[ scene_break ] kate : olivia , it is extremely important that i talk to sonny . olivia : connie , he is here with his new wife . kate : that is exactly why i 'm here . olivia : just let it go . there is nothing that you need to tell him that is so important that it ca n't wait until after this event . kate : why is this any of your business , anyway ? olivia : just show a little sensitivity . that 's all i 'm saying . you were the one with michael corinthos at the warehouse that night . now carly holds you partially responsible , and that is her -- kate : you know what ? you should show a little sympathy . i was the one there , and carly is wrong . olivia : all i 'm saying is , you do n't show up at a benefit to honor her son and provoke a nasty argument between her ex - husband and his new wife . kate : sonny needs to hear what i have to say . his life could depend on it .

[ scene_break ] olivia : stop trying to save sonny , okay ? you need to let it go . kate : why are you here ? olivia : because i promised carly and jax that i would make sure that everything ran smoothly tonight . kate : mm - hmm . well , ever since you stomped back into my life in port charles , let 's see -- you 've managed to land a job with my business partner -- olivia : it was jax 's idea . kate : your new best friend is sonny 's ex . next thing i know , you 're going to be booking pedicures with claudia . olivia : connie , you always were a touch paranoid . kate : oh , honey , it 's only paranoid if someone is n't out to get you . olivia : connie , could you try to remember for a second that this night is not actually about you ? it 's about a mother and a father who are grieving for the loss of their child . kate : oh , are you going to be all sympathetic for a man who lost his son ? do n't do that . not when the father is sonny . olivia : do n't make this about dante . kate : no , actually , it 's not . it 's about me and sonny , so you can just stay out of it . now if you 'll excuse me , i 'm going to go talk to sonny . olivia : connie -- kate : why are you even in port charles ? olivia : because i do care about what happens to you . kate : really ? olivia : yeah . kate : is that what you tell yourself ? olivia : i like it here . kate : that is so interesting , because , you see , for years you have criticized me for wanting to leave bensonhurst , for wanting to do something , i do n't know , different with my life . you rubbed it in my face about how disloyal i was to the family and how proud you were to be a bensonhurst girl . hmm ? well , ever since you came to port charles , which -- why exactly did you come to port charles ? olivia : i came here to see you get married . kate : right , and who asked you to ? olivia : mm - hmm . kate : oh , it was sonny . olivia : mm - hmm . kate : the real reason you do everything . olivia : oh , my god . do you know any other songs ? connie , you got shot , okay ? i could n't turn around and walk out and leave you here . kate : okay , olivia . well , i 'm all healed , right ? my wound is gone . i 'm not going to marry sonny , so you can pat yourself on your back for the hand you played in that , and there 's no real reason for you to stick around in a town that has nothing to offer you but castoffs and the opportunity to do carly 's dirty work , okay ? so now , if you 'll excuse me . olivia : see , the fact that you ca n't face , connie , is that sonny does n't want to be saved . kate : this is not a philosophical conversation . sonny 's life is in danger . olivia : sonny does n't need your protecting , and i know this because i watched him murder andre karpov . kate : olivia , i really do not need your dramatics . olivia : this is not dramatics . i stood not 10 feet away , and i saw him put four bullets into that man and then spit on his body . okay , and i wish that you could have been there to see it . i wish you could have seen it with your own eyes , because that 's the kind of man that sonny is , and that 's the way that he lives his life . he does not need any protecting from you or from anybody else . kate : you know , i really do think that i am the reason you stayed in port charles . olivia : we 're right back to the beginning . connie is the center of the universe . kate : well , you just said it , right ? you said you were here for me . you were here to see and make sure that i did n't get close to sonny again and i did n't accidentally let your deep , dark secret slip . olivia : i did what i had to do to protect my child , and believe me , i 'm not ashamed of that . dante could have ended up just like michael . kate : you do n't have to worry . i am not here to tell sonny about dante , at least not tonight . now get out of my way . lulu : oh , my god , i 'm so sorry . [ scene_break ] sonny : kate , she went out of her way to let me know she was n't going to be here . carly : she lied . sonny : okay , i know you have to put your anger someplace , but i do n't think it 's right to blame kate for what happened to michael . carly : she took michael to the warehouse without my permission . now , maybe she 's not as guilty as the man who pulled the trigger , but she is partly responsible . sonny : are you upset because she 's involved with jax ? is that what this is about ? no , i 'm just asking . carly : i thought we were past this . i thought you knew what this night meant to me . claudia : why did kate show up here ? that 's -- sonny : how would i know ? maybe she wants to tell me something . [ scene_break ] tracy : brace yourself , daddy . anthony zacchara and ric lansing are about to wheel in . edward : well , why did n't you stop them ? tracy : oh , sorry , fresh out of bullets . edward : oh , come -- they are the scum of the earth , and so is sonny . you know , tracy , a night like this just makes me choke on the injustice that put my little great grandson in that gangster 's custody . claudia : what i have to tell you , it really ca n't wait . sonny : okay , whatever you have to say about anthony is not going to surprise me , so just say it . claudia : you have to understand something . sonny : what ? claudia : by telling you , i could be totally ruining my life . edward : let 's get out of here . [ scene_break ] nadine : you know , i think mr. quartermaine is such a sweet man . i was surprised , actually , because i 've heard so many stories about what an ogre he can be , which i think is just really a misunderstanding , which happens a lot with really rich people , i guess . not with you , obviously , because you 're one of them , and then my hair caught on fire , which would have been a disaster , leading to permanent disfigurement -- nikolas : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . that was rude . [ scene_break ] [ baby crying ] robin : you 're okay . babies cry , and babies fall asleep . mothers know that . [ scene_break ] patrick : assuming the o.r . team is still alive when i pull them out , decontaminate them , and get them to i.c.u . spinelli : it appears stone cold 's dire warnings were too late . jason : it looks like only the o.r . team are affected so far . spinelli : how may i be of assistance ? jason : okay , i want you to go set up in the lounge by the elevators . i want you to pull up the schematics of the hospital and find out where the air ducts from this o.r . connect . spinelli : okay . [ scene_break ] maxie : i can not believe you ran me off the road . johnny : oh , you 're trying to blame me for this accident now ? maxie : and to make matters worse , you bring me here . where are we , anyway ? johnny : this is a garage , maxie . maxie : wait a minute . is this the place you and lulu hid out ? who owns this place ? maxie : it 's abandoned . i do n't know , maybe it 'll be mine someday . stand up . maxie : do n't give me orders . johnny : stand up . come on . johnny : there you go . maxie : are you happy , now that you see i wo n't be suing you for reckless driving ? johnny : well , if you did , you would n't get much , anyway . maxie : why ca n't you just admit you were driving too fast ? johnny : okay , fine . i admit it . your turn . maxie : well , the road conditions were horrible , and -- i -- fine , i was driving too fast , and i probably trashed my car . do you want to explain to me why you were driving like a crazy person ? johnny : you first . maxie : okay , that 's easy . i 'm mad at spinelli . and i know i 'm right . i knew winnifred the weird should n't be trusted . she 's a geek and a crime of fashion and a fed . johnny : she works for the government ? maxie : the fbi . she got spinelli to trust her , and he almost had to spend his life in prison . you think that would have been a wake - up call , but no . i walk into the metro court and he 's sitting there , whispering secrets to her in that obscure language only they understand . johnny : so in a jealous fit , you got into your car and drove into a ditch . maxie : why would i be jealous ? [ johnny laughs ] maxie : i just do n't appreciate some lying bureaucrat poaching my friend and acting like she 's better for him than i am . johnny : where i come from , maxie , that 's called jealousy . maxie : do n't you dare try to blame me for what happened tonight , okay ? and i bet i can guess why you were driving like a lunatic . did lulu find out you lied to her ? [ scene_break ] o.r . doctor : respiration 's depressed . pulse is thready . get her on oxygen . go . patrick : matt . matt , come on . matt : love the suit . patrick : come on , i 'm getting you out of here . matt : no , get the others first . get the others first .

[ scene_break ] anthony : do n't you just love a good party ? especially when half the guests wish you were dead . ric : is that my cue to leave ? anthony : then you probably do n't get out much , do you , richie boy ? sonny : if you want ric and anthony gone , i 'll get them out of here right now . carly : no . here 's a better idea . taking money from people you hate and despise and doing something meaningful for children like michael . sonny : you sure ? carly : yeah . if i can deal with kate being here , i can certainly handle your brother and anthony zacchara . ric : carly , i was just suggesting to anthony that it might not be a good idea that we 're here . carly : brought your checkbook ? anthony : of course . i 'm always ready to make a donation for a worthy cause . carly : good . make sure it has lots of zeroes . [ anthony laughs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : i wish you would n't sneak up on us like that . lulu : um , kate asked me to come here . did i miss something ? kate : what took you so long , lulu ? lulu : i had to make a phone call . i thought you maybe came out here to meet me ? kate : no , i actually got dragged out here by my cousin to have another frustrating and pointless conversation . olivia : you know what , you 'll feel a lot better if you just go home and put your feet up . and you know -- lulu , why do n't you have the driver bring the car around so that -- kate : you know , the bottom line is , olivia , i have something extremely important to discuss with my former fiancé . if you do n't want to watch , you can leave . let 's go . [ scene_break ] o.r . doctor : get her right to isolation . sam : i want to help . there 's got to be something we can do . [ phone rings ] agent rayner : morgan , what do you have to report ? jason : three women have been brought out of the operating room so far , all unconscious . no one 's dead . agent rayner : not yet . jason : all are in critical condition . agent rayner : any idea if there 's any exposure beyond the immediate area ? jason : i have someone checking the hospital schematics right now to make sure the air ducts in the o.r . are isolated . hold on , they 're bringing someone else in . agent rayner : morgan , are you still there ? sam : hi , agent rayner , this is sam mccall here . the latest victim , her name is dr. monica quartermaine , and she 's actually the chief of staff here at general hospital . agent rayner : is she dead ? sam : i do n't think so . patrick : hey . how you doing ? you got to hang in there . [ scene_break ] robin : i 'm being ridiculous . you 're just sleeping , right ? robin : god . you 're so beautiful . i do n't deserve such a beautiful baby . [ scene_break ] anthony : well , all things considered , it 's a festive event . sonny : you know what 's funny ? i did n't realize that you two were invited . and if you were , i did n't think you 'd be stupid enough to show up . anthony : that 's nice talk from a son - in - law . my little girl and i had lunch today . a real heart - to - heart exchange of feelings . well , you must have already told your husband all about it . claudia : we do n't talk much . anthony : unless you 're screaming his name ? [ mocking ] oh , god , oh , sonny . ric : you know , it would n't hurt for you to develop a few boundaries . anthony : i 'm just saying , you know , sharing a meal with my daughter is a real eye - opener . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm telling you , i did everything in my power to get my cousin to leave , short of grabbing her by the hair and dragging her out of here . carly : thanks for trying . olivia : look , far be it from me to make excuses for anyone , but my cousin is not a mother . she does n't understand what it is to have a child who needs protecting . carly : it does n't mean i 'm not going to forgive her part in what happened to michael . olivia : i 'm just saying , this room is full of people who 've stolen , who 've murdered , god knows what else . just do n't focus all your anger on kate , okay ? carly : i 'm not going to let her ruin this night for me . [ scene_break ] patrick : ready ? one , two o.r . doctor : get him to i.c.u . [ scene_break ] maxie : so tell me , did lulu have a complete meltdown when she found out you were lying about that job ? johnny : it was probably our worst fight ever . and completely my fault . maxie : do n't be so hard on yourself . everyone knows lulu 's not the most reasonable person on the planet . johnny : i find it funny how you pretend not to stand lulu when in fact , the two of you are pretty tight . maxie : i can be close with lulu and still recognize her faults . you have to admit , she 's kind of a drama queen . johnny : i do n't have to admit anything . maxie : we all have parent issues . look at you , your father is insane . your mother is dead . both my parents found much more important things to do than spend time with me or my sister . look how well - adjusted you and i both turned out . johnny : speak for yourself . maxie : the thing lulu ca n't get past is having parents who are , like , these legends . i mean , everybody knows who luke and laura is . they have the greatest love story . i mean , lulu 's whole perspective on love is based on this huge fantasy . pretty much makes any guy she gets involved with doomed . johnny : wow . thanks for the cheerful insight . maxie : seriously . you should n't have lied to her about that job . but lulu only has herself to blame . she 's turning your romance into this huge saga , and she 's trying to write you as her hero . i think that 's a lot of pressure for any person . johnny : sounds like you 've given this a lot of thought . maxie : it 's not like i lie awake at night thinking about it , okay ? but i am friends with both of you . i feel like i can give you some sort of perspective . johnny : okay , fine . no offense , but when did you get your therapist 's license ? maxie : i happen to have amazing insight . johnny : do n't overthink it . i acted like a complete ass . i blew up at lulu because i knew i should n't have lied to her . and because i know eventually , i 'm going to lose her . [ scene_break ] lulu : did you have a fight with nadine or something ? nikolas : no , this has nothing to do with nadine . here 's what i need you to do , okay ? right behind you , see that pool of light ? lulu : yeah . nikolas : go stand in the middle of it . lulu : why ? nikolas : i ca n't explain , just do it . lulu : are you okay ? nikolas : i 'm fine . if you do n't want to help me , i 'll get somebody else . please . lulu : fine , fine , i 'll do it . nikolas : thank you . lulu : i wish i knew what was going on . nikolas : no . turn to your left , like a half -- quarter turn . lulu : oh , my gosh , this is really weird . nikolas : please , would you please just do this for me ? lulu : fine . this what you want ? nikolas : yeah . i can see your face perfectly . [ scene_break ] jason : we have one dead so far . his name is andy -- archer ? spinelli : say it is n't so . the warrior of anesthesia is felled by his own arrow . jason : yes , it 's dr. archer , okay ? the rest are in critical condition . what do you know about the poison ? agent rayner : it 's still in the development stages . there 's not a whole lot of data on it yet . jason : well , do they know if it 's going to dissipate the further away it moves from its source ? agent rayner : the people who manufactured it are n't exactly talking . jason : well , make them talk ! i mean , come on , there 's a hospital full of people here who could die . sam : hey , you should n't have to do this . i can relay information to the fbi the next time he calls . jason : it 's okay . sam : no , i 'm just saying that maybe -- maybe you wanted to check on your mother or elizabeth . jason : i do n't think there 's anything i can do for them . but maybe i can help somebody else . what did you find on the specs ? spinelli : general hospital has stood tall and proud for many decades , so it 's not surprising that many repairs and rebuilds have taken place , but it makes analyzing the system most complicated . patrick : x - rays show five spheres , four and a half centimeters each in diameter . jason : okay . patrick : i just examined bragg . there was only one . sam : one what ? patrick : one sphere . one sphere was cut open . all this damage was done by one . jason : what about the other four ? [ scene_break ] johnny : good news . i found some beer outside . it 's even ice - cold . maxie : oh , good . it 's not like we do n't have the world 's largest ice bucket outside . johnny : yeah . all we need now is a pool table and a juke box . we could have our own version of jake 's . maxie : well , when you say i 'm good at deflecting , i see how you changed the subject . johnny : i did n't realize there was a subject to change . maxie : come on , johnny . we were talking about how you and lulu were doomed . it was just starting to get interesting . johnny : yeah , well , no . i think i said too much . you 're probably going to go blabbing to her now . maxie : i will not . i 'm completely trustworthy . johnny : yeah . maxie : people tell me their secrets all the time . the other , day jason told spinelli -- never mind . see , you can trust me . johnny : no , forget about it . talking about it 's not going to change anything , anyway . maxie : do n't you know how women always have to talk things to death so they can figure them out ? maybe if you talk to me , i can help you realize you and lulu are n't doomed . johnny : i 'd rather be in the moment . it 's where i do my best work . maxie : fine . well , thank you for saving my life tonight . johnny : anytime . [ scene_break ] lulu : nikolas , you need to tell me what is going on . nadine : it 's nothing you need to be worried about . lulu : no , do n't tell me that . i am so stressed out right now . i had the worst fight with johnny , i do n't know where he is , and kate is stressing me out -- stop . look , you are being really weird , and i -- i have not seen you like this in -- since -- nikolas : since what , emily died ? yeah , well , great . it 's back . because i saw her here . lulu : you had surgery to fix this , okay ? no more visions . nikolas : i know . lulu : you 're fine . nikolas : i was on the phone right over there . i had looked up , and i saw emily standing right where i told you to stand . and i know i was n't mistaken , because you just proved that to me . i saw her face as clear as i saw yours . then i ran around this corridor and she was -- she was n't here . it was empty . lulu : of course no one was there . nikolas : i think my mind is playing tricks on me . i mean , i accosted some poor woman outside carly 's event because i thought she looked like emily from behind . lulu : what ? that -- well , then , that 's it . then it 's obviously a case of mistaken identity . nikolas : no , because that lady said that she was never in this corridor , and that her and her husband came in through the main entrance . then again , she was probably so creeped out by the way i was staring at her , she lied to me . so maybe she was here , i do n't know . maybe she was n't . lulu : please do n't tell me you 're seeing dead people again . i really do n't think i can handle this . nikolas : i do n't know what i saw . i do n't know who i saw . i just know that it was her face . [ scene_break ] robin : come on .

morgan : i did n't know you get so much loot for christenings . it 's like josslyn gets an extra birthday or a second christmas . michael : well , it 's deeper than getting a bunch of presents . christenings are a big deal for what they symbolize . morgan : you mean like you get to be with god ? michael : that 's the idea . morgan : you were christened , right ? michael : sure was . morgan : me , too . now josslyn . it 's like we 'll all be together forever . it 's like a free pass to heaven , basically . carly : morgan , go find a tie . tell jax to hurry up . we have to be at the church in an hour . you look handsome . carly : so , you were right , you know this is a big day for josslyn . she might 've missed it if it were n't for you . michael : well , i do n't think killing claudia will allow me to hold on to my free pass . carly : you saved your sister . it 's got ta count for something . michael : you really believe that ? carly : yeah , i do . hey , how 's she doing ? jax : fast asleep . carly : that means she 's saving up her energy so she can wail like a banshee at the altar . jax : ah .

[ scene_break ] lulu : seriously , when do i ever ask you for anything ? i 'm gon na be josslyn 's godmother . i need somebody in that church who is not gon na think about that and snicker . lucky : i do n't think i 'm up for it . lulu : i know , i know , but it 's gon na be a spencer event , and maybe being around family will cheer you up . and do n't worry , nikolas is not gon na be there , and elizabeth would not dare show her treacherous face . lucky : i 'm sorry , lulu . i ca n't help you out right now . lulu : hey , i was really hoping i was n't gon na have to beg , but i will do it . please , please . seriously , lucky , i really , really , really need you at that christening . lucky : why does this mean so much to you ? lulu : i just have a bad feeling . [ scene_break ] dominic : we do this my way . okay ? i 'm the one who risks his ass every day , the one whose job put his mother through 30 kinds of hell . i set this in motion , i say how it ends . we do n't arrest sonny until after the christening . ronnie : i think it 's a mistake , dante . no kingpin is as slippery or as smart as sonny corinthos . now , why give him the benefit of any extra time ? dominic : this is n't negotiable . ronnie : fine . your way . just make sure sonny 's positioned . and the minute he gets out of the service , you move in . an entire squad will be there to back you up . unless you plan on using the christening to warn him what 's coming . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] jason : everything 's in place . sonny : you sure it 's gon na look like an accident ? jason : no question about it . sonny : dominic must be feeling pretty smug right now . he not only infiltrated my organization , he worked his way into a position of trust . jason : i got ta give it to him -- he 's a pretty smart guy . sonny : dominic is n't that brilliant his ass did n't get caught . jason : he got too close . sonny : dominic is n't the problem . he is as good as dead . [ door opens ] sonny : hey . olivia : do n't look so surprised . you had to know i 'd stop you . [ scene_break ] lucky : it 's only natural that you 'd be a little nervous . large port charles gatherings rarely end well . then consider carly 's guest list . you got spencers / slash / jacks screw - ups and wild cards on one side , including a member of the pcpd , and sonny and his merry band of mobsters on the other . i mean , the potential for a disaster is astronomical . lulu : so , does that mean that you 're gon na go or not ? i mean , you already accepted carly 's invitation . lucky : i was pretty wasted at the time . i mean , i barely even remember being invited . and -- and telling carly , agreeing to go , was just this -- this lead - in to telling her that nikolas and elizabeth would probably be too busy getting naked to make it . [ sighs ] did you hear that ? i 'm sorry . that 's -- i 'm like walking negativity right now . it 's not what today is about . lulu : could you just step outside of yourself for one afternoon and do this for me ? i really need you . lucky : what are you not telling me ? lulu : it 's just -- it 's what you said . i mean , there 's gon na be so many landmines to tiptoe over at this church . michael hates dominic . jax hates sonny , just about as much as sonny hates him . and if i remember my port charles history correctly , carly and the quartermaines at a christening is not a good mix . besides , when are you gon na see your sister step up as a moral compass for someone ? please , lucky , just be my backup . [ scene_break ] dominic : you honestly think i 'd blow sonny 's arrest this late in the game ? ronnie : i 'm thinking that you worry me , detective . i 'm thinking you got way too close to the target . i 'm thinking that maybe you 're stalling just long enough for one of sonny 's moles to warn sonny what 's coming down . dominic : okay , maybe you could stop short of insulting me . ronnie : you ca n't blame me for doubting . whether you realize it or not , dante , you have changed over the course of this investigation . when we first started , you were -- you were driven , champing at the bit to bring sonny down . you were motivated , determined to make him pay for lieutenant poletti . dominic : i still am . that is a wound that has never healed , okay ? but sonny is a father , too , and if you take him away from his kids , gangster that he is , they are still gon na be hurt by this . they are good kids , ronnie . carly 's a good woman . they deserve one last good moment . ronnie : oh , i see . so you 're only concerned with the peripheral people . sonny 's plight does n't bother you one bit . the break you 're giving is for sonny . you like him , and you want him to have one more happy moment before we haul his ass off to prison . dominic : oh , so what ? is that so bad ? ronnie : yeah , it becomes bad if it gives him time to slip away . or even worse , time to figure out your part in all this . who 's to say he already has n't ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you lost me . uh , you do n't want me to go to josslyn 's christening ? olivia : no , you should be there . i 'm just here to remind you of what this day is really about , since you seem to have such a talent for drawing all the attention to yourself . jax 's first and only child is being christened today . sonny : right . olivia : and he deserves to have that go off without anyone being shot in the house of god . and so does carly . and so do josslyn 's brothers , who are your sons . and god knows michael could use a joyful day . and that goes for you , too . you have to know how much jax had to suck up to let you be the godfather of his kid , so i would like some assurances . jason : we 're not gon na cause any problems for jax . sonny , i better get going . sonny : yeah , yeah , go ahead . [ sighs ] olivia : okay , let 's hear it . sonny : hear what ? olivia : two seconds have gone by and you have n't started berating me for breaking into your house or , uh , dictating your behavior . you 've beaten up that tie like it personally offended you . what 's going on ? sonny : why do n't you tell me ? [ scene_break ] jane : well , i must say , my granddaughter 's men are very stylish . how fortunate for josslyn to have such handsome protectors . but -- this one needs air and water . carly : oh . okay . i 'll check it out . oh , my . okay . jane : it 's a hybrid , rapid - growth maple . with minimum care , it 'll last till spring when you can plant it in josslyn 's name and it 'll grow over 5 feet a year . ha . carly : wow , that 's great , jane . jane : you will be swinging your daughter from one of its sturdy boughs in no time . [ carly laughs ] jax : thanks , mom . carly : you know what ? uh , michael , morgan , will you guys run up and tell mercedes that josslyn needs to be changed and dressed for the christening ? okay . jax : where are you going ? carly : i need to run an errand . real fast . jax : okay . jane : oh , how your father would have loved seeing this beautiful baby . jax : yeah , mom , i 'm sure he already has . jane : well , if john is watching , he is no more fooled than i am . this should be one of the happiest days of your life . surrounded by the family you worked so hard to keep , christening your beautiful baby daughter , your old mum in attendance . love in the air . and yet you 're sad . jax : well , i 'm afraid that it 's all about to come crashing down . jane : oh , jax . what have you done now ? are you keeping secrets from carly again ? jax : oh , just one . jane : one is all it takes . oh , please , not jerry . jax : no , it 's not jerry . it 's sonny . i am taking action to have him removed from our lives once and for all . jane : specifics , please . jax : all right . there 's an undercover cop . he infiltrated sonny 's organization . i helped him . called in favors from washington , used a senate connection to apply pressure when the investigation was hitting a snag . well , apparently the wait 's over . the , uh , warrant for sonny 's arrest was just issued , and it should be served at any time now . jane : at the christening ? jax : i hope not . jane : ohh ... carly 's gon na be furious . jax : i know . jane : she may not forgive you this time . jax : believe me , i 'm aware of that , mom . but i 'm gon na be honest with her this time . i 'm gon na tell her the truth . i 'm gon na tell her all about my involvement in sonny 's arrest and all the reasons why . jane : this animosity between you and sonny is so ingrained . i fear it 's blinded you . jax : oh , i like to think my eyes have been opened . sonny has to go , no matter what the price .

[ scene_break ] a.j . : [ sighs ] a.j . quartermaine and son are in charge now , and there is nothing that tracy can do about it .

[ scene_break ] patrick : sabrina , it 's patrick again . can you please call me back ? i 'm going a little bit crazy here . britt : hey , she 's gon na be okay . we still do n't have any reason to think emma was kidnapped . patrick : got to consider every possibility . britt : i know , but it does n't have to be something sinister . i mean , if -- if emma could n't find sabrina , maybe she just went to a friend 's house . patrick : you know , you 're right . i got to call everybody . maybe somebody picked her up by accident . maybe there was a misunderstanding . [ sighs ] god . what if somebody took her ? britt : i 'm sure that 's not what happened . patrick : i just , i ca n't think of any reason why she would leave without -- without telling me . [ scene_break ] mac : anna , i got here as fast as i could . any word on emma ? anna : no . mac : [ sighs ] all right , listen . felicia is at patrick 's house waiting to see if she shows up there . what can i do ? anna : i do n't know . um , i 've got , uh , an amber alert out and an apb , and i 've got officers searching the area . and , um ... could you just stay with me so i do n't fall apart ? mac : hey . you 're not gon na fall apart , okay ? not when emma 's grandmother needs her . you 're not gon na fall apart . [ scene_break ] sonny : here 's what happened . i walked into connie 's office . the place was a mess . she had a baseball bat in her hand . she was threatening to kill connie . alexis : oh , dear god . sonny : okay , but i talked her down , took the baseball bat from her hands . kristina : yeah , you defended her . you made all the same stupid excuses . `` oh , poor , poor connie . she lost her son . `` sonny : i was trying to talk you down , because i did n't want you to make a stupid mistake . you were strangling connie . kristina : and i would have finished the job . i do n't know why you pulled me away . alexis : because he was trying to save your butt , that 's why . and connie 's . if he did n't show up , you could be looking at a murder charge . [ scene_break ] michael : i want to start planning the -- the whole transition , but i have to go look for my sister . a.j . : no . absolutely . family comes first . that 's why this is so important to me . michael : look , i 'm really glad for you that this whole thing worked out . i mean , that 's great . a.j . : no , this worked out for both of us , all right ? michael , i 'm really happy that you and i , we 're gon na be running the family business together . michael : yeah , me , too . a.j . : okay . i 'll , uh , i 'll see you later ? michael : yeah . a.j . : okay . can i help you ? duke : i 'm not sure . my name is duke lavery . i have an appointment with tracy quartermaine . a.j . : huh . well , tracy 's gone and she wo n't be coming back . [ scene_break ] connie : so , let me get this straight . you decided to shore up your company 's bottom line with a cash infusion from the mob . tracy : elq was going through a rough patch . connie : hmm . yes . and gino soleito 's money would just patch that all up . tracy : i managed to access some of my late husband 's funds , which i put into elq without doing an appropriate background check . connie : fancy words . but what this really boils down to is that this high and mighty quartermaine was slumming it ! and everyone thought that elq was so pure , right ? and it 's nothing but a front ! tracy : elq is not a front . it was my father 's life 's work . he could have rested on his inheritance . he could have lived off of his trust fund . but no . he had interests all over the world . connie : well , if it 's so freaking fantastic , tracy , why you trying to destroy it to spite your nephew ? [ scene_break ] michael : you hear anything about kristina ? starr : no . molly and t.j. went looking for her , but they have n't called me yet . michael : we 'll find her . starr : molly and i tried to help out , but kristina was so angry , and i tried to get her to focus on something else . i - i told her we could sign her up for classes at pcu . michael : let me guess . that sounded good to her , right ? she said all the right things . starr : exactly . and she went to go get ready , and then when i went to look for her , she ... she was n't there . she took off . [ sighs ] i think she went after connie . [ scene_break ] connie : so , you want to use my paper to send your company to kingdom come . i got a right to ask you this . is n't there some other way you can get back at your nephew and his son that does n't take the company down with them ? tracy : [ sighs ] actually , i was hoping that would be possible , but a.j . out- maneuvered me . he did n't do it by himself . left to his own devices , he 's completely ineffectual . he had help , mostly from his son , michael . people do things for michael that they would n't do for a.j . connie : you know , i met a.j . the other night . to tell you the truth , i did n't think he 's such a bad guy . tracy : [ laughs ] and where did this meeting take place ? in a bar , perhaps ? tell me he was drinking . connie : no , he was white - knuckling the booze for sure . guy 's got a problem . no question . tracy : well , alcoholism is just a symptom . he is arrogant , entitled , and completely incompetent . connie : but he seems to really love his son . and in my book , that means something . a.j . told me that he never had a relationship with his son until now , and he wanted to work with him . more importantly , he wanted to get to know him , form a bond . which is more than i can have with my son . tracy : i heard about trey . i 'm sorry you lost your son . i imagine you and kristina are in a lot of pain . connie : yeah , i 'm in pain , all right . kristina 's got a screw loose . just before you got here , she came in here . she tried to kill me . [ scene_break ] kristina : why does she get to walk around free and act like nothing happened ? why does she get to live her life alive and well when ... when trey 's dead ? [ sobs ] alexis : i 'm sorry , honey . kristina : [ voice breaking ] why are you apologizing , mom ? you did n't do anything wrong . dad 's the one who paid for connie 's bail . sonny : dad ? it was the only way i could get connie to agree to take trey off life support . kristina : no , but it 's more than that , dad . you felt sorry for her . sonny : yeah . kristina : after all the lies she 's told ? after all the -- all the people that she 's hurt ? after she abandoned trey as a baby and left him to die in a drawer ? you feel sorry for this woman ? sonny : kate 's a sick woman . i do n't know what you want me to say . kristina : there is no kate , dad . she 's just connie . and she 's horrible , and you refused to stop her , so i had to do it myself . alexis : no , you do n't get to do that . no matter how terrible you feel or how wronged you think you are , you do n't get to take the law into your own hands . kristina : dad does it all the time ! sonny : forget what i do . you do n't get to grab a baseball bat and try to hurt somebody . you do n't do that ! alexis : hurting connie is n't gon na bring trey back . he 's gone , and you 're gon na have to accept that . kristina : [ sobbing ] but it 's not fair . connie 's the one who deserves to die , not -- not trey . alexis : all right , sweetie . okay . all right ? listen to me . you listening ? do n't say another word , okay ? now i 'm talking as your attorney and not your mother . kristina : [ sniffles ] alexis : watch her . excuse me . i need to see commissioner devane . officer : i 'm sorry . she 's out on a call . excuse me . alexis : okay , you know what ? i think i can make this go away . i mean , she 's obviously distraught . sonny : she just watched her boyfriend die . alexis : okay , so there was no rational intent to harm . there was no rational thinking , period . [ sighs ] sonny : that 's exactly what i told dante . the problem we 're having here is that connie insists on pressing charges . [ scene_break ] connie : kristina came at me with a baseball bat . and as you can see , she was n't kidding around . tracy : she give you a reason for her rampage ? connie : yeah . she blames me for the accident that killed trey . and she 's not too far from the truth . tracy : so she was justified . connie : i did n't know my own kid . i did n't want to know him because of where he came from . his father , joe scully , raped me . and i was pregnant , and i sure as hell did n't want a baby , so i left it in a dresser drawer and i took off . and all these years later when i caught up to him , i treated him like crap , and i told him that i wished he 'd been aborted . what do you care , anyway ? you 're just here to screw your own nephew . tracy : you 're wrong . i do care . [ scene_break ] a.j . : i remember you , mr. lavery , from when i was a kid . a.j . quartermaine . duke : oh . well , you 're alan and monica 's son . a.j . : yeah . duke : well , i 'm sorry . i did n't recognize you . a.j . : it 's been a long time . i did recognize you , though . been watching the news . come on in . duke : hmm . story of my rather astounding return from the dead last fall . a.j . : which was n't really you . it was cesar faison . duke : makes for a colorful story , but unfortunately , all true . a.j . : well , actually , i 've got to take a little bit of credit for exposing faison . you see , i saw him at a clinic in switzerland years after he was supposedly dead , and i turned that information over to the cops . duke : well , in that case , i owe you thanks not only for myself for also for anna devane . a.j . : well , i did n't exactly do it out of the goodness of my heart . i was having , uh , some legal problems of my own . giving up faison got me off the hook . duke : well , the man is locked up and behind bars , and my face and my identity are once again my own . a.j . : [ chuckles ] so , why were you looking for tracy ? duke : she was kind enough to give me an appointment . actually , what i 'm looking for is work . i want to get my life back . i want to reclaim everything that i 've lost . [ scene_break ] anna : [ voice breaking ] i want to believe that it 's the simplest explanation , that she just wandered off for some reason and [ sniffles ] one of my officers is gon na find her . and it 's not ... it 's not gon na be a horrible scenario . 'cause we ca n't lose emma . [ sniffles ] i did n't think we were gon na lose robin , and we did . mac : listen to me , okay ? you are the smartest , most capable , most kickass police commissioner port charles has ever had . you 're gon na use all that to find emma . anna : i just feel like a freaked - out grandmother right now . mac : if anyone can do this , it 's you , anna . you 're gon na find her , all right ? you 're gon na find her . you 're gon na bring her home . anna : okay . [ scene_break ] patrick : is there anything that happened between you and emma when you were alone ? britt : like what ? patrick : anything . was she upset that i was on the phone ? britt : no , she -- she did n't say anything . patrick : she did n't say anything ? please . there 's no reason why she would just get up and leave ? 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 : 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 . britt : no , i - i ca n't think of any reason why she would want to leave . [ scene_break ] sabrina : sweetheart , who 's your daddy with that you do n't want to see ? emma : her . sabrina : do you mean dr. westbourne ? or , i mean , britt ? emma , honey , you know you can tell me anything , right ? anything at all . i 'm not gon na be mad . okay . so , why do n't you tell me why you do n't want to see britt ? emma : 'cause i do n't like her , and she 's mean . sabrina : emma , did she hurt you ? emma : she said mean things to me . she does n't like me . sabrina : what ? ! she said that to you ? emma : but i do n't care 'cause i do n't like her , either . sabrina : [ sighs ] that makes two of us . sweetheart , i want you to listen to me , okay ? it does n't matter what britt thinks about you , especially if she is too silly to see how wonderful you are . but your daddy , oh , he loves you so much . you are the most important person in the world to him , and right now , he has no idea where you are , and he 's got to be really worried . emma : is he sad ? sabrina : i bet you that he is . but when he finds you , he 's gon na be so happy , so why do n't we make him happy , all right ? tell me the last place you saw him . [ scene_break ] officer : commissioner 's not back , and we have to book your daughter . alexis : i 'll come with you . officer : i 'm sorry . you have to stay here . alexis : it 's okay . it 's all right , honey . all right , i 'll be right here when you come back . do something . sonny : you 're the lawyer . ca n't you file some kind of motion ? at least get her released in our custody ? alexis : it would help if the charges were withdrawn before anything moves forward , so you need to speak to connie . sonny : i tried , and she 's not having it . she 's calling the cops , the whole thing , pressing charges . alexis : i 'm saying try again because our daughter 's gon na end up in prison because you 're dating a nutcase . is that what you want ? sonny : listen , i thought maybe once you get in front of the judge , you can explain to the judge her situation . alexis : it 's not like a stoplight . she could be charged with assault . she could be charged with murder . she could end up in prison . sonny : i do n't think it 's gon na get to that . alexis : no , it 's not , because you 're gon na go talk to connie right now , and you 're gon na try to get her to see reason . as if that 's even possible . [ scene_break ] tracy : actually , i had my own dealings with joe scully . connie : lucky you . tracy : funny thing is , i did think i was lucky at first . i had found myself the odd woman out in a love triangle , and it hurt . it made me feel old and invisible and more alone than i 'd ever been in my life . and then along came joe . connie : [ scoffs ] tracy : and yes , i know everything that he did now , but then , i had no idea . he was very good at hiding his dark side . connie : yeah , he was . his own son spent most of his life thinking he was a decent guy . tracy : well , i know one thing for sure is that he loved trey very much no matter how much he used him . connie : [ voice breaking ] my boy . my trey . he had some lousy parents . that kid never had a chance . [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] a.j . : so , what were you gon na speak to tracy about ? what kind of job ? you have a résumé ? duke : no . in fact , the -- the last job i actually had , i owned a night club here in town and i managed it . and then i spent almost two decades in a turkish prison . not for a crime , unless you call just being alive a crime . a.j . : terrible that must have been . but , uh , i do have to tell you that i am aware of your past money laundering with the mob . duke : hmm . my reputation does precede me . a.j . : i just sent tracy packing for potential s.e.c . violations . i 'm sure you understand that i ca n't involve myself with anyone that has any ties to organized crime . duke : well , i can assure you that chapter of my life is way behind me . i left the mob . and as i told you , i ran a successful night club . a.j . : decades ago . duke : yes . a.j . : it 's a big gap in experience . even if i do sympathize with you , can you give me one good reason why i should give you a job ? [ scene_break ] patrick : anna . anything ? anna : no . nothing yet . but i have officers everywhere , and they 'll turn something up . patrick : damn it , anna . turn something up ? mac : patrick , come on . take it easy . unloading on each other 's not gon na help . we 're all worried . patrick : i 'm sorry . i just ... this is my fault . i ... i should have kept a closer eye on her . i was on the phone for too long . i should n't have let her out of my sight for one second . anna : it 's not your fault . we 're not gon na blame anyone . we 'll deal with that later . right now , we have to keep an even head , okay ? i have a -- patrick : i 'm gon na go get in my car . i got to go find her . i 'm not gon na leave -- emma . oh , my god . oh , my god . you okay ? yeah ? emma : yeah . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know what 's at stake if connie does n't drop the charges . last thing i want is for kristina to , you know , have a record . i do n't want her to go to prison . that would kill me . you know that . alexis : yeah . i do know that . so do something . sonny : okay , you want me to bribe the judge ? i 'll call in some favors . i 'll even fly her out of the country . alexis : that 's not what i want you to do , and you know that . sonny : well , i 've told you now a thousand times i ca n't get through to connie . alexis : well , you did before about trey . you changed her mind . sonny : okay , look , because of what happened with trey , yes , uh , we connected a little bit , but it 's very , very complicated right now . alexis : how -- how complicated ? sonny : [ sighs ] connie thinks that i want her gone and that i want kate to come back , and i had to admit that that 's true . alexis : okay . well , i usually value the truth , but when you 're dealing with a cuckoo , lie to her . sonny : at this point , i have no more pull with connie , so we have to figure out another way to get kristina out of here . you 're the best lawyer in the history of lawyers , so maybe you can -- alexis : that 's not gon na matter because a police witness happened to see her try to kill connie . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : what are you doing ? alexis : it 's michael . hold on . hey . what 's up ? michael : hey , i do n't want to upset you , but i think there 's a problem with kristina . i 'm just really worried about her . alexis : yeah , well , that makes two of us . [ scene_break ] connie : [ sniffles ] okay , enough of that . just got a little weepy for a minute . all this talk about joe jr. and my kid , it 's ... tracy : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to bring up any bad feelings . connie : you did n't . [ sniffles ] so , why do n't we just skip the sob fest and get back to business ? [ sniffles ] what do you say ? [ scene_break ] michael : okay , well , let me know if there 's anything i can do . [ sighs ] kristina 's been arrested . she attacked connie . she went into her office , trashed the whole place , even tried to strangle her . starr : oh , my god . okay . well , what do we have to do ? michael : no , no . alexis said we should stay here . my dad 's already there with her . and if we show up , it might set her off again . starr : is alexis gon na be able to get her out of this ? michael : i hope so . i just feel so useless being here . starr : okay , okay , okay . since we ca n't do anything about it , why do n't we just ... sit ? tell me about your day . how was your day ? michael : my day -- terrible . thanks . starr : no , i 'm talking about with a.j . were n't you supposed to meet up with him and strategize over elq and tracy ? michael : yeah , we did a little more than that . we were able to reverse the tables on , uh , tracy . starr : what do you mean ? michael : tracy 's out . a.j . 's in as c.e.o . starr : well , is n't that exactly what you wanted ? michael : yeah , i did . i did . and i 'm happy for a.j . he was able to pull off a pretty smart maneuver ? starr : which was what ? michael : actually , it involves you . [ scene_break ] connie : so , i think i got the picture . you hate a.j . like poison , and the last thing you want is for him to take over your business . tracy : my father hated weakness and lack of resolve . a.j . quartermaine is the embodiment of both those failings . he can not have my company . this is the way to stop him . connie : does n't the s.e.c . cut both ways ? if i print this , it 'll take down a.j . and elq , but it 'll bring you down , as well . is that what you want ? [ scene_break ] duke : i 'm resourceful . i 'm intuitive . i have a couple of tricks up my sleeve . although all the resources in the world could n't help me stop time . by the time i got back here , i 'd lost everything -- my assets , my property , and more importantly , the woman that i love . a.j . : that ca n't have been easy . duke : i do n't need pity . i just need a chance to rebuild . i want a chance to prove to the people in this town that i 'm worthy , and that i 'm here to stay . i do n't expect you to understand what it 's like to need to start all over again . [ scene_break ] a.j . : i think i understand perfectly . patrick : thank god you 're okay .

[ laughter ] anna : hi , this is commissioner devane . yes , yes . you can call off the search . yeah , we got emma drake . she 's safe and sound . patrick : how did you find her ? sabrina : actually , i think she found me . she was on the pier feeding the ducks . i 'd taken her there before , and she loves it . emma gave them all names .

