was going to follow the letter of the law . yet you were out there committing murder . i think the word i 'm looking for is `` hypocrite . `` diane : as an elected official , i need hardly remind you that ms. davis is entitled to a presumption of innocence . now , if you 'll excuse us , we have an arraignment to attend . paul : well , i should be going , as well . mayor lomax : uh , first , a word , paul .

[ cell phone beeps ] monica : oh . now what ? tracy : good news ? monica : [ chuckles ] well , seems a board member has asked me to convene a meeting regarding , uh , insubordination of a doctor . gosh , i wonder what that 's about . finn : good question . monica : we will deal with this later , tracy . finn : tell me -- have you ever thought about getting your own place ? [ scene_break ] felix : what 's going on with you and michael ? sabrina : [ sighs ] it 's complicated . felix : okay , okay . let 's take it one step at a time . you are living at the quartermaines , which means you 're choosing to live in proximity to michael . sabrina : well , tracy 's been really good with teddy , and she 's offered me a place to stay , and i just felt like that was a good place for us , not that i do n't love living with you . felix : oh , back at you . but i can understand wanting to live in a place with a fully equipped nursery plus staff . sabrina : well , i , uh , i have n't asked you about your love life . what 's going on with you and donny ? felix : oh , we 're great . i mean , he 's busy because it 's an election year , but that man loves cooking me dinner . sabrina : aww . he 's perfect , is n't he ? felix : he 's pretty close . uh , oh , and p.s . we do appreciate the , uh , extra closet space . it helps when donny sleeps over . sabrina : well , good . then i 'm glad it 's all working out . felix : oh , yeah . and you 've done a bang - up job avoiding my question . what 's going on with you and michael ? sabrina : michael is amazing with my son . felix : but ? sabrina : but i 'm just afraid that he 's not being honest with himself . i 'm worried that every time he looks at teddy , all he can see is carlos . [ scene_break ] carly : michael , you can not be serious about getting back together with sabrina . michael : i 'm gon na do everything in my power to make it happen . carly : but she hurt you . she lied to you about the paternity of her baby , then she took off with the man who shot your father ! sonny : carly , take a break . carly : no ! this woman took off and left our son to pick up the pieces ! and now that carlos is dead , she 's more than happy to let michael swoop in and take care of her kid and provide . michael : sabrina can not be held responsible for what carlos has done . and i hope you can find it in your heart to accept them , because sabrina and teddy , they need me . and i want to take care of them . i got to go . carly : what ? [ scene_break ] paul : always at your service , janice . how can i help you ? mayor lomax : alexis will plead not guilty . do everything you can to make sure she 's remanded without bail . paul : are you sure you want to take such a hard line ? mayor lomax : against a murderer ? you better believe it . paul : well , if we take a more reasonable approach , if we work with alexis , we might be able to get her to testify against her husband . mayor lomax : well , mr. jerome is n't facing murder charges . and his wife , on the other hand , is . and if there 's enough evidence to arrest her , there should be enough to hold her without bail . paul : well , i 'll make the request , but i do n't believe the judge will view alexis as a flight risk . mayor lomax : paul , you can be very persuasive . do everything you can in your power to make sure that that judge denies bail . that woman made a mockery of me , of my office , and of this city ! i want you to put alexis davis in her place . paul : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : what the hell do you want , carlos ? carlos : beats me . you brought me here . maybe you thought talking to my ghost would ease your guilt . julian : [ chuckles ] i do n't feel guilty , okay ? just the opposite . you 're the reason i am in this position . carlos : i 'm not the one who almost ratted you out to the police . julian : [ sighs ] carlos : dead men tell no tales , right ? no . it 's my former attorney , a.k.a . your wife , you need to worry about , considering alexis got arrested for something you did . julian : if she would just -- if she would just let me explain -- carlos : [ laughs ] are you serious ? she is furious at you . you are so lucky she was handcuffed to that table in the interrogation room . julian : just shut up , carlos . just shut up ! carlos : no , no , amigo . you need to listen to me . your wife could very well turn you in . you made the mistake of falling in love . and now it 's come back to haunt you . julian : [ sighs ] look , alexis wants me to turn myself in for murder . she knows what i did . she has the proof . i mean , she has me backed up into a corner , and i - i - i just do n't see a way out . carlos : you do n't ? julian , my friend , there 's always a way out . never say never , my friend . julian : no , no , no , no . no , because that is not an option . carlos : oh , it 's always been an option . you 've just been too weak to see it . julian : well , i wo n't hurt alexis . carlos : ca n't or wo n't ? julian : alexis is my wife ! we were married barely six months ago ! i - i took vows with her ! carlos : well , some promises we ca n't keep . julian : okay , carlos . she is the mother of my child . she 's my wife , okay ? she -- she loves me unconditionally . carlos : really ? julian : yeah . carlos : unconditionally ? because all i see is a once strong and powerful man reduced to a lapdog ! you do tricks for her . you come when you 're called . but the second you step out of line , she threatens to leave your punk ass . julian : yeah , well , we 're working through that . carlos : there 's nothing left to work through . alexis is gon na throw you to the wolves to save herself . julian : no , she wo n't , okay ? alexis loves me ! carlos : are you blind and stupid ? ! alexis does n't love you . julian : [ sighs ] carlos : she loves the man she thought you could be , the man you claim to be . julian : well , you know what ? maybe i am that man . maybe i was never given the chance to be the man who i really am because i was always following in the -- in the footsteps of my father ! carlos : [ laughs ] oh , it 's daddy 's fault . julian : listen , my father was a cruel son of a bitch who thought that love was a weakness , okay ? ! i 'm nothing like him . carlos : are you sure ? julian : alexis is the best thing that 's ever happened to me , so i 'm not gon na let you talk me into throwing my life away . carlos : hmm .

[ scoffs ] you undercut yourself when you asked the judge to hold alexis without bail . paul : the request certainly fit the crime . diane : yeah , but you appeared punitive , and you enabled me to present my client , a loving mother with strong ties to this community , as someone who would never try to flee this jurisdiction . after that , my meager bail request was just a formality . paul : you must have been raised by wolves , because obviously no one told you it 's best to be gracious in victory . diane : [ howls ] no , i was n't .

[ scene_break ] felix : michael was blindsided when he found out you were having carlos ' baby and not his . sabrina : yeah . i handled the whole thing terribly . felix : i say this as your friend . yes , you did . [ chuckles ] that 's what hurt michael the most . you lied to him . but i guarantee you that he does n't see carlos when he looks at teddy . he sees an innocent child that needs love . sabrina : you 're right . this is n't about teddy . this is about me . i lied to michael . i ... i betrayed him and i ran away . so how could i even ask him or -- or expect him to want to try again ? felix : well , what does michael say ? sabrina : he wants to figure out what it all means , if there 's still a chance for us . felix : what do you want , sabrina ? [ scene_break ] tracy : dr. finn , do not worry about monica . i have been outmaneuvering her for decades . finn : good . it was n't my intent to cause any discord . tracy : oh , we 're quartermaines . we 're live for discord . michael : hey , tracy , dr. finn . finn : hello , michael . michael : teddy around ? tracy : uh , yes , he 's on the veranda enjoying a mai tai . michael : what ? tracy : [ laughs ] he -- he 's upstairs in the nursery napping . michael : all right . uh , i got a surprise for the little man . baby swing . think he 'll like it ? tracy : uh , michael , he 's a baby . he likes everything . no , you know , i have n't heard anything yet on the monitor , but when he wakes up , i 'm sure he 'll love it . michael : all right . well , i 'm gon na go upstairs and , uh , accidentally wake up teddy . tracy : oh , good luck with that . so , doctor , what 's my prognosis ? finn : once i 'm back on staff at the hospital , i 'll have you run through a last series of tests , but , uh , the way i see it , you 're gon na make a complete recovery . tracy : i really appreciate the good news . finn : so do i . and , um , just think -- i wo n't have to go easy on you in backgammon , because you 're such an invalid . tracy : wait . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . finn : hmm ? tracy : you were going easy on me ? and here i thought your skills just did n't match mine . finn : well , i intend to prove otherwise . tracy : uh - huh . when you 've got the cash . finn : oh , so what you 're saying is that we 're not in this for just a friendly wager ? tracy : no . not a friendly wager . an unfriendly wager . any game that 's worth -- michael : excuse me , dr. finn ? can you look at teddy ? i think something 's wrong with him . finn : yeah , of course . tracy : what 's wrong ? i just saw him an hour ago . he was fine . finn : hey . hey , little man . let me see . michael , we need to get teddy to the hospital right away . follow me .

[ scene_break ] felix : so , what kind of a relationship do you want with michael ? friends ? more than friends ? sabrina : i do n't know . i 'm -- i 'm just trying to process everything that happened .

[ scene_break ] diane : i need to go check on your bail . the wire transfer should be completed by now . are you sure you want to have a private conversation with a special investigator from a da 's office without me here ? alexis : i 'll be fine . i 'm trusting you , anna . i hope this is n't some sort of ploy to trick me into making a confession . anna : on the contrary . we both know who killed carlos , do n't we ? alexis : well , anna , if you know , if your office knows who killed carlos , you need to drop the charges against me . anna : all the evidence points to you , so my hands are tied . but yours are n't . alexis : what are you saying ? anna : what i 'm saying is , there 's only one solid piece of physical evidence linking you to the murder . there must be contradictory evidence at your house , proof of who really killed carlos . so now you 've made bail , you can go look for said evidence . you can go tear that house apart , because i guarantee you julian made a mistake . he 's not used to getting his hands dirty . he does n't know how to clean up properly . so you can save yourself , alexis . you can uncover whatever it is that julian hid . you can unearth the past . bring the dead back to life , if you will . [ scene_break ] carlos : all this talk about changing your life , living for love -- that was just talk . first chance you got , you ran back to the organization . julian : well , i had to go back ! ava was in trouble ! carlos : you do n't have to lie to a dead man . julian : [ sighs ] carlos : you went back because that 's who you are . you love it . you love giving the orders . you love the power . you love breaking the law , getting away with it . [ laughs ] come on . you do n't want a quiet life with a lawyer wife . you want to keep right on doing what you 're doing . that 's why you got rid of me . 'cause i got in the way . i could have testified against you , so you murdered me . julian : no , no , no . no , no , no ! no . carlos : but you pushed alexis too far this time . she let you maneuver her into keeping quiet about duke 's murder , but she ca n't live with mine . [ laughs ] so now you have a dilemma . how do you shut her up ? [ laughs ] who am i kidding ? you know exactly how to shut her up . after all , you had no trouble killing me when i became inconvenient . julian : well , you were my business associate . alexis -- [ chuckles ] alexis is my wife . carlos : yeah . keep telling yourself that . julian : [ sighs ] carlos : you are a cold - blooded killer , and you already know where this is going . julian : you do n't know anything about me ! i mean , [ chuckling ] hell , you 're -- you 're not even here . you 're -- you 're dead . carlos : i 'm dead because you killed me , amigo ! julian : [ sighs ] carlos : because in the end , love , loyalty -- those are just words to you . in the end , you will do anything to save yourself .

[ scene_break ] carly : okay , i get this is karma . i really do . when i was pregnant with michael , i lied , i manipulated . i was willing to let tony believe that he was michael 's father , because i was afraid it was aj . so i get i 'm paying the price , all right ? i am . but our son should n't have to , sonny . sonny : michael makes his own choices . and one thing i know about our son -- he can live with the consequences . carly : you know , i almost wish that sabrina was the girl that i could hate the way i should . but i really do n't believe that she 's that manipulative . the kind of girl that i could dig in and fight , you know , that i could expose all of her secrets . but sabrina -- she 's just passive . she 's taken the course of least resistance . she 's staying with michael out of convenience , and our son deserves more than that . sonny : michael will take care of it . carly : ugh ! sonny : we agreed to let him . carly : okay , but i 'm gon na hate every second of it . anna : oh , hi , sonny . carly : oh , hi . anna : hi , carly . i wonder if i can have a word with you . carly : okay , great . i 'm gon na go . i have some calls to make . i 'll see you later . bye . sonny : what happened at the courthouse ? anna : yeah , so , uh , alexis was first on the docket , and , um , she pled not guilty , obviously . sonny : julian was here about a half hour ago . can you believe that son of a bitch did n't even show his face at alexis ' arraignment ? anna : right . well , the good news is that she made bail . she 's headed home . sonny : well , maybe now alexis knows , you know , who she married . anna : mm - hmm . sonny : that he was willing to let her take the fall for something he did . maybe this will inspire her to save herself and turn on him .

[ scene_break ] jason : what , you 're refusing to help me find my son ? spinelli : i 'm trying to be a voice of reason . jason : you said you could make it happen ! spinelli : okay , look , it pains me to fundamentally disagree with my mentor here , but just hear me out , okay ? look -- look , if -- if you break out of here , you 're going to be port charles ' most wanted . okay , you -- you wo n't be able to focus your energy on finding your son because you 're going to be looking over your shoulder all the time , looking for cops with orders to shoot to kill . even worse for the innocent one , the d.a . of darkness will have to take cops off of that case to look for you . jason : the cops have been searching for jake for 24 hours . they sent in a shrink to question elizabeth like she would hurt her own child . you know what they 've done ? they 've managed to find an abandoned baby and confuse him with jake . aside from that , they 've done nothing ! not one lead ! spinelli : with deepest humility , i just ask you , what makes you think you can be more successful where -- where a combined effort of law enforcement has failed ? [ scene_break ] carly : maybe you did n't hear me . if you value your life , put the gun down . and if you hurt one hair on his head , jerry will take a blowtorch to your tongue . jax : you know , actually , i 'd rather have you shoot me than spend one more minute with my brother 's biggest mistake . bartender : that 's the first i 've heard of jerry jacks being married . carly : really ? you should take that up with him . and while you 're at it , tell him that you practically called his wife a liar . he should be here soon . i only came early to make sure this moron was okay . okay , while you 're pondering -- and try not to strain yourself -- here 's a suggestion . put that hand to real use and pour us two shots of tequila . bartender : jerry said i was supposed to keep his brother here . he did n't care how . i was about to lock him in a closet , but if you want to do shots instead -- these are on the house . carly : you 're a gentleman . jax : what the hell are you thinking ? carly : how about `` thank you , carly , `` because that bartender almost blew your head off . jax : he was bluffing and he said so . carly : what difference does it make ? now you know that jerry set you up , so you do n't have to stay here -- right ?

[ scene_break ] kristina : you 're not using -- well , okay , maybe a little . but it 's okay , 'cause i 'm using you , too . johnny : does n't make it right . kristina : how can you not see how great this is ? we both hate my father . we both want him to hurt . and nothing does that better than making him believe his worst enemy is nailing his daughter . johnny : god . kristina : i mean , think about it . you should actually be even more all over this than i am . johnny : all right , kristina , we do n't live in a magic snow globe with sonny , isolated from the rest of the world . other people who are very , very close to you have thrown around some pretty strong opinions about this so - called relationship . and i ca n't come in between you and your family . you need them . kristina : do n't even worry about my family . they 'll be fine . johnny : have you seen your mother and your sister lately ? kristina : mom and sam are upset , but they 'll come around . johnny : where , on planet crazy ? kristina : once they see that this was a positive experience for me , they 'll realize the end really did justify the means . johnny : okay . see , now you 're starting to scare me , because you sound like claudia . kristina : how ? johnny : claudia had a million and one different reasons to stay with sonny , and they would change whichever way the wind was blowing . at the drop of a hat , she could rattle off any one of them and honestly and sincerely believe that they were valid . claudia stayed with sonny because she finally commanded that respect . she finally had that power that she did not want to relinquish . kristina : i can relate to that . johnny : yeah . and eventually , she convinced herself that she had a secure future with sonny , with kids and all , and that she actually loved sonny , and that maybe with a few tweaks here and there , sonny would love her , too . as if that would ever happen . look , kristina , the point is , claudia had to convince herself that she was getting something out of the situation in order to justify staying in that abusive relationship . kristina : that 's a terrible analogy . the situations are completely different . you 're not abusive . you 're nice to me . you do n't shove me around or yell at me or call me a whore . and besides , this is just an act . [ knock on door ] [ kristina sighs ] johnny : ahh . ethan : ah , company . johnny : not anymore . listen , take this girl somewhere other than here , sit her down , and tell her again why i 'm a bad idea -- although this time , make it convincing , huh ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i appreciate you looking at the big picture , max , but if you think that if i 'm ordering a hit on johnny zacchara that i would n't be confident that i could neutralize anthony ... max : i could show you a long list of dead guys who underestimated anthony . i mean , he may be a crackpot , but he 's a dangerous one . milo : max , would you give it up ? sonny : okay . it 's okay , milo . i need to make sure that i got everything covered . max : boss , i would n't be doing my job if i did n't warn you about all possible consequences . you kill johnny , your sons become targets . sonny : you do n't think that 's on my mind 24/7 , max ? is this really about anthony ? max : who else ? sonny : well , you used to work for johnny for a little bit , right ? maybe you got a little loyalty there . max : boss , are you questioning my loyalty ? sonny : no , i 'm not questioning it . all i 'm saying is that if you 're thinking of sparing johnny zacchara 's life , let me remind you , there 's something wrong with this man who 's manipulating my daughter , drinking wine with her . now he 's in bed with her . is that okay with you ? max : no . sonny : then you 're either with me or against me . max : i 'm with you , boss . no question . milo and i will come up with a plan to kill johnny , clean and distant . sonny : and make it fast , for my daughter 's sake . i want this bastard dead by the end of the week . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm still mad . you were wrong to use michael to put sonny in prison . but i get why you did it . jax : you do ? carly : i do . you believe that our lives would be better with sonny out of the picture . your plan was doomed to fail . that was the problem . jax : it worked there for a little while . carly : [ chuckles ] michael was bound to come forward eventually anyway , right ? you know , he 's not like the rest of us . he ca n't keep that big of a lie . he ca n't handle that . and he ca n't keep fighting the guilt that constantly gnaws at you . and god only knows what 's going to happen to him , or who he 's going to be , but i know one thing . he could never let sonny take the fall for something he did . if we just would have stopped for one minute the night claudia died and thought , just thought -- i do n't know . we would have saved ourselves a lot of grief . can you tell i 've had a lot of time to think and think and think ? even though i 'm still mad at your methods , it would be very hypocritical of me to be so mad . i think there 's enough fault here to bear , so . jax : yeah . i think you 're right . i think everyone 's at fault . carly : okay . so , um ... you 've been right about sonny . he needs to be out of our lives , and i want to be united with you on that . jax : okay . well , on that happy note , i think i 'm going to leave . [ carly laughs ] jax : savor the moment . it means a lot . [ scene_break ] lulu : bad day ? dante : it 's not going to go down as one of my favorites . look , there 's something i 'm trying not to tell you . lulu : okay . um , what is it ? dante : uh , franco 's resurfaced . lulu : what ? dante : and he reached out to me , and then maxie , and now carly . lulu : he 's made contact ? dante : yeah . he 's sent crime scene photos in the mail . lulu : um , do we know what he 's saying ? dante : not right now . we got to be prepared for anything . lulu : wow . i just -- i did n't think that we would ever have to deal with that maniac again . dante : the good thing is that he wo n't be able to operate under darkness anymore . everyone 's coming forward to the authorities , even carly . we 're going to catch him , okay ? but in the meantime , you 've just got to be a little more careful . if you feel threatened , or if you feel like someone 's following you -- lulu : i 'll call you . i know . i will . dante : you better . 'cause if anything were to happen to you again while on my watch , i could never forgive myself . lulu : well , as long as you have my back , i 'm not worried . dante : speaking of your back ... michael : hey , dante . i thought i heard [ scene_break ] olivia : hey , honey . brook lynn : what 's got you so fascinated ? olivia : oh , you see that building over there ? that top floor ? that 's john 's penthouse . you can see it from anywhere in the city , which i guess is pretty much the point -- taunting sonny . `` here i am . come and get me . `` brook lynn : you look sad . is everything all right between you guys ? olivia : i think it 's pretty much over between me and john . brook lynn : are you sure about that ? i mean , maybe it was just a really bad fight . olivia : i do n't know . [ sighs ] brook lynn : johnny must really be something . olivia : yeah , he really is . why would you think so ? brook lynn : i was just thinking about you , back in the day , always such a mystery . olivia : [ laughs ] like an open book . brook lynn : no , you were a mystery . [ olivia laughs ] brook lynn : i 'm serious . you were gorgeous . guys fell for you left and right -- babies , grandpas . did n't matter . [ olivia laughs ] brook lynn : but you never , you know , had a serious relationship , i guess , after sonny . then you come here , and johnny just cuts right in . olivia : well , you know what they say about love . it happens when you least expect it , right ? i walked into jake 's that night , and johnny was sitting at the bar . and nothing was ever the same . brook lynn : i 'm sorry it did n't work out between you guys . olivia : i guess we had a built - in expiration date . brook lynn : how do you figure ? olivia : [ sighs ] you know , there 's just a lot working against us , you know ? the age difference was the least of our trouble . it was the mob , sonny -- especially sonny . but i tell you what , what john and i had , when we had it , it does n't get any more real than that . that man is directly responsible for some of the happiest moments of my life . and then , uh , claudia got killed , and the truth came out about sonny and dante , and john 's hatred just took over . and now , i hardly recognize him . [ scene_break ] ethan : look , there 's a reason my previous attempts at offering advice have failed , okay ? i 'm probably the least qualified person to warn kristina away from an unsuitable companion . kristina : see ? even ethan does n't think there 's anything wrong with us pretending to be together . ethan : no , no , no . i did n't say that , okay ? i mean , if you want to end this pseudo - dating game , then just say no . johnny : i did say no , many times . kristina : but i wo n't listen . so please tell johnny to stop being such a downer . why do i have to keep reminding everyone we 're not having sex ? we 're just pretending to get a reaction out of my dad . ethan : look , okay , we 're not talking about an ordinary daddy here who plays golf on the weekends . we 're talking about sonny corinthos , scary crime boss , okay ? i mean , you remember what he wanted to do to me when he thought i hurt you . look , on second thought , you and i do need to have a serious conversation about this . come on . johnny : thank you . [ scene_break ] michael : look , i 'm sorry , guys . i 'll pretend i was never dante and lulu : no . dante : listen , dude -- lulu : please , do n't run . this is your home , too . we should have remembered that . dante : obviously , this is my thought . i should have been thinking . we 'll come up with a communication system , all right ? i mean , we could go to your house instead , too . lulu : yes . michael : you do n't have to do that . i mean , this is where you live . dante : no , this is where you live , too . michael : i just do n't want to be an inconvenience to everybody . lulu : no . it is not like that . you have no idea how desperate everyone was to get you home . dante : look , it 's not a big deal . we 'll just figure out something , okay ? forget it . you good ? michael : yeah . yeah . dante : all right . hey , tell me . how 'd it go at carly 's after i left ? michael : um , well , jax took over . he put guards in place and hired drivers for everybody . dante : really ? well , that 's good . i 'm glad carly did that . she called jax . she called the cops . i mean , that was n't her first instinct , but it was the right thing to do . civilians should n't be trying to mess with franco . michael : you think you can stop him this time ? dante : oh , i do n't know . i mean , it 's not going to be easy . franco 's a different kind of monster . he knows how to fly under the radar . i mean , he 's been killing people for years all over the world , and no one 's been able to get a read on the guy . when he decides to come into the light , it 's on his own terms , not ours . i mean , he puts crime scene photos , his , on the walls of galleries , and he opens the doors and invites the world in to see them . and that takes a lot of nerve . michael : yeah . franco 's fixated on jason , and that makes everybody that jason cares about a target . and that includes my brother and my sisters . is there any way the cops can wrap this thing up quickly ? dante : we 're going to do everything we can . he 's outsmarted law enforcement once before -- actually , more than once before , i 'm sorry to say . but there is a plan in place , and we need jason to implement it . michael : well , he 's in pentonville . how would you do that ? dante : he 'd get a conditional release . michael : that 's great . dante : well , that depends on who you 're asking . lulu : what 's the problem ? dante : they want me to agree to take jason into my custody . i 'm just not sure i 'm willing to do that . [ scene_break ] brook lynn : johnny 's in the mob ? olivia : yeah . anthony zacchara 's his father , a man who has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever . total nut job . he tried to kill john when he was 8 years old . brook lynn : you 're kidding me . olivia : no . his mother took the bullet instead . that 's the kind of insanity that john grew up with . anyway , anthony went to prison , and john finally had a chance , you know , to be free , to go legit . and he tried . but his nut job sister just kept pulling him back in . brook lynn : that would be claudia ? olivia : yes . 2 things about john -- he 's reckless , and he loved his sister with his whole heart , and she loved him , too . i 'll give her that . but her love was just twisted and destructive . and after she married sonny , and everything went to hell , his perspective , it just changed . suddenly , claudia became this innocent victim of sonny 's abuse . and now , that hatred 's about to roll over a 17-year - old girl who 's got enough problems of her own . brook lynn : it 's heavy stuff . olivia : god . when i walked into his apartment , and i saw him there with kristina , i was just so offended on so many levels , i just lost it . i threw down , and i broke everything off . but now , i 'm thinking maybe i jumped the gun . you know , maybe the thing to do is n't to shut john down . i have to try and stop him before he does something that he ca n't take back . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] claire : i know . last person you expected to see . can i come in ? johnny : why not ? claire : um , i will get right to the point . my fast track career was dealt a major blow by the michael corinthos debacle , and i am looking to regain traction . i thought i found a way through the capture of a serial killer , but that seems to be stalled . johnny : i 'm sorry . i have n't heard a point anywhere . claire : i 'm just giving you context . johnny : mmm . claire : the fastest and most satisfactory way for me to make things right is to build an airtight case against sonny and get him convicted , and i think that 's where we both have the same interest , okay ? so i know you do n't trust the justice system , and i ca n't even say i blame you , but think of the potential payoff . sonny corinthos behind bars . you want to help me put him there ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're not going to believe this . i saw johnny zacchara with kristina , my teenage daughter , holding hands , you know . [ jason sighs ] sonny : he put his arm around her . and then olivia tells me that they 're at johnny 's place drinking wine . he 's taking advantage of her confusion and pain . she 's very vulnerable right now . jason : alexis was here . she told me . sonny : to add insult to injury , he 's helping himself to my suppliers -- the trijillo brothers , the lopez brothers . i am at the end of my rope . so i 'm making arrangements to take him out , and i want you to do the same with anthony . [ scene_break ] michael : well , if it could stop franco , why would n't you go along with jason 's release ? lulu : i 'd like to know the answer to that , too . dante : okay . you two are missing the 3 magic words -- '' in my custody . `` if he decides to take off for parts unknown , the court 's going to hold me responsible . they can then charge me as an accessory , and i 'll be sent to pentonville because of jason . lulu : oh . well , okay , that 's not going to work , because jason hates you , and when franco 's caught -- if he 's even caught -- there 's no guarantee that jason would n't take off just to make sure you 'd get thrown in prison . dante : you want to weigh in ? michael : you want my opinion ? dante : yeah . you know jason better than either of us . michael : ohh . well , i know that jason wants to stop franco , and he will do anything , and he will stick around until that happens . afterwards , i do n't know . if it were me , i 'd do whatever it took to stay out of pentonville . dante : i got to talk to claire . lulu : hey , whoa , whoa . does that mean you 're going to agree ? dante : well , i think i have to . lulu : why ? even michael thinks there 's a chance that jason will leave you twisting in the wind . dante : i thought it was important to do the right thing , even though it would cost michael . i ca n't hold myself to a lower standard because it will cost me . [ scene_break ] kristina : i really like you , ethan , and i owe you big time after all the lies i told about you hitting me . but please , do n't try to talk me out of my plan with johnny . i 'd have to turn you down . ethan : [ scoffs ] okay . then maybe you can make me understand why this ridiculous relationship that you 've manufactured is so important to you . kristina : this might sound weird to you , but i have n't felt this good about anything since before the first time kiefer put me in the hospital . it 's like johnny 's part of my therapy . ethan : yeah . that does n't make any sense . kristina : it does if you 're me . 3 times a week , i have an hour session with my therapist . i sit there , and we dredge up all the things that make me screwed up -- my type `` a `` mother , my mobster father , my abusive boyfriend . i walk out of there , and i feel hopeless , like i 'm so broken , i 'll never be fixed . but when i 'm with johnny , and the plan is working , my dad is standing there with his head about to blow off . i feel my own power over my dad and my body and my choices . ethan : well , that 's definitely something to be desired , okay ? but this is about more than just your need to feel empowered , you know ? there are real lives at stake here . i mean , your father is a dangerous , psychotic man with a hair trigger on the very best of days , and you 're aiming him at johnny like a loaded weapon . and that gun will go off , and someone will end up dead , okay ? how is your power going to sit with you then ? [ scene_break ] johnny : well , i could be interested . it depends on what your plan is and where i fit in . claire : i made a deal with sonny . johnny : ooh , in quotes . claire : that 's right . and it 's no secret that sonny wants you out of circulation . and i told him i would let him provoke you into committing an illegal act , and that i would be on the other end to arrest you . johnny : and you want my help with that . claire : in quotes , remember ? johnny : how could i forget ? claire : now , look . it was always my intention to turn the tables and bust sonny instead . i mean , no offense -- he 's the bigger game . [ johnny chuckles ] claire : it 's going to look better on my resume . johnny : sure . claire : i 'd get the high profile collar in the win column . and presto , my career 's on track again . but that all changed when judge carroll ordered michael 's release . now sonny is not motivated to play . johnny : well , neither am i . as it turns out , i like to do things my own way . but you 'll be happy to know that i 'm poking at the beast , and i 'm going to get sonny corinthos to retaliate in that highly illegal way that you 're looking for . [ scene_break ] jason : there 's just no way that i can guarantee taking anthony out right now . he 's not in general population . they 've got him in some high - risk cell block . and even if i manage somehow to get to him , these guards are watching me 24 hours a day . if i get caught , i could spend the rest of my life in this hell hole . sonny : yeah . we would n't want that . but if , you know , anthony 's alive , he 'll target my sons . jason : i do n't know what to say . i mean , the obvious thing is to just leave johnny alone for now . sonny : i ca n't do that . i mean , i do n't know if you heard what i said . we 're talking about a 30-year - old man who 's got his hands all over my teenage daughter . as a father , i ca n't allow that . he 's a dead man .

[ johnny laughs ] [ scene_break ] jason : [ sighs ] what 's this ? dante : it 's an order for your release . it 's temporary . jason : ah . bait for franco . dante : that 's the idea . the catch is , you are being released into my custody , which means my ass is on the line . if you manage to escape , i can be charged as an accessory and wind up here in your place . that does n't fit into my future plans , so you 're going to get pretty sick of me . if you decide to run , i 'll shoot you to stop you . | johnny refuses to use kristina to get to sonny any longer . he is concerned that kristina 's logic reminds him of claudia 's . he asks ethan to explain to kristina why pretending to be involved with him is a bad idea . kristina does n't see anything wrong with their pretense . ethan agrees with johnny that he and kristina need to talk about it . kristina tells ethan that it is as if johnny is part of her therapy because she feels so empowered when she sees her dad 's head about to explode . he asks her how her power will feel when johnny or sonny is dead because of it . olivia tells brook lynn that she thinks it is over between johnny and her because of his hatred for sonny but that in retrospect , she is n't so sure that she should have broken up with him but should have tried to stop him . olivia storms into johnny 's penthouse . he braces himself for the backlash , but instead , she kisses him and they make love in the living room and kristina walks in on them . |

[ scene_break ] nikolas : so , what happened with shawn ? alexis : he 's at the police station . he 's turning himself in . nikolas : for what ? alexis : i 'm not at liberty to say , for legal reasons . nikolas : well , i saw the news earlier . the police brought sonny in for questioning in connection with a shooting at the metro court , and we both know he never gets his hands dirty . alexis : there 's no proof that he was involved in any of this . nikolas : there never is . alexis , you assured me that shawn was n't taking jason 's place in sonny 's organization , did n't you ? well , i think he did . i think he 's now sonny 's enforcer , which probably means he 's the one who shot olivia . [ scene_break ] carly : so many people want franco dead , but someone picked the exact place , the exact time , and the exact mo as i did . what are the odds of that ? shawn : look , all i care is that you , and i were n't to blame for getting olivia shot . carly : oh , thank god . god . shawn : all this time , i 've been walking around with her blood on my hands , my soul . but i did n't shoot olivia . i did n't put her in the hospital , and neither did you . carly : no .

[ scene_break ] franco : if you are so concerned with my welfare , why did you try and gut me with a letter opener ? ava : would you like an apology ? franco : yes , i would . and i 'd like for you to mean it . ava : i spent kiki 's whole life protecting her from you . when she 'd ask about her father , i 'd give vague answers -- that he was not a good guy and that he died . franco : did you ever show her my work ? ava : what if she 'd loved it -- especially the early stuff before you got all morbid and twisted ? franco : do n't knock morbid and twisted . it 's paid the bills . [ sighs ] ava : i was afraid i 'd break -- that i 'd give in and tell kiki that her father was a -- talented , visionary artist . and then i 'd have to tell her the rest -- that for all your gifts , for all your genius , you 're a monster . franco : you do n't need to call me that , you know ? and you do n't need to protect kiki from me anymore . ava : i 'm trying to get there . it 's just gon na take me a long time to adjust . and in the meantime , i 'm pretty concerned about our takeover of elq . franco : oh , right , the takeover . ava : because who knows what happens to your shares if you die ? maybe they get watered down . maybe the get redistributed among the family . either way , i do n't want to find out . my financial security depends upon your survival . franco : oh , well , hey , then pay off your mortgage and go buy yourself something sexy and italian and red , because i 'm not going anywhere .

[ scene_break ] shawn : look , i 'll get sonny up to speed and get things patched up . carly : i 'll go with you . shawn : no , no . bad -- bad idea , okay ? i 'll probably find sonny at the hospital with olivia , and it 'll be easier for me to talk to him if you 're not there . carly : [ chuckles ] shawn : i 'll -- i 'll fix it , carly , okay ? carly : you just tell him i want to talk to him . shawn : and i 'll make sure he 's ready to listen . carly : thank you . shawn : no . thanks to the other shooter . carly : yeah , the other person who wanted franco dead . shawn : hey . go home , okay ? give joss a kiss and do n't think about franco any more tonight , okay ?

[ chuckles ] i was a superstar . being with me -- had cachet . ava : people were lining up to exploit you . i was n't one of them . i saw something amazing in you -- something so dazzling i could n't see the darkness underneath . franco : you saw the darkness . you liked it . you still do . ava : what do you think kiki will think of your dark side ? how much are you willing to tell her , to show her ? franco : i 'll tell her the truth . you know , no one 's all bad . ava : well -- if you 're gon na convince kiki of that , you 're gon na need me to vouch for you . franco : how are you gon na do that ? you two are n't even speaking . ava : i love my daughter . and she loves me . we 'll get past whatever difficulties we 're having . franco : yeah , you hope . ava : if you think you can win kiki over on your own , fine . go for it . see how far you get working at cross purposes with her mother . franco : did you just refer to yourself in the third person ? ava : [ sighs ] or -- franco : you did , did n't you ? ava : we can work together . franco : [ laughs ] finally , the point . do n't get me wrong -- you were always terrific at the buildup . you were a great negotiator . ava : no negotiation . we either do this my way or not at all . franco : okay . what are we doing ? what is it we 're doing here ? ava : i have the perfect means of disarming kiki . you and i are getting back together . [ scene_break ] nikolas : leave shawn now . alexis : no . nikolas : yeah . make -- make a clean break . whatever good you see in him does n't change the reality of what he 's chosen to do . if you do n't end it now , you 're gon na end up just like sam . alexis : sam and i are in very different places in our lives . nikolas : [ chuckling ] no . not -- not really , alexis . she loved jason , accepted what he did , the risks that he took , including the fact that he killed people on sonny 's orders , as if that somehow absolves him of blame . alexis : well , not absolve . maybe mitigate the blame a little bit -- for jason and shawn . nikolas : even if shawn does n't end up dead like jason , he 's still a criminal and a killer by choice . that goes against everything you believe in . alexis : you know , it 's too bad that you did n't pursue a legal career , because that was a really persuasive argument . nikolas : look , shawn trades in violence , you know ? and violence ca n't be managed or contained . all you have to do is look at sonny . look at how his business has affected his children , right ? i mean , morgan 's the only one that 's come out relatively unscathed . you want to take that risk with molly ? alexis : no . no , of course , i do n't . nikolas : yeah . alexis : but , truly , who am i to judge ? i mean , i ran over kristina 's abuser and left him there to die . nikolas : alexis , you were driving your severely beaten daughter to the hospital . your car struck kiefer by accident . there was no intent there . it 's a far cry from being a paid killer . alexis : thank you for that . and i know . i know you 're right . nikolas : but -- alexis : but it does n't change the fact that i love the guy .

[ scene_break ] helena : it 's remarkable . do n't you agree ? that something so -- so insignificant , so tacky , could be so deadly . tracy : your earring ? helena : on its own , it 's -- merely a -- well , a vulgar affectation , but when laced with a toxin , it becomes the cause of your ruin . all i needed was one quiet moment to make the exchange . while you were mercifully unconscious , my men replaced your earring with the one you 're wearing , and voilá . well , the dose was n't strong enough to kill you where you stood , but it will and soon . death delayed is death , all the same . you may have killed me , luke , but i killed you , too .

[ scene_break ] sonny : it 's a huge relief , knowing that you 're not responsible for getting olivia shot . shawn : okay , well , not just me , you know ? carly 's innocent , as well . sonny : she still lied to you . she lied to me . she almost brought us all down . shawn : right . all right , look . she ca n't help it . come on . you know , look . she felt her kids were threatened . sonny : right . shawn : you know , when carly feels , she acts . you know , without jason to keep her in line -- i 'm just saying -- you know , just a period of adjustment . sonny : she 's still not clear on this . shawn : well , neither am i . you know , i 'm -- i 'm glad olivia 's gon na be okay , but this whole thing , man -- [ sighs ] it cost me .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : you fought for custody because you were worried about your sister 's safety , and for good reason . michael , you paid a high price growing up in sonny 's household , and you understandably did n't want the same thing for your sister . michael : [ sighs ] you know there was more to it than that , sabrina . when i filed for custody of aj , i was n't even thinking about keeping her safe . i mean , sonny ... he killed my father , okay ? he killed my father , and he got away with a slap on the wrist . so i wanted to take someone away from him . i wanted him to hurt the way that i was hurt . sabrina : do you wish that you 'd done things differently ? michael : [ sighs ] look , aj was n't always a good man . he was n't always a good man , but he was trying to be a better man when sonny cut him down . aj did not deserve to die like that . sabrina : okay , but from what you just said , it sounds like you do n't think sonny 's getting what he deserves , either . look , maybe it 's time you laid down your arms and -- and ended this war that you 've engaged in . is there any way you could see yourself forgiving sonny ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : helena got very chatty when i dropped her off on that rock in the middle of the mediterranean . [ chuckles ] first , i chalked it up to dementia . the crone has gotten a bit dotty lately . but she did drop one tidbit that had a distinct ring of truth concerning the secret that you 've been clinging to for dear life . rosalie : and you told me you would n't say anything . nikolas : and i 've kept my word . i 've protected your secret . i 've been very , very good to you , rosalie . compensated you well for acting as my agent within elq . rosalie : yeah , and i 've come through for you , have n't i ? i told you what michael was up to . i got those shares for you from nina . nikolas : you 've proven yourself an asset , so i 'm willing to continue our arrangement . you 'll still have a place here if you recant your statement to the police . stay on team cassadine , and the way is yours . your secret will remain a secret . what do you say ? [ scene_break ] michael : well , part of me wants this to be over . i 'm just tired of being at odds with my family . i 'm sick of hating sonny . i know i could just end this by letting him off the hook . that -- that 's what people say , right ? letting him off the hook ? but sonny did hang my father off a meat hook and forced him to sign away his parental rights . sonny always hated my father , and he killed him bit by bit , and then all at once . who -- who am i to forgive that ? and what -- what is that saying about me ? sabrina : michael , it says that you 're a good person , not a bad person . look , i did n't know aj very well , but it sounds to me like he wanted what was best for you , and he would want you to be happy . are you happy now ? michael : what if i 'm not ? [ scoffs ] what if i want sonny and carly back in my life ? and after everything that i 've done , i mean , how ... [ sighs ] ... how would i even make that happen ? sabrina : well , there is one way . [ scene_break ] sonny : do n't get too comfortable trusting rosalie . michael took her in , gave her a job . look what it got him . he lost his job , and the quartermaines lost control of their company . if rosalie can blow up elq that easy , she can just as easily blow up you and kiki .

[ sighs ] you 've probably noticed that she 's ... got a funny way about her . ric : oh , yeah . slightly . madeline : she 's ... been unwell for a long time , well before the coma . i was amazed that the doctors at shadybrook agreed to release her . they should 've known that she 's a very , very sick girl . ric : who ought to be remanded into their care ... indefinitely . leaving her money in the hands of her husband . madeline : i love my daughter . ric : oh , no . madeline : ... no matter what you think . and i do n't relish the idea of institutionalizing her , but i ... [ sighs ] ... i really feel like in the long run , it 's -- it 's gon na be the best thing for her . maybe she 'll finally get the help that she 's needed for so long . ric : no , yeah , no . it 's -- it 's an act of mercy . madeline : so , we 're agreed ? ric : took a lawyer to get her out of shadybrook , right ? gon na take a lawyer to get her back in . i 'll do it . madeline : there 's just one other , little problem . if we ... do what we 've envisioned here , nina will be locked up , you 'll have her money , and i 'll be out in the cold . i did n't come this far to end up empty - handed . [ scene_break ] franco : uh , no . you -- you ca n't meet her . nina : why not ? franco : uh , because she 's shy . nina : she 's shy ? that 's why she 's hanging out with carly ? franco : and she 's terrified of pearls . nina : is she ? oh , well , then , i will cure her .

[ scene_break ] sam : all that time you were so eaten up by something , and i wanted to help . jason , you made me think that you were grieving over your father . jason : i was grieving . that hit me harder than i ever thought it would . losing alan made this decision to give up my son that much harder , sam . sam : why did you do it , jason ? jason : everything happened at once ! you told me you could n't have a baby . alan died the same day i found out i was going to be a father ! monica asked me to sit with her that first night , i said yes ! the next morning elizabeth said , `` i 'm going to remarry lucky . `` she asked me to let her raise the baby with lucky as a family . sam : really ? and what was her excuse , huh ? what , was she afraid that lucky was going to get hooked back on pills if he found out that the two of you had slept together ? jason : that -- that 's part of it , yeah . sam : yeah ? well , then what 's the part , jason ? i suppose elizabeth 's perfect little world does n't have room for a father whose life is filled with danger . or was she waiting for you to dump me -- so you could go to her and be with her and her kids ?

[ scene_break ] nadine : i organized the supplies according to the frequency with which they 'll be used , sort of like a triage . hilda : when the levels get low , the computer will automatically generate a purchase order and send it to my inbox as clinic manager and to each of you . nadine : so we can spend less time bookkeeping and me time helping people . nikolas : thank you . you -- you did a great job getting everything together in such a short time . thank you . nadine : well , now all we need is people to help . hi . leyla : hi . i stopped by for a few hours to volunteer , but have you guys had to delay opening ? nikolas : no , no , we 're -- we 're actually open . there 's just no one here . leyla : to take advantage of a free clinic ? people should be lining up . nikolas : i know , i know . you 're right , and i 'm sure that it 's no accident that they 're not . [ scene_break ] monica : oh , my god . has something happened to edward ? tracy : no , no , no , daddy 's fine . well , he 's not fine . since michael 's accident , he just sits in the study and broods . actually , i was thinking of making up some crisis at e.l.q . to give him something to focus on . monica : well , that 's okay with me . i mean , as long as we keep him moving . so that 's not why you 're here . tracy : do i have to have a reason ? monica : yeah , yeah , pretty much . what , have you run out of people to harass in port charles ? tracy : oh , nice to see your recovery is progressing . you 're still the pain in the ass you always were . monica : well , you know , like they say , one day at a time . but i am back to reading the medical journals so i can get back to work and get my life back . tracy : i 'm glad . monica : thank you . i 'm not , however , at the stage of the apologies and the reparations at the moment , so if that 's why you 're here -- tracy : no , no , i need your advice about lulu . [ scene_break ] anthony : i 've spoken to the monkey . i heard his version . now i want to hear yours . johnny : i can handle this . anthony : clearly not . listen , you had a taste of running things when you thought i was done , and that 's all right . it 's nature . it 's the biological imperative . the young needing to push out the old . but john , i 'm not ready to spend my days pruning the roses . not yet . i 'm a fact of your life , just like this garbage they 're trying to pin on you . i know you 're not stupid enough to go after somebody in public unprovoked , but they 're going to try to make that stick , and trevor says they 're talking about attempted murder . johnny : that 's a joke . anthony : it 's not a joke . johnny : fine . logan had a thing for lulu . he still does . she cut him loose , and he did n't want to take no for an answer , so he got in my face at the hotel last night , told me that i 'm putting lulu in too much danger and i should walk away . i did n't like that idea , so he hit me . i hit him back harder . anthony : this is n't about who started a fistfight . this is about your name . you 're my son . they could n't hold me . they could n't keep me locked up , so now they 're coming after you . the cops , special prosecutor baldwin , that bitch alexis davis . but as god is my witness , john , they will not get away with it . [ scene_break ] alexis : why are you here ? claudia : justice would be nice . my brother spent the entire night in lockup for defending himself . alexis : the special prosecutor was there . claudia : the special prosecutor is logan 's father . one could almost understand him subverting the law , abusing the power of his office to protect his son . what 's your excuse ? alexis : we 're done here . claudia : being frisky , ms. davis , because you 're getting some ? jerry : excuse me . you 're forgetting yourself , ms. zacchara . claudia : no , i do n't forget anything , mr. jacks . logan hayes is walking around free , and my brother spent the night in lockup for no other reason than his name is zacchara . alexis : assault is assault . it has nothing to do with his name . claudia : if that was true , then you would n't be getting so cozy with a man here who has committed a number of assaults himself . alexis : out . alexis : you better tell me what 's going on between the two of you , because if you do n't , i 'm sure claudia will be more than happy to . [ scene_break ] tracy : this is not just some rebellious teenager . lulu is involved with john zacchara . monica : do you think that he had anything to do with what happened to michael ? tracy : no , but plenty others just like it , and i do n't want lulu to be another name on his list . monica : so why did you come to me ? tracy : because nothing i say is getting through to lulu . i warned her about dillon . we all know how that ended up . then i warned her about logan , the son of her father 's worst enemy . monica : tracy , tracy , have you looked at my track record as a parent ? i mean , emily and -- and a.j . are gone . jason is slowly destroying himself , and you come to me for advice ? tracy : because you 've been through it . monica : i seem to remember that i was the one that advocated that jason should have his space . he should -- he should be free to make choices . tracy : and if you had it to do over again , what would you do ? monica : everything in my power to get him away from sonny and that lifestyle . everything . so that is my advice to you , tracy . you do everything that is absolutely necessary to get lulu away from zacchara and that mob . come on , you 're good at manipulating and scheming . now is the perfect time to put those skills to use . you do whatever you can do . do n't make the same mistake i did . you go and you save that girl 's life .

[ scene_break ] jerry : i love it . it brings color to your cheeks , jealousy . it makes you even more desirable . alexis : i would n't be a very good attorney if i got distracted that easily . jerry : come on , i have nothing resembling a personal relationship with claudia zacchara , your honor , much less a sexual encounter . alexis : you were pawing her on the docks . jerry : it was just a kiss . i mean , it was just done to , you know , to get a reaction out of you . alexis : sleeping with you does n't make me totally stupid . i know that you were interested in doing business with her , and the two of you were clearly sparring just then . jerry : come on , claudia 's beloved brother is in custody . she holds you responsible for it . she 's using our relationship to get to you and being rather obvious about it . alexis : there 's something obvious about this , which is why you ca n't come to my office anymore . i do n't want you anywhere around the vicinity of where i work . jerry : you know what ? suddenly , i feel used . alexis : you 'll get over it . jerry : well , you 'll make it up to me , though . [ scene_break ] kate : so , sonny and i have discussed it further , and we have decided to go for an autumn wedding , which will dictate color and palette and fabric . maxie : that 's -- that 's not much time . kate : well , then , maxie , let 's not waste a moment . i need to speak with federico and maha about the gowns , and where is lulu ? maxie : she 's in manhattan picking up the proofs for the hotel photo shoot because yoji is still using film . kate : oh , wow . yoji could stick pinholes in cardboard boxes for all i care . his work is fabulous . maxie : anything else ? kate : yes , those photos need to be placed in the flat pan by the end of the week . otherwise , we wo n't stay on schedule . and i want a copy on my desk by then . maxie : what about the shoes and gowns ? kate : yes , let 's talk about the wedding . okay , shoes . i think that stuart will do a fabulous job on some shoes , and oh , i want karl levant to do sonny 's tux . maxie : okay , i will make a call . kate : okay , and -- oh , no , wait , maxie . make sure you make a list of the floral designers . maxie : oh , okay . kate : and maxie , you need to set up a meeting for me and jax in manhattan with the european distributors . maxie : oh , they were under the impression you were meeting them at their offices in paris . kate : oh , no , i do n't think at jax is going to want to travel far away from home . it 's not common knowledge , but carly is pregnant . [ scene_break ] carly : look , i know how badly you want a child . i just put my -- i just put michael in a permanent care facility , and i 'm struggling to get through each day , and i 'm terrified for morgan . jax : oh , that was the whole point of sonny giving up paternity , so you would n't have to be . carly : i know that , but it 's common knowledge that morgan is sonny 's son , and until jason 's been running the business for a while and until sonny 's enemies believe that he 's gone legit , morgan 's still a target , and i do n't want to bring another baby into this world with that fear . jax : hey , listen to me . if you are pregnant , we will find a way to keep the baby and morgan safe , okay ? carly : more than anything , it 's too soon . i 'm not ready . i need some time . i mean , if i 'm pregnant , we 're going to know , because i 'm going to start showing some signs , and if i 'm not , we 're going to know that , too . but just not knowing just seems easier right now , and i -- can you understand that ? jax : yeah , okay , okay . i understand . i understand . i 'm sorry i pressured you . okay . i 'm late for work . you call me if you need me , okay ? okay . carly : hey , i need to see you as soon as possible .

