[ scene_break ] nikolas : here you go . elizabeth : so , we should just have our family and closest friends there , do n't you think ? lucky : yeah , i agree . just the people we care about . elizabeth : good . and i 'd like to have a minister perform the ceremony . emily : and you could have it at the mt . hebron baptist church where you and lucky said your vows during the blizzard . elizabeth : that 's right , that 's a good idea . emily : and we could have the reception at wyndermere . elizabeth : oh , thanks for offering , you guys . god , there is so much to talk about . come on , let 's go talk about the wedding . emily : ok . nikolas : so , when did you decide to propose ? lucky : ever since elizabeth moved in . you know , it was just a matter of choosing the right time . nikolas : and this was it ? carly and alcazar 's party ? lucky : what are you getting at , nikolas ? nikolas : no , i -- you know , i 'm just wondering if it had anything to do with sending jax a clear message that elizabeth belongs to you . lucky : do you think i 'd honestly make some lifetime decision based on a macho knee - jerk reaction ? nikolas : you said yourself -- i mean , when you punched him -- lucky : no , i said that it 's weird that elizabeth is having another man 's baby . and most guys in my position would feel the same way . nikolas : no question about it . lucky : listen , i love elizabeth , and i want to marry her . so just do me a favor . be on my side , ok ? [ scene_break ] jax : lucky was just a little upset . we 're ok now . courtney : are you ? jax : yeah , yeah . it 's really not that important . courtney : i think it is . i mean , assuming that you were fighting over elizabeth . is that why you 're so obviously unhappy about their engagement ? jax : courtney , no . i 'm just -- i 'm just questioning the timing , that 's all . courtney : jax , well , they 're in love . i mean , we all knew that they were going to get married sooner or later . what 's the difference if it happened now or a year from now ? jax : because there may be legal implications if they get married before the surrogate birth . courtney : there 's no such thing as a surrogate birth , jax . it 's just a birth . either you 're capable of it or you 're not . jax : if elizabeth is pregnant , she 's carrying our child . but in the eyes of the law , a married woman 's husband has presumptive paternal rights . courtney : you honestly think that they would want to keep the baby , jax ? i mean -- jax : i 'm just saying that it would be wise to look at all the -- you know , the ramifications . courtney : i do n't think your problem has anything to do with the eyes of the law . i think that you 're just getting possessive of the mother of your child . [ scene_break ] [ thunder ] [ alexis sighs ] ric : you know , in all this talk about naming our baby , we have n't even considered family names yet . alexis : with good reason . ric : you sure about that ? kristina was named for your sister , and she was named for your mother . are you sure there 's nobody else in your family you would want to honor ? alexis : i 'm sure . i 'm really sure . none . nobody . with the exception of nikolas , the cassadines should all be forgotten . ric : ok , just asking . alexis : i miss my mom . i miss all the things that she could teach me about being a mother . i wonder how things would have been different . ric : do you feel it affected the way you raised kristina ? alexis : i 'm never going to know . i 'm just doing the best that i can . and now that i 've got one under my belt , i 'm sure i 'll be a much better mother for little minerva . ow ! oh ! ric : what 's the matter ? it 's a contraction ? what are you hitting yourself for ? alexis : because my thigh is asleep . ric : all right . wait a minute . it 's ok . [ alexis sighs ] ric : is that better ? alexis : mm - hmm . ric : yeah ? you know , it 's interesting what you said . alexis : so many things i say are interesting . which one ? ric : well , i know that , but before , about being deprived of your mother , how you felt it affected the way you 've been raising kristina . alexis : i know you grew up without your mom , too . ric : yeah , i felt her absence my whole life , even when i did n't know her . my father was just so emotionally distant . he -- you know , losing adela and forcing me on his new wife . it just -- it just destroyed him . it destroyed him , it destroyed his marriage , and i guess , in a large part , it destroyed me . alexis : you 're a good man , and whatever trevor lansing broke in you , you 've repaired it . ric : yeah , but i could n't repair us , could i ? what kind of father am i going to be , alexis , if i give our child the same kind of broken home that my father gave me ? alexis : if how you 've been with kristina is any indication of the kind of father that you 'll be , you will be everything that i 've ever possibly hoped for for this baby .

[ dr. thomas sighs ] dr. thomas : well , i 'll give you this much . you 're consistent in your indecision . i mean , how can that boy benefit from therapy if you 're constantly sending him mixed messages ? jason : well , you know what ? i have some questions about his therapy . dr. thomas : which i thought we 'd finally resolved . i mean , you encourage him to share his nightmare and then you shut him down . do you want me to help michael ? or would you prefer to nurse your own control issues by remaining his only confidante ? jason : you know what ? sam : jason , what 's going on ? dr. thomas : michael had a nightmare . and i 'd like to explore the dream with him , but jason 's apparently conflicted about the idea . sam : jason , come on . you know how much these nightmares scare michael . jason : ok , go ahead , dr. thomas . dr. thomas : thank you . sam : yeah , whatever . dr. thomas : excuse me . [ jason sighs ] sam : so ? what happened after i beat you at dominoes ? i did win , right ? so ? jason : you won . sam : yeah ? jason : yeah . then you passed out . sam : right here , on the couch ? jason : actually , on the floor , and i carried you to the couch . and then michael had a nightmare , so i went up to see him . and when i came down , dr. thomas was sitting next to you . sam : that 's weird . jason : yeah , he said he was taking your pulse . sam : oh . oh , no , jason , he must think i 'm a lush . i mean , i -- yeah , i reek of tequila and alcohol . it 's disgusting . jason : ok , do you remember anything when you were alone with dr. thomas ? sam : no . no . i mean , the last thing i remembered is playing dominoes and waking up from hearing you guys discussing whatever it is you were discussing . jason : well , i just , you know -- it threw me to see -- to see him so close to you . sam : well , look , i trust your instincts , jason , so if you can pinpoint -- [ jason sighs ] sam : exactly what it is that 's bothering you -- jason : yeah , maybe i wanted to see something that made me doubt him . all i know is i do n't trust the guy . [ scene_break ] dr. thomas : do you remember having any dream like this before ? michael : maybe . i do n't know . dr. thomas : ok . well , why do n't we let it go for now . and if you remember anything , you just let me know , ok ? michael : ok . dr. thomas : ok . jodie : did you see what he left ? michael : yeah , it 's a p.d.a . jodie : want to see what 's on it ?

[ elizabeth chuckles ] emily : does this sudden caution about marriage have to do with elizabeth and lucky or you and me ? nikolas : you know , i do n't think this is the time or place to discuss our problems . emily : nikolas , we have nothing but time . and since we 're marooned here indefinitely , why do n't we just find a private spot to continue this discussion ? nikolas : fine . sorry if we made you uncomfortable .

[ scene_break ] emily : do you have to broadcast the fact that we 're having problems , nikolas ? nikolas : they 're our friends , emily . they already know . emily : yeah , well , and if they did n't , you certainly made it clear when you walked out and you tried to drive home in the middle of a hurricane . nikolas : wait , you -- you walked out . what did you expect me to do ? emily : come after me , talk to me , make an effort , nikolas ! anything ! nikolas : i have been making an effort for months , emily , and nothing has changed . [ emily sighs ] emily : ok , so you just gave up and left ? is that your answer ? nikolas : i 'm not -- no . i 'm not giving up . emily : no , you 're just airing our problems in front of elizabeth and lucky . you 're using their engagement as an excuse to complain about the state of our marriage , nikolas . you 're not -- you ca n't even be happy for them for -- nikolas : you 're right . i 'm not happy unless you 're happy , and you 're not . you 're faking it . emily : nikolas , you keep saying that , but you do n't know what i 'm feeling . nikolas : oh , yes , i do know . i do know . you 're still hurting from being raped . why ca n't you respect me enough to admit that ?

[ scene_break ] jax : if you and lucky get married before the baby 's born -- elizabeth : thanks . jax : it may change the surrogacy agreement . elizabeth : alexis mentioned that . jax : so i 'm just saying that lucky 's proposal may have been influenced by that knowledge . elizabeth : jax , lucky and i love each other . we want to get married . jax : no , no , no . i totally -- i understand that . but i 'm a businessman . i need to look at this from a legal standpoint . elizabeth : ok . jax : if a surrogate is married at the time of birth , her husband has the presumptive paternal rights to any child she bears . elizabeth : and your point is ? jax : would you consider putting off the marriage until the baby 's born ? elizabeth : are you afraid that lucky and i are going to try to keep your child ?

[ scene_break ] carly : i do n't know how to make it any clearer . i am hurt and angry that kate hit on you . jax : i 'm not proud of myself , carly , and i 'm sorry that i hurt you , and i 've told you that it 's not going to happen again , but you obviously do n't believe me . carly : i want to believe you . jax : then why do n't you trust me , or better yet , respect me and have some respect for yourself ? carly : it 's kate i do n't respect or trust . jax : you know , whatever kate feels about you stems from how much you dislike her . carly : oh , great , so now this is my fault . you 're turning this around , and you 're making it my fault , when you chose to ignore my feelings . i was honest with you . i told you i did n't want kate around you , and somehow that makes me unreasonable . jax : you are . carly : really ? jax : yes . carly : well , let 's see . kate kissed you , and she is going to continue to hit on you , and i 'm not going to stand around here and act like it 's not happening , so you have a decision to make . you can stay in business with kate , or you can stay married to me . which one would you choose ? [ scene_break ] maxie : the first time that logan showed up at the `` crimson `` office , lulu and i tried to get him to leave . she -- she blew him off , and logan got really upset and blamed me , and then he left . and then later when lulu and kate left , logan showed up again . he said that he -- he was watching and waiting . he knew i was alone . spinelli : what did he do to you ? maxie : nothing . i 'm fine . he attacked me . spinelli : what kind of attack ? did he ... did he hurt you ? maxie : he tried , but i fought back . he threw me over kate 's desk , and i must have hit my head or something , because right before i lost consciousness , i looked , and i saw logan staring out the window towards johnny 's apartment . and when i woke up later , johnny was there , and i told him about the window , and we ran across the street . when we got there , lulu was inside johnny 's apartment . she was completely panicked , and logan was dead . logan wanted to kill someone , okay , and -- and lulu said when she saw him attacking me through the window , she completely freaked out , and then he -- he went across the street . she -- she was just defending herself . she had to protect herself . spinelli : well , why did n't she call for help ? maxie : her cell phone died , and -- and she said she could n't find the land line to call 911 , so there 's no record that logan smashed down the door , and -- spinelli : right , she could n't prove self - defense , so you were compelled to cover it up ? maxie : well , johnny was n't going to let lulu take the blame . when claudia showed up , he said that he had done it , and claudia bought it immediately . she helped him get rid of logan 's body . spinelli , i do n't know how long lulu 's going to be able to keep this secret for . i do n't even know if she should , and if this whole cover - up starts to unravel and johnny is charged with murder , anthony zacchara is going to freak out and kill all of us . spinelli : the jackal would never allow anyone to hurt you , ever . [ scene_break ] trevor : easy , john . claudia already told us that you killed logan hayes and that maxie jones and lulu heard your confession , so all i 'm doing here is trying to make absolutely certain that you think this through very clearly . johnny : there 's nothing wrong with my thinking . trevor : i already worked out a defense if the cops come up with enough evidence to charge you . johnny : in case you missed something , trevor , i have n't admitted a thing to anyone , including yourself . anthony : good , i 'm glad to hear that . now , johnny , the cops , the press , the d.a . -- you have no comment if they dare accuse you of being involved in logan 's murder . righteous indignation is your friend . also , do n't make up any stupid stories that 'll trip you up later . that includes you , too , little girl . johnny : do n't worry about lulu . anthony : i worry about everything where you 're concerned , john . you 're smart , john , but nothing can take the place of experience , so just do everything you 're told , and trevor and i can take care of this . anyone becomes a problem -- anyone -- they will be removed . johnny : threats against lulu are no way to get my cooperation . anthony : johnny , i mean this with all my heart . no confessing , no arguing with lawyers , and no taking things into your own hands . if you do what you 're told , i can make this go away . if you do n't , lulu pays the price . [ scene_break ] kate : so diane 's an amazing attorney and a good friend -- sonny : no , she 's a great lawyer . leave it at that . she does n't know a damn thing about what 's good for your magazine . mike : hey , guys . you 're here together , and no one 's yelling . i think that 's a good sign . kate : oh , great . my guess is you saw the photo , too . mike : no , someone told me about it , but -- kate : no , it 's -- you know what , mike ? you deserve an explanation . mike : no , no , i do n't . i do n't . i just -- i wanted to tell you that whatever that picture shows , i know that you love my son and that there 's no way in hell that you 'd be unfaithful to him . kate : thank you , mike . mike : and you ... i owe you an apology . sonny : oh , oh , no . what 's that ? what 's going on ? mike : well , i completely underestimated you , because i was sure you were going to be furious , so i was ready to come over and do a little damage control , assure kate that once you cooled down , you 'd remember how much you 've been through together and how much you loved her . i do n't know how you did it , but you -- you got my son to be able to think before he reacts in anger . sonny : well , mike , you know , there 's something about kate . i trust her , and we 're good together . kate : something like that . it goes both ways . mike : well , i 'm happy for you both , and i will try from now on to resist the urge to meddle , okay ? kate : oh , no , you can meddle all you want , because it means that you care , and we both want that , do n't we , sonny ? sonny : yeah , we do . [ scene_break ] jax : you know how i feel about ultimatums . they have no place in a relationship outside of high school . carly : you got a better answer ? jax : yeah , we should n't have to choose . our marriage should take top priority over all other commitments , except of course , the commitment we have to the little boy that we 're trying to raise together . i mean , nothing should be more important than our trust for each other , carly . carly : well , i agree . jax : look , i made a mistake by kissing kate . it was -- it was a bad call , and i 'm sorry . but we hashed it out last night , and you said that you forgave me . we made love , you fell asleep in my arms , and then you get up . first thing , you go out looking for revenge . i mean -- and you ambush me and kate , and pay attention to this , because this is the essential point . you jeopardize a major business investment , carly . i have a lot of money and a fair amount of my reputation invested in `` crimson , `` and i ca n't afford it to tank , and i thought you understood that . carly : i do . jax : no , i really -- no , i really thought that you understood that , but you obviously do n't , so let 's stop going around in circles and figure out a way to get past this , if we even can . carly : no more fights with kate . jax : okay . carly : no more forcing confrontation . i wo n't mess with her wedding or the magazine , and i will do my very best to completely avoid her . jax : wow , you really think you can do that ? carly : i said i would do my very best . jax : okay . okay , well , i will limit my dealings with kate to strictly business . not to imply that i ca n't resist her or anything like that . i 'm just doing this to make you feel more comfortable , okay ? because your feelings to me are more important than anything else . carly : i can accept that . jax : okay . we can do this . carly : i promise you , outside of my kids , there is nothing or no one who is more important to me than you . [ scene_break ] kate : well , that 's not exactly the way it happened , but we do n't need to go into that right now . i 'll -- i 'll give you a call later . thank you . sonny : what happened -- what ? kate : it 's -- it 's amazing . it 's slightly twisted , but there is a buzz about `` crimson `` and a minor media frenzy about me . i have been dubbed the woman who can have it all , according to the tabloids . that means running a business , an affair with a married tycoon , and an engagement to a sexy power broker , which is you . sonny : okay , okay , okay , but you do n't have a problem with people thinking that you had an affair with jax ? kate : it 's ridiculous , but at this point , it might be bad business to disabuse them of that notion . i mean , speculation , keeping them guessing that 's what drives sales through the roof . i think for the sake of `` crimson 's `` bottom line , jax and i need to be seen together . [ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm sorry . you do n't need me dumping all this stuff on you . spinelli : the jackal is here to share any burden , okay ? we 'll find a way out of this , together . maxie : i ca n't believe how safe you make me feel .

[ scene_break ] trevor : anthony , i think lulu has heard enough . anthony : i want her here for this . you disappoint me , john . not for offing logan hayes . i do n't care about him . why did you trust claudia to cover this up ? my son , the light of my life , turns to his trampy sister and this little chippy rather than putting his trust in me . it 's a slap in my face . get the door . lulu : i can not keep doing this . johnny : okay , but do n't do anything . do n't say anything . we need to sit tight and let this play itself out . lulu : this is n't play . logan is dead . his life is over , and -- and everyone is so busy strategizing that nobody seems to care . johnny : do you trust me ? lulu : yes , of course i trust you . johnny : then listen to me . you can not confess anything . you need to put your faith in me . lulu : only if you agree to run away with me . | when mike brings spinelli 's lunch , he quizzes the young man about if sonny might be trying to retake his place in the mob . carly lays down the law ; it 's either the business with kate or her . though he dislikes ultimatum 's , jax agrees to limit contact to just business . mike affirms his trust in kate 's love for his son . anthony summons maxie and makes it clear that if she or lulu betray johnny , especially over the murder , both will die . lulu , however , is on the verge of confessing that she did it . maxie does admit it all to spinelli , and after being questioned by anthony , lulu is ready to run away . |

[ scene_break ] alexis : carly , any custody decision is subject to an appeal . if you lose , which you have n't yet , i would encourage you to demonstrate compliance to the court . carly : what if jax takes josslyn out of the country ? alexis : then you 've got great ammunition for an appeal , and i 'm speaking strictly as an attorney . if jax wins , you need to show the court that you are not only a loving parent but that you will do anything to keep your children safe . carly : which means i have to cut all ties with sonny and jason . alexis : that is an option i would consider , yes . carly : could you do that , knowing what it cost kristina to be away from sonny when she was a little girl ? alexis : kristina may have daddy issues , but at least she 's alive . carly : but think about it , alexis . if ric showed up wanting full custody of molly because it was too dangerous to live here ? alexis : ok . carly : if you ever wanted to see your little girl again , if you ever wanted to be a part of her life , you had to permanently cut all ties with sonny and sam , could you do that ? [ scene_break ] sonny : so , ms. yang , think you can handle this ? grace : i do n't have a choice , do i ? sonny : no , you do n't have a choice , because there is proof you took a low- dollar bribe from jax and a more respectable bribe from me . so if you do n't get results , like i said to you before ... you will lose your license and you may even go to prison . and you know what happens in prison . so , if you do what i want , i will be satisfied , and you will be home free . [ scene_break ] alexis : hi . jax : hi . you want to come in ? alexis : have you heard from the judge ? jax : no , i have not , but , uh , it could n't have gone better for me . alexis : good , then there 's still time for me to try to convince you to please try to find some middle ground . jax : no . we 've already talked about this . alexis : all right , let me run a hypothetical by you , then . and in full disclosure , carly made this point because she was at my doorstep , understandably distraught . jax : well , that does n't surprise me that carly 's pulling out all the stops . she hates to lose . alexis : it 's about her child . it 's not about winning or losing . jax : well , josslyn 's my child , too , you know . so it 's my job to keep her safe , and i think i 've said that a few times . alexis : i understand . and she 's not going to thank you at all for keeping her mother away from her . [ sighs ] i am trying to save you from a lot of pain , but you wo n't listen to me . so i -- jax : fine . i 'll listen . i will listen . please , sit down . it 's not gon na make a lot of difference , because the judge is going to rule in my favor . alexis : it 's never a good idea to be cocky , jax . jax : ok , whatever . what 's carly 's hypothetical ? alexis : what if ric sued me for custody and said that i could n't go near molly unless i cut my ties with sonny and sam ? ah -- she 's family . she 's family , i mean , and she lives with jason . jax : it 's a stretch . alexis : it 's the exact same thing . and i would n't do it . i would do the same thing that carly 's doing . i would fight you tooth and nail . jax : then you 'd lose . alexis : not necessarily . what you 're doing to her is n't fair . [ jax sighs ] alexis : you are a better man than that . where is your compassion ? go for shared custody . do it . go for shared custody . it is the right thing to do . you can work out a compromise . there 's still time . jax : she really got to you , did n't she ? carly can be very persuasive . alexis : she 's right , jax . this time she 's right . jax : let me be very blunt about this , ok ? if molly were our child , i would do exactly the same thing . alexis : you would ask me to cut my ties with sam ? jax : if she were involved with jason , yes , absolutely . i 'm right about this , alexis . there 's no way i 'm backing off .

[ scene_break ] ethan : so maybe i exaggerated a little bit about how much riding experience i had when i applied for the job . but what i did n't know is that it was tradition to put the new bloke on the rankest horse . kristina : [ chuckles ] so , did you get bucked off ? ethan : yes . finally . thankfully . so the guys told me to spur him on , so i did , and he takes off like a rocket , and we jump over a fence and then jump over a ditch , and then we 're running through these trees and he 's at a full gallop , mind you , ok ? and then he comes to a dead stop at a pond . and then he bucks me off . kristina : oh , you did n't land in the water ? ethan : oh , yes , i did . thank god . because i would have broken every bone in my body if i had n't . and then -- then , get me , i swear this is true . he trots over to the water , takes a nice long drink from the pond , and then races all the way back to the ranch , probably looking for carrots or apples or whatever , you know . so i have to walk now , and i walk for hours . we must have galloped for miles . anyway , that was my first day . and it just went downhill from there . kristina : well , this will be different . it 's gorgeous this time of year . there 's a nice trail and rolling hills where the horses like to canter . we wo n't jump anything . we can just go for a nice walk . maybe even a picnic lunch . ethan : ok , i 'm gon na stop you right there . i can see where this is going . a nice setting , a nice quiet ride through the countryside on a summer day in a meadow somewhere . kristina : does n't that sound like fun ? ethan : if you 're this determined to spend time with me , then fine . you win . but it will be on my turf , doing what i do . kristina : sure . ethan : my funds are a little low . i need to refill the coffers . come with me to vegas .

[ scene_break ] luke : tracy , that 's a load of crap . there is nobody in my life that i trust more than you . i had to make some impossible calls because my sons were about to be executed . you would have done the same thing had it been ned and dillon . and as far as dillon goes , if it had been up to me , he would have not been involved at all . tracy : you know what was up to you ? the decision to cut me out and leave me behind . that 's always been the problem between us . you do not see me as your equal . [ scene_break ] paul : so , luke did n't really ditch tracy ? dillon : he did walk out on her , just not for the reasons she thought . the whole time we were in canada , all luke kept talking about was how he could n't wait to get back here and make things right with her . paul : [ scoffs ] dillon : this is a disaster . paul : hey , do n't blame me . it 's not as if your mother and i knew any of this was going on . in fact , none of this would have happened i - if luke had just trusted tracy . dillon : of course , it would n't have . paul : oh , we agree . how nice . dillon : all i 'm saying is my mother is probably kicking herself right now . paul : because she slept with me ? dillon : for sleeping with someone else for all the wrong reasons .

[ scene_break ] lucky : jason has a right to his own life . i ca n't keep the truth from him because it 's convenient for me . nikolas : if that 's your decision , i respect it . lucky : i - i still ca n't believe elizabeth knows and -- and chose not to tell him . nikolas : she does n't want jason to go back to his old life . she wants him with her . lucky : and now they have their son back , even though jason does n't know it . nikolas : look . lucky : [ sighs ] nikolas : lucky , you say you 're too dark and damaged to be a father . i disagree . but if you feel like that you need to leave , then leave . lucky : why ? because ... i do n't have anything to worry about anymore , with elizabeth or my sons ? 'cause they have another father ? that 's what you 're saying , is n't it ? nikolas : [ scoffs ] lucky : they 're a family ? or they will be , they just need some time ? jason can finally be the man that elizabeth always wanted him to be . nikolas : he can if he does n't remember that he 's jason . lucky : yeah , but what if he does ? what if wakes up one morning and realizes that his whole life is built on a lie ? i ca n't do that to him . nikolas : i know this is an impossible situation . i - i 'm not telling you this to make it harder on you . i 'm telling you because you 're my brother , and i love you , and i trust you more than i trust myself . if you leave , elizabeth and the boys will have jason . if you stay , they 'll have you . whatever you choose , i know it 'll be right .

[ scene_break ] griffin : my predecessor , dr. drake , left me his patients ' files . in franco 's case , it appears the tumor was -- it was resting on the frontal lobe . valerie : which means ? griffin : it 's the part of the brain that helps us decide right from wrong . uh , it is possible that franco 's tumor could have caused his behavioral problems . i - i 'd like to ... think people can change , or go from -- from good to bad , or -- or in franco 's case , from bad to good . do n't you believe that , too ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what are you talking about ? i do n't have a problem with you . at least i did n't before you trapped me in here . okay , yeah . i was a little upset about the whole jake art - camp thing , but -- franco : elizabeth stop it . hey , cut it out . do n't do that to me , please ? i heard you speaking with epiphany about changing your shifts . i know you do n't want to be here when i 'm here . elizabeth : are you spying on me ? franco : are you avoiding me ? why would you do that ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] franco : what ? you think i would hurt you ? you think i 'm the same guy that i used to be ? elizabeth : no , i do n't think you 're the same guy you used to be . franco : okay , why would you abandon me ? elizabeth : because i do n't trust myself . [ scene_break ] jordan : so , your uncle curtis -- he accused me of lying to you because it was more convenient for me . and maybe he was right . he was , you know ? it was better for me if you did n't know the truth . tj : but our family was based on a lie . jordan : no . baby , please . that does n't mean that the love was n't real , tj . tommy -- he loved you with everything that he had . i could n't take you away from him . i could n't take away the one person that he could love without condition , without compromise . the one person that -- that could love him the same way . tommy was a good man . you know that . and when he found out about shawn and i , our affair ... it literally shattered him . i mean , it ended up killing him . tj : i know . and i did love dad ... with all my heart . and now i can see why you would n't tell him . but , uh ... after he died and when i got older , why did n't you tell me about shawn then ? [ scene_break ] kristina : parker 's married . nothing ever happened between us . molly : but what about your feelings for her ? kristina : what about them ? i 've got a really good thing going with aaron . i mean , it 's fun , it 's easy , and the sex is amazing . i just have to be more careful about talking in my sleep . [ chuckling ] molly : what does that mean ? kristina : [ sighs ] i said parker 's name , and he overheard . molly : did you tell aaron about her ? kristina : i told him everything ... except her gender . molly : well , that 's kind of a big omission . you might want to mention that . kristina : why ? i mean , parker is the only woman that i 've ever been attracted to . maybe it was just a fluke . really , what is there to tell ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : that lawsuit is spencer 's idea . that child wants his day in court . valentin : a small child making baseless accusations . alexis : not so baseless , really . there 's an eyewitness who saw you murder nikolas . valentin : who -- ava jerome ? she saw nikolas and me struggling for a gun . she heard the gun go off , and she saw nikolas dive out a window . she ca n't say that i shot him intentionally . she ca n't even definitively say that he 's dead . alexis : that 's not the story that she tells . in fact , she signed an affidavit saying she saw you murder nikolas . so i think she 'll make a very compelling witness . i also think that spencer will make a compelling witness , because he 's very articulate , and he will have no trouble getting the jury to see his side . and who knows ? if the verdict is big enough , you might just have to sell that estate daddy left you to pay for it . [ scene_break ] ava : to what do i owe this pleasure ? spencer : you were the last person to spend time with my father , so seeing you helps me to feel closer to him . and i thought that you 'd like to know that i am pursuing a civil suit against his murderer . ava : are you ? spencer : one that i wo n't be able to pursue without your help . you can help tell my father 's story , since ... obviously , he ca n't . ava : do you know what i would tell that jury ? do you know what i would swear under oath ? that your father was kind and brave ... that he was killed while defending me ... that he died a hero . [ scene_break ] sonny : are you telling me that ava 's not gon na be charged for driving morgan to a breakdown , tampering with his sanity ? come on ! dante : i hate this as much as you do . you know that , right ? i want ava tried . i want the whole world to know what she did to morgan . but the worst thing we could do is go to trial with insufficient evidence . that means she gets acquitted and double jeopardy applies . if new evidence does arise , then we can charge her . sonny : what are the odds of that happening ? dante : i do n't know . i do n't know . sonny : well , then ... dante : it 's still a possibility , okay ? in the meantime , she 's got to live with the burns she caused to herself . sonny : [ groans ] dante : and she has to remember what she did to morgan . sonny : that 's not enough . ava took morgan 's pills , watched as he spiraled so out of control that he stole julian 's car , and he died ! dante : i want justice for morgan . and i know you want justice for morgan . but as hard as this is , we 've both got to let this go .

[ scene_break ] jason : i told leticia just to call us if he had a nightmare . courtney : they 're awful . michael wakes up screaming and calling for carly . i try to hold him and rock him back to sleep , and he keeps asking , `` where 's mommy ? `` over and over . jason : i know -- i know you ca n't give him an answer . in some ways , it 's got to be a lot harder than anything . courtney : yeah , i guess . michael is n't any better at waiting than i am . you know , carly tried to teach me . she told me to always stay patient . yeah . and concentrate on the small things and never jump in with a plan that will make everything worse . i know . jason : carly never does that . courtney : yeah . no , i guess she was just trying to give me the benefit of her hard - won experience . and neither one of us thought i 'd be waiting to hear what happened to her . jason : hey , carly 's going to be ok . she 's going to hold on until we find her . she will . [ scene_break ] carly : you look like hell . is guilt finally getting to you ? ric : do n't . do n't start , ok ? i 'm not in the mood . carly : no , i understand why , since you 're responsible for what happened to elizabeth tonight . ric : eat your dinner . carly : do you know that pulmonary embolisms can be a direct result of hormones ? which you 've been -- ric : shut up ! carly : feeding to elizabeth -- ric : shut up ! carly : all this time ! you know , i find it so ironic , ric . here you love her so much , and you devise this extraordinary plan to give her my child , and now , because of your genius , she may die . [ scene_break ] faith : what are you doing ? do n't manhandle me . i was adjusting her pillow . she looked uncomfortable . sonny : you were adjusting her pillow , huh ? faith : mm - hmm . sonny : by putting it over her face ? you have a hell of a way of seducing a man . like trying to kill his wife and coming on to his brother . faith : oh , please , do n't flatter yourself . i only came on to you to spice up a really dreary job . living with you is like trying to have a picnic on siberian tundra . sonny : really ? well , i guess i 'm not inspired . faith : well , you still have to keep your end of the bargain , do n't you ? sonny : you know what ? forget the deal . you got to listen to me . you , no doubt , are the woman that ric deserves . ok ? but i got nothing to do with that . you 're going to stay away from elizabeth . all right ? her sudden , unexplained death is not something you want to be part of . do you get what i 'm saying ? faith : perfectly . sonny : perfectly ? faith : mm - hmm . sonny : you get it ? yeah , good . take off . sonny : hey . elizabeth . i do n't know if you can hear me or not . but what put you here ? is there something going on in that house ?

[ scene_break ] courtney : do you think that we 'd be together if it were n't for carly playing matchmaker ? jason : yeah . courtney : so do i . but do n't tell carly that . she likes to take credit for everything . jason : yeah , i know . you remember that first night that you had me over for dinner ? and you spilled whatever on me , you know ? carly -- you know , she kept giving me this lecture on how it was a date and do this and do that . and i did n't want to hear about it . because i was trying not to let myself care about you . trying not to let you matter more than anything . so i waited to tell you how i felt . i waited to believe it was real . i was fighting myself . and it was wrong . it was just a waste of time . because anything can happen at any time . and what matters is who you love and if you say it and if you show it . and i love you . [ scene_break ] ric : the hell with you . i love elizabeth . carly : does n't matter . because when elizabeth wakes up , she is going to go to the cops . she 's going to tell them . they 're going to come here , they 're going to find me , they 're going to arrest you -- if sonny does n't kill you first . do n't you realize that this is out of control , ric , and elizabeth is paying the price ? ric : stop saying that . carly : you have to decide , ric -- what is more important , revenge on sonny or saving elizabeth 's life ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you and i used to be friends , elizabeth . you trusted me . and then you hooked up with ric . just got mixed up with the wrong guy this time . well , maybe i should n't say that so easily because everybody tells carly the same thing about me . she did n't get herself kidnapped . somebody took her to hurt me .

alexis : you 're probably wondering about skye quartermaine 's appeal , and i want you to know -- ric : well , i wo n't undo a postponement . alexis : and why would i want one ? ric : my god , alexis , lila quartermaine just passed away , kristina 's great- grandmother . i would think that you would want to take some time off so that kristina could be with her family at this time . [ scene_break ] edward : something you need ? brook lynn : oh , i was just going to get a vase to put these flowers in . i -- i thought they -- i do n't know , i thought they might help or something . maybe it 's too simplistic . edward : no . it 's terribly thoughtful of you . roses were lila 's favorite flower .

[ scene_break ] emily : hey . jason : hey . emily : thanks for meeting me . jason : oh , you knew i would . are you ok ? emily : i miss grandmother . i 'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that she 's gone . jason : i know . me , too . emily : i want to do something that grandmother would want , and that means taking care of the family . the only catch is i 'll need your help . jason : emily , i loved lila , and i want to help you , god knows , in any way that i can . but when it comes to the family , there 's just not a whole lot that i can do . i went to the house . i 'll be at the funeral . i can share the quartermaines ' pain and loss because i feel it . but as far as being some kind of comfort to them , i do n't even know how to do that . emily : all you have to do is show up , jase . i 'm not asking you to move in . just be a presence in their lives . everyone knows grandmother 's the only reason you ever went near that house or had a civil word to say to any one of them , and now she 's gone . and they 've not only lost the heart and soul of our family , they 've lost their last connection to you . and it scares them , jase , whether they burden you with that fear or not . please , just stay in touch . that 's all i 'm asking . jason : you 're the one i 'm worried about . you and lila were so close . you have your own pain to work through . do n't get so caught up in taking care of everybody else that you forget to take care of yourself . emily : you do n't get it . i have you to come to , to lean on . that 's so much more than the rest of them have . [ scene_break ] courtney : tracy , i had n't heard . i 'm so sorry . tracy : you are sorry . thank god jason finally mustered up the courage to divorce you . and my mother could live out the last months her life with the comfort and satisfaction of knowing that you were no longer a part of her family . courtney : well , i guess i should n't be surprised that you would express your pain through anger . but i loved lila , ok , and i respected her . so i will honor her right now by making allowances for her daughter . tracy : clearly you mistook good breeding and impeccable manners for affection . you were inconsequential to my mother as you are to me .

[ scene_break ] brook lynn : one of the things that i remember about coming here when i was little is that she always used to have fresh - cut roses everywhere , you know ? and her dresses , the long ones that she wore -- always pink and blue . she was beautiful . she -- she told me that she 'd teach me how to do needlepoint . i wish we 'd done that . edward : so do i , sweetheart . brook lynn : anyway -- lois : hey , mr. q , i brought you some roses . now all i need is one of lila 's gorgeous vases . well , looks like someone beat me to it . [ scene_break ] alexis : not that this is remotely any of your business , but i happen to hold lila quartermaine in the highest regard . however , my daughter barely knew her . my daughter is a child . i do n't think it would be appropriate for her to be exposed to grieving strangers . ric : well , the only reason that kristina is a stranger to the quartermaines is because that 's the way you seem to want it . and i 've never really understood that . yeah , true , the quartermaines leave a lot to be desired in the family lottery , but they 're no better or worse than any family that i can see . i mean , at least they 're not dangerous , right ? ned , in particular -- he seems to be completely unobjectionable . he 's a successful businessman . as far as i can see , he strikes me as a potentially loving father if you give him half a chance . alexis : your speculation into my domestic arrangement is not only a personal violation of my privacy , but it is a breach of professional ethics , and i will never be too busy in any day to file a complaint with the bar association . ric : whoa , whoa ! please -- please explain to me what you find so reprehensible about my belief that kristina 's family should be able to see her from time to time , once in a blue moon , even . look , you just said that lila quartermaine was a beloved and admired woman . now , what if kristina finds out about her one day , and she also finds out that you kept her from this woman who was so amazing that was her great - grandmother ? alexis : i 'm not worried . i do n't know why you are . kristina has all the family she needs . ric : do n't be so sure . [ scene_break ] lois : guess you and i had the same idea . brook lynn : like you said , great minds and all . anyway , i just -- i came to bring the flowers . but my mom 's here , so she can arrange them for you . edward : thank you for thinking of me . brook lynn : sure . lois : honey , why do you feel like you have to leave just because i showed up ? brook lynn : mom , it 's not that , all right ? it 's just i have a thousand things to do . bye . edward : brook lynn , wait a minute . this was one of lila 's favorites . i 'd think she 'd want you to have it . i know i do . brook lynn : thank you . i 'll keep it forever . bye , mom . lois : bye , honey . mr. q , i spoke to home last night . the cerullos -- they send their condolences . they really loved and admired lila . so did i , of course . edward : really ? lois : you have to ask ? edward : why was it such an effort for you to let lila see her great- granddaughter , then ? lois : because i 'm a stupid idiot . and because i made the mistake of assuming that lila would always be around , and i would have time to visit and reconnect and bring her roses and ask her advice . but most importantly , that my daughter , brook lynn , would get the chance to know the amazing woman who was her great - grandma . and now the clock has run out , and i 'm not going to get that chance . and worse , because of the stupid choices i made , neither is my daughter . and i deeply regret that . edward : i lived my entire adult life with lila . i loved her with all my heart . i made the exact same mistake . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : em , i am so sorry to hear about lila . is there anything at all i can do for you ? emily : no . have a seat . that 's the hardest part . it 's irretrievable , and there 's absolutely nothing anyone can do but feel her loss and wish that there was something or anything that they could do to pay appropriate tribute to who grandmother was and what she left behind . bobbie : i realize that a piece of chocolate cake is not the same as donating thousands to a worthy cause in lila 's name , but it is a treat to be savored -- emily : oh . bobbie : and lila liked those . emily : yes , she did . thank you , bobbie . do you want to have a seat ? bobbie : oh , thanks . well , hope you 're prepared because you got your work cut out for you . emily : how do i know that you 're referring to my family ? bobbie : i 've watched lila hold the quartermaines together for decades . and i watched her train you to do the same . the mantle has passed . elizabeth : jeez , no pressure or anything . bobbie : managing your family takes strength , patience , and a fierce sense of humor , and it also comes in handy if you 're able to convince people to do things they do n't want to do . emily : like getting jason to let the family stay at michael 's baptism ? bobbie : oh , when those church doors opened and the entire quartermaine contingent came storming down the aisle , i thought i would die . emily : jason was ready to throw them all out . lila : jason , dear , no one can argue with your decision to exclude us . it has good sense and painful experience on its side . but if this ceremony is allowed to go on without incident , in silence , and uninterrupted , would you consider throwing us out a little later , please ? emily : even i could n't believe it when grandmother got jason to back down . bobbie : gentle persuasion -- that was lila 's special gift . and she mastered it . now she 's passed it on to you . so use it wisely , emily . do what lila would 've wanted . [ scene_break ] courtney : jason . i -- i heard about lila . i 'm so sorry . jason : you know she was in pain almost all the time ? courtney : no , i had no idea . jason : most people did n't . she never complained . courtney : but you knew . jason : yeah , i knew . you know , at least she does n't have to hurt anymore . she does n't have to wonder about the choices she made . she finally understands what her life was about . it 's the people who are left behind who have to struggle . you know , grandmother never made me feel guilty for staying away , but she missed me . i know how bad that hurts because i can feel how much i miss her . [ scene_break ] emily : hi . monica : oh , great ! a distraction . emily : what are you doing ? monica : i 'm -- i 'm trying to write lila 's obituary , and i am failing miserably . i mean , it should be easy , right ? just a list -- where she was born , where she grew up , all her children , clubs she belonged to , charities she supported . i mean , it 's -- it 's an entire life that 's condensed into a couple of paragraphs that are fitting into the `` port charles herald . `` it does n't even begin to describe her . emily : do n't even put that pressure on yourself , mom . everyone who knew and loved grandmother knows that she defies description . and besides , she could n't stand obituaries . she called them posthumous bragging . i 'm inclined to agree . monica : you and lila discussed obituaries ? emily : yeah . i do n't think there was anything we did n't cover over the years . monica : you want to know something i have n't -- i have n't told anybody ? emily : sure . monica : i was so jealous of your relationship with lila . i wanted to be your role model . i wanted to be the woman that you came to with your deepest feelings . and now all i can do is just thank god that you had the benefit of her grace and her wisdom for as long as you did . alan : hi . monica : hi . alan : hi . emily : hi . alan : you 're staying home today , are you ? monica : she 's hovering . emily : oh , not true . it helps me to be with my parents . alan : really ? i think you realize how much it helps us to be with you . you 're such a comfort , sweetie . i wish i could be the same for my own father .