[ scene_break ] a.j . : if i were to take that leap and hire you , what can you do for me ? duke : well , as i already told you , i ran my own business successfully . i 'm good at planning and accounting . a.j . : oh , you want to work in accounting ? duke : why not ? i 'm good with figures . i also excel at , uh , communication and negotiation . a.j . : you 're not bad at sales , either . duke : right . i 'll take anything you have to offer . any work . see , the fact is , i have to be on firm footing if i 'm gon na have a fighting chance to win back the woman that i love . [ scene_break ] anna : this little miss looks like she 's freezing . i think we 're gon na take you into the kitchen and get you all warmed up , okay ? emma : okay . anna : all right ? mac : that 's a good idea . you know , i think the cook was worried about you , too . i think he 'd make you a hot chocolate . anna : ooh , i 'll have one of those . do you want a hot chocolate , mac ? mac : i would love one with marshmallows , please . patrick : sabrina , what did she say ? sabrina : uh , i 'm -- i 'm sure emma will just tell you -- patrick : i 'm not asking emma . britt : sabrina 's right . we should talk about this , just the two of us . sabrina : dr. westbourne told emma that she does n't like her . britt : that 's crazy . [ scoffs ] why would i say anything like that to a child ? sabrina : i do n't know . why -- why would you ? you tell me . britt : you 're overreacting , sabrina . obviously emma was making it up . i mean , she has a vivid imagination . you remember when she was on the phone -- patrick : you think she was making it up ? sabrina : no , i do n't . i think emma was telling the truth .

tina : i happen to be a very organized person , and there 's nothing wrong with that . i have a high - pressure job . i have kids at home . if i do n't stay on top of things , there 'd be chaos . some people are concerned that i may be going overboard . i do n't want to argue , so it 's easier for me just to come in here , talk to dr. collins , and call it ... franco : o.c.d . ! tina : excuse me ?

kevin : about a month . um ... he came to my office tonight and asked me to hide him from the police . scott : so , um , you -- you saw him tonight ? kevin : well , normally this would be covered by doctor / patient confidentiality , but , in this case , it does n't apply because carly may be in real danger . scott : why did n't you call it in ? kevin : you and i are n't each other 's biggest fans . scott : well ... kevin : but you are one of lucy 's closest friends , and she would want me to do right by you . so i felt i owed you a heads - up . julian : i heard about the , uh , case against silas clay . i 'm not gon na bite . please . alexis : from ava ?

julian : she asked , and i complied . unfortunately , i did n't get very far . ava was her typical self . she would n't confirm or deny that she set silas up for attempted murder of his wife . alexis : well , thank you . thank you very much for your help , and i 'm sure that sam was very grateful . but that 's the point , is n't it ? julian : [ chuckles ] well , you sound just like my sister . alexis : there 's a compliment . julian : well , ava accused me of , uh , throwing her under the bus if i can get back into sam 's good graces , so ... alexis : and ? julian : she was right . you know , the thing is , alexis , i would do just about anything if it meant that my children would let me into their lives ... and that you ... would let me back into yours . duke : [ sighs ] what the jerome family have done to anna and me is unforgivable . they murdered our unborn child . that family almost destroyed my life , and they have n't paid for any of it . but now they 're gon na pay , and i 'm gon na make sure of that . sonny : i 'm with you every step of the way . duke : you and i are the only ones who understand . julian has taken and taken , and he will continue to take until there is nothing left , unless he is stopped , and we have to do that at any cost . sonny : even if it means your relationship with anna ? robert : i ca n't blame lavery . anna : [ scoffs ] god , that 's a first . robert : if i 'd been through what he had , i 'd want a bit of revenge , too . anna : well , it 's both of us , you know ? duke and myself . no one understands his hatred as much as i do . robert : but that does n't make you change your mind . anna : no . no , it does n't . i told him if there was going to be a us , it could n't be the way it was years ago . i 'm e commissioner . it 's imperative that i 'm on the right side of the law , and that includes the company i keep . robert : that settles it . anna : except that it does n't . i mean , who am i to talk about the moral high ground ? i mean , really . after what i did to faison ? lulu : it 's really all it was , was just me venting . dante : about us ? lulu : no , mainly about me . sometimes it 's easier to talk to a stranger . it was n't until tonight -- actually right now -- that i realized what i 'd been doing . dante : i do n't even understand . what -- what -- what were you doing ? lulu : i 've been running -- from you , from my life . dante : our life . lulu : our life . whatever that looks like now that connie is gone . dante : lulu ... lulu : look , i just need to say this , okay ? when you did n't lie for me on the stand , i was angry . dante : well , yeah , i get that . lulu : yeah , you get that because you 're you and you 've got a temper , but ... you do n't overreact the way that i do . you 're not impulsive . you 're not hotheaded . dante : well , i happen to love this hothead . lulu : i 'm sorry , dante . i 'm sorry . i never should have blamed you . i - i only did because it was easier than facing the truth . as much as we loved connie , she was never really ours . and i was really scared . dante : i was scared , too . lulu : our future was this black hole . no baby , no one to love . but i was wrong . hey , i was wrong , because i have someone to love -- you . i was so busy feeling sorry for myself that i forgot that you were in mourning , too . i should have been stronger . i should have fought with you , not against you , and i never -- look at me . i should never , ever have walked out on you . the question is ... can you forgive me ? scott : kevin , i - i appreciate you coming here and telling me this . kevin : well , like i said , it 's what lucy would want . scott : where is he now ? kevin : hopefully still at my office . scott : okay , well , you know what ? head back there and keep him busy , and i 'll handle the rest . kevin : i 'll do my best . scott : i mean it . i appreciate this . [ door closes ] lucy : [ sighs ] i ca n't believe this . i ca n't -- i ca n't believe this is happening . franco is doc 's patient ? if i had n't been so wrapped up in all of this , i would n't have -- scott : i ca n't talk about it right now . my son 's on the loose . lucy : right . right . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . what are you going to do ? scott : hello ? yeah , this is d.a . baldwin . i 've got some information on franco 's whereabouts . tina : yeah , i 've definitely seen you somewhere before . franco : no . i hear that a lot . i just have one of those faces . tina : i do n't think that 's it . franco : oh , yeah . that 's ... [ thud ] franco : look , it just happens to me -- all the time . i do n't know why . people say , `` did we go to high school together ? `` or they ask me , um , `` are you the guy from some other town , used to play football ? `` tina : are n't you too skinny to play football ? franco : well , y -- well , i -- look , i - i did n't say i actually played the football . i 'm saying that , you know , i look like the guy who actually played the football . tina : no . i 'm not confusing you with any football players . i know i know you . it seems like it was someplace recently that i saw you . i just ca n't place it . franco : well , it must be from here , because i am dr. collins ' assistant . tina : dr. collins ' assistant is a woman named jamie . franco : yeah , well , jamie is exhausted , so she took a sabbatical , and now i 'm dr. collins ' new assistant . and , actually , he called , and he said that tina estrada was gon na come in and that i should reschedule her appointment . tina : why ? franco : well , why ? because he had an emergency . that 's why . tina : what kind ? franco : uh ... i am not at liberty to say . tina : [ gasps ] franco : what ? oh , no . tina : well , then , why did n't you call me instead of having me come all the way down here ? ! franco : i was gon na call you . i should have called you , but i thought , you know , maybe that it was too late , that you were already on your way . and i was right -- you were . and so now -- tina : so ? ! franco : okay . why ca n't you just call back in the morning ? and we 'll give you another appointment ? tina : okay , well , when i do , who do i say i was talking to ? franco : me . tina : what is your name ? franco : s - steven ... lars . tina : huh . you do n't look like a steven . franco : steve ? okay , you know , you 're right . i 've never really felt , um , like a steve or a steven . so i 'm considering a legal name change , but i 'm not gon na do it before tomorrow morning . so i 'll tell you what . why do n't you call back ? and i 'll make sure you get the first available appointment with dr. collins . tina : you better ... steven ? [ door opens ] tina : i wonder if dr. collins knows his assistant is crazier than his patients . lulu : do n't leave a girl hanging . dante : are you kidding me ? lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : you 're my wife . i love you more than anything on this planet . lulu : more than the yankees ? dante : let 's not make a guy choose . lulu : hmm . dante : of course i forgive you ... as long as you forgive me . lulu : there is nothing to forgive . dante : okay . lulu : okay . dante : so , let 's not talk anymore about who needs to forgive who or who did anything wrong . what we need to talk about is what we 're gon na do next . together . 'cause i do n't -- i do n't want to even think of my future without you in it . lulu : neither do i . dante : good . so gon na come home ? lulu : uh ... nathan : sorry to interrupt . i -- look , i just got a call . they found franco . dante : as in he 's in custody ? nathan : as in that 's where we come in . um , from the sound of it , he 's not armed , but we got to move quick . lulu : is he with carly ? nathan : there 's no word on your cousin yet . i 'm sorry . lulu : i got to get back to the house . bobbie and lucas might need me . we have no idea how this might end . nathan : i 'll be outside . dante : yeah . i 'll be right there . hey , look , i 'm , uh -- i know we have a lot we got to figure out , but ... i 'm glad we talked . lulu : me , too . alexis : let 's not start this again . julian : i have been attracted to you from the moment i saw you at the floating rib when you were just this woman who looked vaguely familiar to me and i could n't put my finger on it . but now that i know who you are -- to me , to sam -- you look me in the eye and you tell me you do n't feel it . alexis : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm gon na look over here , and i 'm gon na say that you -- you have an uncanny ability to rewrite history , because `` love at first sight at the roadhouse `` ? seriously ? [ sighs ] you lied to me for months . julian : i had to . you know that . alexis : you did it to save your ass . julian : that 's not fair . alexis : oh , was it fair when you knew that i kind of liked you and then you started flaunting it with carly ? julian : [ sighs ] no . alexis : no , you did n't do it , or , no , it was n't fair ? julian : yes , i did , and you know why -- because of sonny . alexis : charming . julian : do n't you understand ? i 've never been interested in carly . the only person i 'm interested in ... is you . duke : the last thing in the world i want is to lose anna . but , you know , there is a part of me -- no small part of me -- that is willing to give up anything to make her happy -- anything but this . i need to be my own man . i need to be able to look in the mirror and i need to be able to look at a man who 's prepared to do whatever it takes to protect the people that he loves . sonny : you 're preaching to the choir . when it comes to our loved ones , we got to do what it takes . duke : either by the book ... or on the wrong side of the law . unfortunately , i do n't think anna 's willing to cross that line . anna : we both know i 'm not above bending the law . i - i should have let the wsb handle faison , but , no , i wanted to take it all on myself . robert : what 's with all the i 's ? i mean , you were n't in that alone . anna : i know , because i forced you to go along with it . robert : and you were right to . anna : do you honestly think that ? robert : i looked at the options . we needed to protect our own . anna : oh , my god . that is precisely what duke claims he 's doing . robert : did you tell him to butt out and let the authorities handle it ? anna : yes , and his response to that was we were n't . robert : ew . that 's a low blow . anna : i know , but it 's accurate , actually . i mean , really . we have n't managed to bring julian to justice . robert : but that does n't mean that you wo n't . anna : and it also does n't mean that i can turn a blind eye while duke conspires with known criminals . robert : what are you going to do ? anna : i do n't know . i mean , he -- he 's not gon na back down . robert : neither are you , by the sound of it . you know , baby , i 'm so sorry that you are dealing with this right now . you deserve a lot better . anna : i know . i 'm just so glad you 're here . robert : well , uh , that 's part of the reason i called in . i have to tell you something . anna : what ? robert : i 'm leaving port charles . lucy : let me help you with that . scott : no , no , i - i got it . lucy : are you okay ? scott : no . my son -- [ scoffs ] it sounds so strange to even say that , but he is -- he 's about to be arrested for what happened to carly . lucy : do you believe he 's innocent ? scott : i do n't know . lucy : so , uh , what -- what can i do ? scott : nothing . you know , scratch that . you can do something . lucy : okay . name it . scott : you can go home to your husband , because that 's what you 've been wanting to do since you got here . kevin : franco ? franco : thank god it 's you . kevin : you were expecting someone else ? franco : well , yeah . maybe one of your patients . kevin : tina ! you saw tina ? franco : yeah . tina . and she 's -- well , she 's very nice . but enough about her . did you figure out what 's next ? do you have a plan ? kevin : yes . i 'm sorry . franco : why would you be sorry ? duke : there was a time way back when , when anna was willing to skirt the law . sonny : get out of here . ms. police commissioner ? duke : well , you know , she began her law - enforcement career as a double agent , but that was a long time ago . she was league with robert then . sonny : scorpio . well , he 's the reason that jerome went into hiding , strategizing about his big return . duke : yeah , robert was only following orders , up to a point . i mean , his ethics are flexible . he 'll do whatever he has to do -- you know , maybe it 's a good idea he 's in town now . maybe he 'll convince her of what needs to be done . anna : you 're leaving ? you just got here . robert : well , i would n't say `` just . `` anna : you know what i mean . robert : well , apparently holly 's been helping ethan out of a jam over the last few months . anna : yeah , i heard about that . robert : well , it 's gotten worse . anna : i see . robert : they need help . anna : what about luke ? robert : i have n't seen him around for a while . that kind of leaves me . anna : okay . well , i 'm proud of you , that you 're gon na go help holly and ethan , after the lies they fed you about him . robert : that was tough . finally learning that ethan was n't my son , especially when we -- we both thought that we 'd lost robin . anna : yeah . robert : however , i understand that she was by my bedside for the better part of a year . anna : holly was . that 's true . but she would never have left if it had n't been that ethan was in trouble . robert : whatever 's gone down between us is water under the bridge . anna : when are you leaving ? robert : tomorrow morning . i thought whatever goodbyes we were gon na do , we should do them now . alexis : i ca n't . i 'm not . julian : why not ? because i 'm a criminal ? alexis : yep . julian : that never stopped you before . in fact , you yourself admitted that the , uh , bad - boy thing is a draw . you know , maybe -- maybe that 's the problem . you know , maybe i 'm just not , um ... dangerous enough . alexis : oh , dear . julian : i tell you what . alexis : what ? julian : you tell me to stop ... and i will stop . alexis : do n't ... stop . scott : i 'm wrong ? you did n't just say that ? lucy : no , i - i did . i said that . scott : you were on your way out of here 30 minutes ago , so why do n't you finish what you started ? lucy : i was on my way out , but that was before kevin showed up with such upsetting news . scott : so now you should be with your husband . is that it ? lucy : [ sighs ] you know , it does n't mean that i can just stop . it does n't mean i can just n - not care about you . scott : what does it mean ? lucy : it means you 're my best friend , and it means you 're the father of my child , and you mean -- so much to me . scott : but i do n't mean enough . lucy : do n't do that . do not put words in my mouth like that . scott : well , then , lucy , you got to be straight with me here . i mean , if i mean so much to you and i 'm so important to you -- i - i - i want you , lucy . i - i love you . lucy : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i - i just had no idea this was gon na get all so complicated . scott : it 's a little late , do n't you think ? franco : you set me up ? dante : robert frank , a.k.a . franco , you 're under arrest . you have the right to remain silent ... franco : you said you were gon na handle this . kevin : i did . franco : this is how you handle things ? kevin : i 'm sorry , franco . doctor / patient confidentiality -- franco : sorry ? confidentiality ? ! i trusted you . kevin : i had no choice . dante : do you understand these rights as i have explained them to you ? franco : yes , i understand exactly what 's happened . anna : is there some way that you can accidentally put emma 's didgeridoo into your carry - on ? robert : [ laughing ] and deprive our granddaughter of part of her musical heritage ? anna : robin 's gon na strangle you . robert : yeah , i know . i hate leaving you like this . anna : it 's fine . i 'm just dealing with a little blip in my personal life . that 's all . robert : oh , lavery 's a blip now ? anna : yeah . i 'm fine . this is a happy time . robin 's alive , and she 's home ... because of you and me . robert : we still make a great team . you know that ? anna : we make the best team . robert : i 'm glad we had this adventure together . anna : yeah , me , too . good luck , okay ? robert : see you around , kid . anna : hey , robert . you be careful , okay ? robert : come on . where 's the fun in that ? anna : [ chuckles ] robert : [ laughing ] duke : but i apologize for taking up your time with all of this . sonny : we 're on the same side . what affects you , affects me . duke : i appreciate that . sonny : that 's why i 'm gon na give you an out , okay ? i - i can handle jerome . duke : you do n't have to . sonny : even if it means your relationship with anna ? duke : i 'll risk it . i 'd rather have anna alive and hate me than not have her around at all . sonny : now , you sure ? duke : i 'm positive . none of us are safe , especially anna , as long as julian is a threat . alexis : oh , my god . julian : what ? alexis : oh , my god . what is wrong with me ? ! julian : nothing is wrong with you . alexis : [ breathing heavily ] i have to go . julian : no , you do n't . alexis : yes , i do . i am not doing this . julian : why ? why ? alexis : i - i am not getting involved with you . julian : `` this `` ? someone in the dark side ? alexis : no . with you .

[ scene_break ] maxie : so , you think dante got called out on an assignment without nathan ? lulu : maybe . maxie : lulu , what 's going on ? lulu : dante and i got into it earlier . maxie : i 'm sure that 's not the reason dante is late , okay ? it could n't have been that big of a fight . lulu : it was about johnny . maxie : oh . lulu : yeah . maxie : does dante still want you to sell the haunted star ? lulu : he has n't actually suggested it again , but i know that 's what he 's hoping . maxie : so it 's just hanging out there , unresolved . i hate that . lulu : [ sighs ] i ca n't sell this place . there 's too much of my family history here , not to mention that i love it . planning events and running them , watching everybody enjoying themselves ... i get it . okay . i would not like it if dante was on a stakeout with someone that he used to date , but it is not like something is going to happen between me and johnny . okay ? i love dante . dante should know that . maxie : maybe dante 's worried johnny will pull you into something illegal . lulu : johnny swears that he is starting over and that he has nothing to do with the mob anymore . maxie : yeah . that 's nice . and i sincerely hope that 's true , but johnny 's been unable to pull himself away from the mob for a long time now . and dante 's a cop . so i can see how he 'd be ... skeptical ? lulu : dante is way past skeptical . he 's out - and - out suspicious . if he 's not careful , dante could progress to full - blown paranoia on the subject of johnny . maxie : [ chuckles ] well , honestly , nathan is not that big a fan of johnny , either . [ scene_break ] nathan : ah , jake doe , the victim in our car vs. pedestrian last september . carly : yeah , that 's right . yeah . nathan : he 's employed at your hotel , is he not ? carly : he is . yeah , he is . he works as a bartender , and he 's staying in one of the rooms . he has no talent in mixing drinks , but he 's a hard worker , and the customers love him . nathan : is ... he in some sort of trouble ? carly : possibly . i 'm not sure . nathan : look , there , um ... there has to have been a reason for you to have come down here . i ca n't help you if you do n't tell me what it is . carly : i know , and you 're right . i 've gone as far as i can go with this on my own . nathan : gone as far as you can with what , exactly ? carly : i have reason to believe ... that it was jake who helped faison escape from police custody .

[ breathes deeply ] true , we did n't hold the title , but you know luke . he could 've caused trouble . but you -- you made him see that he was letting his bad history with the house blind him from what i was trying to do . you ... helped him see that , by tearing down that house ... i do n't know -- maybe it would help get rid of some of the demons he left haunting that place .

[ scene_break ] nathan : yeah , dante spoke with sam morgan about a month ago . sam suspected that jake was the gunman , but she did n't have any proof . carly : yeah , i know all about sam 's accusations . i thought they were totally unfounded . i mean , faison killed her husband , and the gunman helped faison escape , so sam was looking for payback . i just thought she arbitrarily fixated on jake . i mean , how many people can walk into a police station , take someone hostage , hold the police force off , and drive away with a valuable prisoner ? nathan : agreed . but have you seen anything out of jake that would indicate he has that kind of skill set ? carly : yes , there was this one incident . i did n't think anything about it at the time . i was at the metro court , and this man accosted me , and he was belligerent -- up in my face , he grabbed my arm -- and jake just took him down . i mean , it was so fast . one second , this man is in my face , and the next second , jake has slammed his head down on the table . nathan : and you were n't concerned ? carly : no . i mean -- not at the time , i was n't , because jake -- he just seemed so ... quiet . he did -- almost apologetic . and he was concerned that he made too big of a disturbance , but he dealt with the guy and sent him away , and everything was fine after that . nathan : would you ... would you describe the way he handled it as professional ? carly : possibly , yeah . nathan : because the gunman that took sam hostage and shot me was extremely professional . carly : i know . i know you were shot , and that 's why i wanted to talk to dante . that 's not true . [ chuckles ] no , that 's not true . i -- i wanted to wait so i could talk myself out of doing this , but i have to do this . i mean , actually , i think he would want me to do this . nathan : jake ? carly : yes . i do n't believe that jake is in control of his own actions . nathan : why would you say that ? carly : well , besides sam 's accusations and now mine ... you do n't have any leads on the gunman , do you ? nathan : not much we can do without evidence . carly : well , uh ... i think i have your evidence ... right here . [ scene_break ] lulu : i 'll take care of that . thank goodness . hi . jason : hi . lulu : you can put all of that right over there . jason : okay . lulu : i know you . i mean , we have n't actually met , but you work for my cousin , carly , over at the metro court , right ? jason : that 's right . i 'm jake . lulu : hi , jake . i 'm lulu . i 'm surprised my cousin let you out from behind the bar . does she know you 're moonlighting with a caterer ? jason : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , i have a very large outstanding hospital bill , so i 've got to pick up work where i can . lulu : in that case , welcome aboard . jason : thank you . lulu : right over there . jason : you got it .

[ jake kneels down to sam who lies unconscious on the basement floor . ] | franco is able to convince not only elizabeth but sam as well , that jake has some `` issues `` and may be dangerous , by what he 's seen him draw in art therapy . jason also agrees with that when he looks at his son 's drawings only made in black markers of negative , dark and troublesome expressions . jason specifically takes note of a woman whom it appears jake has drawn who resembles sam , as he remembers his son 's angry outburst at sam and his telling his parents that she is `` bad `` and wants to break up their family . right then , sam goes to the house to talk to elizabeth . she is not there and jake is alone when he answers the door . sam notices a window broken and jake has cut his hand . she can see that the windows was broken from inside and knows he broke it and is lying about the break - in . she attempts to talk to him but he runs down the basement stairs . sam runs down the stairs after him and falls , wearing her spiked heels and is hurt and unconscious on the floor . only jake is there making it clear he does not intend to help her and might want her to die alone without anybody knowing or doing anything . kristina is keeping a secret about her professor from both her mom and sister . while alexis wants to take legal action against the city and file a suit in olivia 's behalf for the mayor attempting to prevent and arrest olivia for breastfeeding her baby in public , mayor lomax goes to talk to dante . he tells her he backs his mom 100 % and will not be intimidated by any threats she makes to him for doing so . at that point , the mayor tells olivia she will take action against her by canceling all future events scheduled at the metro court , which olivia is not happy with . lulu is determined to get her marriage back even though dante has already called a lawyer to draw up divorce papers . she and maxie go to the empty apartment to plan a romantic surprise dinner to get dante back with lulu but discover the divorce papers . they notice , however , that he has not yet signed so there is hope . maybe he will reconsider and get back with lulu yet . |

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : is this your version of asserting your power , separating a mother from her children ? you want revenge , come after me . i 'm the one you hate , the man who took what you love most . sonny : is that what this has been all along , a fight with me you could actually win ? could n't take my business , so you took my faithless wife ? huh ? not much of a triumph but , hey , you know what ? enjoy your victory . but carly 's the last thing you take from me . my sons are off - limits to both of you . lorenzo : carly is their mother . sonny : well , she should 've thought of that before i saw you guys sucking face ! lorenzo : you know , you are the worst kind of hypocrite , corinthos . you claim to be a principled man who lives by a code of honor , but instead of fighting me , you 're willing to beat up on a woman and her children ? [ scene_break ] sam : what 's with the injured - wife routine ? you betrayed your husband with another man , his worst enemy , if i 've got my facts straight . sonny 's done with you , he 's free . so am i . there is nothing left to say . carly : ok , well , i would n't get all comfy and cozy with sonny , if i were you . has he bothered to mention brenda yet ? because the two of you look enough alike to be sisters -- same height , same build , same dark hair -- although brenda 's was more stylish , but i 'm sure that sonny did not notice that difference in the dark . sam : well , you are some nasty little bitch . carly : no , actually , i 'm being pretty nice , and i imagine that the resemblance to brenda was also the hook for jax . sam : ok , now you 're stretching . carly : you 'll probably have more time with sonny than you did jax because sonny is a practical man . brenda 's gone . so am i . you 'll do for now , but do n't think that you 're in it for the long haul , because you will lose sonny just the same way that you lost out on jax . sam : oh , yeah ? why is that ? carly : because you 're not brenda . no one is . brenda , the illusive ghost she is . she 's incandescent . oh , she is unattainable and unforgettable and sonny and jax , they have her so high up on a pedestal , you can not see her until she comes back down and is in your face . and let me tell you something else -- she always comes back . always . so , you may be sharing sonny 's bed right now , but just do yourself a favor and never forget that you are a substitute , and you always will be . [ scene_break ] jason : what about michael and morgan ? you gave carly your word that you would take care of them , and probably the reason that they 're not upset is because they know that you 're here . and as far as morgan goes , you have been the one constant in his life . courtney : that 's not true . i mean , they have you , jason . jason : well , yeah , sometimes , but mostly i 'm working . you know , those kids need someone who 's going to be here all the time . look , they 're not going to understand what 's going on with their parents , why -- why sonny wo n't let carly into the house . courtney : but sonny 's angry right now . maybe he 'll come to his senses . jason : then what happens to michael and morgan in the meantime ? courtney : please , jason , do n't make me feel any guiltier than i already do . i really could n't live with myself if zander got killed for something that i did . jason : i mean , i just -- i wish you would change your mind . courtney : are n't you the one who 's always saying that people have the right to make their own choices ? jason : look , i ca n't -- oh , i ca n't tell you not to turn yourself in . so i 'm asking you . you were in that alley because of me . you fired that gun to save my life . please do n't do this . courtney : i have to .

[ scene_break ] brian : why are you so interested in my shooting ? maxie : i know zander , sort of . it 's really hard for me to believe that he would shoot a policeman . brian : well , desperate people do desperate things . maxie : yeah , well , i was just thinking that maybe you just thought it was zander and it was some other guy with dark hair ? you know , like a case of mistaken identity and everybody 's just wanting to believe that it 's zander because they hate him for other reasons . brian : for example ? maxie : ric lansing . i know for a fact that he would love to see zander in prison . ric : really ? why would you think so ? maxie : um -- i was just telling detective beck that i know zander a little . ric : how did i end up in this conversation ? maxie : well , zander mentioned that you hate him because he once hooked up with elizabeth . ric : really ? when was that exactly ? maxie : i do n't know . it was -- um -- a while ago , though . but i should really get back to work .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : are you even thinking of your children , or is this all about your ego ? sonny : morgan does n't know carly enough yet to miss her and michael , he 's a tough kid ; he 's been separated from her before . it 's not going to be easy , but he 'll deal . lorenzo : well , he wo n't have to , because there is no way in hell i 'm going to stand by and watch carly lose her kids . sonny : well , i guess we 're at a stalemate , are n't we ? because there 's no way in hell i 'm going to let her -- or especially you -- take them . your boyfriend 's waiting . carly : oh , i 'm not sure i can say the same thing about your girlfriend . yeah , sam and i , we had a little chat . i told her that -- that she means nothing to you , and she now knows that , and that she never will .

[ scene_break ] lucky : our suspect is zander smith , last seen wearing a dark suit . he is on foot suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg . he 's also wanted in connection to an officer - involved shooting . he 's armed -- i repeat , he is armed and should be considered extremely dangerous . emily : i 'm so grateful neither one of you was hurt . nikolas : we could 've been , and jax almost was . you should n't have held me back , emily . the two of us could 've overpowered zander and this whole thing would 've been resolved without incident . lucky : can somebody please fill me in ? how are you involved in this ? jax : i was walking by , i heard loud voices , and i saw that zander was pointing a gun at nikolas and emily so i jumped him . when he struggled for the gun , it went off . i think it hit zander . he managed to hold on to the gun and line up a second shot at me , and the gun jammed . lucky : you think he intended to kill you ? jax : at the time , absolutely . lucky : then our boy 's facing two counts of attempted murder . [ scene_break ] sonny : my relationship with sam is none of your business , carly . stay away from her . carly : you 're not having a relationship . you 're sleeping with sam because she 's a dead ringer for brenda . sonny : is that what you told her ? carly : i felt she had a right to know . sonny : really ? carly : mm - hmm . sonny : well , you 're wrong , as usual , because when i see sam , i do n't see brenda . i see a beautiful , passionate woman who does n't lie about who she is or what she wants . nice change of pace , is n't it ? carly : hmm . well , if she has any sense she will be gone by the time you get upstairs , and if she is dumb enough to stay , then she deserves the heart- stomping that she will eventually get with you . she 's not good enough , sonny . she 's not going to be enough for you , because no one ever is . that hole inside of you is so deep and it is so embedded , no woman could ever hope to fill it up . she is n't going to be good enough . she 's not going to be loyal enough , and she certainly will not be strong enough to ease your pain or to fix you in all the ways that you are broken . you are wrecked inside , sonny , and eventually you wreck everyone around you . but not my children , sonny . you will not do that to my boys . sonny : forget about them . as of now , you have no children . carly : do n't you even try it . michael and morgan are mine . i carried them , i gave birth to them , and i love them more than anything in this world , and you -- sonny : you do n't love anybody but yourself and alcazar . carly : oh , you are so full of it . sonny : kids are just something you can -- carly : you -- sonny : hey , hey , hey , hey ! do me a favor , al ? keep your slut away from me . carly : oh , you sick -- you sick bastard ! let me go ! you 're sick ! sonny : yeah , yeah , yeah .

even your children , right ? i mean -- i mean , if your father can abandon you , then your sons will , too . is n't that why you gave them up ? so they could n't leave you first ? heather : giving up steven lars and franco was the worst thing i 've ever done . carly : i know , but you did the one thing your father did n't do -- you came back . you came back because you could n't stop loving them . and now franco -- he 's done the same thing your father did , right ? he put another woman first , and now you 're punishing franco the way you could n't punish your father . heather : oh , you just think you 've got me all figured out , do n't you ? carly : hurting franco by hurting me -- it 's not gon na win him back . heather : maybe i do n't want to . carly : yes , you do . you want it more than anything . you can break this cycle , heather , but you have to do one thing . you 've got to let me go . morgan : maybe you can explain it . kiki : explain what ? morgan : franco . okay ? they caught him . he 's not going anywhere , so as long as he keeps trying to pull this `` i 'm innocent `` crap , the worse his chances get to make a deal , so he should just tell us where my mom is . kiki : oh , maybe he ca n't because he does n't know where she is because he did n't do anything to her . morgan : [ scoffs ] are you ser -- are you serious ? you still believe that psycho ? do you need to read the article again , kiki ? they found a knife with my mom 's blood on it and his prints on it . how are you still in this guy 's corner ? kiki : first , i 'm in your mother 's corner , and if franco did do it , then , yes , i would want him to confess . but if he did n't , then there 's still a psycho out there , morgan , which means that your mom is more and more trouble and danger by the minute . i believe that franco loves your mother . he would never want to hurt her . all he has been trying to do is find her . morgan : [ crinkles newspaper ] yeah . all right . whatever . kiki : fine . why are you even surprised that i feel this way ? did n't -- did n't michael already tell you this ? morgan : tell me when ? kiki : tell you this morning when he came over here to see your dad ? morgan : i have n't seen him . michael : where is she ? ! franco : michael , michael . i do n't know where she is , i swear . michael : you 're a lying son of a bitch ! franco : i do n't know where she is . let him go . let him go . let him go . michael : he has my mother ! hey , let him go , or you will end up sharing a cell with that guy . now , get out of here , okay ?

sam : well , for starters , you forged a prescription for liquid antidepressants , written out for silas , on silas ' pad , the same medication that nina was taking in a pill form , and then you went in , and you shot nina up and made it look like she o.d . 'd . ava : i did n't ... sam : no . ava : ... although i do respect the ingenuity . sam : then you went to the pharmacist to have the prescription filled , but you had the pharmacist lie to say that silas brought it in . ava : sam , why would i do that ? sam : you wanted to kill nina clay so you could have silas all to yourself . but nina did n't die , did she ? no , and then silas dumped you , and all these years later , you 're still out for revenge . ava : oh , now , that does sound a bit more like me , but , still , no . sam : you tried to set silas up . do you realize he could spend the rest of his life in prison ? i mean , do you really hate him that much ? ava : oh , no , sam . not at all . i care about silas -- not like i once did , not like you do now . sam : okay . what 's changed ? ava : i found somebody else . [ chuckles ] no one 's more surprised than i am , but i moved on . sam : [ scoffs ] ava : and when i did , i let silas go . and i wish the two of you nothing but the best , and i hope that you can surmount his past . sam : so you really expect me to believe that silas tried to murder his wife to be with you ? ava : oh , no . silas would n't try to kill nina for me ... but he would do it for nina 's money . heather : why would i ever let you go ? carly : so you do n't lose your son . heather : i 've already lost him because of you . you snaked your way into my son 's life , and he forsook me , his own mother . he loves you more than me . carly : that 's not true . heather : he killed me for you ! has he ever killed anyone for me ? no . proves my point . carly : did he tell you what happened the night of the art show ? heather : you do n't need to nauseate me with the gory details . carly : he was a mess . finding out that scott baldwin was his father was a huge blow , and then finding out that you were his mother -- heather : made him clearly overjoyed . carly : honestly , he did n't know what to think or feel . but the one thing he never understood finally made sense -- why you loved him so much . and then he realized how much he owed you and how grateful he was for everything you 've done for him . heather : and he thanked me by stabbing me in the gut with a knife . well , he 's about to discover that payback 's a bitch ... and so am i . silas : that was a little rough . franco : what , with michael ? yeah , it 's just kind of how we are . he kind of hates my guts , and i kind of deserve it . silas : why is that ? franco : [ sighs ] i - i wanted to hurt someone , and he was inadvertently hurt in the process . let 's just leave it at that . silas : fair enough . franco : you know , maybe michael has n't had a chance to turn carly against me yet , but sooner or later , he 'll turn kiki against me , and then she 'll hate me , and i 'll deserve that , too . silas : you know , you should have a little more faith in kiki . i mean , bizarrely , she 's stood by you so far . franco : yeah . silas : has she ever let you down once ? franco : no . you are so lucky to have a daughter like her . kiki : michael is n't here ? morgan : does it look like michael 's here , kiki ? kiki : well , he told me that he was gon na come here this ... morgan : [ scoffs ] what do you know ? i guess i 'm not the only corinthos brother that lied to you . that 's funny , because i thought you and michael told each other everything . kiki : [ sighs ] i have to go find him . [ sighs ] morgan : hey . hey . i 'm sorry . okay ? that was a cheap shot . i just -- i got my own stuff going on right now i do n't want to think about . kiki : hmm . like my mother ? morgan : what ? no . why would i -- no , i -- it 's -- that 's over . i - i went back home , and my dad made it clear that that had to end , so that 's -- that 's over with . kiki : it still does n't make it any easier . morgan : nope . kiki : you really cared about her , did n't you ? morgan : yeah , i still do . ava : silas never mentioned that nina was as rich as midas -- that she put him through med school when he did n't have a penny to his name ? sam : actually , silas told me all about that . ava : well , then ... if it walks like a duck ... sam : so what ? nina had money . that 's not necessarily a - a motive for murder . ava : what about a will leaving everything to silas in the event of nina 's death ? open your eyes , sam . silas has played you for a fool . nikolas : oh , whoa ! hey , hey ! where do you think you 're going ? cameron : outside . spencer : to play . elizabeth : oh , not with that poker , you 're not . nikolas : give me these . what ... elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : no more . spencer : but we need those . nikolas : you do n't . what you need is to have your heads examined , okay ? get out of here . no more playing with sharp objects . go on . what ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] nikolas : you were saying ?

brad : the case of the missing phoenix . nathan : i can take it from here , london . hey , can you check on a prisoner transfer for me ? officer london : sure . who ? nathan : madeline reeves . she 's being transferred here from pentonville tonight . officer london : i 'll check it out . nathan : thanks . jake : you turned me in , huh ? carly : you were supposed to see dr. collins . i went to look for him . i came back , you were gone . why ? where did you go ? jake : i guess i thought he was n't gon na show up . carly : you never met with dr. collins the first time . jake : yes , i did . carly , you were there . you were waiting for me . i was n't waiting in an empty office for 45 minutes . carly : i do n't know who you think you met with , but it was n't kevin collins . jake : [ clears throat ] nikolas : ivy , this is ... helena : i 'm a friend of the cassadine family . well , you two heading out to the launch ? having a quiet evening at home ? nikolas : no . actually , we 're going to luke 's party on the haunted star . fluke : my apologies for not making it earlier . lulu : you 're not the only one who 's late . dante is n't here yet , either . fluke : oh , yeah , about dante . i ran into him over at the old homestead . tracy : wait a minute . is that where you were all this time ? i thought it was condemned . that 's what michael said . fluke : yes , it is condemned . and dante and i talked about that . lulu : did he also tell you when he 'd be getting here ? fluke : i 'm really sorry , darling . dante is n't going to make it . lulu : dante is n't coming ? tracy : maybe he 's dealing with that arrest . lulu : no . nathan said he has n't seen dante all day . what is going on , dad ? did something happen to him at the house ? fluke : ah , yeah , something did happen . he told me that he does n't like the idea of you and johnny zacchara working together . lulu : [ sighs ] so , he 's not coming tonight because of johnny ? fluke : well , he 's afraid that if he sees the two of you with your heads together , it 's just gon na set him off , and he 'll mess up the whole party . lulu : but he could n't tell me that himself ? what 's that about ? fluke : well , he said there was no point in it because there 's really nothing to talk about . lulu : oh . well , we 'll see about that . [ cell phone ringing ] jake : i remember everything that happened that day . you were with sam , by the nurses station . i went into dr. collins 's office . he was there . i talked to him . he said i had nothing to worry about . he said that i was out looking for a job the entire afternoon faison escaped . i am not the gunman who took you hostage . sam : he said that ? a doctor would know that after one session ? jake : he said that the only way that i 'd have little flashes of being the gunman is because you planted them in my head . sam : oh . patrick : that 's convenient . so now you 're blaming sam ? jake : carly , you know this . i told you everything that collins said . carly : dr. collins was called out the office on an emergency that day . you did n't see him . whatever you think you remember , it did n't happen . jake : yeah , well ... hey , dr. collins . thank you for seeing me on such short notice . helena : well , it 's always a pleasure to see you . ivy : i 'm so impressed with the work michael quartermaine is doing . i 'm happy to support his new clinic . helena : yes , it 's a very worthy cause . nikolas , may i have a word with you in private ? nikolas : i have a date . it would be rude of me to leave her standing out here in the cold . ivy : i appreciate the concern . he 's always so gallant . but the boat 's right over there . i 'll just meet you inside . nikolas : are you sure ? ivy : yeah , no problem . nikolas : have you forgotten that you 're a fugitive ? helena : nikolas , you can not go to that party ! fluke : shall we mingle ? lulu : dante , i need to talk to you . are you really not coming because of johnny ? if i had n't heard it from my own father , i would n't believe it . call me . johnny : you okay ? lulu : no , i 'm not . dante : [ groans ] [ panting ] luke ? tracy : tell me . what were you doing at your old house all that time , aside from listening to dante rant about johnny ? fluke : i was saying goodbye to the old place . it 's gon na be gone soon . tracy : that 's a good thing . fluke : i 'm starting to think that you are right . tracy : what is that on your cuff ? oh , is that blood ? franco : who 's bill eckert ? and why is he in a long list of people who want to kill ava ? julian : he 's a ringer for spencer . he 's after me , ava , and sonny . he also threatened to kill sonny 's son and mine . sonny : if he finds out we escaped , he 's going to do that sooner rather than later . so , we have to warn lucas and michael . ava : give him the phone ! franco : what about it ? sonny : i ca n't call michael , because i tried that . last time i talked to him , he would n't listen . and worse , he told the impostor what i said . give me the phone , man . give me the phone ! ava : give him the phone . sonny : okay . do me a favor . call lucas . tell him about luke 's impostor and to try to make michael understand . franco : you know , it 's not safe talk on the phone while you 're driving . tracy : that is blood , luke . what have you been up to ? dante : [ groans ] fluke : that 'll keep you quiet for a while ... at least long enough . oh , no , do n't be ghoulish , darling . that 's not blood . it 's cocktail sauce . when i came in , i grabbed a shrimp . i must have gotten sloppy . i 'll go wash it off . lucas : hey , pops . can you hear me okay ? it 's kind of loud in here . julian : lucas , listen to me . where are you right now ? lucas : i 'm at the haunted star . uncle luke is throwing a benefit party for the new clinic -- the one michael 's building on the waterfront . julian : is spencer there with you right now ? lucas : yeah . why ? jake : maybe you 're right . maybe dr. collins was n't there . nathan : now we 're getting somewhere . carly : are you having a new memory , one of those flashes ? jake : dr. collins was n't there , but somebody else was . nathan : who ? detective west ? nathan : yeah ? officer london : i called pentonville . the van ms. reeves was supposed to be on was hijacked by four other prisoners . julian : listen , lucas . you got to listen to me right now , okay ? you got to get out of there . lucas : hello ? dad ? i think i lost you . julian ? hey , can you hear me ? julian : lucas . lucas , listen to me . i ca n't explain the whole thing to you right now , but this luke spencer wants to kill you and michael . you need to get michael and get the hell off that boat . do you hear me ? lucas ? hel -- hello , lucas ? sonny : what is it ? julian : [ sighs ] the damn thing 's out of juice . franco used all the juice . sonny : [ sighs ] lucas : hello ? michael : hey , something wrong ? lucas : yeah , my dad just called me , and he sounded really scared . but we got disconnected before he could tell me what was going on . michael : well , call him back . lucas : i ca n't . it was from an unknown number . it 's not the usual pentonville phone . michael : yeah . yeah , it must have been a bootleg call . sonny called me from a secret phone the other day . [ piano playing soft jazz in background ] johnny : i 'm sorry dante 's not coming . i wish there was something i could do . lulu : he has never just shut me out like this before . i do n't know what i 'm going to do if he ca n't get over this . johnny : i know what you need . a drink , right ? one martini coming right up . dirty , huh ? [ cell phone ringing ] dante : luke ? [ groans ] luke , are you okay ? johnny : what the hell did you do ? do you see how upset lulu is ? did dante really tell you that he 's a no - show because of me ? fluke : screw that noise . i just talked to my man at pentonville . i was gon na tell him to boost jerome 's phone . he tells me that jerome and corinthos have busted out . they 're coming for me , johnny . johnny : no , no , no . see too bad for them that they 're using my phone . i can find them in the touch of an app . fluke : oh , finally , some good news . johnny : yeah ! [ laughs ] fluke : great . okay . so , get over there and get that idiot rivera pried loose from his chica bonita and let 's stop those losers . johnny : yes , sir ! sonny : you think lucas heard you about spencer , and he 's gon na warn michael or not ? julian : i do n't know . i do n't know . sonny : what do you mean you do n't know ? julian : they 're both there right now with luke or bill eckert or whoever the hell he is . ava : are they alone ? julian : no , there 's a party of some kind . sonny : we got to get to the boat . franco : no . we 're going to see nina . heather : they 're perfect ! blood red suits you . nina : what do you mean your name is n't diana ? heather : no . i 'm not diana taylor . when i was younger , i had a baby -- a boy . diana taylor is the woman who adopted him , and she named him steven lars . nina : what happened ? why did you give your baby up for adoption ? heather : oh , i did n't give him up . i sold him on the black market . nina : you sold your baby ? heather : i was really strapped for cash . nina : that 's horrible . heather : i regretted it . i did everything you could possibly imagine to get that boy back from diana . nina : like i did with ava , right ? right ? i loved that baby more than anything . heather : but i never did get him back . i was n't able to raise him or my other son . nina : you have another son ? heather : yes . i sold him , too . nina : but you said that you regretted selling the first one . heather : but this woman was desperate . she wanted a baby so much . you can understand that . nina : i understand that . heather : and that son grew up to be a famous -- well , infamous artist . nina : so , your other son is an infamous artist ? heather : yes . very avant - garde , pursued by collectors worldwide . you 'd have to be in a coma not to have heard of him . nina : so , you mean ... heather : i mean , my name is heather webber . my son is franco . franco : you got to take this exit . hey ! you got to take this exit ! that 's the way to nina ! sonny : we 're going straight to the haunted star . you want to get out ? feel free to jump . julian : we 've got company ! ava : what ? ! oh , my god . is it the cops ? nathan : take mr. doe here into the interrogation room . i got to get down to pentonville and see what happened . officer london : come on . jake : carly , i swear to you i never knowingly lied to you . okay ? i do n't know what i did or why , but ... you tried to help me . i 'm sorry . carly : i 'm sorry , too . jake : [ clears throat ] patrick : you okay ? sam : no , i 'm not okay . patrick : well , he 's -- he 's locked up right now , so it 's no need to worry . why do n't we go to the party ? sam : why do n't -- can you go alone for a minute ? i think i need to get some answers . patrick : okay , well , you know what ? i 'll wait here for you . sam : you know what ? it might be a while , and you have to tell lucas why i 'm not there at his big bash . patrick : i know better than to argue with you when you insist . so , i 'll see you soon , okay ? sam : okay . patrick : okay . sam : i 'll do my best . patrick : okay . [ door closes ] jake : you 're not gon na believe me , and i do n't blame you , but i do n't remember taking you hostage . sam : i do n't want to talk about that . i want to talk about this instead . nikolas : i can and will go to that party . helena : oh , darling ! just write a check . save yourself a boring evening . nikolas : see , that 's just it . it 's not going to be boring because it 's hosted by your new best friend , luke spencer . and he was quite vicious to me the last time we met , and i do n't trust him . i need to keep my eye on him . helena : i 'm afraid i ca n't allow that . nikolas : and i 'm afraid you ca n't stop me . helena : no ... but they can . gentlemen ? maxie : oh , that 's pretty good turnout . oh , who is she ? i love that dress ! lulu : thank you . maxie : no , no , no . not you , her . you look fabulous . did i give you that ? lulu : uh , maybe . maxie : what 's wrong with you ? lulu : nothing that i can do anything about right now . i need to focus on the party and make sure the hors d'oeuvres are circulating . maxie : did you track down dante ? lulu : my dad just told me that he is not coming tonight and that it is because of johnny . now , dante is not answering my calls or my texts . maxie : oh . dante : luke ? luke , are you okay ? come on ! luke . luke ... luke , can you hear me ? lulu : i do n't know what i 'm going to do about dante and johnny . but it is strange that dante would n't tell me himself that he was n't coming tonight . maxie : yeah , that is strange . and it turns out his boycott of the party was totally unnecessary because johnny 's not even here anymore . lulu : he left ? maxie : mm - hmm . i saw him tear out of here a little bit ago with sabrina 's date . julian : i do n't know , man . does n't look like cops . sonny : no lights , no sirens . whatever it is , they 're catching up to us . carly : i need to get home to my daughter . so , do you need anything else from me ? nathan : about jake doe ? no . carly : okay . do you have any word on the prison break ? nathan : yeah . no , i have to go do that right now . carly : okay , but who escaped ? detective , who ? nathan : ava jerome , julian jerome , franco , and sonny corinthos . franco : i think maybe you should go faster . julian : believe me . i 'm trying . the road is icy . franco : does n't seem to be slowing them down . ava : julian , look out ! [ horn honks ] ava : aah ! lucas : so , brad told me about the first time he ever met you , michael . i hear a little bit of an indecent proposal was involved ? brad : yeah , i 'm sorry about that . i was completely out of line . michael : bygones . i 'm glad you and my uncle found each other . brad : and i 'm glad you and lucas are getting this clinic off the ground . michael : yeah , thanks to luke spencer . actually , at first he was opposed to the idea , but now he 's throwing this party to support it . bobbie : i am proud of you , big brother ! i know it took a lot for you to give up our old family home for michael 's clinic . fluke : well , you were right , barbara jean . the past is dead and gone . and there 's nothing in that old house can hurt us anymore .

anna : hi . griffin : hi , anna . what brings you here ? anna : oh . [ clears throat ] just , uh , checking up on you . i have n't seen you since the wedding and ... i 'm sorry about how you found out about claudette 's death . i was hoping that i would be the one to break it to you , and i could maybe do it a little gently . not that it really matters , you know ? still going to be a shock , but ... um ... i brought these for you . griffin : [ chuckles ] geez . anna : a little token . griffin : thank you . wow . um , i could probably count on one hand the amount of times people have given me flowers . t - they 're b - beautiful . anna : i 'm sorry for your loss . i really am . i know you loved her . that love was all too brief . griffin : yeah . claudette made some mistakes . she did n't deserve to die like that . anna : no . she died too soon . i know you 're feeling angry and powerless . and i have been there . i completely relate to why you attacked valentin . [ scene_break ] nina : what do you think ? valentin : lovely and rustic . nina : you hate it . valentin : no , i do n't hate it . why would i hate it ? nina : well , because you have five - star tastes . valentin : no , you obviously do n't know the places i used to frequent . nina : when ? valentin : in my old life . before the cassadine money . i mean , pubs in ireland , holes in the wall in greece , istanbul , bulgaria . this place would be a palace in bulgaria . nina : you 're just saying that to make me feel good . valentin : no . i 'm saying it 'cause it 's true . now it 's your turn to be honest . why did you bring me here ? nina : the mac and cheese . so good . so much better than the metro court . valentin : sold . nina : thank you . valentin : we 'll have some mac and cheese and i guess , uh , beer ? nina : i 'll have a beer . valentin : all right . be right back . [ scene_break ] kiki : so then sam went after franco . and i told her not to go by herself , considering she 's pregnant and all , but she insisted . and she said that i could call the police after 15 minutes , but my phone died , so now it 's actually been much longer than that . nathan : okay . uh , take a breath . we 'll take it from the top . all right ? kiki : this is urgent . nathan : i -- and i hear you . just , uh , wait at the desk . i 'll be right with you , i promise . i got this . why do n't you , uh -- why do n't you get started on that warrant for alexis ? dante : i do n't really have a choice , do i ? nathan : well , i mean , you got the family tie to alexis , right ? unless you want me to handle it . dante : no , no , no , no . it 's okay . take kiki . i 'll take alexis . and we 'll see who gets to franco first . nathan : all right . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : do n't you want your brother 's killer caught as much as i do ? seth : franco killed my brother ! he knew the cops were closing in on him , so he ran ! elizabeth : no , he did n't . seth : he 's gone , elizabeth ! he ran away to save his own skin , and now he 'll never get punished for what he did to my brother . you better face it ! you 're never going to see him again ! elizabeth : you 're wrong , because franco would never leave , not without telling me . the only reason he 'd disappear is if something bad happened ... or if he 's dead . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . franco : i got it , i got it . sam : hey , talk to me , please . who did this to you ? was it julian ? franco : i told you , i have no idea . [ clears throat ] somebody snuck up from behind and knocked me out and dragged me here , 'cause they wanted me to die here . [ clears throat ] but you 're not really worried about it being julian . sam : what 's that supposed to mean ? franco : i think you 're worried about your mom . i think you 're afraid that she may have been involved with tom baker 's murder . [ scene_break ] dante : got to say , alexis , i 'm surprised to see you here , after you threatened to lawyer up earlier at your house . you change your mind ? alexis : i 'm fully prepared to cooperate with your investigation into the murder of tom baker . [ scene_break ] valentin : oh , i ordered us some mac and cheese . there 's a new pan coming , so it might take a minute . nina : oh , good . well , it gives us a moment to talk . valentin : about ? nina : well , i have been , um , doing my research , and there 's this great article on a website called `` telling your child about his or her birth via surrogacy . `` and they suggest you practice your story . valentin : well , that sounds promising . nina : yeah . so , this is my story . all right ? it goes like this . um , o - once upon a time , there was an egg that wanted to be a baby . and then there 's a plot twist in the story . uh , it 's how lulu did n't know that her egg was going to be an embryo and -- valentin : how about we just tell charlotte that the baby starts out as a tiny thing called an `` embryo `` and that sometimes the embryo has to be made in a process called `` in vitro . `` and then the embryo is put inside a woman to carry . claudette carried charlotte , but lulu made the embryo , so technically she 's the biological mother . nina : oh , no , no . i mean , if we tell charlotte that , she 's going to be hopelessly confused . valentin : of course . it 's ridiculous that somebody that young would have to know something like that . nina : i know , which is why i have a problem with lulu opening her mouth . valentin : and i agree with that . but what 's done is done . i think we need to focus on reassuring charlotte and letting her know that she 's loved , and she 's wanted , and that she 's never going to have to leave us . nina : you 're pretty amazing . you know that ? valentin : but not everybody agrees with you . [ scene_break ] anna : you do n't have to be guarded with me , you know ? you can tell me anything . lord knows i 've bent your ear on enough occasions . griffin : well , you 'll find this ironic . i preach to you and to so many other people the power of forgiveness , and i 'm continuously challenged by it in my own life . i mean , god help me , i ca n't forgive valentin . i know he is behind claudette 's death . there 's no way she committed suicide . [ sighs ] i need to -- i do n't know what to do . you know , like , i need to do something . i need to f - find some answers , anything . anna : okay . so let me handle that . you know , i mean , valentin , he gave up some of his secrets at the wedding , did n't he ? and that has given me a place to start investigating , and so i will get answers . griffin : well , y - you said you believe valentin came here for revenge ? anna : i know . that 's my assumption . ' course , he claims the opposite , that he 's grateful , that my rejection of him kind of inspired him to remake himself and become the man that he is today . griffin : to remake himself into a murderer ? [ scoffs ] anna : hey . listen . you remember what the judge said to us at charlotte 's hearing ? `` in the absence of proof , you calling valentin a murderer is only your opinion . `` now , you can dislike him as much as you want , but if you continue to attack him , you 're going to be the one that ends up being arrested . griffin : claudette is dead and -- anna : shh ! griffin : you want me to sit here and do nothing ? anna : yes , that is exactly what i want you to do ! [ scene_break ] seth : your boyfriend 's not dead . he 's a liar . remember how he lied to me in the hospital ? he looked me straight in the eye and said he did n't do anything to tom when , the whole time , he had him captured in his studio . elizabeth : yes , and then he realized he went too far , and he went back to let tom go . but then tom turned the tables on him and escaped . seth : only to be killed . elizabeth : not by franco . seth : how can you believe a word he says ? after everything he 's done . how do you even trust him ? elizabeth : because he 's changed . he 's not the same man he was . seth : oh , yeah -- brain - tumor defense . elizabeth : and he has worked really hard to be better and to do better and to earn my trust . seth : so did tom before he was killed . franco never changed . all right ? it was all a lie . elizabeth : if you 're so convinced that franco could n't be redeemed , where does that leave your own brother ? [ scene_break ] kiki : please , just send somebody over there . they have to go to the self- storage place at 7502 thomas boulevard . franco is locked in there , okay ? please . you have to save him . nathan : okay , but why did n't you and sam call 911 ? why 'd she go there by herself ? kiki : sam wanted to go there to talk to him first . [ scene_break ] franco : the only reason that julian would want me out of the way was to protect alexis . right ? i mean , that 's why you 're asking about him , right ? sam : no . i - i think it 's my turn to ask you some questions . i mean , for some reason , you think my mother had something to do with tom baker 's murder or she knows something about it ? franco : she knows . she was there . sam : what is that supposed to mean ? franco : tom baker was killed in the alley behind a dive bar called gene 's branford roadhouse . sam : yeah . franco : and i went there to investigate , try and clear my name . and who should i run into ? but your mom . definitely out of place . definitely twitchy that i saw her there . and then i found a picture of your mom on the bar 's social- media site . there she was in the back of someone 's selfie -- alexis and tom baker . live and in color . that 's a hell of a coincidence . [ scene_break ] [ beep ] dante : this is detective falconeri . i 'm interviewing alexis davis . miss davis , you 've come forward to give a statement of your own free will . is that correct ? alexis : yes . dante : that 's good . i 'm glad you changed your mind and came forward . there 's an arrest warrant out for franco baldwin in connection to the murder of tom baker . but there 's increasing suspicion that somehow you may have been involved . alexis : i was involved . i killed tom baker . [ scene_break ] nina : if lulu did n't take the decision out of your hands , when were you going to tell charlotte where she came from ? valentin : someday . nina : oh , so you just had n't gotten there yet , right ? valentin : well , if i 'm going to tell you the story , you 're going to have to hear a convoluted family history . nina : lay it on me . valentin : okay . [ sighs ] uh , my father was mikkos cassadine . he died when i was very young . and one of the reasons i spent so much time in england was because he was hiding me from his harpy wife , helena . flash - forward to my demented brother stavros and his obsession with lulu . he wanted to have a baby with her . helena said that she would make that happen . lulu 's eggs were harvested , uh ... against her will . but they had a problem -- stavros was sterile . so helena looked to me . but i -- i was not going to participate in that . so she got a beautiful woman named daphne to find me in greece , couple of bottles of wine ... nina : oh . valentin : ... and a drug . and i 'm sure you can fill in the rest . nina : yeah , i got it . i understand . yeah . valentin : when i found out about the embryo , i was furious and i stole it . nina : just like that ? valentin : just like that . i 'm not going to let my child be raised under the thumb of helena cassadine . nina : i mean , y - you probably were n't thinking like this at the time , but you were already acting like a parent . [ scene_break ] anna : so much time so , my dossier on valentin , you know , it 's really filling out . and i now know that our time at the academy , the wsb , um , he went by the name of ivan theodore . griffin : so he 's not a cassadine ? anna : well , yeah , he is . i mean , he was shipped off to boarding school in england at the age of 6 . and he did so well there that he ended up at oxford , and his talent in linguistics landed him at the wsb . griffin : and do you know what happened after he left ? anna : yeah . interestingly enough , the boarding school that he attended had burned to the ground right afterwards . and arson is suspected , but no one was apprehended . griffin : and you think valentin was the arsonist ? anna : most definitely . and that was just the beginning . [ scene_break ] kiki : there 's still no answer . we have to go right now . nathan : `` we `` do n't have to do anything . you are going to stay here . my partner is busy , so i will take the lead on this one . but , hey , kiki , i got to know -- i mean , is there something else you 're not telling me here ? kiki : franco was suspicious of someone . he thought that she might 've been the one who killed tom baker . nathan : `` she `` ? kiki : yeah , he did n't say any names . he told me that he would n't point the finger at her because he had already hurt someone close to her before . and the way that sam acted when she saw that note , the way that she wanted to go talk to him first , i know that it has something to do with her . look , i just care that you find franco . okay ? i do n't care if you arrest him on the spot . i just need to make sure that he 's safe , okay ? nathan : okay .

