[ carly sighs ] carly : well ? jax : i 've been to every one of michael 's friends on the list . no one 's seen him . i think we should call the police . carly : we ca n't . we ca n't . jason 's out looking for him . he said not to do anything until we 've heard from him . jax : well , hold on a second . michael 's our son , not jason 's . we get to make our own decisions about him . carly : no . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey . you got to come back to me now , because you 're -- i 'm -- you 're killing me here . you got to stay -- she 's not -- she 's not staying focused . leo : she is . sonny : i mean , sometimes she does , in and out , and -- leo : well , she 's just staying focused on healing . she 's smart . that 's more than i expect from most patients in her position . sonny : she smiled earlier , just a little bit , you know ? leo : yeah ? well , good . good . she has a deep connection to you , even in a semiconscious state . it 's beautiful , man . keep that up . sonny : i 'm not going anywhere . leo : we just need to make some assessments . so we wo n't be long . you can see her in a bit . sonny : um -- all right , all right .

[ scene_break ] lulu : oh . johnny : hey , sleepyhead . lulu : huh . what -- what are you looking at ? johnny : nothing , just watching you sleep . but not in a creepy way . i 'm just listening to the pattern of your breathing , thinking that this is the first time in forever i 'm just happy to wake up . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . alexis : a penny for your thoughts , or are they too murderous ? sam : oh -- no , no . it was nothing like that at all . even though it should be , considering the hell that you and i have been through , and maxie . i mean , georgie and emily are dead , and leticia . i just -- alexis : if it was logan , he 's obviously a very disturbed man . sam : but is that him ? i mean , really , can -- can you wrap your mind around logan hayes being the text message killer ? alexis : we 're not going to know anything until he wakes up . and only then will we know if this nightmare is over . [ scene_break ] jax : you 're actually saying that i ca n't call the police to search for our missing son ? carly : i 've been through this before . the police are n't going to do anything . he has n't technically been missing 24 hours . jax : oh . right , right . sure . that really would n't matter , anyway , would it ? because we 're going to do what jason wants , right ? we 're going to wait for jason to exhaust all his mob - related contacts and check up all his mob - related reasons why michael could be missing . and then we 're just going to wait to see what jason wants us to do -- until he gives us his command , is n't that right ? carly : stop . no , stop it ! jason practically raised michael , okay ? he took care of him before i did . he 's going to do whatever it takes to find him , jax . jax : oh , meaning i wo n't ? meaning i 'm not capable ? carly : no . i never said that . jax : meaning when our child is born , i 'm allowed to change diapers and feed the baby and everything , but when something really serious happens , we 'll just have to see what jason says , right ? carly : stop it ! you stop twisting my words ! jax : then stop giving me second - rate status in this marriage ! carly : i 'm not ! [ jax sighs ] jax : you know what ? that 's what it -- that 's what it feels like . i mean , jason always comes first . it 's `` jason this , jason that . `` it 's like `` jason 's my best friend . `` i mean , how many times -- you know what ? it would n't surprise me if you told jason you wanted us to try to have a baby before you told me . god , i hate it when i 'm right . you know , at least i got to father it , right ? carly : you know what ? jason has been protecting me and my family for a long time , and you know this . he is my dearest friend . jax : yes , yes , and i 'm your husband ! carly : why ca n't you just trust him ? jax : oh , that 's funny . i was going to ask you why you could n't do the same for me ! [ jax sighs ] jax : ugh . carly : this is great . this is great . jax : i 'm -- i am -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i do n't -- carly : i am standing here , jax , and i am scared to death . jax : hey , i do n't -- i do n't want to fight . come here . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . [ jax sighs ] [ carly sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : the zaccharas have hit with both barrels . jason : sonny , there 's no proof michael being missing has anything to do with kate or that the zaccharas are responsible for either one . sonny : just get me the proof . jason : okay , carly is a wreck , even more so because she -- sonny : because what , because she 's married to jax , who 's probably on his way here with the cops ? jason : no . look , i told her not to do anything till i gave her the word . sonny : what we 're going to do is we 're going to wait to be notified by the zaccharas as far as the -- what they want to do with the ransom . we bring in the cops right now , michael pays . as far as -- you know , the other five families -- they know better not to touch this , but there 's got to be something that ties all this together . trevor claims he had nothing to do with the shooting , not that i would believe that sack of spit if he told me the sky was blue . jason : anthony -- anthony could have ordered this to -- to impress somebody , to prove he still has what it takes . jason : yes , and i -- i had spinelli dig into claudia 's past . there 's not -- there 's nothing there . sonny : have him dig deeper , because she 's the craziest of the bunch . if i had to pick one of them to do this to kate , it would be that bitch . jason : why ? sonny : bec -- let 's just say she does n't take rejection very well . [ scene_break ] trevor 's voice : claudia ? claudia ? trevor : claudia -- claudia : i was just remembering how that nasty tone of command has always been in your voice . trevor : did you do it ? claudia : what ? i 've done a lot of things . trevor : did you shoot kate howard ? claudia : see , she 's just one of those women who deserves to be shot . trevor : answer the question . claudia : calm down , trevors . you do n't want to give yourself a stroke . talk about deserving -- trevor : enough of your games . sonny corinthos almost put a bullet in me outside of kate 's operating room . did you , or did you not shoot kate howard ? claudia : no . trevor : all right . i believe you . claudia : speaking of games -- when were you planning on telling me that you 're sonny corinthos ' stepdaddy ? [ scene_break ] ric : thanks for taking my call , and getting here so quickly . elizabeth : well , you said something about somebody needing medical attention ? ric : yes , they do . come in . i did n't know who else i could call or trust . it 's okay . elizabeth : what 'd you do to her ? elizabeth : come with me . sit down so i can take a look at you . ric : i did n't do this -- although with our history , um , it 's painfully logical for you to make that leap . marianna : no , he did n't touch me . he helped me ; maybe he even saved my life . elizabeth : then why did n't you go to the hospital ? ric : it 's okay , we can trust her . elizabeth : i 'm going to need some warm water and a clean cloth . elizabeth : this looks like it might need stitches , but i ca n't tell until i get it cleaned up . you really need to see a doctor . marianna : i ca n't . elizabeth : why ? are you in trouble ? marianna : i did n't do anything wrong , if that 's what you mean . elizabeth : there 's nothing on earth a woman could do to deserve this . [ elizabeth sighs ] elizabeth : you do n't have to explain . let me just get this cleaned up . marianna : you 're very kind . you must be elizabeth . [ scene_break ] johnny : the coffee smells like coffee . i ca n't say the same for these rolls . you know , there 's nothing around here but this seedy little food shack , which is crazy because you 've got the marina and the business district within 10 blocks of any direction . somebody 's missing out on a gold mine . lulu : that 's very business - minded of you . johnny : is that a bad thing ? lulu : no , it 's just not the johnny that hangs out on rooftops and takes the curves at the lookout point like he 's invincible . johnny : my possibilities have always been limited living behind the confines of the zacchara compound . it was always funneled by my father 's craziness , my life was filtered by trevor , and i always felt that i should be alone or that i was alone because it was always too dangerous to involve anybody else , you know ? lulu : so , what changed ? johnny : being free , possibility of you . lulu : huh . johnny : what 's wrong ? lulu : nothing . it 's just -- you know , us being here and we 're -- [ lulu sighs ] lulu : feeling so good , well , you know , because -- johnny : right -- it 's all riding on the back of logan 's life . [ scene_break ] patrick : i wish i had better news . we ca n't force him into consciousness . the longer he stays in this state , the more likely he is to slip into a coma which really has no time limit . mac : i need some answers . scott : yeah , well , so do i . patrick : you 're not going to get any , not right now . i 'll keep you updated . scott : i should 've confronted him when i brought him in the hospital for his ribs . mac : you could n't have known . scott : ah , he told me he was in bar fight . he had no money , so i paid his hospital bill , then i find out that sam kicked her attacker in the ribs before her hit - and - run . i wanted to believe his story and i still do , mac . maybe he was just collecting this stuff from the killer , you know , so that he could frame johnny and make time with lulu -- and that the killer is still out there . mac : we 're going to find out sooner or later . let 's just hope it does n't take another dead body to prove it . [ scene_break ] alexis : and i bought you this phone . it 's on my calling plan . it 's a home , office , and entertainment system on it . you can do whatever you want . you can dvd , play music , play games . sam : hey -- alexis : you can mix drinks . sam : whoa , whoa , whoa -- wait . can you make phone calls ? alexis : i have no idea . sam : oh , great . alexis : but i figured it 'll take you some time figuring out whether you can or not and it 'll help you pass the time . sam : huh , thank you . oh , you know what ? i actually talked dr. devlin into sending me home today . i just -- i really want to go home . lucky : i do n't think you should do that . sam : why -- do you have a better idea ? [ pager beeps ] lucky : we need to talk about this . alexis : he is trying . sam : no , he is guilty . and you know , there was a time when i would 've probably used that to hold on to him , but no , not now . alexis : why do n't you come home with me ? it 'll make kristina feel better . sam : i do n't know . i do n't want to scare her , i 'm using a cane , and -- alexis : okay , why do n't you come home -- you know , make me feel better ? sam : i would say thank you , and i 'm saying it -- `` thank you . `` but , you know , i think i am perfectly capable of being home alone right now . [ scene_break ] ric : we pretty much drove all night . there was no place that we could stop that would n't involve questions and consequences that marianna ca n't afford . even if they were able to lock up the guy who brought her from venezuela under false pretenses , they 'd still probably hold her somewhere and then ship her out of the country . all of her choices would be gone -- again . elizabeth : it 's disgusting that any man would hold a woman against her will . marianna : yeah . ric : yeah , look , i 'm going to -- um -- i 'm going to call in some favors . you know , immigration law is a whole -- whole new ballgame since 9/11 . a lot of innocent people are getting hurt . you know , marianna 's very resourceful and brave . she 'd capture the moths in the coffee shop and set them free rather than kill them . you know , that 's not exactly the makings of a terrorist . elizabeth : this is just an analgesic , but it 'll help with the pain , but you really need to lie down and rest . marianna : okay . ric : and do n't worry about randy , okay ? marianna : you do n't know him . ric : he does n't know me , right ? look , there 's a -- there 's a guestroom back there , it 's quiet , nobody will bother you . you can take a bath if you want to -- there 's lavender soap in the cabinet . marianna : thank you so much . elizabeth : you 're welcome . elizabeth : well , for all you know about her , she does n't really know you at all , does she ? [ scene_break ] jerry : oh , alexis ? hello . alexis : hi . jerry : how are you holding up ? alexis : i 'm still standing , thank you . jerry : i thought you could use some moral support with kristina . alexis : well , i was just going to pick her up from dr. winters and then we 're going home . jerry : oh , is there any improvement ? alexis : no . jerry : no ? i 'm sorry . i heard they caught the text message killer -- logan hayes ? alexis : i know . if it 's him , i do n't understand why she would react so violently to him and then just shut down . jerry : hmm . is ric home yet ? alexis : no . why would he be ? [ phone rings ] jerry : oh . oh , i have to take that . i 'll meet you there when you 're done , okay ? alexis : got another body to bury ? [ jerry and alexis chuckle ] jerry : talk to me . are you sure ? do you have any idea how many people are going to be upset by this news ? [ scene_break ] carly : wow . that is a cool picture . why do n't you go upstairs and color , and you can get cleaned up a little bit , okay ? morgan : where 's michael ? jax : michael 's off on an adventure . i 'm sure he ca n't wait to tell you about it when he gets back . carly : thank you . jax : you know , michael 's probably just off on a lark . he 's been moody , we 've been strict . i ran away once when i was 9 . carly : that supposed to make me feel better ? jax : well , i was back by supper . carly : oh . if this had n't happened before , you know , i 'd -- jax : oh , you -- oh . you mean with a.j . and faith rosco ? carly : yeah . jax : that 's why you 're so worried . [ carly sighs ] jax : that 's why jason 's being extra careful . still , i -- i 'd like to explore the less drastic reason why he 's missing . just a boy who threw some food into his backpack and wanted some time on his own . maybe he got on a -- on a bus or -- or a boat or maybe he took a train somewhere . you going to be okay for a little while ? carly : i 'll call my mom . jax : you know what ? you can tell her the good news . carly : now is not the time . you know , it 's just not . jax : you told jason , did n't you ? carly : yes , i did , yeah . jax : good -- give him extra motivation to find our boy . carly : oh , please find him . [ scene_break ] sonny : where 'd you find it ? jason : one of our guys found it off near pier 47 . sonny : pier 47 ? that 's about two blocks down across from the taylor building where we found kate . jason : right . sonny : so , michael 's disappearance and kate 's shooting are connected . [ scene_break ] sam : oh . lucky : i thought we were going to talk . sam : i 'm not really sure what we have to talk about . lucky : i can think of a lot of things . sam : yeah , but i bet none of them are based on what we had or -- or what we could 've been together . wait , let me guess -- i bet you 're here to ask me to come to your place and -- and stay there until i 'm done walking on three legs , huh ? lucky : yeah , that 's part of it . sam : and not because you ca n't live without me , but because you feel completely responsible for the situation . lucky : that 's part of it , too . sam : yeah , well , what happened to the love part of it , lucky ? yeah , that 's pretty much where i thought it was , too . lucky : okay , i feel guilty for what happened to you . sam : okay . lucky : i admit it . so what ? sam : `` so what ? `` so i do n't need your pity . what do you want ? lucky : i do n't know . sam : oh , boy , you do n't know ? well , that 's pretty vague territory for two people to move in together , do n't you think ? listen , if you 're looking for absolution , i suggest that you go to the confessional at the queen of angels because i ca n't give it to you , and you want to know why ? because i do n't think you need forgiveness . i am the one who -- who did all of those awful things to elizabeth and jake , not you , and i hoped that you would never find out . now you know it all . it 's fine , i can live with that . lucky : and you 're hurt ? sam : yes , i am hurt . what do you think ? yes , inside and out . [ sam sighs ] sam : i do n't know . who knows , you know ? i -- i do n't have to be back to work for a little bit , so maybe i 'll take a trip and i 'll go on a cruise and count the islands in greece or something . lucky : what if you need something ? sam : well , you know , i have a new phone , and it does everything but cook dinner , so i think i 'll be fine . lucky : okay , fine , what if you -- what if you need something -- sam : you will be the last person that i call -- until i know that you 're going to call back for the right reasons . [ scene_break ] johnny : i only want to be in this if you 're in it 100 % . lulu : it 's just hard to explain . i ca n't ignore what i did . johnny : you were protecting yourself . lulu : and i was involved with him , johnny . on and off , but i was involved with a potential serial killer . what does that say about me ? johnny : it says that you have a trusting heart . lulu : oh -- johnny : it does , and that he was damn good at reeling you in . all of the psychotic madness aside , there was a certain brilliance to him , or else he would n't have gotten away with what he did for so long . lulu : yeah , maybe . johnny : `` maybe `` ? no , eventually you would 've done something or said something to make him turn on you , like georgie or emily . i could n't stand by and watch that happen . lulu : what do you mean ? johnny : i was ready to let you make your choice -- me or logan . okay , i was a coward . i did n't want to win you over and then see you hurt . lulu : you would never hurt me . johnny : no , not me , but my life , my life as it used to be . but i do n't have to be bound by that anymore , i do n't have to be that last hope of the zacchara empire or trevor 's puppet . will you go out to dinner with me ? lulu : what ? johnny : i want you to go on a date with me . i do n't care where we go , it could be boring as hell . lulu : what ? what are you talking about ? johnny : i 'm talking about being like normal people our age , who want to go out and have a good time . will you meet me back here in a few hours ? lulu : okay , yeah , sure , sure . okay . johnny : okay , good . i have to go home and prove something to somebody . lulu : who ? johnny : a mousy little girl with red shoes who thinks that love kills . see you later . [ scene_break ] claudia : so talk to me , trevors , tell me . there 's got to be more to this story than just you knocking up sonny corinthos ' mother and producing a bastard son . trevor : none of your business . claudia : you know , every single moment of my private life until the minute i was carted out of here was your business -- johnny 's too , and his father 's and his mother 's . and look at us now -- we 're all scattered , we 're all damaged . and you 're in control and you have all the power ? that 's just one of the things i intend to change while i 'm here . trevor : yeah ? all of a sudden you 're going to step up and take responsibility ? where 's everybody been all these years ? just how long do you think it 's going to take you ? claudia : until i 'm done . trevor : hmm . claudia : let me rephrase that -- until you 're finished . trevor : do n't be a fool , claudia . you are never going to take me down . claudia : i 'm pretty confident . trevor : overconfident . claudia : hmm . it must be a really cozy thanksgiving around here , though , huh ? sonny corinthos , the local kingpin , his estranged brother , the d.a . , and the d.a . 's estranged father acting as incumbent head of the zacchara underworld ? trevor : no , no , no , no , no , claudia , i 'm not acting anymore , i am the head of the zacchara underworld . i got all the connections . i got the loyalty and the experience . claudia : hmm -- just not enough to get a foothold in port charles . trevor : it will come -- with the alcazar property . claudia : uh - huh . who 's overconfident now ? trevor : claudia -- oh , darling , you remember telling me that you were carted off once ? what makes you think that that ca n't happen again ? [ scene_break ] ric : well , marianna knows all about my ugly past with my brother , my father , this town and pretty much everybody in it . but she did n't care . all that mattered to her was who i was when we met . elizabeth : `` met `` ? ric : yeah , i went to martha 's vineyard . i -- uh -- i wanted to stir up some old ghosts and see if they looked any differently to me . you know , i -- i ca n't change what i 've done , elizabeth , only where i go from here . elizabeth : which is ? ric : hmm . well , just before i left town , skye gave me alcazar 's waterfront property . hmm -- it 's kind of like giving the devil a stick of dynamite , is n't it ? elizabeth : maybe worse . ric : oh . so , that 's the second time that you 've not given me the benefit of the doubt today . elizabeth : well , can you blame me ? ric : no . how 's jason ? elizabeth : what does that matter ? ric : well , you were in love with him , right ? probably still in love with him . i was more than half convinced that jake was his child . elizabeth : where are you going with this ? ric : if jason were to leave sonny tomorrow and run off with you , have this big , beautiful , peaceful life , would you want everybody else to judge him for what he 'd done ? elizabeth : that 's different . ric : no , it 's not . it 's only different in the eyes of the person who believes in him and loves him . only in the eyes of the person who loves them and hopes that they can change , and hopes that the change can stick . i used to see that look in your eyes -- of love , trust . elizabeth : but you killed it . ric : for me . elizabeth : is that what marianna is -- a second chance at salvation for you ? ric : no . no , that has to come from me . elizabeth : it 's kind of funny you met her in a coffee shop -- ric : hmm . elizabeth : just like you met me . ric : yep . elizabeth : i guess you want history to repeat itself . ric : no . all i want from marianna is to be treated with kindness and respect . i 'm helping her , elizabeth , because i can , not because i want anything from her in return . elizabeth : that would be a first . ric : yeah , it would . [ scene_break ] sonny : stay focused on michael . jason : wait , wait , wait -- what are you going to do ? sonny : i got to do what i 've got to do , that 's what i got to do . jason : i know that you 're upset . you need to be careful before you make things worse , sonny . sonny : worse -- worse ? what do you mean , `` worse `` ? my son 's missing . kate almost died . what do you want me to do ? jason : just -- just let me find the proof . sonny : okay , go ahead , find the proof . find the proof that the zaccharas did not do this . and with any luck , you 'll find the proof before we find body parts . we 're going to find legs in the ocean , we 're going to find -- jason : sonny -- sonny , let -- let me handle this . you stay with kate . she needs you . sonny : do n't tell me -- do n't tell me what kate needs . i know what she needs , and i know what i need . go do your job .

[ scene_break ] dante : this must be tough for you , from a business perspective . a cop who knows way too much , and should probably die . but as it turns out , i 'm sonny 's son . and that comes as a surprise to everyone , me especially . and he 's got a sentimental attachment to me . he told you not to kill me , did n't he ? jason : that was his order . dante : well , once sonny 's in prison , i 'm sure you 'll be taking over the business , and you can pretty much come after me any time you want , right ? jason : do n't you even care that sonny 's protecting you ? even though you lied to his face , and you 're doing everything that you can to destroy him ? dante : [ scoffs ] wait a minute . are you telling me that i should be grateful to the man who shot me ? jason : how about some gratitude ? and some respect ? for your father . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i love you . and asking me to stop is like ... asking me to erase the years of friendship we share together . i 'm sorry , i ca n't do it . i ca n't stop the feeling i have for you . elizabeth : just stop , just stop . i ca n't do this . my feelings for you and lucky are what put me here to begin with . this is tearing me apart inside . [ scene_break ] maxie : i ca n't believe this ! are you some kind of maniac ? ! i 'm calling 9 - 1 - 1 and telling them some crazy person just ran me off of the road . hello ? are you okay ? lucky : [ groans ] maxie . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i guess i need to find a better form of anger management . [ groans ] maxie : i 'm sorry . i should n't have called you a maniac . i 'm not the world 's greatest driver myself . lucky : you , uh , are you saying this is your fault ? maxie : no , not at all . well , i mean , i could have been a teeny bit distracted . kate said her car was pinging , and i took it to johnny to get it fixed , and i was trying to email kate the invoice while texting and talking and driving at the same time , so it 's possible i went over the line just a little bit . lucky : well , even if you did , i was the one who was going too fast . maxie : you are n't high or drunk , are you ? lucky : no . i wish . maxie : are you thinking about something or someone specific ? like elizabeth or nikolas , not to be too nosy . lucky : yeah , i was just with elizabeth , trying to help her out . maxie : that 's very generous of you , all things considered . lucky : yeah , i was just saying what she needed to hear . but the words sounded hollow , so i needed to get away from her and myself . it 's an expensive exit strategy , is n't it ? maxie : you know , that cut on your forehead is bleeding . lucky : oh , that 's fine . i got a buddy with a tow , i 'll call him , he 'll come out . it 's not a big deal . maxie : i think you should probably go to the hospital . lucky : no , i 'm not in the mood to see my brother , the trustee , so no , thank you . maxie : all right , well , if you 're not gon na go to the hospital , then you 're coming with me . lucky : ahh . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i chose lucky . nikolas : yeah , i know , and vowed to stay away from me . but you could n't . you wanted to be with me . elizabeth : and it destroyed me , nikolas . that 's why i 'm here , in this stupid place . i ca n't do this anymore . nikolas : elizabeth , people change . what 's right for the past is n't necessarily what 's right for the future . elizabeth : lucky forgave me . yeah , he did . and i ca n't , i wo n't hurt him again . nikolas : i just ca n't stop wondering if this determination you have to be with lucky is more about guilt than love . i just ... elizabeth : i do feel guilty . i do , because after everything i have done , lucky still cares . and he managed to forgive me . i do n't deserve it , but i 'm grateful . and this time , i am going to be worthy of his trust . nikolas : you can trust me , too . elizabeth : you do n't understand ! i have to get better so that i can go home and be with my boys . you need to let this idea of us go ! nikolas : what ? elizabeth , you are pregnant with a child that very well may be mine . and do n't you think that baby deserves two parents who love each other ?

'cause i was just thinking it 's getting kind of crowded . ethan : yeah , now that you 've mentioned it , i 'll leave you two to play your little game of cops and robbers . or is it robbers and more robbers ? max : out . milo : come on . [ scene_break ] sonny : you got pregnant with my child , and you lied . made up stories about who the father is -- could be this guy , could be that guy . i thought that you were scared and confused , you did n't know what you were doing . olivia : i knew what i was doing . i was protecting my child . sonny : well , i would have protected my child , too . olivia : yeah , sonny . gangsters have a really great track record of keeping the people they love safe . sonny : i would have taken responsibility , and i sure as hell would have raised my son , and you know that . olivia : you had that chance with michael and with morgan . sonny : and i give thanks every day of my life for them . but dante is my firstborn . i can see that we 're a lot alike . i just want to get to know him , is that -- olivia : this is so typical of you ! you see whatever you want to see , sonny . sonny : i was cheated ! my son never got to know me as his father . the damage is on you . olivia : you want to talk about damage ? want to talk about damage , how about the damage you did when you put a bullet in his chest ? ! sonny : that would n't have happened ... if i had known he was my son . olivia : i am sorry that i let that investigation go on for as long as it did , but i will never , never apologize for keeping my kid out of your world of crime and corruption . and you want to know the proof that i did right ? the proof is the fine man that i raised . he has values . he knows right from wrong . he 's a fine , upstanding man . now can you look me in the eye and tell me that that 's the man he would have turned into if he would have grown up in your world ? i did n't think so . [ scene_break ] jason : you 're alive because of sonny . dante : you know what , technically you are right , i 'm alive because sonny knocked up my mother , but that does n't mean -- jason : michael heard you talking to johnny zacchara . that 's how he knew you were a cop . and he went to tell sonny and sonny actually thought michael was lying out of jealousy because he believed in you . he trusted you . he was going to hand you everything . dante : well , what can i say ? i 'm good at my job . jason : you know what the worst part is ? that i doubted michael , too . you were convincing . you ran your mouth a little too much , but you came through when it mattered . you saved lulu from franco . dante : that was separate . that guy was nuts and it did n't matter at that point whether i was a cop and you were a gangster or what . jason : yeah , but you did n't give up your cover . dante : well , if it meant stopping franco , i would have given up my cover . i tell you , that 's the truth . jason : you know what , i actually believe you . and i 'm the one who believed you when you told me you screwed up the hit on tommy soto . i talked sonny out of firing you , remember that ? dante : yeah , i do remember , and i was -- jason : yeah , and i used to be able to tell when people were lying to me or not . obviously , i 'm not that good at it anymore . but you 're not going to tell me that the relationship you had with sonny was n't real . dante : what can i say , okay ? i fell for the mobster with a heart of gold routine , okay ? hook , line and sinker . right up until the moment he shot me . jason : what do you expect ? you go into a man 's house , you gain his trust , you lie to his face , then he finds out you 're a cop . you 're lucky you 're not dead . dante : all right , i 'm curious , jason . would you have done that ? if i was cop standing in front of you with a badge and a warrant but no gun in my hands , would you have pulled the trigger ? lulu : i 'd like to know the answer to that . lulu : you know , i found out i was wrong about sonny . he 's not really kind or honorable . he does n't really have a code or limits , and as long as he pretends to have a conscience , as long as he pretends that he 's a good person who 's sometimes forced to do bad things , no one will stand up and stop him . jason : what do you expect , lulu ? do you think sonny 's going to sit you down and tell you every terrible thing he 's done ? he tries to be honorable , he tries to be kind . lulu : until it gets in the way of business . jason : no , until it gets in the way of survival . i 'm talking about a boss who let an undercover cop in his organization as far as sonny let dante in . he gets taken out . when sonny pulled that trigger , he was fighting for everything . lulu : you still have n't said if you would have done it . jason : dante was supposed to die . i made all the arrangements . i was going to kill you . even though you saved lulu , because you 're a rat cop who came after us . lulu : yeah , but you still would n't have done it the way sonny did -- shot him point blank , him standing right in front of you . he did n't even have a gun . jason : i do n't know . i was n't there . i do n't know what i would have done . dante : you know what , it does n't matter . sonny taught me a lesson when he shot me , okay ? i can not believe him , and i can not trust him . and the fact that he 's now my father does n't change that lesson . so you can just go ahead and tell sonny that i do n't need or want his protection . jason : oh , trust me , i 've tried to tell him . but whether you like it or not , sonny is your father . and he 's not going to give up on you . lulu : you okay ? dante : well , come here and ask me that . lulu : you 're shaking . dante : yeah , it 's just cold . well , you heard jason . sonny 's protecting me . he 's not giving up on me . i think that 's supposed to reassure me , but it feels more like i got a noose around my neck . like , no matter what i do , i 'll never be free of sonny . [ scene_break ] luke : what took you so long ? tracy : oh , your father has thought of nothing else but his precious delivery . luke : can you blame me ? those havanas are heaven on a leaf . rolled on the tender thighs of mountain virgins . tracy : you planning on smoking them or plying them with liquor ? ethan : unfortunately we 're doing neither . i return empty - handed . luke : what ? who ? what ? the cops come ? did carlos take off ? he did n't get my money , did he ? ethan : no , your money 's right here . i assume carlos was hiding from the gunfire . luke : what gunfire ? ethan : the gunfire . when i showed up to the pier , i heard shots , i walked in on max and milo conducting some of sonny 's business . i asked them if they 'd seen carlos , but they were a tad disagreeable . luke : well , they 're idiots . tracy : well , are you planning on telling sonny about this ? ethan : oh , hey , there 's no need to overreact . i mean , max and milo basically said , `` we 're busy , so bugger off , `` or something like that . so when they waved their guns in my face , i decided it was time for me to leave . luke : well , you do n't seem fazed by it . ethan : well , i spend my nights fleecing sheep here at these tables . it does a body good to mix it up with a rough crowd every now and then . luke : does n't it , does n't it ? [ luke and ethan laugh ] [ scene_break ] lucky : [ groaning ] do you have any idea what you 're doing ? maxie : excuse me . how many months did i volunteer at general hospital , serving oatmeal and pudding and arranging back issues of really boring magazines . [ lucky sighs ] maxie : wow , okay , i guess that 's probably not what you want to reminisce about right now . lucky : yeah . ow ! maxie : whoa ! look , it 's either this or an infection that goes straight to your brain and kills you . lucky : okay . you 're very dramatic , are n't you ? maxie : i 'll shut up about the hospital . lucky : do n't . it 's probably good for me to be reminded that i 'm an addict right now . and that i cheated on elizabeth with you . it helps me keep perspective . maxie : nobody 's perfect . lucky : exactly . if i was perfect , i could forgive elizabeth , right ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i do n't want to talk about this . i checked myself into shadybrook so that i could get well . nikolas : the way to get well is to face reality . elizabeth : and i am , with lucky 's help . nikolas : elizabeth , lucky is only one part of the picture here . you and i were together a lot of times . you were only with him once . the odds are that the baby is mine . elizabeth : yeah , but we do n't know that now , do we ? nikolas : no , we do n't . but if it is , we 're connected for the rest of our lives , whether you like it or not . elizabeth : so you think staking a claim to this baby is like staking a claim to me ? nikolas : no . no , of course not . elizabeth : are you sure ? 'cause you already have one kid you pretty much ignore , so why would you want another one ? unless you think this baby would bring us together ? [ scene_break ] lucky : my car 's in a ditch off maple . so i was wondering if you could pull it out , tow it to your place . great . yeah , i 'll be by later to pick it up . thank you . okay . maxie : vitamin c. helps with healing , and electrolytes help balance your system and give you energy . lucky : more knowledge from your hospital volunteering days ? maxie : no , spinelli told me that . his brain is jam - packed with information , and sometimes it 's useful . lucky : you 're really happy with spinelli , are n't you ? maxie : yeah . he 's sweet and kind and ... he sees my faults and loves me anyway . you know , he 's not delusional about it . lucky : that 's good . i 'm really glad . maxie : wish i could say the same for you and elizabeth . lucky : [ chuckles ] let me guess . you still do n't like her . maxie : [ scoffs ] no . but i like you . i mean , the time we spent together , i feel like we saw the worst in each other . you know , you were high and i was supplying you with drugs so you would stay high and depend on me . [ sighs ] i do n't know , but now i feel like we 've gotten glimpses of the best in each other . lucky : your point ? maxie : people are complicated . i 'm not easily shocked , okay ? so if you need someone to talk to ; to be honest with ... i 'm here to listen . besides , i 'm like the walking , talking expert on infidelity . lucky : elizabeth did n't just have an affair . she 's ... she 's pregnant . maxie : whose baby ? lucky : we do n't know yet . maxie : sorry . that 's overload . lucky : she checked herself into shadybrook . she 's completely overwhelmed with guilt . she 's begging me to forgive her . maxie : did you ? lucky : elizabeth has two kids at home . both from different fathers , and another one on the way . she has to get better for their sake , that 's all i know . so i told her that i forgive her . maxie : did you mean it ? lucky : every time i look at her , maxie , all i feel is the pain that she caused me , you know ? i ca n't stop seeing her and nikolas together . all the anger and the rage just rises up again . and if i do n't do something with it , it 's going to kill me . maxie : this might sound kind of crazy coming from me , but i think it 's time you start being truthful .

[ groaning ] [ scene_break ] jason : yeah , i talked to dante tonight . sonny : what do you mean ? at the hospital ? jason : yeah , at the hospital . sometimes i go up to the roof to think , and dante was there and he assumed i followed him up to take him out . sonny : what did you tell him ? jason : i told him that he 's under your protection . sonny : good , good , he needs to know he 's safe . jason : yeah , well , he told me that he 's going to put you away for claudia 's murder , and i 'm next . he 's going to come after me . sonny : wherever i end up , dante gets a free pass . jason : yeah , i know that , sonny , and he knows that . you made him untouchable . he 's twice the threat as he was before . sonny : you do n't know that . jason : no , i know that he 's a cop with inside information on us , and sooner or later , we 're going to have to deal with it .

[ scene_break ] lucky : being honest with elizabeth is easier said than done with the state she 's in . maxie : right . well , let 's start with the basics . do you still love her ? lucky : i have no idea . i mean , i ca n't tell the difference between hating her and loving her . feels like the same thing right now . we 've already been married twice , and every time , something breaks us apart . maxie : yeah , but you were still willing to try again . lucky : i know , i thought that elizabeth was the love of my life and that we 'd put all the betrayals behind us . but there she was , having sex with my own brother for months . i mean , how do you get past something like that ? maxie : do you want to get past that ? lucky : i do n't think it 's possible . maxie : look , when spinelli found out that i was cheating on him , he was devastated . and so was i. i thought the only way to fix things would be to let spinelli have one night with any girl he wanted . obviously , he did n't . spinelli showed me that forgiveness is n't about revenge sex . he freed me from his heart . lucky : well , my hat 's off to spinelli . maxie : what i 'm trying to say is that forgiveness either happens , or it does n't . right now it seems like you 're not ready to forgive elizabeth . you 're still angry and you feel betrayed , but you 're lying to her and acting like all those feelings are in the past . is that really fair to let her base her recovery off something that 's not even real ? lucky : what am i supposed to do ? she 's in the middle of a breakdown . am i supposed to just yell and scream at her ? maxie : find another way to help her . if you do n't , then you 're both going to end up in pain . [ cell phone rings ] lucky : ah . i got ta get down to pier 52 . maxie : you sure you 're okay to work right now ? lucky : work might be the only thing i am okay to do . oh . oh , maxie , thank you . i appreciate it . maxie : welcome . [ scene_break ] lucky : ah , pcpd could use a guy like you . jason : rough night ? lucky : what ? oh , yeah . yeah , i got into a fender bender . i was driving way too fast , basically asking for trouble . jason : well , you 've had good reason . lucky : listen , i do n't know if you 've heard or if you 're aware , but elizabeth 's pregnant . nikolas is most likely the father . jason : i 'm sorry . how 's elizabeth doing ? lucky : not good . she checked herself into shadybrook . although i do n't know how much progress she can make until she has a paternity test . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you 're talking about that procedure where the doctor takes a sample of my placenta . nikolas : yeah , it can be done as early as ten weeks . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] right . and the risk of miscarriage is only slightly higher than one in a hundred . but if i wait to do an amnio between the 15th and 18th week , then the risk goes down to one in 300 , and only one and 500 if i wait to do it in third trimester . nikolas : the doctors at general hospital have a higher success rate with the cvs test . and it 's something to consider , that 's all -- elizabeth : the early testing is usually done when the baby 's health is in question . there 's no need to rush when we 're testing for the baby 's paternity . nikolas : unless it brings you peace of mind . elizabeth : if lucky is the father , then my choice is clear . and if -- nikolas : and if it 's mine , we need to seriously discuss the future . elizabeth : i do n't want to think about this right now . nikolas : all i 'm suggesting is that the sooner you know , the sooner you can start planning . elizabeth : you 're pressuring me ! i 've got a lot on my mind ! nikolas : okay , i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to pressure you . i 'm sorry . do the cvs , the amnio . whatever , do nothing , do n't do anything . it 's up to you . elizabeth : yeah , that 's right , it is up to me , and i 'll make my own decision . nikolas : the baby will be a blessing , no matter who the father is .

[ laughs ] that is great , felicia . so , have you found out anything about nelle ? carly : mom . what are you doing here ? bobbie : oh . i 'll call you back . hi , honey . carly : hi . bobbie : i just had dinner here with someone , and i thought i 'd pop in and say hi to you . carly : oh . well , you almost missed me . i just stopped by to get one of my favorite bottles of champagne because sonny and i are going out of town on a trip . ah . what 's all this ? bobbie : oh , yeah . [ chuckles ] your inbox was a little overflowing , so , uh , i was just gon na throw the obvious junk , and , uh , but now you can do the honors . we can have a chance to chat . so , how do you feel about doing something productive before you head out of town ? [ scene_break ] nelle : things are n't as simple as i led you to believe . michael : okay , look . i get it . i get it . you 're with this guy , and it 's -- it 's none of my business . normally , i would n't get in the middle of anyone 's relationship , but i would n't have even said anything if i -- if i thought you were at all happy in this -- this -- this arrangement . nelle : well , i am , and i need to honor that . michael : [ sighs ] okay , sure . you just -- you just do n't seem very happy about it . nelle : i do n't ? michael : no , you do n't . i - i do n't know . maybe -- maybe you do . i should n't presume to know how you feel , but you play things so close to the vest . nelle : i know . i think it 's some sort of defense mechanism . michael : against what ? nelle : if you do n't give other people your personal , intimate details , then they ca n't use them against you . and if you do n't share your secrets , then they ca n't betray you . michael : you really believe that ? nelle : yeah , i do . michael : all the time ? nelle : why ? michael : nelle , if you keep yourself so closed off , yeah , sure , sure , it helps in -- in keeping away the people that will hurt you . but it 's also keeping away the people that could care about you . [ scene_break ] carly : i think the mail can wait because i really got to get going . mom , after everything sonny and i have been through , we deserve this trip . bobbie : mm . so , how are you both doing with this latest development with , uh , ava ? carly : uh , well , when i found out that ava was arrested for putting that bomb in julian 's car , i wanted to kill her myself . bobbie : i know . i do n't blame you . i see red every time i think about the horrible things that she 's done to morgan . but you know what ? it is not gon na do anybody any good for you to throw your life away on ava jerome . carly : i know . i know . sonny told me that . bobbie : i 'm really glad you finally found your way back to sonny . carly : me , too . bobbie : i mean , i know i have had my issues with him in the past , and i still do . carly : oh , there 's the mother i know and love . bobbie : but right now , i just want my daughter to be happy . so , where are you taking sonny on your getaway ? carly : do you remember that place in the mountains that we used to rent when michael and morgan were little ? i booked it for a week . bobbie : have you heard the weather reports ? carly : no . why ? bobbie : the storm front has just dropped inches of snow up in the mountains . the roads are impassable , so i hate to tell you , honey , but there is n't gon na be any romantic getaway this weekend . [ scene_break ] nelle : look , i know that you mean well , but you do n't know me , not really . michael : well , not for lack of trying . nelle : you know , michael , maybe the people that you 've let into your life have kind to you . but not all of us are that lucky . michael : okay , sorry , i - i - i do n't know where you got this idea that i live some kind of fantasy life . yeah , i 've always had money , and th - that counts for a lot . but it 's not like i have n't felt betrayal in my life . nelle : by who ? michael : it 's complicated , but trust me , i have . nelle : well , whatever it was , you know , you can get past it . and -- and -- and you 've got still the same loving family that you 've always had , but it does n't work out that way for everybody , and it sure as hell is n't gon na work out that way for me ! [ scene_break ] sonny : so , when did olivia jerome supposedly die ? jason : supposedly , julian killed her in 1990 . sonny : killed her how ? jason : shot her in the back , ran away . sonny : classic julian . everything he does , he just screws up . so , most likely she 's -- 50 % chance she survived . jason : if she is alive , i think there 's a good chance that she killed morgan . [ scene_break ] ava : answer me , julian . why does it have to be alexis that helps me ? julian : [ sighs ] ava : what is going on ? what are you planning ? are you planning to disappear ? what ? julian : i ca n't tell you , ava . it 's -- it 's just too dangerous . ava : well , who 's stopping you ? is it sonny ? julian : [ sighs ] ava : then who ? julian : ava , please . ava : look at you . you 're terrified . julian : [ sighs ] ava : julian . hey . whatever is going on here ... you need to trust me . i may not be able to help myself , but i can help you . julian : why would you do that ? ava : because we 're blood . yeah , we 've betrayed each other . we 've even threatened to kill each other . but here we are . those experiences just brought us closer together . julian : [ chuckles ] we 're a pretty dysfunctional family , are n't we ? ava : i 've seen worse , though . because when it really matters , we stand together . so whatever it is , whatever danger you 're in , if it affects you , it affects me . so , please , tell me . what the hell is going on ? [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : what does reincarnation mean to me ? [ scoffs ] well , it was a very defining moment in my life . sam : well ... do n't keep me in suspense . what was that defining moment ? olivia : oh . when i became clean and sober . i left that whole wretched past life behind and embraced my glorious new one . if that is n't the epitome of reincarnation , i do n't know what is . [ scene_break ] ava : come on , julian . right now , i 'm the only family you can rely on . you can trust me . julian : i wish i could tell you . i really do . ava : please . if you ever cared about me , if our bond as brother and sister means anything to you at all , please , tell me what 's going on . julian : okay . i 'll tell you . [ cell phone rings ] [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : what about you ? sam : oh , i 'm a social drinker , but i 've -- i 've never had a problem . [ chuckles ] i know that because when i -- when i got pregnant , i did n't have a -- i did n't have a problem giving up alcohol . olivia : well , good for you . sam : yeah . olivia : i was n't referring specifically to drinking . sam : no ? then what specifically were you referring to ? olivia : there must have been some turning point in your life , some time when you felt all was lost and then an opportunity presented itself . when would you say that was ? sam : like , right now . olivia : now ? sam : yeah . could you pull over ? [ scene_break ] hayden : convince the money - grubbing board members that a not - for - profit community service is better for them than a lucrative condo deal ? [ chuckles ] great . no pressure . monica : well , maybe it wo n't be as difficult as you think . michael and laura are on the board , and they 're on our side . tracy : they better be . michael 's giving money , and laura gave me a ... bedpan . hayden : full or empty ? tracy : brimming . hayden : i need to re - evaluate my opinion of her . tracy : look , even if hayden 's powers of persuasion are not all that they are cracked up to be , it is a reasonable certainty that we are gon na be able to get the remaining votes we need . monica : excuse me , but is n't reasonable certainty a bit of an oxymoron ? tracy : wait a minute . you were the one that wanted to break out the sparkling cider . the two of you convinced me to put my negativity aside and enjoy the moment . so get the bubbly , monica . i think it is time that we count those chickens , after all . general hospital being saved is almost a done deal . [ scene_break ] carly : thank you so much . and please let me know if there 's any problems . okay . okay . [ scoffs ] at least the caretaker had a land line . bobbie : oh . well , i take it nelle is there . carly : yeah . yeah , she showed up , but she 's not getting off that mountain . nobody is . i hope she does n't try . bobbie : does the caretaker know if she 's okay ? carly : he saw her . he said she 's fine . look , the fridge is stocked and there 's plenty of firewood , so nelle should be fine . bobbie : oh , well , good . carly : really ? good ? bobbie : well , honey , [ chuckles ] i may not be her biggest fan , but i do n't want to see her go hungry or freeze to death . carly : okay . [ laughs ] that 's nice of you . and thank you for not trashing her to me . bobbie : well , you were right . it was really unfair of me to be so suspicious of nelle when i did n't have any proof . [ scene_break ] michael : look , nelle , you do n't know you 're never going to be happy . nobody knows that . nelle : oh , i do . look , michael , when -- when i was a little girl , i used to dream of growing up and getting away from my family . i dreamt of finding someone to love me . i would watch way too many sappy movies on tv , and i thought that , hmm , i do n't know , maybe that could happen to me . but the older i got , the clearer it became . i saw how high the deck was stacked against me . so i knew i had a decision to make . [ sighs ] if i could n't have happiness , then i 'd have to settle for satisfaction . and i will do anything necessary to get that . michael : [ scoffs ] it sounds like you 're fighting like hell to settle for something that 's less than you deserve . nelle : i ca n't expect you to understand . michael : this is not about me . it 's about you . chasing somebody who 's incapable of caring about you -- is that -- is that really what you want ? nelle : i do n't want any of this , but it 's all i 'm ever gon na get . michael : well , how could you think like that ? nelle : because i do n't deserve to be happy . michael : no , look . yes , you do . okay , yes , you do . [ scene_break ] jason : did olivia jerome resurface anywhere else ? no ? okay , i 'm gon na keep searching on my end , too . thank you , spinelli . i appreciate it . sonny : any luck ? jason : no , not yet . but if there 's any trace of olivia to be found on the internet , spinelli will find it , point us to her . sonny : unless she 's really dead . jason : you know , the more i think about it , the more olivia makes sense . it explains why we found a picture of -- of julian as a child in a pawnshop and why we keep finding these chinese characters that mean reincarnation . sonny : or the pictures and the characters are false leads . maybe you 're too invested in your theory to see what 's in front of you . jason : okay , what 's in front of me ? sonny : maybe the sister who julian was talking to , the one who planted the bomb that killed morgan ... is ava . [ scene_break ] julian : [ inhales sharply ] ava : hey . what is it ? julian : i 'm sorry . i ca n't tell you . [ scene_break ] sam : sighs ] [ sighs ] thank you . i really need to use the restroom . olivia : [ chuckles ] i need to take you to a gas station . sam : oh , no , no . there 's no need . my -- my friend , she lives right over the footbridge there . you see the lights ? olivia : i do n't see any lights . sam : oh , no , trust me . they 're out there . sofia and her husband -- they love their peace and quiet . he 's a cop . she works for the da 's office , so ... [ seatbelt clicks ] olivia : i ca n't let you do that . [ scene_break ] monica : to the hospital . hayden : and the quartermaines . tracy : and our associates . hayden : we make a great team . monica : hmm . [ cell phone chimes ] tracy : are we keeping you from something ? hayden : this is when , uh , finn 's plane is supposed to land . i 'll -- i 'll give him a minute , and then i 'll try and catch him on his way to his meeting with the drug company . tracy : you do know that keeping such close tabs on him is a little creepy . monica : oh , yes . [ scoffs ] if i had done that with alan ... tracy : we would n't have jason , and then where would we be ? monica : go to hell . tracy : see you there . monica : hmm . hayden : and now i 'm going to call finn and give him the good news . he can refuse the offer , turn right around , and come back to his hospital , his lab , and his precious infectious diseases . tracy : wow . the romance never ends with you . hayden : mnh - mnh . tracy : tell my backgammon partner that his winning streak is nothing . i just scored the biggest win of all . monica : you did ? tracy : we did ? monica : mm - hmm . tracy : even hayden ? monica : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] jason : look , i am not protecting ava . but if olivia is alive , and she 's responsible for your son 's death , do n't you want the right person to pay ? do you agree with me on that ? sonny : i agree . jason : okay , good . then what i want to do is i want to go find something . i 'm gon na bring it back to you , all right ? [ door opens , closes ] sonny : hey . carly : hey . what 's , uh , what 's this all about ? sonny : jason 's just trying to figure out who caused morgan 's death . carly : and you do n't think it 's ava , huh ? jason : look , i ca n't be sure either way , but i want to be absolutely sure before we , uh , move forward , right ? sonny : right . carly : yeah . right . jason : okay , i 'm gon na do some digging , and you two will be the first people i talk to when i find something . sonny : all right . jason : all right , see ya . that looks fun . carly : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] sonny : do not keep me in suspense for much longer . carly : mm . sonny : what is my surprise ? carly : there 's not going to be a surprise . [ scene_break ] sam : no offense , but the sooner i use the restroom , the happier i 'll be . olivia jerome : [ chuckles ] i ca n't let you tinkle out here in the middle of nowhere . let me drive you to the house . sam : but it 's so far . olivia : no , no , it 's not far at all . sam : no , it is , actually . the roads are n't paved , and i would n't want you to get your car stuck . olivia : your friend is n't expecting you . sam : i 'll call her on my way . olivia : what if she 's not home ? sam : well , i know where the key is . thanks again . [ drops her cell phone on the footbridge ] olivia : did you really think i would just let you walk off into the night ? you must really think i 'm stupid . sam : what are you talking about ? i was -- i was just trying to pick up my phone . olivia : no , you were underestimating me , like so many have . now that we both know where we stand , why do n't we just drop the pretense and share what we both know ? [ scene_break ] monica : well , i am going home . this is a good end to a perfectly lousy day . tracy : a lousy week . monica : [ sighs ] with any luck tomorrow , the hospital will be ours , and we can finally move on . tracy : bringing the family together , pooling our resources to take back the hospital , perfect solution . i 'm so glad i thought of it . monica : you did n't . tracy : that 's my story [ chuckles ] and i 'm sticking to it . monica : [ scoffs ] tracy : so , what did finn say when you told him the good news ? hayden : he , uh , he did n't answer his phone . tracy : he 's probably just thinking of a polite way to turn down the drug company . hayden : yeah , the thing is , um , i do n't know that he 's gon na make that meeting . i tried the hotel , and they said that he canceled his reservation . [ scene_break ] nelle : you do n't know , michael . the things that i 've done , i ... [ sniffles ] michael : hey , look , no matter what you tell me , i 'm still gon na be here . nelle : [ sighs ] when you say that , i almost believe it . well , you should believe it , because it 's true . i 'm a very terrible liar . ask anybody . nelle : [ sniffles ] michael : look . and when you forget that i 'm right about you , do n't worry because i 'll remind you . i 'm a corinthos and a quartermaine , and i got some spencer thrown in there . that means i am arrogant , determined , and i have a tendency to gloat . nelle : i 'm going to hold you to that . because i think that i am ready for a new path . michael : yeah ? nelle : yeah . michael : that 's great . that 's great . [ chuckles ] you know , not to sound selfish or anything , but , uh ... this new path of yours ... am i on it ? [ scene_break ] bobbie : i 'm so sorry for cutting that short , felicia , but carly caught me snooping . no , no , it 's okay . i managed to cover . so , tell me . have you found out anything about nelle ? [ gasps ] what ? oh , god , no . [ sighs ] god , that 's exactly what i was afraid of . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , no surprise at all ? carly : i 'm sorry . sonny : well , can you at least tell me what the surprise was gon na be ? carly : i wanted to take you to the mountains . sonny : ah . carly : remember that cabin we used to rent when the boys were little ? sonny : yeah . carly : and i thought it would be nice , you know , the two of us surrounded by woods and snow . sonny : sex by the fireplace . carly : yeah , sex by the fireplace . [ sighs ] well , we ca n't go . there 's been a blizzard in the mountains . sonny : well , see , now i wish you had n't told me . carly : well , you asked , so this ruined moment is all on you . sonny : yeah , but we do n't have to leave port charles to -- to block out the whole world . carly : but it makes so much easier . sonny : yeah , but we got everything we want . look , we got champagne . carly : we have champagne . sonny : we got the fireplace . carly : yeah . sonny : we have us . carly : we do . sonny : that 's -- that 's all we need . carly : yeah ?