[ scene_break ] faith : i 've been looking for you . justus : not now , faith . faith : i 'm interested in changing attorneys . alexis may be competent , but she 's way too neurotic for me . and for obvious reasons , she is -- justus : this is a really bad time to revive our , what you call , scary version of flirtation . i have things on my mind that are far more important . faith : big case ? justus : unexpected death . faith : oh , well , my hand on the bible , mr . officer of the court , i had absolutely nothing to do with the unexpected demise of -- um -- who ? justus : lila quartermaine . one of the finest people who ever drew breath . she was kind , courageous , compassionate . i could sing her praises all day long , but just suffice to say she was the complete antithesis of you . faith : yeah . i may be cold , some might even say heartless , but i can see that you 're hurting , and i am sorry for that . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , this is the first time you 've called me without using the foundation as an excuse to see me , which is a sign that you 're weakening , but i wo n't turn it to my advantage -- at least , not yet , anyway . courtney : i can see by your mood that you have n't heard the news . jax : and i can see by yours it 's not very good news . courtney : lila quartermaine died . she went peacefully in her sleep . jax : damn it .

[ scene_break ] felicia : i tried to structure the book in chronological order , and i kept finding myself going back to the place where she described meeting you . it was such a vivid memory for her . she just made it come alive -- a garden party on a perfect day in long island , the green lawn rolling down to meet the sea , the boat docks and the tennis courts in the distance , the brick terrace , and all the beautiful flowers in the spring in bloom . she said all the women were dressed in pastels and silk , and the men wore their summer suits . she was laughing with a friend , and then she turned around and there you were , staring right at her . edward : she took my breath away . i never quite got it back . felicia : she was forever grateful that she chose to wear the color blue on that day because that was the first thing that you said to her -- she was wearing your most favorite color . edward , i brought these memoirs for you today because i know that lila wants you to remember that garden party and all the wonderful times that you had together . in the end , all that matters is the love , and you and lila had that . it 's the best love story i ever heard . [ scene_break ] jax : how many times did i think about calling her ? how many times did i think about just dropping by to -- to say hello ? and every time -- every single time i let myself be diverted . i mean , what was so damn important that i could n't take a minute to honor one of the most gracious women i 've ever known ? courtney : jax , you ca n't beat yourself up . jax : why not ? i knew that lila 's health was fragile , that every morning she woke up was a blessing , not a given . why could n't i have been there ? courtney : who 's this really about , jax ? lila or your father ? you 've told me how close you were to your father , how much you admired him , and , hey , it 's been less than a year since he 's been gone . i mean , you would n't be human if you did n't have regrets . jax : you know , my father went from this strong , vigorous man to a virtual invalid within less than six months . i mean , i 'd call , but not often enough . i did n't get to see him until the very end . courtney : jax , you did n't know how bad it was . you told me yourself . jax : no , no , no . no , do n't make excuses for me . i -- i should 've known , you know , that in the real world -- not the fantasy world that i live in , but in the real world -- people , they get older and they get sick . then eventually they just run out of time . and now that 's -- that 's happened again . i -- i did n't pay attention , and now someone else that i love is -- is gone . courtney : i 'm sorry . jax : oh , i miss him . i miss him so much .

[ scene_break ] jax : apparently , if elizabeth gives birth to my child while she 's married to another man , the courts wo n't recognize my rights as the biological father . elizabeth : and if we just wait to get married until after the baby 's born , then jax can be legally recorded as the baby 's father . lucky : what , and if we do n't ? jax : then the birth mother 's husband is listed on the birth certificate . which means i would have to adopt my own child after it 's born . lucky : you know what ? that does n't make a lot of sense . jax : i know , but that 's the law . that 's why i 'm trying to avoid any complications . lucky : well , it 's going to kind of mess things up for us . elizabeth : no , not really . i mean , people have long engagements all the time . and what are we talking here , a year ? jax : look , lucky , we may all be sitting around the campfire now holding hands , but things happen , you know ? could be complications . if for some reason you decide not to sign the adoption papers -- elizabeth : wait , wait , wait . why would he do that ? jax : i 'm just pointing out that -- lucky : he 's pointing out that i actually have a say in what 's going on here . elizabeth : but there 's not going to be a problem , right , lucky ? lucky : hang on . i need to think about this . jax : oh , really ? that 's -- that 's funny because maybe you already have . elizabeth : what is that supposed to mean , jax ? jax : well , it 's just interesting timing that lucky proposed when he did . i 'm just , you know , throwing this out there , but maybe this is less about elizabeth and setting a date , and this is more about you wanting to stick it to me .

[ scene_break ] brad : i was n't trying to make a point to lucas . i did n't even know he was gon na be there . felix : [ chuckles ] clearly . brad : i kissed you in the locker room to make a point to you about lucas . because lucas and i have passion . you and lucas absolutely , utterly , so definitely do not . felix : and because of your overwhelming need to demonstrate your passion for lucas to me while i was naked in the shower , lucas , very reasonably , albeit incorrectly , assumed that something was going on between us , which would imply that you did n't have any interest in him . hmm . brad : and you did nothing to disabuse him of that impression . felix : okay . let me make this clearer for you . i was naked . what did you want me to do , hmm ? brad , you want me to chase after him down the hallway , wet and dripping with no clothes on ? brad : you could have said something before he stormed out . but you did n't . so this entire disaster is your fault . felix : okay . now you lost me . brad : [ chuckles ] before lucas spied our lip lock and leapt to the wrong conclusion , he was on his way to talk to the person he wanted to be with . felix : i remember . brad : well , i think it 's obvious who he was talking about . felix : completely . both : me . [ scene_break ] dante : maxie , look , i 'd love to help you , but i did n't make any phone calls . mac : neither did i . maxie : well , according to nathan , it was one of you two . lulu : maxie , are you sure that nathan was accusing mac and dante ? i mean , maybe you misinterpreted something he said . maxie : [ scoffs ] nathan : mac , did you get my voicemail ? mac : no . not yet . what 's it about ? levi : probably just some more lies from one of port charles ' finest . mac : i could call immigration right now . maxie : i told them exactly what you told me . one of them called immigration on levi . but they both deny it . so if it was n't dante and it was n't mac , we 're back to you , nathan . [ scene_break ] julian : [ chuckles ] you did that on purpose , did n't you ? lucas : no , not consciously . look ... you do n't want to talk about it . that 's fine . julian : no , no . now i feel like you 've challenged me as a father , so there 's no way i 'm backing down now .

[ scene_break ] felix : lucas was gon na pick you ? brad : obviously . felix : no . obviously , lucas was going to choose me . brad : have you been dipping into the drug lockup ? lucas wants to be with me . felix : why would he even ? you are completely untrustworthy . brad : trust is overrated . felix : oh , yay ! now i know what to put on your tombstone . brad : mystery is what keeps passion alive . and lucas and i have got more passion than we know what to do with . felix : then enjoy it while it lasts , because sooner or later , you 're gon na roll out of bed and argue over who 's gon na take out the garbage . passion fades . and you do n't have what it takes to build a relationship . brad : [ scoffs ] a - a - and you do ? you have n't got the first clue about relationships considering you 've always been too afraid to have one . okay , wait a minute . what are we arguing about ? you admitted that you lied about dating him . i heard you just tell him that you thought that you guys were friends . you obviously do n't want lucas . felix : how would you know what i want ? brad : are you telling me that you do want lucas ? felix : maybe i do . [ scene_break ] franco : i told you i lost my temper . i went to see michael on an impulse , okay ? it was a bad impulse . it was an impulse that i will never follow again . carly : i know that , okay ? i - i accepted your apology . i said i forgave you . but let 's be honest . if -- if i would have showed up 30 seconds later , you would have told michael everything , and it would have destroyed my family . franco : no , because i promised you that i would never tell michael because i value my relationship with you because i - i respect the relationship that you have with michael . i would n't do anything to try and hurt that . carly : i know . i know you told me that . franco : and then you turn around and you tell sonny . carly : i did n't exactly volunteer the information . franco : well , somehow he found out . carly : you know , because of that fight you had with sonny in the park , he was concerned , okay , that -- that you might retaliate and run and tell michael everything , so he came here to talk to me about you . franco : and you what ? you just told him , `` oh , no . do n't worry about it . franco already tried to tell michael , and he -- he could n't do it . `` carly : no , i did n't . but you know what ? i should have . franco : really ? carly : yes , i should have . i should have volunteered to tell sonny the truth , because sonny is michael 's father , and he deserved to know . but instead i protected you , and i stayed quiet . franco : until you did n't . carly : sonny knew i was keeping something from him , okay ? he -- he knows me too well . franco : clearly . i 'm starting to wonder if i ever knew you at all . [ scene_break ] sonny : sorry i 'm late . i got caught up with carly . shawn : everything okay ? sonny : she 's the most stubborn woman in the world . and it 's worse when she knows she should n't do something and she does it anyway . there 's only one person who could talk to her , and not me . shawn : [ chuckles ] sounds like you could use a drink . sonny : hell , yes .

[ scene_break ] brad : you want lucas ? since when ? felix : look , i ca n't give you a timetable . but we 've been hanging out , and when you raised the question , i realized maybe i do want lucas . i mean , we have a lot in common , and we have a good time together . brad : no . you do n't . lucas and i have things in common . we have a good time together . felix : no , you had a good time together . past tense . brad : yeah , well , lucas is pissed at both of us . present tense . he thinks we got together behind his back . felix : yeah , because of that stunt you pulled in the shower . let 's face it . the guy in `` psycho `` did less damage . brad : okay , in retrospect ... [ sighs ] kissing you to make my point about my passion for lucas was not the smartest move . felix : look , the fact is , it does n't matter who did what now . lucas is officially a lost cause . we 're wasting our time arguing over him . brad : [ sighs ] i could use a drink . felix : so do i . [ elevator dings ] brad : get one together ? misery loves company , right ? felix : why not ? ooh ! with any luck , i might forget who i 'm sitting next to . you 're buying . [ scene_break ] lucas : okay , so , i should say that this was not a simple choice . ever since the night i got shot , from which i have fully recovered , felix has been really great . he 's funny , he 's caring , i mean , we have a really good time together , you know ? julian : sounds promising . lucas : yeah , and brad , on the other hand -- let 's just say he and i have , uh , significant chemistry . julian : oh , chemistry . trust me , i know all about chemistry . you know , when , um , alexis and i are together , it takes all my willpower not to rip her clothes off . lucas : okay , whoa . i do n't need to know all the details . julian : oh , i see . so now you know how i feel . lucas : yeah . touché . julian : [ chuckles ] all right , so , you and felix have a good time together , but you and brad ... lucas : oh , we have a good time together . julian : mm - hmm . you still have n't answered my question . which one did you choose ? lucas : okay , i 'll tell you . [ scene_break ] olivia : well , it 's a good thing you 're sleeping , sweetheart , 'cause whatever 's going on over there with your aunt maxie -- it does n't look pretty . [ scene_break ] nathan : mac , dante , look , i did n't mean to throw anybody under the bus , all right ? maxie had asked me who i 'd spoken to about levi 's immigration problem . dante , i said i 'd mentioned it to you , but i never said you made the call . dante : no harm , no foul . nathan : mac , and then your name came up , and i said that we had talked , and you 'd said something about levi getting deported . but i said you did n't actually mean it . mac : i already assured maxie i did n't call immigration . not that i was n't tempted . maxie : [ scoffs ] nathan : anyways , i apologize for dragging you into this . mac : hey , apology accepted . want a beer ? lulu : that 's a great idea . as a matter of fact , why do n't we all have a drink and cool down ? dante : mm - hmm . levi : well , wait a minute . are n't you all forgetting that i 'm facing a one - way ticket back to australia ? mac : australia is lovely this time of year . levi : yeah , and as much as i love my indigenous flora and fauna , i love maxie more . nathan : look , i did not call immigration on you . i do n't know how many more times i need to say this . levi : oh , i think you 've said it enough . but if you really did n't call immigration , you would n't mind if we checked your phone , would you ? [ scene_break ] shawn : jordan said she was here for a meeting , and then this guy shows up . sonny : you think he 's connected ? shawn : well ... he 's a five - dollar hood in a thousand - dollar suit and carrying a piece . i do n't think he 's here to talk about art . sonny : is there something going on between you and jordan ? shawn : come on , man . no . she -- she 's tj 's mom . i 'm just concerned that she 's getting in too deep . that 's all . sonny : whatever you say . shawn : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] mickey : it seems your friend has a temper where you 're concerned . are you two involved ? jordan : definitely not . we 're just friends . mickey : hmm . well , it pleases me to no end to hear that . but , uh , encounters like that tend to , uh , kill my appetite . [ chuckles ] why do n't we go somewhere more private for dessert ? jordan : well , it is a beautiful night . we could , um -- we could go out on the terrace . mickey : actually , i 'm staying here . i was thinking we could head back to my room . [ scene_break ] shawn : i think we 've said all there is to say about jordan for one night . sonny : all right . that 's not why you 're here anyway . i need you to help me with a problem . shawn : of course . what is it ? sonny : franco . he knows too much . [ scene_break ] franco : you 're right . we ca n't let sonny come between us . carly : mnh - mnh . franco : not gon na let that guy win . carly : win ? well , that sounds funny . it 's like i 'm the bonus prize in the popcorn box . franco : cut it out . that 's not what i meant . you know that 's -- carly : it 's okay . i love popcorn . are we good ? franco : yeah , we 're good . [ scene_break ] lucas : sorry , it 's just -- this is the first time i 'm actually saying this out loud to anyone . julian : fair enough . i 'm all ears . lucas : well , the guy i did choose was ... felix and brad . julian : you picked them both ? lucas : no , they just walked in together . brad : lucas , what are you doing here ? lucas : i could ask you the same question . i guess you worked up quite a thirst in the shower . julian : [ clears throat ] brad : no , no , no , no , no , no . you do n't understand . lucas : oh , no . i think it probably do understand . it 's not what it looks like , right ? [ scene_break ] olivia : a big part of being a good grandma , rocco , is knowing when to keep your opinions to yourself . i 'm just saying , if i had to pick between the , uh , australian flip - flop dude and the cop with the gigantic muscles , i know who i 'd prefer . [ scene_break ] levi : prove you did n't turn me in . let us see your phone . nathan : i am not giving you my phone . levi : too bad , because that means he 's got something to hide . maxie : do you , nathan ? nathan : fine . all right . check for yourself . maxie : thank you . all right . recent calls ... pcpd , pcpd , nina , britt ... what 's this number ? nathan : what number ? maxie : it 's an 800 number . nathan : i do n't remember dialing an 800 number , not even for work . maxie : you made this phone call right after levi told us about his visa . levi : dial it back , maxie . see who answers . woman : department of immigration . how may i direct your call ? [ scene_break ] franco : i got to finger paint with a bunch of kids , and nobody screamed or called the cops . it was awesome . carly : [ laughs ] franco : and i do n't see why everybody 's so bent out of shape about dr. obrecht . she seems perfectly friendly to me . carly : uh , maybe because she , um , stole my cousin 's embryos and implanted one in her daughter and then used the other one to weasel her way out of a billion felony charges . franco : i guess it 's just a question of scale . 'cause to me , she seems like a perfectly functioning member of society . not like my mother , who kidnapped you , tried to kill you . carly : can we not talk about her ? heather did her worst , and she failed . and look at us now . we 're living together , we 're having a fine pinot noir , and we 're eating frozen pizza . i mean , life is good . franco : life is good . and it 's gon na stay that way . carly : yeah . franco : provided sonny does n't kill me 'cause i know too much . [ scene_break ] sonny : i want franco dead . and i want to tell you to make it happen , but i -- for whatever reason , carly thinks she 's in love with this son of a bitch . so i feel like i owe her . i do n't want to go against her . not yet . shawn : yet ? sonny : franco 's elimination is not off the table . [ scene_break ] jordan : as tempting as a trip to your room may be , um , i think it 's best we just ... keep things professional . mickey : [ chuckles ] i appreciate your ... concern with the business . but if you really want to move up in the world , it 's in your best interest to keep me happy . [ scene_break ] brad : look , i know i really screwed up , but this is n't -- lucas : save it . let 's get out of here . julian : [ clears throat ] um ... lucas : would n't want to interrupt your date . brad : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie , i need you to listen to me . maxie : how could you do this ? lulu : wait , maxie . do n't jump to conclusions . maxie : i 'm not jumping to any conclusions . nathan reported levi to immigration . we just found proof on his phone . nathan : i do n't know how the number got in my phone . maxie : i ca n't believe you 're still denying it . lulu : i still have a hard time believing that nathan would do this . dante : so do i . maxie : well , believe it . we just heard the proof . nathan : maxie , if i had actually called immigration on levi , why would n't i delete the number before -- maxie : not one more word . you just keep lying to me ! i turned on mac and dante because you 're covering your own tracks . nathan : maxie , just listen . we can go over this again . we can figure this out . maxie : i 've heard enough . do n't worry , levi . nathan is not gon na get away with this . | levi accuses nathan of calling immigration on him . nathan says levi probably made the call himself since anonymous calls are his m.o . maxie is at the floating rib accusing mac and dante of calling immigration . they deny it . levi and nathan find maxie at the floating rib . maxie tells nathan that he is back to being her prime suspect . levi asks to check nathan 's phone log , which happens to have the immigration number on it . nathan does n't know why it is there . maxie believes nathan reported levi . dante and lulu do n't think so . at a nearby table , julian wonders what choice lulu asked lucas about . lucas tells him about felix and brad . brad accuses felix of messing things up for him and lucas . each of them thinks he would have been lucas ' choice if he had not seen them kissing each other . after a hard day at work , felix & brad go to the floating rib for a drink , only to have lucas come to the wrong conclusion again when he sees them together . |
kiki : hi , michael . i 'm sorry to just stop by like this . is there a chance that i could talk to you ? michael : sure . kiki : i heard about the takeover at elq . that -- that really sucks . michael : yeah , it does suck , but i 'm sure that 's not why you 're here . kiki : no . actually , i 'm here to ask you for your help with my aunt denise .

[ laughs ] no thanks . not for nothing . the last time you asked alexis to represent me , i ended up in jail anyhow . julian : yeah , well , this time is different . alexis could petition for visitation . you know , as avery 's aunt , you might have a valid claim . denise : who knows how long it would take for this to play out in court . and sonny 's not exactly a law and order kind of guy . julian : oh , so you 're giving up ? denise : oh , no , i 'm not . no , i have something else in mind for sonny corinthos . julian : mm , and that would be ?

[ laughs ] and he also happens to be a very famous artist . julian : yes . also a very famous killer . franco : alleged killer . not even , you know , after the acquittal , you 're not even alleged anymore . denise : that was performance art . and the media , they turned it into something ugly to sell papers . well , now , you would know something about that , right , julian ? julian : hmm . denise : i know what it 's like to be misunderstood . franco : denise sees the real me , and i see the real denise . julian : so , how exactly did you two find each other ? denise : kismet . franco got dumped , and i was there to pick up all the little pieces . [ scene_break ] ric : do n't worry about it , madeline . by the time i work my way through the legal system and help free up her inheritance , she 's gon na be in shadybrook . well , they 're gon na give the money to me . i 'm her husband . yeah . yes , of course , of course . per our agreement , i 'll make sure that i share it with you . how am i getting her to lose her mind ? it 's pretty simple . nina has an achilles heel , that 's motherhood or lack thereof . just merely exploiting that weakness . [ scene_break ] denise : the love of franco 's life married another man . franco : yeah , i 'm on the rebound . pretty much any warm body will do . denise : and yet , you feel very lucky to have me , do n't you ? franco : right now , i feel like i won the lottery . give me some sugar . julian : oh , oh , oh . i do n't know how i 'm gon na unsee that . i need a shower . franco : mm . [ smooches ] denise : what are you doing here ? i told you to meet me at kelly 's later . ca n't talk to you here . julian can not know that i 'm ava . franco : all right , look , it 's not exactly an honor keeping your secret . i 'm only doing this to show nina what she 's missing . ava : i know that . you 've made that perfectly clear , thank you . franco : i 'm not sure why you chose me to be the one you -- you share your secret identity with . you still got the hots for me , do n't you ? ava : no . franco : yeah , you do . ava : no , i do n't . i do n't . franco : handsy with me before . look at that . ava : i told you because you can help me . yeah , you said that , but how can i help you get face time with your baby ? franco : well , because your father happens to be the district attorney . [ scene_break ] scott : `` back in charge ? `` i 'll show you who 's in charge . jordan : i see you started your day the same way i did . nothing like reading an official announcement that sonny corinthos is back in the game . scott : well , i got a little newsflash for you . he never left the game . jordan : oh , i know . and i intend to put that bastard away . [ scene_break ] sonny : carly , the only reason i stepped back from my business was because i wanted to get custody of this little girl , and now she 's home . i got to get back to work . i mean , you know , i got no choice . duke is dead . i ca n't trust , you know , my business to anybody else . carly : is there gon na be trouble ? sonny : well , there 's always competition , you know , but even though julian says he retired . carly : okay , well , taking the front page of his newspaper to announce your comeback is n't exactly subtle . sonny : i do n't believe he 's out . julian knows there 's other players who are just waiting to take his territory . and what he 's gon na do , he 's gon na let them come to me first . once we fight to a standstill , then julian 's gon na try to take what he wants . carly : it sounds really dangerous for you . sonny : okay , it is , but i can handle it . [ avery cooing ] carly : i hope so . carly : yeah . are you gon na go `` alexis `` on me , or are you gon na be cool ? [ scene_break ] jordan : you know my son 's living with that criminal ? scott : why is he living at that mob house ? jordan : well , tj blames me for sending shawn to prison . i 've got mayor lomax , who 's so spooked about the appearance of favoritism that she insisted on throwing the book at tj , even though the charge was bogus . you know , i 'm the police commissioner , and i could n't even intercede for my own son . scott : so , tj was just ripe for the picking , huh ? jordan : oh , yeah . sonny convinced him to move into his house . scott : benevolent . corinthos , he plays that card well . jordan : i do n't want my one and only son getting sucked into sonny 's world . it could destroy him . scott : well , it destroyed my daughter . [ scene_break ] franco : what does my father have to do with you spending time with your kid ? ava : before i escaped from pentonville and supposedly died , scott was preparing to prosecute me for the murder of connie falconeri . franco : yeah , i know . he was all over you because you killed her . ava : if he knows i 'm ava , he 'll lock me up until he can try me . franco : so , what do you want me to do ? say `` pretty please `` ? i do n't have that kind of influence over scott . i 'm not exactly a model son . ava : and yet , here you are , free as a bird , despite taking carly and many others hostage and threatening to blow them up . tell me that daddy did n't have a little hand in that . franco : he might have , but i 'm his flesh and blood . for regular , run - of - the- mill criminals , he likes to go after them . he 's not gon na back off just because i ask him to . ava : well , that 's not what i want . franco : good 'cause i ca n't make this murder go away . ava : but you can make the evidence go away . [ scene_break ] silas : so you skip the denials . i know the whole sorry tale about how you ca n't keep your hands off denise . morgan : all right , i do n't know what rosalie told you about the day at michael 's office , but she obviously has it all wrong , because there 's nothing going on between me and denise . i mean , come on , dr. clay . you got to look at the source . i mean , you know firsthand that rosalie 's a liar . she played a phony -- a phony nurse to your ex - wife . i mean , you ca n't take her seriously . silas : [ sniffles ] agree . of course , i did n't hear it from rosalie . morgan : but she 's -- she 's -- who fed you this story about me and denise ? silas : that would be denise herself . [ scene_break ] kiki : michael , i know i 'm not in any position to ask anything of you after what morgan and i did , drugging you . it was -- it was horrible , and it was disgusting , and it makes me sick thinking about the fact that we went that far . and really , i would n't blame you if you never wanted to see my face again . so , you know that i would n't be here if i did n't think that this was the only way to persuade sonny . michael : [ sighs ] why is this so important to you ? kiki : because it 's -- it 's important to denise , and she 's all i have left of my mother . michael : you honestly think you can trust your aunt ? kiki : yeah . yeah , i do n't see why not . i mean , she 's been nothing but great to me , and anyone can see she loves avery . michael : yeah , see , that 's the problem . when she was here , she was incredibly clingy with our sister . i mean , incredibly . kiki : yeah , well , she thinks that she 's the closest thing that avery has to a mother . yeah , she can be pushy , but i think she has every right to be in avery 's life . michael : well , look , if it 's that important to you , i 'll talk to sonny . kiki : oh , my god , really ? you will ? that 's -- that is amazing . thank you . michael : i have n't done anything yet . kiki : but you agreed to help , and that 's more than i ever could have hoped for . michael : yeah , well , i 'm gon na do what i can . kiki : thank you . um ... michael ? now that the dust has settled , i ... i want you to know . morgan and i had nothing to do with avery 's kidnapping from general hospital . she really just appeared that day at my dad 's apartment . michael : well , i did n't take aj -- avery either . kiki : i know you did n't . you were desperate to find her when she was gone . michael : i was going out of my mind . yeah . kiki : but if neither of us did it , then who took her ? michael : there 's only one possibility . nina clay . [ scene_break ] ric : coffee ? nina : oh . um ... yeah , thanks . ric : you feeling all right now ? nina : yeah , i 'm fine . ric : here you go . nina : maybe i was dreaming . you know , i fell asleep thinking of my mother and how she made me lose my baby to silas . you know , 'cause i was in a coma for 20 years , i lost my chance of being a mom , and that baby was my only chance at motherhood , and my mom , she took it away . ric : i mean , i ca n't imagine what that 's like , knowing that you can never have a child of your own . nina : my mother took my entire future from me . i ca n't believe that she has the audacity to come back to port charles . ric : yeah , it is monstrous . nina : i 'm shocked that she has n't tried to get in touch with me . ric : maybe madeline 's smart enough to know that she ca n't con you out of your money . nina : right , you know , franco told me that , when he saw her , that she said she was n't interested in my inheritance . ric : i hate to say it , but franco may be right . nina : yeah . um ... are you taking care of that ? are you taking care of the inheritance ? ric : yes , i am . i 'm working on it . and i 'm also making sure that it 's safe from your mother , in case she was lying to franco about wanting your money . nina : my mom has always wanted my money . ric : well , nina , and i 'm gon na make sure that you 're taken care of , okay ? hey ... we 're in this together , right ? nina : thank you for taking care of me . ric : hey , as your husband , i want to help you in all things . which is why i need to ask you something . nina : what do you need to ask me ? ric : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] carly : i know you . i 've always known who you are . i know what you do , and i know there 's violence . sonny : right . carly : i ask you for two things . you warn me if there 's a threat , and you do everything in your power to keep me and the kids safe , including this angel here . avery : da ! carly : what ? sonny : let me tell you something . i know i 've said this 1,000 times , but i 'm gon na say it 1,001 . i 'm gon na do everything in my power to make sure nothing happens to this beautiful little baby and to anybody in my family . carly : i believe you . sonny : you do ? carly : of course , i do . i would n't be sitting here . you chose this life , sonny . sonny : yeah . carly : and you could n't change if you tried , and i would n't ask you to . sonny : you 've had my back always , and i love you for that . carly : yes . sonny : you know those croissants , those almond croissants ? carly : this one ? sonny : [ laughs ] carly : here , let me have her . let me have her . come here . come here . aww . ooh . sonny : i just -- can you -- you 're gon na love these . it 's just amazing . carly : are you gon na share this with me ? are you ? do you want to share that ? what is that ? sonny : uh , do you want to be mrs. corinthos again ? carly : you -- you want to marry me ? sonny : [ chuckles ] for a while now . you stuck by me in prison , and even when i pushed you away . carly : well , you 're never gon na do that again 'cause it does n't work , you know . sonny : [ chuckles ] i know , and i 'm lucky to have you back . but last night pushed me over the edge . carly : was i that good ? sonny : you 're always that good , even better . no , it was n't that . it was josslyn , the cancer screening . you could n't tell me . that 's gon na change . i want to -- i want to -- i want to be there for you . you 've accepted me , no matter what i am , what i do . i want to do the same for you . i want to love you for the rest of my life . i want you to be my wife . [ scene_break ] jordan : i have to get my son , tj , away from him . scott : well , you know what ? that 's not gon na be easy because i 've been chasing him for years . jordan : yeah , you had him , too , for murdering aj quartermaine . scott : i did . i sent him away for life . and his little short incarceration , he learned nothing . he killed aj quartermaine and got away with murder . jordan : yeah , thanks to that little pardon from the governor , right ? scott : that 's right . so , if anybody needs proof that sonny corinthos is a cold - blooded killer , i have the evidence right here on this recording . [ scene_break ] ava : the only evidence that your father has against me is that audio recording that aj made on his phone before sonny killed him . without it , scott has no case against me , at least not one he could win . franco : yeah , about that . a lot of people heard that tape . i heard it . carly , sonny . ava : but without the actual physical recording , any accusations made against me would just be hearsay . any good lawyer would tear them up on the stand . franco : i do n't know about that , ava . you 're making an awful lot of assumptions . ava : and then i could come back to town as myself . ava jerome . there 'd be no need for auntie denise , and i could be a mother to my little girl . [ scene_break ] silas : denise and i had a very enlightening discussion about just how hands - on you two got , so stop lying to me . it just makes you look even less worthy of my daughter . morgan : it 's nothing either of us saw coming , dr. clay . okay , suddenly , we were just all over each other . it was like a switch was flipped . there was just no control . silas : you 're not helping yourself , kid . morgan : ah , oh , okay . denise , she looks a lot like ava , a lot like ava . i could not stop myself . i knew it was wrong . i tried to fight it , but i could n't , okay ? i had no intention , dr. clay , of making a fool out of your daughter or hurting her in any way , and neither did denise . silas : and yet , somehow , you managed . morgan : do you not see ava in denise ? i mean , she 's a ringer for her . it 's like -- it 's like every time i see denise , all the feelings that i had for ava come rushing in . they drown out the voice of reason . i hate myself for doing it , i do , and denise and i promised each other that it would never happen again . it is completely over . but , dr. clay , please do not tell kiki . [ scene_break ] kiki : nina already kidnapped avery once . she had this delusion that avery was her daughter with my dad . she absolutely had to be the one that took avery from the hospital . michael : but why would nina bring her back ? kiki : i do n't know . maybe she thought the cops were closing in on her , and she panicked . we did find avery in my dad 's apartment . it would make some sort of sense in nina 's delusional mind to take avery back there to my father . i do n't know . but the more i think about it , the more scared i get . i mean , what if nina tries to take avery again ? [ scene_break ] nina : where 'd you get that ? well , i was looking for financial statements , you remember , and you said that they were at the bottom of the bureau drawer . nina : yeah . ric : i found the statements , and i also found this . it was under your paperwork . nina : you found that in my drawer ? ric : yes . [ clears throat ] you know , um ... i was sonny 's lawyer when avery was kidnapped , and kiki morgan had described this -- this very blanket . avery -- avery had it when she was removed by social services from the quartermaines , and then she also had it when she was in the hospital , but when she was returned , the blanket was missing . nina : okay , are you accusing me of kidnapping the baby ? [ scene_break ] carly : we 've been married four times , and we could n't make it work . sonny : the last one does n't count 'cause i tricked you . [ laughs ] carly : point is , maybe things are better the way they are . sonny : do you love me ? carly : you know i love you . sonny : then why do we keep pretending that this is n't for the long haul or for better or worse ? carly : there 's been so much worse , sonny . sonny : yeah , but that 's when we shine . if you love somebody in the good times , that 's easy . you 've loved me through the dark times , and i 've loved you the same way . i know you 're gon na , you know -- you 're gon na love me no matter what , but i guess i 'm just old - fashioned . [ avery cooing ] carly : okay . what do you think ? [ babbling ] carly : i 'd love to be mrs. corinthos again . sonny : can i hear it one more time ? carly : i 'd love to be mrs. corinthos again . mm . [ avery babbling ] sonny : oh , you have just made me the happiest man alive . carly : i 'm pretty thrilled myself . i am . i know i love you more than i ever have . sonny : you know , it seems like , as we get older , we love more . can i take the baby , 'cause i want to see this thing on you . carly : yes . sonny : let me see . come here . come here , you girl . let 's put the ring on her right now . look , yes . yes . yes . yes ! carly : that 's not coming off . [ laughs ] wow . it 's beautiful . it 's beautiful . look at this . hey , avery , look at that . what do you think ? is it okay if i marry your daddy ? yeah ? sonny : so , that makes -- that makes you her mother . carly : oh , wow . you 're right . sonny : so , are you okay with that , seriously ? i mean , 'cause you hated ava . carly : are you kidding me ? when i look at this angel , i do n't see ava . i see your face , and i 'll love her like she 's my own . sonny : do you hear that , little girl ? you 're gon na have the best mother in the world . come here , let 's all lay down together here . carly : she is tired , huh ? [ scene_break ] ava : that recording of my confession to aj must be floating around the police department somewhere . franco : yeah , i 've heard the police like to hang on to the evidence for a murder case . ava : well , then , your father would have access to it , and you have access to your father . [ scene_break ] jordan : so , that recording incriminates both sonny and ava ? scott : yeah , it 's a gold mine . they were both gon na go down , but corinthos walked , and ava jerome , well , she was declared dead . [ scene_break ] franco : let me get this straight . you want me to influence my father , the district attorney , to get you off the case , a murder case -- ava : shh ! franco : a murder case , a murder that you unquestionably committed . ava : if you get that recording for me , i promise you , i will do whatever i have to do to help you rescue nina from that creep who 's trying to milk her for all she 's worth . [ scene_break ] nina : i do n't know where the blanket came from . i 'm telling you . i do n't now . somebody put it in there . somebody is framing me . ric : okay , okay , listen . maybe we can figure this out together . just think for a minute . who ? who could have done this ? who could have put that in there ? nina : i do n't know ! i do n't know . i did n't take the baby . i did n't take the baby . ric : all right , listen . okay , okay , listen . listen . i 'm sure there 's a logical explanation for this , okay ? do n't worry . i 'll take care of it . nina : all right . ric : listen , i 'm not just your husband here . i 'm also your lawyer , so i need you to listen . you can not , all right ? can not tell anybody about this blanket . they might misunderstand . [ scene_break ] morgan : no matter what you think about me , dr. clay , i care about kiki , and i do n't want to hurt her . okay , but if you tell her what went on between me and her aunt , she 's gon na freak . silas : oh , you think ? morgan : honestly , dr. clay , it 's over . silas : you 're right about one thing , morgan . kiki would be devastated if she found out , and that 's why , against my better judgment , i 'm not gon na tell her . morgan : thank y -- silas : do n't speak . do n't . this is your one chance . you stay away from denise . done . if the two of you so much as brush hands , i 'm gon na tell kiki exactly what a sick , weak bastard you really are . morgan : not an issue . i swear . i 'm not going to betray kiki again . you can count on that . [ scene_break ] kiki : thank you , michael . you 're doing me a huge favor . i wish there was some way that i could return the favor . michael : well , short of getting my family 's company back , i ca n't think of anything . kiki : well , if you decide you want to challenge nikolas cassadine to a high stakes game of poker to win back elq , i could do that . michael : all right , well , i will keep that in mind . kiki : [ chuckles ] bye . michael : bye .

[ telephone rings ] dante : how did you know how to find us if laura did n't tell you where we were going ? kevin : deductive reasoning . she told me she was going to try and find nikolas , so i - i tried to think of a place where he might hide and that you would know about . laura : well , i 'm very impressed . but you came an awfully long way on a hunch . kevin : which makes it all the more gratifying to know i was right . laura : okay . you said how you got here , but you did n't really say why .

lucy : you know , i think she -- well , she liked all colors , so i 'm sure she liked red , too . but , boy , she knew how to dress , did n't she ? she always had that flair , and she was always beautiful and sparkly and -- that 's not really the point , is it , though ? mac : is there a point ? lucy : you remember i was briefly married to alan , right ? i mean , it was a whirlwind courtship , and -- well , actually , we probably should n't have gotten married ever at all , but we did because i wanted to . i wanted to be a quartermaine at that time very desperately , and so i was happy , and so i wanted the best dress ever . i wanted the dress of all dresses , the society to be impressed by my style , and when it came it was -- it was red . but it came that day , and i knew if i did n't put that dress on , then maybe the wedding would have to be postponed . kevin : and that would give alan a chance to come to his senses . lucy : that is not funny . that is really unkind . however , it 's sort of a teensy - weensy bit true . i wanted that wedding to go on , and so i made that wedding go on . so i put that dress on , and it was red , and everybody made fun of me and i was the laughingstock . and everybody laughed except mother quartermaine . and she -- she actually said i looked really lovely , and she was very kind and she said that red was my color , and it complemented me so well . anyway , that marriage did n't last , did it ? and alan and i did n't part on very friendly terms . but over the years we made up our differences and he became one of my very favorite ex - husbands . and i owe , i think , a lot of that to mother quartermaine . she would never admit it , though . you know that . felicia : mm - hmm , it sounds like lila . always doing amazing things and making them sound like they happened by accident , right ? lucy : yeah , you 're right . do you know she was actually the only person , i think , that was always happy to see me ? and she also told me that that red- wedding - dress wedding was her absolute favorite wedding of all time -- except for hers , of course . so that 's it . that 's why i 'm -- i 'm wearing red . it is in tribute of mother quartermaine . and i do n't care if everybody thinks i 'm in extremely bad taste , because mother quartermaine and i know better . alan : robin , it is so good to see you . thank you for coming . robin : of course . monica : tracy , you remember robin , robert and anna scorpio 's daughter ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i do n't want to fight about jason , okay ? i just want to agree to disagree . you had your reasons for arresting him , and i had my reasons for visiting him , so can we just leave it at that ? lucky : but you 're still angry with me . elizabeth : i 'm trying to get over what you did , just like i want you to get over what i did . lucky : because you could 've been arrested for taking my badge ! elizabeth : but i was n't . lucky : because i covered for you . elizabeth : i know , and i am grateful , thank you . lucky : but you 're not acting like it . elizabeth : i 've been dealing with a lot , okay ? like my child was just kidnapped , the police think that i had something to do with it . lucky : so this is really what this is about , is n't it ? because i doubted you when jake was taken , but jason never really did . is that really where this -- elizabeth : lucky -- come here , baby .