[ scene_break ] alexis : the second time that i saw tom baker , i was also drunk . and this time , when he approached me , i -- i told him that i was n't interested . and i left . and then he followed me out into the alley and he grabbed me , and i screamed , and then he pulled out a knife . and i went crazy . um ...

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal was alarmed at the valkyrie 's cryptic and urgent summons . i assume it has to do with the damning document that proves dante and the divine one -- carly : jax went to london , okay ? he said he went on business . brenda claimed he went there to save her from the balkan . spinelli : how would he do that ? carly : jax supposedly gave interpol access to jerry 's financial records , which gave them a lead . i would n't put it past brenda to be lying through her teeth to cause problems between me and jax . i want to know the truth before i play into brenda 's hands . spinelli : enter the jackal . carly : i want you to trace every step that jax made in london . i want to know if jax lied to my face while he was helping that woman .

[ scene_break ] carly : it would n't surprise me if brenda was lying . i mean , that 's what she does , right ? she 's a liar . if she can lie about having a baby with dante , then she could certainly lie about jax . spinelli : it is with profound regret i must inform you that the divine one is not lying . according to interpol security records , jax did , indeed , make several visits to their london headquarters . carly : [ sighs ] okay . thanks . spinelli : i would counsel that jax is a devoted husband and father , as well as a man of principle and action . a white knight , as it were . qualities that you cherish in him would also be the qualities that might compel him to brenda 's rescue . but that does not mean that his motives are not what he claims . the impulse to help someone you care about does not necessarily translate into carnal intent . carly : jax knew how hard this was for me from the beginning . brenda is a problem for me . it may be irrational , but that 's the way it is . she pushes all my buttons , and i ca n't help it . she makes me feel insecure , and i hate it . and it makes me want to be better , and then , that causes me to act out , and i always get in trouble . and jax knows all of this , spinelli . he knows all of it . but it did n't matter . he made brenda a priority .

[ scene_break ] theo : perhaps siobhan is homesick for the emerald isle . maybe you should buy her a plane ticket . lucky : she ca n't go back to ireland . theo : and why is that ? lucky : well , you know as well as i do that siobhan 's been targeted by the balkan . she was taken hostage by his people . and the police are no closer to catching the bastard than they were the first time he reared his ugly head . theo : yes , there is that . and where do i come in ? lucky : i was hoping for some reinforcement . you know , if someone other than me , someone whose opinion she respects , were to tell her that she needs to stay here where she can be protected , then maybe siobhan would resist the dangerous urge to flee . theo : i sense an urgency in your request . lucky : i happen to think that everyone involved is underestimating the balkan . theo : in what way ? lucky : how capable he is , how close he is to us , how much he knows about all of us . i just -- i do n't want to end up cradling siobhan 's dead body when all this is over . theo : i will do what i can -- within legal parameters , of course . lucky : that 's all i 'm asking . thank you . [ scene_break ] dante : are you prepared to testify ? abby : damn straight . i am not looking forward to it , but there is no way i 'm going to let michael go back to prison for saving me . and brandon is going to answer for what he did , finally . dante : if , uh ... if brandon did rape you , the consequences fit the crime . he 'd deserve a more severe punishment . so , if there 's anything you 'd like to add to your statement , now would be the time . abby : if brandon had raped me , i 'd say so . he would have . i mean , that was clearly what his intentions were . but michael stopped it . you know , this is really complicated for michael . he deals with a lot . dante : i know . abby : your brother is the best person i know . [ sobs ] i just wanted to help him . instead , i threw him back into this nightmare . dante : you are the first person michael 's been able to trust since coming out of pentonville . you made it safe for him to let his guard down and show his pain . that 's the first step towards healing . that 's what you 've done for michael . and what he stopped tonight that was about to happen to you i think might be a real turning point for him .

[ scene_break ] lucy : caleb is real , and now he 's even more dangerous because he 's hiding behind that police badge . kevin : all right , if caleb is a vampire masquerading as a police detective , would n't that put him at even greater risk ? i mean , the more people he comes in contact with , the greater the chance that he 'll be discovered . so , what could be worth taking that chance ? lucy : you know the answer to this . it 's what he 's always wanted , what he always wants to have -- your daughter , livvie . kevin : i do n't have a daughter named livvie . lucy : yes , you do . you do . he 's just made you forget . kevin : so , he 's managed to hypnotize everyone except you ? lucy , that is the definition of a paranoid delusion . lucy : you are an absolutely brilliant psychiatrist . do n't you see what he 's doing ? caleb 's using that . he 's using it . he 's tricking you into twisting the truth , so you 'll just ignore it completely . kevin : so he managed to hypnotize me somehow long - distance in seattle ? lucy : i do n't know . okay , i have no idea the extent of his power . all i do know is that he is caleb , he 's a vampire , and livvie is in danger , and she 's not the only one . so is alison , and so is her son .

[ scene_break ] alison : rafe ! rafe ! oh , god , where are you ? [ scene_break ] patrick : so , you admit that you told emma that you do n't like her ? britt : no , of course not . no , i 've been doing a lot of thinking , and yesterday was the first time that you , emma , and i have ever gone out in public as a family . i mean , emma has n't done anything like that since robin died . patrick : so emma took off because she misses her mom ? britt : maybe she thought that i was trying to replace her . she just wanted to get rid of me . patrick , i would never hurt emma . but if we want to fix this , we have to present a united front . it has to be clear to emma that i am not trying to replace her mom , but that you and i are gon na be together . [ scene_break ] tracy : there 's a chance i could get out of this . connie agreed to keep her source secret . luke : connie ? the schizoid with the alternate personality connie ? tracy : strange as this may sound , when i went over to her office to give her the incriminating evidence , we had a bonding moment . now , do n't ask me to explain . i just have a feeling she might honor her word . [ scene_break ] sonny : the reason i came here is , you know , to get her to back down from your sister to have her drop the charges . connie : he was so grateful that i printed the story , he stuck his tongue down my throat . sonny : why would you even bring that up ? connie : truth hurts , sonny , does n't it ? so , why do n't you tell them . why did you kiss me ? sonny : it had nothing to do with elq . michael : okay , then , why were you with tracy yesterday ? sonny : she wanted my help . she wanted me to track down those financial records before a.j . did -- any means necessary . connie : you know what that means . any means necessary -- crack a few skulls , bust a few kneecaps . sonny : okay , this ... i turned her down , because if that 's what you want , that 's what you should get . michael : even if i 'm working with a.j . ? sonny : my feelings about a.j . -- they do n't matter , because i respect edward quartermaine , and i respect you . i would not tear down your great- grandfather 's company so you can stay away from a.j . you have to believe me . do not believe her . i did n't do it ! [ scene_break ] rafe : so , you babysit danny boy a lot ? molly : not as much as i want to . i got lucky today . yes , i did . my mom and my sister are helping my other sister with some trouble . rafe : so i 'm not the only one with a problem relative . molly : oh , god , not even close . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i love my family . it just seems like all we do is move from one crisis to the next . rafe : sounds like me and my mom . i mean , i love her , but she 's completely dysfunctional . molly : that bad , huh ? rafe : sometimes when she 's dragging me to a new town , i start to imagine , you know , what it would be like being free of my mom and able to take care of myself instead of depending on the kindness of strangers . [ scene_break ] alison : rafe ! oh , god , where did he go ? his backpack . where is it ? no . oh , you do n't have any way to defend yourself . oh , god . [ scene_break ] mcbain : so , alison married this guy kovich . then what ? sam : did she say she had a son ? mcbain : yeah . there 's nothing here about a kid . the last entry is the wedding announcement . sam : and there 's nothing about anyone named caleb , either . mcbain : hmm . or livvie . sam : or why anyone would think that we were them . mcbain : maybe she did n't . maybe lucy put her up to it . sam : what are you saying , that lucy used her as a plant ? mcbain : i do n't know what i 'm saying . that does n't make a lot of sense . if lucy 's found sane , then she 's guilty of assaulting a police officer . sam : maybe lucy is too delusional to realize that . maybe she thinks that if alison can back up her story , they 'll let her out of ferncliff . mcbain : only one way to find out -- ask the party in question . [ scene_break ] kevin : alison barrington ? your cousin rafe 's wife ? what does she have to do with this ? lucy : everything , and so does her son . they are both in grave danger . kevin : from caleb ? lucy : yes , of course , from caleb ! please , you have got to help me . kevin : i will . i will help you . lucy : okay . okay . finally . thank god . listen to me . the first thing you have to do is you have to get out there . doc , listen carefully . you 've got to go warn everybody about caleb . kevin : i 'm not going to do that , lucy . lucy : i do n't understand . you just said you wanted to help me -- you would . kevin : and i will ... by getting you the medical treatment you need . [ scene_break ] patrick : it 's been a complicated time , and i 'm sure emma is confused , and her running away is probably much deeper than -- britt : yes , you 're right . it 's easier to assume that i insulted her . patrick : look , whatever was said between you two , i do n't think you would purposely try and hurt my daughter . britt : thank you . thank you . i ca n't tell you how much that means to me . sabrina : you know , i knew that patrick would take britt 's word over mine , but i was hoping he 'd at least believe his own daughter . oh , god , they 're coming over here . elizabeth : i ca n't deal with -- sabrina ! patrick : hey . elizabeth : hey . hey , patrick . patrick : what 's up with the files ? britt : uh , epiphany assigned sabrina a filing project . if you ask me , it 's a waste of her talents . sabrina : okay . thank you . patrick : sabrina , you all right ? sabrina : that was the bank . they put a stop payment on our check from tracy quartermaine . [ scene_break ] luke : well , look on the bright side . so you brought elq down . you were never gon na get to run it anyway . tracy : i might have had a chance at getting it back . luke : tracy , if this is a build - up to another murder attempt , you 're on your own . i 've had enough of prison for now . tracy : i 'm not gon na kill a.j . daddy might have had another heir . and if i could get them on my side , then i could oust a.j . and michael forever . luke : are you talking about that jimmy lee what 's - his - name ? tracy : no , that yokel . no , daddy disinherited him years ago . there was a codicil in the will saying he was not to get a dime . luke : so there 's another elq possible heir ? there 's another quartermaine out there ? do you have any location on this person ? tracy : not at the moment . that 's where you come in . [ scene_break ] michael : i do n't know what to believe right now . connie : mikey , open your eyes , all right ? your father 's a control freak . he always has been . he wanted to take down elq before you and a.j . could work together . sonny : she 's lying . connie : why would i lie , sonny ? what do i have to gain for that ? why would i want your father as my enemy ? sonny : i 'm not your enemy . connie : you kidnapped me , sonny . you held me captive for days . you were there . you saw what he did . sonny : he knows why i did it . i did it to get through to kate . connie : my point exactly . you do n't like me . you wanted to get kate back , so you tied me to a chair , and you bullied me to retreat . a.j . : wait a second . that 's what michael saw that had him so upset ? oh , man , you really are an incredible son of a bitch , are n't you ? you kidnapped connie , and then you tried to make michael lie about it ? sonny : shut up . connie : you know what , a.j . ? you have my sympathies . and these are the same tactics that your father used to take down elq . face it , michael . your father is a control freak , and he wants what he wants , and he wants a.j . to fail , and he 's not gon na stop no matter if he hurts you or not . michael : you did it , did n't you ? sonny : no , i did not . michael : you gave connie that information -- connie , dad , the same person who 's trying to put kristina behind bars . sonny : i 'll tell you again , michael . she 's lying because she 's trying to get to me . you understand ? i swear to you i did not do this . michael : a.j . did n't even provoke you . sonny : you know how many ways i can hurt him ? the only reason i have n't touched him is because of you . i do n't want you to get in the middle . michael : you have only yourself to blame for this , dad . come on , let 's get the hell out of here . sonny : you know damn well i did n't give you those records ! why 'd you do it ? why 'd you lie to my son ? connie : you want answers , sonny ? why do n't you give me one first , huh ? why did you kiss me ? sonny : did you feel a connection ? do n't deny it . tell me , did you feel a connection ? connie : that 's what you wanted , huh ? you wanted me to get all weak in the knees so i would forget about what your daughter did to me , that i would back off of her , is n't that right ? sonny : you think i 'm manipulating you ? connie : hell , yes , i do ! so why should n't i stab you in the back ? you do n't give a damn about me . sonny : that 's not true . you know that i care about you . connie : you care about me ? no , no , because i 'm just filling in while your one true love is on a permanent vacation . you told me , sonny . you said that you wanted me gone so kate would come back . sonny : it 's true . i love kate , and i do want her to come back , but guess what . she 's not here . you are . and you know what ? when your son died , i saw how much it hurt you . and all i wanted to do was support you . so , hey , no hidden agenda . you know ? i just felt compassion for you . and how do you repay me ? by putting my daughter in prison and turning my own son against me ? connie : i do n't owe you a damn thing , sonny . sonny : well , then , you should ask yourself why you 're working so hard to drive me away . i think i know the answer .

[ scene_break ] patrick : why would n't tracy quartermaine 's check clear ? elizabeth : maybe because of this . britt : yeah , i saw this . apparently elq is involved in a serious scandal . i mean , as soon as the s.e.c . closes in , it 's only a matter of time . sabrina : so , that 's it ? the check is just -- it 's worthless now ? britt : it looks like the nurses ' ball is over before it even started . elizabeth : you know what , dr. westbourne ? the patient in 1023 has been asking for you . britt : hmm , surprise , surprise . sabrina : what are we supposed to do now ? how are we supposed to get the money now ? patrick : we 'll get the money , okay ? there 's got to be something that we can do . elizabeth : yeah , maybe there is . i 'm overdue for my break . can you guys hold down the fort ? sabrina : wait , wait , wait , wait . where are you going ? elizabeth : a quick errand , but i 'll be back , hopefully with good news . sabrina : how 's emma doing ? patrick : she 's fine , thank you . sabrina : good . i 'm glad . patrick : the only problem is i think she might have lied to you about what happened with britt . sabrina : you think so ? patrick : yeah , i do .

[ scene_break ] nina : do n't call yourself a hunchback . valentin : why not ? nina : 'cause it 's not politically correct ? valentin : oh , i assure you , in my case , it was completely accurate . i had a , uh , cranial - facial distortion on the right side of my face -- completely fixable , but they did n't . but the worst part was the scoliosis . by the time i was an adult , i had a 55-degree cobb angle to my spine . it caused the muscles in my left arm to be in a constant state of contraction . that was very painful . my left shoulder was 10 inches higher than my right . it caused my right arm to dangle . my chest was twisted , and my ribs stuck out . nina : that must have been awful . valentin : it was n't great . and it hurt a lot . and of course , there was the ... pity ... the revulsion ... bullying . but that fueled my anger . i learned to solve conflict using strategy , not brute force . but there 's not much you can do about pity and revulsion except hide . so i went to the library , where i would n't have to deal with their looks , pretending not to see my face and my twisted body ... 'cause that 's all they could see . no one ever saw me at all . and that 's the way my life would have gone ... my spine just getting more and more twisted until it finally compromised my lungs and then my heart . and then there was anna . she changed everything . nina : so , it was anna who encouraged you to get treatment ? valentin : no . no . you do n't treat a 55-degree cobb angle . you undergo a series of very complicated and painful surgeries to straighten the spine , to fuse the vertebrae into one longer bone . it 's very hazardous , and like i said , it 's very painful . nina : and anna was with you during the surgeries ? valentin : no . she inspired me . anna , um -- she never pitied me . or if she did , she just hid it better than everybody else . we helped each other with our schoolwork . she was my friend . then one day i made a mistake . i -- i tried to kiss her . she was horrified , disgusted . nina : she said that ? valentin : no , not in so many words . nina : wow . my god . valentin : well , you did n't know me back then . you would n't have wanted to kiss a hunchback , either . nina : listen to me . i 'm glad you got all the surgeries ... because it made you tall and strong ... and you deserve to be all of those things . and , um ... ... i 'm gon na be honest . i 've known some really beautiful , gorgeous people who are hideous inside , including anna devane . valentin : no . nina : yes , yes , because she could n't see how incredible you are . but i do . what are you doing ? valentin : [ voice breaking ] i 'm looking for pity ... and disgust . nina : [ voice breaking ] you can look all you want because you 're never , ever gon na find that ... ever . the only thing you 're gon na see on my face is how much you mean to me . valentin : thank you . thank you for listening to me . nina : thank you for telling me .

[ scene_break ] sam : you said that rafe took off when he realized the boy was n't his ? lucy : wait , wait , wait , wait . do n't get me wrong . it 's not like that . it 's not that he abandoned them . he loved both of them very much . he was just so determined to protect them . sam : protect them ? by leaving ? lucy : by leaving to find caleb . rafe wanted to find caleb and stop him . he knew that caleb might come after that baby , and he never wanted caleb to be able to hurt alison or her son . sam : did he ever find caleb ? lucy : we never knew . they just -- they just vanished . and always , in my heart of hearts , i knew that caleb was the one that survived , because rafe would be here is he could . he would be here , and so -- anyway , time went by , nobody heard a word , and no one has heard or seen either one of them until now . [ scene_break ] molly : it would have been selfish to just hand him a bag of stale bread and walk away . the least i could do was bring rafe someplace warm . t.j. : rafe ? so , you exchanged names ? molly : well , i could n't very well treat him to lunch without knowing his name . t.j. : see , my thing is , if you felt so bad for the guy , how come you could n't just leave him some cash and he could get his own lunch ? molly : well , i do n't think he would have accepted it . t.j. : so , he accepts stale bread but not money ? molly : you 're way overthinking this . i am never gon na see him again . his mother drags him all over the place . i mean , they 're probably on a bus out of town right now . t.j. : mother ? how old is this guy ? molly : i do n't know . our age , i guess . t.j. : you left that part out . you seemed to cover a lot over one bowl of chili . molly : just so you know , you 're definitely starting to sound jealous . t.j. : [ scoffs ] why would i be jealous of a guy who ca n't even buy a girl flowers ? he has to steal them from a diner table .

[ scene_break ] michael : my dad had a meeting with tracy . he admitted that it was about how to keep a.j . from taking over elq . he said that he turned her down . starr : okay . maybe he did . michael : here 's a different scenario -- what if my dad found proof that tracy was laundering money through elq and he brought that to connie , knowing it would destroy the company , keeping me away from a.j . ? and he knows that connie 's running the paper , so , i mean -- he wants her to feel grateful and maybe even trust him . starr : that all sounds very complicated . what if it 's just connie lying ? look at what she did to molly . look at how she lied about shooting out anthony 's tires . she lies about everything . michael : why -- why are you , uh , defending my dad so much ? starr : i do n't know . maybe i 'm just hoping he 's not as vindictive and irredeemable as my dad . michael : anyway , it does n't really matter . the damage is done . elq is on the ropes . starr : i 'm sorry . on the bright side , there will be other ways to get to know a.j . other than working with him at elq . michael : yeah , i know . thanks for reminding me . i should probably get over there . i think we 're gon na be in for a very long night . starr : i 'm sorry . good luck .

[ scene_break ] maxie : [ clears throat ] you were right that , in the past , i have gone after guys in other relationships . but the funny thing is that that 's never really worked out the way i wanted . i mean , i would lie and scheme and then it would blow up in my face , and i would end up being miserable . um , but that 's not what happened on new year 's eve . there was no planning . there was no sabotage . and as sorry as i am for what happened and how everyone feels , there 's one thing that i 'm not sorry about . ellie : what do you mean ? britt : 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 . maxie : uh , when spinelli and i had sex , it gave us closure . we stopped wondering , `` what if ? `` he was able to make the decision that you were the person he wanted to be with , and i could finally accept that decision . so , in a way , it was a good thing we slept together . ellie : your argument has a certain syllogistic logic . maxie : i do n't know what that means . spinelli : i think ellie is saying that you 've explained how an unfortunate lapse could produce unforeseen benefits or that a dark cloud of thoughtless infidelity could manifest a silver lining -- so , a good thing . lulu : and it 's -- uh , selfless , but there is nothing more selfless than you carrying my baby .

'cause he 's afraid of hospitals , and i just want to make sure he 's okay . sam : yeah . i mean , he could probably convince jason to stay put and get the rest that he needs . griffin : can you assure me that you wo n't do something that will cost me my job ? sonny : i will -- yes , yes , yes . i will not leave jason 's room . you have my word . and my word actually means something . griffin : you have until i get the x - rays back . sonny : thank you . thank you , doctor . let 's go . sam : wait . i am not done with you . i know you lied to me . julian : i do n't want to see jason hurt . i wish you could believe me . sam : yeah . i wish i could , too . sonny : come on .

[ scene_break ] maxie : when you say `` self - destructs , `` you mean , like , explodes ? three : yeah , that would be the general idea . maxie : okay . how big of an explosion are we talking about ? three : it depends on which model . some equinoxes only destroy the contents . others explode with enough force to take a hand off if you 're the one punching in the wrong code . in a space this small , it might be strong enough to kill us . [ scene_break ] luke : that 's the last time you visit laura at the hospital . scott : yeah , well , that 's what you think . luke : yeah , we 'll see about that . right now , my daughter 's in that hotel . scott : yeah , well , so is bobbie . i ran into her at kelly 's . she said she was going over to host the charity event . luke : what 's your game , baldwin ? scott : mind your business , spencer . luke : the port charles hotel burns to the ground and you take a powder and now there 's a hostage crisis , and just like that you 're back ? scott : so you think i have something to do with what 's going on in there ? luke : if you do and my kid gets hurt , you 're done . once and for all , you are done .

[ scene_break ] skye : i 'm sorry , i ca n't help you . lorenzo tells me as much about his business as you do to sam . jason : okay , may -- maybe i did n't make myself clear . all hell is breaking loose at the metro court and it 's centered around whatever alcazar took there . now , if you know something about this and you do n't tell me , you 're going to be just as responsible for any of those lives that are lost . and that includes your family . skye : oh , god -- the charity benefit . jason : please , just tell me what i need to get them out . skye : what , now you care about the quartermaines ? jason : skye , stop stalling ! skye : i 'm sorry , i ca n't help you . jason : that 's a lie ! you can help me . i do n't know what landed alcazar back in the hospital , but he knew this shipment had to go through . you are the only one he would trust enough to turn it over to .

[ scene_break ] alexis : you going to ava 's ? julian : yeah , that 's the plan . still think i 've got an ulterior motive ? i guess i ca n't blame you . truth is , i came here for one reason and one reason only , and that was to get you sober . and you are . so our work here is done . now i 'm gon na get out of your hair . alexis : what about that other thing ? julian : what other thing ? alexis : that thing that happened when you followed me out from the bar ? julian : you were never involved in that hit - and - run accident . in fact , you were n't even there . there 's no reason why that should ever come up again . now our business is done , alexis . you can have your house back . unless , of course ... alexis : unless what ? julian : well , unless ... you do n't want me to move out .

[ scene_break ] olivia jerome : you might think that your show of initiative is of value to me . it is not . julian : well , maybe you should hear me out . i think that finding a scapegoat is gon na take way too much time , so i convinced jason to drop the case altogether . olivia jerome : how did you do that ? julian : i drugged him . jason spent a long , painful day at the hospital not knowing if he 'd see his unborn child . i guess it changed his perspective , because he cut ties with sonny immediately and dropped the investigation . olivia jerome : quite a feat . from everything that i 've heard , sonny and jason 's bond was unbreakable . julian : you 're right . it was . but jason has a family now . he puts them ahead of everyone and everything . olivia jerome : that 's nice . good job , julian . so , moving on to other topics , what 's going on with gh ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : no use speculating `` what ifs . `` i do n't even know who this woman is . she 's not even in my sights . jason : i need to know , sonny . sonny : okay , if you catch this woman , you turn her in to the cops , so be it . hopefully prison time will be able to neutralize her . jason : and if that 's not enough for you ? sonny : you just do me this favor . you find out who murdered my son . after that , it 's on me . no one else .

[ carly laughs ] courtney : you 're amazing . i mean , it 's like water off a duck 's back to you . carly : water off a what ? courtney : it 's just an old expression my mom used to say all the time . it just means that you do n't let things bother you -- carly : yeah , i get it . courtney : i do n't know . i wish i could be like that , carly , but , honestly , when -- when i heard those shots fired from the basement , my heart just stopped cold . you know , and i tried to play it off like it happens all the time , but it was just an act . carly : you want to know something ? it 's an act with me , too . courtney : so you really were scared ? carly : yeah , i still am . listen , if those bullets had been real in that gun , sonny would be dead right now . but i know the dangers of his life and the life that we have together , so instead of freaking out as soon as it happens , i decided to try and remind myself that i have a lot to treasure . and then i freak out . courtney : you know , i do n't -- i do n't understand . i mean , sonny has plenty of money . why does n't he just take you and michael and go to the island and just -- i do n't know -- live the rest of your lives safe and happy ? why ca n't he walk away ? carly : and take jason with us ? and you and mike and my mother and everybody else that we love and care about ? it 's a great fantasy , courtney . i have had it myself so many times , but that 's all it is . it 's a fantasy . jason and sonny chose this life , and we chose them . so we just have to trust that they know how to handle every situation .

[ brenda sighs ] brenda : go ahead , make fun of me . jason : that is the first time you 've actually made any sense . now , why do you not think that jax can understand this ? brenda : because jax is going to think that i want to put the wedding off because of sonny . jason : are you ? brenda : no . of course not . i 'm not a kid anymore , you know ? i 'm not naive . i do n't have silly , hopeful dreams anymore . i know that sonny and i are n't an option for each other . we both know that . jax -- he gets jealous . he feels a little threatened . i mean , who could blame him ? i 've gone back and forth between them more than once . jason : do n't you ever get tired of holding that guy 's hand through everything ? brenda : no , i do n't . he does the same for me . i 'm sorry about all this . i am . if you just take me back to port charles , we can file for the annulment there . jason : it 's going to take longer . brenda : i know . exactly .

[ scene_break ] maxie : maybe it all started when i had my big operation , and i got my cousin b.j . 's heart . so much was expected of me . i mean , i had a second chance at life and i was supposed to do amazing things with my future . i kind of felt like i did n't deserve it , so i went the complete opposite direction . i started acting out . i was really selfish . georgie was the only person who saw through that . maybe mac and robin . but outside of my family , i just put up this huge wall for protection . because if i was open and vulnerable , then people could see how i really felt . they could see that i was scared that this little girl had given me her heart . she did n't get a life of her own . johnny : you opened up enough to fall in love with coop . maxie : i loved coop , but i never invested too much , and then he died . that 's usually a theme with me . people either leave or die , so it 's a mistake to ever care . johnny : you care about spinelli . maxie : i do a lot . so much that it scares me . i mean , whenever i 'm in trouble or i 'm happy or i need to talk to someone , my first thought is always , `` i 'm going to go tell spinelli , `` because he knows me so well and he 's such a good listener . and georgie loved him , so he understands when i miss her . johnny : you and spinelli have a pretty deep connection . maxie : we do . the more i talk about him , the more i realize i would really miss him if he were gone . johnny : maybe he wo n't be . maxie : you do n't seem to understand what i 'm saying . i know that i will eventually do something to drive spinelli away . i just kind of want to get it over with now . johnny : yeah , that makes perfect sense to me . maxie : then both of us need psychotherapy . and since i ca n't afford it , i 'll just revert back to my `` bad blonde one `` ways and do something really dumb so spinelli will leave me forever . johnny : yeah , like what , have sex with me ? maxie : yeah , like that .

[ luke laughs ] [ scene_break ] lulu : there 's got to be something that we can just do to help . nikolas : well , we 're not doctors and we 're not nurses . probably the best course of action is to stay out of everyone 's way . lulu : i guess . nikolas : in the mean time , you can tell me more about johnny . what 's going on ? lulu : no , i 've already whined enough . nikolas : you had a fight with the guy you love . you have a right to feel how you feel about it . lulu : this is something that i love about you , the way that you understand and you do n't judge me . nikolas : yeah , that 's what big brothers do . we listen and we give advice and then we stand back while everyone ignores what we say . lulu : i 'm just very confused , because nothing is going the way that i thought it would . nikolas : johnny 's a complicated guy . not surprising , considering the dysfunctional family he comes from . and believe me , i speak from experience . lulu : that 's actually what it is . when he left his family , i was so proud of him and i thought it was going to be wonderful that we could finally be together without his crazy father interfering , you know , we could start our life . but instead , that 's when we started to fall apart .

[ scene_break ] lulu : it dawned on me that -- a tragic opera was a questionable first date . i mean , it 's all about finding your true love and then watching them die of consumption or whatever . it 's kind of grim . [ chuckles ] so , maybe our next one could be a little more upbeat -- like , go to a light opera or a straight - up musical or something -- like one where -- the guy thinks he 's hot stuff and the girl 's too proud to admit that she likes him . then after a bunch of near misses and misunderstandings , they finally find each other and admit their feelings and live happily ever after . i love him so much , dad . i do n't want him to die . luke : oh . [ scene_break ] robin : taking a sneak look at dr. webber 's chart ? patrick : in my line of work , it 's called consulting -- and in this case , at the request of the patient 's father . robin : in this case , the patient 's father is under arrest for murder . and as much as you do n't want to hear it , i guarantee you things would be different if you had just told me when you found out that sonny was dominic 's father . patrick : robin , it was n't my business to say anything , or yours , for that matter . lisa : has anybody seen the falconeri chart ? patrick : yeah . it 's right here . nice work in the o.r . , dr. niles . lisa : well , as much as i would like to take the credit , i was riding shotgun on this one . that 's a bad choice of words .

[ scene_break ] luke : so , i got a call from nikolas . apparently , any shred of humanity he retains , he saves exclusively for you . lulu : so , what did he tell you ? luke : he told me that , uh , dominic got shot and sonny pulled the trigger . and he said that sonny was arrested for claudia 's murder , and it came out that dominic pirelli is a pseudonym . and his real name is dante falconeri ? i guess that hangs him on olivia 's family tree . lulu : yeah . luke : is that a secret that he kept from you ? lulu : no , i knew that dante was olivia 's son . but nikolas did n't tell you the big secret . luke : there 's a bigger secret ? what is it ? lulu : dante is an undercover cop , and his assignment was to take sonny down . luke : whew . so , he thought he could infiltrate the corinthos organization and get away with it . and then corinthos thought he could shoot an undercover cop and get away with it . that 's a hell of a lot of self - delusion going on . lulu : i knew what dante was doing for months . and i told myself that if the truth came out , sonny would never hurt olivia 's kid . i thought he was a better man than that , but he 's not . sonny shot his own son . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , when i heard the story of michael getting shot , my blood just went cold . and i just -- i thought , `` there but for the grace of god . `` it confirmed every decision that i ever made for my son . carly : i 'm in no position to judge . you know , i was young , pregnant , and single once myself . olivia : but even at 15 years old , carly , i knew that i could n't let anyone , especially sonny , know that he was my baby 's father . he was working for joe scully already . he was loving every minute of it . and that was not a life that i wanted or admired . carly : i 'm not sure sonny had much of a choice back then . you know ? olivia : carly , everyone 's got a choice . in our neighborhood where we grew up , a man -- with very few exceptions -- can go one of two ways . they can either work in service to the community , their family , and their fellow man , or they can work in service to themselves . and i loved sonny . i did . but i -- i did not love where his ambitions were taking him . and i would n't have that for my son . carly : sonny 's a survivor . you know ? he did what he had to do to get away from a horrific childhood . olivia : i know . and it 's good that you believe that . i 'm sure that that 's why you can let him be the father to your kids . but i could n't . when dante told me that he was gon na be a cop , oh -- i was so proud of him . i still am . my son is a good , kind , moral man . carly : so , why not tell him the truth ? i mean , not when he was young , but why not warn him when he was assigned to sonny 's case ? olivia : you 're exactly right . that 's exactly when i should have told him -- dante would have gotten himself taken off the case . he would have gotten himself reassigned . carly : so , why did n't you tell him ? olivia : because you do n't want to do the inevitable until you absolutely have to . and plus , there was no way to predict how sonny was gon na react to finding out . i mean , you know , sonny 's not exactly known for his overwhelming forgiveness . so , i kept the secret . sonny pulled the trigger . and now my brilliant decision making -- it meant absolutely nothing , because when my son needed me the most , i failed him . [ scene_break ] michael : i need a lawyer . not diane miller -- she answers to my dad . jax : yeah . michael : okay ? he 'll tell her not to let me confess . i need someone who has no connection to the mob , who can explain to the police or the da that i was just protecting my mother and my baby sister . jax : what you 're asking for is really brave , michael . michael : well , my dad 's under arrest for something he did n't do . i need to set the record straight . jax : i understand you do n't want your father to go to prison for something that you did . i get that . but what you 're asking for is impossible . when sonny and jason put the cover - up in motion , they destroyed any evidence that will support your case , so no one 's gon na believe you . and if your father had n't ordered the cabin to be burned , there would be evidence , and you could have claimed self - defense or involuntary manslaughter . but that 's no longer possible . okay ? your father 's the one who turned this into a murder case . michael : but i swung the ax handle that killed claudia . my dad did n't even go inside the cabin . jax : michael , you know that i 'm not one of your father 's defenders . all right ? i do n't like anything he does . i do n't like who he is . but i know that he loves you . he 's just making sure that you do n't get blamed for claudia 's murder . and if that means being in prison himself so that you can go free , then that 's what he 'll do .

'cause that guy , he always gets away with everything . he 's sort of like teflon , you know -- it just slides right off . officer church : well , corinthos had a gun on him . forensics is gon na run tests on it this afternoon . the fbi 's actually gon na supervise . nothin ' sliding off him this time . yeah .

'cause this way , if dante does n't live , uncle sonny gets the maximum sentence . it 's mandatory . kristina : do n't jump to conclusions . molly : i 'm not . it 's in my report on the criminal justice system . the killing of a policeman , undercover or in uniform , is murder with `` special circumstances . `` michael : murder one . molly : yeah . and if you 're found guilty , you 're locked up for life -- no possibility of parole or anything . and does anyone doubt that uncle sonny 's guilty ?

[ scene_break ] delores : i told you guys . i 'm okay . i do n't need a doctor . lulu : you could need stitches . delores : do you really think that this guy went after me because he knew i was working the stripper case ? dante : i do n't know . maybe he 's following the investigation . maybe he knows we 're interviewing the victims . delores : and i 'm a much easier target than you or ronnie . dante : look , dr. keenan said this guy is looking to get caught . lulu : which makes sense why he would target a cop . dante : yeah . keenan also said this guy is getting more dangerous . you 're lucky you got away when you did , because it looks like he 's stepping his game up . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you fly all the way to chicago to talk to your therapist about me ? kate : [ sniffles ] yeah , tell me that does n't gratify your ego on some level . sonny : not even a little bit , 'cause i do n't want you hurting because of me . kate : i 'm just -- i 'm just conflicted . sonny : about ? kate : stuff . sonny : you know how i feel , right ? look at me . you know how i feel about both of us and i want this to work out . but if i 'm the reason that you 're gon na be anxious and afraid and , you know , and go through life with more pain , i ... i should -- m - maybe i should just get out . kate : is that what you want ? sonny : hell no . kate : [ chuckles ] sonny : 'cause this is my best attempt at , you know , at being noble , i mean , putting your good in front of mine . kate : uh , i just feel like i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm in limbo . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : just drifting -- drifting back and forth between whatever was and the promise of what could be , you know ? back and forth between nostalgia and hope . sonny : bensonhurst and port charles ? kate : yes , and chicago . sonny : right . kate : and i am here , sonny . i am here trying to get better , because i want -- i want this to work with us . and i want a -- i want a new life with you , a better life , and not dwelling on the past . you know ? but it 's -- it 's difficult sometimes . sonny : yeah . i know . and i 'm sorry about the past , you know ? kate : you know , when you got shot in your office ... sonny : mm - hmm . kate : ... i almost cut and ran . and i do n't know why , but ... a part of me -- a part of me wanted t - to go . but a bigger part of me wanted to stay .

[ scene_break ] sonny : so , this doctor , is he helping you ? kate : i think so . um , after i see him , i feel calmer , you know , more prepared to -- to take on the challenges of my life . you know , truthfully , the hardest part of the whole thing was just admitting that i needed help . sonny : i hate that i need to take my medication , but you know what ? it keeps me balanced , and we got to do what we got to do , right ? kate : it feels so weak . sonny : no . no , it 's not , because they 're just , like ... slight imperfections .

[ cheers and applause ] nathan : americano , right ? you usually get one from kelly 's ? dante : what 's this ? why are you being so generous ? nathan : look , i just wanted to make sure we 're cool after last night . dante : cool after last night ? nathan : i 'm sorry if it seemed like i was overstepping my boundaries with your wife . lulu : what 's this ? nikolas : it 's freezing outside . lulu : okay . see ? now , this is disappointing . i did n't expect a whole carcass , but i thought you 'd bring back , like , a head or a jaw we could mount on the wall . nikolas : alas , i did not find any chupacabras . lulu : spencer and cameron were so sure that something was out there . nikolas : yeah , well , i searched high and low . the horses are fine , not a monster or human in sight . heather : well , that was a close call with prince charming . his darn kids must have told him about the chupacabra . come on . that way ! carly : [ muffled ] i 'm walking ! heather : that 's a gag in your mouth . remember what it 's for ? thank god i found the path that leads down here from the stables . welcome to the wyndemere catacombs . not much for ambience , but you ca n't beat the access to both the house and the stables . and if i had n't found a way , i 'd be in jail and you 'd be rescued . kiki : so sorry , franco . i wanted to prove that heather has been the one framing you , but she 's been locked in miscavige this whole time . and even if she had n't been , she 's in no condition to cause any trouble . franco : you think you saw heather -- like , actually saw her ? like , actually laid eyes on her ? kiki : yeah . you keep asking me that . why is it so hard for you to believe ? elizabeth : sabrina ? sabrina : oh , elizabeth . elizabeth : we need to talk . sabrina : before you say anything , i -- elizabeth : i feel uncomfortable keeping this from patrick . please reconsider telling him it 's his baby . emma : sabrina ? i thought you said your baby is n't my daddy 's baby . patrick : hey , robin . it 's -- it 's me . um ... i did my best to keep emma away from obrecht , but we had a little bit of a run - in . it 's -- it 's fine . everything 's fine . um ... just give me a call when you get this and i 'll explain . hope you 're enjoying your down time and you 're doing something fun . okay . i 'll talk to you in a second . i love you . robin : i do n't understand . what do you want ? what do two dead cassadines have anything to do with me ? victor : because they 're no more dead than you are . and you , my dear , are going to bring them back . robin : what do you mean , `` bring them back `` ? victor : it 's quite simple ... dr. scorpio - drake . you 're going to help me restore the cassadine family back to its former glory . robin : well , the only cassadine that i 've ever cared about it nikolas , so i have no intention of thawing helena or any of your other cryogenically freeze- dried relatives so that they can walk the earth ever again . victor : yes . well , you came back from the dead . why ca n't they ? robin : well , because i was never actually dead , and they are . victor : perhaps . but their bodies and brains were preserved with the very best technology . robin : right . [ sighs ] nothing like having your own cryo unit in your basement , except that that was converted into a lab , and i should know that because i was locked up there for months . victor : yes . well , there was some question as to when helena and stavros were transported to cassadine island , but , fortunately , dr. liesl obrecht landed in my lap [ chuckles ] so to speak , and she had the information i needed . robin : on where stavros and helena were ? victor : mm - hmm . but she would not reveal them to me unless i had arranged for her exoneration and her freedom . robin : do n't keep me in suspense . where are they ? victor : that 's none of your concern . robin : then why are you in my living room , telling me about them ? victor : because , dr. scorpio - drake , i 'm in need of a scientist who possesses both the brilliance and resourcefulness necessary to help me revive them . and that , my dear , is you . emma : sabrina , you said your friend from puerto rico helped you make your baby . sabrina : i know . i know i did . um ... elizabeth : i 'm so sorry . i did n't know she was here . emma : but i do n't understand . who 's that baby 's daddy ? britt : patrick , hey . do you have a minute ? patrick : sure . what do you need ? britt : i owe you an apology . patrick : you do n't need to apologize for something your mother did , britt . britt : it 's not about my mother . i w -- i want to apologize for what i did . lulu : can you believe those boys would make up a story about a chupacabra ? nikolas : great . and the next time , i 'll be dinosaurs or aliens or whatever , but , uh ... i am a little concerned . lulu : why ? i thought you said you did n't find anything . nikolas : i said i did n't find a monster . lulu : what about that mysterious woman the boys mentioned ? nikolas : no , but i did find this . heather : where 's my knife ? where is it ? what did you do with it ? carly : i 'm tied . heather : you are awfully smug for a hostage . you know that ? [ breathing shakily ] where is it ? where is the damn thing ? oh , no . i think this is my fault . [ sniffles ] i should n't have panicked when i heard prince nicky coming . but i did . and then i was in such a rush to get us out of there that i left the knife in the stables . what am i gon na do ? i need that knife ! kiki : why is it so hard for you to believe ? if i say that i saw your mom locked in miscavige , then i saw her there . franco : you are the only ally that i have in this world , and i do n't know what i would do without you . but you did n't see heather . heather is n't there . heather is n't anywhere . kiki : why not ? dante : i 'm just messing with you , man . we 're good . nathan : are you sure ? dante : yeah , i 'm sure . thanks for the coffee anyway . nathan : yeah , no problem . so , if you do n't mind my asking , you and your wife ? dante : yeah . you know , we 're working things out . we 're making headway , but every time we do , something comes up with this franco case . nathan : yeah . i saw him in the interrogation room . that ca n't be his lawyer , can it ? she seems a little young . dante : no . that 's , uh , kiki jerome . nathan : silas clay 's daughter with ava jerome ? dante : mm - hmm . nathan : why is she in there with franco ? dante : ava let kiki believe that franco was her father . they got close , and now she 's practically crusading around for him . anyway , i want to go back over this stuff -- see if there 's anything we missed . you working on clay 's case , or you want to give me a hand with this ? nathan : no , the clay thing is on hold for a moment . let 's see if there 's anything in here to put franco away . dante : well , there 'd better be something good , seeing as we do n't have a body . kiki : okay , franco . so , what makes you so sure that your mother is n't locked up in miscavige ? franco : kiki ... heather is dead . kiki : [ chuckles ] dead ? franco , i just told you that i saw her . heather is not dead . franco : i 'm pretty sure she 's dead . i killed her . robin : you work for the wsb , right ? i mean , last time i checked , you were the good guys . so , why is it that you want me to bring two criminals back ? victor : you 're far too intelligent to oversimplify . robin : is that what i 'm doing ? victor : the world is no longer black and white . what , wsb good , dvx bad ? robin : and let me guess -- there are shades of gray , and that 's where you fit in ? victor : yeah . even though the cassadines have a maligned reputation , you know , they 've done more good in this world than so many of these so - called heroes ? robin : can we skip the part where you defend your psychotic relatives ? the world without helena and stavros is a better place . victor : [ chuckles ] [ laughing ] that 's not very nice . robin : well , neither were they -- not that that matters . even if i wanted to help you , which i do n't , i simply do n't have that capability . victor : well , they said there was no cure for polonium poisoning , correct ? and yet luke spencer is alive and well , as is my former wsb colleague , sean donely . i mean , you were innovative enough to achieve that impossible feat . i am certain that you cans well . robin : why would i want to do that ? why would i want to bring two miserable people back from the dead ? emma : aunt elizabeth just said that your baby was daddy 's . she said that . elizabeth : you 're right . you 're right , honey . i did say that . um ... oh . do you remember that story we read about not jumping to conclusions ? well , i think auntie elizabeth might have jumped to conclusions . emma : so , what do you mean ? elizabeth : i mean if sabrina told you the baby is n't daddy 's , then it is n't . sabrina : hey , were n't you gon na show me something online ? let 's see it . emma : the battery 's out of juice . can i plug it in somewhere ? sabrina : yeah . there 's a plug right down there . elizabeth : oh , god , sabrina . i am so sorry . i did n't know she was here . sabrina : i know . i know . it 's not your fault . i just -- [ sighs ] now i 'm not just lying to patrick -- i 'm lying to his daughter , too ? patrick : if this is about you and nikolas not being able to tell me that robin was alive , i - i understand that . it 's -- you could n't tell me . britt : i felt terrible about that , especially when you asked brad right in front of me in the lab if he 'd seen her , and i wanted to tell you . patrick : i know that you could n't . i understand that . robin 's parents would have been killed -- i get it . britt : but that 's not what i 'm talking about . i want to apologize for what i did to you last year when i made you think i was having your baby . patrick : [ sighs ] okay . what about it ? britt : well , i - i 'm sorry ... i manipulated you . you were really looking forward to being a father again when the baby i was carrying was n't even yours . lulu : that looks like a regular kitchen knife . nikolas : yeah . lulu : is it one of yours ? nikolas : no , i do n't recognize it , but then again , i do n't go in the kitchen that often . lulu : do you think one of the boys took it to the stables to kill the chupacabra ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] i - i do n't know . i mean , you saw them . they were armed with fireplace implements before i confiscated their weapons . i -- maybe alfred left it . i do n't know . lulu : you think alfred left a butcher knife in the stables ? nikolas : well , he has been leaving things in odd places lately . i 'll talk to him , 'cause one of the boys could have gotten hurt , you know ? lulu : yeah . speaking of , have you noticed this rash on ben ? nathan : they still put those in hotel rooms ? dante : yeah . they do as long as my mother 's part owner . nathan : what do you think ? you think franco read it -- maybe highlighted his favorite passages ? dante : [ chuckles ] i do n't know . i 'm just checking . what 's this ? someone tore this up and then changed their mind . nathan : what is it ? dante : it looks like a florist 's card . `` dearest carly , stay the hell away from my son or else . hugs , heather webber . `` nathan : and that 's franco 's mother ? dante : yeah . i guess she did n't like his association with carly . and franco 's saying that he 's been framed . nathan : yeah . well , so is silas clay . dante : true . but you do n't know heather webber , man . she is , uh ... one messed- up lady . nathan : oh , yeah ? how so ? dante : well , her recent string of crimes include several kidnappings , one murder for sure , several attempted murders , one being the commissioner , a baby , shooting my mother up with a syringe full of lsd , and that 's all just in the past 18 months . nathan : oh . [ chuckles ] so , you think there 's something more to this card ? dante : possibly . there 's only one problem . heather webber 's locked up -- maximum security at the miscavige institute for the criminally insane . heather : you should be dead by now . franco 's been arrested . the police have a knife with franco 's fingerprints and your blood on it . now all they need is your body . but i have to use the same knife on you . otherwise , the wounds wo n't match and franco could walk . [ breathing deeply ] they taught us that at miscavige -- to breathe . [ breathes deeply ] if you can breathe -- ahh -- you can control your life . that 's it . i 've got it ! i go back to the stables . i retrieve the knife . i bring it back here and kill you with it . ha ! it 's that simple ! kiki : you killed heather webber ? ! oh , my god ! franco : keep your voice down . we 're in a police station . i can explain . sit down . kiki : explain ? franco : yes . kiki : okay , yeah . please explain to me why you killed your mother . franco : she was gon na kill carly . i walked in the room , and my mother was gon na kill my girlfriend . carly was in the shower . heather had a knife . i took the knife from heather , and i ... kiki : a knife ? a knife ? a knife ? franco : ... killed her . yes , with a knife a -- a knife very much like the one that the police have . kiki : like the one with your fingerprints on it and carly 's blood . franco : i do n't know about that , and i know how it sounds . kiki : it sounds like , um , stabbing is kind of your m.o . franco : i do n't have an m.o . -- not anymore . kiki : anymore ? franco ... franco : you know how i feel about carly . i could n't hurt her -- not her . i just -- i could n't . kiki : okay . so , this -- this knife that the police have -- it looked -- could it be that same knife ? franco : i have no idea . i do n't know how they got the knife . i do n't know how the knife supposedly got carly 's blood on it . i buried the knife that i used to kill heather , and now you 're telling me that you saw heather . it does n't make any sense . kiki : well -- well , i mean , i saw the back of her head . i mean , maybe it was n't even heather . is that possible ? but would that make any sense ? franco : i have no idea . kiki : oh , my god ! what if -- what if heather is n't dead ? franco : mm , no . heather 's dead . i buried heather . whoa , whoa , whoa . where are you going ? kiki : you need to tell dante everything that you just told me . franco : oh , no , no ... no . robin : give me one good reason why i should help you . victor : i thought you 'd never ask . see , dr. scorpio - drake , it 's -- [ knock on door ] mac : robin , i need to talk to you . it 's important . robin : it 's my uncle . i ... victor : you say anything to alert him to our presence , and we 'll have to kill him . mac : robin ? ! victor : not one word . robin : i 'm -- i 'm coming ! mac : [ chuckling ] hey . what took you so long ? is everything okay ? sabrina : what am i doing ? i 'm not a liar . i do n't even want to be a better one . i always prided myself on my integrity , and now look at this mess . look at the mess i 've gotten myself into . emma : the pad is on now . look . now i can prove the chupacabra is real . sabrina : what did you say ? did you say , `` the chupacabra `` ? sabrina : oh , yeah . she was asking about it . why ? elizabeth : i 've never even heard of it until a couple days ago , and now it keeps popping up . patrick : britt , the way i see it -- britt : look , let me have it . please . god knows i deserve it . patrick : look , robin is home . my family is back . everything that happened between me and you and the baby situation -- it feels like a long time ago now . britt : well ... i 'm sorry anyway , and i 'm sorry i did n't tell you sooner . patrick : we really do n't need to rehash this . britt : i do , actually . i - i need to own up to what i did because i was a little crazy back then . patrick : happens to the best of us . britt : i was so desperate to hold on to you that i let my mother convince me to get pregnant , and she told me that you 'd step up if i was having your baby , and then you did , and you got your hopes up so high about that baby . patrick : yes , i did . britt : i did n't realize how wrong i was to do that until i became a parent myself . and now i understand . patrick : well , having a child of your own will do that to you . britt : i mean , you saw how miserable i - i was to little emma . i just did n't get it . i know that 's not an excuse , but , i mean , i just did n't have much of a role model from either of my parents , so i treated children the way my parents treated me . and then ... patrick : ben . britt : yeah . everything changed -- i mean , my whole world . i never knew how hard i would fall for my child . i mean , there 's -- there 's no other feeling like it . patrick : no , there is n't . britt : i love him so much . i 'd die if i ever lost him . patrick : why would you ever lose ben ? lulu : should we take him to the hospital ? nikolas : no , no . he 's -- he 's fine . he gets these little rashes every now and then . lulu : mm . nikolas : britt 's pretty sure that it 's some sort of an allergic reaction . lulu : to what ? nikolas : well , apparently , some fruits and vegetables have proteins in them that mimic those found in rubber , and he 's allergic to latex . lulu : really ? nikolas : yeah . lulu : so is dante . dante : damn it . nathan : what is it ? what 's wrong ? dante : aah ! i used the wrong gloves . i have an allergy to latex . nathan : you okay ? dante : yeah , i 'm fine . i just get this rash . kiki : franco ! franco ! franco : kiki , you are bananas if you think i 'm gon na tell dante that i killed my mother . kiki : you killed your mother because you were trying to save carly . those are extenuating circumstances . franco : yeah , but then i moved the body and i disposed of a murder weapon , and i 'm pretty sure that he 's not gon na buy extenuating circumstances , and then there 's the fact that you know i 'm -- well , i 'm me . kiki : well , the woman in question is heather webber , so i think the odds are in your favor . franco : [ sighs ] he 's just gon na throw away the key . kiki : then what are you gon na do ? franco : well , there 's always the paper clip . kiki : the paper clip ? franco : the paper clip that 's down by your feet . kiki : please do n't tell me you 're thinking what i think you 're thinking . franco : i need your help . please . nathan : i 'm so sorry . i just grabbed some gloves out of the box and handed them to you . dante : oh , dude , forget about it . it 's not your fault . i , uh , got this cream my allergist gave me . it works , but it just takes -- come on -- takes a few minutes , so , uh , i do n't know . find something to do , and then we 'll -- when this goes away , we 'll get back to looking at that letter from franco 's mom . nathan : i 'll go get you a pair of non - latex gloves . dante : nah . kiki : ugh ! [ breathing heavily ] dante : kiki , what 's wrong ? kiki : i hate franco ! i never want to see his face again ! do you understand me ? ! dante : okay , wait a second . what happened ? what did he say to you ? kiki : just promise me that you will lock him in a cell and throw away the key ! dante : kiki , would you stop for a second and just tell me what he said to you ? kiki : oh , i -- ohh . dante : whoa , whoa , whoa . robin : uh , no . i 'm fine , uncle mac . i just , uh -- believe it or not , i was taking a nap/ . mac : wow . i bet you have n't done that in a while . robin : no . come in . mac : okay . robin : patrick took emma with him to the hospital today , so i figured , `` why not be lazy ? `` you know ? you said something was urgent . everything okay ? mac : well , i just dropped robert off at the airport . robin : did something happen ? mac : no , no . his flight took off without a hitch . but , uh , he insisted i come over right away and give you this . he would have done it himself , but it slipped his mind . robin : [ chuckles ] what ? a frog ? mac : yeah . well , robert explained , and let me see if i can get this right . the aborigine believed that frogs bring good luck . robert swore that the charm worked for him , and , you know , all things considered , i got to believe him . i mean , the number of times my brother escaped death is pretty astounding . robin : oh , tell me about it . mac : anyway , he , uh -- he wanted me to make sure , since he 's not here to watch out for you , that you have that charm with you at all time -- okay ? -- to protect you from the bad guys . robin : thanks , uncle mac . i could use this , especially now . [ sighs ] mac : why ? is someone giving you a hard time ? robin : yes . someone is giving me a really hard time . elizabeth : that is one ugly creature . emma : the internet says it only eats animals , but the stable lady told us that it sucks the blood of children , too . sabrina : [ gasps ] you should n't listen to that lady , emma . emma : why not ? sabrina : because she 's lying to you . [ chuckles ] there 's no such thing as a chupacabra . emma : then why would she say there was ? sabrina : maybe she was just having fun with you , like telling a scary story around a campfire . emma : no , i do n't think so . elizabeth : emma , it does n't really matter what her reasons are . sabrina : sometimes grown - ups do n't always tell the truth . emma : but you 're telling the truth about the baby , are n't you , sabrina ? because if you 're worried about me , you do n't have to be . sabrina : what do you mean ? emma : because of how mad i got when i thought that britt was having daddy 's baby . i did n't like her . but if you were having daddy 's baby , i 'd love it because i love you . patrick : are you worried about losing your son ? britt : no . you know how it is when you cherish someone so much that you just -- you think about all the horrible stuff that can happen . patrick : you know , i got to be honest . i - i was a little bit worried about you , about what kind of mother you 'd be . britt : yeah . that does n't surprise me . i do n't -- i do n't blame you . patrick : i 'm not anymore . britt : i did n't think i could do this , either -- i mean , especially when i lost you for good . i kept thinking , `` what 's even the point of having this baby ? `` and i 'm not proud to say that , but it 's true . i never used to think people could change . and then i went through it and changed . patrick : because of ben ? britt : yeah . and nikolas , too . nikolas : dante 's allergic , too ? lulu : yeah . the full name is latex - fruit syndrome . that sounds ridiculous . i feel a little guilty , but i giggled the first time dante told me about it . nikolas : i certainly do n't blame you . lulu : they have to supply him with special gloves at the p.d . -- non - latex . he has the same cream , too . nikolas : well , it definitely does the trick . and we 're gon na need a refill , 'cause this is the last of it . ben : [ shouts ] lulu : you know , dante is also allergic to bananas , avocados , grapes ... nikolas : cherries , strawberries , and ... lulu : celery . yeah , right . wow . that is an incredible coincidence that ben would have the same allergy as dante . dante : hang on . hold her head for a second . okay . yep . kiki . kiki , can you hear me ? nathan : she 's breathing , and her pulse is good . dante : kiki , open your eyes . heather : honey ... look ! no knife ! i hope you 're happy . nikolas must have found it . why does everything have to be so difficult ? here i am , stuck in a catacomb [ sniffles ] under a mansion with 100 rooms , and my knife could be anywhere ! this is -- [ chuckles ] i 'm doing it again . time for another cleansing breath . [ breathing deeply ] the knife must be in the house somewhere . so , while i go retrieve your murder weapon , you be sure to live life to the fullest ! nathan : brez , call an ambulance . dante : freeze , franco ! nikolas : look at him . lulu : what ? nikolas : he ca n't get enough of you . look at -- look at him . he 's smiling . he gets all starry - eyed when he 's around you , every time . lulu : aww . well , the feeling is mutual , sir . nikolas : here you go . and it 's time for a little -- little crib time , right , sir ? lulu : you are so good with him . nikolas : i 'll be right back . lulu : um , actually , uh , want some company ? ben : [ babbling ] nikolas : well , as long as you do n't laugh at me when i try and sing to him . lulu : [ chuckles ] i wo n't laugh . nikolas : you 're kind of already laughing . lulu : [ laughs ] maybe i should sing to him . ben : [ babbling continues ] lulu : connie always liked that . nikolas : okay . all right . let 's go . ben : [ babbling continues ] [ both laugh ] robin : the bad guy that i need this charm to protect me from is dr. obrecht , my former captor . did you hear she 's g.h .