[ scene_break ] sam : you 're kind of freaking me out right now . can you just give me my phone back so i can call jason , please ? olivia jerome : looks like you 've already called your dear jason . sam : of course , i did . he 's probably wondering where i am . olivia : why did n't you wait and call him from the warmth of your friend 's house right over there ? sam : you know what ? i 'm not going to stand out here in the cold and argue with you . if you 're not going to give me my phone back , just give it to my mom the next time you see her , please . olivia : that 's far enough . [ gun cocks ] olivia : turn around . sam : is that a gun ? olivia : we both know that you figured out who i am . so we just ca n't let anybody else know , can we ?

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : sonny and carly are about to go to war over their children . if you and i work together , we can -- jason : i will never work together with you . lorenzo : even to prevent michael and morgan -- jason : you 're the reason this happened . i do n't need your help , and i sure as hell do n't want you near those kids . [ scene_break ] sonny : you see , there 's really no future in this . sam : right . you -- you are mad at your wife , and i 'm the rebound girl . i get it . sonny : no , no , no . no , you do n't get it because , see -- i 'm -- i 'm going to end this because i do n't want to see you get hurt .

[ scene_break ] sam : hey , i can -- i can take care of myself . sonny : i know , i know . the easiest way to do that is just to , you know , walk out of here and not look back . sam : ok , so what are you saying ? are you -- do you want to get rid of me ? hmm ? [ sonny chuckles ] sonny : i 'm -- i 'm trying -- i 'm trying to be unselfish . obviously , i 'm not very good at it . sam : ok . so you want to keep seeing me ? sonny : well , yeah . i mean , as long as you know and understand the limitations . sam : i do . i 'm not -- i am not looking for a commitment . sonny , i do n't want to move into your home . sonny : what do you want ? sam : i want what we had before -- just an escape . that 's all . sonny : all right . well , as long as you 're clear that -- you know what 's going on and everything . sam : yeah , yeah , we 're clear . i like you , sonny , but i do not want to depend on you , much less love you , so you do n't have to worry about that . sonny : well , i 'm not -- sure , i mean , you know -- i 'm glad we -- we had this talk . sam : me , too . sam : i 'll be on my boat . ok ? sonny : wait , wait , wait , wait . you all right ? you all right ? [ scene_break ] jax : are you serious about starting over ? courtney : i 've already begun . jax : no , it 's not enough just to run away , you know . you have to have a goal , some kind of purpose . otherwise , you 'll go straight back to jason . you wo n't be able to stop yourself . [ scene_break ] georgie : hey , i did n't know you were volunteering tonight . maxie : i 'm not . i came to see you . i need to borrow some money . georgie : i spent everything i had on the hotel . maxie : look , this is really important , georgie . i 'm going to go after zander . georgie : zander ? maxie : yeah , he said he was going to run away to canada . i 'm going to go find him . georgie : zander probably died in the fire . maxie : no , scott baldwin 's body was found in the basement , which means zander got away . he said he was headed for a town called kirbyville . i mean , there 's a bridge right at the border there . georgie : look , you barely know the guy , maxie . maxie : i know him better than you think . the night of the winter formal , he was hiding in my room . georgie : you hid zander from the cops in our house ? maxie : he did n't mean to hurt anyone . he was desperate . he 'd been framed . georgie : he told you this ? maxie : ric lansing framed him , georgie . zander 's innocent . georgie : look , even if he got out , he probably does n't -- maxie : zander has a bullet wound in his leg right now , ok , and i 'm the only one that can help him . i 've emptied my savings account , but i ca n't do anything without your help . georgie : maxie , this is crazy . maxie : zander 's in trouble right now , and i 'm the only friend that he has . please , georgie , will you help me get to zander ? scott : you 're probably wondering , spencer , why i would fake my own death and leave the glory of the d.a .

[ scene_break ] jason : okay , sonny , the deal i made with the feds -- it was a one - time deal . once i give them anthony , i 'm out . i do n't want to deal with those bastards . sonny : no matter what the feds -- what assurances the feds gave you to get you to play , they have leverage over spinelli , which means they have leverage over you . it 's not good for you down the line . jason : i never wanted to run things in the first place . sonny : well , you were pretty adamant about not wanting to give it back to me . jason : how could i ? you were obsessed with revenge . you wanted to start a war . i ca n't let you start a war . and then you align yourself with the zaccharas . sonny : i had nowhere else to go . i did n't have a choice . jason : just stop , okay ? i understand that 's how you saw it . i 'm just telling you why i reacted the way i did . sonny : okay , let 's say i locate anthony . what next ? jason : you tell me . are you saying that you want the business back ? sonny : i 'm not going to lie to you -- i 've always considered the organization my own . i built it , nurtured it , carried its costs . yeah , i want it back , but i 'm not going to fight you for it , you know , anymore . jason : i 'm done fighting . sonny : that 's a 180 . jason : not really . i said i never wanted to go against you in the first place . sonny : i get it . you did n't trust my judgment . you see it different now ? jason : yeah , i think you were looking for answers and you found them . and you 're thinking clearly . if you were n't , you would 've killed anthony last night in the hospital . sonny : i did n't because you asked me to . jason : i know that . you want to know what happens next . once i find anthony , once i get spinelli away from the feds -- sonny : yeah , i 'd like to know . jason : i want my old job back . sonny : it 's been a long time since you held that position . you going to be all right taking orders from me ? jason : yeah , i 'm going to be all right . [ phone rings ] sonny : hold on . sonny : como estas , amigo ? uh - huh , esta bien . esta bien . le voy a decir a mi compadre . i located anthony . you want to find him personally ? jason : yeah , it 's got to be me . sonny : pack your bags . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , the jackal has some pretty serious ammunition in his arsenal . i could let it loose and assure that the fashion gala comes to an abrupt and premature end . lulu : spinelli , you are not sabotaging the party . spinelli : why not ? lulu : because maxie and johnny would figure it out eventually , or maxie would bat her eyelashes at you and you would tell her the truth . and we would look selfish and immature . then they would have something else to bond over and that does not sound like a good idea . does it ? spinelli : when you put it that way -- lulu : besides , we decided that this campbell 's gala is for a good cause , and , whether we like it or not , maxie and johnny are doing good work for `` go red `` and for `` crimson `` -- [ pda beeps ] lulu : here we go . spinelli : what ? lulu : i just got into the page 10 website , and they have the first press photos of maxie and johnny . i 'll send you a link . [ phone chimes ] spinelli : do you still want the jackal to refrain from raining on this unacceptable parade ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : emily was a teenager when i first met her , barely -- barely a teenager . she was best friends with elizabeth , who you met , who was in a relationship with my brother , lucky . the four of us -- we kind of got off to a rocky start , but , eventually , we bonded and ended up hanging out together , complete with traditions and customs and all that stuff , mostly centered around food for some reason . rebecca : are n't they all ? nikolas : i guess so . emily -- she had a crush on me . but she was just way too young , and i felt she was more of a kid sister to me than anything else . anyway , she went off to college and we lost touch . and then , one day , she just -- she just came back , and , all of a sudden , she was n't a kid anymore . she grew into this beautiful woman that i 'd never met before . unfortunately , she was already in love with someone else , some guy named zander . anyway , one day , she came to me , and said that she 'd been diagnosed with breast cancer , the same disease that killed her mother . and she did n't want -- she did n't want this guy , zander , to go through the hell of watching her die . so she asked me to help her push him away . you see ? it was a generous , loving gesture on my part , i thought . but it had one major flaw . i did n't have to pretend , because i was in love with her all along . [ scene_break ] robin : sorry , chez loire does not deliver , but we have other options -- campbell 's healthy request . patrick : perfect . what kind ? robin : your favorite , which also happens to be mine . patrick : see , this is what i 'm talking about . robin : as long as you 're happy . patrick : i promise we 'll go to chez loire soon , okay ? robin : or we wo n't . there 's just so many factors that play into whether or not we get to go . you know , does emma feel well or not ? can judy watch her or not ? because she 's really the only one that 's qualified to take care of her ... unless , you know , we hire a nanny . patrick : i thought you wanted to take a six - month maternity leave . robin : i 've been rethinking that . i just -- i really miss going to work . patrick : yeah , but we do n't have a work right now . remember , the hospital burned down last night . robin : you spent all day at mercy , which i 'm guessing you 'll continue to do until general is rebuilt . patrick : true , yeah . robin : so if you can do that , why ca n't i ? and if i have the choice between daycare and nanny -- patrick : robin , i just thought you were looking forward to spending time with emma . robin : why do you -- why do you have to go there ? everything is not about me having postpartum depression . patrick : i do n't recall mentioning postpartum anywhere there . robin : well , you do n't have to say it . it 's the look on your face . it 's how you look at me and it 's how you judge me . patrick : all i did was express surprise that you decided to change your mind about staying home with emma . robin : i see . so you 're the type of man who thinks that in order to be a good mom , i have to stay home with my child 24/7 . patrick : robin , i really hope that 's a rhetorical question . robin : is that why we ca n't go out tonight , because i 'm not allowed to have a life outside of my daughter ? patrick : you 're overreacting . and why are you being so defensive ? robin : why are you being so judgmental ? patrick : damn it , robin , what the hell is -- you know what , no . we 're not -- after everything we 've been through , we 're not having this fight . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you want to run screaming for the door yet ? rebecca : heh . no , finish . nikolas : okay . the chemo was just absolutely terrible for emily . it was almost worse than -- worse than the cancer . it almost killed her . i remember i could n't be in the hospital room with her , so i went into the room next door . i just sat up against the wall . she told me that she could feel me holding on to her . she said that i brought her back . i 'm sure none of this helps your opinion of me as a complete weirdo , does it ? rebecca : no , it 's beautiful . sounds like you and emily had a very powerful connection . nikolas : yeah , yes . thank you for acknowledging that . eventually , she recovered , and after some relationship complications , i asked her to marry me . she said yes . but then , of course , i got into a terrible accident and lost my memory for a while . that 's when our lives became intertwined with a couple that would put us through hell and nearly tear us apart . [ scene_break ] spinelli : how can you be so calm ? surely , these images are as disturbing to you as they are to me . lulu : it 's not like he 's feeling maxie up or anything . his hands are on her waist . spinelli : notice how closely he 's touching her . i fear the not - so - heroic mob prince is taking liberties with the trusting maximista . lulu : what ? are you kidding ? maxie 's practically crawling all over johnny . maxie : that was so amazing . johnny : i ca n't believe we actually pulled that off . maxie : you were awesome . johnny : it was all you flashing that smile of yours . spinelli : oh ! i require further clarification , please . maxie : you were brilliant -- spinelli : blonde one . maxie : everybody totally loved the dress . miranda even remembered it from the layout . she said i wore it better than natalie . johnny : wow . maxie : and that you looked cuter than colin . you did . i guess that makes this a complete and utter triumph . johnny : nice . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . jason : hey , thanks for coming . sam : well , you said it was important . so i came right away . what 's up ? jason : how you doing ? sam : um , well , my arm is a little sore -- i guess that 's what i get for dangling off the side of a burning building -- but pretty good . you ? jason : yeah , good . sam : good . and the gunshot wound ? jason : yeah , it 's -- it 's all right . sam : okay , that 's good . spinelli ? jason : spinelli -- he 's actually upstairs resting right now . that 's why i called , because i 'm going to need your help . i ca n't pull this off alone . [ scene_break ] ric : i 'm surprised to see you still here . claudia : it 's my home . where else would i be ? ric : the curb comes to mind . claudia : sorry to disappoint you . what 's your excuse ? ric : i 'm just here to see my brother . claudia : well , i do n't recommend it . i mean , i would n't waste my time if i were you . he never trusted you , and sitting at anthony zacchara 's right hand did n't exactly help your case . i mean , my father is out , so you 're out with him . ric : meanwhile , here you are , huh ? what do you think , sonny 's going to all of a sudden feel some sort of obligation to you , claudia , because you told him that anthony shot kate ? how 's that all supposed to work ? is sonny going to magically all of a sudden trust you , and is he going to show some sort of loyalty and support for you ? do n't count on it . i told you before . you are getting none of the above . the only reason sonny has n't booted you out so far and divorced you is he just has n't gotten around to it yet . sonny : wrong again , ric . not that it 's any of your business , but why would you show up here uninvited , again , trying to bully my wonderful , loyal wife ? ric : are you defending claudia ? well , i got to say , i did n't see that coming . sonny : well , claudia 's my wife . i wo n't have her disrespected in her own home . ric : oh , no , i just did n't think that the marriage was going to last is all . so the only reason that you married claudia in the first place was to cement your alliance with anthony , and now that alliance is no longer necessary . sonny : why are you so interested in the state of my marriage ? do you want to pick up the pieces ? claudia : okay , that 's not happening . that 's -- ric : oh , really ? do n't ever say never . after all , when sonny decides to dump you , you 're going to need a place to land . sonny : what do you want , ric ? how do we move this faster ? let me -- let me do it for you . you 're here to mend fences , or you 're here to convince me that you were never loyal to anthony , but do n't worry , 'cause you will be loyal to me . ric : no , i 'm loyal to what benefits me , and at the moment , that just happens to be you . look , i just wanted to have a conversation with you straight up . you know , no muddying the waters with talk of nobility or loyalty or code or honor or any of that stuff . that 's all jason 's deal , and after all , look at how that bit you in the ass . [ scene_break ] maxie : well , tonight could n't have gone any better if we had planned it ourselves . lulu : yeah , i 'm going to have to disagree with that . the night could have actually gone a whole lot better if the dress was worn to the `` go red `` fashion show by the original celebrity intended to wear it , and before you break your arm patting yourself on the back , you might want to remember that we set this whole thing into motion without kate 's knowledge or approval to try and mitigate a huge screw - up that she still does n't even know about . maxie : wow , thanks for reminding me , miss negativity . lulu : i am just stating the facts . maxie : well , why do n't you point them out to johnny here , 'cause i 'm out of here . lulu : okay , where are you going ? maxie : to hang out with someone who appreciates the concept of riding a wave of good feeling while it lasts . thanks for the assist . johnny : quite the pleasure . lulu : so , i was a total bitch , right ? you can say it . johnny : you were maybe a little harsh , but something tells me that it was n't directed at maxie . it was more for me . [ scene_break ] patrick : last night in the middle of all that chaos , i never lost thought of you and emma . you 're all i could think about , how much i loved you . i would make a deal with the devil himself to make sure that you were safe and that i could come home and hold you both again . and robin , we 're here . we 're safe , we 're warm in our new house , and i do n't want to take a big , ugly red marker and draw across what should be a joyful night by fighting with you . robin : i do n't want to fight , either . i mean if there 's anything we learned from last night , it 's how precarious life can be , and how we should treasure every moment that we have together . patrick : i 'm sorry if i made you feel judged . it was n't my intention . robin : i know . patrick : and i want to support you in any way you need it . robin : but that 's not exactly fair , because ... well , i do n't live a life in which the decisions that i make affect only myself . you get to weigh in , too . patrick : well -- hey , i want you to be happy . i want you to be fulfilled , and if that means getting a nanny to help out around here , then -- then i think we should get a nanny . nikolas : the black and white ball was supposed to be a celebration of our engagement . instead , it ended up being the night emily was murdered by some madman . let me -- here . nikolas : that 's her . that 's emily . rebecca : thank you for sharing your story . it makes me understand the magnitude of your loss , and now that i 've seen emily 's picture , i can see why you wanted to tell me about her . the resemblance is striking , not superficial . i get that , but i 'm not her , i did n't know her , and i ca n't help you through your grief . nikolas : no , no , that 's not what i wanted . rebecca : i 'm sorry . i ca n't help you . nikolas : wait , that 's not -- please . [ scene_break ] johnny : lulu , if you 're pissed about maxie wearing the dress to the campbell 's gala , i guess i can ride that out , but something tells me that 's not it . you 're not like that . you 're not that kind of girl that gets bent out of shape about all that fashion girly stuff , which leaves me . all right , so tell me . tell me what i can fix that 's wrong . lulu : you are so great . i do n't deserve you . johnny : that 's for me to decide . lulu : i 'm sulking . i hate to admit it , but i am sulking about something very stupid . johnny : what ? lulu : how easy maxie and you are together , and how you became her hero last night . i know that sounds so selfish . i 'm so happy that you were able to save robin and emma , and it 's stupid for me to be insecure . johnny : stop blaming yourself for how you feel , okay ? i just saw a different side to maxie that i did n't know was there before , and i like her . not that way -- as a friend . it could never be more than that , because there 's one woman that i love , no matter what 's going on with us , and that 's you .

[ knock on door ] [ door opens ] diane : hi . alexis : hi . diane : i am here to vent about a certain stubborn client of mine who insists on sending himself to prison for the rest of his life . hi , kristina . kristina : it 's okay . i know you 're talking about my dad . i 'll be in my room . oh , and by the way , i hope you lose this time . my dad deserves to rot in prison . diane : bad time ? alexis : she 's mad at her father , and i do n't blame her . actually , i think there 's something else going on with her , too , but i think i 'm gon na have to wait for her to be ready to talk about it . sit . diane : oh , the mysteries of the teenage mind . makes one glad not to be a parent . alexis : well , thanks a lot . diane : well ... alexis : what 's going on with sonny now ? diane : he is intent . he 's intent on spending the rest of his life in prison . that is , unless you step up .

[ both laugh ] johnny : laying low is definitely one of our specialties . olivia : how about we make a pact ? johnny : what 's that ? olivia : we make a pact not to ever lose track of this . right , what 's good . what we have . let 's not ever let anything mess that up , okay ? johnny : count me in . you know , it 's nice seeing you like this . happy and relaxed for once , like when we first met . olivia : yeah . i 've just been so stressed . johnny : i know . olivia : and so worried about dante for so long . it 's like i forgot what it was just to be us or just to be me . i 'm not saying that everything 's all right or perfect by any stretch . i mean , my kid is still in a world of hurt . and he blames me . it 's gon na take a long time to fix that . but ... it 's like the first time in my life that i 'm out from under all the secrets and the lies . and i got ta say , it feels pretty damn good . johnny : here 's to us being happy again , huh ? olivia : and whatever 's next . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal would like to offer his humble assistance in your preparation for mr. sir 's upcoming trial . i 've obtained all the evidence the prosecution will use to attempt to prove his guilt . so i figured if we worked together , perhaps we could prepare you for any curveballs that might be thrown your way . sam : okay . that 's probably a good idea . it might be smart to be ready for anything . spinelli : okay , well , the prosecution will undoubtedly try to poke holes in the official statements given by you and the valkyrie . and i do feel i should point out that if mr. sir does decide to make the ultimate sacrifice for michael and claim responsibility for claudia 's murder , then if you lie to support his story , you 'll be committing perjury . sam : ca n't wait . jason : spinelli , get on your -- okay , you 're on your computer . one of our shipments was hijacked from pier 52 . i need the security footage in that area right now as soon as you can , please . sam : was anyone hurt ? jason : no , everything 's okay . shipment 's gone . whoever did it got away . and i have one possible lead , and i really hope that i 'm wrong about it .

[ diane laughs ] diane : okay . alexis : my decision is final . diane : fine . your loss . and probably sonny 's . alexis : look , i will be available to give you advice on how to approach this case anytime you call . diane : there is no case . there 's not going to be any kind of a defense unless sonny keeps his mouth shut and lets me handle it . alexis : what do you mean ? diane : the prosecution 's case against sonny is circumstantial , but he seems hell - bent on admitting that he killed claudia , leaving me with the nearly impossible task of proving that his actions were justifiable . and so far , i have been unable to change his mind . alexis : what do you want me to do ? diane : it 's very simple , alexis . as an experienced attorney , but more importantly , as the mother of sonny 's daughter -- alexis : oh . diane : uh - huh . you are in the best position to convince sonny just what a horrible mistake he would be making . alexis , i can not win this case unless sonny sticks to his original statement and claims he had nothing to do with claudia 's death . [ scene_break ] dante : i 'm sorry you had a bad relationship with your mother . i 'm just not a believer that everything 's determined by genetics . i think people are in charge of their own actions , regardless of who your parents are . maxie : okay , but you ca n't deny that people inherit other things from their parents , like blue eyes , allergies , bald spots . it 's not too far - fetched to think personality traits are on that list . dante : okay , i just believe people make their own decisions about how they treat people . okay , i grew up believing a lie , that my mother did n't know who my father was because there was all these guys she was with that used her and dumped her . i mean , i grew up not knowing who my father was . maxie : and now you know that it 's sonny . dante : right . she lied about that , but what she did n't lie about was how she was treated . and i took some lessons from that . maxie : such as ? dante : well , you do n't tell a woman what you think she wants to hear just so you can rope her in and then walk away when you 've gotten what you wanted . you do n't make promises you have no intention of keeping . and you do n't tell someone you love them if you do n't really mean it . maxie : well , if you 're for real , i can see why lulu likes you . but if you 're lying and you 're just stringing her along , i 'll make sure that you end up miserable and alone . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] lulu : i ca n't control what dante does for a living . yes , he 's a cop . and i know that 's not high on your list of approved professions , but i 'm with him because of the way he treats me and the way he makes me feel . and i know that he loves me as much as i love him . luke : okay , i hope that 's true . i really do . i hope he 's not just stringing you along . but that 's for you to figure out , not me . and as far as sonny goes , i happen to know that he loved many of the women he was with , with a few possible exceptions . tracy : sonny only cares about himself . and what if dante is just like him ? ethan is scarily like you . ethan : i would really appreciate being left out of this conversation . thank you very much . lulu : you 're wrong about dante . and i really do n't think it 's fair for you to project all of sonny 's bad qualities onto him , because they 're very different people . and dante still plans on putting sonny in prison , by the way . tracy : why did he lie about sonny shooting him ? lulu : you know what i think ? i think this is actually pointless because you 've obviously made up your mind about dante , which is ridiculous . i would like you to give him a chance , but tell you the truth , i really do n't care either way . tracy : would you talk some sense into her , please ? luke : my daughter 's love life is her business . period . lulu : thank you . and i appreciate your concern , no matter how annoying it may be , but now that i 've heard you , i think it might be best if you just tried to stay out of it . okay ? lucky : hi . lulu : really ? um , if you 're here to join the chorus to tell me how i should stay away from dante , you 're too late . lucky : believe me , i 'm not qualified to give anyone relationship advice at this point . i wish you the best . i actually like dante . lulu : good answer . thank you . bye . ethan : i swear to you , i had nothing to do with this . and who lulu dates is none of my concern . lucky : what about the hijacked corinthos shipment on pier 52 , you know anything about that ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : all signs indicate that it was indeed the mob prince who hijacked the shipment . sam : yeah . what was johnny thinking ? spinelli : well , between the footage i 've now obtained of his car leaving the scene and the shell casing that stone cold found matching the caliber of johnny 's weapon of choice , it seems pretty apparent he was looking to be caught . it was an act of defiance on his part . an opening salvo , as it were . sam : i just feel bad for jason because he actually likes johnny . he respected him . and i think he 's given him quite a few breaks already . spinelli : yes , very true . it 's not often , perhaps i should say never , that someone can just walk away from the corinthos organization after silently scheming to end mr. sir 's reign . sam : yeah . but jason kind of felt like he owed johnny . but you 're right . spinelli : stone cold is in a difficult position . i mean , disloyalty can not be tolerated . but i do feel sympathy for the mob prince . it was not so long ago that he put himself directly in the line of fire to save my life . sam : yeah . i just do n't understand what the sudden turn around is , and why would johnny want to go after jason and sonny ? spinelli : i think the mob prince has been spiraling out of control since the death of his sister , and it 's now pretty clear that he 's chosen the most dangerous path of seeking retribution . sam : yeah , it 's sad . and not very smart unless johnny has a death wish . spinelli : i think his vision is tainted by thoughts of revenge . but i fear that this activity will result in the direst of consequences . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , honey , i do n't think i 've ever had anything quite this fancy before . johnny : it 's not too flashy , is it ? olivia : no . no , it 's beautiful . it 's beautiful . i feel like the queen of england or something . johnny : well , you 're my queen . you know , maybe i should hire you some servants or something . or i could be your servant . shall i draw you a bath , madame falconeri ? olivia : that sounds very tempting . of course , i have a feeling that you 're just trying to get me out of this blanket . johnny : maybe . but keep the necklace on , huh ? [ knock on door ] johnny : uhh .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : wow . to what do i owe this spontaneous and impressive demonstration of affection ? maxie : there 's no reason . i just love you . you 're honest and trustworthy . spinelli : i like to think so . [ chuckles ] something seems amiss . maxie : i 'm just -- i 'm worried about lulu . i went to see dante at the hospital . just to make sure that his intentions for her are real because i 'm scared lulu might be getting in too deep with dante . i mean , now that we know he 's sonny 's son , that changes everything . spinelli : how so ? maxie : spinelli , sonny 's like the biggest player in town . think of how many women he 's been through . what if dante is exactly like him and lulu just ends up getting her heart broken ? spinelli : okay , your efforts at being a concerned friend are very noble , but i think this is an instance where the original blonde one has to make her own decisions . maxie : i know that . i 'm just worried about her because i know how difficult it is for lulu to put herself out there like that , you know , to put her heart on the line for anyone because she 's been burned so many times . it 's really nice to know that i do n't have to worry about that . it 's a comforting feeling to know that my heart is safe with you , spinelli . spinelli : i think it 's a matter of finding your soul mate . that 's when everything becomes clear . it was n't until i acknowledged my feelings for maximista that i found clarity and certainty . maxie : i found my certainty , too . you 're the love of my life . i do n't ever want to lose you . [ scene_break ] alexis : you can not allow sonny to perjure himself if he did in fact kill claudia . diane : how did you get your win record being such a stickler for the rules ? alexis : you need to shift your focus from sonny lying to how you 're gon na get him acquitted . have you considered emotional duress ? diane : okay , i plan to argue that sonny found claudia waving a gun at carly and sam and that he acted to protect those two women , including carly 's newborn baby . alexis : see , i think that 's potentially a very bad mistake because the prosecution is then going to call carly as a witness . and you do not want that woman anywhere near the stand . diane : sonny disagrees . he thinks she 'll make a very compelling witness . alexis : well , i disagree with sonny disagreeing because she is not only arrogant , she is unpredictable . and it 's gon na be a problem for your testimony . diane : look , i did not come here to argue legal strategy with you . if you can not or will not convince sonny to deny that he killed claudia , well , then i guess i 'm done here . besides , you 're not a member of my firm , so you do n't really get a say . oh , did i show you this bag ? kate gave me this as well . it matches the shoes . is n't it delicious ? okay , i 'll call you later . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] ethan : i went to the pier to meet with carlos , 'cause as you know , luke is fresh out of cuban cigars . and when i got there , i heard gunshots . and that 's when i stumbled across two of sonny 's thugs . they were none too happy to see me , so i left . and that 's the end of the story . lucky : end of the story . you both know more than you 're saying , but you 're not gon na talk to the cop , are you ? luke : you know the rules , son . lucky : yes , i do . and i would n't have it any other way . [ scene_break ] lulu : have you ever lied to me ? besides claiming to be a mobster when you really were a cop ? dante : let me guess , you just talked to maxie . lulu : no . why ? was she here ? dante : yeah , she dropped in to question me again about my intentions for you . i guess in her eyes now that i 'm sonny 's son , i 'm nothing but a lying playboy who does n't respect women . so i will be taking what i need from you and breaking your heart , just so you know . lulu : she had no right to say that . dante : look , maxie , she was just trying to be a good friend . it was harmless . i think i set her straight anyway . but if it was n't maxie , who was it ? [ lulu sighs ] lulu : tracy had a few choice words to say about you . no , really actually it was just about sonny . dante : and about how i 'm gon na be just like him , right ? lulu : what she said did not make me doubt you for a second . she just , she went off about sonny and how he treats women . it 's not like she 's wrong . i 've seen what carly 's been through over and over again . something bad happens and then carly claims it 's over , and then sonny works his magic and reels her right back in again . dante : and no matter how much you deny it , deep down you 're afraid i 'm gon na be just like him . dante : it 's okay , you can be honest with me . if you have any doubts about me or you do n't think you can trust me , you can say so . lulu : i 'm relationship challenged . it 's not something that i 've had success with , like , ever . dante : well , there 's a first time for everything . lulu : but i 'm sure you 've noticed with this kind of stuff i 'm like a little gun - shy . dante : what ? no . you ? come on . lulu : i 'm trying to be serious here . dante : okay , i 'm sorry . lulu : it 's just that when people say you 're too good to be true , intellectually i know that they 're wrong because they do n't know you like i know you . but i have this feeling -- i do n't know , this part of me that reminds me that i 've been here before and ... it 's not gon na last because it never has . dante : i know how we 're gon na fix this . lulu : really ? dante : yeah . i 'm gon na take a lie detector test . and you 're gon na give it to me . i 'll teach you all the tell - tale signs they told me when i became a cop , when you 're interviewing your suspect and you 're trying to figure out if he 's lying or not . you can ask me any question you want . lulu : okay . but how do i know that you 're not lying about the tell - tale signs ?

[ scene_break ] [ indistinct chatter ] michael : hey . carly : hey . michael : you okay ? carly : yeah , i 'm fine . look , i told the truth as i knew it . your dad made a decision , now we all have to live with it . michael : all right . i love you , mom . carly : oh , i love you , too . okay . jax : i knew you 'd try to pull something like this . carly : i bet you 're all kinds of disappointed it did n't work . [ scene_break ] olivia : yo . son . am i a grandma or not ? dante : i never slept with brenda , ma . i said i was the father to protect her . i gave up my rights . i thought that was going to be the end of it . olivia : dante , do not lie to me about this . dante : i swear to you , ma . i did not sleep with her , okay ? i 'd never walk away from my own child . you know that , right ? biggest mistake was turning this whole thing into a secret . olivia : okay , look , i understand a woman feeling that she has to lie to protect her own child . but i still think that your new stepmother took terrible advantage of you . [ scene_break ] suzanne : i best get back to the wedding . my absence will be conspicuous . theo : i agree . suzanne : i doubt anyone missed me at the ceremony . i will be the loyal and contrite friend at the reception . theo : that will be very effective . suzanne : theo , i 'm ... i 'm sorry . i should have told you about this long ago . i wanted to avoid causing you pain . as always . your health is so precarious . i ... i just wanted to avoid you going through the shock of finding out brenda had miscarried our grandchild . theo : i understand . suzanne : i hate leaving you here . this place is so dank and musty . theo : oh , caves are very effective hiding places . i 'm fine . suzanne : well , when this is all over , let 's go some place warm and tropical . theo : hurry along . you provide the diversion of the wedding reception , and i will take care of everything and everyone else . [ scene_break ] jason : you and theo could be setting me up . shawn : i botched the job . brenda 's a married woman instead of being tied up on a boat waiting for theo . he 's going to want to make me pay for that . sam : why should we trust you ? shawn : i have a code . i missed the objective to avoid making your friend carly a witness . i 've helped your little sister molly . and since you wo n't let me walk , it 's to my advantage to help you get theo . sam : okay , theo is not going to show up to pine barrens without a lot of fire power . and this guy could turn on you at any second . jason : i understand that . but if we act fast , we can grab theo and this whole thing 's going to be over with . and right now , i 'm willing to take that risk . sam : fine , jason , if that 's how you want to play it . that 's fine . jason : anything goes wrong , you 're dead . [ scene_break ] johnny : are you hiding out from the wedding ? maxie : just could n't put myself through it . i got invited as a courtesy to robin . she 's the matron of honor . but i have to lie enough for professional reasons . i do n't really see a reason to rejoice that brenda finally got her man . johnny : so you 're ducking spinelli . maxie : you always understood me a teeny bit too well . johnny : back at you . maxie : just , i really ca n't sit there and watch spinelli moon over brenda after he 's been waiting on her hand and foot for months . not that she appreciates it . johnny : am i sensing a hint of jealousy ? maxie : not jealousy . maybe regret . that i made such a mess of our non- marriage . and i 'm with matt now and we 're doing really good . i do n't want to rub that in spinelli 's face . johnny : you 're a kind person , maxie . you always have been . maxie : let 's not get too carried away . i still ca n't stand brenda . ugh , robin thinks that brenda and sonny have this great love that ca n't be denied . whatever . as long as it keeps her distracted from patrick and that bitch from hell . johnny : lisa just wants what she wants . ca n't fault her for that , can you ? maxie : i 'm sorry . are you defending her ? [ scene_break ] carly : well , no reason not to enjoy the party . how long do you think they 're going to open those doors and we can have some cake ? morgan : hopefully soon . carly : i know , right ? [ scene_break ] edward : you should have come to me the minute you found out you were in trouble , brenda . the family would have helped . you certainly did n't need to depend on dante falconeri , for god sake . brenda : oh , edward . well , that 's over now . anyway , i do n't want to think about anything else right now other than being sonny 's wife . happy tears for lila , just like she wanted . edward : that 's right , that 's hers . [ scene_break ] carly : ah , look , if you are beating yourself for what happened in there , i want you to stop . spinelli : the truth has come to light , but the jackal wonders if any of us are better for it . carly : sometimes you ca n't save people from themselves . i told sonny the truth . he wanted brenda , he still married her , fine . he has to deal with the rude awakening . spinelli : so you see no chance at happiness ? carly : no . [ laughs ] have you seen jason ? i think he slipped out during the ceremony . spinelli : yeah , as did fair samantha . i fear that beneath the veneer of wedding celebration , all is not well . [ scene_break ] luke : well , i have to say you handled the fireworks from your ex and all the other surprises with a lotta class . and you have a beautiful wife and the wedding was terrific . sonny : you knew what carly was planning from the beginning , did n't you ? but you know what , you were trying to tell me . but i just ... luke : no , you did n't want to hear it . i understand . that 's your prerogative , so ... brenda : well , she failed anyway , so it does n't matter . we got married . we 're going to stay married for the rest of our lives . right , honey ? [ sonny and brenda laugh ] luke : very nice . congratulations to both of you . sonny : yeah . brenda : thanks for coming . [ scene_break ] tracy : so did you really know all about that before the wedding ? luke : yeah . tracy : uh - huh . and did it occur to you to mention anything to lulu ? luke : look , it 's not my place in life to run around preempting my adult children 's possible heartbreaks . tracy : well , at least she sees the corinthos in dante . once a liar , always a liar . luke : well , do n't get your hopes up . she 's got a marshmallow heart . just the right sob story , she could be back in his arms . tracy : hmm . is that the technique you used with me ? [ luke chokes , laughs ] [ scene_break ] lulu : so were you ever planning on telling me ? carly : would you have believed me if i did ? i confronted brenda before the ceremony . she had every opportunity to leave . no one ever had to know the truth . lulu : well , i 'm glad i know . i just need to figure out what i want to do . [ scene_break ] morgan : at least no one can accuse this family of being boring . kristina : yeah , there 's definitely a lot of drama . molly : well , i think that 's what made the wedding so beautiful . i mean , the terrible revelation , the bride storming out , the groom opening his heart up to her right in front of everyone . all the while knowing that the real danger is almost completely over . brenda : that 's right . michael : what do you mean , danger ? molly : well , just that we should n't worry about danger after such a perfect wedding . brenda : because we 're all here together now . we 're family ! brenda : right , baby ? sonny : yeah . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu . [ scene_break ] sonny : sorry , everybody , for waiting . brenda : yes , please join us for the reception . sonny : yeah . sonny : somebody 's coming behind you right now . brenda : hey ! spinelli : hi . if jackal could offer his sincerest congratulations . sonny : can you make it fast ? brenda : hey . sonny : i 'm just ... brenda : thank you , spinelli . thank you so much for helping with the wedding . do n't tell carol i said this , but i 'm so happy that you hired her . she turned out perfect . spinelli : in the words of lord byron ... sonny : oh , god . brenda : honey ! spinelli : above all pain , yet pitying all distress . at once , such majesty with sweetness blending . i worship more but can not love thee less . sonny : is that it ? is -- i 'm just curious . spinelli : may your love always be stronger than anger . especially towards those , who even with the best of intentions , sought to thwart your union . brenda : wait , what was that other -- did you just defend carly ? sonny : the truth had to come out . we 're going to get through that . get past it . move on . spinelli : i wish many years of joy to the triumphantly we d mr. and mrs. sir . huzzah . okay . brenda : [ laughs ] he is funny . i mean , he will be the only thing i 'm going to miss about moving to jason 's penthouse . i 'm going to ask him to move in with us , i think , at the woods . sonny : no . you want to scare your husband ? [ brenda laughs ] sonny : on your wedding day . look at this . brenda : wow . it looks perfect . oh , my gosh . look , baby . [ scene_break ] kristina : so . what did you think of the wedding ? ethan : oh , well , at least they 'll remember it . which is more than i can say for maya and myself . kristina : you do n't remember your own wedding ? ethan : oh , well , only bits and pieces . we were in vegas , after all . and we were just supposed to chaperone luke and tracy to the altar , and , yeah . kristina : is n't that a little unnerving ? ethan : no , no . but i do vaguely recall propping luke up and saying `` i do `` for him , and i guess maya did the same thing with tracy . and , well , the reverend got confused , put the wrong names on the certificate . kristina : well , ca n't you get it annulled ? ethan : yeah , we were going to , but then edward approached us with this offer . if we stay married for a year , we get to split a million dollars . kristina : wow . why would he do that ? ethan : well , he wants to groom me to take over elq , but it 's not going to happen . corporate plunder is not really my thing . but maya could use the money to pay off her student loans , help her sister out , so happy to help . kristina : oh , that 's nice of you to stay married to a woman you do n't really love . [ scene_break ] patrick : you know , it 's okay to cry at weddings . you do n't have to hide out here . robin : well , i am the matron of honor , you know . i 'm supposed to be the one that holds it together . patrick : you look beautiful . robin : thank you . i ca n't help myself . i cry at weddings . patrick : well , it runs in the family , 'cause i remember your mom bawling her eyes out at our first wedding . robin : i know . she did . and after that long delay when i was waiting for you . and everyone else had decided that you were n't going to show up . i knew that you would . and then emma had to make her grand entrance . i guess she did n't want to miss the wedding , either . patrick : yeah , that grand entrance in our second , our real wedding , they 're the best days of my life . robin : me , too . and i ca n't believe that my dad walked me down the aisle . and you looked exceptionally handsome . that was a perfect day . patrick : robin , are you sorry that you married me ? [ scene_break ] johnny : you know , lisa 's not the first woman to go after a married man . you know a thing or two about that , right ? maxie : so i went after lucky in another life . i did n't boil cam 's toy in a beaker . and i did n't push elizabeth down a well . johnny : i 'm not judging you . i 'm just saying that lisa has her side of the story . she 's in love with patrick . patrick knew that . he slept with her and then he dumped her . maxie : are you insane ? lisa should be locked up ! johnny : lisa 's only crime is falling in love with the wrong man , like my sister did . and she died for it . i 'd hate to see the same thing happen to lisa . maxie : come on , johnny . i 've been accused of doing some really bad things in my life , but lisa makes me look like an amateur . i mean , she 's obsessed with patrick . she will do whatever it takes to get robin out of the way . she 's really smart , and she knows how to cover her tracks . that 's why she has n't been caught yet . lisa : tell one more lie about me , maxie . go ahead . i 'll make sure you regret it . [ scene_break ] shawn : you know , the gun is n't really necessary . sam : yeah , well , we do n't have time for you to try and take me hostage again , because i 'd have to blow your brains out . unless , of course , jason got to you first . and that would really slow us down . shawn : you 're a pretty impressive team . sam : thank you . hey , listen , i just need 2 seconds so i can change . i ca n't go running around there in heels . jason : no , i need you to wait . sam : wait , what are you talking about ? we 're backing theo into a corner . you ca n't go into it with a guy who switched sides a half hour ago . jason : i know , but i need someone i can trust to keep an eye on things at the reception . sam : jason , there 's wall to wall security there . you 're the one that needs back - up . come on . we 've got to stick together on this . [ scene_break ] steve : feeling better ? olivia : well , i think the shock of sudden almost grandmahood is just setting me off . steve : well , if it had been true , you 'd be the most gorgeous grandma ever . [ scene_break ] edward : lila would love this . brenda : aw . well , sonny and i are going to be just as happy as you and lila were , forever . molly : brenda ! brenda : yeah . molly : we 're about to take the first official family photos . come on . brenda : oh , my god . okay , i 'll be right back . edward : all right . tracy : so , how long you give it ? edward : i 'd end this debacle this instant if i could . that gangster is going to be the end of brenda , trust me . tracy : lulu 's the one i 'm worried about . edward : oh , she 's a spencer . she can take care of herself . tracy : you sound like luke . edward : well , that was uncalled for . [ scene_break ] brenda : wow . jax : hey . brenda : hey . jax : beautiful cake . and you are an absolutely beautiful bride . brenda : aw , thanks for coming . jax : i wish you every happiness . i really mean that . brenda : really ? jax : yes . brenda : oh ! [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : ahh . you leaving ? carly : [ laughs ] no , i 'm waiting for the wedding cake . and i thought i 'd stay so you could thank me . sonny : ah . [ scene_break ] sam : for all you know , shawn could be leading you into an ambush . jason : yeah , but why should you be put in danger ? sam : jason , i have a really strong feeling we should stick together on this . jason : i 'm just saying , for covering the wedding , i can focus . there 's no way i 'm going to give theo the opportunity to take you out . sam : fine . i 'll go to the wedding . be careful . jason : i will . let 's go . sam : jason . i 'll see you soon . jason : yeah . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] sonny : did it ever occur to you to bring that document to me when you found it ? carly : i almost did . sonny : right , right . when you come to me and tell me not to marry brenda and you would be clutching your purse like you had a gun in there and you wanted to shoot me . carly : i went to brenda instead . i gave her the option of leaving . sonny : i 'm so glad she did n't . carly : well , as long as you 're happy . sonny : ha , come on , you do n't mean that . carly : i do . i really want you to be happy . yes , of course . sonny : even if being happy means being with brenda . carly : okay , i said i wanted you to be happy . let 's not push it . sonny : okay , you know what , you made it possible for me and brenda to get married without any secrets . so for that , i thank you . [ scene_break ] brenda : oh , he 's so lucky to have you for a son . i loved your speech . morgan : thank you . you 're going to be the coolest stepmom ever . brenda : oh , i hope so . oh , hi , i 'll be back to you guys , okay ? suzanne : congratulations . brenda : thank you . suzanne : this is so wonderful . you 've helped children all over the world and now you have your own family . brenda : yeah . suzanne : i am really sorry that i tried to prevent this wedding from taking place . i hope we can be friends again one day . brenda : what are you talking about ? we 're friends now . it 's just that , you know , this marriage was inevitable . so , anyway , if sonny and i can survive you and carly , that means we can survive anything , right ? [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] luke : so am i totally insane or did i see you kiss and make up with caroline ? sonny : oh , no , no , no . luke : was that the kiss of death , then ? sonny : could be . no , you know what , carly 's who she is . she 's not going to change . it 's time to just move on , you know . luke : well , you 're more forgiving than i 'd be . are you turning buddhist ? sonny : for a second , you know , i almost lost it , but then when dante got up and explained everything , it made sense . luke : yeah , i really thought you were going to let her go . sonny : it was a huge secret . she should have told me . and there was a time in my life when i would have just ... i would n't have been able to get past it . luke : well , you are evolving , my friend . sonny : well , you know what , i realized that i do n't want to spend the rest of my life missing her , you know . i 'd rather spend the rest of my life loving her . [ scene_break ] dante : wow , you must really have it in for me still for sending michael to pentonville . carly : you think that 's why i told everyone the big secret ? 'cause of you ? i care about sonny . i did n't want sonny making a huge mistake . dante : ah , so , you exposing me as a liar to lulu , that 's just , what , collateral benefit ? carly : if lulu breaks up with you , that would be collateral benefit . dante : unbelievable . well , you know what , carly , i do n't care if you do n't believe me . i love lulu and i 'm not going to lose her . [ scene_break ] steve : it 's great how you defend him no matter what . olivia : well , i 'm his mother . that 's what mothers do . steve : so is there any chance that you can stop worrying and enjoy yourself ? olivia : well , with your help , i think i might just be able to manage . [ scene_break ] robin : no , i do n't regret marrying you . i mean , at the very least , we have a beautiful little girl . patrick : hmm . i promised to love you and emma for the rest of my life , and that 's not going to change . no matter what the mistakes i 've made or -- robin : we do n't need to talk about that right now . patrick : you 're right . this is a wedding . we should party . robin : yes . but tonight , it 's not about us . it 's about sonny and brenda . patrick : so you 're saying yes . robin : look , i am so grateful to you . i mean , you 've completely changed my life . you challenge me . you gave me the kind of life that i never thought i could have . patrick : so it 's a date . no , you know what , you 're right . let 's not call it a date . let 's just say we showed up at the same wedding -- robin : patrick , i ca n't do it . i 'm sorry . patrick : but you want to say yes , i can tell . robin : i 'm just not ready for that kind of thing , okay ? patrick : i love you . it 's never going to go away . robin : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] maxie : i 'm not afraid of you . lisa : maybe you should be . maxie : why ? are you going to try and boil me in some beaker or try to shoot me up with something , like you did to robin ? lisa : i never tried to hurt robin . maxie : she 's crazy and she 's lying . johnny : take it easy . lisa : okay , you know what , you 're embarrassing yourself , maxie , so maybe you should go sit down . maxie : so ? you 're a pathetic bitch ! matt : all right , ladies , ladies , all right . you stay the hell away from maxie . lisa : i have a right to defend myself , matt . maxie : did you hear that ? i think that was a threat . matt : okay , maybe you 're after robin , maybe not , i do n't know . but if anything happens to her -- some sort of freak accident , a fire , i swear to god , you will have to deal with me . lisa : okay . so you 're just going to sit there all night ? johnny : what ? i was defending you . lisa : well . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm not talking to you . luke : now , caroline . carly : how could you let max and milo kidnap me from kelly 's and do nothing ? you just stood there . luke : baby , i knew you could handle tweedledum and tweedledee . carly : hmm . luke : i do wish i 'd taken another closer look at that document you were waving around , though . carly : why ? sonny may buy dante 's song and dance , but i expect more from you . luke : i 'm reserving judgment . i have to say , though , caroline , uncle luke is very impressed , once again . you 're talented . carly : thank you . luke : you ever want to learn the art of the con , look no further . i 'm your man . i could put you in touch with your inner spencer . we could do some damage if the right project ever came along . [ scene_break ] tracy : lulu does n't want to see you . leave her alone . dante : that 's not going to happen . tracy : look , if you really loved her , you would have made a full disclosure the minute brenda showed up in town . do the right thing . leave her alone . [ scene_break ] johnny : when i woke up this morning , you were gone . lisa : yeah , i got paged . a kid broke his arm in three places learning to snowboard . and i went back to your place but you were gone by then . so i thought you 'd probably be here . johnny : so you 're stalking me now . sorry . bad joke . lisa : well , the wedding is over by now . and i did n't think that you should be alone , considering what sonny did to your sister . but , you know , if you 'd rather wallow , feel free . johnny : no . i 'm glad that you found me . [ scene_break ] maxie : so when did johnny and lisa get so close ? matt : what , you do n't know ? they 're a regular item now . maxie : she 's obsessed with patrick . why would she go after johnny zacchara ? matt : well , you see , it 's more like zacchara just shows up to the hospital and just drags her out of there . yeah . maxie : why would he do that ? she tried to inject something into robin 's i.v . he knows that . he was there . matt : all right , maxie , the cops did their search on the entire floor . they never found the syringe . it 's done . [ johnny and lisa laugh ] maxie : oh , my god . it 's so obvious . matt : what ? maxie : well , i practically ran over johnny that night i was chasing lisa around the hospital . she must have handed it off to him . that 's why nobody could find it . matt : whoa , whoa , hey , hey , are you talking about the syringe ? maxie : yes ! he 's probably blackmailing her ! matt : why ? why ? it 's not like zacchara ca n't get a date or something ! maxie : johnny loves to push everything to the limit . i mean , lisa is dangerous . she 's just as crazy as his sister . oh , my god , claudia . matt : what ? you lost me again . maxie : no , do n't you see that johnny , like , blames himself ? he could n't save claudia so now he 's probably trying to save lisa ? matt : you do n't really believe that zacchara has that syringe , do you ? maxie : yes , i do . and you 're going to help me find it . [ scene_break ] abby : michael ! i 'm glad you 're still here . i was afraid i 'd miss the whole thing . hi . michael : hey ! how did you know i 'd be here ? abby : your dad invited me . michael : yeah ? abby : yeah . i had a job interview , though , that i could n't cancel , and then i needed to go home and change . so that 's why i 'm so late . michael : well , you look beautiful . abby : thank you . michael : how was the interview ? abby : oh , the job would be perfect for me . michael : yeah ? abby : it 's a small firm . they need a legal secretary , but they love the idea that i 'm studying to be a paralegal . they even suggested paying for some of my tuition . michael : yeah ? that 's great . abby : it was . until they asked about the gap in my resume . and then i told them that i 've worked as a stripper . they could n't get me out of there fast enough . michael : that 's not fair . abby : i 'll get something . do n't worry . michael : okay . abby : how was the wedding ? michael : the wedding ? well , let 's just say that i am really , really glad to see you . abby : i 'm glad to be here . carly : perfect . [ scene_break ] sonny : olivia . you seen dante ? olivia : well , lulu just left , if that answers your question . sonny : did he leave with her ? olivia : well , if he did , at least saving the relationship with the woman he loves trumps being your best man , so . sonny : did he say anything ? is he all right ? olivia : sonny , sonny . sonny : yeah . olivia : i know that this truth brought you and brenda closer together . but it might have cost our dante a lot more than it cost you . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : are you okay ? jax : yeah . yeah . you know , i used to get upset at carly for staying connected to sonny . i guess i 'm the one who could n't let go of the past , though . alexis : you ca n't help yourself . you 're a rescuer . that 's why you tried to save brenda . jax : yeah . and now , i 'm trying to get carly back , but she wo n't even talk to me . i have a feeling i lost her for real this time . kristina : [ laughs ] i love it . [ carly laughs ] [ scene_break ] jason : okay . this is the place . shawn : theo should be here in a couple of minutes . jason : all right you 're going to go into that clearing . and you make sure you give me a clear shot . shawn : i did n't sign up for a gunfight without a gun . all i was supposed to do was grab brenda and leave on the boat and disappear . look . i 've helped you out as much as i can , all right ? is there any possibility you can just let me walk ? jason : no . and if i think you 're setting me up , i 'm going to take both of you out . shawn : fair enough . [ scene_break ] sonny : you having fun yet ? brenda : fun would be a gross understatement . sonny : you know , who would have thought that we were on the pier , and you had those suitcases , we would end up here ? you know ? brenda : me . sonny : well , now , we got the rest of our lives to just love each other . robin : uh , excuse me , ladies and gentlemen . i would like to invite brenda and sonny to have their first dance as husband and wife .

