johnny : what 's with the mask ? lucky : you tell me . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you seem to be quite drawn to the mob prince . maxie : i just like how johnny is willing to stand up for what he believes in , no matter how dangerous sonny is . [ scene_break ] lucky : weirdest thing happened . caught this guy wearing a clinton mask , trying to break into the back door at bernie abrams ' office . [ kicks ] [ johnny winces ] lucky : i 'm sorry . i was impressed , to tell you the truth . most guys would have just run down the alley , but you ran up a fire escape , into the building , onto the roof . then you jumped off . johnny : you got the wrong guy . lucky : the only bad part was before you jumped off , you took a couple of potshots at me , which means i could arrest you for the attempted murder of a police officer . [ scene_break ] carly : how 'd a picture of franco get into the proofs from my daughter 's christening ? jason : he 's reminding me he 's still out there . carly : do you think he 's coming after josslyn ? jason : he 's comin ' after me . carly : `` what 's taking so long ? kill soon , or i 'll have to kill first `` ? [ scene_break ] sonny : got a call from the desk sergeant saying someone in the squad room wanted to see me . i thought might be you . dante : ha . that 's a good one . ca n't say you did n't warn me , thought , right ? claire : mr. corinthos , good to see you again . sonny : i 'm sorry . what 's your name ? claire : claire walsh , federal prosecutor . i 'm the woman who 's gon na send you to prison , with your son 's help , of course . [ scene_break ] carly : if franco wants to scare us , why did n't he use a picture of michael kneeling next to claudia 's body ? that would prove that we lied about everything that happened that night . jason : because this has nothing to do with michael . carly : then what 's it about ? jason : franco wants me to know that he 's watching me . carly : is josslyn safe ? is my little girl safe ? jason : yes . yes , she 's safe . this is about me , carly . carly : what does he want ? `` kill soon , or i 'll have to kill first . `` what is that ? jason : franco is trying to force me into making a mistake . carly : what kind of mistake ? jason : i do n't know what kind . a wrong call , a wrong choice , a wrong something , something that 's gon na hurt me or somebody that i love . carly : that 's not gon na happen . jason : oh , yeah ? you sure about that ? because i made a lot of mistakes the night claudia died . carly : we all did , jason . we all messed up , but guess what . a do - over is n't an option . we have to move forward . we have to figure out a way to get out of this mess , so where do we put our energy ? where do we focus ? do we focus on franco ? or do we focus on getting sonny acquitted ? jason : you 're right . we need to focus on sonny . this whole franco thing , it 's for me to handle . i 'm just gon na have to find him first . [ scene_break ] lucky : might want your mask back . johnny : this mask , i 've never seen it before in my life . lucky : you wore it when you tried to break into bernie abrams ' office . johnny : bernie who ? [ lucky kicks ] [ johnny winces ] johnny : damn it . lucky : so what happened to your leg , johnny ? johnny : i fell out of bed . [ scene_break ] maxie : now let me tell you why this troubles me . lucky and johnny are both basically awesome guys in their own cop , gangster sort of ways , but they both have serious self - destructive issues , so for both of them to be together ... [ cell phone rings ] maxie : in a bar , i mean , that would be like wearing maha chang to a cartullo show . nothing good could come of that . spinelli : stone cold requests an assist . maxie : spinelli , i 'm so proud of you . no matter how big and bad jason is , he could never function without your tech support . ooh ! um , i 'm so sorry . man : my pleasure , sweetness . spinelli : enough ! i challenge you , mano y mano ! man : mano e what ? maxie : he means , `` man , oh , man , no harm done . `` have a good day . are you trying to get yourself killed ? [ scene_break ] lucky : i realize that our former president is max giambetti 's disguise of choice , but why would max break into the office of sonny 's consigliore ? johnny : you 're gon na have to ask max giambetti . as you know , i 'm persona non grata with those guys . lucky : try to grasp this , johnny , 'cause it could save your life . the cops are not your enemy . sonny corinthos is . [ scene_break ] [ telephone rings ] diane : mason , petrovitch & miller . kate ! samples ? ooh . [ telephone rings ] diane : i 'll be there . ha ha . good - bye . mason , petrovitch & miller . i 've already told you i am taking the deposition next week . [ telephone rings ] diane : well , thank you . mason , petrovitch & miller . alexis : hello . diane , whispering : hi , max . oh . 7 : 00 sharp . and do n't forget to bring the -- [ telephone rings ] diane : the thing . alexis : eww . diane : no , not that thing . the one with the -- yes . yeah . [ telephone rings ] diane : see you later , honey . mason , petrovitch & miller . alexis : heavy . diane : just -- stan . [ whispering ] stanford mason . he 's the senior partner . alexis , whispering : who cares ? diane : well , we 're fine up here in port charles . how are you all in the city ? well , thank you . i love 8-figure settlements , too . diane : [ chuckles ] the new hire ? she 's settling in beautifully . i 'll talk to you soon , stan . come on . of course i have been meaning to hire a new secretary . i had to fire the last one . but who 's got time to interview ? and did i mention that my office is being renovated ? of course this one will be yours , but until that time , yours , mine . alexis : i 'd rather be roasted slowly over hot coals . [ scene_break ] claire : i got a few questions for you about your trip to puerto rico with the victim a few days prior to her death . sonny : call my lawyer . you should n't be workin ' . i heard you left the hospital too soon . dante : i do n't give a damn what you think . and you obviously set this whole thing up to see if i 'd really testify in front of the man who now turns out to be my father . claire : guilty as charged . does that sound familiar ? probably not , but it will soon . sonny : call my lawyer . claire : you know , invoking your great love for your children may have helped you to remain free on bail , but it 's not gon na help when the jury returns a guilty verdict . i 'll see you in court . sonny : she 's worried . that 's why she 's trying so hard to intimidate me . dante : no , but you do n't get intimidated , do you , sonny ? sonny : well , you know what ? i 'm not gon na let some snotty fed get to me . dante : you know , maybe you should be afraid , especially of the part where you go to prison for the rest of your life and i 'm the one who 's proud and honored to have put you there . [ scene_break ] lucky : do you even have a plan ? were you gon na steal the records from bernie 's office or just torch the place ? i 'm thinkin ' torch the place , 'cause that 'd be the quickest way to make a statement and cripple sonny 's organization , at least for a while . johnny : you ca n't arrest somebody for a crime that was never committed , detective . lucky : i 'm askin ' you to tone it down , johnny . nobody needs a mob war , especially now . a lot of innocent people could get hurt . and not so innocent , but you know what i mean . johnny : i 'm sorry . i ca n't help you . ethan : it 's a political discussion , is it ? johnny : yeah , somethin ' like that . lucky : if you wan na go on a suicide mission , i ca n't stop you , but i 'm not gon na let you take ethan along for the ride . [ scene_break ] jason : find out everything you can about this picture . spinelli : the darkly focused one ? jason : it showed up in josslyn 's christening album . so i need you to find out where the proof was made and anything that can tell me where franco is . there 's a file right there . spinelli : `` what 's taking so long ? kill someone or ... `` jason : do n't even worry about what 's written . just track . just give me something that i can track this guy down with , okay ? spinelli : what -- and then what ? will stone cold go after him and settle the grudge match once and for all ? and if so , might your loyal wingman accompany you into the fray ? jason : spinelli , i need you at the computer . i 'll take care of everything else . spinelli : understood . jason : you ca n't get revenge on franco for sleeping with maxie . spinelli : most aptly and succinctly put . you know , maximista remains drawn to darklings , like the mob prince , for instance , and i 'm merely her technical hero and her faithful companion in nonmarriage . jason : she loves you . spinelli : yeah , and i her with all my heart , but she does n't look at me like the way she looks at the mob prince or you or any other man of danger and intrigue , so if i could just prove myself . jason : no . you 're not goin ' after franco . it 's not gon na happen , so just put it out of your mind now . spinelli : consider it vanquished . the mere idea of the jackal charging recklessly into danger and darkness is obviously so -- jason : why do you even need danger and adventure ? spinelli , you 're smart . why do n't you create some computer software program or video game , one without me in it , about private investigation ? spinelli : okay , cheating spouses and tawdry extramarital affairs are hardly video game material . jason : i know , but you have a real imagination . you could probably end up makin ' some big money from this , and it 's gon na be a lot safer for you and for maxie . spinelli : stone cold is once again correct . perhaps even more correct than he realizes . [ scene_break ] alexis : what is this ? the last time i had my desk like this , i was in the third grade . i did n't like it then . i do n't like it now . i ca n't do it . nope . nope , nope . ca n't work that way . mm - mmm . diane : well , i 'm so glad we 're out of the third grade . look , i 'm sorry about the renovations . i certainly did n't plan to have them going on in the middle of sonny 's trial , but do you have any idea how hard it is to find a reliable contractor ? i mean , i went through several until finally max found one for me with one phone call , mr. d'agostino . he insisted on starting immediately . i have a feeling there was some sort of debt involved , but look , honey , it 's just gon na be for a few weeks . alexis : weeks ? diane : okay , months , but who 's counting ? we 're gon na have fun . alexis : i 'll work from home . diane : you will not work from home . get back here . we ca n't afford the endless driving back and forth , and you do n't want kristina anywhere near this trial , especially if it goes south . alexis : well , it 's not going to . is n't that why you asked me to help you ? was n't that the point ? diane : point taken . even though i somehow managed to defend sonny for several years without tumbling into bed with him and bearing his child . your assistance is deeply appreciated . alexis : all right , look here . if i 'm gon na sit across from you , not gon na be all this yakety - yakety all day long , okay ? you ca n't talk to me , and you ca n't do the sex whispering with max , 'cause it makes me feel like -- diane : i do not yakety - yakety , and i will keep the sex whispering down to a minimum . oh , honey , come on . look , this is going to be fun . think about it . 2 legal lionesses working face to face , bouncing ideas off one another , arguing points of law , working on our opening and closing statements , not to mention shopping online to rest our poor -- make that rich , fevered brains . [ chuckles ] alexis : i 'm not gon na be able to focus . diane : of course you 'll be able to focus . alexis , we will encourage each other . think about it . you and i sluggin ' it out in the trenches shoulder to shoulder , united as lawyers , as women , as friends . this could be our finest hour . we 'll be unstoppable . oh , come on . you wanted to do this just as much as i did . now , i 'm sorry about the office space , but i do not have time to find another one . i 'm in a 10-year lease . alexis , you 're one of my best friends , and you are the best lawyer i know , aside from me . i 'm sure we can make this work . alexis : i 'd be better off in the broom closet . diane : it 's all yours , my friend . [ alexis sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i ca n't believe i was thinking of turning my whole organization over to you . that was n't just undercover work on your part , although you 're great at what you do . dante : no , it 's not gon na work , okay ? the compliments , the double - team of lawyers . you 're gon na pay for what you did . sonny : i wanted to turn ... dante : everyone you love is gon na be better off without you , okay ? sonny : everything over to you because there was a mutual respect , a bond . you ca n't fake that , and i know you felt it . dante : okay , what are you doing ? you 're trying to guilt me into changing my testimony ? 'cause it 's not gon na happen . sonny : no . last thing i wan na do is get tried for murder , but at least , you know , it gives me a chance to prove to you that my love is unconditional . i do n't care if you 're a cop . dante : yeah ? well , you could 've fooled me . sonny : when you came after me , you did n't know who i was , and i reacted not knowing who you were . if i had known the truth , things would have been different . dante : not as far as i 'm concerned . sonny : okay , look , i ca n't give you the time we lost , the history , the things we share together -- dante : wow . you know , that 's deep , sonny . really , i 'm impressed . sonny : the only thing we can do right now is build on what we got . dante : which is nothing . if you 'll excuse me , i have to figure out how i 'm gon na dismantle your organization once you 're in prison . jason 's not gon na be an easy takedown . sonny : jason 's not gon na lay a hand against you . you 're under my protection . you know that . you always will be . dante : what is that ? i do n't even know what that is . is that a threat ? is it a bribe ? i mean , not that it matters , because there 's no way you 're gon na get me to keep my mouth shut . sonny : i 'm not tellin ' you not to testify against me . i 'm just sayin ' if you do ... dante : there is no if . sonny : no matter what you say -- dante : my testimony 's happening regardless . it is inevitable . sonny : no matter what you say on the stand , i 'm still your father . dante : not in any way that matters to me . you 're just a guy who got my mother pregnant and moved on to her cousin . sonny : you 're just as stubborn as i am . you are determined to shut me out of your life just like i am as determined to be part of your life . [ scene_break ] diane : mason , petrovitch & miller . please hold . all right , the kitchen is on the other side of the laundry room . now , i keep coffee , tea , champagne only . no food . alexis : oh . i like to eat while i 'm working , 'cause it saves time . diane : i never allow food in the office . the smell seems to linger . alexis : who is remodeling their office , you or me ? diane : me . alexis : and whose office are we in now ? diane : wha ... [ telephone rings ] diane : mason , petrovitch & miller . please hold . and another thing . i do n't like personal tchotchkes on the desk . that includes photos of children and boyfriends and ex - husbands . all right . fine . you and the smell of bologna are effectively driving me from the room . i will handle the calls on hold elsewhere . [ knock on door ] nikolas : hello . alexis : hey . nikolas : hey . came by to see your new office . alexis : oh . nikolas : this ca n't be it , right ? heh heh . alexis : this is it . heh . diane 's remodeling , so until that 's settled , we 're gon na be sharing . nikolas : oh . well , i suppose that could be efficient . alexis : or a nightmare . anyway , i 'm glad you came by . i was gon na call you . i went over to talk to elizabeth , and she was less than enthusiastic about you setting up a trust for her baby and possibly yours . [ scene_break ] jason : you found johnny . lucky : in jake 's with an injured leg , keepin ' his mouth shut . look , i ca n't prove that he was the one that shot at me and jumped off the building , and i ca n't file any kind of report against him , because he did n't actually break into bernie 's office . jason : lucky , i 've protected johnny as much as i can . i 'm gon na have to push back at some point . lucky : i know , but right now the only thing he 's interested in is disrupting your operation . he 's not out to kill anyone . jason : why are you defending this guy ? lucky : i 'm not . i 'm not defending him . i 'm just trying to understand the complications . if johnny zacchara gets away with challenging sonny , people will notice , okay ? i understand . they 'll get ideas , especially with the trial coming up , and johnny could start a war . so i understand that you ca n't look the other way forever , but i need you to stall for as long as you possibly can and not retaliate . jason : i ca n't make any promises . lucky : you got ta find a way , because it 's my family we 're talkin ' about now , my family . [ scene_break ] luke : i hear the arraignment got a little dicey . sonny : ah , just the feds showin ' up . there 's no reason to revoke my bail . luke : well , that 's good news . here . congratulations . sonny : thank you . luke : you know , a while ago , you asked me what it was like havin ' ethan just show up out of nowhere . sonny : yeah . luke : well , you know , it 's tricky , because sometimes you do n't know what to do , when to step in , and when to back off . sonny : well , i understand that . luke : well , the deal is , see , there was a time when we would n't even have to have this conversation , actually . it was a given that my kids would be safe with you and the organization , but the situation with joey limbo changed all that . i vouched for you , and no matter who shot first , he ended up dead , so things are different . johnny zacchara 's lookin ' to cause trouble for you . you know that . jason is concerned enough about it that he came to see me . sonny : he brought this to you ? luke : yeah . yeah , he 's concerned that ethan is getting involved . he thinks maybe johnny is pulling him in as a shield . [ sonny sighs ] sonny : i 'm sorry to hear that . luke : yeah . well , look . i 'm gon na do everything i can to keep the dodger out of your way , believe me , but what i need to know is that things are the way they used to be , that no matter what he does , what kind of trouble he gets into , he 's off - limits in terms of bullets , cement shoes , knee replacements . you name it . can we agree to that ? [ scene_break ] carly : ohh . we miss you . and morgan wants you to call him . he wants to go watch some spring training games or something . michael : well , tell him to come by , and we 'll figure out the schedule . you know , max is a big yankees fan , too . carly : okay . you okay ? michael : yeah . i mean , i have everything i want . graziella cleans up after me . there 's always great food around . and i can do anything i want except for leave . carly : who says you ca n't leave ? michael : i mean without max and milo . it 's like i 'm under house arrest . carly : it 's only till after the trial , honey , okay ? that 's it . michael : no . it is n't right . carly : well , we ca n't risk another confession . eventually the police are going to believe you . michael : would that be so terrible ? carly : it 'd ruin your life . i 'm sorry . i am so sorry about everything that has happened , but you know what ? we made our choices , and we ca n't change them . michael : it is n't fair for dad to have to go to prison for something that i did . carly : he 's not going to prison , even if he 's found guilty . michael : yeah , but then he 'll disappear , and morgan and i might not get to see him for years , and it 'll be completely my fault . carly : none of this is your fault . michael : i did it . i killed claudia . now everyone is gon na have to keep lying about it forever . dad 's gon na stand trial , and you 're gon na go to court and lie for him . which part of that is supposed to be good for me ? [ scene_break ] [ footsteps ] dante : oh , hey . i do n't like being set up , just so you know . claire : it 's my job to make sure that you 're gon na tell the truth on the stand . dante : and i 've already passed your tests a couple times . claire : mr. corinthos would already be in prison if you told the truth about how you got shot . dante : now , look , i stand by my statement . and , hey , if you were the prosecutor who gets sonny corinthos put away for good , then your career is made . you should be grateful for getting the opportunity . claire : what i 'm worried about is the evidence . we 've got the remnants of a burned - up shirt , we 've got an airhead fashionista who saw something in the dark in the middle of a rainstorm , and we have one hair supposedly that was found on the floor of a cabin which happened to burn down in the middle of the same rainstorm . dante : yeah , and you have my testimony about the way sonny was acting around when claudia disappeared , and you got a recording of him practically bragging that he killed her . claire : he does n't say the words , though , and he is surrounded by people who will say anything to protect him , like jason morgan and carly jacks . and if his lawyers put him on the stand , he was very compelling at the arraignment . i mean , who does n't love a man who loves his kids ? what juror will take him away from them ? dante : what , you really think we could lose this thing ? claire : i 'm saying that we need all the help we can get . and speaking of sonny 's kids , there 's one name that keeps coming up in the statements . dante : no , you leave michael corinthos out of it . claire : well , what ? you think that he saw the murder , right ? dante : yeah , and it 's tearin ' him apart . claire : and does he have a good relationship with his father ? dante : michael tries to impress his father all the time . he 's tryin ' to protect sonny whenever he gets a chance . he 's even confessed to killing claudia . claire : michael corinthos confessed to killing his stepmother ? when did that happen ? dante : look , mac did n't even take his statement , because the kid confesses to things that he does n't do all the time . he 's a mess . he 'd make a lousy witness . claire : not if he needs to talk , not if we trigger catharsis right there on the stand . dante : okay , you know this kid was in a coma for a year , right ? claire : because of claudia . that 's why sonny killed her . dante : yeah . he already blames himself for everything that 's happening , okay ? if he sends sonny to prison with his testimony , the kid will never recover . claire : well , it sounds like you 're protecting him . dante : well , do i want my little brother to be cross - examined by you ? no , i do n't . claire : my job is to win this case , and your job is to help me . now , if you ca n't do that , you better turn over your badge and then go work for your daddy . [ scene_break ] nikolas : elizabeth is n't thinking clearly right now , but she 'll come around . alexis : what if the baby 's lucky 's ? nikolas : well , we already had this discussion . i do n't care . i just wan na make sure that her children are taken care of . alexis : then obviously you 're the only cassadine that could feel guilt . nikolas : i 'll talk to her about it . alexis : i do n't mean to be indelicate , but you have a son that you barely see . why do you want another child ? nikolas : i know . i know . i 'm not gon na be getting any prizes for parenting anytime soon , but i at least wan na be able to provide financial support , maybe an education . alexis : not to mention riding lessons . nikolas : that , too . heh . look , i 'll keep trying with spencer and with this child , and who knows ? maybe i 'll get better at it . alexis : well , i have no doubt . nikolas : i got ta go . okay . alexis : all right . listen ... nikolas : yeah . alexis : let me know what the results are , okay ? nikolas : okay . [ scene_break ] diane : huh . hmm . well , the billing software is in the secretary 's computer . she usually handles things like that , but here are the paper forms . alexis : oh , but i do n't have any billable hours yet . diane : did you just have a conversation with someone ? alexis : it was my nephew . diane : okay . did you give him any advice ? alexis : i always give him advice . diane : so he 's got ta pay . alexis : that 's ridiculous . diane : he 's got more money than god . alexis : it 's the principle of the thing . diane : exactly . why should this firm represent the cassadines pro bono ? alexis : i am not sending my nephew a bill . diane : well , you might want to rethink that , my friend , because if sonny 's trial goes south , then our golden goose is going to be spending the rest of his days sitting in the clinker , which means good - bye huge retainers , good - bye triple charges , good - bye bonuses just for going to court , because aside from the odd desperate appeal now and then , we wo n't be billing sonny at all . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] elizabeth : come in . hey . steve : how 's it goin ' ? elizabeth : oh , it 's better now that you 're here . steve : ahh . epiphany said your test went well . elizabeth : yeah . now all i have to do is wait . steve : yeah . brownies from kelly 's . help you pass the time . [ elizabeth sighs ] steve : did i say something wrong ? elizabeth : no . no , you did n't know . oh , when i was high school , all i could make were brownies , and nikolas and emily and lucky and i , we used to throw these parties and shut down kelly 's and dance and have fun , and i always brought the brownies . steve : i did n't know . elizabeth : we would toast with them like they were glasses of champagne and promise to be friends forever , the 4 musketeers . steve : i had no idea . i 'm so sorry . elizabeth : it 's okay . it 's okay . it was a really long time ago . maybe this is a good sign . you know , the days of sharing brownies are over . we have all grown up , and it 's about time i started acting like it . i know what i 'm gon na do . steve : yeah ? what ? elizabeth : it does n't matter who 's the father of this baby . i 'm gon na raise my kids on my own . steve : that 's very courageous . elizabeth : thanks . steve : but that does n't mean you can pull it off . [ scene_break ] michael : it is n't right for dad to give up his whole life for me , and i should n't expect you to lie for me either . carly : okay , my testimony is going to be mostly true . all i have to say is that your father came in and saved me and josslyn instead of you . i mean , the story stays the same , except you were never in the cabin . that 's it . michael : you think they 'll believe you ? carly : i 'm a world - class liar , and i 've never been more motivated . michael : it is n't right . carly : michael , you saved me and your baby sister . once that trial is over , no matter what the outcome , you 're gon na have the rest of your life ahead of you , and that means your father and i win . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're protecting your son . believe me , i understand that . that 's your responsibility as a father . luke : so we 're cool ? sonny : yeah . luke : good . i appreciate it . oh , man . i been thinkin ' a lot about karma recently , how the wheel comes around , you know . i do n't get how you and i ended up with 2 sons who are cops . [ sonny laughs ] sonny : i actually saw dante at the station today . luke : you know , lulu 's quite taken with him . sonny : he 's a good man . i 'm glad they 're together . luke : so the kids are all right , to coin a phrase . sonny : dante , lulu , ethan , they are all under my protection . you have my word . luke : thank you , my friend . that i so appreciate . to better times . [ scene_break ] lucky : i have to hand it to johnny . there 's a simple brilliance to what he 's doin ' . i mean , he has n't tried to kill sonny . he 's just defying him . so if someone tries to take him out , it looks punitive , like a massive overreaction , which it would be . you do n't kill someone for boosting a shipment . jason : johnny wants to make sonny look weak . weakness gets you killed . i do n't have to tell you that . luke taught you that before sonny ever taught me . lucky : i do n't wan na have to arrest you for johnny 's murder , okay ? and i really do n't want ethan to wind up dead . see , it 's more than just my badge that 's in your way right now . it 's all of the people that we have in common . so for their sake and for mine , just lay off of johnny and ethan . look , if everyone could just stay calm , this whole situation might take care of itself , 'cause once sonny goes to prison , johnny wo n't have to worry about getting justice for his sister , and no one will have to die . spinelli : i do not wish to see any harm to come to the mob prince , but he seems determined to bring about his own demise . jason : if johnny keeps pushin ' me , i have to push back . i do n't want to , but i do n't see a way out of it . spinelli : perhaps not , but i might have an idea . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : are you saying i ca n't make it as a single mother ? steve : ah , no . i 'm just asking you to be realistic . you love your boys , and they love you , and i 'm sure you already love your baby . but take a look at cam and jake 's lives and what they 're really like . i mean , they already spend a whole lot of time with gram , and she 's not gettin ' any younger . they spend a lot of time in day care , and i know you have to have a job , but a third child is only gon na make everything that much more complicated . elizabeth : so what are you suggesting ? steve : keep your options open . you do n't have to depend on lucky or nikolas for everything , but look at this realistically . you 're gon na have to have help from somebody at some point . why not your child 's father ?

[ scene_break ] carly : you wanted to sleep with connie . are you telling me you have feelings for her ? sonny : what if i do ? carly : oh , i 'm sorry . kate 's having a mental breakdown , and you sleep with her alter ? no wonder why she does n't want to have anything to do with you . you totally betrayed her trust , sonny ! sonny : kate was gone for more than five months . i started to understand connie a little more each day , and then , you know ... carly : and the fact that she stole kate 's personality and has made everyone in this town miserable does n't matter at all ? sonny : connie has been wrong about a lot of things , but you know what ? carly : oh , my god ! you 're so selfish ! do you know that ? a woman gives you her heart when she knows that she should n't , and she ignores all the warnings , everyone telling her over and over again to stay the hell away from you , but she believes in you , and she defends you , and you sit there and you lie right to her face ! sonny : what are you talk -- i did n't lie to kate . what are you talking about ? carly : i 'm talking about me ! todd manning . [ scene_break ] todd : it 's all over for me , is n't it ? once johnny 's goon spills his guts , i 'm toast . heather : do n't be such a defeatist , todd . if you can get johnny to call his goon off , the case will fall apart . todd : that 's kind of a reach , do n't you think ? heather : no evidence , no case . why would they follow up on any new leads if they 've got me pleading guilty ? you could walk out of that courtroom a free man . todd : it 's not that i do n't appreciate your enthusiasm , 'cause i do , but johnny zacchara hates my guts , and i do n't blame him . he 's not gon na do me any favors after i stole carly from him . heather : really ? where is she ? i do n't see her here by your side . todd : she 's just ... a little upset at me right now . that 's all . it 's just a misunderstanding . heather : so , apparently , the end result is you do n't actually have carly . why would n't johnny do you a favor ?

[ scene_break ] todd : i do n't know . maybe -- maybe you 're right . maybe johnny does n't have a reason to resent me now that carly and i are , strictly speaking -- well , strictly speaking , we 're not anything , are we . carly : i believe that you were trying to rescue danny . todd : okay . i recognize that i 'm speaking to a complete lunatic , but try and understand -- the last time i spoke to carly , it was right here , and i felt as if she was starting to thaw . heather : so what ? johnny does n't need to know that . why do n't you have that snippy lawyer of yours go to pentonville and explain to johnny that you and carly are kaput . todd : why would she lie to one client on behalf of another client ? heather : she 's a lawyer . it 's what you pay her to do . so , you tell diane to go talk to johnny , do whatever she has to do . just get him to forbid his goon from testifying against you . todd : you know , johnny does kind of owe me one , right ? 'cause he killed my granddaughter . heather : well , go ahead -- use it . whatever it takes to get him to back off . todd : easier said than done . heather : [ sighs ] think about it this way , todd . if you 're gon na avoid going to prison , it means you can find out if you and carly still have something . [ scene_break ] sonny : manning ? why even bring him up ? i mean , what -- i thought you wrote him off ? carly : i did , when i thought that he was gone for good , but now he 's back , and i got to deal with him . sonny : well , only if you want to . is n't he going to trial for stealing jason 's kid ? carly : yeah . kidnapping and a list of other things . sonny : well , diane 's not gon na be able to get him out of this . he 's on his way to pentonville , along with your other boyfriend , johnny . they 're gon na be , like , making license plates . carly : that 's really funny . sonny : well , is n't that what you wanted -- out of sight , out of mind ? oh . maybe not . look at you , pining over the son of a bitch who stole jason 's kid . carly : hey , i hate what happened to danny , but i know todd was n't solely responsible . sonny : oh , so now you 're defending him ? he 's a dirt bag , same as johnny . they 're both liars and murderers . one 's going to prison . the other one 's in prison . well , at least you 're two for two . carly : who the hell are you to judge ? you ca n't make up your mind between a snobby bitch with a fake name and a piece of trash ? sonny : okay , let 's not go there now , carly . carly : say what you want , but at least johnny and todd are two different people . [ scene_break ] todd : why you doing this for me ? heather : i have a lot of skills , todd , developed over years of dealing with the mental - health profession . why waste them ? todd : okay . but it 's kind of a good idea . i mean , at the very least , it 's a non - insane idea . it 's almost generous . heather : maybe i 'm not the vicious lunatic you think i am . todd : no , you 're a vicious lunatic , but you 're having a brush with reality . heather : i know . it 's true . ever since steven lars got hurt ... i mean , when i hurt steven lars , i just -- i could n't deny it anymore . i gave birth to him . i love that child . he means more than anything to me . i just wish i could tell him . todd : where the hell 's my lawyer ? ! officer : would n't know , mr. manning . todd : i need to talk to my lawyer ! i have trial , like , tomorrow ! can i talk to my lawyer , please ? ! officer : you 'll have to take that up with her when she gets here . todd : okay , my lawyer knows a lot of really big words like `` police brutality `` and `` human rights violations , `` and i think it would be in everybody 's best interests if you would just let me talk to her for like five minutes . come on ! see ? now , does n't it feel good to make good choices ? heather : what 's this ? todd : this is a telephone that has a cord on it . you should use it to call your son 'cause that 's what you want to do . you 're welcome .

[ scene_break ] michael : look , my dad would n't hurt aj . he gave me his word . tracy : [ chuckles ] really ? and what is the market value of a mobster 's word these days ? michael : okay , you do n't have to believe in sonny , okay , but you can believe me . i was just with him . if he sent somebody to kill aj , it would have been written all over his face . tracy : wait a minute . wait a minute . you were just with sonny ? when ? michael : a little bit ago in his office . why ? tracy : because luke went to find sonny , and i have n't heard from him since . michael : what would luke want with my dad ? tracy : he went to broker a cease - fire between aj and sonny , and now i 'm worried that sonny did n't like what luke had to say . [ scene_break ] ava : sonny , this is the best thing for michael . aj will be gone . and michael will never have to know your part in it . sonny : you do n't even care about michael . why are you pushing so hard for him to die ? [ ava remembers ] ava : aj . what are you doing here ? aj : i know you did it . i know you killed connie . ava : i do n't want aj dead . but i know full well that if he lives , it 'll be it for us ! do n't you understand ? he will go to the cops . he will tell them that you shot him , and there wo n't be anything we can do about it ! we have to make a choice , sonny ! it 's either him or us . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : ric . what are you doing here ? ric : well , uh , hoping to speak to you , actually . felix : uh , i take it you two are acquainted ? elizabeth : felix , this is ric lansing , my ex - husband . felix : a - and this is a welcome visit ? elizabeth : yeah . felix : okay . far be it for me to interfere . ric : [ sighs ] you have n't changed a bit , elizabeth . still as beautiful as ever . [ scene_break ] michael : i did n't see luke at my dad 's office . you sure he did n't take off on another road trip ? tracy : no . he absolutely did not do that . he promised me he would n't . michael : okay , well , maybe you should back your bank accounts just to be sure . tracy : oh , you think he robbed me and then took off 10 minutes out of the hospital ? michael : i mean , no offense , but he 's done it before . i mean , i 'm sure he cares about you . he 's just very , you know , independent . disappearing is kind of his thing . tracy : well , it 's different now . we 're different now . he -- he promised me that he would never lie to me again , and it just makes me think that ... something 's really wrong . i ca n't stand it . i have to call him again . [ ringing ] luke : hello ? tracy : oh , thank god . where are you ? luke : turn around . tracy : luke , i was so worried about you ! luke : i know . tracy : what 's wrong with you ? ! the last time you disappeared , you 'd been kidnapped ! luke : i 've only been gone a few hours . tracy : yeah , a few hours , when somebody broke into this house , a gunman stood over aj , and you took off after him , and somebody 's trying to kill aj ! luke : all right . i 'm sorry that i worried you . but i told you . i was going to see sonny . michael : i was just with my dad . he did n't say anything about meeting with you . tracy : uh - huh . where were you , luke ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i shot aj because i lost it . it 's the only reason i would have broken a promise to my son . ava : the promise is already broken . now you have to keep michael from finding out . sonny : i 'm not gon na execute aj . ava : what if he survives ? you know he 'll talk . sonny : he 's gon na bleed out in a minute . nothing more ... i would love to see him take his last breath , but we got -- we got to think about the cops right now . somebody probably called them to report a gunshot . is it wise for us to be here ? is it ? ! ava : i see your point . may i ? sonny : you want my gun ? ava : may i ? sonny : you 're gon na just leave it here ? ava : you had my back before when aj was choking me . now i need you to trust that i have yours . can you do that ? [ scene_break ] anna : well , dr. clay and sam were always claiming that ava jerome was trying to frame him for his wife 's attempted murder , so could there be any merit in this new accusation ? nathan : supposedly ava jerome was in the city at the same time as nakamura 's overdose , visiting her mother , delia coleridge . anna : that 's a huge coincidence ! nathan : no more a coincidence than silas clay staying behind at the hotel at the same time as nakamura 's overdose . anna : [ sighs ] true . you know , what worries me is just that you are so invested in finding dr. clay guilty of his wife 's attempted murder that you might be blind to any other possible suspects . nathan : yeah , but clay is the one with the motivation here . he was his wife 's sole heir . he stood to inherit a fortune when she died . anna : but love is a very strong motivator . you know , i mean , was n't ava involved with silas at the time that his wife od 'd ? maybe she wanted his wife out of the picture , you know . i mean , ava was carrying his child at the time . nathan : look , permission to speak freely ? anna : yeah , of course . nathan : [ clears throat ] maybe -- maybe i am focused on getting silas clay . anna : yeah . nathan : is it possible that maybe you 're doing the same thing with ava jerome ? anna : what does that mean ? nathan : look , with respect , i did my homework . i researched ava and her family extensively , and i know about your history with the jeromes , her brother julian in particular . anna : yeah . i do have a history with the jeromes . and , uh , my suspicions about ava i - i have from experience . the jeromes back in the day , they were very ruthless , single - minded in getting exactly what they wanted . now , i did n't know ava back then , but i shudder to think what she was capable of . [ telephone rings ] anna : commissioner devane . yeah , i 'll take that . um , the building is -- is right close to the station . yeah . okay . nathan : what was that ? anna : well , speaking of ava , shots were fired in her penthouse . [ scene_break ] julian : ava , you home ? [ sighs ] oh , my god . [ scene_break ] sonny : michael 's not gon na be able to look me in the face . i gave him my word . ava : aj had already lost a lot of blood by the time we left . with any luck , he 'll die before anyone finds him , and michael will never have to know that you 're the one who shot him . sonny : i should never have pulled the trigger . but i was there . the gun was right -- i picked it up . he was choking you . ava : you saved my life . he was strangling me . sonny : but not when i shot him ! ava : the bottom line is this . if you had n't walked in , aj would have killed me just like he killed connie . sonny : i 'm not -- i 'm confused . why was aj there ? you got to tell me . you got to tell me why he was hurting you . [ scene_break ] julian : he 's still breathing . what the hell is going on ? [ thud ] julian : if anybody 's back there , i 'm warning you ! i 'm armed ! [ door slams open ] nathan : police ! anna : drop your weapon !

[ chuckles ] they sure grow up fast , do n't they ? elizabeth : yes , they do . ric : how about your youngest ? elizabeth : aiden ? ric : hmm . elizabeth : he 's perfect . he adores his older brother . ric : bet they keep you on your toes , huh ? elizabeth : yes , they do . being a single mom of two little boys can run me ragged at times . ric : oh , i do n't know about that . like i said , i 've never seen you look more beautiful . look ... i 'm gon na be in town for a while . you think that maybe we could grab dinner sometime ? elizabeth : are you asking me out ? ric : well , that depends . are you seeing somebody ? elizabeth : no , no , no . i 'm -- no . ric : okay . then it 's all settled . will you have dinner with me ? [ scene_break ] luke : someone has n't been listening . i said i was looking for sonny . i did n't say i found him . i went over to his house . no one was there . michael : well , uh , tracy told me that you were trying to find sonny to help aj , so , uh , thank you . you know , i really appreciate it . luke : well , you are my sister 's grandson . she 'd hate it if you lost a parent , even though you do have one to spare . tracy : uh , that 's luke 's roundabout way of saying you 're family . luke : i did n't end up doing anything anyway but getting a haircut and a shave . michael : well , that 's okay . there 's no point in talking to my dad anyway . he had nothing to do with what happened here . if somebody wants aj dead , it 's definitely not sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : aj went after connie 'cause he blamed her for losing elq . he was wrong , but he had a reason . i just -- i just need to understand why he attacked you , that 's all . ava : it was just like the last time , when he showed up at your office thinking it was still julian 's . aj came pounding on my door drunk as usual , and he asked for a job in julian 's organization . and i said i could n't help him . he -- he forced his way in , and he just would n't let it go . aj was obsessed with the idea of working with julian to take you down , like he had n't hurt you enough when he killed connie . sonny : he 's a coward . he -- he ca n't come after me himself , so he 's gon na hide behind your dirtbag brother . ava : when i refused to help him , he totally flipped out . i managed to get that gun to protect myself , of course , but he knocked it out of my hand . he started strangling me , and he said , `` i 'll show you the way i showed connie . `` sonny : son of a bitch . ava : and then you came in . you know the rest . sonny : i 'm glad i showed up . ava : me , too . sonny : but do n't think you 're in the clear , because now you 're involved in aj 's murder . it was at your penthouse , and i 'm telling you right now , the cops are gon na be questioning me , because aj already accused me of sending someone to attack him earlier today . ava : the cops are n't gon na be looking for us , sonny . if we play our cards right , another suspect will fall right into the pcpd 's lap . julian . [ scene_break ] anna : drop the gun , julian ! drop it ! julian : okay . okay . easy . anna : put it down . julian : here you go . all right . anna : nathan . nathan : he 's got a pulse . it 's weak , but it 's there . anna : call it in . julian : look , i know how this looks , but i promise i had nothing to do with this . i 'm just as surprised as you are . anna : well , i 'm not surprised . nathan : we have one vic , bullet wound to the chest . [ scene_break ] silas : i would very much like to believe that nina had just been moved somewhere else , but it does n't make a lot of sense . her name is still listed in the active registry at the clinic . sam : [ clears throat ] maybe she was moved recently or , i do n't know , suddenly without any warning . silas : what are you saying ? sam : i just think for the first time in 20 years , someone 's looking into what happened to your wife , and i think we 've made progress toward proving that ava is trying to frame you . if nina was moved , maybe it 's because we 're getting too close to the truth . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : are you really asking me out ? 'cause i do n't know what to say . ric : look , i know a lot of stuff went down between us -- elizabeth : `` stuff `` ? did you just say `` stuff `` ? ric , you used to be a little more eloquent . ric : i was trying to be succinct . elizabeth : go on . ric : we have n't been married for a long time . we watched our children grow up . and i 'd just like to think that , well , maybe i 've grown up a little bit , too . and maybe we can learn to just toss out the garbage that came between us while we rekindle what was once good . and , elizabeth , what was good between us was very , very good . come on . what do you say ? felix : gunshot wound . prep cubicle one . elizabeth : i got to work . emt : he 's lost a lot of blood . he hung two liters , but we got to move fast . felix : okay . elizabeth : oh , my god . aj . [ scene_break ] michael : all right , i 'm gon na go look for aj at the boathouse . he , uh , hangs down there a lot . luke : really ? well , good luck . michael : thank you . [ door opens ] luke : well , my love , you were awfully quick to jump down my throat here . tracy : can you blame me ? you have a history of disappearing , not to mention your story does not add up . luke : well , okay . there is more to the story . i 'm sorry . tracy : sorry for what ? luke : i lied to you . i was n't looking for sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : do n't get me wrong , ava . i would love nothing more to stick it to your brother . what makes you think the cops are gon na peg him for aj 's shooting ? ava : julian 's been staying with me since you and olivia kicked him out of the metro court . sonny : mm - hmm . ava : luckily for me , i had some very public business this afternoon in new york , far , far away from the scene of the crime . no one even knows i was back but you and aj . the first person the cops will see trying to come home will be my brother . [ scene_break ] nathan : we found the victim on his chest here with his head over here , his arms were outstretched . julian : came home from a business meeting . i found aj quartermaine on the floor with a bullet in his chest . checked for a pulse . i was about to call an ambulance when you two burst in here guns blazing . anna : okay , can i just stop you right there ? because you 're missing out the best part -- that you had a gun in your hand . julian : i found that on the floor . anna : really ? you 're telling me that an intelligent man like yourself with a criminal history does n't know not to go around picking up stray murder weapons ? julian : listen to me . i was trying to protect myself . anna : uh - huh . julian : i had no idea if aj 's attacker was still in here . anna : okay , so aj 's attacker brought the gun in ? julian : i did n't say that . anna : you seen this gun before ? julian : i have . anna : mm - hmm . and ? julian : it 's mine . [ scene_break ] sonny : just because julian lives where aj 's body was found is not -- ava : oh , it 's not just that . the gun that you used to shoot aj , it belongs to julian . it 's registered in his name . when aj flipped out , i grabbed it to protect myself . sonny : well , that 's interesting . ava : you saw me wipe our prints off that gun . and so the only person the cops will be able to trace the murder weapon back to is julian . and anna devane would love nothing more than to put julian away . do n't you see , sonny ? not only did you save my life , but you solved both of your problems at once . aj finally paid for killing connie , and julian will go down for it . [ scene_break ] anna : thank you . all right , i 've heard enough . hands behind your back . thank you . julian : listen to me . just because the gun is mine does n't mean i did this . someone else could have come in here and used the gun to shoot aj . anna : well , you do have a point , but if you were n't here , who let aj into your penthouse ? julian : [ chuckles ] well , it 's not my penthouse . anna : what are you saying ? your sister ava did this ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ava : did anyone else know you were coming to my penthouse today ? sonny : just shawn . he 'll -- he 's not gon na talk . he 'll cover for me if i need him to . ava : good . sonny : where do you think you 're going ? ava : back to new york . i 'm going to strengthen my alibi . i never came back to port charles today . [ scene_break ] sam : if -- if ava thought that we were on to her , she could have arranged to have nina transferred . silas : but why ? it 's not as if nina could tell us anything . sam : i do n't know , silas . maybe there 's some clue in nina 's body that will be able to exonerate you or -- or some sort of indication that you were n't the one to give her the overdose . silas : you 're good -- you 're good at this .

[ scene_break ] ava : i promise you , sonny , everything is gon na work out just fine . once our alibis are corroborated , we 'll be in the clear . sonny : how do i know you wo n't flip on me , turn me over to the cops ? ava : i know i have a way to go before proving my allegiance to you . but we are in this together . if one of us goes down for what happened to aj , we both will . that 's why it 's vital that julian take the fall . sonny : we got a problem . your brother was n't there when aj was shot and his body was found , so how do we know your brother does n't have an alibi ? ava : well ... i guess we just have to cross our fingers and hope he does n't . [ scene_break ] anna : well , i 'm listening . if you 've got something that connects ava to this crime , start talking . julian : i do n't . anna : i thought you 'd do better than that . julian : well , i ca n't , because i had nothing to do with this . besides , you two are the cops . you should be able to figure out who really did this . anna : well , we will . why do n't we just start at the top ? you say you walked in , aj had been shot , you 'd come from a meeting . who were you meeting with ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : please , god . please , please , please let him be okay .

[ alexis sighs ] ric : i 'm just thinking that maybe she was registered under a different name . maybe it was under `` cassadine `` or it was under `` davis `` ? alexis : davis ? i changed my name to davis way after this happened . ric : check . check . alexis : cassadine -- i certainly hope not , but it 's a possibility . ok . ric : no . ok , all right , it 's just been misfiled . we 'll just check all -- all baby girls born on that day . alexis : oh -- this is just wrong . i 'm telling you , it is wrong . how can there be no record of any girls born in chatham , maine , on may 11 ? mikkos must 've tampered with the records . i 'm sure he paid somebody to register the baby under `` jane doe `` in another county . i bet she does n't even have a birth certificate . ric : everybody has a birth certificate , alexis . there is some kind of a record and we will find it . alexis , you know the town that you stayed in . we 'll just go back to the clinic and we 'll go through every file by hand if necessary . this is a dead end only if you want it to be . we will find your daughter if that 's what you want . [ scene_break ] jason : all right , the cleanest line to your mother is through your adoptive parents , and the best way we can track them is through danny . sam : well , obviously , after danny was born with his disability , they did n't want to take their chances . jason : mm - hmm . sam : i 'm sure my father wanted a bigger family , so they adopted me . but he probably left us with evelyn because he 's not a domestic kind of guy , you know ? jason : ok , if we can find out where danny was born , maybe you were born there , too . you said your dad was n't much of a grifter before -- sam : maine . maine . jason : are you sure ? sam : yeah , danny -- danny -- he used to talk about how cold the winters were and the ice and the snow , and he -- he actually mentioned it . i am positive . i am positive . it has to be maine . jason : ok . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you 're using your position as john 's father to rewrite history and push me to the margins of courtney 's life . jax : what life , nikolas ? courtney 's gone . nikolas : it is so easy for you to put courtney behind you and move on , is n't it , jax ? how long did you mourn her , an entire week ? and then you send this enormous bouquet of flowers to her memorial , and then `` next . moving on . time to go . `` jax : you know what ? you do n't know how i feel , ok ? we all mourn in our different ways . nikolas : in some ways , it must be a relief to you that courtney died -- you get to have her son all to yourself , and you do n't have to deal with the fact she did n't love you anymore . jax : back off , nikolas ! elizabeth : hey , what -- what 's going on ? emily : you 're both hurting . jax : not according to nikolas . now , apparently he 's the only one allowed to grieve , and we 're all just bystanders in his personal tragedy . emily : nikolas , are you ok ? nikolas : what , i 'm standing , i 'm breathing ? what else matters ? certainly not the fact that courtney 's dead , and what she would want . jax is taking revenge because she loved me and not him . elizabeth : i take it he does n't want to release courtney 's ashes to you ? nikolas : it does n't matter . i do n't need his permission to do what 's right . elizabeth : like i said . emily : elizabeth , you know nikolas -- the harder we push , the further he 's going to pull away . and the four musketeers is not a quick fix for what he 's going through . elizabeth : yeah , you 're right , i agree , he needs to grieve . but i 'm scared for him .