todd : well , i go back to pcpd and have the joy of awaiting trial . lucy : oh . well , hey -- buck up . maybe you can beat those charges . todd : come on . my lawyer 's good . she 's not a miracle - worker . no . without this insanity defense , i 'm screwed . lucy : all right , well , that makes two of us . we 're both screwed , because every minute i am stuck in this place is every minute caleb is out there doing god knows what to the poor people of this town . todd : right . molly : you said it was a kid . did he tell you his name ? officer : never said a word . molly : what happened to him ? officer : they took him to the station . molly : okay . do you know why the officers running the investigation believe he killed his mom ? officer : found him by the victim , murder weapon in his hand . t.j. : what kind of kid offs his own mom ? hey . you okay ? molly : yeah , i just -- t.j. : it 's kind of cold out here . we should get home , get the baby out of the cold . molly : well , i mean , yeah , it 's a horrible story , but -- that guy i was telling you about , rafe ? t.j. : mm - hmm . molly : this is where i met him , and he was coming back here after lunch to meet his mom . t.j. : you mean the guy you felt sorry for so you bought him chili ? the guy who gave you the flower ? he killed his mom ? mcbain : i found alison 's son kneeling over her with the murder weapon in his hand . sam : oh , my god . rafe . mcbain : yeah . how did you know his name ? sam : lucy said that alison had a son named rafe . mcbain : guess he must have been named after his father . mcbain : no , lucy also said that alison 's husband was not rafe 's biological father . mcbain : so who was ? sam : you . anna : look , rafe , i understand . really , i do . this has got to be an unimaginable situation for you . you have to be terrified . but pinning a murder on a law - enforcement officer -- rafe : i am not pinning this on anyone . he did it . anna : maybe things got out of hand between you and your mother . you did n't mean to do what you did . rafe : no , i would never hurt her . i love her . loved her . anna : i 'm trying to help you , rafe . rafe : well , then help me . arrest him . anna : you were found at the crime scene , holding the murder weapon . it was covered in blood . how do you explain that to me ? mcbain : when lucy says that i 'm rafe 's father , i think what she means is -- sam : i think what she means is you 're caleb . lucy : you are not taking this seriously at all . none of us are safe ! none of us ! we are not safe ! nobody is safe ! todd : look , i 'm not a vampire , okay ? so just take it easy . lucy : okay , sorry . it 's just that a lot of people are in very serious danger . heather : what 'd i miss ? sabrina : do n't worry about the money for the nurses ' ball . we will find it somehow . elizabeth : you really think so ? sabrina : i do . where there 's a will , there 's a way . patrick : and when there 's no way , there 's sabrina santiago . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] sabrina : well , i do n't know about that . elizabeth : he 's right . i do n't see you giving up without a fight . and for the record , i 'm right there with you . [ pager beeping ] patrick : me too . i 'm gon na have to take this . elizabeth , thank you so much for trying . elizabeth : yeah , of course . patrick : and , sabrina , we will figure this out , okay ? dr. drake . yes . sabrina : what ? elizabeth : what do you mean `` what ? `` i obviously interrupted something . are you gon na tell me ? sabrina : they broke up . elizabeth : patrick and britt ? sabrina : he totally dumped her ! elizabeth : hallelujah ! [ both laugh ] lulu : maxie told me everything . britt : really ? lulu : that she slept with spinelli against your instructions , and i was really upset at first because it was so soon after implementation , i was afraid it could have affected the baby . britt : i had my concerns , as well . maxie : which we discussed . and that 's what you and dante overheard us talking about . lulu : can i be honest ? britt : yes , please . i mean , is n't that why we 're here ? lulu : you know , i was pretty upset with her , no doubt , but i 'm actually still very upset with you , dr. westbourne . todd : no , no . oh , no ! never again . never again ! never again ! lucy : obviously , she 's a good friend of yours . todd : if you mean somebody that nuked my life , yeah ! she 's , like , my best friend . heather : now , now , todd , `` nuked `` is an awfully strong word . todd : okay , demolished , obliterated , choked till its last gasping breath . you take your pick . heather : hey , i did n't force you to switch those babies . i merely made a suggestion . todd : a suggestion . are you listening to this ? todd : c - can i ask you something ? why are you here ? and by `` here , `` i mean , why are you here among the lowlife , perfectly normal disturbed people ? should n't you be somewhere , locked up in a straightjacket with the stupendously unstable people ? go ! please ! just go get your electric shock on ! heather : good to see you , too , todd . todd : do n't call me that . i do n't like the way she says my name . heather : do n't you think it 's fitting now that we 're both here ? i mean , after all we 've been through -- destiny . todd : no . it 's hell . i 've died and gone to hell . welcome to hell . kevin : i went to visit lucy in ferncliff today . felicia : how 'd it go ? kevin : bad as i expected . kevin : she just wo n't loosen her grip on this vampire fixation . mac : how long have you been dealing with this ? kevin : seems like ages . i mean , that 's the reason we separated in the first place . you know , lucy 's always had a bent for the supernatural . mac : [ chuckles ] madam maya , anyone ? kevin : yeah , i thought it was a harmless eccentricity , but then she became obsessed with this idea that she 's a slayer . when we separated , that seemed to recede for a while . she focused on her cosmetics company , and if she ever mentioned caleb the vampire king , it was because he was vanished , and she was afraid he 'd make a return . mac : do you think the collapse of her company triggered the relapse ? kevin : it 's possible . that and coming back here , bringing up all those old memories , emotions -- when she saw detective mcbain , she projected all of her fears onto him . she transformed him into a physical , tangible manifestation of all of her psychological demons . mac : did you try explaining that to lucy ? kevin : i told her i loved her . and i begged her to believe the vampires are n't real . mac : and , uh -- she did n't back down , huh ? kevin : she 's convinced that all these fantasies are real . felicia : well , maybe they are . sam : according to lucy , caleb had seduced alison , got alison pregnant , she had rafe , and when rafe sr . found out , he was a little bit concerned . mcbain : understandable . sam : no , not out of a jealousy sort of way . he thought that caleb was this vampire , as well , and he posed a threat to alison and her child , so -- he wanted to go after him . mcbain : okay , i 'm guessing that did n't end well . sam : well , it 's the last that anyone has ever heard or seen from alison 's husband . mcbain : right . now we got to figure out what happened today -- if rafe killed his mother and why . anna : rafe , you were holding the murder weapon . it had blood all over it . rafe : i was holding it because i pulled it out . do n't you understand ? i was trying to help her . anna : all right . rafe : after your officer stabbed her . anna : okay . can i get you some water or something ? i want to calm down . i want to -- let 's go back to the beginning . take a seat . so , you live here in port charles ? rafe : no . anna : where were you from ? rafe : we 're from all over the place . my mom and i came here to find someone named lucy coe . anna : lucy ? why ? rafe : my mom said she could help us , that she was the only one . anna : help you with what ? with money or something ? rafe : i do n't know . i -- i 'm not sure . my mom had all these strange ideas , and she believed lucy was the only answer . so she went to find her and told me to stay at the pier . that 's when she gave me that thing . anna : the weapon ? rafe : for protection . anna : protection against what , rafe ? all right . so you stay at the pier . rafe : no . i left . anna : even though your mother asked you to stay ? rafe : i met this girl . t.j. : maybe we should go to the police station and talk to the cops . molly : but i do n't know anything . t.j. : i think you might know more than you think . and it 's not cool to keep quiet about something so huge , molly . molly : okay . yeah , you 're right . i should come forward with any information i have . t.j. : come on . rafe : molly offered to buy me lunch , okay ? she felt bad for me or something . i do n't know . anyway , when we were done , i left the diner , went to the pier -- and that 's when i saw it . anna : what did you see ? alison : no ! [ laughing ] alison : no ! get off ! get off me ! rafe : mom ! alison : no , rafe ! no , please stay back there ! do n't ! no ! aah ! shh . alison : oh ! rafe : he killed her . he killed my mother . elizabeth : did patrick actually witness britt being britt ? sabrina : she was laying into me about making her look bad , right ? elizabeth : as if she needs you for that . sabrina : yeah , well , she said something like , `` i 'm gon na tell you what i told that little brat emma . i 'm gon na be in patrick 's life , and there 's nothing you can do about it `` -- you know , something like that . elizabeth : and he heard everything ? so there was no way she could get out of it ? sabrina : mnh - mnh . he said that they were over and that he could n't be with someone who did n't care for his child . elizabeth : oh , i am so glad that woman is out of their lives . sabrina : but she did not go down quietly . elizabeth : what do you mean ? sabrina : westbourne told patrick that i want him for myself . lulu : i understand that maxie is your patient , so anything that she tells you is confidential . i really get that . but i am your patient , too . and most importantly , so is my baby . so if something were to happen that could even remotely affect our child , dante and i have a right to know . britt : i completely agree . mac : felicia , vampires with fangs who combust when you put a stake in their heart ? come on . felicia : i know that the premise is outrageous , but lucy believes it to be real . mac , you saw her at the arraignment when detective mcbain walked in . kevin : i realize it 's not detective mcbain 's fault that lucy projected her delusions onto him , but why would he think it was a good idea to show up at her arraignment ? mac : well , he was there for another case . i mean , i do n't even think he knew lucy was in the courtroom . but when lucy saw him , she went berserk . it 's the only way to describe it . attacked him in front of a room full of witnesses . felicia : she was terrified . i could see it . i could feel it . i just do n't understand how something so real could be all in her head . heather : where do you think you 're going ? todd : oh , i 'm going to prison -- that 's where i 'm going -- thanks to you . and i got to say , honestly , it 's starting to be really appealing to me , given the alternative . lucy : you really , really do n't like her . todd : yeah , i really , really do n't like her . heather : todd 's just overreacting . we used to be a great team . todd : no , we were not ever anything , and we never will be . i do n't want anything to do with you . heather : suit yourself . but do n't go crying when you missed out . todd : on what ? heather : my plan . todd : right . 'cause your plans have worked out so well in the past . heather : you want to hear about it . i know you do . todd : no , i do n't . heather : yes , you do . todd : no , i do n't . i do n't . i do n't . not now , not ever . ever . heather : okay , then . i guess it 's just you and me . lucy : uh , no . no . you know , actually , you can count me out on that , too . i do n't think i ever want to be ever , ever involved with you , either , especially after what you did to edward . heather : but i loved edward . lucy : you loved his money . you married him for his money . heather : oh , will you get over it ? come on . he and lila are reunited in the next world , and we should start focusing on this one -- you know , the one that 's in imminent danger from those vampires . lucy : oh , okay , fine . i 'll bite . what does your plan have to do with that ? heather : well , you said you want to stop the evil forces ? i can help you do that . lucy : from in here . heather : no . from out there . sam : what 're you guys doing here ? hi ! i thought you would be in bed by now . molly : um , we got a little sidetracked . we heard a woman was killed on the pier . the police said her son did it . sam : well , that 's the theory . why ? molly : i think i know him . sam : how ? molly : is his name rafe ? mcbain : yes . his name is rafe . molly : ca n't believe this is happening . detective . mcbain : yeah . here you go . mcbain : thank you . molly : oh , my god . mcbain : what ? you 've seen this before ? molly : rafe had it . anna : so , this man that you say is detective mcbain , he struggled with your mother , and he grabs the weapon , and stabs her . rafe : yes . anna : what happened next ? rafe : she went down . she was really hurt . blood was everywhere , and -- i did n't know what to do , and the thing was still in her , so i -- pulled it out . anna : and the man , the murderer ? i do n't know . i was too focused on my mom . mom ! hold on . just hold on , okay ? i 'm & -- i 'm gon na get you help . alison : no , it 's too late , rafe . rafe : no , mom ! mom , you ca n't die ! alison : you got to save yourself , okay , rafe ? i love you so much . rafe : i love you , too . just & -- somebody help me ! no ! no ! alison : [ & gasps ; & ] anna : then what ? rafe : i just sat there , numb . when i finally looked up , i saw the man who stabbed her . only then , he was -- he was holding a gun . mcbain : police -- put the weapon down . step away from the body . anna : why did n't you defend yourself , rafe ? rafe : my mom was dead . i was looking at the man who stabbed her . i was scared . look , i swear to god , that 's exactly what happened . say you believe me . britt : all my patients deserve full disclosure . you and dante are no exception . lulu : thank you . britt : i apologize , lulu , if you felt like you were out of the loop . lulu : i realize that surrogacy is n't the most typical thing . britt : well , it wo n't happen again . lulu : that 's all i needed to hear . britt : and so we are all on the same page . the fetus maxie is carrying appears to be 100 % healthy . lulu : that is all i needed to hear . yay ! maxie : yay ! [ cell phone beeps ] lulu : there 's a crisis at the haunted star . i wanted to be here for your appointment but -- maxie : go , it 's okay . i 'll be fine . just go . lulu : you 'll let me know how the exam goes ? britt : absolutely . lulu : okay . i 'll call you . maxie : okay . lulu : thanks . maxie : so much for doctor - patient confidentiality . britt : okay , i did n't say anything , did i ? maxie : yeah , but you almost did . why would you tell lulu that i 'm not carrying her baby ? britt : 'cause it 's her fault . maxie : whose ? britt : the simpering little bitch of a nurse , sabrina . maxie : santiago ? emma 's babysitter ? britt : yes . she turned patrick against me , and now i 've lost him . elizabeth : how excited are you ? sabrina : about what ? elizabeth : patrick being done with britt . sabrina : um , hello ? did you not just hear the part about britt outing me ? elizabeth : [ scoffs ] sabrina : thank god patrick thought she was lying . elizabeth : why ? sabrina : i do n't know . because she lied about everything else . elizabeth : no , why the `` thank god `` part ? what 's so bad about patrick knowing how you feel ? sabrina : aside from complete and utter embarrassment ? elizabeth : okay , nothing -- no one is standing in your way . i say you go for it . sabrina : ah ! no . it 's impossible . he 's not interested . elizabeth : only one way to find out . come on . you were strong enough to stand up to britt , right ? and she is way worse than he could ever be . sabrina : true . elizabeth : come on , sabrina ! you can do this . just say the words and see what happens . maxie : so , you were about to implode not only my life , but lulu 's over a guy . i am really sorry patrick dumped you , but there is no reason that you need to take it out on us . britt : it 's gon na come out , maxie . secrets always do . you might as well get it over with now and tell lulu . maxie : i ca n't . britt : well , then i guess it 's on me . maxie : you ca n't tell , dr. westbourne . i 'm your patient , remember ? britt : you just heard what we talked about in here . lulu and dante are my patients , too . i owe it to them to be honest . maxie : no , no , no ! no , no , no , no ! okay . i will do whatever you want . just please keep quiet about this . lucy : yeah , right . you really have a plan to get all of us out of here . heather : yes , i do . lucy : okay . why would you risk it ? i mean , i have to get out of here because lives depend on it . but you ? are n't you better off being here in ferncliff than in prison ? heather : let 's just say i have a little unfinished business . todd : [ scoffs ] hair ball . hair . lucy : hey . whoa . hey . focus , focus . hey , you , here -- with me . okay . what is your plan ? todd : missing piece . heather : i got an idea . why do n't we go back to my room ? heather : you see , the details of my plan are to be disseminated on a need - to- know basis , and some people do n't need to know . todd : [ mocking ] `` some people do n't need to know . `` heather : let 's go . i 'll show you my latest macramé project ! lucy : [ chuckles ] yay . todd : [ giggles mockingly ] have fun macraméing . lucy : oh , shut up . you probably think i 'm making a big , fat mistake . todd : yeah , i think you 're making a big , fat mistake . lucy : well , i ca n't help it . i have no choice . i am the only one that can kill the vampire . todd : well , you better stock up on garlic and wooden stakes , then . lucy : thank you for that tip . look , i just wanted to say something that i am sorry you might go to prison because i get the feeling that maybe that whole baby - switching thing -- well , just maybe your intentions were actually good . todd : wait . heather : yes , todd ? todd : [ sighs ] i 'm in . kevin : i do n't doubt that you saw real terror from lucy . i mean , she really believes that vampires and angels are real . mac : angels ? kevin : oh , did i neglect to mention her cousin , rafe kovich ? he was an angel sent from heaven to battle the forces of darkness on earth . he disappeared years ago . i do n't know . maybe he flew back to heaven . felicia : i 'm sorry , kevin . i can see how much this is hurting you . kevin : i 'm not an easy person , and neither is lucy , but we complemented each other . felicia : yeah . kevin : she was intuitive . i was intellectual . she would operate on instinct , and i would overanalyze . but all the give - and - take , the mutual compromise , it made us better . we were greater than the sum of our flaws . and let 's be honest -- i 'm the one with the questionable mental history . at least until this vampire delusion took hold . felicia : even if lucy is delusional -- no , scratch that . especially if she is , do n't you think you need to be there by her side , now more than ever ? kevin : you 've been talking to alexis . mac : she say the same thing ? kevin : it 's what convinced me to go out to ferncliff -- that and the fact that lucy is still my wife -- and i love her . mac : then why are you giving up on her so easily ? molly : i was just feeding the ducks with danny , and i -- i ran into rafe at the pier . we started talking . he asked if he could have my stale bread . sam : what ? to eat ? molly : yeah , he was hungry , so i decided to buy him some food at kelly 's . mcbain : did he mention his mother at any time ? molly : said they 'd traveled a lot . mcbain : traveled a lot . did -- did he say anything that would suggest that he wanted to hurt her ? molly : no . not really . t.j. : you have to tell them everything , molly . mcbain : anything rafe said about his mother would help us . molly : he did say one thing . mcbain : what 's that ? molly : well -- rafe said that sometimes he wishes he could be free of his mom . rafe : i did not kill my mother . why would i do that ? anna : that 's what we 're trying to figure out . rafe : you want answers ? ask him . tell her what you did . mcbain : what now ? anna : rafe thinks that you killed his mother . mcbain : hey , kid , i do n't know what you think you saw out there -- rafe : just admit it , you bastard ! mcbain : admit what ? rafe : my mom was right the whole time . she said someone was after us . and it was you ! it was you ! anna : hey ! hey ! stop ! molly : i know how it sounds , but i really do n't think rafe meant he wanted to hurt his mom . t.j. : come on . they -- molly : no , he 's just tired of being dragged around all the time . t.j. : they found the guy with the murder weapon , molly . molly : but that 's not proof of anything . maybe he was in shock and picked it up without thinking , or maybe he was even trying to help her . t.j. : why are you so bent on defending him ? molly : why are you attacking him ? sam : look , i think what t.j. 's trying to say is that we do n't know anything about rafe . t.j. : yeah . i mean , it 's kind of tough , considering you just met him 2 seconds ago . molly : you 're right . i do n't know that he 's innocent . but you also do n't know that he 's guilty . we do n't know what happened on that pier . we have n't heard the whole story . rafe : molly . molly , i did n't do it . anna : i 'm taking him to booking . mcbain : want me to go with you ? anna : no , no , you stay here . where 's caruso ? rafe : i swear i did n't do it , molly . anna : come on . felicia : this is lucy we 're talking about . kevin : i 'm aware . felicia : your lucy . the two of you belong together . kevin : i used to believe that , felicia . i did . but -- things change . felicia : well , yeah , of course they change . life throws us all kinds of curve balls . but , you know , love is love . and it defies all odds . it perseveres through anything . kevin : well , that 's how it 's worked out for you and mac , and i commend you both for it . felicia : mac and i have been apart a lot , and that 's my fault . but i know -- well , i 've always known that , deep down , if i really needed him and i got into trouble , he would be there for me . mac : i would . i would . just like i know felicia would show up for me . kevin : and i 'm happy for both of you . but this situation is a little different , do n't you think ? you do n't have a vampire between you . mac : we had frisco . does that count ? felicia : [ chuckles ] the point is , is that we got past it . i put frisco behind me . and lucy can put her vampire behind her . you just have to stick by her . heather : but i thought you wanted nothing to do with me ever again . todd : i do n't even like breathing because i know that sometimes , maybe , you breath . heather : stop with the sweet talk . i ca n't take it . todd : but i 'm not going back to prison . so -- count me in on your little plan to get out of here . lucy : wait a minute . did n't you just mention that all her plans are doomed ? todd : no , i did n't -- i -- lucy : no , you did . you strongly implied it . you strongly implied it . todd : no , what i said was she 's a complete lunatic , but she 's managed to break out of this snake pit twice . heather : that you know of . todd : so what 's the word ? heather : okay . you can come . just remember that i 'm the boss of this operation . got it ? lucy : okay . i got it . todd : all right . heather : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? todd : i said `` unh huh huh unh . `` heather : all right , listen up . i 've made it my business to befriend the most influential people in the staff at this place . i 'm talking about the attendants , the nurses , the cooks , the janitors . todd : janitors are influential . heather : i 've convinced them that they are overworked and they are underpaid . and they believe me . and i 've told them that their only hope is to stand together as a united force , so that 's what they 're gon na do . i 've started a revolution . you know , like those restaurant people in the fast - food place in new york ? todd : okay , che guevara , where does this action take us ? what does it get us ? heather : there 's gon na be a massive walkout tonight . lucy : whoa , whoa , whoa . right here , with all this staff ? heather : yeah . they 're gon na walk out , and we 're gon na walk out right behind them . sabrina : no , i ca n't . elizabeth : why not ? sabrina : because what am i supposed to do ? just walk right up to him and say , `` hey , excuse me , patrick . i 'm sorry for interrupting your phone call , but i just wanted to let you know that i have been madly in love with you from the first moment i laid eyes on you `` ? elizabeth : eh , you might want to dial that down just a notch , but that 's the general idea . come on . all you have to say is , `` dr. westbourne was right . i do have feelings for you . `` sabrina : just like that . elizabeth : just like that . sabrina : and then ? elizabeth : and then see what he says . sabrina : no ! this is crazy . elizabeth : [ sighs ] sabrina : look , just because patrick and dr. westbourne are over does n't mean that he 's gon na magically want me . elizabeth : maybe not . but you 'll never know unless you put yourself out there . maxie : i can help you get patrick back . britt : how ? maxie : i have n't gotten that far yet , but we 're close . i was married to his brother , and -- robin was family . britt : no . forget it . my dreams of riding off into the sunset are trashed , thanks to -- maxie : oh , god . i think you 're getting an idea , and that makes me kind of scared . britt : yeah , on second thought , maybe there is something you can do for me . maxie : no ! no , no , no ! wait , wait , wait ! why did you run out like that ? britt : well , when you did n't respond , i assumed you changed your mind . you know , it 's probably for the best . i can call lulu , and i will make a full disclosure . i 'll explain that you 're having spinelli 's baby and not hers . maxie : no , no ! okay . whatever you want , i 'll do it . i 'm in . britt : glad to hear it . maxie : so , what are we talking about here ? you want a makeover ? britt : [ chuckles ] maxie : not that you need one . um -- some personal shopping , i 'm hoping ? britt : you 're gon na help me destroy sabrina santiago . sabrina : it 's just that i -- i 'm not the type of person to just -- i ca n't tell patrick about my feelings for him , okay ? elizabeth : where is felix when you need him ? sabrina : why ? elizabeth : i do n't know . 'cause he 's really good at pep talk . sabrina : no . thank god felix is not here , because if felix were here , he would march right up and tell patrick about it himself . elizabeth : yes . and maybe that 's exactly what needs to happen . sabrina : no , no ! elizabeth , please , please , please . elizabeth : i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding . but , seriously , you need to talk to patrick , and the sooner , the better . patrick : sorry about that . sabrina : no problem . patrick : all right , well , i 'm gon na assume that you filled elizabeth in . elizabeth : sabrina was n't gossiping . i just noticed it was a little tense . patrick : tomorrow afternoon , everybody 's gon na know that britt and i broke up . elizabeth : yeah . sorry about that . patrick : no , do n't say sorry , because you 're not . in fact , this is probably the time where you say that you told me so . elizabeth : actually , sabrina has something to tell you . [ muffled shouting ] heather : follow my lead . mac : so , what do you think kevin 's gon na do about lucy ? felicia : i do n't know . obviously , he loves her so much . mac : well , hopefully that 'll be enough . felicia : well , it was for us . mac : [ chuckles ] felicia : are we lucky or what ? mac : finally , after all this time . nothing to get in our way . felicia : mnh - mnh . mac : i got to go in the stock room . it 's gon na take a while . it 's a mess . felicia : okay .

[ scene_break ] kevin : so -- what 's with the getup ? lucy : oh ! this old thing ? you know , it 's kind of what we wear when we need to wear something wearable . heather : yes . the uniforms , you mean . doctor , is it ? kevin : collins , yes . heather : this uniform ? it 's the one worn by the duly deputized security guards here at ferncliff state institution . todd : yep ! heather : and what my taciturn co - worker is trying to say is that -- well , uh , we 're just trying to take care of things here . todd : what we have here -- [ clears throat ] -- is the population of port charles needing our protection from these maniacs . heather : actually -- kevin : `` maniacs `` ? is that the clinical term they 're using nowadays ? heather : my co - worker 's suddenly very talkative , and he 's referring to our inmates . you know , they 're -- they 're very often mis -- todd : oh , they 're madder than a bag of rats . heather : misunderstood by society at large . and that 's why we have to go and guard this institution . kevin : i see . except right now , it does n't seem like you 're guarding much of anything . heather : well , no . because we 're not . and i 'll tell you why -- because the conditions here are deplorable . todd : right . heather : we are underpaid and overworked , and it is about time for change . todd : what we have here is a strike . heather : that 's right . and management refuses to do anything about it , so until they do , we 're walking out . kevin : but what about the inmates ? you know , the patients . i mean , you ca n't just leave them here , and you ca n't walk out with them , especially this one . you do realize this woman is a patient , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] maxie : i do n't understand . i mean , this girl , sabrina , is like the walking embodiment of beige . i mean , most of the time , you do n't even know she 's there . britt : oh , well , do n't let her fool you . i found up close and personal that she 's a class - a conniving bitch . maxie : why ? what did she do to you ? britt : well , she wormed her way into patrick 's house . he needed a babysitter , and you were n't around as much anymore , so how could he pass her up ? and that 's when sabrina started her little whisper campaign . while i was out being wined and dined by patrick , she was filling that trusting girl 's head up with lies . maxie : why would sabrina do something like that ? britt : why else ? because the quickest way to patrick is through emma , and sabrina wants patrick for herself . [ scene_break ] steve : [ humming ] olivia : what the hell , steve ? ! what the hell are you doing with her ? ! steve : what 're you talking about ? what am i doing with who ? olivia : that mousy little skank ! steve : liv ! wait ! sabrina : it 's just , um -- patrick : is everything okay ? sabrina : yes . everything will be as soon as i say what i need to say . i -- olivia : nurse santiago . sabrina : yes . olivia : olivia falconeri . sabrina : yes , i know . how can i be of service , ms. falconeri ? olivia : well , you can start by staying the hell away from my fiancé . [ scene_break ] frisco : we could start with `` hello . `` felicia : what 're you doing here ? frisco : i got your message . felicia : well , that was two months ago . frisco : i -- was n't easily accessible . but when i came up for air , my handler got me the message , and -- mac : oh , i got to spend some time in that stock room . that place is a mess ! i -- frisco ? what the hell are you doing here ? frisco : hello , mac . been a long time . i 'm not gon na be able to hold it up there much longer . mac : you look tired . long trip ? frisco : yeah , long trip . i guess a life of covert ops and dodging bullets takes its toll . but you look rested . mac : you look great . so , tell us , frisco , what could possibly drag you away long enough from your adventures to grace us with your presence ? frisco : my daughter 's pregnant . is that supposed to be a secret ? mac : i knew . i knew . i 've been holding her hand the whole time . frisco : well , it 's pretty exciting news , right ? granted , it 's luke spencer 's grandchild . either way , i thought it was time to pay maxie a visit . mac : it was n't time when maxie was on trial for her life and georgie lost hers , huh ? frisco : i was -- in the field . mac : you 're always in the field , frisco . in fact , you made it perfectly clear that staying in the field takes priority over everything else in your life , including your remaining daughter . tell me , how did you even find out about maxie ? frisco : i found out from my wife . [ scene_break ] maxie : sabrina 's in love with patrick . britt : uh , love ? i did n't say `` love . `` maxie : you 're right . she said she wants him all for herself . britt : because she 's a manipulative social climber . i mean , i guess she 's realized that no man with status , intelligence , or eyes would ever be interested in her . so like the parasite that she is , she attaches herself to the nearest doctor , and any doctor will do . i mean , before patrick , it was steve webber . maxie : steve ? but everybody knows he 's with olivia . britt : exactly -- everybody , even sabrina , but that did n't stop her from chasing after him . [ scene_break ] sabrina : i have not been anywhere near dr. webber . olivia : i saw what i saw , okay ? sabrina : i 'm sorry . i have no idea what you 're talking about . olivia : you and steve in the shower , very up close and personal . elizabeth : okay , olivia , when did you see this ? olivia : just now . elizabeth : well , sabrina has been on duty for several hours . this was obviously one of your visions . olivia : i know it 's one of my visions . elizabeth : then you know it did n't happen . olivia : um , i know it did n't happen yet , but you know very well that my visions always have a way of coming true , right ? so -- what ? what 's with the little look over there ? ! what 's going on with you and steve ? sabrina : nothing . nothing has happened between me and dr. webber and nothing ever will . olivia : you 're damn right nothing ever will , because you 're gon na start steering clear of my man . steve : olivia , what 's going on ? you ran out like a shot . olivia : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i went into the shower room , and i saw santiago here all coiled up around you like a hungry python . steve : liv , there 's nothing going on between me and sabrina . olivia : i trust you . but you know that my visions , the sixth sense , has never steered us wrong yet . what ? what are you people not telling me ? ! what ? ! steve ? steve : apparently , sabrina has a crush on me . [ scene_break ] starr : so , when i went to ferncliff , my dad was bragging about how he was gon na fake d.i.d . so that he could avoid standing trial . michael : how would that even work ? starr : because he has all of his alters already lined up . there 's tom , who 's super - nice , and then there 's pete , who 's super - mean , and then there 's miss perkins . michael : miss -- miss perkins . starr : yeah , miss perkins is the gatekeeper . she keeps all the alters in line . michael : and which one did you walk in on ? starr : i walked in on rod . michael : and rod is -- ? starr : rod is a mix between gomez addams and pepé le pew . it 's disturbing . michael : well , what did you do ? starr : well , i kind of let my dad con the doctors , so i threatened to turn in a tape that i had made years ago of him admitting that he was faking d.i.d . then i sat in on his evaluation , and -- made sure that he was found competent . michael : okay , so your father 's going to trial after all , then . starr : yeah . where he will be found guilty , because -- let 's face it -- he is totally guilty . they 're probably transporting him back to the police station as we speak . [ scene_break ] heather : this woman is a patient ? lucy : oh , please do n't do this . kevin : her name is lucy coe . she was admitted for evaluation after stabbing a police officer . heather : i thought she worked on your shift . todd : i thought she worked on your shift . heather : oh , my goodness . we almost let her walk out on our walkout . todd : you know what ? we should probably get going to the rally , 'cause i do n't want to miss the part where they blow up the giant inflatable rat . heather : here , doctor ! why do n't you escort the patient back to her room ? kevin : because i ca n't . i do n't work here . heather : we do n't , either . in fact , we need to be leaving . we 're going on -- lucy : no , no ! do n't -- do n't do it . not so fast . we were supposed to leave together , all three of us ! all three of us or none at all ! that was the deal ! kevin : deal ? what deal ? [ sighs ] lucy , what is going on ? todd : what 's going on is she is a complete fruitcake ! lucy : oh ! okay , fine ! i 'll tell you what 's going on ! fine ! that is the notorious heather webber , and that guy is todd manning , who i guess is apparently newsworthy , and we are all inmates at ferncliff -- me , you , and you -- all three of us ! [ scene_break ] mac : felicia 's not your wife anymore . i did n't know you and frisco were in touch . felicia : well , i was n't directly in touch with frisco . i had to wrangle with a bunch of government bureaucrats just to get a message to him in the field . i wanted him to know about maxie . mac : i just do n't understand why you did n't tell me that you had contacted him . frisco : hey , mac , i understand that you and felicia have a history . mac : we were married . frisco : well , i 'm not sure how that now - defunct marriage entitles you to keep tabs on whether or not the mother of my children drops me a line once in a while . felicia : once . i dropped one line , not once in a while . felicia : see , she 's becoming defensive because of you already . why is it any of your business what felicia 's -- mac : it 's my business , frisco , because i 'm the one who raised maxie and georgie when you could n't be bothered . and just so you know , felicia and i , we 're back together again . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : way to go , steven . steve : it 's not like i wanted this to happen . i 'm sorry , liv . i should 've been up front with you from the start . olivia : from the start ? steve : i just did n't want to make things uncomfortable for sabrina . olivia : uh , okay . wait a second . how long has this whole thing been going on ? you 've all known about this all along ? patrick : okay , time - out . let 's just cool down a little bit . this is a hospital . people gossip . usually it 's not true . steve : he 's right . it 's not a big deal . in fact , i thought it was over a long time ago . olivia : i do n't know . i think maybe we should talk to nurse santiago about this . uh , what ? she 's obviously the one that still wants to jump his bones ? sabrina : what ? no ! i d -- i do n't want to jump his bones . olivia : so you do n't have the hots for him anymore ? sabrina : yes . i mean , no , no ! i do n't . i do n't have a crush or a thing or the hots for dr. webber . [ scene_break ] britt : sabrina 's the type of girl who ca n't forge her own identity , so she attaches herself to a successful guy who can spend all of his hard - earned money on taking care of her . it 's sad . maxie : yeah , it is sad . it 's all very `` real housewifey . `` i hope she never gets her own reality show , and i hope that you can open patrick 's eyes to her true evil ways , but , unfortunately , i think that i have to go . britt : uh , no , not until i know you 're on board in bringing down sabrina . maxie : britt , i do n't think that i 'm the best person for this job . i mean , sabrina and i , we 're not even that close . britt : you 're close to patrick . maxie : i am . i 'm making a real effort to focus on this pregnancy , though , and not shenanigans . britt : i 'm making an effort , too , maxie -- an effort to not tell dante and lulu that you 're pregnant with a baby that 's not theirs . but no matter how hard i try , i 'm worried the better angels of my nature will prevail and the truth will come out -- which would be too bad for you . [ scene_break ] lulu : dr. westbourne makes this huge deal about telling me that maxie slept with spinelli on new year 's eve . dante : which you already knew . lulu : yeah , so i told her i was disappointed that she did n't tell us the other day . dante : well , maybe she was concerned with the doctor - patient confidentiality . lulu : nonetheless , i made it clear that , as the parents of the child that maxie 's carrying , we have a right to know what 's going on . dante : that 's good . so , what about maxie ? i mean , you know , we talked about backing off a little bit , making her see that we trust her . lulu : she understands that i need to be involved . she completely agreed with everything that i said to dr. westbourne . dante : hmm . so how did the rest of the appointment go ? lulu : i do n't know . there was a minor crisis at the haunted star , so i had to leave . dante : you know , you should look into getting some help now that your business partner is out of the picture . [ cell phone rings ] lulu : hold that thought . hello ? britt : i have some information for you and dante about the baby . [ scene_break ] starr : i wish i could say this is unusual for us , but this is just the typical manning dance -- my father gets in trouble , and then he expects me to bail him out , which i usually do . michael : well , do n't beat yourself up about it . starr : i helped my dad escape from the police twice , and the first time was when i was eight years old . michael : well , i guess it 's a good thing you 're breaking that pattern now , right ? starr : absolutely ! and i 'm not gon na let myself feel guilty about it . michael : and you should n't . starr : right . but then i keep thinking about my brothers and -- i mean , jack -- he hates my dad -- but then there 's sam who looks up to him like he 's a hero , and i know that it sounds weird , but my dad never wants to disappoint sam . michael : well , i 'm sure your dad never wanted to disappoint you , either , okay ? starr : once he goes to prison , he 'll be out of all of our lives for good , and -- it 'll all be because of me . [ scene_break ] kevin : heather webber ? heather webber ? ! the same heather webber who tried to swindle edward quartermaine ? heather : i 'll have you know that man could n't keep his hands off me . i was only trying to comfort him . todd : we really need to go . kevin : you 're not going anywhere . if any of you move one step , i swear , i 'm calling this in . in fact , i wonder if the staff would delay their strike long enough to take you back . lucy : no , no , no ! please , please , doc -- please , this is my only chance . kevin : no , your only chance is here in ferncliff . lucy , you have to face up to what you did so you can get better ! lucy : i do n't have time ! i do n't have time . i have to save port charles ! kevin : from caleb . lucy : yes , from caleb ! i am the only one who -- wait . doc , think -- we banished caleb before , and we can do it again . all i need is for you to help me ! kevin : that 's why i 'm here , lucy . lucy : no , not for that -- not psychiatric help ! i mean real help -- the help i really need to destroy the vampire . kevin : you know , i saw mac and felicia . lucy : okay , there you go ! if you love them half as much -- kevin : and i told them that i could n't do this anymore , that i had to leave you . but they made me see that i was wrong . i ca n't turn my back on you , lucy . todd : that 's heartwarming , and i 'm totally pulling for the two of you as a couple , but we really need to go . heather : we really have to go now ! lucy : doc , did you mean that ? did you really mean you could n't turn your back on me ? well , then , please , just say you believe me . kevin : i love you , lucy , and we 're going to get you out of here , but we 're going to do it the right way . lucy : oh , doc . heather : oh , gag me . todd : gag you ? gag him . kevin : lucy , do n't run . stay here with me . let me be by your side . let me -- lucy : aah ! todd : oh ! [ laughing ] lucy : oh ! [ scene_break ] starr : okay , enough with the gloomy talk . michael : you sure ?

[ scene_break ] lulu : how was your day ? dante : eh , it was a stakeout , so -- lulu : lots of coffee and sitting around ? dante : yeah . mcbain saw all the action . a woman was murdered at pier 52 . lulu : wow . that 's awful . the department really should do something about that place . it 's getting worse and worse . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : did you guys catch the murderer ? dante : maybe . lulu : what does that mean ? dante : well , mcbain found the woman 's teenage son kneeling by the body with the murder weapon . lulu : oh , that 's awful . did he confess ? dante : no , but when we got him to talk finally , all he said was that mcbain did it .

[ scene_break ] mac : so , when you were telling frisco about maxie 's pregnancy , why did n't you tell him we were back together ? felicia : well , because when i was leaving a message about maxie to frisco 's handler , it never occurred to me to talk about my love life . mac : was that it , or are you -- ? felicia : am i what ? mac : embarrassed . felicia : by what ? mac : by your bartender boyfriend . felicia : are you serious ? mac : come on , felicia . even when i was police commissioner , you know , i was n't exactly infiltrating terrorist cells and taking down hostile regimes . felicia : as i recall , you took a bullet or two in your day . mac : yeah , and look at me now . felicia : i am . i am looking at you now . i love what i see , and i have to tell you that i feel luckier now than i ever have to be with you here . mac : then why did n't you tell him ? felicia : because it 's just none of his business . he 's my ex - husband , and my connection with him starts and ends with maxie , and i thought that he should know about maxie , so i left him a message . mac : and then what ? when he showed up , you were gon na spring our relationship on him then ? felicia : actually , no , i did n't even think he would show up . i mean , come on . it 's frisco we 're talking about . mac : exactly . and now that he 's here ? felicia : and now that he 's here , so what ? i 'm with you , and no amount of bragging about covert ops or espionage is gon na change that , period . frisco : so -- how about that toast ?