[ scene_break ] claudia : what is it about the opposite sex that makes normal , intelligent people like yourself turn into mental defectives ? they throw everything out the window . i do n't -- i do n't get it . johnny : clearly . claudia : okay , look , we 're animals , johnny . we have animal instincts and urges , and we act on them or we do n't , period . you know , there is a way , though , we can make this whole situation go away . if you broke up with lulu , then she would go running back to logan hayes , and everybody would be happy . johnny : yeah , not funny . claudia : i 'm only half kidding , johnny . that girl 's trouble . johnny : i know you do n't like her . claudia : i do n't like what she 's doing to you . okay , you were ready to step up , john . you were going to take over the business , and -- johnny : hey , our father was bedridden , incapacitated , and out of sound mind . claudia : yeah . johnny : now he 's back . claudia : yeah , he 's back now , and he 's using lulu to keep you in line . johnny : that 's what i want him to think . claudia : you do n't even see it , johnny . you are too wrapped up in that whiny , immature little thing and her high school drama . i mean , come on . her ex- boyfriend attacks you , starts a fight in a public place . johnny , i could see it -- i really could , if she was a woman that was up to your standards , if she was a woman who was fiery and passionate and had a brain on her , for god 's sakes . but i do n't get it , johnny . i really do n't get it . why is that girl worth the trouble ? please tell me , because i -- i want to know . johnny : it 's not even worth explaining . you think love kills . claudia : i think love could be really dangerous for you . i think getting all wrapped up in some girl could push you right over the edge , could take you and -- look , it could turn you from a really decent , normal guy with a couple of wild impulses into a guy like our father , who gets what he wants and kills what he loves . [ scene_break ] leyla : i just do n't understand . the people who should be pouring through those doors are the very people general hospital is turning away . hilda : we 're not in competition . leyla : well , then why would anyone stop us from giving free health care to people who ca n't afford it ? nikolas : ah , mayor floyd . mayor floyd : the response to your free clinic seems underwhelming . nikolas : yes , well , that may have something to do with the fact that my ads were pulled pending review by the department of public health . mayor floyd : well , standards had to be met . nikolas : standards have been met . you 're just trying to scare people away and choke us with red tape , and you know it . mayor floyd : i have an obligation to protect the public . nikolas : your obligation is to protect the hmos and the drug companies as well as the bottom line of your buddies on the board of directors . mayor floyd : well , that is a bit grandiose to think that your little clinic poses a major threat to corporations . nikolas : well , it 's about -- it 's about setting a precedent , is it not , mayor ? i mean , giving away medications and -- and services that corporations can charge an arm and a leg for , right ? better let the uninsured suffer and die than upset the status quo , right ? mayor floyd : you want to honor the memory of your late fiancée by doing some good . i admire that . but there are better ways of doing it . nadine : we have our first patients . nikolas : oh , excuse me . i have work to do . nadine : go ahead and take a seat . go ahead and take a seat .

[ scene_break ] tracy : i have one simple question for you . yes or no ? did your father kill your mother ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm going to need you to do a second interview with the people at the hotel that saw the fight break out between zacchara and hayes . lucky : anything in particular you 're looking for ? alexis : i think everybody knows that they were fighting over lulu . so , baldwin 's out for blood . and i 'm sure you 're not that happy about the fact that your sister is dating a member of the mob elite . lucky : i really hope you did n't just compare me to scott baldwin . alexis : just go find out if anyone saw who threw the first punch . lucky : you got it . alexis : okay . alexis : i 'm busy right now . anthony : i 'll be gone just as soon as you drop all charges against my son and release him . alexis : the police are just holding him until an investigation is complete . anthony : how 's that little girl of yours -- kristina ? she enjoying that day camp she goes to ? [ scene_break ] kate : ava arguedas , rachel moore , these are the most highly sought after wedding coordinators around , and i want to interview both of them sooner rather than later . oh , i should probably view some archival footage of some high - profile weddings . how about tom and katie in italy ? maxie : beyonce and jay - z ? kate : yes . oh , and , maxie , i need to speak to the major houses for china and silver . and we need a charity for people to donate in lieu of gifts . jax : morning , guys . kate : oh , hello , jax . maxie , hold all my calls . we have a lot to discuss . maxie : i 'll have them forwarded to my cell phone . kate : and where are you going , maxie ? maxie : i figured i would go to the hospital and check on spinelli . jax : spinelli 's in the hospital ? maxie : he 's going to be fine . jax : give him my best . kate : well , it is your lunch break . maxie : thank you so much , kate . jax : i was here to discuss the budget projection for `` crimson , `` but all i hear are wedding plans . kate : well , i did mention that i was going to do a full spread in `` crimson . `` jax : are you sure that 's a good idea ? [ scene_break ] carly : thanks . sonny and had just left michael at the aftercare facility . we were emotional and we were n't thinking clearly , and we basically reconnected . it did n't change anything between the two of us . we both knew that . and when i went home , jax was there . he reached out and we -- diane : reconnected as well . carly : yeah . so , you know , i know how bad this sounds . diane : i 'm not making any moral judgments . i 'm just assessing . carly : i was with sonny and jax on the same night and i have been nauseous two days in a row . diane : carly , i deal in facts . i do n't deal in old wives ' tales . have you actually taken a pregnancy test ? carly : no , because everything i 'm feeling tells me i 'm pregnant , and when jax finds out he 's going to be thrilled . he 's going to be screaming it from the rooftops . and when sonny hears about it he 's going to get suspicious . i need to know my legal rights before sonny comes to me and starts asking -- diane : max ! [ scene_break ] tracy : i have not lived my life in pampered isolation . in fact , one of my previous husbands was a fairly high - ranking crime figure . after his untimely death , i briefly ran his business . i remember hearing stories about anthony zacchara -- how he killed his wife and pinned it on an unnamed intruder . johnny : where are you going with this ? tracy : your life is saturated with violence . you are the only son of a major crime boss , and you have been groomed to take his place . if you allow things to continue with lulu , it 's only a question of time before she pays the price your mother did . claudia : careful , mr. lansing . if my father even suspected you 're willing to leave john locked up , he 'd have you drawn and quartered . ric : no , no , no , claudia , i am well aware of anthony 's obsession with his son , okay ? it makes sense . john is his chance at immortality , the personification of his power . it really has nothing to do with john at all . it 's all about anthony 's legacy . see , if john were to go away -- if he were to go away to prison , should we say , that chance at immortality , i.e . , his favorite child , would be you . [ scene_break ] anthony : that day camp you 're sending kristina to -- what a nice place . tennis , horseback riding . but does n't it make you nervous to have your kid so near a lake ? alexis : get out . anthony : i mean , kids wander off . they go into the water unsupervised . alexis : leave my daughter alone . anthony : a child can drown in a matter of seconds . alexis : get him out of here ! anthony : you 're a parent . you worry . so do i . ease my worries , i 'll ease yours . [ scene_break ] nikolas : uh , mayor , i think it 's bad politics to look this unhappy when so many people are getting so much help . it might look unsympathetic to the common man , you know . mayor floyd : hmm . i am sorry that you wo n't listen to reason . nikolas : or that i wo n't cave to moneyed interests . mayor floyd : need i remind you that your family 's money has paid for all this ? the cassadines are n't exactly known for kindness and benevolence to their fellow man , now , are they ? nikolas : no , they 're not , but i think it 's time for that to change . mayor floyd : well , good . enjoy those warm and fuzzy feelings while you can . you wo n't be open for long . [ scene_break ] nadine : that man defines what is wrong with the american political system . leyla : yes , and you made a fool of him . i do n't know how you got those patients in here , but i could kiss you . or maybe i 'll just leave that up to nikolas . nadine : why would you say that ? leyla : because you single - handedly kept his dream alive . nadine : right , and i 'm sure he 's grateful . leyla : uh , i think what he feels for you is a little more than grateful . nadine : really ? no . leyla : yeah . nadine : how much more ? leyla : well , i mean -- nadine : no , i -- nikolas : hey , how did you do it ? how did you get those patients in the door ? how did you do it ? nadine : i had some help . [ scene_break ] max : uh , what was that you wanted to talk to the boss about -- i 'm sorry -- mr. c . diane : uh , max , while i 'm always delighted to see you , carly and i are in the middle of a professional discussion to which you can not be privy . max : i 'm sorry ; i did n't realize you were working . i just wanted to say hi to mrs. c. and tell her how sorry i am about michael . and if there 's anything i can do , please let me know . carly : how did you know i was here ? max : jason has guards on you and morgan 24 - 7 . just because the boss is no longer the boss does n't mean you two are safe , and jason just wants to make sure . i 'll leave you two to your business . ms. miller . diane : mr. giambetti . carly : bye , max . max : bye . carly : why did you think max was here to see you ? diane : the vagaries of max 's behavior are beside the point . you may or may not be carrying a little bundle which could be jax 's or sonny 's . that 's going to make for a potentially volatile custody situation . carly : i know that . if sonny turns out to be the father , does he have any paternal rights , since he already signed away michael and morgan ? [ scene_break ] claudia : you 're a smart man , but you have completely misread the situation . ric : really ? how so ? claudia : if my brother were to disappear off the face of the earth tomorrow , i 'd be dead the next day . my father would never low anyone to profit from my brother 's death . john 's all that matters to my dad . he 's all that ever will . that 's the one truth you need to grasp if you 're going to survive -- ric : you do n't think very highly of yourself , do you , ms. zacchara ? where does this all leave you ? claudia : i love my brother . ric : oh , of course . claudia : whatever john inherits , whatever he controls , whatever he runs , i do it with him . ric : right . all for him ? claudia : so i 'll tell you something . it 's a really poor strategy indeed to try to turn me against my brother . ric : you 're missing the point . claudia : yeah , well , so far , i 'm not impressed . [ scene_break ] johnny : i 'm not my father . tracy : not yet . look , you obviously have feelings for lulu . if that 's true , you must know that she 'd be better off away from you . she 'd be safer , not just from the violence , but from the day - to - day chaos that you call your life . lulu ca n't handle it . she 's too fragile . johnny : fragile ? tracy : you must know that lulu 's mother became catatonic because she psychologically could n't handle the stress and the danger . why would you want to put lulu in the same position ? johnny : why do n't you make up your mind ? how exactly is it that i 'm supposed to destroy lulu ? because it seems more to me that you 're just throwing anything against a wall to see what sticks . tracy : maybe that 's my point . there a number of ways it could happen and only one that it wo n't . let her go . guard : you have another visitor . lulu spencer . [ scene_break ] jerry : ah , i was so pleased to hear from you so soon , though i have to admit i thought you 'd make me work harder . alexis : you said that you would keep kristina safe . do you still mean that ? jerry : what 's the matter ? did someone threaten you ? alexis : i just went to pick her up at her day camp . anthony zacchara has someone there watching her . he said that he would hurt her if i do n't get his son released . jerry : do n't worry . i 'm going to fix this . [ scene_break ] nadine : i went into playgrounds , vacant lots , even the projects just handing out flyers , talking to people , telling them what we 're trying to do here . nikolas : okay , but you said you had some help . so , who -- [ door opens ] nadine : oh -- [ chuckling ] nikolas : was it , uh , my brother here ? nadine : um , no offense , but i do n't think anyone would 've talked to me if i was with a cop . nikolas : well , then , who was it ? nadine : um , it 's amazing , the effect this little guy has on people . nikolas : right . so you 're telling me that you went into the projects alone with nothing but wrist ducky there ? nadine : mm - hmm [ chuckling ] lucky : congratulations , big brother . nikolas : thank you . lucky : yeah , i 'm proud of you . emily would be , too . i mean , this is one hell of a tribute . nikolas : yeah , well , that was the idea , you know . and seeing it now just makes me think of how much she would want to be a part of it . makes me miss her even more right now .

[ scene_break ] diane : the fact that sonny signed away michael and morgan has no bearing on his inherent parental rights , and he still has shared custody of kristina . he 's going to have full rights to the baby you 're carrying , if indeed it does prove to be his . carly : i know sonny will pursue this . if he finds out i 'm pregnant , he 'll want a paternity test . diane : okay , the first order of business is to find out if you are actually pregnant . so , if so , my advice is that you tell jax everything and formulate a strategy . carly : i ca n't tell jax anything . it will devastate him . diane : sonny has been my client for a long time now . and i know you 're right . if that baby is his , he 's going to want it . carly : he ca n't have it . diane : yeah . carly : he ca n't have it . i 'm not going to go through what i went through with michael . there 's a way to stop sonny , and i know how to do it .

alexis : what do you got ? mac : i did n't call you . robin : i 'm glad you both are here . patrick and i found evidence . maxie : with help from jackal , p.i . robin : we 're here to report a murder . [ scene_break ] jason : wait , wait , wait . you would actually think about sending michael to live with the quartermaines ? carly : i want him to be safe . and you and sonny both told me that it 's dangerous at his place . i 'd like for michael to live here with me , but he does n't want to , and if no one 's going to back me , the quartermaines are my only option . [ scene_break ] michael : i got shot when you tried to get out of the business . sonny : no . you got shot when my enemies were trying to kill me , michael , and you got caught in the crossfire . michael : so teach me the business . show me how to defend myself . sonny : you 're not even listening to a word i 'm telling you ! i will never risk your life again . michael : i just proved myself last night , that i can do whatever it takes . sonny : listen -- no . i 'm your father ; i tell you how to handle things . you do n't tell me . michael : dad , you 've gotten everything -- sonny : no . michael : you 've wanted . sonny : i do n't want to hear it . michael : no , no , a family -- sonny : i do n't want to hear it . michael : a family , power , position . i just want to be like you . sonny : listen to me ! you will never be like me .

[ scene_break ] mac : does this have anything to do with why you and spinelli broke into the mayor 's office ? alexis : oh , whoa . do n't think you should be having that conversation in front of me . spinelli : if i might elaborate . mac : i 'm going to regret this . go on , spinelli . spinelli : oh , okay . the philandering mayor and his sexually obliging secretary were partners in a series of clandestine assignations that culminated in the regrettable injury and subsequent demise -- mac : do you think you can finish this before dinnertime ? spinelli : okay , there are -- there are mitigating circumstances that make the mayor 's involvement increasingly suspect . maxie : like the fact that the mayor fled from the scene of the crime ? spinelli : maximista is correct . and newly revealed bank account transactions that are highly suspicious , not to mention the mayor 's own surreptitious demeanor , all leading the jackal to question whether we can trust the verity of any statement made by the maritally - impaired mayor . mac : look , all you 're telling me , i think , is that the mayor was sleeping with brianna hughes and is trying to cover his guilt . this is old news . patrick : actually , mac , we went over the autopsy report and this , well , it shows a different version than what the mayor said . brianna did die from a bump to the head but not just a single bump as we originally thought . matt is being accused of mishandling the surgery . this points to something different . mac : you 're trying to protect your brother . and you do n't talk in complete sentences . robin , tell me what 's going on . [ scene_break ] claudia : who the hell are you ? dominic : look , lady , i just want to get out of here . i talked the kid into helping me . can we skip the explanations and just get on with it ? claudia : no , how about if i call my husband and the guards instead ? kristina : do n't , please , i 'm not supposed to be here . claudia : kristina , your father has to know about this . kristina : if my mom and dad find out , i 'll be grounded for life . claudia : i know , look , that 's not really my problem . kristina : please , seriously , just let me sneak out and avoid all the drama . claudia : okay . kristina : thank you so much . claudia : i 'll walk you out . i 'll be back to deal with you . kristina : thanks again for being so cool about this . [ scene_break ] jason : living with you would be the best thing for michael . carly : great , then tell him that . jason : but it would not be the best thing for you . you 're at risk . you ca n't be under stress , carly . carly : i would n't be under stress . jason : you would n't be ? michael fights with you all the time . carly : it 's not all the time , okay , and yeah , when it does happen , it hurts , but it 's not like he 's going to cause me to have a stroke or anything . jason : i do n't think a doctor would actually agree with that . but you know what , it does n't matter , because michael 's not going to listen to me , anyway . carly : he will listen to you . he trusts you more than he trusts anyone . jason : no , no . michael wants to go to work for sonny . he actually asked me to teach him this business . carly : why the hell did n't you tell me that ? jason : i 'm telling you that . right now . michael said that he helped save you from some guy running through the woods . carly : yeah , yeah , he did , but so what ? he 's not going to work for sonny . jason : i already told him that . carly : i do n't want him being a part of the business at all , jason . jason : i know , carly . i told him that i 'm not going to let it happen . but now he thinks that i 'm a hypocrite and anything that i suggest to him , he 's going to do the exact opposite . [ scene_break ] sonny : okay . when i -- i got in the mob because i was too young to know better . michael : and now you 're going to say you regret it ? sonny : i was desperate to get out of the life that i had , and i had an opportunity to work for a local mob boss , and i took it . now , you have different opportunities . you can go to college . you can do anything you want . michael : no , i choose this . sonny : this , this -- this mob violence took a year out of your life . i 'm not going to let that happen again . michael : is that what this is about ? is it ? you do n't want me to work for you because you 're ashamed of me . sonny : why would you even say that ? you 've been to hell and back . i 'm proud of you . michael : bull . you do n't want me in your business because you think that that bullet , which gave me brain damage , made me a retard . [ scene_break ] robin : okay , there 's a discrepancy between mayor floyd 's story and brianna 's injuries . the autopsy suggests that there were two blows to the head , both in the exact same place . mac : i 'd say that 's beyond coincidence . robin : well , we 're thinking the second blow was the fatal one . maxie : do n't forget about the bank account . spinelli hacked into brianna 's checking account , and -- spinelli : maximista , there 's no need to belabor the details of the jackal 's methodology . mac : for once , spinelli and i agree . robin : basically , mayor floyd was giving brianna a lot of money . mac : how much ? robin : $ 100,000 over the last three months . mac : that 's quite a sum . alexis : well , it 's not unusual for a cheating husband to give money to his girlfriend . mac : it 's classic . brianna hughes was blackmailing mayor floyd , and he struck a blow that led to her death . he 's trying to make it look like an accident . spinelli : the commissioner is only partially correct . mac : what do you mean ? spinelli : well , brianna hughes was undoubtedly murdered , but it was not the philandering mayor himself who sent her to her death . alexis : then who did ? [ scene_break ] carly : must have been pretty hard to find yourself fighting with michael , huh ? jason : yeah , i 'm just sorry that i could n't get through to him . carly : michael loves you . it 's just a matter of time before he 's over it and he trusts you again . jason : the point is , i 'm not going to be able to talk him into moving back in here with you and jax . carly : he 's afraid that he is going to do something that upsets me and morgan , that he 's going to lose his temper . that 's why he wo n't move back in here . he 's scared he 's going to hurt us . jason : i know that he wants to stay with sonny . carly : it 's too dangerous . jason : i know it is . carly : it 's too dangerous , and i ca n't stand the proximity to claudia . that leaves the quartermaines . jason : i did n't think you were serious about that . carly : i was n't . i was just trying to push you into talking michael into coming back here . but no -- hell . it looks like the quartermaines are our only solution . [ scene_break ] claudia : let me call you a cab , okay ? kristina : it 's okay . i 'll find my own way home . claudia : no , no , i need to ask you a question . why did you come here when your mother forbid it ? kristina : i came to see michael . it should n't be such a drama , but it is with my mom . claudia : she 's pretty strict , huh ? claudia : do you think ? i 'm supposed to be perfect in every way . responsible citizen , student leader , brilliant achiever . absolutely nothing can jeopardize my golden future . claudia : sounds like pressure . kristina : of course , everything about my dad is off limits . his house , his business , you , and now , even michael . not that dad 's tripping over himself to see me , anyhow . claudia : i 'm going to cover for you this time . but you ca n't come back here unless he asks you . kristina : trust me . this was way more trouble than it was worth . [ scene_break ] johnny : easy , quick draw . dominic : this place is like grand central station . johnny : yeah , come on , we got to get you out of here . dominic : yeah , you know , everyone keeps saying that to me . you should have killed me when you had the chance , not for lack of trying . johnny : yeah , well , i was fighting for my life . dominic : and jason morgan , too . johnny : if jason morgan ended up dead , sonny would have killed me , too . i was saving my own ass . dominic : more siding with corinthos . johnny : i work for corinthos . i got to play this right , and so do you . so why do n't you just be happy you 're alive , cash in your chips , and get out of this town ? dominic : now why would i do that when this is the land of opportunity ? [ scene_break ] michael : you 're ashamed of me . you think that if i worked with you , that i 'd screw up ? sonny : that 's not true . that 's not true . it 's the opposite of that , actually . michael : i 'm not your biological son . sonny : biological means spit . you are my son in every way that it counts , and i love you , michael . i 've loved you since the minute you came into my life . michael : but morgan 's your child . he 's perfect . he does everything right . sonny : nobody 's perfect . no one is you . but you know what ? you -- you are a terrific , amazing young man . michael : yeah , real amazing . the way i fight with everybody , piss everybody off . you do n't want me around . sonny : michael , listen to me . hey , come here . come here . sonny : you are a lot like me , and you are the best part of me . you are strong . you 're loyal , determined . you -- you know , you stand up for what you believe . you fight for the people you care about including yourself . you woke up from a coma . do you understand what a miracle that is , what strength it took to do that ? your mother and i , we 've never been more proud of you , son . michael : so have faith in me , dad . sonny : i -- hey , hey , hey . i have faith in you . the only redeeming thing about my business -- you know what it is ? that i can give you the opportunities that i never had . but now you got your whole life ahead of you . make the best of it . you can have whatever you want . michael : no , i can have whatever you want for me . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the philandering mayor can not possibly have been the culprit who struck the fatal blow to brianna hughes . robin : then who do you suspect ? spinelli : well , i have no ultimate suspect at present , but the p.i . handbook expressly states that the first suspect is seldom guilty . mac : the p.i . handbook ? look , we 've got evidence . plus , patrick and robin 's analysis of the autopsy . that 's plenty to issue a warrant for the mayor 's arrest . alexis : well , i think it would be wise to have s.i.d . look over the evidence first . mac : i 'm surprised you 're not eager to move on this . alexis : well , i just do n't want to act prematurely . mac : you 're not afraid of the political pressure , are you ? alexis : brianna hughes was murdered . without the second blow to the head , she would n't have died . the mayor 's been caught in yet another lie , and while that , in itself , does not make him a murderer , it 's a start . so i will go to the judge and get the warrant issued immediately .

[ scene_break ] michael : hey , i got your text . why did n't you leave when claudia walked you out ? kristina : i had to make sure you survived mom 's third degree . michael : yeah , alexis must be great in a courtroom because she did this whole speech about what a wonderful person you are to want to help me out -- kristina : well , that part 's true . michael : yeah , i ca n't tell you how grateful i am . kristina : what was her closing argument ? michael : i 'm under orders to stay away from you . kristina : great . mother thinks she 's getting her way , and i 'll still come visit you anytime you want . anytime i want . michael : yeah , i 'm not exactly sure how long i 'm going to be living here . dad and i just got in the monster of all fights . kristina : not possible . you 're dad 's favorite . michael : not since i told him i wanted to learn the business . he told me , when hell freezes over , and it 's his way or no way at all . kristina : well , truth is , dad ca n't be bothered . why worry about you getting hurt again when he can send you to some private school and forget about you ? michael : you do n't know dad as well as i do . kristina : only because i never see him . i probably do n't even cross his mind . michael : look , i 'm not trying to defend dad , but alexis basically laid down the law that he ca n't see you , right ? kristina : all my life i 've heard sonny corinthos gets what he wants . so if dad really wanted to see me , he 'd find a way . michael : it 's different with his kids . he 's trying to keep us safe . kristina : i know you admire him , but kids have always been low on dad 's list of priorities . just wait . he 'll end up dumping you off on your mom like he dumped me off on mine .

[ pills rattling ] [ scene_break ] sam : you said todd was looking for a fresh start , right ? spinelli : he was acquitted of his brother 's murder by reason of temporary insanity . but the admission that he was , in fact , the killer ? that was enough to make him a pariah in llanview . sam : okay , so he relocates himself to port charles , he buys a newspaper so he can control everything that 's written about him . spinelli : yeah , it 's a stroke of genius , really , to use the very medium that destroyed his reputation to resurrect him from the ashes , as it were . sam : nothing like a little bit of positive press to change the way that people think about you , until , of course , you hire a former mental patient . spinelli : yeah , mr. manning invested a considerable sum in the parent company luxcorp . why would he jeopardize his new acquisition ? sam : i told you , the only thing that makes sense is heather is trying to blackmail him . it 's the way she operates . spinelli : yeah , i mean , you 've been the victim of her blackmails . sam : yes , i have . when heather found out that franco was possibly the baby 's father , she was threatening to tell jason before i had the chance to . spinelli : again , what did she want in return for her silence ? sam : mine . she did n't want me to tell her precious steven lars that she had sold another baby . spinelli : right . and you kept her secret . sam : it makes me wonder what secrets heather is keeping for todd .

[ both chuckle ] duke : so , are you two here for brunch or also to gawk at the crime scene ? mac : actually , we 're trying to track the two of you down . and if you 're not too busy , we have something very important to ask . [ scene_break ] sabrina : okay . okay . i 'm serious . patrick : so am i . sabrina : no . it 's a big day . we got to go to the hospital and get the paternity test for britt 's baby . patrick : there goes that . [ sighs ] but you 're right . it is a big day . it 's the day i find out if britt 's lying to me ... or not . [ scene_break ] felix : hmm . i hope sabrina and patrick know they have you to thank for these sex marathons . i mean , after all , if you had n't stood between them for so long , they would n't feel the need to make up for lost time . britt : all i know is i have you to thank for not wanting breakfast anymore . felix : oh . you must eat for the baby ... whosever it is . britt : what 's that ? felix : i said , `` i 'll make you breakfast . `` it 's the least i could do . because of you , i have the couch to myself these days . britt : yeah , and from what i can see , you 're used to sleeping alone . felix : [ sighs ] it 's the one thing you and i seem to have in common . yep , sabrina 's one happy woman . patrick has put a spring in her step and roses in her cheeks . britt : well , it does n't hurt that she 's finally discovered high - tech items such as contact lenses and a comb . felix : [ chuckles ] yeah , uh , did n't patrick tell you ? probably not , because he ca n't stand to speak with you , but the night of the nurses ' ball -- you remember that , right ? patrick sought out sabrina before he saw the beautiful transformation . yeah , he loves her with or without the specs and the miracle i performed on her hair . credit where it 's due . britt : i 'm sure you did the best you could with the material you were given . felix : yeah , and girlfriend is reaping the rewards . ascending mount drake vigorously and often has done her a world of good . oh , i do n't mean to rub it in . i mean , after all , you only got to slap those crampons on once . britt : one time `` climbing mount drake , `` as you so elegantly put it , was all it took to get me pregnant . so , your nerdy , little sherpa can climb that mountain as much as she wants now . before long , she 's gon na disappear into thin air , because i 'm the one having patrick 's child . felix : i guess we 're gon na find out if that 's true , are n't we ? britt : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? [ scene_break ] duke : well , this is certainly a lot of intrigue for a simple question . i ca n't imagine what it is you 're gon na ask me . mac : well , i was hoping , um , you would do me the honor of being my best man . [ scene_break ] felicia : do you want to be my maid of honor ? [ scene_break ] laura : lucy , i was saying hello . i have n't seen him in weeks . laura : weeks . weeks you have just spent on your honeymoon with your new husband , my ex - husband , who used to be your ex - husband . so , why the heck did you feel the need to go say hello to your other ex - husband ? laura : well , because we have children together , not unlike you and scotty , and we were talking about our daughter . lucy : well , i guess lulu was recently traumatized , so that could be okay . are you absolutely sure that 's all it was ? laura : yes . i love scotty . i 'm going to spend the rest of my life with him . i know that you are really protective of scotty -- i get that -- but believe me when i say you have nothing to worry about with me . lucy : okay . good . that is such a relief , because i want absolutely nothing to interfere with us bringing back deception . i 'm so excited . i have so many ideas . laura : but wait . wait . this is the thing that i wanted to talk to you about , okay ? i - i have given our plan an awful lot of thought , and i think that -- i 'm -- i 'm not so sure that it 's gon na work . lucy : [ inhales deeply ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : i 'm sorry if i upset you earlier . maxie : you did n't . spinelli : i think i did . maxie : well , you are wrong . spinelli : maxie , when i came in , you were ... you were swaying and cooing sweetly with the baby , but after i spoke , you became snappish with me and were -- you were downright mean to mac . maxie : well , he 'll get over it , and so should you . spinelli : look , i just want to say that i understand how difficult this must be . this baby started as a favor to two beloved friends , but now it 's no longer just an idea . i mean , he or she is a child that you feel growing , moving inside of you . i mean , you 've -- you 've identified which music they respond to . every day , the child becomes more and more real , as does the fact that in three short months , you 'll have to hand that child over to dante and lulu . [ scene_break ] dante : between your parents and my parents and our families and friends , we 're gon na get everything the baby needs . we 're gon na get stuff the baby does n't need . lulu : okay , yeah . no , that 's ... [ sighs ] yeah , that 's probably true . dante : okay , so just relax and wait for your baby shower . i guarantee you you 're gon na get so much stuff , we 're not gon na have enough room for it in the apartment . lulu : well , yeah . you know , about that -- maybe we should consider moving . dante : you want to move ? well , i do n't know if we should add house - hunting to the stressful list -- lulu : i do n't want to miss out on the perfect place just because we 're not paying attention . do n't you think our baby deserves a nursery ? dante : i do n't think the baby 's gon na care . and if the baby gets here , and we 're too crowded , we can think about moving then . we do n't have to worry about that right this second . lulu : i just want to do something , okay ? i want to contribute . i feel like maxie is doing everything , and it 's not even her baby . [ scene_break ] britt : what did you mean just now ? felix : nothing i have n't said before . i just think the likelihood of you carrying patrick drake 's baby is slightly higher than the likelihood of me carrying milo 's . britt : but that 's not what you said . felix : yeah , it is . look , i 'm gon na take a shower . britt : stop right there . you just said that , `` we 'll find out if it 's true . `` how do you plan on doing that when i have n't agreed to a paternity test ? felix : that 's right . you have n't , which means there is n't gon na be a paternity test . end of subject . britt : oh , my god . they 're -- they 're running a paternity test behind my back , are n't they ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : do you still feel uncomfortable about having ellie run the paternity test behind britt 's back ? patrick : i 'm not happy about the way we had to do it , but ... [ sighs ] ... i think you 're right . britt did n't really give us another choice , and if she is lying , which is definitely in her wheelhouse , i need to know . sabrina : you know , the fact that she refused to even allow a paternity test in the first place is kind of suspicious , do n't you think ? i mean , if the baby really is yours , then would n't she welcome a test ? i mean , get the rest of us off her back . patrick : if the baby is n't mine , i need to know , so she can stop stringing me along . sabrina : well , at least , this way , she ca n't tamper with the test results , 'cause she 's got no idea the test is even happening . [ scene_break ] felix : wow . paranoid much ? britt : it 's not paranoia if people are really conspiring behind your back . felix : `` conspiring `` ? will you listen to yourself ? as if dr. drake and sabrina have nothing better to do than run a paternity test behind your back . britt : all they need for a prenatal paternity screen is a sample of patrick 's dna and a blood sample from me , which we know they have in the hospital lab right now . felix : yes , in the lab run by your toady , brad . by the way , everybody knows you got him that job . britt : brad is very capable technician . felix : oh , clearly . he can make the tests say whatever you want . he makes it look like you have hyperemesis gravidarum . i 'm sure he can manipulate the results to say that your baby - daddy is mick jagger . brad is your faithful dragon , there to protect his evil queen . there 's no way he would let anybody run a paternity test behind your back . britt : okay , maybe brad would n't , but that redheaded fish girl would . felix : okay , first of all , her name is ellie trout . secondly , that 's insane . even if she wanted to , she could n't test your blood and take a paternity analysis without your permission . britt : okay , not legally and not ethically , but she can do it . felix : okay , seriously . are we gon na have an ethics smackdown here ? britt : why would we ? all i have to do is go down to the lab and grill ellie until she tells me the truth . now move out of my way , or i 'll mow you down . [ scene_break ] tracy : ellie . luke spencer . now spit it out . ellie : mr. spencer , are you sure you do n't want your doctor present ? luke : no , we do n't have time for that . just tell me , please . what did that old crone put in my system ? tracy : and what do we do to keep it from killing him ? luke : polonium 210 . ellie : yes . polonium is a chemical element that has 32 known isotopes . now , as an element , it 's very rare , but the 210 isotope is the most widely available , and it 's extremely ... radioactive . luke : how extreme ? ellie : well , to give you some perspective , in the u.s. , polonium was introduced as part of the manhattan project . tracy : the manhattan project ? it was used as -- for a ... ellie : yeah . in fact , it was a critical part of the weapon design that was used in the `` fat man `` atomic bomb which was dropped in nagasaki . luke : the old bitch nuked me ? so , what -- i 'm gon na start glowing in the dark ? i 'm gon na fall out of bed one night , and bam -- there goes the whole eastern seaboard ? ellie : neither . but your condition is very serious . fortunately , your dosage was infinitesimal , and it was delivered very slowly and gradually , but the radioactive properties in the element are highly toxic . lethal radiation poisoning is , um -- it 's virtually inevitable . i 'm so sorry . luke : yeah . tracy : we do n't have time for `` sorry . `` j - just tell us what we do about it . ellie : well , dr. beckett can tell you that . tracy : no , i do n't want dr. beckett to tell me . i want you to tell me ! ellie : um , well , there is one protocol that some feel can be used to decontaminate polonium - poisoning victims . it 's called chelation therapy . now , it is quite controversial , and of course , there 's no guarantee for its success . tracy : okay , so , let 's get a hold of dr. beckett and tell him you want to start chelation therapy right away . luke : no , i 'm not going to do that . [ scene_break ] lucy : i do not understand . we talked , we toasted , and we agreed we were taking deception to new heights . laura : i know , and it 's just that -- lucy : wait a minute . you said it was perfect . you said , `` it 's great , `` remember ? because we both had run the company , and it was ripe for reinvention , and that we both had deception in our blood . i mean , you did n't have it , but i had it . so why the heck are you backing out now ? laura : i 'm not . i 'm not backing out at all . lucy : okay , then what did you just ... say , and why are you scaring me to death , and what on earth is going on ? laura : lucy , all i 'm trying to say is i have a different vision of what deception could be . [ scene_break ] duke : i must say i am , uh -- i 'm very surprised , and i 'm flattered , but , uh , what about mr. marbles ? is he otherwise engaged ? mac : [ chuckles ] no , he 'll be there . he 's performing the ceremony . duke : [ chuckles ] mac : seriously , duke , um ... look , i really was hoping you would be the one to stand by me when i marry felicia . you know , when frisco was putting on his full - court press to get her back , you advised me . you felt my pain . it 's only fitting . so , will you do it ? [ scene_break ] anna : your maid of honor ? really ? you want -- gosh , i 'm touched . felicia : you seem surprised . anna : i am . i am , a bit . felicia : well , i love you , anna . we 've known each other forever . we 've been through so much together . anna : i know . felicia : and just as importantly , you were the one that helped me see that mac is the one for me -- not frisco . anna : i tried to be impartial , but i do approve of your choice , i 've got to say . [ chuckles ] felicia : well , you guided me , and you supported me , and i would just absolutely love it if you stood by my side when i marry mac . anna : what about maxie ? [ scene_break ] maxie : of course , i 'm giving this baby to dante and lulu . that 's part of the surrogacy process . spinelli : well , no . i know . and i -- and i know how much you want to give dante and lulu this child . i mean , look at the lengths you went to after you miscarried the first embryo -- convincing dr. westbourne to implant you with one of dante and lulu 's remaining embryos and being so concerned for their happiness that you did it behind their back so as to not cause them pain , and at first , i had a problem with that subterfuge , but i ... i understand . it just -- it demonstrates how much you want dante and lulu to have this child and the lengths that you would go to make good on that commitment . maxie : [ sighing ] spinelli , what 's your point ? spinelli : my point is , maxie ... [ sighs ] ... i care about you , and -- and i worry about you , and now , what i worry most about is that ... you 're falling in love with this child . i mean , not that i blame you . if -- if i were in your position , i 'm ... i 'm positive i 'd feel the same way . [ scene_break ] dante : look , i know how strange this must be for you . you 're gon na be a mother , and someone else is carrying this baby . after all this time , i 'm still weirded out by it . i mean , we get to go with maxie to these appointments like we 're doing today , but she 's the one who takes all the prenatal vitamins and wears all the maternity clothes , and she 's the one who gets fussed over . lulu : [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] i am jealous of her stretch marks and her swollen ankles and her weight gain . [ chuckles ] [ sniffles ] i just try to imagine , you know , what ... what it would feel like to be able to feel the baby moving around . i love maxie , and i -- i 'm so grateful for what she 's doing for us , but i hate that i 'm not the one carrying this baby . dante : hey . hey , hey . you know what ? she 's gon na be this baby 's mother for another , like , two , three months , and then when little rocco or juliet arrives , you get to tag her out , and you step in -- lulu : [ chuckling ] okay , we really need to stop calling the baby `` rocco `` or `` juliet . `` dante : why ? lulu : 'cause the name might stick . dante : would that be so bad ? lulu : i wa -- well , someday , he or she is going to ask me , `` mommy , why is this my name ? `` and i do n't want to have to tell them that , `` it was really just a placeholder , you know , and it stuck , so ... `` [ chuckles ] dante : you bring up an excellent point . you 're right . our child is gon na ask that question one day , and it 's gon na ask you that question , because you 're the mom , and you 're gon na be our baby 's mom its whole life . lulu : i know . dante : so , let 's not worry about gliders and onesies and ... new apartments , okay ? we 're gon na be ready when this baby comes . i mean , as ready as two people can be for something that is gon na change our lives in huge and amazing ways that we ca n't even imagine yet . lulu : have i mentioned that i love you ? dante : you have , but , i mean , you can say it again if you want . i 'm okay with that . lulu : i love you . dante : i love you , too . lulu : [ chuckles ] mm . [ scene_break ] felix : you ca n't go anywhere . you 're on bed rest . i ca n't , in good conscience , let you roll out that door . britt : well , then i 'll just have to call the police and tell them that you 're keeping a disabled pregnant woman prisoner in your apartment . felix : i 'm not . your doctor is . i 'm just following orders . britt : well , let 's see what the police say about that , shall we ? now , what is that number again ? oh , yes , yes . 9 ... 1 ... felix : okay , fine . go . put dr. drake 's baby in jeopardy . see if i care . britt : well , my baby and i will be just fine , but your nerd posse , on the other hand , i ca n't speak for . now , as a great philosopher and poet once said , `` move , bitch , get out the way . `` felix : fine . try to find a taxi that 'll take you and your damned wheelchair . you 'll never make it to the lab in time . britt : watch me .

[ scene_break ] laura : lucy , if this is going to work , we have to be honest with each other about our expectations . lucy : right . honesty . of cour -- it 's so important . okay , so , could you just honestly , please , tell me what is this `` different vision `` ? laura : okay , i do n't want to just run a cosmetics company . you know , peddling makeup is n't what i want to do with my life anymore . lucy : what do you have against beauty ? laura : nothing . nothing . i 'm very pro - beauty . it 's just that i got to thinking after we spoke , and it made me think about my own journey back to wellness , you know ? i needed more than a drug protocol to treat my symptoms . i needed to feel well inside myself , you know ? that 's where wellness comes from -- from within . and that 's where real beauty comes from . you know , the kind that radiates from the inside out . lucy : hmm . so , um , what , exactly , are you saying ? laura : i 'm saying that i think we need to think bigger . we can answer a bigger need . [ scene_break ] spinelli : apologies . my concern for you got the better of me . your feelings about this baby are your own . it 's really none of my business . maxie : no , it is your business . i mean ...

[ scene_break ] nina : uh , so miss ... ava : demuccio . nina : demuccio . okay . um , so , miss demuccio , um ... are you or are you not dating franco ? carly : gon na say , it would n't surprise me . kiki : [ scoffs ] it 's surprising me . carly : oh , come on . maybe denise is franco 's type . you know , that sick bond he had with your mother ran pretty deep . for a while there , everyone thought franco was your father . kiki : yes , but my mother knew franco for years . she just came to town . i mean , as far as i know , you -- you have n't even met franco . nina : uh , well , there 's an explanation for that . you see , franco is lying yet again . kiki : why would he do that ? ava : oh , why would he do that ? i 'll -- i 'll tell you . i 'll tell you . because he 's spinning this insane , preposterous lie because he 's jealous of me and -- and ric and everything we are to each other . and , um , you know , that 's why he made it up . franco : i did not . i did -- i did not make it up . nina : yes , you did . is it -- okay , well , there 's one way to find out . i 'll just ask your newest paramour . so , are you and franco , are -- are you really an item ? [ scene_break ] morgan : i really care about kiki , dad . last thing i want to do is hurt her , you know ? sonny : then do n't . morgan : [ sighs ] it 's just , like , when i 'm around denise , like , there 's this thing that happens , and ... sonny : you know what that thing is . that thing is -- is called attraction , and just because you feel it , does n't mean you have to act on it . morgan : but i 'm not just the one that feels it . she feels it , too . sonny : oh , is that what denise told you ? morgan : [ sighs ] she does n't want to hurt kiki any more than -- than i do , dad , but when i am around her -- sonny : when you are around her , what ? morgan : oh , whatever . okay . it -- it does n't really matter because the only way this is gon na stop is if i stay away from denise , even though , you know , kiki wants to be around her every second we have free time . sonny : you are better off with kiki . denise is trouble . morgan : why ? 'cause she looks like ava , is that why ? sonny : i do n't care if she looks like sofia vergara . denise is trouble . morgan : all right . all right , well , i appreciate the advice , dad . sonny : listen to me . you know all i care about for you is -- is your happiness , right ? morgan : yeah , i know . all right . [ scene_break ] michael : give aj back ? sabrina : i know . it 's a drastic step . michael : yeah , you think ? sabrina : but you admitted that you 're original motive for taking aj was so that you could hurt sonny . michael , this is n't the first time you 've talked about missing your family . look , returning aj might be the way to move past all the hurt and the anger on both sides and start rebuilding . michael : okay , what am i supposed to say ? that -- that i was wrong about my sister being safe with me ? i 'm not wrong . sabrina : i know . michael : and you know what , and i - i admit , my -- my original motive was to punish sonny , to take someone away from him like he took someone away from me . but , you know what ? i - i love aj , and she 's safe with me . sabrina : i do n't disagree . michael : and if sonny was the loving , caring father that he claims to be , then he 'd want that for her . he 'd want her to have a better life than me or any of my siblings ever had . sabrina : look , i do n't know anything about sonny , okay ? but i have watched you fight with yourself -- the part of you that wants to forgive against the part of you that just wants revenge , and you know what ? you can not go on being torn in two . you have to make a choice . michael : and you think i should choose to give aj back . [ scene_break ] dante : is leslie around ? i 'd like to say hi to her . lulu : actually , she 's sleeping . dante : that 's right . that 's right , 'cause you 're , uh ... you 're in italy and the time change . it 's late over there . yeah . [ sighs ] you must be , uh , ready for bed , too , huh ? lulu : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's a really good idea . dante : hey , baby , when you coming back ? lulu : i 'm not sure exactly . hopefully , soon . dante : yeah , i hope so , too . lulu : i love you . dante : yeah , me , too . lulu : i hate this ! i just lied to dante again . dillon : you did what you had to do . lulu : did i ? because part of me thinks i should have just told him the truth and asked him to trust me . instead , i 've given him every reason not to . dillon : how would that conversation go ? `` hey , honey , my brother 's being held hostage . my none - too - stable parents are going after him , and i 'm going after them . be back soon . `` what would have happened ? lulu : he would have tried to come along . dillon : and since the kidnapper said no cops , that could have gotten your brother killed . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] valerie : dante . what was that ? are you all right ? dante : i do n't know . see for yourself . what does it look like ? well , that was productive . way to take positive action . [ sighs ] at least i did n't wake rocco . the last thing i want to do is affect him with this whole thing . of course , he 's gon na be affected . what the hell is his mother thinking right now ? valerie : you think that lulu is n't visiting her grandmother ? dante : no , she 's not . she called me to tell me she was going to italy , and i checked up on it . lulu and dillon took a flight to vancouver . they used dillon 's credit card to check into a hotel , where they 're sharing a room together . [ scene_break ] dillon : we 're making progress . lulu : [ scoffs ] yeah , right . there 's nothing like lying to your husband to create a sense of forward momentum . dillon : [ sighs ] okay , we 're not gon na hang out in the lobby , where the kidnappers could potentially spot us . we can use this room as a base of operations . i say we find out if your parents are staying in the same hotel as us . lulu : maybe we should n't have come . dillon : too late . we 're here . and since we know lucky 's in trouble and there 's an excellent chance your parents are , too , i say we find a way to help them . lulu : you were always good at that . dillon : risk , adventure , daring ? lulu : that , too . but i was referring to how you keep my head on straight . you stop me from spiraling into a drama of my own making . dillon : own making ? you -- you did n't ask for your brother to be kidnapped . or for your parents to go chasing after him . lulu : maybe so . but i seriously could n't do this without you . so thank you . dillon : you can thank me later , when we find lucky . now , let 's get to work . [ scene_break ] sonny : good to see you , tj . tj : hey , mr. corinthos . sonny : well , how do you -- how do you like ... your new digs ? tj : the place is amazing , and i really appreciate you letting me stay here . but , uh , are you sure about this ? sonny : guess what , philly . tj 's moving in . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sabrina : this is n't about me . i 'm not advocating one decision or the other . michael : you sure about that ? because you seem pretty certain . sabrina : look , all i want is for you to make the decision that is right for you . michael : even if it 's not best for aj ? sabrina : in the long run , are n't they the same thing ? babies are intuitive . if you 're not happy , she 's gon na sense that . michael : i just ... i hate not knowing if she 's okay , even if she is . 'cause right now , even if i 'm not with her , i - i know that she 's with you . sabrina : taking care of aj has been an amazing experience for me . every day , i wake up and i know that there 's this little person who 's completely dependent on me to give her what she needs , and i 'm so happy to do it . it just gives me such a feeling of peace . i do n't ... i just , i do n't know how to describe it . michael : i get it . i can see it . sabrina : i 'd like to think that by taking care of aj , that somehow i 'm making up for what i did to ava , and wherever ava is now ... i hope she knows that . [ scene_break ] nina : denise -- c - can i call you denise ? ava : sure . nina : can you just confirm what we all know -- that -- that franco is just a huge liar . ava : no , i ca n't . because franco here is telling the absolute truth ? kiki : he is ? nina : no , he 's not . ava : he is . what are you waiting for , handsome ? give me some sugar . [ ava & franco kiss ] [ scene_break ] madeline : the way i see it ... [ chuckles ] we can be great partners in more ways than one . not only can we both get our hands on that money , but ... we can leave each other satisfied as well . what do you say ? ric : so , uh , this ... this plan you 're proposing , it 's -- madeline : mm - hmm . ric : it 's tempting , but -- madeline : what ? what 's stopping you . ric : well , my wife is downstairs in the restaurant waiting for me . madeline : [ gasps ] we 'd better hurry , then .