[ scene_break ] sonny : hey , carly , i do n't want you here when everything hits the fan . carly : you ca n't do this . it 's kidnapping . sonny : uh , it 's ridiculous calling me a kidnapper when it 's my daughter . carly : michael has custody . it 's a legal fact , and if you fail to turn avery over , it 's kidnapping , and you 're making morgan an accomplice . sonny : morgan is a grown man . he -- he -- he makes his own decisions . he knows what 's at stake . he 's just trying to protect his sister . carly : okay , protect her from who ? sonny , michael 's our son , and he 's gon na love her and care for her , and you do n't need to do this to yourself and morgan . sonny : i can protect morgan . carly : from prison ? look at me . you 're not gon na get away with this . sonny : i do n't need to get away with it . i just need to delay michael long enough so he ca n't get anywhere near her . carly : and what if he gets here before you make all this happen ? what are you gon na say ?

[ scene_break ] nina : yeah , come on . um , let 's go . franco : one sec . i want to hear what he has to say . what do you have to say , mr. spencer ? fluke : i could n't help but notice that the two of you desire an early checkout . i , too , am going to be leaving this pop stand . franco : really ? 'cause you 're strapped to the bed . you do n't seem terribly mobile . fluke : oh , this is a temporary situation , and not a very effective one . i will be getting out . and since i 'm a man who always pays his debts , i was thinking i might be able to take the two of you with me . so what say we pool our resources ... and get the hell out of this dimwit motel ? franco : okay , i 'm listening . nina : excuse us . fluke : mm . nina : um , can you come here for a second ? franco : um ... nina : what are you doing ? [ chuckles ] franco : [ chuckles ] nina : two seconds ago , you wanted to kill this guy , and -- and now you 're entertaining the thought of us escaping together . franco : right . nina : yeah . franco : you know why ? 'cause sometimes things change . nina : yeah , well , you should ask your dad that -- if he could hear you . fluke : oh , for god 's sake , i did not tear out his cochlea . i am not out of control . i was about to be dumped into prison . i deduced that it would be easier to bust out of the looney bin than pentonville . i have done it before . nina : so you got yourself thrown in here on purpose ? fluke : mm - hmm . nina : yeah , he has ... crazy coming out of his pores . franco : come on , i did exactly the same thing . nina : 'cause you did it for me . he 's doing it for himself . fluke : and that gives me the perfect motivation to do it for all three of us . franco : [ sighs ] maybe this is exactly what we need . maybe luke really has a great plan to get us all out of here . nina : well , we have a plan -- we 're gon na be crazy , and then we 're gon na get better . franco : yeah , but that plan could take a long time , and who knows -- if we actually get assigned a credible counselor , he could see right through the fact that we 're not -- not exactly as crazy as we say we are . nina : yeah , but we -- franco : i think that our best chance of getting out of here is with luke . nina : so , pardon me . fluke : no problem . nina : um ... so , we escape , and we go on the run . i mean , that did n't work before -- we could get caught . franco : i thought it was working great . we got out of the country . i mean , the only thing that was holding us back was the kid . nina : really ? ! franco : t - the kid that 's beautiful . little , sparkling bundle of bliss . jaime , uh , it 's ... [ sighs ] ... i - i - i just felt like the kid made it hard for us to move quickly or to blend in . but if it 's just the two of us -- and my resources . fluke : i do have a legion of contacts outside of this place who are willing to help . i think it can be done . it 'll be no problem . i mean ... ask anyone . i 'm the master of disappearance .

[ scene_break ] diane : normally , i do n't take custody cases because they 're messy and emotions run very , very high , and it 's very rare that everyone walks away with a happy ending . nora : so , why this one ? diane : well , i 'm on retainer to a very ... particular man with a very particular reputation . i happen to think very highly of him because , by his own standards , he 's a man of honor . nothing comes before family with him . in fact , his daughter - in - law is my client in this case ... nora : oh ! diane : ... and so he insisted on her having the best representation available , and it happens to be me . nora : okay . [ chuckles ] so , how do you win a custody case ? diane : well , it 's -- it 's very tricky . it 's a balancing act ... nora : right . diane : ... because you want to discredit the other parent , but you do n't want to appear overly aggressive or engaging in speculative accusations , because you 'll alienate the court . and above all , you want to paint your client as having the best interests of the child in mind at all times . nora : right . laura : hello , diane . diane : in fact , there are my clients now . hi , laura . hi , lulu . i 'd like to introduce you to my new friend . i just realized i never got your name .

[ scene_break ] robin : you want to bring duke back ... to life ? olivia jerome : i hear the skepticism in your voice , and i 'm really disappointed . i would think that a person with your skills and knowledge , education , would be more aware . when i was away from port charles , i - i studied every kind of culture and philosophy , and i learned so many things , and i 've seen marvelous miracles happen . most of all , i 've -- i 've expanded my consciousness . robin : what does that mean ? olivia : death is a failure of perception . it 's a transitory state . it 's changeable . whereas life is tenacious , clever , inventive . life seeks to help us . sometimes we need to give life a helping hand . robin : so ... you want to resurrect duke in the basement of general hospital ?

[ scene_break ] diane : well , that was not my finest moment . i owe all of you an apology for my lapse in judgment . i was talking to her for more than 10 minutes , and i had no idea who she was . lulu : how will this affect our case ? diane : it wo n't . but as i tried to explain before , securing sole custody is very difficult . lulu : valentin murdered my brother . diane : but we ca n't prove that . all i can do is present you and dante as exactly who and what you are -- loving and stable parents . it helps our case that valentin has led a relatively unsettled and undocumented life . dante : will that be enough ? diane : i do n't like to engage in speculation . i have several angles that i 'm going to pursue , but nora buchanan is no pushover . she 's going to present valentin in the best light possible . [ scene_break ] valentin : so , what do we think of lulu 's attorney ? nora : she 's good . she 's good . i mean , i tripped her up getting her to talk , but when she found out who i was , she barely blinked . [ chuckles ] and although she did n't say his name , she alluded to the fact that she 's on retainer to sonny corinthos . valentin : yeah , lulu is married to ... his son . nora : hmm . okay . well , my point is , ms. miller makes a very nice living keeping sonny corinthos out of prison and making sure he gets what he wants , and he clearly wants his daughter - in - law to get charlotte . so ms. miller 's gon na come after us with everything she has . valentin : which is why i took the precaution of hiring you . you have a formidable reputation yourself . nora : well , thank you , but lawyers ' tricks only go so far . it 's very important how you and nina present yourself to the court , so i really would like to review her testimony . when is she arriving ? valentin : nina may not be joining us . nora : for the briefing ? valentin : at all .

[ scene_break ] nora : whatever your argument was with nina , apologize . i mean it . whatever -- whatever it takes , just lock her down , get her to the courtroom standing beside you like a devoted wife . valentin : i ca n't guarantee that that 's gon na happen . nora : mr. cassadine , uh , you are a man with an ad - admittedly questionable past . lulu falconeri is married , stable , and has a stack of affidavits as thick as a phone book all supporting her as a parent . if you do n't provide a loving , warm maternal figure for charlotte to the court , here are your likely results -- one , you 're either gon na have to share custody with lulu or you 're gon na lose custody entirely .

[ scene_break ] ric : you need to get this through your head , faith -- there 's no way out for you , all right ? there 's no place you can run , there 's no deal that you 're going to be able to make . you have admitted to killing a child that you kidnapped -- that is murder with special circumstances . that 's a death sentence , and i 'm going to make sure that you get it . faith : wo n't you feel the slightest bit hypocritical , ric , prosecuting me ? because you are , in fact , a kidnapper yourself , mr. holier - than - thou . think about it -- you abducted carly when she was pregnant , kept her chained to a wall for weeks , all the while planning to kill her and steal her unborn child . you , my friend , are in absolutely no position to judge me . ric : you 're right . i was wrong . but i corrected my behavior . i let carly go and i rebuilt my life . faith : oh . gee . ok , then . and what a life you did manage to build -- district attorney , married to the equally smug alexis davis and , oh , stepfather to your brother 's child . must be sweet . ric : it is . faith : well , enjoy it while you can because unless you cut me a deal allowing me to plead insanity , i am going to systematically trash your marriage , your career , and everything you hold dear , and it will be my distinct pleasure to watch you stand in the ruins .

[ scene_break ] sam : have you found anything ? jason : this whole idea of numbered offshore accounts is to hide money , conceal identities . this whole thing could be a waste of time . not that it matters . i mean , nothing does if michael 's gone , right ? sam : no , no , no . jason , do not let your father do this to you . alan is grieving . he is looking for someone to blame . you 're an easy target . it does not make any of -- jason : sam -- sam : his accusations true . jason : if michael is dead , i do n't know what to do with that . you know all the things i told you when your baby died ? i just do n't know how to make them work for myself . that 's why i 'm holding on right now to reese 's theory that michael survived . sam : i do n't know much about anything , but i am sure of one thing . more than anyone i have ever known , i trust your instincts . so if you feel that searching for michael is a dead end , then we stop . but if you have even a shred of hope , jason -- a shred of hope , then we keep going . either way , i am on your side . [ scene_break ] ric : you 're not going to cut any deals , faith . do you understand me ? you 're not going to get up in front of some judge and plead insanity so that he can send you off to some treatment facility where you can convince the doctors that you 're sane and that you 're cured and they send you off , or better yet , so that you can plan yet another escape . you deserve to die for what you did . i am going to see that justice is served . faith : are n't you something to see ? eyes all afire with righteous indignation . the law and god on your side . very moving , ric . i 'll give you that . and up until now , it has played out beautifully on the evening news . oh , god , look at you . d.a . , in spite of some rather dubious connections to not one , but two local mob figures . well , guess what , sweetheart -- everything is about to change . ric : is that right ? faith : yes . you see , i 'm going to get on the stand , and i am going to testify to every single lurid detail of our relationship . ric : that was no relationship , faith ! faith : exactly . i am going to stand there and tell the world how you used me and threw me away like garbage . i will cry rivers when i tell them how devastated i was , how blindsided , how i begged you to give me another chance . and you made me feel like dirt , you son of a bitch . when i tell them how my complete and utter humiliation and hurt turned into rage . and that you were the target of my vendetta , not sonny . not alexis . you . because of your insensitive , callous behavior , those poor , sweet , innocent children were kidnapped . and after i am through trashing your career , i will start in on your marriage . alexis : you 're forgetting something , faith . it 's my marriage , too . there 's no way in hell i 'm ever going to give you the power to destroy that . [ scene_break ] john : you two are spinning your wheels so you can cover your own backs . reese : that sounds like a good trick . how does that work , mr. durant ? john : well , you do n't want a black mark on your record , right ? you know , the brass do n't like botched cases , especially ones that have children that are murdered . and you -- you want to make sure that you have continued access to the one son you have left because you know the second carly starts to see things clearly , she 's going to realize that michael is dead , it 's because of you , and she 's going to take steps to keep morgan away from you . and that 's why you keep feeding in her denial , encouraging her to believe that michael is still alive . sonny : michael is alive . john : yeah ? oh , so says the grieving father . only you 're not , right ? michael is adopted . he 's not your flesh and blood . your two children are home safe and sound . sonny : michael 's my son . say he 's not . go ahead , say it again , durant . say michael 's not my son ! reese : all right -- john : do n't you threaten me ! sonny : no , you say it to me . reese : as long as mr. durant is here , i think our time is best facilitated by asking him a few questions . durant , where were you the night kristina was abducted ? john : what does that matter ? reese : faith is working with an accomplice . john : so ? reese : so , carly had frozen you out of her life . it 's conceivable that you contacted faith , arranged for her to kidnap your children so you could come on in and rescue them and look like a hero in your daughter 's eyes . oh , and just so you know , i have every intention of questioning faith about your potential involvement . john : you listen , my grandson is dead . instead of standing here concocting elaborate conspiracy theories , why do n't you march your ass down to the courthouse and make sure that the woman who killed michael pays ? sonny : do n't concern yourself . she is going to pay . along with anybody else who made the mistake of helping her . [ scene_break ] lucky : i know everybody means well . and i am grateful for all the love . but if one more person stops by my room with flowers or asks me even how i 'm doing -- emily : well , i know , i know . too much concern can start to feel like pressure . lucky : yeah . i just want to get out of this place . i just want to get back to my room over kelly 's , you know ? be it ever so humble . emily : listen , i have a better idea . i 've been thinking of moving back to wyndemere . and you 're not strong enough to stay alone . and god knows , there 's plenty of room there . so why do n't you just stay with me until you 're fully recovered ?

[ scene_break ] jax : this is about the police department giving in to pressure from the quartermaines , specifically alan . he wants someone to blame . now , i understand and sympathize , but i wo n't allow him to make courtney a scapegoat . mac : i 'm not trying to railroad innocent people , jax . i 'm trying to solve a homicide . and right now , at this juncture , all the evidence points to courtney . jax : well , why do n't you just arrest her and be done with it ? mac : i do n't have enough to bring charges . jax : oh . i did n't think so . mac : are you refusing to go to the station ? courtney : well , i wo n't be interrogated without my lawyer present . mac : that 's your right . i 'll be in contact with your attorney . rachel : things looked pretty heated over here . what 's going on ? jax : um -- mac just wanted to know about the a.j . case . it 's no big deal . rachel : then why do you look so upset ? courtney : i 'm fine . may we have some privacy , please ? rachel : of course . well , you know where i 'll be . jax : can we go , please ? courtney : sure . but , jax , i do n't want to go home . i need to go find sonny and carly and see if i can do anything for them . jax : well , i 'd offer to come with you , but -- courtney : it 's -- it 's best if i go alone . jax : is there anything i can do for you in the meantime ? courtney : if you do n't mind , could you go to faith 's arraignment ? i mean , i doubt she 'll say anything new , but just in case . jax : hey , consider it done . courtney : i love you so much . [ scene_break ] faith : you can thank your husband here for the inspiration . after watching the way sonny came unglued when ric took carly , i knew the surest way to destroy him was through his children . and see , i could have limited my efforts to michael and morgan , but i wanted ric to suffer . so i took your daughter . alexis : you really should n't waste what we 're all hoping will be your last breath . there 's nothing that you 're going to say that 's going to make me turn against my husband . in fact , i 'm willing to give him a big , fat kiss when he gets you convicted and sentenced to lethal injection . have you had about enough ? ric : more than . thanks for the vote of confidence . alexis : there 's nothing that woman is going to say to make me doubt you . we 've been through too much together . [ scene_break ] faith : our deal was that you would get me out of here . so do it now . or i will tell the police and the grieving family what really happened to michael , and why . [ scene_break ] jason : why ? why would faith keep michael alive as long as she did only to kill him at the end ? and why would she even admit killing him at all , unless she 's lying to just make us give up the search ? sam : find the answers to those questions , and i think you may find michael . what is this , her financial records ? jason : yeah , she -- man , she bounced her money around a lot . wait a minute . sam : what ? jason : look at that . a $ 2 million deposit on january 31 , 2005 . that 's the day kristina was taken . [ scene_break ] sonny : if you did this , durant -- if you assisted faith in any way so you can send our kidnapped children to carly as christmas gifts , god help you . john : you can make all the threats you want , but it does n't change the truth . those children were taken . it was because of you . and a grandson that i barely got to know because you would n't let me -- he 's dead . and you 're the reason . you take michael into your home ; you swear you 're going to be a father to him . you expose him to danger . you failed to protect him . shame on you . carly : what is going on here ? why are you here ? john : i 'm going to take you and morgan away from here before he gets you killed , the way he did michael . carly : do n't you say things like that . michael is alive . faith faked his death and then she sent him somewhere else . john : carly , i know that 's what you want to believe , and who can blame you ? but the evidence tells another story . carly : what evidence , john ? what evidence are you talking about ? are you talking about an empty grave , or a muddy shovel and a few drops of blood ? are you talking about the bold - faced lie that she told when she said that she murdered my son ? john : why would she confess to the murder of a child that she did n't commit ? carly : i do n't know , john . i do n't know . why does she confess to anything ? why does she say or do anything ? she 's evil . john : carly -- carly : she 's vindictive , she 's out of her mind , she just wants us to suffer ! john : carly . maybe you 're in denial , or maybe on some level you blame yourself for staying loyal to sonny or letting him adopt michael and take a place in both of your sons ' lives , but you -- carly : ok , you 're about to step over a line . i need you to stop it . john : i 'll risk any anger you can throw at me if it means keeping my one remaining grandson safe , and he is not safe as long as he is in this monster 's orbit ! carly : monster ? john : yeah , he 's a monster ! as long as he stays in his orbit , he is not safe , he is at risk . carly , i am begging you ; do not let michael 's death go in vain . please learn something from this . protect morgan , get him out of this house and as far away from sonny as you possibly can ! sonny : carly can stay here as long as she wants . she can leave when she wants . morgan is my son . i 'm not giving up . john : yeah , well , you do n't mind seeing him dead just like his brother -- carly : ok , you know what ? that 's enough . get out now ! john : carly , i 'm sorry . look , please come with me . i 'm just trying to protect my family here ! carly : you know what i 'm going to do ? i 'm going to call you . i 'm going to call you when we get michael back . do n't you touch me . john : carly , i love you . i love you . i 'm sorry . i -- i 'll be here if you need me . all right . sonny : do you want morgan away from me ? carly : i 'm going to let you make that decision . what do you think is best for our son ?

[ scene_break ] jason : you want to talk , you come to me . you do n't put carly in the middle . shawn : i did n't have a choice . theo had men waiting outside the bank where i kept the safety deposit box . things were starting to get ugly when the security broke it up . now , they gave me enough time to make off with the records , but theo 's not stupid . i did n't want to risk approaching you or sonny directly in case his men were watching . jason : did you find a lead ? shawn : well , i worked as a courier for theo . he would have me deliver documents to a holding company that theo had to set up in new york . but there were several subsidiaries . carly : that explains how theo was able to do business without anybody knowing who he was . shawn : yeah . theo may have leased space through the holding company or one of the subsidiaries . could be where he 's holding brenda . jason : this could help . thank you . shawn : like i said , i pay my debt . [ scene_break ] hugo : look , i do n't know where your wife is , i swear . sonny : she was in the van . where did you take her ? hugo : to the airport . dante : put her on a flight ? hugo : there was a car waiting by the entrance to the private plane area . i pulled up and the balkan , theo , and another guy got out . dante : how do you know ? hugo : what ? dante : how do you know it was him ? you said you only talked to him on the phone . how do you know it was him ? hugo : well , i did n't know it was him when i pulled up . and brenda was still unconscious and i helped him and another guy get her out of the van and into the car . and before they pulled away , theo rolled down his window and told me he would be calling me in the morning with my next assignment . that 's when i realized who he was . dante : where did the car go ? hugo : back into town . sonny : are you sure , or is that what theo told you to say ? hugo : look , i would n't lie to you , i swear . sonny : you better not . dante : then what ? hugo : i torched the van and walked away . i took a cab back into town . look , i do n't know where theo took your wife . i swear . [ scene_break ] theo : it 's safe . i assure you . i do n't need to go to the trouble of tainting a drink when you 're doing a fine job trying to kill yourself , wandering around in the cold wearing little more than a slip . brenda : well , it 's nice to know you care . theo : it would be a serious inconvenience for you to die while i still have some use for you . you can start by telling me who unlocked the door . brenda : go to hell . theo : i 've been treating you courteously and keeping you comfortable . but you know that can change at any time . brenda : what does it feel like to be insane ? theo : what does it feel like to be a liar ? your life depends on you being truthful . [ scene_break ] lucky : you know , there is a simple way to solve siobhan 's immigration issue . luke : oh , cowboy . do n't even say it . lucky : what ? say what ? green card marriage ? come on , dad . i mean , it 's a way to keep her in the country , keep her safe . luke : it 's not that simple . i mean , it 's not like just going down to city hall . immigration will check up on you , and you 'll have to stay married for a while . lucky : well , i do n't have any plans to marry anyone else in the near future . luke : do you love her ? lucky : what ? did you love tracy the first time you took a stroll down the aisle with her , huh ? luke : oh , hell no . all right . point taken . lucky : thank you . luke : it 's just really not that simple when you start living with somebody day to day . ask ethan . now , he and maya can say that it 's all about the money till they 're blue in the face . but it 's clear that things are getting complicated there . so my advice to you is proceed with caution . [ knock on door ] luke : yeah . siobhan : sorry to interrupt . do you have a minute ? luke : yeah . everything okay ? siobhan : uh , i 'm hoping so . this came by registered mail . it 's a letter regarding my visa extension . [ scene_break ] carly : the bleeding stopped . that 's a good sign . shawn : i told you i did n't need a doctor . carly : i can change a bandage , but i draw the line at sewing people up . your stitches were pulled loose . shawn : yeah . theo 's men did that with a couple of cheap shots . but i 'm still standing . carly : [ laughs ] you 're lucky that 's all that 's happened to you . shawn : it 's only a matter of time before theo tries again . carly : well , you 're safe here . and in the morning , you need to go to the hospital . you need to have that looked at . shawn : why do you care so much ? carly : 'cause at the wedding , you could have hurt me , and you did n't . shawn : well , like i said , taking hostages was never part of the plan -- at least not the plan i signed up for . make no mistake , i did sign up . i made the choice to work for theo , make money doing less than moral things . and i brought this all on myself and you . but i 'm not holding you at gunpoint anymore or threatening to kill you if you do n't patch me up . carly : i appreciate that . shawn : [ chuckles ] so why are you still willing to put yourself on the line ? carly : 'cause i 've done some pretty horrible things in my life , gotten myself in so deep i did n't think i could ever get out . i never would if someone did n't give me the benefit of the doubt . so i guess this is me paying it forward . shawn : so i 'm your good deed for the month . carly : i do n't make it a habit of doing favors for people . this is new for me . do n't screw it up . [ shawn chuckles ] [ scene_break ] lulu : hi . dante : what 's this ? lulu : well , you ca n't survive on coffee alone , so i brought you some chili from kelly 's . dante : oh . you brought two . does that mean you 're going to eat with me ? lulu : if you have a lot of work , i do n't want to ... dante : no . you know what ? i could totally , totally use a break . lulu : i just do n't want to bother you . dante : you ca n't bother me . ever . lulu : if you insist . dante : sit . i do . ahh . lulu : so , um , any leads on brenda ? dante : uh , yeah , actually . we got the guy who kidnapped her in custody , courtesy of michael . lulu : michael ? how 's he involved ? dante : well , remember the phone call i got from molly ? she was with him at kelly 's . she thought she saw one of theo 's guys . so michael followed this guy , thought he could get information on brenda 's whereabouts . and suddenly , he ended up looking down the end of a gun . lulu : oh , my god . is he okay ? dante : yeah . he 's fine . he actually disarmed the guy . but it was a stupid move . but try telling that to michael . lulu : so , i mean , was it worth it ? did the guy know anything that was helpful ? dante : well , he would n't talk to me , but then , sonny showed up looking for blood . so i let him talk to him , and he scared him a little bit . and then , then he talked . lulu : is that legal ? dante : look . as long as sonny 's not duct taping guys to some chair in a living room , i 'll take that as a win . lulu : wow . i 'm ... i 'm just happy that you found a middle ground with sonny and you were able to compromise instead of letting sonny compromise you . [ scene_break ] jason : hey . got your message . what happened ? sonny : i almost committed murder in the middle of the pcpd . the guy that dante brought in for questioning ? he 's the guy who drove brenda away in the van . jason : it 's not like theo to leave a loose end , especially one that 's going to talk to the cops . are you sure this guy 's telling the truth ? sonny : well , dante let me get in his face until he started talking . mac played along . the guy was so scared , he would have sold his mother down the river . jason : did he say where he took brenda ? sonny : to the airport , so he could trade off with theo . he 'd have put her on a plane , she 'd have been across the country . i never would have seen her again . apparently , he drove back into town ... jason : so brenda could still be here in port charles . sonny : i do n't care about territory or truces , 'cause i 'm going to tear apart this town brick by brick until i find her .

dante : it 's a 9 mm , the same kind of gun that sonny was seen with last night . alexis : do you know how many 9 mm guns there are in the state of new york , the county of port charles , a single city block ? dante : sonny went to the quartermaines ' and threatened anthony in front of his wife . alexis : a threat does not mean you follow through . dante : look , he also admitted to being at kate howard 's office , where this gun was found . alexis : i 'm assuming that you 've had the serial number traced on that gun . dante : the number 's been filed off . alexis : so , it 's unidentifiable . it could be anyone 's , right ? you know how many guns are purchased illegally that have unreadable numbers ? dante : what was it doing in kate howard 's office ? alexis : i do n't know . ask kate howard . ask maxie . ask someone at the metro court . dante : no one had sonny 's motive . alexis : do you think that he would be that calm if he had caused the death of an innocent little girl ? dante : i know that sonny has demonstrated in the past the ability to cover his guilt under pressure . maybe he 's doing that right now . maxie : [ sobbing ] it was just so horrible that robin died . lulu : i know . spinelli called me . he 's worried about you . maxie : no , he just ... he stopped by the office , you know . you know spinelli . he 's -- he 's always fussing over me , telling me to open up about my deep , inner feelings or whatever . lulu : well , he 's probably just worried that you 're not dealing with what happened . you loved robin . maxie : yeah . a lot of good it did her . lulu : what did you mean when you said you did something terrible ? maxie : honestly , robin , god . you can be so selfish sometimes . maxie : i keep going back to those last few moments in the lab with robin and ... lulu : you were there ? maxie : yes , and -- and maybe ... lulu : `` maybe `` what ? maxie : [ sobbing ] maybe if i had n't been there , robin would still be alive ! lulu : why would you say that ? maxie : [ sobs ] anna : you 're not making any sense . that 's perfectly understandable . we just lost our daughter . robert : and i just picked up a son . mac : and luke told you this out of the blue ? robert : well , he just found out from holly . anna : holly , the con artist ? robert : yeah , but why would she lie about this ? anna : i have no idea . i 'm sure she has her reasons . maybe she had a quarrel with luke and she wanted to hurt him . robert : just the opposite , as it turns out . she wanted to get him back , yes , but he 'd already bonded with ethan , and , well , i guess she finished up with nothing . mac : and holly finally told the truth ? anna : so , this is definitely possible ? robert : yeah , it 's possible . anna : okay , you ... you 've got to be careful . what we 're going through right now is -- there 's nothing worse for a parent than losing their child . robert : nothing 's ever gon na make up for me losing robin . but i ca n't give up . i 've got a son . mac : why did holly tell luke this now ? robert : well , so the story goes , ethan crosses helena , and helena wants to kill him . well , luke and holly fall on the plot , decide to try to find helena , she 's disappeared , kidnaps ethan , and i got to find him . holly : only one problem with your brilliant plan . ethan is your son . luke : yeah , well , robert does n't know that , and the timing works out . he told me that he was about to leave on a mission , you were very unhappy , there was a particularly passionate farewell . does any of this ring a bell ? ethan : so , wait , i 'm -- i 'm the result of not one , but two acts of infidelity now ? luke : dodge , look , i 'm very proud to be your father . i love you . you know that . nobody can take that away from us . ethan : except for your best mate , robert . luke : no , he 's not taking it away . you got a chance here to save a man 's life . holly : there are so many holes in this plan . luke : you got a better one ? ethan : how about no plan at all ? robert 's alive and well . let him fend for himself . luke : well , the problem with that is , with robin gone , robert does n't even see a reason to go on . ethan : but he 's not my responsibility , all right ? he 's your friend . you deal . luke : look , i just told him a version of the truth , that helena has a grudge and that she grabbed you . ethan : [ chuckles ] that 's nice . so , now you not only pawned me off , i ca n't even fend for myself ? luke : he was n't able to save his daughter . he needs to believe that he can rescue a son . ethan : while i stay out of sight . luke : yeah . stay out of sight from him and helena . that 's the beauty of this . this con saves both of you . ethan : only if i agree to play along . luke : look , i 'm handing you an opportunity here , a high - stakes challenge , the chance to outwit a member of a worldwide secret - service organization . holly : listen to yourself . robert 's not stupid . it 's only a matter of time before he finds out the truth . luke : yeah , well , hopefully in that time , the pain of losing robin will have eased . holly : he 'll hate you for lying to him about something so huge . luke : he has to be alive to hate me . mac : i 'm not sure about this , robert . luke and ethan , they 're cut from the same cloth . anna : what if holly is telling the truth and luke lied ? robert : why would he give up his own child ? anna : he would if he thought he was saving you . robert : [ laughs ] luke 's many things . altruistic is n't one of them . anna : yeah . i guess he would n't lie about that right now . mac : why do n't we question holly a little bit , run some dna tests ? robert : this is n't the time , mate . look , ethan 's in danger . i got to save him in a way that i could never save my daughter . i got to go . anna : our daughter 's funeral . lulu : robin would be alive if what ? maxie : you know me , lulu . you know how selfish and awful i can be . lulu : what are you talking about ? what happened ? maxie : i ... well , i - i - i interrupted robin while she was working on this therapy for jason , and she told me that `` i was busy , `` but did i respect her space ? no . of course not . i just went on and on about myself and my stupid boyfriend problems . lulu : okay , so you wanted robin 's advice ? maxie : yes , and -- and she told me that she could n't talk , but i - i just ignored her , and i -- and i told her that she had to help me fix this mess that i created . i mean , god ! how typical is that , you know ? robin was all worried about saving jason 's life , and i 'm worried about saving my love life . it 's like -- lulu : maxie , maxie , you -- you trusted robin . you wanted her help . that 's not awful . maxie : oh , god . no . it was . lulu : no , it 's not . maxie : god , you do n't get it , lulu ! i - i - i - i should have been paying attention ! lulu : to what ?

[ scene_break ] carly : so , uh ... how are you doing ? i mean , i know you and aj were n't seeing each other anymore , but still ... elizabeth : it helps that i have a job to do . carly : well , michael appreciates everything you 're doing for him . i have to say , if the positions were reversed , i do n't think i 'd be so generous . elizabeth : well , i 'm trying . i 've got to say , the past 24 hours has been one surreal event after another . first ric shows up , then this happens to aj . carly : ric lansing ? [ scene_break ] alexis : oh , so you went to see elizabeth . ric : she 's the only other ex - wife i have . alexis : all right , listen . i do n't know if you know this , but she has had a horrendous last five years . she lost her son , jason died , lucky left her , and as resilient as elizabeth is , she does n't need another heartache . so you might be doing her a big favor if you just left her alone . ric : whatever time i choose to spend with elizabeth is mine and mine alone , okay ? alexis : okay , i get it . i get it . i wo n't bring it up again . now , are you gon na defend julian or not ? because i really need to know . ric : okay , okay . just hold on a second , here . why does he need you to get him a lawyer ? does n't he have an entire brigade of attorneys ? alexis : well , probably so . but for some reason , he just trusts me . ric : oh , i think we both know what that reason is . [ sighs ] alexis : out of all the lawyers he knows , i am the most experienced to navigate port charles ' idiosyncratic justice system . ric : okay . okay , that 's fair enough . but next question -- why do you care , huh ? what vested interest do you have in seeing this man go free ? for god sakes , alexis , you had -- you had a one - night stand with this guy in the back of a ford pinto -- alexis : camaro ! ric : sorry , camaro -- when you were a teenager . you do n't owe this man a thing . alexis : he is sam 's father . that is all the explanation you are going to get . are you gon na defend him ? ric : how strong is the case against him ? alexis : he has an alibi . he wo n't give me a name , but maybe he 'll give it to you .

[ scene_break ] anna : we 're exploring a number of potential suspects . naturally , julian is amongst them , given the fact that he lives with his sister at the crime scene . do you know of any reason that julian would want to hurt aj ? morgan : no . anna : okay . so , when you worked for the jeromes , were there any business dealings between julian and aj ? morgan : no , but , you know , julian did n't exactly keep me up to speed on his business . guy did n't like me very much . anna : oh . so , then , you would n't know one way or the other if they had any issues ? morgan : right . yeah . they could hate each other , they could be best friends -- i do n't really know . all i can tell you is that ava did n't do it . anna : all right . what about sonny ? [ scene_break ] duke : so , what you 're saying is that you need an alibi ? sonny : we just need to get our facts straight . shawn : you know , just in case anyone asks where sonny was . duke : `` anyone `` being the police , for example ? well , what is the likelihood of the police questioning me ? sonny : well , the police are gon na ask me , and they 'll want to verify what i tell them . and whoever 's with me is gon na , you know -- they 're gon na have to back me up . whoever asks . even your girlfriend . duke : i see . sonny : i just need to know that we 're on the same page . if anna comes to you , you know , and asks you if you were with me , can i count on you to say yes ? [ scene_break ] morgan : wait , so , first ava 's a suspect , then julian , and now my father 's a suspect ? anna : they 're all persons of interest . but of the three , sonny is the one with the most extensively documented hatred of aj , especially after he was acquitted of murdering connie . morgan : right , which is why he would n't do it , because it 's way too obvious . not to mention , he promised michael that he would n't hurt him . anna : oh , he promised him ? yeah , i see . no , so , when was the last time you saw your father ? morgan : a few hours ago . i went to tell him what happened to aj . anna : and then , before the shooting , do you know how he spent his day ? morgan : i do n't know . you 'd have to ask him yourself . anna : i will . i 'll do that . morgan : okay . can i go now ? anna : yeah , you may . morgan : thank you . [ scene_break ] duke : so , if i am going to vouch for you , would n't it be better if i had some knowledge of the incident that 's going to elicit inquiries from the authorities ? shawn : we think it 's best you do n't know . you know , that way when anna or one of her detectives asks you questions -- duke : it wo n't appear as if i 've been rehearsed . sonny : shawn . give me a minute , will you ? i know i 've asked a lot of you , duke . duke : no , you asked me to lie to anna , and she caught me in the lie . we 've barely recovered from that -- barely . now what you 're asking me to do is to lie in a police matter . sonny : this is not about just helping me out of a jam . you do this for me , we will take down our enemy . duke : so , i lie to anna in service of destroying jerome . sonny : you just -- i just want you to think about it , okay ? let me know . i hope i can count on you .

[ sighs ] dr. mayes : the mri confirmed you have multiple brain lesions , which could indicate more than one tumor . tracy : tumor ? dr. mayes : the next step is to biopsy the mass to determine if it 's operable . depending on the outcome , we 'll choose the best course of treatment . tracy : and if it 's not operable ? what are my options ? dr. mayes : it 's too early to speculate . once we determine if the tumor is malignant , we 'll have a better idea of where we stand . tracy : so it could be cancer . monica : it 's a possibility .

lulu : valentin and nina are having problems . why should n't we use that to our advantage ? diane : because we do n't want to overplay our hand . nina 's absence in court is going to speak volumes . all we need to do is sit back , relax , and watch . [ scene_break ] valentin : when lulu filed for sole custody of charlotte , i took my time and did my research . i wanted to find an attorney who would give me the best possible chance of keeping my daughter . that 's supposed to be you . nora : i would n't be a very good lawyer if i misled you about your chances . all i 'm saying is , our best strategy is for you and your wife to walk into that courtroom as a united front . so , would it be possible for you and nina to put aside your personal differences to serve charlotte 's best interests ? [ scene_break ] laura : i have a proposition for you . nina : [ chuckles ] we should n't be speaking . you 're daughter is about to go to court with my husband . laura : yes . and i ca n't help but notice that you 're not at his side . you know , i - i do n't have anything against you . actually , we have quite a bit in common . i 've had my struggles , too , and i have lost years of my life that i ca n't get back . but look at you . you have n't let that keep you down . you 're the editor in chief of a national magazine . that 's pretty impressive . nina : you did n't come to compliment me . why are you here ? laura : i think i know a way that we can both have what we want . [ scene_break ] andré : jordan . what 's going on ? jordan : we got a report that julian jerome was found in the trunk of a car and was admitted . do you know where we can find him ? [ scene_break ] julian : she 's here , anna . she 's here , and she never left . anna : i - i do n't understand what you 're saying . julian : olivia . sh -- she wants this place . anna : julian ? wake up ! wake up ! you need to tell me where olivia is ! jordan : anna ! andré : easy there . anna : no . you were right . olivia is alive , and she did this to him . valerie : we know . we have a forensics team in the parking garage looking over the car now . jordan : and i 've got officers checking all the floors in the hospital . listen , anna , i promise you , we 're gon na get to the bottom of this , but you need to let us do our job and question julian . anna : i -- but he just told me . olivia is in the hospital . so you have to make sure she does n't escape . [ scene_break ] griffin : [ groans ] hello ? hello ? ! olivia jerome : oh , i 'm so glad you 're awake . i knew that little bump on the head was not gon na keep you down very long , because you are just like your father . griffin : you ? olivia : yeah . i 'm -- i 'm sorry i could n't explain before . i just did n't have time . they 're on to us . griffin : wait . who 's -- who 's `` they `` ? i do n't understand . you 're her , are n't you ? olivia : yes . i 'm olivia jerome . the person you 're going to spend the rest of your life with . [ scene_break ] dante : you okay ? lulu : trying to be . this case will affect the rest of charlotte 's life . just a lot at stake . diane : well , i have something that will sweeten the pot . dante : really ? what might that be ? the social worker 's report on her visit to your home . in particular , she notes how well adjusted rocco is . happy , healthy , loved . this is going to speak volumes about the kind of parenting that you will give charlotte . lulu : great . has the judge read that ? diane : well , i know she got a copy . i 'm gon na go talk to the clerk , see if judge rawles is the type who will read material beforehand . excuse me . lulu : you know , part of why i 've been fighting so hard for full custody , it 's not just because valentin scares me . it 's because i know that charlotte will have a fuller , richer , warmer life as a full - time part of our family . with you as her dad . dante : we 'll make that happen , okay ? lulu : okay . dante : now , wh - what 's wrong ? lulu : oh , it 's just that court 's about to start and my mom 's not here . where could she have run off to ? [ scene_break ] nina : why are you here ? laura : well , i know how much you have grown to love charlotte , and , uh , it 's clear that she feels the same way about you . and i actually think it would be a shame if she were to lose you from her life . nina : well , if valentin wins custody , that 's not an issue . laura : are you sure about that ? i mean , i heard that you and your husband were going through something of a rough patch . nina : wait a second . how 'd you hear that ? maxie . of course . laura : yeah . she texted lulu . nina : yeah . of course , she did . she should mind her own business . laura : knowing what i know about the cassadines , i , uh -- i think what 's happening now is that you 're beginning to question how much you really know about your husband . [ scene_break ] nora : valentin , do we have your wife 's support during this case ? valentin : there 's certain unchangeable truths about my past that nina 's going to have to accept . and she understands that . but it 's becoming increasingly clear that she 's uneasy with them . nora : i 'm thinking i should n't ask you to shine a light on that cryptic statement for me . valentin : i think it 's probably best that you do n't . nora : okay . well , it certainly would n't look good if she was standing by your side at the beginning of your trial , only to bail out midway . it would only reinforce lulu 's statements that your marriage was hasty and made for appearances only . valentin : which is why i told her to think about it , and to not show up if she 's not in it for the long haul . nora : [ chuckles ] see , where i come from , that 's called an ultimatum . my husband 's family , they deal it out far too often . i have to say , it does n't usually end well . [ scene_break ] alexis : lucas , any word on sam ? lucas : uh , yeah . she 's actually steadily improving . yeah , it 's good . i took a look at her chart . i think she 's actually gon na make it through this . hard part is probably just gon na be getting her to take it easy for a while . alexis : yeah , well , that 's not gon na be easy with a newborn . i ca n't believe that i almost lost both of them . lucas : yeah . alexis : do you know that i actually almost started to believe your father , for one split second ? then another huge lie . lucas : yeah . well , but how bizarre is that , though ? my aunt , olivia jerome , who julian allegedly murdered back in 1990 is now back for revenge . alexis : posing as my aa sponsor . lucas : wait , what ? alexis : never mind . i just want to think . i - i only care about my daughter right now . and that olivia jerome is far away . [ sighs ] [ elevator dings ] valerie : alexis , lucas . we were about to have dispatch contact you . i need you to come with me . [ scene_break ] andré : he 's regaining consciousness . anna : hey , julian . julian ! andré : he 's going to be in and out . he 's still severely dehydrated . julian : [ mumbles ] olivia 's furious ... that gray , he -- he botched it . anna : gray ? andré : fred gray is the board member who was pushing to sell the hospital . julian : yeah . jordan : wait , julian , are you saying that mr. gray and your sister were working together ? julian : no . no . he had no idea . olivia had me -- she had me broker the deal . anna : what on earth d -- you -- you mean she came back here after all these years to buy general hospital ? julian : she does n't want the hospital , anna . she wants what 's underneath it . [ scene_break ] griffin : what are you doing ? where am i ? olivia jerome : now , now . all these questions . we really do n't have time for all that , but i can tell you that we are at general hospital , and we are in the old cassadine lab , and , oh , yadda , yadda , yadda . it does n't really matter . you know , you 're about as exhausting as robin . griffin : where 's robin ? robin ! olivia : do n't worry about her . she 's fine . [ sighs ] it 's amazing . you look so much like your dad . you have that beautiful bone structure and those pretty eyes . did he ever ask you about me or tell you about me ? griffin : i never met my father , but anna told me plenty . olivia : do n't say her name ! do n't taint this place with even a whisper of that jealous shrew 's name . griffin : [ sighs ] olivia : can you feel that ? griffin : feel what ? olivia : it must be so hard for you to come to this hospital and work every day here where your father died . his soul is locked in these walls . griffin : my father 's soul is at peace . olivia : catholic ? griffin : priest . olivia : i was halfway around the world when i heard your father cry out to me after he died . he cried for vengeance . he was crying for justice . and he got none of those things . his killer is still walking around free . and his soul is -- his soul is ... locked in these walls . he wo n't be free of this mortal coil unless i help him to get a new life . griffin : what are you talking about ? olivia : he -- his soul will be lost forever if he does n't have a vessel to return to . and because of you , he has one . [ scene_break ] valentin : nina is , uh , passionate , she 's , uh , unpredictable , she 's impulsive . one of the reasons she asked me to marry her . and up until now , we 've been astonishingly happy , but now she is angry at me , and not without reason . so , i would hate for her to do something impulsive at the hearing , and i think it 's probably best that she stays in the office . nora : okay . okay , we can work with that . we can work with that . she 's a high- powered businesswoman , right ? she has certain responsibilities to her employees and financial ones to her new family , and did i mention what a good influence that is on young charlotte ? why , her stepmother is in charge of her own career , and is a role model for her . and as much as her heart is here with us today in court , she felt it was more important to honor her commitment to the staff at crimson . valentin : you really are the best , are n't you ? nora : eh ... i 'll do my best to dress it up . but i would feel a heck of a lot better if nina saw the light and was sitting beside you in court . [ scene_break ] nina : uh , laura , you should go right now . laura : here me out , nina . nina : y -- i 'm not gon na be disrespected in my office . you know nothing about me , valentin , or my marriage . laura : you 're right , but i do know an awful lot about the cassadines . i 've lived with them for years . nina : yeah , but valentin did n't . he -- he never grew up with that family . laura : but he wanted to . and now he 's the cassadine heir . you know , maybe it 's genetic . maybe it 's something in the blood , but cassadines use secrets as currency . they weaponize half - truths . am i correct in assuming that your husband has left you in the dark about something ? nina : that 's none of your business . laura : [ scoffs ] oh , nina . nina , no marriage has a guarantee of success , even the ones that start on solid ground , you know ? well , y - you might patch things up with valentin ... and help him to raise charlotte . and you might also wake up one day and realize that you have no idea who you 're sleeping next to in bed . and if you leave him then , i guarantee you , you will never , ever see charlotte again . if lulu gains custody of charlotte , i will use my influence to ensure your continued role in her life . nina : what do i have to do in return ? [ scene_break ] griffin : you 're insane . olivia : i 'm rather tired of people saying that about me . griffin : duke is dead . there 's no such thing as bringing people back to life . olivia : you disappoint me , father . every religion in every culture has a mythology about their afterlife and their resurrection . while i was in exile , i studied each and every one of them . now i realize that that very knowledge is what 's going to give me the opportunity to bring back the love of my life . when that flame goes out , that means duke has returned . griffin : look , i know that you loved duke very much . i know that it can be hard to accept the loss of a loved one . olivia : thanks . drink this . griffin : what is that ? olivia : it 's -- i - in the legend of meng - po , it 's actually called the unflavored tea of forgetfulness . a new soul can not enter a body unless it is cleansed . now , some say that this is a metaphor , but we do n't believe those simple minds , do we ? so , we need to take this beautiful , occupied body of yours ... and cleanse it , sort of like a factory reset , so that duke 's soul can return . griffin : i 'm not drinking that . i 'm not drinking that ! olivia : all right . while cooperation is , uh , not required . it 's appreciated , but ... okay . [ scene_break ] anna : underneath the hospital ? i do n't understand . what do you mean ? julian : uh , she wants -- anna : what ? julian ! oh ! andré : we 're replacing fluids as quickly as we can . you realize there 's a chance he has no idea what he 's saying ? anna : or he could be saying exactly what his sister told him . andré : was olivia jerome ever a psych patient here at gh ? anna : yeah . a 5150 hold back and everything , yeah . andré : well , she should have a record on file that i can access . anna : mm - hmm . andré : what do you think ? need a consult , for old time 's sake ? jordan : yes , thank you . uh , we could use all the help we can get . anna : all right . i 'll catch you later . andré : what do you think you 're doing ? anna : i 'm going to join the search for olivia . andré : well , that 's not a good idea . anna : well , do n't be ridiculous . i know how she thinks better than she does . i can find her . andré : anna , i know your diagnosis . you are in no position to be running around playing super - spy at the moment . andré : i am the most qualified to lead this search . and you 're also the most vulnerable . jordan : hey , i 'm sorry , what do you mean ? andré : [ sighs ] anna is on blood thinners . okay . listen , if you find olivia jerome , she is n't going to come quietly . if she manages to injure you , you could bleed out before help arrives . jordan : absolutely not , anna . anna : what ? jordan : do n't risk yourself . this hospital 's under full surveillance . olivia 's not gon na get away . anna : all right . well , thank you for your concern . i do n't answer to you , jordan . okay ? andré : anna . promise me you wo n't do anything reckless . [ scene_break ] griffin : what was in that ? olivia jerome : shh . relax . you are such a good son . you 're giving your father a second chance to live . he would be so proud of you . he would be . this will all be over before you know it . griffin : no . no ! [ scene_break ] anna : hey , robin , when you get this , there 's a situation at the hospital . i do n't want you to come here . i 'm fine . but i want you to remain at the house . i 'm sending an officer there to keep an eye on you . will you -- will you just ... let me know when you get this message ? okay ? i love you . alexis : will you please tell us what 's going on ? valerie : we have reason to believe there 's a threat in the hospital . we want to keep you safe here , where our base of ops is . lucas : wait . a threat ? what kind of threat ? anna : it 's all right . the pcpd have it under control . alexis : anna , what is going on ? anna : well , julian was attacked by his sister , olivia . um , he 's gon na be all right , apparently . but they believe that olivia is still here in the building somewhere . alexis : where 's julian ? anna : he 's -- valerie : i 'm on my way there now . lucas : now , hold on . where are you going ? alexis : i am going to give your father a piece of my mind . lucas : you know , i do n't understand what 's going on . why is olivia jerome in the building ? anna : i really could n't say . i mean , your father was n't making a lot of sense . he said something like , `` she wants what 's underneath the hospital `` or something . lucas : oh . anna : what ? what ? does that mean something to you ? lucas : well , it -- maybe . anna : what ? lucas : m - m - my father , years ago . tony jo -- the , uh , the one who raised me . anna : mm - hmm . lucas : he was blackmailed , you know , working in the lab that helena cassadine had built underneath this hospital . anna : you think it 's still there ? lucas : i do n't know , but i think it 's been sealed off . there was a fire in 2009 , and gh was completely renovated . it 's possible the fire destroyed the lab , also . i do n't know . i mean , i have n't heard anybody mention it in years . do you think this is something i should mention to commissioner ashford ? [ pager beeps ] anna : um , well ... lucas : you know , i 'm needed in the er . um , can i actually -- can i get back down there ? anna : oh , yes . no . i officially give you permission to go . yes , go . lucas : okay . all right . thank you . anna : oh , my god . that 's what olivia wants -- helena 's lab . [ scene_break ] diane : lulu , i need you to stay focused . lulu : i am focused . focused on the bastard who 's trying to keep my child from me . diane : all right . glare all you want right now . when the judge gets here , you can not appear vindictive . nora : what you 're doing right now , keep doing it , okay ? when the judge looks at you , i want her to see calm , stable . valentin : understood . nora : mm - hmm . by the way , i 've been doing some research on , uh , opposing counsel . she 's a master at introducing innuendo and rumor into the court record , and then referencing it later as fact . valentin : but you 're not gon na let her do that . nora : well , i 'm gon na try to cut her off as best i can , but i guarantee you she 's dug up dirt on you , and she 's gon na sling it . and when she does , do n't take the bait . clear ? valentin : crystal . nora : excellent . excellent . dante : everything 's gon na work out . all right ? we 're offering charlotte something valentin ca n't match . diane : lulu , i just need you to stay cool and let nina 's absence speak for itself . [ scene_break ] nina : lulu would never allow me to be in charlotte 's life unless she wanted me to do something in return . so , what is it ? laura : at the moment , neither lulu nor valentin appears to be a more qualified parent to raise charlotte . nina : except valentin is the father that charlotte knows and loves , and lulu is the woman who scares her . laura : okay , look ! my point is that they 're both offering her a stable home with two loving partners . all of that changes if you go in that room and you testify that your marriage is a sham . nina : w -- m - my marriage is shaky . it 's -- it 's not a -- a sham . i love valentin . our marriage is real . laura : nina , you 've only been married since new year 's eve , and you 're already fighting . oh , come on . do you really , really feel confident that your marriage can withstand any more bumps in the road after he gets charlotte , and he does n't really need you anymore ? nina : you 're -- you 're confusing me . you 're trying to -- you 're trying to play with my mind , and you 're trying to manipulate my feelings . laura : you 're right , nina . i am . and , look , i 'm not proud of it , but the truth is , i would do anything to give my daughter the opportunity to raise her daughter . at least i 'm being up front with you about this . and i swear to you , nothing i 've said to you here is a lie . nina : so you want me to stab valentin in the back ... after he 's done nothing to hurt me ? laura : if that were true , nina , you would be in that courtroom right now at his side . okay , look , you 're in control now , not him . you could go into that courtroom and testify on his behalf like a dutiful wife , or you could go in there and tell the truth and still keep charlotte in your life . [ sighs ] that 's all i 've got . please , nina , think about this . and , for charlotte 's sake , i really hope that i 'm gon na see you in that courtroom today . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] julian : doctor ? alexis : oh , i 'm not your doctor . but we are gon na talk . [ scene_break ] jordan : anything ? andré : sometimes when they scan the old paper files into the system , resolution is n't that great . oh , but here 's something interesting . jordan : what ? [ sighs ] andré : olivia jerome st. john was sent to ferncliff mental facility . jordan : well , that 's not surprising . for what ? andré : her brother -- not julian , the dead one -- tried to kill her . jordan : [ sighs ] hell of a family , that one . andré : quite the bloodthirsty gene pool . jordan : yeah . andré : olivia was briefly in a coma , and when she came out of it , she 'd reverted to a childlike state . jordan : what -- what does that mean ? andré : according to dr. hardy 's notes , she believed she was 7 or 8 years old . jordan : brain damage from the injury ? andré : uh , that was speculated at the time , but more recent studies dismissed that concept . nowadays , we recognize the type of psychosis described here as a response to emotional trauma . jordan : so , it 's kind of like the mind is retreating from reality then ? andré : basically . the mind is so distressed it is impossible to process some particular pain or loss . as a result , it latches on to a fantasy world it creates for itself . [ scene_break ] [ suspenseful music plays ] anna : someone 's been here . [ door opens ] olivia : duke , it 's me . i heard you calling . and i 've -- i 've prepared a vessel for you . you have to choose to live again . duke , you have to choose to live again ! i 'm waiting for you . we 're waiting for you . duke ? [ door opens ] [ footsteps approaching ] olivia : [ gasps ] duke , my darling ! [ scene_break ] lulu : hi . laura : hi . sorry . i 'm sorry . lulu : okay . are you okay ? laura : yes , i -- there 's something that i had to take care of , but i - i did n't mean to worry you . dante : it 's okay . no harm done . you got here just in time . valentin : laura . bailiff : please take your seats . judge rawles is ready to begin . judge rawles : good afternoon , everyone . i 'm judge rawles . this is a hearing in regards to the best interests of the minor child charlotte cassadine . let 's begin . ms. miller , does your client have an opening statement ? diane : thank you , your honor . she does . judge rawles : and you are mrs. lesley lu spencer - falconeri ? lulu : yes , your honor . judge rawles : okay . proceed . lulu : thank you . [ sighs ] when i found out i had a daughter i did n't know about , i felt a lot of different things . i was shocked . i was angry that this was happening to me . i grieved the time that i lost with my child . but more than anything , i felt this intense love , the connection that only a mother can have with her child , whether she 's raised her since birth or just met her . when i looked into charlotte 's eyes for the first time , before i even knew that she was mine , i - i felt the bond . so , when i found out that she was my daughter , i knew that i would fight until my last , dying breath to keep her with us . i can offer charlotte a stable home , a real family , with a little brother who already adores her , and a step - father who will love her like she 's his own . i did n't know charlotte for the first years of her life , and now i ca n't imagine a life without her . so i respectfully ask the court to please give me the chance to share that life with her , to be her mother , something she deserves to have , someone she deserves to know . [ scene_break ] anna : my god . you are alive . olivia jerome : and so are you . would n't be a reunion of duke and me if you did n't come crashing the party . anna : duke ? what ? all right . this stops now . you are coming with me . olivia : [ scoffs ] anna : do n't -- do n't -- griffin ! what 'd you do to him ? olivia : no need to worry . i 'm doing something for both of us . duke is coming back to us . and i 'm housing his spirit in the body of his son . anna : what ? olivia : so drop the gun now , unless you want both of their souls -- duke 's and his son 's -- to be lost forever . [ scene_break ] alexis : how long have you known your insane sister was alive ? julian : please , alexis . i wanted to tell you . alexis : maybe you should have . because then , maybe morgan would be alive , and maybe my granddaughter would n't have been born in the cold . julian : a granddaughter ? sam had a girl ? alexis : yeah . take that in . and then forget about it . because you are n't coming anywhere near my family .