[ scene_break ] lucy : come on . no one is going anywhere without these babies . todd : ha ! lucy : todd ! todd : lucy , i do n't have time for this . anybody who wants to escape , walk this way . heather : i 'm right behind you . todd : you know what ? no . that 's not okay with me . i do n't want you behind me . i 'll follow you . heather : you are such a wuss . lucy : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait ! unh ! oh , doc . doc , listen to me -- i am so sorry all of this happened , and i 'm so happy that you could n't leave me behind . but please know i got to do this . i got to go kill caleb . i have to . and this probably is n't the best decision i 've ever made but it 's the one i have to make , so -- i love you . mwah ! oh . | dr. westbourne threatens to tell lulu everything if maxie does n't help her destroy sabrina 's life . she says sabrina wants to attach herself to any doctor and that before she latched onto patrick , it was steve webber . olivia goes into the general hospital locker room and sees steve in the shower with sabrina , but steve is alone in the shower . patrick invites elizabeth to say she told him so about britt . elizabeth says sabrina has something to tell him . sabrina is saved from saying anything because olivia comes up and tells her to stay away from steve . she reveals that she saw the two of them in the shower , and she knows it was a vision , but she also knows her visions come true . steve comes up and tells olivia that apparently sabrina has a crush on him , but that she has never acted on it . sabrina says she got over her crush when patrick told her that steve was unavailable so she is not interested in him at all . patrick apologizes to sabrina for not seeing how badly britt treats her . he says that apparently he is n't ready to date yet , but when he is , it wo n't be someone he works with . sabrina offers to resume babysitting . patrick says he 'd rather have sabrina as a friend . sabrina tells elizabeth that being patrick 's friend is good enough . britt follows patrick to the elevator and tells him that she wo n't make him uncomfortable at work . he acknowledges that she spoke and gets on the elevator . |
felix : [ sighs ] seriously ? nothing new on carly . what is this , a press blackout ? what are the cops doing to find her ? brad : bad time ? felix : oh . no , no , no . i was just looking at some updates . nice flower . brad : for you . to commemorate our first date . i had a really great time . felix : me too . brad : just one regret . felix : the crème brûlée . brad : we did n't get a chance to kiss goodnight . sabrina : felix -- [ gasps ] oh . i 'm so sorry . i did n't realize . i 'm sorry . felix : no , w - what 's up ? sabrina : no , nothing . i , um , no , never mind . felix : sabrina , why are you so upset ? sabrina : because , um ... brad : one mississippi ... two mississippi ... felix : okay , what ? sabrina : patrick knows i 'm not carrying carlos ' baby . patrick : i need to talk to you . robin : okay . should i sit down ? patrick : maybe . [ sighs ] it turns out sabrina 's baby ... it 's mine after all . nikolas : hi . elizabeth : hello . how 's my favorite cassadine ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : hey , where 's cameron ? nikolas : i - i dropped him off at lesley 's . i wanted to talk to you about britt . britt : how did that get opened ? [ creaking ] dante : no one goes home until we get our prisoner back . lulu : is this a bad time ? dante : uh , no . no . what 's going on ? lulu : you remember lucas , my cousin ? dante : yeah . hey , man . been a while . lucas : yeah . lulu : too long . dante : what can i do for you ? lucas : we heard about franco . lulu : is it true that he escaped ? dante : unfortunately , yeah . that freak is on the loose . franco : `` you 're going to pay . `` heather webber ! gah ! you survived ? ! how ? ! i killed you ! i -- heather ! gah ! where are you ? !

elizabeth : hmm . i thought we were kind of civil , all things considered . nikolas : i do n't know . i was just kind of hoping that you might want to -- elizabeth : might want to , what , be friends ? nikolas : no , no . just give her a chance , elizabeth . come on . elizabeth : oh , nikolas , i have given her multiple chances . remember , we 've worked together in the same place for more than a year . and i still do n't like her . i do n't trust her . she tried to get patrick to believe that she was carrying his baby when it was brad cooper 's the whole time . nikolas : yeah , um ... ben is not brad 's son . brad : 901 mississippi ... sabrina : you know , i should go . um , i interrupted you guys . felix : no , no , no . brad : 903 mississippi ... ah . got it . clearly a private thing , and i get the feeling this is gon na take a while . felix : i 'm sorry . brad : hey , no problem . we 'll pick up some other time . felix : why do n't we have a drink after my shift ends ? i mean , unless you already have plans . brad : i would love to have a drink . felix : okay , then . felix : do n't tell me elizabeth ran her mouth . sabrina : no , she promised that she would n't . felix : then how did patrick find out about the baby ? sabrina : i told him . robin : but she said that it was carlos , that it was her ex . patrick : she lied . carlos lied , and she went along with it . robin : why ? why would she lie ? what , because if you were on the fence , then you might have stayed with her ? patrick : robin , you have to understand something , okay ? family is very important to sabrina . it 's part of the reason her and emma bonded so well , 'cause sabrina lost her mother when she was young , and they had that . so when you came back , as hard as it was on her , she accepted it . robin : okay . patrick : she respected our marriage because she lived through what britt tried to do with her baby by inserting herself into my life . robin : i know . i heard all about what happened at the nurses ' ball . patrick : right , so sabrina did n't want that . she does n't -- she does n't want this baby to come between me and you the way britt 's baby almost came between me and her . britt : hello ? is anyone down there ? dr. obrecht : hello ! britt : damn it , mother . you scared me to death . dr. obrecht : you 're the picture of health . stop exaggerating . britt : what are you doing here ? dr. obrecht : oh , ca n't mutter give her daughter a hello , hmm ? britt : [ chuckles ] let me rephrase that . what do you want ? oh , does it have something to do with what 's going on beneath the house ? were you down there puttering around in your favorite playground ? dante : franco 's almost - daughter kiki jerome passed out in the middle of the station , created a distraction , and franco took off . lucas : did it occur to anybody to put the guy in cuffs ? dante : yeah , he was cuffed to the table in the interrogation room , but kiki gave him a paper clip , and he picked the lock . lucas : so once she got him out of the cuffs and caused a diversion , he got past , what , half a dozen cops ? dante : actually , i - i shot him first . is that okay with you ? lulu : what about kiki ? dante : she 's downstairs in lockup . lucas : i assume you 're gon na throw the book at her . lulu : does she know where franco was headed ? dante : if she does , she 's not saying anything . but we 're gon na keep -- lucas : what else are you guys doing to find my sister ? dante : actually we 're doing lots of stuff . we 've got an a.p.b . out on franco . the entire squad is out scouring the city . no one 's going home until we find franco . lucas : that 's it . lulu : lucas ! dante : look , man , we find franco , we find carly . it 's that simple . lucas : but franco 's gone . and you have no idea where . franco : sweet christmas , you frightened me . mrs. mcclain : pish tosh . nothing to be scared of here . franco : really ? cemetery ... middle of the night ... dead of winter . mrs. mcclain : and plenty of company . in fact , my dearly departed harold is waiting for me . franco : harold . your husband ? mrs. mcclain : mm . his grave is right over there , only a stone 's throw from the one you just dug up . um , do you mind explaining to me what you 're doing here , disturbing the dead ? dr. obrecht : you expect me to tramp around those dismal caves in these shoes ? britta , why would you buy such a thing ? it 's anatomically incorrect . you are teaching my grandson that life is one big bowl of mutant plushies . britt : are you sure you were n't in the catacombs ? dr. obrecht : quite . britt : so if i go down there , i 'm not gon na find a new captive . dr. obrecht : i have a hospital to run . if there 's mischief afoot here tonight , it has nothing to do with me . heather : carly , you lucky girl . i 'm about to send you to your maker . [ gasps ] dante : nobody is giving up , lucas . the pcpd will keep working at this till we bring your sister home . lucas : what , in a box ? 'cause that 's where she 's gon na be if we do n't find her soon . lulu : okay , you do n't know that . lucas : i need some air . lulu : i 'm so sorry . dante : nah . he 's just scared . lulu : joss called this morning . he had to lie to her . dante : how are you holding up ? lulu : just trying to keep everything going at the house , make sure bobbie 's eating , that lucas is getting enough sleep . dante : who 's taking care of you ? you know , you can -- you can talk to me . lulu : i know . i think that your time is better spent just trying to find my cousin . what am i gon na tell you ? tell you that i 'm scared ? dante : i do n't know . just does n't hurt to know that you 're not alone . i wo n't let you down again . lulu : you did n't let me down . life let me down . i just -- i 'm a little gun- shy . i feel like i 'm losing everybody , and it scares me even more . dante : it 's okay to be scared . just know that you can trust me , and i promise you i will bring carly home . carly : [ muffled ] come on . come on . [ creaking ] heather : i 'll thank you to take your hand off me , sir . victor : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to startle you . heather : so , coming up behind a woman -- that usually works for you ? i 'll tell you something , pal . i 've taken down men twice your size , so a word to the wise . victor : i 'll consider myself forewarned . heather : who are you ? what are you doing here ? victor : victor cassadine at your service . my great - nephew is master of this island . and you are ? mrs. mcclain : i asked you a question , young man . what are you doing here ? robbing the dead ? franco : rob the dead ? me ? no . w - well ... although for what they charge for a decent funeral ... mrs. mcclain : why are you here ? franco : i 'm digging a grave because i 'm a grave digger . mrs. mcclain : really ? [ scoffs ] well , i 've met all the grave diggers , and you 're not one of them . lucas : hey , it 's me , l - lucas . brad : hi . you okay ? lucas : no . i - i mean , yeah . i 'm fine . it 's just ... brad : your dad ? lucas : no . my sister . uh , the guy the cops had in custody , the guy they think kidnapped her , he escaped . brad : i 'm so sorry . is there anything i can do ? lucas : i could use a hug . any chance you 're free tonight ? brad : uh ... lucas : i mean , we do n't have to . we can just get a drink . felix : after everything you did to spin that lie , inviting your mobbed - up ex- boyfriend into our lives , making a liar out of me , you go and volunteer to tell patrick yourself . sabrina : i had to . felix : yes , you did . but why now ? sabrina : because emma overheard me talking to elizabeth . i had to tell patrick the truth . now he has to tell robin . patrick : i did n't want this . i wanted us to have a fresh start . robin : it 's not your fault . [ sighs ] i guess it 's no one 's fault . sabrina ... thought she was marrying you . it sounds like she still tried to protect you . patrick : you must have some questions . robin : yeah . patrick : okay . what are they ? robin : the woman you were about to marry is having your child . how does that make you feel ? elizabeth : what do you mean ben is n't brad 's son ? that 's exactly what britt told patrick . nikolas : i - i know . and that 's just not accurate . elizabeth : you mean britt lied ? wow , that is so unlike her . okay , so ben is n't brad 's or patrick 's . whose baby is he ? nikolas : i do n't know . elizabeth : new girlfriend wo n't tell you ? nikolas : she does n't know either . elizabeth : what ? ! nikolas : let 's just say it 's from an anonymous donor . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] okay , i do n't understand what that means . nikolas : okay , she procured some sperm from the lab and ... elizabeth : the lab ? why would she need brad to -- oh . that 's why she put brad in charge of running the lab , so that he could get her sperm . and then he covered the whole thing up . nikolas : elizabeth , will you just wait a second ? elizabeth : oh , my god . nikolas , do you have any idea what she 's done ? she -- she works here . she 's an employee . not only did she violate her contract and abuse her privileges , she broke the law . you ca n't just steal someone 's sperm . nikolas : it was n't her idea , okay . it was her mother 's . dr. obrecht : you really should confine the children to the nursery . britt : what do you want , mother ? dr. obrecht : look at me , britta . i 've been mistakenly arrested , imprisoned , exonerated , and freed , and now i 'm running general hospital . i need some stability . britt : get a dog . dr. obrecht : i did see a lovely doberman on the street last week . but no . i need ... a home first . britt : no . dr. obrecht : yes . britt : you ca n't . dr. obrecht : of course i can . britt : you are not moving in here . dr. obrecht : i most certainly am . make room for mutter . elizabeth : pilfering sperm from a lab is not just an ethical breach . it 's a crime . nikolas : i know . i know . will you please just not tell anyone ? elizabeth : nikolas , if britt and her mother are treating the lab like a - a biological atm , then god only know what they can do . and that little boy has a dad who does n't even know he has a son . you of all people should understand that . nikolas : from what i understand , the donors are donating their sperm , right ? elizabeth : no , no . not all of them . some of them are our patients awaiting in- vitro fertilization . and ben has a right to know where he came from . what if he inherits some terrible disease ? he should know where he came from . nikolas : okay , you made your point . thankfully , ben is perfectly healthy aside from an allergy or two . elizabeth : so you 're okay with all this ? nikolas : britt has n't hurt anyone . elizabeth : really ? nikolas : look , if this gets out , ben could wind up in foster care , and come on , he needs his mother . elizabeth : do you really want to get involved with a child whose parentage is this questionable ? have n't you been hurt enough ? nikolas : i guess , but britt 's suffered enough . and with parents like hers , the wsb will just quash the charges . and they scuttled far worse . elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : i 'm sorry . i 've got to go . elizabeth : do n't be mad at me . nikolas : i 'm not mad at you , elizabeth . i just have to go get this prescription filled . elizabeth : here . give it to me . i 'll take it to the front of the line . nikolas : it 's for ben 's allergies . elizabeth : to what ? nikolas : latex , some fruits . elizabeth : does britt have the same allergy ? nikolas : no . why ? elizabeth : well , because some allergies are inherited , and if it did n't come from britt , then maybe it came from ben 's father , whoever that may be . dante : no , look , unfortunately our guy 's 6 feet . uh , thanks . thanks anyways . lulu : was that about carly ? dante : uh , thanks . no , franco . false alarm . lulu : dante falconeri , did you eat strawberry jam for breakfast ? dante : no , ma'am . i used the wrong gloves when i was handling some evidence . lulu : the cream 's not working ? dante : no , it 's working fine . i just have n't had time to get it refilled . lulu : weird thing about this allergy of yours ... lucas : i could meet you at the floating rib . it 'd be just like old times . brad : [ chuckles ] old times ? i 've seen you once . lucas : and you 're still thinking about it . so are we on ? brad : i 'm gon na be with felix . i 'm sorry . lucas : i see . brad : look , i 've -- i 've got to go . i hope everything works out with your sister . i really do . take care . lucas : [ sighs ] lulu : latex , fruits . dante : all right , settle down . it 's humiliating enough without you laughing about it , making it worse . lulu : i was just gon na say that you are now not the only person i know with that allergy . lucas : dante , i 'm sorry , man . i did n't mean to go off on you like that . dante : do n't worry about it . we 're all feeling it a little bit , right ? lucas : so any news ? lulu : lots of calls . nothing solid . you know , i am going to go over to g.h . and get this prescription filled for you . dante : you do n't have to do that . i can do it . i just -- lucas : no , no , no . lulu , you stay here . i 'll do whatever it is . at least i 'll feel useful . lulu : are you sure ? lucas : absolutely . yeah , it 's no problem at all . patrick : i do n't know how i feel . i 've been lied to so many times this past year that i do n't even trust my own instincts . robin : okay , well , you ... you asked me to have another child , and i said no . patrick : you said not yet . which i understand , robin . i get that . you just got home . emma needs you . i need you . it 's too soon . robin : yeah , but that does n't change the fact that you want another child and -- and now you 're having one with someone else . patrick : i 'm sorry . i just ... wanted five minutes where we could just get back to normal , and ... were you looking at this ? victor : and you are ? heather : an employee of mr. cassadine . household staff . victor : really ? then you can show me in . heather : afraid not . i 'm below - stairs , if you know what i mean . and mr. cassadine is very strict . it 's the servants entrance for me . you 'll have to show yourself in . ta - ta . victor : what a strange woman . franco : you have n't seen me here before because i 'm the new grave digger . uh , name 's yorick . fair enough . mrs. mcclain : i was wondering , uh , why are you using your hands instead of a shovel ? franco : well , i 'm -- i 'm -- you know , first day , so i just , uh ... i believe in learning from the ground up . get it ? ground up ? 'cause the ... shovels tomorrow . tomorrow , shovels 101 . mrs. mcclain : what did you do before this ? franco : ice - road trucker . mrs. mcclain : and somehow your hands have no calluses . franco : i wear gloves 'cause it 's cold out there on the icy road . mrs. mcclain : yeah . i 'm getting cold . i think i better go . franco : okay . do n't let me keep you . britt : you are not moving in here . forget about it . dr. obrecht : such a stingy girl . there 's plenty of room for both of us . britt : there 's not enough room for both of us in this town , let alone in this house . it 's bad enough i have to see you at the hospital every day . dr. obrecht : i do n't appreciate this new attitude , britta . if you ca n't do me this favor , perhaps i 'll take my case directly to nikolas . maybe he 'll be generous with me if i let slip that my ungrateful daughter has his sister 's son . carly : come on . come on . come on . oh ! [ panting ] okay , carly . okay . you can cry later . you got to get out of here . all right . heather : yoo - hoo ! i 'm back ! did you miss me ? were you a good girl while i was gone ? felix : i 'll come home with you , and we can tell carlos together . sabrina : no , no , no . you 've got plans . felix : no , brad will understand why i have to cancel . my best friend is about to tell her latin lover the baby she said was his is n't . i would n't miss that for the world . sabrina : [ chuckles ] felix : oh , she 's smiling . sabrina : i do n't know what i would do without you , fee . brad : lucas . lucas : hey . brad : what are you doing here ? lucas : i 'm not a stalker . i 'm just here to fill a prescription for my cousin . brad : i hope that means they found your sister . lucas : [ sighs ] i wish . but no . i 'm just , uh , trying to be useful . brad : ah . lucas : oh , so how was mr. first date ? brad : it was good . lucas : i hope you changed the sheets . brad : ha ha . it was n't that kind of date . we did n't even kiss . lucas : oh , i figured you rounded that base early . brad : when it comes to felix , i used to be a little ... pushy . lucas : and that was a problem ? brad : let 's just say i was edging on a felony one . so now i 've got to do a little ... lucas : penance . brad : i 've got to build a little trust . lucas : well , if you ever get tired of life in the slow lane ... you know where to find me . elizabeth : if britt went through the proper channels , she would have a detailed medical history of ben 's father . she could anticipate problems like this . nikolas : well , she did n't , so she wo n't . elizabeth : yes , but she should . she could just work backwards . nikolas : elizabeth , will you please just drop it ? i do n't want to fight with you about this , and i certainly do n't want to lose our friendship . but it 's britt 's child . it 's her decision . elizabeth : well , i do n't want to lose our friendship over this , either . nikolas : fine . then find a way to get along with her , please . because she 's part of my life now . elizabeth : i still do n't trust her . i just do n't want to see you get hurt . lulu : you are gon na make that worse . dante : oh , i know . so , you were saying before your cousin came back you know someone else that has the same allergy ? lulu : ben westbourne . dante : britt 's baby boy ? lulu : yeah , i was out visiting nikolas . i was watching the baby , and ben had a rash exactly like you get . nikolas says ben has the same allergy . is n't that funny ? britt : you 're not gon na tell nikolas anything . you ca n't . you 're as guilty as i am . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] britta , you disappoint me . did you honestly think mutter has n't thought of that ? believe me , if the truth ever comes out , you will pay , not me . i had nothing to do with it . in fact ... i was n't even here . relax . all you have to do is convince your prince to invite your mother to stay here . britt : he wo n't allow it . dr. obrecht : nonsense . just bat those pretty eyelashes you inherited from mutter . he 'll do anything for you . britt : can i help you ? victor : pardon the interruption , ladies . i did knock , but it seems the butler 's otherwise engaged . i 'm victor cassadine , nikolas ' great - uncle . britt : oh , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . nikolas did n't mention a visitor . victor : yes , well , he did n't know i was coming . it 's a bit of a surprise . and you are ? britt : i 'm britt westbourne . hi . this is my mother . [ sighs ] victor : dr. liesl obrecht . britt : you two know each other ? victor : [ chuckles ] robin : you promised emma a story . patrick : yeah , i will in a second . i mean , were you -- were you looking at this ? victor : you tell anybody about this project ... and you will fail the opportunity to save your friend . robin : i just -- you know , we never got a chance to say goodbye . patrick : i 'm sorry . i know how much he meant to you . robin : yeah . jason will always be in my prayers . patrick : go put her to bed . robin : how much you still mean to me . heather : ta - da ! this is the same kind of knife the police have with your blood and franco 's fingerprints on it . so when they examine your wounds , it 'll all match up . it 's a genius plan . i just have to execute it . nice knowing you , carly . not . carly : feeling 's mutual , bitch . heather : [ gasps ] carly : [ grunts ] felix : again , no updates . what am i supposed to do , call the pcpd myself ? elizabeth : do n't let obrecht catch you checking your phone . you 'll be on bed pans for a year . felix : obrecht can kiss my foot . elizabeth : hey , hey , hey . you 've already been caught once dissing her . you want that to happen again ? felix : i 'm supposed to go help sabrina through a crisis , and before i do that , i want to make sure that carly 's at least closer to being found . elizabeth : okay , i 'm sorry . i forgot that you are friends with carly . felix : we are , and carly 's been missing for weeks . every time the press posts a new update , it 's more bad news , and now suddenly no updates at all . elizabeth : well , do n't jump to the worst case . felix : excuse me . the woman was dating franco , and now she 's vanished . how much worst - case can you get ? elizabeth : carly is resilient , and she 's resourceful , and there are a lot of people looking for her . felix : yeah , and the police appear to have mad zero progress . elizabeth : other than the police , i 'm sure sonny has all of his , you know , guys searching for her . felix : i would search for her myself if i knew it 'd do any good . i mean , i can hold sabrina 's hand and offer moral support through what she 's going through , but what can i do for carly ? elizabeth : you can have a little faith . like i said , the woman is resilient . felix : i know . but this is different . this is franco . victor : how could i not know dr. obrecht ? she and her cohort jerry jacks are rather infamous . and they also did commandeer my family 's island as a base for their exploits . dr. obrecht : you were n't using it . britt : um ... [ clears throat ] um , nikolas will be home any minute . can i offer you something to drink ? dr. obrecht : i 'm sure mr. cassadine has somewhere else to be . victor : tea , thanks . britt : mother ? dr. obrecht : i 'm not thirsty . victor : dear liesl . are you trying to get rid of me ? dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] [ door opens ] britt : oh , i 'm so glad you 're home . nikolas : why ? everything okay ? is ben all right ? britt : yeah , ben 's fine . it -- my mother 's in there with your great - uncle victor . victor : i must say , you 're still as captivating as ever . dr. obrecht : i thought we agreed to go our separate ways , victor . i gave you information on your family and jason morgan , and you arranged for my freedom . if you need something -- victor : the only thing i need , liesl ... is you . lucas : you know what ? forget i said that . i 'm just dealing with a lot at the moment , and obviously my internal editor is failing . brad : lucas , do n't misunderstand . i - i think you 're great . i - i do . i mean , you 're sexy and nice and interesting and open , and if things were different -- lucas : hey , hey , look , i was just playing . far be it from me to get in the way of the next great gay romance . i 'll see you around . felix : brad . brad : ready to go ? felix : i 'm sorry . i ca n't . sabrina 's in a really bad way . i 'm gon na help her out tonight . brad : of course . if , uh , she needs you -- felix : i mean , i 'm really sorry . i was really looking forward to it . but we 'll do it again soon , okay ? brad : yeah . lucas : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i heard you were in town . lucas : yeah , i just wish the circumstances were better . elizabeth : any word on carly ? lucas : no . unless you count franco giving the cops the slip . elizabeth : franco escaped ? lucas : he 's in the wind , as they say . elizabeth : oh , lord . i 'm sorry . i know this is really scary and frustrating , but you can trust anna and dante . lucas : what choice do i have ? oh , uh , in the meantime , i am trying to help out where i can , and i need to get this refilled for dante . elizabeth : can i see that ? lucas : yeah . dante : what are the odds that me and ben westbourne have the same allergy ? mrs. mcclain : detective ? dante : yes , ma'am . mrs. mcclain : i 'm carol mcclain . the desk sergeant told me to speak to you . dante : yes , ms . mcclain , how can i help you ? mrs. mcclain : uh , i think i can help you . i suppose you 're still looking for this man . dante : we are . you have information ? mrs. mcclain : i 've just seen him . dante : when ? mrs. mcclain : a few minutes ago . dante : where ? franco : oh , mother . if you 've hurt carly , so help me , heather , i will kill you all over again . [ both grunting ] [ creaking ] carly : no ! [ creaking continues ] franco : i 'm gon na find you , heather . i 'm coming , carly . [ siren wailing ] franco : no matter what . [ tires screeching ] carly : see you in court , heather . i 'm gone . heather : the only place you 're going is hell . dante : franco ! damn it . mrs. mcclain : oh , thank you . it was very cold in that cemetery . lulu : we really appreciate you coming in . you may have just saved my cousin 's life . mrs. mcclain : well , i hope your husband gets there in time . lulu : husband ? how did you know that ? mrs. mcclain : married ?

[ coughing continues ] alexis : [ sighs ] let 's watch the news . the local news should be on now . it 's 11 : 00 , and they 're doing a segment on the clinics . ned : oh , that 's a good idea . turn it on . man : we 're live on the scene where a van of four escaped pentonville inmates has crashed . early reports say that julian jerome has been rushed to general hospital , the victim of an apparent gunshot wound .

[ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] what do you want ? fluke : have i really been that unclear ? i want to exterminate everyone in my way , starting with you and sonny .

[ scene_break ] nathan : i 'm sorry to abandon the search , but there 's some leads that i need to follow if we 're gon na catch eckert or whoever he is . carly : what about sonny ? nathan : the search for mr. corinthos is ongoing . the divers are still in the water , but there 's a very narrow window to track down eckert , and i need to move now . michael : thank you , nathan . we appreciate your help . carly : there 's no one else on the pcpd who can go look for this guy ? ! it 's got to be the detective who 's supposed to be searching for sonny ? michael : look , there 's boats and helicopters out there looking for him right now . nathan ca n't do anything from the pier . besides , it 's not like they 're gon na find anything anyway . carly : do n't say that .

[ scene_break ] ned : luke and helena . tracy : ned , i saw it with my own eyes , and luke insisted he was completely sane and acting of his own free will . ned : what did helena say ? tracy : precious little . she swanned off , assuring luke that she would speak to him later . i tried to track her down , but i had no idea where she went . i called over to wyndemere , and the servants insisted she was n't staying there . and , coincidentally , the launch would n't take me there . ned : what were going to do ? search all 60-plus rooms for her ? tracy : i do n't know . what good would it do ?

[ scene_break ] carly : ok , we 're in the right place . now how do we get to this rush guy ? jason : just wait . he 's got to move sometime . when he does , i 'm going to go in , see what i can find out . carly : ok , i want you to take a break . you need to call the hospital and check on sam . i will stay here and keep watch . jason : there 's nothing i can do for sam right now , but maybe the guy in that room can . i 'm waiting . [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't need this ridiculous thing . i can walk . patrick : we do n't trust you to walk and you need to be in bed . sam : yeah , is that your standard line on all women ? patrick : spunky little thing , are n't you ? sam : stop it . patrick : hey , hey . sam : ow ! patrick : this place is under quarantine . there 's a swat team out there , and they mean business . sam : you do n't understand . shots were fired . patrick : i checked . jason has n't been admitted . now , do what he would want you to do . stay here where he can find you . bobbie : we 're running out of beds . start doubling up . patrick : excellent -- someone to hit the call button in case she feels restless again . come on . sam : this is my buddy ! kelly : your girls are in a special pediatrics quarantine ward being monitored around the clock . alexis : they 're alone and they 're scared and i 'm sure they 're wondering where their parents are . kelly : i 'm sorry . it 's a difficult situation all around . patrick : come on , let 's get you to bed . sam : no , forget it . there is no way in hell i 'm staying in this room with that woman ! alexis : oh , god , works for me . sam : fine ! give the bed to someone else ! i 'll wait out here ! you might as well give the bed to alexis ' favorite client , manny ! maybe he 'll strangle her in her sleep , blame it on the fever and get off scot - free ! patrick : you know you 're acting like a child ? sam : that 's how i feel -- worried and scared . just helpless . something bad is going to happen . i can feel it . [ scene_break ] jason : they 're headed upstairs . carly : they 're going to the restaurant . jason : ok . you keep an eye on him ; let me know when he 's headed back . carly : all right , be careful . jason : yeah , yeah . [ phone speed dials ] jason : hey , i think i got something . it 's a company rush might be connected with .

[ scene_break ] max : i 'm sorry i let michael get away . emily : yeah , he can be pretty slippery . max : hey . `` fool me once -- `` you understand what i 'm saying ? michael : yeah . got it . emily : michael , we have to take a hard line on this , all right , not just for your safety but for everyone else 's . when you leave this room , you run the risk of exposing yourself to the virus all over again and bringing it back to someone else . michael : i 'm sorry . i 'll never leave again , i promise . emily : michael , did anyone leave with you ? michael : no . just me . [ scene_break ] tracy : how dare you come down on my husband with your selective concern for humanity . get out before the authorities throw you out . luke : impressive fire , wife . was that defense real or fever - induced ? tracy : i 'm too mean to get sick . luke : why are n't you in the coffee shop lockdown ? tracy : i left . i had to see dillon . luke : how is he ? tracy : not good . he did n't recognize me . luke : well , do n't lose hope . the doctors may be on to something . tracy : a cure ? luke : we hope . tracy : `` we `` ? luke : well , there 's something in my blood , they say , that might help . imagine that -- old lucas lorenzo saves port charles once again . tracy : you 're an old softie . do n't worry , your secret 's safe with me . luke : look who 's talking . and who you calling old , woman ? elizabeth : luke ? luke : lucky .

[ scene_break ] maxie : you know , any minute now , dillon 's going to wake up and start in with his crazy conspiracy theories about how he knew too much and they tried to take him out but he was just too tough . georgie : what if he does n't ? lucas : no , no , no , do n't -- do n't go there . georgie : you 're right . he 's going to be fine . he -- he has to . [ scene_break ] michael : did you find sam ? danny : i got lost . michael : i found this , and i did n't tell anyone that you were gone . danny : thanks . michael : are you ok ? danny : i do n't feel so good . [ scene_break ] noah : this plasma contains the antibodies from luke 's system . now , we have a decision to make regarding how we dispense this . do we give larger doses to fewer of the critically ill do we give weaker doses to a higher number of people ? alan : we ca n't draw any more blood from luke . if we do , we run the risk of sending him into hypovolemic shock and killing him . robert : if the antibodies work and it really does kill the virus , we 're going to have something quite valuable here . we 've got to do something about protecting it . it 's been my experience that during a crisis , people just plain behave badly . patrick : all right , well , first things first . i vote only the worst - case patients get a dose of the serum . noah : i agree . monica : yeah . patrick : people accuse us doctors of playing god all the time . tonight , we really take on the role . [ scene_break ] [ phone rings ] jason : what do you got ? justus : look , i do n't know how rush connects with crylium , but it 's a major company , and there are two very interesting coincidences here . first , crylium had an office and a manufacturing plant in the markham islands . jason : that 's where luke first came against this thing . justus : exactly . and you 'll never guess what they used to make . [ laughter ] jason : i 'll get back to you . carly : wonderful , wonderful . i have met a lot of interesting men in my profession , but you 're my first in pharmaceuticals . so tell me more . anton : i know you said we 've never met , but something about you is very familiar .

[ next_on ] elizabeth : i 'll go see if i can find out when more serum will be made . bobbie : the doctors council has n't decided who 's going to get the first dose . luke : it goes to my daughter ! carly : what company did you say you worked for ? anton : why are you so curious ? jesse : where are they taking lucky ? | jason and carly manage to escape and contact justus to find out who shot at them . emily refuses to leave the hospital . luke agrees to let robert and the doctors use his blood to try and save lives . ric and alexis both collapse and are found by kristina . jessy finds lucky , but lucky is kidnapped .. priorities over who gets rooms and so forth come into conflict . alexis and ric are brought to the hospital where alexis and sam are forced to room together . jason and carly go in search of medicine . justus ' research suggests the virus came from the markham islands . sonny and nik are roommates . the serum is prepared and decisions on allocation are made . |
nikolas : patrick , you 're fighting an uphill battle here , and you 're trying to do it alone . it 's bad enough when you only have patients to take care of , but you 're trying to make everybody in this hospital your responsibility . you ca n't do that . patrick : but if i do n't , who ? nikolas : wait . hey , you [ scene_break ] sam : jason ! jason : it 's sonny . i 've got to stop him . sam : whoa , whoa , whoa . he just nearly ran me down . jason : where 'd he go ? sam : i do n't know . he said something about anthony , but i guess finding a man in a wheelchair in a hospital is n't as easy -- jason : no , no , no . there is no wheelchair . anthony can walk . sam : what ? jason : and sonny wants to kill him . if he does , i 've got nothing left to trade to save spinelli . [ scene_break ] [ anthony grunts ] ric : wait , wait . what the hell are you doing ? anthony : i 'm running for my life . ric : anthony ! sonny : you ca n't protect anthony anymore , ric . where 's he going ? [ scene_break ] johnny : all right , we 've got to get her to her feet , get her moving so she can keep warm . robin , where 's your coat ? maxie : where is emma ? we have to find the baby . robin , you have to know where emma is . she 's your daughter . [ scene_break ] ethan : all right . so tell me more about the beautiful girl you met in the mountains who did n't need an introduction to skinny dipping . luke : ah , yeah . holly , my english rose . ethan : did you say `` holly ? `` luke : mm - hmm . ethan : i met a beautiful english holly once . luke : do tell . ethan : older than me . just drop - dead gorgeous . great body and deep brown eyes . luke : really ? did this brown - eyed holly of yours have a last name ? ethan : yes , sutton , i believe . luke : you just took one step too far into the land of coincidence , ethan lovett . [ scene_break ] sam : wait a minute . make sure you 're okay before -- jason : sonny found out that anthony shot kate . sam : okay , fine . why would n't he want him dead ? jason : because anthony 's no good to the fbi if he 's dead . sam : let sonny take care of his own business , jason . jason : sam , rayner was specific . he wants a public victory against organized crime . if anthony dies , there 's no one left to give to the feds except for sonny . sam : well , would you give up sonny to save spinelli ? jason : if i can keep anthony alive , i do n't have to make that choice . [ scene_break ] carly : why would sonny decide now 's the time to kill anthony ? claudia : my father can walk . he hid in the balcony of the church , and he shot kate . carly : how long have you known ? and why the hell did you choose now to tell sonny ? claudia : i just found out that my father can walk . i told sonny as soon as i did . carly : and now sonny wants revenge . claudia : yes , of course . carly : wow . this works out great for you , does n't it ? sonny 's going to kill your father . and you ca n't stand him . perfect . claudia : i just gave up the only opportunity i 'm ever going to have to have anything remotely resembling a relationship with my father . carly : i 'm sure you 'll get over it . claudia : you 're right , i will . i hate him for a reason . but all the same , he 's the only father i 'm ever going to have . [ scene_break ] ric : just put the gun away , sonny . sonny : no , do n't tell me not to do this . ric : i 'm a lawyer , okay ? i know this is going to go . your honor , the accused was seen in the halls of the hospital , in the corridors , holding a weapon , asking for the whereabouts of the deceased . sonny : i 'm okay with that , ric . ric : i know this seems like the perfect opportunity with the state of emergency that the hospital is in and all to commit a murder . i know , everybody 's dying , another body 's not going to matter . but if we 're lucky enough to get out of this , sonny , do n't you think the cops are going to come in ? they 're going to perform autopsies . and if they see that anthony 's got a bullet in his head , it 's going to lead right back to you . sonny : there 's always a justification for not killing him . i 'm tired of it . okay ? he gets set free and what happens ? he hurts somebody that i care about or he tries to kill somebody that i care about . i 'm not doing that anymore . i 'm going to kill the -- ric : okay , sonny , sonny . listen to me . you have the advantage , okay ? you can neutralize anthony . you do not have to sacrifice yourself . sonny : i do n't plan to . [ scene_break ] maxie : robin , here 's what you need to do . you need to try and remember what happened so we can trace your steps and maybe we can find emma for you . robin : the car broke down . it was snowing really hard . johnny : we already know that part . what happened after you went and looked for help ? i think she 's in shock . robin : i got lost , and i could n't find the way back to the car . maxie : shh . [ baby crying ] maxie : do you hear that ? johnny : i do hear that . maxie : i do , too . johnny ! oh , god ! okay . oh , my god ! emma . she 's okay ! she 's okay ! oh , my god ! emma , you 're okay . it 's okay . she 's fine , robin . do n't you remember ? you must have put her in there to keep her safe from the storm . [ scene_break ] carly : oh , good . i thought you were sleeping . has sonny been here ? how long ago did he leave ? kate : why would i tell you anything about sonny ? carly : listen to me . it turns out that anthony zacchara is the one who shot you . and sonny wants to make him pay . kate : so what -- sonny has his revenge . he 'll leave that witch he 's married to and come back to me . [ scene_break ] sonny : even if you did n't know anthony could walk , which i doubt , you 've been his lawyer for a long time . you know how he thinks . you know where he would go . ric : no , i do n't want any blood on my hands . sonny : you do n't want any blood on your hands , right ? kate almost died . you were right there when she got shot . robin : what is revenge going to get you , sonny ? sonny : revenge is its own reward . do n't preach to me now . i know what you stand to lose . you 've been with anthony for a long time . you got a little power . you 're starting to like it . you like it so much that you 're willing to set your own brother up and get him killed . ric : you 've got me all figured out , right ? sonny : well , you give me good reason . robin : okay , you know what ? i 'm going to explain why you 're so wrong . for example , jason . you thought his loyalty to you was undying . well , not so much , huh ? sonny : listen to me . anthony 's not leaving this hospital alive . you help me find him , you 'll be all right yourself . ric : so why should i trust you ? sonny : you 're right . okay . you should n't , because i save myself , i help myself . try to do the same , brother . [ scene_break ] trevor : why the hell are you running around here ? somebody could see you . anthony : claudia gave me up to sonny before i could kill her . trevor : how bad is it ? anthony : she told him it was me who shot kate . now corinthos is going to hunt me down and shoot me like a dog . trevor : oh , my god . where is your bodyguard ? anthony : i do n't know where the hell he is . but when i find him , he 's dead . trevor : all right . anthony , listen to me . you 've got to hide . we ca n't let sonny kill you . anthony : exactly . you always see the big picture . ric was such a disappointment to me . trevor : forget about ric . how do you know ? how do you know that sonny 's after you ? anthony : because he 's chasing me with a big , freaking gun , trevor . how smart do i have to be ? the man is obsessed with revenge . he knocked jason morgan out , and now he 's coming after me . trevor : did n't he kill jason ? anthony : go figure . trevor : well , that element of your plan failed miserably . anthony : i do n't need a running commentary , trevor . i need to get the hell out of this hospital before sonny kills me . trevor : all right , tony , listen to me . you hide . now i am going to go find sonny . i 'm going to distract him and lead him off your trail . then i 'll come back and i 'll get you out of here . anthony : oh , yes . that 's great . listen , if you happen to kill sonny , i 'm not going to mind . anthony : you bastard ! this is all your fault ! [ scene_break ] jax : i need an update . agent rayner : mr. jacks , i 'm already under enough pressure from my superiors , the equinox board , the d.o.d . i do n't need it from you , too . jax : okay . here is the difference . none of those people are here . none of those people have friends or wives inside the building . i do . agent rayner : you 're a civilian . you 're not even authorized inside this trailer . jax : i understand that , but i have influential friends with access to media . i can turn this into the biggest , ugliest scandal your bureau has ever seen . are you following me ? now i know you understand how this works . you can either work with me or against me . now which will it be ? [ scene_break ] winnifred : wait , stop . find a more secure container . spinelli , you should not be here . in fact , it is my duty to arrest you unless you deny that you 're trying to steal this poison . spinelli : i am indeed trying to pilfer said poison . and as a fair thinking member of the human race , priestess winnifred should offer to aid and abet . [ scene_break ] johnny : it 's okay , robin , we 're back at the car . robin : it wo n't start . maxie : maybe we could just get them home . robin : emma has a fever . johnny : all right , just give me a few minutes under the hood . i 'll see if i can get us running , okay ? maxie : johnny is really good with cars , and he 'll have it up and running in no time . we 'll have emma to the hospital before you know it . robin : emma has a fever . maxie : i know , robin . you already told me . do you want to hold her ? robin : no , she 's okay . maxie : why did you leave the car ? robin : 'cause of the phone . there was no signal and -- maxie : i know . us , too . did you think that you could walk to a hospital ? robin : i was trying to find a house , somebody to help , and i -- and got lost . it was easy to get lost . maxie : i know it is , okay . i 'm sure you 're scared .

[ engine stalls ] [ engine starts ] maxie : it 's going to be okay , all right ? everything 's going to be okay . [ scene_break ] luke : so the pieces clang into place . you heard about me from holly sutton . and you sought me out . ethan : not true . and i think i 'm a little offended . luke : offended ? ethan : i thought you gave me more credit than that . i mean , if i was harboring some big , dark secret , why would i lay holly 's name on the table like that ? luke : oh , i do n't know . maybe for the same reason you left that coaster with the address of this joint for me to find . ethan : touché . all i seek is the benefit of your vast wisdom and experience . you know , i stand to learn a lot from you . luke : oh , brother . to hear you tell it , you 've never heard of me before , so what do you know about my `` vast wisdom and experience ? `` ethan : i believe my own eyes . the minute i set foot in your casino , i could sense it . and a friendly observation . you do n't need to be so uptight . especially when it comes to money . you know , considering you married it . i mean , so what do you care about $ 500 or $ 5,000 for that matter . luke : i care about being ripped off . ethan : so get over it . forgive the debt . luke : oh , yeah . and why would i do that ? ethan : all right . well , then let me win it fair and square . luke : i 'm not going to let you do anything until you tell me something true about yourself . [ scene_break ] spinelli : equinox can not be allowed to reclaim this poison . winnifred : it 's not your call , mr. jackal , nor is it mine . this is a matter well above my pay grade . spinelli : equinox can not be trusted . they 've abused the nation 's trust . winnifred : it 's not their fault the poison was stolen . in truth , equinox industries has done everything required since the theft . they referred it to the fbi , and now we 're obligated to return the biotoxin to the lab that developed it . spinelli : this is not a matter of obligation or the letter of the law . this is a question of right or wrong . any corporation that would manufacture such a deadly toxin can not be trusted . winnifred : well , people more powerful than we are in a position to make those determinations . spinelli : equinox has developed weapons far worse than the eighth level of calaphus dungeon . this is a moral outrage . this is not a weapon of war . it 's a weapon of terror , designed to be unleashed on thousands of civilians . the fact alone that it was stolen and has created chaos in this hospital is illustration of equinox 's incompetence . winnifred : i have my orders . spinelli : well , then i banish your orders . i banish them from your mind and demand that you use your conscience . this can not be allowed to be returned to the evildoers . if you joined the federal ones to do good and fight evil , then this is the place to start . right here . right now . it 's time to stand up and be counted .

[ scene_break ] trevor : you 're not going to find him in there . sonny : okay . well , you 're going to have to do . because whatever anthony does , you 're part of it . trevor : you are wrong again . if i was the one who knew that anthony had shot kate , he would have never gotten away with it . sonny : or you 're lying , trevor , to save your own life . trevor : look , i despise you , too . every time our paths have crossed , you have managed to destroy a part of my life . even as a little boy . [ trevor laughs ] the irony is this one time , we 're in sync . anthony 's melting down . he 's crazy . he 's an old man . better for all of us if he were dead . sonny : i do n't need your blessing . trevor : and i 'm not giving it to you . i told anthony that i would find you and distract you . i lied . he 's hiding in the chapel . sonny : so now you expect my gratitude ? a favor to be named later ? trevor : nah . my gift to kate . make sure that you aim right between the eyes . do n't disappoint me this time . [ scene_break ] kate : life is too short . this whole experience has put that in perspective . i love sonny , and i want to spend my life with him . when this is all over , he 's going to leave claudia . he 's going to come back to me . carly : if you say so . kate : every move that sonny has made has been out of love for me . and nothing you can do , nothing anyone does can stop the inevitable . carly : sonny loves power more than he 's ever loved you , and as long as claudia can give him that power , he 's going to stay with her . kate : i know exactly why sonny married claudia . i also know he is n't safe . [ scene_break ] maxie : what are we closer to , g.h . or mercy ? johnny : g.h . , but it 's going to be a slow ride . maxie : i do n't think emma 's fever is that bad . it 's okay . [ emma crying ] johnny : when i was a baby , i had a really bad fever once . claudia said they put me in an ice bath to get my fever down . maybe that 's what robin was doing . maxie : is that what you did , robin ? you took emma out to the snow to help get her fever down ? robin : it does n't matter . she 's still sick . maxie : it 's okay . we 're going to get her to the hospital . do you think robin has hypothermia ? johnny : i do n't know . i guess they 'll tell us when get there -- to the hospital . maxie : robin , i think maybe emma wants you . robin : no , she 's -- i 'm no good for her . maxie : something 's wrong with her , i think . [ emma crying ] maxie : it 's amazing that we actually found robin in that snow , and even more amazing we found emma in the tree . i ca n't even imagine what would 've happened if he had n't come along . johnny : no , but we did , and everybody 's okay . maxie : what was robin thinking ? how could someone as smart as her get herself into that situation ? johnny : she made a couple of mistakes , maxie . it happens . she probably made a wrong turn , thinking she was going down a familiar street , expecting to find houses and people , but it was the woods . when the car broke down , she figured she and the baby could possibly freeze to death , so i do n't know . seeking shelter had to have felt like the right choice for her . maxie : every choice she made ended up being the wrong one , except for putting emma in that tree . thank god robin had the presence of mind to find her baby shelter when she thought she was n't going to make it . johnny : okay , so at the end of the day , she made the right choice . maxie : sort of . yeah , it was good she put emma in the tree , but what kind of mother does n't remember where she put her baby ? johnny : robin got disoriented , maxie . with the blizzard and possibly having hypothermia , it could happen to anybody . maxie : not robin . you do n't know her like i do . okay ? my cousin is a planner . she 's almost obsessed . she has a plan `` a `` and a plan `` b `` and then two more plans just in case those fall through . johnny : well , everything will be fine once we get to the hospital , okay ? maxie : you hear that , emma ? johnny said everything is going to be okay . we 're going to take care of you .

[ scene_break ] sam : it 's a coincidence . that 's all . mcbain : yeah , but lucy was convinced -- right ? that i was this caleb , and she was afraid that caleb was gon na hurt alison . now alison 's dead , and her son swears she saw me kill her . sam : her son is lying , obviously . mcbain : add to that the print that might be mine . sam : what are you saying ? mcbain : maybe rafe 's telling the truth . [ scene_break ] rafe : i did not kill my mom . molly : but what about what you said at lunch , how life might be better if she was n't around ? rafe : and so , from there , you just jumped to me stabbing her ? molly : well , they 're saying they caught you holding the weapon . rafe : yeah , not because i stabbed my own mom with it . i mean , yeah , i hated being dragged all over the place , but i loved her . okay ? i would never do that to her . molly : neither would john mcbain . rafe : i saw him do it . yeah , maybe you do n't know me like you know him . i 'm just this stranger you decided to be nice to . okay , i get that . i do . but i swear , i would 've never hurt her like that . you have to believe me .

[ scene_break ] lucy : i was right . everybody was writing me off as being absolutely crazy , but everything i have predicted has come true ! alison is dead . and rafe 's in a cell , accused of murder . he 's vulnerable to whatever caleb has planned for him , which i have no idea . he 's probably gon na come and ... steal him away . heather : but if caleb is rafe 's father , then he probably would n't do anything to hurt him . rafe is in no danger . lucy : no -- no danger ? his soul is in danger ! i do n't know what caleb wants to do with him ! heather : right . who knows ? caleb might want to turn him into a vampire or something . lucy : i do n't care if you believe me or not , okay ? just shut up ! because this threat happens to be real . and now rafe is in there , and he does n't even know who his father is . he has absolutely no idea , and it would destroy him . he ca n't ever know . this is a disaster . heather : but you think mcbain is really caleb the vampire . lucy : yes ! yes , he is ! he is ! heather : well , then he 's probably very busy doing vampirish things . you know , he 's distracted . he 's got a lot on his mind . too busy to come and look for us . that 's good . lucy : nothing about this is good . i got to go to rafe . heather : no , no , no ! you 're not going anywhere . [ scene_break ] sam : how could you think that alison 's son was telling the truth ? mcbain : think about it , sam . lucy was convinced that i 'm this guy caleb and so was alison . sam : yeah , they also think you 're a vampire . mcbain : forget about the whole vampire thing for now , all right ? alison tried to warn you this guy caleb was dangerous . now rafe swears he saw me or someone that looks like me kill his mother . sam : okay . so , what ? you think there really is a caleb ? mcbain : it 's beginning to look more and more like it . sam : yeah ? okay . well , what about the fingerprints ?