[ chuckles ] franco here and i , we just happened to bump into each other , and we realized that we had ava in common , and uh , well , we just ... kind of hit it off , and what can i say ? one thing led to another and , uh ... the rest is history . is n't that right ? [ scene_break ] sonny : make yourself at home . philly , do me a favor . could you take that up ? philly : where would you like me to put them ? sonny : last bedroom at the end of the hall . philly : michael 's old room ? sonny : uh , that 's -- i think that 's what i said . philly : got it , boss . sonny : all right . that 's great . [ scene_break ] michael : well , if i give aj back , you 'd be out of a job , and that 's not fair . sabrina : [ chuckling ] michael . i should n't factor into this decision at all . as much as i love being around aj , i 'm not her mother . michael : and i 'm not her father . that 's what you were saying , is n't it ? sabrina : do you think that it would benefit aj to have her father in her life ? michael : when her father 's a gangster and people around him get shot ? i do n't know . i - i really do n't . i - i loved growing up with sonny . maybe aj would , too . and you know what ? maybe giving her back ... would be the best thing , despite the danger . it would certainly make peace in the family . sabrina : is n't peace what 's better for everyone ? michael : yeah , but , me -- me giving sonny back his daughter is n't ... i 'm also sending a message that it was okay that he killed my father -- that a few months in prison and a slap on the wrist is enough to balance the scales , but it 's not . what sonny did was wrong . it feels wrong for me just to let it go . [ scene_break ] dante : i feel like i 'm in the twilight zone right now . i followed my wife around . she 's going to the quartermaine house , where dillon greets her wearing a towel . she calls me to tell me she 's going to italy . i find out she 's actually shacked up in a hotel room in canada with dillon . valerie : back up . did you just say the quartermaine place ? that 's like a mansion , right ? dante : yeah , why ? so what ? valerie : so it 's not like dillon was just lounging around his one - bedroom bachelor pad . maybe he just happened to be the only person near the door . dante : yeah , maybe . maybe , i do n't know . maybe . maybe . that still does n't explain why they took off together . valerie : yeah . i 'm sorry , i - i do n't know what to tell you there . dante : what is there to say , really ? [ chuckles ] thank you . valerie : for what ? dante : checking up on me . hey , you know what ? would you mind watching rocco for a little bit ? valerie : why ? where are you going ? dante : i 'm gon na go confront my wife . [ scene_break ] lulu : i just have to get into the guest database and see if any of the names jump out at me . dillon : when did you become a hacker ? lulu : [ chuckles ] i do n't want to brag , but spinelli may have taught me a few tricks . dillon : [ sighs ] i know he 's known as the jackal and the assassin of the internet , but i still think of him as the other guy who loved georgie . lulu : i had forgotten about that . dillon : it was a long time ago , but i still really miss her . lulu : me , too . i still feel terrible about trying to come between you two . dillon : please . bygones . we 've both come so far since then . lulu : bingo . lucy and lloyd johnson . dillon : who ? lulu : these are the aliases that my parents used when they were on the run in beecher 's corners . dillon : they 're using them again ? lulu : in this very hotel . i have a room number . dillon : great . when do we invade ? lulu : no time like the present . oh ! okay , that ca n't be good . dillon : search the room or back off and wait to hear from them ? lulu : they could be in trouble . we have to do something . dillon : okay . stay behind me . lulu : what is going on ? laura : freeze ! luke : freeze ! laura : lulu ? what are you doing here ? luke : i told you to stay in port charles . dillon : how well would that have worked if you were the ones sitting on your hands while the rest of your family was in danger ? lulu was just following your example , luke . lulu : the last time i talked to mom , it sounded like something was really wrong . luke : well , we ran into some old baggage . dillon : what kind of baggage ? luke : ah , you do n't want to know . laura : yeah , you really do n't . but , anyway , uh , she told us what she knew , and she told us to wait for further contact . lulu : and there has n't been any ? laura : no , nothing . we 're in limbo . lulu : okay . so how can we help ? luke : get the hell out ! [ scene_break ] valerie : what are you saying ? you 're not gon na go all the way out to british columbia . dante : why not ? sure i am . lulu and dillon got a flight , and i can find a flight for myself . i 'm sure it wo n't be a problem . i 'm gon na go to that hotel , i 'm gon na confront my cheating wife , and i 'm gon na kick her boyfriend 's ass . valerie : i do n't mind taking care of rocco . dante : thank you . i 'll call you when i land . valerie : but it 's not gon na do you any good to go all the way out there half- cocked when you do n't even know what 's going on . dante : i do know what 's going on . i know my wife is lying to me . i know she 's taken off to some other country with some other guy . i mean , what am i supposed to do , wait around here for who knows when she 's gon na come back ? valerie : just one night . sleep on it . dante : i do n't ... i do n't think i can do much sleeping . valerie : try . and if you wake up and you still want to go , i wo n't stop you . but for tonight , stay here , with me . [ scene_break ] tj : i feel kind of bad taking michael 's room . sonny : do n't feel bad . i mean , michael has n't used it in years . tj : i 'm sorry things are n't good between you and your son . sonny : so am i . tj : you know , shawn 's not my dad , but he 's the closest thing to it . and things were n't good between us for a long time . i mean , you know why . sonny : because of what happened to your dad ? tj : right . and if i forgave shawn for what he did to my father , maybe michael can forgive you for what you did to his . you know , maybe things will change for you . sonny : yeah , maybe . [ scene_break ] sabrina : giving your sister back to sonny does n't mean that you absolve him -- or even forgive him . you 'd be doing the right thing for your sister and for yourself . michael : how does rewarding sonny make anything right ? sabrina : michael , i do n't know how to say this , but you -- dolling out justice is not your job . michael : you 're right . it 's the legal system 's job . sabrina : it 's the legal system 's job , and they failed miserably . okay . but that 's over . look , the longer you hold onto your anger , the more that you hurt yourself . i know , because i was drowning in -- in anger when i lost my son . michael : yeah , you -- yeah , you told me about that . sabrina : trying to exact revenge on ava did n't -- did n't make me feel any better . doing the right thing did . and by caring for aj , it 's made me feel closer to gabriel . i 've finally found a place where i could share all the love that i was n't able to give him . and maybe by giving your sister back to sonny , it -- it could do the same thing for you . michael : how do you know ? sabrina : because i 'm starting to know you . and i know how much you love your sister . and i know that that 's how much your father loved you . if , god forbid , some tragedy were to happen , would you want aj to be angry and bitter , seeking out vengeance in your name ? michael : no . no . never . sabrina : if you give your sister back to sonny , you 'll be reuniting a father with his child . you 'll be putting down the anger and the vengeance and allowing yourself to move on . i think if he were here , your father would want that . [ scene_break ] franco : you satisfied ? nina : nope . ava : well , i do n't know why not . we told you the truth . i do n't know what more you could possibly want . nina : a reasonable explanation . i just do n't get [ chuckles ] why you would go for someone like her . franco : ava : whoa ! where the hell do you get off ? franco : yeah . why would n't i be interested -- no , fascinated -- in denise here ? what , 'cause she 's not from the upper east side , like some people i know ? fat lot of good it did you . ava : yeah ! nina : yeah ? that 's what you got ? oh , wow . franco : denise is fun . what do you care ? you got that terrific husband you 're always talking about . where is he , anyway ? was n't he supposed to be meeting you here for dinner ? nina : yeah , yeah , he 's on his way . franco : yeah , well , maybe he got lost . so maybe you should go find him . nina : maybe i should go find him . that 's what i 'm gon na do , is find my husband right now . just gon na go ... franco : hey , um , youse guys mind if i borrow denise for a little while ? i - i have n't had a chance to hear all about her day . ava : [ chuckles ] carly : you know , kiki , i tolerate your aunt in my restaurant for the same reason i tolerate franco -- as a favor to you . but if there 's any further disturbance , i 'm gon na have them both escorted out of here . kiki : oh , there 's not gon na be any more problems . right , morgan ? morgan : what ? kiki : denise and franco , they 're not gon na cause any trouble . morgan : well , i would n't bet on that . franco : thank you for backing me up . ava : my pleasure . franco : yeah . and it 's -- it 's not that i 'm not grateful , but ... why the hell would you do that ?

[ scene_break ] morgan : why does it bother me that -- that denise is with franco ? maybe 'cause he 's insane ? look at what he did to my mom . look at what he did to my family . you were there , kiki . kiki : okay , yes , but with all due respect , franco has been working very hard to make himself a better person . morgan : i 'm just concerned that denise is his next victim . that 's all . kiki : and i think it is great that you care about denise . but if she wants to be with franco , then i do n't think we have any choice but to be happy for her . [ scene_break ] franco : so who 's the someone ? who are we trying to fool ? who do you need to think you 're with someone ? ava : i did n't seek him out . it was a chance encounter . silas : a normal person -- she does n't generally take her clothes off and nearly have sex with her daughter 's boyfriend by chance . ava : it would n't have happened at all if you had ... helped me to forget about him like i asked you to . silas : to be a booty call . ava : i need a distraction ! silas : if you ca n't get your mind off morgan , get a hobby . i suggest needlepoint . but if you 're looking for companionship , look elsewhere . you 're not getting it from me . ava : kiki . franco : kiki ? ava : kiki . yeah , she 's so sweet , my little niece , and -- and -- [ sighs ] she 's trying so hard , but she 's trying to set me up with her father . franco : ooh ! ava : yeah , not a fan ? franco : no , no . no , dr. mcbroody ? why would she want you to be with him ? ava : she 's a romantic . and i appreciate the gesture , you know , i do . i 'm just not -- i 'm not interested , you know ? and so i need ... ... i need her to get the message , you know ? and so if she thinks that we 're dating , then nobody 's feelings get hurt .

[ scene_break ] julian : do you mind me asking what brought on that craving for a drink ? i mean , was it something specifically that triggered it ? alexis : uh ... it does n't necessarily work that way . you know , it does n't have to be any one thing specifically . it was a warm , breezy night , and i was at home alone . and i wanted to feel something other than the maudlin nostalgia for happier summer nights and the piercing regret of what 's happened to my life . julian : alexis ... alexis : it 's not all about you , julian . it 's ... julian : just loneliness . loss . i 'm right there with you , alexis . i get it .

[ scene_break ] griffin : for what it 's worth , i 'm really impressed with your recovery . you know , especially since circumstances outside your control have forced you out of a job temporarily . finn : [ chuckles ] the circumstances are n't necessarily out of my control . griffin : hey , come on , brad cooper was nowhere near your last drug screen , and it came back positive . finn : it was a rushed judgment on brad . we thought he was trying to sabotage me because of greed when the real motive was some sort of twisted envy . griffin : some poor soul envies you ? finn : i know . [ chuckles ] hard to believe , but it has more to do with my position here at the hospital . griffin : enough to destroy your career ? finn : that 's been her goal since i showed up here . griffin : her ? finn : you know who i 'm talking about . obrecht . [ scene_break ] curtis : you know , the last time we talked about this , you had said that , uh , you had a trick to target whoever 's messing with finn . hayden : yeah , i did . we gave my urine to the lab but identified it as finn 's . but still , it came back positive for opioids and for -- curtis : and for what ? [ scene_break ] julian : you know , it 's not a sign of weakness to admit that you 're lonely . alexis : i can get through this myself . julian : no , you do n't have to . you really should n't have to . i mean , i was there when you spent that first night in months without a drink . you know , we got through that night together , alexis . alexis : that night is long past . julian : maybe . but here we are again , together . [ chuckles ] [ inhales deeply ] i do n't know , maybe my cravings to blot out my own thoughts was ... well , fate . maybe i was , uh , meant to run into you .

[ scene_break ] curtis : hayden . tell me about the lab results from the urine switcheroo . hayden : the point is , we knew someone was sabotaging finn . and we were sure it was the lab manager . but when we blocked his access to finn 's drug tests , they still came back positive . and now he 's been suspended from the hospital , and he ca n't be reinstated until we can prove that he 's being framed . curtis : and you need me to find said proof . hayden : yeah . curtis : all right , that 's a piece of cake . i already have a few ideas . hayden : great . what are they ? curtis : well , yo , we got to talk money , first . hayden : what happened to `` i 'm your friend `` and all that ? curtis : i 'm here on business . now , if you want to talk like friends , you can start by telling me about the baby you 're having . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : dr. finn , i assume you 're on the premises as part of your drug treatment program ? finn : mm , yeah , the program that 's working so well that i have n't used in months . dr. obrecht : your drug tests indicate otherwise . finn : that 's because someone 's been doctoring them to make it look like i 'm still under the influence . [ scene_break ] alexis : so what happened this morning ? your associate wanted sonny dead . that much was clear . what was n't clear was what you were gon na do about it . and i called sonny . i tried to reach him . but it went right to voicemail . julian : well , i gave the information to jason . i 'm sure he passed it on to sonny . alexis : so sonny 's all right ? julian : i think i would 've heard otherwise if he was n't . alexis : ah . mm . you went the distance today . you warned sonny . julian : well , i might be going to prison soon . i just thought maybe i could make one last effort to make a difference in somebody 's life . alexis : your `` associate `` -- what 's his name ? julian : garvey . alexis : garvey . ca n't be too happy about you not joining him against sonny . are you in danger now ?

[ scene_break ] julian : if i thought i was in danger , i would n't be here right now . i promise you , alexis . i would n't expose you to that again . i 'm safe . but thank you for asking . it does mean a lot to me . alexis : when you were with jason , did you see sam ? julian : yeah . i went to their apartment , so ... alexis : how was she ? julian : mm . she was fine . i mean , hostile to me , as usual . i mean , i guess they thought i wanted to see my grandkids . why ? are you worried about sam for some reason ? alexis : she 's been really agitated lately . and when i ask her about it , she gets upset . of course , she 's really upset with me now . julian : mm . because you were defending my rights as father when olivia would n't let me see leo . alexis : yep . i 'm gon na check on her tomorrow . julian : hey , well , listen . if you 're worried about sam , then so am i . can you , uh ... can you do me a little favor and just , you know , maybe keep me in the loop about our daughter ? alexis : yeah . julian : thank you . well , i actually ...

[ scene_break ] jason : you told me the way manny grabbed you reminded you of being raped . the last thing i want to make you do is relive it by retracing his steps , so this really has to be your decision . elizabeth : i would do it if i thought it would help . but i do n't want to go back to the hospital and walk through every moment that happened , waiting for me to -- to remember something , anything . we would be wasting time that sam does n't have . jason : elizabeth , it 's worth a try because the only mistake manny has ever made , he made around you .

[ scene_break ] jason : okay , i want to re - create everything that happened that night , from the moment manny grabbed you until he took you out of the hospital . are you going to be okay with that ? elizabeth : yeah . i was working right over there at the desk , and manny was pretty much right over here . jason : and what was he doing ? elizabeth : he was pretending to mop the floors . and that 's when skye came off the elevator , and i noticed manny pull a knife out of his pocket . and i knew that skye did n't see him do that , so i -- i grabbed a fire extinguisher from behind the desk and i yelled for her to watch out , and then i -- i hit manny over the head with the extinguisher . and that 's when i -- i turned to run . he -- uh -- he grabbed the back of my shirt . jason : you know what ? i 'm sorry . you do n't have to do this . i can figure out something else . elizabeth : no , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . i 'll let you know if i 'm not . i 'm good . jason : okay . [ elizabeth sighs ] jason : can you tell me exactly how he grabbed you ? elizabeth : yeah , he -- um -- he put his left arm around my waist , and he kind of lifted me up so that my feet did n't touch the floor . and at first i tried to fight him off , until i -- until i could feel the , you know , cold knife up against my throat , and that 's when lucky showed up with a gun . jason : did he say anything to you when he was -- when he was holding you ? elizabeth : lucky kept telling him to put me down , though obviously he would n't . he -- uh -- he kept saying that i was his ticket out of here and that he would n't hurt me unless he was forced to . lucky said that he would give him his gun and that he would trade places with me , but he said that i was much easier to handle . and then -- then he really yanked on me and dragged me into the hall . and then he picked me up and he -- and he took me -- he took me into the stairwell . okay -- no , that 's good . [ elizabeth sighs ] jason : are you all right ? elizabeth : yeah , yeah , i 'm good . jason : are you sure ? we do n't have -- elizabeth : no , i can do this . jason : you 're sure ? elizabeth : sam needs this . it 's the only chance you have at saving her . manny : oh , baby . i would n't do that if i were you . i still love looking at her . elizabeth : manny used a gurney to take me out of the hospital . jason : did he grab it in the moment or was it set up for him ? elizabeth : it seemed to be waiting there for him . the was a body bag on top of it and he told me to climb inside . while he was strapping me down to the gurney , he -- he actually apologized for inconveniencing me -- as if that was going to make me feel better . jason : did he -- did he say why he was putting you in the bag ? elizabeth : he was going to take me out through the morgue . it was his only way of escaping the hospital without getting caught . jason : what happened next ? elizabeth : i remember i desperately tried to get ahold of my cell phone , but i could n't because he had my hands tied with some tape . and then i just remember trying not to lose it . i was just trying to keep my focus because i knew i was going to freak out as soon as he zipped that bag closed . elizabeth : jason , sam 's going to make it through this . she 's a fighter . jason : that 's what i 'm afraid of . if she fights too hard , manny might decide she 's not worth the trouble . [ scene_break ] manny : you have to be more careful , baby . you could cut your hand . sam : why do you care if i bleed ? manny : because you 're not the one i want hurt . sam : then why did you shoot me in the back ? manny : sam , if i wanted you dead , you would be . the bullet was about jason . i told you -- i had to remind him what he did to my family , make him think about what i 'm going to keep doing to his . and now that you 're here with me , that 's all he 's going to think about . sam : you are a sick freak . manny : is it because of these ? is that why you ca n't stand to look at me ? [ scene_break ] carly : when jason came back in town , he was very grateful for what i had done , but sonny was n't . he was angry that i 'd seen his weakness , and he continued to treat me like dirt . lulu : so you and sonny hated each other 's guts , and the only thing that you guys had in common was being friends with jason ? how did you guys end up together ? carly : you do n't have to like someone to sleep with them . hate can be a very powerful attraction -- sonny and i are living proof . lulu : wait . so you slept with sonny out of hatred ? carly : look , i told you we were poison together . lulu : oh -- carly : jason -- oh , okay . one night , jason was dancing with elizabeth at kelly 's and i was jealous and i was angry . and i had to find out what was going on , so i went to sonny 's , and we started fighting . and one minute we were screaming at each other , and the next minute we were in bed . lulu : that does n't sound like a bad way to end a fight to me . carly : there -- there 's a lesson -- a lesson here . the first lesson is never sleep with a guy to prove that you hate him . and the second lesson -- never , ever sleep with the best friend of the guy you really , really want . lulu : you -- you 're the last person that i expected to be telling me to save myself for mr . perfect . carly : you can be picky , lulu . it 's okay . take it from someone who knows . someone who traded her self - respect for meaningless sex . someone who was pathetic and so desperate for attention . you get to have something that i did n't . make falling in love a wonderful experience . do n't settle . hold out for what you want . lulu : do you regret falling in love with sonny ? carly : when it was good , when sonny let me in , it was magic . but when it was bad , it was the worst . [ scene_break ] sonny : i got to warn you , i 've never been a father before . so i may get a few things wrong , but i will -- i will take care of you the best i know how . and i 'll cook for you , whatever you 're craving , even if it 's strange . i -- i will wait on you hand and foot . i got to tell you , by the time this baby 's born , you 're going to be tired of me asking you questions . you know ? but we 're going to be happy . you believe that ? emily : yes . sonny : huh ? yeah ? yeah . emily : you 're going to be -- um -- an amazing father to our baby . and -- um -- we 're going to have a wonderful life together , the kind of life you 've always dreamed of having . sonny : i 've never been happier than i am right now with you . i love you so much , lily . i can not -- i can not wait to meet our baby .

[ scene_break ] michael : hey . you 've barely moved since we 've gotten here . abby : i just do n't want to break anything . michael : it 's just stuff . abby : expensive stuff . look at that . i mean , i would have to work an entire year to replace something like that . michael : as if he 'd make you . does all this make you uncomfortable ? abby : i mean , it 's not just the money . i mean , it 's carly and sonny and jax . they 're not exactly on the welfare line . but this -- i mean , there 's history within these walls , tradition . an expected way of doing things . [ receiver clicks ] edward : well , i 'm sorry to keep you waiting , but i 've been trying to set up a tour of the main office as soon as possible , unless jason has scared you off . michael : no , jason did n't say anything i do n't already know . manipulating people is standard operating procedure for you , especially when it 's family members . edward : heh . and it 's cost me . look around . look around . this house -- this house used to be full . now , only ghosts haunt these halls . and me . i drove them all away -- even jason , our brightest and best . all this was supposed to be his . but he refused . so now , it goes to you . [ scene_break ] carly : i just dropped josslyn and mercedes off at home . i was so looking forward to spending time with her . i miss her like crazy when she 's with jax . but i could n't even stay and enjoy it because i 'm so angry . so i came here so i could calm down before i said or did something that would come back and bite me in court . jason : 'cause you 're too smart for that . what happened ? carly : i showed up to jax 's suite to pick up josslyn , and what do i see ? that ridiculous woman standing there holding my daughter . jason : you must be talking about brenda . carly : yeah , i 'm talking about brenda . oh , my god . i wanted to leap across the room , rip josslyn out of her arms , and wipe up the floor with her . jason : but instead , you kept your cool , right , carly ? because you know jax would have used that against you . carly : see , that 's why i love you . you have so much faith in me . look , i 'm feeling calmer already . do you have any junk food ? jason : do n't get too calm . i have some news about michael you 're probably not going to like . carly : oh , no . did he get in trouble again ? jason : no , no , no . this is good . carly : what happened ? jason : michael 's going to work for elq this summer . carly : like hell . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 've thrown some food and a book at your sister . it should keep her in her room for a while . kristina : well , she 's probably reading some romance novel set in florence . between ethan and molly , i 'm sure that 's probably where i 'll be spending my junior year . all i have to do is write a fabulous essay and get accepted to the program . what do you think about florence ? alexis : i think florence is a lovely city . i 'd like to talk about port charles right now . kristina : ok . before you start -- alexis : buh - buh - uh . you thought molly and i would be at the theater in the city . what you did n't know is that the lead fell down , and the show was canceled . so you thought we would n't be here , so you lured ethan over here . kristina : really ? lured ? alexis : that 's the word to describe when you deliberately mislead somebody into believing a situation that they would n't agree to if they knew all the facts . you invited him over here -- stop me if i 'm wrong . ah . i want to know what has gotten into you , my friend . are you so infatuated with ethan that you feel like you can hurt him ? kristina : i would never hurt ethan . alexis : you 're lying to him . you 're putting him in an untenable situation . you need to check yourself , or i 'm going to be forced to side with your father and forbid you to see ethan altogether . [ scene_break ] jason : can you just hear me out before you go off ? carly : i 'm not going to go off , 'cause it 's not going to happen . jason : but michael wants to do this . carly : michael does n't know what he 's getting himself into . jason : do i get a chance to talk ? carly : yes . talk , talk . but you 're not going to change my mind . jason : ok . if michael works for elq , it totally removes him from anything that has to do with this business and this organization . carly : firmly under the influence of edward quartermaine . finally , justice will be served , right ? jason : what the hell does that mean ? carly : you know what they say -- what goes around comes around . i treated the quartermaines horribly when it came to michael . i refused to acknowledge them as michael 's family . i refused to acknowledge that aj was michael 's biological father . some would argue that aj would still be alive if he could have been n part of michael 's life , that he would have tried to be a better person , he would have done the right thing . jason : that was a long time ago . more recently , when michael woke up from the coma , you were willing to let him live with the quartermaines . carly : only for a short period of time , and it did n't last , ok ? you know that edward is going to get in michael 's ear , and he 's going to tell him that i 'm a horrible person , that i willfully deprived michael from his birthright , and that i let him grow up in the care of big , bad mobsters . you know what 's going to happen . jason : this is a way to keep michael safe . i mean , is n't that what 's most important ? carly : you know , that 's really easy for you to say , jason . edward would never try and turn michael against you . me ? that 's a different story . [ scene_break ] edward : i 've assigned abby a position as an assistant . it 's a perfect fit . abby : that 's incredible . edward : oh , and for you , i 've been thinking about a position with a senior vp in acquisitions . they have a large portfolio , and they -- what ? what 's wrong ? michael : i do n't mean to be choosy or anything , but acquisitions ? i kind of want to fall asleep just hearing the word . edward : oh . i 'm sorry . i should have asked what piques your interest . so i 'm asking now . michael : well , i 'm kind of fascinated with green technology . edward : excellent . excellent . the wave of the future . get started on that right away . and i 'm looking forward to your input . michael : i just graduated high school . i do n't really have anything to contribute . edward : of course you do . you 're a bright young man , and you 're a fast learner , you have instincts , and you 're not afraid . those things will carry you far in this life . michael : i 'm going to tell you the same thing i told my father -- i do n't want any special treatment . edward : well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't guarantee that , because you 're family . and that 's a built - in special treatment . but it also brings burdens of responsibility and expectations . but your coming aboard -- it just means everything to me . michael : do you mind if i ask why ? edward : alan . emily . aj and justus . all gone . and jason left us years ago . it all comes down to you . michael : it 's a summer job , right ? do n't read too much into it . edward : what starts small can become much , much bigger . [ scene_break ] brenda : are you excited ?

[ brenda laughs ] sonny : but no . it 's just -- the demons that drive us , and how we struggle , not like normal people . brenda : yeah . but you know , sweetheart , with all due respect , i think everybody struggles with their demons . you know ? and when it gets really bad for you , you have your medication to take . and the problem is that luke is medicating with alcohol . and it does n't work . sonny : i told dante he does n't understand my side because he grew up solid and secure , kind of like jax who , you know , had everything handed to him . how 's he doing ? 'cause i saw the metro bag , ' cause -- brenda : ahh . that 's why you 're upset , 'cause i went and saw jax ? sonny : no , i 'm not upset . i mean , he 's your friend for whatever reason . i do n't want to put you in the middle . brenda : then why are you bringing it up ? you know i have never wanted to do anything to hurt either of you . sonny : well , you should n't have -- do anything to hurt me . brenda : you know what , honey ? it would really mean a lot to me if , at some point , you could figure out a way to get along with him . sonny : well , that would have been a possibility , but you know what ? not anymore , 'cause he 's trying to take carly 's kid from her . brenda : oh , ok . so now , suddenly no , because of this . so you want to get involved in this . is that what you want ? do you want us to get involved in their situation ? [ scene_break ] jason : what 's going on ? abby : i left the quartermaines feeling like i made a really huge mistake . jason : did edward do something already ? abby : no . he could n't have been more delightful and charming . but all of a sudden , i could just really see so clearly where all this is heading . i mean , edward wants michael -- not just for a summer . he wants michael to be his heir . jason : yeah . that 's really not going to come as a shock to michael , if that 's what you 're worried about . abby : that 's huge , jason . i mean , it changes everything . jason : how ? abby : i never realized until i was in that house today the kind of family that michael really comes from . and the quartermaines ? that 's old money . i mean , power that 's been in place for generations . they 're conglomerates and empires and acquisitions , and edward wants to give all of it to michael . jason : that does n't mean michael 's going to take it . he 's never really expressed any interest in that at all . abby : he 's never really spent any concentrated time with edward . i mean , what if michael decides that that is what he wants ? jason : what if it does ? abby : i know this is going to sound totally selfish , but where does that leave me ? jason : uh , with michael , only richer ? abby : ugh . i 'm going to be the first casualty . i mean , edward found me as useful . as soon as michael 's hooked , i mean , i 'm unsuitable and expendable . jason : michael 's not going to think that . abby : i do n't really want to take that chance . i mean , maybe i can still persuade michael , you know , to not work for elq . the question is , do i have that right ? [ scene_break ] carly : josslyn 's upstairs . you 'll have to say hi to her before you leave . and morgan , he 's at baseball practice . he 's playing shortstop . but you did n't know that , did you ? michael : is that your subtle way of saying i 've been neglecting my siblings ? carly : i 'm just anticipating , considering your summer plans . michael : news travels fast . carly : yeah . especially when it 's bad . please tell me you turned edward down . michael : i took the job so abby could get one , too . carly : i told you guys that i would hire you both at the metro court . michael : abby does n't want to do that . to her , it reads charity . elq is a different story . and besides , i might be curious . it might be interesting -- carly : why does it have to be edward ? why ? why edward quartermaine ? michael : i got an in . look , he 's my great - grandfather . is n't it about time i got to know him more ? carly : as long as i 've known edward , he 's been fixated on one thing -- grooming the proper heir . finding someone to be the perfect quartermaine , the next edward . i do n't want that for you , and there 's no way in hell i 'm going to let it happen . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'll have a beer , please , sir . and who would one talk to about getting some companionship around here ? lupe : welcome . i 'm lupe . dante : oh . hey , lupe . nice to meet you . lupe : i have n't seen you here before . i remember the pretty ones . my weakness . dante : [ laughs ] thank you . i 'm flattered . yeah . well , i 'm new to town . i 'm just getting the lay of the land , as it were , and someone told me this place could n't be missed . lupe : we offer entertainment for just about every taste . why do n't you tell me exactly what you 're looking for ? [ scene_break ] sonny : the last thing i want to do is get in the middle of jax and carly 's problems . but he put me there because he accused carly of being an unfit mother because of her association with me . like , what did he expect ? we had kids together . brenda : what are you talking about ? no , no , no . answer me one question . why do you always defend that woman ? why ? for what rea -- you know , i was just over there at the house , and i 'm sitting on the floor . i 've never josslyn before , right ? we 're playing . it 's sweet . that girl walks in the door , and she looks at me like she 's going to attack me for no reason . sonny : that 's exactly what jax wants -- carly blows up so he can have ammunition for court , because he 's a stupid son of a bitch . brenda : oh , right . it 's all him . listen , the only way that plan could work is if that woman is unstable , which she is . so basically , jax is just a father who 's fighting for his child . sonny : and carly 's a mother fighting for her child . brenda : no . sonny : no ? brenda : no . i have news for you . for some reason , you are blinded to the fact that - that woman is not a good mother . is that not true ? did n't she abandon michael right after he was born ? sonny : did n't you keep alec from his real father ? i 'm sorry . i should n't -- it should n't have come out of my mouth . i was -- i do n't want to get in the middle of this fight with them . you know what i mean ? brenda : you know why i did that . let 's just -- it 's fine . let 's just focus on us , ok ? and alec . sonny : yeah . just talking today with dante about the hell that i grew up -- how i grew up , right ? and here i am , with a woman that i married , that i love , and you made everything in my life worth it . i do n't want to -- i do n't want to lose you , you know ? i do n't want to -- oh . come on . [ scene_break ] jason : i think you should be honest . i mean , if there 's something really bugging you about the whole elq thing , you should tell him . abby : but edward can offer michael an incredible future . should n't that be what 's most important ? jason : you know , when michael was a baby , i pretty much stole him from the quartermaines . but now , this is edward 's chance to steal him back . and i can stop him . abby : have you thought about it ? jason : yeah , i 've thought about it . but michael could end up wanting to live his life as a quartermaine , and that would make him safe . but then again , i tried to use that logic with jake , and the truth is , i do n't really know . is it worth losing michael to keep him safe ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli and i do n't bicker , okay ? we disagree . and eventually , he agrees with me . lulu : has something changed ? because last i remember , spinelli got you out of prison , and you hate him for it . maxie : no , i do n't hate spinelli . he hates me , okay ? lulu : okay . spinelli would give up comic books for the rest of his life before he would hate you . maxie : no , lulu , listen , okay ? i told spinelli that i was gon na stay married to matt and i was moving in to matt 's place , and then he just went off on me for no reason . and he said the most ridiculous thing -- that he 's quitting as my friend . lulu : i 'm sorry . maxie : do n't be , okay ? can we please talk about anything -- literally anything but this . lulu : okay , yeah . how about how you went from moving in with matt to moving in with patrick ? maxie : okay , easy -- matt got sent to prison , and patrick did n't renew his lease , and , yes , i know i probably should have asked him about that before i went and gave our place to two strangers , but -- well , now it 's too late . lulu : well , what about moving in with mac ? maxie : okay -- please do n't say anything , okay ? 'cause i do n't want to jinx it . but it 's possible that mac and my mom are -- getting closer . lulu : really ? how do you feel about that ? maxie : i do n't know . i just realized i ca n't really run my own life , so i really do n't have room to judge them . and , besides , if it 's gon na make them happy , then i really do n't want to get in the way of that , so ... that means i ca n't stay with mac , which leaves me here -- with patrick and emma . lulu : are you really sure that 's a good idea ? [ scene_break ] patrick : is there something going on between elizabeth and jason ? ewen : it 's probably nothing , but jason was at elizabeth 's when i arrived for our date last night . patrick : well , that 's a little disconcerting . ewen : uh , no , i would n't say i was disconcerted , just -- just surprised . patrick : right . well , what were they doing ? ewen : nothing . but it was clear i had walked in on a -- close moment . it seemed innocent enough at the time , and i did n't think anything of it until -- i overheard elizabeth talking to her brother about jason just a few minutes ago . patrick : and now you 're not so sure if it was that innocent . ewen : like i said , uh -- it 's probably nothing . patrick : i would n't bet on it . i 'm sure you have something to be worried about . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : do n't misunderstand . i do n't -- i do n't mean you 're a destructive force in my life . my god , no . if there 's a destructive force , it 's me . when it comes to relationships , i ruin every single one of them . jason : no , look -- if our friendship is causing problems , i can just back off . elizabeth : no ! now , come on . i can be your friend and date ewen at the same time , and that 's exactly what i told my brother . jason : and he does n't believe you . elizabeth : he 's my big brother . and he watched me fall apart when things did n't work out with lucky . he just does n't want to see me going through that again . jason : and i ca n't say i blame him . but you are stronger now . elizabeth : yeah . because i finally let go . it took a really long time , but i finally accepted that , no matter how much i loved lucky , we just ca n't be together . and that 's okay . it 's okay , because i have learned from it , and i 'm ready to move on . jason : maybe that 's what i have to do . maybe it 's over for me and sam . [ scene_break ] todd : you have a great name , so i 'm gon na give you the benefit of the doubt , even though i 'm not sure i approve of your choice of friends . sam : what do you know about my friends . todd : well , john mcbain . sam : you know john ? todd : oh , everybody knows john mcbain . i -- i , um -- i was away from my woman for -- eight years , and we were finally reunited -- and i thought , for maybe the first time in my life , that i might be happy . and who should burst through the door to arrest me for killing my brother but mr . truth - and - justice . no , i do not -- i do not like john mcbain . sam : well , he 's very serious about the law . todd : he 's serious about everything . you know what ? i do n't think this is gon na work . i just do n't think it 's gon na work . well , you 're gon na ask me for a job , right ? sam : how did you know i was gon na ask you for a job ? todd : i had to fire my assistant . you said , `` how can i help ? `` and so why , what ? you would n't work for me ? sam : well , if i applied , would you consider ? todd : well , let 's go over your qualifications . you 're friends with john mcbain , so there 's that , and then , you know , you 're a private investigator . sam : how did you know i was a private investigator ? todd : well , it 's my job . i run a newspaper . i have to know everything that happens in this world , and if i do n't know something , i ask . so , you know what ? let me ask you -- why would a private investigator ask me for a job ? you would n't be investigating me , would you ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : p.i . log -- i have tracked the vehicle of my subject , one heather webber , to mile marker 13 , the site of her peculiar stop - off the night of the recent storm . why has she returned here ? what holds such fascination for the cockeyed cuckoo ? and what mysteries lie -- in yonder woods ? [ scene_break ] anna : that 's quite a tale . tracy : it 's the truth . anna : yeah , without any corroborating evidence , it 's just a story , one that you could be telling to deflect blame . tracy : excuse me ? anna : could just as easily have happened the other way around -- that you did , in fact , pull the trigger and luke is trying to cover it up . tracy : oh , i do n't believe this . if i actually killed anthony , why would i come forward when it could implicate me ? anna : i do n't know . i ca n't speculate as to your motives . but your story would be a lot more convincing if you could tell me where the body is . tracy : well , i guess you 're just gon na have to ask luke about that or whichever one of his cronies he got to dispose of the body . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i have hypothesized that heather 's purpose here is somehow connected to the ersatz husband she professed to have when questioned by state police the night of the storm . perhaps identifying pseudo - spouse is key to unlocking the puzzle . but first i have to find heather . she appears to have vanished . heather : actually , she 's right here . [ scene_break ] maxie : why would n't i live with patrick ? we 're family . lulu : why do you want to torture yourself , living somewhere that 's a constant reminder of robin ? maxie : look , i 'm gon na be thinking about robin 24/7 no matter where i am . lulu : i know . i just wish that you would give yourself a break . maxie : if anyone needs a break , it 's patrick , okay ? while i was having a public meltdown and wrecking robin 's funeral , getting myself sent to prison , patrick was just here , imploding in the privacy of his own home . lulu : imploding ? maxie : there 's like this three - week period where he literally did n't do anything . he just -- he did n't even get off this couch . and he lied to everyone -- said he was consulting at mercy -- when really he was just grieving , alone in this house . i mean , let 's ask ourselves , okay , lulu ? let 's say , `` where were the family and friends that were supposed to be supporting him ? `` oh . that 's right . they were wringing their hands over me . and then , as soon as patrick starts to feel better , matt gets sent to pentonville and loses another person that he should have been counting on . lulu : at some point , how he chooses to grieve is on him . maxie : i 'm just saying that i have a lot of making up to do , and i might as well start with patrick . besides -- i 'd rather him get help from me than get help from these . [ scene_break ] patrick : if you want a relationship with elizabeth , you , uh -- you need to keep her away from jason . ewen : i ca n't control her . i mean , i would n't want to . patrick : that 's very noble of you , but , where jason 's concerned , that 's a serious mistake . ewen : well , i understand jason and robin were close . were you able to influence her when it came to their friendship ? patrick : jason and robin were friends before i met her , but -- they were lovers in a serious time in their life , and robin could never see jason for what he really is . ewen : and that would be ? patrick : he 's a paid killer . he 's a contract killer for the mob . ewen : [ sighs ] patrick : but he has a way of sucking women in , like elizabeth and robin . and they want to heal him and fix him . ewen : well , that 's intriguing , from a professional standpoint , but -- somewhat daunting on a personal level . patrick : right . but the thing is , jason does n't want to be fixed or healed , and the very women that he hurts are the first ones who 'll line up to defend him . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : your situation with sam is very different from mine with lucky 's . you guys are still married . you have a foundation to rebuild on . jason : yeah , i asked her to come home , and -- she wo n't . elizabeth : give her time . jason : elizabeth , nothing i can say or do can ever change the fact that her son died because of me . elizabeth : that 's not true . jason : sam believes it is . and would you stay married to the guy who 's responsible for your child 's death ? [ scene_break ] todd : come on . i have a right to be suspicious . sam : thank you . todd : i mean , you come ask me for a job the first day that i 'm in this o -- you know this is the first day that i 've been in this office because i tried to get all this fashion crap off the walls . i told my assistant to get rid of it . well -- yeah , right before i fired her . but i do like the windows . yeah , they 're great , right ? sam : they 're nice . todd : big fan of the natural light . sam : i think you picked the right office . todd : yeah , but it does n't explain why a private investigator would want to work for me , unless it was a cover for some kind of investigation . sam : no , mr. manning , you 're absolutely wrong . i am not investigating you . in fact , i 'm -- hanging up my license . todd : why ? sam : well , my business partner and my -- husband are best friends , and my marriage is completely falling apart , and it 's just really awkward now . todd : marriage is a dare . but i 'm sorry to hear that . sam : thank you . anyway , i do n't want to be tripping over my husband anymore , so -- todd : oh , right . we should talk about him , right ? that would be good . sam : who ? todd : well , jason morgan , right ? i got that right ? you know , if he becomes your ex - husband , are you -- what is your maiden name ? will you go back to that ? sam : mccall , but i have n't really decided that yet . todd : mccall . you know , both of my ex - wives , um -- they never even took my name , so i did n't have to worry about that , you know ? i mean , blair wanted to be a cramer woman for some reason . i do n't know why because they 're all completely bananas . and -- and téa -- well , delgado . i mean , she 's very attached to her heritage . in fact , i -- i only ever call her delgado . sam : uh , i think we might have just gotten a little off track there for a little bit . todd : we should get back to jason morgan , right ? who works for sonny corinthos . sam : yes . they are -- they are business partners . todd : yes , the business of killing people . or eliminating people ? what do i write down ? sam : this is my whole point . i do n't want to be involved . i do n't want to be around him or his friends -- none of it . todd : well , boundaries make for a happy divorce . sam : will you consider me for the job ? todd : publishing is -- is a very fast business . it 's very fast - moving . sam : okay . well , i can do fast businesses . todd : maybe you could , if you were 100 % , but -- sam : who says i 'm not ? todd : you just lost a baby . sam : i did not lose my baby , mr. manning . my child was taken from me . but , of course , i mean , you would know all about that , would n't you ? [ scene_break ] jason : the one thing that can bring us back together is the one thing that i ca n't do , and that 's give sam her son back . elizabeth : i know she feels that way now . but hopefully , she 'll find a way to forgive you . jason : i just keep going back to this one moment ... this one moment at the garden shed . sam was insisting on holding the baby , even -- even after he was gone . and i put him in her arms , and she said it was n't the same baby , that someone must have switched the baby and -- and put another child there . elizabeth : it must have been her way of dealing with the loss . jason : but i wish she was right . because that would mean that the baby 's still out there -- and i would find him -- and put our family back together again . [ scene_break ] todd : what are you talking about ? i did n't take your -- i 'm not somebody who would just take a baby . sam : i was n't talking about you . todd : okay . sam : [ sighs ] my husband -- if it had n't been for him , then my son would still be alive right now . todd : um -- oh . all right , then . i 'm sorry . i was just being defensive . usually people accuse me of things and then ask questions later . sam : oh . well , i 'm sorry . i -- really did n't mean to lash out on you . todd : okay . well , do n't let that happen again . sam : okay , i wo n't . todd : what did you mean when you said that i knew all about it ? sam : well , in the first edition of your paper , you printed an article about my son 's death , and you included many details , so i just figured you wrote it . todd : no , that was n't me . when i bought the paper , the only thing i did for the first edition was put my face on the front cover . i did n't even read the body of the paper before it went to press . sam : gosh . i did n't realize that . todd : if i had , i would have put the story about your son on the inside front page . sam : thank you , i -- i guess . todd : it 's not that . it 's -- you lead with bad news . that 's what i do . i 'm in the business of selling newspapers . that 's what sells newspapers -- stories , articles , and pictures about people and suffering and human misery . i do n't have time to -- be considerate of your feelings and your -- and your suffering . i -- i do n't -- i do n't think that this is the right job for you . sam : my son died on the day he was born . nothing you can print in your paper could possibly hurt me worse than that . i need a fresh start . i have to start over . have n't you ever had to start over , mr. manning ? [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] jason : oh . bernie . yeah . no , just text me the info . i 'm sorry . i have to go . elizabeth : is everything okay ? jason : i have to find somebody for sonny , and i just got to leave . elizabeth : where are you headed ? jason : new orleans . [ scene_break ] lulu : where 'd you get these ? maxie : in patrick 's robe . i found them in one of the pockets . lulu : what were you doing going through his robe ? maxie : well , it 's not like i was ransacking his closet , okay ? he left his robe hanging up in the bathroom , i was cold , so i borrowed it , and these were in the pocket . lulu : okay . so ? maxie : so , patrick went nuts this morning when he could n't find his robe , and i 'm starting to think it 's because he was afraid that he lost what was inside of it . lulu : the pills ? are you saying patrick is using ? [ scene_break ] ewen : thanks again . patrick : yeah . ewen : if i can ever repay your kindness -- patrick : what 's this ? ewen : it 's good for a free time slot . patrick : you hit all your doctors up to be possible clients ? ewen : only the ones who saved my life -- and the ones i think could benefit from talking . patrick : right . well , uh , thank you , but i 'm okay . ewen : i 'm sure you are . but you 've also suffered a great loss , and grief has its way of doubling back and taking us by surprise . i just want to let you know that i 'm available to help you find ways to cope -- should -- should the need arise . [ scene_break ] anna : so , not only did luke kill anthony , he also recruited some mysterious third party to dispose of the body . is that what i 'm hearing ? tracy : he must have , yes , because luke and i only moved the body once , and that was so detective padilla would n't catch us with it . anna : run that by me again . tracy : luke and i carted anthony zacchara 's dead body up to the terrace outside the main house . we put a hat on him , glasses , gave him a drink so we could pass him off as dead drunk instead of just dead . anna : why would luke go to the trouble of doing that if he was gon na get rid of the body anyway ? tracy : i do n't know ! maybe his minions were running late . maybe he did n't expect me to find the body . who cares ? what matters is that luke and i went into the house for a couple of minutes . we came back out , and when we came back out , that body was gone , and i 've never seen it since . anna : just gets -- just gets better and better , does n't it ? tracy : you think i do n't know how ridiculous this sounds ? you ca n't make this stuff up . anna : yeah . you could -- if you 're trying to pin the crime on luke . tracy : oh , you think i 'm the woman scorned . you think that i 'm doing all this to punish luke for choosing you over me . mnh - mnh - mnh - mnh - mnh . you are so welcome to him . i am too good for a man that does not have the -- courage to face me and tell me he does n't want me . anna : he did n't speak to you last night ? tracy : no , i never heard from luke . and i assumed it was because he wanted to squeeze every second out of his evening with you . anna : uh , we did n't -- we did n't have a special evening . he never showed up . and i do n't know what happened to him . [ scene_break ] heather : why are you following me ? spinelli : i 'm not following you . i 'm here because -- i 'm a birder . heather : so , when you said you had to `` find heather but she seemed to have vanished , `` you were talking about a bird . spinelli : yes . yes , of course -- the heather bird . um , sylvia plath featured them prominently in her short story `` initiation , `` which they symbolize uniqueness , but in contrast , the sparrow symbolizes ubiquitous conformity . heather : i believe you . no one could make up something that boring . spinelli : you know , the avian life indigenous to this region is quite fascinating -- the downy woodpecker , the yellow - bellied sapsucker -- and then , of course , the -- black - billed cuckoo . heather : what 's the tape recorder for ? spinelli : well , firstly , it 's a digital voice recorder , and , secondly , obviously , i 'm here to capture the elusive song of the cuckoo . heather : really ? let 's hear it ! spinelli : no , please ! can i have that back ? ! it 's very delicate ! you -- p.i . log -- i have tracked the vehicle of my subject , one heather webber , to mile marker 13 , the site of her peculiar stop - off the night of the recent storm . why has she returned here ? what holds such fascination for the cockeyed cuckoo ? [ button clicks ] heather : well , i guess you found your cuckoo . [ telephone rings ] tracy : luke not only stood up the woman he does n't want , but he also stood up -- the woman he does want ? anna : it would seem so , yeah . i mean , you know , i said to him that i do n't want to see him till he 's spoke to you , and since he was n't able to do that -- tracy : no . i think luke did a little cost - benefit analysis . anna : cost - benefit ? tracy : anna , luke is nothing , if not mercenary . he can only allow his heart to get in the way of his bank account for a limited amount of time . you are a woman of international mystery , and i am a woman of means , so he asked himself the question , `` is it worth upsetting spanky to be with slim ? `` and clearly the answer to that question was -- he does n't care enough about you to bother . [ scene_break ] heather : who hired you ? spinelli : no one . heather : it was olivia , was n't it . spinelli : no . heather : she 's been after me ever since i borrowed her car without asking . spinelli : ms. falconeri has no knowledge of my pursuit of you . i am acting independently because -- because i -- i find you , much like the -- [ bird squawks ] spinelli : -- the heather bird , unique and singularly fascinating ! heather : oh , save it , you little yellow - bellied sapsucker . i 've seen you and olivia with your heads together at the floating rib . you 're in cahoots . spinelli : no , we are no such thing . heather : olivia wants me out of my son 's life . that tramp is probably using steven lars ' hard - earned money to finance this investigation . i 'm gon na put a stop to it . [ scene_break ] todd : i think you should go somewhere else for your fresh start . is n't there some other career that you 've always been interested in ? sam : you do n't want me around . todd : no , it 's not -- i just -- i do n't think that you fit in here . sam : it 's okay . i -- i get that you do n't get it , you do n't understand , you 'll never understand , that you 'd want to reinvent yourself or start over . todd : you are wrong about that . sam : excuse me ? todd : my whole life , i 've wanted to reinvent myself , and i have never been able to . it 's not something that 's ever gon na happen to me . and there have been people in my life that thought i was capable of it . granted , that they were misguided or naive or that they did n't know any better . sam : like sam . todd : yeah , like sam . sam cared about me . he did n't have to , but he did . even when people told him not to , he still did . and he does . sam cares about me . sam thinks i 'm a good person -- hero , even . just so you know , i 'm not -- i 'm not a hero . sam : got it . todd : you come to work for me , you will live to regret it . i am selfish , i 'm unreasonable , i 'm demanding -- sam : that 's great . i want a challenge . the hours are good -- the longer the better . i need to be occupied . todd : i 'm emotionally unhealthy . sam : please , mr. manning , give me a chance . todd : sam is grieving for a baby that is n't dead , and téa is bonding with a baby that 's not hers . i know what i 've done is unforgivable . but i will do whatever little thing i can to try and make things up to sam .