[ gun slides on floor ] olivia : huh . you can be reasonable . griffin : [ groans ] [ grunting ] olivia : you bitch ! [ scene_break ] nina : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] valentin : i submitted an affidavit detailing the circumstances of charlotte 's conception . uh , neither lulu falconeri nor i were willing participants . when i learned there was an embryo , i was resolved that my child would be born and would grow up loved and safe , so i secured a surrogate . i was in the delivery room when charlotte was born , when she took her first breath . i - i dried her eyes when she was crying from teething . uh , her first steps were taken to me . and i was there for her first words . i - i think i have established with this court that charlotte knows me , loves me , and i am the one constant in her life . with all due respect , i think lulu falconeri is attached to the idea of charlotte . i think she sees her in the abstract , as a concept , as her daughter . but she does n't know charlotte the person . she does n't know her favorite song , she does n't know her favorite color , she does n't know what makes her laugh . well , charlotte 's not a possession . she 's a beautiful , vibrant , insightful , intelligent , sensitive little girl who needs stability and constancy . charlotte knows me , she loves me , she knows that she needs to be with me . and not for my sake -- god knows i 'd be lost without her -- but for hers . because this is charlotte 's life . this is her childhood . and charlotte 's needs are so much more important than mine . or lulu falconeri 's .

anthony : the part where you use her to pay sonny back for everything he 's done to us . johnny : she is not a sane person . anthony : yeah ! neither is corinthos . that 's the beauty of it . you saw what happened last summer . the man was running all over town with a gun in his hand . he shot off a round in patrick drake 's home . if sonny sees you and his precious kate making the beast with two backs , he 'll spiral out , leave himself totally vulnerable , and then we can take him down . johnny : i can think of a lot more ways to take sonny down that do n't involve taking advantage of a mentally unstable woman . anthony : hey , sonny had no problem taking advantage of claudia . johnny : [ scoffs ] you never gave a damn about claudia -- dead or alive . why start now ? anthony : john , we both know sonny killed claudia , as sure as if he 'd been the one swinging that ax handle . johnny : yeah , well , if i take advantage of kate and her mental instability , i 'm no better than sonny . anthony : how many times does a guy have to threaten to kill you before you shut him down ? johnny : the last time sonny threatened to kill me , it was because you tried to kill dante -- his son -- and you shot him instead . anthony : i swore to you that was not me in that parking garage . johnny : who else would target sonny 's kids ? anthony : dante 's not a kid . he 's a reckless , self - righteous cop , and i 'm sure that 's made him plenty of his own enemies . dante : so sonny went to the quartermaines , made some threats . so i went to kate 's office , looking for him , 'cause he was already a suspect , and that 's where i found the gun . lulu : were there any fingerprints ? dante : of course not . standard for sonny 's operation . he wipes the gun down , and you dump it wherever you can . lulu : yeah , but i do n't think sonny would dump the gun at crimson . have you talked to kate ? dante : no . i 've left her messages . she wo n't call me back . but i need to get a statement from her . lulu : and you 've arrested sonny ? dante : am -- am i crazy to believe after everything that he 's done that he did n't do this ? lulu : no , you 're not crazy . he saved your life . dante : he took a bullet for me . he would have died for me . but he -- he would also kill someone to protect me or any of his other kids . lulu : so , do you think that he went after anthony ? dante : [ exhales sharply ] it 's an easy way to get rid of someone -- shoot out their tires on a winding road . i can see that sonny would do that , but he did not know that there was a car in the oncoming lane . that does n't change what happened -- a father and his kid are dead . a mother , not much more than a kid herself , has lost her family . someone has to answer for that . todd : i know you 're upset at me , but i 'm your father , and you need me right now . starr : i do n't need you . i survived years without you , and it was hard at first . i learned to adapt . i 'll do it again . i do n't want you here . todd : i know . i heard that . starr : then why did you come ? todd : because , starr , with cole and hope gone , you need your family now more than ever . starr : we all know how much family means to you , right ? you only murdered your brother -- the man that i had come to think of as my father . todd : victor was never your father . starr : you 're not even sorry . todd : the only thing i 'm sorry for , starr , is what you 're going through right now . starr : i believed in you . i defended you . i agreed to help you , and you lied to me . todd : i did n't lie to you deliberately . starr : [ sighs ] todd : i did n't . starr : [ scoffs ] todd : i did n't remember ever killing victor . when you asked me if i was innocent , i - i thought that i was telling you the truth . starr : well , at some point , you did know and you kept on lying to me . todd : i did n't want to lose you . starr : too late . todd : come on . it 'll never be too late for us , shorty . come on . starr : stop . do n't call me `` shorty `` ! you are not sorry for what you have done . you 're just sorry that you got caught . todd : all the horrible things that have ever happened in this world -- if i could go back and change any of them , the thing that i would go back and change is what has happened to cole and to hope . i would bring them back to you . starr : but you ca n't . they 're gone . epiphany : we have a problem on the 10th floor . you did not just do that . carly : i do n't want any trouble with you , epiphany . epiphany : then take those scrubs off and get off my floor . carly : you of all people know how much jason means to me . he 's my best friend . if he 's gon na recover , he 's gon na need my help , and sam has no -- epiphany : i do n't care about your personal issues , okay ? i 'm not choosing sides here . but mrs. morgan says you 're banned from his room , so you 're banned . carly : you know what ? i 'm gon na remember your sympathy and your help when this hospital wants an endowment from me . epiphany : money is tight , and those scrubs are hospital property . so i 'm gon na escort you down to the locker room , where you 're gon na take them off . carly : no need . kate : do you have a habit of bursting into people 's offices , uninvited , and handing them a diagnosis ? ewen : anything you say will be confidential . kate : i have a psychiatrist . ewen : in chicago . i 'm here , and i 'm very good at what i do . why not let me help you ? kate : [ sighs ] all right . fine . i showed up to work in those clothes . i do n't remember buying them , let alone putting them on , and i would never wear anything like that . ewen : why not ? kate : because it 's not me . it 's -- it 's connie . ewen : who 's connie ? anthony : doing the deed with connie is a bloodless retaliation . no one gets hurt but sonny . johnny : and kate , because let 's assume she has no idea what her other personality is up to . anthony : hey , we both know the only reason you are n't jumping into bed with her is carly . johnny : i 'm not discussing carly with you . anthony : i get it . she 's a spitfire . but you know what this is , right ? johnny : you tell me . anthony : carly made a play to keep her son out of the business , right ? johnny : that deal was off the table a long time ago . anthony : carly 's sleeping with you for two reasons , john -- to protect her son and to piss sonny off , which is fine for her . i make no judgments . but you certainly do n't owe her anything like fidelity . johnny : believe what you want . anthony : i believe we need to hit corinthos where he lives , before he hurts us again . lulu : you know , you can get yourself taken off the case . dante : sonny said the same thing -- that i should n't be putting us both through this . lulu : so , why are you doing it ? dante : because i want to know either way . if he 's innocent , i want to prove it . if he did this -- if he shot out those tires and killed those innocent people -- i want to know that , too . lulu : seems like you 're always trying to prove something when it comes to sonny . dante : if people in this department want to think that i cover for sonny , let them -- lulu : no , no , no , no . that 's not what i 'm talking about . i 'm talking about you trying to prove something to yourself . dante : i - i do n't know what i 'm supposed to feel for my own father . lulu : you can feel conflicted . that 's okay . dante : he -- he thinks so differently . i mean , this guy eliminates his enemies . if i 'm looking at the evidence , he is guilty . [ footsteps approach ] delores : hey . we just got word kate howard is back in her office . dante : maybe she can tie the gun to sonny . lulu : or not . kate : my given name is constanza louise falconeri -- or `` connie , `` to my family , of which there are many . i grew up an only child , but i had an inexhaustible supply of relatives -- grandparents , aunts , uncles , cousins on both sides . i grew up in bensonhurst , brooklyn , which is where i met sonny , my boyfriend -- the one who got shot . ewen : where did kate come from ? kate : i was ambitious . i was a straight- '' a `` student , and i wanted to get out of bensonhurst , which i did . i got a scholarship to princeton , and that 's where i changed my name to katherine hardwicke howard . ewen : so connie is who you were back in bensonhurst . kate : mm - hmm . before i acquired any polish or understanding of style . yeah . tight . tough . this is how all the girls in the neighborhood used to dress , myself included . ewen : but you do n't dress like that anymore . kate : god no . not for years . ewen : but you came to work dressed in connie 's clothes ... that you do n't remember putting on . kate : why are you talking about her like she 's a separate person ? ewen : perhaps she is . luke : english and i were just having a little dispute . that 's all . holly : nothing new there . robert : a dispute about what ? holly : i just -- luke : she thinks that you 're possibly not up to the challenge of rescuing ethan . holly : i just ca n't believe , you know , with the amount of grief that you 're facing , that -- robert : i can get to helena , get our son , and i can bring him home . luke : i 'm gon na take another look around the house , see if maybe i missed any clues as to where she 's taken him . robert : luke tell you where he found me ? holly : i know how much you loved robin and how much she loved you . she would n't want you to throw your life away . robert : [ chuckles ] you know , i thought i understood what love was all about , until one day this little 6-year - old -- perky -- walked into my living room with a bow in her hair and changed everything . holly : she was a lovely little girl . robert : strong - willed , too . but , you know , it was n't till i heard her call me `` daddy `` that i really understood that i could love someone with everything that i am . at that moment , i - i 'd have given my life to spare her any pain . holly : it was an accident . there 's nothing you could have done . robert : good parents are there for their children , not missing in action like i was for half of her life . i 'm telling you , that is not gon na happen with our son . holly : [ sighs ] robert , i feel so guilty . kate : okay , what do you mean that she 's a different person ? ewen : it 's a possible explanation for your blackouts . kate : no , it 's not , all right ? i had my mind on other things . i put my outfit on without realizing what i was wearing . that 's all . ewen : has your psychiatrist in chicago referred you to a neurologist ? could your blackouts have a physical cause ? kate : no , he does n't seem to think so . ewen : then maybe connie 's the answer . kate : oh , well , please . look , doctor , people change their name in my business all the time . it has nothing to do with my difficulties . ewen : there 's a psychological condition known as dissociation , and we all experience it in one form or another . after a long day and you drive home from work , your mind wanders . you arrive in your driveway with no memory of getting there . kate : that 's right . that 's exactly it . i 'm not paying attention . i - i was n't paying attention when i went into my closet this morning . ewen : yes , but in more extreme cases , dissociation can lead to a form of amnesia -- blackouts . often , these states are caused by stress or a particular trauma . kate : so this is a reaction to sonny 's shooting ? ewen : it could be . in rare instances , when a person is unable to cope with stressful or traumatic situations , they subconsciously call upon another part of themselves . we call this dissociative identity disorder , where a completely separate entity emerges and functions on its own , as if it were a wholly -- kate : wait a minute . are you seriously suggesting that i have multiple personalities ? dante : hey , uh , can you do me a favor ? lulu : yeah . dante : remember when we were in the evidence room , we found the dust , footprints in there ? you gave me an idea . i went to the alley where delores was attacked , and i found prints . lulu : from the attack ? that was a few weeks ago . dante : yeah , i know it 's a long shot , but i - i think i might have found something . so , uh ... i got these prints . i took pictures of them . i 'm trying to upload them on the computer . when they 're done , could you get them to delores ? lulu : yeah . sure . um , you know , also , whatever you decide about sonny , i know you 're gon na do the right thing . dante : thanks . [ smooches ] you know , this girl -- she lost her family . i just -- i want to get this case done with and give her some closure , you know ? todd : i 've made a lot of mistakes in my life , and soon there will be a trial , and i will probably be held accountable for some of the things that i 've done wrong . but until that trial , i 'm gon na sit right here , and you can kick and scream all you want . you can do whatever you need to do . i 'll be here for all of it . you know , when all hell broke loose ... i was just so happy that you were n't anywhere near me . all i really wanted was for hope to have the kind of life that your mother and i could never really provide for you . starr : we should n't have tried to come home . we should still be in california right now . todd : when everybody was screaming and yelling at me about how i 'm so irredeemable [ exhales sharply ] i would take comfort in thinking about you in california with your family . you know , picture you at the beach with cole ... walking with hope between you , and she would reach up ... and grab each of your hands , and you would -- you would swing her up into the -- starr : [ crying ] please stop it . st -- todd : making sand castles . starr , you made something beautiful . you made something beautiful . starr : [ sniffles ] todd : she had your smile . starr : we did build sand castles together , and cole and i would laugh because hope took it so seriously . she would say , `` this is belle 's room , and this is the beast 's room . `` todd : it 's okay . starr : [ crying ] oh , i miss them so much . how can they be gone ? how can they be gone ? ewen : the blackouts you 've been experiencing -- the gaps in time -- it 's possible that you 've been doing these things as someone else , which is why you , kate , do n't remember doing them . kate : oh , i see . okay . so what you 're telling me is i 'm running around as connie , leading a double life . is that what you 're telling me ? ewen : how else would you explain the clothes , the memory loss ? kate : this is ridiculous . i am under stress . i - i 'm handling it , and i am fine . now please leave . ewen : you 're fine ? i - i think we both know that you 're not fine . as i said , these episodes could become more frequent . you need someone here to talk about what you 're experiencing . kate : well , i got to give you credit , doctor . this is a novel approach at drumming up business . ewen : you 're good at intimidating people , are n't you ? but if i 'm right about your condition , this is n't something you can handle alone . dante : oh . sorry . am i interrupting something ? kate : no , no . not at all , dante . dr. keenan was just leaving . ewen : call me . we can discuss this further . detective . dante : doc . everything okay ? kate : yeah , it 's great . i 'm just trying to get the magazine out . dante : well , i 'll try to make this as brief as possible . was -- was sonny here today ? kate : yes . dante : do you know around what time that was ? kate : uh , i do n't know . midafternoon ? what 's this about ? dante : does this look familiar to you ? johnny : i got one chance with carly . if i blow it , she may never come back . why would i risk all that on some cockamamie revenge plot that hinges on a mentally unstable woman ? anthony : sonny corinthos has dedicated his life to ruining ours . you think about when he humiliated you at that party . we may never get a better chance to repay the favor . besides , unstable or not , kate , or connie -- whatever the hell she calls herself -- is not hard on the eyes . come on , john . convince me you 're not the least bit tempted . [ knock on door ] carly : johnny , it 's carly . johnny : go upstairs . nobody can know you 're hiding out here . anthony : i 'm going . hey , do n't let carly make you forget your priorities . johnny : coming ! carly : you will not believe what just happened . todd : who was driving ? starr : cole . but the accident was n't his fault . we were talking , and we -- and he asked me something . [ voice breaking ] he asked me something really important . and he was waiting for my answer , and that 's when the headlights just came straight at us . todd : a drunk driver ? starr : no . he did n't seem drunk . he said it was n't his fault . todd : you spoke with him ? starr : when i got out of the car , i -- i tried to get cole out , but his leg was broken . so cole and hope were stuck inside . todd : what was the other driver doing ? starr : he was this older guy . and i - i begged to use his phone , because i could n't find my phone and cole 's phone was broken . i needed to call 911 , and he -- he let me do that . todd : okay . did he say anything else ? starr : he said that he -- he heard a car come and he got scared , because he said that someone was chasing him , that someone shot out his tires . todd : did he give a name ? starr : you 're the one that drove into our lane ! anthony : do n't blame me . blame the guy who shot out my tires . his name is sonny corinthos . starr : he said i should blame sonny corinthos . todd : s - sonny corinthos ? starr : corinthos . that 's -- that 's why i knew that guy 's name -- the guy that tried to get hope and cole out of the car . dad , i need to get to the police station . i need to tell them what i know . todd : no . it 's okay . starr : no . come on . we need to tell them . it 's -- todd : it 's all right . i 'll make everything all right . you just need to get some rest . dante : you ever see this gun before ? kate : no . dante : well , that 's interesting , because i found it right here in your office . kate : and you think it belongs to sonny because you found it here ? dante : has sonny ever had a gun like this ? kate : i 've never seen that before . what is this about ? dante : this gun was used to shoot out anthony zacchara 's tires last night . kate : well , it was n't sonny . dante : how can you be so sure ? kate : because , dante , if your father was gon na kill someone , he would make damn sure that the gun could n't be traced back to him , and he certainly would n't involve me in any way . dante : well , maybe it was an accident . maybe he stopped by to see you , got distracted , and dropped the gun . kate : maybe since we 're speculating , how about maybe it was planted ? dante : has anyone else been in the office today , kate ? kate : maxie . dante : okay . i was here when she arrived , and the gun was here before that . kate : have you talked to sonny about this ? dante : yes , i did . kate : and what did he say ? dante : he said it was n't his . someone left this gun here . is there anyone else you can think of that was in this office today ? robert : i just wish that i 'd gotten to know ethan all these years . we 'll deal with that later . right now , the most important thing is that we have a son and he 's in danger . holly : helena will kill him if she is n't stopped . robert : i do n't want you to worry . i 'm gon na do everything in my power to make sure that does n't happen . carly : you would think with all the money i 've given that place they would let me in to see my best friend . johnny : please slow down . is this why you could n't talk to me above a whisper earlier ? carly : i was trying to sneak into jason 's hospital room ? johnny : `` sneak `` ? carly : yes . sam has now decided that i 'm not allowed to see jason . johnny : well , she finally got sick of sharing her husband , huh ? carly : sam never told jason that robin was dead . sam wants to protect jason , only jason hates being protected . johnny : so you 're saying you know jason better than his wife does ? carly : are you really asking me that question ? johnny : my mistake . carly : jason and i have a bond , and i know how much he loved robin , and he would want to know how robin died and not be treated like he 's some incompetent who ca n't make his own decisions . luke : there 's nothing . the house has been swept clean . but among cassandra 's things , i did find a photograph of your son . so you 'll need it to know who you 're looking for . robert : [ exhales sharply ] he 's a good - looking boy . holly : yes , he is . robert : i ... see a lot of his mother in him . holly : he 's a true force of nature . i could see it the moment he was born . and then i saw it again when i met up with him all those years later . he had been living on his own since he was 15 . luke : he has tremendous potential , robert . a man could n't ask for a better son . robert : it sounds like he means a lot to you . luke : i love him . you will , too . robert : you know , the relationship does n't change just because -- luke : man , you 're his father . you get to know each other . that 's -- that 's important . you should do that . robert : i want to thank you for taking him in . i mean , the kid 's gon na learn a lot from luke spencer . luke : well , i think we learned a lot from each other . robert : i 'm sorry , luke . luke : no , no . this is gon na be great for both of you . robert : and what about you ? luke : me ? i 'm fine . i 'm gon na be in touch with lucky eventually , and i 've got this amazing , beautiful daughter right here in town . delores : hi . i did n't know you were still here . lulu : yeah , i had to run something to evidence room . delores : cool . lulu : um , dante wanted me to print these photos from the crime scene and give them to you . delores : oh , great . thank you . lulu : is it hard for you to work on this case after you were attacked ? delores : it makes me want to find this guy even more . lulu : huh . okay . that 's weird . delores : what ? lulu : the pictures should have been uploaded , but there 's nothing here . delores : oh , well , try sending them back from the phone again . lulu : well , there 's nothing here , either . delores : the pictures are gone ? lulu : something must have happened . did you see anyone around the desk ? delores : no . why ? lulu : well , these pictures did n't delete themselves . kate : is n't -- is n't there some kind of registration process , serial numbers ? dante : well , yeah , there used to be , but someone scratched it off , did n't want to trace it back to them . kate : well , dante , it looks like you got a difficult investigation ahead of you . dante : where are you going ? kate : i 'm going to see your father . he probably needs a friend after being grilled yet again by his own son . dante : he 's not at home . kate : what do you mean ? where is he ? dante : he 's under arrest . after anthony 's tires were shot out , he veered into oncoming traffic and killed a young father and his child . johnny : i 'm sure when jason wakes up he will want to see you , carly . carly : that 's what i 'm talking about . i do n't even know if jason 's woken up . i do n't know . everyone 's saying that the procedure went right . i do n't know if they 're telling the truth . what if jason died and i never got a chance to tell him how much i love him ? johnny : no matter what happens , jason knows that you love him . carly : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i -- oh , god , i did not come here to complain . wow . johnny : it 's okay if you did . carly : i just , um , wanted to see you , and i do n't really know why . johnny : does n't have to be a reason . you know , i would have liked to have seen you in those scrubs . carly : [ laughs ] oh , gosh . well , i was busted by epiphany , and she was not happy . johnny : i can imagine . carly : yeah , it was quite a scene . she threatened to call security , and i , uh , threw the scrubs in her face and walked out of the hospital in nothing but my bra and underwear . johnny : wow . there 's something i would have liked to have seen . carly : yeah ? johnny : yeah . kate : i need to see sonny . dante : he 's not being arraigned until tomorrow . kate : this is not right , dante . sonny did not do this . dante : i want to believe that , too . kate : no , no . no . i know . i was with him from the second that he left the hospital . dante : after he was treated at the hospital , kate , he went straight to the quartermaines , where he threatened anthony 's life in front of a witness . do n't lie for him . you make him look even more guilty . kate : your father saved your life last night . have you forgotten that ? dante : you keep coming up with stories like this , you 're gon na wind up in a cell next to him . carly : thanks for listening to me and ... talking me down . johnny : anytime . carly : i 'm gon na hold you to that . anthony : too bad she had to get home to the kid . it could have been a fun night for you . johnny : if you got something to say , say it . anthony : just that it 's not easy dating a mom with a young kid . i mean , she has to leave to change a diaper , and you 're stuck here all hot and bothered . johnny : stop -- now . anthony : i know a good way for you to let off a little steam . her name 's connie . give her a call . dante : did you get those photos printed out ? lulu : um , yeah . well -- i do n't know . i must have done something , because the file is empty . dante : they were uploading when i left . lulu : i know . and then i - i went to the evidence room , and when i came back , there was nothing -- no photos on your phone or on the computer . dante : did you delete anything ? lulu : no . that 's what 's crazy , is i upload pictures all the time at home , and i used to do it for the magazine , and nothing like this has ever happened before . dante : okay . okay . this is weird , because everything before the alley is still there , and everything after the alley is still there . lulu : so you think it was deliberate ? dante : yeah , i do . i think while you were in the evidence room , someone came over here and deleted the photos of the footprints . lulu : why ? who would do that ? starr : mom 's on the phone with john , trying to track down cole 's parents . she 's going to be back here any minute . she 's not gon na be happy to find you here . todd : your mother knows that i 'm here . starr : she saw you ? todd : yeah . she 's -- she 's a little cranky . starr : you 're out on bail . you 're not even supposed to leave llanview . i 'm surprised she has n't turned you in already . todd : you do n't need to worry about this , okay ? really . starr : dad , please . do not get into a fight with mom . it 's not what i need right now . todd : i 'm not going to . i love you . [ smooches ] todd : please get some rest . do n't you worry . sonny corinthos is n't gon na get away with hurting my family . robert : i 'll call you , though , when i find out anything . holly : oh , that wo n't be necessary . i 'm going with you . luke : you sure you want to do that ? robert : i usually work alone . holly : i 'm his mother . i 'm not gon na sit around waiting for you to call when i can be helping you find him . robert : i know better than to argue . i 'll make preparations . luke : [ inhales , exhales deeply ] so ... robert : so ... luke : thank you for doing this . robert : about what happened back there on the bridge -- luke : look , robert , you and i have always lived on the edge . gravity 's gon na take us down soon enough , old son . just promise me you 'll stay off ledges , rooftops , and cliffs . robert : i want you to take care of anna for me . i hate it that i 'm leaving her to grieve alone . luke : i 'll keep an eye on her . are you sure you want to join this wild - goose chase ? holly : well , someone 's got to keep an eye on robert and slow him down and make sure he does n't find out that we 're lying to him about ethan . luke : well , take him to cairo . and when he discovers that helena is not anywhere around there , just haul him off to australia or somewhere . are you sure you 're up for this ? holly : robert needs this , and i need to know that ethan 's safe from helena . luke : we are doing the right thing . holly : are we ? luke : well , you said yourself robert needs this . holly : yeah , but what about you ? you 're going to have to tell everyone , including your children , that ethan is n't your son . luke : i know the truth . so does ethan . that 's all that matters . holly : i just hope this decision does n't come back to haunt you . | carly and todd manning go to general hospital dressed as orderlies so they can sneak in to see jason and starr . epiphany catches carly and tells her those scrubs are hospital property . carly takes them off right there at the triage station . starr tells todd to get out ; she wants nothing to do with him . he refuses to leave her side . she tells him about the accident and remembers the other driver telling her to blame sonny corinthos . she realizes that is michael 's last name . she wants to go to the police station but he tells her to rest and he will take care of everything . lulu suggests that dante take himself off his father 's case . dante asks lulu to upload and print the crime scene pictures from his phone but they are mysteriously deleted before she can upload them . she tells dolores that the pictures could n't have deleted themselves . dante determines that someone deleted them intentionally . |

[ scene_break ] paul : has robert made any progress in his search for carlos ? anna : we 're sharing information now , are we ? paul : it 's in both our best interests . anna : i suppose . uh , yeah . robert managed to track carlos and sabrina from toronto to the grand keys , and they stayed there a few days , then they went on to london . after that , nothing . paul : you knew sabrina better than i . was there some reason she might bring her child to england ? anna : i would assume that she 'd prefer to go to puerto rico , be close to her family . carlos might be using london as a jumping - off point . you know , maybe establish new identities . that 's gon na be expensive . paul : an astute analysis . you clearly know your stuff . anna : are you buttering me up for something in particular ? paul : no , i 'm actually offering you a genuine compliment . it 's nice . i 'm happy that we 've arrived at a new point . anna : we have , have we ? paul : i 'm not hiding my work with the justice department anymore . we can now work openly and honestly with each other . my admiration grows for you by the day . anna : that 's very kind . sadly , i still do n't trust you as far as i could throw you . [ scene_break ] dante : what ? lulu : you took your wedding ring off . dante : yeah , you took yours off , too . lulu : mm - hmm . thought it was time . the divorce is final . we 're not married . dante : yeah , now we want to get back together . lulu : it 's crazy , right ? dante : it 's not crazy . i love you , and i want to rebuild this . and i want -- i want us to spend the rest of our lives together . lulu : so do i . okay ? but we ca n't rush it . we ca n't just pick up and act like everything did n't happen . dante : okay , well then , uh , how do we -- how do we get back to -- to the good that was us ? how do we trust each other again ? lulu : stop blaming , start forgiving . dante : okay . lulu : okay . dante : i 'm all for that . lulu : okay .

[ scene_break ] paul : i - i thought we 'd reached an understanding . anna : well , you 're mistaken . no , as far as i 'm concerned , nothing has changed between us . paul : really ? anna : mm - hmm . paul : i told you why i killed sloane -- that it was n't some random part of an evil plot , but as revenge for how he tormented my daughter , susan . that 's something . anna : i suppose . paul : you also said that you were going to tell jordan everything and have me arrested , but you did n't . that 's something , too . anna : just because i know that you 're undercover in the justice department , it does n't change our relationship in any way . really , the only reason that we 're still talking is because i need you in order to bring carlos back here to face charges . paul : even if it leads to charges against you and me ? anna : yeah . paul : look , i 'm in no rush to -- to -- to punish myself for killing sloane -- something that most people would agree was a bit of a public service , but what about you , anna ? do you think it would bring duke any peace to know that the only way that you could see your granddaughter and your daughter was to have them visit you in prison ? anna : i 've told you a thousand times . carlos is the means to an end . julian is the one who ordered the hit on duke , so this does n't end until he is in a prison cell . if you and i wind up in one , too , then ... so be it . paul : what would you say if i told you there was another way ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : after everything jason and i went through , no matter how badly i wanted it or how hard i tried to keep it , you and i both knew i was gon na end up heartbroken and alone , and here i am . nikolas : i ... am very happy with hayden . is it a traditional romance ? no it is not . but i love her and she loves me . elizabeth : okay . i 'm sorry . you 're right . no two relationships are the same . and if you 're happy , then i 'm happy . really . and that first edition `` great gatsby `` is -- that was a very thoughtful gift . and i do wish you both well . nikolas : thank you . so , uh , how are you and the boys ? you doing all right ? elizabeth : yes . uh , they are settled in and fast asleep . i ca n't thank you enough for letting us stay here . it sure is gon na make things -- no , thank you -- easier just having a home base before i know where we 're gon na end up . but you have to tell me , really , if it just gets to be too much , 'cause i know wyndemere is ginormous , but having rocco and spencer and my three boys , that 's -- that 's a lot of kids running around . nikolas : no , no . hang on . look , look . what 's the point of having a big house like this if you ca n't share it with family and loved ones ? elizabeth : okay . thank you . and again , i 'm -- i 'm sorry the first thing i did was warn you about your wife . obviously you love her , and if hayden makes you happy , then i support it . nikolas : thank you . and yes . i am happy with her . bye . okay . [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] nikolas : sam ? sam : nikolas . nikolas : what 'd baxter tell you ? sam : well , not as much as i wanted , but it was still worthwhile . i showed him a picture of hayden . of course , i called her rachel , and he pretended not to recognize her . nikolas : well , i do n't know why he 's covering for her , but i ca n't say i 'm surprised . sam : well , he then excused himself from the table to make a phone call . i got ahold of that number , and i called it myself . nikolas : and ? sam : so i called the number and this woman picked up , and i lied and said i was a friend of rachel 's and she hung up on me . and by the time i ran a trace on the number , it was disconnected . i think it 's a solid lead . it 's not gon na be easy , but i -- nikolas : sam , stop . sam : why ? nikolas : it 's over . i want you to drop the case . [ scene_break ] [ both breathing heavily ] lulu : stop . stop . dante : what ? what ? lulu : sorry . dante : you ca n't -- you ca n't do that here , right ? lulu : i am sorry . i - i - i thought things had changed for me , but they have n't . dante : okay . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] anna : do i really want to know what kind of scenario you have concocted so that we can both go free ? paul : it 's a good plan . anna : really ? paul : in exchange for his testimony against julian , carlos will go free . now , now , i know this is not ideal , but as you 've said all along , carlos was just the trigger man . julian will be brought to justice . anna : you honestly think that carlos is gon na stay mum about me shooting him and you killing sloane . paul : as a condition of his immunity , yes . anna : what an altruistic plan you 've come up with to help me , paul . paul : in a perfect world , would you have arrested carlos instead of shooting him four times and have him face a jury of his peers ? yes ! same with me and sloane . but we did n't . life is n't always neat and tidy , anna . sometimes you have to make a mess to make things better . [ scene_break ] hayden : what ? curtis : hayden ... i 'm trying to help you . hayden : i do n't need your help . i 'm not in trouble . curtis : i just watched you down two stiff drinks in five minutes . now , what 's that about ? look . you left metro court like somebody was chasing you . now you just said your past was catching up to you . i 'm almost positive you need my help . hayden : right . for a price . curtis : i 'm a working man , a proud capitalist . no shame in my game . hayden : [ chuckles ] curtis : but if you 're in trouble , legit danger , it 's on the house . hayden : why ? if i do n't pay you , what 's in it for you ? curtis : hayden , how many friends do you have in this town ? hayden : spencer likes me . curtis : nikolas ' son . the little guy ? you 're better off than me , because besides you , i got no one . hayden : you should look for other work , because i can take care of myself . and secondly , we 're not friends . curtis : does your husband know about this past that 's chasing you ? is that why you 're so freaked out ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : sam , are you there ? sam : yeah , i 'm just surprised . why do you want to close the investigation into hayden 's past ? you 're the one who came to me . i 'm finally making progress , and now you want to call it quits ? nikolas : yes , i changed my mind . there 's really nothing else to say . sam : you said you needed to know the truth for spencer 's sake . nikolas : yeah , well , we all have our secrets , sam . i do . you do . if this is one of hayden 's , it really makes no difference to me . sam : i 'm telling you , something is there . i know baxter 's lying about knowing hayden . nikolas : let it go . sam : this rachel connection could mean anything . what if hayden is in trouble ? what if you have to help her or protect your son from whatever trouble she can bring you way ? nikolas : whether you agree with my reasons for ending the investigation , i 'm telling you it 's over . thank you for your help .

[ chuckles ] let 's get a swing set for rocco , and you can have an herb garden and a fence and get a dog . lulu : what about for you ? dante : do n't worry about me . i 'm -- i want my family to be happy . lulu : no way . dante , if we are moving forward , then we are going to speak up . for instance , there is no way in hell i want an herb garden . okay ? i - i - i kill plants by looking at them . dante : all right , then . i want a basketball hoop . i want to have my brothers over . i want to play ball with them and my dad . maxie and nathan over for barbecues . my mom , your mom ... hell , you can even invite your brother if you want to . lulu : [ chuckles ] i do n't think that nikolas barbecues . dante : okay . lulu : or plays basketball . dante : all right . and we are gon na need another bed , so i want us to have a king - sized bed that we both pick out together . lulu : that sounds really good . i want a home with you , with our friends and our family around . dante : consider it done . lulu : yeah , but we 're not done . we 're not done healing . we just got divorced . dante : [ laughs ] i know that . but we can find a way back . lulu : yeah , we can . i 'm just not sure that we can do it on our own . we need help . [ scene_break ] jordan : okay , uh , now that we both have our food , you mind telling me why this might be our last conversation ? andré : well , our last couple of encounters have n't gone that great . then there 's the whole morgan corinthos situation . you wanted to book him . i wanted to get him treatment . jordan : well , our work lives , they 're gon na -- they 're gon na intersect . it 's -- it 's -- it happens . andré : yeah , true , which is why i brought the food and wore the hat . jordan , there 's so much more to me than just work . jordan : i know that . andré : do you ? because on our last date , you accused me of trying to shrink you . that really was n't my intent . i 'm just trying to get to know you . but again , if i made you feel that way , i am sorry . jordan : no , um ... the curtis situation , it 's -- it 's a little sensitive . and you 're right . i probably owe you an apology for overreacting . andré : probably . but i could also work on how i ask questions ... try to make sure they do n't sound too clinical . jordan : no , you 're fine . i mean , the questions you asked are fine , andré . i just ... i did n't really want to hear them . my history with curtis , it 's , um -- it 's difficult to talk about , i guess . andré : okay , well , i 'm not going to push . if and when you 're ready to tell me about him , that 's your call . jordan : okay . [ clears throat ] look , i did something that i regret ... and curtis , he -- he made a point to -- to intervene . and what he did -- it ended up destroying people 's lives .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : why are you having sam investigate hayden ? nikolas : if -- if you heard me say that i was investigating hayden , you also heard me tell sam to stop . okay ? the investigation is over . there 's really nothing to discuss here . elizabeth : there was a time when the only two people in the world we could trust were each other . i 'm not dropping this . it 's pretty clear you do n't trust your brand - new wife . nikolas : enough . even our friendship has its limits . elizabeth : when you told me jake doe was really jason , and that if i kept it secret it 'd blow up my life , you told me because you cared about me , right ? nikolas : did you listen ? elizabeth : no , but i wish i had . maybe things would 've been different . but , nikolas , please , i 'm just asking you to learn from my mistakes , because denial does n't fix anything . nikolas : i 'm not in denial . elizabeth : yes , you are . you do n't trust hayden . and now i just got to know , why did you marry her ? [ scene_break ] paul : well , you have n't refused me outright . i 'll take that as a good sign . anna : you are assuming that carlos is gon na keep his mouth shut about this . you do n't think that he 's spoken to sabrina by now ? paul : what difference does it make ? if they 're both traveling together , would n't it stand to reason that she would want to keep the father of her child out of jail and encourage him to play ball with me ? anna : i do n't know , you might trust carlos , but i sure as hell do n't . julian can get to him , rattle his cage . paul : julian 's not looking for carlos . as far as he 's concerned , carlos is dead . now , we can have carlos back in port charles and get his testimony before julian even knows what 's happening . anna : not that you have any idea where carlos is , of course . i mean , we tracked him to london , but then after that , we lost him . paul : well , being on the run and caring for sabrina and her baby -- sooner or later , carlos is gon na reach out for someone 's help . anna : sabrina would want to go to puerto rico , but her associates are being watched , so i guess the only person they can reach out to ... is you . is that how they got to london in the first place ? you arranged it . you paid for it . okay , i 'll take that as my answer . wow . so when they run out of money , paul , they are going to call you . is that it ? paul : carlos is not looking to get rich . he wants his freedom , and i can make that happen . anna : if carlos contacts you , then your first call is to me . is that understood ? paul : you 're often my first call . anna : no . this -- this is n't a game . if you want to be partnered with me on any level , then you have to honor our agreement and our trust . paul : i understand . anna : do you ? 'cause a partnership is equal . paul : i look forward to proving myself to you . anna : i have a lot of information on you , paul , that can make your life very miserable , so do n't even think about playing me . paul : i do n't play , anna , in regards to business ... or pleasure . i take both extremely seriously .

