### Dialogue:
Wyatt : [ Laughing ] We did it !
Steffy : We re -- we re married ! [ Sighs ]
Caroline : Hello ? [ Chuckles ]
Steffy : Hi . Oh , my God . Let me help you .
Caroline : Oh .
Steffy : Oh !
Caroline : I will take the help . Thank you .
Steffy : I got this .
Caroline : Wow . Not even my husband gets that caught up in work .
Steffy : Heh , yeah . Wish I was thinking about work .
Caroline : Uh - oh . What s going on ?
Steffy : Oh , nothing . Um , actually , uh , I m gon na head over to , uh , Spencer to see Wyatt .
Caroline : Please . I love this little nugget , but I really need , like , grown - up time and grown - up talk . Unless it s , like , family stuff , like , your dad , then ...
Steffy : Oh , no . My family , I can handle . Yours is a different story .
Bill : We re all Spencers here .
Wyatt : Yeah , you do nt have to tell us what that means , Liam .
Bill : Or did nt I make that clear at the last family meeting ? Loyalty . Commitment . I m counting on you to respect your brother s marriage and put your family first .
Liam : Yeah , I -- you do nt have to remind me of that .
Bill : Good .
Liam : Good . Okay . I was actually talking about the company . [ Clears throat ] The Spencer name carries with it a lot of power , yes ? Okay , what are we doing with it ? I think it s time we re - evaluate our position . I think it s time we ask ourselves , What is our role ?
Ridge : Hey . No meetings today ?
Thomas : No . No , I needed a swim . I sent you a text .
Ridge : Yeah , I got it . That s why I m here . You want to discuss something .
Thomas : Yeah .
Ridge : And we could nt do that at the office ?
Thomas : No , it s better we do it here . It s about Douglas .
Ridge : Douglas is fine . No need to worry about him .
Thomas : Wait , would you -- Would you at least hear me out for a second ? I just did a mile in the pool trying to sort this whole thing out .
Ridge : Sort what out ?
Thomas : The situation with Douglas .
Ridge : It is sorted .
Thomas : But I -- and , sure , I m trying to accept that --
Ridge : And I m very proud of you . We re all living here together . We re making it work . What am I missing ?
Thomas : I ca nt do this anymore .
Steffy : Ohh , are nt you a little troublemaker ?
Caroline : [ Laughs ] No . He s a perfect little angel . So , what s going on ? Is my uncle making you regret becoming a Spencer already ?
Steffy : No , Bill s actually been really supportive . I mean , for Bill .
Caroline : You mentioned my family .
Steffy : Yeah , you know what , I do nt -- I do nt think we should be really talking about it .
Caroline : Oh , well now you have to . Come on . Out with it . How s it really going with Wyatt and Liam ?
Liam : Spencer Publications has a reputation for success . That s great . But I think we could play a bigger role .
Wyatt : [ Laughs ] Bigger than what ? We already are one of the biggest names out there .
Liam : Well , maybe we need a bigger stage .
Bill : I appreciate your enthusiasm , Liam . But as I have continually explained to your brother , I m all for expansion , obviously , but you have to understand that there is risk associated with it , and it is expensive .
Wyatt : Yeah , but not if we do our research . Come on , Dad . [ Scoffs ] Even Liam knows we have to -- to expand , right ? We need to diversify our revenue system --
Liam : Actually -- Actually , I was thinking we could use Spencer s power and resources to make a difference in the world .
Thomas : I understand the situation , Dad . You do nt have to keep explaining it to me . And I m telling you , I ca nt keep lying about this . And I do nt think that you can , either .
Ridge : I am focused on raising my son .
Thomas : No , no . My son .
Ridge : Paternity s not the question here , Thomas . It ca nt be .
Thomas : Bill , Katie , Brooke , they -- they already know the truth .
Ridge : And they agreed to keep quiet about it .
Thomas : Somebody will eventually slip up . If not , Bill will use it as leverage against our family .
Ridge : No .
Thomas : We ca nt keep hiding it , okay ? We can -- we can control how this comes out , and if we do nt , it will be a scandal . And just like you , I do nt want to see Caroline or Douglas dragged through that .
Ridge : Why are we having this conversation ? We re saying the same thing . It s the right thing to do .
Thomas : I do nt think this is the right thing to do .
Ridge : Thomas ! [ Sighs ] I know this is complicated . It s very difficult . But we have an agreement .
Thomas : No , Dad . We do nt .
Caroline : [ Sighs ] So , where were we ?
Steffy : You think that you have everything planned out , your whole life figured out , and then just -- wham !
Caroline : Yeah . Wham .
Steffy : Yeah . I get blindsided .
Caroline : [ Sighs ] I hear you . It s stressful .
Steffy : And I know I could have this incredible future with Wyatt . That has nt changed . He s a wonderful husband .
Caroline : But Liam is , too .
Steffy : I hope he knows that . How much I appreciate him . Everything we meant to each other .
Caroline : Well , it s time for him to move on , and I think he s ready to do that . Oh , maybe there s more to it ?
Steffy : Oh , come on . There s always more to it when it comes to Spencers and Forresters , is nt there ?
Caroline : [ Groans ] Yes . We are a , uh ... A complicated bunch .
Steffy : Yeah , yeah .
Caroline : [ Laughs ]
Steffy : I think Spencers are worse .
Caroline : I do nt know about all that , now . [ Chuckles ]
Steffy : Yeah , you know what , I think you have some stories . Living in a house with all those Forrester men .
Caroline : Oh , girl . You think you have a lot of testosterone to deal with ... It -- phew .
Steffy : [ Laughs ]
Liam : We are staring at the horizon of a new era . Spencer s doing better than it ever has , right ?
Wyatt : Profits are good , projections are up .
Bill : Future could nt be more solid .
Wyatt : Yeah , and that does nt mean that we should sit back and relax . That means we should take that success and grow and expand more .
Liam : Yeah . Eh . Or we could actually create a meaningful change in the world . Just hear me out . I - I would like to take a significant percentage of all future profits and gift them to our foundation .
Wyatt : Wait a minute . I did nt even know we had a foundation .
Liam : Fine , then we ll have to start one .
Wyatt : [ Scoffs ]
Bill : Liam , Spencer Publications is nt a charity . I worked for everything I have , and do nt believe in handouts .
Liam : It s not a handout , Dad . When you donate a portion of your profits , it means , A , significant tax benefits , and , B -- you know this -- a huge P.R. boost .
Wyatt : [ Chuckles ]
Bill : I did nt create this empire , turn it into what it is today so we could flush our profits down the toilet .
Liam : Okay , it s not -- Okay , if we -- If we give grants to organizations , legitimate organizations , that tackle some of the biggest issues we re facing today , do you know what that is ? That is Spencer Publications showing global leadership .
Wyatt : We already do that every day .
Liam : No , we do nt . No , we do nt . There s a difference between leadership and dominance .
Bill : One , I like dominance . Dominance is good . Two , it s not our job to save the world .
Liam : Okay . What if we could , though ? Or at least try ? Dad . Dad , you could make a real impact here . You -- you could leave behind a legacy far greater than anything you ve thus far imagined .
Wyatt : Yeah , as long as we forget that we re in the business of making money . I mean ...
Liam : Yes , Wyatt . And there s a right way to do that -- by giving back and being conscious of what you re putting out there . Look , a lot of what we do has value . I m not denying that . But there are exceptions . I mean , we have -- we have magazines that do nothing but gossip and hearsay and shock value . It s clickbait . It s -- it s not real journalism . There s no integrity .
Wyatt : What are you talking about , journalism and integrity ? That s -- not everybody is looking for that .
Liam : It s trash , Wyatt . It s bad for our reputation , and we should phase it out .
Wyatt : Yeah , well , that trash has gotten us a lot of advertising , Liam . And I have nt been here long enough , but I have learned enough that if you get rid of those platforms , it will affect our profit margins negatively . And I think that s the last thing we need to be doing right now .
Caroline : What happened to Liam is terrible . I mean , and no one expects for him to totally be over it yet --
Steffy : He did nt even know who he was .
Caroline : I know .
Steffy : Quinn kept him isolated that entire time . I mean , it was her sending me those horrible text messages . I thought Liam never wanted to see me again .
Caroline : And you were devastated .
Steffy : Yeah . I mean , Wyatt was there . He was understanding and supportive . Quinn manipulated all of us . But my feelings for Wyatt are real . Well , they re both incredible guys . I mean , they re so different , but ... They re really great in their own ways .
Caroline : They both think you re pretty awesome , too . Or should I have not said that ?
Steffy : No . No , no , no . No , it -- it -- No , it feels good being open and honest about everything . I mean , keeping secrets does nt solve anything .
Ridge : Whatever your concerns are , we can discuss them .
Thomas : Douglas is my son . He needs to know that . He needs to know who he is .
Ridge : What are you afraid of , Thomas ? Are you afraid he s going to resent you ? I was nt raised by my biological dad . And by the time I found out about Massimo , I did nt resent him . I almost wanted to thank him for giving me a life that I would have never had otherwise . That s how it s gon na be with us . The same .
Thomas : Except it s not the same . Granddad and Massimo did nt know about you . I do . I know about Douglas . And every day , I have to live with the fact that my father took my son from me .
Ridge : A son that was born the night that never should have happened .
Thomas : Stop . Just stop it . It was a misunderstanding was what that --
Ridge : A misunderstanding ? A misunderstanding ? That s how you justify what you did to that girl , a misunderstanding ?
Thomas : It was nt a betrayal . I was nt getting back at you for anything . Caroline needed me . You had broken her heart , and I was there when she needed it most . You can not use that night to take my son from me .
Ridge : Douglas is exactly where he needs to be .
Thomas : No , he needs his father . His real father .
Ridge : Thomas , shhh . We re family . We talked about this . We re gon na live in peace and harmony , and no one s gon na rock the boat . So take some time , go for another swim if you want , and then get back to the plan .
Thomas : No . No , I get it . You do nt like hearing that . Nobody talks back to the great and powerful Ridge Forrester . But I have to . He s my son . My son .
Liam : Why are you fighting this ? You re the salesman !
Wyatt : [ Chuckles ]
Liam : We ca nt buy the kind of publicity , the kind of buzz we would get from this .
Wyatt : Yeah , it sounds good in theory . You know , do the responsible thing , be the -- the good guys and save the world . But that s just -- that s not how business works , Liam .
Liam : Okay , see , that is the mind - set we have to change .
Bill : We do nt need to change anything , Liam , except maybe your tie . We re on top of our game right now . We had one of the best quarters we ve ever had , and I m not going to do anything to kill that .
Liam : I do nt think it would , Dad .
Wyatt : [ Scoffs ] Okay . Let s just say we do what you re suggesting here . Hey , why do nt we give away half our profits ? What about that ? And dump all of our lucrative platforms and all the people who work for them ? Now , who does that help ? Except for the competition , cause you know they re gon na pick up right where we left off .
Steffy : Alison told me to come in .
Liam : Good timing . I could use somebody on my side .
Steffy : Am I interrupting something ?
Bill : Oh , we re just having a little sharing session regarding Spencer s future .
Wyatt : Liam wants to take the company in a new direction .
Steffy : Really ?
Liam : Yeah , and my dad and Wyatt think I m naive .
Bill : Nobody said that .
Liam : Oh , really ? [ Imitating Wyatt ] Let s say we actually do everything you re suggesting .
Steffy : What are you suggesting ?
Wyatt : He wants to gift our profits to charity , and stop selling gossip because he thinks there s no redeeming value in it .
Bill : Regardless of how profitable it is .
Liam : Guys , I ran the numbers . It s not gon na set us back as much as you think . And do nt forget , there s an upside here that ca nt be measured in dollars .
Bill : All right , Liam , I have listened to you and your brother debate your individual perspectives . Now here s the deal . In business , the bottom line is , say it with me , people .
Liam : Not saying it .
Bill and Wyatt : The bottom line .
Liam : Yeah , okay , well , we have to change the way we do business , then . I want to do something different . I want to start a foundation to address all the -- all the issues facing our society today . Disease , hunger , inequality . There are -- there are a lot of great causes out there , and there are so many people that need our help .
Bill : Too many .
Liam : Dad , I m not -- I am not saying that we can solve every problem , but we can try . All right ? Spencer Publications has enough power and enough money to literally change the world .
Wyatt : Yeah , but as executives , our first priority is to our shareholders and our employees .
Liam : Oh , God .
Wyatt : As president of Forrester , I mean , you have to agree with that , right ?
Steffy : Well , Forrester hosts charity benefits . I mean , we continued Grandmother s work with the homeless .
Wyatt : Okay . We could do something like that .
Liam : No , that s -- no . That s not enough . I want to do more . I want to start thinking globally . I wan-- You know what , forget it . I ll -- I ll start my own foundation if I have to . And unlike Spencer Publications , I m happy taking zero percent .
Wyatt : [ Chuckles ]
Liam : I just [ Sighs ] I just want to make a difference , okay ? It s the only thing left making sense to me .
Wyatt : Look , and we get that , Liam . But this , this -- This is a little crazy .
Liam : What do you think , Steffy ? Am I crazy ?
Thomas : I know you love Douglas . You re married to his mother . You want to protect him . So do I.
Ridge : And keeping this secret is the only way to do it .
Thomas : I completely disagree .
Ridge : But you did agree , son .
Thomas : Well , I should nt have .
Ridge : Just give it a chance , please .
Thomas : No , I m done letting you call the shots , or pushing me around or blowing me off or trying to send me away . I am going to declare Douglas as my son .
Ridge : I m on the birth certificate . It s too late .
Thomas : It does nt matter that you re on the birth certificate . I will have it challenged . I will take it to court if I have to .
Ridge : Hey , hey , hey . Calm down , calm down . What are you doing ? You worried about Bill saying something , doing something ? What is it ?
Thomas : I ll beat him to it .
Ridge : Why would you do that ?
Thomas : Because this secret , it s -- it s too much . It s too much for all of us . It s too much for me . It s time for the truth to come out .
Ridge : It wo nt .
Caroline : Hey .
Thomas : Hey . There s my boy .
Caroline : What s going on ?
Ridge : Thomas has a problem with our arrangement .
Thomas : Douglas is my son .
Ridge : He does nt want to keep the secret anymore . He thinks I m asking too much . Well , I m not the only one asking . You were right here when Caroline was begging Bill and Brooke to let us live our life the way we want to live it . So , son , whatever s going on with you , or whatever s going on that you need to work out , we will help you through it . But the secret stays a secret .
Thomas : No . [ Sighs ] Too many people already know . The truth is bound to come out . It s inevitable . Why ca nt we just admit it ? We have to do what s right .
Ridge : We are doing what s right .
Caroline : It kills me to see you guys arguing about this . A - a baby is supposed to bring a family closer together . I mean , we -- we all love Douglas . We all want what s best for him . And I know that we re all just trying to do the right thing . And , baby , I love you so much . I love that you want to protect our family and our privacy . But Thomas is right . We just need to be honest . We need to be honest with everyone about who Douglas father really is .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Whitney : Chad , I know why you keep threatening Vincent this way .
Chad : Whitney , look , I can explain everything .
Whitney : No , you do nt have to explain , honey . You say you do nt like Vincent because he s a tabloid reporter , but that s not it . That s not it at all . This is about sex .
Chad : No , no , Whitney . Whitney , this is not what you think , ok ?
Whitney : Yes , it is , Chad . It s exactly what I think .
Jessica : Spike was right . They do nt care about me .
Spike : What did I tell you , Jess ? Your big brother and best friend . The only reason why they act like they care about you is because they have the hots for each other .
Spike : Damn , the Spikeman is good . My little wife buys everything I tell her .
Sam : Let s put out an APB on Luis .
Officer : I m on it .
Sam : There s no way he s going to escape again .
Officer : We ll get him , Chief .
Chris : Fancy , how are you so sure that Sheridan is even with Luis ?
Fancy : I just know , that s all . She left here right before Sam and the police showed up . She must have been the one who picked Luis up in her car .
Chris : I suppose I should nt be surprised that my wife is willing to put her neck on the line for Luis like this .
Fancy : I m sorry , Chris . I know it must hurt . And I m sure Sheridan loves you and James in her way . But remember , she s a Crane .
Chris : She s your aunt , Fancy . And I hate to break this to you but you re a Crane , too .
Fancy : Yes , but I was Alistair s favorite granddaughter growing up . I never saw the evil side of him . But Sheridan did . And my father was nt exactly a prize back then , either . So with a father and a brother like that setting the example , it s no wonder she s such a master manipulator .
Chris : I do nt believe that , Fancy . Sheridan is a good , caring person .
Fancy : Well , she also learned from the best how to get what she wants , when she wants it . And when Sheridan decides what she wants , she wants it now .
Sheridan : We should be safe here for a while . The family does nt usually come up here during the winter , so no one will know that we re here . I m going to go check the pantry and make sure we have supplies .
Luis : No , hold on a second . Now we need to talk about what you said in the car . Is that true ? Are you really still in love with me ?
Theresa : Dr. Russell . Is he going to be all right ?
Eve : Well , he s out of danger . But he s still a very , very sick man .
Theresa : But he s going to be ok , right ?
Eve : He should be .
Theresa : Oh , thank God . I was so scared , Jared . Hi .
Jared : Hey , Tess .
Theresa : Oh , thank God you re going to be ok . How do you feel ?
Jared : Well , seeing you , a million times better .
Theresa : Good . Dr. Russell , she said you re going to be all right .
Jared : Yeah . You did nt think I was going to die when I m about to marry the most beautiful woman in the world , did you ? Where is that Judge Reilly , anyway ? Is he still here ? We need to start up the ceremony .
Eve : Oh , Jared , I m not going to allow that . You re going to have to postpone the wedding until you re stronger .
Jared : No , postpone ? No , no , no . I m fine . I just want to get married tonight .
Eve : Honey , you just came out of surgery . You re not in any condition to do anything except sleep .
Theresa : You know what ? Actually , we could have a very short ceremony . And Jared does nt even have to get out of bed .
Eve : Maybe in a few days when your vitals are stable , you can call Judge Reilly to come back . But until I see a marked improvement in your condition -- no , there s not going to be any wedding . Not in this hospital . Do we understand each other ?
Ethan : So Jared lived through the surgery and Theresa still wants to marry him . At least Eve made them postpone the wedding , which means I still have time to convince Theresa not to marry him . And to marry me .
Whitney : I ca nt believe I did nt see it before . It is so obvious .
Chad : Whitney , listen to me . You have it all wrong .
Whitney : Chad , honey , I know what I m talking about . You re jealous .
Chad : Jealous ?
Whitney : You re jealous of Vincent , honey . You think that he s after me , or something . You think that s why we were here together .
Chad : Whitney , I -- I would never --
Whitney : Chad , Chad , honey . It s ok . I can see it , you know ? I can tell . I just do nt know why I did nt see it before . But , honey , you are so wrong . We both know who Vincent really loves . It s Valerie . Right ? I mean , that s why we re here . We were waiting for Valerie to show up . So do nt you see , honey ? It s just all one big misunderstanding . Now I think you should apologize to Vincent for the way you ve been treating him . Do nt you think ?
Whitney : Honey ?
Chad : Sorry .
Vincent : Hey , no problem . Look , it does nt look like Valerie s going to show up . So I m just going to take off .
Whitney : Ok , well , let s get together for dinner again really soon . How about that ?
Vincent : Oh , that would be great . All right , good night .
Whitney : Good night .
Vincent : Ok .
Chad : Good night . I m sorry , sweetheart .
Whitney : You know what ? It s ok . I have to say I kind of like it that you re jealous .
Chad : Well , I just do nt want to lose you .
Whitney : Oh , baby , you never will . You re the only man I ll ever love . You do nt have anything to worry about from Vincent .
Eve : Now I know you re disappointed , Theresa . But you would nt want to be responsible for Jared having a relapse now , would you ?
Theresa : No , of course not . So , listen . I m just going to call Judge Reilly and tell him that we re going to postpone the wedding , ok ?
Jared : I m sorry , Tess .
Theresa : Jared , I do nt want you to be sorry . We re going to get married later , when you re better . All right ? I will be right back .
Jared : I love her , doc . So much . And I need to marry her as soon as possible .
Eve : And you will . As soon as possible . That means when you re in perfect condition and I release you from the hospital , and not before .
Jared : Oh , come on . Have a heart here .
Eve : Have you forgotten what just happened to you ? You had a seizure at the ceremony . You came close to dying . I really do nt want to repeat that kind of drama , if you do nt mind .
Jared : All right . Ok , you win . Actually , I m kind of tired . I could use some sleep .
Eve : Now , see , sleep . That is the best thing that you could do for yourself . I m going to have the nurse come in and give you a sedative .
Jared : Ok .
Eve : Well , I m certainly glad you re starting to take doctor s orders .
Jared : Well , I hear you , doc . But I did nt say anything about taking any orders .
Theresa : Hello ? Yeah . I m by Jared s room . How did you know that ? Yeah , I know you know every move that I make . No . We ca nt get married tonight . Dr. Russell said that we ca nt . Look , um , ok , we were in the ceremony . And then he just -- he had a seizure . I do nt know . Maybe he s still recovering from the bullet wound in his chest , ok ? But right now he s in surgery . I think he s going to be ok , but Dr. Russell said we ca nt get married until he s all better . Look , I just -- I need a little bit more time to follow through with what you want me to do . I know what s at stake here . My brothers lives are in danger if I do nt follow through and marry Jared and stay away from Ethan . I will , ok ? I promise I will .
Ethan : Hi .
Theresa : Ethan .
Ethan : So I was right . You do still love me , do nt you ?
Theresa : No , I do nt .
Ethan : Theresa , I heard you on the phone just now , ok ? Someone s forcing you to marry Jared .
Theresa : You know what ? You heard wrong .
Ethan : I did nt hear wrong . I did nt hear wrong . Someone s forcing you to stay away from me and marry Jared . I want to know who , and I want to know why .
Eve : Oh , oh . I m so sorry .
Valerie : My fault .
Eve : Valerie , what is this ?
Julian : Oh , Valerie . Did you have any luck ?
Valerie : Yes , I did . It took a lot of research and a lot of patience , but I found your son .
Spike : Honey , honey , what are you carrying on about ? I mean , I told you . Did nt I ?
Jessica : You told me and I did nt listen . You were right . I m all alone .
Spike : No , no , sweetie , not alone . You got me , baby . You got me .
Jessica : Noah and Paloma said that they cared about me . That they wanted to help me . They said that they loved me .
Spike : Oh , honey . Damn , I told you not to trust them . Sweetheart , they do nt care about anyone except each other . See , maybe now you ll believe me .
Jessica : You were right .
Spike : Honey , are nt I always ? Sweetheart , listen . Nobody loves you . Nobody but me , Jess . And I hope now you realize that I m the only one that cares about you , honey . I m the only one that loves you . And , baby , you need to stick with me . You need to forget about those losers downstairs .
Paloma : What s wrong ?
Noah : Did you hear that ?
Paloma : Hear what ?
Noah : I thought I heard something . Like someone coming in .
Paloma : I did nt hear anything . Noah , your dad s at the office and your sister s upstairs sleeping . There s no one here but us .
Noah : Yeah , I guess it was just my imagination then .
Paloma : I guess it was .
Noah : Yeah .
Noah : Uh , Paloma , I -- I really care about you . But , um --
Paloma : No , no buts . Not tonight .
Chris : What are you saying , Fancy ? Sheridan is going after something that she wants . Are you implying that Luis is what she wants ?
Fancy : Yes . That s why I think she helped Luis escape . I m sorry , Chris .
Chris : I ca nt believe she did a thing like this . Jeopardize our marriage ? Risk losing James ? I mean , I knew she had feelings for Luis . I guess I just never knew how deep those feelings ran .
Fancy : I hate to be the one to tell you this . But you should take off the blinders , Chris . My aunt Sheridan is a beautiful and giving woman . But she is the worst kind of Crane . A predator , through and through .
Chris : A predator , Fancy ? Is nt this just the jealousy talking ? I mean , are nt you jealous that Sheridan and Luis had a relationship in the past ?
Fancy : All right . I admit I m jealous . But I am telling you the cold , hard facts , Chris . Sheridan ca nt help what she is . It s in her blood .
Chris : Well , then it s in your blood , too . Is nt it ?
Fancy : I suppose it is . But I do nt think I inherited that gene . The one that makes Sheridan want to have you and your son tucked away at home , but Luis still on the side .
Chris : Look , I ve confronted Sheridan about this . She denies it completely .
Fancy : Well , she s lying . That s why she keeps trying to come between me and Luis . She ca nt bear the thought of him being with me or anyone else . She wants him all to herself .
Chris : Enough , Fancy . I do nt want to hear any of this .
Fancy : Well , I do nt want to say it either . But it s true .
Ivy : Hi , Sam .
Sam : Ivy , what the hell are you doing here ?
Ivy : Well , I heard that the police had cornered Luis . And I thought that Fancy might -- might be here .
Fancy : Mother .
Ivy : Oh , Fancy , honey . Oh , thank God . Are you all right ?
Fancy : Yeah , I m fine . I m just worried sick about Luis .
Luis : Well ? Sheridan , did you mean what you said in the car ?
Sheridan : Luis , I was driving like a maniac . I was trying to get away from the police .
Luis : I know . But you said that you are still in love with me . What was that , a mistake ? What was that ?
Sheridan : I was giving up everything to be with you . I gave up my husband , my child . I was even giving up my freedom .
Luis : I know . And I wish you would go back to Harmony . You realize if you re caught with me , you re going to be arrested as my accomplice ?
Sheridan : Yes , yes . I know .
Luis : And you could go to prison ? Listen , Sheridan . I ca nt have you sacrificing everything for me , ok ?
Sheridan : Have nt I done that already ?
Luis : If you leave now , you ll have time to think of an alibi . Something to tell Chris and the police .
Sheridan : No . No , I am not going back . I am going to be arrested no matter what I say . And Chris will understand why I m here .
Luis : Understand ? You think that he ll understand ? I ll tell you something . If I was your husband , I would nt understand .
Sheridan : He ll understand because he knows how I feel .
Luis : How you feel . About me ?
Sheridan : He knows we will always have a bond because of Marty .
Luis : Oh , my God . I should have seen this one coming .
Sheridan : Seen what coming ?
Luis : Look , Sheridan , I really do appreciate you wanting to help . But I ca nt have you getting in any more trouble than you re already in , ok ? I m taking you back to Harmony .
Sheridan : No .
Luis : Now , come on . Get in the car .
Sheridan : No , no .
Luis : Sheridan !
Sheridan : I am not going anywhere .
Whitney : Well , it is getting kind of late . Maybe we should get home to Miles .
Chad : Mm - mm , not yet . We have a sitter . We hardly ever get to spend any time alone together . Let s take advantage of it .
Whitney : Ok . You re right . You know , it would be nice to spend more time alone . Just the two of us .
Chad : Mm - hmm , good .
Whitney : You know , you do nt ever have to be jealous . You re the only man that I want , honey . The only man that I love .
Chad : And you are the only woman I love .
Julian : Here we are . I m glad you could get away , Eve . I did nt want to hear what Valerie has to tell us when we were at the hospital .
Eve : Oh , I agree . You never know who could be listening .
Valerie : It s true . This is somewhat sensitive information .
Julian : So what do you have here ?
Valerie : Well , as you can see , it s a lot .
Eve : Well , I m surprised you were able to get so much information so quickly . I mean , when Julian and I were looking for our son we just kept coming up against brick walls .
Julian : Erected by my father , as it turns out .
Valerie : I m so sorry , Mr. Crane .
Julian : How did you come up with all of this ?
Valerie : I hacked into the computers at Children s Services .
Julian : Well , my programmers never had any luck getting into that system .
Valerie : Well , I called in a few favors and voila ! I found your son .
Julian : Why is so much of it blacked out ?
Eve : Is that normal ?
Valerie : It s not usual that a minor s file would be so censored . But according to my contact at state , it was done by a well meaning social worker .
Julian : Well , and why would they have done that ?
Valerie : To protect the child .
Eve : To protect him from what ?
Valerie : They might have thought prospective adoptive parents would nt want the boy if they knew his entire history .
Eve : Like what ?
Valerie : I do nt know . But he was obviously abused . He was brutalized . God knows what people did to that poor boy .
Ethan : You ca nt lie to me about this anymore . I know that somebody s forcing you to marry Jared and stay away from me . Now tell me what is going on so I can fix it .
Theresa : You know what ? You misunderstood me . That is nt what I said .
Ethan : That is exactly what you said . And I know you re doing this to help your brothers beat their convictions , Theresa .
Theresa : No , you know what ? I can not talk about this right here , ok ?
Ethan : Hey , you have to talk to me about this . Because I need to know who s behind this . Let me help you with this .
Theresa : You ca nt help me . All right ? You are the last person who can help me .
Ethan : What do you mean by that ?
Theresa : Just trust me , Ethan . You can not help me .
Ethan : Well , that does nt make any sense . Unless this has something to do with that secret that you ve been keeping from me since Rome .
Theresa : I ca nt . You heard the advice he told his friend .
Whitney : To stay with his wife and sue the mother of the child for joint custody , yeah .
Theresa : If I told Ethan that Little Ethan is his son , he d do the same thing to me . I ve already lost Jane to Ethan and Gwen . I will not lose my son to them , too . }
Ethan : Theresa . Is that what this is all about ? Come on . Come on , this is too damn important . For once and for all . Tell me what you re hiding from me , please .
Spike : Oh , sweetheart . Lighten up , honey . You know I hate to see you upset like this .
Jessica : I just feel so alone . Nobody really loves me .
Spike : What ? Honey , have you been hearing what I m saying ? Have you been listening to what I ve been telling you , honey ?
Jessica : They said you did nt love me . If you loved me , you would nt make me turn tricks . And you would nt hit me either .
Spike : I -- I m sorry , but that s love taps . Listen to me , baby . Look at me . Look at me , honey . I love you . I loved you -- I loved you the first second that I saw you . Baby , I always put you first . Always .
Jessica : Really ?
Spike : Look , would I lie , honey ? Look , let s just -- let s just get out of here . All right ? Let s just go someplace where nobody can bother us . Let s just leave all these phonies behind . What do you say , honey ?
Paloma : Make love to me , Noah . Make love to me now .
Paloma : Now what s wrong ?
Noah : Uh , this is wrong . This is very wrong . I ca nt do this , Paloma . Not here , not like this . Not in my father s living room . You deserve so much more than this .
Paloma : But I want you .
Noah : Uh , and I want you , too . But , look , when we make love for the first time it should be special . It should be romantic and wonderful . You know , not in a rush because we re worried that someone s going to walk in the front door .
Paloma : No one is going to walk in the front door .
Noah : Wait . I just -- Paloma . Look , I care about you a lot . I care about you so much . I just -- I think it s too soon for us to take this next step .
Paloma : You really think it s too soon ?
Noah : Look . Come here . Paloma , I really thought I loved Fancy . But we moved too fast . You know ? We were nt ready for this intense , serious , committed relationship . And I do nt want to make that same mistake with you . You know , I really want to get to know you before we , you know , take that next step . And then when we do , I promise you it will be amazing . It will be beautiful . It will be something we ll never forget .
Paloma : I think you re the most romantic man I have ever known .
Sam : Let s notify the Canadian officials and the border patrol to be on the lookout . I want this entire town sealed . Do you got that ? There s no way Luis is going to escape this time .
Ivy : So , Fancy , where is Luis ?
Fancy : He escaped , Mother . Sheridan helped him .
Ivy : Sheridan ?
Fancy : Shh . Not so loud .
Ivy : So Sheridan is with Luis ?
Fancy : Yeah , she found out where he was hiding and she went to him . She s been helping him stay hidden .
Ivy : Oh . What about dear , beloved hubby over there ? Do nt tell me he was helping Luis ?
Fancy : No , he was actually surprised .
Ivy : So Sheridan just left her husband and her child to run off with Luis ?
Fancy : Mother , I have been telling you . I have been telling everyone . Sheridan wants her husband , and her son , and Luis . She s greedy , just like Grandfather . She wants it all because she s a spoiled , rotten brat .
Ivy : She s a Crane , Fancy . Just like you and your sister . You ve all inherited the Crane temperament . Which is why what happened between you and Pretty happened .
Fancy : Oh , Mother , please do not talk to me about my sister . I never want to hear her name again .
Ivy : Ok , ok , I m sorry . Just calm down . We have some bigger problems here .
Chris voice : Where are you , Sheridan ?
Sheridan : No . I am not leaving you alone , Luis .
Luis : Well , there s no way that you re staying here . Sheridan , it s too dangerous .
Sheridan : I knew it would be dangerous when I picked you up and drove you here . I am staying with you . I am going wherever you go .
Luis : Well , that s not going to happen . Because I do nt even know where I m going .
Sheridan : I said , wherever you go .
Luis : You know what ? You know , it is pointless to argue with you when you re like this . We just need to get some sleep , ok ?
Sheridan : Fine .
Luis : Fine . You take the bedroom , I ll take the couch .
Sheridan : You know what ? I am so tired , I could sleep on rocks .
Luis : Yeah . I m exhausted , too .
Sheridan : Look . Try not to worry , Luis , ok ?
Luis : I m worried about you .
Sheridan : Do nt be . You know why I m doing this , do nt you ? I want to protect you . I know you re not guilty of the charges against you .
Luis : Well , thank you for believing me .
Sheridan : Of course I believe in you . I know you would never rape a woman . Especially one that you care so much about , like Fancy . And I know that you did nt kill Rae . Or anyone else , for that matter . Someone is definitely out to make you look guilty .
Luis : Yeah , they re doing a pretty good job of it , too .
Sheridan : Well , I m going to help prove that you re innocent .
Luis : You realize that may be easier said than done ? The evidence against me -- it s evidence I ca nt refute .
Sheridan : Yeah , I know . But hiding in the pantry with the ski mask on after Fancy was raped did make you look guilty .
Luis : I was nt hiding , Sheridan . I was drugged . Someone put me in that pantry .
Sheridan : You have no proof of that , do you ?
Luis : No . No . And the guards on the Crane estate , they could nt find anyone suspicious . And the only person Fancy saw in her room the last time she was attacked , was me .
Sheridan : I think I know how the attacker got in and out of Fancy s room without actually being seen .
Luis : How ?
Sheridan : Well , there are secret passageways that my father put into the house . Secret openings in the walls .
Luis : Well , yeah , I thought of that . But who else knows about them ?
Sheridan : A lot of people , I m sure . Especially since my father showed all of us how he could disappear right before our eyes at his and Theresa s wedding . Do nt you think Sam had the police search the house for all the secret passageways ?
Luis : Who knows ? You know , if I could just find the guy who was pretending to be me when he bought that acid .
Sheridan : I m going to help you . But not tonight . You need to get some rest .
Luis : Yeah , you , too . Good night .
Sheridan : Good night .
Luis : Great . I ca nt believe I dragged Sheridan into this . I ca nt believe this is even happening . And I have no clue how to stop it .
Luis : Oh , boy .
Luis : Sheridan ? [ Sheridan continues crying ]
Luis : Sheridan ? Sheridan . Hey , what s wrong ? Why are you crying ?
Sheridan : I just realized what a rotten , terrible person I am .
Luis : Sheridan , you are not a terrible person .
Sheridan : Yes , I am . Fancy s right . I have been trying to come between the two of you for months now . And even when I realized what I was doing , I could nt stop myself . What is wrong with me ?
Luis : Well , Sheridan , you re not a terrible person . Ok ? Not at all .
Ethan : Look , you re not the first person I ve known to be blackmailed . And obviously you re very afraid to tell me what this person has on you , Theresa .
Theresa : No , I m not afraid . It s just --
Ethan : Just what ? You re not being honest with me . You re not . I need to know if this has anything to do with whatever it is that you ve been keeping from me .
Theresa : No .
Ethan : Theresa , you re telling me that this has nothing to do with the secret that you ve been keeping from me ?
Theresa : No , it does nt . Now leave it alone . Please , Ethan .
Ethan : Fine , fine . I ll leave it alone , but you need to promise me something . That you re not going to do something stupid like run off and marry Jared .
Theresa : I ca nt promise you that .
Ethan : Give me a little bit of time . A little bit of time to work on your brothers cases . And in the meantime you are going to promise me that you re not going to marry Jared .
Theresa : Look , Dr. Russell said that we ca nt get married until he s better anyway .
Ethan : Ok , that s great news . Because that gives me a little more time . Now I m going to ask you one more time . Promise me you re not going to run off and marry Jared .
Theresa : I ca nt .
Ethan : You can say it . I m going to promise you this . Just do it .
Theresa : Ethan ?
Ethan : Please .
Theresa : I promise .
Ethan : Thank you . I m going to help your brothers . And you will not have to marry Jared .
Theresa : [ Whispers ] Ok .
Ethan : [ Whispers ] Ok .
Eve : Why was our son brutalized ?
Julian : Does it say in here what happened to him ?
Valerie : No , but I m sure if we could read those blacked out lines , we d have a better idea . Someone obviously hated him or was afraid of him . I do nt know where he is exactly , right now . But you can see for yourself how he spent his life . He s always on the move . I can keep digging and see what else I can come up with ?
Julian : Would you , please ?
Valerie : Um , can you excuse me ?
Julian : Of course .
Eve : Thank you , Valerie .
Whitney : Hey , Valerie .
Valerie : Hi .
Chad : You know , Vincent was waiting for you but he finally left .
Valerie : He s probably furious . I feel terrible . I got held up with work . I was doing a favor for someone .
Whitney : Well , you know what ? He s more disappointed than angry . You know , Vincent really cares about you .
Valerie : You think ? I hope so , because I really care about him .
Whitney : Yeah , you told me that before . So do you feel the same way still ?
Valerie : Even more so . I mean , he s handsome and kind and smart and so sexy . He s totally hot in bed .
Spike : Come on , Jess . What do you say , honey ? Let s go .
Jessica : Spike .
Spike : No , no , baby , listen . Honey , look . I swear to God . I ll take care of you , baby . I know what you like , honey . I ll help you feel better . I promise , sweetheart . Sweetheart , let s go back home where you belong . [ Whispers ] Please .
Paloma : Thank you , Noah , for doing the right thing .
Noah : Hmm . Was it the right thing ?
Paloma : I think so . Even though I m aching to be with you .
Noah : Trust me , I m aching as well . But look . I think waiting will make it more special .
Paloma : Yes .
Noah : Good . Now what do you say we go upstairs and check in on Jessica ?
Paloma : Ok , good idea .
Eve : Do you think our son was abused because he was of mixed race ?
Julian : No , I do nt think so . I ca nt believe that in this day and age . It must be something else .
Eve : But what ?
Valerie : I probably should nt be talking about Vincent like this in front of you , Chad . I can see it s making you feel uncomfortable . I m sorry .
Whitney : Chad is a big boy . Are nt you , honey ? Hearing about Vincent s ability as a lover is not making him uncomfortable . Right , babe ?
Chad : No , of course not . Why would it ?
Valerie : Right ?
Chad : Mm - hmm .
Valerie : Well , I m glad . Because I have to tell you , Vincent is amazing . He s like a Greek God on sexual overdrive .
Sam : Chris .
Sam : You do nt have any idea who was driving Luis getaway car , do you ?
Chris : Um , no . No , I do nt .
Sam : Well , you ll let me know if he tries to contact you or Sheridan ?
Chris : Well , of course . Of course .
Sam : Good .
Ivy : Well , I think Sheridan must have lost her mind . To leave her husband and her child ? Run off and harbor a fugitive ?
Fancy : Oh , her mind is working perfectly , Mother . She knows exactly what she s doing . And I ve got to find her before she manages to take Luis away from me forever .
Luis : Sheridan , you need to stop beating up on yourself . You re not a bad person .
Sheridan : You always know how to make me feel better , Luis . Thank you .
Luis : Ok . It s ok .
Ethan : I ve got to work fast if I m going to help Luis and Miguel . I have to keep Theresa from marrying Jared . At least I have until Eve releases him from the hospital . Just hope that s enough time .
Jared : Hey .
Theresa : Hi . How are you feeling ?
Jared : Oh , much better , actually .
Theresa : Good .
Jared : Dr. Russell came and gave me some really good news .
Theresa : What news ?
Jared : Well , she came and examined me and changed her mind . She said she does nt find any reason why we ca nt get married tonight .
Fancy : Now to see if Luis is under video surveillance .
Noah : I am taking her home and far away from you .
Kay : I want you so bad .
Miguel : I want you , too .

Adam : Well , I m not . Why are you getting so worked up ?
Chelsea : I m not worked up . I m not . I m -- [ Sighs ] It s been a long day , okay , adam ? Most of which I ve just been thinking about connor and how we can help him . So ... I m sorry if I m coming apart a little bit . I just want this to get better .
Adam : So do I. But we ca nt overreact to everything he says or does .
Chelsea : Yeah , like all these lies about sharon ?
Adam : No that s different .
Chelsea : Yeah . I ll say it is .
Adam : Look , we have to find a way to call him on what he did without making him feel threatened . I mean , I even considered making something up to show connor what he did was wrong .

Victoria : [ Chuckles softly ] Additional sponsorship
Reporter : Major , this could not have been a better moment for that split screen time president trump is talking about . He needed something to focus on other than what just happened on capitol hill . That s why he s trying to talk about china , which is a victory for him . As for the rest of what he said , it s much of the same , hitting home the same points he s made since the launch of this inquiry . First he continues to defend himself , saying he did nothing wrong , and he was only acting on behalf of the country , not himself , when he had those conversations with the ukrainian president . Number two , again , continuing to attack the process . We heard the same words , witch hunt , sham , hoax , that he believes is working when he s communicating to the american public , painting himself as the victim of a political witch hunt and of a partisan process that has left him scrambling to defend his presidency . I do think it s interesting , major , that he said that the democrats were trivializing the impeachment procitizen . I believe this is a new talking point . He s acknowledging that this is a critical tool for law lawmakers but says it s not appropriate in this case because he is innocent . And so there you heard it . The president saying once again , defending himself , that despite the monumental development in this inquiry , he is innocent . Weijia jiang on the north lawn of the white house , thank you very much . Our impeachment coverage continues on our 24-hour streaming network . That s cbsn . You can watch it on cbsnews . Com or on the cbs news app . There is more to come on this cbs station and tonight , of course , on the cbs evening news with norah odonnell . Many of you will now return to cbs this morning . For the time being , this has been a cbs news special report . I m major garrett , cbs news , new york . For news 24 hours a day , go to cbs
Chelsea : You always make it about nick .
Adam : Am I wrong ?
Chelsea : Yeah , you re wrong . Other people have shown their concern , adam . Even sharon said she was worried that connor was getting the wrong idea about us .
Adam : Okay , and sharon also said that he was getting better and that one of the reasons is because he felt safe when we were together in this house . And you thought the same thing up until , what , five minutes ago ?
Chelsea : I am expressing my concern .
Adam : Okay . And so am I. And my concern is that nick will say or do anything to get you to move back in with him , even if it means hurting connor .
Chelsea : Oh , that is so unfair .
Adam : Really ?
Chelsea : Really . Nick has been so understanding about this situation , and he would never want that little boy to suffer . Are you crazy ?
Adam : Well , you have a much higher opinion of me than I do , chelsea .
Chelsea : You know , you are so consumed with your hatred for nick that you -- you question everything .
Adam : Yeah , you re right ! I do -- with good reason .
Chelsea : Adam , I do nt want to argue with you about this .
Adam : Oh , okay . So you re just gon na drop this bomb and you re gon na walk away ?
Chelsea : I am trying to have a discussion with you !
Adam : Yeah , you re trying to have a discussion about who knows best how to raise our son , and you think it s nick !
Chelsea : That s not true ! It s not a contest !
Adam : Okay . So , you re not denying it ?
Chelsea : Do nt you dare put words in my mouth . I will not take the bait .
Adam : Okay . Okay , fine . Fine , chelsea . When should we tell connor and upend his world again -- tomorrow ? Next week ? How bout christmas morning ?
Chelsea : Obviously , when we can both deal with this rationally and calmly . Clearly , you ca nt , so ...
Adam : Where are you going ?
Chelsea : I m going to pick up some things .
Adam : Oh , at nick s , I would assume . That s a great idea . It ll give him a chance to spew more poison .
Connor : Do nt go , mom ! Please do nt go !
Phyllis : Have you been following the city council race since you dropped out ?
Nick : I check in on it from time to time .
Phyllis : Mm . Then you d know that the chicken - coop candidate is ahead in the polls . You know what that means .
Nick : Fresh eggs ?
Phyllis : [ Chuckles ] No . It actually means if you were to have dumped somebody whose name I ca nt mention ...
Nick : [ Sighs ]
Phyllis : ... Instead of pulling out of the race , you would have won by a landslide . Or fresh eggs . I do nt know . Hey , I m unemployed . Maybe I ll throw my hat in the ring . Ooh . No , no , no . Too many skeletons rattling around in my closet .
Nick : [ Chuckles ] Yeah . You are , uh ... definitely one of a kind .
Phyllis : I am .
Nick : You are . Alright . Uh , I got to get out of here . I got to go check on christian .
Phyllis : Okay . If you see our daughter , tell her to call me , please .
Nick : I always do .
Phyllis : Thank you .
Nick : I m curious , though , about something . You did nt actually put any money in that jukebox , did you ?
Phyllis : What ? Now , why on earth would I lie about that ?
Nick : To get me out of my funk ... which you did . So , here you go . To play a couple of songs , you know -- some real songs . Uh , anything ... except revenge .
Billy : We re fine . We are . It s just me ... figuring things out .
Victoria : I want to help you , billy , all that I can .
Billy : I know you do . And I appreciate that . It s just , you know -- it s -- it s -- it s me running around . I ve got therapy . I ve got the gym . I ve got my time . I ve got family time . Believe me , sometimes I feel like a walking self - help book .
Victoria : I know that this is a transition time for you , and i do nt want to put any pressure on you .
Billy : You re not . You re not . I do -- I feel your support , and I - I - I - I appreciate it . And I m not forgetting about you . I m not forgetting about us , okay ? And when I get to the end of whatever this is ... you ll be by my side . You are my priority , okay ?
Victoria : I m behind you 1,000 % .
Billy : That s a lot -- 1,000 % .
Victoria : [ Sighs ] I love you , billy .
Billy : Duty calls .
Victoria : I m so sorry . It s always something . Oh . Yeah . This wo nt take long . Hi . Yes . Victoria newman .
Billy : [ Thinking ] This was your chance , billy . Why did nt you tell her the truth ? Why do you keep holding back ? Why ? ( Pirate girl ) ahoy ! ! ! ! !
Billy : [ Thinking ] It s never gon na change unless you make a change , billy , so why hold back ? Tell her what s got you so twisted up . It s victoria . You love her . She loves you .
Victoria : Billy ?
Billy : Put the phone down for a second . Come and sit , will you ?
Victoria : You look so serious . Is everything okay ?
Billy : Vick , I , uh ...
Victoria : What is it ? You can talk to me . You can always tell me anything . You know that .
Billy : I need you .
Connor : You were fighting . You were yelling at each other .
Adam : You know , we re sorry about that , bud . Your mom and I were just having a little disagreement . It s nothing to worry about .
Connor : This is sharon s fault .
Adam : No , connor . No , it s not .
Connor : She does nt want us all together .
Chelsea : That s not true .
Connor : The monster sent sharon to make you and dad fight . The monster wants one of you to leave . That s his plan . When you are nt together , everything goes wrong .
Adam : But you know what ? We are together . And we re not going anywhere . Right , mom ?
Chelsea : That s right . We re both here .
Connor : For now , you are . But what about later ?
Chelsea : Honey , c--
Connor : No , do nt !
Chelsea : Connor , I just want to help you calm down . It s okay .
Connor : I know you think something s wrong with me , but it s not me . It s the monster . Why do nt you believe me ? !
Chelsea : Connor ... come here , sweetie .
Connor : You promise you re coming home ? You swear ?
Chelsea : Yes , connor , I swear . I m coming home .
Connor : [ Whimpering ]
Phyllis : You ready for this ? I know I am .
Chance : Tell me something , phyllis . Have you ever thought of attaching a subject to your questions ? Because I do nt know what this means .
Phyllis : Oh , stop being coy . I know that abby ran to you gloating that she fired me .
Chance : And what if she did ?
Phyllis : I knew it .
Chance : I m not saying that that s what happened , but why would it matter to you ? The deed is done .
Phyllis : Mm . Cause I know that you re partially responsible for pulling the pin .
Chance : How do you figure ?
Phyllis : How do I figure ? Because I m sure abby asked you to get dirt on me .
Chance : No . No . She asked me to find out who was messing with the hotel security system ... and all roads led to you . Here s a little inside information . Crooks do nt get to blame the feds for busting them when they actually committed crimes .
Phyllis : I m not a crook .
Chance : Hmm . Where have i heard that one before ?
Phyllis : I m innocent , and i will prove it .
Chance : You must be confusing me with someone who gives a damn . I m out of this , phyllis , so you can take it somewhere else .
Phyllis : Should I take it to vegas ?
Chance : [ Chuckles ]
Phyllis : Is that where i should take it ? Because you still have nt answered the question . What were you and adam doing in sin city together ?
Chance : Well , I guess that figures . If you have nothing else to say , throw vegas at the wall and see if it sticks .
Phyllis : Oh , I have plenty to say .
Chance : And none of it will mean a damn thing . Stop bluffing with an empty hand , phyllis . You re embarrassing yourself .
Phyllis : I m embarrassing myself ? Hmm . Okay . Well ... why do nt you chew on this piece of the puzzle ? It involves a duffel bag ... and a gun . The young and the restless will continue . The young and the restless will continue .
Victoria : I m so sorry .
Billy : For what ?
Victoria : I just have to leave so soon . I feel like I m spoiling the moment .
Billy : Hey , it s tomorrow in australia . You ve got to get back to the office to make the call .
Victoria : I know . I just wish I could spend the rest of the evening here with you .
Billy : [ Thinking ] And you should want that , too , billy . Tell her to blow off the call and stay . Me , too . But the sooner you get the call done , the sooner you come back to me .
Victoria : Okay . Good point . Alright . I ll see you soon .
Billy : Okay .
Victoria : Bye .
Billy : Bye . [ Thinking ] Okay , billy . Just calm down . Calm down . You got to work out some of this energy , man . Yeah . Maybe you need a good workout . Or maybe that is nt what you need . Maybe you need -- maybe you need something else .
Chance : I have got to tell you , phyllis , your obsession with my time in vegas is as baffling as it is entertaining . Let me ask you , does whatever you think I did involve a buffet , celine dion , and a pair of loaded dice ?
Phyllis : Now you re bluffing .
Chance : You re not a good enough poker player to know that .
Phyllis : I m a very good poker player .
Chance : Mm .
Phyllis : I m also on to you . So , let s , uh , stop with the bad jokes ... and let s get real .
Chance : Okay . Real it is . What do you want to know ?
Phyllis : Let s start with the duffel bag and the gun .
Chance : I worked undercover , phyllis . Sometimes that requires me to carry a gun and -- uh - oh -- a duffel bag .
Phyllis : But you were nt the one carrying it .
Chance : You talking about riza , adam s buddy ?
Phyllis : No . You know who I m talking about . I m talking about that little guy -- the sleazy guy ... the one with the bad suit . What was in the bag ?
Chance : I do nt know . His lunch ?
Phyllis : You do know , and i want you to tell me .
Chance : Are you a cop , phyllis ? Or a prosecutor ? Do you have a subpoena or anything at all that will require me to tell you one damn thing ? Of course you donT. You ve been hammering adam and me about this ever since I came back to town , and I can only guess it s to get some kind of leverage against me or adam -- I suspect adam because he s done something wrong to you , and while I admire your tenacity , I have better things to do , and so do you , like getting a job . That should keep you busy .
Phyllis : Wow . That s a great speech .
Chance : [ Sighs ]
Phyllis : [ Chuckling ] It is . You know you could brush me off . You can try , but you re not gon na get rid of me . You know that , right ? I know what I saw . Something big was going down in vegas , and you and adam are right in the middle of it . I m gon na find out what it is .
Chance : [ Chuckles softly ]
Victoria : Thank you .
Abby : Oh , let me guess . You are either coming from work or going back .
Victoria : I m going back . I needed some fuel for a late night at the office .
Abby : Mmm . Lola s empanadas should do the trick .
Victoria : They are my favorite .
Abby : [ Chuckles ] Well , you re awfully cheerful for someone about to pull an all - nighter .
Victoria : Oh . It shows , huh >
Abby : Uh , yeah . It s written all over your face .
Victoria : Ahh .
Abby : So ?
Victoria : Well , you know , um , billy and I -- we ve been a little distant with each other lately , but ... tonight was like old times , better times .
Abby : I m so glad . I m really happy for you .
Victoria : Thank you . Me , too . And just in time for the holidays . Let s just hope that the rest of this year makes up for everything that our family has been through in 2019 .
Abby : We deserve it .
Victoria : We do deserve it . Yes . [ Both laugh ] So , how -- how are how are things with you ?
Abby : Kind of great .
Victoria : Great ?
Abby : Yeah .
Victoria : Really ? So , the hotel is doing well ?
Abby : Business is picking up .
Victoria : Good . So , this perky attitude that you have , is -- is that why , or did someone put that gleam in your eye ?
Abby : Well , I do nt want to jinx it , but yes . Maybe . I - I do nt know . I will let you know later , if there s anything to even tell . Listen , you just go finish your work , eat your empanadas , and get home to billy .
Victoria : I ca nt wait .
Abby : [ Chuckles ]
Amanda : [ Sighs ] Have a seat .
Billy : [ Chuckles ]
Chance : Is there anything else , phyllis ?
Phyllis : I have plenty more .
Chance : I doubt that very much . But you ll keep pretending that you do until you run out of hot air , and it s too bad , really . I could learn to like you if you were nt such a pain in the ass .
Phyllis : Such a boy scout . That s what you want everybody to think . But I know otherwise because you re friends with adam .
Chance : Your old pal .
Phyllis : Yeah , my old pal -- past tense .
Chance : So , I m right . It s too bad . I d imagine you can use all the friends you could get .
Phyllis : You know , take your condescending good - ol-boy bull and sling it at someone stupid enough to buy it , because , really , I donT.
Chance : We re done now , phyllis . You have finally worn me out .
Phyllis : I have ?
Chance : Look , if you want to keep digging , be my guest . But you might want to stop and ask yourself this -- is my life so empty that I have to spend it digging up dirt on other people ?
Chelsea : [ Sighs ]
Nick : Hey .
Chelsea : Hey .
Nick : I was nt expecting -- what s wrong ? Is it connor ?
Chelsea : He lost it again tonight -- just completely broke down .
Nick : I m sorry .
Chelsea : I had to hold him until he fell back asleep . I m only here to get more clothes , and then I have to go back before he wakes up again .
Nick : Yeah . I understand .
Chelsea : Of course you understand ... because you are being so patient with me .
Nick : There s not much else I can be at the moment .
Chelsea : I m sure you re getting sick of this .
Nick : I ca nt lie to you . It s hard . It s hard for everybody .
Chelsea : Everybody ?
Nick : I m not saying this to make you feel worse , but I was putting christian to bed tonight ... and he had tears in his eyes . He asked me if chelsea and connor were ever coming home . I did nt answer him ... because , honestly , I do nt know the answer to the question myself .
Abby : Hey .
Chance : You made it .
Abby : I hope you did nt start without me .
Chance : I almost had to .
Abby : Why ?
Chance : Your friend phyllis decided to choose me as the target of her day .
Abby : Ooh .
Chance : I guess you were unavailable .
Abby : Sorry .
Chance : It s no big deal .
Abby : No , but I am the one responsible for you becoming one of phyllis enemies -- not that I m sorry about it .
Chance : I m not sorry , either .
Abby : But surviving phyllis means that you are qualified to be our head of security . So ... are you accepting my offer ?
Chance : [ Sighs ]
Billy : [ Sighs ]
Amanda : So , here we are .
Billy : Here we are .
Amanda : What s wrong .
Billy : Nothing . Everything s perfect . My wife is perfect . My family is perfect . Everything is perfect but me .
Amanda : I know a little about that .
Billy : Oh , yeah ?
Amanda : Mm - hmm . I am starting over with a brand - new , squeaky - clean slate , leaving all my baggage behind , so all that s left is right now -- no before , no after , just ... this moment . But I ca nt help thinking that it would be really nice if it would stay that way .
Billy : Mm . Frozen in time .
Amanda : Mm . Something like that .
Billy : You know what just dawned on me ?
Amanda : What ?
Billy : I do nt know a damn thing about you . I mean , I know you re an attorney . You look like hillary . There s got to be a story there , right ?
Amanda : Mm , no story . Just an unfortunate coincidence .
Billy : I liked hilary .
Amanda : Well , I m not her .
Billy : Which leads me to my question . Who are you ? You know what ? It s none of my business . I - I should nt have asked that . I m sorry .
Amanda : No , no . It s okay . Who I am is somebody who finds it very hard to trust people . I thought I was getting better at that , but ... apparently , I have a long way to go .
Chance : Look , abby I ... I appreciate your generous offer .
Abby : You do nt need to finish .
Chance : I do want you to know I was tempted .
Abby : But not tempted enough to accept . Look , I get it . Being the head of security at the grand phoenix is nt quite as important as keeping the world safe .
Chance : I m thinking of handing that job over to someone else .
Abby : What ? !
Chance : Part of your pitch was successful . I ve decided I m going to stay here in genoa city for a while .
Abby : Well , that s great ! I mean , are you sure that this place is exciting enough for you ?
Chance : I do nt know about exciting , but ... it definitely has its charms .
Abby : What are you gon na do ?
Chance : I do nt know . I figure that I ll take my time , see what comes to me .
Abby : Well , this calls for a toast .
Chance : A toast .
Abby : To ... the future .
Chance : The future sounds good . [ Glasses clink ] As a part of that future , how about you and I go out on a date ?
Connor : [ Gasps ]
Adam : Hey . It s okay , bud . I m right here . I m right here , and your mom s coming back , alright ? Ready you must share your mom s we re always gon na be here for you .
Chelsea : I do nt know what to say .
Nick : I probably should nt have told you that about christian . I m sorry .
Chelsea : No . No . I m the one that needs to apologize for making things so hard on him ... and you . [ Sighs ] I m really trying my best here , but it just does nt seem to be working for anybody .
Nick : I own a lot of that , too . Christian has had so many people come in and out of his life . I just wanted so badly to provide some stability for that little boy . I m not doing a very good job of that .
Chelsea : Because you chose me .
Nick : I did nt mean it like that .
Chelsea : If you wo nt say it , I will . I ve not been able to help you provide that stability . I just want to be there for everybody . [ Sighs ] I really have the best of intentions , but I have to put someone first .
Nick : Yeah , connor .
Chelsea : He feels like his house is on fire . Adam and I need to put out that fire .
Nick : I hear you ... and I understand . But , honestly ... I do nt know if I can keep doing this . Can you ?
Billy : Trust ? Yeah , that s -- that s a hard one .
Amanda : The hardest .
Billy : With me , it s the other -- other side of that coin . It s can I be trusted with anyone ? Can I trust myself with anything ?
Amanda : Well , you and I are quite the pair .
Billy : Yeah ? Hmm . I should be getting home .
Amanda : Yes , that s right . [ Clears throat ] You have a life -- a perfect life .
Billy : That I do .

Theo : She said I could call her Lani . Bye .
Lani : Bye , Theo .
Rafe : Yeah .
Lani : Was Abe busting my chops ? Did he think I was goofing off ?
Rafe : No . I think he was rescuing you . Theo gets a little weird with the baseball .
Lani : Yeah , you may have noticed , so do I. Anyways , you were talking about what to do with your free time . Did you see there s an a cappella competition at Salem u ? All show tunes .

Steve : No .
Kayla : Well , you know what ? I got my own text . It told me to come here and all my questions would be answered . So no , I was not planning to seduce you here at the Salem inn .
Steve : Well , I did nt really think that anyway . I guess I was just hoping against hope .
Kayla : Do nt hold your breath .
Steve : Okay . So if I did nt do this and you did nt do this , who did ?
Kayla : I guess let s let the games begin .
Steve : Well , whoever is behind this is not on a budget .
Kayla : That s the champagne that we served at our wedding .
Steve : They must have known that we would figure this out .
Kayla : Of course they d know . That s the whole point , is nt it ? For them to know that there is somebody out there , somebody trying to get us ?
Steve : Well , at least they re not going after our son .
Kayla : I ca nt take it . I ca nt take any more of this .
Kayla : What the hell are you doing ?
Steve : I think we could both use a drink . Do nt you , sweetness ?
Kayla : Are you out of your mind ?
Ciara : I just figured something out . You do nt want to move back in because you know you re gon na be taking off again .