[ sam laughs ] sam : yeah . where is jax these days ? and why is his brother after you ? carly : you should n't worry about jax , and you really should n't worry about jason . you should worry about getting your freeloading butt out of here . [ scene_break ] amelia : how well do you know sam ? nikolas : well , we 're not -- we 're not particularly close . but i -- i still would have a problem if anyone tried to hurt her . amelia : hmm . before sam landed in port charles , she was running a very lucrative scam which involved marrying rich men and stealing their money . nikolas : that 's a -- that 's a pretty serious accusation , do n't you think ? amelia : no , it 's a fact . sam does n't dispute it . when she married my father , she was calling herself angela monroe . when he discovered that she was stealing all of his money and about to head out of town , he confronted her . she killed him , shot him through the chest , got off on self - defense , and vanished . nikolas : oh -- okay . so -- so you -- you tracked her down to , what , to -- to avenge your father ? amelia : more or less . i was working in new york as a producer . the news of the metro court explosion made the national feed . when i saw the woman who murdered my father being hailed a hero , it made me physically ill . i wanted to drive to port charles and confront her and call the cable networks , tell the whole world the truth . and then i had a moment of clarity -- inspiration , if you will . i decided to build a show around sam , make her a star , then destroy her . nikolas : but that 's not what happened . amelia : my revenge did n't turn out quite the way i expected . nikolas : it rarely does . i 'm learning that all over again right now . [ scene_break ] sonny : amelia and i , we have an understanding . if she comes out about your story , then i 'll come out with the fact that , you know , we -- we had a bit of an involvement . kate : well , i guess that would be the polite euphemism for it . sonny : i mean , she 's already had to deal with rumors that i 'm underwriting `` everyday heroes . `` if the network finds out that she slept with me , they would drop her like a bad habit . kate : yes -- unless she decides to call your bluff . can you imagine the ratings if she decides to challenge the network ? she could take it all the way to the supreme court , and it would be just in time for sweeps . sonny : she 's already agreed to do what i say . sonny : but i 'm telling you right now , at some point the truth 's going to come out . so why not take charge of the information and just admit the truth ? kate : i ca n't . sonny : what do you -- `` you ca n't `` ? you have n't done anything wrong . you grew up in bensonhurst as connie falconeri . yeah , you were a little bit different than the rest -- you had big dreams , you worked very hard to achieve them . kate : and i lied -- sonny : you did n't -- kate : every step of the way . sonny : okay , did you cheat to get into princeton , or the hard work that you did there ? kate : no , of course not , i got a full scholarship . and i legally changed my name before i started my freshman year . sonny : what about `` couture `` ? did you -- what , i mean , that 's the only job you 've had , right ? kate : yeah . sonny : did you sleep your way to the top ? kate : who has the time ? sonny : well , i mean , you know . did n't your boss say that you were the reason that the magazine was such a success ? kate : sonny , this is my point . if warren finds out that kate howard -- who he believes grew up rich in connecticut -- really grew up connie falconeri -- blue - collar from bensonhurst -- he 'll feel foolish , and so will the readers and so will the advertisers . sonny : well , they 'll get over it . your work 's going to stand on its own , is n't it ? kate : it 's one thing to create an image . it 's quite another to lie about who you are and where you 've come from . i will have made a lot of very rich , very entitled people feel ridiculous , and they 're going to have to shut me out in order to save face . sonny : well , i understand that . kate : and this person that i created , kate howard -- she 'll be a joke . sonny : it 's hard for you to come back from that . kate : i 've made a lot of sacrifices , sonny , and my career will be over . but i guess that 's what you wanted after all . sonny : you know , i mean -- hey . i mean , i 'd -- i 'd never want you to lose your job . kate : but you want me to be connie falconeri from bensonhurst . sonny : ah . you did what you had to do , i would 've done the same thing -- that 's how the world works . i mean , it does n't matter if it 's a fancy office on seventh avenue or going to a meeting with a bunch of bodyguards in a warehouse . it 's all about perception and respect . kate : that 's true . sonny : and i understand about creating an image . you know , it 's -- once that image is established , you ca n't put it down . people depend on you ; they make decisions based on what you want them to do . kate : that 's -- you get it . sonny : i mean , we 're a lot alike . i mean , you 're smart , you 're driven , you 're good at your job . but , see , in my world , if there 's a slip - up and if anything real or vulnerable comes through , then the violence starts . people get hurt . kate : well , it 's the same in my world . i mean , it 's a little more civilized , i suppose , but -- sonny : yeah . kate : it 's life and death -- at least , it is for me . [ scene_break ] amelia : so what have you learned about revenge the hard way ? nikolas : nothing relevant to your situation . look , if you 've -- if you 've set out to destroy sam , then why did i just see her picture on the side of a bus in new york city ? amelia : it 's ironic , i suppose . `` everyday heroes `` is a hit . sam 's numbers keep going up , so do the ratings -- that makes me the network golden girl . it would be career suicide for me to destroy sam -- at least , at the moment . nikolas : look -- look , i 'll -- i 'll buy out her contract -- whatever i need to do . but i -- i ca n't just stand around and allow her to -- to work for someone who 's out to destroy her . amelia : well , i appreciate your loyalty -- as misplaced as it may be -- but trust me , i 'm not sam 's problem . in fact , i may turn out to be the best friend she has .

[ knock on door ] diane : clarice . so is the rumor true ? has kate finally persuaded you to leave `` couture `` ? clarice : well , it did n't take much convincing . giselle was a nightmare to work for . diane : oh , god . i can only imagine what you were made to endure . the magazine certainly went downhill after she took over . i might just be biased because of my friendship with the former editor . can i have a word with you ? kate : of course . clarice : i have some phone calls to make . kate : okay , but when maxie and lulu get back , you make sure to tell them you have more important things to do now than answer the phones . all right , so what is it this time ? you got a weekend getaway ? a fabulous dinner in the city ? diane : believe it or not , i 'm not here for samples . kate : what ? diane : i know , i know . surprising . kate : [ laughs ] diane : although , i would n't mind sneaking a peak at jean - paul 's fall line . kate : oh , yeah . you and everybody else . diane : oh . kate : well , i might be getting some samples on friday . if you drop by , i might be able to give you that sneak peek . diane : okay , okay . do n't tease . see ? [ laughter ] diane : that 's why giselle could never hold a candle to you . not only are you an icon , but you are a veritable fashion fairy godmother raining couture down on my closet . kate : okay , that 's enough . thank you very much . so , what can i do for you in the meantime ? diane : well , i am not in the practice of meddling . in fact -- [ kate clears throat ] diane : far be it from me to tell anyone what to do . kate : okay , clearly , that is why you 're here , diane . so just go on . say what you have to say . diane : all right , if you insist . i think sonny corinthos is the worst thing that 's ever happened to you . having said that , it is clear that you are head over heels in love with the man . so trust me . as one who has dealt with the man under extremely difficult , often emotional circumstances , you are handling your fiancé all wrong . [ scene_break ] sonny : did you or milo talk to jason about coming back to work for me ? max : well , i wanted to talk to you first and be sure you 're okay with it . i know you do n't want guards , so maybe you could think of milo and i as drivers with security qualifications . sonny : you want to date diane while you 're working here ? max : i was hoping you could leave my personal life out of it . sonny : is that a yes , max ? max : i want to come back to work for you , boss . all right ? and milo will do whatever i decide . but you ca n't ask me to give up diane . sonny : do you think you can focus on work while you 're dating my lawyer ? max : no question . sonny : okay , then you talk to -- talk to jason . max : sure . i will . what do you want me to talk to him about ? sonny : about coming back , you and milo coming back to work for me . max : okay , sure . i -- that would be great . no -- i mean -- that would be great . sonny : what do you -- max : because i want to come back to work for you . and milo and i are glad to do that . sonny : right . max : but maybe you could talk to jason , you know ? sonny : no , no . max : boss to boss kind of thing . sonny : no , no , no . it 's your decision . you 've got to work this out . and you have to understand something , that when you come back to work for me , your loyalty is to me . max : sure , boss . i understand . i 'll go tell jason right now . sonny : no , take those . take the flowers . max : what do you want me to do with them ? sonny : send them back . if you want to give them to diane -- but i do n't want them . just take them . max : i ca n't give these to ms. miller . i mean , not that she would n't love them . they 're gorgeous . boss , miss howard got you these . we ca n't re - gift them . it would n't be right . and besides , what are you going to tell her when she asks you where they are ? sonny : kate and i , we 're not talking at the moment . that 's why she sent the flowers , because she thinks that we had a disagreement that can be glossed over by an apology . but the truth is , it 's going to take a hell of a lot more to fix our problems . [ scene_break ] nikolas : okay . sam : she is just a little girl . nikolas : i know . sam : it just -- it does n't see fair . her mother did everything right . she took her to the hospital . she got her treatment . and it did n't make a bit of difference . how does something like this happen ? since when did taking medication become a game of chance ? nikolas : since someone saw that there was a profit to be made . apparently , the counterfeit drug business is quite lucrative . see , people -- people , they introduce the placebos into the market and then sell them at the same cost as the real prescription . sam : i know . i -- i have been known to run a scam to make a quick buck , but nothing like this . to take advantage of people 's vulnerability , profiting off their sickness is just plain wrong . [ scene_break ] max : do you want to work things out with ms. howard ? sonny : i love her . you know , that 's just the way that is . but it 's just -- i 'm starting to feel like our worlds do n't fit . max : is n't that why you signed everything over to jason ? to prove to kate that you could keep her safe ? sonny : well , that 's part of it . i mean -- you know , after michael got shot , you know , you see your little boy there , laying in a bed in a coma . i mean , things have to change . and i felt like walking away , we -- kate and could start fresh , we can , you know , build a -- a new life together . but she 's got her own life now . so , you know , i do n't think she 's willing to change . max : so where does that leave you ? sonny : well , i 'll tell you where it does n't leave me . it does n't leave me in the background holding kate 's purse while she 's , you know , getting her picture taken . that may be good for some people , but i am not going to spend the rest of my life being kate 's lapdog . you know ? max : ms. howard is a high - powered woman , but you do n't seriously think that she 'd order you around , do you ? sonny : no , it 's not like that , max . she treats me with respect . and she 's worked hard to get where she 's at . i 'm not trying to take that away , but if she wants me -- max : boss -- sonny : to be in her life , then she 's going to have to , you know , give me some room . max : boss , ms. howard could have gone back to manhattan at any time . but she stayed and she found a way to work . that should tell you how much she cares . sonny : i 'm not saying she does n't love me . max : cut her little bit of slack . according to diane , ms. howard 's got a lot riding on this magazine . her reputation is on the line . sonny : right . max : if `` crimson `` fails , she 's going to have a hard time finding work anywhere . that 's got to be stressful . sonny : her career is one thing , max . but , you know what ? i am not going to look the other way while she 's having this pretend affair with jax for publicity . i will not -- be disrespected like that . max : maybe there 's a compromise . that 's what marriage is supposed to be about , right ? [ scene_break ] diane : sonny is an extremely proud man . some would call him arrogant . most would certainly consider him domineering . kate : [ sighs ] i am well aware of exactly who sonny is , and i am proud of his accomplishments . and i think that he 's proud of mine . diane : yes , but you seem to be forgetting how possessive the man is . and if i had to guess , i would say he is less than thrilled with the public speculating that you and jax are sleeping together . kate : he has made his feelings on the subject quite clear . look , diane , i was hoping that we could have some sort of middle ground , make some sort of compromise so that i could still be seen in public with jax in order to promote `` crimson `` but not detract from my relationship with sonny . [ scene_break ] maxie : okay . i picked up the mock - ups from the printer and i made extra copies for the staff meeting . clarice : thank you for taking care of all that . maxie : not a problem . is kate here ? clarice : she got here about 20 minutes ago . i told her that you and lulu were both running errands , but i do n't know how long that excuse will hold . do you have any idea when lulu might be in ? maxie : i -- i do n't know . she should be here any minute .

[ scene_break ] johnny : you 're sure spending a lot of time in here for someone who 's been booted off the case . that 's borderline harassment . maybe i should get my lawyers to look into that . lucky : go ahead . i 'll probably walk away with a reprimand . but it 'll be worth it knowing that my sister 's safe . johnny : okay , there is nothing more important to me in this world than your sister . lucky : then quit being selfish . logan may have deserved to die like a dog in the street , but she cared about him . she gave him chance after chance . now he 's dead . probably because of you . johnny : probably . it 's going to take a hell of a lot more than `` probably `` to convict me in a court of law . lucky : yeah , well , my sister is blaming herself . and it 's only going to get worse . johnny : do n't you think i know that ? but there 's nothing i can do about that in here .

[ scene_break ] maxie : it 's a little late for second thoughts . if you confess , it 's going to look like you 're covering for johnny . or the police are going to think that he has something to hide and then his chances of being acquitted will be shot to hell . so unless you want your boyfriend shipped off to pentonville for the rest of his life , i suggest you suck it up and just see this through . lulu : well , i 'm not like you , maxie . i ca n't sit here and act like nothing happened while johnny takes the blame for killing logan . i 'm the one who ended his life . i should be the one who has to pay . maxie : i 'm not acting like nothing happened . logan was a pig , and i believe that you killed him in self - defense . so that is why johnny and i are doing back - flips to try and cover for you . alonzo : is she in ? maxie : alonzo , wait . oh , kate was n't expecting you till three . alonzo : i 'm having dinner in milan tonight . i have exactly -- oh -- one hour before my flight leaves . if she ca n't fit me in now , we 'll have to reschedule next month . maxie : okay , why do n't you take a seat ? i 'll let her know you 're here early . alonzo : all right , thank you . maxie : okay . kate : well , it 's too bad giselle could n't handle it . could you hold a minute , please ? maxie , whatever it is , you need to take care of it . maxie : alonzo needs to get on a plane to milan in an hour and he wants to choose the models with you now . kate : okay , you need to stay here .

[ scene_break ] sam : hey . lucky : i got your message , what 's -- what 's going on ? sam : okay , i am so glad that you 're here , just listen to me for a second . you barely knew me when my daughter died , but losing her was sort of like having my heart ripped out . i learned to live with the pain , i mean , i learned to kind of bury it deep down inside . but seeing this little girl almost die today sort of brought everything back to the surface . and i know i 'm probably overreacting , probably because this little girl was the same age that my daughter would have been if she had survived . lucky : okay , okay , can you just slow down ? what little girl ? sam : okay , i was taking a tour here today of the clinic when this woman came in with her daughter , and this little girl had been given defective antibiotics over at mercy and nearly died from an infection that could have easily been treated otherwise . lucky : okay , first the pain pills , then nikolas ' seizure medication and now the antibiotics ? how can this keep happening ? sam : i do n't know . but , lucky , we have to find out who 's putting these fake drugs into hospitals and clinics and stop them before somebody dies . lucky : i ca n't track down where the counterfeit drugs are coming from , much less prosecute the person responsible without a lead . nadine : it looks like isabel is going to pull through . sam : so , like we 're supposed to all breathe a sigh of relief and go back to business as usual ? i mean think about it , what about the other patients who are seen at mercy ? what if somebody got bad meds and they 're too sick to come to the clinic ? do n't they deserve help , too ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : i am going to call the health department and tell them to track down every patient that came through mercy 's e.r . in the last few days . nadine : there 's got to be something else we can do , right ? nikolas : lucky , can you open up an investigation ? lucky : it wo n't do us any good without any more information . right now , we ca n't even be sure that the counterfeit drugs are coming from the same source . nadine : well , why do n't you start with the zaccharas and then go from there ? i mean , claudia was hanging around the clinic , she had access and opportunity . nikolas : hold on , we ca n't start making random accusations here . lucky : nikolas is right , we need proof . lucky : listen , i 'll be happy to take down any information you had to offer and i 'll just take it over to pcpd . sam : what if that does n't work for me ? [ scene_break ] max : they 're from miss howard . diane : i should have known , the woman has impeccable taste . so why she 's with sonny is beyond me . speaking of which , is he home ? max : uh , the boss stepped out . he should be back soon , though . diane : which begs the question , why are you here ? not that i mind . max : um , the thing is , uh , i have been meaning to talk to you about this . nothing 's been decided yet -- well , actually , it has been decided , but i just have n't -- diane : you are returning to sonny 's employ . max : how did you know ? diane : [ laughing ] oh -- you 've been miserable ever since you stopped working for him . which makes no sense to me , but i do n't judge you , max . i simply appreciate you for the loyal , upstanding , flexible man that you are . max : well , thank you , that means a lot . diane : i assume that you stipulated that you and i will continue to see each other . max : that was the first thing i told the boss . diane : you forceful man , you . sonny : hey , flirt on your own time . if you 're going to do this , do n't do it here , while you 're working . i pay you by the hour . diane : well , this wo n't take nearly that long ; i just need your signature on a couple of contracts . max : did you talk to kate ? sonny : did you talk to jason ? because you ca n't quit until you talk to him . diane : these contracts are for the antiguan purchase . now , they reflect the terms that you negotiated . however , they have asked -- sonny : yeah , just leave it on the -- there . i 'm going to look at that later . corinthos ... this is just -- this is no . diane : i 'm going to assume by your somber demeanor -- sonny : what ? diane : that kate has somehow failed to meet an expectation in some way . get used to it . independent , free thinking women , like kate and myself , are defined by our careers , not by whatever man we happen to be with at any given moment . and if you think that a ring , even five karats , is somehow going to turn kate into a docile housewife whose only goal in life is to cater to your mood swings , i strongly advise you to reconsider this marriage . or get used to the inevitable disappointment . [ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm here to see john zacchara . mac : what possible reason could you have for wanting to visit johnny ? maxie : dad , i could explain it to you but it would probably be kind of awkward . mac : try me . maxie : you said you did n't want to talk to me about my sex life . mac : you 're sleeping with johnny zacchara ? maxie : no , but i did sleep with logan , mostly to hurt lulu 's feelings , and then when lulu found out she kicked logan to the curb , which of course he blamed all on me . you know , i do n't know if you knew logan when he was alive , but he was n't the greatest guy . in fact he was downright insulting . johnny , on the other hand , he 's been really nice to me and i feel bad , i just want to help . mac : ah , maxie , you know , for all the trouble you 've gotten yourself into , you sure have a generous heart . maxie : no , i do n't , but i love you for thinking that . mac : he 's in the interrogation room . maxie : thank you . johnny : what do you want ? maxie : a little help would be nice . lulu is dangerously close to cracking , and if you do n't do something , i think she 's going to confess to killing logan . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , i have a question ; just hear me out for a second . how long would it take for an investigation to get up and running , to set up some sort of a task force and go undercover at the hospital ? lucky : the pcpd 's resources is limited . we do n't have enough manpower to pull officers off the street and assign them to a task force . even if we did , i do n't know if mac would approve it . sam : oh , i 'm not sure i 'm quite understanding this . so you 're telling that you 're planning on doing this all on your own ? come on , lucky , there 's got to be hundreds of people on staff between gh and mercy . it could take him months to interview them all . and then what -- do you honestly believe that somebody is going to confess to buying counterfeit drugs and supplying them to patients ? nadine : lucky 's not the enemy here . sam : i know he 's not the enemy ; it 's just a little frustrating when you know that somebody 's deliberately hurting people and the police department does n't have enough funding to do anything about it . nikolas : look , if you ca n't put together an official task force , okay , i 'll fund a private one myself , in conjunction with the pcpd , okay ? lucky : well , the more people we have working on this the better chances of finding who 's moving these drugs . sam : and then we can shut them down .

lulu : if you did n't say no when spinelli asked you to marry him , did you say yes ? maxie , tell me you are not gon na marry spinelli . maxie : oh , i -- i love spinelli . he 's the sweetest , kindest , most amazing man that i have ever met , and i am incredibly happy with him . why would i want to mess that up and get married ? lulu : so did you tell him that ? maxie : see , to me , getting married is basically the opposite of being of love , so i want to leave things how they are . that sounds reasonable , right ? lulu : what did you tell spinelli ? maxie : that i had to go to work and i would get back to him when i had the time . lulu : that is so cowardly . maxie : i think he 'll get the hint and just not mention getting married again . lulu : spinelli does n't get hints . we know this . unless you look him in the eye and tell him you do n't want to marry him , who knows what he 's gon na do ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] spinelli : thank you so much for responding so quickly to my distress call . it 's very much appreciated . max : what is it ? what 's wrong ? spinelli : it 's a situation most dire . max : are you in trouble ? where 's jason ? spinelli : he dispensed his advice and then left for the stone cold mission of the day . but , alas , i remain confounded , so it was my hope that mr. sir 's preeminent protector could shed some light in the area where he has displayed great skill . max : you need me to kneecap somebody . spinelli : uh , no , alas . uh , i require assistance of a far more tender and profound nature .

[ scene_break ] max : if this is about a marriage proposal , buddy , i ca n't help you . spinelli : has it not traditionally been the preeminent protector 's assigned duty to procure the ceremonial jewelry for mr. sir 's proposals for his assorted wives ? max : well , yeah , well , i picked up the boss ' ring for kate howard . i messed up so bad that diane thought i asked her to marry me . spinelli : but what did she say ? max : she said yes . spinelli : right ! that 's exactly why . if you managed to procure a yes from the brusque lady of justice when she did n't even want to get married , then surely you can help the jackal in his reframing effort to propose to maximista . max : but why do you want to marry her ? spinelli : ohh ... why ... why do the birds want to fly ? why -- why does the sun shine and the moon quickly follow at every turn of the earth ? why does the wind blow ? max : the girl 's crazy about you . why do you want to mess it up ? spinelli : ask the lily among thorns . so is my love among the daughters that ... as the apple tree among the trees of the woods , so is my love . i sat down under her shadow ... and her fruit tasted sweet to me . max : uh - huh . spinelli : such carnal pleasure was never -- had never been experienced by the jackal , and i daresay never by maximista either . after singing at karaoke night , we at last became one , a -- a -- locked in -- in naked embrace of perfect symmetry -- max : okay , okay , i got it , i got it . spinelli : i just -- i -- i want that glorious connection to continue . so , in -- in the midst of our ... morning after , as it were , i proposed . max : what did she say ? maxie : she proclaimed that she was late for work and fled the room . max : ohh . [ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli was ... just so vulnerable , which is really kind of brave if you think about it . lulu : he 's totally caught up with this courtly love thing . maxie : yeah , and i told him how i felt about marriage like a long time ago . lulu : he has asked you to marry him before ? maxie : no . and i never wanted him to . i mean , spinelli and i were alone in the church before patrick and robin 's wedding , and that made me start thinking about when my mom married mac . i thought of all the beautiful promises she made , and i stood there like an idiot and believed all of them . less than a year later , she was gone . and she walked away from me , georgie , and mac , just like my dad left her . i told spinelli then that i could never see myself getting married . lulu : so why did n't you say no when he asked ? maxie : because when i 'm with spinelli , i believe anything is possible . i believe in myself , the kind of love that lasts forever . and then i thought , you know , patrick and robin were having some problems and they managed to work it out . lulu : oh , my god ! you are actually thinking about marrying spinelli . maxie : i love spinelli with all of my heart , and if he wants to marry me so badly , i mean , how am i supposed to say no ? [ scene_break ] rebecca : you 've been very kind , edward . um ... i just do n't understand how a loan , freely given , with no strings attached -- edward : no strings . heh heh heh . rebecca : somehow turned into you trying to run my life . edward : you know something , my dear ? i wish that you had had the opportunity to grow up in this house with emily . that way , you 'd know how the quartermaines do things . you see , i look at you as my granddaughter , just as i looked at emily . and i 'm just as interested in your future as i was in hers . i want you to have a good , productive life , and i want you to be happy , and that will never happen with nikolas cassadine . rebecca : but with all due respect , uh , mr. quartermaine , you do n't know that . edward : oh , i do , my dear . i never wanted emily to become involved with nikolas in the first place . he 's descended from a long line of inbred , murderous lunatics . and in the brief time she was with him , she was assaulted and terrorized . he was the reason she was in that godforsaken castle that night that she died . and our -- our emily gave up her life , literally , for the love of nikolas cassadine , and i will not allow you to do it . rebecca : since when is that your call to make ?

[ scene_break ] max : i 'm no expert , but if you ask a girl to marry you , even after great sex , if she tells you she 's got to get to work , she 's either obsessed with her career or she 's running away 'cause the answer 's no . i 'm sorry . spinelli : you ca n't rule out the third option , however . max : there is no third option . there 's yes and there 's no . spinelli : but after a night of rare passion , after the cries of joy and abandon -- max : spinelli , i get it . i do n't need the details , okay , ever . spinelli : maximista may have been swept away by her unexpected -- max : that 's enough ! let 's bring it down a little bit . spinelli : all i 'm saying was the proposal was as spontaneous and wild as the night before and indeed the morning after . so maybe she just ... maybe she doubted my sincerity . max : she said no ? spinelli : no . she never said no . she never said no all night , in fact . so -- look ... i know you can help me out . please , just try ? max : i 'll give it a shot , metamorphically speaking . spinelli : all right . okay . i -- max : all right . spinelli : i await your instruction . please , give -- give me advice as to how to propose to maximista in such a way that it will guarantee an affirmative response . max : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] lulu : you can not marry spinelli just to make him happy . it 'll never work . my parents are the perfect example of that . maxie : what ? your parents are , like , legendary . people are still talking about their first wedding and great romance . lulu : yes , they loved each other , there is no question . but my dad is n't marriage material , just like you . he tried to be , but he could n't do it , and they ultimately wanted different things , just like you and spinelli . maxie : okay . so how am i supposed to tell spinelli that i love him with all of my heart and basically want to be around him all the time , i just do n't want to get married . [ telephone ringing ] kate : hello , ladies . so nice to see you at your desks . and yet , are those phones rolling to voicemail ? lulu : oh , they 're back in order . thank god . kate : nice save , lulu . i 'm sure that you 're lying , but at least i know you can think on your feet . you may update my phone sheet . maxie , you can get me the colletta proofs , you know , that photo session that i approved and you completely changed without my permission while i was away .

[ scene_break ] claire : you know , come to think of it , i have n't run into a lot of retired kingpins . sonny : there 's a reason for that . claire : right , right . once in the mob , always in the mob . oh , well , i guess you 're endlessly doomed to repeat the same cycle . amass more money and territory , piss off a rival , go to war , send fallout raining down on everyone around you . right ? until you drop dead or you get mowed down on a city street or you get sent to pentonville for the rest of your life . that 's a pretty bleak outlook if you ask me . but except for the prison part , at least you 'll be well - dressed . sonny : i 'm touched by your sympathy . claire : oh , that 's the last thing you need , sonny -- one more person sympathetic to your plight . sonny : and you 're certainly not that , right ? claire : no , i 'm not . sonny : oh . claire : i call it as i see it . you 're not hapless . quite the opposite . you 're extremely capable . you can find a way out of the mob if you really wanted to . but i guess there 's no incentive strong enough to give up that rush . that power . try not to choke on it . alexis : hi , there . sonny : hey . what are you doing ? alexis : having a meeting with a client . i am on my way over to the country club . the girls are waiting for me . you want to come ? sonny : you mean it ? alexis : i do . i think it would be nice to have some family time . good for kristina . sonny : i would love to do that . appreciate it . alexis : okay . sonny : let 's go . alexis : all righty .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know i 've apologized before , but you deserve more than one . ever since i found out i was carrying your baby , i 've been a real ugly person . nikolas : no . no , you have n't . i would n't put it exactly that way . elizabeth : well , of course you would n't , because you 're a gentleman , but i 'm calling myself out . i blamed you for the mess i made of my life . i made it abundantly clear that i wanted lucky to be the father and not you . and even though i said it in words that i wanted you to be a part of this baby 's life , my actions kept you at arm 's length , and that was just really unfair . nikolas : you do n't have to apologize to me anymore . okay ? you had every right to be mad at me then . i knew the toll that the affair was taking on you . i knew what the fallout of betraying lucky would be . i knew all that . and -- i just did n't care . i 'm sorry . elizabeth : yeah . we both made a lot of mistakes . but we also made a miracle . nikolas : yeah . elizabeth : and if i have n't said it before , i am so grateful for this baby . and i am so excited to raise this child with you . [ scene_break ] dante : we need to commit to a plan of action . jason : okay , can we agree that franco 's pointing us towards los angeles ? spinelli : it seems to make the most sense . dante : okay , so we go to l.a. then what ? how do we find franco or vice versa ? jason : well , i think franco 's gon na figure that out for us . dante : i do n't know , that 's pretty vague . jason : you got a better idea ? [ cell phone rings ] dante : no . hey , baby , what 's up ? lulu : i 'm on baker street . dante : what , are you okay ? lulu : you need to get here right away . [ scene_break ] alexis : so how were your tennis lessons ? molly : good . kristina : fine . alexis : you know , these two are really good tennis players . sonny : then why do they need lessons ? alexis : so they can get better , maybe . sonny : no , i 'm just saying , tennis it 's like -- i do n't see , like , the point . because it 's just -- kristina : the point ? sonny : well , it 's like ping pong , right ? or golf . like , who would want to get up early in the morning to hit a little ball about this big , you know , under the hot sun ? kristina : it 's sports . sometimes balls are involved . molly : what do you do to stay fit , uncle sonny ? sonny : um , i work out in -- i work out in my gym at home . molly : weights ? sonny : yeah , sometimes . molly : what about aerobically ? do you jog or anything ? [ alexis laughs ] sonny : well , i 've been boxing for a long time . 'cause , you know . know what i mean ? kristina : hmm . it fits your image . unlike running . can you imagine dad and a bunch of goons thundering down harbor view road , guns reflecting off the sun ? sonny : what kind of crack is that ? kristina : sorry . it 's a funny visual . can you think of that ? [ sonny laughs ] sonny : how 's summer school ? kristina : good . i got a new study partner . taylor 's a transfer , so he does n't know anything about kiefer , which was really refreshing . and taylor was really nice until i -- sonny : okay , first of all , who 's taylor ? and what happened ? did he do something to you ? [ scene_break ] lucky : maxie , listen . there 's not gon na be any checking in on elizabeth , okay ? she has everything she needs , i 'm sure . maxie : you do n't have to put on a good face for me . you 've been hung up on elizabeth for a really long time . lucky : well , people grow . maxie : that 's true . but you 're not that far removed . i mean , elizabeth 's baby could have just as easily been yours . so i think it 's natural that you would want to be there when the baby was born . maybe even indulge in a round of what might have been . lucky : it 's not natural for me to want to be there when nikolas and elizabeth 's baby is born . okay ? our relationship had become toxic . elizabeth was unhappy enough to cheat on me with my own brother . and i was living in the past so much i could n't even see what was going on . so i 'm glad that nikolas is the father of her baby . it 's just one less tie . maxie : that 's very intellectual , but what you know in your head does n't always translate to your heart . lucky : i thought you were the one advising me to cut all ties with elizabeth . maxie : oh , trust me , i absolutely think that is what 's best for you . but i want you to know that you can be honest with me . i mean , i 'm the last person that 's gon na judge you . lucky : okay . i wish elizabeth happiness . but i want the same for myself . and i realized that elizabeth and i stopped making each other happy a long time ago . i 'm just trying to figure out my life . you know , where i go next , what i want . but i 'm real clear on what i do n't want . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , as long as we 're clearing the air here , i 'd like to own up to a couple of things i did wrong , too . i was controlling and confrontational . i did n't mean to bully you , but somehow it always came out that way , and i 'm sorry . elizabeth : let 's just agree that we have n't been very nice to each other . and i hope we can i do n't ever think that i 've looked forward to anything in my life as to raising this child with you . [ beeping ] nikolas : what ? elizabeth : ohh . nikolas : what now ? what is it ? [ elizabeth groans ] nikolas : you okay ? what ? elizabeth : i do n't think this medication 's working . ahh . [ scene_break ] dante : what are you doing out here ? lulu : franco came to the office . dante : franco did ? lulu : yeah . dante : did he hurt you ? lulu : no . dante : are you okay ? lulu : yeah . dante : you 've got to tell me what happened . do n't leave anything out . lulu : i know . kate , i was on the phone with her , and i hung up , and then a few seconds later , he was there . dante : what did he say to you ? lulu : at first he was friendly , like he was stopping by to say hi . and then he made this crack about me being alone with no security when a serial killer 's on the loose . he said he might kill someone to get attention . dante : so he threatened you ? lulu : he said he would immortalize me for you . he would kill me and pose me and leave me for you to find . so i tried to follow him . dante : you what ? why would you do something like that ? are you crazy ? [ scene_break ] jason : okay , see if you can find any record of franco spending any time in los angeles . you know , maybe he had a showing there or some weird fan base , a circle of collectors . i just want to see if there 's anything that indicates that this might be tied to his art . spinelli : i 'm on it . jason : it 'd be nice to be a step ahead of franco for once . [ knock on door ] jason : what do you want ? ronnie : how you doing ? are n't you gon na invite me in ? i come bearing gifts . updates on those open murder cases dante asked for . spinelli : dante 's not here . jason : i 'll take it . ronnie : no , no , no , no , you wo n't . look , i do n't feel comfortable giving over police files to a couple of criminals . you know , when is dante gon na be back ? jason : when he gets here . ronnie : well , he 's a real clever guy , do n't you think ? i mean , dante figured out that franco was headed to l.a. , which puts us on his trail and leaves no further room for you . spinelli : has the duplicitous detective agreed to some nefarious plot against stone cold ? ronnie : dante and i are on the same page in this case . it was a necessary evil to release you because we needed you as bait to flush franco out . okay ? and he showed his hand . and now law enforcement will take it from here . spinelli : take what ? your word 's cryptic ronnie : you should have never been released from prison , okay ? but now that you 've served your purpose , you 're going back . jason : you 're never gon na find franco without me . spinelli : listen to stone cold , he speaks the truth . ronnie : all right , come on . hands on your head . you know the drill already . spinelli : no , you ca n't do this . ronnie : [ chuckles ] oh . boy , that 's convenient , morgan . thank you very much . now you 've given me reason and cause to actually bring you back to pentonville . put your hands behind your back .

[ groaning ] nikolas : okay , okay , okay . [ scene_break ] kristina : do n't freak out . taylor did n't do anything to me . i just had a stupid reaction to nothing at all . alexis : he seems like a really nice guy . he just reached for a book or sudden motion or something and it scared her . that 's all . sonny : no , i know how it works . sudden moves trigger memory of being hit . it 's like watching a fist coming to your face in slow motion but it 's fast at the same time . kristina : exactly . does it ever go away ? sonny : gradually it will . and then you 'll get to the point where at least you do n't flinch when somebody scratches their head , you know . i know what it 's about . warren : ms. davis . surrounded by her loving family of thugs and pathological liars . alexis : all right , obviously this is not appropriate . warren : it 's my pleasure to inform you that your court case is coming up sooner than you think .

[ scene_break ] molly : gone ? what do you mean , rafe is gone ? alexis : honey , his head injury was very severe , and during the surgery , there were complications . molly : and he died ? alexis : rafe is still breathing , but there 's -- there 's no brain activity . his body is alive , but the rafe you knew is not there . molly : [ voice breaking ] i just saw him ! we were in the car together ! how can i be okay and he 's -- alexis : i do n't know , but i 'm so grateful that you are alive . molly : [ sobs ] he did n't deserve this ! no matter what he did , rafe did n't deserve this .