[ sighs ] [ knock on door ] jordan : see , i was wondering when you were gon na come back for y -- [ scene_break ] nikolas : yes , my relationship with hayden is -- is very complicated , but what -- you know , what relationship is n't ? why should it matter if you 're in love with that person ? you should know that , of all people . elizabeth : okay , i 'm gon na tell you this as your best friend and because i love you , and because i saw how hurt you were by britt . and i do n't want to see this happening to you again . nikolas : [ sighs deeply ] elizabeth : but if you 're at the point of already having hayden followed . nikolas : i 'm not having her followed . elizabeth : oh , i 'm sorry -- investigated . bottom line , you 're paying someone to find out why you do n't trust her . and it 's not like we do n't already know . i mean , she came to port charles lying , and i 'm sure she still is . my advice to you is to get out before it 's too late . tell hayden it 's over and show her the door . hayden : excuse me ? elizabeth , i need to speak to my husband . now . elizabeth : i know what a lie can do to a relationship . hayden : you certainly do . elizabeth : when i come back , if i 'm still welcome , i will make sure the boys stay out of your way . hayden : is it true ? are you having me investigated ? nikolas : i was . but i called it off . hayden : why , because of what you found out ? nikolas : no . because of what i did n't . [ scene_break ] lulu : i think it would be a good idea to bring a third person into our dynamic -- an objective third person , not like the people we 've been leaning on . we 've been talking to all these other people and not confiding in each other . dante : yeah , you 're totally right . if we 're gon na fix this , we have to ... not make the same bad habits happen again . lulu : exactly . right , there 's no shame in admitting that we need some professional help . dante : we 're just working on us , you know , so we do n't make mistakes again . lulu : i do n't think that counseling will be easy . i think it 'll be really hard work , but it 'll be worth it . dante : it 's okay . i think so , too . lulu : we just need to work on the things that brought us back here tonight . dante : i 'm on board 100 % with everything you 're saying .

[ cell phone rings ] paul : carlos . were your ears burning ? [ scene_break ] jordan : what are you doing here , curtis ? curtis : i just had a conversation with somebody about the past ... and how it always manages to creep back up on you , and i was reminded of that silly - ass stunt you pulled the other day . jordan : what stunt ? curtis : telling people for no good reason that i got a drug addiction when you know good and well i 've been clean for a while . jordan : curtis , i did n't tell people . i told one person , okay ? and that person happens to be important to me . curtis : save it . okay ? i ai n't trying to hear that . look , here 's the deal . you do n't want me in your business , then stay the hell out of mine . you do n't need to talk about me . you do n't need to talk about my past . keep my name out of your mouth , and i 'll do the same . after all , we both know you got plenty to regret . now , with all due respect , ms. commissioner , you keep your mouth shut , and so will i . thank you . [ scene_break ] hayden : you had me investigated . nikolas : yes . hayden : and then you stopped , because of what you did n't find ? nikolas : i know that there 's more to this rachel story than what you 've told me . okay . but i do n't care . i love you , and i know you love me . and someday , when you 're ready , uh ... you can tell me the whole story . hayden : just like that ? nikolas : when i was in the hospital after the fall , we agreed that we trusted each other , right ? i mean , i asked you to marry me , and -- and you did . tonight , when you gave me this beautiful gift -- and it really is beautiful -- i felt sick to my stomach knowing that i was prying into your past , investigating something that happened before i even met you . i do n't know . it 's -- we 're -- we 're -- we 're here . today , together , we 're -- we 're happy . right ? right ? so i - i - i told sam to drop it , and i 'm asking -- i 'm asking you to do the same , so we can just be happy together . hayden : well , what did sam tell you ? nikolas : nothing . she told me nothing , because there 's nothing to tell . i 'm just sorry that i ever put it into motion . hayden : thank you for believing in me . nikolas : thank you for not getting angry at me about it . i hope you 're not . hayden : well ... i 'm not thrilled to hear elizabeth 's opinion of me , given that she and her pack of boys have moved in and they 're gon na stay for god knows how long . nikolas : look , i - i 'll make sure that elizabeth is clear about the situation . i 'll see to it that you see her and her boys as little as possible . i love you . you 're my wife . my priority . [ scene_break ] sam : i can not catch a break . elizabeth : we need to talk . sam : okay . what do you want ? elizabeth : hayden . sam : hmm . elizabeth : i 'm staying at wyndemere , and i overheard nikolas talking to you about investigating her . sam : okay . i think that 's something you should probably discuss with nikolas . elizabeth : i also heard him telling you to drop the case . that would be a big mistake . 'cause that woman is trouble , and nikolas stands to get hurt . now , i know you may think that he deserves it , but spencer does n't . all that kid wants is a mother . he 's looking for a mother and he wants a family , and if , like i think , hayden has an agenda and this all blows to pieces , the person who 's gon na end up with the biggest broken heart is spencer . and the longer this goes on , the worse it 's gon na be . so if any of this matters to you , you 'll keep investigating .

[ scene_break ] anna : [ panting ] olivia jerome : they say good things come to those who wait . i 'm so glad they 're right . it 'll be wonderful to have you dead . griffin : olivia . olivia : can it be ? griffin : yes , olivia , it 's me -- duke . olivia : after all this time . it worked . griffin : yes , it did . you brought me back . olivia : [ laughs ] griffin : because of you , i live again . [ scene_break ] michael : it 's been a long day . i just want to go home . sonny : i do n't expect you to say all is forgiven , michael , i just ... as your father , can you just hear me out ? michael : okay . sonny : we have n't talked since ... michael : since mom and i found out you slept with nelle ? sonny : right . and what 's forgotten is you 're hurting , too . michael : nelle and i were n't together . sonny : well , i know , but you cared about her , michael . michael : [ sighs ] yeah , we were getting close . or at least i thought we were . [ sighs ] like i said , we 're not together . she does n't owe me anything -- even honesty . in a way , neither do you . so , hey , if you want to apologize to anyone , it should n't be me , okay ? it should be mom . [ scene_break ] carly : so , are you going back to atlanta or all the way to florida ? nelle : you know , that 's none of your business . carly : i do n't really care . i just want you out of my life . nelle : oh . carly : but first , i want to know -- those lies you were spewing , did you make those up yourself or did that deadbeat frank benson tell them to you ? nelle : you know , carly , i really do n't owe you an explanation -- or anything else , for that matter . but if he was such a deadbeat , why did he keep this ? hmm ? carly : where did you get that ? nelle : he kept it with him . he wanted something of yours , so he could always have a part of you with him . carly : oh , my god , is that what he told you ? that is garbage . the only reason he kept that rattle would be the same reason he took virginia 's engagement ring , the same reason he took her heirloom silver tea set -- to pawn it . he probably could n't get any money for the rattle or he forgot he had it . but i can tell you right now , frank benson did n't give a damn about me till i was grown up , married , and rich . [ scene_break ] nora : it appears your wife is going to speak on your behalf . valentin : i hope so . lulu : this is a disaster . laura : maybe not . dante : well , the advantage that we had was that we could offer charlotte a home with two parents . laura : [ remembers ] you could go into the courtroom and testify on his behalf , like a dutiful wife . or you could go in there and tell the truth and still keep charlotte in your life . please , nina , think about this . [ back to present ] laura : i have faith that things will work out the way they 're supposed to . judge rawles : you may proceed . nina : again , i apologize for being late . i felt it was best to appear in person and tell the court ... the truth about my marriage . [ scene_break ] anna : griffin , what are you doing ? you need to stay away from her . griffin : shh , shh , shhh . anna , stay out of this . i owe my life , my return , to olivia . olivia : but there was more tea to drink . there were more incantations to say . griffin : your passion was enough to draw me back . you 've always been such a strong woman . [ gasps ] you did it . you proved everyone wrong . you brought me back . olivia : duke ... griffin : ca n't you see it 's me ? duke : i 'm back . olivia : duke ... it 's you . [ scene_break ] jordan : i do n't understand what olivia could possibly want with the foundation of the hospital . i mean , does she think something 's buried down there ? julian : i have no idea . but she was willing to lie , cheat , steal , kill , whatever she needed , to get it . she 's obsessed . jordan : well , yeah , i mean , everything in her psychological profile says that she was obsessed with duke lavery . i mean , he was the motivating factor in almost all of her crimes . the only doctor that we were n't able to account for tonight is d -- is dr. munro . do you think duke 's son could be in danger ? julian : well , olivia knows that he 's lavery 's son , so absolutely . [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : i knew it would work . oh , i researched for years , every ancient book of wisdom , trying to find a way to bring you back to me . duke : i treated you so poorly in life , olivia . and yet , you 've sacrificed everything to bring me back . i do n't know how i 'm ever gon na make this up to you . olivia : you 're here with me now . that 's all i 've ever wanted . griffin : ah . thanks to you , everything is as it should be . nobody else has to get hurt now . duke : we can leave here now , and we can be together forever . olivia : i 've waited forever to hear those words from you . but wait ... what about anna ? [ scene_break ] nina : i 'll admit that , when valentin and i got together , we were strangers . definitely ... our relationship grew at a very fast pace that was shocking to many , including myself . i 'd lying to you if i told you that our marriage was met with cheers from my family . [ sighs ] it most definitely was not . people saw our marriage as a sham just so valentin could retain custody of charlotte . nothing could be further from the truth . i love valentin cassadine , and we got married , because we love each other . and in valentin , i see a capacity to love and nurture that i never , ever knew existed . he welcomed me into charlotte 's life . he encouraged us to form a bond , and we have , and i love charlotte . i love that little girl , and i feel that we can provide a very stable and loving home for charlotte . and mrs. falconeri says she wants what 's best for charlotte , but i believe she 's allowing her animosity toward valentin to blind her to the truth . i think it 's a mistake to take charlotte away from the father she adores and the home she knows . [ scene_break ] jordan : i need to call this in . i 'm expanding my search to include anna devane and dr. griffin munro . excuse me . julian : i do n't need anybody else poking and prodding me tonight . i want to be left alone . rudge : really ? no exceptions for an old friend ? [ scene_break ] griffin : anna does n't have anything to do with this . olivia jerome : she 's always gotten in the way . duke : anna was my first love , but i 've grown beyond her now . griffin : anna , i will always love you , but my heart belongs to olivia now . you ca n't hang on to the past . we 're over . the best thing for all of us would be for you to walk out this door and get the help you need . [ scene_break ] officer : commissioner , we 've checked all the lower levels 10 times over . if olivia jerome is still in the building , she 's not down here . jordan : all right , thanks . report back to the lobby . officer : okay . jordan : julian was so sure . [ scene_break ] michael : after everything you and mom have been through , knowing how badly you need each other , why would you -- why would you throw it all away ? sonny : i did n't want or plan any of this , michael . first thing 's first , i apologized to your mother numerous times . i did n't want this to happen with nelle . i thought she was a nice girl who just wanted to help . but the night ... morgan was gone ... i did n't think your mom wanted anything to do with me . i could n't think straight . i could n't do anything . and i drank to kill the pain and nelle came in . she saw the way i was . and she made a move anyway . michael : she used your grief . sonny : not just mine -- all of us . while we were putting morgan in the ground , she worked herself in -- taping conversations , planting so - called evidence . it was a trap , michael . michael : yeah , she was plotting against us -- being who we wanted her to be , so she could get close . [ sighs ] i just hate that i did n't see it . sonny : hey . michael : i 'm smarter than that . sonny : now , listen , son -- she fooled us all . she just wanted to hurt your mother . michael : the thing is though , in the end , she tried to put a stop to what she put in motion . she was trying to take it back , and i could see what could 've been between us . but ... that was if she would 've been the person she was pretending to be . sonny : you are lucky you 're not with her . there was nothing real about this girl except the grudge that she has for your mother . michael : see , dad , that 's -- that 's what i do n't understand . now , you knew for months that nelle was up to no good . you could 've warned us , right ? you could 've warned us . you could 've stopped this . all you had to do was tell the truth . [ scene_break ] nelle : you want to make my father a villain , because of the way you treated him ? you know , he loved you . carly : [ scoffs ] nelle : he used to tell me all the time how he wished he could introduce me to my big sister . carly : he wanted to introduce you to my money . nelle : he reached out to you incessantly , and each and every time , you rejected him . it destroyed him , carly . carly : okay , you know what , you are living in a fantasy land that frank created . frank never reached out to me to make amends or to have a relationship . he hit me up for cash -- probably for some get - rich - quick scheme or some shady character he owed , nelle . nelle : i can prove you 're lying . [ scene_break ] lulu : that was bad , was n't it ? diane : she was very effective . lulu : can you do something ? diane : look , i still think our best option is to present both of you as reasonable parents willing to compromise . lulu : no , it 's too late . we ca n't compromise . valentin wo n't even consider shared custody . you have to prove that he is unfit . diane : there is a nuclear option . lulu : great . use it . diane : okay . but this option -- it 's brutal . it 's final . there is no room for compromise . lulu : i do n't want to compromise . i want my daughter . use whatever argument you have to get her away from valentin and his lying wife . nora : thank you so much for making the time to come to court today . i mean , what you said -- it was better than anything i could 've scripted . nina : i just told the truth . the truth will set you free , right ? nora : well , that 's naive , but it 's sweet nonetheless . [ cell phone rings ] nora : oh , excuse me . nora buchanan . valentin : thank you for what you said . nina : it 's just important that we keep the family together , for charlotte and for us . valentin : yeah . nina : i 'm not done fighting with you about the things you keep hidden from me , but you 're worth the fight . our marriage is worth the fight . diane : you honor , may i approach ? nora : uh , hello ? judge rawles : are you submitting additional affidavits ? diane : no . i 'm filing an emergency petition to immediately remove charlotte cassadine from the custody of valentin cassadine . nora : on what grounds ? diane : the man is guilty of a first - degree felony . nora : your honor , these baseless charges have been expunged from my client 's record . diane : i 'm not speaking of valentin cassadine 's extensive and colorful rap sheet . valentin cassadine is guilty of kidnapping his own daughter . [ scene_break ] anna : oh .

[ scene_break ] valentin : kidnapping ? that 's absurd . diane : your honor , if i may be allowed to ask mr. cassadine just a few questions . nora : okay , you are under no legal obligation to participate in whatever stunt this is . valentin : no , no , the accusation has been made , and i want to clear the air . nora : your honor , if i may get something on the record . judge rawles : proceed . nora : thank you . mr. cassadine , have you ever kidnapped charlotte ? valentin : no , my name is on her birth certificate . i 've been her custodial parent and legal guardian since birth . nora : thank you , mr. cassadine . your honor , in light of mr. cassadine 's statement , i move that ms. miller 's petition for emergency custody be denied . diane : your honor , if -- again , if i may just ask mr. cassadine a few questions , i believe i can establish grounds for emergency custody . judge rawles : i 'll allow you to question mr. cassadine . diane : mr. cassadine , when you deny kidnapping charlotte , i believe you are using the most common definition of the word . however , in the eyes of the law , that word , `` kidnapping , `` has a much broader meaning . kidnapping , when referring to custody , can mean one parent denying the other parent any contact with the child . nora : wa - wait , your honor . mr. cassadine has gone out of his way to facilitate contact between mrs. falconeri and charlotte . diane : in the last few months , absolutely . but what about the rest of charlotte 's life ? mr. cassadine , when exactly did you become aware that lulu falconeri was charlotte 's biological mother ? [ scene_break ] carly : are these ... ? nelle : what , the letters that my father sent to you over the years before he died ? yeah , that 's them . they were all sent back , unopened . carly : i assume you 've read them . nelle : of course . carly : and you know he wanted cash , not some fatherly bond with his daughter . nelle : look , he was trying to support his family . which you knew , because the first time he wrote you ... you wrote him back . `` dear frank . i 'm sorry times are tough for you , but if you need to make ends meet , do n't bother looking in my direction . you never cared for me , so why should i care about you or your little brat ? `` it 's funny , you know . because you sure cared about his little brat when you needed a kidney for yours . [ scene_break ] michael : no wonder you were so unhappy when i asked nelle out for new year 's . sonny : i knew she could n't be trusted . michael : okay , why -- why -- why did n't you tell me , then ? why did n't you tell me the truth right then and there ? sonny : i should have . but it was n't that simple , michael . your mother was grieving for morgan . i did n't want to add to her pain by telling her i did such a stupid thing ... that i regretted the moment i woke up sober . i did n't want to burden any of you guys . michael : what , and how this turned out is better , huh ? you watched for months as nelle made herself more and more indispensable to our family . sonny : michael , i do n't know what -- i 'm sorry . michael : look , i -- dad , dad , i love you , okay ? and i know you 're just trying to look out and protect our family , but you were really trying to protect yourself , too . and in the end , all you did was leave the door wide open for nelle to trash our family . [ scene_break ] carly : i already told you i had nothing to do with frank donating your kidney . nelle : oh . carly : if anything , that proves to you the kind of man he was . for god 's sake , he sold one of your organs . nelle : yeah , because you asked him to ! carly : this is crazy ! i did no such thing ! nelle : maybe you did n't know it was gon na be my kidney , if it was a match , but the point is that you did n't ask any questions , carly . the moment your little girl was saved , you were done with him . [ scene_break ] jordan : [ sighs ] your sister sent someone here to kill you ? julian : yeah . you know that doctor that you bumped into on your way out ? not a doctor . felix : it 's true , commissioner . i saw it myself . he was dressed as a doctor , and he tried to smother julian . julian : i was able to push the call button . otherwise , i 'd be dead right now . jordan : why ? julian : what , you 're asking me why my crazy sister did this ? jordan : no , why would this guy ... julian : rudge . jordan : ... rudge , do olivia 's bidding ? julian : [ sighs ] look , i do n't know the particulars . and my sister has a bunch of thugs on retainer . she 's been planning this for months now . some of these thugs could even be valid hospital employees . look , i 'm telling you , nobody 's safe . [ scene_break ] griffin : anna does n't have to die , liv . look at me . duke : anna knows by exposing you , it also exposes me , olivia . and the authorities , they may try to reverse what you have done , and i would have to die all over again . olivia jerome : no . anna : he 's right . i 'm just as thrilled as you are that duke is alive . i would never do anything to threaten his second chance . i wo n't say a word -- for his sake . olivia : you liar . you just want me locked up so that you can have duke all to yourself . i 'm sorry , darling . this is the way it has to be . griffin : wait . olivia : do n't fight me on this . griffin : i wo n't . i wo n't . i understand now that this is the only way . duke : i should be the one to pull the trigger . olivia : [ breathes shakily ] you want to kill anna ? duke : well , that way , i can truly be free to start again with you . olivia : [ sighs ] you 're right . i do n't want to do anything that would keep us from having a life together .

[ scene_break ] valentin : when i learned of the embryo 's existence is when i learned that the egg had come from lulu . nora : your honor , reproductive law is still being codified and litigated . it 's an open question whether providing an egg conveys any kind of parental rights whatsoever . lulu : charlotte 's my daughter . of course , i have rights . judge rawles : uh , ms. falconeri , it 's not your turn to speak . diane : your honor , mr. cassadine confirmed my client 's suspicions that she was charlotte 's biological mother only after she confronted him . he did n't go to her . and since he has established that lulu falconeri is charlotte 's mother , it then follows that he has denied her a relationship with her own daughter during the child 's most formative years . yes , we concede that mr. cassadine is the only parent that charlotte knows , and he knows what her favorite color is , because he has deliberately manipulated the situation and deceived everyone . nora : your honor , i object to ms. miller 's creative interpretation of not only the law , but the facts in this case . judge rawles : your objection is duly noted , ms. buchanan . thank you . i will review the emergency custody petition and see if a precedent exists for a case such as this . we are adjourned while i 'm in my chambers , but do n't go far . [ bangs gavel ] dante : and diane delivers again . lulu : that was amazing . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : we might be able to take charlotte home after all . laura : nina . i see you did n't take our little talk to heart . nina : actually , i did . more than you know . thank you for helping me take an honest look at my marriage . laura : well , given the way the case is going , i hope you 'll be able to live with the choice you made . valentin : nina , what was that all about ? nina : nothing . diane : you can save your client a lot of pain and humiliation if you convince him to back out gracefully now . nora : [ laughs ] we both know that your petition 's gon na be denied . diane : hmm . nora : yes . the fact that you filed it at all tells me that your client 's desperate . diane : mm . nora : she 's gon na lose , and she knows it . having said that , i must say it was a very creative argument and presented very well -- kudos . diane : thank you very much . thank you . nora : yes . i always admire a worthy opponent .

[ door slams ] nelle : [ sniffles ] you know what ? i think it 's time to give this town another chance . carly : we need to talk now . [ scene_break ] judge rawles : will you all take your seats ? this hearing is back in session . the unique circumstances of charlotte cassadine 's conception have created a no - win situation . the arguments and claims presented by both sides have merit . it is clear that both parents want what 's best for the child , but it is unclear who can provide that . because in all this testimony , we have yet to hear from the person who has the most at stake -- charlotte herself . therefore , the court will arrange for charlotte to meet with a psychiatrist to evaluate her and determine her wishes . pending this evaluation , ms. falconeri 's petition for emergency custody is denied . ms. miller , kidnapping is a federal offense . you had no grounds whatsoever to make that allegation against mr. cassadine , and if you pull a stunt like that again in my courtroom , i will file a complaint with the bar association and fine you for contempt . am i clear ? diane : crystal , your honor . judge rawles : we will reconvene to hear the psychiatrist 's findings , and i will make my decision at that time . we 're adjourned . valentin : so , what do you think ? nina : this is good , right ? we know that charlotte wants to be with us . nora : i think it 's a good sign , yes , i do . i just hope neither one of you have any skeletons in your closet that could pop up during the evaluation . diane : this is the best outcome we could have hoped for . any evaluation is gon na show that charlotte needs her mother . laura : a social worker has already made it very clear that you two are great parents to rocco . lulu : yeah . dante : okay , try not to worry . right , everyone knows what a great mother you are . lulu : mm - hmm . everyone but charlotte .

[ scene_break ] sonny : listen , you do n't have to fix things . that 's my job . michael : then why ca n't you fix it so mommy can come home ? sonny : because that 's not what mommy wants . mommy loves you very much . she loves morgan very much , but things will never be the way they were . michael : what did the judge say ? sonny : nothing yet . michael : was the hearing scary ? sonny : yeah , sometimes , you know , but actually some good things happened . your mother got on the stand to testify , and she -- she could have said some mean things to hurt your daddy , but she did n't . you know , and then i probably would have gotten up and gotten mad and said some mean things to hurt her , and it would have been the worst fight ever . but you know what ? your mother did -- ahem -- a very difficult thing today . she backed down . and now maybe i can back down a little bit , you know . and things can work out for all of us . come here .

[ scene_break ] frank : to new friends . guy : new friends . [ scene_break ] lulu : why are you so resistant to meeting georgie 's friend ? lucas : well , do you want to meet every guy that you hear about just because he 's a guy ? lulu : no . lucas : neither do i . lulu : somebody 's touchy . dillon : you do n't have to start dating . and you know what ? if you 're both lonely , there 's nothing wrong with a little cup of coffee . lucas : there are more difficult things than being alone . [ scene_break ] sonny : it 's not right . emily : wait , sonny . please do n't backtrack on me again . sonny : no , no , i 'm not talking -- it 's not -- it 's the fact that we have to sneak around , hiding what we are to each other . emily : it 's better than not being together . sonny : but there 's a catch-22 . i mean , it 's not ideal , but if you open up , let everybody know , you know , how you feel , then you 're subjected to other people 's opinions and judgments and -- you deserve so much better than that . emily : sonny , it 's not -- it 's not the judgments that bother me . it 's being a catalyst for pain and anger . but it does n't matter now , because we are -- we 're in this beautiful city . we have the hillsides and the ocean . and best of all , we have each other . and there 's no reason to pretend that we 're not together , loving every minute . sonny : you 're right . yeah , decirle que empieza la musica . emily : wait , what -- what was that about ? sonny : what was what about ? emily : you know what i 'm -- [ sonny laughs ] sonny : nothing . it 's all right . you want some wine ? emily : yeah , i 'd love some wine . sonny : all right . i hope you do n't mind . i took the liberty of planning our day tomorrow . emily : i do n't mind . tell me . sonny : ok . we 're going to rent a car , ok , and i 'm feeling some small , fast convertible -- emily : mm - hmm . sonny : right , so i can see the wind blowing in your hair , all right , as we drive down the coast . emily : wait , wait . what , while you drive ? sonny : yeah . emily : ok , i do n't -- i do n't think i 've ever seen such a thing . sonny : well , that 's the point , you know ? doing things we 've never done , going to places we 've never gone before , foods we 've never eaten . you 're like no one i 've ever known . which makes sense that , you know , every experience with you is going to be different . [ scene_break ] alexis : awful irony in all of this . huh . when i think about the lengths that i went to to keep kristina safe from sonny 's criminal life -- keeping her paternity a secret all that time as a means of keeping her safe from what was a very clear and very obvious danger . and then my firstborn gets hit by a car at the age of 3 on an ordinary day in the life of a normal family . i should never have given her up . if i had raised her , if i had taken care of her , she would be alive today . ric : do not take this on yourself , ok ? it was an accident , alexis . it was tragic , but it was not your fault . nor was this the result of anything that you did . alexis : i did n't even see a picture . i ca n't breathe ; i have to get out of here . ric : all right , listen to me , listen , listen -- i want -- i want us to stay here in the city at my family 's apartment tonight . alexis : no . ric : i do n't think that we should go home . with the way you 're feeling -- alexis : you 're right , you 're right . you 're right , but there is someplace that i want you to take me right now before i lose my courage .

[ scene_break ] ric : any decision to give up your daughter for adoption was made for you , alexis . i -- i realize this is very difficult for you to understand , but at one point , you were a frightened little teenage girl with no voice . alexis : i had the chance to save her and i did n't take it . when my father brought me here , i was so drained . i was so tired . i carried this baby for nine months , and i held her for all of about nine seconds . she was crying when they took her away from me . and then there was nothing . she was n't in my womb ; she was n't in my arms . she just was n't . i went upstairs and i tried to go to sleep , but i -- i could n't , because i could still hear her crying . so i went to the window and i saw the lights in the town , and i knew that the clinic was there . i knew that it was n't far and that my baby was there . and then i decided that i was going to go get her and love her no matter what , and that i would do my best and trust that it would all be all right . so i got dressed and i headed out , and i got to the top of the staircase and i saw my father sitting by the fireplace . i could 've gone around him , i could 've slipped out the back way , but i -- i stood there and i could n't move . and he looked up at me for the longest time and he said to me that he thought i had done the right thing . and i turned around and i walked back to my room and i cried myself to sleep . mikkos may have arranged to have the baby adopted , but i 'm the one who gave her away . [ scene_break ] emily : will you be able to get back to sleep ? sonny : well , sometimes , you know , i just got to figure out a way to get myself so tired . on the island , i -- i swim . most of the time , i drink . emily : everything 's different now , you know ? sonny : yeah . yeah . emily : so why do n't we try something new ? sonny : like what ? emily : well , all of your dreams ca n't be bad . right ? i can think of a happy one . sonny : well , the last time i had a happy dream , it was about you . emily : when did you have it ? sonny : after the first time we kissed . emily : yeah . it made you feel good ? sonny : yeah . emily : yeah ? ok . well , maybe we can re - create it .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : well , since you refuse to visit me , i have come to you instead . alexis : i adore you , and no one is more delighted to see you than me ... except i have made it very clear that i hate the launch , especially in the winter . nikolas : right , so assuming you agree to help me , we can continue to meet here , right in your cozy little office . alexis : okay , so you 're all princey today . why do n't you have a seat ? tell me what 's wrong , what 's going on , who 's in trouble . nikolas : nothing -- it 's jax . i allowed myself to get distracted , and now it 's put me in an intolerable situation . i want this thing taken care of once and for all in court . alexis : you want me to sue jax ? nikolas : yes , i would like you to represent me . now , i realize that there is a conflict of interest , so feel free to turn me down . alexis : okay , so before you put me in the middle between my nephew and my best friend , why do n't you just acknowledge what 's really going on ? nikolas : what -- meaning what ? alexis : meaning you 're looking for something else to focus on so you do n't have to deal with watching this woman walk around town with emily 's face . [ scene_break ] sam : all right , look , it was n't really an easy decision for jason to make , but after thinking it through , it kind of feels like -- maxie : i do n't really care what jason decided , okay ? i 'm not spinelli . i do n't think jason 's this wise , all - knowing oracle . i think he 's a dumb mobster . sam : okay . maxie : do n't -- do n't get me wrong . i think jason 's been a good friend to spinelli in the past , but he 's not stepping up now , and a good friend would know when spinelli 's in trouble , so who 's going to pick up the slack ? it 's going to be me , and if you know anything , you 're going to tell me . sam : hold on a second . bef -- listen -- do n't be offended . i just kind of have to ask , do you want spinelli home for him or for you ? maxie : i 'm not offended . i think that it would be good for both of us . i should n't have to tell you , sam . you 've seen us together . spinelli will never be happy if he 's away from me , and i will always worry about him . if the roles were reversed , i would help you out . sam : okay , all right , listen . i do n't know much . maxie : but you know something . sam : i do , yeah . one of my contacts told me that he did book a plane ticket to l.a .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : all right , look , i realize that jax is one of your all - time favorite people in life , but do n't divert my anger towards him by throwing rebecca into the mix . he literally bought the ground out from underneath my feet . if i do n't do something aggressive , i could be living in the middle of a causeway . alexis : really ? nikolas : yes . alexis : you mean like a spa - golf course kind of thing ? 'cause i could learn to love that . nikolas : you think this is -- you think this is funny ? alexis : maybe it 's fate . maybe it 's just giving you a little push so that you give up that godforsaken rock that you 're living on , and move into a normal house in a normal neighborhood , where people can actually walk up to your doorstep and visit . nikolas : i guess i have my answer . alexis : i 'm sorry . nikolas : i 'll see you later , bye . alexis : sorry , i did n't -- i did n't say that i would n't consider it , but i just -- before i do , i would like you just to be honest with me about why you feel so compelled to pursue this . nikolas : rebecca again ? alexis : convince me i 'm wrong . nikolas : well , you 're not . not completely . see , i 've had a moment of clarity , so to speak . i realized i was being completely unfair to rebecca , by latching on to her , hoping that she would fill some hole that emily left in my life . she ca n't . there is only one emily , and she ca n't be duplicated , so there you go . alexis : you know , accepting that is going to save you a lot of heartache . nikolas : do you know how annoying it is to me when you 're right ? alexis : especially when it happens so often . i know . i ca n't help it that i love you so very much . nikolas : okay . i love you , too . [ scene_break ] carly : obviously , i want to know what you think . jason : i just do n't -- i do n't feel like it 's my place to weigh in on this right now , okay ? carly : yes , it is , jason . i need your advice . jason : so you said ... the chance of michael showing any improvement after the test or the treatment or whatever it is -- it 's like one in a million ? carly : yes , but i mean , if there 's really no risk , and michael wo n't be in any pain -- jason : so is that what you 're saying to me ? there 's no risk at all ? carly : okay , it is surgery . they have to put a needle in his brain . there is a risk of infection . there is . jason : yeah , there is a risk . and if something goes wrong , what ? michael 's going to be worse off than he is right now ? carly : if it 's successful , this could be the first step at finding a cure for him . jason : yeah , right . it could be , or not . carly : okay , but do n't we owe it to michael to figure out everything , no matter where it 's going to lead us ? jason : carly , i think the question that you need to ask is -- look , look , you 're tearing yourself up already . we have n't even started this process . you have n't even started going through this . no matter how much distance you try to keep , you are going to get your hopes up , and what if it does n't work ? carly : i ca n't turn my back on a cure because i 'm afraid i 'm going to be disappointed . jason : then you have your answer . carly : thank you . jason : you knew before you came here . carly : but i need to talk to you first . [ scene_break ] luke : well , you know , i generally make it a point never to ask personal questions about people 's family business , but -- [ glasses clink ] luke : since michael is my sister 's grandchild , i can tell you with some confidence that if this test is going to cause him any pain or discomfort , she wo n't like it . sonny : yeah , the doctors assured carly that it 's painless and there 's minimal chance of side effects . luke : then what 's the problem ? sonny : i just keep thinking that i 've been a coward , you know ? emotionally speaking , i 've let carly take all responsibility of decision - making when it comes to michael . luke : well , correct me if i 'm wrong , but after michael was shot , did n't she legally bar you from any care for the boys ? sonny : yes , but we 've gone past that . all carly hopes for every day is to find some cure for michael , and me , i 've just kind of accepted that he 's -- he 's at peace , his spirit is free , and ... that 's my acceptance . but now i 'm starting to think that maybe that 's just a copout .

kate : i know that , but you can not make me promises that you ca n't keep right now . sonny : okay . now i - i ... i see doubt in your eyes , and i hear doubt in your voice . two people were killed in a car crash , and one of them was a little girl . kate : sonny -- sonny : please , just listen to what i 'm telling you . i 'm gon na tell you right now , i had nothing -- and i had nothing to do with that crash . do you understand ? kate : you are going to walk into a courtroom . sonny : i do n't care . kate : i know you do n't care , but you have to stay quiet for me , please . stay quiet . dante : she 's right , sonny . do n't say anything to incriminate yourself . sonny : okay , i 'm gon na tell you both right now , all right ? that gun you found in kate 's office was not mine . i swear to you on my children 's lives . dante : we 're not the ones you need to convince . sonny : this is a mistake . dante : sonny , a witness heard you making threats at anthony . you were carrying around a 9 mm . you had motive , means , opportunity , and no alibi . sonny : i am innocent . and instead of wasting your time , you need to find out who that gun belongs to . steve : what you walked in on was n't -- olivia : was n't what it looked like ? yeah , i hear that a lot with the two of you . maggie : fine . fine . okay . you caught us in the act . oops . steve : maggie dragged me over here to -- olivia : is that what you guys are calling it now ? steve : i was making an ass out of myself in front of the head of security . olivia : would you stop ? stop . okay ? just stop what you 're doing . it 's bad enough you 're doing this little whatever it is behind my back , but you 're gon na stand here and you 're gon na lie to my face about it , too ? steve : i was upset about robin . olivia : okay , and so , naturally , you go to maggie for comfort . steve : no ! this has brought up a lot of stuff for me . olivia : okay . i understand that , honey . i really -- i do . and i know what a good friend robin was to you . that 's actually why i came here looking for you . i thought that you might be in pain . i thought you might need someone to talk to . steve : thank you . olivia : seeing you hurt ... honestly , i ca n't stand it . steve : [ sighs ] olivia : almost as much as i ca n't stand you . lulu : michael , i 'm not saying your father 's guilty . michael : except you kind of are , actually . lulu : no , i - i do not want to see dante get crushed again . he cares about sonny a lot . michael : and my dad cares just as much about him . lulu : i know . michael : do you ? lulu : that sonny loves his kids ? yeah . look , believe me , i wish things were different for both of them . michael : maybe someday they will be . these are the dancers who were attacked -- abby 's friends . i thought the cops forgot about this . lulu : well , not dante . michael : well , is there any leads ? i mean , do they still think the attacker might be a regular at vaughn 's ? delores : the case is cold . we 've got nothing to go on . lulu : um , that 's not entirely true . starr : mom , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i just -- blair : no , sweetheart , it 's fine . it 's ... it 's so fine . i 'm the one that 's sorry . you 're entitled to feel however you want to feel for however long you want to feel it . and i swear to you , if -- if i ever try to rush that again , you can tell me to just put a sock in it , okay ? so , i 'm sorry . you go ahead . just ... okay ? tell me everything that you and your dad talked about . starr : he told me to tell him about the accident . blair : mm - hmm . starr : so i told him what i remembered , and i told him how that other driver gave me his cell phone so i could call 911 before he ran off . blair : i just ca n't believe somebody would run off . why -- how come someone would n't just stay there and help you ? starr : because he said sonny corinthos was after him . he said that the accident was his fault . blair : well , i bet you that is a name that your dad certainly filed away . starr : well , he said he was n't gon na let him get away with it . blair : well , i think that 's one promise your father , um , wo n't break . todd : i interrupt your reading ? carly : no . well , i just -- a rag mag . you know what i mean . todd : [ chuckles ] intimately , as a matter of fact . you know , you 've been so kind , but i 'm gon na ask you one more favor . and i 'll -- i 'll repay this one , as well . carly : [ chuckles ] i 'm not keeping score . todd : well , i am . carly : what do you need ? todd : i need corinthos behind bars . [ clears throat ] but since i 'm kind of laying low at the moment , i - i - i would love if someone else were to point the police in the right direction . carly : well , the police are already on top of it . sonny 's being arraigned as we speak . todd : sonny . like with a `` u `` ? you say it like you know the guy . carly : intimately , as a matter of fact . he 's my ex - husband . sonny : you are a great investigator . all you got to do is keep digging . you 'll find proof that i did not cause the accident . dante : i 'm sorry , sonny , but the evidence i 'm about to present does not work in your favor . sonny : there are so many people that would jump at the chance to put me in prison , whether i 'm guilty or not , just because they think that i -- that i -- that i deserve it for everything else that i 've done . dante : what do you say ? sonny : i say you 're better than that . dante : well , i 'm not gon na fabricate evidence . i 'm definitely not gon na suppress it , either , no matter how i feel personally or however much i want to believe that you are innocent . i got a job to do . alexis : it 's time . sonny : let 's go . alexis : uh ... hold on one second . i 'd -- i 'd like a word with you . before i go in there and i defend you ... sonny : uh - huh . alexis : ... you tell me the truth . did you do it ? sonny : [ scoffs ] i was not on the road that night , i did not shoot anthony 's tires out , and i did n't cause the death of that man and his little girl . alexis : you 've lied to me a lot . sonny : i am not lying to you now . i would not ask or expect you to defend me when it has to do with the death of a little girl . alexis : i believe you . sonny : thank you . alexis : do n't thank me yet . wait till i get the judge to drop the charges . michael : whatever you can tell me , i 'd appreciate it . lulu : dante found some footprints -- delores : lulu ! michael : footprints ? lulu : in -- in -- in the alley where delores was jumped . he thought they belonged to the attacker , so he took some pictures on his cell phone . michael : okay , what did he turn up ? lulu : well , nothing , because the pictures are gone . steve : i apologize for everything you have walked in on . i have been acting unfairly , and i should have let you know the second that i contacted her . maggie : you brought me here to do a job . and speaking of which , i 'm gon na go see our patient , charlotte . maybe play her something on your guitar like last time . olivia : oh , you know what ? i 'm not doing this . steve : olivia . wait . wait ! olivia : no , i 'm not doing this , all right ? i know we 're supposed to be all grown up and adult about all this stuff , but i 'm not gon na stand here and hold your hand and smile while you have this little sleazy affair with -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm just not built like that . steve : there is no affair . olivia : what did you say ? steve : we 're not having an affair . sonny : after everything we 've been through , you need to know i 'm -- i 'm not lying about this . kate : sonny , but the gun . w - we made love . it must have fallen on the table out of your waistband without -- sonny : it was a setup . somebody planted that gun . probably on orders from johnny . bailiff : all rise . court is now in session . the honorable judge colin shepherd presiding . please take your seats . alexis : no surprises , okay ? sonny : yeah . judge : i 'm sorry . what was that , counselor ? alexis : uh , nothing , your honor . ready to proceed . we 're here to read the charges against michael corinthos jr. , and , if necessary , to set bail . you 're up . uh , with your permission , your honor , i 'll have the arresting officer describe the details of the case . judge : i 'll allow it . please state your name for the court . dante : uh , detective dante falconeri , your honor . you can join me up here , detective . please tell us the facts of the case , detective , if you would . dante : [ clears throat ] on , uh , the night of february 28th , i arrived at the scene of a fatal accident . a car had gone through the guardrail and down the ravine below and exploded . a man and a child were trapped inside . what was the cause of the accident ? dante : a second vehicle registered to anthony zacchara spun out of control into oncoming traffic because the two rear tires had been shot out . were you able to recover the bullets ? dante : yes . we recovered two slugs from mr. zacchara 's vehicle . we matched those to a gun that was subsequently recovered in the office of kate howard , the girlfriend of mr. corinthos . blair : you know that is all for you , do n't you , that your dad is just trying to prove himself ? even though he knows `` the sun `` could possibly be sued because of it . starr : or not . blair : what do you mean by that ? starr : what if it 's true ? blair : sweetheart , you ca n't just print a headline like that on what - ifs . i mean , that 's libel . starr : i do n't care . blair : starr . starr : i do n't . blair : it 's irresponsible , and it 's very dangerous . do you know who this man is ? he is a known mobster . and your dad is just baiting him just -- he 's just doing it to win points with you , sweetheart . starr : dad can handle himself . blair : that 's exactly what i 'm worried about , because it could get violent . it could get dangerous just like that . starr : [ sighs ] blair : what -- i 'm trying to have a conversation about the fact that your father could possibly murder someone when you 're just , like , dismissing -- starr : what do you want me to say ? blair : i would like for you to say something that actually sounds like you . that would be nice . starr : if sonny killed cole and hope , i do n't give a damn what happens to him . todd : you knew that your ex - husband may have caused my granddaughter 's death . and when we were talking , you just forgot to mention that ? carly : i did n't see any reason to add to your pain . todd : you 're protecting him . carly : sonny does n't need my protection . he does n't want it . he has a great attorney . todd : how long were you married to him ? carly : a while . todd : so you know where all the bodies are buried . carly : sonny does n't work that way . todd : oh , no . of course not . shield the women and children . that kind of nonsense ? your sonny should be more careful with other people 's children . carly : he 's not `` my sonny , `` and he has n't been `` my sonny `` for a long time . he 's seeing a woman he used to know in high school . her name 's kate howard . her office is on the third floor . if you want to hear someone defend him , be my guest . todd : i 'd rather hear it from you . carly : okay . do i -- [ chuckles ] do i think that , uh , sonny is capable of shooting out anthony 's tires ? yes . absolutely . todd : he should be more mindful where he shoots his gun . there might be innocent children like my granddaughter around . carly : you have had a terrible loss , and you are looking for someone to blame . but we still do n't know that sonny 's guilty . dante : measurements taken at the scene indicate that the loss of the two rear tires propelled mr. zacchara 's vehicle into oncoming traffic . that was the direct cause of the accident . whoever shot out those two tires is responsible for the deaths of the two passengers trapped inside the car -- cole thornhart and his daughter , hope manning . thank you , detective . alexis : do n't react . judge : it 's the determination of this court that sufficient evidence has been presented . michael corinthos jr. , you 're being charged with the attempted murder of anthony zacchara , along with vehicular manslaughter and the subsequent deaths of cole thornhart and hope manning . that was me still taking insulin alexis : the charges against my client were brought after a rushed and inadequate investigation . the only so - called evidence is a gun that they ca n't trace to my client . judge : as detective falconeri stated , the weapon was recovered from kate howard 's office . mr. corinthos admits to being in that office less than 24 hours after the accident . alexis : ms. howard 's office is located on the third floor of the metro court hotel . it 's accessible by a common elevator . anyone could have planted the gun . motion to dismiss . judge : motion denied . [ bangs gavel ] steve : this whole affair thing she made up . maggie : no , i did n't . no , i did n't . you do n't have to protect me . olivia : could you just tell me what the hell is going on ? ! steve : [ sighs ] maggie : please do n't do this . you do not have to do this , steve . steve : yes , i do . she deserves to know the truth . michael : what computer ? lulu : work . michael : and they just vanished ? lulu : not exactly . michael : okay , they got to be here somewhere if they 're uploaded . does n't the department have a tech guy or something ? lulu : dante thinks someone deleted them . michael : what ? lulu : i do n't know . i was uploading them . i go to the evidence room . i come back . the pictures are off the computer and the cell phone . michael : in the middle of the station ? who would do that ? lulu : i do n't know , but dante 's not gon na let it go , okay ? michael : [ sighs ] all right . i should probably get to the courthouse . the arraignment 's probably started . lulu : wait , michael . are you okay ? i mean , that girl , um ... michael : starr . lulu : she 's very lucky to have you take her to the hospital . michael : yeah , she was n't lucky when she lost her boyfriend or her little girl . [ sighs ] i was there . and the look on her face when she was told ... lulu : look , dante said that you did everything you could to save them . michael : when you lose somebody you love , all you 're left with is questions , you know , `` what did it happen ? is it somebody 's fault ? `` i mean , you want to blame somebody . y - you want to fight somebody . lulu : like sonny . michael : starr lost the people she loves the most . and she wants justice . i know . i - i ... i want the same for abby . blair : hey . i know you 're angry . and you have every right . but , sweetie , wishing someone were dead ... starr : did i say that ? blair : well , not in so many words . but it 's not you . revenge . dark thoughts . that 's your dad 's department , and look at his life . look w - what a mess it 's in . starr : well , at least he gets the job done . blair : at what cost ? starr : you did n't even ask what happened right before the a - accident . [ sobs ] cole asked me to marry him . blair : baby . starr : he said that he did n't want us to be star - crossed lovers anymore , that we had a second chance and he did n't want to waste it . he swore that we would have a happy ending and ... blair : i 'm sorry . starr : and that 's when i saw those headlights come towards the car ! blair : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . starr : that 's what sonny corinthos took away from me ! you do n't think he deserves to pay for that ? ! blair : yes , i do . i do . i do , sweetheart . i do . but you know what ? i do n't care -- i do n't care about sonny corinthos . i do n't care about him . [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] what i care about -- what i care about is you , baby girl . and all that anger and that rage ... i just do n't want you turning that in on yourself like your father does . i just do n't want that for you . starr : i do n't want to talk about this anymore . blair : okay . we do n't -- we do n't -- we do n't have to , and i swear to you , i 'm not trying to tell you how to feel . i ... i just know that you are my ... you are my beautiful , good girl , and we both know what all that darkness will do to a person . the only matter remaining is the question of bail . we request the defendant be held without bail . alexis : my client has significant ties in the community . mr. corinthos is a known flight risk . he has offshore assets , property in several countries , including some without extradition treaties . alexis : mr. corinthos has four children in the united states , two of whom reside right here in port charles . he would n't even consider abandoning them . the defendant threatened to kill anthony zacchara in front of witnesses . now , mr. zacchara 's whereabouts are still unknown . if mr. corinthos is released , he could very well attempt to finish what he started and add a third homicide to his tally . alexis : i 'm going to object , because that 's inflammatory . may i remind you , counselors , we are not at trial ? alexis : your honor , the evidence is entirely circumstantial . there is no witness that saw him shoot out mr. zacchara 's tires . there is no witness that saw him drop off a gun in ms . howard 's office . there are no fingerprints . there are no forensics . there 's absolutely nothing to tie my client to the gun . your honor , the state looks forward to proving its case at trial , provided the defendant remains in the country to be tried . alexis : and my client looks forward to proving his innocence . however , i feel it 's absurd to throw him behind bars when the killer is actually walking around out there . todd : you know what i think ? i think that you just wo n't allow yourself to believe that your ex - husband would kill a child and then lie about it . carly : right . i do n't want to believe that . todd : oh , come on . have you ever lied to avoid getting into trouble ? carly : many of times . todd : you know what i do n't hear you saying ? i do n't hear you saying that you believe that he 's innocent . carly : okay , you do n't know how things work here in port charles . the police are frustrated . they have been trying for years to get a conviction against sonny . todd : he 's never done time ? well , that 's a nifty , little trick . what does he do ? walk around in a bathrobe ? carly : you 're missing the point . the police did n't go looking at any other suspects . they 're gon na charge sonny with the death of a child because it 's horrible and it takes away all sympathy . they 're gon na use your granddaughter to get a conviction against sonny whether he 's guilty or not . todd : this from the lady who swears she 's not protecting him . carly : [ sighs ] you know what ? before you start blaming me for what my ex may or may not have done , let 's talk about what my son did , okay ? michael saved your daughter and got her to the hospital , and he did everything he could to save your granddaughter . i mean , since we 're keeping score here . todd : someone needs to answer for what my daughter is going through . carly : the person who 's guilty will answer , okay ? and the court is gon na decide if sonny is guilty . hell , he 's being arraigned this morning . todd : okay . well , then , there we go . i can leave town happy knowing that justice was done . maggie : you 're making a mistake , steve . olivia : please just tell me , what the hell are you two talking about ? maggie : this does n't affect just you . steve : you 're right . which is why she needs to know . [ beeper beeps ] maggie : [ sighs ] my burn patient . i have to go . you know , for what it 's worth -- olivia : not much . maggie : i think you 're gon na regret this . olivia : for god 's sake , steve , just tell me what is going on . delores : it 's nice that you get to work close to dante , but you ca n't be giving out case information to civilians . lulu : civilians ? michael 's abby 's family . delores : he 's also the son of the local crime lord . lulu : so is dante . delores : dante took an oath . and do n't even go there about freedom of information . it does n't apply when it compromises an ongoing investigation . lulu : or put other officers at risk ? delores : exactly . lulu : so that 's why you 're so concerned about this , because the only officer i put at risk is the one who sabotaged the upload . delores : yeah . lulu : i asked you yesterday if you saw anyone near dante 's computer . delores : and i told you `` no . `` lulu : except for you . delores : what ? lulu : there was no one near dante 's computer except for you . delores : are you accusing me of deleting those photos ? your honor , please -- judge : enough . bail is set at $ 1.5 million . all parties will be notified of the trial date . i strongly advise that you come prepared with a more compelling argument at that time .