[ scene_break ] sam : hey . spinelli . hi . come in . rafe : how 's it going ? spinelli : uh , not that i do n't appreciate the warm welcome , but were you perchance expecting someone else ? sam : d - do n't worry about that . um ... what brings you by ? spinelli : oh , i just wanted to see how my godson was faring post - chemo . sam : oh , i was just telling rafe he 's actually out like a light right now . spinelli : ah . well , i regret not being able to get some face time with him , but i 'm glad he 's getting much needed rest . sam : why do n't you just stick around for a little bit . he 's gon na be up . i 'm sure he 'd love to see you . spinelli : oh ! well , how could i refuse such a generous offer ? sam : great . i 'll get some snacks . spinelli : yay ! sam : he loves that . [ doorbell rings ] rafe : do n't worry . i 'll get it . i ca n't freeze up every time the doorbell rings , thinking it 's my uncle silas coming to take me away . silas : hi . [ scene_break ] felix : sabrina , i only hope the reason you 're not answering is because you 're busy taking your butt to the hospital . call me as soon as you do , okay ? i got to know that you got there before britt . if she gets ahold of those test results , then this was all for nothing . taylor : [ groans ] do you mind ? some people are trying to sleep . felix : you can blame your new bestie for disturbing your beauty rest . that britch is trying to stop her kid 's paternity test . [ scene_break ] britt : hold it right there , fish girl . ellie : [ scoffs ] for your information , i did n't respond to that in middle school , and i certainly d -- britt : oh , well , respond to this . i do not want that paternity test completed . patrick : too late . have the results right here . sabrina : we 're about to find out once and for all whether patrick is the father of your baby . [ scene_break ] tj : look , i 'm really -- i 'm really sorry that the kid has to go through all this . i really hope your family knows i 'm pulling for him . molly : thank you . that means a lot . tj : yeah . this must be really hard on sam . molly : yeah . i have no idea how she 's getting through it . i mean , she 's danny 's mom . i 'm only his aunt , and i can barely think about anything else . tj : really ? molly : yes , really . i love danny . he 's seriously ill , and the only way to make him better is to pump him full of drugs that make him feel even worse . tj : yeah , but you were n't thinking about danny when -- you know ... molly : when what ? tj , what is this about ? tj : nothing . just forget it , all right ? we 're not gon na get into all this now , okay ? not while danny 's sick . molly : well , now all i can focus on is this conversation , so you might as well tell me what 's going on . tj : all right . well , you said that you could barely think about anything else , but i saw you on friday with rafe . [ scene_break ] rafe : uh , sam ? sam : silas . silas : hi . rafe : are you here to take me back to new york ? silas : we talked about this , buddy . i will be taking you with me , but not today . may i ? [ sniffs ] mm . rafe : sorry . i was n't really sure of the timeline . sam : actually , i 'm -- i 'm really glad you stopped by , dr. clay . silas : i 'm hoping that rafe will call me `` silas , `` and i 'd like it if you 'd do the same . sam : okay , silas . danny is tolerating the chemo a lot better than dr. singh expected , and i 'm sure it 's because of the combination of drugs that you suggested to use , so thank you very much . silas : you 're welcome . sam : i just want to get danny through this . that 's all i 'm focusing on . i feel like this will be over soon . silas : except it 's not -- not by a long shot . [ scene_break ] maxie : what do you mean ? no , nothing happened between me and spinelli . why would you even think that ? lulu : i sensed a little tension when we picked you up . maxie : that was just spinelli being spinelli . lulu : did he say something to upset you ? spinelli : this baby started as a favor to two beloved friends , but now it 's no longer just an idea . i mean , he or she 's a child that you feel growing , moving , inside of you . i mean , you 've -- you 've identified which music they respond to . every day , the child becomes more and more real , as does the fact that in three short months , you 'll have to hand that child over to dante and lulu . lulu : maxie . you can tell me . what did spinelli say ? maxie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anna : ooh , that awful woman . luke : well , let 's get the devil her due . as revenge plots go , this one is brilliant . anna : so , the whole time , you 've know , since you 've been back -- ever since you rescued lulu ? luke : well , she has been since then dripping poison into my ear , literally . i should have known that she would n't go into the long , dark night without leaving me some kind of parting gift . anna : i do n't even know what to say . i 'm so sorry . i do n't know what to say . luke : slim , thank you , but i do n't want people weeping over my grave before i 'm even in it . anna : no , i know . i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . what do you need ? luke : all right . i need ... [ sighs ] i need every trick you 've ever learned from the wsb about cheating death . i need ... intelligence . anna : okay . well , the first thing you need to do is to figure out what the toxin is . i 'll call poison control . luke : no , no , no . it 's all right . i know what it is . helena 's little souvenir is called polonium-210 . anna : what ? oh , god -- well , if you know already what the poison is , why are you here ? you should be in the hospital , being treated ! luke : you heard her . the cure is n't with gh . it 's out there somewhere . i need you to help me find it . [ scene_break ] taylor : britt never said anything about a paternity test . felix : that 's because she did n't know there was one . taylor : but now she does ? felix : it 's not my fault . i did n't mean to say anything , but britt made me so mad , i must have just let it slip . taylor : ohh . so , that 's what 's got your panties in a bunch . felix : no , no , no , no , no . i 'm having a bad day as it is . i wo n't let you impugn my choice of underwear . it 's either low - rise boxer briefs or nothing at all , thank you very much . taylor : i so , so should n't know that . felix : and i so should n't have let britt win this round , but what could i do ? she was gon na call the police if i did n't let her go and stop that test . can you believe that ? taylor : actually , yeah , i can . you know , if you ask me , you all should be arrested for what you did to britt . [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] britt : are you kidding me ? do any of you realize what you 've just done ? patrick : uncovered the truth , which you 've been trying to hide all along . britt : i ca n't believe you are a part of this . i mean , i always knew your little girlfriend was an idiot , but -- patrick : watch it , britt . britt : but you -- you 're a doctor , for god 's sake . you 're supposed to be smarter than this . do i need to explain all the rules and laws that you broke on your little quest ? patrick : are you kidding me ? you 're gon na give me a lecture about rules after everything you 've done ? britt : and what about you , fish girl ? do you honestly think any lab is going to hire you once i turn you in for all the back - alley proce -- sabrina : this was n't ellie 's idea . britt : oh , sweet little sabrina . she who can do no wrong . no one would ever suspect you to break hospital policy . sabrina : yeah ? well , someone had to stand up to you . britt : if anyone so much as peeks inside that envelope , i will make sure the review board kicks all your butts to the curb . so , unless you all want to be line for a sequestered - size unemployment check , you 'll hand over those results to me . right now ! [ scene_break ] anna : i will do anything for you , luke -- anything -- but you know helena cassadine better than anyone . and i 've barely crossed paths with the woman . luke : yes , but you have a better relationship with the wsb than i do . now , the cassadines have been on their radar for a long time , so i 'm thinking maybe we could just put our heads together . at the very least , you can help me with intel , getting whatever weapons i may need . anna : weapons ? luke : slim , listen -- i know you . you are determined . you are relentless . and when it comes to finishing a job , you have a streak of genius . it 's a real shame that you 've been on the wrong side of the law all this time . anna : [ chuckles ] you 've been known to side with law enforcement on occasion . luke : okay . well , if i 've earned any points , i need to collect them now . if there 's anybody who can help me figure this out , it 's you . anna : i 'm in . [ scene_break ] patrick : okay , britt . you win . sabrina : patrick , wait . what -- what are you doing ? patrick : i tried to convince myself that what we were doing here is right , and maybe it still is , but it does n't change the fact that it 's illegal . we could lose our jobs over this , and i do n't want that to happen to you and especially not to you , ellie . you were just helping us out . ellie : thank you for standing up for me , dr. drake , but this was my choice . you did n't force me to do anything . patrick : i think there 's another way that we can find the results of this test -- one that does n't require us losing our jobs here at general hospital . britt : thank you , patrick . i knew i could count on you to do the right thing . patrick : [ sighs ] well ... thank you , britt , for confirming everything that i 've suspected all along . britt : what do you mean ? patrick : now i know for sure this baby 's not mine . [ scene_break ] maxie : you want me to tell you what spinelli said to me ? dante : hey , remember we said we 'd give maxie her space and not try and micromanage her life ? lulu : [ sighs ] i 'm not trying to manage maxie . i just thought that maybe she needed to talk . dante : i do n't know if she does , and what she talks about with spinelli is n't really our business , okay ? lulu : okay , we were best friends long before you were our surrogate , which means that we listen to each other , and we help if we can , and if something 's bothering you , i just want you to be able to tell me . maxie : i appreciate that , lulu . i really do . i - it 's just -- dante : look , she 's got a complicated relationship going on with spinelli , right ? now she 's living with his new girlfriend . it 's probably weird . maxie : that 's very insightful , dante -- and sensitive , not that i think you 're insensitive . lulu : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so stupid . i did n't even realize . maxie : no , do n't worry about it , okay ? it 's all gon na be fine . just ... talking to spinelli reminded me of the situation we 're all in . that 's it . [ scene_break ] rafe : what do you mean , `` it 's not over `` ? sam : danny 's been receptive to the treatment you 've recommended . silas : yes , and i 'm glad to hear it , but it 's no time for victory laps . spinelli : um , if i may interject , your medical credentials are clearly beyond reproach , but your bedside manner leaves much to be desired . silas : mm . i 'm sorry . who are you again ? spinelli : oh , i 'm , um , damian spinelli , private investigator -- specifically , sam 's business partner and a very close friend of the family . silas : right -- `` the jester . `` sam : [ groans ] spinelli : actually , it 's -- it 's -- it 's `` the jackal . `` but in addition to being sam 's business partner and friend , i 'm also danny 's godfather , and it is in that capacity which i take exception to your appalling lack of tact . silas : hey , jester -- all right ? -- we 're all on the same side here . i want danny to make it as much as you do , so why do n't you calm down for a second and let the grown - ups talk ? [ scene_break ] molly : tj , the prom was canceled . you did n't see me there with rafe . you could n't have . tj : i was n't talking about the dance . i was talking about the little party that you and rafe had in the park . molly : how do you even know about that ? tj : look , that 's not the point . the point is you came in here the other day , and you made it seem like you wanted to get back together . well , then i saw you and rafe in the park . molly : well , you were going to the prom with taylor . tj : this was n't prom ! there was no prom ! it was just you and rafe dancing . and then i saw you kissing him . so , i ca n't buy that whole `` danny 's all you can think about , `` 'cause it sure seems like some other guy 's been on your mind . [ scene_break ] luke : yes . great . thank you . i owe you one . anna : i assume that was frisco , yeah ? luke : yeah . he 's having his team monitor any suspicious activities around the cassadine island . what about you ? anything ? anna : i 've been on the wsb database , looking for all the polonium-210 poisons . so , the most detailed case they have is from 2006 . do you remember the russian spy who was all over the news ? luke : alexander litvinenko . anna : exactly , yeah . luke : well , i do n't suppose there 's any connection between him and our favorite greeks . anna : no , not according to these reports . there 's no ties to the cassadines , no . that 's the most detailed report they have -- 2006 . but , uh ... oh . this one 's a bit more recent . oh , my -- no way . luke : what ? anna : it happened right here in port charles . [ scene_break ] maxie : i hope it 's okay that dante and lulu are here . dr. westbourne allowed it . dr. chu : oh , i was happy to take your case when dr. westbourne went on medical leave . she assured me that you were a close - knit group and that you 're all very excited about this baby . lulu : that would be an understatement . [ chuckles ] dr. chu : you 're in the third trimester , so before you know it , your baby will be here . what do you say we have a look ? [ heart beating ] dr. chu : and that is the baby 's heartbeat . [ beating continues ] dante : wow . do you ever get tired of hearing that sound ? lulu : that is not possible . dr. chu : it 's a good , strong heartbeat . lungs are developing nicely , and , um ... let 's see . okay . before we go any further , i should ask you , do you know the baby 's sex ? dante : well , lulu here did n't want to know . lulu : actually , um ... i think i changed my mind . [ scene_break ] britt : patrick , how many times do i have to tell you this is your baby ? ! patrick : if that was true , britt , why would you destroy the test results ? sabrina : if the baby was really patrick 's , you would n't have come down here in the first place . why stop us from seeing the test if the results proved you right ? patrick : we 're done ... with all of this ... finally . britt : patrick , wait . [ scene_break ] felix : you seriously think we 've been unfair to britt ? what about what she did to us ? taylor : okay , let me get -- let me get this straight . [ chuckles ] okay . so , some big - deal doctor sleeps with britt , knocks her up , dumps her , then goes behind her back just to get out of taking responsibility for his kid ? felix : [ chuckles ] you are so late to the party , girl . britt locked in on patrick and traced him like a heat - seeking missile . she basically ambushed him in the hospital shower for their only sexual encounter , which may or may not be responsible for her pregnancy . she used her position on staff to make sabrina 's life miserable . then she defiled the nurses ' ball , a major fundraiser for aids - related programs , to announce her tawdry pregnancy . britt westbourne is relentless , remorseless , and lying like a rug about her baby daddy , and she 's gon na get what she deserves . taylor : you know what ? did you ever look at it from her perspective ? maybe she honestly loves patrick or at least cares about him , and maybe -- you know , maybe she wanted something real but got sabotaged every step of the way because of team sabrina . and to make it all worse , britt has to put up with your never - ending supply of nicknames . felix : every one of which she more than deserves . taylor : you know what ? you can spin it all you want . [ scoffs ] i just do n't see britt as the bad guy here . felix : then you have n't been paying attention . britt manipulated this whole situation . you know what ? you do n't even know what you 're talking about . taylor : yeah , i do . britt told me all about it . felix : right . when did dr. west nile -- westbourne -- open up to you about this ? taylor : right after i opened up to her about me and tj . [ scene_break ] molly : okay , look , i know it was hard for you to see me with rafe , but you do n't know the whole story . and for you to just jump to conclusions like that -- it really hurts . tj : i 'm sorry , all right ? but come on . how do you think i felt when i saw you with rafe ? molly : were you following me ? tj : no . i saw you from -- from a car , so ... molly : well , i wish you 'd said something before , because what you saw between rafe and me was a kiss goodbye . tj : what do you mean ? molly : we thought it was gon na be his last night here before his uncle takes him to new york . tj , that kiss -- it was n't romantic . rafe even said he knew i was just kissing him as a friend . he knew that i did n't feel anything for him . and he was right . it did n't feel the same way -- tj : what way ? molly : the way it feels when i kiss you . [ scene_break ] sam : just because you gave me some medical advice does not mean you get to come into my family 's home and talk to my friends like that . silas : i 'd be less worried about my personality flaws and more about getting your son healthy . rafe : could you try to be human for once ? the only thing sam cares about is making sure danny 's okay . silas : yes , and that does n't happen with wishful thinking , rafe . spinelli : young daniel is undergoing chemo . sam has done her utmost to secure proper treatment . silas : she needs to do more . sam : what are you saying ? i - i do n't -- i do n't understand . did n't you say the protocol was working ? so , what -- you just -- you have to be right all the time ? what , do you need me following you around , begging for help ? silas : believe me -- once your son goes into remission , i 'll be more than happy to never see you again . sam : danny 's not going into remission ? silas : the treatment protocol is working , yes , but given the seriousness of danny 's condition and what i 've been able to make from his labs ... there 's a very good chance danny 's gon na need a bone - marrow transplant to survive . sam : danny 's doctors mentioned the possibility of a bone - marrow transplant someday , but that i should n't worry about that right now -- that , based on his labwork -- silas : they did n't want to trouble you , sam , until they knew for sure . that 's the difference between me and them . i do n't mind troubling you . rafe : yeah , no kidding . spinelli : you appear to enjoy troubling people , dr. clay , and while it is not uncommon for doctors to manifest a god complex , you are taking it to extremes . silas : noted , thank you . if you want your son to live , you will start facing the fact that a bone - marrow transplant is the only cure and is most likely what danny will need . rafe : would you stop ? you 're scaring her . silas : good . spinelli : good ? ! silas : she needs to get it out of her system , right here , right now . you need to prepare for this , sam . if the treatment continues the way i 'm expecting , we 're gon na need to jump in with that donated bone marrow immediately . you should be looking for a match right now . [ scene_break ] felix : excuse me ? you and tj ? taylor : never mind . felix : that 's right , i wo n't mind , and neither will you . there is no `` you and tj . `` it 's `` tj and molly . `` you should n't be trying to come between that . they 're almost back on track . taylor : oh , yeah ? then why did he sleep with me the other night ? [ scene_break ] tj : oh , my god , molly ! it 's okay . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm a total jerk . molly : no , you 're not . tj : yeah , i am . i did n't even bother asking you what happened . i just assumed the worst and bit your head off . we were n't even together . molly : no , but i get it . i mean , if our positions were reversed , i 'd hate thinking about you with someone else . molly : tj ... tj : uh ... molly : ... what 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] felix : when i called you out on your walk of shame , i was referring to you staying out all night . i mean , i knew there 'd been some drinking and maybe perhaps some close contact in the back of the limo , but i was sure it would n't go any farther . taylor : well , then you were wrong . relax , okay ? we were totally safe , and it 's not like it was my first time . felix : well , surprisingly , that 's not a comfort . taylor : look , there 's no point in freaking out about it now , okay ? it 's over and done . felix : then i guess i should congratulate you . mission accomplished . you wanted tj , and now you got him . taylor : i guess so . felix : what -- what do you mean , you guess so ? taylor : to tell you the truth , he has n't called me since . [ scene_break ] tj : it 's nothing . uh ... do n't worry about it . molly : are you sure ? tj : yeah , i 'm sure . molly : okay . well , um ... now that we 've got everything out in the open , what do you think about us maybe getting back together ? [ scene_break ] britt : i realize my emotions have been all over the place . i mean , pregnancy hormones will do that . but i promise you , patrick , you are the father of this child , and i 'm willing to prove it . sabrina : how , britt -- by taking another test ? the whole reason we went behind your back was to make sure your little buddy brad did n't get his hands on the results . britt : yeah , which is why i tore them up -- to make a point of you violating my privacy . patrick : britt , you did n't tear those test results up to teach us a lesson about following rules . you did it because you 're lying . the baby 's not mine . britt : no , you 're wrong , and i 'm willing to prove it . i 'll take a new test , which will be completely aboveboard . in fact , i mean , if it makes you feel any better , i 'll even let miss trout run it -- not that it 's necessary . i mean , if you completed the previous test , you already know the outcome . patrick : is that true , ellie ? do you know the results of the test ? ellie : yes . i do . [ scene_break ] luke : wait a minute . are you saying that somebody here in the chuckles was poisoned with polonium ? are there russian spies here i did n't know about ? anna : no . it 's related to the toxins that were put into the water supply during the summit . you remember that ? luke : yes , poisoning the well -- literally . anna : you and i -- we were out of the country at the time . we were in switzerland . so , when i got back , i got a full debriefing , but , apparently , the agents that i spoke to failed to mention this interview that they had with jasper jacks . luke : jax knows something about it ? anna : yeah . according to him , his brother was shot with a polonium - laced bullet . now , even though the bullet was removed , the resulting radiation poisoning was killing jerry . so , the ransom that he asked for the antitoxin -- you know , $ 88 million -- so , that must have been the amount he needed for the cure for him . a - a - and that 's an extraordinary amount for a legitimate hospital to charge . luke : i wonder ... if the seller was helena . [ scene_break ] dante : are you serious ? now you want to know the sex of the baby ? lulu : yeah , it seems as good a time as any . we 're here . dante : you 're sure ? 'cause , i mean , you made a pretty huge deal about wanting to be surprised . lulu : yes , i did , but i started thinking about all the stuff that we have to do to get ready for the baby , and i 'm excited -- slightly overwhelmed . it would be easier if we know if we 're having a girl or a boy . dante : all right . no argument from me , okay ? lulu : okay . dante : what are we waiting for ? lulu : oh , uh , maxie , you 're all right with this ? maxie : me ? lulu : yeah . you are the one carrying our baby . you 're as much a part of this as we are . maxie : it 's your baby . i just want what 's best for the three of you . dante : okay , doc . so , what are we having -- a boy or a girl ? [ scene_break ] sam : okay . silas : what 's okay ? sam : well , if you 're telling me that danny needs a bone - marrow transplant , then that 's what he 's gon na get . where do i find a donor ? silas : well , the good thing is no one has to die to be a bone - marrow donor . you 're not giving up anything you ca n't make more of yourself . rafe : could i be danny 's donor ? silas : you can get yourself tested , rafe , but it 's unlikely . donation calls for a very specific match . sam : how specific ? silas : well , preferably , immediate family , ideally , parents , siblings , and since the father 's dead -- right ? spinelli : thanks for putting that so delicately . silas : you need to get yourself tested right away , sam . you 're danny 's best shot . sam : what if i 'm not a match ? silas : well , then you need to start looking at danny 's closest living relatives . [ scene_break ] molly : okay , while i admit you 're under no obligation to answer my question , and i was risking total humiliation by even asking you if you wanted to get back together , could you please do me a favor and say something ? tj : molly , i 'm sorry . listen , there 's nothing i want more than to get back together with you , but i 've done some really stupid things that i do n't think you can forgive me for . molly : i know . i know . we 've both made mistakes . i - i should have been more understanding , especially since you were right -- rafe did have feelings for me . tj : and that kiss ? molly : completely on his side . i told you , the only thing i feel for rafe is friendship . tj : i wish i would have listened . molly : yeah , you should have trusted me , but i should have talked to you about it instead of just getting upset . if i had , maybe none of this would have happened . tj : maybe . molly : so , what if we erase everything that 's happened these past few months -- just forget about all the mistakes we 've both made and try this again ? tj : you mean it ? molly : yeah . none of that stuff matters . all that matters is us . tj : i think i can give this another shot , too . [ scene_break ] felix : hold up . are you saying that this kid slept with you on prom night and then never called you ? taylor : well , i mean , when you say it like that -- felix , wait . where are you going ? felix : i 've always liked tj . i almost feel bad i 'm gon na have to kick his ass . taylor : what are you talking about ? felix : nobody treats my sister like that ! i do n't care who they are ! taylor : felix , no ! you do n't need to do that . felix : the hell i do n't ! tj needs to learn a lesson in basic respect and manners . taylor : no , trust me , okay ? i appreciate you wanting to , like , protect me , but i can handle this , okay ? besides , it 's not like i tried calling him , either . felix : so ? taylor : well , so this could all just be some misunderstanding . you do n't need to kick his ass . [ chuckles ] but it means a lot that you wanted to . [ scene_break ] ellie : as we discussed , i ran the test personally , so ... i did see the results . sabrina : ellie , why did n't you say anything before ? ellie : i 'm just here to provide information . it 's really not my place to intervene in any personal conflicts . britt : i admire your professionalism , miss trout . but this concerns my child , and since we all want to put this matter to bed , so to speak , i 'm giving you my permission . if you would , please reveal the results . ellie : i 'm sorry , dr. drake ... but you are the baby 's father . patrick : you sure ? ellie : yeah , i 'm ... absolutely positive . [ scene_break ] lulu : [ laughs ] dante : i do n't even know what to say . lulu : is this what you wanted ? dante : it 's fine . i just wanted a healthy baby . yes , this is exactly what i wanted . lulu : me too . oh , my gosh .

bill : i 'm sure you understand the value of privacy in business . if i start giving out personal information on my customers , pretty soon , i do n't have a business . sam : no , of course we understand . maybe you would change your mind if you knew that this was a special case . bill : oh , yeah . you know , everybody thinks their case is special . sam : okay , why do n't you hear me out , and then you decide ? the car that we are talking about was involved in an accident , and it ran another car off the road and fled the scene , and we 're hoping that if we find the car , we 'll find the person that was responsible for the accident . bill : this sounds like a matter for the police . are you a cop ? carly : franco , we need to go now . franco : not until i hear from sonny how much he appreciates what i 've done for him -- what i 'm still doing for him . carly : he knows , okay ? sonny : let me -- hey . let me hear it . i want to hear what he 's got to say about this -- franco : i heard a recording of you killing a man , and i have kept my mouth shut about it . in exchange for my discretion , i would appreciate it if you would keep your hands off of my girlfriend . sonny : [ chuckles ] how am i supposed to answer that ? how -- how long do i have to keep putting up with this ? carly : you know , i do n't want to get into a big fight about this . it 's not good for us . sonny : how long are you gon na keep protecting him ? honestly ? franco : is this a private conversation , or do ... carly : you know what ? franco : ... you think i can join in ? carly : you are completely overreacting . franco : i 'm not talking to you . i want to hear it from sonny . michael : please do n't tell me you 're looking for a , uh , pen . tracy : a pen . michael : right , 'cause that 's what everybody says when they get caught snooping . tracy : oh , no , i was n't snooping . michael : they also say that . tracy : no , i , uh , needed a pen to sign these . michael : pen ? tracy : thank you . michael : which are ... ? tracy : my annulment papers from luke spencer . michael : right , and you could n't sign them anywhere else but here on my desk in my office with my pen ? tracy : well , yes , of course , i could , but you wanted proof that i was ... through with luke , and here it is , fresh from my lawyers . michael : you got an annulment that quickly ? tracy : i did because luke married me , uh , under false pretenses , and i 'm a quartermaine . michael : fair enough . tracy : i got an annulment based on fraud ... and all i have to do is sign on the dotted line ... and this hideous mistake of a marriage will be as if it never happened . so , i want you to watch me do this . voilà . done . goodbye , luke spencer , and hello , elq , if you 'll have me . levi : so , what do you think of that ? maxie : well , it looks like elq 's turning all those old , run - down waterfront buildings into high - end apartments , boutiques , and sidewalk cafés . levi : exactly . so , what do you think of elq now ? maxie : well , i think that that 's great . i mean , i love shopping and food .

i bet mac will help you cover all the nail holes . levi : maxie , this is n't about you getting an apartment in the new waterfront district . maxie : then what is this about ? levi : the waterfront district . maxie : what 's wrong with a brand - new waterfront ? levi : what 's wrong is that when people are paying $ 500 for pairs of shoes and $ 10 for a cappuccino and paying these exorbitant amounts of money in rent , what happens to the little guy ? maxie : what little guy ? levi : the little guy who ca n't afford to live in the neighborhood anymore . maxie : oh . i did n't really think about it like that . levi : maxie , this is what we need to focus on . we need to fight for the little guy who ca n't fight for himself . we need to put a stop to this project . morgan : um , what 's wrong with rafe ? kiki : [ sighs ] he 's in trouble . morgan : what kind of trouble ? kiki : when i saw him at my dad 's , he seemed to be in a bad way . morgan : well , can you be more specific ? like , is he upset about a girl or going on a crime spree ? kiki : uh , a little bit of both . i - i think he -- i mean , he 's not over molly , but it 's -- it 's worse than that . he stole money from sam , and i told him that he should just admit it to her , but ... morgan : well , i - i mean , i hope he listens , 'cause sam 's not gon na judge . i mean , she 's been through some shady moments in her past . she 's not one to , you know , judge anyone 's screw - ups . kiki : i - i know . i - i do n't -- i do n't think he 's afraid to tell her that he stole the money . i think he 's afraid to tell her why . morgan : why ? why did he do it ? kiki : i do n't know . he would n't tell me . but i -- what can be so bad that he would n't be able to tell sam ? sam loves him . she would n't -- she would n't just cut him off because of some stupid mistake . whatever it is , it ca n't be as bad as it seems . molly : yes . i forgive you . rafe : really ? molly : as long as you finally , finally understand and accept that i am with tj , and that 's not gon na change . rafe : yes , yes , i absolutely understand and accept that . okay , and i know i 've said that before , but this time it 's different , molly . you know , the only thing worse than not being able to be your boyfriend has been not having you as a friend . molly : yeah , i miss that , too . rafe : then do you think -- i do n't know -- i 'd -- i 'd really love it if we could go back to that . you know , when we first met , bonding over `` a streetcar named desire . `` molly : when you gave me the flower from the table at kelly 's and called it `` flores para los muertos . `` rafe : `` flowers for the dead . `` sam : no , i 'm -- i 'm not a cop . i 'm a p.i . , and i have been hired to work this case , so any information that you could give me would be a great help . bill : well , you know , i 'd like to help you . i mean that . but i ca n't compromise my customer base , okay ? patrick : [ scoffs ] bill : [ sighs ] look , why do n't you go to the police , get a warrant , and come back ? i 'll give you all the information you need , ready and waiting here for you , once i know everything is on the up - and - up . sam : okay . okay . fair enough . patrick : fair enough , sam ? sam : let 's just go outside , breathe , give nathan a call . see if he can help us . patrick : how long is that gon na take ? sam : i do n't know . it 's his case . he 's gon na want to close this fast . trust me . thank you for your time , bill . patrick : i 'm sorry , sir . i got to talk to you for a second . bill : you know , if you 're gon na offer me money for information again -- patrick : i am sorry that i insulted you . i - i admire your ethics . bill : oh , yeah . do you , now ? patrick : i do , and if you just understood the circumstance , i think you would make a different decision . please , it 's a matter of life and death . bill : a matter of life and death ? patrick : yes . bill : yeah , the accident was in april . it 's almost fourth of july . patrick : i understand that . bill : yeah , well , why is it suddenly a matter of life and death ? sam : hey , patrick , we do n't need to do this right now . we can call nathan . patrick : sam , that 's gon na take too long . sam : maybe an hour . that 's it . patrick : or maybe a day or a week , or maybe it 's not gon na happen . listen , i know that you 're reluctant to give your customers ' private information away -- i do . bill : okay , well , then why do n't you stop asking and listen to the lady ? patrick : because the person that was driving this car -- the car that we 're looking for -- they ran my family off the road . my 8-year - old daughter was in the car . a woman that i care very much for was in the car , also , and she was pregnant with my baby , okay ? because of the accident , she had the baby premature -- four months -- on the side of the road , and the baby died . bill : well , i 'm very sorry for your loss . patrick : the car did n't stop . they did n't call for help . they hit the guardrail , and they kept going , so i think you can understand that i need to find the person who was driving this car . rafe : i 'm really sorry about your dad again . he seemed like a cool guy ... in a terrifying kind of way , though . what made him seem so cool was i could tell he really loved you . molly : thank you . i just -- i ca n't get used to the idea that he 's never coming back . you know , when someone 's gone , they 're gone forever . there 's no way to bring them back . rafe : i 'm gon na go . molly : well , are you sure you do n't want to wait ? rafe : yeah , i 'll -- i 'll talk to sam later . see you later . kiki : i just wish rafe had confided in me . i know we have n't known each other long , but we 're still family . that 's what i 'm here for . morgan : [ chuckles ] kiki : what ? morgan : no , i just -- i think it 's nice that you 're so concerned . kiki : well , it 's nice for me , too . i 'm an only child . morgan : that you know of . kiki : [ chuckles ] really , though , i only grew up with my mom . i did n't have any cousins . i did n't have an uncle or known mob connections . morgan : well , and now your life is an embarrassment of riches . kiki : [ sighs ] my whole life , i just grew up wanting a brother or a sister that i could talk to and confide in . morgan : yeah . it was , you know -- it was great having mikey when i was growing up . even , you know , when we were little , he took care of -- of molly and kristina and me and now joss . go figure why he 's so serious . kiki : [ chuckles ] yeah . he 's pretty serious . morgan : yeah . i - i could talk to him about anything , though . he -- he always had my back . he was the one person that understood all the craziness that came with having sonny and carly corinthos as parents and what it was like to be part of that family , which , weirdly enough , now you and i are sort of family . kiki : um , yeah . i guess . the way we got there was n't exactly conventional , but ... morgan : no . kiki : i am really glad to have you back in my life . morgan : well , never really left it . kiki : [ chuckles ] it 's nice to be a part of your family , too . morgan : [ chuckles ] well , since you are a part of my family , then you wo n't mind helping me with this . michael : well , i 'm no lawyer , but everything seems to be in order . tracy : michael , by all means , have your lawyers review them . uh , i 'm sure they 'll find it 's completely aboveboard . michael : i - i do n't have any doubts . [ inhales deeply ] so [ exhales deeply ] in that case , welcome back to elq . tracy : [ exhales deeply ] thank you , michael . michael : yeah . tracy : i think this is gon na be the start of a very productive relationship . i ca n't wait to start work . michael : yeah , i 'm sure elq will be all the better for your return . tracy : thank you for saying that . i will make sure of it . um , by the way , when i was looking for the pen , i could n't help but notice this waterfront project . it looks exciting . would you mind if i took a look at it ? sonny : you -- you think i owe you something for your silence ? franco : i would appreciate it if you would show me a little appreciation . sonny : you above ground ? you walking around ? no broken ribs . your -- your lungs are breathing in , you know , air instead of water . you 're welcome . franco : as much as i would like to thank you for not killing me , i 'm pretty sure the only reason you 're doing that is because of carly . sonny : you got a problem with -- with my -- you know , me and my ex - wife , you know , the mother of my children , that 's fine by me . i 'll just -- i 'll just dump your sorry ass in the trunk of a car and watch that machine squeeze you into , like , a -- it 's like a little cube . carly : no , you wo n't . you -- you need to trust me . franco : i do trust you , carly . carly : [ scoffs ] franco : i just need to hear from him that he 's gon na keep his distance from you . sonny : or else what , franco ? franco : maybe i wo n't remain silent . sonny : okay , so , as you can see , your threats -- they do n't really do anything to me , so whatever you want to hear , forget it . franco : do n't say i did n't warn you . carly : franco ? franco ! sonny : [ exhales deeply ] rafe : flores para los muertos . flowers for the dead . [ inhales , exhales deeply ] bill : all right . give me a second . patrick : [ sighs ] bill : there it is . patrick : thank you . sam : yes , thank you very much . [ bell dings ] bill : uh , well , i 've got another customer , so ... sam : of course . bill : be , uh -- be my guest . okay ? sam : thank you . patrick : [ clears throat ] sam : oh ... my god . michael : so , you 're really interested in the waterfront revitalization project ? tracy : sure . why not ? michael : well , i just -- it 's kind of local for you . but sure . have at it . tracy : great . great . i 'll go find an office and get started on it right now . thanks , michael . michael : all right . tracy : it 's official ! i 'm in . and i think michael just handed me the keys to my kingdom . morgan : this is fun , right ? kiki : oh , yeah , totally . [ chuckles ] morgan : yeah , it 's not just for free rent . it 's a good cause , too . kiki : it 's a great cause . what is that cause , again ? morgan : uh , urban renewal . i do n't know . [ both chuckle ] kiki : yeah , awesome cause . morgan : what project has mikey gotten us into right now ? levi : that 's what we 'd like to know . we read about your so - called revitalization project in the paper , and we 're here to shut it down . carly : i am sorry about that . i really am . sonny : i do n't need an apology . i just need you to keep a leash on your boyfriend . carly : you can not take what franco said seriously . sonny : why are you even with that psycho ? after everything he 's done , carly ? carly : he 's changed , sonny . sonny : changed ? carly : yes . sonny : yeah , he 's changed . i do n't see he 's changed . carly : he 's upset . sonny : he 's upset ? carly : yeah . sonny : because why ? 'cause he caught me hugging you ? carly : you know what ? i do n't want to have that conversation with you . you both bring out the worst in each other , and for that reason alone , i am going to keep you guys as far apart as possible . sonny : okay , where do you think he 's going right now ? to the cops ? carly : no . no . come on . trust me , all right ? franco 's not gon na tell anyone that you shot aj . michael : franco . michael : hello , michael . before you call security , i just need a minute of your time . | levi tells maxie that the elq waterfront renovation project is an example of corporate greed pushing out the little guy and that they should fight for the little guy . michael takes morgan to bobbie 's former brownstone and says that his brother can live there rent - free , but he will have to renovate it himself . morgan is happy to have something to focus on besides sonny , ava , and the baby . kiki stops by after michael leaves and tells morgan that she wants in on his deal . she reveals that rafe is in trouble and that she is worried about him . rafe apologizes to molly for all the hurtful things he did to her and tj out of jealousy . she forgives him . sam takes a sample of the paint on the guard rail to find out if anyone tried to match it at a local car repair shop . they find the shop but bill , the owner , does n't want to give out client information . patrick pleads his case . bill allows sam to retrieve the information from his computer . sam is shocked by what she finds . rafe goes to the crash site and places flowers by the guardrail for the dead baby . |
jason : hey . sam : hey . you 've been gone for hours . i was worrying . jason : sorry . i , um , i 've been a bit busy . i 've , uh , stopped everyone i saw in a five - mile radius of lynch manor . i asked if they saw nikolas . if they have , they 're not talking . but , then again , we are in the country . not a lot of people around , you know ? sam : [ sighs ] so basically , our chances of finding nikolas are getting worse all the time . jason : pretty much . [ scene_break ] ava : oh . nikolas : what ? ava : nikolas . nikolas : hmm ? what ? ava : nikolas ! nikolas : what ? huh ? ava : uh , what happened last night ? [ scene_break ] monica : why are you both here ? is someone sick ? who 's in the exam room ? tracy : monica , relax . i - i was seeing the doctor that was assigned to my case . you should be thrilled that i 'm following your asinine rules . it 's ridiculous that you will not allow dr. finn to see patients . and by the way , you are gon na owe him a big , fat apology . monica : why are you here ? michael : um , i - i was driving tracy . uh , she 's still frail from her illness . [ scene_break ] sabrina : what do you think is wrong with my son ? finn : right now , i ca n't say . but i promise you , i 'm gon na figure it out . felix : dr. finn is a brilliant diagnostician . teddy 's in good hands . felix , you 're about to break about a dozen rules , so i understand if you 're uncomfortable assisting me any further . felix : for teddy and sabrina , i 'll do anything . sabrina : oh , thank you . please help him . please . finn : i will . [ scene_break ] julian : um ... i was just picking up some things . obviously , i had no idea that you would be home . but , you know , it 's good to see you . how are you ? alexis : considering that i spent the night in jail for a murder you committed , not great . julian : right , right . well , i mean , you 're out . so what happened ? i mean , is it too much to hope that the charges against you were dropped ? alexis : yeah . yeah , it is . i was arraigned . i posted bail . and now i 'm released until my trial date . carlos : it 's fate . she 's out of jail . you two are all alone . it 's the perfect opportunity to rid yourself of the one person who could send you to prison for the rest of your life . kill her . kill her now . julian : [ sighs ] well , i knew the , uh , i knew the court would go easy on you . if i would have been arrested , i probably would have been forced to stay in jail until my trial . alexis : probably . julian : well , i at least wish you would have let me know about your arraignment . you know , i could have been there to support you , to post bail for you . alexis : i do n't want your support . i do n't want your money . i do n't want anything from you , so do us both a favor . leave . carlos : find a reason to stay . julian : [ scoffs ] i told you , alexis . i 'm your husband . we took vows . we 're gon na be together until death do us part . alexis : will you stop ? julian : i love you , so let me take care of you . alexis : okay . stop pretending that this marriage means anything to you , because if it did , you would n't have gone after carlos in the first place . julian : everything i 've done , i 've done for us . i mean ... alexis : you keep saying that . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : that 's the worst thing you could say to me . julian : okay . fine , but ... i - i 'm not leaving you , especially when you look so tired and exhausted . alexis : i look like this because of what you 've done . [ scoffs ] i 'm gon na be sick . [ groans and runs upstairs ] carlos : well , that went well . julian : [ sighs ] carlos : you 're losing your touch , killer . julian : i was being sincere . carlos : mm - hmm . julian : i do n't want to kill her . i - i love alexis . i want to take care of her . so just leave me alone . go -- go away . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sam : i 've been checking with the hotel in london like every hour . so far , no sign of nikolas or ava . they have n't gone back . jason : [ inhales deeply ] not surprising . sam : spinelli 's been working with me remotely . he was able to hack into the local car - rental service while i went to the bus station , and nikolas did not rent a car or take a bus . and the town 's too small for a train , so we can cross that off the list . and there is one car service like two towns away , and they said they did n't hear about him , either , so ... jason : if he 's on foot , i could n't imagine that he would get very far . unless ... you do n't think he 'd steal a car , do you ? sam : nikolas ? no . that 's not his style . then again , he is with ava jerome . [ scene_break ] nikolas : no sign of anyone . so if huxley 's still looking for us , he 's looking for us in the wrong place . ava : good . that 's one less thing to worry about . [ clears throat ] um , nikolas ... can we talk about last night ? i mean , what happened ... between you and me ? the last thing i remember is just swigging from this bottle here , and then the rest of it is just kind of a blur , so ... what happened ? nikolas : nothing inappropriate . you spilled some of this rotgut liquor on your clothes . i gave you my shirt , and like the gentleman that i am , i stepped out when you put it on . but i can assure you , everything was very modest and appropriate . ava : [ chuckles ] so , we just fell asleep . nikolas : [ chuckles ] well , to thank me for my heroics in saving your life with that crazy scottish woman , you allowed me to share your tarp . ava : that was generous of me . nikolas : i would n't want to be .... kidnapped with anyone else . [ chuckles ] look , i really need to keep moving . ava : you have a plan ? nikolas : yeah . i need to get the hell out of england as soon as possible . ava : well , before huxley kidnapped us , you were planning on going to amsterdam ? is that where you 're planning to live out the rest of your years as a dead man ? nikolas : no . the destination has changed . ava : w - where you headed ? [ scene_break ] monica : if you 're here to see dr. delancey , why are you on the pediatric floor ? delancey 's office is on 6 . tracy : is it ? oh . [ chuckles ] i was misinformed . why do n't you show me exactly where i 'm supposed to go ? monica : tracy , obviously , you do n't want me to go into that room . why ? michael : [ stammers ] grandmother , why are you giving tracy such a hard time ? you 're kind of overreacting here . monica : because , michael , she 's lying to me , and so are you . both of you are . now , who is in there ? tracy : monica , come with me . i need to talk to you . monica : let go ! what are you doing ? tracy : wait . [ scene_break ] sabrina : do n't worry , teddy . mama 's here . dr. finn and uncle felix are gon na take really good care of you , and you 're gon na be feeling better in no time . michael : hey . how 's he doing ? finn : blood pressure 's normal . felix : no fever , either . finn : his pulse is fine . let me ask you , does teddy normally drool this much ? sabrina : um , well , that started last night . i thought that maybe he 'd be cutting his first tooth . finn : it 's a little early , but he could be . sabrina : do you think that maybe he could have caught something from all the traveling i 've put him through ? finn : what countries has he been to ? sabrina : well , he was born in canada , and then , um , then we flew to the grand keys . finn : how long did you stay ? sabrina : five days . finn : okay . sabrina : um , and then , um ... finn : what else ? sabrina : we went to -- to london , and then -- and then we went to brussels . finn : good . how long were you in each city ? sabrina : [ voice breaking ] um , london three days , and then brussels another three days , and then we went to puerto rico , and we stayed there for about a month . and then i sent him here . god . god knows what i exposed teddy to , because i chose to go on the run with carlos . finn : okay . teddy 's been in port charles how long ? michael : uh , may 17th . sabrina : god , please do n't let teddy pay for my horrible mistakes . michael : sabrina , you 're not being punished , okay ? neither is teddy . sabrina : michael , i ca n't lose him . finn : sabrina , i need you to focus . sabrina : okay . finn : okay ? all right , i need you to think , all right ? i need you to tell me anything you observed over the last few days that would be out of the ordinary for teddy . sabrina : um ... well , i - i started to notice that he was n't quite himself last night . he seemed ... i - i do n't know , tired . dr. obrecht : dr. finn . gott sei dank ( thank god ) i got here before you could kill another patient . [ scene_break ] monica : ow , ow ! tracy ! you are so not frail , that is for sure . just tell me what 's going -- valerie : is everything okay , dr. quartermaine ? tracy : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : dr. finn , step away from that child ! what are you doing ? ! sabrina : please , dr. obrecht , my baby needs treatment . there 's something horribly wrong with him . michael : dr. finn saw teddy at the house and said we had to come here immediately . dr. obrecht : he 's tricking you ! you can not listen to this man ! dr. finn has been suspended under suspicion of killing several patients ! michael : we do n't care . felix : dr. o , let finn do his job . please . dr. obrecht : stop this illegal activity at once ! finn : no . dr. obrecht : security will arrest you . finn : get her out of here . michael : sorry about this . dr. obrecht : oh ! stop ! what are you doing ? ! let me go ! ow ! ah ! dr. finn ! you will regret this ! open this door immediately ! finn : have you started teddy on solid foods yet ? dr. obrecht : you are committing a crime , dr. finn ! [ pounds on door ] [ scene_break ] alexis : okay . [ sighs ] you can do it . just keep it together , alexis . just keep it together . [ sighs ] all you have to do is just push `` record `` and get him to admit that he killed carlos . [ sighs ] julian : get out of my head . just -- carlos : you 're stuck with me , amigo . we 're a team , just like when i was your right - hand man for all those years . julian : you worked for me . i used you against my enemies . a - alexis is my wife . carlos : and alexis is a bigger threat than any of your enemies ever were . julian : [ scoffs ] carlos : now , you -- you need to make her death look accidental . poison , maybe . antifreeze , drain opener , oven cleaner . i do n't know . she 's already sick . just make her sicker . julian : how are you ? alexis : i think i caught some sort of bug in that jail cell . julian : oh , i 'm sorry . that -- that sounds miserable . do you , uh ... would you like me to make you some tea ? i 'll make you some tea . alexis : uh , yes . please . julian : okay . i 'll , uh , i 'll be right back . alexis : oh , damn . the battery 's dead . julian : what kind of tea would you like ? alexis : [ gasps ] uh ... julian : oh , i got it . alexis : no , i got it . julian : i got it , i got it , i got it . hey , you 're lucky . no damage . i 'll tell you what . i will bring this into the kitchen . i 'll charge it up with the supercharger . alexis : it 's okay , 'cause my charger 's right over here . julian : no , alexis , alexis , i 'll bring it right back . you know , you 're a little jumpy , so how about we , uh , stay away from the caffeine ? would you like some , uh , chamomile tea ? alexis : fine . julian : chamomile coming right up . carlos : okay , now we 're getting somewhere . what kind of poison you gon na put in the tea ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jason : so , i just talked to the bartender , and apparently , this town is smaller than we thought . like , it 's small . everyone knows everyone . they know their business . and according to him , if somebody had stolen a car , the word would be out . sam : okay , um , we checked every single barn and outbuilding last night . i - i do n't know what else to do , then . jason : well , i 'm gon na head back out . the fog has finally lifted . you know , ava and nikolas might have been holed up somewhere , and now they want to get on the move again . sam : too bad we ca n't just ask huxley and his girlfriend for a sworn statement that they saw nikolas alive . jason : yeah , they do n't exactly make the best witnesses . and besides , i do n't think they want to help us out . sam : [ scoffs ] they seemed pretty eager to help us last night . jason : yeah , that 's because all he cares about is that statue . and if we had found ava , yeah , maybe he would have cooperated . maybe , anyway . i do n't think we 're gon na see him again . sam : okay . okay , i 'm -- i 'm gon na check the port charles news . maybe the police have caught on to nikolas and the warrant for your arrest has been lifted . jason : oh , yeah . that sounds a little too easy , but ... sam : [ sighs ] a girl can dream . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'm not gon na tell you where i 'm going . what if there 's a reward for information about me ? [ scoffs ] you 'd be the first person in line . ava : i have n't sold you out yet , have i ? nikolas : well , not that i know of . but the first thing you thought when you saw me was to wonder how it would benefit you . ava : well ... even if that were true , we 've been through a lot together since then . i would n't have gotten away from huxley without you . nikolas : look ... you do n't need to concern yourself with me anymore . this is over for you . and now that we 've escaped huxley and all that insanity back there , you can go home and be with your daughters . ava : no . actually , i ca n't . [ scene_break ] tracy : oh , thank you , officer . um , my sister - in - law lost her balance . she has a problem with , um , her equilibrium , and i was just helping her . valerie : is that true ? monica : mm ? oh , uh ...

[ door opens ] valerie : dr. finn , move away from the baby . you 're under arrest . [ scene_break ] nikolas : why ca n't you go back to port charles ? are you in some kind of trouble there ? ava : actually , the trouble started here ... with huxley lynch , and i 'm afraid if i go home ... he 'll find me . nikolas : why ? what does he want from you ? the statue turned out to be fake . he has no reason to go after you , does he ? ava : mm , he seems extremely motivated to find that real weeping naiad . nikolas : which you do n't have , correct ? ava : that 's what i told him . nikolas : and you were lying . you have the original piece . you made a copy so that you could sell the forgery , so when huxley kidnapped you , kidnapped us , it impeded you from committing fraud ? ava : oh ! [ chuckles ] that is such an unattractive word . no , i prefer to say that i was ... dealing in a piece with ... questionable provenance . nikolas : and so the real weeping naiad is ... ? ava : in a safe place . nikolas : you had me completely snowed . ava : do n't feel bad . nikolas : we could have been killed . risk your own life , but do n't risk mine . ava : you have no right to criticize . you 're pretending to be dead knowing full well that jason morgan is being blamed for your murder . [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i 'm heading out . uh , if i ca n't find them , then we have to assume that we missed them , so do me a favor . call spinelli . if nikolas is heading to amsterdam , then maybe he can trace him . sam : oh , my ... god . jason : what ? sam : my mother has been arrested . jason : what ? for what ? sam : for killing carlos rivera . [ scene_break ] carlos : did you add the secret ingredient to alexis ' tea , something toxic ? julian : [ sighs ] here you go . this should help settle your stomach . i brought you some crackers , too . alexis : thank you . julian : [ sighs ] you know , i 've missed you . i really hate what 's happened to us . alexis : yeah , i do n't like it , either .