tracy : [ sighs ] what are you talking about , daddy ? edward : you know , for years , you have paraded a stream of con men and cuckoos and killers right into my home . tracy : not your home . monica 's home , as she endlessly reminds us , because your son , alan , may he rest in peace , was an idiot when it came to women . edward : alan is a perfect example ... tracy : oh , here we go . edward : ... of your mental instability . tracy : and now i 'm mentally unstable ? edward : you were conversing with your brother 's dead ghost . tracy : it was not his ghost . uh , it -- w -- [ exhales sharply ] it was a manifestation of my subconscious . edward : that kind of hooey will land you back in shadybrook , unless this marriage puts you 6 feet under first . tracy : enough , or i 'm gon na have you committed . edward : i am looking out for your welfare . tracy : by questioning my sanity ? edward : your husband fired the opening shot there by declaring it open season . tracy : fine . let 's break out the camouflage . edward : i think that 's a good idea . when sonny comes calling , maybe shadybrook will be the safest place for you , after all . dante : i do n't think johnny shot sonny . michael : i do n't want to believe it , either , but the motive 's there . dante : yeah , but someone else had motive , too -- anthony zacchara . johnny told me he 's the one who shot me in sonny 's warehouse . sonny : i know you 're scared . kate : of course i 'm scared , sonny . you 've been shot twice in a matter of weeks . sonny : both times i barely got a scratch . kate : [ scoffs ] a scratch ?

anna : [ sighs ] it 's robin . mac : okay . anna : um ... i 'm so sorry , mac . i do n't know how to say this , but , um ... mac : what ? anna : she died . mac : no . no , anna . no . robin thought she was sick , you know ? her cocktail stopped working , her viral count was going up , and she was terrified . she thought she 'd go at it alone , but i would n't let her , you know ? she could disappear to the ends of the earth . i would find her , bring her back . anna : please , mac . mac : anna , her meds are correct now . robin 's fine . anna : no , she 's not . mac : anna , robin is not dying . anna : there was an accident . mac : what kind of accident ?

she went back into that lab , and the only person she would have done that for is jason . sam : no , that is wrong . she would have done that for anyone . that 's who robin was . patrick : do n't you dare talk about my wife like you know what she was thinking . she should be at home right now with her daughter . sam : i 'm sorry . you 're right . it is not fair . robin should be here with you and emma . no child should grow up without a parent , including mine . patrick : how dare you . sam : please . patrick : how dare you use that card right now . sam : if you do n't save jason , my child is not gon na have its father . this is our only chance . i am begging you . please . give my baby a chance to have its parents . tracy : why would sonny come after me ? i had nothing to do with it , and i 'm not even convinced that anthony did . edward : i 'm getting whiplash listening to you . is the deviant guilty or innocent ? tracy : i do n't know , but he makes a valid point . anthony would shoot to kill . edward : maybe he 's just a bad shot . tracy : i do n't know . i -- the only thing i know is that anthony would only risk his life if he had the satisfaction of ending sonny 's . edward : oh , look , you 're being far too rational . we are talking about a dangerous crime lord here . make it two of them . sonny does n't care how the whole thing started . he just will be very happy to come to war with the zaccharas , and , unfortunately , our family may be a casualty . tracy : oh , please , you 're so overdramatic . edward : well , do n't you be so naive . you made a pact with the devil . now we 're all having to pay the price for it . anthony : sonny was there ?

anthony : you 've just begun to diversify our interests . johnny : oh , wait . back up . our interests ? anthony : it 's still a family business , john , like it or not . johnny : [ chuckles ] speaking of families , dante was the intended target , and sonny 's taking this attempt about as well as he took the first one . anthony : being a cop is risky business . johnny : yeah , so is being sonny 's offspring , especially when our family 's involved . anthony : those incidents were unavoidable . johnny : yeah , whatever you say . anthony : michael was shot because claudia got too greedy . and dante -- because i had to protect you . johnny : sonny knows , and he 's under the impression you tried to finish the job tonight . anthony : you ratted me out ? johnny : let 's just say i did n't correct him . anyway ... someone said that i should give you a heads up . so heads up . anthony : [ sighs ] shawn : this might be the first time i 've seen you speechless . carly : it 's just , uh -- you and me -- wow . shawn : i 've felt this way for a while now . carly : you have a really interesting way of showing it . shawn : it did n't feel right for us to get involved when i 'm being paid to protect you . carly : you have n't been my bodyguard for a long time . shawn : i know . i -- i 've had these walls up for so long , it 's hard to let down . but little by little , you worked your way in , and i found myself telling you things i 've never told anyone . carly : i did n't really give you a choice . shawn : i should have told you how i was feeling . carly : why did n't you ? shawn : [ sighs ] i could n't , you know ? it felt too soon after jax . you needed a friend . so did i. i did n't want to mess it all up , risk losing you . you know the crazy thing ? it took t.j. , of all people , to help me realize that you were n't mine to lose , that if i ever wanted you to be , i needed to do something about it . so , um ... here i am . mac : i have to see her . anna : no , no , you ca n't . mac : did you ? anna : please . mac : did you ? anna : no . mac : then how do you know it 's robin ? maybe she 's with a patient , does n't even know that we 're worried about her . anna : the lab exploded . everything burned . mac : then how -- i 'm not gon na believe it till i see it for myself . anna : you do n't want to see her like that , do you ? mac : i do n't care ! i do n't care !

'cause i think she 'd want to be alive . she 'd want to watch her daughter grow old and have kids of her own . sam : no , i know . of course she would want that . but she also would n't want jason to die . that 's why she went back in that lab tonight . patrick : going back into that lab was a mistake . sam : really ? then how did you get the medicine , patrick ? how did you get the medicine , if she went back into that lab and she was trapped ? she gave you that medicine . she wanted you to save jason . she did . she wanted you to save him . patrick : you have no idea ... sam : you need to honor that . patrick : i do n't need to do anything . the answer is no . shawn : you know , when jason first hired me , he warned me you could be a handful . carly : me ? never . shawn : it drove me crazy how you 'd do the exact opposite of what i told you to do . carly : yeah , i 'm not really good at taking orders . shawn : yeah . then there 's me . too good at it . i got a decent man killed . carly : it was n't your fault , shawn . shawn : yeah , but i pulled the trigger , and i 've had nothing but regrets ever since , you know ? and i do n't want to have them anymore . listen , carly , i care about you more than i 've cared for anyone in a long time . carly : mm . shawn : and i think we could have something good together . but i guess i need to know is -- do you think so , too ? michael : is there anything i can do ? sonny : i 'm handling it . i do n't want you to get involved . dante : sonny , the police are handling this . sonny : do n't ask me to let anthony get away with it . dante : okay , look , johnny is gon na throw his father or grandfather or whoever the hell he is to him under the bus , especially after what he did to claudia . sonny : i do n't care . uhh ! whoa ! michael : dad , where are you going ? dante : you 're not going anywhere . do n't make me arrest you , sonny . sonny : for -- for trying to save your life ? even you would n't do that , dante . dante : no . no , but he will . mac . mac . mac : [ sighs ] dante : you okay ? mac : [ sighs deeply ] it 's robin . sonny : mac , what happened ? mac : robin 's dead . cassandra and i being together , but you need to back off . ewen : i was n't aware i was being aggressive . ethan : you just accused cassandra of lying . what would you call it ? ewen : pointing out all the options , one of them being cassandra has n't been entirely truthful -- with either of us . cassandra : you think that i 'm holding out on you ? ethan : what would she possibly have to gain from that ? ewen : you tell me . shawn : silence ... again . carly : it -- it 's just so out of the blue . shawn : you know , carly , when we first met , i was in a different place . i have n't felt anything for anyone in a long time . you know , getting to really know you put me in a complex position , because ... i started feeling ... something real , something i have n't felt for a while . oh , carly , i -- i do n't know if it 's too late . i do n't know . but ... if you still feel the same way about me ... i would very much like ... to see where we can go . okay . carly : shawn , i -- shawn : no harm done . it 's -- you , um -- you take care of yourself . carly : [ sighs ] [ exhales sharply ] [ sniffles ] johnny : you okay ? carly : yeah . uh [ chuckles ] will be .

do you know how different robin 's life would be if she never met sonny or stone ? sonny : why would you even say that , mac ? she loved him with everything she had . mac : and what did she get in return , sonny ?

that 's why she was in the lab , sonny -- getting the meds to save his sorry excuse for a life . the irony , sonny -- jason 's life is n't worth saving . his life is n't worth anything . neither is yours . dante : okay . let 's go . i 'll take you home , okay ?

spinelli : the reason ellie and i broke up was because she thought i wanted maxie back . and the truth is , i do . maxie : shawn , hi ! could you watch georgie for me for one second ? thank you . uh , um , spinelli , what are you telling nathan ? [ scene_break ] jordan : well , good luck on your midterm tomorrow . do n't stay up too late studying .

[ scene_break ] spencer : avery is so cute with a dazzling smile and dimples . sonny : yeah , she is . but i got -- you know , i 'm partial 'cause i 'm her father , right ? spencer : how could she be anything but delightful ? after all , you are her father . sonny : you 're a great kid , you know that ? spencer : only because i aspire to be like you and my father , the two greatest men i know . and if i may say ... sonny : what ? spencer : ... i 'm very happy you 're out of prison . sonny : i 'm very happy i 'm out of prison . spencer : yes . well ... ... i should go . sonny : wait , wait , wait . you did n't think i forgot , did you ? spencer : forgot ? whatever do you mean ? sonny : i 'll tell you what i mean . da - dum spencer : wait . sonny : happy birthday . spencer : wait . what is it ? do n't tell me . just give me a hint . sonny : all right . a little hint here . it 's something that you could wear to the party your father 's throwing for you .

[ scene_break ] carly : we do n't even know who jake is yet , so there 's no point in driving ourselves crazy wondering why helena picked him to be her toy soldier . sam : you 're right . i mean , jake could wind up being a total stranger . [ scene_break ] jake : so , i 'm alive ? [ clears throat ] elizabeth : told you patrick was the best . jake : and the device ? patrick : it 's gone . jake : [ sighs ] thank you . elizabeth : so , now that you 're back to the land of the living , can you tell us who you really are ? jake : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i know things are still a little fuzzy from the anesthesia . but can you tell us your real name ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : i - i - i was just -- you know , funny you should ask . nathan : yeah , you know how spinelli said that ellie could n't come with him because she had to work ? maxie : yes . nathan : yeah , that was a lie . spinelli : but not entirely . ellie is , in fact , at the lab . nathan : no , they broke up . see , ellie thinks that spinelli 's still in love with you . maxie : oh , spinelli told you that ? nathan : yeah . and that 's not all he told me . he then went on to say that ellie is right and that he is still in love with you . can you believe this ? shawn : uh , maxie , i 'm really sorry , but i have to go , okay ? you 're gon na have to take this little kid . maxie : okay , thanks . thank you . nathan : maxie , can you believe that spinelli has been hiding this from both of us ? [ scene_break ] jordan : so , the last time we spoke , you were on your way to d.c . anna : yeah . jordan : for your actions against faison . i mean , y - you gave me the impression that , you know , there 'd be a 50/50 chance you 'd be indicted . anna : right . the government decided not to pursue charges . jordan : wow . okay . well , i 'm sure you 're relieved . anna : yeah . i was very glad to hear that i was n't on my way to leavenworth . but after they closed the file , i managed to have a conversation with some of the higher - ups in justice , you know , about sloane 's actions . seems they are just as interested in what he 's up to as i am . so , they gave me his old job . jordan : you 're gon na go after sloane in official capacity , are n't you ? anna : i 'm gon na expose kyle sloane and whoever else helped him to fix that election that cost me my job . [ scene_break ] sloane : so , who is jake doe ? nikolas : you 'll find out soon enough . sloane : you insisted we check out this idea that your grandmother had mentally conditioned him to do her bidding . lo and behold , there was a device implanted in his brain which was successfully removed and is on its way to washington for analysis . meanwhile , jake doe remains in custody . how do you want me to handle this case ? [ scene_break ] spencer : i will absolutely wear this to my party . i just wish you could be there to see me in it . sonny : i wish i could be there . i just , i got to take care of your baby cousin . spencer : bring avery with you ! sonny : no . you ca n't bring a baby to a party . i mean , it 's just , baby 's need their quiet time , rest . spencer : i suppose so . sonny : but i appreciate you understanding . spencer : of course . uh , as much as i 'd love to stay , my party awaits . and , uncle sonny , i 'm very happy you 're back home . my father told me what happened . sonny : which part ? spencer : the part where you 're a big hero and you saved all those people from a villain who wanted them dead . sonny : uh , i had to , spencer , for my son . your father would have done the same for you . [ scene_break ] nikolas : commissioner , my grandmother is finally gone . and this time , i hope it 's for good . sloane : as do i. i do n't mean to sound ungrateful , but the woman is a menace . nikolas : hmm . as for jake , it 's your job to convince baldwin to drop the charges against him . sloane : you sure that 's what you want ? nikolas : i 'm positive . my family has hurt that man enough . [ scene_break ] carly : i always found it strange that no one reported jake missing . sam : maybe they did . w - we just did n't have a name or a face , a general description of who he was . carly : or maybe if and when his family went to the police , they just assumed that he left voluntarily . oh , listen to us . we just need to chill out about it , right ? because it does n't matter how jake ended up here or what happened to him . he had a life , you know ? he -- he did , and ... he could be from washington or wyoming , canada . sam : yeah . and once he finds out who he is , he 's probably gon na want to go home . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : just as you were about to go under the anesthesia , you told me , `` i know who i am . `` do you remember ? jake i know who i am . elizabeth : what is it ? jake : i know . elizabeth : what 's wrong ? jake : i know who i am . yeah , i remember . [ scene_break ] anna : i am convinced that sloane helped mayor lomax rig that election so she could stay in office . i just have to prove it . jordan : and how do you plan on doing that ? anna : well , thanks to you , we now know that duke is the one that ordered the ballot box to be dumped into the harbor . which begs the question , what the hell is he doing involved in all that ? jordan : well , you know , it 's a good thing that spencer cassadine just happened to witness shawn and me dumping that ballot box , and then he orders his driver to retrieve it . anna : but when nathan and dante , when they recovered the box from wyndemere , the seal was still intact . i mean , obviously , those two , they 're not gon na try to swing the election . jordan : which means the box had been tampered with when it was still at wyndemere . anna : someone opened the box , they stacked the election in lomax 's favor , sealed it back up again so no one would be any the wiser . jordan : who is working with sloane ? [ scene_break ] sloane : i 'll do what i can to see that jake doe walks . baldwin 's not gon na like it . nikolas : i do n't give a damn what baldwin does or does n't like . spencer : father , i 'm home ! nikolas : is that the birthday boy ? what is that ? is that from your uncle sonny ? spencer : yes . nikolas : what is it ? spencer : you 'll see at my party . are you the caterer ? sloane : i 'm the police commissioner . spencer : we have our own people to provide security for my birthday bash , but i appreciate the gesture . sloane : maybe next year . nikolas : thanks for stopping by , commissioner . sloane : pleasure . i 'll get back to you about doe . spencer : well , if you 'll excuse me , i must prepare . nikolas : oh , w - w - wait , wait . do n't you want to take a peek inside the living room ? spencer : have i told you lately that you 're the best father in the galaxy ? every child should have a dad like you . nikolas : i 'm glad you like the decorations . spencer : you need to own your greatness . you 're a champion among men . nikolas : [ sighs ] i sure do n't feel that way . [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] sam : you okay ? carly : am i okay ? yeah , i 'm fine . why ? sam : i do n't know . i - i just said that jake might go back to his life and -- and remember who he is , and you got all weird . carly : i got weird ? sam : yeah . weird . i mean , quiet , which is ... which is really weird for you . carly : [ chuckles ] sam : i mean , i do n't know . maybe you do n't like the idea of jake going back to wherever he 's from . carly : maybe i do n't . jake 's my friend . i mean , h - he was . and it 's amazing how fast it happened , but ... sonny pushed me away , and i needed someone to listen , and jake was there , so ... sam : okay . i mean , i can see how you can miss him . carly : and when i found out that he had done all those things , it was really hard for me to turn him in . sam : yeah . sure . carly : so , if it turns out that , you know , he 's from arizona with a wife and two kids and a pound puppy , it 's , uh ... i 'm gon na be sorry to see him go . sam : how do you think sonny 's gon na feel about that ? [ scene_break ] shawn : i just wanted to touch base on a couple things . sonny : hold on . [ baby fussing ] sonny : it 's just like she 's squeaking . okay , it 's not ... yeah , fine . go ahead . just the baby . shawn : what about the custody fight ? is michael still trying to take avery away from you or was diane able to get the suit thrown out ? sonny : guess what . judge is moving forward . shawn : sorry , man . anything i can do ? sonny : i do n't think so , but i appreciate the offer . shawn : you know i 've always got your back . sonny : i know you do . and now carly does , too . shawn : you and carly trying to work things out ? sonny : well ... [ chuckles ] ... we 're getting there . shawn : i know how bad she was when you first broke things off . i mean , at first , for a while , i thought , you know , she was gon na take your advice and move on . sonny : she almost did . [ scene_break ] jake : i remember telling you `` i know who i am , `` but i - i ... i do n't remember what i was remembering , if that makes any kind of sense . patrick : you were already under the anesthesia , so whatever your brain was trying to remember at the time , it probably was n't able to retain it . jake : sorry . elizabeth : do n't apologize to us . it 's more important for you to remember so you can go back to the life you had . jake : you 're trying to get rid of me , huh ? huh ? elizabeth : i 'm saying we like you no matter who you are . especially now that helena is n't controlling you . jake : are we positive that 's the case ? patrick : well , like i said , the implant was successfully removed , assuming that was the source of the mental coercion . elizabeth : of course it was . patrick : in any case , it 's gone . jake : hey , what about my memory ? any chance it will come back ? patrick : it 's hard to say . jake : well , i guess here we are again . if i ca n't remember and if no one comes for me , then i might not ever know who i am . hmm . [ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli says a lot of things . and where , of course , he is super smart , he is sadly somewhat lacking in social intelligence . spinelli : maxie , i owe you an apology , okay ? i - i - i needed to admit the truth to nathan , although it was hard for him to hear . nathan : oh , you 've been lying since you got here . spinelli : just because i could n't repress my true desires any longer . maxie : why not ? spinelli : there 's no need for fisticuffs . maxie : you could n't just let me do it my way ? nathan : wait , wait , wait . you knew ? maxie , did you know about this ? maxie : [ sighs ] spinelli told me . nathan : when ? maxie : the night he got here , on valentine 's day . nathan : what , did he tell you about the breakup or -- all of it . maxie : everything he just told you . nathan : wait . so you knew that ellie and spinelli broke up over you and that spinelli has decided he still loves you ? spinelli : okay . point of fact , one does n't decide to be in love . it 's not a voluntary emotion . the heart wants what it wants . nathan : shut up . spinelli : but i digress . nathan : maxie , spinelli confesses his love to you on valentine 's day , and you , you still -- you invite him over to play house with you and georgie in your apartment ? maxie : it was n't exactly like that . spinelli : but it was n't not like that . nathan : well , and you -- it never occurred to you to tell me what was going on ? why not ? [ scene_break ] patrick : whatever jake thought he remembered prior to going under anesthesia , he does n't anymore . carly : he still does n't know who he is ? sam : wait a minute . this is a temporary setback , right ? i mean , he could still remember . you do n't think so , do you ? patrick : i do n't know . i really do n't know . it 's too hard to tell right now . sam : c - can i go in there and see him ? patrick : sure , but make it quick . he 's gon na need some rest . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i hope you find out who you are . but i kind of feel like i already know . jake : oh , yeah ? well , then please enlighten me . elizabeth : you ... are a good man . you 're thoughtful and kind . kids love you . [ chuckles ] and now that helena is n't controlling you , i know you will continue to be a good man no matter what your name is . jake : hey . [ clears throat ] thank you for standing by me when other people would n't . [ scene_break ] shawn : carly got close with jake , the guy who tried to kill everyone on board the haunted star , including her son ? sonny : carly does n't always have the best judgment , but she seems to have accepted that h - he 's on his way to prison . shawn : how close did she let him get ? sonny : she kissed him at midnight on new year 's eve . shawn : the metro court party ? sonny : yep . i guess . shawn : jordan and i were there , too . sonny : did you see them ? shawn : well , i saw carly working the room , but jake , i really was n't paying attention . sonny : well , you did n't have a reason to be checking out for that , right ? shawn : true . besides , jordan and i found ourselves on the job . just as everyone else was ringing in the new year , duke gave us our first assignment together as a team . sonny : what was that ? shawn : dumping the ballot box . [ scene_break ] anna : so , nik cassadine 's butler , he finds the ballot box in spencer 's toy box . and nikolas does n't even know it 's there . jordan : was nikolas the one who called the cops ? anna : no . he was still trying to figure out how to proceed right around the time that sloane was informing me he had evidence of the whereabouts of the ballot box . so , i sent dante and nathan out , and there it was . jordan : so , nikolas cassadine is caught red - handed with the ballot box and ... i get the impression that you do n't think he 's a suspect . anna : no , i do n't . not really . jordan : no . well , why not ? anna : why not ? well ... before we discovered that spencer was responsible , sloane practically wore out his finger pointing at nikolas . now , you know , sloane , he may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier . but even i do n't think that he would out his own co - conspirator . jordan : i would n't put him past him . the man 's a snake . anna : you do n't know nikolas the way i do . i do n't think he 'd be involved in this . i mean , he 's one of the few good cassadines . [ scene_break ] nikolas : elizabeth , it 's me . i was just calling to see how jake was doing , if he remembers who he is . [ pop music playing ] nikolas : call me . cameron : i still do n't get why you did n't tell me that josslyn and spencer were only pretending to be together . emma : i told you . i did n't think it mattered . cameron : yes , it does . you 've known for months . josslyn : trouble in paradise ? emma : this was a private conversation . josslyn : cambo , once you 're ready to dump sweetness and light for someone more interesting , you 'll find me by the chocolate fondue . cameron : thanks , josslyn . and thanks for all the nice stuff you said about me today . josslyn : i meant every word . emma : is that what you want ? to be with josslyn ? deejay : people . well , thank you . ladies and gentlemen , it is my honor to bring the man of the hour to you . let 's make some noise for prince spencer stefan nikolosovich cassadine , otherwise known as the host with the most , otherwise known as the birthday boy , otherwise known as slamming spencer !

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you know that guy , jake doe ? yeah , his real name is jason morgan . yeah , that jason . i have n't known his true identity for very long , but i 've been keeping it to myself and lying to ... sam and elizabeth and ... everyone else that cares about jason . why ? because i want to take over his family 's corporation . part of me hopes that when jake wakes up , he ca n't remember who he is . what the hell am i doing ? deejay : dude , were you saying something ? nikolas : no . nothing . do n't worry about it . [ scene_break ] anna : well , i want to thoroughly investigate every possibility , even nikolas , if the trail leads back to him . i mean , i 've only just started to dig into this . jordan : well , i will keep my ears open , too . do n't you think you 're gon na have your hands full ? anna : bringing down shawn and his associates ? jordan : i 'm still working on it . anna : so , um , now that sonny 's been pardoned , is he gon na take the organization back from duke ? jordan : sonny 's not taking back the reins . duke 's -- duke 's still in charge . anna : that 's unfortunate . jordan : anyway , according to shawn , sonny , uh ... sonny has other priorities . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do i need to know about this ballot box ? shawn : nothing . everything is taken care of . our hands are clean . sonny : what can you tell me about jake ? shawn : well , all i can really say is , he 's made a lot of trouble for a lot of people . want me to keep an eye on him ? sonny : [ sighs ] you know what ? i have to believe carly when she says that it 's over before it started . but then again , look what happened with frank . i ca n't take the risk of that happening again . so , to be on the safe side ... keep an eye on jake . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : carly , can i do something for you ? carly : i - i just would like , um , a moment alone with jake . elizabeth : well , that 's up to you . [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm sure you 're exhausted , but you can rest well knowing that you did right by jake . patrick : yeah , sleep would be a good thing . sam : are you okay ? patrick : mm - hmm . sam : you 're thinking about rafe , are n't you ? patrick : you 're -- you 're good . yeah , i ca n't help but think about him on days like this . sam : i know it 's , uh , an impossible situation , but you did everything you could do for him . patrick : no , i know . it 's just , what can i say ? sometimes i think about him . sam : yeah , me too . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : if you 're not ready for visitors -- jake : it 's fine . no , it 's fine . elizabeth : i 'll be outside . jake : i 'll be in here .

[ clears throat ] yeah , that , uh , someone ca n't control me and make me take someone else hostage or blow up a boat full of people . yeah , that -- that 's good to know . carly : none of that was your fault . none . jake : you really believe that or are you just feeling sorry for me over here ? carly : you were n't in control of your actions , okay ? but i was . and -- and , um ... i made a big mistake , and i let you down , and i 'm sorry , and i really hope you can forgive me .

[ chuckles ] jason : gotcha . robin : he was in love with my mother , and so she lashed out . i mean , she was n't stable already , and she only got worse . jason : did she become threatening ? robin : psychopathic . i do n't know the particulars , but basically my mom was pregnant with duke 's baby at the time . and let 's just say , once she crossed olivia 's path , she was n't anymore . jason : sorry . i , uh , did n't mean to bring that up ... especially with everything you 've got going on right now . robin : it 's okay . it 's okay . it was -- it was a long time ago . supposedly it was all an accident . but i do n't think i believed that , even at the time . i mean , i knew when i was young that no one was safe from that woman . anyway , i hope that helps . jason : oh , abs -- robin : i - i should get back to my mom . jason : thank you . thank you . it does help . and absolutely , you should . okay . give her my best , please . robin : okay . i will . jason : okay . hey , uh ... if olivia was still alive , do you think she 'd want to hurt julian for what he did to duke ? robin : [ chuckles ] you kidding me ? i 'm surprised she did n't rise from the dead and kill julian herself .

[ scene_break ] nina : the wedding was really spur of the moment . actually , we used ribbons as wedding rings . curtis : ah . yeah , well , that ai n't no ribbon now . nina : no . no . valentin bought this ring for me after . and we exchanged rings right here at the metro court , and charlotte helped us . curtis : i can tell you 're crazy about that little girl . nina : oh . curtis : but i - i mean in a good way , though . nina : yeah . of course . curtis : mm - hmm . nina : in a good way . definitely . it 's funny how life works , is n't it ? i was willing to accept that i would never have a child , and then along came charlotte . curtis : yeah , right , about that . um , i hate to rain on your little fairy tale , but you did n't marry charlotte . you married her daddy . nina : i know that . and we 're very happy . he gave me this ring on valentine 's day . curtis : that 's one way to celebrate . nina : yeah . it 's one way . oh . the night got off to a rocky start definitely , but it improved after that . curtis : what went wrong ? nina : um , someone broke into our house . [ scene_break ] anna : just think about it . why would i have broken into your house if i was n't looking for answers ? what would be the motivation for that ? valentin : maybe you were snooping . maybe you were looking for something to take me down once and for all . i do n't know . maybe you were planting evidence . anna : oh , for god 's sake ! ca n't you just tell me the whole story ? valentin : you 're asking questions you do n't want the answers to . anna : okay . whatever i did must have been so traumatic and emotionally scarring that i have blocked it out . but here 's your chance to dig it up and throw it in my face and destroy me , because is n't that what you wanted to do all along ? valentin : if you really do n't remember ... ... then you 're better off . [ door opens ] robin : sorry it took me so long . get away from her !

[ scene_break ] valentin : you 're robin scorpio . we have n't had the pleasure of officially meeting . robin : mom , are you all right ? anna : i 'm fine . robin : what are you doing in my mother 's room ? valentin : um , do you want to tell her , or should i ? anna : oh , robin . i , um ... robin : no , you know what ? you know what ? just -- just get out . okay ? you 're not welcome here . anna : it 's all right . look , we were just having a conversation . robin : i - i 'm grateful that you brought my mother in , but she does n't need your mind games . i know all about you . valentin : i 'm gon na guess you 're friends with lulu . robin : yes , lulu and nikolas . we 've been friends since we were teenagers . and you killed him . valentin : that is one version of events , yes . get out , or i 'm calling security . valentin : oh , all right . that wo n't be necessary . anna , the answers to the questions you 're asking -- you 're gon na have to find them elsewhere . robin : what was that all about ? [ scene_break ] nina : are you accusing my husband of lying to me ? curtis : i 'm simply saying maybe you do n't know the whole story . look , that 's typical of my line of work , okay ? most of my pi cases , the married couples keep secrets . some are just more egregious than others . nina : right . so , what do you think valentin would be keeping from me ? curtis : hell if i know . have you asked him about what the beef is between him and anna from back in the day ? nina : yeah . he said that , um , he misread her interest , and she rejected his advances . curtis : [ breathes deeply ] look , uh , i do n't know anna . i do n't know your husband . but if that 's the whole story ... [ sighs ] ... seems like he 'd be the one with the grudge and not the other way around . just saying . [ scene_break ] julian : what the hell kind of complication do you mean ? you assured me you had the votes . gray : convincing the board to sell was much easier when we had no other options . but laura spencer and the quartermaine contingency have been holding ... julian : okay , get to the point , gray . gray : they got creative . they made a powerful move . julian : what are you talking about ? gray : [ sighs ] the quartermaines pooled their resources and are matching your developer 's offer . julian : you got to be kidding me . i mean , they 're gon na put all their money on the line to save gh for what -- a few more years ? gray : their position is that gh . is too vital to the community . they 've already swung a member or two back to their side . julian : well , then i have to up my offer . gray : but it may be beyond the numbers now . they 've made it a community issue . julian : what are you saying , gray ? gray : the vote is liable to be tight . i 'll do my best to persuade the others and keep any more from changing their votes , but if i were you , i 'd prepare my client for the vote not going their way . julian : that 's not acceptable . [ scene_break ] jason : hey , sam , give me a call back when you get this message . i might have to work tonight . [ chuckles ] it 's crazy , but , uh ... well , i think i might have a theory about what 's going on . [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : julian , duke , and i lived very dangerous lives . we all faked our deaths and worked to survive during the mob wars . and i believed in my heart that duke had survived , like i had . i heard he came back to port charles . and i thought my faith had been rewarded . [ voice breaking ] then julian killed him . and all the light and love and hope that i had for my life was gone . do you have any idea what that feels like ? sam : i hate what julian did to duke and a lot of other people . trust me , yes , i do . i do understand . olivia : you could never understand ! you and your perfect life , with your husband and your other son . and now you 've got a baby on the way . it 's just not fair ! why should you have everything and i have nothing ?

[ scene_break ] hayden : you think finn is addicted ? griffin : i mean , zen - zen is highly addictive , and finn 's been using it for , what , years ... while he 's trying to control the symptoms and search for a cure ? i mean , you think he could just quit with no problems , just like that ? hayden : i guess it never crossed my mind . when did you realize ? griffin : when i began witnessing signs of withdrawal . look , i 've been worried about him and his patients , so i kept an eye on both . i even tried questioning him . [ sighs ] hey , where you going ? hayden : i do n't know . but i 'll start by seeing if he made it back .

[ scene_break ] julian : i promised my client that this sale would go through . you understand me ? gray : mr. jerome , i assure you i wo n't leave you in a lurch . there is an entire neighborhood by the waterfront poised to be gentrified . i know of a property there ... julian : no . no , no , no . no . ... that would be perfect . it has to be gh . you understand ? gray : okay . like i said , i 'll concentrate on our board members , but i ca n't make any promises . julian : well , failure 's not an option . gray : it 's just business . it 's not a matter of life and death . julian : [ chuckles ] well , you see , where i come from , that 's exactly what it is . and you 'd do well to remember that . [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : duke was my only reason to live . without him , i have nothing ... and nothing to lose . the only thing that 's keeping me going is that julian must die by my hand , but not before i make him suffer . he has to lose everything that means anything to him . so unless you want your baby to become collateral damage in this mess , get in the car -- now ! sam : okay . okay . okay .

[ laughs ] lisa : another one sewn up and ready to go . epiphany : hold on just a minute ! epiphany johnson did not go out and get her nursing degree so that she could take care of spoiled doctors who seem to have forgotten their alphabet ! lisa : what did i say ? robin : okay , obviously you 're pissed about something that has nothing to do with me or dr. niles . epiphany : yes , it does , because , see , when you doctors do n't do your filing , then i have to stay overtime and do it . but , hey , i have a life of my own i 'd like to live . so , i have to leave on time so that i can go and get my beyoncé tickets . steve : what 's going on ? epiphany : dr. webber , could you please remind these doctors that nurses are professionals , too , and that it is not our job to take care of doctors , but take care of patients ' needs . it would be really nice if someone would remember that . steve : i 'll send a memo . robin : she wants to leave early so she can get tickets to beyoncé . lisa : is all this because of beyoncé tickets ? 'cause i can hook you up . how 's that for respect ? epiphany : hmph . [ scene_break ] jason : bernie and i had to basically reorganize the whole transport network , and it , you know , took us all night . sam : because of johnny and dante ? jason : yeah , they know too much about the operation . sam : you know , in the past , something like this would have been a declaration of war . jason : you 're definitely right . but i do n't really want to go to war with johnny , especially with sonny in the headlines right now . sam : i do n't understand why he would pick now to go for a power grab . jason : no , it 's not about the power . he wants sonny to hurt for what happened to claudia . sam : really ? but he knows that michael is the one who killed claudia . jason : i know , sam , and that 's exactly what worries me , because johnny hates sonny , he blames sonny for everything that led up to claudia 's death , and he knows the best way to hurt sonny is to expose michael as the killer . sam : jason , maybe there 's a way i can help . [ scene_break ] johnny : be smart , michael . the less you say , the better . michael : you started it . johnny : okay , we are not on the same side here . regardless of how you felt about claudia , she was my sister . michael : my father should not have to take -- johnny : i 'm sorry that you ever had to cross paths with her . you did n't fare too well from that , and i do apologize . but sonny blindsided claudia in a roomful of people that were there to celebrate her . he taunted her with her dead baby . michael : my father had just found out that claudia got me shot . johnny : michael , when are you gon na realize that your father married claudia for the power ? michael : my dad already had the power . johnny : yes , and when he married claudia , he wound up with more power than he ever could have dreamed of . michael : well , claudia got something out of it , too . johnny : she did . claudia did . she got herself a man who would n't spit on her if she was on fire . she got herself a man who gave her a false sense of something real , a false sense of security , a little respect . and then he turned on her . it had to be one of the worst things i ever saw . so i 'm not gon na look the other way . my sister deserves justice . olivia : yeah , i 'm still here . go on .

[ mike sighs ] [ scene_break ] claire : i ca n't believe it , jax . you never said anything about a wife . jax : oh , it seemed irrelevant at the time . olivia : [ chuckles ] you 're funny , you guys . if there 's anything else i could fill you in on , since obviously the wedding ring was a little too subtle . claire : subtle like a sledgehammer . not unlike yourself . olivia : subtlety is not really my thing . anyway , um , he may have also neglected to tell you about his two stepsons or his brand - new baby daughter . claire : baby -- baby daughter ? jax : mm - hmm . claire : do you have any pictures ? olivia : i do . would you like them with or without the mother ? jax : is n't there someplace you have to be , work - wise ? olivia : actually , i 'm all finished working , jax . i 'm also finished keeping secrets , of my own and for you . i 've had the wrath of carly up in my face two times now . i do n't ever need to feel that again , so i 'm not gon na go running off to her and tell her about whatever this little thing is that you 've got going on . why would i ? you 've obviously got no intention of saving your marriage , which is a little bit disappointing . i kind of felt that you 'd fight for carly and your family . jax : maybe my tactics are n't as obvious as you would like them to be , but believe me , this is all about saving my marriage . olivia : if you say so . claire : how was i ? jax : i definitely picked the right woman for the job . [ scene_break ] diane : the one area where we did catch a break was the federal prosecutor , everett dawson . sonny : how much did he cost us ? diane : not a thing . he 's just lazy . he looks good , but he 's not an original thinker . he 's got his legal aides and interns prepping his cases for him . so he just preens around the courtroom . but that means he wo n't be dropping any surprises on us during the arraignment . sonny : what surprises do you have planned for the arraignment ? diane : not a thing . i got nothing . i 'm going to try and get the court to delay the trial as long as possible . you will remain free on bail . that 's standard . maybe i can weaken this momentum that the prosecution has going for it . jason : this a bad time ? sonny : uh ... no . diane was leaving . diane : well , i have two requests of you , jason . the first being , stay as far away as you can from the courtroom . i 'm trying my damnedest to keep you off the witness list , but nothing screams guilty more than a mob enforcer taking the fifth . jason : okay . what about the second request ? diane : do n't let your boss leave the house wearing that shirt . sonny : forgive diane . i need you to handle something crucial . [ scene_break ] jax : sonny 's lawyer 's more than competent . claire : diane miller . i read up on her . she has an impressive acquittal rate . jax : well , trust me when i tell you most of those `` not guiltys `` were actually guilty . claire : ms. miller will try to set the pace of the trial from the arraignment . she 'll waive their right to a speedy trial , use delay tactics , and try to put the brakes on the momentum . by the time the case actually goes to trial , the public will have lost interest , evidence will be missing , and witnesses will either develop memory lapses or disappear . jax : well , that 's why you were brought in , to make sure that does n't happen . claire : i 'll convict sonny corinthos . but first , i need to remove one tiny obstacle . [ scene_break ] diane : your pro bono case is down the hall . alexis : i cleared my calendar just for you . diane : pour moi ? to what do i owe this honor ? alexis : well , i went over some of the notes and i 'm a little concerned about some of the details in your preparation , so i thought maybe i could help you out by giving you another perspective . diane : i so appreciate your input , and welcome to my firm . alexis : oh , i 'm not joining the firm ; i 'm just offering my services for this particular trial . diane : but , sweetie , those are n't my terms . alexis : do n't be a pill . diane : sorry . unless you make it official , you are nothing more than an interested bystander , and your seat is back there in the gallery .

[ door closes ] ava : you listen to me , and you listen good , a.j . i understand that you are overcome with guilt about what happened . you killed an innocent woman . and i understand that you are dealing with this by going on another self - destructive bender , but you do not get to take it out on me . i saw you after you shot connie dead with your family 's gun . i tried to cover for you . i took the gun , and i did n't say a word because i wanted to protect you . but now you know the truth . deal with it . a.j . : i ca n't . ava : for god 's sake , a.j . you 're a free man . you 've already been acquitted of connie 's murder , and you ca n't be tried again , no matter how guilty you are . you fought the law , and you won . now , the best thing for you to do is accept what you did and let us all move on with our lives . let it go ... or i might be tempted to tell michael exactly what i saw on that security footage . a.j . : do n't you threaten me by going to michael . ava : michael 's the only person who truly believes in you . and although he may question your innocence , the lack of proof gives him the reasonable doubt he needs to sleep at night . but what if i took away that doubt ? imagine how michael would look at you if i told him what i saw on that footage -- you murdering connie falconeri in cold blood and stumbling out of there drunk without so much as a glance back . a.j . : you listen to me ! you stay away from my son ! carlos : hey ! hey ! a.j . : you hear me ? ! carlos : get your hands off ! a.j . : you stay away from my son ! carlos : that 's it ! shut up , or i will shut you up ! get out of here ! go ! kiki : no , i love you , michael . michael : [ sighs ] yeah , i - i love you , too . kiki : okay , good , and i want to make this work . that 's why i think -- i think some distance will do us good . we moved way too quickly before , and this will give us a chance to just ... turn back the clock ... maybe do things right ... the way we should have before . michael : [ sighs ] yeah , you know , uh ... maybe you 're right . [ both sigh ] sonny : i do n't think brenda would be willing to help us anyway , so ... shawn : look , uh ... sonny : [ exhales deeply ] shawn : ... i understand why you 'd be hesitant on contacting her , okay ? but i really do n't see any other option . maybe brenda might be the key to finding out who 's pulling julian 's strings . i mean , do you really think it 's worth losing our only lead , if all it takes is a phone call ? sonny : you 're right . shawn : let me give you a minute , all right ? sonny : yeah . brenda ? it 's me . patrick : i ca n't believe i do n't know the next time that i 'm gon na be sleeping in your arms . robin : do n't say that . patrick , i 'm gon na come back to you . hey . i promise , okay ? i 'm gon na come back ... someday . carlos : that a.j . 's quite a character , huh ? totally out of control . ava : the poor man has an illness , carlos . it 's a shame what alcohol can do to some people . carlos : why was a.j . bothering you about connie falconeri 's death , hmm ? it 's not like you killed her . ava : a.j . ? what have you done ? a.j . julian ? julian ? connie : did you just say `` julian `` ? carlos : ava ? i said , `` it 's not like you killed her . `` although from that look on your face ... maybe you did . kiki : i better get home to rafe . michael : yeah , sure . [ sighs ] kiki : i 'll call you . michael : okay . i 'll see you soon . kiki : i will call you . michael : counting on it . [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] molly : who 's that ? tj : they probably got the wrong room . just ignore it . [ knocking continues ] molly : they are n't going away . tj : [ sighs ] i forgot to put the `` do not disturb `` sign on the door . it 's probably just room service coming back for the dishes . i 'll get rid of them . [ sighs ] ms. davis . rafe : sorry , molly , but you 'll thank me one day ... when you realize tj is n't the right guy for you . let 's hope . [ knock on door ] shawn : you good ? sonny : yeah , nothing to worry about . listen , uh , most important thing is i got insight into all this . brenda told me that julia barrett sold her majority stake in barrett enterprises . shawn : hmm . sonny : all right ? years ago . she has n't had anything to do with it for a long time , and brenda never did . shawn : so , whoever julia sold her stake to is probably responsible for funneling the money to the jeromes . sonny : that 's what i 'm thinking , especially because this new majority shareholder has gone to great lengths to protect his identity . whoever it is obviously has a vested interest in helping julian jerome ... take me down . rafe : hi . can i help you ? | patrick and robin make love one last time before she leaves . shawn informs sonny that julian 's financier is barrett enterprises . sonny calls his ex , brenda barrett , who tells him that her sister sold her majority stake in the company years ago . sonny concludes that whoever bought julia 's share is interested in helping julian take him down . ava asks carlos if he knows that someone else is bankrolling their organization . he says julian does n't share that kind of information with him . when she continues to ask questions , he wonders if she is planning to take over the organization from her brother . julian plays with danny at alexis ' house . julian and alexis passionately kiss . before they take it upstairs , rafe arrives at the door and tells them that molly and tj got a room at the metro court . rafe stays with danny while alexis and julian go to the metro court to stop molly and tj . rafe answers a knock on alexis ' door and asks the stranger if he can help him . |
julian : so , what are you thinking about , hmm ? alexis : mm . ned . [ scene_break ] ned : thank you . olivia : [ sighs ] great . ned : olivia , um ... what ? olivia : i 'm eating for two . mmm . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucas ? i was afraid you 'd beat me home . are you here ? ric : no . i am . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] jake : [ coughs ] [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] [ footsteps approach ] patrick : hey . nikolas : patrick . yeah . did n't hear you come in . patrick : yeah , uh , i hope it 's okay . alfred was on his way out and let me in . nikolas : right . of course . i figured after a month of putting up with spencer 's demands for his birthday party that the staff needed a break , so i gave everyone the rest of the week off . patrick : well , that 's nice . yeah , i just came to get emma . i , uh -- i 'm sorry if i 'm late . nikolas : no . no , not at all . i know spencer 's always thrilled to see emma . patrick : heard there was a little , uh , incident tonight . nikolas : yes . yes , there was . things got a little heated between cameron and emma . i think cameron hurt emma 's feelings a little bit . i do n't know . i do know that lucas came and picked up cameron and josslyn from the party , so i do n't know if that means that cameron and emma are off or broken up or -- patrick : yeah , well , thanks for the warning . it 's , uh -- it 's -- it 's difficult to keep up with the love lives of , uh , grade - schoolers these days . nikolas : yes . yes , it -- it , uh , certainly is . proof that relationship are tough at any age , right ? patrick : yeah , well , she 's a big girl . i 'm sure she 'll be fine . nikolas : yeah . well , i , uh -- i peeked in on them earlier . it seemed like she cheered up a little bit . so i do n't know . on -- on the plus side , i think that emma just made spencer the happiest little boy on the planet . [ scene_break ] [ waltz plays ] emma : where did you learn to touch - dance ? spencer : my great - grandmother taught me . i wonder why she did n't come . well , i 'm 10 . it does n't matter . you 've made this the best birthday ever . you know what , emma ? this is a perfect ending to a perfect night . [ scene_break ] julian : [ chuckles ] so i just did things for the last hour that would make caligula blush , and now you 're telling me that you 've been thinking about ned ? alexis : well , i was n't thinking about him during . julian : oh , well , that 's good to know . so , what 's going on ? you , uh , sorry you broke up with him ? alexis : of course not . i choose you . i adore you . i want you . i hope that i just showed that to you in the bedroom . i 'm not changing my mind . julian : mm , good . good , good , good . so , again , why -- why are you thinking about ned ? i mean , you 're not worried about hurting his feelings , are you ? because , trust me , i 'm sure he 's been dumped before . he 'll get over it . alexis : this is n't our first breakup . julian : oh . alexis : you know what ? neither one of us was really invested in each other . i do n't know why . we 're just not built to last . we 're friends , we 're companions , but we want different things . julian : okay , so then , once again , why is ned on your mind ? alexis : well , it 's not ned exactly . it 's more the baby he 's having with olivia . [ scene_break ] ned : well , you certainly seem to have enjoyed my pie . olivia : mmm . mmm . hey , hey , hey ! could we get another piece of pie over here ? a big one this time . waitress : you got it . olivia : mmm . ned : thank you . olivia : what ? that pie 's for me . ned : what was i thinking ? olivia : mm - hmm . ned : considering i did n't even get to have one bite of the last piece of pie i ordered . how was it , by the way ? olivia : oh , delicious , ned . just the right amount of sweetness . you know , some people go pouring too much sugar in their pie , and it covers up all the other tastes . you know what i 'm saying ? and the crust ? perfect . it 's light . it 's flaky . ned : you do n't say ? olivia : unh , unh , unh , unh , unh , unh . ned : what ? olivia : not until you tell me -- what in the hell were you thinking ? ! [ scene_break ] elizabeth : ric , i was n't expecting you . ric : oh , sorry . i - i used my key . i hope you do n't mind . elizabeth : [ sighs ] where 's cameron ? i thought lucas should have brought him home by now . ric : um ... well , lucas called . he said that , uh , cam and josslyn were pretty hyper after the party , so , uh , he and brad are taking them to the mall to run off their energy . uh , lucas said he 'd -- he 'd bring them by in a little while . elizabeth : god , after all that sugar from the birthday party , i 'm sure he 's bouncing off the walls . god bless lucas for trying to tire him out . ric : yeah . i 'm not sure who 's gon na be more tired -- lucas or cam . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] ric : but it works out for us , though . gives us the opportunity to talk . elizabeth : what is there for us to talk about ? ric : or more like who . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , i am so sorry to wake you . the guard said that it would be okay if i came in , but i can -- i can come back another time . jake : mnh - mnh . no , no . do n't -- do n't -- do n't leave . everything okay ? sam : yeah . i - i mean , i was -- i was hoping to talk to you , but , you know , it can wait till tomorrow . jake : [ chuckles ] i 'm awake now . sam : i know , but you 're recovering from brain surgery , so ... jake : uh , that 's true , but , uh , i 'm feeling pretty good considering . [ chuckles ] what do you want to talk about ? sam : okay . you said something to me right before they wheeled you into surgery , and i was hoping i could talk to you about it . jake : what did i say ? sam : you said that there was only one ring . [ scene_break ] nikolas : last i checked , emma and spencer were dancing in the living room . [ chuckles ] i got -- i got to tell you , that daughter of yours is probably giving spencer the best birthday present he 's had in all of his 10 years . patrick : i take it we 're talking about the dance . nikolas : [ chuckles ] yes . but seriously , he -- he has n't stopped talking about her for months . he 's convinced that she is his one true love . patrick : well , let 's hope they keep it g - rated , huh ? nikolas : i can assure you that , uh , i 've raised a gentleman . patrick : thank you . nikolas : cheers . patrick : i have no doubt . from everything that elizabeth said , you 've always been a gentlemen in any situation , and i 'm sure spencer 's the same . nikolas : yeah . speaking of elizabeth , um ... she says that jake doe 's surgery was a success . patrick : uh , yeah . we were able to get the device out . nikolas : please . patrick : [ clears throat ] um , everybody seems to think it 's a foregone conclusion that helena 's not gon na have any control over him anymore . nikolas : but you do n't think that that 's the case . patrick : i do n't know what the device did in the first place -- if it had control over jake 's actions or not or if it had another purpose altogether . but , i mean , it 's helena 's word or jake 's , right ? nikolas : well , i mean , no one is to believe helena . that 's obvious . but it does seem that jake 's the innocent victim in all of this . patrick : maybe he is . maybe he is n't . i do n't know how culpable jake is with any of the things that happened , but i think it 's pretty clear that he has a violent skill set . does n't matter what kind of device was implanted in me or you . i ca n't imagine that either one of us would be able to plant a bomb or -- or take on half of the pcpd . nikolas : right . well , what does jake think about it ? i mean , elizabeth mentioned , before the surgery , he remembered who he was . patrick : yeah , jake was literally on the table about to go under anesthesia when he , uh , came to . he said he remembered something . elizabeth questioned him once he woke up , but ... he did n't remember . he still has no idea who he is . [ scene_break ] spencer : i 've only been thinking about my own happiness , and i have n't been inquiring about yours . are you okay ? are you thinking about cameron ? emma : i just ca n't believe things fell apart so fast . spencer : i guess some things just were n't meant to be and some things were . emma : [ sniffs ] i smell smoke . [ fire alarm blaring ] [ scene_break ] olivia : why on earth would you tell alexis and julian that you are the father of my baby ? ! ned : you said you did n't want julian to know that he was the baby 's father , and he was about to stake his claim . so i ... i improvised . olivia : you lied ! ned : and you backed me up . olivia : well , i - i did n't know what else to say . now if julian finds out , it 's gon na be that much worse . ned : he 's not gon na find out , okay ? i do n't think you have to worry about it . i think he bought the whole story . olivia : maybe , maybe . but i 'm not so sure alexis did . [ scene_break ] julian : well , it was a bit of a shock to , uh , learn that olivia was pregnant , and i 'm sure you were shocked to find out that ned had cheated on you . but let 's be honest . i mean , uh , you did cheat on ned with me , so ... alexis : i do n't have a problem with the fact that ned slept with olivia . julian : mm - hmm . alexis : i - i - i -- you know , no one wants to be cheated on , but , like you said , i 'm not in any position to judge . julian : mm - hmm . yet here you are thinking about ned when you could be in bed with me . alexis : mm - hmm . yeah , i mean , you know , something just does n't seem right . specifically about the night that ned said that it happened , because i do n't remember the same thing . julian : so , you do n't think that , uh , ned and olivia had sex that night ? alexis : maybe . i walked in on something . and she was not nice to me at the metro court the next day . julian : which could be explained by the fact that ned and olivia just had sex . alexis : or it could be explained by the fact that olivia wanted to be with ned and i was with him . i know i did n't walk in on them in flagrante . they were just watching a movie . julian : maybe that 's the best excuse they could come up with on short notice . [ sighs ] although that is something that teenagers would do , you know ? pretend they 're watching a movie to cover up the fact that they 're having sex . alexis : yeah . that 's too similar to when i was pregnant with kristina , you know , and did n't want sonny to know that -- that he was her father . so i looked for a fill - in father , and ned was willing . julian : that 's probably the only way he could hope to be with you . alexis : he did not want kristina to be in violence any more than i did , so i - i 'm not questioning his motive . i 'm just saying that i can see that he might use the same rationale with olivia . julian : so , you do n't think that ned is the father . [ scene_break ] ric : i wanted to apologize for what happened at the courthouse the other day . i admit that i let my personal feelings get in the way of my advice for my client . elizabeth : should n't you be apologizing to jake ? ric : elizabeth , i tried to explain this , okay ? i am very doubtful that any jury is gon na believe that jake taking sam hostage , shooting a cop , and planting a bomb is because he was the victim of mind control . right , even if they were to buy that there was some sort of mental duress , it is very likely he 's still gon na get a life sentence . elizabeth : well , if that 's how you feel , you should have told me from the start that you could n't defend him . ric : okay . and if jake were to get acquitted ? the man is dangerous , elizabeth , okay , with no control over his own actions . look , what if , god forbid , helena decided to set him on a new target and that target , this time , was you or your boys ? elizabeth : helena ca n't order him to do anything anymore . the surgery was a success . patrick removed the implant . ric : okay , well , i 'm very happy to hear that , but in and of itself , that proves nothing . elizabeth : it proves helena was controlling him . it was n't his choice to take sam hostage or set faison free . elizabeth : oh , god . ric : what purpose that device was for . come on ! do n't you think that maybe even jake had it planted in his own head so that he could create deniability in case he was caught ? elizabeth : that 's absurd ! ric : no , it 's only absurd , elizabeth , because it 's not what you want to hear , okay ? you want to believe that jake is innocent . elizabeth : because he is . helena cassadine literally hijacked jake 's mind . he was so desperate to be free of her , he risked his life . patrick warned him the surgery could kill him , but he said he would rather die than be used to hurt anyone else . so do n't stand there and tell me he 's dangerous . that 's not why you asked him to plead guilty . you wanted him out of the way . ric : you 're damn right i did . [ scene_break ] jake : mm . you know what ? [ clears throat ] i do remember saying there was only one ring . sam : you do ? jake : i do . sam : okay . what did you mean ? jake : i - i do n't know . i - i -- whatever i was thinking before the surgery , it 's -- it 's gone now . i 'm sorry . sam : [ sighs ] no , you do n't have to be sorry . it 's just when you -- you said it , i got this feeling . do you think you could have been talking about a wedding ring ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : so , the flash of memory jake had prior to the surgery , it 's -- it 's gone now ? patrick : looks that way . nikolas : do you think it 's because the chip was removed ? patrick : [ sighs ] i ca n't say one way or the other . i mean , the stress of a brain surgery alone can cause memory loss . nikolas : do you think jake will ever remember who he is ? patrick : i did n't even know you met the guy . why all the questions ? nikolas : i do n't know . i just , uh -- i know what it 's like to lose my past . before you came to port charles , i lost my memory in a car accident . patrick : i had no idea . nikolas : yeah . emily and i were engaged . for months , she thought i was dead . so i ca n't help but wonder what people are waiting for jake . patrick : well , if he has loved ones out there somewhere , he does n't remember them . nikolas : but if he remembered before , he can remember again . patrick : like i said , i do n't know . there 's a lot about the brain that we do n't know . anyways , it 's getting late . i should go collect that munchkin and get on out of here , get her home . nikolas : of course . patrick : relationship drama aside , it sounds like emma and spencer were having a good time . i hate to break up the fun . [ scene_break ] emma : the room 's on fire ! spencer : do n't worry . stay close . i 'll get you out of here .

[ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm pretty sure that alexis was suspicious of our whole story . did you see the look on her face ? ned : that 's how her face always looks . she 's a lawyer . her natural inclination is to search for the holes in someone 's story . olivia : i 'm not so sure that i can stand up to -- to her cross - examinations . ned : liv , you did great . do n't worry about it . alexis is not gon na look into this any further . olivia : what makes you so sure about that ? ned : because for some unknown reason , she wants to be with that idiot . so why would she upset the apple cart ? [ scene_break ] julian : so , you think ned is lying about being the father of olivia 's baby ? alexis : well , considering his history , i 'd be kind of stupid not to consider it . julian : problem is , his history 's with you , so he would have to be pretty stupid to try the same thing twice . now , i would never accuse ned of being smart , but i just do n't think he 's that stupid . alexis : you 're very comforting , you know that ? julian : okay , well , i just do n't want you to worry about something that probably is n't true . alexis : so , you believe olivia ? julian : [ sighs ] i have no reason not to . i mean , look , everything i know about olivia says to me that she 's a pretty straight shooter . i mean , on the other hand , if i were having a baby , i 'd want to know . [ scene_break ] [ fire alarm blaring ] emma : spencer , are you okay ? ! spencer : i ca n't get out ! i 'm trapped ! emma : do n't worry . i 'm gon na get help ! [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you tried to manipulate jake into sending himself to prison . you wanted him to lock himself up for the rest of his life because you wanted him out of your way ? ! what am i supposed to do with that , ric ? ric : look , i admit i crossed the line . i had no right to play god with another man 's life . elizabeth : i just ca n't believe you went this far all because you were threatened . ric : elizabeth , i just got you back . look , i spent all of those months in witness protection thinking that i - i had lost my last chance with you . i was in a strange city . i - i could n't even use my own name . the whole time , i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm thinking that you and molly are here grieving for me for no reason . and then julian jerome 's guys , they grab me , and they throw me in the trunk of a car . i think i 'm gon na die there . and you know what i thought about the whole time ? i thought about your face and how much i love you and if , by some miracle , i found my way back to you , that i was never , ever gon na let you go . elizabeth : i know you went through hell . but this scares me , ric . this is too much like the man i thought you left behind years ago . ric : okay . i understand . i made ... a huge mistake that i will never , ever do again . but i got to ask you -- do i have a reason to feel threatened ? can you tell me honestly that you do n't have feelings for jake ? [ scene_break ] jake : thanks . sam : you 're welcome . jake : um ... i - i do n't know if that ring was a wedding ring . [ chuckles ] what makes you ask ? sam : well , it just occurred to me . you know , what 's a ring with significance that you might remember ? a wedding ring . it might help us figure out who you really are . jake : hmm . well , whatever came to me before the surgery was gone by the time i woke up , so ... sam : well , that stands to reason . [ sighs ] any surgical procedure is a lot for the brain to endure . jake : [ chuckles ] yeah . you know , um ... every morning , i wake up , and i , uh -- i ask myself , `` who am i ? how did i get here ? `` i 've never had , really , an answer , not at all . but i thought this time , after this surgery , it might be different . but , no . it 's just the same old blankness . there 's nothing . and i 'm a little worried that maybe , uh ...

[ scene_break ] alexis : i certainly know what it 's like to wish you could raise your child from birth . i have so many regrets about not being there for sam . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : but , you know , maybe her having a teenage mother would have done more harm than good . julian : no , you would have been great . alexis : thank you . and as much as i regret that i could n't be there for her then , i am so grateful that i can be there for her now . and we have this amazing grandson -- danny . julian : he is pretty great . alexis : and you 're great with him . julian : well , thanks . alexis : so , you get to see all the milestones with him -- his second birthday . i mean , he would n't have had that if it were n't for you . julian : well , i 'd pretty much do anything for the little guy . alexis : you did by agreeing to have your bone marrow banked in case he needs it again , eliminating sonny 's only reason not to kill you . julian : danny 's safety is more important now . i just ... alexis , i 'm just really happy i got to port charles when i did . alexis : me , too . for so many , many reasons . so , if you do n't get the chance to be a father again , you have ample opportunity to be a grandpa . julian : grandpa ? alexis : mm - hmm . julian : whoa , whoa , whoa . you calling me old here ? alexis : [ chuckles ] no . because if i call you old , i 'm calling me old , and that 's just not true . julian : no , it 's not . alexis : but you are , in fact , a grandpa . julian : oh , you 're a little bugger . alexis : yeah , like one of the sexiest grandpas i 've ever seen . mm .

'cause that 's pretty boring . sam : we actually did . we -- we were wondering about the life that you left behind after you lost your memory . i mean , is there a wife or kids out there somewhere ? jake : yeah , i think about that a lot . sam : you know , when faison shot jason and pushed him into the harbor , i did n't know whether he was dead or alive because there was no body that was ever recovered . and that was probably the hardest part for me -- not knowing and just waiting . a part of me was convinced that he was alive out there somewhere . jake : [ sighs ] sam : and then i decided that he was n't , because if he was , nothing would stop him from coming home to me and -- and to danny . he was gone . jake : i 'm sorry . sam : i just do n't want anyone to have to go through what i went through . and if there is a woman out there that misses you the way that i missed my husband , i want to help figure out who you are for her .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sure we have ned and faith to thank for courtney 's so - called kidnapping . they are testing me , seeing how far they can push me without having to resort to open warfare . they 're hoping i wo n't retaliate like a couple of spoiled kids . now , this should prove to you that my enemies , no matter how civilized they are , they will use courtney as a weapon against me and , by extension , you . now , we got away with it this time because we 're dealing with amateurs , but next time , you know , it could be -- jason : you think i have n't tortured myself over and over with that thought ? you do n't think i 've tried to make courtney understand ? i asked her to leave town . i do n't know what else you expect from me . sonny : you think i 'm not sorry ? jason : well , what else do you want me to do ? sonny : do you think i 'm not sorry ? ric : sonny , sonny , excuse me . i do n't mean to interrupt , but i just thought you 'd might like to know the d.a .

[ scene_break ] jax : are you coming in ? ned : alexis and i have been fighting a lot lately , so she 'd probably rather see you right now . jax : oh , ok . well , that explains why she 's behaving so erratically lately . it also means that she 's going to need you more than ever now , ned . ned : look , i 'm not bailing . i 'm just saying that when -- if she wants to see me , i 'm here . and please make that clear to her , ok ? jax : ok , i will . ned : i need to check in on kristina . skye : jax , i 'm really sorry . as relieved as i am to be exonerated , i wish that it had n't come at such a cost , especially for you . jax : thanks . alexis : i 'd get up to give you a hug , but i 'm afraid i 'm all tied up . jax : well , you still got your sense of humor . that 's good . alexis : i think i 'm going to need it . jax : yeah , could n't hurt . you know , in the meantime , i 'm going to call upon that savior complex that you accused me of having all the time . i 'm going to use it to your advantage . you 're my dearest friend , alexis . i 'm not going to lose you . i 'm going to do everything i can to get you out of this . alexis : you promise ? jax : on my life . [ scene_break ] luke : there 's no ulterior motive , believe me . i mean , at first , she would n't have anything to do with me . lucky : that so ? luke : yeah . when dr. quack was trying to convince me i was delusional , summer pretty much did everything she could to convince me he was right . lucky : i remember . you know , this place still has n't fully recovered . so , summer , what do you do for a living ? do you have a life ? do you have any friends -- luke : hey , whoa , boy . why the third degree ? now , if you 're uncomfortable with me spending time with a woman who 's not your mother , you give me the attitude . there 's no reason to insult her . lucky : no attitude intended . i have a lot on my plate right now . forgive me if i was rude . summer : no problem . lucky : it was nice to meet you , summer . dad , enjoy your evening . luke : he needs time . summer : sure . luke : it 's difficult for him , me spending time with a beautiful woman when his mother sits in a hospital , but he 's fair and he 'll come around . summer : i hope so . it 's obvious you two are very close . luke : you want a drink ? summer : no . i just stopped in to say hi on my way home . luke : oh , ok . well , be safe . summer , you 're not splitting because of lucky , are you ? summer : no . no . just call me , or like we said , i 'll call you . luke : you know where i am . [ scene_break ] carly : there is no doubt in my mind that jason loves you . that is why he broke it off , because sonny managed to convince him that the best way to love you is to end things . and jason will make sacrifices for anybody . he 'd sacrifice anything just for the people he loves . i know that . he 's put my happiness ahead of his own more times than i care to count . courtney : yeah , well , i 'm a long way from being happy , carly . carly : well , then maybe you should let it go . maybe you should take sonny 's offer and go away to college and meet someone new . maybe you 'd be better off . jason would n't be , though . courtney : are you saying that i should fight for him ? carly : jason loves you , courtney , and i love him , and he has finally met someone who is worthy of his love and i want him to take this chance . he 's not like sonny . courtney , in his heart , he knows that who you decide to love is your choice to make . and if you fight for him , you will win . [ scene_break ] sonny : thanks for the update , ric . we 're in the middle of something , so -- ric : have a pleasant evening . jason : he ca n't like the way you treat him , but he keeps taking it . why is that ? sonny : i have something he wants , and when i find out what it is , i will know how to proceed . well , it 's too bad , though , because he 's -- he 's a good lawyer , almost as good as alexis . jason : you know , it 's weird that -- remember , she would n't represent us in a murder case or anything that had to do with a violent crime , and now she 's a killer ? unless baldwin 's lying again . sonny : hate 's a powerful emotion . i mean , you know , alcazar 's bomb killed alexis ' sister , he confronted her in the park , she went into premature labor . anybody would want revenge . [ scene_break ] ned : what are you doing here ? faith : i just thought it was time i see your little girl . she 's beautiful . ned : you never struck me as being very maternal . faith : well , i have n't had very much exposure to children . but it 's a good thing you have since your hands could be very full soon now that kristina 's mother is a murderer . you will be responsible for the baby , wo n't you ? ned : you have no idea how ironic this is . the lengths that alexis went through to protect her child from someone who she considered dangerous . faith : do you agree she 's dangerous ? ned : whatever alexis has done , she only acted out of love for kristina . and you 're right . it 's now up to me to do everything i can to protect this child . [ scene_break ] lucky : oh , i had a feeling you 'd feed some lie to my father to tear over here to make excuses . summer : whoa , hold on just a second . make excuses to you ? why should i have to do that ? i did everything i could to push you away . you 're the one who chose to pursue this . lucky : oh , yeah , you know what -- you 're right , i did . but there was one key piece of information i forgot to buy . you know what -- i bought all that bull about you being unable to emotionally connect , but the truth was you were doing what you were good at -- hooking ! you were playing me and my father ! summer : i did n't play anyone . i met luke when he pushed me out of the way of an oncoming car , and i am grateful that he saved my life , but it would have ended there if luke had n't pursued it . lucky : what , did he know you were a hooker ? summer : ha ! did he know ? luke paid me $ 2,000 for our first date . he 's the one who encouraged me to go to p.c.u . and register , which is where you approached me . i had no idea that you and luke were father and son . think about it , lucky . we never exchanged last names . lucky : ok , you know what ? it just makes me wonder , who are you really , laura or summer ? summer : my birth name is laura . to luke , i 'm summer . now , maybe i should be summer to you , too , unless you plan on telling your dad about our relationship . lucky : you know what -- you and i do not have a relationship , either . we either have a colossal mistake or this deliberate plan of yours blew up in your face . either way , i 'm out of it . you know what -- why do n't you just go back to my father . i assume that 's what you want . summer : i do n't want to lose him if i do n't have to . lucky : but there 's one condition -- i will be watching you . you hurt my father and i will make you pay . summer : clearly , you do n't believe a word that i just said to you . lucky : no , i 'm sorry . i do n't buy these big coincidences . neither does my dad . summer : yeah , well , then why do n't you just tell him and get me out of both your lives ? lucky : because of what happened to my mother . he is hurt . he can not rebuild his life without her . but he thinks you help . summer : look , i do n't want to hurt luke , either . i happen to care about him , ok ? but i 'm going to take your offer and i 'm going to keep being his friend and i 'm going to keep seeing him . and i 'm not going to tell him about the time you and i spent together . lucky : fine . summer : just you should know , there was no ulterior motive . you were kind to me and i liked you . that 's truly all it was .

[ scene_break ] carly : you are never going to guess what i just heard on the news . sonny : alexis was arrested for alcazar 's murder . carly : someone should have figured this out sooner . it all adds up . alexis kills alcazar and then she hides in plain view while she manipulates her way through the court system . she represents you and brenda , and then , when it looks like you 're going to be guilty , she bails . and all of a sudden , she 's sneaking around , making anonymous phone calls that clear you . jason : i got to give her credit . she could have gotten away clean with alcazar 's murder if she had n't cleared brenda and me . carly : alexis put us all through hell because her ego is out of control . she thought that she could clear you and brenda , and she was smart enough not to implicate herself . there 's nothing noble about that . she 's just not as brilliant as she thought she was . sonny : alexis is a mother . whether or not she deserves to pay for alcazar 's murder , that 's debatable , but her child does n't . now , a little girl who i thought was mine at one time is in the hospital with her mother on her way to prison .

alexis : ric ? tj : look , mr. jerome , i get that you care about molly 's family , but what happened tonight -- julian : look , i do n't care about what happened here tonight . tj : you do n't ? ric : mnh - mnh . what i want to talk about is what went down at sonny 's warehouse . tj : i do n't know why . it 's over . it 's history , right ? julian : no , not to me , it 's not . to me , it feels like it happened yesterday . i 'm aware that the cops hauled you in , questioned you about everything you saw . tj : and i did n't tell them anything . i swear . julian : i know that , tj but i think you should . sam : okay . the key witness against silas is a pharmacist named nakamura . silas : he claims that i wrote and he filled a prescription for a liquid antidepressant that caused nina 's overdose . delia : but you did n't , right ? this guy nakamura -- he 's lying through his teeth ? silas : absolutely . we believe that ava stole a scrip from my prescription pad and she forged my name and then she administered the overdose . delia : why is he sticking with his story ? silas : i do n't know . maybe ava threatened him or she paid him off . i mean , either way , we just need to get him to admit it . sam : and that , delia , is where you come in . delia : excellent . how ? silas : well , it would seem that mr. nakamura has a weakness for beautiful blondes -- i mean , at least according to his online dating profile . delia : online dating profile ? silas : mm . sam : yeah . um , and here is the , um -- the one that i took the liberty of making up for you . delia : whoa , whoa ! what -- what -- no , no , no , no . i do n't do online dating . you know , i 'm married to roger . you know , my dating days are done . silas : no , it would n't be a real date . sam : no , not a real date . you would just pretend to go on a date with nakamura . delia : pretend , huh ? silas : mm . delia : i 'm very good at that . so , what do i do on this pretend date ? silas : well , i might be going out on a limb here , but you 're a good talker , are n't you ? delia : [ laughing ] are you kidding ? i 'm an irish bar maid . that 's what i do . sam : excellent . silas : excellent . sam : and that 's exactly what you need to do . you just work him a little bit -- flirt with him , soften him up , use whatever information against ava to kind of ... delia : get him to admit that he 's in cahoots with ava . sam : yes . exactly . silas : exactly . sam : but , in the meantime , we 're gon na need you to record the whole conversation . delia : i got to wear a wire ? ! you know , i have always wanted to do that . sam : yeah ? delia : mm - hmm . silas : well , that 's ... sam : great . silas : ... great . sam : okay , great . well , then , all we need for you to do is , uh , press `` send `` and agree to ... this message . delia : hold on . wait a minute . let me see this . okay . um ... sam : here . it 's over here . delia : okay . all right . that him ? okay . so , it says here , `` you like blondes and i like science - y guys . hit me up and we 'll see if there 's chemistry . `` uh- huh . uh - huh . yeah . well , that sounds like me . sam : great . okay . well , then , what do you say ? let 's get the ball rolling . with any luck , he 'll like what he sees and he 'll hit you . delia : i say let 's do this thing . carlos : you really killed sonny 's girlfriend ? ava : i had no choice . carlos : look , the letters -- the letters in the blood -- `` aj . `` ava : yeah , it did n't stand for `` alan jr. `` carlos : ava jerome . ava : but no one could know that i was ever there , and i made sure of that . carlos : okay , wait . but ... if you -- you shot connie , how were aj 's prints on the gun and yours were n't ? ava : yeah , well , that -- [ chuckles ] that was tricky . after i shot connie , i high - tailed it back to the quartermaines ' . monica and tracy had n't kicked me out yet , so it was n't unusual for me to be there . and i saw aj , passed out , his poor son trying to help him . carlos : so , you got rid of the kid ? ava : yeah , i encouraged him to make a pot of coffee to help sober his father up . carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : when he left the room , i went to work . after i got aj 's prints on the gun , i stashed it in some bushes outside the boathouse . of course , i told aj that i tried to throw it into the lake but i missed . carlos : [ laughs ] he bought that ? ava : i told him i felt bad about it . carlos : you thought of everything . ava : yeah . but there 's just one problem . aj 's starting to remember what really happened . molly : what are you doing here ? alexis : i 'd like to know the answer to that , too . ric : is there something wrong with a father paying a visit to his daughter ? alexis : no , if that 's actually the reason that you 're here . ric : well , you know , it 's gon na be really hard for you to give me a hug from way over there . molly : daddy , it 's so good to see you . ric : oh , you , too , baby . oh , my gosh . look at you . you 're not a little girl anymore . molly : thank you for noticing , but you might want to tell mom that , because she still treats me like a child . ric : oh . is that what you two were arguing about ? molly : ask her . alexis : let 's just say that it was a bad day for you to show up unannounced . ric : you two have always been so tight . i ca n't imagine seeing the two of you shouting at each other like this . alexis : well , maybe if you had been here for the first half of her adolescence , your imagination would be more accommodating . ric : oh , what could she possibly have done , huh ? well , come on . which one of you is gon na tell me what 's going on ? alexis : we had a mother - daughter argument . ric : alexis , i 'm still her father . alexis : really ? ! who knew ? ric : look , what could she have possibly done to make you so angry ? she 's always been such a good girl . alexis : well , your good little girl lied to me and went to a hotel room to have sex with her boyfriend . god knows how many other times she 's done that . molly : never ! tonight was the first time ! tj had gone out of his way to make sure that everything was perfect . we were being safe ! we were being responsible ! we were ready for this ! alexis : molly , i know you think you were ready , but you are far too young . molly : we love each other , mom ! do you know what that means ? ! we were n't doing anything wrong . alexis : ric , will you please tell your daughter that what she did tonight was wrong ? ric : i 'm afraid i ca n't do that , alexis . i agree with molly . sam : okay . we 've set the trap . now we wait . delia : all right . so , doc , let me ask you something . silas : hmm ? delia : you know , uh , i know your wife is in a coma , but have you told her that you 've kind of ... moved on ? silas : i have n't seen nina in almost 20 years . her family has her kept in a secure facility . delia : that 's rough . silas : yeah , it is . delia : but she 's still your wife . silas : technically , yes . delia : really ? silas : mm - hmm . delia : i mean , you know , i have a history , too , but , you know , do n't get me wrong , 'cause i really like you guys , but you 're kind of cheating on your wife with her just like the way you cheated with ava . silas : you know , nina 's been trapped in that bed for almost two decades . that 's about the same amount of time that i 've punished myself . at some point , i just stopped feeling . and sometime after that , it just did n't feel like i had a wife . delia : so , why do n't you get a divorce ? [ computer beeps ] sam : that was fast ! delia : all right ! nakamura took the bait . sam : yes . was there ever any doubt ? okay . now all we have to do is reel him in . silas : but it 's ava we 're gon na catch . ava : aj is not the most stable guy , especially when he 's been drinking . carlos : you think that 's why he was so rough with you just now -- he 's starting to remember you 're actually lying to him ? ava : i think he 's beginning to suspect that there 's more to the story than what i 've told him . carlos : [ sighs ] what does he know ? ava : he remembers seeing me there that night . but he does n't remember that he never fired the gun at connie . carlos : what did you tell him about that night ? ava : i told him that connie was dead by the time i got there . carlos : how 'd you explain picking up the gun ? ava : that i was protecting him to hold on to my connection to elq . and i even told him that i destroyed the security footage of the crime to spare him . carlos : seems a little far - fetched , huh ? ava : carlos , i 'm convincing . [ chuckles ] plus that i admitted that i was really covering for the both of us , because with the security footage gone , no one would know that i had ever been there . carlos : so , you told a lie that was partially the truth . ava : ai n't those the best kind ? carlos : [ clicks tongue ] ava : [ chuckles ] and then all i had to do , of course , was get aj to keep his big mouth shut . carlos : saving his own ass was n't reason enough ? ava : aj quartermaine defines the phrase `` self - destructive . `` i even warned him that if he told anybody that i 'd been there , that i would be forced to confirm beyond a doubt that he is actually the one who killed connie . carlos : well , seems to be working so far . ava : yeah , so far . but you saw aj , carlos . he 's turning into a big problem . if he remembers that he is n't the killer and he tells somebody that i was there , i 'll be in a bit of a pickle . carlos : think he 'd go to the cops ? ava : worse . he 'd go to sonny . and if sonny finds out that i killed connie ... i 'm as dead as she is . olivia : so , wait a minute -- ava jerome told you that aj is not sorry that he killed connie ? sonny : she said he had no remorse . yeah . olivia : okay . wait a minute . aj came here to get a job from julian , and what the hell are they even talking about connie for ? why would they even bring that up ? sonny : i do n't -- maybe because this is where connie died . i know michael 's been saying that , you know , aj 's all torn up and he does n't remember killing her , but that 's a bunch of bull ! i do n't buy it ! he did n't apologize to me , did he ? he apologize to you ? olivia : what , are you kidding me ? sonny : exactly . aj 's got the perfect insurance , you know , policy -- michael begging for his life . he knows that i promised michael that i would n't kill him , so that 's all that it 's about . olivia : it does n't do any good to dwell on this . sonny : well , what if ava 's right ? what if he 's laughing at us -- right ? -- and he 's just -- he 's got one over on us ? olivia : it just -- it makes it worse if you think about it like that . sonny : i swear to god , olivia ... if it 's the last thing i do , i 'm gon na make this son of a bitch pay ... for what he did to our girl . ric : molly , sweetheart , i 'm sorry that your night ended so badly , okay ? molly : see , mom ? ! you 're being totally irrational ! alexis : yes , clearly . all the years that i spent providing you with food , shelter , clothing , and an education has clouded my judgment . by all means , listen to the parent who 's raising you on skype . ric : oh , come on , alexis ! she just told you she was in love . and from what i can see , she and the boy were acting responsibly . molly : we were ! thank you , dad , for seeing that ! alexis : yeah , thanks , dad . so , if you 're a paragon of responsibility , why did n't you tell me where you were going and why did you lie to me ? ric : well , obviously , if she would have told you , you would n't have let her go . molly : or is dad wrong about that ? alexis : no , no , dad 's right . i would n't have let you go , and i would have been right now , too . ric : you have been right to humiliate our daughter in front of her boyfriend and make her feel ashamed ? alexis : where do you get off having an opinion ? ric : oh , sorry . alexis : you were n't here . i have raised our daughter . ric : yes , yes , as you said over and over again , but i did n't really acknowledge it , alexis , as you -- alexis : you just come waltzing in here , telling her that everything she 's done and says is fine , even though what she did and said was stupid ! ric : at least i 'm not the sex police hunting our daughter down in a hotel room ! molly : how did you even know i was there anyway ? you never said . alexis : that is none of your business . julian : i think it 's time that sonny and son were brought to justice , and you 're gon na be the eyewitness who gets that ball rolling . tj : and what if i do n't ? what are you gon na do to me -- kill me ? julian : did i say anything about killing anyone ? tj : no , you did n't say it . julian : oh , that 's right . you did . sonny and his goombah shawn told you not to talk to the cops , so you clammed up . now , that was the right thing to do at the time , but now i strongly urge you to do your civic duty . you go back to anna devane . tell her the whole story from beginning to end about who shot whom at the warehouse . it 's the right thing to do . oh , uh , listen , i 'm sorry that alexis and i messed up your night with molly . if you play your cards right , in a few years , maybe you 'll get another chance , huh ? molly : rafe . you 're here . rafe : yeah . i was just babysitting danny for your mom . molly : oh , really ? was n't it lucky that you just happened to be here when my mom had to come to the metro court to bust in on tj and me ? rafe : molly , i do n't -- molly : you what , rafe ? ! you saw me and tj at the hotel and you had to come running to my mother to tattle on us ? ! i ca n't believe this ! you used to be so cool ! when did you become such a snake , such a nasty little weasel ? ! ric : well , she referred to him as a rodent and a reptile . well , i 'm proud . molly : i should have known rafe was your little spy ! alexis : all right . you are upset . you need to calm down so we can talk about this . molly : talk about this ? ! why would we talk about this when i have nothing to say to you ? ! alexis : [ sighs ] [ footsteps stomp , door slams ] ric : well , i see the two of you are getting along swimmingly in my absence . alexis : thank you so much for your help . [ sighs ] what the hell are you doing here , anyway ? ric : well , is n't it obvious ? i 'm here to see my daughter . sonny : i do n't want to say this out loud , but you know what ? killing aj is always in the back of my mind . olivia : sonny , you ca n't . you can not do that to michael . sonny : why -- why not ? why not ? i mean , i 'd be saving him from years of cleaning up after aj . olivia : but that 's not for you to decide . sonny : i 'm his father . and you know what ? it 's my job to protect my son , and that 's what i 'm doing , you know ? think of it this way -- i 'd be getting justice for connie and freeing michael of that son of a bitch . it would be done ! olivia : you would be breaking his heart . are you really willing to break a promise like that to your son ? sonny : i know i made a promise to michael , but every day it eats me up inside to know that the -- the person who took connie 's life is out there walking around , causing other people pain and sorrow , treating connie 's death like it was nothing ... olivia : sonny ... sonny : ... like it did n't mean anything ! that person has to be punished , has to be taken off the street ... or her death means nothing ! ava : i 've been planting seeds . i 've been trying to stoke sonny 's hatred for aj . i even told him that aj was n't sorry for what he 'd done . carlos : [ snickers ] oh , i bet that pissed corinthos off . ava : unfortunately , not enough for sonny to break his promise to michael . carlos : why would corinthos iii give a damn about aj ? ava : aj is michael 's biological father , and so michael made sonny promise not to kill him . so , if sonny wo n't whack him ... i got to find another way to get aj out of my hair , before he remembers everything and tells someone . carlos : you 're gon na take him out . you gon na kill aj ? delia : `` ca n't wait to meet you , too . how 'bout tomorrow night at ryan 's bar ? `` ryan 's bar ? you want me to have my fake date here ? sam : well , yeah . it 'll give us home - court advantage . silas : home court . delia : okay . i 'll make sure roger goes to the track . silas : yeah , that might be a good idea . delia : so , what about that wire ? sam : um , do n't worry about that . i 'll take care of that before nakamura gets here tomorrow . delia : are you two going back and forth to port charles ? silas : no . we checked in to a hotel around the corner . sam : thank you so much for doing this for us . silas : we appreciate it . delia : hey , no problem . sam : even if it does mean putting your own daughter behind bars ? delia : listen , if ava is guilty , then prison is exactly where she belongs . carlos : ava , you 're gon na kill aj ? ava : i have nothing personal against aj . he 's amusing . he can be charming , except when he 's drinking . now , after he was acquitted of killing connie and the case was shelved , i 'd have been fine letting him live out the rest of his life squandering his family 's money and trying their patience . but some people -- they just are n't wired for happily ever after . aj wo n't let this go . and i ca n't risk him remembering any more than he already has . it 's like what happened to connie . it 's not personal . it 's business . carlos : got to finish him . ava : i ca n't . it 'd be too easy to trace it back to me . i have to ask somebody to do it for me -- someone discreet , professional , trustworthy , someone who could end this with a minimum of collateral damage . carlos : like who ? ava : like you . | silas and sam go to new york to see ava 's mother , delia . she agrees to help them expose ava for framing silas . they tell her about the pharmacist who claims to have filled the prescription for the drug that nina overdosed on . they set up an online dating profile so that delia can meet the pharmacist and charm the truth out of him . silas offers to arrange for delia to meet kiki . delia wonders why silas does n't get a divorce from his wife . |

[ laughs ] wow . okay , where was all this , uh , self - confidence when i was rejecting you for years ? spinelli : i know you , maximista , and i saw you at kelly 's earlier , when nathan asked you to deny that you had feelings for me . you did n't convince him , and you surely did n't convince me . he told you to figure out which one of us you wanted . now , i - i do n't want to speak for you , but if the very thought of me being on your couch makes you so nervous ... maxie : [ sighs ] spinelli : ... perhaps you 've already figured out which one of us you want . you just have n't admitted it to yourself yet .

[ scene_break ] nathan : been a cassadine all of five minutes , but i 'm crazy about spencer . alexis : yeah , we all are . he 's a special little boy . and i 'll tell you , nikolas is gon na to the ends of the earth to try to save him . nathan : yeah . hey , listen , i really appreciate you looking after my sister 's interests , especially with spencer in the hospital . really , i -- i do n't know where we 'd be if you had n't fought so hard for nina . [ scene_break ] nina : if it makes you feel good to call my phyllis , you can call me phyllis . you can call me any name you want . and you can , um ... you can laugh and yell and scream at me , and you can tell me your deepest , darkest secrets . i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm gon na ride this out . i 'm not gon na abandon you . guard : here she is . alexis : thank you . oh . nina : [ chuckles ] i 'm so happy to see you ! nathan : hey , nina . i 'm happy to see you , too . you 're gon na be even happier when you hear our news . alexis just came from the courts . you 're getting out of here . nina : i 'm getting out of here ? nathan : mm - hmm . nina : how ? why ? alexis : just ... is there someplace else we can talk ? nina : no , i have to take care of franco . alexis : okay . well , then we 'll talk right here . so , there was a hearing this morning about your case to review -- uh , the damages and your charges -- and the doctors have testified that you were not in your right mind when you kidnapped ava 's baby , that you believed you were the infant 's mother , and that silas was the infant 's father . the doctors also testified that , after treatment , you have fully recovered , that you 're aware of reality , that you are not the baby 's parent , neither is silas . therefore , the charges against you have been dropped . nina : that 's amazing . i - i - i ca n't believe it . um ... nathan : you 're free , nina . they 've released you . you 're going home today . nina : oh , my god . thank you . thank you . thank you for always believing in me . thank you . nathan : always . nina : hey ! did you hear that , franco ? franco . i 'm ... i do n't have to stay here anymore . i 'm leaving . but -- but i 'm gon na visit you every day , i promise . alexis : no , i 'm sorry , nina . i 'm afraid that ca n't happen . [ scene_break ] carly : what the hell was diane thinking sending you ? ric : well , miss miller is dealing with another case . she 's not able to make the custody hearing . she wants to make sure that sonny has the best possible representation . carly : you ? ric : you know , personal issues aside , carly , i happen to be an excellent attorney . and i am your brother ... which means i have an incentive to fight for you even harder . sonny : really ? ric : is this gon na be a problem ? carly : oh , yeah . it -- it 's gon na be a big problem . [ scene_break ] morgan : dad did n't get to see avery the whole time he was in prison , michael . the whole time -- michael : he spent three months of what was supposed to be a life sentence . morgan : oh , my god . he did n't get to see her until he was pardoned . now you 're gon na take her away from him ? what 's wrong with you ? michael : nothing is wrong with me ! i care about what happens to avery , unlike you two . kiki : [ scoffs ] excuse me . i took care of her for months . i fed her , and i bathed her , and i rocked her to sleep ! okay ? i love her ! michael : okay , if you love her , then why did you hand her over to a killer ? kiki : i did not just hand her over , okay ? i thought it through , and morgan and i talked about it . morgan : she was gon na take custody of avery . kiki : but then i thought about what avery would 've wanted . she 's already lost her mother . she deserves to know her dad . and , okay , he is who he is . but he loves her , and nobody has the right to keep him from his child . michael : sonny was about to murder ava the night avery was born . i stopped him . now you want to side with sonny . but you two -- you two are in this together . i - i get that . you 're supporting sonny 's rights as a father . but who here is really looking out for what 's best for avery ? morgan : what are you talking about ? dude , you do n't even know avery . you saw her one time when you came to kick us out of the brownstone . was that because you cared about her so much ? michael : i care enough to want to keep her safe . morgan : oh , you 're full of it , michael . you do n't love her . the judge is gon na see that . you 're just doing this to hurt dad . michael : you know , you -- [ scoffs ] you were kidnapped when you were a baby , morgan . you probably do n't remember that . but you remember when i was shot in the head , and i spent a year in a coma . you remember all those times we spent at the island because it was n't safe to live at home with dad ? and you were sent off to military school for those exact same reasons . sonny is a criminal . he 's dangerous to avery . that 's why i 'm gon na win custody . sonny 's never gon na see avery again . and neither are you or kiki . [ scene_break ] ric : i was asking sonny . sonny : if i have a problem with you representing me ? ric : yeah . do you ? sonny : well , last year , when you first came to town , i thought you were coming after my business . so , yeah , i had a problem with you then . but then i found out that , uh , luke set you up . ric : yeah , and i 'd be a dead man if you had n't sent shawn in to save me . sonny : right . i almost got a bullet in my head , but butler did his job , thanks to you . so ... why do n't you let me pay back the favor and help you hang on to that beautiful , little niece of mine ? sonny , i promise you , i will fight like hell for you . carly : like the way you fought for jake ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : can you tell me how jake doe is doing ? he 's in the icu . nurse : i was just up there . he is n't awake yet , but he seems to have had a good night . elizabeth : okay . thanks . [ scene_break ] nikolas : do n't play games with me . i know my uncle victor is n't nathan 's father . dr. obrecht : why would you say such a thing ? nikolas : my grandmother filled me in , so do n't use your son to soften me up about mine ! you just get somebody in here to help spencer . you understand me ? dr. obrecht : nikolas , i know what it 's like to have a son in pain . i 'm trying to help you if you 'd only let me . elizabeth : what is going on ? are you okay ? nikolas : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . we were just discussing spencer 's case . how can you help ? dr. obrecht : i 've spoken with the doctors who have been treating him . the best course of action is for me to discharge spencer from general hospital . [ scene_break ] sonny : what happened between ric and jake that you would even bring this up ? carly : elizabeth told me everything that happened before i left the hospital last night . ric : yeah , it 's a misunderstanding . carly : no , it 's not . it 's classic ric . elizabeth asked ric to defend jake , and he agrees , and then he `` advises `` jake to plead guilty . he wants jake to send himself to prison for 25 years . then he comes up with an excuse that there 's no way a jury would acquit , when the truth is that ric feels threatened by jake . and we all know how ric reacts when he feels threatened or when he 's scared . he wants to get rid of whatever scares him , right ? and you 're afraid that elizabeth has feelings for jake . so you want him out of the way . did i get that right ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : how can you possibly discharge spencer ? nikolas : she 's retaliating . i kicked britta out , so she 's doing the same thing to spencer , never mind that he 's burned and suffering from smoke inhalation . forget that . dr. obrecht : i see you are both not thinking clearly ... elizabeth : [ scoffs ] dr. obrecht : ... which i would expect from a distraught father but not from a member of my staff , nurse webber . allow me to finish . spencer needs expert treatment for his injuries , and while i 've seen to it that our pediatrics department excels in every way , his needs will be better served by shriners hospitals for children . they provide critical , surgical , and rehabilitative pediatric burn care regardless of a family 's ability to pay . nikolas : uh , money is no object . i only want the finest care for spencer . and that is what he 'll receive . dr. obrecht : shriners hospitals for children have world - renowned doctors who specialize in treating patients like spencer . i 've spoken to the facility in boston . i 'd send my own child there . elizabeth : so would i. spencer will receive the very best care there . nikolas : fine . how soon can we make it happen ? [ scene_break ] ric : what happened was between me and elizabeth and is none of your business . carly : it 's sonny 's business , okay ? sonny needs a lawyer who 's going to have his best interest in mind -- okay ? -- not someone that 's gon na use his position of trust to sabotage him like you did to jake . ric : okay , okay . sonny , this ... [ chuckles ] this incident has absolutely no bearing on your case . all right , look -- avery is my niece . i want what 's best for her . i will do everything in my power to make sure that you retain custody of your daughter . but if you are uncomfortable with me representing you , i will go to the judge and talk to him , and we will get a continuance so that i can find you somebody else . ric : you do n't need to do that . [ scene_break ] silas : knock it off , both of you ! hey ! come on ! what 's wrong with you ? hitting each other ai n't gon na solve anything . you 're grown men , supposedly . act like it . and have a little respect , all right ? kiki 's mom is missing and presumed dead . where 's your compassion , huh ? you spent a - a year with my daughter . you said you loved her . is all that gone now ? michael : ava killed connie and framed my father . kiki : so , what ? she deserved to die ? is that what you 're saying ? michael : no . what i 'm saying is i know what it 's like to lose a parent . kiki : [ sighs ] thanks , dad . you tried . [ pager beeping ] morgan : i 'm sorry . silas : all right . morgan : i 'm sorry . are you okay ? silas : hey , listen -- i 'm sorry to do this . i got -- i got to leave town for a day or two . a - a colleague 's calling me in on a critical case . kiki : i - i understand . silas : yeah ? just be gone for a couple days , all right ? so , i -- i ca n't do anything on this michael thing , but ... about your mom , whatever you decide , i 'm fine with it . but , you know , if you do n't feel like saying goodbye , you can wait . kiki : do you think i should ? silas : i ca n't make that decision for you , sweetheart . you got to do it yourself . i 'm just sorry you have -- you have so many things you have to handle right now . kiki : hey . bye , dad . [ scene_break ] nina : you just said the charges against me would be dropped , that -- that i would be free to go . why ca n't i visit my friend franco ? alexis : because your friend franco was an accomplice in the kidnapping , so if you continue to see him , the court may think you are n't appropriately remorseful . nina : well , he needs me . nathan : nina ... look , you have to show the judges that you know the difference between right and wrong , which means you have to stay away from franco . alexis : we have an appointment , uh , with the judge . it 's just a formality , and after that , you can start your life over again . nina : okay . i understand . i 'm heading over to the courthouse . nathan : hey , i 'll -- i 'll follow you in a couple of minutes , all right ? i just want to give her a minute to say goodbye to franco . [ scene_break ] michael : alexis , finally . let 's talk some strategy . alexis : you 're too early . michael : i - i just want to know exactly how you 're gon na prove sonny 's unfit , all right ? alexis : michael , i told you -- you are not my only client . i have a hearing right now , uh , uh , for nina clay . it 's only a formality . it 's not gon na -- what happened to your lip ? michael : it 's nothing . it 's nothing . um , look , what if this whole thing with nina clay runs long ? alexis : it 's not -- it -- there 'll be plenty of time before the hearing . i told you to get herbal tea , and you went and had a latte , did n't you ? michael : okay . look , my sister 's future is on the line here . i 'd appreciate it if you do n't make jokes . alexis : okay . come sit , sit , sit . look , i do n't mean to be , but i really , really need you to relax . i also think that ... you 're not on edge so much because of the baby but because i think you 're finally realizing that when you challenge your father like this , it might , uh , sever ties with him and the rest of your family . and you must know , michael , that if you challenge him in this way , you may not be able to reconcile with your father or the rest of your family . and i know you do n't want to have anything to do with them right now , but never is a long time . michael : [ sighs ] ric : you 're right . she 's beautiful . [ scene_break ] kiki : i was so torn up about giving avery to sonny . i did n't know what my mom would 've wanted for avery , but ... you know , i remember how much it meant when i finally got to meet silas . and i did n't want avery to go through what i went through , you know ? i want her to know her dad . morgan : well , i mean , my dad 's a good guy . she 'd be better off knowing him . kiki : and he loves her . i can see that . but , you know , what if she ends up with michael ? he does n't even care about her . he 's just using her . and you heard him -- he 'll never let us see her . i should 've fought for custody , you know ? maybe if she were with me , michael would n't be doing this . morgan : honestly , michael 's on a warpath . there 's no telling what he would do . [ chuckles ] kiki : what about avery ? morgan : he 's not gon na win custody . she 's gon na stay with my dad , and you 're gon na get to see her anytime you want to see her . kiki : you sure ? morgan : yes , i 'm 100 % positive , okay ? michael 's a single guy . he works 24/7 . no one 's gon na give him a kid . kiki : yeah . you know what ? you 're right . morgan : come on . let 's -- let 's set a time and a place for ava 's memorial .

[ scene_break ] michael : that 's a , uh , interesting choice for a lawyer -- the man who held carly captive , who was gon na take morgan right when he was born and give him to his wife . you 're okay siding with the man who chained you to a wall ? carly : i 'm not okay with any of this . michael : right . but you 're still siding with sonny . carly : and you 're in this alone , michael . you do n't have to put yourself through this . michael : yes , i do . for her sake . carly : hey , princess . you have n't seen her in a while . michael : yeah , morgan already made that point . does n't affect the case . carly : really ? you have n't even held her . do n't you want to know what you 're fighting for ? you 're such a good girl , are n't you ? you are . would you like to meet your big brother ? avery , this is michael . michael ... ... this is avery .