[ scoffs ] michael : okay . denise : a - as you can imagine , the brainy , broody types , they do n't really do it for me . so i told him to back off . i guess he thought i was playing hard to get , 'cause the more i pushed him away , the -- the more he kept making the hard sell . and ... he only finally dropped it when i told him i was seeing someone . michael : and that someone -- that someone was me ? denise : i -- you know , i panicked . ah . i was n't thinking straight . michael : no , you were n't thinking at all . why did n't you tell him that you were seeing franco ? [ scene_break ] scott : you 're dating denise demuccio ? franco : yeah , you know her ? scott : yeah , i know her . [ chuckles ] we had her in lockup the first day she got to town here . we thought she was ava jerome trying to pull a scam . franco : even though she had totally different dna ? scott : well , not totally different . franco : different enough . scott : well , we did n't know that . franco : you 're lucky she 's not suing you for malicious prosecution . scott : well , you know , we have insurance for that , so ... does n't really matter now . tell your girlfriend she 's in the clear . franco : okay . yeah , i - i 'm sorry , pops . i - i -- i know how you really had your heart set on convicting ava . scott : [ sighs ] yeah . there 's nothing i can do about it now . franco : totally sucks that she went and died and -- you know , especially since you had that super - incriminating recording . totally would 've nailed her . you know , the recording that carly and i pulled off of aj 's phone ? you know , where ava admits to killing connie with the bonus track of sonny killing aj ? that was good stuff -- great stuff . you still got it , right ? scott : yeah , i got it . i got it right here , locked up . but , you know , fat good it does me . corinthos was pardoned , and , uh , ava jerome sleeps with the fishes . so this evidence is of no use to anyone . [ scene_break ] silas : nina ... nina : [ sighs ] silas : ... just tell me what 's on your mind . nina : uh , i heard a noise earlier this morning , and , um , it should n't have been there . but i heard it , and it woke me up from a deep sleep . silas : what noise ? nina : a baby crying . and since , you know , there 's no baby in my hotel room , right ... ? [ sighs ] so , um -- silas : so , what ? nina : i think it was just in my head . silas : listen , i understand you feeling concerned , all right ? but it was -- the sound just probably came from another room in the hotel . i mean , hotels are not exactly known for their soundproofing . nina : yeah , that 's what i thought . but my husband was there , and he did n't hear it , either . [ scene_break ] [ baby crying ] ric : you hear that ? no ? yeah . me , neither . nina , on the other hand -- [ crying stops ] madeline : this plan really does come with its costs , does n't it ? my daughter 's already - fragile sanity . ric : well , rendering nina incompetent was your idea in the first place , remember ? madeline : i know , i know . ric : well , so , unless you 've got a sudden attack of conscience or you have a better plan in mind ... madeline : no , unfortunately , i do n't . this is the best plan of action right now . i just wish we could do it without hurting nina in the process . ric : you know , when you , uh -- when you first pitched this idea to me , you made it sound like nina was gon na get something out of it . namely , another stint in shadybrook would do her fragile state of mind a world of good . madeline : what 's your point ? ric : well , i mean , at first , i thought you were just kind of rationalizing , but now i 'm not so sure . i 'm thinking that maybe you do think her being in an institution is a good thing . and if so , why ? madeline : is n't it obvious ? nina is clearly unstable . ric : yeah , but what made nina unstable , huh ? what happened to her in the first place , madeline ? [ scene_break ] michael : i want to set up a time for someone to visit avery . sonny : if -- if this is about sabrina , i got no problem with that . she cares about avery , and she 's great with avery . michael : um , actually , i 'm not asking for sabrina . sonny : who , then ? michael : avery 's aunt , denise . [ scene_break ] ric : the thing about adults is that when they start to experience mental instability as adults , it 's usually because of something that happened to them when they were younger -- some incident that warped their minds and caused them to careen off , unbalanced for the rest of their lives . madeline : interesting . what else did you learn on the internet today ? ric : your daughter 's a human wrecking ball , madeline , okay ? now , little nina must 've been pretty damaged by ... by what ? what happened to her ? madeline : let it go . ric : no . do you want this money or not ? madeline : of course . ric : okay , then you better tell me right now what happened to her that pushed her over the edge so that we can take advantage of it . madeline : hey , you know what ? this baby thing that you 're doing is progressing nicely . why do n't you run after that and stop dwelling on nina 's past ? come on . dwell on me instead . [ moans ] [ scene_break ] silas : oh . okay . just take it easy . nina : okay , it 's kind of hard to do when -- when i 'm hearing the cries of invisible babies . you know , it was -- it was as clear as your voice right now , but it was in my head . silas : that 's not the only explanation . nina : it is the most likely explanation . silas : no . that 's not true . any doctor would tell you they need a lot more information before they can make that kind of diagnosis . nina : but , silas , it 's like ever since i woke up from my coma , i 've been circling the drain . i mean , before , i was hell - bent on -- on revenge , but at least i was lucid . silas : you know , the only thing i know for sure -- you 've changed . i know you 're still hurting , but you are not that same angry person that lashes out at every perceived slight , that just acts on their wildest impulses . you should be positive , because you have come a long way , nina . nina : well , what if i have n't come far enough ? what if i 'm as sick as i ever was ? and -- and what if the crying that i 'm hearing , what if it means something else ? silas : like what ? nina : what if it means that i really did kidnap baby avery ? [ scene_break ] alexis : denise is still there ? julian : every time i turn around . why she has to live with me -- [ stammers ] she 's a grown woman . i mean , why ca n't she get her own apartment ? alexis : aw , i 'm sorry you 're not getting along with your sister . julian : she 's a ruffian . alexis : and you 're so dainty ? julian : the woman leaves dirty towels all over the bathroom floor . not to mention she 's eating me out of house and home . as an example , i 'm coming home late from work last night . all i 'm doing is craving a cold slice of pizza . i reach into the fridge , and ... it 's gone . denise ate it . alexis : you ate carbs ? julian : i 've been very stressed lately . alexis : well , you should 've called me . i would 've eaten the pizza . and i 'm very helpful at relieving stress . julian : really ? alexis : mm - hmm . julian : so you know a real - estate agent with a lead on a place i can install denise ? alexis : that 's not what i was talking about . julian : well , maybe she does n't even need an apartment . with any luck at all , her new boyfriend will take her off my hands . alexis : whoa - ho ! she got a new boyfriend already ? julian : mm - hmm . alexis : she works fast . who 's the lucky guy ? julian : [ sighs ] franco . [ silverware clanks ] alexis : poor denise . [ scene_break ] scott : it 's funny you should bring up that recording , because i was just talking about it with our new commissioner , jordan . she 's a firecracker . i got a good feeling about her . franco : mm . what were you two crazy kids saying about that tape ? scott : well , we were [ sighs ] she 's got this hankering to put sonny corinthos away . i see great things -- jordy and i . [ knock on door ] scott : enter ! mrs. shipley : da baldwin , commissioner ashford would like you to stop by her office at your earliest convenience . scott : ooh , speaking of the devil . uh , my son and i were just talking about -- have you met my son , franco ? mrs. shipley : i 'm familiar with his record . franco : all the charges were dropped . scott : ah , yes , yes . yes , they were . um , mrs. shipley here is my executive assistant . she keeps me organized , she keeps me on track , and it 's a full - time job , is n't it ? mrs. shipley : on that note , the commissioner 's waiting . scott : okay , listen . hang around a bit , and i 'll buy you a steak sandwich . franco : uh , hey , listen , um ... take your time . [ scene_break ] morgan : all you had to say was `` franco . `` i mean , the man 's a serial killer . it probably would 've scared silas right off . denise : i 'm not really dating franco . morgan : yeah , i know . kiki told me . the whole idea of pretending to date was so that franco could make nina jealous and so that you could get rid of silas . so why did n't you do that ? denise : is n't it obvious ? i gave silas the name of the guy that i -- that i think about all day , the guy that 's on my mind all night , the guy that i really want to be with -- you . morgan : you told silas you were with me ... denise : yeah . 'cause i ca n't get you out of my head , morgan . you 're all i think about . you 're all i want , and you ... [ sighs ] you got my heart in your hands . morgan : denise -- denise : no . i - i - i know that i got to forget about you , i know . but i ca n't . the more that i try , the worse it gets , and ... maybe you could help me . morgan : how ? denise : you could tell me how you did it , how you snuffed out your feelings for me . morgan : [ sighs ] denise : please . maybe i could learn a thing or two . morgan : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i ca n't . i ca n't do that . denise : why not ? i mean , look at me . i 'm begging you here . morgan : i want you now as much as i always have . good god , i ca n't get you out of my head , either . [ scene_break ] sonny : i already had this conversation with morgan . michael : i know . kiki told me , but we thought it was worth one more shot . carly : of course -- from someone who has more sway with sonny . michael : i have no idea why this is so important to kiki , but it is . maybe because her mother died , and even though we all detested ava , she obviously did n't . and denise is ava 's sister , and -- and she 's all that kiki has left . so kiki wanted to do something nice for denise . sonny : okay , michael , i 'm more interested in why you 're making this effort for kiki after what she and morgan did to you . michael : [ sighs ] for aj -- avery . it does n't do her any good holding on to grudges . [ sighs ] look , so -- so ... was kiki right in asking me to go to bat for denise ? will you let her see avery ? sonny : michael , i know it was hard for you to come here , and i know you 're doing something kind and nice for kiki . that 's not lost on me . but , you know , avery 's my daughter . i 'm her father . i got to protect her . michael : from denise ? sonny : okay , denise is a stranger . her behavior is questionable . i barely know her , and what i do know of her , she makes me suspicious , michael . michael : [ scoffs ] okay . sonny : okay ? michael : i 'm guessing you feel the same way ? carly : yes . michael , in the space of one conversation , that woman was pushy , insulting , and dismissive . i - i feel bad for kiki , i really do . but the best thing she could do is cut denise off . michael : all right , well , this is the last thing kiki wants to hear . sonny : okay , well , here 's what you tell kiki . you tell her that i said that there 's something about denise that i do n't like , and i do n't want her anywhere near my kids . [ scene_break ] denise : please do n't tell me you feel something you really do n't . morgan : you 're with me all the time . i ca n't shake you , and i do n't know what to do about it . denise : nothing . that 's what we do . morgan : i know . anything else would hurt kiki . denise : neither of us wants to do that . morgan : i should go . denise : yeah , you should . morgan : i do n't want to leave , though . denise : do n't . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] julian : tonight , i need some distance and to not spend one extra moment with franco than is absolutely necessary . alexis : we all know that franco is a really bad guy . maybe we should warn denise about it . julian : eh , it 's too late . she would n't listen . i do n't want to get involved . alexis : it was n't multiple choice . julian : yeah , well , the answer is still `` all of the above . `` alexis : okay , so , look on the brighter side . julian : and what could that possibly be ? alexis : maybe they 're just hooking up . julian : oh ... i am trying to eat here . alexis : [ chuckling ] sorry . you know , she 's only been here for a minute , so , i mean , it ca n't be too serious . julian : mm , franco stopped by earlier this morning . it looked pretty legit to me . alexis : ah , well , he 's probably on the rebound , trying to get over nina now that she 's no longer available because she 's moved on with my ex . [ scene_break ] silas : what makes you think you took avery ? nina : the police never found out who did it . silas : well , there 's no evidence that implicated you . nina : maybe i covered it up . silas : without you knowing it ? nina : yeah . i mean , maybe that 's what i did . maybe i blocked it out . maybe that 's part of my illness , that i - i took her , and i ca n't remember . silas : so you took avery . you hid her for weeks , all the while keeping her clean , fed , and healthy , and , at some point , you decided to return her to my apartment -- all without your own knowledge . nina : yeah . [ chuckles ] i mean , stranger things have happened . silas : i do n't think they have , especially the part about you returning her to my apartment . why would you do that ? nina : maybe i panicked , you know ? maybe i wanted her to be somewhere safe . silas : it still does n't make any sense . nina : yeah , but you ca n't rule it out , right ? silas : you did n't do this . i 'm positive beyond a shadow of a doubt that you did n't take avery . nina : then how do you explain the blanket ? [ scene_break ] ric : you like that ? madeline : what is it ? ric : oh , it 's the , uh -- the blanket that baby avery had on her when she was kidnapped . i had a , uh -- a replica made of it . madeline : i did n't know blankets had replicas . ric : mm , they do when they 're monogrammed . madeline : i see . ric : mm . yeah , i had this one made up . the original was never found . i had it planted here in the room , and i took it out right as soon as nina was freaking out about the baby crying . madeline : how efficient . ric : [ chuckles ] you know what ? not only does nina think that she 's going crazy . she actually thinks that she kidnapped that baby a second time . madeline : [ sighs ] ric : the money 's practically ours . madeline : let 's not be too confident . it 's a good plan , but it 's not foolproof . ric : well , i 'm not worried . and if you saw nina earlier , you would n't be , either . madeline : is she that bad ? ric : nina 's far too fragile to continue much longer . pretty soon , she 's gon na be back in shadybrook , and she 's not gon na know what hit her -- or who . madeline : not really nina that i 'm worried about . all that it would take to make this plan just totally disintegrate would be for nina to share her problems with somebody who really believes in her sanity . ric : like who ? come on . she -- she 's far too proud to show her weakness to franco . and she does n't have any friends . madeline , you got to trust me . i 've made sure that nina relies on me for everything . she 's isolated without me . she has nobody .

[ scene_break ] sonny : do i still love carly ? you tell me . i married her three times , threw her out of her own home twice . never touched her , never hit her , but i -- i shot her in the head accidentally . i got two other women pregnant . one i moved across the hall from carly . does that sound like love to you ? because when i describe it , i ca n't believe i did that to any woman , especially the mother of my children . sonny : this thing i 'm supposed to have , this bipolar disorder , does n't excuse the choices i 've made . lainey : i agree , but we need to honestly examine how those choices were influenced by what may be a bipolar condition . sonny : i do n't see what difference that is going to make . lainey : when you shot carly , were you having a breakdown ? sonny : no . lainey : was anything else going on ? sonny : well , i was a little shaky because lorenzo alcazar -- he found out i had some issues and he was messing with my head . he wanted to steal my wife , take over my business . he even hired a woman to impersonate my first wife , lily . lainey : the one who died in a car bomb in front of you ? sonny : he wanted me to believe that lily was haunting me and that i was seeing ghosts . lainey : that would be unsettling . sonny : if you 're stupid enough to buy into it . lainey : only you do n't strike me as being stupid . sonny : i acted like an idiot . before -- before i figured out what was going on , i had pushed it , you know , too far . i pushed carly away . she was pregnant , she got stranded in a storm . she was going into labor . i went after her , and i got to where she was , got to the house , and i -- i heard her screaming . so i busted down the door , and i saw alcazar standing over her , so i shot him without thinking . the bullet went through him and it hit carly . lainey : did you intend to hurt your wife ? sonny : no . i was just trying to protect her and -- but when i saw her lying there with the blood , and i realized what i had done , all i could think about -- lainey : all you could think about ? sonny : was that carly was my whole life and i killed her . [ scene_break ] carly : look , i -- i 'm not saying that sonny and i have a healthy relationship . it 's basically a disaster . but it 's an equal opportunity disaster because i 'm just as bad for sonny as he is for me . jason : makes you feel better ? carly : yeah , it does . it does because it 's a pattern . look , sonny wants me , but he ca n't accept me for who i am . i want him , but i have to lie to get him , and he always finds out about the lie and he breaks up with me . it 's just a vicious cycle . but i learned at rose lawn that i can break the cycle , and my life does n't have to revolve around sonny . jason : and you 've done a really good job at that . carly : i have . jason : right . carly : and then jax came along and -- look , i know you do n't like him , but he cared about me , you know , and he made me feel important and he made me feel valuable , and we were really good for each other . jason : is that why you lied for him ? carly : i guess . you know , i -- i really believed jax when he said that john was better off with him . and i really believed that he wanted to be with me because of me . and then when sonny ordered that hit on you , i thought , man , this guy is past redemption , that any good i ever saw in him was just a lie . but there is good in him and i just saw it , and jax is gone , and , jason , you have got to stop me -- you have got to stop me from running right back to him .

[ sam laughs ] ric : and viola 's got to watch her like a hawk . she 's never had swim lessons . sam : really ? ric : yeah . sam : even living by the lake like this ? ric : yeah . sam : even with alexis , the overprotective mother ? how 'd that happen ? ric : well , last summer alexis and i discussed the whole swim lesson thing , and , of course , she won and kristina wound up going to art - and - music day camp instead , and she did n't have swim lessons , so -- look , we did n't live here at the time . sam : she needs swim lessons immediately , period . ric : well , look , i agree . hey , do you want some -- some lemonade ? i was going to get some . sam : yeah , i 'd love some . ric : yeah ? sam : thank you . alexis : hi . sam : hey . alexis : did you go swimming ? sam : yeah , it was wonderful . alexis : oh , good . i 'm glad someone 's using the lake for more than a view . ric : okay , here you go . sam : thank you . alexis : hi . ric : how you doing ? alexis : you went swimming , too ? ric : oh , yes , i did . kristina loved the water . we could barely get her out of it .

[ scene_break ] lainey : does carly blame you for shooting her ? sonny : she says it was an accident . lainey : do you disagree ? sonny : i fired a gun in the same room while my wife was having labor . i 'm -- i 'm responsible for that bullet . lainey : what happened after the shooting , when carly was recovering ? sonny : alcazar was determined to take her away from me , and he did for a little while . lainey : did you resent that ? sonny : what do you think ? lainey : the point is to explore what you think . [ sonny sighs ] sonny : carly and i had gotten to -- i mean , we 've been through a lot , and i thought we were at a place where we could trust each other . and then she let alcazar come between us . i 'm not saying i 'm blameless , but alcazar was determined to destroy our marriage , and she let him . lainey : what about you ? how did you respond ? sonny : after i saw carly kissing alcazar , i turned to another woman , got her pregnant . not the right thing to do . sam -- she was lonely and vulnerable . i did not intend to hurt her , but i ended up doing that . lainey : we may be seeing a pattern here . sonny : yeah ? lainey : yeah . you love carly , but when problems arise , you turn away , seek solace with another woman . sonny : you 're not saying this is the same thing that 's going on between me and emily , are you ? lainey : does she fit the pattern ? i mean , is that why you mentioned her ? sonny : i did n't get together with emily to spite carly . as a matter of fact , i -- i did n't want to fall in love with emily . it just kind of happened . she wanted to be with me . she made me happy . happier than i 've been in a long time -- until the breakdown hit . lainey : assuming the breakdown is a symptom of bipolar disorder , and assuming we can get the illness under control and you wo n't have to protect the woman you love from your mood swings , who do you envision your future with ?

[ scene_break ] silas : forget i said anything . you made your position pretty clear . just -- you wo n't accept that a surgeon like drake would possibly seek revenge on the kid he blames for killing his son . sam : was patrick devastated by the loss of his son ? yes . did he kill rafe ? no . silas : oh , and you know this because -- sam : i asked him . silas : you asked him ? sam : yes , i did . and he denied it . silas : [ scoffs ] of course . what else was he gon na do ? own up to it ? sam : [ sighs ] silas : [ scoffs ] admit that he murdered rafe on the table ? you 're a good investigator , sam , but you 're wrong about this one . you 're too blinded by your friendship with drake to admit that sometimes friends lie to one another . sam : if patrick were lying to me , why did he admit that he did think about hurting rafe on that table , just the way you said ? [ scene_break ] patrick : anna , there are factors -- there 's -- there 's just -- there 's things that you do n't -- you do n't know about . anna : right , well , i mean , you were going through such a transition in your life . you were about to marry sabrina , for god 's sake , and robin -- she 'd been alone and through so much for two years . it -- it takes a lot to get people back together again . duke and i -- we struggle to communicate , but we work at it because we love each other . patrick : yeah , and -- and if robin was here , i 'm sure that we would do that , but she is n't . anna : well , if you did n't want her to leave , why did n't you tell her ? patrick : of course , i told her that . of course , i told her that . it 's just -- [ sighs ] robin 's a very loyal person , and that 's why we love her , and i 've tried really hard to understand her attachments . anna : what are you -- like her work in africa ? is that ... ? patrick : she has n't put her family first , and that 's the point . anna : i understand . you just lost your son , and you needed her . she should have been here at least for that . is there something you 're not telling me ? you can trust me . what is it ? patrick .

[ scene_break ] levi : are you mad ? why would i narc on myself ? it 's suicide . i 'd be getting myself thrown out of the country . nathan : because making that call makes me look bad , and who stands to gain from me looking bad ? you . levi : max , have you ever heard a more narcissistic load of crap ? first , he accuses me of calling the judge so that you 'd lose your daughter , and now i 've called immigration on myself to get myself thrown out of the country . i guess i 'm just stupid . maxie : no , you 're one of the most compassionate people on the planet . levi : so then i guess your detective just wanted to hurt us . nathan : i do n't want to hurt anybody -- least of all maxie . maxie : well , you did hurt me , nathan , and i 've been more than fair to you . i mean , i let you stay here after levi and i got home , which meant we had way less privacy . nathan : you needed my rent money . maxie : so we made it work , but you 're not the ideal tenant . i mean , you 've been picking on levi from the beginning . you 've made this a really tense and negative atmosphere , and when levi pointed that out , you just got nastier . i mean , i spend half my time around here trying to keep the peace . i mean , i can barely sleep because i 'm so stressed out , and you went behind my back to try to hurt somebody that i care about . nathan , i - i want you to leave . nathan : i have n't lied to you about anything . maxie : please do not make this any harder than it is . nathan : if i only -- if i 've brought anything up , it 's only because i 'm worried . maxie : about what ? nathan : about him ! levi : you know , i 'm not a violent man , mate , but i 'm about to make an exception . now get out of here before i throw you out . nathan : look , maxie has asked me not to hurt you , and that is the only reason you 're alive right now . and for the record , i know levi 's up to no good , and i 'm gon na prove it .

[ scene_break ] felix : come on , ms. stella . from the look on your face , you got a story to tell . you got to give me the details about this man who got away . curtis : yeah , i , uh , kind of want to know a little bit more about him , too . stella : [ scoffs ] [ beeper goes off ] stella : just some youthful puppy love , that 's all . felix : oh . duty calls . i got to get back to another patient , but do n't doubt i will be back to get them deets later . you have a good day , ms. stella . stella : you , too . thank you , felix . [ door closes ] stella : why are you looking at me like that ? you know i 'm not at my best . curtis : no , you 're beautiful . i 've known you my whole life . you raised me and tommy . i just never once thought about your life before then . stella : children never think of adults as people in their own right . curtis : well , i mean , i 'm not a child anymore , but i 'm embarrassed i 've been acting like one by not asking about your past . so , who is this guy , auntie ? stella : [ scoffs ] it was long ago , curtis . no use dwelling on it . here , just take these . curtis : why ? i saw how these flowers affected you , so he was obviously someone important . if he 's important to you , he 's important to me . please ? stella : [ sighs ] his name was marcus . and , yes , he did mean a lot to me once upon a time . we went together when i was in college out west . he proposed to me , and i accepted . curtis : you ... were engaged , auntie ? wha- ? so why did it end ? stella : because of you .

[ scene_break ] jordan : it 's clear as day that i make stella 's life harder . i 'm making her stressed , you know , about the man that she considers to be her son . anna : yeah , but you 're not the reason that she had the stroke . that 's not how it works . jordan : no , no , no . stella -- stella went through a lot of pain after thomas died . look , we all did . it 's pain that i caused . anna : i get that you feel guilty and it makes you feel uneasy . that -- that 's valid . but do n't let past mistakes poison your future . and do n't keep finding reasons why you should n't be with the person that makes you happy . [ scene_break ] curtis : you did n't get married because of me ? stella : oh , honey . i -- i said that wrong . marcus proposed to me during my senior year in college , and that 's when your mother 's illness took a turn . and we both knew she was n't gon na be able to raise you and thomas without help . somebody needed to step up . so i did . i dropped out of college and moved right back to baltimore to be with you boys . curtis : that 's , uh -- that 's horrible . stella : hey ! i thought our little family did just fine ! better than fine ! curtis : oh , no . we did . that 's not what i meant . i meant ... [ scoffs ] ... i - i never thought you gave up so much for tommy and me . and what about this guy -- what was his name , marcus ? how come he did n't come with you ? stella : he had a job offer in san francisco -- good job . and this was before texting and facebook and all that were a thing . long - distance relationships were n't feasible . so i had a choice to make . i could move to san francisco and start a life with marcus , or i could be there for my sister , you , and your brother . for my family . in the end , it was no decision at all . [ scene_break ] griffin : sam , hey . i can , uh , take you to the exam room whenever you 're ready . sam : but you 're a neurologist . jason : where 's dr. bensch ? griffin : oh , he got called into surgery . i offered to cover his patients . sam : you know what ? i do n't want to waste your time . jason : sam . sam : it 's okay . griffin : no . no , no , not at all . uh , nurse webber here will take care of your blood work . i 've had a chance to look over your chart , though . with your symptoms , i 'd like to run a few neuro scans if that 's okay with you . sam : w - wait a minute . you want to do neurological tests on me ? jason : that sounds serious . griffin : oh , it 's just a precaution , i assure you . look , neuro scans are what i do . it 'll rule out anything serious , and the procedure 's quick and painless . it 's better than dragging you back here , right ? jason : he does have a good point . sam : okay . yeah . gosh , yeah . i guess so . griffin : yeah , great . come on . you 'll be in good hands . jason : i 'll be right here . sam : okay . griffin : come on . [ scene_break ] carly : you 're telling me that you 're willing to let go of what ava did to morgan ? sonny : hell no , but you 're a lot better person than i am . carly : if -- if letting ava get away with destroying our son makes me a better person , leave me out of it , sonny ! sonny : i understand , carly , but i 'm -- look . not a day goes by that i do n't want to squeeze the life out of ava with my bare hands . carly : yeah ! sonny : but then i got to think about avery . little girl 's gon na have to grow up knowing that her mother killed her brother . you want her to find out that we 're the reason that her mother 's dead ? only way to beat the bitch ... is to not let her consume our thoughts . now , i 'm willing to try to do that . are you ? carly : before i agree to let this go ... i want to go visit morgan 's grave . [ scene_break ] andré : here . give me a call . and good luck finding your place in the world . ava : so , what now ?

[ scene_break ] curtis : i am sorry my relationship with jordan has caused you so much stress . stella : i 'm sure you think i 'm interfering . but i put too much time and effort into raising you not to be invested in seeing your life turn out right . curtis : you most certainly did invest more than -- more than i ever knew . stella : it 's the sacrifices you make for family . that 's what makes us who we are .

sonny : the thing is i do n't need the deal that badly , diane . if they ca n't pay what we 're asking , no deal . i mean , these are coffee brokers .

[ scene_break ] claudia : you know what 's funny about you asking me to meet you here ? the last time i tried to give you my business , you had me thrown out . it 's nice to see you 've changed your mind . carly : i have a business proposal for you . one that will get you access to sonny . [ scene_break ] spinelli : while it 's evident that maximista is troubled , it 's been proven most unwise to just show up and demand -- maxie : i do n't have time to beg , okay ? i came by to tell you guys that lulu is at defcon one , and if someone does n't do something fast , she 's going to blow everyone 's life to hell , including her own .

[ scene_break ] johnny : why not take this to my lawyers ? is n't that how deals are supposed to work ? mac : i do n't trust your lawyers and neither should you . ric and trevor lansing are loyal to your father . they do what 's in anthony zacchara 's best interest , not yours . johnny : my freedom is in my father 's best interest . mac : both men are afraid of your father . they tell him what he wants to hear , that they can get you acquitted , but they ca n't . johnny : and i 'm supposed to take your word on that ? mac : sooner or later , we 're going to find your accomplice , and when we do , you better hope they do n't roll over on you just to save himself .

[ scene_break ] mac : you 'd be smart to think about it . trevor : commissioner , you would n't be questioning my client now would you ? without the benefit of counsel . johnny : actually , the commissioner just offered me a deal . [ scene_break ] claudia : now , was n't it you who accused me of being a stalker obsessed with sonny ? carly : a lot has happened since then . claudia : look , carly , i ca n't even imagine what you 're going through , but if this is about michael , i 'm really not sure how i can help you . carly : this is n't about michael . it 's about life after michael . my husband is in business with that witch kate howard . claudia : you know that sonny is not going to stick around that one . carly : i know that . and he 's going to be looking for someone more exciting . put you in the proximity , and everybody gets what they want . claudia : you must be really mad at him if you want to use me as revenge against him . carly : i want jax out of business with kate howard by any means necessary . that 's where you come in . [ scene_break ] sasha : so what do you know about my client ? sonny : andrei karpov ? player in the russian mafia . sasha : you 're mistaken . mr. karpov is a successful businessman . sonny : good for him . sasha : my client is intrigued with the port charles area . he wants to establish a presence here , and he hopes that you , mr. corinthos , can help . sonny : as i mentioned , i 'm retired . sasha : mr. karpov is aware of your career change . all he asks is a meeting to discuss options . sonny : well , maybe i need to hear from mr. karpov himself . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you made it . nadine : i told you we 'd be back , and apparently so are the patients . nikolas : yeah . look , i know how valuable your time is . i just want you both to know that i appreciate you spending some of it here . leyla : oh , yeah , of course , but you should be thanking nadine . she 's your biggest cheerleader . and she 's come up with a pretty good sales pitch , too . nadine : well , i simply pointed out the spiritual rewards of volunteering to help those less fortunate . nikolas : right . leyla : which i fell for . i should get started . nadine : um , i 'm going to see if i can find anything to tie dr. hunter to the counterfeit drugs . i mean , right now it 's an overheard phone call and a hunch , but i have a feeling that -- nikolas : [ whispering ] all right , he 's here . nadine : oh , okay . um , so it looks like -- matt : oh , we 're busy . i 'm sorry . did i interrupt something ? just seems like an oddly public place to be having such a private conversation now , you know . nikolas : we were actually talking about you . [ scene_break ] robin : eli love is a dog . anna : he 's a dog . and i am not feeling angry or deeply offended . the whole thing is just incredibly sad . robin : it 's probably why they say you should n't meet your idols . they never live up to your expectations . anna : obviously , i felt that he spoke to my heart . and his lyrics are so beautiful , and he 's just so charismatic and vulnerable on stage . i know i joked about the whole groupie thing , but i honestly believed that we connected on some deep level . it 's ridiculous . robin : well , first of all , you 're no one 's groupie . second of all , he was as big of a fan of yours as you were of his . anna : okay , maybe we did have the mutual admiration thing going . and of course the sex -- oh , that 's -- sorry . sorry . because he has been such a horrible dweeb and just so shallow , i kind of feel like i need to justify the whole thing on some level . robin : well , i 'm sorry he disappointed you . anna : no , you know , it was just the wake - up call i needed . really . we were both being shallow . i , at least , knew it . robin : oh , please . do not compare yourself to that dweeb . anna : yeah , i mean , you know , age is just a number , right ? it does n't mean anything . i mean , who really cares ? being a grandmother is a beautiful thing . it 's a beautiful gift from you to me , you lovely thing . i 'm so excited , and i am so grateful that i 'm actually young enough to be able to watch your child grow up . thank you . patrick : well , i 'm waiting for x - rays , but it looks like it could be a hairline fracture in eli 's jaw . in that case , he wo n't be able to sing , and i could be in serious trouble . [ scene_break ] jason : how many times did you see logan the day he died ? maxie : three . i ran into him on the elm street pier after i left visiting spinelli at the hospital . he was talking to dr. hunter , the resident that treated spinelli . spinelli : yeah , his artistry as a doctor is beyond compare , but his bedside manner is lacking . maxie : he 's a jerk . but logan was a bigger jerk , so i told dr. hunter i thought logan was a loser , which was a really bad idea . but how was i supposed to know that logan was going crazy ? jason : how did logan respond to that ? maxie : he called me a slut and a lot of other not nice things , then left , and dr. hunter even said he thought he was going crazy . jason : what about the next time you saw him ? maxie : i was at work . lulu was at work , too . and so was kate . he just showed up at our office and said he was going to win lulu back . spinelli : which is completely irrational because the crabby commando is ancient history in the blonde one 's world . jason : then what ? maxie : logan gave some big speech about how great he and lulu had been until i ruined everything . jason : did lulu defend herself ? maxie : she tried to be as direct with him as possible . she told him that she was happy i had slept with logan because she never would have met johnny , and -- i mean , i realize now that that was the moment logan snapped . [ scene_break ] claudia : assuming that i want an all - access pass , what 's in it for me , and what is your plan ? carly : jax is the primary investor of `` crimson `` magazine . and i want you to buy him out . claudia : while i can see why that would work for you , but again , where 's the incentive for me ? carly : since your father 's release , you 've been wandering around port charles like you 're lost . i 'm guessing you 're not involved in the family business anymore . you could use a project to focus on , do n't you think ? claudia : oh , and you think that i should make my mark in the world of fashion ? carly : with kate and sonny engaged , sonny is going to be at `` crimson `` offices all the time . sonny has no will power . he loves temptation . and you can easily seduce him . claudia : as easily as falling out of bed ? but here 's where you 're plan hits a wall . why would i invest enormous sums of money to get access to a man i 've already had ? jax : well , this is unexpected . i ca n't imagine what you two have to talk about . claudia : carly wants me to buy your share of `` crimson . `` and i have to say that i think it 's a very intriguing proposal . jax : really ? wow . i did n't realize that my shares of `` crimson `` were for sale . i do n't think they are . i 'm sorry if carly misled you . claudia : so am i . if you change your mind , let me know . [ scene_break ] noah : hey , someone page me ? anna : yes . uh , hi . do you have a minute ? noah : for you , always . anna : okay , great . so , i 've dome something incredibly embarrassing . noah : well , considering the stupid things i 've done , i would n't worry about it . anna : yeah . i did n't tell eli that robin was pregnant . in fact , i actively hid it from him . and it turns out that my instincts were right on , because as soon as he found out i would be a grandmother , he made it very clear that i was too old for him . noah : that 's really rude . anna : i know . it 's so rude . anyway , your lovely son took exception to it , and he took a swing at eli . noah : patrick punched eli love ? anna : he decked him . noah : wow ! well , i -- i kind of like that . anna : yeah , me , too . noah : and i can assure you , you 're not too old for anything . but anyway , why do you need to feel the need to confess this to me ? anna : oh , i 'm getting there . so , it turns out that eli , he might have , like , a hairline fracture to the jaw , which means that he ca n't sing . and so his road manager has threatened to sue patrick if they have to cancel their tour . noah : oh . anna : and now i was wondering how you would feel about filling in for eli on stage one last time ? noah : oh , anna , look , i would love to help you out , but i -- i ca n't risk that . [ scene_break ] jax : you know , i do n't know what makes me angrier , the way you lied about accepting my business dealings with kate or the fact that you went behind my back to claudia zacchara , of all people . carly : it was n't a lie . it was n't . i was avoiding a fight . and since this is my problem , i figured i should come up with the solution . claudia can afford to buy you out . you wo n't lose a dime , and then kate becomes claudia 's headache . jax : next time you come up with a scheme , carly , you might want to think it through a little longer and little better . claudia 's money is dirty . a transaction with any zacchara would subject me to government investigation and approval . did you forget i plead no contest to rico charges a few years ago to save my brother and my father , because i certainly have n't . my criminal record is actually worse than sonny 's . carly : i do n't see how that can hurt -- jax : so if i am ever charged again for any kind of rico violation , i would lose everything . probably go to jail and you would lose everything . so , do you want to tell me again how brilliant your idea was ? [ scene_break ] jason : what was logan 's attitude when he left the office ? maxie : furious . no , beyond that . he had just been humiliated and totally rejected . lulu and i had to go back to work , and kate was leaving for manhattan , so lulu rode down on the elevator to get some last - minute instructions from kate . jason : which means you were alone in the office . maxie : exactly . i went to take a fax into kate 's office , and i heard the elevator doors open . i thought that maybe it was lulu or kate coming back , but it was logan . jason : was he looking for lulu ? maxie : he was looking for me . he said it was my fault , that i was the reason lulu dumped him . i 'd ruined his life . as if they would have lasted 10 minutes if logan had n't jumped into bed with me . jason : let 's just stay on track . you said logan blamed you ? maxie : yeah , i tried to talk him down . jason : what did you say ? maxie : that he could just leave , and we could forget any of that stuff had happened . i tried to pick up the phone and call security , but he lost it . jason : did you think he would kill you ? maxie : he was tearing at my clothes , saying stuff like , if i wanted him so badly , i could finally have him . he just completely lost it . i mean , i tried to fight him off , but he threw me over kate 's desk , and i must have hit my head or something . jason : do you have cuts ? do you have any bruises ? maxie : what am i , on trial ? jason : no , not yet . spinelli : stone cold , she 's been through a most grievous trauma . perhaps you should question her with just a little more sensitivity . jason : are you okay ? do you want to stop ? maxie : i 'm fine , spinelli . ahem . no , there were no visible cuts or bruises , but it hurt . jason : okay , so what happened after logan hit you ? maxie : i was lying on the ground . i looked up and i remember thinking , you know , that was it . i was trapped . i 'm going to die now . and then logan looked out the window . it 's like he sensed something . you know , now i know that he was looking at johnny 's penthouse , 'cause you can see it from kate 's office . and that 's really the last thing i remember before i lost consciousness . and when i woke up later , johnny was there . i told him about logan looking out the window , so we figured he had gone over to johnny 's penthouse . and when we got there , lulu was just kneeling over logan 's body . and he was already dead . [ scene_break ] trevor : commissioner , with all due respect , you are not the d.a . you got no business making deals . mac : i can make a plea happen , johnny . just say the word . johnny : how ? trevor : shut up . mac : logan hayes was a loose cannon . you two brawled in public days before he died . a manslaughter plea will probably get you five years . you 'll be out in two . trevor : johnny 's not going to prison . whoa . that idea is acceptable , neither to anthony zacchara , nor me . mac : two years , life without parole , or lethal injection . it 's your choice . trevor : you are not going to make any deal .