[ laughs ] my reactions ? you go down to save sonny . you get shot . and now you think i 'm overreacting ? jason : i 'm not saying that you do n't have the right to be worried . i just do n't understand where it 's coming from . and maybe we should ... sam : maybe we should what ? jason : maybe we should see a doctor . [ scene_break ] hayden : so , we 're all in agreement . curtis : uh , prove that obrecht was switching doc finn 's test . yep . hayden : good . finn : yeah . hayden : good , okay . [ footsteps approaching ] monica : oh . curtis : hi , monica . monica : hello . clearly , i have walked in on something . hayden : no . no , curtis was just filling us in on , you know , what 's going on with him . monica : uh , you see , this house has hatched more schemes than in the cia , and i 've seen it all , so you might as well be truthful . hayden : it 's nothing . really . finn : monica 's been good to me . i think i owe her the truth . hayden : even if it gets you fired ? finn : mm - hmm . monica : okay , i was kind of kidding before . i 'm not now . you need to tell me the truth . finn : i believe a doctor at the hospital has been tampering with my drug screens to make it look like i 'm still using . monica : whew . [ exhales sharply ] that 's a pretty serious accusation . uh , you have any proof ? curtis : well , that 's why i 'm here -- to go collect evidence . with your permission , of course . monica : you want me to sign off on a plot to target one of my doctors ? finn : well , there 's doctors , and then there 's obrecht . monica : what 's your plan ? [ scene_break ] carly : if you want to have this conversation , we need to have it . who 's gon na fill your shoes ? we do n't want the kids involved . sonny : never . carly : okay , then , who ? it ca n't be jason . sonny : well , he did just come out here to help us out . carly : yes , because he 's our friend . he 's our very loyal friend , but we ca n't ask jason to sacrifice his new life just so we can have ours . sonny : five years ago , he would have stepped up -- no questions asked . he would have done a great job , and -- and i would have been able to let go because i would have felt like everything was okay . [ sighs ] carly : i know . that was five years ago . sonny : mm - hmm . carly : but jason 's changed , you know ? he has a different life now . sonny : he not only has -- not only does he have a different life . he 's different ! carly : i know . and i agree with you . but that brings us back to square one . if it 's not jason , it 's no one . it 's you . [ cell phone ringing ] [ scene_break ] alexis : thank you for sitting with me . julian : hm . alexis : it 's the first time that i 've had an urge to drink in a -- in a while , and the next time , i 'll follow protocol and i 'll call my sponsor . i -- i do n't -- did n't mean to bother you . julian : you 're not bothering me , alexis . just the opposite , actually . alexis : do n't do this . we are over . we 're over . julian : are we talking tonight ... or for good ? [ scene_break ] kristina : so it 's true ? some guy came after you ? sonny : nothing came of it . how do you -- how do you even know ? kristina : that 's beside the point . i just want to know if you 're okay . sonny : yeah , i 'm fine . carly 's fine . jason got a little nick , but it 's nothing . kristina : no , it 's not nothing ! i 'm sorry . [ sighs ] never mind . sonny : kristina , what 's going on ? kristina : i just wish you 'd stop acting like this . sonny : like what , sweetheart ? kristina : like it 's normal . some guy comes after you and tries to kill you , but it 's not a big deal . it 's just a part of the business . i thought things were going to change after morgan , but they did n't . am i an idiot -- you know , to hope for something better ? sonny : you 're not an idiot , sweetheart ! do n't say that . kristina : [ sighs ] i 'm just tired of getting phone calls and hearing that someone 's hurt or showing up at the hospital and wondering if someone 's going to live or die . am i an idiot to hope for -- like , want a normal life ? sonny : i promise you , things are gon na change . kristina : no . i ca n't take one more of your empty promises . just get home safe , okay ? sonny : kristina , okay , listen to -- [ cell phone beeps ] sonny : she hung up on me . [ scene_break ] curtis : well ? what do you think ? hayden : obviously , there are risks . monica : well , the plan kind of hinges on fooling liesl obrecht , and she is not a woman who is easily fooled . are you any good ? hayden : i 've -- i 've hired curtis before . he 's -- he 's very thorough . in fact , he 's worked with your son , jason . you could ask him how skilled he is . monica : ah , well , i do know that jason only hires the best , so i think i can probably work with you . finn : oh , well , uh , all we 're really asking is for you to look the other way . monica : oh , i 'm sorry , that is n't gon na happen . hayden : well , we would never expect you -- monica : what ? ask me to go against one of my doctors ? we 're talking liesl obrecht here . and it 's quite believable that she would sabotage finn . finn : yes , well , knowing it and proving it are two very different things . monica : i know . and if we come up empty , then i will take the hit . but i do n't think we 're going to . and , look -- liesl took my job from me once . she 's now just biding her time to do it again . uh , do you have plans tonight ? curtis : what did you have in mind ? monica : [ chuckles ] a field trip . [ scene_break ] alexis : what did sonny say ? kristina : he 's fine . everyone 's fine . i did n't ask for details , because i know i 'd only get a g - rated version and a pat on the head and a promise that everything 's going to be okay . same as always . alexis : i 'm sorry , honey . kristina : i 'm gon na go pick up my order and let you and julian not be together , or whatever . julian : no , it 's okay . i really was on my way out . but i will say that i 'm glad your dad 's okay . kristina : julian , wait . whatever you told jason , it made him worried enough to go down to the island in time to save my dad 's life . so thank you . julian : you 're welcome . [ scene_break ] carly : sorry that kristina hung up on you . i understand her frustration , though . i must seem like a really big hypocrite to you . sonny : in what way ? carly : changing the rules , especially this late in the game . i knew what i was getting into . i chose to have a life with you and all of its consequences , and ... and now i just ca n't follow through . sonny : i feel the same way . i could n't stand the thought of losing you or anybody else in a way that we lost morgan . that 's why i 'm gon na figure out a way -- i do n't know how yet . 'cause you know this has been ... this is all i know . carly : yeah . sonny : but i 'm gon na do everything i can to -- to make it happen . this life -- i 'm done . [ scene_break ] sam : by saying `` we `` need to see a doctor , what you 're really saying is i need to see a doctor . jason : what affects you , affects me . it affects everybody in this house . sam : really ? because you 're not the one who 's gon na have your head examined . i am . i mean , that 's what we 're talking about , right ? that -- that me worrying about you somehow makes me crazy . jason : i did n't say that . sam : no ? you did n't ? then what , jason ? what , you -- you think that i 'm hysterical ? that -- that i 'm blowing things out of proportion ? that i have anxiety , so -- so the solution is for me to somehow be medicated ? jason : i 'm saying that i 'm worried about you . sam : why ? why , exactly ? because i 'm pushing back ? because i refuse to stand by with a smile on my face while you run out into danger ? jason : maybe we should call your mom . sam : are you kidding me ? ! you want me to call my mother ? just because i do n't want you working for sonny , that somehow makes something wrong with me ? ! [ scout crying ] sam : oh , god . [ sighs ] jason : sam . [ crying continues ] jason : this is n't you . you do n't do this . i think something 's wrong , and i think we need to find out what . [ scene_break ] hayden : well , it looks like our chances of catching obrecht improved . i mean , did you have any idea monica would offer to help ? finn : no . i guess that 's the thing about hypotheticals . you can speculate all you want , but you never really know for sure until you ask . hayden : you 're not talking about monica , are you ? finn : no . hayden : you overheard me talking to curtis about our ... situation . finn : some . hayden : okay , well , let me clarify . it 's not that i doubt your ability to be a good father . finn : no , that 's pretty close to what you said . hayden : no . finn : and it 's -- it 's okay . i guess i 've been wondering the same thing myself . i 'm so turned around . i -- i even talked to griffin about it . hayden : no , no , i was talking about the timing . you 're in recovery . you 're trying to get your job back . you already have a lot on your plate . finn : yeah . that 's one way to look at it . is this the perfect time for us to have a baby ? no . but it 's the time we got . we just have to work with it . [ scene_break ] monica : i want to familiarize you with the lab , 'cause once you know that area , it 'll be a lot easier for you to collect some evidence . [ whispering ] whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . curtis : what 's the problem ? monica : obrecht is still here , and i do n't want her to see you out of character . so we 're going to have to do the lab second and get you in disguise first . [ scene_break ] kristina : [ sighs ] alexis : that was surprising . that was beyond generous of you to thank julian . kristina : not thanking him would have been really petty . i mean , julian could have kept his mouth shut and let whatever happened , happen , and dad could be dead . but he stepped up for once . alexis : mm , highly unlikely , but maybe people do change . kristina : uh , maybe for some people . alexis : is this about the call to your father ? kristina : yes . alexis : do you want to talk about it ? kristina : and say what ? yeah , dad does what he does . he takes the risks that he takes , and i do n't think it 's going to change . alexis : well , he 's still your father , so do n't write him off as a lost cause . he loves you . kristina : yeah , i know he loves me , and i love him , too , but i just -- i do n't happen to agree with a lot of the choices that he makes . but i 'm equal opportunity . i do n't happen to agree with a lot of the choices that you make , either . mom , what 's going on with you and julian ? [ scene_break ] carly : you know , uh , it 's kind of ironic . you were always the one telling me that there was no getting out , and now i 'm telling you . sonny : well , situations change . things are relatively stable at the moment . carly : someone just tried to kill you . sonny : yeah , but that was a random act of revenge . carly : mm . sonny : i 'm talking about the overall business . it 's -- it 's the perfect time to make the transition . carly : you really think that 's possible ? sonny : i 'm gon na get rid of the things that i can , and groom somebody to take care of the stuff that i ca n't . i 'm not saying it 's gon na happen overnight , in a month , or even two months , but i tell you what -- it 's gon na happen . carly : who are you calling ? sonny : [ sighs ] lucy . sorry to call you so late , but it 's gon na be worth your while . you know pozzulo 's , right ? yeah , on z - zollinger . right . i 'm selling it . the listing is yours . price it to sell . thank you . [ scene_break ] sam : [ sighs deeply ] [ footsteps approaching ] sam : is scout back to sleep ? jason : yeah . conked right out . only took a few minutes . sam : i 'm so sorry . i should n't have raised my voice . jason : well , you were upset . sam : i know . i just got so focused on my fear , jason , that i just -- i kind of feel like i blacked out , which is exactly what you were getting at , is n't it ? jason : i 'm just trying to offer suggestions . i do n't want to see you like this . sam : i ca n't apologize for feeling this way . jason : i 'm not going back to work for sonny . i 'm committed to our life together with these kids , but the fact that you 're still afraid ... sam : [ exhales sharply ] jason : ... and nothing i say can make you feel any better ? that 's not like you , sam . that 's not how you deal with things . do you really think that everything is okay with you ? sam : maybe not . [ scene_break ] kristina : mom , i 've told julian to go away . i 've screamed at him . i -- i 've told him to his face how wrong i think he is for you , but he wo n't listen . the only person i can try to reach is you . alexis : all right , i 'm gon na stop you right here , because there 's no davis woman that wants a redo with julian , including me . kristina : then what did i walk in on ? alexis : nothing . nothing . i was feeling out of sorts , and i -- i wanted a drink . kristina : you did n't ... ? alexis : no ! no . i did n't . i had a banana split instead . kristina : why did n't you call your sponsor ? alexis : i did n't want to . i did n't want to talk to anybody . i - i just ... i just wanted to feel better . kristina : with ice cream . alexis : worth a shot . and then julian showed up , and i made the mistake of telling him that i wanted a drink , and then of course , he was n't gon na leave me alone , and then you showed up . kristina : yeah , thankfully . amy and i were jonesing for some onion rings , but what if it had been egg rolls , and we ordered from noodle buddha ? what happens the next time that you run into julian , and i 'm not there to save you from yourself ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] [ elevator bell dings ] julian : hi . i , uh , have something for you . dr. obrecht : what is that ? julian : it 's , uh , just takeout for your staff for looking after ava . dr. obrecht : that 's very thoughtful of you . julian : well , it 's the least i could do . i know your staff 's been working around the clock looking after ava , and , uh , anyway , i just wanted you to know how much her family appreciates that . dr. obrecht : yeah . we 're just doing our job . julian : well , it 's a damn - fine job . it 's hard to believe this hospital almost got turned into luxury condos , huh ? monica really , uh , brought this place back from the brink . you have a good night . [ scene_break ] monica : okay , curtis . it 's okay to come out . curtis : really ? monica : [ chuckles ] curtis : you got me looking like a nerd . you could n't have found something in the sexy it department ? monica : the whole point is to get liesl to put her guard down . curtis : [ sighs ] kiki : excuse me , dr. quartermaine . can i talk to you ? monica : yeah ? what about ? kiki : um , can we talk in private ? monica : oh ! well , this gentleman has just been hired to work in the it department . he 's going to increase our security , so it 's fine to talk in front of him . kiki : okay , um , well , i do n't want to get anyone in trouble , because i might have misinterpreted what was said . monica : well , let me be the judge of that . kiki : i think dr. obrecht just asked me to spy for her , you know , 'cause i 'm young and people might say things to me that they would n't say to her , but obviously i would never do anything like that . monica : oh ! oh , no ! [ chuckles ] no , on the contrary . if dr. obrecht has asked you to spy for her , then that 's exactly what you 're going to do . [ scene_break ] finn : i wish i could say something perfect to you right now . all i can tell you is i will work every day of my life to be the best father this baby could ask for . hayden : i believe you . and let 's be honest -- i 'm more likely to be the one to screw this baby up , anyway . finn : no . and , hey , at the end of the day , does n't every kid blame their parents for screwing them up ? hayden : yeah , but in my case , it 's true . finn : you 're scared . i 'm scared . what do you say we be scared together ? hayden : yeah . finn : yeah ? yeah ? [ scene_break ] jason : is n't that the first step ? admitting something 's wrong ? sam : [ crying ] i mean , it certainly was with my mother and her drinking . jason : well , we definitely know you do n't have a drinking problem . sam : [ chuckles , sniffles ] jason : what do you think it is ? sam : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i mean , ever since i had scout , i 've just been feeling a little antsy . [ breathes shakily ] jason : antsy how ? sam : like i 'm not entirely in control of myself . jason : honey , you never said anything . sam : jason , would you ? i mean , really ? would you say something , or would you just hold it in and just hope that it would go away until it blows over ? [ breathes shakily ] jason : it does n't seem like it 's blowing over . sam : oh , gosh . why does it have to be an official thing ? you know ? why ca n't it just be the stressors of life ? i mean , my father is probably gon na spend the rest of his life in prison . my mother , she is a hot mess . and my husband -- you , my love , just got shot . jason : i 'm not saying ... sam : [ exhales sharply ] jason : ... that there are n't many things in your life that legitimately should put you on edge . it 's just that you handled things so much differently before , which is why i think it 's a good idea we get you checked out , make sure nothing else is going on . sam : okay , well , i mean , what if there is n't ? jason : well , then we both learn how to handle things a little differently . maybe we get a nanny . sam : no . no , do n't say that . i do n't want a nanny . i was n't able to be a mother to danny in the first few months , and i want that with scout . i want to be able to do that . jason : maybe a part - time nanny ? sam : [ laughs ] jason : we could get a night nanny . sam : okay . jason : just a night nanny ? sam : okay , we 'll see .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : i have no desire to bring lawyers into this . but you 're not going to keep me away from my child . skye : we can not let this go to family court . if that happens , this baby could be taken away from both of us . lorenzo : well , i think we can work this out together . lorenzo : skye , look at me . look in my eyes . i am the same man i was two weeks ago , when we were planning to share this child 's life -- and possibly more . skye : it 's true . you have n't changed . lorenzo : no . skye : but i have . i now see the difference between the safe , secure , sensible man i wanted you to be and the man you truly are .

[ scene_break ] jason : how much do you know about what happened when michael was a baby ? abby : he 's told me a little bit . his biological father was a screw - up , i guess . his mom fell in love with sonny , and sonny was able to get michael away from the quartermaines so that he could adopt him . and obviously you played a really big part in that , but i do n't know any details . jason : well , that screw - up was my brother . half - brother , aj . abby : is michael like him at all ? jason : no . no , not at all . abby : well , then , you and your brother are n't very much alike , either . because michael 's like you . jason : aj got carly pregnant when she was with somebody else . and then when she was ready to have michael , aj and the other guy wanted to take michael away from carly so carly lied and said that i was the dad . and i went along with it . abby : and your girlfriend did n't like that , hence the break - up . jason : it 's a little more complicated than that , but i lied . and i took my brother 's son , and losing her was one of the consequences . abby : why 'd you do it ? jason : because i really thought i was saving michael . i mean , the reason aj was the way he was from all this pressure that the quartermaines put on him . and i did n't want that for michael . i did n't want him lying or feeling like he had to please everybody or feeling like he was never good enough like aj felt . abby : so why do n't you stop michael from going to elq ? jason : because michael 's not a kid anymore . and i think he can handle himself . and you know what , he might like elq and maybe he can be what edward needs him to be . but if he 's not , i have faith in him that he can walk away . abby : the way you talk about your brother , i mean , it sounds like you regret what happened . jason : i regret how it ended . abby : well , maybe you sending michael back to edward is your way of apologizing . you know , of showing that you 're sorry that you ever took him in the first place . [ scene_break ] jax : look , michael , i know how much you love your little sister . but do you really want her growing up the way you did ? surrounded by the violence ? michael : the worst thing that happened to me growing up was the custody fight between my mom and my dad . i would have nightmares . thinking about standing in on the trial , having to choose one person over the other , and it made me sick . which is why i was always trying to get you and dad back together , 'cause i did n't want to choose who i wanted to live with . jax : well , i 'm sure your mother hated putting you through that , but she did it to keep you safe , which is what i 'm trying to do for josslyn right now . michael : you put josslyn through a custody fight and you 'll be hurting her a lot more than sharing her with my mom . jax : when she 's old enough , i 'll explain it to her . michael : it 'll be too late . josslyn needs my mom now , like kristina needed my dad when she was little . but you know what , he was n't there for her and she 's still paying the price for that . do n't do that to josslyn . just be a good dad . give her a stable home instead of constantly trying to take her mother away from her . jax : i 'm not taking her away from carly . she can see her whenever she wants , michael . michael : josslyn deserves better than that . so you 're going to shuffle her around all the time like i was for years . she does n't need you attacking my mom and trying to say how bad of a mother she is when she 's not . jax : that 's not what i 'm trying to do . michael : yeah , it is . yeah , it is . and you know it 's not true , but you 're going to say it no matter who gets hurt , just so you win . look , you 're always saying how much better you are than my dad . but my dad and my mom were able to work out a compromise . they put their own problems aside and they put their kids first . when are you going to do that with josslyn ? jax : that 's what i 'm doing right now , michael . everything i 'm doing right now is for josslyn . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why ca n't i show the court this test ? what 's wrong with this one ? lucky : the results are suspect because you submitted the samples . see , for all the court knows , you could have submitted nikolas ' dna and claimed it was mine . elizabeth : i would never do that ! lucky : i know that , but the court does n't . you know , i 'm just explaining the legalities of it . elizabeth : ok , well then why ca n't i just explain to the judge that helena tampered with the first two tests ? lucky : you can explain it , but it does n't prove anything . we do n't have any proof . elizabeth : aiden is my son , too .

[ scene_break ] starr : i never thought that i would see this . johnny : uh , well , we finally found something we could agree on . michael : starr , you sounded amazing . starr : you do n't have to say that . johnny : why should n't he ? it 's the truth . of course he should say it . and we can finally give you a venue that 's worthy of your talent . starr : i 'm flattered , but there 's no way you 've renovated this place just so i could sing here . johnny : i needed to make some changes in my life for many reasons . and let 's be honest -- this place needed some renovating . which , by the way , you have n't told me what you think of the improvements . starr : i love them . are you kidding me ? it looks awesome . i would want to come here , even if i was n't singing here . what do you think ? michael : well , i think the place is nice , but , uh , i think the singer is definitely the main draw . starr : thank you . both of you . johnny : you 're welcome . michael : any chance we can hear some more ? starr : no . first i want to know the real reason you two were talking . johnny : it 's no big deal . michael : i was , uh , apologizing to johnny for something that he did n't do . starr : the accident . michael : yeah . i , uh -- look , we were hoping to put it behind us and not talk about it again . starr : no , i - it 's okay . i understand what happened and why . johnny : so do i. i just recently found out that kate was the one who shot out anthony 's tires . starr : you did ? well , what are you doing still standing here ? i would think you 'd be on the phone with every newspaper in the country by now . johnny : why ? so i could hurt sonny ? starr : no . so you could also clear your name . johnny : kate 's been through a lot , and i do n't want to hurt her any more than i already have . starr : you 're being very compassionate towards her . johnny : well , do n't give me too much credit . starr : too late . saying things like that , i know that i was right to put my faith in you . [ scene_break ] todd : maybe you were locked up for so long that you forgot how to read , but it is my name on that name plate -- well , it -- it will be my name on that name plate as soon as sam puts my name plate on the door . my point is that you do n't get to walk into this space . this is my office . you do n't get to call me an idiot . heather : that 's why i miss ferncliff . there you did n't have to sugarcoat the truth . todd : you 're so big on the truth ? you want to go out there ? let 's go out there . come on . let 's go tell sam the truth . let 's go tell her that she 's grieving for a baby that 's not even dead . heather : the longer you keep sam here , the more likely she is to put all the pieces together . and then you want to guess who 's gon na be grieving ? that 's right . your ex - wife . you remember , the one whose husband you killed . and now you want to take away her son ? todd : no . heather : well , then you only have one option . fire sam . todd : fire her ? she -- she has n't even filled out her paperwork . heather : you ca n't have a p.i . working here . todd : sam has , uh , retired from her career as a private investigator . heather : oh , is that what she told you ? todd : yeah . i -- she wants to make a fresh start . i ca n't say i blame her . she carried a child around for nine months and then she loses her son . she thinks that her son is dead . who wants to go back to a life filled with all of those little reminders ? heather : it sounds like you 're projecting . todd : i understand . i do n't ever want to spend another day in llanview . everybody looking -- look at you [ clears throat ] with this disappointment in their eyes , this pity . heather : why would anybody pity you ? todd : my sister , viki , she -- she looks at me like that . says i could have my old life back , but i threw it all away by killing my brother , victor . who says i want my old life back ? maybe i want to make a fresh start . maybe that 's what i 'm doing for sam . heather : a fresh start ? todd : yeah . heather : boy , is she working you . todd : no . you 're wrong . heather : really ? then why did i just catch her partner following me ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , thanks to my less - than - stellar stealth , heather is now gunning for olivia . sam : well , do n't blame yourself . heather will go after anyone who looks at her cross - eyed . spinelli : speaking of , how did she react to the news of your employment ? sam : not so good . she pulled todd into the office , and i 'm certainly sure it 's not to congratulate him on his new assistant , and i 've been trying to overhear what they 're saying , but no luck so far . spinelli : i must advise caution . there is no telling what heather might do next . sam : got it . talk to you later . [ scene_break ] johnny : ah . enough about me . i want to hear the playback of that song again . starr : but it was n't even a recording . it was just a sound check . johnny : whatever you were doing sounded great . starr : [ sighs ] michael : johnny 's right . you sounded amazing . starr : thank you . i mean , it does feel like everything is going right for the first time in months . except for my new roommate . michael : trey ? starr : yeah . michael : what are you talking about ? the guy seems perfect . starr : oh , i know . he only leaves gross , crusty dishes in the sink , and we got into a huge argument this morning because he swore that he was a neat freak . michael : he 's definitely some kind of freak . starr : he makes me wish that i had moved in with my dad at his hotel . not that i want my dad watching me 24/7 , but seriously , i - i do n't even care 'cause there would be a maid service . michael : that is true . starr : i 'm sorry . i am ranting on and on , but -- i just ca n't stand trey . michael : huh . starr : `` huh `` ? what does that mean ? michael : um , no , it 's just something that kristina said the other night when we had dinner at your house . starr : and what 's that ? michael : she thinks that the way trey is always trying to make you mad is , uh , is a way of flirting with you . starr : she knows we 're not in second grade , right ? michael : yeah , she does . still , she seems to be taking it pretty hard . starr : why would kristina care if trey was flirting with me ? is kristina interested in trey ? [ scene_break ] sonny : she 's not gon na say anymore . kate : sonny , i - i want to do this . sonny : you need -- you need to do this ? kate : i do . when your father went on trial , i was n't aware of what i 'd done . kristina : how could you forget causing an accident that -- that killed two people ? kate : because i have an illness , kristina . i have d.i.d . -- dissociative identity disorder . it 's a medical condition for split personality . kristina : you 're serious . trey : god , this just keeps getting better and better . kate : for a long time , i had no recollection of what i 'd done . i still do n't remember some things . sonny : kate was n't responsible for anything that happened . kristina : why would the other personality shoot out anthony zacchara 's tires ? kate : to frame your father . she thought sonny was dangerous , and she wanted him out of my -- out of our life . kristina : even though you love him ? kate : even though . she wants to hurt sonny . i know it 's difficult to understand . alexis : actually , i think kristina might understand this a lot better than you think . [ scene_break ] patrick : so -- so you think i 'm hiding medication in the pocket of my robe . maxie : i do n't know what to -- to think , but i 'm worried about you . and -- and lulu said that the only way to figure it out was to ask -- patrick : wait a second . lulu ? maxie , you talked to lulu about this ? maxie : it was n't like i was gossiping . i just -- patrick : no ? well , it sure as hell sounds like it to me . maxie : lulu had just come by a little while ago , and i just found the pills , but she told me the only way to find out was to ask you , so this is me asking . patrick : those pills are none of your business . maxie : [ scoffs ] okay . look , maybe i 'm a little over - sensitive about the subject because i 'll forever be known as the girl who supplied lucky with drugs just so he would sleep with me . but [ sighs ] i mean , i ignored all the alarms that were going off in my mind , and -- and i pretended to believe him , and i just do n't want to make that mistake again . patrick : okay , well , i think you 're right . i - i think -- i think you 're being a little over - sensitive . maxie : okay , well -- look , even if you do n't blame me for what happened with lucky -- and trust me , you would definitely be one of the few -- i - i mean , you have to admit that i was enabling him . patrick : you 're not enabling me . maxie : yeah , well , i would be if i knew you were in trouble and i did n't do anything about it , so -- are you in trouble ? [ scene_break ] michael : whatever kristina feels about trey , she wants to keep it professional . starr : sounds like a good idea . michael : yeah , does n't mean trey agrees . would n't surprise me if he tries to make a play for kristina . starr : but the `` mob princess `` show seems so important to trey . why would he risk things by getting involved with the main star of the show ? michael : makes it easier to exploit her . starr : but the way they were talking , i mean , it sounded like kristina and trey came up with the concept of the show together . michael : no . trey found where she is vulnerable , and then he used it . starr : i 'm sorry , but your sister does n't seem vulnerable to me . michael : [ chuckles ] kristina and my dad are exactly alike . when my dad gets mad , he starts making ultimatums . and kristina , she overreacts and does something stupid to defy him . this whole reality show is just the latest worst example . starr : okay . i still do n't see how any of this is trey 's fault , not that i 'm defending him , trust me . michael : kristina loves her family , and -- and when she sees this whole thing is hurting them , especially her sisters , i - i think she 's gon na back out . starr : oh , so , trey 's going to pretend like he 's interested in kristina in order to keep her with the project . michael : pretty much , yeah . starr : wow . well , i hope that kristina is n't really interested in trey , because if she were , i would feel sorry for her . i think he 's a jerk . michael : that 's good . [ scene_break ] sonny : i think that 's enough for now . trey : miss howard , this is a powerful story that needs to be told , but i - i ca n't put any of it on the air unless you sign this release ! okay , we got to get in there for that arraignment . this is gon na be the high point of the episode . kristina : i do n't think this should go on the air . trey : maybe you can talk to your parents , all right ? we can get a wrap - up interview -- kristina : did you just how upset kate was ? i do n't want to make this worse for her . trey : no , no . it 's fine . we can totally spin it and make it sympathetic . kristina : better idea ? we leave kate out of the show completely . trey : okay . i thought you shared my vision . i thought we were in this together . kristina : we are . i do . trey : then why do you keep sabotaging us at a very turn ? kristina : what are you talking about ? trey : first you would n't allow the cameras in the hospital with sam . then you sent them away from the funeral . kristina : my sister was burying her baby . sam was in enough pain she did not need to go through in front of cameras . trey : we had a deal . you gave us full access , okay ? i 'm tired of making exceptions . kristina : exceptions ? trey : i respected your wishes when it came to your family , but kate howard is a celebrity . kristina : and my dad 's girlfriend . he cares about her , and so do i . she 's my family , too . trey : yeah ? what about starr 's family ? you thought about what they might be going through ? [ scene_break ] heather : so , when i asked spinelli about this tape - recording device he had , he gave me some ridiculous story about he was bird - watching and he was looking for cuckoos . todd : [ chuckles ] heather : please reserve all comments . spinelli was there on a job , most likely hired by steven lars ' girlfriend . todd : you really have it in for that woman , do n't you ? heather : no , olivia has it in for me . she 's trying to get in between me and my son , and if she gets one speck of dirt on me , she 's gon na push me out of his life . todd : okay , look , you 've alienated yourself from your son 's girlfriend , that 's your problem , not mine . heather : i was really hoping for a lot more support from you . todd : i gave you a job . how much more support do you need ? look , just because spinelli 's after you does n't mean that he knows anything . heather : oh , so i guess it 's just a coincidence that his partner , sam , came to your office and asked you if she could have a job as your personal assistant . todd : sam needs to make a living . she does n't want to work with spinelli anymore because spinelli is really close with her soon - to - be ex - husband , jason morgan , who -- okay . [ chuckles ] she thinks that jason is responsible for the death of her child , and that 's good for us , because the more -- the more she thinks that , the less likely she is to try to figure out what really happened . heather : how naive can you be ? sam and spinelli are playing you for a fool . [ scene_break ] spinelli : well , thanks to her considerable powers of persuasion , sam is now mr. manning 's assistant , affording her an excellent opportunity to witness todd 's dealings with heather . olivia : how in the hell did that woman manage to get hired anywhere , let alone writing for a newspaper ? spinelli : and the fact that she was able to choose her position ? olivia : see ? right ? there 's no way . there is no way that it was just that easy . now , if i did n't know it better , i would swear that she was blackmailing the guy . spinelli : well , that 's fair samantha 's theory . olivia : well , but -- but how ? what could she possibly have on todd manning ? the guy runs a newspaper empire . and furthermore , he 's only been in town a little while . spinelli : nevertheless , i mean , it 's -- it 's clear that there is some connection . she must have something to hold over todd 's head . and now that fair samantha 's on the case , we will soon now what heather is hiding . [ scene_break ] heather : so , you knew sam was a p.i . but you hired her anyway . spinelli 's not harmless , either . do n't let those puppy - dog eyes and that idiotic way he talks fool you . todd : idiotic . spinelli : uh , just that if you wanted to be of assistance , maybe we could -- uh , maybe we could go to the -- i -- to -- to the -- to the hotel bar . todd : you 're asking me out . spinelli : i - i - i am ? no . [ stammering ] i - i was thinking just on a professional basis , we could discuss the matters at hand over an appropriate libation . todd : i 'm not the first guy to tell you that you talk funny . spinelli : no . todd : did you get beat up on the bus a lot ? spinelli : once . you 're not -- todd : no . well , maybe . but not yet . spinelli : if you want me to adapt my speech , i can modify it perhaps -- todd : you do n't need to . i do n't need to hear any more . i do n't want to hear about anybody else 's personal problems . i 've got enough of my own . spinelli : um , oh . todd : i caught him outside my hotel room the other night . he said he was investigating the guy across the hall . heather : hmm . well , i hope by now you figured out that he 's a spy and samantha 's spying on us and we 're in big trouble here . so what are you waiting for ? you 've got to get rid of her right now . [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're under an incredible amount of stress , and no one would blame you if you needed some help . patrick : well , you do n't have to worry . maxie : well , too late . i 'm worried . patrick : maxie , t - those pills are acetaminophen , okay ? it 's f - for people when they have a headache , like an aspirin . maxie : so , why is n't the bottle labeled ? patrick : because i had a headache at work . my head was pounding . i asked the nurse to grab me some pills out of the drug lockup , but you know , you 're probably right because now i owe the hospital a couple dollars . maxie : [ chuckles ] with the hours you work ? please . look -- sorry you were n't feeling well . i 'm sure i did n't help . patrick : it 's okay . we have both been going through a lot , so i - i can understand how you -- you might have jumped to a conclusion . maxie : yeah , well , i 'm really sorry , okay ? not to mention completely mortified . patrick : you do n't have to worry about me , maxie . i 'm fine . really . [ scene_break ] heather : samantha , dare i ask , why would todd 's new assistant be listening at his office door ? sam : actually , i was just about to knock . i was gon na see if todd needed anything -- todd : oh , no , hey . i 'm all set , you know ? you know what ? why do n't you take the rest of the day off ? sam : yeah , but i just started . todd : yeah , but i 'm not doing much . you know , i 'm just going over the assets and the holdings , and , you know -- sam : i know , but i - i mean , i can help . that 's what i 'm paid for . todd : could you help me tomorrow morning ? let 's say , uh , 9 : 00 a.m. ? can -- can you do it then ? 'cause that would be great . sam : see you tomorrow . todd : okay . heather : why did n't you say anything to her ? todd : like what ? heather : how about `` nice try `` ? sorry . busted `` ? least you could have fired her . todd : no . i have a better idea . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey . kate : hey . sonny : how you holding up ? kate : i 'm nervous . sonny : i 'm sorry you had to deal with that garbage in the hall , and i apologize for my daughter . alexis : [ sighs ] me , too . sonny : this whole situation is unacceptable . it really , really is . alexis : her behavior is unbelievable . i agree . however , that so - called producer , he 's worse . sonny : i - i should have crushed him and his camera crew the second he set foot in your house . alexis : when did i cede authority in my house ? sonny : you know what i 'm talking about . i do n't have to explain to you . alexis : i know , but then we would have had a bunch of broken video equipment . what 's that gon na prove ? sonny : it would have made me feel a lot better , and that guy would be out of our lives for good . alexis : so would our daughter . sonny : you know what ? if -- if she -- if she turns her back on us , do you think she 's gon na be able to survive in the real world ? alexis : you know , i would prefer not to find out . she is so much like you . she can go a long way fueled on her anger . sonny : okay , you need to deal with kristina , 'cause i do n't know how much longer i can deal with this trey guy . alexis : i do n't like him any better than you . i think he 's a - a -- - sonny : sleazemonger ? is that what you said ? alexis : i can think of a lot worse words . sonny : kate . if -- if this slimeball approaches you again , i want you to come to me , all right ? kate : you know , i - i have to get used to having cameras in my face , sonny , because when this becomes public , everyone 's gon na know what i did . sonny : whatever you did , you ca n't even remember , so what are you even talking about ? kate : i know you do n't want to believe i did this , sonny . there 's a part of me that does n't , either , but it happened , all right ? whether or not i can remember , i took the lives of two innocent people . sonny : you did not do anything , and you ca n't blame yourself . kate : well , at least the investigation 's over . nobody else will be falsely accused of what i did . [ scene_break ] johnny : love the mix . really highlights the vocal . nice job . sound technician : a voice like that , no reason to hide it . never know what she 's been through . i heard she lost her daughter and boyfriend in a car accident . johnny : yeah . sound technician : whenever they find who 's responsible , they should hang him . [ scene_break ] starr : why is it good if i think trey 's a jerk ? michael : uh -- i do n't know . i do n't -- i do n't want him to use you the way that he 's been using kristina . starr : oh , well , i 'm not going to sign up for a reality show . i would never do that . you do n't have to worry about it . michael : trey seems pretty resourceful . i 'm pretty sure he can find a way to exploit you . starr : and you do n't think i can handle myself ? michael : no , it 's not that . you 've been through a lot . you -- you should focus on your music career , not some jerk with an agenda . starr : you 're right , and hopefully he wo n't pay his half of the rent so i can force him out . [ laughs ] michael : okay , if you need any help with that , please let me know , because there 's nothing i 'd like more than to throw trey out on the streets . starr : oh , and i 'm sure your sister would just love that . michael : probably , but , um , i 'm not worried about kristina . you are a different story . look , just please , if -- if -- if you want trey out , let me know . starr : do n't get too excited about it . i 'm sure he 's going to pay his half of the rent just so that he can stick around and annoy me . michael : yeah , well , you deserve somebody better than that , somebody who treats you right and with respect , not somebody who 's out to make money off your grief . you deserve somebody who actually cares about you . telephone rings ] [ scene_break ] patrick : all right , well , [ clears throat ] if you do n't mind , in case i have another one of those days -- maxie : oh . right . here . patrick : thank you . now , i have to go change because i have to pick up emma from day camp , and maybe today she wo n't be the last one waiting . [ scene_break ] spinelli : [ sighs ] hell hath no fury like heather webber scorned . sam : hi , spinelli . spinelli : hey . [ door closes ] spinelli : wait , what are you doing here ? should n't you be pushing papers for todd manning ? sam : i should , but he told me to take the day off . spinelli : on -- on your first day ? that can only mean one thing -- that heather and her boss are on to you . sam : well , i was listening at the door , and i think overheard her say that we were spies . spinelli : that is most unfortunate , and i fear it is all my fault . wait , wait , wait . did todd say just to take the afternoon off ? sam : yeah , he did . spinelli : okay , but if he knows in heather 's words that you are a spy , why would n't he have just fired you ? [ scene_break ] heather : why would you risk keeping sam on the payroll ? todd : really do need to put my name on the door . all we know for sure is that spinelli 's investigating you . this may not have anything to do with me at all . heather : she could still suspect something about the baby . todd : so what ? what 's she gon na do ? it 's not like we gave téa a receipt for the baby . what 's sam gon na do ? get a dna test done on every baby that was born in a storm ? heather : i do n't know . why risk it ? todd : let 's say you 're right and sam is investigating -- heather : i 'm always right . todd : given . [ chuckles ] so what ? would n't it be better to keep her close , that way i can see her going behind my back ? heather : you 're just making excuses . that 's your guilty conscience talking . if you 're not careful , you 're gon na take us both down .

[ scene_break ] carly : are you really making judgments about how and when your brother chose to tell you or anyone that he was raped ? morgan : mom , he told my girlfriend before he told me . carly : because maybe he thought you were too young to handle it . and not that he asked me , but i might agree , with the way you 're reacting . this is your brother , morgan . michael had to deal with a horrible violation . if you ca n't summon up any compassion , maybe you can find some respect with how he dealt with it , and he moved on with his life . morgan : look , i get it , okay ? i do . yes . what happened to michael -- it was terrible . but him and kiki ? before he knew her ? before knew that they were cousins ? i think he liked her . carly : okay . morgan : and maybe he was using that as a way for them to get closer . carly : he did not tell kiki about the rape , because he liked her , okay ? michael ca n't stand her , and from what i hear , she feels the same way about him . morgan : yeah , and that 's what i thought , too , but i know there was something going on . carly : i do n't know . i do n't know if there 's anything going on between michael and kiki . i just know that he needs to stay away from her and so do you . morgan : well , no , because i 'm not breaking up with kiki any time soon , mom . carly : okay , well , you 're not gon na live with her , okay ? you 're coming home with me . morgan : i 'm not going anywhere with you . carly : let me tell you something . i do n't care how old you are . i 'm still your mother , and what i say goes , and i say that you are not gon na stay here with franco . do you hear me ? so , we 're gon na find kiki and we 're gon na say goodbye .

[ both laugh ] ava : well , that 's great . so you already have a history of memory problems . this was a relapse . and you went to work on the freighter . i can just picture you as a deckhand . and then one night , at a waterfront bar , it all started to flood back to you -- who you are and the family you left behind . and so you call home . and , of course , they 'll be overjoyed to hear from you , and they 'll welcome you back with open arms . and then you 'll tell them that it was a robber that threw you out the window , that jason had nothing to do with . but , of course , you ca n't identify the man because he wore a mask . nikolas : what about the freighter ? ava : you refuse to name it because of the questionable cargo . that crew saved your life . you 're not gon na repay them by getting them into trouble . so ? what do you think ? nikolas : even if i could convince people that i was working on a freighter and suffering from amnesia , my situation has n't changed . if i go back to port charles , i go back to all the reasons why i had to leave .

[ scene_break ] skye : laura , you have such a beautiful family . you have luke and lucky and lulu . do n't throw it all away for revenge that is n't even necessary . just -- just let me go . alexis : fact -- skye quartermaine was in her house the night that ross duncan died . fact -- luke spencer and skye quartermaine had a terrible fight . fact -- skye quartermaine had been drinking heavily . bad judgment does n't prove that she murdered anyone . when luke spencer arrived at skye quartermaine 's house , he found her unconscious . she was passed out with ross duncan dead on the floor below . there was no sign of a struggle on skye quartermaine 's body . there was absolutely no blood whatsoever found on skye quartermaine . and she was in such an inebriated state , it would almost seem impossible for her to find the strength to stab anybody . both skye and luke were convinced that skye was framed . and luke was someone that she trusted ; someone that she was in love with . he told her that he would help her find the real killer . she believed him , and she agreed to cover up ross duncan 's death . really bad judgment . but again , it does n't prove that she murdered anybody . in fact , she did n't murder ross duncan . it was a crime of passion . the killer is still at large . she escaped from a mental institution that she was sent to for killing her stepfather . the killer is laura spencer , luke spencer 's estranged wife . in her delusional state , she returned , tried to reunite with luke , and she found luke courting skye quartermaine . she tried to kill skye quartermaine . she tried to eliminate her in the park . she was spotted wielding a knife at skye quartermaine in front of two police officers , one of which is seated right here in this courtroom ; one of which is laura spencer 's own son , who you heard testify that he believes that skye quartermaine is innocent . if you convict skye quartermaine , you are letting laura spencer free to perhaps hurt somebody else ; to perhaps kill somebody else . who 's next ? who knows ? luke spencer is missing without explanation . where is he ? does anyone know ? there are so many unanswered questions here . and if there are unanswered questions , this is clearly a case of reasonable doubt . and if it 's a case of reasonable doubt , you can not convict skye quartermaine . please do not convict an innocent woman of a crime that someone else did . thank you . ric : this murder happened for one reason and one reason only -- obsessive love . skye quartermaine 's love for luke spencer . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , molly . molly : hi . jason : come on in . this is molly . she works for -- sam : hi . jason : sonny at a bar on the north shore . molly : ok , that guy you wanted us to look out for ? jason : yeah ? molly : he 's on the island . jason : are you sure it was nico ? molly : he 's doing shots at the bar . jason : ok . thanks , molly . could you wait outside for a second ? you should -- you should be ok . there 's guards patrolling , ok ? just keep the shotgun close , just in case . sam : you are going to kill him . right ? jason : yeah , sam , everything 's going to be -- sam : jason , i am serious . please do n't take any chances , ok ? kill nico because if you do n't , he will kill you . [ scene_break ] ric : the defense has placed skye quartermaine with the victim the night of his murder . they allow that skye tried to cover up this murder , moving the body three times . the defense has also admitted that the murder weapon belonged to skye quartermaine . her fingerprints were on it . it was found in her place of business , hidden . the only thing the defense has not presented to you is a photograph of skye plunging the ice pick into detective ross duncan 's body . ladies and gentlemen , i can assure you that very few juries have been handed an actual photograph of the crime after it 's been committed . and i can also assure you that very few juries have been handed the mountain of evidence that is before you . there 's one other piece of evidence that ms. davis failed to bring up in her closing argument -- the letter from luke spencer condemning skye , a letter an expert handwriting analyst has testified was written by luke spencer himself , a letter from a man who realized , too late , just how desperate skye was to hold on to him . skye quartermaine killed detective ross duncan . she wanted laura spencer out of the way , permanently . and as for lucky spencer 's testimony as to skye 's innocence -- well , i think his credibility lies in the fact that he sits in loving support next to emily quartermaine , skye 's adoptive sister . laura spencer was not the perpetrator of this crime , ladies and gentlemen . she was the collateral victim . she was the person that skye quartermaine used and tried to frame for her own crime . ross duncan was a police officer who served his community well . skye quartermaine murdered him without any remorse . now it is your job and it 's your duty to make sure that she realizes that death will not go unpunished . and with that , the people humbly ask you to return a verdict of guilty . thank you . judge : court is in recess pending jury deliberation . bailiff : rise .

[ scene_break ] tracy : my private investigator was beyond thorough . in here are phone records , credit card receipts , even a lease agreement -- all of which places you in hollingsbeck , texas , in 1984 . scott : those records are about as real as your brother 's will , which you forged . and do n't even try and deny that , tracy . i know how -- how spencer 's mind works . he saw this opportunity to cash in on your brother 's death and he took it , and he used you to do it -- just like he used you to kidnap laura . tracy : luke has some flaws . however , to the best of my knowledge , he has never walked out on a pregnant woman . and the pregnant woman you walked out on , by the way -- her name was , um , jaclyn -- jaclyn hayes . scott : how many times has luke taken off in your marriage without so much as a goodbye ? you know why ? because he ca n't be tied down to a wife , to kids , to a job ! he is truly a deadbeat , where me , on the other hand -- i 've embraced fatherhood all my life . you know , when i found out that karen was my daughter , my biggest regret was i did n't find out earlier . and when she was taken from me in that car accident , a piece of me was taken . but thank god , you know , i got serena . she is the apple of my eye , tracy . tracy : mm - hmm . and the heir to a sizable fortune , which goes a long way to explaining your devotion . scott : do n't you ever question my love for serena , never ! tracy : okay , well , if you love being a pop so much , why 'd you turn your back on your only son ? scott : this blackmail is not going to work . i do not have a son ! [ scene_break ] lulu : does scott even know about you ? logan : baldwin knew my mother was pregnant . that did n't stop him from skipping town on us . lulu : so you -- you have n't told him that you 're his son ? logan : what difference would that make ? baldwin knows he 's got a kid walking around the world somewhere . but the loser never bothered to pick up the phone , or take two seconds to -- to just answer one of my mother 's letters . the bottom line is he -- he just did n't want the hassle , so he pretended like we did n't exist . what i ca n't figure out is how did -- how did you put this together ? lulu : scott is threatening to charge my stepmother with kidnapping charges unless she , um , tells him where my mom is . so -- so she hired a private investigator to get some dirt on him and -- and use it as leverage . so that 's what -- logan : you want me to be the leverage ? that 's what this is about ? you can for -- you can forget that . [ lulu sighs ] lulu : logan , logan , wait , wait , wait -- spinelli : halt , simian ! what -- what have you done to upset the fair lulu ? lulu : he did n't do anything . i was just an insensitive jerk and i am sorry .

[ robin sighs ] patrick : okay . so , fine , i was teasing you . there was a grain of truth to it , but you completely overreacted . just relax and learn to take a joke . robin : maybe you should learn to respect your fellow surgeons , including noah . noah knows exactly how to treat this patient . you know what the truth is ? i should 've asked him to consult in the first place . patrick : well , then why did n't you ? robin : i do n't know -- maybe because you and i are involved , because you 're the first neurosurgeon that i think of ? but mostly because i want to avoid stupid , pointless arguments like this one . i mean , you are all about competing with your father . the second he says something , you completely contradict him . i do n't know if it 's because you 're trying to punish him for years of drinking , or if because , deep down , maybe you 're scared that he 's a better surgeon than you are . either way , i do n't care , because it 's unprofessional . and i avoid referring my patients to him out of loyalty to you , and that 's ridiculous , so i 'm stopping it , it 's over . patrick : robin -- robin : my patients deserve better . patrick : you gave that case to my father to get back at me . now , that 's unprofessional . that fact that you 're standing there and -- and not admitting it just proves my point , what i said this morning -- you can not admit when you are wrong . [ scene_break ] sonny : you made a serious miscalculation going anywhere near my kids , mr. craig . jerry : well , you see , michael and morgan happen to be very fond of their new uncle -- that would be , jerry jacks . james craig is gone -- sonny : yeah . jerry : never to return . ugh ! sonny : i do n't like playing games , mr. craig . jerry : well , you see -- [ jerry coughs ] jerry : what i meant was i went to a great deal of trouble to establish a truce of some sort . [ jerry coughs ] sonny : you probably think now that jax 's gone , you can make your next move , am i right ? jerry : well , actually , i sent jax away because i did n't want him to be caught in the middle . because , like it or not , you and i are practically family .

