felicia : he is duke . i promise you . lucy : all -- all right . well , then in my defense , he looks exactly like a vampire . i - i just do n't understand why i did n't see the resemblance at the time . felicia : at the time ? what are you talking about ? alexis said that you attacked a police detective with a wooden stake . lucy : i did ! i had no choice ! and it 's not a police detective ! he 's not john mcbain . his name is caleb morley . felicia : oh , now , slow down just a second . when did you start believing in vampires ? lucy : [ sighs ] felicia , i - i - i really wanted to tell you . i really did before . it 's just i did n't want to worry you . felicia : well , guess what ? we 're worried . lucy : okay , just listen . stay with me . uh -- about 10 years ago i - i - in town , th - this band showed up . uh , uh , demons , and they -- they started pretending to be a rock band and -- and a rock star and take over the town and seduce everybody with glamour and lights and fun . mcbain : so , what do you think ? reincarnation ? vampires ? past - life connection ? which one is -- sam : i actually do n't believe in any of those , but i 'll play along . if i had to choose , i would say past - life connection . mcbain : hmm . i do n't know about getting business done in a previous life , but i know there 's some stuff i 'd like to get done in this one . sam : no , do n't tell me you 're thinking about work already . mcbain : just one crook in particular . sam : you do n't have to worry . you can relax . todd manning is in custody . mcbain : you caught him ? sam : i did . i - i got him trying to escape out the e.r . doors . i could have strangled him . i really could have . but i 'll settle for him being chained to a hospital bed . mcbain : you 're not enjoying that as much as you should . sam : listen , it 's -- it 's not enough that he 's bee arrested . i want todd to pay for what he 's done . mcbain : hmm . you , uh -- you want to go and check on him again , make sure he has n't weaseled his way out ? sam : i do n't want to leave you . mcbain : [ chuckles ] i 'm fine . i 'll probably rest easier knowing that manning is where he should be . todd : maybe there are advantages to doing this the legal way . no outstanding warrants , right ? do n't have to move money off shore . maybe i should stick around for a little while and try and patch things up with carly and starr . diane : all of which i tried to tell you last night . todd : mm - hmm . you do so love to be right . diane : mm - hmm . todd : you know , you said you could beat this case against me . prove yourself right again . diane : the initial case , no question . that simply amounts to your word against the word of two career criminals , both of whom are in the employ of a triple murderer . todd : slam dunk . diane : slam dunk . that was before detective mcbain got a recording of you trying to bribe him and before you tried to flee police custody . both of those are criminal acts in and of themselves , and they lend credence to the kidnapping charge . todd : yeah , but i did n't kidnap that kid . felix : look , tracy quartermaine 's check clears , that means half the mission is accomplished . this ball is happening whether lucy 's there or not . sabrina : yeah , but we still have to find a venue . we have to recruit acts . we have to publicize the event so that people actually show up . i mean , there 's a million things that we need to do . felix : excuse me . who are you ? and what happened to sabrina santiago , the woman who was gon na single - handedly revive the nurses ' ball ? sabrina : look , i want the ball to happen , okay ? i just -- i do n't know if i can participate , not if dr. drake 's working on it , too . sam : okay . all right . give danny a big kiss for me . all right . i 'll talk to you later , okay ? diane : the d.a . thinks you are a flight risk . that 's why he wants to push your arraignment a.s.a.p . todd : so what ? that 's how you like things . you 're under pressure . diane : [ chuckles ] well , while i appreciate your confidence in my skills , even i am daunted by the extent of these charges . fortunately , i 'm the only one who still knows that you spent the last few months trying to cover up that dna test which proves that jason actually is the father of baby daniel . sam : you son of a bitch . monica : fascinating article , is n't it ? i really like the part where lucy said it could n't be a crime if the victim was n't human . tracy : you did this on purpose , monica . monica : well , i have no control if todd manning wants to put whatever in his newspaper . tracy : you knew that she had suffered a psychotic break . monica : no , her condition has not yet been diagnosed . tracy : she tried to kill a detective by putting a stake in his heart ! monica : yeah . tracy : you did n't think i needed to know that before i made my announcement ? oh , my god . my announcement . i have to get it back . where 's the `` recall `` button ? monica : maybe by the `` count your chickens before they 're hatched `` button . tracy : [ sighs ] this ca n't be . what am i gon na do ?

[ door closes ] patrick : why is she running out of here like she just knocked over a liquor store ? sam : do you have to ask why ? you 'll have to excuse my mother . despite having two grown children and one who 's in her tens , she still gets a little flustered about the fact of a man spending the night . that 's if , of course , you still want to spend the night . patrick : if you 're sure about it , i am . sam : oh , i would n't have asked you if i was n't sure . patrick : oh , good , 'cause emma 's at a sleepover at a friend 's , so i do n't have a curfew . so , the night is ours . sam : well , to tonight . jake : this ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . jake : uh , just some gym stuff . carly told me about this great boxing gym . elizabeth : oh , volonino 's ? jake : yeah . elizabeth : yeah . jake : yeah , i was just taking a walk after my workout , and i wanted to stop and watch the water for a little while . elizabeth : you 're back at the gym already ? jake : yeah . it turns out it 's a lot easier than shoveling snow . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm glad to see how far you 've come since your accident . jake : thanks to you , yeah . elizabeth : no , no , no . you deserve all the credit . you were motivated to get your body back in shape , even though you pushed yourself a little too hard at times . jake : no , i just did n't like loafing around in a hospital bed . elizabeth : oh , please . dr. o. kicked you out before you were even capable of loafing . jake : she did me a favor . do n't tell her i said that , please . elizabeth : oh , i wo n't . promise . well , you just got done working out . you must be starving . do you want to come back to my house and have dinner ? the boys would love to see you . jake : what about ric ? elizabeth : ric is out of town with his daughter , and my grandmother has bridge tonight . so , it would just be us . why not ? i . jake : i do n't think going to your house for dinner is a very good idea . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] why not ? jake : ric might object , for one . elizabeth : why ? you and i are friends . at least , i thought we were . i kind of miss that . jake : so do i . elizabeth : i barely get to see you anymore . i enjoyed the time we spent together . i wish we could do that again . jake : so do i. i just do n't think it 's possible . patrick : i ca n't believe you went through all this trouble . everything looks amazing . this salad looks so good . sam : oh , this is balsamic vinaigrette i made from scratch . patrick : really ? sam : yep . patrick : that 's impressive . sam : thank you . patrick : and truffle risotto . i mean , look at it . it looks so good . sam : well , i would reserve judgment until you 've actually tasted it . [ both laugh ] patrick : okay . i trust you , and i 'll taste it . sam : well ? how is it ? patrick : really good . sam : really good ? patrick : yeah , it 's amazing . sam : like , really , really good ? patrick : try it . wow . sam : i already know it 's gon na be good because i cooked it . patrick : mm - hmm . sam : that 's , like , really good . patrick : was i the taste - tester , or were you just gon na wait to see if i keeled over or what ? sam : hey , you 're the daredevil . patrick : liar . sam : you 're not ? patrick : seriously , though , thank you . this is -- it 's very nice . sam : you 're welcome . besides , i think i owed you for not turning me into the cops after you found me going through kevin 's files . patrick : what can i say ? i 'm a nice guy , right ? sam : true . patrick : but there was no reason to report you because you 're dropping the investigation on jake , are n't you ? sam ? you are dropping it , are n't you ? dante : what did you say ? lulu : johnny owns half of the haunted star . dante : no , johnny sold his half of the haunted star before he went into pentonville . lulu : he bought it back . i saw the transfer of ownership . dante : you did n't think about mentioning this to me ? lulu : do you really want to go there ? dante : that is not the same thing . i had one conversation with him . if you 're gon na go into business with this lowlife , that 's a big deal . johnny : whoa ! hey , careful ! i 'm a sensitive person . lulu : i just found out about it . that 's why johnny is here . johnny : i wanted to give lulu the good news in person , that we 're partners again . lulu : i would have told you , but it was a little difficult to get a word in between your ranting and getting up in johnny 's face . dante : okay , look . i overreacted . okay ? but even you have to agree with me right now that going into business with this guy is not a good thing to do . he is a criminal . lulu : he was exonerated . that 's why he 's out of prison . he did n't kill anthony . dante : that 's not the crime i 'm talking about . lucas : hey , mark , can you take ms . martinez down to x - ray , please ? mark : sure . lucas : thank you . rosalie : wait . i ... i ca n't get x - rays . i do n't have health insurance . michael : actually , as soon as you agreed to be my assistant , you were covered by the company plan . and since you got hurt on the job , elq will be more than happy to pay your bills . rosalie : gee , thanks . lucas : do n't worry . mark here will take good care of you . mark : you 'll be back in no time . rosalie : great . [ clears throat ] michael : well , thanks , dr. jones . lucas : [ laughs ] friends and family get to call me lucas . michael : i bet your mom calls you `` dr. jones `` just to hear herself say it . lucas : yeah . she 's pretty thrilled . she was pushing pretty hard , in that very sweet , very incessant , very stubborn way of hers for me to use my medical degree . and she has admitted , though i would n't say she 's gloating -- she has admitted that now that i have a boyfriend , she has nothing else to pester me about . michael : well , she 's really proud of you . lucas : i know . i 'd like to think that my fathers , both of them , would be very proud of me , as well . but tony 's gone , and julian 's in pentonville with your dad . sonny : shawn 's good . he does n't want anything to happen to lucas and michael . luke will not have a clue that he 's being tailed . julian : for all we know , this guy could have a mole in your organization . sonny : shawn 's not gon na bring anybody else in . he 's more than capable of doing this . do not worry . he 's gon na fly solo . fluke : i ca n't delegate . thing always go wrong when i do . i had to make sure that the house was in lockdown . helena : well , now you have , and i 'm glad you did . we have a lot to discuss . fluke : yeah . wait a minute . helena : what ? fluke : how did you get in here ? did you pick the lock ? helena : no . i did n't have to . the front door was unlocked . fluke : no , that ca n't be . i locked it when i came through . lulu : if you 're not talking about anthony 's murder , then what crime is johnny allegedly involved in ? johnny : i will have you know that i have been squeaky - clean since i got sprung . dante : oh , you have , have you ? johnny : mm - hmm . lulu : dante , look at me . do you have some kind of evidence against johnny ? julian : what do you mean that shawn is flying solo ? what the hell good does that do us ? sonny : okay , you know what ? i know you 're concerned that word 's gon na get back to the fake luke , but i 'm telling you that 's not going to happen . you know why ? because shawn 's the only one i talked to . he 's gon na take care of this , personally . julian : okay . it does n't matter if it 's one or a hundred . this guy , this fake luke , is gon na know we 're onto him as soon as shawn confronts him . sonny : what do you think this is , amateur hour ? i just told shawn to follow the guy , right ? see where he goes , who he talks to , maybe get some insight into what happened to luke . if luke is still alive , i 'm not giving up on him . julian : so , this is surveillance only ? sonny : yeah . you do n't have to worry about it . shawn 's smart . he 's not gon na get busted . fluke : i have to search the house . helena : you 're being paranoid . fluke : with good reason ! johnny zacchara 's people botched the hit on julian . before that , julian botched the hit on jordan ashford . rivera botched the hit on julian . the whole thing has been a disaster ! and now julian is behind bars in pentonville , safe and alive . helena : well , how did this disappointment come to pass ? fluke : sonny corinthos made an uncharacteristic gesture and rescued julian . helena : unexpected . fluke : and now he 's probably shooting his mouth off to anybody who will listen , telling them that luke spencer is not who he says he is . helena : well , they may have temporarily bonded on the prison yard , but surely you do n't expect julian and sonny to join some sort of pentonville coffee klatch ? fluke : i expect that sonny will use julian 's fear to his advantage . nobody ever said that corinthos was n't smart . i 'm sure he 's made a power base in pentonville , and he 's offered julian protection in exchange for information . helena : on you and your ... `` extracurricular `` activities ? fluke : right . he 's probably talking now , even as we speak , which means that until i can get julian put down , i have to be very careful . there 's probably somebody gunning for me right now . michael : look . sonny 's not my father anymore . and for that matter , carly 's not my mother . lucas : listen , michael . i know how hurt you must be , but you have to understand how much carly loves you . michael : okay . i get that she 's your sister and everything , but she covered for sonny after he murdered my father . and then , she lied to protect him . i 'm not gon na forgive her for that . lucas : you know what ? i 'm not buying it . michael : what do you mean ? lucas : what i mean is that i think that you 're way oversimplifying a very complicated mess -- one in which everyone , a.j . included , was wrong . besides , it 's not how you think , michael . you , more than anyone i 've ever known in my entire life , have the ability to take the good with the bad . you understand that people screw up . michael : shooting an unarmed man is a hell of a lot more than a screw - up . lucas : okay . how is morgan to blame for all of this ? michael : morgan lied , too . lucas : [ chuckles ] morgan lies all the time . you never held that against him before . listen . he needs you , michael . do you realize that ? it 's like he 's just sitting around , waiting for you to show up and tell him what the hell he 's supposed to be doing with his life . he does n't have a job , and listen . as the former poster boy for unemployment , i 'm not saying that that 's necessarily a bad thing . but he has no purpose at all , other than going to visiting the baby at kiki 's , shooting some pool at the floating rib , and occasionally taking josslyn to the movies . he does nothing . michael : yeah , he 'll figure something out . lucas : no , no . i 'm not so sure that he will . let 's face it . when sonny and carly were going through all their stuff , getting crazy , you were the one -- you were the one who was always there for morgan . you were looking out for him . can you really just resign as his big brother ? michael : look . lucas , i really do n't want to have this conversation with you . i 'm angry at way too many people , and i do n't want to add you to that list . lucas : okay , fine . that 's fine . let 's talk about something neutral then , okay ? i hear that you 're building a clinic in a.j . 's memory . michael : yeah , that 's right . lucas : that 's awesome . really generous and really commendable . michael : you think so ? lucas : yeah , absolutely . it 's something i feel really passionately about . free medical care for everyone ? i mean , it 's something that 's really hard to do around here , especially with obrecht in charge . i think this is gon na be a godsend for the people of the waterfront community . michael : well , if you feel that strongly about the clinic , how would you like to come run it ? elizabeth : you do n't think it 's possible for us to be friends ? jake : i imagine ric would have a problem with it . elizabeth : well , it 's not really ric 's decision ... unless this has something to do with carly . are you guys seeing each other ? jake : carly and i are friends . elizabeth : oh , so , you can be friends with carly but not with me ? and please do n't say it 's because of ric , 'cause the guy i 'm dating does not get to decide who my friends are . jake : this is about me , actually . if we spend time together , i do n't think i 'm gon na be able to stop myself from wanting more . and even if we tried to just be friends , i imagine it will get pretty complicated . and that 's not good for you . it 's not good for me . i should go . goodbye , elizabeth . sam : yes , i am dropping my jake investigation . but for the record -- not for one second do i believe that man is innocent . i just figured that i should leave it up to the cops to prove that he 's guilty . patrick : i think that 's a good decision . sam : let 's just say i have realized that i 've got other priorities in life . patrick : hmm . and what are those ? sam : you 'll just have to wait and see . helena : do you really think that someone broke into this house just to get at you ? would the two of us be standing here , having this conversation if that were true ? or would your assailant already have made his move ? fluke : i do n't know . there 's an old lock on that door . it needs to be replaced , but ... maybe you 're right . helena : are n't i always ? oh , come . come . you have many more important things to do besides moldering around in that dark basement . what do you say we find somewhere more conducive to conversation ? fluke : okay . but hang on . all right . [ door closes ] shawn : he was awfully concerned about whatever 's in that basement . let 's see . oh , screw these . okay , let 's see what 's down here . julian : well , i certainly hope you 're right about shawn 's skills . sonny : like i told you before , shawn 's smart . he 's got military training . he knows what he 's doing . he 's not an idiot . julian : [ chuckles ] if this impostor catches him , he 's gon na know exactly who put shawn onto him . like , here 's the deal . everyone knows that butler is your number - one guy . so , this impostor 's gon na know that i told you the truth about him . and then guess what ? both our sons are gon na pay the price . lucas : was that a job offer ? michael : i 've already hired several nurses , including sabrina santiago . i just need someone to run it . lucas : wow . i mean , i 'm really flattered , but i 'm just an intern . michael : does n't matter . i need someone who 's young and idealistic , someone who will really fight for their patients ' care -- someone like you . lucas : you 're serious ? michael : very . are you interested ? lucas : yes , yes . i 'm definitely interested . michael : hey , look who it is . everything okay ? rosalie : uh , yeah , i think so . the techs never say . they leave it to the doctors . mark : the x - rays are there . lucas : all right , thanks . [ monitor beeping ] michael : so , what do you think ? lucas : the ankle 's definitely not broken , hairline fracture or otherwise . rosalie : i did n't think it was . michael : hey , hey . take it easy . rosalie : i 'm fine , okay ? i 'm really sorry that you went through all this trouble . i told you it was no big deal . michael : at least we know for sure now that you were right . come on . i 'll take you home . rosalie : thank you , dr. jones . lucas : you 're very welcome . i 'm just glad you 're okay . do put some ice on that tonight , though . rosalie : i will . lucas : okay . michael : i 'll be in touch . lucas : okay . be well . rosalie : michael , it 's really fine . you do n't have to drive me home . michael : you would n't have gotten hurt if it was n't for me . i feel responsible . rosalie : okay . michael : okay . dante : no , i do n't have any evidence against johnny at this time . johnny : told you . dante : i do n't need it . johnny : hmm . dante : i know you , johnny . you know him , too . he 's the same guy who spent his life in the mob and keeps claiming he 's trying to get out , but he always fails . and you know what ? you do n't need to introduce a criminal element into your business . lulu : i do n't know what i 'm supposed to do , okay ? he owns half of the haunted star . dante : okay . there 's an easy fix . lulu : what ? dante : you sell johnny the other half . patrick : that was amazing . thank you very much . you are a fantastic cook , sam . sam : fantastic cook ? patrick : mm - hmm . sam : i would hardly say that . it 's my first meal . i 'm definitely nowhere near a gourmet chef . patrick : oh , i would n't say that . thank you . thank you very much for doing this for me . it 's lovely . sam : lovely ? patrick : yes . sam : well , guess what ? i have got something better . i 've got some dessert for you . patrick : wait a second . wait a second . what if we , uh ... sam : what ? patrick : [ clears throat ] what if we save the dessert till after ? sam : till after what ? baby , believe it 's true and i 've spent all of my life waiting ... sam : okay .

[ chuckles ] coaches and training cost money that i did n't have . my father told me that being a figure skater was a pipe dream . and that i should hang up my skates and ... forget about it . so i did . and , uh , i have n't put on a pair since . michael : i 'm sorry . nelle : well , dreams are just that , right -- dreams . not everyone can afford to follow them . i learned that at a young age . [ sighs ] taught me to grow up fast . so i 'm gon na pass on skating . it does n't have a happy memory associated with it . michael : well ... memories are memories , right ? some are good , some are bad . but it 's in the past . i 've had some pretty ... difficult memories , but i choose not to let them define me . when you wallow in the pain , you just become a victim for the rest of your life . now , i 've learned that what defines you is what you do today . right ? and what i 've seen in you now , being here today , it 's pretty great . so just ... let go of all that baggage . nelle , it 's just ... it 's just holding you back . [ scene_break ] griffin : you had an affair ? sonny : no . no , it was one night . it 's just ...

[ sighs ] griffin : who is this woman ? sonny : someone close to the family . she , uh ... she 's actually getting close to michael , my son now . so i would n't only be hurting carly ... i 'd be hurting another son . griffin : look ... i understand why you 're struggling with this . and i , uh ... i certainly ca n't judge you for your actions . but i 'm assuming you 're not trying to make a bunch of hail marys and be absolved of your sins here . sonny : i 'm just looking for advice . i know what it could do , the damage it could do . i just -- i just want to know if i should tell the truth about what i 've done . [ scene_break ] rudge : i would n't do anything stupid like tell your family about our mutual friend . that would only put them directly in her sights . julian : oh , yeah . yeah , that 's pretty clever , is n't it ? that 's how you 've been controlling me all along , is n't it ? by threatening my family . yeah , you know , i thought i was keeping them safe . but , ironically , everything you 've had me do has n't led to their safety at all . in fact , it 's destroying them . so i 'm done . rudge : boss wo n't like that . julian : [ chuckles ] well , you know , maybe ... maybe it 's time for the boss to start worrying about me for a change . you know , it 's been to her advantage to be working in the shadows . but maybe it 's time we turn on the lights on , huh ? because when that happens , well , i think you 'll find i make for a pretty powerful enemy . rudge : that 's really how you want to play this ? julian : [ chuckling ] well ... i do n't think you 've been listening to me . tell your boss i 'm done playing . rudge : [ sighs ] [ ringing ] waiter : yes ? i 'm listening . rudge : the boss was right . mr. jerome is n't being cooperative . we need to go ahead with her plan to ... incentivize him . waiter : understood . olivia : hey , ned . yeah , i 'm gon na take you up on that offer to pick up leo from the sitter . okay , i 'll swing by your place after the ceremony , and i 'll pick him up .

[ scene_break ] nelle : what you said was very sweet . but it 's easy to let things go when you grew up in the lap of luxury . michael : well , that 's uh -- that 's not -- that 's not fair , and that 's actually not very accurate . um ... look , i 've been through a lot of stuff , just like you 've been through a lot of stuff . and all i know is that you have to keep living , have to keep trying , and you will make it through . it 's like that old cliché , it always gets darkest before the dawn . it 's true . nelle : how do you stay so positive ? michael : 'cause i do n't like the alternative . nelle : i guess , but ... i wish i could do that . michael : yeah ? nelle : mm - hmm . michael : well ... here 's what i do . every single day , i make one happy memory . just one . that way , i 'm always looking forward , never looking back . so how about we start right now , hmm ? how about we rent some skates and test out this ice ? nelle : [ sighs ] michael : okay . come on . [ scene_break ] griffin : when it comes to admitting the truth , there 's two schools of thought . one being that the truth will set you free . that honesty is valued above all else , no matter the consequences . sonny : what 's the other one ? griffin : that the damage is already done . and by telling your wife , you 'd be unburdening yourself at her expense . sonny : not to mention alienating me from my son . so ... i suffer in silence , or i bite the bullet . i ... [ sighs ] [ chuckling ] i do n't know which one to choose . griffin : only you can decide . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , but i -- i got to get going . sonny : yeah , i 'll walk you out .

[ scene_break ] ryan : you 're really gon na fight me on this ? you agreed to a divorce . laura : i 'm asking you to be patient , kevin . ryan : i was patient for months while you played nursemaid to spencer . laura : he had two broken legs . ryan : well , that kid needs supervision for a lot more than clumsiness . laura : spencer was a part of the package from the very beginning . you knew that . now you 're acting like i sprang him on ryan : i 've been patient . i 've done everything you asked -- laura : you would n't go to counseling . you would n't talk to me about any of it . ryan : because it 's obviously over . i want that divorce finalized . laura : so you can go play house with ava . right ?

[ stammers ] there 's no wiggle room in that shared custody , okay ? the only way you 're taking avery out of port charles is over sonny 's dead body ! [ scene_break ] curtis : do you think marcus is mad at you ? stella : measured by his silence , i 'd say so . curtis : yeah , but you helped him make peace with sonny , uh -- uh , you gave comfort to -- to mike and yvonne . stella : thereby increasing the distance between marcus and his wife . curtis : that was the alzheimer 's , not you . stella : which is what marcus is truly angry at , but it 's hard to visit your anger on a disease . [ scene_break ] sonny : dad , slow down ! carly : yes ! sonny : why 'd you tear your room apart ? what is he doing ? carly : what are you looking for ? help us understand . what 's happening ? ! mike : well , i ca n't find it ! it 's got ta be here somewhere . what the hell happened to carly : tell us what you 're looking for . we can help you find it . sonny : let us help you , dad . dad , what did you lose ? mike : [ breathing heavily ] -my watch ! sonny : the one mom gave you ? mike : the one my wife , adela , gave me ! i g -- i t - told yvonne about it , and i promised to show it to her , but now i ca n't find it . it 's got ta be here . i - i- i - i - i - i know i had it ! i always keep it with me , but now it 's gone ! sonny : dad ... it 's right here . mike : what the hell are you doing with that ? sonny : you gave it to me last year at the h -- dad , you gave it to me last year at the hospital , and you told me to hold on ... mike : i did not ! that 's not true ! i - i would never give adela 's watch sonny : i wanted to give it back to you , but you told me to keep it 'cause you were afraid you were gon na lose it . mike : liar ! liar ! you 're nothing but a thief ! [ scene_break ] cameron : charlotte 's bullying aiden ? - jake : shh !

[ scene_break ] jordan : i have no comment at this time . lulu : fine . did the pcpd indicate that the killer is timing his murders with major holidays or other big events ? jordan : maxie . lulu : okay , no intimidation tactics , thank you . maxie : i am not gon na get in the middle of this . jordan : cancel lucy 's book launch and i 'm gone . lulu : i - is there a particular aspect of lucy 's event that makes you think it would draw the killer out ? jordan : no comment . maxie : look , i do n't want to give this psycho a platform , but lucy will kill me herself if i cancel this book signing ... jordan : you know this is the right thing to do , maxie . nathan would say the same thing . lulu : what is wrong with you ? today is maxie and nathan 's wedding anniversary . [ scene_break ] peter : please , join me . what can i do for you ? mac : it 's obvious how much you care about maxie . now it 's time for you to step up . peter : i beg your pardon ? mac : i 've been working double - time to protect felicia and maxie , but i ca n't be everywhere at once . peter : well , i 'll do anything within my power to ensure maxie 's safety . mac : then take lulu off her story . [ scene_break ] laura : you are not asking for this divorce out of civic - mindedness . you want your freedom to be with ava . ryan : a quick and painless divorce is what 's best for everyone , but i 'll admit that ava and my future is on my mind , as well . it is n't fair to keep a failed marriage hanging over our heads . laura : i am minutes away from taking the oath of office , at which point i will dive into every issue that is facing port charles , not the least of which is a serial killer in our midst . ryan : well , i 'm sure the police will sort that out . in fact , there is precedent for a killer like this one to quit while they 're ahead . laura : the divorce will have to wait , kevin . the people of port charles are my first priority now . ryan : or are you dragging your feet because of your commitment to a lost cause -- namely our marriage ? [ scene_break ] ava : what are the odds , do you think , of sonny dropping dead ? scott : not good . people have been trying to kill him for 25 years . no such luck . ava : well , if he ca n't be reasonable , if he ca n't be convinced to let me take avery , then what ? scott : i 'll tell you what . y - you , stay here . you let your friends help you get on with your life . ava : wh -- well , why wo n't you do that ? why wo n't you help me ? scott : i am helping you ! i 'm giving you free advice . drop it . ava : i can not leave without avery . scott : listen , ava , i know what you 're going through . i know it 's tough . i 've been there . but trust me , you will learn to live with it . ava : i should n't have to . i have a chance to get out of here . i have a chance to start over . and kevin says that it 's just what i need ... scott : well , hold on as -- kevin ? ! this is his big idea ? ava : so what if it is ? [ scene_break ] curtis : yeah , uh , marcus has a right to his anger , he has a right to his grief -- he does not have a right to take it out on you . in fact , i 'm gon na go give this cat a piece of my mind . stella : whoa , wait . no , no . you will do no such thing . curtis : i 'll be doing him a favor . stella : i highly doubt he 'll agree . curtis : [ sighs ] stella : sit down . curtis : when it 's all said and done , auntie , he 's gon na realize what he had in you . and he 'll be sorry that he ever hurt you . stella : exactly what do you think i am to marcus ? [ scene_break ] mike : how dare you ! carly : sonny was just holding it for you . mike : you took this out of my room ! i want this man arrested . i want him -- yeah , i want him ... arrested ! call the police ! sonny : it 's -- it 's my house , dad . mike : [ chuckling ] oh , r - right ! what kind of operation are you running here , lady , huh ? what kind of -- letting trash like that go in and out of people 's rooms ? w - w - what 's your cut ? what is your cut , huh ? how many people here `` misplace `` their precious valuables ? just -- just -- just be -- w -- how -- why does that happen ? ! carly : mike ... this is your son , sonny . his name 's michael . mike : no , i do n't have a son . sonny : dad , dad , dad , you got y -- your -- your watch . go upstairs and maybe ... mike : do n't touch me ! sonny : y - you 're getting worked up for nothing . mike : you can not have my watch ! sonny : i do n't want your watch , dad ! mike : i do n't want you to have my watch ! i 'll never let you have it ! sonny : dad . dad ... [ grunts ] mike : i said do n't touch me , but you did n't listen . not as easy as it -- when you -- you ca n't go behind my back . come on , you coward . come on . fight me like a man ! carly : knock it off ! there is no fighting here . mike : no , but he 's the one ... carly : you go up to your room , or i will have you thrown out . you 're the one that needs to cool off . upstairs . do you want to lose your deposit ? mike : you see me coming , you better walk the other way . [ scene_break ] peter : it 's in the public 's best interest to be informed . mac : i think the public is more interested in staying alive . peter : well , m - might they be better prepared with all the facts ? for instance , are you aware that the police are now exploring a theory that these recent murders are in fact inspired by ryan chamberlain 's crime spree ? mac : i might 've heard that . where 'd you get it ? peter : read the invader and find out . mac : keep ryan chamberlain 's name out of the story a little longer . look , if the killer knows that the police are onto him and his m.o . , he 'll stay two steps ahead rather than just one . the more time jordan has to study ryan , the better her chances of catching the killer before he can copy that bastard again . peter : ryan chamberlain was obsessed with felicia . mac : and felicia still lives here in port charles . so does her daughter . look , if the killer is copying ryan , they 're both targets . the best edge the police have is the ryan angle . so for maxie 's sake , you have to bury the story . [ scene_break ] lulu : i ca n't believe that you would use nathan 's name to get anything from maxie . today of all days . jordan : maxie ... i 'm sorry . i did n't realize . maxie : [ sniffles ] it 's okay . i mean , there 's no way you could 've known that today was our anniversary . and you 're right to do what you can to protect the city . - jordan : so you 'll cancel the event ? - maxie : no . because you were wrong about what nathan would say . he would say life must go on . he would n't want us to live in fear ... or make our world small . that 's letting the killer win . [ scene_break ] curtis : [ sighs ] marcus should be damn grateful to have you back in his life after all this time . stella : [ chuckles ] baby ... i 'm afraid you 're overestimating the connection . marcus and i were ... bittersweet memories to each other , and we 're better left that way . [ scene_break ] ava : my relationship with kevin is off - limits . scott : oh , come on ! what are you doing with that guy ? he 's your doctor . ava : was . scott : he 's also married to laura . ava : separated . scott : oh , ava , for crying out loud . the bells should be going off in your head right now . i know you 've been in a bad place , and i know kevin 's been there for you , but , you know , consider the source . i mean , he was willing to compromise and sacrifice his relationship with laura . do you think he 's gon na treat you any better ? ! ava : why ca n't you just be happy for me ? or at least be relieved that i 'm not drowning in a bathtub full of vodka ! scott : because you can do better . ava : yeah ? with who ? with you ? [ scene_break ] laura : surrendering my marriage is hard because i still love the man i said my vows to . and despite all evidence to the contrary , i believe that he still exists . ryan : perhaps i was n't the man you thought i was in the first place . laura : what does that mean ? ryan : i 'm sorry i have n't lived up to your image of me , laura . maybe if we had spent more time getting to know one another , we would 've realized that we were n't a good fit . you do n't challenge me . you do n't see the world the same way i do . you do n't play for the same stakes . you do n't even understand the game ... laura : go to hell .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : since that night that lucky got hurt trying to save me , there have been two luckys . the one i married , the boy i fell in love with , the boy who saved me and healed me and the one i owe my life to , my sanity and my heart . then the other lucky is the one on drugs . the one who lies and is unfaithful to me . unfortunately , he loves those pills way more than he loves me , which is really scary . and he upsets and he confuses cameron . i just feel like it 's better to not have a father at all than to have someone like that around . and the only thing that separates the two luckys is a bottle of pills . jason : okay , what if lucky can stay off the pills ? elizabeth : the program says that i have no effect on whether he uses or not . but i know him . i know that if i -- if i were to take him back as my husband and as a father to my children , then he would have a better chance at staying in recovery . so do i owe him that chance for all the years we 've been together ? jason : when you love someone , you know , their happiness matters more than your own . and it is tempting to -- to make choices for them , to play god , and to convince yourself that you 're doing it for their own good . elizabeth : but is that so wrong ? [ jason sighs ] jason : i do n't know . if you look at it , it means that you do n't trust either person to -- to make their own choices , and without trust , love does not last . for what it 's worth , if you want to love lucky again , i just -- i just think you need to find a way to trust him .

a.j . : yeah . just when i thought i was n't gon na be able to run elq , this happens . tracy crashes and burns . michael : so -- so lucy coe accused mcbain of being the vampire king ? a.j . : yeah , in front of half a dozen witnesses . michael : this is kind of sad . a.j . : well , it 's sad for her . it 's good for us . if we play this the right way , elq 's ours for the taking . tracy : i just went public on social media , telling everybody who follows me , on every available platform , that you are my new co - c.e.o . and now you attack a police detective . lucy : mm . a vampire . alexis : thus the insanity plea . tracy : i can not have my new co - c.e.o . using the `` i `` word in court . lucy : i could n't agree more , because i am not insane . i am simply trying to keep this town safe from caleb feeding on all the innocents here in town unchecked . alexis : and i have a duty to get my client professional help . tracy : stuff your duty . stuff your client . a.j . is about to pounce . i ca n't have you giving him any more ammunition . mac : tracy , your concerns are not the priority at the moment . felicia : lucy might be ill . tracy : a.j . is trying to undermine me at elq . if she tells the world that she 's insane , what does it say about me ? alexis : may i ? lucy is very -- lucy : hey , people , people , people ! can we focus here ? ! once we get through all this legal rigmarole , i can get out there and track down caleb and kill him . mac : see what we mean ? tracy : i do n't need to tell you what a complete disaster it would be if a.j . took over elq . he is a total incompetent . alexis : well , i totally agree with your assessment of a.j . , and i 'm so terribly sorry for your -- tracy : is n't there another plea ? no , no , no . another plea . some kind of legal maneuvering that would make it all go away so i could buy some time to fend off a.j . a.j . : hey , i 'm glad mcbain survived , and i really do hope that lucy gets all the help that she needs . but right now , we 've got an opportunity here . michael : i get that this whole lucy thing is bad for elq 's public image , but it does n't affect the people with voting rights . i mean , you and tracy are still deadlocked , right ? a.j . : maybe not . look , if we can prove that lucy had a psychotic break at the same time that she was supporting tracy , that 's grounds for a re - vote . and the way this thing 's been splashed all over the media , you know , i think that we 've got a pretty good shot at getting one of tracy 's supporters to come over to our side . michael : how could anyone expect tracy to know in advance that lucy was crazy ? a.j . : come on , michael . there 's a lot of ways to spin things to our advantage . tracy will be out . you and i will be running elq as father and son . tracy : just make sure lucy keeps her mouth shut . no talk about vampires . alexis : okay . what motive do you suggest i use to explain why she stabbed a man in the heart with a stake ? tracy : i do n't know , alexis . she was drunk . it was an accident . just do n't call her insane . lucy : i do n't care what people think about me , you know ? i care about there is a vampire -- the undead caleb morley ! he 's tried to hypnotize everybody . do you realize he made you all forget that he tried to kill everybody in town ? ! tracy : and yet here we all are , with the world at our fingertips , if you can just stop talking about vampires . lucy : stop talking about vampires while the creatures are invading our town and insidiously going through darkness to get to us and hurt us at every move ? ! tracy : lucy -- think , lucy . you are the new co - c.e.o . of elq . that means a corner office , private jets , a six - figure income . lucy : oh , how about a mid - six - figure income ? tracy : you can have anything if you can just stop this obsession with vampires . lucy : i have an obligation to everyone -- tracy : you have an obligation to shut down coecoe cosmetics before the s.e.c . buries you in paperwork . lucy : whatever . i 'll do it . i will survive . i always do . tracy : yeah , but the nurses ' ball wo n't survive , because if you keep this up , i 'm gon na be forced to , uh , withdraw my check . lucy : you would n't dare do that . tracy : i think you need to think about all those people . they 're depending on you for your support -- the doctors , the patients , the families . you really want to turn your back on them ? lucy : wow , you really can be manipulative , ca n't you ? tracy : i think i 'm just being honest . is stopping this caleb person really more important than helping people with h.i.v . and aids ? your decision . a.j . : michael , if we can force a second vote , we 're on our way . michael : i 'm just surprised how you 're handling this . a.j . : did you really think that i was n't gon na find a way to get back at tracy ? michael : i was a little worried when i found out she beat you out as c.e.o . i was kind of scared you might do something crazy last night . a.j . : yeah , well , uh , i did . carly : i did something self - destructive . it was n't the first time , and it probably wo n't be the last . felix : but why cut off all your hair ? carly : why not ? felix : hmm . well , obviously , you 're trying to make a statement . probably something to do with a man . todd : lieutenant mcbain , i thought you 'd be in bed after some discerning woman stabbed you in the -- [ chuckling ] heart with a stake . mcbain : you know , i said i 'd live long enough to see you behind bars , and it looks like i will . can we have a nice set of bracelets for mr. manning ? officer : yes , sir . diane : with -- with all due respect , detective , i think that 's going to be up to a jury . mcbain : so , let 's get him to the courthouse . diane : is n't that gon na be a little problematic for you ? you can barely walk . todd : you know what ? if you 're not feeling well , why do n't you lie down right there , mcbain ? i 'd hate for anything bad to happen to you . ow ! mcbain : but i knew you 'd miss me if i was n't there , so i 'm gon na personally supervise your transfer to the courthouse . your call , detective . mcbain : thank you . let 's get going . epiphany : detective mcbain . where do you think you 're going ? mcbain : uh -- to court . epiphany : they are going to court . you are getting your ass back in bed -- now . carly : who cares why i cut my hair ? it 's gone . it 's done . i 've got to live with it . oh , god . felix : everything okay ? carly : yep . the room 's spinning right now , but i 'll be fine . i just got to sit for a second . felix : have you had breakfast ? carly : no , i ca n't even think of eating food right now . felix : do n't worry . i 'll do it for you . carly : [ groans ] felix : y - yes . hi . uh , we need , uh , some coffee , scrambled eggs , bananas -- carly : gross ! felix : -- and orange juice . carly : mnh - mnh . felix : this for miss jacks , so get on it . that means stat . carly : no way . no way i can eat that food . felix : amino acids , potassium , and fructose -- and plenty of water . you 'll feel better in no time . carly : who are you ? felix : i 'm felix dubois . i 'm in my final year of nursing . carly : i went to nursing school . they never taught me a course on hangover remedies . [ sighs ] felix : well , the clubs which i 've been known to frequent and , uh , occasionally over - imbibe -- you know , i have a lot of experience in it , trust me . carly : fresh out of that . felix : trust ? carly : yep , and i really want to change the subject right now . felix : well , considering the state you 're in , you do n't think i 've already figured this out ? carly : what do you want me to tell you -- that i butchered my hair because of todd manning ? felix : [ chuckles ] we like the bad boys , do n't we ? todd : you know , john , she is the boss around here . maybe you should hop up on this bed right here and , uh , epiphany can give you a sponge bath . epiphany : are you representing this fool ? diane : i am . epiphany : if you do n't shut him up , i will . and as for you , detective , i 'm gon na have an orderly take you back to your room . mcbain : with all due respect , ma'am , you -- you ca n't keep me here against my will , so i 'm gon na leave . i 'm gon na go to court and -- epiphany : not against doctor 's orders , you wo n't . mcbain : well , i 'll -- i 'll take my chances . epiphany : counselor , could you please explain to him what happens if he leaves against doctor 's orders ? diane : the hospital wo n't be liable when you collapse . mcbain : understood . now , ma'am , if -- if you do n't mind stepping out of the way , we do n't want mr. manning to be late for his arraignment . epiphany : it 's your funeral , detective . todd : oh , would n't that be great ? [ chuckles ] hey , from your lips . lucy : [ inhales , exhales deeply ] okay . i will not mention -- caleb . tracy : thank you . a simple `` not guilty `` plea will suffice . mac : do what alexis tells you . she 's the best . felicia : we 'll be right here for you , lucy . oh , this is awful . i did n't realize how fragile she is . mac : i knew she was into psychics and the supernatural , but , i mean , i never thought she 'd believe in vampires . felicia : i just hope she can get the help that she needs . alexis : so , when the judge asks you , `` how do you plead ? `` you will say -- lucy : not guilty , your honor . alexis : good , lucy . i 'll get the bail and figure out a strategy later . tracy : so ix - nay on the ampires - vay . lucy : i am still going to slay caleb . but ... for the good of the nurses ' ball and elq -- i will keep quiet -- for now . tracy : thank god . michael : look , if you did something illegal , we should probably call diane and come up with some kind of a strategy . a.j . : [ chuckles ] you really are conditioned to think the worst , are n't you ? it 's not a surprise , i mean , given how you grew up . michael : a.j . , just tell me what you did . a.j . : it 's nothing you need to worry about . michael : you sure ? a.j . : yeah . michael , i did n't drink , even though your mother tried to get me to . carly : how do you know todd manning ? felix : we spent the night together -- in a professional capacity . i was his nurse . carly : todd 's in the hospital ? felix : yeah . carly : what happened ? felix : they brought him over lockup . he was worked over . carly : well , how bad was he hurt ? felix : not bad . it all turned out to be just a ploy . carly : you 're telling me todd got himself beat up so he could have to go to the hospital so he could escape ? felix : yeah . he almost got out the door when this lady jumped on his back and started screaming . [ chuckles ] carly : yeah , i guess that 's typical of todd , huh ? make a mess , do n't stick around to clean it up . i do n't know why i expected anything different from him . felix : moral of the story -- do n't be cutting your hair off for no man . carly : too late . felix : well , i ca n't fix your heart , but -- i can fix your hair . b.b . britt : nice shirt -- though i like you better without it . patrick : emma picked it out . britt : i do n't know how to ask , but are we okay ? was i too aggressive , jumping in the shower with you the other day ? patrick : just the opposite , actually . britt : oh , not aggressive enough ? patrick : listen , britt , i 've been thinking a lot about -- about it , about you , and , frankly , i think i was over thinking it . you jumping in the shower like that -- it was -- it was great . britt : mm . my sentiments exactly . so -- what now ? can we take this party to a nice , big bed ? patrick : that would be great , too , but i have a babysitting problem now that sabrina quit . britt : i took the liberty . patrick : what 's that ? britt : i got the name of a reputable babysitting agency . patrick : thank you . um [ clears throat ] that 's -- that 's nice of you , but , you know , sabrina 's great with emma . she 's gon na be hard to replace . epiphany : miss santiago . where 's felix ? and tell me the truth this time . sabrina : felix went to secure a venue for the nurses ' ball . epiphany : what nurses ' ball ? there is n't gon na be any nurses ' ball . carly : you want to cut my hair ? i thought you were a nursing student . felix : girl , beauty is my sideline . i apprenticed for weeks at this place called `` foxy roxy 's . `` [ chuckles ] now , roxy did n't have much going on upstairs , but the girl could handle some scissors . carly : right . i 'm gon na pass . felix : are you sure ? because , i mean , i could -- carly : no , no , no . my guy 's downstairs in the salon , off the lobby , and , you know , he can help me out . plus , i 'm not letting those scissors touch my hair again . i also used them to cut up todd 's clothes . felix : [ laughs ] so you used these not only on your hair , but you cut the man 's clothes up , too ? carly : mm - hmm . and that was n't the worst mistake i made last night . a.j . : look , i should n't have said anything , all right . i 'm really not trying to trash carly . michael : just tell me what she did . a.j . : look , um , i was disappointed , and i , uh , had that run - in with tracy , and i found myself in a bar . and i guess -- bad habits die hard . michael : you thought about having a drink ? a.j . : yeah . yeah . i mean , i was just -- i was really broken up about the whole thing . i wanted to work with you at elq , and -- and i felt that maybe you were gon na slip away . and then there i was , and i 'm staring at the pretty , shiny bottles , and i 'm deciding whether or not i 'm gon na crack one open and climb inside . who shows up ? carly . she sees me struggling with the urge . what does she do ? she offers to buy me a drink . you know ? she was just -- just hoping -- just hoping that i 'd pick up , so that it would wreck any chance of you and me working things out . michael : i ca n't believe she 'd do that to you . a.j . : well , i hate to disappoint you , but , uh , it 's not the first time that she 's taken advantage of a weak moment . listen -- listen , she was drunk , and she was upset , and -- and , frankly , i do n't even think she knew what she was doing . michael : well , look , at least -- at least you did n't drink . a.j . : no . but i did spend the night with your mother . carly : i , uh , had a fight with todd . well , i mean , it was n't really a fight . i just found out he had been lying to me for a long time . and so i wanted to go to jake 's , which is now the floating rib . felix : to drown your sorrows . carly : i used to go there with , um -- with a good friend and -- and play pool and -- and he was -- he was a friend , and he would n't lie to me , and he was someone i could always trust . felix : does this paragon have a name ? carly : it does n't matter . thank you . it does n't matter because he 's gone , and i miss him , and i did exactly what he always told me not to do . i was reckless , and i was out of control , and i got drunk , and i let some man i despise bring me home . felix : uh - oh . carly : i did n't sleep with him . felix : good , 'cause any man that would let you handle scissors in your condition does n't deserve you . carly : i 'm the one that got out the scissors , and i 'm the one that cut up todd 's clothes . felix : it could have been worse . you could have cut him up . carly : yeah . [ both chuckle ] felix : look at you . your smile lights up a room . todd : pathogen scare , right ? we 're sitting at the hospital . we 're on the steps . do you remember that ? and you looked at me ? all sweaty , looked ghastly . you were so beautiful . you were so beautiful to me . and you smiled . and i thought , `` wow . i do n't want to die , 'cause i like that smile . i wanted more time with you . felix : hey , it 's not all bad . carly : yeah -- it 's pretty awful . todd : oh , look , court 's in session . maybe we should come back some other time . diane : [ clears throat ] todd : or not . campbell : your honor , the defendant attacked a port charles police detective and repeatedly stated that her intention was to kill him . we are charging miss coe with attempted murder and ask that special circumstances attach to the charges . mcbain : i 'm gon na see where we 're at with the case ahead of us . if he moves -- i do n't know -- shoot him . campbell : the people will offer testimony that miss coe deliberately smashed a chair to provide herself with her weapon of choice -- a wooden stake . alexis : your honor , this is an arraignment , not a trial . judge horowitz : state the charges , mr. campbell . save the grandstanding for later . campbell : the people ask that miss coe separately be charged with the additional offense of aggravated assault against a human being with intent to inflict bodily injury . judge horowitz : how do you plead , miss coe ? lucy : not guilty , your honor . tracy : oh , thank god ! lucy : because that man is not a human being ! alexis : [ sighs ] britt : yeah , sabrina was -- was great with -- with emma , but i was thinking that -- patrick : emma loves sabrina . britt : well , i was thinking -- instead of rushing emma into a babysitter , why do n't we take this time to get to know each other ? we can go to the aquarium , to a ballet -- whatever emma likes . patrick : you mean that ? britt : of course . emma 's adorable . and she needs to get to know me so it 's not a surprise when i stay the night . i will even break my no - carb rule and make pancakes . patrick : [ chuckles ] um , we need to talk about that . sabrina : although it 's true that lucy is temporarily in police custody , we still have funding from tracy quartermaine . so there is absolutely going to be a nurses ' ball . epiphany : i 'm not talking about lucy coe 's shenanigans or tracy quartermaine 's money . who am i ? the head nurse ! so , how come i do n't know anything about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina : oh , well , uh , you know , i 'm -- i 'm really not the person to ask . i think you should probably ask -- epiphany : clearly , you have had meetings , you 've raised money . you seem to have booked a venue for this event . why do n't i know anything about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina -- stalling is not going to do you any favors . why did you tell me about this nurses ' ball ? sabrina : felix told me not to tell you . felix : you look like you 're feeling a lot better . carly : oh . i do n't know about that , but the room 's not spinning . [ chuckles ] i just want to go home and shower and burn these clothes and -- i do n't know -- hide my head underneath a blanket for about 100 hours . felix : tell me you do n't mean that . carly : okay . maybe not 100 . at least 24 . i just want to forget that last night even happened . michael : you slept with my mother knowing she was drunk ? a.j . : no , no , no . michael : you said you spent the night with her . a.j . : wait a second . hang on . i 'm not trying to give you the wrong impression here . i was trying to help carly . michael : help her ? help her how exactly ? a.j . : she was drunk -- okay ? -- and she could n't drive . and so she insisted on going back to the hotel , so i followed her to some guy 's room . i do n't know . this guy apparently hurt her somehow . i 'm not clear . michael : todd manning -- starr 's father . a.j . : okay . well , i do n't know what the details are , but she grabbed a pair of scissors , and she shredded every single suit that that guy had in his closet . michael : you stood there and watched ? a.j . : what was i gon na do ? she was drunk . we both know how she feels about me . something bad could have happened . michael : you could have called me or something . a.j . : come on , michael . i did n't want you to see her that way , you know ? i just -- i - i decided to stay over . i wanted to watch out for her . i - i did what i could do . michael : after everything she 's done to you ? a.j . : michael , i did it for you . i mean , no matter how i feel about carly , she 's your mother . carly : i have a tendency to deal with one disaster by making an even bigger one . a perfect example was last night . i was angry , i went out , and i made everything worse . now i just need to take a step back and regroup . felix : really ? 'cause it sounds to me like you 're just hiding out . carly : no . nothing wrong with counting to 10 . felix : you lost me . carly : it does n't matter . look , there 's no hope for my hair or for todd 's wardrobe . but -- i need to stop and think for a minute . i need to think about what i did to get myself here and to stop it from happening again . felix : that 's one way of looking at it . carly : you have a better idea ? felix : well , if i were in your shoes -- and , by the way , those shoes are fabulous -- i would walk downstairs , get my hair fixed , put on my best dress , find that buster , and parade in front of him and let him know he did n't ruin my life . todd : you remember when you told me that carly would forgive me ? diane : well , carly is a difficult woman to predict . she can be volatile , and that 's putting it mildly . you know , jason used to pay me triple to handle carly . todd : h - hold on . if carly was married to jax , why would jason be paying you to represent carly at all ? diane : jason and carly were friends . that 's the only story i ever got . todd : carly said she was my friend . she told me she would have stood by me if i had just told her the truth . diane : she probably would have . todd : hold on . you flat - out told me that i should never tell carly anything about me hurting jason . diane : carly was in the first throes of grief . it is also never legally advisable for you to confide in someone who may be later called to testify against you . now , having said all of that , i think i may have misread carly , because for all of her faults , she 's a remarkably loyal woman . so , yes , i think she might have stood by you if you had just told her the truth . todd : now -- she tells me this now . you 're telling me this now ? there 's nothing i can do to fix it . diane : well , as long as we are telling truths , if i had set aside my professional concerns and said , `` fine , todd , tell carly everything , bare your soul , `` would you have done it ? did n't think so . lucy : he can say he 's a cop and he can pretend he 's a human being , but he is king of the vampires . tracy : good grief . alexis : what are you doing here ? mcbain : i 'm leaving . lucy : no , you 're not ! do n't you move , caleb ! alexis : his name is n't caleb ! lucy : i do n't care what he calls himself now . what did you call yourself before ? father michael morley -- a priest . and then it was stephen clay -- a rock star . same ma -- no , excuse me . same vampire . tracy : ca n't you shut her up ? ! lucy : he is a shape - shifter ! no , you do n't . judge horowitz : control your client . alexis : easier said than done , your honor . lucy : bloodsucker ! mac : lucy ! what are you doing ? ! lucy ! lucy : i swear , mac , i have to help -- [ indistinct shouting ] alexis : i am recommending that my client get a full psychiatric evaluation , and i am changing my plea to not guilty by reason of insanity ! tracy : no , no , no , no ! britt : what did i say ? patrick : no . nothing -- nothing bad . i just -- i want to make sure there 's no misunderstandings between us , okay ? like , i think you 're great . i - i really -- i really like you . i think you 're smart , you 're sexy , you 're -- you 're beautiful , and -- and i really want to keep seeing you . it 's just -- britt : okay . [ chuckles ] so far , so good . patrick : this is all new for me . i 'm trying to navigate dating and -- and doing what 's best for emma , and -- and i -- it 's hard for me to kind of look into long - range plans . and if that does n't fit into your schedule or if that 's something you do n't want , i understand that . britt : no , no , no . i - i - i get it . i 've never been a long - range kind of girl , so whatever you need . patrick : you sure ? great . so we can -- we can do this ? we can have fun one -- one day at a time ? britt : yeah , it works for me . epiphany : why would felix tell you not to discuss the nurses ' ball with me ? sabrina : oh , you know felix . he loves to create -- epiphany : yes , sabrina . and i know you , too . you are one of the worst liars i have ever met . sabrina : oh . well -- [ sighs ] epiphany : i am your supervisor . you tell me the truth right now . why did n't you tell me about the nurses ' ball ? sabrina : well , felix said -- `` she has no sense of fun . `` epiphany : i have n -- no sense of fun ? i 'm one of the most fun people that i know . sabrina : oh , you 're so fun . epiphany : wait until i get my hands on him . i 'm gon na show that boy who 's fun . sabrina : [ gasps ] ow . [ exhales sharply ] felix : honey , a woman like you should never show her hand , especially to some undeserving man . carly : you make a good point . thank you . felix : anytime . carly : how much do i owe you ? felix : sorry ? carly : you saved me from a horrible hangover . you gave me great advice . you deserve to be compensated . what do you want ? felix : a discount for the ballroom for the nurses ' ball ? carly : i can do better than that . i 'll donate it . you -- you can have it -- for nothing . felix : seriously ? carly : yeah , seriously . it 's yours . your earned it . felix : [ chuckles ] uh , can i get that in writing , you know , for the committee ? carly : yes , yes , yes . write whatever you want , and i 'll sign it . felix : you are a goddess . todd manning is a fool . carly : he is -- 'cause i was gon na be his best friend . but he blew it . and now is not the time for me to curl up and bury my head , as scraggly as it may be . michael : thank you for looking after my mother . a.j . : well , it gave me a chance to prove myself to you . michael : i knew she was hurting over this whole thing with starr 's dad and she can be reckless and act out , but she should have never pushed you to drink . a.j . : hey , look , you know , she was n't exactly her best self last night , and , uh , i think what we ought to do is just forget all about it , put our heads together , and figure out how we 're gon na get rid of tracy . lucy : you can not let him just get away , mac ! listen to me ! he 's a bloodsucker ! you ca n't just turn him loose on the town ! todd : is that who staked mcbain ? hey ! hey ! nice job ! diane : stop that . tracy : you promised me you would n't use that word . you know what 's gon na happen to me at elq ? alexis : she 's nuts . i had to use the insanity plea . tracy : so , what am i , collateral damage ? alexis : look at it this way -- at least she 's not going to jail . todd : package delivered , mcbain . you 're free to go . mcbain : and miss all the fun ? i ai n't going anywhere . todd : okay , well , try not to suck anybody 's blood during the arraignment . diane : all right . boys , boys , play nice . come on . mcbain : oh , allow me . diane : thank you . patrick : i know i sound like a broken record , but thank you , again , for listening to me and -- and understanding -- britt : you 're right . why -- why ruin a good thing ? sabrina : oh . patrick : hey , um , i was looking for you . sabrina : you were ? patrick : yeah , you , uh , you left your case at my house . sabrina : oh . thank you . britt : let 's go get some coffee . patrick : okay . diane : carly , you look , uh , different . todd : you look amazing . carly : thank you . todd : i 'm so happy you came . carly : do n't be . i only came to see you charged . diane : okay . time to focus . todd : i am focused . diane : [ sighs ] now , you listen to me . when the judge asks you how you plead , you say -- you say , `` not guilty . `` you do n't say anything else . i 'm going to handle all of the arguments . now , i 'm going to ask for bail , but , of course , they will not grant bail [ clears throat ] because -- bailiff : all rise . court is now in session . the honorable judge adam horowitz presiding . judge horowitz : you may be seated . who 's before us ? campbell : todd manning , your honor . diane : diane miller defending , your honor . judge horowitz : i see you , ms . miller . and your client -- oh , yes . mr. manning . let 's see . fraud , bribery , kidnapping . attempted escape from custody . spoliation of evidence . how do you plead , mr. manning ? todd : i am not guilty . diane : your honor , at this time , i would like to request bail -- todd : the person who did those things ... is not me . michael : look , tracy 's smart . she 's gon na find a way to distance herself from lucy . a.j . : well , she can try , but she 's not gon na convince the other shareholders . michael : i just do n't want you to be disappointed , okay ? you almost drank last night . if this thing falls through -- a.j . : i know . i know . i did n't , and i wo n't . tracy : that infernal vampire woman is ruining everything . ned , i begged her to keep her mouth shut , but , no , she shot it off , and now i have a certifiable co - c.e.o . , giving a.j . and his mini - me exactly what they need to force me -- out . a.j . : do n't stop on our account . lucy : [ sighs ] i thought the idea was to get me out on bail ! alexis : you 're way past bail . lucy : [ sighs ] felicia : alexis has arranged for you to see a doctor . lucy : i do n't -- i do n't need a doctor . just let me go , find caleb , and get rid of him . and then i 'll be fine . felicia : we 'll see you soon . mac : time to go . lucy : no ! no ! i do n't want you to . please . why are you going ?

[ cell phone rings ] michael : it 's a blocked number . it must be the police . hello ? heather : [ high - pitched voice ] michael corinthos ? michael : yeah . who 's this ? heather : somebody that wants to make sure franco pays for what he did to your mother . sam : excuse me ? franco : i want to hire you . you 're still a private investigator , right ? sam : yes , i am a p.i . , but if i never see you again , it wo n't be too soon . no way in hell would i ever work for you . franco : you were this close to taking my bone marrow for your kid , but you wo n't take my money ? silas : she said she does n't want to talk to you . why do n't you take a walk ? franco : never mind how you feel about me . you do n't got to do anything for me , but do this for carly , okay ? somebody 's got to go find her . sam : somebody -- from what i hear , michael says the police think that you 're the prime suspect in her disappearance . franco : police get it wrong all the time , okay ? and they got it wrong this time . they 're wasting their time looking at me , and i ... look , carly could be in real trouble here . silas : i ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this , but he might be right . you -- you know , he would n't be the first innocent man to be falsely accused . franco : thank you . silas : and by innocent , let 's be -- clear this up , all right ? i think you 're innocent of carly 's disappearance , but brain tumor or not , you 're not innocent of anything else in my mind . franco : noted . silas : all right . now , if your past criminal history is causing the police to overlook another suspect , well , then carly 's the only one that 's gon na pay the price . sam : [ sighs ] okay . hey , hey , not so fast . i 'm -- i 'm not saying that i believe you . not until you tell me why i should . michael : who is this ? what do you know about my mother ? carly : [ muffled shouting ] heather : the question is n't what i know , child . the question is what the police and the d.a . know . michael : w - what do you mean ? heather : i work at the pcpd . and i 'm afraid that my superiors have not been forthcoming with you . they found evidence -- a knife at the scene of the crime . you should ask the d.a . what the holdup is . yes , and then you 'll have all your answers . michael : a knife ? what -- what -- what knife ? heather : the one with franco 's fingerprints and your mother 's blood on it . michael : why should i believe you ? tell me who you are ! heather : talk to the d.a . that 's all i can say . michael : hello ? hello ? a.j . : michael , michael , what is it ? michael : i got to go . a.j . : what 's going on ? ! [ sighs ] scott : i 'm not gon na issue a warrant without a body . there is no way to tell what happened to carly . anna : oh , come on . this is n't your first rodeo . you know as well as i do that you can prosecute a suspect for murder without a body , especially when you have strong supporting evidence , which we have . scott : you got a knife ! you got blood ! anna : you are abusing your power of office because you want to protect your son . i wo n't stand for it . scott : oh , come on , come on . you and robert and his brother mac have n't abused the commissioner 's office before , wasting manpower protecting your family ? and what about that boyfriend of yours , duke lavery , huh ? how many times have you turned your back over his -- anna : he is a law - abiding citizen , unlike your son , who i think exploited a questionable medical diagnosis in order to avoid prosecution and could be no implicated in the disappearance and maybe murder of carly jacks . he needs to be off the streets . scott : well , i tell you what . why do n't you go over my head ? oh , you ca n't , 'cause i 'm the boss . anna : all right . let 's see what mayor lomax has to say about all this . heather : [ normal voice ] there . that takes care of that . you raised a good kid there , carly . he 's got a clear sense of right and wrong . hell , he even turned himself in when he was facing manslaughter charges . who does that ?

olivia : do whatever you want , honey . just do it far away from my hotel . sonny : and , uh , you know what ? do n't stress too much , 'cause i 'm sure your little sister here will let you stay with her . right , ava ? if not , you can stay at kelly 's . they got some real , real nice rooms there . julian : [ chuckles ] franco : i know i 've never given you any reason to trust me . sam : none . franco : but i think ava jerome has got something to do with carly 's disappearance . sam : what makes you say that ? franco : well , right before carly disappeared , ava threatened her . i mean , surprise , surprise . ava denies ever having done so , but ... silas : how do you know ava 's lying ? franco : you of all people should know the answer to that . ava -- ava 's capable of lying . she lied to you about kiki being my daughter for her entire lifetime . silas : what do you say we leave kiki out of it ? franco : okay . look , i know you hate me , but you got to do this for carly . from what i understand , you have a brother in common now . you 're practically family . sam : the police are looking for carly . why do n't you let them do that ? franco : you 're not gon na help me ? sam : just because i 'm investigating ava , it does n't mean i 'm gon na help you -- franco : you 're investigating ava ? sam : listen , i am not discussing this or anything else with you . we 're done here . ava : is this how you handle things , sonny ? you send your little girlfriend to harass my brother ? so much for the code of honor that people like us are supposed to operate under . sonny : are you gon na talk to me about honor after you targeted my son ? julian : this is your retaliation , huh ? hmm ? is that right , sonny ? sonny : hmm ? julian : this is it ? this is , uh , this is the best you can do ? sonny : no , it 's not the best . i 'm just having fun . can you -- can you get him out of here ? yeah . thanks . olivia : you heard the man . this way , sir . julian : you know , this is n't over . sonny : we 're done here , ava . ava : nah . i really do n't think we are . sonny : [ sighs ] franco : really ? nothing ? you 're not gon na help me out at all ? fine . you know what ? i 'm gon na go to the police department , see if i can get some satisfaction there . maybe -- maybe someone there will cooperate with me . silas : you know , i should probably , um , head into work , too . you okay ? sam : yeah . it 's just -- you know , it 's never easy seeing that guy after what he 's done to me . silas : i know . i know . hey , listen , i can be late if you want to talk about it . sam : no , no , no . it 's okay . go to work . i 've got a ton of research to do anyway . silas : yeah ? sam : mm - hmm . silas : you know , it 's interesting that he is accusing ava . if she 's the one that tried to kill nina , there 's no telling what she 's capable of . a.j . : [ groans ] [ breathing heavily ] [ slurring ] who 's there ?

[ scene_break ] nina : wow . first , you accuse charlotte of bullying aiden , now you are saying that she is a cheater ? willow : kendra 's scores have been consistent with her grades all year . charlotte 's scores were outliers . nina : [ exhales sharply ] willow : if charlotte is still struggling with history , i am more than happy to tutor her after class . nina : oh , we definitely want that . i - i mean , i definitely want my stepdaughter being tutored by the teacher who thinks she 's a cheat and a bully . that 's really helpful . [ nina scoffs ] valentin : uh , i appreciate you bringing that to our attention . just so you know , charlotte and i have been studying her history together . we , uh -- we made a game of it . we actually quiz one another . i think it 's like you said before -- she 's very intelligent and capable of lifting her test scores without cheating . thank you .

[ scene_break ] lulu : valentin and i have many differences . but for the most part , when it comes to our daughter , we agree . so if valentin says that he 's been working with her on history , he has been . it 's possible she improved . it is also possible that kendra was cheating off of charlotte 's paper , or maybe the problems they both missed confused them . willow : it 's true . yeah . i - i - i do n't know anything for certain . and even if charlotte has been cheating on her quizzes , she 's not doing it with any malicious intent . lulu : then what would be driving her ? willow : i have found that when young students cheat , they 're motivated by fear of disappointing the adults in their lives . lulu : there have been a lot of changes in charlotte 's home life . i 'm sorry about nina 's outburst . she can be hot - headed , willow : [ chuckling ] lulu : but she means well . willow : i know . i know . it 's -- it 's fine . if anything , i 'm clear that she really cares about your daughter .

[ inhales deeply ] valentin : for defending charlotte . for calling her your stepdaughter . nina : oh , that slipped out . valentin : no , no . i like that .

[ scene_break ] shiloh : i know the process can seem a little discordant from the outside ... sam : discordant ? try brutal and unfair . shiloh : your strong reaction would indicate that you 're dealing with some past trauma of your own . i mean , we 'd be more than happy to help you confront it and move on . sam : i - i 'm sorry .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : everyone who reads the newspaper has heard of the ruiz family . alexis : what were your personal dealings with my client 's family ? lorenzo : we had a minor association , which i elected to terminate . alexis : why was that ? lorenzo : negotiations fell apart . they had their own agenda and i suspected it would n't serve me well . alexis : so it was n't because you believed that manny ruiz was a violent , angry , and out - of - control man ? lorenzo : i was dealing with someone else in the family . alexis : are you saying that the mob war that broke out between the ruiz family and the corinthos organization had nothing to do with you ? lorenzo : the bad blood was started when jason morgan shot manny ruiz . alexis : ric !