[ scene_break ] silas : ava , i know this is difficult . but i need to know that you understand what i 'm saying . ava : it 's all making sense to me now . why you did n't turn me in and send me back to prison . i wondered why you would risk your own freedom just so i could keep mine . i thought maybe it was because of kiki . or what we used to mean to each other . and how much . oh , my god . silas : what is it ? ava : this is why you would n't let me run away with avery this afternoon . you could n't let me do that , right , because i wo n't be alive to take care of her , will i ? ! silas : please try to calm down . ava : [ laughs ] why should i calm down when i finally understand everything ? you did n't turn me in because turning me in does n't matter . because i wo n't be around much longer anyway .

[ scene_break ] nathan : you 're right . i think there was someone like that once . maxie : well , who ? never mind . i - i - i do n't need to know her name ; but if she just showed up out of nowhere and kissed you , i know you 'd be caught off guard , but i do n't think you 'd be asking me to step aside while you figured things out , right ? nathan : no , but if she did walk back into my life -- maxie : there 's no way to know for sure unless it actually happens , which it wo n't , but i 'm just saying . nathan : maxie , i am not the one who was just kissing my ex . maxie : were you just not listening to , like , my whole explanation ? nathan : no . no . no . no . no . i heard everything that you said , but none of it makes me feel any better about what 's going on between you and spinelli . maxie : [ sighs ] well , it should , so you should try again . nathan : i wish it was that easy . maxie : it is . nathan : no . but it is pretty clear , maxie . uh ... the only thing left for me to do is let you go . maxie : no ! nathan : it 's better this way . maxie , i just -- i do n't see any way to fix this . maxie : this is totally fixable ... unless you have lost all faith in me .

[ scene_break ] sonny : leave her out of it . carly : why do you want me arrested , michael ? other than as leverage against your father . michael : defying the court order , suspicion of kidnapping , and , um , conspiracy to commit kidnapping . sonny : you do n't have any evidence . michael : she was in the courtroom when you lied to the judge about avery 's whereabouts . and she stood there while you lied to the marshal about avery being upstairs . there 's every reason to believe that she 's in on this with sonny , so take her , too . sonny : this is between us . leave your mother out of it . michael : she 's in this up to her neck , just like she was with aj . she knows where avery is , and she 's not telling . sonny : fine ! you win , michael . carly : no . sonny : i 'm gon na tell him . carly : no ! sonny : i 'm gon na tell him . come on . you want me to tell him ? carly : do not do that because of me ! you want to do this , then let 's do this . go ahead . you can arrest me . michael : all right , after you arrest them , you 're gon na want to notify the court that avery is on a private island in puerto rico . sonny owns it , and he frequently sends his children there .

[ scene_break ] lulu : you kissed maxie ? spinelli : and she kissed me back . though , nathan believes otherwise . his baser instincts then took hold , and he professed a profound desire to give me and my eye the proverbial knuckle sandwich . tracy : imagine that . lulu : because he caught you kissing his girlfriend . spinelli : okay , well , `` girlfriend `` is a very strong word . lulu : spinelli . spinelli : okay . well , if i am in the wrong , as your tone suggests , then why would maxie defend me ? lulu : maybe she did n't want nathan to pulverize you . spinelli : maybe . but my guess is that after i left , maxie realized that i was correct in assuming that her heart still belongs to me . lulu : well , i was n't there , but , uh ... spinelli : and i realize you have plenty of reasons to be skeptical , but maxie did not deny these feelings when i pointed it out to her . just before i kissed her , just before the detective made his ill - timed , although possibly fortuitous , arrival , yes . yes , in fact , i 'm sure that maxie 's severing her relationship with nathan right now . tracy : what are you doing here ? spinelli : what , did i not mention the angry man with the upper - arm girth that rivals my head ? yeah , but you just said that maxie is casting him aside in favor of you . she 's waiting for you . go ! be with the woman you love . spinelli : [ laughing ] okay . i thank you for the words of encouragement , mrs. q . you -- you -- you are a queen among women .

[ chuckles ] you know me . i could n't . it would just build up . all that resentment would build up , and it would be toxic , and there would be a wall between me and sonny , so i had to tell him how i felt , and he listened . well , i know sonny 's not gon na become some pacifist . he 's not . but he did agree that he would consider the alternatives . so that makes me happy , you know ? it 's like i told him yesterday -- it 's a shift in momentum .

[ sighs ] when i met you , i did n't know that you were jason quartermaine . i mean , i knew that they had a son that was in a horrible accident , and they made it sound tragic , you know , that he was damaged , but ... you were anything but . i mean , you were wild and dangerous , and i was crazy about you from the start . jason : really . carly : and you just wanted nothing to do with them . and uh , that was fine by me . jason : um ... i 've got to ask . how did you end up having a son with my brother ? carly : [ laughs ] oh , gosh . that 's not my favorite part of the story . jason : i mean , yeah . carly : uh , well , i -- [ sighs ] i went looking for you . jason : oh ! carly : and i found aj , and i accidentally slept with him . jason : accidentally . carly : accidentally . and i got pregnant with michael . jason : that 's good . carly : and the quartermaines wanted to take him from me . and you sided with me . you did . because of you , i got to keep my son . and that was another reason i was fine with you not wanting anything to do with them . jason : was my family really that bad ? carly : not always . and your grandmother , lila , she was amazing . she was so sweet . she never judged anyone . she was always accepting . you 're so much like her . you have her name . jason : i have her name ? carly : morgan . lila 's maiden name . jason : huh . carly : jason morgan quartermaine . you dropped quartermaine , and you became jason morgan . your family was not very happy about that , but they eventually came around . the memorial plaque that hangs in the family crypt refers to you as `` jason morgan . `` jason : oh , wait . hold on . there 's a plaque in a crypt with my name on it ? carly : yep . jason : really . carly : mm - hmm .

[ scene_break ] michael : it 's a boy or a girl ? felix : um , i was wondering the same thing . sabrina did n't mention the sex in the letter that came with the picture . michael : a letter ? did she say anything about me ? felix : it was just a quick note . you know , something that she probably mailed off before she sent the picture . michael : do you have it on you ? felix : no , i , um , left it at home . i mean , what it said , mostly , was that she 's happy with her baby , happy with her life , and ... that she 's not coming back . michael : oh . uh , okay . that 's good , though . i mean , really . that 's -- that 's good . after everything that happened with gabriel , i know ... how much this baby meant to her , you know ? she -- she just wanted a - a healthy child . felix : it looks like she got just that . michael : you know , and raising a baby on her own -- if anyone can do it , i know sabrina can . if you say she 's happy , i 'm happy . felix : sabrina really did love you , michael .

[ jason sighs ] jason : are we done ? ric : the case is officially closed . emily : oh , god , i 'm so grateful . thank you . jason : yeah . you know what , i want elizabeth to have the life that she finally deserves , even if this is what it takes , ric . do n't trust him . no matter what elizabeth wants you to believe , he is not your friend . ric : your brother 's certainly consistent . emily : he did what you wanted , did n't he ? ric : yeah . capelli 's officially zander 's killer of record . i 'm going to take care of the paperwork . thank you both . emily : oh , god . nikolas : hey , hey . try not to worry . in this one instance , i think ric is trustworthy . he has the most to lose here . emily : yeah , i have to believe this is the best solution for everyone , even zander . courtney : hey . jason : what are you doing here ? courtney : oh , i just -- i had to pay a parking ticket . jason : you 're lying . just like in the courthouse when you said you were late because you ran out of gas . courtney : look , jason , it 's nothing you need to worry about . jason : no , courtney , it 's too late . i 'm asking you , trust me enough to tell me what 's going on .

[ scene_break ] carly : well ? are you gon na tell me ? monica : oh , carly , sonny . uh , i just heard about aj . how is he ? carly : he 's stable , monica , and -- and michael 's in there with him . sonny : hey , we ca n't have this conversation right here . carly : like you care about monica . sonny : i care about michael . carly : i understand that . but michael 's not here . michael 's in there . and i 'm not looking to have a conversation , sonny . it 's a yes - or - no question . did you shoot aj ? sonny : what do you care if i did ? [ scene_break ] duke : has sonny been charged with something ? anna : no , not yet . no . duke : well , this obviously is n't just idle curiosity . i mean , do you have some reason to suspect sonny of criminal activity ? anna : oh , please . yes . on a daily basis . but no . this is n't the usual run - of- the - mill coffee issue . aj quartermaine was shot . someone tried to kill him . i wanted to find out if it was sonny . [ scene_break ] scott : my friend lucy . what 's that supposed to mean ? franco : well , when they found you , one of the nurses told me that you 'd been admitted , so i wheeled myself down to your room . scott : i do n't remember seeing you . franco : you did n't ' see me . you were too engrossed in lucy . scott : well , you know lucy . she has a bit of a flair for the dramatics . give her a little something , and she 'll just play it to the hilt . franco : mm - hmm . scott : uh - huh ? what does that mean ? franco : uh - huh . i -- look , to me , it looked like you two were having a moment . scott : lucy 's married . any moments she 's having are with her husband . franco : just because she 's married does n't mean that you do n't have feelings for her . okay , look . i know that this is , you know , completely weird , because i 've never done anything like this in my life , but i 'm trying to help you out . scott : you do n't strike me as a helpful guy . franco : well , you went out on a limb for me . i 'm trying to return the favor . so ... if you want to talk about something , i 'm here to listen . if you got something you got to get off your chest , feel free . [ scene_break ] kevin : tracy , my wife and i are having lunch . lucy : that 's okay . hey , listen . i know how important your work is to you , doc , and , uh , apparently miss quartermaine really , really , really needs your help . tracy : i do n't know quite how to take that , but i do need to speak to you , kevin . lucy : okay , so then i 'm just gon na be going right now . kevin : but , lucy , what about the -- lucy : uh , the takeout . you should share it with tracy . ta . kevin : moo shu ? tracy : i 'll pass . kevin : well , what can i do to help , tracy ? tracy : luke and i got engaged last night . kevin : you 're questioning his sanity ? tracy : no . yes . not about the engagement . it 's -- it 's about what happened this morning . kevin : buyer 's remorse ? can in interest you in some kung pao ? tracy : this is serious . luke is not himself . he yelled at monica . kevin : and you have a problem with that ? tracy : kevin , monica and i have been at each other 's throats for decades , but i never kick her when she 's down . kevin : and luke kicked . tracy : she 'd just heard that her son had been shot . kevin : aj was shot ? tracy : and luke went in for the kill . he -- he brought up every terrible thing that monica has ever done and threw it in her face . it was brutal . kevin : you 're right . that does n't sound like him . tracy : it does n't . it does n't -- not the luke i know . [ scene_break ] luke : ah . you 're kiki , right ? mikey 's main squeeze ? kiki : that 's me . yeah . he 's not answering his phone . i stopped by his apartment , and he was n't there . so i came to check here . luke : well , i 'm afraid i have n't seen him . but you 're welcome to wait . mimosa ? [ scene_break ] monica : i must have driven from one side of port charles to the other side of port charles , stopping at every single bar . then my phone dies , and i do n't get any of your messages . michael : i 'm sorry . i should have tracked you down . monica : no , no . do n't apologize . i 'm just glad that you were here with him . i mean , i knew something terrible must have happened , but i - i honestly assumed he 'd just fallen off the wagon . as if he 's ever been on the wagon . i mean , listen to me . my son has been shot , and i 've been driving around in circles , waiting to catch him with a bottle in his hand . michael : you just wanted to help him . monica : oh , no . it was stupid , just wasting a lot of time and leaving you here alone to take of things all by yourself . i mean , even sonny and carly were here before me . michael : wait , my dad -- my dad 's here ? [ scene_break ] carly : what did you just say ? sonny : that you hate aj as much as i do . carly : do n't make this about me , okay ? if you did something -- sonny : you would be thrilled . admit it . carly : it 's not about my feelings about aj , okay ? i 'm worried about michael . sonny : so am i . what do you think i 'm doing here ? carly : you 're here -- you 're here praying that aj wo n't wake up . you 're here for damage control . and whether you like it or not , michael is aj 's biological son , and i heard that you promised michael that you would n't lay one finger on aj . look at me . did you break that promise ? [ scene_break ] duke : aj was shot ? anna : mm . duke : how is he ? anna : he 's in critical condition . duke : and he told you that sonny shot him ? anna : no , he did n't . he has n't regained consciousness . but when he does , we 'll question him . you seem shocked . duke : well , anna , i worked for the man . anna : and now you work for sonny . duke : and you suspect that sonny did this ? anna : yeah , he hates aj . duke : well , for good reason , when you consider what aj did to connie . anna : no , no . this goes back much further than that . i mean , sonny and aj , they -- both your bosses , as it happens -- they have been fighting over michael for his entire life . at one point , aj went off the rails and kidnapped michael and his two siblings , and he faked the boy 's death , and he faked his own death at some point . did n't anybody tell you this when you were working at elq ? duke : aj mentioned it , but he did n't go into such explicit detail . anna : my point being , sonny already despises aj even after he was acquitted for murdering connie . duke : so you think sonny may have just taken the law into his own hands ? anna : it wo n't be the first time . i need to account for his whereabouts , so let me rephrase this for you . do you know where sonny was last night ? [ scene_break ] luke : go ahead . it 's good for what ails you . kiki : thank you . i could use a drink . luke : that 's what i like to hear . whoa , nelly ! not that i 'm one to judge , but it is 5 : 00 somewhere . that 's hardly what i 'd call a recreational sip . kiki : so ... luke : so , what 's up ? trouble in paradise ? kiki : michael and i have had better times . i moved out . luke : you moved out . why ? kiki : it 's a really long story . let 's just say we disagree about franco . luke : so you broke up . kiki : no , no . not exactly . we want the relationship to work , so we just decided to ... take a step back . luke : that 's a very mature thing to do . kiki : right . luke : you 're much too young for only one man . [ scene_break ] tracy : luke is definitely not himself . kevin : the man was held captive for weeks . that could be enough to give anyone post - traumatic stress . tracy : mnh - mnh . it 's more than that . he was in restraints the whole time and drugged to the gills . there 's no telling what heather 's goons pumped him full of . that had to have had an effect . kevin : there have been studies that prolonged use of narcotics or hallucinogens can cause the kind of behavior shift that you 're describing . but i do n't think that 's the case here . i had a look at luke 's chart while he was still in the hospital . there was no trace of ect in his bloodstream . so unless we can get a confession from one of the guards ... tracy : they 're not gon na talk . kevin : there might be another way . tracy : i do n't think confronting luke is the best idea . kevin : not luke . someone he was locked up with . we can talk to scott baldwin . [ scene_break ] franco : i realize that you and i have been father and son for , well , yeah , you could probably count the days . but i 'm willing to fake it and pretend and delude ourselves , if that 's something you want to do . scott : [ chuckles ] well , y - you do have a sense of humor . i guess you got that from me . franco : well , on a serious note , it 's no good for anyone to keep their feelings bottled up . kevin : well , if you must know -- [ knock on door ] franco : oh , thank god . lucy : scott ? franco : saved by the knock . lucy : hey . are -- are you in there ? it 's me , lucy . you be quiet . scott : hey , lucy . lucy : hi . i 'm so glad you 're home . i - i -- i really need to talk to you . hi . hello , franco . franco : hi . hello , lucy . lucy : oh , i 'm sorry . am i interrupting ? franco : oh , you 're totally interrupting , and i for one am so glad . [ sighs ] um ... that was a great talk . lucy : um ... that was great of him to stop by ? that was nice ? uh ... scott : yes , yes , yes , it was . lucy : um , it 's very nice to see you . scott : and it 's nice to see you . and now that we 've seen each other , i think you should follow franco 's lead and go . [ scene_break ] duke : last night ? sonny and i were together . we were working . anna : is there anyone else that can corroborate that ? duke : no , i doubt it . we were together at the warehouse , just the two of us . anna : i see . duke : you do n't believe me ? anna : does n't matter if i believe you . it 's whether a jury will . duke : sonny has n't even been charged with anything . is n't talk of a jury -- is n't that a little premature ? anna : i do n't know . that 's up to the da . that 's his call . he might relish the opportunity to go to trial , at which point it 's out of my hands . he 'll call you to testify . if you lie under oath , that 'll be perjury . i do n't want to go down that road with you . you 're telling me the truth about this , about where sonny was . or are you lying to protect your boss ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you got a lot of nerve throwing michael in my face after what you did . carly : what are you talking about ? sonny : i 'm talking about franco . you went missing . michael came to me . he was so worried . franco 's mother held you hostage . why ? because you did n't have the sense to stay away from the man who had something to do with michael getting raped in prison . carly : you saw the video . he did not . sonny : yeah , i did . yeah , and so did michael . and he begged you . he begged you to stay away . carly : i am not gon na do this with you , okay ? you are changing the subject and trying to make this about franco when it is about you . and the way you keep avoiding is telling me everything i need to know . sonny : no , you do n't know what you 're talking about . carly : oh , i do n't know ? [ chuckles ] you know what ? i know that if you had nothing to do with it , you would have already answered me . but instead you 're trying to make this about me . you 're trying to bring up franco . what ? michael : what 's going on out here ? sonny : we 're just having a conversation . michael : what are you talking about ? sonny : talking about , uh ... who shot aj . michael : dad , what do you mean ? do you -- do you know who shot aj ? sonny : i do . i know . [ scene_break ] duke : you think i 'm lying ? really , anna ? anna : it 's impossible not to think that . sonny is a criminal . duke : well , strictly speaking , he is not . he 's never been convicted of a crime . anna : exactly . because he requires his employees to vouch for him , which is one of the many reasons that i object to you working for him . it puts us in an impossible situation . i know he requires you to lie . so like it or not , i am always gon na question your honesty . duke : i 'm not gon na apologize for sonny 's behavior in the past , because i do n't know much about it . if you remember correctly , i was n't in town for most of it . anna : oh , come on ! that 's no excuse . you know what he is . duke : i know exactly what he is , and what he is serves my purpose . he 's determined to bring down jerome , as am i . anna : i get it . i understand your need to even the score with jerome . duke : it 's not about evening the score ! it 's about destroying julian jerome . he 's dangerous . anna : you honestly believe wading back into the thick of it is gon na help us ? duke : anna , you are the commissioner of police . you are standing in julian 's way . he 's not gon na stop after sonny . he 's gon na come after you . why ca n't you understand that ? anna : because you could say that about any criminal enterprise . duke : this is a per -- this is personal . anna : i know . i know the risks . i get it . and trust me , i will be relieved when jerome is -- is out of commission . i will . but , no , i ca n't condone you working for sonny . everything he does on every day , he hurts innocent people . duke : why do you suspect corinthos ? do you have any evidence ? anna : no , i do n't . not at the moment . no . duke : oh , so i see . so this is just the round up the usual suspects . it 's just a witch hunt on sonny day . anna : no , i - i have another suspect in custody . i do . duke : really ? who ? [ scene_break ] michael : you know who shot aj ? sonny : the police have julian jerome in custody . carly : they do ? sonny : that 's what i 've been trying to say . um , i guess they found julian over aj 's body , and the gun was in his hand . michael : wait , julian jerome . why -- why would julian shoot aj ? sonny : why ? i do n't know . i mean , i do n't -- i do n't know . i just came by to see how you 're doing . michael : [ sighs ] thanks , dad , but i 'm not so good . they do n't know if aj 's gon na make it . sonny : listen , bud , um ... i know this is difficult for you , and i 'm sorry . but i 'm here for you , okay ? [ scene_break ] lucy : you want me to leave ? scott : no , i do n't . but you have to . lucy : why ? scott : because ... if you stay ... we are gon na come up with a reason why we should end up in that bed . lucy : would that be so terrible ? scott : no . it would be heaven . but then you would realize that you got to get back to kevin . so i think that you should go , lucy , and never come back again . lucy : go and never come back -- w - what are you saying ? you do n't want to see me anymore at all ? scott : lucy , this is tearing me apart . i 've got you here . i want to take you in my arms here . then i got to give you back to kevin . i do n't want to share you with anybody , and i wo n't . besides , it 's just a question of time before kevin figures this all out . lucy : kevin does n't suspect a thing . scott : that 's because he does n't want to suspect anything . lucy : [ sighs ] scott : i 've known ... franco for about 20 minutes . and he knows . lucy : franco knows ? scott : yeah . and he 's right . i should n't deny my feelings . i do n't want to be a side guy . i want to be the only guy in your life , lucy . lucy : so what are you saying ? it 's all or nothing ? scott : that 's right . you either choose me , or you choose kevin . [ scene_break ] kevin : i 'll talk to scott , see what he remembers . tracy : really ? you and scott are n't exactly ... close . kevin : we have lucy in common , and any friend of lucy 's ... tracy : really ? is , uh , that what he is ? kevin : what do you mean ? tracy : well , um , lucy and i rode into the hospital together when luke and scott were brought in , and lucy was ... overjoyed . kevin : well , he 'd been missing . she was concerned . tracy : and then some . kevin : what are you driving at , tracy ? tracy : you know , my experience , maybe , has made me a little cynical , and it is definitely none of my business . however , having said that , if it was me , i would keep my eyes open . kevin : i 'll take it under advisement . but trust me , i have nothing to worry about . tracy : hope i can say the same for luke . [ scene_break ] luke : i understand how tough this must be for you . relationships are a bitch . especially with someone as young and tender as you are . kiki : okay ! thank you so ... um , uh , thank -- uh , i , uh , need to get -- find michael . luke : hey , well , need your little boy blue -- try the hospital . kiki : the hospital ? why would he be there ? what happened to him ? luke : oh , do n't get your panties in a twist . it is n't him . his father got hurt . kiki : which father -- sonny ? luke : no , sonny 's okay , as far as i know . kiki : so it 's aj . luke : yeah , aj got himself shot last night . kiki : shot ? ! why did n't you tell me that earlier ? ! luke : you did n't ask . kiki : i have to get to the hospital . luke : mm - hmm . bye - bye . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i got to get back to work , but if you need me , you know , you call me , okay ? michael : yeah , thanks for coming by . carly : we 're not done . sonny : yes , we 're done . michael : it must have been pretty tough for dad to come here , given the circumstances . i mean , he 's not exactly aj 's biggest fan . carly : yeah . sorry we were arguing . i know you do n't need the added stress . michael : nah , you guys fight a lot . not that i love it , but , i mean , it does n't worry me much . what i 'm trying to say is you 're family , my family , and i 'm kind of used to it . carly : we love you . so much . michael : i love you , too . carly : let 's go , um , get some coffee or , you know , a snack -- pizza . michael : no , i - i 'm gon na stay , actually . carly : really ? we -- we can actually take a walk , too . you know , i got to get used to this boot - cast thing . michael : no , you go ahead . carly : okay . all right . i - i 'll come back . michael : mom , um ... look , what dad said about julian , i do n't think aj even knows the guy . i mean , w - what possible motivation would he have ? carly : i do n't know . the police must be convinced , or they would n't have brought him in , right ? kiki : michael ? why did n't you call me ? i just found out about your dad . carly : i 'm gon na take off . michael : okay . kiki : oh , i 'm s -- carly : no . kiki : i did n't mean to chase her off . michael : it 's okay . kiki : why did n't you call me ? no matter what 's going on between you and me , i will always be there for you , okay ? you have to know that . michael : okay , look , i was n't trying to say something by not -- not calling you , okay ? it 's just everything happened so fast . kiki : you do know that i 'm always here for you , right ? michael : yeah . thank you . so how did you find out ? kiki : well , um , i went looking for you at the q 's . michael : and ? kiki : and i had a really ... weird run - in with luke spencer .

[ scene_break ] duke : you have julian jerome in custody , and you 're still coming after sonny ? anna : yes , because it 's circumstantial evidence , and i would n't be doing my job if i did n't consider other possibilities . duke : and you do n't think it 's possible that julian jerome is capable of trying to kill somebody ? anna : of course , he is . that 's why i 'm investigating . i - i 'm sorry . are you calling into question my methods ? now you 're back in the game ? you 're an expert on law and order ? duke : you do n't have to be an expert to recognize bias . anna : julian does n't have the motive . sonny , on the other hand , does . he despises aj . i 'm sure he would want him dead and has so for many years . so maybe you should do your research before you start telling me what to do with my job . sonny : commissioner . what 'd i miss ? anna : oh , nothing . i just came by to ask about your whereabouts last night . and , um , duke -- he filled me in . you were with him . yeah ? sonny : yeah . we were working together . uh ... warehouse . what about it ? anna : no , nothing . just interesting timing . but , i mean , if you were with duke , then you could n't possibly have had anything to do with this crime that was committed . is that right ? you had nothing to do with aj 's shooting . [ scene_break ] lucy : i just came to see if scott was okay . kevin : you just got done telling me that he was fine -- better than fine -- and that he can take care of himself . lucy : he can . um , and y - you know , you 're the one that got me going on this when you started talking about him being captured and -- and drugged and restrained , you know , that i worry , and you know what happens when i worry . i have to do something about it . so here i am . i had to check on ... make sure he 's okay . kevin : mm - hmm . and ? how is he ? scott : lucy 's right . i 'm fine . lucy : right , so , uh , what are you doing here ? kevin : i came to see scott . scott : that would make sense , since this is my room . what can i do for you , kevin ? kevin : actually , i 'd like to talk to you about luke spencer and what happened to him while the two of you were locked up in miscavige . [ scene_break ] luke : i am sorry , tracy , for what i said to monica . i 'll go kiss her ring or whatever it takes to make it right . it 's just that i - i know how she gets to you , and my protective instinct went a little overboard . tracy : a little ? luke : the one person i never want to hurt is you . i hope you can forgive me . tracy : of course , i can forgive you . you 've been through a hideous ordeal . you 're lucky to be alive . you 're gon na have an occasional outburst . luke : or three . it 's just that i ... i just never want to hurt you . you 're the only good thing in my life . tracy : thank you for that . luke : so , where were you ? tracy : running an errand . not important .

[ scene_break ] michael : what ? so , carlos is alive , and you say sabrina 's with him ? sonny : yes . michael : why would she go with him ? she cares too much about her baby to go on the run with a murderer . sonny : he probably thinks nobody -- nobody 's gon na go looking for him 'cause they think he 's dead , and he persuaded her that it was safe . michael : then she made a serious mistake for herself and the baby .

[ scene_break ] michael : when sabrina and i broke up ... i told her i could 've loved the baby if , uh , she was truthful with me from the start . but she -- she -- she was n't , so that was that . [ sighs ] she did n't tell me she was leaving , though . she left me a note saying goodbye , wishing me well . sonny : that 's the last you heard ? michael : yeah . felix shared with me a postcard that he got from -- from sabrina from puerto rico . sonny : that -- that does n't mean anything 'cause he could 've had a contact mail it for him . michael : i mean , just today ... just today , felix showed me a picture of the baby that sabrina sent him . he insisted that she 's happy . sonny : she 's happy with carlos . and you 're gon na have to figure out a way to live with that , no matter what happens to him . michael : what does that mean ? [ scene_break ] anna : so , when you -- you talk to dr. munro , um , does he seem , like , awkward or inarticulate ? andré : just the opposite . i 'm sorry . i wish i could shed some more light on this for you . anna : mm . that 's okay . it was a long shot , calling you . andré : was it ? anna : mm . yeah . what do you mean ? andré : i think it 's possible you called me as a friend or ... maybe as a professional or ... ? anna : you are my friend . andré : mm . anna : who 's ... dating my other friend , jordan . and i 'm your patient ? are n't i ? andré : well , you have n't officially fired me , so , technically , yes , you are . anna : all right , then . what else is there ? andré : right .

[ sighs ] [ chuckles ] it 's funny . i miss this place , even though there are , like , a million coffee shops in seattle . brad : yeah . no surprise there . is n't it , like , ground zero of the coffee revolution ? lucas : yeah , but not all the places there are gourmet or tragically hip , full of dudes with mustaches . some are just like this -- just basic diners with good food . there was this one place a couple of blocks from where i lived . oh , man . i always insisted on going there . brad : let me guess . killer blts ? lucas : as close as you can get to kelly 's . and that 's what i just realized . i used to love going there , because it reminded me of home . brad : wait , wait , wait . so the whole time you were living in seattle , you did n't know you were homesick ? lucas : mm . well , i went to college on the west coast . seattle 's a great city . and i love to be outside . i love to play sports . and i do n't mind the rain , so it seemed like a perfect fit . the thing that never occurred to me , at least until now , is the reason why i stayed . nobody in seattle knows anything about my family . nobody cares that my uncle is the legendary luke spencer . nobody cares that my sister is the ex - wife of one of the biggest mobsters on the eastern seaboard . brad : crap . that never occurred to me . lucas : what ? brad : well , everybody knows carly jacks used to be carly corinthos , and sonny corinthos and julian jerome have got this power struggle going on , which -- i do n't know -- has got to make it real uncomfortable for you and your sister . i mean , especially you trying to get to know your bio dad . lucas : oh , no .

[ scene_break ] carly : so you went through brad 's phone . felix : wait , that 's what you took from my whole sad story ? i did n't go through his phone . the text just popped up . carly : and then you went through his phone . felix : okay , why are we focusing on my slight social faux pas ? brad was the one that slept with someone else . carly : fine . i am on your side . i really am . felix : thanks . i do n't know if i am . carly : what are you talking about ? felix : well , it 's not like brad and i said we 'd be exclusive . i mean , we 'd just started dating . [ sighs ] i need to stop focusing on those things . sometimes i think i 'm the only ... hmm - something who thinks sex is a big deal , that it 's important , who wants to , you know , wait for the right moment before going there with someone . i guess i 'm just too old - fashioned for my own good . carly : no , you 're not . do n't talk like that about yourself . there 's nothing wrong with taking a relationship slowly . felix : hey , i was under the impression that was n't your style . carly : uh , yeah , i can be a bit impulsive . we both know that . but there have been times where i waited , and i 'm almost always glad that i did . look , if you want a special bond with someone , then you deserve to be with someone who wants the same thing . felix : i guess . carly : no , definitely . and if brad wants to pick up some random guy at a bar and not it for the prize you are , that 's his problem . who was the himbo , anyway ? felix : some dude named lucas . carly : lucas ? you said lucas ? felix : yeah , lucas jones . sounds like a low - rent porn star , if you ask me . carly : uh , no . no porn star . my brother . [ scene_break ] brad : your father is being held for questioning ? what about ? lucas : yeah , aj quartermaine was shot last night . they do n't think he 's gon na make it . brad : [ sighs ] and the cops think julian jerome did it ? lucas : no arrest yet , but it 's coming . they got a pretty strong case . brad : how do you know ? lucas : well , one way or another , i 'm related to half the people in port charles , including my cousin 's husband , the police detective . the cops walked in and found julian with a gun in his hand , standing over aj quartermaine 's body . brad : what does julian have to say ? lucas : oh , he 's innocent , of course . that he just walked in and ... oh , did i mention that the shooting actually happened at the penthouse where julian 's staying ? brad : no . lucas : yeah . he 's staying there with his sister . anyway , so julian says that he walked in , saw aj lying in a pool of blood with the gun next to him , so he thought the shooter might still be in the apartment . so he picked up the gun to defend himself . brad : that is either the most feeble cover story i 've ever heard ... or it 's so ridiculous that it actually might be true . lucas : yeah , well , it gets worse . aj quartermaine is the biological father of carly 's son michael . brad : geez . when you said you were related to half of the city , you were n't kidding . lucas : yeah , i mean , what am i supposed to say to michael if aj dies ? `` oh , hey , man , sorry . god , i guess julian really was as bad as everyone said . `` brad : [ sighs ] slow down . i do n't see how your nephew or anyone else , for that matter , could blame you for what julian did , all right ? so stop blaming yourself . lucas : i just feel like an idiot . i knew what julian was about . even if half the people i know had n't warned me about him , all i had to do was run an internet search . the guy 's got a criminal record a mile long . the only reason he walked away from it is because he cut some kind of deal . i mean , as soon as he came back to port charles , he started a war with sonny -- shootouts , warehouse explosions . it 's -- i mean , yeah , the guy 's my dad , says he wants to get to know me . sure , he 's a homophobic bigot , but , ah , hey , wants to try to get past that . i just ca n't believe that i -- that i fell for that . you know , i actually considered having a relationship with this guy . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] shawn : just so we 're both perfectly clear , when i said that you and molly could n't move in with each other , that was not an invitation that she could move in with us either . tj : yeah , thanks . i figured that . shawn : look , you know , she 's too young , and alexis definitely would n't go along with that . tj : yeah , okay , well , she 's not moving out on her own , okay ? she 's moving in with her father . shawn : ric lansing ? tj : yeah . what about him ? shawn : oh , that 's not a good idea .

[ scene_break ] aj : [ coughing ] michael : dad , dad , take it easy . can you get this thing out of his mouth ? monica : no , no , no , no . try not to fight it , aj . we have to wait for the icu unit . michael : h - he 's awake . monica : he woke up agitated . he 's been trying to speak . doctor : i need you to relax for me , aj . kiki : he 's talking , michael ? michael : yeah , he seems to recognize us . we ca n't really understand him , because of the tube in his mouth , but he seems like himself . kiki : that 's so great . that 's so great . michael : i just hope he can tell us who did this to him . [ scene_break ] sonny : aj got what was coming to him ? you really mean that ? olivia : i do . i do . and i know that that sounds terrible . and you know that i would never actively wish harm on any person . but i just -- i do n't have it in my heart to feel sorry for aj quartermaine . because you know what ? connie was unarmed . she was defenseless . and he left her to bleed out on this office floor . and then he walked out of here , fell through the cracks of the system , and got off scot free . sonny : i 'm not arguing with you . you know how i feel about aj . olivia : i 'm glad it was julian jerome that did it . i 'm glad he got caught . that guy has been putting you and morgan and everybody i love in danger for months now . sonny : you know what ? he 's a serious threat , julian . olivia : anna catching him red - handed . man , you want to talk about killing two birds with one stone . [ scene_break ] julian : i told you , commissioner , i picked up the gun for my own protection after i found aj shot and lying on the floor . ric : there . simple enough . you have as much evidence to corroborate my client 's story as you do to refute it . you have no reason to hold him here . anna : no reason other than his past criminal acts , many of which i 'm personally familiar with . ric : ah . oh , so this is a personal grudge against mr. jerome . i must say , if that 's the case , then i will have to bring a rather large lawsuit against the county , the city , and you , as well , miss devane . you know , from what i hear from the short time that i 've been back , mayor lomax is just looking for a reason to kick you to the curb . you know what ? i 'm happy to give her one . so here 's the deal , commissioner . you release my client immediately , or you lose your job and every penny that you have . anna : why go to so much trouble , mr. lansing ? all you have to do is ask your client to give us the name of the person he was with when the crime was committed . [ scene_break ] brad : [ sighs ] lucas : sorry for the meltdown . brad : no , no . it 's fine . lucas : [ chuckles ] okay , it 's not like i have a big emotional investment in julian . i just met him . i mostly did n't like him . and now i wo n't need to get to know him any better . brad : what if he 's innocent ? lucas : seriously ? we 're talking about julian jerome , mob kingpin here . brad : yeah , but like i said , the story he told the cops -- i mean , it 's so ludicrous that it almost has to be true . i mean , would n't any self - respecting gangster call in a couple of henchmen to get rid of the body ? or at least have the presence of mind to wipe his prints from the gun . lucas : maybe he did n't have time . brad : or maybe , as awful as he is , julian jerome did n't commit this particular crime . and if it turns out that he 's innocent ... all right , maybe `` innocent 's `` too strong a word . let 's try ... lucas : yeah . brad : ... not culpable . are you willing to give him a chance ? lucas : [ sighs ] i do n't know . would you want to get to know your gangster father if you had the chance ? brad : lucky for me , i 'll never have to decide . lucas : maybe i wo n't either . if julian 's found guilty , i can cut ties and walk away . brad : but is that what you want ? lucas : i do n't know what i want . i do n't know what the hell i want to do about anything right now , especially julian . i do n't even know how i ...

[ scene_break ] anna : you must agree that your client could save us a lot of time and trouble if he would just give us the name of his alibi . ric : there 's no reason to reveal his identity . anna : why ? 'cause the less said about this person , the less likely that they exist . ric : i think that we should get back to the lawsuit that i 'm gon na file on behalf of my client . anna : you 're living up to your unsavory reputation , are n't you ? i ca n't imagine that these intimidating tactics worked with mac scorpio when you were last here . and quite frankly , i find it very offensive that you think they 're going to work with me . as for the mayor , i 'll take my chances . i have the law and the facts on my side in this instance , and until i find any evidence clearing your client , he 's gon na spend the next day behind bars . officer : commissioner -- anna : and a lot longer if i have my way . yes ? officer : you 're needed in your office . anna : oh . okay . i have to go . i have something to attend to . ric : we 're not through with this . anna : yes , we 're through . julian : so ... you 're the man with the plan . what do we do now ? [ scene_break ] olivia : [ sighs ] i know that the best thing that i can do right now is just accept this for what it is and move on , stop thinking about it , but there 's just ... there 's something that keeps bothering me . i mean , why would julian want to kill aj ? sonny : i thought i told you that , you know , aj was looking for a job with the jeromes . olivia : right . right , you said that . you said that . but would n't that make you an asset ? huh ? why would n't , uh , julian want to use you against him ? why would he want him dead ? sonny : you got me . olivia : maybe aj would n't take no for an answer . maybe -- maybe when julian turned him down , he just kept pushing it and pushing it , you know , the way he did with connie . and i - i 'm sorry that i 'm taking any satisfaction from this . you know that i love michael like he was my own son , right ? and he 's got to be in a world of pain right now . to think ... michael thought aj was safe because you promised not to hurt him . now someone else comes in and tries to kill him . [ scene_break ] kiki : here . michael : here . here , here . doctor : we need aj to take it easy . his body 's been through an extreme trauma . do whatever you can to keep him relaxed . he may be awake , but he 's not out of the woods yet . monica : okay . thank you very much . michael : do you know where you are ? that 's good . that 's good . that 's good . you just had surgery . you were shot . do you remember what happened to you ? sonny : i 'm done listening to you ! i 'm done ! aj : i did n't kill connie !

[ scene_break ] alexis : i do n't think i need to remind you of all the things that your father has done . i think i 've been very honest with you about the people that he works with and the places . he worked with faith roscoe and the zaccharas . molly : oh , okay , so you mean mobsters . you represent uncle sonny ! and you 've always told me that it 's because you believe so strongly in the bill of rights , that everyone is entitled to a proper defense . is n't that just what dad was doing ? alexis : you are not moving in with your father , period ! the end ! molly : oh , my god ! you suck ! alexis : what ? ! do n't you use that tone with me , young lady ! [ door slams ] alexis : [ sighs ] that went well . [ doorbell rings ] alexis : now what ? ! [ scene_break ] sonny : when aj showed up , crawling back home after years of hiding , i knew michael was the one who 's gon na pay the price . aj latched on to michael . would n't let him go , whining about being his father and needing him and ... aj 's not michael 's father . he 's a drunk who had a one - night stand with carly , and michael was the result . i raised michael . he 's my son . and i hate that he 's going through this right now , that he 's at the hospital , sitting vigil for that son of a bitch . olivia : sonny -- sonny : he should not have to be going through this , and i do n't know -- [ knock on door ] shawn : sonny ? hey , olivia . how you doing ? olivia : shawn . sonny : hey . i did n't know -- i did n't know you were gon na come back tonight . shawn : yeah , i just got some information . um , one of our friends in the know just texted me . julian got himself a new lawyer . sonny : diane will take any case as long as the check clears . shawn : not talking about diane .

[ scene_break ] felix : you 're right . no matter how this shakes down , i should try to talk to brad . carly : yeah . yeah , you really took your time deciding if you should give brad a chance . i do n't think you should just walk away now . felix : you 're right . you 're right . girl , you are always right . carly : always right .

[ scene_break ] alexis : as usual , your timing is impeccable . ric : i 'm not interrupting -- alexis : yes , you 're interrupting ! you 're barging into my life , and you 're making a mess of everything . ric : okay , i 'll come back in the morning . alexis : no , you wo n't . get in here . this is a perfect opportunity for me to tell you that our daughter is not moving in with you . what were you thinking ? ric : i was just trying to help . obviously you two are at odds . alexis : and you 're taking advantage of it . ric : alexis , i am not the reason that you and molly are fighting , okay ? molly is trying to grow up , and you 're not letting her . do n't you think you two could use some space ? alexis : no ! unlike you , i 'm not a fan of long - distance parenting . and next time you want to question my judgment , come to me . do not go to our daughter and give her everything she wants , which makes me have to play the bad cop . ric : yeah , but you 're so good at it . okay , i 'm sorry that i did n't come to you first before i told molly that she could move in with me . but that 's not the reason that i 'm here . alexis : oh ? ric : yeah , i decided to , uh , to take julian 's case . alexis : did you get him released ? ric : no , not yet . devane 's determined to make this stick . she 's holding him for a full 48 hours unless she can find evidence to clear him .

[ scene_break ] brad : i do n't know , lucas . i mean ... i do n't want you to feel like you 're some kind of ... silver medal to felix . lucas : that 's a little overdramatic , do n't you think ? it 's not like we were involved in some epic love triangle . you did n't choose felix over me . it was n't some competition . brad : no , it 's ... [ scoffs ] it is just my luck that i met you right when felix decides to give me a chance . lucas : yeah , that 's kind of my point . we barely know each other . but ... i 'd like to get to know you better . you 'd like that , too . brad : felix . felix : it 's okay . i can get my coffee somewhere else . brad : hey . you do n't have to leave . lucas : [ sighs ] felix : i do n't think we ever were formally introduced . felix dubois . lucas : lucas jones . felix : barely recognized you with your clothes on . so , i take it you two are seeing each other now . lucas : actually , we were just discussing that . felix : all right . well , far be it for me to get in the middle . brad : felix . felix , wait . felix : no , no . there 's nothing to say . like i said , you and lucas seem to have more in common than we do . i hope it works out for the both of you . brad : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : molly ? honey , please come in here so we can talk . i do n't want to leave things like this . mol ?