[ scene_break ] sam : maureen is grieving for the -- the baby she lost in that fire . i 'm not going to force her to relive that night on television . amelia : we already taped the interview ; all i need is a signed release to air it . sam : why ca n't you accept the fact that she changed her mind ? amelia : because the network wants us to air the episode that they paid us to make ? sam : you have no idea what kind of pain that woman is feeling , how -- how it feels to wake up in the morning and know that you will never see your child again . amelia : no , but you do , which is why you 're going to be the one that makes the call . maureen trusts you . if anyone can convince her to sign the release , it 's you . sam : no , maureen trusts me because she knew i would n't exploit her pain , and i am not going to start now ! amelia : you already did the interview with maureen . why are you suddenly backing out now ? sam : maureen already feels guilty enough from not being able to save her daughter . does she really need other people judging her ? amelia : it 's not about blame , sam , it 's about preventing any more senseless tragedies . sam : are you serious ? you do n't give a damn about anything but the ratings here because you are a cold , heartless bitch ! amelia : i 'm not the one who seduced and marred five men just to rob them blind . elizabeth : i 'm sorry to interrupt . amelia : detective spencer , how can i help you ? elizabeth : lucky and i have decided to make an appeal to the kidnapper and we were hoping we could do it on your show . sam : no . [ scene_break ] spinelli : please tell me that what just happened in the hallway was a figment of my imagination , or that my alarmingly low blood sugar caused my ears to deceive me , because there was no way that the simian one deserves an apology from you . in fact , he is so far beneath you on the evolutionary scale that you guys are n't even in the same species . lulu : okay , i appreciate that , but i do n't need to be protected . logan did n't do anything wrong , i should 've been more sensitive . spinelli : okay , i guess it would be dismaying to learn that the earthworm , baldwin , is anyone 's parental unit . but in the case of the unworthy one , the crabby apple does n't fall too far from the tree . logan : you know what ? i 've had just about enough of your crap . lulu : stop it , stop it , both of you . that was uncalled for . yes , logan has an attitude , but even at his worst , he is nothing like his father . scott baldwin killed rick webber and let my mom take the blame . he drove her to a breakdown , and has filed for custody so that my dad will never see her again . scott baldwin is a liar and a coward , so to say logan is anything like his father is just cruel . logan : baldwin 's not my father . he 's just some guy who got my mother pregnant and bailed . lulu : yes , and you 've been taking it out on the world ever since . how is that working out for you ? that 's what i thought . so the way that i see it is you have two choices , okay ? you can either let the anger continue to build up inside of you , or you can do something about it . so what 's it going to be ? [ scene_break ] robin : can i speak to you in the lounge ? patrick : i 'm busy at the moment . robin : we are going to have this fight , whether it 's right here where dr. ford can walk in and reprimand us , or if a patient gets off the elevator and sees two doctors fighting like a couple of high school kids . or we can at least try and be professional and take it to the lounge . patrick : look , before you start reprimanding me , let me just tell you it does n't matter what you say , i am not changing my position . robin : oh . patrick : i am a better doctor than my father . i have n't spent 15 years pickling my brain with alcohol , and i 'm not making up for a series of botched surgeries . robin : of course you are . you are constantly trying to prove that you are not going to fail the way that noah did . that 's why you can recite the details of every surgery your father screwed up -- the patients , the conditions , the alleged error in judgment . patrick : `` alleged `` ? robin : you know who was assisting , you know exactly what part of the procedure noah had to stop . you know everything about it . patrick : it was always the same problem , robin -- he was too drunk to finish the procedure . the brilliant dr. noah drake crashed and burned , and he damned near took my career down with him . robin : okay , fighter pilots crash and burn , surgeons operate -- sometimes i do n't think you know the difference . patrick : wow . so now i 'm incompetent ? robin : no , you just take risks when you do n't need to just to prove that you 're the best . patrick : wow . i had no idea much you resented me . robin : i love you -- enough to tell you when i think you 're out of line . [ scene_break ] lucky : why do n't you want to help us find our son ? sam : appearing on this show is n't going to help . elizabeth : how can you say that ? `` everyday heroes `` has millions of viewers . it only takes one person to recognize jake to bring him home ! amelia : elizabeth is right . the most important thing is getting jake 's picture out there . i 'll tell you what -- i can give you two minutes at the top and bottom of this week 's show to air your appeal . lucky : that would be great . we really appreciate anything you can do . elizabeth : thank you . amelia : you know , i can run it as a lead - in , book a few experts to talk about how parents can keep their kids safe . we can devote the entire hour to jake 's kidnapping . maybe it 'll help generate some new leads . sam : are you kidding me ? you do n't care , you do n't want to help them find jake . amelia : i 'm not the one refusing to have them on the show . sam : no , amelia is using you . she wants to milk your pain and your suffering to drive up the ratings . elizabeth : if it brings jake home , i do n't really care . jason : the longer jake is missing , the worse the chances get that he 'll ever be found . [ scene_break ] carly : what are you going to do ? jason : whatever i can do . i need to do something . i know that you do n't like elizabeth , but i have to help somehow , carly . carly : no , wait a second . lucky is my cousin , okay , and his son 's missing , so everything that can be done should be . jason : right . carly : you just got out on bail . if you go out there looking for jake , it 's going to hurt your case , and maybe you do n't care , but i do . all right , you 're the one person in my life that can calm me down and tell me to breathe . you mean everything to me , and -- and you 're more than my best friend . man : what are you two doing in here ? carly : uh -- we were down here checking on some pipes and -- um -- everything 's fine . everything 's okay . man : i guess it 's a good thing i came down here when i did . carly : yes , it is , yeah . jason : you going to be okay ? carly : yeah , i 'm good . i 'm okay . jason : okay . [ scene_break ] jerry : ugh ! [ jerry coughs ] sonny : save your speech ! i already heard it from jax -- our families are linked together . how emily quartermaine 's going to face espionage charges if you wind up dead . you should 've run when you had the chance , mr. craig ! jerry : well , i would 've if it were n't for my brother . you , of all people , should understand that complicated dynamic knowing the type of brother that you have . you see , jax is the only reason i went to all this trouble . he has a life here , one that i want to be a part of . sonny : you stay the hell away form my family . jerry : i have no intention of hurting carly or your sons -- or anyone else , for that matter . the only reason for me coming forward as jerry jacks is to let james craig and his high crimes die a natural death . i 'm not foolish enough to think that you would n't kill me , given the adequate provocation . sonny : you 're still breathing , are n't you ? consider me provoked . [ scene_break ] scott : well , tracy , you certainly have done your research . tracy : is n't it amazing what you can dig up with a little incentive and a whole lot of money ? scott : well , you know what ? you wasted a whole lot of money and a lot of time . because all this proves is that i was in hollingsbeck , texas , in the 1980s . i certainly would know if i had fathered a son down there . tracy : you do , which is why you 're working so hard to cover your butt . scott : i -- i do not have a son ! tracy : okay , well , you can tell that to the press , and while you 're at it , i 'm sure they 'll be amused to find out that you left him in a trailer park in hollingsbeck , texas . scott : okay , okay , okay , enough of this nonsense here . now , if you want to spend your golden years playing checkers and eating chipped beef on toast in cellblock c , you better tell me where luke took laura ! tracy : i have no idea . scott : now , let me remind you again -- i am your only way out of this nut house , tracy ! tracy : and i am your only way of keeping your job . so , either you drop the charges against me , or you 're going to be chasing ambulances again . scott : ah -- come on . who is going to believe the ramblings of some crazy woman ? lulu : i will . [ scott groans ] scott : what 's he doing here ? wait a second , is -- is that the loser that you hired to impersonate my son ? [ scene_break ] robin : every time you go into the o.r . , you 're proving something about yourself and your father . and so far , it 's worked in your favor , it 's driven you to excel . but maybe it is time to stop competing with noah and just admit that he is also an excellent surgeon with something to contribute . patrick : look , robin , my father and i argue , that 's a given . some of it is emotional baggage , and some of it is a difference in professional opinion . the point is you gave the case to my father in part to get back at me . now , tell me the truth , did you even call marucci or lawrence ? or did you get so mad that i walked away that that 's why you gave the case to my dad -- to get back at me ? robin : the absolute truth -- patrick : please . robin : i was pissed when you walked away , and i thought to myself , you know what ? i should just give this patient to noah . it 's his area of expertise anyway . but then i thought , no , it would make you mad . so i picked up the phone and called marucci . and then i stopped myself , because i thought , you know what ? noah is the best surgeon for this procedure . i knew that it would make you mad ; i knew that we would have this fight , and , yes , i could 've avoided it . but that 's not the kind of relationship i want to have , where i go against my better judgment just to keep the peace ? so , yeah , i guess i was proving something -- that you and i can completely disagree and still love each other . [ scene_break ] kate : cancel the painters and the plumber for tomorrow , and call the contractor , tell him his services will no longer be needed . clarice : but the house is n't even close to being finished . kate : clarice , will you just take care of it ? renovations are the least of my worries at the moment . carly : where are my boys ? kate : i do n't see how that 's any of my concern . carly : you called me and said there was an emergency , my boys have been with sonny all day , i 'm sure you have something else to blame on them . where are they ? kate : i called because i thought you might want to stop sonny before he murders your brother - in - law . [ scene_break ] jason : hey . you got to put more guards on carly and the boys . jerry 's back in town . sonny : i already saw him . jason : and , what , is he still alive ? sonny : kate howard showed up when i was letting jerry know -- in graphic terms -- what i 'd do to him if he came anywhere near my children . jason : okay , wait a minute ; do you think she 's going to say anything ? sonny : i do n't think so , but you know what ? if jerry turns up dead , then we might have a problem with kate howard . when did you find out that jerry was back ? jason : carly called me , jerry showed up at the house . sonny : did he threaten her ? jason : you know what ? i do n't -- i do n't think so . she 's mostly mad because jerry tricked jax into leaving town . sonny : okay , she had leticia bring the kids by the house . i do n't like her staying at that house by herself . i 'm going to have our people on her 24/7 . jason : i would take care of that myself , but i got to look for jake . sonny : where you going to start ? jason : with sam .

[ scene_break ] logan : there is not enough money in this world to get me to call a loser like you my father . scott : ah , shut up , you . you would sell your mother if the price was right . lulu : back off . scott : you know , lulu , i am sorry that you chose to get involved in this . lulu : why do you even pretend to care about me after all the ways you 've hurt my family , especially my mother ? i do n't blame logan for wishing he was n't related to you . [ scott sighs ] scott : you know , i do n't know what tracy offered you , but you do not want to go to prison for fraud and extortion . that 's what 'll happen if you try and blackmail me . so , take my advice before you run around town telling everybody that you 're my long - lost son . you do not want me as your enemy . ugh . [ door opens and closes ] lulu : i 'm so sorry . i did n't know that he was going to be here . i just thought that if you had all the facts , maybe you would be interested in helping -- not that he was going to be here . logan : i know all i need to know . thanks .

[ scene_break ] amelia : look , i get that you envy elizabeth , but refusing to help her find her missing child takes jealousy to a whole new level . sam : oh , do n't you dare pretend that you care about finding jake . amelia : right . it 's all about the ratings . sam : yes . that and payback . i mean , you blame me for your father 's death . you would like to torture me . i know this . amelia : how is encouraging you to find a kidnapped boy torture ? sam : how ? well , gee , let me see -- uh -- a setup . because you set me up every other time . so why would n't it be ? you like to jerk me around . amelia : try and grasp the fact that not everything is about you . a little boy is missing . the child of the man that you claim to love . i would imagine you would do everything in your power to help find jake . unless , of course , you 're the one that took him . [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , here 's the deal . i 've had our people watching sam . so far , they have no reason to believe she was involved in the disappearance . jason : sonny , i -- i want to be wrong , okay ? but something 's just -- it 's -- something 's a little off . sam is not acting like herself . sonny : okay , you got elizabeth pregnant ; you lied about it for months . that could get sam angry . jason : angry enough to kidnap jake ? sonny : i 'm not defending sam . you have every right to not trust her after everything she 's been hiding , but you have to look at the facts . the baby was taken , what , two days ago from the park ? jason : yeah , two days ago , yes . sonny : okay , she -- sam has n't disappeared . she 's gone to the penthouse , slept at the penthouse . she 's gone to work . so if she has the kid , where 's the kid ? jason : i do n't -- i do n't know . [ scene_break ] kate : i walked in to sonny 's office and i found him standing over jerry , threatening to `` cut his heart out . `` carly : and ? kate : this was no empty threat . sonny was cold and detached , and he was treating jerry like he was a problem to be handled , not a living , breathing human being . carly : jerry deserves everything he gets . kate : oh . how can you have no reaction when i tell you that your -- your husband 's brother 's life 's been threatened ? carly : because sonny has excellent reason to hate jerry , and if jax were standing here right now , he 'd tell you himself . jerry 's a very dangerous man , kate . kate : okay , well , apparently , so is sonny . oh -- he was cold and -- and detached , and i do n't see how you could spend all those years in marriage not feeling -- feeling troubled , or -- god , appalled at what he does for a living . carly : it 's one thing to hear rumors about what sonny does for a living . it 's another thing to come face to face with it . if you have a problem with what you saw today , it 's best you walk away -- now , before you get too involved . [ scene_break ] tracy : well , i appreciate the extra effort . it must not have been easy to hire somebody on such short notice . lulu : logan is from hollingsbeck , texas . scott got his mom pregnant and walked out before he was born . tracy : you 're kidding . and he just showed up in port charles in time to help me blackmail scott ? lulu : no , logan 's known that scott was his father all along . it was n't until one of his old war buddies came to port charles that he decided to come to town and see scott for himself . i thought that if i showed him all the information that the investigator dug up that he 'd want to turn the tables on scott and help you get out , but i guess i was wrong . tracy : well , if he really is scott 's son , he -- he 's valuable leverage . lulu : yeah , but you saw what happened . logan wants no part in this . tracy : you 're a persuasive girl . you 'll find a way to make him change his mind . [ scene_break ] patrick : i spoke to my father about the hallstead case . robin : why did you do that , after everything we just talked about ? patrick : well , i offered to assist . he said it 's his surgery , he makes the calls . if he needs me , i 'm there . maybe i 'll learn something . robin : noah turned you down ? patrick : of course he did . as much as i 'm an arrogant , opinionated bastard , so is my father . look , i just wanted you to know that -- that i made the gesture . robin : i appreciate that . patrick : i do n't know if i 'll ever trust my father as a surgeon , completely . i 'm too afraid that if he fails , it 'll reflect badly on my reputation , but that 's for me to deal with . and i 'm glad that you do n't hold the same prejudice . my father was a brilliant surgeon . sometimes , i think in his prime , maybe he was better than me . robin : huh . patrick drake is having a moment of self - doubt ? i did n't think it was possible . patrick : okay , easy . do n't tell anyone , okay ? a good surgeon is supposed to have nerves of steel and an ego to match . robin : well , you should have both , then , because you 're the best of the best . patrick : you sure about that ? robin : hmm -- positive . we both know that i 'm never wrong .

[ scene_break ] lulu : no , it 's not a matter of supporting dante , because i stood by him when everyone told me to walk away . no friends and family saw him as this lying cop who would do whatever it takes to take sonny down , even it meant hurting michael . but what they did n't see is he was trying to save michael , and he had the courage of his convictions , which made me love him even more . olivia : like i said , he always does what he thinks is right . lulu : but putting himself in a position where he has to trust jason is n't right . and i want to be supportive and i want to support his decisions , but i ca n't if i think he 's dead wrong . olivia : but obviously dante feels like it 's worth the rest if it takes franco off the street , and i ca n't say that i blame him . honey , the guy almost killed you . you ca n't fault dante for wanting to keep you safe . lulu : so dante gets to protect me but i do n't get to protect him ? how is that fair ? if something happens to dante , it 's not only his life that 's going to be changed . this decision affects mine , too . should n't i have a say ? olivia : okay . honey ... i 'm not telling you that you always have to go along with whatever dante says or to be some kind of a spineless cheerleader for him . god knows that i shook my pom - poms for that kid all his life , and he still does n't listen to half of what i say . he listens to his gut . always . just like he did in the situation with michael . this franco thing is no different . lulu : with michael , he was trusting a judge who has morals and principles . jason does n't have any . olivia : okay , but that 's dante 's decision to make . okay , if he 's decided that it 's his duty to get franco off the street , he will do anything to make that happen , including team up with jason .

[ scene_break ] mcbain : you okay ? sam : i guess . i do n't know . i 'm busy , which is good . it 's just that when everything goes quiet , i tend to fall into this dark hole , and all i can think about is how everything should be different . you know , i should n't be sitting in a bar in the middle of the afternoon . i should be in a park , pushing a stroller . mcbain : you 're sitting in a bar . sam : yeah , i 'm in a bar . why not ? nobody needs me . i do n't mean to sound dramatic , but it 's true . mcbain : i keep thinking about it , too , you know . every day . you know -- wondering , is there something i missed ? sam : none of this is your fault . mcbain : it 's like you said , you know . you keep going over things in your head . you know , like , i just wish there was something i could do to help you . sam : well , i think just listening , believe it or not , is very helpful . attendant : please fasten your seat belts and turn off all electronic devices . sam : are in a plane ? mcbain : yeah . in new york . we 're , um , we 're waiting for connecting passengers . sam : oh , i should probably let you go , then . mcbain : look , i , uh -- i 'm glad you called . take care of yourself , sam . sam : i 'll try . you too . have a safe flight , john . mcbain : thanks . [ scene_break ] kristina : i 'm trying to figure out if you feel sorry for kate or it you 're relieved she confessed . johnny : a little bit of both , i guess . i mean , i feel terrible for her . she 's mentally ill . she needs help , not punishment . but at the same time , as soon as sonny was acquitted , i was the prime suspect . kristina : not like you have n't been a suspect before . johnny : no , this was different . this got in the way of my new project , which , by the way , what do you think ? kristina : about the remodel ? johnny : mm - hmm . kristina : i like it . johnny : oh , wow . kristina : it makes it look more current . it 's good . johnny : some place you 'd come to with your friends , listen to music ? kristina : yeah , i 'll even bring my cameras , give you some free publicity . johnny : yeah , so , what 's up with that , anyway ? trying to give the kardashians a run for their money ? kristina : something like that . johnny : or maybe it 's about that producer . what 's that clown 's name ? kristina : trey . he 's -- he 's a grad student in the film department at yale . johnny : mm . maybe -- maybe you like trey . and maybe that 's the real incentive behind this project , huh ? [ scene_break ] trey : okay , come on . look , the woman killed your boyfriend and child . i mean , you got to be thrilled that she 's going down , right ? starr : trey , i 'm not . can you please put the camera down ? please . she is desperate . she 's seriously ill . trey : and she 's seriously guilty . michael : kate has n't even been arraigned yet , all right ? and besides , there 's such a thing as mitigating circumstances . like when the defendant is mentally ill . trey : oh . oh , yeah , so is that why they let you go from prison after you whacked your stepmom , because -- 'cause you were mentally ill ? starr : could you be a bigger ass ? ! michael : the judge showed me some leniency , and he gave me an early parole . hopefully kate does n't even get sentenced at all . trey : yeah , do n't bet on that . all right , based on what we just saw down at the courthouse , kate howard , fashion mogul , is headed straight down the runway to jail . [ scene_break ] daniel : your honor , the defendant has made a signed statement admitting her involvement in the shooting that took place on highway 115 on the night of february 24th of this year . the defendant confessed to shooting the rear tires on a vehicle driven by anthony zacchara , forcing his car into oncoming traffic and resulting in the deaths -- judge sawyer : i 'm familiar with the case , mr. chen . i believe mr. corinthos , who 's present in this courtroom , was initially charged with the incident . alexis : and found not guilty , your honor . judge sawyer : if you 'll allow me to make my point , ms. davis , seeing as this is my courtroom . alexis : sorry , your honor . judge sawyer : mr. chen , i strongly caution the d.a . 's office against bringing charges that you can not reasonably expect to prove . you 've already wasted the court 's resources once on this case . there wo n't be a second time . daniel : your honor , the defendant has already admitted her guilt . alexis : and if you review ms. howard 's statement and the medical documentation , you will see that there 's no case to prove . accordingly , the defense moves that the court drop the charges . judge sawyer : on what grounds ? alexis : on the grounds that the person that committed these crimes does not exist . [ scene_break ] carly : here 's a copy of your lease . as a thank - you for doing business with us , you have complimentary use of the hotel spa . todd : wow . thanks . now i may never leave . carly : that 's what i want to hear . todd : you like having me around ? carly : yeah , with the price you 're paying per square foot , i 'm thrilled . todd : wow . i thought you liked me . carly : i would have given that to your assistant , but -- todd : you `` like `` like me . i sent sam home for the rest of the day . carly : sam ? todd : yeah . carly : sam morgan ? todd : yeah .

[ scene_break ] attendant : sir , we 're ready for takeoff , so you 'll have to take your seat . jason : can you , uh , put me someplace else ? attendant : i 'm sorry , sir , it 's a full flight . mcbain : lots of people headed to new orleans these days . jason : maybe somebody would like to switch . somebody -- mcbain : would you prefer the aisle seat ? allow me . [ sighs ] jason : was that my wife you were talking to ? mcbain : this is gon na be a long flight . she 's okay , by the way . she just needed to talk . sam 's strong . she 's gon na make it through this . jason : i do n't need you to tell me about my wife . mcbain : right . this is quite a coincidence -- you , uh , you flying down to new orleans . sonny sent you . he sent you to go get joe jr. , did n't he ? 'cause he knows joe jr. is gon na contradict that story he fed me about joe killing my sister . jason : this has nothing to do with you or your sister . she was n't the only woman joe jr. hurt . [ scene_break ] sam : so , jason is checking his itinerary with you . elizabeth : i happened to be there when he got the call -- sam : you know what ? never mind . i do n't care elizabeth : that 's not true . sam : [ scoffs ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] sam -- i know you 're grieving , and i know anger seems like a safe place to push all the pain -- but you ca n't keep lashing out at jason . it 's not gon na fix anything . he wants to help you . but he 's hanging on by a thread . when he came over the other night -- sam : wait , wait , wait , wait a minute . what do you mean ? he came over to your house ? elizabeth : he needed someone to talk to . sam : oh , of course . and there you were . elizabeth : what 'd you expect me to do , slam the door in his face ? you 've made it perfectly clear you do n't want anything to do with him . sam : no . absolutely . you are right . i did . i just did n't expect you to make your move so fast . [ scene_break ] carly : you hired jason 's wife as your assistant ? todd : yeah . is there a city ordinance against hiring a married woman ? carly : no . it 's just odd . sam 's a p.i . she has her own firm . why would she want to be your assistant ? todd : uh , she says that , you know , her partner in the investigative firm , spinelli , is really close with her soon - to - be ex - husband and that , you know , proximity makes her really -- carly : okay , she does n't want to be around jason , and now she ca n't be around spinelli either ? todd : she holds jason responsible for the death of her child . carly : i get it . i feel for sam , okay ? she 's grieving . but she 's wrong . i mean , jason 's not responsible for what happened to that baby . todd : that is not for me to say . carly : no , i want you to understand this , all right ? todd : okay . carly : sam was in shock after she had that baby . she 's the one that took the little thing and walked out -- todd : sam wants to make a fresh start . really -- who can blame her ? after everything she 's been through . carly : okay , so you 're doing this because you 're trying to be compassionate . todd : yeah . i guess . sure . carly : there 's a symmetry there . todd : i do n't see it . carly : see , johnny 's doing the same thing for your daughter . he 's trying to give starr a fresh start . [ scene_break ] johnny : `` mob princess . `` subtle . kristina : it 's supposed to be ironic . anyway , reality is what they 're buying these days . if you want to get anywhere in hollywood , you got to follow the rules . maybe this producer trey knows about how pissed off you are at your father and he wants to exploit you . kristina : now you sound like michael . yes , i am mad at my dad . i have every right to be . does n't make this project any less legitimate . people are fascinated by the mob . they want to know what goes on behind those closed doors . trey and i are gon na show them . johnny : you know better than that , kristina . i 'm surprised your father has n't give trey and his cameraman over there a one - way ticket to the bottom of the harbor . kristina : if my father hurts trey or does n't cooperate with this project , he 's just proving my point . johnny : what , that you 're a princess ? look , you know how i feel about sonny , and he deserves whatever you got coming to him , but what about your mom , huh ? she loves you . and if she was part of that plan that -- kristina : she was n't part of it . it was her idea . johnny : she told you that ? kristina : she did n't have to . johnny : okay , so how about you give her credit for helping you achieve something that you wanted to do ? kristina : she 's a hypocrite . all she does is lecture about ethics and principles and personal responsibility and then goes on pretending she 's so much better than my dad . in a way , she 's worse . johnny : i bet if you took a closer look at all the other kids that got into yale , i bet they had some personal connections . their families were maybe just a little more subtle than yours . kristina : that 's my point exactly . you ca n't just muscle your way into yale and hope to survive , which is what my father failed to realize and why i 'm so furious at him -- something you 'd understand . [ scene_break ] trey : starr , the woman tried to kill your family . do n't you want justice ? starr : how is sending a mentally ill woman to prison justice ? i have to go . trey : look , i 'll drive you , then . starr : what ? and bring the cameras into the courtroom ? i do n't think so , trey . michael : i 'll drive you , all right ? starr : thank you . michael : i 'm going , anyway . [ scene_break ] johnny : your boyfriend 's a little pushy . kristina : he 's not my boyfriend . and i 'm into pushy , or have you forgotten ? johnny : [ chuckles ] yeah . kristina : i ca n't blame you for hating my dad after everything he 's done to you . johnny : yeah , but what has going after sonny ever gotten me , huh ? he hits me . i hit him . only it 's not just me and him . there 's other people involved . kristina : collateral damage . johnny : it 's got to stop . trey : oh , no , no . do n't stop now . this is money in the bank . [ scene_break ] alexis : dr. keenan , you were attacked by ms. howard . is that correct ? ewen : i was attacked by ms. howard 's alternate personality . i do n't hold ms. howard accountable . alexis : can you identify this alter ? ewen : yes . she calls herself connie falconeri . she 's a separate and distinct entity . and at the time of the attack , she had no control over connie 's actions . alexis : was miss howard responsible for killing anthony zacchara ? ewen : no . kate has no memory of the shooting . alexis : was connie responsible ? ewen : connie claims she shot out anthony 's tires . whether that 's true , i ca n't say . alexis : thank you . i have no further questions . your honor , from dr. keenan 's testimony , ms. howard is not responsible . she was suffering from an illness that she ca n't control . daniel : that has yet to be proven , your honor . alexis : there 's precedent . pennsylvania v. buchanan . murder charges were dropped against a woman with d.i.d . daniel : that was pennsylvania , your honor . this is new york . judge sawyer : i 'm aware of where my court is , counselor . alexis : i have the case for perusal , should you choose . i ask that the charges against my client be dropped and that ms. howard be allowed to resume her treatment with dr. keenan and that she resume her position as a productive member of society . thank you . judge sawyer : ms. howard 's difficulties notwithstanding , i have a duty to the people of this state and to the victims of her crime . i can not in good conscience dismiss the charges . motion denied . alexis : your honor , i respectfully -- judge sawyer : counselor , you made a motion , and i denied it . if you want to introduce another motion , feel free to write it up , but i will not be considering it today . alexis : your honor , i , again -- judge sawyer : the world would be an easier place , ms. davis , if we could just go around committing crimes then claiming we do n't remember so that we do not have to be responsible . alexis : this is not a question of remembering . my client has a disease , and she did n't understand that -- judge sawyer : i 'm sympathetic about ms. howard 's illness , but what about her victims ? starr : i was a victim , your honor . may i be heard ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so it 's okay for you to call john mcbain , but it 's not okay for jason to talk to me ? sam : i am not having this conversation with you . elizabeth : well , that 's too bad , 'cause we 're having it . [ scene_break ] mcbain : who else did joe jr. hurt ? you had a sister . jason : yeah , that 's right . mcbain : she was murdered , was n't she ? jason : as long as you get justice for your sister , what does it matter where it comes from ? mcbain : well , see , you and i , we probably have two different views on what justice is . i mean , i know your version of justice . you probably got an untraceable gun in some locker in a new orleans bus station . you pick it up , you take joe jr. out , you 're on the next flight back home . but now i 've seen you . i know you 're here . so it gets a little sloppy . so maybe you grab joe jr. and you take him back to sonny so he can do the honors himself . let 's get one thing straight . neither of those scenarios are gon na happen . maybe joe jr. -- maybe he did , he killed my sister . or maybe he 's the witness that can i.d . sonny . either way -- joe scully jr. is mine . jason : yeah , we 'll see . mcbain : yeah . we 'll see .

[ scene_break ] todd : do n't compare me to johnny zacchara . first of all , i would never cheat on you . carly : oh , well , that 's good to know . todd : second of all , he gave a child a gun . carly : he did not . todd : where did starr get the gun that she went after sonny with ? carly : johnny had no idea that starr took the gun . todd : right . since johnny never lies -- carly : starr admitted that she stole that gun . todd : he put it on a coffee table in a box right in front of her . he practically begged her to take the gun -- carly : johnny is trying to help starr ! he bought out her contract . he 's gon na let her sing at the club . he is trying to help her move her life along . [ sighs ] todd : starr is not exactly a street urchin , you know . why does johnny think that starr needs all this charity ? carly : i could ask the same thing about you ! why are you trying to help sam ? what 's your deep dark motive ? you do n't have one . you 're helping sam out of the goodness of your heart , and johnny 's doing the same thing . todd : would n't go that far .

[ scene_break ] carly : sonny will do anything for me and the baby . you could trade us . and in return , sonny could let you run drugs through port charles . think about it . you get piles of money and you get to humiliate sonny in the process . sonny would just hate having to open his territory to you . lorenzo : i 've considered that option . i admit , it has its appeal . carly : so you get everything you want . you get money , you get revenge . lorenzo : but the beautiful part about the situation is i have time . your baby is n't due until november . as far as lansing goes , sane or insane , he 's irrelevant . he 's not in control . i am . you may believe we 're in a partnership . he 's a means to an end , no more significant to me than the tailor who does my suits . actually , i have a harder time pleasing my tailor . carly : do you know why sonny and ric have this issue ? ric hates him because of something that happened in childhood . i mean , do you have children , lorenzo ? or nieces or nephews or anything ? it does n't matter . i mean , we were all children . you were even a child once . children get mad , right ? they -- they throw temper tantrums , and this is what it 's all about for ric . his whole vendetta is about a little boy who threw a temper tantrum . [ scene_break ] lucky : you 're really in love with emily , are n't you ? nikolas : well , we 're getting married . lucky : well , something about your engagement seemed off to me . nikolas : what , because it was so fast ? lucky : maybe . nikolas : i mean , because , you know , that 's -- that 's how things happen sometimes , just -- bam -- out of nowhere . it 's like being struck by lightning , i guess . we blink and blink , and the world 's a different place than it was a second ago . if you 're fortunate , it gets better . sometimes it get worse . usually a little bit of both . either way , you 're in it and there 's no turning back . [ scene_break ] lydia : spoon island is teeming with guards and servants . any one of them could 've overheard you , and you do n't exactly inspire loyalty in your employees . stefan : you saw someone , but it was n't a servant . who was it ? lydia : no one . stefan : who did you see , lydia ? lydia : i told you , no one . but the bluff is a crime scene and summer 's death is still being investigated . who 's to say scott baldwin or one of his merry band are n't lurking around ? stefan : the police already have a suspect . they 're focused on apprehending luke spencer . the only one who 's still convinced of his innocence is lucky . lucky 's on the island , is n't he ? lydia : i have n't the slightest idea where lucky is . i do n't keep track of him . but if he had been on the bluff earlier , he 'd know all about our plans for nikolas . stefan : i 'll have your friend lucky removed from the estate immediately . nikolas : lucky 's welcome on spoon island whenever he wants to come . and as my brother , he has unlimited access to my estate . and , you , if you 're so bound and determined to marry a cassadine , why do n't you go after my uncle here ? you 're very well - matched together . lydia : oh , and what is that supposed to mean ? nikolas : you 're both obsessed with money and you 'll do anything to get it . but , see , i want to give credit where credit is due here . that whole sensitivity act thing you did ? that was a nice strategy . and it might 've been convincing if i was n't engaged to a woman who really does have a heart .

[ laughs ] we 're not close at all . well , uh -- we -- well , not until now . you know , i was very surprised when ava called and invited me here . uh , well , actually , `` surprised `` is not really the word . the word is actually more like , uh -- oh , yeah , i know . `` suspicious . `` sonny : why would you be suspicious of your own daughter ? delia : well , because ava always has ulterior motives , just like her mother . right , baby ? sonny : and what do you think ava 's ulterior motive is right now ? delia : uh , i do n't think she 's got one . i think she 's on the up - and - up 'cause i think it 's all about family for her . sonny : oh . well , there 's nothing more important than that . ai n't that right , ava ? family ? delia : and i 'm so excited that she 's making me a grandmother again . it 's so great because we 're gon na have the chance to connect like we always should have -- mother , daughter , grandbaby - daddy . sonny : how long did ava invite you up here to visit for ? delia : visit ? sonny : mm - hmm . delia : i 'm not here to visit . i 'm moving in . carly : i 'm sorry . franco said what ? michael : he had something to tell me about dad -- something i would n't like . carly : did he ?