! you tried to seduce him and then kill him to take his money ! heather : at least i waited till his wife died . you went after alan while monica still had a pulse . lucy : yeah ? ! well , that 's 'cause i -- loved him , sort of . i - i did . look , we stayed friends , and we had a slightly contentious divorce , but you -- you are a psycho . heather : takes one to know one . lucy : [ sighs heavily ] diane : your honor , my client , todd manning , suffers from severe p.t.s.d . , and , yes , there is precedent . when he was charged with the death of his brother -- his twin brother -- he was found not guilty by reason of insanity due to severe post - traumatic stress disorder , and this was sustained during eight years of imprisonment by his mother in a cell where he was systematically tortured -- todd : stop . diane , stop . stop . cut it out . look , i killed my mother . i killed my brother . i 've done terrible things . they 're all a matter of public record . that 's not what we 're here to talk about . when i do something terrible -- i always feel like it 's not -- really me who does the terrible things . it 's very hard for me to describe . i always have this voice in my head that tells me that i should n't do it , and is n't that the definition of insanity -- right -- having a voice inside my head ? i was in the woods -- in the middle of a storm with my ex - wife , and she 's having a baby -- my brother 's baby , my brother , who i killed -- and the baby dies in my arms . diane : it 's okay . just -- just take a moment . your honor , when -- when tea delgado 's baby died , my client was so traumatized that his stress disorder resurfaced . he did not want to cause tea delgado , his ex - wife , any further pain and suffering . tea delgado claimed the wrong baby from the start . there was no malicious intent on the part of todd manning to baby - switch . campbell : excuse me . am i hearing this correctly ? are you saying the switch happened by accident ? diane : your honor , if i may be allowed to continue ? judge horowitz : mr. campbell , i 'm granting ms . miller and her client a little leeway . that does n't mean we have a free - for - all . ms. miller ? diane : thank you , your honor . it was heather webber who took full , deliberate advantage of my client 's fragile mental condition , heather webber -- in order to pursue an aggressive agenda against samantha morgan , heather webber , who coerced my client into participating in switching the babies . campbell : your honor , heather webber is not being arraigned here . judge horowitz : yes , mr. campbell . we 're all aware of that fact . move it along , ms . miller . diane : your honor , when my client found himself imprisoned for a kidnapping he did not commit , trapped again in a jail cell as he had been for those eight long years by his mother , he snapped . his stress disorder resurfaced again . that is why he attempted to bribe detective mcbain . that is why he attempted to flee the hospital after being beaten half to death by his cellmate . he is in the grip of severe p.t.s.d . , your honor . he does not need more prison time . he needs psychiatric help . carly : i object ! ellie : whatever you just did , i felt it ! patrick : actually , ellie , i was n't touching you in that moment . ellie : you were n't ? patrick : no . spinelli : maybe it was a delayed reaction ? patrick : no . ellie : [ sighs ] i guess i just imagined it , then , or hoped i felt something . patrick : look , there 's still reason to be optimistic . sometimes it takes longer than a week to regain sensation . of course , we 'll keep an eye on you . we just got to continue to be patient . [ pager beeps ] patrick : and if there 's any other questions that you have , we 'll get a prognosis as soon as we can , okay ? ellie : okay . patrick : okay . spinelli : dr. drake is an excellent surgeon . ellie : i know . spinelli : he would n't give you false hope . ellie : [ sighs ] do n't worry . i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na cry . [ sighs ] i mean , i 'm just lucky to be alive , right ? and i have you . and i 'm not -- not -- gon na feel sorry for myself . [ crying ] maxie : ellie trout told me there are still two embryos left . britt : yes . that 's standard practice , just in case the couple wants to try again . maxie : okay . so , could n't you just , like , slip me another one and then by the time dante and lulu are back , i 'm pregnant again and they never know i lost the first baby ? dante : what 's wrong with maxie ? what did she say on the phone ? lulu : what she always says -- that she 's fine . but i know her . she 's my best friend , and i feel like she 's keeping something from me . dante : well , we are both really nervous about the baby . lulu : i 'm the one that 's nervous , and i know that i have a tendency to overreact , but she keeps finding excuses to get off the phone with me . dante : great ! that 's good ! you 're calling long - distance from turkey . she 's saving us some money . lulu : what about what happened before we left ? she called us over , and she was gon na tell us something . dante : yeah , well , she also said that it was n't urgent . lulu : but that 's because my dad called from here and we heard a gunshot and then the line went dead . she knew that we were gon na go after him , and she 's not gon na hold us up , but i 'm starting to get the feeling that she was gon na tell us something big . maxie : [ sighs ] dante and lulu have already been through so much trying to have a family . why tell them that i lost the baby if we do n't have to ? britt : maxie , i ca n't withhold that kind of information . maxie : okay , but they can still have the baby that they want and they do n't have to blame me for the first miscarriage . britt : i told you there 's no way to pinpoint a cause . the embryo may not have been viable . maxie : or it 's because i fell chasing their dog . britt : it 's very unlikely . maxie : if dante and lulu find out , it could ruin our friendship , and they might not trust me enough to try again . please , dr. westbourne ? having a child means everything to them , and i do n't want to let them down . just make me pregnant again . need a good reason to change shampoo ? dante : maybe she wants to move -- she does n't like living with ellie anymore . lulu : yeah , i guess i could see that , because she 's in love with spinelli and living with his girlfriend would be hard , but if that was the problem , why would she have wanted you there ? dante : maybe 'cause she likes me and she values my opinions . lulu : mm . dante : look -- whatever it was , clearly , maxie thought it could keep . [ men shouting in distance ] spinelli : maxie ? maxie : spinelli , h - hi . spinelli : what are you doing here ? are you okay ? maxie : me ? yes , fine . spinelli : and the baby ? maxie : i 'm just here for some check - ups . it 's normal with the surrogacy . how 's ellie ? spinelli : still has n't regained any feeling in her legs . maxie : it 's been almost a week . does that mean she 's paralyzed ? spinelli : too soon to say , but we 're hopeful . maxie : yeah , yeah . you have to be . i would go see her if it was n't so awkward . i mean -- that 's why i have n't heard from you , right -- because we slept together ? spinelli : i 've been a bit preoccupied . maxie : well , 'cause you said that it was fate and we were supposed to be together , and i 'm just wondering if that 's why you have n't called me -- because of ellie 's condition . spinelli : no , maxie . it 's not . michael : why do you need to see lucy coe ? a.j . : if tracy 's gon na boot lucy out of elq , this might be just the incentive that we need for her to come over to my side . now , look -- i have to get to her before she 's declared incompetent -- get her to sign her shares over to me while she still can . michael : okay . well , are n't you basically doing the same thing tracy was doing -- taking advantage of lucy 's mental state ? a.j . : no , no , no . i 'm giving her options . listen , once she 's declared sane , i promise i 'll treat her fairly . look , michael , i 'm gon na need you to cover for me on this , okay ? michael : [ sighing ] how ? a.j . : tracy ca n't know what i 'm doing , all right ? she ca n't know where i 'm going . so , if she says anything , you need to make something up , all right ? michael : whoa . hold on a second , a.j . i 'm the world 's worst liar . ask anybody . tracy 's gon na see right through me . a.j . : michael , between your mother and me , it 's in your dna . trust me , kid -- you can handle this . tracy : ned , the lawyers are on it , and before you say anything , yes , lucy 's vote for me as c.e.o . still stands , even after she 's -- where 's a.j . ? lucy : apart from a great appreciation for quality cosmetics , you and i have nothing in common . heather : yeah , monica always said you were a pretentious little climber . well , that does n't work in here . you see , ferncliff is the greatest equalizer . everybody 's criminally insane . they 're just trying to make the most of it . lucy : well , just speak for yourself , 'cause those doctors are gon na tell that judge that he made a huge mistake in my case . heather : yeah . when you tell them how you tried to stab detective mcvampire with a wooden stake , you 're gon na be stuck in a cell with me . oh , we 'll be sharing some anti - aging cream from coecoe cosmetics when we 're 80 ! lucy : wow ! you are really even meaner than everybody said ! heather : oh , i 'm not mean . just honest . you 're gon na be committed , and when you realize you 're stuck here , you 're gon na need a friend . that would be me . carly : your honor , i know that mr. manning is not suffering from p.t.s.d . diane : your honor , this woman is not a psychiatrist . judge horowitz : i want to hear this . are you a psychiatrist ? carly : no , but i 've spent a good deal of time with mr. manning over the last few months . i 've had a chance to observe , and i know that he is in his right mind . todd : i 'm not . carly : so , you 're saying that nothing we had was real -- that the p.t.s.d . is the reason you said and did everything ? todd : no . that 's not what i 'm saying at all . carly : so , it just comes and goes ? todd : yeah . carly : you ca n't have it both ways , todd . you have to take responsibility for your choices , good or bad , right or wrong , or you have to deny it all , including me . todd : i , uh -- no , i - i know that what we had was real . i know that . i know that i was never more together than when i was with you . i fell in love with you , carly . i know that . carly : todd , you have to admit to what you did . and you have to trust me to stand by you . everyone lies . everyone makes mistakes . but you got to own what you did . dante : you 're gon na make yourself crazy with that . lulu : i just want to text maxie . dante : what are you gon na tell her ? lulu : i do n't know -- that i 'm worried ? dante : really ? 'cause she 's at home on a couch . you 're halfway around the world in a prison . you see the irony in that , right ? lulu : i know . at least it keeps my mind off my dad . is that blood ? spinelli : i allowed myself to fall into bed with you b - because i thought that ellie had rejected me , that we were over . but i was wrong . she had every intention of honoring our rendezvous on the roof , and until she was hit by a car -- maxie : but what happened to ellie is not your fault . spinelli : she was lying in agony on the side of the road while -- i was drinking myself into a stupor , convinced that her absence could only mean that -- you and i were meant to be together . maxie : well , right , 'cause that 's what you said -- that when things got their worst , we always found each other because we 're meant to be together . spinelli : but i was mistaken . ellie does want to be with me . and that 's why i 'm -- i 'm back with her . maxie : just until she 's better , right ? i mean , like , just until she can walk again ? spinelli : i mean , of course i could never leave her in this condition -- that 's true -- but -- i 'm staying with her because i want to be with her . maxie : and not me ? you 're choosing her -- again . just say that . spinelli : i love you , maxie . i always will . but that is correct . tracy : where 's a.j . ? michael : who ? tracy : [ chuckles softly ] a.j . , your biological father , the curse of the quartermaines . he was just here . where 'd he go ? michael : uh , yeah . no , he , uh -- he was just -- um -- tracy : is this a hard question ? michael : no , it 's not a hard question . he 's -- we thought you 'd gone , so -- tracy : he left ? michael : yeah , he left . tracy : where 'd he go ? michael : i -- he went to an a.a. meeting . tracy : an a.a. meeting ? michael : yeah . he wants to stay sober and everything , so , you know -- tracy : right . michael : and it 's supposed to be anonymous , so i did n't think i should say anything . tracy : well , you 're right about that , but i do know about a.j . and his recovery . in fact , did he go to that meeting over , um , on spruce street -- that church on spruce street ? michael : yeah . yeah , he 's at that beautiful church down there . tracy : there is no church on spruce street . michael : spruce ? no , i thought you said , `` spring . `` he 's at spring street . tracy : wow . wow . for a guy with quartermaine genes , you are an appalling liar -- appalling ! he went to see lucy , did n't he ? michael : [ scoffs ] no . lucy : oh , hi . could you tell me why the doctor has -- a.j . : shh . shh . listen , we do n't have much time . lucy : a.j . ! a.j . : i came here to warn you . lucy : what are you doing here ? a.j . : tracy is trying to stab me in the back because she does not believe in vampires . lucy : oh , and you do ? a.j . : yeah . yeah , i do . carly : i want to believe in you . i want to believe in us . say you were n't crazy . todd : is n't it a little crazy -- to be with you , keep myself from you ? is n't it a little crazy to -- not be able to trust you ? [ voice breaking ] not be able to tell you my truth ? that 's crazy , right ? i 'm guilty of that . judge horowitz : mr. manning , are you changing your plea ? todd : no . i 'm a crazy person . i 'd like to plead not guilty by reason of insanity . that 's good ! spinelli : i did n't mean for this to happen . maxie : but it did , and i understand . spinelli : maxie , i -- maxie : please , spinelli . can you just -- go ? britt : maxie ? meet me in the exam room in five minutes . i 'm going to get your test results . lulu : that 's blood , right ? dante : uh , yup . lulu : and the warden confirmed that my dad was in this room when the riot broke out . dante : yes , yes . okay , yes . this was the last place there was a record of him being . lulu : so , could that be his blood and that 's why they 're not telling us anything ? dante : i do n't know , baby , okay ? i will go to the warden again , and i will squeeze the information out of him if i have to . warden : mr. falconeri ? dante : yeah , that 's right , and this is luke spencer 's daughter , my wife . warden : i apologize for the delay . we have had difficulty . lulu : do you know where my father is ? warden : yes , i do . tracy : i wish my father was alive to set you straight . he would explain to you that a.j . is fundamentally incompetent . that 's why my father never promoted him beyond v.p . in charge of paper clips . michael : okay , you know , but maybe if he did , a.j . could have proven himself . if somebody would have believed in him , maybe he would n't have screwed up as bad as he did . tracy : you know , you sound like jason before the accident . jason was a.j . 's biggest champion , and look where that got him . anyway , it 's moot . even if he gets in to see lucy , it 's not gon na change a thing . michael : are you sure ? tracy : [ laughs ] yeah . i was in the courtroom . lucy is seeing vampires . she is one episode away from a straitjacket . michael : okay , and all you can do is cheat her out of everything that you promised her ? tracy : and you think a.j . 's gon na treat her any different ? a.j . : tracy is taking advantage of you , lucy . she has got a whole fleet of attorneys that are working on ousting you from elq . lucy : she ca n't do that ! a.j . : well , actually , she can do that because there 's a sanity clause in the charter . lucy : oh , my god . i am not insane . i am just trying to prevent port charles from being taken over by caleb and his coven ! a.j . : lucy , i 'll do whatever i can to help you . lucy : okay . what 's the catch ? a.j . : it 's simple . the catch is that you have to -- you have to convince tracy that you 're not this feeble - minded , weak , crazy person . lucy : oh , my god . i am not ! these doctors here will vouch for me . a.j . : i know . i know . but listen to me . time is not on your side . you need to take back your share of elq and sign it over to me before she -- she strips you of your salary and your title , and she 'll do that before a doctor can even issue an opinion . look , i got it right here , right ? all you got to do is sign this right here and you and i will be partners . we 'll run elq , and we 'll stamp out caleb and his posse of bloodsuckers . go ahead . sign it . judge horowitz : step down , mr. manning .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i got your message . all right , now what ? never mind . nikolas , what happened ? is it true what i heard ? nikolas : yeah , lansing decided to reinstate my bail . alexis : why ? nikolas : well , zander picked a fight and tried to say i started it . i guess ric did n't buy it . alexis : well , that 's quite a turnaround , since he fought your bail with every obscure precedent that he could find . so now all of a sudden -- uh - uh . uh - uh . something 's not right here . nikolas : not really , alexis . i 'm still standing trial for murder with false evidence stacked against me . alexis : or maybe he realized that he went over the top with the bail issue , so he 's trying to show impartiality by going by the book . nikolas : let 's stop wasting time dissecting ric 's motives , ok ? i 'm getting out of here , that 's what matters . what about this fence guy , ben ? i 'm positive he 's the one who killed sam 's father . we need to find this man . alexis : i 've been following your lead with ben following sam to azure key . unfortunately , there 's a hurricane so there 's a communication problem . there might be something else to accomplish here . i heard what happened . do you want me to get you out of here ? zander : would n't that be a conflict of interest ? alexis : my interest here is seeing that justice gets done . zander : then we 're on the same page . alexis : we 're not even reading the same book , zander . i am asking you one last time as your friend to stop this before it goes any further . zander : you already know what i said , alexis . alexis : and then i 'm going to give you one last chance to let it sink in . zander , what do you think , that you 're going to put nikolas in prison and that emily 's going to be out there waiting for you ? zander : alexis , just leave me alone . alexis : it 's not going to happen . it is not going to happen because i am not going to let nikolas go to prison and even if he did , it would n't change anything because emily is not going to stop loving nikolas any more than you can apparently stop loving her . stop hurting everybody just because you 're hurt . i want you to leave them alone and i want you to stop holding that baby over ric and elizabeth 's head . just look to the future . just let the past be the past , zander . zander : you sound so sincere . it sounds like you really care about me . alexis : i do . zander : maybe , on some level , but not the one where nikolas lives . when it comes down to it and it 's me or him , you 're going to sink me . so , thanks for the advice , but no thanks .

[ scene_break ] carly : ow . [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't -- i ca n't believe you actually just admitted that . jax : what , is it like a win for you or something ? sam : i do n't know how many ways to say it , jax . nothing is going on between me and sonny . you do n't have to be so jealous . jax : look , your intentions might be pure , but sonny 's are not . sam : oh -- jax : ok ? sam : would you stop projecting your sonny stuff onto me ? i have a mind of my own and the last time i looked , i thought something was going on between us . jax : yeah , well , maybe that 's not such a good idea . sam : then why do n't you just leave ? jax : because i ca n't , ok ? believe me , i tried to , but -- but it seems to be impossible . sam : ok . now you 're getting to something i want to hear . jax : i do n't know if i can trust you , sam . i mean , you 've made me understandably wary , ok , but i -- i ca n't seem to get you out of my mind . now , i know that you 're fearless and that you 're capable -- [ jax sighs ] jax : and that you do n't need anyone but yourself . but my first instinct is always to -- to want to protect you , to -- to want to hold you and to want to be with you -- which probably makes me the biggest fool on the planet , but i do n't care . [ jax sighs ] sam : you know , that was probably the most perplexing declaration of whatever -- whatever it was that i have ever heard . jax : well , it 's the best i can do . sam : i 'll take it -- except for one thing . you called me fearless ? i 'm terrified of what i 'm feeling right now . jax : well , you 're not alone , but i 'm willing to chance whatever this is , even though i know you 'll probably take off after the treasure and the treasure after that and the next thing after that . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , do you have a minute ? zander : i got all night . consider me your captive audience . just do n't bring up anything about how i need to move on from emily or how she 's in love with another man . elizabeth : actually , i was going to mention that for you to have a prayer of being friends with emily again , maybe you should lay off the people she cares about . zander : yeah , that sounds familiar too . elizabeth : well , then maybe you ought to listen , zander . look , ric did some really terrible things to me and i thought that i would never , ever be able to forgive him . but look at us now , we 're married because he was strong enough to change . he was strong enough to let go of his hatred and his need for revenge and i ca n't help but think how good it would be for everyone concerned if you could just take a lesson from him . [ scene_break ] ric : and once the paperwork is finished , your client is free to go . alexis : thanks , that 's very generous of you . ric : you 're welcome . alexis : too generous . ric : what does it take to win with you , huh , alexis ? alexis : the truth usually does it . ric : you know what ? i do n't know where this is going , but i 'm really pressed for time . alexis : well , make time . i 'm just getting started . [ scene_break ] courtney : so if -- if cameron 's right and faith really does know that carly was in shadybrook , i mean , she could use it to her advantage in a hundred different ways . jason : you do n't have to worry ; faith 's not going to get the chance . hmm . courtney : hey , i 'm going to drive you , ok ? jason : no , no . you 're not going . courtney : jason , you 're in no condition and we have to get carly out together , ok ? come on . here . jason : all right . whew . [ scene_break ] faith : that last dose took the fight out of her . tell dr. grimes we 're speeding up that transfer i suggested . poor thing . bullets and childbirth , comas , rewired brain waves -- you must be exhausted . but do n't worry . faith is here to fix you right up with a one - way ticket for an extended vacation at ferncliff . carly : no -- faith : oh , shut up . i am sick of your whining . you should have cooperated with me when you had the chance and run off to alcazar like a good little girl . oh , i know -- it 's hard but be patient . in time , those meds you are taking will send you so far out into orbit , your fantasies will become your reality . sonny will blame alcazar , kill him , go to prison , and faith will rule happily ever after . [ faith gasps ] lorenzo : carly -- carly ? it 's me , lorenzo . i 'm going to get you out of here , but you have to trust me . can you do that ? carly ? [ scene_break ] alexis : when you kidnapped carly , it 's because you wanted her baby , right ? ric : wait , wait -- what does this have to do with anything ? alexis : well , and sadly enough , you find yourself right back where you started . i mean , even you can see that and i want you to know that on some level , i can actually understand that you want your family and you will do whatever it takes . ric : what 's your point ? alexis : well , my point is , is that elizabeth is pregnant with zander 's baby and zander has promised to sign over custody to you . and i 'm guessing that he has n't done that yet because he 's waiting for you to find nikolas guilty of cody mccall 's murder . that way , zander gets emily , you and elizabeth get to keep the baby and then my nephew -- he gets to go to prison , which is completely unacceptable to me . ric : that 's quite a theory . alexis : i 'm not finished . there 's a more likely suspect -- a jewel fence that you have n't made any attempt to look for at all . i do n't think that i have to tell you just how much trouble you are going to be in -- both professionally and personally -- if it comes out that you are tampering with evidence in order to convict an innocent man in exchange for a signature on custody papers . i do n't know why i 'm giving you a choice . i have no idea why i 'm being so , so nice to you , but you can either risk me talking to a judge , or we can make a deal . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hi . nikolas : hi . elizabeth : congratulations . i heard you 're being released -- not that you should 've been arrested in the first place . nikolas : tell that to the judge . elizabeth : i know you 'll be found innocent . nikolas : it 's not a given , liz . there 's still a lot of fabricated evidence against me . elizabeth : despite what you might think of ric , he 's only doing his job . see you around . nikolas : yeah . liz , wait . there 's -- there 's something you do n't know . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'll push for a speedy trial , you keep zander believing that nikolas will be convicted and then at the last minute , you throw the case . if you so choose , you can drop an injunction barring zander from any contact with the baby based on his police record and the fact that he 's working currently for a known mob figure . ric : i thought zander was your friend . alexis : nikolas is innocent . ric : all right . one condition , though . alexis : what 's that ? ric : do n't tell elizabeth . alexis : deal . [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , i know that zander 's stalling to sign custody of the baby over to you and ric and i just -- elizabeth : and you 're afraid that he 's going to lean on ric and make things worse for you ? i ca n't speak for zander , ok , and god only knows what he might try , but i can assure you ric would never go along with it . he 's changed , nikolas . what is it that you wanted to tell me ? nikolas : uh -- i -- i thought it might calm things down a little if -- if emily left town for a few days . so if you do n't hear from her , that 's why . elizabeth : oh . well , that 's good . it 's probably for the best . ok . well , thanks for letting me know . take care . nikolas : yeah . alexis : we 're out of here . nikolas : all right .

[ phone rings ] sonny : yeah ? stan : it 's stan . the new security system has picked up a glitch . sonny : what 's wrong with it ? stan : well , it 's saying that someone entered the house , but there 's no one here and there 's no sign of a break - in . sonny : ok , you got to get the system fixed , because the house has got to be safe by the time i bring my children home . stan : i 'll take care of it , sonny . the system will be perfect by the time you get home .

[ knock on door ] elizabeth : hey . lucky : hey . we got good news . you and connor could be out of hiding fairly soon . emily : why ? what 's going on ? lucky : i heard from my dad . he thinks he 's closing in to finding helena . elizabeth : and as soon as helena 's in custody , nikolas will be released from prison and the two of you can get on with your lives . emily : oh , god , it ca n't happen soon enough .

[ scene_break ] courtney : look , i want to apologize for what i said to sam . i had no right to go off on her like that . jason : why did you ? courtney : sam accused me of trying to sabotage hope 's adoption , and it was just so far from the truth , i guess i just went nuts . jason : do you want me and sam to raise bridget 's baby ? courtney : you know that i think you would be a wonderful father , jason . jason : ok , that 's why i asked you to meet -- meet me here . i talked to jordan baines , and -- courtney : wait . sonny 's custody lawyer ? jason : yeah . yeah , she 's the best around . courtney : you 're going to take bridget to court ? jason : no , i do n't want to ; only if there are no other options at this point . courtney : but , jason , i mean , come on , there 's no way you can win . you ca n't force through an adoption . jason : i know that , but jordan thinks we can make a case for , you know , protective custody since bridget has no way of providing anything for hope . she 's been in and out of foster homes her entire life . she has a police record . courtney : so do you , and so does sam , for that matter . jason : yeah , you 're right , and that 's why jordan told us to , you know , explore every possible alternative . she said we should find someone that bridget trusts to ask her to go through with the adoption . and that 's you , so i 'm -- courtney : jason , i tried . i did . jason : can you try again ? please ? sam carried her baby for nine months . and two weeks before the delivery , the baby died . you know ? and then bridget just shows up and gives her another baby . i do n't think sam can take losing a second child . [ scene_break ] jordan : your case for sole custody is strong , so -- sonny : yeah ? jordan : yeah . sonny : what about me and carly getting divorced ? jordan : well , since alexis and ric 's marriage has been exposed as a sham , i do n't think it 's going to matter to the judge . sonny : oh , no , no , no , no . i mean , how do you feel about it ? jordan : how i feel about it is irrelevant . i 'm here strictly on business . sonny : yeah , i know , but if you 're here strictly on business , you 'd have called , you know , instead of flying down here . jordan : ok , you know what ? i have three words for you . your master bedroom . sonny : you want a tour ? because it 's a big one . jordan : no , no , no , no , no . no , i need you to pick fabric for your duvet ? sonny : oh , yeah , right , right . let me see . oh , well , it 's a lot of stuff . it 's going to be -- can you help me out , because it 's going to -- jordan : sure , yeah , i 'm on the clock , so -- sonny : all right , let 's see . yeah . how that ? is that all right ? jordan : yeah , it 's nice , yeah , it 's soft . sonny : it 's soft . jordan : hmm . sonny : how 's that ? jordan : i like that one , too . sonny : yeah ? jordan : yeah . sonny : we need to do -- close your eyes . jordan : ok . sonny : close your eyes . now relax , all right ? jordan : yeah . sonny : tell me how this feels , like right here . jordan : ok , i 'm sorry going -- i mean , i -- i got to go . sonny : no , i know what you mean . you do n't have to go . you can stay . jordan : do you ever think of the origin of the word `` fling `` ? sonny : no . actually , no . jordan : yeah , well , i have , and it 's usually when two people become intimate and one flings the other one away -- sonny : right . jordan : and it 's a situation that i would like to avoid at all costs . sonny : maybe it 's about flinging caution to the wind . jordan : you know , just call me when you decide about the custody case .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : sam helped deliver your child . she put your -- thank you . she put your baby in your arms for the first time . she has a mother 's instincts , bridget . bridget : are you saying that i do n't ? lorenzo : on the contrary . i believe your instincts are quite strong . you did n't want to hold your daughter when she was born , not because you did n't love her , but because you knew you could n't care for her . you knew you wanted more for her . so you protected her the only way you could . bridget : i was so scared that night . i mean , i did n't know what was going to happen . but i 'm different now . i have a job . lorenzo : i 'm sure you 're doing well . but sam is in a position to provide your daughter with an extremely comfortable life . bridget : i will always be grateful for what you and sam did . but i do n't think you realize how i feel about my baby . lorenzo : perhaps not . you know , i am a parent . bridget : boy or a girl ? lorenzo : a son . diego . we met only a few months ago . ironically , his mother was about your age when he was first born . bridget : she did n't tell you that she was pregnant ? lorenzo : hmm . i think she was confused and scared , probably like you are right now . she made choices in the moment that have affected her child 's entire life . you can do better than that , bridget . think about the kind of life you want to provide your child . think about the best way to do that . maybe being a good mother means agreeing to the adoption . [ scene_break ] jason : courtney , you know i do n't want to threaten bridget . we do n't want this to be a fight . hope , this baby , deserves love and security , and i do n't want to give , you know , hope back into a situation that i know is going to be bad with a mother who ca n't possibly care for her . so this is n't just about fighting to keep hope for ourselves . now i 'm fighting for her . courtney : jason , i have been trying to change bridget 's mind ever since she first mentioned raising the baby on her own . but i have n't changed her mind , and i 'm not sure that i can . jason : well , can -- i mean , can you go home now and just try again for me ? because if this goes to court , it 's just not going to be good for anyone . courtney : i 'm on my way . sam told me that you two are engaged . congratulations . jason : thanks . courtney : you know , you deserve to be happy , jason , and i hope that you find that with sam .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : you 're not far from being a child yourself . and you 've got years ahead of you to grow and learn and make up for all the lost time you were living on the streets . but if you 're burdened with a child , it 's possible that the two of you may never have a chance to get ahead . bridget : maybe we wo n't be rich , but we can be happy . lorenzo : do you doubt for a moment that your child will be happy with jason and sam ? bridget : well , i saw them all together at their apartment . i mean , it looked like they cared for her . lorenzo : they do . and they have stability and financial independence . they can give your child every opportunity -- put her in the best schools , travel the world , europe , asia . bridget : yeah . i guess that would be nice , like i was giving her something that i never had . lorenzo : that could be a source of great comfort for you , knowing that the decision you made could help your daughter realize her full potential . [ door opens ] courtney : what are you doing in my house ? [ scene_break ] carly : lorenzo is not against you on this . he thinks the baby should be with you and sam . jason : carly , he 's trying to score points with you . carly : so what if he is ? really , bridget trusts him . he 's the one who helped deliver her baby , for god 's sake . maybe he can get through to her . jason : ok , no , i know you mean well with me . you always do , ok ? but bridget is living with courtney . she 's not going to want to see alcazar . get him on the phone and tell him to leave it alone . carly : fine . ok . do what you want , but you know what ? this could have worked . it really could have worked . jason : yeah , and one more thing . next time you want to help me , do n't . [ scene_break ] courtney : this man is dangerous , bridget . you should have never let him in the house . lorenzo : i heard bridget needed help making a big decision . i 'm here to offer my assistance . bridget : he was just telling me that -- courtney : never mind . it does n't matter , ok ? look , your friend mr. alcazar is a professional criminal . he 's dangerous and vicious , and there 's no reason you should listen to him . [ phone rings ] lorenzo : if you could calm down for a moment , we could discuss this more rationally . courtney : you want me to calm down ? get the hell out of my house . lorenzo : bridget , i wish you all the best . bridget : i 'm sorry , courtney . i -- courtney : look , it 's ok . all right ? i mean , there 's no way for you to know what kind of man he really is . bridget : the man delivered my baby . i mean , he seems so kind and sincere . courtney : all right , bridget , listen . any help that man gave you was part of an agenda . lorenzo alcazar thinks about himself and only himself . so whatever he told you , you need to forget about it and do n't ever think about it again , all right ? [ scene_break ] jordan : have you figured out the glitch in the security system ? stan : yeah , i should have it tracked pretty soon . jordan : because sonny is understandably anxious about the system being installed and running perfectly before he brings his kids home . stan : i know , he already told me , and everything will be up and running when he 's ready to move in .

[ scene_break ] emily : lucky bought us everything we could need . oh god , it was good to get out of the house for a while -- what have you done ? connor : you like it ? i found the strawberries in the refrigerator , but i think they 're still good . emily : this is exactly what nikolas described in his letter . you took it out of my purse , and you read it . connor : look , i did n't read the letter , all right ? emily : so , this is all a coincidence ? the candles ? the strawberries ? the -- do you honestly expect me to believe that ? connor : i expect you to go with it .

[ scene_break ] robin : i 'm a fraud . patrick : do tell . robin : well , i 'm trying to give you all this advice , but i really do n't have a clue . all i know is there has to be something more than sleeping on an air mattress for a month . patrick : hey , do n't look at me . this is the first time i 've ever done this committed relationship thing . robin : i really wish you had n't bought all this stuff . patrick : okay , you bought this couch first . you had it delivered without telling me -- you know what most guys would do in that situation ? robin : guys like pete ? patrick : guys like me six months ago , but my head did n't explode . i liked the damn couch . robin : i still do n't get why you returned it . patrick : it 's like vitamins . you made it sound like it was good for me -- i do n't work that way . why did you buy it ? robin : because i thought you needed it , but i overstepped . and i already said , i should n't tell you how to live . patrick : or where to put my ottoman , but you always do . robin : and you always remind me . [ robin sighs ] patrick : i seriously can not believe we 're fighting about furniture here . robin : we 're not fighting about furniture . patrick : actually , yes , we are . you see that table over there ? i got this on the curb the day i moved in ? robin : that 's someone garbage ? patrick : yeah . it 's a perfectly good table and every time you 're here , you put it over here . when you leave , i put it back . robin : because it looks better over there . patrick : that 's your opinion . robin : well , then if it bugged you so much , why did n't you say anything ? patrick : because i figured at some point , you 'd get the hint . robin : oh , so i 'm supposed to read your mind now ? you know what ? i can not deal with you when you 're like this . patrick : like what ? robin : ugh , like nothing , okay ? it 's your apartment . put everything wherever you want it -- and i mean wherever . [ door slams ] [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] elizabeth : i ca n't keep lucky out of this baby 's life . jason : hey , no doubt , you always put your kids ahead of anyone else . but it just -- you know , it seems to me that the kids are at their happiest when their parents are happy . elizabeth : you 're right . how do you know that ? jason : well , you know , michael makes a lot of noise about wanting his mom and dad together , but the truth is his hardest times were when sonny and carly were together , fighting and unhappy . hey , look , if you -- if you want to spend time with lucky because it makes you feel good about yourself , you need to do that . but if you sacrifice your happiness , eventually your kids will pay the price . elizabeth : have you looked in the mirror lately ? you 're constantly sacrificing your happiness for those you care about . i mean , think about it . if you lived your life only thinking about yourself , where do you think you 'd be now ? [ scene_break ] james : sonny corinthos . man : i 've heard the name . james : there 's a lot of activity in -- in and out of the coffee shop . he uses this entrance there to get into his office . there 's a chance he 'll try and jeopardize the shipment . you know what to do . man : done it a hundred times . james : do n't make any mistakes . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're in over your head ; maybe you 've spread yourself too thin . now everybody 's riding on a very big shipment , the one that you hope will get you in the black again . here 's your dilemma . i 'm going to take that shipment -- that 's a given . but it does not have to be a total loss for you if you agree to a smooth transition of all your local assets to me . i will guarantee that you will leave here with enough funding to relocate to another town . lorenzo : you know , not that i would n't love to see you pay with your life , but i 'm going to give you a heads - up . you 're going to owe me . yeah , there 's a shipment coming in . and it 's bigger than you and me and it 's worth more than our businesses combined . so you have two options . you can stay out of the way and let this go down the way it 's supposed to or you can get involved and get killed . you decide .

[ robin sighs ] robin : patrick sent back the couch that i bought him -- which i was totally fine with . but then it showed up again today , with enough accent pieces to fill the entire apartment . lainey : well , that 's just terrible . i once knew a guy who had a completely furnished apartment and i could n't get away fast enough . robin : i 'm serious . lainey : i know -- that 's what scares me . robin : patrick bought all that stuff because he wants to make me happy . lainey : and you do n't want to be happy ? robin : come on , lainey , you 're a shrink , you 're smart . lainey : oh -- robin : you 're supposed to be able to uncover all the subtext and all of the unconscious motivation . lainey : hmm . robin : am i the only one here that smells a setup ?

[ scene_break ] jason : ric dropped the charges ? sonny : ric 's going to use this alcazar shooting to the bitter end , because he 's got no case . so he has me sitting there through this pretrial conference , while he 's throwing a tantrum about his , you know , custody hearing with alexis . he 's trying to use me to prove that she 's an unfit mother . jason : oh , because he 's such a standup guy , right ? sonny : yeah , exactly , but you know what ? something ric said got me thinking . so i went to go see alcazar . jason : you -- you went alone to see -- sonny : believe me ; he 's in no shape to try to kill me . i just wanted to make sure why he came in here and tried to shoot me . jason : maybe there was someone else he had to protect -- you know , skye and their new baby ? or maybe he needed to get you out of the way for something bigger . sonny : i 'm thinking it 's one of those shipments of his that we jumped , right ? but i 'm thinking , like , how ? why , right ? he says it 's a shipment , a big shipment , coming in soon . and then he says if we get in the way , it 's going to get us killed . [ scene_break ] robin : this is all a test . patrick wants to see how demanding and clingy i get so he has a great excuse to break up with me . lainey : patrick loves you . robin : yeah , and that scares the hell out of him . but do you know what ? i do n't really blame him . i mean , i practically harassed him into leasing that apartment , and then i bought a couch for him -- which , granted , is gorgeous , but that 's totally subjective on my part . and , really , would i want some guy trying to run my life and buying furniture for me -- even if it was perfect ? no , i do n't think so . so you know what ? i do n't blame him for trying to push me away . i 'm like -- vitamins . lainey : hmm ? robin : never mind . lainey : okay , you could be projecting your own fear onto patrick . robin : oh , do n't go all shrink on me . lainey : okay , fine . well , maybe it 's not psychological . maybe you suffered some kind of head trauma that makes you say really dumb things . robin : well , thanks for the support . lainey : anytime . and , by the way -- [ robin sighs ] lainey : maybe you should keep old sigmund freud in mind -- sometimes a couch is just a couch .

[ a few lines missing ] olivia : i 'm not upset ! sonny : then who 's being dismissive now ? right ? olivia : do n't change the subject . sonny : no , i just do n't want you to worry about me . because so far , look , i have managed to stay out of prison . and if the cops are on my back , then that 's the way it is . i 'll handle it . olivia : my god , you are so arrogant . sonny : honestly , look ... the cops do n't have enough to pin claudia 's murder on me . i promise you .

[ dance music plays ] [ laughter ] [ indistinct chatter ] [ scene_break ] sam : franco said my mother killed tom baker ? elizabeth : okay , franco told kiki , who told me -- although he never referred to your mother by name . sam : ugh ! okay , so this is all coming third - hand from kiki . elizabeth : franco told kiki the only way he could clear his name is by turning in the real killer , but he would n't do that , because the woman in question is someone he knows . and he hurt someone she loves very badly in the past , and he does n't want to bring any more pain to that family . sam : okay , so from all that , you just chose my mother ? why not one of my sisters or julian or my brother danny ? he 's old enough to hold a knife . why do n't you blame him ? elizabeth : i saw your mom at gh the other day , and she walked right past me in a complete fog . it was clear she had been crying , like she did n't have a clue . sam : okay , so what ? ! she was crying . what does that mean ? elizabeth : sam , listen to me . i am not making this up . franco is protecting your mother , and now he 's disappeared , and you need to help him . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , ava , you do n't think i can stay sober ? ava : no , i do n't . alexis : why is that ? ava : julian 's still living here , right ? alexis : so ? ava : so that 's how i know . julian still talks about being in love with you . his goal is to restore you to the woman you were before he drove you to drink . but you and i ... we know the truth , right ? you 're playing him for a fool . i mean , sure , you have to live with julian . but what you get in return , it 's so very important . you get his silence about your drinking . so everything that julian is doing here , living here , covering for you , twisting your arm into sobriety , it 's just his form of enabling . [ scene_break ] julian : you are right , though . jason is close to figuring out your identity . but killing him is n't gon na preserve your anonymity . in fact , it 's only gon na expedite how quickly you get caught . and jason is n't flying solo . and his partner ... is in - laws with the police commissioner , and it 's a good bet he 's keeping her in the loop , as is jason with sonny . so if we take out jason , that 's only gon na prove to everybody that he was on the right track . so if the police do n't find you , trust me -- sonny will . olivia : but sonny will be in prison soon . julian : i would n't be so sure about that . see , uh , sonny 's beat a lot of charges over the years , and it 's a pretty easy bet that he 's gon na beat this one . even if he does n't , he has a long reach , even from pentonville . so do you really want to make enemies with sonny corinthos ? olivia : what 's the alternative ? julian : well , you pin the car bomb on someone else . that way , curtis and jason have the resolution they need , and the police and sonny are off your scent . olivia : who did you have in mind ? [ scene_break ] anna : oh , my gosh . you are a much better dancer than your brother . mac : well , you 're not the first person to tell me that . anna : [ chuckles ] felicia : so , anna tells me that you 're an archeologist . andré : um , it 's a hobby . i 'm an amateur . felicia : oh . well , i have a story for you about an aztec treasure .

[ grunts ] valentin : what did you say to me ? what did you say about my little girl ? ! i 'm sick of your preaching , father . i 'm sick of your whining , and i 'm sick of you ! do n't ever talk about my daughter . do n't mention her name . you are nothing to her . you got me ? just nod . just nod . nathan : [ coughs ] anna : what are you doing ? ! get off him ! get off him ! you bastard ! you 're such a vicious thug ! he 's a good man ! you disgust me . valentin : yeah . th - that 's what you 've always s - s - said about me !

[ scene_break ] sam : will you listen to yourself ? you 're so desperate to be with franco , you 'll believe any lie that he feeds you . elizabeth : if you would just consider the possibility -- sam : my mom did not murder a man that she did n't know . why do n't you consider the possibility that franco is telling you this to throw suspicion off himself ? elizabeth : do you know for a fact that your mother did n't know tom ? sam : i read about this online . i know that tom baker was murdered outside a dive bar . and i know that my mom is n't gon na murder some stranger outside of a dive bar . it 's not her . i know her . elizabeth : you 're wrong . you do n't know her at all . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know , ava , living with your brother monitoring my every move is no day at the beach . ava : ah . it 's still better than monitoring from your daughters , is n't it ? alexis : [ sighs ] ava : they 're all that really matters . and who knows what might come to pass if they found out what you 've been up to . and , sooner or later , they 're gon na make you choose -- the booze or them . alexis : i 've made my choice . ava : hmm . it 's still so easy to unmake . 'cause you know . you know deep down that the longer julian keeps your drinking a secret , the longer you have to perfect your tricks . alexis : what tricks ? ava : new and innovative ways to drink and get away with it . you 're not ready for sobriety , because your secrets are still safe . and as long as they are ... the drinking will always be an option for you . [ scene_break ] olivia : seems you 've thought of everything . julian : so you 're gon na give your blessing to my plan ? olivia : it better work . julian : i know . or it 's my head . olivia : no . not yours . julian : yeah , i get it . look , liv . i promise you . this will work . olivia : it 's interesting the lengths that you 'll go to for jason morgan . julian : well , i told you , my daughter loves jason . and i 've done enough to hurt sam . olivia : i can see you really love your children and that you would do anything for them . julian : [ sighs ] olivia : i wish i knew what that felt like . julian : i 'm sorry that things worked out for you the way they did . you know , i know you feel cheated . olivia : i was cheated . i was cheated out of love , having my own family . everything that you got for yourself while i was on the other side of the world in exile . julian : [ sighs ] hey . hey , you can still have those things . there 's still time . olivia : [ exhales sharply ] maybe . there 's far less time for the people who screwed me over and way past time for those people to pay for what they 've done . i am now the queen of the jerome family . and from now on , i 'm calling the shots .

[ scene_break ] skye : what kind of a monster are you ? throwing a hurt , confused 17-year - old out to the street ? and why , tracy , hmm ? out of spite ? fear ? lulu was n't doing anything to hurt you . tracy : she was about to -- with your help . i heard the two of you plotting to take me down . `` as if you could . skye : all right . this is n't about you or me , or even luke . this is about a young girl you 've left to the whims of fate . have you even considered what kind of harm could come to lulu out there on her own in the streets ? tracy : instead of wasting your time worrying about lulu , why do n't you save a little bit of that compassion for all the people she 's about to mow down ? skye : i know why you threw lulu out . you 're hoping that luke will hear his little girl 's out on the streets , and he 'll come out of hiding to get her back . [ scene_break ] jesse : you and i know what really happened . frank figured out you were gay . he baited you to take a ride with him , and when you got near the park , he turned on you and he beat you into the ground . that 's a hate crime . he should n't get away with it . no , frank 's the one that should go to jail , not you . help yourself out , lucas . admit you 're gay , and tell what really happened . [ scene_break ] lucky : i understand this is your second mix - up with lucas . you got the best of him the other time ? frank : what do you know about it ? lucky : i 'm just trying to piece it all together . sounded like to me that you 're the one who started all this . frank : that guy is a queer , ok ? i was being nice giving him a ride , and then the minute we get in the car , he comes on to me . [ scene_break ] alexis : then you admit that you committed those crimes ? manny : all of them . without question . but it horrifies me to think of what i did . alexis : do you believe that you 're capable of murder now ? manny : no . alexis : stalking ? manny : no . alexis : sexual assault ? manny : never . alexis : when did you first notice a change in your personality ? manny : after i woke up from the operation . alexis : you see , this is exactly the same thing as jason morgan . he started out as a mild - mannered , gentle man . he suffered brain trauma , became aggressive . he 's now a mob enforcer . john : your honor , i 'm going to have to object to that . judge : sustained . alexis : mr. ruiz , how do you feel about the crimes you committed ? manny : horrible . but i 'm glad that there was a medical reason and that i 'm not this irredeemable person . sam : liar ! judge : ms. mccall , take your seat . sam : am i the only one in this room with a brain , who has eyes ? this guy is playing all of you ! ca n't you see that ? judge : remove her . jason : sam , just calm down . sam : if manny walks out of here , i hope you 're the first person he goes after . [ scene_break ] skye : it 's driving you crazy that luke took off . you thought this constant game of one - upmanship would be enough to keep him around , keep him interested . lord knows you ca n't do it any other way . tracy : do n't be so smug . he did n't stick around for you , either . skye : there 's no reason to . i finally came to my senses and realized i do n't want luke anymore . tracy : uh - huh . what you realize is that luke 's love for you -- such as it is -- is n't compelling enough to make him change . he 's a danger junkie , easily distracted , apt to disappear at a moment 's notice . i will never understand it . what makes women fall in love with men they want to change ? skye : i do n't want to change luke . but i do n't want to change myself for him , either . i need more than luke can give me , and somewhere down the line when i was n't even looking , i realized that was n't good enough for me . i need to be chosen , to come first . i deserve that much . tracy : bully for you . skye : look -- tracy : ooh ! skye : you and i are adults . what we want or expect is for us to either come to terms with or not . but lulu is the one who needs to be considered here . now , if you 're too much of a cold - hearted bitch to reconsider because it 's the right thing to do , then think about how throwing lulu out on the streets is going to impact you . if luke finds out that something has happened to his little girl because of what you did , he might just kill you for real .

[ bobbie laughs ] mike : but you know , i ca n't help but wonder how much confusion that i might 've contributed by leaving courtney and her mom in the first place . bobbie : well , i 've stayed awake many a night thinking pretty much the same thing . you know i gave carly up when she was born . lord knows she has her share of issues . b.j . was taken away from me much too soon . and so i feel as if i 've been overcompensating with lucas , because it 's my last chance to get this whole parenting thing right . mike : hmm . well , i 'd say that you 've made it . lucas is a great kid . bobbie : oh , yeah , he is , he is , but it 's just lately -- mike : what ? bobbie : i do n't know , i feel like he 's pulling away from me . mike : well , you know , i 'd worry if he did n't . bobbie : you want to know the truth ? i am worried , because lucas is isolated , you know ? i mean , he does n't even have a girlfriend -- at least not one that i can see . and if he does , he certainly does n't want me to meet her , which causes deeper concerns . and he did n't come home last night . and so i 'm worried that he could be getting mixed up with the wrong crowd . mike : you know , bobbie , maybe -- maybe you 're overreacting . i mean , it sounds pretty normal to me -- adolescence , boys becoming men -- all that . bobbie : hmm , yeah , i know . ah , you 're probably right . i mean , you know , someday -- maybe even soon -- lucas is going to meet a woman and she 's going to be the first woman in his life , and then he 'll get married and -- and you and i will be showing off our grandkids to each other . [ mike laughs ] [ scene_break ] maxie : this is like the worst - kept secret in town . you guys know lucas is gay , i know , jesse knows . what 's the big deal ? georgie : lucas ' friends are not the problem . it 's the people that will judge him and tell him it 's wrong to be who he is . maxie : ok , who cares about them ? dillon : uh -- lucas , obviously . maxie : i just could n't keep a huge part of myself a secret because i was afraid of what some strangers might say . dillon : or do . [ scene_break ] lucky : we 're family . i 'm trying to help you here , but you 're not giving me much to work with . if i 'm to believe you , you walked into jake 's and you beat this guy up out of the blue . then i hear from jesse that frank beat you up first , but so far , i do n't hear why . now i have frank saying that you 're gay and accuses you of hitting on him . lucas : he 's lying . i never touched him . lucky : ok , then what was the fight about ? lucas : a pool game . i thought he was cheating , i got mad . we mixed it up and frank got the best of me . i went back to settle the score , end of story . jesse : and you 're sticking to it ? lucas : yep . lucky : that means you 're going to be booked on assault charges . [ scene_break ] jason : what happened to not letting your hatred for manny rule your life ? sam : you do n't know what happened . manny -- he 's faking the whole thing . i set him up . jason : what , you set him up ? what are you saying ? sam : yes , i went into the holding room , i had my phone on record . [ scene_break ] manny : i was just sitting there when sam mccall came in . she ripped her blouse , started screaming and crying for help , and i did n't know what to do . i was just -- you know , i was in shock . [ scene_break ] sam : manny is fast . he caught me off - guard . come on , you know how arrogant he is . i got him to admit that he was faking the whole thing . and then he was like -- he was groping me and he felt my phone in my pocket . he pushed me up against the wall , he ripped my shirt open . thank god ric and alexis came in when they did , because god knows what would 've happened . [ scene_break ] alexis : what do you think would 've happened if ric and i had n't come in the room ? manny : i do n't know . i think sam was just trying to make me angry so i would attack her so she could say that i had n't changed . i mean , it was awful seeing the hate in her eyes , but maybe the person i -- i used to be deserved it . alexis : which is exactly the point , is n't it ? that the person that you used to be -- that man would 've had a violent reaction . manny : i would say so . alexis : would you say that the person that you need to be would 've used the opportunity to escape when there was an attack on the jail transfer van ? manny : that , too . alexis : what did you do in the holding room with sam ? manny : nothing . that must be why she got so angry . or maybe she heard you and mr. lansing coming , so she smashed the phone because she knew nothing was on it to incriminate me . alexis : and she blamed you ? [ scene_break ] sam : manny actually blamed me and , of course , ric and alexis believed him . jason : sam , what were you thinking , going in there ? sam : what was i thinking ? jason : yes . sam : jason , i was scared to death . i 'm sick of his lies . i did n't know where you were . i did n't know what to do . jason : i 'm sorry . i thought they 'd be doing jury selection still . sam : yeah , so did i . but alexis -- she had the trial pushed up and she 's pulling every trick in the book right now .

[ scene_break ] sam : alexis is going to get manny acquitted . he is going to walk out of this courthouse and come after every single one of us unless someone does something to stop him first .

[ jason sighs ] courtney : what if he 's taken her out of the country again ? jason : alcazar is not going anywhere . his niece is living with him here in port charles and i 'm pretty sure he 'll be contacting her soon . courtney : if you knew where alcazar had taken carly , would you even go get her ? jason : i really think carly would n't want me to . courtney : jason , carly had herself committed so that she would stop thinking about alcazar . come on , carly loves sonny , you know , and she has done everything she can to try to keep her family together . i mean , whatever else is going on , carly is loyal to sonny . she could n't turn her back on him any more than i could turn my back on you . jason : if you really feel that way , why 'd you let brian into your life ? [ scene_break ] lorenzo : we did n't sleep together . carly : i remember kissing you . oh god , was that real or did i imagine that ? lorenzo : that part was real . carly : then we were lying in this bed together . lorenzo : i was taking care of you . we put you in a bath to get the drugs out of your system . you were too weak to walk , so i carried you to the bed to put you to sleep . i was n't taking advantage of you , carly , i swear . you kissed me and i responded . carly : so what -- what happened ? lorenzo : you told me you loved me . it was everything i 'd ever been dreaming i could hear , but it became obvious that you were n't thinking clearly . one minute we kissed , the next minute you were terrified . then you , uh , asked me to leave you alone . you begged . asked me to get out of your head . carly : i do n't remember any of this . lorenzo : you were speaking from the heart , carly . i realized how badly i 've hurt you so i promised to let go and i love you enough to keep that promise . [ scene_break ] nikolas : as far as i know , ric 's just doing his job . elizabeth : i hope to god that 's true . nikolas : he 's got a lot to look forward to . i do n't think he 'd risk throwing it all away by lying to you . [ elizabeth sighs ] elizabeth : that 's just it -- he would do just about anything to protect me and the baby , and maybe that includes being blackmailed into helping zander . nikolas : look , zander would love seeing me go to prison , but that has nothing to do with ric . he -- he blames me for emily leaving him and he 's determined to make me pay however he can . elizabeth : i do n't know why i ever got involved with him . should 've just gone home with ric that night . nikolas : elizabeth , you are pregnant with a child that you and ric both want and the best thing you can do for your baby is to keep it away from zander . elizabeth : but what if i ca n't ? nikolas : you find a way . destructive people like zander can do a lot of damage to a child . elizabeth : i guess you would know , huh ? nikolas : look , you ca n't let zander stake a claim to your child . that -- that 's important . now is the time to do whatever it takes .

[ scene_break ] maxie : georgie , georgie , i have a brilliant idea . georgie : i do n't think i want to hear it . maxie : look , nobody saw this composite photo , right ? georgie : right . maxie : he 's just a guy we made up and he looks just like a total model , so why do n't we just hire a model to play tom ? georgie : hire a guy to take me to a dance ? i 'm not that pathetic . maxie : yeah , well , it 's that or you admit to the entire school that you made this guy up . hire a model or total humiliation . you take your pick . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you take care of yourself , ok ? elizabeth : i 'll do my best . thank you for understanding . ric : hi . elizabeth : hey . ric : what did he want ? elizabeth : well , i -- i asked nikolas if you were framing him . ric : well , you know , nikolas is desperate . he 'll say anything . elizabeth : why are you assuming he said yes ? ric : well , he -- he 's desperate to prove his innocence . elizabeth : apparently , not desperate enough to attack you . nikolas told me to trust you , that you 're only doing your job . i ca n't imagine why he would cover for a man who 's trying to convict him for murder , but he did . did n't he , ric ? ric : you 're right . i am framing nikolas so that zander will give up the baby .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : nikolas is one of my best friends . how could you frame him for murder ? ric : i did n't have a choice . elizabeth : oh , yes , yes , yes , you did , you did . ric : zander said he would relinquish his rights to the baby if i got nikolas convicted of murder . i needed that signature , elizabeth , all right ? i 've been stringing him along . elizabeth : oh god , i ca n't believe i 'm hearing this . ric : look , zander 's trying to hold the paternity of his child over our heads for the rest of our lives . is that what you want ? elizabeth : no , god no , of course not . but nothing justifies sending nikolas to jail for murder ! ric : i 'm not going to let that happen . elizabeth : how can i trust you after what you just did ? you know , i could never be happy knowing that we had done something terrible to get the family we want , but you could . you could because it 's always been the same for you -- the end justifies the means . ric : no , that 's not true . listen to me , i figured out a way to cover for nikolas , ok ? elizabeth : you know , i do n't want to hear how you intend to lie , coerce , maneuver . ric : no , you -- elizabeth : this is -- this is the side of you that i 'm afraid of , ric . this is the side that i never wanted to see again . ric : elizabeth , you need to listen -- elizabeth : do n't touch me .

[ scene_break ] robin : i know you have your own reasons for wanting to work in the aids wing , but the fact that you volunteered , it means a lot to me . not that many doctors would take on so much . i mean , especially just after moving here . terrell : it 's a good program . you know , i 'm happy to help keep it alive . that 's the whole point , right ? robin : mm - hmm . terrell : and besides , like you said , i 'm new in town , do n't know a soul outside this place . what else am i gon na do around here but work ? [ scene_break ] lisa : robin sure seems happy now that terrell 's on staff . nothing like a common bond to make fast friends , is there ? [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] robin : the wing was built so people could come forward and get treatment without feeling ashamed or hopeless . terrell : stone would be very proud . i mean , who would n't be ? robin : everyone thinks that aids is a good cause to support , but it 's not as personal as it is to me . or to you . terrell : yeah , ricky was my boy growing up . even before we kind of lost touch , i do n't know , it 's like , uh , when he died , a piece of me died , too , you know ? robin : i have to say , it 's really nice to talk to someone who understands . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so how long has aiden been sick ? elizabeth : he 's been really fussy for a couple days . and he 's not sleeping . i thought he might be getting a tooth , but i saw him pulling at his ear , and , you know , i just want to get him checked out . nikolas : yeah , well , i 'm glad you made the appointment . better safe than sorry . brook lynn : well , you do n't need to see a doctor to explain why aiden 's not sleeping . i mean , babies need a routine , and you keep interrupting his routine to use him as a tool to manipulate situations and as an excuse to show up here without a good reason . elizabeth : i just thought nikolas would want to know that his baby 's not feeling well . nikolas : and i appreciate that . thank you . brook lynn : yeah , well the good news is that you do n't really have too worry too much , nikolas , because she made up this whole ear infection thing to ruin our date . so ... [ scene_break ] terrell : i spent some time touring the aids wing earlier . it 's very impressive . i mean , how many guys can say their high school girlfriends remember their name , let alone dedicating an entire hospital wing to their memory ? robin : oh , it 's not as noble as it sounds . and the truth is , i just do n't want my daughter to see me go through what i saw stone go through . so any research i do or help that i give is really just a gift to me and emma . but you , you 're doing it for purely selfless reasons . to honor your friend ricky . terrell : hey , do n't go breaking out the pedestal just yet . i 'm no saint . far from it . at the end of the day , why do n't i settle for making you smile ? [ robin laughs ] [ scene_break ] lisa : huh . i have n't seen robin this giddy , well , ever . patrick : give it up , lisa . it 's not gon na work . lisa : what ? patrick : you 're trying to make me jealous of , um , dr. jackson . lisa : well , you 're doing that all on your own . not that i can blame you . i mean , it 's easy to see why robin would be attracted to him . he 's just like you used to be -- fun and charming and cocky . you know , before you became mr. misery . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i did n't mean to ruin your date . i can take aiden to the pediatrician all by myself and i 'll call you and let you know what the doctor said . nikolas : no , that 's not necessary . i 'm coming with you . elizabeth : really , it 's okay . nikolas : no , no , it 's not . look , i 'm sorry that our plans got canceled , but my son comes first . brook lynn : and he should . and she knows that he does , which is why she 's using aiden to manipulate you . nikolas : look , he 's sick . she has a right to be concerned . brook lynn : she 's a nurse . she has two other kids . this is not the first ear infection she 's ever had to deal with . elizabeth : you 're right , it 's not . and if aiden is anything like half the kids i treat , this ear infection could turn into a chronic problem . i 'd rather get it under control now before i have to put tubes in his ears . brook lynn : you 're absolutely repulsive . can you really not see what she 's doing here ? nikolas : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry , i have to go . [ scene_break ] molly : in science class , we 're studying neurotransmitters , how messages are sent to different parts of the brain and what happens when there 's an imbalance . mr. jensen , my teacher , asked us to do a paper on a mood disorder . i picked bipolar disorder because i knew you had it and wanted to learn more . then when i started doing my research , i found out that bipolar disorder can run in families . and that made me wonder . i mean , you are my uncle . sonny : yeah . project or not , you know i 'm always here for you if you need me , right ? and if you 're like me ... you can get help . there 's medication for the mood swings . what do you call that ? what did you say before ? molly : neurotransmitters ? sonny : yeah , you keep those , you know , in balance . and , uh ... [ sighs ] feeling angry and sad , look , you know , that does n't mean you 're sick . because , you know , everybody feels that sometimes . what you do n't want to do is what i told you before , you ca n't let all your feelings , bottle them up inside . 'cause you got ta talk to somebody -- like your mom , kristina , sam . you can talk to me . we 're all here to help . molly : thank you . but what if there 's no one around to talk to ? is there anything else that helps calm you down ? sonny : well , you know , i mean , i , uh , i like to think about the good things in my life . my kids and getting married soon . molly : i ca n't wait for your wedding . february 18 , right ? sonny : yes , yeah , that 's the plan . molly : it 's gon na be so romantic , witnessing two people pledge their love after overcoming so many obstacles . sonny : it 's been a long time coming . molly : i know . and thank you for letting me be a part of it . sonny : you ca n't have a wedding without your family there . [ scene_break ] brenda : you 've always protected me . you know , even back in new york when we were strangers and you had no reason to . you still just did it . you do n't need to protect me from sonny . i know what i 'm getting myself into . dante : you could get hurt , brenda . even killed . that 's what happens to people who are close to sonny . ask michael . ask kristina . brenda : dante , just like we discussed the other day , remember ? if you could just put your feelings aside for just this one day , please ? dante : i just -- i want you to be happy . brenda : yeah , and i want you to be happy , too . listen , maybe i can ... fix this with lulu somehow . dante : it 's a little late for that . i should n't have waited so long to tell her the truth . brenda : she only knows about aleksander , right ? i mean , obviously you did n't tell her about the baby ? [ scene_break ] claire : well , that 's great . you got a pen ready . 'cause i got some paperwork from diane 's firm . it 's not going to take very long . just a few clauses . it sets up the trust for michael and morgan . carly : you 're working on sonny 's legal team now ? claire : come on . just go ahead . go ahead and say it . you think i 'm a pathetic doormat that tanked my career , that i 'm clinging to any chance i can get to see sonny , even though he 's moved on , clearly . and i 'm loitering around in the shadows just carrying that torch for him , right ? keeping it warm . well , i have to be the dumbest one yet , right , that sonny 's left by the wayside ? carly : i think it 's brilliant . you 've positioned yourself perfectly . claire : for what ? carly : you do n't know brenda . or sonny , really . they 're never gon na last . bide your time . that marriage is gon na be over so fast . claire : you seem to be pretty sure of yourself . carly : yeah . brenda and sonny never last long and sonny 's gon na need a warm , soft place to land . claire : oh . and i 'm it ? carly : the only problem you guys had was your conflict of interest , and now you 're on the same side , there 's nothing to stand in your way . claire : oh , nothing but sonny 's unabiding love for brenda . carly : it 's gon na take more than love to make that marriage last . that marriage is gon na be over before it starts . claire : for a woman who claims to be done with sonny , you sure spend a lot of time directing emotional traffic around him . carly : i love sonny . always will . there 's nothing i would n't do to protect him . claire : so , in this instance , what would you be protecting sonny from , exactly ? the woman who means more to him than anything else in this world . carly : trust me , his kids mean a hell of a lot more to him than she does . [ scene_break ] siobhan : if you 're here for a game of pool and some greasy food , i can see about getting you a menu , but if you 're here to make me change my mind about breaking things off , my mind 's made up . you may as well go back the way you came . lucky : i 'm just here to talk about the balkan . siobhan : well , in case you missed it , i 'm working . so , unless you want to order a soda or something , i got to be getting back to my customers . lucky : fine . that 's what i 'll do . i 'll have a soda . that should buy me a few minutes of your time . siobhan : coleman does n't pay me to chat . lucky : siobhan , can you just listen ? we both know that the balkan is still out there waiting for any chance he can get to avenge his son . siobhan : look , i feel bad for brenda . especially with the wedding coming up . and for you , since you clearly pissed this guy off . the balkan 's not my problem anymore . lucky : what makes you so confident ? huh ? what makes you so confident the balkan is n't gon na come after you again ? siobhan : the balkan only grabbed me as bait to force your hand . what 's the point now , seeing as i have nothing to do with you ? lucky : he does n't know that . siobhan : well , then maybe you should help clue him in by keeping your distance . balkan wo n't come at me if he sees i 'm not important to you . lucky : yeah , well , the problem is you are . and regardless of where you and i are at , i still want to make sure you 're safe . siobhan : i can take care of myself . i 've been doing it most of my life . [ cell phone rings ] siobhan : lucky , i 'm going on break . i 'll get your soda when i get a chance . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , so i have everything ready for the giselle shoot . we just have to get this stuff there an hour before so the photographer can do the lighting check . maxie : it 's not gon na work , you know . lulu : kate wants 6 outfits . i 've prepared 12 . maxie : i 'm not talking about the clothes , i 'm talking about you burying yourself in your work so you can forget about your boyfriend problems . lulu : ex - boyfriend . maxie : if you say so . lulu : what is that supposed to mean ? maxie : it means dante lied before and you 've forgiven him . lulu : he lied about being a cop . that i can understand . this brenda thing is a little different . maxie : why ? because he kept a secret for her ? it was 3 years ago . lulu : because he still has feelings for her . maxie : dante is not the first guy in town to fall for brenda 's act . i mean , look at spinelli . he 's bending over backwards to make sure the divine one has all the comforts of home . chai tea , organic foods . i mean , all brenda has to do is flash that fake smile and spinelli comes running like one of those stupid little dogs with the bell thingy . lulu : you know what ? brenda is not the first person that spinelli got weird over , and you were n't either . maxie : ouch ! lulu : i 'm just saying , spinelli is a very bad example . maxie : okay . well , take jason , then . he moved brenda , a woman he supposedly ca n't stand , into his house . lulu : to protect her . maxie : please . jason could have stashed brenda in one of those safe houses with an army full of men to protect her wearing bad suits . but he chose to protect her himself . okay , do n't get me wrong . i really am on your side . i just -- i think you should follow sam 's example . think of brenda as a temporary problem . she 's not worth losing the guy you love . [ scene_break ] dante : well , we agreed a long time ago that you 'd make all the decisions about the baby , so ... i would never say anything unless you do . brenda : yeah . well , you know , i 've decided to leave it in the past , like you suggested . dante : well , okay . that 's good . brenda : you know , sonny and i have been through so much . and i just , i do n't want to dwell on a part of my life that 's over , so i 'm just trying to move on . dante : i guess that 's what we 're all just trying to do . [ scene_break ] terrell : i was looking over the proposed budget cuts for the aids wing . the public awareness program is the first thing on the list to go . robin : i know . the director thinks that the money is better spent treating patients rather than preventing new ones . it is beyond frustrating . i mean , i know that the cuts have to come somewhere , but how are we supposed to prevent an epidemic without education ? terrell : well , you know what ? i got some ideas for a fundraiser . maybe we can generate enough to keep the awareness program going . [ beeping ] terrell : they need me in the e.r . are you free tonight ? maybe we can talk about it over drinks . [ scene_break ] matt : okay , i have got a sweet spinal procedure that schroeder is foaming at the mouth for . however , me being the good brother than i am -- patrick : the guy 's barely been here a week and everybody thinks he walks on water . matt : schroeder ? patrick : no . dr. jackson . you mind telling me what 's so great about the guy , 'cause i ca n't see it . matt : uh , yeah . easy . the guy works in peds . patrick : peds . really . so what ? matt : women have a soft spot for any man who can save sick kids . trumps being a badass brain surgeon any day of the week . and if you do n't believe me , ask any of these nurses , because they are all lining up to take a shot at the prize . patrick : go ahead , line up . i 'm a better doctor in the first place . matt : i did n't realize that this was a competition . so , uh , what 's the prize ? or should i say who ? robin : is the wilkins chart there ? patrick : wilkins ? that 's it right there . robin : thank you . patrick : everything all right ? robin : yeah , everything 's great . the whole aids wing problem has been solved . terrell decided to step in and volunteer . i do n't know how i 'm ever gon na thank him . [ scene_break ] claire : hi . sonny : hi . thanks for coming by . claire : sure . did you have a problem with the paperwork i dropped off ? sonny : no , i signed the papers , sent them back to your office . claire : okay . so why 'd you want to see me ? sonny : uh ... i was wondering if you could help me with a legal problem . claire : um ... unless this has something to do with parking permits for your delivery trucks , i do n't think diane would be comfortable with you coming to me over her regarding legal advice . and given the fact that my career options are limited right now , i ca n't afford to piss off a partner in the best firm in town . sonny : i already ran it by diane . claire : okay . i 'm listening . sonny : would you consider defending brenda and dante ? claire : me ? sonny : the wrongful death suit is not going away , and they need the best . claire : you 've got theo hoffman . he 's one of the highest - paid attorneys on the east coast . and that 's for good reason . he does n't lose . sonny : no , i get it . it 's complicated . he wants to bring you in as co - counsel . i said to him that i would ask you . claire : because of our history . sonny : i know how good you are . theo knows how good you are . that 's why he needs you on the case . can you help ? dante and brenda , they really are in serious trouble . [ scene_break ] dante : hey . you look about as good as i feel . siobhan ? you want to talk about it ? lucky : nah . not really . dante : hey , can i get a beer , man ? actually , uh , whiskey , shot , please . [ sighs ] lucky : so what 's , uh , going on with you ? dante : lulu found out that brenda killed aleksander and that i covered it up . lucky : what do you mean , she found out ? i thought we were gon na keep this a secret . dante : yeah , i mean , our , uh -- thank you . our amazing defense attorney , theo hoffman , stopped by to talk about the lawsuit , and he assumed that she knew because we were so concerned about brenda taking the stand . lucky : unbelievable . well , you know , lulu 's not gon na say anything , if that 's what you 're worried about . dante : she 's done . she broke up with me . lucky : what ? dante : too many lies . lucky : wow , man , i 'm sorry . you know , um , if you want me to talk to her or ... dante : no , no , this is -- this is my mess . i just got ta fix it , and i just got ta figure out how . [ scene_break ] maxie : what is it that dante cares about more than anything ? besides his mother , i mean . being a cop and protecting people . i 'm sure brenda played on that . lulu : huh . dante risked his badge for brenda , so apparently she means more to him than his career . obviously more than me . maxie : he loves you . lulu : not enough to be honest with me . maxie : what is it that you are not getting about this ? dante has a hero complex . all cops do . i was raised by one . that whole serve and protect thing , it 's not just a job , it 's who they are . i 'm sure brenda saw that and just swooped in , made dante think he was the only person that could protect her . so of course , he did whatever he could to live up to that , even if it included lying to you . [ footsteps approaching ] brenda : hey . hi . do you , uh , do you have a minute ? maxie : actually , lulu was just leaving . she has a photo shoot to prep for with giselle . you know , a real supermodel ? brenda : uh , yeah . yes , of course . this will just take a minute . lulu : we can talk in kate 's office . brenda : i heard about you and dante . lulu : yeah . well , i ca n't control what dante tells you , but i 'm not gon na discuss my personal life with you . brenda : absolutely . i just came to apologize , um , because it 's completely my fault . so , um , look , dante loves you . he would never do anything to hurt you . the thought of losing you is killing him . so , i just hope that you do n't punish him for protecting me . brenda : i can see that you 're angry . i -- i , uh -- lulu : you do n't know me . you do n't -- you do n't know how i feel , so do n't stand here and pretend like you do . brenda : i just want to explain to you why dante lied . lulu : you do n't need to explain dante to me . what happened between us is our business , not yours . brenda : i just hope you did n't break up with him because of me . lulu : oh , my god , brenda , if you 're feeling guilty , maybe it 's because you played on his need to protect people and you put him in a position where he could have lost everything . brenda : yeah , you 're absolutely right . you are , and that 's why i 'm here . um , i just -- i want to know if there 's anything i can do to make this right . lulu : is this a joke right now ? i ca n't believe it . sonny proposes to you , he 's buying you a house . he 's gon na marry you . and that 's still not enough . you still have to come first in dante 's life , before his job and before me . you are so unbelievably needy . i have better things to do right now than talk to you . brenda : you 're right . i 'm sorry . look , i just want you to know that if you let dante go , it 's gon na be a big mistake . he 's such a good man , and he loves you . that 's all . sorry . [ scene_break ] dante : so you 're gon na just sit here and stalk siobhan all night or what ? lucky : how long 's my break ? no , listen , she , uh , she 's convinced herself that she 's safe now , that the balkan 's not going to come after her because we 're not together anymore . that kind of thinking could get her killed . i just want to make sure that she 's safe . dante : well , i know you want to keep her safe , but sometimes it does n't matter how much you try , the people you care about , you ca n't prevent them from getting hurt . lucky : yeah . i do n't understand why lulu would break up with you , man . i mean , all you were trying to do was protect her . the balkan is gon na come after anybody with information , and she 's safer not knowing . dante : ohh . you can justify it a million ways , but it does n't change the fact that i lied to her . and it was n't the first time . that 's what she really cares about . when brenda came to town and she found out that i knew her from before , she asked me straight to my face , did i have anything else i was keeping from her , and i said no . [ lucky sighs ] dante : come on , now 's your chance to tell me to stay away from your sister . lucky : why would i say that ? dante : because why would you want her with a guy who 's gon na lie to her face ? lucky : that 's not lying . that 's protecting the woman you love . look , lulu needs you now more than ever . she 's on the balkan 's radar . and you know what ? she has n't always made the best choices when it comes to relationships , but it was different when she met you . dante : oh , you mean dominic . yet another lie . lucky : you lied about your name , not about who you were . dante : it does n't matter . she 's always gon na wonder whether or not i 'm being honest with her now . lucky : the spencers are just suspicious by nature . you know , our dad taught us to never take anything at face value , and i broke that rule with elizabeth . and you know what ? lulu saw that . she saw what i went through , and i 'm sure that she 's looking at you guys and she does n't want to go through the same thing . that 's probably why she 's pushing you away , because she does n't want to get hurt . dante : well , for good reason . lucky : we ca n't always protect the people we love , you 're right . but we also ca n't walk through our lives afraid to take chances , either . so , look , man , if you want to win lulu back ... show her why you 're worth the risk . [ scene_break ] terrell : well , the good news is i do n't see any indication of an ear infection . elizabeth : really ? because he 's been awfully fussy lately . and cameron at this age was having ear infections all the time , and when aiden was pulling at his ear , i thought , here we go again . terrell : well , it can be a warning sign . so keep an eye on him . if aiden has any other symptoms , you just bring him right back down here , okay ? nikolas : you said that was the good news . is there something else we should be concerned about ? terrell : yeah , well , aiden is actually cutting a tooth . and it hurts , he 's gon na let you know it , i do n't think you 're gon na get much sleep until it comes in . elizabeth : oh , i do n't sleep anyway . with 3 kids and a job , i 'm too busy to sleep . terrell : i know the feeling . you take care , little man . call me if you have any questions , okay ? elizabeth : we will . nikolas : thank you . elizabeth : sorry for making such a big deal out of a little tooth . nikolas : it is a big deal . it means our son is growing up . elizabeth : i know . he 's changing every day . that 's why i 've been coming around so much lately . i just do n't want either one of you to miss out on anything . nikolas : elizabeth , you do n't need a reason to come by . i 'm always happy to spend time with aiden . elizabeth : i know he 'd really love it if you could tuck him in tonight . what do you think , aiden ? you think you 'll be able to fall asleep if daddy 's there ? [ scene_break ] lisa : terrell . terrell . volunteering your time to keep the aids wing open 's a nice touch . robin 's practically pudding . terrell : i have my own reasons . lisa : oh , yeah , yeah . your friend who , uh , died of aids . terrell : his name 's ricky , lisa . lisa : okay , well , fine . you milk ricky 's death for all that it 's worth and then robin will be yours for the taking . there 's nothing she loves more than a little empathy . terrell : not too high on your list , though , is it ? [ lisa snorts ] robin : hey . terrell : so , you , uh , you finally find a sitter ? robin : yes . she just picked emma up from day - care , so , uh , i 'm all yours . [ scene_break ] sonny : i realize what i 'm asking you is above and beyond here . first you get me out of a car bomb conviction , and your career goes ... and now i 'm asking you to defend the woman i 'm gon na marry . i do n't know how much -- claire : when i got the charges against you dropped in the zacchara case , it was n't personal . it was my job . sonny : your job was to put me away . if that 's all you cared about , then you would have let ronnie just use the evidence he had against me . claire : sonny , if i had let you go to prison based on an illegally obtained wiretap , i would n't have been able to look myself in the mirror . and if i refused to defend brenda out of some need to get back at you for breaking things off , i ... i would n't feel good about myself either . sonny : so you 'll take the case ? claire : consider it a wedding present . [ scene_break ] diane : i never thought i would hear myself say this , but your wildly inappropriate desire to butt into other people 's lives just might be justified . at least in this instance . carly : that means you found what i need to prove to sonny that he 's making the biggest mistake of his life . diane : that document was procured for me by a legal associate in new york , via subpoena . it 's even got a notary stamp . unlike the copy that spinelli pilfered from that law firm . so it 's all there in black and white . no one can doubt its veracity . dante gave up all parental rights to brenda 's child . carly : i knew they were keeping a dirty secret . i ca n't wait . i ca n't wait to see the look on sonny 's face when he finds out his precious brenda got pregnant by his son . [ scene_break ] molly : oh ! sorry . lucky : watch it . molly : i am so sorry . my mom has told kristina and me a million times that texting causes accidents . she even had us sign that no phone zone thing . i guess walking and typing is n't any safer . lucky : yeah . i 'm sorry for snapping at you , molly . i just , uh , got in a fight with a friend . it must have put me in a bad mood , i guess . molly : well , talking about what bothers you always helps .