[ scene_break ] ric : commissioner . i was surprised that your office called . i hope you did n't bring me down here to harass my client again . i 'm a very , very busy man -- anna : then i suggest you stop talking . julian : something has , uh , happened . anna : aj quartermaine regained consciousness . i was told he stated that julian jerome is not the person who shot him . you 're free to go . julian : well , you know , commissioner , maybe next time ... you 'll listen to me . anna : unlikely . ric : well , this is certainly fun . but i suggest you focus less on harassing my client and more on finding out who really did shoot aj . [ scene_break ] olivia : well , i got to get back to work . i would say , given how high tensions are running over at the hospital , i would steer clear if i were you . sonny : yeah , last thing michael needs to hear is -- is monica unloading on carly and me . i just want to make sure that my son knows that i 'm there for him . olivia : sonny , he knows . sonny : all right . see you around . olivia : see you . see you , shawn . shawn : she has no idea what really went down , does she ? sonny : no , thank god she did n't -- she did n't hear anything .

[ scene_break ] michael : you 're quitting ? sabrina : there is n't a job to quit , and i really need the money . felix has been floating my rent ever since i got fired , but i ca n't expect him to do that forever . it 's time to get back to work . somebody 's got to hire me , right ? michael : yeah . maybe i can help you with that .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : he won ? i 'm sorry . alexis : full custody .

[ scene_break ] nadine : i only helped you because i figured you needed some more time to figure out what you wanted to do . nikolas : i know what i want to do . nadine : yeah , that 's what worries me . look , i have so much to say , to thank you for . you risked your life coming to find me in that elevator shaft . and i know why you did it . you know , you could n't save emily , so -- nikolas : no , that 's not true . you know , it 's not always about emily . i wanted to help you . nadine : well , you put your mind and body at risk over and over again . and now you 're insisting on getting up after being resuscitated only a few hours ago . you ca n't risk leaving and collapsing again . you do realize you almost died in that o.r . today ? nikolas : yeah , that 's what i wanted . emily did come to say goodbye to me . but i did n't want her to leave , so i -- so i followed her . and then -- and then she just left . nadine : she left because she wanted you to live . nikolas : in the end , maybe that 's what i wanted , too . nadine : what changed your mind ? spencer : daddy ! nikolas : oh . [ scene_break ] mike : spinelli -- spinelli : yeah ? mike : there were three names of interest on that list you gave me . spinelli : yeah . is it -- is it possible that one or more of them might be the pernicious peddlers that you saw with the little dude ? mike : yeah , we got j. tomkins , j. trujillo , and j. toomey . now , one of the guys that sold bullets to michael was called `` j.t. `` i 'm going to check these guys out . spinelli : okay . may justice soar with you . mike : justice ?

[ scene_break ] claudia : look , people like you and me -- we do n't fall in love , right ? sonny : i 'm nothing like you . do n't -- do n't -- claudia : okay , okay . we possess , because we bore easily . so we consume and we exhaust , and then we move on . now , we do n't have the patience . and we do n't have the manners for love . so we settle for sex . sonny : are you going to take your clothes off ? claudia : family is the only thing that we have in common . because family is the one place where what we do counts as love . because -- so , we hold on to that for dear life , because that 's all we have . i know how you feel about michael , because that 's how i feel about my johnny . i would never do anything to take your son from you . sonny : maybe not , but you 're not trevor -- claudia : yeah , but trevor is a scavenger . he 's an opportunist , sonny . he will absolutely take advantage of whatever happened to michael , and kate howard . but instigating it ? that requires risk , and that 's not trevor 's style . he hates you , yes , but , sonny , he 's not stupid . he 's not stupid . he 's just waiting for you to play right into his hands . sonny : i do n't know if i can trust you or trevor from one second to the next . so i 'm keeping johnny , until you give me something to trade for , something i want . claudia : she ca n't keep up . kate howard ? she 'll slip and fall . and she 'll get crushed under your wheels . just saying [ scene_break ] monica : hello . kate : hi . um -- i actually asked for dr. julian . monica : yes , i know , i know , but he is not available , so dr. ford asked me to look at you . is that okay ? kate : yeah . no , that 's fine . monica : so what seems to be the problem ? kate : there 's something wrong . [ scene_break ] scott : these are all car parts . what 's he going to do with these things ? lulu : maybe you can ask him when he wakes up . you have to think that way , because if you do n't believe that he wakes up , he 'll hear it , and he 'll feel it , and he 'll know it . scott : well , my thinking is a little screwed up right now , lulu . obviously , he was into cars and stuff , huh ? lulu : yeah , he learned to strip engines when he was in iraq . he said it kept his hands busy and his head down . scott : you know , lulu , i do n't know anything about logan . he had a whole life before i met him . had a whole life here that i just dismissed . i 'd like to be able to help him , and that 's what i meant when i said to you i do n't want you to do this . i thought maybe i could talk him out of this coma , but i do n't know anything about him . neither one of us took the time to find out . so you know what ? you do the honors . you put him here . bring him back . [ scene_break ] johnny : guess it 'd be too much to ask for another pen ? milo : got orders from mr. c. let 's just say you wo n't be needing a pen anymore . all right , let 's go .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : okay , so going south and east would logically lead little dude to this pier into a one of these three boats , christened big sue ii through iv . one can only imagine what sue did to be thrice memorable . maxie : i do n't think that really matters . we 're making progress . spinelli : yes , this is true . the overworked , underpaid docks man did recognize little dude 's pictures . maxie : only because i charmed him into telling us . spinelli : ooh , jackal , p.i . , senses that maybe there 's a need for credit where credit perhaps is n't due . maxie : oh . okay . well , then i do n't need to tell you how i know this is the boat that michael was on . [ scene_break ] patrick : hey , what -- what are you doing ? robin : i came to see about nikolas . patrick : robin , you were just kicked in the stomach . i do n't give a damn about anything else . robin : i had the wind knocked out of me . patrick : and the doctor who diagnoses herself is a fool . robin : has a fool for a patient , i know . the patient you should be concerned with here is nikolas . patrick : yeah , well , nikolas is awol . vanished without a trace , and i ca n't keep chasing him around the city . it 's all i can do for him as a doctor . well , why are you not still with kelly ? robin : because kelly agreed with dr. ford that i 'm okay . patrick : what about the baby ? robin : i said i 'm okay ! patrick : yes , of course you 're okay , because you 're back to being hostile and impatient . you know , when i carried you out of there , you actually leaned on me , and that 's when i knew that there was something seriously wrong . but suddenly everything 's back to normal . robin : suddenly you decide to turn around and tell everyone that we 're having a baby . you have no right to do that . patrick : i have every right . [ scene_break ] ian : is there a reason i 've been paged to meet you down in the bowels of the hospital ? nikolas : i think you 're the only one who can help me now . ian : i 've tried to help you before . so has half this hospital and you 've done your best to throw it back in all of our faces . nikolas : yeah , that 's because you do n't understand . nobody understands except for -- ian : nurse crowell , yeah . nikolas : she knows what i see . ian : hallucinations . nikolas : no , it 's more than that . ian : you do n't see things , do you ? nikolas : things ? no . ian : no , you see someone -- someone you loved , someone you lost . and if this tumor is removed , your heightened sense of vision will disappear . you 're not ready to say goodbye . nikolas : no . ian : no one 's ever ready . nikolas : i went after her as she was leaving and i followed her . ian : from what i hear , you damn near succeeded , so why bother coming back ? it seems like your choice is pretty clear . nikolas : i have a son . ian : you 're not ready to say goodbye to him , either . nikolas : no . [ ian sighs ] ian : so what are we doing here , mr. cassadine ? nikolas : there was an experimental medication that you spoke of . ian : yeah , that was supposed to reduce the size of the tumor , to make surgery less risky , but that 's not what you 're looking for , is it ? nikolas : no . ian : no , you want both your lady and your little boy . well , i 'm sorry -- that drug is n't going to give you what you 're looking for . nikolas : well , i 'm betting that you had another idea all along , something that would give me what i want . and you do , do n't you ? ian : nothing that dr. drake and dr. scorpio would approve of . nikolas : well , they 're not dying -- i am . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm not going to let you pretend that i 'm not the father of your baby . robin : until what ? until i feel guilty and let you in ? patrick : until you let me support you . robin : and how long are you going to do that for , huh ? how long until you start to get bored or feel tied down ? patrick : robin , i do n't know . look , i -- i do n't know if i 'll ever feel that way and you do n't , either . robin : yeah , that 's just it -- you do n't know . i know what i want . have been committed to this child from the very beginning . i want it . patrick : you wanted one with me once , even when i said i was n't sure . robin : okay , you have made your case , i have listened to you , but i am far more certain of what you 'll do than you are . patrick : of course , you are , because you 've already mapped it out in your head . there 's no room for change . i 'm never going to change . you 're so determined to be right , so determined to do this on your own , to push me aside . you 're going to raise this baby alone in spite , and our baby is going to pay the price . robin : unlike the price of having you as a father ? see , right now , you 're just -- you 're angry with me because i did n't tell you . i 've wounded your pride . patrick : hey -- what ? robin : so you do n't shoot blanks -- i mean , good for you ; you have sperm . so do a thousand other guys in the donor bank -- it does n't make them any more father material than it does you . you said that you did n't want a family , so you can not stand here and tell me now that you do . patrick : why are you -- why are you saying this ? you want to hurt me so badly that i 'll just give up ? robin : i -- i do n't know why . no , i 'm doing this because i love you . patrick : and i love -- and i love you . robin : and if we go down that road , we are going to hate each other and i will not subject my child to that . patrick : robin [ scene_break ] maxie : this is the trademark tag for free reign denim , worn by teens , tweens , and juniors from upper - middle - class families , and i noticed when you enhanced that picture of michael so you could see the background , that he was wearing these pants . i saw the stitching on the back . so , deduction -- michael was on this boat and he probably went to hide under that tarp next to the cargo and when he went to get off , this ripped off his pant pocket . spinelli : jackal , p.i . , is oddly impressed despite himself -- an elementary deduction by fashion statement . maxie : i guess i navigate by makeup . huh . spinelli : your mood , although rarely as constant as the north star , has curiously dipped . maxie : i think it 's because i just realized how shallow my life is -- hmm -- or i am . i lost my sister , and i lost coop . spinelli : look , you 've just temporarily lost direction , that 's all . maxie : as if i had any . the only direction i used to have was just to head for the closest pair of broad shoulders in my field of vision . coop and i had something that i did n't realize . spinelli : as i never realized what i had with wise georgie . as oddly comforting as this may or may not sound , we do have each other . you know , i should -- i should really -- i should really take that info to stone cold but , you know , you 're welcome to -- to join me on the next leg of the case if you 'd like . maxie : thank you , but i think i have some stuff i need to figure out with my life , and to be honest , i 'm not sure getting trapped in a sewer and wading through seagull crap is going to take me where i want to go . but good luck . i know you 're going to find him . [ scene_break ] sonny : what have they got you on in here ? how would michael shoot kate ? jason : we know michael was sniffing around a gun . we know he tried to buy bullets . who says he did n't get his hands on a gun ? sonny : who says he did ? jason : i -- because i found gun oil in his backpack . there 's only one way that could 've gotten there . sonny : says your theory . jason : says as much circumstantial evidence as you have that trevor did this . sonny : okay , do n't bring trevor into this , unless you 're defending trevor , because -- jason : i 'm trying to avoid a war ; i 'm trying to do my job , which is not very easy in this condition . do you want to hear about this or you -- or not ? sonny : talk . jason : okay . whew . what if michael had a gun ? sonny : he would n't know how to use it . jason : okay , so what ? he 'd go -- he 'd find some abandoned property like alcazar 's waterfront and he -- he would start practicing . and he accidentally shot kate . sonny : and he would just leave her there ? jason : yeah , he 'd -- he 'd leave her there . he 's scared hell , this kid . sonny : he 'd call for help . jason : sonny , you do n't -- you do n't know that . we both had talks with him . sonny : that 's why i know he would n't go near a gun . jason : okay , and what did you tell him ? sonny : what did i tell him ? jason : yeah . sonny : does n't matter , because this is going nowhere . jason : no , no -- what did you say to him exactly ? what 'd you say ? sonny : i told him -- that if he -- if i caught him anywhere near a gun , that he should run and keep running . jason : maybe that 's what he did . sonny : i know my son . jason : do you know him well enough that he would even go near a gun to begin with ? i mean , he lost leticia , he lost emily , he knows how we feel about people who hurt our family or hurt people we care about . if he thought that he hurt kate or killed kate , somebody you cared that much about -- sonny : well , even -- even if this happened the way you 're saying it happened , michael would n't just disappear . jason : how do you know that , man ? he could be -- he could be in shock . he could be afraid of how you 're going to react . sonny : my son 's not afraid of me . i 'm not deke . if he did this , he would come to me . you know what ? just -- you concentrate on getting better . i 'm going to -- i 'm going to handle this . jason : you better think long and hard before you do something that you ca n't take back . sonny : uh - huh .

[ sighs ] dr. obrecht : i could offer you a sign of enthusiasm , but that would be foolish . britt : because it would mean that you have a heart ? dr. obrecht : because your liaison with the prince can only end one way . honestly , britta , what do you think will happen once nikolas discovers the truth -- that he 's going to be a stepfather to his sister 's child ? britt : dante knows he 's ben 's father . i mean , we 're even working out a custody arrangement . so , lulu -- i mean , she 'll -- she 'll see ben all the time . it 's a win - win . dr. obrecht : mm - hmm . do n't believe it 's all schnitzel and bier -- everyone gaining a son . the only one `` winning `` is you . britt : [ sighs ] fine . you 're right , okay ? i feel terrible about what i 'm doing to lulu ... and dante , for that matter , but if they find out the truth , i will lose nikolas . dr. obrecht : in a herzschlag . britt : which is why he can not know that his sister is ben 's biological mother , and he wo n't , unless you tell him . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i really want you to be there . it 'd mean a lot to me . elizabeth : nikolas , i want to support you -- i really do -- but -- nikolas : but -- but what ? elizabeth : what am i supposed to do ? what am i supposed to do ? show up to your engagement party by myself ? that would be so -- it would be -- nikolas : it would be so -- so -- so what ? elizabeth : sad and -- and just weird and humiliating . nikolas : okay , fine . then bring a date , if that 's what -- elizabeth : date ? [ laughs ] a date ? do you know how busy i 've been ? i do n't have a prayer of finding a date on short notice . ric : well , your prayers have been answered . [ scene_break ] sam : [ sighs ] it 's good to see you . alexis : same here . how 'd it go in new york ? was it successful ? sam : [ sighs ] not exactly . alexis : [ sighs ] so , the pharmacist who id 'd silas would n't admit that he was lying ? sam : he might have . he just did n't have a chance . alexis : why not ? sam : he 's dead . and the police think that silas killed him . [ scene_break ] silas : hi . kiki : hey . how long have you been back ? silas : long enough for rafe to catch me up on what 's going on here . how 's michael 's dad doing ? kiki : it 's really bad , silas . i 'm so worried for michael .

[ scene_break ] britt : mother . i am on the cusp of real happiness -- happiness that i did n't even know existed until nikolas . i know that it 's something that you never had , and i 'm so sorry my father never loved you . i am so sorry that you spent your whole life taking it out on me , but do n't you think -- dr. obrecht : do n't talk to me about cesar . you do n't know the first thing about him . [ sighs ] i 'm terrified of what has become of him . anna devane and her ex - husband made him disappear -- i - i do n't know where . he could be dead , alive . i do n't know . it 's possible i never will . britt : i 'm sorry ... dr. obrecht : [ sighs ] britt : ... for that . but whatever happened to father , i mean , you -- you still have me . i know i 'm not the child you wanted , but i 'm the child you got .

[ scene_break ] alexis : listen , i want to hear everything that happened in new york , but i do not understand why silas would be implicated in the pharmacist 's death . sam : well , technically , he had an opportunity . alexis : were n't you with him the whole time ? sam : sort of . we -- we were at the hotel , and we were getting ready to leave , and he said that he had to make a phone call to one of his patients . so , we were running late already , and i left without him . alexis : okay , so , big deal . so you left him alone for a minute . that 's hardly damning evidence . sam : well , mr. nakamura was staying at the hotel . alexis : oh . sam : and he od 'd on his own medication . alexis : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] which is the same m.o . that silas supposedly used to kill his wife . sam : exactly . alexis : exactly . so , you do n't think he did it ? sam : no , of course , i do n't think he did it . i think ava jerome did it . alexis : why ? sam : guess who shows up in new york while we were there . alexis : no . sam : surprise . alexis : [ gasps ] so that 's where she 's been . sam : mom , she even came to the bar where we were supposed to meet mr. nakamura . granted , her mother works there , but , according to delia , she has n't seen her in years . so , she shows up in -- in the bar , and mr. nakamura 's dead ? i mean , come on . alexis : so , if ava was in new york the whole time , she could n't have tried to kill aj . [ scene_break ] silas : i 'm glad you could put aside your difference to be here for michael . kiki : his father is on his deathbed . where else would i be ? silas : you 're right . he 's lucky to have you . i - i do n't know what i would have done without sam in new york . kiki : oh , right . did you get the answers about your wife ? silas : no . i just got more questions . kiki : what happened ? silas : you remember the pharmacist i told you about ? he apparently committed suicide . kiki : he what ? silas : yeah . of course , the cops think it 's foul play , but ... kiki : so they think that someone killed him ? silas : yeah . kiki : that 's horrible . silas : mm - hmm . kiki : is it because of you ? do they think that someone killed him , so that he would n't talk ? silas : that 's a good guess , huh ? kiki : oh , geez . who do you think did it ? silas : most likely the same person who 's setting me up for trying to kill nina . kiki : you talking about my mother ? [ scene_break ] ava : julian . julian : ava . ava : carlos was just telling me you were in jail . julian : not anymore . ava : i can see that . julian : yeah , the , uh , cops -- they , uh -- they let me go , because i did n't do anything . aj said so himself . ava : aj 's awake ? julian : mm , and talking . it , uh , good news , huh ? uh , anyone else ? drink ? ava : what else did he say ? julian : you mean , did aj say what really happened that night ? [ scene_break ] michael : [ sniffles ] that 's okay . that 's okay . if you want to rest , that 's -- that 's exactly what you should do . hey , you 're gon na need that energy to pull through surgery .

[ sighs , sniffles ] sonny : hey , man . michael : [ sighs ] sonny : how 's aj doing ? your mom said he was awake . michael : yeah , he was , but not anymore . maybe , uh , not ever again . he had an aneurysm in -- in his brain , and it does n't look good . sonny : i 'm sorry , buddy . michael : and i never -- never had the chance to tell him that i love him -- at least not when he could hear me . [ sighs ] everything happened so fast . and when he could hear me , all i was doing was asking him questions about who did this , and i was trying to get answers out of him . sonny : it 's gon na be okay , all right ? michael : [ sighs ] i do n't -- i do n't think so . sonny : he -- he 's not gon na blame you for anything . he 's -- he knows how much you love him . michael : yeah , i hope . sonny : so , uh , your mom says he -- he cleared jerome . is that true ? michael : uh , yeah , that 's all he could get out . i mean , i - i - i do n't get it , though . if -- if jerome did n't shoot him , then who did ? [ scene_break ] ava : no , i 'm not worried about what aj might or might not have said . why would i be ? i barely know the man , and i certainly have no reason to want him dead . julian : [ chuckles ] that 's a lot of protesting , is n't it , or is it just me ? ava : and , besides , you know , i 'm a good shot , but from manhattan ? carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : i 've been in the city the last few days . julian : hmm . that 's convenient . ava : i just got home . julian : hmm . well , somebody shot aj in this penthouse , and it certainly was n't me , so who do you think it was , ava , in our home , brazenly waving my gun around ? ava : i 'll let the police figure it out . julian : mm . ava : right now , i 'm gon na go and check on kiki . i 'm sure michael is distraught . julian : yes , off to the hospital you go , you know , to lend a helping hand or , uh , you know , keep tabs on aj . hmm ? make sure he does n't spill his guts about you . ava : carlos , would you give me a lift ? julian : whoa , whoa , whoa . you , uh -- you ca n't be serious . ava : the engine light is on in my car . julian : oh . carlos stays here . ava : does he roll over when you dangle a biscuit ? julian : [ chuckling ] look , ava , something is wrong with your car . take a cab .

[ scene_break ] silas : you know , maybe this is n't the best time to be talking about this . kiki : no , it 's fine . you think my mom killed the pharmacist guy ? silas : i think it 's possible . kiki : okay , my mom may be a lot of things -- i will give you that -- but a murderer is not one of them . that would be taking it to a whole other level . silas : kiki , your mom is involved with some very dangerous people . by association , that makes her dangerous . kiki : true , but killing someone ? okay , fine . even if she is capable , i just do n't think she would do something like that to you . silas : and why is that ? kiki : because she loved you ... a lot . why would she try to land you in prison ? i do n't know . i just -- is there anyone else that could possibly be setting you up ? silas : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ric : look , you do n't want to go by yourself , and i clearly want to spend a little bit more time with you , so why do n't we just kill two birds with one stone here ? elizabeth : okay . nikolas : [ scoffs ] ric : yeah ? elizabeth : sure . ric : great . okay . nikolas : he -- ric : well , i guess we 'll see you at the party . nikolas : yeah . are -- are you sure about this ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] nikolas : hey , i mean , we all know that he 's bad -- he 's bad news . ric : uh , excuse me . i 'm still in the room . elizabeth : how many times did i tell you that about britt ? you asked me to accept your choice . now you kind of got to do the same . nikolas : okay . you 're right . elizabeth : thank you . nikolas : i am happy that you will be there . ric : and we are happy to come . nikolas : for the record , i do n't know who 's worse -- aj or ric . ric : [ sighs ] you okay ? elizabeth : yeah , i 'm fine . ric : good . so , now that he 's gone , what 's the real story ? did you say yes to the date , because you wanted to or solely to stick it to nikolas ?

[ scene_break ] michael : what do you think , aj ? you like sabrina ? would you want her to help take care of you ? sabrina : it 's a generous offer . it just feels a little -- michael : sudden ? yeah , i know . the whole custody situation happened a lot faster than i expected . but i need somebody here full time . the agency 's supposed to send over candidates next week , but , i mean , why bother ? i mean , you 're perfect . sabrina : no , i 'm not , but she sure is . michael : so think about it , sabrina . you need a job . i need somebody here . and look , wh - wh - wh - when you 're -- when you 're done , i will give you a excellent reference . sabrina : well , as long as you write me a reference . michael : what do you -- what do you say ? i ca n't think of anyone better suited to help take care of my sister . kiki : is that a fact ? [ scene_break ] sonny : ric 's working on an appeal . he pointed out that michael 's ahead of me in the public - image department , so i need to present myself , uh , you know , in a way that i can be an upstanding citizen . duke : sounds like good advice . i mean , it seems to me that ric is doing good work on your behalf . sonny : ric could n't stop michael . duke : yeah , but from what i understand , it was n't a fair fight . sonny : well , michael did what you call a -- a end run . he replaced judge heller with monica 's new boyfriend . duke : well , there 's grounds for your appeal , right there . sonny : well , i 'm not too sure , 'cause , you know , michael 's dealing with the quartermaine money and the influences , so i do n't want to do anything that he could use against me . so , can you continue to run the organization ? duke : consider it done . in fact , i 've already made some moves this morning to neutralize jerome . pretty soon , there 'll be no more threats to your supremacy . [ scene_break ] jordan : we 've had this conversation before . i thought the subject was closed . shawn : well , not for me . jordan : really ? so you think that i 'm a mole , that i would risk my relationship with thomas ? shawn : maybe , if it meant getting you a bigger prize at the end of the game . jordan : were you suspicious of me when you brought me to bed ? shawn : come on . jordan : hmm ? or did you think that i was -- i was gon na talk in my sleep ? shawn : stop deflecting , jordan , and explain why is it that every time the heat is on , you just -- you turn out just fine . jordan : guess i 'm just lucky like that . shawn : or lucky enough to have friends in high places -- say , city hall ? jordan : oh , yeah , that would be nice . shawn : come on and stop with the crap , jordan . you never really worked for the jeromes , and you are n't working for sonny now . you 're working for the cops , are n't you ?

[ scene_break ] ava : you want to test my infant daughter to see if she 's a possible bone- marrow donor . silas : well , avery , like kiki , shares your dna . she 's the best chance for a match . ava : but kiki is a grown woman . she makes her own decisions . avery is a baby . she has no voice in the matter . silas : understood . but , you know , children have been conceived and born in the hope of saving a loved one 's life . i mean , right now , avery 's the best chance you have . i can be back in port charles and get done what i need to have done by tonight . ava : no . silas , no ! over my dead body . [ scene_break ] michael : who let you in ? kiki : i told alice i have something to give avery . michael : well , she has everything she needs , so if you do n't mind , i 'm trying to hire a nanny for my sister . kiki : do n't you let that psycho anywhere near my sister . michael : whoa , nice language . kiki : she tried to kill avery . sabrina : what ? no ! that 's not -- not what i wanted . kiki : you drugged my mother . you wanted her to go into premature labor , and you wanted avery to die . [ scene_break ] duke : i 'll keep julian in check . that 'll let you focus exclusively on your custody battle . sonny : protecting my interests -- i 'm -- i 'm grateful for that , duke . duke : julian jerome has a history of underestimating me . events this morning prove that history is repeating itself . sonny : i wish i could have been there to see julian get his ass kicked . duke : if anna had n't shown up , the victory would have been more decisive . sonny : what was anna doing there ? duke : i do n't know . she may no longer be police commissioner -- she works for the justice department -- but she 's decided that her business is to put a stop to ours . sonny : okay , that 's attention that 's not wanted . you know that , right ? duke : yeah . agreed . but somehow anna found out what shawn and i were up to today . sonny : somehow ? duke : we believe anna was tipped off . [ scene_break ] jordan : let me see if i can put this to you in the most basic terms that i know . i 'm not a cop . shawn : prove it . jordan : prove it ? you know what ? fine . fine . you know what ? uh , check my phone . go ahead . it 's unlocked , so just be my guest . you know , check the phone log , check the e - mail . just go ahead . take it . you know why you 're not gon na take it ? because there 's nothing there . shawn : no , it just proves you 're good at covering your tracks . jordan : and , you know -- and while you 're at it , while you 're so focused on me , the real leak -- if there 's even one out there -- is going undetected , okay ? shawn : unless i 'm talking to the leak right now . jordan : what can i do to put your mind at ease , hmm ? do you want me to target a cop ? would that be enough proof of my loyalty to you ? you already have the proof . shawn : what kind ? jordan : check the books . the corinthos organization has gotten richer since i joined . so go ahead . run along . tell sonny and duke what you think about me -- your suspicions . let 's see which one of us they choose to believe . shawn : i just might do that . [ scene_break ] julian : i want full accounting on the corinthos holdings on all fronts -- legal and otherwise . carlos : well , sonny 's taken himself out of the game , at least temporarily . so that leaves duke lavery as your biggest competition . julian : well , why do n't you tell me something i do n't know ? carlos : why do n't we kill him ? [ scene_break ] silas : ava -- avery is the best -- perhaps your only chance at beating cancer . ava : forget it . you 're not cutting open my baby daughter to save me . silas : you 're all mixed up , all right ? we 're not talking about harvesting organs . we 're talking about a simple blood test to determine if she 's a match . ava : okay , so say that she is a match . this procedure to get the bone marrow -- are you telling me , you 're gon na promise me that that causes avery no suffering whatsoever ? silas : there 's always a small risk . ava : any risk is unacceptable to me . silas : okay . ava : you will not be using avery 's bone marrow or her anything else to save me , and that is the end of the story , then . that 's it . silas : all right ! that 's the end of the story , all right ? you happy ? will you at least let me start you on a course of chemo ? ava : damn it , i do n't even -- i do n't want to discuss any treatment options , really , right now . i 'm worried about my daughter . in her short life , she 's already been kidnapped and dragged off to canada by two lunatics . now she 's got sonny and michael fighting over her like she 's some kind of trophy . i want better for her . silas : we all do . ava : then help me , silas . avery has already lost her mother . all i can do now is try to make sure that she does n't lose the rest of her family , too . [ scene_break ] michael : and you 're very selective with your forgiveness and understanding , are n't you ? kiki : what are you talking about ? michael : you can forgive your mother for framing aj for a murder she committed , just like you can forgive and understand sonny for murdering aj . kiki : stop . stop saying that word . michael : it 's an ugly word , is n't it ? but it 's a fact of sonny 's life , just like it 's a fact of ava 's . she took credit for the accident that caused sabrina 's baby 's death . kiki : yeah , and that bitch retaliated by trying to kill avery . sabrina : look , i wanted ava to go into premature labor , but i did n't set out to kill her baby . that does n't excuse what i did , and i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . kiki : do you think i care how sorry you are ? michael : okay , you know what ? aj was n't hurt as a result of sabrina 's actions . ava had a few cramps . that was it . so to call sabrina a killer when you look the other way at real killers like sonny and ava and franco , that makes you a hypocrite . kiki : and what if you 're wrong ? what if she still wants to hurt avery ? sabrina : i do n't . i swear . michael : i am aj 's guardian . i 'll make sure that she has a loving and nurturing caretaker . kiki : you want to talk about hypocrites ? the only reason you got to be avery 's guardian is because you had the judge replaced by some guy who your grandmother was sleeping with . michael : no , i got custody because i proved that i can act in my sister 's best interest . kiki : avery 's my little sister , too , and i 'm not gon na let you or her forget that . michael : all right , well , i hope what kiki said does not affect your -- your decision . sabrina : stop . i 'm sorry , but i do n't think i can take this job . [ scene_break ] jake : if now 's not a good time , i understand . sam : well , it 's just that i 've learned a long time ago not to come between spinelli and his jell - o , so ... jake : i 'm gon na get sam to convince her father to give me a job . i ca n't be living rent - free in the metro court . carly : no one 's gon na believe that i kicked you out . jake : what about your partner ? carly : i could say that olivia asked you to leave , yeah . but i hope you know if you were n't going undercover in julian 's organization and you needed a place to stay , there 's no way that i would let her kick you out . jake : okay . could you please just try to make this convincing ? carly : oh , no problem . i 'm the best liar you 've ever seen . jake : yeah , somehow i do n't doubt that . carly : spinelli , i 'll make sure you have all the gelatin your heart desires from the metro court if you promise to show me all the pictures you have of georgie on your phone . spinelli : i most gratefully accept . um , it 's -- it 's -- it 's incredible how quickly they grow . carly : it is . sam : well , it seems like i 'm free . come on . what did you want to talk about ? elizabeth : wonder what that 's all about . patrick : yeah , me too . sam : well , i hope things have settled down and you 've started to put your life back together . jake : thanks . i will as soon as i find a place to live . sam : do n't tell me you 're staying at the metro court . jake : well , carly offered , but her partner vetoed it . she said that i would make the guests feel unsafe , and well , at the time being , i 'm homeless and jobless . sam : stop . well , if there 's anything i can do to help , let me know . jake : actually , there might be . sam : okay . jake : would you be willing to put in a good word for me with your father ? sam : my father ? jake : yeah . i want to work for julian jerome . [ scene_break ] julian : well , i was thinking more along the lines of hijacking a shipment or , uh , i do n't know , burning down warehouses . carlos : minor losses . you take out lavery , you cripple sonny . julian : it is a big risk , carlos . a lot -- a lot could go wrong . carlos : this war , this vendetta , it 's no longer about taking over territories . this is about keeping you around to control the territory that is rightfully yours . it 's about keeping you alive . lavery 's got to go . [ scene_break ] sonny : you and shawn believe that anna 's working with somebody on the inside ? duke : well , anna showing up this morning was just too convenient . i mean , not unless we were followed by law enforcement . sonny : that 's not gon na happen , 'cause you guys are too good for that . duke : well , okay . back to the question ... sonny : mm - hmm . duke : ... do we have a traitor on the inside ? sonny : answer 's yes . question is who ? [ knock on door ] shawn : got a minute ? we need to talk . [ scene_break ] anna : hi . jordan : hey . anna : your tip this morning prevented something that could have ended in a lot of bloodshed . jordan : well , yeah . uh , the trouble is , i might have triggered my own . anna : what are you talking about ? jordan : i may be busted . [ scene_break ] sonny : duke was just giving me an update on what happened on the pier . how 's our guy ? shawn : yeah , we were able to patch him up . he 's at a safe house . he should recover . duke : well , that 's good news . sonny : we were also discussing how anna could be involved . shawn : i think i may know . sonny : are you telling me jordan is anna 's snitch ? shawn : i do n't have hard evidence . it 's just a gut feeling . duke : based on what ? shawn : a lot of little things that do n't add up . look , for example -- jordan 's late today , but arrives just as anna devane clears us all out . and th -- that 's just too damn easy . sonny : what else ? shawn : every time we 're picked up for questioning , jordan always seems to come out on the other side smelling like a rose . sonny : have you confronted her ? shawn : look , if it 'd been anyone else , all right , i would have played it differently . but she 's tj 's mom , and i needed to give her a chance to clear her name . duke : i assume she has denied everything . shawn : yeah . she made a good case for why she 's not to blame for the leaks . sonny : a good case ? you believe her ? [ scene_break ] jordan : shawn has been suspicious before in the past , and i 've always been able to talk him down , but i do n't think i was able to do that this time . anna : you think he 's gon na take his concerns to duke or sonny ? jordan : if he does , i 'm in a world of trouble . it 's a risk that i ca n't take anymore , anna . you got to pull me out . you got to put our operation to rest . [ scene_break ] carly : so , have you thought about giving georgie a little brother or sister ? spinelli : curious . carly : oh , about having another baby ? spinelli : oh -- uh , um , no . your friend jake -- there 's something about him just seems so familiar . carly : i know . it 's weird , is n't it ? the first time i met him , i instantly felt comfortable . spinelli : wait . where -- where did you meet him ? carly : here . i - i was in the art therapy room the day before the biggest mistake of my life . spinelli : oh . franco ? carly : yes , franco . what i can tell you is that , you know , it 's been a rough couple of months and a lot of loss , and having jake to talk to and bounce things off of , it 's been -- it 's been really helpful . spinelli : never has he reminded you of ... you know , jason ? carly : well , yeah , there 's some similarities . jake has a way of cutting through what does n't matter and getting to the truth . spinelli : like jason . carly : jake 's not jason . spinelli , jason 's gone . he 's not coming back . [ scene_break ] sam : you want to work for julian jerome ? jake : well , having no memory gives you limited options . i do n't even have a social - security card , so finding work has been tough at best . and carly had the idea that , uh , there are some employers out there who might be willing to overlook my sketchy résumé . sam : some ? i - i can think of two . jake : well , carly also said that sonny does n't have a very high opinion of me , so that leaves your dad . what do you think ? think i 'd be a good fit for jerome 's business ? [ scene_break ] carlos : lavery hates you . you have to eliminate him before he comes gunning for you . [ doorbell rings ] julian : it 's kiki . make yourself scarce . i do n't think she 's in any mood to forgive you , since you shot her mother . carlos : i 'm gone . julian : hey , kiki . what can i do for you ? kiki : we need to talk about avery . we have to get her back from michael . [ scene_break ] michael : i do n't believe for one second that you hurt aj . just the opposite -- you understand how vulnerable and how fragile she is , and you 'll do everything in your power to protect her . sabrina : it does n't matter . i lost my mind . i lost my moral compass . i gave ava those drugs to send her into premature labor . michael : but it did n't happen . ava was fine , and so was avery . sabrina : it was still wrong . michael : look , i understand . i - i do . p - please , sit down . look , i 've been wrong . i 've done things i regret . but you know what ? i ca n't go back and change what i did . but you can pay it forward , you know ? [ baby crying ] michael : you can do something good to balance out the scales , okay ? and i happen to think you 'd be very good for my little sister . sabrina : you heard kiki . she thinks i 'm a psycho . michael : well , it does n't matter what kiki thinks . unless you do n't want the job because how she said i got custody . sabrina : is it true ? did you arrange for your grandmother 's boyfriend to hear the case ? michael : absolutely . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na stand by and watch michael and sonny use my daughter as some kind of prize in their petty feud . you know there 's even a rumor that michael is calling her aj ? i wo n't stand for it . silas : i understand your frustration . i do . but unless we can come up with a cure , i do n't think there 's anything you can do for avery right now . ava : well , there may not be something that i can do , but there 's something you can do . silas : okay . what ? ava : raise avery yourself . silas : i 'm not sure what to say . ava : then do n't say anything right now . just hear me out . i 'll be gone soon , and avery will need somebody to love her , to be a father to her in a way that sonny and michael ca n't be . in a way that i did n't let you be to kiki . silas : listen to me . i want nothing more for avery than for her to be cared for and protected by the people who will love her and put her above all else . ava : that 's you . silas : listen , this is crazy . this is ... crazy . ava , i do n't even have legal grounds to fight for custody . ava : well , kiki does . kiki 's her sister . you 're kiki 's father . so she can make the claim . silas : kiki opted not to fight for custody . ava : yeah , because of some crazy idea that she belonged with sonny , and we know how that turned out , do n't we ? silas : kiki 's young . you 'd be asking her to take on a huge responsibility . ava : you 'll be there to help her . silas : if we do take on this custody fight , it 's gon na be an uphill battle . i mean , i have doctor money , but this michael quartermaine , the quartermaines , they have money -- real money and power and influence . ava : so does my brother . if you and kiki , if you team up with julian , you will be more than a match for michael . [ scene_break ] kiki : avery is your blood . she needs to be back where she belongs -- with her real family . that 's us , the jeromes . julian : okay , listen . i 'm behind you 100 % , but if the decision is overturned , you know , custody 's just gon na revert back to sonny , who 's her father . kiki : we have to do something . avery is not safe with michael . julian : o - okay , well , you j -- i 'm sorry , but you just lost me there . okay , look . michael may have pulled a fast one with the judge , but , you know , he 's never given me any indication that he would be dangerous to avery . kiki : what about the fact that michael wants to make the woman who tried to kill my sister her nanny ? [ scene_break ] michael : you already know i want sonny punished for killing my father . sabrina : is that why you took his daughter ? michael : well , that 's what he thinks , but he 's wrong . yes , i want sonny to pay . i want him to suffer . but more importantly , i want aj to grow up free . sabrina : free ? michael : free of the threats , the danger of the next kidnapping , the next car bombing . just free of the secrecy and all those conversations you 're not supposed to hear . free of realizing little by little that your father has people killed for business . i - i - i tried to keep my brother morgan out of that world . for a long time , i did n't even know i was supposed to try . so i talked to my grandmother , and she spoke to her boyfriend , the judge , and now i have custody , and aj 's safe . [ scene_break ] shawn : i want to believe that jordan 's telling the truth . i care about her . sonny : we have gone over this how many times , shawn ? you have questioned her loyalty in the past . duke : you vouched for her when she joined the organization . shawn : look , at the end of the day , if jordan 's a rat , it 's on me . i 'll pay the consequences . look , i just ca n't be sure that jordan 's the reason that anna showed up when she did . i have a suspicion , that 's all . and i felt it was my duty to let you know . [ scene_break ] anna : you realize no one has ever -- ever -- been this far inside the corinthos organization ? jordan : anna , they are suspicious . they could come after me . do you get that ? anna : yes , but if you quit now , you 're -- you 're burning our most valuable asset . jordan : there wo n't be an asset if i 'm dead ! if you 're not gon na pull me , then i 'm gon na go straight to sonny and duke and tell them that i want out . anna : no , you can not do that under any circumstances . jordan : it 's the only chance that i have to save my own life . anna : no , it is n't . listen -- shawn does n't have any proof . not yet . but if you go and you try to cut ties with them , then that is proof of your guilt , and sonny will have you eliminated . jordan : which could happen regardless . anna : i know that you feel your life is on the line -- do you ? jordan : do you ? anna : yes , i do . that is why we have to play this very , very carefully . [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't say what julian 's hiring practices are , but the kind of work experience that he 's looking for normally ends up on a rap sheet . jake : i 'm aware of his reputation . sam : are you aware you almost went to prison for life because of what helena made you do ? and now , all of a sudden , you want to voluntarily break the law ? jake : i do n't want to do anything illegal . i just need to work . i can drive a car , but i do n't even have a license . i 'll sweep floors , i 'll count boxes , i 'll do whatever . i just need something to pay my bills until i figure out the next step . sam : okay . you are -- you are just hustling , trying to stay afloat . jake : yeah , pretty much . sam : i have been there many times , and i know it 's not easy . jake : that explains why i 'm swallowing my pride to hit you up for a job recommendation . sam : okay . i will talk to my father . i 'll see what i can do . jake : all right . that means a lot to me . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh , she 's beautiful . spinelli : she is . elizabeth : you all done ? jake : yeah . ready to go . spinelli : well , now it 's time for my highly anticipated dessert . if you 'll excuse me . jake : he 's special , is n't he ? carly : spinelli 's one of a kind . everything okay with sam ? jake : yeah . everything 's great . she 's gon na help me find a job . sam : um , would you save me a seat ? spinelli : as you wish . um , dr. drake ? would you fancy a tasty treat ? patrick : i 'm okay . thanks , man . sam : hey . patrick : hey . sam : long day ? patrick : average . sam : well , i was maybe thinking you would like to grab some dinner at kelly 's ? patrick : why ? do n't you have plans ? sam : oh , with jake ? no . that -- that was about something else . he just needed a favor . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : a job ? jake : yeah . that would be the first step towards paying the rent , paying my bills . elizabeth : right , but do you really want to work for julian jerome ? jake : i -- i mean , there 's not a lot of demand for bad bartenders . carly : and he 's really bad .