[ scene_break ] faith : ok . [ scene_break ] sonny : carly did n't tell me what ? carly : we just had a meeting this morning , but if it 's a problem , i mean , i can come back later . sonny : no , no , i got somewhere i got to be anyway . you guys can get back to your business stuff . we 'll work on that project later , right ? carly : yeah , ok . sonny : all right . see you then . carly : love you . ric : so , what -- what project is sonny talking about ? carly : it 's personal . ric : well , i mean , if it 's something to do with , you know , some legal thing i can handle -- carly : it 's none of your business , ric . ric : you know , is it my imagination , or is sonny starting to thaw to me a little bit ? do i have you to thank for that ? carly : i have not tried to make you look good to sonny again , and i will not . ric : well , he does need a good attorney . carly : ric , i tried pushing you on sonny once before , and it backfired . ok ? he got all suspicious . he wanted to know what my agenda was , so i 'm done . ric : well , but maybe you could subtlely hint as to , you know -- carly : oh , i see . we 're back to that now ? ric : mm - hmm . carly : we 're back to blackmail . if i do n't subtlely hint to sonny that you should be his attorney , you 're going to tell him about our night in the motel . is that the deal , ric ? tell me what you 're thinking here . ric : i think you 're looking at this in the wrong way , all right ? there 's no reason to dredge up that particular night . it 's not going to do either of us any good . the fact is that nobody 's going to be able to protect sonny 's interests the way i can . carly : yeah , well , he 'd need to trust you . [ scene_break ] ric : now , look , i have done enough legal work for sonny already , ok ? i got the evidence that proved jason and brenda were innocent of alcazar 's murder . i also got sonny and jason released from the pcpd , all right ? i have proven myself that i am good at what i do . so i 'm merely suggesting that if some sort of crisis happens to arise , that you can tell sonny that i 'm the solution . everybody gets what they want .

[ scene_break ] alexis : what if being crazy is the only way out ? [ scene_break ] skye : the most surprising part is i do n't hate jax . i should . you know me . even more than alcohol , i 'm addicted to revenge . when someone hurts me , i want to pay them back . i want them to suffer . i thought that 's what i wanted to do to jax , but the truth is i care about him more than i ever did . so tell me , daddy , what 's more ridiculous -- the fury of a woman scorned or that same woman still drawn to the very man who scorned her ? [ scene_break ] alan : well , now is the time for me to give you some wise advice . you see , love is n't supposed to make you miserable . it 's supposed to fill up your life , not plunge you into darkness . but i am hardly the person to tell you that seeing as monica has made me miserable most of my life and continues to do so . but what i do know for sure is that you deserve to be happy . you deserve to come first . and if jax is not the man who can do that , you need to move on and find someone who can .

[ scene_break ] carly : you know , it 's like everything you said earlier , that if sonny really loved his kids , he should just stay away from them . that 's exactly what i thought . when michael was shot , i went into overdrive . i got jason to force sonny into giving me sole custody . but i do n't know . did that do anything ? did it fix anything ? i felt a little safer knowing that -- jax : no , it 's not a feeling , carly . that 's a fact . carly : is n't it hypocritical , though ? i mean , i make sonny my children 's father , and then i just take the boys away from him because what ? he 's the same man always was living the same life i always knew about ? jax : no , it 's not . you 're not being hypocritical . you just learned the dangers of sonny 's world and you adjusted your plans for your kids accordingly . carly : so you think that i should tell sonny that he ca n't see michael and morgan anymore . jax : no , that 's -- no . we 've had that conversation before . i would n't ask you to do that . i just wish that sonny would voluntarily renounce his children , that he would put michael and morgan and kristina first instead of his big ego . carly : that 's not going to happen . jax : i know that 's not going to happen . sonny 's always about sonny , and it 'll stay that way . and i mean , all you have to do is look at what 's happening tonight to prove that . carly : okay , you know , we do n't really know what 's going on , though , with this . jax : well , we know that sonny married claudia zacchara so he could get control of the zacchara crime family . we know that he turned his back on his so - called best friend , jason , in order to do it . i mean , in my world , in the corporate world , that would mean that sonny is in the middle of a hostile take - over , and one of the existing board members is putting up a fight . and in my world , that would mean targeting capital and holdings . in sonny 's world , unfortunately , that means targeting his family . carly : what do i do ? jax : i 'm sorry . it feels like i 'm bullying you . am i ? carly : no , no , no , not at all . i mean , everything you 're saying , i thought myself . this is sonny , you know ? i mean , you were n't there when he saw morgan at christmas . and when we sat next to michael together on michael 's birthday , i -- i forgave him . i did , and i really let go of a lot of anger and i have a lot of peace right now . i do n't want to lose that .

[ spinelli scoffs ] spinelli : an apple , much like the one eve herself could not resist in the garden of eden . kate : lulu , any word from maxie ? spinelli : yes , two words -- cease and desist . they would be very good words . in fact , if the glacial one continues to foster unnecessary and inappropriate contact between fair maximista and the mob prince , i will be forced to crash all of your systems , both personal and professional . kate : lulu , are you part of this problem or part of the solution ? [ scene_break ] ethan : i take full and complete responsibility for my behavior . luke : why do n't you just promise that you 'll never steal anything again ? ethan : i ca n't make that promise . i 'm sorry , but i have to support myself . you know , sometimes making ends meet means doing stuff i 'm not proud of . tracy : you would n't be the first . ethan : i should never have taken advantage of your kindness and good nature . tracy : well , it 's not as if i ca n't spare the money . luke : popsicle , did that poison affect you more than you realized ? tracy : it 's like looking in the mirror , is n't it , luke ? except a few decades later and a lot more hair . luke : ouch . i knew ethan lovett about two hours and he relieved me of five large . ethan : well , i gave that back . luke : you still owe me 600 bucks . tracy : ooh , i have a plan . how about mr. lovett gives me the $ 600 and i apply it to your debt ? and that way , it 'll only take you a thousand years to pay me off . luke : sweetheart , we 're married . everything i have is already yours . and if mr. lovett steals the money from you or me , we 're both still out the cash . tracy : good point . in that case , i forgive your debt . you 're free and clear . ethan : thank you .

[ chuckles ] one of the many qualities i 've delighted in over the years . but , unfortunately , all good things must come to an end . luke : yes , and nightmares just go on and on . helena : oh , alas , my dear luke , but the day of reckoning is upon us . luke : well , that 's too bad , 'cause i 'm a nonbeliever , darling . helena : well , i would think that the scriptures would be fascinating to you -- all those passages about retribution -- an eye for an eye . and in this case ... a son for a son . [ baby cooing ] spinelli : most curious .

[ sniffles ] patrick : i 'll tell him . sam : listen , you -- you -- you ca n't -- you ca n't tell jason about robin . it could kill him . patrick : save us a whole lot of trouble , would n't it ? sam : you ca n't say a word . jason : hey . robin : hi . jason : i 'm glad you 're here . robin : where else would i be ? jason : sam said there was an explosion . were you hurt ? robin : i 'm not feeling any pain . and soon , you wo n't , either . jason : thank you . robin : it 's okay . i know what you want . jason : yeah , i just want a life with sam and our baby . monica : you 'll have all that . jason ? jason ? you were talking in your sleep . i thought -- i thought robin was here . patrick : robin is dead , and now you want me to keep it a secret on top of that ? sam : please . i 'm -- i 'm begging you . any upsetting news could be fatal . you even said it . patrick : `` upsetting news , `` sam ? my wife is dead because of jason , and now you want me to protect his feelings . you do n't stop , do you ? i have something to tell you about robin . lulu : life is strange sometimes . dante : how so ? lulu : i worry about your job , and here you are -- you 're perfectly healthy , and we 're happily married , and ... dante : and ? lulu : robin was a doctor , and her job was perfectly safe , and she had a happy marriage and a future ahead of her , and , in a split second , it 's all gone . she 's killed in a horrible accident . how does that make any sense ? dante : it does n't . lulu : i just ca n't believe it happened . hmm . oh , my god . has anyone told maxie yet ? dante : no . mac -- mac is on his way to tell her . lulu : we should call her . dante : no . you know what ? give her -- give her some time with mac , okay ? there 's nothing we can do to help , anyway . we 'll just say a prayer for robin and her family . lulu : how can you believe in god after something like this ? dante : how can you not believe in god ? he brought me home to you tonight . lulu : i do n't know . i just -- you 're lucky that you have that . it just does n't work for me . everything is too random . i guess that 's why my dad did n't believe in anything , and he thought that we created our own destiny ... or we die trying . helena : oh , my plan was brilliant -- making your son fall in love with my daughter , the same way my sons fell in love with laura . [ chuckles ] perfect symmetry ... do n't you think ? luke : [ chuckles ] i 'm not seeing it . ethan loves your daughter . laura hated your sons . helena : that insipid woman . she was their downfall , just as irina will be ethan 's . cassandra : no , i wo n't have any part of your sick and twisted plan . helena : oh , my poor child . you were not just a part of the plan . it is your whole reason for being . mac : maxie has n't come home from the benefit ? spinelli : like i said , um , my best guess is that she 's off somewhere attempting ... mac : spinelli , this is important . maxie needs to be told . spinelli : well , i - i 'd be happy to convey a message . mac : no , you ca n't . uh , she has to hear this from me . her cousin robin is dead . spinelli : what ? dr. robin is gone ? maxie : i made a mistake , okay ? i 'm sorry . matt : you 're -- you 're sorry ? elizabeth is raising two kids on her own , and you got her suspended . maxie : it 's not like she 'll be living on the streets , okay ? there 's plenty of people that can help her . matt : i 'm not feeling the apology yet . maxie : you know what , matt ? it was your fault . you 're the one that was spending all that time with her . matt : we 're co - workers , okay ? at least we were , until someone decided to go to monica and tell her that elizabeth was taking pills from the hospital ... maxie : you are more than just co - workers with her , okay ? you spent all that time with her , and you flirted with her . you told her all about your research . you took her out to dinner . you practically chased after her . matt : you really -- you really want to get into this right now ? maxie : i got jealous , matt , okay ? any self - respecting girlfriend -- matt : that 's it ! that 's it ! i 'm done . i 'm -- maxie : are you okay ? matt : oh , my god . [ groans ] maxie : you all right ? matt : yeah , i 'm all right , besides my brain in floating around in a vat of whiskey right now and ... absolutely stupefied at what you did . no , i 'm not all right ! maxie : i said i 'm sorry , okay ? i made a mistake . matt : it 's -- it 's -- it 's done . it does n't -- it 's over . it 's over now . it does n't -- we 're done . i - i need to get out of here . i look really bad . maxie : wait , matt , okay ? i 'll make it right . matt : how ? maxie : i do n't know . i 'll get elizabeth her job back . matt : the damage is already done . maxie : no , i 'll tell -- i 'll tell monica that i was confused , mistaken about what i said . matt : okay . fine . maxie : now ? matt : yeah . jason : what about robin ? patrick : she 's gone . jason : gone ? what do -- what do you mean ? patrick : she was working 24/7 to find ... sam : robin -- robin went home to get some rest . patrick : she should have been home spending time with emma , but she felt a responsibility towards you . jason : she 's been an amazing friend to me . patrick : i hope you appreciate everything she 's given up for you . cassandra : this has to stop . you ca n't do this . helena : oh , i can , and i have many times . but ... maybe i 'll stay my hand . cassandra : you 're not gon na kill him ? helena : no , my dear . you are . lulu : did mac say anything else about what happened ? dante : not a lot . he was -- he was so upset . you should have seen his face . i mean , he loved robin . lulu : he was like a father to her , when her own father could n't be bothered ... which i guess is why my dad and robert got along so well . [ knock on door ] dante : [ sighs ] michael : hey . dante : hey . michael : hey . dante : is , uh , sonny still at the hospital ? michael : he asked me to check on jason . when i got back to the e.r . , dad was gone . dante : and headed straight for anthony . starr : [ grunts ] [ door handle rattling ] oh ! help ! help , please ! please help us ! help ! help ! please ! somebody help us ! cole ! cole ! please ! please ! you have to wake up . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . thank god . cole : what happened ?

of course you do . um , well , you know , i -- i was having a runny nose that day , and i was taking this really strong medicine . you know , they should put a warning on that bottle , because i was in a fog all day . i mean , completely delusional . like , hallucinating . matt : hallucinating ? what are you talking -- maxie : shh ! um , the point is that elizabeth did not deserve to be suspended , and you should give her her job back and give her a raise . all better . jason : i do . i do . i appreciate everything robin 's done for me . patrick : if you want to repay robin , make your life worth saving . we go in an hour . a nurse will be in to prep you . sam : well , this is it . by the end of the night , this will all be behind us . monica : uh , maybe we should ask dr. morucci to do -- sam : patrick is here , and he 's the best . he should do it . patrick : yeah . why would i need another surgeon ? monica : uh , because patrick is -- he 's exhausted , and he 's distracted . sam : but patrick has been jason 's surgeon all along , so ... jason : this is , uh , minor surgery . that 's what robin -- robin told me . sam : patrick pulled you through before . he 'll do it again . spinelli : you have my ... deepest condolences . dr. robin was beloved my all . mac : thank you , spinelli . spinelli : she was a kind and caring person and a most dedicated doctor . m - maximista often expressed her admiration for how robin put the needs of others above her own . mac : [ exhales sharply ] maxie 's gon na be devastated . how am i ever gon na tell her robin 's gone ? spinelli : you 'll find a way . maximista will need you . you are her family . mac : and you 're her friend , spinelli . she 'll need you , too . matt : you ca n't just leave a message and , `` oh , okay , everything 's gon na be all right now . that 's fine . `` maxie : i took back what i said . matt : yeah , you still said it , and it 's not okay . maxie : are we okay ? matt : i 'm -- i 'm tired of the games . i - i do n't know what to tell you . every time i turn around , you 're up to something , like asking spinelli to move in . maxie : i asked you to move in with me first , matt , but you turned me down . am i supposed to live with some psycho i found on the internet ? matt : you asked spinelli because you thought that would make me jealous . maxie : spinelli is my friend . matt : who is in love with you . anyone can see that . maxie : so you are jealous ? matt : i 'm exhausted , because a relationship is supposed to be a two - way street . there 's supposed to be give and take . all i do -- i give . that 's it . maxie : i give back all the time . matt : it 's all about you , maxie . the article was even all about you -- `` the woman behind the man . `` maxie : i did that for you . i was trying to get you exposure that you ca n't get in some dry medical journal , okay ?

ethan : no . no . even you would n't kill your own daughter . luke : do n't count on it . there 's not a sentimental bone in this bitch 's body . helena : oh , on the contrary . now , what could be more sympathetic , more sentimental than my waiting decades to take your son the same way you took mine ? however , if irina refuses to cooperate -- ethan : no ! no , do n't do it ! kill me with a knife , a gun , a corkscrew -- i do n't care . just , please , do n't hurt her . helena : a lovesick fool , just like his father . think about it . think about killing ethan , shooting him , as the lesser of two evils . now , i 'm sure his death will be quick , and then you 'll have your freedom and the life you 've always craved . ethan : cassandra , do it . it 's your only chance . cassandra : all right . helena : wise choice . hand my daughter the gun . cassandra : goodbye , mother ! cassandra : [ gasping ] helena : [ chuckles ] it was a test . i suspected you would fail . cassandra : blanks ?

[ footsteps approach ] both : that was close . ric : you gon na leave me hanging ? sonny : well , after everything that 's gone on between us , you know , i 'm a little cautious . ric : fair enough . but i meant what i said . things are different now . sonny : you 're different ? ric : yes . sonny : [ laughs ] ric : being away from molly made me realize what matters , okay ? sonny : uh - huh . ric : and i hated missing her , but it was a lesson that i needed to learn , and it 's changed me for the better , and i 'm just hoping that you 'll give me the opportunity to show you that . sonny : i just wish you were on the level , ric . ric : i am , sonny . sonny : you know what ? you might want to think twice about getting close to me . ric : why 's that ? sonny : because what i said earlier about people , you know , after me . it 's no joke . ric : i thought the zaccharas were out of commission . sonny : not the zaccharas . there 's -- there 's a new game in town . his name is julian jerome . alexis : are you out of your mind ? danny is a room away , and you attack his grandfather ? shawn : i did n't know danny was here . julian : yeah , of course not , because i tried to tell you . but before i said a word , the guy had me slammed up against the wall . alexis : i do n't believe this . julian : oh , the guy 's rabid . completely out of control . you know what ? if you had n't have showed up , i 'm honestly afraid of what this guy would have done to me . shawn : oh , give it a rest . alexis : all right , shawn , you need to go . shawn : but you have no idea of this guy -- alexis : shawn , please . do n't make it any worse . just go . shawn : fine . i 'll go . you just tell your little boyfriend here or whatever you want to call him to stay the hell away from tj . alexis : what are you talking about ? shawn : look , this man you trust to watch your grandson is the same man who just threatened a high schooler last night . julian : [ groans ] alexis : is that true ? sabrina : i 'm sorry . it 's none of my business what happens between you and robin . i - i should n't have pried . patrick : sabrina , if anybody has a right to ask what 's going with me or where i 'm gon na be , it 's -- it 's you . sabrina : last question . patrick : okay . sabrina : robin 's leaving . it did n't have anything to do with me , did it , or the baby ? i - i do n't think i could live with myself if it did . carly : i 'm still on pain medication , so maybe i did n't hear you correctly . robin : you heard me . i am leaving port charles . carly : with patrick and emma ? robin : alone . carly : okay . let me get this straight . international criminals fake your death , they kidnap you , they basically use you as their research monkey for two years , and when you 're finally free , finally reunited with your family , you say , `` hmm , maybe i like it better with me and my microscope `` ? robin : yeah , that 's exactly what happened . carly : then -- then correct me , robin . robin : this decision , it was n't made lightly , carly . carly : but you 're making it . robin : i did , because people ... they need me . carly : they need you ? what about your family needing you ? i mean , your -- your daughter and patrick . he just -- he just gave up a woman he loves for you . robin : patrick and i are meant to be together . carly : but yet you 're still leaving ! i - i get your research ! i really do ! but come on . i mean , you ca n't just leave your family ! they need you , too ! i do n't understand you ! robin : i do n't even know why i 'm listening to this . this has nothing to do with you , carly . carly : no , it does n't . it has everything to do with you , robin . it always does , does n't it ? robin : really ? carly : yeah , really . robin : says the self - proclaimed center of the universe . carly : i do n't know what i was thinking . i take it back . i take it all back about wanting to coexist or be friendly . i mean , you 're still the same self- absorbed , self - important martyr that you always have been . robin : carly -- carly : st. robin -- robin : carly , that is crap , okay ? if you knew anything , if you had any idea about why i 'm leaving , you would bow down and worship me . carly : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? patrick : no , sabrina , no . robin -- she 's not leaving because of you , and she 's not leaving because of the baby . all right ? i 'm really sorry that i missed the appointment . i - i just ... sabrina : it 's okay . it 's okay . you obviously have a lot going on . patrick : well , i do n't want you to think that i 'm not involved or interested in the baby , because i am , all right ? i care about you both very much . and next appointment , i 'll -- i 'll be there no matter what , all right ? sabrina : okay . patrick : okay . sabrina : [ chuckles ] just wait till you hear the heartbeat . patrick : yeah ? strong ? sabrina : oh , it sounds like -- like a horse galloping . [ chuckling ] it 's crazy . patrick : i ca n't wait . sabrina : patrick . patrick : yeah ? sabrina : i really am sorry about robin . patrick : yeah . me , too . thanks . carly : i 'm waiting . where are you going , and what am i worshipping you for ? robin : forget i said anything . carly : no , you 're the one ditching your family for some big , important reason . robin : carly , i 'm not ditching them . carly : then enlighten me , okay ? because you do n't get to throw out a statement like that and not explain what the hell you 're talking about . patrick : carly , lay off . carly : oh , my god . you are going to defend the wandering wife to the bitter end , are n't you ? patrick : i said that 's enough . carly : do you not care that robin is leaving you high and dry ? carlos : hola , chica . sabrina : [ gasps ] tracy : police are on their way . oh , luke , thank god . luke : [ sighs ] he made it to the tree line then disappeared . tracy : did you really think you were gon na catch him minutes out of the hospital ? luke : i 'm fit as a fiddle . tracy : and dumb as a post . luke : hey . i did n't want him coming back here and hurting somebody i care about . tracy : me ? luke : you . a.j . : you know , this is touching , truly . but the only person who was in any danger was yours truly . listen , that guy -- that guy purposefully waited for michael to leave . he let himself in , and then he tried to kill me . tracy : are you sure you did n't just interrupt a burglary ? a.j . : tracy , think about it . he was watching us , right ? i mean , why not just wait until i leave so that he can rob the place ? tracy : maybe he 's not the sharpest tool in the shed . a.j . : no , no , no , no . this guy had a mask on , all right ? i could not identify him . killing me was unnecessary ! luke : he 's right . so , who is it that wants you dead ? a.j . : i 'll tell you who 's at the top of the list . silas : ava knows , right ? nakamura must have figured out what we were doing . he got her down here . sam : do n't sound the alarm bells just yet . delia : so , you do n't think ava just came over here to catch up with me , do you ? sam : i do n't know , but i think if she thought that we were trying to get the goods on her , she would definitely want to stick around and lord over us . delia : oh , ava loves to lord . sam : okay , look , as far as we know , nakamura is still on his way over here for his date with you , so i say we go through with it . i mean , what do we have to lose ? alexis : i know you had a front - row seat to my hysteria with tj and molly last night , but molly is my daughter . i can handle it myself . shawn : it 's not about that . this guy does n't care about what our kids are up to unless it affects his business , right ? alexis : i 'm officially confused . shawn : the attack on sonny 's warehouse , max getting shot ? that 's what this was about . alexis : help me . julian : after you left the hotel with molly , yeah , i stayed behind , had a little chat with tj that 's all . shawn : oh , is that what you call it ? he threatened the kid . julian : what i did was urge tj to cooperate with the police , not to risk any trouble with the law by covering it up for you and sonny , to tell the police what he actually saw . alexis : which was ? julian : sonny and shawn about to execute my associate , carlos . oh , yeah . yeah . and when i showed up to intervene , they tried to kill me , too . so how about it , shawn ? go ahead . jump in anytime you think i 'm seeing something that 's not true here . ric : so jerome 's gunning for you now ? sonny : ever since he got here . as far as i can tell , years before that . seems like -- like you know something about that . ric : oh , molly , she eluded to something on the phone . i mean , she did n't go into details . i just gathered that it had something to do with sam 's biological father . sonny : you gathered right . ric : julian jerome . [ scoffs ] she drew the short straw on that one , did n't she ? sonny : sam 's rolling with it . ric : how alexis ever got involved with a criminal like that , that 's ... sonny : probably gearing up for you . ric : or you . [ chuckles ] look , sonny , we -- we 've had our moments . i 'll give you that . but jerome , he 's -- he 's on a whole ' nother level . sonny : no code . you want to come after me , that 's fine . but do n't go after my kids . ric : wait . what are you talking about ? sonny : jerome lured morgan away from the fold . ric : morgan ? wait . morgan was working for you ? and carly let you live ? sonny : he was n't then , but he is now . better working for me than that lowlife . ric : wait a minute . how did -- how did jerome ever get morgan to turn against you ? sonny : it 's a long story , but , you know , by the time morgan broke free or tried to , julian threatened his family . ric : as in you . sonny : his mother , his brothers . so , see , anybody who shares blood with me is at risk , including you . ric : i 'm not worried . jerome wo n't come after me . sonny : what makes you so sure , ric ? sam : okay , look , so you just -- you go like that and -- delia : oh , it 's got a recorder in it ! that 's cool . does he always look like that ? sam : devastatingly handsome ? delia : no , you got to relax , man . i 'm telling you , this plan is foolproof , because once i start dazzling nakamura with my beauty , my wit , and my blarney , he 's gon na be like putty in my hands , and he 's gon na tell us that he 's ava 's patsy . silas : no , not -- not just that he 's in league with ava , all right ? get him to talk about what he does , all right ? he 's a pharmacist . if you get him to bring up nina 's case or antidepressants , anything along those lines -- delia : i got it . i got it . silas : all right . she 's got it . listen , if anything goes wrong , we 're gon na be right up there keeping tabs . sam : this is really important to us . delia : i know that , but once i start shaking my tailfeathers , the guy 's not gon na know what hit him . silas : all right . just do n't really hit him , okay ? are you sure you 're okay ? delia : are you losing faith in me ? sam : no , no , no . of course not . we have faith in you . we -- we are actually so grateful that you 're doing this for us . it just kind of , i think , threw us for a loop that ava showed up . delia : well , unloop , 'cause delia 's got this under control . julian : did you and sonny not have carlos tied up for days ? did you not plan to murder him in cold blood ? you know , from my understanding , they even had carlos dig his own grave . oh , yeah . but hey , you know what ? i could have misunderstood . so the question is , shawn , did i -- did i misunderstand , hmm ? tell us . alexis : i think you need to leave , shawn . shawn : can i just ask you one thing ? alexis : i 'm not sure you 're in a position to make requests . shawn : not for me . for tj do n't hold my mistakes against him , okay ? he 's a good kid , and he loves your daughter . that 's why i came here tonight , to make sure you knew that . and as far as your boyfriend or whatever you want to call him , can you say the same for him ? julian : [ sighs ] sonny : jerome 's a pretty lethal guy . what makes you think you 're so safe , ric ? ric : you just said it yourself , sonny . only the people that are close to you are the ones that are in danger . i mean , i do n't even warrant a handshake . what value could i possibly have to jerome ? sonny : yeah . ric : besides , i 've gone up against some pretty formidable adversaries , and i 've lived to tell the tale . sonny : maybe you 've just been lucky . ric : yeah , be separated from your daughter for five years . then you tell me how lucky i am .

[ shawn grunts ] carly : congratulations . shawn : i do n't get you . carly : really ? most people would say i 'm an open book . shawn : i pulled a gun on you twice tonight , threatened you . for all you know , i had something to do with blowing brenda up on her wedding day . carly : yeah . very true . shawn : so why are you helping me ? carly : not because i think you deserve it , that 's for sure . shawn : that much i 've got . carly : well , you work for theo hoffman . you 've been up close and personal with him . you may have information that will help us find him . [ scene_break ] theo : it 's outrageous that you would suggest such a thing . brenda is , or was , the last link to my son . suzanne : our son . theo : do you think i would eliminate the last chance to find out about the child brenda was carrying , our grandson ? suzanne : what was there to find out , theo ? she was pregnant , and she lost the baby . theo : perhaps brenda did n't trust you as much as she led you to believe . for all we know , we may have a grandchild out there somewhere . but now , if brenda is , indeed , no longer with us , we will never know , thanks to some thug enemy of sonny corinthos who decided today was the day to blow up his car . suzanne : if you did this , if you killed brenda , either by design or incompetence , you will be very , very sorry . theo : correct me if i 'm wrong , but did you just threaten me ? [ scene_break ] dante : okay . we know sam 's not the balkan 's target . brenda is . but they 're the same -- they have similar coloring , similar build , height -- sonny : what are you trying to say ? dante : what if the idea was that sam was to be burned beyond all recognition , and we would n't check dna or dental records , but we all saw brenda get in that car ? sonny : that would mean theo hoffman wanted brenda alive .

[ scene_break ] sonny : your theory makes sense . whoever planted the bomb did n't know that the limo was armor plated , right ? and they were counting on everyone to accept at face value that that was brenda 's body . dante : but hoffman had to realize that once we knew sam was missing , the connection would be made . sonny : it did not matter , 'cause his goal was to buy time to grab brenda . [ scene_break ] theo : it would shatter my heart if , after all these years of marriage , all the joy and the hell we experienced together -- having , raising , and then losing our son in such a brutal fashion -- you would now turn against me . suzanne : i was the one who had to walk away from my life , from everything familiar , everything i created , to befriend the beautiful brenda . that was me , choking back my anger while i played the loyal confidante -- me , drawing her out about aleksander without giving myself away . you think that was fun ? you think it was fun globetrotting all over the world with my great friend brenda ? every time she opened her mouth , i wanted to strangle her . but no . i played my part for our greater purpose , for years . years . wasted years , because now , if brenda 's gone , well ... everything she could have told us about aleksander is gone with her . i was wrong to take my frustration out on you . and i should n't have charged in here accusing you . i know you could n't have arranged for brenda 's death . you have the same stake in her that i do . theo : i 'm glad to hear you say that . i need to know you 're on my side . suzanne : till death do us part . [ scene_break ] carly : i suggest you give that wound a chance to heal before you make another run for it . why are you staring at me ? shawn : you 're like an enigma wrapped up in a conundrum or something . carly : wow . you 're a sweet - talker . shawn : if all you wanted was information out of me , why do n't you send your buddy jason , have him send over a couple of low - lifes to beat it out of me ? carly : i do n't like cleaning up blood . why are you working so hard to change my mind about helping you ? shawn : maybe you should n't . carly : oh . so i should just let you die ? shawn : or kill me . whatever method appeals . carly : okay . why do you think you do n't deserve to live ? shawn : i 'm working for theo hoffman , facilitating what he 's done . i crossed a line i promised myself i never would again when i left the military . carly : sounds like you do n't like yourself very much right now . shawn : yeah . i guess not . [ scene_break ] jax : sam 's alive . she 's on her way to the hospital . ethan : so then , where 's brenda ? jax : no one knows where she is . we can only assume -- alexis : how 's sam ? jax : she 's unconscious . that 's all i know at this point . alexis : i 'm going there right now . molly : we want to come , too . alexis : no , girls . please , you stay here . jax : yeah . i 'll drive you . alexis : thank you . thank you , ethan . molly : let 's go see what we can find out online . ethan : so , how are you holding up ? kristina : i do n't know . but i know what my sister 's feeling right now , 'cause i went through it , too .

[ scene_break ] siobhan : see , i always thought that marriage was entered into because two people loved each other . not that i 've spent a lot of time ruminating over wedding gowns or wasted rice , or even fleeting , fickle love , for that matter . lucky : yeah , well , falling in love does n't really guarantee anything , does it ? siobhan : what are you 're saying , that love is n't a good enough reason to marry ? lucky : obviously , it 's the ideal . i 'm just saying that there 's a lot of other reasons why people do get married , you know . like they have babies on the way , or ... siobhan : have medical insurance . lucky : yeah . tax purposes . siobhan : some are arranged . lucky : or they exist , say , to help someone stay in the country legally . siobhan : so you 're helping me out . is that what you 're doing ? lucky : that 's just the kind of guy i am . siobhan : i thought that marriage was a loaded subject for you . lucky : is it ? oh , yeah . that 's right . i have n't been very good at it . are we really considering this ? siobhan : [ laughs ] i 'm not sure . lucky : okay . well , just in case we are , there 's a few more things that i think you should know .

[ scene_break ] kristina : when johnny 's car blew up last summer , i was so distracted from it , i was all caught up in thinking my dad was responsible , angry with him , i was blaming myself -- the actual experience did n't really register . ethan : maybe it was like your subconscious trying to protect you . it does that sometimes . it deflects things until you 're emotionally ready to deal with it . kristina : well , it came rushing in on me tonight . that sound , it 's the loudest thing you 've ever heard . and then , there 's a split second of clarity when you realize that everything has completely spun out of your control . and you come to on the ground , or in a hospital , and your ears are ringing , and you feel broken . but you 're too afraid to look at yourself to see how bad it really is . i do n't -- i do n't know why i 'm talking about this , you know . sam 's the one who 's hurt . [ scene_break ] patrick : has sam mccall regained consciousness ? nurse : not yet , but her vitals are stable . robin : patrick and i are about to examine sam . i just want you to know we 're going to do everything we can to pull her through . patrick : i 'll let you know sam 's condition as soon as i have news for you . jason : i 'll be here . just help her , please . patrick : how is she ? steve : she 's maintaining blood pressure and pulse . no signs of internal bleeding . patrick : she might have a cerebral edema or a brain bleed . would n't be surprising 'cause of the force of the explosion . robin : i 'm going to put a rush on those labs . patrick : good . every minute counts .

[ olivia sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : we 've already established that hoffman wanted brenda alive . dante : but he wanted us to think that she was dead . sonny : he 's buying time ! dante : agreed . so , the next logical thing is that he wants information off of brenda . what could he possibly want from brenda ? sonny : you 're thinking too big . you got to scale it down . you got to make it personal . okay . hoffman knows brenda killed his son , 'cause he tricked her into telling him when he was her lawyer . it means one thing -- he wants revenge . [ scene_break ] alexis : steve . how 's my daughter ? steve : she still has n't regained consciousness . patrick drake is with her . alexis : when can i see her ? steve : i 'll let you know . alexis : tell me what happened , and start after the fact that theo is the balkan , 'cause i already know that . jason : how do you know that ? alexis : my 12-year - old . jason : [ sighs ] yeah . look , i 'll tell you what i know . shawn was doing a lot more for theo than investigating the lawsuit . he was supposed to grab brenda before the wedding , but he could n't , because sam and i caught him . we got shawn to flip on theo and set up a meeting . sam was -- you know , she was supposed to go to the pavilion and update sonny , and my meeting with theo went completely wrong . shawn and i got separated . i got back to the penthouse . sam 's car was gone , and i -- i was just assuming that she was at the reception . alexis : no . she came to the ceremony . she left before it even started , and then , she did n't come back . jason : the best thing i can figure is theo had another guy at the wedding , and that guy put sam in the limo in substitute for brenda . alexis : you mean sacrifice . to burn her body beyond recognition . jason : we did one thing right . the bomb - proofing in the car saved sam . [ scene_break ] lucky : cam and jake , um , are n't my biological sons . see , i had a rough patch , and -- actually , that does n't really even begin to describe it . i mean , i was in hell , addicted to pain pills , having an affair with maxie . and specifically with jake -- not many people know about it , for his safety -- look . see , when i was going through all of that stuff , elizabeth turned to jason . siobhan : jason is jake 's father ? lucky : yeah . and we agreed that it would be safer for jake to grow up with a cop for a father than a mob enforcer . siobhan : well . um -- lucky : but i mean , i love jake and cam with all of my heart . and they are my sons in every way that matters . siobhan : i 've seen you in action . you 're a devoted father . but i have to ask if elizabeth 's boys were yours biologically , do you think you would have found a way to stay with elizabeth ? [ scene_break ] edward : i should be railing at the gods . but i ca n't get to my anger because of the sadness in my soul due to ceaseless and useless violence that seems to always claim the innocent and not the guilty . luke : well , life 's not fair , edward . you know that . look at it this way -- at least nobody 's dead yet . edward : well , that 's some consolation . so until something else blows up or gunfire erupts , i 'm going to bed . tracy : sleep well , daddy . edward : thank you , dear . and thank you for your generosity tonight . luke : you did n't know i had it in me , did you ? tracy : luke , i never think of my father as old . but he seems really old and fragile tonight , and i 'm ... i 'm wondering if this is when the child becomes father to the man . luke : it was a bad night all around , sweetheart . tracy : thank you for bringing him home . luke : you 're welcome . well ... good night . tracy : do n't go . can i just be in your arms ? [ scene_break ] shawn : still here . carly : shocking . shawn : you 're not surprised ? carly : well , your last escape attempt did n't leave much of an impression . searched around upstairs for some antibiotics , and i found some leftovers , so . so , did you come up with anything that might help us find theo ? shawn : well , you have to understand i was n't part of theo 's trusted inner circle , if such a thing ever existed . i was strictly for hire . carly : what 'd you do for theo ? shawn : mostly bag man work . carly : what does that mean ? shawn : made sure money found the right hands . sometimes , i would do security for theo when he traveled . carly : how 'd you morph into a kidnapper ? shawn : theo offered me a new assignment , and i took it . carly : where 'd you and theo meet ? shawn : originally ? carly : no . here in port charles . shawn : usually at the law firm , sometimes an alley , the bar at the metro court . theo had a room there , i think . he did n't use it much . but he certainly would n't use it now -- too obvious . but you can bet your sweet ass he 's got another base of operation in or around port charles . carly : all we have to do is find it . [ scene_break ] alexis : how is she ? patrick : well , she does n't have a brain bleed . that 's good news . robin : and no broken bones . no damage to her vital organs . patrick : but sam was drugged prior to the explosion . we 're not going to know the side effects until she wakes up . alexis : she 's going to wake up , right ? patrick : well , we hope so . you can go see her . just one at a time , okay ? jason : you go . alexis : thank you . alexis : honey , it 's mom . i 'm here , jason 's here . you 're not alone . you 're going to be okay . all right , sweetie ? if you can hear me , can you try to open your eyes ? can you do that ? open your eyes , honey . [ scene_break ] michael : i wish there was something i could actually do , you know ? abby : you 're here . that 's doing something . michael : it 's just jason and sam are really great to me . and jason sent himself to prison to protect me . and sam , she introduced me to you . abby : yeah .

[ scene_break ] olivia : come on . you 're going to wear a hole in the floor . let 's sit . can i get you anything ? jax : no , i 'm fine . i 'm just trying to process what happened , you know . first , we think brenda 's dead . now , we find out that she might be alive , and sam might be dying . when is this unnecessary violence going to end ? [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] jason : yeah ? sonny : how 's sam ? jason : she 's stable , but unconscious . alexis is with her right now . look , sonny . i ca n't leave , but i got to tell you that we have theo 's guy shawn butler . sonny : where ? jason : carly 's got him at her house , and i think he may know more about theo 's plans than he 's saying . [ scene_break ] siobhan : i had no business asking such a personal question . i take it back . lucky : you know , you 're really cute when you 're trying to backpedal . siobhan : [ laughs ] you can just skip the evasion and tell me to mind my own business . lucky : nah . it 's a perfectly reasonable question , you know . would elizabeth and i be together if the boys or even aiden were my biological sons ? siobhan : do n't tell me that you 've never considered it . lucky : you know , elizabeth and i had become completely dysfunctional . we could n't make it work , but we could n't let it go . then , she had to -- [ chuckles ] she had to sleep with my brother to finally break us up for good . siobhan : yeah , well , in my neighborhood , there would have been bloodshed over that type of situation . lucky : i was n't thinking too clearly for the first few days , believe me . see , i just -- i refused to see that elizabeth did n't really want to get married again . and i wanted so badly to live out this picture i had made in my head of happily ever after . it took the affair to finally help me see what elizabeth and i are -- that 's two people will always care about each other but should not be a couple , let alone be married . siobhan : that sounds quite definitive . lucky : yeah . i guess it is . i 'll never say that the affair was a blessing , but it was just definitely time to move on . and i have . [ scene_break ] jason : you know what ? hold on a second . [ scene_break ] jax : suzanne . if you 're looking for brenda , she 's not here . she was n't in the limo when it exploded . suzanne : she was n't ? but they said a woman was pulled -- jax : it was sam mccall . suzanne : how ? jax : it appears the balkan pulled a switch . he was trying to use sam as a decoy , and he wanted us to believe that brenda died in the explosion , i guess . he did n't count on the fact that the limo was bomb - proof . so sam survived . suzanne : thank god . jax : if the theory holds , there 's a chance that brenda 's still alive , too . excuse me . [ scene_break ] michael : hey . kristina : how 's sam ? molly : did uncle sonny and jason find brenda ? morgan : is dad okay ? ethan : hey , guys , give the man a chance to answer . michael : sam is still in the er , and no one knows where brenda is yet , and last time i saw dad , he seemed to be okay . he 's just trying to figure things out right now . how 'd you guys know about sam ? morgan : jax came over and told alexis , and they went off to the hospital . michael : you seem wiped , buddy . morgan : yeah . long day . michael : yeah . okay . i 'll take you home . morgan : all right . thanks , you guys . thanks , ethan . kristina : bye . ethan : see you . molly : all right . i 'm going to go to my room . kristina : you know , you do n't have to stay . it 's not like you signed on to be an au pair . ethan : [ chuckles ] oh , i know . i prefer to think of myself as a friend . you 're stuck with me until your mom gets back , so deal with it .

'cause i thought there would be a time -- i thought there would be a time where we could make up , you know ? time 's up . sam : i 'm so sorry . sonny : when i first met robin , she was ... in high school , but she looked like she was 12 years old . her and stone fell in love . and it was , uh , like a teenage love , you know ? everything was -- everything was sweet ... until he got h.i.v . i remember ... walking into the room . she was in there . and i realized ... he was gone . and i 'll never forget the look on her face . it was like she -- she -- she was crying . but she was at peace . kind of like she figured out a way to let it go . sam : it sounds like maybe she had a way to prepare , you know , that she knew it was coming . sonny : she made it a lot easier for me to deal with his death . i loved her like a little sister . patrick : need a constant flow of irrigation . suction the drainage right here . dr. drake , his icp reading is increasing . patrick : i 'm going to the area most affected by the edema . his blood pressure is bottoming out and he 's tachycardic . maxie : i did n't want it to come out like that , but , i mean , you started going on and on about knowing me so well . spinelli : look , i was attempting to convey some -- maxie : i know that this is hard for you , okay ?

i really -- i just need matt in my life right now . spinelli : maxie , this is a discussion for another day . maxie : no , it can not . that 's the thing , spinelli . this is not a discussion that we can have anymore and it ca n't wait . i 'm sorry , you know ? because you always see the best in me even when i do n't deserve it , and i know that i do bad things sometimes , like the way i ratted out elizabeth to monica . i got her suspended -- spinelli : maxie , none of that matters right now . maxie : and that 's why you 're the best . but if i want to have a future with matt , then ... i need to learn how to let you go . i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me . spinelli : are you finished ?

spinelli : robin was killed tonight . you think you take off all your make - up before bed . maxie : can you repeat what you just said ? spinelli : there was an accident at the hospital laboratory . maxie : why are you doing this ?

spinelli : if you just take a moment to process all of this . maxie : i ca n't believe that you 're saying this just because i told you to leave my apartment . spinelli : i know this must be very painful for you -- maxie : robin is my cousin and my best friend . she 's like a sister to me . spinelli : it 's a terrible loss . maxie : stop saying that . stop pretending that she 's dead . spinelli : look , i need you to understand -- maxie : no , i understand just fine . so i 'm gon na go back out in that room . and when i come back , you better be gone . mac : so , do you want to arrest sonny , or do you want me to do the honors ? dante : mac , we do n't have anything that says sonny was the shooter . mac : why did you go to the quartermaines ' tonight , dante ? dante : like i said , to look for anthony . mac : you know what ? maybe you were looking for sonny . maybe you were looking for sonny to try to keep him from killing anthony . obviously , you failed . dante : okay , mac , why do n't we wait for forensics to come here and take a look ? mac : you know what happened here . two more innocent people added to sonny 's death toll . dante : even sonny is innocent until proven guilty . mac : when are you gon na stop making excuses for your father and start acting like a cop ? dante : look , mac , we do n't have any evidence that says sonny was responsible for this shooting . mac : so find some evidence , dante . find some evidence . or better yet , find your father and bring him in . dante : i ca n't arrest someone without the facts . mac : what happened here tonight -- two innocent people dead -- that 's on sonny 's head . michael : i need some help here ! epiphany : what happened to her ?

michael : the police showed up when i was bringing her here . epiphany : does she have any identification ? anything ? michael : no . epiphany : we 're gon na have to list her as a jane doe if you ca n't find any identification . michael : well , maybe she 's -- maybe she has an i.d . on her or something . yeah . starr . starr manning . sonny : i was , uh -- i was worried about robin after stone died . i mean , she was incredibly brave , but there was a light missing from her eyes , you know ? 'cause i think she had given up , and she was just waiting for the virus that killed stone to kill her . and i promised -- i promised him that i would take care of her . and that 's when she found jason . she 's the only one that could get through to him . he trusted her . and then i realized that he was doing more for her than she was doing for him , and the light came back in her eyes , and she started talking about the future . sam : then why did ... sonny : what ? go ahead . no , you can tell me . sam : if jason meant so much to robin and she already lost stone , why would you let jason into the business , sonny ? sonny : i did everything i could to talk him out of it , but he was an adult . he did n't -- he wanted it . and she wanted -- robin wanted it for a long time , and we -- we kind of became like a little family , you know ? like a trio . one time , uh ... she -- she left school , left college to surprise us . it was christmastime . so i went out to a florist and i bought one of those cheap little -- [ laughs ] sam : christmas tree ? [ both laugh ] sonny : yeah . sam : i love those . sonny : and , you know ... but to her , you know , it did n't matter that it was like $ 5 , 'cause that 's who she was . it 's like -- i got a lot of memories like that -- a lot of them . to -- to most people , it would n't -- it did n't -- would n't matter , but ... she 's gone . you know , since robin 's not gon na be here on the 25th , you know , i thought we 'd , like , celebrate early , right ? even if you 're in a hotel , you have a tree , and this -- looky -- look , look , look ! robin : oh ! sonny : this is for you and jason . robin : thank you . sonny : you 're welcome . she had such a beautiful smile , you know ? i 'll never see it again .