robert : uh , no . no . none whatsoever . i covered our tracks perfectly there . anna : that 's not to stop her from asking questions . she was already kind of suspicious . robert : look . let her ask all she wants . we already had a plan in place for that eventuality . she starts trying to track faison -- well , she 'll run up against a brick wall . anna : can you be sure ? i mean , i 'm betting she 's probably rung steinmauer already to find out if he 's there . robert : i doubt that the good people at steinmauer are gon na be too forthcoming about helping somebody who aided and abetted an escape . anna : well , that 's a valid point . robert : uh , uh , uh , let 's forget about faison for the moment . think about how obrecht convinced the idiots at the wsb to send her packing . anna : yeah . whatever she used to leverage the situation ... robert : ... had to be big . anna : mm . robert : really big . and i got a feeling it 's something that could come back and bite everyone right in the ass . patrick : you could have a signed petition from the president himself . i will not work with you , and i think i speak for every staff member of this hospital . if she is hired , there will be a mass exodus , starting with me , because i quit ! dr. obrecht : i took the liberty of examining the employment agreements of the staff while i was in negotiation for the position . i found that you , dr. drake , are under contract . so , by the bond of your own signature , you can not resign . patrick : oh ... dr. obrecht : the same goes for doctors westbourne and clay . robin : well , they can all be your slaves , like i was for the last two years , but i am not participating in this farce . dr. obrecht : when you change your mind , dr. scorpio - drake -- and you will -- your job will be waiting ! monica : what in the hell is going on here ? ! you fire me because of charges against my son . well , he was acquitted ! then you turn around , and you hire this woman ? ! silas : and exactly how does hiring a criminal help the hospital 's image ? dr. obrecht : i admit i am not squeaky - clean . but who among us is ? even the brightest minds have occasionally found themselves the focus of legal scrutiny . would n't you agree , dr. clay ? hmm ? carly : you 're lying . you did n't kill luke . you love him . heather : yes . i do . i love my son franco , too . and look what he 's forcing me to doo him . carly : no one 's forcing you , heather ! you 're deliberately framing your son ! heather : and quite effectively , i might add . if all is going according to plan , he should be arrested soon -- i mean , if -- well , if he has n't been already . and then he 'll be brought before a judge and made to pay for his crimes ... including what i 'm about to do to you . nikolas : i 'll bring emma home in a couple hours . mac : i appreciate it . and , uh , lulu , do n't be a stranger . lulu : sure . mac : look , i know things are strained between you and maxie right now . you used to be good friends -- best friends . lulu : yeah . yeah , we were . mac : well , i just hope that when she finishes this spiritual journey she 's on , that you two can find your way back to each other . okay ? all right . thanks , again . nikolas : mm - hmm . [ knock on door ] franco : you expecting someone ? kiki : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] dante : kiki , michael , it 's your brother . open the door . michael : kiki ? kiki : [ gasps ] what are you waiting for ? ! go hide ! go ! michael : is someone at the door ? kiki : yep . it 's your brother , dante . you should put on a shirt . i was just about to go get the -- the door . dante : hey . can i , uh -- kiki : hi . dante : hey . michael : hey , dante . dante : michael . what 's up ? michael : any update on mom ? dante : uh , nothing yet , but i 've taken over the search for franco . i have a warrant for his arrest . michael : yeah , i know . i 'm the one who , uh , pressured baldwin in getting it . dante : you ? how did you manage that ? michael : well , i , uh , threatened to stand on the steps of city hall with morgan , holding josslyn by the hand and telling the press that he risked our mother 's life to protect his son . dante : well , no wonder he caved . michael : [ sighs deeply ] dante , why did n't you tell me you found a knife with mom 's blood and franco 's fingerprints on it ? dante : come on . michael , i was ordered not to . michael : ordered not to ? s - so , what -- baldwin can use his position as d.a . to protect his son , but you ca n't use your position as a cop to tell your own brother about his missing mom ? ! kiki : michael ! michael : what if it was your mom ? what would you expect me to do ? kiki : michael , dante is a cop , okay ? that 's his job . i 'm sure he 's doing everything he can to find your mom . michael : do you have any leads on mom ? dante : actually , that 's exactly why i 'm here right now . robert : i just ca n't fathom the kind of information obrecht could 've come up with which would 've allowed the wsb to cut her loose . anna : maybe frisco can shed some light on it . robert : i think if he 'd known , he -- he would 've alerted us . no ... frisco 's been cut out of the loop on this one . anna : what do you think the chances are ... that she took advantage of her good fortune , and she 's just taken her act , you know , far , far , far away from port charles ? dr. obrecht : this afternoon has been quite eventful . i doubt we 'll be able to get any more work done . i move to adjourn the meeting and allow the doctors time to adjust to their new ... reality . board chairman : as you see fit . dr. obrecht : britta ? britt : what ? dr. obrecht : i gather my little surprise is not welcome ? britt : how did you think this was all gon na go down , mother ? dr. obrecht : i - i had hoped that you , of all people , might see the potential of the situation . britt : what potential ? dr. obrecht : that you and i might use our new circumstances to breathe new life into our relationship . britt : we do n't have a relationship . dr. obrecht : we could , if you were willing to try . britt : try ? you want me to try , after you more or less threatened me just now ? dr. obrecht : i did no such thing . britt : oh , please . `` toe the line , or i 'm gon na tell the truth about ben ! `` dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] and risk losing my grandson ? i think not . i promise i wo n't tell anyone where that baby came from . i ask only one thing in return . britt : here it comes . dr. obrecht : give me a chance . robin : [ sighs ] patrick : hey , hey , hey , hey . okay , stop . we 'll -- we 'll deal with this . robin : how ? ! do n't you see ? obrecht is trying to trap you , just like she had me trapped , except it 's with your contract . she 's gon na make you her puppet . patrick : hey , i 'm your husband . i 'm nobody 's puppet but yours . robin : [ sighs ] she 's trying to set a trap , just like britt did when she tried to pass the baby off as yours . sabrina : elizabeth , please , help me out here . elizabeth : how -- by lying to patrick , by not telling him that you 're gon na have his baby ? ! how could you ask me that ? felix : she did n't have any trouble asking me , so asking you is probably a piece of cake . sabrina : felix , that 's not -- you 're not helping at all . elizabeth : i stood up for patrick at his wedding , his wedding to you ! how am i supposed to keep him in the dark about something this important and still call him one of my best friends ? sabrina : okay , he 's one of your best friends . yeah , well , what about robin ? she 's one of your best friends , too , right ? i mean , just think about what this would do to her . elizabeth : if there 's even a possibility that patrick could be a father again , he would want to know . he would want to be a part of this baby 's life ! sabrina : exactly , elizabeth ! patrick would step up , no matter what it would do to his family . i know this because i 've been through this with him already , remember -- when britt interrupted the nurses ' ball to announce her pregnancy ? elizabeth : but that was completely different ! yes , she was pregnant , but she was carrying someone else 's baby ! nikolas : how 's everything going in here ? spencer : we want to go outside and play . lulu : really ? it 's pretty cold outside . spencer : i 've skied the alps . this is nothing . nikolas : all right , as long as you bundle up and follow the rules , which are ... ? spencer : do n't go near the water -- i know ! nikolas : or the cliffs or the caves ! lulu : what has gotten into them ? nikolas : i do n't know . emma : [ clears throat ] cameron : so , where we gon na do this ? spencer : i know the perfect place -- the stables . carly : you know , heather , this plan of yours is never gon na work ! heather : pbht ! how you figure ? carly : too many moving parts , you know ? too many things could go wrong , like franco avoiding arrest or -- or finding out who 's framing him . heather : [ scoffs ] please . he thinks i 'm dead ! carly : not for long . franco 's gon na save me , because you 're gon na give yourself away . see , you wo n't be able to help yourself . heather : i told you , carly . i 've got it all planned out . carly : you 're gon na want a front - row seat for all the action . and then you 're gon na wind up revealing yourself . see , you 're gon na push your luck too far , and everything is gon na come crashing down around you , just like everything you 've ever done ... because in the end , you 're just too damn crazy to be smart . heather : why do i keep making the same mistake , removing that gag of yours ? here -- let me put it back for you . ow ! you bit me . i ca n't believe you bit me ! patrick : i promise you i 'm not gon na let obrecht pull one over on us , all right ? robin : good . how ? patrick : i do n't know that yet , but we 'll figure something out . robin : you 're right . i need to stay calm . i did n't survive two years in obrecht 's captivity by freaking out . patrick : exactly -- and we 'll get ahold of your parents . we 'll let them know what 's going on , and we 'll deal with this as a family . sabrina : i know that my situation and britt 's are n't entirely the same . elizabeth : they 're not the same at all . felix : that 's what i 've been trying to tell her , but -- sabrina : but the end result would be the same . look , this would cause a rift between patrick and robin that may never heal . elizabeth : or they might be grown - ups , accept the situation , and live with it . sabrina : we 've all been hurt so much , elizabeth . please , just help me stop the pain . please , just do n't -- do n't contradict my story . patrick can never know that this baby does not belong to carlos . lulu : [ sighs ] nikolas : [ sighs ] lulu : what a handsome guy you are . nikolas : you , uh , avoided my question about dante . lulu : i did , did n't i ? it 's not dante 's fault that we ca n't have children . but this separation -- it 's about me . [ door closes ] lulu : i just wanted a baby so badly , i do n't really know how to let that go . britt : oh , lulu ! lulu : hi ! britt : hi ! lulu : look ! mommy 's here ! bet you missed her ! britt : hey , buddy ! lulu : [ chuckles ] britt : hey ! [ coos indistinctly ] hi ! [ sighs ] nikolas : so , tell me . what happened at the hospital ? did you land the chief of staff job ? britt : uh ... no , i am not the new chief . nikolas : oh . well , then , who is ? britt : brace yourself . dr. obrecht : dr. clay ... silas : mm ? dr. obrecht : i 've given your work a thorough review , and i believe you to have a bright future at this hospital ... assuming you can find a way to work for me . silas : well , the way i see it , i work for my patients . so do n't kidnap me , my family , or anyone i care about , and ... we should n't have a problem . [ sighs ] dr. obrecht : dr. quartermaine -- monica -- monica : what the hell do you want ? dr. obrecht : i 'd like to hire you back as head of cardiology . general hospital has never seen a better heart surgeon . monica : i 'll think about it . board chairman : well ... that could 've gone better . dr. obrecht : not to worry . i 'm certain the staff will come around . besides , in the end , none of them -- doctors clay and quartermaine , the drakes , even my britta -- they will have no choice but to go along with my plans ... certainly no more than you and general hospital did . anna : what next ? robert : i 'm gon na put out a few feelers at the wsb and see if we can figure out what obrecht 's plans might be . anna : all right . [ sighs ] i guess all i can do is wait till she lets us know what her intentions are , and ... wait for her to slip up . that 's a lot of waiting . robert : it 'll happen . we 'll get her . anna : we already had got her . robert : in the meantime , we have much bigger fish to fry . anna : bigger than obrecht ? robert : [ chuckles ] much bigger . our granddaughter has got herself involved in a love triangle . spencer : that 's my tree , and that 's my rock , and over there is my beach , and here -- cameron : we get it ! everything here is yours . spencer : well , not everything -- not the sky and the sun and the wind . but pretty much everything else . cameron : give me a break . spencer : emma , might you happen to enjoy horses ? emma : are you kidding ? i love horses . spencer : well , you 're in luck , 'cause i have a whole stable full of horses ! cameron : let 's get on with it . heather : [ grunts ] carly : game over , psycho . dante : kiki , i know you and franco formed a bond when you thought he was your father , and i 'm assuming you guys still share some kind of a bond ? am i right ? michael : wait , you -- you think kiki knows where franco is . dante : well , i would n't put it past franco to reach out to kiki for help . has he tried to get in touch with you ? michael : kiki has n't seen franco . she would 've told me if she had . [ sighs ] right ? [ both grunt ] heather : i should 've killed you when i had the chance . spencer : i suppose it 's time . heather : it 's time for me to rectify my mistake . spencer : let the duel for emma begin ! carly : help ! somebody , help me ! | anna tells robert that the wsb released liesl obrecht . he wonders what she had to trade for her freedom . he assures anna that obrecht ca n't possibly know what they did to faison . he concludes that frisco must be out of the loop , since they have n't heard from him . anna hopes obrecht is far away from port charles . dr. obrecht is the new chief of staff at general hospital . she has documentation that the wsb dropped all of the charges against her and that she has a clean record . britt wonders why , even if the charges were dropped , general hospital would hire her . patrick says he wo n't work with her and that he is quitting . obrecht says none of them can quit because they are under contract . obrecht offers monica her old job as head of cardiology . silas tells obrecht that as long as she stays away from anyone he cares about , he does n't foresee any problems . when everyone else has left , obrecht tells the board representative that none of the doctors will have any more choice about going along with her plans that the hospital board did . |

[ scene_break ] hayden : what difference does it make what i do with the information you dug up for me ? curtis : you know , you were so determined to prove that someone other than shawn wanted you dead . i got the answer for you , and what 'd you do ? you hung up on me . you never even reached out to me . first i thought maybe you were trying to stiff me , so good , old curtis did some checking . i found out that you 're living with a prince , you got a good job , and , well , you 're working for his company , so it was n't the money that 's holding you back . then you must have just had a change of heart . 'cause all of a sudden , you 're not interested in sticking it to the son of a bitch that put you in a coma . you just need to let me know what your endgame is . hayden : the only thing this proves is that shawn did n't shoot me . it gives no indication of who actually did . curtis : you do n't need to know that . maybe you already know . hayden : our business is done . curtis : you know , you 're only alive because whoever tried to kill you still thinks you 're blaming shawn . once he finds out you know the truth , he 's gon na come back , and you 're gon na be gone . [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , some supposed witness comes forward and the da just drops the charges ? jordan : no , no . there was , uh , a witness that was staying in a room just directly across from the terrace , so he saw the whole thing . you threw the first punch , you escalated the fight , and jason morgan was just defending himself . and your own momentum sent you off the terrace . is n't that right ? yeah . but for some reason , you want to put jason morgan away . nikolas : [ scoffs , chuckles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 're insane , you know that ? sam : [ scoffs ] elizabeth : you think i broke my family picture and i - i scared my boys ? why would i do that ? sam : i think it 's pretty obvious -- because you knew that jason would come running . you are manipulating him again . you 're playing victim . you 're pretending that your kids are in danger , so he would feel compelled to come protect you . elizabeth : oh . [ sighs ] really ? jason : it is official . the charges against me have been dropped thanks to your genius detective work . thank you so much . elizabeth : all of them ? jason : yes . elizabeth : that 's great . um , but right now , can you deal with this little genius who is accusing me of staging all of these incidents ? unbelievable . jason : what ? sam : come on , jason . you 're the one who walked me through the evidence . the neighborhood kids did n't see anything , there was no sign of forced entry , there were no fingerprints to be lifted , because there was never an intruder in the house . this whole thing was staged by somebody who lives here . elizabeth : okay , this is crazy , all right ? i 'm not gon na stand here and let you accuse me of this . sam : [ scoffs ] is it really that far of a stretch ? you lied to him for seven months about who he was . you would do anything to hold on to him . so here you are , you 're lying again . elizabeth : is it not enough that you stole jason away from me ? and now you 're accusing me of -- of terrorizing my kids ? what is wrong with you ? w - when are you gon na be happy ? when you -- when you -- when i 've lost everything ? when you 've completely destroyed my entire life ?

[ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : you do realize that jason morgan has an extensive criminal record , that he 's known to be violent and dangerous ? jordan : yeah , but in this case , he was acting in self - defense . nikolas : according to one man who -- [ scoffs ] hayden and i already told you what happened . jordan : actually , ms. barnes kind of waffled on her account of what happened . at first , she insisted that mr. morgan tried to kill you , and then -- then she claims that she was too upset that night to -- to actually have an account of what occurred . so now that there 's this eyewitness who 's emphatically stressing that you threw the first punch , that -- that seriously undermines the , uh , attempted - murder charge . nikolas : so he just walks ? jordan : yeah . and all the charges against him have been dropped . [ scene_break ] jason : you two need to keep your voices down . jake 's right upstairs . elizabeth : do you think i would stoop so low as to use my own children ? i owned my mistake with jason . sam : when ? the 75th time you were accused ? are you kidding me , elizabeth ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] sam : i gave you a chance to tell jason the truth . you still lied to him . you still would n't admit anything . i 'm the one who had to tell him . and the only reason why you said anything is because you had no choice . you were backed into a corner . elizabeth : and i said i was sorry . jason , you -- you have to know that i would never do this to my kids . sam : [ scoffs ] you know , i -- i do n't know what you would or would n't do , elizabeth . you had no trouble hurting danny by keeping him away from his father for all those months . elizabeth : okay , is this how you -- how you 're gon na pay me back ? by accusing me of something i would never do ? sam : i just think it 's pretty convenient that both times that this happened , no one saw anything . you know that , do n't you , jason ? that 's why you keep tripping over the fact that there was no sign of forced entry . you knew that someone staged this . you just do n't want to say it out loud .

[ scene_break ] ric : come on , stop . claudia : you -- what ? ric : stop it , stop . claudia : you 're really not going to let me seduce you ? ric : well , call me crazy , but you know , the urge kind of is gone after two guys are standing outside my door , both of which are known for carrying weapons , and the other one is an insanely irrational husband . claudia : listen , you 're sonny 's brother . he pretty much hates you , but you 're still around . ric : yeah , that 's not a lot of comfort , claudia . okay , look , since we know that sex by distraction is off the table , why do n't you just tell me why you 're trying to manipulate me ? claudia : why do you have to insult me ? ric : why you got to stall , claudia ? come on . claudia : i want to know the truth . ric : about what ? claudia : about my father 's agenda . i know he has one . i just have n't figured it out yet . ric : i told you , i do n't know what you 're talking about -- claudia : you know what ? do n't -- do n't insult my intelligence . my father brought sonny into this organization for a specific purpose . you know what it is . now , considering i 'm stuck in the middle between my crazy , psychotic , dangerous father and my potentially psychotic husband , the least you can do is tell me exactly what kind of mess i 've gotten myself into . ric : okay . first thing you need to know is ... anthony 's not paralyzed . claudia : get the hell out . ric : anthony -- anthony walks just fine . he also shoots his rifle . which he did ... on sonny 's wedding day . claudia : i knew the night that kate got shot that karpov did n't do it . obviously , you did , too . how 'd you find out ? ric : well , i walked in on anthony , found him standing there dismantling his rifle . claudia : and , what , he admitted it to you ? that speaks of some kind of trust or -- ric : i do n't know about that . look , obviously anthony was trying to blame kate 's shooting on the russians . he knew that sonny was going to spin out of control . he also knew that sonny was going to probably be obsessed with going after karpov . claudia : which is exactly what happened . ric : yeah , but sonny did n't have the resources to go after the russians , and he knew that he would go to jason for help . claudia : who would turn him down and then he would come right to us . ric : look , your father offered the zacchara organization to sonny under the condition that he would marry you . that way , he had sonny deeper in the hole . i mean , anthony wants to keep his friends close and his enemies closer . and he also wanted to make sure that he had his eyes on ears in this house . claudia : hey , i 'm not -- nobody ever said that i had to spy on sonny . ric : claudia , you do n't have to . you 're already here -- look at you . your father 's been pulling your strings since the day you were born . he knows that you 're loyal to the family -- he also knows that you 're going to give him any information that he asks for . claudia : you know what my father does ? he underestimates me , and so do you . i can not believe that you 've known this the whole time and you did n't tell me . ric : well , what do you expect ? come on , it 's easy , claudia . i did n't know i could trust you . and frankly , i 'm still not sure . you 've got to -- you got to understand something . i am -- i 'm risking my life by telling you this . claudia : i know how my father deals with betrayal . and i know what you 're risking . on the other hand , you 're already in it this far . [ ric scoffs ] claudia : you might as well finish . right ? ric : all right , sonny 's ensconced with the zacchara organization . your father 's going to try to escalate the tension with jason , knowing that sonny 's going to eventually have to make a move . claudia : jason , being forever loyal , wo n't strike back . sonny will kill jason . ric : yeah . claudia : my father will kill sonny and crown himself the king of the world ? ric : yeah , and so far , a few road bumps , and your father 's plan is working . claudia : okay , and you 're okay with -- you 're okay with this . ric : i 'm the messenger . claudia : no , ric , in order for this plan to work out , your brother has to die . you 're okay with that ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , robin 's not on the list . did she rsvp no , or -- you did n't invite her ? carly : she just had a baby . and did you hear she just moved ? sonny : okay , i know you two do n't get along but -- and do n't get defensive because it 's probably partially robin 's fault , too -- but she was a big part of michael 's life , a big part of my life . i would like her to be there . carly : mm . fine . sonny : `` fine `` what ? carly : fine , i 'll ask her . sonny : okay , if it 's -- if it 's too uncomfortable for you -- carly : no , no . i 'm going to go to her house and i 'm going to ask her in person to make up for the short notice , okay ? sonny : yeah . carly : you did n't answer my question . are you going to bring claudia ? sonny : well , you know , if she wants to go . but if it makes you uncomfortable , i have no problem telling claudia to stay home . carly : no -- see , this is me being a big person . if claudia would like to attend the benefit , she 's more than welcome . she is your wife -- sonny : mm - hmm . carly : god help you . [ sonny chuckles ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal values his friendship with fair samantha far too much to work her . i was merely expressing my interest in the current status of your life , which is always so ... entertainingly adventurous . sam : oh . okay . i get it . spinelli : yeah ! sam : okay , let 's see -- hmm . well , yesterday , i went to the spa -- spinelli : oh . sam : and i had the most amazing massage . spinelli : you do n't say . sam : and , um -- let 's see . i was going to get a pedicure -- a - ha . you are terrible at this , i told you . spinelli : add it to the ever - expanding list of things . [ spinelli sighs ] sam : okay . look , you 're really sweet , so why do n't we just put everything out on the table ? i know you 're probably wondering if jason made a deal with the feds to keep you out of prison and that i would know what it is and that i would tell you . spinelli : yeah , fair samantha has hit the proverbial nail on the head . see , it -- it 's not right that stone cold would put himself in such an untenable position and not allow the jackal to assume his fair share of responsibility and blame when the whole thing could 've been avoided had the jackal not been so arrogant as to think he was unhackable . sam : okay , i 'm not really sure i understand everything that you just said , but all i can tell you is what you already know , spinelli . jason said that he would handle it , and he will . you 've got to trust him . just trust him , okay ? thank you for the snacks . i 'm going to go . spinelli : okay . sam : all right ? spinelli : it was good to see you . sam : bye . spinelli : bye . [ door opens ] [ scene_break ] jason : you see , carly believes that if she wants something bad enough , she can will it into existence . and the crazy thing is she 's done it a lot of times . but in this case , we both know that force of will is not going to wake michael up . patrick : i know where you 're going with this . you think i 'm giving carly false hope about michael 's condition . jason : no , no . i do n't think that you 're intentionally misleading her at all , but all of a sudden , carly has all this hope , and sometimes letting carly hope is setting her up for heartbreak , and there 's always a fallout . patrick : well , i 've been honest about michael 's condition . that 's my job . if carly chooses to find hope in that , then there 's nothing i can do about it , and frankly , there 's nothing you can do about it , either . [ jason sighs ] jason : you know , that sounds real logical , but you know the situation is n't . patrick : look , i understand that . look , jason , this foundation that carly 's setting up has an opportunity to do some real good . jason : right . patrick : now , if she feels that she 's helping other people in michael 's condition in his name -- frankly , if she finds resolution in that , that ca n't be a bad thing . i would hope that you would encourage carly in this situation and not discourage her . [ jason sighs ] jason : yeah , well , thank you for hearing me out . patrick : jason , um -- jason : yeah ? patrick : when robin came to see you today , how was she ? jason : seemed a little tense , like she was covering something , maybe . patrick : thanks .

[ robin chuckles ] robin : but , you know , i -- i did n't want to lead you on or anything , so i started to make myself unavailable , and then send emily in my place , which , of course , i did n't have to twist her arm because she was already crazy in love with you . nikolas : well , thank you . not many people can say that they 've given the gift of love . and if i have n't thanked you enough , it 's because i do n't know where to start . robin : i 'm sorry you 're hurting right now . nikolas : yeah . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] spinelli : greetings , stone cold . uh -- you know , before being asked , i 'm just going to retreat to my regrettably pink room to get out of your way . jason : no , what -- what are you doing ? spinelli : nothing . i -- i just -- i 've -- i have much to do , many projects and much labor to reclaim my rightful place in the cyber -- jason : what were you working on when i just came in ? [ spinelli sighs ] spinelli : i was attempting to hack into the fbi mainframe to ascertain the nature of the unholy deal that stone cold struck to save me . jason : okay , so just let me get this straight . the fbi arrests you for treason and crimes against the government , and your response is to hack them again ? spinelli : you left me no choice .

[ sighs ] britt : well , this should n't be too difficult to figure out . have you had intercourse recently ? spinelli : come on . let 's evacuate the premises , okay ? it is frigid up here . in more ways than one . i will take you anywhere you want . well , more accurately , i will accompany you , because i am in no way fit to drive . maxie : home . i just want to go home . spinelli : home it is . maxie : [ sniffles ] maxie : oh , my god . spinelli . duke : of course , i ca n't expect everything to be the same . i mean , it 's been two decades . felicia : has it really been decades ? mac : yeah . afraid so . duke : yeah , i mean , the one thing i did n't expect was for anna to recoil every time i try to touch her . felicia : that must be an exaggeration . duke : she does not exactly welcome my advances . mac : why do n't you give anna some time , you know ? she 's had shock after shock . it 's a lot to process . duke : yeah . well , the specter of faison looms large . every time she looks at me , she sees his face . felicia : she wo n't forever . duke : [ chuckles ] forever . it seems like it 's been that long i 've waited for anna to love me . now i do n't know what to expect , especially now that there 's another man in the way . dante : uh , the baby 's great , right ? lulu : yeah . uh , but i - i ... you know , i 've been , uh , pretty worried . luke : well , sure . it must be stressful having somebody else carry your child . lulu : yeah . there 's that . but also we 've had a few incidents . luke : incidents ? lulu : i mean , nothing major . everything is fine . it 's just on new year 's eve , maxie chased after a dog and she tripped and fell , but the baby is fine . it 's just , obviously we 've been pretty worried . luke : sweetheart , you left in the middle of all that to come and find me ? lulu : yeah , you were in trouble . of course i came . luke : [ sighs ] well , it 's time to get you back home . dante : i second that . luke : i 'm a little anxious to get out of his hellhole myself . lulu : is it awful ? luke : oh , it 's been a picnic , but i 'd kind of like to get back to my real life , back to anna . anna : [ sighs ] whole thing just seems like a bad dream that i ca n't wake up from . could n't see faison for who he was , even though spencer could . i could n't . i should have been able to , but i could n't . and now duke is paying the price . sonny : he 's upset with you ? anna : well , yeah . he should be . all he 's trying to do is reconnect , and i 'm having a very hard time doing that . sonny : well , it makes sense . i mean , you -- you 've been through so much , right ? anna : why am i confiding in you ? sonny : 'cause it 's much easier arresting me , right ? [ chuckles ] anna : much . sonny : it 's true . we 're on opposite sides of everything , except when it comes to robin . anna : she loved us . both of us . sonny : you know , i do n't know why , but she , you know , she confided in me . she used to tell me personal stuff . i mean , you do n't have to if you do n't want to . it 's up to you . anna : no , i 'm not going to make a habit of this , obviously . sonny : right . anna : i do n't expect you to understand . sonny : well , i may surprise you , because when you look at duke , you see faison . when i look at connie , i ca n't help but ... see kate . connie : so , all of a sudden , we 're family now ? i thought you were on team kate . olivia : i really got to love kate , you know ? i did . but if i 'm being totally honest , when she decided to turn into kate howard , turn back on brooklyn and on me and on everything , i ... i really missed connie . and i know that you two are not the same person , but sometimes ... sometimes you are more like my real cousin connie , like that -- that -- that girl i grew up with who was my best friend than kate could ever be . connie : really ? olivia : yeah . really . i look at you sometimes , and i -- and i see that same troublemaker , you know , that spitfire that used to practice dancing on the roof , practicing for our hot dates , you know ? you know , we always said that we would dance at each other 's weddings . connie : yeah , well , sorry about that . there was no dance floor at city hall . [ chuckles ] olivia : well , there will be one at my -- connie : [ gasps ] wow ! [ laughing ] oh , my god ! that did n't mean nothing . olivia : i know . i know . connie : i know you still think i 'm crazy . olivia : well , i guess it runs in the family , huh ? connie : still having your hallucinations ? olivia : uh , i think my son 's surrogate is giving birth to a dog . connie : [ laughs ] yeah , i guess so , huh ? olivia : yeah . i guess that 's a `` yes . `` [ chuckles ] maxie : i - i , uh , slept with someone in new year 's . well , not -- not someone . uh , spinelli . britt : is that your boyfriend ? maxie : no , he used to be , but he has a girlfriend now . britt : and you slept with him anyway ? maxie : well , i was sad about losing the baby , and he was drunk . those are n't the best reasons to have sex , but ... i thought there was a chance for us . i was wrong . spinelli : so , will ellie be able to walk out of here , literally speaking ? steven : she 's gon na have a long , uh , road of physical therapy ahead . her injuries are gon na take some time to fully heal . ellie : but they will , right ? heal ? steven : all signs point to a full recovery . spinelli : yes ! steven : only if you 're willing to do some hard work . ellie : yeah . i am . steven : okay . well , then , you should be walking before you know it . ellie : thank you so much . steven : i did n't do a thing . ellie : oh , my god . i 'm so happy , i could just start crying right now . [ voice breaking ] which i am . spinelli : ellie , without a doubt , this is the best possible news i could have received today . ellie : yeah . [ chuckles ] maxie : so , i 'm pregnant , but with spinelli 's baby ? what am i gon na do ? steven : i 've always been cautiously hopeful about ellie 's condition , but her progress toward full recovery has completely exceeded my expectations . good work . ellie : it 's because of you . spinelli : no . ellie : yes , it is . hey , having you by my side , damian , there 's no way i would have gotten through this without you . spinelli : it 's a good day . ellie : hey , so good , i do n't even care that your enthusiasm inadvertently crushed the `` 2001 `` dvd . spinelli : what ? oh , my goodness . it appears i may have stood on it . ellie : yeah , it appears you have . spinelli : well , you know what ? i will go out and procure another copy . ellie : no . no , no . i ... i just would rather have you here . spinelli : then here i will stay . maxie : i ca n't believe this is happening . how is this happening ? britt : okay , take a deep breath . maxie : okay . is that gon na make me magically unpregnant with my ex - boyfriend 's child ? britt : you love him , right ? maxie : yes , of course i love him ! but he does n't love me . or even if he does , he does n't want to be with me . he wants to be with ellie . what was that look ? britt : no look . maxie : no , no . i - i saw a look . it was like a `` this might not actually be so bad , `` which is n't possible because this is as bad as it gets . britt : i do n't know . maxie : i do . britt : i 've seen men go completely over the moon when they find out they 're gon na be a father . even when they were n't expecting it . maxie : so , what ? you think finding out that i 'm carrying his child will make spinelli change his mind about me ? lulu : i 've been waiting on hold for five minutes . luke : yeah , i did n't get a chance to talk to anna much . i mean , i do know that i was right . lavery was n't who he said he was . turns out , he was faison . dante : i wish i had more details . anna came in to town as we were leaving , and i did n't get a chance to debrief with her . we 'll be needing your signature . luke : oh , well , if it 's gon na get me out of here , you can have anything you want . thank you . oh , come to papa . [ smooches ] lulu : [ sighs ] all right . flight 's been booked , so , uh , we should get out of here as soon as we can . dante : hey , maybe we 'll even have time to get to maxie 's doctor 's appointment , yeah ? luke : well , that 'll be fine as long as you drop me at the pcpd on the way . i have to make sure anna 's okay . lulu : just do me a favor and try and have some tact . luke : tact ? you mean do n't point out the fact that if she had listened to me , she could have saved herself a buttload of trouble ? lulu : yes . just try to be grateful that fake duke is not an issue . luke : and not competition . felicia : faison 's in prison . he ca n't come after you and anna anymore . duke : well , i was n't just referring to him . you see , i - i heard anna on the phone with luke spencer , and i got the impression that there 's more there than just friendship . mac : you 'd be right . felicia : well , yes . luke and anna were seeing each other . mac : and living together . felicia : well , yes , they were roommates . that 's true . they were friends , and it morphed into something more . but then when luke started going after duke -- well , i mean , the other duke . duke : [ groans ] felicia : oh , i 'm sorry . i keep doing that . mac : look , can we just forget about luke and faison for the moment ? i was n't around when you and anna were together , but we spoke of you sometimes , and it was clear how much she loved you . i mean , after all , you 're the one she married all those years ago . duke : emphasis on `` years . `` mac : felicia and i found our way back together . duke : and i 'm very happy for you both . but it 's not exactly the same , you see . when -- when felicia , when she looks at you , she only sees the face of one man . anna : you want to sit ? so , i - i read about the car accident and also johnny zacchara 's confession . sonny : yeah , typical johnny . uh , too little , too late . anna : and trey mitchell . how 's kristina doing ? sonny : not good . anna : no ? sonny : uh , but the one who 's taking it worse is connie , you know . anna : yeah . sonny : she 's just -- she 's just not taking it very well . anna : well , i suppose that 's because it 's hit her now that she 'll never get a chance to get close to him . sonny : between , you know , the guilt over losing him and then the pain over leaving him , i feel for her . i feel for her a lot . anna : does she seem -- i do n't know how to even say this , but , um , does she seem a little bit more like kate ? sonny : nah . she 's still connie through and through . i mean , you know , she 's a little more vulnerable , a little more human ... more of a real person . anna : person you could care about ? connie : so , how long is he paying you to babysit ? olivia : i 'll stay here till sonny gets back . connie : sonny 's coming back ? olivia : he did n't want to leave in the first place . connie : you know , he surprised me . after all the abuse that i heaped on him , i think he 'd be the last person that would ever want to stick with me . he sat with me through the trey nightmare , and he took me home . he sat with me . olivia : mother of god . connie : what ? olivia : do you have feelings for sonny ? sonny : what ? anna : you know what . do you have feelings for connie ? sonny : i have feelings for kate . anna : well , yeah . i understand that . but technically , they 're the same person , are n't they ? i mean , they 're just part of a subconscious . sonny : yeah . but i love kate , and she 's the one i proposed to . she 's the one that i want to spend the rest of my life with . and i 'll do anything to get her back . anna : even getting close to connie ? sonny : well , i thought if i flirt -- flirted with her a little bit that she would get , you know , let her guards down and -- and she would relax . anna : and kate would reemerge . oh , i do n't know . that 's a dangerous game . sonny : well , i 'm running out of options here , 'cause everything i 've tried has not worked . i mean , i -- you know , i - i 've been hanging out with her a little bit , and , uh , um , i - i thought i was getting somewhere , and then i even agreed to ... [ laughs ] i even agreed to do a photo shoot . anna : well , that 's interesting . sonny : do n't get too excited , 'cause it did n't happen . anna : why ? sonny : that was new year 's eve . anna : car accident . yeah . so , now you 're not playing with her , do you feel that you see connie in a different light ? how does she see you ? do you know ? connie : you 're tripping , cous . olivia : uh , no . connie : me ? you think i have feelings for sonny ? olivia : stranger things have happened , you know ? connie : no , i do n't hate him like i used to . that 's all . olivia : sonny 's a pretty good - looking guy . connie : no . he 's okay . olivia : mm - hmm . connie : you know ? he 's got that thing he does where he 's rough and sweet at the same time . at least that 's what he wants me to think . olivia : what does that even mean ? connie : it means that i 'm not an idiot , liv , and i know exactly what he 's doing . he 's trying to be all nice to me because he wants kate to come out , you know ? olivia : when i first got here , sonny was only concerned about you . he did n't even ask about kate . connie : oh , yeah ? olivia : yeah . connie : you gon na make me some food or what ? olivia : yeah . what do you want ? connie : surprise me . sonny : connie has n't pushed me away , if that 's what you 're asking . but that could change , you know , once the mourning period 's over . anna : i do n't know . maybe . maybe not . sonny : it does n't matter 'cause it 's not gon na happen . i mean , me and kate -- i mean , connie . sometimes i forget . uh , it 's just , it sounds crazy , but , to me , it would seem like i 'm cheating on kate . anna : that does n't sound crazy . not to me , because that 's -- that 's kind of how i feel about the whole `` falling for duke `` thing , you know . that 's what i feel . sonny : well , you should n't be so hard on yourself 'cause you did n't know . anna : yeah , but ... anyway , i think we got off track here a little bit . um , i just called you in to tell you about faison and that , you know , this investigation against jason 's disappearance is now officially closed . sam has been notified . she can take the steps to ... have him declared dead . sonny : all right . thanks for letting me know . anna : yeah . sonny ... i am sorry for your loss . sonny : take care . anna : you , too . [ door closes ] [ cell phone ringing ] duke : it went straight to her voicemail . mac : well , that 's okay , you know . but keep trying till you talk to her . you should be talking to anna , not us . felicia : that 's right . and you know you can come to us if you need to talk to us . duke : thank you . i 'm just -- i 'm just afraid that i 've -- i do n't want to put too much pressure on her and push her further away . felicia : well , you ca n't just sit with this . mac : you listen to felicia . she 's the relationship guru . felicia : i 'd like to think that i 've learned from my mistakes . nothing bad will come if you 're honest with the person that you care about . duke : [ sighs ] maxie : if i tell spinelli that i 'm carrying his child , he 's gon na feel responsible and want to do the right thing . britt : he 'd marry you ? maxie : yes . he 's old - fashioned like that . britt : well , is that something you want ? maxie : i mean , yeah . i love him . i want to be with him forever . britt : okay . maxie : but not like this . i do n't want him to feel forced into it by my fetus . britt : [ sighs ] it 's your body , maxie . it 's your decision . maxie : and that 's great and everything . but what i really need is for somebody just to tell me what to do , like , right now . pretend you 're me . what 's your next move ? britt : i 'd want the man to know if he fathered my child , no matter who he was . do you know where spinelli is ? maxie : probably here . his girlfriend was in an accident , and he 's with her 24/7 . britt : oh , that 's horrible . maxie : does that change your mind ? would you still tell him ? britt : [ scoffs ] it would n't make it easier , but i would still tell him . maxie : then i guess that 's what i 'm gon na do . steven : [ clears throat ] if now 's a good time , i 'd like to talk to you about future treatment and conduct a complete exam before i schedule you for p.t . ellie : yeah . now 's as good a time as any . spinelli : how about i go get that champagne you requested ? steven : uh , not to rain on your parade , buddy , but i do n't think that 's such a good idea . we 're trying to keep her senses sharp , not dull them . spinelli : that 's an excellent -- ellie : i am more in the mood for ice cream anyway . spinelli : all right . well , the jackal is on the case . hi . maxie : hey . i thought i would find you here . spinelli : i have the most incredible news . maxie : so do i . maxie : um , maybe we should go sit down . spinelli : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't have time . i have to -- i have to go find a celebratory confection . maxie : celebratory ? spinelli : yeah . ellie 's gon na be up and walking in no time . maxie : wow . so she 's not paralyzed ? spinelli : no . and -- and with proper therapy , i mean , she will recover full use of her legs . i mean , is n't that -- is n't that incredible ? maxie : yeah , that -- that is . that 's great news . spinelli : and i 'm sorry if this is strange to say , but ... i - i - i feel closer ... i - i feel closer than ever to ellie . maxie : yeah , you -- spinelli : and it 's not because i 'm getting over you or it 's not because of the guilt that i feel over her injury . it 's ... it 's just because of her and because of who we are together . and -- and thank you so much for our conversation earlier , because it makes me feel so great to be able to share that . but i 'm sorry . i babbled . what -- what is it that you have to tell me ? mac : are you worried about maxie ? felicia : always . i have n't been able to support her through this pregnancy like i should have . mac : well , you were sick , and she 's barely pregnant . felicia : i know , but ever since i 've been better , i 've tried to reach out . i 've asked her to go out to tea . i 've asked her to go shopping for maternity clothes . she has n't been very receptive to that . mac : [ scoffs ] to shopping ? felicia : i know . mac : look , maxie 's got a lot going on , to put it mildly . she 's probably just overwhelmed . felicia : it just seems like ever since the new year , she 's been blowing me off . what if there 's something she 's not telling me ? mac : [ sighs ] britt : maxie . maxie : oh , hey . sorry . i did n't see you . i have to go . britt : hey . did you see spinelli ? maxie : yes , i saw spinelli , and i told him i had some incredible news . britt : okay . and then what ? maxie : and then i made up a cringe - worthy lie and bailed . britt : okay . let 's take spinelli out of the equation for one second . maxie : gladly . britt : you 're pregnant . maxie : i 'm aware of that . britt : with your own baby . which means carrying a baby for dante and lulu is no longer an option . steven : i will call the physical therapist now . the sooner you 're up and around , the better . ellie : great . steven : i hope you know how lucky you are . ellie : i do . oh . you could n't find any ice cream . [ chuckles ] spinelli : my apologies . i embarked on my quest and ran into a distraction . ellie : oh . what kind of distraction ? spinelli : maxie . it appeared she had something important to tell me , but oddly , it turned out to be nothing . ellie : well , i 'm sure she just forgot . spinelli : i should n't have brought her up . ellie : no . no . you 've assured me repeatedly that there 's nothing going on between you and maxie except friendship . and since there are no longer any secrets between you and me ... spinelli : that 's ... not entirely accurate . ellie : what do you mean ? spinelli : ellie , there 's something you need to know . connie : i 'm really not in the mood for this , liv . olivia : look at it as a public service . connie : right . 'cause i miss generosity . olivia : i need to brush up . 10 bucks says it 'll take your mind off things . connie : fine . olivia : okay . connie : okay . olivia : one , two ... both : cha - cha - cha . three , four ... connie : get your elbow up . olivia : what ? connie : there you go . olivia : five , six ... connie : what the hell are you doing ? olivia : i do n't know ! i told you i do n't know how to do this . i 'm sorry . i stink . connie : you do n't stink . we 've done this before . sonny : excuse me . excuse me . connie : [ laughs ] sonny : did i miss something ? both : no . olivia : no . sonny : oh . i thought -- olivia : nothing . i just , uh ... i 'm glad you came back . i got to meet steve at the hospital . thanks for the dance , you . connie : see you . olivia : see you . sonny : everything okay ? olivia : yeah . it was good . for both of us . sonny : everything , uh ... you feeling all right ? connie : yeah . sonny : need anything ? connie : why you being so nice to me ? anna : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] luke : slim . anna : oh , god . luke . luke : long time no see .

[ sighs ] [ chuckles ] anna : ooh . luke : ooh , ooh . watch , watch . watch the arm . anna : are you still hurt ? luke : oh , no . i am so much better now . anna : oh , luke . i was so worried about you . you have no idea . luke : yeah , well , i - i think i do have some kind of an idea . well , you got to fill me in , though . you say robert was hurt ? anna : it 's bad . i - i did n't want to tell you over the phone , but ... robert 's in a coma . luke : a coma ? anna : yeah . holly 's with him . luke : how did it happen ? anna : it was , uh , that woman at the clinic . she injured him . do you remember dr. obrecht ? luke : oh , god , yes . that 's a character you do n't easily forget . what were you doing back there ? duke : rescuing me . mac : do n't take it personal . i have n't seen much of maxie since the new year , either . felicia : you think i should back off ? mac : might not be a bad idea . felicia : yeah . she has been going through all those hormonal changes and ... mac : and the fear that she 's gon na give birth to a dog . felicia : [ gasps ] [ laughs ] you 're terrible . mac : and you 're gorgeous . hmm . maxie : i am such a horrible person . britt : no , you 're not . maxie : yes , i am . i have n't for one second thought about what this is gon na do to dante and lulu . britt : it 's a lot , maxie . i mean , you 're taking it one issue at a time . there are several to consider . maxie : yeah , and several people . ellie : does this something have to do with maxie ? spinelli : look , ellie ... i - i would n't feel right moving forward with you , and believe me , that is precisely why -- ellie : okay , you 're scaring me . will you just -- will you just tell me what it is ? spinelli : it happened on new year 's eve . ellie : okay . well , you already told me that you spent the night with maxie . spinelli : yes . but what i did n't tell you is ... i slept with her . ellie : [ exhales ] britt : take some time to process your situation . but not too much . decisions need to be made . maxie : okay , but in -- in the meantime , this is just between you and me , right ? britt : absolutely . maxie : i ca n't -- i mean , i .. i do n't even know where i would start . britt : my suggestion is to figure out what you 're gon na tell dante and lulu . lulu : hi . dante : hey . lulu : tell dante and lulu what ? | an official at the turkish prison tells dante and lulu that luke was shot during an uprising . lulu wants to see his body , but luke enters the room with a sling on his left arm . lulu tells luke about duke really being faison in disguise . mac , felicia , and duke discuss lucy 's commitment to ferncliff . felicia asks duke what has him preoccupied . he says he was thinking about anna recoiling when she sees him because she thinks of faison . he is also concerned about anna 's relationship with luke . mac says duke should talk to anna about it . anna tells sonny that faison was behind jason 's shooting and kristina 's kidnapping . she tells him that faison was impersonating duke , but the duke that is in port charles now is the real duke , rescued from faison . sonny thinks it is great that anna and duke can be together again . she tells him that she ca n't help seeing faison when she looks at duke . sonny empathizes , saying he sees kate when he looks at connie . anna asks him if he is beginning to care about connie . he says he loves kate and he was trying to get close to connie to coax kate out . anna wonders if sonny is no longer playing with connie . sonny says he would feel like he was cheating on kate . anna says that she feels the same way about duke . luke returns to port charles and immediately goes to anna 's office . he asks about robert . she tells him that robert is in a coma , thanks to dr. obrecht . luke wonders why anna was at that clinic again . duke enters and says anna was there to rescue him . |