Bo : I pr -- baby , I p-- I m -- I am not going anywhere . You and your mom mean everything to me . Everything I want in the world is right here in this house .
Ciara : Then why are you acting so weird ? Cause you think mom does nt want you back ? I mean , come on , dad . Like , give her a day or two . She has nt exactly had a great week .
Bo : Yeah . You look after your mom , do nt you ?
Ciara : I try .
Bo : Good . Well , you keep doing that .
Ciara : Oh , you know what ? I forgot . I got to go somewhere . Hey , while I m gone , why do nt you and mom , like-- I do nt know -- not be so dumb ?
Hope : No !
Bo : Hope !
Hope : No , you son of a bitch .
Bo : Hope !
Hope : How dare you ?
Bo : Hope !
Hope : You bastard !
Bo : Hey ! Whoa . Hey , what-- no , no , no , no .
Hope : Leave me alone . Let go of me .
Bo : It s all right . It s all right .
Hope : I want it shredded . I want it gone .
Bo : I know . I know . Stop .
Hope : I want it gone !
Bo : I know .
Hope : No , you do nt . You do nt know .
Bo : It s okay .
Hope : I was so stupid .
Bo : No , no . He was a psychopath . He fooled everybody . Just -- it s okay . Give yourself some time .
Hope : It s not just the dress , Bo . It s everything . He s touched everything in this house .
Bo : It s okay .
Hope : He s still here .
Bo : No .
Hope : Yes , he is .
Bo : No , no , he s gone . He will never , ever hurt you again . It s okay . It s okay .
Hope : I do nt think I can live here anymore . I ca nt . I ca nt live here anymore .
Steve : Wow . Do you know how much this stuff costs ?
Kayla : Who cares ? What they did to Joey-- you do nt know what s in that champagne .
Steve : Well , the cork was sealed .
Kayla : Of course it was . They re not amateurs . Listen to me . Listen to me . They , they . I just hate that , and I hate that you have brought this back into my life and our kids lives , and ...
Steve : Oh , sweetness , I know . I m so sorry . I m sorry , okay ?
Kayla : Oh , dear God .
Steve : What ?
Kayla : This is how it is , is nt it ? You comfort me , you make me feel safe , and one thing leads to another , and ... this is you , is nt it ?
Rafe : We ve been through this before , and I still think that the two of us going out together is not really a good idea . And especially now , since Abe just brought up a really good point , which is that hope s gon na be out . I do nt know for how long , and so we really need to lean on you , and so we need to keep our relationship strictly professional .
Lani : I mean , I do nt see why two professionals ca nt go to a bulls game together .
Rafe : Well , because it sounds like a date .
Lani : I did nt mean it like that .
Rafe : Okay .
Lani : But I get it . You re worried about appearances . Forget I asked .
Rafe : Asked what ?
Abe : What do you think about Lani ?
Theo : I like her .
Abe : Just because she knows a lot about baseball ?
Theo : No . Because she laughs at my jokes , and it s not a pretend laugh , either .
Abe : [ Laughs ] Well , good . I m glad you feel that way . Theo ... there s something-- there s something I have to tell you , something -- something important . Son , Lani-- Lani is your sister .
Bo : Hey , that-- that dress is gone . You ll never see it again .
Hope : Thank you .
Bo : This is our house , fancy face ... where we raised our kids , where you made so many memories for them . I think you should stay and fight . Fight to make this home yours again .
Hope : I m so tired , Bo .
Bo : I know . I know . But you do nt have to fight alone . You have family : Shawn , Ciara , Doug , Julie .
Hope : And you ? Do I have you ?
Bo : You will always , always have me . I fought through everything they threw at me to get back to you , hope . I love you so much .
Hope : Then why did I get the feeling you did nt want me anymore , that you did nt want us anymore ?
Bo : Did nt want you or-- hope , I want you , I want us , for as long as I live . You re the love of my life , always a part of my heart .
Hope : I can handle anything as long as I know you love me , Brady . Anything .
Bo : I do love you , more than you know .
Hope : [ Laughs ] ( Woman ) one year ago today mom started searching for her words .
Steve : Kayla , do you really think I would do that ? Knowing what you re going through , knowing that your brother is dying-- you think I would do that ?
Kayla : No . I m just -- I m just so scared .
Steve : I know , baby .
Kayla : I m scared for my brother . I m scared for my kids . Just ...
Steve : And I brought all this back into your life .
Kayla : But you also brought my brother back . And he could have died out there alone , and I would have never known what happened to him .
Theo : Mom had another baby ?
Abe : No . No , no , no . Lani s mother was someone I knew a long time ago , before I even met your mother . Her name was Tamara . Look , um ... Theo , sometimes when we find out something that s big like this ... at first -- at first , we do nt know how we feel . Hey , look , why do nt we-- why do nt we get a cup of hot chocolate and talk about it , huh ?
Theo : Actually , I want to go walk-- alone-- and think .
Abe : Okay . Okay . Hey , want to say -- say good - bye to Lani ?
Lani : You told him ? Yeah . It does nt look like it made him very happy .
Abe : Wait . Just wait and see .
Bo : [ Panting ]
Steve : No hidden cameras , no recording devices .
Kayla : Just roses and champagne . You know , the texts that got us here and that note ... I mean , they were nt exactly menacing . Do you think maybe they re not even related to this ?
Steve : Yeah , you mean like a little anonymous matchmaking ?
Kayla : I do nt know . Just a thought .
Steve : You could be right . But those other texts , those-- I do nt think those were benign . We have to find out who sent them and why .
Theo : So you re really okay ?
Joey : My mom would nt have let me out of the hospital if she was not 100 % sure of that . Hey , look , Theo . Thank you . I owe you one .
Theo : Lani helped too .
Joey : Yeah . She can help me anytime she likes .
Theo : Joey , do you like having a sister ?
Joey : Huh ?
Theo : Stephanie , are you glad she s your sister ?
Joey : I guess it s okay .
Theo : You do nt like her ?
Joey : She s fine . I mean , she s my sister , you know ? No , I guess you do nt know . Sorry .
Theo : But I will . Joey , my dad just told me that Lani is my older sister .
Joey : Man , you got one good - looking sister .
Theo : Do nt talk about her like that .
Joey : Theo , it s not an insult . But why did you ask me about Steph ? Are you upset that she s gon na be your sister ?
Hope : Bo ?
Bo : Hey , Rafe .
Rafe : Hey . How s it going ? How s hope ?
Bo : That s what I wanted to talk to you about . Can we talk in there ?
Rafe : Yeah , sure . Come on .
Bo : Thanks , man .
Rafe : Yeah . So what s up ?
Bo : You know how difficult it is to come back from an attack , and what happened with hope is even worse cause , you know , she loved the guy and married him , so it s gon na be a long , difficult road to recovery for her .
Rafe : Yeah . Well , I think it ll be shorter and smoother now that you re back .
Bo : Yeah , well , that s the thing . I m not gon na be around all that long .
Rafe : Wait . What do you mean , you re not gon na be around ? What , you just came back in town to play hero and then you re gon na bail out on hope again ? Is that it ?
Bo : No , I do not want to leave my wife . Believe me , I do nt want to go anywhere . I m dying .
Theo : I know Lani s nice , but it s new having a sister . It s different .
Joey : And you do nt like new things , different things , and I get it . I mean -- I mean , Steph s always been my sister , you know ? It s like air and trees and TV . She s just there . But , you know , you did nt know Lani , and , like , out of the blue ...
Theo : My dad , he wants me to be happy about it .
Joey : And you do nt know if you are .
Ciara : Hey , guys .
Joey : Ciara , what a surprise . You were shopping . You sure do nt back off that material girl thing .
Ciara : I was shopping for my mother .
Theo : I think it s nice that you got your mom a present . I miss my mom .
Joey : I know .
Ciara : I m sorry . I should nt have talked about my mom .
Theo : No , it s okay . I mean , you did nt have a dad for a long time , but I did . You have a mom . I do nt . Family comes and goes , I guess .
Ciara : What does that mean ?
Joey : It s okay , Theo . You can tell her .
Theo : You tell her .
Ciara : Tell me what ?
Joey : Theo just found out that he has a sister .

Steve : Yeah , but usually everything turned out okay , right ? And it was nt boring .
Kayla : No . It was never boring . Do nt drink the champagne until we get it tested .
Steve : Oh , my way s easier . And what s life without a little risk , huh ? To you , sweetness .

Joey : Yeah , and like you said , Theo , it s just a new thing .

Joey : And your dad knows that , you know ?

Steve : That did nt happen .
Kayla : Yeah , but you like to take risks . I do nt . I like everything safe and secure and everybody lives to be 100 .
Steve : I know , sweetness .
Kayla : Those people , what they did to Bo , and that they would put a drug in a kid s soda-- they re not playing around . Who knows what s in that champagne ? I mean , it could be poison , for all we know , and I could lose you , and ...
Steve : Sweetness , listen to me . You re not gon na lose me . You re not gon na lose Joe or Stephanie , I swear to you . I swear .
Kayla : You ca nt swear .
Steve : No , I ca nt , but there s no life without some risk . Falling in love , having children-- it s all a risk . I would nt want my life without our children , without you . You re the best thing that s ever happened to me . I do nt know why I was so stupid . If I could just have you back . If I could just have you back .

Phoebe : Alexandria needs you . Mom , you ca nt help her if you re in jail . She is nt sleeping , she is nt eating . She needs you . And you want to tell her that the same person who has been taking care of her and loving her is the person who took her mommy away from her .

Ridge : Mm - hmm .
Stephanie : Are you excited about working with Donna ?
Donna : I ca nt believe Ridge did nt talk to you about this morning s photo shoot . Maybe we should just cancel it . I do nt want to cause problems .
Brooke : No , no . It was just a little communications mix - up . That s all . I ll talk to Ridge .

Donna : Thank you , thank you , thank you . You wo nt be sorry .
Thorne : Phoebe , would you take Alexandria down to the beach ?
Phoebe : Sure . Come on , Alex . Let s go see the ocean .
Thorne : Taylor -- I want to talk to you about something . Um , maybe I m wrong , I do nt know , but -- yesterday , at Darla s funeral , you were so -- emotional . And at the hospital , after the accident -- well , it s been on my mind . And this morning , I realized that -- you ve been carrying a secret . One that has been eating away at you . You d been drinking the night of the accident . After I got off the phone with you this morning , I took Alexandria down to the beach to give it some thought . Taylor , there s really only one thing you can do . I ll go with you , if you like .
Stephanie : Am I interpreting your mood correctly ? You re looking forward to shooting this with Donna ?
Ridge : Mm - hmm .
Stephanie : You actually think that she can replace Brooke ? I m not so sure that the press and the customers are going to go for this .
Ridge : Well , I had an interesting photo session with Donna last night .
Stephanie : Really ? Look , I m just thrilled that you re working again , that you re finding your way back . But the truth is , we could have had any top model in the business do this . Oh . Oh . Mm - hmm . Has Brooke seen this ?
Donna : Ridge !
Ridge : Hey .
Donna : I met Brio on the way up .
Brio : So you have proofs from your shoot last night ?
Ridge : I have them right here . Here you go .
Brio : Thank you . Hmm , nice . Okay , this ll work . Okay , let s start with the backdrop . Diffused lighting . Lots of bounce . And let s talk about hair and make - up . Okay ?
Ridge : Are you ready for this ?
Donna : If you re here , I m ready for anything . - It s good . - Terrific .
Bridget : I m just worried about you , Mom . I feel like you re trying to prove something to -- I do nt know -- Ridge -- or Nick , or yourself . Brooke s bedroom is -- it s you . How are you going to feel watching someone else do it ?
Brooke : Honey , I m going to feel fine . Do nt worry about me , okay ? The only thing I m concerned about is that Donna might get hurt somehow . I m putting her in the position of representing Brooke s bedroom and I want her to have a positive experience .
Nick : Brooke , she s having a positive experience . She s a beginner . These are great . Let it go , huh ? Relax . Let s go to work . We ll go together .
Brooke : You know , I just think I should buzz by the studio , make sure everything s okay .
Nick : I thought we decided you were going to stay away from Forrester Creations ? Is nt that what we decided ?
Brooke : Yeah , I am .
Nick : Is nt that the whole purpose of getting Donna involved , and hiring Donna ?
Brooke : Mm - hmm . I just have to make sure that everything is going smoothly . I wo nt be long . Love you .
Taylor : Wait . Wait , wait , wait . Thorne ? Thorne , where are we going ?
Stan : Half measures availed does nothing . We stood at the turning point . We asked his protection and care with complete abandon .
Taylor : This is nt my problem .
Stan : Okay , Lisa . Can you hand me the chips ?
Thorne : I saw the pamphlet in your purse . You can start a new life today . If you re willing .
Stan : Okay , who s here for the very first meeting ever ?
Thorne : Do nt be afraid . You can do it .
Brio : Good , good . That s good . Try that again . Try that again .
Ridge : Give me a second here .
Donna : I m awful .
Ridge : No , you re not awful . You re beautiful . You just need to lighten up a little bit .
Donna : I do nt know how to do these poses . Those models make it look so easy .
Ridge : Okay , forget all about the models . This is about you . This is about us . We re going to blow the roof off the fashion world -- we re going to do something they have nt seen before . Just let yourself kind of , you know , break a few rules . Be a little naughty . Find that place inside of you that just kind of feels a little naughty , and be free with it -- just kind of , give -- move .
Donna : Okay , okay .
Ridge : Keep the movement going .
Brio : Oh , that s great . Great .
Ridge : There you go .
Brio : That s great .
Ridge : Fun . Hey . I know what I m doing , Logan . I know what I m doing . She has got it . Do nt you think ? I think she s got it .
Brooke : No , no , this is just too provocative . This is the consumer s first exposure to Donna , and she s giving it all away . And what s going to make them want to come back ?
Ridge : Oh , I think they re going to want to come back .
Brooke : This is not the way we do it , Ridge . You know that .
Ridge : Well , it s time for a change , Brooke . Come on .
Brooke : The right change . Not this one .
Ridge : Everything s in the eye of the beholder , is nt it ?
Brooke : What is that supposed to mean ?
Ridge : Brooke , you and I always broke the molds . We did nt care what anyone else thought . We trusted our instincts , right ? Well , I m asking you now to trust my instincts one more time . I do nt think you really see what s going on here , because you re too close to it . This is your line , she s your sister . But I m been telling you , when this campaign hits , it s going to be bigger than anything we ve ever known or even imagined .
Brooke : Or they ll throw us in jail for pandering .
Ridge : Well , heck . As long as we re in the same jail cell , what could be wrong with that ? Look , it s worth a try , okay ? At least if we go down in flames , no one can ever say we did nt give it our best shot .
Maggie : I hid bottles everywhere . Hampers , dresser drawers . I knew I was drinking a lot . I just -- it just never occurred to me to try to stop . Until my kids came home from school one day and found me passed out on the living room floor . And when I think of all the terrible things that could have happened -- [ Taylor remembers ] I m just grateful that I got here when I did .
Stan : Thank you , Maggie . Okay , um , I d like to hear from our newcomer . Taylor , was it ?
Taylor : I did nt know I was even coming here today . I was brought by my friend , Thorne . I thought that -- Thorne just lost his wife in a car accident . It was dark , and she was changing a tire -- and nobody saw her -- and it was too late . Darla was such a wonderful wife . She was a great mother . And friend . If I d just gotten there first . I should nt be here . I should have not been the one who got to live . The way I ve been behaving -- I ve been drinking . I ve been lying to my friends and my family . I ve been sleeping with men I do nt even know . I do nt even know what happened . I do nt even recognize myself anymore . I just -- I do nt know what to do . I do nt know how to get better . I just -- I know that I want to do something . I want to try to do the right thing . For Darla . I want to do that for Darla , because -- I really , I just -- I ca nt live with this pain anymore . I ca nt .
Donna : I was really bad , huh ? Brooke did nt look happy .
Ridge : I do nt know what she was trying harder to protect -- her lingerie line or her little sister . I think she just got caught off guard .
Donna : Well , maybe we should just try it her way .
Ridge : I m gon na let you in on a little secret . Your energy , your spirit -- your goodness -- your mischief -- everything that defines Donna Logan , that s what s going to blow the socks off this campaign .
Donna : Are you sure ?
Ridge : Hey , I ve been in the rag business a lot of years . I ve worked with a lot of models . I ve worked with the best of the best . I know when something has potential . And you , Donna Logan , you have mega - potential . I believe in this concept . What you need to do is just believe in me , be yourself -- and I think if you do that , there s no way we can fail . I have some paperwork to get done . I ll see you later .
Donna : Okay .
Brooke : What the hell was that ?
Donna : What ?
Brooke : Oh , my god ! Do nt act all innocent with me ! I saw you kissing Ridge . Do nt ever kiss him again . Do you understand me ? Ever !

### Dialogue:
Jennifer : Not so great .
Jack : Me , neither . It never occurred to me that gabi would be found innocent .
Jennifer : Yes , and judging by abigail s reaction when we told her , it had nt occurred to her , either . I just wish we would have waited a little bit longer , jack .
Jack : Chad was right . If she had read about this in the spectator or heard about it from a family member , she d be more upset than she is now .
Jennifer : But what if -- what if this slows her recovery process , knowing all of this ?
Jack : She s strong . She ll get through this . What s important -- I still think that honesty is the best policy .
Jennifer : Except when it comes to steve and kayla , right ?
Sonny : Will and I should have taken you for a drink last night . Hope buying you breakfast makes up for it .
Justin : You two seemed a little upset when I showed up .
Sonny : Eh , we did nt wanna get into it . Wanted you to get a good night s sleep for your wedding .

Steve : [ Exhales ]
Kayla : Coming , coming . Hi .
Will : Hey . Uh , I m sorry to bother you . Um , I know you re probably getting ready .
Kayla : No , no . It s so early , I ve got plenty of time , but come in .
Will : Okay , thanks .
Kayla : What are you doing up so early ?
Will : Um , well , the good news is that the house is all set up and ready for the wedding .
Kayla : I m guessing there s some bad news .
Will : Yeah , the bad news is you , uh , just might have to call it off . Male announce
Sonny : Are you having second thoughts about marrying kayla ?
Justin : No , no , nothing like that .
Sonny : Dad , if you re feeling guilty about marrying another woman that is nt mom , I truly believe this is what mom would want , and you know I m happy for you . One of my idiot brothers say something ?
Justin : No , no , they all -- no , they -- they wished us the best and actually they said they were sorry they couldntid be here .
Sonny : Okay , then what is it ?
Justin : Steve .
Sonny : Still ?
Justin : Look , you ca nt deny that he s back in town or that he was brainwashed when he signed those divorce papers .
Sonny : Has he been bothering you or kayla ?
Justin : No , no , he s told us both that he knows it s , you know -- it s over for him and kayla .
Sonny : Okay , look -- and -- and this sucks for uncle steve , and I m sorry , but that s life .
Justin : But it kinda takes the edge off of complete bliss . I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop .
Sonny : Dad , kayla loves you now .
Justin : But I understand the kind of love she and steve had . The same kind I had with your mom . The difference is , your mom is gone . Steve is here .
Sonny : Kayla s not the flighty type . She had a choice to make , and she made it . The battle s over .
Justin : But it does nt feel like I won . Feels like steve took himself out of the running . You know , what if he changes his mind ?
Steve : So , kayla s marrying justin today . Totally slipped my mind .
Hope : Here , give me the blanket . Yeah , right , it slipped your mind . Okay , so , you re fine with this ? Does nt bother you in the least that you have to watch her marry another man ?
Steve : Actually , I wo nt be watching , even if she did invite me .
Hope : She did ? What ?
Steve : Yeah , it was a last- minute thing . She ran into me and , you know , she felt like she had to .
Hope : Oh , come on .
Steve : But when she s tying the knot , I ll be all caught up with the pomp and ceremony of receiving my key to this fair city so obviously I ca nt be at kayla s wedding . Steve , honest to god , this key thing is ridiculous . Just blow it off . I ll handle everything with kate .
Steve : Thanks , but no . Better for everyone if I m not at that wedding .
Hope : Because ? You d wanna stop it from happening , that s why .
Will : Maggie is sick .
Kayla : What s wrong with her ?
Will : Uh , she has a chest cold and she has to stay in bed all day .
Kayla : And that s why you think that we should cancel the wedding ?
Will : Well , no , that s not it . Also the -- justice of the peace canceled and we ca nt find anybody to replace him .
Kayla : You re kidding . Well , ca nt they send somebody else in his place ?
Will : I tried . I mean , I -- I called a bunch of parishes . I called st . Luke s , every judge that victor bribed , but -- but I came up with nothing .
Kayla : [ Scoffs ] I ca nt believe this .
Will : I ca nt either . I m sorry . Everything is ready to go , but there s nobody to marry you and justin .
Victor : Listen , I know you re furious with me for firing you and replacing you with brady , but just between us , there s a good chance that brady may be stepping down .
Xander : Really ?
Victor : You did a wonderful job as ceo . As a matter of fact , you re my candidate to replace him , so do nt go away mad .
Sarah : Just go away .
Jennifer : No , I -- I m serious , jack . Are -- you re telling me it does nt matter to you at all that kayla is going to marry justin without knowing all the facts ?
Jack : Steve had plenty of time to tell kayla how he felt . He did nt take it .
Jennifer : Right , but you re saying that she has no say in the matter . I m about to help her get ready for a wedding , and I feel like a terrible friend , jack .
Jack : It s not your place , jennifer , okay ? Steve was -- was very clear about his wishes . He was very clear about his wishes .
Jennifer : Okay , yes , i get it . I will do it his way , but i do nt like it .
Jack : Okay .
Jennifer : I mean , do you like it ? I know that you re saying we should nt interfere , but do you really like the idea that kayla is going to marry justin when she does not know how much steve loves her ?
Jack : It makes me think of that scene in casablanca where ilsa tells rick to make the decision for the two of them , and steve has just made the decision all on his own .
Jennifer : Yes , so you re saying you see how unfair this is .
Jack : I do , but if anyone is going to tell kayla the truth , it has to be him . It has to be . Please .
Jennifer : Fine . Well , I need to go cause I need to pick up kayla s dress , but I m just telling you , it is going to be really hard for me to keep my mouth shut .
Jack : I have complete faith in you .
Jennifer : Wish me luck .
Jack : Luck .
Steve : Hope , you have been to plenty of salem weddings . When they ask if anybody objects , you re supposed to keep your mouth shut .
Hope : Even if you re in love with the bride ?
Steve : I ca nt be at that wedding . It ll just make everybody uncomfortable , especially the groom , and besides , kayla did nt really wanna invite me . She was on the spot . She regretted it the minute it came out of her mouth .
Hope : You re not a mind reader .
Steve : I m not doing it , hope .
Hope : [ Scoffs ]
Steve : I m not doing it . I decided to keep quiet and i expect my friends to respect that decision .
Hope : Wait a second . Other people know about this ?
Steve : [ Exhales ] Jack got it out of me when i was drunk . Jack told jennifer . Jennifer s dying to tell kayla , but I really hope she does nt because I do believe that kayla has a good future with justin . I do nt wanna ruin her happiness .
Hope : And what about your happiness ? What about that ?
Steve : I get free coffee every morning at casa de brady .
Hope : Oh , steve .
Steve : Yeah , and -- and this afternoon I ll be getting my very own key to the city . What more could a dude ask for , huh ?
Hope : You re impossible , is what you are .
Steve : Ooh , ooh . Just a couple of hours till our moment of glory . I m gon na go shine up my fancy patch .
Sonny : If uncle steve was gon na make move on kayla , he s not the kinda guy that would do it on her wedding day , and even if he did , who s to say that kayla would want him ?
Justin : She keeps reassuring me that it s me she loves . She seems to mean it .
Sonny : Of course she means it .
Justin : And steve s made it clear that what they had is over .
Sonny : So , as mom would say , stop borrowing trouble .
Justin : I do nt wanna do that , but I just ca nt stop feeling uneasy .
Kayla : Um -- um , what about-- what about abe ? He s -- he s married a lot of people .
Will : Uh , he s actually busy with the -- the key to the city ceremony .
Kayla : Oh , right . Well , then there s marlena . I mean , she s ordained .
Will : Yeah , uh , but she and john have to be there , too .
Kayla : Of course . They re the ones who were saved .
Will : Yeah , and they re giving speeches .
Kayla : Um , well , you know , it looks like we re running out of options . I mean , the ceremony s in a couple of hours . Wha -- what are we gon na do ?
Xander : If the job opens up , I m definitely interested , but I m not moving out because I m mad about being fired . I m moving out because that s what sarah wants .
Victor : Since when do you get to tell people they ca nt live in my house ?
Xander : Leave her alone . Her mother s here so that s where she needs to be , which means I have to go .
Victor : I understand you re angry about what xander and I did .
Sarah : [ Scoffs ] That s right .
Victor : Well , it seems to me that he s rather contrite . I know I certainly am . Ca nt you give him a break ?
Sarah : I tried . I really did , but he just saw it as another opportunity to run my life .
Victor : What does that mean ? It means he offered to give me another person s baby to replace mickey .
Victor : And that made you angry ? Seems to me like a very nice gesture .
Sarah : That s because you re just as clueless as he is .
Victor : What s the matter with her ?
Xander : Sarah made her feelings very clear , and i finally got the message . I wo nt bother you anymore .
Victor : Where can i reach you ?
Xander : Salem inn . Please , uh , give justin my every best wish for a happy future , even though the bastard did nt invite me to the wedding .
Victor : Seems you and I need to have a little talk .
Sonny : You gon na have that piece of bacon ?
Justin : You want it ?
Sonny : Yeah , I love bacon .
Justin : It s yours . Besides , I do nt wanna have heartburn at the wedding .
Sonny : Dad , I wish I could snap my fingers and make you chill and happy about today .
Justin : [ Groans ] You know , it always seemed to me like your mom was the one who always got worried and anxious and I had to be steady and strong to calm her down , and now I realize she was just doing a number , pretending all that , so I had to be strong and steady for her sake .
Sonny : You know , we re both lost without mom , but I m gon na say what I think she would say . You are the best man on the face of this earth .
Justin : Sonny--
Sonny : I mean it , okay ? You are not just loving and wise . You re a hell of a good time , and there is no way that kayla would ever not want to be with you , steve or no steve .
Justin : That s very kind of you to say .
Sonny : Any time I m in a bad situation , I think , what would dad do ? Because you re my role model . I look up to you . Except for that boring lawyer job you have .
Justin : [ Laughs ] Thank you for the pep talk , and you are the best son anyone could wish for .
Sonny : Well , I mean , you re just saying that cause I m your only son showing up for your wedding , so ...
Justin : And you know , to be perfectly honest , I m not sure your brothers are sold on me marrying kayla .
Sonny : That s because they have nt seen how happy she makes you , and I have . So come on . Let s go get you in your wedding duds .
Justin : Okay . Here we go . Thanks again .
Sonny : Oh , yeah . Have you seen the way the house is fixed up ? It s gon na be a good wedding .
Will : I see . No , no , I -- I understand , julie . Um , oh , yeah , sure . Well -- well find somebody else . Just , uh , thank you and -- and i hope you and doug feel better soon . Okay , all right . I love you . Bye . [ Phone beeps ] Julie has the same cold that maggie has , so she s not gon na be able to help us .
Kayla : I ca nt believe this . [ Erratic knocking ] Uh , just a second ! What ?
Jennifer : Hi !
Hope : You ready to get hitched ?
Kayla : Well , I m ready , but we have a hitch in the proceedings .
Jennifer : Will , hi !
Will : Hey .
Jennifer : What are you doing here ? Well , I -- I came to tell kayla that , one , maggie s sick , and two , the justice of the peace cancelled .
Hope : You re kidding . What -- maggie s gon na be okay , is nt she ?
Will : Yeah , she s gon na be fine . Sarah s looking after her , but the immediate problem is we do nt have anybody to perform the ceremony .
Hope : Well , there s got ta be someone .
Will : I mean , I tried . I ve called abe , marlena , julie , but none of them can do it .
Jennifer : Do nt you think we should just postpone it ?
Hope : She s right . I mean , you re right .
Jennifer : Yeah .
Hope : She is right . There s no reason , I mean , you have to get married today .
Kayla : I know , I -- yeah , i ca -- I do , actually , because everything s all set . The caterers , the flowers . I mean , besides , there are so many weddings coming up . I mean , we -- wed have to wait for everybody to reschedule . You know what ? Unless there s no other option .
Will : Wait , there is another option . I just had an inspiration .
Victor : You know , I know better than anyone that my nephew is an insensitive oaf , and that s on good days , but he does love you , and his heart seems to be in the right place for once .
Sarah : [ Exhales sharply ] I do nt think xander really knows what it means to love someone .
Victor : I have known him his entire life . He was born with a chip on his shoulder and he s always been selfish and arrogant . And , let s face it -- a criminal .
Sarah : Your defense of him is very touching .
Victor : Well , I m not done yet . Since he met you , he s changed . He s a different person . I do nt know what you did , what kind of a spell you put on him . He started caring about people other than himself , and I do nt mean just you . Maggie , little rachel . You know , he thinks of that child as his own . You know that , do nt you ?
Sarah : Yes .
Victor : And who else could have gotten past that prison guard to get to maggie in time to save her life ?
Sarah : No one .
Victor : Since he s met you , he s become half of a good person .
Sarah : [ Chuckles ] It s not my job to make him a better person .
Victor : I m not saying that it is . My point is , he s a work in progress , but he s still going to be a bull in a china shop-- sometimes say and do the wrong things -- and who knows if that ll ever change ? But it wo nt be because he does nt care about you or your feelings . In his own messed up way , his love for you is real .
Jack : Xander .
Xander : Oh , jack .
Jack : So , what happened ? I -- I see you did nt run the two - page apology to sarah in the paper .
Xander : Yeah , well , I thought about what you said about trying to give sarah something she wanted and needed . Actually came up with an idea .
Jack : Oh , I d love to hear it .
Xander : I had the headstone for mickey s grave made . I knew she d want that and i did nt want her to have to go through picking it out .
Jack : Well , xander , you have shown unsuspected depth .
Xander : The least I could do .
Jack : Well , how d it work out ?
Xander : Sarah was grateful . Things did get a little bit better between us . She even agreed to move back into my uncle s house .
Jack : Oh , so she -- she s moving in and looks like you re moving out .
Xander : I messed things up again . I think I ve blown my chances with sarah for good .
Will : Okay , and done . I m officially ordained .
Kayla : From the church of what s happening now ? Yeah , who cares ? I can marry you and justin .
Hope : Legally ?
Will : Yes . Oh , would you mind ? Can you get someone to cover for me at the paper ?
Jennifer : Uh , yeah , yeah , of course . I -- I just ca nt even believe you did that so fast .
Will : I know , right ? I already got the certificate so I m good to go .
Kayla : That is crazy . Thank you for being such a genius , and a brilliant idea !
Will : Oh , I -- thank you for liking the idea .
Kayla : Are you kidding me ? I love it .
Will : Well , uh , I guess I -- i should go and bone up on what i have to say , so I ll see you later .
Kayla : Thank you so much .
Hope : Uh , bye , will .
Kayla : Thank you . Well , hopefully that will be the last fire we put out today .
Jennifer : Right , well , I have your dress and I made the dry cleaner let me take a look at it before he even put it in the bag , and it s -- it s perfect .
Hope : Oh , and here . I , um , brought this so we can have a little celebration of our own before I have to go and-- gosh , I am so sorry that I ca nt be there today .
Kayla : I understand . Listen , I think that kate would probably resort to violence if you backed out on her now .
Hope : Yeah , well , if you think I m cranky , you should see steve .
Kayla : I did . I was with him when kate convinced him he had to go .
Hope : Was that when you invited him to the wedding ?
Jennifer : You did ?
Hope : She did .
Jennifer : What ?
Kayla : Well , it was just -- it was just an impulse , but you know what ? We are both adults and there s no reason we ca nt be friends . But , you know , it s probably better he s not going because it could be awkward for justin , you know ?
Steve : How you guys doing ?
Sonny : We re good . Yeah , I just took dad out for breakfast , you know , being the big day and all .
Steve : Hmm . Yeah , big day . So , uh , can I talk to you for a minute ? In private ?
Sonny : We -- we actually have to get going .
Justin : No , no , no . It s okay . I have time . I m good .
Sonny : Okay . Like , I can get the boutonnieres and then you ll meet me at the flower stand when you re done ?
Justin : Perfect . Thanks again for breakfast .
Sonny : Okay . It s good seeing you , uncle steve .
Steve : You , too , buddy .
Justin : So .
Steve : Before you and kayla get married , there s something i want you to know .
Sarah : So what , am I supposed to settle for xander s messed up version of love ?
Victor : Seems to me you knew what xander was like when you fell in love with him before . Now all the sudden you re appalled that he s insensitive and emotionally deficient . Seems to me you re trying to find excuses to push him away .
Sarah : You know what , victor ? You can just stay out of my life .
Jack : Please , tell me . Tell me what happened this time . Go ahead . I m all ears .
Xander : Well , I d rather not go into the details , but let s just say I stepped in it up to my knees .
Jack : Well , you may be surprised to hear that I ve done that a few times myself . It could turn around with sarah .
Xander : I m not so sure . I love her and I do nt wanna give up on her , but maybe it s for the best -- for her sake , I mean . I have this knack of hurting her even when I mean to do the opposite .
Jack : I hear you .
Xander : You do ? Maybe I was a fool to think that someone like me could ever be with somebody like her .
Jack : You d be quoting from one of my old journals . You know , if jennifer horton could still be putting up with me after all these years , there may be a chance that things could -- could really turn around for you and sarah horton .
Xander : I appreciate you saying that , jack . I really do , but maybe it s time I move on . Well , see you around , mate .
Jack : Right . [ Exhales ] Poor old xander . Sonny , hey !
Sonny : Hey .
Jack : How s the groom ?
Sonny : I do nt know . I just left him with my uncle steve . He said he wanted to talk to him in private .
Jack : Wait , wait , wait . Unc -- uncle steve actually said that ?
Sonny : Yep , so I m just curious what he wanted .
Jack : Yeah , me , too .
Steve : I just want you to know I m happy for you and kayla and I wish you the best .
Justin : Had to be hard for you to say that .
Steve : No , it was nt , because I know you ll be as good to her as you were to my sister .
Justin : Well , I appreciate you saying that , steve . It sounds like you re giving us your blessing .
Steve : And I think adrienne would want me to tell you that you have her blessing , too .
Justin : Thank you , steve . Thank you . Really .
Jennifer : All right .
Kayla : Well ?
Jennifer : All right , what should our first toast be ?
Kayla : I think , um , second chances .
Hope : I ll drink to that .
Jennifer : That s great . Mmm . You know--
Kayla : It ll be a good day .
Jennifer : Mmm , that s so good . You know , it occurred to me the other night that I -- I do nt even know how you and justin fell in love . I mean , you were already a couple by the time I came out of that coma .
Kayla : Well , we started out as , you know , just friends after adrienne died . I mean , I had just filed for divorce from steve so , you know , we had a lot to talk about , and , um , I do nt think things really got deeper in the relationship until he came over with some lasagna that he made himself .
Jennifer : Oh , justin s lasagna .
Kayla : Yeah .
Jennifer : It s amazing .
Kayla : Is nt it ? I know , it s crazy , is nt it ? But , you know , everything was still platonic at that time , um , and then one day I -- I got this call from him and he sounded so upset . It turned out that he had got these tickets in the mail that he had ordered for a summer jazz concert that he had planned this , you know , special night for adrienne . So he asked if I would consider going . I mean , I do nt really like jazz , but I , um -- I said okay , but I m really glad I did . It was -- it was a magical night and I found myself enjoying things that I --I never considered before .
Hope : Jazz , or being with justin ?
Kayla : You know , both , really . I mean , we re at a picnic , then we -- we danced in the moonlight , and justin told me how I had brought him back to life after losing adrienne , and you know ? He did the same for me . And then when I got the divorce paper back that steve had signed , I just felt like moving ahead with justin was the right thing to do . Felt right , you know ?
Hope : Kayla ... to a happy life . A happy future . Jennifer : Yes , and , um , the magic of jazz .
Kayla : And do nt forget the lasagna .
Jennifer : The lasagna .
Hope : The lasagna , yes . And , mmm -- on that note , i unfortunately have to leave . There is a key waiting .
Kayla : Oh , right , right . Oh , no , oh , no , no , no , no , no .
Jennifer : What , what ? What s wrong ?
Kayla : I totally forgot I was gon na pick up justin s wedding present at the jeweler and now it s too late .
Jennifer : No , no , it s not too late because I m gon na walk down with hope and I m gon na pick it up for you .
Kayla : Are you sure ?
Jennifer : Yes , I m positive . I m gon na get it and I m gon na bring it right back .
Kayla : Okay , baby . You are the bomb . You know that ? Thank you .
Jennifer : Come on , no worries .
Kayla : Thank you . Okay . So I think it s smooth sailing from here on out , do nt you think ?
Hope : Yes .
Jennifer : Absolutely .
Hope : I love you .
Kayla : I love you .
Jennifer : I love both of you . I love both of you !
Kayla : Group hug , group hug .
Hope : I ll have lunch with you tomorrow , okay ?
Kayla : Thank you .
Hope : When you , um , will be a newlywed . Okay .
Kayla : Yeah , newlywed .
Hope : Yeah . Bye .
Kayla : Bye . Smooth sailing from here on out .
Sarah : Look , I came downstairs to tell you that mom s cold got worse so she has to stay in bed . I do nt want it to turn into bronchitis .
Victor : So she has to miss the wedding ?
Sarah : Yes . I m gon na go to the hospital now and move some appointments around so I can stay here and take care of her .
Victor : Thank you .
Sarah : You re welcome . Now , can we please stop talking about xander ? Because I honestly do nt know why you re working so hard to defend him .
Victor : Xander s changed because of you . I ve changed because of your mother . Like xander , I ve made a lot of mistakes along the way . Maggie s always forgiven me . When I tell her how important that is to me , she always says she d rather be with an imperfect man that she loves than miserable and alone . Think about that .
Xander : [ Exhales ]
Justin : Hey , sonny .
Sonny : Hey , what -- what did uncle steve want ?
Justin : He was great . He actually wished me and kayla a happy future .
Sonny : See ? So he s not gon na cause trouble between you two .
Justin : Uh - uh . I mean , he seemed really sincere about wanting the best for us .
Sonny : Well , that s great news . So are you gon na relax and enjoy your wedding day now ?
Justin : I do feel like a certain weight has been lifted .
Sonny : Great , well , then , let s get you to the mansion and get you married .
Justin : Can I meet you at the house later ?
Sonny : If you have an errand to run , I will take care of it for you .
Justin : No , no , I just , um-- I want to put some flowers next to your mom s headstone . I need to just tell her that , uh , I ll always love her . [ Grunts ] See you soon .
Sonny : Okay .
Jack : All right . It is true . You ve widened your repertoire from camp town ladies .
Steve : Well , it s official . You know nothing about the blues , jack .
Jack : That is true . I do know this . Sonny told me you just requested a private chat with justin .
Steve : Yeah .
Jack : It s okay . You do nt have to tell me what you said .
Steve : It s all right . I wished him well . I told him I m happy for him and kayla .
Jack : In other words , you lied through your teeth .
Jennifer : Okay , let me text kayla really quick , let her know I have justin s gift , and then we can--
Hope : I m sorry but can we talk first ?
Jennifer : Yeah , about what ?
Hope : I m feeling guilty about kayla s situation .
Jennifer : About missing the wedding ? She totally understands--
Hope : No , no , no , no , no , no . Not that , not that . Jen , steve is nt being honest about his feelings . He still loves kayla . I know jack told you .
Jennifer : Yes , I did nt know you knew . I m so glad that you know because now I can talk to you about it because I feel as guilty as you do , but jack said it is not our place to say anything , and I do nt know . I -- I guess I understand . I do nt know , but then we were just with kayla and she was telling us how much she loves justin so I do nt wanna mess that up .
Hope : Do you think she d be getting married today if she had all the facts ?
Jennifer : I honestly do nt know , but I do think it s a mistake if we do nt tell her the truth . Mr. Kiriakis ?
Xander : Call me xander . You come highly recommended . Well , invite me in and I ll live up to my recommendation .
Sonny : Will , why are nt you at work ?
Will : Oh , uh , well , I was just telling victor that the justice of the peace ca nt do the wedding , so I got ordained online .
Sonny : You re kidding me .
Will : No . I m gon na marry your dad and kayla .
Sonny : You re -- wait , you re really ordained ?
Will : Yeah , you can call me reverend will , if you want . Or pastor .
Sonny : Uh , I think not .
Victor : And maggie s sick and she ca nt come to the wedding . Hope nothing else goes wrong . I know how important this day is to justin .
Steve : I was nt lying , jack . I do want the best for them . Still , if you had your druthers , you d be the one marrying kayla today .
Steve : Do nt start .
Jack : I wonT. Still , got ta say , justin and kayla are getting married in a few hours , which means that if you re the least bit inclined to fight for her , this would be your last chance .
Kayla : [ Snarls ]
Hope : I see steve every single day and I know this is killing him . It s just been so hard not to say anything to kay , but he swore me to secrecy .
Jennifer : Right , that sounds just like jack , but I hate the thought of kayla and justin getting married when she has no idea how much steve wants her back .

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Fox : Oh , whitney , how much longer do I have to wait to turn my fantasies into reality ? What do I have to do to make you love me instead of chad ?
Chad : Baby , stop worrying . Your parents have been together for a long time . Their love is deep and their marriage is strong . They ll work out their problems .
Whitney : I justopope it happens soon . I mean , the tone in my mom s voice really worried me .
Chad : Look , if there s a couple to worry about , it s gwen and ethan . I mean , yeah , they re married with a baby on the way , but theresa still has it in her head that she s going to be with ethan . Now , I m not saying my man ethan would leave his wife and baby to hook up with theresa , but the thought alone is enough to make gwen trip .
Whitney : Yeah , I just wish theresa would stop living in a fantasy world for her own good . I mean , I ca nt believe she really thinks that fate is going to bring ethan to los angeles so that they can be together . I mean , how ridiculous is that ?
Theresa : Oh , ethan .
Grace : Eve ? Was that T.C. You were talking to ?
Eve : No . No , it was whitney . She just called me to see how I was doing . She -- she thought that I was nt myself when she left for L.A.
Grace : Did you tell her you and T.C. Were having problems ?
Eve : Yes , but , of course , I did nt tell her that liz and her threats to expose my past were at the root of them .
Grace : No , I m sure you could nt tell her that over the phone .
Eve : I hope liz is nt trying to use this rift T.C. And I have over whitney to move in on my husband .
Liz : Do you think I m hot and sexy ?
T.C. : You are very hot and very , very sexy .
Luis : Hey , buddy , thanks a lot for setting me straight about paying more attention to beth now that she s pregnant . And it s only fair now that we know that sheridan s in paris .
Hank : Right . Fresh strawberries are nice . More original than flowers or candy .
Luis : Yeah , well , you know , since mama and theresa both craved them when they were pregnant , I figure beth will , too .
Hank : I got news for you , bubuddy -- these look so good , I m starting to have a craving myself .
Luis : Now you keep your grubby little hands off of those , all right ? Those are for beth to show her that I care about her and the baby .
Hank : Fine . Let me starve . Think we should call beth , let her know we re coming ?
Luis : Nah . Let s surprise her instead . I want to see the look on her face .
Beth : I ca nt let sheridan lose the baby . I need it to trick luis into thinking that it s ours so he ll marry me once sheridan turns up dead . I got to find out why precious and mother are taking so long boiling the water and ripping up the towels . If sheridan does nt deliver the baby soon , it s going to be too late .
Mrs. Wallace : Hey , precious , is that water boiling yet ? Why not ? Oh , you stupid simian . You got to fire it up !
Beth : Ok , what is the holdup with the water and the towels , and where is charlie ?
Charlie : What s wrong ? Edna here left a message saying to hurry over .
Beth : Sheridan started labor , but something s not right . She s bleeding really bad , and I m afraid if we do nt do something fast , sheridan and the baby are going to die .
Sheridan : Oh , my god . Oh , my god ! Oh , I m losing my baby !
Singer : I would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird I knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life 8
grace : Come on , eve , this is T.C. That we re talking about . I really do nt thi h he s going to do anything to jeopardize your marriage .
Eve : Grace , I trust T.C. , But liz is quite another story . She has already made it very clear to me that she wants to take T.C. Away from me , as if ruining my life will somehow make up for ruining hers , for her being molested by our fher . And I did nt know , grace . I did nt know . I would ve done something .
Grace : I know , I know , eve , you would ve helped .
Eve : But I did nt , and she ca nt get past that . Liz used whitney and simone s falling - out over chad to plant the idea in T.C. S head that I am a bad mother and my long hours at the hospital as proof that I am a bad wife . At the rate that liz is going , I m afraid that she could manipulate T.C. Into almost anything .
T.C. : Wait a minute .
Liz : What ? What is it , T.C. ?
T.C. : What is it ? I almost kissed you again . This -- I ca nt do this . This is not like me at all .
Liz : I understand . I mean , it s like you said -- it just keeps getting hotter and hotter out here . And we needed relief from the heat and we found it in a kiss . A very nice kiss .
T.C. : Yeah . Yeah , that kiss was -- it was nice , all right .
T.C. : Liz , I -- I ca nt be kissing you . I m hap-- I m -- I m a married man .
Liz : I understand , T.C.
T.C. : You do ?
Liz : Sure . Why do nt I just pour you a little more lemonade , and we ll forget all about that kiss .
Liz : This should make T.C. Drop his inhibitions -- and his pants . Here you are .
T.C. : Thanks .
Liz s voice : After another glass of my special lemonade , you ll forget all about being a married man and you ll kiss me again .
Sheridan : Oh , god , please do nt let my baby die ! God , I wish luis would save me ! But after seeing that D.V.D. Of me supposedly in paris , no one is going to think that I need rescuing . I m all alone except for that freak clown that s keeping me prisoner ! Oh , god !
Beth : So ? You saw her . What do we do ?
Charlie : There s nothing we can do . Looks like blondie s about to kick the bucket and take her baby with her .
Beth : Damn it . Sheridan s ruining my whole plan . This is out there on global - I m seanna collins .

Fox : Well , I guess we re both lucky then . You re looking incredible , by the way .
Whitney : Oh , thank you . You re not looking so bad yourself .
Fox : Here to work out , I see .

Chad : All right , we have spent a lot of time tonight worrying about theresa and her fantasies about ethan , and about your folks . Look , I want everyone to be happy , ok , but right now I want to concentrate on our happiness .

Chad : Does that make you happy ?
Whitney : Uh -- yeah , kind of .

Mrs. Wallace : Come on , precious . Grab the towels , follow me downstairs before beth goes off on us for being such slowpokes , ok ?
Mrs. Wallace : Oh , dear heavens , no , it s luis . Oh , no , and hank bennett is with him ! Come on , you orangutan , get your tushy downstairs ! We got to tell beth and charee that things have gone from bad to worse . Come on ! Where are the towels ? Here we go . Come on , precious .

Beth : Yeah . I know , I know . But I really have my heart set on having sheridan s baby . And if there s nothing we can do to save them , then our whole plan is ruined .
Charlie : Yeah , without blondie s baby for us to raise together , then there s really no reason for us to keep her alive anymore .
Beth : Right .
Beth s voice : And my real plan to fool luis into thinking it s my baby wo nt work , either .
Beth : Ok . I guess it s time we cut our losses .
Beth : Damn you , sheridan . This is the last time you ruin things for me .
Rhonda : Next time on 100 hundred lit street , the grand finale of la danse . We ll have highlights from the final stop on the cross - canada tour . The author of a new book hope for the home front . We ll talk to her about that . That s next time on 100
grace : Look , eve , I do nt know if this will help , but you re not alone . You know , I understand that you re afraid that liz will try to manipulate T.C. Into doing something he would nt ordinarily do . I ve been afraid that ivy would do the same thing with sam . But I thk k the key is not to be afraid . I think we have to fight to save our marriages , and I m going to fight to save my marriage with sam .
Sam : You know , it s twice now that we thought it was too late for kay s baby , but she proved us wrong . Maybe there s a lesson in that . Maybe it s not too late for us after all .
Grace : Well , since the baby seems stable for now , sam and I are going to go home , try to work things out . And you know what , I think you should do the same thing . Go home , spend some time with T.C.
Eve : I think -- I think I ll go and check on kay s baby one more time and , ifhehe s ok , then I think I will go home to my husband and try and repair the damage my marriage suffered over our disagreement about whitney .
Sam : Night .
Eve : Night .
Eve s voice : And to make sure liz is nt taking advantage of my absence with T.C.
Liz : I have a confession to make , T.C.
T.C. : What is it ?
Liz : Well , you know earlier when you said that you thought that I m hot and sexy ?
T.C. : Yeah , I remember .
Liz : Well , I have to confess , I think you are the hottest , sexiest man I ve ever met .
Luis : Beth ? I do nt understand why she s not answering . The door s wide open and , yeah , here car s here , lights are on .
Hank : Hmm . Maybe she s having some sort of problem with her mother .
Luis : You re right . We should go in and see if we can help . Beth ?
Sheridan : What are you doing ? God , no .
Beth : I m doing what I should ve done a long time ago .
Mrs. Wallace : Psst ! Hank and luis are at the back door !
Beth : What ?
Charlie : Hank ? Wonder if that s the same man who caught me on the wharf smashing blondie dolls . Does nt matter . I might as well try to save sheridan s baby .
Beth : Can you do that ?
Mrs. Wallace : What about hank and luis ?
Charlie : Nothing to lose by trying . I mean , that s the least of our problems now . Those men are here .
Mrs. Wallace : People say I m deaf . Hmm .
Beth : I m going to go get rid of them , ok ?
Luis : Beth ! Beth , where are you ?
Beth : Luis is in the house ! If he comes down here , sheridan s going to hear him !
Luis : She s not upstairs . I do nt understand where she could be .
Hank : Maybe she ju t took her mom out for ice cream or something . Do nt you think you re overreacting ?
Luis : Maybe .
Hank : I m sure they re fine .
Luis : You know what ? She s probably downstairs dealing with that vermin problem . Come on , come with me . We ll go check it out , all right ?
Hank : No , no , no , no , I think I ll let you check that one out on your own . I ll head to the book cafe . If beth s there , I ll give you a call .
Luis : All right , buddy . Thanks a lot for the help .
Hank : Anytime , man .
Luis : All right , rats , here I come . a We re fascinated with their lives . Yet even more intrigued with their deaths . What has killed 17 whales off nova scotia this summer ? Scientists checking now . Revealing their findings tonight . On global national with kevin newman .
Singer : You are my passion for life
fox : Well , working out did nt help me get my mind off of whitney . Ugh .
Whitney : Fox , I ve been looking all over for you .
Fox : Well , you found me . What are you going to do with me ?
Whitney : Oh , I have a list of things . Some of them naughty , but all of them nice .
Fox : Whitney , you are one incredible woman .
Whitney : And you , fox , are one lucky man .
Fox : Oh , whitney . I do nt know how much longer I can wait for you .
Whitney : Despite all the problems with my family , it s imimes like these when I realize that I know I made the right decision coming to L.A. With you .
Chad : You and me both . Two people who love each other as much as we do should always be together .
Whitney : And we will be . I love you so much . No one will ever tear me away from you . No one .
Chad : Right back at you , baby .
Eve : The baby s still stable , so I think it s safe for us to leave . So good luck , you two .
Grace : Yeah , you and T.C. , Too .
Eve : Thanks for letting me unburden myself earlier .
Grace : Hey , that s what friends are for .
Eve : Night .
Sam : Is eve ok ?
Grace : No . Not exactly . I mean , all the pressure and tension she s been under lately are really starting to take a toll on her .
Sam : Huh . Think we know a little something about that , do nt we ? Hey -- let s go home and talk , ok ? Hopefully , we can get our marriage back on track again .
Grace : Yeah . And I hope eve and T.C. Can , too .
T.C. : You find me sexy ?
Liz : T.C. , I think you are an incredibly attractive man . And not just because of your hard , lean body , but because of the way I ve seen you treat eve with so much love and compassion . It s so selfless . You know , you keep on giving , no matter how little you get back in return . Now , that s not to put eve down , and I m sure she wishes that she could spend more time with you , but we well know that being a doctor consumes most of her time and energy .
T.C. : Yeah . Yeah , you got that right .
Liz : Oh , T.C. I know that you and eve have been at odds lately about whitney , but -- no . Sorry , it s none of my business . I should nt be saying anything at all .
T.C. : No , liz , please . You know what , I want to hear anything you have to say .
Liz : Well , being a doctor , eve is used to getting the final say on many things . You know , and since she spends so much of her time on her job , I was curious if you thought that maybe she was taking the same attitude with you and your marriage ? You know , about having that final say ? Like giving whitney her blessing to go to los angeles without consulting you first . You treat eve like a partner , T.C. , But sometimes it does nt seem like she treats you as her equal . Now , I m sure it s unconscious on her part , but -- no . I m sorry , T.C. I should nt have said anything at all .
T.C. : No , no , liz . You know what , liz , you -- damn it , you re absolutely right . I treat eve with -- with love , respect , and honor . And damn it , she treats me like some little kid , always telling me I need to control my temper and -- and I m so bullheaded when it comes to whitney s tennis . She s always talking down to me . But you donT.
Liz : I m sorry , T.C. But I m glad that I can be here for you to talk to .
T.C. : And , liz , I m glad you re here , too .
Luis : Beth , you down there ?
Beth : Sheridan -- sheridan s passed out again . I ve got to get rid of luis before she comes to .
Luis : Beth ?
Beth : Um -- do nt come down here , luis .
Luis : Well , why not ?
Beth : I have a surprise for you and , um , I do nt want you to see it .
Luis : Ok , I wo nt come down here . But I got a surprise for you , too , up in the kitchen , so come upstairs and get it , ok ?
Beth : Ok . And shut the door , ok , to the basement because I do nt want the rats going up there .
Luis : Ok .
Beth : Charlie , can you get sheridan out of the pit and take her someplace where you can try and save the baby ?
Charlie : You keep those men in the kitchen and I ll get sheridan into my car .
Beth : Ok , ok . Sound like a plan .
Charlie : Anything for you , bethie .
Beth : Oh . Ok . Ok , ok . Mother , you and precious , you come with me . You help me distract luis and hank for charlie to have enough time to get sheridan out of here . Let s go . Come on , precious , let s go .
Charlie : Well , blondie , I guess it s just the three of us . At least for now . Hey , they got cable !
whitney : Did you hear that thump ?
Chad : Yeah , I wonder what it was .
Whitney : Well , sounded like it came from theresa s room .
Chad : Well , we d better check on her . Here .
Fox s voice : Damn it ! Chad made love to whitney when all I could do was dream about it . Enjoy it while you can , chad . Sooner or later , whitney will be mine .
Whitney : Oh , fox . Hi . Chad and I thought we heard a noise in theresa s room .
Fox : Yeah , yeah , so did I.
Whitney : Well , we were going to check it out .
Fox : Great minds think alike .
Whitney : Ok .
T.C. : You know what , liz ? I want to tell you something .
Liz : Anything , T.C.
T.C. : Ever since you came to harmony , you have always been there whenever I needed to talk . And the truth is I know that you will always be there and give it to me when I need it .
Liz : That ll never change , T.C. I m here for you for anything that you need -- anything at all .
Eve : Now to find T.C. And make things right before liz has a chance to move in on my husband .
Beth : Luis , hey ! Oh , precious and mother were downstairs with me helping me with the surprise .
Mrs. Wallace : It s a doozy .
Luis : Well , I brought you these . Just what the doctor ordered .
Beth : Doctor ?
Luis : What ? It s an expression , you know ?
Beth : Oh , yeah .
Luis : What , you re not craving strawberries ? Mama and theresa , man , they went crazy for them when they were pregnant .
Beth : Oh , strawberries !
Mrs. Wallace : Yeah .
Beth : Yeah , the baby and I have been craving them .
Luis : See ?
Beth : Mmm . That s delicious !
Luis : Mm - hmm . I told hank they were going to hit the spot .
Mrs. Wallace : Hank -- hank s here ?
Luis : Actually , he went looking for you .
Beth : You are so good to me , luis , to me and our baby .
Luis : Ok .
Luis : [ Southern accent ] Precious . Precious , I m sorry to keep you waiting . Wow . Atlanta was burning , charleston was surrounded . And appomattox -- well , it was like a war zone . But I brought you these . Yes . Guess what they are . Strawberries . Oh , glorious strawberries . And they re all for you , my pantaloon pretty . Here . Take one . Yes . Oh , precious . Precious , I love you so much . Yes . And I know you do love strawberries . You re the mint in my julep . Precious , you re the gravy in my grits . Oh , look at you . You re my mate . You re the mother of my child . Precious .
Mrs. Wallace s voice : I wonder if charlie horse will be able to get sheridan out of here without luis seeing her .
Charlie : I need something to cover sheridan with before I haul her to the car . Oh , damn . I ll have to get a blanket out of my car .
Charlie : There . Just in case .
Sheridan s voice : What happened ? I ca nt see . I ca nt hear . My hands a bound . Oh , my feet are nt , though .
Sheridan s voice : A door . I m not in the pit anymore . Maybe I can still escape , save myself and my baby .
Beth : Mmm . Strawberries and cream cheese . Oh , this baby has been craving both of them . You are so thoughtful , luis .
Sheridan s voice : This door . Does it lead back to where I was being held or does it lead to freedom ?
Chad : I wonder what that thump was we heard in theresa s room .
Whitney : Well , I thought theresa might ve forgotten where she was , got up , and knocked into something . I do nt know .
Fox : Maybe we should go check on her .
Whitney : Ok .
Whitney : Oh , my god .
Sam : Grace , I want you to know something -- I ll always love you , no matter what happens . It s just that talking about our problems again may not be enough to solve them .
Grace : Look , sam , it s so important that we do nt give up .
Sam : The night that sheridan turned up missing , I asked you a question -- whether you still loved me the same way you did before david came to town .
Grace : And you had to leave before I could answer .
Sam : And kay had the baby , and we have nt had a chance to talk since .
Grace : I know , sam , and I want to figure out what s going on with our future as much as you do . I mean , and so many couples in harmony are at a crossroads tonight now -- us , eve and T.C.
Sam : I want all of our marriages to get back on track again . There was a time when our marriage and the russells marriage were as solid as a rock , I mean , the envy of everyone in harmony . Look , I want that back again .
Grace : I do , too . I hope that when eve gets home that she and T.C. Can start healing .
Sam : Let s go home .
Eve : T.C. S not upstairs . Now , whereouould he be ? Oh , he must be out back .
Charlie : Time to bundle blondie up and get the hell out of here .
Charlie : Oh , my god ! If sheridan s not here , where is she ?
Sheridan s voice : I have to escape , get help for my baby .
Luis : All right .
Beth : Yay .
Mrs. Wallace : Excuse me .
Luis : Mm - hmm .
Mrs. Wallace : Whoo .
Beth : Well . Does nt this look good ?
Luis : Mm - hmm .
Mrs. Wallace : Yeah , especially those pickles . You know how much the baby loves the pickles .
Luis : Mmm .
Beth : Ooh .
Luis : Wow .
Beth : Mmm . Yummy , yummy .
Liz : T.C. , I enjoyed every minute we spent together .
Grace : I have absolutely no sympathy for you , ivy .

Theresa : Ethan and I are back together again .