you saw his name right there . he did n't care to report the accident , but he cared to get his fricking car fixed ? sam : no , no . this is why there must be some mistake . i know silas better than anyone , and i 'm telling you -- the person you 're describing -- that -- that is not silas . rafe : hey , uncle silas . silas : hey . what a nice surprise . rafe : yeah . uh , how -- how is everything , you know , with -- with nina ? silas : she 's in physical therapy as we speak . we 're gon na have her back on her feet in no time . rafe : that 's -- that 's great . but , uh -- silas : but that 's not what you were asking , was it ? rafe : well , it 's just i know things have been awkward between you two and sam . silas : yeah , i know things seem odd . they -- they are odd , but i do n't want that stressing you . all right ? i 'm -- i 'm gon na make sure this all works out . okay ? rafe : yeah . silas : so , what brings you to my neck of the woods ? rafe : actually , uh , i have a favor to ask of you . silas : you got it . what do you need ? rafe : could i ... possibly borrow some money ? silas : that 's the favor ? you got it . how much you need ? rafe : $ 400 . silas : well , i have n't exactly got that on me . um , what do you say we back up for a second , and you tell me why you need that much money ? travis : i 'm sorry , nina . or -- or should i call you mrs. clay ? i - i know that someone touching you might be uncomfortable at first , but rest assured i am a professional and that everything we do together is a bona fide part of your therapy . nina : i do n't care what it is . you 're not groping my leg , and i do n't need physical therapy . travis : i know that some patients are resistant to the very idea of therapy , but from your medical records and what rosalie has shared , you were in a coma for a very long time . we need to go through this together if i 'm gon na get you out of that chair . nina : let me ask you a question ... travis . does it look like i have a problem getting out of this chair ? patrick : come on , sam . we both saw his name right here on this damn computer , okay ? silas brought his car into this garage to get fixed . sam : i 'm not denying that , but it could just be a coincidence . patrick : it 's not a coincidence . sam : it could be . silas does drive a similar make and model of the car that was used in the accident . it does n't mean it 's the same car . patrick : it 's a black sports car with damage all the way down the passenger side , okay ? did he tell you if he got in an accident ? did he mention anything like that ? sam : no , he -- he did n't , but that -- that does n't prove anything . patrick : okay , you know what will ? sam : what ? what are you gon na do ? patrick : answers -- i 'm going to get answers from silas . silas : i 'm not sure , but 400 bucks seems like a nice chunk of change for a kid your age . rafe : yeah , i know . it 's just , uh ... there -- there 's this camping trip . silas : a camping trip ? rafe : yeah . yeah . a couple friends of mine from school are going , and , uh , i thought it might be fun to go with . silas : sounds great . i guess you must have patched things up with molly and tj . rafe : uh , no . no , they 're -- they 're not cong with . it 's -- it 's other friends from school . silas : is that right ? rafe : yeah , you -- you would n't know them . silas : no , i probably would n't , would i ? i have n't -- i have n't been as present in your life lately as what i 'd like to be . rafe : sure you have . silas : no . you know , it 's just i 've been -- been busy here with my patients and -- and then there 's sam and nina , and i guess i just -- i dropped the ball when it came to you . i keep doing that , do n't i ? rafe : no , you -- you 've been great , uncle silas . silas : let me own this , okay ? it 's the only way i 'm gon na do better by you . rafe : okay . silas : you know , the thing is , the way -- the way you were raised -- you know , with your mom and the things that you went through , i guess i just took for granted that you were a good kid with a good head on your shoulders , and ... i never had to worry about you too much getting into trouble . travis : i was led to believe you could barely stand , let alone walk . rosalie : oh , a lot of people are led to believe things that are not true . get in line . travis : i do n't understand . if you do n't need physical therapy , why are we even here ? nina : oh . because we 're putting on a show for my husband . [ snapping fingers ] rosalie : oh , you are not snapping your -- nina : my checkbook . can you just give me ... thank you . um , as i was saying , we 're putting on a show for my husband , and you , my friend , have just been added to the cast . sonny : so , you 're moving in ? is that right ? delia : well , ava told me she 's going through a very difficult pregnancy -- something about not being able to leave the house . right , honey ? ava : yes , yes . that 's right , mother . i 'm utterly housebound . sonny has even assigned guards to be sure that i do n't hurt myself . delia : what a great guy . you know , you 're a good egg , corinthos . sonny : yeah , i do what i can , delia . but you know what ? i got it under control . you do n't have to stay . delia : oh . well , that 's very kind of you , and i know i do n't really want to leave roger back in new york , but i think my baby girl needs me . so , i just want to thank you so much for giving your blessing for letting me shack up -- sonny : actually , i did n't . delia : [ chuckling ] oh , really ? ah , like i said , ava 's always got something up her sleeve . ava : [ chuckles ] you know , uh , mother , um , i could really use some decaf tea . so , do you think you could , uh , whip some up for me ? delia : oh , yeah , yeah . ava : and then it 'll give sonny and me a chance to talk this over . delia : okay . all right . i 'll take myself to the kitchen , and i 'll find something that 's good for your pregnancy . oh , you know , my ex - sister - in - law siobhan -- uh , she always had these hippie - dippie herbal teas that were good for pregnancy . so , um , i 'll go find one . i hope there 's a good selection there in the kitchen ... wherever that might be . ava : mom . mom . delia : what ? oh . okay . ava : [ chuckles ] delia : i 'll find it . no , i wo n't . oh , okay . ava : [ exhales deeply ] well , i sure hope delia did n't upset you . sonny : not at all . ava : really ? not even a little ? sonny : uh , no , 'cause , uh , i know what you 're up to , lady . ai n't gon na work . carly : you bastard . you were about to tell michael that sonny shot a.j . ? franco : sonny corinthos deserves everything that 's coming to him . carly : so you 're gon na blow michael 's life apart ? franco : i 'm finally gon na tell michael the truth . the sooner he knows the truth about sonny , the sooner he can be free from sonny . carly : michael does n't want to be free from his father ! franco : you can be free from sonny . believe me , carly -- the -- the quicker that sonny is out of your life , the better off you 'll be . carly : you are a hypocrite . how can you stand there and claim that you were gon na tell michael the truth because it 's the right thing to do ? franco : it is the right thing to do . carly : you would n't know the right thing to do if it jumped up and bit you in the ass ! you were gon na tell the truth to michael because you 're threatened by sonny . that 's why . yeah , you are . he got under your skin like he always does , and you just want to retaliate . franco : being threatened by -- by sonny is only a small part of this . carly : okay , so you tell me something , all right ? when you tell michael the truth he so deserves to hear , what then ? franco : michael turns his back on sonny . carly : i 'm not talking about sonny . i 'm talking about me and michael . what then , franco ? because if you tell my son what sonny did , and he knows that i was covering for sonny , that will absolutely destroy my relationship with him . both : [ chanting ] more greed 's not what we need . shame on you , elq . michael : i got here as soon as i could . what 's going on ? both : shame on you -- kiki : ugh , please stop chanting ! stop ! stop ! stop ! maxie : michael . michael : maxie ? maxie : hey . uh , did you have a chance to meet my boyfriend at the nurses ' ball ? michael : no , i did not . levi : levi dunkleman . michael : michael corinthos , c.e.o . of elq . levi : you 're the one to blame for all of this . carly : i thought i could trust you . franco : of course you can trust me . carly : how can i trust a man that would risk my relationship with my son just so he can get back at my ex ? franco : but we 're talking about that now , right ? so , that 's not -- carly : i spent an hour with sonny convincing him that he had nothing to worry about from you because there 's no way you would tell michael the truth and risk your relationship with me . franco : carly , because you said that your relationship with me was important to you , right ? carly : of course it is . franco : okay , and then i walk in on you and sonny , and you 're -- you 're in the middle of this -- of this very -- it 's a moment , right ? carly : okay , you know what ? i have been talking and talking to you , but you 're not listening . franco : no , i heard you . you said that you just ran into him in the park and that he was looking for his nephew , and that was just an innocent hug between friends . carly : wow , and -- and you just do n't believe me . franco : carly , you have this whole history with the man . you and sonny -- you have all of this stuff . i -- yeah , you 'll have to forgive me , all right , if -- if i have moments of doubt . carly : you need to get your moments of doubt under control because morgan 's life is imploding , and if michael learned the truth about a.j . , it would destroy him . so , you bet your ass that sonny and i are gon na work together as parents to do whatever we have to do to protect our kids . franco : i can live with that . carly : then you live with this , franco . if you ca n't accept that sonny will always be a part of my life , i can not be with you anymore . franco : what , exactly , are you telling me , carly ? carly : i do n't know how else to say it , because i ca n't live with your jealousy . i ca n't . and you know what ? i - i ca n't live with this threat that the next time sonny pisses you off , you 're gon na run and tell michael the truth . franco : i ... i do n't know why i do some of the things that i do sometimes , carly . i do n't know . carly : that 's a problem . franco : yeah , i 'm trying . i 'm -- i 'm really trying . and i - i see sonny , and everything just kind of goes out the window . carly : no , do n't . do n't do that . not about sonny . this is about me and you . franco : i made a mistake . but do n't give up . do n't end us , please . you got to give me another chance . ava : oh , dear . which of my nefarious plans have you foiled now ? sonny : you said that , when i got rid of the booze , you were gon na find a way to make me suffer . ava : oh , what was i supposed to say ? you took the alcohol away . sonny : so this was your plan ? to have your mother move in here and drive me nuts ? ava : yeah . yes , all right . you got me . that 's the plan exactly , and the best part of it is you ca n't do anything about it . sonny : is that right ? ava : that 's right . you ca n't bump her off because her entire family knows that she 's here with me in your house . sonny : well , everybody knows that you 're here with me , and i 'm still gon na kill you . ava : your code wo n't allow you to kill an innocent , and she has no part in this , so she is going to stay here with me -- unless you want me to tell her the real reason i ca n't leave this house . sonny : you do n't have to twist my arm . if she wants to stay here , i 'm happy . ava : really ? sonny : you tipped your hand too much , ava . it 's pretty obvious that your mother drives you more crazy than she drives me . ava : well , on the contrary . i find her quite charming . sonny : well , be prepared to be charmed because if your mother wants to stay here and bond with you , i am not gon na stand in the way , 'cause , unlike you ... i actually can leave this house . travis : what 's this ? rosalie : money . nina : yeah , lots and lots of it , and there 's more where that came from if you play along . rosalie : my boss is n't quite as broke as her husband thinks she is . nina : what is this -- like , a week 's worth ? rosalie : a month , easy . nina : a month ? wow . a month . i 'm still getting used to inflation . i 'm guesstimating on everything . so , um , travis . this is how it 's gon na go . my husband is going to bring me to these sessions , and you are gon na report back to him on all the progress i 'm making . travis : i do n't understand . where will you be while he thinks you 're here ? nina : that 's above your pay grade . travis : but it 's not that simple . dr. clay works here at the hospital . what am i supposed to tell him if he comes looking for you , and you 're not here ? rosalie : that , travis ... is a very good question . silas : i promise -- i 'm gon na do better . i 'm gon na be more involved in your life if you -- if you give me the chance . rafe : yeah , of course . silas : okay . what do you say when i get off my shift tonight , we go out , and we have some dinner , and we talk a little bit more about that camping trip ? rafe : [ sighs ] yeah , that sounds great . silas : i mean it . i know you 've lost a lot . believe people are gon na be with you for the long haul , but i 'm gon na figure out a way to make all this better . i may not have said it before , but i love you , kid . i 'm not letting you fall through the cracks . come here . sam : hey , hey ! hey , please , whatever you do , just do n't fly off the handle . you do n't know anything for sure yet . patrick : i do know that silas is doing rounds down at the hospital , and i 'm gon na ask him some questions . sam : okay , fine . i 'm coming with you . patrick : okay , sam , we have n't always gotten along , but after you lost jason , and i thought i lost robin , we became friends , right ? sam : yes . right . and i would never do anything to jeopardize -- patrick : if you 're trying to run interference between me and your boyfriend -- sam : patrick . stop . come on . i want to get to -- to the truth , too , no matter where it leads us . and to tell you i believe with everything inside of me that this is all a huge mistake . but whether it is or it is n't , as your friend , i need to make sure you go into this with an open mind . michael : so that 's why you 're against the waterfront revitalization project -- both of you ? levi : gentrification , man . the rich get richer , and the poor get poorer . michael : [ sighs ] elq is replacing abandoned buildings like this right here with -- with parks and condos and stores . levi : mate , not all the buildings were abandoned . there were homeless people squatting in some of them . michael : yeah , living without utilities in unsafe buildings . morgan : dude , you 're not even from port charles , so you obviously do n't know , but we have homeless shelters here . michael : yeah , maxie , maybe you could told your boyfriend here that both elq and corinthos coffee make large contributions to those shelters . maxie : yeah , we had n't actually talked about the whole homeless thing very much . i think levi -- and me , of course -- were just worried about that whole gentrification thing . michael : [ sighs ] look , maxie , this project is gon na be good for the city of port charles and the people living in it . maxie : maybe that 's what you believe you 're doing , but -- levi : it 's easy for you to say that , mate . once the rents are driven up , the people whose houses are n't being renovated wo n't be able to afford their homes anymore . michael : this is n't gon na affect the people who already own their homes , unless they want to sell it , and in that case , they stand to make a pretty substantial profit . maxie : well , then what about the renters ? levi : what about the renters ? michael : the city of port charles requires that a percentage of all new housing developments be offered to lower - income families and individuals . not only will those families and individuals be able to live here -- they could save money on transportation if they work and live on the waterfront . levi : oh , like those two ? you agreed to let them stay here for free , did n't you ? and what happens when your work finishes , huh ? where are you gon na live ? in some cardboard box out the front of some posh boutique ? kiki : i 'm his girlfriend . morgan : and i 'm his brother , so ... kiki : so probably not . levi : [ exhales deeply ] michael : yeah , look , levi , um [ sighs ] i respect your opinion , and i appreciate your concern for the less - fortunate residents of maxie 's and my hometown , but the way i see it , there 's nothing here for you to protest , and even if there was , you do n't have a permit to assemble . so i 'm gon na have to ask you to leave . levi : i do n't think you understand , mate . we 're not leaving until we 've changed your mind and this revitalization project is stopped . is n't that right , max ? maxie : right . levi : yeah . michael : maxie , i 'm sorry , but your boyfriend here is being completely unreasonable , and he 's trespassing . so if you do n't leave this house right now , i am gon na have to call the cops . carly : i need to know that my friendship with sonny is n't gon na come between us . franco : yeah , no problem . carly : at the same time , franco , i need to know that any secrets i share with you in confidence you 're not gon na use against me the next time you and i have some kind of fight . franco : of course not . i 'll never do anything like that again . i promise . carly : what you almost did tonight to my family and to my son ... franco : i almost lost the most important thing that 's ever happened to me . i ... [ inhales , exhales deeply ] you give me another chance , and let me prove to you that i 'm trustworthy , okay ? you 'll never have to give me another ultimatum . will you let me prove myself to you ? carly : okay . franco : okay . carly : [ sighs ] franco : you wo n't regret this . i swear . levi : i do n't know who you think you 're dealing with , mate , but i 've been arrested plenty of times ... kiki : and why does n't that surprise me ? levi : ... and all for worthy causes like this . maxie and i are not afraid of the police . morgan : yeah . what ? of course maxie 's not afraid of the police . her stepdad was the last police commissioner . emma 's grandma is the current one . but , i mean , what -- what do you think ? because you 're connected , the police are just gon na overlook the fact that you 're trespassing here with kangaroo ken ? maxie : i actually had n't thought that far . michael : maxie . it does n't have to be this way . okay , just can you please get him to leave ? levi : maxie is as committed to t cause as i am . morgan : dude , what cause are you talking about ? it 's a house remodel . levi : it 's a matter of social justice . morgan : yeah , to no one but you . maxie , come on . levi : you 're with me , are n't you , max ? maxie : yes . i am . i said i would be , and i am . levi and are staying . michael : [ sighs ] okay . fine . have it your way . hi . yes , i 'd like to report trespassers on my property . sonny : i 'm gon na love coming home from a long day at work , right ? putting my feet up and watching delia just mother you to death . delia : i made some decaf tea for you , ava . ava : thank you , mother . that was very thoughtful of you . sonny : tea looks amazing . delia : ooh , why do n't you join us , mr. corinthos ? sonny : could you please call me `` sonny `` ? delia : [ chuckles ] sonny : [ chuckles ] all right , well , you know what ? there 's nothing more that i would love in this whole world than some decaf tea , but i got someplace i got to go , if you know what i 'm saying . delia : oh , yeah . sonny : yeah . delia : coffee importing is a very , uh -- very 24-hour business . `` wink , wink . `` [ both chuckle ] sonny : and i 'm sure you guys got to do a lot of catching up , you know , and , you know , i 'm sure your mother 's gon na , you know , tell you a lot of stories , share things with you and everything . delia : oh , yeah . i got lots to say . i 'll see you around . sonny : and you know what , delia ? um ... i think i 'm really gon na enjoy having you stay here . ava : [ inhales sharply ] [ exhales sharply ] aah ! delia : ooh . ava : bastard ! delia : [ chuckles ] wow , i see that second - trimester happy hormones have n't quite kicked in yet . ava : no , do n't ... [ clears throat ] ... worry about us . we 're -- we 're always like this . delia : [ with mouth full ] really ? i thought maybe you were fighting about little old me . ava : [ sighs ] no . no , no , no . sonny has no problem at all with you staying here . uh , what 's going on between us has ... absolutely nothing to do with you . delia : what the heck are you so mad at each other for ? ava : he 's trying to kill me . nina : oh , you have a good point , travis . travis : [ chuckles ] nina : if my husband happens by , and you 're not expecting him for a visit , i could be ... screwed . travis : so , maybe we should just drop this charade . nina : [ chuckles ] rosalie will be here instead of me . rosalie : i will ? nina : yes , you will . i 'm sorry -- do you have other pressing engagements that are paying you a small fortune ? rosalie : well , what am i supposed to say to him if he shows up ? nina : well , i do n't know . between you and travis , you 'll think of some believable reason for my absence , right ? travis : [ sighs ] nina : so , what do you say ? do we have a deal ? travis : well ... i do have student loans . [ chuckles nervously ] nyu . nina : yeah . that 's the spirit . travis : [ chuckles ] nina : oh , this is great ! this 'll be so much fun . we 're on the same team . and my husband will be none the wiser . travis : i 'm getting the impression you do n't care much for dr. clay . nina : oh , travis . you have no idea . silas : why do n't you go ahead and let yourself into my office ? my shift ends in about half an hour . if you do n't mind waiting , we 'll go to dinner after that . rafe : sounds great . silas : okay . [ elevator dings , doors open ] silas : hey . sam : hey . silas : any luck on the investigation ? sam : uh , i would n't call it luck , but we have made some progress . patrick : yeah , we have , and it leads straight to you . [ next_on ] sonny : ( to shawn ) as soon as the baby 's born , she 's done . delia : ( to ava ) your baby 's father wants to kill you ? tracy : ( on the phone ) michael has absolutely no idea what 's coming . maxie and levi chanting in protest ( as michael glares at them ) : housing is for the little guy too . stop the greed of elq ! lulu : ( to olivia and dante ) can i carry our baby ? patrick : ( to silas ) you son of a -- sam : hey , no , no , no ! | carly assures sonny that franco wo n't tell anyone that he killed aj . franco goes to michael 's office to tell him . while kiki and morgan scrape old paint off the walls of morgan 's grandmother bobbie 's brownstone in the waterfront district , levi and maxie arrive , with levi proclaiming that they are going to shut down the revitalization project . morgan questions maxie 's choice of friends . levi refuses to listen to reason and leave . carly goes to michael 's office and finds franco there . michael tells her that franco was just about to tell him something about sonny . morgan calls michael and tells him that he needs him to go to the brownstone . carly blasts franco for what he was about to do . she tells him that if he tells michael that sonny shot aj , michael will find out that she covered for sonny and her relationship with her son will be over . she tells him that she ca n't be with him if he ca n't accept that sonny will always be a part of her life . realizing his mistake , franco asks for another chance . she agrees . michael goes to bobbie 's brownstone and talks to levi . levi still refuses to leave . michael calls the police to report trespassers on his property . |
tracy : there you go , daddy . home safe and sound . but it 's only temporary . nikolas may have stolen elq from the quartermaines , but he 's damn well not gon na keep it . [ scene_break ] jake : mmm ! hell of a headline , huh ? elizabeth : yeah . i 'm guessing the past couple days at work have been eventful . jake : yeah . you could say that . i was trying to help michael hold onto his family company . that clearly did n't go very well . elizabeth : and no one had any idea nikolas was trying to take over elq ? jake : not until it was too late . did you know ? [ scene_break ] tracy : clever puns aside , i hope elq gives you indigestion , you treacherous parasite . [ knocking ] ava : hello in the house . tracy : is the concept of a front door unclear ? i can not imagine what you want . but vegas is that way . ava : oh , i 'm not looking for the craps table , sweets . i 'm denise demuccio . i 'm looking for michael quartermaine . [ scene_break ] michael : aj ! sabrina : michael , what ? michael : oh . i thought i overslept and that aj was awake , waiting for me . i forgot she 's with sonny . today is my first day without my sister . [ scene_break ] sonny : so you probably had a rough night , even though you look absolutely beautiful , because you did n't remember your room or your house . right ? 'cause you were n't here long enough . but you know what ? that 's all gon na change . you know why ? because this is your home ... for good . okay ? [ knock on door ] sonny : whoa ! you made it . hey . say hi to your big brother . dante : please tell me you did n't take that baby from michael . sonny : he -- he ... he brought her back to me . dante : i hope you know how difficult that must have been for him . sonny : i do . dante : did he forgive you ? sonny : not yet . dante : but he chose to make peace for the good of the family . that 's good . sonny : yeah . dante : not everyone is that selfless . sonny : i guess you mean me . dante : actually , no , i was talking about lulu . [ scene_break ] dillon : good morning . lulu : what time is it ? dillon : it 's three hours earlier than it is back home . lulu : why are you up so early ? dillon : i never slept . lulu : i told you to let me sleep on the floor . dillon : yeah , but that would make me unchivalrous , not to mention a wuss . i 'd rather be sleepless with a crick in my back . at least i know i gallantly let the lady have the bed . lulu : hmm . i do n't even remember falling asleep . i tried so hard to stay awake in case my parents called with an update . dillon : unfortunately , no news . radio silence . lulu : so lucky is still out there . he 's still in trouble . [ scene_break ] luke : well ... this is different . [ waking up between laura & holly ] [ scene_break ] tracy : so you 're denise demuccio ? ava : yeah , yeah , in the flesh . and you are ? tracy : i 'm tracy quartermaine , michael 's aunt . ava : oh , his aunt . oh , you quartermaines , you do n't stray too far from the nest , do you ? all living together under one big , fancy roof . tracy : often to our regret . ava : oh . that 's family for ya , i suppose . although i would n't really know . i did n't grow up with too much family . but now , oh , i have a slew of relatives to meet . [ chuckles ] hey ... did you know my sister ? tracy : uh , yes , we crossed paths at the breakfast table every once in a while . she made the lamentable mistake of trying to sit in my seat at the table . ava : ava lived here ? tracy : briefly . it 's a long story . ask franco . now , if there 's nothing else ... ava : oh , no , but there is . you see , i still have to see michael . tracy : well , you 'll have to look someplace else , because he 's not here . i do n't think he slept here last night . [ scene_break ] sabrina : do you regret giving her back to sonny ? michael : no , it 's ... it was the right choice . sabrina : well , i 'm proud of you . that was a big step . michael : yeah , well , first of two . the other one was with you , here , last night . sabrina : how would you feel about taking that step one more time ? michael : next time , you do n't have to ask . [ scene_break ] sonny : all right . [ baby cries ] sonny : no ? look , look . [ baby cooing ] sonny : so , what , you and lulu get in a fight ? dante : no , she took off . sonny : well , sometimes , you know , that happens . you know , things get heated ... one of you needs a breather . carly and i , we fought all the time , and then she would stomp out . dante : yeah , well , this ... this is n't that . sonny : all i 'm saying is she 's gon na come back , right ? i mean , wherever she is , she 's gon na figure it out , come back , you guys are gon na make up . dante : not this time . she 's , uh ... she 's having an affair with dillon quartermaine . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , that 's it , i 'm calling my parents and asking them what 's what . dillon : your parents will get in touch with you as soon as they have something to tell you . in the meantime , i say we take advantage of this precious moment of quiet by availing ourselves to the room service i charged to lloyd and lucy johnson . lulu : oh , my dad is paying for this . he will be pleased . dillon : well , after what he did to my mother , i 'd like to see him try to complain . now , mangia . we 're gon na need energy if we have to drop everything on a moment 's notice to rescue lucky . lulu : i ca n't fault your reasoning . dillon : that 's because i 'm faultless . lulu : mm - hmm ! dillon : unlike the protagonist in the newest revised script . check it out . lulu : mmm ! dillon : revisions begin on page one . lulu : i see you put your sleepless night to good use . dillon : i totally faulted up the previously flaw - free dillon stand - in . i kept the hot body , though . lulu : [ chuckles ] good , otherwise everyone would think he was completely unbelievable . dillon : naturally . no , but really , thank you for your help last night . the script is better for it . lulu : well , i 'm glad to be of help . besides , it takes the edge off of lying to my husband for my parents . [ scene_break ] luke : did you get any sleep ? laura : no . luke : english ? holly : guess . luke : [ sighs ] me , neither . it 's the mattress . i 'm sure i was strapped to this very same torture device in some flop house in abuja . holly : of course , the mattress . laura : or could it be that you 're sleeping next to two of your exes ? holly : good call . luke : well , i 'm sick of staring at the ceiling , waiting for these clowns to call . i 'm sick of being led around by my nose . holly : oh , come on , luke , we 're all in the same boat . luke : well , we 've got to take some action . laura : what can we do ? we do n't know where these people are , who they are , or where they 're holding our sons . we do n't even have one lead . holly : that 's not necessarily true . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why would i know nikolas was after elq ? jake : i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to imply that you had prior knowledge of nikolas trying to steal the company . elizabeth : oh . well , then what did you mean ? jake : it 's just , you know , you two are close , so maybe he said something that you did n't quite pick up on at the time , but in retrospect , he was talking about the takeover . elizabeth : oh , no , no . no , it was as big a surprise to me as it was to everyone else . nikolas likes to play his business affairs pretty close to the vest . jake : yeah . and he has no problem betraying people 's trust . i imagine you know that he was married to a quartermaine . elizabeth : emily . she was my best friend . nikolas was pretty devastated when she died . jake : yeah , well ... [ clears throat ] now he 's screwing over her family . elizabeth : oh , it 's ... it 's just a difficult situation . jake : look , i ... i do n't want to put you in an awkward position , but i 'm warning you , friend or no friend , that bastard 's not gon na get away with this . [ nikolas clears throat ] jake : ah , nikolas , you 've got that `` whole sneaking up on people `` thing down to a science , do n't ya ? nikolas : am i interrupting anything ? jake : no , not at all . we 're just discussing your headline . elizabeth : that 's quite the picture there . nikolas : yeah , it 's ... a bit over - the - top for my taste . but if you go on to read the article , it suggests a clear bias in favor of elq . jake : oh , how so ? nikolas : well , it goes on to say that ... what are they calling me ? ah , yes ! `` bandit . `` jake : you 're not one of those , are you ? nikolas : i detect a hint of sarcasm . jake : no , not at all . see , bandits are legendary . jesse james , billy the kid . you 're not a bandit . you 're not legendary . you 're just a simple , common thief . nikolas : being on the wrong side of this takeover , it 's only natural for you to harbor ill will towards me , but please try and understand , it 's just business . jake : you used blackmail , extortion , and corporate espionage to gain those shares . that makes you a criminal . nikolas : you 're awfully loyal to a family that you 've only been working for , what , two , three weeks ? elizabeth : all right , you guys , enough . this is over and done with , okay ? jake : there 's no such thing to me as very loyal . you 're either loyal or you 're not . nikolas : well , i certainly appreciate your candor . jake : i 'm glad you do . elizabeth : as well as your efforts in relation to elq . you were just a half- step behind me . jake : you had a hell of a head start . elizabeth : my point exactly . you 're very good at your job . which is why i would like you to stay on board . [ scene_break ] ava : michael did n't sleep here ? well , where did he sleep ? tracy : i am not my nephew 's keeper . ava : well , what about my niece ? is she here ? tracy : gee , i just do n't think that that 's any of your concern . ava : that baby is michael 's responsibility . and if he and his snooty nanny are n't here , where the hell is my baby niece , huh ? ! tracy : well , allow me to expand on my earlier statement . i am not my nephew , sabrina 's , or the baby 's keeper . so arrivederci , signorina demuccio . ava : no , no , no , no , no , no ! you see , i called . i left a message for michael confirming that i was gon na visit that baby this morning . tracy : good for you ! i do n't know anything about it . ava : well , i did n't come all the way out here just to be turned away , because michael went out on some bender and is sleeping it off with some floozy somewhere . so i 'm just gon na pop on up and spend a little quality time with the munchkin , and ... do n't mind me , okay ? tracy : oh , yeah . i do mind you . [ scene_break ] sabrina : [ sighs ] should n't we get up at some point ? michael : well , my schedule 's pretty wide open at this point . i have no job , i have no baby sister to take care of , i have nowhere in particular to be . sabrina : well , there must be something we have to do . michael : is that your way of telling me to get lost ? sabrina : [ laughs ] no . as far as i 'm concerned , i got everything i need when i 'm with you . [ kiss ] michael : actually , now that i think about it , there is something i have to take care of . sabrina : anything i can help with ? michael : only if you want to . sabrina : of course . i would n't ask if i did n't . michael : well , my sister 's in a strange place with people she does n't really know . the least i can do is make sure she has her things . so would you ... do you want to help me box up her things and bring them over to sonny 's ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're telling me lulu 's sleeping with dillon quartermaine ? dante : i 'm telling you , sonny , that there 's something going on . sonny : i do n't buy it , because she 's head over heels for you . dante : yeah , well , not anymore . sonny : you know that as a fact 'cause you saw them ... doing something ? dante : she lied to me . she went to the quartermaine house where she met up with dillon . the guy 's waiting for her with a towel on . sonny : did you ask her about it ? dante : i did n't get a chance to . they took off . sonny : so she left you and rocco behind to go with that son of a bitch ? dante : yeah , she tells me she 's going to italy to visit her grandmother . i found out she 's up in canada , sharing a hotel room with the guy . sonny : wait , something 's missing here . were you two having problems ? dante : no , nothing we could n't figure out . sonny : then why would she do that ? dante : i do n't know ! i do n't know , but she did , and she is . and last night , i almost returned the favor . [ scene_break ] dillon : look , i know it sucks having to lie to dante . i feel the same way about keeping all of this from my mother . she 's heartbroken over what she thinks your dad did to her . lulu : i know , i feel terrible . dillon : i wish more than anything that i could just tell her we 're trying to keep your brother out of danger , but could you imagine what would happen if i came clean ? lulu : she would want to be involved -- just like dante . dillon : on a scale of one to 10 , 10 being disastrous , telling my mother the truth is a 7 . telling dante is a perfect 10 . he 's a cop . i mean , it 's at least conceivable that he 'd report this . lulu : i know , and the kidnappers would kill lucky . i know all of this , okay ? i keep reminding myself over and over , but guess what ? ! it does n't make me feel any less guilty about lying to my husband . and now i 'm unloading on you . [ chuckles ] you 're probably wishing that you were on a movie set , somewhere , anywhere on location in the sahara -- anywhere but here with me . dillon : wrong . i 'm glad we 're in this together . lulu : it 's just another spencer catastrophe . at least we 're consistent . dillon : look , before you know it , this will all be over and you can explain everything to dante . he 'll understand why you could n't talk to him about it . lulu : yeah , i hope you 're right . dillon : it 'll be okay , i promise . [ scene_break ] luke : have you been holding out on us ? laura : for god 's sake , holly , if you knew something about these kidnappers , why would you wait until now to tell us ? holly : i do n't have any information . i 've just come to a conclusion . the only common denominator in these kidnappings is luke . ethan and lucky are your sons . so whoever has taken them is obviously trying to exact some kind of satisfaction from luke . luke : so you 're saying this is my fault ? holly : no , of course not . luke : no , you are . clearly , i wronged some scum bucket along the way , and he 's decided to take it out on my sons . ethan and lucky are suffering because of me ! laura : luke , holly did n't say that . luke : she did n't need to . holly : luke , stop , i 'm not blaming you . luke : oh , no , it 's all right . i know the way i 've lived . i know i ca n't escape my past . all i can do is face it and try to protect the people i love from it . so if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na go make sure my daughter has not been taken away because of me , too ! holly : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] holly : well , i did n't think that would set him off . laura : he 's got a lot on his mind . holly : yeah , of course he does , but do n't we all ? you know , our sons in danger like this is no excuse for a tantrum . laura : for what it 's worth , i got the sense that ethan could handle himself quite well in any situation . holly : yeah , he told me about his adventure with you and luke . laura : yes , clearly , he inherited the best of both his parents . holly : that 's really kind of you to say that ... given that you might not be naturally predisposed to liking him . laura : i can see where you would think that ... given that luke sired him with you when he was still married to me . [ scene_break ] jake : you want to hire me ? nikolas : elq needs a head of security . why not keep the man that already has the job ? jake : because i 've been actively trying to stop you . nikolas : prior to my takeover of elq , we were perfectly friendly with each other . we both care very much about elizabeth . i took care of your hospital -- jake : oh , here we go ! that makes sense . so now i owe you a debt , right ? elizabeth : no . i do n't think that 's what he meant by it . nikolas : no , that 's -- jake : let 's find out what he meant . nikolas : that 's not what i 'm talking about . look , it 's been a rough couple of weeks for elq . jake : and whose fault is that ? nikolas : i 'm just trying to stabilize the company . jake : oh , what , wait , you want me to help you smooth the way ? is that what you want me to do ? nikolas : no . what 's good for me is good for the quartermaines . jake : oh , that 's a coincidence . nikolas : they may not be in charge anymore , jake , but they still have a vested interest in the success of the company . elq makes money , they make money . now , if you are as loyal as you seem to be , it behooves you to stay onboard . so what do you say ? [ scene_break ] ava : i want to see my niece . tracy : and i want romance , adventure , enough corporate power to crush my enemies . but like you , i will not be getting what i want today . beat it . ava : hey , look , tracy , is it ? tracy : oh , please . ava : i really do n't want to fight . tracy : oh , well , then if i were you , i would run like hell for the hills , 'cause after the last few days i 've had , i am itching for a fight . ava : what is your damage ? all i did was come here to see my sweet , little baby niece . tracy : yes , a niece who in her very short life has been kidnapped not once , but twice . and she 's not gon na get kidnapped a third time on my watch ! ava : oh , finally ! sabrina : is everything okay ? ava : no , no , it 's not , actually . but maybe it will be now that you 're here . michael : oh , what are you -- what are you doing here , denise ? ava : i think you know what i 'm doing here . i called you , and i left a message for you telling you that i was gon na come by and see the baby this morning , but you were too busy getting busy with the nanny here to check your messages , right ? well , now that you 've finally come up for air , would you please be so kind as to escort me upstairs so i can see avery ? michael : i 'm afraid that wo n't be possible , my ... [ clears throat ] my sister does n't live with me anymore . she lives with her father . ava : her -- her father ? ! michael : i gave her back to sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : payback 's a dangerous game , especially between husband and wife . dante : tell me about it . but i ... i kissed her cousin valerie last night . sonny : how far did it go , dante ? dante : it did n't . she stopped it . sonny : boy , she 's smart . because if she did n't put the brakes on , this whole situation would be a lot worse . dante : yep , and it almost was . sonny : what does that mean ? dante : well , i was gon na hop on a plane last night and confront lulu , and valerie convinced me that it was a bad idea . sonny : that 's good advice , but you got to have this out with lulu -- the sooner , the better .

[ scene_break ] holly : well , i suppose this conversation was inevitable , that my past with luke would ... rear its head . laura : were you hoping to avoid it ? holly : for the record , the only thing i can really think about right now is ethan getting out alive and in one piece . laura : and for the record , i want that for you and ethan just as much as i want it for lucky . holly : but since we 're here , why do n't you let me have it ? give it to me with both barrels . laura : yeah . yeah , you know , i 'm not really here to even any kind of score . [ sighs ] my marriage to luke was over a long , long time ago . and we both kept secrets from each other , and we both made mistakes . i really just want to put that chapter of my life to rest . holly : well , once upon a time ... in hong kong , i was running a scam , and completely out of the blue , i ran into luke ... in a casino . and we had n't set eyes on each other for years , but it was like not a day had passed . it all came rushing back . his charm and his volatility and ... well , you know . laura : mmm . holly : and i knew that it was n't a good idea to get involved with him , but i did n't care . we spent a weekend together with a tacit understanding that it would ... it would n't last a moment longer . we said goodbye , and that was that . until i found out i was pregnant . laura : with ethan . holly : and i was in no position at that time to raise a child , especially on my own . and to be honest , i did n't think that luke had it in him to be a father . little did i know then that he already was . laura : you never knew ? holly : that luke was married and had a son when he slept with me ? he did n't say . and i did n't ask . i ca n't regret what happened . but i do regret any pain that it may have caused you . for that -- for that , i apologize . laura : what 's past is past , huh ?

[ scene_break ] ava : you had custody of her . why would you give her up ? tracy : that 's a really good question . i 'm sure that monica and her boyfriend , the judge , are gon na want to know the answer to that . michael : the custody fight was tearing avery 's family apart . it had to be over , and now it is . and she 's living with sonny now . ava : sonny is a killer . he kills people . and people he loves , they get killed . you did n't have a problem sending her back to that world ? michael : sonny promised me that he would protect her . ava : and did he not make you the same assurance ? how did that turn out for you , michael ? michael : look , if you have a problem with it , you can feel free to take it up with him . i 'm not sure what you can possibly do about it , though . ava : you watch me . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do you mean , you 're going after lulu ? dante : i got a ticket for the next flight to vancouver . i was hoping you could watch rocco . i 'd ask bobbie , but i do n't want to involve lulu 's family . sonny : well , i 'd be happy to watch rocco on one condition . you got to let lulu speak for herself , 'cause you may find out this whole thing is wrong . dante : i want answers from my wife . sonny : yeah . dante : and the only way to get them is if i go where she is , and she 's up in canada , so that 's what i 'm doing . sonny : okay . dante : i 'll have the babysitter bring rocco by . sonny : no problem . dante : [ sighs ] thanks for doing this . sonny : well , you know , you 're my son , and this may not be much comfort to you , but ... i got your back .

[ scene_break ] kiki : i know what morgan went through at the clinic , and i know how hard he worked . he was ... actually an inspiration to me while i was at the hospital . but after i got out ... i had a really rough time . i had to deal with my own issues ... because of the shooting . did you talk to someone about this ? kiki : no . dillon got me through it . that 's how we became friends . carly : all right , kiki , i do n't mean to minimize what you went through . sonny and i feel terrible about what happened , and we 're so grateful that you 're okay . but morgan never meant for you to get hurt . kiki : no , i do n't blame morgan for what happened . but i almost died , and that really messed me up for a while . i was afraid to go outside . i was jumping at every loud sound . i was basically withdrawing from life without even realizing it , and dillon is the one who helped me see that . he became my friend , and he got me through it . and we got close . carly : how close ? kiki : it was ... on the verge of becoming something else . for dillon , i guess it did . that 's why he kissed me , because he wants more than friendship . carly : and you do n't know , do you ? [ scene_break ] dillon : i will make you a deal . i will keep my distance from kiki until she closes that distance , and when she does , you bow out . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . let me ask you something . why you always putting yourself in people 's relationships ? like , you did that with dante and lulu , and then theirs imploded . you did n't learn from that ? kiki and i are good together . let it go . dillon : good ? do you even know the meaning of that word ? how good was it when you were -- were dogging with her own mother or when kiki got shot , because she was trying to protect you ? i mean , do you have any idea how hard this recovery has been for her ? she could n't even leave her own apartment , because she was scared at every loud noise -- morgan : i know what i -- i know what i 've done . i do n't need you to -- i do n't need you to tell me , okay ? i 've owned my mistakes . i 've -- i 've taken the responsibility for them . i know i 'm -- i 'm bipolar . i 'm managing that , and i 'm gon na move forward . and kiki 's gon na move forward with me . that 's it . dillon : okay , that is really great , okay ? but if you were really taking responsibility for what you 've done to kiki , then you would be stepping aside rather than pressuring her to get back with you .

[ chuckles ] when he 's not acting like a total goofball , he 's all kinds of dark and dangerous . but you 'd think someone as smart as nina reeves would know to look but not touch . [ chuckles ] instead , it 's like watching a kid run with scissors . do you intervene and save her or let her fall and stab herself ? maybe a crash landing is the only way she 'll learn what 's safe and what 's dangerously stupid . [ chuckles ] [ beeping ] amy : that 's room 1077 again . i 'll go . [ scene_break ] hayden : your medication is illegal ? what are you using to treat yourself with , crack ? heroin ? finn : the drugs are n't approved by the fda . you ca n't -- ca n't get them in the states . hayden : there must be a reason they 're not allowed here . i mean , are you sure that it 's safe ? finn : well , i 'm still alive , are n't i ? hayden : what about serious side effects ? finn : nothing 's worse than death . hayden : there 's nothing you can use to treat yourself ? finn : well , there was a - a - a promising therapy once . hayden : great ! finn : a clinical trial . hayden : use your doctor connections and get in . finn : funding ran out . foundation collapsed . hayden : because of my father . finn : bingo . [ scene_break ] carly : do you have feelings for dillon ? kiki : we have fun together . and ... maybe it could have been something more , in time . but that did n't happen , because i 'm with morgan . and that 's how it is , and that 's how it 's gon na be . carly : okay . i 'm sorry for going after you . i am , and i even get that you might have reservations about being with morgan . i even get if you turn to another guy , but i will hold you accountable if you promise a future to morgan just to turn around and snatch it away . i mean , that kid has his whole future wrapped around you . he does , and i get that that might be way too much responsibility and you might want a different future , but if you do , you need to tell morgan that . okay ? you need to love him enough to stay or love him enough to walk away , but you have to be honest . and you need to make a choice you can live with . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dillon : kiki may be good for you , but you for damn sure are not good for kiki , not by anyone 's definition . morgan : okay . i 'm gon na warn you , dillon , stay away from her , all right ? dillon : hey , morgan ... if you 're so cemented with kiki , then what does it matter ? morgan : it 's like i said , we 're concentrating on our relationship . dillon : no , you think that i 'm going to distract her , but that 's not the truth , is it ? the truth is ... you 're worried she 's gon na choose me . [ scene_break ] julian : alexis . everything okay in there ? [ scene_break ] anna : are you worried that julian 's gon na hurt alexis ? sonny : you gon na tell me the thought never crossed your mind ? anna : no , of course it did . you 're talking about a guy who used his own grandson as a human shield . anybody julian claims to love -- his wife and children -- he -- he will sacrifice them as soon as he 's threatened . anna : like pawns in a chess game . sonny : i do n't really play a lot of chess . anna : pity . i imagine you 'd be pretty good at it . i mean , you know , it 's all strategy . just got to think three steps ahead . sonny : well , that 's the thing that concerns me about this plan . julian 's so- called love for alexis or any investment he may have in their child is meaningless 'cause all he cares about ... ... is to save his own ass . [ scene_break ] julian : hey , ava , call me when you get this message . i 've got a developing situation . i may need your assistance . so ? did you take the test ? are you pregnant ? let me see . alexis , gon na give me the test or not ? two lines . wh- what do two lines mean ? [ sighs ] you 're pregnant . alexis : satisfied ? julian : we 're gon na have another baby . alexis : i 'm gon na have another baby . julian : come on . we made this baby together . alexis : we 're not together now . did you really think this pregnancy was gon na fix things ? after everything you 've done to me ? i should be worried about what prenatal vitamins to take , not worried about what i 'm gon na do with my baby when i rot in prison for a murder you committed . julian : you 're not going to prison . i 'm not gon na let that happen . alexis : there is only one way to stop this . confess , julian . [ scene_break ] sonny : this is taking too long . anna : oh , just let it play out , sonny . sonny : well , i 'm the one that 's got to -- you know , if -- if alexis is dead , i got to tell her daughters . i got to tell her that we told alexis to take this risk , so she can get a confession out of this nutjob . it 's on my watch . anna : no , it 's on mine .

[ scene_break ] franco : nina , i think you 're blowing this out of proportion . you 're seeing things -- nina : do n't do that . do n't do that to me , please . do n't reject me and then make me think that i 'm crazy and i 'm exaggerating things , please . do n't do that . [ sighs ] you have feelings for elizabeth ? oh , wow . that 's written all over your face . franco : [ sighs ] nina , you and i just broke up , right ? i do n't think i 'm someone that would move on that quickly . nina : but this did n't happen all of a sudden , though , did it ? i did n't see this coming . i - i -- maybe i just did n't want to see it . but you flew out of state to deliver a bike to her son jake . i mean , you insisted on taking her to the nutcracker gala . i mean , after all , poor elizabeth had been publicly dumped , and you felt bad , and i understood . i - i just -- i should n't have bought the good - deed routine that ... elizabeth was a mess . franco : i was just trying to help her out . nina : help elizabeth or help her son ? which one ? franco : [ scoffs ] nina : i mean , it 's the part that blows my mind is that we broke up because i want a baby and you do n't . [ voice breaking ] but it 's just -- it 's my baby you do n't want , right ? franco : nina , that 's not -- nina : you do n't want a baby via surrogate or adoption or whatever we could do because ... you just do n't want a baby with me . you do n't want to co - parent with me . you -- you want to be a father to elizabeth 's son jake . right ? franco : he -- he already has a father . nina : who you despise . oh , god . i ... i completely get this . it 's all tangled up in that head of yours . you despise jason . so it makes it all that sweeter to get close to his son jake , but that 's not enough for you . you have to take his mother , too . and the really sad thing about this is there 's a very special bond between you and that little boy . i saw it at the nurses ' ball when you were up onstage . and that 's you . that is the most beautiful part of you , the nurturing , loving , caring part that would be an amazing father ! but not with me , right ? just not with me . 'cause elizabeth -- she 's a bigger prize , right ? [ sighs ] hey . i get it . knock yourself out . i 'm not gon na stand in your way . [ scene_break ] hayden : you were working on a treatment . finn : cure . hayden : a cure . and you lost the research money , because it was invested with my father , and now you and everyone who has this disease has to pay the price . finn : well , i had it better than most . hayden : hey . do you have a dealer ? finn : [ chuckles ] well , i like to think of him as my pharmaceutical friend . [ sniffles ] he 's overseas . he ships things to me . i have a package waiting for me at gh . hayden : addressed to you ? finn : [ breathing heavily ] d - d - do not -- do not get involved . hayden : too late . i 'll get you what you need . guard . [ bars rattling ] hayden : guard ! [ scene_break ] [ elevator bell dings ] franco : you 're wrong . you 're wrong , nina . if you and i do n't work , it 's got nothing to do with elizabeth or anybody else . you and i just do n't work , okay ? you and i , nina , we do n't connect the way we used to connect . nina : you know what ? you 're absolutely right . we do n't connect , franco . we do n't even speak the same language anymore . let me tell you something about me . i may have my demons , and i may have my flaws , but i 'm thinking clearly , and i have outgrown you . [ chuckles ] amy : still at it ? ugh , i hope they settled their ish without coming to blows . i 've had my fill of police for today . [ chuckles ] unless i could get that detective falconeri to come this time . [ gasps ] or detective west . oh , he could interrogate me all night long . [ chuckles ] elizabeth : wait . wait , wait , wait . the police were here today ? amy : yeah , earlier . elizabeth : why ? amy : you did n't know ? elizabeth : well , obviously not . what happened ? amy : dr. finn got arrested -- trespassing , assault , and a bunch of other charges . he 's in serious trouble . [ scene_break ] finn : [ groans ] [ groans ] [ whimpers ] [ scene_break ] franco : you 've outgrown me . nina : yes , i 've outgrown you . ha ! not in a leave - you - in - your - dust kind of way or -- or an artist 's final stroke kind of way , but ... i 'm fixed . i 'm done . you helped me , and so i can navigate my life on my own , ca n't i ? except you need to feel like the hero , and that 's where elizabeth and jake come in . jake is all kinds of messed up , and elizabeth is nothing if not needy . i mean , they 're perfect for you , are n't they ? [ scene_break ] amy : obrecht is insisting that dr. finn is the one who attacked dr. jones and killed all those patients . i 'll never believe it . dr. finn respects nurses . he 's not just pretending to be nice . he actually is nice . plus , he 's way too handsome to be a killer . [ chuckles ] hayden : why is she always around ? [ scene_break ] julian : jurors are -- are sympathetic to pregnant women . this could totally work to your advantage . alexis : oh , now you 're helping with my defense strategy ? julian : [ sighs ] alexis : i do n't need your help . julian : come on , alexis , your -- your trial is weeks away . i mean , diane has plenty of time to poke holes in their case , and , of course , i will assist in any way i can . alexis : any way but confessing . you 're a real peach , julian . i 'm gon na be sick . [ sighs ] and it 's not because i 'm pregnant , it 's because of you . julian : alexis ... our baby ... our baby was conceived in love . your being pregnant is a sign . alexis : [ chuckles ] of what ? julian : we 're still connected . we always will be . get some rest . [ closes door ] alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : you 're spending a lot of time with anna . should i be jealous ? sonny : [ chuckles ] no , no . uh , you should be relieved because one way or another , this thing with julian is gon na end . carly : do you need my help ? sonny : i 'll let you know . carly : okay . sonny : what 's got you worried ? carly : maybe i 'm worried about you . sonny : no , 'cause you got that face , like kids are in trouble or ... carly : [ chuckles ] you 're good . sonny : well , what 's wrong ? carly : i 'm worried about morgan . [ scene_break ] kiki : time to be clear . morgan and i are trying to get back on track , and the more we can focus on us ... the better the chances of us making things work . um ... so i 'm really sorry , dillon , but ... i just do n't have the time for you anymore .

[ scene_break ] sonny : what 's going on with morgan ? carly : promise me you 'll stay calm . sonny : yes . carly : i ran into kiki in the park kissing dillon quartermaine . sonny : what ? carly : she swears it was a goodbye kiss and -- and that she 's committed to morgan . sonny : and you believe her ? carly : i believe that kiki has the best intentions . i believe that she believes that she 's committed to morgan , but whether she can follow through with it , i do n't know . i do n't know , sonny , and it scares me , because he 's so fragile , and he 's so invested in her , and god , i hate that . sonny : listen to me , okay ? it scares me , but this is morgan 's life , morgan 's illness . he 's gon na have to figure out a way to manage it ... with or without kiki . [ scene_break ] dillon : kiki , is that really what you want ? kiki : it 's the way it is . morgan : we had a deal though , right ? we were gon na hear what she wanted , and then we were gon na honor that ? dillon : i wish you both the best . morgan : i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to speak for you . i just thought i would save you some hassle , and , um , you know , it got ugly . kiki : it 's okay . it needed to be dealt with . it 's over . morgan : i hope so . kiki : what do you mean ? morgan : no , you just , you know , he said some stuff , got in my head a little bit . stuff about me not being good for you , and part of me wonders if that 's ... that 's true . i do n't want to be bad for you , kiki . i just want to make you happy . kiki : well , stop wondering . i 'm with you , because i want to be . okay , captain ? morgan : [ chuckles ] that makes me feel like the luckiest guy in the world . really doing this , huh ? kiki : i 'm still here , are n't i ?

[ scene_break ] ric : what was i supposed to do carly , make love to elizabeth on the couch while you watched on the monitor ? carly : oh , come on , ric . you do n't want elizabeth to get pregnant because then how do you explain bringing her my child when you 've got one of your own on the way ? ric : see , elizabeth 's not ready for another pregnancy . carly : oh , and then there 's all those messy feelings that a father - to - be gets -- you know , seeing the woman he loves pregnant with his own child , the joy , the anticipation of imagining the happy family , the life together . you know , you could have all those feelings , the feelings that sonny has for this child , but you just wo n't let yourself . no , you 're not allowed . you wo n't let yourself be happy because it 's more important to you to torture sonny . ric : you know , you have absolutely no idea how i feel . carly : this whole scheme is based on this delusion that sonny cost you your first child . if elizabeth gets pregnant , you lose your excuse , do n't you ? then you have to face the fact that hating sonny is a lot more important than this future with your wife because you want sonny 's baby more than you want your own . [ scene_break ] courtney : sonny would never give up on carly . faith : all i know is that he wants me here with him . courtney : you 're lying . faith : ask him yourself . courtney : sonny , there has to be some reason you 're here with faith . sonny : ok , listen to me . i made -- i made an arrangement with the feds that if i help them , they help me find carly . courtney : how does that have anything to do with faith ? sonny : well , it has -- because -- i have to be seen in public with her . courtney : sonny , no one 's going to buy that you 're actually -- sonny : shh , shh . hit me . hit me real quick . just hit me , will you ? right now . just hit me . do it . courtney : you selfish bastard !

[ ned sighs ] ned : brooke lynn was supposed to come up and see me this summer . needless to say , i was excited . she was excited to finally meet kristina . and her mother called me and told me that there 's been a change of plans . skye : oh . ned , i 'm so sorry . ned : lois is managing a singer who 's really huge in europe , and he 's touring this summer , and she wants to take brooke lynn with her . she thinks that she would enjoy it , so -- skye : well , at least you still have kristina . ned : you know , i 'm not using kristina as compensation for what i 've lost with brooke . at least i do n't think i am . i 'm trying to provide her with what i think she needs -- a full - time father who 's committed to her , who would never put her in danger . skye : oh , i know what you mean . i feel so protective of kristina . i would fight to the death to keep that little girl from feeling lonely or afraid . ned : she 's lucky to have you . skye : she 's lucky to have you . you are a wonderful father , so warm and loving . ugh -- nothing like i would have thought when i first met you . ned : i 'm afraid to ask . skye : i thought you were a player , you know ? smart and slick . not a trace of heart or soul . all in all , a perfect match for alexis . ned : well , i have to confess , i like myself better when i 'm with you . skye : yeah . i know what you mean . um -- i -- i have an idea . why do n't we skip dinner and head straight to dessert . what do you say ? ned : you read my mind . let 's go home .

[ scene_break ] lydia : if nikolas and i get married , his family 's future is secured . emily : how does that work ? lydia : according to the terms of my grandfather 's will , if nikolas and i marry and stay married , my grandfather 's fortune will be divided between us . we would have billions of dollars at our disposal -- provided we have a child within the first five years , but i do n't foresee that as being a problem . the only obstacle is you . if nikolas marries me , his family 's fortune will be secure . emily : uh - huh . if you were really that worried about nikolas , you would just lend him the money . lydia : i do n't have it to lend . if we do n't get married , virtually all the money goes to charitable causes . emily : that might be the best use for it . lydia : emily , this is serious . emily : uh - huh . for you , maybe . but i do n't think nikolas would ever marry for money , no matter how badly the cassadines need it . lydia : this is n't some schoolgirl game . we 're talking about billions of dollars . emily : which nikolas is completely aware of . lydia : you know , it would be bad manners to break an engagement . nikolas would sooner bankrupt his own family than break a promise to you . emily : if that 's nikolas ' decision , i 'll support it . lydia : and then you 'll be the one he threw it all away for . how do you think nikolas will feel about you when he 's selling off assets and consolidating debts ? emily : nice try , lydia , but i do n't buy it for a second . nikolas : ready ? emily : yeah . let 's go . [ scene_break ] carly : you do n't want my baby to fill some hole in elizabeth 's heart . you want the sick satisfaction of raising sonny 's child , of lying to his face and telling him that his child is your own . ric : sonny does n't deserve to be a father . carly : oh , god , it 's the same thing to you , ric . you just want what belongs to sonny . ric : well , sonny owes me after everything he took from me , do n't you think ? carly : what , your miserable life with your rich father ? ric : yeah , who looked at me as a constant reminder of what he had lost when my mother walked out the door with her precious little sonny . carly : oh , poor , little -- ric : he stole the life that i could 've had ! carly : oh , so it justifies kidnapping me , stealing another man 's child ? this is sick . ric , you know , you are so twisted now , you ca n't even see what you 're after anymore . ric : i know what i 'm doing . carly : no , you do n't . you just want to be sonny , and you know you ca n't be , so you 've decided to settle for stealing what belongs to him . ric : no , i look at it as saving my niece or nephew from the misery of growing up with sonny .

robin : you ca n't be serious . you 're actually going to testify against your own daughter ? anna : no -- it 's not personal , robin . robin : well , it sure feels that way . anna : sorry . i love you . i love you more than anything and i am beyond thrilled that you 're going to be a mother , and , you know , i 'm going to be the mother of somebody about to be a mother and that whole thing . robin : then why are you siding with him ? anna : simply put , you could n't be more wrong about him . [ scene_break ] jason : carly is not pregnant . sonny : she tell you that ? jason : she did n't have to tell me anything , sonny . i saw the test . there is no baby . sonny : okay , but according to carly , you -- you could 've been having her baby . i just -- i just want to hear the truth from you . are you sleeping together ?