[ chuckles ] because just when patrick and i thought that everything was gon na be okay ... sabrina : i 'm so sorry , you guys . i know . i - i can explain why -- robin : can explain why britt 's iron maiden of a mother is now general hospital 's new chief of staff ? nikolas : wait . your mother , the international criminal , is now general hospital 's new chief of staff ? you 're kidding , right ? britt : would i joke about something like this ? lulu : is n't she in jail ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] yeah . britt : yeah . she was , briefly . apparently , the wsb awarded her full immunity from prosecution . nikolas : that 's -- that 's impossible . britt : well , she had official documentation . plus the chairman of the board was there to vouch for her . nikolas : okay , okay . so , she not only walked on multiple felony accounts , she 's running the hospital now ? britt : yep . she 's my boss . nikolas : the only place that that woman is fit to run is hell . britt : yeah , well , soon enough , she 'll turn g.h . into that , too . michael : franco texted you ? dante : what does it say ? kiki : uh , `` i need help . meet me outside kelly 's in 10 . `` michael : bastard thinks she 'd actually do that ? dante : can i , uh , have your phone for a second ? kiki : sure . dante : on ... my ... way . i need to borrow your phone . michael : all right . i 'm coming with you . dante : no , actually , michael , you 're not . you 're staying here . michael : she 's my mom . i need to know she 's okay . dante : all right . you know what ? i do n't have time to argue with you . you 'll stay out of it , though , until i tell you it 's clear . you got it ? michael : i got it . okay . dante : let 's go . kiki : michael , be careful . michael : i will . i promise . kiki : franco , what the hell was that ? franco : are you kidding ? what that was is amazing . kiki : do you have any idea what a horrible position you just put me in ? ! emma : spencer is n't coming out . i do n't hear anything anymore . do you ? we need to go in after him . cameron : no , we do n't . emma : come on . together . cameron : okay . together . emma : [ sighs ] spencer ? spencer : who are you and what are you doing on my property ? patrick : obrecht waltzed into the conference room like she owned the place . robin : [ chuckling ] well , she basically does . i mean , now she 's your boss . thank god that i did n't sign a contract . i mean , the last thing i need is more abuse from the woman that held me captive for two years . elizabeth : but , robin , she kidnapped you . robin : and it was n't just me . she helped faison escape from prison . she put my dad in a coma . she tried to kill duke . i - i do n't know . she bought her freedom . i do n't know how she did it , but she did it . patrick : and now she owns the place . felix : life , as we know it , is over . we are screwed , sabrina . elizabeth : i really thought one of you would be picked . [ cell phone chimes ] patrick : wait . you did n't know about obrecht ? elizabeth : no . it 's unbelievable . patrick : then what were you just about to tell me ? elizabeth : oh , uh ... god . it 's kind of unexpected , but i 'm sure you 're gon na understand . robin : patrick , uh -- sorry . my mom just texted . she wants us to come to her office . maybe she can tell us how this happened and how to deal with obrecht . patrick : okay . all right . um , we 're gon na take off . it 's , uh -- i 'll just see you guys in a bit . felix : okay . that 's the first and last time i 'm happy to hear the name obrecht . you dodged the baby - reveal bullet this time , but what about next time when there 's no obrecht ? sabrina : what will it take for me to convince you not to tell patrick that i 'm having his baby ? nikolas : [ sighs ] so , the g.h . chairman was not available to speak with me . but i contacted some of the other board members , and i was n't the only one he did n't consult before hiring your mother . apparently , he made a unilateral decision . but do n't worry . i 'll fix this , okay ? britt : thank you , nikolas . lulu : i hope there 's something you can do . obrecht has no business running a hospital . britt : maybe you can see if dante can look into it . i 'm sure there 's some way we can get her locked up again . lulu : i 'm sorry . i -- dante and i are n't together right now . britt : what ? why ? what -- what happened ? lulu : after we found out that we could never have a baby , i just , uh -- i needed some time away from him . britt : well , this is my fault . dante : anything ? there 's no sign of franco , detective . nothing . dante : no , huh ? all right . why do n't you guys go on inside and ask some of the people in there and see what they 've seen ? [ cell phone rings ] dante : one second . yeah . falconeri . anna : dante , what have you got ? dante : i 'm sorry , commissioner . we got nothing . franco 's not here despite the text he sent to kiki jerome . franco : i 'm sorry , kiki . i - i did n't want you to have to lie to your boyfriend or your boyfriend 's detective brother . kiki : why did you think i would lie for you ? how do you know i was n't gon na tell them where you were ? franco : well , you 're right . i should n't assume . kiki : yeah . you should n't assume , franco . franco : look , you were n't gon na tattle on me . if you were , i 'd already be in the back of a squad car trussed up and on my way to jail . i 'm pretty sure you were n't gon na snitch on me . kiki : well , i was trying not to , but i do hate lying to michael , and after finding out that they found your prints on that knife , i 'm -- franco : kiki , someone is setting me up . kiki : and i might be an idiot , but i do actually believe you . i do n't think you kidnapped carly . i think that someone 's trying to frame you . franco : thank you . i ca n't tell you how much it means to me that you 're actually gon na be an idiot and believe me . kiki : okay , but i ca n't keep lying to michael . we need to stop all of this craziness and find out who 's actually doing this to you . heather : put the stick down , young man , and we 'll talk . emma : no . do n't put it down . something 's wrong . we heard someone call for help . start talking , lady . who was it ? cameron : yeah . you heard her . who was it ? heather : who was it ? emma : witch , please . that was the question . heather : it -- it was me . spencer : you ? heather : i was calling for help . spencer : why ? what 's going on in here ? elizabeth : sabrina , i am so sorry , but i just do not feel comfortable keeping patrick in the dark when you are carrying his child . and if it causes problems with robin , well , i believe their marriage is strong enough . they 'll get through it . sabrina : okay , but now , with obrecht here , they have so much to deal with . elizabeth , you saw them . they were traumatized . elizabeth : [ sighs ] felix : i mean , is n't it enough they have to endure that sturdy scourge in the sensible shoes ? sabrina : felix -- felix : i mean , with a face like a hatchet , you know what i 'm saying ? [ chuckles ] sabrina : felix -- felix : and a personality to match , am i right ? sabrina : felix . felix : she 's right behind me , is n't she ? dr. obrecht : yes . the hatchet - faced , sensibly shod , sturdy scourge is indeed standing right behind you . felix : [ clears throat ] anna : okay . keep me current on any developments , then . thanks . robin : mom . anna : hi . hi . oh , you got here . you want to sit down ? this is kind of disturbing -- what i have to tell you . robin : i know . obrecht 's been released . anna : how do you know that ? did the wsb contact you ? patrick : not exactly . anna : i 'm so sorry . robin : what ? anna : yeah . robin : it 's not your fault . anna : yeah . i knew obrecht 's lawyer had put this meeting together with the wsb , but i just presumed that there would be no deal to be made . and that was blatant stupidity on my part . robin : no , mom . do n't say that . anna : i assumed , naively , that justice would be done . because that 's -- that 's why i do all of this . you know , i - i defend the public and i protect the innocent and i get the criminals and have them charged , convicted , and locked away . you do n't know how many times i have to reassure a victim of crime that the law is on their side . and i could n't even do it for my own kid . robin : [ sighs ] mother ... anna : [ chuckles ] robin : it 's bad enough that obrecht is free , okay ? it 's even worse to hear you blame yourself for it . anna : i should have buried her myself . robin : mom , stop . anna : that 's what i should have done . no , you know , because there are ways ... around the judicial process . no , listen to me . because you transfer a prisoner , then you transfer them again , and then maybe , you know , a file gets mislaid or ... a guard complains that he was assaulted , and then the prisoner gets put in super - max . you know , before you know it -- and that 's where obrecht should have been . she should have been at super - max . patrick : well , i 'm sure we all agree , and i wish that that happened , but it 's not worth you compromising yourself . anna : i disagree . because ... if i had actually been there when they released that bitch , she would n't have got more than 10 feet , because i would have taken her down , and i would have kicked her until they pulled me off her . patrick : mm . like mother , like daughter . anna : what does that even mean ? have you seen her ? have you seen obrecht ? robin : you could say that . patrick : obrecht is now the chief of staff at general hospital . dr. obrecht : rule number one , nurse dubois -- do not speak poorly of your superior . felix : i 'm sorry . dr. obrecht : rule number two -- i despise the word `` sorry . `` it is a waste of my time . felix : i 'm s -- never mind . dr. obrecht : i think it 's time for us to get to know each other . i 'm calling a meeting of every available nurse . be prepared to stay until late tonight . i have much to impart . the doctors are not the only staffers who require my brand of tough love . lulu : britt , why would you say that my separation from dante was your fault ? britt : well , i encouraged you to try again to have a child , and i failed to extract new eggs from you . lulu : it is not your fault that i do n't have any . britt : i - i got your hopes up . nikolas : britt , you were just trying to help . there 's no way you could have known that her circumstances had changed . britt : still , i should have stayed out of it . lulu , please , go back to dante . please do n't let the fact that you ca n't have children destroy your marriage . lulu : why do you care so much about my marriage ? no one inside the diner 's seen franco . dante : all right . uh , check the parking lot again . rodriguez , uh , keep an eye on the back . rodriguez : got it . michael : you think it 's started ? dante : what 's that ? michael : you know what -- the games , the clues , sending you to the wrong location , these riddles and puzzles you 're supposed to solve . franco wants you running around in circles desperate to save the person that you love . it 's what makes it fun for him . dante : that 's who franco used to be . michael : used to be ? well , yeah , right . used to be , before he got the brain tumor removed , right ? and suddenly he became a changed person ? except my mom is missing , okay ? and there was a knife found with her blood and franco 's fingerprints on it . and here we are , standing around , chasing a false lead , so tell me -- how has franco changed ? dante : maybe you 're right , michael . you know what ? maybe -- maybe he has n't changed . okay ? but the only way to beat him is to not play by his rules . michael : what do you mean ? dante : i mean , he likes to wind up his targets , get them emotional so they make mistakes . that 's what he wants . he wants the pcpd to look incompetent . he wants carly 's family to be at each other 's throats . michael : what , you think i 'm at your throat ? dante : no . i think you 're pissed off and you 're scared and you have every right to be , but -- but giving in to it does n't do your mother any good . michael : okay . what do you want me to do ? dante : i want you to accept that i 'm a cop and there 's certain rules that i have to follow , but i also have the resources to find this son of a bitch , and i will find him , michael . you and i are on the same side here . michael : okay . dante : did you do what i asked ? michael : yeah , i texted franco . dante : all right . we just got to wait and see if he responds . michael : [ sighs ] franco : dante 's trying to flush me out . he sent another text . kiki : what did he say ? franco : `` cops all over kelly 's . need another place to meet . where are you ? `` well , clearly he has n't captured your voice . look at this . he spelled out `` you `` y - o - u . nobody your age does that . kiki : why are you acting like michael and dante are the bad guys ? all the evidence leads to you being the one who took carly . franco : but i did n't take carly . kiki : and i believe you ... even though a lot of people believe things that turn out to not be true . franco : hold on . what are you -- you 're changing your mind ? you 're having second thoughts ? kiki : i 'm just pointing out that michael has every reason to suspect you , franco , and if it does turn out that you were the one that took carly , i will never forgive myself for helping you . franco : whoa . you are not wrong to help me , okay ? the reasons that michael has for hating me -- i was a different person then . all i want is for carly to come home to me and be safe . but in order for that to happen , i need to figure out who 's setting me up . dante : he 's not answering . michael : you did n't think he would , did you ? dante : no . it was a trick to throw us off . michael : yeah . how did franco know that you were at my place with kiki when he texted her ? dante : yeah . he 's watching her . he texted her to get rid of us . michael : you think he wanted to get her alone ? dante : maybe . maybe kiki and franco teamed up to get rid of us . maybe they 're working together . kiki : [ sighs ] franco : it has to be ava . it has to be your mother . ava threatened carly and then , hours later , carly disappeared . kiki : and i heard her , but i asked my mom if she had anything to do with it , and she swore to me she did n't . franco : what , like a pinkie swear ? kiki : i do n't typically believe her , either . and if she did something to hurt carly , i would n't be surprised , but this whole framing - you thing -- it 's -- i do n't see it . franco : it 's what ? it 's beyond her ? kiki , she allowed me to think that you were my child for almost 20 years , and she would n't even let me see you . there is no limit to ava 's cruelty . kiki : franco , we both have reasons why we would be mad at ava . i get it , okay ? but i do know her better than you do , and for her to write a fake breakup letter from carly to you and then put your fingerprints on a knife -- it just is n't her style . franco : okay . if not her , then who ? kiki : m - maybe some avenging family member from ... someone that you hurt in your past before you changed . franco : okay . that does n't make sense . it would n't be somebody that just hates me . it would have to be somebody that hates me and hates carly . kiki : [ gasps ] hey ! i 'm not the only one with a crazy , evil mother . what about yours ? what about heather webber ? heather : i was screaming because there was something in here . cameron : what ? heather : a - a chupacabra . spencer : what 's that ? heather : oh , it 's a terrible creature . it 's a cross between a coyote and a bear and a monster , and it likes to drink the blood of living things , especially horses and children . emma : where is it now ? heather : i think it ran off into the pasture over there , but you guys better make a break for it . it might come back . spencer : do n't dodge the question , lady . who are you and what are you doing on my property ? cameron : it 's your dad 's property . heather : i 'm the new stable girl . spencer : you are totally lying . there 's no such thing as stable girls . there 's only stable boys . emma : hey , that 's sexist . girls can work in the stable , too . heather : right . girls can do just as good a job as boys can . emma : girl power ! heather : right on , sister ! spencer : you work for my father , and that means you work for me , too . cameron : could you be more of a jerk ? heather : no . mr. cassadine is right . i do work for him , too . is there something you 'd like for me to do ? spencer : yes . judge my duel with cameron . we 're fighting to be emma 's boyfriend . we just need a weapon for cameron . what 's in here ? michael : oh , you think that kiki is protecting franco ? dante : well , you saw them that night in the garage when we found your mother 's car . she was openly defending the guy . michael : yeah . i remember , but -- dante : yeah . and franco was going on about how innocent he was and how worried about your mom he was . you and morgan did n't believe him , but kiki sure did . michael : come on . she was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt . dante : okay , maybe it was something more than that . that text on kiki 's phone came within minutes of me getting to your place . think about it , michael . could kiki be helping franco ? britt : i spent a lot of time with you and dante while maxie was pregnant . you two are like the poster couple for marriage . you make it look so easy , so everyone can see how much you loved each other . lulu : yeah . we were ... really happy . we were about to be parents . britt : i know you 've lost a lot , but that 's why you should hold on to what you still have . lulu : i just have a lot i need to work through . britt : maybe you should do that with dante . lulu : i need to get back to my aunt . um , we 're waiting on news about carly , so ... nikolas : we 're both hoping that she comes home safely , and remember , if you need anything , okay ? lulu : thank you . nikolas : and think about what britt said about dante , 'cause i want my sister happy . lulu : [ chuckles ] ben : [ babbling ] lulu : i had so much fun hanging out with you , baby ben . such a sweet baby . almost as sweet as connie . uh , bye . britt : bye . nikolas : thank you for encouraging her . britt : oh , i just feel so bad for her . nikolas : i know . britt : i mean , here i am -- i have ben ... and you . nikolas : do n't forget about spencer . he 's crazy about you . britt : [ chuckles ] where is spencer ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] he 's outside with cameron and emma . britt : oh , really ? i did n't see them when i came up from the launch . nikolas : oh . well , maybe they , uh , came in through the kitchen . spencer knows that alfred always has hot chocolate ready . i 'll go see , okay ? britt : okay . [ sighing ] oh , god , ben . what did my mother and i do ? dr. obrecht : personal items in the work area are verboten . whose are these ? elizabeth : that 's mine . i brought it up from the lockers because i have to go pick up my son from a play date . dr. obrecht : is your shift over ? elizabeth : uh , yes . well , technically , no , because i have 10 minutes left . dr. obrecht : then your pay must be docked . elizabeth : are you kidding ? dr. obrecht : you will know when i am kidding . next time , make another arrangement for you child . you ! [ snaps ] petite pink dust mop . you ruined my daughter 's chances with patrick . patrick : then in walks obrecht , prim and proper in her white lab coat and glasses like she owned the place . robin : it was surreal . i - i really -- i thought i was losing my mind . anna : god , i ca n't even imagine . robin : they say that 's what happens to people with ptsd . not that i have it . i just -- i may have looked up the symptoms , you know , just in case . patrick : you did n't tell me that . robin : because i did n't want you to worry and because i do n't have any symptoms . i do n't have nightmares or anxiety attacks or hallucinations or any of that , but i have to tell you -- [ chuckles ] when obrecht came in and she made her announcement , i thought , `` okay . yep . this is it . this is where i lose my mind , so i might as well make a quiet exit before anyone notices . `` and then this guy yells , `` this woman is no doctor ! `` patrick : i should have yelled louder . i mean , i should have been the one in there in -- anna : but you took the honors , i take it . robin : oh , yeah . i got my fingers around her throat . anna : oh , good . patrick : [ chuckles ] anna : i wish i had been there to see it . actually , i wish i had been there to help you . that would have been better . robin : [ chuckles ] yes , but then you would have been arrested by your own cops . kind of embarrassing . anna : are you all right ? robin : yeah . i - i 'm okay . i mean , it 's unfair . it 's [ chuckles ] so frustrating , but compared to being locked away , away from my family for two years , dealing with obrecht is like a walk in the park . patrick : [ chuckles ] anna : but even so , though , i mean , if -- if obrecht 's gon na be the chief of staff , the board ca n't possibly expect you to work for someone who held you prisoner . robin : well , there is one piece of good news in all of this . i did not sign a contract . i 'm not a g.h . staffer , and i will not be one . i will not work for obrecht . unfortunately , patrick does n't have a choice . patrick : i do have a contract . not knowing that i was going to be working with a psychopath criminal . hopefully a lawyer can nullify it if need be . anna : forget that . i mean , the whole is patently absurd . g.h . is a very respected hospital . why on earth would they put obrecht in charge ? i just do n't understand it . patrick : that 's what we were hoping you could tell us . michael : okay , yeah . you 're right . that night in the garage , kiki believed that franco was innocent , but the knife -- the knife changes everything . my mom 's blood is on it . franco 's fingerprints are on the handle . i mean , there 's no way she 's gon na cover for him or even defend him now . dante : are you sure ? because she did n't answer me when i asked her if he 'd been in touch with her . michael : yeah . i 'm sure . look , and if franco was watching the apartment , i better go check on her . dante : hey , well , hold up . hold up . i 'm gon na hang on to kiki 's phone in case he reaches out again . michael : all right . let me know if you find anything out . dante : i will . kiki : of course . it has to be heather who 's framing you . she threatened carly at your -- it was her -- uh , her art - gallery thing , right ? the only thing is that you are her son , and she seems to sort of love you . heather : [ groans ] franco : it - it 's not heather . she 's not behind this . it 's just not possible . kiki : what makes you so sure ? heather : wait . [ chuckles ] what 's all this talk about weapons ? are you two really gon na fight over who gets emma ? cameron : yes . so she 'll be with the best man -- me . spencer : i 'm stronger than you are , cam ! cameron : i 'm gon na kick your butt , cassa - heiny ! spencer : you 'll see . emma will be mine . heather : hey , emma . are you really into this -- letting two boys decide if you 're gon na be their girlfriend and you get no say ? emma : i like them both . i ca n't choose . heather : so , you 're just gon na go with the one that 's stronger and bigger and more violent ? that 's not girl power , emma . making your own decisions -- that 's girl power . emma : it is , is n't it ? if you two fight , i wo n't date either of you . spencer : how will i win her ? heather : be creative . cameron : what 's that mean ? [ clattering ] emma : what was that ? britt : hello , elizabeth . elizabeth : hello . so , i just had my first run in with my new boss ... who also happens to be your mother . britt : well , do n't look at me . i did n't have anything to do with it . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] of course not . why would you have anything to do with your own mother ? britt : i do n't . elizabeth : you 're such a liar . god only knows what the two of you are cooking up . dr. obrecht : i 'll be addressing your performance reviews at the meeting . let 's see how you do now that you 're no longer involved with one of the hospital 's best surgeons . sabrina : my relationship with patrick was never a factor in my work here . felix : with all due respect , dr. ob -- dr. obrecht : any sentence that begins with those words is inevitably followed by an offensive statement . but go on . felix : all nurses report to the head nurse , epiphany johnson . she 's the one who does our performance evaluations . dr. obrecht : and to whom do you think she answers ? i am her superior . you all follow my rules . felix : or what ? you 're gon na arrange an explosion , make everything think we 're dead ? dr. obrecht : yes . britt : i do n't want my mother anywhere near my life . elizabeth : correct me if i 'm wrong , but is n't she the same person you were trying to protect when the police were gon na arrest her when she tried to kill duke lavery and the same person who held robin hostage for almost two years while you were chasing after her husband ? would n't surprise me if you knew she had robin the whole time . britt : i did n't . shut the hell up , okay ? nikolas : oh , ho , ho , ho , ho . hey . what 's going on ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] forget it . i just want to get cameron and go home . where is he ? nikolas : i thought they were in the kitchen , but they have n't come inside yet . i 'll go round them up unless you need me here to referee . elizabeth : no . no . we 're fine . britt : hey , put a coat on . it 's cold outside . cameron : that was a really weird sound . heather : it was a horse . spencer : that was not a horse . heather : oh , no . that was the sound of the chupacabra . it must have been hiding in here . you better go before it attacks . cameron : come on , emma . spencer : let 's go . heather : no , no , no , no , no . you -- boss boy . spencer : you can call me prince . heather : okay . please do n't tell your father , prince . please . he 'll fire me ... for letting in the chupacabra . spencer : well , is n't that your fault ? heather : yeah . but , uh -- emma , please tell him . we do n't want his dad to think that girls ca n't do as good a job as a boy can . girl power . emma : [ sighs ] she 's right . you should n't say anything . cameron : yeah . do n't be a snitch . spencer : let 's get out of here . emma : bye . heather : bye . [ sighs ] well , there wo n't be any girl power for you , you twit ... only this . franco : it 's not my cuckoo mother , kiki . she 's locked up tight . kiki : yeah , but she 's escaped before , like during the art show . we should go check and miscavige and see if she 's there . franco : oh , she 's definitely there . yeah . after the gallery show , my brand - new dear , old dad , the d.a . -- he saw to it personally that she was locked up , maximum style . kiki : i could have sworn it was her . franco : yeah . it was a good idea . kiki : but it was wrong , so now we 're not even close to finding out who 's doing this to you . franco : we ? you 're the only person in the world that seems to believe me right now . i ca n't tell you how much that means to me . kiki : if michael comes back , we 're gon na be toast , so you need to get out of here . franco : okay . thank you . really . thank you for covering for me . [ keys rattling ] michael : [ knocks on door ] kiki , why is the door locked ? dante : franco is not at kelly 's . it was a misdirection . but i think i know who 's behind it . i just need to look into it a little bit more first . anna : just keep on it , okay ? dante : i will . i 'll be in touch . lulu . lulu : dante . dante : what are you doing here ? lulu : trying to get my aunt bobbie to eat something . she and i have been staying at carly 's , trying to keep her spirits up . i 'm not doing the greatest job . any word ? dante : uh , i thought so , but it was -- turned out to be a false lead . your aunt 's got to be , you know , pretty happy to have you around , right ? lulu : we 're just taking turns pacing in circles . dante : but it must help , you know , keep her from losing it while carly 's missing . lulu : actually , i do n't think she 'd notice if i was there or not . [ chuckles ] dante : well , if that 's the case , uh , and this is selfish of me , but , uh ... are you ever coming home ? patrick : after obrecht 's crimes , how was she not only released from prison but given a job as g.h . 's chief of staff ? robin : yeah , mom . how does this happen ? anna : i have no idea . i have frisco looking in to it , but he tells me that obrecht 's case is being handled by the highest ranks of the wsb . patrick : is n't the wsb 's job to put criminals like this away ? not only are they working together , they 're releasing her out onto the street , giving her a job . does n't that make the wsb just as criminal as her ? anna : yeah . i 've been having similar thoughts myself , but i do n't think the wsb wants to hear it from me . basically , what we have here is an ends - justify- the - means situation . they have let obrecht go for the greater good . patrick : [ chuckles ] robin : but that 's crazy , because nothing good can come out of obrecht being free . anna : she must have had some information they wanted . robin : information ? like what ? anna : i do n't know . whatever it was , it was extremely important . and it could impact many lives . sabrina : you 're really going to make us disappear ? dr. obrecht : as i said , i 'll tell you when i 'm joking , and that was a joke . there wo n't be any explosions or false deaths as long as we all delve into our work with vigor and a quest for perfection . felix : okay . tell me this is n't happening . sabrina : oh , it 's happening , fee . you want to know what else is happening ? elizabeth is gon na tell patrick that i 'm having his baby . elizabeth : maybe i 'll just get cameron myself . nikolas : no . i 'll get him . finally , spencer . where were you ? spencer : in the stables . nikolas : everything okay out there ? dante : i miss you . lulu : dante ... i need to talk to you . hey , detective . no sign of franco . you want us to stay ? dante : uh , just one minute , okay ? i 'll be with you in one minute . lulu : it 's not a good time . dante : it 's not -- it 's not really a good time . but , uh ... we 'll talk soon , okay ? lulu : okay . okay . dante . take care of yourself . dante : you , too . [ door rattling ] kiki : hi . sorry about the door . what -- what happened ? michael : uh , franco was n't at kelly 's . kiki : he was n't ? but -- but he texted me . michael : it was a setup . it 's what he does . he leads you in the wrong direction . kiki : i 'm sorry . michael : you did n't hear from him again , did you ? i mean , he did n't -- he did n't e - mail you or call the landline ? kiki : no . michael : and if he , uh , did show up here , you would have told me , right ? kiki : right . nikolas : hey . i asked you a question . spencer . hey . look at me . did something happen down at the stables ? emma : they were gon na fight a duel . nikolas : a duel , huh ? spencer : for emma 's hand . elizabeth : [ chuckling ] okay , guys . i do n't think that 's a very good idea , right ? nikolas : no , no , no . there will be no dueling . is that clear ? spencer : no dueling . nikolas : okay . elizabeth : and the same goes for you , all right , cameron ? cameron : it was spencer 's idea . elizabeth : well ... nikolas : come here . listen , i need to know the next time you go down to the stables . all right ? you have to be careful . between the horses and all the equipment down there , you can get hurt . heather : you have been nothing but trouble for me -- trouble with a capital `` t `` which rhymes with `` c `` which stands for carly . i have had it ! i am done . you are not worth the trouble . carly : [ muffled ] no . heather : bye - bye . carly : [ groans ] | emma , cameron , and spencer hear carly screaming for help . they go into the stable and find heather alone . she says she was screaming because she saw a chupacabra . spencer demands to know who she is and why she is there . heather says she is the stable hand . spencer accepts that answer and turns his attention to finding a stick for cameron so they can duel over emma . heather tells emma that letting the boys fight to decide who will be her boyfriend is n't girl power , making her own choice is girl power . emma agrees and tells the boys that if they fight , she wo n't have either of them . the kids hear a crashing noise from the back room when carly overturns the wicker trunk that heather had put her in . heather says it is the chupacabra and that they should leave before it gets them . she asks them not to tell spencer 's father that she let the monster into the stable or he will fire her . heather injects carly with something . |
maxie : laying here with you ... it 's like the most amazing thing in the world . nathan : [ speaking french ] maxie : did you just you wish you did n't have to leave ? nathan : have you been secretly taking french classes , or you just understood this the whole time ? maxie : no , um , when i worked for crimson , i would have to deal with all the paris fashion houses all the time , and even though everybody over there speaks english , they like to torture the american assistants by pretending that they do n't . nathan : awesome . so you 're secretly fluent . maxie : no , no , no . i know how to tell someone to hold , confirm runway seating , and turn a guy down for a date . nathan : oh . well , then , there 's one more phrase i need you to learn in french . [ speaking french ] maxie : something about ... happy , but the rest , i 'm not so sure . it 's a good thing we have the entire afternoon for a tutorial . we do n't even have to get out of bed ! nathan : yeah , you do n't . i got to go back to work in an hour . maxie : what ? that is so unfair . why do you keep picking up extra shifts at work ? nathan : what can i say ? port charles crime never sleeps . maxie : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] jordan : good . good , good , good . just keep it moving . at this rate , we should have everything delivered to the warehouse in about an hour . everything seems to be moving smoothly . duke : well done , jordan . thank you . jordan : thank you . shawn , so nice of you to join us . the off - load 's almost complete . shawn : yeah , i got caught up with alexis , and then i got a call from sonny . jordan : mm . about what ? what did sonny want ? sonny : you 're quoting bible passages about the sins of the father being visited on the sons ? is that -- is that code for `` i 'm not luke spencer `` ? 'cause i know that , you know , luke would n't go anywhere near a bible . he 's a dedicated atheist . fluke : you 're missing the point here , corinthos . i 'm not quoting the good book . when i say that the sons will pay for the sins of the fathers , i 'm making a real , practical statement . think hard . i 'm sure a wise guy like you can figure out what i mean . michael : hey , lucas . lucas : hey . michael : you have a minute ? i want to talk to you about the clinic . [ cell phone rings ] lucas : yeah , sure . michael : sorry . one second . lucas : oh . yeah . go ahead . michael : alexis ? alexis : hey , michael . i just wanted you to know that i just served shawn with the restraining order . michael : okay . so does that mean if shawn follows me to the old spencer house again , i can actually have him arrested ? alexis : you do n't have to worry about it . all right ? he ca n't come within 500 feet of you . michael : thank you , alexis . i really appreciate you handling this so quickly . alexis : okay . i also want you to know that he 's insisting that he broke in to that house for your own well - being . michael : right . is that all he said ? alexis : well , i could n't get him to explain any more , but you know what ? there may be reason for concern , so i just want you to be careful . michael : [ sighs ] i will , but i think you 're worrying about nothing . alexis : well , i hope so . all right ? you take care . bye . sam : mom ? alexis : hey ! how are you ? sam : good . alexis : i was just about to leave , but if you 're free , i would love to have lunch with my daughter and ... find out all about last night with patrick . patrick : what do you mean jake had an episode ? elizabeth : all i can tell you is that a cop found him unconscious on the docks this morning . he had a huge gash on his head . he could 've passed out . patrick : did he tell you what happened , or is he still unconscious ? elizabeth : no , he has no idea how he ended up on the docks . in fact , he seems a little fuzzy about the details of what exactly happened last night . carly : this is your bag , right ? jason : i guess . i had it on me when the paramedics found me . carly : okay . jason : find the figurine ? carly : found this . why do you have a gun ? patrick : i know jake 's been struggling with some memory issues . he came to talk to me about them , but by the end of our conversation , he was n't too worried about them . elizabeth : and now he 's in the hospital . patrick : has he had any other problems ? elizabeth : this is the first i 've heard of memory issues . nothing like this happened when he was staying with me . patrick : really ? that makes me wonder . elizabeth : what ? patrick : maybe sam 's right . maybe jake is the man that took her hostage . jason : i do n't know how that got in there . that 's not mine . carly : this is your bag . i saw it in your room at the metro court . jason : yeah , that 's my bag , but that 's not my gun . could you be careful with that thing , please ? carly : look , after years with sonny and jason , i know how to handle a gun . the serial number 's been scratched off . why do you have an illegal gun ? jason : i do n't . i do n't . i - i -- someone had to put that in there . carly : okay . who would do that and why ? jason : i have no idea . apparently , i spent the entire night passed out on the docks , so anybody could have stashed a gun on my body . carly : why would they bother , jake ? why ? if someone wanted to get rid of a gun , they could 've chucked it in the water . so you 're saying that someone purposely put this in your bag , so that makes it personal . jason : well , it 's not like i can tell you if anybody from my past has a grudge against me , okay ? i still ca n't remember a damn thing since before the accident . carly : all right , think . think for a second . where did you go yesterday with this bag ? jason : [ mumbling ] just the boxing gym you told me about . i left the bag in the locker room for about an hour while i worked out . carly : okay . well , that 's plenty of time for someone to stick this in your bag , right ? so maybe you were n't the target . maybe they just put the gun in a random locker . jason : does that happen a lot in gyms around here ? carly : i 'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt , okay ? jason : i appreciate that , but i think i would 've noticed that gun when i put my workout clothes in there . carly : well , you know what ? these are n't workout clothes . alexis : okay . i know what i want . tell me everything . i saw that he brought a bottle of wine , so i skedaddled out of there as fast as i could . sam : are you sure you want to hear all the details ? because the way you skedaddled out of the house so fast , i got the impression that you do n't want to hear anything about my love life -- out of sight , out of mind . alexis : no , no , no . i was trying to protect your privacy . you know , with danny and monica 's and molly in manhattan , the last thing a guy wants to see when he goes to his girlfriend 's house is her mother , so i left , fast , and i know it 's a big deal for you . sam : oh , thank you . and thanks again for your support . alexis : i just want you to be happy . sam : okay . alexis : and i want you to tell me everything . sam : all right . so , um , after you left , patrick asked me why you ran out the door the way that you did , and i said that you were really uncomfortable that he was spending the night . alexis : okay . well , maybe i do n't want to hear all the details . how about just a nice overview ? how was it ? sam : [ breathes deeply ] it was wonderful . alexis : i knew that it would be . did he like your cooking ? sam : he did . alexis : i knew that , too . i knew that . sam : really ? because you were incredibly supportive about not hearing the fire trucks outside . alexis : i kid out of love . sam : i know . alexis : so , after dinner ... ? sam : yes , he spent the night . alexis : [ gasps ] and ? sam : and it was wonderful . alexis : oh . sam : ah ! dah ! do n't ! do n't you dare high - five me . alexis : i was just stretching . i 'm so happy for you . sam : i know . thank you . alexis : so , uh , was it everything that you hoped it would be ? sam : like i said , yes , it was wonderful , mom . alexis : and no awkwardness in the morning ? sam : no . alexis : oh . well ... alexis : what ? oh , god . what ? what ? sam : i mean ... yes , but not what you think , and it had nothing to do with patrick . my phoenix is missing . it disappeared . shawn : yeah , sonny was just checking in . you know , wanted to make sure that there were n't any problems with the shipment . jordan : well , none so far , which you would 've known that had you showed up on time . shawn : [ chuckles ] jordan : i 'm gon na go check on the guys , make sure none of the goods were damaged . duke : good idea . i get the sense you did n't want to tell me exactly what sonny said in front of jordan . shawn : yeah , sonny gave me explicit instructions not to involve anyone else if i do n't have to . duke : well , it 's just the two of us . what did he say ? shawn : well , it turns out faison wearing a luke mask was just a decoy . duke : excuse me ? shawn : our enemy 's still out there , masquerading as luke spencer , and sonny thinks he knows who he is . fluke : you still there , corinthos ? i did n't lose you to solitary confinement , did i ? [ chuckles ] so ... what are michael and lucas up to these days ? sonny : stay the hell away from michael , and stay the hell away from lucas . fluke : and if i do n't ? what are you and jerome gon na do about it ? lucas : there you are , sir . michael : thanks , man . i needed this . lucas : yeah , well , do n't thank me yet . it 's hospital coffee . michael : oh , thanks for the warning . lucas : yeah . but is everything okay ? i could n't help but overhear you talking about somebody following you . michael : yeah , uh , sonny had his enforcer , shawn , follow me . i put a stop to it . lucas : wait . what ? what do you mean ? michael : i caught shawn snooping around grandma 's old house -- the property i want to use for the aj . quartermaine clinic . i wanted to arrest shawn for trespassing , but the house is in bill eckert 's name , so i could n't , so ... i filed a restraining order . lucas : why was sonny having you followed ? michael : i do n't know . i do n't care . maybe he thought he was doing it to protect me , but ... i do n't want sonny 's protection . i sure as hell do n't need it . sonny : what am i gon na do about your threats ? i 'll expose you for the fake that you are . how about if i just tell the world you 're not really luke spencer ? i tell you what . even better -- how about if i tell everybody ... that you 're bill eckert ? elizabeth : so , sam convinced you , too ? that happen on your little dinner date last night ? patrick : elizabeth , normal people do n't get knocked unconscious and left on the pier . elizabeth : he could 've passed out . patrick : that 's exactly my point . something 's going on , right ? look , either it was an accident or jake is n't who you think he is . elizabeth : okay , just because he is dealing with the side effects of the tbi . does not make him this masked criminal who attacked sam in front of the police station . for starters , i do n't think he 's capable of that sort of violence . and even if he is , why would he help faison escape ? patrick : look -- elizabeth : what motive does he have ? patrick : i 'm not accusing jake of anything , but you do n't really know what 's going on , right ? you just said that you do n't even know he 's having memory issues . elizabeth : fine . yes . you 're right . i did n't know . but just because he 's having these blackouts , does that mean he 's committed a crime during one of them ? patrick : i hope you 're right . elizabeth : the police have thoroughly investigated the gunman who attacked sam . there 's not one shred of evidence connecting jake to faison 's escape . jason : i do n't understand . i 've never seen this before . carly : if you tell me the truth , i can help . jason : i would n't lie to you , carly . i 'm telling the truth . i do n't know where that gun or this mask came from . what else is in the bag ? a coat ... boots ... black hat -- i mean , everything the gunman was wearing when he grabbed sam at the p.d . -- everything . jason : this ca n't be happening . this can not be true . carly : i 'm sorry . it 's starting to look like you did it . sam : when patrick and i were getting dressed this morning , i noticed that the phoenix figurine was missing . alexis : i 'm sorry , honey . i know how much those figurines meant to you and jason . sam : yeah , we gave them to each other for the first christmas after we were married . they were irreplaceable . alexis : are you sure it 's missing ? sam : mom , the dragon was there , and normally the phoenix would be there . it was gone . i know it sounds crazy , but , yes , it 's missing . i looked everywhere . i turned the house upside down . alexis : maybe danny was playing with -- sam : danny did n't take it . no one was in my room . i mean , patrick suggested that maybe the housekeeper could 've moved it . alexis : i 'll bet that 's what happened . i 'll bet that hannah was dusting and she moved it . it 's not like the phoenix can just get up and walk away . sam : no , mom , somebody took it . fluke : bill eckert ? where 'd you get that bogus idea ? sonny : well , i , uh -- i heard that you were hanging around old spencer 's house with helena cassadine . fluke : yeah , yeah , i know , by your man shawn . i knew he was there . i just did n't know that he was listening in on a private conversation . ca n't wait to tell that cadaverous old woman . but why ? why do you think i 'm bill eckert ? sonny : well , the house is in eckert 's name . fluke : well , i do n't know where you get your information , corinthos , but even if that 's true ... bill eckert is dead . sonny : well , we 're just gon na see about that . duke : so the man who was rescued from miscavige was not the real luke spencer ? shawn : no . i mean , the imposter knew the police were closing in on him , so he arranged for faison to take the fall . duke : to create a diversion , to avert suspicion . shawn : exactly . the imposter , the man gunning for sonny , is still in port charles , living in the quartermaine estate with michael . duke : i can see why sonny 's concerned . michael 's in grave danger , especially as he would n't think luke spencer would ever do him any harm . shawn : yeah , as soon as we find out who this guy really is , it 'll put us in a better position to take him down . duke : does sonny think we 're dealing with another mask ? shawn : well , julian jerome says the guy does n't have to wear one . he just looks like luke . duke : well , bill eckert apparently looked exactly like luke spencer . shawn : i 've seen pictures . they were identical . eckert took a bullet that was meant for the real luke , who apparently died over 20 years ago . duke : sonny thinks perhaps he 's not dead ? shawn : that 's what sonny wants to find out . he wants me to dig up bill eckert 's grave . nathan : duke lavery seems to be doing a fantastic job running the corinthos organization , but we 'll find a way to shut him down . maxie : i 'm sorry , nathan , but i find it hard to wish you success on locking up duke . i mean , i know , technically , he 's running a criminal enterprise , but he 's a nice guy . nathan : there 's nothing technical about it , maxie . he 's every bit the criminal that sonny is . maxie : that 's kind of my point . there are varying degrees of mobsterdom . like , sonny and his people , they have a code about how things operate . nathan : i had no idea you were so well - versed in mob politics . maxie : well , spinelli used to work for jason , and jason worked for sonny . not that i ever saw anything criminal happen . i was -- i was just on the periphery . nathan : so , are there , uh -- there any other mob factions in port charles that you sympathize with or is it just sonny 's ? maxie : what other mob factions ? now that julian and ava are in prison , are n't the jeromes over ? nathan : well , i 'm pretty sure somebody 's gon na take over julian 's spot , despite his claims that he 's gone straight and he just wants to start over . maxie : you 're talking about johnny zacchara , are n't you . maxie : johnny mentioned to me that you and dante went to see him the morning he got out of pentonville . nathan : when did you have a conversation with johnny zacchara ? maxie : yesterday at the haunted star . i went by to see lulu , and johnny was there . turns out he 's half owner again . i do n't know if that 's the ideal situation for lulu . i mean , she can business partners with whoever she wants , but i can understand why dante would be upset that lulu 's ex - boyfriend , who is also an ex - con , is spending all this extra time with her . nathan : wait , wait , wait , wait , no . go back , go back . why did n't you tell me that you 'd seen zacchara ? maxie : i do n't know . why did n't you tell me that you and dante saw him ? nathan : i do n't know . i -- i did n't think it was a big deal . maybe i was wrong . maxie : what do you mean ? nathan : johnny implied that you two had a history . do you ? fluke : you 'll see about that ? what 's that supposed to mean ? julian : corinth -- hey . do n't give him too much information . we got to stay cool until we know we can bring him down . fluke : answer me , corinthos . sonny : i do n't answer to you . fluke : oh , yeah ? well , you might want to rethink that . you stay out of my business . otherwise , your son pays the price -- yours and jerome 's . and you might want to remind julian that there 's nobody on the outside keeping an eye out on little lucas . so , as far as that goes , there 's nobody watching michael , either , now that he 's taken out a restraining order on shawn . so , you see , that leaves them both wide open ... for me . michael : thanks . i really needed this . lucas : yeah . rough day ? michael : uh , busy . the new stores on the waterfront are starting to open for business , and we 're doing everything we can to get the word out . lucas : wow ! that 's great . i had no idea they were gon na be open so soon . michael : hence the busy day . lucas : got it . [ chuckles ] oh . you mentioned that you wanted to talk to me about the clinic . michael : uh , yeah . hoping maybe we can go for a quick walk . i can give you a tour of the waterfront , show you the site i picked for the clinic , maybe get your ideas on the layout . lucas : rea -- wow . seriously ? a made - to - order clinic ? i mean , that sounds great . michael : yeah ? i mean , so , are you free ? do you have time ? lucas : um ... yeah , sure . yeah , i can take lunch now . michael : seems pretty quiet around here . lucas : yeah , it 's pretty slow today , actually . i did have one patient come in earlier with hypothermia , but i do n't think i 'm needed on the case anymore . elizabeth wanted to order a specialist , so ... let 's do it . elizabeth : mm . patrick : it 's not my job to decide whether jake is guilty of the crime or not . i 'm just a doctor . and for the record , i told sam that she should let the police finish the investigation . elizabeth : so you have no problem being objective . this is not gon na be an issue for you ? 'cause if it is , i will find another doctor . patrick : you do n't need to do that , okay ? i 'll do whatever i can to figure out what 's going on with jake . considering how close he is to you and those boys , if he 's innocent , then ... i 'll do what i can to prove it . jason : so , i 've got a bag full of dark clothing and an unmarked gun . either someone is going out of their way to frame the man with no memory ... or i am the gunman who took sam hostage . carly : okay . you told me about the memories ... the -- the flashes , the images of you grabbing sam . jason : yeah . dr. collins told me they were n't real . he said that the hypnosis confirmed that i was out looking for a job the entire time . carly : well , maybe it 's the opposite . maybe the memory of searching for a job was n't real , because this is real . jason : carly , i swear to you , i 've never seen that stuff before . and outside of a few confused images , i do n't have any recollection of doing anything violent . carly : but you spent the whole night on the pier , and you do n't even know how you got there . you have no idea what you 're capable of . you do n't know what you would do or what you would n't do . jason : give me some time to figure it out . just please do n't tell anybody about this . sam : i heard a noise last night , and when patrick and i looked around , there was no sign of anyone in the apartment . alexis : so you think someone came in and stole the phoenix ? sam : mom , listen , i know it sounds crazy , but the phoenix is gone , and there 's nowhere to find it . and i have no idea to find the person who took it . i know it sounds nuts . alexis : did patrick hear anything ? sam : i 'm not imagining this , mom . alexis : no , no , honey . i 'm not suggesting that you were , honestly . i know how affected you are by this . sam : i even found myself on the pier today , and i just remembered jason being shot by faison and me jumping into the water , and all ... i could find was that phoenix . and i do n't know why i went to the pier today . because it 's not like i was expecting to find the figurine again . duke : digging up a grave is pretty extreme . but i suppose it 's crucial we learn the identity of our enemy . shawn : yeah , if bill eckert 's grave is empty , we 'll have a good indication of who we 're dealing with . duke : well , you better do this sooner than later . let 's follow sonny 's orders , but let 's keep it between ourselves for now . no need to involve anybody else . elizabeth : is everything okay ? how are you ? jason : i 'm fine . elizabeth : okay . i brought patrick in to take a look at you . since he 's a neurosurgeon and he 's familiar with your case , i thought he might be able to help diagnose why you 're having these episodes , if that 's okay with you . jason : yeah , sure . yeah . patrick : i 'm gon na need some privacy to examine jake . do you mind stepping outside , carly ? carly : ' course . jason : what 're you doing ? carly : i 'm getting your bag out of the way . i 'll make sure it 's safe . alexis : i understand the importance of those figurines , and the last thing i would want to do is diminish what they mean to you . sam : but ? alexis : i 'm simply suggesting that you might be fixating on them or it because you slept with patrick last night . sam : what are you saying ? alexis : i know that this was a big deal for the two of you . it was a very significant thing . sam : yeah . yes , mom , it was a very big deal . and ... it was a step that i was ready to take . you have to understand that . i was n't fixating on the figurine because i thought i was betraying jason in any way . i was focused on it because it was gone . it disappeared right out of my bedroom . the bottom line is , the phoenix is gone , and i want it back . jordan : so , everything 's loaded onto the truck . i 'm gon na go with the guys just to supervise the unloading at the warehouse . i just kind of want to make sure everything 's as it should be . duke : i 'm sure everything will go smoothly . i appreciate your thoroughness . thank you . jordan : it 's the least i can do . jordan : want to give me a hand ? shawn : you know , uh , there 's something else i need to take care of . jordan : all right . i 'll see you there . shawn : i 'd better get a move on myself . duke : good luck . keep me posted . shawn : will do . fluke : you 're suddenly very quiet , sonny . what 's the matter ? i give you too much to think about ? sonny : if you 're bill eckert , that means your cousin 's bobbie spencer . would you actually kill bobbie 's son ? fluke : i never said i was bill eckert . sonny : okay . let 's just forget who you are for a second . what the hell do you want ? fluke : what do i want ? i thought i made that clear -- i want power . i 've asked nicely . i sent johnny zacchara to you to request that you turn over your territories , and what did you do ? you spit in my face . sonny : you should pick better emissaries . i thought this was one of johnny 's power plays . i did n't know that he spoke for you . fluke : well , if it makes any difference , now you know . so ... you can just talk to lavery and butler and tell them to step aside and give me what i want . sonny : if that means protecting michael ... that 's what i 'll do . michael : the revitalization project has turned out even better than i expected . you would n't believe all the progress we 've al -- maxie : i would say that johnny and i have , um ... almost history . nathan : `` almost history `` ? maxie : yeah , there were a few times we almost got together , but ... okay . there was this one year that crimson commissioned this fabulous red dress , and an a - list celebrity was supposed to wear it on the red carpet , someone who shall remain nameless , that dropped out at the last second due to some personal problems . but the dress still had to go . nathan : oh . the dress had to go . maxie : yeah , so -- so i wore it . and i needed an escort . there was johnny . i mean , he was dating lulu at the time , but we were a huge hit on the red carpet , and we had to keep representing crimson , so we just sort of started pretend dating , which led to an extremely inconvenient real attraction . nathan : inconvenient because johnny was with your best friend . maxie : yeah , but the thing is , johnny did n't think that he was good for lulu . he wanted to break up with her and make it his fault , so ... he set it up so that she would walk in on us kissing . lulu definitely broke up with him . she was actually pretty upset with me , but johnny took all the blame so that lulu and i could eventually work past it . nathan : and he did n't act on any of that ? maxie : that 's not the point . johnny does wrong things for the right reasons . that 's just how he thinks . alexis : honey , i am so sorry that the phoenix is missing , and i will help you look for it . we 'll tear the place apart when i get home , and i have no doubt that we will find it . sam : we will . you know what ? maybe it 's -- it 's in the dryer somewhere with the rest of my missing socks . alexis : stranger things have happened . alexis : all right . so let 's not talk about negative things anymore , and let 's go back to talking about positive things ... sam : yes , i agree . alexis : ... like the start of this really wonderful relationship that you have . sam : oh , he is wonderful , is n't he ? alexis : he 's almost good enough for you . sam : oh , you 're just saying that 'cause you 're my mother . alexis : no , it 's a simple statement of fact . sam : okay , counselor . alexis : from what i 've seen , you and patrick have something special , and you deserve to enjoy it . and in case you did n't know it , you deserve all good things to come to you . you deserve to be happy . carly : michael , are you okay ? michael : i 'm fine . carly : what are you doing here ? michael : i 'm here about the clinic i 'm opening up in my father 's name . lucas has agreed to run it . carly : congratulations ! [ both laugh ] lucas : thank you . carly : i am so happy for you . lucas : thank you . yeah , well , i have to say that a lot of it has to do with you . carly : me ? lucas : yeah , you . listen , mom had been nagging me for years to make use of my medical degree , but you actually helped me see that i was being really selfish and wasting an opportunity to help a lot of people . carly : no , no , no . all i said was that , since you went to all the trouble of getting your medical degree with top honors that you should put it to use . lucas : i think it was a little more inspiring than that , but nonetheless , i 'm grateful . carly : no , i just know what kind of person you are , and i know you 'll make a great doctor , and tony would be proud , and mom is thrilled , i 'm sure . lucas : yeah , she 's mentioned that a few times . carly : this is so exciting ! you two are gon na be working together , and you guys are gon na do such great things . i 'm so proud of you . michael : we should get going . uh , i 'll be outside . lucas : sorry . if he did n't care so much , it would n't be so hard for him to see you . carly : mm - hmm . and that 's a good thing , right ? lucas : i think so . just do n't give up on him yet . carly : not a chance . see ya . lucas : see ya , sis . fluke : wow . this is surprising . here you are , ready to hand over the keys to your coffee kingdom just for a son who does n't want anything to do with you . sonny : i love michael ... no matter how michael feels about me . fluke : well , you might reconsider that if you knew what he said about you this morning . there you were , trying to warn him about me , and he could n't care less . ran right to me after your conversation to report it . it 's really kind of pathetic , do n't you think ? i did n't know michael could be so vindictive . i like it . sonny : let 's get back to business . you want my territories ? i 'm ready to deal . fluke : too late . the offer 's off the table . this was merely a courtesy call . i do n't need to negotiate with you , corinthos . i just take what i want . and there 's not a damn thing you can do about it . shawn : all right , eckert . let 's see if anyone 's home . maxie : it 's like one part of johnny is always working to build something great , and then the other part of him is waiting to burn it down . nathan : then it does n't really sound like starting over is an option for him . maxie : i hope you 're wrong . i hope johnny learned that being in prison -- oof . he does n't want to risk going back there . nathan : you still care about him . maxie : as a friend . nathan : a friend with whom you have almost history ? maxie : you know what i told him about you ? nathan : you and johnny zacchara had a conversation about me ? maxie : i said that you were everything i ever wanted . you were everything i did n't know i wanted . there is nothing `` almost `` about my feelings for you , nathan . i 'm all in . nathan : moi aussi . maxie : did you say `` me too `` ? nathan : me too . carly : hey . so , how 's jake ? patrick : he seems to be recovering from the hypothermia . still have n't determined the cause of the blackouts . we need to run a few more tests . jason : oh , more expensive tests . dr. o is gon na start harvesting my organs as payment . elizabeth : do n't worry about that , okay ? patrick : elizabeth is right . it 's my job to determine what 's going on with you . we 'll run whatever tests we need to get an accurate diagnosis . jason : i appreciate that . patrick : all right , i 'll be back . jason : [ breathes deeply ] elizabeth : i 'll check on you later . jason : hey , yeah . thank you for not telling anybody about the stuff in that bag . carly : this is crazy . we have no idea how you got your hands on that gun or those clothes . jason : i want answers just as bad as you do -- even worse . i just -- i do n't -- i do n't know where to start . carly : we 're gon na go back to dr. collins , and this time , i 'm gon na go with you . we 're gon na find out the truth about what happened that day once and for all . lucas : michael , if you want to talk about how you felt when you saw carly -- michael : there 's nothing to talk about . lucas : well , you just unexpectedly bumped into your mom . i mean , sorry carly -- michael : whenever i see her , i think of sonny . and i 'm reminded how he shot my father in cold blood , and then he sat next to me by his bedside and pretended that he cared . lucas : see ? you had something to say after all . michael : everybody that i loved betrayed my trust . sonny murdered aj , and carly helped him cover it up , and all the explanations , all the excuses in the world wo n't change that . lucas : i know . but , michael , you can not keep all this pain and anger bottled up inside . it will poison you . i want you to know that i 'm here for you . you can talk to me . i wo n't try to defend sonny or carly . i will just be someone who will listen to you . [ cell phone rings ] michael : [ sighs ] i have to take this . lucas : sure . michael : luke ? fluke : michael . how are you doing ? michael : well , i 'm fine . what can i do for you ? [ cell phone rings ] sam : hmm . patrick . hi . patrick : hey . how are you ? sam : i was just thinking about you . patrick : ooh , i hope that 's a good sign , because i was wondering if you wanted to have dinner tonight . sam : ooh . yes , i would love to . patrick : that 's good . and , uh , hey , did you -- did you have any luck finding your little phoenix statue ? sam : um ... no . but i am sure it will turn up eventually . lucas : where did you come from ? hmm . michael : i 'm on the pier with lucas . i 'm giving him a tour of the new waterfront since he 's going to be the one running the clinic . fluke : lucas , huh ? my other favorite nephew . hey , tell you what . why do n't the two of you meet me over at the haunted star ? i 'd like to discuss the clinic with you . michael : right . does this mean you 're not gon na stand in our way ? fluke : well , i do n't want to spoil anything over the phone . but i can tell you , i think you 're in for quite a surprise . [ branches rustling ] shawn : who 's there ? i know someone is there . come out ! julian : we ca n't that lunatic harm our sons . there 's got to be something we can do . sonny : there is . we bust out of here . | shawn tells duke that sonny found out that faison in a luke mask was just a decoy and that the real imposter is still impersonating luke and living in the quartermaine mansion with michael . alexis tells michael that she served shawn with the restraining order . she advises him to be careful in that old house because shawn seemed genuinely concerned for his wellbeing . fluke threatens sonny that michael and lucas will pay for sonny and julian 's actions . sonny tells fluke that if he touches michael or lucas , he will reveal that his true identity is bill eckert . he asks fluke what he wants . fluke says he already sent johnny to ask sonny nicely to turn over his territory . sonny says fluke should choose better emissaries and that he did n't know that johnny was speaking for someone else . he says he will do it if it ensures the safety of michael and lucas . fluke say it is too late to negotiate ; he is just going to take it and there is nothing sonny can do about it . sonny tells julian that they are going to break out of prison . jordan follows shawn to the graveyard where he intends to dig up bill eckert 's grave to see if it is empty or occupied . shawn hears her so she reveals herself . |
michael : do you want a break ? dante : no , why ? i 'm good . let 's go . sonny : i 'm fine . go ahead and take a break . uh , i 'll be in the gym office a little later . man : sure , boss . sonny : working out your aggression there , dante ? dante : no . just , uh , working on some combos . sonny : oh , i thought maybe you were just trying to distract yourself from , you know , your situation with lulu . [ scene_break ] [ knock at door ] laura : [ scoffs ] okay , look -- rocco is fine . he is all tucked in in the nursery at wyndemere , and there is a housekeeper who is sitting with him . lulu : thank you so much . laura : i 've been waiting to hear from you . lulu : i know , i know . i 'm sorry . i 've been meaning to call you . laura : [ laughing ] oh , my god . i 'm here now ! lulu ! you left without a word ! you left me with rocco ! and then a policeman showed up , and he 's looking for you , and the best answer that i could give him was that you 'd gone out to run an errand . i want to know what 's going on . i need an explanation . lulu : [ crying ] mom , i 've created a huge mess . laura : oh , my god , lulu . [ scene_break ] hayden : stop . nikolas : w - what ? hayden : i - i ca n't do this . nikolas : did i say something wrong ? hayden : not at all . i 'm -- i 'm ... i 'm very flattered that spencer thinks you 're in love with me . he 's quite the romantic . nikolas : wait , wait , wait . hey , hey . what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] carly : we need to keep it simple and low - key . we can use one of those flour- less chocolate tortes that we have and just put a single candle on it and have it ready to go . woman : sure thing , carly . carly : okay , thanks ! sam : hey . carly : hey . sam : oh , hi . carly : thanks for coming . sam : yeah , of course . what 's this all about ? carly : jason 's birthday . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you ca n't possibly believe sam . you ca n't think that i would fabricate a break - in . fake an intruder , a stalker ? terrorize my own child just so you 'll pay attention to me ? jason : you see , the last time you told me not to believe sam , she was telling the truth , and you were lying . so what makes this time any different ? [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't think that jason realizes that the only birthday he ever celebrated was the day he woke up in the hospital and started his life as jason morgan . sam : yeah , carly , i 'm sure he has no idea . carly : so we can start a new tradition tonight . you , me , sonny , michael , jason , a cake ... sam : i do n't know . carly : this is a birthday that jason was not supposed to have . we thought we lost him , and we did n't . that 's a reason for a party . sam : yes , for us , maybe , but not -- not for jason . carly : so we explain to him the significance of the date . it was the date that he started a new life . and then we can let him choose to have the life that he wants . come on , sam , what do you think ? sam : [ sighs ] i do n't know . no . no . i do n't like it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i realize you do n't trust me , but i would never do what sam 's accusing me of -- not to my own son . jason : but it 's okay to deprive danny of his father , right ? elizabeth : and she hates me for what i did . that 's why she 's accusing me . you ca n't listen to her . jason : this is what i know . i know somebody did n't break into this house -- that much is clear -- and you 've lied to manipulate me before , so i 'm at a loss here . elizabeth : and that was a lie of omission . however wrong , i was not actively trying to hurt anyone . jason : so , what ? there 's levels of lies for you ? things you wo n't do , lines you wo n't cross ? elizabeth : if you do n't know the answer to that question , then you never knew me at all . [ scene_break ] hayden : uh , you know that , uh , saying `` be careful what you wish for , you might get it `` ? nikolas : yes . heard it many times . i know the feeling . hayden : well , then , you know what i 'm feeling right now . for months we 've been playing games with each other . nikolas : yes , and i thought we agreed to get past that . hayden : yeah , we were last night , you know , the way we connected . it was n't just the hot sex we had before . it was still very , very hot . nikolas : and i agree . hayden : right . but it was more than just sex . i let myself be real with you , nikolas . nikolas : okay . then why 'd you pull away from me when i said , `` i love you `` ? hayden : this is new for me , nikolas . i do n't -- i do n't know what to do with the love you 're offering . i do n't know what to say or how to act , but please do n't doubt my feelings and do n't start doubting me again . nikolas : it 's new for you for someone to say `` i love you `` ? hayden : well , not the words -- i 've heard them before . but the actual emotion ? it 's totally overwhelming . nikolas : are you trying to tell me that you 've never been in love before ? hayden : no . not even close . when my ex - husband said that he loved me , i do n't think either one of us ever believed it . it was just the next step , the right thing to do , like finding an apartment on the upper east side or going to the hamptons for the weekend . i never questioned it . i never asked myself how love was actually supposed to feel , if it could matter more than numbers scrolling in a bank account or the acquisition of things . but as soon as the things were gone , the love -- if you can even call it that -- was gone too . so , yeah , i 'm having a little trouble recognizing love when it 's right in front of me . nikolas : no , no , no , no . when you were by my side in the hospital , i could feel that you care about me , that you want me for me -- not the things that i can provide you , not the scrolling numbers in the bank account . no , no . that 's when it changed for me . that 's why i can say `` i love you . `` and see , look , it -- it 's supposed to make you happy , but instead all i see is fear in your eyes . hayden : you 're right . i 'm afraid to love you as much as i do . [ scene_break ] sonny : how are your hands holding up , michael ? michael : well , let 's just say i 'm glad i got these on . sonny : how 's sabrina ? michael : all right . dante : what ? sonny : you can take a break . michael : uh ... well , she left port charles , and she left believing that i did n't want to be with her and the baby , so now there 's nothing i can do to tell her i changed my mind . sonny : what about you ? dante : i was gon na stop by your house later tonight , tell you that , uh , john zacchara 's back in prison . sonny : wow . nice collar . good for you . dante : was n't me . it was nathan . i was busy tracking down my wife . you know , the mother of my child who , uh , would be standing minimum -- minimum -- 15-year sentence for accessory to , uh , kidnapping and assault if john zacchara had n't taken the fall for her . [ scene_break ] lulu : when johnny showed up at the haunted star i should have gone with my first instinct , and i should have sent him away . laura : why did n't you ? 'cause olivia had shown up that evening and told me that dante left rocco alone with valerie . he went and ran some errand . all i could see was -- was valerie taking my place with my husband and with my little boy . laura : yeah , i know . i remember that conversation . i also remember that you were suspiciously calm . lulu : i was literally so angry i could n't even think straight . and i told johnny that he could stay if he would get valerie out of my life . laura : oh ! lulu : that 's how valerie wound up ... tied to a chair in a burning cabin . laura : oh , my god ! lulu ! was -- was johnny trying to kill her ? lulu : no , mom , no ! the fire was accidental . but everything that happened up until that point was -- it was deliberate . but i promise , mom , this was n't my intention ! it was n't ! laura : [ sobbing ] [ scene_break ] dante : trust the two of you wo n't say anything . michael : yeah , of course not . sonny : it 's between family . dante : lulu and johnny were trying to set valerie up . michael : set her up how ? dante : well , johnny kept pretending to be `` bumping into `` valerie . she had no idea who he was . and , uh , johnny tried to make it look like valerie was on the take . michael : and lulu was in on this ? dante : at the very least , lulu and johnny were conspiring to make it look like valerie was corrupt and get her dropped from the police academy . as far as her getting kidnapped by johnny , i do n't know if that was his original plan or if his plan went sideways . but either way , valerie almost ended up dead , and lulu almost ended up being charged for accessory to murder . sonny : you clean it up ? dante : yeah , i cleaned it up . little bit of help from some people . nathan made sure lulu was n't anywhere found on the records , and , uh , johnny said he acted alone . sonny : so lulu 's protected ? dante : yes . legally speaking she will never be charged for the laws she broke . she will never answer for almost getting valerie killed . i just do n't know if i can ever get past that . [ scene_break ] lulu : mom , i know how this looks , okay ? but i was n't trying to get revenge on valerie . laura : were n't you ? lulu : i just wanted her to leave port charles , okay ? i wanted her far away from me and dante . i honestly believe that this is the only way i would have a chance to repair my marriage . laura : [ scoffs ] does dante know about this ? lulu : he knows everything . laura : oh ! [ chuckles ] lulu : he was the one who found me and valerie at the cabin . i 've never ... seen him so angry . he could n't even look at me . he told me that when he cheated on me , that he destroyed half of our marriage . and that what i 'd done with valerie obliterated the other half . laura : well , lulu ... i 'm sorry . lulu : when he left and went to check on valerie , that 's the last contact i 've had with him . for all i know , he 's been with her this whole time . they 're probably closer than they 've ever been . and i have no one to blame but myself . [ scene_break ] dante : i never thought lulu was capable of something like this . but she should have known better . she should have known johnny 's got a screw loose . valerie could have ended up hurt or worse . michael : well , valerie 's okay , though , right ? i mean , she was n't physically harmed and there 's no indication of corruption . dante : no , she 's in the clear , michael , but that 's not the point . sonny : the point is you ca n't forgive your wife . dante : why , can you blame me ? sonny : what lulu did was -- was wrong , vindictive , you know , unfair . but is that -- is that your wife under normal circumstances ? dante : no , that 's not her . sonny : then maybe you should acknowledge how badly you hurt her . dante : you mean that i was unfaithful to her ? sonny : yeah . dante : acknowledge that i did that to hurt her ? i have , sonny . i have . and i -- i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . but that does n't give her a free pass to go and -- and commit crimes and harbor fugitives . sonny : it 's over , the legal situation . now you got -- you got to deal with your wife , the mother of your child . unless you 're telling me that you want to walk away from your family . dante : you think i 'd walk away from rocco ? you know me better than that . sonny : what about lulu ? you made promises -- for better or for worse . you ca n't let the anger separate you . that 's what carly and i did for years . well , we made it back to each other , but you want to lose that time with lulu ? or do you want to figure out a way to fix this ? dante : i understand what you 're trying to do , and i appreciate it , i really do . but you and carly are nothing like me and lulu . [ sighs ] [ door closes ] michael : well , you tried . [ scene_break ] sam : there is no signs of a forced entry , no evidence of an outside intruder . clearly the whole thing was staged . carly : oh . no offense to your pi skills , but jason could n't figure that out for himself ? sam : well , i - i think maybe he could have if it had n't been for elizabeth . carly : you think she set the whole thing up ? sam : i raise the possibility . carly : did you raise it to elizabeth in front of jason ? sam : yes . carly : oh , my gosh . how did she maneuver her way out of that one -- with tears of wounded innocence or offended outrage ? sam : a little bit of both . carly : unbelievable . [ groans ] sam : but the point is i do n't think jason 's gon na be in the mood for a party tonight , especially since he does n't even remember it 's his birthday . carly : okay , well , jason has n't focused on anything but elizabeth and her nonexistent stalker since new year 's eve . might be nice for him to be around people who are n't trying to manipulate him , people who just want to have a good time . sam : yeah , maybe , if he does n't feel like he 's being pressured . carly : okay , i hear what you 're saying , but i 'm not going to be dishonest with jason . i ca n't . that 's what elizabeth does . and he 's alive and i want to celebrate and i think he should be with you and i -- sam : no , no , no . do n't , do n't ! carly : i ca n't help it . sam : please , do n't . do n't say that out loud . if jason and i are going to be together , we have to find our own way back to each other . carly : okay , all right . i will really try hard to respect that . sam : i hope so . because nothing can happen until jason is clear on who he is now and what he wants from the rest of his life . [ scene_break ] jason : you 're right . i guess i never really did know you . could n't tell when you were lying then . i ca n't tell now . elizabeth : i owned what i did . i ruined us , and i get it . you ca n't move past it 'cause the deception was too great . jason : you mean the time you left my wife and child to grieve ? you 're right . i ca n't move past that . that 's a little hard for me to move past . elizabeth : okay , but that -- there was a time when we were in love ... without the burden of that lie between us . jason : are you sure ? because the first time you told me you loved me was right after you learned who i really was . elizabeth : all right . jason : yeah , that 's what i thought , then . elizabeth : all right , fine . you know what ? then let 's talk about our friendship . let 's talk about when i open my home to you when you had no place to go . or how about all those months we spent together getting to know each other . that was real , jason . that time we had together was honest . and i swear on everything we shared , i am not trying to trap you by manipulating you or our little boy . jason : are you asking me to take your word when you 've already proven that i ca n't trust you ? elizabeth : i s -- i swear , jason . i would never do something so terrible and horrible . i swear it on my life , i swear it on my children 's life , and i swear it on my love for you . jason : we need to focus here . this is about whether or not someone 's breaking into this house and terrorizing jake . elizabeth : it was n't me . i would not scare our son any more than you would . we 're his parents . and no matter how far apart we are , jake has to be the one thing we agree on . jason : you 're right . are you and jake going to be okay here ? elizabeth : yes . jason : okay . i 'll call you in the morning . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jason : hey , um ... would you lock the door behind me ? elizabeth : yes . jason : okay . jake : did sam make dad go away again ?

[ ric sighs ] ric : yeah , of course . why not ? sonny : it 's pretty clear how badly alexis wants to win . that 's fine , whatever . but just get her to back off sam , will you ? ric : ok , sonny , ca n't you see that sam is the one who has a personal stake in all this ? she 's a loose cannon . she 's standing up in the middle of a courtroom yelling things out . the judge has got to -- got to extract her from the courtroom . i do n't know what went on in that holding room between her and manny , but she buried herself by being there personally . sonny : i will deal with sam ! you just talk some sense into your wife . ric : alexis is trying to defend her client , sonny ! sonny : it 's pretty clear how bad she wants to win . she wants to defend her lofty legal principles . ric : oh -- sonny : but what i 'm saying to you , ric , if she keeps pushing , she will regret it . john : i believe that sonny and jason planned the hit . sam mccall is a bargaining chip to get jason to talk . carly : i need to talk to you . jason is innocent . john : carly , you know , you ought to have those two words tattooed on your -- carly : no , don't . you 're only going after jason to get to sonny and you know it . john : carly , you just got out of a mental hospital . should n't you -- should n't you be taking care of yourself instead of looking after jason ? carly : do n't act like you care about me being in a mental hospital because you came to see me two days . thanks a lot . john : hey , whoa , do n't -- do n't you play that guilt card with me . i tried to see you , but i was on some sort of list -- `` access denied . `` carly : maybe that 's because i ca n't take the stress of you constantly trying to destroy my best friend . john : carly -- carly -- carly : you know he 's my best -- john : i know that you 're upset , ok ? i 'm sorry , so here 's how it 's going to play out . i 'm going to gather up all the evidence , i 'm going to test jason for gunpowder residue , i 'm going to talk to his girlfriend , and if he 's cleared , you get to say `` na - na - na - na - na - na , i told you so . `` it 'll be a happy day . jason : i told you to leave it alone . carly : i am not going to leave it alone . jason : i want you to give it up . carly : you think sam shot manny , and you -- jason : do n't say anything else about sam . officer : we got her as she was getting out of the shower . john : washing off gunpowder residue , no doubt . what do you know , counselor , you may be right . this girl could be our shooter . sam : they broke into my home . they had to drag me out of my shower naked , all because of your obsession with manny . alexis : sam , your hatred of my client is justified . i understand that . but it does n't entitle you to murder my client . sam : mur -- what ? please tell me that manny is dead . jason : get away from her , alexis . elizabeth : will you be able to arrest the guy who beat lucas up ? what kind of pig does that ? lucky : well , you know what ? it 'll never make sense . i 'm just surprised at bobbie . usually she 's so laid back . elizabeth : yeah , well , she needs time to absorb it , like you said . [ lucky sighs ] lucky : you do n't think she 'll shut lucas out of her life ? elizabeth : he 's her son . that will never change . but as a mother , you start to imagine a certain life for your child , and something like being gay changes everything . like the kind of pain it will cause him , and she has no idea how to protect him . lucky : but ultimately you want cam to be happy , whatever that happens to be . it 's not like lucas chose this . elizabeth : honey , you 're awfully bothered by this . lucky : i just -- i just have to believe that my aunt bobbie has what it takes to get lucas through this . bobbie : hey . i guess lucky told you ? elizabeth : it 's quite a shock . bobbie : yeah . i would appreciate it if you both kept it to yourselves for now . lucky : yeah , if that 's what you want . elizabeth : lucas is going to need all the support he can get right now , especially from his mom . bobbie : i do n't know what he needs anymore . you know , he 's been so distant and so secretive . it finally makes some sense . except i do n't know what to do about it . elizabeth : well , there 's not a whole lot you can do , except let your son know that you love him no matter what . lulu : are you sure you want to stay here ? i mean , would n't you rather go home ? lucas : what home ? right now my mom is wishing that she never adopted me . georgie : no , lucas , i do n't believe that . and how would bobbie 's reaction have been different if you were n't adopted ? lucas : because if i was n't adopted , i 'd be all spencer and jones genes . i mean , i probably would n't be gay . georgie : wait a minute , you 've had some time to deal with this . just , please , give bobbie a minute to digest . lulu : no , georgie 's right . your mom and your dad -- they both worship you . you have the kind of family that we would all kill for . lucas : it 's not that easy . i mean , no one even pays attention to maxie 's sex life . georgie : except my dad . lucas : i meant her orientation -- or yours , for that matter . everyone just accepts it because you 're straight . now i 'm going to be `` the gay guy `` or `` my gay friend , lucas `` or `` my gay son . `` it 's like the person i am takes a back seat just because i happen to be attracted to the same sex . it 's bigoted , it 's limiting , and it 's unfair . dillon : do n't look at me , i 'm a quartermaine . i put the fun in `` dysfunctional . `` georgie : so what if bobbie is not throwing a parade for you ? she was blindsided , lucas . dillon : at the police station , by the way , in front of everyone , with a couple of vagrants waiting for cells to open up . georgie : lucas , she feels like she was the last to know , and that 's what 's embarrassing here . lucas : she 's embarrassed because she has a gay son . dillon : oh , dude , you know what ? you handle this however you want , but i was there . i saw her face . i think she was more surprised than anything , and it 'd be nice if you lightened up and gave her a minute . georgie : dillon 's got a point . why do n't you call bobbie , tell her to come over here , and we 'll talk about it . then you 'll see , lucas . jason : you 've crossed the line again , alexis . you 're not defending manny , you 're persecuting sam . alexis : if sam shot manny , that 's attempted murder . carly : then why are n't you at the hospital ? court 's recessed for the day , and your client is fighting for his life , but you 're here trying to tell the d.a . what to do . and why are you letting alexis call the shots ? whose show is this ? alexis : i think we 're both interested in justice . john : i 'll let you know how it turns out , alexis . in the meantime , you 're only getting in the way . alexis : i 'll be at the courthouse . you call me if anything changes . john : put ms . mccall in interrogation . jason : it 's going to be ok . carly : jason -- jason : ok , carly , i 've got it covered . all right ? i 'm going to take it from here . sonny : hector ruiz tried to save manny , too . but the son turned against his father , shot him dead . you think he 's not going to do the same to his lawyer once alexis sets him free ? ric : sonny , listen to me . even a criminal like manny ruiz deserves a defense , ok ? i know it 's an unpopular position , but it is a matter of principle . sonny : well , you know what ? there 's a chance that alexis ' principles are going to be going down the tubes because of manny . if she stays alive , she 's lucky , ric . ric : oh , come on . what , are you going to start threatening now ? sonny : i 'm not threatening her ! i 'm just saying -- you 're the husband , you need to keep her principles at hand , right ? you need to protect her from herself ! alexis : you arrogant -- are you kidding me ? you 're trying to manipulate my husband ? you want something from me ? you stop the subterfuge and you ask . georgie : i left a message on your mom 's voicemail that you 're here , you 're with us , and you 're fine . lucas : well , if i 'm lucky , then she 'll just accept that and not feel the need to come over . lulu : do n't you want to straighten this out with her ? lucas : so she can look at me like i have a fatal disease ? dillon : is it ok if i call you a drama queen ? this is being a drama queen . lucas : dillon , this is n't a joke . dillon : no , it 's not , but do n't you dare turn yourself into a victim . that 's not who you are . lulu : your mom is not prejudiced . lucas : oh , yeah -- she 's totally p.c . when it comes to other people 's families . georgie : you know , lucas , it 's awful that you were outed the way that you were . but instead of dealing with it , you 're standing here determined to prove that you were right to stay in the closet . lucas : i 'm just prepared for the inevitable . if b.j . had lived , if carly had n't have been given up for adoption , then things might 've been different . but i 'm the one that 's had to live the perfect life -- no transgressions , no failures . i mean , no bringing my boyfriend home to meet my parents . oh , god , i have n't even dealt with my father yet . dillon : i got it -- `` priscilla , queen of the desert . `` you can travel through australia with a couple of drag queens . nobody will ever find you . lulu : sounds fabulous . can i come ? dillon : yes . no , seriously , you can stay here as long as you want . there 's a million rooms . tracy : absolutely not . i will not have another freeloading spencer under my roof . dillon : mom , lucas is a friend and he 's having a hard time , and , seriously , what do you care if he stays in the east wing or the north tower or the boathouse , even ? tracy : darling , your friend is a spencer . when spencers move in , you can not get them out . georgie : you do realize that that 's your husband 's family you 're insulting ? tracy : georgie , i happen to find my husband amusing . lulu i find a nuisance , and from the look of things , he 's twice as bad . lucas : did n't you just have a near - death experience ? lulu : oh , do n't bother . she 's a lonely old bag . tracy : oh , now , that really endears you to me . [ door closes ] tracy : oh , good . bobbie , would you remove your son from the premises , please ? he 's not welcome here . lucas : i 'm not welcome at home , either . bobbie : lucas , that is not true . look , i was totally thrown at the police station when you said -- we 're going to work this out . i love you . lucas : but not enough to say the word , right ? we might as well do this now , get it over with . go on . `` my son is gay . `` you ca n't say it , can you ? tracy : wow . a gay spencer . now , that 's a new wrinkle . dillon : yeah , way to be a bigot , mom . tracy : dillon , this is way too much trouble for us . you will not associate with him . and you , bobbie , try being a good parent . straighten this out . i do n't want lucas in this house . keep your son 's issues away from all of the quartermaines , especially my son . dillon : wait a second , i do n't have a problem with lucas , mom . tracy : i am up to my armpits in aberrant spencers . there 's no way i 'm taking on another one . bobbie : you better shut your mouth before i rip every hair out of your spiteful little head . patrick : yes , it 's true , i saved manny again . so can you go tell your ex saying no was n't an option ? carly : oh , thank you , patrick . you 're brilliant . patrick : wait . ok , you mobster types really need to make up your mind . i thought you 'd want me eliminated for saving the tattooed one . carly : sam and jason are being held on charges of attempted murder . i need manny to survive so he can testify that they 're innocent , so you are my hero . i owe you bigtime , dr . drake . patrick : be careful . you never know when i 'll make you pay up . alexis : you were asking ric to get me to throw this case ? that is really , really unbelievable . what , did he use the brother card ? did he question your loyalty ? ric : we should n't even be in here talking . the judge would frown upon it . alexis : you actually asked my husband to do it for you ? sonny : no , i asked your husband to save you from your out - of control ego . all you care about is winning , even if it means manny ruiz gets set free to go after the people that we love . now , look , you know what ? he 's not above coming after my kids to get to me . you say i 'm the one that 's a danger ? you set this animal free , you will be putting kristina 's life at risk . you ! alexis : doing my job does n't make me a bad mother . and do n't go pointing the finger at me , my friend . you want to talk about failed parenting ? we can have a really nice conversation about that right now . you want to talk about how you treat the children like they 're trophies ? emily : stop it , alexis ! john : thank you , officer . john : so i 'm working on a theory that you two planned manny 's murder together . i mean , nobody could really blame you . the man is a pig , he deserves to fry , right ? sam : right , and you take care of that , durant . it 's your job . det . rodriguez : i got the results on morgan . he 's clean -- no powder residue . sam : that 's because he 's innocent . john : well , then . i guess that makes ms . mccall here our shooter . rodriguez , i want you to arrest her for attempted murder , and let 's close the book on this case . carly : manny ? manny ? carly : do you remember what happened ? do you remember who really pulled the trigger ? what ? robin : carly , what are you doing ? leave manny alone . carly : jason has been arrested for shooting manny . i am trying to find out who really did it . robin : he just got out of surgery . the last thing he needs is you interrogating him . now , get out . tracy : this is my house . bobbie : it 's monica 's house . tracy : well , i doubt that monica would want your son living here any more than i do . bobbie : oh , i have tolerated your insults for years . i 've sat around and stood by while your ridiculous charade of a marriage has made a fool out of my brother , and i 've watched you treat my niece like trash . tracy : she was well compensated . bobbie : lucas is my son . he 's a wonderful young man and i 'm very proud of him , and if you ever insult my son again , i will bitch - slap you all the way to the canadian border . tracy : you 'll what ? bobbie : do you want me to show you ? we used to beat up rich girls like you in florida for sport . it 's one of those street things you never really forget , so you lay off my kid , or i 'll do more damage to you than you ever dreamed of . do you understand me ? good . now , go away . go . lucas : mom ? dillon : well done . lulu : go , aunt bobbie ! lucas : i did n't expect you to defend me like that . bobbie : well , why would n't i defend you ? you 're my son . i love you . tracy quartermaine 's mean . she 's a hateful , miserable , overprivileged witch , and i despise that woman and every word she said to you . georgie : so do we . bobbie : i love you , honey . and i know i should 've been more sensitive . i 'm sorry you 've been in so much pain . lucas : no , it 's ok . bobbie : but you know what ? it 's not too late . i am going to get you counseling . emily : do you ever get tired of attacking sonny ? ric : ok , let 's just take a step back here , emily . emily : no , i 've seen sonny with his children , ric . he 's devoted to them , alexis , including his daughter . their safety is all he cares about . sonny : emily , you do n't have to do this . emily : no , i 'm sick of people commenting on subjects they know nothing about . he 's a good man , alexis . he 's trying to protect his family . so stop making this personal and try listening to him for a change . alexis : you 're very passionate with your defense of sonny . when did you seduce emily ? carly : i need you to tell me how long till manny can answer some questions . robin : carly , are you at it again ? i told you to leave my patient alone . carly : and i need to find out from manny who shot him . robin : well , are n't there other people that you can ask ? carly : if you 're implying that jason or sonny were involved , that 's a really nice way to show your friendship , robin . robin : oh . patrick : so where will it be ? robin : what are you talking about ? patrick : well , i saved your patient . robin : our patient . patrick : either way . that means we have a date . robin : oh . carly : well , you look smug . skye : you 're imagining things . carly : no , i know self - satisfied when i see it . skye : well , if you must know , lorenzo and i just finished up a board meeting together , and then we 're going out to dinner . i 'd ask you to come along , but i do n't think you 're welcome . carly : you 're going out with lorenzo ? skye : in case you think he 's nursing a broken heart , he 's not . carly : when did he ask you out ? skye : hey , he 's a free man . carly : when exactly did he ask you out , skye ? skye : this afternoon . he stopped by the house and made quite a lovely speech -- not that it 's any of your business . carly : yeah . i know exactly what my ex - husband 's up to . manny : that was your best shooter you put on me at the courthouse . lorenzo : i thought you might recognize him . you were supposed to be too dead to i.d . him . manny : you here to finish me ? lorenzo : i 'm here to help you be discreet , manny . to make sure you never tell anyone i sent the man who tried to kill you . sam : i did n't shoot manny . jason : i know that . sam : i went up to the ladies ' room because i wanted to wash my face , because i thought i would calm down a little bit , and it did n't work . i could still feel the scratches on my skin , and i could feel manny 's hands all over my body . so i went outside and i took a taxi , and i went home and i got a shower . jason : the forensics are going to prove that you are innocent . sam : i lost it in court today . how stupid was i to try and threaten manny , try and trap him ? i did everything that you warned me not to do . why ca n't i keep my mouth shut ? why ca n't i do the things that you tell me to do ? all i did was walk directly into a trap , directly into alexis ' hands . no , if manny dies tonight , i 'm going to be charged with murder , and if he does n't , he 's going to come after all of us . [ next_on ] robin : why do n't you ask another woman out to dinner , and i 'll pick up the tab . carly : are you here to ask manny who shot him ? it was lorenzo . he asked skye out on a date . manny : you want me to cover for you ? lorenzo : work with me to destroy sonny . sonny : what emily and i are doing is none of your business . | lulu handles lucas ' coming out a lot better than bobbi does . while manny is rushed to the hospital , jason is arrested and the cops go to bring sam in . patrick refuses to operate on manny unless robin goes out with him once . sonny asks ric to throw the case . patrick saves manny 's life . tracy bans lucas from the q manor . jason tests clean of powder burns , and so , sam is arrested . bobbi threatens to beat tracy to a pulp if she does n't lay off lucas , then suggests lucas go to counseling . emily defends sonny to alexis . skye agrees to date lorenzo . lorenzo visits manny , who recognized one of his men as the shooter . |