Adrienne : Oh , honey , are you okay ? You look really pale .
Abigail : Uh , yeah , IM ... I m fine , I just -- Ive been working a lot lately , so I m a little ...
Adrienne : And that s not all you ve been doing , is it ?
Abigail : What do you mean ?
Adrienne : Sami told me about your secret .
Sami : EJ . What are you doing here ?
EJ : Uh , well , um ...
Sami : Um , I saw a bunch of men leaving . Were you having a meeting with them ? I mean , I guess you must have been , right , cause there s only one door . There s only one way in or out .
EJ : [ Grunts ]
Sami : EJ ?
EJ : Hmm ?
Sami : Are you all right ?
EJ : Oh , no . Yes .
Sami : I do nt recognize any of those men from being on the hospital board . What was the meeting about ?
EJ : Um ...
Brady : Hey .
Theresa : Brady , hey .
Brady : Hi .
Theresa : What are you doing here ?
Brady : I , uh -- I m on the board .
Theresa : Oh .
Brady : I hade a meeting . I m glad I ran into you , actually .
Theresa : Yeah ?
Brady : I sent you a couple texts . We were supposed to hang out the other night , and I got swamped with work , and--
Theresa : Yeah , look , I m sorry I did nt get back to you yet . I ve just been a little bit busy today .
Jennifer : Jennifer Horton . Hi , Kayla . Yes , I am looking at it right now . Oh , that s really terrific . Thank you for letting me know . [ Sighs ]
Eric : Kayla s seen it too ?
Jennifer : Yeah , who has nt ? Supposedly , when you log into the hospital , it s the first image that you see .
Eric : Oh , no , I m s--
Jennifer : And to make it even worse , that photo is now on every one of my bosses desks in duplicate .
Daniel : Nicole ... this looks like a letter from Dr. Chyka to Kristen that was torn up ... and then put back together . Where did you get it ?
Eric : The photo editing is awful . Allie could have done a better job . Obviously , whoever did this is not trying to fool anyone .
Jennifer : It s just so petty and--
Eric : What ?
Jennifer : It s not just the pictures . There are the nastiest comments on the hospital message board about me .
Eric : Who would do that ?
Jennifer : Trust me , I have a few ideas .
Brady : Yeah , I ve been , uh , a little busy myself , but if you re willing to let me drag you out of here , I would love to take you to lunch .
Theresa : Oh , that would be awesome . I could definitely stand to get out of here for a while .
Brady : Let s go .
Nicole : Why were you going through my desk ?
Daniel : I was nt . I was looking for a piece of paper to leave you a note ... to ask you and Eric to come to dinner .
Nicole : Oh .
Daniel : Answer me , Nicole . What is this ?
Adrienne : Oh , honey , do nt worry about a thing . Your secret is safe with me . I would nt dream of telling EJ .
Abigail : EJ ?
Adrienne : Mm - hmm .
Abigail : But if Sami told you that I m -- wait . How did EJ come up in the conversation ?
Adrienne : Sami mentioned she did nt want EJ to know .
Abigail : But he s -- why did Sami tell you ?
Adrienne : Well , we were working on Sonny and will s wedding together , and it just came out .
Abigail : It just came out ? How ?
Adrienne : Well , you know Sami . I asked her one question , and she just blurted out everything .
Abigail : [ Sighs ]
EJ : It was a confidential meeting .
Sami : [ Chuckles ] Is nt that the point of getting married-- so we share each other s secrets ?
EJ : Ah , I see . I will remind you that you said that one day .
Sami : [ Laughs ]
EJ : So , now , uh , what are you doing here ?
Sami : Oh , I was , you know , talking to Abigail , trying to help her figure out what to do .
EJ : Okay . And ?
Sami : Well , we did nt get very far . We were interrupted , actually , cause you needed the room for your mysterious meeting . What is that ?
EJ : Oh , I would nt . Samantha , I ...
Sami : Oh , my God , is ... is this what you did nt want to ... tell me ? Did I do this to you ?
Brady : I almost forgot , yeah . [ Sighs ]
Theresa : [ Laughs ]
Brady : [ Mutters ]
Theresa : Where did this come from ?
Brady : I have no idea . It was just sitting over there , so I thought I d give it to-- it s magic .
Theresa : Is this what I think it is ?
Brady : Open it up and see .
Theresa : Brady , thank you so much . I love it .
Eric : I m so sorry , Jenn . I do nt understand why anyone would want to do this .
Jennifer : Oh , come on , Eric , this is nothing compared to what you just went through , okay ? This is part of my job . I - I put out fires . I can handle this .
Eric : You think Daniel has seen this ?
Jennifer : Oh , gosh , I hope not . This is the last thing that he needs to worry about right now .
Daniel : Nicole .
Nicole : [ Crying ]
Daniel : Nicole !
Nicole : I ca nt . I ca nt take this anymore .
Daniel : Wha -- you ca nt take what anymore ?
Nicole : God , after today , after what Marlena tried to do , I am done . I will tell you the truth , but you -- you have to swear that you wo nt breathe a word of this to Eric .
Daniel : No , I ca nt . I m not doing it . I ca nt do that , Nicole .
Nicole : You do nt even know what I m going to say .
Daniel : If it is something he deserves to know ... no , I am not going to lie .
Nicole : Okay , believe me . Believe me , Daniel , if it was something that I thought he should know , I would tell him myself . It s all I ve been thinking about lately . But I finally realized this-- this is just something that Eric ca nt know about .
Daniel : Why ? Why not ? Tell me why .
Nicole : Because ... it would break his heart .
Daniel : No . You got to help me . You got to give me more .
Nicole : Daniel , please ...
Daniel : I do not understand .
Nicole : Just promise that you -- you will keep this secret , please .
Daniel : No , I will not . I will not promise that . You can not leave me hanging now . After all of this ? No , you ca nt !
Nicole : All right , all right , all right .
Daniel : You have to tell me now !
Nicole : I will tell you . I will tell you ! I trust you . I trust your judgment . I will tell you everything . Wisest kid ?
Nicole : [ Sighs ] I , uh -- I was ... going through my fan mail earlier ... you know , the usual -- bad chocolates , wardrobe complaints , and marriage proposals , you know , and , uh ... and there was this letter .
Daniel : And where did you get it ?
Nicole : I do nt know . I mean , I guess the intern must have thrown out the envelope , and ... so we ll never know who sent this or ... or why it even looks like this .
Daniel : Well , there s almost enough here . I mean , not quite . It seems to have some sort of connection between Chyka and DiMera .
Nicole : I know , but it s still not enough proof that they worked together to drug Eric .
Daniel : Okay , you -- you do nt have any idea ... who would send this to you ?
Nicole : Yeah ... I think I do . I think it was Stefano . I mean , who else could get his hands on a letter like this ?
Daniel : Okay . But why ? Why would he do that ? Why would he send it to you ?
Nicole : He came to visit me today .
Daniel : He -- okay . What the hell did he want ? Tell me .
Nicole : He accused me of running Kristen off the road and out of town . And he was furious that we went after Chyka . And , of course , he s hated me since--
Daniel : Oh , my God , what-- did he threaten you at all ?
Nicole : Oh , no .
Daniel : Did he threaten you ?
Nicole : No , no , he just gloated ... because he believed that today was the day that he and Marlena would destroy my life , but he was wrong .
Daniel : Okay , hold on -- wait-- hold on , he , Marlena-- plea -- what in the world does all of that have to do with this letter ?
Nicole : You do nt see it , do you ?
Daniel : No , I do not see .
Nicole : He was taunting me ... reminding me that we almost died getting proof that he had all along , that we will never get . So this ... this is ... useless .
Daniel : Maybe . But ...
Nicole : But what ?
Daniel : Why are you so desperate to keep this all from Eric ?
Eric : Hey , Nicole , it s me . Your phone went straight to voice mail , so I assume you must be busy . I just wanted to let you knoww that I was thinking about you .
Maxine : Putting the trash where it belongs , and , honey , everybody knows that s exactly what it is .
Anne : You set me up .
Jennifer : Oh , excuse me ?
Anne : I just spent the last ten minutes being grilled like a t - bone . Yeah , Seth burns and Kayla Brady , they have been all over me like the cheap suits they are , while here you are , the center of the universe yet again . And you only wish you would look this good .
Maxine : I think you re projecting .
Anne : You know what this is ? You know what this is ? This is the work of a lazy , untalented hack ! And since I have taken over H.R. , The only one of those on this hospital s payroll is you .
Maxine : Are you sure about that ?
Anne : If I wanted to make you look bad , I would not need to stoop to these sloppy shenanigans . Trust me , you do a fine job of that on your own .
Jennifer : [ Scoffs ]
Maxine : Can you believe that ?
Jennifer : Well , unfortunately , I can .
Maxine : [ Laughs ]
Jennifer : Do you have any idea where Theresa is ?
Maxine : Speaking of lazy employees , I think she said she was going to lunch at the Brady pub .
Jennifer : Okay , well , then I will be out of my office , and if anyone needs to reach me , they can call me on my cell .
Maxine : Got it .
Anne : [ Sighs ]
Liam : Anne .
Anne : Can I -- can I help you ?
Liam : Yeah , I just caught the tail end of the drama back there . What in the world is going on with Jennifer Horton ?
Theresa : You know , I m gon na take better care of this baby than Sami takes care of her kids . Now , this is how every day should be -- a handsome guy showering me with gifts .
Brady : Not to mention wining and dining you in your grandma s elegant pub .
Theresa : Yes , well , I ll save my Irish toast for the end of my miserable work day , thanks .
Brady : That good , huh ?
Theresa : Yeah , I -- let s just say that you saved me in a timely fashion . You know , you made me feel appreciated for the first time since ... I do nt know when .
Brady : That s a shame .
Theresa : Oh , well ... I m sure you get how that feels ... better than just about anybody .
Brady : Yeah .
Theresa : You know , I d like to make you feel appreciated too , Brady . And I really hope we get to finish what your father so rudely interrupted .
Abigail : Sami just -- just blurted it out ?
Adrienne : Well , I had to pull it out of her a little bit , but , honey , it s nothing to be upset about .
Abigail : Oh , well , I m glad one of us can be so calm .
Adrienne : Oh , I know it s gon na take up quite a bit of your time , but ...
Abigail : Oh , my God . Yeah , that s an interesting way to put it , aunt Adrienne .
Adrienne : Sweetie , despite how I feel about EJ , I think it s sweet that you and Sami are working on it together .
Abigail : Wha -- you think that it s sweet ?
Adrienne : Yeah , that you re helping her with art . She does nt know anything about it , among many other subjects .
Abigail : Oh .
Adrienne : Oh ?
Abigail : Yes , art . No , um ... you re absolutely right , totally right . Sami does not know a thing about art ... at all . [ Sighs ]
EJ : Uh ...
Sami : If I did something , if I hurt you kicking you out of our bed , I hurt your pride or your manhood or--
EJ : No , my manhood is fine . I mean , intact ... in a very--
Sami : Well , no -- I mean , I know . Obviously I know that , but if you re having problems , I mean , if you ...
EJ : I m not having any--
Sami : Decided that you need medication or help or something--
EJ : I do nt need any medication , actually . I was nt here for myself .
Sami : Why else would you be here ? There s someone back there , and they heard everything that we said . We need to know who it is .
EJ : Hmm ?
Sami : Oh .
EJ : What ? What ?
Sami : I think I understand why you were here . I think I understand what s going on here .
EJ : Look , I can explain .
Sami : You re here for your father , are nt you ?
EJ : What ?
Sami : I mean , obviously Cecily has nt been around lately , and he s not getting any younger . I mean , I - I do nt really even want to have the mental picture that is in my head right now .
EJ : No , okay .
Sami : Blah .
EJ : Well , that makes two of us .
Sami : Yeah . You are a really good son , though , to not make him admit that he is not only not omnipotent , but--
EJ : Okay , he s also an extremely proud man , Samantha . So , if we could please not let him know that you know that--
Sami : Oh , my God , I m not gon na say anything . I really do nt even want to be still having this conversation .
EJ : Okay , neither do I.
Sami : [ Laughs ] I m surprised that he even talked to you about it . I mean , why did nt he just go to his own doctor ?
EJ : Oh , we re doing a drug trial here at the hospital , and , you know , with his diabetes and--
Sami : Oh , right .
EJ : I think we should just probably leave it at that .
Sami : Yes , let s . I m just glad you re okay-- I mean , more than-- of course , more than okay .
EJ : Let s go .
Sami : [ Laughs ] Totally .
EJ : Okay .
Sami : [ Laughing ]
EJ : So you were talking to Abigail earlier , eh ? How is she doing ?
Sami : Um ...
Adrienne : Did you think I meant something else ?
Abigail : No . No , uh - uh .
Adrienne : Honey , you seem a little on edge .
Abigail : Really ?
Adrienne : Uh - huh .
Abigail : I m just tired . L - like I said , I ve been working a lot lately , so ...
Adrienne : Huh . Okay . Okay , listen , you want to keep yourself in good health . For one thing , I m gon na need a sane voice when I m planning a wedding with Sami Brady . [ Laughs ] God help me .
Abigail : The wedding is gon na be beautiful , aunt Adrienne .
Adrienne : Oh , yes . Oh , gosh , speaking of beautiful , I saw the most beautiful bridesmaid s dress , and it will look perfect on your cute little figure . You know what ? I ll email you a picture . How about that ?
Abigail : Great . Thank you .
Adrienne : Okay , sweetie . Have a great day .
Abigail : You too .
Adrienne : Mm , bye .
Abigail : Bye .
Adrienne : Bye .
Sami : Oh , well , actually , she s a wreck . I just offered to be there with her to help her , you know , when she finds out , takes the test .
EJ : Yeah ? And do what exactly-- shout encouragement through the bathroom door ?
Sami : I was just trying to be nice .
EJ : No , I know that , but it s not exactly the sort of circumstances where you want a virtual stranger holding your hand , is it ?
Sami : Uh , actually , I ve been where she is ...
Sami : Three times , in fact , and I just offered to help her , you know ? She should nt be alone in this process , and she s afraid if she confides in her family ... that she ll become the black sheep of the Horton clan . And the father , whoever he is , obviously , he does nt care at all .
EJ : You do nt know that . You do nt .
Sami : Well , then where is he ?
EJ : I do nt know .
Sami : No , it was a rhetorical question . EJ , the point is that , actually , for your information , Abigail and I have been bonding a lot lately .
EJ : Over what ?
Sami : She s helping me with ...
EJ : With what ?
Sami : It s a secret .
EJ : Oh . I thought you and I did nt have secrets .
Sami : Okay , you get secrets , I get secrets .
EJ : All right . Let s get you home , trouble .
Sami : [ Laughs ]
EJ : All right .
Sami : Trouble , huh ? Are nt you forgetting something to take to your dad ?
EJ : Yeah , I think I , uh , can remember every word .
Sami : [ Laughs ]
Nicole : [ Sighs ] Look , you talked to Eric . You saw how upset he was when he found out Marlena came after me .
Daniel : And you re afraid if he knew you had this letter , he d suspect that she s right . Is that what--
Nicole : No , no . Of course not . I m not worried about me . I am worried about Eric . Kristen violated him in the worst possible way -- body , mind , and soul . And now look what s happening . His twin sister is marrying Kristen s brother , his mother is in cahoots with daddy d , the one person who could clear Eric s name .
Daniel : Okay , okay , you know , maybe that s why Marlena was all worked up .
Nicole : No , no , no .
Daniel : Are you sure ?
Nicole : Marlena came after me , and she knows it . She admitted it Stefano would never let us have this proof . He wants Eric to look over his shoulder , to second - guess himself , to -- to relive all this pain . Daniel ... I would never ... I would never let anything happen to Eric . I love him with all my heart .
Daniel : I know .
Nicole : Have nt the DiMeras hurt him enough ? I am not gon na let Stefano do this to him again .
Jennifer : I hope I m not interrupting .
Theresa : You are .
Brady : [ Sighs ]
Theresa : You know , I think I ll go powder my nose ... about 100 times until she s gone .
Jennifer : I know that you probably think Kristen was the worst thing that could ever happen to your life , but I am telling you , trust me , Theresa--
Brady : Jenn . Jenn ! Jenn , do nt . Please , come on , we are good friends . I want to keep it that way . You do nt know anything about me and Theresa , okay ?
Jennifer : No , I do nt , but I know you . And you are a great guy . And I know Theresa , and if you have nt learned your lesson , you will , because she wants three things out of life , besides making my life miserable , and that is sex , money , and drugs . And I only hope that damaging your bank account is the worst thing that she could do to you . Anyway , while I m here , uh , Daniel and I are having a little gathering , and I know it s short notice , but I would love it if you would join us .
Brady : Who s gon na be there ?
Jennifer : Uh , well , hope is gon na be there--
Brady : And let me guess , just take a shot ... my brother Eric ?
Jennifer : I do nt know if Nicole and Eric are gon na make--
Brady : I m sorry . I m gon na have to decline .
Jennifer : Brady , come on , you ca nt keep blaming Eric for everything that--
Brady : Listen , listen , listen , I have a date . I have a date . But if it s important to you that I be there ... I could bring Theresa .
Liam : Jennifer , I just wanted to tell you how sick it makes me that--
Eric : What are you doing here ?
Abigail : [ Sighs ] EJ , there you are . Where have you been ?
EJ : [ Sighs ] I went the only place I could . I climbed out the window .
Abigail : You what ? Are you crazy ? We were on the fifth floor !
EJ : It was fine . There was a ledge , you know ?
Abigail : Oh , a ledge .
EJ : You know , I thought about throwing myself off it several times , but fortunately , eventually that interminable meeting ended .
Abigail : And then what did you do ?
EJ : I climbed back in .
Abigail : Okay , I saw Sami heading that way . Did--
EJ : Yes , that s why I was nt able to make it here sooner .
Abigail : What did you say to her ?
EJ : It s a long story .
Abigail : So she s not suspicious , though ?
EJ : Not yet , no , but , Abigail , if you re pregnant with my child , that s not a secret we re gon na be able to keep from her for very long .
Abigail : Yeah .
Adrienne : Well , I told Victor that he won the wedding host tug - of - war . He was delighted .
Sami : Mm .
Adrienne : And he most generously offered to pay for the whole thing .
Sami : Well , that is very nice of him .
Adrienne : Mm - hmm .
Sami : But I can afford to pay for my son s wedding .
Adrienne : Well , you know , Victor loves Sonny very much , and he was always very supportive , and he just really wants to do this , Sami .
Sami : Okay . Maybe we should talk about the menu .
Adrienne : Yeah , yeah , absolutely . Um , first , I just wanted to mention that I - I did run into Abigail , and I hope you re not upset , but I ... mentioned to her that I knew about the secret that you told me .
Liam : I m Liam Frazer .
Eric : Eric Brady .
Liam : Yeah , I know . I work here . I m -- I m a friend of Jennifer s .
Eric : Oh , you re that guy that she was--
Liam : Seeing for just a minute , yeah . That s me .
Eric : I - I work here too .
Liam : Did you see this ?
Eric : Yeah , it s a shame .
Liam : I - it s sick , is what it is . I mean , what makes people so cruel ?
Eric : I wish I knew .
Liam : Anyway , I just wanted to stop by and make sure she was okay .
Jennifer : I would really love for you to come , and you can bring any date that you want not named Theresa .
Brady : No , thanks , then .
Jennifer : What is going on with you ? Why are you distancing yourself from people who care about you ? What are you doing ?
Theresa : Because he could nt possibly prefer to spend more time with me than you . That s beyond your comprehension , is nt it ?
Nicole : If I show Eric this letter , why would nt he go after Stefano , and then--
Daniel : And then what ? Who cares ?
Nicole : And then this is a fight that he ca nt win ! And then Stefano ...
Daniel : No .
Nicole : Will convince Eric that I m the one who let Chyka go , that I m the reason that Eric ca nt clear his name .
Daniel : Okay , Nicole , stop ! I get it .
Nicole : You do ? You re not gon na tell Eric ?
Daniel : No . I do nt know what that would accomplish .
Nicole : Thank you . [ Crying ] I knew you d understand . Thank you .
Daniel : Now , you know I do nt like keeping secrets like this .
Nicole : I know .
Daniel : Okay . But you re right . Telling Eric would do more harm than good . Of course , if any more information comes to light ...
Nicole : [ Sighs ] Of course , I will -- I will go straight to Eric and -- and the police . I just ... I really just do nt see that happening .
Daniel : Okay . [ Sighs ]
Nicole : Uh , so ... what time is dinner ?
Daniel : Uh , it s around 6 : 00 . Yeah .
Nicole : Okay . Uh , we ll be there . Should be bring anything or ...
Daniel : No , no , no . Just -- just bring yourselves . We re trying to keep it simple , so ...
Nicole : What ?
Daniel : I was just thinking , you re probably right , that Stefano , you know , sent you this letter . But what if ... what if he did nt ? I mean , what if somebody else sent it ?
Nicole : Like who ?
Daniel : I do nt know . But maybe -- maybe somebody has got the information ... and they re trying to help .
Nicole : I - I do nt know how . But I guess that -- that person w - would try and get in contact with me again , but failing that , I do nt know what else we would do .
Daniel : Yeah . All right .
Nicole : Hmm .
Daniel : Well , um , I guess I ll see you tonight .
Nicole : Yeah .
Daniel : All right . I got to get to work .
Nicole : Okay . Looking forward to it .
Daniel : [ Chuckles ]
Nicole : Okay .
Daniel : All right .
Nicole : [ Sighs ] I ca nt even tell Daniel the truth ? My God , how am I gon na face Eric and Marlena if the truth came out ? [ Sighs ]
Eric : Hey , Nicole , it s me . Your phone went straight to voice mail , so you must be busy . I just wanted to let you know that I m thinking about you , and ... I love you .
Nicole : [ Sighs ] I did the right thing . [ Sighs ] Okay , I did the wrong thing for the right reasons . All right , fine . I did the wrong thing for the wrong reasons , but Eric and I love each other , and we deserve this , damn it . And I m gonna -- I m not gon na let anything , not even the truth , get in my way , not ever again .
Eric : Jennifer is out of her office right now .
Liam : Oh , so I gathered .
Eric : You know , when I see her tonight , I ll tell her you stopped by .
Liam : Tonight ?
Eric : Daniel s having a party .
Liam : Oh , good , good . Then she wo nt be sitting home stewing about this nonsense . It s nice to meet you , Eric .
Eric : Yeah , you too .
Theresa : Excuse us .
Jennifer : I need to speak to you .
Theresa : So speak .
Jennifer : It s about work .
Theresa : I m off the clock .
Jennifer : Okay , well , you need to get back on the clock and be in my office in less than 15 minutes .
Theresa : Or what ?
Jennifer : [ Scoffs ] You do nt want to know .
Brady : Um , what the hell was that ?
Theresa : [ Chuckles ] I have no clue , but I guess I ll find out soon enough .
Brady : Mm .
Theresa : So what do you want to do tonight ?
Brady : A lot . I want to pick you up . I want to see what kind of mood we re in , and then I just want to do it .
Theresa : Okay , well , that sounds like a plan . You know how much I love surprises .
Brady : Mm - hmm .
Theresa : Mm . Thanks again for making my day .
Brady : Sure .
Sami : What did Abigail say ?
Adrienne : Not much . She did have a blank stare on her face , though , kind of like you re doing right now .
Sami : Well , you told her you knew that she was helping me learn about art .
Adrienne : Mm - hmm .
Sami : Big deal .
Adrienne : Right , except that it did seem like a big deal , Sami . Unless there s another secret you and Abigail are keeping .
Sami : [ Sighs ]
Abigail : EJ , I m ... I m so sorry . This is such a mess . [ Sighs ]
EJ : Look , it s not your fault .
Abigail : Yes , it is . It is my fault . I - I knew better . I should have just said no . I never should have followed you into your private locker room . I--
EJ : Well , I m just as responsible , you know .
Abigail : [ Sighs ]
EJ : Look , Abigail , would you at least just let me do my part and help you , please ?
Sami : Why in the world would you ask me that ?
Adrienne : Because , Sami , if you re doing something that might hurt my niece , I need to know about it .
Sami : I am helping her .
Adrienne : I thought she was helping you . Uh - huh . There is something . What are you helping her with ?
Sami : [ Chuckles ] If she wants you to know , she ll tell you .
Adrienne : Why on earth would she come to you , of all people ?
Sami : Excuse me ?
Adrienne : It must be serious .
Sami : It s -- it s no big deal .
Adrienne : Does her mother know ?
Sami : [ Sighs ]
Adrienne : All right , I ll just ask Jennifer myself , then .
Sami : Adrienne , wait . All right ... I will tell you what it is . I had this chronic , deep ache all over .
Sami : [ Sighs ] All right , I ca nt get into a lot of detail , but the bottom line is , Abigail is having a difficult time dealing with breaking up with Chad .
Adrienne : She is ?
Sami : Well , she does nt exactly want to broadcast it to the entire world .
Adrienne : So she decided to come to you ? I - I did nt mean that the way it sounded .
Sami : Right .
Adrienne : But she and Jennifer are so close .
Sami : Of course they are . But there are some things that you do nt want to talk to your mother about-- you know , mistakes that you make with a guy or being in love with a DiMera .
Adrienne : So now you re a mini Marlena ?
Sami : I m not offering advice . I am just listening .
Adrienne : Yeah , but why would nt she go to someone her own age ?
Sami : [ Laughs ] I am not that much older than her . We ve bonded a lot lately .
Adrienne : Mm , art lessons , right .
Sami : You know , she is very close with my kids . And as you well know , she is a big supporter of will and Sonny s . EJ and I want to do everything we can to help her .
Abigail : EJ , I - I appreciate you wanting to help . I really do . Um ...
EJ : But ?
Abigail : But I ... I thought about this a lot . I thought about it all last night , and I realized that , before I find out if I m pregnant , first I need to figure out what I m going to do about it if I am .
EJ : That does nt make any sense .
Abigail : Just -- okay . Remember when you suggested that I should go to Europe because you know people there ?
EJ : Uh - huh .
Abigail : Well , I have a lot of friends there too , and if I am pregnant , then I could leave before anyone knew about it . You could stay here , marry Sami , and I could go to Europe , have the baby , and give it up for adoption , and then no one would ever need to know about it .
Brady : [ Sighs , sniffs ] Mm . [ Sighs ] Ah , one more could nt hurt , right ? One more . [ Sighs ]
Theresa : Here I am . Wow . That s obviously not you .
Jennifer : Cut the crap . I know that you did this , and whatever it is you want from it , you re not gon na get it .
Nicole : [ Sighs ] I m gon na burn this one ... and all the rest of them .
Nicole : Eric , hi .
Eric : Hey . You doing okay ?
Nicole : Yeah , I m doing great .
Eric : Really ?
Nicole : Just hearing your voice makes it all better . I got your message . And I just wanted to say , I love you too ... more than anything .

### Dialogue:
JJ : Hey , thanks for making the time to see me .
Hope : Oh , honey , are you kidding ? I m always so happy to see you . What s going on ? Is it Abigail ?
JJ : Oh , no , no . But she is doing better . It s actually about me , and it s nothing bad . I got a letter that my juvenile record was expunged .
Hope : Oh , my God , not bad ? Are you kidding me ? That s fantastic .
JJ : I know . I totally was nt expecting it . Aiden had to pull a lot of strings to make it happen .
Hope : And you re here because ...
JJ : Well , I wanted to get him something to thank him . And I do nt have a lot of cash , and I was hoping that you could tell me what he s into .
Hope : I m afraid you re going to have to ask someone else .
JJ : Whoa , just the look on your face . Do you , like , hate the guy ?
Aiden : [ Sighs ]
Aiden : That s not necessary . I ll throw that in too .
Aiden : Is this your phone number ? I just ca nt picture Abigail Deveraux and EJ DiMera . She always seemed so ...
Theresa : Sweet and innocent ? Listen , if she could screw over my evil cousin Sami , she s even more manipulative ...
Jennifer : Than you ? Not possible .
Theresa : Oh , Jen , Jen , I was just looking for you .
Jennifer : Oh , I ca nt wait to hear why .
Theresa : Well , Anne s out of the office today , and I m in charge of finding your replacement temp .
Jennifer : I need to get to my office .
Theresa : Hey , wait , before you go , I just want to make sure that we re , you know , clear on your criteria . You need somebody who s reliable , of good moral character , and ... [ Clicks tongue ] Oh , yeah , somebody who wo nt be forced to resign in disgrace . Gosh , your daughter really shocked all of us , did nt she ?
Eve : Did you see this ?
Paige : Poor Abigail .
Eve : Poor Abigail ? I mean , I know Sami Brady s no saint , but I think she s kind of the victim here , do nt you ?
Paige : Did you read the whole article ? You re just saying that because you re mad at Jennifer .
Eve : [ Scoffs ] Sweetie , you re completely missing the point here . This is so not about me . You know , it is a perfect example , though .
Paige : Of what ?
Eve : Well , of how screwed up the whole horton - deveraux clan is .
Paige : Mom ...
Eve : They re trouble , sweetheart , trouble that you do nt need .
Abigail : Hey . Hi , did nt you close last night ? I did nt expect I would see you here today .
Ben : Yeah , I m picking up some keys for the storage room so we can move some stuff , if I can find them . Be back in a second , though , okay ?
Abigail : Okay .
Jordan : Abigail , hey . You had an interview today , right ? How d it go ?
Abigail : Actually , it did nt . I m pretty sure someone in hr got ahold of will s article and decided that I was nt right for the company .
Jordan : I m sorry .
Abigail : It s okay . I m actually really excited about this new marketing position that just opened up at the sports complex in west Salem .
Jordan : Oh , I love that place . Rafe actually has a friend that works there . Maybe--
Kate : Rafe , hey .
Rafe : Hey .
Kate : Hey , will told me that you were visiting Gabi in prison yesterday . How s she doing ?
Rafe : Yeah , she s hanging in .
Kate : I m glad to hear that . So how are you doing ?
Clyde : Hey , good morning , detective . Ms. Roberts .
Kate : You two know each other ?
Paige : Oh , come on , mom . JJ and Abigail s family is no more messed up than ours is .
Eve : Hey .
Paige : Or anyone else s . I know you re upset that I deferred Stanford , but ...
Eve : No , no , this is nt about Stanford . Do I wish that you had gone ? Yes . There s nothing that I can do about it now . I just -- I just do nt want you to look back and discover that you ve just made the wrong choice .
Paige : Meaning staying here--
Eve : And getting hurt by JJ Deveraux is exactly what I mean . I mean , if his sister , the golden child , can behave like that , imagine what you re gon na expect from a little ex - con .
Paige : Do nt call him that !
Eve : Oh , sweetheart , I just want you to be careful .
Paige : [ Scoffs ] How many times do I have to say it ? JJ really is a good person . He s kind and thoughtful , and he s totally turned his life around . I do nt need to be careful around him .
Eve : How deep are your feelings for this boy , huh ? Are you in love with him ?
Hope : [ Sighs ] Of course I do nt hate Aiden . I mean , why would I ? In fact , you know what ? I like him . I do . He s a -- he s a great guy . I just do nt know him well enough to know exactly what he s into , I mean , to help you pick out a gift for him .
JJ : Oh , how is that possible ? I know it s a little forward , but you come in here every morning . We joke . You re the highlight of my work day , and I do nt even know your name .
Aiden : It s Aiden . Aiden .
Aiden : Yeah . I could nt help noticing you re not wearing your ring .
Aiden : No , um ... no , I m not . And this is very flattering , but I do nt date . Never ?
Aiden : Never . Thanks for the coffee . [ Sighs ]
Theresa : You know , I did nt think that Abigail had it in her , but you know what they say about still waters .
Jennifer : What do they say about still waters , Theresa ?
Theresa : Well , it s just that she always seems so demure , practically virginal , but to snag a man like EJ , well , she just must be some kind of hellcat in bed . Hey , does she get that from you ? Is that what doctor Dan saw in you ? Because I ca nt imagine what else it could be .
Jennifer : And I ca nt imagine how you sleep at night knowing that all you do every day , all day , is cast a pall on the lives of other people who are unlucky enough to cross your path . I mean , truly , what a sad commentary on the state of your life that you find satisfaction in gloating over other people s problems , spreading bitterness and gloom . It is tragic , actually , with all the gifts that you have been given -- beauty , brains , opportunities , people who care about you -- that you have trashed your life .
Clyde : Uh , no , I do nt know ms . Roberts , but I have seen her picture in the business section of the spectator . I mean , who could forget a face like that , right ? Though , I must say , ms . Roberts , that picture hardly does you justice .
Rafe : [ Chuckles ]
Kate : It s so nice to meet you , Mr.--
Clyde : Clyde Weston . You might know my stepdaughter , Jordan Ridgeway , or my son , Ben Rodgers .
Kate : Oh , of course . Lovely , lovely children .
Clyde : Thank you . I hope I m not interrupting anything .
Rafe : What ? No , not at all .
Clyde : I just wanted to tell you , Rafe , how sorry I was to hear about you and Jordan . She s pretty shook up about it .
Rafe : Yeah , yeah . That makes two of us .
Clyde : Oh . Really ? If the two of you are so sad about it , you mind my asking what happened to split you up ?
Abigail : So I m guessing you did nt take my advice and talk to Rafe , did you ?
Jordan : [ Sighs ] No .
Abigail : But , Jordan , you have to know that Kate did nt mean anything to him .
Jordan : There s part of me that believes that you re right , but not that it matters . He made a choice that night , and now we both have to live with it .
Eve : You know , sweetheart , I thought I was in love when I was your age too .
Paige : With Frankie , and you wound up marrying him .
Both : Mm - hmm .
Eve : And we both know how that turned out , right ?
Paige : I m not you , mom .
Eve : I know you re not . My gosh , you have so much more promise than I ever did . That s why I ca nt just sit back and watch you throw away your plans , all your dreams , your life--
Paige : I m not doing that , and I really ca nt have this conversation with you again . Gon na go down to the moving van and finish getting all of our stuff .
Eve : You know , it s crazy timing , huh ? I mean , very interesting that cousin john got that job offer in Chicago and allowed us to stay in this old dump .
Paige : It s not a dump , mom .
Eve : Well , it s not the Taj Mahal either , but it s temporary . We ll start looking for a nicer place soon .
Paige : I ll go get some boxes .
Eve : Sweetheart , you do nt have to do that , you know , alone . We can hire someone .
Paige : I m fine .
Eve : Really ? Your book box from your old bedroom weighs at least 80 pounds . Oh , you -- you asked JJ to help you , did nt you ?
Paige : Yes , mom , I did .
Eve : Oh , man . Damn that boy .
JJ : You and Aiden were working together forever on that auction for St. Luke s . How can you not know anything about the guy ?
Hope : All business .
Aiden : JJ . Do I want to know what you re doing in a police station ?
JJ : Well , actually , I was talking to my cousin hope about how grateful I am to you for getting my juvie record expunged .
Aiden : Oh , yeah , well , you know , just doing my job .
JJ : Well , you know , it meant a lot to me , so ... you know what ? I m glad I got to thank you in person , but ... I ll see you later .
Aiden : Okay , all righty . Take care .
JJ : All right , you too . Bye .
Hope : Bye , JJ .
Aiden : So I m here to depose officer post about an arrest made in the Richards case .
Hope : Sorry , she s unavailable .
Aiden : In other words , I have to reschedule .
Hope : Yeah , I m afraid so .
Aiden : Great . Who do I have to talk to about that ?
Hope : That would be me .
Theresa : Do you really expect people to stop talking about what your daughter did anytime soon ?
Jennifer : I do nt know , anybody gon na stop talking about you and Brady anytime soon ?
Theresa : What about us ?
Jennifer : How you used his addiction and got him to go to Las Vegas and then you got him drunk and coerced him into marrying you ?
Theresa : That s not ...
Jennifer : Not what happened ? That is what happened . Everybody knows . You used his illness to get what you wanted , and if you had nt gotten him so drunk and so high out of his mind , he never would ve fought with his father .
Theresa : You were nt there .
Jennifer : I did nt need to be there . As far as I m concerned , what happened to john is not Brady s fault . It s yours . ( Vo ) if you have type 2 diabetes ,
Theresa : [ Sighs ] It s my fault your daughter s name is being dragged through the mud . It s my fault that you and Daniel broke up . It s my fault john black s in a coma . Huh , what is nt my fault ?
Jennifer : You know , what happened to john is a tragedy to everyone involved , and just because you are nt the one who hit him over the head with that poker , we both know that you bear plenty of responsibility for what happened . So you need to worry about yourself , Theresa , because Abigail is gon na be fine . But you ? Let s just say I have my doubts , and it looks to me like you have the same doubts .
Eve : Hey . Is everything okay ?
Theresa : [ Sighs ]
Eve : Theresa , what did she just say to you ?
Rafe : So Jordan did nt tell you why we broke up ?
Clyde : No . She s a pretty private person , as I m sure you know .
Rafe : Yeah , yeah .
Clyde : All I know is , she s not the same happy girl she was a couple of weeks ago . What it s worth , I hope the two of you find a way to work things out .
Rafe : Well , you and me both . Yeah .
Clyde : Well ... oh . Now that I ve had the pleasure , I hope I get the opportunity to talk to you about acclimating in Salem , given your ties to the business community .
Rafe : Well , why do nt you two talk now ? Cause I need to get going , okay ? So I ll catch up with you later . Clyde , pleasure to see you again .
Clyde : Yeah , listen . That Jordan -- she s a stubborn one , son . Do nt give up on her , okay ?
Rafe : Okay , yeah . Well , I have no intention of giving up .
Clyde : Good .
Rafe : All right .
Kate : Do you mind telling me what the hell that was all about ?
Abigail : I really hope that you and Rafe can work things out .
Jordan : I m just so unsettled about everything right now .
Abigail : You mean because of your stepfather showing up in town ?
Jordan : Yeah , well , that definitely does nt help . You know , I never even got a chance to talk to Rafe about Clyde , not that it matters now .
Abigail : Well , if you ever need anything , I m here for you .
Jordan : You just keep making my little brother smile .
Abigail : God , Ben has been so great about everything -- EJ , my job -- and he s got so much of his own stuff going on right now .
Jordan : Which is why I m glad he has you . You re good for him .
Abigail : Well , he s good for me .
Ben : Jordan , hey .
Jordan : Hey .
Abigail : Hey , did you find your key ?
Ben : Ah . Off to the storage room . If I do nt reappear before dawn , send reinforcements .
Abigail : Hey , you know , I know someone who might be available to go with you right now .
Ben : Who d ever want that job ?
Abigail : Oh , I do nt know . Me maybe ?
Both : Okay .
Ben : Fair enough .
Abigail : Bye , Jordan .
Jordan : Bye , guys .
Paige : Thanks for helping .
JJ : Yeah .
Paige : Sorry it s so hot .
JJ : Oh , because you control the weather , right ? Well , it beats picking up trash in the town square , and even that was nt so bad once I got to do it with you .
Paige : Mm , how romantic .
JJ : Yeah . Come here . Actually , I think this one is yours , yeah ?
Paige : Oh !
JJ : Um ... wow , I m -- I m sorry .
Paige : I m a terrible packer . [ Laughs ] Yes , I was going to take lamby to college . Go ahead , laugh .
JJ : Oh , I - I would nt dare .
Paige : Someone pretty special gave her to me , won her for me , actually , at a carnival .
JJ : Oh . Well , I did nt realize .
Paige : But there was someone else . [ Sighs ] The -- the guy who won it for me was nt a boyfriend , JJ . He was so much more than that , and then , well , he was nt .
Theresa : It s nothing . Oh , God .
Eve : Theresa . Nothing ?
Theresa : It s just , you know , same old jenny wound up like a cheap clock . You know , if you re here to demand another pint of blood from me , I ca nt donate again for months .
Eve : I am not here to see you , actually .
Theresa : Oh , well , I should ve known .
Eve : I have some business with the cheap clock . Apparently my first settlement check from the rights from jack s book was sent to her by mistake .
Theresa : Does nt jenny have all the luck ?
Eve : Actually , no , she does nt , and if she was just giving my favorite sister a hard time , she s gon na hear about it from me .
Theresa : Wow . Thanks for the concern .
Eve : Mm - hmm .
Theresa : Dont -- dont hurt your vocal cords , though , okay ?
Eve : Do nt worry . I wo nt be the one hurting when I m finished . So what did Jennifer say to you , anyway , exactly ?
Theresa : Just basically that it s my fault that john s a vegetable . I mean , can you imagine ?
Eve : Theresa , if I were you , I would nt talk about that with anyone -- anyone-- except me , of course .
Theresa : Okay .
Eve : So what is the prognosis for john ?
Theresa : Well , they think that he s never going to recover , so they re gon na ship him off to a long - term care facility . You know what ? The sooner , the better .
Eve : Why ?
Theresa : Well , it s just that every time I pass his room or I see him , it s just a terrible reminder of just everything .
Eve : Oh , you poor thing . You know , maybe you need some air .
Theresa : No , I m fine .
Eve : No , I mean , if you would like to take a walk , I have something that actually might cheer you up , and you know what ? You d be doing me a favor too .
Theresa : Okay . Hey , but do me a favor . When you talk to Jennifer , just give her hell for both of us .
Eve : Oh , you bet I will . [ Chuckles ]
Clyde : You have had your skivvies in such a bunch about anyone seeing the two of us together , I thought I would just jump in there and introduce myself . That way , if anyone should see us in the future , they would nt suspect a thing .
Kate : Oh , brilliant .
Clyde : And personally , ms . Roberts , I m rather fond of the idea of being seen with you in public . You are an extraordinary woman .
Aiden : [ Sighs ] Well , what is wrong with the first ?
Hope : It s not gon na work . It s labor day .
Aiden : Yeah , that s right . It is labor day , and I ll be laboring away at my office .
Hope : Oh , I m so sorry to hear that , but it s officer post s first weekend off in a month .
Aiden : Okay , you realize I need to get this done before I go to court and there s a trial .
Hope : Look , I m doing the best I can here .
Aiden : Really ?
Hope : Officer post has been on an extended undercover assignment .
Aiden : All right , well , how about when she s off duty ?
Hope : She s a single mother with two kids , pulling double-- okay , I tell you what . I will talk to her and see what I can do , all right ?
Aiden : All right , well , I wo nt hold my breath .
Hope : What ? Really ?
Aiden : No , I m sorry . The hope Brady that I first met at St. Luke s -- well , I think she is back .
Hope : And what is that supposed to mean , Mr. Jennings ?
Aiden : Oh , you know exactly what it means . Everything is an argument with you .
Hope : Oh , so now you re making this personal .
Aiden : It is personal . Why does it have to be like this ?
Hope : Like what ?
Aiden : Like this ! Like we re always yelling at each other .
Eve : I hope this is nt a bad time . I hate to interrupt your hard day at work , but apparently there was a snafu with the publisher , and my check was sent to you by mistake .
Jennifer : Right , and I was going to put it in the mail .
Eve : Jennifer , I am here now .
Jennifer : Well , the check is at home .
Eve : Well , go get it .
Jennifer : I m working . I m not going anywhere .
Eve : Since when ?
Jennifer : Excuse me .
Eve : No , excuse me . This is totally unacceptable .
JJ : You know , I did nt mean to upset you .
Paige : No , you did nt . He was nt another guy , JJ . It s my dad . I never talk about him because it makes my mom go ballistic . [ Sighs ]
JJ : Well , I wo nt go ballistic . But you do nt have to talk about it if you do nt want to .
Paige : There s not much to say . One day , he and my mom got in a fight , and he walked out the door and never came back .
JJ : Paige , I m really sorry .
Paige : [ Sighs ] He sent postcards every now and then , but they eventually stopped . Then my mom just stopped mentioning him . [ Sighs ] My mom drives me nuts sometimes , but I understand why she acts the way she does with men , with me . She just never got over him leaving .
JJ : Yeah , and neither have you .
Paige : Mm - mm . But you know how that feels , huh ?
Kate : Clyde , I really do appreciate your kind words , but if you think you re going to use me to--
Clyde : Use you ? No , I would nt think of it . I do think of us as partners in all this , though . You know , dancing with the one who brung you , right ? I mean , you are the reason I m here , Kate .
Kate : Well , yes .
Clyde : And I do consider myself very lucky not only to be reunited with my kids , but I ve never met anyone like you . Such a beauty with a zest for life and , the same time , a real barracuda when it comes to business .
Kate : Is that a compliment ?
Clyde : Oh , definitely . I have really enjoyed the time that we ve spent together .
Kate : Well , my part of being a barracuda means that I m very busy , so ...
Clyde : Oh , I m getting carried away here , are nt I ? I m sorry . I have a habit of saying what s on my mind . That s what people do where I m from .
Kate : Hmm , well , that s charming .
Clyde : Well , it can be , but I know it can also turn some people off here in Salem , and I would nt want to do that .
Kate : All s well that ends well . If you excuse me ...
Clyde : Well , it has nt ended yet , though . I mean , before you run off to make Mr. DiMera another million or two , do nt you have some valuable information for me ?
Jordan : Rafe , please wait .
Hope : I am not the one who s yelling .
Aiden : Well , you are now .
Hope : [ Sighs ] As soon as officer post--
Aiden : Do nt call you . You ll call me . Sure .
Hope : Tyler . I m going for a run . If anyone calls , I m taking an early lunch .
Theresa : Well , is it hot in here , or is it just the two of you ?
Paige : Aunt Theresa , what are you doing here ?
Theresa : Oh , your mom did nt text you to tell you that I was stopping by ?
Paige : No , I - I do nt have my phone .
Theresa : Right . Well , I hate to disturb the two of you , but eve told me that you were out here working hard . Of course , JJ did always know how to mix business with pleasure , did nt he ?
JJ : Theresa , you should go .
Theresa : No , actually eve told me to stop by here because I have to pick up a photo album that our dad gave her by mistake . So you know what ? Considering what I just walked in on , JJ , I think that she would say that you are the one who should be going .
Paige : My mom s fine with me and JJ .
Theresa : Really ? Huh , that s funny . Maybe we should call her right now and just see what she has to say about that .
Eve : The ink s not even dry on our settlement , and you re already playing games with me , Jennifer .
Jennifer : I had no idea that you were coming here to pick up a check . If you had been courteous enough to call or text me , I would ve made appropriate arrangements .
Eve : Good grief , I was just trying to save you a stamp .
Jennifer : No , you were not . You just ca nt wait an hour to get your hands on my husband s money .
Eve : Guess what . It s my money now , but you know what ? All the attention Abigail s scandal must be getting , I can understand that you re probably-- well , mailing out my check was the last thing--
Jennifer : Do nt you-- do nt you dare go there .
JJ : What the hell s the matter with you ?
Paige : JJ , I think you should go . I ll handle this .
JJ : Yeah , but--
Paige : JJ , please .
JJ : If that s what you want .
Paige : Yeah , I ll call you . [ Sighs ]
Theresa : Look , relax . I m not going to tell your mom now that he s gone .
Paige : Of course you are . You hate JJ and resent my mom , and now you have the perfect chance to stick it to both of them . [ Sighs ] For the record , it was nt ...
Theresa : What it looked like ?
Paige : No . Just got a little carried away .
Theresa : That is how it always happens .
Paige : Maybe for you , but I m not like you , aunt Theresa . I m not gon na sleep with JJ just because I can .
Theresa : Well , then you re a very smart girl .
Paige : Yes , I am , and I m the last person you should be worrying about .
Abigail : Ugh , wow . Hmm .
Ben : I warned you .
Abigail : Yeah , I guess I know why you re moving everything to a new storage place .
Ben : Yeah , plus it s a lot closer to the club . Are you sure you want to do this ?
Abigail : Yeah , totally . Got nothing else to do .
Ben : You really want to get dirty , huh ? I mean ...
Abigail : Yeah , no , I know what you meant . You were just trying to give me an out , which , frankly , is kind of insulting . What , do you think that I m afraid I m gon na chip a nail or something ?
Ben : No .
Abigail : That I m too fragile to lift these heavy boxes ?
Ben : I m the guy who told you you can do any job you want , you remember ?
Abigail : Yeah , I kind of do .
Ben : Yeah .
Abigail : No slacking , mister . We ve got work to do .
Rafe : So how are you doing ?
Jordan : Fine .
Rafe : Good . Work keeping you busy ?
Jordan : Yeah , yeah . You ?
Rafe : Yeah . So , so busy . Just ... been working a lot of overtime , and yesterday , I actually had the day off . I went to see Gabi .
Jordan : I m sure she was grateful for that .
Rafe : Yeah . Yeah . I wish I could ve brought Ari , though . She -- she s growing up so quickly .
Jordan : Well , I ca nt imagine how Gabi s doing , being away from her baby girl , but at least she knows Ari s in terrific hands -- two dads , great uncle .
Rafe : Jordan--
Jordan : Rafe , I--
Rafe : No , no . I m sorry .
Jordan : No , you -- sorry .
Rafe : Go ahead , go . I m sure you do not want to hear about me and my workload , overtime .
Jordan : No , I have a question for you .
Rafe : All right .
Jordan : A very important one .
Hope : Oh , ow . [ Sighs ] Damn it . [ Sighs ] Should ve stretched . [ Groans ] [ Panting slowly ]
Jennifer : Have you forgotten our agreement ? My family is off - limits to you .
Eve : What ? I ca nt even breathe your daughter s name or sympathize with her plight ?
Jennifer : You are not sympathizing with my daughter s plight . You only have sympathy for yourself , and the only reason you are here is to get your money .
Eve : Well , since you brought it up , yeah , it is my money , and guess what . I want it !
Jennifer : And you will get it when I get around to it . Now , get out !
Eve : [ Scoffs ]
Jennifer : [ Gasps ] [ Sighs ]
Eve : [ Sighs ] My check s at her house , where I will find her unemployed slut of a daughter . Two for the price of one . I m gon na love this .
Kate : I m so sorry . I almost forgot . This gentleman can help you .
Clyde : Thank you . I ll give him a holler .
Kate : You do that . He s expecting your call .
Clyde : Ca nt thank you enough .
Kate : You re welcome .
Clyde : And I meant what I said before .
Kate : What was that ?
Clyde : You re quite a woman .
Kate : Thank you , Clyde .
Jordan : Abigail s having a hard time finding a job after Sami forced her to resign from the hospital .
Rafe : Oh , okay . Well , sorry to hear that .
Jordan : She told me she s applying for the marketing job at the sports complex in west Salem , and your friend still works there , right ?
Rafe : Yeah . Yeah , sure does . So this is about Abigail ?
Jordan : Yeah , she could really use someone putting in a good word for her . All this stuff about her affair with EJ has really kind of hurt her job search .
Rafe : Yeah , I have no idea why will wrote that article . So did Abigail ask you to talk to me ?
Jordan : No , I m asking for this favor , Rafe , not her .
Rafe : Right . Okay . Well , you know I ll do what I can .
Jordan : Great , thanks .
Rafe : Yeah .
Jordan : All right , well , I got ta get going .
Aiden : You okay ?
Jennifer : You re gon na get through this , Abigail , same way your brother got through that nightmare with Theresa ... because I am your mom , and it is my job to protect you no matter what it takes .
Abigail : This is going a lot faster than I thought .
Ben : Yeah , thanks to you .
Abigail : Oh , I m gon na get this box .
Ben : What box ?
Abigail : This one over here .
Ben : No , no , dont-- [ Sighs ]
Paige : What are you doing here ?
Theresa : My photo album , the one your mom sent me for .
Paige : Here , this must be it .
Theresa : Look , Paige , I know that you do nt want to talk about this , but I ve been down on the floor with guys before , and I ca nt say that I ve always made the same choice that you did .
Paige : No kidding .
Theresa : But let me just tell you that I think that the way you re playing this is smart , so keep it up . If you want a guy to stick around , you have to hold out for as long as possible , because as soon as you give JJ or any man what he wants , he ll be gone in a Salem second .
Eve : JJ .
JJ : What did Theresa tell you ?

Victoria : You re a slob .

Victoria : Ohh . Um ...
Billy : What ?
Victoria : Uh , oh , no . ( Sighs )
Billy : What s wrong ?
Victoria : Oh , no . ( Sighs ) Ohh , our divorce is final .
Jack : Are you still pretty hyped from your ski trip ?
Kyle : Yeah , it was awesome . Yeah , but I hated leaving you alone on Thanksgiving .
Jack : Well , you know , I was nt exactly alone . I had dinner with a friend . I was hoping that maybe we could get you to meet her this morning .
Kyle : Oh , her .
Jack : Yeah , yeah , yeah . You know what ? Go get us a couple hot chocolates , all right ?
Kyle : Okay .
Jack : Joe , hey .
Joe : Oh , hey , Jack . What s up ?
Jack : Oh , just grabbing a little time with my son .
Joe : Oh , that s nice . All this business with his mom must be rough on him , especially this latest thing .
Jack : What Latest thing would that be ?
Joe : I thought you heard . They re exhuming Diane Jenkins body today .
Genevieve : Myrna . Myrna , I ... ( Sighs ) Uh , Jack is going to bring his son over to meet me .
Myrna : Oh , uh ... ( Exhales ) You-- you sound so worried .
Genevieve : Oh , you know , it-- it s just that -- I do nt know , it has nt been that long since that boy lost his mother . I dont-- I do nt know how he s gon na feel about seeing his father with a new woman in his life .
Myrna : Well , she was murdered , was nt she ?
Genevieve : Yes , brutally . Some sick person bashed her skull in with a rock . I mean , what kind of a monster does it take ?
Myrna : I - I could nt tell . I , um ... I just hope they find him soon .
Genevieve : Yeah , or her . ( Stammers ) Anyways , um , look . I , uh , I want to go get ready . Will you please listen for the door , uh , if they arrive ?
Myrna : Oh , well , of course , of course .
Genevieve : Thanks .
Myrna : ( Sighs )
Myrna : ( Sighs ) Oh !
Adam : Surprise .
Myrna : ( Sighs ) What are you doing here ?
Adam : Courtesy call .
Myrna : ( Sighs ) Look , you know , if you came to tell me that my plan to frame you for Diane s murder backfired , I got it the first time , and honestly , I do nt care if you put that evidence in Victor s safe . I really do nt .
Adam : I came here to watch you squirm when I tell you this . I dealt with my dad .
Myrna : ( Sighs )
Adam : Now I m gon na deal with you .
Michael : They treat you okay last night ?
Victor : Toying with me like that may cost Inspector Clouseau his badge . Right , Malloy ?
Ronan : Well , it s a good thing I can always go back to the bureau , then , right ?
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Ronan : It s a shame to leave now , though . Things are just starting to get interesting .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Michael : Oh , goody . You found the real murderer .
Ronan : Its possible succinylcholine killed Diane .
Michael : You book him ?
Ronan : It s a paralytic drug that can lead to death . Traces of it were found in the syringe that was in Victor s safe .
Michael : Which means nothing . The coroner stated that Diane died from blunt force trauma to the head .
Ronan : If this drug shows up in her bloodstream , well , we ll have a whole new theory as to what brought about her demise .
Victor : Hmm . Do you enjoy this sort of hypothesizing and making accusations like this , hmm ? While the real murderer is probably out in the streets , killing someone else ? If that happens , it s on your head . You know that , do nt you ?
Jack : Why would they dig up Diane s body ?
Joe : Um , new development in the case . My ears inside the coroner s office tell me that a second autopsy has been ordered . So , uh , news will be out soon .
Jack : Yeah , uh , thanks for telling me .
Joe : Of course , man .
Kyle : Um , who s that guy you were talking to ?
Jack : Oh , uh , it s Joe . He s a friend .
Kyle : Dad , I m not a kid . What s going on ?
Jack : Joe just told me they re digging up your mother s body . They want to do a second autopsy .
Kyle : Ca nt they just leave her alone ?
Jack : Yeah , I wish they could . ( Sighs )
Kyle : You think maybe they have a new lead or something , that they re getting closer to catching the person that killed her ?
Jack : You know what I think ? I think we need to go find out . Come on . New evidence .
Joe : See you .
Myrna : Would you just stop ? Genevieve could come back down . Please .
Adam : Well , if you do nt want your boss to find out who you are , stop giving me reasons to come by here .
Myrna : Well , I had to prove that you re not the one in charge .
Adam : How d that work out for you ? I used your ill - advised plan to my advantage . Malloy found the syringe in my father s safe , and per usual , he jumped to all the wrong conclusions .
Myrna : Hmm . Then I did you a favor .
Adam : You know , if the good detective finds out that my father was set up , he s also gon na find out that Patty s back in town , and she s packing little bottles of succinylcholine .
Myrna : Hmm . A lot of people have access to illegal drugs in this town , Adam .
Nikki : Yeah , I just got into town last night . I came here because I wanted to thank your father for everything that he did for me while I was in rehab .
Nick : Did you see him ?
Nikki : No , he was nt here . Actually , I fell asleep waiting for him , and when I woke up this morning , he still was nt here .
Nick : Maybe he had a last - minute business trip or something .
Nikki : Well , it s not like I was expected .
Nick : Well , he is gon na be so happy to see you , and Victoria and the kids .
Nikki : I missed you so much .
Nick : We missed you , too . I mean ... where were you ? You got out of rehab and we all wanted to see you , and you did nt come straight home .
Michael : You re saying it appeared Diane was hit in the head .
Ronan : She was obviously hit in the head .
Michael : But that s not what killed her .
Ronan : I m thinking that her skull was crushed after she was dead .
Michael : And what brought you to this savage and somewhat farfetched conclusion ?
Ronan : Blood , on the tip of the syringe that was found in Victor s safe . I thought maybe you could tell me how it got there .
Victor : I told you , I never saw that syringe before , nor do I have any idea how it got into my safe , all right ?
Ronan : Let s talk about the safe , then .
Victor : Uh - huh .
Ronan : Who else has that combination ?
Victor : My secretary Connie .
Ronan : That s it ? Nobody else ?
Victor : And my ex - wife Nikki , who has been out of town for a while .
Michael : All right , this is ridiculous . Safes can be broken into easily .
Ronan : That is true , but getting succinylcholine ? That s not so easy . It s only used in surgery , so whoever got their hands on it would have to have access to a hospital pharmacy .
Nikki : You know , I was in the hospital for so long , I just -- I felt like I needed to have a little time to myself after they released me before coming home .
Nick : But you re okay now ?
Nikki : Oh , I am ready to be with my family .
Nick : Oh , we ve missed you so much , and Victoria -- I mean , Mom , she really needs you . It s been rough on her . She lost Lucy and then Billy .
Nikki : ( Sighs ) I know , Honey , but I - I m sure it has nt been easy for you , either , with this Diane mess , and your father told me the police have questioned all of you .
Nick : Yeah , from day one .
Nikki : I am so sorry that I was nt here when-- when the whole thing began . I - it was just a very critical point of my therapy . They -- they would nt let me leave rehab .
Nick : But you did . I mean , you were missing the night that Diane was murdered , and we were so concerned , Mom , because nobody had any idea where you were .
Ashley : ( Laughs )
Tucker : So ... what comes after this , huh ? On a honeymoon , I mean . What comes next ?
Ashley : Oh . Why do you think I m supposed to know what happens on a honeymoon ?
Tucker : Well , you ve done this more than once , have nt you ?
Ashley : ( Gasps ) Oh ! Oh , well , okay . Since I am the expert ...
Tucker : Mm - hmm .
Ashley : You probably should have gotten me a gift .
Tucker : Gifts ?
Ashley : Mm - hmm .
Tucker : Who said anything about gifts ?
Ashley : Mm . You re such an amateur .
Tucker : ( Sighs ) Well ...
Ashley : ( Giggles )
Tucker : You know , some of us only have to do this once to get it right .
Ashley : ( Gasps ) If you d gotten it right , you would have gotten me a gift . ( Laughs ) I m kidding .
Tucker : You mean ...
Ashley : ( Gasps ) Ohh . You know what ? You ...
Tucker : Like this ?
Ashley : Are such a show - off . These are amazing .
Tucker : ( Laughs )
Ashley : Ohh !
Tucker : Beauty for my beauty .
Ashley : I remember these .
Tucker : Mm - hmm .
Ashley : Oh , this is amazing . I remember , this was a-- it was -- we were in Japan , and it was at that little shop that was right around the corner from the hotel , right ?
Tucker : You do remember .
Ashley : ( Whispering ) Oh , these are so beautiful . ( Normal voice ) I remember something else .
Tucker : What ?
Ashley : ( Sighs ) Ta - da !
Tucker : Ohh . What is it ?
Ashley : Well ...
Tucker : It s a crane .
Ashley : ( Laughs )
Tucker : That s beautiful .
Ashley : It s a crane . Yes , it is . It s a Japanese symbol for love and fidelity . Did you know that ? Cause they mate for life . And so I got it for you to remind you that ... I give you my love and fidelity for life ... for ever and ever .
Tucker : Mm .
Ashley : I do nt want to stab you with it , though .
Tucker : ( Sighs ) Man .
Ashley : What ?
Tucker : I never thought I would ...
Ashley : Mm .
Tucker : I never imagined I d have all this .
Ashley : I messed up so many relationships , I never thought I d get it right .
Tucker : We beat the odds , Darlin .
Ashley : Mm .
Victoria : ( Sighs ) I m so sorry . I never should have started the proceedings . I just honestly-- I did nt think you were gon na be coming back .
Billy : You want to blame somebody , blame me . This is my fault .
Victoria : I guess it does nt really matter who s at fault . I mean ... we re divorced .
Billy : Yeah , but all that means is we have a good excuse to have another wedding . Maybe Hefll let us get hitched at the playboy mansion , and this time , we ll save the handcuffs for after the wedding . What do you think ?
Victoria : ( Sighs ) Hopefully .
Billy : Look , I was just kidding about the arresting ...
Victoria : Oh , I know .
Billy : Everything , okay ?
Victoria : That Ronan Malloy , okay ? He s very serious about finding out who killed Diane .
Billy : You really ca nt be worried about being a suspect .
Victoria : Billy , um , there s something that you need to know about me and about the night that Diane was killed .
Nick : ( Sighs ) Mom , we were so freaked out . I mean , the night you disappeared from rehab , Diane turns up dead , and nobody had heard from you .
Nikki : You must have worried that the same thing had happened to me . I am so sorry . It just -- terrible timing .
Nick : Was it because of the lawsuit that Diane filed against you ? Is that why you took off ?
Nikki : Oh , Honey , it was just ... ( Sighs ) It was everything . A - and ... there was pressure to do well , to succeed , but fear that I would nt , I would disappoint you , and I - it just all got to be too much .
Nick : I really wish you would have called me .
Nikki : Honey , you could nt have done anything . I was gon na do what I was gon na do .
Nick : What did you do ?
Nikki : ( Sighs ) I lost my sobriety . I - I do nt even like to think about it or talk about that time . I m so sorry , Son .
Nick : I m sorry . I - I do nt mean to bring up you know , bad memories .
Nikki : No , Honey , Honey , you did nt . I - I m just glad that I m home now and we can all get back to normal .
Nick : I do nt know about that . Ronan is very determined to find Diane s killer . And Dad , Victoria , and I are all suspects .
Nikki : Well , that s ridiculous . He s wasting his time . I know that none of you could have done that .
Victor : I hold no medical license , nor have I been in a hospital lately , so how the hell would I get a hold of such a powerful narcotic ?
Ronan : Money . Lots and lots of money .
Victor : You re accusing me now of purchasing illegal drugs ? Is that it ?
Michael : You have nothing on my client -- no fingerprints on the syringe ...
Ronan : He could have wiped them off .
Michael : No proof he put it in the safe .
Ronan : No proof that he did nt .
Victor : I was set up . Is nt that obvious ?
Adam : How long do you think it s gon na take Malloy to figure out that you re the one who set my father up when he realizes that you re in town ?
Myrna : Mm , well , I had some business that I needed to take care of .
Adam : Mm , you got ta feed your dead cat ?
Myrna : Okay , do nt you dare talk about Mr. Kitty that way .
Adam : Well , you could end up that way if anyone finds out who you are .
Myrna : Okay , you know what ? Just go . Just go away ! We re done , Adam . We re done ! What--
Genevieve : Myrna ? Myrna ?
Myrna : Yes ?
Genevieve : What s going on down here ?
Myrna : ( Sighs )
Genevieve : What do you think you re doing here ? I asked you a question . Why are you harassing my housekeeper ?
Adam : I was just talking to her .
Genevieve : About what ?
Adam : Well , I wanted to talk with you , actually , about our mutual interests in Newman Enterprises . You know , you and I had spoken the other day and said that we would get together sometime soon , so I came by , and I asked for you . She said you were busy .
Genevieve : She s right . I am .
Adam : Well , I guess we ll have to talk sometime soon then .
Adam : Excuse me . I m sorry . I have to , um , I have to go .
Genevieve : Yes , you do .
Adam : I ll be in touch . Myrna .
Genevieve : Not even an apology ?
Myrna : It s okay . At least he s gone .
Genevieve : Myrna , do you know him ? I - I mean ... ( Stammers ) It seems like you know what he s all about . Is that why when he asked to speak to me that you would nt let him ?
Myrna : Mm - hmm .
Genevieve : Thank you . Thank you . I ve met this guy twice briefly . Both times , I just felt like-- I do nt know . There s something off about him .
Myrna : Yeah . I could nt agree with you more .
Genevieve : Mm .
Nick : Well , Detective Malloy better not mess with you , because you re unstoppable when it comes to protecting your family .
Nikki : Well , especially when I know you re all innocent . ( Sighs ) I - I dont-- I do nt want to talk about this anymore . No more Diane s murder anything . I just want to hear about the family .
Nick : ( Sighs ) Excuse me .
Nick : Dad s at the police station ? He says he s been there all night .
Nikki : What ?
Ronan : It was a setup then ? Tell me who set you up . Tell me why , and tell me how they managed to get in that high - security building of yours .
Victor : Michael ?
Michael : Is nt figuring all that out your job ?
Ronan : Oh , come on , Michael . Let s save the taxpayers some money on this one .
Michael : Well , you could do that by interviewing Victor s assistant .
Ronan : I did nt mention that I already did ?
Michael : No , you did nt . Please share .
Ronan : Connie , right ? Connie said that she , yes , left the safe open and unattended for ... she was nt sure how long .
Michael : So you knew all along the evidence could have been planted .
Ronan : Could have been .
Michael : We are done here , Detective .
Ronan : Well , Mr. Newman s still a person of interest , so no unscheduled trips out of town .
Victor : ( Sighs )
Ronan : I ll get your release papers .
Victor : You have a productive day , Detective . That man is a bona fide ass . He s going to pay for holding me here overnight . No proof of anything-- just allegations , even accusing me of Diane Jenkins murder .
Kyle : The police think you killed Mom ? Well , did you ?
Billy : Calm down . So what ?
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Billy : So you were in the park the night Diane was murdered . Big deal .
Victoria : It s gon na be a big deal if -- if Ronan sees the movie that Adam made with all of the Abbotts and the Newmans confronting Diane in the park that night . It s gon na be a huge deal .
Billy : How did your goofy brother even put that together ?
Victoria : I do nt know , but I know it was him for sure , without a doubt .
Billy : Did nt you say the film was destroyed ?
Victoria : Well , that does nt guarantee that another copy s not gon na pop up somewhere .
Billy : Okay , but even if another copy pops up ...
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Billy : Malloy s not seriously gon na think that you killed Diane . That s silly . Come on .
Victoria : He may have eliminated me as a suspect , except that I lied to him .
Billy : You , um ...
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Billy : You lied to him ?
Victoria : Yes , I lied to him .
Billy : Why d you lie to him ? You do nt have to lie . You re innocent .
Victoria : I was just really angry at Diane for filing that lawsuit against my mother , and , okay , I just -- I - I was afraid that they would just jump to the wrong conclusion about all of it , and ... ( Sighs ) I helped my dad .
Billy : Ahh . You helped your dad . ( Clears throat ) You gave Daddy an alibi , did nt you ?
Victoria : Yeah , I was just-- I was just , you know , I was trying to protect him , and I was trying to cover for him . ( Sighs ) And the whole time , he was keeping you away from me . ( Sighs )
Billy : You know , sometimes I could cheerfully choke the life out of your father .
Victoria : ( Sighs ) I do nt want to talk about this anymore . You know what ? I just want to focus on us , and getting married again and being a family and with reed and Delia ...
Billy : Mm - hmm .
Victoria : And watching old reruns on TV , and ... oh , there s a marathon on tonight . Let s watch it .
Billy : Mm .
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Billy : Honey , if you want to talk about your dad , let s talk about your--
Victoria : I do nt want to talk about my dad , okay ? I do nt want to think about my dad . I do nt want anything to do with him anymore .
Victor : Kyle , I did not kill your mother .
Jack : Then what are you doing here ?
Michael : Victor .
Victor : This is no place for the boy .
Jack : We heard Diane s body is being exhumed . We came to find out why .
Kyle : It s because of you , is nt it ? They re trying to prove that you killed Mom .
Michael : Kyle , that s not true .
Kyle : I thought you were my friend !
Victor : I am , Son .
Kyle : No , do nt call me son ! You re a liar , and ... I hate you !
Victor : ( Sighs ) Go back to the office . I ll , uh , check in soon , all right ?
Michael : Okay .
Victor : Thank you .
Jack : Well , I guess it s just a matter of time . Sooner or later , the scales of justice tilt in the right direction .
Victor : If there were justice in this world , that boy would not have gotten you as a father .
Jack : It just kills you , does nt it ? That he s my son .
Victor : For your information , he is my legal ward .
Jack : Just try to take him away from me . See , I have the ultimate weapon in this fight-- Kyle s love .
Ronan : Jack ? Can I help you with something ?
Jack : No . I got what I came for .
Victor : You have got nothing , Jack Abbott . Neither one of you have a damn thing .
Nick : All right , I appreciate it . Thanks .
Nikki : What ? What s happening ? Has your father been arrested ?
Nick : My friend did nt know , so I m gon na head down there and see what I can find out .
Nikki : Well , can you call me ?
Nick : You do nt want to come with me ?
Nikki : He -- he does nt even know that I m back . I do nt think I should go .
Nick : Mom , seeing you might be just what Dad needs .
Nikki : No , I - I think that he needs to focus on getting out of whatever trouble he s in .
Nick : Okay , I ll call you when I learn anything .
Nikki : All right , thank you . Thank you .
Nikki : ( Sighs ) My God .
Nikki : ( Sighs )
Nikki : ( Sniffs )
Ashley : Well , you re just lucky that I m so far away , or I d be punching you for making me worry about you so much .
Billy : Yeah , Traci said the same thing . Do nt worry . Jack has beat me up plenty . Promise .
Ashley : Billy , I m so ... I m so happy you re home .
Billy : Yeah , it s all workin out . DeeDee s doin great . Vicky and I , we re , uh , you know , we re -- we re workin it out .
Ashley : I m so happy . I know how much you love her . Is nt it amazing , you know , when you find the right person ?
Billy : Yeah , yeah . Go do the honeymoon thing with Tucker , and I ll see you when you get back .
Ashley : Welcome home , Billy . I love you .
Tucker : Billy s back home ?
Ashley : ( Sighs ) He s back home . And he s back with Victoria , and Delia s getting better . All is right in the world .
Tucker : I m afraid not all . ( Sighs )
Chloe : I think he s right there .
Delia : ( Gasps ) Daddy !
Billy : Hey , hey , hey ! ( Grunts ) ( Laughs )
Delia : You came back .
Billy : I did . I told you-- DeeDee and Daddy forever . Hey , you remember this ? Up high . Down low , in the hole . Too slow .
Delia : ( Chuckles )
Billy : Daddy s never gon na go .
Delia : You promise ?
Billy : Cross my everything . Mm , give me a hug .
Victoria : Michael .
Michael : Oh , Victoria . I m glad you re here .
Victoria : Yeah , well , the sooner I clean out my office , the better for everyone .
Michael : Huh ? What ? Oh , you have nt heard .
Victoria : What ?
Michael : Your dad spent the night as a guest of the G.C.P.D.
Victoria : In jail ?
Michael : Someone planted a syringe in his safe . It had the residue of a deadly substance , and for good measure , some of Diane s blood . So , of course , Detective Malloy has a whole new theory about how she died .
Victoria : Yes , new theory , but the same old suspects .
Michael : Oh , come on , Victoria , listen . I know you re upset with Victor , but he needs your support right now just to--
Victoria : ( Scoffs ) Are you kidding me ? No , Michael , not after what he did to Billy . I m through with him . I m through .
Adam : That s the difference between you and me , Victoria . No matter what Dad does to me , I still ca nt manage to turn my back on him .
Victoria : Yeah , well , maybe that s because you and Dad are a lot more alike than anyone realized .
Adam : Well , then I guess it makes perfect sense that I step in for him .
Genevieve : ( Chuckles ) So ... this must be Kyle .
Jack : Yes , it is .
Genevieve : Hi . I - I m Genevieve . It s very nice to meet you .
Kyle : You , too .
Genevieve : I have heard so much about you from your dad . Now let me see . Um , I know that you like ... scary movies , uh , video games , right ? Right ? And hockey .
Kyle : Yeah .
Genevieve : Yeah ? I ca nt play hockey , and I m not that good at video games , either . But you know what ? I like a scary movie every now and again .
Jack : Hey , you know what ? We got that new one that you bought . Maybe we could come over on the weekend , get some pizza , and watch it together .
Genevieve : Oh .
Kyle : Sure .
Jack : Kyle s had kind of a rough morning , and we got ta get back to school .
Genevieve : Oh , yes . Yes , of course .
Kyle : Oh , hey . Where d you come from ?
Jack : I see you still got your stray , huh ?
Genevieve : Yeah , and he is just desperate for somebody to care for him .
Nick : Hey . Where s my dad ?
Ronan : Hey . He was released over an hour ago .
Nick : I talked to Connie . You knew last night there was plenty of time for someone to plant that syringe in his safe .
Ronan : That does nt mean that Victor did nt put it there himself .
Nick : When are you gon na stop harassing our family ?
Ronan : When I solve this murder case . Nick ? You know all the suspects on my list . Is there anyone else ? Anyone I do nt know of that really , truly hated Diane ?
Nikki : ( Sighs ) ( Sighs heavily )
Billy : I looked at this every day when I was gone . I even talked to it sometimes .
Delia : ( Chuckles )
Billy : ( Whispers ) Your daddy s crazy .
Delia : ( Chuckles ) I dreamt about you when you were gone , too . Once you were even dressed up as Santa .
Billy : ( Normal voice ) Well ... ( Grunts )
Chloe : Hey , Baby Girl , why do nt , um , why do nt you go upstairs and get that picture for Daddy that you made for him , yeah ?
Billy : ( Sniffs ) ( Sighs ) So on a scale of 1 to I can kill you , how mad are you ?
Chloe : You got a gun ?
Billy : Yeah , I know . I didnt -- I did nt call . I did nt send flowers .
Chloe : I just kept on imagining all the empty seats at soccer games and , uh , graduation , her wedding , you not being there to walk her down the aisle . So I would , uh , I would just make myself feel better by just imagining you dead in a gutter and tell myself that you were nt the jerk who would just abandon his daughter like that .
Billy : I m sorry , Chloe .
Chloe : You re sorry ? You re sorry . You re a son of a bitch . And if I were nt so relieved to see you right now , I d probably kill you .
Billy : ( Chuckles ) That mean you forgive me ?
Chloe : No , I do nt forgive you , but I m happy that you re alive and that you did nt turn your back on your daughter .
Billy : I would nt let anything keep me from my daughter .
Ashley : Straight to voice mail . ( Sighs )
Tucker : Well , Abby s probably so busy with Jabot business , she has nt even heard yet .
Ashley : You know , I m so annoyed that this murder investigation just keeps going on and on . And why are they questioning Victor again ?
Tucker : He can handle Malloy s grilling .
Ashley : I guess we should both be grateful that Malloy did nt turn up on our honeymoon .
Tucker : It s nice to have the bull s - eye off our backs , huh ?
Ashley : You know what ? I m so sorry about that . It was so silly , um , that I ever even inferred that you could have been involved in Diane s death somehow . It was just ...
Tucker : That s all behind us .
Ashley : Yeah . ( Sighs ) I know you could never do anything like that . I m gon na try Abby again , okay ?
Michael : Victor does nt need anyone to step in for him .
Adam : He s in police custody . Victoria resigned . Nicholas bailed months ago . That leaves me .
Michael : He ll be back .
Adam : Well , you know what they say-- while the cat s away ... consider me the new top cat .
Genevieve : Kyle ? Would you like to take the cat ?
Kyle : Wait , home with me ? What , to keep ?
Genevieve : Well , sure . Why not ? You -- you two seem to really like each other .
Kyle : Is it okay , Dad ?
Jack : ( Sighs ) Y - yeah , sure . Yeah .
Kyle : ( Laughs ) Thanks .
Genevieve : ( Chuckles )
Kyle : I m gon na call him ... ( Chuckles ) Dave .
Jack : Dave . ( Chuckles )
Kyle : ( Chuckles )
Jack : Okay , why do nt you take Dave very carefully out to the car ? I ll be right there , all right ?
Kyle : ( Sighs )
Genevieve : ( Chuckles )
Jack : You did nt have to do that .
Genevieve : I want to make you happy any way I can .
Ronan : Do you know anybody else who would want to hurt Diane ?
Nick : Why are you askin ?
Ronan : Just covering all my bases . Let me know if you think of anybody .
Nick : I will .
Victor : Nikki ?
Avery : Whatever you think you heard , you re wrong .
Nick : Well , there s nothing I can do to help you .
Billy : You could sell me back Restless Style .
Nikki : I can not do it without you .
Victor : You do nt have to ever again .