guilty . ewen : i know why you 'd feel guilty . anthony : corinthos caused that accident . i was driving to the airport -- tracy : why did he come after you ? because you tried to kill his son and accidentally shot sonny instead . anthony : i told you i was n't the shooter in the garage . i thought you believed me . tracy : no , i believed you when you said you were leaving town . anthony : i tried . tracy : you did n't try hard enough , and this insanity between you and sonny caused two innocent bystanders to die . one of them was a toddler . anthony : how could you possibly blame me ? i did n't fire the gun either time . tracy : i want it to stop . when are you leaving ? anthony : when i can do it under the radar , without drawing sonny 's attention . tracy : okay , well , i think we need to speed up the process a little bit . anthony : what are you doing ? tracy : i am going to call sonny -- and point to the rock you 're hiding under . blair : come on , starr . do n't do this to yourself . he 's not worth it . neither is your father . come on . michael : you okay ? sonny : yeah . fine . michael : look , starr is grieving . she needs someone to blame . sonny : her father went after the wrong man . carly : hey , i just spoke to starr 's mother . the father , todd manning -- he 's pretty dangerous . sonny : yeah , i got that , carly . carly : and all he seems to care about are his kids . sonny : okay . i can empathize with that part , but -- carly : put yourself in his shoes . what would you do to the man who killed your grandchild ? sonny : i understand i have an enemy . would n't be the first time . john : hey . todd : please , john , just let me talk to her . john : you know , i think you 've done enough . keep an eye on him . blair : john , thank god you got here when you did . john : i wish i could have done more . i 'm sorry . cole -- he loved you very much . starr : thank you for everything that you did for him . for us . john : i was able to get in contact with his parents . starr : you told them what happened ? john : i told them it was an accident . starr : except that it was n't . sonny corinthos was trying to kill someone , and we just got in the way . blair : starr , please . you got to stop talking like this , okay ? stop . starr : well , it 's how i feel . john : and , todd , he -- he decided to avenge hope and cole . blair : you know what ? he could have gotten himself killed . does he know that that is a known mobster ? did you know that ? john : yeah , i know who sonny corinthos is . mommy 's got a surprise for you . kate : you know what ? get out of my office right now before i call security or sonny . johnny : i thought you were n't gon na call sonny until he could find us in a little more of a -- you know , compromising position . kate : what are you talking about ? i barely know you . johnny : did n't stop you the other night when you came to my apartment and kissed me . kate : i -- i would n't go near your apartment , johnny . so if this is some sick , twisted game that you 're playing with me , you got the wrong woman . johnny : maybe you 're right . maybe i do have the wrong woman . kate : yeah , you do . johnny : maybe the woman i should be talking to is connie , huh ? connie ? you know , flashy , fiery , little bit of bensonhurst trash -- not that there 's anything wrong with that , connie . kate : johnny , no ! stop it ! get out of here ! you 're hurting me , jo -- aah ! [ gasps ] johnny : because -- connie wants to be alive instead of dead for sonny corinthos . does n't she ? connie : damn straight . [ chuckles ] ugh ! phew ! johnny : kate ? connie : kate ? you see kate anywhere ? connie 's in the house . stupid hairdo . steve : i ca n't let you get involved . olivia : you already just admitted to me that you pulled the plug on a patient in memphis . steve : i do n't want you to be involved in something illegal . olivia : tell me what johnny wants . steve : the same thing johnny always wants . a way to crush sonny . anthony : know what happens if you call sonny ? tracy : [ chuckles ] yeah , i get to play the merry widow . anthony : you get charged as an accomplice to my murder . tracy : who says it 's gon na get reported ? sonny has a lot of experience in disappearing people . anthony : [ chuckles ] fine . you know what ? go right ahead . make the call . all my affairs are in order . i 'm sure the s.e.c . will be grateful for all the info i left them about you and your shady financial dealings . you end up in a cell either way . tracy : [ sighs ] anthony : that 's what i thought . tracy : i was just trying to protect myself from getting caught in the crossfire . anthony : and i 'm just trying to stay alive . tracy : who says you have the right to ? i have no use for sonny corinthos , but at the very least , he was protecting his family . what 's your excuse ? anthony : i 'm innocent this time ! hey ! if i 'm gon na get whacked after all these years , i would prefer it to be for something i actually did ! carly : you seem smarter than this . not a good idea to go up against sonny . todd : he destroyed my daughter 's entire life . carly : if he did , he will be tried and convicted . todd : i 'm the only one that 'll get starr justice . carly : well , you do n't appear to be in the position for that . todd : [ chuckles ] carly -- you 're lovely , and i do appreciate you sneaking me into the hospital and all that , and you run a first - rate hotel , and if i 'm ever not a fugitive , it 's the first place i 'd stay . but your ex killed my granddaughter and my granddaughter 's father , and for that , he deserves to die . carly : you and sonny are very much alike , and by which i mean he 's dangerous and he 's really hard to kill . todd : have you been talking to blair ? you 've been talking to blair . then you know -- 'cause i 'm sure blair told you -- that i will make sonny pay for what he 's done . michael : thank you . starr : for what ? michael : well , for stopping your father . you 're the only reason he did n't pull the trigger . starr : i was n't trying to save your father . i was trying to save mine . michael : look , i 'm just glad they 're both alive . starr : do you ever feel guilty -- for loving someone so horrible ? do you ever feel like the things that they do are your fault ? michael : it 's not really that way with my father . but from what i could see -- you 're the one good thing about your dad . blair : all right , sweetheart , john is making arrangements to get your dad back to llanview , and we need to get you -- come on -- to a hospital . starr : what ? i 'm not going back to the hospital . blair : you 've gone through a horrible ordeal . you should n't even be out of bed . michael : starr had a right to tell the court what she saw that night . starr : i had to tell them what anthony zacchara said -- that sonny corinthos shot out his tires . blair : okay . and you 're gon na get a chance to tell that full testimony at the trial , okay ? sonny : i 'm gon na go out back . bring the car around . i 'm not gon na get into it . just bring the car around . john : now , you did n't think i was just gon na let you walk out of here , did you ? sonny : been a long time , mcbain . john : yeah , it has . ewen : you 're having a perfectly normal reaction to what happened . the best thing you can do right now is to keep talking about what you 're feeling . maxie : i ca n't . it hurts so much . ewen : denying or suppressing the grief will only make it worse . letting those feelings out , accepting , and processing them will eventually help you get through this . maxie : i think i 'm beyond help . ewen : no one 's completely beyond help . maxie : no ? then why do n't you tell that to robin ? elizabeth : none of our lives will be the same without robin . matt : yeah . yep . well , at least you 're getting your job back , right ? elizabeth : what do you mean ? matt : well , maxie recanted her story about you stealing the drugs . elizabeth : why ? matt , i did steal those drugs . matt : [ stammers ] i saw monica in the hall at the hospital , and she said she was gon na call you and welcome you back . elizabeth : you know , she did leave me a message . i just thought she wanted to tie up loose ends . matt : well , i 'm going back to the hospital , so i can give you a ride . i have a consultation to do . elizabeth : okay , yeah . thanks . i think i 've done everything i can with the slide show . do you want to watch it with me ? matt : and start bawling my eyes out before i have to go back to work ? elizabeth : at least we 'll be crying together . steve : johnny wants me to run some kind of operation out of the hospital , something sonny wo n't have a piece of , and if i -- if i help him , i 'll keep my career , and if i do n't -- olivia : he 'll turn you in . steve : i 'm not sure how much longer i can keep stalling him . olivia : you do n't have to . it 's time johnny and i had a little chat . steve : no , no , no . stay out of this . i 've talked too much already . olivia : i 'm not gon na stand around and let johnny blackmail you ! steve : it 's my problem , oli -- olivia : i reserve the right to stand up for the man that i love . steve : what 'd you just say ? olivia : i said i will -- i will talk to johnny . steve : [ sighs ] you do n't have to put yourself in the middle of this . you 've done enough -- by saying you love me . olivia : actions speak louder than words . connie : glad you finally came to your senses . i knew you 'd see my proposition as a win - win . johnny : yeah , pass . connie : oh , so you 're a tease , are you ? huh ? johnny : no , i like to think of myself as more of a gentleman . that 's why i came here to tell you thanks -- but , no , thanks . connie : get out of here ! you could have called me , but you came over to tell me in person , which tells me -- someone 's in . johnny : oh , no , no . i - i just wanted to -- see you for one more time , make sure you 're real , connie . connie : johnny , you thinking about me ? johnny : you 're kind of hard to forget . connie : i think about you , too . i think about this proposition and we 're gon na have so much fun , and that sonny 's gon na walk in and see us together . johnny : oh , so now you 're a mind - reader ? connie : oh , johnny , you 're not too hard to figure out . that 's why i like you . it 's gon na be fun and enjoyable ! now all we got to do is get sonny to walk in , and it 's a party . johnny : what , you do n't care about kate ? that she 's gon na get her heart broken ? connie : screw kate ! she took sonny back after he almost got us both killed ! you know what ? we 're doing this right now . i 'm texting him . johnny : oh , you really do n't take no for an answer , do you ? connie : no , i do n't take no ! sonny 's coming over . come on , johnny -- you 're not gon na take the opportunity to get revenge ? i did n't think so . so this is what we 're gon na do . i 'm gon na put on a little show . johnny : [ chuckles ] connie : i 'm gon na do a little dancin ' , little rubbin ' . johnny : you do n't want to do that . connie : and , johnny , sonny 's gon na walk in -- so , you in or you out ? sonny : what inspired the move to llanview ? bureau work get too difficult for you ? [ chuckles ] [ cell phone chimes ] john : you want to get that ? sonny : why ? your friends probably got it bugged . john : probably , but you know i ca n't comment on an ongoing investigation . carly : so , that detective guy who showed up -- what 's his story ? todd : he has remarkably attractive hair . carly : anything else ? todd : no sense of humor . and he does n't go for the whole do - it - yourself- justice thing , either . sonny : so , what happened , mcbain ? why 'd you decide to leave the fbi to go to some small town in pennsylvania ? too much red tape ? or did you strike out so many times trying to take me down that they invited you to leave ? [ laughs ] john : what do you know ? still arrogant . sonny : no , i 'm just a survivor . john : yeah ? sonny : yeah . john : nearly got your head blown off today . sonny : i 'm sure you 're disappointed that his daughter stopped him , right ? john : well , you know , at the end of the day , i ca n't stand around and watch someone commit murder -- even if the person deserves it . sonny : self - righteous . i always knew that about you . john : you know , this kid , cole , starr 's boyfriend -- sonny : right . john : i was pretty close to the kid for a while . he was like a son to me . if i find out you were behind this accident , i 'm gon na come back here , and i 'm gon na take you down myself . sonny : just like old times . john : no . no , i 'm patient now . i can wait as long as it takes . ewen : it 's not a sign of weakness to get a little help -- you know , admit there are things that we ca n't handle on our own . maxie : i have to get back to work . ewen : everyone needs a safe place , maxie . maxie : robin was my safe place . okay ? she always accepted me , and -- i mean , not that she cut me any slack . she definitely called me out when i was wrong , but ... she was always pushing me to be better than i was -- better than i am . [ elevator doors open ] matt : maxie , what are you doing here ? maxie : um -- elizabeth : matt said you spoke to monica and cleared my name . thank you . maxie , i 'm really sorry about robin . she was one of my closest friends , but i know she was like a sister to you . maxie : yeah . i loved her so much . elizabeth : you know , she tried to explain you to me on more than one occasion . she said you give really good advice . maxie : she did ? elizabeth : and whenever she was pulling her hair out about patrick , she used to tell me that she just needed to talk to you , that you always put things in perspective and that you 're way more insightful than you realize . robin said she could count on you for anything . matt : maxie . tracy : you need to leave the country for a long , long time . anthony : i have to find a way to neutralize sonny . i think my grandson 's gon na be helping me with that . tracy : yeah , and do n't expect me to drive the getaway car . anthony : thank you for believing me . tracy : who said i did ? anthony : you did n't have to . instincts , remember ? tracy : [ scoffs ] connie : all right , look , johnny , if you 're concerned that i 'm gon na get all clingy in the afterglow , you can relax , all right ? you 're just as dangerous as sonny . johnny : should i take that as a compliment ? connie : take it any way you like . i 'm not prying kate out of sonny 's bed to get shot in yours . you know what i mean ? johnny : well , you really know how to charm a guy . connie : oh - ho ! oh , johnny -- i 'm just getting started . come here . you know , uh -- sonny is gon na -- is gon na be walking in here -- any second . kate : oh ! aah ! oh ! aah ! get off of me !

[ scene_break ] sonny : before we take action , we -- we need to make sure that jordan is a mole . duke : i agree . unfortunately , telling her wo n't work . she 's too smart for that . as soon as she spots the tail , she 'd call for an extraction . sonny : once she reports in , we 're dead . [ sighs ] duke : i suggest we give her a test . sonny : something she would n't be able to do if she were a cop . duke : precisely .

[ scene_break ] carly : i swore off men , but i did n't stick to my guns , and you sucked me back into this whole love thing , and now everything 's a mess -- everything is a mess , jax ! jax : i fail to see how that 's my fault , because all i did was leave town to save my brother 's life -- with your blessing , i might add -- and i come back and this `` mess `` is already in place , thanks to you and sonny . carly : i told you why i married sonny and i told you why i slept with sonny . jax : and i told you that i wo n't be the thing that amuses you in between your reconciliations with your one true love . carly : i 'm not going back to sonny ! jax : well , good . then you wo n't be dating him for marble . carly : you do n't get a say . we 're over , remember ? that was your choice . so if my design concept is something great for this hotel , i 'm going to do whatever it takes to get what i want .

[ scene_break ] shawn : so , if you 're not worried about ric or julian , this must be about your son . sonny : you saw michael at the hospital last night . shawn : how 's mike holding up ? sonny : not good . turns out aj 's got an aneurysm . it 's like a ticking bomb in his brain . michael 's all ... torn up about it . shawn : well , that 's understandable , you know ? like it or not , sonny , aj is his biological father . sonny : it 's more than that . [ sighs ] michael feels guilty that he never told aj that he loved him , so , what does he do ? he tells me instead . shawn : that 's rough , man . sonny : i do n't know what i 'm gon na do , shawn . i mean , if aj dies , i 'm in the free , but michael 's gon na grieve . it does n't matter whether i think aj deserves michael 's love . michael 's gon na feel he could n't save him . and if he lives ... he 's gon na say who the shooter is . michael is gon na know that i broke that promise , that it was me . all i 've done , you know , is try to protect my children , but it does n't really matter right now , because ... michael 's gon na suffer .

[ scene_break ] nathan : so ... why should i back off dr. clay ? sam : because he 's innocent . nathan : i believe you . sam : you do ? nathan : well , i did n't believe you the first million times you told me , but now that it 's a million one ... sam : oh , come on ! you know what ? silas did not kill that pharmacist , nakamura . and he did n't poison his wife that left her in a coma . nathan : yeah , but all the evidence says he did . sam : no kidding ! evidence that was fabricated by ava . she 's trying to frame silas . why are n't you focusing on ava right now ? [ scene_break ] ava : i do n't want to kill you , aj . but you have n't given me a whole lot of choices here . here i am . standing before you , vulnerable to your every whim , and there you are -- hovering between life and death .

[ scene_break ] patrick : have a seat . [ clears throat ] monica : you mentioned there were a few possible treatments . michael : yeah , what can you do for him ? patrick : there are options , yes . one of them being treating the event with medication . michael : well , i 'm not expert here , but if it was that simple , would n't you have already tried that ? patrick : there 's nothing simple here , michael . with medication , it takes time to take effect . monica : and while we 're waiting , that aneurysm could burst , and it would kill him . patrick : that 's correct . michael : okay , so what 's the other option , then ? patrick : treating the problem with surgery . michael : and that would end the risk of an aneurysm , right ? patrick : there is risk involved with both of them , but with the aneurysm , surgery could create even a greater bleed . monica : and aj could stroke out , and that would leave him paralyzed or in a vegetative state . michael : or he could die . patrick : michael , there 's a great risk that aj could die either way . michael : so , what do you think we should do ? [ scene_break ] ava : you do impress me , aj . i did n't think you 'd make it this far . you 've really beaten the odds . but i 've heard the doctors , and they say , for all your perseverance , there 's still a very good chance that you wo n't survive . i 'm afraid i ca n't leave that up to chance . [ scene_break ] shawn : maybe you should try and get some sleep . sonny : every time i close my eyes , i see aj 's face , how he looked right before i pulled the trigger , like he 's haunting me . shawn : you 've hated the man most of michael 's life . you promised your son you would n't harm aj , although he deserved it . sonny : i broke that promise . shawn : so it only makes sense that you have trouble getting this out of your mind . sonny : what i ca n't get out of my head is the last words he said to me before i pulled the trigger . he looked at me and he said , `` i did n't do it ! i did n't kill connie ! `` and i shot him . and i keep wondering , was there something else he needed to say ? [ scene_break ] ava : just a couple of minutes . all of our problems will be solved . my problems , sonny 's problems . even yours . i 'll be off the hook for killing connie , sonny will be off the hook for shooting you , and you ... you wo n't have a care left in the world . now , i do n't want you to worry about me . i 've made sure all the loose ends are tied up . i 've got my alibi . and sonny 's got his . this really is the only option that makes sense . [ scene_break ] patrick : i wish i could tell you which option would have the best outcome . michael : well , could you tell us which one has the best odds , at least ? patrick : both of them have risk . there 's no guarantee , either way . michael : [ sighs ] you 're the doctor , right ? what do you think we should do ? monica : it is such a high - risk surgery . i mean , there is no way to predict an outcome . michael : but patrick 's the best there is . monica : oh , that i agree . that i agree . maybe i 'm just being overly cautious , and that 's the mother in me talking , not the doctor . michael : but you do n't -- you do n't want aj to have surgery . monica : if it was up to me , i would probably choose the less invasive procedure . but it 's not up to me . michael : well , what do you mean ? you 're his mother and a doctor . if it 's not your decision , then whose is it ? monica : it 's yours . [ scene_break ] tracy : kevin , i wanted to thank you for taking the time to see me the other day . i should n't have imposed . kevin : it 's all right . good thing all that extra chinese food did n't go to waste . tracy : it was passable . i 've had better . but the bottom line is , um , i was ... making a big deal out of nothing . kevin : a significant change in behavior is n't exactly nothing . tracy : except when it is . i talked to luke about it , and he admitted he 'd been having a bad day , and he apologized , quite eloquently , i might add , to both me and monica . kevin : is apologizing kind of a luke spencer thing ? tracy : it has been known to happen . the bottom line is he is rapidly getting back to his old self , so you do n't have to find out what happened at miscavige . kevin : well , i 'm glad he 's feeling better , but it is -- tracy : so am i , so let 's move on . kevin : i spoke to scott baldwin . now , you may not think it 's important if something happened at miscavige , but the truth is , something did . [ scene_break ] luke : i was just asking kiki here to help me get some coffee . morgan : okay . well , maybe we should hold on off on that , 'cause i do n't think caffeine is the best thing for everyone right now . luke : caffeine is always good . and i could use a hand . morgan : well , why do n't you ask tracy ?

[ chuckles ] i guess you consider that a pleasurable outing . silas : all i wanted was to see nina . madeline : things are going so well for you here , silas . why would you pretend to take an interest in my daughter now ? silas : okay , madeline . you wanted me to stand . i 'm standing . now , tell me what the hell happened to my wife ? [ scene_break ] nathan : you 're still here . sam : you still have n't answered my question . are you gon na investigate ava or not ? nathan : do you ever quit , ms. morgan ? sam : not when you 're going after an innocent man . ava is just as likely a suspect as silas . nathan : all right , you want me to take you seriously ? sam : i do . nathan : give me evidence . sam : okay , where do i start ? i do n't know . ava was in new york when nakamura died . we both know that ava is the one who tried to kill nina and put her in a coma . and we both know that she had a motive . nathan : she did . she was pregnant from a married man . sam : exactly ! she wanted silas all to herself . of course , she wanted silas ' wife out of the way . nathan : it 's possible . but ... nakamura implicated clay . why would ava poison him ? sam : ava is a criminal . nakamura , not so much . i 'm sure ava thought that he would buckle under pressure . nathan : well , it 's a great theory . or it would be , if ava did n't have an alibi for nakamura 's death . sam : come on ! do n't tell me you 're gon na buy any of that crap . what , do you think that she was down at ryan 's , knocking back some beers ? if you believe that , there 's a bridge i want to sell you , too . nathan : which bridge ? 'cause it happens i 'm in the market . sam : come on . ava left ryan 's long before you showed up and announced that nakamura was dead . nathan : ava says she was visiting gallery associates . sam : [ chuckles ] yeah , of course . and let me guess -- her friends backed her up ? of course , they would back her up and give her an alibi . they 're probably afraid that she 'll kill them ! nathan : or she actually was where she said she was , at the gallery she owns , with people who really do work for her . sam : why is it so impossible for you to believe that ava could be a killer ? ! come on ! please ! the woman is in the mafia ! why would n't she be able to do this ? [ scene_break ] ava : strange it would come down to this , is n't it ? i mean , if connie had just spelled out my name -- just one more letter . a - v - a -- instead of just my initials , that are also your initials , none of us would be in this situation . sonny would n't have shot you , you would n't be lying here in this bed . and i -- i 'd be rotting in a marsh some place instead of standing here with your life in my hands . i bet you do n't think of yourself as a lucky person . think about it , aj . how lucky for you that you did n't bleed out on my floor . how lucky for you that sonny chose that one moment to develop a conscience . ever since the day connie wrote those initials in her own blood , you have been living on borrowed time . all i 'm doing is help nature take its course . [ monitor beeping rapidly ] ava : [ gasps when aj grabs her arm ] [ scene_break ] michael : how could this be my decision ? monica : when aj took over elq , he had to update a lot of his personal and legal documents . he wanted his new relationship with you to be represented in those documents . michael : represented how ? monica : michael , you got to understand , he was so happy to be working with you , to have the closeness with his son that he always wanted . so , we both decided that he would give you his power of attorney and his healthcare proxy . michael : he never said anything . why would he do this ? monica : because he loves you . and most of all , he trusts you . he knows that you 're gon na do what 's best for him . [ scene_break ] kiki : so , i went to the quartermaines ' to find michael , but michael was n't there . luke was , and he was being really nice to me , except ... morgan : except what ? kiki : he kept giving me this really creepy look , and then he put his hand on my leg . morgan : what ? kiki : and that 's not it ! just a little while ago , he grabbed my ass ! morgan : i 'm gon na break this guy 's hand . kiki : no , no , no , no , no . you 're not . you 're not . you ca n't . morgan : okay , yeah , you 're right . i 'm sorry . michael has to handle this . did you tell michael about this ? kiki : michael ca n't know about it because not -- his father is fighting for his life , and i do n't want michael to go to jail , because he beat the living crap out of luke . even though luke is being a really skeezy perv right now . morgan : this is strange , because , you know , i 've known him for a long time . not well , but he 's basically my great uncle , he 's friends with my dad , but , you know , i guess you never really know someone . kiki : yeah , i guess not . morgan : look . the timing sucks right now , but at some point , you got to tell michael about this . kiki : i know . we 're just in a really weird place right now , and i do n't exactly know where we stand . morgan : okay , and that 's fine , but while you 're figuring that out , that does n't mean that you have to deal with this crap . kiki : [ chuckles ] morgan . you know if this were anyone else , i would have kneed him in the nuts and clocked him while he was doubled over by now . morgan : okay , so why do n't you do that this time ? kiki : because i ca n't make a scene in front of tracy . morgan : why not ? kiki : oh , you did n't hear . tracy and luke are engaged . morgan : what ? when did that happen ? kiki : a few days ago , and because tracy and michael are both quartermaines ... morgan : oh , mike . yeah . michael and luke are gon na be related . kiki : yeah , i have to treat this situation very delicately . morgan : actually , you know what ? you do n't need to do anything . i 'm gon na take care of this . [ scene_break ] kevin : when scott and luke were locked up in miscavige , scott made such a ruckus that heather 's goons had to come in and quiet him down . tracy : so what did they do ? kevin : injected him with a sedative . tracy : that 's it ? they injected him with a sedative ? kevin : before scott passed out , he heard one of them say , `` it 's time , `` and the last thing he remembers is them dragging luke out of the cell . tracy : time for what ? kevin : he has no idea . [ scene_break ] nathan : look , i answered your question . i know it was n't the answer that you wanted , but the fact remains . ava has an alibi for nakamura 's death . clay does not . sam : yes , he does . he was on the phone with a patient . nathan : i checked his phone records . there was no call . sam : okay , well , who cares ? maybe he did n't use his cell phone . maybe he used the landline at the hotel . nathan : or maybe he was busy killing nakamura . either way , i 'll check it out . sam : well , thank you very much , detective . it 's nice to know that my tax dollars will be hard at work . nathan : you know what i do n't get ? it 's why you 're so willing to stand by dr. clay . i doubt he 'd do the same for you . sam : why would you even say that ? nathan : because he has a wife in a coma that he has never made an attempt to visit . sam : for your information , silas did try to visit . we went to visit her right after you left us at ryan 's . nathan : i guess there 's a first time for everything . so , how did it go ? sam : nina was n't there . why is it that you 're not surprised to hear that ? [ scene_break ] madeline : how dare you speak to me that way ! silas : i 'll speak to you any way i want . now , tell me what happened to nina . madeline : or what ? are you going to try to poison me the way you poisoned that poor pharmacist , who was only trying to tell the truth ? or the way you tried to poison my daughter ? silas : i did n't do anything to nina . madeline : that was always your mantra . `` i did n't do anything ! `` well , the repetition does n't make it any more believable . silas : the truth makes it believable . madeline : the truth is you tried to kill my daughter , and you got away with it . so , what are you up to now ? are you gon na try to pin it on your old mistress , ava ? i would n't be surprised if t two of you were in it together . nina was just an obstacle that had to be removed so that you , your lover , and nina 's money could live happily ever after . silas : i did n't know about the money ! i only found about the will after she -- madeline : after she almost died and went into a coma . how very convenient . silas : you do n't have to like it , but it 's the truth . madeline : any more or less true than your insistence that you never cheated on nina ? that you were never unfaithful ? all those denials you made to the police , and , yet , you have a daughter who is just the right age to have been conceived when you and nina were so very happily married , according to you . silas : i live with my transgressions every day . the only thing you need to know , madeline , is i love nina . i did n't give a damn about her money . madeline : really ? good . then prove it . sign these . [ scene_break ] shawn : i know this is easier said than done , sonny , man , but you got to stop worrying about what lies aj was gon na tell you . we both know he killed connie . come on . sonny : he never denied it . shawn : that lowlife would have said anything to save his own ass . sonny : yeah . shawn : he 's a coward , through and through . what happened at ava 's just proves it . him showing up there , begging ava for a job so he could throw in with the jeromes ? just another opportunity to hurt you . but to ava 's credit , she kicked aj to the curb . and instead of leaving like a man because he could n't take no for an answer , he tries to kill her , as he did connie . sonny , look at me . trust me . i 'm telling you he did it . who else could it have been ?

[ scene_break ] jason : we got serious problems with the sandovals . our business has shut down since the kids were taken . they have moved in because we 've been too distracted to stop them . sonny : killing luke is going to fix this how ? jason : luke betrayed you by setting faith free whether you want to see it or not , sonny . sonny : and the fact that luke and i used to be business partners , friends , the fact that i -- i , you know , went camping with his son or that he gave you your first job -- that means nothing to you ? jason : well , would the kids have been kidnapped if faith were still in prison ? sonny : this is n't about business for you . it 's about revenge . killing luke is not going to bring michael back . jason : sonny , you 're a target . people are waiting to take you out . everyone in our business knows luke busted faith out ! you want luke to live , let him live , but that makes us look weak . and that could get you killed . [ scene_break ] skye : you walked away in the middle of our discussion . luke : what 's to discuss ? you said you wanted out , so go . skye : so that 's it ? luke : clean and simple . skye : oh , come on , luke . nothing between us has ever been simple . why should goodbye be any different ? [ scene_break ] sam : can i please see the photograph ? reese : all right . but the bureau has already run comprehensive tests on it . this photo is not doctored . sam : well , maybe somehow it was staged . reese : well , according to the experts , this image is real . michael 's lying dead in a swamp , sam . sam : is the f.b.i . still searching for his body ? reese : yeah , but it 's just a formality at this point . there 's over half a million acres of swamp in this section of louisiana . we may never find the body . sam : well , until we do , there 's still hope that michael is alive . reese : statistically , yeah , i suppose that 's a possibility . but as far as the bureau is concerned , this case is closed . sam : jason does n't think so . he wo n't let go . [ scene_break ] luke : there are no surprises here -- we 're both intelligent people . we knew we were mismatched from the start . skye : and that start would be ? luke : the first night when i broke into your house , took you hostage . skye : oh , gee , i do n't know how we could 've gotten off on the wrong foot from there . luke : neither one of us was looking for a relationship . skye : well , it happened despite the odds . luke : we had some laughs because we needed them , both of us . the laughs ended ; so did we . skye : oh , it was more than that , luke , and you know it . when i was out at that parapet at wyndemere hallucinating from being drugged , i could 've killed myself , but you showed up and you saved me and you told me that night how much i meant to you . luke : look , look , we do n't need to rehash this . you want to say goodbye ? you want to go , go ! skye : i owe you more than that . luke : not in my book . skye : hey , you know what ? i saved you , too , when i found you out on that bluff after stefan cassadine committed suicide and you were downing that bottle of whiskey and you were about to go over the edge yourself , but i grabbed you and i stopped you and you told me that when you save somebody 's life , you 're responsible for it . luke : that 's always been a great pickup line , do n't you think ? skye : you meant every word ! luke : you do n't actually believe the crap that comes out of my mouth ? come on , skye , you 're too smart for that . skye : hey , i 'm smart enough to know that we made a connection , ok ? something real and strong , something that we never thought would ever come along again in our lives . luke : i do n't understand this . you said it was a bad habit you wanted to break . you said goodbye . what are you doing -- changing your mind ? skye : no . i 'm saying i -- luke : what you 're saying is that when things get messy , you bail . and -- and you see dots that i do n't connect like we busted faith out of prison and then corinthos ' kid , he got killed . skye : no . what i ca n't handle is the fact that you wo n't take responsibility for your part in a little boy 's death ! [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're saying it 's luke 's life or mine ? jason : could be . sonny , you know luke understands this business . sonny : mm - hmm . jason : he knew the risk he was taking by setting faith free . sonny : why is n't it our fault for letting her live as long as we did ? jason : we let faith live as a favor to luke and he gave his word that he would control her and he could n't . and then faith was finally in prison , he could n't leave that alone , either . sonny : ok , you know what ? a lot of what you 're saying is right , but that does n't take into consideration the friendship i had with luke for years . first of all , he killed frank smith , which gave me the opening to take over . he was my business partner in that club for years . i watched his son grow up ; he watched stone get sick and die . one night , some of my competitors came to take me out ; they hit my apartment and his house at the same time . his wife and kids were there -- they all could 've been dead because of me ! so are you telling me i ca n't own this one mistake ? i ca n't look away for a man who was once my friend ? jason : michael was your son . sonny : ok . yeah . whew . jason : sonny , luke contributed to michael 's death and he needs to pay . and you know killing luke is going to make morgan and kristina safer . sonny : do it . carly : jason . what 's -- jason ? how 's sonny ? what 's going on ? jason : he 's ok . carly : he 's not ok , jason . what is going on ? jason : i 'm dealing with it . carly : dealing with what ? jason : at this point , it 's business . carly : jason , sonny is grieving right now and he can not think straight -- you know that . i know you 're grieving , too , but you have to be the voice of reason right now . sonny ca n't . sonny ? sonny , what 's going on ? what did you just send jason to do ? [ scene_break ] skye : luke , do n't get me wrong -- i 'm not holding myself up as some shining example of morality . luke : oh , god , i hate that word . skye : hey , you know what ? that word has gotten a really bad rap , you know that ? it does n't -- it does n't mean `` narrow - minded `` or `` judgmental . `` you know what that word means ? it means `` code of behavior of right human conduct . `` you know , it 's funny the things that stick in your head . i actually had to learn what that meant when i was 12 years old for an english class . the point being that there are lines that we wo n't cross ; things we ca n't do . now , i 'll admit that my list is somewhat short , but i ca n't hurt a child and i ca n't stand the fact that i 'm partly responsible for one being killed . luke : i got that . oh , believe me , i get that loud and clear . but i do n't see myself as responsible for any of it and that wo n't change ! so i 've taken your point . maybe it 's better if we do n't see each other anymore . skye : fine . wow . you know , i really thought that you were a kindred soul , somebody with similar flaws and weaknesses ; somebody who battled the same demons that i did . the feeling i had with you , being known and accepted probably for the first time in my life , has been indescribably precious to me . but all of a sudden , it just cost too much . [ scene_break ] john : any update on the corinthos investigation ? reese : i just got the assignment . john : yeah , well , there 's no time to waste . you 've laid the groundwork ; you won sonny 's confidence -- [ buzzer ] john : now use it . put him away . reese : for god 's sake , durant , the man just lost his child . he 's grieving . john : the man is making up for lost time . the sandoval crime family has been moving in , setting up shop in sonny 's territory while he 's been out looking for his kids . they keep pushing sonny ; he is going to need to push back soon . reese : i told agent marquist and now i 'm telling you , i will do this my way . john : ah , which means you 're going to do nothing . reese : that 's not what i said . john : look , lady , i have already lost one grandson . i am not about to lose another one . the only way i can protect carly and morgan is to get them away from sonny . reese : then you should be telling this to carly , not to me . john : i already have . she wo n't listen . now , i 'm going to do the next best thing -- i 'm going to make sure that sonny corinthos goes to prison for a very , very long time . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm taking steps to protect my family . carly : ok , what kind of steps ? sonny : it 's business . carly : i already got that from jason . sonny : well , then you got to respect it . what jason is doing is for you , kristina , and morgan . he 's ensuring that you never get hurt . carly : look , sonny , i 'm not asking you for details , ok ? but you are devastated by michael 's death and i am just not sure that you 're thinking clearly right now . sonny : i 'm thinking fine ! carly : are you sure ? sonny : jason is just -- he 's sending out a message that whoever comes after my family is going to pay . carly : you know that nothing you do is going to bring michael back . sonny : do n't you think i know that ? i promised you i 'd keep my kid safe . i promised michael the same thing , told him that nothing was ever going to happen to him and i -- i -- whew . my son died and i 'm going to make sure that no harm comes to the other one . carly : and what if it makes things worse , sonny ? i mean , what if it just escalates the violence ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey . what are you doing ? jason : following the money trail to see where it goes . sam : any new leads ? jason : not yet . sam : not yet . are you still thinking someone else was involved ? jason : there 's no other explanation for the money faith got paid when the kids were taken . sam : look . jason , i just got done speaking with reese . jason : yeah , and she thinks it 's a closed case . maybe she 's right , sam , but i still need my answers . sam : and the f.b.i . experts went over the photo of michael and there is nothing to indicate that it was doctored or staged . which means michael is almost certainly gone .

[ scene_break ] reese : how you doing , sonny ? sonny : it 's been a tough day . glad it 's over , you know ? thank you for coming to the memorial / reception . reese : i wanted to pay my respects . sonny : i appreciate it . reese : i took what happened to michael very personally . sonny : yeah , i know . reese : nothing about this case has been routine for me , sonny . sonny : you going back to washington tonight ? reese : no . i 'm not going back at all . there 's been a change of plan . actually , i 'm staying here in port charles in my official capacity as a federal agent . sonny : i 'm back to being your number one assignment .

[ jason sighs ] sam : carly is probably pretty resourceful . she could be useful in this situation . jason : because carly will tell herself not to get her hopes up , but she will . and then she 'll start believing michael 's alive . she 'll actually start to count on it . and if it -- if it turns out michael 's gone , you know , she 'll go through the pain of losing him all over again , and i ca n't set her up to have her heart broken twice . sam : even though that 's exactly what you 're doing right now ?

[ scene_break ] jason : sonny , i need to speak to you in private . dante : there he is -- the enforcer -- here to update you on the status of his latest assignment . how is michael , by the way ? is he enjoying being stashed away wherever you got him ? aw , come on , guys . i want to be in the clubhouse of knowledge , too . i mean , it 's all in the family , right ? sonny : yeah , you 're family . jason : he 's a cop , sonny . dante : yeah , that 's right . i am . so , sonny ... why do n't you stop this lip service of protecting michael and actually do something that might help him ? sonny : you got a suggestion for that ? dante : yeah , i do . stop putting this kid through endless types of hell . tell me where he is . let him come clean about claudia 's murder . let this kid pick up the pieces of whatever 's left of his life , and maybe he has a shot at living a normal one . [ scene_break ] helena : i do n't appreciate impertinence , dr. webber . steve : i asked a simple question . why were you in conference with one of my lab techs ? helena : well , if you insist on being possessive about it , he 's just as much mine as yours . well , more so , when you consider the fact that it is my family 's money that is the lifeblood of this hospital . and as long as that 's true , dr. webber , i will speak to whomever i choose , on staff or off . now , if you 're uncomfortable with that , mercy hospital is just down the road . steve : you ca n't fire me . helena : i can make it happen . after all , everyone has a skeleton in their closet . right , dr. webber ? [ scene_break ] lucky : if the baby 's mine , then i 'll love it just the same way that i love cam and jake . elizabeth : you 're avoiding the question . i know that 's an answer in itself , but i really need to hear you say it . lucky : okay . i want to be away from you , elizabeth ... from us . we 're not the people that we used to be . i want to find a new way to live . and i want you to do that as well . and having a kid together would be one more thing keeping us trapped in something that does n't work anymore . and it has n't in a long time . elizabeth : [ sniffling ] okay . okay . at least i 'm clear now . lucky : i 'm not trying to hurt you . elizabeth : i know . i know . you never want to hurt me . it 's just a lot to absorb . that 's all . well , thanks for coming by . lucky : okay .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't think i would have told dante . jason : what do you mean , you do n't think ? sonny : god , jason , i 'm not sure what 's right anymore ! jason : what 's right is committed to protecting michael . that 's what 's right -- sonny : there 's another son in the mix ! it 's a fact . i 'm dante 's father . he 's my son . he 's not some detached cop . he has genuine concern for morgan and for michael , his brothers . i 'm sure he 'd be compassionate . he 'd come to understand why i 've been covering all this time . jason : i think you do n't want dante to believe that you 're ... capable of beating a woman to death . sonny : i 'm not gon na deny it . i hate that dante ... looks at me and sees deke ... the worst man in the world -- a man who could beat a woman senseless . jason : even if dante believes that you killed claudia , i 'm sure he can tell the difference between you and deke . sonny : i think back , you know ? trapped in that hellhole ... just dying by abuse . it still haunts me . i used to go months , sometimes years . i can go -- nothing ever happens . and then all of a sudden , something triggers something , and i go right back to that place . it 's the noise , deke 's fist connecting ... delicate bones breaking ... strangled cries . 'cause my mother , if she would just make a noise , he would beat her twice as hard . i hate that man . and now i see dante , he looks at me with contempt . what i want to do is , i want ... i want to get michael and dante , sit them both down . okay ? put the cards on the table and make dante understand . jason : i -- sonny : that 's what i 'm feeling . do you know ? jason : yes , i understand that . but that is very dangerous thinking , because dante , i 'm gon na tell you right now , does n't care about a warm and fuzzy moment with you and michael . sonny , if you tell dante the truth , he 's gon na use it against michael . michael could go to prison . please ... do n't get carried away . i know you wish things were different . do not sacrifice michael for dante . sonny : i hear what you 're saying .

'cause right now , it 's about robin . spinelli : maxie ! what -- maxie : why -- why are n't you at robin 's funeral ? spinelli : what the hell happened here ? maxie : i was looking for something . spinelli : look , you 're clearly in distress . maxie : look , i 'm busy , spinelli , okay ? i have a thousand things to do before friday 's shoot , so -- spinelli : before you do any of that , you have to grieve for robin . maxie : you keep saying that . spinelli : because i 'm right . maxie : look -- mac already told me all the reasons why i should go to the funeral , and he said that i 'd probably regret it forever . and maybe i will . but guess what .

'cause i do n't want to be hugged . and i do n't need to be hugged . and i do n't deserve to be . spinelli : you do n't deserve ? maxie : [ sobbing ] why wo n't you just leave me alone ? spinelli : maxie , why on the day of robin 's funeral do you feel you do n't deserve to be comforted ? we 're gathered here to honor someone who was special to us all , a woman who touched many lives and was loved dearly by her family and friends . it 's impossible to fully express the meaning of her life , but we can pay tribute to all the ways in which she helped , loved , taught , and enlightened us . it is with heavy hearts that we say our final goodbyes to robin scorpio - drake . molly : so you 'll let me d jason : did you just `` heathcliff `` ? is that what i -- molly : yeah . and , um , i like ophelia for a girl . of course , in `` hamlet , `` she goes mad and dies , but , you know , it 's still a pretty name . jason : yeah . i - i 'll have to run those by sam . molly : okay . oh , and just so you guys know , i want to babysit . you do n't even have to pay me . jason : well , of course we would pay you . babysitting 's a job . molly : so you 'll let me do it ? jason : i ca n't think of anyone better . you sure you 're gon na have the time to do it ? molly : well , i mean , i 'm pretty busy with homework and debate club and running for the school magazine , but i 'll work around it . jason : good . you know , you and your mom are -- are -- are really dressed up . what -- what 's happening today ?

[ sighs ] [ door opens ] monica : well , you look absolutely fabulous . you 're making a marvelous recovery . jason : so , am i free to go ? monica : dr. morucci has looked at all your test results , and he 's very encouraged . jason : great . can -- can he sign off on me ? monica : well , patrick is your doctor on record . he 's the one that has to do it . jason : right , but he 's not here , and i -- and i feel fine , so -- monica : well , there are -- there are just so many variables , jason . if -- if one of us were to sign you off and , god forbid , you had an episode , all of robin 's work would just be in vain . before the formal interment ritual , some of those closest to robin would like to share their thoughts . detective scorpio . mac : uh -- i was no one 's idea of father material when i took on the responsibility of raising robin . mac : i 'm gon na give robin the love and support and respect that she deserves . you did a good job , robbie . she 's a fine young lady . and i 'm gon na take care of her , just like i promised . mac : but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me . robin and i figured it out as we went along . i promised to take care of her . but it was clear from the beginning that she was also taking care of me . robin : even if i do n't agree with what you do or what you say , i can try and understand where you 're coming from , because -- i know you love me . [ sighs ] and i love you , too . mac : robin was -- so smart , so capable . she had a very strong sense of right and wrong . it was clear she had just an incredible future in front of her . my job was to stay out of the way . above everything else , my job was to protect her . so , when she fell for a high - school dropout named stone cates , who ran with a dangerous crowd , i was less than enthusiastic . but i had a lot to learn about stone , about my niece -- about robin 's capacity for hope and love . spinelli : something else is troubling you . maxie : yeah . robin 's gone , spinelli , okay ? that 's what troubles me . and going to her funeral , it is n't gon na bring her back . so , i have decided that i 'm going to go ahead , put one foot ahead of the other , and move on with my life . that 's what robin would want , you know . she 'd want me to move on with my life and do my work . spinelli : maxie , i know you . maxie : not as well as you think . spinelli : what do you mean by that ? maxie : i mean i want you to go away , okay , and leave me alone . spinelli : alone is the last thing you should be right now . maxie : well , that 's my decision , not yours . spinelli : look , i was the one that delivered the terrible news of dr. robin 's death . i am well aware of the pain that you are suffering . and if i may be so bold , i think it might ease your pain to be in the company of others that loved her . maxie : why do i have to have this argument with you when i 've already had it with mac ? what is comforting about going to a funeral of someone who died way too young ? spinelli : it 's to honor one who touched her life . it is a - a ritual celebration of who she was . maxie : i am not going to celebrate the fact that robin died . spinelli : well , then , celebrate that she lived ! [ door opens ] mac : i watched robin mature and become an adult the year stone battled aids . and when robin was diagnosed with h.i.v . , i was awed by her courage . robin : i asked owen to give me the test , and he brought over the results last night . i 'm h.i.v . positive . [ voice breaking ] i 'm so sorry . [ sniffles ] it 's true . mac : robin faced her diagnosis like she faced everything that life threw at her -- with strength and dignity . i miss your mommy , emma . i know you miss her , too . [ sniffles ] i 'm gon na tell you something that i always used to say to robin . `` we 're family . we 're scorpios . and there 's nothing we ca n't get through together . `` [ sniffles ] nurse johnson ? something strange just happened . epiphany : what 's that ? carly jacks just tried to bribe me to open the supply room and turn my back while she stole some scrubs . epiphany : scrubs ? again ? how stubborn can that woman be ? ! monica : i ca n't get over how great you look . jason : thank you so much . thank you for everything you 've done for me and -- and sam . monica : well , there 's something that you can do for sam . you can just take it easy , wait just a little longer . jason : [ sighs ] can you -- can you actually just try to find patrick since he 's the only one that girl over there will believe ? monica : [ chuckles ] all right . i will do my best . okay . jason : [ sighs ] sam : i know you 're anxious to leave . jason : i am . i am , but i do n't want you to worry , and i know the stress is n't good for you -- guys . [ both chuckle ] sam : one more day , and we have the rest of our lives . elizabeth : robin was a good friend , and she was the best mommy i ever knew . she was so full of compassion . she was fair . she always wanted to be fair . did n't mean she was perfect . we all know how stubborn she could be . but she was stubborn for a reason . she fought hard for what she believed in , and she fought hard for the people she loved . a few months ago when she thought she might not be here for emma -- she asked if i would step in for her . well , i knew then what i know now -- and that 's robin 's irreplaceable . sam : oh , what names did molly come up with ? jason : [ chuckles ] uh , one was , uh , heathcliff and a bunch of other names from shakespeare . sam : that 's definitely not on our top 10 . jason : was n't good , but the good news is , she does want to -- want to babysit . sam : that 's great news . jason : yeah . sam : i think it 's really good news . you know why ? jason : why ? sam : 'cause we need to carve out some private time for each other . jason : i -- sam : agree ? jason : yeah . sam : good . [ chuckles ] [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] epiphany : sorry , i do n't mean to interrupt , but , uh , can i speak with you for a moment ? sam : yeah . of course . do n't go anywhere . okay , what is this about ? epiphany : carly . spinelli : maxie , robin would want you to there . maxie : [ voice breaking ] you were n't there that night in the lab , spinelli . okay ? you did n't see what i did . and you did n't hear what i said . why would robin want me there after that ? spinelli : she would want you there to be sustained by -- by others that she loved . she would want you all to help each other . maxie : i ca n't help anyone . spinelli : it is n't right for someone who loved robin so much to be absent from this gathering . maxie : [ sniffles ] sonny : i think we 're here , all of us -- different lives , different backgrounds -- because robin had an open - door policy with her heart . she did n't rely on judgments . she pretty much made her own . there was something , um -- there was something very special about robin . uh , there was a light inside of her . and like mac , i was witness to the love that she -- she gave to stone . i had watched her just stand by him -- through his last year when he , uh -- he was battling aids . mac : he 's doing pretty good . robin 's with him . sonny : what 's wrong ? mac : she tested h.i.v . positive . she 's telling him right now . sonny : robin did n't like me very much when we -- when i first met her 'cause she did n't think i was a good enough influence for stone . but as we worked together and h - held his spirits up , holding his hand while he -- he slowly lost his life -- we first learned to respect , and then we learned to love each other . sam : what has carly done now ? epiphany : tried bribing the orderly to get into the supply closet so she can get a hand on another set of scrubs . sam : of course , she did . unbelievable . epiphany : that 's one woman i would not underestimate . sam : okay , i 'm gon na try to put a stop to this . thank you . epiphany : fine with me , because i am tired of carly stirring up a mess around here . sam : yeah .

[ quiet organ music playing ] mac : maxie , uh , refused to come to the funeral . anna : oh . maybe robert and her were on to something . perhaps we should all just run away . mac : hey . hey . we need to do this . anna : i do n't know if i can . i feel like i 'm going to start screaming and i 'm not gon na be able to stop . mac : come on . you can . we can do this , okay ? for robin . okay ? maxie : i mean , honestly , robin . god ... you can be so selfish sometimes . maxie : [ sobs ] [ screams ] elizabeth : okay . ready to go ? patrick : oh , you look so cute . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] patrick : you have your bracelet on , too ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . she is all done up . | it 's the day of robin 's funeral . robin 's apparition convinces patrick that he is strong enough to go . mac tells anna that in lieu of a gravesite ceremony , elizabeth has arranged for a commemorative brick and rooftop ceremony at general hospital after the funeral . sonny offers his condolences to patrick . patrick tells him that he has no more right to be there than does that murdering bastard , jason . mac , elizabeth , and sonny each say a few words remembering robin . maxie does n't go to the funeral . she breaks down at the office . spinelli goes to her office to get her . he finds everything that should be on her desk is strewn on the floor . he tells her that it is clearly a manifestation of her grief and that she should be at robin 's funeral . she does n't see the point of going as it wo n't undo what has happened . he tries to hug her but she tells him that she does n't deserve to be hugged . she adamantly refuses to go to the funeral and tells him to leave her alone . he says alone is the last thing that she needs to be and that she might find comfort in the company of others who loved robin . he says robin would want her there . maxie does n't think robin would want her there after what she said and did that day in the lab . |

[ scene_break ] carly : you can say nothing to anyone about this . you start running your mouth , you will never find out who has those elq shares , and your dream of redeeming yourself in michael 's eyes , we know what 'll happen there . aj : i 'm so sorry , elizabeth . ellie : good morning . aj : let 's hope so . how 'd that scan go that you had run ? ellie : uh , you 're referring to the endoscopy which was performed on damian ? aj : uh , yeah , that one . look , if we ca n't reconstruct the relish recipe , i ca n't guarantee the future of elq . ellie , please , michael and i are really counting on you .