[ sighs ] i 'm trying to tell you that -- i owe you . sabrina : you have n't told her . emma : told me what ? patrick : i was waiting for the right time . sabrina : i think it needs to be now so there are no unrealistic expectations and no one gets disappointed . patrick : right . um , hey , listen . uh , sabrina 's not gon na be able to babysit you anymore . emma : why ? sabrina : okay , okay . dr. drake said that i - i tried to kiss him ? britt : it was highly inappropriate . i mean , how can you expect him to keep that to himself ? sabrina : but that 's not at all what happened . britt : well , it 's how patrick saw it . bottom line , sabrina -- you 're making patrick very uncomfortable . emma : do n't you like us anymore ? what 's today 's dare ? sabrina : emma , of course i like you . i love you . emma : then why ca n't you come over anymore ? patrick : emma , sabrina 's really busy . she 's working at the hospital and she 's studying for her nurse 's exam , so she just does n't have enough time to babysit right now . emma : but what about the nurses ' ball ? you said we would all be in it together . are you too busy for that now , too ? britt : the baby maxie 's carrying is doing fine . there 's absolutely nothing wrong with this baby . maxie : see ? so , could you please just relax a little -- please , please ? i mean , you 're my best friend and i love you , but you 're taking hovering to a whole new level . lulu : i am so sorry . i just worry . i just w -- i just want everything to be okay . dante : okay . maybe it would help maxie 's stress level if we did n't interrogate her -- lulu : okay , you do n't have to say , `` we . `` we know it 's me . i 'm trying to relax . olivia : how 'bout if we just rely on dr. westbourne for all of our pregnancy updates ? 'cause i 'm thinking she 's probably a lot more reliable than my visions , so -- steven : can i quote you on that ? olivia : [ chuckles ] dante : so , you guys were talking about something . you said maxie had something to tell us . spinelli : i - i was on the hospital roof , a - alone , in despair , clutching my near empty bottle of peppermint schnapps , my life in shambles , a -- ellie : okay , cut to the chase . when did maxie show up ? spinelli : well , midnight had come and gone . i was -- again , alone on the roof , um , contemplating the uncaring stars . ellie : [ sighs ] spinelli : and i heard footsteps , and i leapt up because i thought -- i thought it was you . but it turned out to be maxie . ellie : [ sighs ] i knew it . i knew it . maxie came looking for you . spinelli : no . in fact , she was quite surprised to see me . ellie : no , she was n't ! she knew that you and i had planned a rendezvous on the roof ! she knew that i was on my way to see you ! oh , my god . [ gasps ] i went to my room to get ready , and i left maxie on the couch , and while i was showering and drying my hair , she knew that i could n't hear what she was up to . spinelli : okay . i 'm sorry . i do n't understand how that relates to my encounter with her hours later on the roof . ellie : oh , my god . maxie obviously tampered with my car . she arranged to come in my place so that while i was getting mowed down by connie falconeri 's car , she was having sex with you ! spinelli : ellie , that 's -- that 's -- that 's not true . i mean , first , maxie does n't know the difference between a spark plug and a radiator hose , but more importantly , look -- no , she would not -- she would not sabotage you or me in such a manner . ellie : you know maxie better than i do . can you honestly look me in the eye and promise me that she would n't do anything underhanded to get her own way ? sonny : forget it , connie . you do n't owe me anything . connie : i - i do . i owe you a very big thank you for what you did for me . okay , maybe you did n't do it for me . maybe you were being nice because you thought kate was gon na come back . i do n't care . whatever . but i was falling down , and you helped me up . sonny : i can be ruthless , right ? but i 'm capable of compassion . you were hurting , and i wanted to help . connie : and i owe you a thank you . sonny : no , you do n't owe me anything . connie : sonny , let me tell you that i want to thank you , please ! i do n't say , `` thank you `` that often . sonny : okay . connie : thank you ! sonny : okay . i - i -- connie : geez . that 's not how i meant to say it . thank you , sonny . anna : no , faison is in a cell in geneva , and if you do n't believe me , then call interpol . oh , better yet , go online , because his capture made all the european papers . luke : and there 's no chance that this could be another mind game ? anna : no , no . there is n't , really . i mean , i can understand why you would doubt me , 'cause i have plenty of reasons to doubt myself , but this -- this is duke . duke : i - i apologize for the confusion . anna : it 's not your fault . it 's nobody 's fault . we 've all just been faison 's puppets . it 's going to take us a while to adjust . luke : well , how did this happen , and how do you know that this is the real guy ? anna : well , because faison said that duke was in a prison in turkey , and , remember , that story checked out . that 's because he was . he was there . duke : yeah . for two decades . i was supposed to have entered the witness protection program , but it was a trap , so i was left to rot in jail . anna : but faison found him first . duke : well , he did , and , as a matter of fact , i was grateful when he first took me to switzerland because i was in pretty bad shape . i - i - i needed medical attention , and i also needed physical therapy , but then when faison introduced himself to me , i realized that my salvation had come at a very -- at a very high price . anna : and , you see , then faison -- he made a mold of his face , and they duplicated his fingerprints . faison studied his mannerisms , the way he talked , and he got all these personal details about our life together , and -- duke : i also fed him some false memories . i wanted to send clues to anna . but , uh -- he was pretty determined . he was obsessed , and he was convinced that his plan was gon na work . he was convinced that anna would accept him as me and he would take his place in my life -- assume my place beside anna . anna : and i was -- i was vulnerable . and he knew that . and he fed me a lie that i wanted to believe . luke : there 's no way you could have seen this coming . anna : well , you did . duke : anna told me that you were the first to suspect that faison was an imposter . it 's thanks to you that i 'm here . luke : i just wish i could have been in switzerland for the takedown . i would have loved to have been the one to rip the mask off that maniac 's head and expose him for what he is . duke : it 's because of you that i 'm here and , more importantly , that anna is free and safe . i thank you for that . i thank you most sincerely . sabrina : of course you 're gon na be in the nurses ' ball . it 's to honor your mommy . we could n't think of having a ball without dr. robin scorpio - drake 's little girl . emma : will you and me and daddy all be in it together ? patrick : [ chuckling ] hey . sabrina : [ chuckles ] i - i , um -- i do n't -- i do n't know if we 're gon na be performing as a group . i 'm gon na have to be running around , making sure everything 's going the way it 's supposed to go . but -- but you and your daddy are definitely gon na be our guests of honor , okay ? patrick : yes . we will see sabrina at the nurses ' ball , i promise . we just have to figure out all the details first , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . sabrina : okay . so , right now , i have to go get my food , but it was really great seeing you . i miss you . patrick : okay . come on . come and finish your hot chocolate . it 's gon na get cold . emma : i want sabrina to be my babysitter . patrick : i understand . i like sabrina , too . but she needs time to study , all right ? you ca n't ask her to take care of us and forget about nursing , can we ? emma : she could study while she babysits . i 'll be really , really quiet . patrick : [ chuckles ] you 're so sweet . we 'll find somebody great to babysit you , i promise . but maybe -- maybe we wo n't need a babysitter as much . maybe next time i go out with britt , you can come with us and we can do something fun . like , we can go ice skating or maybe we can go to the ballet . emma : i do n't like britt . patrick : why would you say that ? baby , i think you just need to spend more time together . emma : no , we do n't . patrick : emma , what 's going on ? why do n't you like britt ? emma : 'cause she 's mean . britt : maxie and i were discussing some bloodwork that just came back . i want to up her dosage of folic acid . lulu : oh . is something wrong ? britt : oh , it 's pretty standard . maxie : dr westbourne 's taking great care of me . she knows how much this baby means to all of us . lulu : but you were gon na notify us that you were changing her dose . dante : i think we just need to take a step back , baby . that 's all . maxie : yeah . dante 's right . it 's not rocket science . it 's just green vegetables and orange juice . britt : and maxie does n't want to worry you . and as i reminded her , you and dante are also my patients , and you 're entitled to all information pertinent to this pregnancy . olivia : mother of god . not you again ! spinelli : it 's true that maxie has a history of being somewhat calculating , even a schemer at times , but i assure you she did not come to the hospital roof in a deliberate attempt to subvert you -- on the contrary . look , maxie was terrified . she was afraid that a tangle with a dog had inadvertently caused harm to the baby , but , i mean , everything was fine . she just came to the roof to calm down . ellie : and have sex with you ? ! that is so disgusting ! spinelli : it was a grievous error in judgment , and it -- it would n't have happened if she had n't been so emotional and i had n't been so drunk that i could n't see straight . ellie : ugh ! just give me a break ! maxie had only recently been implanted with dante and lulu 's embryo , okay ? she just found out she was pregnant on christmas eve ! she knew that having sex was contraindicated . you 're supposed to refrain from that so that you do n't interfere with the procedure . spinelli : well , fortunately , i mean , the baby 's fine , and so is maxie . ellie : that 's great . you should just go be with her , because you obviously want to . spinelli : no , ellie . i - i want -- i want you . ellie : stop -- lying to me . stop telling me what you think i should hear , because it 's not making anything better ! it 's just making everything worse ! you still want maxie -- so much so that you did n't even hesitate to have intercourse with her ! spinelli : tell me what i can do to make it better . ellie : you want to know what you can do ? get out . spinelli : come on . we have to talk about this . ellie : no . you know what ? if you wo n't leave , then i 'm going to . spinelli : ellie , stop . stop . sonny : i 'm gon na go check on kristina , so if you need anything , i 'll be back . connie : all right , sonny . just walk away . just -- walk away from me like i 'm poison . sonny : that 's not what i 'm doing . connie : no , you are looking for kate . but you did n't find kate . sonny : [ sighs ] connie : you found me . luke : i 'm sorry . i 've never been one to shake hands and be a gentleman . duke : well , at the very least , you can accept my thanks for saving my life . luke : it never entered my mind . you were never part of my equation . anna : what are you doing ? what are you doing ? he has n't done anything wrong . luke : no ? are you still in love with her ? duke : i most certainly am still in love with her . the thought of anna kept me alive . anna : [ sighs ] luke : well , you 're not the only one . all that time over there , i did a lot of thinking . you and i have n't exactly lived blameless lives , and i think that 's why we understand each other . that 's why this works . but it 's more than companionship and understanding . i 've realized , anna -- i 'm in love with you . which makes us adversaries until the lady decides which one she wants , if she has n't already decided . it seems our angels have been busy building a new , anna : well , thank you . that 's great . i 'm allowed to decide . why do n't we just do pistols at dawn ? luke : look , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to put you on the spot . anna : yes , you are . you 're putting me on the spot . luke : well , let 's -- why do n't we just go home alone and talk this thing out ? anna : no . i moved out . luke : what ? why ? anna : well , i moved out because you went to dig up dirt on him , and i told you -- i explicitly said do n't , and then you got caught and you sent robert , and i just was done with the whole thing . luke : but i was right ! duke : actually , he was right . luke : when i need your backup , i 'll ask for it . we were working things out , anna . look , i -- robert forgave me for sending him off on that wild goose chase after a kid that was n't his own , and i came back and i wanted to work it out with you , and we would have , i think , except that faison showed up with this guy 's face and a bunch of memories of your long - ago romance . anna : are you sure that you do n't resent me for just ignoring you and getting caught up in the whole thing ? luke : i do n't resent you . i 'm in love with you . i just want us to get back to where we were . anna : so much has happened , i do n't even know what might have been at this point . i really do n't . luke : come on . we were on the brink of something important , something real . you ca n't tell me that that does n't count for something . anna : [ sighs ] connie : admit it . you do n't see me . when you look at me , you want to see kate looking back . sonny : i see you , connie . you 've been through so much facing what no parent should have to face . i 'm just trying to help you . that 's all . connie : maybe you are , but you still want to see kate looking back at you . sonny : i miss kate . i 'm not gon na pretend i do n't . why are you bringing it up ? connie : because i do n't know what -- what are we doing ? what do you want from me ? what do you expect ? sonny : you 're hurting , right ? i do n't want to see you hurt anymore . connie : well , then , tell me the truth . sonny : when you love someone and they disappear , you do n't stop loving them . yes , when i look at you -- i want to see kate , and she 's not there . and it hurts . spinelli : ellie , come on . you could hurt yourself and undermine all the -- ellie : i 'm already hurt ! my body and my heart are both shattered into a million pieces ! spinelli : look , you ca n't let me upset you like this . you -- you -- you could undo all the -- ellie : damian , you promised me this would n't happen . i put my faith in you , and you lied to my face about your feelings for maxie and then you slept with her behind my back ! spinelli : you 're angry . i understand . ellie : i 'm furious ! spinelli : yes , and i understand , and i - i wo n't try to reason with you . ellie : oh , excuse me ! i 'm being unreasonable now ? ! damian , i got hit by a car while you were cheating on me ! spinelli : you have every right to be upset and angry . i made a mistake . and i wish i could take it back , but that does n't change the way i feel about you . ellie : spinelli , please -- leave me alone . spinelli : your request is unambiguous and understandable , given the unfortunate circumstances . the jackal knows when he 's not wanted . but , ellie , please know this . i love you . and i am -- deeply sorry that i hurt you . olivia : i thought i 'd seen the last of you , you filthy little mongrel . you stay away from maxie ! dante : what , is this the dog thing again ? really ? steven : liv , are you seeing the dog again ? olivia : you do n't see it ? it 's right there ! okay , now it 's gone . lulu : and you wonder why i worry . olivia : i 'm sorry , everyone . i saw it . i saw maxie 's baby as a dog . patrick : i think you need to give britt a chance , 'cause she 's smart , she 's very funny , and she 's very nice , and i think once you get to know her , i think you 'll like her . emma : i do n't want to get to know britt . patrick : hey , we talked about this , right -- about judging people before you know them , like the new kid at school . you did n't think you were gon na be friends , and then you guys became friends once you got to know her . emma : britt 's not a kid . she 's a lady . and i do not want her to be my new mommy . patrick : okay . emma , nobody said anything about a new mommy , okay ? i did n't say that . emma : my real mommy 's in heaven . patrick : come here . i know you miss your mommy . i miss her , too . but that does n't mean that we ca n't get to know people or let them get to know us , all right ? britt 's just a friend , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . you finish your hot chocolate , and we 'll go home . emma : if i have to have a new mommy , i want it to be sabrina . patrick : emma . sabrina : [ gasps ] dante : whatever -- okay ? this vision means , it 's not literal . lulu : i know ! if i was carrying this child , it would be different . i would feel the child inside of me , and i would know that everything is okay , but i am outside of this process , and i have to ask questions to be a part of it and i have to take everyone 's word for it -- maxie 's and olivia 's and dr. westbourne 's . dante : hey , hang on . hang on . stop . you do n't need to buy in to it , though , okay ? it 's not like this baby is gon na be a dog . britt : okay , that ca n't be a serious question . lulu : i know maxie is not going to give birth to a dog . it 's just -- my mother - in - law is a very grounded , very smart woman , and she had a medical thing where she has these premonitions and they come true . olivia : but , as dante pointed out , my premonitions are subject to interpretation , so -- lulu : look , when maxie chased after the dog and tripped , i thought that 's what your vision was , but you 're still seeing the dog , so it 's got me a little freaked out . steven : liv , was it the same dog ? britt : okay , you ca n't be serious . olivia : well , it was a little puppy -- very cute and very little , fluffy , like a little wolf . lulu : it 's a wolf ? olivia : well , not like a wolf exactly but like a little -- something wild , you know ? like , i 'm not a big fan of the nature programs , but like a little cub of some kind . i 'm not exactly sure what kind . maxie : a jackal . [ washer and dryer sounds ] maxie : a jackal . that explains it . steven : explains what ? maxie : nothing . um , you know , you guys just got back from liberating your dad from a turkish prison , which i 'm not complaining about . this is your dad , and this is always the way he 's acted . but you can tell that it 's stressing you out , and , in turn , that 's stressing me out , and i know intellectually you do n't mean to come off as a paranoid control freak who 's questioning my every move , but you are , and i do n't think that 's healthy for any of us , so maybe we should just take a little break , right , dante ? dante : okay . yeah . i think a break would be good . we can all decompress a little bit , right ? lulu : i get it . i 'm being borderline ridiculous . i would just like to know what this wolf - puppy stuff is . maxie : lulu , drop it with the wolf puppy , okay ? i 'm not giving birth to a dog . dante : okay . she does n't think that . we 're sorry , okay ? let 's stop . maxie : let 's just focus on the good stuff , okay ? your dad 's home . i 'm fine . it 's all good . dante : okay . i 'm tired . i know you 're tired , so why do n't we get out of here ? lulu : yes . okay . i 'm sorry . i 'll try to be more rational . maxie : it 's okay . patrick : okay . come on . let go of sabrina . emma : no . sabrina : emma , honey , you have to listen to your daddy , okay ? patrick : honey , you want a time - out ? emma : i do n't care . if i have to have a new mommy , i want it to be sabrina . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : emma -- sabrina : honey , i miss you , too , okay ? but i 'm not going anywhere . maybe elizabeth can bring you by the nurses ' station and we can have a visit or something . does that sound good ? emma : but why ca n't you come to my house ? patrick : okay , come on . let sabrina go . go sit down and finish your hot chocolate . emma : no . patrick : emma , go sit down . come on -- now . sabrina : [ chuckles softly ] patrick : i 'm sorry . that was -- sabrina : no , it 's okay . do n't worry about it . patrick : i want her to have her feelings , but i think this is really confusing for her . sabrina : every kid has meltdowns , even one as awesome as emma . patrick : i know she 's gon na miss seeing you , but that thing that she was saying about the new mommy -- it 's just -- sabrina : do n't worry about it . kids say things . patrick : yeah , they do . anna : you 've given me a lot to think about -- yeah , certainly . luke : oh , there 's a dodge if ever i 've heard one . anna : i do n't know what i feel . i 'm still grieving robin . and i 'm incredibly humiliated and angry by what happened with faison . but i 'm so grateful that you stand by me . and -- and i 'm incredibly relieved that duke 's alive . so , i do n't know what i 'm feeling . i 'm -- i 'm all over the place . duke : i think we both need to back off . anna : yes , you do . luke : speak for yourself , friend . duke : should i be grateful also now you 've upgraded me from adversary to friend ? anna : i would love it if you could be friends . luke : well , that 's not gon na happen until you give me an answer . anna : i 'm in no condition to make a commitment to anyone . luke : okay . you know where i stand . the ball 's in your court . anna : [ sighs ] connie : wow , is n't that a kick in the teeth , huh ? here i thought we were getting somewhere . sonny : we are . connie : yeah . a couple days ago , i could n't stand the sight of you , and then i kill my kid . sonny : okay , you did n't kill trey . you took him off life support . there 's a difference . connie : it was my fault , sonny . i caused the accident that put him on life support . and i could n't face that fact , let alone take him off the machines , and then you -- you showed up and you took my hand and you helped me through it . and you say you 'd do that for anyone , but i do n't think that 's true . i think you did that for me . you did n't do that for kate . you did that for me ! sonny : maybe i did . connie : see ? we got something , sonny . do n't you feel it ? sonny : yeah . i mean , we -- i do n't -- there 's something . connie : there 's something -- something i could get used to . and there you go , pulling away again , 'cause it ca n't go anywhere because you 're still in love with kate . sonny : i am , yes . connie : but the bottom line is you wish i did n't exist -- sonny : that 's not true . connie : -- because if i went and disappeared , then you could have kate back . is n't that true ? of course every girl has secrets . connie : admit it . you want me gone . sonny : i 'm sorry . connie : do n't you ever wonder who you really love , sonny ? kate , with her made- up life ? that 's not how you loved in high school . that 's not how we were at all . we wanted things . we thought we 'd be together forever . do n't you miss that ? do n't you miss me ? just get out of here . sonny : why do n't you let me help you -- connie : what , integrate me out of existence ? sonny : it 's not like that . connie : then how is it ? ! sonny : screwed up ! connie : yeah , i hear that ! sonny : and i hear you , too , so why ca n't we at least be -- connie : what , be friends ? friends that want other friends to disappear ? well , who needs enemies , then , sonny ? i think you should go now . [ crying ] patrick : you 're not gon na finish your hot chocolate ? emma : it 's cold . patrick : do you want me to get them to heat it up ? emma : no . patrick : i know you miss sabrina . and i think it 's good that you like her so much . emma : i do . i love her . patrick : baby , sabrina 's got her own life . she 's got her own friends , and as important as she is to us , you just have to let go a little bit . emma : but why ? patrick : because she 's not -- she 's not part of our family . olivia : i 'm sorry , honey . i did n't mean to spook you with all my visions , but , like dante said , they 're not all literal , and this one might just be plain wrong . maxie : it 's okay . you just want what 's best for dante and lulu , and so do i . olivia : okay . but do me a favor . next time you see any dogs , just let someone else go chase after it , okay ? maxie : i will . i promise . olivia : thank you , honey . thanks for indulging a nervous grandma . and thank you , too , doc . i can see that maxie 's in excellent hands . thank you . maxie : i got to go . britt : ah - ha - ha - ha . no , no , no , no , no , no . before you rush off , let me get this clear . you 're planning to pass off the baby you created with damian spinelli as dante and lulu 's child ? maxie : did you know that before surrogacy , dante and lulu were gon na try adoption ? they do n't care about genetics . they want a healthy baby . britt : but they still deserve to know the truth . maxie : this is for the best . britt : are you sure ? maxie : look , spinelli does n't want me or this baby , and dante and lulu do , so it 's all gon na work out , provided you keep your mouth shut . dante : all right . lulu : okay , on a scale of 1 to 10 , how obnoxious was i ? dante : what are you feeling like -- a salad , burger , something like that ? what do you want ? lulu : was i that bad ? dante : [ sighs ] look , i know you 're nervous about everything , and so am i , but we made the decision to have maxie as our surrogate because we trust her , right ? lulu : yes . dante : so , we made the decision to have maxie as our surrogate because we trust her . so , i think now we have to start showing that we actually do . lulu : i wish that i could be like you and be very kind and supportive . i do n't know why i flip into crazy when i think about the baby . that 's not true . i know why i flip into crazy -- because i want a child so badly . and i already love our son or daughter , and i just do n't want anything bad to happen . dante : if you think of all the bad that might happen , you miss out on the joy that 's right in front of you . look , two months ago -- okay ? we did n't even think that we would have a child of our own , but now our son or daughter is on their way . so , let 's just try and enjoy that miracle . lulu : say that again . dante : um -- which part ? there was -- there was a lot . lulu : that our son or daughter is on their way . anna : well , are you gon na remind me of the love we shared and tell me why i should choose you ? duke : no . i 'm not going to do that . are you disappointed ? anna : what do you mean ? duke : well , i love you . make no mistake -- i want you back , but , i mean , i 'm operating at a bit of a disadvantage . you 've already had a reunion with faison . it 's gon na take you a while to trust me . anna : but i will . i just need some time . duke : oh , okay . but , i mean , even if there was no faison , i ca n't expect to just reappear in your life and things not to have changed . you 've had relationships . i mean , obviously , you have a relationship with spencer . anna : i do n't know what we mean to each other , really , and i seriously doubt that luke would know , either . duke : well , i 'm not gon na pressure you into giving me an explanation , anna , and i 'm not gon na force you into making a choice . i 'm not gon na press myself on you -- not the way that faison did . i mean , with all my faults , the one thing i always was with you -- i was fair . anna : yeah , you were . duke : so -- i 'm not gon na press you . however -- i will always love you . | sabrina runs into patrick and emma in kelly 's . emma asks her when she will babysit again . patrick says sabrina ca n't babysit anymore . emma wonders if sabrina has stopped liking them . patrick says sabrina is too busy to babysit right now . emma wonders if she is too busy for the nurses ' ball , too . sabrina assures emma that the nurses ' ball will go on . when sabrina goes to get her food , patrick tells emma that they can do things with britt instead of having a babysitter . emma says she does n't like britt because she is mean . she says she does n't want to get to know britt and she does n't want her to be her new mommy . she says that if she has to have a new mommy , she wants it to be sabrina . she runs over to sabrina and hugs her . patrick apologizes to sabrina . sabrina tells him not to worry about it . spinelli confesses to ellie that he slept with maxie on new year 's eve after ellie did n't meet him on the roof . ellie says maxie knew that she was going to meet spinelli and suggests that maxie sabotaged her car and met spinelli in her place . spinelli says maxie does n't know anything about cars and that she would n't sabotage them that way . he says maxie was emotional about the baby and he was drunk . she tells him that he obviously wants to be with maxie and tells him to get out . she says her heart and body are both broken and she is angry that she was hit by a car while he was cheating on her . she calls him spinelli and tells him to leave her alone . he says he loves her and is sorry for hurting her , and then he leaves her room . lulu overhears britt telling maxie that she needs to tell dante and her something . lulu asks britt if everything is ok with the baby . maxie glares at britt . britt vaguely says the baby that maxie is carrying is doing well . dante asks maxie what she wanted to tell them . she says she is taking more folic acid . britt tells them that they are her patients too and they are entitled to know all the details of the pregnancy . olivia sees maxie holding a dog again . lulu says she thought the dog visions would stop after maxie tripped over the dog . olivia says that this time it looked like a wild animal cub . maxie sees spinelli and concludes that olivia must have seen a jackal . when everyone else leaves , britt asks maxie if she is planning to pass off her baby as dante and lulu 's . maxie says dante and lulu considered adoption before surrogacy so genetics do n't matter to them . she says spinelli does n't want her or the baby so it will work out for everyone . |
[ telephone rings ] anna : oh , do you have any updates on franco 's whereabouts ? nathan : not yet . i was about to check in with dante , follow up a lead . anna : you know what ? let falconeri handle all of that . i want something else from you . updates on the silas clay investigation . sam : you want the rest of my muffin ? silas : no , you finish it . sam : you know , i ca n't remember the last time i actually had a muffin , french toast , eggs , and tater tots . silas : well , you have a healthy appetite . for a lot of things . sam : hey ! silas : ow ! why 'd you kick me ? sam : come on ! no more sleepovers for you . silas : do n't think it was the sleeping that made you hungry . sam : oh , no ? silas : no . well , as much as i hate to leave , i , uh ... should get going . i heard the , uh , new chief of staff runs a tight ship . brad : oh . uh ... oh . dr. obrecht : good morning , mr. cooper . nikolas : [ grunts ] britt : [ sighs ] damn it . nikolas : oh . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to wake you up . britt : oh , no . no , you did n't . no , i was just hoping this would all still be a very bad dream and my mother was safely locked in a cell somewhere . nikolas : instead of taking over as chief of staff at the hospital ? britt : my mother is my new boss . [ groaning ] ohh ! dr. obrecht : mr. cooper , i believe your shift at the lab starts at 9 : 00 a.m. not 9 : 01 , not 9 : 02 , and certainly not at 9 : 09 ! brad : what are you doing here ? dr. obrecht : have n't you heard ? i 'm your new boss . sam : none of this really makes sense . how could a former fugitive become chief of staff and you are just passed over ? silas : well , consensus opinion is the new chief of staff has leverage over someone . sam : okay , i would want to normally help you find answers to this , but i think we 've got bigger problems . silas : mm . detective west . sam : detective west . yes . we have to figure a way to get him off your back , and i think the only way to do that is to prove that ava is the one who tried to kill your wife . [ cell phone chimes ] [ keyboard clicking ] ava : [ scoffs ] julian : what is it you think you 're doing ? morgan : i do n't know what to do . i mean , i have to play by julian 's rules , but i -- i ca n't let you go . ava : then do n't . morgan : but if my father finds out , he 's never gon na believe i 'm loyal to him , ava . ava : sonny does n't have to figure out that we 're still together . just trust me . [ opening door ] we 'll find a way . sonny : what are you doing , son ? brad : you 're the new chief of staff ? you 're britt 's mother . dr. obrecht : you think i ca n't be both ? a woman , a mother ca n't head a hospital ? brad : no , of course not . i would never say anything remotely like that . dr. obrecht : good , since i 'm here to stay . while i have you here , we might as well go over my notes for you . brad : your notes ? dr. obrecht : surely you would expect nothing less from new chief of staff . i have assessed your management at the lab . inefficient would be a generous word . not to mention all the security holes . brad : you did n't seem to mind those security holes when you stole dante and lulu 's embryos and implanted them in your daughter . dr. obrecht : how dare you . you will never bring that up again -- here , of all places . need i remind you we both stand to lose a great deal if that comes out . i would assure that this is a secret you take to your grave . felix : hey . leave him alone . anna : i understand dr. clay came in here and attacked you in the squad room . is that right ? nathan : he was n't happy that i told his girlfriend he was married . anna : oh , i presume that 's what you were referring to when you said you rattled his cage . how did that work ? nathan : well , clay finally agreed to an interview . anna : where his answers satisfactory ? nathan : well , i asked him about this prescription . anna : yeah ? well , that 's written by dr. clay for himself , is it ? nathan : yeah , and dated the day his wife went into a coma . anna : okay , so , i take it that this antidepressant is what nina clay o.d . 'd on . nathan : her prescription was for pills . this is for liquid . anna : oh , so , your theory is that dr. clay injected his wife intending to kill her and make it look like an overdose . nathan : that 's right . anna : so , what was his response to that ? nathan : well , he denied it . anna : yeah . have you had the handwriting analyzed yet ? nathan : no , clay wo n't give us a sample of his writing . anna : oh . not cooperating with the police is n't a crime . nathan : yeah , but i know he 's lying . anna : yeah , that 's not gon na stand up in court . i need more proof . we have this new d.a . , and he lost his first case . long story short is that unless we have ironclad evidence , he 's not gon na pursue anything . nathan : i 'll get it for you . anna : i 've given you a lot of leeway with this . nathan : i know , and i appreciate it . anna : and you 're exhausted . nathan : i 'm working on my own time . anna : you are exhausted . nathan : no , i 'm good . i 'm good . anna : i let you pursue this case in the hopes that it could pull ava jerome in , but that has n't materialized . and i doubt that dr. clay is gon na come barging back in here and attack you again in the squad room for a second time . it 's more likely that he 's gon na file a harassment suit , which i do n't have the time or the budget to go against . nathan : clay wants to come in here after me , let him . anna : no , look . if it were to come to that , do n't misunderstand me . i 'll have your back . but , as commissioner , it is my job to put my limited resources where they will do the most good . i need you to be working on current cases . so ... nathan , i have to shut you down . nathan : please do n't do that . commissioner . anna : a decision has been made . nathan : i just need a little more time . anna : why ? why is this case so important to you ? sam : hey , do you remember mr. nakamura ? silas : nakamura ? hey , was he the pharmacist in manhattan north ? sam : exactly . yes . you 're right . silas : wow . sam : and according to hospital records , mr. nakamura is the one who filled the prescription that you supposedly wrote for yourself . so , i 've been doing a little research . we 've been e - mailing back and forth , and he was on his way to syracuse to visit family , and i convinced him to stop and talk to me . silas : you 're kidding ? sam : mm - hmm . silas : well , you know , i 'd cancel my shift and sit in with you , but obrecht fired the chief of pediatrics for a lot less . sam : i know . you 're intimidated , are n't you ? silas : no , i 'm not intimidated . sam : [ laughs ] silas : i 'm not intimidated , but , you know , if i ca n't deal with her , i want to have the joy of quitting . i 'm not gon na let her fire me . sam : okay , that sounds more like you . silas : okay . good luck with nakamura . sam : thank you . silas : you look pretty . sam : bobbie ! bobbie : hey . sam : hey . any news on carly ? bobbie : no . no , you know , and the longer she 's gone ... sam : hey , they 're gon na find her . bobbie : yeah . and thank you for looking after lucas . sam : gosh , i was so surprised to run into him yesterday . i really wish i had more time to talk to him , but when our father showed -- when i say `` father , `` i use that term very loosely . bobbie : whoa , whoa . sam : but when he showed up -- bobbie : wait a minute . what are you saying ? lucas saw julian ? ava : do n't be so rude . i was nice enough to take you in after sonny 's girlfriend evicted you from both your office and your hotel room . julian : well , it looks like you 've been busy texting your little cub . aww , what do you know ? morgan misses you , too . thought you agreed that you 'd stop all this ? ava : no one knows . julian : this jeopardizes too much . these little love notes have to stop . if sonny gets onto the fact that morgan still works for our family , ava , that will be the end for us . ava : you do n't have to worry . morgan and i have been careful . after all , we fooled you . julian : well , you 're just distracting the kid . it 's been weeks and he 's brought us nothing that we can use against his father . so ... what are we going to do about that ? morgan : sorry , i did n't hear you . sonny : you were texting . seemed important . who was it ? morgan : it was michael . he was giving me an update on mom . sonny : mom , you know , she 's a survivor , as you know . we 're gon na find her . morgan : yeah . you know , michael 's been pushing the cops . i kind of feel like i should be there with him , but i do n't want to get in the way , you know ? michael : yeah , well , dante 's running the investigation with the cops , and , shawn is looking for her , and i 'd be looking for carly myself , but i got to deal with the jeromes . morgan : why ? are they still giving you -- still giving you trouble ? sonny : it 's all gon na change tonight . morgan : why ? what 's -- what 's going on tonight ? [ footsteps ] sonny : tonight ... we strike back . nathan : why is this case so important to me ? anna : yes . nathan : there 's a woman who 's been in a coma for over 20 years . now , whatever her life could have been , it was cut short because of what her husband did to her . anna : yeah . what happened to nina clay was a tragedy , but the evidence against her husband is circumstantial . nathan : i know he did it , though . anna : i think we already went over this in our initial interview . nathan : you said a good detective keeps an open mind . anna : i do n't see any of that happening at the moment . you have circumstantial evidence and a plausible scenario . nathan : the scenario being silas clay tried to murder his wife and left her trapped in a bed for 20 years . excuse me . anna : oh , i have seen this happen before . a detective working a cold case gets obsessed and then loses sight of the squad 's priorities . nathan : this is why i became a cop . to bring people like silas clay to justice . is n't that our job ? anna : yes , of course it is . but the odds against solving a case , they diminish with each passing year . and after two decades , it 's highly unlikely this case will be cleared . meanwhile , there are fresh cases right here in port charles , ones where you can actually make a difference . nathan : yes , ma'am . anna : one week . nathan : ma'am ? anna : yes , you have one week to get fresh evidence against dr. clay . after that , we 're done , okay ? nathan : one week . anna : one week . dr. obrecht : this does n't concern you , nurse dubois . how i run my hospital is none of your business . felix : yeah , something tells me that h.r . might disagree . they might even call this a hostile work environment . dr. obrecht : very well . remember to be more punctual next time , mr. cooper . brad : yes , doctor . [ sighs ] thanks for the save . felix : do n't worry about it . brad : really ? i mean , we kind of mixed it up the other day , and i 'm surprised you 're even speaking to me . felix : i should have said this before now . i 'm sorry . britt : you know , it 's not just the job . my mother has somehow managed to wrangle a total pardon . i mean , she -- she almost kills duke lavery , she kidnaps ben , she held robin as prisoner , and she should be locked away for the rest of her life , but now she is the chief of staff at general hospital ? [ sighs ] nikolas : i tried getting answers from the board , okay ? if anyone knew anything , they certainly were n't talking . britt : well , that 's it . i 'm -- i 'm not going in . nikolas : what do you mean you 're not going in ? britt : come on ! work for my mother after everything she 's done to us ? no way . it 's not worth it . i quit . nikolas : you have a contract . britt : so ? i 'll break it . i mean , who cares if i do n't work anywhere for a little while ? nikolas : okay , if that 's what you want to do . britt : what ? nikolas : look , i 'll support any decision that you want to make . it 's just that your mother 's already taken so much from you , i would be sorry if she took your job . you know , you 're an excellent doctor . you love what you do . you really want to give that up just to avoid your mother ? britt : [ sighs ] i guess i do have to go in . i ca n't let her win . [ groans ] nikolas : there 's no reason you ca n't be a little late . britt : oh , no , no , no , no . coming in late in my mother 's world is even worse than not showing up . [ laughing ] she has a thing for punctuality . nikolas : that is too bad . britt : [ whines ] oh , what the hell ? [ giggles ] sonny : how 'd it go ? i thought we -- it 's fine . he 's on the same team . anything you say to me you can say to him . duke : well , it worked . i made contact . sonny : oh . morgan : wait , wait , wait . with who ? what 's going on here ? sonny : oh , duke reached out to an old friend of yours , carlos rivera . so ... duke : yeah , he 's been in hiding for quite some time . he 's been out of the loop , so the poor fool does n't realize i 'm no longer working for julian jerome . i 've arranged for him to meet me here in one hour . morgan : and then what ? sonny : well , we 're gon na use carlos as bait to draw out julian , unarmed , unprotected . and then we 're gon na finish him off . julian : i agreed to keep morgan around because you assured me that he could be useful . but he has n't been so far . ava : what are you doing ? julian : it 's about time i had a little chat with your adolescent bedmate . ava : oh , come on ! do n't ! do n't send that . you 're worried that i 'll expose us , sending a few texts , and you 're asking him to come here ? do n't you think that sonny is having the building watched ? julian : morgan will be fine as long as he comes through the garage . i know he 's no rocket scientist , but even he should have that much sense . ava : what is the matter with you ? you are in an exceptionally foul mood today , and i do n't think it 's because of my relationship with morgan . julian : [ sighs ] you 're right . it 's not . ava : then what ? julian : yesterday i , uh ... i finally met my son . bobbie : wait a minute . you 're telling me that lucas knows that julian jerome is alive . sam : yeah , that 's right . he ran into both of us , me and julian , just outside yesterday . bobbie : oh , god . sam : i mean , he seemed a little freaked out . who can blame him ? but , of course , i thought he would have told you . bobbie : no ! no , actually , he texted me last night and he said that he wanted to spend the night at your place 'cause he wanted to get to know you and danny better . sam : my place ? bobbie , he did n't -- he was not at my place last night . bobbie : oh , god ! oh , no ! well , then where would he go ? lucas : call off the dogs , mom . bobbie : i 'm calling the police . lucas : call off the dogs . i 'm here . ava : lucas ? i thought he lived in seattle ? julian : oh , he does , but he was -- he was at kelly 's yesterday , which i should have realized he 'd be in town now with his sister carly missing . ava : and i take it he did n't welcome you with open arms . julian : of course , he had no idea i was alive until he saw me . which he did not take very well . lucas does n't want any more to do with me than sam does . ava : well ... i 'm sorry , julian . it hurts . i know . kiki still wo n't speak to me . it 's terrible . but i did warn you this could happen , did n't i ? so , i guess it 's time that we admit it . julian : [ sighs ] ava : it 's just you and me against the world . julian : so where does that leave your boyfriend ? ava : what do you mean ? julian : ava ... we need to figure out ... what to do about morgan . morgan : what do you want me to do ? sonny : i do n't need you to do anything . i do n't want you anywhere near . morgan : but i want to help . sonny : you check with your brothers , figure out what 's going on with your mom . morgan : dad , i 'm just gon na do something stupid if -- sonny : no , you 're not . morgan : dad , come on . when things are bad , you know , i have a knack for just making them worse . sonny : okay , i disagree with that . morgan : okay , look , hey . dante is a cop , okay ? he knows what he 's doing . michael can keep it together way better than i can . if i was down at the pcpd , i 'd probably hit someone , you know , be locked up by now . sonny : you got a temper . you get that from me . i 've learned how to control it a little bit . you 're gon na do the same thing . morgan : yeah , but if i screw up and they ca n't find mom -- sonny : you 're not . the jeromes are my problem . what you need to be doing is getting your brothers together and figuring out what you 're gon na tell your little sister . [ cell phone chimes ] morgan : you know what ? yeah . yeah , dad . you 're right . julian : now , morgan needs to shape up ... or i 'll have to put an end to our arrangement . felix : can we talk somewhere in private ? brad : uh , sure . [ elevator bell dings ] nathan : dr. clay . hey , doc . thought i might find you here . silas : what do you want ? i got work to do . nathan : yeah , so do i . [ alarm beeping ] nathan : i thought we might follow up on our last conversation . silas : that conversation ? that conversation 's finished . nathan : yeah , not until you admit that you gave your wife that overdose . brad : okay , so , what did you need to tell me in private ? felix : you 're right . i tend to butt into situations that do n't ' concern me . brad : yeah , which worked to my advantage just now . felix : yeah , but i got to learn to pick my battles . i had no right telling patrick sabrina 's private business or to go off on you about yours . i 'm not saying lying for britt was right , but i 'm not without sin myself . so , i 'll stop casting stones ... if you can accept my apology . what do you say ? can you forgive me ? bobbie : oh , thank god ! when i found out you were n't with sam , i was so worried . lucas : my fault . i never should have told you i was going over there . but it 's just -- i did n't want you to worry about me when you 're already afraid for carly . and i 'm sorry , sam . no , i never should have involved you in my life . sam : no harm done . i 'm just glad it all worked out . bobbie : why did you feel you had to lie to me ? lucas : why did you lie to me , mom ? why did n't you tell me my biological father was alive ? [ knock on door ] morgan : hey . ava : hey . morgan : you wanted to see me ? ava : we 're not alone . julian : that was me who texted you , kid . sorry . i had to make sure you got here right away . morgan : what do you want ? julian : what do i want ? i want information -- about sonny , his plans , his organization . you 've been back with your father for awhile now , and yet you 've given me nothing . morgan : yeah , i told you . i 'm trying . julian : well , not hard enough . i thought we had an understanding about what would happen if you did n't follow through . julian : so many other options -- your mother . michael . well , of course , you do n't really care about them , so , let 's see here . oh , hey . i can always go back to the hospital , finish max off , huh ? morgan : it 's just -- it 's -- it 's been tough to get my dad to trust me lately . okay , but , i got something today . julian : what ? morgan : duke lavery is working for my dad . sonny : any questions about how this is gon na go down ? duke : none . sonny : so , you can handle it ? right ? duke : absolutely . anna : duke ? duke : anna . what are you doing here ? anna : following up on a lead in carly 's disappearance . sonny : did you find her ? anna : no , but there 's nothing concrete . as soon as we have something , we 'll notify the family . what are you doing ? why are you here with ... sonny ? [ alarm beeping ] anna : [ scoffs ] silas : you do n't really expect me to confess , do you ? see , i know all your little tricks . you 're just trying to get me to slip up , 'cause deep down , you know you got nothing . and right now , your boss is down at the police station . they 're probably losing patience with you and all your little antics . you want my advice ? you want to impress the brass and you want to do the right thing ? you stop harassing an innocent man and you use whatever leeway you have life to go find the person who actually did this to my wife ! nathan : and who is that ? silas : you want me to do your job for you ? if i were you , i 'd start with ava jerome . nathan : you 're gon na throw your mistress , the mother of your child , under the bus ? silas : you know what they say about assumptions , detective . because you make a lot of them . you assume because i was unfaithful once that i did not love my wife . you assume that it does n't break my heart to think about nina every day in that coma for the past 20 years , when she should have been out living her life with or without me . you assume that i do not want justice for her now . well , you can have all of those assumptions , but you 'd be wrong about all of them ! nathan : doc , you 're the one who wrote the prescription . you wanted your wife out of the way . silas : do you ever get tired of being wrong ? ! nathan : you wanted her dead . silas : i 'm gon na say this for you nice and slow so you can understand . you ca n't prove it because it 's not true ! nathan : come on , doc . be a man . just admit it . we 're alone . it 'll be my word against yours . silas : [ sighs ] [ elevator bell dings ] britt : oh , my god ! i am so late . i really have to go now . nikolas : i know . after pressuring you not to quit , it would n't be fair of me to make you blow off work , would it ? britt : no , not fair at all . not that i do n't mind the sentiment . nikolas : here . sit , sit , sit . britt : [ chuckles ] nikolas : listen . i promise you that i will get to the bottom of whatever happened to your mother . okay ? someone will have some answers . britt : you 're the best . you know that ? [ chuckles ] brad : do n't feel too guilty . i 'm certainly no saint . done pretty of bad things recently . i mean , the only good i 've managed is getting you to be my friend . felix : [ laughing ] brad . brad : okay , maybe friend is pushing it , but at least you cared enough to take on obrecht for me . felix : i was happy to do that . and i hope we are friends . brad : you think you can look past all the reasons you should stay away from me ? felix : maybe i do n't want to stay away anymore . for awhile there , i thought we were on our way to , um ... brad : to what ? felix : to something more . i mean , we never quite made it there , but not for lack of trying on your part . so maybe i ought to try , too . brad : what do you mean ? felix : why do n't you and i go on a date ? lucas : i 'm not angry , mom . at least , i do n't want to be . i 'm just trying to understand . bobbie : [ sighs ] look , i know that i should have said something sooner , and i was about to tell you yesterday . lucas : but you did n't find out yesterday . you 've known this for months . is that why you stayed in port charles after the wedding ? [ chuckles ] and why you 've been so weird with me on the phone . bobbie : i was trying to protect you . lucas : i do n't need you to protect me anymore , mom . bobbie : no matter how old you get , you will always be my baby ! lucas : i 'm a grown man . [ chuckles ] i have a job . i pay my taxes . i have n't needed a babysitter in at least a decade . i just wish you could realize that . bobbie : i 'm sorry . i know i can be overprotective . but julian jerome is dangerous , and i did n't want him to take advantage of your curiosity . lucas : of course i 'm gon na be curious , mom . i 've always wondered about him . and i get it . we 're all worried about carly . but do you really think that this is something that you needed to let me figure out on my own ? bobbie : [ sighs ] sam : lucas , i can totally understand why you 're curious . i was curious , too . but i 'm gon na tell you right now , julian will only disappoint you in the end . lucas : like he disappointed you ? sam : yes , he saved my son 's life by donating bone marrow . i will give him that . lucas : sounds like a point in his favor . sam : julian was n't acting out of kindness or compassion . he was using my son as leverage . he started a mob war with sonny , and he knew that sonny would never kill him , just in case danny would need him again . and if he would use my son , his grandson , as a hostage , can you imagine what he would do to you ? lucas : i appreciate the warning . i probably wo n't want anything to do with him . or maybe i will . either way ... it 's my choice to make . julian : you 're sure ? lavery 's working for corinthos ? morgan : yeah . went to work for my father as soon as he left you . julian : [ chuckles ] oh , that son of a bitch . i knew he would n't go away quietly . morgan : he and my dad are gon na take you down . plan starts tonight . ava : thank you , morgan . julian : okay , let 's just start from the beginning . what exactly is corinthos ' plan ? duke : i just took the launch back from spoon island . anna : you were at wyndemere ? duke : yeah , i went to meet with nikolas cassadine about a job opportunity . and when i got back here , i ran into mr. corinthos , and i was trying to convince him to cooperate with you . you know , that unpleasantness at the warehouse . anna : what ? i appreciate the thought , but i 'd prefer it if you did n't jeopardize the integrity of my investigation . duke : of course , you 're right . do n't know what i was thinking . anyway , i 'll walk you back to the office . anna : no . i have some questions for mr. corinthos . duke : all right . i 'll see you back at home . anna : mm . sonny : if this is about the last time i saw carly , i already gave my statement , but , you know , i 'll tell you as many times as you need to hear . but it 's pretty obvious that franco grabbed her . my kids are terrified for her . so , as long as you do everything your possible -- as much as you can to find that freak . anna : i know . the investigation -- we 're looking for franco and carly . that 's ongoing . that 's not what i want to discuss with you . sonny : what do you want from me ? anna : i 'd like answers . dr. obrecht : thank you . i believe the problem has been resolved . i want an explanation . who stopped the elevator ? nathan : i did . detective nathan west , pcpd . dr. obrecht : you work for anna devane ? nathan : yes , ma'am . i 'm investigating your head of oncology . dr. obrecht : why are you investigating dr. clay ? nathan : he tried to kill his wife . he could be a danger to your patients . dr. obrecht : the only one putting my patients in danger is you , detective . nathan : i 'm sorry ? dr. obrecht : by monopolizing an elevator , which is vital to the work of this hospital . nathan : i 'm pretty sure your other elevators are working . dr. obrecht : do n't be flip with me , you ... petty bureaucrat . nathan : actually , ma'am , i 'm a petty detective . dr. obrecht : and i am a doctor and expect to be addressed as such ! inform your commissioner that i will not tolerate anyone interfering with the practice of medicine . dr. clay is one of the most talented members of my staff , and this hospital pays him to use those talents , not to fend if she wants to badger a member of my staff , she can do it on her own time , but not at this hospital ! nathan : i will give her your message . this is n't over . dr. obrecht : so ... is it true ? did you try to kill your wife ? brad : are you serious ? felix : yeah , i 'm serious . do n't tell me you 're not interested anymore . felix : are you kidding ? i 've been pursuing you for the better part of a year . i thought it 'd never happen at this point , especially after a fight . felix : so , is that a yes ? brad : yes , it 's a yes ! felix : [ sighs , chuckles ] that 's a relief . i got to go . the brutchess is gon na notice if i 'm not at my station . i get off of work at 8 : 00 . i 'll meet you in the parking lot . um , you pick the place . brad : it 's a date . felix : all right . brad : [ chuckles ] bobbie : lucas , i just wish you could understand why i kept this from you . lucas : i do understand , mom . it 's just like when we found out i had diabetes and when i came out . you want to fight my battles for me . bobbie : where you going ? lucas : just , uh ... need a little time to think . it 's a lot to deal with . bobbie : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] i blew it . sam : no , you 're a mother . you did what you thought was right . he 'll come around . i promise you . he 'll be okay . lucas : [ sighs ] julian : so , that 's the plan ? use carlos as bait . morgan : they 're meeting on the pier in an hour . ava : thank you , morgan . you certainly lived up to your end of the bargain . julian : yeah . you certainly did . morgan : what are you gon na do about it ? sonny : i 'm sorry , commissioner . i do n't know what you 're asking of me . anna : the shooting at the warehouse ? sonny : yeah ? anna : you know , you sticking that story of yours about you were cleaning your gun and you accidentally shot max . sonny : yeah , that 's what happened . anna : oh . sonny : now , i 'm a little disappointed right now . because you 're harassing me about an accident that happened on my property when you should be looking for carly . anna : robin thinks so highly of you . sonny : why are we talking about robin ? anna : i just believe that it 's because you just show her the one -- the one face . you know , the one aspect of who you really are . the good man , the loyal friend , the loving father . sonny : are you questioning my love for my children ? anna : no , i 'm sure you do love your children -- and all their mothers . and i do n't doubt that your concern for carly is real , but you 're not above using that to stop me from following up on the shooting . see , and that 's the part of you that robin does n't see . the part of you that 's just utterly ruthless . sonny : i do what i have to do to protect what 's mine . anna : i 'm aware of that . so , you 'll be hearing from me . sonny : good save . she just left . duke : i hated doing that . but anna could n't know that i 'm working with you . sonny : she can not know what 's going down tonight . julian : well , avery thinks the only person he 's going to run into is rivera , but instead he 'll find me . and i 'll be the last person he ever sees . [ elevator bell dings ] felix : good morning , dr. westbourne . britt : what did you just say ? no `` dr. west nile `` ? no `` wicked witch of the westbourne `` ? not even a `` britch `` ? felix : i 'm in too good a mood for name calling today . brad : metro court ? yes , i 'd like to make a reservation . your best table for two . 8 : 30 , for cooper . thank you . lucas : here you are . did n't you get my text ? brad : [ chuckles ] lucas : by the time i woke up , you were already gone . did n't even give me a chance to give you a proper goodbye . brad : [ chuckles ] nakamura : oh , samantha morgan ? sam : hi . mr. nakamura . nakamura : oh , hi . sam : very nice to meet you . please , sit down . nakamura : thanks . like i said in the e - mail , i 'm retired . manhattan north seems like a lifetime away . sam : well , maybe this will refresh your memory . i want to talk to you about the prescription that put silas clay 's wife into a coma . nakamura : um ... silas : my wife 's in a coma . she was given an overdose of antidepressants . it was n't me who did it . dr. obrecht : actually , i would prefer if you did n't say anymore . what happened between you and your wife is none of my business . i 'm sure you had your reasons . silas : do you understand the words coming out of my mouth ? i did n't do it . dr. obrecht : i was n't speaking in hyperbole when i said you 're one of the most talented doctors on my staff . i know you 're disappointed that i was given this position and you were n't . such is life . but we share a passion -- medicine . i hope we can learn to work together . just , please ... deal with your personal life on your own time , hmm ? [ telephone rings ] nikolas : anna . anna : yes ? nikolas : hi . anna : oh , hi , nikolas . what can i do for you ? nikolas : well , i 'm sure that you 've heard that liesl obrecht was named chief of staff at general hospital . anna : [ sighs ] god , yes . i did . i 'll fill you in on what i know . so , thank you for seeing duke today . nikolas : what do you mean ? anna : the job interview at your house . nikolas : uh , no , i 'm sorry . you must have misunderstood . duke was n't at wyndemere . ava : are you okay ? morgan : no , i 'm not okay . i just signed duke lavery 's death warrant . [ footsteps ] duke : carlos ? julian : guess again . | britt wants to quit her job because she ca n't work with her mother as her boss , but she goes to work anyway after making love to nikolas . sam and silas think dr. obrecht must have leverage over someone . sam tells silas that she has contacted mr. nakamura , the pharmacist who filled the prescription that silas is accused of writing for himself . anna tells nathan west that the evidence that he has wo n't stand up in court . she gives him one week to wrap up his case , because she needs him working on current cases . nathan gets on the hospital elevator with silas and pulls the emergency button to stop the car . he tells silas to confess to attempting to murder his wife . silas tells him to stop harassing him and to go find out who really put his wife in a coma . he tells him to start with ava jerome . nathan says silas is throwing the mother of his child under the bus for his crime . when a maintenance worker opens the elevator and obrecht asks who stopped it , nathan says he did , so he could question dr. clay about trying to kill his wife . obrecht severely scolds him for monopolizing hospital property and the most talented doctor on staff . she tells him to investigate dr. clay on his own time and not in her hospital . when west leaves , obrecht gleefully asks silas if he really tried to kill his wife . he tells her that his wife is in a coma , but that he did n't cause it . mr. nakamura meets sam at kelly 's . sam shows him a picture of ava jerome and asks him about the prescription that put silas clay 's wife in a coma . |

[ breathes deeply ] you got to whine and dine the fat cats of this town if you want to line your pockets with their dough . michael : their dough . fluke : donations . this is nonprofit , right ? lucas : mm - hmm . he 's right . elq ca n't write off the clinic every single year , can it ? medical equipment 's expensive . michael : [ sighs ] okay . what the hell ? yeah , let 's do it . let 's -- let 's throw a party . fluke : excellent ! i 'll have lulu get her staff to arrange everything . lulu : you seriously know your drinks . i better watch it . you 'll be running the place . kiki : i hate that my mom and avery are separated . dante : i know . it 's , uh ... got to be tough to be away from your mom , but , uh ... ava did a pretty vicious thing . and my mom and i , we obviously loved connie very much . kiki : i know what my mom did was terrible . it 's just hard for to reconcile the person that we 're talking about right now with the mother who raised me . dante : sure . kiki : i 've been too forgiving lately . i wish michael was the same way . dante : i wish so , as well . i 've never seen him the way he is right now . i think he 's just really hurting . kiki : i know . dante : you guys will figure it out . i mean , i know it 's complicated , but ... kiki : yes , it is . and morgan kissing me did n't help . michael : what 're you doing here ? morgan : was talking to lulu about a job . lulu : i 've been giving morgan a verbal quiz on mixology . if he has the skills to back it up , i 'm gon na hire him as a bartender , keep it in the family . michael : you 're gon na work here . morgan : is that a problem ? michael : you tell me . morgan : maybe we should do this another time . lulu : no , morgan , wait . dad , what are you all even doing here ? fluke : i want to book this place for a party -- you know , to celebrate the completion of the waterfront revitalization project . lulu : that 's a great idea . lucas : yeah . right ? that 's what i thought . this place is perfect for the party . michael : you know , i 'm not so sure anymore . jordan : not that i 'm looking forward to digging up a grave ... shawn : well , by all means , feel free to leave . jordan : you 'd mentioned that sonny called . i 'm gon na guess that ... he asked you to dig up this poor man 's coffin . so , who is this william eckert ? shawn : `` bill `` to his family and friends . we think he 's your old boss . nina : you 're kind of scaring me right now . do ... do i need franco to come here and protect me ? heather : of course not . i 'm sorry , sweetheart . i did n't mean to make you uncomfortable . i just thought you seemed sad , being separated from your friend . nina : my only friend , actually . he -- he tried to get sent here with me . heather : that would 've been interesting . nina : yeah . you know who was afraid ? i was . he said that he 'd be here with me . um ... but the judge did n't buy his insanity defense . heather : that damn brain tumor ... nina : you know about the brain tumor ? heather : sure . i mean , it was all over the news last year . do n't you watch `` access port charles `` ? nina : oh , i -- i was in a coma . heather : interesting . nina : yeah . i think about franco from the minute i wake up . it does n't matter . he 's gone . everything i loved is gone . that 's what i get for trusting my mother . ava : you 'd sell out your own daughter for a `` get out of jail free `` card ? what kind of mother are you ? madeline : look who 's talking . you sold out your eldest more times than i can count . ava : that is not true . madeline : you lied to her about her paternity time after time after time . and for what ? ' the mob ? a piece of elq ? ava : you have no idea why i lied about her father . madeline : then why do n't you enlighten me , ava ? one mother to another . heather : it 's easy to blame the mother for all of another person 's problems . nina : well , no , but in my case , it 's true . um , remember ... i mean , the coma that i mentioned ? uh , my mother put me in the coma . because she wanted -- the baby that i was carrying , she wanted it to die . heather : you 're right . your mother sounds horrible . nina : yeah . she took my entire life away . why would a mother do that to her child ? heather : it 's all right , honey . go ahead . let it all out . i mean , you 've been through a lot , have n't you ? nina : yeah . you 've been so amazing to me . your son does n't know how lucky he is . why could n't i have had a mother like you ? heather : who says you ca n't ? julian : what do you want , franco ? franco : what do i want ? what do i want ? that 's a really good question . sonny : if you want , we can just kill you . franco : yeah , but then they 'd probably , you know , lock down the whole block and then search all the cells . and who knows what they 'd find , right ? would n't it be more expedient for you to just meet my terms ? sonny : that would kind of depend on what your terms are . franco : i want your phone . heather : i know your mother hurt you . but that was in the outside world . in here ... i can be your mother . sonny : i did n't think there 's anyone in the world that you would call . franco : you 've been using a phone to look after your people . i want to use the same phone to look after mine . heather : come to mama . kiki : okay , look -- morgan was really upset after he found dante : so , uh , morgan kissed you recently ? kiki : okay , look -- morgan was really upset after he found out that avery was sonny 's daughter and not his . it did n't mean anything . it ca n't . not after everything that happened last year . dante : but that stuff 's all in the past . i mean , you guys became good friends , right ? kiki : i know . i would n't have gotten through any of this without morgan . dante : maybe you guys are more than friends . kiki : [ chuckles ] that would be complicated . and if michael ever found out , he would hate us even more than he already does . lulu : michael , what 's wrong ? michael : i do n't want to have the party here anymore . morgan : thanks for the job offer , lulu , but obviously this is not a good time . michael : i 'm glad we agree . lucas : michael ... michael , one night . fluke : what is the point of having a new waterfront if nobody knows about it ? michael : morgan knew who shot aj , and he lied to cover it up . it would be a dishonor to this clinic if morgan worked the party . fluke : or you could look at it another way . you could look at it as a new beginning , a fresh start . now , if i can do that with the old house , you can do it with your brother ! michael : i 'm sorry , but i strongly disagree . morgan : i 'm sorry that you ca n't be mature enough to deal with this , michael , honestly . michael : you 've gone this long without a job . what 's one more night , okay ? after the party , i promise you , i wo n't set foot in here again . morgan : that 's fine . i 'm gone . but you know what ? for the record , i think it 's absolutely ridiculous that you ca n't watch me pour drinks for a night , especially when it 's gon na help this cause that 's supposedly so near to your heart . michael : look , i 'll happily hire a freelance bartender for the evening . lulu : you do n't have to do that , michael . i get that this is complicated . i want you to know that dante and i are not taking sides . michael : thank you . look , i 'm sorry for what that was -- whatever that was . lulu : hey , hey , hey . you do n't have to tell a spencer that family is messy . i 'm gon na go after morgan , okay ? michael : i 'm , uh ... sorry , guys . lucas : it 's okay . fluke : hey , do n't let a little domestic discord ruin your day , for god 's sake . this is gon na be a great party . nobody is ever gon na forget it . trust me . jordan : you do n't think faison was the one impersonating luke spencer all these months ? shawn : no , that was just a diversion . we think this supposedly dead man was the real brains behind the operation . jordan : so he was the one wearing mask . shawn : he did n't need one . bill eckert and luke were related and have always shared the same face . jordan : so what are we waiting for ? let 's dig . sonny : phone ? i do n't know ... franco : okay , now you 're just wasting my time . the more time you waste , the more likely i am to go tell the guards everything . julian : what 're you gon na do with the phone ? franco : there 's somebody i want to check up on . okay ? when i 'm done , i 'll give you your phone back . you can plan as many prison breaks as your little hearts desire . what 's it gon na be , sonny ? pleasure doing business with you . nina : i 'm sorry . i 'm slobbering all over you . heather : it 's okay . you need someone in your corner . and that someone is me . i 'm gon na look out for you . nina : thank you . thank you . i do n't even know your name . i 'm nina . heather : hi , nina . nice to meet you . i 'm diana -- diana taylor . and i think this is gon na be the beginning of a beautiful friendship . [ chuckles ] ava : i just meant that you do n't know me . you do n't know my reasons for doing anything . madeline : well , if you were interested in sharing your altruistic reasons for lying , maybe somebody would be inclined to help you get out of here . ava : piss off . madeline : crass , as always . guard : okay , ladies , free time is over . madeline : oh . is it that time already ? well , i 'm gon na turn in early tonight . i want to look my best when i testify tomorrow . night - night , ava . sweet dreams . ava : thank you for getting rid of her . do n't mention it . you see , i could n't have her witness what 's about to happen next . if you think about it , there are so many ways that i can hurt you . i could do you in right here , right now . ava : why are you doing this ? who sent you ? [ chuckles ] lady , you got so many enemies . what does it say that you do n't even know which one of them wants you dead ? jenkins , we have an incident down in cell block h ! to be continued . you 're not going anywhere . until next time . [ cell door closes ] you 've got a call . nina : me ? it 's your lawyer . make it quick . nina : okay . alexis ? franco : nina , it 's me . no , no , no , wait . do n't -- do n't say my name , okay ? if you can talk , if you want to talk to me for a second , then ... say , `` yes , alexis . `` nina : yes , alexis . franco : i 'm , uh ... i 'm really sorry . i 'm sorry for ... i 'm sorry for everything . and i 'm sorry i have n't been in touch . nina : i - it 's okay . it 's good to hear from you . i was worried . franco : yeah . i 'm worried about you . we 'll figure something out . you okay ? you doing okay ? nina : yeah . it 's hard . this place is scary . believe it or not , i ... i think i made a friend today . julian : man , i ca n't believe you had to give that freak franco our phone . sonny : he would 've given us up to the guards . we do n't need that extra scrutiny . julian : well , what we do need is the phone to plan our escape . sonny : it bought us some time , and time is all we need . one way or another ... we are breaking out tomorrow . lucas : you okay ? michael : i 'm fine . lucas : look , i know things are hard with morgan right now . michael : [ sighs ] look , like i said , morgan 's gone this long without working . he can survive one more night . do you think we can just focus on getting the clinic up and running ? lucas : yeah . kiki : so , it looks like you have a future in the haunted star , huh ? morgan : i hope so . i mean , you know , i ca n't keep going on like i am now , spending every day , all day , doing nothing , living with my mom . kiki : well , now that you have a job , that 'll change . when do you start ? morgan : well , i wo n't be working the private party coming up , that 's for sure . kiki : why ? what happened ? morgan : ran into michael . lucas : i was really nervous for the longest time about jumping into medicine . you know , i was just afraid that i could n't live up to tony jones ' legacy . but this clinic , man -- this clinic is what makes all the hard work worth it -- to get to help all the people that need it the most . [ breathes deeply ] michael . hello , michael ? did i lose you ? michael : sorry . uh ... yeah , yeah , no , this is gon na be great . lucas : yeah , it 's awesome -- right ? -- that uncle luke offered to throw us a launch party . it 's pretty gracious of him to be willing to put the past that he and my mom had in that house behind him . luke : [ muffled shouting ] fluke : what 's that , mumbles ? you trying to say something ? luke : did you ... h - hurt my sister ? fluke : which one ? [ gasps ] oh , bobbie . yeah . i remember now . i told you i was gon na bash her brains in , did n't i ? well , you can rest your spiky little head . i saved her life because she quit yapping about a bunch of crap that was none of he business . jordan : shall we ? luke : you mean her talking about bill eckert ? is that it ? is that who you are ? come on ! out with it ! are you bill eckert ? ! fluke : [ chuckling ] you should n't worry so much about who i am . you should worry about what i 'm gon na do . [ wooden thud ] jordan : it 's the coffin . [ thudding ] fluke : i 'm throwing a party at the haunted star . and i 've invited ... bobbie , tracy ... lucas ... michael ... well , basically , everybody in town that you care about . luke : why ? what are you planning ? ! [ coffin lid creaking ] [ next_on ] sonny : ( to shawn ) was bill eckert 's body where it should be ? dante : ( squatting near eckert 's grave ) who the hell would wan na do this ? nina : ( to heather ) can you keep a secret ? franco : ( to guards , as they search his cell ) whatcha lookin ' for ? t.j. ( to jordan ) did you flip on the jeromes ? ava : he sent someone to kill me . luke : ( to fluke ) why are you doing this to me ? | jordan follows shawn to bill eckert 's gravesite . shawn asks her if she is a cop . she gives him every reason to believe she is not a cop . she asks him who william eckert is . shawn says he is guessing it is jordan 's old boss . he tells her that faison was a diversion and that luke 's supposedly dead lookalike relative is probably the one running the show . shawn digs up the grave and opens the coffin . |

[ scene_break ] dara : the district attorney is n't interested in bringing luis alcazar 's murderer to justice . his whole goal is to put jason morgan behind bars . he started out the day by trying to twist brenda barrett morgan 's words into some sort of confession that jason morgan committed this crime . but when that failed , he pulled the oldest trick in the book . he badgered the witness until he got her to say something that could be construed as some sort of admission of motive . okay , that 's very dramatic , but it 's very predictable . it 's the kind of trick a prosecutor uses when he knows he does n't have a case . in brenda 's own words , she hated luis alcazar . she wanted him dead . those are thoughts that most of us have had privately about someone in our lives . but brenda barrett morgan never admitted to killing luis alcazar , and that 's because she did n't do it . the district attorney so desperately wants to convict jason morgan of some sort of co - conspiracy that he wants you to make the leap from hatred to murder . he has intimidated witnesses , he has slanted evidence , all believing that you , the jury , are that easily led . now , you know as well as he does that lives are at stake here . the prosecution 's whole case is based on circumstantial evidence , and the eyewitness testimony of two women -- ida warren , who may have been coerced and bribed for her statement , and mysteriously died before she could even testify , and skye quartermaine jacks , a known alcoholic who was drunk when she gave her testimony and who has some sort of vendetta against brenda . ladies and gentlemen of the jury , if you have a shadow of a doubt , you can not convict . and there is more than a shadow of a doubt in this case . there is some sort of cloud over these proceedings , led by a district attorney whose whole motivation is to convict an innocent man . it is your job , it is your duty , to see to it that brenda barrett morgan is not used as a pawn in his game to try to convict an innocent man . if you look closely at this case , the whole case just falls apart . the only thing that points towards the truth is a verdict of not guilty . thank you . judge : the trial has ended . jurors , please convene to decide your verdict . you may be excused .

i know i forced you to help me , and i 'm sorry , elizabeth . but that was before they did the -- you know ? elizabeth : yeah . right . um -- you 're just supposed to rest right now . manny : elizabeth ? i hope that , you know , you are n't afraid of me anymore . alexis : selfish things he can do -- i mean , picking on poor emily of all people ? ric : you know , if i did n't know any better , counselor , i 'd say you 're jealous . did n't you defy all of the warnings to stay away from sonny ? alexis : yes . ric : and did n't you defend him for years ? alexis : they were billable . i made a fortune . ric : alexis , you 're acting like you 're holding a torch for the guy . alexis : oh , my . the only person that i 'm holding a torch for is you . you and i have what i would call -- and i dare say this -- a real relationship . you get to be you , i get to be me , and we do n't try to change each other , and it 's working . ric : mm - hmm . alexis : i did n't do that with sonny . i tried to save him , i tried to rehabilitate him , make him a better man . i know that -- that i could n't do that , so i know better now . ric : i understand that that was a very expensive lesson for you to learn . alexis : and look who i ended up with . i know that sonny 's not going to change . i just know that emily does n't understand that . ric : ok , i agree with you . but do n't you think that emily needs to learn that on her own ? alexis : i think it 's going to come at too high of a price , and i 'm worried that he is going to ruin her life . sonny : you should n't be here , emily . emily : alexis was being unfair . sonny : she was being honest , you know . i am selfish , i destroy people 's lives , especially women . alexis is proof of that . emily : she 's just bitter . sonny : well , she did n't used to be . i -- you know , alexis and i were friends at one point . she was smart , she was funny , but you see how we are with each other . she gets , you know , defensive . i shut down , i want her to go away , but you know what ? the truth is we 'll always be connected because of kristina . i 'm sure for the rest of our lives we 're going to be biting our tongues , choosing our words very carefully for the sake of our daughter . alexis and i obliterated our friendship because we ept together . i would hate to see that ever happen to you . i 'm starting to need you in my life . and if we got together , and you turned against me like alexis , i do n't know if i could live with it . emily : yeah . i 'm not sure i could , either . sonny : i 'd rather have you in my life as a friend than risk losing you altogether . elizabeth : do you know why you 're in the hospital ? manny : i was at the courthouse , at my trial . and guards locked me in the holding room . someone shot me . patrick : how 's it going ? elizabeth : oh -- um -- mr . ruiz has just regained consciousness . his -- he 's alert and responsive and his vitals are good . robin : mr. ruiz , i have a very important question for you . do you remember who shot you ? manny : yeah . alexis : so what did i walk in on before ? ric : well , sonny thinks that manny 's still a threat . alexis : it does n't really matter what sonny thinks , does it , because manny gets a defense . that 's the way the system works . ric : well , i understand that , but that same system got sam mccall sitting in jail tonight . alexis : i 'm sorry for that . it 's unfortunate that she got arrested in her own bathroom . she 's got to control herself . she 's spouting off in open court . she 's framing him . she very well may have shot him . ric : i know , and she also is attacking you on a very personal level every chance she can in this trial . alexis : you 're not saying that i have a personal grudge against her ? ric : no , no , no , no , no , you are a fierce competitor . but i just do n't want you to be so focused on winning that you lose sight of what 's really important here . you can win the case without exploiting sam 's anger . alexis : you think that i drove sam to shoot manny ? ric : no , no . not at all . listen to me . this is a very controversial case and emotions are running very high . i -- [ phone rings ] alexis : alexis davis . robin : manny ruiz just woke up and he wants to speak with you . emily : i ca n't imagine what it would take to turn me against you and make me look down on you the way alexis does . sonny : if we slept together , it would change everything . that 's all i 'm saying , emily . emily : sonny , i understand if you do n't want to take this any further . oh -- i realized something tonight -- that i 've been selfish in pursuing this . i never even realized what you 're up against . sonny : i 'm fine . do n't worry about me . emily : no , no , no . i 'm a grown woman . i -- i 've been married and divorced twice , right ? i survived breast cancer and -- and rape , i 'm in medical school . but everyone acts like you 're some kind of a child molester because you 're interested in me . that 's how alexis was acting tonight , and that 's how my parents feel . sonny : your -- look , alan and monica would never want you to be with me . and i -- you know what ? i 'm not sure i can blame them . emily : they warned me that getting involved with you would be a mistake , right , but no one ever tells me that i 'm sick and wrong and twisted to even consider it . you 're being judged unfairly because of me and my feelings , and , sonny , i 'm so sorry . sonny : neither one of us has done anything wrong . jason : alcazar came to town to destroy sonny . but you defended him , and eventually you married him . no matter how much we talked about getting rid of alcazar , sonny did n't want to do something to a man that you cared about . carly : unless you count the time he shot him and i ended up with a bullet in my brain . jason : come on , sonny thought he was hurting you , carly . carly : i got in the middle . yeah , i know . jason : look , i just want you to be ready , ok , and i 'm going to tell you this . you can not protect alcazar anymore . do you understand ? skye : you do n't have to pretend to ignore carly . lorenzo : if there 's any man in this world that she truly loves , it 's jason . she believes she 's permanently tied to him . she calls it family . i think it 's some twisted dependence on one another . skye : hmm . more of like a co - dependence . they need each other way too much . lorenzo : it has nothing to do with love . i finally understand that . skye : yeah , well , sometimes the unhealthiest ties are the hardest to break . lorenzo : right . well , it took me a while , but i 'm free now . skye : i 'm still not sleeping with you tonight . we agreed not to rush things , remember ? lonzo : yeah , i agree . you 're definitely worth waiting for . carly : lorenzo loved me in his own way , but he never accepted me for who i am . i think it was always about getting back at sonny . jason : i just want you to be prepared if something should happen . carly : i do n't wish any harm on lorenzo , but i 'm not going to get in the middle . so you do what you have to do . i wo n't stop you . jason : ok . all right , i got to go . oh -- can you get a ride home ?

lucy : why ? why did you do it ? why did you sacrifice your son ? scott : my son ? lucy : your son -- franco . i mean , you issued a warrant for his arrest ? why would you do that -- just throw him aside to boost your own career ? you know , you have never been the most virtuous man , but i certainly never thought you would sink that low . of course , i - i - i just never thought that -- well , not the man that i -- scott : `` the man that i `` what ? mr. nakamura : this woman -- sam : give me a - a second , will you , please ? detective , it 's good to see you . nathan : really ? sam : yeah . nathan : i would n't have expected that . sam : well , i 'm about to solve your case . nathan : still defending dr. clay ? sam : with good reason . ava jerome put silas ' wife in a coma using a liquid form of an antidepressant which mr. nakamura is the one who filled . now he is retired , but he used to work at the -- nathan : manhattan north hospital . detective nathan west . mr. nakamura : oh , hi . nathan : i spent a long time trying to find you . sam : and yet a lowly p.i . is the one who figured it out . nathan : well , maybe you 'll share some of your secrets with me someday . sam : i 'm about to solve a murder case . is n't that plenty ? nathan : mr. nakamura , do you know dr. silas clay ? mr. nakamura : oh , we 're acquainted -- were -- when i was at manhattan north . nathan : did you ever fill a prescription for dr. clay ? mr. nakamura : often . sam : of course he filled prescriptions for silas . he worked with him forever . so , have you -- have you ever seen this woman before ? mr. nakamura : i have . ava : i know you 're feeling guilty . morgan : i 'm feeling guilty about a lot of things , ava -- so many that i 'm starting to lose track , all right ? my mom 's disappeared . they found a knife with her blood on it and her psycho boyfriend 's prints on it . i 've been a complete jerk to her . i ca n't even tell you the last time that i talked to her . ava : i 'm sorry . morgan : you know where my dad thinks i am right now ? he thinks i 'm with michael , helping them find her , but i lied to him so i could come see you . and now it turns out that you 're not even the one that wants to see me ? ava : of course i wanted to see you . morgan : okay . then julian is sitting here pressuring me into telling him that duke lavery 's working for my father . ava : morgan , you are not responsible for the actions of duke lavery . morgan : no , i 'm responsible for my own actions , okay ? and i basically just sent a man to his death . ava : you are protecting other people in the process . it 's just a matter of perception , really . julian is n't out there committing cold - blooded murder . he 's acting to protect himself from a very real and very lethal threat . and he is n't just protecting himself . he 's protecting me . and , yes , he 's protecting you , not to mention poor carlos . morgan : i just -- i do n't want anyone else to get hurt , ava . max almost died because of me . ava : and carlos would have died if you and julian had n't intervened . you saved his life . morgan ... this can be a very rewarding business . it all depends on our willingness to eliminate problems . morgan : you mean kill people . ava : if that 's what it takes . i 'm sorry . you 're hurting . i can see that . but you knew what you were getting into when you got involved with julian . you knew what you might be asked to do , and when the time came , you volunteered to do it . morgan : ava , no . you do n't understand . ava : you do n't understand . if duke lavery is killed , it 'll be no one 's fault but his own . julian is defending his family , same as you . morgan : i need to tell you something . julian : say , `` ta - ta , `` lavery . shawn : i would n't do that if i were you . duke : did you really think i 'd show up here alone ? you made a terrible mistake . sonny : would n't be the first time . but you know what ?