Eve : Miguel , there s nothing that they can do at the hospital that we ca nt do here .

Eve : Tabitha , I m going to use the phone in the living room , if that s ok ?
Tabitha : Oh , yes , yes , of course . I m going to take endora up to the nursery .
Charity : I ll bring this up to maria .
Tabitha : Charity , I do nt want to sound cruel , dear , but I think it s better if you stay down here , away from kay and miguel and the baby . Let them handle this crisis as a famy . Y. You know what I mean , do nt you , dear ?
Charity : Yeah . Yeah , you re right .
Charity : You . What are you doing here ?
Death : I m here for maria s soul .
Antonio : Dr. Ackland , it s antonio . I came to sign those papers . Alistair . What the hell are you doing here ?
Alistair : Now , is that any way to talk to your father - in - law ?
Antonio : So , what the hell do you want ?
Alistair : I want to help you , antonio . Your brother is trying to steal your wife . I want to help you stop that from happening .
Beth : Ok , the baby s asleep . This is the perfect time to separate them . So why do nt you tell sheridan that she should go home and take a shower and get se e rest .
Luis : I do nt know . Beth , come on . It -- it s a long time since the baby s had any nourishment . What if he wakes up and he s hungry again ?
Beth : Ok , well , if he wo nt take his formula , then I ll call you . Sheridan can pump some more milk for the baby , and you can bring it over .
Luis : All right . All right . This is as good a time as any , huh ? Hey .
Sheridan : Hey .
Luis : Ahem . I was just thinking that , since he s asleep , this could be a good time for -- for me to take you home . You could get some rest .
Sheridan : No , I do nt want to leave my baby .
Luis : He s sleeping so soundly right now . He probably wo nt wake for hours . Now would be the perfect time .
Sheridan : Right . He probably will sleep through .
Luis : Yeah .
Sheridan : Ok , I ll just -- I ll go upstairs and get the things I brought from the hospital .
Luis : Ok .
Sheridan : Oh .
Sheridan : Bye , sweetheart .
Beth : Ok .
Sheridan : You got him ?
Luis : Beth --
beth : Luis --
luis : Beth --
beth : I think that we should wean sheridan from the baby as soon as possible for her own good . I mean , she s going to have to face the reality that this is our baby , that you and I are his parents .
Luis : You know , now that sheridan s upstairs , I think that -- I think we need to talk , ok , you know , about how things are .
Beth : What do you mean , how things are ?
Luis : Well , I just want to be upfront with you , ok ? Now , you know that I ll always be here for you and the baby . Beth , I love sheridan , ok , and I m determined to spend the rest of my life with her .
Ethan : So , woody , you understand ? We have little time and I do nt want you to alarm theresa , but you have got to file a motion to extend theresa s custody .
Woody : What kind of motion would that be ?
Ethan : It does nt matter . It can say anything as long as it s a motion that the court has to consider , ok ? It ll buy us some time . It ll prevent them from taking little ethan today .
Woody : Ok . Understood . I m on it . I ll head over to the courthouse , file the paperwork . Then I ll go to theresaS.
Ethan : Ok , perfect , perfect . By the time rebecca tries to take little ethan away , it ll be too late . We ll have a court order to prevent her from taking the child .
Woody : Unless --
ethan : Unless what ?
Woody : What about that crook , judge reilly ? Julian crane has him in is back pocket .
Ethan : Look , he may on the crane payroll , right , but he still has to go through due process or he ll risk exposing himself . Look , woody , just file the -- file the motion , ok ?
Woody : All right , all right . It s as good as done .
Ethan : And , woody , remember , theresa must not know that I m helping her .
Woody : I know , I know . I got it . Mum s the word .
Rebecca : Very naughty , ethan . Very naughty , indeed . There s no way you can stop me from taking little ethan away from theresa no matter wtt you do .
Rebecca : Hello . It s rebecca . The plans have changed . Ba - dup - ba - ba - ba . Hoe mearly Toominndhohoit do ppey ! U owhaI s ang he ippppp apfveñc urañtx reeor , o n yoru
rebecca : I can not believe how two - faced ethan s been . I mean , all the time he s lying through his teeth , telling us that he is helping us against theresa , and all the time he s really helping theresa .
Julian : I always knew ethan had a conscience .
Rebecca : Hmm . All the more proof that he is nt really your son . How could he do this to me ? How could he do it to gwen ?
Julian : Stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place . He wants to be loyal to little ethan because he s the child s godfather . At the same time , he wants to be loyal to gwen . He simply wants to do the right thing .
Rebecca : Well , just do nt tell gwen about it , all right ? I do nt want to see her get hurt again .
Gwen : To be honest , honey , I did nt think you d be able to resist helping theresa , I mean , even after you promised me you d stay away from her .
Ethan : I m staying away from her , and I just want what s best for little ethan .
Gwen : And I firmly believe that it s best for little ethan to be away from theresa . Can I get you some coffee ?
Ethan : No , thank you .
Gwen : Ok .
Ethan : Wrong , gwen . What s best for little ethan is to be with theresa . She s his mother .
Rebecca : Julian , I ve just had the most brilliant idea .
Julian : Lord help us .
Rebecca : No , I m going to let it slip to theresa that ethan is actually helping us to take little ethan away from her . Then she s going to hate and despise him , do nt you think ? She s never going to forgive him .
Julian : Oh , yes , I suppose .
Rebecca : Well , then she ll never try to take ethan away from gwen . Oh -- oh , it s time we go .
Julian : Go ? Go where ?
Rebecca : Well , I ve moved up the timetable to take little ethan away from theresa , and the C.P.S. Officer is probably already on his way over there . So , ethan , gwen , it s time we headed over to casa lopez fitzgerald to pick up julian s son .
Ethan : Whoa , whoa , whoa , wait a minute . I thought that was happening later .
Rebecca : Change of plans . And I know you want to be there when we liberate little ethan .
Ethan : Right . Sure . I just have to make a quick call first .
Rebecca : Oh , you can make that call later .
Ethan : No , no , no , it s ok . It ll just take a minute . Go ahead and meet me outside .
Rebecca : Oh , no , no , ethan . I mean , none of this would be happening without your brilliant expertise . And I am so grateful to you -- so very grateful -- that I ve decided that , well , until we have custody of little ethan , you and I are going to be joined at the hip .
Pilar : Miguel , mijo , I know you feel terrible , but there s no way you could ve known .
Miguel : I should ve had my cell phone on . Kay , I m so sorry . Ok , I know how awful it must ve been for you .
Kay : No , you donT. But , you know , it does nt even matter . It does nt matter now . I mean , you ca nt do anything about it now .
Miguel : I m sorry . It will never happen again .
Kay : You know , miguel , just -- would you just please quit making promises that you ca nt keep ? I mean , how many times have you said you were going to be there for your daughter and you just go off with charity ? You know what ? I do nt even -- I do nt even want to talk about that right now . All I am worried about is maria .
Miguel : So am I.
Kay : Miguel , just go . Just go and be with charity . It s where you want to be , anyway .
Miguel : No , I want to stay . I want to stay , ok ? I want to stay here th you and maria . I want to help .
Kay : Well , you ca nt help . It s always up to the mother to take care of the child . It does nt matter if you re married or single . It s -- it s always up to the mother . It s just the reality of the situation .
Kay : I love you so much that I ca nt bear to see you so sick like this . God , I have this horrible feeling that I m going to lose you , that I m going to lose you forever . God .
Charity : You ca nt have maria . You ca nt take her .
Charity : Where d you go ? Did I just -- did I just imagine it ?
Eve : Charity , honey ? Are you ok ? Who were you talking to ?
Charity : Nobody . Is maria going to be ok ?
Eve : Well , she s still in a precarious condition , honey . I ca nt predict how it s going to go . Anyway , the antibiotics are coming , so I m going to go check on maria . Charit did I just imagine
charity : Did I just imagine that ? Did I really just see death ? Please , god , let her be all right . Please do nt take maria .
Charity : I did nt imagine you .
Death : No , charity , you did nt , and your prayers are useless .
Charity : Please do nt take her , please .
Death : Yes , maria is going to die tonight -- because of you ! White house officials call the U.N. Report frightening . 14 deaths linked by a common element . Tonight , diplomacy is dead . Reeling from the mad cow bombshell . Hospitals affected by the sars outbreak . Minus 23 degrees . Global national . It s about time .
Singer : You are my passion for life
beth : But , luis , we have a baby together .
Luis : I know that . Ok , and like I said before , I will always be here for you and the baby . Beth , we ve talked about this before , ok ? I love sheridan . Look , we ll talk more about this later , ok -- beth , I just want to make sure that you understand .
Sheridan : Hey , luis .
Luis : Hey .
Sheridan : Thank you . You know , I was thinking , maybe we should take the baby back to my --
beth : No ! I mean , no , because all of his things are here .
Luis : Beth s right . It would be better if the baby was here .
Sheridan : All right . I guess you re right . But as soon as I m showered and changed , I ll be back for the next feeding . Ok ?
Luis : Beth -- I really hope you re ok .
Beth : No , luis , I am not ok . I am not ok . I am furious !
Mrs. Wallace : Oh , gee -- lying , stealing bethie dumped again . Boo - hoo !
Beth : Damn sheridan . Damn her ! You know , if something incredible does nt happen right now to stop this , I m going to lose luis all over again .
Antonio : Alistair , we ve had this conversation before . Now , I do nt need your help . Luis is not going to steal sheridan away from me . Sheridan loves me , not luis .
Alistair : You re making a big mistake , antonio . I m your father - in - law . Trust me , I can help you .
Antonio : When have I ever trusted a crane , huh ?
Alistair : Well , perhaps you ve had reason to be weary in the past --
antonio : Yeah , I ve had a lot of reasons . A lot of reasons to hate your whole damn family . Which reminds me , I ve got a bone to pick with julian . He is not going to take theresa s son away from her .
Alistair : And how do you propose to stop him ?
Antonio : Luis and I will do it together . Julian and rebecca will have to take him away over our dead bodies .
Alistair : Such solidarity with a man who s trying to steal your wife ?
Antonio : No matter what happens , luis and I are still brothers . And we re gog g to work to expose all the crane secrets . We re going to bring down the house of crane . You can bet on that .
Theresa : Woody , please , come in .
Woody : Ah . Look , I ve filed the motion , and I need your signature in a few places .
Theresa : Ok . Why do nt we just go inside . How about that ?
Woody : Oh , ok .
Theresa : Ok . I am dying to know who this special person is who s helping us .
Woody : Just one of a lot of very special people we have working on our case .
Theresa : Oh -- I wonder who that is .
Woody : Oh , no . It ca nt be them already .
Theresa : Ca nt be who ?
Woody : Uh -- never mind . Just -- just see who it is .
Theresa : Ok . What are you doing here ?
Rebecca : We re here to take your child , theresa , just like you took gwen s child .
Alistair : Bravo . What a heartwarming speech , antonio . The brothers lopez fitzgerald against the mighty house of crane . But you should face facts . While you and luis are working totogether to bring me down , he s also going to be working his way into sheridan s bed .
Antonio : No , I m not listening to this .
Alistair : No , but you d be wise to listen . Are you willing to give luis carte blanche in your wife s boudoir just so the two of you can bring me down ?
Antonio : That s not gong to happen . Sheridan is my wife , and she s always going to be my wife .
Alistair : Not without my help .
Antonio : What are you talking about ?
Alistair : Go home , antonio . Go to sheridan s cottage . See what your wife is doing with your brother in your marriage D.D.
Alistair : When you kill your brother , antonio , I ll open a bottle of my finest champagne to celebrate .
Sheridan : Oh . That felt so good . I really needed that bath . But you know what ? I am going to get dressed now so that we can get back b beth s and be with our baby .
Luis : Sheridan , I m -- I m sure that the baby s still asleep .
Sheridan : Look , luis , I know that you do nt think that baby is mine , but I -- I know in my heart that he is .
Luis : And I -- I wish in my heart that that were true , but , sheridan , it s beth s baby .
Sheridan : Ok , you know what ? I m just too happy right now to argue about this . So let s just make a deal . Let s not talk about it . Let s just be happy that the baby is alive and that we re together , just the two of us .
Luis : I missed you . I thought I d lost you forever .
Sheridan : I know .
Luis : I missed holding you in my arms . I missed kissing you .
Sheridan : I missed you , too . I missed you so much .
Theresa : You can not take my son . You can take him away from me .
Rebecca : Oh , yes , we can . In fact , here is a court order issued by judge reilly . A court order which , by the way , supercedes any motion that has been recently filed .
Woody : May I ?
Theresa : Rebecca , please . He s my life . Julian , I know you do nt want my little boy . I know you donT. Now , tell her not to do this .
Rebecca : Julian is the boy s father , theresa , in case you ve forgotten your drunken night of love .
Theresa : Woody , can you please do something ?
Woody : This motion is ironclad .
Theresa : This ca nt be happening .
Officer : I ll have to take the child now .
Theresa : No , no , no , no . Ethan , please help me !
Rebecca : Oh , how can he help you when he s helping us ?
Theresa : What ?
Rebecca : Ethan is on our team .
Theresa : No , no .
Rebecca : Oh , yes . Yes , it s true . Ethan is giving us the benefit of his legal expertise . He is helping us to take little ethan away from you for good .
Eve : How s she doing ?
Kay : She s so lifeless , dr . Russell . Look at her little eyes .
Eve : Oh , shenonot responding to the antibiotic .
Kay : There s got to be something we can do . Why is this happening ? She was born too soon , and we thought we were going to lose her , and then she spent ll that time in the hospital . And then , you know , we finally got to bring her home and we thought she was going to be all right .
Eve : Well , kay , you know premature babies can have problems for a long time . You know , their lungs are nt -- are nt developed at first , so they re very susceptible to infections .
Kay : This is my fault . Why did I ever think I could be a good mother ? I m just a disaster .
Miguel : No . No , do nt say that . You re a wonderful mother , kay .
Kay : My baby is just slipping away from me . There s nothing I can do about it . Nothing .
Charity : What do you mean , maria has to die because of me ? What did I do ?
Death : It s what you did nt do , charity .
Charity : I do nt understand .
Death : Apparently , you ve conveniently forgotten our deal . When maria was so sick in the hospital , you prayed -- remember ? -- And I came to you , and we made a deal .
Charity : Oh -- oh , my god .
Death : That s right . You said in exchange for my not taking maria s life , you d give up miguel .
Charity : Please no .
Death : A deal s a deal , and you did nt keep your end of the bargain , so I m here to collect . I m here to take maria s life .
Charity : You canT.
Death : I can ! Yobrbroke the deal , and now maria has to die ! Ttle more variety
beth : I ca nt believe he actually went home with her . I mean , how many times can I lose the same damn man ? No matter what I do -- kidnapping sheridan , trying to kill her more than once , setting fire to the cottage , stealing her baby , lying , cheating , scheming -- it does nt matter ! I just still -- I still keep losing luis !
Mrs. Wallace : Bethie , he was never yours to lose . So drink up , missy . Because when luis finds out that this sweet little baby is sheridan s and not yours , boy , you re going to lose a lot more than luis . You re going to lose your freedom for life . And when luis is in bed with sheridan , you re going to be in bed in jail .
Antonio : Sheridan s not here . She must still be at beth s with the baby . Alistair does nt even know what he s talking about . Maybe sheridan is here . She must be in the bedroom sleeping .
Sheridan : Oh , luis .
Antonio : No , it ca nt be .
Sheridan : I love you . I love you so much .
Theresa : Ethan , is this true ? Are you really helping rebecca do this horrible thing ?
Rebecca : Oh , yes , it s true . In fact , ethan s been brilliant . He has countered every move your sleazy attorneyerere has made .
Theresa : You re my son s godfather . You promised to protect him . You promised to defend him . You promised to put his best interests in front of your own ! Now , how can you help these horrible monsters ?
Ethan : Theresa , listen to me --
theresa : I m not going to listen to you ! Damn you , ethan ! Damn you to hell !
Kay : Please do nt leave me , maria . Please try to get better . Can you do that for mommy ? You have to live . You have to .
Miguel : She s not getting better here . Why do nt we take her to the hospital ?
Eve : Miguel , sometimes the trauma of separating a baby from its parents makes things worse . You know , if I thought tre was anything that we could do at the hospital , I d say let s take her there .
Miguel : Well , we have to do something , ok ? We ca nt just let her die !
Pilar : Mijo , we have to pray . Just pray that the angel of death does not stop at this house today , ok ? We have to pray more than we ve ever prayed before .
Kay : I love you so much , maria . Please do nt leave us . You ca nt leave us .
Charity : Please do nt take the baby . She s so tiny and she s so innocent . It s not fair .
Death : No , it is nt , but whose fault is it ? You made a promise to me to stay away from miguel . In exchange , I said I d let maria live . But did you stay away from miguel ? You did not .
Charity : Please . Miguel s been through so much already . I was just trying to help him .
Death : You did what you had to do , and now I m doing what I have to do . I m here to collect on the dt you owe . The price you must pay for breaking your promise to me is maria s soul . The baby must die .
Charity : No , , , you ca nt !
Death : You made your choice , charity . Now maria must die !
Charity : Please do nt take her !
Kay : Did you hear that ?
Miguel : Hear what ?
Kay : I do nt know . It sounded like -- nothing . Maria , do nt leave us . Please do nt leave us . You have to stay with us . Stay with us .
Charity : No ! Please stop !
Theresa : I will never forget the part that you played in taking my son away from me .
Death : Are you prepared to give up miguel ? That is the only way his baby can live .
Luis : Sheridan , you and I belong together . Antonio s just going to have to accept that .
Antonio : I am not going to let luis take sheridan away from me .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Fancy : Did the lab find any other fingerprints on the pen ?
Luis : An unidentified partial print , but mainly just Chris .
Fancy : Which he said we d find .
Luis : Yeah , well , this paper is the real shocker . It s the matching ink and stock that Alistair used in his omega plot .
Fancy : Do you still think it means the plot is ongoing ?
Luis : Hell yeah . What , you think Alistair s going to let a little thing like his own death stop him from messing up other people s lives ? And I ll tell you the thing that bothers me the . Phyllis found this paper in Sheridan s cottage .
Fancy : And that was reason enough for someone to kill her .
Luis : Well , someone s afraid that Phyllis could reveal their link to Alistair .
Fancy : But who would do that , Luis ? I mean , who would kill an innocent maid just to protect themselves ?
Chris : That piece of paper was the last piece of tangible evidence that links me to Alistair and the omega plot . Sheridan ca nt accidentally stumble onto the truth . Spike is still a problem . But it s not worth killing him . At least not yet .
Sheridan : Chris . Were you burning something ?
Miguel : Thank you so much for hearing me out . Look , you ve known Kay her whole life , and you worked with Ivy for years , so -- so I m just hoping you can help me make sense of what s happened tonight .
Pilar : Ok , I ll do my best .
Miguel : Look , I ca nt believe that Kay knew Ivy was scheming to break up the Bennett s marriage and let her get away with it .
Pilar : Honestly , mijo , I am not surprised that Ivy would do something like that . She s tried to get Sam back for years , but the fact that Kay knew and kept it quiet -- I m shocked .
Miguel : Not telling anyone that Ivy hired David Hastings to pretend to be Grace s first husband -- that led to Grace leaving with David , Mama .
Pilar : I know , and it let Sam be free to be with Ivy .
Miguel : Kay s silence destroyed Sam and Grace s lives , her siblings lives , and Sam and Grace s marriage , Mama . How could Kay be so heartless as to let her own family be torn apart ?
Fox : Hey , listen , Kay . Listen , I do nt care what Miguel or anyone else thinks , ok ? I still love you . And I want to marry you , and I want to be a family with you and Maria .
Kay : Thanks , Fox . Thank you for not judging me . Really -- you really are , like , my rock .
Fox : I love you , Kay . Can I get you something to drink ? Some hot tea or something ?
Kay : Yeah . Yeah , actually , that would be great . Some tea would be nice , thanks .
Kay : Miguel -- Dad , look , I m really sorry for --
Sam : I do nt want to hear it , Kay , ok ? I just came to get my keys so I can get the hell away from you and Ivy .
Noah : Dad , what s going on ? Why are you so angry at Kay ?
Sam : Tell him , Kay . Tell him !
Noah : Kay ?
Kay : He s upset because he found out that David was nt Mom s first husband , so John s not Mom s son with him either .
Noah : What ?
Kay : Ivy , uh , used David to get rid of Mom so Dad would be free to marry her .
Noah : Oh , my God .
Sam : Tell him the rest .
Kay : I ve known for a really long time , and I did nt say anything until now .
Noah : What ? You --
Jessica : Kay , how could you ?
Kay : Jessica --
Spike : Way to go , Kay . Well , it looks like it s a slam - dunk for you taking my place as the black sheep of this family .
Fox : I m really sorry , Mom . Is there anything I can do ?
Ivy : Yeah , Fox , there is . You could rip out Kay s vocal chords for blabbing that I used David Hastings to get rid of Grace and have Sam for myself .
Gwen s Voice : So that s what Ivy did .
Ethan : Mother , what did you just say ?
Ivy : Ethan , I -- I can explain .
Gwen s Voice : Oh , damn it , Ivy . Now I ll be stuck here listening to this when I want to know if J.T. told my mother what Theresa s secret is .
Theresa : J.T. said he would keep quiet and leave town once I pay him off .
Whitney : Well , what if J.T. tells somebody your secret before you get a chance to give him the money , like , I do nt
Rebecca : This is the last of the ice , J.T.
J.T. : Thanks , Becks . This will numb the pain from where you put the squeeze on me .
Rebecca : It s just you know how I hate to be kept waiting . Oh , which reminds me , you still have to tell me Theresa s secret . So what is it , J.T. ? What is she trying to hide ?
Miguel : I do nt understand how Kay could let Ivy use David Hastings to rip apart the Bennett s marriage and keep quiet about it until now , Mama . I thought that being a mother had changed Kay , had made her more mature .
Pilar : Well , I think she has changed , mijo .
Miguel : Then why would she keep a secret like this for so long , knowing what it would do to her family ?
Pilar : I do nt know . Sit down . I ca nt understand it either , Miguel , but what -- tell me what did Kay say in her defense ?
Miguel : That -- that when she first found out that Ivy had set up her mom , she was already so angry at Grace for always taking Charity s side , that she just wanted to pay her back . She wanted to hurt her mother like Kay felt Grace had hurt her .
Pilar : I do nt agree with what she did at all , but I -- her reasons are understandable .
Miguel : Understandable ? You find her reasons understandable , Mama ? After all you talk about family coming first , you re going to take Kay s side ?
Sam : I ca nt go . Jessica and Noah need me .
Kay : Would you stop laughing ? This is nt funny .
Spike : Oh , come on . You kidding ? This is hysterical .
Noah : Spike , why are you here ? I thought you and Jessica moved out .
Spike : Well , I just brought my blushing bride over to pick up some more of her stuff , but it turns out we could nt have come at a better time , right ?
Sam : Why do nt you shut the hell up , ok ? It s none of your damn business .
Spike : Oh , Dad -- now , is that a cool way to talk to your son - in - law ? Really , come on .
Jessica : Kay , wait , you knew Mom and Dad were being set up and you did nt say anything ?
Kay : Yes , I knew , I knew . Ivy , when she could nt get Mom away from Dad , she did everything she could to break them up , so she hired this David guy to come to Harmony and pretend to be Mom s first husband . She even concocted this whole back - story about their life together . She had fake papers and documents , everything . God , she even hired a man to pose as the priest who remembered marrying them in Connecticut .
Jessica : Oh , my God , Kay . What Ivy did was horrible , but what you did was even worse .
Kay : I know , and I m sorry . Can you forgive me ? Noah , come on , you re my brother . Say something .
Noah : Do nt talk to me . I ca nt believe you let Ivy do this to us .
Ethan : Gwen and I just came over he to discuss plans for your wedding , and I did nt expect to hear --
Ivy : I know , I know , I know . It s just -- it s all a nightmare .
Gwen s Voice : I bet my mother s still with J.T. at that motel . Ugh , I do nt even want to think about what they re doing .
Ivy : I just wanted to be with your father , that s all . And I tried so many times to win Sam back , and he just kept insisting on staying with Grace . So I tried another tactic , and I had David use Grace to free up Sam , and it worked . It worked , you know ? Grace and David even fell in love and went to Europe . And Sam could come back to me , and he did . He did . And we would be getting married tomorrow if Kay had nt opened up her big mouth .
Ethan : Mother , Kay ? I ca nt believe you re going to stand here and blame everything that s happened on Kay . This is all your doing .
Fox : Hey , ease up on her , Ethan , all right ? All Mother tried to do was make up for what Governor Winthrop and Alistair took from her all those years ago .
Ethan : Oh , come on . By costing an entire family its happiness ?
Fox : Mother loves Sam very much , and all she wanted to do was be with him . It s like the saying goes , all is fair in love and war , Ethan .
Ivy : Thank you , Fox .
Ethan : All s fair in -- am I even related to you ? Lies are wrong , ok ? Manipulating people is wrong .
Fox : Not always .
Ethan : No , for me , it always is . For Gwen , it always is . It s wrong . And anyone who -- who lies to keep a person in their life never loved the person to begin with .
Theresa : So , Little Ethan s back at the mansion ? Ok , thank you . Um , just tell him that I ll be home soon . Bye .
Whitney : Why is nt Chad answering his phone ?
Chad : I ve got to get ready for my honey .
Whitney : Um , I ll try Chad again later .
Theresa : You re not back to thinking that he might be having an affair , are you ?
Whitney : No . No , no , no , I -- I know everything s fine . Chad just went to run a couple errands , and I just wanted to check on him . It s no big deal .
Theresa : Ok .
Whitney : So , back to you paying off J.T. Cornell .
Theresa : Right , I got ta do it in order to keep him quiet about Ethan being Little Ethan s father .
Whitney : Ethan hates lies -- hates being lied to , and you not telling him that he s really Little Ethan s father ? You re forcing him to live a lie , Theresa .
Theresa : Yeah , but you know what , Whitney ? He s actually already living a lie , you know ? Pretending that he s been faithful to Gwen when he s cheated on her with me .
Whitney : Do nt change the subject . Ethan does nt have a chance to be with his own son .
Theresa : You know what ? He s with him all the time , ok ? They were just playing together earlier . And Ethan may not know that he s actually Little Ethan s father , but you know what ? He is certainly his father figure .
Whitney : It s not the same thing and you know it , for either of them .
Theresa : Ok , you re right . But I ca nt tell him the truth , Whitney , because I ca nt risk Ethan suing me for custody of Little Ethan . Little Ethan would lose out on inheriting the empire one day , so I have to find J.T. , I ve got to pay him off to keep my secret safe .
Whitney : Ok , fine . So , when are you going to do it ? When are you going to pay off J.T. ?
Theresa : Once he calls me to tell me where he is .
J.T. : Ok . I will tell you Theresa s secret after we make whoopee .
Rebecca : All right . Pleasure before business . Why do nt I call room service , though , so we can set the mood .
J.T. : Yeah , well , I think you re going to have to go out . Room service here is a can of bug spray and the address of the local free clinic .
Rebecca : Oh , ok then , why do nt I go and get us some bubbly and some munchies ?
J.T. : Sounds perfect .
Rebecca : But you , do nt go anywhere --
J.T. : Oh no .
Rebecca : Until I get back .
J.T. : Oh no . I wo nt .
J.T. : Life is good . It s about to get even better .
Theresa : Hello ?
J.T. : Hello , Theresa , it s J.T. Been a change of plans .
Theresa : Wait a minute , J.T. We -- we had a deal .
J.T. : Had is right . Rebecca s here and she wants to know your secret .
Theresa : J.T. , no -- you -- you ca nt tell her .
J.T. : Maybe I will , maybe I wo nt . It s all up to you .
Fancy : If Phyllis was murdered because she found a piece of paper connected to my grandfather s omega plot in Aunt Sheridan s cottage , then you re right . Aunt Sheridan , Chris , and James are all in danger .
Luis : Yeah , you got two out of three .
Fancy : What , you think Chris is involved with omega ?
Luis : Who else ?
Fancy : He s Aunt Sheridan s husband . James father .
Luis : Pretty good cover , do nt you think ?
Fancy : But Chris loves Aunt Sheridan .
Luis : Look at the facts , ok ? The mansion was burglarized by somebody who knew the family s personal alarm code . Chris got that from Sheridan .
Fancy : But for Chris to shoot your mother ?
Luis : She could have IDed him the same as Phyllis , only Mama lucked out .
Fancy : No , no , wait . Chris ca nt be your perp .
Luis : Why not ?
Fancy : He was shot in the leg outside the cottage that time .
Luis : He could have shot himself .
Fancy : What ?
Luis : Yeah , I m telling --
Fancy : You re crazy .
Luis : I am not crazy . I m telling you the pros do that . It s not cheap , but Alistair s got deep pockets .
Fancy : Oh , Luis , I do nt know . If Chris does nt love Aunt Sheridan , she d be devastated .
Luis : Hello ? Another win for Alistair . And remember , Chris was Spike s alibi the night that my mother got shot .
Fancy : Yeah , Chris said he saw Spike at the fair .
Luis : That s right , and we know that Spike s working for Alistair , or at least he was . They could both be working together to finish whatever it was that Alistair started .
Fancy : Spike maybe , but Chris ?
Luis : It s a perfect situation , ok ? Look , Chris has access to the mansion , to Crane Industries , to everything . Come on .
Fancy : Where are we going ?
Luis : Where are we going ? We re going to Sheridan s cottage to get her away from Chris . She s sleeping with the enemy .
Sheridan : What were you burning ?
Chris : I was trying to make a fire , but I ran out of matches .
James : There s some right there .
Chris : Oh , I did nt even see them . I noticed the nights were getting cooler , and I know how you love to sit by the fire and read .
Sheridan : Among other things . You re so good to me . You re so good to both James and me . Do nt know what we would do without you , do we , sweetheart ?
James : No , I love my daddy .
Sheridan : I love him , too .
James : Can I go play with Little Ethan now ?
Chris : Is nt it getting a little close to your bedtime , son ?
Sheridan : Oh , normally I would agree , but look how excited he is to spend time with his cousin .
James : Please , Daddy ?
Chris : Ok , you can go and hang out with Little Ethan for a while .
Sheridan : Ok , I ll go walk him up to the mansion .
Chris : You know what ? Why do nt you stay here and relax ? I ll take him up .
Sheridan : Ok .
Chris : Come on , son .
Chris : Go on , run up ahead . I ll catch up .
James : Ok , Daddy .
Noah : I was bad enough , pretending to be in grad school when I was really in Vegas gambling , but the only person I was hurting was myself . You knowing what Ivy was doing and keeping that to yourself ? You did nt just hurt you , you hurt Jessica --
Spike : Yeah .
Chris : Spike , it s me , Chris .
Spike : Yeah , dude . What s shaking ?
Chris : Listen , I need to see you right away .
Spike : Why ?
Chris : You ll find out when you get here . Meet me outside Sheridan s cottage on the Crane mansion . And be careful , they ve got extra security .
Spike : Yeah , do nt worry about it . I ll see you in a few .
Noah : Not even close .
Chris : Sheridan thinks I m here to take care of her . If only she knew what a threat I represent .
Ethan : I just ca nt believe that someone I love so much is such a liar . For years you lied to me about whose son I was . Kept me away from Sam , did nt you ? You kept me away from his love , you kept me away from his attention , his time , and now this ? You used David Hastings to ruin my dad s marriage to Grace ? For what , to get your old boyfriend back ?
Ivy : Sam is more than that . He s much more than that . He is the only man I have ever truly loved .
Ethan : You call it love , Mother . I m sorry , I call it sick . What you did was a play right out of Alistair s playbook .
Fox : All right , that s not fair . Grandfather was out to hurt people . Mother was nt , all right ? It just happened .
Ethan : No . That s no excuse . What Mother did was very wrong , and if you ca nt see that , Fox , there s something wrong with you .
Gwen : Excuse me .
Gwen : Hello .
Rebecca : Gwennie , it s me .
Gwen : Ok , did you get what you need from J.T. ?
Rebecca : Well , no , not yet . I mean , so far we re just making out .
Gwen : Mother , did you get him to tell you Theresa s secret ?
Rebecca : Oh , that ? No , no , not yet . We decided to share our passion for passion , and then we ll share information .
Gwen : Ok , why are you wasting time ?
Rebecca : Honey , it is never a waste of time to give and receive pleasure .
Gwen : It is when we are playing catch - up with Theresa .
Rebecca : Honey , trust me , all right ? I will get J.T. to tell me what Theresa is up to , but what s going on there ?
Gwen : Well , Ivy has been exposed .
Rebecca : People must be dropping like flies .
Gwen : No , Mother , I mean that her secret is out .
Rebecca : Oh . Oh , my . Well , which one ?
Gwen : That she used David Hastings to break up Sam and Grace s marriage so she could get Sam back .
Rebecca : Ugh , I already knew that one .
Gwen : Yeah , and Kay knew , too . She finally admitted it .
Rebecca : Kay knew ?
Gwen : Look , Mother , I will fill you in later , after you get J.T. to tell you Theresa s secret .
Rebecca : Honey , do nt worry . I will get what I came for ... and the dish on Theresa .
Chad : Get some ice while I m waiting . I feel bad about slipping out on Whitney , but I need this more than I ever knew . And Whitney just would nt understand .
Whitney : Still no word from Chad .
Theresa : Ok , J.T. , so -- so you re with Rebecca right now ?
J.T. : That s right , Mrs. Crane , and if you do nt up the ante , I m going to tell her everything .
Theresa : J.T. , you ca nt .
J.T. : Going once . Going twice .
Theresa : Ok , J.T. , just wait for one second , ok ? You are selling yourself to the highest bidder , I will -- I will double what I agreed , ok ? Um , look , and Rebecca , she -- she ca nt match that .
J.T. : Deal . Get the cash . Bring it to the Safari Motel .
Theresa : All right . I m on my way . And listen , after I pay you , you have got to get out of town . You can not tell a soul that Ethan is Little Ethan s father .
J.T. : Just show me the money , honey .
Theresa : I ve got to get the money , and then we got ta go to the Safari Motel , ok ?
Whitney : Why would he be staying at a dump like that ?
Theresa : I think it s all he could afford .
Whitney : Well , I suppose so .
Rebecca : You know , it is such a shame that Kay squealed on Ivy .
Gwen : Ivy and Sam were going at it a while ago .
Gwen : Mother , can you please focus long enough to get J.T. to tell you Theresa s secret ?
Rebecca : Uh , of course I can .
Gwen : You know , I m hoping that Ethan will just hate Theresa for her secret . He really let Ivy have it for scheming to get Sam . He s going on and on about how much he hates liars and lies .
Rebecca : That does nt bode well for Taco - cita .
Gwen : Yeah , or us if Ethan ever finds out we were the ones who exposed his true paternity and framed Theresa for it .
Rebecca : Honey , we re going to find out Theresa s secret and use it against her to get rid of her .
Rebecca : Honey , do nt worry . I know what I m doing . Oh , darn . I forgot the condoms .
Ethan : You know , Gwen , I never would have believed that my mother could be so devious , especially considering how she s always claimed to love my father more than anything else . But she did . She turned Sam s and my family members lives upside down just to be with him -- just to get him back -- without any regard to the people that she hurt .
Fox : Try not to worry , Mom . Ethan will get over what you did to Sam . He loves you too much not to .
Ivy : I m not so sure , Fox . Not after what Kay did . Well , at least one good thing came out of it .
Fox : What s that ?
Ivy : You ve realized that Kay ca nt be trusted before you married her and now you re free to find some nice girl to be with .
Fox : But I love Kay , Mother , and I always will , no matter what .
Pilar : You still love her , and you have a daughter together .
Miguel : What s your point ?
Pilar : My point is this -- everyone makes mistakes , you included . Leaving Kay and Maria to go looking for Charity was selfish and irresponsible of you .
Miguel : You re right , and I know that now .
Pilar : Obviously , Kay is sorry for what she s done , too .
Miguel : I guess .
Pilar : So what s the problem ? I know you still love Kay and Maria , so prove it . You need to be by Kay s side while she needs you the most . Marry her , Miguel .
Kay : Please , please , you guys , forgive me . I -- I know keeping quiet about Ivy was wrong , but I m really , really sorry .
Spike : Baby , something came up . I got to go . I ll see you later , ok ?
Jessica : Wait , wait , but , Spike --
Kay : Noah , please , will you forgive me ? Jess ? Dad ? Look , I do nt know what you guys want me to do . I said I m sorry .
Sam : Grace was my wife . Your mother . Their mother . And you let Ivy take her away from us . You did this , Kay . You .
Ivy : Fox , I m sorry , I do nt understand . How can you want to be with Kay , much less marry her , after what she s done ?
Fox : Well , no offense , Mother , but you re in no position to judge Kay .
Ethan : I ll say .
Fox : All right , I m not condemning you the way that Ethan is . I get that what you did , you did it out of love . But sitting here and beating up Kay for keeping your secret ? I do nt think so , Mom .
Ivy : I do nt get it , ok ? How does Kay manage to keep Fox in love with her ?
Kay : Look , I m really sorry for hurting all of you and I hope that one day you can forgive me .
Sam : Oh , my God . Ivy , what are you doing here ? I told you to get out .
Ivy : I -- Ethan and Gwen just stopped by to discuss our wedding .
Sam : Oh , my God . I would never marry you , ok ? Never .
Ivy : Sam , I know what I did was wrong , but what I did , I did --
Sam : Just get out , Ivy . Get out !
Miguel : So , you re saying you still want me to marry Kay ?
Pilar : Aye , mijo , it s not about what I want . It s about you , about you being honest with yourself . What Kay did has nt stopped you from loving her , has it ? And in that heart of yours , I know you have it in there to forgive her . Follow your heart . Forgive Kay and marry her .
Chris : So where s Spike ?
Spike : Hey , man , I m here . What s up ?
Chris : Look , I ll cut to the chase , hmm ? Quick , let s get out of here .
Spike : What the hell are those two bozos doing here ?
Chris : I do nt know .
Spike : Can you hear what they re saying ?
Chris : Damn it , no .
Fancy : I doubt that Aunt Sheridan will take this well .
Luis : She s asleep .
Fancy s voice : If only Luis could look at me the way he looks at Aunt Sheridan .
Luis : She looks so peaceful .
Fancy : She finally has the family she s always wanted .
Luis : In her dreams .
Fancy : Do we really have to spring this on her tonight ?
Luis : Well , do you want to wait till morning , till something terrible happens ?
Fancy : No , it s just that we re throwing Aunt Sheridan s life in turmoil .
Luis : Yeah , well , it s the way it has to be . Look , I do nt see Chris around . Come on , let s get this taken care of .
Chris : What are they doing ?
Luis : Who s there ? ?
Fancy : Oh , it s cook s cat , Emeril .
Luis : Emeril . That must have been the noise we heard , right ?
Spike : Good kitty .
Luis : Let s do what we came here to do .
Fancy : Aunt Sheridan s going to be so upset .
Luis : Well , it ca nt be helped . As a cop , you have to make the best of a bad situation , ok ?
Fancy : Yeah , how ?
Luis : How ? You stay calm , you stay focused , and you treat people the same way that you d want them to treat you .
Fancy : You re really good , Luis . I can see why Sam put you in charge of new recruits .
Luis : Well , it s hard when it s personal .
Spike : That was close .
Chris : Yeah , let s get out of here .
Fancy : I ll wake up Aunt Sheridan , and you give her the bad news .
Luis : Hey , do nt wake her up yet , ok ? Want to make sure we re alone first .
Fancy : You never have a moment s peace .
Luis : Chris and James are nt here , so --
Sheridan : Luis . Fancy . What are you two doing here ?
Luis : Where s James ?
Sheridan : He s up at the mansion playing with Little Ethan . Why ?
Luis : Go check on James .
Luis : [ Whispering ] Hey , hey , hey . And be on the lookout for Chris .
Sheridan : Wait a minute , why -- why have Fancy go check on James ? He s with Little Ethan s nanny .
Luis : Because I wanted us to speak in private .
Sheridan : What -- what about ?
Luis : Phyllis murder . I came here to arrest our killer .
Gwen : Ok , I wonder which room my mother and J.T. are in .
Whitney : There is no way we should even be in this part of town with that much cash .
Theresa : Yeah , yeah .
Whitney : How much is in that thing anyway ?
Theresa : You do nt want to know .
Whitney : That much ?
Theresa : Yeah . More .
Whitney : Oh , that s great . This place is even more disgusting than I even imagined it would be . Who would stay in a place like this ?
Theresa : Well , it s cheap . Nobody questions what you are doing .
Whitney : Who are you calling ?
Theresa : Um , J.T. He did nt give me the room number .
Whitney : We could ask the front desk . I m sure they -- oh , yeah . Do nt ask , do nt tell . Got it .
Theresa : And he s not answering . Great . Well , I think we could find the room eventually , right ?
Chad : Thought I heard Whitney . Must be my guilty conscience . There s no way Whitney would be at a place like is
Theresa : Oh , my gosh .
Whitney : Please tell me why exactly you think this is J.T. s room ?
Theresa : You seriously do nt smell that ?
Whitney : Of course I smell it . It s disgusting .
Theresa : Yeah , it s his cologne .
Whitney : Smells like hay in a dirty horse stall or something .
Theresa : All right , J.T. Cornell , right there on the tag .
Whitney : Well , I hear running water .
Theresa : That s why he did nt answer the call . Ok . J.T. ? I m here . I ve got the money . Please , just come on out . Count it if you like . Take it and run , and take my secret with you .
Kay : My family hates me . Why should nt they ? I did a horrible thing , and I let Ivy ruin my parents marriage . God . Well , at least Fox understands , and I just wish Miguel did . Please , God , just let him know how sorry I am . Just let him somehow find it in his heart to forgive me .
Sam : Ivy , I told you I do nt want you here . I want you to leave .
Fox : Sam , Mother s sorry for what she did .
Sam : She s sorry the truth came out . Now , get out of my sight .
Fox : Ca nt you just --
Ethan : Fox , why do nt you let it go just for now .
Ivy : If I could just explain --
Fox : Mother , Ethan s right , ok ? Not now .
Ethan : Dad , I m sorry .
Noah : Me , too .
Jessica : How could Kay do something like this ?
Sam : Lies . All lies .
Rebecca : I ca nt wait to see if these things really do glow in the dark . Man flesh ! Oh , my . It s Chad . And he s naked . Oh , honey . You need a license to carry that thing ? Wait a minute , what s Chad doing at a place like this ? He s not here to see Whitney , but -- oh , my goodness . Chad is having an affair .
Theresa : J.T. ? Come on , hurry up . I do nt want Rebecca coming back before you take this money and run . Come on . Finally .
Gwen : Hello . Looks like you re a little late , Theresa . My mother and I already spoke to J.T.
Sheridan : You came to arrest the man who murdered Phyllis ?
Luis : That s right .
Sheridan : Well , who is it ? Who murdered her ?
Luis : Where s Chris ?
Sheridan : Why do you keep asking where Chris is ? Wait a minute , you re still convinced that Chris murdered Phyllis ?
Chris : What s with the smug look ? What have you done ?
Spike : Well , it s not what I ve done , amigo . It s what you ve done .
Chris : What are you talking about ?
Spike : You killed her , you killed her .
Valerie : Whitney , it s not what you think .
Luis : If I was married to you , I would nt leave you unprotected .
Gwen : It s over for you . It is over .
### Summary:
| Rebecca agreed to make whoopee with JT Cornell before he tells her Theresa s secret , then runs out to buy supplies to keep them busy . JT is staying in the same motel where Chad meets his lover , and Bex managed to see him in his room , nude , and surmise he s having an affair . After she left the room , JT called Theresa to let her know he was about to spill the beans unless she gets there first with the money , so she and Whitney go get the amount specified and take off to meet him at the motel . Once they find his room , however , they are met by Gwen , who tells them JT already told her and Bex the secret . Fox was very accepting and forgiving of both Kay and Ivy for what they did to Grace , but Sam , Noah , Ethan , and Jessica are nt in the mood to forgive either woman . Miguel is also upset , not understanding how Kay could do such a thing , but Pilar talked him into forgiving her so she will marry him instead of Fox . Chris managed to burn the incriminating paper he took from Phyllis before he ( apparently ) killed her , and played the loving family man with Sheridan and James before setting up a meeting with Spike . Once Sheridan was napping and James was playing with Little Ethan , he left to meet his partner in crime . At the same time , Luis and Fancy were on their way to arrest him , having figured out he is the only one who could have done it and that he is also connected to Alistair . Once they arrived at the cottage , Luis sent Fancy to check on James while he told Sheridan why they were there . Outside , Chris and Spike saw them coming and hid , and later Spike chuckled about the fact Chris killed the maid . |

Brady : Here s an idea . Just let the staff take care of the prep .
Theresa : I just want everything to be right . You know , this is my one and only engagement party , so .
Brady : Did I call it an engagement party ? I think it s just a little family thing to announce .
Theresa : A little family thing ?
Brady : Yeah .
Theresa : Okay , when 40 % of your family secretly kind of hates me , it s not little . I just -- I just want everything to be perfect .

Theresa : Mm - hmm , completely .
Brady : That s all we need . Done , game over . You and me , we re happy .
Theresa : Mm , and this ring that you put on my ... no -- what happened to my ring ? Oh , God .
Ben : Our baby boy has gotten so big . The day he was born , I could hold him in one hand . Feels like yesterday ... in our cozy cabin .
Abigail : Chad !
Ben : Shh .
Ben : You ll wake the baby . We do nt want to scare him , do we ?
Maggie : I m sorry . I did nt mean to snap at you .
Nicole : It s all right , Maggie . You re not yourself right now , are you ?