's drunken blackout would be enough to save his life . as long as he could n't remember that he was innocent , he was n't a threat . and i could put off making this decision . but i ca n't risk a.j . remembering what happened the night connie was killed . a.j . quartermaine has got to go . dante : so , what is it ? what other explanation you talking about ? a.j . : just forget about it , all right ? we both know who 's responsible for this . why do n't you go take a known killer off the street ? go question your father . sonny : go ahead and talk to me , lulu . you know , i 'm happy for dante , but i care about you , too . how are you really dealing with all this ? lulu : i 'll admit that this is an awkward situation for me . sonny : okay . lulu : but i 'm just so happy for all the people in my life that i love . geez , i -- you guys are getting everything you wanted . and part of me ca n't help but wish that it was dante and me that made a child , but ... it was dante and britt . we barely know her . sonny : mm - hmm . lulu : obviously that 's gon na change soon . sonny : change how ? lulu : nikolas and britt are engaged . she 's gon na be my sister - in - law . along with my stepson 's mother . so how 's that for awkward ? sonny : awkward . very awkward . lulu : there 's nothing i can do . i have to accept that ben is dante 's son . and not mine . nikolas : so you know that elizabeth stopped by yesterday ? britt : i swear i 'm not being some jealous , obsessive fiancée tracking your every move . but your uncle victor mentioned she was at the house and that he sent her up to our room . nikolas : right . but i hope you know that nothing inappropriate happened . britt : i know . i 'm just wondering if she was n't there to bad - mouth me again . what did she have to talk to you about ? elizabeth : the reason i do n't want you to marry her -- i 'm in love with you . britt : nikolas . what was it ? elizabeth : keep in touch , okay ? you really dropped the ball on that one the last time you were gone .

what is going on here ? robin : okay , sorry . you caught me . i just -- i did n't want to have this conversation because i knew how difficult it was gon na be , and after everything that you and dad did to bring me home , i just did n't -- i did n't know how i was gon na say goodbye . anna : well , do n't . it does n't make any sense , robin . you just got here . why are you leaving ? robin : mom ... look . there 's a lot about this that i wo n't be able to explain . anna : i do n't like the sound of that . what does that mean ? robin : it means that i need you to believe in me . okay ? i need you to believe that you and dad and uncle mac , that you raised me to be the kind of person that would do the right thing , even when it 's difficult . anna : of course i know you 're that person ! but why does that stop you from telling me why you 're leaving ? robin : when i was little , i did n't always know where you and dad were jetting off to . i did n't . i always had faith that you would come back to me , and i just need you to have that faith in me now , okay ? anna : how is it the right thing for you to leave emma ? how is that the right thing ? or patrick ? or me ? robin : have you ever just known that you had to do something ? and known that in your heart it was the right thing ? and you knew that everyone else would think that it 's wrong ? it 's just something that i have to do . britt : if elizabeth was n't warning you against me , what did she need to tell you ? elizabeth . come . join us . nikolas : britt , i do n't know if now 's a good -- britt : oh , you can spare a minute , ca n't you ? elizabeth : sure . britt : nikolas was just telling me why you were at the house yesterday , but i suppose now i can hear it straight from the source . sonny : i want you to be able to talk to me about this any time you want . it 's a complicated situation . it 's not how you wanted things to go down . lulu : britt westbourne as the mother of dante 's child -- i never thought that was gon na happen . sonny : i do n't know much about britt , but what i do know , i do n't like . if her parents are any indication , britt is not the role model i want for my grandson , but you know what ? you will be . lulu : ben 's not my son , sonny . sonny : well , yeah , maybe not blood , but , you know , michael is n't any less my son because we do n't share the same dna . when you 're a father , you got to be there for your son day in , day out . you got to fight for him . unconditional love . and i know that ben will be part of your life just as much as he is dante 's life . i just want you to be able to learn to love him . like he 's your own . lulu : you want to know the funny thing ? part of me already does . dante : you know what , a.j . ? i do n't take orders from you . a.j . : okay , just get me a cop who 's willing to listen . dante : but i will talk to sonny . if only to put an end to these allegations . a.j . : i got to hand it to sonny . he really is a smart guy . see , he does n't even need to keep any cops on the payroll . he 's got his own son on the force . dante : you remember anything that might be actually useful , a.j . , that might help us ? let us know . carlos : i can go back to the quartermaines ' house tonight . the place is wide open . there 's plenty of points of entry . i 'll wait till the cops leave . ava : it can not happen tonight . for one thing , there will be too many people paying attention to a.j . , and , more importantly , i have to come up with another alibi . carlos : ca n't you just go see your mom again ? ava : unfortunately , no . things got rather ... complicated back in new york . nathan : ava jerome -- you 're gon na throw your mistress under the bus ? sam : would you listen for a second ? ava was here today in the city , the same person we 've been trying to tell you is trying to frame silas . it ca n't be a coincidence . delia : ava is not particularly good at keeping in touch . sam : no , she 's not . this is her own mother . she has n't been to the city in years to visit her . you 're gon na tell me that she 's gon na come here the same day nakamura 's killed ? silas : see how sam put that together ? that 's good detective work . you might be taking notes . in the meantime , when you start questioning people , you should start with ava . ava : as soon as i have these in place , i 'll let you know how we 're going to proceed . carlos : i 'm gon na lay low . it 's bad enough i got sonny chasing after me . i do n't need the cops after me , too . ava : keep your head down . and do n't worry . i 'll think of something . carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : i always find a way to cover my tracks . a.j . : that guy tried to kill me . a.j . : guess what , bitch ? it 's payback time . connie : a.j . , please . you do n't want to do this . a.j . : oh , yes , i do . but i wo n't . i ca n't . i ca n't do this . i ca n't ... do this to elizabeth . i ca n't do this to michael . i love him too much . he deserves better . [ sighs ] a.j . : oh , my god . i did n't shoot her . connie was still alive when i left ! nathan : i will talk to ava jerome . sam : good , because you have nothing on silas . delia : so , why do n't you get lost ? nathan : look , i do n't understand why you 're still defending him , ms . morgan . sam : it 's very easy . he 's innocent . nathan : why would an innocent man lie to you about having a wife ? why would an innocent man not go visit nina ? she 's been lying in a clinic for 20 years . he has n't even been to see her once . silas : you 're an idiot . you of all people should know that nina 's parents barred me from seeing her , and even then , it took a court order and armed security to enforce it . nathan : made it real convenient for you to stay away . silas : do you have any idea how many times i went out there to try to see her ? every day for months , then years , i drove out there , only to be turned away . nathan : you stopped . silas : yeah . i stopped . i stopped sitting in cars . i stopped sitting in trains . and decided to dedicate that time to my patients and the hospital . in that sense , i conceded that nina 's parents , with their wealth and their power , had beaten me . nathan : if it was me , nothing would have kept me from seeing my wife . silas : hey , you know something ? that might almost mean something coming from someone else , but you 're all talk , sparky . so , you gon na charge me or not ? nathan : no . but i am gon na work with the nypd on the nakamura case . you will be hearing from me when the evidence is processed . ms. morgan . mrs. coleridge . delia : [ sighs ] i really slipped up , did n't i ? i never should have mentioned that you were n't with sam when she first got here . silas : forget about it . you did n't do anything wrong . sam : you just told the truth . it 's okay . delia : he pegged you wrong , did n't he ? you did n't off nakamura . silas : you really have to ask me that ? what about you ? do you believe me ? anna : none of this makes any sense , robin . none of it does . [ sighs ] but it looks like you 've made up your mind . and you 're not gon na change it . robin : not about this , no . anna : you were always such a stubborn little girl . [ laughs ] robin : where do you think i got that from ? anna : you have to look me in the eye and you need to tell me that nobody is forcing you to do anything , that patrick and emma have n't been threatened in any way . robin : mom , patrick and emma are not in danger . i 'm needed as a doctor , and it 's my decision to go . anna : okay . if you think it 's the right thing for you to do , then i support you . i do . i always do . is this the last time i 'm gon na see you before you go ? is it ? robin : yeah . for now . but , mom ... i 'll find a way home to you . i always do , right ? anna : come here . [ sniffles ] robin : okay . nikolas : elizabeth just stopped by the house to congratulate us on our engagement . britt : wow . she did . great news travels fast . elizabeth : i happened to see you accept nikolas ' proposal at dante and lulu 's . britt : really ? i did n't know you were there . elizabeth : well , i was . so , congratulations to you both . britt : well , thank you , elizabeth . we really appreciate that . it really means a lot , and especially coming from you . lulu : hey . dante : you okay ? sonny : we 're just catching up . lulu : i gave sonny a belated christmas gift . sonny : yeah , thanks for this . dante : yeah , well , do n't let it go to your head . sonny : i will fight tooth and nail for the greatest grandpa . i mean , me and luke will fight it out . lulu : i did not expect to see you here . what 's going on ? dante : uh , look , do you mind if i have a few minutes alone with sonny ? it 's official business . lulu : okay . it was good to talk to you . sonny : no , it was great . lulu : thank you so much . sonny : really , really good . bye . lulu : i 'll see you at home . dante : okay . lulu : okay . dante : love you . lulu : love you . sonny : official business ? does n't sound good . should i be worried ? dante : you tell me . a.j . quartermaine says someone just tried to kill him . you would n't know anything about that , would you ? a.j . : i did n't shoot her . she was alive when i left , but ... ava : a.j ... what did you do ? a.j . : nothing . i did n't -- i did n't do anything . it was her ! ava killed connie . sam : of course i believe you . we have been through so much together , i do n't think you would ever do anything to hurt nina or mr. nakamura . silas : thank you . that means the world to me . delia : well , you know , i knew it all along . i mean , the guy is really easy on the eyes , but he was wrong about a lot of stuff . silas : yeah , he is , but he 's right about one thing . sam : what 's that ? silas : i need to find a way to see nina . anna : [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] so ... are you gon na call me ? okay ? when you land ? robin : of course i will . anna : all right . robin : [ chuckles ] anna : i do n't want to let you go . robin : i do n't want to let you go , either . but i have to go as soon as , you know ...

's convinced that you sent someone to kill him . i got to look into this , sonny . i need to know if there 's something i 'm gon na find that i 'm not gon na like . sonny : dante , look at my eyes . i was not responsible for this . i promised your brother that i would n't hurt a.j . dante : but you would like to . sonny : oh , yeah , i 'd like to ! son of a bitch walking around after what he did to connie . but i did n't do it . dante : okay . sonny : can you do me a favor ? when you find out who did it , just let me know so i can send them a token of my appreciation . [ knock on door ] ava : coming . | aj tells dante and anna that someone tried to kill him and that he believes sonny sent the attacker . sonny asks lulu how she feels about dante having a child that is n't hers . she admits that it is awkward , but she is happy for everyone she loves that is getting what they wanted . she says it will be even more awkward when her stepson 's mother becomes her sister - in - law . nikolas tells britt that he wants to have an engagement party at wyndemere . britt wonders why elizabeth was at wyndemere yesterday . elizabeth tells robin that she confessed her love to nikolas , but he is still going to marry britt . robin tells elizabeth that she is leaving port charles . after patrick 's call , anna goes to general hospital and asks robin why she did n't tell her that she is leaving town . robin says she did n't know how to say goodbye . elizabeth goes into kelly 's so britt asks her why she was at wyndemere . nikolas says she came to congratulate them on their engagement . elizabeth agrees with his story . carrying ben , britt runs into lulu in front of kelly 's . |

[ doorbell rings ] georgie : dad ? what are you doing here ? mac : picking you up for tony 's service . and let 's get something clear right upfront -- you may have bought yourself one night under this roof by calling so late , but that 's all you 're getting . once tony 's service is over , you 're coming home with me . [ scene_break ] lucas : i 'm sorry . i -- i should probably be handling this better . elizabeth : hey , no , no , no . do n't start trying to police or edit your feelings . it wo n't work and the loss you 're feeling is real . lucky : yeah , and nobody is going to blame you for grieving for your father . elizabeth : and if you need either one of us day or night , you just call , ok ? lucas : thanks , elizabeth . elizabeth : no problem . i have to go . i got to take care of a couple of things and i 'll meet you at the chapel , ok ? lucas : ok . elizabeth : bye , honey . lucas : bye . you know , elizabeth is great . she 's a real natural spencer . lucky : yeah . oh , it does n't get any better than elizabeth or your dad . he was steady as a rock when the rest of the family seemed to pull away in thousands of directions . lucas : yeah , it was -- he was great that way , was n't he ? lucky : you know one thing i liked about tony ? he listened -- i mean really , really listened . lucas : yeah , i wish i had told him that i was gay sooner . just the few things that he said , he was able to say before he died , it helped me so much . and knowing that he was cool with it . time is a bad thing to waste , lucky , because once it 's gone , you can never get it back . and i would give anything for just one more day with my dad , to tell him how much i love him and to give him a chance to love me back . [ scene_break ] carly : it 's ok if you do n't want me to go to the service . i totally understand . i 'm the wrecking ball that destroyed your marriage and i did it on purpose . look , i know that -- i know we have n't talked about this in a long time , but i want you to know that i am still appalled by what i did . i am so sorry , mom . i did n't realize what it cost you and lucas . i only had on my mind revenge to get you back for giving me up . i did n't realize the enormity or the arrogance of ripping a family apart . i did n't know what it meant to have a family or to be able to appreciate one until i had one of my own and then i lost it . i am so ashamed and i am so sorry . bobbie : oh , carly . i appreciate your apology and i know it 's sincere . but it 's not necessary , not now .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : well , i still think it 's too soon for you to be sitting through a long memorial service , skye . skye : lorenzo , i appreciate your concern , but i really need to pay my respects to tony jones . and besides , i 'm feeling pretty good -- certainly well enough to see you for lunch later . unless , of course , that 's something you 'd rather avoid ? lorenzo : why would i ? skye : because it 's my treat , and you never let me pay for a meal . i 'm starting to think that the idea of my buying you food is getting in the way of your testosterone or something . lorenzo : i will look forward to seeing you later . i will bring my appetite . bye . elizabeth : you look like you 're in a good mood . then again , why should n't you be ? it 's astonishing how well things worked out for you . lorenzo : elizabeth , i realize how fortunate i am that both skye and lulu survived the virus . elizabeth : when you 're thanking whoever it is you believe in for your good fortune , does it bother you at all you nearly killed one to save the other ? [ scene_break ] georgie : what is wrong with everybody ? why is it so outrageous that dillon and i want to live together ? we 're married . mac : i accept that , and i wo n't contest it . but until you 're 18 , your home is with me . georgie : dad , that 's in five days . mac : you know , we 'll cross that scary bridge when we get to it . look , you and dillon can spend as much time with each as you like , but living together -- especially under this roof -- will have to wait . tracy : i agree . dillon : this is n't fair , people . lulu : ok , just a suggestion -- since we 're about to go bury my uncle , maybe we could table this fight until later . georgie : absolutely . meet me in the park before the service ? dillon : yeah . georgie : thanks . tracy : i 'm not done with you . dillon : i am done with you . i 'm not georgie , and you 're not mac . tracy : am i supposed to know what that means ? dillon : yeah . it means i 'm not going to let you push me around anymore . [ scene_break ] robin : it 's not like i have to travel . the memorial service is right here in the chapel . patrick : if you think you can talk her out of this , go ahead . robin : he ca n't . robert : well , i mean , he was pretty clear about his professional opinion . why jeopardize your health by getting out of bed too soon ? robin : well , i know this may be a novel concept for you , but tony was like family to me . robert : i sure hope this selective memory loss comes from your mother 's side , because as i recall , tony jones kidnapped you , left you for dead in a cabin in a snowstorm -- without medication . robin : at least tony had an excuse . robert : hmm ? robin : he was having a nervous breakdown because carly shattered his family . robert : oh . robin : which , unfortunately , is something i can relate to , but that 's neither here nor there . you ca n't speak to what happened because you were n't around -- not to worry about me , not to protect me . so keep your baseless opinions to yourself . i am going to tony 's memorial , and there 's nothing you can do about it . [ scene_break ] lucas : hey . luke : hi . where 's your mother ? lucas : she 'll be here pretty soon . luke : ok . lucas : i 'm a little surprised to see you . luke : why is that ? lucas : because i figured you 'd be a no - show . luke : well , as a rule , i do avoid large gatherings of people . but for your father , i 'll make an exception . lucas : you and my dad close ? luke : we were more than close ; we were family . even when one or the other of us dropped off the edge of the world , we always seemed to understand each other . i respected tony . i ca n't say that about many people . the world 's a much colder place without him . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : my sister - in - law was hours away from death , in far worse shape than skye was at the time . hey , you did n't give lulu any consideration at all . you just switched the charts so skye could get the antidote . lorenzo : skye was growing sicker by the minute . i could feel her slipping away . elizabeth : and so was lulu . but i guess she does n't rate on your compassion scale . lorenzo : regardless of what you may think , i am not at ease or accepting of my behavior that night . but i 'm not going to pretend that i would n't do it again given a similar choice , and you can not honestly tell me that you would not do the same to save lucky 's life . that 's what i thought . i 'm indebted to you , elizabeth , for not telling anyone . skye would have a difficult time forgiving me . elizabeth : well , despite nothing 's to be gained by telling the truth -- lulu and skye both survived -- i 'm willing to keep this between us . lorenzo : thank you . i meant what i said . i owe you . elizabeth : no , thanks . [ scene_break ] bobbie : my marriage to tony ended for many reasons , but mostly because we could n't sustain b.j . 's loss . i grieved for our little girl , and not a day goes by that i do n't remember her and miss her to the very core of my soul . but tony was destroyed by b.j . 's death . he lost his mind over it . carly : yeah , he -- tony was mourning . he could 've cycled through it if i had n't swooped down and decimated what was left of his marriage . bobbie : honey , you could n't have torn us apart if we 'd been solid . there were cracks in the relationship long before b.j . passed . we just have n't chosen to address them . i look back on that time when everybody was reeling . we lost b.j . , you were hurt and angry because i 'd given you up for adoption and i had moved on seemingly unscathed . but the good news is we were able to forgive one another and build on what could 've been ruins . and i think we get points for that . carly : i wish i 'd have known you longer , better . i wish i would 've realized the gift that you are long ago . i am humbled by your compassion and your capacity for forgiveness . and i am so sorry for hurting you , and i am so grateful that you love me anyway , mom . bobbie : i do love you very much , and i need you with me -- today and always . [ scene_break ] tracy : dillon , maturity is a state of mind . it 's not about numbers . you are much too young in your head and your heart to be locked into marriage . dillon : why are we discussing this ? we 're not going to see eye to eye . tracy : we do n't have to . i 'm giving you a choice . let georgie down easy ; be as kind and as gentle as you can possibly be . just make sure she understands this arrangement is not practical . you can see her as much as you want after the annulment . dillon : oh -- oh , oh , oh . and if i refuse ? tracy : i have been crushing marriages since before you were born and yours will be next , no matter how long it takes or how painful the journey . so why do n't you just be kind to yourself and your girlfriend ? do it on your terms -- before i do it on mine . [ scene_break ] bobbie : hey , luke . is lucas here ? luke : no , i sent him on ahead . i was thinking maybe you would appreciate an unguarded moment before the service . bobbie : thank you . that 's very thoughtful of you . luke : how are you , baby ? bobbie : i 'm ok . you know , it hurts , but i know tony 's at peace with b.j . , so it 's balancing out . luke : i was sitting here remembering things . bobbie : anything in particular ? luke : well , yeah . i was remembering the first time i heard that my wild - child baby sister had actually married the straight - laced dr. jones . bobbie : well , i can see that . you know i always admired you . you left such a mighty impression on me , and i think that 's the reason why i 've always been attracted to bad boys -- until tony . he was my conscious effort to change that . luke : well , he did . he was the real deal , gave you the entire family package . bobbie : yeah , he did . and it was nearly perfect for a very long time . [ bobbie sighs ] bobbie : i do n't know . maybe loving someone like me was tony 's undoing . luke : no , i do n't believe that , not for a second . he was happy with you . what happened between you was just life , circumstance . it seems that no matter what we do , despite our best efforts , we do n't always end up with the people we love . bobbie : well , tony and i did n't have much contact over the last few years , but it was very comforting to me to know that he was only a phone call away . i 'm going to miss that . luke : i know you are . [ scene_break ] dillon : hey . georgie : hey . dillon : soy it took me so long . georgie : there 's a reason , though , right ? i can -- i can see it . is it mac ? dillon : no . no , mac is reasonable compared to my mom . georgie : ok , tell me . dillon : um -- she 's on the warpath . she says if we do n't annul the marriage willingly , she 's just going to destroy it in the worst way possible . what ? georgie : that 's -- that 's it ? dillon : yeah , what -- georgie : oh , god , dillon . we are married now and forever . i mean , tracy can huff and puff all she wants . she 's not going to blow this house down . look , everything we 've been through has only made us stronger . there 's nothing tracy can do about it . it 's ok . [ scene_break ] robin : if you 're here yet again to try and convince me not to go to tony 's memorial service , i swear , i 'm going to scream . patrick : just the opposite , actually . i know you 're way too stubborn to listen . so i thought i 'd do the next best thing . personally escort you . robin : you do n't have to do that . i 'm perfectly capable of surviving a memorial service . patrick : tony was a colleague . i respected him . i want to be there . robin : ok . well , let 's go . [ scene_break ] [ classical piano music plays ] luke : well , i did n't expect to see you here . carly : considering the fact that we 're memorializing my mother 's ex - husband that i seduced -- luke : is that what i was thinking ? carly : i wish it never happened , ok ? but i do n't have to answer to you . the only person i have to answer to is my mother , and i 've done that in spades as recently as an hour ago . so if you want to , you know , tell me your opinion or insinuate something -- luke : caroline , caroline , whoa , whoa , whoa . if you had let me finish , i was going to say i did n't expect to see you here , but i 'm very glad you came . your mother can use the support . hello , sweetness . elizabeth : hi . luke : well , here 's another surprise . did n't expect you to be here . robert : well , it seemed appropriate . i tried to contact frisco , as you requested , but apparently , he 's under deep cover and ca n't be reached . sorry . lucky : well , thanks for trying . robin : excuse me . [ scene_break ] bobbie : i was so sorry to hear about mariah . is she going to be ok ? mac : it was a mild heart attack . but after losing tony -- being slapped in the face with how quickly we can lose our loved ones -- felicia wanted to spend some time with her . maxie : yeah , but she wants to have a dinner in tony 's honor when she gets home . bobbie : i like that idea . mac : our family owes yours so much , bobbie . you and tony -- you gave us the most precious gift imaginable when you saved maxie 's life with b.j . 's heart . i 'm still humbled by it every time i look at maxie . bobbie : i ca n't take credit for that . to be honest with you , i was horrified at the thought of taking b.j . off life - support so soon . and it was tony who made me realize that it was the right thing to do . he was so proud of the way you have turned your life around . maxie : well , my dad 's right . i owe my life to you and tony and b.j . and i have a responsibility to make the most of it . i take that very seriously . bobbie : i know you do . [ scene_break ] tracy : will you stick close today , husband ? luke : my sweet , under normal circumstances , nothing would make me happier . but today belongs to my sister .

carly : jax , i 'm just trying to understand if there is a possibility for a future for us . jax : yeah , well , i want that more than anything . carly : then why are you being so distant ? jax : oh , you know damn well why . we ca n't just pick up where we left off . not after you slept with sonny . [ scene_break ] edward : what the devil are you doing in this house ? sonny : i 'm here to see monica . edward : monica 's in no condition to have a visit from the likes of you . sonny : i 'm sorry about alan . he was a good man . edward : you stole jason from alan , just like you stole michael from a.j . you know something ? you 're a blight on this family , and you helped put alan in his grave . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you want us to move in here ? lucky : i know this is all happening kind of fast . i just asked you to marry me , we have n't even set a date , and here i am picking out a house -- elizabeth : no , it 's not that -- lucky : i just thought if we got this all taken care of before the baby comes , it would make things easier . but if it 's too much , i do n't want to push , so -- you know what ? as a matter of fact , why do n't you just forget i even asked . elizabeth : i would love for us all to live here . lucky : are you sure ? elizabeth : yeah . why not ? i -- i think it 's a great idea . some of my best memories have been in this house with you . lucky : well , now we can spend years making new memories as a family -- you , me , cameron , and our baby . [ scene_break ] sam : i know that you were n't close with alan , and i guess , in some ways , that 's got to make his death just a little bit more painful for you . jason : i just never thought about what it must 've been like for alan to have his own son look at him like a stranger . i ca n't think of anything else . alexis : you do n't care about molly , you do n't care about anybody but yourself , because if you cared about molly , you would n't take her away from the only home that she knows . why would you do that ? why ? ric : i 'm not taking molly to go live with wolves , i 'm her father ! i have the moral and the legal right to her custody . alexis : is this about molly , or is this about spiting me ? ric : oh , alexis , you know what ? our marriage fell apart . you want to continually blame me for that , that 's fine . does that make you feel better ? it does n't give you the right to punish me by cutting me off from molly , all right ? i 've offered you a compromise , you 're not interested , so this is what you 're left with , sweetheart . she is my daughter ; she is going to come live with me . alexis : over my dead body , sweetheart ! you set me up ! ric : you smoked pot and you got caught red - handed ! look , i 'm sorry it came to that , but i 'm not sorry enough to give up molly . okay , this is -- this is going nowhere . i am going to offer you one last compromise . you sign over custody of molly to me right now , i will grant you generous visitation . it 's going to be a hell of a lot better than if you take it into court . alexis : you try to take my child away from me , and i will make sure this is a public relations nightmare for you . you will lose everything and all of the power that comes with it . ric : it 's better than losing my daughter . [ scene_break ] jax : we were engaged , and you turned around and married sonny . and before you go explaining again that it was a legal tactic , you were n't obligated to sleep with him , were you ? carly : we thought we were going to die . you were gone for weeks , jax . jax : oh -- you know , you 're the one who encouraged me to go after jerry . and i 'm really thankful that you did because it not only gave me an opportunity to help my brother , but it also showed me that you are n't free of sonny . carly : that is not true . jax : and you never will be . carly : that 's not true . sonny is the father of my children ; i would do anything to keep him in their lives . that is the only reason i agreed to marry him . the second i found out he was lying to me , i tried to get a divorce . jax : oh , really ? well , you obviously did n't try very hard . carly : he took my passport , okay ? i could n't leave the country ! jax : he lied to you , he manipulated you , and you still could n't resist sleeping with him . carly : we thought we were going to die . jax : oh -- carly : listen to me . i ca n't take it back . i ca n't take it back any more than i can take back how much i 've hurt you . jax : no , you ca n't . carly : so is this how it 's going to be ? you punishing me for something i ca n't change ? because if it is , i would rather walk away with the memories than stick around and watch it all fall apart . [ scene_break ] edward : everything you have , you 've taken from someone else -- your money , your power . you built an empire on thievery and corruption . and you took advantage of a boy 's mental handicap and you stole his inheritance and you turned him away from his family . sonny : i did n't take advantage of jason . he -- look , he came to work for me and i gave him a job . edward : look , jason just needed some time to remember , but you did n't even have the decency to respect his innocence . no , you came down and you swooped up and you used him . sonny : jason wanted to start a new life . he needed a job , edward . edward : he had a life and a family -- until you turned him into some mob lackey . sonny : jason was an adult , he made his own decisions . edward : you took advantage of that boy 's handicap . you know something ? jason was alan 's pride and joy , and the day you stole him from alan was the day that alan 's heart began to fail . and someday , my friend , you are going to have to pay dearly for all the pain and misery that you have brought on this family . [ scene_break ] lucky : i do n't want you to feel like i 'm pushing you into it . elizabeth : no , you 're not . lucky : i just was n't sure if you 'd be able to forgive me . elizabeth : you know , there were times that i would look at you and i did n't even know who you were anymore . but you got the help you needed to pick up the pieces of your life , and now i see the man i 've always loved and the person i 'm going to spend the rest of my life with . lucky : you know , i 'm glad that we 'll be spending them here . there 's just something about this house that just feels right . elizabeth : it 's your mom , because every time i walk in that door i can feel her warmth and love . lucky : well , maybe growing up in this house , our children will feel closer to my mother . [ scene_break ] sam : alan was kind and generous to me , but it was pretty clear that whenever the two of you were together , all he could see was the son that he lost and the life that he could 've had with you if not for the accident . he did n't accept you , and it caused a lot of tension . jason , i could see it the two of you when i was in the same room with you . you did n't even have to say a word to each other . jason : see , that 's the problem right there -- we did n't even -- we did n't even talk . i tried to avoid him . sam : right , but you did n't do that to hurt him . you were trying to protect yourself . i know you and i know your family and i know how your family treats the people that they love , and i am sure -- i am sure that after the accident , they just panicked , and they tried to control you -- for your own good . naturally , you felt trapped . jason : yeah , but alan wanted to explain . i never even tried to listen to him . sam : hey , hey , hey , hey . how many times have you told me it does n't do any good to look back , to think about what -- what might 've been ? you , jason . you , of all people , should know that you ca n't beat yourself up over things that ca n't be changed . hey -- you 're going to just have to move on . jason : i wish i knew how . [ scene_break ] alexis : molly really needs to be in her home with her sister -- and with me . you can visit her , i promise , anytime you want . ric : forget it . i 'll see you and when i 'm granted full custody , you can ask for visitation . alexis : you selfish bastard ! you 're a public official ! they 're going to -- they going to air our dirty laundry everywhere ! the kids are going to be hurt ! do n't you care ? ric : your petition for primary custody is based on the assertion that molly would be better off living with you , right ? alexis : she would be . ric : you put molly 's life -- as well as kristina 's -- in jeopardy with your constant , ongoing association with a known racketeer . you let your daughter kristina wander off into the middle of a warehouse just in time to see her sister shoot a man in cold blood . and then you were busted for drug possession while molly and kristina were in the house . alexis : by you . by you , which is the second - most hateful thing you did . the first was sleeping with my daughter , and do n't think i 'm not going to put that up for review , because the judge is going to see your character , ric . ric : you went to extremes . you went to extremes to make sure that sonny did n't have anything to do with his daughter , kristina , but yet -- now you want me , without any kind of protest at all , to allow him to be around my daughter , molly ? well , that 's hypocrisy , alexis . at worst , it 's negligent parenting . alexis : get out . get out . ric : molly is my daughter and she is going to be with me because she 's a part of me , and that 's why i 'm taking her . alexis : get out . get out , get out , get out ! [ scene_break ] lulu : thank you . elizabeth : okay ? lulu : yeah . nikolas : it 's good to see you 're out of the hospital . lulu : oh , it 's so good to be out . nikolas : yeah . i 'm glad that you 're staying here for now . the quartermaines are obviously going through a difficult time right now . it 'll be good . lulu : yeah , how is emily handling everything ? nikolas : well , she 's more concerned with everyone else , including yourself . how 's your leg ? lulu : oh , well , the doctor said i need to rest for a while , which is n't hard since not much happens at grandma 's house . lucky : well , that might not be for long . lulu : why ? lucky : you want to tell them ? elizabeth : lucky and i are going to be moving in here . lucky : yeah , right after we get married . nikolas : after what ? you 're getting married ? lucky : yeah , as soon as we set a date . [ laughter ] elizabeth : surprise . nikolas : well , okay , i 'm happy for you . elizabeth : thanks . nikolas : congratulations . lucky : thank you . nikolas : did you -- did you know about this ? lulu : the part about the wedding , but not about the house . what about grandma ? lucky : well , grandma 's been thinking about moving out ever since mom went back to shadybrook -- that this house was too big for one person . so elizabeth and i are going to move in , and she 's going to move into an apartment on fourth street . she wants to stay within walking distance of her new great - grandchild . hmm . [ scene_break ] sam : eventually , you 're -- you 're going to have to face what you lost and try to get past it . that 's what i had to do with danny and my little girl . jason , when they died , i did n't think i was going to be able to move on . you saw there were days that i did n't know if i was going to get out of bed . and i did . you know , and i -- i finally had to learn to accept that they just were n't going to be with me anymore . jason : i wasted so much time , that 's all . sam : okay . that 's okay , just learn from it . i mean , if anything , alan 's death teaches us all that we 've got to spend a lot more time with the people that we love , no matter how difficult the circumstances . because you never know how long you 're going to have . are you going to be okay here ? jason : yeah , i 'll be fine . sam : i -- i think i have to go see alexis . jason , try not to think about what you missed with alan . just focus on what you do for so many other people . [ scene_break ] sonny : i did n't come here to add to your pain . i just wanted to tell you how sorry i am . edward : oh , what ? sorry for what ? because you kept alan from his grandchild , or because you 're feeling guilty because you destroyed his two sons ? sonny : jason did n't -- life did n't end in that car wreck . as a matter of fact , he became a different person . if you had accepted that , instead of , you know , doing what you guys did , things would 've been different . edward : jason would 've come back to this family in time . yes , his memory was lost , but his soul was n't -- until you stripped it of him and turned him into a life of crime . sonny : jason 's life may not have been what you wanted , edward , but it was his choice , not mine . edward : you know , he never even had time to call or come by and see his parents . no , he was too busy doing your dirty work to pay attention to his family . you know something ? it was because of you that jason did n't get to be with alan when he died . alan did n't even get to say goodbye to his son , and you stole that from him . you 're a gutter - smelling thief , corinthos . now , get the hell out of my house . [ scene_break ] carly : i know how it feels when love disintegrates into mistrust and resentment . i do n't want that for us . jax : no , neither do i . carly : that 's exactly what 's going to happen . i am going to do everything i can to earn your forgiveness and renew your faith in me , and every time i mention sonny , you 're going to have tons of questions . i will resent you for it . in no time at all , i will be acting out , and we will wind up hating each other , jax . jax : no , i could never hate -- i could never hate you . carly : you were this amazing gift that came into my life when i least expected it . no one has ever had a place in my heart the way you do . you accepted me for who i am and you love me in spite of it , and if you ca n't do than anymore , then we should just let it go . you got corn ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i guess i should n't be surprised -- that i need another dose of chemo -- because you told me that would happen . i just was n't expecting it to happen so soon . ahem . i have to , uh , be in court next week . i have a custody hearing . for my daughter molly . that takes priority . thank you . if you could see what you could do , i would appreciate that , thank you . [ knock on door ] alexis : come on in . sam : is it a bad time ? alexis : it 's getting hard to tell the difference . what 's going on ? sam : i -- um -- i do n't know if you heard , but alan died yesterday . alexis : nikolas told me . i went over there this morning . how 's jason ? sam : well , you see , that -- that 's kind of why i 'm here . you know , jason never really had a relationship with alan . and now that alan is gone , he really regrets all the time that he lost , and i just do n't want to have those same regrets . you 're the only mother that i 'm ever going to have . and i know that our relationship has n't been easy , and most of it has been my fault . i have done so many things that i am not proud of . so many things . all do is say that i am so sorry . i am so , so sorry . i never meant to hurt you . and i do n't expect you to forgive me or accept my apology . i just did n't want another day to go by without you knowing how really , truly sorry i am . alexis : i forgive you , sam . [ scene_break ] jax : look , i do n't want you to have to second - guess everything you say or do , as far as sonny is concerned . and i certainly do n't want you to be bending over backwards asking for forgiveness . and i do n't want to be bending over backwards competing for your affection . carly : there is no competition , jax , none . i love you . jax : and what about sonny ? i mean , as much as i would love for him just to disappear forever , i know ever going to happen , i know that he 's always going to be a part of your life . but if we 're going to be together -- and i 've said this before -- it has to be about us , okay , and no one else . carly : it would be , it would be . jax : until sonny 's next crisis -- manufactured or otherwise . carly : i thought i was helping sonny , jax . i thought i was helping sonny , but i ca n't . not the way he needs . look , i am getting a divorce no matter what happens between you and me because i ca n't be married to him . and if i still have a choice , i choose you .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : did you find the chairs ? lucky : found something even better -- lulu 's old crib . lulu : what ? that thing is still out there ? lucky : yeah , i guess mom kept it just in case she might need it again someday . so i was thinking maybe we could put it in the nursery for the baby . lulu : it 's white , so actually it would work for a boy or a girl . elizabeth : okay . it sounds perfect . nikolas : if you -- if you would allow the doctor to tell you what you were having , it would make decorating a lot easier . elizabeth : i know . lucky : yeah , we want it to be a surprise . lulu : so what are you guys hoping for ? lucky : a girl so we can name it after mom . nikolas : oh . what about you ? what do you prefer ? elizabeth : i just want a healthy baby -- no matter who he or she takes after . carly : lulu ? i guess i 'm interrupting . lulu : uh -- no , it 's actually sort of a coincidental family gathering . um -- lucky and elizabeth have some big news . lucky : we 're getting married again and moving in here . carly : wow . lucky : yeah , hey , listen , i hate to drop that on you and run , but i have to get back to work . elizabeth : and so do i . lucky : okay . lulu : oh . bye . nikolas : i need to get back myself , so -- lulu : you 're out ? oh . nikolas : yes , yes . lulu : bye . nikolas : carly . carly : yeah . lulu : oh . carly : well , now , that is the best news i 've heard in a while . lulu : i thought you hated elizabeth . carly : i do hate elizabeth . lulu : then why are you happy for her ? carly : because if she 's a married woman , she ca n't go sniffing around jason . lulu : elizabeth would not be sniffing around jason , she 's -- - carly : are you kidding , lulu ? elizabeth lives to go after jason . [ scene_break ] jason : this look on his face like he wanted to make a connection with me , you know , and i did n't -- i did n't want to disappoint him , so it was just easier for me if i just stayed away . sonny : you could n't have known that he was going to die so suddenly . jason : i always thought alan wanted more than -- than i could give him , you know ? but it turns out he really was n't asking for much , just to -- just spend some time with me . now it 's -- uh -- it 's too late .

[ scene_break ] lucky : how 's sam ? jason : she survived . which is amazing . she ca n't hear right now ; it 's too soon to know if it 's permanent . lucky : well , just let me know if i can do anything . jason : there is . i ca n't leave . i need you to find theo and brenda . lucky : i 'm already on it . dante said there was a catering van parked near the limo when the bomb went off . we 're thinking that 's what they used to move brenda from the pavilion after the switch with sam was made . we 're going through surveillance cameras seeing if we can trace the direction they were headed . so as soon as we come up with something , i 'll let you know . jason : thanks . lucky : look , jason , do n't worry about that side of things right now , okay ? dante and i are going to handle it . you just focus on sam . jason : i sent sam to the wedding alone . right into theo 's trap .

[ scene_break ] luke : hey . i helped myself . i 'm sure you could use one , too . sonny : i 've wasted enough time . luke : listen , you just saw your wife -- or so you thought -- blown up in a car . you need to take a breath , regroup , think this through . sonny : brenda 's alive ; i want to keep her that way . luke : i understand , but you got ta take some time to make sure you 're making the smartest move . sonny : i had a lead . a guy named shawn butler . theo brought him into work as a security consultant at diane 's firm . and i added him to the list as security at my wedding . luke : someone on the inside who would n't raise suspicion . sonny : jason made a connection that theo was the balkan and he tried to use this shawn guy to flush him out . luke : so this guy diverts jason and sam is switched for brenda . sonny : now she can be anywhere . i ca n't even question this guy . luke : dead ? sonny : he would be if my kids did n't walk in . [ scene_break ] shawn : all right , do n't get me wrong , i appreciate the save , detective . but i ca n't help noticing you have n't made a move to call this in . or ask if i 'm interested in pressing charges against sonny . dante : you want me to call this in ? i need to take your statement , like how you ended up here and how you got involved , carly . carly : i found shawn laying on the side of the road . when i pulled over to see if he was okay , he pulled a gun on me and he forced me to bring him here . dante : wow , in that case we 're talking felony weapons charges , car jacking , kidnapping . maybe i should call this in . carly : but shawn had lost a lot of blood and he was dizzy and really out of it , so . i do n't think he knew what he was doing . shawn : look , i know i needed help . if it were n't for carly , i probably would have bled to death . and she patched me up and kept her ex from trying to kill me . thank you . dante : how long have you been working for theo hoffman ? shawn : i work for myself . contract my services out to theo on occasion . dante : what kind of services are we talking about ? shawn : nothing legal . dante : well , at least you 're being honest . shawn : i have nothing to hide . i want theo caught as badly as you do . carly : we need to get you to a hospital . come on . dante : you know what , i 'll take him . you can tell me all about theo hoffman on the way . [ scene_break ] lucky : theo was hiding in plain sight until he was perfectly in position . i do n't think there 's anything you could have done . jason : i mean , there 's no point in second - guessing . it 's not going to change anything . lucky : exactly . i do n't think you could have changed sam 's mind about helping , anyway . i mean , theo 's cover was blown . somebody had to warn sonny . jason : i know that sam can take care of herself . but when i saw her on that gurney ... i spoke to diane and spinelli and had them start searching theo 's records and just come up with something . lucky : there is another angle we can work . apparently theo is married . siobhan 's sister overheard one of his men mention a wife on a phone call . jason : what , aleksander 's mother ? lucky : it could be . all i know is that there 's a woman out there who could lead us right to theo . and all we have to do is find her .

[ scene_break ] sonny : this guy kidnapped carly at gunpoint and basically admitted that he worked for theo . and carly still defended him . got in my face and said she was n't going to leave so i can get information out of this guy . luke : leave it to caroline to muddy the waters . sonny : i mean , i still could have done what i was going to do , if you know what i 'm saying , right ? but guess what ? michael walks in . and it turns out that morgan was listening , too , by the door . so he calls dante . dante shows up . badge in hand . luke : oh , man , having a cop for a kid is a negative . always a negative . sonny : if i had known morgan was listening ... i mean , i do n't want my kids knowing ugly things that i have to do , you know , the things that are necessary . but dante , he already knows firsthand , 'cause i shot him . and now michael and morgan , they know what i 'm capable of . luke : i know what it 's like to fall off the pedestal that your kids put you on . it 's painful . [ scene_break ] michael : tell mom i 'll call her in the morning . morgan : where are you going ? michael : to check on dad . sam 's at the hospital , jason 's not going to leave her side . dad needs help finding brenda now . morgan : i 'm sure dante 's doing all that he can . michael : dante 's a cop . there are certain lines he wo n't cross . that leaves me . morgan : what about your parole ? michael : it 's not a violation if you do n't get caught . carly : and if you do ? no . there 's no way in hell i 'm going to let you do this .

carly : no , no , because you 're nothing like anthony . a - and i certainly did n't think you 'd be hiding something like this . johnny : well , technically , i was n't the one doing the hiding . carly : no , but you 're the one who got hurt . johnny : i understand why you went to luke . i mean , why sleep with me when you can blackmail me instead , right ? carly : not exactly my finest moment . johnny : well , you were trying to keep your kid out of the business . and while your methods were n't exactly politically correct , i understand your intentions . carly : thanks . johnny : whatever truth luke dug up about my family , i had to find out sooner or later , i guess . carly : you know , once you start sorting it all out , you can let it go . johnny : not likely . carly : whatever choices were made , whatever mistakes , they were n't yours . johnny : well , sonny made a lot of wrong choices . and he 's gon na pay for them . sonny : anthony zacchara tried to kill you on our wedding day . kate : that was years ago , sonny . you managed to overlook that for a very long time . sonny : you 're right . i should have avenged you sooner . kate : you 're deliberately missing the point . i do n't want to be avenged . dante does n't want to be avenged . we just want you to be safe and whole and not facing murder charges . sonny : i 've never been convicted , and as far as i know , i 'm -- i 'm not gon na be . kate : we 're not in a courtroom , sonny . you do n't have to play word games with me . it 's ... i 'm sorry . it 's obvious that i asked you not to go after anthony , and you did . sonny : i was protecting the people i care about . that -- that includes you . kate : i poured my feelings out to you . i dumped everything i have on the gurney you were lying on so you would understand why i was walking away , and you still do n't get it . sonny : i heard you , okay ? you were afraid . but i also heard you were making demands that you knew i could n't meet . kate : why is it so impossible for me to -- for me to demand that you do n't go out and shoot a man ? sonny : this is who i am . you know that . it 's who i 've always been . you love me anyway . just like i know who you are . kate : you have no idea who i am . sonny : i grew up ... scared and desperate , and i turned myself into a powerful person . i left that little boy behind in bensonhurst , just like you gave up connie to become kate howard . kate : i left you on that street corner for a reason , sonny . i think i was smarter then than i am now . sonny : you 're both . you 're connie falconeri , the first girl who broke my heart , and you 're kate howard , the last one i want to break it . tell me . tell me we 're not over . luke : hey , look . you hold off on your vengeance until you have time to come up with a good , solid plan . ethan : i just need some time alone to feel close to cassandra and say goodbye . thank you for showing up when you did . luke 's right . your timing is impeccable . and i 'm glad you 're okay . holly : you 'll be okay . you 'll be okay , too . ethan : [ sniffles ] luke : i hate to see him like this . holly : what you said was exactly what he wanted to hear , what he needed to hear . some loves last a lifetime and some just a moment , but they still matter . luke : i meant every word . thank you for answering my distress call . the cavalry never looked so good . holly : no complaints about my method ? luke : oh , you can lie to helena all you want . just do n't lie to me . holly : i do n't think she 's gon na be very happy when she finds out the results of the dna test and you are the father . this is n't over . luke : no , it is n't . but there 's no way in hell i 'll let that bitch harm my son . i 'm so overdue for ripping her bloody head off . sonny : i really need you in my life . i 'm asking for your help . robin scorpio died last night . kate : what ? sonny : there was an accident in the -- in the hospital lab . she ... she was ... trapped inside . kate : oh , my god . i 'm so sorry . sonny : i never told you how -- how close we were and what she meant to me , but she was , uh ... she was like my little sister . kate : because of stone ? sonny : no . it was more than that . she ... she was a big , uh , part of my life . we -- she was practically family . kate : [ voice breaking ] i know . sonny : and then i , uh -- i , you know -- i -- for whatever reason , i let her drift away , and -- and now she 's gone . i really ca n't lose another person who 's close to me . there are things that , you know , you want to say , things you did n't say . i ca n't make it right with robin , but i - i want to make it right with you ... ... because i love you . kate : i love you , too . johnny : i will deal with sonny when i 'm ready , in my own way . carly : here 's an idea . why deal with sonny at all ? why not let sonny live his own life and run his own business and you do the same ? johnny : sounds to me like you 're protecting him again . carly : no . i 'm trying to protect you from your own worst impulses . johnny : [ chuckles ] well , then , why do n't you at least let me return the favor ? instead of leaving , why do n't you stay and , i do n't know , maybe it 'll be for a night , maybe more , but we 'll never know if you run off . carly : who says i 'm running off ? anna : [ sniffles ] [ cell phone rings ] [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] oh , god . just for tonight it 's never quite as easy in the morning and we can just ignore the sun 's warnings just for tonight just for tonight all that we need is each other and maybe it 's better as lovers just for tonight carly : excuse me . johnny : what ? am i boring you ? carly : [ chuckles ] no . no . josslyn , she has a , um , toy date in the park . i want to make sure it 's not gon na rain . [ tv turns on ] i 'll have to change plans . johnny : yeah . carly : that 's the wrong channel . back to our top story . an explosion at general hospital claimed the life of a prominent local doctor last night . dr. robin scorpio - drake , formerly the hospital 's chief of staff , was killed in a laboratory explosion . preliminary reports indicate that a gas leak was responsible , possibly due to a faulty line . robert : this is robert scorpio . i 'm away from my phone at the moment . leave a message , and i 'll call you back .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : [ sighs ] see ? nothing 's changed . ellie : oh . yeah , the test tubes are in the racks , the blood samples are in the cooling unit , and my microscopes are on the bench . everything 's exactly where i left it . i guess -- i guess i 'm the only thing that 's changed . not that i 'm complaining . i would so much rather be using this walker than a wheelchair . spinelli : and soon you wo n't need anything . ellie : in the meantime , i just need to figure out the best way to navigate around this lab , despite my limitations . spinelli : well , if there 's anything i can do to be of assistance ... ellie : i know . i know how much you want to help , and i appreciate it , but this is why i came in a day early -- you know , to get re - acclimated -- because i want to be able to handle my job on my own .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i used to take pride in all the details , making sure the event came out smoothly . you know , it 's really nice to be needed for something again -- besides being a baby incubator , i mean . frisco : listen , i 'm glad that you 're keeping busy , but do n't push it too much . maxie : this is n't my first quickie wedding . trust me . although it is my first in i.c.u . frisco : you had any more run - ins with this dr. westbourne ? maxie : not a peep since you told her to stay away from me . frisco : well , let me know if you do . maxie : i still feel really guilty about that horrible trick she had me play on sabrina , making her think she 'd killed one of her patients by giving him the wrong medication . i mean , let 's face it -- dr. westbourne is despicable . there 's no guarantee she 's gon na keep her mouth shut that this baby 's mine and spinelli 's . frisco : can i help you with something ?

[ scene_break ] lulu : hmm . how are you doing ? dillon : uh -- okay . i mean , i 'm trying to make myself useful , but i do n't know . i 'm no good with the family -- i 'm just as emotional as they are . lulu : well , alan 's death -- thank you -- hit everybody really hard . you know , my grandma , lesley , left to go to the quartermaines ' to bring a pie and -- ah -- and i told her that i thought cook had things covered , but she said it was the thought and not the food , and then she started crying and -- dillon : yeah . it 's funny -- ned and i actually tried to stage , like , a petty squabble so my mom could walk in and see it and it would make her feel better , but she -- she caught on . lulu : well , if you want to talk , i 'm kind of at your mercy . dillon : i need a distraction . i need a murder mystery . i need to know -- what 's the deal with scott baldwin ? lulu : well , i 'm sure that he knows something about the night rick webber died . i just -- i ca n't figure out a way to get him to talk about it without making him suspicious . scott : making who suspicious ? [ scene_break ] sonny : oh -- look who 's back . jax : i understand you 've been called as a witness to alexis ' custody hearing . we need to get a couple of things straight first . sonny : yeah , we do -- but it has nothing to do with alexis . [ scene_break ] [ jackhammer runs ] carly : hey . what are you doing here ? jason : a lot happened in here . my -- my whole life changed . [ scene_break ] sonny : so you disappear , and then bam , you come back -- almost like you knew something was up . jax : well , this is where i live . sonny : right . jax : it 's where my future is . i was always coming back ; it was just a question of when . sonny : but you had other priorities . jax : well , you know , my brother , jerry , got in a little trouble in siberia . it took a little longer than i planned . sonny : that 's a standup thing to do . you know , you drop everything here , and then you fly all over the world playing hero for your brother . jax : considering the brother you have , i would n't expect you to understand . sonny : right , right . jax : speaking of ric -- he 's decided to show his true colors . he 's planning to steal molly away from alexis and he 's subpoenaed you to testify . do n't let your temper get the best of you . sonny : okay , i wo n't . why is that your problem anyway ? jax : because i do n't want you to say something that might destroy people 's lives . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm sorry . i was n't close to my father , and then he was gone . all you can think about is what was n't resolved . jason : yeah , alan was -- was waiting . emily said he tried to hold on , but i did n't make it in time . i never even gave the guy a chance . carly : that sounds like misplaced guilt . jason : well , it is what it is , carly -- a man who wanted to be a part of his son 's life and a son who treated him like a stranger . carly : alan treated you like a walking tragedy . i -- i 'm sorry . i know he 's gone and i do n't mean to speak ill of the dead , and i know he was devastated that he did n't have a close relationship with you . but the way he treated you after the accident , jason -- it was only natural for you to pull away . you ca n't blame yourself . [ scene_break ] lulu : scott , what brings you back ? scott : well , i wanted to finish the conversation with lesley without your father breathing down my neck . lulu : well , my grandma went over to the quartermaines ' . um -- but you should probably call before you show up . we 're not really good with surprises . scott : listen , dillon , i 'm -- i 'm sorry about your loss . alan and i -- we go way back . dillon : thank you . scott : so -- anyway , what are you guys suspicious about ? what 's -- what 's going on ? dillon : oh -- um -- my mom still thinks that i 'm a business major , and -- and if she finds out that i changed my major back to film , she 's going to go postal , so , you know , she just -- she just ca n't find out , especially now . scott : so you 're attracted to bad boys , huh ? that 's the trouble your mother had . lulu : huh . that 's -- that 's interesting , because i thought the trouble that my mom had was accidentally killing someone in the scorpio attic . maybe you could set me straight on what really happened that night . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm not avoiding . my test results are n't available till the end of the day , so you 're stuck with me . robin : hmm . great . patrick : so do you want to talk about someone who 's really avoiding ? robin : okay . fine , you -- you want to talk about your trip to vegas ? patrick : ancient history . robin : yeah , me , too . i 'm totally over it . see -- i 'm not avoiding anything . patrick : you almost died . robin : but i did n't , thanks to my brilliant doctor - surgeon boyfriend . patrick : okay , but someone you really cared about did die . want to talk about that ? robin : you know , if i had n't been shot , alan might 've lived . i was the only other doctor there . patrick : i know how much alan meant to you , but it was n't your fault . robin : and it was n't a complicated condition . people have heart attacks all the time , and they 're fine if they just get the proper care . patrick : you once told me that you might not have become a doctor if alan had n't encouraged you . you might not have lived , you said . he was a connection to a very special time in your life . robin : for months all i thought about was stone 's health , and alan was the one who took care of me . i owe him a lot more than what he got . patrick : i 'm sure he 'd forgive you . mac : hey . robin : hey . georgie : hi , cousin . robin : hello . maxie : you look so good ! robin : oh -- thanks . georgie : you 're okay ? robin : yes , i 'm fine . mac : is she resting ? patrick : she 's resting . robin : well , i did n't really have a choice , did i ? mac : well , that 's right . you know , i would n't trust your recovery to anyone but family . georgie : so if mac 's not here , then one of us will be .

[ scene_break ] jason : the way alan acted after my accident was about a father trying to hold on to his son . carly : the truth is alan could never stop grieving for his golden boy , the a student who wanted to become a doctor . and the fact that he could n't let go of his disappointment was the real tragedy , jason . you did the best you could . you may not have been the devoted son that alan always wanted , but you never turned him away , you were always there , and you tried . jason : all i know is it 's -- it 's more difficult to be a parent than i ever imagined . carly : now that you figured it out , you can avoid making the same mistakes when you become a father . look at this room .