[ both chuckle ] lucas : ... even though you do n't really feel like a stranger . is that crazy ? i mean , is it just me , or did we really make a connection last night ? lucas : could i get a whiskey , neat ? brad : bad day ? lucas : [ sighs ] that 's putting it mildly . brad : bet mine tops yours . lucas : not likely . brad : loser buys the next round . lucas : well , i just met my biological father for the first time . not exactly what one hopes for in a dad . brad : adopted ? lucas : mm - hmm . brad : if it makes you feel better , i 'm adopted , too , only my biological father turned out to be a notorious gangster . lucas : for real ? brad : does this look like the face of a liar ? sorry . do n't answer that . lucas : this seat taken ? [ sighs ] i thought we got along really well . brad : we did . lucas : good . then maybe we can keep getting along well . silas : i will not be needing antidepressants , thank you . felix : anger management ? silas : do n't you have bedpans to empty or something ? felix : you really should see a doctor about your mood , or -- or -- you can go on a date , like i intend to ... this evening . silas : that 's nice . would you like a medal ? felix : wow . and to think dr. obrecht snagged that chief - of - staff position over you and your winning personality . silas : imagine that . felix : you know , it says a lot that the board decided to hire a criminal in charge over a fine , upstanding guy like yourself , dr. clay . sam : well , will you look at that , detective ? he recognizes ava jerome . mr. nakamura : well , it would be hard to forget such a beautiful woman . sam : well , i 'm sure you remember more than just ava 's looks . i mean , you did fill a prescription for her , did n't you ? mr. nakamura : no , i did n't . sam : but you said you met her before . mr. nakamura : well , i 've seen her , yes , a few times at manhattan north back in the day , but i never encountered her in any kind of official capacity . sam : okay . well , what was she doing at the hospital if she was n't getting a prescription from you ? nathan : maybe visiting her very married boyfriend . mr. nakamura : i would n't want to speculate on that . sam : wait a minute . are -- are you absolutely sure that this woman -- this woman right here , ava jerome -- never asked you to fill a prescription for liquid antidepressants ? mr. nakamura : yeah , i 'm sure . but dr. clay did . scott : finish your thought , lucy . you did n't think i was capable of turning in my own son because i 'm the man ... what ? lucy : the man -- well , you just , uh -- the man that 's always been my nearest and dearest friend . but you know what ? maybe i was wrong about you . maybe you 're not quite the man i thought you were , because , obviously , you 're capable of squandering the one chance you might have to get to know your son ! scott : franco and i are father and son by genetics . i really do n't know him that well . lucy : it does n't have to be that way . what if , one day , you really want to have a relationship with your son and you 've got franco stuck behind bars ? that 'll never happen . scott : i did n't have a choice . anna forced my hand . she leaked some information to carly 's older son , michael , and he threatened to hold a press conference with his brother and his little sister on the steps of city hall , claiming that i was putting carly in jeopardy to protect franco . do you know how fast that would go viral -- that girl holding her brother 's hand , saying that i was protecting my offspring ? lucy : o - okay . all right . so , wait a minute . do you actually believe that franco is innocent ? scott : i think there are some other potential suspects . lucy : who ? like who ? scott : like ava jerome . and i tried to steer anna in that direction , at a big cost to myself here . i mean , do you know what julian would do to me if he found out that i targeted his sister ? julian : you are n't here to kill carlos . you do n't even know where he is . you -- you set me up . sonny : wow . you figured me out . julian : yeah . yeah . so , now what ? sonny : well , now you know what it 's like to be toyed with . julian : okay . so , uh -- so , what , you , uh -- you gon na kill me ? sonny : and risk danny 's life ? i may be a lot of things , but i would never jeopardize a kid 's life by putting a bullet in you , although i am tempted . julian : so ... we 're at a stalemate ... again . have a good day , gentlemen . sonny : where you going , jerome ? the party 's just started . julian : i think i 'll pass . sonny : that 's not an option . i may not be in a position to put you in the ground , but that does n't mean that i ca n't beat you down . julian : corinthos , if you do n't get your hands -- this lug 's hands -- off of me right now -- sonny : no , we 're gon na do that in a little bit . we 're just gon na get a little payback . uh , first dibs ... go to mr. lavery . duke : how very polite of you , mr. corinthos . julian : whoa ! shawn : [ laughs ] sonny : do n't be so stingy ! come on , duke ! here you go . mac : hey , you know , maybe we can take kevin and lucy out this week , like old times . felicia : maybe . mac : you know , help our friends get -- get themselves back into the swing of things . felicia : hmm . well ... we might want to just take our cues from kevin and lucy , you know ? they maybe have more work to do . mac : why would you say that ? felicia : well , it 's just that people 's marriages are n't perfect . sometimes they 're not what they seem to outsiders . mac : kevin says his marriage is fine . do you know something ? felicia , did lucy say something ? felicia : well , you know lucy . you have to take everything she says with a grain of salt . mac : like what ? felicia : oh , mac , please do n't put me in this position . she 's my very best friend . mac : and kevin 's my best friend , and you 're my wife . felicia , if you know something , you have to tell me . felicia : [ inhales deeply ] lucy slept with scott . scott : i 'm in a real pinch , lucy . i 've got the jeromes pulling my strings , i 've got bobbie demanding justice for carly , and i 've got carly 's son threatening to crucify me to the press . lucy : and , on top of all that , you 've got me . here i am , trying to play amateur therapist and bridge this gap you have with a son you do n't even really know at all . scott : yeah , well , you 're trying . you 've got some good points , and i wanted to give franco the benefit of the doubt , but anna did n't let me , so [ sighs ] there 's nothing i can do for him . he 's on his own . and i 'm on my own . lucy : no . you ... are not on your own . lucas : it 's crazy how much you and i wound up having in common . brad : i know . what are the odds , right ? lucas : yeah , that i 'd walk into a bar , meet a guy who 's also adopted , who 's also got a bio dad who 's a shady character , and , on top of all that , happens to be super handsome . [ whistles ] pretty long odds , i 'd say . brad : my father ran a triad in the asian quarter back in the ' 80s . lucas : port charles has an asian quarter ? brad : had . it 's where all the hipsters live now . lucas : huh . and your biological father -- this kim wu -- he was the one in charge ? brad : yeah , he and his grandfather together . yeah , till they got killed . they were pretty badass -- emphasis on the `` bad . `` lucas : huh . brad : back then , things around here were just one step removed from `` big trouble in little china . `` i 'm talking gang versus gang . lucas : no wonder your parents never wanted to tell you about your history . brad : yeah . they always clammed up when i asked . i had to search for answers on my own . lucas : ever wish you had n't ? brad : [ sighs ] i wish ... my search had n't hurt the people who raised me , who i consider to be my real parents , but , nah , i do n't regret knowing the answers . i just wish the truth was different -- that my birth mother had n't died bringing me into the world , that my father was n't this criminal who got rich off the backs of the weak . god . i mean , you do n't know what it 's like to find out you 're a part of something that 's basically ... evil . lucas : actually , i know exactly what it 's like . brad : i ca n't believe your bio dad is a gangster , too . lucas : i 'm still trying to believe it myself . i mean , i knew the name . i knew he 'd been a criminal . but ... it was easier to accept when i thought he 'd been dead for years . brad : a little harder to ignore when the guy 's walking up and introducing himself . lucas : yeah . i mean , at least you get it . you know , we understand each other . that 's why i came looking for you -- well , that and the fact that i think you 're pretty badass -- emphasis on the , uh [ clicks tongue ] you know what . ava : what is it ? morgan : i do n't even know how to say it . ava : you can tell me anything . is it about lavery , julian , your dad ? you can tell me . [ sighs ] the thing is that i 've been wanting -- i 've been wanting to tell you -- ava : julian ! my god ! what happened to you ? ! did lavery do this ? julian : [ groans ] as a matter of fact ... yeah . ava : well , i hope you made his death last . julian : [ groans ] i did n't get the chance . ava : what ? why not ? and where 's carlos ? julian : [ sighs ] carlos was n't there . it was a setup . ava : a setup ? by whom ? julian : sonny . he was expecting me . and there 's only one way that could have happened . your father 's on to you . duke : i 'm sorry , sonny . shawn : it 's a shame , man , but you were right to suspect morgan . sonny : after what morgan did to max , he said he was sorry , said he was , you know -- he was gon na learn from his mistakes . he has n't learned a damn thing . he 's still working for that bastard jerome . nathan : i just want to be sure about this . dr. clay came to you to fill a prescription that was written for him ? mr. nakamura : yeah , that 's true . the prescription was for silas clay . nathan : for liquid antidepressants ? mr. nakamura : yes . yes , sir . nathan : mr. nakamura , this is very important . i need you to be absolutely sure . take a look at a picture of dr. clay . mr. nakamura : well , i do n't think i need to see the picture . that 's him right there . nathan : dr. clay . perfect timing . silas : oh , yeah ? how so ? sam : uh , silas , this is mr. nakamura . silas : of course . thank you for taking the time to talk to us . syracuse , right ? mr. nakamura : right . silas : appreciate you coming to see us . so , were you able to clear things up for the detective here ? nathan : mr. nakamura was very helpful . he 's absolutely sure that he filled that prescription for you , dr. clay . sam : and he 's pretty sure that he saw ava at manhattan north at some point . nathan : yeah , but he 's sure that he filled the prescription for liquid antidepressants for you , dr. clay . silas : no , that 's not true , all right ? i mean , i ca n't swear that ava filled the prescription , but i know i sure as hell did n't . nathan : well , mr. nakamura remembers clearly . silas : how ? after all this time , how are you so sure ? sam : i mean , maybe you could be confused . you have probably filled plenty of prescriptions for him . are you sure ? it was a long time ago . nathan : you ca n't have it both ways . you ca n't tell me that he 's your star witness and then try and discredit his testimony . sam : i 'm not trying to discredit anything . i 'm just saying it was a long time ago . mr. nakamura ? mr. nakamura : well , i do n't want to disappoint you , ms . morgan , but i 'm sure . i mean , the reason i remember the prescription is because it was quite out of the ordinary . nathan : how so ? mr. nakamura : well , i knew that dr. clay 's wife was on antidepressants . i filled her prescription every month . well , then dr. clay appeared with the scrip which said that it needed the liquid form of the medication , and dr. clay had written the prescription for himself . a doctor self - prescribing is technically against the rules . nathan : but you filled the prescription anyways ? mr. nakamura : i did n't think there was any need not to . i mean , dr. clay was on the staff . but , still , i thought the incident was kind of strange , especially when i , um , heard what happened to nina clay . felix : i 'm sorry . i did n't realize you were with someone . brad : i was going over labs with a ... patient . felix : oh . i just ... wanted to firm up our plans . i mean , i 'll call you later . brad : 8 : 30 at the metro court . felix : look forward to it . lucas : that 's him , is n't it -- the guy you mentioned last night ? lucas : so , you still have n't told me why your day was worse than mine . brad : [ sighs ] forget it . you win , all right ? lucas : no way ! ' fess up . [ both chuckle ] brad : let 's just say i had a disagreement with a colleague . lucas : ah . workplace drama . brad : no , personal drama . [ sighs ] all right . there 's this ... guy , all right ? and i thought we had a thing . but turns out we do n't . oh , well . lucas : ahh . brad : too much information ? lucas : no . so , you and this guy -- were you an item ? brad : no . not before , not now . not ever . lucas : mm , i 'm sorry to hear that . brad : yeah . lucas : actually , i 'm not at all . want to get out of here ? lucas : lucky for me , you said yes , and the rest is history . i like your place , by the way . i like it better with you in it . i was hoping for a repeat tonight , but it looks like you 've got other plans . mac : what did you say ? ! felicia : nothing . mac , it 's nothing . please , just let it go . mac : felicia , did lucy sleep with scott baldwin ? yes or no ? felicia : i 'm your wife . you 're my husband . i will not lie to you , even by omission . so , yes , lucy slept with scott . but that does n't mean it 's any of our business , so , please , keep out of it . mac : how did you find out about this ? felicia : lucy told me . mac : when ? when did this happen ? felicia : when lucy and kevin separated . you know , in her defense , she really thought the marriage was over . she was living in her office , so she went to go see scott , and i guess ... he was in the mood and she was in the mood , and then their moods just ... collided . mac : well , that 's one way to put it . felicia : but then lucy realized that kevin was back in the picture , and he was begging her to come back home . he promised that their life would get better . mac : so , kevin is sincerely trying to work things out ... while having no idea that lucy is two - timing him with scott . felicia : no , just once . lucy 's done with scott . scott : you need to go . lucy : i do ? scott : this is n't fair . lucy : what is n't fair ? scott : well , you being all nice and supportive . lucy : oh . you do n't want nice and supportive ? scott : i want you . and you made it clear that you do n't want me , and all this other stuff in between is just too hard on me . lucy : but we have been friends for so long . scott : yeah , but this -- this friends stuff -- it does n't cut it anymore , not when i know that there 's more . but you do n't want that because you put us in the past . lucy : that 's not true . i -- well , i - i have n't put us in the past -- not exactly . scott : well , where have you put us , exactly ? lucy : i do n't know . i do n't know . i - i ca n't -- i ca n't seem to forget , you know , this , us . i - i - i keep thinking about you all the time , and i 'm even dreaming about you , and it -- it wo n't stop . scott : then do n't fight it . lucy : i - i - i got to go . i really do . i got to go . i got to go . i ... am a klutz . scott : no . lucy : yeah , i am . scott : but you are a beautiful klutz . duke : sonny , are you sure that morgan is to blame for julian coming after me tonight ? sonny : i was n't sure before , but i am now , thanks to the trap you set . morgan : whoa , wait , wait . how do you know that my father 's on to me ? julian : your father [ groans ] is many things ... but stupid is n't one of them . obviously , sonny had his suspicions about your loyalty from the start . sonny : i had to test morgan . and the only way i knew how to do that was to , you know , feed him bad information ... to see if it surfaced . julian : sonny concocted a bogus meeting , let you in on it , hoping nothing would become of it . obviously , you did a piss - poor job of selling your father on the fact that , uh , you had a change of heart -- unless ... ava : unless what ? julian : ... there is another scenario . sonny : it breaks my heart ... that my son does n't have an ounce of love left for me . he 's too far gone . morgan : what do you mean ? what other scenario ? julian : one of two things happened tonight -- either sonny discovered you 're a traitor ... or i did . so , were you in on it , morgan ? huh ? you working for me ? or are you working for your father ? ! felicia : please , do n't say anything . mac : but kevin needs to know . felicia : lucy knows what she did was horrible , and she 's putting it all behind her . she 's committed to working things out with kevin . mac : are you sure lucy is through with scott ? felicia : she swears up and down that she still loves kevin and she wants to make the marriage work . mac : but that does n't answer my question . look , how does kevin and lucy 's marriage stand a chance if lucy ca n't be completely honest with kevin ? felicia : well , is n't that for lucy and kevin to figure out ? please , mac , just stay out of it . do n't say anything to kevin . mac : [ sighs ] lucy : [ breathing heavily ] i did it again . scott : you sure did do it . lucy : that 's not funny , okay ? it 's just not funny . i - i knew it was wrong , but i did it anyway . so , maybe i cheat on my husband once and i can call it a fluke -- maybe . but i cheat on my husband twice ... scott : and that means that it 's over . lucy : [ sighs ] scott : lucy , you did this because you wanted to do it , because you want me . and no matter what happens , you got to admit that to yourself . lucy : okay . okay . you 're right . i admit it , all right ? i - i want you , and , yes , you were right before . something has changed between us . something is very different . but i love my husband . [ crying ] and i do n't know what 's wrong with me , because i feel like i 've taken some sort of nosedive off my spiritual path , you know ? i admit that there were times , to be honest -- probably an extended period of time -- that i was n't a very good person . i lied and i cheated and i took advantage of people 's kindness and i even stepped out on several of the husbands i had before , but ... that was the old me . i - i - i did n't know . i was immature and i was selfish and i did n't know what i was doing , and ... i had n't learned yet that you have to trust to get love , and i thought i had changed and i thought i had evolved , but i have n't evolved , have i ? look at me ! i 'm here with you . and i love my husband , but i 'm here with you , and i want to be ... here with you . and i - i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . lucas : look , i can see you 're busy . i 'll get out of here . brad : [ sighs ] lucas ... i did n't lie to you last night . i - i had no reason to believe felix and i stood a chance . then today ... everything changed . we -- we had this totally unexpected run - in . he defended me to my new boss , apologized about this fight we had , and after almost a year of dogging felix , felix ... asked me out on a date . i mean , i ... i hit the trifecta . lucas : yeah . lucky for you , he finally came to his senses . brad : believe me , if that had n't have happened -- lucas : you do n't have to explain . i get it . oh , just one question . this is a first date ? brad : yeah . why ? lucas : means i still have a chance . silas : nothing that you just said is even remotely true . nathan : what reason does he have to lie ? silas : here 's a better question for you , detective -- why would i agree to this little interview if i thought there was any chance that he would incriminate me ? either he is mistaken , which i suppose is possible after 20-some years , or this is a setup and either you or somebody else got to him before sam did . nathan : mr. nakamura , have we ever spoken before ? mr. nakamura : no . nathan : have i ever contacted you -- called , e - mailed ? mr. nakamura : no . ms. morgan contacted me . i drove down to meet with her . silas : oh , wait . you just happened to show up ? nathan : i 'm just here for the coffee . silas : oh , i get it . this is all just a big coincidence . you get handed a cold case after 20 years , and you follow it to port charles . you start making some crazy accusations , and , lo and behold , you uncover a witness who , after 20 years of silence , perfectly backs up your version of events . nathan : well , actually , it was ms . morgan who uncovered the witness , for which i 'm very grateful , by the way . silas : i 'm just curious -- what are you getting out of this ? what are you getting for framing me like this ? nathan : i 'm just following the evidence . silas : no , you 're manipulating the evidence ! that 's criminal . are you willing to torch your whole career to try to take me down ? is that it ? nathan : you 've had 20 years to live your life -- meet your daughter , get to know ms . morgan . what 's your wife been doing all that time , dr. clay -- lying in that bed , where you put her ? silas : i warn you -- you say that again , i 'm knocking you out . sam : hey , no , no , no , no . silas , stop . stop . this is n't gon na do any good . do n't . silas : you know what ? the whole world can believe this nut . you know all i care about ? i need to know that you believe in me , sam . sam : yes , of course i believe in you . but you know what ? there 's something about mr. nakamura 's story that is not adding up right now . mr. nakamura : it 's not a story . it 's the god 's - honest truth . sam : okay , wait a minute . you said that you remember silas from decades ago specifically because his wife fell ill . is n't that right ? mr. nakamura : yes , that 's right . sam : okay . so , if that was so memorable and it was so unreal to you and you were able to connect the two , why did n't you call the police ? nathan : that 's actually a good question , ms . morgan . mr. nakamura : i ... sam : [ pounds table ] you what ? mr. nakamura : i did n't want to get involved . silas : that is such a steaming pile of crap . you know what ? i do n't know why you 're lying , but i 'm done here . i 'm out of here . that 's it . nathan : no , no . i do n't think so , dr. clay . you 're not going anywhere . [ knock on door ] lucy : oh , my god . it 's doc . mac : scott , mac scorpio ! lucy : it 's mac ? ! what does mac want with you ? [ knock door ] mac : open up , baldwin . we need to talk . scott : [ sighs ] hey , mac . ohh ! ugh ! what 's the matter with you ? ! mac : kevin collins . maybe you 've heard of him -- my best friend , husband to lucy , the woman you slept with ? scott : now , listen , mac -- mac : no , you listen to me , baldwin . i 'm only gon na say this once . if you know what 's good for you , you 'll stay away from lucy coe . felix : [ deep voice ] mr. cooper . [ chuckles ] [ normal voice ] what 's the dress code for tonight ? brad : i have no doubt you 'll look great , whatever you wear . felix : okay ! wow . this is shaping up to be the best date i 've had in i do n't know how long . you 're already paying me compliments , and we have n't even left the hospital -- not that i mind . but do n't feel like you need to flatter me . i - i - i want us to really just get to know each other as people . nathan : dr. clay , you 're under arrest for the attempted murder of nina clay . sam : under arrest ? ! is this necessary ? nathan : you have the right to remain silent . if you choose to give up this right , anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . ava : so , now morgan 's a double agent ? julian : why not ? ava : because it does n't make any sense . that 's why not . sonny got exactly two things out of that meeting on the docks . he got proof that morgan is still on our side , and he got to enjoy the sight of duke lavery beating the spit out of you . just face it -- sonny outmaneuvered you this time . admit it and count your blessings . julian : what blessings ? ava : the only reason you 're not dead is that sonny wo n't risk leaving danny morgan without a marrow donor . there wo n't be any bullets fired at you , julian . julian : i suppose you 're right . the only person who should be worried about sonny 's next move is morgan . well , what will sonny do now that he knows his wayward son tried to play him , hmm ? sonny : when my boy came to me , he said he was sorry and , you know , he wanted to come home . so , i hugged him and i believed him , 'cause that 's what fathers do , you know ? you believe your son . but i 've also been doing this long enough to know what a traitor sounds like , and it was too easy for him to come home . what he was saying to me did n't add up . morgan traded his position in the family to get information for jerome . he set me up . shawn : that leaves one question . duke : what are you gon na do about it ? | lucas finds brad at the hospital and kisses him . brad tells him not to come on so strong at his workplace . they talk about meeting last night in the floating rib and finding out that they are both adopted and their biological fathers are notorious gangsters , brad 's being kim wu of the triad in little china in the asian quarter of port charles . brad says he does n't regret finding answers about his biological parents but he hates that his search hurt his adoptive parents . brad tells felix that lucas is a patient . lucas wonders if felix is the guy that brad said he did n't have a chance with . brad says his luck changed today . lucas concludes that he might still have a chance with brad since it 's only his first date with felix . mac pressures felicia into telling him that lucy slept with scott once while she was separated from kevin . she asks mac not to say anything because lucy is committed to working things out with kevin and it is n't their place to interfere . lucy goes to scott 's hotel room and asks him why he threw his son under the bus . he tells her that he wanted to give franco the benefit of the doubt because he has other suspects , but anna forced his hand after michael threatened to hold a press conference accusing him of putting carly in danger to protect his son . he tells her that it is n't fair of her to come to his hotel room when she has made it clear that she is n't interested in having more than friendship with him . they end up in bed again . she hides when mac knocks on the door . mac punches scott and tells him to stay away from lucy . |
curtis : see ? right there . that 's the stuff . jordan : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . wow . yeah , you were right about buzz . his -- his statement rings true . curtis : that 's what i 'm talking about . jordan : but you know he 's also an accomplice , right ? curtis : come on , now . i told you buzz -- he did n't know that that was a bomb that they had slipped him . he thought he was planting a tracking device , and i believe him . he 's lucky he did n't blow his damn head off . jordan : yeah , well , you know , that 's what his lawyer 's gon na argue . we might be able to give him some leeway on that . curtis : and ? jordan : [ sighs ] and he -- he 's a credible informant . yes , he makes for a compelling witness . curtis : yes , he does . and now you can finally admit sonny corinthos had nothing to do with his son 's death . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's the middle of the day . what are you doing here ? not that i mind . michael : uh , i had -- i had a little break . i wanted to have some lunch with my dad . sonny : [ inhales sharply ] okay , that -- i smell onion rings . michael : yeah , and burgers . pretty basic . sonny : yeah . anybody coming to visit me , you know , at any time , it 's welcome . michael : yeah , i know being cooped up must be pretty hard for you , but ... well , listen ... ... the end 's in sight . sonny : yes . diane , she 's gon na do -- the trial 's coming up . she 's gon na do everything she can to give me a good outcome . but i miss your brother . and i 'm not gon na -- that 's not gon na change . michael : i , uh -- i actually stopped by his grave before i came here today . sonny : yeah ? michael : yeah . well , anyway , we should probably eat these onion rings before they get too cold . carly : there 's nothing worse than cold onion rings . i hope you have plenty because i am starved .

[ scene_break ] jordan : i will say this about you , curtis -- you managed to track down buzz , stashed him in a safe house . you even managed to get him to make a statement . i mean , that -- that is solid work . and , yes , of course , yes , you 're right . it should clear sonny of morgan 's death . curtis : should ? jordan : yeah . should . the new da -- she is just so hell - bent on convicting sonny . curtis : so she 's more worried about the win regardless of what the evidence says . jordan : exactly . curtis : yeah . all right . jordan : yeah , and i - i - i 'm gon na have a hell of a time trying to talk her down . curtis : all right , well , damn . uh , maybe i can lean on buzz a little bit more and find out where rudge and boss lady are hiding out . jordan : or how about this -- we bring buzz in . we bring him in , we put him in front the new da . have her listen to him for herself . curtis : i do n't know . buzz is , uh -- he 's kind of jumpy . he 's real nervous nowadays . jordan : oh , okay . curtis : afraid for his life . jordan : how about this ? we go to your place , we go to your boy 's shelter , we convince him that he 's gon na be safe with us , right ? curtis : and so how do you plan on doing that ? 'cause you 've been complaining about your shoes all day . you ai n't ready to do no walking . jordan : and whose fault is that , hmm ? you 're the one with the broke - ass truck . curtis : [ laughing ] oh ! you 're gon na talk about my baby like that . look , um , how did i know that the alternator was gon na go out as soon as we left buzz 's ? ca n't blame me for that . jordan : oh , i do . i can . and i do . curtis : okay , well , relax , okay ? the , uh -- my truck will be repaired in a matter of hours . but as for buzz , that 's gon na take a minute . but we have a late checkout , so why do n't we just hang out and chill ?

[ scene_break ] curtis : you do n't mind hanging out with me , do you ? or should i maybe just kick rocks back to my own room ? jordan : um , that is on you . curtis : yeah . right . uh , yeah , well , then maybe i should just take off . um ... yeah . unless you want me to stay . jordan : curtis , i 'm -- i 'm the police commissioner . i do have other cases to work on , you know . curtis : and there 's not much you can do five , six hours away , but i know you . never been one to sit still when faced with free time . so do your e - mails and your top - cop thing . i 'm gon na go do my thing . but when i come back , all of this comes to a halt . guaranteed . jordan : and i 'm sorry , um ... what is that supposed to mean ? curtis : guaranteed . [ scene_break ] sam : it was you ? you were the driver who hit julian ? alexis : it was an accident . sam : an accident ? mom , you left the scene . that 's a crime . alexis : i know that . i called 911 , and i panicked , and i left before they got there . and when i went to the hospital to see if he was okay , he told me that he knew that i was the driver , and he blackmailed me . sam : [ sighs ] alexis : he said that he would go to the police if i did n't take care of him , which i did at ava 's house , and then he wanted to come here , and i really was n't in a position to refuse . sam : oh , okay . it 's starting to make sense . that 's why you did n't want us here for christmas , because he was here . alexis : i did n't want to ruin your holiday . sam : and that rudge guy . he came here looking for julian . he knew he was here , right ? so you were basically lying the whole time . what else were you lying about , mom ? alexis : my drinking . i 've been drinking from morning till night ... sam : [ sighs ] alexis : ... for months . sam : mom , i -- [ sighs ] which is why i hit him with the car , because i was drunk , and i got behind the wheel . i have a problem with alcohol .

[ scene_break ] julian : look , there 's no need to keep calling me about this . i said i 'd neutralize jason . and that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm glad you 're home , joss . i missed you . josslyn : i did n't want to come back . not if it meant living with sonny . i told mom that i would never , never , never live with him again . nelle : but your mom and sonny are getting back together . did n't she tell you that ? josslyn : i do n't care ! he killed my brother . michael : joss , i -- i know i explained this to you , and i know mom has , too , but ... my dad 's not responsible for morgan 's death . josslyn : okay , so maybe he did n't plant the car bomb . he 's still not completely innocent . i mean , your dad 's a mobster . that 's how he does business . and , yeah , i know i 'm not supposed to know that , and we 're not supposed to talk about it , but that does n't make it any less true . michael : i hear you , joss . i - i -- [ sighs ] i blamed dad just like you did , probably even worse . no cutting him any slack , black and white . he 's guilty . and you know why ? because it 's a lot easier to be angry than it is to grieve . [ scene_break ] sonny : you want a glass ? carly : oh , no , thank you . i 'm already fighting jet lag . this coffee is gon na keep me awake long enough to get josslyn and get her back to my house and get her settled . sonny : she really does n't want to come anywhere near here ? carly : sonny , it took everything in me and jax to get her on that plane to come back to port charles . sonny : i 'm surprised jax even agreed . carly : well , if it were n't for the fact that he 's gon na be traveling on business for the next three months , she 'd still be there . i mean , thankfully , jax talked her into coming home , but only after they made a deal , and i had to agree to it . i had to promise that she would n't have to live here . sonny : what about you ? carly : josslyn 's gon na be at my house . i mean , as much as i want to be with you , i 'm gon na stay with my daughter . [ scene_break ] kiki : did he kill tom ? elizabeth : no ! no . no . kiki , listen to me . he did not kill tom baker . kiki : how can you be so sure ? elizabeth : he told me that he was n't gon na go to prison . maybe he is on the run . uh , his dad is also looking for him . scott asked me to meet him in the bar in branford , and when i got there , franco 's car was in the parking lot , and ... and i found this in the same alley where tom baker was killed . kiki : [ whispering ] is that blood ? elizabeth : yeah , i do n't know whose yet , but i do know that franco would n't have run away without his phone , and he would n't have left without calling you , and no matter how things were left with us , he would n't have just disappeared without giving me a way to connect with him . i 'm afraid something really bad has happened to him . [ scene_break ] sam : i had a feeling that you were struggling with your promise not to drink . i -- i knew you were in trouble . i just -- i did n't know how to ask the question , and so i did n't , and i ignored it , and i 'm really , really sorry . alexis : no . do not be sorry . be mad . because you have every right to be . i was drunk when i babysat your son . sam : mm . alexis : and when i was n't drinking at home alone , i drove to branford to drink , where i would n't run into anyone that i know . [ chuckles ] but i ran into julian , did n't i ? literally . well , that 's not funny , is it ? shockingly , julian was helping me detox and pushed me to go to aa . which i did . and i 'm , uh , two days sober . so , ironically -- tragically , i guess ... i have julian to thank for that . [ scene_break ] jason : i got your text . i really ca n't believe i 'm here , so i hope you 're in the mood to talk . [ sighs ] how are you involved with rudge and whoever his boss is ? julian : i 'm not working with him . jason : yeah , i was afraid you were gon na waste my time . listen , we both know that you 're connected to these people , and i know that you 're behind morgan 's death , and as soon as i can prove it , i 'm gon na sort you out . trust that . julian : hey , what i have to say affects you , it affects sam , and it affects your children . so , please ... have a seat , huh ? [ scene_break ] michael : look , joss ... [ sighs ] grief is hard . all right ? i get that . [ scoffs ] the shock , the unfairness , the helplessness of losing morgan is excruciating . [ sighs ] and , look , if i could take that off of you -- if i could take that off you , i would . i would in a heartbeat . i would take it off you . but you got to go through it . morgan deserves our sorrow , not -- not our misplaced anger . he -- he deserves us coming together , being there for each other , loving each other . not -- not being mad and tearing our family apart . josslyn : [ crying ] i just miss him so much . michael : i know . oh , joss , i miss him , too . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : i want so much to believe that after the trial 's over and , god willing , you 're cleared , that it 's gon na be a fresh start for our family . sonny : it will be . it can be . you got to just -- you have to believe that . carly : okay , and i believe that you believe that . today . i believe you mean it today . but what about the day you find out who 's really responsible for morgan 's death ? what happens then ? [ scene_break ] curtis : [ laughs ] jordan : [ laughing ] no , you did n't -- no , you did not . is that from that no- name place on denfield ? curtis : mm - hmm . jordan : i mean , i knew that we were in walking distance . i -- i did n't think that they were still there ! curtis : oh , it is . and it is going strong . jordan : are you kidding me ? [ gasps ] oh , gim me gim me ! lake trout ! oh ! mmm , and their western fries ? please tell me -- please . curtis : oh , damn . i forgot the fries ! jordan : you what ? ! that is the most -- that is the most important thing ! curtis : open the bag .

[ scene_break ] kiki : did franco 's phone have any of his last texts or calls on it ? elizabeth : i could n't check . it must have been submerged in a puddle at one point 'cause it was -- it was soaked , and i took it to the phone store to see if they could help me dry it out , but they were more interested in selling me a new phone , so they never even checked it , which is probably for the best . [ sighs ] kiki : what about the woman that franco thought might have killed tom ? the one that he wanted to protect , because he 'd hurt someone that was close to her in the past ? do you have any ideas who that might be ? [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't believe this . are you actually giving julian credit for getting you sober ? alexis : it 's only been two days . let 's not get carried away . he did help me through the rough part . you know , i 've been to one meeting , and , uh ... he did say that , at some point , i 'm gon na have to start apologizing for what i did , and so you could ... let me know when you 're ready . sam : not yet . i 'm not -- i 'm not ready . i want you to know that i love you and -- and i support you , and i will be here for you for whatever you need , but there -- alexis : [ sighs ] sam : there 's something else that i have to talk to you about first , mom . it 's -- it 's why i came over here . it has to do with something that elizabeth webber said , and at first , i thought she was crazy , implying that you had something to do with tom baker 's murder . i insisted that there was no way that you could be involved . and she told me that i did n't know you at all . [ scoffs ] well ... is there any truth to that ? alexis : i may have killed tom baker . [ scene_break ] julian : you know , i was gon na tell you something at the hospital . then i decided against it , but ... now i 've changed my mind . so . [ clears throat ] here it is . sam showed up at alexis ' today unannounced . jason : how do you know that ? you having her followed ? huh ? julian : no . no , i know that because i was there . you see , sam discovered me . alexis decided to come clean with her . i figured you 'd eventually find out , so i just decided to tell you personally . jason : okay , julian . [ clears throat ] i will bite . tell me what ? julian : [ clears throat ] well , the reason that sam found me at alexis ' house is because , uh ... i 've been living there .

[ scene_break ] nelle : you know what , joss ? hey . michael 's right . you know ? if there is some all - knowing , all - loving being out there , then why do bad things happen to people ? but they do . and it 's scary , and it 's random . but , you know , sometimes unfair things , horrible things , happen to people . josslyn : so what am i supposed to do , just shrug it off and forget about my feelings ? nelle : you know , someone once told me that if i stayed stuck in my anger and wallowed in it , i 'd become a victim to it . so i think what your brother is saying is that you have to move through the anger to get through the grief . joss , you are so lucky you have so many people who love you and support you , including me . you have a great family , josslyn . your stepfather made some bad choices , but i remember when i first came here , you were happy living with him and your mom . you know ? and the josslyn i see now is n't happy at all , so ... you know , maybe that 's something to consider .

[ both chuckle ] curtis : remember travis and wren ? they used to call that catfish . jordan : i know . curtis : catfish ? come on . jordan : no . how about richie and eliza thinking that it was whitefish , when everybody knows that it 's snapper ! i do n't know what they 're thinking . curtis : or do they ? jordan : see ... wow . just up all night in the back of van , discussing the fish sandwich and just -- curtis : mm . mm - hmm . jordan : man . that was so tedious . curtis : some of the best times of my life . i mean , we could , you know , wait this out in separate rooms . um , you know , you could do your top - cop thing and i could -- i suppose i could go back to my room and practice mindfulness and , you know , reflect on my misdeeds and how i can be a better man . jordan : give me a break . curtis : no ? jordan : no . curtis : or maybe , perhaps , we could continue reminiscing with a sizzling , steamin ' , red - hot game of poker . jordan : i 'm dealing .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i left the bar , and i ended up in an alley . and he was there and he approached me . and i screamed for help , and then he ... pulled a knife on me , just like julian did , and i went crazy . and i somehow got hold of the knife . sam : and then what ? alexis : i do n't know . i do n't remember . [ sniffles ] but the body was found in that alley with some strange knife and ... i was holding a knife , so who else could it be ? sam : i do n't -- mom , the police would have questioned you if they had any evidence against you , right ? alexis : they 're chasing after franco . sam : yeah , but franco 's missing . they think he 's on the run . alexis : but he did n't do it . and he 's got something on me . sam : oh , mom . alexis : and ... i fully expect the police to come knocking on my door . sam : hey . i got to go . i love you .

lainey : do you want to be cured ? lucas : that 's what my mom wants . that 's -- that 's why she set all this up , right ? lainey : so why did you agree to come ? lucas : because she 's my mom . and the look on her face at the police station . she deserves better than to see me all beaten up and yelling at her . lainey : you must love her very much . lucas : i ju want to be the son that she wants . lainey : well , let 's talk about what you want , lucas . do you want to be gay ? lucas : does n't matter . you know , being gay is like -- it 's like having blond hair or -- or being tone deaf . it 's just who i am . lainey : how long have you been aware of it ? lucas : took a while for me to realize i was n't like everyone else . you know , i was sick a lot when i was younger and that kind of , you know , tangled up things . lainey : hmm . lucas : and then i started playing soccer . and one summer i was at soccer camp and we had this college guy that was the coach and all the girls had a crush on him . so did i. i 'm spencer on one side and then jones on the other , so , you know , being gay is not really an option . i 've tried not to feel the way that i feel for years . and , uh , i just want to be the person that my family wants me to be , and i hate myself because i 'm not and i hate myself because i 'm not who i want to be , either . lainey : that sounds pretty exhausting . lucas : it is . and , uh , i 'm sick of it . i 'm tired of -- tired of hating myself , tired of pretending . lainey : you know who you are , lucas . that already puts you ahead of the pack . lucas : really ?

i know what happened to you , and i 'm sorry , i really am , but this thing with you and sonny , it affects my children . emily : no , wait , this is n't about protecting your children , carly . carly : yes , it is . emily : no . carly : yes , it is , because michael and morgan adore you . as much as i hate it , that 's a fact , and they adore jason , and when this big romance between you and sonny goes wrong -- and it will -- someone that they care about is going to disappear from their lives . so do you really want to do that to the two little boys that you claim to love ? emily : carly , stop trying to make me feel guilty , because it 's not going to happen ! carly : really ? how many people have told you that sonny is wrong for you , hmm ? how many ? me , your parents , your friends . hell , when was the last time elizabeth and i agreed on anything ? they may be so worried about you , but i 'm worried about sonny , ok ? emily : you want him for yourself , do n't you ? carly : i want him with anyone except for you . he can go back to alexis . hell , he can hook up with robin if he feels like it . but you are the one person who has the potential to destroy him . yes , you are . so if you wo n't do it for your own sake , do it for his . john : manny ruiz is a cold - blooded killer who shot his own father in the back . he has admitted responsibility for the glencoe tunnel tragedy , for shooting robin scorpio , for shooting jason morgan , and for terrorizing sam mccall , as well as countless , countless other women . alexis : my client admits that he was a violent man . he 's not denying his criminal past or the reprehensible things that he 's done . john : why should n't mr . ruiz confess ? whshould n't he swear that he 's a brand- new man , hmm ? he knows it 's the only chance he has to go free . if you believe him . alexis : you heard undisputed medical testimony that the malformation in mr . ruiz 's brain caused his violent behavior . once the doctors performed the surgery to correct the problem -- john : according to ms . davis , nothing of the old manny remains , nothing , nothing at all -- not the killer , not the sadist , not the criminally insane man who lives to inflict pain . according to ms . davis , that manny has disappeared , he 's vanished , he 's gone for good . and how are we supposed to know this ? how did the doctors know this ? because manny ruiz told them so . that 's it . that 's all . that 's all that we have to go on -- the word of an admitted liar who kills people for pleasure . we do n't have the objective tests to tell how well this surgery went , we have no numbers to compare , we have no blood test to analyze ! manny ruiz is acting like a different man . that 's all we have . yet you 're supposed to take his word over the word of a woman that he stalked and he terrorized , a woman that he planned to rape while her fiance sat tied in a chair with a bullet in him , a woman that he attacked in this very courthouse , not 200 feet from this spot , while this very trial was underway ! alexis : it 's true that sam was victimized , but not by the man sitting in this courtroom today . alexis : she was victimized by my client before the surgery , when he was driven by an undiagnosed defect in his brain . ms. mccall claims that she was attacked by my client in the holding room , but as you can see , there 's no evidence . there was no evidence to support that the prosecution failed dramatically at their burden of proof . you have seen witnesses repeatedly try to goad my client into attack . and he has demonstrated absolutely no malice toward anyone . you 've seen it . i think it 's fair to say that everyone in this courtroom is sympathetic . i think it 's fair to say that our hearts go out to ms . mccall for the pain that she suffered , and she did in fact suffer . and i think it 's only natural that ms . mccall would want revenge , she would want someone to pay . she wants my client to pay . she wants manny to pay . she wants him to die . but you ca n't do that because the court is not an instrument of revenge . it is about the rule of law . you have to follow the law . whether you like it or not , you have to follow the law . manny ruiz committed those crimes and he was not of sound mind . and according to the law , he is not responsible for his actions . you have to follow the law . you have to find my client not guilty . tracy : you tell me where your father is ! lulu : oh , let me check . is your name on this package ? nope . tracy : you tell me or i kick you out on the street . dillon : no , uh - uh . lulu : oh , sounds fun . i 'll bring it with me . come on . tracy : uh - uh ! dillon , you get that package or i stop paying for college tuition . lulu : dillon 's smart . he 'll get a scholarship . tracy : dillon , i 'm going to post your baby pictures on the p.c.u . bsite . dillon : you have baby pictures of me ? lulu : dillon , think ! no , she 's lying . tracy : you know what , i 'm going to send you both to military school . lulu : sounds fun . tracy : in iceland ! dillon : no , no , no , uh - uh ! lulu : hup , two , hup , two ! tracy : all right , all right , all right ! i 'll drop the attempted - murder charges if you just tell me where your father is . dillon : it 's a trick , that 's a trick . she 's lying . lulu : ok , you drop the charges first and then i 'll tell you where he is . lorenzo : would you care to join me ? skye : oh . well , that 's the best invitation i 've gotten all day . lorenzo : great . please , sit down . skye : thanks . lorenzo : so ? whoa . what has luke done now ? skye : i 'm not supposed to care , remember ? i mean , who cares if he sends his daughter a package and nothing for me ? he never sends me anything , he never does . lorenzo : right . so lulu got a package , you ran out of the quartermaine house straight to kelly 's . skye : guess this starting - over thing is n't really so easy , is it ? lorenzo : what if we just keep running , skye , together ? skye : i 'm listening . lorenzo : i say we fly down to manhattan tonight , take in a ballet , maybe a late supper . no place is more romantic than new york city after midnight . interested ? skye : you 've got yourself a date . carly : there is so much that you do n't know about the man that you claim to love . but you have to realize how much sonny depends on jason . emily : yeah , it 's true , carly , jason is kind of having a hard time with all this , but if sonny and i do have a relationship , i believe that jason will ultimately accept it . i mean , he -- he wants me to be happy . carly : that 's why he does n't want you with sonny . emily : carly , we 're never going to agree on this . carly : ok , so what happens to jason when sonny breaks your heart , and he will ? emily : i 'm a lot tougher than i look . carly : oh . ok , so you 're going to be the one woman that sonny does n't get angry with and you 're going to be the one woman that sonny 's able to protect . right ? you 're never going to have a day where you wake up wi fear and worry and pain . your special brand of love and acceptance is just going to make sonny a better man . is that it ? emily : i do n't want him to be a better man . carly : he wants to be a better man . he wants to do what 's right , and he 's probably already asked you to go away . so why do n't you ? emily : carly , you know , i really do n't want to make a big scene out of this . i 'm just -- i 'm going to go get the boys . carly : where are you ? jason : what 's wrong ? carly : we have to talk , now . ric : you want to get some coffee ? alexis : you know what , i do n't think the jury 's going to be out very long . justus : you 're awfully confident . alexis : the law is clear on this . the jury 's going to have to follow it . sam : you are good , because you made me look like a criminal and manny look like a victim . alexis : sam , i advised you to not be here . sam : no , come on , i have every right to be here , and it was a cheap shot to drag me into your closing arguments . alexis : i was doing my job , and the jury 's going to have to do theirs , and there 's a very good chance he 's going to be acquitted . i 'm sorry . sam : really ? well , if manny gets acquitted and he walks away , he will still be insane , he will probably go after you and all of us , for that matter . ric : ok , there 's no point in having this conversation . why do n't you do yourself a favor -- just go home and make sure jason does n't go after manny . sam : ja -- you talk to jason himself . i do n't speak for him , ok ? ric : durant is going to want to bust jason if anything happens to manny . sam : oh , come on . ric : it 's going to be a way for him to save face after a humiliating loss . sam : you do n't care about jason and i do not need your advice . alexis : ric is just trying to help . sam : no , ric is trying to minimize his guilt for helping you turn manny loose . bailiff : the jury has reached a verdict . lashes too intense for the shy ! skye : mac . what are you doing here ? tracy : i called him . which was a total waste of my hard - earned tax dollars . mac : how many times do i have to tell you ? i ca n't drop the charge of attempted murder . there was rat poison on the cocktail shaker . tracy : fine . ahem . i put the rat poison in the cocktail shaker . i did it to turn the tables on luke . mac : are you confessing to faking an attempted murder ? tracy : you going to arrest me , commissioner ? skye : please say yes . mac : you know , i do n't have time to deal with rich people playing games ! tracy : why do they call you a public servant , then ? mac : i will drothe charges on luke . but if you so much as ever pull a stunt like this again , i will arrest of myself . tracy : fine . skye : so what did i miss ? dillon : um , lulu 's going to tell my mom where luke is . tracy : but lulu 's not going to tell skye where luke is . skye : i 'm not interested , believe me . [ dillon istles ] tracy : ok , lulu . where 's your father ? lulu : the markham islands . tracy : the markham islands ? lulu : the markham islands . tracy : let me see that . lulu : no ! whoa ! dillon : hey , no , that was n't part of the deal . you ca n't -- lulu : what are you -- no , why are you opening it ? dillon : hey , i do n't -- mom ? lulu : oh , my -- dillon : mom ? tracy : oh ! elizabeth : my greatest wish is for cameron to just be happy . bobbie : and that 's exactly what i want for lucas . elizabeth : and ifameron were to find love with a woman or a man , i would have to be ok with it . bobbie : what about the night you get called to the police station because your son has been badly beaten ? or the times when you know he 's in terrible emotional pain and he 's not able to share anything with you ? what about all these gay - bashers that you know you 'll never be able to protect him from and the pain and the prejudice that he 's going to have to deal with for the rest of his life ? elizabeth : bobbie , is n't wanting to change him a kind of prejudice ? bobbie : i am not homophobic . i have friends who are gay . and i honestly believe some people are born homosexual . but some people experiment , they go through a phase , and then they settle down . elizabeth : and you 're hoping that by him going to therapy it 'll help him settle down ? bobbie : yes , i am hoping that he will just get through this whole phase . elizabeth : maybe that 's not what lucas wants for himself . lucas : hey , mom . bobbie : hey . how did it go ? lucas : uh , counseling was n't what i expected at all . lainey actually really helped me . bobbie : that 's great . that 's great . because i was really hoping she would . come on , let 's go have coffee . alexis : the fact that the jury is in this quickly , it 's a good sign . judge : court is now in session . in the matter of the state vs. manuel ruiz , has the jury reached a verdict ? forewoman : we have , your honor . judge : how do you find ? forewoman : we find the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter . [ gallery murmurs ] manny : i do n't understand . alexis : i think it means you 've won . [ judge pounds gavel ] judge : order in this courtroom . mr. ruiz , will you please face the court ? due to the seriousness of the crimes you committed before the surgery , you will continue with appropriate psychiatric treatment and evaluation . you will be placed on parole and you will complete your community service at general hospital . john : oh , your honor , with all due respect , that is absurd ! [ judge pounds gavel ] john : it 's ridiculous . judge : you will wear an ankle monitor at all times and your movements will be restricted to a five - mile radius of port charles police department . you understand ? manny : yes , your honor . judge : this court is adjourned . [ judge pounds gavel ] lulu : ew . that 's not real . dillon : that ca n't be real . tracy : of course it 's real . hopefully it 's luke . lulu : wish it was you . dillon : was that necessary ? tracy : that little monster made me give up my leverage for practically nothing . dillon : uh , if you wanted luke to stay , you should n't have faked your own death . tracy : i was only dead for less than 24 hours . as usual , luke is overreacting . skye : with a wife like you , who can blame luke for staying gone . tracy : well , that 's because you 're jealous because luke does n't -- [ doorbell rings ] tracy : care anything about you . lorenzo : alice . nice to see you . alice : same here , sir . very nice indeed .

[ scene_break ] tracy : it should n't be difficult to track a.j . down . ned : knowing junior , he 's either faking his way through an a.a. meeting or already at a bar . sonny : hi , tracy . tracy : thank you for coming . sonny : well , usually the only time i hear from you is when you call me `` hoodlum `` or , uh , you know , threaten me with , uh , legal action . tracy : [ laughs ] well , all that 's changed . sonny : since when ? tracy : since we have a common enemy . [ scene_break ] carly : i own this hotel , so if you have to be here , stay away from me , okay ? a.j . : i see that you recovered nicely from your dark night of the scissors . carly : goodbye . a.j . : hey , look , i just came by to offer you a friendly warning about michael , okay ? [ scene_break ] michael : i need your help . johnny : is that right ? michael : if i could get what i needed from anybody else , i would . believe me , you 're the last person that i want to ask . [ scene_break ] tracy : should we go into my office ? and if it 's any consolation , you are the last person i want to ask for assistance . sonny : oh , so this is a favor . tracy : no . it is quid pro quo . i think we can help each other . sonny : with what ? tracy : a.j . quartermaine . together , i think we can get rid of him once and for all . [ scene_break ] molly : connie is awful , and she deserves to be punished , but hating her wo n't fix anything . kristina : he would n't be gone if it was n't for her , molly . starr : right , and i know that you 're angry , but connie will pay for what she did . kristina : oh , when ? because she 's walking around free . molly : no , she 's just out on bail . connie 's charged with kidnapping johnny , assault on starr , and she could get vehicular manslaughter for what she did to trey . kristina : [ scoffs ] my father does n't even care . he 's the one who paid her bail . starr : that was only so that connie could go to the hospital to sign the papers so that trey would be taken off life support . kristina : she could have signed those forms in her cell . she did n't need to come to the hospital and cry by his bedside . she did n't need to pretend to care about the son she never loved . she 's the reason he 's dead , starr . starr : and she will get punished for that . kristina : no , connie needs to be charged with murder . connie killed her own son . [ scene_break ] connie : look , i told you to go away . t.j. : actually , i - i need to talk to you . connie : oh , yeah . that 's right . i knew there was something . go ahead . lay it on me . t.j. : i was just hoping , uh , after -- after everything that happened , you might reconsider and give molly her novel back . connie : oh , you think my kid dying would make me a little kinder , gentler ? t.j. : i just assumed that maybe you 'd feel bad -- connie : well , you know what you can do with those assumptions , t ? you can stick them where the sun do n't shine . you and sonny both . [ scene_break ] sonny : there was a time that i would love nothing more than to put a hurting on a.j . , but michael seems to think there 's some good in him , so he 's gon na have to figure out for himself that a.j . 's a user and a liar . if i go after a.j . , then i look like the bad guy and he looks like the victim . tracy : if a.j . takes my place at elq , he will convince michael that he walks on water . sonny : you know that you 're exaggerating a little bit ? tracy : no way . come on , sonny . you gon na help me ? sonny : what is it you need me to do ? [ scene_break ] johnny : michael , you have to know how sorry i am for what i did to starr . michael : you mean killing her boyfriend and little girl , lying to her about it , and then pretending to be her friend ? johnny : i know you think all those months that i was free , okay , but i was nowhere near it . michael : close enough . johnny : the guilt that i had , that i have over this whole thing consumed me . it turned me into a different person , a person that i did n't know , a person i did n't like . so i had to confess . i had to take responsibility and accept my punishment . no matter what that punishment would be , it would n't be enough . michael : yeah , you 're right . it would n't be . johnny : [ sighs ] i could spend the rest of my life behind bars , and it would not make up for what i did to starr and her family . and no punishment is worse than losing the woman i love . your mother . [ scene_break ] carly : if you have something to say about michael , say it . if not , i want you to leave me alone . a.j . : i 'm hurt . that 's how you talk to me after i rescue you ? carly : rescued me ? i was a blacked - out drunk , and you took advantage of the situation . a.j . : no , what i did was i took your keys , and i brought you to safety . carly : you sat there while i chopped all my hair off . a.j . : you know what ? you really have a little selective memory going on . you see , you came up to me at the floating rib , remember ? i was disappointed because tracy maneuvered me out of elq . carly : good for tracy . a.j . : okay , you know , um , i did n't know it at the time , but michael was worried about me , that i was gon na have a setback , that i was gon na -- carly : oh , he seems to know you a lot better than you think . a.j . : okay , well , the last thing i would want is for my son to worry about me , so i thought it was important that i tell him what really happened , how , you know , you tried to get me drunk , but , you know , i resisted . carly : you son of a bitch . a.j . : hey , i would n't have said anything at all , but , i mean , you know , i just think it 's important that michael knows i 'm stronger than that . carly : bull . you wanted me to look bad in front of michael . [ scene_break ] sabrina : you told patrick that dr. westbourne was mean to me ? elizabeth : well , someone had to clue patrick in about that witch . and i thought i 'd gotten through to him , but i guess he decided to go ice skating anyway . sabrina : you know , maybe you should n't be so hard on dr. westbourne . elizabeth : are you kidding me right now ? sabrina : no . look , at the very least , she was honest enough to tell me that my crush was making things uncomfortable for dr. drake , okay ? elizabeth : then why is patrick concerned that you 're avoiding him ? sabrina : what ? he said that ? elizabeth : he thinks that he 's done something to make things awkward between the two of you and that 's why you do n't want to babysit anymore . now , does that sound like a man who 's uncomfortable to be around you ? [ scene_break ] patrick : hey , just because you have the game , it does n't mean you do n't appreciate it , okay ? britt was nice enough to bring you that . britt : it 's okay . i can take it back . is there another game that you want ? emma : i do n't know . i have to go to the bathroom . britt : well , do you want me to take you ? patrick : come on . i 'll take you . emma : no , daddy . i can go by myself . patrick : really ? okay . be quick , all right ? i 'm gon na watch you from here . britt : whoa . that went well . patrick : i 'm sorry . britt : no , i , uh , i should have asked you what games emma has . patrick : i do n't think it 's about the game . i think she 's still upset that sabrina 's not babysitting her . britt : oh , well , i 'm sure she 'll get over it . patrick : she will . i just -- i do n't want you to take it personal , okay ? britt : no . kids are moody sometimes . and it 's not like she told you that she does n't like me specifically . did she ? patrick : she actually did say that . britt : so , emma does n't like me . patrick : no , i 'm sorry . i - i should n't have said anything . britt : no , i 'm glad you did . patrick : you are ? britt : it makes sense . emma barely knows me , and suddenly i 'm around all the time ? patrick : it 's all on me , and i think you guys just need to hang out a little bit more and get to know each other . britt : i mean , do n't worry . i 'm not one to back down from a challenge . [ chuckles ] patrick : no ? britt : no . 'cause if i was , we would not be sitting here together right now and we definitely would n't have gone on a second date and for sure would n't have had that amazing shower . patrick : that 's for sure . hmm . hey . i got you chocolate milk , and i got you macaroni and cheese , okay ? britt : ooh , yum . i wish i could eat stuff like that . then i would n't be able to fit in my clothes . emma : why ? patrick : do n't listen to her . she does n't have to worry about that . [ cell phone beeps ] patrick : that 's dr. nance . i called him about a consult . can you give me a second ? okay ? i 'll be back in a second . hey . britt : so , um , this looks fun . can you teach me how to play ? emma : no . [ scene_break ] molly : we 've talked about this . blaming connie wo n't bring trey back . starr : no , molly 's right . anger is only a way of hiding . trust me . i know . eventually you will have to move on with your life . kristina : [ scoffs ] i was supposed to have a life with trey . we were gon na go to california . we were gon na get an apartment with a backyard , maybe even a puppy . we were supposed to be so happy . starr : i know , kristina , but he would want you to keep going , right ? trey would want you to pick up the pieces . kristina : [ sighs ] how can i pick up the pieces when there are n't any pieces left ? [ scene_break ] connie : what are you still doing here ? get out ! t.j. : i do n't think you mean that . connie : do n't tell me what i mean . t.j. : look , i get how this works , all right ? the more a person tries to help you , the angrier you get . all it does it just fill up an empty space where the person you lost used to be . connie : thank you , dr. freud . but you might want to try that on a different audience , one that would appreciate your pearls of adolescent wisdom . t.j. : [ sighs ] connie : me ? i 'm still the same old bitch i ever was , which means `` love in maine `` is still my book . my son 's death does n't change that . does n't change anything , especially me . [ scene_break ] tracy : this is a delicate situation . it could ... put me in prison for a long time . sonny : if you want to save your company as much as i want to save my son , you 're gon na have to come clean . tracy : i , uh ... [ stammers ] you remember that i was married to anthony zacchara for a brief while . sonny : yeah , i almost shot him in front of you , remember ? tracy : yes , and i do n't know why i stopped you . but i digress . i married anthony because he was blackmailing me . sonny : with what ? tracy : a few years back , i resorted to ... unconventional means to keep elq afloat . i used soleito money . sonny : mob money ? you realize that soleitos are dirtier than i - i ever dream to be . tracy : i did n't know what the details were , and i do n't want to know what the details are . suffice to say , i used dirty money , uh , and i put it to good use . and nobody would have been any the wiser except that anthony ... found proof . sonny : and he got you to marry him . tracy : i need you to help me understand the mind of a mobster . sonny , is it possible that anthony destroyed that proof before he died ? sonny : not a chance . [ scene_break ] johnny : michael , i hate that i hurt your mother . if i could take it all back , i would , believe me . how 's she doing , by the way ? michael : she 's dealing with a lot . johnny : sure . you know , she always used to lean on jason , and now that he 's gone , it leaves you . michael : i want to help my mom , but i also want to help a.j . he 's trying to put his life back together . he wants to work for elq , but tracy wo n't let him . that 's where you come in . johnny : how the hell would i have any influence on corporate politics ? michael : you might have something that a.j . needs . [ scene_break ] a.j . : carly , look , our differences aside , i just thought you should know that michael 's really upset . i would n't be surprised if he finds you and , you know , gives you hell for trying to get me to drink . carly : you would love that , would n't you ? never mind that you were in a bar with a drink in your hand before i even showed up . you did n't tell michael that part , did you ? did you tell michael you were making out with sonny 's crazy girlfriend , that you were kissing all over connie , the mentally ill woman ? no . because you 're still a selfish pig . a.j . : you know , see , this is exactly why i came to you . i did n't want you going off on michael like this and pushing him further away . carly : you do n't give a damn . not only are you trying to manipulate my son , you 're now trying to manipulate me . a.j . : i 'm not gon na let you bring me down . i am building a relationship with my son , which frankly is something i never thought i 'd have a chance to do . it 's weird , but i 'm -- i 'm kind of getting everything i wanted . carly : except elq . tracy 's still c.e.o . a.j . : hmm . not for long . carly : you think that you can play tracy ? you truly are delusional . a.j . : i 'm not the one who 's hiding something . tracy is . and i do n't know why , but i have this little feeling that tracy is gon na wind up in hot water with the s.e.c . very soon . [ scene_break ] tracy : so , you think that the proof that i invested soleito money in elq is out there somewhere ? sonny : locked in a bank vault , encrypted into a computer where everybody can see it . tracy : which means a.j . can find it ? sonny : he did n't know about it . tracy : well , he does n't know the details , but he has been dropping less than subtle hints that i could run afoul of the s.e.c . sonny : does n't mean a damn thing if he do n't have any proof . [ cell phone rings ] tracy : excuse me . i have a text . oh , damn him . why could n't he stay dead ? sonny : let me guess . a.j . ? tracy : yeah . ned just overheard him say that he knows about the soleito money . what am i going to do , sonny ? [ scene_break ] molly : kristina , i know how much you loved trey , but you had a future before you met him . do n't let connie take that away from you . kristina : no . if connie had n't kidnapped johnny and stuffed him in the -- in her trunk , we would n't have been driving after her . that 's why trey 's dead ! starr : no , trey was in the wrong place at the wrong time , just like cole and hope were . kristina : [ voice breaking ] no , and -- and connie would n't let johnny confess ! she would n't let him tell the world that he was the one who killed your boyfriend and your little girl ! do n't you hate her for that ? starr : yes , but that 's the terrible thing about death . it does n't make sense , and none of the reasons really matter . kristina : no , connie is the reason ! she does n't even care about trey ! she 's too busy stealing molly 's novel to care ! molly : hey , forget about my book . it 's not important . kristina : oh , okay . so , what ? you 're just gon na let connie take credit for it ? just one more hateful thing that she gets away with ? molly : no , mom 's filing a lawsuit to try and stop publication . kristina : you 're kidding , right ? mom 's legal tactics are n't gon na work with connie . she 's gon na get away with stealing your book . she 's gon na get away with what she did to johnny . and she 's definitely gon na get away with what she did to trey . connie will never be punished for killing him -- unless i do it myself . [ scene_break ] t.j. : okay , fine . fine . deal with your son 's death how you want , even if it means not dealing with it . connie : oh , well , thank you for your permission . now get lost . t.j. : you know , but first , i have a question about the book . connie : my book . and do n't waste your breath . i 'm not giving it back . besides , the publishers want to change the name of the heroine to maddie . go figure . t.j. : you know , if you publish molly 's book under your name , people are gon na have questions that you wo n't be able to answer . connie : what people ? t.j. : the readers . the publishers . someone sometime is gon na ask a question about a line of dialogue or a description that you wo n't remember because you did n't write it . connie : okay , you know what ? enough ! i got enough crap to do around here , thanks to johnny taking todd down with him . why are you bothering me with this ? t.j. : because of molly . i care about her , all right ? i mean , damn , is n't there anybody -- is n't there anybody out there that you care about ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i have lost too many people in the last year . i 'm not gon na lose michael . so , if that means shutting down a.j . at elq , then i want to see it happen for good . tracy : sonny , that 's easier said than done . if a.j . gets his hands on the proof that i put soleito money into elq , i go to prison , which means a.j . gets carte blanche to ruin the company and your son . sonny : okay , we got to calm down , take it easy here , because a.j . does n't have the proof yet . tracy : as you so helpfully pointed out , it 's still out there . sonny : johnny . johnny must have it . tracy : then you get it and destroy it . sonny : and how do you suggest i might do that ? tracy : [ chuckles ] sonny , this is your field of expertise . break a kneecap . make him an offer he ca n't refuse . threaten a loved one . just get the proof . sonny : i ca n't . michael would never forgive me . [ scene_break ] michael : skye had proof that tracy put soleito money into elq and that she gave the records to anthony . johnny : yeah . skye came to me looking for those records when she was in town for your great - grandfather 's funeral . she thinks i somehow ended up with them . michael : did you ? [ scene_break ] carly : feel free to prove that tracy is a crook . i hope she does the same thing with you . you leave michael out of it or i 'm gon na go upstairs into todd 's room , and i 'm gon na grab those scissors out of his suite , and i 'm gon na cut your heart out , and i 'm not kidding . a.j . : okay , listen to me -- carly : you do n't do anything to derail michael 's life , okay ? that kid has been through enough . a.j . : all right . listen , calm down , okay ? i think there may be a way that we can unseat tracy without anybody getting their hands dirty . carly : okay , i 'll bite . how ? a.j . : we can vote her out . carly : what are you talking about ? you already tried that . lucy coe broke the deadlock when she sided with tracy . there are no votes left . a.j . : well , according to heather webber , there are . carly : [ laughs ] oh , my god . you 're actually taking advice from heather webber ? of course , you are . a.j . : listen to me , okay ? i ran into her at ferncliff , okay ? do n't ask . anyway , she seems to think that there 's something in my grandfather 's will that could affect the voting . carly : like what ? a.j . : i do n't know . that 's just it . i 've read that thing inside out , upside down , and it 's very clear . all the outstanding elq shares go to the living grandchildren and great - grandchildren . carly : okay , so what the hell is heather webber talking about ? a.j . : i do n't know . i mean , it 's not like there 's any other grandchildren or great - grandchildren that we do n't know about , right ? carly : no . all the quartermaine heirs are ... accounted for . a.j . : what ? [ scene_break ] michael : look , i do n't feel comfortable coming to you after what you did to starr . and this is n't a shot at redemption . does n't make a difference to my mom or starr if you tell me where the records are , but i will consider it a favor and i 'll owe you . johnny : you hate that , do n't you ? the thought of owing me . michael : yeah , pretty much . johnny : then why do it , michael ? why do you care about elq ? michael : a.j . cares . he waited his whole life for a chance to run elq . i want to give him that chance . do you have proof that tracy used dirty money to fund elq ? johnny : yeah . i do . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : dr. westbourne is wrong . patrick is not uncomfortable around you . sabrina : look , it does n't matter , okay ? the truth is , i have a crush on him , and no matter what i do , i ca n't make it go away , so it 's just -- it 's best for me to keep my distance . elizabeth : no . no . patrick is upset that you 've stopped babysitting . he said that you have been the most consistent female presence in emma 's life since robin died . sabrina : he said that ? elizabeth : yes , he did . now , listen to me . emma is going to miss that connection , and she 's gon na miss you . sabrina : [ voice breaking ] my god , i 'm gon na miss her , too , so much . elizabeth : then how can you let britt take your place ? sabrina : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] britt : so , what other toys do you like ? emma : different kinds . britt : do you like dolls ? emma : yes . britt : what kinds ? emma : different kinds . britt : could you just tell me what your problem is ? because i am really trying to be friends with you . emma : i do n't want to be friends with you . britt : why not ? what did i ever do to you ? emma : nothing . britt : so why do n't you want to be my friend ? emma : [ sighs ] because i do n't like you . britt : well , guess what , sister ? i do n't like you , either . [ scene_break ] sabrina : it kills me that out of all the people involved , she 's the one that 's getting hurt , okay ? but what am i supposed to do ? it 's not like i can keep hanging around dr. drake when i 'm clearly infatuated . elizabeth : why not ? i mean , just because you have feelings for him does n't mean you have to act on them . sabrina : no , it 's just -- it 's -- it 's better for me to make a clean break . elizabeth : well , it 's not better for emma . sabrina : emma needs someone to care about her , okay ? she needs someone who 's warm and compassionate , someone who understands that they 'll never take robin 's place in emma 's life but -- but they can make their own place , someone to give her the love and support that she needs , and ... i ca n't be that person . so all i can do is pray that dr. westbourne will learn to respect that amazing little girl . [ scene_break ] britt : did you hear me ? emma : yeah . you do n't like me . britt : no . i do n't . but i guess that makes us even because you do n't like me , either . emma : no , i do n't . britt : well , you 're gon na have to start getting used to me , honey , because i 'm not going anywhere . your daddy and i are gon na be together for a very long time . i do n't mean to be so harsh , okay ? it 's just that we 're stuck with each other , so we might as well try to get along . i mean , we both want the same thing , emma -- your dad to be happy . i want that . do n't you ? emma : i want sabrina . [ scene_break ] t.j. : come on , there 's got to be somebody out there that you care about . connie : you 're right . there is . me . now , what do i got to do to get you to get out of here ? t.j. : what do i have to do to get you to give molly her novel back ? connie : ask me in a few years . t.j. : excuse me ? connie : i do n't do jailbait . now , look , son , hit the road , okay ? i got a bunch of edits i got to do . but listen to me . you ca n't be ashamed of yourself . you gave it your best shot , all right ? molly would be very proud of you . okay ? t.j. : okay . all right . fine . connie : see you later . t.j. : i 'll go , all right ? but miss falconeri ? connie : what ? ! t.j. : i just want to tell you that i - i really am sorry about trey .

[ scene_break ] a.j . : you know something , do n't you ? you know about another heir to my grandfather 's estate . carly : [ laughs ] that 's ridiculous . a.j . : you know , honey , you 're not as good a liar as you think you are . carly : how would i know anything about some long - lost quartermaine heir ? and if i did , i would not tell you . a.j . : carly , i am doing this as much for michael as for me . carly : no , you 're not , okay ? we 're done here . i would n't spit on you if you were on fire , and i 'm sure as hell not gon na help you steal elq . a.j . : he wants to work there . do n't you get it ? i 'm trying to make him happy . i thought you 'd like that . ned : carly . hey . carly : ned . hey . eavesdropping , huh ? ned : i have to admit , i have been keeping an eye on my good - for - nothing cousin . carly : while you 're at it , why do n't you squash him like the worm he is ? ned : well , maybe you can help me with that . i happened to catch the look on your face when he mentioned another quartermaine heir . so , tell me ... what are you keeping from him ? [ scene_break ] sonny : the thing is , i - i gave a.j . a beatdown , almost cost my relationship with michael . if i do something like that again , i 'm gon na lose my son forever . i ca n't do that . tracy : sonny , i 'm not asking you to do the job in person . do n't you have employees for that sort of thing ? to -- to work johnny over ? sonny : it 's not that simple . tracy : okay , how 's this for simple ? [ sighs ] if a.j . gets ahold of that proof , he will have all the leverage he needs to take over my company with michael at his right hand . sonny : maybe michael needs to witness a.j . 's incompetence up close . how do you like that ? tracy : well , that 's very mature and philosophical of you , sonny , but there 's one problem . have you ever seen a.j . take the blame for anything ? sonny : never . why ? tracy : i may have had some questionable dealings with the soleitos . a.j . will wallow in corporate criminality , and when he does , he will have no problem making michael take the fall for it . [ scene_break ] starr : kristina , i know you think that you 'll never get through this . i could n't even think after i lost the two most important people in my life . but i ... i did . i got through it . and you will , too . kristina : i do n't even know where to start . starr : [ sighs ] why do n't you start by taking a shower and getting changed ? and then maybe if you 're up for it , we 'll go to pcu . kristina : pcu ?

[ both laugh ] curtis : that 's what 's up . that 's what i 'm talking about . and then , she at pcu , as well ? tj : yeah , but she 's a year younger . we actually started dating in high school when i first came to port charles , you know . she really helped me find a home here . curtis : yeah , you know , uh , about that -- i 'm really sorry i was n't there when your father ... passed . um , i think about it all the time . i mean , i just want you to know i 'm sorry , and i wish i could 've been there . tj : hey , it 's okay . i know what you were doing . [ scene_break ] alexis : so the reason we invited you girls here is because we want you to be involved in our wedding plans . kristina : oh . city hall or justice of the peace ? molly : oh ! maybe we could have the justice of the peace come here and have the ceremony at home . julian : [ clears throat ] alexis : actually , we decided that we 're going to get married in a church . molly : [ chuckles ] um , mom , have you even been to church ? alexis : [ scoffs ] of course , i have . kristina : other people 's weddings and funerals do n't count . alexis : oh . kristina : and from what i hear , you did n't even want me baptized . alexis : no , i did n't . but i 've had a change of heart . julian : yeah , your mother 's trying to make a statement about how we 're , uh , coming together as a family , right ? alexis : mm - hmm . and , uh , naturally , i want you two girls to be part of the ceremony , so i would be honored if you both and sam would be my maids of honor . julian : actually , you know , i would be honored , too . it would be wonderful to have you two involved . molly : mom , i know how happy julian makes you and i can see how much this means to you , so i would be happy to be in the wedding . alexis : oh , honey . oh , you make me so happy . julian : me , too . kristina : oh , you can count me in . [ sighs ] alexis : you know something ? this is the best gift that i could ever ask for . molly : [ chuckles ] alexis : so you know what ? it 's gon na happen a lot sooner than you think -- in a few weeks -- so are you gon na be able to get out of your classes ? [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] tracy : sorry . i have to take it . [ cell phone beeps ] tracy : hello ? hayden : tracy , it 's hayden . tracy : why are you whispering ? hayden : 'cause nikolas is in the next room . but i thought you 'd want to hear the good news . tracy : what is it ? hayden : nikolas proposed to me . and i accepted . tracy : [ sighs ] that is good news . hayden : i thought it 'd be worth interrupting your vacation . hopefully , you can make it back in time for the wedding . tracy : yeah , well , i doubt that i 'm gon na make the guest list , but good work . and remember , you do n't have to stay married to him very long . with any luck at all , our plan will come to fruition quickly . i will get elq , and you will get your freedom . buh - bye . [ sighs ] ashton : good news ? tracy : very good . ashton : i 'm very glad to hear it . now , where were we ? [ scene_break ] laura : are you sure that this marriage is n't about atoning for your sins ? i mean , are you sure this is n't your guilt talking ? nikolas : i did not propose to hayden in some quest for redemption . i asked her to marry me for the same reasons most people get married -- i have feelings for her . laura : are you in love with her ? nikolas : yes . laura : but , listen , there 's no law that says an engagement has to be short . i hope that you will take some time -- really think about what you 're doing , here . hayden : chandler 's bringing the champagne . so , what are you two talking about ? [ scene_break ] ashton : where were we before we were so rudely interrupted ? oh ! i know . you were about to succumb to the charms of the tropics and -- tracy : oh , my god ! i ca n't believe i was about to go down this path again ! the whole reason i came on this trip was to get away from con artists like you . and where do i end up ? ! back in your clutches again ! oh , my god ! well , i can tell you one thing -- i took this vacation to regain my equilibrium . and guess what ? i found it . you know what it is ? to get as far away from you as possible . [ scene_break ] nikolas : mother was just saying that she 's glad that you 'll both have a lot of time to get to know each other . hayden : [ chuckling ] yeah , the rest of our lives . i 'm looking forward to getting to know you better and showing you how much your son means to me . how fortuitous that you 're here to toast our upcoming marriage . laura : well , i ca n't stay , i 'm afraid . i have plans for dinner , but you two enjoy the champagne . hayden : i 'm so happy that you were the first person to share in our news . laura : well , i 'm glad about that too , actually , because it gave me the opportunity to impart some motherly advice . and i really hope you think about what we discussed . you two enjoy your evening . nikolas : [ clears throat ] so , shall we have that , uh , champagne ? where is it ? i wonder what 's keeping chandler from -- hayden : actually , i think we should start planning the wedding . let 's set a date . [ scene_break ] molly : it wo n't be a problem to get some time off from school . kristina : we 're talking about your wedding , mom . alexis : nothing would make me happier than being surrounded by my girls on one of the most important days of my life . molly : aw , you do n't have to worry , mom . i mean , where else would kristina be ? alexis : do you have any idea what 's going on ? julian : do n't look at me . molly : well , i 'm simply pointing out that , apparently , kristina can come and go as she pleases . she does n't seem to have a care in the world . i , on the other hand , need to study . so i 'm gon na go back to my dorm . kristina : where you wo n't be having sex , right ? molly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jason : carly keeps harping at me that i am the same person on the inside , and you know what , i do n't know , maybe she 's right . sam : i actually agree with her . jason : yeah ? sam : mm - hmm . although there 's a big difference between making peace with who you are and chasing after a life you do n't remember . jason : sounds like you 're trying to talk me out of it . sam : [ chuckles ] no , not at all . this is exactly why i ca n't be involved . because your old life is my old life , too . and there are things that we shared that i do want you to remember . but that 's about me , and this has to be about what you want , the things you 're trying to find . jason : i 've been avoiding my past , pushing it away . and that 's really not fair to anyone , especially you , so i think it 's time that i faced it . sam : i just want you to trust yourself -- i mean , whatever that is for you . [ scene_break ] tj : you were busy when my dad died , running that deep - cover operation for the baltimore pd , right ? curtis : yeah . that 's true . tj : and i heard you were instrumental in , uh , shutting down a major drug operation . curtis : yeah , well , i heard that , uh , your moms was involved in a similar operation , only you were n't so forgiving of her . tj : you know , i think my judgment was clouded , because my mom 's operation hurt people i love , like shawn . but i know now that my mom was just doing her job , just like you , uncle curtis , and i respect that . and i understand why you could n't be there for me when my dad died . you were helping other people . and in some ways , man , that 's -- that 's really what inspires me . curtis : props , man . that 's admirable . and i know my brother would be proud . and i know you 're gon na make a fine doctor . tj : thank you . i 'll be right back , guys . i got to go wash my hands , all right ? curtis : you raised a fine young man . it 's impressive . jordan : is that so ? curtis : you do n't agree ? jordan : of course , i do . so if you are planning on staying here , let me make one thing really clear -- you hurt my son , you answer to me . [ scene_break ] ashton : just relax and breathe in the tropic air . i know you 're going to find yourself in the mood once more . tracy : get away . i should 've known you 'd try to con me . and if your wiles did n't work , your certain something would . i have learned the path to enlightenment ! ashton : oh , i 'm all ears . tracy : staying away from you . get back on your terrace ! ashton : tracy . you do n't mean that . tracy : oh , i assure you , i do . being away has clarified my priorities . the only way for me to be happy is to get what 's mine . [ scene_break ] nikolas : w - wow -- set a date . you do n't waste any time , do you ? [ chuckles ] hayden : i know what i want . nikolas : [ chuckles ] are you sure you just do n't want to take a moment and savor the engagement and have that bottle of champagne , provided it ever gets here ? i mean , we have plenty of time to plan the wedding , you know . hayden : well , why put off making it official ? now that i 've accepted your proposal , i 'm ready and willing to take the next step . why do n't we get married right away ? [ scene_break ] jordan : your little act is clearly working , is n't it ? tj is buying it , hook , line , and sinker , and that 's your mission , right ? is n't it ? to convince people to swallow your lies ? curtis : i may have stretched the truth a time or two here and there in my day . jordan : you know what ? just save it . i 'm not really interested in your excuses and all your justifications , okay ? curtis : what about my brother 's son ? tj is my last link to tommy . jordan : please -- let him go on believing all of your lies . promise me that you 're not gon na tell him the truth . promise me that you are not gon na break my son 's heart . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , you gon na tell me what 's going on between you and your sister or not ? kristina : oh , it 's just sister drama . you know how it is . [ cell phone rings ] alexis : yeah . kristina : oh , it 's a friend from school . i 'm gon na take this on the porch . alexis : ah , take your coat . honey , take your coat ! julian : [ scoffs ] can you please explain sister drama to me ? alexis : it fluctuates like the tides . most of the time , they 're in perfect harmony , and they 're little angels and then , out of nowhere , they 're harpies from hell that ca n't stop sniping at each other . this was a mild disagreement , as far as they go , so i consider it a win . julian : i see . i see . well , do you know , uh , today was a win in another way , as well . alexis : how 's that ? julian : well , we started planning our wedding , and that went off without a hitch . alexis : oh , do n't ! oh , you 're gon na jinx it . julian : you 're not religious , but somehow , you believe in jinxes ? alexis : yeah . do n't you ? julian : not when we 're together . but , you know , um , i think we should , uh , head upstairs and give that bed of ours a blessing . alexis : [ chuckles , smacks arm ] amen . julian : mm . after you . alexis : [ giggles ] julian : mm . i got it . [ scene_break ] kristina : yes , i already told my parents i 'm suspended , so stop bothering them , okay ? look , here 's the deal , parker -- you do n't say anything to my parents , and i wo n't say anything to your wife . [ scene_break ] jason : i guess i have a whole new perspective . i mean , before [ sighs ] having any sort of flicker of a memory just made things worse , because it was like seeing somebody else 's life . but now , being here with you , it , um ... i 'm recovering not just the memory , but the feeling of it and the emotion of the moment . and it feels like , finally , the puzzle 's coming together , and i do n't want to stop until it 's finished . sam : you really want to move forward , and you 're willing to try hypnosis ? jason : yeah . i do n't care what it takes . i want to recover my memories . i - i want to get my self back . [ next_on ] nathan ( to maxie ) : i know you lied to me about johnny . dante ( to olivia ) : lulu and i are getting a divorce . lulu ( to johnny ) : you want me to help you break out of here ? lucas ( to julian ) : what 's wrong ? is somebody after you ? sonny ( to julian ) : once you get in , there 's no getting out . | alexis and julian are planning their wedding , ready to declare their love and their commitment to everyone and she wants her 3 daughters to be her maids of honor . yet kristina is very concerned about having her secret found out and does not trust molly nor sam to keep it from their mom . we see her on her phone when parker calls and threatens to expose her and she tells him if he refrains from telling her parents their secret , she will refrain from telling his wife . sam is with jason at the metro court , in the rain , on the rooftop where they fell in love a while back and he is able to remember the feeling he had although he has no conscious recollection of the event the way she does . she then concludes that as much as she 'd like to be there for him and have him regain his memory , due to the fact that he has not yet , as well as the fact that she is a part of this and can not be objective , that she has to let him make decisions and process what he needs without her . yet we see the mutual interest and trust they have in each other . at first , hayden is very stand- offish and hesitates when nikolas proposes to her . however , she realizes that if she helps him keep his elq holdings , tracy can have her way and in the end and wo n't expose her secret . tracy is vacationing and happy to be away from all the men in her life whom she can not trust when she runs into larry ashton . at first she is charmed by him , but later realizes he is not worth having any interest in . jordan makes it clear she does not trust curtis nor want him around her son yet tj wants to welcome his uncle and make him a part of his life . |

[ scene_break ] [ door closes ] julian : sorry . i did n't see sam 's car earlier . probably was for the best . how 'd it go after i left ? alexis : i told her the truth . julian : [ sighs ] how much of the truth ? alexis : you do n't get to ask the questions . i do . when i told you that i may have killed tom baker , you said that you would take care of the situation . how ? what did you do ? did you do something to franco ? if you did something to franco , you need to tell me . no lies , no evasion . what happened to franco ?