[ scene_break ] claudia : do n't . do n't do it , john . johnny : the bastard threatened to kill you . i 'm not going to give him a chance to do it . jerry : pull that trigger and the whole world will know that your sister was responsible for little michael corinthos ' shooting . [ scene_break ] anna : i mean , you know , it 's natural for you to have freaked out at the thought of an entire family living under one roof because your father and i , we were not good examples of that , obviously . robin : first of all , me and the baby moving in with patrick is absurd . patrick : and cramming a baby into a closet is n't ? anna : he has a point . a closet is no place for a child . robin : it is n't a closet . it 's a dressing area that 's about to become a nursery . diane : well , call it whatever you will , no woman should be forced to store her couture in boxes by the bed . anna : you know , i mean , patrick has all the room in the world . robin : okay , look , i know that you mean well and somehow you 've managed to convince yourself that siding with him is actually good for me , but i can assure it is n't . i mean , this whole situation is completely ridiculous . patrick : i could n't agree more . diane : patrick , statements like that do nothing to enhance your position in a court of law . elizabeth : okay , i 'm sorry to interrupt , but why involve the courts at all ? the last thing either of you want is a long , drawn out custody battle . take it from somebody who 's been there . it 's not going to do anybody any good , least of all that baby . diane : if patrick wishes to withdraw petition , all he has to do is ask . robin : in the interest of our child , will you let this go ? patrick : what kind of father would i be if i did n't fight to be a part of my child 's life ? diane : and that settles it . i will notify you when the hearing is calendared . when you retain legal counsel , please have them contact me . [ scene_break ] jax : you were so adamant about not wanting to take a pregnancy test . what made you change your mind ? carly : because you were right , you know ? if -- if i really were pregnant , i owed it to the baby to start taking care of myself and -- it was just the timing of it all . i was n't able to focus on what a miracle it would 've been , and i 'm really sorry . jax : no , i 'm the one who should apologize . i -- i told everyone before we even knew for sure , so i 'm sorry . carly : you were excited , you know ? you had every right to be . i know how badly you want a baby . jax : yeah , but not at the expense of our marriage . i did n't mean to pressure you into something that you 're really not ready for . carly : you know , with the negative test , it made me realize how badly i want to have a baby with you . i just need a little bit of time , that 's all . [ scene_break ] jason : i have n't slept with carly since the summer i met her . sonny : why do you keep letting her pull this crap ? i mean , it 's been what , 12 years since she passed off michael as yours ? now she 's pulling the same thing ? except this time she 's not lying to a.j . , she 's lying to me . jason : carly was afraid that you would want to be in the kid 's life . she ca n't take that chance after what happened to michael . sonny : come on , you 're not -- you ca n't be defending her . jason : carly panicked . that 's what she does . she panics . sonny : okay , what if carly was pregnant ? would you have gone on with -- with the lie , claiming my kid is yours ? jason : it -- it does n't matter . there is no kid . sonny : i got out of the organization to actually do the right thing -- keep my kids safe , t away from the violence . carly has punished me since michael got shot . and now you probably already know this , on the way from the institute , we had sex . right after we had sex , she handed me a piece of paper to sign away my kids . jason : sonny , just -- why do n't you just quit worrying about carly and just focus on your marriage to kate ? [ scene_break ] kate : so i 've already asked jen to set aside eight pages in the fall issue for exclusive coverage of the ceremony and all the events leading up to it . i want everything featured , from the place settings to the gown i 'm wearing . lulu : oh , speaking of -- i -- i left a message for maha . she 's in saint tropez . she wo n't be able to do fabric selection until next week . kate : all right , fine . have her send over some sketches in the meantime . federico is already working on designs for the reception gown . maxie : i 'd be happy to pick up sketches from federico when he 's finished with them . kate : okay , maxie . we can work out the logistics later . in the meantime , your function is of liaison . it is imperative that you get maha 's people speaking with federico 's . now , i want the gowns to compliment each other , but i also want the individual style of the designer represented . maxie : of course . i 'll call him right now . kate : okay . maxie : federico , hey , it 's maxie . i was just calling to see how those sketches were coming along . no pressure , just my own curiosity . lulu : so , um , sonny 's a pretty private guy , at least as long as i 've known him . how does he feel about his relationship being plastered all over the pages of a magazine ? kate : sonny is not used to , nor will he ever be , comfortable with the level of scrutiny associated with my position . there is a real chance that he may ask me to pull the article all together . in which case , i 'm going to need some backups in place . lulu : well , we could move up the piece on warning signs for breast cancer to coincide with national awareness month . kate : that 's a good start , lulu , but it wo n't fill eight pages . why do n't you compile a list of some other ideas that will tie in with the cancer piece ? i want to be prepared at a moment 's notice to drop it in case sonny gets cold feet . [ scene_break ] johnny : that 's one hell of a bluff . jerry : i assure you , i always have a contingency plan and this is no exception . i 'll let your sister acquaint you with the details . claudia : ian was working with jerry . as a matter of fact , ian wanted jerry to shoot sonny in the warehouse . jerry : i 'm afraid i have to agree . i would never have pulled the trigger if i knew there was a child in the line of fire . johnny : so if you did n't trust ian to take care of the job , why did n't you take sonny out yourself ? jerry : i did n't want the hit to be traced back to me , so ian did the job himself and the rest is , as we know , painful history . fortunately for all of us , ian is dead . and as far as the law and jason morgan are concerned , the good doctor was acting out alone . but if you kill me , all that will change . johnny : what 's he got on you ? claudia : there 's an affidavit on file that states i was the one who hired ian . jerry : and if the information comes to light , i have no doubt that jason morgan will kill you both . which brings us to our current dilemma , i mean , if it was me , i would only have one solution -- drop the gun . keeping me alive keeps you alive . [ scene_break ] jax : i have n't been fair to you . carly : jax . jax : no , i was n't there the first few hours after michael was shot . jason was the one you turned to for support . instead of accepting that , i -- i resented that , in a way . carly : i was n't trying to shut you out . jax : well , however it happened , i just felt like i let you down . i wanted to help you in a way that no one else could . that 's why i was pushing for the possibility of you being pregnant . a new life is the greatest gift i could think of . carly : i know that i have been distant lately and you 're allowed to be angry and -- and frustrated , but you have to know that through it all , i never stopped loving you or needing you or needing you . and what scares me the most is that i am going to be so hurt that i do something that pushes you away . jax : carly , i can handle anything you throw at me . [ scene_break ] sonny : why do you think i 'm wrong , after everything that 's gone down , to want to marry kate ? jason : sonny , what you and kate do is your -- it 's your business . sonny : but why do n't you agree is what i 'm asking ? jason : it 's not up to me . it 's not up to me . sonny : well , that -- it 's not up -- that 's your stock answer . it 's all -- you know , i can read you . so you -- you think that i am wrong to want to be happy when michael 's in -- in coma . jason : no , no , i think that -- that what happened to michael is too big for any of us to live through all at once . it -- it 's kind of like being in a car wreck when at first you 're in shock . you do n't feel the pain . you do n't even know if you 're bleeding until the adrenaline wears off , and then you have to deal with what just happened . sonny : mm - hmm . jason : that 's what -- that 's what we 're all trying to do right now , is just deal with what happened . your answer 's to quit and get married to kate . now , you know what ? i 'm not saying -- i 'm not saying that 's wrong . i 'm just saying that you need to be honest with yourself about why you 're doing this . this is about michael and it always will be . [ scene_break ] maxie : when you say sonny could get cold feet , do you mean about having his private life made public or getting married in general ? kate : if sonny was n't committed to spending his life with me , he hardly would have proposed a second time . maxie : a second time ? kate : yes , maxie . the first time i was the one with cold feet . lulu : what changed ? i mean , not that it 's our business , but it 's just , you know , kind of weird that you would run screaming from sonny one minute and now agree to marry him the next . kate : well , lulu , it hardly happened that fast , nor in such dramatic fashion . maxie : well , if you do n't want to talk about it -- kate : no , no , actually , i would rather have you hear the truth from me than concoct some story on your own . the truth is at the time , my only reservation was sonny 's line of work . had he not been a known racketeer , i would 've married him on the spot . lulu : oh , so now that sonny 's not in the business , you do n't have an excuse ? kate : no , no , no , i do n't , but sonny does . he 's still grieving michael , and he may not be capable of facing all the trappings of a big wedding . and if that turns out to be the case , then i 'll deal with it . and in the meantime , we have a lot of planning to do , so go , get busy . ric : hi . do you have a minute ? kate : uh , sure , ric . hold all my calls . so are you here in some sort of official capacity ? i 'm sure that trevor is n't too happy that anthony asked you on as co - counsel . ric : no , i 'm not here to talk about trevor and his shortcomings as a father . i 'm here out of concern for my brother . kate , there 's a great deal of tension going on between jason and the zaccharas right now . i need you to keep sonny from getting drawn in . kate : ric , i love your brother and i would do just about anything to keep him happy , but i have learned my lesson . i will not manipulate him , even if it 's for a worthy cause . look , that was the way that other women dealt with sonny and i personally believe that he deserves better , which is why i 'm going to stay out of this , ric . if you need to talk to sonny , you need to do it on your own . [ scene_break ] jerry : what 's more important , killing me or keeping claudia safe ? i thought so . now , put the gun down . claudia : do it , john . look , i want him dead just as much as you do . unfortunately , that 's not an option right now . if we leave jerry alone , he 'll do the same . jerry : you seem to be forgetting that your father threatened an innocent little child . if any harm comes to her or her mother , i will go to jason morgan and tell him all i know about that night little michael was shot . claudia : what do you want ? jerry : get your father under control , or i will . [ gun shot ] claudia : john , what are you doing ? johnny : calling his bluff . [ scene_break ] robin : hi , thanks for coming . alexis : well , it 's not often i get offers to do outside work . robin : well , i 'm hoping that you can still take on a private client . alexis : it depends on the case and the client . but since the client is you , you know that i would do anything that i can for you . robin : patrick is petitioning for visitation rights with the baby . alexis : it 's standard practice to want to work up a custody arrangement when the parents are living in different houses . robin : when the baby is still in my womb ? please , tell me that this is just a scare tactic on diane 's part and patrick can not actually win this case . alexis : all right , you should know that diane is very good . she 's a very thorough attorney and i do n't think she would file a motion if she did n't think the judge would grant a hearing . robin : am i the only one that thinks that this is crazy ? i mean , does n't this violate my right to privacy ? alexis : technically , no , because diane can argue that you 've already had this amount of time to bond with the baby and patrick is afforded the same amount of time . robin : well , that 's ridiculous . because no matter how much patrick wants to rub my belly or talk to the baby , he 'll never be connected to it the way that i am . and the truth is , he 's only doing this because he wants me to move in with him . alexis : i 'm going to say something to you from one single mother to another . it would be far less complicated if you had a relationship , a decent relationship with the baby 's father . unless , of course , he poses an emotional or physical threat . robin : of course not . patrick would never hurt the baby . alexis : robin , you would be far better served to make room for patrick in your life . otherwise , you would have a lot more to lose than just a few hours a week with your baby . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know you 're trying to convince robin that you want to be a good father , but taking her to court ? it 's only going to make her dig her heels in even deeper . patrick : what choice do i have ? i 've told robin every way that i can that i want to be a part of our child 's life and she does n't seem to hear it . elizabeth : i think you 're just going to have to give her time . patrick : elizabeth , my back is against the wall . in a few months , she 's going to give birth . now , if i want to be a part of our kid 's childhood , then family court is the only option . elizabeth : spinelli , what are you doing out here all alone ? spinelli : oh , um , the jackal has just undergone a battery of , well , no doubt beneficial , if somewhat disconcerting , tests to measure his optimum health and wellness . and while being returned to the confines of my regrettably plain room , the pleasant pusher was called away . so rather than incurring the wrath of the administrative staff by violating hospital policy and wheeling myself back on my own , the jackal has decided to remain patiently here and wait for the return of the orderly one . elizabeth : i 'll take you to your room . spinelli : that would be lovely and give the jackal a chance to explain the true meaning of our previous conversation . see , well , the jackal is most certain that vixenella clearly harbors feelings for stone cold -- elizabeth : spinelli , if say one more word about jason and claudia zacchara , i 'll sedate you . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know me , jason . do n't you think -- do n't you think i feel that michael should be the one with a future ? fall in love , get married ? but it 's not -- it 's not going to happen because of this business , because of me . but do n't think for one second that -- that i walked away clean . not even close . i -- i lost both sons in the process . jason : it 's the only way carly knew how to protect morgan . sonny : you can -- you can tell -- you can tell me that all you want , that when she handed me those papers it was because she was doing something that she thought was right . it was n't . it was about revenge . carly wanted to punish me . but what i do n't understand is how you -- you stood by and let her take away my kids . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , the reason i brought up sonny possibly being the father of this baby is because he told me that i should get a paternity test . carly : well , who cares what sonny says ? he 's out of our lives for good . jax : he may have signed away the rights to his boys , but he 'll always play on your shared history . carly : i do n't care . i 'm in love with you . you 're the only person i want to spend the rest of my life with . jax : come here . [ scene_break ] claudia : john , do n't . put the gun down . johnny : i do n't want our lives in jerry 's hands . jerry : then you should probably aim that thing somewhere else . it would be a tragedy if you shot your dear sister by accident . claudia : john , think about it . the only leverage that jerry has is that i was involved in michael 's shooting . now , if you were in his position , would you leave your only life insurance to chance ? no . you would have a sworn affidavit . let him leave . johnny , if you shoot him , you are killing both of us . johnny : fine . you get to keep breathing for now . [ scene_break ] robin : so you 're saying you wo n't represent me ? alexis : no , that 's not what i 'm saying at all . listen , i 'm a champion for mothers ' rights , and i 'll be happy to put on my lawyer hat for you if that 's what you 'd like . i ca n't guarantee that you 're going to win . it will , however , be a very interesting case . because as absurd as this sounds , patrick actually has a very compelling argument . robin : hi . anna : hi . robin : uh , this is my lawyer . alexis , this is my mother . anna : how are you ? alexis : nice to meet you . anna : yeah , nice to meet you . so you got a lawyer ? robin : yeah . and if you do decide to take this case , you should know that my mother is willing to testify on patrick 's behalf . alexis : you are aware that if you -- if you are n't subpoenaed , you do n't have to testify . anna : yeah , i know that . patrick 's a good man . he really loves my daughter . robin : dragging me into court is a funny way of showing it . anna : yeah , you would n't be fighting so hard if you had n't had such a mixed up childhood . robert and i , we were n't the best parents . robin : this is n't about you and dad . this is about patrick being completely irrational . anna : he 's asked you to move in with him , not commit murder . robin : well , excuse me if i want some semblance of stability for my child . alexis : this , since i 'm sure one day you 're going to want your child to listen you , you might extend the same courtesy to your mother -- i 'm just saying . if you want me to represent you , i will . i 'll do that . robin : thank you . alexis : just let me know if you want to move forward with it . robin : i will . alexis : nice meeting you . anna : yeah , bye - bye . anna : i have no business telling you what to do with your child . i just would hate for you to make the same mistakes i did . robin : mom , i know what i 'm doing and i would really like your support . [ scene_break ] maxie : hey , clarice , it 's maxie . do you still have the number for that florist you used for the hampton party ? kate really liked his work and i think she wants to use him for the reception . lulu : kate howard 's office . no , ad sales is extension 4718 . i will transfer you . maxie : what , no calls from johnny ? it 's been 24 hours since he 's been out of jail , and he has n't checked in yet ? lulu : oh , well , i notice he has n't called you either , which would mean he 's not interested in you . maxie : are you sure about that ? oh , clarice , thank you so much . you 're a lifesaver . jax : is she on a call ? lulu : oh , no , go in . maxie : oh -- jax : hey , do you have time to go over these figures now ? kate : yes , jax , and let me just say that i 'm glad whatever disagreement you and sonny are having at the moment wo n't interfere with our working together . jax : sonny has nothing to do with `` crimson . `` i 'd like to keep it that way . kate : fair enough . okay , the projected budget of the next three issues of `` crimson . `` i know , i know , jax , they 're a little high , but in order to stay competitive , there 's -- jax : oh , it 's not the budget . it 's carly . she 's not pregnant after all . [ scene_break ] sonny : whatever your boss needs , you can go ahead and , uh , take it up with jason . ric : i 'm , uh , not here as anthony 's attorney . as a matter of fact , my very presence would be construed as conflict of interest , which is why i asked kate to be an intermediary , but she has absolutely no intention of getting in the middle of this . sonny : middle of what ? ric : all right , look . johnny zacchara was arrested last night for assaulting logan hayes , and anthony stepped in and pressured alexis to get his son released . sonny : pressured how ? ric : by implying that something could happen to kristina while she was away at camp . sonny : ah , that , you know -- so anthony threatens my daughter 's life and this is the first time i 'm hearing about it ? ric : sonny , come on , you know that he 's a smart man . he 's not going to risk a full - scale mob war over some simple assault . sonny : would you be defending this son of a bitch if he threatened molly ? ric : i 'm not defending him , okay ? i 'm just trying to get a little perspective here . sonny : okay , you know what ? what am i supposed to do , just sit back and wait for anthony to go after my daughter ? ric : anthony was exploiting alexis ' biggest weakness in order to get his own son released . i can assure you no harm is going to come to kristina . sonny : so , okay , then why bother asking kate to intervene ? ric : well , i do n't know , sonny . you 've finally done the right thing by getting on with your life . i just want to make sure that you do n't jump back into a business that 's already taken your oldest son . [ scene_break ] johnny : why the hell did n't you tell me that jerry jacks was working with devlin ? claudia : i did n't want you to worry about it , john . johnny : claudia , how many times do i need to tell you , i do n't need you protecting me . claudia : you know what ? you would n't be in this mess if it was n't for me . i 'm the one who got this whole nightmare rolling with ian . i feel like it 's up to me to deal with the fallout , johnny . johnny : you know , it is all becoming so crystal clear to me now . jerry jacks never gave a damn about renting property at the cannery . he was just sniffing around to squeeze you . claudia : yeah , you 're absolutely right . i underestimated the guy , okay ? jerry jacks is lethal , johnny . i should know , because he 's the one who stabbed me . [ scene_break ] anna : if you could just take a step back and consider the fact that you might be overcompensating because of your messed up childhood . robin : mom , please , stop blaming yourself . anna : i 'm not -- really . but because i kept you from robert for the first six years of your life , i think you feel that fathers are optional . you know , it 's nice if you have one , but they ca n't be counted on . and that kind of uncertainty -- i think you wo n't even let yourself believe in happily ever after . robin : this is not about you and dad . it 's about me and patrick . who , up until a few months ago , wanted to have nothing to do with a child . and it 's just now that my due date is getting closer and the fact that he found me collapsed on the floor , it 's just made him very nervous . and so now all of a sudden , he 's willing to step up and take responsibility . anna : you make it sound like a bad thing . robin : it is if it 's out of obligation . anna : no , it 's not . that 's just your fear talking . you 're not even hearing what it is patrick is trying to say . he wants to be with you , robin . why wo n't you let him ? [ scene_break ] johnny : so jerry jacks stabbed you and left you for dead . claudia : i was trying to get jerry to help me frame daddy as ian 's accomplice . johnny : i told you to drop that . claudia : i know -- well , i did n't listen , john , okay ? because i honestly -- i honestly believed that implicating daddy was a solution to our problems . so i kept pushing jerry -- johnny : yeah , and he stabbed you . so why the hell did n't you let me kill him when i had the chance ? claudia : because , john -- look , jerry 's out to cover his ass , and we 're trying to do the same . so in a way , i figured that kind of made us all allies . [ scene_break ] sonny : anthony zacchara threatened my daughter 's life . i 've just got to make sure it never happens again . ric : okay , sonny , i realize that you want to protect kristina . but realistically , what can you do ? are you going to call jason now ? are you going to tell him to kill anthony ? sonny : if that 's what it takes , ric . ric : sonny , unless jason is prepared to wipe out the entire zacchara family , there 's going to be a retaliation , a full - scale mob war , and then you and your children are going to be a target for real . sonny : okay , that is true but , you know , i 'm not going to just let anthony threaten my daughter to work alexis . ric : anthony realizes that a well - placed threat is infinitely more effective than the actual violence . i can assure you there is no harm that 's going to come to kristina . sonny : am i okay , am i supposed to just trust you on this ? that 's all i 'm going to ask you right now . ric : alexis is the mother of my daughter , too , and i look at kristina as if she were my own . now , do you honestly believe that i 'm going to let harm to come to either one of those girls ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : stranded again ? spinelli : oh , um , the jackal has been given a clean bill of health and is awaiting his ride back to casa de stone cold . elizabeth : well , i 'm glad you 're feeling better . spinelli : the jackal is likewise relieved , though he is still troubled that he may have distressed fair elizabeth with his musings about vixenella 's feelings for stone cold ? elizabeth : it 's okay , spinelli . spinelli : i just -- the jackal feels compelled to explain , even at the risk of involuntary sedation . um , look , stone cold has never shown even the slightest interest or reciprocal feelings for the daughter of darkness . indeed , the master does not seem to trust or even like her at all -- a fact that vixenella is well aware of , yet strangely unphased by . the jackal would almost go so far as to say they are antagonists , save for the fact that they proved themselves capable of working in harmony when i was felled by the dreaded asian ague . and you know , after being on the receiving end of her most mindful ministrations , the jackal must admit that callous claudia is not actually all that bad and even -- jason : spinelli . spinelli : oh . jason : stop .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : just sign here and you will be free to go . i 'll call you an orderly to wheel you out . jason : uh , i can do it . spinelli : um , actually , while stone cold is much more than capable of such a menial task , he would be in clear violation of section three , article eight of the hospital policy and procedures manual . and if the administrative ones discover such a breach in conduct , they would no doubt ram their fury on you like the goth god of zune . elizabeth : i wo n't tell if you wo n't . spinelli : the jackal appreciates fair elizabeth 's discretion on the matter and truly hopes that none of his earlier words were taken amiss ? elizabeth : not at all , just please stop explaining . jason : okay , come on , let 's go . spinelli : um , actually , the jackal senses me lingering discomfort between stone cold and the mother of little jacob martin . it would be ill - advised to leave without first attempting to clear the air -- elizabeth : there 's really no need , because i get it , okay ? that claudia likes jason . he does n't like her . either way , it has nothing to do with me . we have our own lives now . [ scene_break ] sonny : my goal is to believe that my children are safer now that i got out of the organization . very difficult to do that when i 'm actually doing the right thing , but everybody around me is telling me i 'm doing the wrong thing . ric : alexis is a very strong and capable woman . if the pressure gets too much , she can resign from her position as d.a . but the best thing , sonny , that you can do for yourself is to just stay out of it , okay ? do n't retaliate . sonny : yeah , i know , i 'm trying . ric : do n't make a big thing . do n't get involved . make sure that anthony knows that you 're not in the business and you are no longer a threat . sonny : do you think that 's easy ? ric , it 's hard to start a new life , you know , without thinking of the damage you 're leaving behind . ric : yeah , sure , but go ahead . just jump back into the business -- sonny : i do n't want -- ric : with both feet . start a full - scale mob war with anthony , and then you drag your children and their mothers through an endless morass of violence . look , whatever your motive , you did the right thing by getting out . you have a chance to be happy , make the most of it .

[ scene_break ] kate : what can i do for you ? carly : i understand you 're planning a huge wedding . in the interest of your dignity , you may want to rethink that . kate : excuse me ? carly : keep it small and simple . that way when sonny backs out , there will be no calls for embarrassment . kate : but , carly , the only one embarrassing herself here is you . carly : look , if you want to have a big flashy wedding , by all means go ahead , but at least be smarter about it than brenda was . do n't walk down the aisle until you actually see sonny standing there . but you still may want to wear waterproof mascara because it 's gon na hurt a whole hell of a lot when sonny leaves you standing there alone .

nikolas : so i do n't want to put any pressure on you to answer me right away , but just so i 'm clear , you do n't absolutely hate the idea of living with me , right ? rebecca : nikolas , what girl would n't want to live in a beautiful castle on an island with a prince ? come on , it 's a dream come true . nikolas : then why does it feel like you 're about to turn me down anyway ? rebecca : because as good as this feels and as tempted as i am to move in with you , i think you 're going to end up regretting it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i appreciate the warning about long lost relatives . ethan : well , all i 'm saying is that just because someone shares your dna , it does n't mean you actually know them . elizabeth : coming from you , that kind of sounds like a confession . is there something that 's keeping you in port charles other than the fact that you 're luke 's son ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i will die before i let michael throw away his life , but i 've made my choices and i have to live with what i 've done . but i 'll tell you one thing . i will not lose my son to this violent business . [ scene_break ] claudia : jax got me here under false pretenses . he wants a favor and he 's pressuring me . go ahead , jax . tell your wife what you want and how you want me to give it to you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : it seems like you 're anticipating some amorphous regret that i might have in the future . rebecca : i 'm just weighing the pros and the cons . i 'm sure that 's a foreign concept to someone who 's used to changing his mind any time and just have an entire staff ready to handle all the details . nikolas : wow . if that 's really the way you see me , no wonder you 're hesitating to move in with me . rebecca : seriously , nikolas , have you given any thought to the reasons why it might be a bad idea for me to live here ? nikolas : i absolutely did , and i could n't think of any . rebecca : this is the place where my twin sister lived with you . nikolas : yes , i know that , too . she was very happy here , and so could you . rebecca : okay , i ca n't take her place . nikolas : do n't see it that way . rebecca : other people will . nikolas : do n't care what other people think . rebecca : what will your son think ? nikolas : he 'll understand . he 's a very generous , loving boy . rebecca : i 'm sure he is . nikolas : i want you to meet him , i really do , but i just ca n't bring him home until the immediate threat from helena is over . rebecca : but when he does come home , he 's going to get to meet the new woman in his daddy 's life and his bed . and , oh , by the way , she looks just like emily , who happens to be the closest thing he 's ever had to a mother -- nikolas : i am willing to deal with that , as i 've showed you time and time again . so it makes me wonder , maybe you 're worried about your own regrets . [ scene_break ] ethan : you know , it 's difficult for any con to admit that he 's been taken . well , do n't look so surprised . i would n't even admit it to myself if i was n't getting hammered . elizabeth : well , you 've pretty much admitted to being a hustler . ethan : i 'm proud of it . you know , except for letting holly sutton set me up . you know , she dangled luke spencer in front of me . i took the bait . i mean , why would n't i want to learn at the feet of the master ? but unfortunately , she neglected to mention the part where he 's my father and she is my mummy . elizabeth : and that 's the part i do n't understand . if she wanted you to know about luke , why did n't she just tell you ? ethan : who cares ? you know , she 's gone . so is luke , and i 'm left here all alone with lucky , my long lost big brother who ca n't stand the sight of me . elizabeth : ethan , you came as a shock to all of us . it 's one of those things that , you know , we just have to get used to . ethan : you know , i think luke had the right idea -- to hell with it all and hit the road . that would make lucky happy . elizabeth : lucky 's issues with his dad started way before you showed up . ethan : ah , but i 'm a reminder that his father cheated on his mother . elizabeth : but that 's not your fault . and i do n't think lucky would get any satisfaction out of making you leave town . he 's not a perfect man , but he 's fair . ethan : i do n't know about that , but i do know that you are a stunning , stand- up woman . so you tell me , should i stick it out here or should i hit the road ? [ scene_break ] alexis : come on in , guys . sorry about the mess . after that insidious one nighter , i 'm certain that they are going to make me farm out half my cases to the adas , and might i add , he was n't worth it . patrick : your relationship with the mayor was way before this brianna hughes mess . alexis : nothing as mundane as facts will deter the media frenzy . robin : this is so wrong . especially , since it may have all been for nothing . patrick : we do n't know that yet . alexis : know what ? patrick : robin 's developing a theory that further complicates things . robin : i mean , if spinelli 's right , when things look tidy , there 's usually something wrong . alexis : you know , it 's been a really long day , so forgive me . i 'm not following you . robin : it 's possible the mayor did n't kill brianna hughes . [ scene_break ] jax : well , i wanted claudia to help us get michael out of sonny 's house . carly : well , that 's what i want to talk to you about . i spoke to the quartermaines . jax : yeah , edward called . he 's already getting michael 's computer system set up . instead of arguing with sonny about michael moving to the quartermaines , i thought that we could get some inside help . carly : claudia would n't spit on us if we were on fire . besides , she needs to keep michael close so she can work sonny . claudia : there 's a lot you do n't understand about michael 's situation and specifically , jax 's involvement in it . [ scene_break ] sonny : people assume that michael means less to me because he 's not my biological son , but they could not be more wrong . he means more to me than you can imagine , and i know you know that . jason : this is n't about how -- sonny : yes , okay , wait a minute . do n't start -- no because it is . for a long time , i did n't even know if i wanted children because all i knew was what i learned from deke , and i did n't want to be that -- cold , abusive , angry . michael showed me how to break the cycle . so i am a better man because of my son . jason : you do n't have to convince me . sonny : as far as i 'm concerned , he 's my first - born . and i know you 're not supposed to play favorites with your children , but we have a connection . he needs me . and more than that , i need him . and i learned that when he was away for that time , and i ca n't -- you know what ? this is where he 's got to be . you know that , right ? jason : yeah , i understand that , but we 're not talking about a feeling . sonny : okay , no , no , no . he belongs with his father . jason : he should n't be in this house . and i think you know that . [ scene_break ] alexis : are you telling me that i just made a highly public arrest of the wrong man ? patrick : possibly . alexis : okay , you guys stay here . i 'm going to go slit my wrists , and i do n't want to get blood all over you . patrick : alexis , hey , before you go sharpen the blade , will you just hear us out ? robin : first of all , this is my fault . i wanted so badly for patrick and matt to be exonerated from this stupid malpractice suit that i pushed for mayor floyd to be arrested before i did all my homework . alexis : but there was evidence , right ? that there was substantial sums of money transferred into brianna hughes ' account ? patrick : spinelli hacked into brianna 's accounts , yes . alexis : too much information . patrick : but it points towards brianna blackmailing the mayor . robin : right . and we all thought that mayor floyd killed brianna to shut her up and then tried to make it look like an accident . alexis : robin , do you or spinelli have evidence to the contrary ? robin : no . patrick : and spinelli only has a p.i . handbook he got online that says the first suspect is never the guilty party . robin : and as improbable as it sounds , i really believed mayor floyd when he said he was in love with brianna . so i think it 's possible that somebody else killed her , but do n't ask me who because i do n't know yet . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm guessing you 're not in the right frame of mind to be making life altering decisions . ethan : well , that 's exactly why i 'm leaving it in your lovely hands . elizabeth : relationships can be difficult even when things are going well . i know you can walk away , spare yourself a lot of heartache , make your life less complicated , probably have it a little less interesting . but i do n't know , if you stick with it , maybe it 'll be worth it . only you can decide . ethan : you know , my life was great . all i needed was a little extra pocket change to buy me the freedom to travel the world . and suddenly i 'm here . suddenly i 'm a spencer . and to add insult to injury , i 'm broke . elizabeth : i 'm sure you 'll fix that in no time . ethan : i do n't recognize myself anymore . i want a connection to someone who knew me before i was luke 's son , you know , someone to hold on to . elizabeth : sounds like you have that someone in mind . ethan : no , no , ignore me . i 'm stammering drunk . elizabeth : no , it 's okay because i understand . you just want things to go back to how they were before . and i 'm here to tell you that i 've tried and it ca n't be done . ethan : well , thanks anyway . elizabeth : it 's the least i can do . i happen to be part of this dysfunctional family that now you 're stuck with . and this is a perfect time to call you a cab . please , do n't argue with me . it 's a matter of keeping my own conscience clear . come on . [ scene_break ] spinelli : there was much valuable data on the jackal 's personal digital assistant . maxie : how could you lose it , spinelli ? that 's so not like you . spinelli : maximista was a torturous distraction . one can only hope that a kindly patron found it and returned it to the soul man . maxie : who ? spinelli : the scruffy , but oddly endearing proprietor . maxie : okay , whatever . how about you tell me more about this whole courtly love thing ? what does it involve aside from us not having sex ? coleman : i bet you are looking for this . you know what , gorgeous ? i 've been looking for you . [ scene_break ] carly : i would n't believe one word out of your lying mouth about jax or anyone else . so why do n't you get your miserable , skanky butt out of here ? claudia : do n't call me again . i have no reason to help you , ever . jax : i ca n't ever remember hating a woman as much as i hate that one . carly : i like it when we agree . why would you ever call her and ask her for help ? jax : it just feels like i 'm the reason that michael ca n't be home with you . carly : jax , you 're not . jax : well , it looks like i 'm tossing michael to the wolves to protect our unborn child . i mean , this is what it feels like to me . it ca n't be further from the truth . you know that . carly : i know . jax : i just -- if something happens to michael while he 's staying at sonny 's -- carly : no , no , no . okay , nothing is going to happen . we 're going to do whatever we have to do to get michael away from sonny . [ scene_break ] jason : when michael was a baby , i was the father that he knew until i realized that being with me was hurting him . so the best way for me to love him was to give him up . sonny : i know you still blame me for what happened to michael , for getting shot -- jason : michael got shot because of all of us , sonny . we are all responsible . we wanted him to close . we let our guard down . we bought into the delusion that we could keep him safe . sonny : i just got him back . how do i let him go ? michael : do n't do it , dad , please . please , do n't send me away . [ scene_break ] rebecca : we 're still at the beginning . it 's all new and exciting and full of surprises . nikolas : and you 're afraid that living together will suddenly make it old and dull and predictable ? rebecca : no , living together is going to invite all sorts of scrutiny and analysis from a lot of people who do n't even know me . i do n't want to worry about being under a microscope . if i 'm going to be with you , then i just want to be with you . nikolas : but taking this step will show all those people that they can have whatever opinion they want and it wo n't affect us . rebecca : oh , whatever , nikolas . in their eyes , i 'm always going to be competing with a ghost . nikolas : not in my eyes . the very first time you spent the night with me , you asked me what i wanted . what did i say ? rebecca : that you wanted me to fall asleep in your arms and wake up and have me still be there . nikolas : and that 's what we did . it felt right , did n't it ? rebecca : yeah . nikolas : so why does it have to be just for one night ? rebecca : you 're such a hard one to say no to . nikolas : then say yes . rebecca : yes . nikolas : yes . rebecca : yes .

[ scene_break ] robin : i keep going over the day that patrick and i were called to the hotel room , and mayor floyd seemed genuinely concerned . alexis : of course he was . he does n't want to be caught sleeping with a member of his staff . robin : no , i mean he seemed worried about brianna . he did n't look or sound like a man who had just killed someone . alexis : he 's a politician . he lies for a living . robin : i know that you 've been exposed , and i 'm sorry that it may have been for nothing . i would n't blame you if you were furious with me . alexis : why ? you did n't sleep with him . look , i want justice . i do n't want him punished for something that he did n't do if he did n't do it . but if he did , i want him to pay for it . that 's great . it 's another mess i have to clean up . [ scene_break ] coleman : see , i 've always wanted someone like you . maxie : you 're kidding . coleman : no , i know your type . when i used to work the velvet rope line at the private clubs , you 're exactly the kind of hottie i 'd pick out from the crowd . now , i 'm right , are n't i ? maxie , come on . now that you work for that magazine , you 're exactly what i need . spinelli : excuse me ; i will not tolerate soul man treating maximista like a meat market morsel . have a little respect or feel the jackal 's wrath . [ coleman laughs ] coleman : dude , i 'm just looking for advice on , you know , how to up the business around here . i mean , your lady , your fair lady , has her finger on the pulse of the millenials with disposal income . spinelli : oh . maxie : coleman 's right . i 've never met a velvet rope i could n't talk my way through . it 's my job to know what 's cool . coleman : you see , i 'm looking for folks that drink a lot and spend more . spinelli : if i might be so bold , you would do well to foster a setting of heightened romance in your establishment .

[ scene_break ] jax : while i never imagined that you would want michael to live with the quartermaines , i do support you . carly : i ca n't believe it myself , but it 's the right place for him right now . jax : yeah , assuming sonny does n't get it in the way . carly : we do n't have another alternative . michael is so afraid he 's going to have another big outburst in front of me or morgan , and sonny 's place is n't safe right now , especially if there 's about to be another mob war . as much as it kills me to send him to the quartermaines , it 's the safest place for him . jax : is there anything i can do to help ? carly : you know i so appreciate that you tried to manipulate claudia into doing the right thing , but , i mean , it was kind of a waste of time . i 'm going to have to go talk to sonny and michael myself , face them head on , and just deal with the fall out . [ scene_break ] michael : i get that you 're trying to protect me , but i do n't want to leave my dad . jason : i know you do n't . michael : jason is trying to guilt you into giving me up . you ca n't listen to him , dad . forget mom . forget jason . it 's you and me . michael : i heard what you and jason were saying . sonny : and you know i love you , right ? michael : i 'm your firstborn child . what you said about our connection , it 's real . sonny : yeah ? michael : and i 'm sick of everybody blaming you for what happened to me . it 's not your fault . sonny : it is my fault . everything was my fault . let 's put -- you know -- michael : i want to stay here . sonny : there 's nothing that i want more in the world for you to be here . i prayed every night for you to wake up , to come back to me . but i have to stop thinking about myself , and i have to think about you . michael : do n't do this , dad . sonny : this is the best thing for you . i do n't care what we wish . it 's too dangerous right now in this house for you . michael : i belong here . you said it yourself . sonny : i 'm not going to put you at risk . i 'm telling you this as your father , and i love you , but you ca n't live in this house anymore . [ scene_break ] claudia : that bastard jerry jax told his brother that i put the hit out on sonny and that i 'm responsible for getting michael shot . johnny : obviously , jax kept his mouth shut , or else you and i would be six feet under by now . claudia : well , he does n't exactly want carly to know on account of she 's having this whole risky pregnancy . johnny : okay , then why did you see fit to drag me out here ? claudia : a little support would be nice , john . hey , how many people can know about a secret before it 's not a secret anymore ? johnny : okay , you know what , claudia ? i was the one that told you months ago to bail , to get out of here , and you did n't . now it 's too late . and you 're pregnant with sonny 's kid or ric 's kid . whose baby is it , anyway ? claudia : that 's funny . johnny : yeah . i 'm up to my neck now in sonny 's business , so our only hope is to ride this out and have faith that it 's in everybody 's best interest that whoever is responsible for what happened to michael stays a secret . [ scene_break ] spinelli : in the best tradition of the bard emily dickinson , pablo neruda -- poetry is the most effective way to woo and win a woman 's heart . coleman : okay , the moon in june and all that crap , right . i 'm thinking more along the lines of girls in thongs dancing on the bar . maxie : ooh , or in cages . coleman : go - go girls . maxie : so vintage . i love it . spinelli : that is the antithesis of courtly love . i 'm talking about the ways to stir a woman 's soul . maxie : no , romance is fine , spinelli , in its place , but this is a bar . and people who go to a club , they want to have fun . spinelli : and by fun , i assume you mean binge drinking and random hook - ups ? no , no , no . we need to elevate this place to a higher level of cool , the art of love expressed through poetry and song . maxie : not everyone is as cool as you , and i 'm not sure jake 's is the place for kicking it old school . spinelli : ye of little faith . coleman : whoa , hey , i do n't have insurance for that , man . spinelli : `` doubt that the stars are fire doubt that the sun doth move doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt my love . `` coleman : a bit weird , but might be on to something . [ scene_break ] diane : i have been saving this for just such an occasion . alexis : i 'm guessing you heard . diane : well , it 's the lead story on all the local news stations . and i would n't go online if i were you . there 's a very spirited debate among the bloggers as to whether or not the lady d.a . who slept with her married boss deserves o keep her job . alexis : you do it . i 'm too tempted to jam it through my veins . [ diane chuckles ] alexis : so what 's the consensus ? diane : the consensus is that there is now a double standard . it seems that when a man has an affair , it 's just a simple moral lapse in judgment . but when it 's a woman , off with her head . alexis : so maybe i should have my suit jackets embroidered with a big red `` a. `` diane : the power of our sexuality still strikes fear into their tiny black hearts . alexis : sweet . there 's going to be a bad scandal , and i have a feeling it 's just getting started . [ scene_break ] lulu : is this a bad time ? i hate to interrupt you when you 're brooding . nikolas : no , no , actually , i have the rest of the evening to meet my quota . lulu : oh . nikolas : although , that was n't the plan . lulu : you were stood up . nikolas : no , duty called , thank you . lulu : oh , well , sorry . i hate it when that happens . are you okay ? nikolas : oh , yeah , great . better than great , actually . though , i do n't think you will agree with me . in fact , i suspect you 'll think i 'm crazy . lulu : well , actually , i have a very high threshold for crazy these days . i do n't think there 's anything that you could say that would shock me . nikolas : i asked rebecca to move in with me . lulu : except for that .

'cause i have my own relationship with my dad , and believe it or not , it does n't involve lucky . dante : look , i know you have your own relationship with your father . what i 'm saying right now is he 's in a place where you ca n't get to him emotionally and mentally . lulu , i know you love your father you got ta hear this -- he is gone . lulu : this is my dad . i get to love him however i want . and if i want to go to hell with him and live the rest of my life in a brothel , i get to do that . dante : do n't be silly . you 'll throw your life away . lulu : no , i 'm not throwing my life away . i do n't have time for this ! i am so late .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] aj : just make sure it gets done , all right ? goodbye . okay , i thought that we agreed that you were gon na stay away from kiki . michael : easier said than done . i ran into her yesterday . aj : where ? michael : the boathouse . aj : what -- our boathouse ? michael : i was looking for morgan , and she happened to be there . aj : it 's not that strange , given the fact that she 's living there now . michael : i was upset with morgan about ... something . his sandals and his shirt were outside the door , and i walked into the boathouse , and kiki was standing there , topless . aj : what -- what exactly does that mean ? michael : what do you think it means ? she was n't wearing a shirt . aj : no bra ? michael : no . she was changing into her bathing su -- you know , it does n't matter . the fact is i walked in , and i saw her there ... like that . aj : [ sighs ] okay , this is the part where i remind you that that girl is your cousin . michael : i am painfully aware of that , thank you . that 's actually why i 'm here . i , uh , need you to help me stay away from kiki . [ scene_break ] kiki : ugh . what are my parents doing in there ? morgan : i do n't know . trying to convince my mom to let me stay is pointless , though , fyi . there 's nothing you can say to change her mind . [ scene_break ] ava : that 's who you were talking about when you said you knew who tried to kill you ? our daughter 's boyfriend 's mother ? carly : i have a name . ava : yeah , yes , of course , you do . forgive me . carly -- she wants you dead ? franco : she lured me to her hotel . she owns a hotel . really , she owns the whole place . wo n't let anybody forget it . so , she gets me out on the terrace , and i 'm looking forward to what i 'm hoping will be a fruitful conversation about some of the issues that have popped us between -- carly : i just wanted assurances that my kids were okay . franco : there was a gunman , laying in wait . i saw a glimpse -- a flash of light from an upstairs window . but carly 's hit man was a miss man . he missed me and instead hit carly 's hotel manager . carly : i had nothing to do with olivia 's shooting . i was cleared of any -- franco : so , the police have questioned you ? carly : yes , because i own the hotel . franco : see ? carly : they found nothing to connect me with the shooting because i did n't do it . do n't you read the paper , franco ? shockingly , someone else wants you dead . [ scene_break ] alexis : [ sighs ] shawn : alexis , look . do n't you see ? this -- this changes everything . alexis : except it does n't . do n't get me wrong -- for the sake of your conscience , i 'm relieved that you 're not responsible . shawn : [ sighs ] alexis : but whether or not you actually shot olivia does n't change the fact that you tried to kill someone , and it was n't out of passion . it was n't because you were in fear of your life . it was n't even a personal vendetta . it was because it was a job -- a job ! you were doing it , because someone else asked you to , and if you think you can dress that up any way you want , you ca n't , because that is something i ca n't live with . [ scene_break ] carly : as you can see , i 'm in the clear . ava : i understand there were two shooters . who 's to say you did n't hire them both ? carly : are you serious ? that 's beyond crazy . ava : it does n't sound crazy to me . does it sound crazy to you ? carly : what are you talking about ? he is crazy . franco : actually , i think ava makes an excellent point . it 's not beyond the realm of possibility , considering your commitment towards hating me . why would n't you hire two snipers ? make sure i 'm doubly dead . you should know that might make morgan twice as upset . carly : this is how you prove you 're a changed man -- by blackmailing me into risking my kid 's safety ? franco : that 's not unfair , given my past and the wide gray area i have when it comes to morality , but you should know that morgan is perfectly safe . i 'm not gon na hurt him . carly : why do n't you prove your goodwill by letting him go ? franco : [ sighs ] because i have my own child 's well - being to consider , and i believe that she would benefit from making strong , loving bonds with both of her parents , and she wants her boyfriend here , and since said parents are in a position to make that happen , i think everybody wins . carly : you do n't have leverage over me . the police think i 'm innocent . i could give a damn what the two of you think about me . ava : and what about what your son thinks of you ? [ scene_break ] morgan : your parents are wasting their time . kiki : my parents have gone insane . last week , my mom tried to stab my dad with a letter opener , and this week , their tongues are fused together . morgan : [ snickers ] that is insane . i think everyone is , except us . kiki : sorry you ever got involved with me ? morgan : no . are you kidding me ? the best thing that 's ever happened to me . it 's us against the world , right ? kiki : right . [ scene_break ] aj : all right , look . here 's what you do . you want to stop seeing kiki ? stop going to the house . michael : well , a lot of my family is at the house . i got monica , i got morgan , i got you . aj : topless kiki . michael : [ sighs ] what -- what am i supposed to do ? aj : uh ... [ sighs ] yeah , i do n't -- take your grandmother to lunch . you know , you want to see me -- here at the office , the gym . michael : you never go to the gym . aj : shut up , all right ? you know what 's happening ? you , my friend , are making excuses , because you want to continue to accidentally bump into your cousin . michael : [ sighs ] that 's why i 'm thinking the only way for me to get away from kiki is for you to send me out of the country . [ scene_break ] nikolas : well , we could n't have asked for better news . i 'm really happy for you . lulu : thank you . nikolas : and i 'm sure you 'll be as wonderful a mother as you are a sister . lulu : i love you . you know that , right , nikolas ? nikolas : yeah , of course , i do . you okay ? lulu : there 's something that i need to tell you . actually , both of you . laura : okay . lulu : um , you know how , uh , stavros forced me to marry him ? nikolas : yeah . lulu : well , it did n't stop there . he wanted me to consummate the marriage . laura : oh , lulu . lulu : he said that he would kill my family if i did n't . nikolas : tell me you did n't do it , lulu . tell me you did n't do it . lulu : i did n't do it . i refused , but it came at a price -- a big -- a big price . stavros pulled out his phone , and he gave the order . he had you shot , nikolas . [ voice breaking ] he had you shot to punish me . nikolas : it 's okay . lulu : i 'm so sorry . nikolas : it 's okay . do n't -- look at me . look -- look at me . you do n't apologize . okay ? i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for everything that my father did to you and to you . laura : oh , nikolas , no . no . nikolas : you made the right decision . lulu : but it was at your expense . you could have been killed . nikolas : but i was n't , and it 's over for good . and i 'm very grateful that i did n't lose anyone i love . [ scene_break ] shawn : so , it 's that cut - and - dry with you ? you would end our relationship over my job ? alexis : do n't say it like you run the local diner . shawn : i do , alexis . alexis : among other things -- things like killing people for money . do you honestly think that i can be comfortable with something like that ? shawn : well , you seem to be pretty comfortable with sonny . alexis : oh , come on . shawn : defending him . alexis : that is different ! shawn : how ? alexis : because he 's the father of my kid , how ! i ca n't just cut him out of my life . i 've tried . believe me . shawn : so , that 's it , hmm ? there 's nothing in you that wants to hold on to what we had ? alexis : shawn , i would love to hold on to what we had , but things have changed , obviously . but what i will tell you -- what has n't changed is that i still love you . shawn : look , baby , and i love you , too . alexis : i do n't want to lose you . shawn : so do n't . alexis : there 's only one way to make that happen . you have to quit . [ scene_break ] nikolas : no more feeling guilty , okay ? you have other things to focus on . laura : yes , you do -- like a beautiful baby girl who we are all gon na spoil rotten . lulu : [ chuckles ] nikolas : and i 'm so happy that you shared the news in person . it means a lot to both of us . and i ca n't wait to meet my beautiful little niece . lulu : i love you . nikolas : i love you , too . now , if you will excuse me . laura : sweetie , you know your brother 's right , do n't you -- that that was not your fault . you must let that go . lulu : i know . laura : right ? lulu : yes . laura : okay . good . i think we need to go out shopping right now . lulu : [ chuckles ] laura : i do . [ chuckles ] i mean , i adore my grandsons -- do n't get me wrong -- but , oh , i just love the little frilly skirts and the dresses and all of that . lulu : [ chuckles ] laura : now , your father , on the other hand , is probably gon na rush out and get her some ... ice - fishing gear or something like . lulu : actually , the topic already came up . laura : oh , so he knows ? lulu : yes , i just saw him . laura : is he over the moon ? what did he say ? lulu : uh , it was what he did n't say that 's kind of bothering me . [ scene_break ] tracy : do n't you understand how important you are to me ? i know it 's not the same . [ sighs ] you 're not my child or my husband or even my lover , anymore , but you 're my ... you . and if i can help save your life , that 's what i 'm gon na do . luke : as much as i appreciate that , not only is this dangerous , i do n't even know how long it 's gon na take . tracy : so ? luke : so , what about your company and those two defective nephews ? tracy : do you really think that my family drama is important to me as much as you are ? luke : well , tracy , think about this . as soon as you 're gone and junior realizes it , he 'll be on those neo - qs and secure his position . tracy : let him . luke : you do n't mean that . that company is all you ever think about . tracy : maybe . and maybe i am driven to succeed , and maybe i would thrill to squash aj like the cockroach that he is . and maybe i want to secure my family 's future . but let 's face it . none of them are ever gon na thank me , and elq will roll along without me . or not . but the company ca n't dazzle me or infuriate me . only one person can do that . and if you 're not around , what 's the point ? and you said , by the way , that we are partners in crime . luke : i did . tracy : let me come with you . [ scene_break ] alexis : i mean , it 's not like you do n't already have a job . we just talked about that . what 's wrong with working at kelly 's ? shawn : oh , nothing . alexis : good . good . because you 're good at it . you 're good at managing it . you know , and it 's a landmark in the community . shawn : oh . alexis : you should be so proud . shawn : right . says the hotshot attorney . [ sighs ] alexis : ooh . [ sighing ] oh . are you embarrassed by what you do ? shawn : look , it 's just not the way i envisioned my life , okay ? i want more . alexis : more bloodshed ? not enough bloodshed at kelly 's , huh ? shawn : you know me , alexis . i thrive on excitement , risk . you know , i want to be tested like i was when i was in the marines . alexis : kelly 's can be exciting . shawn : [ chuckling ] oh , yeah . ohh , the rush of picking out the daily specials -- ooh , nothing like that . alexis : a man was impaled there once . does that count for anything ? shawn : stop . you know what i mean . alexis : [ sighs ] in most cases , shawn , i do know what you mean , but not in this case . you do n't like your job ? get another one . get another damn job . there 's plenty of jobs out there -- jobs that do n't involve murder . shawn : it 's not like i 'm wasting people left and right . alexis : oh , wow . well , that clears it all up . you think sonny is gon na just ask you this one time to kill someone ? trust me -- he 's gon na ask you again . and you said you loved me . shawn : and i meant it . alexis : then stop working for sonny ! shawn : on one condition . you do the same . [ scene_break ] aj : i 'm not sending you out of the country . michael : why not ? look , i - i can work for elq international in , like , dubai or london . aj : stop . stop . all right ? you 're my right - hand man . i need you . michael : you 've got duke . aj : and duke is awesome . but you , my friend , are my son , and he 's no substitute . michael , come on , this is no time to abandon ship . michael : i 'm not abandoning ship . i 'm just trying to be responsible . aj : okay , look . i get it . but the truth of that matter is that elq stock -- it 's tanking . tracy 's still on our heels . michael , i need you . michael : i 'll still be with you . aj : yeah -- an ocean apart . let 's just -- let 's forget about work for a second , all right ? look , the truth is you 're not just my son . you 're ... [ sighs ] you 're pretty much the only friend i have . michael : you got elizabeth , right ? aj : not anymore . [ scene_break ] nikolas : surprised to see you . elizabeth : lesley said i might find you here . nikolas : you were looking for me ? elizabeth : i wanted to return this . i do n't need it anymore . nikolas : oh . so , i take it you spoke to aj . elizabeth : honestly , i wish i had never heard that confession in the first place . [ scene_break ] aj : the truth of the matter is that my relationship with elizabeth might be over before it ever started . michael : why ? what happened ? aj : [ sighs ] she found out that i slept with your mother . [ scene_break ] ava : i got to know morgan pretty well when he was staying at my place in new york . carly : yeah , about that . here 's a thought -- why not call his parents ? ava : he 's an adult . carly : he 's a college student , and he got himself into trouble , and you looked the other way . ava : i listened . and it 's a good thing i did . that morgan -- he has a lot to say about his place in his family ... or lack thereof . carly : excuse me ? ava : yes , he told me all about being shipped off to boarding school -- how he felt like he 'd been banished from his home and family . carly : my son was n't banished . i sent him away to protect him . ava : right . from his father 's coffee business . and yet here you are at the center of a caffeine - ordered hit . a little hypocritical , no ? carly : you know absolutely nothing about my son , so do n't you dare presume to know -- franco : she 's right , you know -- let 's not presume . let 's not guess at all . let 's ask the man in question ourselves . carly : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? franco : children ! can you come back to the grown - up table , please ? there 's something we 'd like to discuss with you . morgan , it 's about your mother . morgan : mom , what 's going on ? franco : well , this may or may not come as a surprise to you , morgan , but your mother 's made a decision . she has decided -- carly : i decided that you can stay . morgan : what ? seriously ? carly : yeah . i mean , this is obviously where you want to be . morgan : yeah , no offense , but that did n't really matter to you before . what changed your mind ? franco : well , we did . did n't we ? [ scene_break ] shawn : look , you work for sonny , too . alexis : i 'm his lawyer -- not his enforcer . there 's a world of difference . shawn : not really . alexis : really . shawn : okay , you may not pull the trigger , but you facilitate for the people who do . you defend them . you put them back on the streets and help them make it possible for them to continue to carry out sonny 's orders -- whatever those orders may be . alexis : listen , i work within a system , and that system says that i do my best to defend while someone else does their best to prosecute . it is a far cry from shooting whoever sonny decides he does n't like that week . shawn : so , bottom line is , alexis , you refuse to quit . alexis : let me ask you something . do you have a moral issue with my job ? shawn : no . alexis : well , i have one with yours . [ scene_break ] morgan : i 'm sorry , but this is weird . you were about to drag me out of here , kicking and screaming . what do they have on you ? franco : [ chuckles ] that 's a good one . ava : it actually was n't that hard of a sell . i just told your mom how happy kiki makes you . morgan : i -- i 've been telling her that for weeks . ava : i explained to carly that if she truly loves morgan , she 'll let the two of you be together . kiki : you really said that ? ava : we both did . morgan : well , what about , you know , all the stuff he did ? carly : you know , morgan , um -- ava : yes , you know , i was able to convince carly that franco 's a changed man . now , he may still be a work in progress , but if anybody can keep him in line , i can . i do have you wrapped around my little finger , have n't i ? franco : yes , you do . you certainly do . you do . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm sorry -- you did what with my mom ? aj : okay , that 's rhetorical , right ? michael : yeah , that 's rhetorical . aj : you and i have definitely got to stop discussing our sex lives while drinking water . michael : i ca n't believe this . you -- you slept with my mom . aj : [ sighs ] hey , look on the bright side -- you 're not thinking about kiki right now , are you ? hey , come on . you 're not mad , are you ? michael : i thought you and my mom hated each other . aj : oh , oh , we do -- with a passion . it was just one of those crazy nights . michael : so , you guys ca n't stand each other , yet you sleep together ? aj : uh , at least she 's not my first cousin . michael : [ sighs ] aj : too soon . hey , this is really hitting you . michael : whatever . you guys are adults . you can do whatever you want . aj : hey , look , michael , it was one time . we both agreed it was a huge mistake . come here . listen , listen . let me tell you what happened . elizabeth had just dumped me for being overly possessive . i was pissed off . i was starting to spiral , and carly was there . it meant nothing . it 'll never happen again . michael : [ sighs ] okay , so , how -- how did elizabeth find out ? did you -- did you tell her ? aj : no . no , i have nikolas to thank for that . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : how do you think aj reacted ? he was upset . he assumed you gave me the recording . nikolas : oh , my -- unbelievable . you -- you tell aj that you found out he slept with carly , and the first thing he does is blame me ? come on . elizabeth : [ sighs ] it 's not outside the realm of possibility that you would want to make him look bad . nikolas : elizabeth , i never intended for you to even hear that recording . you remember -- cam hit the button on my phone . elizabeth : just do n't . nikolas : `` do n't `` what ? elizabeth : do n't play the innocent victim . nikolas : okay , i 'm -- i really do n't know what you 're talking -- what are you talking about ? elizabeth : why did n't you tell me that when aj and carly hooked up we were n't together ? nikolas : i did n't -- i did n't know -- why -- elizabeth : i thought he cheated on me , nikolas . nikolas : [ sighs ] okay , for the record , i never said that you were together , but it does n't -- why does that matter ? elizabeth : it 's kind of an important piece of information to leave out . and i think you did it intentionally . [ scene_break ] laura : please tell me that your father at least managed to congratulate you . lulu : oh , no . he was super - excited about the baby . laura : okay . then i do n't understand . lulu : uh , i went into the suite , and he was there with tracy , and the vibe was super intense . i got the distinct feeling i was interrupting something . i thought maybe it had to do with the tests that tracy had at the hospital , but she said that those turned out to be nothing . laura : yeah , luke told me the same . lulu : yeah , but still there was something off . so , i do n't know if the situation with tracy is worse than they 're letting on , or if dad is covering for her , or ... laura : or if tracy is covering for him . [ scene_break ] tracy : maybe it was all a lie . maybe i 'm not the bonnie to your clyde . luke : no , tracy . you 're the best damn bonnie any clyde could ever have . you know how i feel about you . you 're my ...

[ scene_break ] nikolas : let me make sure i understand this . aj had sex with carly while you and aj were at odds with each other , and according to you ... [ chuckles ] ... aj thought that you had dumped him , and when you heard that recording , you think that i should have somehow defended aj -- that i -- that i should have pointed out that you two were not together at the exact moment he decided to have sex with carly ? elizabeth : i think you knew i was building up a head of steam ... nikolas : no . nikolas : elizabeth , i was just -- i was just trying to -- elizabeth : maybe i would n't have confronted him . nikolas : i was just trying to stay out of it . elizabeth : is that some kind of a joke ? nikolas : no , it 's not a joke . i want you for myself . you know that . any judgment one way or the other about you and aj would have come off as self- serving . elizabeth : no , it would have come off as the truth . nikolas : yeah . all right , so ...