[ robin sighs ] patrick : and i also cried when i was outside the or , when one of the other doctors was trying to fix up the mess i made of you . all i wanted to do was save your life . what ? robin : you really cried over me ? patrick : i was a mess . and if you tell anyone , i 'll deny it . [ scene_break ] maxie : what are you doing ? coop : i ca n't stay anymore -- too many close calls . maxie : well , it 's too dangerous on the street . you ca n't be seen in public . coop : i 've been monitoring the news reports . the only description on me right now is height and weight . maxie : you still ca n't risk it . coop : it might be my only chance to get out of town before one of the others in custody gives me up . maxie : well , where are you going to go ? coop : i do n't know . but it 'll be far away from port charles . [ scene_break ] sonny : actually , i 've had to fight for everything that 's mine . you , on the other hand , think everything comes to you with a warranty . if it breaks down a little bit , just , you know , get it replaced , get it fixed -- you know , you do . jax : that 's right . sonny : nothing you do matters anyway , so ' jax : and you 're the poor boy who put up a good fight and rose to the top , right ? well , you and i both know it 's all an act . the only real anchors in your life are children who depend on you and killers who are on your payroll , so do n't lecture me about what 's irreplaceable . i know the value of what i have and how to keep it . carly : sonny , we need to ' [ scene_break ] sam : hey . do n't look so worried . we talked and , believe it or not , i am fine with it .

[ scene_break ] maxie : so how come you do n't go running off to your girlfriend ? would n't she give you a safe place to hide ? coop : well , it depends -- the more money i have , the better she likes me . right now , i 'm broke . maxie : well , traveling costs money , and i do n't have any to give you . coop : i wo n't rob anybody if that 's what you 're worried about -- or take hostages . i sure wo n't take your money . you 've already saved my life . that 's more than enough . maxie : wait . do you trust me ? coop : what does that have to do with anything ? maxie : i just think going on the run is a big mistake . you need to hide in plain sight . [ scene_break ] patrick : i keep saying `` you almost died `` because it was deliberate , not a random act -- a car crash or an aneurysm , or even aids . these people intentionally tried to end your life because they could , and i -- i tried to imagine how -- how that must 've felt or would 've been like , and i just -- robin : i remember seeing the flash from the gun -- you know how i feel about guns . patrick : yeah . robin : and then all of a sudden , my stomach was burning . huh . instinctively , i tried to diagnose myself -- g.s.w . to the abdomen . and then i felt my body starting to go numb . i knew that i was going shock . when the pain got really bad , i -- uh -- i left my body . it was -- i was kind of over myself , watching everything . but i knew that you were on the other end of the phone , talking emily through the surgery . everyone was panicking . i was completely calm , because i knew that you were there , and i just tried so badly to say something . i kept trying to -- i just -- i wanted them to tell you -- i just wanted them to tell you so badly . patrick : what ? robin : that no matter what happened -- you know , if i did n't make it -- that i loved you so much . patrick : i knew that . robin : after the surgery , i was in this really weird state . i would kind of drift awake long enough to see bits and pieces -- you know , kind of like fast- forwarding through commercials . everyone was moving around -- sonny was there , then he was n't , then all of a sudden elizabeth turned into lulu , and i just -- then i heard alan . he sounded really scared . and then i heard the words `` heart attack , `` then i heard them use the paddles . and i just was trying -- i just kept telling myself , `` if i can just stand up , if i can just get up , i can help him . `` but my body was not responding to what my mind was trying to tell it to do . and every minute that passed , i knew that he was lying there getting worse , and i was n't doing anything . i was just lying there . he was truly a gentle man . he was so good to me , and he was so good to stone when no one knew what to make of us . he taught me about tolerance . he taught me that there is no room for prejudice in medicine or in life . i mean , i know he had his problems . but alan -- he just had the kindest , biggest heart . alan did n't have to die , i did n't have to live -- that 's random . patrick : hey -- robin : i 'm going to miss him a lot . i 'm going to miss my friend . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't want you guys getting into some big fight because of me . sonny : we were n't talking about you . carly : really ? sonny : yeah , we were talking about alexis . because you know how close jax is with alexis , and he 's worried about her . jax : i came here to talk to sonny about the custody hearing . i wanted to warn him that ric will try to pull out all the legal tricks to get molly away from alexis , and not to fall into his trap . carly : okay , fine , you know what ? the school called . michael got into a fight . this is from the counselor . i already talked to them , but they want to make sure you know that your son 's acting out . jax and i have to go . [ scene_break ] sam : max told you i was at the hospital to see father ruiz , right ? jason : is -- is everything okay ? sam : yeah . i mean , the thing about being held hostage with someone is you kind of get to see who they really are , and he really is n't a bad person . he 's just trying to put all the wrong he 's done behind him , and i guess you ca n't blame him . i mean , anyone would really want to do that . jason : yeah , sometimes it 's , you know , not that easy . sometimes things stay with you forever . jason : choices we make that affect people 's lives . sam : i know you 're hurting over alan . i was n't sure i should say anything to you or tell you this , but i -- but i think it might be worse if your grandfather just springs it on you at the service . jason : okay , you lost me for a second . sam : okay , i know , i 'm sure i did . edward wants me to work on you , to help bring you back to the quartermaines . [ scene_break ] scott : this must be really hard for you . i mean , luke 's your father and you love him , but he is to blame for what happened to laura . lulu : huh . dillon : really ? it seems like from everything we know , if anyone was to blame , it 'd be rick . scott : well , laura had buried these memories of killing theresa for 30 years . she had a life and she had a family , and if it had n't been for luke who came along and -- and pushed it -- he knew that i would never have let laura go off the deep end . i mean , rick was desperate and he was running out of time , and luke just stirred things up . lulu : why would n't you warn my mother about rick if you knew so much ? scott : because i thought that if i warned your mother , it might set off a chain of events -- and it turned out worse than i imagined . rick webber is dead , and your mother is the way she is . lulu : uh -- you 're leaving ? scott : yeah . you tell lesley i 'll come back at another time -- but i 'll call first . dillon : wait , wait a minute , we 're not done here . scott : yeah , we are done here , okay ? listen , lulu , you do n't want to think about this , but your mother is the way she is because of your father .

[ scene_break ] carly : okay , if we are going to change the front desk , we 're going to have to do it now . jax : okay , you know what ? you did n't drag me out of sonny 's to discuss floor plans . you want him to think that everything 's okay between us , which it 's not . you 're trying to make him jealous , is that it ? carly : i do n't need to make him jealous . i do n't want to with sonny . jax : you want our lives . carly : i want my life back . [ jackhammer runs ] carly : i want the life back where i get to decide who i am and where i am , and if you want to be a part of that , i -- i will be happy beyond words . but if you do n't , fine . we will just go back to strictly being partners in this hotel and that 's all . jax : you 'd be okay with that ? carly : no , i would n't be okay with that . i would be devastated and i would cry and i would yell , and i would probably do a lot of stupid things to prove that you do n't matter to me when you really , really do matter to me . jax : okay . carly : but then i would get over it , because i 'm not going to fall apart for any man ever again . [ saw runs ] jax : well , as long as we 're laying it out , i wo n't have my heart kicked in again , either . and i wo n't put my trust and faith into someone , to find out that i 'm -- i 'm wrong again . and i have to know that i wo n't find sonny in our bed , okay ? carly : oh , jax -- jax : now , you have to understand that it might take me a while to accept that none of those things are going to happen .

jason : arresting spinelli is a violation of our agreement . you need to let him go . agent rayner : at the risk of sounding obvious , you 're in no position to make demands . jason : i 'm asking you to be a man of your word and honor our agreement . agent rayner : i gave you all the time i had , and you failed to deliver zacchara . did you think we were going to wait indefinitely ? jason : if i were n't standing here having this conversation with you , i 'd be closer to finding him . agent rayner : closer does n't cut it . jason : okay , look . i 'm on it . you 're going to have anthony tonight . agent rayner : well , you better back that up with the goods , and you better put a rush on it , because i 'm going to deliver mr. spinelli to a federal prison in one hour .

[ scene_break ] agent rayner : take a break . we 'll transport him in an hour or so . mr. spinelli , we meet again . spinelli : indeed , which rather swiftly brings me to the clarification i seek . i was under the apparently mistaken impression that my legal woes had been addressed . agent rayner : a deal was made on your behalf . it was n't honored . unfortunately , you 're the guy in the middle . maxie : oh , excuse me . i need to see my dad . policeman : i 'm sorry , maxie . the commissioner is not in at the moment . maxie : never mind . what 's going on ? agent rayner : you 're not authorized to be in here . maxie : well , i already am . and in case you missed it in your single - minded persecution against my poor friend spinelli , my dad is the boss of everyone in there , and no cop is going to throw me out of here on the account of you . agent rayner : would care to put that theory to a test ? maxie : i just want you to honor the deal you made and let poor spinelli go . agent rayner : miss jones , you 're interfering in a classified government operation . i suggest you stop yourself now , or i will throw you in jail for obstruction of justice . [ scene_break ] anthony : from the lack of verbal communication , i 'm going to take a wild guess and assume it 's morgan back there . can i turn around and face death like a man ? jason : slowly . anthony : except i 'm not facing death , and we both know it . see , i 'm thinking you cut a deal with the feds to save your tech geek , and it requires my live body . and to tell you the truth , that does n't bother me . it 's not the worst of alternatives . so i 'll go with you quietly and let my lawyers earn their keep . after all , i 'm just a crazy old man .

[ phone rings ] jason : yeah . sonny : i need you to talk me through dismantling a bomb . [ scene_break ] alexis : let me just say that by walking in here and throwing your money around and pressuring this poor woman to wait on you could be ... actionable in a court of law . nikolas : that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard in my entire life . i 'm a customer here , just like everybody else . alexis : all right , let me just -- i 'm sorry . what is your last name ? rebecca : shaw . alexis : all right , has miss shaw asked you more than once to leave her alone ? nikolas : you 're interrogating me right now ? alexis : yes or no ? nikolas : yes , yes . alexis : okay , so after asking you more than once , you continue to come in here and harass her , so , in fact , you are ignoring her request . nikolas : this is a public place . i can come here whenever i want . alexis : but still , you are using your money and power to try to force her to do something that she does n't want to do . so it is clearly questionable behavior at best . i mean , ca n't you see that ? rebecca : look , in all fairness , i did n't give nikolas much of a choice .

[ scene_break ] carly : you know , sometimes i feel like i jinx myself . i know that sounds ridiculous . but if i had n't sent housekeeping over to move all jax 's things in the second we got back together -- it was like i was pushing so hard to have everything i wanted , it 's like the universe just pushed back . i mean , before mercedes had all of jax 's suits put away , we get a phone call from bernie that we have to put more guards on morgan . you would think sonny would call me himself to him know what was going on . you know , `` hey , carly , our kid may be in danger . i have to put more guards on him . `` but no , he did n't do that . but i ca n't get fired up and angry and bitter at sonny , because what the hell does that do ? it does n't bring michael back . it does n't make morgan any safer . olivia : honey , i do n't know what to say . i do n't know what i would do . if my kid was in danger because of sonny corinthos , i do n't know -- i would change my name , leave town , or just go out of my mind . i mean -- you know , he 's always been like this , even when we were growing up . i mean , of course , not that there was anyone 's children involved with him that anyone had to worry about , obviously . but he was just always getting into trouble -- you know , in some neighborhood fight , or joe scully would call him with a job , and he would just disappear , you know , for hours or sometimes for days . and i would just be ... pulling my freaking hair out , you know ? and , of course , the whole time i would have to cover to my parents and to my brothers who -- let me tell you , they hated him . i could not let them know that i was seeing him . and then he would just come strolling back , just come strolling by , flashing his dimples like nothing ever happened , like there was nothing wrong , you know . and i -- carly , i would go ballistic . we would have a fight . i 'd be screaming in his face . and then i 'd go stomping off . i would swear to god , to whoever was listening to me , that i did n't care about him , i was through with him . i did n't care what happened to sonny anymore . carly : but you did . and i think you still do . olivia : you know , of course -- of course i care what happens to him . i mean , we 've got a history together . and , of course , i do n't want anything bad to happen to him , but ... you know . the one thing i know about sonny is he does n't need any protecting . carly : you still worry about him . you can admit it to me . i 'm not going to hold it against you . olivia : you know , you can admit that you 're still worried about him , too . that does n't take away anything you got going on with jax .

[ scene_break ] patrick : well , i thought that we could make some popcorn , watch one of the movies we 've both seen like 50 times , and spend the evening with emma . robin : that sounds like heaven , but life goes on beyond these walls . these are about a week late . we have n't done major grocery shopping in about two weeks , and dry cleaning is piling up . and this christmas present that i ordered for uncle mac finally showed up , so i 'm going to go drop it off to him . patrick : all very , very worthy causes , but i had a very long day with the hospital rebuilding committee , and i was hoping i could spend some quality time with my girls . robin : in a perfect world , that would work . but until we get that nanny that we 've been talking about -- patrick : yes . robin : we have to switch off , okay ? so now it 's my turn to go out into the world . patrick : okay , i get it . robin : do you ? patrick : yes , i do . you probably feel a little cooped up , a little cabin fever , and you want to be among people who walk upright and finish sentences and everything . em and i will be fine . [ robin sighs ] robin : now you 're making me feel guilty . patrick : no , absolutely not my intention . robin : i 'll be back soon . patrick : we 'll be here . [ scene_break ] rebecca : must be nice -- having a butler . nikolas : oh . you probably find that pretentious , do n't you ? rebecca : i try not to judge . it 's just not my experience . rebecca : yeah , i should let you change . nikolas : well , do n't -- do n't go far . i 'd still like to talk to you , if that 's okay . rebecca : yeah , i 'll be downstairs . [ scene_break ] jason : so anthony dumped claudia on a roof , strapped her to a bomb , and tried to take off . so when i got the drop on him , i left him for rayner . sam : all right , what about claudia ? jason : what about claudia ? uh , sonny dismantled the bomb . but all that matters is that i gave anthony to the feds . sam : you already held up your end of the deal . your part is done , jason . jason : no , no , it 's not done . not according to rayner , it 's not done . now he wants sonny . sam : oh , of course . of course , rayner still has all this incriminating evidence against spinelli -- jason : and he has no problem using it as leverage against me because he knows i 'm not going to let spinelli take the fall . sam : okay , all right . the way i see it , you probably have one of two choices . you either give up sonny , or let spinelli go to prison . jason : no , that is not going to happen , sam . sam : which one , jason ? jason : either one . either one . sonny and i just started working together , so i 'm not going to betray him , and i 'm not going to sacrifice spinelli . sam : okay , well , what are you going to do ? [ scene_break ] [ claudia groans ] sonny : you want to -- what are you -- you want to stop ? claudia : no , not at all . i just , um , i do n't need for you to love me . i do n't even need you to like me very much , but i do need to know that you want to be right here in this minute , in this moment with me and no one else . [ scene_break ] rebecca : are you dressed ? nikolas : yeah , come on in . nikolas : oh , thank you . i 'm sorry for taking over your room here . i appreciate it . rebecca : no problem . nikolas : are you comfortable in here ? rebecca : yeah . why ? nikolas : i do n't know . it 's pretty small . i can imagine the noise coming up from the diner during the busy hours , making it difficult for you to sleep . especially if you 're not working the breakfast shift . and really , there 's no place to put your things in here anywhere . rebecca : you know , actually , i travel light . and , uh , i do n't think of this place as small . it 's cozy . the main attraction for me right now is it 's cheap and that 's a priority . so thank you , but i 'm okay . nikolas : okay . i just thought with a little help that you could do better . remember i told you i own part of the metro court ? i could comp you a room until you get back on your feet . right . i 'm doing it again . i 'm being presumptuous and you value your independence . i just thought that i could make things a little easier for you , that 's all . rebecca : yeah , because you look at me and you see someone that you used to take care of . see , the problem with that is i 'm rebecca and i do n't want or need your help . nikolas : okay . i understand . i do . it 's just for me , it 's mostly about instinct . i like helping people . sometimes in a controlling , overbearing way , yes , but sometimes in a well - intentioned way . rebecca : well , at least you are somewhat self - aware . nikolas : so , listen , you 've been great . thank you . and again , i 'm really sorry about the tomato soup fiasco . i 'll go ahead and get out of your way . rebecca : hey , wait . thought you wanted to talk . nikolas : well , i do . i just did n't think that was an option anymore . rebecca : how about you stop deciding what i think ? you have n't had dinner yet and mike already left , so i could throw something together . nikolas : okay , i 'd like that very much . [ scene_break ] sonny : you okay ? claudia : mm - hmm . i 'm good . i 'm great , actually . i guess we have n't lost our rhythm . sonny : yeah , i guess not . claudia : so i 'll make you a deal . sonny : you 're going to take advantage of me now that i 'm weak ? claudia : yeah . it 's an easy one . let 's just agree that we 'll pretend this was our first time , that that night last year never happened . sonny : yeah , i could do that . claudia : yeah , that 's because you can do just about anything . that 's what i 'm starting to think . you saved my life tonight . my father was n't kidding . i hope he rots from the inside out . sonny : anthony ca n't hurt you anymore -- at least i do n't think so . what did he mean -- something that 's on my mind a lot -- when he said that there 's something i do n't know ? claudia : who knows ? i mean , what does my father ever mean ? sonny : yeah , but he seemed very serious when he said it . claudia : you know what ? anthony zacchara should have gone to hollywood . that 's how good of an actor he is . you ca n't listen to anything he says , seriously . johnny 's voice : claudia , are you home ? claudia : is that john ? what 's he doing here ? [ sonny groans ] sonny : this is just -- claudia : well , i hope -- i hope nothing 's wrong . claudia : john ? what 's going on ? johnny : hey , i 've got to talk to you . claudia : okay , unless it 's an emergency , to be honest with you , now is not really the most convenient time . johnny : okay , i just watched the feds cart our father off to prison . claudia : sorry i missed it . johnny : the point is , claudia , he 's gone for a very long time , if not for the rest of our lives . claudia : when am i supposed to care ? johnny : it 's over . this whole scam of a marriage that you 're in because of a business deal dad made ? come on , pack a bag . we 'll send for your stuff tomorrow . claudia : hey , i 'm -- no , i 'm not leaving , john . this is where i live . johnny : why not ? what 's keeping you here ? sonny : what do you need , johnny ? johnny : i need you to leave us alone . claudia : hey , john , come on . this is sonny 's house . a little respect , please . sonny : do n't worry about it . i 'm not offended , trust me . claudia : well , i am . johnny , whatever you have to say , i 'm sure you can come back and say it at a more convenient time . sonny : you know what ? go ahead and talk to your brother . claudia : why ? sonny : because i 've got to be somewhere . claudia : you do ? sonny : yeah . it wo n't take too long . johnny : okay , i do n't care what i walked in on or how much you protest , but as soon as sonny 's car clears that driveway , i 'm getting you out of here . [ scene_break ] jason : i do n't know . i 'm going to have to get him out of the country , set him up somewhere with a new identity . sam : oh , jason , first of all , this is spinelli we 're talking about . how long do you think he would actually last with a new identity ? jason : it does n't matter . i 'm going to have to sit him down and make him understand that his freedom depends on this . sam : oh , no . what about his life here ? have you ever thought about that ? what about maxie ? she would go absolutely nuts if he vanished out of her life , and he would be miserable . and then you 've got rayner , who would have every international organization in the world looking for him . jason : i do n't like this idea either , but i do n't know what else to do at this point . spinelli : hail , hail , the gang 's all here and we 're ready for a celebration ! we may now raise the proverbial roof -- woot woot -- in honor of friendship and unwavering loyalty . your faithful grasshopper will never be able to fully express his gratitude for the awesome act of selflessness that freed him from the clutches of the federal ones . so i hope this party in your honor will suffice , inadequate as it may be . [ scene_break ] patrick : you must have noticed your mom has been so much better since you were sick . the way she left tonight had nothing to do with you , emma , or the after- effect of you . she just needed to be among adults and take care of things that need to be taken care of because she 's so busy loving you . because she does love you , you know ? with all her heart , she does . [ knock at door ] patrick : we got a visitor . who 's that ? hey , sonny . sonny : i was out driving alone and i saw your light was on and i thought maybe i could catch a glimpse of robin rocking emma . patrick : yeah , not much chance of that , not tonight . actually , emma is sleeping in her crib . you can take a look . sonny : can i come in ? patrick : yeah , absolutely . sonny : what is she doing in there ? [ sonny laughs ] [ phone rings ] patrick : excuse me for a second . sonny : yeah . patrick : this is dr. drake . yes , jennifer adams is my patient . i was afraid of that . she 's going to need emergency surgery . no , no , i ca n't . i understand that you 're short - handed , but my wife is out and there 's no one to watch my baby . well , what about dr. lang ? who else is on call ? [ scene_break ] johnny : dad told me he 's not going to implicate you in michael 's shooting . claudia : well , i gathered as much . the question is , why ? i mean , i do n't understand . am i supposed to guess ? is it just too delicious for him having that ammunition , or is it his way of protecting you ? johnny : no , he thinks sonny 's going to kill you and i 'm going to end up dead going after him . of course , dad could change his mind at any given moment without warning . claudia : yeah , well , so let him . sonny wo n't believe him . johnny : what makes you think so ? claudia : just do n't underestimate me , johnny . johnny : care to elaborate on that ? claudia : we 're getting along very well . [ johnny scoffs ] johnny : yeah , because you 're sleeping together . claudia : well , there 's that . but it 's not just that . i mean , we 're definitely starting to -- not trust each other , but we 're getting closer . and i know that i can make sure we get even closer still . johnny : okay , one question , claudia . why bother ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : woo - hoo ! the jackal feared his sweet freedom would become a distant memory , that he would spend year after endless year feasting on gruel three times a day in the midst of scary criminals who have no appreciation for the jackal 's particular charm , that i would never again smell the intoxicating fragrance of sweet maximista 's hair . but then , much like the cyber character he is created for , stone cold came to the rescue and life has never tasted so poignant . maxie : does n't spinelli use the best words ? `` poignant `` -- i love that . spinelli : oh , actually , i have a proposal to offer fair samantha . maxie : a proposal ? sam : me ? spinelli : of a professional nature . maxie : oh , continue . sam : okay , go ahead . spinelli : it is your wish to be a private investigator , yes ? sam : yes . spinelli : well , the jackal shares a similar professional objective . maybe we should join forces and open an agency together . jason : you know , that 's a nice idea , spinelli , but i do n't really think you should rush into anything right -- spinelli : no need to fear . my career would never get in the way of my duties for stone cold . maxie : could we not talk about work right now ? this is supposed to be a party , and i would really like to make a toast to jason . so , everybody , get a drink . jason : no , i do n't really want to be toasted , i just -- maxie : that 's too bad . even though you are frustrating and unemotional , right now all i see you as is a guy who saved my best friend 's life , and i will be eternally grateful . to jason . spinelli : hear , hear . [ scene_break ] rebecca : okay , so you grew up on an island in greece with a family that sounds pretty bizarre , but you were kidding about the prince part , right ? nikolas : no , no , i 'm absolutely not kidding . rebecca : what , a real life prince with a title and everything ? nikolas : i 'm afraid so . rebecca : what is it ? nikolas : no , no , you really do n't want to know . rebecca : come on , tell me . nikolas : no . rebecca : why ? tell me . nikolas : no , you will laugh at me hysterically . rebecca : i 'm not going to laugh at you . nikolas : yes you will . all right . prince nikolas mikhail stavrosovich cassadine . see ? i told you . rebecca : oh , god -- no , i 'm sorry . it 's just , a real life prince . i thought you guys were just in fairytales -- and emily used to say that very thing . nikolas : yes , she did . but she 's gone and i need to accept that , right ? stop clinging to a memory ? i do n't know , maybe i should take a page out of your book , try a little independence of my own . [ scene_break ] sonny : you like me , do n't you ? that 's why -- you do n't ? [ sonny chuckles ] sonny : do you know something ? can i let you in on a little secret , huh ? come here . i 'll let you in on a little secret . i needed to get out of the house tonight . you know why ? because things got kind of heavy . i got a little close to my wife , maybe too close . anyway , nothing you want to hear . you know what ? i wanted to -- i wanted to come here . you know why i wanted to come here ? because i wanted to see the essence of life , what 's simple . and i thought of you because you 're just a little baby , no damage done , the purity of life . you make me remember what 's important in life . do you know what i mean ? that two people can come together , love each other , a miracle of what 's light somehow . i used to have that , you know . a wife , two terrific sons who -- we all lived under the same house . and something happened to my son and his life was destroyed . robin : hey , what 's this ? sonny : patrick got called for surgery and i volunteered to baby - sit emma . robin : oh , well , do n't take this the wrong way , but patrick gives new meaning to the word `` paranoid dad . `` sonny : why else would he leave a precious child with a known gangster with a target for violence ? robin : well , that 's not how i see you . sonny : well , it does n't make it any less true . you know , everything 's settled or i would n't have come here otherwise . robin : right . you explained all this to patrick ? sonny : yeah , but he 's caught between two things -- either trust me to baby - sit emma or let one of his patients die . robin : right , well , he made the right call . did n't he , little girl ? sonny : do you want to take her ? robin : no , no , it 's okay . she 's fine where she is . sonny : are you sure ? robin : yeah . sonny : so -- robin : you did n't say why you came here to begin with . sonny : well , i got a lot of things on my mind , and i ended up at your front door . it 's not going to be a habit , trust me . robin : do n't worry . you 're always welcome here . sonny : thanks . are you all right ? robin : yeah , sometimes i just -- i do n't know how i -- sonny : what ? robin : well , i saw my uncle mac earlier , and he said that the feds caught anthony zacchara and took him to prison . sonny : okay . robin : so please tell me that now you can finally end your marriage to that awful woman . [ scene_break ] claudia : all of a sudden our father is like a paragon of hope and inspiration for you , johnny ? when did that happen ? come on . johnny : claudia , our old man may be crazy , but he is good at reading people . and if he 's right and you think you got some sort of genuine future with sonny corinthos -- claudia : oh , come on . do n't be ridiculous . johnny : then why would you stay in this house ? you are trapped in a marriage that was part of a business deal that our father made . he sold you off to sonny like you 're a cow , and sonny bought you because neither of them thought better of you than that . claudia : that 's true . that 's how it was in the beginning , but things have changed , john . johnny : what , because you 're sleeping together ? claudia : i told you . sex is the least of it . johnny : claudia , are you willing to bet your life with this marriage ? because that 's what it 's going to come down to . claudia : look , i think i need to catch you up on some of the things that happened tonight so that you have a better understanding . daddy grabbed me and then he demanded $ 20 million so he could leave town . he strapped me to a bomb , bound me , gagged me , left me to die on a rooftop . and sonny not only paid the ransom , he dismantled the bomb . i told him to leave , john . i said , you know , `` you need to get out of here , you 're going to be blown into a million pieces yourself , `` and he would n't not leave . he did not leave . so if it were n't for sonny , you would be looking for pieces of your dead sister all over port charles right now . johnny : okay , then i 'm grateful . and maybe sonny has feelings for you on some level , but do n't you get it ? that 's just going to make it worse when sonny finds out that you were the one who is responsible for putting his little boy in a coma . are you staying here , claudia , because you think this is the best you can do ? claudia : i 'm staying because i like it here , because i like being mrs. sonny corinthos . i like having my opinions sought and valued , and sonny wants me here . johnny : you 're willing to bet everything on the hope that sonny 's going to have feelings for you and that those feelings are going to protect you when he finds out what you 're hiding from him . that kind of delusion is going to get you killed . [ scene_break ] sam : this is killing you . i can see that . jason : look at him . he thinks his problems are behind him . he thinks i saved him . sam : you did , jason . if you had n't given up anthony , he would be in federal custody . jason : yeah , but i 'm back where i started . spinelli : attention , please . though it is common knowledge that stone cold treats his body like a temple , the jackal remembers when dear dearly missed emily used to gift him with slices of a particular chocolate cake . and so in that memory and for this auspicious occasion , the jackal braved the original monikered cook at the quartermaine residence and proudly presents -- maxie : ta - da ! jason : i do n't really know what to say . maxie : as if anyone could tell a difference . spinelli : shh . jason : this is great , spinelli . i really do appreciate the gesture , but i 'm going to have to cut this short , okay ? you and i need to talk alone right now . maxie : jason , are you serious ? i just helped spinelli put this whole party together for you . you 're going to kick me out ? sam : you know what ? if it means anything , i think he 's kicking both of us out , so -- spinelli : and i understand the exuberance of victory must not overshadow my duties . sam : yep , let 's go . maxie : fine , fine . but the next celebration i participate in for you will be your memorial service . [ jason exhales ] jason : okay , there 's something you really need to know about . the situation with the feds is out of control . spinelli : well , i stand ready to assist in any way . jason : even though you were scared , you hung tough with a prison sentence hanging over your head , and you may have to do that again . spinelli : oh , i understand what this is . this is the mano - a - mano i 've been waiting for . stone cold has finally accepted me -- well , not necessarily as an equal , but a worthy potential ascendant to the hierarchy . i sit before you humble and eager to take my place . [ scene_break ] rebecca : so how does a prince from greece end up in port charles ? were you looking for your mother ? nikolas : no , not really . my little sister lulu , who was a baby at the time , needed a bone marrow transplant , and i was the only match . my uncle , who was completely in love with my mother , wanted to move here . i wanted to stay in greece . rebecca : you must have felt like a fish out of water . nikolas : yeah , that 's putting it mildly . rebecca : i ca n't even imagine . nikolas : and high school ? forget about that . that was a trip . i only lasted a semester there . rebecca : well , you 've assimilated . nikolas : it was a process , i 'll say that . rebecca : well done . i should probably go and clean up , or i 'm going to be here all night . and , no , do n't need you to help me . [ nikolas laughs ] nikolas : okay , good idea . thank you . alexis : it looks like you are making some progress with rebecca . nikolas : well , let 's just say things got a little soupy , made things easier . alexis : i hope what i just found out does n't ruin your good mood . [ scene_break ] sonny : all right , i 'm not divorcing claudia . robin : all right , i hear you , but i really -- i do n't understand . because if anthony zacchara is in prison , then why do you have to stay with claudia ? sonny : there are advantages to having claudia as my wife . robin : what kind of advantages ? sonny : okay , um , she revealed something that was very important to me , all right ? she 's smart . she 's good to have in my corner . and i know that she 's damaged , but i get that part of her . and like i said , she 's been robin : is she blackmailing you ? sonny : no , it 's my choice to stay married . robin : okay , then what about kate ? what happened to how much you loved her ? sonny : my life happened . she does n't deserve the chaos . and i 'm not blaming her , because ultimately , i could n't give her what she needed . and it was my fault to let it go as long as it did . indulging in fantasies that can never be , is dangerous in this business . robin : so your solution was to shut down . sonny : just the opposite . i 'm opening up myself to what i deserve . robin : and kate , she does n't have anything to say about it ? sonny : she had a lot to say about it . i 'm just abiding by her wishes . [ robin sighs ] robin : okay , all right . okay , so no more sonny and kate , but that does n't mean that you have to stay with claudia . [ sonny exhales ] sonny : you know what ? the problem that 's happening right now is that you 're not hearing me because you do n't like what i 'm saying . robin : no , i 'm hearing . i just do n't understand it . sonny : well , it 's hard to explain . claudia gets me . she understands the business . i do n't have to justify my actions , and i do n't have to , you know , worry about shattering her expectations . robin : so it 's just about convenience because you do n't want to have to explain things ? sonny : it 's about having a marriage that might actually last given the parameters of my life . [ robin sighs ] robin : sonny , i really love you and i want you to be happy . and i can almost guarantee you that you 're not going to be happy with claudia . [ scene_break ] jason : we have a situation -- spinelli : okay , i 'll do anything in my power to mitigate it , but first , if you 'll indulge me , i have something i 'd like to say . jason : okay . spinelli : i am so grateful to you , well , for more things than i could -- it would take hours to go through them all . but suffice it to say i 'm grateful for my life -- not just the life that was saved from the prospect of years of federal imprisonment , but the life that i 've grown into here at casa de stone cold . the jackal is finally of some use . i have friends and the woman of my dreams , the fatally lovely maximista . she actually enjoys spending time with me . it 's a life i could never have envisioned for myself when i left my dear granny 's home and ventured forth into the world . jason : i guess , you 're welcome . but you know what ? i really need to say this , so -- spinelli : i 'm sorry . the jackal fell prey to his tendency to ramble , but i am focused . what do you require of me ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm as intrigued with this rebecca as anyone else . i mean , her resemblance to emily is unbelievable , which is why i skipped the martini and went right to do some research . [ nikolas scoffs ] nikolas : so you accuse me of going overboard , and you 're running a background check ? alexis : uh - uh - uh . you do as i say , not as i do , mister . and do n't pretend that you were n't going to turn around and do the exact same thing . nikolas : well , what did you find out ? alexis : i 'm not sure that you 're going to see this as a positive . nikolas : just tell me . alexis : i looked through her birth records . they 're all in order . her parents are william and nancy shaw from opal city , washington , and there is no evidence whatsoever that she was adopted . i know you 're looking for some cosmic connection here . and aside from the physical coincidence , she 's not tied or related to emily in any way . [ scene_break ] [ knock at door ] sam : all right , how did it go with spinelli ? jason : it did n't go . he was just so happy and grateful for everything , i could n't bring myself to say anything . how am i supposed to tell him my new assignment is to bring sonny down and he 's the leverage ? sam : you 're going to have to tell him eventually . jason : i understand . i 'm just going to let him enjoy tonight . sam : okay , and after that ? jason : well , like i told you , i 'm going to protect him . the only way i can do that is to get him out of the country . sam : jason , you know if you do that , agent rayner is going to arrest you for aiding and abetting . jason : i do n't care . i owe spinelli a second chance at life . [ scene_break ] sonny : what did johnny want , back into the organization ? claudia : not a chance . my brother 's always been looking for a way out . he wants a real life . imagine that . [ sonny scoffs ] sonny : well , it 's kind of hard to do . this business has a way of sticking to you . claudia : tell me about it . sonny : so what did he want ? claudia : my brother ? sonny : yeah . claudia : he wants me to leave you . he thinks that you 'll end up hating me , hurting me . sonny : yeah ? claudia : yes , and he thinks i 'm a fool to believe that we could have any kind of a good life together . sonny : well , there 's a lot of that going around . i just got back from robin 's , right ? you all right ? claudia : yeah . sonny : and she basically has no faith in us . claudia : surprise , surprise . so what do we do ? i mean , do we listen to the naysayers and get out while we still can ? sonny : i 'm not asking you to go , but you know , it 's up to you . claudia : no , i 'm going to stay and try . sonny : you 're going to stay and try ? claudia : yeah . sonny : then we stay and try .

[ lulu chuckles ] [ scene_break ] lucky : you called me over here to tell me that you do n't want me at the hospital during the test ? elizabeth : not you , not nikolas . it 's a very straightforward test . kelly will take a dna sample from where the uterus is attached to the placenta and ship it off to the lab . that 's it . there 's no reason for anybody to be hovering around . lucky : it 's not about the mechanics . it 's about being a support . elizabeth : well , maybe it 's time i be my own support . lucky : whatever you think is best . i just hope you 're not trying to punish yourself in some way . elizabeth : honestly , i 'm not a very good judge of my own motives right now . all i can do is listen to my heart . and my heart is telling me that it will make me even more mental than i already am to have you and nikolas sweating the results in the hallway . i know it 's not logical . i know you may not understand it . i just really ca n't have you there . lucky : okay . that 's fair enough . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] sonny : this is one of the hardest things i 've ever had to do . i mean , it 's like trying to find a way -- not to justify it , to get it straight in my head , 'cause in the moment , i did n't . i shot a rat . to me , that 's what i was doing . and then , he turns out to be my son . and i go over and over and over it , trying to figure out a way maybe how i could have done it differently , how i could have taken a different turn . there was no other way . robin : sonny , you could have not pulled the trigger . sonny : but that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . you do n't -- it 's not an option . i know it 's difficult for somebody on the outside to understand . dante worked his way into my organization to ruin me , to send me to prison for the rest of my life , to take my kids from me . he gained my trust and threw it away like it was nothing . and that 's just the personal end of it . he worked in my business for a while , and he was a cop . and he knew the organization from the inside out , and there are rules about those kind of things . he knew that . still , very difficult for me to pull the trigger because i started to like him even then . but like i said , there are rules . robin : see , this is the part of you that i try to pretend that does n't exist . 'cause part of you , the things that are these rules and that you get to decide when someone lives or dies , patrick calls it selective blindness . sonny : well , you know what ? if patrick disagrees with me , that 's fine . and if you want to put distance between us to respect his feelings , i 'm okay with that . robin : you would be ? sonny : i 'd miss you , but i do n't want to cause you any more trouble .

[ scene_break ] lucky : well , they took my dna . luke : oh , that 's right . today is elizabeth 's paternity test . how are the nerves ? lucky : steady as she goes . luke : good . lucky : the odds favor nikolas . i 'm sure he 's just waiting for the go - ahead to nail down all the legalities . luke : yeah , i 'm sure he is . this all has to do with that bogus royal bloodline the cassadines try to foist off on everybody . he just wants to protect his coagulating bloodline , his lineage . lucky : yeah . so far , i have n't had the best of luck with lineage . but cam and jake are still my sons , and they always will be , no matter what nikolas and elizabeth decide to do . luke : and what about the rest ? lucky : what 's the rest ? luke : what if the kid is yours ? [ scene_break ] dante : what are you doing ? lulu : letting in some air . dante : i do n't want you to go , especially since my mother asked you . olivia : i actually -- she did n't have to ask me , because luckily , we 're on the same page when it comes to your welfare . lulu : look , i know that you 're pissed at olivia , but she makes a point that yes , i happen to agree with -- your recovery is the most important thing . dante : ma , thank you for the casserole . i do n't suppose we 'd be lucky enough that we could be done with this ? olivia : do n't be rude . [ dante sighs ] [ lulu scoffs ] dante : look , look . come here . i can get rid of her . lulu : no . you and your mom need face time , even if it 's hostile . dante : no . you know what ? i need to be with you , like , in the worst way , okay ? i 'm dealing with , like , physical pain here . lulu : what ? really ? well , god . that makes me think that maybe we should n't spend so much time together . dante : what ? no ! i mean , it 's little -- i mean , it 's not little . i mean -- do n't get the wrong idea . i can handle it . i mean , the pain . lulu : you can -- right . well , okay . well , less time together is an option that maybe you should consider if you 're in so much pain . dante : no . no . that is unacceptable , okay ? we 've already spent way too much -- lulu : okay , stop . i will call you later . [ dante grunts ] [ dante sighs ] olivia : that is one hell of a girl you got there . dante : ma , what are you even doing here ? olivia : what are you talking about ? someone 's got to make sure you 're not laying in bed starving to death . i think you 'd be happy to have a home - cooked meal . dante : there 's this awesome thing . it 's called a phone . you use it instead of barging in on people who do n't want to see you in the first place . olivia : who 's talking about barging into people 's apartment ? and by the looks of things , if i would have called first , i would have been a little bit too late . dante : oh , you 're not really going to bring up my sex life , are you ? olivia : honey , you are recovering from major surgery . now , you might not be willing to acknowledge that inconvenient fact . luckily , lulu is , so i can be happy that you 're not going to kill yourself -- dante : ma , i ca n't do this . like -- i ca n't do this with you . olivia : do what ? dante : confide in you about the girl that i love over casserole ! i do n't trust you ! olivia : oh . i guess i had n't really broken it down like that . dante : look , i 'm not deliberately trying to take shots at you or hurt you . i 'm just stating my truth . that connection i used to have with you , that us against the world , it 's gone . i do n't even know if it was real in the first place , because you 're just not who i thought you were .

[ sighs ] kiefer : you want me to leave ? kristina : do n't you dare . sonny : leave . kristina : kiefer and i are in the middle of something , and you 're the one who 's not invited . so i do n't have anything to say to you . so why do n't you just keep going ? [ scene_break ] lucky : the baby 's not going to be mine , dad . it 's just not . the odds heavily favor nikolas . luke : well , i hope you 're right . but to not even consider the alternative is just closing your eyes and acting stupid . do n't do that . think ahead . prepare the contingencies . come on . you 've got to consider the worst outcome in order to prepare yourself for the situation . lucky : are you afraid that if this baby turns out to be mine , i 'm going to get carried away or something and ask elizabeth to marry me again ? because that 's not going to happen . luke : it 's been a dream of yours for a long time . lucky : yeah , well , the thing with dreams -- unless you 're dead , you always wake up . and that 's what happened . i woke up . the elizabeth that i fell in love with no longer exists . she grew up , changed , and so did i. i 'm no longer good for her , and she 's poison for me . and i finally faced that . and i told her , dad -- not in anger , not lashing out or trying to hurt her , just stating fact . there 's no future for me and elizabeth . and you know what ? she got it . she understood . so even if this baby turns out to be mine , you do n't have to worry . elizabeth and i will not be together .

[ scene_break ] helena : it 's lovely , is n't it ? there 's more where that came from . all you have to do is follow my instructions to the letter . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know we 're feeling our way together , and that 's fine . but there are some things that are non - negotiable . your attitude , for one . you can feel the way you feel about me . you can be angry with me . but i am your father , and i will not allow you to disrespect me or challenge me . kristina : i 'm sorry . would you like to sit down ? come on , dad . kiefer stays .

[ scene_break ] robin : if you could have this turn out any way you wanted -- all transgressions forgiven , all wounds magically healed -- what would that look like ? elizabeth : not that it has a prayer of happening . robin : no , but it helps to know what you really want deep down in your heart parts . elizabeth : my heart of hearts ? what i want is the ideal of a family , a mommy and daddy and kids under one roof functioning as a healthy unit . i actually had that with lucky , and i made him believe in it , too , until , you know , i was with nikolas , and i took it all away . he wants to marry me . robin : nikolas ? elizabeth : he wants to be a real hands - on dad if this baby is his . it 's not unreasonable , right ? except i ca n't do it . just another way i 'm going to hurt him . robin : elizabeth , one of the reasons you had this breakdown is because you were so worried about everyone else . you did n't take care of yourself . now it 's time to take care of you . elizabeth : what i need is to be alone . robin : sounds good . elizabeth : yeah , except for one thing -- pattern , habit , or destiny , i have loved and depended on lucky for so long , i do n't know how to stop .

'cause your voice is getting a little -- a little high , a little shaky . ava : you 're grasping at straws . aj : really ?

[ scene_break ] jake : so , do you have a message from your boss or are you just concerned about my well - being ? officer runyon : commissioner sloane has n't heard from you . he was wondering why you would n't want the charges against you dropped . [ scene_break ] ava : i know you 're taking a risk , silas . you could end up in pentonville as well . silas : take this . we just need to be careful . ava : i promise . i wo n't do anything to mess this up . silas : you were n't so sure yesterday . ava : yeah , i 'm sorry about that , about how i reacted , how i overreacted . it 's just -- it 's very hard knowing that my daughters are suffering without me . and then , when i saw carly on television holding my baby , it nearly killed me . i hate that sonny and michael are fighting over her . although i suppose i should be grateful to michael , right ? he did save my life . silas : there is that . ava : the night avery was born , sonny was gon na kill me . i saw it in his eyes . he had the gun pointed right at me , and he had his finger on the trigger . and i heard the shot . and i remember thinking , `` i 'm dying right now , and i ca n't even feel it . `` and then i realized it was n't sonny 's gun that fired . it was michael 's , because michael was there to kill sonny . if only he 'd gone through with it . silas : well , i think there 's been more than enough violence already . ava : i 'm just saying , if sonny were dead and michael was in prison for his murder , then they would n't be fighting over my daughter . and avery would be with kiki , where she belongs , instead of being dragged into some cour -- courtroom . my poor little girl . silas : hey . whoever ends up with avery is gon na take really good care of her . ava : she should n't be going through this . silas : you know , she 's just a little one . she does n't know what 's going on right now . ava : kiki does . she believes i 'm dead . we were so close , silas , the two of us . when she was growing up , we were like this little family of two . you know , and i know there are a lot of mothers that wish that they were their daughter 's best friend , but kiki and i ... we really were . and now she 's grown from that funny , [ laughs ] curious little girl to this smart , beautiful young woman that she is today . i 'm just so proud of her , silas . it breaks my heart to think of her grieving . [ scene_break ] delia : you want a little shot of something to help steady your nerves ? kiki : no . i 'm fine , thanks . [ sighs ] delia : does this look okay ? 'cause i was kind of worried . 'cause she 's got a group of really classy friends , and i do n't want her to be embarrassed . kiki : no . it looks great . you put in so much effort . delia : too little too late . i was n't much of a mother . kiki : my mom would have really appreciated you doing all this for her . and , you know , she loved that picture . delia : god , look at her . she was so beautiful . kiki : yeah . growing up , i always knew my mom was intelligent and sophisticated and fun . delia : you know , i called some of her gallery friends from way back when , and they 're a little judgy about her murder rap and prison escape . kiki : well , that 's their problem . delia : that 's what i say . the hell with them . and some people will use any excuse . so , is that why morgan is a no - show ? is that why he 's not here ? kiki : no . no , he 'll be here . he just -- he had something important to take care of first . delia : what could be more important than ava 's memorial ? [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki was planning on having the memorial in port charles at ava 's gallery , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . morgan : but then her grandmother called last - minute and said that the memorial was today at ryan 's bar in the city . sonny : kind of short notice , do n't you think ? morgan : yeah . it was too late to talk her out of it . sonny : uh - huh . morgan : okay , because delia had already sent out all the invitations to ava 's friends in the art world and stuff . kiki 's there right now . sonny : uh - huh . morgan : and she does n't even know that i 'm here asking about avery . sonny : it 's nice what you 're doing for kiki , but i do n't -- you know , i do n't think it 's gon na work out . morgan : dad , please . it 'll be one night , okay ? sonny : uh - huh . morgan : it 'll just be -- and -- and julian made a good point . he said that it would be nice for -- for avery , when she grows up , to know that , you know , she was at her mom 's memorial . and that would give them , you know -- that would give her some kind of connection , you know ? and -- and delia -- delia , ava 's mom , has n't even met avery yet , so ... sonny : ava 's mom is -- is a curse . morgan : i agree with you , but it would just be this once , okay ? i know you did not care about ava , but ava -- she 's dead , and i was wondering if you would just let ava have this . [ scene_break ] julian : ava was my sister , so that baby is my niece . michael : yeah . avery has a lot of relatives . julian : she does indeed . so , uh , michael , why -- why should you be the one who gets custody ? michael : because i can provide avery with a safe and stable home where she 'll be loved and cared for , not in the line of fire . julian : you know what ? i do n't care if you and sonny tear each other apart , but i care about my niece . so i owe it to my sister to make sure she 's okay . michael : yeah , and here 's what i owe my sister -- a childhood without bulletproof glass and bodyguards where she wo n't risk becoming collateral damage and not come within five minutes of getting firebombed like danny did when someone torched alexis ' house to send you a message . so -- so if you want to show your concern for your niece , i suggest you and your business stay far away from her . julian : she 's a jerome , okay ? and i 'm gon na be looking out for her . michael : and so am i . and i 'm gon na keep her safe from thugs like you and sonny . [ scene_break ] nikolas : sam just showed up . it 's your mom . sam : oh , hey . tell her that danny 's at the quartermaine 's . she 's been so busy i have n't been able to tell her that i was coming to see you . alexis : oh , not to worry . i 'm just glad she 's there . nikolas : yes , me , too . you -- you just concentrate on -- on your work , okay ? i 'll keep you posted . alexis : all right . if you need me , i 'm on the first plane . nikolas : yes , i know . all right . thank you . hi . sam : hi . nikolas : i 'm glad you 're here . sam : thank you . it 's good to see you . nikolas : you , too . sam : monica asked me if -- she wanted me to have danny spend the night , and i - i - i jumped on it , of course . nikolas : i - i 'm glad you did . sam : you were there for me when danny was sick . i just -- i want to be there for you , too . i mean , we 're family . we have to stick together , you know ? nikolas : [ remembers ] jake is jason morgan ? he 's alive ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : i understand that you want to honor ava . that 's fine . but dragging avery all the way to new york -- what if they come down with a decision that she 's not -- morgan : no , no . you 're gon na win . you 're gon na win . sonny : i hope so . but yesterday , the judge had a social worker come by to see if we 're taking care of her . morgan : well , that 's ridiculous . sonny : it is ridiculous , but that 's -- that 's what they do . we -- we passed with flying colors , right ? but you know what ? she does n't have to be in court today . morgan : please . sonny : i just do n't feel comf -- morgan : please let me take her . please . please . okay ? for kiki 's sake . you remember when you came over ? kiki handed her right over to you . there was no problem . she could have fought you for custody , but she decided not to do that . sonny : all right . uh , i 'm gon na have the nanny get avery 's things together , and you just -- morgan : thank you . sonny : okay . morgan : thank you . sonny : come by and pick her up at the house , okay ? morgan : all right . kiki 's really gon na -- she 's gon na be blown away by this . thank you , dad . and you know what ? i want you to know i 'm on your side . i hope , by the end of the day , you have custody of avery , not michael .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : we 've got a treatment plan . um , the doctors are optimistic . not to say that it wo n't take some work to get him back , but everyone here has been terrific , and i do n't just mean medically , because you know spencer can be a bit of a challenge . sam : oh , come on . he 's -- he 's challenging in a good way . nikolas : [ chuckles ] yeah , a very good way . sam : hey , speaking of , i am so sorry i missed his birthday , but i did not forget a present . it 's a -- thank you . jake was going into surgery , and i wanted to be with him . i really wanted to make sure that he was gon na be okay . [ scene_break ] carly : nothing you did was your fault . the police should drop the charges . and if the commissioner is willing , then -- jake : sloane 's offer is n't as straightforward as it sounds . trust me . carly : what does that mean ? jake : i ca n't really tell you . carly : fine . then i 'll speculate . you could be charged with everything from taking sam hostage to killing everyone on the haunted star , or the police commissioner could make it go away . but you 're reluctant to accept his help . jake : i would n't exactly call it help . carly : there 's strings attached . what does the commissioner want you to do ? jake : i ca n't talk about it . carly : you do n't trust me ? jake : i trust you , carly . carly : are you sure ? because i am the one that turned you in . jake : carly , i trust you , and i told you that i appreciated that , and i meant it , but i - i owe you . let 's just say i owe you . carly : then just tell me what 's going on with you , all right ? and let me help . jake : you 've helped me enough . carly : because you 're my friend , and i 'm yours and that 's what friends do . and i hate that i left you at the police station when you needed me , so would you just please let me come through for you now ? jake : you are relentless . you do n't stop . you do n't stop . carly : i am . i am . when it comes to my friends , yes , i am . jake : okay , just -- [ stammers ] [ clears throat ] in exchange for convincing scott baldwin to let me walk , sloane wants me to work for him .