[ panting ] [ scene_break ] [ pool balls clacking ] sam : i still do n't understand exactly what happened the night tom baker was murdered . i need more information . elizabeth : well , what did your mother tell you ? sam : i think we should probably just focus on franco right now , not my mother . we should find him , and then we can figure out what he may or may not be guilty of . elizabeth : it sounds like you 're hoping franco killed tom . sam : no , it is just the most likely scenario . come on , elizabeth . franco had access to tom . he 's capable of murder , and he had the strongest motive of all -- protecting you . [ scene_break ] kiki : okay , so , basically , nobody has seen or heard from franco in the past 24 hours . his car is still parked at gene 's branford roadhouse , and elizabeth found this in the alley behind the bar . dillon : whoa . is that blood ? kiki : uh , we think so . dillon : i can see why you 're worried . kiki : do you think you can help ? elizabeth found it in a puddle , so it 's saturated , and i 've been calling all these different service providers to see if they can give me any idea how to dry it out or get data off of it , but they 've all been very negative and just trying to sell me a new phone . dillon : do you have any idea how long it was in the water ? kiki : no . look , dillon , i know it 's in really bad shape , but this is our only lead as to what happened to franco . dillon : okay . i think i have an idea . kiki : okay , um , but if it 's submerging it in a bowl of white rice , the internet says that you need at least 24 hours to do that , and i do n't have that kind of time . dillon : no , no , no , it 's nothing to do with rice or anything like that . i have a special dehumidifier for high - tech equipment . yeah , i 've had it ever since i dropped my expensive camera in the l.a. river , and a friend of mine was able to help me use the dehumidifier to dry out the camera safely . kiki : do you think it would work on this ? dillon : i mean , it 's not really meant for phones , but it 's worth a shot , right ? kiki : oh , my god , that would be amazing . thank you ... so much . i knew that you would know what to do . i knew it . dillon : i 'm not making any promises . i 'm just saying it 's worth a shot . kiki : yeah . dillon : let 's go . kiki : okay . [ scene_break ] julian : alexis , you need to relax , because i do n't know where franco is or why you 're even asking me . alexis : oh , you know why i 'm asking you . because when i told you that i may have killed tom baker , you said that you would do anything to help me . julian : and i will . alexis : so , franco has a picture of me and baker at the bar , right ? so if he 's got that , chances are he 's got other things , 'cause he 's very suspicious of my guilt . julian : franco has no real proof , and besides , who 's gon na believe a lowlife like franco ? alexis : well , if the police find him and question him , he is gon na point the finger at me . julian : yeah , well , franco would say anything to save his own skin . alexis : but this time , he might be right , because i remember that i had the knife in my hand . i just do n't remember what happened next . julian : okay , alexis , you just -- alexis : so , if he were to disappear , that would make sense in your mind , right ? if he were dead or he just vanished into thin air , the police would probably consider the baker case closed . julian : okay , i understand your reasoning . alexis : well , i still have the ability to think . so , do n't dodge the question . answer me . where 's ... franco ? julian : i 'll tell you again -- i do n't know . alexis : and how can i believe that you 're telling me the truth ? julian : you ca n't . [ scene_break ] franco : come on . stand up . keep moving . yeah , keep moving . keep moving . keep the lights on . stay warm . yeah . only a matter of time before some good samaritan finds that note and this is all just a distant memory . not sure why the psycho who locked me in here could n't have left a little bit of food , right ? like a ... cheeseburger . or , like , some curly fries . [ sighing ] oh . okay , stop . all right . [ groans ] he 's gon na come back . finish the job . okay . got to be something in here , right ? something i can use ... to escape . maybe something to eat , right ? or ... maybe tupperware , 'cause -- cool ! who saves tupperware ? oh , god ! i 'd save a crowbar . that 's just me . or , like , you know , freeze - dried astronaut food . that 'd be cool . let 's see what we got in here . box number 3 , right ? trophies . of course . so the psycho who locked me in here is really good at basketball . really good at pee - wee basketball . who does that ? who lives in the past like that ? people call me crazy . maybe there 's a name . some of these are inscribed . got to be a name . pee - wee basketball ... trophy . think it 's a tool . it 's a tool . it 's as close as i 've got to a tool . just ... ... pry the ... aah ! stupid ! okay , this is what we know . this is what we know . we know ... psycho locked me in here . there 's a whole bunch of cheap plastic toys from cheap ... plastic basketball tournaments .

[ scene_break ] julian : you know , of all the terrible things that have happened over the last few months , one of the most painful truths is that i 'll never be able to convince you i 'm telling you the truth about anything anymore . alexis : because i know who you are now . julian : yeah . the trust , the union that we shared , that 's all gone -- at least for now . alexis : gone . obliterated . pulverized . vanished as if it did n't even exist , which it did n't . and trust ? that was just an illusion . i was duped by you the whole time . but that 's over . so you need to remember that the reason that you 're here is because you 're blackmailing me , and no matter how bad things get for me , i 'll never be taken in by you again . julian : well . look , alexis , you 're right to suspect that i did something to franco . you are . i mean , well , i know there 's no other way for me to convince you otherwise . alexis : so you 're admitting that you were behind franco and his disappearance ? julian : no . with that matter , my conscience is clear , and you 'll see that soon . you 'll know that i 've been telling you the truth about this , and you 'll also know that i 've always ... put your welfare first , alexis , despite how it may have seemed . alexis : how can you even say that to me with a straight face ? julian : well , there 's no way for me to prove it to you . things are just what they are . well , look , i have to , uh , go take care of something . and no , it 's not franco . it 's something else . alexis : and that 's all you 're gon na say about this ? julian : [ exhales sharply ] i know this is , uh , painful for you , so please , do n't go looking for a drink . alexis : i 'm not gon na drink ! julian : good . alexis : it took me long enough to get this far . julian : well , i 'm glad about that . listen -- and i know you 're also probably , uh ... thinking about calling kiki or elizabeth webber to find out the latest on franco , but i want to remind you that your interest might require some explanation . we 're gon na fix this . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] sam : if you have any leads , any idea where franco may be , you have to tell me . elizabeth : no , um , i do n't -- i 'm not really comfortable sharing that information , considering you want franco to be guilty . sam : i 'm just being up front with you . elizabeth : are you ? really ? sam : yes . yeah , i 'm not the only one who 's suspicious . come on , elizabeth . there 's a warrant out for his arrest . for all i know , you may be throwing accusations about my mother out there to cover for franco . how far will you go to keep him free ? elizabeth : well , we both know you have your own agenda here , 'cause you would not lift a finger to help me if you were n't looking out for your mother 's best interests .

[ scene_break ] jason : it was the coffee , right ? julian : yeah , it was the coffee . jason : what did you give me ? julian : same thing i took myself to extend my stay in the hospital so i would n't be indicted . jason : why go to all the trouble ? julian : to get you to listen to me . jason : i tell you , julian , now 's your chance . julian : you were right . rudge is one of the people responsible for morgan 's death . i was the intended target . unfortunately , morgan was ... collateral damage . these same people that wanted sonny arrested ultimately wanted to put him in prison for my murder . jason : so you 're the victim ? that 's convenient for you . julian : yeah , well , it also happens to be the truth . these people not only want me and sonny gone . unfortunately , we 're no longer the only people in jeopardy . jason , you and -- you and curtis , you 've been asking a lot of questions , and a lot of people could die . jason : w - would you just cut it out ? tell me who rudge is working with , what sort of resources he has , and let me handle this . julian : man , you are missing the point . jason : i would love for you to get to that point . julian : you want the point ? here it is . you keep going the way you 're going , and sam and your unborn child could very well be at risk . [ scene_break ] sam : i want to know the truth about what happened to tom baker , whatever that truth may be . elizabeth : you guys , it 's okay . so , what happened with franco 's phone ? dillon : i have a dehumidifier for electronics , and i think we managed to dry it out . kiki : it 's right here . here .

[ scene_break ] diane : everything look good to you ? alexis : uh , yeah -- yes , the changes that you made are very astute . diane : well , it 's not hard to present you in the best possible light , alexis . you 're a fantastic lawyer . port charles needs your expertise . alexis : i do n't think i 'm ever going to practice law again . diane : why on earth would you say that ? alexis : because things have gone too far . too much has happened , and i do n't think there 's any way to make it right , no matter how many people are in my corner . diane : nonsense . stop it . you just have a bad case of stage fright , that 's all . you know you have to go in to the bar committee and sell yourself . fine . here 's an idea . do n't think of them as a committee . think of them as a jury . and you 're defending your client . the client in this case just happens to be you . alexis : your client is a slow - moving train wreck . diane : yes , you 've made mistakes . who has n't ? and after what julian did to you ? honey , you 've got to stop beating yourself up . alexis : thank you . thank you for always being on my side . diane : you 're welcome .

[ scene_break ] alexis : ric found a baggie of pot -- or i should say his policeman found that when they had a nice old search warrant to prove that i 'm an unfit mother . sam : yes , but there 's also proof that you have cancer . alexis : that would matter if we were in the state of california or the other 10 states where medicinal marijuana is legal , but unfortunately , that 's not the case in new york , so i 'm just going to have to take the high road -- hope for a sympathetic judge that feels that it 's in molly 's best interests to stay with me .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i was using the pot to help me deal with the chemo , and ric caught me and he 's using it against me to say that i 'm an unfit mother , so i can use any help that anybody wants to give me . carly : even from me ? alexis : i would really appreciate it if you could just say that the children were very well adjusted when they came to stay with you both for that short time when i was in the hospital and , look , you do n't even have to say that i 'm a good mother . if you just say that i 'm not a bad mother , it would help . it -- it would also be a -- a -- a very gracious gesture to the children . anything that you would say would really contribute to helping me . carly : you want me to testify under oath that you 're a good mother ? i can do that . alexis : you can ? i really appreciate that . carly : it would n't even be perjury . you and i are never going to be friends , but i know you love your children . you 'd throw yourself under a train for them . i have no problem at all testifying that kristina and molly will be much better off with you . alexis : that 's really very nice of you , carly . it is . and i -- i want you to both feel free to burst out laughing when i walk out of the room . i 'll have no problem with that , a , because i am standing here begging you for help , and , b , because i was smoking pot . carly : there 's nothing funny about cancer . and okay , you know , the way you got a little creative on how you dealt with your chemo may make me smile . but whatever you have to do , alexis , do it . alexis : i appreciate that . thank you . i 'll see you in court . sonny : you can be truly magnificent .

lulu : how could you do this ? you know better than anyone how much lucky loves elizabeth . not that she deserves it , that two - timing slut . but he does . and lucky 's love for elizabeth is a fact of his life . maybe the defining one . you know how happy he was to be getting remarried to elizabeth ! you were there ! you saw -- nikolas : i know -- look , i ca n't offer any answer that wo n't sound like justification . it was wrong , and i 'm sorry for all the pain that i caused . lulu : well , you know what , sorry just is n't good enough . [ scene_break ] carly : ok , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you know me , i 'm an insensitive idiot . i should n't have dropped the bomb like that here in the living room . i should have prepared you a little better . i just thought that you 'd want to hear about elizabeth 's treachery from me . jason : i already knew . carly : you knew ? you knew about elizabeth and nikolas ? how ? when ? jason : does n't matter . carly : it does too matter ! this torrid affair speaks volumes to elizabeth 's character . and i realize i 'm no saint , but i 'm not cheating on a man who has opened his home and his heart to me with his brother . and she conned you into giving up your only son for his own good . she swore that jake would be her priority always , and that she and lucky would make sure he had a safe and stable home . where 's her priorities now , jason ? i can tell you where they are . they 're in her pants . as jake 's father , you need to step in and take him out of that woman 's house . [ scene_break ] olivia : if continuing with this case is going to destroy something fundamental in your soul , then it 's just not worth it . dominic : i ca n't drop this case right now . my bosses would knock me down to a traffic cop . olivia : so be a traffic cop ! be the best traffic cop new york 's ever seen , but one that can look himself in the mirror . honey , i got no problem with that . dominic : the point is moot , anyway . even if i wanted to ditch this case , i ca n't . the warrant for sonny 's arrest is already in the works . [ scene_break ] sonny : dominic pirelli is an undercover cop ? michael : yes . sonny : yeah ? how do you know this ? michael : because i overhead dominic and johnny talking about it . are you getting the visual here , dad ? johnny zacchara , the son of your worst enemy , is conspiring with dominic , a cop , to take you down from the inside out . [ scene_break ] patrick : i know it 's shocking , you entrust me with three patients while you 're off gallivanting in london , and they 're all alive and kicking , thank god . robin : hmm . you prescribed mr. nelson a new medication . patrick : he was complaining of pain . robin : he always does . he does n't have any . he likes the attention . patrick : which is why i prescribed him placebo . one for me . robin : [ chuckles ] ok . mrs. rubin . patrick : ah , mrs. rubin . sweet , sweet old gal . robin : she does n't trust you . patrick : a cranky , whiney broad . robin : said you were too cute to know what you were doing . patrick : okay , one for you . fine . we 're even . and mr. tanaki , i probably should n't have discussed his surgical options while we were still on drug protocol . it 's just -- robin : oh , no . thank you for that . it calmed him down long enough to give the protocol time to work . patrick : wow , two to one . husband wins . robin : okay , if this is your idea of not being competitive -- patrick : too late . robin : it needs work . patrick : did i tell you how much i missed you ? robin : i missed you , too . patrick : mmm . robin : do you maybe want to show me how much you miss me in the on - call room ? patrick : do i want to ? absolutely ? got it . lisa : give radiology a heads up . we might need full body scans . patrick : hmm . robin : mike , it 's robin . we got you now . you 're going to be okay . patrick : you need help ? lisa : oh , no , thanks . patrick : okay . lisa : actually , i would n't mind a quick consult . patrick : okay , you got it , let 's move . ethan : oh , yeah , i 'll just wait right here . robin : what happened ? ethan : i do n't know . i just found him in an alley all busted up like that . so i called 9 - 1 - 1 . robin : and you know mike , do n't you ? ethan : yeah . well , i know he 's sonny 's father . so i hope you doctors know what you 're doing . [ scene_break ] lulu : i could n't figure it out . after all this time , why would lucky start drinking again ? i mean , i thought , yeah , it 's a blow to find out that your brother 's in love with your fiancée , but that 's not a knock - out punch . you could get through that without trashing your sobriety , as long as the two of you did n't act on it , but you did , over and over ! nikolas : lulu , neither one of us wanted this , okay ? it was monumentally self destructive , but it was n't intentional ! i do n't know what else to say . lulu : so then when you were being swept of your willpower , did you ever think about lucky and how you might be hurting him ? nikolas : of course , we did , we talked about it all the time ! lulu : so you just rationalized it away because nothing was more important than your overwhelming need for each other ! nikolas : no , look , i know it sounds like a lie right now , but i love my brother more than anyone else in this world . lulu : you know , that 's the saddest part about this , nikolas . it does n't sound like a lie . i know you love your brother , and that 's what makes what you did so nauseating ! why did n't you reject elizabeth ? why did n't you just slam the door in her simpering face and send her back to lucky ? nikolas : stop blaming her . this was all my doing . it 's my fault . lulu : do n't you dare stand there and defend that tramp to me . [ scene_break ] jason : the reasons i had for giving up jake still stand . and if i 've learned anything in the last ten years , it 's that sonny and i can not protect the people that we love . carly : okay , what if lucky and elizabeth were killed in a car accident or a plane crash -- jason : come on , carly ! that 's a whole other situation . carly : no , it 's not . not when you think about it . that stable family you thought you were giving jake is imploding . elizabeth is sleeping with her brother - in - law and lucky is drinking again . that is a hop , skip and a jump to full on drug abuse ! jason : okay , now you 're making a lot of assumptions because we really do n't know anything right now . we do n't know if elizabeth and lucky are breaking up . it 's possible that they can find a way to work things out . carly : lucky was adamant , they are over . jason : yeah , he just found out elizabeth was sleeping with his brother ! he 's pissed ! carly : an angry , drunk pill addict and a lying nymphomaniac ? what part of that is better for jake than you are ? [ jason sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : so the arrest warrant for sonny is ready to go ? dominic : it 's close . olivia : how close ? dominic : well , i suspect they 'll take him into custody any day now . olivia : and the evidence is solid ? dominic : there 's a lot of it . from eyewitness accounts to self - incriminating statements , recorded . whole thing would have gone down by now , but the feds stepped in . olivia : the feds ? we 're talking rico now ? dominic : yeah . sonny 's going away for a long time , ma . olivia : so any chance the feds are going to come after john ? dominic : no . johnny seems safe this go - around . they 're after the big fish . but as you can see , this is why i ca n't step down . it 's out of my hands . olivia : you did good . you came here to get a job done , and you did it . i 'm proud of you . dominic : hmm . thanks a lot , ma . i just wish i was more proud of myself . [ door closes ] olivia : yeah , lieutenant gorski , it 's olivia falconeri . i need to speak with whoever 's in charge of the corinthos case , right away . [ scene_break ] sonny : this meeting you overheard , tell me everything . michael : okay , i was walking by the elm street pier . sonny : mm - hmm . michael : i heard dominic 's voice . and i could n't really make out what he was saying at first . as i got closer , i heard johnny say that dominic is an undercover cop . i could n't believe what i was hearing , so i just stopped listening . sonny : what exactly did dominic say ? michael : stuff about how weird it was that you picked an undercover as your successor , how he had all this evidence against you , and that you 're going to prison . sonny : how did johnny respond ? michael : i mean , johnny is n't really the issue . i have no love for the guy , but at least he does n't pretend . the guy will put the knife in your chest , not your back . dominic is a flat - out traitor . sonny : what did johnny say ? michael : how he agreed that you going down was a beautiful thing . but look , dominic was driving it , okay ? i know you really like him . and it must suck to know that someone you 've trusted has been lying to you , your family , your business associates . but you got ta deal with that later , dad . you got ta take action right now . sonny : okay , michael , i get that you 're jealous , without meaning to . and i may have showed what you perceived as favoritism towards dominic and lack of confidence in you . but we could work that out , us three , as men . but you have to understand the seriousness of these allegations . you ca n't make them because you 're pissed off or you 're feeling overlooked . michael : wait a minute , are -- are you saying that you do n't believe me ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , i get that you 're furious . i get that you 're disappointed . all i 'm saying is that i was the initiator . i was the aggressor . i deserve your contempt , not elizabeth . that 's all i 'm saying . lulu : so where did you guys sleep together the first time ? nikolas : what ? really ? wyndemere , the turret room . lulu : did you lure her there under false pretenses ? nikolas : no . lulu : did you drag her by her hair ? no . of course not . elizabeth trotted herself practically up to the roof to sleep with you , just like she ran up 15 flights of stairs in the dark to seduce jason . so do n't stand there and try and make her out to be some innocent victim . this whole paragon of virtue act is not going to fly with anyone anymore ! nikolas : why are you so angry at her ? lulu : i 'm plenty mad at you ! but you own your own crap . you 're dark and selfish and moody , but people can take you or leave you . she presents herself as this shining example of how to live by a work ethic and a moral code , like she 's a dedicated mother and dedicated nurse and dedicated to lucky . but the only thing she was really dedicated to was sneaking around and playing mattress tag with you . nikolas : you know what , lulu , you have no idea what you 're talking about . you do n't know how much elizabeth and i struggled with this . all right , we did n't just tumble in bed together and not think about the consequences from that . that 's not what we did ! lulu : right , i got that . you could n't help yourselves . who the hell are you , anyway ? [ nikolas sighs ] [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] dominic : thought you might like an update . jax : of course , come in . dominic : well , we 're close . the evidence against sonny is being reviewed by the feds , and if they 're satisfied , the word should be coming down . jax : well , that 's good news . you know , it may not have always seemed so , but i 'm grateful to you , dominic . if the need arises , you may want to parlay that into something in the future . dominic : good to know i have a card to play . you may be needing one of your own , though . jax : why is that ? dominic : well , carly is not going to be exactly ecstatic about your involvement in sonny 's arrest . in fact , i 'm thinking divorce if not second degree murder . jax : hmm . dominic : why would you risk your relationship with the woman you love ? jax : because i have to protect my family . sonny 's a constant threat , and it has to be stopped . as far as carly 's reaction , i intend to come clean with her as soon as sonny 's arrested . dominic : then there 's michael and morgan . jax : right . they 're going to be furious . but their lives will be better off without sonny 's influence . so will carly 's . and so will my daughter 's . carly : still , you 're only fighting half a war . if you want to remove the criminal element from around your family , why all this energy on sonny and none on jason ? [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't want to hear you call elizabeth names . carly : seriously ? you 're seriously defending elizabeth ? jason : yeah , if i have to , yes . carly : what could you possibly say that absolves elizabeth of such hideous betrayal ? i mean , of all the men that she could have hooked up with , she hooks up with lucky 's brother ? why does n't she just stab a knife in his heart ? it would be a hell of a lot cleaner . jason : why do n't you stop being so judgmental ? carly : maybe i will if you stop being so blind . because elizabeth has definitely been called out for the hypocritical snake that she is . [ door opens ] carly : look , you gave up your parental rights because you wanted jake to have stability . well , guess what , that 's not going to happen in spencer - land anymore . and to go take your son , jason -- jason : carly , stop , okay ? i know you think you 're helping me and you 're helping jake , but you 're not . i 'm not jake 's father in any way , and i 'm never going to be . [ scene_break ] sonny : dominic 's been around for a while . first with the zaccharas , lately with me . he 's participated in illegal activities . if he were an undercover cop , he would have busted me , not joined in . as far as johnny , i have issues with him . that does n't matter . he would never work with the cops . michael : but he 's doing it , dad . i heard them . but johnny 's not even the point . dominic is . he 's the traitor . you got ta take him out right now -- sonny : well , why is n't johnny the point ? he works for me , too . but see , you 're making it about dominic . he saved my life , morgan 's life , and i 'm not going to kill him because you say so ! michael : okay , then you 'd rather risk prison than to take my word over your precious dominic 's . sonny : no . that 's not true . michael : thanks for reminding me of how little you think about me . sonny : okay , you know what , now you 're turning it around , michael . michael ! [ telephone rings ] sonny : oh , man . hello . robin : oh , good , you 're there . we 've been trying to reach you . mike 's at gh . he 's in serious condition . you need to come right away . sonny : okay , i 'll be right there .

[ jason sighs ] sam : it 's really finally hit the fan . jason : well , we knew this was coming . sam : but poor lucky . jason , he 's got to be devastated , being betrayed by the woman he loves and his brother . what if carly 's right ? what if lucky has finally had enough and he walks away from elizabeth and the boys permanently ? [ scene_break ] sonny : how 's mike ? robin : he 's stable but unconscious . sonny : what happened ? robin : ethan found him in an alley . ethan : yeah , he was worked over pretty good . sonny : anybody lurking around ? ethan : no . sonny : it 's not hard to figure out . my father has a gambling problem and he 's always having trouble with loan sharks . i appreciate you helping out . robin : doctors drake and niles were just discussing who was going to do mike 's surgery . sonny : okay , i want the best . that 's you , right ? lisa : i would have to agree . patrick : normally i would agree also , but mike 's injuries are n't brain- related . with dr. niles ' orthopedic experience , she 's the best way to go for this , sonny .

'cause she found out he was having an affair with you . lulu : you talked so much trash about rebecca . you were all morally outraged over her lies . turns out you 're not only a family - wrecking tramp , you 're also a raging hypocrite . and i thought i knew you . i thought you were someone to be admired . i actually believed you when you said that you loved lucky and you could n't wait to get remarried and build your sweet little house in the woods and live happily ever after . i totally bought into that four musketeers crap . but it turns out you and nikolas were really just laughing in lucky 's face . elizabeth : it was n't like -- lulu : no , shut up ! you have no defense . lucky and nikolas were more than brothers . they were each other 's best friend . and now all that 's changed because some cheap little tart had to be the center of everyone 's attention . have you broken enough , elizabeth ? huh ? bond between two brothers , lucky 's sobriety . now your kids are losing the only father they 've ever known . have you done enough damage so you can slink into some dark hole somewhere and , i do n't know , never show your sorry face again ? no , no , i 'm sorry . i suppose not . it 's too much to hope for . why would you go and do the decent thing ? well , hey , i still have one brother who has n't been poisoned by you . better watch out . she might start crying on your shoulder and make it three for three . ethan : all right , lulu . lulu , that 's enough . lulu : i guess your martyr act is still working .

[ scene_break ] jason : [ sighs ] carly says that elizabeth 's affair with nikolas negates the deal that we made because i gave jake up to have a safe and stable life , and now elizabeth 's wrecked all that , so all bets are off . look , i can -- i can see carly 's point . but i do n't see how me dropping out of the sky to claim jake is going to help any . he does n't even know me , sam . and what i do , my life has not changed . i do n't want jake to go through what michael 's going through right now . sam : there 's a big difference . sonny raised michael . you would be a different kind of father . sorry , sorry , okay , i 'm sorry . i know i probably sound just like carly right there . jason : this is about my life . and you 're in it . so i kind of need to know what you think . sam : all right , look , i would be glad for you to get to know your son . but that final decision has to be yours . [ scene_break ] michael : an undercover cop in the ranks is exactly the kind of information that jason needs to know about . it 's his job to handle stuff like this . kristina : and how would he handle it ? michael : he 'd kill dominic . kristina : exactly . that 's not a good solution , michael . first of all , the cops would never stop coming if what you say is true and dominic -- michael : it 's true ! kristina : then they 'd make an admission to bring dominic 's killer to justice . second , killing a cop is murder one . jason would get the death penalty . dominic would be dead . all because of what you set in motion . are you really ready to carry something that heavy for the rest of your life ? michael : [ sighs ] i can not let dominic take our father down . kristina : maybe you should take it to jax . you know , he 's powerful . he can pull strings and make things happen or get them stopped . tell him everything . michael : jax hates dad . kristina : but he would n't let him go to prison . it would hurt you and your mom and morgan way too much . take it to jax , he 'll help . [ scene_break ] jax : i 've had to learn to accommodate sonny . but not by choice . because of the women that we 've been involved with . carly and brenda . we seem to have the same taste . he brought chaos into their lives . and by extension , mine . for those reasons , i hate him . and more . it 's not the same with jason . dominic : i do n't see the difference . same target for violence . jax : all right , listen to me . sonny took advantage of a brain injury and brought a kid who did n't know any better into his organization . he handed him a gun and sent him out with orders to kill . the single most immoral act i 've ever witnessed in my life . okay , for that alone , jason gets consideration . that and the fact that he 's not an emotional threat to my family . he does n't manipulate carly and he does n't treat the boys like he owns them . dominic : so the fact that carly 's crazy about jason has nothing to do with it ? jax : of course it does . so i 've cultivated a hands - off policy as far as jason 's concerned . because carly loves him beyond all reason . now i think it might be rough sailing for a while , but i have to believe that carly will eventually forgive my role in sonny 's arrest . dominic : but not jason , right ? he 's a deal - breaker ? jax : yeah , if i were to do that , i might as well shoot myself . carly would come after me with a vengeance . so i leave it alone . jason gets a free pass from me . but not sonny .

[ scene_break ] agent rayner : i assume you 've been aware of your son 's paternity for some time ? olivia : since the moment dante was conceived . agent rayner : and during the course of this investigation , did it occur to you to perhaps speak up sooner ? olivia : i did n't want anyone , especially dante , knowing that sonny was his father . and i have kept this secret a very long time , but i 'll tell you what -- i will blow it sky high unless you get my kid taken off this case . agent rayner : that 's the trade - off for your silence ? olivia : yeah . i 'm not asking you to stop anything permanently . you keep all the evidence that dante collected , but you put another cop on this case to keep building it . it may take you another year or so , but you 'll catch sonny eventually . agent rayner : i do n't like it . olivia : i did n't expect that you would . agent rayner : you do n't give me much of a choice . olivia : i 'm glad you see it my way . agent rayner : bye , miss falconeri . olivia : agent rayner . agent rayner : it 's rayner . change of plans . push the arrest warrant through for sonny corinthos as soon as possible . we 're putting this sucker to bed now .

[ clears throat ] um , what about what i did ? can you let that go , too ? [ scene_break ] olivia : a divorce ? i do n't understand . dante : a lot has happened between me and lulu , ma -- too much . olivia : [ sighs ] but i thought i finally convinced her to stop blaming valerie for everything , to really take a look at your marriage and what went wrong and -- and to try to figure out where and -- and -- and how the trust went away . honey , i know that if the two of you can just talk this out and stop letting it be all about valerie , i know that she could figure it out . dante : we have n't . olivia : when i heard the situation she was in with johnny , i just -- i thought for sure that it would make her appreciate her family and her marriage more . why would she decide all of a sudden that she wanted a divorce ? dante : it was n't her decision , ma . it was mine . [ scene_break ] johnny : screw dante . where the hell does he get off , giving you a guilt trip , least of all about me ? lulu : no , dante was just pointing out the obvious . i was completely in the wrong . johnny : aww , come on . lulu : you showed up , and i asked you for help . and i have made this gigantic mistake that has cost you your freedom , johnny , and pushed dante over the edge . he wants a divorce . johnny : lulu , i 'm sorry . i can see it 's just tearing you up , but do n't you think it 's for the better ? lulu : no . johnny : he betrayed you with valerie . lulu : and it hurt . but it was n't our only problem . olivia helped me to see that the trouble between me and dante ... did start before valerie . you said it yourself , right ? johnny : yeah . lulu : we were having issues with trust last year . dante and i should have been working towards a solution together . but i was so caught up in chasing revenge that i - i could n't see it , and now it 's too late . [ scoffs ] johnny : you sure about that ? nothing i can do to help ? lulu : maybe there is something . [ scene_break ] epiphany : i knew this moment was coming . you are my patient , and i get results , but i was n't expecting anything so soon .

[ scene_break ] lucas : that is great news ! oh , my god , i am so happy that you guys are n't wasting any time . julian : yeah ? lucas : yeah . julian : it does n't make you feel bad that you and brad are in marriage limbo ? lucas : oh , come on . one has nothing to do with the other . i mean , i had no idea i 'd have so many crazy complications to face , but look , no , i am -- i am thrilled for you guys . all right . i know how you feel about her , dad . i do . i see it . and i think she 's pretty great , too . i mean , after all , she 's the one that convinced you to walk the straight and narrow . and i am so relieved that you are not in that business anymore . i ca n't even tell you . i mean , look , this -- this guy almost killed you in all that mob craziness last year . look , i deal with enough shooting victims in the er , i do not need to see anybody else , let alone you -- and i am relieved to know that it 's not gon na be you one of these days . julian : hmm . well , i hope you 're right about that . lucas : what ? what are you not saying ? what 's wrong ? is there somebody after you ? [ scene_break ] olivia : you 're leaving lulu for valerie ? dante : no , no . olivia : dante , this is not how i raised you . would you stop ? i rai -- dante : stop , okay ? i 'm not leaving lulu for valerie , okay ? i -- uh , valerie and i have hardly even seen each other lately . olivia : then why are you divorcing lulu ? ! dante : [ sighs ] look , what you read in the paper , okay , what happened between lulu and johnny , that was a lie , okay ? johnny took the fall for lulu . otherwise , she would be headed to pentonville with him . [ scene_break ] johnny : lulu , you tell me whatever you need . if it 's in my power , you got it , even if my hands are tied . lulu : what i need is for you to know how grateful i am that you are taking the fall for something that i set in motion . johnny : i was n't some innocent bystander , lulu . i knew there was risk . lulu : and you took it -- for me . you ca n't say no to me . johnny : i can . sometimes . probably . lulu : [ chuckles ] this one 's all on me , johnny . we both know it . if you had n't lied to exonerate me , i could be going to prison , too . the thought of that , of being away from rocco for years , would have killed me . what you did , johnny , was give me a second chance with my son to do better . now i just have to figure out what happened to get me to such a low point that i would do something so wrong . i want to be someone that my son is proud of , someone that i 'm proud of , and i want that for you , too . johnny : it 's a little late for that . lulu : it does n't have to be . for as long as i 've known you , you have had this tug - of - war between the side of you that wants to build something good ... and the side of you that ... wants to burn it down . johnny : well , the war 's over , and the good side lost . lulu : no , no . you know why ? 'cause you have a kind heart ... and you do have integrity . you are capable of amazing generosity and kindness . johnny : [ scoffs ] no . lulu : so while you 're in prison ... i want you to work on that side of yourself , okay ? do n't join a gang this time . johnny : [ laughs ] lulu : do n't do it . please , just find something useful and productive so that when you get out -- because you will get out -- then you can truly be free . you can just be the good guy who does n't have to hide from anyone or anything . you 've given me a second chance , johnny , and you deserve it , too . johnny : so , if i do decide to be a good guy , does that mean there 's a chance for us ? [ scene_break ] maxie : when i told you and dante that johnny was still in town , that helped you out , right ? nathan : without a doubt . maxie : okay , so , ca n't you just forgive the rest of it , all of my lies ? nathan : of course , i can . i love you too much not to . maxie : i 'm so sorry , nathan . nathan : it 's okay . despite the fact that you were covering for lulu , i know i can trust you . maxie : actually ... [ sighs ] i 'm not so sure about that . [ scene_break ] epiphany : i nailed it , did n't i ? you want your enemies to think you 're still down for the count . sonny : i know i have a long way back . epiphany : uh , uh , so you 'll what , suddenly stand up and surprise everybody by walking ? sonny : something like that . epiphany : i guess that makes sense in regards to your business , but what about carly , the woman who worried about you , hoped for you , devoted days and nights to you ? you do n't want to share this -- this enormous victory with her ? and what about your kids ? ! you want to let your loved ones stay worried about you ? [ sighs ] you do n't want to let them know that you 're making progress when you secretly are ? sonny : i know what i 'm doing . epiphany : and so do i. i do n't have time for this nonsense . i have nurses to harass . [ scene_break ] lucas : what are you saying ? one of your old enemies has it out for you ? julian : well , nothing so dire . let 's just say that , uh , some people are n't willing to let bygones be bygones . lucas : ah , sonny . julian : mm - hmm . lucas : you want me to have carly talk him down ? julian : absolutely not . i do n't want you anywhere near this . lucas : if i can do something to get through -- julian : no , no . that 's not even remotely why i 'm here , okay ? so yes , alexis gets credit for launching me into the legitimate business world and away from my old ways , but [ sighs ] it was finding out that i 'm a father that really changed me . and before leo , there was you and sam . lucas : i 'm sorry we got off to a rough start . i 'm glad we got past it . julian : you need to know , lucas , that you are the one that opened my eyes , okay ? you taught me that , uh , a real father accepts his child and loves his child . it 's that simple . so because of that , i would be honored and , uh , privileged if you would stand by me when i say my vows to alexis . lucas : [ chuckles ] julian : hmm ? lucas : you want me to be your best man ? julian : i think you 've earned that . lucas : wow ! i would -- i would love to stand up for you , dad . julian : fantastic . [ scene_break ] nathan : why ca n't i trust you exactly ? maxie : because of what happened to valerie . where do you think lulu got that idea ? nathan : you told lulu to get johnny to kidnap valerie and then put her in a burning cabin . maxie : no , of course not , but i told lulu if she was really fighting for her marriage , she would go big or go home . i mean , lulu has been so unhappy for so long , and i just wanted to encourage her to be proactive . nathan : maxie , you did n't tell her to commit a felony . maxie : no , i did n't . but lulu blames valerie for destroying her marriage , and that is all she can see right now . that 's how she came up with this insane , dangerous , totally self - destructive plan . nathan : well , good . i 'm glad that you can see that lulu made a huge mistake . maxie : i know what an astonishingly bad idea this was , but , nathan , lets be real . i mean , if -- if i was in lulu 's shoes ... i would have done the exact same thing . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu says she did n't ask johnny to come back to town . he came back on his own . but once he got here , she asked him to help her . olivia : wait , lulu asked johnny to hurt valerie ? dante : no . she says that she just wanted her out of the way . olivia : [ sighs ] dante : and with valerie out of the equation , we would get back together . so she pointed johnny at valerie . he tried to frame her for corruption and get her driven out of town . olivia : god , lulu . i get it . i get what lulu did , going to johnny like that , was so wrong , and valerie could have been so badly hurt . dante : hurt , hurt ? ma , she -- she could have died in the fire . olivia : okay , but -- but -- but just hold on . hear me out here . you got to look at lulu 's intention . dante : [ scoffs ] olivia : was her intention for valerie to die ? no . her intention was to save her marriage to you . dante : look , this is n't even about valerie , okay ? me and lulu were having problems right back from summer , when -- when she left the country with dillon and lied about that . then , she 's been lying to me about hiding johnny for weeks . olivia : like you lied to her about sleeping with valerie ? dante : lies do n't cancel each other out , okay ? they just pile on top of each other , okay ? i do n't have an ounce of trust left in her . she does n't have an ounce of trust left in me . i do n't know how we 're supposed to get back from that , okay ? and i just wish -- i just want to stay angry about it , okay ? olivia : because when you 're busy being angry , you do n't have to feel the pain ? aww . [ scene_break ] johnny : you want me to be a good guy ? i can do that for you . lulu : johnny -- johnny : no , no . it will make surviving pentonville a little easier this time , you know , if i got something to look forward to , like us . lulu : i will always love you , johnny . you know that . do n't change for me . do it for yourself . take this mess that i made for you and turn it into something good . johnny : no , no , no . i made my own mess . maybe it 's time for me to start taking a look , cleaning it up , taking a look at all the bad choices and the regrets . there 's a long list . lulu : there 's some good things on that list . johnny : [ chuckles ] right at the top of that list , sharing a new year 's eve kiss with you . that 's got to mean a bright start to 2016 for both of us , right ?

[ scene_break ] jason : i can think of 2 times dominic 's acted suspiciously . one is the warehouse bust when he actually took the fall for johnny and did nothing to avoid being arrested . spinelli : i mean , he was taken in by the law abiding ones , but then walked away on a technicality due to the legal brilliance of his attorney . the brusque lady of justice has done the same thing for you on many occasions . jason : i 'm gon na call diane . i 'm gon na go over that case with her again . spinelli : and when was the other time ? jason : the second one was , um , dominic was assigned to take out tommy soto , and he botched that job . tommy got the drop on him , and tommy disappeared . spinelli : that is curious . jason : obviously tommy 's running for his life and he 's gon na try to stay hidden , but it does n't make any sense because we have so many connections . we have should have heard something on tommy by now , and we have n't . spinelli : perhaps clues to dominic 's guilt or innocence lie at mr. sir 's residence . jason : okay , that 's a good point . i mean , dominic is in and out of sonny 's house all the time . i 'm gon na go question his staff . spinelli : in the meantime , i 'll devote my cyber skills to searching more law enforcement mainframes , see if a case against sonny is being assembled . jason : hey , you know what . check if there 's any references to an undercover cop .

[ chuckles ] robin : oh , my parents would be very amused by this whole thing . terrell : really ? why ? robin : well , they 're very comfortable with all sorts of gadgets . you know , lipsticks that are really cameras , wallets that shoot out poisoned darts . can i help you with that ? terrell : oh , well ... robin : there you go . terrell : you know , i had to grab some new tools on the way over . i have n't unpacked mine yet and i 'm not familiar with these . robin : totally understand . i 'm just grateful that you 're helping me . terrell : so what kind of work do your parents do ? robin : they 're spies . terrell : no , really . robin : really . they are . my mom loves to drop in on me and patrick via parachute . anyway , a garage door opener would be nothing for them . terrell : oh , yeah , well , um , you know what , i 'm glad i 'm here to save the day . why do n't i just take a look at that garage ? robin : okay , yeah , you 'll probably want to start with the electrical panel if we 're dealing with a short . everything in the house pretty much goes through it . terrell : okay , sounds like a plan . these will be better off there . [ robin chuckles ] [ scene_break ] lulu : should i call someone ? johnny : no , i just aggravated an old injury , that 's all . lulu : it 's a gunshot wound and it 's not old . johnny : i 'm alive , right ? lulu : you are unbelievable . you break up with olivia and you 're acting out like you usually do . johnny : stop being so perceptive , will you ? lulu : dude , i get it , okay ? and i 'm sorry that you and olivia broke up . johnny : what happened with you and dante ? lulu : he lied about some important stuff . and i could n't trust him , so i broke up with him . johnny : sorry to hear that . lulu : why ? you do n't even like him . johnny : dante and i are natural enemies , yeah . and i do n't like the way he uses his badge to protect his father , but i do n't want to see you hurt , again . [ lulu chuckles ] johnny : you deserve better than that . lulu : thanks . johnny : i mean it , lulu . you , me , we never really stood a chance , but dante -- lulu : i do n't really want to talk about it . johnny : all i 'm saying is you deserve better than dante falconeri . i mean it . you 're an amazing woman , lulu . lulu : i 'm glad somebody thinks so . [ scene_break ] dante : you know , you 're supposed to be defending me and brenda in a wrongful death suit . aleksander janacek has nothing to do with it . theo : aside from the fact that brenda shot him . the same situation nearly 4 years ago . the connection is obvious and damaging . dante : yeah , great . both cases were self defense . banovic worked for the balkan . aleksander was the balkan 's son . they both tried to kill me . if not for brenda , i 'd be dead . theo : but you had to cover it up . dante : yeah , you know , i did the best i could at the time . theo : meaning you dumped aleksander 's body in a swamp and walked away . did you really think no one would ever find out ? dante : look , this guy was the scum of the earth . he was a waste of oxygen . we 'd all be better off if he was still in the swamp . theo : this case is far more complicated then i expected . dante : then why do n't you just settle and get it over with ? theo : i would love nothing more than that . but the banovic family will not consider it . even if what you 're saying is true and aleksander was attacking you , why did n't you call for help ? he might have lived . why did n't you arrest him on some charge ? why did you have no respect for the oath that you were sworn to uphold ? dante : you 're really , uh , really concerned about aleksander . he has nothing to do with anything . theo : unless brenda falls apart on the stand and tells the jury everything . [ scene_break ] jason : you know my life 's not set up for kids . but that 's not fair to you . that should n't affect you . sam : what are you talking about , jason ? my life is just as dangerous . that 's why i do n't think it 's right to have kids . jason : okay , as long as you know i support whatever you choose . sam : i mean , and even if i did want to try , i need better odds than 50/50 . i do n't think i could stand to lose another baby . jason : you would n't have gotten hurt if it was n't for me . you should n't even have to have this procedure . sam : manny ruiz pulled that trigger , jason , you did n't . jason : you were in my arms , sam . and that 's on me . and i do n't want to keep you from having something that you really want . sam : i am happy . i was happy before i thought having kids was an option . jason , i do n't want to do this to myself . i do n't want to make myself crazy . i do n't want to be miserable . i love you . i love you . and i love our life together . i like this just the way it is .

[ scene_break ] dante : since no one can predict what brenda might say on the stand , should n't you be working to keep her off of it ? theo : that may not be an option . if opposing council finds out about aleksander janacek , they can easily prove that you covered for brenda on both occasions . dante : well , you have to keep that from happening . theo : well , i will do my best . but if that happens , you will be seen as a dirty cop . a liar . or even a murderer . since you refused to get help for either victim . dante : i do n't get it ; you 're supposed to be this great lawyer . why do n't you do something , file an injunction , make anything about aleksander inadmissible . theo : i need to know what i 'm keeping out , detective . dante : you know what , you 're supposed to be defending me and brenda and it just feels like you 're treating us as suspects . theo : you do n't seem to grasp what trouble you 're in . dante : just win the case , all right ? do whatever it takes . theo : that 's why i 'm here , detective . make no mistake about that .

[ glass shatters ] olivia : sonny ? sonny : it 's fine . i just broke a glass . olivia : uh ... to be more accurate , uh , you threw a glass at the wall . what 's going on ? what 's got you so upset ? sonny : not what . who . morgan . julian : i hope you 've got some favors to call in with your father . i mean , sonny ca n't be too happy with you at the moment , huh ? ava : leave it alone , julian . julian : what ? ignoring the situation wo n't make it go away . i wonder if , uh , sonny 's angry enough to kill you , kid . sam : come on . you 're making a mistake . silas : this guy 's way beyond mistake . this is full - blown incompetence . sam : stop ! nathan : thanks to you , ms . morgan , a 20-year - old case is about to be closed . sam : you 've got the wrong man ! nathan : you sure you 're not the one with the wrong man ? silas : that 's cute . how long did it take you to think that one up ? rafe : silas ? you 're under arrest ? silas : it seems so , rafe , yeah . rafe : why ? what did you do ? silas : i did n't do anything , rafe . this is all a big misunderstanding . nathan : we 'll see if the judge agrees . let 's go . rafe : i 'm coming with you . silas : hey , i do n't think that 's such a good idea , kid . rafe : i 'm not gon na watch this guy drag you off to jail . sam : hey , your uncle 's right . i think it 's best for you to stay put , and there 's no reason for you to spend the -- rafe : well , i ca n't just pretend like -- sam : listen , i know you want to help , but the best thing for you to do is just stay here . i 'm gon na go with him , and i promise you , i will call as soon as i know anything . rafe : you promise ? sam : yes , of course . silas : rafe , everything 's gon na be okay . nathan : let 's go . sam : i got it . sonny : forget i said anything . olivia : well ... sonny , like i 'm gon na forget it after a build - up like that ? sonny : next time i get like this , just -- sh -- just ignore me next time i get like this . olivia : get like what ? sonny : like this . olivia : what , like brooding , pissed off , and dark ? sonny , if i ignored you every time you acted like this , you 're a wonderful man , but i 'd hardly ever see you . sonny : i 'm sorry . olivia : i do n't want you to apologize . i just want to know what 's going on . what is this ? morgan ? what happened ? sonny : [ breathes deeply ] i just get so angry . what happened is he 's a traitor . morgan is still working for julian . he never stopped . ava : come on , julian . would you stop being so dramatic ? there is no way sonny will kill his own son . julian : well , you should run that by dante falconeri . sonny had no problem putting a bullet in his chest despite their , uh , shared dna . and did n't he shoot michael , as well ? hmm . looks like it 's your turn , kid . morgan : my dad did n't shoot , michael , all right ? it was a ricochet bullet . julian : mm . well , of course . yeah , 'cause that makes all the difference . ava : what happened to michael was an accident . and dante was an undercover cop . sonny did n't even know that he was his son when he shot him . there 's no way that sonny 's gon na target morgan . oh , well , that sounds like wishful thinking to me . ava : and it sounds to me like you 're intentionally exaggerating . julian : not at all . look , in my experience , when a man gets betrayed , he wants payback , at any price . ava : speak for yourself . julian : fine . i 'll tell you who i 'm angry -- [ grunts ] -- to kill . duke lavery . duke : you 're right . you are correct . i did not meet with nikolas cassadine , and i feel very foolish for lying to you , but the fact is , uh ... i find the truth more ... i 'm more ashamed of the truth . anna : what does that mean ? duke : i 've had so much time on my hands , anna . i 've been wandering around the streets aimlessly , trying not to look at my telephone , willing it to ring . i found myself down at the docks , you came across me there ... and the truth is , i did n't want to tell you how poor my job prospects are . anna : you do n't -- there 's no reason to be embarrassed , not with me . i mean , the economy is still recovering . look , the only reason that you 're unemployed is because you quit your job with derek wells . you have too much integrity to work for a mobster . duke : well , okay , but i can hardly put that on a résumé , can i ? anna : you do n't have to be ashamed . in fact , quite contrary , i am very proud of you for your persistence . and something will turn up . i 'm sure . duke : i hope so . anna : so that 's all this was about ? [ telephone ringing ] duke : you better get that . anna : yeah . i know . we can talk about this later , okay ? devane . felicia : i ca n't believe you hit scott . mac : aah ! it 's cold . well , you would n't let me tell kevin , and i could n't just sit there , not after you told me scott slept with lucy . scott : felicia ? she 's the reason why mac gave me a knuckle sandwich ? lucy : um ... i -- i assume so , because i -- i sort of -- sort of told her about ... you know ! and i told her in confidence ! but she must have ... run right to mac and blabbed . felicia : what were you thinking , going after the d.a . ? mac : i was n't thinking . i was sending a message . felicia : really ? by slugging the district attorney ? do n't you think scott 's going to press charges ? mac : felicia , i do n't care what baldwin does . you know , he 's a smarmy home wrecker who 's nosing around with my best friend 's wife . as far as i 'm concerned , he got off easy . lucy : mac hit you because he knows you slept with me . scott : so what ? jaw will heal . lucy : oh , forget about your jaw . what about kevin ? kevin 's mac 's best friend . mac could tell kevin everything . mac : scott baldwin has a lot more to worry about than pressing charges against me . felicia : you hope . mac : you know , as far as i 'm concerned , i just might tell kevin all about it . scott : mac 's not gon na say anything . lucy : [ scoffs ] of course mac is gon na say something , because he 's mac . he 's a loyal , decent , stupendously honest man . he is so gon na tell . scott : well , i would love to sit around here and shoot the breeze with you , but i got to go to work . lucy : [ sighs ] felicia : so , how did you leave things with scott ? mac : you mean after i punched him ? i did the only thing i could do . i told him to stay the hell away from lucy . lucy : good . that -- that 's good . yep . you go to work , and , uh , we 'll just keep up pretenses and pretend everything is absolutely normal , and that way , we ca n't give mac any more proof . scott : i do n't care how much proof mac has . he can threaten me all he wants . i 'm not gon na stop seeing you . lucy : felicia . felicia : lucy , what are you doing here ? lucy : no . you do not get to ask the questions this time . felicia : what questions ? lucy : i 'm gon na ask the questions about -- about mac . you told him what happened between scott and me . why ? why did you do that ? anna : oh , mr. d.a . how lovely for you to grace us with your presence . scott : well , commissioner , you made it clear that you did n't need my help , that you could handle everything on your own . anna : mm - hmm . scott : so , have you brought franco in yet ? anna : we 're looking for him . scott : well , i just assumed you 'd have him in custody 'cause you 're so hot to trot for that warrant . anna : you know what ? maybe if you 'd issued the warrant the first time i presented you with the evidence , we would have apprehended franco before he had a chance to run . but as it stands , we had to wait for the victim 's son to threaten you with the press in order for you to take action . scott : so now you 're blaming me . anna : oh , no , no , no . no . placing blame is just a waste of time and resources . unless you insist . scott : well , with all your so - called evidence , i just assumed you would have grabbed franco . does n't bode well for your other cases . do you think you 're ever gon na catch any criminals ? nathan : sit down . anna : i 'm sorry . you were saying ? olivia : i ca n't believe that morgan would betray you after the way you took him back . sonny , are you sure ? sonny : positive . olivia : but ... i was just so sure that he meant it when he said he wanted to come home . sonny : i did , too , but i saw him with ava . right ? he had this big explanation , trying to show that he 's rejecting her . did not ring true . olivia : okay . of course that woman is gon na do every trick in the book to try to keep her hooks in him , but that does n't mean that he 's still working for the brother . sonny : oh , he 's working for julian . i know that as a fact . olivia : how ? sonny : i set him up . julian : [ grunts ] that smarmy scottish weasel thinks he can work with corinthos against me . ava : it 's not a complete surprise that lavery wants to take you down , given his history with our family and you in particular . julian : please . lavery was always a coward . hiding behind that police commissioner girlfriend of his . he never fights his own battles . believe me . ava : some would consider that an effective strategy . julian : well , even today , lavery could n't face me man to man . he had to have other people help him work me over . ava : and work you over he did . you 're sure you 're all right . julian : [ groans ] yeah . i 'll be fine . but lavery wo n't be . i 'm not gon na forget this . duke lavery has to pay . molly : rafe , hi . rafe : hey . molly : are you here alone ? rafe : now i am , yeah . i came in here after school to get something to eat . it was just in time to see my uncle getting arrested . molly : what ? rafe : yeah , some cop just took him out of here in cuffs . tj : what was the charge ? rafe : i do n't know . sam went with him , and she said she 'd make sure everything was okay and she 'd call me . but silas is my only relative . if he 's in jail , who am i gon na live with ? molly : no . okay . do n't get ahead of yourself . look , if sam is with him , i 'm sure it 'll be fine . rafe : i just wish i knew what the charge was . tj : maybe silas killed someone . what ? i mean , i 'm just saying . rafe 's dad was a serial killer . maybe his uncle is a murderer , too . sam : any word ? silas : eh , they 're taking their sweet time . why do n't you go home and check on danny ? sam : i just called the nanny . danny 's fine . and i also checked in with my mother . she 's in court right now , and she will get here as soon as she can . silas : you know , when this nightmare first started , the reason why i did n't ask your mom to represent me is because i did n't want to have to tell her , or you , that i was married . sam : okay . well , at least now you have nothing to hide . silas : still , there 's no need to put alexis to any trouble . i mean , i could call diane . sam : uh , and diane is an excellent lawyer . silas : oh , yeah . she 'd cut through the detective like a chainsaw through butter . it 's be fun to watch . sam : okay . i know you might enjoy watching that , but that could wind up working against you . silas : how so ? sam : um ... like i said , diane is an excellent lawyer , but most of her clients ... are guilty , and i should know . jason was one of them . silas : you do n't have to tell me this . sam : but there 's really nothing to hide . jason did what he did . he was n't ... ashamed of it . he was -- he was actually great at it . but having diane miller represent him was basically telling the pcpd , `` i did it . `` silas : what do i care , if i walk out of here a free man ? sam : well , right now it seems that detective west is the only one who 's going after you , and if you hire diane miller , she 's gon na take it up to the next level . silas : right . becomes a grudge thing . the d.a . just wants to beat her once , right ? sam : it also means that a lot of people in port charles would assume that you `` got away with `` trying to kill your wife . silas : i did n't do it , sam . sam : i know . silas : you know the irony of all this ? i want justice for nina more than the detective does . sam : okay . then trust me and hire my mom , please . she can do just as good of a job as diane . plus , you do n't want everyone walking around saying you 're guilty . silas : okay , i 'll tell you what i 'm gon na do . i 'll make you a deal -- i 'll wait ... if you go home to danny . sam : [ chuckles ] not gon na happen . there 's no way . i 'm staying here until we get you out of this . nathan : well , i spoke to henry nakamura . he was the pharmacist at manhattan north in 1991 . he remembers filling the prescription . scott : what prescription ? anna : dr. clay 's wife , nina , has been in a coma for 20-odd years . and she od 'd on some antidepressants . the original theory was that this was a suicide attempt gone wrong . but now this prescription has been uncovered , and it was a liquid version of the medication that she was taking . the prescription was written by dr. clay for himself on the day that she od 'd . nathan : now , the pharmacist clearly remembers dr. clay coming in and picking up the prescription . all he h to do was go home and inject his wife . scott : do we have anything that resembles a motive ? anna : well , he was having an affair . we know this because his mistress -- she delivered the child right after the wife went into a coma . nathan : we have means , motive , opportunity . it all adds up to attempted murder . anna : what do you think ? is it enough for an indictment ? duke : hi . mac : hey , duke . what 's going on ? first round 's on the house . what can i get you ? duke : whilst i appreciate the offer , i 'm gon na take a rain check . i 'm actually here to pick up some takeout food . i want an order of your very famous short ribs with all the trimmings . mac : wow . what 's the occasion ? normally , you just have the coleslaw . yeah . i was gon na take anna out to lunch , but she 's slammed over at the office , so i thought i would take lunch to her . mac : well , you 're a stand - up guy . anna 's lucky to have you . duke : i 'm not sure how stand - up i am . mac : why ? what 'd you do ? felicia : sorry , lucy . i did n't mean to break your confidence . lucy : oh . well , yet somehow you managed to do just that . felicia : well , you know , mac kept going on and on about kevin and how your marriage was back on track and how the four of us should all go out to dinner sometime and ... i guess -- ugh ! i guess he just saw it on my face . lucy : on -- on -- oh . wow . how perceptive is mac ? felicia : mac and i have always had issues with honesty , and we 've put that behind us . we have learned to tell the truth with each other , and i 'm not gon na lie to him . lucy : i never asked you to lie for me ! felicia : well , how am i supposed to get through this secret ? lucy : what did mac do ? did he just come out and ask you point - blank , `` are lucy and scott sleeping together ? `` felicia : oh , god , i 'm sorry . i 'm never good at keeping secrets . lucy : oh , pfft ! okay . okay , okay . i have been known in the past to spill some beans on occasion , but i always try to not do that when it might involve somebody getting bodily harmed . i just can not believe that mac marched right into scott 's hotel room and smacked him right in the jaw . felicia : wait a minute . how did you know about that unless you were in scott 's room ? lucy ... did you sleep with scott again ? sonny : last thing i wanted was to doubt my son . olivia : but , sonny , i ... i just think that morgan is so impulsive . he 's young and -- and i 'm sorry to say this but maybe a little bit spoiled . i think the thing with kiki hurt him so badly , but i think this fight with you , it 's him even more . sonny : what am i supposed to do , olivia ? am i supposed to look the other way while he 's working with people to go against me , to destroy me ? olivia : you know ... you may not realize because you were an only child , but this sibling - rivalry thing , it 's really tough . now , you know i was never competitive with my brothers , but with connie ? god , she -- she was -- you know -- the pride of the family . she was so smart and accomplished and obviously on her way to great things . when i was morgan 's age , i mean , i was so jealous of her , i could barely see straight . i think that 's what 's going on with morgan and michael . sonny : so , because michael 's loyal , then morgan 's gon na be a traitor ? is that what you 're saying ? olivia : no , no , he 's lashing out , sonny . he 's lashing out . he does n't realize what 's actually at stake here . sonny : but i made the same excuses when i took him back in ! but i was not convinced he was lost , so i had to do the only thing i could do , which was give him bad information , see what he would do with it . olivia : and ? sonny : he went to julian ! olivia : i 'm so sorry . sonny : no , there 's nothing to be sorry about . olivia : so , what are you gon na do ? julian : oh . ava : you really should get those ribs taped up . julian : ow . yeah . maybe i 'll have you do the honors when i get back . [ sighs ] ava : so , what are you gon na do ? are you gon na get rid of duke ? julian : well , now who 's being dramatic ? ava : just answer the question . julian : do n't worry . there are other ways to , uh ... neutralize duke lavery . and you -- keep your head down , yeah ? morgan : you -- you think he wo n't kill duke ? ava : what i think is irrelevant . julian will do what julian thinks is best . just hope he 's smart about it . why ? well , does he usually make good with his threats ? ava : in my experience . what makes you ask ? morgan : you know , uh ... you know the night that you found me at julian 's hotel room ? ava : yeah . you told me that you had just reaffirmed your loyalty to julian . i suggested that we all go to the restaurant and share some champagne . you agreed and then promptly stood me up . morgan : that was n't true , ava . i -- i was n't talking to julian about that . ava : okay . what were you talking about ? morgan : [ breathes deeply ] i told julian that i -- that i wanted to quit . and he made it very clear that that was n't gon na happen ... not unless i paid a serious price . molly : tj , how could you say that ? tj : that stephen clay was a serial killer ? it 's public knowledge . i mean , not like it 's gon na be a big surprise if his brother is , too . rafe : yeah , my dad was a serial killer . so what ? it 's not like your family 's perfect , either , tj what about shawn , huh ? he killed your dad , did n't he ? is n't that why you live with him ? tj : that was an accident . besides , they were fighting in a war . it 's not like shawn committed cold - blooded murder . rafe : yeah , maybe not , but what about the other killing he does ? yeah . shawn works as sonny 's bodyguard , right ? we all know what that means . i mean , if the guy 's not a hit man , what was he doing at the warehouse shootout ? tj : wait . what warehouse shootout ? rafe : you know exactly what i 'm talking about , tj you were there . tj : how do you know about that ? felicia : i ca n't believe you slept with scott again . lucy : well , i did n't plan on it . i just was in his room when . when i was in scott 's room , he was there , and i was there , and it just -- just sort of happened . felicia : what were you doing in his room in the first place ? lucy : i did not go there to sleep with him . i promise you that . i just -- i -- i simply went to , um ... talk to him ... about franco . did you realize that he actually put out on apb on his own son ? i thought that was disgraceful . so i just -- i just went and told him that . felicia : are you sure that 's the reason you went to scott 's room ? lucy : well , what else could i possibly be doing there ? i certainly have nothing to talk to scott about , do i ? felicia : that 's right . that 's my point . does n't have anything to talk about . i think you were just using it as an excuse . lucy : oh , felicia , i do n't know what i 'm doing . i -- i do n't know . i told you before , there 's just this attraction between scott and me , and we ca n't seem to help ourselves . wait a minute . what 're you gon na do ? now that you know this , are you gon na go and run and tell mac again ? duke : i did n't do anything . i mean , what i -- well , i mean , the truth is , none of us are perfect , least of all me . i mean , we try to act unselfishly , but sometimes the choices that we make tend to hurt the people that we love the most . mac : do n't i know it . scott : no , you do n't have enough to hold dr. clay . nathan : excuse me , sir , i just handed you witness testimony on top of a file full of evidence that goes back over 20 years . if you do n't think you can win this case , maybe you better think about another line of work . anna : oh . that 's enough , detective west . scott : commissioner , did you just back me up ? anna : i expect all my officers to treat the d.a . with the utmost respect . of course , it would be lovely if the d.a . reciprocated and did n't ignore my phone calls or bully my staff . scott : i 'm not bullying . i 'm just looking for some hard evidence , and there is none in this case . nathan : well , you 're welcome to look at the file . anna : uh , you know what , detective west ? i do agree with the d.a . -- we do n't really have enough evidence to hold dr. clay at the moment . sam : good . then let him go . come on . detective west has already dragged silas down here in handcuffs . do you really want to give him any more ammunition to sue this department for false arrest ? julian : well , what 's going on , gang ? both : none of your business . julian : ah . okay . sam : what happened to your face ? julian : nothing . sorry to interrupt , but , uh , i need to speak to the commissioner , in private . anna : uh , just talk to the desk sergeant . he 'll get you an appointment . julian : oh , i understand that you and i wo n't be having any tea anytime soon , commissioner , but i do believe you 're a public servant , am i right ? and as a member of the public , i think you owe me five minutes , hmm ? anna : yeah . of course . um , i 'll be right back . follow me . julian : excuse me . [ sighs ] anna : so you 've got five minutes -- no more . julian : i do n't need any more . i , uh , simply need to talk to you about your , uh ... [ grunts ] ... boyfriend , duke lavery . anna : i do n't see how he 's any of your business . julian : oh , well , it is if he assaults me . anna : i 'm sorry . what ? julian : apparently , it 's part of his new job . anna : what new job ? julian : working for sonny corinthos . sonny : when i saw morgan at the hospital , i thought that i 'd gotten through to him . he had remorse in his eyes . and , you know , after shooting max , i thought he was changed . but he was playing me . olivia : i know how much this has to hurt you . sonny : that hurt me . but you know what ? he 's hurt me before . but this is worse . he was acting like , you know , he was on my side , that he was loyal , and all the time , he was lying . i ca n't look away . olivia : i understand how serious this betrayal is , but ... morgan is your son . sonny : it does n't matter who he is . what morgan did ... can not be tolerated . morgan : i 'd gone to see max at the hospital , and that 's where i ran into my dad . he backed me into a room , put a gun in my hand , and told me to shoot him . ava : your father told you to shoot him ? morgan : yeah , but he was just -- he was just trying to make a point , and he was right . he -- he made me see that i ca n't do this anymore . but i could n't leave you , ava . but also i could n't keep working for the jeromes , so i just told julian i wanted out . ava : and he said there would be a serious price to pay . morgan : right . ava : what does that mean , exactly ? did he threaten you ? it 's all right . just tell me . morgan : no , he did n't threaten me . he threatened my family . mac : everything all right , ladies ? lucy : uh ... no . no . as a matter of fact , it -- it 's not . mac , come on . you know how much you two mean to me , especially felicia . she 's my very best friend in the whole wide world . but she had absolutely no right to tell you about my ... interlude with scott . mac : felicia and i have agreed to be honest with each other . lucy : okay . i know . i -- i get that . and as much as i do n't like my dirty laundry being aired out there for everybody to see , i realize what felicia was saying . she was trying to explain that there should n't be any secrets and you ca n't lie to each other and you ca n't keep anything from each other if you want to keep your marriage strong . mac : exactly . lucy : right . well , see ? that 's exactly what i 'm trying to do . mac : to keep your marriage strong by sleeping with scott ? that 's not the way to go about it . lucy : okay . that was terrible . and -- and it did n't mean anything , though . and it only happened the one time . i promise , it 's not gon na ever happen again , really . you know , telling kevin would certainly break his heart , and it would n't do anybody any good . right ? felicia , is n't that right ? felicia : i would never do anything to break kevin 's heart . lucy : [ breathes deeply ] right . so , i 'm so glad we 're all on board the same ship and we 're on the same page , and so , you know what i think i 'm gon na do ? i am just gon na go home and see that husband of mine , so ... ta . mac : well , i guess that 's the end of it . felicia : guess so . sam : if detective west does n't have enough evidence to hold dr. clay , you should let him go . nathan : well , the law allows us to hold dr. clay for 48 hours . d.a . baldwin , you give me the time , i know i can find you something more . sam : oh , come on . scott : you 've got 48 hours . call me when you get something . sam : satisfied ? nathan : not until we secure a conviction . in the meantime , i have to go secure a cell for dr. clay . might as well get comfortable . you 're not going anywhere just yet . silas : is this your big win , huh ? holding me on trumped - up charges you ca n't ever hope to prove ? nathan : i 'm not looking for a win . but it might be nice to have justice for your wife . silas : whatever my failings as a husband , i did n't try to kill my wife . and if you truly wanted justice for nina , you 'd start looking for the person who did . nathan : i 'll let you know when your cell 's ready . anna : duke is working for sonny ? that 's absurd . julian : [ grunts ] well , i guess he chose not to tell you , huh ? anna : there 's nothing to tell . god , you have made it your job to ruin duke 's life , and now you show up with this ridiculous story . why should i believe a word out of your mouth ? julian : well , it is true that there is no love lost between lavery and myself , but , seriously , if i wanted to make up stories , i 'm sure i could come up with something more interesting than duke working for port charles 's most notorious mobster . anna : you 're lying . julian : are you sure ? anna : duke ? duke : anna . anna : you were at wyndemere ? duke : yeah , i went to meet with nikolas cassadine about a job opportunity . anna : nikolas was here , you see , earlier , and he said you did n't go to wyndemere . julian : you know , i should go . my , uh , five minutes are up . ooh ! [ chatters ] oh , and , uh ... do n't worry about the beating . i do n't really want to press any charges against lavery for assaulting me . it 's not really my style . anna : is n't it ? julian : [ grunts ] i just really wanted you to know the whole story . sam : mom , hi . it 's me . can you call me when you get this , please ?

no ! morgan : ava , by now my dad knows exactly what i did to him . trust me -- he 's gon na be looking for me . ava : wait . take this . olivia : i do understand that morgan 's actions have consequences , but you do n't have to decide what those are right now . you -- you ... you 're too angry right now to think clearly . sonny : how do you know ? olivia : because i know you . i 've seen that look in your eyes on and off since we were little kids . sonny , that anger is eating you alive . sonny : you 're right , about that much . olivia : so the worst possible thing you could do right now is to take action . okay ? you need to sleep on this . you need to not think about morgan until the morning . sonny : how can i sleep when i 'm thinking about him ? how am i gon na be able -- i 'm worried about him . i ca n't sleep . olivia : i know . but i swear to you , this too shall pass . you will find a way through this . sonny : [ breathes deeply ] what would i do without you ?

not after what happened to max . ava : just for protection . morgan : i 'm not gon na protect myself by shooting my father , ava . no matter what happens , i 'm not gon na hurt anyone else . ava : that 's very noble of you ... but i want you to come back to me in one piece . please tell me that i 'll see you again . morgan : you will . ava : i love you . i 'm sorry . i should not have said that to you . morgan : no , hey , hey . do n't take that back . i love you , too . mac : hey . you okay ? felicia : fine . mac : you do n't seem fine . and since we agreed to tell each other the truth ... felicia : i have never been a fan of confrontation . and having it out with lucy like that was uncomfortable , to say the very least . mac : i know , but at least there 's no more secrets between us . everything is out in the open . scott : oh . hiya , lucy . what are you doing here ? come on in . lucy : no . no , no . i ca n't . i -- i , um -- i actually just stopped by to tell you that i had it out with felicia . i told her that ... this , whatever this is , it is over , and it 's not gon na happen again , and that she has no reason to tell kevin 'cause it would just devastate him for no reason . scott : and felicia 's okay with that . lucy : yeah , sure . no . well , i -- i nudged her in that direction . i got her that way , and i got mac on board , too . hoo ! we were lucky there . you know , we , um , dodged a bullet . but we do n't want to tempt fate , so that 's why this has got to be over . do you -- do you hear what i 'm saying ? scott : but there 's one problem with this . lucy : what 's that ? scott : you could have told me all that on the phone . but yet here you are . again . lucy : no . stop it . we ca n't do this . we ca n't keep ... doing this . rafe : just forget it . i have to go . molly : hold on . if he knew about the shootout -- tj : no , no , wait , wait . hold on a minute . somebody told anna devane that i was at the warehouse , and we just could n't figure it out . but it must have been you . anna : what 's all this ? duke : well , you could n't join me for lunch , so i thought i 'd join you for lunch . i hope you 're in the mood for ribs . anna : it 's very thoughtful . yeah . why do n't we go in my office ? we can have a nice long chat . nathan : yeah , that 's cute . come on . let 's go . silas : i 'll miss you . [ door opens , closes ] [ footsteps approaching ] julian : [ groans ] well , i took care of lavery , but , uh ... was n't nearly as satisfying as i 'd hoped . ava : that 's too bad . julian : what ? that 's it ? thought you might want to know what happened ? ava : because everything 's always about you , is n't it ? julian : what the hell are you talking about ? what are you doing ? ava : you threatened morgan 's family . now i 'm threatening mine . | sonny tells olivia that morgan is a traitor and that he is still working for the jeromes . he says that it does n't matter that morgan is his son ; he ca n't tolerate a betrayal like that . she advises him not to decide the punishment while he is angry . julian wonders if sonny is angry enough about morgan 's betrayal to kill him . julian leaves to make duke pay for the beating he gave julian . anna tells duke that she knows he was n't at wyndemere . he says he was embarrassed to tell her that he was on the docks brooding about not having found a job yet . julian tells anna that duke assaulted him and that he works for sonny . morgan tells ava that he tried to quit , but julian said there would be serious consequences if he did . he reveals that julian threatened his family . ava tries to give him a gun to take for protection when he goes to see sonny , but he refuses to take it . she blurts out that she loves him . |
ava : i have a right to know what this is about ! d - damn it ! where are you taking me ? ! you ... you 're one of his men , are n't you ? sonny sent you . [ scene_break ] sonny : shawn dug up the grave . nobody inside , just an empty casket . julian : well , that seals it , then . the man pulling the strings , pretending to be luke spencer , it 's his cousin , bill eckert . [ scene_break ] fluke : who dared defile this grave ? dante , what are you doing in the boneyard ? falconeri . [ scene_break ] johnny : so , how much booze are we gon na be serving at this party , anyway , for michael ? or is it gon na be completely dry in honor of aj being a chronic alcoholic ? lulu : whatever you think . johnny : well , the whole point was to get your input . lulu : can you just figure it out ? do i have to do everything myself ? johnny : sorry . just asking a question . lulu : sorry . johnny : what 's on your mind ? lulu : nothing . johnny : right , yeah . i figured . come on , hey . cough it up . what did dante do this time ? [ scene_break ] michael : dante ? carly : hi , michael . i hope you do n't mind that lucas gave me your new cell phone number . i just wanted to call you and tell you how proud i am of you . i think ... well , i think you opening up a clinic in aj 's name to honor him is just wonderful , and it 's a great thing for the community . and if you need any help or anything at all , you can call me . please do n't hesitate to call me . i love you . and i 'm not gon na give up on you , michael . jake : you did great . carly : i wonder what 's keeping dr. collins . jake : yeah , i thought shrinks kept pretty tight schedules . it 's not like their patients are n't anxious enough already , right ? carly : okay . well , he 'll be here soon , and then we will get to the bottom of what 's been going on with you . jake : you mean whether i 'm a criminal that goes around shooting up police stations , or -- carly : or a good man and friend that i believe you are .