Marlena : All right . So you re comfortable raising a toast to their engage--
John : Let s just not use that word right now , but yeah , I m gon na be there . I m gon na be there . I mean , what kind of message would I be sending to Brady if I did nt attend this party ? I - I -- dont want him to have to choose between Theresa and me , and I want access to my grandchild .
Marlena : Good thinking .
John : I want to be a real dad , doc , and if that means I just have to suck it up around Theresa , you know , I can do that .
Marlena : Because you are as smart as you are handsome , and I just love you .
Theresa : No , no , no , no , no , no , no , no .
Brady : Hang -- look , look , hang on . Do nt panic .
Theresa : I can not believe I lost my ring .
Brady : Theresa , slow down . Just retrace your steps .
Theresa : Everywhere -- I have been everywhere in this room since I got here .
Brady : Did you take it off when you were getting ready tonight ?
Theresa : No , I m positive .
Brady : Theresa , Theresa--
Theresa : Hey .
Brady : Get off the floor . You re panicking .
Theresa : Everybody freeze . Stop whatever you re doing . We are missing a very distinctive , one - of - a - kind diamond ring . I ll give $ 1,000 to whoever finds it .
Ben : He looks so peaceful when he s sleeping . I wish I could see his eyes , but if he wakes up , I do nt know if I ll be able to get him to go back to sleep . I m out of practice .
Abigail : I can show you how to soothe him . I ll teach you , if you just give him to me--
Ben : No , no , no , no , no , no , no , you do nt . You re a baby hog . I remember that . This is my time with my son . I missed him so much . Every night in that place ... I dreamed of him . You know ?
Abigail : I do know , Ben . I understand , Ben .
Ben : I dream about you too . I miss my family . My family that Chad took away . Chad destroyed everything .
Chad : Come on . [ Grunting ]
Theresa : We should work a grid .
Brady : Excuse me , what ?
Theresa : You know , that s what they say on those cop shows when they re looking for clues .
Brady : Theresa -- hey , hey , I think -- stop . Everyone s on it , okay . Now that it s worth $ 1,000 , you re gon na be fine .
Theresa : Okay .
Belle : Hi , Brady .
Brady : Hey , belle .
Belle : Uh , yeah , what s going on ?
Brady : Um , well , we lost the ring--
Theresa : Of keys . My keys to the townhouse . I m sure they ll turn up .
Belle : Oh .
Brady : Hi .
Theresa : Hi , hey , hi .
Belle : Hi -- ooh .
Theresa : Uh ... [ Breathes heavily ] Was he invited ?
Brady : Yes , he called , and he asked if he could come with belle .
Belle : Uh , what s going on ?
Theresa : [ Sighs ]
Dario : Mr. Kiriakis , it s good to see you .
Victor : Is it ? If you re looking to get your job back at Titan back , forget about it .
Dario : I m just here visiting family .
Victor : I would nt hire you back as a night janitor .
Maggie : Victor , stop .
Victor : You know what this whelp did ? He walked out on the argentine division with no warning , no replacement in sight .
Dario : I am sorry , sir . I truly am . If I could ve stayed for a transition , I would ve .
Victor : What the hell was the big damn rush ?
Dario : I was losing my soul in that place .
Victor : Oh , for the love of-- you ca nt find your soul in a corporate office .
Dario : Exactly .
Victor : What are you doing here ? Are you with this one ?
Nicole : Lovely to see you too , Victor .
Maggie : You know , you need to hush , and you need to thank them both .
Victor : Oh , hell froze ?
Nicole : Your wife was in the middle of the Horton square--
Maggie : Yes , Nicole and Dario , they helped me to get home , out of the rain . I did nt have an umbrella . I want to thank you both for going out of your way . I really appreciate it .
Abigail : I m so sorry it s been so hard for you , Ben . Why do nt you come over here and sit down with me and tell me everything ?
Ben : I can tell you everything from right here .
Abigail : But I ca nt even see you over there .
Ben : Is that sad for you , Abigail ? You miss my face ? What would Chad think about that ?
Abigail : This is nt about Chad .
Ben : Really ? So you would have had me locked up in that hellhole all on your own ?
Abigail : I - I did nt know that that was--
Ben : It was a psychiatric facility . Thought it would be a good time ? I did nt belong there . I needed you . I needed my son . What the hell are you doing in this house of horrors ?
Abigail : If you sit with me , Ben , I can tell you all about it .
Ben : Nothing -- you will tell me nothing . You want to sacrifice yourself ? I ca nt stop you . But I will save my son from Chad DiMera .
Theresa : [ Laughs ]
Brady : No , nothing s wrong . Like -- like I told Philip when he called , you re both welcome .
Theresa : Okay , I m gon na go look for those , um , keys .
Belle : Would you like a drink ?
Philip : Sure , whatever you re having .
Belle : Play nice , please .
Philip : Why d you say yes to me coming here tonight ?
Brady : Because it was a lot easier than having belle on my back about it .
Philip : So the fact that it s a family party has nothing to do with it ?
Brady : What do you -- what do you-- what do you want to hear , hmm ? You betrayed Victor . That s what you did .
Philip : Okay , no , that is not what hap--
Brady : You give Deimos a valuable formula that Victor has moved heaven and earth to try to develop--
Philip : Because my father said , get Deimos to trust you and report back to me . Prove to me that I can trust you . There was only one way that was gon na happen . Deimos was never gon na fast track with that formula . I would ve taken everything I learned straight back to my father . The old man jumped the gun .
Brady : So you get into bed with Deimos initially , and somehow this is Victor s fault .
Philip : Because my father is never unreasonable ? Tell me , Brady , how did you end up tossed out of Titan ?
Brady : [ Scoffs ]
Philip : You fell in love with a woman Victor did nt like , and he called that a betrayal . Is that how it went ?
Brady : Philip , those are two very different things , and I do nt have -- you know what ? I do nt want to talk about this with you right now . I m not gon na get into it with you now .
Philip : Whatever you say .
Belle : Here you go .
Philip : Thanks .
Belle : Philip ?
Philip : I need some air .
Belle : What just happened here ?
Nicole : So , listen , we re -- we re gon na go , okay ? Feel better .
Maggie : I will , thanks .
Nicole : All right . Victor , always a pleasure .
Victor : Horton town center has a roof .
Maggie : But not when you get outside .
Victor : So , you forgot your umbrella . What about your car ? I m not getting any younger . If you could save me some time and tell me the truth now ...
Maggie : I do nt know what you mean . Okay , I had a little dizzy spell .
Victor : I ll call the doctor .
Maggie : Oh , do nt you start on that now .
Victor : You have nt been feeling well all day , and now this .
Maggie : I m not sick . I got a bit emotional . I saw my daughter .
Victor : That summer woman ? And she set you off ?
Maggie : Not intentionally , not at all . She s complex , and she s sweet , and she s clearly had a hard life and ...
Victor : She s trouble . The girl is trouble .
Summer : [ Sighs ]
Abigail : You know what , Ben ? You re right . We could go away together . We can go anywhere you want to go . Well -- well go together . We can leave and go anywhere--
Ben : All of a sudden , you want to go with me ?
Abigail : Yeah , we can-- we can go -- all of us , we can go together .
Ben : Oh , it s because of the baby . You want to be with the baby .
Abigail : Thomas is my son . You ca nt go without--
Ben : Who -- who ? Who the hell is Thomas ?
Abigail : Thomas is my son . That s Thomas .
Ben : Colin .
Ben : My son s name is Colin . You ca nt change that . Did you ... is that what his name says on the birth certificate ? Why would you do that ?
Abigail : We decided it would be best for--
Ben : Who -- who -- who s -- who s -- who s we ? Who decides that they can rename my son ? I decide what my son s name is .
Abigail : He s not your son !
Ben : What ?
Abigail : Thomas is nt your son . You re not the father . Chad is .
Chad : [ Screaming ] JJ ! [ Grunting ]
Chad : [ Screams ]
Dario : So , has Victor gotten more ...
Nicole : Cranky ? Irrational ? Oh , yeah , and he s squishier , believe it or not . That s Maggie s influence .
Dario : So glad I do nt work for him anymore .
Nicole : Sounded like the feeling was mutual .
Dario : You want to grab some dinner ?
Nicole : No , I -- I m making it an early night .
Dario : That was just an excuse to get out of the party .
Nicole : Was it that obvious ?
Dario : Maggie bought it . I did nt .
Nicole : I m just 99 % sure it s an engagement party , and I just ca nt . I - I m truly happy for Theresa and Brady , but it s just ... it s too close and too far away .
Dario : Yeah .
Nicole : Do you think Maggie could tell ? Oh , great , now -- now I feel selfish .
Dario : No , no , no , no , no . She had other things on her mind . You really care about her , huh ?
Nicole : She is one of the most generous , forgiving people in the world .
Dario : And ?
Nicole : Does nt seem like my type , or I m not hers ?
Dario : [ Laughs ] No , I would nt say that .
Nicole : Well , you would be the first who would nt , then , because I worked hard to win Maggie s trust , but we got there .
Dario : You looked out for her today .
Nicole : Every day now . So I have to ask : Should I be worried about summer hurting Maggie ?
Maggie : Any trouble in summer s life began with me .
Victor : And now she sees a payoff .
Maggie : I honestly do nt see any ulterior motives here . I mean , she was packing to leave when I found her .
Victor : Yeah , and I bet you , you did nt have any trouble talking her out of it .
Maggie : Well , I do nt know about that . I know you re looking out for me , but she s my daughter , and Victor , I need for you to give summer a chance . Oh , dear . Is this the time ? We got to get dressed for Brady s party .
Victor : Oh , I m gon na pass on that .
Maggie : They said it was important . They want the whole family there .
Victor : I can not sit and watch that she - devil drag Brady around by the nose and make polite conversation .
Maggie : Well , no one expects polite conversation from you , dear , but they still invite you .
Victor : Yeah , well , that s their first mistake .
Maggie : Brady really wants you there , and I m gon na go , regardless of what you say , but it s sure I would feel a whole lot better with you on my arm .
Victor : So I m going to be eye candy ?
Maggie : Mm .
Victor : And I do nt have to be nice ?
Maggie : Oh .
Victor : I ll stay an hour .
Maggie : [ Chuckles ]
Belle : Do you know how hard it was to convince Philip to call and ask to be invited to his own family s party ?
Brady : That s a question that I do nt think about at all .
Belle : All right , well , he came here tonight because we hoped -- he hoped that he would be able to work things out with you .
Brady : Wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , we -- we hoped is what you said . Do nt tell me you guys are a unit or something .
Belle : Well , how much grief would it get me if the answer was yes ?
Brady : Some . Not a lot , but some . Does he -- does he make you happy ? Does he treat you well ?
Belle : Yes and yes .
Brady : Then I guess I m happy about it .
Belle : That was easy .
Brady : Who would I be to warn you about someone , anyway ? I mean , for six months , people warned me about Theresa , and they were dead wrong about her .
Belle : Hmm , so things are good between you ? She s getting herself together ?
Brady : Oh , she s totally together .
Theresa : [ Sighing ] I mean ... it should be so shiny that it s glowing . I mean , God , I ca nt believe I -- Ive lost a house ... a house , a house , at least a house or a car , I mean , at least-- God , I ca nt believe I just-- God , I just ... [ Breathing heavily ] What are you doing ? Look , I told you , this is critical . Hi , uh ... [ Chuckling ] Hi , welcome .
John : Hey . Looking for something ?
Theresa : [ Chuckling ]
Ben : No . I m Colin s father , not Chad .
Ben : You had a test .
Abigail : The test was wrong . We retested .
Ben : When ?
Abigail : You were gone . While you were away , Thomas got sick , and I--
Ben : You let my son get sick ?
Abigail : Ben , just listen to me , please . Thomas is okay ; he s fine now .
Ben : Stop calling him that .
Abigail : He s fine now , but he was sick , and we had to retest his blood . We also had to retest my blood and his father s blood , and we retested your blood too , and it was nt a match .
Ben : That ca nt be right .
Abigail : No , it -- it is . That s -- we can go to the hospital if you want ...
Ben : No , no , no hospitals .
Abigail : We can test it -- we--
Ben : No hospitals .
Abigail : Wait , okay , I m sorry , okay , okay . Okay , okay . I m so sorry , Ben . I m sorry . I know , one day , you re gon na be a great father , but when the ... timing is right , when it s --
Ben : Now .
Abigail : Then you re gon na be a great father to someone very soon . But not to Thomas , because you re not Thomas s father . Ben , Ben , you do nt have to worry about anything , okay ? You do nt have to try to take care of him or worry about him or anything . You re free .
Ben : What ?
Abigail : You dont--
Ben : What ?
Abigail : You do nt have to take this baby , Ben . You re free .
Theresa : I , uh ...
Marlena : You know , if -- if you ve lost something , we could help you look for it .
Theresa : No , no , it s nothing -- nothing at all . I can find it or not . It s not a big deal .
Brady : Marlena , Dad , Paul .
John : Hey , son , what s going on ?
Belle : Hey , dad , hey .
Paul : You look great .
Belle : Aw , thanks .
Theresa : Uh .
Brady : Um , thank you . Thank you for coming .
John : Yeah , yeah , we would nt miss it .
Marlena : We re curious about your news .
Brady : Oh , once everyone is here , I promise I ll tell you . May I get you something to drink ?
John : Oh , absolutely .
Paul : I ll help .
Belle : Well , you look all right .
John : Yeah , we are .
Belle : I was out of my mind worried about you both .
Marlena : You know , I was home and none the worse for wear , thanks to your father .
Belle : Yeah , well , when I did nt know where you were--
John : Everybody s really all right . I do nt want to make tonight all about this , at all .
Belle : Okay , but still--
John : Okay .
Philip : John , Marlena .
John : Philip , how s it going ?
Philip : Great , I m great .
Belle : I m so happy that Philip called Brady and decided to come tonight .
Marlena : Yeah , Brady seems happy about whatever he s , um , talking about .
Belle : Uh , why do nt you come over here ? I ll show you the setup . We ll be back .
John : Take a crowbar to pry that smile off your face .
Marlena : I m doing the best I can , you know ?
John : Philip sets you off , does nt he ?
Marlena : You know what ? He s hurt her before , and Claire does nt especially like him . Claire wants her parents together . Oh , this whole thing is a recipe for disaster .
John : Unless fate steps in . Just saying .
Brady : Babe , babe , babe , forget about the ring .
Theresa : That did not just come out of your mouth .
Brady : Listen , stop , stop it . Hold it -- stop , get up . The guests are here . Everyone s here .
Theresa : Why , since you want to announce your engagement to a ditz that ca nt even hold on to the ring ? I mean , Brady--
Brady : We will get another ring .
Theresa : No , I could nt let you do that .
Brady : I ll say that I wanted you to come with me to pick it out . That s perfect .
Theresa : What -- do you know what that sounds like ? It sounds like I talked you into having this party and you re trying to appease me , but you do nt really want to do it , and -- and of course , they ll believe that , because--
Brady : Whoa , whoa , whoa . Stop , stop , that -- that s the perfect reason to say that you lost the ring .
Theresa : So then what ? I m a manipulative gold digger who ca nt even hold onto the loot ? You know that is what they think . God , forget it . We can not announce this engagement until I find this ring , okay ? Just -- no .
Brady : We ll get ...
Abigail : You do nt have to take this baby , Ben . Ben , you re free . You can go wherever you want , and I wo nt say anything to anyone . I swear . Really , Ben , you can-- you can just go , and you can leave right now and start a new life somewhere .
Ben : You re a liar .
Abigail : Thomas . I m not lying . I swear to God , I m not lying .
Ben : You re a liar . This is my son . You ca nt change that . You ca nt erase me . Say good - bye to your ex - mama . It s my son . Bye , mama . Say good - bye .
Abigail : No .
Ben : Colin s coming with me .
Abigail : Ben , Ben , Ben , no . Ben -- dont take my son , Ben !
Chad : Ben !
Abigail : Ben ! Ben , Ben ! No , Ben .
Dario : Summer is not out to hurt anyone .
Nicole : Does nt mean she would nt .
Dario : She s just looking for a place to fit in . She s had it rough . She deserves better .
Nicole : Who does nt ?
Dario : Apparently me . Night janitor .
Nicole : Nah , you do nt even get that .
Dario : Right , I should be on the street with a tin cup and a cane .
Nicole : What would it look like ?
Dario : Me with a tin cup ? It s not pretty .
Nicole : No , no , something better . What would your something better look like ?
Summer : I m not sure when I ll be checking out now . Do you have a monthly rate , if I wanted to stay ? Let me see . Ends in 4975 ? Yeah , leave it on that credit card , thanks .
Philip : This place suits you ... us .
Belle : Well , we ll make it great for us and for Claire .
Philip : That deserves our own private toast . More champagne ?
Belle : Yes .
Marlena : You two seem very ... close .
Belle : Happy is the word .
Marlena : Is that the word ?
Belle : Yes , listen , right now , we want the same things , and we re having a good time . That does count .
Maggie : Hey , John .
John : Hey , Maggie .
Maggie : Hi .
John : Hey , Vic .
Victor : Good to see you .
John : Uh , yeah .
Maggie : Did we miss anything -- ooh .
John : No , no , no . We re just waiting to hear what it s all about tonight .
Victor : Maybe they will announce their breakup .
Maggie : Victor .
Victor : Well , I can dream .
John : Yes , he can . [ Chuckles ] Brady s happy , though , and that s what I want for my son .
Brady : Listen , listen , listen , everybody is here . We have to tell them something . Listen , I m not gon na make you look stupid or anything . We ll just --forget the ring . The ring does nt matter . You know what matters ? That I love you , and I want everybody in this room to see it .
Theresa : Okay , maybe they could see it another time--
Brady : Jeannie T. Stop , end of discussion . This is happening .
Abigail : No , no . No , you ca nt take my son ! You ca nt ! Ben , you ca nt .
Chad : Abby ? What s wrong ?
Abigail : You have to get him . Get Ben .
Chad : What ?
Abigail : He has my-- he has Thomas . You have to get him . Why are you standing there ? Get him .
JJ : Abigail .
Abigail : Get him ; get Ben . He has Thomas . You have to get him . Please -- what is wrong with you ? Why are you both just standing there ?
Chad : Are you -- are you -- are you okay ?
Abigail : I m fine . Get him . Get him before he gets away . He is standing right there , and he has my -- I m not gon na calm down . Get him ; get our son !
Chad : There s nobody there .
Abigail : What , are you nuts ? He s standing right there . He has our son in his arms . Get him , Chad , please .
JJ : Abigail , nobody is standing there .
Abigail : What ? He is standing right there . [ Sobbing ]
Dario : If I knew the answer to that ...
Nicole : You would nt be here ?
Dario : I - I - I do nt know . Something better is nt attached to a place for me . It s more like feeling ... I do nt know . I want to find it soon .
Nicole : I remember that feeling . I was probably more shocked than anyone .
Dario : You ll find it again . For what it s worth , summer already knows what she wants .
Nicole : And that is ?
Dario : What most people want . To be happy , be in love , have a family .
Nicole : That s pretty generic .
Dario : She wants a real mother . After what she grew up with ? She deserves a mom like Maggie . What ?
Nicole : Does Maggie deserve a daughter like her ? I m sorry . I m just gon na say it . The girl seems pretty messed up .
Summer : You offered me the credit increase a month ago . Yes , I m positive . I have the email right here and ... okay , okay , fine . Fine , I will forward you the email , and you can have your supervisor get back to me with an apology .
Brady : Excuse me . Everybody , can I please have your attention ? Um , I m sure you re all curious as ... sure you re all curious as to why we called you here tonight and what announcement we could possibly have . Theresa and I have given a lot of you in this room reason to worry , but our hope is that we ve also given you a lot of reason to celebrate . We have a beautiful son , the resurrection of basic black , mainly due to this woman right here . Well , Theresa and I , weve-- we ve been through some real -- Maggie ?
John : Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa .
Victor : Easy , Maggie .
Abigail : You ca nt see Ben now ? He has Thomas in his arms ! Do nt you see that ? You ca nt see that ?
JJ : He s not here , Abigail . Look , abs , abs . Thomas -- Thomas is right here , okay ?
Abigail : Hey !

### Dialogue:
Lulu : So Lucky s alone with no backup . He needs help .
Dante : Look , I m doing everything I can to get the stuff he needs so he can play this part convincingly--
Lulu : No , but that s not gon na be enough . We ve got ta go to Ireland and find him .
Dante : No , Lulu , we ca nt do that .
Lulu : You said it yourself . He s in trouble .
Dante : Okay , we go after Lucky , that s the quickest way of getting him killed .
Morgan : I hope you re not mad at me .
Jax : No , no , of course not .
Carly : No , I mean , we said total honesty , no matter what .
Jax : Yeah .
Morgan : I feel great , and I m really happy Jax is moving home . We ll all be a family again . You re the best stepdad in the whole world .
Jax : Thanks . And maybe that s enough , you know ? Is that what you re saying , you want me to stop the adoption process ?
Diane : Well , this is just predictable . Sonny romances the prosecutor , sleeps with her , and effectively neutralizes her as a threat .
Sonny : Diane , it s none of your business .
Diane : I m so sorry . Was I being presumptuous ? Were the two of you upstairs absorbed in a rousing game of backgammon or mahjong ?
Max : Diane , leave it alone , please .
Sonny : Listen to Max , Diane .
Diane : And as for you , I m astounded at your lack of common sense . Did nt I tell you this would happen ?
Claire : As it happens , I know exactly what I m doing .
Jason : This is way too exposed . Let s go .
Ernesto : Ah , Brenda .
Brenda : Ohh ! Ernesto !
Ernesto : How lovely you look this evening .
Brenda : Oh , thank you so much for the dress .
Ernesto : Oh , it s my pleasure to see you wear it .
Brenda : Look , it s Ernesto Cartullo . I ve been telling you all about him , remember ? He is the owner of Cartullo fashion house . And he sponsored all of this .
Ernesto : And who is your escort ?
Brenda : Uh , this is Jason Morgan . So ... he s my ex - husband and--
Ernesto : Ah , Signore Morgan . I m astonished that you could let an angel such as Brenda get away .
P.A. : Dr. Merton , 3407 ...
Lisa : Oh , hey , did you get the prescription filled ?
Nurse : Yes , Dr. Niles . The pharmacist said to read the instructions and warnings carefully .
Lisa : Okay , yeah , well , I m well - informed on this drug . Thank you .
Patrick : What s going on over there ?
Lisa : What ? [ Laughs ]
Patrick : You just had that smile on your face .
Lisa : Um , yeah , I was just thinking about our NASCAR weekend .
Patrick : Ah , yeah , I m looking forward to it . It s gon na be fun .
Lisa : Yeah , me , too .
Patrick : Um , I was thinking , what about dinner tonight ? We can go over the race , see who s gon na win , you can pick yours , I can pick mine .
Lisa : Kevin Harvick .
Patrick : Really ? Okay . Jeff Gordon .
Lisa : Ohh . You are such an easy mark .
Patrick : Well , we ll see about that . So what do you say ? Dinner ?
Lisa : Oh , I would love to , but I ca nt . I ve got a lot of work to do .
Carly : I know Sonny is your biological father , but Jax basically raised you , you know . He s been your father in all the ways that count .
Morgan : Jax has been great .
Carly : Now we have Josslyn , would nt it be fun to have the same last name as she has ?
Morgan : What about Michael ? He ll feel left out .
Michael : Look , Morgan , you do nt have to worry about me , okay ?
Morgan : You re a part of the family as much as I am .
Carly : Of course he is .
Jax : Listen . You do nt have to worry about hurting my feelings , okay ? I just want what s best and safest for you . And whether I m your father or your stepfather , I will love you just the same .
Morgan : I love you , too . You ve always been like a dad to me . When I look at birthdays and holidays , even everyday stuff , you ve always been there . I was sad when you left , and I m really happy that you re back .
Jax : I am , too .
Morgan : I m just worried about Dad . I know it really hurt him when he found out you were going to adopt me . So if we do nt go through with it , we can stay happy . He can , too .
Michael : Look , Morgan , the most important thing to Dad is that you re safe . Okay ? And you ll be a lot safer if you re Morgan Jacks .
Claire : I informed my superiors that I have a conflict of interest with Sonny . So therefore , I have to recuse myself from any future investigations .
Diane : Okay , let me get this straight . You have effectively crippled your career for the privilege of sleeping with Sonny ?
Sonny : Will you just leave her alone .
Diane : That must have been one earth - shattering roll in the--
Sonny : I ve been straight with Claire from the start .
Diane : You ve played her from the start , and now apparently you have achieved total victory .
Claire : You know what ? I really do nt have to listen to this .
Sonny : Okay , get you , you guys , now , this is getting ridiculous .
Max : Let s go . Let s go .
Sonny : Out .
Diane : You and I are going to have to have a discussion--
Sonny : What I do in the privacy of my own home is my business . You do nt get to come in here , eat my food , have sex with your boyfriend--
Diane : By the way , that was an astonishing meal . My compliments to the chef . You may be an incorrigible womanizer , but you re a truly superb cook . My compliments to the chef .
Max : I m very sorry . Let me get her out of here right now .
Claire : This is nt about me and Sonny . It s about me . You and I have been bitter legal opponents and you re just pissed off that I m with your client .
Diane : As it happens , I happen to admire your skills in the courtroom , where Sonny apparently--
Sonny : You want your retainer ? Get out of here .
Diane : Do nt you threaten me !
Sonny : Oh , no , I will .
Max : Let s get out of here .
Diane : Stop it ! Out .
Max : I m very sorry about that . She gets really weird when we get interrupted .
Diane : That is blatantly untrue !
Sonny : Listen ... I that s just , you know- Diane gets something and it s like she s a dog with a bone .
Claire : Do nt worry . Nothing Diane says can change how I feel .
Dante : Look , Interpol recruited Lucky to impersonate an assassin . They did nt give lot of prep time . The only thing that could make that worse for him is if his sister or a cop shows up .
Lulu : So we re supposed to just sit on our hands while Lucky s life is in danger ?
Dante : No . We re not supposed to be putting him in worse danger . Okay ? If he had told me who he was going after , I d have gone with him . But he s there on his own now and that s the way he wants it .
Lulu : So Lucky is gon na get himself killed .
Dante : Your brother knows what he s doing . Okay ? He s made contact with the Balkan s people . He s improvising . He s saying what he has to say . We could do something that unknowingly tips something that would to give himself away .
Lulu : What ? I know how to scam , and I would never give Lucky away . You were an undercover cop .
Dante : Yeah , yeah , and speaking from experience , when you re undercover , the more people who know your true ID the more ways you have for your plan to fall apart .
Brenda : Shake his hand .
Ernesto : I am pleased that you could join us this evening , signore .
Jason : I got ta get her inside . She s been out here too long .
Ernesto : Well ...
Brenda : He s very protective .
Ernesto : I share your ex - husband s concern . I was furious that those men were allowed to gain access to your dressing room .
Brenda : Yes , that was very unfortunate . You know , Cartullo s security is working very--
Jason : Actually , you know what ? The security s not enough .
Brenda : I m really excited about this exhibit . I think the sixties is such an incredible time in design--
Ernesto : You say the security that we provide for Brenda is not enough ?
Jason : I have to get her inside now .
Brenda : We ll speak inside .
Ernesto : Of course , we have to get Brenda inside . Her health must come first . Healthy as possible .
Maxie : Well , Patrick is definitely determined to get rid of that skanky bitch Lisa . When I was at the hospital earlier , I tried to talk to her and he pulled me away and warned not to blow it . Not that I would . I ca nt wait for Lisa to be exposed as the psycho she really is .
Robin : So you think she s buying it ?
Maxie : Totally . She s swanning around the hospital like she owns the place . Snuggling up to Patrick like they re actually a couple . It s nauseating .
Robin : Yeah , and hard to watch . I keep having to remind myself it s just part of the game .
Maxie : Robin , do nt forget that Patrick hates her .
Robin : Maxie , Patrick slept with her .
Maxie : I know you re not supposed to forgive and forget , but I thought he explained how it happened .
Robin : Okay , so every single time my husband does well at his job and then goes to a bar and has a drink , I m supposed to give him a free pass to sleep with whoever he wants to sleep with ? I do nt think so .
Maxie : I just know he would never ever do it again . I mean , Patrick probably feels as horrible as you do , if not worse . After he broke your heart , all he wants to do is get rid of the person that he cheated on you with and get his family back .
Lulu : It pisses me off that Interpol would send Lucky into danger . They do nt care if he s gon na live or die , as long as they get their man .
Dante : No , I m sure they ll do everything they can to protect Lucky .
Lulu : You said that you were involved in some case with the Balkan . What happened ?
Tracy : Lulu ? Tracy .
Tracy : Hi .
Lulu : Hi .
Tracy : Hi . Lulu , would you call Lucky , please , and , um , ask him to come home .
Lulu : But Lucky s looking for my dad . That s what you wanted .
Tracy : I ve regained my sanity , and I have realized , of course , that it is ridiculous to send anybody to look for Luke Spencer and Lucky is much better off at home .
Michael : Look , Morgan ... nobody put me in danger on purpose , but I got caught up in some really bad stuff because I m Sonny Corinthos kid .
Morgan : Dad always tried to protect you .
Michael : Yeah , he has . He has . But ... you know what ? Things happen that are out of his control .
Morgan : Do you wish Dad was nt your father ?
Michael : No , I love Dad . I love Dad , and I m proud to be his son , and I m glad he raised me , but ... Look , bud , it s just-- it s just different for you , okay ?
Morgan : I love Dad , too .
Carly : And we always want you to , okay ? We do nt want that to change .
Jax : Yeah . The last thing we want is for you to stop loving your dad .
Michael : Dad will never stop loving you , Morgan . But -- but maybe if you give up his name ... you ll have a chance at a better life than I have . Okay ? That s -- that s all we want for you , Morgan . That s all .
Sonny : I m sorry about that .
Claire : It s okay .
Sonny : Come on , that would have whipped up quite an appetite .
Claire : What about what Diane said , did it hit close to home ?
Sonny : She needs to just keep her nose out of my business .
Claire : Good luck with that .
Sonny : Did it bother you , a little bit ? Did it hurt your feelings what she said ?
Claire : You know , nothing Diane said had nt crossed my mind a hundred times over , when you kept flirting with me after the trial . I told myself sleeping with you was nt worth the angst , second - guessing , and gossip .
Sonny : Well , I m glad you did nt take your own advice .
Claire : So am I.
Maxie : All right , I need to get back to the office and finish the accessories feature before Kate has a hissy fit . But I am available 24/7 if you need to call me , even if it s just to vent .
Robin : Thank you . I may take you up on that . Thank you for being so supportive .
Maxie : Hey , what s family for ? And do nt worry about Lisa , okay ? She s gon na slip up and this whole nightmare will be over soon enough .
Robin : Yeah . But what about me and Patrick ?
Maxie : You and Patrick and Emma will go back to being the world s cutest and happiest family . More pep talks on that later . Hey .
Patrick : Hey .
Robin : Hi . I was nt expecting you .
Patrick : Yeah , I know . I , uh , thought I d come by and kiss Emma good night . I hope that s all right .
Robin : Sure . She d like to see you .
Patrick : I was hoping that we could do this together .
Robin : Sure .
Sonny : I guess they did nt make it to dessert .
Claire : Ah , strawberries . My favorite .
Sonny : Ever since I was a kid , I loved strawberries .
Claire : Yeah ?
Sonny : Our teacher in third grade -- our teachers , Miss Runk and Miss Cronk .
Claire : Are you serious ?
Sonny : You think I could make up a name like that ? Uh , they took us to a field trip to one of those strawberry patches where you pick the strawberries , on long island , you know . So I m on my knees for a couple hours picking strawberries , putting them in the basket , cause I m excited , cause I was gon na go home and , you know , my mother was gon na make strawberry shortcake . Then this lazy kid named Andy LoGreco comes up and he grabs my basket . I said , What are you doing ? He goes , Give me the basket . So I punched him . So , we were , like , duking it out in the middle of this , you know , strawberry patch ...
Claire : Yeah ? I assume you won this fight .
Sonny : Of course I did . But that s not the point . Um , we re kickin , you know , right there , right in the middle of everything , and then , the thing is , we fell on my basket , and all my strawberries were crushed .
Claire : Ohh ...
Sonny : So you know what I do now ?
Claire : What ?
Sonny : Every day , I have fresh strawberries delivered to me .
Claire : You fought so hard , even back then , for what you wanted .
Sonny : I usually do that . I fight very hard when I want something . Here you go .
Claire : Thank you . Mmm .
Jax : Morgan . I would love for you to be my son . And Michael s right . You d be safer with my last name . But ultimately , that s your decision .
Carly : And you do nt have to make that decision tonight .
Morgan : It s okay . I want to go ahead with the adoption .
Jax : Look , if you feel rushed , I do nt think you should make the decision right now .
Morgan : I do nt . I m sure . I love you , and I want you to be my dad . Even though I ll still love my other dad . That s okay , right ?
Carly : Of course it s okay . Ohh .
Jax : I will be the best dad I can be . Okay ?
Morgan : You already are . Welcome home , Jax .
Jax : Thank you . It s good to be back .
Michael : Is it okay if I take Morgan upstairs , look at some sailing gear for tomorrow ? Yes ?
Carly : Yes .
Michael : All right . Let s go .
Carly : [ Sighs ] Well , that was an intense first night . Welcome home . [ Laughs ] Okay , so ... the adoption s all moving forward . You re back where you re supposed to be . Perfect .
Jax : Just one question .
Carly : What ?
Jax : Where do I sleep tonight ?
Carly : Where do you want to sleep tonight ?
Jax : In our bed , next to you .
Brenda : You know , I do nt know if it was such a good idea for you to tell Ernesto that his security sucks . I mean--
Jason : Well , it does .
Brenda : Yeah , I know , but I m just , you know , you could pretend to have manners in front of people like that .
Jason : I did nt say anything at all .
Brenda : Well , that s kind of what I m talking about as well , like , you know , people are speaking to you , you re supposed to speak back to them . I mean , I m introducing you as my ex - husband and you re standing--
Jason : Why would you even do that ? You hated being married to me . Why ?
Brenda : Because we re at this huge event together . I mean , listen , you understand , right , that at this moment , all those people are looking you up on their computer . We do nt want this to turn into some insane scandal . It s better to just put it out there . We do nt want them to find out you re my ex- husband . I need to just say , he s my ex - husband , we re still friends , end of story .
Jason : It s late . It s late . Are you tired ?
Brenda : I m exhausted . Good night .
Jason : I m not leaving .
Brenda : Oh , no , no . No , no , no . No . You are leaving . Trust me . I m going to sleep now . You are not staying here while I sleep .
Jason : Sorry , I am .
Jason : [ Sighs ] Oh , boy .
Brenda : You know what this is called ? Good manners .
Patrick : Emma looks so peaceful when she sleeps .
Robin : She looks just like you . She curls herself in a little ball and puts her hand right beneath the pillow .
Patrick : Am I that cute ?
Robin : No . Especially when you snore .
Patrick : I do not snore .
Robin : Maxie said that she talked to you at the hospital today .
Patrick : Yeah . She had plenty of advice on how to play Lisa . I ve got it figured out , though .
Robin : And you think she s buying it ?
Patrick : She invited me away this weekend .
Robin : This weekend ?
Patrick : Yeah . There s a NASCAR race down in Dover , and she said it was something that we would both enjoy .
Robin : Well , will you ?
Patrick : Robin , I m not gon na go . I m not gon na spend the weekend with Lisa . I ll come up with some excuse the last minute .
Robin : All right , well , make sure you let Lisa know how disappointed you are that you ca nt go .
Patrick : Listen , I m sorry that you went through that suspension review without my support . It killed me to back Lisa , especially because this is all my fault . I want you to know , though , if I could take it all back , I would in a heartbeat .
Robin : It s too late . You know ? The damage is done . One thing I can say is that you did nt know Lisa was crazy .
Patrick : I m hoping that we can work at putting our lives back together ... once Lisa s gone for good .
Lulu : Okay . I will try to contact Lucky and tell him to stop looking for my dad , but I do nt think it will matter , because Dad always comes home sooner or later .
Tracy : Well , the 10 million that he stole from me should keep him sitting pretty for a year or two at least .
Lulu : You would miss him if he stayed away .
Tracy : Lulu , that s the problem . I ca nt stop thinking about him . My whole life goes on hold waiting for him to show up again . He s an addiction I ca nt break . At least if I know he s gone for good , I can move on with my new ... Luke - free life .
Lulu : You re sure that s what you really want ?
Tracy : It ll be a lot less exciting , but a lot less painful , and that s what I want . I really , really do .
Lulu : Okay . Well ... whatever happens , you ll always be my step - monster , legal or not .
Tracy : Thank you . You are the best thing that came out of that phony marriage . Thanks for understanding . You treat her well .
Dante : Okay .
Lulu : Uh , thank you for giving us some private time .
Dante : Well , how did that go ?
Lulu : Well , just covering for Lucky s trip to Europe made me even more worried about his safety . I got ta go find him .
Dante : No , Lulu . We just talked about this . It s too risky .
Lulu : If he gets killed and I did nothing to stop it , I will never forgive myself . I m sorry . I m going .
Dante : Whoa . Okay . Well , if you re going , then I m going , too .
Lulu : No , you dont -- you do nt need to go . I think you d be--
Dante : What are you gon na do ? You gon na stand down this Balkan guy on your own ? A killer like that ? No . We do this together .
Carly : You know , maybe you should stay in the guest room .
Jax : Fine , fine . If that s the way you want it .
Carly : Then I ll be sneaking into your room in the middle of the night , so I guess you should just stay in our room .
Jax : Oh . I was hoping that you d feel that way . But I was nt taking it for granted .
Carly : You mean I could have made you work for this ?
Jax : Yeah . You ll probably wish you had . You realize if I move back into the bedroom , I am never leaving .
Carly : Good , cause I do nt want you to . Ever .
Jax : Michael . Sorry . We did nt hear you .
Sonny : You know , when I first-- when I first saw you in the courtroom , I said to myself that this -- this woman s good . Smart , fierce , confident .
Claire : It s the gray blazer . It makes me feel like a shark . I start all my big cases in it .
Sonny : And then when you opened your mouth ... [ Sucks in breath ] I knew I was in trouble .
Claire : I scared you , did nt I ?
Sonny : Terrified me .
Claire : And they say men do nt like aggressive women .
Sonny : Oh , no , no , no . That s the part I liked about you .
Claire : So was that the challenge ? Now that you ve had me , you re no longer interested ?
Sonny : I m interested .
Claire : That s good to know . Since I basically drop - kicked my career for all this .
Sonny : Oh , come on . Your career s alive and kicking . I know it was a tough decision , and I do nt take it lightly .
Claire : So ... where do we go from here ?
Sonny : Why do nt you spend the night with me ?
Claire : Let s not get carried away .
Sonny : What do you mean ? I ll make you , you know , breakfast , and I ... come on .
Claire : Let s take a rain check . It s been a really wonderful night , really . So , I do nt want to overstay my welcome .
Brenda : Aah ! Ohh !
Patrick : I should have seen the warning signs with Lisa .
Robin : Oh , come on , be honest . You did nt want to .
Patrick : Robin , I assumed that she was the carefree , fun - loving person she was back in college . You know , she became an orthopedic surgeon , so I thought she was stable and responsible . I -- I probably should have picked up on something when she kept bringing up the good old times . Obviously our relationship meant more to her than it did to me .
Robin : Well , you did nt have any problem reminiscing along with her . Obviously those times were good for you , too .
Patrick : You need to understand something . Our relationship was basically a string of hookups . It meant nothing to me emotionally . Once it was over , I never looked back . And then I met you . And I fell in love for the first and only time in my life . Robin , you and Emma mean everything to me .
Robin : Speaking of .
Robin : She wants her daddy , so ... you want to try again ?
Patrick : I d love to .
Michael : Uh , sorry , guys .
Carly : Oh , do nt apologize . I mean -- we should have been way more private .
Jax : Uh , did you need the sailing magazine for Morgan ?
Michael : No , that s okay . You know , I d better get back to Dante s .
Carly : No , no , wait ! Stay , stay . Really , I mean ... it s so great having you here . We could play a board game .
Michael : No , that s -- that s -- thanks , but I got ta go . See you .
Carly : Ohh ! Could he have got out faster ?
Jax : Well , there s nothing more embarrassing than walking in on your parents getting intimate . I once walked in on my father and Lady Jane with these aboriginal clapping sticks . I still ca nt figure out to this day what it is they were actually trying to do with them , but I think--
Carly : I do nt want to hear this . Let s go upstairs .
Jax : Okay .
Brenda : [ Clears throat ] You gon na put that gun away ?
Jason : I thought somebody was in your room .
Brenda : Yeah , well , you could have shot me , so ...
Jason : Yeah , well , I do nt shoot people by accident .
Brenda : That s good to know . Thanks .
Jason : Do you have a lot of nightmares ?
Brenda : Uh ... actually , no , not when I m working for A.S.E.C. , when I m out there with those kids . You should see these kids . They re amazing . You know , they re living in poverty , they seem so much happier than us . I only have the nightmares when I m having to do this press and the photo shoots and all that . It s weird , right ?
Jason : I can see that it s hard on you .
Brenda : Really ? Did you just say that you can see that something s hard on me ?
Sonny : Max is waiting outside to take you home .
Claire : Thanks for the evening .
Sonny : It was a great evening .
Claire : It was .
Sonny : No regrets , huh ?
Claire : Not a one .
Sonny : How about , uh , you have dinner with me tomorrow night ?
Claire : I can kind of look forward to that , yeah .
Sonny : Okay . So ...
Claire : So ...
Sonny : Good night .
Claire : Good night .
Sonny : Get over here . Now .
Patrick : So much for my calming influence .
Robin : Hello .
Patrick : It s not my fault . It s all my fault you re not sleeping right now .
Robin : Well , just a guess -- when you do your duck imitation , it does nt really help her fall asleep .
Patrick : No more barnyard noises , I swear .
Robin : She s been sleeping erratically lately . I think she knows something s up .
Patrick : Well , I m sorry . I wish there was something else I could say to make you believe it .
Robin : It s okay . Lisa will be gone soon enough .
Patrick : It ca nt be soon enough . Hey . Do nt worry , sweetheart . Mommy and daddy , we re gon na make sure the bad lady is gone for good .
Emma : Mommy , lookit .
Lulu : I m serious about helping Lucky , but I m kind of looking forward to seeing Ireland . I ve heard all about it from Lucky and my parents .
Dante : We re not going on a vacation here .
Lulu : No , I know , I know , I know . But my parents lived there a couple of months before I was born , so I missed out . You ever been ?
Dante : You know what ? Aside from going to Sonny s island a couple times to look for Michael , I have nt left the continental U.S.
Lulu : Oh . Well , that s not surprising , cause when you finished school , you went straight into NYPD .
Dante : Yeah . Summer vacations with the family in Brooklyn .
Lulu : Sounds very exotic .
Dante : Oh , you do nt know Brooklyn .
Lulu : So you never wanted to strap on a backpack and go to Europe ?
Dante : Yeah , all the time . I mean , I wanted to go to Italy . But someday , maybe .
Lulu : Well , stick with me , Bensonhurst . I ll show you the world .
Sonny : Listen to me . My personal life -- off limits . Interfere again , you re out of a job .
Diane : You pay me to protect you .
Sonny : Yes .
Diane : As your attorney , I m going to advise you to get out of this relationship as swiftly and as gracefully as possible . And if you can make Claire Walsh think that she s the one who s ending it , so much the better .
Sonny : You have this image of Claire set in stone , but what you do nt understand , things have changed .
Diane : Claire Walsh has nt changed one iota . She is still the same formidable prosecutor--
Sonny : She s a woman , Diane . And she has feelings .
Diane : Oh , I have no doubt that she has fallen for your considerable charms . But underneath she s the same hard - nosed prosecutor that tried to get you convicted of murder .
Sonny : Did you not hear Claire ? She went to her bosses and said to take her off any case that involves me .
Diane : And how long is that gon na last ? You want to know why I got so upset ?
Sonny : Why ?
Diane : Here it is . If this dalliance of yours with Claire falls anything short of the rest of your lives , you watch out .
Sonny : You have no idea what you re talking about .
Diane : Claire Walsh is no man s pushover . She s not gon na romanticize you , Sonny . If this ends badly -- when it ends badly , she s gon na bury you .
Brenda : Hey , remember the last time that you wore a tux and took me somewhere ?
Jason : Uh , never ?
Brenda : [ Laughing ] I do . The senior prom .
Brenda : You remember ? I had that bad dress on , and you were in love with Karen , and I thought I was in love with jigger , and they were in love with each other . And we went together like the two outcasts .
Jason : I m glad I do nt remember .
Brenda : I guess we re still the two outcasts , huh ?
Brenda : Have you ever been to Greece ?
Jason : Yeah .
Brenda : Which part ?
Jason : Well , I went to a bunch of small islands on my way to Egypt .
Brenda : What was your favorite ?
Jason : Kythnos . It was a small island . No , uh , no shops , no tourists . I stayed in this really -- the village is so small , it did nt remind me of the rest of Greece . It was , uh ... kind of like Italy .
Brenda : Jason ... You keep talking . It helps me fall asleep .
Jason : The beaches ... there s no roads to the beaches , so ... the water is , uh , clear ... It was warm ... and you could actually be in the water , then turn around and ... There s nobody on the beach . You just see cliffs ...

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Bo : We ll be making our decision in the next couple of days , so I ll let you know .
Man : I ll look forward to hearing from you , commissioner .
Bo : Thank you .
Natalie : So how d it go ?
Bo : Another one bites the dust . You know , finding a good forensic technician -- it s not an easy thing . So , is the next candidate ready ?
Natalie : Yes .
Bo : Where is he ?
Natalie : Actually , it s a she , and she s standing right in front of you .
Spencer s voice : Your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon and all over this room . There is also a rather large paper trail leading from you and the commissioner to Margaret to Todd to Todd Manning with a needle in his arm .
Paige : David ? You followed me .
David : We ve been looking out for each other a little too long to stop now , Paige . So , you want my help or not ?
Paige : Thanks .
David : I ll grab a bucket .
Ed : You were just a kid when he was killed . There was nothing you could do to save him . I mean , you re not a doctor .
John : I m talking about afterwards . I m talking about finding the man who did it , and what I should ve done to him .
Evangeline : You re messing with my head . You re not really at Spencer s office .
Todd : You want me to read you his diploma ?
Evangeline : Oh , my God . Where is Spencer ?
Todd : I do nt know . Look , I found something here . I do nt know what it means exactly yet , but --
Blair : Now , this is really
Blair : Now , this is really just a just - in - case , because he s prone to ear infections and he has nt had one in a long time -- knock on wood -- but --
Spencer : Yeah , I keep an extra prescription pad in my desk drawer just for emergencies .
Michael : Marcie --
Marcie : Yeah ?
Michael : You re just nervous about the wedding . Do nt stress so much , sweetie .
Marcie : Do nt stress ? There are nt any guarantees , Michael . I mean , like you said , things change , right ?
Michael : Marcie , we are never going to end up one of those unhappy couples . It s not going to happen .
Marcie : Yeah , well , you know , the odds are nt exactly in our favor . I mean , do you remember what I told you that day we got engaged ? Two out of every three marriages -- they end in divorce .
Michael : Ok , so we will be the other third .
Bo : You re interested in being a forensic technician ? Hmm .
Natalie : Yeah .
Bo : Are you serious ?
Natalie : Yes . I mean , ever since I saw the posting , something hit me , and I just realized this is something that I d be really good at .
Bo : It s precise work , Natalie . Now , you re going to have to take a lot of extra courses .
Natalie : Oh , I know . I checked out the program online .
Bo : Yeah ? Well , the training -- it can be very , very intense . We re talking about long days , late nights out there in the field . You ready for that ?
Natalie : Come on , Uncle Bo , just give me a chance . Ok , at least give me the interview .
Bo : All right , you know , if -- ahem -- if I accept you into the program , it means that you will be assigned cases even as a trainee . You will be out there in the field , you ll be working with detectives , helping them gather evidence .
Natalie : So what s your question ?
Bo : Well , one of these detectives will be lieutenant Mc Bain . You ready to work side by side with John ?
Ed : When a child loses a parent , they often blame themselves because , to a child , the whole world revolves around them . There s no such thing as a random event . But you did nt have anything to do with getting your father killed .
John : You re not hearing me .
Ed : Your father died a sudden , tragic death . You were young , traumatized . But to have this paralyzing guilt , to blame yourself all these years --
John : We re not talking about blame here ! We re talking about retribution . We re talking about living by a code that defines who you are and then what justice --
John : Did I ever tell you about my old man ?
Ed : I know he was a cop .
John : No . About him , about the man himself ? We did nt have a lot of money growing up . Things were tight then . But I remember every Sunday he would take us to the Boardwalk to get ice cream . The whole family -- you know , me and Mom , Mikey in the stroller . The old man always took Sundays off . And we d walk around there for hours . When I got tired , I remember he d put me up on his shoulders and he d have me up there all day . He was like a giant then , this -- this big man , my Dad . And when I was up there , I felt like the champ , I felt like I could take on the whole world , and that was the best feeling . Nothing like it .
Ed : And you were too young to have that taken away from you , John , but you are old enough now to know that nothing is going to bring him back . And vengeance will not take care of the hurt and the guilt .
John : How do you know ?
David : Paige ? Paige ?
Paige : You do nt have to shout .
David : I want to run something by you .
Paige : Ok .
David : We re cleaning up a murder we did nt commit --
Paige : Right .
David : To protect you and Bo from a setup by Spencer .
Paige : Yeah ?
David : We re going about this all the wrong way . We did nt do anything . So what we got to do , we got to find something on Spencer and neutralize him .
Paige : Neutralize him ?
David : Or destroy the evidence against us . I guess there s always door number three , the status quo -- spend the rest of our lives cleaning up messes we did nt make . You missed a spot .
Spencer : I bet the kids ca nt wait to get up there , huh ?
Blair : Yeah , they love that old cabin .
Spencer : Ski bums -- that s what the three of you will be .
Blair : Well , actually , Jack is trying to persuade us all to snowboard .
Spencer : Really ?
Blair : Yeah , he says it s more fun .
Spencer : Yeah , more dangerous , too . I like a ski on each boot and a pole in each hand , you know ?
Blair : Oh , I -- I m right with you on that , but it s going to be a hard time convincing him .
Spencer : Why Bother ? Do nt even try . It s to each his own , I -- I d say .
Blair : Why --
Blair : Are you looking at me like that ?
Spencer : Nothing . I --
Blair : What ?
Spencer : I do nt know . I just --
Blair : No , it s -- what is it ?
Spencer : I have a real difficult time having a conversation with you without telling you how I feel about you , that s all .
Michael : I d like you to meet my fiancee , Marcie Walsh . Marcie Walsh , this is Dr. Quinlan .
Dr. Quinlan : Nice to meet you , Marcie .
Marcie : Nice to meet you , too .
Dr. Quinlan : It s exciting , is nt it , one of our own receiving the Scarborough ?
Michael : Exciting but not surprising . Dr. Truman does wonderful work .
Dr. Quinlan : And speaks very highly of you . I suggest your continuing to impress him . It will serve you very well .
Michael : I m just working hard .
Dr. Quinlan : Enjoy the ceremony .
Michael : Yes .
Marcie : You , too . I think that there is going to be a Scarborough award in your future .
Michael : I would nt hold my breath on that one . But , you know , it wo nt hurt having Dr. Truman in my corner , hmm ? It means that I m going to be able to provide my future wife with all of the things that she deserves -- servants , mansions , private jets .
Marcie : Ok , ok . I mean , as lovely as that sounds , do nt you think we should put some of those big bucks away for , like , a down payment on a house or our kids , you know , and their absurdly expensive educations ?
Michael : Well -- unless I m missing something , Marcie , we have plenty of time to save for that .
Marcie : Not really . I mean , it s only 18 years if we start saving right away .
Michael : Doing what ?
Marcie : Well , having kids . You know , I -- I was thinking that maybe we could start having them immediately . What ? What s that look for ?
Michael : Um --
Marcie : I thought -- I thought that you wanted to have kids . You know , you re always talking about wanting to be a dad .
Michael : No , I -- I do , and I have -- I have said that . I just -- I was --
Marcie : What ?
Michael : Talking about sometime in -- in the future . You know , maybe three , four , five years ?
Marcie : Five years ?
Michael : We ll compromise on this , ok ?
Marcie : I do nt want to sound selfish , and I want to be honest with you , Michael , but I want a family , and I want a family now . I do nt know how we compromise on that .
Kevin : What are you staring at ?
Kelly : I just think you drank that awfully fast .
Kevin : Well , I think you ought to lighten up . I mean , this is supposed to be fun , remember ? It s a celebration .
Dorian : It is barely noon , Kevin .
Kevin : Really ? I did nt -- I did nt realize it was that late . I have a lot of catching up to do . I m going to the bar .
Kelly : Oh , God , I hate it when he drinks .
Dorian : Ok , why do nt you tell me what s going on ?
Kelly : Tell you what ?
Dorian : Kelly -- all right . Begin by telling me , why is it that Kevin wants to see Spencer , hmm ?
Kelly : Dorian , come on . He s already upset enough .
Dorian : Please . I wo nt bring it up to him . I mean , how insensitive do you think I am ?
Kelly : Well , he wants to talk to Spencer to see if there s anything he can do to help Kevin so that we can have a baby .
Dorian : Oh , I see . Yes , well , that can be humiliating . It does make -- ahem -- him feel like that much less of a man , does nt it ?
Kelly : Thank you for pointing that out .
Dorian : It does explain why he s drinking himself into a stupor .
Kelly : Well , it s been tough for us lately , the last couple of days especially .
Dorian : Really ? Are -- are you sure that there is nt something else going on between the two of you ?
Kelly : It is nt enough that he s infertile ?
Dorian : Oh , come on , Kelly . The fact that he has a zero sperm count should nt make him angry at you . Something must have happened between the two of you . What is it ?
Duke : Hey .
Kevin : Duke . There he is , my handsome , young son . Look at you . Not so young anymore , though , are you ? No , no , no , he is all growed up , he s a man .
Duke : You ok , dad ?
Kevin : Oh , ho - ho - ho - ho . I am great . I am -- I am just dandy , honestly . But I ll tell you what -- these two drinks right here -- they are mine . So if you want to have a drink with my fiancee , you ll have to get your own .
Bo : There s no sense starting the program if your personal life is going to interfere with it .
Natalie : It wo nt . I need to focus my energy on something else other than John and Cristian and Jess / Tess .
Bo : Ok . All right . Natalie , I want you to remember something . You re my niece , everybody knows that . This forensic technician job -- you know , this is a coveted position . So if you are going to get the opportunity , that means that you have to be better than everybody else that interviewed for this . I do nt want anybody saying that I gave you a break because you re family . See ? You have to earn it , you have to excel . There can be no doubt in anybody s mind that you got this job because you deserve it . So , can you handle that ?
Natalie : Watch me .
Bo : Oh --
Natalie : Thank you so much , Uncle Bo !
Bo : Ok , ok , but you got to remember -- see , forensic technicians do not go around hugging police commissioners .
Natalie : Oh -- right . Sorry , sorry -- sorry , sir . Yes , sir .
Bo : All right , ms . Buchanan . Here . I want you to fill out this application . What ?
Natalie : I did it last night . Has all my schooling , my special qualifications , and I even have some comments from my biology , chemistry professors .
Bo : Good idea .
Natalie : So , what else do I have to do ?
Bo : Um -- I want you to take a look at this . These are -- these are photographs from a crime scene , ok ? I m going to give you 15 seconds . I want you to study them , absorb as many details as you possibly can in that 15 seconds , then I want you to close your eyes . You ready ?
Natalie : Just say when .
Bo : All right , go . Five seconds --
Natalie : I m ready .
Bo : No , no , no , you take all the time , ok ? This is nt about speed . And -- now . I want you to close your eyes . Ok , describe to me the photograph in the lower right corner .
Natalie : Man s bedroom , totally trashed , not long before the picture was taken .
Bo : Why do you say that ?
Natalie : It s just a hunch , but there s a beer bottle on the floor --
Bo : Mm - hmm ?
Natalie : With liquid spilling out of it , but it has nt quite absorbed into the carpet . I do nt know , I m just -- I m guessing .
Bo : You know what ? That s a very important element in solving crimes , all right , but do nt tell anybody I said that .
Natalie : Ok , give me another one .
Bo : All right , describe the photograph in the upper right corner .
Natalie : Um -- ok , a kitchen , two shell casings on the floor , and blood right by the stove -- a lot of blood -- in fact , with so much blood , I think I would actually -- I would check for footprints and fingerprints , obviously .
Bo : Ok . Thank you . That s it .
Natalie : How d I do ?
Bo : You did well . You did very well . But I think I have to go over all the applications again -- probably again and again -- and then I ll make my decision .
Natalie : Ok .
Bo : Ok , but I am so proud of you . Carry on .
Natalie : Thank you .
Bo : Ok .
Ed : I know , John . I have dealt with life and death and guilt my professional life . Trust me , I am qualified .
John : Until you ve lost someone , you do nt know what you re capable of .
Ed : What about you , tough guy , huh ? How come you did nt do anything ? You were motivated , you were a cop , you had the information , you had the resources . How come you did nt do nothing to find out who did it , John , huh ? How come you did nt catch the guy who killed your father ?
John : I was scared .
Ed : Scared of what ?
John : Him .
Ed : Your father ?
John : No . The man who pulled the trigger . And not knowing has become something . And it haunts me in dreams and in nightmares . When I was a boy , it used to wake me up at night , and now I just do nt sleep much . The idea of reopening this case , of going through files and looking at pictures , I -- sometimes I just push it out of my mind to make it through the day , and I thought it might break me once and for all .
Ed : No . No , there s something else . There s something you are not telling me .
John : I do nt --
Natalie : Hey , guess -- what .
Natalie : I m -- I m sorry . I did nt -- um -- I m sorry .
Ed : Stay with me , John .
John : There s no turning back now , is there ?
Ed : What do you mean by that ?
John : I ve said the words out loud .
Ed : And that makes you feel --
John : Worse . Sorry to disappoint you , doc , but all this confession crap still does nt change the facts . Someone killed my father . Until now , they think they ve gotten away with it .
Michael : I just do nt understand what the big rush is , Marcie . I just finished my residency . We just got engaged .
Marcie : Yeah , well , I do nt understand what the big rush was with us getting engaged in the first place .
Michael : Do nt you want some time for us before we start dropping -- start dropping babies into the mix ?
Marcie : The mix ? Michael , it s called having a family .
Michael : Which everybody has to do immediately after getting married , according to you . You get married , and then you have kids .
Marcie : I m not talking about everyone . Michael , I m talking about you and me .
Michael : You are talking about you and me jumping into parenthood before we ve even figured out what it means to be married .
Marcie : Oh , so now it s -- we have to figure it out ? Is that it ?
Michael : You know what ? This is getting weird .
Marcie : Yeah , it is because you re being confrontational .
Michael : I am being realistic .
Marcie : Well , if this is your idea of realism , Michael , then I do nt -- I m not really interested .
Michael : In what ? In me ?
Marcie : In marriage , you know ? So why do nt we just forget this old - fashioned idea of becoming husband and wife and let s just -- let s just shack up together . Why do nt we do that ?
Duke : I came here to see you , Dad . I wanted to run something by you . Something came up at the office --
Kevin : No , no , no , no , I do nt want to talk about business , ok ? I m here to have a good time . That s what I m going to do .
Duke : No , dad -- hey , come on --
Kevin : What are you -- what are you doing , Duke ?
Kelly : What is going on here ?
Kevin : Well , that s the burning question , is nt it ? But before anyone answers , I need another drink . Here .
Paige : We ca nt take any chances . Spencer is -- is sick -- hiding Margaret , faking her death , and then -- and then killing her himself ?
David : Well , I think there s a little more to it than that .
Paige : You said last night you did nt think Spencer murdered anyone .
David : Lately . I added that part , did nt I ?
Paige : Yeah , but you were wrong . He killed Margaret . We re cleaning up the evidence right now . The question is , what else does your brother have on us that we ca nt clean up with soap and water ?
Spencer : Note to self -- keep prescription pad in drawer provided for same .
Blair : Look , I really , really appreciate it .
Spencer : My pleasure . Let s hope he does nt need it .
Blair : Oh , I hope not . I mean , the last time we were up there , he got very , very sick , and Todd had to go out in the middle of a big snowstorm .
Spencer : Is this the same cabin that you stayed in with Todd ?
Blair : Um -- yeah . Why ?
Spencer : I do nt know . It just does nt really seem to me like that would be getting away from it all .
Blair : Well , it s -- it s cozy , it s familiar . We all just sit around roasting marshmallows in the fire , you know .
Spencer : Right . Sounds nice .
Blair : It -- it is .
Spencer : Well , drive safe .
Blair : I will . And thanks .
Spencer : You re welcome .
Blair : Oh --
Bo : Blair .
Blair : Hi , Bo . Thanks , Spencer .
Spencer : Anytime .
Blair : Bo .
Bo : You mind if I come in ?
Spencer : No , not at all , Commissioner . I ve got very few minutes . I m being given an award at the palace , so --
Bo : Oh . That s all right , this wo nt take long . I just want you to know that if I find out that you ve done anything to threaten Paige in any way or for any reason --
Evangeline : Oh , my God .
Spencer : Can I help you , Ms. Williamson ?
Evangeline : No . I took a wrong turn .
Spencer : Oh , nonsense . I m of the opinion that there are no accidents . I mean , who knows what the commissioner might ve said or done if you had nt interrupted ?
Evangeline : What ?
Spencer : Private joke , right , Commissioner ? Listen , if you two do nt mind , I do nt want to be late for the ceremony . I got to get something here . Shall we ? By the way , commissioner , you know , you are so much more like your father than I ever realized .
Evangeline : I have a doctor s appointment . I was so sure I was in the wrong office -- or , the right office . I m -- sorry I interrupted .
Bo : No , it s a good thing you did . Spencer was nt wrong . I m angry . I ll see you later .
Evangeline : Todd , are you out of your mind ?
David : Spencer s going to know that you did this .
Paige : Well , I ll deal with that when I have to . I m sure this is nt the end of it . Spencer always covers his bases . He s probably got mountains of false evidence stacked up somewhere . I just -- I had to do it . That poor woman --
David : Margaret Cochran ? I would nt feel too bad about that . Will you hold this ? It s getting heavy .
Paige : Listen , thank you so much , and I -- I do nt just mean for helping me clean up . I mean , for everything . You re the only person I can talk to about this .
David : All those years ago when the three of us made that pact to keep a secret , I promised myself I d protect you .
Paige : Why ?
David : Maybe I sensed that I could trust you more than my own brother . After what you and I did that day , I knew that nobody except us could know what happened , and what we ve been carrying with us ever since .
Ed : This may not be apparent to you now , but what just happened is an enormous step forward .
John : I feel the same as I did the first day I met you .
Ed : But you did nt kill your father , John . A criminal with a gun did . And for a child , that would be pretty scary , normal . I know it s hard for you to let go of something that you ve kept inside all these years , but you have to . Let yourself off the hook .
John : How ? How the hell am I supposed to do that , doc , huh ?
Ed : You re a cop , you are a can - do guy , you will figure out a way . Oh , know this -- your father would never have blamed you . Never .
John : Yeah ?
Natalie : Hey . I saw Crosby leave . Are you ok ? You seemed upset earlier .
John : I m ok .
Natalie : Anything I can do ?
John : You could sit with me for a while .
Blair : What is this ? Cars do nt overheat in the winter !
Starr : Well , obviously they do .
Blair : Hey , Jack , I do nt want you to get an earache . Go get your hat on , ok , or stay in the car .
Starr : When s the last time you took this thing in for servicing ?
Blair : Look , you know what ? I ve been busy , all right ? But I m going to find out where roadside assistance is . I called them and --
Starr : You know , maybe they re busy , too .
Blair : Well , I m going to call them again , see what s keeping them . Yes , hi , this is Blair Cramer . I called earlier about roadside assistance and I ve been waiting , so I want to know how much longer it s going to be . What , three hours ? Wait -- wait , wait , wait , wait , I have two small kids with me . I m out here in the snow , if you have nt noticed . I m up in the mountains . No --
Starr : Jack , grab me my cell phone , hurry up .
Blair : I paid extra for this roadside assistance --
Starr : Oh , please pick up , please be there .
Blair : And three hours is not going to cut it , buddy .
John : Crosby and me got into it about my father s death . We talked about things like revenge . I do nt know .
Natalie : That is not you , I know that .
John : Yeah , Crosby said the same thing .
Natalie : Well , he s right . You know what , I m going to keep saying the same thing to you until you believe it .
John : I do nt know if I ll ever believe that . But I m starting to think that maybe I ll be able to live with it .
Kelly : No luck .
Duke : Do you want me to look for him ?
Kelly : No . Why bother ? I mean , he s so paranoid right now . It s like he knows about that night at Rodi s .
Duke : But how could he ? How could -- I mean , it s not like you or I told him . The note . Could he have seen the note ?
Kelly : No , no , I burned it in the fireplace . Do nt worry about that .
Duke : Oh . I -- Dorian . Hello .
Dorian : Hello , Duke . This is turning out to be the most peculiar day . Dr. Quinlan said that the guest of honor is nowhere to be found , I witness this whatever it was between you and Kevin , and now you can not find your fiancée .
Kelly : Please -- please stop . Please , just stop .
Dorian : I m not doing anything , darling . I m merely stating the obvious . And I am beginning to get the feeling that there is something going on here that involves more than just Kevin .
Michael : Dr. Truman , congratulations . I am so happy that I could be here with you for this .
Spencer : Thank you , Michael . Thank you very much .
Kevin : Yay ! There he is , ladies and gentlemen ! That s great , huh ? There he is ! He s -- he s a miracle worker ! Dr. Spencer Truman -- here he comes to save the day yeah !
Kelly : All right , all right , let s go .
Kevin : No , no , no , no --
Kelly : We re going home .
Kevin : He can take a barren woman and make her fruitful .
Kelly : We re going home now , Kevin . Come on .
Kevin : It s true -- no , I m not going anywhere because I m having a conversation with the illustrious Dr. Spencer Truman here .
Kelly : Kevin --
Kevin : Dr. Truman -- ahem -- could you give me some advice on -- uh -- male fruitfulness ?
Kelly : Come on , come on , let s go home .
Kevin : Because I need -- I m not going home ! All right ? You know , I have a great idea . Yeah . Why do nt you end the suspense here , all right , and tell everyone what -- what you -- what you wrote to my son that he should never tell anyone ? Why do nt you tell us that ?
Spencer : Excuse me .
Spencer : Hello ?
Starr : Dr. Truman ? It s Starr .
Blair : I want to speak to the supervisor --
Spencer : Oh , hi -- hi , Starr . What s up ?
Starr : The car broke down in the middle of nowhere and Mom s on the phone with the towing company , but they said it s going to be , like , three hours or something . Can you help us ?
Evangeline : This is crazy .
Todd : Evangeline ? Evangeline ?
Todd : Would you look at something , please ? This is a lease for a warehouse here in Llanview . The leasee s name -- Dr. Spencer Truman . The term of this lease is beginning this day -- September 18 , 2005 .
Evangeline : This is the day before Margaret was murdered .
Todd : That s right . I m going to check this place out , see what s going on there . Now , I know this is a lot to ask you , but if I could get somebody to help me --
Evangeline : Ok . You wait here . Do nt you move from this spot until I get back .
Todd : I wo nt move from this spot until you get back .
Evangeline : Do nt you move .
Todd : I wo nt move .
Evangeline : Hey --
Bo : Huh .
Evangeline : Hi .
Duke : Dad --
Kevin : No , no , no , son . Hey -- she s all yours .
Kelly : Oh , my God .
Duke : He s drunk --
Kelly : Yeah , no kidding . You know , for future reference , you and your dad might want to realize that drinking makes you complete asses .
Blair : Ok , ok , guess what . I got them down to 90 minutes . 90 minutes -- that s not bad , huh ?
Jack : Yeah , but I m freezing .
Blair : Ok , well , bundle up . You know what ? We re going to be up at the cabin in no time -- as soon as roadside assistance gets here . We ll make hot chocolates and play games . Is that ok with you ?
Jack : Ok .
Blair : Starr , are you all right ? Why you quiet ?
Starr : Yeah , I just want to get to the cabin .
Blair : Yeah . Me , too . Me , too , but , hey , 90 minutes . You know , they might be here sooner than that .
Starr : Or someone will .
Bo : I m sorry , Evangeline . I think I should watch where I m going .
Evangeline : Oh , no harm , no foul .
Bo : Hmm . Hey , kid , you know what ? Protect yourself , Evangeline . That s all I m going to say .
Evangeline : You moved .
Todd : Two -- two feet , tops .
Evangeline : Hurry .
Natalie : Something s changed .
John : I m going to find my father s killers .
Natalie : Killers ? Plural ?
John : First , the man who shot him , and then the doctor that showed up drunk and let him bleed to death on that operating table .
David : I know I act like nothing Bothers me , like my whole life is one big joyride , but I killed someone , and I think about that every day . I never even knew his name -- Spencer made sure of that . But that cop was probably somebody s husband , somebody s father , and I shot him .
Paige : Yeah , but I killed him .
David : That s true .
Paige : If he had nt been wheeled into my O.R. , he d probably still be alive . I really screwed up . And the terrible thing is I -- I barely remember it because I was blind - drunk .
Adriana : They could ve killed him .
Dorian : They could have , but they did nt . Yes , here he is , looking none the worse for wear .
Tess : Nash , do nt sell the vineyard .
Spencer : Starr called me , asked me for my help . I m not going to let her down .
Evangeline : I do nt know what you think we re going to find .