[ scene_break ] sam : you 're thinking about rafe , huh ? what about tj ? molly : i was n't thinking about rafe like that . i just have n't heard from him since they threw him in that group home . sam : well , i 'm sure he made it there okay . molly : i just want to know if he 's okay . is that too much to ask ? sam : no . why do n't you call him ? molly : how ? rafe does n't have a cell phone . i ca n't even text him . sam : okay . well , remember there is a thing called land lines . molly : yes , but i do n't even know what home social service sent him to , so even if i wanted to call him on a land line , it 's impossible . sam : maybe not . [ scene_break ] felix : what the hell was aj doing kissing on carly ? she told me that he fills her with murderous rage . of course , there 's a thin line between love and hate . elizabeth : in carly 's case , it 's lust and hate . but if aj does n't know by now to stay away from carly after all the misery she has caused him , then that is his problem , not mine . felix : clearly , there 's a lot of history here to which i am not privy . fortunately for you , i know your story up and down , so the first thing i 'm gon na do is go talk to dr. dreamboat -- sabrina : oh , no , no , no . you are not gon na do that . i have humiliated myself enough for 10 lifetimes , okay ? i just want to -- i just want to forget that the whole thing ever happened , please . felix : all i can say is , if these two fools ca n't see what 's right in front of them , then it 's their loss . we need to focus on the bright side . sabrina : which is ? felix : well , for starters , you were n't fired . you passed the final , which means ... sabrina : which means ? felix : we 're all nurses ! sabrina : right . lucy : i certainly hope so . we have a gigantic event to plan , and it 's not called the student nurses ' ball .

[ scene_break ] aj : so where are we with reconstructing the relish recipe ? ellie : well , we performed the endoscopy , hoping to locate the paper and extract it surgically . aj : and ? ellie : and ... unfortunately , the acid in his stomach dissolved the recipe . so all we discovered was that damian has the beginnings of an ulcer . spinelli : i 've been under a lot of stress lately , so ... aj : yeah , you 're not the only one . i was really hoping this was gon na work so i would n't have to start with plan `` b. `` spinelli : i 'm sorry . plan `` b `` ? aj : yeah , it 's not a real pretty option . desperate times call for desperate measures . spinelli : [ sighs ] this is all my fault . if i had n't succumbed to tracy 's threats , none of this would have happened , and you would 've been on your way to world relish domination . aj : all i want to do is restore elq , just keep it going for future generations ... maybe prove myself to my son in the process . ellie : i suppose i could try to reconstruct my notes using trial and error . i mean , the other ingredients -- spinelli : you wo n't have to . there 's another way .

[ scene_break ] kevin : so you want me to use hypnosis to help ellie recall a molecular diagram that she only saw for as long as it took to jot it down ? spinelli : yeah , that 's -- that 's the plan . kevin : well , uh ... how do you feel about the idea of hypnosis ? ellie : i 'm a little nervous , actually . in college , i went to a hypnosis show in vegas , and they made me sing a song from `` les mis , `` so ... kevin : oh , well , i can promise you there will be no singing . ellie : [ chuckles ] well , i know we need to get this recipe . so if this will help ... kevin : i ca n't make any guarantees , but many subjects have said that hypnosis helps memories come to the surface . spinelli : it 's actually important that no one knows about this , particularly lucy . kevin : oh , i do n't think i 'll be telling anyone that i used hypnotherapy to recover a relish recipe . so , uh , would you mind waiting outside ? spinelli : is -- is that necessary ? kevin : well , the patient needs to concentrate . spinelli : of course . i 'll be right outside . ellie : okay . kevin : all right , ellie . now , just ... try and relax . there . you comfortable ? ellie : yeah . kevin : okay . all right . first thing i 'd like you to do is just ... clear your mind . now , once your thoughts stop racing , i just want you to start counting backwards from 100 . ellie : okay . kevin : you understand ? ellie : yeah .

[ scene_break ] lucy : okay . read my lips , my baby nurses -- stop worrying about the money . it will all work out . felix : maybe ms. coe 's right . i mean , you have to spend money to attract money . but without the check from elq , we wo n't be able to afford the startup costs . elizabeth : maybe we could just focus on smaller businesses and get local donations . sabrina : and we scale all of this back . elizabeth : yeah , we could have a banquet , right ? lucy : oh , my goodness ! really ? ! a banquet ? oh , ye of little faith . have you not learned yet ? never underestimate lucy coe . i said it will all work out , and i mean it 's gon na all work out , okay ? okay . we have . the money .

[ scene_break ] molly : you could 've had a concussion . rafe : molly , i 'm fine , really . mcbain : so , the kid watches his mother die , and then he has to confront ... confront a killer , and the city rewards him by sticking him in a group home where every day 's gon na be a fight . i know the system 's supposed to be fair , but this is extreme . sam : well , maybe after this , social services will find a foster home for him . molly : why did n't you call me ? rafe : molly , i 've put you through enough . but i 'm really glad you 're here now . mcbain : so i 'm gon na call social services . molly : what ? no , no , no . you ca n't send rafe back to that place . it 's too dangerous . mcbain : you 're right . you 're not going back there . [ scene_break ] starr : ellie 's getting hypnotized ? spinelli : yeah . it appears to be our last chance at recalling the missing ingredient . michael : look , it 's nice of ellie to agree to this , but at a certain point , we got to cut our losses . starr : michael , that might be easy for you to say , but how do you think aj will feel about it ? [ door opens ] starr : ellie . ellie : hi . spinelli : are -- are you all right ? ellie : yeah , i 'm fine . the experience of being hypnotized was oddly refreshing . kevin : well , you made an excellent subject , ellie . ellie : thanks . starr : okay . so , did it work ? do you remember the secret recipe ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : lucy , it 's not that we ever doubted you . we just knew that this was a major feat . sabrina : this is just so unexpected . i hope that you did n't feel pressured to do the impossible . felix : ms. coe -- may i call you lucy ? lucy : please do . felix : um , we already think you 're fabulous , and we know how much you care about the nurses ' ball , but ... sometimes things just do n't work out , no matter how much you want them to , so ... you do n't have to say we have the money if we do n't . lucy : oh , my goodness . we have the money . we just have to now plan the most spectacular show ever . felix : may i ? lucy : oh , by all means . felix : [ chuckles ] it 's real . lucy : of course , it is . sabrina : but how ? unless the sec unfroze the quartermaine bank accounts . lucy : which i have n't heard happen , really . it 'll happen , but i do n't know when , but it does n't matter . that is not from elq , and it is certainly not from the quartermaines . felix : look at all the zeroes . elizabeth : where did it come from ? lucy : i do n't know . i have no idea . it just appeared . there was no postmark , no return address . it 's from an anonymous donor .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you 're clearly wary of whatever that key unlocks -- a sentiment i completely share . but why not just get rid of it , you know ? deny helena any more of your emotional energy or time . laura : well , i guess because whether i put this in a drawer or i throw it in the harbor , i do n't think it 's gon na matter much . i know your grandmother far too well . whatever she has put into motion , the consequences are still out there , waiting for me . wow . even from beyond the grave , she has found a way to play her twisted games with me . [ scene_break ] anna : `` my darling griffin , if you are reading this , it means that i have joined our heavenly father in his eternal kingdom . i 'm finally at peace . but i 'm afraid that you are not . you 've always wanted to know who your father was , and now , as i am about to leave this world , it is finally time to tell you . your father is a man named duke lavery . i met him when i was very young , and as young girls tend to do , i fell in love with him . but your father lived a life very different from the one that i envisioned for myself . he was always on the move , looking for the next big thing . before i could tell him i was pregnant , he was gone . i had no idea where to look for him , and i was n't sure i wanted to . but when you were born , that changed . you looked just like him with your dark hair and your piercing eyes . i realized that you had a right to know your father . i was finally able to track him down in port charles , new york . by then , duke had fallen in love with another woman -- a woman with dark hair and eyes just as piercing as his . it was clear from the way duke looked at her that he was madly in love . i knew instantly that i could never come between them , and i did n't want to . so i raised you alone . i hope you do n't regret my decision . i do n't . that woman may have had duke 's heart , but i had something of him , too . i had you , my beautiful boy -- a constant reminder of your father 's quick wit and good soul . i missed your father every day , but having you here with me lessened that pain . i knew as long as i had you , i would never be alone . `` [ scene_break ] morgan : you do n't need to sit here and watch me . you do n't . i mean , that 's what this place is for -- it 's to lock the crazy people away so -- sonny : stop it , because that 's not what 's happening . morgan : i do n't -- i do n't blame you , dad . i just ... you should just leave me here . sonny : if i could take away your pain , i would . but in a w -- in a way , i 'm glad you 're feeling it . morgan : you 're glad . that 's nice . sonny : because at least you 're dealing with your feelings , and i know how hard it is to think that that ugly feeling inside is -- is never gon na end . i promise you , it will pass . and you 're gon na get through it . and you 're not gon na have to do it alone . i told you that i could n't have gone through the tough times if it was n't for your mom and jason . you got a lot of people here who want you to get better . me , your mother , kristina , michael -- we all love you . we 're in this together , right ? and we 're gon na get through it together .

[ scene_break ] lorenzo : if i lost a child and i were in love with his mother and i knew that we could grieve together , have a future when we felt like living again , i would try to get out of organized crime . create a safer life ; maybe disappear into academia . but if i was alone in this world and my sworn enemy had just murdered my son , i would show no mercy , and i would kill anyone even remotely connected . and then i would consolidate my power , expand my territory , and i would be hated and feared , even by members of my own family , but my family would be safe and no one would dare lay a hand on them . carly : yeah . and that 's what sonny 's going to do , and it is scaring me . lorenzo : sonny has two other children . maybe he can put his anger aside and give them a life he could n't give michael . carly : but michael was sonny 's heart .

[ scene_break ] carly : i think i 'm the reason that sonny 's not calling . jason : why , what happened ? carly : no -- nothing . i just wanted sonny to cancel his trip so he could take the boys , but he left sooner than i thought he was going to leave , so i called down there . i left tons of messages . must have sounded pretty ticked off , and he probably just deleted them all , along with yours . so can i -- you do n't need to get in the middle of me and manny fighting . i 'll just talk to you later . jason : ok , hold on . carly : what ? jason : you said that we 'd both been lied to . what did you mean ? carly : nothing , i was just being carly and mouthing off . jason : carly , what are you -- what are you not trying to tell me ? [ scene_break ] sam : you tried to kill manny yourself . he survived and caused a train wreck , which almost killed your wife and your unborn child . and then you and alexis went to court and got him set free . now that he 's back on the streets again , you 're back to wanting him dead . ric : the irony has n't escaped me , believe me . the point is , what do we do now ? sam : what exactly has manny done ? ric : i told you before , he was talking to kristina . sam : talking ? threatening her ? hurting her ? what ? ric : no , it 's just a feeling i got , sam . sam : oh , really ? like the feeling i had in the holding room when manny ripped my blouse off and threatened to rape me ? ric : i can not change the verdict , all right ? i just do n't want the man around my children . sam : i never wanted him around , period . but you and alexis twisted what i did in court and got it turned against me and got manny set free with a slap on the wrist . ric : you still want him gone . jason can make that happen . sam : no , jason will do what he wants , when he wants . ric : sam , kristina is sonny 's daughter . if jason can grasp the fact that she is in danger , then maybe -- sam : if you are so worried , why do n't you finish the job you started and kill manny yourself ? i am sure that your wife will get you acquitted . and if you want to protect your children , pack them up with your hypocritical wife and get out of town . i would be happy to help you with that . alexis : oh . are you working for a travel agent now ? -can i talk to you for a second ?

[ scene_break ] sam : hey . so , ric came to see me . he said he asked you to kill manny , but you were reluctant . and then he wanted me to talk you into it . jason : and what did you say ? sam : i said , clean up your own mess . and then alexis -- excuse me , my mother -- came in and she was all in a twist because evil manny is after kristina and i wanted to scream at the hypocrisy . but i did n't because we both agreed that it 's best that i do not tell her that i am the child she gave up . but every time i look at that woman , i get a knot in my stomach .

[ jax sighs ] carly : not to put words in your mouth , but you probably think that i 'm on the rebound from sonny . jax : well , that 's a given . carly : no . see , the question is , would i be sitting here right now with you if there were no sonny , and the answer is yes , amazingly enough . and i kind of realized that earlier and i 've been thinking about it the whole way over here and i just have n't really quite made sense of it yet because i used to think that you were totally contemptible . jax : oh . right back at you . carly : cute , but contemptible . and then with , you know , loving courtney and wanting to be a part of her son 's life and doing all that with you and then trying to take over with little john and you not telling me to get lost -- and then watching you want to be such a great father and wanting me to help , i just kind of started to see why courtney was attracted to you and then i kind of found myself liking you and , god help me , wanting you , and i ca n't believe i 'm sitting here telling you all this . jax : carly ? you 're an amazing woman . you really are . but , you know , we 've both been so busy with little john . i mean , i 've barely had time to come up for air and -- carly : yeah , i -- it 's just , it 's too much too soon and it 's kind of -- jax : right . carly : crazy and you probably feel like you are betraying courtney 's memory , so you know what ? i 'm just going to back off , i am . i 'm going to back off . i 'm going to go and we 're just going to keep everything about little john and i 'm just going to back off , ok ? jax : carly , wait . come here . i do n't know what this is . it certainly took me by surprise but , you know , maybe it 's -- maybe it 's loneliness or , i do n't know , maybe this is about courtney and her loss , but i do n't know . let 's just -- let 's just see where this takes us . ok ? as long as it 's not to spite sonny .

[ scene_break ] sam : when michael got shot , you and i , we were barely speaking . sam : i , you know , i could n't stop thinking about you because i knew that it must have been tearing you apart . jason : i sat with him at the hospital . you know , i had a lot of time to think . and now that michael 's had this procedure , i 've just been thinking about him so much lately , that every choice i made for him was wrong . sam : come on , jason . do n't you think you 're overstating just a little bit ? you were great for michael . i mean , you were the best he 's ever had , especially when he was a baby . jason : michael grew up surrounded by violence . it 's no wonder he kept running away . he was so traumatized that he actually stopped talking a couple times . did you know that ? he was kidnapped twice . sam : yeah , but you always saved him . jason : yeah , i always save everybody with violence and with guns . you know , i taught michael that violence is the solution to every problem . sam : jason , i think you 're being a little hard on yourself . jason : michael had a family . that 's what i kept saying to myself . sonny and carly were married -- you know how many times that carly wanted to leave sonny ? and i could 've helped . i could 've supported her and michael , got them out of there . but no , i kept encouraging her to go back , no matter how much they were hurting each other and michael . sam : sonny and carly love michael . so do you . jason : love did n't stop michael from picking up a gun and shooting somebody by accident . and love did n't keep him out of the warehouse . jason : michael was innocent , just like spinelli and winnifred . if i let winnifred risk her life to save spinelli from the trouble that i got him into , what have i learned from michael ?

[ both laugh ] anna : uh , well , her father could n't be here , but i know that he 'd probably say something the same as this , you know . i - i 'm -- uh , i have a letter from robin 's father . anna : oh , you do ? oh . it was delivered here with instructions for it to be read by luke spencer . luke : `` i know robin 's mother is disappointed i 'm not there today . probably others are , too . all i can say in my defense is i was sent off on an important mission by -- someone i trust more than anyone else in this world -- and to whom i 'm eternally grateful for helping me when i needed it most . robin 's death sent me into a tailspin because i knew how badly i 'd failed her . she was handicapped from the start having me as a father . but somehow , she turned out brilliantly , for which her mother deserves most of the credit . `` kate : that was a lovely speech you made . sonny : robin meant a lot to me . kate : must have brought up a bunch of memories for you -- robin and stone , you and brenda . sonny : but it 's all gone now -- you know , that part of my life . [ liquid pouring ] stone died , brenda 's gone , and -- robin 's death is pretty much the end of it . kate : but it never really ends , does it , sonny ? who we were then is part of who we are now , much as we try to deny it . to robin . sonny : to robin . [ glasses clink ] sonny : i want to thank you again for being there for me , okay ? 'cause it would have been so much harder if you were n't there . kate : i 'm glad i could have been there for you for a change . sonny : for a change ? what does that mean ? kate : i 've been all over the place lately . i 'm sorry . sonny : as long as you 're not running for the , you know , exits , i 'm -- i 'm not complaining . but i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na -- i am gon na bring up the -- the text , okay ? kate : what about it ? sonny : well , i mean , you -- like i said , you -- you text me to come to your office . i came right away . you were n't here . what was that about ? ewen : [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] sam : i know you 're in here , damn it . show yourself . ewen : if you insist . carly : i get that sam was worried about you , but come on . i 'm -- i 'm your best friend . i would never do anything to hurt you . jason : i know that . i know . but sam is -- is dealing with a lot right now , and i 'm just asking you to cut her some slack . carly : she had me banned , okay ? she put my picture at the front desk so people knew -- why are you laughing ? jason : because that -- that 's -- that 's funny , carly . carly : what if you died and i was n't here ? jason : i did n't -- i did n't die . and you 're still not saying what you came in to say . what is it ? carly : that 's why i was banned . sam does n't want me to say it . luke : `` i loved my daughter very much . she was my pride and joy , my greatest gift . i hope she knew , even if i did n't say it enough or find the right ways to express it . i like to think she did . robin was very intuitive , wise beyond her years , and , fortunately for me , had a great capacity to forgive . `` [ paper rustles ] would anyone else care to speak ? then we will say our final -- patrick : wait . i 've discovered gold . patrick : [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] i - i ca n't believe i 'm here . [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] i do n't think there 's anything i can say about robin that -- [ sniffles ] that you all have n't already said or that you do n't know . and i think that 's pretty amazing . she was strong . she was brilliant . you know , i thought my life was complete , and then this -- beautiful but bossy little thing came into my life , and -- she changed it all . when i met her , a world opened up to me that -- that i did n't know , a - a world that -- people mattered . family mattered . and love and -- the future mattered . she taught me compassion and perseverance , and she -- she taught me that it -- it was n't enough just to be great -- that you had to care . and she cared so much about her family and her co - workers and her friends -- and i feel so lucky because she cared about me . she loved me so much . and she loved being a mom . and she loved our little daughter . robin -- she taught me and she showed me how to dream . she -- she made me feel that it was possible -- if you had love , anything was possible . sonny : so , about the text last night . i dropped everything , came running over here . there was n't even a note . kate : i 'm sorry about that , sonny . sonny : no , i do n't -- i do n't want you to apologize . i 'm just curious . ewen : in rare instances , when a person is unable to cope with stressful or traumatic situations , they subconsciously call upon another part of themselves . we call this `` dissociative identity disorder . `` sonny : kate . why did you need to see me ? ewen : you did tell me to show myself . sam : to -- to show yourself . i know . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to barge in here like this . i - i understand this is for hospital staff only . ewen : no harm , no foul . sam : [ sighs ] have you seen carly jacks ? ewen : carly jacks ? sam : yeah , she 's tall , blond , 30s , really annoying , blue eyes . ewen : i believe that 's her picture right here . sam : where ? yep . uh - huh . that 's her . ewen : and you thought she 'd be in here because ? sam : um , well , because i thought maybe she 'd be changing into some hospital- staff clothes . my -- my husband is down the hall , recovering in a room . ewen : i see . sam : well , she -- she 's not the other woman or anything . it 's not like that . i mean , she is kind of , like , sort of like the other woman . i mean , she 'd love to jump in bed with my husband . i mean , she would never say no . carly would do just about anything to take my place in jason 's life . jason : are you in some kind of trouble ? carly : no . jason : i - is michael ? carly : he 's fine . he 's fine . jason : okay . then wh - why are you having such a hard time with this ? carly : you know there 's nothing i would n't do for you . jason : i - it 's not about you and me . this is about me and sam . carly : sam -- sam -- i know ! she 's your wife , okay ? i get that , and i respect it . i would just like sam to respect my place as your friend , okay ? jason : carly , do we really have to -- carly : this is not about putting you in the middle , okay , jason ? that 's not what i 'm trying to do here . jason : okay . just i need you to understand something . this whole thing with franco has been really , really tough on sam . carly : this is tough on me ! you 're -- you 're sick , and -- and i 'm banned ! i ca n't get into your room all because sam knows best ? ! jason : sam thought i was gon na die . carly : so did i ! [ sighs ] jason : okay , listen , it 's not -- it 's not fair that sam would n't let you in to see me . but if it made sam feel like she was just in a little more control , then i 'm grateful that you went along with it . carly : [ voice breaking ] you 're thanking me for not sneaking in sooner ? jason : nobody was gon na stop you . carly : [ chuckles ] jason : and the fact that it took you this long and sam felt better -- i - i - i do appreciate it . carly : it 's just so sweet the way you want to take care of sam . it just makes what i have to tell you even harder . patrick : with robin , everything was just -- everything was better . everything -- everything was more special and -- [ voice breaking ] i just -- i do n't know how -- i -- matt : hey . hey . hey . hey . patrick : i 'm sorry . matt : it 's okay . it 's all right . do n't worry about it . you all right ? patrick : [ sniffles ] yeah . matt : come on . take a seat . if no one else has anything they 'd like to say , we can -- maxie : i do . i have something i 'd like to say . luke : this does n't look good . anna : is she all right ? mac : i do n't know , but i hope this helps her . welcome . we were all just sharing our thoughts about robin . lulu : why did n't she change ? spinelli : at least she 's here . lulu : i just hope she does n't make it worse . kate : sonny , would n't you rather talk about robin ? i mean , you two were so close . and with the arrest and arraignment , you 've barely had any time to grieve . sonny : you 're right . have i thanked you enough for being at the church ? it just was very important for me to pay my respects , you know , even though i - i was the last person patrick wanted to see . kate : i know that . sonny : i just wish that i was a - a better speaker , 'cause i wanted everybody to know how courageous robin was . can you imagine a girl in high school -- having to hold a person 's hand while he dies ? i do n't feel like i put that across -- what that meant for me . kate : you did . sonny : y - you have no idea how bad i screwed up , how far out of control i was last summer . and not -- and not only did i -- did i -- did i lose my friendship with robin -- but that i could -- that i could make people think that i 'm the kind of guy that would -- would cause an accident and kill a - a man and a little girl and run from it ? kate : you 're not . sonny : i do n't have many people on my side right now , and i do n't know where i would be if -- if -- if you were n't with me . i 'm not gon na lose you . sam : so , if you see carly , can you please call security and , um , maybe sit her down and try and talk some sense into her ? because she needs professional help . her attachment to my husband is just not normal . ewen : oh , normal 's overrated . sam : yes , doctor , i realize you think that we are all very unique and special , but her obsession with my husband is just , uh , out of touch with reality . ewen : whose ? sam : jason 's . he 's married . ewen : which , to you , means he has to sever all his friendships ? sam : no . ewen : just this one ? sam : no . not -- not sever . there 's just boundaries that you have to respect . ewen : and who sets these boundaries -- you ? your husband ? sam : well , we kind of both did . i mean , b - before we got married , we sat her down and we let her know that things had to change . she could n't just come barging in our life anymore . ewen : well , i take it she 's crossed the line ? sam : [ scoffs ] yes . i mean , she 's crossed several lines . it 's always about carly . i mean , she stakes her claim on my husband . it 's -- it 's like -- it 's -- i mean , i 'm the one that he 's married to , and she comes first , and i might as well just take a number . ewen : [ clears throat ] and your husband , what does -- what does he feel about this ? sam : does n't matter . carly does n't take `` no `` for an answer . ewen : is it possible that your husband 's boundaries are somehow different than yours ? sam : my husband is n't well , and he is sitting in a hospital room , and i am afraid if carly gets to him , she could kill him . carly : i - i get that sam is pregnant and -- and she 's hormonal and maybe a little insecure . i understand that . i 'm not trying to make this worse , okay ? jason : then m - maybe you can just back off a little and -- and let sam think that she 's the one in charge for -- carly : you want sam to make decisions for you ? jason : well , it 's not like she had a choice , carly . i was unconscious . carly : what about when you were n't ? i mean , do you want her making decisions for you then ? jason : w - where are -- where are you going with this ? carly : sam has n't been honest with you . spinelli : maxie needs to grieve in her own way . lulu : not if she does something she 'll regret it . excuse me . hey , um , matt and i saved you a seat . i think it would be good for you -- maxie : i - i need to say something . lulu : uh , father coates was about to start the service . matt : yeah , i - i think it 'd be best if you just had a seat . if you 'd like , take a moment to compose yourself . we 'll continue with the service . i 'll give you a chance to speak later . maxie : i - i have to say something . now . i 've had surgery , and yes , i have occasional constipation . maxie : i 'm sorry i 'm late . i almost did n't come , but then someone told me that i 'd hate myself forever if i did n't say goodbye . lulu : so far , so good . maxie : what no one understands is that i already hate myself for what i did to robin , and you 're all going to hate me , too . kate : i 'm not going anywhere . all right ? sonny : yeah . i - i just want you to know you can be honest with me about anything . kate : i know that . sonny : and if you want to tell me anything about the text -- kate : it was nothing . the text was nothing . sonny : you seeing -- you seeing another guy ? kate : no . of course not . sonny : then who is , uh , ewen keenan ? ewen : you think that carly 's connection to your husband is somehow going to cause her to turn violent ? sam : no . ewen : but you said she was going to kill him . sam : but telling him something . ewen : i 'm a big believer in the power of words , but that 's a stretch . sam : no , my -- my husband had a cerebral edema , and any upset or emotional stress could have caused a fatal seizure . ewen : no wonder you 're so protective . sam : see [ sighs ] the doctors were working on this special drug protocol , and -- something happened , something bad happened , and i did n't -- i did n't tell my husband when i knew he would have wanted to know . ewen : a lie of omission . sam : only because i wanted to save his life . jason : what do you mean , sam has n't been honest ? carly : there are some things she has n't told you . jason : uh , okay , like -- like what ? about my condition ? carly : no . jason : what ? carly : i do n't know . i do n't think she trusts you , per se . jason : okay , you know what ? do n't -- do n't make sam the bad guy . i had two seizures that last day . robin said any stress would kill me if -- if she -- carly : sam has been lying to you for days , since before patrick performed the procedure . and i get that sam 's scared . hell , we 're all scared , but it 's over , and sam ca n't keep treating you this way . jason : what -- what did sam lie about ? carly : robin . mac : you do n't have to do this . maxie : yes , i do . mac , please , just sit down . sit down , mac . i need to -- to say this . please . it 's my fault because i was with robin in the lab that night before the explosion . i needed her . it does n't matter why . th - the point is , robin was working , but i was too focused on myself and my stupid problems to notice , because that 's me -- selfish . [ voice breaking ] robin is -- was -- the most generous , patient , kindest person on the planet . and i wanted her to drop everything and focus on me . and it did n't matter that she was busy trying to save jason 's life . maxie : i wanted robin to come with me to a party . that was my big emergency -- a party . robin was busy saving a life , and when she turned me down , i got mad and i called her selfish . i wanted robin to defend me and to fix my problems , and i wanted her to pay attention to me instead of the person who really needed her . spinelli : okay , maxie , look , please stop , okay ? y - you 're being too hard on yourself . maxie : you do n't know , spinelli . you were n't there ! spinelli : i 'm sure dr. robin understood . however ill - considered , your demand for attention w - was momentary , not the total sum of your relationship . maxie : you 're wrong , spinelli . what happened that night is exactly who i am . kate : dr. keenan is my doctor . sonny : a - are you sick ? is that what your text -- kate : i 'm not sick . sonny , you 're making more of this than it is . i am sorry that i was n't here , that i texted you . i got busy and distracted . sonny : so , what does he do ? what 's his specialty ? kate : he 's a psychiatrist . sonny : you got a psychiatrist in chicago . kate : i need one here . sonny : oh . kate : i - i do n't want -- want to have to fly across to chicago every time i need to talk to someone about my problems . sonny : talk to someone about me because you 're not over me getting shot ? are you having second thoughts ? kate : no . sonny : then why are you so tense ? kate : because you make me nervous when you ask me all these questions ! sonny : i just never heard of this guy . where did you find him ? sam : carly wants to tell jason that robin is dead , and she does n't care what it 's gon na do to him , that it could possibly kill him . ewen : is he still in critical condition ? sam : well , i mean , he 's better , but i - i do n't want to do anything until his doctor tells me that he 's strong enough . and carly does n't want to wait . and here i go . i 'm unloading everything on you . i 'm sorry . ewen : come on . come on . what you 've been through with your husband -- his illness -- is terrifying . it 's understandable that you 're scared . but it does n't necessarily mean that he 's still at risk . sam : yeah , well , jason is n't the best judge of what he can handle . so , until i know he 's well enough , i 've got to make these decisions . and i have to find carly before it 's too late . jason : i do n't -- i do n't want to fight about robin . carly : i do n't , either . jason : okay , whatever you think of her , carly , she saved my life . carly : i know . and i will always be grateful . it 's really hard when someone gives you a gift and you can never repay them . i mean , you ca n't comfortably despise them , and you 're sitting there reconsidering all the horrible things you thought about them and all the assumptions you made , like that you were always right and they were always wrong , and then all of a sudden , you see the good that everyone -- jason : did -- did something happen to robin ? carly : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . jason : what ? what ? ! carly : robin 's dead . spinelli : okay , with all due respect to your pain , i - i 'm sure everyone here has -- has replayed those final moments that they -- they had with robin and -- and -- and regrets not telling her how much she meant to them . robin was an exceptional person a - and brilliant , caring , and unfailingly generous . and -- and i 'm sure everyone wishes that they made a point to thank her for her friendship . but it is a mistake to think that robin was unaware of your feelings or that she resented your final words . robin knew the best of you , maxie . that 's what she treasured about you . maxie : well , she should n't have , because i did n't deserve it . spinelli : i - i think robin would disagree . maxie : robin 's dead , spinelli ! she ca n't do anything else for anyone anymore because of me . i killed robin . | spinelli tries to convince maxie to go to robin 's funeral . she refuses . robin 's family and friends gather to remember her . sonny says a few words and leaves because his presence makes patrick uncomfortable . luke reads a letter from robert in his absence . patrick breaks down in tears while he is trying to speak . maxie comes in at the last minute and says she would like to say something . she says she hates herself for what she did to robin and they are all going to hate her too . spinelli stands up and tells maxie that robin cherished the best in her and that he knows she did n't hold whatever she said in their final moments together against her . maxie says robin would disagree because she is dead because of her . she says she killed robin . |
dillon : and i 've got the champagne . maxie : it is too soon to celebrate . dillon : well , i totally disagree . i think that this real - women issue is gon na be a classic . maxie : yeah , i hope so . dillon : what do you mean you hope so ? maxie , we worked so hard on this issue . the cover is both provocative and timeless . what could possibly go wrong ? maxie : pretty sure we thought the same thing about the `` green `` issue . dillon : that was an honest mistake , but lightning does not strike twice in the same place . maxie : maybe so . but do you know what i saw when i opened my computer this morning ? you know what my calendar said to me first thing ? you know what today is , right ? dillon : should i ? maxie : today is march 15th . come on , dillon . you know what the bible says about march 15th . `` beware the ides of march . `` [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] epiphany : damn right , i 'm excited . i never been a model before in a magazine . yes . my shift is gon na end soon . i 'll clock out , i 'll come home , and the celebrations will begin .

[ scene_break ] kristina : i know that an independent study project might sound unusual , but it 's pretty straightforward . sonny : what 's it about ? kristina : i told you . sonny : ah . kristina : uh , it 's sex and power in shakespeare 's history plays . sonny : yeah , okay , but what does that all mean ? kristina : it means that , um , characters are all either seeking power or are burdened with it . [ sighs ] sonny : oh ? kristina : hearts are broken , lives are destroyed , sons are burdened with their father 's expectations , which reminds me -- not to sound insensitive -- but how is morgan ? sonny : um , h - he was pretty low when i went to see him , but kiki is doing better and cheered him up , you know ? [ sighs ] kristina : it must be really hard for you to watch him go through that , especially since ... i mean , you know exactly what he 's dealing with . sonny : yeah , i mean , i just -- i hope he can see the big picture that because i beat it that he can beat it . and i hated sending him away , but he 's in good hands , and he needs to know that people just want to take care of him and that 's an important thing . kristina : of course . sonny : just like i want to take care of you . kristina : [ chuckles ] i 'm fine . [ laughs ] sonny : let 's -- let 's go over here again . have a seat . i do n't know how many hints i can drop .

[ chuckling ] can you just tell me what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] molly : the hearing is all over social media , and most of the posts i 've seen support you and olivia completely . alexis : really ? molly : yeah . alexis : you know , i 'm really , really glad to hear that , because i was -- i was concerned that the suit would come across as frivolous because , you know , the law already exists . women can legally breastfeed in public , but this is about enforcing that , all right ? i 'm really glad women can see that that 's important . julian : uh , hello . it 's not just women . after all , i did put you on the front page of my newspaper , thank you very much . alexis : right when crimson hits the stand , latest issue , olivia breastfeeding leo , right ? wait till lomax gets a load of that . julian : mm . [ scene_break ] dillon : thank you for ... letting me vent . maxie : please . you are way more calm than i would be in this situation . besides , we do n't have anything else to do aside from , uh , worrying about the new issue . dillon : ah , relax . the real - women 's issue is going to be great . maxie : [ scoffs ] dillon , you shot the main feature . you 're not exactly objective . dillon : wait , are you worried because you 're one of the models ? maxie : i do n't want it to look gratuitous . i 'm part of the editorial staff , and i 'm featured in the magazine ? that is not exactly low - key . dillon : yeah , but you are a working woman who photographed beautifully . maxie : you are the photographer . you have to say that . although , i do think people are gon na love the cover with olivia and the pictures of epiphany and bobbie and anna . take this . dillon : exactly , so why do you look like a nervous wreck ? maxie : [ sighs ] i 'm just worried about something that the printer said to me earlier this week . he asked me if we wanted this issue printed green again . like , last time it was a choice and not a mistake . dillon : nina went ballistic on him last time . i 'm sure he 's just , you know , making sure that this issue is perfect . maxie : maybe you 're right . but seeing `` ides of march `` on my calendar this morning -- it just kind of feels like a bad omen . dillon : stop borrowing trouble , maxie . maxie : [ sighs ] dillon : the real - women issue is going to be great , okay ? the green issue put us on the map . this one is gon na bring us to the next level . [ cell phone chimes ] maxie : the messenger is here ! he 's coming up . the new issue has arrived ! [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] franco : jake is a client . he called me because he was bummed out . nina : so you make house calls now to another state ? franco : i do n't know why you 're so upset . nina : okay , i 'll tell you why i 'm upset . we had the conversation the other day about children . i want to have a child , and you insisted , yet again , that you would be a horrible father . anyway , i came here , because i wanted to make peace with you , and i find out that you went to philadelphia to -- to visit ... elizabeth ... and one of her boys . you did n't call me . i did n't receive a text from you . you did n't even talk about it when you came back . we 're allegedly in an adult relationship . franco : why would you say `` allegedly `` ? nina : because when two people live together and they 're in a relationship , they -- they tell each other things , especially about going out of town . franco : i - i did n't go out of town . i just spontaneously took a day trip to philadelphia . nina : okay . listen , you do art therapy with jake . that 's all you do . why does he have your number ? franco : because i gave it to him . the kid 's having a hard time . there 's a lot of tension between jason and elizabeth . nina : and that 's your job to fix it ? franco : look , the kid likes to talk to me . he ca n't talk to anybody else . a - and the kid fell off his bicycle , because he was hit by a car . i feel like he 's got to get back up on that bike , so i go down to philadelphia , and i get the kid a bike , and i -- and i deliver it in person . nina : wow , elizabeth must have been really excited to see you walk in with a bike . franco : oh , all right , nina . hold on a second , all right ? you have zero to be jealous about ... nina : a bicycle -- franco : ... when it comes to elizabeth , all right ? i like her . i do . and i think it 's really actually pretty cool that i actually have a friend , but that 's it . that 's all she is to me , nina , is a friend . [ scene_break ] epiphany : what about you and franco ? elizabeth : there is n't . a - at least not on my end . epiphany : he traveled all the way to philadelphia to see you . elizabeth : no , to see jake . and i have told franco several times that i appreciate his help with my son but that we are not friends . epiphany : apparently , franco did n't get the memo , and neither did nina . i 'd be careful if i were you . the last thing that you want to do is get caught between those two wackadoos . [ scene_break ] franco : elizabeth and i are not a thing , okay ? i felt a little connection with her when she found out that she was the town pariah because i know how that feels , so i tried to help her out , but that 's all . nina : wow . franco : `` wow `` ? what is `` wow `` ? nina : i never assumed that you and elizabeth were a thing -- until now . franco : why are you so mad at me ?

[ scene_break ] kristina : it 's not unusual for students to become friends with their professors . college is n't like everyday life . sonny : i understand that , but it just -- kristina : but nothing , dad . you do n't need to worry about me . besides , do n't you have your hands full with morgan anyway ? sonny : it does n't mean that i do n't have enough time to spend with you . kristina : i - i know , but right now i need to get to the courthouse to wish mom luck , because today is olivia 's hearing for the case against the mayor . sonny : so tell your mom and olivia that i wish them luck , and my offer still stands -- that if you 're -- it 's crowded over at julian 's , that you can come here . you 're welcome . kristina : thanks , dad . sonny : and , if you come see me more , you 're gon na get more comfortable , and then you 'll tell me what this secret is . kristina : good to know , dad . i will keep that in mind .

[ scene_break ] kristina : mom 's got her hands full with the big case , and my dad 's got his hands full with morgan . and nobody needs to be worried about my problems . molly : okay , well , mom is totally suspicious about your `` independent studies . `` kristina : so is my dad . he 's been pressuring me non - stop just now . molly : because they know there 's something you 're not telling them . so , at the very least , you need to tell them you were kicked out of school . kristina : if i do that , then i 'll have to explain why i was kicked out . molly : so , it is about parker . kristina : and that means that i 'll have to explain about the thing that happened between us . molly : you mean , offering sex for a higher grade . kristina : [ sighs ] they 're totally going to freak out . molly : mom wo n't be happy that you tried to cheat , but she loves you . she 'll understand . kristina : and what about my dad -- my macho , mob - boss dad ? molly : i do n't think you 're being fair to uncle sonny . he loves his kids no matter what . and besides , he 's a gangster , so he 's not exactly in the position to be judging other people 's lifestyles . how do you know he wo n't be totally happy for you to be gay ? kristina : because i 'm not even sure if i 'm really gay . what if parker was just , like , a one - time thing ? molly : then , that 's what you tell them . you 're figuring things out . kristina : molly , i 've been with plenty of men , and parker is the only woman that i 've ever had feelings for . molly : okay , so , you say that you do n't like labels and your sexuality is fluid . kristina : i just need to figure it out for myself before i can explain it to anyone else . alexis : explain what , kristina ? [ scene_break ] julian : well , this is a shame . i was looking forward to this issue . my son is on the cover , not to mention alexis was counting on the publicity from olivia 's photo shoot to garner public support for her lawsuit against the city . nina : okay , well , then , i do n't understand . why wo n't you pay for a do - over ? julian : because we do n't have the money to spare . print publications are limping along . we did n't get a boost from online subscriptions like i was hoping . i mean , people are just clicking off the ads . i 'm sorry , nina , but we 're just not swimming in the money like you think we are . look , if anyone can salvage this , it 's you . look what you did with the green issue . you took a disaster and ... [ sighs ] you turned it into something winning . so i have all the faith in the world that you can do this again . nina : i ca n't ... i ca n't fix this . maxie : hey , you will think of something . remember how you fixed the green issue ? what was it that you said ? we have to embrace the suck -- again .

[ clattering ] elizabeth : where did you get that ? franco : it was on top of the lockers . elizabeth : well , this is none of your business . franco : yeah , well , it kind of is , okay ? 'cause it 's a very unsettling story . and the -- the ending is downright disturbing . elizabeth : helena cassadine left this book to me in her will as one more way to taunt me with what happened to jake while he was living with her . franco : okay , but -- elizabeth : just let me keep my book . franco : okay , the last page of that book is an old lady who tells a kid , whose name happens to be jake , that he should never forget and never tell . now you tell me something , okay ? as his mother ... do n't you want to know what that is ? [ scene_break ] sam : okay , well , that 's definitely not a bed . jason : could be a little bed . sam : [ chuckling ] no it 's not . jason : uh ... no , i saw some photographs in the store . i like them . i bought them . i had them re - framed . sam : really ? jason : mm - hmm . sam : can we open them ? i 'm curious to see what you got . you were never really into decorating . i think the biggest piece of furniture you ever had was the pool table . jason : i 'm still not into decorating . sam : you 're not ? jason : sure . go ahead . i saw these , and , uh , i do n't know . they just kind of drew me in , you know ? hm ? sam : wait a minute . jason : what 's up ? sam : it ca n't it be . i do n't know . hold on a second . where did you get these ? [ scene_break ] franco : elizabeth , you ca n't run away from me , and you definitely ca n't run away from whatever 's in that book . elizabeth : do n't you think i know that ? do you think i slept last night wondering what this book means ? wondering what helena wants jake to keep secret ? what she did to my little boy ? franco : i do n't know what jake 's secret is , but ... please , let me help him with it . i understand this kid . and whether you like it or not , your little boy trusts me . when he did n't want to get on a bicycle , he called me , all right ? please , let me do this . do n't take jake out of my care -- not now , not when he so clearly has something that he 's hiding . and i promise you , all right ? it wo n't have anything to do with you and me . it 'll only -- it 'll only just be about jake . elizabeth : okay . okay , will you please help him ?

[ scene_break ] judge rawles : dr. maddox , what did you learn in your session with charlotte cassadine ? andré : charlotte is a bright , inquisitive , and well - adjusted little girl . despite the upheaval she 's endured in the past few months , she shows no signs of a clinical depression or an abandonment disorder . judge rawles : and in the matter of who would best serve as charlotte 's custodial parent ? andré : your honor , charlotte suffered a severe loss when claudette beaulieu , the woman she thought of as her mother , died . that loss was compounded when charlotte learned that claudette was n't her mother at all . this has caused charlotte to cling to her father and reject the very idea that lulu falconeri is her mother . lulu : this is bad . this is very bad . andré : however , i feel to indulge charlotte 's present rejection of ms. falconeri will not serve her in the future . when she gets older and learns the circumstances of her birth , she will most certainly want to know her mother and feel cheated by her father if she is not provided with that opportunity . while she has a loving relationship with her stepmother , she is aware that nina is not her mother . i feel that charlotte would benefit from developing a relationship with her mother , ms. lulu falconeri . judge rawles : dr. maddox , how is charlotte affected by her relationship with her father ? andré : charlotte clearly loves valentin very much . he has been the only constant in her life . as such , she relies on him for her sense of well - being and stability . i am convinced that if charlotte were to be removed from her current home , this would further traumatize her . it is , therefore , my opinion that it is in the best interest of charlotte to remain in the custody of her father , valentin cassadine . [ scene_break ] sam : do you really think this letter is going to be able to explain everything that julian 's done ? that there 's gon na be some sort of excuse in there for his behavior over the past year ? mom , he tried to kill you . he tore this family apart . alexis : you saw how deranged his sister was . sam : [ scoffs ] alexis : what makes you think she was n't threatening him in some way ? sam : i understand you want to give him the benefit of the doubt -- i do . but do you remember olivia being in the house when julian found that wire ? do you remember olivia being down on the pier when he held a knife to your throat ? i get that you 're grateful to him for saving your life on that bridge , but , mom , how many different ways is he gon na have to hurt you ? alexis : what if he was being coerced ? what if he was being threatened ? do n't you want to know that ? sam : no ! i do n't care why he did the things that he did . all that matters is that he did them . alexis : well , i do n't know if i agree with that . the only way to find out the truth is to read the letter . [ scene_break ] franco : favorite food when you were 4 ? jake : spaghetti and meatballs . franco : oh , yeah . nice . jake : what was yours ? franco : peanut - butter - and - pickle sandwiches . jake : ew . franco : no , do n't you dare . no , do n't knock it till you tried it . it 's awesome ! it 's all about the ratio . jake : i 'm never trying that . franco : that 's too bad 'cause that 's what 's for lunch . jake : no way . franco : fine . jake : gross . franco : more for me . okay , favorite thing to do when you were 4 . jake : going down the big slide in the park . franco : really ? cool . draw that . did you like to go sliding after you were 4 ? jake : sometimes . franco : when ? jake : it was last year .

[ scene_break ] judge rawles : is it your professional recommendation that charlotte remain with valentin cassadine ? andré : yes . but there is a condition -- while charlotte clearly feels more comfortable with her father , i believe she would benefit greatly from building a relationship with ms. falconeri . i recommend supervised visitation . lulu : `` supervised `` ? andré : yes . considering the unintentional missteps since charlotte and ms. falconeri were introduced , i believe it is imperative that charlotte get to know both her biological mother and her stepfather and brother in an environment where she feels safe . this will provide a smoother transition for charlotte and allow her to form a relationship with ms. falconeri without feeling that said relationship will affect her bond with her father . judge rawles : thank you , dr. maddox . you may step down . now that i 've heard testimony of all parties involved , as well as an expert witness , the court would like to take a brief recess while i consider my decision regarding charlotte 's custody . court is adjourned . [ bangs gavel ] [ scene_break ] nora : i do n't think we could have asked for anything better . i mean , i 'm not one to count my chickens , but i have a very good feeling . nina : i know . i do , too . i think that dr. maddox clearly thinks that charlotte belongs with us . lulu : excuse me . how could you testify that valentin would make a good parent to charlotte ? do you have any idea what that man has done ? he -- he murdered my brother . he killed my brother , so that he could inherit the cassadine fortune . andré : ms. falconeri , i was charged by the court to assess charlotte 's state of mind , not judge her father 's actions . lulu : so they just do n't matter ? you 're okay with sending that little girl home with a murderer ? andré : i gave the recommendation that i believe is in charlotte 's best interests . dante : so you think it 's in her best interests to keep her apart from her mother ? andré : i gave my professional opinion , and i stand by it . if you have a problem with my testimony , you need to talk to judge rawles . diane : bear in mind , the judge is going to take much more into account than just maddox 's testimony . you 've got numerous affidavits in your favor . you 've got the social worker 's report on your home . and even maddox said he thinks that charlotte needs a relationship with her mother . bailiff : will you all take your seats ? diane : yes . judge rawles : i am ready to render my decision . [ scene_break ] sam : well , you 're gon na have to do what you think is right . and i 'm sure there will be some sort of explanation in julian 's letter . but , mom , do me a favor -- please do n't romanticize him . he never , ever had a problem lying to you if it meant that you would think more of him . and i 'm sure this letter 's just the same .