[ scene_break ] sonny : all signs point to eckert being the luke impostor . julian : i thought you were convinced . sonny : you know what ? there are a lot of blanks that need to be filled in . but just because there 's no body does n't mean bill is our guy . julian : [ clears throat ] yeah , well , he 's the closest thing we have to a lock . sonny : until we get confirmation , we 're gon na move forward on the assumption that he 's who we 're dealing with . i just wish i had answers . julian : tell me about it . sonny : you got something you need to say to me ? 'cause go ahead . you better say it right now . julian : you try to have ava killed last night ? [ scene_break ] jake : look . i appreciate you saying that . i do , but the truth is -- carly : i mean it . i 'm as confused as you are about what we found in your bag . but i am not confused about you . i mean , from the second i met you , we had this connection . i immediately trusted you , and i do n't mean to brag , but i do really have some great instincts . hey . jake : i did n't -- carly : okay , you know , franco is the one exception . the one -- i take that back . he 's a perfect example , because my first instinct with franco was to hate him and to loathe him and to want him dead . and i went against those instincts . i did . i did n't trust my intuition , and i talked myself into believing in him . jake : as opposed to trusting a man with no name , no past , and an unmarked gun . carly : okay , dr. collins said that you were not a part of helping faison escape , that you were out looking for work . jake : yeah , that 's true . but what if it 's like you said ? maybe the memory of me out looking for work is n't real ? how about that ? carly : okay , you 're right . but that 's why we 're here , okay ? that 's why we 're here . we 're gon na wait for dr. collins , and he 's gon na help us work through all this . jake : you know , the flashes of grabbing sam were bad enough , but now i 'm losing time . and i 'm not talking about an hour here and there . i 'm talking about an entire night . carly : i 'm sorry . i know it 's unsettling . jake : unsettling ? carly , i woke up on the docks with no idea how i got there , with a bag with a gun in it and a mask . [ sighs ] it just does n't add up . what if sam was right about me , huh ? what if she 's right ? carly : you know what ? forget about sam , okay ? sam has no proof . jake : she would have proof if she knew what was in that bag . carly : well , she does n't , and she 's not going to , because that bag is in my safe in my office at the hotel . jake : oh , great , thus making you an accomplice . carly : whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty ? and no crime has been committed ! jake : [ scoffs ] we do n't know that . carly : i may have something that will help us find out . jake : what does that mean ? carly : it means that gun and the ski mask was n't the only thing i found in your bag . i found this . [ scene_break ] lulu : dante did n't `` do `` anything . johnny : really ? i can smell the marital discord from here . lulu : really ? how would you know ? johnny : i was married once . lulu : right . to an alternate personality . johnny : so , i should know a thing or two about discord . lulu : you know what ? dante and i are fine . johnny : okay . lulu : i hate when people do that . johnny : what ? lulu : they say , `` okay , `` and they really mean the opposite . johnny : oh . i do n't know . i just thought maybe there would be some fallout from the sucker punch dante threw me the other day . that 's all . lulu : yeah , yeah . dante 's still pissed . johnny : he 's pissed ? what about you ? he thinks he can just walk right in here and start dictating your life , like you 're some damsel in distress ? lulu : dante 's not mad at me , he 's mad at you , johnny , and he 's not the only one . [ scene_break ] fluke : falconeri . you are finished ! ! helena : well , temper , temper , temper . you would n't want your true colors showing . fluke : good morning . helena : well , it might be if i were n't in a cemetery . fluke : i would think you 'd feel right at home here . helena : why are you loitering by this particular grave ? fluke : because my son - in - law had it dug up ! helena : well , that 's dismaying since we both know there 's nothing inside . where is dante now ? fluke : five will get you ten , he 's headed for that basement . [ scene_break ] dante : michael , what are you doing here ? michael : i have a meeting with my architect to talk some specs . what are you doing here ? dante : i 'm thinking my father - in - law could be down there , if eckert has n't killed him yet . jordan : you ca n't tell anyone you suspect this . eckert will kill them -- and you -- in a heartbeat . dante : i wanted to follow up on shawn . see if he 'd been snooping around here with the restraining order . michael : right . thanks , man . dante : yeah , no problem . michael : any sign of him ? dante : i would n't know . i ca n't get in . the door 's locked . michael : oh , i got a key right here . let 's check it out . well , i 'm no detective , but it does n't look like shawn 's been here . dante : unless he 's in the basement . [ scene_break ] sonny : someone took a crack at ava ? how do you know ? julian : she told me . she managed to sneak over to our cellblock while you were catching up with shawn . sonny : and ? julian : and i guess a guard threatened to kill her . he would have done it then and there , but there was a disturbance with some of the other inmates . he got called away . sonny : lucky ava . julian : yeah , although it only bought her some time . he made it clear that it would n't be the last time she 'd see him . sonny : your sister 's gon na have to get some protection . julian : i 'm her protection . all i need to know is from whom . is it you , sonny ? you tried to have ava killed before . are you out to finish the job ? [ scene_break ] silas : it 's hard to believe it 's the same little girl you gave birth to , huh ? ava : [ laughing ] yeah ! she 's so big ... so beautiful . i suppose you think it 's tacky for me to say that , huh ? silas : no , it 's the truth . kiki and i ca n't push that stroller five feet without someone stopping to admire her . ava : i believe it . you two are obviously taking excellent care of her . silas : yeah . well , you know , she makes it easy . the pediatrician says she 's in perfect health . she passed all her tests with flying colors . ava : that 's good . i 'm happy . i 'm happy . silas : hey , uh ... i 'm sorry . i thought maybe this was a good idea . should i not have brought her ? ava : no . are you kidding ? no , it 's the best gift i could have asked for . the only person missing is kiki . silas : yeah , she wanted to come , but she 's not feeling well . i mean , nothing serious . i told her to stay home and rest . ava : good . she must be exhausted . i know looking after a little one is tiring . silas : she 's doing an amazing job . how 's it going in here ? ava : oh , you know , i make do ... despite sonny 's latest attempt to kill me . [ scene_break ] johnny : what are you mad at me for ? lulu : would it have killed you to , oh , i do n't know , leave the room while dante and i worked out our issues ? it would have , right , because you were enjoying every second ! johnny : that 's not true . lulu : no ? johnny : no . you think i enjoy watching dante order you around like that ? lulu : dante was not ordering me around . he was concerned . johnny : that we 're working together . lulu : and i have no intention of stopping . johnny : well , that makes me very happy to hear that because for a while , i thought dante was gon na make you sell me your half of the star . lulu : you knew that i was never going to sell . johnny : the point is , lulu , dante , as your husband , should understand what this place means to you . lulu : dante has no problem with me owning the haunted star . there 's just a problem with me owning it with you . johnny : does n't he understand that please , you 're a big girl , huh ? you can take care of yourself ? i mean , you 're lulu spencer . lulu : falconeri . johnny : i will never get used to that one . lulu : please try . and dante is aware that i am self - sufficient . but when it comes to you , he 's not thinking clearly . so , maybe , in the future , you could be a little more sensitive to that . johnny : okay . if it makes your life easier , then fine . lulu : thank you . johnny : but i 'm not doing it for him . lulu : understood . johnny : so , what do you suggest ? dante and i go off in the woods together , take a hike , build a campfire , sing , `` kumbaya `` ? we can go to couples therapy together . lulu : just a peace offering , anything , something . please cut the tension . johnny : you do n't think i 've gone out of my way to avoid the guy ? lulu : well , that 's not enough . just this morning , dante was upset when he found out that we were planning michael 's party together . probably would have been better if he did n't hear it from my dad . johnny : you did n't tell dante yourself that we 're planning this party ? lulu : i was going to . johnny : when ? lulu : soon ... ish . johnny : oh . well , when you get around to doing it , tell dante that he has nothing to worry about . it 's just business . you and i were in the past . he 's being paranoid . he 's seeing things that are n't there ... right ? [ scene_break ] michael : why do you want to get in the basement ? dante : was n't that where you said you found shawn when he was trying to get in ? michael : yeah , when i walked in , he was trying to pry the door open . but i doubt he 's been back since . yeah , it 's still locked . dante : maybe there 's another way in , a window . i just want to take a look , make sure . michael : yeah . go ahead . dante : michael , you do n't have a key ? michael : no , not to the basement . dante : forced entry it is . [ scene_break ] fluke : have fun with the corpses . i have business to attend to . helena : what 's the rush ? fluke : what do you think ? you know what happens if he goes into that basement . helena : well , he 'll find nothing , because we both know there 's nothing down there . fluke : translation ? helena : i 've seen to the matter . fluke : helena , damn it . what have you done ? [ scene_break ] jake : you found that in my bag ? carly : underneath the clothes and stuff . jake : it 's not mine . i do n't even own a phone . it does n't make any sense . carly : none of it makes sense . but you do n't remember the gun or the clothes , and you had them in your possession . so , this phone could belong to you . jake : okay . fine . yeah , maybe you 're right . maybe there 's something on it that could tell us who i am , right ? carly : or at least tell us what 's been happening to you . maybe in the texts or call log , it 'll give us some kind of information . what do we have to lose ? jake : all right , fire that sucker up . let 's see . come on . carly : okay . all right , let 's ... let 's see who you 've been communicating with .

[ scene_break ] fluke : you had the place condemned ? helena : well , a mere glimpse into my brilliance . fluke : how did you manage that ? helena : you remember nikolas made a special friend of mayor lomax . well , i 'm simply putting said friendship to good use . fluke : i see . helena : [ chuckles ] no `` thank you , helena `` ? fluke : thank you , helena , for a temporary fix to a problem that needs a permanent solution . helena : well , it 's better than nothing . fluke : yes . yes , it is . now i can put my attention on other matters , like tonight 's party at the haunted star . [ scene_break ] johnny : so , what 's the plan for tonight ? lulu : we should be prepared for anything . i think this place is gon na be packed . johnny : is it me , or is it just totally random and weird that there 's gon na be so many people showing up for a medical clinic in such a rundown neighborhood like elm street ? lulu : ooh , do n't let my dad hear you say that . remember -- he grew up on elm street . although he did n't have very many pleasant childhood memories , he 's really touchy on the subject . johnny : really . lulu : yeah . it took a lot of lobbying on michael 's part to win my dad over . johnny : so , luke does n't want his childhood home torn down , huh ? lulu : mnh - mnh . johnny : never would have pegged luke for nostalgic . lulu : it 's weird , right ? johnny : yeah . lulu : if you 'd have asked me a year ago my dad 's thoughts on tearing that house down ? i would have thought he 'd be driving the bulldozer . johnny : but now ? lulu : i think all that time in captivity made him reevaluate things . johnny : hmm . lulu : he came back a changed man . johnny : maybe the change goes deeper than you think . [ scene_break ] fluke : tonight has to go off smoothly . i have too much riding on it to suffer another failure . helena : oh , do n't worry . you will not be disappointed . fluke : really ? you do n't think so ? so far , my crew has done nothing to engender confidence . even the simplest tasks have been disaster . and too many people have escaped with their lives because of it . [ scene_break ] silas : tell me what happened . ava : one of the guards held a blade on me . silas : what ? ! ava : the only reason i 'm alive is because he was called away to another cellblock on some disturbance that needed his attention . silas : and you think sonny ordered the hit ? ava : yeah , i do . julian has a different theory , but either way i 'm obviously not safe in here . silas : ava , you have to report this . ava : oh , because that would help ? you know how prison guards are . okay , well , i know how prison guards are . they look out for each other . if word got around that i was making noise , i 'd have the whole staff gunning for me . silas : okay , well , then we 'll get you transferred to another facility . ava : i 'd be dead before the order went through . silas : we 're all just supposed to sit around ? you have to do something , ava . ava : oh , believe me . i am . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm the first to admit i want ava dead . but just because eckert has risen to the top of the list does n't mean that ava has fallen off the list . julian : is that supposed to be comforting ? sonny : how am i supposed to put a hit on ava when they practically got us glued to each other in here ? julian : [ chuckles ] there are opportunities . you know , you could have a guard in your back pocket . sonny : okay , then , johnny 's people would n't have harassed us . make no mistake . ava 's gon na pay for what she did to connie and my family , but what happened to her last night ? not on me . julian : i did n't think so . i think it was bill eckert . [ scene_break ] helena : good help is hard to find these days . do n't you think ? thankfully , i have the right instrument with which to carry out your plans . fluke : yeah , yeah , yeah , i know . your little soldier boy . i 'm not impressed . he was supposed to kill sam morgan . she 's as beautiful as ever and , worse , she 's alive . he 's a flop , helena . if it were me , i 'd slit his throat .

[ scene_break ] sonny : what 'd ava do to piss eckert off ? julian : same thing i did . he gave her an order , and she did n't comply . sonny : must have been a big order . ava : our boss ... he wants me to kill michael corinthos . julian : he wanted her to eliminate one of his enemies . like me , she did n't follow through . also like me , she 's now on eckert 's hit list . sonny : well , do n't worry about eckert getting his hands on ava , 'cause she 's mine . julian : here 's the thing , sonny . sonny : mm - hmm . julian : you 're not touching my sister . and you 'd better hope that bill eckert does n't , either . sonny : why 's that ? julian : we need her alive . she 's our ticket out of here . [ scene_break ] silas : you 're in danger , ava . ava : i have it under control , silas . silas : hey , how are you gon na defend yourself when you got the guards against you ? ava : please just focus on avery , okay ? worry about her . put me out of your mind . silas : it 's not possible . ava : well , if only i 'd known that all it would take was a prison sentence to get back in your good graces . silas : and a premature delivery and being marked for death . ava : and having my baby kidnapped . silas : right . my bad . how did i forget that one ? ava : [ laughing ] i do n't know . silas : i ca n't just let it go . ava : you have to . silas : well , then you tell me how you 're going to get out of this . ava : silas -- silas : look . and do n't feed me some line about it 's better that i do n't know . ava : it is . everything is gon na be fine . silas : as long as you 're in here , you got a target on your back . ava : but ... i wo n't be in here . silas : you 're breaking out ? !

dante : i ca n't . it -- it does n't work that way . west brought that case with him from manhattan . it 's his case . and , plus , i 've been so swamped looking for carly that i have n't really been paying close attention to what he 's doing . and -- and not to mention it would be poor form for me to interfere . i 'm sorry . sam : it 's okay . i 'm sorry . i just ... i had to give it a try . dante : i - i wish i could 've given you the answer you wanted . sam : it 's okay . it 's okay . i 'll figure it out . i - i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to make your crappy day worse . dante : no . sam : i apologize . dante : [ chuckles dryly ] it 's okay . my crappy day is in no way , shape , or form your fault , so ... sam : come on . i 'm sure you 're dying to get home to lulu . dante : [ chuckles ] actually , i 'm not really dying to get home . sam : really ? why not ? dante : because lulu 's not there . she left me . nathan : i 'm -- i 'm really glad i ran into you . you know , if i 'd made this arrest in manhattan , probably be having a beer with a bunch of guys . lulu : [ chuckles ] instead , you had to ask someone that you 've met once to help you out . nathan : hey , i 'm not complaining . lulu : what about your partner ? why is n't dante here ? nathan : oh , he 's , uh -- he 's wrapped up in your cousin 's case . it took forever to get the d.a . to issue a warrant . by the time he did , the suspect had disappeared . [ chuckles ] i thought his head was gon na explode . [ chuckles ] lulu : okay , besides his temper , how do you like working with dante ? nathan : he 's a good cop . and he 's a yankees fan , so , i mean , he must be decent . lulu : yeah , he 's decent . nathan : well , of course you 'd think so . well , he saved your life . lulu : right . that 's not the only reason i said that . nathan : so , what 's the other ? lulu : dante ... he 's my husband . duke : you think i 'm working for sonny corinthos ? ah , now , whatever gave you that absurd idea ? anna : julian jerome . he came to see me ... [ sighs ] ... sporting some very impressive bruises , i have to add . and he felt the need to tell me that you had beat him up , and you were working for sonny . duke : and you listened to him ? [ chuckles ] consider the source , anna . anna : well , what do you think ? obviously , i suspected he was lying . but then i remembered seeing you on the pier with sonny , and you were a bit off . and then i caught you in that whole lie about the job interview with nikolas . you said you were so ashamed , because you 'd been unable to secure a job , which was another lie , and i bought it . you played me for a fool ... duke : no . anna : ... just the same way that jerome played you for a fool when you thought you were working for derek wells . i mean , is that how this whole thing is gon na go down -- you 're gon na play me the same way that jerome plays you ? duke : all right ! ! damn it ! i am working for sonny corinthos . morgan : dad ... dad , please do n't go off on me . i want to explain what -- sonny : how do you explain what you did to your own father ? you 're still working for the jeromes . you shoot max . he took care of you when you were a kid . he was like your uncle . and what do you do ? you shoot him ? ! morgan : i did n't mean to , dad . that was an accident . sonny : you had no business picking up a gun ! you almost killed max ! after that , i thought it was over with the jeromes . and i saw you at the hospital . you told me it was done . you said , you know , `` i 'm done ! i 'm sorry ! i 'm free of them ! `` morgan : and i was , but -- sonny : no , no , listen ! you told me when you came back to me that it was done , right ? that we were gon na start over in the whole thing ? and i - i believed you . i wanted to trust you . but i could n't . and it made me sick that i had to test your loyalty -- my own son . morgan : dad , listen to me , please . i can explain -- sonny : you planted a - a bug in my office ! you almost killed max , and you continue to work for the jeromes ! you ratted out duke to him . yes , i gave you the information . but you risked his life . morgan : i need you to listen to me , because there 's more to it . sonny : you 're just gon na let people die ? why -- because you hate me ? because you 're angry with me ? 'cause i do n't love you enough ? ! to hell with you ! morgan : i did it because i had no choice , dad ! ava : what i did to silas ? you know how i feel about him . what makes you think i did anything to silas ? julian : oh , god . you are -- you are good . ava : what are you talking about ? julian : well -- ava : spit it out , julian ! julian : [ sighs ] i , uh , ran into sam at the police station , and they arrested your ex for attempted murder of his wife . ava : , my god . they arrested him ? julian : apparently , they had enough evidence . ava : what kind of evidence ? julian : well , according to sam , you performed sleight - of - hand and waved your magic wand , and then voilà . after all these years , suddenly , there was enough proof to put silas behind bars . so , what did you do , ava , huh ? did you , uh -- did you frame him ? you pay somebody off ? ava : wait . sam fed you all this information , and you believed her ? julian : she is my daughter . ava : [ laughing ] i 'm so sorry , but , really , your daughter ? you 've known her for , what , all of a few months , and , suddenly , she 's the paragon of truth ? why is that -- because you 're so close , because you 're the perfect father / daughter ? julian : [ grunts ] ava : i 'm surprised sam even acknowledged your existence long enough to accuse me of doing something to have silas arrested . julian : well , that is -- [ chuckles ] that is classic ava -- a counterattack when threatened . ava : all i 'm saying is that you have no reason to trust sam . julian : well , i find her more believable than you at the moment . silas started seeing sam instead of falling prey to you , again . so now you 're getting back at him . ava : i 'm not gon na dignify that with a response . julian : ava , come on . admit it -- 20 years ago , you tried to kill silas ' wife , and now you 're trying to frame him for it because he did n't come back to you . am i warm ? sam : aw , man . i 'm sorry . it sounds like the two of you are going through a really rough time . and my mom told me she felt so bad she was n't able to win custody for you and lulu . dante : your mom , she did every -- everything she could . sam : dante , i know what it 's like to lose a baby . and jason and i were apart . and losing -- losing the baby , it -- it makes reconciliation almost impossible . dante : i remember that . it was , uh -- it was pretty bad . sam : like this is now for you . dante : i do n't know if your mom told you , but when lulu lied on the stand ... then i had to get up and testify . sam : and you admitted that lulu lied . dante : right . and lulu thinks that if i backed her up , then we 'd have been able to keep connie , and ... maybe she 's right . sam : i do n't know . i do n't know . my mom says there was a lot more to the case . dante : uh , there was ! there was . i mean , we were in a terrible position from the beginning . connie was not our biological child . but lulu needs someone to blame , and i guess -- i guess that 's me . nathan : so , not only are you married , but you 're my partner 's wife . lulu : i sure am . nathan : that 's funny . you did n't mention that when we talked about dante at carly 's . lulu : i guess he did n't mention me , either . nathan : oh , he mentioned his wife , you know . he said you were a yankees fan . lulu : a convert . nathan : [ chuckles ] lulu : dante made me a true believer . nathan : mm . but that 's all he said about you -- not even your name . any reason you two are so tight - lipped about each other ? lulu : well , maybe it 's because we 're not in the best place right now . nathan : what -- he step out on you ? lulu : what ? no . but this is the first thing you think of ? nathan : no , i -- no . i 'm sorry . lulu : [ chuckles ] nathan : it 's just -- it 's this other case . the husband was having an affair , and i guess that 's just , uh , where my head goes . lulu : dante has never cheated on me . nathan : well ... can i ask what did happen ? lulu : i blamed him for something that was n't his fault . molly : you went to anna devane and told her that tj was at the warehouse ? rafe , tj could 've been arrested ! and , besides , julian jerome was at the warehouse . he is a killer ! if he ever found out that the police were questioning tj , mr. jerome could come after him to keep him quiet . sean was actually taking tj out of town that day so he 'd be safe ! rafe : yeah , but none of that happened , did it , molly ? tj 's not arrested , and no one 's trying to kill him . tj : yeah , no thanks to you ! the only reason you went to the cops is for something bad to happen to me . rafe : well , you 're the one who got involved in a mob war in the first place , okay ? you know , maybe i did this out of civic responsibility . tj : oh . yeah , right . come on , rafe . you just wanted me out of the picture . why -- so you could get with molly ? is that it ? molly : seriously , rafe ? is that why you did it ? rafe : yeah . yeah , molly . i did it because i wanted to be with you . duke : [ sighs ] anna : why are you working for sonny ? duke : why do you think , anna ? to bring down julian jerome . anna : no , no , no . we discussed this . you said you 'd stay away from him . duke : and i did ! but when you told me that julian was still alive and that i , in my ignorance , was working for him , i wanted to tear him apart , limb by limb ! but why did n't i ? because you begged me not to . anna : oh , god . and then you showed such restraint . you go straight to sonny . duke : no , i did not go to sonny ! sonny came to me . he came to me , and he asked for my help to bring down the jeromes . anna : you should 've turned him down ! duke : i did turn him down ! but then i overheard julian say to sonny that he would go after any cop that pursued him , including you . and i was n't gon na let that happen , so i accepted sonny 's offer . i did it to protect you , anna . i did it to protect us . can you please understand that ? sonny : what do you mean , you had no choice but to betray me again ? did jerome -- he put a gun to your head ? morgan : no . no , he did n't . but he made threats . sonny : oh , come on . i would 've protected you . morgan : he was n't threatening me , dad ! that 's what you do n't get ! he was threatening the family -- mom and michael ! sonny : what do you mean , mom and michael ? what -- he -- morgan : i - i - i mean he said he 'd do anything he had to do , and that i 'd walk around for the rest of my life knowing someone innocent died because of me ! sonny : and then he forced you to spy on me ? is that what happened ? morgan : dad , i do n't want to come back here and lie to you . i do n't want to lie to you . i had to lie to you to keep them safe , okay ? i know i 've come back 100 times before , but this time 's different ! julian threatened our family ! he threatened me . i could n't walk away , dad . please believe me . tj : you know what ? that 's really messed up . trying to get me arrested or killed just because you 're jealous ? molly : rafe , we talked about this . i told you i just wanted to be friends , and i thought that was okay with you . you said it was . rafe : yeah , well , maybe it was n't . but it does n't even matter now , molly , okay ? i 'm really sorry . honestly , i am . i felt bad the second i did it . okay , but i - i -- what was i supposed to do ? i ca n't take it back . tj : you must be real disappointed that i 'm still here , huh , rafe ? rafe : no , i 'm not ! honestly , i 'm glad nothing happened to you , tj look , i made a mistake , molly . molly : [ sighs ] rafe : can we forget this ever happened ? can we just be friends again ? molly : no ! not after this ! look , i like you , rafe . i always have . but you obviously ca n't accept the fact that i 'm back with tj . rafe : but i 'm still the same person i was before . molly : no , i really do n't think you are . what you did ... tj could 've been arrested or worse because of you . do n't you see how bad that is ? anna : oh , what i understand is that you 're working for a man that we , the police , consider to be the don here in port charles . and when we -- when we first got together , you know , we talked about that , when i found you with the counterfeit money . duke : oh , courtesy of tracy quartermaine . anna , that was a foolish prank . anna : well , be that as it may , we discussed that if we were gon na have a relationship , there was one deal - breaker , and that was you could n't be on the other side of the law . you gave me your word ! duke : that was before i found out that julian jerome was alive . oh , my god ! i had to do something . anna : when you resigned from working with julian , w - were you already with sonny ? duke : yes . anna : even after i 'd told you that if you love me , you needed to stay out of their war and let the police handle it ? duke : what have the police done about julian jerome , anna ? nothing . ava : what 's the goal here , jules ? i confess to you that i did something to set silas up , and then you run and you spill to your precious daughter ? then you can be sam 's big hero , huh ? and then what ? sunday dinners with sam and the -- the little grandbaby ? outings to the zoo , the proud grandfather showing off his progeny . well , guess what ? i 'm not gon na give you the currency you need to buy your way into your newfound family . julian : [ sighs ] ava : i 'm not admitting to anything . so if you want an in with sam , you 're gon na have to get it on your own , 'cause you ai n't getting it from me . am i making myself clear ? julian : yes . you know what else is clear ? that you 're not denying you set up silas . dante : i just miss lulu , you know ? [ chuckles sadly ] i think about her 100 times a day , and then i realize she 's not there to go home to . sam : come on , dante . losing a child is probably the hardest thing a couple could -- could go through . the pain is so huge , and you just wind up hurting each other when you need each other the most . hang in there . lulu 's gon na come around . you 'll see . dante : i have to , right ? 'cause i do n't want to lose her , too . sam : yeah . dante : anyway , uh ... sam : yeah . um ... yeah , so , i was , uh -- i was waiting for my mom . i was hoping that she was gon na be able to come down here and get silas out , but she 's stuck in court . dante : well , you know , you 're not gon na spring him tonight anyway , 'cause all the judges have gone home . sam : i was afraid of that . okay . i guess i 'll go to kelly 's and tell rafe about his uncle . hey , why do n't you come to kelly 's with me ? i 'll get you a blt , on me . dante : [ chuckles ] sam : come on . dante : you know , that sounds , uh , really nice , but i - i - i - i got a lot of work to do . sam : okay . maybe next time . dante : yeah . sam : hang in there . dante : mm - hmm . thanks . sam : she 'll come back . dante : [ sighs ] lulu : dante 's truth exposed my lie . when the judge ruled against us and we lost our little girl , i held dante responsible because ... i needed someone to blame . and he was there . but we did n't lose our baby because dante did n't lie for me . we lost her because , like dante said , she was never ours to keep . nathan : why do n't you go tell dante this , you know ? tell him you want to go home with him . sonny : so , jerome was playing games with your -- with your head ? is that what 's going on -- using the love you have for your family as leverage ? morgan : that 's the only reason i lied to you , dad . i swear , okay ? after we had the talk at the hospital , i knew i should n't be messing with julian . but the guy would n't just let me walk away . sonny : well , i did n't consider that , because you -- you went against me , took his side so many times , i did n't know that he would -- he would force you . morgan : yeah , and -- and you were right from the beginning . i should 've never messed with the guy . i put the whole family on the chopping block . [ sighs ] dad , i was -- i was -- i was scared . i thought -- i thought julian had to do with mom 's disappearance . sonny : does n't seem like his style . morgan : no ! i mean , he had no reason , because , i - i - i - i mean , i did everything the guy wanted ! sonny : like spying on me . morgan : i screwed up . i made a mess of things . i - i put a lot of people 's -- lot of people 's lives in jeopardy . and i do n't know -- i do n't know what to do . i do n't know how to fix this . sonny : you 're not gon na fix it , 'cause i 'm gon na do it . morgan : how ? sonny : first thing 's first . julian 's history . you 're done with him . morgan : yeah . no . absolutely . i 'm done . yeah . sonny : you 're done with ava , too . lulu : i want to go home to dante . i do . it 's something that 's stopping me . i - i do n't even know what . nathan : maybe staying there with dante in that house reminds you of everything you 've lost . lulu : i saw dante yesterday at the diner . and i realized how much i miss him . he asked me when i was gon na come home , and ... [ chuckles ] ... i wanted to say , `` now , right now . `` [ chuckles ] then i just started thinking about being home ... without connie . and then i feel like i ca n't breathe . after we lost connie , being there just made me remember over and over , every minute . i kept thinking about what a failure i am , what a miserable failure i am , that i ca n't have a child . [ voice breaking ] see , that 's what 's really awful ... is that i blamed dante for us losing connie . but the truth is , it 's my fault that we ca n't have kids . nathan : it 's nobody 's fault if a -- if a couple ca n't conceive . it 's just biology . lulu : no -- that 's what everyone says , except i am the one who ca n't carry a baby to term . if dante was with any other woman , he could have tons of kids . [ chuckles ] nathan : exactly . he must want to have that family with you and only you . i do n't know if you guys have thought about adoption or -- but there are so many kids out there who need -- lulu : you think that i have n't thought about this ? i 've thought about this . adoption is not an option for us , again , because of me -- because i keep screwing up . and i do n't care what dante says , okay ? i failed him . [ voice breaking ] i ca n't make him a father . i ca n't give him a family . and the only way to make it all stop was to just walk away . i do n't know why i 'm telling you all of this . nathan : [ chuckles quietly ] you 're just -- you 're grieving , love . it 's -- you 're just doing what you need to do . lulu : you sound like you have experience with this . nathan : yeah . i do . lulu : [ sniffles ] [ crying ] what if i can never go home ? [ sniffles ] what if i just always remember connie and -- and always remember what a failure i am with dante ? i love him so much , and i hate being away from him , but what if this feeling ... what if it never goes away ? what if i - i ca n't be with dante anymore , either ? nathan : come here . it 's fine . it 's fine . lulu : [ crying ] anna : my department is doing everything it can to protect port charles from the jeromes . do n't ever say that ! duke : anna , the pcpd has done precisely nothing . it 's not your fault . i 'm not blaming you . it 's the nature of julian 's business . he grew up in a crime family . he 's just like his father . he knows the ins and the outs of the laws , and he knows how to evade prosecution and capture . you 've got your hands full . i can devote all my energy into protecting us and bringing julian down . anna : so , you say you 're protecting us ? you lied to me . to go against me so blatantly ... [ sniffles ] it 's not like you . and i do n't -- i do n't know that julian has made a move to hurt us this time . has he ? i mean , not that i know of ! what has happened ? what is going on ? duke : anna , so much has happened . so much has happened . first of all , julian dupes me into believing that he 's derek wells . and before that , faison -- he 's over here , trying to seduce you while i 'm held captive in switzerland , and i 'm powerless . i ca n't help you . so , therefore , i am no one ! but you helped me . you rescued me . and then , recently , faison captures me again , and again , i 'm helpless . and you come running to the rescue . well , i 'm through being rescued by you , anna . i do n't want to be rescued by you , and i do n't want to be held captive by men like faison . and i do n't want to be duped by people , people like the jeromes ! i 'm done with that ! i want to protect the people that i love . i want to protect myself . i want to have my power back . i want to be in control . i want to be the man that i was before ! that 's what i want . i want to be that man ! anna : [ crying ] oh ... i love you as you are ! i love you ! when i wake up , i feel so blessed , so blessed to be with you , and safe . that 's all i need from you . i do n't need you to fight julian ! duke : anna ... ... i need it . god help me , but ... i need it . anna : all right . i understand . but i ca n't condone it . you have to stop working for sonny ! morgan : wait , w - w - wait . w - what ava and i have is -- sonny : no more lies . morgan , you think i 'm stupid ? i know you and ava have -- you know , you still have a - a thing going . that break - up act was for my benefit , to convince me that you cut ties with that family . morgan : yes . yes , it was . that what -- but -- but my relationship with ava was never about business . that 's never what that was about . sonny : maybe not , but she 's still in league with her brother . one does n't do anything without the other one knowing . she is against us , and she 's gon na use you to get to me . morgan : dad , no . ava 's not like that . no ! what we have is real , i swear , okay ? ! she -- you -- you -- like , she -- she 's different when we 're alone ! she 's not as guarded ! you do n't know her like i know her . sonny : what i know ... is that she 's in partnership with julian ! morgan : but , dad , the -- our relationship has nothing to -- sonny : i 'm sorry . you want to keep everybody you love safe ? you got to give her up . in order for us to be a family again , you got to let ava go . julian : all right . [ sighs ] you made your point about silas and about morgan . can you please put the gun down now ? i have n't gone after morgan 's loved ones . you do n't need to come after me . ava : not right now , yes . but i mean it . if you hurt morgan in any way , you will answer to me . julian : message ... received . so ... where is the boy that you 're so ardently defending -- in hiding , so sonny ca n't find him ? ava : no . just because he 's not as bloodthirsty as you are does n't mean he 's a coward . in fact , he -- he went to see sonny . julian : oh , is he brave or stupid ? i mean , was he armed ? ava : he would n't take the gun . julian : oh . stupid , then . and so are you for letting him go . ava : insulting me already ? you rely want to push me , do n't you ? julian : oh , come on , now . it 's the truth , little sister . i mean , you and i both know there are only two possible endings to a meeting between morgan and sonny . the first one is he kills his son for betraying him . the second one is that sonny takes him back and swears to defend him against us . mm , both scenarios ... spell the end for you and morgan . tj : look , molly , i 'm sorry about what happened with rafe . molly : i just never would 've thought that he could do something like that . tj : look , it 's over , all right ? i 'm fine , and now we know how the commissioner found out i was at that warehouse . molly : but do n't you think what rafe did is way over the top ? tj : yeah , but he paid a high price . i mean , i think now he gets it . and he knows now he lost your friendship . molly : i just ca n't believe he did that to try to be with me . tj : i can . i mean , he could n't help it he fell for you . neither could i . sam : hey , molly . where 's rafe ? molly : he took off . sam : what 's going on ? molly : [ sighs ] was his uncle really arrested for attempted murder ? sam : uh , yes . silas has to spend the next two days in jail because of an overzealous cop who has ax to grind . nathan : look , i know a thing or two about losing someone . and you do n't -- you 're not gon na believe me now , but it gets better . lulu : [ sniffles ] nathan : i promise . it will . lulu : [ crying ] anna : [ sighs ] i just want you to be the man you are , the good man that i know and love . please ! there has to be another way that you can feel in control that does n't involve going out there and working for sonny ! duke : anna ... i love you very much . but i 'm gon na continue working with sonny ... anna : no . duke : ... until julian jerome is no longer a threat to you or to anyone else that i love . julian : [ sighs ] i mean , i ca n't believe you let the kid go see sonny . i mean , did n't you realize you could risk losing him ? ava : i told you sonny will not kill morgan ! julian : fine . then sonny will force morgan to end things with you . ava : no . morgan would never let that happen . he would turn his back on his father and everyone else before he would break it off with me . morgan : dad , please , listen to me . can -- can you just trust me enough to know that i 'm not gon na let her use me , and at the first sign of anything i - i - i 'll let her go ? i 'll cut her -- sonny : i do n't want to argue about this anymore . you need to man up . cut her loose . you want to come back to me ? do it without ava . morgan : are you making me choose ? sonny : you came to me , son . i think you made your choice . [ scene_break ] ava : morgan will come back to me . he would never let his father tell him that he ca n't see me anymore . he would turn his back on his father . he would come and work for us before he would ever break it off . julian : is that right ?

madeline : oh , how sweet . you came to say goodbye . ava : goodbye ? now , why would i say that when i 'm going with you ? madeline : [ chuckling ] ava , i never thought i 'd say this to you , but ... thank you . i thought i 'd lost my sense of humor in this hellhole , but you saying you 're going with me -- that 's funny . ava : fortunately for both of us , i 'm not joking . madeline : well , you have to be . i 'm being transported to port charles for my trial . ava : yeah . and when you get into that van , i 'm gon na be sitting right next to you . we can share trial strategies or makeup tips . madeline : [ sighs ] ava , i think this place is starting to get to you . you might need to see a doctor . ava : oh , no . i can assure you , madeline , i 'm healthy as a horse . madeline : i 'm not talking about a physical doctor . i 'm talking about a psychiatrist . carly : jake was just here . we were waiting for you together . kevin : maybe he , uh , went to the men 's room or one of the vending machines . carly : i do n't think so . i told him i was going to look for you . kevin : how long ago was this ? carly : just now . just -- just -- i just got back , and he was n't here . i have no idea where he could be . jason : who was william eckert ? helena : oh , no one you need worry about . your only concern should be me . jason : what makes you more important than my other concerns ? helena : well , you seem to have forgotten how this dynamic works . i do n't answer questions . i ask them . jason : then ask away . helena : why are samantha morgan and patrick drake ... still alive ? patrick : okay , jake doe . let 's see what you got going on in this head of yours . sam : excuse me , doctor . patrick : well , hello , miss . sam : hi . patrick : can i help you ? sam : i hope so ... patrick : really ? sam : ... because i am in desperate need of medical attention . patrick : well , you 've come to the right place . sam : oh . wow . i should probably get sick more often . patrick : yeah . anything i can do to help ? sam : um , uh , it 's funny that you ask . patrick : really ? sam : yeah . patrick : ulterior motive coming to visit me ? not that i 'm complaining . sam : do n't say that , 'cause it sounds like you are . patrick : no . what is there to complain about ? after last night ? your company was spectacular . sam : hmm . thank you . patrick : yeah . dinner was pretty good , too . sam : hmm ? what ? are you talking about the metro court or my risotto ? patrick : nothing compares to your risotto . eating in with you and everything that comes after -- no comparison . sam : that 's a good answer . patrick : speaking of our first amazing night together , did you find your missing figurine ? brad : honey ... i 'm home . lucas : honey ? how 's my favorite lab manager ? brad : oh . mmm . better now . finding my hot doctor boyfriend waiting for me at home -- now , that 's a nice surprise . lucas : well , i got a better one for you . how would you like to go to a party tonight ? dante : now you know what i 'm doing here , breaking in and destroying things , why do n't you tell me what you 're doing here ? are n't you supposed to be getting ready for the big party on the boat ? fluke : yes , i should be . should n't you be doing the same thing instead of avoiding my questions ? dante : i 'm not avoiding your questions . i 'll answer your questions . no , i 'm not a criminal . i 'm a cop . fluke : a cop with a warrant ? dante : not at the moment . but now you 're here , maybe i do n't need one . fluke : now , what makes you think you do n't need a warrant , officer ? dante : because , dad ... you 're gon na help me with my investigation by unlocking this door and letting me into the basement . dante : are you gon na let me into the basement ? fluke : i do n't think that 's a good idea . dante : why not ? fluke : technically , neither one of us should be here . the place has been condemned . it 's unfit for habitation . dante : well , that 's great , luke , 'cause i do n't want to move in . i just want to take a look around . fluke : i 'll tell you what 's down there , dante -- rotting supports . the whole house could fall in at any time . it 's very dangerous for you to go down there . dante : i think i 'll take my chances . so , if you do n't mind ... all right . fluke : i do n't get it ! why are you so excited about going into the basement ? ! what do you think is down there anyway ? ! julian : [ sighs ] sonny : we had a deal . you know , we give you the phone , and then you keep your mouth shut and you stay away from us . we kept our bargain . franco : here 's the problem . i used the phone to call my friend nina -- nina clay . julian : yeah , we 're familiar with who she is . franco : of course you are , because she drugged your sister and took her baby , who 's also your baby , which means you two are family now ? that 's got to be a really awkward - looking christmas card . sonny : ho , ho . get to the point . franco : the point is that nina is a loony bin . julian : where she belongs . franco : she 's a little off center , but she 's made herself a new best friend , who happens to be my homicidal lunatic of a mother . sonny : i 'm sure they get along like a house on fire . julian : yeah . with any luck , they 'll burn the place down and they 'll be the only two casualties . franco : that 's not ice . sonny : that 's kind of funny . go figure . franco : hmm . my mother hates me . julian : go figure . franco : and she would do anything to punish me , including hurting nina or worse , which is why i need to get out of here with the two of you -- so that i can get to nina before it 's too late . sonny : okay . so , you think that we should let you in on the plan ? is that what you 're saying ? franco : yeah . otherwise , i 'll sing like a canary , and i 'm pretty sure that would screw up whatever plans you have on the other side . julian : [ sighs ] sonny : [ sighs ] lucas : yeah , the party 's a fundraiser / celebration for the waterfront revitalization project , and i get to be one of the hosts since i 'm gon na be , you know , running the clinic . brad : look at you -- the young , hot , big - shot doctor , and i get to be your date . does this make me hot by association ? lucas : well , i do n't think you need to worry about that . you 're plenty hot all on your own . brad : so , uh , when does this party start , anyway ? lucas : in a little over an hour . brad : hmm . i guess , uh -- i guess we 'd better be quick . lucas : with what ? brad : with this . sam : nope , still no luck finding the phoenix . patrick : did you , um , ask your housekeeper ? sam : um , yeah , i did , actually , and she said that it was in the same spot the last time she cleaned . patrick : what about alexis or molly ? sam : i asked them both , and , um , no , they did n't see it . i even asked danny . patrick : yeah , but you know kids . if he thought he was gon na get in trouble for something , i do n't think he 'd admit it . sam : yeah , but i 'm a little bit smarter than him , 'cause i bribed him with some toys to find it for me , and still no go . patrick : that sucks . sam : yeah . patrick : i 'm sorry . i know you 're upset about losing the phoenix . sam : i did n't lose it . i know it sounds crazy , but someone broke in to the house and took it . helena : were my orders not clear ? jason : they were . helena : and what were they ? i asked you a question . answer it . jason : to kill sam and dr. drake . helena : and yet they live . jason : yeah , they do . helena : well , something must have gone wrong . what was it ? i assume that you made it into the apartment . jason : i did . helena : well , where were the targets ? jason : upstairs . helena : why did n't you kill them ? jason : someone stopped me . kevin : i tell you what -- when your friend shows up , have me paged and i 'll make sure i see him this afternoon . in the meantime , i should get back to rounds . carly : wait a second , kevin . before you go ... the last time you saw jake , you gave him a clean bill of health , and i know you 're the doctor , but we still have a lot of questions . i mean , in my nonprofessional opinion , jake is far from okay . kevin : wait . hold on . i seem to be missing a critical part of this conversation . clean bill of health ? what are you talking about ? carly : when you saw jake a couple days ago , you told him he had nothing to worry about . kevin : i do n't know what he told you , but i never met with jake . ava : thank you for your concern , madeline , but , unlike your daughter , i do n't need a shrink . i 'm accompanying you in the van because i 'm going to be testifying at your trial . madeline : now i know you 're insane . i 've spoken to my attorneys , and they assure me the prosecution has no intention of putting you on the stand . ava : is that all they said ? madeline : i do n't remember all the legal jargon . basically , it was , um ... `` having a cold - blooded killer testify will only hurt the prosecution 's case . `` ava : yes . well , that 's absolutely true . scott baldwin is not smart enough to put me on the stand . but i 'm still going to court . madeline ... i 'm not going to testify against you . i 'm gon na testify for you . carly : what are you talking about ? of course you saw jake -- a couple of days ago . kevin : carly , i 'm sorry . carly : okay , i get it . it 's the whole doctor - patient - confidentiality thing , right ? is that what 's going on here ? kevin : carly , i 'm not denying this appointment occurred to protect confidentiality . i 'm simply telling you it never happened . carly : maybe you have jake confused with another patient . kevin : i think i 'd remember a patient whose last name was doe . carly , i do n't know how to be any clearer about this . i 've never seen jake in any professional capacity . in fact , i 've never even met him . carly : i saw him go in to your office . kevin : maybe i was n't in . carly : no , jake said he had a session with you ! kevin : if he said that , then your friend was lying . helena : someone stopped you ? did one of the targets discover you ? jason : no . helena : well , then , who did ? jason : a young woman . i do n't know who she is . helena : and you did n't think to mention this to me during our phone conversation ? jason : i started to , but , uh ... she disappeared . she was n't real . helena : i see . so , this -- this hallucination -- did she say something to you ? jason : oh , yeah , she did . she told me i did n't want to take your orders , that i did n't want to kill anybody , and that she was my friend . helena : oh . and did this young woman happen to have brown hair , a dour face ? was she a talky little thing ? jason : yeah . how do i know her ? helena : well , this woman that you hallucinated , she 's no one of any importance -- not to you and not to anyone else . [ chuckles ] i still ca n't believe that you let her stop you . jason : oh , i did n't . helena : are you being deliberately misleading ? jason : lady , you might be able to control me , but i do n't have to make it easy for you . helena : enough . now ... once this hallucination disappeared , what happened ? jason : i continued my mission . i went upstairs , and i opened the bedroom door . helena : and what ? jason : i remembered something . sam : i do n't want to talk about the phoenix anymore . patrick : because you 're worried i 'll think you 're crazy for suspecting somebody broke in and stole your knickknack and nothing else ? sam : no , because talking about it 's not gon na bring it back , and i want to discuss happier things right now . patrick : right . okay . so , you said there was a medical emergency , so why do n't you come over here and tell the good dr. drake where it hurts ? sam : i ca n't believe you just said that . patrick : these are routine diagnostic questions . sam : okay . well , as much as i would like you to kiss my boo - boo , you did mention that i had an ulterior motive . patrick : fine . what else can i do for you ? sam : i want you -- patrick : that 's obvious . sam : i want you to come to a party with me tonight at the haunted star . patrick : tonight ? sam : yes . it is to celebrate the waterfront revitalization project . lucas invited us . patrick : good dr. jones ? how did he get an invite ? sam : michael . he actually hired him for the clinic . patrick : no way . sam : yeah . patrick : oh , that 's fantastic . that 's great for both of them . sam : no , i know . i think it 's really good for him . i think he 'll be really good at it , and i want to be there to support my brother , especially since our father is cooling his heels in prison at the moment . sonny : you know what , franco ? so what if you tell the guards what we 're gon na do ? you think they 're actually gon na believe what you say ? franco : i do n't know if they 're gon na believe me , but they 're definitely gon na keep an extra set of eyes on the two of you . sonny : boy , you 're not gon na be able to tell anyone if we strangle you to death and stick you in that cot , right , julian ? julian : i do n't know . what if they do cell checks ? sonny : well , we stick him in somebody else 's cot . franco : okay , let 's think this through long - term , because i feel like i could be a valuable asset to your plan . julian : no , he 's right . if the guards open fire , we can use him as a human shield . franco : or i could help you communicate with your friends on the other side because i have a phone . come on , please . i really -- i need to get to nina . sonny : a phone ? that 's what you 're offering ? julian : you do realize we could just take that from you , right ? sonny : or we could , like i said , strangle him to death , julian . julian : mm . look , as much as i hate the idea of someone else tagging along , especially this freak , we 're running out of time , sonny . sonny : we snap his neck -- it wo n't even take that long . julian : no , no , no . if somebody discovers that he 's missing or , god forbid , the guards find his body before we 're out ... franco : god forbid . julian : ... the whole place is gon na go on lockdown . we 're gon na be stuck here , and our families are gon na be sitting ducks . the worst part is there 's gon na be even more heat down on us . franco : you should listen to him , sonny . he 's a real thinker . julian : franco or no franco , we need to get out of here . franco : i vote franco . julian : i do n't need to remind you how ruthless our enemy can be , do i ? sonny : no , you do n't . julian : okay . so , then , we need to get out of here sooner rather than later , because , obviously , we both know what kind of damage he can do . fluke : come on , man ! tell me -- what 's going on ? ! what are you doing ? ! dante : this is official police business , luke . fluke : you have illegally entered a private residence without a warrant . now , whatever the hell you think you 're gon na find down there wo n't hold up in court , and i know it ! you go to a judge , you get a warrant , and i 'll gladly take you into the basement ! dante : i do n't have time ! i do n't have time for all of that . fluke : what 's the rush ? dante : i have a feeling there 's someone in this basement that might need my help . fluke : who , the rats ? the centipedes ? the spiders ? dante : no . no . my father - in - law . fluke : your father - in - law ? dante : yeah . fluke : have you gone insane ? have you popped your cork ? i 'm your father - in- law . dante : no . no . no . my father - in - law is luke spencer ... and you 're not him , are you , bill eckert ? fluke : i thought you came to the cemetery to honor my dear aunt ruby . that was just a cover . you were there to dig up my cousin bill 's grave . dante : i did n't dig up that grave . fluke : not by yourself , but i saw it . the grave is open . dante : yeah . it was like that when i found it that way . i know it was empty . fluke : somebody stole bill 's body ? dante : no , because bill eckert was never in there because he is you ! fluke : dante , can you hear yourself ? ! dante : and you have been posing as luke ever since ! fluke : i do n't know what you 're talking about ! i 'm the guy that faison stuck in miscavige , kept drugged , and stole my life ! dante : you staged your own rescue out of miscavige ! you took over luke 's life , and he 's been locked in this basement ever since ! and now you 're gon na open this damn door right now . helena : what exactly do you remember ? jason : i remember being in that bedroom . helena : oh , is that so ? well , do you recall anything specific ? jason : a canister . helena : well , what about it ? why was it important ? answer me . what do you recall ? jason : i remember there being two rings inside of it . i opened the canister , and i found one . helena : tell me , do you remember anything else ? carly : i know jake 's not lying . i 'm the one who made the appointment . kevin : okay . [ sighs ] do you happen to remember the exact date that this appointment supposedly happened ? carly : yes -- january 12th . i do n't know . i think it was 1 : 00 in the afternoon . kevin : okay . january 12th . there it is -- 1 : 00 p.m. , jake doe . carly : see ? i told you . kevin : but -- but according to my notes , i was n't here . carly : what are you talking about , you were n't here ? kevin : on january 12th , i was called away on an emergency . i never even made it back to the office that day . carly : oh , my god . this does n't make sense , all right ? i saw jake come in to your office . i waited for him to finish his session . are you telling me he came in here and he sat by himself for 45 minutes ? kevin : unless he met with somebody else . helena : did you recognize anything else ? jason : two figurines . helena : well , describe them . jason : i do n't know . they were animals of some sort . helena : well , why were they significant ? jason : i do n't know . i just picked one up . helena : you picked one up . you must have had a reason . what was it ? jason : it had some memory and image of sam giving me one . helena : you remember sam giving you a figurine ? jason : yeah . why would she do that ? helena : i 'm asking the questions . and what happened next ? jason : i do n't know . i just took the figurine , and i left . helena : and where is that figurine now ? jason : i must have lost it . brad : [ exhales sharply ] lucas : [ chuckles ] what did i tell you ? pretty hot . brad : thanks to you . oh . what did you just do to me ? man . i think my eyes are actually watering . where did you learn how to do that ? lucas : oh , i do n't know . we watch a lot of `` how to get away with murder . `` brad : yeah ? well , keep watching . mm . all right . i 'd better get in the shower if we 're gon na be in time for your big party . lucas : yeah . we ca n't be late . brad : [ sighs ] what 's this ? sonny : fine . you 're in . give me the phone . franco : really ? so , what 's the big plan ? how are we getting out of here ? julian : with ava . franco : i beg your pardon ? julian : she came up with a plan that involves madeline . ava : i just spoke to my lawyer , and she tells me that your lawyers are very happy about what i have to say . madeline : i 'm sure they 're shocked that you have anything at all to say on my behalf , and , quite frankly , ava , i do n't believe it . ava : i 'm gon na testify to the fact that your daughter , nina , forced you to go along with her plan that terrible night -- that you were acting out of fear for your own safety when you helped her kidnap my newborn baby girl , that nothing you did was done of your own free will . i know . it seems too good to be true , does n't it ? madeline : that 's because it is . we both know that 's not what happened . ava : we do . madeline : then why are you gon na say it ? what are you trying to pull ? ava : i 'm simply doing you a favor . madeline : out of the goodness of your heart ? ava : like you , madeline , i 'm a pragmatist . if i speak on your behalf today , then perhaps tomorrow , you 'll do something for me . what 's that saying ? one hand washes the other . madeline : yeah , but for that to work , both people have to have something to give . i have nothing . so , if you 're looking for a payoff , ava ... you 've got a rude awakening coming . my daughter still controls the purse strings . ava : yes -- your mentally and emotionally incapacitated daughter . somehow , i do n't think she 'll be able to hold on to that money for long . madeline : my family attorneys will see to that . ava : yes . your family attorneys , right ? i think it 's only a matter of time before they see they should switch to your side . madeline : i admire your optimism . ava : and i admire your cunning . i have no doubt that one day you 'll get your hands on that fortune again . and even if you do n't , i 'm counting on the fact that one day , in one way , shape , form , or fashion , you 'll return the favor . franco : okay . i understand that the three of us -- we all hate each other 's guts , and yet somehow we have made this unholy alliance because we really want to get out of here and protect the people that we love and care about . what i do not understand is why any plan would have to involve nina 's treacherous mother and/or ava , who lies . sonny : why does it seem to me that you have a problem with the plan ? franco : i have a problem with any plan that would include madeline or ava because i do n't like or trust either one of them . sonny : i do n't like them , either . madeline , you know , helped -- franco : ava killed the woman that you love . she tricked you into killing michael 's father . what -- all of a sudden , you can trust her because she 's your baby mama ? that does n't make any sense . sonny : i hate ava even more than i hate you . franco : that 's exactly my point . why are we getting involved with these two toxic women ? julian : i 'm sorry . did n't you just come to us , desperate to get in on our jailbreak ? franco : yeah , because i thought that you had a plan that might actually -- i do n't know -- work . julian : okay , look -- if you really want to get out of here as bad as you say you do , then you need to go along with our plan , because right now ... it 's our only option . sam : so , what do you say ? are you in , or are you out ? patrick : a night out with the most beautiful woman in town ? absolutely . sam : no risotto ? patrick : no risotto ? sam : sorry . patrick : fine . i 'll come to your stupid party . sam : [ laughs ] good . you 're gon na look good on my arm . patrick : not as good as you 'll look on mine . sam : well , i hope you do n't mind sharing me with my brother . patrick : not at all . he is the man of the hour . sam : he is , and i really feel like i have n't gotten to talk to him lately . the only time i see him is when he 's babysitting danny and i 'm , like , in and out . patrick : i did n't think about this before , but did you think about asking him if he knows where your missing phoenix is ? sam : hmm . lucas : oh , that ? yeah , i found it on the docks . i just decided to bring it home with me . why ? brad : well , what made you pick it up ? lucas : i do n't know . i thought it was cute and interesting and maybe even chinese . brad : well , no wonder you were drawn to it -- cute , interesting , chinese . totally your type these days . lucas : yeah , you can say that again . and i thought it was a cute little tchotchke . brad : oh , no , no . it is definitely a tchotchke . they sell tons of these to the tourists in the asian quarter . they 're supposed to bring good luck . lucas : oh . so , you know what it is ? 'cause i have n't been able to make heads or tails of it . brad : yeah , yeah . it 's a phoenix . it signifies beauty and peace . lucas : well , that 's definitely good luck . brad : yeah . the thing is , though , they 're usually not sold by themselves . typically , they 're paired with a dragon . a dragon symbolizes power and strength . put them together , and they represent the yin and the yang . stronger together than they are apart , kind of -- kind of like us . lucas : yeah . i knew there was a reason i liked it . brad : yeah . that 's nice . lucas : it 's too bad we do n't have the other half , though . you know , somewhere out there , there 's a dragon missing its phoenix . jason : why am i remembering sam ? helena : that 's not important . jason : like hell is is n't . you want me to take your orders , you want me to kill people , you tell me what the hell 's going on . helena : your head hurts , does n't it ? that 's because you 're fighting my control . i should n't have pushed you so hard with this mission . i knew i should n't have sent you to kill samantha morgan . i knew i was tempting fate . jason : why ? did i know her before the accident ? helena : you will forget this mission . you will forget that you were ever in samantha 's apartment . you will forget the ring and figurines . you will forget that i ever ordered you to kill samantha morgan . jason : i do n't want to forget . helena : you 're active . jason : i know i 'm active . you keep saying that . helena : i have a new job for you . now listen closely . carly : okay . so , if jake had a session and you were n't here , is it possible he met with another psychiatrist ? kevin : if he did , it 's not in my notes . carly : but it 's possible . kevin : look , even if i or someone from my office referred jake to another doctor , the session would n't have taken place in this office . carly : i do n't understand . i do n't understand . jake said he met with you and he spoke with you and that 's why he agreed to come back and talk with you again . kevin : and when you went to find me , he took off ? carly : it does n't make sense , okay ? and i would swear that jake was not lying to me because he was desperate for help , kevin . kevin : help with what ? carly : i told you that jake was having these memory issues , but what i did n't tell you is that he was really worried that he might have -- he might have done something bad , something possibly criminal . kevin : something he ca n't remember from before the accident ? carly : after . after . he was having these , like , memory flashes , or what he thought were memories , and he said he talked to you and that you assured him that he could n't have done this thing . kevin : what does he think he did ? carly : oh , god ! now that i know that he 's lying -- i mean , i ca n't keep believing him . i ca n't keep believing that he 's innocent . the only explanation is that he must have done this thing , that he -- i mean , jake must be guilty . it 's time to go . ava : finally . guard : okay , ladies . it 's time to go . ava : finally . i ca n't wait to see justice served . is n't that right , madeline ? madeline : i ca n't wait to get my freedom . guard : it 's a short drive into port charles . you two better behave yourselves . i do n't want any trouble . ava : i would n't dream of it . after you . julian : okay , break it up . ava and madeline are being taken to transport . sonny : let 's go . guard : hey , ladies , sorry to bust up your little sewing circle . it 's time for cell check . you two -- back to your cells . come on . come on . out . let 's go . guard : hey , whoa . whoa . where do you think you 're going , corinthos ? you 're not going anywhere . sonny : yeah , i think i am . julian : sonny , you all right ? brad : you 're right . we definitely need a dragon to go with it . lucas : yeah , and i will definitely get you one -- just not now , 'cause we only have a half an hour to get ready . brad : ooh . we better save time -- shower together . lucas : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . [ water running ] sam : well , it 's a long shot , but i guess i could ask lucas if he knows anything about the phoenix . patrick : the worst thing he can say is he does n't know . sam : there are a lot of things he could say , but i do know that i have to get going because i want to look presentable tonight . patrick : you look perfect to me right now . sam : i do ? patrick : yeah . sam : well , then , imagine how much better i 'm gon na look once i put some effort into it . patrick : fantastic . i 'll pick you up in a half - hour ? sam : uh , there 's just one little thing that i forgot to tell you . patrick : yes ? sam : i told lucas that we would take him and brad with us . patrick : really ? so , you just invited me to this party because you needed a chaperone ? sam : you 're not offended . patrick : i am very upset , and you are going to have to work very , very hard to make it up to me . sam : oh , yeah ? patrick : yes . sam : work hard at what , exactly ? patrick : i do n't know . i will have a list ready for you by the time i pick you up . sam : oh . that sounds really exciting . patrick : mm - hmm . sam : i think we 're gon na have a fun night . patrick : i think so , too . sam : bye . patrick : see ya . helena : do you understand your mission ? jason : why would you do this ? helena : oh . i give you a final chance to redeem yourself , and still you resist ? jason : why target all those people ? helena : what would you care ? no one in this town means anything to you . jason : there are people i care about -- elizabeth . helena : oh , elizabeth , whose gamine appeal will forever elude me . jason : carly . helena : carly ? jason : she 's been trying to help me . helena : well , then she 's done you no favors . fighting the conditioning will cause you needless suffering . jason : oh , like you care about my suffering . helena : ah . the headache is getting excruciating , is n't it ? it puts you in a foul mood . jason : no , that 's just being near you . helena : elizabeth webber was expedient . she facilitated your recovery . but carly ... carly is not a friend of yours . believe me . kevin : look , you do n't need to tell me what jake did . i 'm just sorry he put you in this position . carly : he did n't mean to do it . i know that . there 's just something going on with him . it 's like he 's not in control of his own actions . kevin : is there anything i can do ? carly : do you believe in instincts . no , really . i mean , i know you 're psychiatrist , but do you believe in the instinctual reaction that we have to people -- you know , whether we like them or trust them or the opposite -- we stay the hell away from them because we know they 're bad news ? do you believe that that 's real , or do you think that 's something we just fall back on after the fact ? kevin : uh , there are differing schools of thought on that . personally , i think instinct is real and that some people are just more attuned to it than others . carly : right . i trusted my instincts with jake . i really did . i think he 's a good guy . i know he 's a good guy . there 's something about him that 's just true , and i do n't know any other way to explain it . you know , he does n't make excuses . he does n't feel sorry for himself . he -- [ sighs ] but at the same time , he tells me over and over again that he does n't even know himself . he does n't know what he 's capable of . he does n't know what he 's done or why he 's done it . jake would want me to stop him . kevin : stop him how ? carly : i have to turn jake in to the police . dante : open the door . fluke : you are making such a big mistake . you wait till my little girl hears how you 've treated her old man . dante : if that 's the case and i make a mistake , i 'll apologize to you and her . in the meantime ... you open that damn door . fluke : happy to . dante : here . over here . fluke : [ sighs ] dante : come on . you can do me a favor , actually . cuff yourself to that railing right there . fluke : oh , come on ! dante : just do it ! fluke : this is so ridiculous . happy ? dante : put your hand in the air . fluke : there it is ! dante : hey , luke ! you down there ? ! fluke : told you . dante : we 'll see . hey , luke , you down there ? ! luke !

's office last night . she told us that she stabbed alcazar in the stomach before pushing him over the railing . well , the information about that third stab wound we had sealed to help identify the killer . and , oh , yeah , that -- that little `` patch , `` as you call it ? the forensics report came back , and guess what -- the blood matches alcazar 's dna . scott : nothing that 's going to tie that fabric to the murder , and this so- called evidence is too little too late . and if you do n't believe me , meet me in court . you 'll hear it from the horse 's mouth . [ scene_break ] sonny : you pulled a gun on a.j . to get a taped confession that 's no good to anybody ? you had to know it would n't be admissible in court . courtney : i thought at least it would make the police open the investigation , okay -- sonny : you could 've gotten -- you could 've gotten yourself killed or arrested . it would be you on that stand right now . courtney : yeah , but jason and brenda were just convicted for a crime they did n't commit . i had to do something . sonny : you should n't be involved in this in the first place . courtney : a.j . framed jason because of me , sonny . he hates that i left him , okay , and he wants to blame anyone besides himself . and since jason helped me through that whole stalker thing , he -- he blames jason for everything . sonny : a.j . hates jason , always has . this has nothing to do with you . courtney : i am the one who married a.j . , sonny . whatever damage he does is my responsibility . sonny : a.j .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i have a prepared statement and then i 'll take your questions . the man in the press that you have referred to as the `` text message killer `` has killed for the last time .

[ elizabeth gasps ] sam : it 's okay , it 's okay . it was just a dream -- you were having a bad dream . elizabeth : why are you here ? sam : to make peace . [ scene_break ] alexis : the satisfaction that i take in telling you that this serial killer can no longer threaten the lives of the citizens of port charles is tempered by the fact that this person who committed these heinous crimes was , in fact , an officer in training in this very police department -- cooper barrett . mr. barrett 's reign of terror was brought to an end by his final victim , georgie jones , who bravely tried to fight off her attacker . [ shutters click ] alexis : skin was taken from underneath ms. jones ' fingernails -- it was a d.n.a . match to barrett 's . those test results , which cooper barrett stole from this squad room , have been discovered with his body after he committed suicide by hanging . if you have any questions , i 'll take them now . [ scene_break ] reporter : as police cadet , barrett had relatively easy access , he had means . but look at the other victims -- the corinthos nanny and emily quartermaine , the attempts on georgie jones ' sister and carly jacks . what 's your theory about motive ? why did he do it ? maxie : he did n't do it . spinelli : are n't you supposed to be in the hospital or something ? maxie : listen to me , okay ? coop did n't kill my sister , he did n't kill emily , he did n't try and kill me , he absolutely did n't kill himself . he is not the text message killer and you are going to help me prove it . [ scene_break ] lulu : ugh . logan : let me get that . lulu : how can you be so nice to me after the way i treated you , assuming the worst ? logan : i 've given you reason to . lulu : yeah , but you did n't turn johnny into the police . i was wrong . [ logan sighs ] logan : lulu , i do n't like that guy , all right ? but you see something in him , something good -- maybe , you know , something he did n't even see in himself . and that 's the reason you gave me a second chance , so i got to deal with it . lulu : no , no , there is nothing to deal with . there is nothing going on with me and johnny like that . can you just do me a favor ? logan : name it . lulu : can we not talk about him ? logan : well , i think i can do a little better than that . now that you 're off work , i 'm going to take you out , show you some fun . [ scene_break ] monica : my husband 's will -- or rather , the one you forged . tracy : i did n't -- edward : no , you had luke do the dirty work . monica : which just makes you a lousy accomplice . edward : you see , no one actually believed all that poppycock that luke put in the will about the special bond that you and alan shared -- alan : actually , that part was true . edward : that made it necessary for him to donate everything to you out of some misguided sense of loyalty . monica : you know , even if alan had decided to stick it to us -- the whole family , as a parting shot -- he never would 've done it to emily . alan : but you got greedy . edward : but you got greedy . monica : emily was the hope of this family . she was everything good about us . if you had n't cheated her out of her inheritance -- tracy : oh , no , you do n't ! monica : if she had realized that we needed her as much if not more than nikolas -- tracy : you 're not going to blame me for emily 's death any more than you can blame me for this family turning into a eugene o'neill play . all we need is a little more drinking . monica : i 'm celebrating . tracy : huh , yeah , you are , and living in style . in fact , even if your career went up in smoke , you 'd still be living in style -- why ? because of the one true salvation of this family -- me . edward : oh , please ! tracy : so what if i did forge the will ? edward : aha ! monica : huh -- you admit it ! tracy : no , i 'm not admitting anything . i 'm just pointing out that your lifestyle never changed because i have been carrying this family ! [ tracy sighs ] tracy : how about a truce ? [ scene_break ] patrick : this is an autopsy . regina : ms. quinn -- she 's one of your patients . patrick : i did n't order this . robin : i did . regina : well , her results will be ready soon . robin : her cause of death did n't make sense , and i was hoping that this would provide us with some answers . patrick : sometimes there are none , robin . sometimes you just have to let go and move on . paramedic : it 's a bottleneck down in the e.r . , so they told us to come directly up here . she 's got some blunt head trauma from an explosion . blood pressure 's 144/88 , heart rate 's 130 . leyla : a bomb ? paramedic : no , high - school chemistry class . girl : i guess i can forget about that extra credit . patrick : can you tell me where it hurts ? girl : how many times has he used that line ? leyla : too many to count . ian : what 's your name , beautiful ? girl : huh -- oh , the competition . god , this place is a regular hotbed . [ girl groans ] patrick : okay , let 's go . it could be a cerebral edema or a bleed . ian : okay , i 'm going to need an e.t . tube and an ambu bag . we need to hyperventilate her . put her in reverse trendelenburg . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i 'm -- i 'm sure the doctors are most concerned about your posttraumatic well - being . maxie : okay . well , i 'm not going to sit around some hospital while people are spreading lies . spinelli : okay , wait . i mean , you were -- you were still dealing with the attempt on your own life when your sweet sister was brutally murdered . it was tragedy enough to have to see wise georgie 's lifeless body , but -- but now to find -- maxie : coop hanging by his neck in his room ? spinelli : and with duty - bound mac dispensing justice and your estranged mother gone , do n't you think it would be wise to seek the help of a professional to aid you in your grief ? maxie : i 'm not grieving . spinelli : the -- the massive data influx has overloaded your emotional power -- maxie : spinelli , do n't you dare tell me how to feel . i will not let myself grieve , not until i clear coop 's name . spinelli : it 's impossible for you to be objective . maxie : you 're right ! i am not objective because i knew coop like nobody else did . he showed me his heart . spinelli , he is not the text message killer ! spinelli : the alternative would be too painful to contemplate . maxie : okay , well , contemplate this . you 're going to help me find out who really killed my sister . and if you do n't , i 'm going to show you just how bad the bad blond one can be . huh . spinelli , you say you cared about my sister . here 's your chance to prove it . you owe her , because the person who killed georgie is still out there . [ scene_break ] lulu : you 're a lifesaver . daniel : no problem . i could use the extra shift after missing work the other night . logan : the night alexis davis was attacked , right ? daniel : so the guy who hung himself upstairs is the text message killer -- crazy , right ? lulu : yeah , creepy is more like it , but at least we know he wo n't be hurting anybody else . daniel : well , enjoy your night off . lulu : thank you . [ scene_break ] mac : a psychological profile of detective barrett is already emerging -- a loner who may have been involved in criminal activity -- something our own screening process missed . you can bet that will be looked into . reporter : how does it feel that your daughter 's killer wo n't be brought to justice ? mac : he 's facing a higher justice . mayor floyd : all right , ladies and gentlemen , no more questions . thank you very much for coming . good night . lucky : mac -- mac : what kind of question was that ? i mean , what did -- what did she expect me to say ? lucky : i 'll make sure it never happens again . mac : that i wish i would 've killed the son of a bitch myself ? yeah , i wish i had , lucky . i brought him into this department . lucky : mac , do n't do this to yourself . mac : he killed my daughter . lucky : it 's over . mac , it 's over . [ scene_break ] sam : i just wanted to apologize because i think that lucky and i should 've probably talked to you and -- and made it very clear about how far things have progressed with us as a couple -- i mean , that we 're actually together now . elizabeth : i 'm not following -- what are you apologizing for ? sam : come on , elizabeth -- the whole unpleasant scene when you walked in and found me baby - sitting . i think it could 've been avoided . i screwed up . i screwed up big - time and i am going to have to live with that for the rest of my life , but i care about lucky , more -- more than i ever realized or thought i would and -- and i care about those kids , i care about what 's best for them , and i think that it might be best for all of us to start working together . i 'm just -- i 'm asking you to maybe let go of the past , to maybe start thinking about letting me be a part of the kids ' lives . i just -- elizabeth : if you think i will ever let you be alone with my children again after what you did , you are out of your mind . [ scene_break ] monica : too late , tracy . you missed your chance at a peaceful resolution . tracy : okay , monica . but if anything happens to my husband , you 're going to have a lot more than a malpractice suit to worry about -- i will take everything you have and throw you out on the street . monica : well , not if you 're there first . tracy : do n't make idle threats . you will hear from my lawyer in the morning . i am going to the metro court to stay . monica : i do n't make idle threats .

[ scene_break ] reporter : are you satisfied that the pcpd got this right , that cooper barrett is your sister 's killer ? jason : no comment . reporter : is there any chance the cadet 's death was a mob hit and not a suicide ? mac : the man said no comment .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : why -- why -- why did you insist on coming here to wise georgie 's room ? maxie : you know , georgie did n't even want to play field hockey . she went out for the team as a cover so that she could see dillon . she ended up making varsity . the debate team -- now , that was georgie 's thing . i got to see her in action -- once . i do n't even remember what they were debating about but i remember the look on the kid 's face when georgie was done with him . he was stammering his words and bobbing his head like a cartoon , so i started calling her `` senator jones . `` i only went because mac made me and i was grounded . `` you 're going to show your sister some support , `` he said , and i did n't do enough of that . spinelli : it is most unsettling being here among her things . maxie : i want you to be upset . i want you to be mad as hell , spinelli . i want your guts to be churning . i want you to look around and see who your wise georgie really was . she was a -- a girl who took care of everyone , she remembered things that everyone else forgot . you could n't see that -- because you were too busy looking at her as your faithful friend like she was some cocker spaniel . and she loved you , spinelli -- i have no idea why . spinelli : neither do i ! and -- in -- in the private unsent emails that georgie was meaning to send to me , she professed -- she professed a love that existed in some parallel universe for someone much more worthy -- someone i could only hope to be . maxie : well , here 's your chance to start ! you are so smart , so smart that jason puts up with your geeky weirdness . you have to help me . you have to help me find out who took georgie away from us and everything she could 've been . spinelli : okay . okay , okay . okay , so -- `` leticia , carly , attempt -- emily , maxie -- attempt , `` um , uh -- `` georgie and alexis -- attempt . `` okay , so -- okay , so now we just have to find some -- a pattern , like some commonality , okay , so -- okay . maxie : they 're all -- all women . spinelli : right -- great , okay . well , okay , then -- then the method , that -- that was the same , so -- strangulation . what -- what do you remember ? maxie : just that it happened really fast and he definitely wanted me dead . spinelli : uh -- okay , so it 's someone that was , i guess , comfortable with killing and had some skill at it . maxie : you write like a chicken . i 'm going to redo this . [ maxie writes ] spinelli : you write like a girl , so give this -- maxie : ugh . spinelli : what -- look . maybe you should go to general hospital . you know , you seem a little overwrought . do you want to talk to somebody ? maxie : of course i 'm overwrought ! this person killed my sister ! i do n't want to -- i do n't want to talk anymore . i do n't want to talk to you , i do n't want to talk to anyone , okay ? so either write like a human being and help me out or get out of my face . spinelli : maxie , please just calm down , okay , all right ? i 'm -- the jackal is here , willing to help . okay ? um -- hey , look , after you were attacked , wise georgie urged me to hack into coop 's military records -- remember ? maxie : yeah , and you found out some woman was strangled near where he was stationed in iraq . i know all of that . spinelli : right , right , but the crabby commando was also stationed there . maxie : logan ? [ scene_break ] logan : you serve shoulder to shoulder with guys that wake up every morning ready to lay down their lives for their countries . the idea that one of them could do something like this -- coop and i served together but we were n't friends . i guess i really did n't know him . lulu : do we ever really know anyone ?

[ scene_break ] leyla : i know the other nurses were quite charmed by your false flattery . ian : hmm , not false . leyla : painfully predictable . it 's like i 'm staring at patrick 's clone . did you two have some kind of a score sheet in med school , keeping track of conquests ? a rating system -- yeah . well , you seem like a very competent surgeon , dr. devlin , and i look forward to working with you but other than that , i 'm afraid you 'd be wasting your time . i 'm really not the type of girl you 'd be interested in .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the killer may have just snapped not even intending to kill the first victim and -- and then some terrible beast inside was unleashed . [ scene_break ] [ blender shatters ] [ scene_break ] maxie : but at some point , it became a game with the text messages . this killer obviously enjoys taunting his victims .