### Dialogue:
Rafe : Guess that s what happens when you get stuck in a vampire s head for too long . Ok . Time for the next move -- get Livvie s antidote . All right , Joshua . Rest that aching head of yours .
Joshua : Oh , this headache . Why wo nt this go away ? There is so much paperwork . I need help with this paperwork . More lawyers -- as if anybody would ever know the difference . What ? Oh -- this is excruciating .
Joshua : Ugh -- not so loud , I hear you .
Joshua : I hear you .
Frank : It s Frank .
Joshua : I know who it is . Come in .
Frank : It s locked .
Joshua : What is it ? If it s bad news , I do nt want to hear it .
Frank : Then I ll come back later .
Joshua : No , it s all right . I have a killer headache . What is it ?
Frank : Jamal Woods .
Joshua : What about him ?
Frank : I just caught him trying to burn down the club .
Joshua : And you stopped him ?
Frank : Of course I did .
Joshua : And you brought me his head on a platter ?
Frank : I would have . But our friend the guardian angel got in the way .
Joshua : Little Casey again .
Frank : She s becoming a major distraction .
Joshua : I will deal with the angel . What else ?
Frank : I want you to know it was nt me who killed Alison .
Joshua : I m aware of that .
Frank : I do everything I can to take care of business , Joshua , but I ca nt be everywhere at once .
Joshua : If I have a problem with your work , I will speak to you about it . Anything else ?
Frank : I thought you would be happy to know that your guest is on the way .
Joshua : Excellent . Open the gates .
Frank : Anybody I know ?
Joshua : Uh -- yes , Franklin , it s someone that you know quite well .
Frank : Who ?
Joshua : Oh . That would spoil the surprise .
Alison : Hi . Yes , I need a cab , please . This is Alison Barrington . Oh , no , you probably do nt really care who I am . Sorry .
Alison : What was that ? No , nothing . I m sorry , I was nt talking to you . Ok , I am -- I m on foot I m walking . I m on route 28 . I m just north of the city , and I m a couple -- a couple of miles past the exit for Somerset Plains . If you could send a car right away , that d be great . Thank you . I m just on foot , so I m going to keep walking until you drive up , ok ? Ok , thanks . Bye .
Alison : Who s there ? Look , I know somebody s there . Stop messing with me . Ok , Alison , you need to stay focused . That s right . Nobody s there . Rafe , I will get to you even if I have to walk to you . I do nt care .
Alison : Oh , God .
Caleb : Going somewhere ?
Alison : You .
Kevin : Better ?
Livvie : I know this must disgust you .
Kevin : You know , honey , you do nt have to be embarrassed in front of me . Things are what they are .
Livvie : Thanks for understanding . I owe you everything , dad .
Kevin : Well , what are fathers for ?
Livvie : I just -- I just wish I could be a better daughter .
Kevin : Honey , do nt do that .
Livvie : No , dad , please , let me say this . You re just -- you re always there for me and you re coming through for me . I wish I could do the same for you .
Kevin : You re my daughter . You re my flesh and blood . There s nothing in the world I would nt sacrifice for you .
Livvie : Well , I love you . Daddy , I mean that .
Kevin : I know you do .
Livvie : Gosh , this feels so good in your arms . I feel so safe . I wish I could be here forever .
Kevin : Oh , you can .
Livvie : No , daddy , I ca nt . I got to go . I got to get to Caleb .
Kevin : You re leaving ?
Livvie : Yeah . You understand , do nt you ?
Kevin : Understand ? Uh , what ?
Jamal : Where s Livvie , your psychopath daughter ?
Kevin : Actually , I have no idea , Jamal . I m looking for her myself .
Jamal : So you know what she did .
Kevin : I know about Alison , yes .
Jamal : That s all you got to tell me .
Kevin : I m sorry ?
Jamal : What , you re sorry ? That bloodsucker you call a daughter killed her . She murdered her in cold blood and you re sorry ? I m going to tell you one thing , she s not going to get away with it . She has to pay for what she s done .
Kevin : I could nt agree more .
Livvie : I ll call you later . Ok ?
Kevin : No . Livvie , wait .
Livvie : What ?
Kevin : You ca nt go right now .
Livvie : I ca nt ?
Kevin : No . I mean , come on , Livvie -- after all the trouble I went to to get you that blood , ca nt you just stay and give your father a little quality time ?
Livvie : Daddy , I ca nt now . I just explained to you .
Kevin : Well , you ca nt go . Not right now .
Livvie : I do nt understand .
Kevin : Well , then I ll explain it . You can not leave here .
Caleb : Do you have a death wish or something ?
Alison : Hey , why do nt you just go back to the cave and write another little ditty , ok ?
Caleb : I ca nt . I ca nt because I m out here chasing someone who s supposed to be dead , which is exactly how you re going to end up if you keep doing this .
Alison : Are you finished ? Are you ?
Caleb : What ? Let me ask you -- do you think I like doing this ? You think I like this ?
Alison : Hey , I do nt care if you do or not . And if you do nt , then just leave me alone because , see that ? Those lights ? There s my cab .
Caleb : Hey , you know what ? Listen to me .
Alison : Oh , oh .
Caleb : Listen to me . We went to a lot of trouble to set all this up , and you re going to go out there and blow it the first chance you get ? Is that what you re telling me ?
Alison : Get your hands off me . What do you care anyway ? You re going to get your little antidote for your stupid little fangs , and you and Livvie can feed off each other forever -- that s nasty .
Caleb : No , that s right . That s exactly right , and you know what ? You pretending to be dead was part of the deal .
Alison : Well , the deal s obviously changed , has nt it ? Because I think that Rafe is in trouble and I m not going to take your word for it that he s not .
Caleb : Ugh . You know , I should ve just let Joshua kill you .
Alison : He s not going to .
Caleb : Why ? Why , because you said so ? Come on , please , stop causing trouble . Just come on back .
Alison : Ha - ha ! There s a good one -- me causing trouble ? Listen , I ll tell you something -- everyone in this town is in trouble because of you . You started everything , and I had to hide in the first place because of you . Your old pal , Joshua ? Well , I do nt think that he would even exist as a vampire if it were nt for you , and he would nt be trying to get me to be his bride . And all my friends and family at home -- they would nt be crying their eyes out because I was dead . And Rafe -- he would be back with me , safe and sound where he belongs .
Alison : There s my cab . I got to go .
Caleb : Hey --
Alison : Oh , God .
Caleb : You re going to do this no matter what I say , are nt you ?
Alison : Yes , I am . I need to get to Rafe . You can either stay or you can come with me if you want , but I need to find him .
Rafe : Alison , I m back ! Everything worked out . I got into Joshua s dream . I got -- got the antidote for Livvie . Alison ?
Livvie : If there s something you need to say , of course , dad , I m right here . What did you want to talk about ?
Kevin : You know I love you . I love you very much . You know that , do nt you ?
Livvie : Yeah . I -- I hope so . I -- I think so . What -- are you ok ?
Kevin : I m fine . I m fine . Why do you keep asking me that ?
Livvie : I do nt -- I do nt know , dad . You just seem a little --
Kevin : What ?
Livvie : Spacey .
Kevin : Well , I guess I ca nt help remembering .
Livvie : Remembering what ? ?
Kevin : All the memories we do nt have . Our relationship s still pretty new , you know ? But it s strong . It s close . We ve been through a lot just in the last few years .
Livvie : That s true , yeah .
Kevin : I never got to hold you as a baby . It s one of the biggest regrets of my life .
Livvie : I know . Me , too , daddy , but --
Kevin : You know what experts say ? And as one , I m obligated to agree with them , but it s that it s the formative years , the youngest years that are the most important . And I missed that . And I m really sorry for that . I m really so sorry .
Livvie : Daddy , you do nt -- you do nt have to worry . We re together now and I love you .
Kevin : I feel close to you , Livvie . I feel so close to you . There s no one in the world more important to me .
Livvie : Well , that means a lot to me . I ve waited so long to hear that . That coming out of your mouth is like a dream come true .
Kevin : Yes ! And that s what makes this so hard .
Livvie : What ?
Kevin : What I have to do . You ve been a bad girl , Livvie . You misbehaved .
Livvie : What ? Daddy , what s going on ?
Kevin : You killed Alison and you have to be punished for that . Do you understand ?
Livvie : No , dad , are you crazy ? What is going on with you ?
Kevin : This is my job . I have no choice in this . This is my job . I m the parent . I have to show the child the difference between right and wrong !
Livvie : No . No , stay away from me !
Kevin : You did this to Alison , and so now I have to do this to you . Do nt you see ? There s no way I can let you get away with that . As far as allergies go ,
Livvie : Daddy , what is it ? What s happening to you ?
Kevin : Daddy s very upset with you .
Livvie : No , no , this is nt you , dad . Something s happening .
Kevin : Bad , bad girl .
Livvie : Joshua s got you under some type of a spell or something . Dad , please , you have to --
Kevin : Livvie --
Livvie : You have to trust me and lie down .
Kevin : You re a murderer .
Livvie : No , trust me , daddy . You have to lie down and get some rest . I will be back .
Kevin : No ! No ! You re not leaving !
Livvie : I have to go , dad !
Kevin : Nothing is wrong with me ! Livvie , you need help , and I have to be the one to help you . Now , trust your father . Your father loves you more than anything .
Livvie : Stay back .
Kevin : I love you with all my heart , so just know that what I do , I do for your own good .
Livvie : No .
Kevin : Now look what you ve done . You ca nt bite a relative . See ?
Kevin : Now all you ve done is -- is make me hurt and sad and angry .
Livvie : Aah !
Kevin : Livvie ? Run ! Run , Livvie , run ! Go !
Rafe : There s no sign of struggle , no Alison , and no Caleb . Damn you . Caleb ! I trusted you . We had a deal , and now all you did was stab me in the back . You son of a --
Alison : Rafe .
Caleb : Hey .
Alison : What ?
Caleb : Quiet . Are you crazy ?
Alison : Well , there s no sign of him anywhere . What else am I supposed to do ?
Caleb : That does nt mean Joshua s not here . Use your head .
Alison : Do nt give me that . He came here to get inside Joshua s head .
Caleb : Come on --
Alison : No . I just know he s gotten caught . I know it .
Caleb : Look , no slayer even comes close to your boy , all right ? He s got more lives than a junkyard cat .
Alison : Do you really believe that , or are you just trying to shut me up again ?
Caleb : Hey , look , if I could nt figure out a way to get rid of Rafe , there s no way an amateur like Joshua is going to .
Alison : So then where is he , hmm ?
Caleb : Where is he ?
Alison : Hmm ?
Caleb : He s right where I told you he d be -- he s back in the catacombs wondering where the hell you are .
Alison : So you think that maybe --
Caleb : I think maybe we should get the hell out of here while we still can .
Alison : Wait . Yeah , you are right . Come on , let s go . Come on !
Frank : So when is this guest of yours due to arrive ?
Joshua : Any minute now .
Frank : Joshua , you want me to wait outside and greet the car when they get here ?
Joshua : Now you re thinking , frank . Go on . Go .
Joshua : There s somebody or something here . I can smell it .
Joshua : And you re right . This is very bad . Livvie is your daughter , and you must do your duty as a father and you must deal with her .
Kevin : Deal with her ?
Joshua : Harshly .
Kevin : You re right . Livvie has to be dealt with .
Joshua : Now you get the picture . Livvie must pay for what she has done .
Kevin : .. No , no , no , no , no !
Livvie : I ca nt believe it . My own father -- his eyes were empty . He wanted to , I know he did .
Rafe : Livvie .
Livvie : God , Rafe .
Rafe : It s ok , it s ok . It s me . It s all right .
Livvie : No , you do nt understand . He was going to kill me . You do nt understand . He was crazy .
Rafe : You know what ? Slow down . Tell me -- what happened ?
Livvie : My father , Kevin . I ran out and I got away , but I do nt know -- I m afraid he might be after me still .
Rafe : Livvie , you re a vampire . You could throw your father through a wall if you wanted to . I mean , you could just disappear before he even touched you .
Livvie : Yeah , I m sorry , Rafe . This is a little new to me . I was nt expecting my own father to come after and try and kill me .
Rafe : Ok . You know what ? Kevin -- he s the one who took Caleb s ring away from you , so I -- I know you hate this , but you re never going to be able to trust your father again .
Livvie : No , you do nt -- you do nt understand . He stopped .
Rafe : What ?
Livvie : He was -- he was so crazy , but he -- he told me to run , and it was like some light clicked in his head and he was my dad again .
Rafe : Ok , ok , wait a second . Do you think Joshua turned him ?
Livvie : No . No , I do nt suspect that at all , but somehow he s under his control .
Rafe : Ok . Yeah , you re right . It s probably some kind of exotic drug . I mean , your father , he s already enough of a loose cannon . Joshua would never trust him with fangs , you know ?
Livvie : Yeah , that s comforting .
Rafe : I m sorry , but it s true .
Livvie : They all think I did it , you know .
Rafe : Did what ? Think you did what ? What are you talking about ?
Livvie : Killed Alison . Jamal came after me . And where are they , anyway ?
Rafe : Alison and Caleb ? Good question .
Livvie : I thought they were supposed to be with you .
Rafe : Yeah , well , obviously , they re not , huh ?
Livvie : What , are you trying to say that Caleb took her or something ?
Rafe : Oh , no , no , no , no , I m not saying that at all . I mean , Caleb -- I mean , he s much too nice of a guy to do something like that , right ?
Livvie : Come on , Rafe . That does nt make any sense . Maybe somebody was close to finding them or something . Maybe they re out looking for us .
Rafe : Hmm . Maybe , yeah .
Livvie : Anyway , did it work ? Did you get into Joshua s dream ? Were you able to get to him ?
Rafe : Yeah . Yeah , I -- I got to him , all right .
Livvie : Ok , so where is it ?
Rafe : It ?
Livvie : Yes , it . You said that the plan worked , so , come on , give me .
Rafe : Give you ?
Livvie : Come on , Rafe , do nt play stupid . The antidote . Did you or did nt you get it for me ?
Joshua : I know there s somebody there .
Caleb : Do nt say a word . Dot t even breathe .
Joshua : Come out . Come out .
Joshua : Ah . Company s here .
Caleb : Shh .
Joshua : Right on time . New arrival s at last here . A new recruit is just a heartbeat away . I just love it when things go according to plan . It s time to dance with the next partner on my list . Oh , Franklin , is that my honored guest arriving ?
Frank : They just came through the gate .
Joshua : Good work . Now , be sure to close the gates behind them . I have a sense there s an unwanted guest on the grounds . Do you understand , Frank ?
Frank : Understood .
Frank : Good evening , maam . It s nice to have you here . Thanks for coming . May I ?
Amanda : Thank you . You certainly may . You look familiar .
Frank : Frank Scanlon .
Amanda : Oh , yes , from the hospital . Frank , it s nice to see you again .
Frank : Nice to see you , Mrs. Barrington . Mr. Temple is waiting for you inside .
Amanda : Oh .
Frank : Right this way .
Amanda : Lead on , Macduff . I understand it s going to be quite an interesting evening .
Joshua : As someday it should happen that a victim must be found I ve got a little list I ve got a little list of society offenders who might well live underground who never shall be missed who never shall be missed Stay tuned for scenes from the next Port Charles : Desire
kevin : I know you re in pain .
Elizabeth : That is pain .
Rafe : There is no antidote .
Livvie : No ! This ca nt be true .
Alison : [ Muffled ] Get your hands off --
Caleb : You are going to get yourself killed doing -- ow !

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Skye : It s a simple question , Jason . For the sake of my child , I need an honest answer . Is Lorenzo back in the mob ?
Lorenzo : We are not going to discuss this here .
Skye : Well , I guess I have my answer .
Lorenzo : Do nt jump to conclusions . This conversation concerns you , me , and our child . I m not going to have it in front of him .
Jason : If you re asking me if Alcazar s still in the business -- yeah , I think so .
Alexis : Sam , this is your home , too . You do nt ever need to ask permission to be here . Come on in .
Sam : You -- you may not want me to move back in after you hear what I have to say .
Alexis : I bought this house hoping that you might want to live here , too , and I know that s idealistic . And believe me , I do nt have illusions of us suddenly becoming some sort of an instant family , because we re on uncharted territory . But the bottom line is , you re my daughter . And you will always be welcome here .
Sam : Thank you . I -- I just do nt want to put you and my sisters in any danger .
Nikolas : For someone who claims to rarely repeat herself , this seems all too familiar to me . Huh .
Carly : What do you want ?
Nikolas : It -- it does nt surprise me that Carly is seeking comfort in your arms right now . It really does nt .
Patrick : Well , no one asked you .
Nikolas : No , but you might want to clarify your -- your motives with her . Because this is about payback , Patrick , plain and simple .
Ric : You know there s no love lost between me and Jason . I would ve thought that he was at least competent .
Sonny : What do you mean , Ric ?
Ric : Well , Justus -- Justus was killed on Jason s watch . Just another person that s cut down because Jason ca nt keep a lid on things . I do nt know -- maybe he s not capable of running the organization after all , huh ?
Ric : I mean , think about it , Sonny . He was just looked at as an enforcer of yours for years . I do nt know what you want to do about it , though . I -- I suppose you better put Max and Milo on it , just in case .
Sonny : Max !
Max : What s wrong ?
Sonny : You got to -- you got to find her .
Max : Who ?
Sonny : You got to -- Lily .
Ric : Why -- why do you want Max to find Lily , Sonny ?
Max : You mean Emily , right , Boss ? You want me to find Emily ?
Sonny : Emily ?
Skye : You promised me that our child would nt grow up surrounded by violence and danger . Why would you make that promise to me if you had no intention of ever keeping it ?
Lorenzo : I will answer all of your questions , but not here .
Skye : Is that how you kept Diego from going back to prison ? By agreeing to go back to doing whatever it is that you do ?
Lorenzo : Skye , please . We can discuss this later .
Skye : Diego was caught trying to buy a gun . A clear violation of his parole . And yet , somehow , the charges were dropped . Tell me , Jason , would that have happened if some kind of a deal were nt made somehow ?
Jason : In my experience , nothing s for free .
Skye : I appreciate your honesty . Thank you .
Lorenzo : We need to talk .
Skye : There s really nothing much left to say , is there ?
Lorenzo : We are having a child together . Before you jump to any conclusion , give me a chance to explain . Skye , for the sake of our baby , hear me out .
Skye : I ll meet you at the Metro Court -- for the baby s sake .
Jason : Stan , I need to see you right away . It s about Sam .
Sam : Somebody broke into my room at Kelly s .
Alexis : Did you call the police ?
Sam : No , no . I did nt have to . Nothing was taken . They just obviously wanted me to know that they -- they had been there .
Alexis : How so ?
Sam : Well , my suitcase was unpacked , my clothes were hung in the closet , my -- my pictures of Jason and I were on the dresser .
Alexis : Well , that would unsettle anybody .
Sam : Yeah , yeah . I mean , more than anything , it was a reminder that even though I m not living with Jason , I m still a target .
Alexis : I m not so sure . Jason s enemies send their threats through a hail of bullets , not subtle mind games . I do nt think so .
Sam : Ok . Well , then who do you think it could have been ?
Alexis : School s out . A bunch of bored teenagers hanging around Kelly s . Do you think maybe one of them s pulling a prank ?
Sam : I -- do you really want to take that chance ?
Nikolas : I missed months of my son s life because of her lie . I was nt there every minute while he was struggling for his life . The only reason that I have an opportunity to build a life with my son is because of Robin .
Carly : Robin ?
Nikolas : Yes , Robin .
Carly : Robin ? The great bearer of truths that are nt hers to tell .
Nikolas : Robin -- Rob --
Carly : St. Robin .
Nikolas : Robin was honest with me , even though she knew that it would be used against her by everybody .
Carly : Robin could nt wait to blow Little John s life apart so she could get back at me .
Nikolas : You see -- you see , Carly ca nt accept the fact that Robin told the truth about her son Michael s real paternity . Robin gave me my son back . I d hate to see it cost her a relationship with you .
Patrick : What relationship ? Look , I m glad you got your son back , but what happens between Carly and I is none of your business , or Robin s . Should we go ?
Carly : Yeah .
Lainey : Whoo ! Whoo ! Guys , I have a confession to make .
Kelly : Ok .
Elizabeth : Ok .
Lainey : It s probably not the kind of thing that a shrink should be talking about , but what the hell ?
Elizabeth : Hmm .
Lainey : I m a fraud .
Elizabeth : Oh , come on , why would you say that ?
Lainey : Because I sit in my office all day and I give advice that I have absolutely no business giving .
Elizabeth : No .
Robin : You are a licensed psychiatrist . You re perfectly qualified to give advice .
Lainey : Ok -- can I tell you -- just reading a couple of text books and taking a couple tests ? I m -- you know , I m talking about practical applications . You know , like , do you know that I have spent the majority of my career counseling the brokenhearted , and I ve never been in love .
Kelly : Well , consider yourself one of the lucky ones . Love is nothing but misery and heartache .
Elizabeth : Oh .
Robin : Not if you find the right person , right ?
Kelly : I do nt know .
Emily : And when you do , love can be wonderful . It takes you to another place ; you feel this incredible rush .
Kelly : Well , do we have to talk about your sex life ?
Robin : Yeah . Sonny s like --
Elizabeth : Being in love is like nothing you ve ever experienced . You ll be standing in line at the grocery store and you ll hear a song that was played when you first kissed . The next thing you know , you re standing with this stupid smile just plastered across your face .
Emily : But it changes . The incredible rush is eventually replaced by something more solid .
Kelly : With boredom and contempt .
Robin : Oh , downer .
Lainey : Ouch .
Kelly : What they re not telling you -- what they re not telling you is love can die a very ugly death . I mean , once your heart gets ripped out , it s stomped all over . And trust me , that is reason enough not to risk it .
Robin : Well , I guess that is the question we have to ask ourselves . Is the joy of falling in love worth the pain of possibly losing it ?
Dillon : Hey . I got your message . Why do you want to meet here ?
Lulu : You up for a game of pool ?
Dillon : Yeah . What are we playing for ?
Lulu : I m sure we ll think of something .
Georgie : What are these for ?
Diego : This is for the other night on the pier ; just me saying thank you .
Georgie : You know , I still do nt know what has you so upset .
Diego : Well -- and that s why this means so much , okay ? You did nt ask any questions , and you just held me without even knowing what was wrong with me .
Georgie : You ready to tell me now ?
Diego : Look , Georgie , it was just a lot of crap on my head . That s it . Do you -- do you like them ? They re the same as the corsage I got you for prom .
Georgie : They re beautiful .
Diego : Good . Well , look , I m -- I was thinking that just getting you flowers was not enough , okay ? Because I was -- no , listen , I was awful to you . I was , okay ? You were just trying to help me .
Georgie : Diego , we re friends .
Diego : What ?
Georgie : You do nt owe me anything .
Diego : No -- look , I -- listen , I know . I know we re just friends , okay ? I still want to do something for you . Can I take you out to dinner tonight ?
Sonny : Where is she ?
Ric : Who , Sonny ?
Max : Oh , so you re worried because Emily s not home yet ? Is that what you meant ? You said Lily , but you meant Emily , right ? Because Lily s dead , you remember ?
Sonny : I know that . I saw her die .
Ric : You all right ?
Sonny : It should have been me .
Ric : Max , why do nt you go call Emily ? I m sure Sonny will feel much better knowing that she s okay . Sonny , why do nt you let me get you a drink , okay ?
Max : Ric , Ric , Ric , Ric -- he does nt need another drink .
Sonny : You do nt know what I need ! I give the orders , you do nt ! Go find Emily , now !
Ric : Sonny , come on . Sonny ? Over here . Come on . You re all worn out . Come on , sit down .
Ric : I ll get you something .
Sonny : Ah .
Ric : You ve been thinking a lot about Emily , and Lily lately , right ? But mostly Lily ?
Sonny : She s always on my mind . I just ca nt forget .
Ric : Ok . Well , I think sometimes if you face what s bothering you , you get it out in the open , you can break the hold that it has on you . So why do nt we try it ? What else do you remember about the night that Lily died ?
Robin : No matter how many walls you build around your heart or how you try and tell yourself it s not going to happen , love has a way of sneaking up on you . And when it does , there s nothing you can do about it .
Elizabeth : Hmm . Spoken like a woman whose own walls have come tumbling down .
Kelly : Hmm .
Emily : Admit it , Robin . You re falling for Patrick , are nt you ?
Kelly : Gotcha .
Robin : I --
Kelly : Ha - ha .
Robin : All right , well , when he drops his cocky attitude for a second , there is a decent guy . I mean , I ve seen a glimpse of it , but --
Kelly : He s still a player .
Robin : Yeah .
Lulu : Oh . Time to pay up .
Dillon : All right , what do you want ?
Lulu : A dance .
Dillon : A -- dance ? What , like , right here ?
Lulu : Yeah . Loser buys the song . Come on .
Dillon : What ? All right . Um -- you know what , Lulu ? I m going to -- I m sorry , I m going to have to take a rain check on that . Make it up to you some other way .
Lulu : Let me guess -- Georgie ?
Dillon : Yeah . I was going to surprise her at the hospital tonight .
Lulu : Well , I -- I thought you two were fighting .
Dillon : We are . Yeah , we -- well , that s our thing , though . You know , we fight and then we make up , and then we fight and then we make up .
Lulu : Hmm .
Dillon : But we love each other . That s our thing . So --
Lulu : So --
Dillon : You ll know what that s like someday . Hey , I m going to -- um -- I m going to take off , all right ?
Lulu : Ok .
Dillon : I ll see you .
Lulu : Yep .
Georgie : I ca nt have dinner with you tonight , or any night . It would nt be fair to Dillon .
Diego : Dillon -- look , last I heard , you two were getting a divorce .
Georgie : I know that I ve been sending you a lot of mixed signals recently .
Diego : Yeah .
Georgie : The kiss at the prom and last night on the pier , and I m sorry for that . I still love Dillon .
Diego : Just keep them .
Georgie : I ca nt .
Diego : Yeah .
Diego : You have a nice day .
Woman : Oh .
Alexis : This is D.A. Davis . I m going to need a patrol car stationed outside my house until further notice . Thank you . All right , so the police will be here any minute .
Sam : Jason already has men watching the house .
Alexis : Yeah , which is drawing attention to the fact that you re staying here . If the police are stationed here , it s possible Jason s enemies may assume that they re guarding me . So I just think it s safer all the way around .
Sam : Ok .
Alexis : Ok .
Sam : Hey , guys , hi . Um -- look , thank you . Thank you so much for your help , but I m not going to need your protection anymore .
Guard : Mr. Morgan wants us to make sure you re -- you re fine , even --
Sam : No , look , I -- I understand that , but the police are coming to watch the house . So as soon as they get here , you -- you can go .
Stan : I just talked to the guys we have watching Sam down at the lake house . She sent them away . Alexis now has cops watching her .
Jason : That s -- that s not enough . You know what ? Ok , go over to Kelly s , all right ? I want you to search every inch of Sam s old room . I want you to look for anything that s going to tell us who broke in . When you find something , you call me on the cell , okay ?
Stan : You going to see Sam ?
Jason : Alcazar was here . And he knows more about this than he s saying . I m going to find out what .
Alexis : If one of you could just stay around the door , and the other one check the property --
Officer : Yes , maam .
Alexis : Thanks . I m glad you came back .
Sam : Well , you know , this little one can be very persuasive .
Alexis : No kidding . And you know what ? She is well aware of that , too . All she has to do is well up her eyes and pout that lower lip , and she knows that she can get Ric to cave instantly .
Sam : Oh . And you wo nt ?
Alexis : Not so much . If I did , can you imagine what she d be like when she was 10 ? I can barely stay one step ahead of her as it is .
Sam : You said that you do nt have any illusions about me living here , but I -- I know that Kristina does .
Alexis : Then I think that you and I need to start being honest with each other -- painfully , if necessary , to alleviate any tension in the house .
Sam : Well , that , I can do .
Alexis : Hmm . Are you all right ?
Sam : Yeah , I just got -- I got really cold all of a sudden . I m going to go get my sweatshirt .
Alexis : Ok .
Max : Hi . I need to speak with Emily Quartermaine . Do you know where she is ? It s important .
Sonny : Lily was on a plane to Puerto Rico to tell her father that we were having a child . I told her not to go til the morning . It was supposed to be the happiest night of our lives . It -- it was at Luke s club . Packed . I stood up and I told everybody that Lily was carrying my child . Mike was going to be a grandfather . Lily was -- she was laughing . She was telling everybody that I had picked out baby names . Maria Adella if it was a girl , and Michael if it was my son .
Ric : What --
Sonny : Ah .
Ric : What happened after you left Luke s ?
Sonny : Whew . Well -- what happened after we left Luke s ? We walked out . Mike stopped me because he had to talk to me about something . Lily kept walking to the car . God , she looked beautiful . She had -- she had this pink dress . It kind of floated around her and -- she turned back , she smiled at me . Then she got in the car , right ? And then I -- I -- I was shaking hands with Mike , Luke . Then I turned . Oh -- turned to -- to look at the car , and it -- it exploded . Uh -- and , uh , my whole world went up in flames . Should have been me in that car .
Ric : Sonny , I wish -- I wish you could -- you could go back to save Lily , and take away all this pain . That way , everything would finally be resolved .
Lainey : God , I still ca nt believe that Justus is dead . How do you do it ?
Emily : Do what ?
Lainey : Love Sonny , when he ends every second of his life in danger . Are nt you afraid he s going to end up like Justus ?
Emily : Oh , there s no point in dwelling in what could happen . It -- it wo nt change anything .
Elizabeth : She s right . Every time Lucky walks out that front door , I know that he s going to a dangerous job . And every time I kiss him , I know that it could be the last time . But I can not spend my life living in the what ifs . We just make every moment we have together count and let the future take care of itself . It s all any of us can do .
Lainey : Hmm .
Diego : What do you want ?
Lulu : Are you serious about Georgie ?
Diego : Why ?
Lulu : I m done playing games . It s time we break up Georgie and Dillon for good . And I know exactly how we re going to do it .
Epiphany : If any of the patients on this floor can actually pull themselves up out of bed , they d be halfway to the cafeteria by now . What is taking so long ?
Georgie : I m really sorry .
Epiphany : That does nt do much for their hunger pains , now , does it ? Get moving .
Dillon : Psst . Hi .
Georgie : You brought me flowers ?
Dillon : Yeah .
Georgie : Go , go , go .
Dillon : What -- um -- well , yeah , it was --
Georgie : Thank you .
Dillon : Either that or sport a trench coat and hold a boom box over my head .
Georgie : Come on , you do nt have to blare Peter Gabriel to get me to fall in love with you .
Dillon : You even know the song ? I m so proud of you .
Georgie : Dillon , you ve made me watch that film at least 10 times since we ve been together .
Dillon : All right , well , here s the thing . It s a classic , so how about tonight , pizza , and we make it 11 ?
Georgie : That sounds like the perfect way to spend an evening .
Epiphany : You wo nt be spending the evening with anyone if that meatloaf is still sitting here when I get back !
Georgie : Hold these for me . I ll be right back . I love you .
Dillon : I love you , too .
Robin : Someone really , really wants to talk to you .
Elizabeth : Hey , no cell phones allowed at Jake s .
Kelly : This is so not a good time .
Lainey : It s a girls night .
Robin : Yes , exactly .
Emily : Awful .
Kelly : We are trying to have a girls night out at Jake s . If the phone keeps ringing , that ca nt happen .
Max : No , no , no -- I -- I need to talk to Emily . It s very important to --
Max : Hello ?
Emily : Was it Sonny ?
Kelly : We re going to need more limes over here .
Coleman : Ok .
Kelly : This was supposed to be cut off .
Sonny : Find Emily ?
Max : Yeah , boss , she s at Jake s with some friends .
Sonny : That place is full of lowlifes . I got to go get her . Give me the keys . Give me the keys !
Ric : Sonny , why do nt you -- why do nt you let me drive ?
Sonny : I m not -- I can handle it .
Ric : Come on , why do nt you let Max drive you ?
Max : Boss , come on , let me take you .
Sonny : It s my girlfriend !
Ric : Sonny , come on .
Sonny : It s my car !
Ric : It s really not a good idea .
Sonny : Step back ! I m going !
Ric : Sonny , I --
Sonny : Sonny nothing .
Max : Nice work , Ric . Sonny s drunk . He s about to get behind the wheel of a car that can do 180 .
Ric : What , that s supposed to be my fault , Max ? Look , he -- he wanted to go out . There s no way that you or I could stop him .
Max : Well , if you had nt been pouring scotch down his throat all day , maybe he would have .
Ric : My brother s under a little bit of stress right now . I m just trying to calm him down .
Max : What , by talking about his dead wife ? Huh , Ric ? When Sonny gets behind the wheel of that car , he could get himself killed . Is that what you want ?
Lainey : Dr. Kelly , sexy and single .
Elizabeth : Whoo - hoo !
Kelly : Ok !
Lulu : Great . Here s the plan . So you re going to lure Georgie to some isolated place , and then I will happen to find you in what will hopefully be a compromising position . I ll run to Dillon , have him drag it out of me that you and Georgie had sex .
Diego : That -- that wo nt work . She s going to deny it ever happened .
Lulu : So will you . You will deny it so believably , Dillon wo nt know who to believe .
Diego : That could work .
Lulu : It s a simple plan . If Dillon trusts Georgie , then he believes that you guys did nt have sex . But if Dillon believes that Georgie s lying , then it s proof that they do nt belong together . You comfort Georgie , I comfort Dillon , everyone gets what they want .
Skye : Our baby is buying you this chance . You have exactly one opportunity to come clean . Did you make a deal to keep Diego out of prison ?
Lorenzo : Yes , I did . It was the only way I could protect my son . It s what I would do to protect any of my children .
Skye : What kind of a deal did you make ?
Lorenzo : Details do nt matter .
Skye : Oh , on the contrary , I think it s extremely relevant to our child s future .
Lorenzo : If I agreed to go back to the business , Diego would be set free .
Skye : Go back ? That would imply that you actually got out for a while .
Lorenzo : I did . I wanted to start over with you and our child .
Skye : How do I know you have nt been lying to me all along ?
Lorenzo : Skye , I have never lied to you about my feelings for you or this child . I wanted to build a safer life so that we could raise this child together , and I believe that we still can . I can protect you , Diego , and this child by using my influence . I can keep us all safe .
Skye : You know this life , this -- this business is nt safe for anyone . The baby and I will be collateral damage for the next time someone tries to bring you down .
Alexis : Since we resolved to be honest , I ll go first . I m going to be straightforward and tell you that I am thrilled that you are choosing to build a life without Jason . You told me you thought you were nothing without him and I know that s not true . You re a smart , self - determined young woman , and you have endless potential , Sam . But I also know that it s your life and it s your choice , and I m going to support you no matter what you do .
Sam : Do you really mean that ?
Alexis : I really mean that .
Sam : Well , then it -- um -- it looks like we are off to a good start . Okay . Good night .
Alexis : Good night , Sam .
Alexis : Sam ? I m really glad that you re here .
Ric : Do I want Sonny to kill himself ? Yeah , Max , that was the plan all along , you know , so I can go take his business away from him . Oh , but that s right -- he does nt have a business anymore because his so - called best friend stabbed him in the back and took everything that he had , and while he was at it , he tried to treat him like some sort of 5-year - old and tell him who he could and could nt love . Remember ? That s Jason . It s not me , Max .
Max : No , Ric . Jason took over the business to protect his sister . He offered it back to Sonny -- Sonny did nt want it !
Ric : Yeah , yeah , yeah , I ve heard it all -- I ve heard it all , all right ? Jason has systematically destroyed my brother s life for years with his ignorance ! He needs help , Max , to put his life back together .
Max : He does nt need your kind of help .
Ric : Oh , really ? You know what , Max ? We need an attitude adjustment here . No , no , no , we need an attitude adjustment here . See , I m Sonny s brother , this is his house , he wants me here . So , if you want to keep working here , my advice to you is you better find a better way to get along with me . Because I m not going anywhere . My brother is sick , and I am going to be the one who helps him .
Coleman : There you go .
Sonny : Hey . Are you ok ?
Emily : Yeah . What -- what are you doing here ?
Sonny : Oh . I thought you did nt come home from work and I just -- I got -- got worried .
Emily : Yeah , Lainey was having a rough day and we did nt want her to be alone . I --
Sonny : Oh , hey . I m sorry . Hey , I m so sorry about Justus . He s a good friend of mine , a good guy . He s going to be missed .
Lainey : Thank you all for doing this . Ahem . It s really helped .
Kelly : Bet you wo nt feel that way in the morning .
Sonny : Hey --
Robin : Come on , I ll take you home .
Lainey : Ok .
Emily : I ll catch up with you guys later .
Kelly : Yeah , okay .
Lainey : Okay , bye .
Sonny : Whew . This -- mmm .
Emily : Sonny ? Is -- is everything all right ? What is --
Sonny : Yeah , I just got keyed up . I m keyed up because of Justus . Oh , man . I would hate it if anything ever happened to you .
Emily : Nothing is going to happen to me . Sonny , is -- uh -- is Max outside ?
Sonny : No , I drove .
Emily : Okay , you been drinking . Let me drive you home .
Carly : Can you believe Nikolas ? He s probably lurking outside your room waiting to tell Robin all the juicy details on how I took advantage of you .
Patrick : You re saying you would nt seduce me just to get back at Robin ?
Carly : Not that that little witch does nt deserve it . And as much as I would enjoy using you to get back at her , I m far from being over Jax .
Patrick : Hmm .
Carly : What we had was special , and it was real and it was different .
Patrick : Jax was a fool to leave .
Carly : Yeah , he was .
Patrick : Well , in case you change your mind , I m always open to being used .
Carly : There was a time that I would ve jumped into bed with you the second Jax left . Oh , what the hell .
Skye : If you really want to protect us and keep this baby safe , you will stay out of our lives for good .
Lorenzo : That s not a solution . I know you re upset , but there has to be a way to make this work that does nt involve me giving up this child .
Lorenzo : I have to take this .
Skye : Business comes first .
Lorenzo : No , I want to finish this discussion . This will take a moment .
Skye : No need to rush . We are finished .
Lorenzo : Yes ? Has the delivery been received ?
Jason : Why do nt we step outside .
Lorenzo : Yeah . Gladly .
Jason : There s something you do nt want Skye to know about . What is it ?
Lorenzo : Skye is none of your business .
Jason : No , I got nothing to lose . Can you say the same ?
Lorenzo : Manny Ruiz is alive and in Port Charles . And he said he has something left for him to finish .
Alexis : Why are nt you in bed ?
Kristina : I had a bad dream .
Alexis : You did ? How about if I read you another story ? Will that help you ? I love you .
Alexis : You hold on one second . Let me just get that , okay ? I ll be right back . Okay . Ooh , I like this book .
Officer : All right , the perimeter is secure , but we ll continue to patrol it all night .
Alexis : Good . Thanks . Let me know if you find anything .
Officer : We will .
Kristina : Why -- why is the policeman here ?
Alexis : To make sure that you do nt have any more bad dreams , okay ? Are you ready to read it ? This is a good one . Okay , let s go , let s go .
Manny : Quiet -- quiet , sweetness . It s going to hurt more if you scream .
Sonny : I m going to go ahead and drive us home . Whoa --
Emily : Whoa , whoa --
Emily : Okay . Now let me -- oh -- okay . Uh -- why do nt you let me drive just this once , hmm ?
Sonny : Give me the keys . Give me the keys .
Emily : No .
Sonny : Give me the keys .
Ric : Hey , Sonny ? Hey . Come here , come here . Huh . You all right ?
Sonny : Why would nt I be all right ?
Ric : Oh , you -- you left the house in kind of a hurry , you know ? Listen , I m sorry if talking about Lily made you feel uncomfortable . I -- I just thought that maybe it d help you get past what happened that night . I never intended to cause you any more pain .
Sonny : You were only trying to help , Ric .
Ric : That s right . That s right ; I m your brother . I ll do whatever I can to help you in any way , all right ?
Emily : [ Echoes ] Sonny ? [ Normal voice ] Come on .
Sonny : [ Echoes ] No !
Sonny : [ Normal voice ] Wait . Get up .
Emily : What ?
Sonny : Oh , thank God you re alive .
Emily : What happened ?
Sonny : The car exploded . You could ve -- you could ve been dead .
Emily : Oh , my God , Sonny .
Robin : You certainly do nt waste any time , do you ?
Sonny : I saw the car explode . Take me home .
Ric : Okay . My car s right over here .
Jason : I need to speak with Sam .
Alexis : I ll have her call you back in the morning .
Manny : Do nt make any noise . I d hate to have to kill anyone .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Lily : Thank you for helping my mother upstairs .
Holden : Sure , no problem .
Lily : And my mother s on pain medication , so she s not herself . So , all that talk about the two of us getting back together --
Holden : Right . Right , right , right .
Lily : That was very awkward . Very awkward .
Meg : What was awkward ? What s going on ?
Lily : I ll go check on my mother . Excuse me .
Meg : Okay , what s with the looks and let s stop talking cause Meg just walked in ?
Holden : Lucinda , she made a request . She wants Lily and me to get back together .
Meg : Did you tell her she was full of it ?
Holden : No .
Meg : Why not ?
Holden : Because she just had surgery . She s on pain medication .
Meg : Well , that explains why Lucinda s delusional . What s your excuse ?
Paul : Hey , hey , hey . Where are you going ?
Emily : You have nt said two words since we left the service . I just -- I do nt know what you need right now .
Paul : I need for you to tell me that my sister s gon na be okay .
Emily : Listen to me . Jennifer is strong . She ll get through this . And she s got Mike . He will help her . And after they ve grieved , they re gon na have a family . You ll see . What ? What is it ?
Paul : After you lose a baby , you do nt just snap your fingers and put your life back together again . Jennifer and Mike lost more than their child . They probably lost each other , too .
Mike : You ready to go home ? Do you need some more time here ?
Jennifer : It s not home .
Mike : What ?
Jennifer : The cottage . It s not home anymore , Mike . Not for me .
Barbara : I m just asking you both , please . Please do nt cut me off from my grandchild .
Will : Mom , that s not what we re doing .
Barbara : Honey , we have just lost Jennifer s baby . And I do nt think I could take it if I lose -- please let me see him . Please tell me where my grandchild is .
Will : Mom , there never was a grandchild .
Barbara : What ? What are you -- what are you saying ? That you were nt pregnant ?
Will : No , she was pregnant , but --
Gwen : I had my baby the same night Jennifer had hers .
Will : The thing is , Mom , I lied to you .
Gwen : Will is nt my baby s father , Ms. Ryan . That was someone else .
Casey : I m cool , Mom . So you can stop staring at me like I m going to implode .
Margo : Oh , well -- since you re not going to implode , you wanna tell me why Celia broke up with you ?
Casey : Because we had a fight .
Margo : About ?
Casey : Why does it matter ? People break up all the time .
Margo : Well , it s just that you guys have been going out for a while , now . Everything seems cool , and then you did that virginity pledge thing , and --
Casey : Mom , just give it a rest .
Margo : I m just saying it would take more than a fight to end something like that . So , what happened ? What ? All right , I know you think that I do nt understand or maybe you re embarrassed or something -- oh , baby , you are embarrassed . What happened ?
Casey : I did something .
Margo : What ?
Casey : You re probably gon na hate me .
Margo : No , Casey . My God , I could never , ever hate you . Why did you and Celia break up ?
Casey : Because of Gwen s baby .
Craig : Rosanna , what is it ?
Rosanna : How d you get back so fast ?
Craig : What s wrong ?
Rosanna : I found something , and -- I guess you could say it startled me .
Craig : What is it ?
Rosanna : The card -- with the footprint on it . The one the nurse gave me of Gwen s baby .
Craig : Our baby . What about the footprint ?
Rosanna : I had a feeling , but -- now I know .
Craig : What do you know ?
Rosanna : I know what you did . Oh , my God , Craig , I know .
Craig : Rosanna , you re not making any sense .
Rosanna : Do nt do that . Stop stalling . Stop trying to figure out all the angles here , some lie to keep me quiet and willing .
Craig : What is it do you think I have done ?
Rosanna : The baby -- the baby that we just held in the hospital -- that s not Gwen s baby . That little boy is Jennifer s child .
Craig : And how is that possible ?
Rosanna : You switched them . Craig , you switched the babies .
Margo : What does Gwen s baby have to do with you and Celia ?
Casey : Celia s mad at me because -- because of the way I acted about the baby .
Margo : You do nt like Gwen , do you ? I noticed that you always kept your distance . Is it because of the pregnancy ?
Casey : Yeah .
Margo : Yeah , well , she seems like kind of a confused girl . And everybody knows that Will s got a lot of problems . So maybe they were just sort of drawn to each other .
Casey : They were nt .
Margo : They were nt what ?
Casey : Together or dating or anything . When Gwen told us she was pregnant , Will just , out of the blue , said he was the father .
Margo : Wait , so Will -- he did nt tell you that they had been intimate ? He did nt talk to you about that ?
Casey : No . Will and I do nt talk about stuff like that . I do nt even talk to anybody about stuff like that .
Margo : Only Celia .
Casey : Yeah .
Margo : Yeah . So , I do nt know , you think that Gwen sort of set Will up ? Is that it ?
Casey : Yeah , kind of .
Margo : And Celia did nt like that ?
Casey : Celia s nice to everybody . And I know that I should be , too . But with Gwen , it was different . I knew stuff about her .
Margo : What ? What stuff ? Oh , oh , right . Casey , it s like a problem to you . If you do nt want to talk to me about it , do nt talk to me about it . I m just -- I m really sorry that this has come between you and Celia . Well -- I know . Go , go . And Casey -- I m really proud of you .
Casey : Mom , stop . I am so not perfect .
Margo : I know . But I get to love you anyway , do nt I ?
Casey : Can I talk to you ?
Celia : What s left to say ?
Casey : I love you , Celia . And I ll do whatever you want . I ll do anything to get you back , all right ? Just tell me what I have to do , because I ca nt lose you .
Will : Mom , I knew the baby was nt mine from the beginning .
Barbara : You knew ? Then why did you tell me that it was yours when it was nt ?
Will : I was nt trying to hurt you .
Gwen : He was trying to help me . Ms. Ryan , your son is a great guy . The baby s father did nt want anything to do with me , and I was all alone until Will decided to step up .
Barbara : And so now you and this other boy are going to raise this baby ?
Gwen : No . You were right when you said that I did nt have it together enough to raise a kid . So , I thought about it -- and I gave him away .
Barbara : What ?
Will : Gwen found a really nice couple to adopt the baby .
Barbara : He s gone ?
Gwen : Yeah .
Barbara : You know what ? If this is some lie that you ve concocted to keep me away from my grandchild --
Will : Mom , this is nt a lie . You know I would never give up my own child . Okay , not to keep him from you or for any other reason . That s just not me .
Barbara : So , who are these people ? These adoptive parents ? Are they here in Oakdale ? Where are they , Gwen ?
Gwen : The adoption is private . If you go poking around --
Will : Do nt do this , Mom , okay ? You re just gon na make this harder for Gwen --
Barbara : I m just trying to figure out the truth !
Will : I just told you the truth ! Mom , listen , you can still read me almost better than anybody . Gwen did nt have my baby . We never were even together like that . That s the truth .
Gwen : I ll wait for you in the car .
Will : I m really sorry you had to hear like this today -- here .
Barbara : No , no . No , no , no . Its okay , it s okay . It s much better like this . It s much better because you re -- you re too young to be a father . So , you go , okay ? Go on , I ll talk to you later . And I can concentrate on Jen , because she needs me .
Will : Did she say that ?
Barbara : Not in so many words , but I know my kids . We ll talk , too . You go on , okay ?
Will : You okay ?
Barbara : I m fine .
Jennifer : Mike , before the baby was born , you told me that our marriage was over .
Mike : I was angry .
Jennifer : Mike --
Mike : I am sorry about all that .
Jennifer : You were right to leave . You re my husband . I should have trusted you . If I had , you never would have walked out on me and gone to Chicago .
Mike : Let s not talk about this .
Jennifer : I never would have seen you with Katie . And I never would have been alone when I went into labor . And my baby would still be here .
Mike : Do nt do this . Please do nt think that way .
Jennifer : You know it s the truth . You know it . And now you re asking me to come home with you because you think that it s the right thing to do . But it s not the right thing for us , Mike . It s not .
Mike : There s got to be something . I need to do something to make this better .
Jennifer : The only thing that could make this better is having my baby here with me . And you ca nt do that . No one can .
Craig : You think I switched the babies ? What evidence do you have ?
Rosanna : The crease on the baby s foot . That you pointed out to me less than an hour ago , remember ?
Craig : Yeah , what about it ?
Rosanna : Well , it was nt on the card -- on the card that Nurse Thompson gave me , the print of the baby s foot . It was nt on the card !
Craig : Well , so what ? Maybe her hand slipped . Maybe she did nt apply enough pressure .
Rosanna : Or maybe it s not the same baby .
Craig : It is our baby , Rosanna . Where is this coming from ?
Rosanna : Jennifer s baby and Gwen s baby were both born on the same night prematurely .
Craig : Yes . Yes , so what ?
Rosanna : So , it would have been so easy for you to switch them .
Craig : Oh , with all the security and the monitors and the bracelets that require a hacksaw to take off ?
Rosanna : Well , you bribed the nurse .
Craig : Oh , oh , okay . So , I just happened to get the one nurse in the neonatal unit that could be bought .
Rosanna : Nurse Thompson left town . She left town without any warning . She -- she gave no note . She left in the middle of her shift .
Craig : So what ? She s a flake . It does nt prove anything .
Rosanna : Why did nt you go to your son s funeral ?
Craig : I could nt bring that child back . And there is a restraining order . Jennifer would have had me arrested .
Rosanna : But she invited you . I would understand , but she invited you . I know she did !
Craig : Yes , yes , she did . But she is nuts . You know , she might change her mind and call the cops . There is a reasonable explanation for everything .
Rosanna : Did nt you love him ?
Craig : Who ?
Rosanna : Your baby . Did nt you love him ?
Craig : Of course I loved him .
Rosanna : The baby that Jennifer gave you ? The baby that was supposed to be your meaning , the purpose , the one that was gon na make everything right . You re not grieving , Craig . You re not grieving for this baby because you know the baby did nt die . Gwen s baby died !
Craig : You re getting yourself all worked up over nothing .
Rosanna : Well then , do something . Put my mind at ease .
Craig : What do you want me to do ?
Rosanna : I want you to call Dr. Bob ! I want you to have the baby tested tonight .
Holden : I am not delusional about my relationship with Lily .
Meg : No . You re getting divorced . Yet you re always together .
Holden : You re right about that . I wonder why that is . I know . We have kids . We ve got three of them . That s why .
Meg : You re not here because of the kids .
Holden : No . I m here to support Lucinda . She s important to me .
Meg : And she is upstairs . In bed . And you re still here -- why ?
Holden : Because Lily and I were having a conversation .
Meg : About what ?
Holden : About Keith . We were talking about Keith .
Meg : Her boyfriend .
Holden : Do nt call him that .
Meg : That s what he is .
Holden : Are you trying to tick me off ?
Meg : I m trying to get you to get real about this .
Holden : And you know what s real because --
Meg : I m your sister . I see things .
Holden : Lily and I have been together for half our lives . Whatever it is you think you might have seen , it does not scratch the surface of what we mean to each other .
Meg : Then why are you getting divorced ? Oh , I know why . Let me tell you . Because that s what Lily wants . Do nt you get that ? If she did nt -- if this Keith guy was nt important to her , she would have torn up those divorce papers , because you guys do mean so much to each other , right ?
Holden : There s a lot going on . Lily -- she s afraid she might lose her mother .
Meg : I think you re waiting . I think you re waiting for Lily to get hit by some lightning bolt or something and she would then say , Oh , yeah , it s Holden I want . Look , I know it s not easy losing someone s love .
Holden : I m sorry about you and Josh .
Meg : And I m sorry about you and Lily . Okay , look , you do nt have to concede that things are over . But at least be honest with yourself .
Holden : About what ?
Meg : About why you re really here . What you are really doing . What you re hoping will happen .
Holden : Maybe you should do the same .
Meg : What are you talking about ?
Holden : Dusty .
Barbara : Where s Jennifer ?
Dusty : She s in there . Talking to Mike .
Jennifer : You loved me , Mike . And I loved you . And I m not going to let that turn into guilt and obligation . Because it was beautiful . It was amazing . And I m going to honor what we had by letting you go .
Mike : Jen , you ca nt go through this loss alone .
Dusty : She wo nt have to .
Paul : I m really -- really , really -- really sorry .
Emily : Sorry for being moodier than usual ?
Paul : Yeah . I guess you could say that .
Emily : Actually , I was thinking of saying a lot of other not - so - nice names to you but -- and I was imagining crockery at the head .
Paul : Crockery ? I do nt have any crockery . You could throw that wooden fish at me if you want to .
Emily : I thought about it . But then I thought about you . And what you went through with Rosanna when you thought you lost Cabot . I m sorry . I do nt know why I just said that .
Paul : Look , Em -- you already know this , you know . Rosanna and I were very happy together . And we always thought that we loved each other so much that nothing could tear us apart . And then we lost Cabot .
Emily : Rosanna blamed you .
Paul : It was my fault we lost Cabot .
Emily : No , it was nt your fault .
Paul : Yes , it was . And we both knew that .
Emily : No matter how much she was grieving , she had no right to intentially hurt you .
Paul : One minute you re a family . Then next minute you re not a family . What marriage could survive that ?
Emily : I do nt know . But when you re meant to be with someone , it should take more than a hard hit to knock you out of love .
Rosanna : Look , none of it matters . My marriage to Craig . Losing Cabot because of your father . Your affair with Emily . I love you . And I always will .
Emily : You d still be together if she had just loved you more . You d still be together if she had just loved you more .
Rosanna : Look , you say that you did nt switch the babies . I need you to prove it . I need you to prove that I was right to trust you , that I was right to share having a child with you , that I was right to marry you again .
Craig : All right , I will have our son tested .
Rosanna : You will ?
Craig : Yeah , I ll call Bob in the morning .
Rosanna : No , no , I need you to do it now , okay ?
Craig : What ?
Rosanna : He has all of Gwen s information . It s just a simple matter of verifying that she s the mother .
Craig : But it s so late . What s the difference of a few hours ?
Rosanna : I ca nt sleep with this hanging over my head , okay ? Let s just do it now . Let s get it done .
Craig : He is my son , and no one will take him from me , Rosanna . No one .
Announcer : Coming up on As the World Turns --
Dusty : If they say anything , you do nt have to feel anything . And you can lean on me .
Craig : All we have to do is stay silent . We love this baby . Ca nt you see how right that is ? - I promise . - I promise . - I promise .
Rosanna : How could you ? How could you ?
Craig : Rosanna , listen to me .
Rosanna : It s just like Cabot .
Craig : No , it s not .
Rosanna : Yes , it is . I did nt think you could be so cruel . How could you do this to me again ?
Craig : I did nt do anything to you .
Rosanna : You took that baby , and you put him in my arms and you told me that he was mine to keep . And all the time , you knew that he was nt Gwen s ? My God . Poor Gwen . How could you ? Do nt you think that she has a right to know ? Do nt you think she has a right to bury her child ? How could you ?
Craig : Rosanna , this is my flesh and blood . This is my son . This is our son . I had a right to do this .
Rosanna : You stole Jennifer s child .
Craig : Jennifer stole him from me . [ Rosanna scoffs ] All I ever wanted was to share custody . All I ever wanted was to have a part of his life , but she could nt allow that .
Rosanna : She was afraid of you . Rightfully so .
Craig : Oh , Jennifer ? Please . She did everything she could to lock me out of that child s life . She lied about the paternity , she tried to run away , she forced me -- she set me up to force me out of the country , okay ? She endangered her unborn child to set me up in court to keep me out of his life for five years . Five years is a lifetime , I would nt even know him .
Rosanna : How long have you been planning this ?
Craig : It was nt planned .
Rosanna : Craig .
Craig : It was nt planned . We were in the hospital when Gwen s baby was born . You left , and they brought my son in . There he was , born the same night . In the same neonatal unit , there the two of them were in their incubators , side by side . In front of me , nobody else , just me . It was an act of something , Rosanna . It was all so clear .
Rosanna : And that s when you switched them ?
Craig : That s when I took my child . And with your help , we can keep him .
Paul : I do nt want to think -- what ?
Emily : What are you doing ?
Paul : I do nt want to think about the past . You know , Jennifer losing her baby made me realize that I am the luckiest guy in the world .
Emily : What ?
Paul : See , look , because of that -- that smile , that laugh . I wanna laugh . I wanna smile .
Emily : You do ?
Paul : I do . I wanna laugh . I wanna smile . Let s celebrate .
Emily : Let s celebrate ? Celebrate what ?
Paul : You . Me finding my way back to you .
Emily : Wow , I guess that makes us both lucky .
Barbara : Listen , there s no reason that anyone has to make any kind of decision tonight . Mike , if Jen thinks that the two of you should live apart for a little while .
Jennifer : No , this is nt temporary . Mike , I ca nt live with you anymore .
Barbara : Then come live with me .
Mike : Oh , you do nt have to do that , Barbara . You can go back to our house , and I ll move out .
Jennifer : No , no , there are too many memories there . Thanks for the offer , Mom . I ll take you up on it .
Barbara : You will ? Well , that was easy , was nt it ?
Mike : Jen , I really wish you d think about this .
Jennifer : I ll be fine . Thank you for loving my baby and me .
Barbara : Honey , it s gon na be okay , all right ? It s gon na be okay . Everything here . Time will take care of everything , Jen . I promise .
Casey : You mean everything to me , Celia . I would give anything to go back to the way things were between us . Forgive me ?
Celia : I forgive you , but I ca nt be your girlfriend anymore , Casey .
Casey : Why not ? I mean , we ve cleared things up , and the baby -- Gwen s giving it up .
Celia : You mean we can pretend this never happened ?
Casey : No , but you can give me another chance .
Will : Sorry it took me so long to get here .
Celia : That s okay .
Will : Gwen and I just got done telling my mother about how there s no other baby to obsess over . And coming off the services , it was really bad timing .
Celia : Did she have a total meltdown ?
Gwen : No , she could ve , but Will was great with her .
Celia : How did I know that ?
Casey : What s goin on ?
Will : Maybe you and I should have a talk .
Gwen : Celia , maybe we should go outside .
Celia : Why ? What are you going to do ?
Will : Nothing . It ll just be a lot easier if we could talk alone .
Casey : It sure did nt take you long to move in on Celia .
Will : It was nt like that .
Casey : The hell it was nt ! You re here with her now , right ? I mean , that s why she would nt even think about getting back with me , because you stabbed me in the back .
Will : Celia broke up with you because of all the stuff that happened with Gwen .
Casey : Which you made worse !
Will : What , how ?
Casey : You and Gwen lied to me about the baby . Maybe if you d been honest with me and given me a little notice , I could ve dealed with Celia a little better than having her hate me .
Will : I lied to you because i was trying to keep you guys together . I thought you were what she wanted .
Casey : Yeah , well you sure got over that fast .
Will : Maybe we should talk about this later , when --
Casey : What , when I m okay about this , huh ? I m never gon na be okay about this . I was your best friend ! I mean , I was there for you when you came back to school after all that stuff that happened . I defended you against anyone that trashed you . I even defended you to Celia ! Man , I was there for you , and this is how you pay me back ?
Will : I m sorry you feel that way .
Casey : Yeah , well I m sorry I even know you .
Meg : Dusty s cute , okay ? And he s fun . It s not like he s my long lost love or anything . Besides , why do you care who I hang out with ?
Holden : Because you re my sister , and I do nt want to see you get hurt .
Meg : I can take care of myself , remember ?
Holden : Dusty has changed . He s not the same person he used to be . He s into a lot of dangerous , illegal stuff .
Meg : I have fun with Dusty . That s all , no big deal .
Holden : Now who s not being honest ?
Lily : I just checked the messages . There s a message from Kim .
Holden : Is something wrong ?
Lily : Jennifer Munson lost her baby .
Meg : She did ? When ?
Lily : I do nt know . They re having a service right now . That poor girl .
Meg : That s why I have nt heard from --
Lily : Heard what ?
Maid : Mrs. Snyder ? Your mother s asking for you .
Lily : Okay , I ll be right there . I m sure my mother will be asleep soon . Would you wait for me ?
Holden : Yeah , sure .
Meg : Well -- while you re waiting , I have some errands to run .
Holden : You re going to see Dusty , are nt you ?
Meg : He delivered that baby . He probably needs some comforting himself right now .
Holden : You think you know him . But you do nt .
Meg : You know what I do know . Hanging around Lily all the time that you do , ca nt be good for you . And , deep down inside , you know that too .
Barbara : I ll be outside when you re ready , okay ?
Jennifer : It was a mistake , agreeing to live with her .
Dusty : Well , it s not permanent . Just till you figure out what you need .
Jennifer : I need to be alone . I need some space .
Dusty : Everybodyll give you what you want , Jen , everybody . Including your mom .
Jennifer : And you ?
Dusty : I m not very good at following instructions .
Jennifer : So , if I ask you to leave me alone -- ?
Dusty : I wo nt do it .
Jennifer : Why ca nt you understand ?
Dusty : I do understand . I do . I was there for the whole thing , remember ? I know how much you loved him .
Jennifer : I do nt want to talk about it .
Dusty : You ve got ta talk about it .
Jennifer : No , no I do nt .
Dusty : You ve got ta talk about it . You got ta go through it , is what I mean .
Jennifer : No . No .
Dusty : Okay . Okay , then you do nt have to talk about anything . You do nt have to say anything . You do nt have to feel anything . I m here for you , and you can lean on me . It s okay .
Craig : This baby was nothing but a hardship for her . It was a pregnancy she did nt want . And now she can have children with Mike if she wants . She can have children . She s gotten me out of her life .
Rosanna : The only person who benefits here is you , Craig .
Craig : No , we all do . We all do . All we have to do is stay silent , and we love this boy . Ca nt you see how right that is ?
Rosanna : I can see you think its right .
Craig : Are you okay ? Are you alright ?
Rosanna : I m fine . I just think that with everything that s going on , I do nt think I ve eaten much today .
Craig : Are you sure that s all it is ? Do you want me to call a doctor or something ?
Rosanna : I just keep seeing him in my arms . I want him , Craig . I know it s wrong , but I want him .
Craig : Look , it ll be okay . It will . I ll get you something , okay ? All right .
Craig : Rosanna ?
Will : There s no getting past the fact that you ve been a good friend , Casey . A really good friend . And believe it or not , I was trying to be a friend , too .
Casey : You re right , I do nt believe you .
Will : What do you want me to do ?
Casey : Stay away from Celia .
Will : I ca nt .
Casey : You ca nt or you wo nt ?
Will : I wo nt .
Casey : I m not just gon na let you take her away from me .
Will : She s not a bag of chips , Casey . This is her decision to make .
Casey : And yours ! So you need to decide to back off !
Will : You do nt want to do this .
Casey : What s the matter , Will ? You afraid to throw the first punch ? Afraid you might lose it , ca nt control yourself ? Well , you know what , if you want Celia , fight for her !
Will : Back off !
Lily : My mother finally drifted off . I hope she ll sleep through the night . What are you doing ?
Holden : Oh , I was just leaving you a note . I need to get going .
Lily : Wait a minute , I thought you d stay for dinner .
Holden : No , not tonight . I have been putting off a lot of work with everything that s been going on . Do me a favor -- just tell Lucinda , if she needs anything , to give me a call .
Lily : Wait a minute . Did Meg say something to you ?
Holden : No , why ?
Lily : I do nt know . You seem different . Did she say something to upset you ?
Holden : No , she did nt say anything to upset me . Listen , what I said earlier about Keith --
Lily : Oh , you were right . My mother has to be my first priority here . And the sooner I make it clear to him , the better .
Holden : I ve been rethinking that . If he makes you happy , then go for it .
Dusty : Its okay , Jenny . It s okay .
Craig : Rosanna , where are you going ?
Emily : You re not gon na get that .
Paul : It could be Jennifer . I told her to call .
Emily : Okay .
Paul : Hello ?
Rosanna : Paul , please do nt hang up . I have to see you . I have to tell you the truth .
Announcer : Next week on As the World Turns --