[ scene_break ] noah : i -- um -- i love being eli love . it was a fantasy fulfilled , you know ? anna : mm - hmm . noah : i just -- uh -- i liked it too much . i not only embraced the concert , i embraced his whole lifestyle , the late nights , the parties , loving the attention from -- uh , beautiful women like you . anna : that is a problem , why ? noah : i 'm an alcoholic . and eli is n't , or so he tells himself . so when i became eli , i -- anna : you really became eli . noah : yeah . had a drink and then another drink and -- um -- i 'm just fortunate that the concert came so soon and eli 's entourage left town , you know ? otherwise , i -- i might 've hurt some of my patients , going into the o.r . drunk . anyway , so i -- i checked myself into rehab and i got sober and when i got out , i felt like i had to get my priorities straight , which is why i went to work for doctors without borders . i 'm thankful for that every day of my life . anna : you 're a good man . noah : no , i 'm just a slow learner . i -- uh -- it took me years to figure it out , you know ? and in the process , i lost any chance i could have for a real relationship with my son . so -- um -- i 'm a work in progress , you know ? my sobriety is my lifeline and as much as i would dearly love to have an encore as eli love , i ca n't risk it . [ scene_break ] jax : hey . kate : hey , i did n't expect to see you back . jax : i just wanted to give you a heads up . you may get a call from claudia zacchara . kate : i really do n't like the sound of that . jax : yeah , it was one of carly 's ideas , yeah . she wanted claudia to buy my shares of `` crimson , `` so just -- kate : uh , okay , look , jax , what you do in your personal life is your business , but you need to handle carly . jax : yeah , yeah , yeah . kate : i will not let her sabotage `` crimson . `` my reputation is already on thin ice . jax : okay , i understand . kate : no , if you even think about selling to claudia zacchara , i will take you to court and sue you for breach of contract and bad faith . jax : i 'm not selling to claudia zacchara . and if i were to sell to anyone , i would have the decency to tell you first . and just for the record , kate , do n't ever threaten me again .

blair : come on , really ? can you just give it a rest ? todd : what do you want ? blair : well , the way i see it , tonight can go one of two ways -- you can act like a complete ass and completely embarrass our daughter , or we can -- todd : do you really think , blair , that i would do that ? blair : yes . todd : i suppose it 's possible , given our history . blair : possible ? todd : this night is too important to starr . she 's worked too hard for you to screw it all up . blair : do n't you dare put this off on me as if it were my fault , todd . todd : so i suppose that you and i are just gon na have to get along , if nothing else , for the sake of our daughter . blair : okay . well , i 'm glad we are on the same page about that . look at you . todd manning -- wow , wow , wow ! starr said that you 've really done well for yourself . todd : she said that ? blair : mm - hmm . todd : she never says anything about you to me . blair : well , then there 's a lot that you do n't know . there 's been a lot of changes since you left town . todd : why ? what changed ? blair : why do n't we talk about it later , like after starr 's ... you know , show . i mean , just the two of us , if you are available . todd : what would tomás say about that ? blair : tomas is n't here now , is he . he 's not coming . spinelli : i feel compelled to point out to you that your suspicions about heather are completely sound . maxie : patrick ! i 'm so glad you picked up . patrick : i 'm about to go into a consult . do you need something ? maxie : well , i 'm sure you have a full day ahead of you with patients and surgeries and -- patrick : after this consult , i 'm taking the rest of the night off , and i 'm gon na kick back in front of the tv . maxie : oh , so you do n't have plans tonight . patrick : no , i do n't . you want to join me ?

todd : okay . blair : thank you so much for the lovely room . carly : you 're welcome . and i 'll see you tonight at the haunted star . blair : you 're going ? carly : yes , my boyfriend 's one of the owners . blair : oh , johnny zacchara -- that 's right . starr speaks so fondly of him . she really likes him . carly : well , johnny is very fond of starr . blair : oh , great . well , i will see you then , and -- who knows ? -- maybe we can throw back a few . carly : i 'd love to . blair : great . todd . carly : see you later . blair : bye . carly : okay , look -- there was an accident , a mix - up , whatever -- please do not take it out on johnny . todd : johnny who ? dante : is everything okay ? lulu : yes . bill . dante : ah . great . more here , huh ? lulu : dante ... i know what you 're saying about spending money . and i realize we have to be careful . i just -- i want you to be patient with me . dante : i am trying . i just -- i 've never seen that much money on an article of clothing before . lulu : it 's huge , it 's huge . but the haunted star is gon na be huge , too . and i think you 'll see that . i mean , you 're coming tonight , right ? dante : yeah . i mean , if -- if you still want me to . lulu : stop it . i love you . i want you to be there . dante : i love you , too . i know we 're having a bit of a rough patch right now . lulu : yeah . i 'm not a fan of the rough patch . dante : no , me neither . but we will work it out , right ? we always do . i mean , we do kind of have forever . i 'm gon na get dressed for work . i 'll see you tonight . heather : i wonder how long it 'll take before lulu takes your advice and drops dante the way you dropped anna . luke : it 's a big mistake dragging lulu into this , heather . i mean , you can mess with me , but when it comes to my kids , i will never forgive you . heather : well , what was i supposed to do ? lulu was getting too close . but not as close as anna . i worked really hard on her letter . `` dear slim ... `` luke : `` i know you 've got the p.d . on my tail , but you 're wasting their time and yours . i did n't kill anthony . you know that . i left because i knew it would n't work out for us . we 'd burn hot and fast , and then i 'd get bored and look elsewhere . it 's ugly , but it 's me . better you found out now than down the line when splitting would be a lot messier . we were good roommates but nothing more . take care . `` anna : okay . well , that settles that , then . olivia : i take full responsibility for this , okay ? you got to keep up the pressure on heather . spinelli : look , i fear my efforts may not yield that much . i mean , heather is certain to be more careful now that she 's been alerted to our suspicions . and , you know , my work could be deleterious to your relationship with steven lars . steve . olivia : thank you . heather is the only one that still calls him that , no matter how many times he asks her not to . spinelli : might that mean that he would be receptive to your concerns about his mother ? olivia : just the opposite . we had a huge blowup about it , but i know that heather is up to something . spinelli : what is fueling your suspicions ? i mean , has something changed since her release ? olivia : um , i went over to his place to patch things up , i see some creepy guy skulking around in the hallway , i ask heather if she knows him , she completely denies it . spinelli : maybe it 's one of her internet dates . olivia : spinelli , it would be a miracle if that woman got one internet date , let alone two . but on my way out , the guy was just pulling away , and i managed to snap a picture of his license plate with my camera , so i assume that 's enough to run a trace on this guy ? spinelli : well , assuming said guy is the owner of the vehicle he was driving , yeah . olivia : if this guy winds up being some lonely single who enjoys dating mental patients of a certain age , i will totally give it up . but i 've got to know . heather : i had all kinds of ideas for anna 's letter . i did several versions . one even suggested that she go back with robert scorpio . but then i decided to keep it brief and brutal . luke : heather , you ca n't keep this up . heather : sure i can . luke : the longer you keep me here , the more trips you make out here to feed me , the greater the chance somebody is gon na catch you or find me . heather : what other choice do i have ? it 's the only way i could give you time to consider our relationship . luke : our relationship is captive and captor ! apart from that , nothing 's changed ! heather : well , then maybe it 's high time it did . carly : johnny who ? what do you mean `` johnny who `` ? the johnny you keep threatening to take down . todd : oh , no , please . i 'm ... no longer concerned with johnny small - potatoes . carly : okay . since when ? todd : tomas is not here . carly : blair left town without her boyfriend . todd : yeah , and she came here , to my room , to tell me all about it . she 's done with that jackass . she 's finally come to her senses . she wants to be with me ! carly : okay , that 's great . but let 's not jump the gun , okay ? blair coming without tomás is a great sign , but did she actually tell you she wants to get back together with you ? todd : no , she said she wants to talk tonight , just the two of us , and that , in blair - ese , blairbonics , that means `` i love you always , and i always have , and i always will . `` johnny : hey , lulu , do you mind taking the -- detective falconeri . if you 're looking for your wife , she 's not here . dante : no , i 'm here to see you , johnny . johnny : oh . you here to wish me luck ? dante : do not send flowers to my wife . johnny : okay . anything else ? dante : yeah , chocolates , stuffed animals , singing telegrams , anything you might feel moved to send , do n't . johnny : what 's the big deal ? she 's my partner . dante : and she 's my wife , and she 's your ex . johnny : exactly -- she 's my ex , which is okay with me , because -- and now pay attention -- i 'm very happy with carly . dante : would carly be happy with you sending roses to lulu ? johnny : carly knows she has nothing to worry about , and neither do you . but if you keep acting like a putz , you will , and not because of me . dante : just remember what i said , johnny . anna : is everything all right ? lulu : i heard from my dad . maxie : lulu 's completely remodeled . she says it 's amazing . [ computer beeps ] spinelli : oh , i have a hit on the license - plate number of heather 's mysterious gentleman caller . olivia : okay . well , who is it ? spinelli : ar -- archibald boles . olivia : i do n't know who that is . spinelli : yeah , no , but i -- i do . he was tangentially involved in lisa niles ' murder . olivia : i thought matt hunter killed lisa niles . spinelli : uh , yes , but as you may remember , first mate briggs originally confessed to the crime in her suicide note . olivia : yeah , but that letter was a fake . spinelli : yes , exactly -- by master forger archie boles . olivia : the same archie boles ? spinelli : he suits your description . olivia : so what the hell is heather webber doing with a forger ? anna : i got a letter from him , too . he was -- he was pretty clear . lulu : wow . i -- i know that he was getting cold feet ... when he was thinking about telling tracy about how he wanted to be with you and not her , but when i left him on the haunted star , he seemed like he was ready to make the commitment . anna : yeah , i think maybe we were just all asking too much of him then . lulu : yeah , but taking off ? i mean , i know he does that all the time and he 's very uncomfortable with messy , emotional situations , but ... i just thought that he cared too much about you and tracy to leave you guys hanging . anna : oh , you know what ? i disagree with that entirely . i think it 's one thing for him to go off and leave tracy or myself . we 're big girls , you know ? but i find it very troubling that he just walks out on you . lulu : oh , he 's been doing that all my life . [ scoffs ] i just do n't know why i 'm surprised . anna : maybe because you really wanted him to change . i guess we all did . lulu : i was actually worried about him . anna : what for ? lulu : i do n't know . yesterday , i remembered running into heather webber on the haunted star the night my dad took off . anna : what was she doing there ? lulu : i do n't know . she wanted to see my dad , and she was acting really strange , even for her , and so i thought maybe she had something to do with his vanishing act . but then this letter shows up and it confirms all the worst opinions of everyone , including my own . anna : can i keep this ? your letter ? lulu : yeah , you can . i do n't know why you would want to . anna : well , i -- i ... i do n't know . it 's just ... reinforcement , you know ? i just do n't want to keep thinking he 's gon na change his mind or something . lulu : i 'm sorry . anna : what for ? lulu : for us believing in him . heather : i let other matters distract me when i should have been here with you , working out our problems . luke : our problems . our problems are these ropes ! you want to solve our problems , you untie me ! heather : would n't it be nice if we could just walk out of here together , arm in arm , and begin a new life together ? but no . you 're not ready . you do n't love me yet . but you will , and soon . maxie : look , this means a lot to lulu , opening her club , following in her father 's footsteps . she needs to feel supported . and besides , she needs the paying customers . patrick : all right , okay . i 'll go with you . maxie : yay ! patrick : on one condition . maxie : okay , name it . patrick : you and lulu keep all talk of recent events at the door , and we try and have a fun evening . maxie : deal ! oh , you are gon na have so much fun ! i promise you wo n't regret it ! patrick : [ sighs ] blair : i can not wait to hear you sing tonight , starr . i ca n't wait to see you . no , um ... tomás is n't coming . you know what ? we 'll talk about later , okay ? todd : you have to help me knock blair 's socks off . you owe me that much after screwing up your part of the deal . carly : how did i know that you would throw that back in my face ? todd : well , if you want , i can start turning up the heat again on johnny . carly : let me tell you something about your friend carly -- not crazy about threats . todd : so you would say no to me . you would not help me on what could be the most important night of my life . carly : of course i would help you , but you have to do something for me . todd : oh , okay . another ultimatum . what do i have to do for you , carly ? carly : you have to ask me nicely ! todd : fine , carly ! my good friend carly , will you help me knock blair 's socks off , please ? ! please . carly : of course i will . you see how easy that was ? no blackmail . simple . todd : too simple . what 's in it for you ? what are you -- why did you -- why are you helping me ? carly : 'cause we 're friends - ish . and i 'm happy to see you have a shot with the woman you love . lulu : hey , i am so sorry i 'm late . something came up . johnny : oh , let me guess -- something with your husband ? lulu : why would you say that ? johnny : dante does n't like roses , at least not when i send them to his wife , my ex . lulu : did he say that ? johnny : in person . apparently , dante does n't want his wife receiving any gifts from anyone but him . you know , part of me wants to send you a stripper - gram just to get a rise out of him . lulu : wow . please do n't . johnny : guess he wants you all to himself . olivia : hey , i was just on my way down to the station to see you . dante : why ?

olivia : why heather webber is in cahoots with a forger . anna : come on in . i 'm very interested in whatever you have . spinelli : okay , uh ... i 'm not sure what bearing , if any , this will have on the case , but as of this morning , i can connect heather webber to an expert forger named archibald `` archie `` boles . anna : a forger . spinelli : yeah . do you have any idea why she would be in need of his services ?

[ sniffles ] and hopefully you 're also thinking of avery and how much that would traumatize her . but maybe you 're not , you know , because i know you 've made it perfectly clear how anxious you are to tell her about all of this , about what happened to morgan . carly : when she 's old enough , absolutely . ava : you would hurt your own child just to punish me ? sonny : avery deserves to know who you are . carly : wait a minute . and who she is n't . that your selfishness and cruelty are not genetic , that she is separate from you , and that being your lifeline is not her job . ava : it 's you who said that . i 've never said that . sonny : you 've taken two people that i love away from me . first , it was connie . you murdered her , walked away . let me tell you something -- if you find a plastic surgeon who tells you he 's gon na perform a miracle and make your face look the way it used to look , i would think twice . because the second you walk out of that office healed , i 'm gon na rethink to let you live . you are not gon na walk away from this death !

[ scene_break ] sonny : are you gon na tell me that it does n't bother you at all that she 's out free doing whatever she wants while morgan 's dead ? this -- that 's ... carly : it bothers me . absolutely , it bothers me . sonny : right . carly : i mean , i hate that woman with every part of my being . but looking at her like that , sonny , my god . sonny : are you starting to feel sorry for that piece of trash ? carly : no , no . i do n't feel sorry for her at all . i do n't . but it just kind of hit home for me . ava 's not `` free . `` and we wo n't be either -- until we let her go . [ scene_break ] felix : we really should head out . i need to get you set up , go over your home care . and you really need to get off your feet . ava : i will . just give me a minute , okay ? felix : i do n't think that 's such a good idea . ava : felix , please . give me a minute . i - i 'd like to say goodbye to morgan . felix : i 'll be in the car . ava : thank you .

[ sighs ] if i loved you like i say i did ... if i loved you like i think i did ... then how did we get here ? [ voice breaking ] how did this get so far ? i 'm trying to make amends , you know . i really am . and not just because of the fire . 'cause i felt sick to my stomach long before that . i feel so sad . i feel so sick whenever i think of you . which is practically all the time . you probably do n't believe that , though , huh ? i do n't know what to believe anymore myself . [ scene_break ] curtis : it 's not just aunt stella taking care of tommy and me . it 's all the stuff we put her through after . well , let 's be real -- not we . me . jordan : oh , come on . tommy was no saint . curtis : yeah , but he had nothing on me . all the times i acted out ... and then with the drugs . i would n't be surprised if i was the cause of her first stroke . and you know what i had the nerve to tell my auntie one time ? i had been on a bender , and she was all over me about it . jordan : yeah , rightly so . curtis : exactly . anyway , uh , i was pissed , and she was all over me about it . and i told my auntie that , `` you would n't be so focused on me if you had a damn life of your own . `` jordan : but you know what , baby ? you were young . you did n't know . curtis : yeah , but i should have asked . and she should have whupped me nine ways to sunday . jordan : yeah . curtis : but she did n't even deal out the `` how could you , after everything i 've done for you ? `` never . not once . jordan : and you know what that tells me ? that tells me that she did n't feel that way . aunt stella loves you so much . she obviously would do anything for you . curtis : yeah . well , now it 's my turn to step up and put aunt stella first for a change . she deserves it . jordan : i agree . so what does that mean for us ? [ scene_break ] sonny : things can not go back to normal for that bitch . carly : okay . they wo n't . sonny : and how would you know that , carly ? carly : well , you put the fear of god in her about getting reconstructive surgery . sonny : yeah , okay . well , you know what ? if i see her looking back , you know , how she used to look , i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . carly : i know . and that 's always an option . okay ? but ... sonny : what ? carly : i do n't know . hopefully by then ... sonny : what ? carly : hopefully by then , we 've moved on . and ava jerome will be irrelevant .

[ carly chuckles ] jax : so , what really happened ? i mean , one minute , we were laughing , and then you just walk off . what changed ? carly : aw , jax , everything 's changed . i loved being out there with you and the boys . and josslyn , she had so much fun . it was perfect . and then i look over at michael , and he braces his leg against the boat so he could pull up a sail , and there i saw it -- his ankle monitor . it all just came crashing back , you know , everything we 've been through the past few months , all the hell our family 's been through . it just made me realize that our perfect little world just does n't exist anymore . jax : because of what i did . carly : no , it 's not -- we both have made a lot of mistakes . jax : i just want to get past all this . you know ? i want us to be a family again . carly : how ? how do we pretend like nothing 's happened ? i mean , one too many lines have been crossed . [ scene_break ] dante : look , you stood by me when everyone in your life was screaming for my head . i 'm not gon na leave you with the fallout from that . i have every intention of coming back . lulu : it 's franco 's intentions that concern me . dante : look . if jason was with me , i 'd have a better chance of catching him . but i do n't have any pull in getting him out of pentonville . and even if claire can get him out , that 's not gon na happen right away . i got ta stop this guy from making his next move . lulu : but he 's not gon na make it easy . dante : nothing worth having is . you 're proof of that . lulu : there 's a difference between loving a challenge and being out of your mind . you want to guess what that makes you ? dante : i 'm guilty on both counts , then , because i refused to give up on you until you loved me . look how well that turned out . [ scene_break ] [ keys jingling ] [ footsteps ] claire : you can go . frank : and leave you back here all alone ? not a chance . i 'll be just outside that door . claire : the idea was for you to lure franco out of hiding so we could catch him , not for you to get caught hiding a gun . you see the distinction ? jason : this came mixed in my mail , unmarked envelope . claire : are you sure this is from franco ? crime scenes are usually his signature shot , not children 's toys . jason : it 's an invitation . it 's where franco wants to meet . claire : well , he did n't leave you much to go by . these steps could be anywhere . jason : yeah , i know , but all the clues that franco 's left behind so far leads to los angeles . okay ? we get spinelli to do a search , figure out where that picture could have been taken . we find those steps , and franco 's gon na be meeting me there . claire : well , given that i now have all this information , i do n't know if there 's any reason to let you out again . or is there ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : mmm . nikolas : i ca n't stop looking at him . thank you for letting me be here with you . he 's just perfect . he 's perfect . elizabeth : there 's only one problem . nikolas : problem ? what ? 10 fingers , 10 toes , i swear . i counted 3 times . elizabeth : he does n't have a name . nikolas : oh , right . elizabeth : have you come up with any ? nikolas : uh , i ... was n't sure that you wanted my opinion on the subject . elizabeth : [ sighs ] really , i 'm sorry for shutting you out . nikolas : it 's okay . elizabeth : so , what do you want to name him ? nikolas : mmm ... spencer suggested we call him buzz lightyear . elizabeth : buzz lightyear cassadine ? mmm . nikolas : it 's easier to pronounce than most of the names in my family . elizabeth : it would definitely get cameron and jake 's vote , but i think we should go with something a little more traditional , 'cause i do n't want social services showing up at my house . nikolas : what if we name him after your father ? elizabeth : jeff cassadine ? nikolas : right . elizabeth : yeah . i was n't really close to him , anyway . but you know what name i have always liked ? nikolas : what ? elizabeth : aiden . nikolas : aiden cassadine . okay . elizabeth : aiden . nikolas : but , you know , technically , he would have to be called aiden alexi nikolosovich cassadine . elizabeth : that just rolls right off the tongue , does n't it ? [ giggles ] nikolas : is that a yes ? elizabeth : i think we just agreed on something . nikolas : okay . then welcome to the world , aiden cassadine . elizabeth : but do n't get too attached to your name , 'cause you have 3 brothers who are gon na call you buzz lightyear . [ both chuckle ] [ scene_break ] claire : you belong in here . if there were any justice in the world , sonny would be in the cell right beside you . jason : you say you want justice ? what about franco 's victims ? do n't they deserve justice , too ? claire : thanks to you , i have all the information i need to find franco . jason : yeah . but if i 'm not there , he 's not gon na show up . you do n't believe me , take the risk . send dante . see what happens . claire : oh . that would solve a huge problem of yours , would n't it , if detective falconeri winds up dead at franco 's hands ? jason : no , this is a game to franco . if you do n't play by his rules , there 's gon na be consequences . claire : i 'm curious about one thing . it would have been fairly simple for you to overpower detective dimestico and run . so , why did n't you ? jason : because i ca n't catch franco if i 'm a fugitive . claire : good answer . let him out ! [ buzzer ] [ scene_break ] jax : i crossed a line , and michael paid the price . carly : i am not blaming you for all of our problems . i cause my fair share . and we both did what we thought was best for michael at the time . we ca n't change that , any more than we can pretend like we did n't happen . jax : then what do you want ? carly : i want more days like today ... with you and the kids . you know , i want us to be with the kids when we 're happy , where they do n't feel all the underlying tension . but i need time to heal and to move forward and to figure out ... i do n't know . and i think you need the same thing .

[ scene_break ] jax : it was a set - up . the drugs were planted to ensure that carly would get custody . look , just get me anything . anything , ok ? anything i can get to take to the judge to prove that sonny set me up , before i lose my daughter for good .

[ scene_break ] sam : it 's just that the worst part about all of this is now there 's an innocent child stuck in the middle . josslyn 's gon na have to grow up choosing between her parents , and i do n't see how that 's fair . jason : it 's not fair . that 's why carly wanted joint custody . sam : ok , then i just wish jax could have found a way to compromise before things got out of hand . not that that would have mattered to sonny . jason : sonny took a risk by even getting involved . this could ruin his marriage to brenda . sam : wait a minute , you think brenda would leave sonny over this ? jason : listen , i think that brenda still cares about jax , and once she finds out that sonny framed him , especially to help carly , it 's not gon na be good . sam : yeah , well , i do n't like it either , jason . we both know that when sonny sets his mind to something , there 's no point in trying to change it . he does n't stop until he gets what he wants . jason : ok , but sonny did n't get to where he is without being ruthless . he just does n't want brenda or the kids to see that side of him . sam : well , that is hard not to when jax is being brought up on drug charges right before the judge rules on josslyn 's custody . [ scene_break ] brenda : i want you to stop reading all that crap online , ok ? you know it 's just a bunch of lies and negativity , right ? jax : it does n't matter . it 's all the judge has to go on is that police report and my mug shot where i 'm completely drugged out of my mind . brenda : i do n't care what it looks like . you have a perfect record . jax : it does n't get much worse than this , brenda . my petition for sole custody was based on the fact that i 'm a stable parent , but stable parents , they do n't get arrested for drugs . brenda : you were framed . jax : heh . you know , i got to hand it to sonny . he really , really did a good job with this . brenda : look , no one is gon na believe you 're suddenly a drug addict . jax : it does n't matter if it 's true or not . it does n't matter . it 's front page news . brenda : it does n't matter . it 's front page news today , it 's gon na be in the trash tomorrow where it belongs . jax : yeah , but the picture 's gon na be around forever . you know , every time my name is mentioned in the media , this picture is going to pop up . this was n't just about custody for sonny . this was about payback . this was about all the years that i accused him of being a horrible father . this is how he gets me back right here . brenda : i 'm so sorry this is happening . let 's just focus , ok ? let 's focus on josslyn . jax : i need your help . ok . i know i probably should n't be asking this , but if you could tell the judge that you think that sonny framed me , then , you know , maybe that can help . [ scene_break ] sonny : nothing 's gon na happen to jax . carly : he 's been charged with a felony . sonny : alexis is a good lawyer . she 'll knock it down to a misdemeanor . he 'll just get community service or something . carly : that 's what dante thought about michael and look what happened . sonny : look , the judge was -- the judge was trying to send a message . he wanted to put me away , but he could n't , so he put michael away . ok , this is different . nobody died . jax will just plead out . carly : what if that 's not an option for him , sonny ? sonny : let 's not forget what he did . he paid the mediator . how many times have you heard stories about celebrities getting caught doing drugs or whatever , they get a slap on the wrist , they send them to rehab , and their careers are much better . carly : ok , jax is n't some celebrity trying to make a name for himself , he 's a businessman . and there is something called bad publicity . sonny : what about his brother who held a hotel full of people hostage ? shot robin . and then blew up the whole building . carly : ok , that was n't jax , that was his brother jerry . ok , this is going to ruin jax 's reputation . sonny : he played dirty . you have to understand that . and he lost . hey . you got your daughter . is n't that worth it ? carly : is it gon na be worth it if you lose brenda over this ? siobhan : you 've spent plenty of time telling me the reasons why you and elizabeth did n't work as a couple and how getting back together for the sake of your kids would be a bad idea . and i happen to agree . but if there 's more between the two of you than just your boys , can you just tell me now so that we can stop playing house . lucky : siobhan , listen -- siobhan : because i really do n't want to be a burden , and i do n't want to be an obstacle . lucky : i 've never seen you as an obstacle . when i said that i wanted to see what we could have together , i meant it . siobhan : well , that was before you knew that you and elizabeth shared another child . lucky : the fact that aiden is my son does n't change how i feel about you . siobhan : but it might change how you feel about his mother . lucky : how many different ways can i say this to you ? we 're not getting back together . siobhan : is it because you 're worried that i 'm going to refile the malpractice suit ? lucky : what ? no . look , i understand why you 're upset with elizabeth , but you need to understand something . she is not an evil person . she does n't have any ulterior motives here . i mean , she 's changed a lot in the last year . and in time you 'll see that the only thing elizabeth wants is to be a good parent . we both do . [ scene_break ] jason : i ca n't blame jax for wanting to protect josslyn , but he just -- he took it too far when he brought michael and morgan into the whole thing . he wanted to use their testimony against carly . he implied that michael 's too dangerous to be left alone with josslyn . sam : yes , i know . ok . and agreed . jax knew there was gon na be a fallout , but i do n't think he had any idea how hard sonny was gon na hit back . jason : neither did carly . i know that she wants to keep josslyn , but i do n't think that she 's gon na be ok with this . [ knock on door ] sam : hold on . hey . molly : hi . sam : hi . what are you doing here ? i thought you were grounded . molly : well , i 'm allowed out of the house , but i lost my computer privileges indefinitely . sam : ok . well , i 'd say you got off pretty easy . molly : well , i know helping morgan was wrong , but the goal was still right . if carly and jax get back together , they can forget all about this whole custody battle and josslyn can live with both of her parents . jason : yeah , i do n't think that 's gon na happen , molly . molly : well , definitely not now . i saw jax 's picture in the paper . did uncle sonny set him up so that carly would win custody ? [ scene_break ] jax : look , there has to be a way to connect this back to sonny . just keep looking , ok ? i have a team of investigators trying to find a shred of evidence that sonny had something to do with this . brenda : ok , good . do you think they 're gon na find something in time for the hearing ? jax : no , it 's doubtful . what i really need is the testimony . i mean , if you could come down there with me and maybe tell the judge what you know . brenda : i , um , i can go to talk to the judge , you know , and tell him that i absolutely think that you were framed , but it 's not gon na prove anything . jax : yeah , but you 're sonny 's wife , and it carries a lot of weight . brenda : yeah , but sonny lied to me . he does n't tell me anything . so i do n't know anything for sure . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] carly : i know you and brenda are having problems . sonny : who told you that , jason ? carly : no . no one had to tell me . i own the hotel . brenda checked into the metro court with alec and her nanny to a suite for an extended stay . i 'm sorry . sonny : no , you 're not . 'cause you do n't -- you hate her and you tried everything you can to -- carly : no , i just -- i did n't want her to hurt you , ok ? sonny : me ? look , i hurt her all the time , leave her , you know , at the altar , standing in the rain . you name it , i 've done it . carly : stop . brenda ca n't handle your life . she ca n't . she proved that when she told the judge about your limo getting shot . sonny : she did n't want to life under oath . carly : i would have . sonny : jax should have never put her in that position . carly : ok , you know what , i do n't expect brenda to ever do me any favors even though i dropped everything , including my daughter , to run off to san antonio to help you bring her son back . but i would think that your marriage means more to her than her friendship with jax . sonny : can we not talk about this right now ? carly : i 'm just saying . i know if you and brenda break up that you 're gon na be devastated . sonny : i 'm not gon na ... i 'm not gon na lose brenda . 'cause she 's just got to cool down . carly : i ca n't -- this is n't your run of the mill marital squabble , sonny . this is bad . sonny : look , i 've ... every time we go through something like this , we always end up getting back together because we ca n't work without each other . i 'm not gon na ... i 'm not gon na lose her because she 'll be back . [ scene_break ] lucky : are we ok ? siobhan : of course . you should go have -- go have dinner with your sons . lucky : that was n't an answer . siobhan : the truth ? i 'm worried about you . for all the reasons that we discussed . lucky : you worried i 'm gon na torch another building or something ? siobhan : burning down another building , it is n't going to make things easier . lucky : i know . setting fire to the house was just -- it was stupid . i thought i could free my dad from the past and keep myself from making the same mistakes . but in that moment , i was just like him . i was careless and self - destructive . and it 's not an experience i care to repeat . siobhan : then do n't . go spend time with cam and aiden . it 's the best gift that you can give them . lucky : yeah . listen , everything 's gon na be ok . all right ? come here . come here . ok , i 'll see you soon , all right ? siobhan : ok . lucky : all right . siobhan : have fun . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't really think i can answer that . molly : why ? because you do n't want to incriminate yourself or uncle sonny ? sam : no , because jason did n't have anything to do with what happened in jax 's suite . molly : but uncle sonny did . it 's a logical assumption . i mean , jax was threatening to take josslyn away from carly , so of course she would turn to uncle sonny for help . he 's a gangster . he has the means , the motive , and the opportunity to make jax look like a bad person . sam : jax is not a bad person . molly : well , i know , but if the judge thinks he is , then carly would get custody . that was the plan , right ? jason : well , you know , carly , jax , and myself , and even sonny , we want what 's best for josslyn . but sometimes you get so caught up in what you think is right , you actually lose sight of what 's really important . molly : that josslyn needs both of her parents . sam : exactly . exactly . and jax and carly should have found a way to compromise . molly : but they did n't and now they hate each other . sam : it 's complicated , molly . breakups can be really very painful . and jax and carly are both hurt and angry . and they just happen to unfortunately be taking it out on this custody fight . molly : it 's just proof that love is a lie . [ scene_break ] sonny : you nervous ? carly : about seeing jax ? yeah . i feel terrible . sonny : he started this by trying to take away your daughter . and he ca n't have her now . carly : he was n't trying to keep her away from me . he said i could visit with her . sonny : you should not have to ask for permission to see your daughter . little girls need their mother . that 's why i let alexis raise kristina , not because i do n't love her , but because i did n't want her in the middle . if jax was a good father , he 'd want the same thing . carly : he 's a great father . he is . he adores josslyn . sonny : so his problem is with me ? we both know that , right ? carly : yeah . sonny : ok ? jax : well , i 'm not surprised to see you two together . are you congratulating each other on a job well done ? sonny : i 'm just here to support the mother of my sons , that 's all . brenda : that 's amazing . you give carly a lot of support , do n't you ? so you just -- you think this is ok to just ask him to destroy your daughter 's father ? sonny : you taking his word for it ? brenda : jax does n't do drugs . sonny : but he pays off a mediator and he uses his kid to get back at me . right ? jax : what happened , you could n't face me like a real man ? huh ? you had to go hide behind the skirt hem of the mediator ? get her to plant drugs in my apartment . bribe her . i always knew you were a coward . now everyone knows . sonny : looks like that perfect halo you got has a few dents 'cause of that stunt you pulled last night . brenda : well , he was framed last night . sonny : framed ? yeah . ok , well , here 's the thing . maybe you were in the hotel room , you got wasted , right , you were feeling good about yourself , so you made a little pass at the mediator . she said no , you got pissed off , started thrashing the place . and then now you want to shift the blame on somebody else . am i right ? jax : it 's a nice try . you know , but all the planted drugs in the world is n't gon na change the fact that you are just a common thug who made a lot of money intimidating people . carly : this is n't solving anything . jax : and you overplayed your hand , carly . the judge is gon na see this for what it is , a desperate move by a mother who does n't have a prayer of winning custody . judge cole : mr. jacks , mrs. jacks , you can come in . [ scene_break ] lucky : hello ? elizabeth : lucky ? lucky : hey . are you surprised to see me ? i know i have the right night . elizabeth : i just did n't think you 'd be able to make it . lucky : yeah , well , family night sort of implies the whole family . elizabeth : well , yeah , but siobhan just got out of the hospital . i totally understand if you have to be home with her . lucky : she does n't really want to be taken care of too much . she 's made that clear . pretty much kicked me out of the house . where are the kids ? elizabeth : aiden is upstairs taking a nap and cameron , i sent him over to the neighbor 's house . he was asking some hard - to - answer questions . lucky : really ? like what ? elizabeth : he does n't understand how we can have a family dinner without jake . lucky : yeah . you ok ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , i 'm ok . i was able to get cameron over to william 's before he had a breakdown . i was remembering earlier that time that i made a blueberry pie and jake got it all over himself . do you remember that ? lucky : yeah . he thought it was hilarious . elizabeth : i really miss him . lucky : me , too . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , really ? what about all those great love stories you 've read about ? romeo and juliet , lancelot and guinevere . molly : paris and helen and odysseus and penelope and cleopatra and marc antony . sam : wait a minute , what are you saying ? do you think none of those people loved each other ? molly : well , love is like unicorns or dragons or wizards . it 's wonderful to read about and imagine , but it does n't happen . at least not in reality . i mean , look at mom . sam : mm - hmm . molly : she 's been married , probably thought she was in love at the time , but it did n't last . none of her relationships have . i just assumed that it was because mom picking the wrong guys , but they were n't the problem , love is . if it was real , it would last . sam : it does for some people . molly : well , it did n't for jax and carly . it probably wo n't for uncle sonny and aunt brenda after she reads about jax 's arrest , which is such a shame because their wedding was so romantic . jason : molly , you know , things do n't always work out the way we want . people do make mistakes , that does n't mean that they were n't in love . i mean , it does exist . and you 'll know it when you find it .

[ scene_break ] judge cole : the court labels a case high conflict when one or both parties refuses to consider a compromise which would result in shared custody of the minor child . in this case , the conflict came from you , mr. jacks . jax : i was n't about to compromise the safety of my daughter , but i have absolutely no problem with her mother spending as much time with her as possible . carly : on your terms . jax : well , if you could provide a safe home -- carly : my home was n't the site of a drug bust , yours was . jax : your honor , i have a private investigator working -- judge cole : i 'm not hearing testimony today , mr. jacks . if i have to remind you again , i will hold you in contempt . now , the court is predisposed to order shared custody given that both parents are financially stable and have played a role in the minor child 's life since birth . however , there were other factors to be considered . but before we get to my ruling , i 'd like to take a moment to commend you , mrs. jacks , for demonstrating a consistent willingness to cooperate with the court as well as mr. jacks . carly : thank you . but i think shared custody is what 's best for josslyn . jax : not if it could get her killed . judge cole : you 're out of order , mr. jacks . consider that your last warning . throughout these proceedings , you have made several unsubstantiated claims regarding your daughter 's safety while in the care of her mother . the court frowns on hyperbole , mr. jacks . we deal in facts . and the facts are you were found intoxicated and incoherent last night after physically threatening a court - appointed mediator . the police recovered prescription and contraband drugs in your suite . the same suite where the minor child resides with you . it is the finding of this court that you , mr. jacks , are the danger to josslyn . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : after jake died , i was numb . i would wake up in the morning and i would just go through the motions and not think about what i was doing . i almost cost siobhan her life . lucky : yeah , that was an accident . elizabeth : but it could have been prevented . i should have just checked those stupid labels . lucky : it was your first time back in the or . you did n't have time to prepare . elizabeth : you do n't have to make excuses . i take complete responsibility for what happened . but you know , that mistake , it really opened my eyes to how i was coping , or not coping , with jake 's death . i ca n't just be going through the motions , that 's not fair to cameron and aiden . lucky : elizabeth , you 're doing an amazing job . i 'm floored at how you take care of the kids . cam and aiden , they both know how much you love them . elizabeth : i just wo n't want them to ever feel like i loved jake more . or that they are not as important to me or to you . lucky : you do n't have to worry about that . the boys are always gon na come first for me . elizabeth : they could n't ask for a better father . lucky : let 's hope aiden inherits enough of the webber dna to offset the spencer genes . alcoholism and addiction , all that , it 's a lot . elizabeth : have you heard from your dad ? lucky : no . and i do n't expect to . you know , i just -- i wish that lulu would give up the search and just accept that dad does n't want to have anything to do with our lives anymore . elizabeth : have you accepted it ? lucky : i do n't have a choice . i 'm just grateful that i get to be a part of aiden 's life . and i want to do everything i can to be a good father . not let history repeat itself . [ scene_break ] molly : i guess you and sam are proof that love does last . at least it has so far . though i probably just jinxed it by saying that . sam : no , no , do n't say that . relationships end for tons of reasons . people make mistakes , they grow apart , sometimes they even realize that they were n't even meant to be together in the first place . but i 've never heard of a relationship ending because a little sister put a jinx on it . molly : you know what i mean . sam : listen , molly , love does n't always happen the way you read about it in books . i mean , take jason and i . we had our problems and we thought we were over . but we were wrong . and if we had given up on love , we would n't be together right now . molly : i always thought love was something magical , something that could overcome any obstacle . and yours has . i mean , when you look at all of the ways that your love has been tested , and the fact that you 've made it through stronger than ever is pretty remarkable . sam : yes , it is . molly : but what if someone never finds love at all ? sam : i think the biggest mistake people make is searching when they should just let love happen . and it will , molly . and you are way too young to even think about that right now . you will fall in love some day . and when that happens , it is gon na be better than anything you have ever imagined . even unicorns .

[ door opening ] luke : [ muffled shout ] wow . you 're back soon . be still my heart . heather : there 's no need for sarcasm . it is the cruelest aspect of humor . luke : oh , really ? well , forgive me . being tied to a chair for days on end tends to cramp my style . heather : i know you do n't love me now -- but you will . luke : what 's that ? love potion number 9 ? heather : lucy in the sky with diamonds . it 's acid ! you know , the mighty quinn . luke : more lsd . oh , far out . where 'd you get this batch ? heather : you can get anything down at the docks these days , if you know who to ask .