[ scene_break ] morgan : did you become a doctor overnight ? oh , no . you did n't . okay , then how do you know how sick i am , michael ? michael : because i lived it with dad . so did you . you ca n't see yourself clearly right now , morgan , but i can . i - i know what this looks like . it 's the same thing dad went through . you are completely out of control . morgan : i was out of control . i was out of control . okay ? i screwed up . i went off the meds for a little bit , because i was having side effects that were affecting my life badly , okay ? and , yes . you know what ? i thought i could handle being off them and things got a little sideways , but they never got -- it never got as bad as dad - level crap . michael : it 's exactly like dad . do you remember what me , you , and dante went through when dad lost connie ? w - w - we saw him at the haunted star with a loaded gun . he was gon na put a bullet in himself . how is -- okay . how is that any different from you standing on -- on the ledge of a building ? morgan : because it was just talk . it was just talk . i was just feeling badly . it was n't like i was actually gon na do anything . michael : morgan ... you thought kiki was up there with you . you had completely lost touch with reality . morgan : okay , i 'm back on my meds , all right ? i 'm never gon na go off them again . i will take a vow . i will sign my name in blood or whatever you and all the other babysitters would like me to do . but you know what ? everything 's gon na be fine . i 'm gon na get out of here soon . i 'm gon na go back home . everything 's gon na go back to normal . michael : you have no idea what you 're up against , do you ? morgan , i was with you in the police station when you -- when you admitted to taking dad 's gun and trying to kill dixon . you could be charged with attempted murder . [ scene_break ] carly : morgan ca n't go to prison . that ca n't happen . sonny : we 're not letting that happen , diane . carly : i mean , michael barely survived prison . he barely survived , sonny . morgan wo n't . he 's sensitive . he 's like a little boy . sonny : carly . carly : this ca n't happen . diane : carly . carly , i will do everything in my considerable power to make sure that morgan does not go to prison . sonny : you brought it up , though . diane : yes . okay . because i would be remiss in my obligations to you and my client if i did n't lay out the entire range of possible outcomes . look , sonny . the da scored an incredible victory by bringing down those gun runners , but it was tainted when kiki jerome was shot . and because of that alone , the district attorney may throw the book at morgan . sonny : [ scoffs ] carly : why ? ! how does that help ? ! diane : because he needs a scapegoat . instead of it being a clean bust , detective west and kiki were shot , and an entire church full of people were taken hostage . the da may want to hang the blame for that on morgan 's interference . and , you 'll forgive me , he sports the corinthos last name . a jailed corinthos is a big get for a man whose profession is prosecuting alleged criminals . carly : i do n't understand . for years , you have been able to keep jason and sonny out of prison , and they were guilty . you ca n't do the same for my son when he 's innocent ? ! diane : i did n't say that . morgan has an out . it 's just that you two have to be willing to put yourselves on the line to make it happen . [ scene_break ] sam : hi . jason : can i come in ? sam : yeah . jason : i 'm walking over to the hospital . any chance you and danny want to join me ? sam : um ... i was thinking that danny and i would just head home . jason : head home ? why ? sam : yeah , well , jake is being discharged , and i think it would probably be better if danny saw him once he was settled at home . jason : that 's true , but is that really the reason why you want to go home ? sam : i do n't want to get in elizabeth 's way , and i do n't want to make things difficult between the two of you . jason : hey , look . look . we 're all adults here . okay ? and we 're all connected through our kids . that 's not gon na change . so the sooner that we all get used to how things are , the better it is for everyone . sam : are you sure ? jason : yes . i 'm sure . now get ready . let 's go . grab the kid . okay ? sam : okay . [ scene_break ] franco : what do you think ? she 's a beauty , right ? jake : that 's for me ? ! franco : well , yeah . i mean , it 's not for anyone else . although , probably gon na be a while before you can ride it , right ? nurse donna : oh , well , maybe not ride , but he can check it out . franco : really ? i mean , i do n't want to be the kind of person that breaks all the rules . nurse donna : oh , well , the only rule at shriners hospitals is that we let kids feel like kids . let them get back to their lives as soon as possible , hmm ? franco : that 's a great idea . ring that bell . [ bell dings ] franco : they really know how to treat you right here , huh ? [ bell dings ] jake : it 's cool . [ scene_break ] nina : listen , franco does n't know what he wants . if he could just step outside of himself and see what i see ... he 's an incredible person . he 's caring and he 's smart and he has such a heart , and any , any child would be lucky to call him daddy -- any child . he 's just afraid . he does n't think he 'll be a good parent . maxie : yeah , but all parents feel that way at some point . nina : i know ! all parents feel that way . i mean , it 's not like i do n't have my own fears , but the only difference between franco and me is that i think that we can rise to the challenge . you know , i just think that we have so much more to give the world than just , you know , fashion magazines and finger painting . maxie : but if he does n't feel that way and you guys are n't united on the subject , then ... nina : does n't matter . i can talk him into it . we 're rock solid . we 're doing really well . who am i kidding . really , it does n't even matter if i can talk franco into it . the point is moot ... if there 's no adoption agency in the world who 'll give us a baby . maxie : there are other ways to get a baby . [ scene_break ] morgan : you know , if you came here to put me in a better mood , you 're doing a terrible job at it . michael : i 'm just trying to open your eyes . look , you know i 've been to prison . i do n't want that for you , but ... the chances of you skating on this are not great . morgan : skating ? you think that 's what i 'm worried about ? is getting away with it ? i - i -- kiki 's in an icu room . she may never be able to wake up again ... because of me . michael : i know you 're worried about kiki . so am i . morgan : michael , all i want to do is be there with her . i want to -- i want to -- i want to be next to her . i want to hold her hand . when she wakes up i just want to tell her i 'm sorry . i mean , she 's there because of me . michael : i know . i want you to have that chance , okay ? but you 're not gon na be able to if you 're in prison . morgan : mom and dad are n't gon na let that happen . i 'm not a -- i 'm not a criminal . i 'm just a -- i 'm a kid with a condition that did n't take his meds , and i 'm back on track now , and there 's no way i 'm gon na go to prison , so just get the thought out of your head . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do carly and i have to do , diane , to keep morgan out of prison ? diane : simply put -- you have to assume legal responsibility for him . sonny : he 's a grown man , diane . diane : with a well - documented medical illness . he requires treatment , not incarceration . that is the case that i will put to da hornsby . sonny : mm - hmm . diane : who , if he has a brain in his head , will see the wisdom in avoiding a court battle where i will brand him a heartless bureaucrat bent on incarcerating a vulnerable young man who suffers from a terrible , incapacitating mental illness . i will angle for a plea deal which will rule out prison time in favor of probation and mandated outpatient treatment -- overseen by his doctor , of course , where you two come in -- you assume legal guardianship . make sure morgan holds up his end of the deal . sonny : we can do that . diane : of course , this is all contingent on morgan saying yes . he is , after all , my client , but i just stopped by here as a courtesy to you two , to let you know that this deal ca n't happen if you two are n't on board . sonny : no question . no jail time . this -- this is the best outcome you could 've come up with . you -- you think you can pull it off , though , diane ? diane : please . walk in the park . sonny : [ chuckling ] walk in the park . diane : i will be in touch with the two of you right after i 've spoken to morgan . sonny : ah , yeah . thank you , diane . [ laughs ] [ door opens , closes ] sonny : what i tell you , carly ? it 's all gon na work out just fine . carly : it wo n't . i ca n't go along with this . [ scene_break ] morgan : i get why you 're worried , right ? michael : morgan -- morgan : i mean , i made a royal mess of things . i did . i thought i could -- i thought i could go off the meds . i thought that i could stay balanced and handle all that on my own , but obviously i can not . and i know what happens now . i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na do that again . you know , i made a mistake . i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na continue to be the family embarrassment . michael : nobody 's embarrassed by you . morgan : no , no , no , no . i - i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na make you proud . i 'm gon na make dante , mom , dad , kiki -- i 'm gon na make all you proud . i promise .

[ scene_break ] nina : what other way is there to get a baby ? i mean , you know , legally , of course . maxie : okay , well , you do n't have to go through an adoption agency . you have a ton of money . you just hire one of those fancy lawyers and they can do all the legwork for you , set you up a private adoption , so you do n't have to jump through all those agency hoops , and you just pony up the cash . nina : the last time i hired a lawyer , i ended up in shadybrook . maxie : okay , not all attorneys are unethical and awful like your ex - husband . nina : he 's one of a kind , is n't he ? i do n't think i like the idea of buying a baby . you know ? what if the birth mother changes her mind and wants to take it back ? i could never deal with that . maxie : that could happen with any adoption , nina . look , why -- why do n't you and franco just have a baby of your own ? that 's the simplest option . nina : oh . i ca n't . um ... when i came out of my coma , my cousin told me that i could n't have my own child . maxie : wait , what cousin ? not britt westbourne . nina : yeah , i saw her at gh . maxie : and you just took her word for it ? nina : well , she 's an ob . she did tests . maxie : yeah , um , an ob that stole lulu and dante 's embryo and planted it in herself , and then gave birth to pull one over on patrick . i would n't trust her to pull a splinter out , let alone give me medical advice . nina : wait a second . you think she could be wrong ? maxie : wrong or just plain lying . nina : why would she do that to me ? stole ... lulu 's ... embryo . do yourself and franco a favor and just pause on the adoption idea for a second . okay ? and get yourself a second opinion . nina : oh , my gosh . you 're right . you 're right . like always , you 're right . oh , my god . maybe franco and i have a family in us yet . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what 's going on ? jake : hi , mom . franco : how you doing ? elizabeth : hey . yeah , i 'm -- i 'm fine . uh , but i - i - i asked a question . [ chuckles ] jake : franco and nurse donna showed me my new bike . elizabeth : and this is an awesome bike . where did it come from ? jake : franco brought it for me . elizabeth : oh . wow . that 's , um ... that 's very thoughtful of you . would that not have occurred to me to bring a bicycle into the hospital . franco : right ? you 'd think . but nurse donna told me that this is shriners hospitals is for children and that the only rule is that the kids who are patients get to still be kids . did i get that right ? nurse donna : exactly . franco : uh - huh . elizabeth : [ chuckling ] oh . donna , would you mind taking jake back to his room ? we 're actually getting ready to go home . nurse donna : no problem . elizabeth : thank you . i 'll be in there in a minute , okay , babe ? so this morning , we found out that jake 's bike is a lost cause . how did you know to bring this here ? franco : uh , jake facetimed me . yeah . he seemed a little down . he was talking about never being able to ride a bike again . elizabeth : h - he never mentioned that to me . franco : he mentioned it to me , so ... i hopped in the car , brought jake some wheels . look , i - i hope i did n't overstep any bounds . i was just , you know , i wanted to see a smile on the kid 's face . elizabeth : [ sighs ] it 's really sweet of you . franco : you seem a little grumpy for a mom who 's about to take her kid home from the hospital . elizabeth : i 'm perfectly fine . i just told jason that -- that we 'd wait for him here and , truthfully , i just want to go . franco : jason 's not here ? really ? what could he possibly be doing that would be more important than being here for you ? well , that explains it . [ scene_break ] maxie : the latest issue of crimson is locked and the messenger is bringing it to you now . yes . a million copies . no . we do not want the whole thing green . why would you make the whole thing green ? yeah , we got a million copies last time , but ending up with an entirely green magazine was an accident . we did not do it on purpose , and we spun it pretty well . we do n't want the whole thing green ! well , i do n't care what you were told . do not make anything green . do you hear me ? good . how the hell did he get that idea ?

[ chuckles ] jason : hey , buddy . see you in a bit . elizabeth : thank you . jason : see ya . franco : that was nice , what you said before about us being friends . elizabeth : well , i was referring to you and jake . franco : i do n't think you were . elizabeth : mm . i was . jason : you ready to go ? elizabeth : i just need to grab our bags . jason : okay . [ bell dinging ] franco : what about the bike ? [ dinging stops ] jason : it 's your call , but ... elizabeth : jake loves the bike . i think we should keep it . [ scene_break ] diane : and this way , you will avoid prison and be able to get back on your feet from the comfort of your parents ' home . so what do you think ? morgan : how realistic is this , though ? because michael keeps making it seem like i 'm -- i 'm in pretty deep . diane : well , yes . there are a few hurdles i need to clear . i need to convince the district attorney that this outcome not only serves justice but is also in the best interest of public safety . and , of course , i have to get dr. maddox on board , but that 's -- that 's just a formality . this is eminently doable , morgan . morgan : what -- what about my parents ? are they cool with this ? diane : i spoke to them just this morning . the only question remains is are you cool with it ? morgan : um ... i mean , probation instead of jail time . yeah , i 'm cool with it . diane : excellent . i 'm glad you 're cool with it . all right . now if you both will excuse me , i have some work to do . goodbye , morgan . morgan : bye . diane : michael . morgan : thank you .

'cause i do n't ! i refuse !

[ sighs ] when i was in the water , i was trying to swim . the water was so cold and rough , i could n't keep my head above the water . i could feel myself starting to sink . and then it was so weird -- i was n't cold anymore . it was like i was drifting . and then , all of a sudden , i could see all of the happiest times with me and rocco and dante -- everything that i almost lost . maxie : but you did n't , and that is thanks to dante . lulu : and when he asked me to come home , i wanted to say `` yes . `` maxie : then why did n't you ? lulu : [ sighs ] because i am afraid of history repeating itself . i 'm afraid to get hurt again . maxie : so you remember what made you so reluctant to marry dante in the first place ? lulu : um , yes . i was afraid that he would die in the line of duty . maxie : okay . what helped you get over that so you could marry the man that you loved ? lulu : i closed my eyes , and i took a leap of faith . maxie : oh . well , why do n't you do that again ? [ scene_break ] morgan : you know , doc , since you 're in here , just -- just -- why do n't you just help me out of these right now , you know ? andré : morgan , you have a long way to go before you 're back on track . morgan : what are you talking -- i 'm back on my meds , diane 's getting me out of here . everything 's looking up ! andré : allow the medication to take effect , then we 'll see how you 're doing . we may have to adjust the dosage . you are n't quite yourself just yet . morgan : what does that mean ? what does that -- who am i , then ? am i the guy that -- that faced down the gun runners to protect my dad 's territory ? am i that guy ? am i the guy that caught kiki when she got shot 'cause she was trying to save me ? am i the guy that was up on the roof about to jump ? who is morgan corinthos ? what the hell does that question mean , even ? andré : those incidents occurred while you were in the grips of this disease . morgan : and now you are gon na play the role of god , dr. maddox . you are gon na come up with your little drug cocktail , and you 're gon na give it to me , and i 'm gon na have the personality that everyone agrees with . andré : no . it does n't work that way , morgan . the drugs are a means to deal with the illness , so that you can have control over your life , instead of the illness having control over you . morgan : damn drugs . they mess me up . i do n't like the drugs ! andré : morgan , tell me exactly why you stopped taking your meds . morgan : you know why ! [ scene_break ] ava : [ sighs ] julian : i 'm so sorry . ava : i do n't know what to do . i love her so much , and i do n't know how to help her . julian : what can i do for you ? ava : know what you can do ? you can tell me that everything 's gon na be okay . julian : kiki 's gon na come back to us . ava : thank you .

[ scene_break ] carly : you 're claustrophobic because your stepfather used to lock in a closet before he beat you . and that 's horrible . but it 's specific to you . morgan did n't grow up like that . he had a family who loved him . he has a father who loves him . sonny : a loving father would n't put his son in an institution . carly : sonny , you 're projecting how you feel onto morgan . it horrifies you to think of him in a facility . we have to put our own feelings aside to do what 's best for our son . sonny : i 'm not gon na do it ! [ scene_break ] andré : you said your medication interfered with your ability to perform sexually . morgan : what i said is that i tried to have sex with kiki , and absolutely nothing happened . i wanted her more than ever . my body did n't work . do n't you think you should warn me about something like that ? andré : if you had called me , i would 've helped you . i would 've reconfigured your meds . i would 've told you that the side effects do eventually get easier to manage . morgan : okay . andré : morgan , we have to be a team . otherwise , you 're going to end up like this again . you understand ? morgan : yes ! i 'm starting to . i understand that going off the meds made everything worse . i get it . i get it . that 's why i tried to have sex with that girl -- to prove to myself i could still do it . and then kiki walked in , she got hurt , and still she came to the pier looking for me . andré : well , it seems very clear that kiki cares very much for you . morgan : she 's got to wake up . she 's got to walk again , and she 's got to have the best life . that 's the only way to make things right . [ scene_break ] julian : why in the hell did you give avery to sonny ? ava : do n't make it sound so permanent . it 's not like i relinquished custody . my sitter had a family emergency . she had to leave town , and i ca n't look after avery while i 'm focused on kiki . julian : well , you should 've called me . ava : it just happened so fast . and you know what ? the world has not ended . it 's true that i loathe sonny , but he does love avery . julian : you actually considering sharing custody with sonny ? ava : i 'm not considering anything beyond helping kiki recover . and you know , she 'd be the first person to tell me to let avery stay at sonny 's . julian : well , i got to tell you , it sounds like you 're bargaining with god , trying to rack up points and make sure kiki pulls through . ava : would n't you do the same thing ? if it were sam in there ? if it were lucas or leo in there ? [ sighs ] julian : yeah . i 'd do the same . [ sniffles ] there 's no hell worse than being afraid for your child . i 'm just glad that leo was n't at the wedding . ava : thank god . julian : [ sighs ] speaking of wedding , dixon made it very clear that he was at that church looking for you . so , you want to fill me in on your involvement with the arms syndicate ? [ scene_break ] sonny : carly , i was on the roof ... ... with morgan . i said to him , i 'm gon na bring him home . i 'm gon na help him . i 'm gon na take care of him , like you took care of me -- you and jason . you were my guardian angel . i got to do -- i got to do this for morgan . i ca n't -- carly : so , let 's say you do this . and you bring him home . sonny : right ? carly : lives here for a while , and all of a sudden , he 's feeling great , and he wants to leave one day . what are you gon na do ? because he 's an adult . sonny : right . carly : you ca n't watch him every minute . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : [ sighs ] it 's diane . she says -- i guess she talked to the da . she wants to go to morgan 's room . carly : what if the da did n't cooperate , and he wants to put morgan in prison ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : dante still loves you , and i know you still love him . i 've watched that love get tested over and over again . let 's be honest . i 'm one of the people who tested it . you guys have been through hell together . now you have a decision to make , lulu . you can either choose to be miserable and alone , or you can decide to let go of the anger and ... trust dante again . you have done it before . lulu : maxie , i do n't know -- maxie : no . stop . you almost died that night , lulu . dante almost died trying to save you . but both of you guys are still here . and i believe that means something . you just have to open not only your eyes but your heart to it . lulu : what if dante cheats on me again ? what if we do n't get even close to being normal ? maxie : `` what ifs `` are gon na drive you crazy . and if we all played that game , none of us would ever get together . take a leap of faith , lulu . go home . lulu : at least the post office would know where to find me . maxie : [ laughs ] lulu : i 'm serious . this is , like , ridiculous . so much mail . what is this ? maxie : what is it ? lulu : it is the ... the finalized divorce decree . my marriage is over .

[ scene_break ] julian : so , how 'd you end up in bed with the arms syndicate ? ava : against my will . in the beginning , i had no idea what kind of merchandise we were moving , and by the time i found out , it was too late to get out of it . julian : you know the shipment was the same night as the wedding ? ava : yeah . and to be honest , i was relieved that i had an excuse to not be on the pier . when dixon showed up at that church looking for me , i was as blindsided as anybody . i swear to you , julian . i had no idea that he was gon na come seeking me out . julian : so what happens now ? you gon na be charged as an accessory ? ava : i have full immunity . paul hornsby was working undercover , and i was working with him the whole time . [ scene_break ] morgan : i want my day in court . diane : okay . morgan : i want my day in court . diane : okay ! but you need to understand the ramifications of that choice . carly : you shot a gun with intent to kill . if you are found guilty , you will be sent to prison . morgan : the guy was a bad guy ! he was a gun smuggler . he was trying to land a shipment in my dad 's territory . that is what i will tell the jury . i will tell them that i was protecting my dad 's territory . i was protecting myself , too . they guy jumped at me , and then i fired . okay ? i 'll tell the court that , they 'll see i 'm a good guy , they 'll let me go -- done ! diane : morgan , it 's not always that easy . morgan : yes ! it is ! it is that easy ! it 's that easy . i will tell them that i 'm sorry . i - i will apologize . they 'll see that i - i just want to get better . they 'll let me walk . i 'll walk . i 'll get better . i can handle the bipolar ! i got -- i got andré . i got my man , andré -- sonny : morgan , stop ! stop ! no more .

[ sighs ] lulu : who ? maxie : when nathan was in the hospital on pain meds , he said that he loved her . i - i questioned him about it , and he went into this huge , elaborate lie about how claudette was a french poodle he had when he was a kid . that 's not the part that scares me , because not only is claudette not a dog , she was obviously someone important to him , and what if she 's out there somewhere , wanting another chance with nathan ? or , even worse , what if she 's still a part of his life now ? lulu : what was it you just said to me about the `` what ifs `` ? what was your advice ? maxie : refresh my memory . lulu : you told me to take a leap of faith -- to let go and let myself love dante . to move forward without holding onto the past . maxie : great . you really were listening to me . thank you . lulu : yes . i was . so why do n't you take your own advice . maxie : why do n't you take my advice and let me know how it goes . lulu : oh . you first .

[ scoffs ] because of the danger . and now , you know , we get a little bit of distance , okay ? [ sighs , sniffles ] sonny : that 's morgan . what about you ? carly : what do you mean ? sonny : the gun shipment , the lying ... morgan in a mental hospital , and everything that you 've been through . we really have n't had the discussion , have we ? what happens next ? you gon na leave me ?

[ scene_break ] skye : i do not like meeting you here . people know i frequent this place . coleman : hey , i 'm doing you a favor . skye : how ? uh , a cola with lemon , please . coleman : check out the table behind you . jax : that 's good . skye : well , you 're more sadistic than i thought . do you actually enjoy rubbing my face in the fact that my ex - husband is going out with yet another gorgeous creature ? [ scene_break ] coleman : that lady your ex is with is an a - list call girl . [ scene_break ] jason : anyone here ? sonny : no , they 're all out . let 's hear it . this shooter in town for me ? jason : so far we ca n't get confirmation . i mean , we know this guy 's in town , but no one even knows what he looks like . sonny : who paid the hit man ? jason : it could be anyone -- tagliati , one of the other families -- sonny : faith rosco ? jason : yes , it could be faith , but this guy 's expensive . unless ned is going to bankroll him -- sonny : ned ashton wants me to rot in hell , but he does n't want anything to do with murder . faith 's grandmother just died , all right ? her husband made a lot of money once . maybe she held on to it . have benny check that out . jason : ok . sonny : what about the description of the hit man ? jason : we have nothing on this guy except for his name -- sam . and he works out of los angeles , he gets paid by wire transfer . nobody has seen this guy 's face . [ scene_break ] sonny : so you 're telling me there 's nothing i can do about this , that i have to run and wait and pray that they come to kill me instead of my pregnant wife ? [ scene_break ] sam : corinthos is nearly impossible to get to . the deal 's off . as per the contract , half the fee will be refunded , the other half will cover compensation for this waste of my time . faith : i thought you were supposed to be the best . sam : i am . that 's why i know this job is n't worth it to me . you 've already attacked sonny once before . his people are guarding him 24/7 . it 's going to take a whole lot of extra planning . faith : then i 'll pay for extra planning . how much ? sam : what you 've wired to my account -- i 'll need another identical deposit . faith : why so much , i mean , for one person ? killing sonny corinthos should n't cost double your regular rate . [ scene_break ] sam : if you want sonny corinthos eliminated , it 's going to cost you . [ scene_break ] carly : and what do you think that you are doing ? elizabeth : the dishwasher dropped a tray of glasses , so we 're short . bobbie told me to come down here and borrow some of yours . carly : well , next time ask me before you borrow them . elizabeth : carly ? carly ? are you ok ? elizabeth : you do n't look so good . are you sick ? carly : i 'm fine . just lost my balance . why do n't you just go upstairs ? take those glasses , ok , unless you 've broken them all when you dropped them . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why do i bother ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : got more glasses , not that carly was gracious about lending them . courtney : well , she probably would 've appreciated being asked first . elizabeth : you know , you 're even starting to sound like her . maybe you 'd better go check on your new best friend because she almost took a header down the stairs . carly : hey . courtney : are you ok ? elizabeth just told me that you nearly fell . carly : i 'm fine . you did n't say anything , did you ? courtney : no , no , no , no . but are you ? i mean , have you found out yet ? carly : um -- uh , no , thanks . courtney : herbal tea . it 's supposed to be good for an inner ear infection , so why do n't i go get you some , ok ? elizabeth : oh , i 'll get it . courtney : do you have a fever ? carly : it 's morning sickness . courtney : you have taken a pregnancy test ? carly : no , i called my doctor , but her office called to reschedule . i 'm taking that as a sign . courtney : carly , you need to find out . i mean , if you are , you got to start taking vitamins and whatever -- carly : i know , i know , i know . but the timing is not great , and i think a part of me just does n't want to know just yet . courtney : did you tell sonny ? carly : yeah , i think he feels the same way . look , it 's what we want most -- really , we do -- but it 's also what we 're most afraid of . courtney : why ? carly : well , anything can go wrong . you know , one slip , i could fall down the stairs -- courtney : hey , so ? this time you 'll be so careful , you 'll look ridiculous . carly : something 's going on in sonny 's business right now . that 's why johnny 's here . and if i 'm pregnant , sonny is going to worry like crazy . courtney : hey , you know what -- for all you know , you could have the stomach flu , right ? carly : right , right . courtney : you do n't need to worry , unless maybe it is a baby , and then the sooner you find out , the sooner you can stop eating pizza and start drinking milk . carly : do you know that you sound just like your brother ? courtney : oh , great . great , there 's another positive , yeah . carly : it is . courtney : when all other attempts at communication fail , sonny and i can sit around and discuss your diet . carly : all right , you are right . i need to go take a pregnancy test and find out if this is for sure . but in the meantime , do n't say anything to anyone -- courtney : oh , i wo n't , i wo n't . carly : anyone , not even my mother . courtney : not a word , i promise . carly : thanks . so -- forget it . i got to go to work . courtney : you know , carly -- she 's just not feeling good . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : carly 's pregnant , is n't she ? [ scene_break ] jason : carly 's pregnant ? sonny : she had a dizzy spell , you know , but she has n't taken a pregnancy test yet . you know how much i want that . jason : yeah . sonny : you know , i want another child with carly more than anything , but the day i find out she could be pregnant , a hit man shows up in town . the timing could not be worse . probably with my name on the contract . we have to shut this guy down . otherwise , i got to send carly and michael away . jason : i know , but she 's going to fight you on this . [ scene_break ] sonny : well , if she fights me , she fights me . i mean , you know what -- she 'll be angry but she 'll be alive , my baby and michael will be alive . i have to protect the people i love . [ scene_break ] faith : i admit there are complications , but why should i pay more just because there 's some extra muscle around ? sam : corinthos has a very capable lieutenant who , out of loyalty , will spend the rest of his life tracking me down . which means , ultimately , i 'll have to take care of him , too , and i want to be paid for morgan in advance . faith : all right . i 'll get the extra money . sam : good . now , half of it has to be in my account , as i specified . i would like -- faith : i know , i know -- half in the account now , half in escrow . it will be . as it happens , my grandmother just passed away . sam : my condolences . [ scene_break ] faith : she left behind a substantial estate , and i am her sole beneficiary . i can afford to pay whatever it takes to get rid of sonny . [ scene_break ] jax : well , yeah , i happen to agree with you on that . you know , i 've always believed that that was true . skye : how do you know she 's a hooker ? coleman : she 's not a hooker , she 's a call girl . cheryl 's very expensive . skye : then how do you know her ? coleman : she worked at my club when she was in college , and a couple of my dancers still stay in touch with her . skye : oh , there 's no way jax would be going out with a hooker . somebody must be setting him up . i 'm going to take care of this right now . coleman : hey , whoa -- hey -- jax : right . skye : hello . cheryl : hi . jax : this is -- this is my ex - wife , skye quartermaine . this is -- skye : not who she says she is . cheryl 's been lying to you . she 's a call girl . [ scene_break ] jax : i know . [ scene_break ] faith : have you been going through my private papers ? ned : well , i know you 're too smart to leave anything where i might find them . faith : huh , you 're absolutely right . [ knock on door ] faith : well , hold that thought . who is it ? man : brett levinton . i 'm catherine flynn 's attorney . faith : i 'll be right with you . ahem . my grandmother was a very wealthy woman . from now on , i wo n't be needing your money . so you 'd better be nice to me or i wo n't have any reason to keep you around . mr. levinton . hey . mr. levinton : brett . faith : how are you ? now , i told your secretary a call would do . you did n't need to come over . brett : i wanted to offer my condolences in person . your grandmother was a very special lady . quite a character . faith : thank you . ned : ned ashton . brett : oh , brett levinton . ned : nice to meet you . [ scene_break ] faith : um , unfortunately , i still have some business matters to attend to . so at the risk of seeming pragmatic , how much am i inheriting ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so why is it such a big secret ? courtney : what secret ? i mean , as far as i can see , you are either making this up or you 're jumping to conclusions , kind of like you did when you told sonny that jason and i were eloping . elizabeth : i made a logical assumption about carly . she did n't trip on the stairs , she had a dizzy spell . she was so nauseous , she was practically green , and then she refused coffee when that 's all she ever orders . courtney : is this what you do now , elizabeth , now that you ca n't play push- and - pull with jason ? you spy on my family and then make up stories about our personal lives ? elizabeth : come on , spare me the loyal sister act . you know you ca n't stand sonny , especially after he ordered jason to break up with you . courtney : jason and i did n't break up . elizabeth : oh , so you 're still seeing each other secretly ? courtney : look , i did n't push him away . i did n't play games with him , walking out of his life , vowing to never come back . jason and i love each other . you know , it 's sad how some people shut themselves off from that feeling . you know , they just walk around feeling envious and frustrated . they 're really not that much fun to be around . my shift is over . bye . elizabeth : i am so sick of her . i ca n't even ask a simple question without her spinning it into some evil plot . ric : well , what did you ask ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i just asked if carly 's pregnant . excuse me . [ scene_break ] sonny : i probably should 've said no when carly brought up wanting another child , but i did n't because i love her . and now she and the baby are in danger . do you see how it escalates ? i should 've said no for carly 's own good , just like you said no and broke up with courtney for her own good . jason : sonny , you want a baby , too . i know you . and i know it scares you because you 're afraid you 're going to lose it , but that 's no reason not to do something . every day you walk out of this penthouse and take a chance for money and for power . why not take a chance and have this baby that you and carly already love ? sonny : the difference is whose life is at risk . i 'm not in fear for my life . i do n't want to lose carly or another child . jason : then we need to find this guy and eliminate him before -- carly : hey . hey . jason , i 'm really glad you 're here . i 'm supposed to be meeting leticia and michael at the park so leticia could have the rest of the day off . do you think you could go for me instead ? sonny and i have something very important to discuss , and i do n't want michael walking in on it . you could play with him at the park or you could take him to the arcade or something like that . jason : you know i do n't mind , but i 'm doing a job right now . sonny : you know what , i 'm able to handle -- handle it from here . i 'd feel a lot better if michael was with you . you 'd be doing us a big favor . jason : ok . carly : thank you . jason : yeah . carly : leticia said they 'd be near the swings . he knows ? sonny : well , he 's your best friend . [ scene_break ] carly : courtney knows , too . i got a pregnancy test . i thought that we could find out if i 'm pregnant together . [ scene_break ] skye : have you lost your mind ? jax : i do n't think so . skye : look , i know that what happened with brenda really hurt -- jax : skye obviously feels the need to lecture me , so i 'll be up in a minute . cheryl : no problem . skye : brokenhearted , self - destructive , acting out -- believe me , i understand all of those things -- i do -- and i even understand sleeping with inappropriate strangers , but , jax , come on , look at you . you do n't need to hire your dates . [ scene_break ] jax : i want to hire my dates . it 's a simple business transaction , cash for pleasure . there 's no emotion involved . [ scene_break ] faith : my grandmother left me a ring ? this is it ? what about all the money ? brett : she gave it to a foundation for underprivileged children . faith : she told me that i was her only relative and that she would be giving everything to me . brett : well , mrs. flynn changed her mind . faith : and cut me out entirely ? brett : well , no , she gave you that ring , which she valued -- faith : when exactly did she cut me out ? brett : uh , shortly after new year 's . faith : why ? brett : well , your grandmother said she 'd had occasion to reassess your grandfather 's life , the damage that was done to and by the late marco flynn . catherine had come to believe that your grandfather 's money was cursed , that it destroyed her husband , cost her her only child , that it was blood money and you 'd be better off without it . faith : i will contest the will . brett : well , you can try , but it 's ironclad . your grandmother thought you 'd be scarred by this money . she was trying to protect you . ned : ok . i believe faith 's concerns have been answered . mr. levinton , thank you for coming over and explaining all this . brett : i 'm so sorry , again , about your loss . uh , my card , in case she has any other questions . ned : thank you . ahem . seems your grandmother 's death is n't working to your advantage as well as you 'd hoped . i guess you need my money after all . which means you have to continue thinking of ways to be nice to me . [ scene_break ] faith : well , i have n't got much use for nice . but i 'm willing to be bad for you . [ scene_break ] courtney : ok , rosie , come on , lay down . lay down . [ courtney laughs ] courtney : ok . come on , you 're supposed to make me look good for michael . here , shake . michael : jason ! jason : hey . michael : aunt courtney and i are training rosie . do you want to help ? jason : yeah , in a second . you know , i came to stay with you so leticia could have her afternoon off . i 'll get michael home . leticia : all right , i 'll be back by 8 : 00 . jason : max . you know what , you can take off . just call in and see if benny needs you . max : all right . michael : we can still play ? we can still play ? we 'll get to play , right ? courtney : you know , rosie and i , we were just walking and we ran into -- into leticia and michael and max . i can take her and go if you want . michael : no , i 'm supposed to teach rosie how to roll over , remember ? jason : all right , all right , you can work with rosie on training , ok ? just stay where i can see you . michael : ok . come on , rosie . come on , girl . courtney : you know , rosie 's the first dog i ever got to keep . i found a dog once , hanging around the schoolyard , and my mom would n't let me keep her . she sent her to the pound . and one time we were outside a grocery store and these people had a litter of puppies , and i took one home and i kept it in my room for , like , three days before my mom found it . and she took that one to the pound , too . jason : why did n't your mom want you to have a dog ? courtney : well , i guess she just figured it was too much work . i love my mom , you know , but sometimes she gets caught up in what she wants and how she 's going to get it . she does n't make allowances for the good things that do n't cost money , you know ? like the way it feels when you open a door and someone 's waiting for you . [ rosie barks ] jason : rosie pays more attention to michael than she ever did to me . courtney : i think carly and sonny are going to have to get michael a dog . jason : it 's up to sonny , i guess , huh ? courtney : yeah . i guess everything 's up to sonny , right ? who gets to be happy , who does n't ? who gets to be with the person they love -- jason : courtney , stop blaming sonny for my decision . i 'm doing what 's right for you . and i believe , in the end , it 's going to be right for me , too . courtney : well , as long as you 've got it figured out , could you -- could you explain to me how i 'm supposed to stop missing you ? how i 'm just supposed to stop thinking about you , how i 'm supposed to stop hating every minute we 're apart because i know in my heart that it does n't have to be this way ? have you figured out how to stop loving me , jason ? when you go home tonight , you wo n't miss me at all ? god , why -- why are you still doing this ? why do you have to hurt both of us ? [ scene_break ] michael : aunt courtney , what 's wrong ? why are you making her cry ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you want some coffee or something ? ric : yeah . yeah , sure . you know , that was quite a bomb you dropped about carly . what makes you think that she 's pregnant ? elizabeth : oh , she had a dizzy spell on her way down to the cellar , and then she ordered herbal tea instead of her usual caffeine fix . carly and courtney were doing a bunch of whispering . i do n't see what the big deal is . ric : well , do sonny and carly want to have more children ? elizabeth : well , that 's how they got together in the first place . carly and sonny could n't stand each other until he got her pregnant and forced her to move in with him . ric : really ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . ric : well , if -- if carly is pregnant and she wants to keep it a secret , then i 'm sure it 's because she wants to make sure it 's a viable pregnancy before she makes the announcement . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : yeah . yeah , you 're right . you tend to see carly in a more sympathetic light than i do . i forget sometimes that the two of you are close . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's time . carly : uh , let 's just give it one more minute just so we can be certain , ok ? sonny : no , i think , you know , we 've -- we 've waited longer than we need to . just check it out . then maybe all our worries are for nothing , you know ? carly : ok . carly : you sure ? ok . carly : it 's positive . sonny : you 're pregnant ? we 're having a baby ? carly : wow . sonny : you ok ? carly : yeah . i have waited for this moment , i have prayed for it , and now that it 's happened , i -- sonny : you do n't want the baby ? carly : of course i want the baby . i love it already . it 's just that -- look , i can see that you 're as scared as you are happy , sonny . i do n't know how to make this easier on you . sonny : no , i 'm just -- i 'm being an idiot , that 's all . you know how i am . i do n't want to -- i 'm afraid to have a child because i 'm afraid to lose it . but you 're pregnant . the baby 's -- the baby 's inside of you . this is not a wish or a hope , this is a fact , so i -- it 's my job to take care -- it 's my job to take care of you and the baby and make sure that this child is loved and wanted and welcome . and if i 'm afraid , it 's stupid , you know ? does n't matter , you know ? the only thing that matters is our baby and you . carly : right . sonny : feeling all right ? carly : yeah . i 'm fine . i got a little dizzy today , though , on the cellar stairs . sonny : ok , sit down . i want you to be careful . i want you to take it easy . lansing can run the club until the baby comes . carly : oh , no . ric is a lawyer , ok , he 's not a manager . it 's my place . i will run it . sonny : i -- i 'm just telling you , i want you to take it easy . carly : sonny , we need to make a deal right now . you can watch everything i eat , you can cook me amazing meals chock full of vegetables and nutrients and vitamins and all that stuff . you can watch how much i eat . you can not turn me into an invalid . i 'm not helpless . i 'm pregnant . ok ? is this a deal ? sonny : i 'm still going to watch you closely . i 'm just going make sure you do n't overtire , you know what i mean ? carly : i promise you i will be careful . sonny : one more condition . carly : what ? sonny : we do n't tell anybody yet . carly : well , courtney and jason already know . sonny : no , that 's fine , but i got -- ahem -- i got a current business situation that needs to be handled before we tell the whole world that we 're expecting another child . what 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't know , maybe i 'm just -- i think i 'm a little scared , too . you know , we 've waited so long for this baby . i just do n't want anything to go wrong . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so what 's your secret with carly ? ric : my secret ? elizabeth : how do i keep her from driving me crazy since her club is downstairs and she 's going to be in here all the time ? ric : look , you and i have obviously had vastly different experiences with carly . as far as i know , she 's fiercely loyal to sonny . she -- she 's obviously head - over - heels in love with him . it just -- it strikes me very strange that their marriage started out as a marriage of convenience . elizabeth : yeah , well , i do n't know all the details , but the short version is that she and jason were involved at one time . ric : right . elizabeth : and then she got angry , wound up in bed with sonny . jason was pretty hurt , so he left town for a while . then carly ends up pregnant . she and sonny move in together , they were going to get married , and then she had a fight with a.j . and fell down a flight of stairs and she miscarried . sonny was -- god , he was devastated . ric : i knew you and sonny were friends , but i did n't realize you were so close . elizabeth : well , i happened to be in the e.r . the night that she was brought in with her miscarriage . it was like sonny 's heart had been torn out . you know , that baby meant everything to him . ric : yeah , which would explain why she wants to keep the whole thing a secret . she wants to make sure everything 's ok . elizabeth : yeah , and i can respect that . if she and sonny are expecting , then they should be able to tell the world when they 're ready . [ scene_break ] ric : sure . i 'll just make sure that i 'm extra careful around carly on the stairs . [ scene_break ] courtney : it 's ok , michael . my eyes are just tearing up because of the wind . jason : courtney and i were just talking about something that made her sad . i 'm very sorry for that . i would never want to hurt courtney . she 's a very special person . she deserves to have a great life and to be happy , and i do n't want to take that away from her . michael : take back what you said . jason : buddy , i ca n't . michael : then promise never to say it again . courtney : michael , it 's ok , it 's ok . i know that jason would never deliberately be cruel or hurtful . i know that he 's only looking out for what 's best for me . i 'm just trusting that he 'll realize that what i want is what 's best for me and it 's the only thing that 'll make me happy . michael : i do n't understand . courtney : well , that 's probably good anyway because it 's all grown - up mushy stuff . listen , sweetie , i have to get going , so you 're going to have to say good - bye to rosie , ok ? come here , rosie ! come on , girl ! [ rosie barks ] courtney : come here . yeah . jason : put the leash on . courtney : yeah . she 's feisty , huh ? michael : yeah . courtney : all right , sweetie , i 'll see you soon , ok ? michael : bye , rosie . courtney : give me a kiss . michael : are n't you going to kiss jason , too ? jason : uh , you know what -- courtney : sure . i love you . come on , girl . come on . michael : bye , rosie . [ scene_break ] courtney : bye , michael . [ scene_break ] skye : i always thought you were so fearless . why would you choose to feel nothing ? jax : are n't you supposed to be enjoying this ? skye : suppose i should feel vindicated . i did tell you that brenda would cost you everything , and i was right . but believe it or not , jax , i never really wanted you to get hurt , and i -- i do n't want to see you give up on life . jax : as far as i 'm concerned , i 'm , you know , getting back into life . see , when i was in love , i made a lot of foolish choices . all the things that i regret doing was because i was in love . so i am better off without it . skye : but to give up on love -- that 's giving up on life . even i can see that . jax : you ever consider how much better off you would 've been if i 'd just left you in your shell ? i made you believe in love and it almost destroyed you . i kept telling you that love is the answer . well , i was wrong because it is n't . love is a rare , fleeting thing that leaves your mind clouded , and then it passes . and then it leaves your life in a mess . skye : ok . ok , i get it . you 're cynical now . you do n't give a damn . well , look at me -- i am the expert at playing jaded . i know all the tricks in the world to make yourself believe that you just do n't give a damn , but i 'm telling you this -- there is a place inside of you that , when you 're ready to acknowledge it , it means you 're devastated . jax : perhaps i 've just come to my senses . skye : all right . all right , jax , look , i 'm going to make you a deal here . i 'm going to make you an offer . when you are ready to admit that you 're devastated , that you just want someone to listen to you , i will be there . and , i mean , no strings attached . i wo n't give it any significance beyond the moment . it 'll just -- it 'll just be a nod to what we used to be . jax : look , i appreciate your offer , skye , but i 'm not going to take you up on it . i 'm fine the way i am . jax : now , if you 'll excuse me . skye : where 'd you go ? coleman : i was checking out this museum around the corner . i just do n't get modern art , man , i 'm telling you . waiter : vodka on the rocks ? and something for you ? coleman : no , thank you . so , what happened to jax ? skye : oh . he went upstairs to see that woman cheryl . coleman : i see . well , you know , if you 're done soaking up the ambiance , why do n't we slide on back to jake 's ? maybe we can -- i do n't know -- shoot a game of pool or something . skye : you know , they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions . personally , i think hell is a place you choose to go , and no one 's going to pull you out until you 're ready to leave . [ scene_break ] skye : let 's go find that pool table , shall we ?

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you 're right . you 're right . i 've been completely unfair to you . rebecca : glad you understand . nikolas : it 's just seeing you at the hospital , and finding out that was actually real and not some dream , it really affected me . rebecca : look , i ca n't imagine loving anyone as much as you loved emily . i suppose it 's wonderful , but it has nothing to do with me , and i 'm not going to let you drag me into someone else 's life . nikolas : no , i understand , i do . and i promise i wo n't follow you around anymore . i wo n't show up for any random dinners at kelly 's . but i will , however , continue to pick up my coffee there most mornings . it 's an old habit i do n't really feel is necessary to give up , but it really has nothing to do with you , so ... rebecca : fair enough . nikolas : okay . again , i apologize for any problems i may have caused for you . so , bye . rebecca : nikolas ? nikolas : yeah ? rebecca : i wish you well . nikolas : yeah , you , too . [ scene_break ] claudia : hey , michael . how you doing ? it 's me . i do n't know who keeps doing this . who keeps moving these photographs ? these are supposed to be like this . because your family should be looking at you at all times , right ? smiling at you . so when you wake up , you wo n't feel so alone , right ? your father misses you so much . and your mother , talk about a force of nature , you ca n't even imagine how much she loves you . i know i say this every week , michael , and i know that you 're probably getting sick of hearing me say it , but i am so sorry . [ scene_break ] max : so you 're saying there is something out there that could bring michael back to us , that could wake him up ? mrs. c. -- mrs. j. , that 's the greatest news i 've heard , ever . boss , is n't that great ? sonny : she did n't say anything about waking michael up . carly : okay , look , it 's a procedure , first of all . that 's it . and before he has the procedure , he has to have a test to see if he 's even a candidate , and if he is , this treatment may not even work for him . max : oh . sonny : okay , you know what ? set up the meeting . i do n't want you to talk about this with anyone . it 's my personal business , understand ? max : i understand . carly : max , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to get your hopes up . max : no , not at all . you know , i heard what i wanted to hear . but , you know , i wo n't stop believing . sonny : so what 's this all about ? carly : when i was doing research for the benefit , i found out that there is this procedure they have been experimenting with for people who have brain injuries . i do n't know , i 've been thinking about it a lot . i 'm not even sure if we should do it . sonny : it 's experimental , i take it ? carly : there 's been clinical cases in europe , but they have n't done it here . sonny : a drug ? is it a drug , is that what it is ? carly : it would require minor surgery that would be stimulating parts of the brain with electrical pulses . sonny : i do n't want a bunch of doctors shocking michael 's brain . carly : i know , okay ? it 's a lot more complicated than that , and a lot more subtle . sonny : right . carly : but they 're experimenting with ways to make the stimulation permanent to sort of wake up the brain . and there 's a chance -- granted , not a very good chance , that the brain could start functioning on its own . sonny : it just sounds pretty out there . carly : yeah , i know . that 's why i 've been holding off talking to you about it . sonny : did you talk to the doctors at the institution ? carly : yeah . i mean , they 're noncommittal . they 're not going to do anything without the parents ' permission . sonny : so what do you want me to do ? you want me to talk you into it , talk you out of it ? carly : well , first , you know , he has to have this test done . sonny : right . carly : and they can do it at the institute . but it 's basically surgery . they have to put needles in michael 's brain . sonny : is this what you want ? carly : well , i mean , they said the risk of complication and -- i mean , it 's less than 5 % . sonny : it 's great , the way you 're dealing with all this . with michael , with the benefit , meeting with people . and you know , hey , it 's amazing . it 's amazing that you can have hope . carly : you do n't think this procedure 's going to work , do you ? carly : i knew you would feel this way . that 's why i have n't said anything to you about it yet . sonny : well , i 'm just concerned about you , that 's all . i mean , you saw what max went through , and what you go through is on a level that you ca n't even imagine . carly : you have to have hope , you know , i do n't care if it 's false hope . i 'm okay with that . sonny : all right , look . if this procedure makes you feel better in any way , you go ahead and tell them that -- do what they need to do , send me the bill . carly : thank you . sonny : do n't have to thank me , because i 'm the reason michael 's tied to that bed . i know you want to tell me that everybody 's responsible , but that 's not true . michael went to that warehouse to meet me . so it 's my fault . carly : is n't it funny ? it 's funny that i get through this by having hope . even if i have to find it . and you get through this by feeling the exact opposite . sonny : there 's a little empty place inside me where michael used to be . the pain never goes away . and it should n't . but it 's nothing -- it 's nothing compared to what he goes through every day of his life . i ca n't wake him up . i ca n't get him -- carly : i know . i feel helpless , too , but i just ca n't give up , sonny . i ca n't do it . sonny : i know , you 're a fighter , you 've got to fight , right ? so if this thing gives you the ammunition to get more energy , whatever you need to do it , do it . carly : maybe i 'm looking for something i 'm never going to get . maybe michael 's going to have his procedure and nothing changes and i have to deal with the fact that my little boy is gone and he 's never coming back . or he has this procedure and i get the miracle that i 've been praying for .