### Dialogue:
Ridge : Yes , I ll tell her . Love you , too , Steffy . Bye .
Phoebe : I bet she wishes she was here .
Ridge : Better she s not . She would have been a nervous wreck today .
Phoebe : Yeah , I know I was .
Hector : Well , we all were , Phoebe , the way the prosecutor ripped into Shane like that .
Harry : That s because he came off like a wacko .
Ridge : Well , storm turned it around on cross - examination anyway .
Phoebe : I just -- I wish the judge had let him finish .
Ridge : Well , they ll have another shot tomorrow morning , first thing . Until then , I want you to stay away from Shane .
Phoebe : What if he calls ?
Ridge : Phoebe , his interest in you is very inappropriate .
Phoebe : I know , but he might get upset if he thinks I m avoiding him .
Ridge : Well , he s going over his testimony with Storm . After the mess he made on the stand today , they ll probably be at it all night .
Phoebe : You think so ?
Ridge : Yeah . Just to make sure , let hector or Harry answer the Phone until I get back , okay ?
Phoebe : Wait , where are you going ?
Ridge : I m going to visit your mom .
Phoebe : Tell her that I love her . We re going to do everything we can to get her out of there .
Ridge : Yes , we are . Remember , do nt answer the phone , do nt answer the door , okay ?
Harry : Do nt worry , Mr. Forrester . I ll keep an eye on her .
Hector : Hey , at least we know that Shane wo nt be coming around here . It sounds like Storm s going to keep him pretty busy .
Harry : Yeah , but for how long ?
Shane : Listen , can we just wrap this thing up already , please ? I have some plans , and I got someone really special coming by .
Storm : Is that right ?
Shane : Yes .
Storm : You are aware that the prosecution attacked your credibility today , so we need to be absolutely clear about what it is you re going to say . You saw Darla Forrester fall back into the --
Shane : Listen , I know what I saw . I know what to say . I know what to say !
Storm : You know what to say ? That s funny , because it s not what you say , it s how you say it .
Shane : Listen , man , if we keep going over it like this , it s going to end up sounding fake . So , why do nt you just -- just cut me a break , okay ?
Storm : A break ? Shane , this is important , okay ? How you look and act will affect how the jury perceives you . You need to comb your hair , you need to dress neater . Do nt you have a tie or something ?
Storm : Hey , Don Juan , you listening to me ?
Shane : What ? No , no , I m not . Listen , you re wasting your time here . And you re wasting mine , too . Thanks for coming by here . I ll see you tomorrow .
Storm : Thanks for coming by ?
Shane : Yeah , yeah . Now , let s get the celebration started .
Taylor : So much for celebrating tonight .
Thorne : Once everyone hears what Shane has to say , the judge could ask the D.A. to drop the case .
Taylor : Well , I seriously doubt she s going to make it that easy on him . But I do appreciate your positive attitude .
Thorne : Any chance I could get you to share it ?
Taylor : Well , I m feeling better about some things .
Thorne : But not about everything ?
Taylor : I m just worried about Shane .
Thorne : Look , I know he did nt look too good answering the D.A. s questions . But Storm will clean him up .
Taylor : No , that s not what I m worried about . I do nt know , I m just nervous about Shane . I just hate it that I ca nt be at my own home to protect my daughter .
Hector : I still think we should have told your father that Shane has been pressuring you .
Phoebe : My dad would go crazy , Hector . We ca nt do anything to make Shane take off .
Harry : Yeah , but that does nt mean you have to go over there .
Hector : Where ? Over to Shane s ?
Harry : Phoebe promised him that they d celebrate tonight .
Hector : What ?
Phoebe : It s Shane .
Harry : Do nt answer that .
Phoebe : I have to . Hello ?
Shane : Hey , Phoebe . Are you on your way over ?
Phoebe : I do nt think I can make it tonight , Shane .
Shane : What ? Why ?
Phoebe : I m not blowing you off .
Shane : Wait , wait . Phoebe , we had plans here . They were definite plans . This was our big night .
Phoebe : I know , I know .
Shane : Listen , you re not trying to lead me on here , are you ?
Phoebe : No , no , no . Shane , I want to see you . I do . It s just , my dad does nt want me to leave the house . Can you come here ?
Shane : Is your dad there ?
Phoebe : Nobody is .
Shane : So , we could be alone ?
Phoebe : Yeah . Just come down to the gate by the pool and I ll meet you down there .
Shane : By the pool ? Okay . That could be a special place . Listen Phoebe , I want this to be perfect . Okay ? And it will . All right . I ca nt wait to see you . All right , bye .
Phoebe : Bye .
Harry : You invited him here ? Phoebe , what are you thinking ?
Phoebe : I know what I m doing .
Hector : Phoebe , you told him that you were alone .
Harry : And if you think I m leaving you , then you re crazy .
Phoebe : I do nt want you to leave , that s why I asked him to come over .
Hector : Well , what if your father comes back home and sees him ? You just got finished telling me that Ridge would go ballistic .
Phoebe : Shane will be long gone by the time dad gets home . Okay ? I just -- we re going to talk , and I m going to convince him that we should wait one more day to celebrate , and by that time he ll have testified and mom will be home . Or at least on her way .
Harry : Forget it , Phoebe . I m not leaving you alone . This guy is dangerous !
Phoebe : No , he s not . Okay , maybe he comes on a little strong sometimes -- but he would never do anything to hurt me .
Harry : You do nt really believe that ? Do you like this guy ?
Shane : Oh , Shane , Shane , Shane , Shane . Your life has come a long way . From sleeping on the beach , to being homeless -- to one night -- one night that just makes a complete difference .
Shane : Need a little help , sweetheart ?
Phoebe : It s just a flat tire . Helps on the way .
Shane : I can help .
Phoebe : No , I m okay , really . No , I ll just wait in the car .
Phoebe : Darla !
Shane : Then I got this girl that comes out of the middle of nowhere that night -- this angel , Phoebe . I am not going to blow this , you understand me ? I am not going to blow this . I m going to make a difference here , in my life . I m going to do something right .
Shane : I ll say that phoebe did it out of the goodness of her heart . Because she did nt even know that was me that night on the side of the road , because I did nt tell her that until later . And the accident with my hand ? That was nt her responsibility . That was nt her fault , but she took full blame for it . Because that s the kind of person she is . She s a great person . And so is her family . They re really good people . And her mom , too . I mean , look at her mom . Her mom s confessing to an accident that was nt even her fault . That I can swear to .
Shane : Do nt you worry , sweetheart . I know you re counting on me , and I m not going to let you down . All right ? I ll be there for your mother , I m going to get her free . And I m going to be there for you . [ Shane remembering ] It s going to be a great night , a night you re never going to forget . A night that s going to change everything . Forever .
Thorne : Look , I can stop by the house and check on Phoebe , if you want .
Taylor : No , you have your own little girl to take care of .
Thorne : She s staying with Sally tonight .
Taylor : Ridge is there . I m sure she ll be okay .
Thorne : Well , I do nt think Shane s staying at the house anymore , anyway .
Taylor : No , he s not . Ridge told him to leave .
Thorne : Good . Sounds like he has everything under control .
Taylor : Unfortunately , I m sure Shane feels like he s the one in control . I just wish this whole damn thing was over . I m sorry , Thorne . I know I m responsible for what happened to Darla . On some level , I deserve everything I m getting .
Thorne : Taylor , it was an accident , okay ? And that is exactly what Shane is going to tell the jury .
Taylor : Yeah , the jury s already heard testimony , though . They know that I d been drinking , they know that I lied . If I was on the jury , I would nt feel too good about me .
Thorne : Well , I know how I feel about you . And I know that you would never intentionally hurt anyone . You ve made some serious mistakes , okay ? But hitting Darla was -- it was unavoidable , and the jury is going to see that .
Guard : Five minutes .
Taylor : Ridge , what are you doing here ?
Ridge : I just thought I d come by for a little moral support , but it looks like my little brother beat me to it .
Taylor : Well , that s sweet of you . I just wish that I was home , taking care of Phoebe . But listen , if Shane shows up --
Ridge : Shane s going over his testimony with storm . I do nt think he s going to be bothering Phoebe tonight .
Harry : Phoebe , I just want to know what s going on . It s not going to make me mad . Look , phoebe , stop avoiding the question . Do you like this guy ?
Phoebe : I just do nt think he s as dangerous as everyone s making him out to be , okay ? Look , we have to hurry . He s going to get here really soon .
Harry : Okay . I m going to hide back there --
Phoebe : Go upstairs , I ll be fine . I can handle this .
Harry : No . I m going to hide in those bushes , and if he threatens you --
Phoebe : No , no . He wo nt . Just go upstairs . I have my cell phone . I ll be fine . I ll be fine .
Harry : I m not leaving .
Phoebe : He is the only one who can get my mother out of jail . He has to testify tomorrow .
Harry : And you re willing to do anything to make sure he does ?
Phoebe : Not anything . I told you and him I m not ready for that with any guy .
Harry : Okay . So if he suspects that you re leading him on , you do nt think he s going to become violent ?
Phoebe : No , he wo nt .
Harry : Well , if he does , I m going to be right here . Because I m not leaving .
Phoebe : Okay . Look , you have to remember that you can not overreact . You have to stay hidden unless I call you .
Harry : Unless he touches you .
Phoebe : No , no , no , no . You have to stay hidden , because if he suspects anyone s here -- he s here , you have to go . Go , go , go .
Shane : Hey . I picked these up for you on the way over .
Phoebe : They re beautiful . Thank you .
Shane : Come here .
Phoebe : Hi .
Shane : God , you look beautiful . I mean , as always , but -- well , this is our night . It s finally here .
Taylor : Ridge , I hope I did nt sound ungrateful . I can use all the support I can get .
Ridge : Are you worried about Phoebe ?
Taylor : No , I know you can take good care of her . It s just that I -- I feel so disconnected in here .
Thorne : Well , you wo nt be in here much longer .
Ridge : Thorne s right . Storm s going to turn things around tomorrow . Look , things are already turning around . Look at you two . I got to hand it to you , Thorne . What you ve done here , the way you ve come around -- if it was nt for you , the mother of my children would be sentenced to ten years in prison .
Guard : You re popular tonight . Make it quick , time s almost up .
Storm : Well , I just came from seeing Shane .
Taylor : How did it go ?
Thorne : Can we count on him ?
Storm : Well , he s a little jumpy , but I think once he gets on the stand , his testimony will have a huge impact on the jury . And then , if everything goes according to plan , I think there s a very good chance that you could be going home .
Phoebe : Do you want something to drink ?
Shane : Oh , what is that ? Water ?
Phoebe : Yeah .
Shane : I mean , do nt you normally drink champagne or something when you re celebrating ?
Phoebe : Well , I m underage , you know that . I just -- champagne would make me tired .
Shane : Make you tired ? Well , I would nt want you to dose off on me now .
Phoebe : No .
Shane : How could you , though , with your heart beating like that ? So , your dad s not here , is he ?
Phoebe : No , he s visiting my mom .
Shane : What about Hector , is he here ?
Phoebe : Sleeping .
Shane : Sleeping .
Phoebe : Hey -- hey , what s the rush ? I mean , my dad -- he wo nt be here for a while .
Shane : Wait , wait . Phoebe , come here , come here , come here , come here . We ve waited a long time for this .
Phoebe : I ll be honest with you . Okay -- it s probably the trial tomorrow , and I m kind of nervous about what will happen --
Shane : Yeah -- why do nt you just admit it ? Just admit it then .
Phoebe : What ?
Shane : The first night we met -- the first night we met -- you still look at me the same way . Right ? Like I m some freak or something .
Phoebe : No , I do nt know what you re talking about , Shane .
Shane : Why do you get so intense , though , every time you re around me then ?
Phoebe : Because , this is all new to me .
Shane : It s new to you ? Phoebe , I told you that I love you . I ve never told another girl that before . I mean , you believe that , right ? It should mean something to you . Phoebe : It does , it does .
Shane : Listen , I think you re using me . I think you re using me . You do nt want me , you just want the testimony at the trial . Once your mom s free , it s gon na be the end of me .
Phoebe : No , no , no , that s not true , Shane .
Shane : Yes , it is ! Just admit it !
Phoebe : No , it s not . No , it s not !
Shane : It is true --
Harry : You bastard !
Phoebe : Harry ! Shane , are you okay ? Harry !
Thorne : It s almost over , okay ? Even Storm thinks so .
Taylor : I m afraid to get my hopes up .
Thorne : I should have believed in you .
Taylor : That you do now , Thorne , that makes all the difference to me . You know , lying in my cell every night wondering what s going to happen to me -- it would have been so easy for me to just give up , to get dragged down by all of my fears , and -- then you showed up in the courtroom and you asked the judge to give me a second chance . And coming here and telling me you want me to remain a part of your daughter s life , and bringing me Ally s letter and her drawings . And all of your support and your kind words . I mean , those might seem like little things to you , but that s all that s kept me alive , you know ? I feel like I ve been drowning . I feel like I m about to go under , and those have been like life rafts to me .
Thorne : I m not going to let you drown .
Taylor : You know , Thorne , it s just like -- you ve done so much for me . You ve given me a whole new perspective on my life . And if I am given another chance , I m going to make the most of it . And I am going to repay you for all the kindness you ve shown me . And I m definitely going to be very grateful for every ounce of freedom I have . But I m never going to jeopardize the lives of the people I love again .
Shane : Phoebe , this was supposed to be our night . This was supposed to be a wonderful night between us . And you do something like this . You told me that we were gon na be alone here . You did nt tell me your boyfriend was gon na be hiding in the bushes over there .
Phoebe : No , he s not -- I was just --
Shane : No , you know what ? I believed you . I believed in you . I thought you were somebody special , but you know something ? You re just like everybody else . You do nt give a damn about me !
Harry : Of course , she does nt . You re sick , man !
Phoebe : Harry , stop it . Stop !
Harry : No , he s using his power over your mother to force you to have sex with him . You know how disgusting that is ?
Shane : You do nt know what the hell you re talking about .
Harry : Oh , right , right , like Phoebe would ever be interested in a dirtball like you .
Phoebe : Harry -- Shane , stop it ! Harry , be careful . Guys , come on , stop it ! Stop it ! Be careful . Harry ! Harry -- wake up . Harry , Harry ! Shane , let me explain .
Shane : No , no , no , you were using me . You were -- you were using me !
Phoebe : No , I was nt . No , I was nt -- no !
Shane : You were -- what , have I been horrible to you ?
Hector : McGrath , let her go !
Phoebe : Stop it ! Stop it , stop !
Hector : Phoebe ? Phoebe !

Bill : Stop what ?
Katie : You re flirting with each other , right in front of me !
Brooke : We ve seen Katie irrational before , and it s had nothing to do with alcohol .

Brooke : Look , we do nt have the power to stop her or to know what she s doing when she s alone , but we do have the power to offer our support . It made a world of difference to me when I was going through the same thing . Is she at home ?

Wyatt : [ Laughing ] Yeah . You heard right .
Bill : I guess living in sin is nt working for you .
Wyatt : I want to be settled , Dad . You know this about me . And I happen to be in the market for a best man .
Bill : Are you , now ?
Wyatt : Mm - hmm .
Bill : I think you should ask your brother .
Liam : There s a face I can ... almost see .
Quinn : What kind of face ?
Liam : That s why I m asking .
Quinn : Is it -- is it a man or is it a woman -- maybe somebody that you -- you recognize from a movie or -- or you saw on the street ?
Liam : You do nt seem to want to help me remember . Why do nt you ? There s a whole history we have together that I ca nt share with you , because it s walled off from me . Does nt that ... matter to you ?
Quinn : More than you know .
Liam : I know you want me to pack .
Quinn : You know , I - I just -- I do nt think it s a good idea for you to keep looking at those old photos .
Liam : Are nt you supposed to meet the real - estate agent ?
Quinn : Well , where -- where are the albums ? Did you -- did you put them someplace ?

Brooke : Okay . But our relationship has to be more than just one apology on top of another .
Katie : Yeah . What would you like it to be ?
Brooke : I d like us to be able to be honest with each other without being afraid that it would be the end of us . Are you still drinking , Katie ?
Katie : No . No . I quit .
Wyatt : Okay . Do nt you think that s , like , the ultimate in bad taste ?
Bill : People say that s my forte .
Wyatt : [ Scoffs ] Liam cut Steffy off completely , and me , too , apparently ! He -- he knows we re getting married .
Bill : Look , just ask him . Let him turn you down if that s what he feels he has to do . I will stand up for you if he wo nt .
Wyatt : Is this some kind of eat your vegetables strategy ? You think groveling to the man that my fiancée picked first is gon na be good for me ?
Bill : I m looking out for what s good for me .
Wyatt : Ugh .
Bill : How many years have you accused me of showing favoritism toward your brother ? Well , I do nt want Liam to be able to come to me and say that I favored you in this situation with Steffy ...

Caroline : [ Laughs ]
Wyatt : Oh , come on !
Bill : What s wrong ?
Wyatt : Damn it !
Bill : What ?
Wyatt : [ Groans ]
Bill : What -- what are you doing ?
Wyatt : Losing a bet .
Bill : What ?
Wyatt : Yes . I was so sure that you were gon na say yes to being my best man . But , apparently , Steffy got her maid of honor first , so now I owe her ...
Wyatt : ... A shirtless selfie .
Bill : Oh . Wow . Well , that -- that sucks . Oh , and , by the way ... yes .
Wyatt : What do you mean , Yes ? Yes , you re gon na be my best man , after all that ?
Bill : That is the question on the table , is nt it ?
Wyatt : You just want to be able to say that you said no when Liam shows up . Am I right ? Hmm ? Yeah . No , Liam . Do nt worry about it . Wyatt had to beg me . I had to say yes . I had no choice .
Bill : Well , I really do nt talk that way .
Wyatt : Yes , you do .
Bill : Come over here . Let me give you a hug . I m happy for you , and I m proud of you .
Wyatt : Thanks .
Bill : I m honored to be your best man .

Steffy : [ Laughs ] Okay . Please tell me that Dad never --

Ridge : Okay . Thank you . Thank you so much . All right . You re getting a houseful of flowers as a wedding gift . That s all you left me time for .
Steffy : Thank you ! No , thanks , Dad !
Ridge : You re welcome . Where s the guest list ?
Steffy : In my head .
Ridge : Is Liam on it ? Think he should be on it ?
Liam : What did the real - estate agent say ?
Quinn : That we ll probably lose money if we sell , that I did nt hold on -- uh , we did nt hold on -- to the place long enough .
Liam : We do nt have to move .
Quinn : [ Sighs ] Adam , please , let s not argue . We do nt argue . I always just give in . I thought you said you did nt know where you left those . You seem to be getting better at finding things you re looking for .
Katie : Where did you get that ?
Brooke : When you re hiding something , people who know you , people who love you , can tell .
Katie : So , did Bill send you ? Did you talk to him ? Is that why you re here ?
Brooke : He knows that something s not right .
Katie : And that s what he thinks ? He thinks that I m drinking ?

Bill : Good . Well , I just wanted to give you the breaking news , and I ll give you the details later . I got to go . I love you .
Katie : Love you , too .
Brooke : Nothing is fine , Katie !
Katie : You ca nt tell him , Brooke .
Brooke : Well , then , you have to tell him ! You ca nt keep cutting him off like this . Yes , you re struggling , but it s not a crime .
Katie : I made a mistake , okay ? It wo nt happen again .
Brooke : [ Sighs ] That s what all alcoholics say .
Katie : [ Laughs ]
Brooke : Look , I know you do nt want to believe this , but the best thing to do is to tell him the truth .
Katie : I told Bill that I was nt drinking . If it was nt true then , it is now .
Brooke : Katie , you re isolating yourself , and you do nt even see it ! I did the same thing when I was drinking .
Katie : You ca nt tell him . Okay ? I feel so alone ... when he does nt trust me . You ca nt say anything .
Liam : I remembered where I put them . There s hope for me yet .

Liam : Me .
Quinn : You know I would do anything for you , do nt you ? I m gon na go make us some lunch .
Steffy : Liam knows we re getting married , and , no , he s not invited .
Ridge : Why not ?
Steffy : Did you invite Mom when you married Brooke ? Anyways , he s not interested .
Ridge : There were a lot of years when he was interested .
Steffy : And that went away . That s what they tell me .
Thomas : Maybe you should wait .
Steffy : For ?
Caroline : Okay . Let s get you home , little man . [ Gasps ]
Wyatt : Hi . So , mission accomplished ?
Steffy : Yes .
Wyatt : Yeah ?
Steffy : Person of honor .
Wyatt : Ah ! That s amazing ! That s gon na be the perfect matched set to my person of dishonor , aka Bill Spencer .
Ridge : Congratulations .
Wyatt : Thank you .
Ridge : So , why the hurry ? It almost seems like you think someone s gon na stop you if you do nt tie the knot right away .
Wyatt : W-- okay . That s not how I operate .
Ridge : That s exactly how you operated with Hope .
Wyatt : Okay . There s a lot of water under that bridge since then . Steffy and I have both been in love before and both been abandoned , and that can feel like losing or rejection or whatever you want to call it , until you realize that the real winners are the ones that keep their promises . And I intend to do that . I love your daughter , Ridge . And I got a lot of promises to her that I just -- I ca nt wait to keep .
Steffy : Marry me . Marry me . Marry me .

Dr. Raynor : You two have been through so much these past few months . And so has mackenzie .
Sarah : I know it usually takes a week or two for the bone marrow engraftment to begin . And I know it s probably too early to expect mickey s blood tests to show any improvements .
Eric : So what did you want to talk to us about ?
Dr. Raynor : I told you , I ca nt keep that secret . And there s nothing you can do or say to make me--
Xander : Change your mind . Maybe this will help . Look . Look at all those zeroes . And while you re looking at them , think about who you re dealing with because whatever nicole told you about me , I m tom hanks compared to victor kiriakis .
Dr. Raynor : I have some unexpected news for you about mackenzie .
Male announcer : Like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives .

Sonny : That s a load of crap .
Evan : Is it , sonny ? I had a gun to my head , literally and figuratively . What was I supposed to do ?
Sonny : I ca nt believe this is happening . What does this mean ? Are they gon na let him go ?
Sarah : What is it , amanda ? What did you want to tell us ?
Dr. Raynor : I have good news . Mackenzie s tests show that her white blood cell count is starting to rise .
Sarah : [ Laughs ] Already ?
Dr. Raynor : As you know , it s rare to see such encouraging results so soon .
Eric : What does this mean ?
Sarah : It means that it s working , that her bone marrow is producing new blood cells .
Eric : So her transplant was a success ?
Sarah : Yes , it s -- her bone marrow has already started engrafting . And this is just -- this is everything that we ve been hoping for ! It s more than we ve been hoping for . Amanda , thank you ! Oh , my gosh , thank you so much for everything .
Dr. Raynor : You do nt have to thank me .
Sarah : Oh , gosh , yes , I do . Yes , I do . I mean , you have been there for us day and night and--
Eric : Thank you for saving our daughter s life .
Nicole : I assume dr . Raynor wants to update eric and sarah on mackenzie s condition . She is the baby s doctor , after all .
Xander : I m gon na find out .
Nicole : Hey . I just said she wants to speak to them privately .
Xander : Why ? What s the big secret ?
Nicole : There is no secret . You re just not one of the parents . What s going on with you ?
Xander : Me ?
Nicole : Why you acting so nervous ? Does this have something to do with the argument I saw between you and dr . Raynor earlier ?
Xander : It was nt an argument .
Nicole : Oh , it was nt ? Well , it certainly seemed like an argument .
Xander : As I said , I was just trying to make sure that mackenzie is getting the best possible care .
Nicole : Yeah , I know what you told me . But I heard her say something about a secret .
Xander : What ?
Nicole : I did nt say anything before , but I know what I heard .
Xander : Did you ask her about it ?
Nicole : She said she was referring to doctor - patient confidentiality .
Xander : Well then , there s your answer .
Nicole : Mmm , except she was sweating bullets . And I m pretty good at spotting when someone is lying to me , like the way you are lying to me right now .
Xander : I do nt know what to tell you , nicole .
Nicole : Well , you better figure it out , because I m staying right here until you tell me what s really going on . So yeah , depression .
Rafe : Even without the confession , I doubt the judge would let evan walk . Dna evidence--
Evan : Is totally circumstantial .
Rafe : Ben weston was convicted on circumstantial evidence .
Sonny : So the charges against evan have nt been dropped .
Evan : Not yet . My lawyer is in court as we speak arguing that they should be . I m optimistic the judge will do the right thing .
Sonny : The right thing is that you should go to prison for the rest of your life .
Evan : You do nt mean that , sonny . Not after everything we ve meant to each other .
Sonny : Are you kidding me ? You son of a bitch . You think you re gon na get away with this ? You re not gon na get away with this .
Evan : I m so sorry .
Sonny : What if they set him free ? We re not gon na let that happen !
Rafe : Why do nt you go outside and cool down ?
Sonny : What about him ?
Evan : I m plenty cool .
Rafe : He s not going anywhere just yet , all right ?
Sonny : Fine . I ll go wait in the hallway .
Evan : Hey , sonny , hold on . I just want you to know . I still care about you . And I always will .
Victor : I take it you and sonny are calling off the divorce .
Will : Yes , indeed . Disappointed ?
Victor : I have no animus for you , will .
Will : Except for the whole allowing - me - to - rot - in- prison - for - the - rest - of - my- life - for - a - crime- I - didnt - commit thing .
Victor : That was nt personal . I was protecting maggie .
Will : Well , I guess it was all for nothing though , was nt it ? Because maggie ended up remembering what she did on her own anyway .
Victor : She should have kept it to herself . I could have protected her .
Will : [ Sighs ] Victor , you need to understand that just because I was willing to keep quiet for maggie does not mean that I forgive you for what you did . I spent the better part of a year in there , separated from my daughter and my husband . But worse than that was the oppressive crushing guilt that I felt because I thought I had killed my husband s mother . Can you understand that ? Do you feel any guilt ?
Victor : I have no regrets for what I did .
Will : Well , maybe you should because while I was in prison , sonny shacked up with a murderer .
Victor : And you think sonny s relationship with evan was my fault ?
Will : I think what you and xander did had consequences , not just for sonny and me but for a lot of people in this town . And the effects of that are gon na be felt for a long time , victor .
Dr. Raynor : This is very good news . And you should celebrate . But remember , this is only mackenzie s first step in a very long road to recovery .
Sarah : Of course .
Eric : We re just thrilled that the procedure was successful .
Dr. Raynor : This is the toughest little girl I ve ever seen .
Eric : Yeah , well , she takes after her mother .
Dr. Raynor : I m sure she does . Well , I will leave you two alone with your-- with mickey .
Sarah : Thank you again . Thank you so , so much .
Eric : [ Sighs ] Does this mean what I think it means ?
Sarah : [ Laughs ] If it s like she said , we do-- we still have a long road ahead of us , but ... this is the first time in months that I ve had faith and I really believe that our little girl is gon na live .
Brady : Where did you get this ?
Kristen : I requested a copy , and it arrived today .
Brady : Why would you want rachel s death certificate ?
Kristen : Because . Because I have never seen it , and I needed to . It s not supposed to be this way , is it ?
Brady : Like what ?
Kristen : You know , all this pain just all the time . You know , the feeling of loss . It s worse instead of better . And I keep trying to figure out why . And I --I really think it s because of mackenzie . I do .
Brady : What do you mean , mackenzie ?
Kristen : Well , being at the hospital , knowing that she is fighting for her life , just like rachel did . And I keep having that same dream .
Brady : The dream where you were in the hospital and you were looking for rachel and you ca nt find her ?
Kristen : Yeah , yeah . And I mean , for the first few months after her death , I had a dream that I was-- I was holding her in my arms and I was playing with her . And now the dream has changed , and ... [ Sighs ] She s not in my arms . I m not holding her . She s gone . She s gone , brady . You know , and I know that I am blessed that I got to hold her for those few precious moments . I am . But that memory , it s just-- it s just fading away little by little . And I am starting-- I m starting to forget her . And that s why this is so important because it ... reminds me .
Brady : Kristen , kristen , this is a piece of paper .
Kristen : No .
Brady : That s all it is .
Kristen : No , no , no , no . Brady , it s not . This is proof that she was here .
Brady : Hey .
Kristen : I just -- I just wish I could go back to that night , you know , hold onto it , savor the minute-- we never got a picture . We never got a picture of her , brady . We never got that little footprint or a lock of her hair . And she s my-- my own precious daughter . And I -- for the life of me , I do nt remember my baby s face . I mean , it is clear that god never wanted me to be a mother . I mean , what kind of a mother would I be if I ca nt even remember my own child , brady ?
Brady : No , no , no , no , stop . Do nt do that .
Kristen : [ Sobs ]
Xander : Stop interrogating me . I have nt done anything wrong .
Nicole : Did you know that dr . Raynor delivered kristen and brady s baby ?
Xander : Yes , I did know that . And their baby died . So why would anyone trust her with their child ?
Nicole : Kristen does nt blame dr . Raynor .
Xander : As I said , I m just trying to make sure that mackenzie gets the best possible care . And it s clear to me that raynor is nt capable of providing it . So if you ll excuse me-- dr . Raynor , can I just have a word ?
Dr. Raynor : I m late for rounds .
Xander : And nicole was just telling me that you had some news for eric and sarah about mackenzie .
Dr. Raynor : I did . I ca nt get into specifics with you . All I can say is that it was good news .
Nicole : That s incredible . Sarah and eric must be so relieved .
Dr. Raynor : They are . As I said , I have to go .
Nicole : Oh , thank god . This is great .
Xander : Yeah , yes , it is . And I have to go too .
Nicole : Something very strange is going on here . Oh , oh , oh , ozempic ® !
Eric : Look at her . Even after everything she s going through , you ca nt stop her from putting her foot in her mouth .
Sarah : Boy , she really is like her mom in more ways than one .
Eric : You know , I should go and update nicole on the results . I m sure she s worrying .
Sarah : Of course .
Eric : Our little girl is gon na be okay .
Sarah : [ Clears throat ] Well , I guess it s just me and you , kiddo . Precious little mickey . You know , on the night that you were born , I counted all of your toes , all your fingers . And I just thought it was a miracle that you were so perfect . I was so afraid after that accident . It really was a terrible night , mickey . My mom , for adrienne and will , haley , and for brady and kristen because they lost their little girl . But it was also the best night of my life because now I have you . And I am never letting you go .
Victor : You and sonny are young . You re in love . You ll be fine . This could ruin maggie s life .
Will : I understand wanting to protect maggie from the knowledge that she caused adrienne s death . But she s dealing with it .
Victor : Dealing with it ? She s determined to go to prison for her crime .
Will : And I understand that guilt , believing that you deserve to suffer .
Victor : Why ? What good would it do ? Wo nt bring adrienne back . It s not what sonny wants . It s not what justin wants .
Will : Well , maybe they can convince the judge then to be--
Victor : What if they ca nt convince her ? Maggie has to decide that she wants to fight for her life .
Will : I understand , but they are adrienne s closest family . And if they re --
Victor : Do nt you understand ? This is not just about adrienne .
Will : Then what is it about ? You may not see them , but your itchy eyes know
Victor : Well , what I meant was adrienne was not the only person in that car that night . You said , it affected a lot of people . And you and sonny and--
Will : Speaking of sonny -- hey .
Sonny : You need to come down to the police station .
Will : Why ? What s going on ?
Sonny : I ll tell you when you get here , but you re not gon na be happy about it .
Nicole : Her blood count is actually up ? I thought it was gon na take weeks .
Eric : So did we .
Nicole : That s amazing . I m so happy for you .
Eric : Thank you . We still have a long way to go , but these blood tests could nt have been any better .
Nicole : Thank god . Things are finally looking up for you .
Eric : Yeah .
Nicole : Listen , I do nt mean to sound greedy , but any news about your mom ?
Eric : No , not yet . Rolf refuses to give stefano up .
Nicole : Is there anything I can do for you ? Phone calls I can make ? I know you do nt want to leave mackenzie s side .
Eric : I wish there were something to do . I keep calling john whenever I can . They re doing their best to try to find her . But so far , they ve hit a wall .
Nicole : Well , they re gon na find her . They are . I know it . Your luck is turning around .
Eric : Oh , I hope you re right . I mean , it s just been one thing after another . But you know what I can say ? You have been amazingly supportive . It just means a lot to know that I can count on you .
Nicole : Always .
Eric : But I am surprised that xander is not around here , and he s usually , like hovering .
Nicole : He just left . Ran out of here like a bat out of hell .
Eric : How come ?
Nicole : I wish I knew .
Will : Xander .
Xander : What s wrong ?
Victor : That was close .
Xander : What was close ?
Victor : I was so on edge about dr . Raynor s pangs of conscience I almost said something to will that would have given away the whole thing .
Xander : Do I have to worry about you though ?
Victor : I ll be fine . As long as we re sure that quack has been taken care of .
Xander : Well ...
Victor : Well , what ?
Kristen : What-- what are you doing ?
Brady : I m gon na help you remember , and we re gon na keep those memories fresh . It s called consciously remembering . That s what marlena calls it . She used to try it on me because I would lose my baseball glove all the time and it works .
Kristen : Consciously remembering .
Brady : Yeah .
Kristen : Is it something she learned from gwyneth paltrow or something ? [ Laughs ]
Brady : No , no . It -- it works . I want you to trust me . Here , sit here . Go ahead . Okay ? I want you to close your eyes .
Kristen : Really ?
Brady : Mm - hmm . I m gon na close mine too , and we re gonna -- we re gon na go to that moment together , okay ?
Kristen : Okay .
Brady : Trust me . Okay ?
Kristen : Okay .
Brady : You re in the hospital , you re in bed . And you ve just given birth . Dr. Raynor , she has just placed that beautiful little baby in your arms and she told us that she s gon na give us a few minutes with her . You re holding her . Do you remember ?
Kristen : Yeah , I do .
Brady : Okay , okay . How do you feel ?
Kristen : Um , tired .
Brady : She s right there . Go ahead and take a look down at that little girl in your arms .
Kristen : I see her . I do . I see her in my arms . [ Laughs ]
Brady : That s good . That s good .
Kristen : She s so tiny . Oh , god . I do nt ever wanna let her go , brady .
Brady : I know , I know .
Kristen : Oh , no .
Brady : No ? What s wrong ?
Kristen : No , no , haley-- haley s there and she s gon na take her away , and I m never gon na see her again . I cant--
Brady : No , no , no . Listen . Listen , listen , listen to my voice . Freeze it . Stay in the moment . She s in your arms .
Kristen : Okay .
Brady : She s right there . How you feeling ?
Kristen : Oh . She s so light . And they bathed her and so she smells like soap .
Brady : Mmm , I love that .
Kristen : [ Laughs ]
Brady : What else ?
Kristen : Oh , her skin . Her skin is so soft . It s like a flower petal . And her lips , her lips -- oh , my god . They re just all pursed .
Brady : Her eyes . Do you see her eyes at all ?
Kristen : I do . I do . They re -- they re blue and they re gray . Oh , they re just too big for her face .
Brady : Of course they are . They re supposed to be . Is there anything else ? Anything else you remember about the way she looks ?
Kristen : Oh , my god . Yes , yes . On her neck -- on her neck , just below her chin , there s a mark .
Brady : Like a birthmark ?
Kristen : Yeah . Oh . And it s the shape of a heart , brady .
Sarah : There s that heart - shaped little birthmark of yours . It s like god put it there just to remind you how loved you are . [ Baby cooing ] Yes .
Eric : Hey . I hope I m not interrupting .
Sarah : Oh , no . We re just having a little girl chat .
Eric : Yeah , well , carry on .
Sarah : Do you hear that , mickey ? You hear how kind your daddy is ? And you know what ? He loves you so much . Yes , you re very lucky to have him .
Eric : [ Chuckles ] No . I m the lucky one .
Sarah : You know what s so funny ? When you were born , I did nt even notice that little birthmark of yours just with everything going on-- it s probably why when xander brought you back to me , I thought that you could nt possibly be the same baby .
Eric : You never told me that .
Sarah : What ? No , cause it does nt make any sense . I mean , obviously , she s ours . I just , you know -- you had that birthmark all along , did nt you ? Mommy was just too tired to notice it . Yeah . [ Laughs ] Yeah .
Victor : Has the situation with the doctor been taken care of or not ?
Xander : Raynor took the money like I told you . And I made myself very clear that she has to leave town . But I just saw her at the hospital .
Victor : She s still in salem ?
Xander : Could nt confront her with nicole right there . And then she just took off on me .
Victor : Oh . She could ruin everything . You know , if the truth comes out , it s not just maggie that goes down . We do too .
Xander : You think this is news to me ?
Victor : You re not sounding like someone who s appreciative of the severity of the situation . Do you want her to find out that s not her baby ?
Xander : Of course not .
Victor : Well , then get back down to the hospital and forget about mr . Nice guy . Be the devious bastard that you are and take care of the situation with the doctor once and for all .
Will : Evan s confession was tossed ? They ca nt use it ?
Sonny : Looks that way .
Will : So what -- does that mean he s going to walk ?
Sonny : Evan s lawyer is trying to get his case thrown out , right , and the judge is deliberating . So we just have to hope that the dna evidence is enough .
Will : Yeah , but that just proves he was there , not that he killed jordan . Oh , my god .
Sonny : What is it ?
Will : They stopped ben s execution based on evan s confession . I was just with him . He s expecting to get released any moment . I mean , does this mean he s not getting out ?
Kristen : It worked . [ Laughs ] It really worked . I was there . And I was holding rachel in my arms-- the perfect moment .
Brady : I m glad .
Kristen : Brady , thank you . Thank you for giving me that sweet , sweet memory back .
Brady : Come here .
Nicole : [ Clears throat ]
Kristen : What are you doing here ?
Nicole : Oh , cute . I work here , remember ? Making a mess .
Kristen : Would you excuse me ? Let me go to the ladies room .
Brady : Okay .
Nicole : Was it something I said ?
Brady : Is there any update on mackenzie ?
Nicole : [ Gasps ] Yes ! As a matter of fact , her blood count is way up . The bone marrow transplant worked .
Brady : Oh , that s great . That s great . Eric and sarah must be so happy about that .
Nicole : Yeah , they are . It s a miracle .
Brady : Ah .
Nicole : I know I m gon na regret asking this , but what s up with kristen ?
Brady : The memories of our daughter were becoming more and more distant for her and she was afraid that she was going to lose them completely . I mean , nicole , she only got to hold rachel for a couple minutes after she was born .
Nicole : Well , at least she did get to be with her .
Brady : I know , and then we get to hold on to that , but I was helping her relive those minutes and make her remember . And I was really surprised at what we were able to recall about our little girl in that short amount of time . I mean , her mouth , her eyes-- she even remembered that rachel had a very faint heart - shaped birthmark on her neck .
Xander : Hello , doctor .
Dr. Raynor : I realized I had left something in a patient s room .
Xander : It ll have to wait . We re gon na stop here for a minute . [ Elevator thunks ] You re not going anywhere . I did nt choose this exact type
Sonny : I thought this nightmare was finally over . If evan skates--
Will : You know what ? It s gon na be okay . It s gon na be okay . Ben s still getting out . And , you know , we ll be all right too .
Sonny : How do you figure ?
Will : Because no matter what happens in that courtroom , evan ca nt touch us . And he would be an idiot to try .
Sonny : I just -- I ca nt believe that I would ever fall for a guy like that . Will , I m so sorry . I m so sorry .
Will : Hey , stop . Again , you have nothing to apologize for . We re together now . That s all that matters .
Rafe : Hey , guys . Sorry to interrupt , but the judge has made a decision about evan .
Nicole : It s hard to muster sympathy given what kristen did to me , but I would never wish the loss of a child on anyone .
Brady : And I appreciate that . I do . She s actually-- she s been gone for a while . I m gon na go check on her .
Nicole : Okay .
Sarah : She s finally asleep .
Eric : She looks so peaceful . It s like she knows we got good news .
Sarah : I m gon na go see if xander s in the hallway .
Eric : Sarah , nicole said that he was here not long ago , but he kind of took off in a hurry .
Sarah : Huh . He s been so devoted to mickey . He s barely left the hospital . I mean , I would nt expect him to just--
Eric : What ?
Sarah : I m sorry . I know xander is still kind of a sore subject for you . I just -- I really want you to know that the decision to keep mickey s paternity from you was mine alone . Xander had nothing to do with it .
Eric : Yeah , well , I m sure he worked really hard to try to change your mind .
Sarah : The bottom line is I made a wrong decision , okay ? So please do nt hold xander responsible for it or nicole .
Eric : I -- I forgave nicole .
Sarah : I m glad . I m -- I am so sorry for the way things happened . But I am not sorry for how things turned out because you have nicole . And I have xander . And most importantly , we have our daughter .
Dr. Raynor : What do you want from me now ?
Xander : You took that money . I thought we had an arrangement that you would leave salem immediately .
Dr. Raynor : [ Scoffs ] I ca nt just pick up and move . I have patients . I m still in the middle of mackenzie s case .
Xander : The transplant is finished . You said she s fine . Ca nt some other doctor take over her care ?
Dr. Raynor : Yes , of course , but I need a few days . Maybe a week .
Xander : You should know there have been discussions about a more permanent solution .
Dr. Raynor : You mean--
Xander : I m the one who s been advocating for your safety . But as you re aware , victor kiriakis is a very dangerous man . So if you do nt do the right thing , I ll have no choice but to find some other way to compel your silence .
Rafe : The judge has declined to drop the charges against evan .
Sonny : Thank god . That s awesome .
Will : That s great .
Rafe : Yeah , but hold on . It s a bit more complicated than that .
Sonny : How did I know it would be ?
Will : Why ? What is it ?
Evan : Guess who just made bail ?
Sarah : Xander , it s me . Where are you ? You just -- call me back when you get this message ? So weird .
Eric : Maybe he s in a meeting with titan .
Sarah : Maybe . I m gon na go track him down . I want to tell him the good news . Are you okay to stay ?
Eric : We re fine , go . I ll see you later .
Sarah : Thank you .
Eric : Oh , my sweet little angel , it s just you and me . You know , I know I missed the first six months of your life , but I promise you . I m not gon na miss another minute anymore .
Brady : I sent shirley into the ladies room to look for kristen , and she s not there . Where d she go ?
Eric : I promise you . I m going to be right here by your side , always . So is your mommy .
Dr. Raynor : What are you saying ?
Xander : I m saying , you should take your money and run or you wo nt be running anywhere ever again .

### Dialogue:
Hope : I know you would nt have married Steffy if you did nt love her . And losing a child does nt change that .
Liam : [ Sighs ]
Hope : But , Liam , Steffy is planning on getting pregnant again right away . That s how you ended up with her in the first place . It does nt have to happen that way again .
Steffy : You told Hope to stay away .
Taylor : Do nt worry about Hope . I want you to concentrate on yourself and Liam .
Steffy : I want to give him another baby . Not that I ll ever make up for the child that we lost .
Taylor : Sweetheart , stop blaming yourself .
Steffy : Mom , when Hope hears that we re trying again --
Taylor : She already knows . And she already believes that you re doing it as just another way to cling to Liam .
Steffy : Of course she thinks that .
Taylor : But we know that s not what it s about . It s about healing . For both of you . And Liam knows that . He wants to try again , too .
Brooke : Dinner is ordered . I hope Eric still loves Emilio s veal saltimbocca . [ Chuckles ]
Donna : What are you thinking , Brooke ?
Brooke : The clock is ticking . I have to protect Katie . She can never find out that I am pregnant with Bill s child .
Donna : Well , you still have nt told me how Rick and Bridget fit into this .
Bridget : How Bridget fits into what ?
Brooke : Oh ! Honey ! Oh , you re here !
Bridget : Hi , Mom !
Brooke : Hi ! Ohh !
Bridget : Hey , Donna ! Wow ! That is some greeting .
Brooke : Well , I m just so happy to see you .
Bridget : Aww !
Brooke : And your timing could nt be more perfect .
Bridget : Oh , are you sure you ca nt stay ? Mom could just set another plate for you .
Donna : Oh , why , as much as I d love to , I think Brooke has other plans .
Bridget : Oh . Well , what s going on , Mom ?
Brooke : I just want my beautiful daughter all to myself .
Bridget : Oh . I thought Rick and dad were joining us ?
Rick : Well , Rick is .
Bridget : [ Squeals ]
Rick : I m not so sure about dad . Hey , Budge .
Bridget : Oh , how is my favorite brother ? Ohh !
Rick : [ Laughs ] I m good . I m good . Just curious about this spur - of - the - moment family powwow .
Brooke : [ Chuckles ]
Bridget : Okay , out with it , Mom . What is this all about ?
Donna : My cue to leave . Bye - bye , everybody .
Bridget : Bye . Love you .
Brooke : See you soon .
Donna : See you .
Steffy : Wearing black on my wedding day .
Taylor : Wearing black on your wedding day was nt an omen , honey , any more than arriving on your motorcycle was tempting fate . Sweetheart ... [ Sighs ] You were just being yourself . You understand that , do nt you ?
Liam : Steffy s going through such a dark time right now .
Hope : And you ll be there for her . As you should be . She needs you right now , and that s the kind of man you are . But if Steffy had her way , she would plan on getting pregnant again tomorrow . Is that really what you want ? If it were possible to turn the clock back ... if we could ... would you want to ?
Hope : Forget I asked that . I m -- I m sorry . It s too -- it s too soon . I m sorry .
Liam : No . [ Sighs ] There s just so much to sort out . I mean , I was ... all about becoming a new dad , you know ? [ Sighs ]
Hope : Steffy does nt want to waste any time giving you another child . It s not because she s always wanted a family . That s -- that s not Steffy . It s because she s afraid she might lose you . And , I mean , I do nt blame her . I would do the same thing , but not for the same reason . I would nt trap you like that . It d be because I know you have so much love to give to a little baby .
Liam : It s funny . There s so much I ca nt say to Steffy right now . I do nt know . It s -- it s nice . It s , um ... it s really nice having you . [ Sighs ]
Taylor : You know , there s not a whole lot in the fridge , so if you re not going to eat this soup , I ll run to the market and pick you up whatever you want . Or I could call Liam and ask him to pick something up on the way back . Did he say how long he d be gone ?
Steffy : No . Why did I get on the bike ? [ Voice breaking ] Why did nt I listen to him ?
Taylor : Oh , sweetheart .
Steffy : I cost him his baby . He should be as mad at me as I am with myself .
Taylor : Honey , he loves you . He knows you would have never wanted this to happen .
Steffy : But it did happen ! It did ! I got on the bike without thinking because I was being impulsive like always , Mom !
Taylor : Sweetie .
Steffy : [ Crying ]
Taylor : [ Crying ] Do nt .
Steffy : I wanted -- [ Sniffles ] I wanted that baby so much .
Taylor : I know . I know .
Steffy : [ Sniffles ] I wanted to have Liam s child .
Eric : I ca nt see you right now because I m hugging you , but I know it s nice , and you re so much taller . Oh , that s the shoes . Tell me it s the shoes . Right ?
Bridget : It s the shoes , Daddy .
Eric : Why did nt you tell us you were flying in ?
Bridget : I m sorry . It just -- it all happened so quickly .
Rick : Budge s life -- brilliant in - demand doctor , jet - setting from coast to coast .
Eric : I know . There s something I want to talk to you about . What is this bicoastal practice of yours ? How practical is that ?
Bridget : It s working right now , actually . I mean , it s not gon na be forever . I promise . But for now , it s --
Brooke : For now we re just happy that you re here with us .
Bridget : Aww .
Brooke : It s been way too long since we ve had a family dinner like this .
Rick : Which explains the menu -- all of dad s favorites .
Brooke : Well , of course . I ordered from Emilio s .
Bridget : My favorite , too .
Brooke : Practically a nightly ritual when your father and I were first married .
Rick : Okay , wait a minute . You mean mom did nt slave over a hot stove ?
Eric : No , your mother -- your mother was nt exactly sure where the stove was .
Rick : Oh . [ Laughs ]
Brooke : Oh , my God .
Bridget : [ Laughing ] Mom . Okay , wait , Dad . Um ... you and Taylor ? Boy , that caught me off guard .
Eric : Yeah ?
Brooke : Uh , honey , I m sure your father will fill you in on that some other time , but tonight is our family s night .
Bridget : Okay . Sorry . I just -- this happened very quickly and ...
Eric : Yeah , that s okay . Taylor has become very , very important to me . More than some people realize or accept . I , um ... I would never want to do anything to hurt her or to cause her to lose faith in me .
Rick : I do nt think anyone s asking you to do that , Dad .
Bridget : Are -- [ Laughs ] Are we missing something here ?
Bridget : We ca nt do it in this , but , I mean , at some point , yeah .
Eric : It s crunchy , crunchy bread like that .
Bridget : It s good , though , ? Dad .
Eric : I know it is .
Bridget : Champagne ? Really ?
Brooke : Mm - hmm . Not often are we together like this , the four of us , so I wanted tonight to be memorable . No , none for me , thank you . I m bubbly enough , having all of you here with me tonight .
Eric : Well , um , Bridget , tell us about -- catch us up ! Tell us about yourself . Come on . The job ? My little grandson ?
Rick : Your love life ?
Bridget : Um ... well , Logan is thriving . I ca nt wait for you guys to see him . He s so , so precious . And Jackie and Owen are really , really good with him . They re wonderful .
Eric : And they live in the adjoining or adjacent -- which is it ?
Bridget : Adjoining apartment . And , I know , Dad , it s a little unique , but it works for us , cause if I m at the hospital late or I have to fly to the opposite coast , Logan gets to be with --
Brooke : Gets to be with his dad and his stepmom . It s great .
Eric : Being spoiled rotten , I m sure .
Bridget : Okay , maybe a little , but it s really -- honestly , it s about putting Logan s needs first . It s the way that you and mom were for Rick and me .
Brooke : Yes , Eric is a wonderful father . And husband . I was so lucky to be married to him .
Rick : Hey . Now , there s an idea , huh ? You re both single . Why not ? Tie the knot again . Hmm ?
Brooke : Mm .
Taylor : Honey , you have nt really touched your tea . I can heat you up a little bit more water if you want . Sweetie .
Steffy : We ll never forget the baby we lost . But having another child ... Liam and I , we need something wonderful to look forward to .
Taylor : I just want you to understand . Getting pregnant right away is not going to make all the pain go away .
Steffy : But it would help .
Taylor : You know something ? I think what would help you is we ll get a little memento box . [ Voice breaking ] And we ll put all the things that you bought the baby ... in there . We ll make it , like , a ... a ceremonial tribute . And , um ... then you put the box away . And you keep all the memories .
Steffy : [ Sniffles ]
Taylor : And , honey , you have to be able to let it go .
Steffy : [ Sniffles ]
Taylor : You have to forgive yourself , baby . You got to . Or it s just going to paralyze you .
Liam : [ Chuckles ] I , uh ... I got to go . I got to get back . She -- Steffy should nt be alone .
Hope : Oh , I doubt she is . I m sure Taylor rushed right over there to tell her that she warned me to stay away from you .
Liam : Yeah , well , you know , she s being protective .
Hope : Oh , I - I - I totally get it . My mom would have done the same thing .
Liam : [ Chuckles ] Yeah .
Hope : Except my mom -- my mom would nt have let me get on a motorcycle while I was pregnant . But Steffy is spontaneous . She s impulsive .
Liam : Well , you can be impulsive .
Hope : Yeah . But that s not what drew you to me . You said that I made you a better person . And that you admired my goals and my values . And that s the kind of thing you build a marriage on . A life , a future .
Liam : [ Chuckling ] Yeah .
Hope : Steffy s going through the unthinkable right now . You both are . And I know that you love her . But , Liam , the reason that you married her ... it s gone now . And I m -- I m so , so sorry . I m sorry . You told me once that you will always love me , and I know that s true . Liam , you ll get Steffy through this . But just know that you can still choose to have the life that you want . I love you .
Liam : [ Sighs ]
Brooke : Emilio s finishing the sauce for the veal . It should nt be much longer . What are you guys looking at ?
Eric : Gee , I wonder .
Bridget : Just these old scrapbooks of our family . I have nt seen these in ages .
Rick : Yeah , Mom , why are you dragging these out now ?
Eric : Yeah , why now , Brooke ?
Brooke : Oh , I -- I m feeling a little nostalgic . Having my children here , my husband .
Eric : Your ex - husband . Ex - husband .
Bridget : Not in these photos .
Eric : It s your wedding in Palm Springs .
Bridget : Mm - hmm . Yeah . Oh , and then did nt you -- you went to your honeymoon in a hot air balloon .
Brooke : We had a lot of good memories when we were together .
Eric : Yeah . Unfortunately , it was nt all champagne and hot air balloons .
Brooke : No , but what marriage is ? I mean , I was young and I had a lot of growing up to do . And you were very patient . And we adored our children more than anything . And now here you are . All of us together as a family . You have no idea how much this means to me .
Hope : [ Sighs ]
Singer : Come with me take my hand I ll lead you away
Both Hope & Liam : I love you .
Hope : [ Laughs ]
Singer : Days may come , but then they go we turn to see and then we grow you lay beside me as I sleep I m yours to keep I m yours to keep
Hope : [ Sighs ]
Singer : I m yours to keep
Steffy : [ Crying ]

### Dialogue:
David : Well , I ve already explained that , Reverend . Yes , Dorian and I want to have a large wedding . That s why we ve invited over 100 people . I m sorry -- did I call the church or the police station ? Because this feels like an interrogation . Because Dorian and I are very much in love , and she wants the entire world to know it .
Paul : I really appreciate you taking the time to look into my aunt s death .
Michael : No , it s not a problem .
Paul : So , what s it say in her file ? Any chance of foul play ?
Michael : You seem real eager to turn this death into a bad scene . You know , there s a real killer out there killing people why go looking for a crime when there is nt one ?
Nora : Hi . Can we have some privacy , please ?
Guard : Sure , Ms. Buchanan .
Nora : Thank you .
Troy : What s going on ?
Nora : I came to apologize .
Stephen : So good to see you , Natalie .
Natalie : Let go of me !
Stephen : I need to talk to you right now . If you do nt agree , you re going to suffer an awful lot of pain . So , please--
Stephen : Oh , that would be John calling his mother . I have her cell phone .
Natalie : How did you --
Stephen : Shh , shh . He s just figuring out that something is wrong . Very good . Good boy , Johnny .
Natalie : Listen to me . Listen , I have got to get on this plane !
Stephen : No , no , Natalie , Natalie , you need to listen to me . If you and John want to stay alive , you need to play along right now . It s all up to you .
Antonio : Hey , you ca nt blame yourself for trusting Haver . I mean , nothing you did or did nt do could ve stopped Haver from being a killer .
Jessica : Why ? Why did he know that I was the one that he could fool ?
Antonio : Because he s an expert in autosuggestion , all right ? Stop beating yourself up . Haver s done this before .
Jessica : Yeah , but even after everybody warned me -- everybody said , you know ? And he showed up here , and I just -- I let him in . What does that say about my instincts ?
Antonio : You know , it s not such a terrible thing wanting to see the best in people .
Jessica : Antonio , if I ca nt see a psychopath standing right in front of me like a Professor Haver or a Mitch Laurence , it s dangerous . And , you know , you really have to wonder -- is it that I just ca nt see depravity or I just do nt want to see it ?
John : Ok , please call me when she does . Mom was supposed to sing at the club in Atlantic City tonight . She never showed up .
Bo : Does she do that often ?
John : Never .
Bo : When s the last time you saw her ?
John : Couple days .
Bo : What about Michael ?
John : You know what ? I m already on it .
Michael : Hello ?
John : Yeah , it s me . Hey , when was the last time you were in touch with Mom ?
Michael : I had dinner with her the other night at Capricorn . Why ?
John : You heard from her since ?
Michael : No . Is something wrong ?
John : No , this -- this case is just driving me crazy , and I -- I owe her a phone call .
Michael : You sound stressed . Are you sure everything s ok ?
John : Yeah , I m fine . I ll talk to you later . Michael , take care of yourself .
Michael : You , too .
Paul : Look , I really liked dear , old Aunt Betsy . But first she got tricked into cutting me out of her will , and as soon as she leaves everything to Dorian s daughter , she winds up dead .
Michael : Ok . But she had a bad heart . Have you looked at her history ? I mean -- man , I m sure that all of her physicians told you that eventually her heart would give out on her , so it did .
Paul : But what caused it to happen just then ?
Michael : I do nt know . It could ve been any number of things -- a sudden scare , sudden excitement . Maybe it was just her time to go .
Paul : So no foul play ?
Michael : No . Not that I can see . I m sorry .
Stephen : Natalie , you ve made this too easy . Needing your husband s miraculous return from the dead so badly ? Shame . Shame .
Natalie : No , it s a miracle . I got a call from John s mother .
Stephen : No , John s mother -- from this phone -- from John s mother s phone ?
Natalie : She said that Cristian was trying to --
Stephen : To call John , yes , yes .
Natalie : Oh , no .
Stephen : It s ok , go ahead . You re home . You re there . You re almost there .
Natalie : Cristian -- Cristian s not really alive .
Stephen : No . No .
Rex : Hey . Drinking alone ?
Michael : What s it to you ?
Rex : Oh , just wondering if you re expecting Marcie .
Michael : Why ?
Rex : Because wherever Marcie shows up , sooner or later Jen is sure to follow .
Nora : I m not afraid of you anymore , Troy . If you re going to be released , good for you . I just really came here to apologize for blaming you for the things that you did nt do .
Troy : Yeah , Dr. Haver really set me up .
Nora : Yes , he did . He gave you passes from Statesville on the nights of the murder , he connected all the murders to me , he planted evidence in your cell .
Troy : Yeah .
Nora : All those murders , and you were innocent of every one of them .
Troy : Not Claire Baxter s . And I ll never forgive myself for Gabrielle . I set her up for him .
Nora : You did nt know what you were doing . You did nt know what you were doing . You were nt well .
Troy : No . No , I was nt . But even so , I m never going to escape the responsibility for those two deaths .
Stephen : I want to thank you for making this fun , Natalie . Now , are you ready to take a little trip ?
Dorian : So basically this is just an administrative job .
Dr. Long : Well like my own these days . But it can be very rewarding , even powerful .
Dorian : In what way ?
Dr. Long : Well , consider how it would use your talents . It demands a strong knowledge of medicine , which you have , a superior skill in dealing with people , where you shine .
Dorian : Thank you .
Dr. Long : You d be the glue that holds the staff , the board , and the community together . And with your position in Llanview society , you d be a genius at raising money and advising us how to put it to good use .
Dorian : I could do that , yes .
Dr. Long : Also , your friendship with Viki Davidson would be extremely valuable in making this a success .
Dorian : Um -- indeed . You know , I am very flattered that you would even consider me , and I will give it a great deal of consideration . But I have to let you know , my life is so full right now .
Dr. Long : Uh - huh .
Dorian : But I thank you . Thank you so very , very much .
Dr. Long : Oh , thank you .
Nora : You were extremely ill when you killed Claire Baxter , and you were under Haver s influence when you met with Gabrielle .
Troy : And when I kidnapped Matthew . Nora , I am so sorry .
Nora : I know . I know .
Troy : How s he doing ? Is he ok ?
Nora : He s fine . He really is . He s fine . He just -- he was confused , he was scared . He loves you .
Troy : Yeah . Yeah , I was confused , too . I just hope I can make it up to him someday .
Nora : You can . You can make it up to all of us . Just start forgiving yourself for things you could nt control , for people you could nt control .
Troy : Nora , are you happy ?
Dorian : I m so disappointed . A fundraising job ? It s probably just his way of trying to get a slice of Adriana s fortune .
David : Hmm .
Dorian : I was so hoping that he wanted me to be a medical doctor again .
David : Yeah , me , too . I sure like the sound of Dr. Dorian Vickers .
Dorian : David , I have nt married you yet .
David : Yeah , well , do nt turn into Dr. No . Is the job any good ?
Dorian : Well , it s mostly social , you know ? Viki s on the Board of Directors . Who wants to work with her on a regular basis ?
David : You know what I think ?
Dorian : Hmm ?
David : I think you should take it . If anyone can make a splash as the Director of Community Relations , baby , it s you .
Dorian : A splash ? ? You really think so ?
David : Oh , yeah . You ll be seen everywhere . You ll be a saint to the needy .
Dorian : Oh .
David : Social climbers are going to be tossing cash at you . They ll probably name a wing after you .
Dorian : You know , they might .
David : Yeah .
Dorian : And what s in it for you ?
David : The excitement ! You ve been -- you ve been like a missile without a target , so why not make it the hospital , huh ? I mean , it s got the prestige that you want . You re going to get to do it your way .
Dorian : Yes , I could do it my way .
David : And who knows what will happen next . You ll probably end up running the entire hospital .
Dorian : And what if it makes me too busy for a husband ?
David : I do want to marry you . But even more importantly , I want you to be happy , and if this job makes you happy and turns you on more than me , then so be it .
Bo : Eve ? Eve McBain ! It s Bo Buchanan ! Eve ?
Officer : Ca nt see a thing .
Bo : She s in the water somewhere . This pier -- this is where Haver was supposed to meet Jessica . That sick bastard . This is his idea of joke -- brings McBain s mother down here , ties her in at low tide . When the tide comes up , she drowns , just so he can say to John , she s in over her head .
Officer : You want a team of divers , sir ?
Bo : No . If we need divers , it s already too late . What is that ? Right over there . Hold the light up right there .
David : Hmm . I think there might be a wedding , after all .
Dorian : Oh , now , I would nt count on it .
David : Why not ?
Dorian : Because I m not going anywhere near a church unless you get a steady job .
David : You were nt serious about that .
Dorian : Yes , I was . If I can get a job , you can get a job .
David : So , where are you going , back to the hospital ?
Dorian : No , I m going to go shopping so I can decide about this job offer . I do nt know why I do my best thinking when I m shopping .
David : Idea -- I could be your agent . I could negotiate the deal with the hospital .
Dorian : Idea -- negotiate yourself a j - o - b , and maybe then I ll believe that you only want to marry me and not Aunt Betsy s 30 million .
Jessica : I just wish I knew what it was that turns normal human beings into a Professor Haver or a Mitch Laurence .
Antonio : Nobody knows .
Jessica : Yeah , but maybe if I just understood the sickness a little bit better , I could defend myself , you know ?
Antonio : Jess , I do nt want you to lose who you are . Ok , you re -- you re a warm , giving , open woman . This is who I fell in love with .
Jessica : Yeah , well , I m going to wise up one of these days .
Antonio : Yeah ? Well , tell you what , o wise one -- why not for tonight -- right now -- focus on something good ? Really good .
Jessica : Really , really good ?
Antonio : Really , really good .
Bo : Easy , easy . Get an ambulance ! Eve ? Eve ?
Bo : Eve , come on . Your boys want to see you .
Bo : Come on , Eve . Ok , ok , spit it out . Spit it -- it s ok , it s ok . Give me a jacket . Put it around her . It s all right . It s ok . It s ok .
Eve : Oh , Bo -- Bo !
Bo : It s all right , it s all right .
Eve : Where s Natalie ? Where s John ? Where s John ?
Bo : It s ok . It s going to be fine . It s going to be fine . Stay tuned for scenes from the next One Life To Live .
Todd : Are you finally admitting that I did nt do anything to you and you came to apologize ?
John : One of your victims is still alive . Oh , I m not talking about Flash .
Stephen : You re bluffing .
Kelly : He ca nt know about this .
Paul : He s going to be