[ soft music plays ] todd : so , blair -- she left tomás at home and she said she wanted to chat . i 'm cautiously optimistic . carly : you , cautious . todd : i 'm downright hopeful . carly : [ laughs ] todd : i am . as long as your idiot hotel manager does n't botch this up , too . carly : okay , it 's going to be fine . it 's going to be perfect . you have a dinner for two being delivered to your suite . blair is going to be thrilled and happy . todd : thank you , but i need her socks knocked off . carly : okay . then you keep up your end of the bargain and you keep your hands off johnny . todd : [ stammering ] johnny should keep his hands off my daughter and my ex- wife . carly : he 's not like that . todd : really ? tell that to kate howard . carly : we 're not having that conversation . johnny : why do n't i get you something better , huh ? blair : this is fine , but okay . your place is wonderful . johnny : thank you . todd : you want to trust him , you go ahead . i 'm not making that mistake . blair : so i 'm just glad you got starr out of that contract with that sleaze rick powers . johnny : oh , please . she 's a great singer . it 's my pleasure . blair : no , i think it was more than just business . johnny : what do you mean ? blair : thank you . well , i think that you went out of your way to show kindness to a young woman who has suffered a great loss . johnny : [ chuckles ] blair : did i embarrass you ? i did n't mean to embarrass you . johnny : no , no . blair : i just want you to truly know how grateful i am for what you did for my daughter . i had to tell her that she lost her own daughter and fiancé , and -- i did n't think she was ever gon na get over it . but look at her . here , she 's -- she 's healing , and i think that is in large part because of you , so -- no , no , no ! you will always have a friend in me , johnny zacchara . put ' er there . okay . patrick : and what if i do n't want to be filmed ? camera man : oh , i 'm sorry , sir . i was -- patrick : what 'd you get ? camera man : i was just getting some coverage of the room -- patrick : let me see the tape ! trey : sir , is there a problem ? kristina : i 'm so sorry . patrick : there is a problem . tell your guy to film somebody else . maxie : that did n't look good . lulu : no , it did n't . anna : yeah , lulu got a letter this morning . dante : she did n't say anything about a letter from her father . i mean , she was upset , but she said it was just because of the bills . i do n't know . maybe she was trying to protect him ? she knows we 're looking for him . but then why bring the letter to you ? anna : maybe she did n't want to upset you . it may be a forgery , but i got to say , the words and a lot of the sentiment are very luke . dante : so whoever wrote this knows luke pretty well . olivia : i shot a picture of the guy 's license plate , and i gave it to spinelli to run a trace on it . steve : so you saw a guy coming out of my apartment -- olivia : well , he was coming down a hallway , but -- steve : down the hallway . do you know how many people live in my building ? olivia : what 's the likelihood that any of them need a forger ? steve : maybe he was visiting a niece or applying for a job or making a booty call . but he sure as hell was n't visiting my mother . olivia : and you know this how ? steve : she was working on her column , like she 's working now . i talked to her boss , and he confirmed she 's on assignment . olivia : honey , i know that you want your mother to be cured and to be a good person , but you have to start getting your mind around some other possibilities . steve : why would she have need of a forger ? olivia : honey , i do n't know . but maybe my son can help us figure it out . steve : you sicked your son on my mom ? dante : `` when the day comes , do yourself and dante a favor . if you feel the itch to fly , do n't waste time . just go . the more you try to convince yourself you 're something you are not , the longer you hold on , the worse the break will be when it comes . ' forever ' is n't for you and me . `` anna : well , i hate to admit it . even though it 's not luke , heather really does have his voice down cold . dante : yeah . now i know why she did n't want me to see the letter . heather : lsd -- i know it well -- too well , actually . i overdosed on it myself a few years back . it was meant for somebody else , but -- silly me -- i mixed up the glasses of iced tea . luke : you think you can give me a dose of that and we 're gon na swan off somewhere into the sunset on some sweet magical mystery tour ? think again . there 's not a drug on the planet gon na make me love you . heather : you men -- you 're all just a little slow on the uptake . let me explain it to you . you see , anna 's the problem -- not that i understand why you fancy that bag of bones . luke : heather , you can send me on a trip from here to bangladesh . it 's not gon na change the way i feel about you . heather : luke , the lsd 's not for you . it 's for anna , silly boy . blair : so if you 're ever in llanview , you have to stop by my club . it 's called the capricorn . todd : blair , you gon na invite the guy home with you ? blair : i just might . i just wanted to thank him for all the help that he 's given starr . carly : that 's funny , because that 's what todd was just saying , that he wanted to thank johnny . right ? todd : thank you , johnny . thank you for everything that you 've done for my daughter . johnny : happy to do it . now , if you will excuse me one second . lulu : hey . johnny : is dante here yet ? lulu : no , but i think we should get started . so -- okay .

[ chuckling ] dante : we want to know whether or not heather webber hired you to write these letters , and you better be careful with your answer , archie , because one of these letters was sent to the commissioner of police , and that kicks this up to a felony . archie : look , i 'm a calligrapher -- dante : no , no , no ! you are a forger ! archie : i do n't ask where these letters go , okay ? i just write . anna : oh , yeah , i understand that . and we really appreciate your cooperation . but , see , right here -- our forensics , they verify that this is your work . we 're not after you , archie . we want heather . will you help us ? olivia : you 're breaking up with me ? steve : i just think it might be a good idea if we have a little time apart . olivia : what are you talking about ? steve , i 'm trying to protect you . i love you . steve : i love you , too . but this is n't working . olivia : it was working just fine until your mother showed up ! steve : she 's my mother ! and , yes , she may be a damaged person , but i 'm not just gon na abandon her ! olivia : i 'm not asking you to abandon her . steve : are n't you ? i mean , is n't that what this is all about -- you wanting me to choose you over my mother ? olivia : this is about you stepping out of delusion and protecting yourself ! your mother is up to something ! steve : i asked you specifically to back off ! olivia : but i ca n't do that ! i ca n't do that when all my instincts are screaming out that there 's something seriously wrong ! steve : then i guess we have nothing else to say .

[ scene_break ] lulu : tracy must feel awful . luke : mmm . lulu : she does n't ? luke : not so much . lulu : even though the only reason you lied to her was to save your son 's life ? luke : there 's something you need to know about that . lulu : oh , no , why ? what happened to lucky ? luke : oh , nothing , nothing . he 's good , believe me . it 's just i have some more information .

'cause i 'm going to get out in time to protect my son . sonny : good . then you did the right thing , then . brenda : yeah . brenda : remember -- you remember ... do n't forget . diamonds at the start ... sonny : hey , come here . brenda : diamonds at the end . sonny : come on . ok , listen to me , ok ? i hope you and your child are happy and you guys find , you know , a new ... you meet a man ... ok , that can give you what you need . but i 'm going to tell you something , ok ? no matter where you are ... i will always love you . [ scene_break ] [ crickets chirping ] carly : brenda left , huh ? sonny : yep . all but the paperwork . carly : she really left because of what you did to jax ? sonny : that 's part of it , but i think she knew that there 's nothing i would n't do for you , and it always made her furious , then what happened with jax . you know , bottom line , the life that i lead , too dangerous for her and her kid . and who 's to blame her ? carly : ok . if it was n't for alec , do you think she would have stayed ? sonny : [ sighs ] i want to believe yeah , but i got ta tell you , something changed . it was the disillusionment in her eyes . i 'm not the man she thought i was . carly : what are you talking about ? she 's known you for so long . sonny : she loved me in a way that she wanted me to be . and then things would happen between us . i would leave . and she always felt she had to get me back . and then we got married , right , she knew that i was committed to her . she saw things that she did n't see before . carly : all right , well , that sounds hypocritical to me . sonny : i believe she did what she thought was right . i could n't keep her son safe . i could n't promise to do that . i could n't promise to try . so how can we fault her ? carly : i 'm sorry . sonny : oh , you could n't stand her , come on . carly : ok , yeah , but you loved her . sonny : yeah ? carly : yeah . and i hate seeing you like this . you deserve to be happy .

[ scene_break ] carly : ok , i know that this is awful for you . but i do n't want you to start sitting alone in the dark drinking , ok ? you should come to my house . come over . michael and morgan and josslyn are there . i can call alexis , she 'll bring the girls over . it 's good for you to be around your family right now . sonny : i know you 're trying to help , but it 's not a good time right now to tell my kids that brenda is gone . because they 're going to ask me questions about what am i going to do . i do n't know what i 'm going to do . i love this woman with all my heart . and i do n't know what my life 's going to be like without her . carly : i am sorry . it 's just so unfair that you guys -- that she leaves because you help me . i mean , it 's just wrong . sonny : no , it would n't have mattered . when she found alec , that was it . it was just a matter of time . my life 's too dangerous for her and her kid . carly : you 're being very generous to her . i 'm not surprised . sonny : i know you do n't think so , but brenda changed when she became a mother . and regardless of what happened , i 'm very proud of the woman she 's become . carly : you 're right , i do n't think so . because i hate her right now for hurting you . sonny : i hurt you . a lot . and you know what , i love her and i always will love her . but i will not regret helping you get josslyn back . [ scene_break ] jason : you know , there used to be so many things i did n't understand . so many things that did n't make sense to me . but i could see they were important to other people . so i 'd play along . sam : like dinner on a roof ? jason : no . no , like a party to mark a special day or a ring to symbolize a promise . i can never really see the connection between something that you know in your heart and a piece of jewelry . sam : i think that 's pretty wise . i mean , to not care about the symbol . but the actual feeling . jason : right , and we do need markers in our lives , otherwise , the days just kind of start bleeding together , and without meaning to , you start taking things for granted ; that somebody will always be there , that they 'll always know how you feel , and i 've done that to o you . i mean , because we 're so comfortable and our relationship is so easy that i 've already started counting on our future together without ever saying the words or asking you how you feel . sam : yeah , but you know how i feel . jason : i know , but i know that you 're afraid if you say any of those words out loud , that this might go away . sam : yeah , my dad used to tell me , set your expectations low , that way you wo n't ever be disappointed . it 's a really sad way to live , you know . jason : what 's the point of holding yourself back from something you really want ? i wanted to tell jake that i loved him . and i wanted to tell him that i was his father in a way that he could understand , but i did n't get the chance . but i learned from what i lost . and i will never take time or love for granted again . [ exhales ] i love you so much . and i would be honored to spend the rest of my life with you ... will you marry me ?

[ scene_break ] nathan : dante , i swear i did n't do anything to get this guy thrown out of the country . dante : how did that phone number to immigration get on your phone , then ? nathan : levi 's setting me up . levi : are you serious ? maxie : it 's perfect , right ? i mean , i 've always wanted to explore new worlds -- not that australia is new . i mean , it 's been around for a while , but it 's new to me . and who would n't want to throw a shrimp on the barbie ? i do n't have to learn a new language , except for words that i do n't understand , like i still do n't know what a fair dinkum is . levi : it 's you , max -- the genuine article . maxie : see ? i 'm already expanding my vocabulary . and this way nathan will not win , because that 's what this is about -- breaking us up , keeping us apart from each other . but we 're not gon na let that happen , because we will be long gone to australia . i do n't know why i did n't think of this sooner . levi : max ... maxie : it 's perfect , right ? i mean , it solves all of our problems . levi ? do n't you think that this is a great idea ? levi : no , max . it is n't .

[ scene_break ] maxie : why did n't you tell me ? levi : i did n't want to worry you . besides , i thought i left it all behind . i did n't think it was relevant . maxie : that you have a prison sentence hanging over your head ? levi : i was never gon na go back . they certainly were n't pursuing me , and i had a whole new life here with you . why would i leave you , max ? you 're my girl . you 're right -- i should have stayed on top of my visa . but the truth is nothing would have happened if nathan had n't have called immigration . maxie : so , nathan makes one phone call to immigration , and you 're forced to go back to australia , where they will throw you in prison , and i 'll never see you again ? levi : the long and the short of it . it breaks my heart . i just want you to know that over the last few months , you 've made me happier than any man deserves to be . i 'm gon na carry you in my heart . if i make it through this , it 's gon na be because of you -- because of your smile , your face , your love , all the amazing times we 've shared . maxie : no . no . it can not end like this . levi : maxie , there 's nothing left to do . what else can we do ? maxie : maybe there is something .

[ scene_break ] dante : sonny 's employees were shot , and his property was stolen . that makes him the victim , no ? jordan : well , i 'm more interested in what was in the shipment . maybe your father could enlighten us . dante : okay . i will bring him in for questioning , but i 'd advise against it . jordan : why ? you would n't happen to be protecting your father , would you ? dante : no , absolutely not . jordan : then why are you pushing back ? dante : you 're not gon na intimidate him by bringing him in for questioning , even if you hold him for 48 hours . jordan : well , i 've heard rumors that your father is claustrophobic , no ? dante : that 's true . it does n't mean he 's gon na enjoy the experience , but his lawyer , ric lansing , will get him out in no time , and then he will slap a harassment suit on his behalf , and -- it 's happened before . jordan : okay , can you suggest an alternative ? dante : yeah . in the last two months , sonny 's lost two key players -- shawn and lavery . a cop , you , infiltrated his organization . he 's gon na have to reorganize everything , get hands on , and that gives us something to go on . me and west , we can build a case , make it concrete , but we need time . i will start by going through this . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm glad you 're here , julian . that way i do n't have to , you know , get somebody to track you down . julian : [ sighs ] sonny : thanks , philly . julian : i want to talk to you without any extra ears . sonny : well , tj , he was here first , so you 're gon na have to wait till we 're finished . tj : you know , it 's no problem . we can pick this up later . sonny : okay , you know what ? i do n't know if you allow people to come into your house and give you orders , but i do n't allow it in mine . so even if you are coming back , which i do n't see a reason for you to do that , learn your manners . julian : we need to settle this , sonny . sonny : settle what ? my shipment was hijacked . my employee was shot . like i said before , you got to learn some manners ! julian : it was n't me . i had nothing to do with it . [ scene_break ] sam : hey , over here . alexis : i 'm trying to have michael reinstated at elq , and the swing vote , lucy coe , sided with nikolas . i mean , this is in compliance with the corporate bylaws , so i really do n't see what i can offer in the way of legal recourse . sam : i just ca n't believe nikolas actually turned out to be a true cassadine . alexis : neither can i . what the hell is going on with him ? i am mortified on behalf of my whole family . i wish there was something i could do more to make amends to the quartermaines . especially tracy . she dove into this whole thing now to try to save her father 's legacy , because luke left her for laura . [ scene_break ] luke : i should have told you that my sons ' lives were in danger . tracy : luke , the boys ' lives were at stake . you had to pretend that you were back with laura again in order to protect them . luke : but i regret it . it was a mistake . tracy : well , that 's easy to say in hindsight . if things had turned out differently , and lucky or ethan had died because you confided in me , you never would have forgiven yourself . luke : no , i would n't . tracy : you were a parent desperate to protect your children , and you had to make the choices you made no matter how much those choices hurt me . luke : but i do . i do regret it . tracy : i accept your apology , and i forgive you . luke : you do n't know how much that means to me . thank you . i 've been carrying this around since the last time we were on this rust bucket . i 'd like nothing more than to get back to where we were that night . be my fiancée ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you did not have to do all of this for my welcome home . nathan : yeah , i did . planning all of this and working all those extra shifts was the only way i could keep my mind off how much i missed you . how much i missed your smile and your laugh and giant mess you make in the kitchen when you cook . maxie : hey , quinoa is really hard to do right . nathan : and i miss watching you pick out your shoes for the day , as if that 's some huge , monumental decision . maxie : well , proper footwear can be life - altering . nathan : and i miss your lectures on fashion , and how you always manage to turn them into insights on people and life . i miss going over my day with you and getting your advice . i miss holding you and sleeping next to you and listening to you breathe . maxie : is that your polite way of telling me i snore ? nathan : no , no . hey . i mean it , maxie . i miss this . i miss us . there 's no one like you . i ca n't stand to be away from you . maxie : i love you so much . [ scene_break ] luke : you have no idea how much it means to me to hear you say you forgive me . i 've learned from my mistakes , tracy . i want nothing more in life than just to spend the rest of it with you . marry me . this is the place where you put out your hand , and i slip the ring on your finger . tracy : i 'm not gon na marry you . luke : but you said you forgive me . tracy : i do . with all my heart . but i 'm still not gon na marry you . luke : why not ? tracy : okay . bec -- before i came here , i -- i was with paul . luke : oh , do n't tell me you 're gon na take up with that hound hornsby ! tracy : we had breakfast ! we did not renew our vows ! luke : i do n't care what this guy 's selling , tracy . do n't buy it . apart from being dillon 's father , he 's an empty suit . tracy : i did n't say that i trusted him . just listen to me . i learned something from being with him . luke : what could you possibly learn from this guy ? ! he has no soul ! tracy : it 's not about paul ! it 's about me ! luke , this last year has been hell for me . my father 's company was under siege , and it was my fault , because i made it vulnerable . and then there was you and your suffering . and i suffered , too . elq , you . elq , you . month after month . and then you left with laura . and i really hit bottom . luke : i would do anything to go back and change that . tracy : i 'm not saying this to make you feel bad . i just am trying to get you to understand where i am and how i got here . luke : here being the place where you wo n't marry me . tracy : when paul showed up , we were both in pain . we both thought we 'd been dumped . and suddenly , i found myself laughing . i forgot about you . i forgot about elq . we went for a walk . we lazed in the sun . we drank the afternoon away , and we ended up in bed . it was so easy . it was so enjoyable . [ voice breaking ] it was fun . i had fun ! i have n't had fun in over a year . [ scene_break ] alexis : luke supposedly recovered . he swore to tracy and his family that he had changed . sam : hmm , like julian swore to us . do n't look at me like that , mom . he said he renounced the mob , and all of a sudden , there was a hit on sonny 's warehouse last night ? alexis : what are you trying to say ? sam : [ sighs ] maybe he has n't given up the mob , after all . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're innocent . your hands are clean . i 've heard it all before , julian . julian : i mean it , sonny . i had nothing to do with that raid on your warehouse . sonny : well , it was a robbery , which fits your pattern . right ? because you 've stolen a lot from me . julian : it was n't me . like i told you that day at the police station , i 'm out of the business . sonny : okay , you know what ? did you go -- you went to college , right ? julian : yeah . sonny : well , i did n't , but i had a -- i had an english teacher in high school . his name was brother norbert . and he made us read shakespeare , and i liked it . you know why ? because you can learn a lot from the kings and the princes . the warring families . julian : you want to talk shakespeare ? sonny : you fit right in . the mobster who doth protest too much ? [ scene_break ] jordan : detective , we need to talk about valerie . dante : okay . is there something wrong with her work ? jordan : no , her work 's fine . the problem is your personal relationship with her . [ scene_break ] lulu : before this all unraveled , you came over to clear the air about that -- that stupid headline in the press . and to ask if i was okay with your friendship with my husband ! now , obviously , you overheard dillon and i discussing our secret . valerie : yeah , you were standing in an open doorway hugging each other , talking about how dante could n't know . lulu : and instead of asking me about what you overheard , you took that information to dante ? valerie : oh , so you 're saying if i would have asked you , you would have told me ? lulu : the point is , is that you never gave me the chance to explain ! and then you took my husband down the road of thinking that i was cheating on him with dillon . valerie : no , that was never my intention . dante was worried because you were acting strange . okay , he noticed that i was upset after i went to see you , and he asked why . i tried to dodge , but he kept pressing , so i told him the truth . lulu : you should have stayed out of it ! valerie : i made it clear that i did n't hear the entire conversation , and that i could have been wrong , but he was worried enough to follow through . and because you kept lying , it kind of snowballed from there . lulu : more like an avalanche . dante told me everything that happened after i left with dillon . and now i need to hear it from you . [ scene_break ] maxie : no . no , you can not kiss me . nathan : why not ? maxie : because i had no time to shower before i left . ellie and spinelli 's building is having water problems , and then georgie spilled chocolate milk on me right before i got out of the car at the airport . then i had the middle seat on the plane . the passenger to one side of me was coughing . the passenger on the other side was scratching . you ca n't touch me . nathan : i 'll risk it , all right ? i once got a commendation for bravery . maxie : i need to be disinfected . nathan : i have a very strong immune system . maxie : no , listen to me . i 'm gon na shower . you will wait here , and i will come back when i 'm clean , okay ? nathan : no , i got a better idea . maxie : nathan , no . what are you doing ? this is a violation of relationship etiquette ! [ scene_break ] dante : there 's no problem between me and valerie . jordan : i disagree . i could tell something was bothering her , and with a little pushing , she does n't confide very easily , but i think she was actually trying to protect you . valerie told me what happened . dante : there was a misunderstanding . jordan : so that 's -- that 's what you 're gon na refer to it as ? dante : we kissed , okay , and that 's -- jordan : you did a lot more than kiss , detective . i know that you slept with valerie . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm sure dante covered it all . lulu : valerie . i am asking you to do me the courtesy of telling me your side of how it all went down . valerie : i knew dante was upset , so i stopped by to check on him . lulu : you could n't have called ? you had to do it in person ? valerie : you know , he told me that you made up a cover story , and then you snuck off to the quartermaines ' where dillon was waiting for you in nothing but a towel . then you called him to tell him that your grandmother had sprained her ankle , and that you needed to fly to italy to take care of her . except you were in canada with dillon in a hotel room together . lulu : i know that dante assumed the worst , okay ? and he already told me that he trashed me to you . valerie : he wanted to go after you . he wanted to jump on a plane and confront you , but given how upset he was , i tried to talk him down . god , he was pretty volatile , and one thing lead to another , and that 's when the kiss happened . lulu : did you kiss him back ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i am telling you that your father is no longer involved with the mob in any way . sam : are you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] julian : you can doubt me all you want . the only person that matters to me is alexis . now , i told her i was leaving the business , and i have . sonny : you told her ? julian : yeah . sonny : that -- she must have loved that 'cause , you know , there 's nothing alexis would love more than to make a mobster give up the life , you know , for her sake . did you tell her that you respect her ethics and her principles , and that you 're gon na live by her rules for the rest of your life ? julian : actually , it was the death of olivia 's baby that was the wake - up call . sonny : oh . julian : i figure that it was karma for all my wrongs . sonny : hmm . well , that baby , may he rest in peace , died because he was born too soon . whatever karma you have coming to you lands on you , not that innocent baby . julian : look , i 'm telling you , sonny . i had to jump off that ride before my family ever gets caught in it again . sonny : you still trying to convince me that you 're getting out of the business to protect your family ? all right , let 's say i buy it . if it was n't you , who hijacked my shipment ? [ scene_break ] luke : tracy , i can wipe paul hornsby off the fun spectrum . i 'm just getting back to myself . give me a chance . i can put the twinkle in your eye . i can make you laugh again . we can be great together again ! tracy : maybe we can . just not now . luke : why are you saying this ? tracy : luke , your experience has changed you fundamentally , but you 're still trying to be the scam artist , the gambler who beats the odds . you 're trying to be the old luke . look at me . you need to be somebody new . luke : okay , well , i need to find out who that new guy is , and i need to find out with you . tracy : luke , the last time you proposed , you gave me 30 days to make up my mind . i 've made my decision . i can not marry you now . and you ca n't marry me , either , and you know it . luke : i am ready to marry . i am . [ sighs ] do n't turn me down . just take a little more time . tracy : i do n't need any more time . after being with paul and just being myself , i realized i need to shed the twin weights that are you and elq and just be me . luke : but you can be you with me . tracy : no , i ca n't . you 're not you yet . you have n't recovered from what happened . luke : you saw the papers . the doctors signed off . i was released ! tracy : [ sighs ] luke , i know you want to be whole . for me , for everybody that loves you . but you want to be the luke that you used to be , and you ca n't be that person again . you ca n't expect to heal after two months . luke : look , the -- the poison that i was running from , i did n't even know was in there . tracy : luke . you endured how many hours under a needle , so that you could remind yourself never to let the darkness that was your father inhabit you , but that 's just the beginning . you have to come to terms with the abuse , with the death of your mother , with the loss of your sister . luke : but i have . i have come to t - t - terms with all of that . i 'm ready to move forward , and i want to move forward with you ! tracy : you only want to marry me , so you can feel like the old luke . you have to make your peace with your history , luke . you have to absorb it in your heart and your soul . luke : okay , well , even if that 's true , that does n't negate what we have . tracy : so , when you process all that 's happened , it 's gon na change you . you 're gon na be a new man . you do n't know that that man 's gon na love me , or that i 'm -- that i 'm gon na love him . luke : what , now you 're asking me to foretell the future ? tracy : no . i 'm just -- i 'm just -- [ voice breaking ] trying to tell you that we ca n't have a life together . luke : so that 's it ? you 're done with me . so we just say good - bye ? and go off in separate directions ? tracy : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sam : i want to believe him , i really do , just like i wanted to believe him that night that we were at the art gallery , and he said that he was leaving the mob . and five seconds later , lucas gets shot . alexis : and he was forced to lie because luke was threatening to kill him and us . sam : luke , who is so completely recovered , that he leaves tracy at their engagement party . alexis : i do n't know whether luke is better or not . i know that he 's no longer in the mob , which has allowed julian to clean up his act . [ scene_break ] julian : there 's no shortage of players out there looking to take my place . one of them must have taken your shipment . sonny : that 's all you 're gon na give me ? 'cause it 's pretty vague . julian : [ sighs ] i 'm sure your latest rival will surface soon enough . i just came by to tell you that my hands are clean . sonny : yeah , well , you know what ? maybe they are . julian : good , i 'm glad we understand each other . sonny : no , what i understand is , i overestimated you , julian . because when you said you were coming over here to take what 's mine , i thought you were serious . but you know what ? you 're just talk ! it 's all you are . you ca n't pay the price . you ca n't carry the weight . when the stakes get too high , you fold like a deck of cards , and you run . julian : well , you call it what you want . i will call it what i want . i 'm out . i 'm out . now that you know that , do n't waste your time coming after me . sonny : hey , julian . do n't lie to me . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , what happened between me and valerie took place while i was off duty , in the privacy of my own home . so , to be honest with you , the truth is , you do n't know nothing about it . jordan : uh , detective ? why do n't you enlighten me ? dante : my wife and i are trying to work things out . i explained that to valerie . she understands . she 's actually pretty cool about it . jordan : you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i know why dante kissed you . what i need to know is , did you kiss him back ? valerie ! valerie : the kiss stopped almost as soon as it started . dante was feeling bad because you lied to him , and then you took off on a trip to british columbia to spend the night in a hotel room with dillon ? lulu : to try to save my brother ! valerie : well , i did n't want him to feel bad about me , too , so i left . lulu : that 's the way dante told it , too . is there anything else you need to tell me ? valerie : yes . there is something else . [ scene_break ] [ maxie & nathan shower together ] maxie : i feel a thousand times better . nathan : me , too . maxie : that 's not the better i was referring to . nathan : oh ? then , come on , let 's go . maxie : where are we going ? nathan : we are going back to the shower . i 'm not gon na stop until you feel better in every possible way . maxie : no , no . i feel better , indescribably better . i have n't been able to think this straight in , like , the last 12 hours . and if you take me back to the shower , i will be basically incoherent . nathan : and what 's wrong with that ? maxie : nothing . [ laughs ] but i 'm trying to be a good friend , and i have not gotten an update on the weirdness between dillon and lulu . like how she said they had to lie and run off together to save lucky 's life . speaking of , have you talked to dante ? did he find out where lulu really went ? nathan : no , i -- i have n't touched base with him today . i was too busy working all those extra shifts so i could take time off to welcome you home . maxie : what was i saying ? nathan : i have no idea . maxie : right , lulu and dante . okay , i 'm sure all is right in their world , and they 're back to being the most blissful married couple that i know . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm sorry about the kiss . lulu : anything else ? valerie : it was not my intention to go to your apartment and kiss your husband . i was just checking on my friend who i knew was hurting . and as it turns out , dante and i were wrong about what was going on between you and dillon , but neither of us could have known that , because you chose to lie . lulu : so you 're saying that this is all my fault . valerie : no , i 'm saying that a lot of mistakes were made , but it 's over . and i 'm not into your husband , and i 'm -- i 'm not a threat to your marriage . this has n't been easy for me , lulu . god ! meeting my long - lost family , adjusting to the idea that you 're my cousin . and i get the sense that it has n't been easy for you , either . lulu : i did the best i could to welcome you , okay ? valerie : and i 'm doing the best i can to find my way . i understand how important family is to you . not just dante or rocco , but your father , and your brothers , and the whole spencer clan . so , since i 'm family , is there any way we can get through this ? [ scene_break ] dante : valerie assured me that she 's okay with how things worked out . why are you telling me she is n't ? jordan : i just do n't think that valerie is the type of person who just shakes something like this off . dante : well , i can assure you that i 'm not taking what happened lightly . jordan : oh , and i hope you mean that . just , look , do n't hurt valerie any more than you already have . and above all , do not , i repeat , do not let this happen again . i do n't think i have to warn you about the consequences of this type of behavior in my department . are we clear ? dante : clear . i hope you can accept my apology . jordan : i do . but i do n't think i 'm the one who needs to forgive you . [ scene_break ] alexis : he says he wants a life with me , and he 's willing to accept my terms .

[ scene_break ] julian : hi , darling . so , what mother - daughter secrets are you two sharing , hmm ? alexis : mm . i was telling sam about the motion i 'm filing against nikolas on behalf to the quartermaines . julian : i have to say , your nephew had me fooled . i really did n't think that prince nikolas had it in him to screw over the quartermaines so royally . alexis : neither did we . we believed in nikolas , and as it turns out , he 's been lying to everyone . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu . hey , what are you doing here ? lulu : i came to see my cousin . i needed to clear the air between us . dante : and did you ? lulu : yeah . we discussed the kiss between you two . she said it was a mistake . she assured me that she does not have feelings for you , so it 's over . everything can go back to the way it was . valerie 's my cousin . the two of you can be just friends again . [ scene_break ] maxie : it totally looked like lulu and dillon were sneaking off together , and i guess technically they were , but it was n't sexually . they were just being adventurous and rescuing her brother , so some things ca n't be judged by appearances . some people actually have really good , noble reasons for running off and lying . nathan : anything 's possible . maxie : on the other hand , some things are exactly as they seem . exhibit `` a , `` lulu 's cousin , valerie . she is way too into dante . i know he thinks that they 're just friends , but she wants more . nathan : speaking of more -- maxie : nope , mnh - mnh . i ca n't eat one more bite . nathan : i was n't talking about the food . maxie : well , you must want more of something . nathan : well , i thought that since we just got clean with our little vertical encounter in the shower , that we might try getting dirty with an encounter of the horizontal variety . maxie : maybe then we could try diagonally . [ scene_break ] luke : tracy angelica . tracy , my past only showed me where i 'd been , and i -- i 'm gon na have to find out where i 'm going on my own . tracy : knowing it 's right does n't make it any easier to say good - bye . luke : no , it does n't . but no matter what happens , whether we do end up married or -- do n't see each other again , you will always be part of me . who 'd of thunk it , huh ? tracy : [ laughs ] luke : smart , savvy heiress from the quartermaine family and a smart - mouthed , blue - collar punk from elm street ? nobody would have ever thought those two would work together , but we worked . and how lucky was i to have had a few years loving you , being your friend , and your sometimes nemesis . tracy : [ laughs ] luke : i 'll always be grateful for that . tracy : i was the lucky one . it was a privilege to know you and to love you . you will always be the best time i 've ever had . luke : i will love you forever . tracy : [ voice breaking ] i 'll -- love you forever , too .

[ scene_break ] ric : well , i guess if i were a good son , then i would stay here and help you out , but unfortunately , i have things to take care of . trevor : richard , it 's time to work on the spin . i will meet you at the police station . ric : do n't bother , trevor . i 've got it from here on out . thank you . trevor : do n't you even think for a second i 'm going to turn john over to you -- anthony : enough already . will you please stop fighting and get johnny out of this ? because if anything happens to him , you 're both going to pay . ric : reality , anthony , please . just join us for a minute , okay ? because the truth of the matter , all threats aside , in order for your son to stay alive , i 've got to stay alive . anthony : [ chuckles ] you 've got one treacherous kid there , a little dim as well . he really does n't seem to understand that if john dies , you both die with him . trevor : now you be quiet for a minute . for years now , i have been cleaning up after johnny while you , old man , you sat in the corner tied up in your straight jacket drooling on yourself . i did the best i could to teach him everything he needs to know . anthony : yeah , so you could take over . but i fooled you , trevor . i got better . trevor : yeah , and a lot of good that did . you know something ? i could give a damn how many threats you make because if anything bad happens to johnny , it is on you . [ scene_break ] lulu : i just keep thinking about the night i hit him with the wrench . i was wrong then . he was not the text message killer . what if i was wrong again ? johnny : i was there , lulu . remember ? he had his hand over your mouth . lulu : yeah , to keep me from screaming . he wanted to explain . johnny : okay , will you listen to what you just said ? you had just found a whole string of evidence that tied logan to the killings . you thought he had just killed your best friend . you had every reason to think you were next . lulu : well , he loved me . he was desperate for me to love him back . desperate people make mistakes . johnny : okay , but , come on , you had just seen what he did to maxie . he was n't a victim in either situation . he attacked maxie , busted through my door with an axe -- what were you supposed to do ? lulu : are you saying logan deserved to die ? johnny : i 'm saying you had every right to defend yourself . lulu : well , maybe you can kill someone and not feel bad about it . i ca n't . [ scene_break ] trevor : let 's get this straight , once and for all . i spent a good part of my life protecting john . and i even ran this business while you were out roaming around in your garden looking for your dead wife . anthony : you helped him because you wanted to use him as a figurehead , trevor . the worst day of your life was the day i started to get well . trevor : no , i raised that kid because nobody else could be bothered to . and i have always put john 's best interests first . i told you right from the start that lulu spencer is not one of them . she is an immature brat , and she neither understands nor respects the reality of john 's life nor the danger that surrounds him . oh , god , i knew this thing was going to happen . that 's why i tried to send her away the first time that john laid eyes on her . but no , no , no , you -- you -- you would n't have it . you would n't hear of it . you wanted to encourage that relationship . you wanted to use lulu for leverage . and now the truth of it is you put your own son 's life at risk , not me . anthony : you find my son for me , trevor . and when you do , we 'll set him free . lulu spencer is going to die . [ scene_break ] nikolas : lulu 's been asking me for help with this for months . she kept telling me how confused she was about her feelings for this -- this guy , johnny , and i just -- nadine : it 's hard to sort that stuff out sometimes . nikolas : i 've just been so preoccupied with my own stuff . i really did n't listen to her . i should have just kept telling her over and over -- stay away from him , stay away from him . i could have kept her busy at the -- at the clinic . i could have invited her to come live at wyndemere for a while . i could have -- i do n't know . instead , i told her to follow her heart . nadine : that 's never bad advice . nikolas : i do n't need any platitudes right now , thank you . nadine : well , you followed your heart with emily , did n't you ? would n't you do that again ? [ scene_break ] ric : look , i got to admit , i was astonished to find out that you , of all people , helped johnny and lulu escape . it does occur to me that you 're trying to broker a truce between yourself and my employer . after all , you did try to burn anthony 's house to the ground . so if you were afraid of retaliation , it 's a smart move , jason . but you botched the whole thing , okay ? now johnny is in more danger than ever , and so is lulu . jason : should i call for a guard ? ric : i 'm just trying to help , jason . jason : you want to help ? get out . [ scene_break ] maxie : claudia is right . i 'm an awful person . i think only of myself , and i 'll do whatever it takes to get what i want . but you 've always known that about me . yes , i would have been happy to seduce johnny and get the money . i would have enjoyed hurting lulu 's feelings . but i 've also helped her when she 's been in some major trouble . claudia : to get points with john . maxie : sometimes i have an agenda . that 's just how i think . but , spinelli , you 're my best friend , and i 've done my best to be a good friend to you as well . and i 'm just -- i 'm asking you , do n't trust claudia , okay ? she 's not on your side . spinelli : the jackal appreciates your honesty . your attempt to turn the jackal against maximista has failed , but the jackal forgives vixenella for her harsh attempt at leverage . he realizes that she 's just motivated by her deep concern for her missing sibling . claudia : is n't there some way that you can help me ? i helped you when you were sick . i helped jason , too . spinelli : if stone cold authorizes your request , i would be more than happy to provide my expert assistance . claudia : i 'll be back . maxie : you 're really disappointed in me , right ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i do n't care how scared i was . i took a human life . johnny : okay , but logan attacked you . he could 've killed you . lulu : yeah , maybe , maybe not , but i ca n't go back and apologize . i ca n't explain to him how scared i was . johnny : you do n't have to . lulu : well , i need to be held accountable for what i did . i ca n't act like logan did n't matter . he did n't deserve to die . johnny : okay , lulu , think for a second about what really happened , what you really saw . you saw logan attack maxie . he threw her across kate 's desk . for all you knew , maxie was dead . he then busted through my door with an axe , for god 's sakes , not to prove to you how much he loved you or because you broke his heart . no , he wanted to make sure that you did n't tell anyone what he did to maxie . lulu : yeah , but i had enough time to go call the cops or to leave or to get help , but i did n't . i froze . i panicked just like my mother did the night rick webber died . [ scene_break ] carly : you going to say goodbye to morgan ? jax : wow , that 's low . carly : why ? morgan loves you . he 's lost michael . he 's lost sonny . and now you 're leaving him . jax : no , i 'm not leaving him . i 'm planning to call him every day and go to every one of his karate classes . i 'll spend as much time with morgan as you will allow me to . carly : i would n't keep morgan away from you . he loves you . jax : yeah , and i love him , too . but it 's not fair to try to use him to get me to stay , okay ? carly : i do n't care . i do n't care . if that 's fighting dirty , i 'll do it . i 'm going to do whatever it takes because i know you want to stay married to me . i 'm just trying to stop you from making a huge mistake . jax : oh , really ? so you 're doing me a favor . is that what you 're saying ? carly : you know , you obviously do n't want to fight for this marriage . so i 'll -- i 'll do the fighting . we 're not perfect . we 've been through hell . we 've both made mistakes . but when i said for better or worse , i was n't kidding . jax : neither was i. i just never signed up for misery . carly : well , you know , maybe sometimes misery is a part of the deal , jax . you know , marriage is like any other long - term investment . you have rough spots , but you 're richer in the end . that 's the point of taking wedding vows , so you stick around when you feel like leaving . i 'm keeping my vows . what about you ? jax : i have been every bit as committed to this marriage as you have . carly : really ? that 's why you 're walking out the door again . jax : as i mentioned before , the only time you seem to notice me is when i 'm walking out the door . carly : and you say i 'm manipulative ? you know being abandoned is one of my greatest fears , and every single time something does n't go your way , you leave . jax : i 've tried to make this work , carly . carly : and when i do n't respond the way you want me to respond , you leave . jax : you promised not to undercut my investment in `` crimson , `` and you turn around , and you did exactly that . carly : this is not about your investment . it 's about kate -- jax : no , this has nothing to do with kate . carly : oh , okay . jax : this is about trust and respect . carly : i trust you , and i respect you . but there 's no way i 'm going to let kate ruin our marriage over a lie . jax : you knew exactly -- you knew exactly what was at stake when you lied about the meeting . carly : no one left a message . why wo n't you believe me ? jax : i do n't want to fight anymore . i 'm done . carly : you know what ? you know that kate set me up . you 're using this as an excuse to leave , and if i did n't love you so much , i might let you go . jax : oh , you ai n't letting me do anything . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal could never pass judgment on any of maximista 's choices . in fact , he admired how she refused to be blackmailed by vixenella . it was -- it was most courageous to tell the truth . maxie : no one 's ever believed in me as much as you , except for georgie . even when i would do crazy , stupid stuff and she 'd be furious , she would never give up on me . spinelli : wise georgie -- i miss her . maxie : me , too . i think she would be really happy that we 're friends . in a way , it 's like the last thing she gave me , my connection with you . you really are my closest friend , and i would never want to do anything that would ruin that . i 'm glad that you forgave me . maxie : anyway , i better go . it 's getting late . spinelli : wait -- wait -- stone cold told us that we should stay together . would -- spending the night be out of the question ? maxie : mac would pull a gasket . actually , he 's going to be working for the rest of the night , so i guess all i would have to do would be leave him a message that he wo n't get until tomorrow . [ scene_break ] ric : look , an apb that justifies deadly force is excessive . it 's unwarranted . john zacchara is no more a threat to the public than you are . we do n't even know if lulu spencer has been taken hostage . mac : you 're wasting your breath . i am not downgrading the apb . ric : mac , if there 's a shoot out , lulu could get hurt . lucky : thank you . we had n't thought of that . ric : boys , the mayor is out dealing with the press . now the sooner you two can diffuse the situation , the better it 's going to be for everybody . nikolas : hey , tell me where your son took my sister . nadine : nikolas -- nikolas : where are they ? anthony : your sister brought that gun to john , did n't she ? if anything happens to my son -- nikolas : look , if you want to spirit your son off to some -- some other country , i really do n't care , but you 're going to tell me where my sister is . anthony : oh , you do n't care . you mean i have your approval ? nikolas : you just tell john , let lulu go . anthony : if i knew the whereabouts of my son and little lulu , why am i here ? [ phone ringing ] nikolas : to cover your own back and make yourself look innocent when you know it was all your doing . anthony : listen to me . there is no way my son pulls a stunt like this on his own . your sister talked h into it . she 's nothing but trouble . she 's unstable . she 's a nutcase just like your mother . nikolas : you son of a -- anthony : hey -- mac : nikolas . ric : let go , let go . come on . [ scene_break ] lucky : you need to go home . you 're not helping anybody . lulu : my mother lost her mind because she thought she killed someone . she panicked like i did . she was defending herself , and when my dad tried to help get her to face the truth , she could n't stand it . johnny : that was your mother , not you . lulu : but i could still confess . i mean , my -- i could get a good lawyer , and my family would be behind me . at least it would be telling the truth . johnny : lulu , it 's a little too late for the truth to matter to anyone . [ knock on door ] [ scene_break ] ric : look , commissioner scorpio is just making a bad situation worse , mayor . but if you were to remove the deadly force from the apb , i 'm sure everyone -- mayor floyd : that thug tried to kill me and stole my car . ric : if we give john zacchara the opportunity to turn himself in , i think everybody could save face . mayor floyd : i would rather see the pcpd take effective action . trevor : if johnny releases lulu , you can take the credit . ric : exactly . mayor floyd : what if he does n't ? what if he blows h brains out ? i promised the voters to be tough on crime . i intend to keep that promise . claudia : johnny would never hurt anyone , especially lulu . mayor floyd : tell that to logan hays . claudia : the police forced john into this , and you are going to hunt him -- mayor floyd : for all we know , you smuggled that gun in here and helped him escape . ric : ms. zacchara was n't even here , mayor . mayor floyd : she may also have helped her brother kill logan hayes . i understand the evidence is leading in that direction . ric : oh , be careful , mayor . you might want to avoid a libel suit by changing the subject . [ scene_break ] anthony : i could sit here as long as you can . i got nothing else to do . i 'm inclined to think lulu brought john that gun . you know , hysterical girl not thinking clearly , and her brother 's a cop so nobody bothered to search her . now , the only person who could have arranged for that gun is you . [ chuckles ] maybe you were trying to get on my good side -- help my son escape to make amends for burning my house to the ground . jason : do n't know what you 're talking about . anthony : listen , if john dies , i 'll have nothing to lose . i 'll kill you first , and then i will bring a reign of chaos and terror on this town the likes of which no one has ever seen . so i suggest you put your people to work , mr. morgan , and make damn sure my son comes home safe . [ scene_break ] maxie : i thought you could n't look for johnny and lulu without jason 's permission . spinelli : uh , the jackal must await stone cold 's approval only to disclose the pertinent data . besides , the sooner the jackal begins the hunt , the better the chances he 'll find fair lulu and the mob prince . do you have any idea where they might flee ? maxie : well , what is it that you have so far ? because this is just a bunch of numbers and dashes . it does n't really make sense . [ knock on door ] mac : maxie , it 's your father . maxie : the one time he checks his messages . [ knocking on door ] mac : open this door . maxie : i 'm coming . mac : there 's no way you 're spending the night here now or ever . maxie : this is my personal life , and you ca n't interfere . mac : you 're not shacking up in a criminal 's apartment , in jason morgan 's living room . spinelli : oh , if i may intercede on maximista 's behalf -- mac : stay out of this , spinelli . maxie : do n't talk to spinelli like that . spinelli : stone cold only wishes maximista to be safe as we all do . mac : you 're not staying here . do you understand ? i 'm not going to lose another daughter . spinelli : perhaps to honor wise georgie you should obey your well - meaning , if apoplectic parent . mac : now come on , let 's go . the squad car is waiting downstairs . maxie : oh , i 'm not going anywhere in a squad car . mac : with the lights and sirens . maxie : i 'm serious . mac : do you understand ? i 'm keeping you safe , maxie , whether you like it or not . maxie : all right , i 'll just find my own way home or stay here . mac : i do n't have time to argue . maxie : fine , you win . we 'll ride home in the squad car . but i swear , as soon as we get there , i 'll hightail it to the metro court and have sex with the first bell man i can find . [ scene_break ] nadine : john zacchara would never hurt lulu . nikolas : no , maybe not intentionally . but if i know lulu , she would do anything to save him . throw herself into the line of fire -- what happens if she gets too close when the police start shooting ? how close was michael to sonny when he got hit ? nadine : it 's not going to be the same thing . nikolas : i mean , i know i should n't talk like that . it 's just -- nadine : well , sometimes you have to say things out loud to take away the power . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] lulu : [ whispering ] we should go back out the window . johnny : no . lulu : but it could be the cops . johnny : it 's not . they would have said so by now . it 's just a nosy neighbor , i 'm sure . be right there . [ scene_break ] jax : look , i refuse to waste any more of my time or your time living the way we are now , making up one moment and then crashing into a brick wall the next . carly : then you stay and give us a chance . jax : i have stayed , carly . i have tried . we just -- we just need to let this be over . carly : it breaks my heart that you do n't believe me about the meeting because that means you think i set out to deliberately hurt you , and i would n't do that . and you 're -- you 're letting kate rip our marriage apart . jax : kate is not a threat to you . i do not know how else i can say it , but if you ca n't trust me enough to take me at my word , then there 's no point in -- carly : how about you taking me at my word about the meeting ? jax : forget about the meeting . carly : okay , you saying that means that you know kate set me up . jax : it 's too late for it to matter . carly : okay , really ? jax : yeah . carly : you want to leave me , you go ahead , but you kiss me goodbye first . carly : see , you do love me . jax : yeah . i always will . carly : jax . carly : jax !