[ chuckles ] i mean , not even just prepared . i was excited . but turns out sabrina does n't need me anymore . julian : yeah . i 'm sorry . carlos : thank you . julian : well , listen , for the record , i think it 's commendable that you were ready to step up like that for a kid that was n't yours . carlos : well , that 's the thing . it would have been . boy , girl , my dna , not my dna , i would have raised that baby like it was my own . i -- this is gon na sound ridiculous ... but i feel like i lost a child . julian : that 's ironic . i actually did . lucas : here . eat these . you 'll feel better . brad : i have to get to g.h . lucas : cool . i 'll come with . brad : whoa , whoa , whoa . it 's not `` bring your one - night stand to work `` day . lucas : well , technically , now it 's a two - night stand . relax , man . hey , you know that prescription that i dropped off yesterday ? i got to pick that up . brad : [ sighs ] right , right . you said it was for your cousin . lucas : well , my cousin 's husband , actually . brad : dante falconeri ? lucas : uh , yeah . you know him ? brad : uh , not well . we 've , uh , talked a couple times . lucas : apparently , he has a latex allergy . brad : you know what ? i 'll -- i 'll handle it . you just stay here , finish breakfast , and i 'll pick up the prescription . lucas : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone beeps ] patrick : oh ! sorry . you okay ? sabrina : um , yeah , no . [ chuckles ] my fault . i 've had a few near misses today . i do n't know what 's going on . patrick : pregnancy brain . sabrina : what ? patrick : uh , pregnancy brain . i guess you become more ... clumsy or forgetful or distracted . sabrina : and that 's what they call it ? pregnancy brain ? patrick : it 's not a medical term . but it 's what robin used to -- robin called it that . sabrina : it 's fine , patrick . we can talk about robin . patrick : [ sighs ] sabrina : we can talk about anything . patrick : how you doing ? sabrina : i 'm fine . uh , had a bit of a rough night . patrick : oh , was it the baby ? sabrina : no , no , no . the baby 's fine . carlos , on the other hand -- i had to tell him that he wo n't be raising your child . julian : once i received confirmation that lucas was actually my son , i was ready to hop the first plane to seattle . carlos : and you did n't ? julian : no , i did n't have to . as it turns out , i ran into him right here in port charles . carlos : lucky break . [ chuckles ] julian : yeah . not if you ask lucas . the kid had no idea i was alive , and once he found out -- well , let 's just say he was n't , uh , too eager to get to know his daddy the mobster . carlos : you -- you talked to him since ? julian : mnh - mnh . no . he 's kept his distance . [ sniffles ] carlos : sorry , boss . julian : yeah . you know , i do want to reach out to him , and i know i should . i just -- i do n't know how . i suppose there 's always a chance i 'll never see him again . lucas . what are you doing here ? michael : how many times -- how -- how long have you helped franco ? kiki : i - i do n't know what you 're getting at . michael : when dante was at my apartment and franco texted you from kelly 's , was that the first time you heard from him ? kiki , it 's a simple question . yes or no ? did you hear from him before that ? kiki : yes . dante : look at that . lulu : thank you . you spent a long time at the crime scene . dante : yeah , well , once we found the note , we went over everything with a fine - tooth comb . lulu : who do you think wrote it ? dante : i can only assume franco did . lulu : and the blood ? you think it was carly 's . why would he say , `` you 're gon na pay , `` if he had already killed her ? dante : i do n't know . lulu : so , maybe it 's someone else 's blood . dante : like whose ? lulu : maybe it 's her blood , but he only injured her , and she got away . dante : well , yeah . that could be . we have n't found a body . maybe she escaped . hey , gibbons . you were able to type the blood on that note ? gibbons : uh , not yet . lab 's still down . but we did find something else on the sheet . dante : what ? hair . gibbons : yeah . it appears to be a woman 's . blond . lulu : carly 's ? dante : well , there 's only one way to find out . felix : a dna test ? elizabeth : what ? you have a better idea ? felix : [ sighs ] give me a minute . elizabeth : no . the only way to prove dante and ben are father and son is to compare their dna . felix : how ? elizabeth : uh , by collecting a sample . felix : no , no . i mean how are you gon na obtain those samples ? it 's not like you can just waltz up and start swabbing away . elizabeth : i got it . i can take the prescription to wyndemere , and then i 'll sneak one of ben 's bottles or sippy cups or something . i mean , there 's got to be dna all over that house . felix : and dante ? elizabeth : i 'm gon na leave that up to you . felix : m - me ? how did i get dragged up into this ? elizabeth : come on ! you 've been wanting to get the goods on britt ever since i met you . well , my friend , these are the goods . felix : [ sighs ] true . elizabeth : okay , but ... ? felix : but i 'm seeing brad now . elizabeth : so ? felix : well , brad and the britch used to be in cahoots for a long time , so that means busting the britch might mean busting brad , too . elizabeth : [ sighs ] brad : well ... this looks intense . want to fill me in ? felix : [ chuckles ] nikolas : yes , i need a contractor to come take a look at the catacombs . uh , i - i do n't know . i 'm not sure , exactly . there was a rumbling noise yesterday , and i just want to make sure that the foundation 's stable . okay . that 's fine . thank you . spencer : oh , maybe it was the chupacabra ! i can check it out for you . nikolas : you are not going down there . it 's too dangerous . finish your project . ross is ready to take you to school . robin : [ sighs ] [ gasps ] victor : good morning , robin . have you had ample time to consider my proposition ? robin : consider ? sure . reviving stavros and helena is all i can think about . victor : ah , well , not just stavros and helena . robin : you said you had proof that jason is alive . i want to see it . victor : yes , i did say that , did n't i ? and i always keep my promises . kiki : franco was at the police station , and he heard you and dante say that there was a warrant out for his arrest , and he was obviously scared . michael : he was scared ? ! kiki : so he came to the apartment and asked if i could hide him . michael : at my apartment ? i - i came home and the door was chained . that was because franco was there ? kiki : yeah . michael : and then my brother , the police detective , showed up looking for him , and franco was there , too . kiki : i know . i know it sounds really bad . michael : and the text -- i knew -- i knew it was all too convenient . franco was texting you from inside my apartment as a diversion so he could escape , and then you -- you were helping him escape again . kiki : i told you i was sorry . michael : yeah , no . i 'm sorry , too . i 'm sorry that you chose to care more about supporting franco than my mother 's life . i 'm sorry that you turned your back on me when i needed you the most . dante : this does n't mean anything , yet . lulu : yeah , but it looks bad , right ? dante : did i want to find this ? no . but , uh , worrying about it is not gon na do us any good . okay ? some i 'm gon na take this to g.h . and get it analyzed . why do n't you go back to the loft and get some rest ? i mean , that -- that 's assuming that you still want to go home , right ? i mean , you have n't -- you have n't changed your mind or anything ? lulu : no , no . i have n't . dante : that 's good . lulu : i love you . dante : oh , good . [ chuckles ] lulu : i want to be with you . dante : same here . that 's great . and , look , we have to remember -- we may have lost our child , but we still got each other . brad : okay , now i 'm even more curious . elizabeth : we were reading something in the paper about a chupacabra being spotted on spoon island . [ laughs ] here . brad : what the hell 's a chupacabra ? elizabeth : exactly . brad : right ... i better get going . need to open the lab . felix : i 'll find you later . brad : i 'd like that . [ chuckles ] felix : what was that ? elizabeth : well , i had to say something . felix : you could n't use the actual story on the paper ? elizabeth : come on , felix . you got to help me . felix : can i at least ask brad if he knows anything ? elizabeth : no ! no . because if he tells britch , she might try to cover her tracks . and , look , we do n't even know if this is real . but if it is , does n't dante deserve to know he has a son ? felix : fine . i 'm in . elizabeth : thank you . felix : if dante 's the father , he should know . but i do n't like keeping things from brad . carlos : i 'll catch up with you later , boss . julian : yeah , thanks . well , this is a ... surprise . albeit a good one . i just -- how did you know -- how did you know i was here ? lucas : [ chuckles ] i did n't . i came to see my real father , tony jones . julian : right . right . the man who raised you . lucas : yeah . he died eight years ago today . julian : i 'm sorry . lucas : yeah , i 'm sure . julian : no , i am . i - i wish -- i wish i could have met him . and if i had , i would have said , `` thank you `` for being there for you when i could n't be . he obviously did a good job raising you . lucas : yeah . i should go . julian : no , wait , lucas . hang on . um ... no . please do n't go . not yet , anyway . lucas : why not ? julian : we 're family . britt : wow . that is some photo album . nikolas : yep . cassadines are big believers in traditions . britt : really ? i never would have guessed that . [ as victor ] take this bazillion - dollar egg , young spencer . nikolas : [ chuckles ] britt : and carry it like your ancestors before you . nikolas : slightly over - the - top , even for my family . britt : [ normal voice ] oh , as over - the - top as this ? nikolas : are you kidding me ? victor gave that to ben ? britt : i guess with no cassadine babies on the island , he thought ben was the next best thing . i 'll give it back to him before he leaves . nikolas : no , no , no , no . keep it . clearly great - uncle victor likes to give extraordinary gifts . victor : now , do you believe that jason morgan is alive ? robin : that footage could have been doctored . victor : you know what you saw , and i can see by the look on your face that you believe it . robin : well , let 's say that i do . what happens now ? victor : well , we go to some undisclosed location . you 'll be accompanying me , and we begin work right away on the project . robin : for how long ? victor : well , for as long as it takes . but you can not tell anyone where you are or what it is you 're doing . robin : not even my family ? victor : [ sighs ] if you agree to this , you have to leave port charles and your family behind . ross : master spencer , i 'm supposed to be taking you to school . spencer : we 'll get there . i just need to leave something for emma . it will take two seconds . ross : i will wait for you in the car . spencer : once emma sees this , cameron wo n't stand a chance . great - uncle victor ? robin : [ scoffs ] you 're out of your mind if you think that i 'm leaving my family . i just got them back . victor : well , you did have a leisurely reunion . robin : after two years of being apart . no way . victor : well , that 's unfortunate for jason morgan . i suppose he 'll have to stay in his current state of affairs until someone cares enough to revive him . robin : [ scoffs ] even if i agree to this insanity , i mean , wh -- what possible reason could i give my husband and my little girl ? what could i -- what could i tell them ? victor : i 'm sure you 'll be able to find some plausible explanation . robin : like what ? victor : no marriage is perfect . think , robin . there must be some trouble in paradise that you can exploit . sabrina : did you tell robin ? patrick : that i 'm having a baby with another woman ? yeah . we -- we talked last night . sabrina : and ... ? patrick : and she was , uh -- she was a little shocked . sabrina : yeah , of course she was . she thought carlos was the dad . she thought it was all over . patrick : but it 's not . sabrina : patrick , i 'm sorry . patrick : no , hey . do n't -- do n't -- do n't do that , okay ? it 's not your fault . it 's -- i do n't know . i guess it 's life . sabrina : i did n't want this . i did n't want for our child to come between you and robin . that 's not me . it 's not -- [ chuckles ] it 's not me . that 's -- that 's -- that 's -- that 's britt . nikolas : elizabeth . elizabeth : hi . alfred let me in . i 'm dropping off ben 's prescription . britt : wow . you came all the way out here for ben ? nikolas : you should have called . i would have -- i would have come and picked it up . elizabeth : i know . i - i - i 'm actually here for another reason , though . i wanted to apologize . britt : to me ? elizabeth : i realize i 've been acting a little childish lately , and nikolas has made it very clear that you are an important part of his life . so as his friend , i want to respect that . what do you say ? can we ... bury the hatchet ? britt : yeah . that 'd be fine .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i was pretty out of it . but michael was there when they pulled me out of the water ? carly : yes , he was there . here . have some water . sonny : did he get hurt ? is he all right ? morgan : those are two entirely different questions . sonny : [ groans ] carly : uh , michael helped me do cpr on you , sonny . sonny : so , you two saved me ? carly : well , it only seemed fair after you saved everyone else . sonny : you should have seen him . he had a bomb in his hands , and he was risking his life for everybody . carly : thank you for being there . thank you for taking that bomb from him . sonny : i 'm his father , i mean , even if he does n't think so . carly : he still cares about you , sonny . michael still cares . morgan : let me ask you something . if he cares so much , why is n't he here right now ? [ scene_break ] michael : yeah , well , nobody would have been in harm 's way if it was n't for the man impersonating luke . and , look , i , uh -- i know what it feels like to find out the person that you trusted the most is n't who you thought they were . tracy : michael , i know that sonny 's been a crushing disappointment to you , but he 's still the man he always was . he 's not replaced by an imposter . [ knock at door ] dante : sorry to , uh , interrupt . tracy : that 's all right . i was hoping the department would send somebody over . dante : yeah , that 's not me . i 'm not here on official business . i just want to talk to michael . tracy : well , by all means , but first i want an update on who you have in custody . dante : there 's not really much i can tell you , tracy . tracy : [ sighs ] dante , that man lied to me . he lived with me in my house , in my bed . he used me . you have to tell me something , anything . dante : okay , okay . i had information that , uh , suggested that luke was being impersonated by bill eckert . tracy : he 's been dead 20 years . dante : yes , and now his grave is empty , and then my investigation led me to the house on elm street that luke grew up in . tracy : and you found what there ? dante : i thought i was gon na find luke there . instead -- tracy : instead what ? ! dante : instead , i found a badly decayed body dressed up like a miscavige patient rigged with a bomb . tracy : you think that 's luke ? dante : i do n't know . tracy : does lulu know ? dante : yeah . i told her . [ sighs ] but you should know on the way over here , csu called me , and although the blast was significant , they managed to find some remains on the scene , and they 're at the morgue right now , trying to identify those . [ scene_break ] obrecht : the remains are fragmentary and severely damaged . let 's just say i 'm not brimming with confidence . nathan : they 're not suitable for testing ? obrecht : i did n't say that . you may still get your answers , but they wo n't come easily . nathan : well , we may not need a whole battery of tests if we can just get one right answer . obrecht : what would you like us to test for first ? nathan : can you determine the age of the remains ? i mean , has the body been dead for 1 year or 20 ? [ scene_break ] sloane : take a break . i want a word with the prisoners . guard : yes , sir . helena : see ? not to worry . our own personal police commissioner has arrived to right this terrible injustice . fluke : then why do n't i see keys turning in locks ? helena : well , my accomplice asks an excellent question . what are you waiting for ? well , why do n't you release us ? sloane : it 's not that simple , mrs. cassadine . helena : oh , commissioner , have you forgotten that the only reason you have your position is that my family made it so when my grandson nikolas rigged the mayoral election ? [ scene_break ] ivy : as far as i 'm concerned , the paper is right . sonny corinthos is a hero , and he deserves a medal for all that he 's done , and i 'm going to tell him so . nikolas : [ clears throat ] thanks for stopping by . ivy : aw ! it was my pleasure . oh , and , nikolas , could you do me one little favor ? when you get your phone back , lose my number . lulu : i have half a mind to tell you the exact same thing . ivy : haunted star was your boat , right ? i 'm glad it 's all in one piece still . lulu : you and me both . nikolas : so what , you 're not speaking to me anymore either ? lulu : i will decide that after you tell me how could you ? ! nikolas : look , you can be upset with me all you want . i 'm just glad you 're okay . lulu : i am not okay , nikolas . i almost died last night . nikolas : i know that . i 'm sorry . lulu : and while that bomb was ticking away on my boat , my husband was trapped in a cellar and almost blown up himself ! i just checked him out of the hospital ! nikolas : and how is he ? lulu : he 's lucky to be alive ! if nathan had n't found him when he did , he 'd be dead . in fact , both of them could have been blown to smithereens in that house . nikolas : i know , i know . it 's amazing that no one was killed . but that 's -- lulu : yes , it is . if michael had n't found that bomb on the haunted star in time , i 'd be gone , too , and then my son would have been orphaned , all because of your homicidal grandmother and some maniac who is pretending to be my father ! nikolas : i know that this situation is difficult for you -- lulu : do you know that those bombs would never have been planted in the first place if someone who knew what was going on had stepped up to stop it ! you 're my oldest brother , and i have always looked up to you . i 've trusted you . i have practically worshiped the ground you walked on . but i need you to be honest with me right now , nikolas . how much did you know , and when did you know it ? [ scene_break ] nathan : if we could date the remains , then we would know whether or not they belong to luke spencer . so is there some kind of test you could run that would tell us that ? obrecht : the hospital lab is equipped to do so , but -- tracy : oh , good . just the person i wanted to see , believe it or not . obrecht : how did you get in here ? civilians are not allowed . tracy : yes , well , my family practically owns this hospital . you just rent it . now , is that -- oh , my god . nathan : ms. quartermaine , please , if you could just wait outside . tracy : no , i 'm not going anywhere . is that the remains of the body you found in the basement ? nathan : we do n't know who it is yet . tracy : well , when are you gon na find out ? nathan : i was just discussing that with my mother . obrecht : as i was saying , we are capable of running the test you 've requested , and i 'll be happy to do so the moment i get clearance . but as of now , i am barred from running any tests on these remains . [ scene_break ] sloane : i 'm perfectly aware of the circumstances that led to my rise in port charles . fluke : well , then , you 're also aware that you answer to mrs. cassadine . do what she says and release us ! sloane : i ca n't . helena : well , would you rather that i share what i know with the appropriate authorities ? what would be left of your career or your freedom once you 're exposed ? sloane : if i release the two of you , my own subordinates will revolt . there 'd be public uproar , scrutiny in the papers , definitely an inquiry from the state . my connection to the cassadine family will be exposed . lomax will go down in flames , anna devane will most likely be reinstated , and the two of you will be back in custody . since none of us want that , we got to play this very carefully . fluke : he makes a good point . helena : but even so , we ca n't stay here . sloane : i 've been doing everything i can to slow the investigation . i held off the da , refused visitors . i 'm delaying analysis of your accomplice 's fingerprints . but i only have so many tools at my disposal . you two need to rethink your strategy , or whatever you 're trying to hide will come to light . fluke : at this point , that 's going to happen no matter what we do . go ahead , run my damn prints . [ scene_break ] michael : luke , whoever he was , was on lulu 's cell last night , and he made it seem like you were saying terrible things about lulu because you were jealous of johnny . we should have known that something was off . dante : whatever . do n't beat yourself up . this guy managed to fool everyone . michael : yeah . so you really think luke 's , uh , bill eckert ? dante : that 's the theory . michael : and what about luke ? do you think he 's -- you think he 's dead ? dante : working on that , too . michael : okay , well , look , if you need anything , just -- just ask . dante : okay . i appreciate it . but i 'm actually not here to talk about luke . i am here to talk about sonny . i think you need to go see him . [ scene_break ] morgan : why do n't we all just get real for a second and just admit that michael 's not coming , because he 's too busy nursing his -- his little grudges to come say thank you to dad for saving everyone on that boat , including him ? sonny : morgan , you got to understand , i get what -- morgan : no , no , no , because we -- we all -- we all get it . he 's angry . he 's gon na be mad at you for the rest of his life . but you know what ? you raised him , you loved him , and you grabbed a freaking bomb from him , and you jumped in the water with it , so ... carly : morgan , michael is very aware of what your father did for him last night . and by the way , michael carried the bomb out of the haunted star . he almost died last night , too . so why do n't you try calming down and show a little empathy ? morgan : empathy ? carly : yes . morgan : empathy ? where 's michael 's empathy ? he ca n't suck it up and come here and say sorry to dad ? i 'm sorry , michael should be here right now . sonny : take it easy , morgan . morgan : no , i 'm not gon na take it easy . i almost lost you last night . sonny : yes , you are , because i do n't -- i do n't want you holding this against your brother , 'cause you two are at -- at odds , and i do n't want it to get any worse . morgan : okay , well , i do n't think that 's possible , dad , okay ? i 'm pretty sure me and mikey have hit rock bottom . if that was n't clear when he failed to come here and check on you , it was when he did n't bother to tell kiki sorry about her mother . [ scene_break ] silas : i 'm sorry i was n't here for you last night . i - i had a patient that was in a bad way . kiki : no , it 's okay . i understand . silas : look , i feel terrible leaving you alone . kiki : no , morgan -- he was here for me last night , especially when the cops came in -- barging in , looking for my mom . silas : they thought she was here ? kiki : well , both of her kids were here , but they 're not -- the cops do n't even think she 's alive . silas : hey , this is your mom we 're talking about , all right ? you do n't ever give up hope on her . kiki : did you hear that julian 's saying that carlos shot her and she fell off a bridge ? silas : did julian see her go in the water ? kiki : no , but sonny did . she was hanging there . she had just been shot , so she was too weak to pull herself up , and supposedly , he did everything he could to help her , but she fell anyway . silas : you do n't believe him ? kiki : sonny hates my mother , and plenty of people knew what he had planned for her after she gave birth . if it were up to him , he would have stolen avery and left my mom there bleeding on the brownstone floor . silas : but he did n't . kiki : a - and now what ? now we 're supposed to believe that -- that he did everything he could to save her ? how do we know that he did n't pry her fingers off of the bridge himself and let her fall to her death ? silas : hey , you have every reason to be upset and to be angry , but until we know more , it 's not doing you any good . kiki : well , i do n't know . being angry feels a hell of a lot better than grieving . silas : yes , in the moment . but then you have to think about avery . that little girl -- she needs you to be strong , and she needs you to be focused on her , not on some crusade against sonny . kiki : i 'm not declaring war on the man . i just need sonny to look me in the eyes and tell me that he did n't drop my mother into the water . he really needs to convince me that what happened on that bridge was an accident and not just the opportunity that he 's been waiting for . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's true , son . i swear on avery 's life i tried to do everything i could to save her mother . but i have to admit , there was -- there was a moment that i wanted to let go . morgan : dad ... sonny : listen , i did n't . i held on . there was a second there i thought about what she did to connie , and i wanted -- i wanted to repay her . morgan : why ? why -- why did n't you ? sonny : because i looked down at ava , and i saw avery , and i did n't want to do ... to her what i did to mikey . i hurt michael real bad when i shot aj and i killed him . i did n't want to do that to another one of my kids , so i let her mother ... i saved her mother . carly : hey , you did the right thing , sonny . you did the right thing by holding on . sonny : i did right by my daughter , but it -- but not by connie . i tried to save ava ... ... but it was n't enough . [ scene_break ] michael : look , i called the hospital . they said sonny was gon na make a full recovery . dante : well , yeah , he 's supposed to . michael : then why am i supposed to see him ? dante : because , man , he took a ticking bomb out of your hands , and he jumped into the water with it , and he was gon na die for you . michael : yeah , you 're right , you 're right . sonny 's a hero . but that does n't change the fact that he killed my father . dante : well , welcome to my world , okay ? i know it 's not the same , but i had my own conflict with sonny . when i 'm around him , there 's a part of him i connect with . there 's another part of him that i hate . so believe me when i tell you that i understand why you have n't gone to see him . michael : well , i 'm glad someone does . dante : having said that , the man saved your life . i 'm not saying you got to forgive him . i 'm just simply saying that you should do what anyone else would do and say thank you . [ scene_break ] lulu : nikolas , please tell me that you did not know the whole time that my father had been replaced by an evil twin who was plotting mass murder with helena ! nikolas : no , i did n't know ... lulu : you did n't . great . well , that 's something . nikolas : ... not at first . lulu : when ? nikolas : okay . helena 's been here since thanksgiving . lulu : why would she stay here ? nikolas : it 's -- it 's com -- it 's complicated . lulu : it 's more complicated than all the heinous things she 's done to me and lucky ? we 're your family . nikolas : sadly , so is she . lulu : no . she is a monster . that is not the kind of family you keep . nikolas : hold on . lulu , there are dynamics at play here between helena and me that are difficult to explain to outsiders , okay ? that 's the only way that i can -- lulu : outsiders ? ! nikolas : you know what i mean ! lulu : oh , okay , okay ! nikolas : you know what i mean . lulu : let 's pretend for a second that you have some tortured excuse to side with helena on anything . that does not excuse you allowing me to continue to think that phony was my dad . nikolas : i did not -- when i discovered that they were working together , i thought it was luke ! that 's the truth ! lulu : and it never crossed your mind that my dad would never side with his lifelong enemy ? honestly , nikolas , what the hell did you think was going on ? ! how could you choose your relationship with helena over your relationship with me ? [ scene_break ] helena : do not run those prints . you need to put off any testing that could reveal his true identity so that we can get away . fluke : helena , the commissioner has done all he can for now . there 's no point on having him blow his cover when he might yet be useful . helena : very well . what do you suggest ? fluke : the truth is going to come out ... one way or the other . [ scene_break ] obrecht : commissioner sloane ordered me not to begin testing until i 'd received his express permission . tracy : and since when do you care what law enforcement wants ? nathan : did sloane give you any kind of reason to delay these tests ? obrecht : he declined to . tracy : okay , well , it 's ridiculous . you run the tests . i 'll deal with sloane . nathan : fine by me . i 'll just pretend i did n't hear that . obrecht : if anna devane was still in charge , i 'd have had my bone saw out hours ago . [ cell phone rings ] nathan : and i did n't hear that either . obrecht : yes , commissioner ? sloane : dr. obrecht , you may proceed with testing the remains . find out everything there is to know about the dead body from that basement . [ scene_break ] dante : look , sonny 's going back to pentonville , okay ? so this is your last chance to thank him . michael : i do n't think i can thank the man who murdered my father , okay ? it just -- it feels disloyal . dante : i know you did n't ask for any of this , michael , but if you do n't thank him , it will eat away at you , okay , and i think you 'll feel like you made a mistake , and you got to carry that with you . michael : well , you know what ? i 'll just -- i 'll just carry it , then . dante : [ sighs ] all right , look , you know what ? you 're -- you 're a grown man . you can make your own decisions . i just did n't want you living with any regret . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't know what else to tell you . lulu : you know what ? why do n't you try the truth ? what have you got to lose ? nikolas : okay , fine . i -- right . okay , i should have told you right away that your father and my grandmother were working together , but i did n't . lulu : yeah , yeah , you should have , nikolas . nikolas : for what it 's worth , i had no idea that the man was an imposter and that your father could be rotting away somewhere . i did n't ... lulu : that is worth nothing ! nikolas : wait , lulu , wait ! come on ! lulu : i have no idea what number helena did on you , but damn is she good , 'cause you are not the brother i thought you were . nikolas : it 's still me . lulu : the nikolas cassadine i know is a decent man . he is the person who does the right thing , even when all the maniacs surrounding him are whispering for him to do wrong . that -- you 're as unrecognizable to me as that man locked up in the pcpd . [ scene_break ] nathan : yeah , i 'm on my way . that was the station . uh , sloane gave the go- ahead to run the imposter 's prints against the database , and i 'm gon na go supervise . tracy : [ sighs ] well , how long will that take ? with any luck , in a couple of minutes , we 'll know if he 's really bill eckert . [ scene_break ] helena : allowing sloane to authorize those tests was a mistake ! fluke : maybe so , but the train is off the rails . that boat has sailed . the bus has lost its wheels . you better buckle up , baby . it 's gon na be a bumpy ride .

[ instrumental music plays ] olivia : you know full well what i want . i want you to suffer for what you did to me . julian : for trying to kill you ? olivia : you thought you did kill me . you wanted me dead . julian : well , lucky for both of us , you lived . is n't that enough ? i mean , come on , liv . i ca n't change what happened in the past . olivia : neither can i. i lost everything -- the people i loved , the purpose in my life . you took away everything i had to live for . [ music continues ] curtis : damn . olivia : for years , i had to hide away from the world . away from people i cared about . julian : oh , come on . name one person . olivia : there were people . i even have a sister i 've never met . julian : leave ava out of this . olivia : oh , right , because you are one big happy family living out in the open and right in front of the whole wide world , while i 'm stuck on the other side of it in dumps like this . julian : well , i do n't know . you seem to be getting out and about . you 've stalked alexis . you do n't seem to be too worried about being spotted out there , are you ? olivia : there 's just not a lot of people in port charles that would recognize me now . julian : exactly . so why keep up the charade ? you could put a stop to this , liv . instead of threatening my family , you can be a part of it . olivia : are n't you the sentimental one . julian : well , i have had a chance to start over . you can , too , you know . i mean , is n't that what you want ? to start over ? olivia : sounds lovely . but until you do what i ask you to do , you belong to me . julian : for what ? what , buddy - ing up to gray ? buy the hospital ? no , no , no . this ca n't be your end game . what are n't you telling me ? why is general hospital so important to you ? [ scene_break ] hayden : you know that we can not comment on what we discussed in the board room , so ... brad : hayden , we all know you were brought back to pull gh out of the red by end of last year . and when you got sick , not much was done on your end . hayden : you know better than anyone what i was up against physically . what you do n't know is that the board gave me until the end of the fiscal year . brad : which is the end of this month . congrats , you got a few weeks to save a sinking ship . i mean , on the bright side , i never fully unpacked from the last time we shut down . maybe i 'll just throw everything overboard . i ... okay . michael : do n't listen to him . hayden : no , he 's right . i ca n't turn the ship around if it 's going down . i know exactly what we need to do . michael : okay , well , then let 's hear it . hayden : look , i 've tried every angle . i 've trimmed costs left and right . i - i - i 've looked at this every which way except for one . there 's one cost keeping gh in the red . reduce it , and we reduce the deficit . michael : okay . now , what 's the catch ? [ scene_break ] felicia : would you say that this room reflects your tastes ? nelle : pretty much . felicia : mm . but not in the bedroom ? nelle : no . no . i mean , to call it utilitarian would be kind . felicia : so then we need to talk about themes and influences . nelle : influences . felicia : for instance , i am originally from texas . my great - grandmother had this wonderful ranch . it 's the reason why i decorated my own home in mojave dune - colored walls and southwest rugs . it reminds me of her . what about you ? you have any memories that you can share ? they would be a great springboard for us . nelle : oh , i do n't know . felicia : oh , come on . design is nothing if not personal . so tell me all about nelle hayes . [ scene_break ] sonny : sam , if it 's any consolation , uh , i know where you 're coming from 'cause i want to be out there , too , instead of , you know , waiting around here on updates . but that 's just the way things fell . so we both have to just be on the sidelines . jason : look , you know i 'm gon na come back for you as soon as this is over . [ sighs ] is danny asleep upstairs ? i want to say goodnight . sam : you know what ? that 's not necessary . jason : why is that not necessary ? sam : i 'm not going .

[ sighs ] [ clears throat ] all right . i am ... i 'm a little worried about what 's gon na happen with us outside of this room . elizabeth : what do you mean ? franco : look , i 'm not being paranoid and needy . i just -- a lot of people in my life have been warning me about us . about me specifically . people have been warning me about me . that i 'm gon na screw it all up . and i do n't want to walk out that door , go out there , and prove them all right . i 'm afraid i 'm gon na screw it all up and then i 'm gon na lose you . elizabeth : franco . franco : hey , look , i 'm a tortured artist . narcissistic insecurities -- they kind of come with the territory . fair warning . [ both chuckle ] elizabeth : i do n't think being scared is unique to tortured artists . yes , there are risks that 'll come with us hitting the world together , but that 's where the real life is . and my friends and family are just gon na have to accept that you 're in my life now . franco : i am gon na screw up , you know . elizabeth : and so will i . franco : [ scoffs ] elizabeth : but i think we 're strong enough to work through it . franco : oh , with you by my side , i definitely feel strong enough . strong enough for anything . [ scene_break ] felicia : where did you say you were from again ? nelle : atlanta . felicia : atlanta ! well , that 's a beautiful city . all that art , culture , and cuisine . nelle : yeah , it 's a really , really great place , if you have the money . but , um , maybe atlanta is n't , uh , the place that i want all over my walls . you know , with the memories associated with it . i 'm not sure i want to be reminded of my past every time i wake up in the morning . felicia : okay , got it . fresh start . okay . but nothing too floral or polished . after all , we want your man to feel comfortable in your bedroom . nelle : sorry ? felicia : well , the flowers from the metro court . wo n't your boyfriend be spending time here , too ? [ scene_break ] sonny : sam , we ca n't keep doing this . 'cause here 's the thing , we have to let him take care of things . because if he 's worried , he 's distracted . jason : we talked about this . we decided . sam : no . you decided . i was never fully convinced . and you know what ? i - i was thinking about it this morning , and this plan does n't make any sense . my father 's gon na know that something 's off . jason : by the time your father figures out anything 's going on , we 're gon na have something on him . sam : and what if you do n't , jason ? what if whoever 's threatening julian 's family actually goes after his family ? danny and i are n't the only ones . there 's -- there 's leo . there 's lucas . there 's kiki . jason : okay , okay . listen to me . you and my kids are all i care about right now . i 'll figure out what we can do about the rest of them . we 're gon na be okay . sam : okay , well , then that 's fine . you can go after the boss . and i will stay here and make sure the others are okay . [ cell phone ringing ] jason : give me a second . curtis , what is up ? curtis : man , you better get down here . julian 's having a meeting with somebody . and i 'm willing to bet it 's the boss lady . jason : text me the address . i 'll be on my way . [ scene_break ] finn : you know , sonny and i , you know , we 're not exactly friends , but you 've been so good to me , and , you know , if there 's anything i can do . if he needs some company . carly : that 's really kind . i mean , sonny 's busy right now , because he has a trial coming up , so he has a lot of meetings with his attorney . but i will tell him that you were thinking about him . finn : okay . okay . carly : why monica hired that woman to work here is a mystery to me . lucas : carly . finn : are you , uh , referring to , uh -- carly : seriously . yes . the way she struts around this hospital like she owns the place . i mean , the stories i could tell about that woman . lies , fraud , identity theft . the list goes on . lucas : carly . carly . carly : seriously . she is the last person gh needs with her hand on their money . hayden : hey . finn : uh , hi . hayden : how 's it going ? finn : hi . i believe you two know each other . [ scene_break ] sonny : because you 're pregnant , and he 's worried about the baby . sam : yeah , of course . i get that . but hiding out right now -- it 's not the right option . if anything , it 's a red flag . sonny : you could have a point . sam : jason is a protector . you know that . he wants to protect everyone . even though i 'm pregnant , it does n't mean i ca n't protect myself . i can , sonny . and i got to thinking this morning that if this woman gets suspicious of my absence , who 's she gon na go after ? jason . and i ca n't have that . you understand , right , sonny ? sonny : sure . sure i do . [ scene_break ] jason : [ sighs ] so what do we got ? curtis : well , julian 's been in there about 20 minutes . he 's meeting with somebody . jason : can you tell if it 's a woman ? curtis : well , the blinds are nearly closed , and all i can get is the back of his head . jason : all right , what are they saying ? curtis : check for yourself . [ instrumental music plays ] jason : music ? music ? curtis : yeah . so i , um ... i texted brick , right ? and he told me while this laser thing here is good for going through walls , it ca n't isolate specific noises and voices . so if they turn the music up , it 's gon na drown everything out . jason : great . so they know they 're being tailed . curtis : well , they could just be precautious . they do seem like extra - careful people . jason : pawn shop , herb shop . this is it . i 'm telling you . this is the new base of their operations . curtis : so what next ? jason : what 's next is we sit here , relax , wait for the mystery woman to show up . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] olivia : do n't . ca n't be too careful . julian : so you never answered me . why are you so hot to buy general hospital , tear it down , and put up condos ? i mean , uh , real estate was never your thing . olivia : times change . it 's -- it 's a wonderful business opportunity . it 's a ... it 's a great investment . and it will provide me with a wonderful place to live . and i can go there anytime i want to and be alone if i need to , and ... except for my staff , of course . beats the hell out of this dump . julian : yeah , that 's if , uh ... if the deal goes through . olivia : if ? julian : well , i have allies on the gh board , but if the majority refuse to sell , there 's nothing i can do , liv . olivia : get more creative . get more allies . pay people off . get them on the board . general hospital is bleeding money . this is a perfect time to strike . julian : okay . if you want a luxury property , why do n't i just buy up the waterfront ? you could put up whatever you want and get the hell off my back . olivia : you do n't understand . it has to be general hospital . julian : but why ? [ scene_break ] hayden : hello . carly . carly : wow , you two , huh ? finn : yes , we are , uh ... we -- we are . uh , and we were , uh ... we were trying to keep it quiet , but somehow apparently word got out around the hospital . yeah , thanks to amy . bobbie : amy ? lucas : yeah . bobbie : oh , amy driscoll . lucas : yep . bobbie : oh , yeah . well , that girl can spread gossip faster than anybody since ... must be something about that name . finn : yes , well , i have , uh ... i have a meeting to attend . i , uh -- it was nice seeing you again , carly . and i -- carly : you too . finn : i 'll see you later . hayden : i 'll hold you to that . michael : okay . um , mom , i know you and hayden have a complicated history , but she got me a seat on the board . and we might have a shot at saving the hospital . bobbie : congratulations , honey . lucas : oh , my god , that 's great . awesome . michael : thank you . oh . lucas : wow . nice . carly : that is great news . it really is . okay , look , i do n't think i 'll ever forgive you for what you did to jason . but if you can do good here at the hospital , i 'll appreciate that . hayden : thank you . that means a lot . carly : all right , well , let 's not get all warm and fuzzy . 'cause if you do anything to hurt my son , or anyone i care about , there will be hell to pay .

[ chuckles ] so , why are you here , huh ? putting yourself through this ? the boredom , the waiting . curtis : pass on the opportunity of playing with all these fancy - ass gadgets that do n't work ? jason : is it still about your nephew ? or , uh , is there something else out there ? something more important to you ?

[ scene_break ] hayden : message received . but you have nothing to worry about . i 'm doing everything i can to help gh . michael , are you ready to go over those financial records ? michael : yeah . sure . carly : now ? michael : yeah , why ? carly : i just thought you were gon na go over the legal paperwork with me and your dad . for morgan 's foundation ? michael : oh , right . oh , god . i 'm sorry . i completely forgot . um , hayden , can we -- can we do this some other time ? carly : you know what ? do n't worry about it . the hospital takes priority . i can handle it . michael : are you sure ? carly : yes , yes . it 's just paperwork . i can figure it out . michael : okay . well , call me if you have any questions ? carly : i will . michael : okay . see you . bobbie : hmm . lucas : i can help out if you need an assist . carly : no , that 's okay . i can just call nelle and ask her to come in . [ scene_break ] nelle : is something wrong ? felicia : no , no . i , um ... i 'm just taking in your room , you know . i see that you prefer clean lines as opposed to slip - covered , modified country - chic . nelle : i guess . um , well , here 's your water . felicia : oh , thanks . i 'm parched . nelle : yeah . [ cell phone ringing ] nelle : oh . sorry . excuse me . felicia : mm - hmm . nelle : hey , carly . hi . i am so sorry to call you on your day off . but i could really use some help setting up the forms for morgan 's foundation . can you meet me at sonny 's ? please ? i 'll pay you overtime . nelle : yeah . yeah , not a problem . um , i 'll be right over . duty calls . felicia : oh , yeah , well , i gathered . i 'll just be going . and , you know , i can just leave this stuff behind , and we can go through it the next time that i come back . nelle : okay . i - i can see myself out . thank you . oh , uh , it was a real pleasure getting to know you . i - i 'll see you soon . nelle : okay . have a good day . felicia : mm . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] finn : [ sniffs as he takes a pill ] brad : how 's the pain ? feeling any better ? finn : what do you want , brad ? brad : security . peace of mind . i just heard your girlfriend talking to michael corinthos . and , uh , this hospital is circling the drain , which means i might be out of a job soon . so let 's make sure we 're both on the same page , okay ? i get co - credit for the blackwood 's cure . and then i stay silent about why you 're lying to doctors and acting like a common street junkie trying to get his next fix . finn : whatever you think you know , you do n't . you 're wrong . brad : oh , i 'm not wrong about wanting to be compensated for my work . so we have a deal , or what ? pay up , or i do n't shut up . [ scene_break ] jason : want to switch ? curtis : yeah . what the hell . jason : good man . curtis : look , man , first and foremost , this is about morgan and tj . two kids who got caught up in a crossfire . i only want justice . yeah , guess it 's just the cop in me , but i ca n't stand to see bad guys get away with stuff . and the person who planted that bomb ? that 's a bad , bad guy ... or gal . jason : so this is all about justice , huh ? curtis : only partly . it 's also about the cop in me . about the man i used to be . the man i always wanted to be . i somehow lost him a long time ago . sure would like to get him back , though . now , i 'm sure you 're aware of the mistakes i 've made in my past . those mistakes have haunted me . they make folks look at me twice on the street no matter how pure my motives . jason : curtis ? i do n't think it 's `` folks `` that you 're worried about . i think it 's one person in particular . could be wrong . curtis : they say the truth shall set you free . hmm ? it 's what they say , right ? well , maybe if we find truth , i can prove my worth . prove that i am that man , that cop , that dude i 've always wanted to be . [ scene_break ] olivia : you ask too many questions . julian : well , there 's an easy way to put a stop to it . just answer my question . what is it about gh that 's so important to you ? olivia : i have very fond memories there . julian : no , you do n't . you have awful memories . in fact , this whole town holds nothing but painful , cruel memories for you . i can not fathom why you 'd want to come back here . i mean , why now ? olivia : ah - ah - ah . those are several different questions . and right now they are above your pay grade . all you really need to know is what will happen if you 're not successful . come take a look . [ instrumental music playing ] olivia : hmm . julian : you hacked into gh 's security cameras ? olivia : mm . yes , uh ... i got quite an education overseas , and cloud hacking is so easy . it 's a skill that i have now . it made it so much easier to see your -- your son and his husband . it 's -- t - they 're the cutest couple i 've ever seen , are n't they ? [ scene_break ] brad : [ sighs ] lucas : what were you and finn talking about ? brad : oh , it was , uh ... it was nothing . lucas : oh . really ? 'cause to me , it sounded like you were blackmailing him . [ scene_break ] bobbie : how did it go ? felicia : well , i ca n't be sure . but i suspect that nelle is being less than truthful about this boyfriend of hers . [ scene_break ] sonny : so where 's michael ? i thought that he was supposed to help us with the foundation . carly : you know those high - flying gh board members . something came up . sonny : oh , he 's on the board now . i 'm sure tracy and monica are just thrilled to death . carly : i 'm sure they are . but you know , there was an emergency session , so i called someone else to help . nelle : hi , mr. corinthos . carly : you can call him sonny , nelle . you can call him sonny by now . you know what ? go ahead and put the papers down there on the desk . nelle : well , i 'm ready to get started whenever you are . carly : okay , great . um , i think we have a few copies of our tax returns up in the bedroom cabinet upstairs . do you know where the bedroom is ? nelle : i 'm sure i can find my way . [ scene_break ] olivia : lucas and brad . that 's his husband 's name , right ? i bet they had a beautiful wedding . another family gathering i was n't invited to . julian : why are you watching them ? olivia : why do you think ? and if you 're worried about your son , do n't be . i saw him earlier today . he was out in the park with his mother having a wonderful time . you are not gon na make me send somebody over there again , are you ? julian : no , no . [ sighs ] i get it . if it 's gh you want , it 's ... gh you 'll get . i 'll have to grease some palms , get some allies on the board , get that sale approved . provided ... you lay off my family . olivia : we 'll see . julian : [ chuckles ] [ instrumental music playing ] [ music stops ] curtis : hold on . the music stopped . julian : no more threats . no more bombs under my car . we 're done . i 'm tired of living in fear of my own sister . curtis : did he say `` sister `` ? [ camera shutter clicks ] [ scene_break ] brad : i think you just misheard . i ... i told you how it is with arrogant doctors like finn . they trample all over the support staff unless we stand up for ourselves . [ sighs ] okay , look . i - it 's been a tense time around here . maybe i overreacted with him just a little . lucas : you sure ? 'cause there was a tone in your voice , brad . it reminded me of how you used to be . i mean , i know you 've changed a lot the last couple years . it 's why i can depend on you now , and i hope for the rest of my life . brad : of course , you can . lucas , i will always take care of you . okay ? of us . lucas : yeah , you 're right . sorry i doubted you . brad : [ scoffs ] [ pager chimes ] lucas : um , oh . yes . i am late for rounds . i got to go . i 'll see you at lunch , okay ? brad : okay . [ scene_break ] [ finn takes his last pill ] [ scene_break ] hayden : so , what do you think ? please tell me my numbers are off or something , that you see another solution . michael : no , your numbers are solid . are you absolutely sure there 's nothing else we can trim ? even temporarily ? hayden : i 've nickled and dimed this every which way already . the only way to keep the hospital doors open is to make personnel cuts across the board . including the nurses .