[ scene_break ] man : who are you and what are you doing here ? johnny : i 'm joe . i was a , uh -- student of professor siegel 's . he taught me piano when i was a kid , and i moved to chicago and we kept in touch . he said i was always welcome man : so you just decided to visit ? lulu : well , i 'm starting at nyu in the fall . man : and you are ? lulu : uh , linda . joe 's been talking about wanting to see professor siegel for a while , and i thought that this would be the perfect opportunity . he 's an amazing piano player . he has to decide if he 's going to go the classical route or if he 's going to continue with the band , and who better to go to for advice than his old teacher ? man : that 's a nice story . only trouble is , professor siegel is dead . | kate 's successful ruse proves to be the straw that breaks jax 's back ; he announces that his marriage to carly is over , but she wo n't allow him to leave . she 's willing to fight for their love . she reminds him that for better or worse was part of their vows . claudia breaks the news to spinelli that maxie was willing to whore with johnny for twenty grand potentially . both trevor and rick find their lives on the line ; if johnny dies , they 're both goners . nikolas , lucky , claudia , the cops , anthony , and the lansings all try to figure out how to find the young fugitives . |
edward : i realize you have that you have ultimate faith in jason , and he would move heaven and earth to help you , but there are ways that jason and sonny are limited . and it 's in those ways that i shine . michael : i understand that the quartermaines carry a lot of weight . edward : mm - hmm . more than you know . now , i can help you get out of any trouble that you 're in , but i have to be fully informed . michael : um , it 's no big deal . edward : all right . if that 's what you say , i 'll accept it . but remember , the quartermaines are a family , and you are family , and the family comes first , always . tracy : i do n't think he deserves that privilege . in fact , i think he ought to be disowned and carted off to jail for the damage he did tonight . [ scene_break ] sam : all right , what 's going on ? jason : well , claudia has been admitted to e.r . , but they 're not going to tell me anything else . sam : yeah , well , come on . if claudia rolled her car , we could be talking serious injuries right now , not only to her , but to that baby . jason : and michael is at a critical stage in his recovery . he 's just trying to fit back into his life . knowing that he caused this kind of damage could destroy him . sam : oh , uh , jason , i just do n't understand why you 're so convinced that it was michael . it -- it just as easily could have been kristina who caused this accident . [ scene_break ] alexis : why are you so sure there was another vehicle involved in claudia 's accident ? kristina : it 's common sense , right ? i mean , claudia rolled her car . i just assumed it was because of another driver . alexis : well , could be an animal or maybe she was going so fast that her car lost control . so , i mean , at this point , there 's no indication that there was another vehicle involved . kristina : really ? alexis : mm - hmm . honey , some things just happen randomly . as far as we know , there was no one at fault here . that 's why it 's called an accident . [ scene_break ] [ claudia groans ] sonny : are you saying claudia and the baby could die ? patrick : we 're obviously going to try to prevent that . it 's a very serious situation . what happens to claudia , happens to the baby . johnny : okay , so what 's your game plan ? patrick : we run more tests , get some answers . when we get the answers , we 'll recommend a course of action . we 'll go over the options . sonny : do n't let money be an obstacle . i 'll get specialists , i 'll get consultants . johnny : typical sonny to throw money at a situation , see if it goes away . claudia : come on , john . please no , not now . not here . thank you . thank you . johnny : you know , you can excuse yourself , too . claudia : johnny , i do n't know what 's going on , but this is a catastrophe , and i want my husband with me . [ scene_break ] olivia : why am i so worried about claudia zacchara ? that 's a really good question . that 's a -- that 's an excellent question . it 's right to the point . it 's very direct . it 's just how i like them . so i could return the favor by , um , insulting your intelligence and telling you the whole story about how , you know , i really feel for what she 's going through because i 'm a mother and i can empathize with what she 's feeling , but it would be a complete load of horse crap . complete and total lie . because what i 'm really feeling right now is horribly , horribly guilty because while claudia was rolling her car , i was in my apartment with my tongue halfway down her husband 's throat . carly : what ? olivia : i know . carly : wow . okay , well , i 'm not even going to begin to judge because that would be laughable , but i really hope you know what you 're doing . [ scene_break ] claudia : i ca n't believe this happened . i should have known . sonny : how ? [ claudia scoffs ] claudia : i was -- i was happy , sonny . i was actually happy . and i should have known that that would n't last . i never got the chance to tell you , by the way , the baby is yours . no tricks . dr. lee double checked . she did it in an outside lab . sonny : yeah , i know , i know . 'cause i was -- i was with her checking out the test results when she got a call that you were in an accident . claudia : i was so happy . everything seemed like it was going to be okay . the baby had the right father and ... and now -- i do n't know . i 've never been so scared in my whole life . sonny : you 're a strong woman . you 're gon na use that strength to get you and the baby through this to the other side . [ claudia sniffles ] claudia : patrick said i could die . sonny : that 's not gon na happen . 'cause we 're not gon na let that happen . including you . you 're not giving up , are you ? claudia : no . sonny : i 'm here , okay ? and , you know , i know i have n't stepped up -- [ sighs ] -- but , um , i 'm here right now , and i 'm going to give you every ounce of support and strength that i -- that i have . you have patrick , who i can tell you right now is -- i 've seen him in action . he 's one of the most gifted , talented surgeons i 've ever seen . and ... we 're gon na get through this . claudia : the baby . sonny : the ... the baby has my genes , your genes . so that means he 's the ultimate survivor . what you have to do now -- close your eyes . close your eyes . gather your strength . you 're in for a fight . and the only choice you have is to win it . okay ? [ scene_break ] edward : that 's a little over the top , tracy , even for you . whatever trouble michael might be in , i can get him out of it . michael , just ignore tracy . she blows a lot of hot air , and she will make your life miserable within these walls , but when push comes to shove , the quartermaines always present a united front . tracy : well , obviously you do n't know what happened . michael caused a brawl at the country club . and when chip howell objected , michael called daddy , and daddy showed up with his thugs and threatened to decapitate chip howell 's wife 's prized arabian . [ edward chuckles ] tracy : you find that amusing ? edward : no , no , no . but i think a headless horse might be chip howell 's least worry . if that fool makes my great grandson feel uncomfortable in the country club which was practically built with my money , i can and will find him bankrupt on the street . tracy : so you 're willing to compromise the quartermaine social standing for a corinthos ? because that 's what he is , daddy . and no amount of wishing is going to change that fundamental fact . [ scene_break ] mac : can you estimate the speed claudia was traveling at the time of impact ? man : not yet , but look at the distance her car rolled . mac : so we 're just looking at a single car incident ? i mean , she spun out , rolled , and crashed . lucky : mac . we got a second set of skid marks . mac : which direction ? lucky : opposite . headed straight for claudia . mac : well , that 's it , then . a car appeared in claudia 's lane , approaching fast . she swerved to avoid it and bam . i guess we 're looking for the driver of the other car , lucky . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , the object is to figure out whether or not michael could be responsible for claudia 's crash , so i need to know everything you know . jason : okay , uh , i know that michael 's car slid off the road , at the very least . and i know that he was traveling from the quartermaine 's to jake 's , so that puts him on harbor view road . sam : yeah . and claudia rolled her car near the intersection of harbor view and oak bluff . jason : right . and them michael said that another driver came up on him , was tailgating him . passed him , cut him off . he got angry , he started chasing that car . and then what happened was he took a turn too wide , he ended up in the oncoming lane heading straight toward another car , and that car had to swerve to avoid him . [ sam sighs ] sam : jason , i really , um , i hate to admit this , but it does n't look good for him . [ scene_break ] alexis : honey , will you sit down ? you 're wearing out a path in the carpet . kristina : can you throw the d.a . card ? alexis : well -- kristina : get the hospital to tell you if claudia and the baby are okay ? alexis : why are you so concerned ? kristina : what kind of question is that ? claudia is dad 's wife . she 's having his baby , my little brother or sister . it 's scary to think something terrible might happen to them . alexis : okay . calm down . all right . i promise if i hear anything , i will let you know , okay ? in the meantime , change of subject . all right , tell me , what did you do with ashley today ? kristina : i have to make a confession . alexis : i 'm waiting . you have a confession ? kristina : i have n't been completely honest with you . alexis : you mean you lied ? kristina : i gave you misdirection . okay , i lied . alexis : from the top . kristina : remember when i told you i was at the coffee house with ashley tonight ? alexis : mm - hmm . kristina : i was really out with kiefer . we went to the country club , then we were going to go to a party . but then you called and i felt guilty , so i told him to bring me back here . i know it was wrong of me to lie . i 'm sorry . are you gon na ground me ? alexis : if i had found this out from somebody else , yes , you would be very grounded . but because you were honest and you did n't make the situation any worse -- [ telephone rings ] alexis : you have a reprieve . [ ring ] [ ring ] it 's mac . i have to take it . [ ring ] what 's happening ? mac : we may be looking at a criminal investigation of reckless driving . evidence at the scene indicates another car forced claudia off the road . [ scene_break ] claudia : so , uh , what happens now ? between us , i mean . sonny : all you need to do is focus on getting you and the baby through this . we 'll get over -- through that , you know , when it 's time . [ sighs ] claudia : you disappointed ? sonny : why would i be ? claudia : heh heh . it 's no secret you were planning on dumping me if the baby was ric 's . sonny : we do n't have to get into that right now . that was ... do n't worry about that , okay ? johnny : i 'd like a moment alone with my sister . claudia : mm . okay . okay . sonny : i 'll be right back . claudia : johnny . look , i know what you 're thinking , but me and sonny , we 're gon na work it out . it 's what we both want . johnny : what sonny wants , claudia , does n't have a damn thing to do with you . [ scene_break ] olivia : sonny caught me in a weak moment . okay , i had old music playing on the box and old pictures in my hand and old memories rolling around in my head . and i just -- i know that that 's no excuse . it does n't matter . i know the score . sonny is a married man . he 's a gangster . and now he 's the father of claudia zacchara 's one and only child . i -- i -- kissing him was just the most hypocritical , idiotic thing that i could ... carly : but you did it anyway . olivia : i 'm an idiot . i mean , what can i say ? the man just ... god , he just gets to me . carly : nothing tastes sweeter than the forbidden fruit . now look what happened . olivia : right . and i swear -- i know you 're not going to believe this , but i did not come to port charles looking for a second chance with sonny . i swear . carly : you 're preaching to the choir . i know the sonny drill . you fall hard . and when you realize what you 've gotten yourself into , you try to get out , but it 's too late . you 're already under the spell , the cycle 's already started , and it 's really hard to deny sonny when he 's all needy for you . but it 's a permanent condition . it 's a hole no mortal woman could ever hope to fill . okay , answer me this . if sonny showed up at your door and the baby turned out to be ric 's , so he was free of claudia , free of kate , what would you do ? sonny : answer . i want to hear the answer to that . olivia : if you think that i 'm going to have this conversation with you right here while your wife and your child are fighting for their life , you are sorely mistaken . thank you for listening . carly : anytime . olivia : you 're all in my prayers . sonny : what was that about ? carly : i 'm not going to tell you . how 's claudia ? sonny : i do n't know . i mean , the doctor 's saying one thing . the baby 's at risk , she 's in trouble , and they 're doing tests . what about you ? carly : i 'm good . okay . sonny : you risked your life . why 'd you -- i mean , pulling her out of the car . carly : well , what was i going to do ? i 'm not going to let a pregnant woman go up in flames . by the way , it 's the only reason i saved her . it was scary . there was a gas leak . and i do have to tell you , she was all about saving that baby . sonny : it 's my baby now , too . and so far , i have n't been much of a father . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] michael : hey . kristina : did you hear ? michael : what ? kristina : claudia got into a terrible accident tonight . she swerved to avoid an oncoming car and wiped out . [ scene_break ] jason : we ca n't know for sure if kristina was driving near claudia 's crash site . what we do know , on the other hand , is michael admits that he was almost in a head - on collision in that area . sam : all right , so i guess now the question becomes that if michael is responsible for claudia 's accident , what are you gon na do about it ? jason : what else can i do but cover for him ? sam : jason , what if -- what if the baby dies ? what if they both die ? jason : i mean , i 'd be sorry , but it was n't michael 's fault . it was an accident . sam : ohh . i do n't -- i do n't know about this . jason : what -- sam : i just -- i do n't know . this just hits so many levels right now . i do n't know . the ... start with the first one . you 're telling me right now that you are willing to help michael get away with vehicular manslaughter ? jason : sam , you know it 's more complicated than that . michael can not carry this burden right now . knowing that he did this when he should n't even be driving that stupid car in the first place could set him all the way back to zero . he 's been through too much . the kid 's lost enough . sam : i get it . i do . i get it . jason : okay , then i 'm going to have to ask you to keep this between us . sam : no , you do n't . jason , that obviously goes without saying . jason : thank you . [ sighs ] i should get to the hospital . sonny has to know about this . sam : ugh . i do not envy you for having to tell him this . jason : i mean , i 'm the one who feels bad because if michael is responsible for claudia 's accident , sonny 's the one who gave him the car . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , here 's the deal . ric and claudia were sleeping together before we got married . they did n't see any reason to stop with -- eh , no surprise there . so this whole time i 've been waiting for the amnio to find out if i 'm the baby 's father . and i got to tell you , a big part of me wanted it to be ric 's so i can stop the madness , walk away from her , walk away from the marriage . and as you know , tonight i find out the baby 's mine . definitely . and now the baby is at risk , claudia 's at risk , so for some unspeakable , twisted ... i 'm getting what i want . carly : hey . sonny : come on . carly : you did n't ask for this . sonny : yeah , i know , but ... carly : you said `` his . `` sonny : yeah , it 's a boy . another boy . another chance to get it right , hold onto it , if i do n't screw it up . carly : good luck with that . sonny : i 'll take that . i got to go . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] claudia : please , johnny , i 'm begging you . i never needed anything more from you in all of our lives . just tell me that you 'll make an effort with sonny . johnny : claudia , why are you fighting so hard for somebody that wo n't even lift a finger for you ? claudia : i want my son to know both of his parents . i want him to be able to look around and see that he 's surrounded by his friends and family and extended family , and i need you , i need ... i need his uncle to help me make that happen . just say you 'll try with sonny . please . [ scene_break ] patrick : sorry to interrupt . how are you feeling ? claudia : you know . why is she here ? patrick : i asked robin to consult . robin : if you do n't want my help , i understand . claudia : no , i 'm sorry . i -- i 'm sorry . i could use all the help i can get right now . sonny : what are we looking at ? patrick : all the test results are n't in yet , but i wanted you to be prepared . the situation may not resolve itself . we might have to intervene . claudia : and intervening might be harmful to the baby , right ? [ scene_break ] michael : is alexis here ? kristina : at her office dealing with claudia 's accident . michael : i need you to tell me everything you know about it . kristina : why are you so freaked out ? michael : just tell me . kristina : mom said the police think a driver coming from the opposite direction swerved into claudia 's lane , and she tried to avoid the car and rolled . michael : where was the crash ? kristina : harbor view road . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] alexis : oh , good . sam : uh , a little late to be at the office , do n't you think ? alexis : all right , i want to talk to you about something , and i really do n't want kristina and molly to know about this if at all possible . sam : okay . alexis : i did something -- i did another stupid thing . sam : oh , no . alexis : all right , wait . let me back up . i was having a conversation with molly about this mayor floyd thing . and she said to me , `` mommy , all these people are lying about you . why are n't you doing anything ? `` and i thought , well , she 's right . why am i being so passive ? sam : oh , no . alexis : so i came up with the brilliant idea to go over to mayor floyd 's house . sam : yeah , you did something stupid . alexis : i tol -- i already admitted that it was stupid . so i thought i could appeal to his better nature . apparently he does n't have one . but what he does have is a wife who is crazy like a bat . so i get into an argument with her , and that 's when i realize that mayor floyd has security cameras . so now there 's footage of me stomping up to the door and -- if anyone gets a hold of that footage , i might as well just pack up and move . sam : wait a minute . mayor floyd lives on harbor view road , does n't he ? alexis : yeah . [ scene_break ] olivia : what part of `` go back to brooklyn `` did you not understand ? dominic : wow . if i was n't so well - adjusted , i might be hurt that my ma does n't want me to hang around . olivia : do n't even joke like that , honey . you know that you 're my heart and you 're my soul , and you 've been the center of my life since the day you were born . it took all the self control that i had not to -- not to epoxy myself to you and monitor your every breath like mrs. luccese did for poor sal . dominic : hey , how is sal ? is he still doing 5 to 10 at attica ? olivia : from the day that you were born , i promised myself that my perfect little baby boy was never going to suffer from having a too dumb , too young mother who did n't have a clue how to raise him . okay , i swore that i would figure it out somehow and that you were gon na grow up to be strong and smart and respectful of women and well - adjusted . and you know what , i busted my ass , but i did a pretty good job 'cause i got you through and you 're this wonderful man . and i would really like to keep it that way , sweetie , okay ? so i would really appreciate a little bit of cooperation here . you need to get our ass out of town . dominic : what the hell is wrong with you ?

[ johnny scoffs ] claudia : no , really . i mean , including me . i ... i realize that everything i used to scoff at is true . you do fall deeply , madly forever in love , and you realize that something more important than you exists and miracles do happen . my baby 's the reason for everything . and i know that sonny feels the same way . i know he does . [ scene_break ] sonny : robin . robin : hmm ? sonny : uh , listen , i need to know the reality here , both of you . if the test results come back , right , and something confirms that there 's something wrong in her brain that needs to be treated , what are the chances of my baby surviving ? robin : dr. lee is better equipped to answer that question . but i can tell you that the baby is at risk no matter what treatment plan patrick recommends . sonny : wow . patrick : as soon as we have something definite , sonny . [ sonny sighs ] p.a . : dr. sophie metzger , please report to the ... jason : hey . i 'm just -- sonny : the d.n.a . test results came back . it 's confirmed i 'm the baby 's father . you want to know who told me ? johnny . he found me and olivia kissing . i was thinking there 's no way in hell it 's -- it 's -- you know , the baby 's mine . i mean , i -- i mean , you know , claudia had test results . she never called me . and i was already anticipating a life without her , of being with olivia . i denied my unborn child because he came with an inconvenient mother . he did n't fit into my selfish plans . and now my son ... might die . and i may never ... get a chance to know him .

[ warren and michael grunting ] kristina : michael , please , do n't ! dante : hey , jason , take a look at this . jason : it 's a desk from franco 's studio . dante : it 's all hooked up , ready to go . franco : boo . carter : hey , you ready ? franco : yeah . carter : ok . so , what exactly did you want me to do to this kid , michael corinthos ? patrick : you know , carly , i do n't know how you feel about me . i mean , i know we get along . if i ever did anything to piss you off , i 'm just going to apologize now and for anything i might do in the future . and i 'm just going to ask you to not tell robin . if she finds out that i slept with lisa -- carly : you are so cute when you 're begging and suffering . your secret 's safe with me . i 'm not going to say anything . patrick : are you sure ? carly : why would i tell robin ? i mean , do n't get me wrong . i would love to wipe that sanctimonious smirk off her face , but that means i would hurt you , and why would i want to do that ? you 've been wonderful to me and my family . and although i do n't understand why you love robin , the fact is , you do . and that 's all that matters . plus , i 'd have some nerve being judgmental because i 've cheated on all my husbands . patrick : i just ca n't believe that i was acting like such an idiot . carly : are you kidding me ? i warned you . i saw lisa coming a mile away . patrick : yeah , i know . and i was too busy wallowing in my own self - pity to even see what was happening . and all robin was doing was being loyal to a friend and honoring her past . carly : i 'm guessing that loyalty was to sonny . who was the honor ? patrick : stone . carly : oh . patrick : yeah . robin and i were -- we were fighting a little bit before she left for africa . it 's basically me getting mad at her over her defense of sonny , and , um ... created distance between us . and then , she started working more with the aids foundation instead of me , actually being honest with her and telling her how i was feeling shut out . and i just smiled and nodded . then , i 'd take off and go to jake 's and have some drinks and play darts with lisa . carly : jake 's can be a dangerous place . patrick : yeah . then i go to the hospital , and lisa would be there , all vibrant and easy on the eyes . the worst thing about it is that i 'm the perfect cliche , because lisa was the one paying attention to me , so i cheated with my ex- girlfriend on my wife because we were n't seeing eye to eye . carly : ok . stop , stop . stop being so hard on yourself . i know you 're trained to believe it , but you 're not god , ok ? you 're just a human being stumbling through life . and sometimes , you make mistakes . and sometimes , they 're pretty big ones . but robin going off to africa did n't help . if i saw lisa coming , how come robin could n't ? patrick : i guess lisa knew how to play robin , and robin was too preoccupied to notice . carly : ok . you know what ? when you snooze , you lose , and robin should know that . in any event , today 's your lucky day . it 's a dubious honor , but i 'm gifted in the art of lying , and you 're about to benefit . lisa : never been in a lockdown before . do you have any idea how long this will last ? robin : until they find the baby , i guess . lisa : that could take hours . robin : mm - hmm . a couple at least . so , i guess we should use our time wisely and discuss this friction between you and patrick . lisa : friction ? heh . that 's interesting . is that how patrick described it ? robin : well , that 's what i 've seen . this competition between the two of you seems to cause so much drama around here . lisa : hmm . it 's just one of those cosmic things , i guess , when 2 like personalities collide . i mean , i ca n't help but be challenging , and patrick ca n't walk away from one . you know , it creates sparks , and that 's what attracted us to each other in the first place . yeah . sparks . see , we were both the same kind of independent , you know ? neither of us wanted to be boxed in . you know , we both opted for an open relationship . but , you know , to be honest -- i would never admit it -- sometimes , it would bother me when patrick would sleep with someone else . steve : `` until the lockdown is over , only essential medical personnel are allowed to move freely . `` maya : yes , doctor . steve : all right . maya : hey . what are you doing here ? ethan : i came in to get my hand checked , just in time for lockdown . timing 's everything , eh ? maya : have you heard anything about the missing baby ? ethan : no . but i know someone who might know -- lucky . hey . any leads on this baby ? lucky : not yet . kristina : help ! he 's going to kill him ! [ warren and michael grunting ] ethan : come on ! lucky : hey ! ethan : come on , back off ! lucky : michael ! ethan : back off ! steve : what 's going on ? warren : i want that animal arrested and put back in his cage ! [ coughs ] nikolas : everything ok at audrey 's ? elizabeth : yeah . yeah , the boys are just playing ball in the back yard . now what ? nikolas : we just wait , i guess . elizabeth : and what about her ? nikolas : she waits , too . elizabeth : mmm . helena : i will sit here through the night and beyond , as long as you wish . i 'll even give the police access to my hotel suite , my jet . i 'll even turn in my cell phone -- anything , whatever it takes to convince you that i had nothing to do with your child going missing . i 'm telling the truth , nikolas . nikolas : you can go . get out . elizabeth : what ? nikolas : hurry up before i change my mind . get out . elizabeth : what ? why did you do that ? nikolas : i know when she 's lying and when she isn't . elizabeth : how can you tell ? nikolas : 'cause i know her better than anyone . she did n't take aiden . elizabeth : well , surprisingly , that 's not a relief . at least helena 's a devil we know . if she did n't take our son , then who did ? carter : michael seems like a nice enough kid . what did he ever do to you ? frankie : he 's a means to an end , as are you . so do n't tax your brain pondering my motivation . just follow orders . can you do that ? carter : you 're the guy with the checkbook . you , uh , care how i go about it ? frankie : surprise yourself . be creative . [ carter chuckles ] carter : i can do that . franco : just be sure to mention my name to jason when he comes after you , because he will . carter : good . and , uh , what you want me to say ? frankie : um ... just tell him that franco says hi . dante : are you done ? what the hell was that ? johnny : we bumped into each other on the pier , you asked me where i was going , i told you , and you said you wanted to come along . i 'm not making some big , grand statement about being over olivia . i 'm not . and i 'm sorry -- no offense , but if it was up to me right now , i would be with her . brook lynn : yeah . i -- i got that message . johnny : i 'm just -- i want you to know where i stand . i would be with her under any condition except for two -- i 'm not giving up my vendetta against sonny , and i 'm not giving up my line of work . other than that , anything goes . brook lynn : do you honestly think that olivia loves you ? johnny : i know she does . brook lynn : you know she does , really ? johnny : yes , i do . brook lynn : well , then , why does she make being with her conditional ? do you try and change her ? you try and stand in the way of her goals ? do you do that to her ? do n't answer that . it 's -- it 's none of my business . but i guess the truth is that i feel like a total dork for hitting on you . johnny : oh , come on . you did n't know the whole situation , and now , you do . besides , i 'm flattered . it 's never a chore being hit on by a beautiful woman . and that you are . brook lynn : why , thank you , kind sir . yes , compliments , they always soften the rejection . friendly advice ? johnny : shoot . brook lynn : look , johnny . opposites , they do attract . but it never lasts . mac : anyone at all you can think of who might have an interest in your son ? elizabeth : besides helena ? no one . please , mac . you just have to find him . mac : ok . look , it 's a big building . do n't worry . i 'll be back with an update as soon as i can . elizabeth : all right . thank you . elizabeth : shirley . what are you doing here ? nobody 's supposed to be moving around the building until i find my baby . shirley : your baby ? oh , honey . i did n't know . elizabeth : yeah . shirley : can you give us a minute ? now i know why i felt compelled to come and see you . i thought i needed you . it was the other way around . elizabeth : i 'm so scared . shirley : i know , honey . i 'm here . warren : i was walking by . i saw kristina in the room , so i just stopped to find out why , and then , her rabid pit bull of a brother attacked me for no reason at all . i want him arrested . michael : you son of a bitch . kristina : that 's not what happened at all . lucky : kristina , it 's ok . just do n't talk , all right ? look , mr . bauer . i would love to help you out here , but there 's just one problem . warren : what problem ? lucky : i did n't witness any assault . what about you , ethan ? maya ? maya : no . ethan : no , not me . lucky : dr. weber ? steve : i 'm not even here . did n't see a thing . warren : another miscarriage of justice to protect a mobster and his family . lucky : i do n't know what you 're talking about , mr . bauer . i walked in here and saw you trip and fall . then michael politely helped you up . kristina : that 's exactly what happened . mr. bauer tripped , and my brother was just trying to help . dante : wow . i am impressed . not with you , with franco . i mean , he 's already messing with your head . you just destroyed evidence that can connect franco to carter . that dvd was basically conspiracy charges -- jason : no one will ever know that franco sicced carter on michael . it 's not going to be any part of any police report . no charges are going to be brought up . you understand that ? dante : yeah , i guess because he is your -- jason : no , because you 're not going to say a word about this . dante : look , jason , i know you 're all about protecting michael , but in this case , you 're protecting -- jason : no , you 're the one who made michael vulnerable to these people . you handed -- you handed franco the means to make michael suffer . and for that -- you know what ? yeah , keep pushing me . come on . i should kill you right here . wilhelm : ah , ah , there you are . looking everywhere for you . franco : i 'm not that hard to find . wilhelm : yes . i had to field the questions from the crew that were setting up the plaza . no one seems to quite understand the concept . franco : ah . good . wilhelm : i was hoping that perhaps you could show me the performance art aspect of tonight 's exhibit ? franco : yeah , i could . but i won't . specificity compromises spontaneity . wilhelm : ah . franco : and i 'm nothing if not full of surprises . wilhelm : oh . heh heh . - boys , wake up ! - when you use windex , carly : ok . how does robin feel about lisa ? patrick : in what way ? carly : are they friendly ? are they prickly ? i mean , i need to know this so i can help you cover your butt . patrick : i do n't think robin is suspicious of lisa , but that can be changing as we speak . and what the hell am i doing in here ? carly : where are you going ? patrick : i do n't know . i mean , i got ta go try and save my marriage . carly : what are you gon na do ? are you going to walk up to robin and say , `` i slept with lisa . `` patrick : carly ... obviously , i 'm not as good at cheating as i used to be . before , it did n't matter , but now ... i have a family . and i ca n't -- i ca n't have that big lie in the middle of what 's good and pure , and expect to keep it . carly : if you do n't , you 're going to lose everything . robin : how did the conversation about the competition between you and patrick turn into him cheating on you ? why would you even go there ? lisa : well , 'cause it 's all tied together . please , just let me try to explain . when patrick and i were seeing each other , my cousin surprised me with this trip to london , all right . she made a lot of money in the tech market , it was my birthday . we went , it was amazing , had a blast . and i did n't cheat once . and when i got back , patrick , he could n't have been more sweet and attentive . i 'm talking super nice . at first , i was flattered and i thought , wow , absence makes the heart grow fonder . whatever . it took me 2 weeks to find out that the entire time i was away , he was messing around with my roommate . i mean , but it did n't really matter . because we were both players and we both owned it , but what got to me was when patrick admitted that covering up the hook - up was more exciting than the actual event itself . because he had the upper hand . you see , information is power . and he had it . i didn't . you get it ? cheating , competition , it 's the same thing to patrick . shirley : talk to me . elizabeth : i feel like ... i feel like this is n't really happening . you know , how could it be ? things were finally starting to get better . nikolas and i were getting along , he even helped deliver our baby . and , yes , aiden came into this world early , but he 's perfectly healthy . and we were getting ready to take him home . i just do n't understand how he could just be gone . shirley : you know for a fact that aiden is still here in the hospital ? elizabeth : newborns have an ankle monitor on and it takes a special device to get it off . if someone were to try to take him out of the hospital , all the doors are automatically locked . so , yeah , he 's here somewhere . the question is , where ? shirley : so how many places could he be , right ? someone will find him . what you have to do in the meantime is just keep on making those plans . do n't give up hope . it sustains . elizabeth : i am so grateful for you . shirley : oh . the feeling 's mutual . you have lifted my heart . so i want to give you something to remember me by . i made it specially for you . elizabeth : oh ! it 's the most beautiful piece i 'll ever own . warren : you are a disgrace to the police department . you 're no different than the common criminal . i 'm not going to let you get away with it . i 'm going to take my statement directly to the police commissioner and he 's going to get a forensics unit down here to determine what really happened . lucky : let me get this straight -- you want forensics to document the fact that you 're clumsy ? mac : lucky ! lucky , i need -- something i should know about ? warren : corinthos just assaulted me . kristina : mac , you have to believe me . it was n't like mr . bauer is making it sound . mac : ok , ok , well , how was it , then ? lucky : it was one of those hypotheticals that you love so much , mac . suppose kristina was sitting in here all alone and mr . bauer came in , started to bully her . and suppose michael walked in and took action in defense of his sister . and suppose mr . bauer here stands by his accusation that michael attacked him without provocation . i 'd have to take witness statements . those statements contradicted mr . bauer 's version of events , making my hypothetical true , then i 'd have to place him under arrest . is n't that right ? mac : sounds right to me . warren : this is exactly why my son is dead . this conspiracy between cops and criminals . i 'm not going to stand for it . kiefer will have justice . i 'm going to get it for him , i 'm getting it for his mother , i 'm gon na get it for me , if it 's the last thing i do ! dante : that 's good . you keep losing control . that 's exactly the reaction franco wants you to have . that was his m.o . the first time , right ? push you until you snap ? jason : that 's what franco 's about . just breaking me down , so he can prove i 'm just like him . dante : well , he 's doing a damn good job of that right now . look , he figured out your weakness a long time ago . and that is michael . he tried to blackmail you with those pictures of him kneeling over claudia 's body . this is the same thing all over again . letting you know that he 's the one who unleashed carter on michael . he wants to get you so furious that you 'll do something stupid ; make that fatal error . you 've got ta be smarter than that , man . jason : are you done ? dante : probably not . jason : we 're wasting time . [ door closes ] wilhelm : perhaps you could give me some idea as to how long the performance art will run . franco : as long as it takes . maybe longer . wilhelm : would you consider additional lighting ? franco : i 'd consider everything . anything is possible . wilhelm : how many performers do you have ? franco : two . me , and the guest of honor , with a supporting cast of thousands . wilhelm : oh , dear . well , i do n't know if the venue would allow that extravagance . franco : well , it 's not going to matter once i blow the entire exhibit sky- high . wilhelm : what ? franco : [ chuckles ] willie , relax . you trust me ? wilhelm : yeah , of course . franco : well , you shouldn't . i 'm a whack job , ask anyone . heh heh . but i 'm your whack job . and after this performance , you 're going to be the toast of the art world . [ wilhelm chuckles ] franco : now , if you do n't mind , i 've got a little work to do . wilhelm : oh , yes . well , i just -- i 'm beyond thrilled that you would allow me to present your venue , and everything that you need , anything that you -- bye . yes . shirley : oh . i knew that necklace would look good on you . elizabeth : you have to promise me you 're going to stay put , ok ? you are recovering from major surgery . shirley : i promise . elizabeth : really ? you 're not going to fight me on that ? shirley : not now . you have enough on your plate . elizabeth : i 'm going to check on the progress of the search . you 're going to be ok ? shirley : i 'm fine . you go . elizabeth : i love you . you know that , do n't you ? shirley : like my own name . thank you for being my family . it 's been a gift beyond measure . elizabeth : ok , i 'm going to be right back , ok ? shirley : ok . elizabeth : ok . lisa : and shirley 's surgery came at exactly the right time . i mean , it was a chance for patrick to be able to prove himself . i mean , you know how he gets when he wants to win -- robin : ok , just enough already , lisa . i mean , you are working overtime to imply that something 's going on between you and my husband . if you have something to say , just say it . lisa : wow . are you paranoid much ? i was talking about -- robin : no , i am not paranoid . you 're trying to make me paranoid by doubting my husband . a little innuendo here , a little hint there . and then what ? the next thing you know , i am the jealous wife , and then he 's running into your arms ? is that it ? do n't waste your time . because i know that my husband would never cheat on me . carly : robin is self - righteous on a good day . as the wrong party , she will freeze you out so fast , you wo n't even feel the door hit you . robin ca n't know that you 've slipped . patrick : carly , i know you hate robin . but i 've screwed up plenty , and she 's forgiven me every single time . carly : right , ok , how many women have you confessed to having sex with since you 've been married ? patrick : good point . carly : you ca n't tell her . patrick : i ca n't have this lie with lisa . carly : ok , where does that stand ? i mean , was sleeping with lisa a one - time only thing , or are you going to keep it going ? patrick : are you serious ? no . sleeping with lisa was the biggest mistake i 've ever made . ethan : you seem quiet . are you all right ? maya : i 'm just , i 'm so sick of these self - centered asses who think they can do whatever they want . you know , like warren bauer threatening kristina like that ? or someone just waltzing into a nursery and taking someone else 's baby . i mean , seriously , who does that ? ethan : i do n't know . i mean , i 'll tell you one thing , though . as much as i despise kiefer for what he did to kristina , just getting a load of his father -- mac : just double the men around the hospital perimeter . we 're still operating under the assumption the baby 's in the hospital . lucky : can i use one of your computers ? steve : yeah , help yourself . lucky : thanks . elizabeth : any news ? nikolas : what are you doing ? you 're supposed to be resting . elizabeth : i can't .