'cause he 's scamming you and you 're just falling for it . molly : i 'm just trying to show compassion . you should try it sometime . just consider the possibility that rafe is innocent . that means that his mother was just murdered right in front of him . now he 's all alone , and worst of all , he has people just like you rushing to judgment against him without knowing all the facts ! anna : could you just -- is everything all right out here ? molly : yeah , it 's fine . t.j. : no , it 's not , actually . you need to tell her to stay away from the prisoners . mcbain : come on , rafe . your mom was worried about this guy . she must have talked about him . did she ever give you a name ? rafe : caleb . mcbain : the same thing she called me when she walked into the police station . same as lucy coe . anyway , that 's not my name . it 's john mcbain . here , have a look . it does n't get much more official than that . rafe : what is that supposed to prove ? for all i know , you changed your name . mcbain : if i did , how does it explain the rest of my life , you know ? i was in the fbi for eight years . i was a cop in llanview , pennsylvania , for eight more years and now in port charles . i got records that can prove everything that i 'm saying to you . rafe : i do n't care what you say . i know what i saw . mcbain : okay , so tell me . tell me exactly how it happened . rafe : i got to the pier , and she was fighting you . okay , i called for her , she -- she looked back -- so did you . she was terrified , but -- you were smiling . just smiling . and that 's when you killed her . mcbain : thing is , i was n't there . i did n't get to the pier till after your mom was on the ground . so if you 're telling the truth , kid , then your mom was murdered by somebody that looks just like me . lucy : rafe is my cousin 's son . he is not yours ! caleb : ha ha ! that 's a cute story , is n't it ? that 's the story alison wanted everyone to believe . but you and i both know better . [ chuckles ] your cousin could n't father a child ! he sure as hell did n't stick around long enough to claim him for his own ! lucy : he left to find you ! he wanted to protect alison and her child ! but now rafe 's an orphan . caleb : no ! wrong answer again ! rafe has a father -- and i think it 's time he gets to know him again . in fact , i think it 's time he learns the whole truth about who he really is -- about how a stolen wish brought him into existence . not my wish , not my doing ! but he is mine , and i will claim him as my own ! lucy : you are not going anywhere near that boy ! caleb : who 's gon na stop me ? mcbain : so start with that . there 's a guy out there and he looks like me . rafe : exactly like you ? mcbain : how does he dress ? rafe : in black , like you . mcbain : what does that mean , huh ? black jacket , black shirt , black pants ? think . rafe : i do n't know . it happened so fast . i do n't remember . mcbain : think , kid ! just spit it out ! if you can remember something , just shout it out ! rafe : mom ! alison : no , no , rafe ! no , please stay back there ! do n't -- no ! aah ! rafe : the ring . you 're not wearing the ring . tracy : as you can see , lucy will not be turning over her 1 % anytime soon . luke : well , do n't count ms . coe out . she 's a very determined woman . tracy : i consider her a determined lunatic . even if she is n't gon na stake any more police detectives , she 's done irreparable harm to my position at elq . luke : well , if i were you , i 'd be more concerned about the two other stooges . todd manning was heather 's henchman when she had me locked in that shed . we should be concerned that he 's not gon na show up again in his hockey mask with a machete -- or that heather is n't going to make a move on anna . tracy : anna was a spy . she 's the current police commissioner . she 's fully capable of taking care of herself . luke : mm . anna : commissioner devane . luke : anna , hi . it 's luke . uh , listen , i just heard about heather . anna : you checking up on me ? luke : well , i know that you 're gon na tell me you 've got it all handled . anna : oh , yeah , well , thanks for the concern , but we are conducting a thorough search . as you know , heather is unpredictable , so you need to be careful . luke : well , you , too , slim . [ sighs ] just tell me that you 're okay . that 's all . anna : i 'm fine . luke : that 's what i need to hear . i 'll talk to you later . tracy : so , can i assume that slim -- `` bony `` in my book -- is safe and sound ? luke : yeah , all is quiet on the port chuckles front . tracy : gee , that 's good to know . now can we get back to the business at hand -- namely me and saving what 's left of my father 's company ? luke : look , with lucy coe 's 1 % out of play , that leaves you and a.j . deadlocked . he 's got the upper hand , and you 're out in the cold . tracy : unless ned is right and there is another quartermaine heir . and carly holds that secret . carly : look , i do n't have a lot of time . todd : i do n't have a lot of time , either . i got a lot of things to figure out . i got to figure out how to get back to my family . hey . i 'm really glad that you caught me . carly : really ? todd : yeah . to talk to you . there 's something i need to ask you . carly : you need to ask me . what , do you want your passport back , all the money i took from you ? you want me to give you a head start before anna catches up with you ? todd : carly . carly : what ? todd : i want you to run away with me . that 's good ! mcbain : what ring ? rafe : the gold one you were wearing when you stabbed my mother . you figured i 'd recognize it , so you took it off . mcbain : what was it like ? like a wedding band ? rafe : no , it was n't on the left hand . it -- it was weird - looking , like -- why am i even telling you this ? look , you know what it looks like . why do you keep asking these questions that you know the answers to ? mcbain : no , rafe , i do n't have the answers . the only thing i know is i did n't kill your mother , but somebody did , and he 's still out there . you want to find him , every detail you can think of would help us . so what do you say we do that ? why do n't you help me ? that means you stop jerking me around and you start telling me about that ring . lucy : i will keep you from rafe . caleb : you ca n't stop me . look at yourself , your little cross shaking . it 's -- it 's pathetic , really . lucy : i have friends . i have friends . they know i 'm here . caleb : there 's nowhere to run . and these friends you speak of -- lucy , they -- they pretend to believe you . they do . and then they laugh behind your back and they talk behind your back . they humor the crazy lady . but , me -- i believe you . because i know i 'm real , and i know my power is endless . lucy : no . you can be stopped . you can be stopped . caleb : not by you . i admire your persistence . i -- i do . i admire your courage , but -- but i always knew this was a losing battle . and now the time has come . lucy : [ whimpers ] caleb : your only choice -- is to surrender . anna : hi . molly : hi . uh , you 're obviously busy , so -- anna : no , no , i 'm not too busy . i want to hear what this young man was talking about earlier . did you slip past a guard to go down and visit a prisoner ? molly : i did n't realize that was n't allowed . my mother visits her clients all the time . anna : oh , come on . i do n't need to explain the difference to you , do i ? though maybe your mother would like to cover that subject in greater detail . we could call her if you like -- molly : no , that 's okay . i -- it wo n't happen again . anna : no , it can not happen again . you put yourself in serious danger going down to that holding cell . molly : i apologize , commissioner devane . i know what i did was foolish , but i -- i promise , nothing bad happened . i 'm not in trouble , am i ? anna : no , but one of my guards will be . all right . out of here . molly : thank you . i -- anna : no , you 're going with a warning . do n't you ever do anything like that again , young lady . t.j. : do n't worry . she wo n't . molly : i really appreciate you being so understanding . anna : this is not an understanding face . molly : uh , if you 'll excuse me , i 'm late for my sister 's arraignment . judge shepperd : ms. davis , do you have any questions for ms . falconeri ? alexis : uh , no , your honor . i think ms . falconeri has made her position very clear . we 'd like to move that the charges be dropped against my dau -- defendant . campbell : objection . may we speak in chambers ? judge shepperd : i do n't think that 's going to be necessary . ms. falconeri may step down . thank you . alexis : ms. falconeri , by her own testimony , has not been coerced . she voluntarily recanted her statement . i think the district attorney is just unwilling to concede defeat . campbell : the people fully intend to prove this case , your honor . we have sufficient evidence to go to trial . alexis : but without cooperation from the complaining witness , that 's going to be a little difficult , is n't it ? campbell : so now we just all go home ? a crime was committed , your honor . the perpetrator does not simply get to walk away . judge shepperd : mr. campbell , i 'm inclined to agree . i ca n't speak to what motivated the victim to so -- radically alter her story , but the evidence strongly supports the victim 's original statement . the case could move forward to trial , but with your agreement , mr. campbell , the court would consider a guilty plea to a second - degree - assault charge , with community service and a suspended sentence -- say 500 hours . would that be acceptable to the district attorney 's office ? campbell : certainly not , your honor . but i 'm clearly outnumbered . judge shepperd : ms. corinthos - davis . the charge of second - degree assault -- how do you plead ? alexis : go ahead . kristina : guilty , your honor . judge shepperd : then we 're done . you 'll be notified as to the terms of your community service . until that time , ms . corinthos - davis , you are free to go . we 're adjourned . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise . kristina : oh , god . tracy : we need leverage , luke . if ned 's suspicion is correct and there is another quartermaine heir out there somewhere , they are entitled to between 6 % and 12 % of daddy 's share . we need to find that person and get them to vote with me . luke : but maybe ned is wrong . what would carly know about a missing quartermaine heir ? she ca n't stand you people . tracy : carly 's son is a quartermaine . maybe she 's keeping the heir secret because she wants to make sure that michael gets a bigger slice of the inheritance . luke : what slice ? there is no inheritance . you bankrupted the company . tracy : would you stop stalling and put the screws to your niece ? ! carly knows the truth ! all you got to do is find out what it is ! carly : you want me to run away with you ? todd : yeah . come on . run away with me . start a whole new life far , far away from here . carly : why would i do that ? todd : because you and i have a -- we 've had a connection since the moment we saw one another . that 's why . carly : every time that i think we have something real and that you 're different from johnny , you lie to me over and over again . todd : johnny -- carly : yeah , johnny . remember him ? todd : yeah . did he ever ask you to run away with him ? carly : yeah . the night before that horrible wedding , he wanted me to run away with him so i would n't find out that he betrayed me by marrying connie . so what the hell is your reason , todd ? todd : of course he did . it 's a preemptive strike to avoid bad behavior . you know every rotten thing that i 've ever done , and you still know that what you and i have is real . that proves that what you and i have is completely different from whatever you used to have with johnny . carly : you and johnny are weasels . todd : [ laughing ] carly : what are you doing ? todd : it 's a funny word -- `` weasel `` is a funny word . you do n't love that weasel . you love this weasel . are you working at the wrong end of hair ? todd : and i love you . carly : todd -- todd : no , hold on a second . no , no , no , no . because i 'm not -- you do n't know me that well . it 's not something that i say -- i would n't say that to you if i did n't mean it . carly : what ? supposed to change everything ? [ chuckles ] yeah . todd : carly , we both made a lot of mistakes . we both screwed up every relationship we 've ever had . all that -- it gives us experience , right ? so you and i know -- when we 're in something real . we could start a whole -- a whole new life . there 's nothing that you and i could n't deal with if we were together . hey . carly : todd -- todd : you want this as much as i want this . kristina : why did you do that for me ? connie : 'cause it was the right thing to do . i know that you cared about my son , and -- losing him , i figured you 'd been punished enough already . alexis : honey , we have to get some paperwork signed , and then we 're gon na go home , okay ? kristina : okay . connie : what ? olivia : proud of you , cuz . connie : thanks . sonny : guess it 's my turn . thank you . what you did -- means a lot to me . connie : it was the right thing to do . sonny : maybe now you can go all - in and -- make it right for my other kid , too . just tell the truth , you know ? tell michael that i had nothing to do with that information that brought down elq . molly : i ca n't believe you turned me in to the police commissioner . t.j. : what else was i supposed to do when you snuck down to the cells to visit a murderer ? molly : he 's not a murderer . he 's a murder suspect . hey , shawn . shawn : hey , yourselves . what 's going on with you two ? lucy : no . caleb , no . [ echoing ] no ! no ! [ wind blowing ] lucy : [ sighs ] [ gasps ] mcbain : so you think it was gold . rafe : yeah , i saw it when you were struggling with my mother . i guess i was in shock or something . i do n't know . but all i could focus on was the shape of the ring . mcbain : can you describe it ? rafe : it was a crest . mcbain : uh - huh . like a signet ring . rafe : right . i do n't know , but i think it -- i think it had a bat on it . where you going ? mcbain : i 'm gon na follow up . thanks for the help . rafe : just so you know , this does n't mean that i think you 're innocent . mcbain : for the record , the feeling 's mutual , kid . we should both hope i get the truth . you score little victories every day . todd : when we first met -- you helped me sneak into the hospital to see my daughter . do you remember that ? do you ? carly : yeah . that was a long time ago . todd : do you regret making that choice ? carly : i do n't regret it . todd : okay . you wo n't regret making this choice , either . carly : i gave you a choice in the courtroom . you -- you made a choice -- todd : i told you in the courtroom i 'm a crazy person . i told you that . i lie all the time . i screw everything up . i am every horrible thing that i ever warned you that i was . you want someone that you can trust . i 'm someone you can trust .

[ scene_break ] maxie : it 's possible that lulu might have mishandled that situation , but -- nina : okay , listen . valentin is charlotte 's father . he gives her security and stability . but more important than that , charlotte adores him . she loves him . and he 's fighting to be with his daughter , because honestly , maxie , it 's what charlotte wants . and it 's what 's best for her . maxie : what 's best for charlotte is that her parents compromise . is that really so hard ? i mean , spinelli and i co - parent , and we 're on opposite coasts . nina : valentin wanted to compromise . lulu refused . and now it 's too late . after what happened at your wedding , charlotte wants nothing to do with lulu anymore . so how about that ? listen [ sighs ] my husband is fighting for his rights as a father , and i back him completely . maxie : lulu 's my best friend . i back her completely . nina : wow . okay , well , we 're in an awkward situation , are n't we ? [ sighs ] um , let 's just agree to disagree on this . all right ? we obviously , um , see things differently . and i think it 's best that we just do n't talk about anything regarding charlotte . maxie : yeah , i do n't , uh -- i do n't know if that 's possible . nina : no , wait , wait , wait . wait , wait , wait . wait , wait , wait . [ sighs ] you 're my sister - in - law . not only that -- we work together . come on . maxie , you taught me everything i know about fashion . and you know the most important thing you taught me is , `` fashion never sleeps . `` so ... let 's not let this disagreement ruin anything that has to do with crimson . let 's just agree that we 're on different sides , and we wo n't discuss anything charlotte - related at work , okay ? maxie : okay . i can try to do that . nina : okay , good . all right , so , um , artemisia , their summer line -- what 's -- what 's happening with that ? [ cell phone ringing ] maxie : uh , you -- you were right . couture is sniffing that backless chiffon . [ ringing continues ] nina : wait a second . mrs. evans , hello . is everything okay ? oh , okay , you 're sister 's sick . okay . no , no , no , do n't worry about it . go -- go be with your family . i - i understand . no , no , that 's fine . that 's fine . go ahead and do that . okay . bye - bye . maxie : is everything okay ? nina : um , yeah . that 's charlotte 's nanny . she has a family emergency . she 's bringing charlotte here . maxie : hm . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : amy . is everything okay ? amy : no , everything is very much not okay . elizabeth : what happened ? amy : ask your sister -- hayden . michael : [ sighs ] amy is just a preview of what it 's gon na be like around here if the board decides to go this route . hayden : but we 're in agreement . michael : yeah . i hate it , but it 's the only way to keep gh open . hayden : well , better a pared - down hospital than no hospital at all . [ scene_break ] jason : good driving . i 'm pretty sure we got out of there without anybody from that shop seeing us outside . [ sighs ] but i got to tell you -- something does n't add up . i think that woman could have certainly been ava , and , as far as i know , julian only has one sister . curtis : well , then , that 's it . game over . jason : no . no , it 's not . why would ava have to meet julian so secretively ? and what does that chinese symbol for `` reincarnation `` have to do with either of them ? curtis : so you 're thinking that probably was n't ava in that room with , uh , julian . jason : i ca n't say for sure . i did n't see her face . she never spoke when the music was off . curtis : hm . i do n't know . okay , well , he said `` sister . `` we know his sister is blonde . ava is blonde . she was brought up on murder charges , but she got off on a technicality . far as i 'm concerned , it 's clear cut , man . she 's the one . jason : mm , like i said , something does n't add up . curtis : so , do we continue investigating , or do we go ahead and tell sonny what we found ? [ scene_break ] sonny : was it still snowing when you came over ? carly : no , but you do need to get louie to , um , shovel some snow off the roof . it 's really piling up . sonny : yeah , i would n't know . carly : [ sighs ] i know . sonny : well , yeah . carly : i 'm so sorry you 're stuck inside . sonny : well , look , no matter how cold it is , there 's a lot of worse things in life . carly : yeah . well , hopefully you 'll be free by the time spring rolls around . [ laughs ] sonny : fingers crossed . carly : you know , uh , even if i did n't need those tax forms , i still would 've stopped by to see you . sonny : well , you know , it would 've been better to wake up to your beautiful face . carly : hmm . i 'm sorry . sonny : what ? carly : i want to be here every day , but josslyn 's just not ready yet . sonny : no , i do n't want to pressure her . i mean , i know -- i do n't want to , you know , do anything she ca n't handle . carly : yeah . thank you . thank you for understanding . [ sighs ] so , how are you really ? sonny : uh ... i 'm fine . yeah ? as soon as jason finds out who 's calling the shots with julian and this is all over , i 'll really be fine . carly : well , that will be great . 'cause we 've been through a lot these past few months , and it would be really nice to have something to celebrate . sonny : well , i got -- i got , you know , a few ideas of , like , what we can do while we 're waiting . carly : really ? [ laughing ] sonny : i mean , just a few . [ scene_break ] alexis : well , lulu , i am sorry that charlotte had an averse reaction to hearing that you were her mother . i 'm sure that that was very hurtful . lulu : now valentin wo n't let me see her at all . he 's going to tell the courts that charlotte is scared of me . alexis : but the judge is gon na take into consideration the entire circumstance of the conception and her birth . for starters , a surrogate carried the embryo without your permission . and once you found out about it , you did everything you could to form a bond with her , which shows devotion as a mother and that you care about your daughter . lulu : assuming that dante and i are able to paint ourselves in the best light possible ... dante : [ sighs ] lulu : ... will it work ? do you think we have any chance of getting full custody of my daughter ? [ scene_break ] maxie : hey , charlotte . did you decide to come work with nina today ? nina : yeah , she sure did . and wait until you see all the accessories that came in today for a photo shoot . charlotte : is it a box full of costumes like last time ? nina : actually , it 's even better . accessories are shoes and purses and jewelry . [ both laugh ] nina : and you know what ? you get to help me pick out all the accessories that we 're gon na put in the magazine . it 's gon na be a lot of fun . charlotte : yes . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh , sorry . hayden : elizabeth . elizabeth , hey , hey . elizabeth : [ sighs ] hayden : i heard what happened to you with tom baker 's brother . i ca n't even imagine . how are you ? elizabeth : i 'd feel a lot better if i knew my job was safe . i know the hospital needs to save money . so , are you cutting staff ? hayden : it 's not official , yeah . elizabeth : but that 's the plan -- never mind the people in the jobs , how hard they work ? all that matters are numbers in a balance sheet ? is that right ? i do n't know how you 're gon na sleep at night . but j - just tell me -- are you gon na fire me , too , your own sister ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you want to go upstairs ? carly : mm . i thought you 'd never ask . [ door opens ] jason : hey , sonny . uh , hi . sorry . [ clears throat ] carly : hey . [ door closes ] carly : did you finish your surveillance ? jason : yes . sonny : what did you find out ? any information on the woman who 's pulling julian 's strings ? [ scene_break ] hayden : i am just doing my job . your job is to get the hospital out of debt by whatever means you think of . elizabeth : and , you know , the very first day you started here , you threatened to fire me ? [ scoffs ] i just never thought you 'd actually do it . hayden : that was months ago . and things are completely different between us now . at least , i thought they were . elizabeth : yeah , so did i. i thought maybe your near - brush with death would 've taught you a little compassion . hayden : that is being completely unfair . my job is to recommend ways for the board to keep gh running . they ultimately decide what to do . elizabeth : and your recommendation is what , to fire the nurses , the orderlies , the rest of the staff , who else ? amy : sure was -- she said as much to me not 20 minutes ago . hayden : [ scoffs ] guys , come on . d - do you really think that i want to cut jobs ... amy : [ scoffs ] hayden : ... even one job ? no , i do n't . but it might be the only way that we can save the hospital as a whole . felix : what kind of hospital will it be if you cut the nursing staff ? hayden : you know what ? let me put this in medical terms . someone has gangrene in their leg . if you amputate , they lose a leg , which is awful , and no one wants to do that , but if do n't amputate , they die . felix : we 're talking about numbers on a balance sheet , not cutting off limbs . hayden : yeah , well , if we keep losing money , the hospital 's gon na have to close . one way to save money is to reduce staff . felix : we are the soul of this place . we make general hospital what it is . hayden : i know that . everyone was great to me when i was a patient here . i do n't want to change the hospital , either . but if we do n't figure out a way to solve this budget crisis , then the hospital is gon na close . there will be no hospital here at all . a building that once saved lives will be nothing but an empty shell waiting to be turned into condos . some tough decisions are gon na have to be made . [ scene_break ] nina : that 's how we pick all the pictures that we want to put in the magazine . which one here do you like the best ? [ telephone rings ] maxie : i got it . crimson . hi , carolyn , how are -- [ scoffs ] okay . um , would you like -- okay , sure , just hold on one second . um , it 's the new advertiser from the car company . nina : mm - hmm . maxie : she sounds ... mad . nina : yeah . i 'll take it in my office . hey , carolyn . this is nina reeves . um ... no . maxie : charlotte , i like your outfit . nina : okay , i get it . we 'll ... charlotte : nina picked it out for me . nina : ... reschedule a time . we 'll talk tomorrow . no , your account is very , very important to us . i 've said that . all right , fine . no , i understand . i 'll be there . [ puts down phone ] maxie : what 's going on ? nina : she said that 's she 's gon na pull all her ads immediately if i do n't meet with her right now . maxie : well , go . nina : but charlotte . maxie : are you kidding ? charlotte and i can finish picking out pictures for the layout . nina : you sure ? maxie : oh , come on , nina . i would be happy to watch her . [ scene_break ] michael : hey , nelle . nelle : hey , michael . i was just at the bar getting a cup of coffee . um , do you want to join me ? michael : you know what ? i might not be the best company right now . nelle : do you want to talk about it ? here , tell me -- tell me what 's going on . michael : um ... [ sighs ] well ... [ chuckles ] i 've -- i 've been trying to make budget cuts . i was finding ways to make budget cuts at general hospital . nelle : looks like it 's not going too well . michael : [ sighs ] no , people are gon na lose their jobs . and even that might be too little too late . and i thought by taking a seat on the board i 'd be able to help , but the hospital is so far in the red that it might be too late to save it . nelle : well ... why do you think it 's up to you ? [ scene_break ] alexis : all right , look , what you need to do is make valentin play defense . it 's his marriage that 's the issue , not yours . lulu : how ? he just found another mother for charlotte . alexis : exactly -- nina , of all people . what 'd he -- what 'd he do , meet her a few months ago , and now he 's married to her ? i mean , that could backfire on him . the judge is gon na look at that and think that he 's possibly trying to manipulate the court . lulu : that is exactly what valentin is doing . he only married nina for show . dante : you think our case is viable ? alexis : i do , but that does n't mean that you 're off the hook . so , from now till the trial , you do n't give valentin any ammunition . no more ambush visits with charlotte . i mean , if you can work it out with him , that 's fine . but if not , you do n't see her unless you have valentin 's express permission . lulu : okay . alexis : okay , i know that 's gon na be hard for you . but you need to look like the more reasonable parent , that you have charlotte 's best interest at heart . lulu : thank you . alexis : you good ? lulu : yes . thank you for your advice . alexis : yeah . i have another appointment , so i have to go . um -- oh , here . uh , i 'll let diane know what we talked about and where we stand , and i will , uh -- one of us will get back in touch with you , all right ? take care . lulu : thank you so much , alexis . alexis : you bet . dante : thank you , alexis . thank you . [ sighs ] oh , come here . come here . it 's okay . julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carly : you and curtis find something that will clear sonny ? jason : uh , we 've got a few new leads but nothing concrete . carly : okay , i get that you guys want to talk alone , so i 'm gon na go . but before i leave -- when you find out who killed my son , when you 're 100 % sure , you 're gon na tell me , right ? you promise you 're gon na tell me ? jason : i 'll tell you . i promise . carly : thank you . hey , i 'll see you . sonny : yeah . you can count on it . what 's going on ? the surveillance equipment brick gave you did n't work ? jason : it worked , just not as well as we had hoped . the audio was garbled , and , uh , we could n't get a plain view of sight . sonny : well , you found something , or you would n't be here . jason , if you and curtis found who 's responsible for killing my son , you need to tell me right now . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm waiting for my coat . julian : i see . alexis : i did n't expect to see you here . julian : yeah , yeah , i 'm just , uh , meeting someone . yeah , you , uh , you look great , by the way . alexis : thank you . julian : yeah . alexis : you look tired . everything all right ? julian : uh , i 'm fine . uh , i guess it 's just because i came from a trying meeting . alexis : i 'm going to a meeting -- i 'm sure no less trying than yours . but at least they have doughnuts where i 'm going . julian : oh . alexis : oh . one of those meetings . julian : well , at the risk of dampening your enthusiasm , i 'm glad to hear it . alexis : what , did you think i would n't go just to spite you ? julian : oh , i do n't know . you were , uh , kind of reluctant to go in the first place , were n't you ? alexis : i do n't like doing things in groups . julian : hm . alexis : i also do n't ... did n't like what it would mean . hm . but i 'm an alcoholic whether i go to the meeting or not . that 's what my sponsor told me . [ flashback ] julian : how exactly do you two know each other ? alexis : if you must know , i met her in aa . she is my sponsor . julian : how dare you ? olivia jerome : oh , do n't be so melodramatic . i am being a very good sponsor . i am helping alexis . julian : you 're not an alcoholic . you do n't know the first thing about aa or helping somebody that 's an alcoholic . olivia : and do n't forget i 'm always here for you . just a phone call away . [ back to present ] julian : your sponsor -- uh , liv , right ? alexis : mm - hmm , liv . she 's actually helping me stay on track , you know , without the insipid catchphrases and the new age stuff . i 've really come to appreciate her help . [ scene_break ] jason : like i said , we could n't get a clear view . but we were able to watch a bit of julian 's meeting , tried to listen in to his conversation . sonny : it 's a woman , right ? jason : it 's a woman , but ... sonny : well -- jason : ... i could n't see . i was able to see through the slats . julian was blocking my view . i could n't see her face . sonny : well , this woman has managed to stay under the radar for a long time . the five families do n't even know who she is . what about the fancy mike ? did you get anything from the ... jason : we got some . sonny : brick said it was top - of - the - line , jason . jason : right , but these people were smart . they were careful . they played music when they spoke . so the laser was n't able to differentiate between the music and the conversation . everything we heard was muffled . sonny : did julian say the woman 's name at least ? jason : he did n't . sonny : you did n't find anything that you can identify this woman ? jason : [ sighs ] you know [ chuckles ] not yet , but we 're getting close . sonny : how close is `` close `` ? jason : i do n't know , but when i 'm gon na let you know when i do . sonny : okay , wait , wait , wait , 'cause i get a feeling that you 're -- you 're leaving something out . [ scene_break ] michael : i 've been so fortunate my whole life . and i - i just want to give back . nelle : that 's sweet . i mean , i would love to help the less fortunate . i just do n't have the means . i know i have more than a lot of people , but i do n't have any disposable income . michael : well , i mean , you might not be able to save a hospital , but that does n't mean you ca n't help anybody . i mean , you already have . you were a -- you were a teacher 's aide , right ? nelle : mm - hmm . michael : so you nurtured all the kids in your class . nelle : i guess i never thought of it that way . michael : yeah , well , you should . you do n't need a lot of money to help somebody . and you 're -- you 're one of the most decent people i know . carly : hey . there you are . michael , i did n't know you were here . michael : hey . yeah . nelle : uh , sorry , i was just grabbing a cup of coffee real quick . carly : that 's okay . i 'm sorry to interrupt you . um , olivia told me that these arrived for you yesterday , and they were back in the back room . nelle : yes . i - i forgot . i 'm sorry . i 'll , um , i 'll take these home tonight . carly : that 's okay . that 's okay . i just wanted to make sure you got them , that you were able to enjoy them . they 're absolutely beautiful .

[ scene_break ] logan : look , i do n't have time to waste doing this . scott : now , listen to me . we got to get you checked out . you know , that cracked rib -- we got to make sure it does n't go into your lung or something . logan : listen to me , i do n't care , okay ? lulu -- ah -- lulu 's the one who 's really hurting here . i 'm such a fool . who else knew her father raped her mother ? scott : well , actually , a lot of people knew that . logan : yeah , except for me . oh . i never would 've come on so strong if i had known that . scott : well , you know what ? it 's too late for that there , casanova , okay ? so let 's just get you checked out , then i 've got to go check on alexis . her daughter sam was hit and left for dead -- it 's a wonder she 's still alive . [ scene_break ] sam : why wo n't you tell me who you think hit me ? lucky : i have no proof . just like there 's no proof that this text - message kill -- who 's supposed to be dead -- is the one who chased you in the road when you got hit . sam : that 's great -- meaning you do n't believe me . lucky : meaning if there 's proof leading to the person or persons who put you in the hospital , i 'll find it . sam : oh , why , because it 's your job , and only because it 's your job ? i guess there 's nothing personal , huh ? there 's -- there 's nothing personal left between us at all ? [ scene_break ] jason : you do n't know that you hit her . elizabeth : i checked myself out of the hospital against my doctor 's advice . i fell asleep at the wheel on the way up here . i was jolted awake by what i thought was hitting the shoulder of the road . what if i hit sam ? there is so much animosity between the two us , no one would ever believe it was an accident . elizabeth : a judge would think i had plenty of motives . all of sam 's lies and manipulations would come out -- how she watched jake get kidnapped and did nothing , how she hired thugs to attack me . jason : okay , you 're getting -- you ' getting ahead of yourself . elizabeth : i mean , everybody at wyndemere knows that we got in a fight . it would seem awfully convenient if i just fell asleep at the wheel and -- and just forgot about hitting her . jason : well , you do n't remember . elizabeth : it 's going to seem like i do n't care whether she lives or dies . i need to say something before it looks worse than it is . jason : no . elizabeth : what ? jason , please do n't tell me you want to try to cover this up because if i did this , i ca n't live with myself if i do n't say anything . jason : before you come forward , we need to be absolutely positive that you did it . you -- you were n't the only person on the road that night . [ scene_break ] lucky : this really is n't the time to get into what happened between us . sam : which part exactly ? the part where we were actually really happy together and were getting really close , or the part where you found out all of the awful things i did and threw me out of your house ? i do n't want you on this case out of guilt . lucky : i was the reason that you were wandering alone and upset that night . sam : no , lucky , i was ! i did all of those awful things and i take full responsibility for everything that i have done . and the person who almost suffered the worst here was jake . and to think -- to think that i could 've done all of those awful things that i did to an innocent child because i was so consumed with hate for his parents . i had kind of a breakdown , you know , mentally and morally , and i -- i felt abandoned and so betrayed . but you changed that for me . and if i -- if i knew that we had the slightest chance of working things out , that you would actually find it in yourself to believe in me -- lucky : i got to get on this . sam : my phone is down by the docks . go find it , please . maybe it 'll prove to you that i 'm actually telling the truth . lucky : oh , about that ? anyway , you know what ? sam : oh , my -- i can not believe i have made you so bitter . lucky : it 's not like it 's a new emotion for me . just do yourself and everyone else a favor and let me handle this text - message killer angle my way ? do n't tell anybody any more information until we have more to go on . sam : oh -- lucky : i 'll be back .

[ scene_break ] jerry : and all by way of saying that i will supply any cost to any suitable burial for three that you see fit . maxie : why would you do that ? jerry : well , as far as i know , he did n't have any family and we do owe him out of his loyalty . maxie : oh , so you ca n't be convinced that he killed himself or that he 's the text message killer ? jerry : well , who could say what any one of us would do when we 're backed into a corner ? alexis : oh , good -- a new face . would you mind going in there so she can look at somebody else besides her mother when she wakes up ? maxie : please . alexis : thank you . jerry : did you eat any of the food that i gave you ? alexis : actually , i could use a good , stiff drink . diane : how about some fresh air instead ? alexis : i 'd rather have a drink . jerry : hola , senora . diane : hola . i 'm taking you for a nice , long walk in the park . alexis : i 'd rather have a drink . diane : we may pass a bar . alexis : oh , goody . diane : perdone , senor . jerry : oh , no hay problema , senorita .

[ sighs ] look , mom , i 'm sorry , all right ? i ... i 'm not angry . yeah , i am angry , but i handled it wrong . which is why i need to see a therapist . carly : i promise you , i am not trying to run your life . you said that you would go to therapy . i was just trying to make it easier for you . michael : yeah , i can find my own therapist . i can make my own appointments . carly : okay , fine . all right . but just go talk to dr. bailey and just see if he works for you . michael : i need to do things for myself , mom . carly : michael , you 're 19 , you 're not 40 , okay ? i 'm your mom . and you 've been suffering for months and i should have noticed and i did n't . i should have known something had happened and i should have forced you to talk to me about it , okay ? michael : okay , mom , i 'll go . i 'll work with dr. bailey , but you got ta promise me something . carly : what ? michael : you have to stop blaming yourself for what happened . it 's not your fault . carly : i should have done better for you , michael . michael : i do n't want you to feel guilty . it 's -- you 're a great mom . even when you 're driving me crazy . carly : [ chuckles ] i seem to do that to everyone i love . oh , michael . michael . all right , let 's get out of here . you 're going to be late . come on . michael : are you going to walk me to the office like i 'm six ? carly : oh , yeah . dante : ah . did n't realize you guys were here . carly : yeah , we 're on our way out . michael has an appointment . dante : everything okay ? michael : yeah , yeah , me and dad had a good talk . look , i 'm sorry for throwing anger like i did before . i should have got my facts straight . dante : you do n't owe me an apology for anything . ever . for the rest of the time . carly : we need to get going , michael . lulu : can you guys -- i 'm sorry , can you wait a second ? i do n't know what -- i do n't know what 's going on , i do n't know what you guys are talking about , but dante 's seriously considering resigning from the police force . i 'm assuming it has to do with this . michael : why would you do that ? dante : 'cause i failed , michael . i did n't protect the innocent . [ scene_break ] johnny : seems like we 've had this conversation before . you accused me of hiding a needle for lisa . i do n't know anything more this time than the last time we spoke . patrick : okay , well , let me help jog your memory . while my wife is lying helpless in a hospital bed barely surviving a house fire , lisa comes in and tries to drug her . robin catches her , she runs out , bumps into you , asks you for help . johnny : refresh my memory again as to what my motive might be ; why i would want to help lisa ? patrick : you scratch her back , she scratches yours . it 's that simple . johnny : that 's quite an assumption . patrick : well , it 's no assumption what you do for a living , johnny . and somewhere along the line , you had an accident and needed medical expertise . you did n't want to garner the extra attention by going to the emergency room , so you asked lisa for help . johnny : mmm . right , it 's all coming back to me now . lisa is this psychotic stalker , but you did n't realize that until after you slept with her , of course . patrick : lisa is crazy . not only is she trying to ruin robin 's reputation and career , she 's come dangerously close to killing her and my daughter . johnny : i do n't suppose you have anything resembling proof ? patrick : johnny , you have the proof . all i want is lisa to stop terrorizing my family . johnny : wow , that 's all very traumatic . kind of makes me a bastard for not offering to help out . except i really do n't see much terror going on . all i see is you trying to pin everything on lisa . patrick : i do n't understand how you do n't get this . you are the key to my family 's safety . i need you to help me . [ scene_break ] sam : i just thought that i could never carry a baby to term . i could n't even consider it . so when dr. lee told me otherwise , jason , i had to give it a second thought . and then i thought about where i am right now , and i thought about our life together . and i 've realized that having a baby is not something i want to pursue . i mean , really . jason : is it because of me ? sam : no . jason , no , it 's because of me . i mean , the reality is , my life is not set up to have a child . and i am okay with that . i love my life . i love our life . and i do n't have to justify maxie 's wild imagination by peeing on a stick . jason : are you sure ? sam : yes , i 'm sure . and you know what , jason , i would know if i was pregnant . and i 'm not . i 'm not . so let 's talk about something that actually exists . jason : okay . i need your help . [ scene_break ] brenda : you just need to give me a second , you know , to comprehend , to just accept the fact that this is the mother of your children . and that she can be this spiteful . i mean , i do n't even know why this girl does n't like me . sonny : it 's not personal . she hates every woman that i 'm interested in . brenda : are you delusional ? what do you mean , it 's not personal ? of course it 's personal . this girl would love to think that you and her are the greatest love of all time . and the truth is , i 'm your first love and that kills her . and i will be your last love , and i am stepmother to all of your children . all of your children , that includes her two boys . sonny : mm - hmm . brenda : and you know what really amazes me ? that everyone just walks around here and lets that girl throw tantrums whenever she feels like it . sonny : okay , i -- brenda : including you . sonny : no , not -- okay , that 's jason 's job . now listen . i know that carly , she 's not the most generous when it comes to certain aspects of her life . brenda : oh , you think ? wow . i mean , i would love to be this girl . you know , i just want you to please know this . this , right here , this is step one . this is the first thing she 's going to pull . of many things . sonny : i know carly can be mean . and she 's already made it clear she opposes our marriage . but this could be about something else , like the balkan trying to make a move . brenda : why would someone that powerful do something this silly ? sonny : to get to you . first , the bride 's gown , then the bride . [ scene_break ] michael : but if you 're resigning because of a conflict of interest 'cause you do n't want to go after our dad , that makes sense . but you 're not a bad cop . i 've never seen you fail in your duty to anyone . dante : i appreciate you saying that , michael , but you 're wrong . michael : i ca n't tell you what to do , but i 'd be sorry if you just quit . carly : okay , what michael is n't saying is your grand gesture could hurt him . dante : it wo n't . carly : really ? because i was under the impression a big reason why judge carroll released michael was because you were an upstanding officer of the law . dante : michael 's met all the conditions of his release . he 's on track to finish his parole and go free . there 's nothing i can do or not do that 's going to change that . carly : you sound sure about that . you were also sure that michael was never going to see the inside of a prison cell . michael : mom ... carly : i 'm just simply pointing out that if dante wants to resign , that 's fine , but maybe you should wait until michael 's safe . then do whatever you like . dante : point taken . michael : okay , mom , let 's go . you do n't want to be late , do you ? carly : no . lulu : ugh . are you mad at me for meddling ? dante : no , i do n't want to dump anything else on michael . lulu : michael seems fine . he seems a lot better than you and carly . i have n't seen carly like that since michael was sentenced to prison . and this whole resigning thing is like a delayed response . michael 's been out of prison for months . and you just said that his parole is almost done . so why are you working so hard to trash yourself after the fact ? dante : just because michael dealt with something terrible with a lot of courage does n't give me a free pass . lulu : this would really help if i knew what you were talking about . dante : i know , and i 'm sorry . lulu : so you 're ... so you 're admitting that you 're keeping something from me , but you swore to me that you would n't do that . dante : this has nothing to do with us -- lulu : so it obviously has to do with michael and you 're slitting your wrists over it and carly is taking him to mystery appointments , which does n't make any sense be ... michael was raped in prison ? dante : after all this time , he never said a word . but it confirmed what i always knew . [ scene_break ] patrick : let me ask you something . do you think i invented this long list of crimes that lisa committed against my wife ? johnny : i think there 's a long list of incidents that are open for interpretation . patrick : you have the one piece of evidence that exists , johnny . you give me the syringe and i 'll make it worth your while . johnny : you do realize i have all the money i could want ? patrick : well , i 'm a better doctor than lisa . whatever medical services she 's providing , i 'll improve on them . no questions asked . you can tell yourself that you did the right thing . johnny : why is supporting you automatically the right thing ? and why is liking lisa automatically wrong ? seems like it 's all based on perspective , right ? turns out , mine 's just different than yours . [ scene_break ] lisa : excuse me , doctor , a moment of your time ? [ terrell chuckles ] lisa : okay , sign out and go straight to your hotel room . terrell : now why would i go all the way to the metro court when i have a perfectly good on call room right here ? lisa : okay , just go there . do n't run any errands . do n't get any food in the restaurant . and just wait in your room . you wo n't be sorry .

[ scene_break ] dante : it was the first thing any of us thought when michael got a prison sentence . 18 years old and in jail with the worst people . lulu : i thought sonny 's name would protect him . jason was in there with him . dante : well , jason got there too late . remember franco 's big art exhibit in l.a. ? lulu : yeah , there was a picture of michael and another inmate . dante : carter . he did it . lulu : oh , my god . dante : under franco 's orders . franco recorded his meeting with carter at the pentonville visiting room . told that freak to go after michael . jason went insane , he ripped up the room . i thought he probably would have killed me for seeing the video if he thought he could get away with it . lulu : this is horrible . dante : it was n't said in so many words , but i knew at that moment that michael had been raped . i tried to talk to him about it . he was doing pretty good . he was being pretty brave and strong . he was putting his life back together . it was much easier to convince myself that i was wrong . lulu : yeah , but if michael does n't want to talk , you ca n't force him to talk . dante : well , there was one moment , about a week ago , i came in here and he was beating the crap out of the heavy bag . and he turned on me like he would kill whoever came up on him . i told him that i 'd talk to him about whatever he wanted to talk about . i tried to talk to him a bunch of times . lulu : but he did n't want to . dante : i got ta say there was a small part of me that was pretty relieved not having to hear those words and not having to face the truth . that my brother was raped because of me . [ scene_break ] carly : i 've been through a lot of therapy . it 's really hard , but it helps . michael : [ sighs ] okay , thanks , mom . i got it from here . carly : i 'm proud of you . really proud of you . michael : thanks , mom . carly : okay , go . go . michael : yeah . excuse me . can you tell me where dr. bailey 's office is ? nurse : it 's the second floor , room 237 . michael : okay , thank you . nurse : mm - hmm .

[ scene_break ] robin : okay , i have done all my rounds , put my patients to bed . i 'm out of here . epiphany : ooh , not so fast , doctor . drake jr. left a case for you to take a look at . robin : [ sighs ] well , a little notice would have been nice . the patient 's having surgery at 7 : 00 in the morning tomorrow . epiphany : well , drake jr. already left . robin : of course . he expects me to drop everything and show up at his hotel room . epiphany : ah , do n't look at me . it is not my job . i just pass along the information . robin : oh , oh , oh . [ scene_break ] sonny : carly 's so damn impulsive . you do n't know what she 's going to do from one second to the next . and it can end up destructive . brenda : you know what , i actually do n't want to hear any more about carly . okay ? because the problem with this woman is that she thinks she has the right to run your life . sonny : mm - hmm . brenda : and she does n't . she 's so stupid that she thinks if she , you know , puts a stop to our wedding , that it 's going to somehow put a stop to our marriage . sonny : that 's not going to happen . brenda : she wants you back . sonny : she does not . if she is , i 'm not interested . brenda : yes , she does . yes , she does . and it 's your job to get her to back off . sonny : she 's not wired that way . for whatever reason , she thinks that she 's , you know , helping me in some way . brenda : okay , well , she 's not helping you . and you need to let her know , also , when you have your little talk with her , that it 's my job to help you now . i 'm going to be your wife . she needs to go pay attention to the train wreck that 's her own life . sonny : carly 's not the problem . like i said before -- brenda : what -- sonny : listen to me . i 'm concerned about the wedding . the balkan could make a move . and ... you know . brenda : sonny . look at me . do you want to cancel ? sonny : no . i was just going to ask you if you wanted to elope with me .

patrick : good morning , sleeping beauty . sam : mm . mmph . patrick : time to greet the day . sam : that smells good . patrick : yeah ? you like the cologne i 'm wearing ? sam : [ chuckles ] patrick : oh , you mean the coffee ? sam : thank you . patrick : you 're very welcome . sam : ooh . what time is it ? patrick : just before noon . sam : what ? you 're lying . patrick : i 'm not lying . sam : no . patrick : look at your phone . sam : are you kidding me ? what about danny ? he 's gon na be starving . i got to -- patrick : danny 's fine . he 's fine . we had breakfast this morning already , and we went over to mac and felicia 's , and walked emma to school . then we went by the park and had some man time there . sam : you did ? patrick : mm - hmm . he probably went down the slide at least 50 times . and not that little one that you take him on . we went on the big one . sam : the big one ? patrick : that 's right . sam : he loves that thing . patrick : he does . and now he 's tuckered out , 'cause he 's already taking a nap . sam : i ca n't believe you got all that done before i even woke up . i feel -- patrick : i left you a note , but it 's kind of irrelevant now . sam : mm . patrick : how you feeling ? sam : okay . why ? patrick : 'cause you were tossing and turning all night . sam : i do n't think i fell asleep until this morning . patrick : you know why you 're so restless ? sam : because of jake .

[ scene_break ] governor gatling : my daughter , and many others , are alive today because of you . sonny : i 'm just -- i 'm just glad that nobody was hurt . governor gatling : you acted selflessly and with great courage . and because of your heroism , you 're not gon na spend another day behind bars . guard : the prisoner 's on his way back to pentonville , sir . governor gatling : no , he 's not . mr. corinthos is not going back to prison . [ scene_break ] luke : and now the poor bastards have settled on another bogus theory -- that i 'm bill eckert , of all people . they should 've let bill rest in peace . that son of a bitch has been dead all along . the answer , of course , has been staring them in the face the whole time . but they -- [ laughs ] they just did n't want to see it . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] nathan : the prints of the man that we have in custody are a match for luke spencer . lulu : what ? wait , that 's impossible . tracy : are you telling me ... the man that you have in that cell ... lulu : the maniac who nearly blew up my husband ... tracy : ... is actually luke spencer ? nathan : according to the fingerprints , that is exactly what i 'm telling you . [ scene_break ] luke : to think that someone , anyone , could impersonate me . what a joke ! i am the one ... the only ... lucas lorenzo spencer ! [ scene_break ] spencer : chandler said you wanted to see me as soon as i got home . nikolas : that 's right . spencer : if this is about the disagreement i had with alfred , i still say my toy box should be safe from illegal search and seizure . nikolas : [ chuckles ] uh , we can discuss you raiding the candy pantry and hiding the items in your toy box at another time . spencer : i simply wanted an emergency supply of chocolate close at hand . nikolas : the candy can wait . there 's more important things for us to discuss . spencer : something bad ? nikolas : well , it depends . some people would consider it good news . spencer : are you one of those people ? nikolas : i 'm ambivalent . spencer : about what ? father , you 're making me nervous . nikolas : it 's nothing for you to worry about . your great - grandmother helena has been arrested . [ scene_break ] luke : the sheer idiocy of the pathetic losers in this town ... helena : [ scoffs ] mind - boggling , is n't it ? luke : ... clinging to every shred of hope that these heinous crimes were n't committed by their hero . `` not luke ! no ! `` not the man who saved the world , `` who -- who rescued every damsel in distress for the last 30 years . no , no ! it ca n't be ! `` [ chuckles ] oh , and then to blame poor bill eckert . [ sighs ] helena : well , to be fair , you did confuse matters when you dug up the man 's corpse , stashing the remains in that basement for reasons that still elude me . luke : what happened between me and my cousin is none of your concern . that 's between me and bill ! [ scene_break ] tracy : ca n't be luke . it just ca n't . nathan : i know , given recent events , even the thought of this is troubling . tracy : troubling ? it 's insane . nathan : yeah , but the prints came back a definitive match . tracy : ah , yes , well , the pcpd certainly has enough of luke 's prints on file . nathan : he is no stranger around the precinct . tracy : look , luke may have had his run - ins with the law , but never anything like this . lulu : yeah , tracy 's right . i mean , my dad has done some questionable things , but deliberately trying to hurt his family ? this man conspired with helena cassadine to murder everyone on the haunted star last night . tracy : including us . lulu : not to mention his sister and his nephew . no way . my father would never do something like that . nathan : i 'm really sorry , but the evidence says he did . [ scene_break ] jake : elizabeth , i 'm surprised to see you . elizabeth : you 're surprised ? jake : look , i - i know this is confusing -- elizabeth : there i was at work , going along my business , and i hear you 've been arrested for aiding faison 's escape ? jake : [ sighs ] okay , um -- elizabeth : which means , when you told me you were out job hunting -- and i totally believed you -- you were lying to me , and sam was right all along . [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't stop thinking about how jake broke in here , and he was climbing up our stairs , almost came into the room . it 's just ... patrick : he could 've killed us both . sam : could 've ? he was supposed to . patrick : well , we do n't have to worry about that now . he 's locked up . you 're safe . sam : i know . i know , and , honestly , that 's not the only thing that i keep thinking about . i mean , yes , it 's very unsettling . he was sent here to shoot me . patrick : yeah , `` unsettling `` is one word for it . sam : but what i - i ca n't figure out -- or , i guess , what i ca n't let go of is what stopped him ? [ scene_break ] kiki : sonny 's being sent back to pentonville already ? morgan : yep . kiki : can they do that ? he almost drowned . morgan : yeah , well , guess the authorities do n't care , you know ? i got a call from dante this morning . he said that the cops were -- were there at the hospital with him . probably loading my dad in the transport vehicle as we speak . kiki : did you get to see him ? morgan : yeah . i was there when , you know , he woke up this morning . kiki : mm . how 'd he seem ? morgan : okay . kiki : must 've been nice for you to see him . morgan : yeah . especially after such a close call . you know , we all got a chance to tell him how much he means to us . kiki : who was there ? morgan : uh , my mom , shawn . i think dante stopped by before he was awake , and i think he came back after i left . kiki : was michael there ? morgan : no . he never showed . [ scene_break ] michael : sonny is serving a life sentence for murder . of course , he 's going back to prison . governor gatling : i 'm well aware of mr. corinthos ' crime and his sentence . but in this case , i believe an exception should be made . michael : why ? governor gatling : ever since my wife died , my daughter 's all i have . she 's the most precious thing in the world to me . and she would n't be standing here if it was n't for you . which is why i 've decided to exercise my authority and issue mr. corinthos a full pardon . michael : you ca n't do this . governor gatling : on the contrary , as the governor of this great state , i have the power to pardon any convicted criminal . michael : and you 're gon na use it on his behalf ? governor gatling : in light of his heroics on the haunted star last night , i 've deemed him more than worthy . michael : okay , yeah , you know , he saved your daughter last night , but this man , this `` hero , `` he also murdered my father . governor gatling : i 'm very sorry about that . but i stand by my decision to issue -- michael : i do n't want your apology ! i want sonny behind bars where he belongs . he 's barely made a dent in his sentence , and to release him is crazy , let alone irresponsible . sonny : he 's right , governor . michael : do n't -- do n't sit there and pretend to be all noble . you want out so bad you can taste it . sonny : i have n't served any time . not even close . i - i think you might want to reconsider . michael : yeah , i 'm sure you do . governor gatling : your objections are moot at this point . your release is already a done deal . [ scene_break ] morgan : it honestly blows my mind how michael 's been acting lately . kiki : he 's still angry . morgan : well , he needs to get over it , all right ? 'cause if it were n't for my dad , then michael would be dead right now . kiki : i ca n't think about any more deaths right now . morgan : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . kiki : it 's fine . morgan : no , it 's not fine , okay ? i - i have been just caught up in my own situation . i have n't even asked you about your mom . is there any news ? kiki : unfortunately , yes . [ scene_break ] patrick : so , what did he say ? i mean , wh - why did he stop ? in all the excitement , i actually forgot to ask you . what , did helena call off the order or whatever we 're calling it ? sam : oh , no . no , no , no , no , no . he had every intention of going through with it . i mean , the guy showed up with a gun . patrick : so , what happened ? sam : i do n't know . when i was asking him , it was just like he would have a memory , and then ... it 'd be right there , and he just could n't hold on to it . basically , he said he just could n't . i mean , he said some other things that were very confusing . patrick : you want to talk about it so we can be confused together ? sam : uh , when -- when i was asking him about that night when the phoenix was taken ... patrick : the one where you were in the shower ? sam : yeah . he remembers us walking in . patrick : oh . sam : yeah . patrick : so , wait . was he watching us ? sam : watching us have sex ? i do n't know . i mean , i ... kind of . patrick : kind of ? well , you 've succeeded . i 'm -- i 'm officially confused . sam : according to jake , he was not watching me with you . he was watching me with him . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : do you have any idea how this makes me feel ? try betrayed , hurt . i feel like an idiot . i defended you , jake , to everyone . jake : i know . elizabeth : to anyone who would listen . especially sam . i swore up and down that the jake i know would never do these things . and then i find out that you not only took her hostage in front of the pd , you -- you planted a bomb on the haunted star ? ! jake : yes , i did . elizabeth : you could 've killed so many people ! that 's it ? you 're not gon na say anything ? you -- you do n't think you owe me more than silence ? jake : you 're owed everything , elizabeth . you took me in when i had nowhere else to go . elizabeth : i 'm not talking about that . i trusted you . i believed to my core that you were a good guy , and you let me . jake : i 'm sorry . elizabeth : no , that 's -- it 's -- that 's not enough . i - i want an explanation . now . [ scene_break ] tracy : i do n't mean to keep going around in circles , but if you would humor me for a minute , please ? nathan : i 'll do my best . tracy : okay , so , if the man that we thought was n't luke is luke , then these bones belong to bill eckert , right ? nathan : well , that 's the theory . but like i was discussing with my mother , we wo n't know who the bones belong to until further testing 's done . lulu : yeah , but eckert 's body is missing from his grave , and these remains are the same age . nathan : yeah . tracy : which means that luke has been hanging out in his childhood home with his dead cousin 's corpse . disgusting . lulu : do you think all of this could have something to do with bill owning the house ? tracy : i do n't have answers to a lot of questions . but i know someone who does . lulu : who ? [ scene_break ] jake : i do n't think you 're gon na like it , but it 's the only explanation i 've got . elizabeth : just tell me the truth . jake : helena cassadine . [ scene_break ] helena : while i 'm glad that you had someone to keep you company during all those hours in that miserable basement , i 'm afraid it is my business . now , in case you have n't noticed , we 're in these cells , stuck here , together . luke : that we are . helena : and in need of a means of escape . luke : well , that 's a brilliant observation . wait , you think i have the answer ? helena : well , you managed to -- to pull the wool over everyone 's eyes , including your own family . that 's no small feat in my book . luke : or mine . helena : so , perhaps you could take a moment from your self - congratulation and tell me how the hell we 're getting out of here . [ scene_break ] spencer : does that mean great - grandmother 's in jail ? nikolas : she is . the police came and got her last night while you were asleep . spencer : was it uncle dante who arrested her ? nikolas : no . it was nathan . spencer : are you mad at him ? nikolas : no . he was just doing his duty . spencer : what did great - grandmother do ? nikolas : she hurt a lot of people , including your aunt lulu . [ scene_break ] tracy : it does n't add up . luke conspiring with helen cassadine ? lulu : definitely not . tracy : unless ... helena did one of her numbers on luke . lulu : you mean like she did to lucky ? nathan : and what did helena do to lucky ? lulu : back in the day , helena used mind control to make my brother do whatever she wanted . nathan : mind control ? lulu : brainwashing , mental conditioning , whatever you want to call it . she messed with my brother 's head . nathan : and you think that 's what 's going on with luke ? tracy : it 's the only logical explanation now that we know that luke is not an imposter . lulu : yeah , we need to find out what 's going on with my dad . tracy : i am open to any and all suggestions . lulu : well , i only have one . we have to go straight to the source . [ scene_break ] luke : i have to say , having the police commissioner in your pocket has done absolutely nothing for us . helena : no , but as you pointed out , we ca n't force him to release us without exposing him as a cassadine ally . luke : so , what ? you 're looking to me for an escape route ? helena : well , i simply thought it would be nice if you pulled your own weight for once . luke : pulled my weight ? ! i 've been dragging incompetent morons behind me for over a year ! helena : fortunately , we are not entirely out of options . luke : oh , no . no . do n't even think about your toy soldier . he 's been completely useless since he busted faison out of these cells . and from what i hear , jake is in the same leaky rowboat that we are . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : helena cassadine ? jake : i know it sounds crazy . no . no , actually , it does n't . when terrible things happen , helena is usually close by . and she and faison have been allies for years . so , what , did she hire you to help faison escape ? jake : no , she did n't hire me . elizabeth : if you 're one of her henchmen , why do n't you just admit it ? [ sighs ] oh , my god . thanksgiving , when she came to my house , you pretended not to know her . that 's just another one of your lies ? ! jake : i did n't know her . i - i .... at least , i was n't aware that i knew her . elizabeth : what the hell does that even mean ? jake : it took me a long time to figure it out . actually , sam helped me . but it 's -- it 's -- it -- elizabeth : sam ? ! jake : that 's a long -- elizabeth : sam helped you ? jake : long story . bottom line , every time i told you that i was innocent , i actually believed it . elizabeth : how is it possible for you to have done all that damage and not even know it ? jake : helena was controlling me . [ scene_break ] patrick : okay , you 're gon na have to walk me through this . so , jake said that he -- he pictured himself in bed with you . sam : no , not exactly . patrick : then what , exactly ? sam : [ sighs ] like i said , he -- he told me that he was n't really sure . i mean , he had a memory and a flash , and then he could n't hold on to it . patrick : so that 's why he did n't follow through with it ? because why ? because he 's , what , attracted to you ? sam : oh , i do n't know . i do n't get that vibe from him . patrick : then what else could it be ? sam : i do n't know . but apparently , jake remembering being with me was n't the only thing that he pictured when he came up here . he also got another flash . patrick : of what ? sam : me giving him this . [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , okay , i - i - i look at all the things that ava 's been through already . she could have very easily swam to shore , found help somewhere . kiki : the commissioner does n't think it 's possible that she survived . and , to be honest , i 'm not sure that it 's possible , either . morgan : hey . i 'm sorry , okay ? i should 've been there . kiki : no , no . um , silas was here . he just -- he would have stayed , but he had a patient emergency . morgan : well , i mean , at least you were n't alone . kiki : yeah , i do n't -- i do n't know what i would have done without him . you know , i mean , to find out that ... that your mom is , um ... [ voice breaking ] yeah , that she 's -- that she 's gone ... morgan : hey . kiki : [ sobs ] morgan : hey . kiki : my mom is gone . [ scene_break ] michael : what is that ? governor gatling : the official order . i drafted it personally this morning . while i 'm most grateful that you saved my daughter 's life , my first concern must always be my constituents . michael : yeah , i can see we 're on the top of your list . governor gatling : and you saved a whole boatload of them last night . on behalf of them and their families , i thank you . michael : all right , so , what you 're saying is those people 's lives are more important than my father 's . carly : michael , you 're one of those people . governor gatling : i understand your frustration . michael : do you ? governor gatling : but my job is to consider what will do the most good for the most people . not only did mr. corinthos save the life of every person on that boat last night , he is a boon to the port charles economy , as well , a respected business man . michael : a respected -- he 's a mobster ! governor gatling : i 'm sure you 're aware those are only rumors . mr. corinthos has never been convicted of a crime . michael : except murder . the decision is final . i believe it would be in your best interest to accept it . governor gatling : sweetheart , since you 've spoken so highly of the metro court , why do n't we go there for lunch ? ivy : sounds great . governor gatling : okay . thank you again . [ elevator dings ] sonny : michael , just -- can you listen ? michael : how the hell did you pull this off ? so , are all those contributions to the governor 's office over the years finally paying off ? couple well - timed donations to the governor 's campaign ? carly : michael , stop it . michael : or maybe you went the old -- the old tried - and - true way and hired your muscle here to threaten him . shawn : no one threatened the governor , michael . sonny : no one expected this , michael . i was as surprised as you are . michael : surprised , maybe . disgusted , not so much . michael : do n't defend him to me ! carly : he did n't know anything about it , michael . you heard sonny argue with the governor . he tried to convince him not to give him the pardon . michael : nobody said sonny was stupid . he had to make it look convincing . luckily for you , the governor 's daughter was on the boat . so it gave the governor the perfect excuse to put the deal in motion . sonny : there was no deal , michael . michael : i 'm not naive ! i know how you work . you probably had this whole pardon worked out before you even plead guilty . tell me , was that whole , uh , prison break staged as well ? sonny : i br -- [ scoffs ] i broke out of prison for the same reason that i ran to that boat and grabbed that bomb out of your hands , and it was to save your life . michael : right , now you 're everybody 's hero and everybody 's thankful . what about my father ? carly : sonny is your father , and you remembered that last night when he saved your life . look at me . do n't let your anger get the best of you . we can get through this , michael . michael : you know , you barely served three months of a life sentence and , what , all 's forgiven ? all that time you took from aj and , what , it 's just water under the bridge ? and i 'm just supposed to accept this is justice ? well , you know what , i do n't . you are not gon na get away with this . [ scene_break ] nathan : i 'm not trying to tell you what to do . i 'm just saying that i do n't think that visiting luke is the best idea right now . he and helena have already done a number on your family . lulu : what more can they do to me from behind bars ? nathan : well , for starters , they could continue to manipulate you . lulu : he 's my father , nathan . i can handle whatever he has to dish out . seriously . i 'm a spencer for god 's sake . nathan : i know that , but you are also my partner 's wife , and i would feel incredibly guilty if i just let you wal -- lulu : i 'm sorry , did you just say let me ? nathan : i -- okay . i would n't presume to think that i even could . i 'm just saying , would you at least consider talking to dante about it first ? i mean , with everything that 's happened to him , and almost to you , he deserves to be kept in the loop . lulu : fine . i will talk to dante . nathan : thank you . lulu : only to tell him what 's going on . not to ask for permission . nathan : works for me . tracy : okay , so , it 's decided . you 're gon na go talk to your husband . lulu : wait , you 're not coming with me ? tracy : no . the only place i 'm going is right to that jailhouse . [ scene_break ] sam : for whatever reason , jake was fixated on the phoenix . why else would he have taken it ? patrick : i highly doubt that was part of helena 's orders . sam : well , he said that he did n't steal it . patrick : oh , really ? sam : yeah , he said that i had given it to him . patrick : [ laughs ] that 's ridiculous . sam : and then he remembered that i did n't . it 's just all so strange . he comes here to kill me , and he winds up with the phoenix . the phoenix did n't mean anything to jake . it only meant something to jason . [ scene_break ] jake : i did n't believe it at first , either . but it 's true . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jake : elizabeth , somehow helena was able to condition me . i had to take her orders . elizabeth : and you had no recollection ? jake : no . no , i did n't . not at first . then i started getting these flickers of memory . they were unrecognizable at first , but then , you know , they started to make sense . they did n't make sense , but i could place myself in them . elizabeth : you saw yourself planting the bomb ? jake : yep . sam was with me , and i told her to call somebody who was on that boat , anybody . just the thought of someone getting hurt because of what i 've done , it ... look , i really need you to believe me . elizabeth : i do . [ scene_break ] luke : i hear from our friendly neighborhood guard that jake not only confessed to planting the bomb on the haunted star , he also told all the intended targets where to find it . helena : well , i may have underestimated his will . luke : gee , ya think ? you have overestimated him from day one . helena : you think you could do better ? luke : no question . helena : by all means , next time , the honor is yours . luke : you know , you yammer on and on and on and on about how the cassadines are all about family . well , where 's your family when it 's time to bail you out ? since your goons held your grandson against his will , [ door buzzes ] luke : i do n't expect we 're gon na see him anytime soon . helena : will you leave my family out of this ? well , i do n't see your loved ones making any kind of an appearance . tracy : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] lulu : dante ! oh , thank god i caught you . no , e - everything 's fine . i 'm fine . you are not going to believe what i just found out about my dad . [ scene_break ] spencer : why would great - grandmother want to hurt aunt lulu ? she 's a part of our family . nikolas : i know . but , see , lulu 's my half - sister , okay ? we have the same mother , but different fathers . spencer : well , of course , you do . i know all that . nikolas : yeah , well , what it means is that , while lulu is part of our family , she 's not part of helena 's . spencer : well , great - grandmother knows we love aunt lulu . why would she try to hurt someone we love ? nikolas : because helena has different standards than we do . all the people that we care about , all the things that make us happy , they do n't matter to her . helena does what she wants no matter who gets hurt . [ scene_break ] luke : spanky . how kind of you to drop by . i assume this means you 're ready to face the truth ? tracy : the prints were a match . this disaster standing in front of me is somehow luke spencer . luke : `` disaster `` ? that 's a little harsh . tracy : which can only mean that you are using the same mind - warping technique on luke that you used on lucky . you 're controlling him . luke : uh , spanky , do n't add -- tracy : enough out of you . it 's my turn to talk . i do n't know where you think you 're going with this , but it 's finished . whatever you did to luke , you undo it . now . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i told you about all the terrible things helena did to my family , especially my ex - husband lucky ? it 's very similar to what you 're talking about . jake : mind control or whatever this is ? elizabeth : yes . yes . jake : did he ever break free from it ? elizabeth : he did . i - it was n't easy , but he did . helena is -- she 's more than capable of doing what you 're accusing her of . jake : i ca n't tell you what it means that you believe me . really . elizabeth : but what ? how are we gon na prove this ? [ scene_break ] patrick : it sounds like the only person that actually knows why jake did what he did is helena , since she 's the one calling the shots . and i do n't know about you , but i do not want to try and figure that woman out . sam : oh , whoa , scary thought , huh ? patrick : extremely . sam : i just -- i wish it all made sense , but it does n't . why jake ? where did she find him ? how long has she been working her voodoo on him ? patrick : i do n't know . and i would like to know the answer to that , too , and hopefully one day we will . but the most important thing is that helena and jake -- they 're locked up . sam : yes . patrick : they 're gone . sam : bye - bye . patrick : we 're safe , okay ? sam : mm - hmm . patrick : a - and i have an idea how we can celebrate that . sam : you do ? patrick : yes . sam : really ? patrick : mm - hmm . sam : well , i have , um , balloons and noisemakers downstairs , if that helps . patrick : well , it 's not exactly what i had in mind . sam : no ? patrick : although there may be some noise if i play my cards right . sam : really ? patrick : mm - hmm . sam : what exactly did you have in mind ? patrick : [ sighs ] i could explain it to you . sam : try . patrick : but i think it would probably be easier just to show you .

[ scene_break ] paul : so that 's the reason for this late - night visit . you wanted to confess your sins . anna : oh , no , nothing quite so liturgical . no , i agreed to give you my full cooperation . and i think that it 's time that i make good on that . i was n't visiting robin in berkeley . i was in a jail cell in halifax , nova scotia . paul : california sounds more inviting , especially in february . anna : oh , god , yes . absolutely . it was bitterly cold in halifax and vastly disappointing . paul : so , how did you wind up in a jail cell ? anna : i was searching for carlos , trying to prove that he was alive . i failed . [ scene_break ] sam : yeah , i went over to your house to talk to you about jake . i ran into franco at the hospital , and he implied that jake was having some problems . elizabeth : yeah , franco noticed it before i did . sam : yeah . i got to your house and jake answered the door and he had , um , a cut on his -- on his finger . and , um , he told me the babysitter was upstairs . and i asked him how he got the cut , and he said someone had thrown , uh , a rock through the window , and he cut it on some glass . and i checked the window out and there was -- there was no glass on the floor , so ... jason : that 's because jake did it . sam : yeah . i told him everything was gon na be okay . we would just talk to the two of you . and -- and i think he just kind of panicked . and he ran down to the basement , and i went after him , and i was looking for him . and i lost my balance , and i fell down the stairs . elizabeth : so he did n't -- he did n't push you ? sam : no , elizabeth , he was n't even near the stairs . he was already in the -- i fell on accident . jason : he thought he did . that 's why he ran away . sam : wait , you -- you said he got hit by a car ? jason : yeah , but he 's gon na be fine . he 's gon na be fine . the surgery was a success . and as bad as it was , it could have been a whole lot worse . sam : yeah , for all of us . if you had n't found me when you did , i ... jason : people kept telling me to trust my instincts . i 'm glad i finally did . sam : yeah , me , too . [ coughing ] hey . hey , hey , hey , you okay ? sam : yeah , i 'm fine . i am so sorry about your house . elizabeth : it 's no one 's fault . like jason said , it could have been a lot worse . jason : the most important thing is everybody 's okay , so ... elizabeth : i 'm gon na leave the two of you alone . uh , thank you for not blaming jake . [ door closes ] jason : why do n't you try and get some rest ? sam : yeah , i would , but i just do n't want to close my eyes ... because when i was in that basement , every time i closed my eyes , you would disappear . and i just ... i do n't want you to disappear again . jason : well ... i 'm not going anywhere . elizabeth : [ crying ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nathan : i know you wanted us to have separate apartments , you know , so we could take our time , get to know each other -- maxie : which does n't really even make sense , because we spend almost every night together , either at kelly 's , which i 'm not super crazy about because the shower 's down the hall , or we 're here , which i love . but i would love it even more if you were here permanently . nathan : so you 're -- you 're good with us living together ? maxie : better than good . totally for it . wildly enthusiastic . and honestly kind of mystified why we have n't made it official before now . except ... nathan : what , you change your mind already ? maxie : no , no . not about living with you . it 's just , if we 're gon na do this -- live together -- i think we should find a place of our own , where the only history is what we 've made for ourselves . nathan : so , how soon do we get to look ? maxie : right now . i 'm gon na get online . actually , no , i 'm not . nathan : you 're not ? we wo n't ? maxie : no . um , i ca n't bail on lulu . she 's not ready to find a place of her own yet , nathan . and i do n't blame her for not wanting to live at wyndemere . i mean , who wants to take a launch across the harbor every time they leave the house . besides , this used to be her apartment , too , so it was kind of like coming home for her . nathan : so , we 're gon na wait to move in together until lulu gets her life back on track ? maxie : okay , uh , ordinarily , i would say we should start looking right now , so if the perfect apartment comes along , we could just pounce on it , but we ca n't do any pouncing while lulu still needs roommates . so we should just avoid temptation . do n't you think ? nathan : [ speaks french ] maxie : is that french for `` whatever i want , as long as you 're with me ? `` nathan : something like that . maxie : i love it when you 're agreeable . and i love it even more when you 're agreeable in french . nathan : hm . maxie : this is gon na be great . we 're gon na be helping out our friend , and we 're gon na be living together . lulu : maxie , are you finally opening that bottle of ... wine that the jewelry designer sent nina ? sorry . nathan : hi . maxie : yes . uh , here . a toast , as nathan and i begin the next phase of our relationship . we 're moving in together . [ lulu drops her glass on the floor ] [ scene_break ] julian : so , was corinthos right ? are you running guns for raj ? ava : you made it clear that you do n't want to know any details about the business , now that you have such a shiny , bright new life . julian : all right . let me put it this way . are you having second thoughts about running the jerome organization ? ava : i just worry about my little girl , you know ? both her parents are involved in dangerous things that could jeopardize her future , and it just is n't fair to her . julian : all right , ava , stop dancing around . how much trouble are you in ? [ scene_break ] anna : carlos is dead . i know that better than anyone . i simply do n't want to believe the truth . i suppose that 's some kind of denial . it 's easier for me to convince myself that there was a cover - up , a mystery to be solved . i even persuaded robert to follow these nonexistent clues all the way to halifax , nova scotia . paul : why there ? anna : well , if you were carlos and you were alive and a fugitive , you would have to stay off the grid . so you would have to avoid any kind of public transportation , especially border crossings . so you would book a passage on a freighter . you 'd pay cash . and then you would literally sail into canada undetected . but you would n't go to a big town , no , because there 's a higher risk of being recognized . a former associate might relocate to toronto , but not halifax . that 's the back of beyond . that is a perfect jumping - off point for a clean getaway . paul : impressive . anna : and total fantasy . he did n't book a freighter to nova scotia . his body was cremated months ago . his death is a fact ... just as duke 's is . i mean , if i was going to drag robert on some pilgrimage of futility , why did n't i convince myself that duke was alive ? then i could have at least have been searching some of the places that were meaningful to him . i mean , it would n't have brought him back , but it ... it might have given me some solace . paul : you 're still in mourning . anna : oh , god , i will mourn duke forever . paul : i 'm sure you will . from what you said , he 's the love of your life . anna : without question . paul : with all due respect , you ca n't stop living . no one would want that for you . [ scene_break ] sam : i would have died in that basement if it were n't for you . thank you . jason : no . thank you . for believing in me when you did n't have a reason to . sam : [ chuckles ] jason . jason : no , i 'm serious . i spent way too much time being the guy who did n't remember our life together or loving you . i 'm not gon na waste a chance to get to know you . so i 'm gon na be better for you . then hopefully i can give you back some small part of what you 've given me . alexis : honey ? sam : mom . alexis : my baby . oh , my gosh . oh , here . i love you . sam : i love you . alexis : how do you feel ? sam : um , a lot better now , thank you . alexis : what happened ? sam : um ... it 's -- it 's complicated . uh , long story short , jason saved me . alexis : thank you . jason : i 'm just glad that she 's okay . i 'll let you all talk . alexis : j -- you probably do n't remember this , but i have n't been very supportive of your relationship with my daughter . i do n't feel that way anymore . she 's always had faith in you , and you 've just proven , once again , that her faith is justified . thank you . jason : thank you . [ clears throat ] alexis : do you want to strangle me ? sam : no ! no , i loved everything you said , and it happens to be true . mom ... i was lying in that basement , and somehow , i knew the whole time -- i knew that jason would find me . alexis : what happened , honey ? sam : okay , i do n't want you to overreact . alexis : just tell me . sam : just know that i 'm gon na be -- okay , um ... i fell down a flight of stairs , and i was trapped in elizabeth 's basement . and ... [ sighs ] the house exploded . alexis : why would i overreact to that ? [ scene_break ] monica : well , the doctors say jake is gon na sleep through the night , but i am gon na check on him periodically . jason : oh , thank you . i 'm gon na stay with sam , but if jake needs me -- monica : if he needs you , i will let you know . jason : thanks . monica : okay . [ scene_break ] ava : you know better than anybody how dangerous this business can be , how it wears on you . sometimes i just want to have a normal life . julian : so how would you , uh ... how would you define `` normal `` ? ava : well , something like you 're building here . you have work , a home , and family . you 're even marrying the person you love . now , how simple is that ? [ chuckles ] and how further out of reach ? julian : you know , um , you can have a life like this , but it requires sacrifice , ava . you have to get yourself out completely , make a clean break . ava : it 's easier said than done . julian : no , you quit or you stay in , ava . the choice is yours . ava : it 's not . [ scene_break ] anna : i 'm still trying to adjust to life without duke , trying to find purpose in my life , you know , and -- and reconcile myself to my regrets , which are many . paul : hey , you do n't have to be so hard on yourself . you 're moving forward despite your grief . i mean , you 're a hell of an investigator and a wonderful mother and grandmother . anna : am i ? my daughter was held captive for the second time in four years . and i did n't know . and emma has been deprived of her mother for years . and where was i ? you ca n't begin to understand what it 's like to have a child suffer and know that there was something that you could have done . you could have intervened , taken action , just done something . paul : uh , i know all too well what you 're talking about . these cufflinks are mine that i loaned to dillon just before christmas , which he returned to me , along with a few choice words about my failings as a parent . and he 's completely justified . tracy took dillon to europe when he was an infant , and i made no effort to maintain contact . and i see him as an adult , and ... and i 've wanted a relationship with him , but i put my ambitions ahead of that . and i alienated his mother . anna : well , i do n't know the details , but , uh , it 's widely known that tracy is easy to alienate . paul : for all of tracy 's shortcomings , she 's a very devoted mother . she put dillon first -- something i have not been able to do with any of my children . my youngest has jenny . and susan . anna : susan ? you never talk about your daughter . paul : suffice it to say , i have n't done any better for susan than i did for dillon . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : in a way , when you rescued sam , you saved our son , too . 'cause if she had died -- jason : she did n't . she did n't , so let 's -- elizabeth : because you instinctively knew she was in trouble . i 've seen the connection that you share with her . i 've watched it grow over the years . i do n't think it 's going away . [ scene_break ] alexis : all right , do me a favor and leave out the exploding part of the story when you tell this to your father , because it 's okay if i have a panic attack in retrospect . i 'd just like to spare him one if we can . sam : mom , i 'm fine , though . sam : yeah , i know , but he was there . he was there , like -- like he always is . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : thank you for being so good to jake , to all of us . jason : he 's my son . you do n't have to thank me . [ footsteps approach ] monica : i just checked in on jake . he is fast asleep . and may i suggest that the two of you get some sleep ? jason : uh , well , i 'm gon na stay at the hospital tonight . monica : well , elizabeth , if you need a place to stay , uh , you can stay at my house . you and the boys can stay as long as you like . elizabeth : thank you , monica , but the fire inspector called , and he wants me to come by the house . and after that , i 'm just gon na go to my grandmother 's . monica : well , if you need a place for long - term , the offer still stands . now i 'm going back to icu and check on jake . if there 's any change in his status , i will call you , but i do n't think you 'll hear from me tonight . jason : thank you . monica : get some sleep . jason : yeah , do n't worry about jake . i 'll , uh -- i 'll go up and check on him in a bit . elizabeth : sounds good . alexis : oh , excuse me . i - i do n't mean to interrupt , but , uh , sam would like to speak to you privately . elizabeth : okay . jason : are you all right ? alexis : i 'm much better than i would have been if you did n't manage to save my daughter . elizabeth : hi . sam : hey . elizabeth : you mom said you wanted to see me . [ scene_break ] lulu : i still ca n't believe i just did that . maxie : no harm done . lulu : no , i 'm just so happy for you guys , really . i am . it 's wonderful news . it just -- it surprised me , because i remember that feeling . when dante and i were first in love , first moved in together , it was all in front of us , and i - i miss that . i honestly do n't know how we got from that love that we felt to where we are now . it almost seems impossible that we could have made those mistakes and hurt each other so badly , but we did . and i 'm turning your celebration into my own personal pity party . maxie : no , you 're not . oh ! just kidding . lulu : [ laughs ] i 'm not . you 're right . i 'm not . the whining is officially over for tonight . this is great news . nathan is moving in . well , i mean , i assume you 're in , unless you and maxie are moving out . nathan : no , no , no , you were -- you were right the first time . maxie and i are staying here for the foreseeable future . lulu : are you okay with me and rocco as roommates ? nathan : yeah , i 'm kind of looking forward to it , actually . lulu : okay , rocco is gon na love this . he 's , like , obsessed with you .

[ jason sighs ] johnny : but i wanted him to bring down sonny , and i still do . jason : as of now , you are out ! nobody is gon na deal with you . the men have orders not to speak to you . but because you protected michael , sonny 's letting you walk away with your life . nothing else . johnny : you 're being more than fair with me . you 've defended me to sonny , you have saved my life on more than one occasion , and regardless of how you felt about my sister , you never held that against me . i 've enjoyed working with you , jason . and i feel like i at least owe you an explanation , so if you want to hear me ... jason : yeah , go ahead . johnny : i love olivia , so i would never give up her son . and even if olivia was not in the picture , i would have kept quiet because of claudia , to give my sister the justice that she deserves . now , claudia , i know , i get it . she made a lot of mistakes . she acted before she thought . she could be cruel and ruthless and she hurt a lot of people . i get it . but she was 100 % just in taking out that hit on sonny . she knew he was gon na come after me and kill me and then probably go after her . and i 'll guarantee you that if the situation were reversed , he would have done the same thing . except he would have taken out the hit and carried out the job and you never would have taken a shot with a kid in the room . [ sighs ] anyway , every choice that claudia made from that night on was about protecting herself . that 's how she lived , in a motive of constant self - preservation . she was always going after more than she knew she could handle . and that baby , jason , that baby . sonny knew claudia was n't over losing that baby . and he went after her . he did not have to humiliate her in front of that entire room of people , but he did . he deliberately pushed her over the edge . now , i know sonny did not swing that ax handle , but you 're damn right , he is responsible for my sister 's death . and that 's why he 's gon na pay . jason : i understand that you love your sister . and i understand that you want justice . but i 'm loyal to sonny . so if you have to come after him , i 'm gon na have to stop you . johnny : well , this could get interesting . [ scene_break ] maxie : at first , revenge seemed like the perfect answer . i mean , i thought the only thing that would save us would be for you to hurt me as much as i hurt you . spinelli : deliberate cruelty is not a solution to anything . maxie : spinelli , i do n't want you to sleep with someone else . i ca n't imagine how much that would hurt . but i could take it if i thought that 's what it would take to save our relationship . spinelli : after last night , why do you think our relationship needs saving ? maxie : because i do n't deserve a night like last night after what i 've done . spinelli : i was deeply hurt by your tryst with franco , but i wanted to give you the benefit of every doubt , to explain it away , to come up with a great reason why you made that choice . but i realize that was folly . then my own fears presented themselves , and i was certain that i was not enough for you , that i would never be enough for you . maxie : spinelli , no . if anyone is not worthy of this relationship , it 's me . it 's never you . spinelli : okay , but you made a choice that night and nothing i can do can ever change that , justify it , or even the score . the only choice i have is to forgive you or not . but i love you . and i want you in my life forever . and i genuinely believe that you are remorseful for what you did , so i forgive you . maxie : thank you . spinelli : simply put , i 'm over it . maxie : no , but , spinelli , i hurt you and i have to pay . spinelli : i agree . and i do need something in return . maxie : okay . name it . i will do anything . spinelli : let this go . okay ? no revenge sex , no listed exceptions , just forgive yourself as i have forgiven you . maxie : i 'll try . spinelli : no , do n't try . do it . please forgive yourself . maxie : okay . i 'm the luckiest girl in the whole world .

[ jason sighs ] kristina : he 's a thief . he terrorizes people into doing whatever he wants . how can you call him a good man ? jason : because at first the choices that your dad would make were all about survival and they would only affect him . i mean , you knew that sonny grew up poor . right ? so naturally , he wanted money . he was powerless , he wanted power . kristina : a lot of people want power , but they do n't go around shooting people . jason : you 're right . but you have to understand how sonny was raised . he was raised in constant fear . and i think a lot of decisions he makes now are based on that . kristina : you mean he 's afraid ? jason : no , i mean that he wants to make sure he 's never afraid again , so he always strikes first . and he always wants his children to be safe because he never felt safe as a kid . look , sonny knows that he 's made a lot of bad choices , and he 's paying for them . kristina : he was n't in a coma for a year . jason : he gladly would have been . for michael or for morgan or for you , for that matter . kristina : maybe you want to believe that , but i just do n't know if it 's true . jason : i know it 's true . but i ca n't tell you how to feel about your dad . you have to figure that out for yourself . but i 'm gon na tell you , all the mistakes that he 's made , he 'll never stop loving you . i mean , even if you want to cut him out of your life , he 's always gon na be there waiting for you .

a.j . : elizabeth , no . elizabeth : i can smell it on you . a.j . : you 're not understanding what i 'm telling you . nikolas : what 's going on here ? elizabeth , you all right ? elizabeth : yeah . he 's been drinking again , though . victor : i think , you know , we should go find your friends . spencer : okay . victor : okay . a.j . : listen to me . i know -- just wait . i know you have no reason to believe me . nikolas : time to leave , a.j . let 's go . a.j . : fine . fine . okay . you know what ? i 'll deal with this on my own , all right ? you 'll see . you 'll see . ava : you ca n't be serious . there is no way i can side with your family . morgan : why not ? you come work for my father with me . we all take julian down together . ava : morgan , he 's my brother . morgan : who you barely knew until a few years ago . he does n't respect you , ava . and he would turn on you in a second , and you know that . ava : he certainly has been more interested in winning over his new children than he has in his loyalty to me , especially recently . morgan : then to hell with him . ava : i ca n't . i ca n't . i ca n't betray him . morgan : ava , ava , ava , ava . please , please , do n't you get it ? if you help us bring him down , this war will be over . there will be nothing standing in the way of us being together . spencer : emma , hi ! emma : hi , spencer . victor : all right , spencer . you play with your friends . i 'm gon na be sitting over there on the bench . i 'm gon na have a read , okay ?

[ chuckles ] hey , elizabeth , can i ask you a quick question ? elizabeth : go for it . britt : nikolas ' uncle gave me this fabulous hairbrush for ben , and it 's a family heirloom , but it 's seemed to have disappeared . elizabeth : that 's sad . really should keep a closer eye on something that important . britt : the thing is , it seemed to have disappeared right after you dropped off that prescription for ben . elizabeth : are you accusing me of stealing a hairbrush ? britt : i 'm simply just asking if you know what happened to it . elizabeth : you know , sometimes things get misplaced . i remember the christmas before last i bought a dvd for cameron , and it vanished out of the gift bag . actually , you were there . but you did n't have anything to do with it , right ? molly : it 's so sad that jason never knew danny was his son before he died . robin : yeah . i knew jason . he knew that in his heart , danny was his son . the dna just would have been icing on the cake . that 's what i used to tell your dad . you know what that means ? you know what `` icing on the cake `` is ? it means better than the best . and that 's what your dad was to me . better than the best , just like he would have been to you . tj : i hate that this little guy is gon na grow up without a father . robin : i know . it 's terrible . tj : i mean , i got a few more years with my dad , but i was still pretty young when he died . robin : i 'm so sorry . tj : no , i mean , it 's just , never gets any easier , you know ? you always wonder , `` what if ? `` what if he was still alive ? how would things be different ? robin : yeah . what if ? victor : spencer , does this woman work for your father ? spencer : that 's her . victor : this woman , heather webber . spencer : yeah , she 's the stable girl . emma : stable person . we met her the other day . victor : all right , you stay here , children . i 'm gon na speak with your father , spencer , okay ? emma : why is your stable person in the paper ? franco : hey , kids . how you doing ? spencer : that 's the psycho ! franco : mind if i ask you a few questions about the woman that you saw ? heather : now seems like the perfect time -- carly : think about it , heather . the knife with franco 's prints and my blood on it was found weeks ago . it 's only gon na take a simple autopsy to show that i died long after the police found the knife . heather : okay . okay . let 's say franco did stab you then , but you survived . so he came back and finished the job today . carly : except the papers said franco was in custody . you kill me , you prove that he 's innocent . heather : oh ! damn it ! you are right . i had this all planned out . it was supposed to go so smoothly , and it would have , if it were n't for luke spencer and those meddling kids . franco : why are you so scared of me ? emma : it says here you 're a bad man . franco : oh . yeah , it kind of does . but if -- if you keep reading , it says that she 's a bad person , too , right ? elizabeth : i guess so . but she caught the chupacabra . franco : the chupacabra ? what , like the goat sucker ? emma : it was after the horses . cameron : at spencer 's house . we never saw it . that lady kept it covered up . spencer : but we heard it making noises . emma : it sounded like someone screaming . franco : she was at your house ? ! spencer : she works in my stables . but she 's not there anymore . my dad checked . franco : okay , do you have any idea where she is now ? spencer : she might be in the catacombs . we heard something last night . franco : oh , the -- the catacombs . of course . where is it exactly that you live ? cameron : there 's , like , caves underneath his house . emma : it 's on spoon island . franco : oh . wyndemere . thanks , kids . scott : hey ! take me to heather webber 's room . she ca n't be disturbed . strunk : she 's too violent to have visitors . scott : i 'm not a visitor . district attorney . take me to her now . ava : if julian ever game a damn about me , that all changed when he discovered his long - lost offspring . besides , he 's reckless ... and unreliable . he 's already made mistakes , and he 'll make more . when the dust settles , sonny will be the one standing , and the smart thing is to be standing right next to him .

nathan : heather webber could have killed my sister if franco had n't shown up when he did . all i wanted was for nina to get away from this guy , and now he saved her life ? maxie : you can still despise someone and be grateful for , like , the one nice thing that they 've done . like sonny saving all of us on the haunted star from luke . how weird was that ? nathan : i do n't know , but i wish there was some kind of mistake , but fingerprints do n't lie , max . the guy we have in custody is luke spencer . maxie : and he definitely attacked dante ? nathan : yeah , and left him for dead with another bomb in that basement . maxie : lulu must be going out of her mind . i just wish there was something i could do for her . nathan : the only thing we can do is to make sure that everyone who aided and abetted luke spencer is brought to justice , and that includes carlos rivera and johnny zacchara . [ scene_break ] sabrina : here , take these . johnny : hmm . carlos : felix is n't gon na mind you using all his antibiotics ? sabrina : i 'll worry about that when felix gets back from visiting with his family . johnny : thank you . sabrina : all right .

[ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] julian : [ sighs ] you 're back . alexis : i am . julian : hmm . alexis : how are you feeling ? julian : better when i see you . of course , you probably do n't want to hear that . alexis : well , i do n't have good news . i 'm not sure if you heard . julian : heard what ? alexis : i 'm really sorry . they called off the search for your sister . julian : they 've given ava up for dead ? [ scene_break ] morgan : dad ? what are you doing here ? sonny : i 'm here to see my daughter . morgan : um ... i - i - i do n't understand . i thought -- i thought they were sending you back to pentonville as soon as you left the hospital . carly : um , it 's -- it 's complicated and totally unexpected . sonny : i 've been pardoned . [ scene_break ] olivia : michael . you look ... are you all right ? michael : actually , right now , i 'm as far from all right as humanly possible . olivia : yeah , i just heard about sonny 's pardon . michael : yeah , he got away with murder . olivia : i know that this must be very hard for you right now , but sonny did a very brave thing . michael : brave thing ? shooting an unarmed man at point - blank range is not brave . olivia : you 're right . he did . he did do that . he also saved a lot of people , yourself included , on the haunted star . michael : and what if it -- what if it was ava who was pardoned after what she did to connie ? she -- she might be dead now . maybe that gives you some closure . but sonny gets to go back to his life like nothing ever happened . why is it that some people never pay for the bad things they do ? [ scene_break ] doctor : ms. clay . you 're not supposed to be here . nina : um ... franco is my friend . i just ... he saved my life . i just want to see him . doctor : sorry . there 's nothing to see . the man you knew -- there may be nothing left of him in there . nina : there must be something you can do for franco . he 's only like this because his -- his mother tried to attack me . he ... ohh . his mother injected him with an overdose of lsd . doctor : yes . an extremely high dose . nina : yeah , an extremely high -- is it normal that a mental patient can just get an extremely high dose of lsd here ? is n't this a secure facility ? does your staff just give out dangerous drugs to their patients ? doctor : we are conducting a thorough investigation . nina : yeah , i bet . meantime ... just -- lsd has been around since the ' 60s . i 'm sure you have a procedure that could fix him . doctor : predicting the outcome of an overdose of that magnitude is not an exact science . it affects the mind differently with each case . an lsd overdose caused heather webber to lose all sense of morality . one woman even claimed she started getting psychic visions . nina : he 'll recover . i mean , franco can recover , right ? doctor : most people ... they just fry their brains . they 're an empty shell . [ scene_break ] maxie : [ grunts ] i do n't know what to tell you . the johnny that i knew was not a monster . i mean , yeah , he did dangerous stuff , but none of it was ever malicious . it 's like i tried to explain to you . he does the wrong things for the right reasons . nathan : yeah , i get that , max , but i do n't think , sadly , that that is a defense that will hold up in court . maxie : okay , well , maybe there 's more to the story because all you have to go on right now is sonny and julian 's word . and as much as i like sonny , he 's a mobster , and they 're not exactly known for their truthfulness to the police . julian 's a mobster , too , so maybe there 's more to the story . maybe johnny has an explanation . nathan : maxie , i - i get that you want to see the best in your old friend , all right , but [ sighs ] we 're not gon na be able to get any answers either way until we find him and carlos rivera . maxie : well , do you have any leads ? nathan : well , i 'm hoping that wherever they are , they 're holed up together . i have to go interview rivera 's date from the haunted star -- sabrina santiago . [ scene_break ] johnny : do n't tell me you 're reconsidering hiding us . is that what -- carlos : no , no , she 's not saying that . you 're not saying that , right , mi bella ? sabrina : look , i nearly crossed a very big line when it came to ava . my moral compass was gone for months after gabriel died . and thank god i found it in time and ava 's baby was n't hurt . and now i have you here telling me that you shot this woman . johnny : hey , it 's not like ava was some innocent bystander here . from what i understand , she threatened you and your kid , right ? she forced carlos to confess to a murder he did n't commit , and she knocked off my ex - wife , not that we left things on good terms . she despised me , and i could n't stand the sight of her . that 's beside the point . connie did n't do a damn thing to ava . she was innocent , and ava killed her . sabrina : okay , but it was n't my job to judge ava , and it 's not yours , either . johnny : slow down , kiddo . i 'm not defending carlos or myself . it 's a very dirty business we 're involved in . ava knew that when she got involved . she knew the rules -- the rules being winner takes all , loser dies . carlos was just playing by the rules . sabrina : look , i 'm just trying to justify all of this by saying that there 's still a chance that ava 's alive and that she somehow survived the fall off that bridge because right now all i can think about is how much i 've already hurt this woman . [ scene_break ] morgan : pardoned ? sonny : i 'm free . morgan : but i -- how ? carly : turns out one of the guests on the haunted star was the governor 's daughter , and he was so grateful , he gave sonny a full pardon . kiki : great . and this just happened ? carly : yes . yeah , we were at the hospital and the guards were set to take sonny back to pentonville and then ivy -- that 's the governor 's daughter -- and governor gatling showed up and -- i mean , we had no idea that this was going on . he -- he said he was so grateful to sonny , he gave him the pardon , and he had some paperwork to back it up . morgan : um , so , that 's it ? you 're a free man ? sonny : for better or worse . morgan : no . better . definitely , dad . sonny : [ chuckles ] carly : okay , well , you know , it 's , um , not that simple . you know , i mean , we 're so grateful , but , um ... sonny : i still got to live with what i done to michael . [ scene_break ] olivia : i sympathize with the pain of seeing a loved one 's killer go free . you know that i do . michael : look , i - i do n't mean to minimize what happened to connie , okay , but it 's not the same thing . ava was in prison pending trial , and now she may very well be dead . olivia : i 'm not talking about ava here . for a year after connie was shot , i thought that aj was the one that did it . and i had to watch him walk in the streets free , here in the hospital , eating lunch at kelly 's . michael : yeah , but aj did n't shoot connie . olivia : no , i know , i know , i know that he tuned out to be innocent . but for months , i had to cope with the thought that my cousin 's killer was out walking the streets , having a great time while my cousin was dead in the ground . and it took me a little while . but eventually , i just had to accept that that was gon na be the reality . and i could n't let my grief and my rage control my actions because if i did , then my life would have been over , too . michael : i 'm sorry , olivia . i do n't have it in me to do what you did -- turn the other cheek . i - i ca n't .

[ scene_break ] olivia : spying on your girlfriend , huh ? that sounds healthy . ned : i do n't know why i said that . i apologize . it 's got to be the medicine talking because i know you do n't want to hear about this 'cause you made that very clear that we do n't have that kind of relationship and that you really do n't want to talk about any of this because we 're not friends . so , i 'm gon na go now . goodbye . i 'm sorry . olivia : ned , ned . ned . ned , wait . ned . wait , wait . just ... [ sighs ] um , okay , you -- you may or may not have noticed something about me in the last few months . i - i have the tendency to sometimes shoot my mouth off big time . ned : you ? olivia : yeah , no , it 's really -- it 's true . you can call it a falconeri thing or -- or a bensonhurst trait or whatever you want to call it , i frequently say things that i do not mean , especially when i 'm upset . and when i said that i did n't want to be your friend , ned , nothing could be further from the truth . i had so much fun hanging out with you last year . and -- and i miss that . i miss my friend . ned : i miss my friend , too . olivia : so , if you need someone to go all `` scarecrow and mrs. king `` with you , i 'm your girl . [ chuckles ] so , why are you spying on alexis ? ned : because she ca n't seem to stay away from her ex . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm sorry to track you down like this , but it ca n't wait . the governor has completely abused his power . i - i - i need you to file a motion to overturn this pardon . i want sonny to spend the rest of his life in prison . alexis : i can see , michael , that you 're angry and you 're frustrated , and i know to you it seems like a terrible injustice , but issuing a pardon is a prerogative of a sitting governor , and short of proving collusion , there is nothing i can do to overturn it . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're -- you 're not gon na let me hold my baby ? morgan : dad , um [ clears throat ] maybe we should , you know , try back another time . kiki : no , morgan . right now is the perfect time to talk about it . morgan : kiki , please . kiki : did you know that they called off the search for my mother ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : they called off the search for ava jerome ? nathan : no sign of her body in the water . and a fall from that height after being shot ? pd 's officially ready to declare her deceased . they 're also ready to level murder charges against carlos . have you , uh -- have you had any contact with mr. rivera or johnny zacchara ? [ scene_break ] kiki : commissioner sloane pretty much told me that my mother is dead . morgan : but they did n't find her . she could still be alive . kiki : but they called off the search because they said it would be a waste of their time and money , as if she was some sort of city project . but she was n't . she was my mother . and she was all i had growing up . and now my little sister , avery , will never know her . carly : i 'm so sorry , kiki . sonny : whatever it 's worth , so am i . kiki : oh , are you ? well , i heard what my uncle julian told the cops about my mom hanging there off of the bridge before she fell , and how you supposedly did everything you could to save her . carly : it 's true . kiki : well , i want to hear it from him . before i even think about letting you hold my sister , you need to look me in the eyes and tell me that you really did do everything you could . you were planning on murdering her for months , and now i 'm supposed to believe that you did everything in your power to save her ? sonny : i swear on my life , on that little girl 's life , that i did everything i could to save ava . your moth -- what happened to your mother was tragic , but it was n't at my hand . kiki : [ sighs ] okay . sonny : i do n't blame you , kiki . if i was in your position , i 'd do the same thing . but we 're gon na have to learn to trust each other , because we got something in common , which is that little girl . look , i 'm just asking . it would mean a lot to me if i could just hold -- hold my -- my daughter .

[ scene_break ] ned : the news came on , and there was a report about julian being shot . i could tell that she was upset , so i told her , `` just go to the hospital and check on him . `` olivia : mm - hmm . ned : i barely got the words out , and she was out the door . olivia : well , you did offer . ned : of course . she was upset . anyway , even though i was n't thrilled that she rushed to his side , i understood . and now she , uh , canceled lunch at the last minute . olivia : and let me guess . you think that she 's with julian , right ? ned : i would bet my elq shares on it . [ scene_break ] michael : are you kidding me ? that 's it ? nothing can be done ? alexis : we might be able to file a civil suit and make a case for wrongful death . michael : i do n't want money . i want justice . i want that son of a bitch to pay ! julian : you know what ? if you ask me , the only son of a bitch that i can see right now is standing right here in this room .

[ scene_break ] sonny : she looks just like part of my family . look at her big , big eyes . carly : oh . and , you know , she has dimples . kiki : [ chuckles ] she has my mother 's nose . sonny : you know , hey , i know you 've been through so much as a little girl , but you do n't got to worry about that anymore . you know ? you know why you do n't have to worry ? because i 'm here . your daddy 's here . our families have n't always gotten along , but you know what ? i know you miss your mommy . but guess what . now that i 'm here , i 'm not gon na let anything happen to you . you understand me ? okay ? you 're a part of the family . and i would die before i let anything happen to you . you get it ? that 's right ! carly : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] michael : excuse me ? julian : [ chuckles ] you know , this is probably none of my business , michael , but you sound like an ungrateful bastard . alexis : okay , you know what ? this is not a good time . michael : no , no , no , if you have something to say , go ahead , say it . julian : [ sighs ] i was in prison with sonny for a while . now , i do n't like the guy . hell , i might even hate the man . but the one thing that we had in common was our devotion to our sons . michael : right , you 're both model fathers . julian : you know what the only thing he could talk about in prison was making sure you were safe . yeah , we both knew that you and lucas were being targeted , so we busted out of prison . we risked our lives . we risked extending our sentences just to make sure that you were both safe . so , you know , maybe i 'm the lucky one , because my son appreciated everything i did for him . guess you ca n't extend corinthos the same courtesy , huh ? michael : i 'm not sure lucas would feel the same way about you if he knew you signed off on a hit against me . i 'm not sure he 'd be all forgiving if his situation was remotely similar to mine . tony jones died nine years ago today in a hospital bed , not from a bullet that you fired at him when he was standing in front of you defenseless . but we can agree on one thing . that 's none of your damn business . [ scene_break ] olivia : well , given , uh , recent , totally mortifying events , i am not really in a position to judge alexis . ned : [ sighs ] you and julian . i have to admit that was a surprise . olivia : yes , a surprise that is never , ever again gon na be repeated , despite his considerable charms . ned : it 's those charms i 'm worried about . olivia : well , you should n't , ned , because alexis chose you . and she chose you because -- because you 're a great guy . and i can not believe that i 'm gon na say this , but i think you have to trust alexis unless she gives you a real reason not to . ned : thanks . i need to hear that . it 's good to have my friend back . olivia : back at you . now , go , go , go . see a doctor about that flu . ned : only if you do the same . because , i hate to say it , you 're not looking so hot , either . olivia : ouch . ned : what -- what are friends for ? olivia : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] carlos : i 'll -- i 'll make a full confession . sabrina had nothing to do with this . you tell them , sabrina . you tell them how i forced you . nathan : just a second . we 'll need to take your statement at some point , but it does n't have to be tonight . sabrina : thank you . nathan : take him .

hayden : the thing is , elizabeth , um ... the hospital -- financially , it 's just , um ... tracy : oh , for pete 's sake ! elizabeth webber , you 're fired ! how simple is that ? hayden : simple for you , maybe . tracy : yeah , well , practice makes perfect , and you better practice , because you make your debut tonight . 30 % of the nursing staff has to go for this hospital to survive . [ scene_break ] epiphany : i dare hayden to come for me . by the time i 'm through with her , she 'll be begging for more nurses . elizabeth : look , i know we 're all angry , but let 's cool it with the violence . nurse : exactly . this is not the time to exaggerate . we need to be serious . epiphany : i am not exaggerating . i am serious . amy : when they say they 're cutting 30 % of the staff , does that mean they 're also cutting 30 % of the doctors ? because they 're the ones making all the money . bobbie : yeah , but , you know , they 're also the ones charging the most money , so ... amy : and we 're the ones taking care of all their patients . what about dr. munro or dr. finn ? finn : hey , what about me ? elizabeth : everyone 's going crazy . we really need your voice of reason . felix : i 'm just wrapping up here . i 'll be right over . anna : oh , hi . felix , i really need your help .

[ scene_break ] jason : hey , sonny . i know you 're angry . but i would like you to think right now . the police know you had nothing to do with morgan 's death . you 're in the clear . carly 's waiting for you at home , because she loves you . you pull that trigger , that all goes away . you 're gon na lose her . you want to be alone ? give me the gun . go home to your wife . sonny : i do n't have a home anymore , not without my son .

[ scene_break ] tracy : there you go . everyone on that list has to go . hayden : i think we should discuss other options before committing to this . tracy : oh , i see the problem . hayden : a bunch of deserving nurses are about to lose their jobs ? tracy : no , no , no . it 's you ! your little romance with finn has made you soft . hayden : i 'm not soft . tracy : then suck it up ! hayden : if you 're so eager to fire people , why not do it yourself ? tracy : do you think i enjoy sending people to the unemployment line ? the staff of this hospital saved my life . but there will be no one left to save any more lives if the hospital gets shuttered and converted into condos . so , while i implement the rest of this plan , you need to do your part . or i 'll find someone who will . [ scene_break ] jordan : you 're just gon na throw everything away because of one kiss with curtis ? andré : what do we have , jordan ? some good times , the comfort of familiarity , but with our schedules , with our lives , mostly lowered expectations and a string of broken promises . jordan : i 'm sorry . i guess i 'm remembering this wrong . i - i thought that we loved each other . andré : we 've said we do . i know i do . look at us , we 've already spent a month apart over curtis , and we 're here again . again ! and for what ? what do i have to show for it ? a key to your apartment ? i 'm sorry , but i want more . i want all of you or none of you ! jordan : i can give more . i can give you more . andré : jordan , you have been honest with me about what happened with curtis , and i thank you . now , do yourself the same favor . admit that i 'm not the one that you want .

[ scene_break ] sonny : jason , you heard the recording . ava : what recording ? can you at least let me hear it before you kill me ? sonny : you do n't need to hear it . i heard it . julian 's own words . jason : sonny , think about it . we never got a clear picture of the woman , we never heard her voice . there are too many things that do n't make sense . there are too many things that do n't fit . you want to tear your family apart ? you pull that trigger and kill the wrong person . sonny : my family 's already torn apart . jason : sonny , no , they 're not . your family 's just starting to heal . but you pull that trigger , and that all goes away . you lose your wife . your son -- he 's gon na have to take you to prison . is that what you want ? i 'm sorry i could n't save morgan , but what about your other kids ? now , they need their father . and they already lost a brother . do n't make them lose their father . put that gun in my hand and you go home .