[ scene_break ] anna : according to molly , rafe claimed that he was n't on drugs at the time of the crash , which leads us to believe that his judgment was n't impaired . and our theory is that he panicked and lost control of the car . scott : well , whether or not drugs were involved in the crash , the point is he still had heroin and cocaine in his system . anna : i know . scott : well , i was led to believe that the pcpd had cracked down on the drug trade coming in to our good city . anna : yes . we 've made significant strides . scott : well , then , what happened ? where did those drugs come from ? anna : i do n't know . why do n't you ask your friend julian jerome ?

[ scene_break ] tim : what are you waiting for ? if you gon na off yourself , pull the damn trigger already .

[ scene_break ] luke : get out of here , old man . this has nothing to do with you . tim : [ laughs ] you think not , huh ? nothing to do with me ? i think it all has to do with you facing the truth . the truth is that with all the whining and complaining and crying that went on in this house , i was not the curse here . it was you ! and that 's why you had my tattoo put on yourself right there . so that you 'd always be remembering what you are and what 's inside of you . luke : i have plenty of regrets in my life , but killing you sure is n't one of them . tim : i 'm not surprised . [ scoffs ] so , tell me ... finding out what really happened to your mother , how did that work out for you ? huh ? did it make you happy ? no .. it filled you with regret and guilt and fear .

[ scene_break ] maxie : and you buy that valerie was completely blameless ? lulu : i do . maxie : you are way more trusting than i am . lulu : i did my due diligence . the story that valerie told me and dante told me , they were identical . maxie : oh , good for you for interrogating her . lulu : okay , it was not an interrogation . maxie : well , it should have been ! lulu , you were the wronged party here . lulu : i 'm not the only one . what part of `` i lied to my husband `` is not sinking in ? maxie : oh , about a life or death situation that you had absolutely no control over . lulu : no , i could have controlled the way i dealt with it -- if i had just been up front , none of this would have happened . maxie : okay , you may have set these events in motion . lulu : thank you . maxie : but i should have stopped them from getting this far . lulu : what are you talking about ? maxie : nathan and i , we came over to your place on the fourth of july , we wanted you guys to come watch the fireworks with us , but you were n't there . and dante and valerie were alone together , and i got a really weird vibe -- i should n't have left . lulu : that 's ridiculous . maxie : i could have sat myself in between the two of them and refused to leave until valerie went home . what ? lulu : i just ... i made valerie walk me through everything that happened the night that she and dante kissed . she never mentioned you and nathan . [ scene_break ] nathan : you slept with valerie . dante : made a big mistake . nathan : oh , man . when ? dante : july fourth , after you guys left my place . i knew it . nathan : i knew something was up , man . if i just knew where your head was at . dante : come on , man , it 's not your responsibility . it 's on me and me alone . [ sighs ] nathan : wait ... wait , did n't lulu show up , like , the next day ? dante : yes . valerie left , lulu got home . they barely missed each other , and then lulu told me everything that happened . nathan : man , i can only imagine what that must have felt like . dante : you know what that felt like ? it felt like i was my father . someone who cheats and then rationalizes it all away . `` only did this because you did that , or 'cause you did this . `` letting the circumstances make everything okay . nathan : yeah , but to be fair , man , there were circumstances . dante : it does n't matter ! it does n't matter ! i still did something i ca n't take back . i did something i never thought i was even capable of doing . i did something that would destroy my wife if she ever found out . nathan : wait , you mean she does n't know ? dante : no , man , she knows we kissed . i could n't bring myself to tell her anything else . it would ruin my son 's life . nathan : man , you do n't know that for a fact . dante : yes , i do . if lulu found out the truth , there 's no way she would forgive me . [ scene_break ] luke : mom ! lena : luke . luke : can you forgive me ? lena : there 's nothing to forgive . you were trying to protect me -- all of us . the best way you knew how . luke : the best way ? a bat to the head ? patricia : luke ! lena : it 's okay , patricia . your brother always did get right to the point . so did you , for that matter . it 's a spencer trait . luke : i do n't want anything from him . lena : you certainly did n't get it from me . patricia , can you give us a moment , please ? patricia : you listen to mama , luke . she always understood you better than anyone . lena : come . sit with me . there are a few things i need to say , and i need you to hear them , okay ? i love you . i could never blame you for what happened . luke : i was careless . lena : no , you were strong . you stood up to your father 's endless abuse to us . you stood up because i was too afraid to . luke : i was cowardly , mother . i ran . and i kept running from the truth . i did -- i did n't own what i did . lena : you did own what you did , even though you did n't realize it . you carried that weight for decades . do n't you see , luke ? that 's why you lashed out . that 's why you hurt the people closest to you , not because you 're evil . not because you 're like him . because you were lost . luke : and now i 'm found ? is that what you 're saying ? lena : yes . accepting the truth about what happened to me should not be the reason your life ends . it should be how it finally begins . luke : i do n't think you understand . lena : course , i do . you 're a part of my heart , my soul . and your sister 's right -- i know you better than anyone . i 've been watching you all these years . letting that fateful night define you ... no more . no more , luke . it 's time for you to stand up again . you figure out who you are . better yet , you figure out , who do you want to be ? without all those demons bottled up inside you ... the possibilities are limitless . [ scene_break ] bobbie : thought you might want to have that . valerie : i have never seen my mother as a teenager . bobbie : patricia was beautiful . and so brave . she stood up for me . and for luke . and there 's no way that i can ever repay her , but if you ever need someone to talk to or you need a shoulder to cry on , i 'm here for you . valerie : that sounds really nice . bobbie : yeah ? valerie : oh . i have missed my mother through all this . i 'm not sure i 've even realized how much . bobbie : did she give good advice ? valerie : yeah . `` i pull no punches and offer no judgments `` ... is what she used to say . bobbie : i hope i can live up to that . and as for this situation with dante ...

[ chuckles lightly ] you should probably have a conversation with valerie , though , you know ? make sure you guys are on the same page . dante : yeah , we did -- and we are . so far , she 's only told the commissioner . nathan : what , so she told our boss ? ! dante : yeah . jordan really let me have it . nathan : i 'm not entirely sure that 's her place , being that she 's your boss and not your relationship counselor , but ... dante : no , but , you know , she said some things i needed to hear . nathan : look , man , i -- i admire that you 're taking responsibility for this , dante , but i know you , and you are the farthest thing from a cheating husband that i -- dante : obviously , i 'm not . nathan : look , when you slept with valerie , you had every reason to believe that lulu was off sleeping with dillon . dante : come on , man , do n't make excuses for me . nathan : i 'm not making excuses for you . i 'm just stating the facts . if lulu had been honest , if you 'd known the truth , then ... none of this would have ever happened . [ scene_break ] lulu : is it too early ? maxie : it 's 5 : 00 somewhere . lulu : anyway , dante feels so guilty , he 's turned into the husband of the year . maxie : to upsides . lulu : cheers .

[ scene_break ] ric : how many breakdowns has sonny had since you 've known him , jason ? four ? five ? each one worse than the last ? what 'd you do to help him ? did you sweep up the glass ? did you keep your eye on the business ? you covered for him and you never once pushed him to get real help or suggested that maybe he could get a proper diagnosis and treatment . jason : i did n't lie to him to undermine his sanity . ric : no , you did n't . but when he did something that you disliked by getting involved with your sister , emily , what did you do ? you promptly stole his business from him . you knew what that would do to him . you may not have intentionally pushed him into his breakdown , but you sure as hell did n't do anything to help it . you want to keep sonny helpless so you can step back in and get your control over him . so do n't sit there and preach to me , jason , about how ric is bad and you 're good , because this could n't have worked out better for you if you had tried it yourself .

[ scene_break ] carly : why are you so surprised that robin wants you under her thumb ? when she was with jason , she told him how to live his life and wanted him to thank her for it . patrick : carly , that was 10 years ago . carly : she is still the same controlling , self - righteous twit she ever was . she wants you all to herself . patrick : she never said that to me . in fact , she 's claiming the opposite . carly : she 's lying . patrick : i know . [ scene_break ] robin : patrick is terrified of commitment . but it 's kind of understandable , considering his history . his father , noah , was also a lady 's man until he fell in love with his mother . and when she died , he gave up his career and spent years as an alcoholic . i think he 's afraid that if he falls in love or is in a committed relationship , that the same thing will happen to him . nikolas : right . so -- so what are you thinking , exactly ? that one day he 's -- he 's going to look at you and realize that he 's open for a long - term relationship ? robin : i had n't really thought about it that far , but now that you mention it , i guess that is what i hope for . it 's kind of a long shot , right ? nikolas : i do n't know . you tell me . robin : it 's helpful , though . nikolas : okay , if i could give you one piece of advice from what i 've learned , it 's that people are n't psychic , robin . if you love someone , then you have to tell them how you feel . robin : whoa , who said i loved him ? nikolas : if you just care about him , even a little , you have to be honest about your hopes and expectations , and then that leaves the door open for him to be honest with you . robin : so i have to tell him that i want a relationship with him ? nikolas : if that 's how you feel . robin : what if he says it 'll never happen ? nikolas : well , would n't you rather know that now than have your hopes dashed months from now when you 're even more deeply attached to him ? robin : good point . great advice . nikolas : what are friends for , huh ? robin : you know , you really are a very wise and insightful man . nikolas : i learned my lessons the hard way . robin : i should talk to patrick . nikolas : yeah . no problem . i 'll -- i 'll take care of carly . robin : huh . robin : they 're gone .

[ emily laughs ] nikolas : okay , if you 're once again hinting at a romance , i 'll have you know that we spent the entire evening talking about patrick drake . emily : oh , is n't that a coincidence ? patrick interrogated me about your friendship with robin . whatever 's going on , it 's more than casual for him . nikolas : well , good , because robin 's clearly in love with him . emily : what advice did you give her ? nikolas : i just -- i told her to be honest about her feelings , that you ca n't just assume that the other person knows how you feel , that 's all . emily : yeah . so she 's going to tell patrick how she feels ? nikolas : that 's the plan , but i think robin cares far more about him than she realizes . emily : yeah , patrick 's definitely in denial . nikolas : yeah , well , they 're both too proud and defensive to admit their own feelings to themselves , much less to each other . emily : yeah . i -- i hope they work things out . nikolas : i do , too . there 's nothing more sad than finding love , and then realizing too late you threw it all away . [ scene_break ] carly : so are you waiting for robin to come in here breathing fire like she did the last time she found us here ? patrick : part of me hopes she does . carly : what about the other part ? patrick : knows that robin and i have no future . carly : hmm . well , the second part , the wiser part -- that 's called self- preservation . patrick : look , i know you said robin is only looking for an exclusive relationship , and you 're right . she can deny it till she 's blue in the face , but that 's exactly what she 's looking for . carly : can i play devil 's advocate ? patrick : why do you ask ? you 're going to anyway . [ carly chuckles ] carly : yes . we spent the whole night talking about robin -- how much you like her , how much you admire her , how she helped you with your dad . you guys have more of a relationship than just sex , and now you want to put on the brakes because you ca n't commit . now , do you see the subtext here ? patrick : yes . the rest of the night is about us . carly : one more thought about little miss perfect . patrick : as long as it 's the last . carly : you need to think about this . declaring your independence is one thing ; turning to me is another . robin hates me with every bone in her body . you sleep with me , and you 're probably going to lose her . patrick : it 's occurred to me . carly : i think it 'll be great and i think you 're fabulous , and i do n't think you should have robin in your life , but you may not agree . patrick : you want to use me as a cure for sonny . i need to use you as a cure for robin . carly : my pleasure . [ scene_break ] jason : ric is always bringing up the fact that he 's your brother , like that 's supposed to justify any hell he puts you through . he kidnapped your wife , and now he deliberately tried to push you into a nervous breakdown . ric : no , i meant what i said . i thought it was the only way you would agree to get help , sonny . jason : ric never mentioned therapy to you , but now that emily has talked you into therapy and treatment , of course ric 's jumping onboard as an excuse for what he did . ric : that 's not true ! jason : you 're trying to cover your ass . that 's what he does , that 's who he is . your whole existence is about being better than sonny . ric : no , you 're the one who wants to control sonny . look , sonny , think about it -- what has this man ever done for you , except enable you ? make your illness worse so that he could amass power , and then you become more increasingly dependent upon him ? sonny : i 'm sorry . i am very sorry , ric . i should 've faced the truth a long time ago . first of all , jason 's never tried to control me . when he took my business , he did it openly , even if i believed he was wrong . he -- he told me what he was going to do and why , and he did it . jason does n't manipulate people . ric : that 's exactly what he did , sonny , when he -- when he tried to force you to give up emily . that 's called emotional blackmail . it 's not hard to -- sonny : i do n't want to hear it anymore . you worked me , now you 're justifying it . maybe you just ca n't help yourself , ric . you 've been -- you 've been in this twisted competition with me for a long time . i 'm not going to engage . i ca n't . i 'm tired . i ca n't have you in my life . i want you out of my house . ric : sonny , you need to think about this , okay ? i did nothing to take advantage of you . i just tried to push you into getting more -- sonny : ric , you need to go . it 's best for both of us . emily : hey , is everything all right ? sonny : ric admitted to buying the dress -- and lying about it . emily : oh , god . sonny , i 'm sorry . i know that you were starting to trust ric . i was , too . sonny : he made up some big excuse about how he wanted to break me down so i would need professional help . emily : hmm . sonny : and that carly and jason were enabling me all these years , and that he -- i guess he wanted to save me . emily : do you believe him ? sonny : well , you know , it 's typical ric . i mean , he justifies everything in hindsight . emily : maybe he really believes that he was -- he was acting in your best interest . sonny : hey , i do n't care . i do n't care what he believes . i do n't care what he intended . all i know is that when he was talking to me , all i could think about was me tearing that dress off you , and the look on your face and how scared you were . ric made me do that , and now i ca n't take -- i ca n't take it back .

[ scene_break ] patrick : and silas is obviously upset after losing his nephew . anna : he 's not gunning for you in particular , is he ? patrick : in trying to get him to see that i did n't intentionally leave rafe brain dead , she told him what i told her . anna : oh . what ? to try to make your position more believable . patrick : yeah . anna : oh , honey . so , sam and silas , they 're the only two people that knew . patrick : yeah . right . which means it had to be him , because i trust sam complicity . anna : yes . patrick : she 's been a good friend , which makes me hate this even more . i do n't want to be the one that comes between her and silas . anna : well , through no fault of your own . patrick : yeah , she was -- [ chuckles ] i mean , she was pretty angry with him after the press conference . anna : i think i have a few choice words of my own , now you mention it . patrick : i can only imagine her anger is intensified now that i lost my job . [ scene_break ] sam : patrick is my friend . silas : i know . i get it . sam : and i was only spending time with him because his baby died , and i was trying to help him get to the bottom of it . silas : i understand . that does n't explain why you 're taking his side over mine . sam : what do you -- what was i supposed to do ? was i supposed to hang out at your house with you and your wife ? stay home and wait for you to take a break from her and call me ? silas : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for everything . i know this has n't been easy on you . until nina gets better , it 's what i have to do . sam : i know . she is your wife . i know it 's not your fault , and you feel obligated , and you are obligated to her , it 's just ...

[ emily sighs ] sonny : he 's not responsible for any of this . emily : my brother saw you through at least four previous breakdowns and he never got you professional help . i 'm sorry , but i have a hard time accepting that . sonny : he does n't believe in telling people how to live their lives . emily : he did n't have any problem telling us that we should give each other up . sonny : have you ever stopped to think how much that cost him ? emily : not as much as it cost you . sonny : i 'm going to be all right . i 'm going to be fine . i 'm going to get through this . and , you know , jason 's been through a lot . look what it 's done to the both of you . emily : sonny , i love jason . i just do n't want him giving you an excuse to back out of treatment . sonny : the decision is n't jason 's . it 's not yours . this is my life . and i have to decide how to live it .

[ scene_break ] naomi : i was subpoenaed this morning . and so was my daughter . elizabeth : oh . sorry to hear that . naomi : me , too . this is like a long bad dream , and i ca n't seem to wake . elizabeth : it 's odd , though , that your anxiety seemed to increase when franco was in the room . naomi : well , i - i recognized him . elizabeth : you did ? do you know him ? naomi : no . no , not personally . but i have several friends -- i had several friends who were avid collectors . franco was quite the darling of the art scene for the last 10 or 15 years . he still has a following , but his work was always a little too dark for me . and there were rumors that he 's a serial killer . elizabeth : oh . [ sighs ] he 's not the same person anymore . naomi : he seems very interested in you . elizabeth : i know . he 's been amazing to me and my son . i really have tried to keep my distance , but , i do n't know , there 's just -- there 's just something there . naomi : and you 're sure he 's changed ? elizabeth : yes , i am . franco 's tried really hard to leave his past behind . and i believe that if someone is willing to acknowledge their faults , and they 're sincerely trying to do better , then they deserve a second chance . naomi : that is a very compassionate point of view . too bad others do n't feel quite so generously . elizabeth : i kind of speak from experience . i know what it 's like to be the town pariah . naomi : elizabeth , are n't you perhaps opening yourself up to that again ? elizabeth : you mean with franco ? naomi : i mean , surely eyebrows would be raised when you start dating a relative . [ scene_break ] hayden : all i 've done is try to help you . yes , maybe i acted out of guilt , but what difference does it make ? you 're in trouble and you need someone to count on . why ca n't that person be me ? finn : because i 'm not gon na be cured , hayden . everything , my notes , all the progress i 've made towards finding a cure , it was all confiscated when i got suspended . all right ? all of my work , i can not locate it , and for all i know , it 's been destroyed . hayden : who would do that ? finn : oh . i have a pretty good idea . hayden : well , you should report them . you know what , you should sue them . finn : that 's beside the point . the drugs , all they 're doing is keeping me alive a little bit longer . a temporary solution . none of it is a cure . hayden : you ca n't give up . finn : i 'm not giving up . i 'm just being realistic . i could n't even inject myself in the jail cell . you had to do it for me . i wo n't ask you to do that again , and i 'm not gon na ask you to sit there and watch me die . hayden : and i do n't get a vote ? finn : you 've done more for me than most , and i wo n't ever forget that . but i wo n't be the reason to cause any more sorrow in your life . [ scene_break ] dante : let the rest of them go . you keep me here to guarantee their silence . they get kevin to a hospital . if he recovers , no one has to know what happened here . valentin : that is a noble gesture . it 's impractical and it 's stupid , but it 's noble . no , no , you can not hold somebody hostage indefinitely . i mean , it 's very inconvenient to hold somebody under constant guard . i 'm gon na be paying my guys all that overtime , plus somebody 's gon na ask a question like , you know , where are you ? no , no , no , i have to find a more manageable solution , you know , like killing all of you . i know that 's brutal . did n't stalin say death solves all problems ? i mean , when a man or a woman , for that matter , is dead , there 's really no more problem . [ scene_break ] lulu : [ grunts ] that was for you , dad . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , who 's this woman ? she 's older than you are . i can tell you that much . kristina : she is . sonny : she 's not a friend from school or a student ? kristina : no , she 's not a student , but she is visiting from out of town , so that 's why she 's here . sonny : from wesleyan ? kristina : yeah . sonny : okay , you got to tell me what 's going on . you know what ? i 've known for , like , how long now that you 're keeping a secret . is this it ? kristina : it 's not what you -- sonny : who is the woman ? that 's all i 'm asking ! kristina : her name is parker forsyth . sonny : your former professor who got you suspended for inappropriate advances ? kristina : yes . the professor that i offered to sleep with is a woman . sonny : [ sighs ] why did n't you tell me , kristina ? kristina : 'cause i was afraid . sonny : you were -- you were scared of me ? kristina : of how you 'd react . sonny : what did you think was gon na happen ? kristina : i do n't know ! i do n't know anything anymore . sonny : you know that i 'm your father , right ? and that i love you no matter what . kristina : it 's just that ... you always want to make everything all right and fix things , and some things ca n't be fixed or answered or explained , and -- and you were so happy that i was dating aaron , and you liked him . sonny : right , and i thought you liked him , too . kristina : i did . i - i still do , but ... i also like parker . i never stopped thinking about her after everything that happened at school . i 've never felt this way about a woman before , so i started asking myself if -- if it was parker or if it was something more . you know , who i am . sonny : what 'd you find out ? kristina : it 's still unclear , but ... god , i ca n't believe i 'm telling you this . i just ... had the best night of my life with her . and if you 're asking if -- if this means that i 'm gay , i do n't know , dad . i do n't know if what happened between me and parker is going to change who i am or define me , and that 's why i was so scared to tell you . sonny : okay , kristina , i -- kristina : can we please just not talk about this anymore ? sonny : no , we 're just getting started , sweetheart . [ scene_break ] heather : elizabeth webber 's different from all the other women you 've pursued . franco : i know that . heather : [ chuckles ] i mean to me . she 's jeff webber 's daughter . franco : yeah . and ? heather : and i loved jeff . why do you think i kept his name all these years ? franco : i never thought about it . i just -- i always assumed that things did n't end well between you and jeff . heather : every relationship has its ups and downs . i prefer to remember the ups . besides , my other devoted son , steven lars , is a product of my marriage to jeff . franco : right . what does that have to do with me dating elizabeth ? heather : jeff is the reason i 'm a woman of means . franco : i thought you had all that money , because you were blackmailing someone . heather : all i can say is i was paid for my discretion . franco : okay , you know what ? i do n't care how you got the money . the money is yours . i just -- i want to return it . heather : do n't be silly . i ca n't use it in here . so elizabeth does n't want to send her boys to camp . you can use it to buy art supplies . franco : it would be an awful lot of art supplies . heather : good . you can bring me a painting next time you come to see me . now , let me have those flowers . [ sniffs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : ms. dreyfus , i do n't understand . why would you think i 'm going out with someone i 'm related to ? naomi : did n't i overhear you say that franco 's mother 's name is heather webber ? i mean , your -- your last name is also webber . elizabeth : yes , yes . but no , i am not related to franco . actually , my dad was married to heather many , many years ago , but she 's not my mom . i never understood why he was with her , but that 's a whole nother story . naomi : oh , how so ? elizabeth : she 's pretty dangerous . naomi : maybe that was part of the attraction . elizabeth : oh , no . no , no , no . not in a sexy , mysterious way . she 's really dangerous . heather is currently locked up in d'archam facility . it 's a maximum - security facility for the criminally insane . naomi : i - i had -- i had no idea . elizabeth : yeah . it 's the most secure one in northern new york . anyway , not to worry . i am not related to heather webber .

[ scene_break ] hayden : do you want to know why i took an interest in you ? aside from your bond with roxy , which was a big selling point ? finn : well , you feel guilty about what your father did , and -- hayden : this -- this has nothing to do with guilt . it 's about the fact that for the first time in my life , i want to help someone , even though there 's nothing in it for me , so if you want to die alone , that 's on you . but do n't push me away because you want to keep me from my sorrow . that 's my decision , not yours . and if you 're tired of me and you think i 'm obnoxious and you do n't want to spend your last days anywhere near me , just say so . but do n't -- do n't tell me to leave , because you 're afraid i 'll fall apart when you die .

[ scene_break ] sonny : what -- why did n't you tell me the truth about parker ? kristina : i think we already established that i was afraid . sonny : because you were having sex with your former professor , or , you know , somebody who has authority over you , or because she 's a woman ? or both ? kristina : why do n't you just come out and ask me if i 'm gay ? sonny : because you -- you just told me you do n't know what you are or what any of this means . kristina : but if i am , that means that you have a gay daughter . can you deal with that ? can you accept that ? can you accept me ? [ scene_break ] valentin : in my defense , i never meant to involve any of you . this is all my nephew 's fault . ava : you 're blaming nikolas ? valentin : all i wanted was the cassadine estate . there 's strong evidence that it 's mine anyway . i 'm a generation older than nikolas , and let 's face it , he 's no more legitimate than i am . my plan was to hold him , force him to surrender his claim . ava : kill him . valentin : yeah , i will admit that i had malicious intent for my nephew , but none of you . i did n't even know you were here . that 's my point , so i would just as soon let all of you go . i 'd like to believe that i can trust each and every one of you to keep your mouth shut . i 'd like to believe that . but that 's not very likely , is it ? so , who would like to die first ?

[ scene_break ] carly : you know , there are a lot of excellent reasons for sonny to leave the business , and i did everything i could to encourage him . but at the same time , he 's walking away from a lot of power -- power he could use right now . i mean , we both know that sonny has a better chance of finding spencer than the cops . jason : no doubt . carly : but that makes me a hypocrite ! it does , because i 'm going on and on about wanting a peaceful life , and the second i have someone i care about in trouble , i want sonny to do whatever it takes . jason : that does n't make you a hypocrite . that makes you a realist . and if sonny 's connections can find spencer , then that 's what sonny 's gon na use . carly : and sonny 's gon na have to do everything he can to get spencer back . and i know what `` everything `` means . sonny 's going to end up owing a lot of people , and they 're gon na want to collect . i do n't know , jason . maybe i 'm just naive , thinking that sonny could just make a clean break at all . jason : well , i have n't met a person who can call you naive just yet . carly : [ chuckles ] jason : but sonny can get out of the life . i promise you that . look at me . i 'm out . carly : i know , i know , and i know how difficult that was for you . and i 'm glad you made that decision . i am . but it 's different for you . you know , sonny 's the boss . you got to walk away , because sonny gave you his blessing . when sonny tries to go , he 's gon na leave behind a lot of unhappy people . [ scene_break ] sonny : if you 're gon na shoot me , sam , shoot me in the back . sam : you told me exactly what you were gon na do to jason . do you think i would just sit back and let it happen ? sonny : when did i say anything ? ! sam : stop with the lies ! just being around you puts the people you love in danger ! and i 'm not gon na let scout or danny end up like morgan . no , i am saving their lives right now . sonny : i would never want anything to happen to your children . sam : oh , that 's just the problem , is n't it , sonny ? you never want anything to happen to anyone . it just does . you pull death and destruction toward you , just like you pulled jason back in . [ voice breaking ] and it ends now ! sonny : i do n't know what 's going on here , sam . but you need to know that i do n't want to hurt you . sam : no . sonny : i want to help you . let me help you . i promise -- i promise that everything 's gon na be fine . just -- you got to put the gun down . otherwise , you 're gon na do something that you 're not gon na be able to take back , sam ! [ scene_break ] felicia : i do n't care if it is for only three hours . the point is , you 're here , and this is the best surprise i 've had all day . mac : uh ... felicia : aside from my flowers , of course . mac : i 'll let that go ... this time . as long as maxie promises to show us all the latest photos of georgie . felicia : oh ! how is my darling little grandbaby ? maxie : not so little anymore . felicia : oh ? maxie : look . felicia : [ gasps ] oh , my ! look at that ! mac : let me see ? felicia : she 's really growing up . mac : [ gasps ] oh . not fast enough , as far as i 'm concerned . see , i ca n't wait for her to become a teenager so she can give you as much grief as you and your sister and robin gave me . felicia : mac ! mac : what ? that 's the reason for this gray hair . you know that , right ? felicia : no ! no , no . maxie : okay , look . it is super sweet of you guys to want to spend time with me , but it is kind of short notice . i mean , you guys probably had plans , right ? mac : are you kidding ? what better reason to change plans ? felicia : we already canceled our poker night . we were just gon na get some noodle buddha and curl up to a movie , but we could do that any night of the week , right ? maxie : oh , really ? that sounds like a date night ! felicia : yeah ! mac : well , it was . we 've had a lot of those lately . felicia : it does n't matter . we 've got all the time in the world . in fact , we 're not letting you out of our sight until you have to get on that plane to paris . nathan : well , actually , we were kind of hoping to -- to -- anna : is that maxie ? maxie : anna ! oh , hi ! anna : i did n't know you were coming for a visit ! felicia : neither did we . anna : what 's going on ? maxie : i 'm only here for a few hours . anna : oh , that 's perfect . just long enough for me to give you my news . maxie : what news ? anna : i just got off the phone with patrick . robin 's having the baby ! mac : yay ! felicia : oh ! [ laughs ] mac : new babies everywhere ! felicia : this is so exciting ! i ca n't believe it . [ scene_break ] laura : dante . did you hear anything ? dante : okay . we have units all over the dunn loring neighborhood , and we 're bringing in dogs to search the surrounding woods . laura : they moved him . valentin could have him anywhere by now . dante : laura , we have to broaden the search . laura : [ scoffs ] it was valentin ! it had to be him ! you know that ! valentin : i want to make a statement . laura : how could you be so cruel ? he 's just a little boy . he 's alone and he 's afraid . he 's been gone for more than 24 hours . what have you done with him ! ? [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm aware that it 's different for sonny . being the boss , it makes him a target or a threat for anyone who wants to take over . but you know better than anyone , when sonny 's determined to do something , he gets it done . carly : [ sighs ] but sometimes , circumstances have a way of interfering , you know ? jason : except he 's doing this because he loves you , because he wants to ensure your future with him . [ door opens ] jason : so , he 's gon na find a way to make this work . [ footsteps approach ] diane : and that he has . carly : diane ! hey . did you have a meeting with sonny ? diane : no . no , quite the opposite , in fact . he has been avoiding my calls all afternoon , and i - i ca n't say i blame him . you know , for a man of such physical courage , sonny can be quite the emotional coward , do n't you think ? but i do n't blame him . i mean , i would n't want to face me either . carly : why ? what happened ? diane : oh , you do n't know ? oh , then let me fill you in . sonny has given max a promotion . max is the interim manager of the entire operation until sonny can find a permanent successor . [ scene_break ] sam : this is n't what i want , sonny . but i do n't have a choice ! sonny : okay , sam . listen to me . there 's got to be another solution so no- nobody gets hurt . you understand ? sam : [ breathing heavily ] sonny : listen to me , okay ? i know that you 're going through something . i understand . and you know y - you 're like family to me , right ? okay ? [ sighs ] do you understand what i 'm saying ? huh ? i would -- i would do anything for you and jason . [ gunshot ] sonny : [ grunts ] [ groaning ] i know it was n't you , sam . you did n't mean to do this . sam : yes . i did . [ thud ] sam : [ breathing heavily ] [ scene_break ] diane : so , imagine my surprise when max , grinning from ear to ear , tells me that sonny has given him a promotion and now my max , the bodyguard , is head of the corinthos organization . yes . it 's only temporary until sonny finds a permanent successor , but that does n't make the job any less safe . and with greater power comes greater risk ! [ voice breaking ] and now max has got a big target painted on his back , and the least one of you could 've done would be to tell me what sonny was planning ! carly : i would 've been happy to if i 'd known anything about it , diane . jason : i -- do n't look at me . this is the first i 've heard about it . diane : oh . yeah . you mean to tell me that this is the first you 're hearing , that sonny has n't told you word one ? carly : okay , look . things have been , um , well -- sonny 's been distracted a lot lately , okay ? there 's a lot going on , diane . diane ? diane : look . i 'm the first to admit that sonny has paid me very generously over the years . i 've made a boatload of money keeping that man out of prison . but we were friends -- i thought ! and the least he could 've done was have the decency to look me in the eye and tell what he was planning ! jason : maybe by not telling you , he 's protecting you . you know , giving you some sort of plausible deniability . diane : yeah , nice try , jason , but sonny knows that every word he says to me is protected by attorney - client privilege . no , the man is a big , fat coward , and you both know it ! he knew exactly how i would feel about this . carly : are you gon na talk max out of taking the job ? diane : are you kidding ? ! are you -- he -- he 's bursting with pride ! this is christmas for him ! this is everything he has ever worked for ! but the risk now grows exponentially . and with more power , he 's got ... [ voice breaking ] i just do n't want to see him get hurt . carly : i know exactly how you feel . jason : you know , you said it yourself . he 's been waiting for this opportunity his entire life . he 's ready . i 'm gon na check on sam and get back to the search . carly : [ whispering ] thank you . jason : yeah . thank you . thank you . he 's gon na be great . [ diane laughs ] carly : you want a drink ? diane : `` do i want a drink ? `` [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] carly : here you go . diane : here 's to you , carly . after so many years , sonny is finally getting out of the mob . congratulations .

[ telephone ringing ] laura : i 'm sorry . it 's just when i see him , i just -- dante : it 's okay . it 's okay . you 're scared . laura : you know , when charlotte came back into our lives , i promised myself that i would do everything i could to help you and lulu give her the best life that she could possibly have ... and that meant ... if not forgiving valentin , at least putting my hatred aside . [ voice breaking ] but ... i tried that . i - i really tried that . but when i see him , i 'm back in greece , and i see him dragging my son up those stairs . that 's the last time i ever saw my son ! i mean , what if he 's done something to spencer ? spencer : grandmother ! i 'm free ! laura : oh , spencer ! oh ! thank god ! oh , thank god . [ scene_break ] maxie : [ laughing ] why are you staring at me like that ? nathan : i just ca n't believe you 're here . i missed you . maxie : i missed you , too , every second of every day , even if i do n't say it . nathan : i know that we 're making the best of things , but ... i do n't know how much longer we can go on like this . maxie : neither do i . have you thought about moving to portland ? nathan : you know i ca n't leave nina , especially not with valentin around . maxie : i thought you were taking the hard line with her . nathan : i tried , i tried . i did , i tried . maxie : but you caved . nathan : i did . she 's my sister . i ca n't help it . maxie : i know . it 's one of the reasons i love you so much . nathan : i know i ca n't ask youth move back here from portland . i mean , you 've got this great job and you 're super close to georgie . maxie : getting to spend so much time with her , i 've finally realized what i 've been missing . nathan : so ... where 's that leave us ? maxie : i do n't know . but i do know that i love you very much , and we 're together right now . so at this moment , that 's all that matters . [ scene_break ] laura : oh , spencer . oh , thank god . you scared me half to death ! are you hurt ? spencer : you do n't need to worry about me , grandmother . i 'm more than a match for your average kidnapper . dante : [ chuckles ] that may be , but let 's not make a habit out of it , okay ? laura : where were you , honey ? what happened ? dante : we found out where you were being held , but you were n't -- you were n't there . how 'd you get out of there ? spencer : i went out the window . there were a bunch of old books lying around , so i stacked them up . dante : you climbed up a stack of books ? spencer : and i made sure to close the window before i jumped to the ground . i did n't want the kidnapper to notice it was open when he came back , and that gave me the head start that i needed . laura : i 'm so glad you made it back to us . spencer : [ scoffs ] i 'm glad , too , but i wish i could say the same for my glasses . laura : [ sighs ] you know that i always have a spare for you , right ? spencer : [ sighs ] laura : [ laughs ] my boy , oh ! [ scene_break ] carly : can you please tell max how grateful i am ? diane : [ sniffles ] he 's already so thrilled . i 'm sure your gratitude will be icing on the cake . carly : i love max , you know ? i really do . diane : i know you do . and i love him , too . and it 's not like i have any room to complain , you know . i know exactly the kind of man i chose to spend the rest of my life with . max is a soldier . well , now he 's a general ... [ laughing ] to continue the metaphor . but he 's never been anything other than brutally honest with me about who he is and what he does . and i made a conscious decision to take the bad if i was going to get the good , and i 've never regretted it . [ sniffles ] i 'll tell you this , though . i 'd give my eyeteeth if he would just pack it all in and become a ... little league coach ... or a fly- fishing guide . [ cup thuds ] diane : but that 's not max . and who knows ? he might become bitter and sour if he were n't really able to do what he loves . [ crying ] i just hated it every time he 'd get shot . and i do n't want to see it happen again . [ sobs ] carly : i do n't blame you . diane : [ sniffles ] i envy you , carly . you and -- you and sonny are at the start of a brand - new life . and i wish max and i could have that , too , but it 's not our time . this is your time . this is your moment , so you seize that moment , and you hold on to it , and you do n't ever let it go .