### Dialogue:
Chelsea : [ Sighs ]
Nick : Paul will be here any minute .
Chelsea : Do you have any idea what this is about ? Why does he want to talk to us ? We already gave him our statement .
Nick : I do nt know . Maybe he has more questions for us .
Paul : Hi . Sorry to keep you waiting . Come on in . I just wanted to personally thank you for all your cooperation , and I also thought you might want to know that i received the official report on , uh , chloe s death from the medical examiner in louisiana .
Nick : Were there any surprises ?
Paul : No . Just confirmation . Chloe died from a prescription drug overdose , and her death was ruled a suicide . I am so sorry . I know how terribly difficult this has been for you . Kevin has made all the arrangements , and chloe s body has arrived at the funeral home .
Chelsea : Arrangements ?
Paul : She s going to be buried today .
Chelsea : The funeral is today ?
Sharon : So when the delivery comes , you just sign for it right here . And text me if you need me .
Scott : Hey .
Sharon : Hi . How are you ?
Scott : Pretty morose . But , uh , again , thank you for agreeing to come with me to the funeral .
Sharon : Sure . You know , chloe and I , we -- we got pretty close when we worked together .
Scott : You liked her ?
Sharon : Well , it was more that I understood her . You know , I had lost a daughter , too , and I also suffer from mental illness , not that that excuses what chloe did .
Scott : Yeah , well , do nt apologize for feeling empathy . It s a quality in short supply these days . That s why I was so surprised when victor actually showed real compassion for kevin yesterday .
Sharon : That is surprising .
Scott : Yeah .
Sharon : Victor shedding any forgiveness for the woman who killed his son ?
Scott : There s a whole other story there , but at least he was kind to kevin .
Sharon : How s he holding up ?
Scott : He s still in shock . You know , I m worried what will happen once that wears off .
Kevin : Yeah , I know that we went over this before . I just -- I just need to make sure that we have all of chloe s favorite flowers at the service . Great . Okay . Thank you .
Michael : Everything set ?
Kevin : Um , yeah . Just one last call to make . I need to check in with father todd .
Michael : I already did that , kevin . I told you .
Kevin : Oh . Right . Then I ll just , um ... uh , well , my list . I have -- I have a list here .
Michael : [ Clears throat ] Kevin .
Kevin : Yeah ?
Michael : I need to know that ...
Kevin : What ? That I m okay ? Uh , well , the last time I saw father todd , he was marrying chloe and me . And now I m organizing her funeral . I still ca nt believe she s gone . Bella s mother , the woman i loved more than anyone , so , no , mikey , I m not okay .
Hilary : Lily filled me in on what happened with the hockey league . I m just relieved that you were able to save the deal .
Victoria : Not as relieved as I am .
Hilary : I came by because i wanted to personally assure you that all of the footage of the hockey players and lily s appearance on my show has been completely destroyed .
Victoria : Oh , thank you .
Hilary : Since some responsibility of this fiasco falls on me , please know that i will find a way to make it up to you .
Victoria : Oh , look , i appreciate that , but the screw - up was on our end , and the appropriate steps have been taken . But thank you so much for stopping by .
Hilary : Yeah , any time . That s the hard part about being boss , is nt it , victoria ? Making those tough decisions .
Victoria : Well , I try to do what s best for the company .
Hilary : Yeah . No one can argue with that .
Billy : Uh , can I get a black coffee to go , please ? [ Sighs ] Juliet ?
Juliet : Good morning , billy .
Billy : Hey . How you , uh ... I mean , I have nt seen you since ...
Juliet : Since I was fired ?
Billy : Look , I want to apologize for my part in what happened in L.A.
Juliet : You do nt have to .
Billy : I know , but I would really like to , especially today . I really hate that you got nailed with this .
Juliet : Hmm . So do I.
Billy : You seem ...
Juliet : Over it ?
Billy : Yeah .
Juliet : Yeah , I am . Sure , I was upset at first , but the league made it a condition that victoria fire someone , and since I was the last one hired , that made me the logical choice . I do nt blame her . And I do nt blame you , either .
Lily : You know , it s really sweet that you took time to have breakfast with me , but obviously your mind s at the office .
Cane : Actually , I m thinking about chloe s funeral , which is today .
Lily : What ? There was no announcement . We should send flowers .
Cane : I already did from both of us . You okay ?
Lily : Yeah , I just was thinking that you were married to chloe .
Cane : [ Sighs ]
Lily : You know , because of her , we almost did nt have ... I m sad that she s gone , but I m really grateful for our life together .
Cane : Me , too . Me , too .
Lily : Should we go to the service ?
Cane : Uh , I called the funeral home . They said it was private , which is probably good for us considering we need to focus on work now that brash & sassy s in damage - control mode .
Lily : I really wish the league had nt insisted someone get fired for what was an honest mistake .
Cane : Yeah . Yeah , billy s the one who should have gone , though .
Lily : Well , that was victoria s decision to make .
Cane : And now she has , and juliet s gone . How about we just focus on ourselves and work and just put what s happened behind us ?
Lily : I really wish it were that simple , cane . Additional sponsorship
Michael : Lauren and I , we re gon na be with you every second . Scott , too . And even gloria .
Kevin : Well , if it ended there with you helping me get through the funeral , this would be a hell of a lot easier .
Michael : You worried about after ?
Kevin : Yeah . All those other people , the ones who are gon na look me in the eye , offer their condolences , secretly they re thinking that this is how it should have ended for chloe .
Michael : Nobody thinks that . Nobody is gon na think that .
Kevin : Michael , she was a murderer . That does nt stir up a lot of sympathy .
Michael : There s no sense in going back --
Kevin : In what ? Telling the truth ? You know I m right . This town is full of hypocrites , people who -- who condemn chloe as this ugly , vile person as if their lives are so perfect .
Lauren : Honey , people are always gon na be small - minded and judgmental . There s nothing we can do about that . But what we can do is remember what today is about , and that is honoring the woman that you truly loved and also showing your little girl that she s safe and secure and loved . And that goes for you , too .
Kevin : You guys , you are both so incredible . Thank you . [ Sighs ] Thank you for talking me down for the hundredth time since all this happened .
Michael : You saw what was good in chloe . So whatever people are thinking , whatever they re saying , you do nt let it get to you .
Kevin : Yeah , I ll try not to . I know it s not good for me . It s not good for bella .
Michael : Well , you know what might be good for you is to get away for awhile , take some time for yourself .
Kevin : Yeah , paul suggested that , too .
Lauren : You might consider that . I mean , honey , whatever you decide , we re behind you . You know that .
Kevin : Mm - hmm . Well , I m not deciding anything today . But I am gon na get to the chapel , make sure everything is ready for the service .
Michael : You want me to go with you ?
Kevin : No , I could use a little time to myself .
Michael : Whatever you need .
Kevin : I just want to make sure that today is A ... a loving goodbye to chloe . I just hope I can get through it all without losing it .
Michael : Hey . You will , all right ?
Kevin : Yeah . I ll do it for chloe and for bella .
Michael : [ Sighs ]
Billy : Thank you . I got to say , I m really impressed on how you re handling this .
Juliet : Hmm . What choice do I have ? It is up to me to determine the next step in my life .
Billy : Well , you re a marketing whiz . I loved working with you . If you ever need a letter of recommendation , do nt hesitate to ask .
Juliet : Thank you . I appreciate it . And I wish nothing but the best for brash & sassy .
Billy : You sure about that ?
Juliet : Of course . I hope the company recovers quickly and has its best summer ever .
Billy : Cool . Well , in the meantime , I have a feeling you re gon na land somewhere great -- and fast .
Juliet : Hmm . Easier said than done .
Billy : Yeah , but everybody s lost a job at one point . I mean , I ve been fired a couple times . I think the best way you can do is just take it as a learning experience .
Juliet : Cane pretty much said the same thing .
Billy : Yeah , but I say it way cooler , right ?
Juliet : [ Chuckles ]
Billy : Look , I do nt want to give cane credit for anything , but I will this time . He s right about that . Best of luck , juliet .
Juliet : Oh , I m going to make my own luck .
Lily : Well , your job may be in high gear , but mine as brand ambassador is stalled .
Cane : Well , as soon as we come up with a new marketing strategy for the hockey league , yours will be back on track .
Lily : Yeah , but it wo nt be the same .
Cane : I know that you re disappointed that the commercial was canceled and you ca nt use it for your reel . I know that , and I m sorry .
Lily : Yeah , I called barry to talk about it .
Cane : Do nt worry about him . He s an agent . We know what they like . They re out for themselves , so you should nt be taking it personally if he drops you .
Lily : No , he was actually the opposite . He was really encouraging and said that this is just a minor setback , but he wants to keep putting me out there .
Cane : That s great . That s great .
Lily : But I told barry that i wo nt be pursuing other projects for a while .
Cane : You know you did nt have to do that .
Lily : No , I know , but i wanted to . I realize how much worse this could have been . You know , we have so much to be grateful for -- the kids , our jobs , each other . I want to concentrate on that and put my plans on conquering hollywood on hold for a while .
Cane : Hallelujah .
Lily : [ Chuckles ]
Cane : You know , I am just glad that you and I both got out of this unscathed .
Lily : Me , too . Not that I doubted it .
Cane : So , you tell me this . Now that you re a supermodel , this -- this gon na be enough for you , hmm ?
Lily : More than enough .
Cane : More than enough ? Yeah ?
Hilary : Aww . How romantic .
Victoria : Oh . You re here .
Billy : Kind of weirds me out when you say that because I work here , right ? I mean , I still have a job here , right ?
Victoria : I just thought that -- well , I heard that today was chloe s funeral .
Billy : Yeah . I did nt want to make it more difficult on kevin than it s already going to be , you know , with everything I said about chloe .
Victoria : You know you had every right to be angry with her .
Billy : Well , I sent flowers . Listen , I ran into juliet at crimson lights .
Victoria : How does she seem ?
Billy : Uh ...
Victoria : She was pretty upset when I let her go .
Billy : Yeah , I mean , that s understandable . A lot of mistakes were made , and she s the only one who walked away without a job .
Victoria : All right , listen , how many times do I have to keep reminding everybody that the league insisted that whoever was responsible for the miscommunication be let go ? And that was juliet .
Billy : And nobody s blaming you , including juliet .
Victoria : She is nt ?
Billy : No . I mean , she knows that the league forced your hand . You had to make an objective business decision .
Victoria : Good . I m glad she s not taking it personally , because I liked her work . I thought she was creative and industrious .
Billy : And since juliet does nt blame you , maybe you should stop beating yourself up about it .
Victoria : [ Sighs ]
Billy : Bad ? What is that ? Is it bad ?
Victoria : I hope not . It s the hockey league . Victoria newman .
Hilary : Now , you two do nt look like a married couple with teenage kids . More like , uh , let me think , um , a pair of secret lovers ?
Lily : I wo nt let you ruin our morning with your unnecessary sarcasm .
Hilary : I am being completely sincere . Seeing the two of you together , it is proof that a happy , long marriage is a possible dream . And I have been through two very painful divorces .
Lily : If you re trying to hold my brother and dad responsible for your failed marriages , really ?
Hilary : Lily , I m just trying to say that seeing you and cane together , it is validation that marriage can last . You can have a family . You can keep the spark alive . And you can stay absolutely committed to one another .
Lily : Thank you , I think .
Hilary : You re welcome . But I know it takes hard work . It s not easy . Things come along to challenge you , to ... tempt you .
Lily : There it goes . I knew you would take a swipe at me . I knew it .
Hilary : Oh , I m sorry . Is that what I m doing ?
Lily : You know , I have made mistakes , but I own them . And we got through them together .
Cane : And it s only made us stronger . And you see now we can deal with any challenges life throws at us .
Hilary : Okay .
Paul : All right . Here you go .
Todd : Paul .
Paul : Todd ! [ Laughs ] You made it ! I thought you were gon na --
Todd : No , I had to move some things around , but I did nt want kevin to have to ask a stranger to preside over the funeral .
Paul : Oh , come on in . Have a seat . [ Laughs ] Good to see you . [ Sighs ] I know this is nt exactly typical for you . I mean , chloe was an admitted murderer , and , uh ... [ Sighs ] She committed suicide .
Todd : And I m too involved . I officiated her almost wedding , and I m the one who discovered poor chelsea unconscious after chloe attacked her .
Paul : And yet you agreed to do this . That s awesome .
Todd : How could I not do it , paul ? Knowing the impact that mental illness has had on our own family .
Paul : Yeah , I thought patty might be one of the reasons that this would be incredibly difficult for you .
Todd : My mandate is to make it easier on the family . Despite having a front- row seat to the repercussions of chloe s behavior , I was able to see how much that young woman loved her child , loved kevin . And I think that kevin and esther and bella all deserve to have someone speak for chloe , who witnessed that love and has compassion for her .
Paul : [ Sighs deeply ] I feel for them . It can haunt you , knowing that there had to be some signs and feeling as though that there just had to be something you did nt anticipate or missed or ...
Todd : Knowing what s in someone s mind and heart can be impossible , even if you re close .
Paul : Yeah , well , it took me a long time to accept that .
Todd : But have you ?
Paul : Most days . Poor kevin . You know , I m sure he does nt love her any less knowing that she did some despicable things . And I m afraid that , uh , when she died , part of kevin died with her .
Chloe : I love you , kevin fisher , and I do nt care who knows it . You re the best thing that has ever happened to me , and i should have told you that before . But I was nt ready . And now I m ready . I m ready for us to be together .
Kevin : Together like ...
Chloe : Will you marry me , kevin ?
Kevin : Yes . Yes , I will marry you .
Chloe : [ Squealing ] Dance , cute boy ! Dance !
Kevin : I want you to dance . Where s that cat suit ? Bring out the cat suit .
Chloe : Cat suit ?
Kevin : Yeah .
Chloe : You ca nt handle the cat suit .
Kevin : I can handle the cat suit .
Chloe : [ Laughs ] Mmm !
Kevin : I will always come home to you .
Chloe : I love this badass side of you . I want to live dangerously right now .
Kevin : Now is the time .
Chloe : Time for what ?
Kevin : I want us to be a family again . I want to legally adopt bella . I want us to be the fishers or the fisher - mitchells , whatever we call ourselves , as long as we re a family .
Chloe : The only way to do that is if ...
Kevin : Right .
Chloe : Okay .
Kevin : Chloe ... will you marry me ?
Chloe : I do nt want to wait any longer than I have to , to be your wife . I have wasted so much time already . I do nt need a massive wedding with a bunch of business associates or acquaintances filling up chairs . I just need my daughter , our best friends , and our family . [ Voice breaking ] But what i need most of all ... is you .
Chelsea : I kind of I ca nt believe this . Chloe s funeral is today , and nobody even bothered to tell me ?
Nick : There s a reason for that .
Chelsea : I did nt want this , nick . I did nt want to hurt her . We were close . We shared everything -- our -- our business , my home , we were raising our children together .
Nick : Well , what about what she did to you , what she took from you ?
Chelsea : I know . That woman killed my husband , but at one point , she was my best friend . I should be at her funeral . I want to be .
Nick : I do nt think that s a good idea .
Nick : Look , this day is for chloe and kevin s family and friends .
Chelsea : Right . And that s who I am .
Nick : I do nt think kevin will see it like that , all right ? Chloe was his fiancéE.
Chelsea : Nick , you do nt have to --
Nick : Chelsea , please , just give kevin this day .
Chelsea : I have all the sympathy in the world for kevin . I do .
Nick : This is different .
Chelsea : How is it different ? We both loved her , and she hurt us both tremendously . But today in that chapel , none of that matters . It s important I am there for her . I need to make peace with all of this , and I really think that kevin will understand that .
Nick : I think that s a mistake .
Chelsea : Okay , well , then why do nt you see for yourself and come with me ?
Nick : No , I ca nt do that .
Chelsea : I mean , you do nt want to go and show your respect ?
Nick : I believe I m showing my respect by staying away .
Chelsea : Please . I m asking you . For me .
Nick : Look , chelsea , you know I support you no matter what . But you ca nt ask me to go to the funeral of the woman who killed my brother .
Kevin : [ Sighs ] Father todd , hi . Thank you for making the trip and doing this for us .
Todd : I needed to be here , kevin , in service to god and those who chloe left behind .
Kevin : Not in service to chloe ?
Todd : No , chloe s at rest . It s those loved ones left here to deal with the loss that need to comfort one another and be comforted .
Kevin : I hope you re right . I hope she is at rest .
Todd : Would you like to speak today ?
Kevin : Yes . Um , excuse me .
Esther : Kevin .
Kevin : Where s bella ?
Esther : Um , she s in the anteroom with the nanny .
Kevin : Okay , I m gon na go be with her .
Esther : Do nt worry . I ll be fine .
Kevin : Okay .
Esther : [ Sighs ]
Todd : Esther . I m so sorry .
Esther : Now I understand what chloe went through when delia died . Burying your child ? No parent should have to do that .
Todd : I m sorry I ca nt be here in the weeks ahead . You ll need someone to talk to , to help you grieve , to learn how to live with your loss .
Esther : Oh , it s okay . I went to my doctor , and she gave me something to help me get through this , as if something would ever get me through .
Todd : A verse keeps going through my head . A little while , and ye shall not see me : And again , a little while , and ye shall see me , because I go to the father .
Esther : Thank you .
Gloria : I m so sorry for your loss , esther .
Esther : You hated chloe , so spare me your phony sympathy . The young and the restless will continue .
Billy : Come on . Just tell me .
Victoria : Not until the others get here .
Billy : You know what ? Just give me a hint or a clue or something . Okay , you know what ? You should nt be inscrutable because it s not a good look on yoU. Remember jamaica when you were like --
Victoria : Ugh ! Okay .
Billy : See ? What ? Yeah ?
Victoria : The call ?
Billy : Yeah .
Victoria : [ Whispers ] That was from the hockey league .
Billy : Yeah , I know it was from the hockey league . I already knew that part . Nice of you to join us . You re right on time . You know , we re trying to run a business here .
Cane : You re right . I am on time .
Lily : What s going on ?
Victoria : Okay , uh , let s discuss it in the conference room , shall we ?
Cane : Oh , and you know why i do nt have to be the first one here and I can actually go and have breakfast with my wife , right ?
Billy : Oh , I ca nt wait .
Cane : See , cause unlike you , I do nt have to prove my reliability and regain victoria s trust .
Billy : [ Clicks tongue ]
Victoria : Okay , I will get straight to it . I just got off the phone with the hockey league , and not only do they want to promote brash & sassy products this next season . They want to get moving on it , and they want to get moving right away .
Billy : So they want to move on this before training camp starts in the fall ?
Victoria : Mm - hmm . And they specifically want to schedule more photo shoots with you , lily .
Lily : Oh , my god .
Cane : That s amazing .
Victoria : Yeah .
Lily : [ Chuckles ]
Billy : I ca nt believe they want to jump in like this already .
Victoria : Well , believe it .
Billy : It s good for them . I mean , they re smart enough to know they got a good thing here with brash & sassy despite the little hiccup in L.A.
Cane : Yeah , look at you . You re like teflon . You screw up , and you still get rewarded .
Gloria : There are a lot of things I could say right now . But I wo nt , because you re upset . You re grieving . So am I.
Esther : Really ? You re grieving for chloe ?
Gloria : For my granddaughter , who lost her mother . For my son , who lost the woman he loved . Ca nt you see that ?
Lauren : This is very kind of you , father .
Michael : Having you here will make it more meaningful , more of a solace for kevin .
Lauren : And for us . We ca nt thank you enough .
Gloria : I do nt want you worrying about anything today . Whatever you need , you just let us know .
Kevin : That little display of affection , I m guessing that was for me .
Gloria : [ Chuckles ] No , not at all .
Esther : We -- we were just ...
Kevin : Being thoughtful . Even if you were only faking it , I appreciate it .
Scott : Hey , buddy . I m so sorry , man .
Kevin : Thanks , scott .
Scott : Yeah .
Kevin : Sharon , I m glad you came .
Sharon : Well , thank you for allowing me to be here with you and your family today . Chloe was a friend .
Kevin : She felt the same way about you . It means a lot that you re here , that you re all here . Excuse me .
Scott : Yeah .
Lauren : Hi , sweetheart .
Scott : Hi , mom .
Gloria : Oh , my poor boy .
Esther : I think he s handling things remarkably well .
Lauren : You know what ? Let s sit down , shall we ? Come on .
Gloria : So are you as worried about kevin as I am ?
Scott : He s had a lot to deal with the last few months , you know . Planning his life with chloe and then , uh , her disappearing , finding out that bella was his . Now he S ...
Michael : Listen , lauren and i are concerned , too . And paul s trying to get him to take some time off , get away .
Sharon : Well , maybe that s the best thing for kevin right now .
Michael : Yeah , yeah , no , i agree , but you ca nt push him .
Gloria : No ! Kevin does nt need to be anyplace . He needs to be right here with his family .
Todd : Kevin . Are you ready ?
Billy : You know you deserve all the credit for this .
Victoria : Damn right I do .
Cane : So much for taking it easy , huh ?
Lily : I m excited .
Cane : You should be .
Lily : Yeah , not only because there s a new campaign . [ Cellphone rings ] But also there s no longer this dark cloud hanging over the company . Oh , I got to take this , but I ll be right back .
Cane : Sure , okay .
Lily : Hello ?
Cane : So , it looks like the league s gon na have a close eye on us , huh ?
Billy : I ve got no problem with that .
Cane : Yeah ? Well , that means we ca nt have the slightest hint of impropriety .
Billy : Okay , cane , I ll play along . What do you suggest ?
Cane : I m suggesting that you do nt have anything to do with hockey .
Billy : You know what ? I think you should take care of yourself , especially now that your biggest fan juliet s not here to make you look good .
Cane : Okay , see , cause what I m worried about is how long it s gon na be before you make another mess and we kind of have to clean it up . You know what I mean ?
Billy : No .
Todd : Kevin . Do nt think about the past or the future . Just concentrate on this moment , making this ceremony a beautiful expression of your love for chloe and a fitting remembrance for your daughter . Is everyone here ?
Kevin : Yeah . I do nt think we re expecting anyone else . These are the people who I want to be here .
Todd : Okay . Everyone , shall we begin ? Welcome . As we gather together to pay tribute to the life of chloe mitchell , we come before god asking that he soothes our hearts knowing that she s at peace with the heavenly father . We ll take comfort in the promise that we are all god s children . We re all the same in his eyes , whatever our faults , our afflictions , our failures . Everyone in this room was warmed by her humor . Everyone witnessed the depth of her love for kevin , the devotion for her mother . And we will be forever grateful for the lasting legacy of adoration and joy she left us in her beautiful daughter . It is through bella that light will shine on .
Chelsea : I really wanted to be here . I hope you do nt mind .
Kevin : What the hell are you doing here ?
Kevin : How could you show your face here after what you did ?
Chelsea : Kevin , please . Nick was just trying --
Michael : Kevin , stop .
Kevin : You were relentless ! You tracked chloe down like she was some kind of animal because you had to make her pay ? ! She was so scared about what you were gon na do that she killed herself ! You did this , nick . It is your fault chloe s dead !
Lily : Great . Thank you so much .
Cane : You look excited .
Lily : Yeah , of course I am . The campaign is back in full swing . [ Chuckles ] Honey , look , I meant what I said before , that the family is enough for me . But if I m being honest , I would have missed working on the hockey project .
Cane : Looks like we re gon na keep you busy this summer , huh ?
Lily : You think we ll shoot another commercial ?
Cane : Yeah , yeah , I think once we prove ourself to the league and we smooth things over , absolutely . But this time I will set it up so I ll be by your side .
Lily : I would love that .
Cane : That way I can keep an eye on things and make sure there s no mistakes , okay ?
Lily : I love that idea , and i love you .
Cane : I love you . I love you , baby .
Hilary : Juliet . Hi . How are you ?
Juliet : Better than the last time we spoke . I feel stronger , more in control .
Hilary : Well , that s really good to hear .
Juliet : Kind of amazing since I ran into billy earlier .
Hilary : Ugh . How did that go ?
Juliet : I told him I harbor no animosity toward anyone at brash & sassy .
Billy : So we re talking about a cross - platform promo blitz starting ...
Victoria : Come in ! Victoria newman ?
Victoria : Yes ? What is this ? You ve been served .
Billy : Wh-- any idea what this could be about ?
Victoria : Oh , my god . We re being sued .
Billy : By who ?
Victoria : Juliet . For sexual harassment .
Michael : Kevin , no !
Chelsea : Kevin !
Michael : Kevin , stop it !
Kevin : Why did you come here ? !
Juliet : You think I have a strong case ?
Hilary : Strong and explosive .
Cane : What is it you want to go over with me ?
Victoria : We re being sued by juliet .

### Dialogue:
Massimo : I have to make sure that everything is perfect , Hudson , to match that lovely lady that will be on my arm tonight .
Hudson : She is quite a treasure .
Massimo : She is that .
Hudson : I know your first instinct was to lash out at Eric .
Massimo : Well , it s his behavior , Hudson . I mean , pursuing my wife , his absolute lack of regard for my marriage . I find it totally unacceptable .
Hudson : It s best to make peace with the Foresters , especially for Oscar and Bridget s sake .
Massimo : Yes , well , I have given Eric one last chance to do the right thing . So , tonight , as long as he keeps his distance , everything will be fine .
Jackie : You really should nt be calling .
Eric : Whatever happened to a good old - fashioned hello ?
Jackie : We should nt be talking , Eric .
Eric : Jackie , you said last night you wanted someone to talk to ; you needed someone to talk to .
Jackie : Yes , that was last night , but since then , Massimo and I , we ve had a heart - to - heart and -- you have to understand , I have to respect his wishes , Eric , but -- I ca nt see you anymore .
Eric : Is that what you want ?
Jackie : He s my husband , Eric . He s not comfortable with our friendship and I have to honor that .
Eric : What about you ?
Jackie : Please , just leave well enough alone , will you ?
Deacon : Thanks , Megan . What s with the ah -- the colored , what are these , post - its ?
Caitlin : Yellow indicates external mail , pink s internal . I thought it would streamline the whole mail sorting process .
Deacon : You re not Megan .
Caitlin : No , she had to go something about an engagement party for Eric Forester s daughter ? Caitlin .
Deacon : Deacon Sharpe , how you doin ?
Caitlin : I m a new intern here at Forrester .
Deacon : Congratulations .
Caitlin : You know , I ve always dreamt about becoming a fashion designer . Legend has it I was born with a sketchpad in hand .
Deacon : I heard there s a corrective surgery for that now , so -- good luck , because , you know , we usually get the cream of the crop , so I m sure you ll do very well .
Caitlin : I ca nt believe I m actually here at Forrester . This is so cool . I mean , talk about starting at the top . What s it like working with Eric Forrester ?
Bridget : I still ca nt get over you doing all this for me and Ozzy . This is the most beautiful engagement present .
Stephanie : You re welcome . I m happy to do it . And if you re mother were here , she d be happy to do it for you , too .
Bridget : I miss her .
Stephanie : Of course you do , but we both know she s doing the right thing . Putting the family before her own happiness . You know , your mother and I have gone at it many times , tooth and nail , but I -- I really admire the way she s handled herself .
Bridget : I m proud of her , too . Just the way she s been able to move beyond her mistakes .
Stephanie : Let s hope they re all in the past .
Bridget : Yeah . Stephanie , what if I m destined to make the same ones ?
Stephanie : We make our own destiny , Bridget . And you re not the kind of person that would squander yours . Although , I was a little taken back by the swiftness of this engagement .
Bridget : That makes two of us .
Stephanie : Oh , you agree it was fast ?
Bridget : Yeah , that s why we re taking our time . I know why Ozzy proposed when he did . I mean , it was totally out of love , but I think it was also a deterrent to Deacon . Which I admit , I may have needed .
Stephanie : Seeing things more clearly , are we ?
Bridget : I think so . I made a huge mistake rushing into marriage with deacon and I suffered the consequences .
Stephanie : It takes two . Do nt put all the blame on yourself .
Bridget : I do nt , I do nt . I just -- I want to be so sure before I make that commitment again . And do nt get me wrong , I love Ozzy , but I want to be completely certain that we re compatible . That we can overcome any obstacle before we get married .
Stephanie : Well , you ve got to have a solid foundation .
Bridget : Yeah . I ca nt tell you how many nights we ve stayed up . Just talking about kids and family .
Stephanie : Good for you .
Bridget : But we really are taking our time . We know that marriage is more than just about the sex , or the party , or the dress , you know ? It s a lifetime .
Stephanie : And Ozzy understands this and agrees with you ?
Bridget : Completely . Stephanie , the more I get to know him , the more I love him .
Stephanie : Well then , I guess I ll just have to grow to love him , too .
Bridget : Whoo , wow . Certainly not belle of the ball attire . [ Stephanie laughs ] I got ta go change .
Stephanie : Get out of here .
Deacon : Ah -- Eric Forrester is a , um -- he lets you know where you stand .
Caitlin : Well , I mean , you do nt become a fashion icon by holding back . That much is evident in his work . Do you remember his yellow silk crepe in 86 , with its sweeping skirt and bolero cut bodice ? I mean , there s nothing subtle about that .
Deacon : Yeah , that was good , was nt it ? What do you know about 80s design , anyway ? Other than maybe designer diapers ? I mean --
Eric : What s this about designing diapers ? I know were targeting the younger market , but is nt that taking it a little too far ?
Deacon : Thought you had an engagement party to go to ?
Eric : That I do , and I m delighted to know that you re going to be here , holding down the fort .
Deacon : I m bet you are .
Eric : And who might this be ? I m sorry , where did my manners go ? Eric , this is Caitlin . She s Forrester s newest intern . Caitlin , this is --
Caitlin : Mr. Forrester , it is an honor to meet you .
Eric : Eric , please .
Caitlin : Eric .
Eric : I hope your time at Forrester fulfills all your expectations , and then some .
Caitlin : Thank you . Oh , my god .
Deacon : Yeah , I know . I get chills myself just being in the same room with him . So , was it everything you had hoped it would be ?
Caitlin : And then some . But what was that look between you two ?
Hudson : Surely , Eric would nt be foolish enough to cross you again .
Massimo : Oh , I certainly hope that you are right , Hudson . Because if he lies one hand on my wife -- ah , what a sight for sore eyes .
Hudson : You do look lovely , Jackie .
Jackie : Oh , thank you . This old thing ?
Massimo : Are we ready ?
Jackie : For a night to celebrate new beginnings . Yes .
Stephanie : Please put that on the credenza , the far end . [ Knock on door ] I ll get it . Oscar , come in , come in . Bridget is still dressing .
Oscar : Ah , good . Gives you and I a chance to get some things straight .
Stephanie : Well , this sounds serious .
Oscar : Oh , yeah , it s pretty serious business . I do nt know if you know how much I appreciate you throwing this party . It means a lot to me -- and Bridget .
Stephanie : You re welcome . Bridget s a wonderful young woman , and she deserves the best .
Oscar : Yeah , she does . Yeah . I do nt know if you know this , but she really credits you with being able to grow into the woman that she is today . Yeah . I mean , she talks about you all the time . How much she looks up to you , what a great influence you ve been in her life .
Stephanie : Well , that s very nice to hear , but she s handling this all pretty well on her own . And you two seem to have a good handle on this engagement .
Oscar : Well , I do nt really deserve the credit for that . If it were up to me , we d already be married .
Stephanie : Oh , well , are you not on board with this decision to wait ?
Oscar : Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , I am now . I mean , I get it . I get it now , because , you know -- well , the truth is , it turns out it s giving us more time to even fall deeper for each other . If that s even possible .
Stephanie : I have to be very truthful . I was a little taken back by the swiftness of this engagement .
Oscar : Ah , yeah . Most people were .
Stephanie : Marriage is a very serious thing . You know , you -- you got ta take time to really get to know one another . See if you re really good friends . Build a solid foundation . So I m very pleased that you ve taken the time to make sure that this is the right decision .
Oscar : Yeah . Well , look , I know that you re really protective of Bridget , and if it gives you any peace at all , just know that , so am I. I mean , just watching out for her . Watching out for her best interests . Just watching out for her , period . It s become my number one priority . It s funny , I do nt even really think of Ozzy Marone anymore . I just think about me and Bridget . Just this kind of us kind of thing , us . I do nt even know what -- does that make any sense ?
Stephanie : Perfect sense . It ll be fine . We re gon na have an absolutely marvelous party .
Oscar : All right .
Deacon : Let s just say that from time to time Eric and I do nt exactly see eye to eye . Creative differences .
Caitlin : Well , I ca nt see anyone disagreeing with Eric Forrester .
Deacon : That would be because you re blinded by the stars in those beautiful brown eyes , Caitlin .
Caitlin : Well , no , I just meant that he s so sincere . He seemed so kind . I mean , the way he just welcomed me -- most CEO s do nt give interns the time of day .
Deacon : Well , Eric s not stupid ; he always makes time for a pretty lady . It s just the men that get near his daughter who cause problems for him . Look , if you re gon na stick around , do me a favor . Can you hand me that red file over there ? Make yourself useful .
Caitlin : I m not following .
Deacon : Give me that . Eric just wanted to make sure that I was gon na stay as far away from that engagement party as possible .
Caitlin : Right , because he wanted you to watch over the office .
Deacon : Right .
Caitlin : Is nt she dating that really cute guy from promotions , Ozzy ?
Deacon : Yeah , by default . Okay , Caitlin , um -- Bridget , Eric s daughter , used to be my wife . And we d be married again if it was nt for Eric .
Bridget : Hello .
Oscar : Hey , you look amazing .
Bridget : Hi . Thank you -- so handsome .
Stephanie : Well , I m delighted to see you .
Jackie : We re delighted to be here , Stephanie .
Massimo : Stephanie , have you met Hudson ?
Hudson : Of course , at the wedding . It s nice to see you again .
Hudson : Likewise .
Massimo : Thank you for including my old friend and confidant . He tries to keep me out of trouble .
Stephanie : Oh , must be a full - time job .
Hudson : Never a dull moment .
Stephanie : I m very happy that you re here this evening .
Hudson : My pleasure .
Jackie : Stephanie , I m so looking forward to this evening . I mean , our two families finally becoming one through Bridget and Oscar .
Stephanie : Hudson , would you like a drink ?
Hudson : Yes .
Bridget : Hmm . You know , the guests of honor at this little shindig certainly are nt being very friendly .
Oscar : Why should I go anywhere when everything I need is right here ?
Bridget : Everything we need .
Oscar : Suppose we should go mingle a little bit ?
Bridget : Maybe in a minute .
Eric : Hello , Jackie . Massimo .
Massimo : Eric .
Jackie : So nice to see you .
Eric : It s reassuring to see that young love still flourishes .
Jackie : Is nt it ?
Caitlin : I ca nt imagine anyone allowing someone to decide who they marry , even her dad .
Deacon : Well , he definitely has something to say about whom she does nt marry .
Caitlin : Well , if he feels that strongly about it , he has to have a reason for it . Why d your marriage end in the first place ?
Deacon : What , are you writing a book ?
Caitlin : Well , say what you want to say , I still think Eric is sweet and kind . In fact , eye on fashion magazine said that he had the three key ingredients to a successful American designer . A good eye , a shrewd business mind , and a personality that charms birds off trees .
Deacon : You know , if eye on fashion said it , then I suppose it must be true .
Caitlin : Man , you are determined to give this guy a bad rep . It s a good thing you re not head of public relations for Forrester .
Deacon : Actually , I was head of public relations for Forrester , but Eric manages to do pretty well in that department by himself . He s managed to spin himself into a regular prince charming in everyone s eyes . Almost everyone .

Jackie : I ca nt talk about this .
Eric : Strictly business , Jackie .
Jackie : You and I , we do nt have any business anymore , Eric .
Eric : What does that mean ?
Jackie : I have to find my husband .
Hudson : That s right , Massimo and I have known each other for many , many years . We navigated freighters together . Fought oil wars .
Oscar : Okay , okay , so you have all the dirt on mo , right ? You and me are gon na have to talk later , Hudson .
Massimo : Ah , ah , ah . Nice try , Oscar . Old soldiers do nt give away secrets , you know .
Hudson : I m afraid he s right .
Stephanie : Just when you think you know someone . Now , has Jackie heard all of these war stories , so to speak ? Where is your wife ?
Eric : Does nt look like your husband s out here , Jackie .
Jackie : Please . Please , stop doing this .
Eric : I do nt want to make you uncomfortable , but Jackie , networking with me is part of your job . You ca nt avoid me forever .
Jackie : Actually , I can . I told Massimo that I will resign my post as Fenmore s rep to Forrester .
Eric : Why ? Why did you tell him that ?
Jackie : I have to do it , Eric . I have to , for my marriage . Look , Massimo is a very jealous man and if this is what it takes for him to understand how much I love him -- I have no choice .
Eric : Can you even hear yourself ? Do you hear what you re saying ? He has such a short leash on you , you re not even yourself anymore . Jackie , please .
Jackie : I know what I am doing !
Eric : Jackie , please . Please , do nt do this .
Massimo : Damn him .

### Dialogue:
Ridge : Latte , my dear .
Brooke : Oh , wow , thank you .
Ridge : I finally was able to learn how to use that machine .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) Ridge , I love you so much .
Ridge : Wow , it s just coffee .
Brooke : I know , but ... ( Chuckles ) After last night , I ... I do nt know what I would do if you were nt able to forgive me .
Ridge : Logan , I m gon na love you till the day I die , but I may not always be able to forgive you .
Brooke : I wo nt give you any reason to . I promise .
Ridge : I was thinking maybe it might be best if you work from home for a few days .
Brooke : No , that wo nt be good . Then they ll gossip all the more . I mean , we need to continue business as usual . Then they ll see that the kiss was what it was meant to be-- just a publicity stunt .
Ridge : Hope you re right .
Brooke : I know I am . In fact , I am on my way to go see your mother and convince her of the same thing .
Ridge : Wait a minute . You sure you want to tangle with the beast ?
Brooke : Yes , I do . I - I just do nt want any problems between us . We ve come too far .
Ridge : All right . Good luck .
Brooke : Thank you . Oh , thanks for the coffee .
Ridge : Sure .
Ridge : ( Sighs )
Taylor : Disgusting ! ( Sighs ) ( Scoffs )
Whip : Sweetheart , look , I know you re upset , but Thomas kissed Brooke to cause a stir , okay ? It was nt some sort of grand scheme on her part . I wish you would stop worrying about this .
Taylor : I try to look the other way at the things that Brooke does . I pretend it does nt happen , but this is my son . And I am not going to allow him to get caught up in another one of her webs .
Madison : Hot stuff .
Thomas : Madison .
Madison : Sorry , I was just , um , staring ... admiring , actually . Uh ... ( Laughs ) Thorne said you had some notes for me .
Thomas : Oh , tell him ten more minutes . I need to see how the rest of these look , all right ?
Madison : Thomas , they ll all look fabulous . No worries there .
Thomas : Brooke says I need to try on every single one of these . I might be inspired to make some changes , and looking at em , I definitely have some notes . ( Sighs )
Madison : Well , Brooke knows her stuff all right .
Thomas : ( Chuckles )
Madison : Especially how to kiss .
Oliver : ( Sighs )
Amber : ( Sighs ) ( Sighs ) Oh , its morning already ?
Oliver : Yep .
Amber : Wow . Yeah , feels like we , uh , just-- just went to sleep .
Oliver : Kind of just did . ( Chuckles )
Amber : ( Chuckles ) Yeah , true . ( Sighs )
Oliver : ( Sighs ) It was fun , uh ...
Amber : ( Sighs ) Yeah . Hope you do nt have any regrets . Mm , I said the H word . Sorry . ( Chuckles )
Oliver : No , no regrets . It was great .
Amber : Yeah , anyway , um , thank you for letting me stay . And I m really glad that you believe me about why I stole those designs .
Oliver : You want some breakfast ?
Amber : Yeah . Yeah . Breakfast -- breakfast sounds , um , great . But you -- you know , you do nt really have to if you do nt want to . If you d rather me go , you could -- you can just tell me . I know you re thinkin about Hope , so ...
Taylor : Ridge , hi . I m -- I m so glad to see you . I - I need to talk to you .
Ridge : I know . Whip called me and asked me to stop by .
Taylor : You did ?
Whip : Mm - hmm .
Taylor : Why ?
Whip : Well , after everything that happened at the premiere , I , uh , thought Ridge might be able to help get you past everything , since I m not doing a very good job .
Ridge : I ll do my best .
Whip : ( Whispers ) I ll be downstairs .
Taylor : Okay .
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Stephanie : So what is all this fussing about ?
Bridget : I really wish that you would just listen to me , Stephanie . I am a doctor .
Stephanie : Ex - doctor .
Brooke : May I come in ?
Bridget : Mom , hi .
Brooke : Hi , Honey .
Stephanie : Oh , Brooke , hi . ( Chuckles ) Kissed anybody appropriate today ?
Brooke : Uh , Stephanie , uh , I need to speak with you in private . There s something I would like to talk to you about .
Oliver : I am not thinking about Hope .
Amber : It s okay if you are . I totally understand .
Oliver : And I do nt want you to leave .
Amber : Good , cause I do nt really have anywhere else to go . So , you know , um , I do nt have any expectations . I m just lookin for a friend ... ( Sighs ) Or maybe a place to hang out for as long as you ll have me . You give me that , and I ... will be whatever you like .
Madison : You look so good in this color .
Thomas : ( Chuckles )
Madison : ( Chuckles ) It matches your eyes .
Thomas : Thank you .
Madison : Uh - huh .
Marcus : ( Clears throat )
Madison : Oh .
Thomas : Oh . Good luck with the line .
Madison : Hey , Marcus .
Marcus : Hey , Madison . Dude , what was that ?
Thomas : What ?
Marcus : What ? What do you mean , what ? When did you start hangin out with Madison ?
Thomas : You saw that , huh ?
Marcus : Uh - huh .
Thomas : That s Madison being Madison .
Marcus : Madison being Madison ?
Thomas : Yeah , Madison being Madison .
Marcus : Right .
Thomas : ( Chuckles )
Marcus : Anyway , you , um , thanks for letting me model the men s line the other day . That was real cool .
Thomas : Yeah , Man , no problem .
Marcus : I mean , I got ta ... ( Chuckles ) I got ta admit , Thomas , you , uh , you like livin on the edge , Bro . I mean , me personally , I really do nt have the guts to do anything like that .
Thomas : Marcus , I knew you d be great .
Marcus : No , I meant you kissing my Auntie Brooke .
Thomas : I like to live dangerously .
Marcus : Well , I know your dad was nt too thrilled , but , hey , that kiss-- that really did make a difference . Dude , we got orders pilin in for the whole line , and we did nt even show that many suits at the preview .
Thomas : ( Sighs ) People want to wear my name cause they finally know it .
Marcus : Mm , it s the kiss . That made the difference .
Thomas : ( Chuckles )
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Ridge : Whip s concerned about you .
Taylor : I know , but he just does nt get it , you know ? He just tells me not to worry about it , that everybody knows it s a publicity stunt , and it ll all blow over , and everybody will forget about it . I can just imagine my patients sitting out in the waiting room talking about how crazy my whole family must be . Really , I mean , my son kissing my worst enemy ? It s embarrassing .
Ridge : I know . I know , and I m sorry . I m sorry . Look , I was as upset about that kiss as you were .
Taylor : ( Sniffles )
Ridge : It was totally inappropriate . And I m worried that Thomas did nt understand that .
Taylor : Well , what about Brooke ?
Ridge : Brooke , too . But was it worth it ?
Taylor : It was nt worth it .
Ridge : Agreed . ( Sighs ) But Brooke is not trying to harm our son . There s nothing malicious going on here .
Taylor : I do nt care . I do nt care . I just -- I just-- I want her to leave him alone . I just want this to stop .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Stephanie : Look , if you ve come over here to ask me if I know where Ridge slept last night , uh , I do nt have any idea .
Brooke : He was with me .
Stephanie : Bully for you .
Brooke : We had a very serious discussion , and we decided to put everything behind us .
Stephanie : My doctor , your daughter , told me that I needed to get some rest , so ...
Brooke : I am here to ask you to do the same .
Stephanie : No .
Brooke : Stephanie , think about everything that has happened these past few weeks . Our lives have changed . Neither of us are ever going to be the same . Let s not go back to where we were . Please do nt become that person again , the person that had that simplistic view of me . Ridge is going to support me , and I need your support , too .
Amber : Best pancakes ever .
Oliver : Uh , yeah . Do you want some more ?
Amber : No . No , thanks . I m absolutely stuffed . ( Sighs ) You really know how to take care of a girl . Hey ... thanks for forgiving me . You really are amazing .
Stephanie : You want me to support you ? In what , your quest to humiliate my family ?
Brooke : Really ? After everything we ve been through , that s where we are now ?
Stephanie : Really , that s exactly where we are . You know , I realized ...
Brooke : ( Scoffs )
Stephanie : I could have done some good with my time . Instead , what have I done ? I ve been trying to chase you away from my family . I have had I -- how many countless nights , sleepless nights , wondering who in the hell you were gon na seduce next . I mean , my whole focus all these years has been trying to get rid of you . My God . How pointless has that been ? I thought ... I thought we had taken a better turn . I thought that you and I were really gon na be able to do something wonderful together for other people . And what do you do ? You lip- lock my grandson . I mean , gee , Brooke .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Stephanie : You really think I m gon na support you ?
Ridge : You know ... ( Sighs ) You can call me . You do nt have to wait for you husband to call me behind your back to get me to come over to talk to you .
Taylor : Well , I did nt mean to imply earlier that he does nt understand me , you know .
Ridge : Well , how could he ? He s only been married to you once . I m eons ahead of him .
Taylor : ( Chuckles ) No , he understands that our life together was very special to me and our family , and he knows that I ll always love you .
Ridge : I ll always love you , too .
Taylor : I have nt heard you say that in so long .
Ridge : Yeah , after all these years , is nt it understood ?
Taylor : Well , I m glad you admitted it-- that I was right what would happen if those two worked together .
Ridge : Well , maybe I should listen to you more .
Taylor : Maybe if you had listened , we d still be married .
Brooke : I have grown , and I m sorry that you ca nt see that .
Stephanie : Just keep telling yourself that . ( Sighs )
Brooke : There will be no more indiscretions .
Stephanie : Oh , sure .
Brooke : No , it s true . I promised Ridge .
Stephanie : And I bet you re gon na keep that promise , just like all the promises you ve kept over the years . I am sure he forgave you .
Brooke : Yes , he did .
Stephanie : My guess-- it was nt exactly unconditional , though .
Brooke : Maybe not .
Stephanie : No more indiscretions .
Brooke : Right . That s what I said-- no more indiscretions .
Stephanie : Start packin , Kid . You re not capable of that .
Brooke : I came here today as your friend , as your daughter - in - law , because I respect your opinion , and I wanted to get you to understand . I had to finesse a very awkward , very strange situation that Thomas had put me in .
Stephanie : Because you allowed him to place you in that situation .
Brooke : Well , what-- ( Scoffs ) Stephanie , what was I supposed to do ?
Stephanie : You should have stopped it . Honey , it s too late now . The barn s on fire . The chickens and the cows are runnin around .
Brooke : Oh , Stephanie .
Stephanie : No , you should have been the responsible adult .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Stephanie : Why did nt you slap him ?
Brooke : Well , I m sure that s what you would have done .
Stephanie : Well , of course I would have , because it would have turned the whole situation around . What went on was just inappropriate , unacceptable . You know , you get into this kind of trouble when you let something like this happen with men all the time . This is just the beginning of this situation . This trouble is just beginning . You d better stay away from ... you d better stay away from my grandson .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Taylor : I did nt mean that exactly quite like it sounded . I mean , the last thing either one of us would need to -- is to still be married . ( Chuckles )
Ridge : I will always cherish the years we spent together .
Taylor : Me , too . I - I think we had really more good times than bad , right ?
Ridge : Never had to warn you that there could nt be any more scandals .
Taylor : That s because Brooke ca nt avoid scandal . That s all she s about . You know that . You know that she ca nt . It-- I just do nt want her-- her next one to involve our son .
Ridge : Taylor , nothing is gon na happen . It s over . Thomas is safe .
Taylor : I do nt want you two working together . Brooke is trouble , Thomas . She is nothing but trouble . I m telling you , Brooke is a predator . She is serial seductress . No man is safe .
Thomas : ( Sighs )
Taylor : No man is safe . ( Echoing ) No man ... no man ... no man ... she is a serial seductress . You have to be ... ( Echoing ) Have to be ... have to be ... no man is safe . She is a serial seductress . She is nothing but trouble .
Brooke : ( Giggles )
Taylor : No man is safe . You have to be ...
Brooke : ( Giggles ) Oh ... ( Sighs ) Good , you re here .
Thomas : Yeah .
Brooke : Suit 2a , all finished , fresh from the sewers .
Thomas : Great .
Brooke : Why did you do that ?
Thomas : Privacy . I m gon na try on some suits . I m gon na lock the door .
Brooke : Right . Good . Yes . I want to see them on you . Thomas , what s going on ? Do you want to talk about it ?
Thomas : What ?
Brooke : The kiss .
Thomas : ( Sighs )
Brooke : You ve been thinking about it . So have I.
Thomas : Our kiss that captivated the world .
Brooke : Yes , it did , but it s never going to happen again .
Thomas : Yes , it will , Brooke . That kiss-- it s gon na happen again and again , whether you like it or not .
Brooke : Thomas ! Control yourself .
Thomas : I ca nt , Brooke . It s beyond my control . It -- it s bigger than either of us . Something happened when I kissed you , something that , try as we might ... nothing can stop . My life has been changed forever , Brooke .

### Dialogue:
Maya : Look at this adorable outfit daddy put you in . Yeah . [ Chuckles ] Look at that face .
Maya : Shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . Ohh , you do nt know how much I needed this .
Rick : I know . But you ca nt let the situation get you stressed out . No matter what the test results , I know that Zende and Nicole can handle it .
Maya : I just -- Sasha has to be lying . There s no way that she s carrying Zende s baby .
Rick : The truth will soon come out .
Nicole : You lied , Sasha .
Zende : Hey , I guess she is nt denying that .
Sasha : Okay , look -- I m asking you to forgive me . I know that s a lot -- that s a lot to ask right now , but ... Nicole , I m your sister .
Nicole : You lied about that , too .
Sasha : And that is why I came clean . I m not pregnant . And I do nt want to pretend anymore . I could nt do that to Zende , and , Nicole , I could nt do that to you . I do nt want to lose you . Please , please do nt cut me out of your life .
Ridge : I wonder what s keeping mommy .
Caroline : This is between you and Ridge . He is the one that wants you in Shanghai , and he thinks that you re on your way there right now .
Thomas : I know , and he s not gon na be happy when he finds out that I m not . That s why I did nt want to bother you guys with this tonight .
Caroline : Yeah , but I ve seen you , Thomas . I m not gon na go upstairs and pretend that I have nt .
Thomas : I m sorry . I know this complicates things . I did nt want to put you in the middle of this . But I could nt leave Douglas . As a parent ... I hope you understand my decision .
Rick : So , you think Sasha s lying ?
Maya : She does have a history .
Rick : A history of not telling you that she s your sister .
Maya : Mm - hmm .
Rick : But pretending to be pregnant ?
Maya : Well , I m not taking Sasha s word for it , and neither is Nicole .
Rick : What about Zende ?
Maya : He s trying to be a gentleman , and he s not gon na make accusations . I mean , he realizes what a precious gift a child is . Obviously , if Sasha s pregnant , he s gon na step up , but I ca nt ignore this timing .
Rick : Mm - hmm .
Maya : If Sasha s lying to hold on to Zende , she wo nt get away with it .
Nicole : Zende believed you . You let him think that you were pregnant .
Sasha : I know . I panicked .
Nicole : Because he was going to leave you for me , and you could nt let that happen .
Sasha : I m sorry .
Nicole : Are you ? After I defended you with dad and I accepted you as my sister , you do this ... and you expect me to forgive you for it ?
Sasha : No , Nicole . I do nt expect anything . I - I am asking ... sincerely , please . Nicole , I want to make this right !
Nicole : Then if it was only thing , maybe you could . But you came to L.A. , and you used me to get into Forrester . Then you stole my boyfriend and tried to keep us apart . Even when you knew he wanted to come back to me ... you tried to stop him .
Sasha : I m sorry .
Nicole : I ca nt forgive you for that .
Thomas : I could nt do it , Caroline . I could nt . I could nt leave my child . I mean , could you do that ?
Caroline : No .
Thomas : Now , I did nt stay here to spite my dad or to complicate you guys lives . The reason I did nt get on that plane is because I would miss out on so much . I need to be here . I need to -- I need to see my boy grow up .
Caroline : I have a tough time leaving him just to go to lunch . I --
Ridge : Hello , Thomas . I thought you d be on your way to Shanghai by now .
Thomas : I m not going . I m not leaving L.A.
Sasha : Look , I know what I did was wrong .
Nicole : You knew what it would do to Zende and me .
Zende : Well , it did nt split us up . I would nt have let that happen .
Nicole : But Sasha was hoping that it would .
Sasha : Look , telling Zende that I was pregnant was a horrible thing to do . I admit that .
Nicole : Because Maya made you take a pregnancy test -- that s why you confessed . But what if we had taken your word for it ? I know how long you can keep a charade , Sasha . How long would you have kept this one ?
Sasha : You think that lying comes that easy to me . You think that because of how I grew up , having to hide who I was , keeping our father s secret . You know what ? Maybe you re right . I mean , like , why would nt it be ? My entire existence has been one big fat lie .
Zende : That s not an excuse .
Sasha : I understand that . I know that I ca nt use the daddy excuse anymore , but , I mean , at least you can understand why .
Nicole : Why you d be jealous ? Yeah . [ Voice breaking ] But why you d want to hurt me ? No .
Sasha : [ Voice breaking ] I did nt want to hurt you , Nick . I just did nt want to be rejected again . I had finally found a man who I could trust , one who made me feel like I mattered . And then just like that , he was about to leave me , too . And I did nt handle it well . I know that . I own that . And I m sorry . I just did nt want it to be over yet . But listen to me . I could not live another lie , Nicole . I am not like dad . That is why I told you the truth .
Nicole : Zende ... can I have a moment alone with my sister , please ?
Zende : Sure .
Sasha : Nick ...
Nicole : [ Crying ] I m sorry . I am sorry ... for the way dad treated you . But I do nt owe you anything .
Rick : I ll let him know . Thanks .
Maya : Was that for Ridge ?
Rick : Yeah . I took care of it .
Maya : Yet another example why you should be the one running the company .
Rick : You know , it s funny you bring that up , because I just talked to my dad about this at the house -- carrying the family legacy , making sure that the Forrester company remains in the true Forrester hands . He shut me down .
Maya : What did he say ?
Rick : He basically told me to leave Ridge alone . He s free to make all these crazy decisions . I try to bring up one legitimate concern ... and as far as my dad is concerned , Ridge has done nothing but prove that his integrity and his commitment to the family and the company .
Thomas : I did nt want to bother you guys with this tonight .
Caroline : Thomas was here when I came to get us some food .
Thomas : Look , it s fine . We do nt have to talk about it right now .
Ridge : No , we can talk about it right now . You can still make your flight .
Thomas : I m not going to Shanghai .
Ridge : I thought we discussed this . I thought you wanted to take over this company one day , but for that , you need experience , and there s a great opportunity in China . You do nt want it ?
Thomas : I m all for opportunities , and I m all about making a positive impact on this business . I know I have a lot to learn . But let s be honest -- shipping me off to Shanghai was really an opportunity for you .
Sasha : You re right . You do nt owe me anything . If nothing else , I owe you . You did nt turn your back on me when my secret finally came out . And I am hoping you wo nt turn your back on me now .
Nicole : This is different , Sasha .
Sasha : I know . This is all my fault . I ve got no one else to blame but myself . I hope you can accept my apology . Look , nothing -- nothing I ever did was to hurt you . It was nt trying to be spiteful . I made a selfish , terrible mistake -- one that I feel awful about .
Nicole : That does nt excuse what you did . I know people make mistakes . They do things out of fear . They say things they wish they could take back . I m not heartless . I can forgive a lot . But not this . I think it s time for you to go back to Illinois .
Rick : You know , things have got to change , Maya .
Maya : Shh , shh , shh , shh . They will . They will .
Rick : Well , not until dad realizes that Ridge is nt infallible . I mean , some of his decisions -- they do nt even make sense .
Maya : I know how important this is to you .
Rick : It s this thing with Thomas . Did you know that Ridge is sending him overseas ?
Maya : Back to Paris ?
Rick : No . Ridge is sending him to Shanghai .
Maya : But why ?
Rick : That s what I d like to know .
Ridge : I m not shipping you off , Thomas .
Caroline : But we understand why it might feel that way .
Thomas : I m staying here . I m gon na have a relationship with Douglas .
Ridge : You will when he s older , when you come back from China .
Thomas : Yeah , I m not leaving .
Caroline : Business opportunities that your father has talked about are real , Thomas .
Thomas : I do nt doubt that for a second . I do nt . But what s the rush ? I mean , you re not retiring anytime soon , and I have ample time to get the experience that I need to take over as head at Forrester , which is still what you want for me , right ?
Caroline : Of course it is .
Thomas : Hope so . Nothing would make me prouder than taking my place at the head of Forrester when the time comes ... and then watching Douglas do the same after me .
Caroline : And your father has offered a way to make that happen .
Thomas : By putting an ocean between Douglas and me . No . There s another way .
Caroline : Okay . Um ... I think that we all just need to take a little bit of time here and think about things and ... work something out . I promised Thomas that he would have access to Douglas and that he could see him whenever he wanted and that we would nt get in the way , and I completely understand why he was nt able to leave and why he might be upset if it felt like we were trying to cut him out . Thomas needs to be included , Ridge . For Douglas sake , we have to be able to work something out .
Ridge : We did work something out . We have a plan .
Thomas : You worked something out . That is nt gon na work for me .
Ridge : Because you re thinking of yourself . I m thinking about what s best for the company , what s best for the family , and what s best for Douglas . And what s best for Douglas , Thomas , is that you get on that plane , and that s what s gon na happen .
Nicole : You went too far .
Sasha : Look , just give me a chance to make it up to you . I know it may take a while , but you have him back now , Nicole , and I wo nt interfere again . I promise .
Nicole : You wo nt be here .
Sasha : Nick , come -- come on .
Nicole : What did you expect ? You knew how uncomfortable I was with you and Zende working together , and when things got difficult , you did nt come to my aid . You took advantage . And when I saw you with him ... that tore my heart out . But I accepted it . When I found out that you were my sister , I accepted it . And now you need to accept this .
Sasha : Nick , you -- you -- you ca nt just kick me out . I mean , we ve been best friends our whole lives .
Nicole : After everything that s happened ... I d be an idiot to trust you again .
Sasha : So , that s it ? There s nothing I can say to change your mind ?
Zende : Are we done here ?
Nicole : Sasha and I were just saying our goodbyes .
Zende : You re leaving ?
Sasha : You know , I ve really loved my life here , but I ca nt cling to you , Zende . I m not gon na get in the way of you and Nicole s relationship . I know what we had -- it ca nt even compare anyway . I was just a good time to you .
Zende : Hey . That s not true , okay ? You meant a lot to me .
Sasha : You know , the sad part is that we probably could have been friends ... if I had nt lied about the pregnancy . I completely blew it . I lost sight of what was important , all so that I would nt lose the guy . So I guess this is goodbye . I m gon na go get my priorities straight and just let you two get on with your lives . Love you .
Zende : You all right ?
Nicole : Yeah .
Zende : I m sorry it had to be like that .
Nicole : Me , too .
Zende : But she s right , you know . It s time for us to move forward and move on with our lives , and to me , that means a life with you . That s the only future I want -- the only one that makes sense . I love you , Nicole . And I am gon na spend every day making sure you know that .
Nicole : I love you . I love you so much . And I do nt want to think about Sasha anymore -- just us ... and our future and how happy we are going to be .
Zende : [ Exhales sharply ]
Maya : Shanghai ? I m with you , babe . This seems strange .
Rick : Asia could be a very lucrative market . It s growing fast . But it still does nt make sense why Ridge sent Thomas there .
Maya : You re in charge of International . Why did nt he talk to you about it ?
Rick : I do nt know . Ridge made this decision on his own ... and I intend to find out why .
Thomas : Are you giving me an ultimatum ?
Ridge : No . I m giving you a chance to put your mark on this company -- to be the leader that I know you can be .
Thomas : It s always been my dream to lead Forrester one day . You know that . That s why I want to learn as much as I can . I want to immerse myself in this . That s why I took the ticket . That s why I made it all the way to the airport , and that s -- that s why I turned around . Because there s something that s more important to us than fashion . Family . I ca nt turn my back on that . I ca nt turn my back on my son . Yeah , I get it . You do nt like me calling him that . But it s the truth . We all know it . We re all adults here . And all your proclamations about him being your son , he s your child , does nt change the fact that he is my boy .
Ridge : So , what are you saying ?
Thomas : I m saying that I m not going anywhere . I have a child , and I am not turning my back on him . I was promised that I would have a role in his life , that I would be given access . You want to raise my son ? Fine . I m calling the shots . No more of this Thomas , you go do this , Thomas , go do that . No . I m in charge , and you are going to respect what I have to say , or this is nt gon na work . So is that understood ?
### Summary:
| Rick tells Maya that the truth will come out if Sasha is lying . Sasha admits that she lied . She could not continue and do that with Zende nor to Nicole . She does not want to be cut out of her life . Nicole says she accepted Sasha as her sister and then she does this . She got her a job at Forrester and then she stole her boyfriend and now lies about being pregnant and she can not forgive her for that . Sasha says maybe Nicole is right . Her whole life has been one big fat lie . She knows she can not use the Daddy excuse any more but she does not like being rejected again . She did not handle this well and she is sorry . She came clean and told the truth . Nicole cries that she is sorry for the way their father treated her , but Nicole does not feel she owes Sasha anything . Thomas tells Caroline that he hates putting her in the middle but he could not leave town with Douglas here and he hopes she understands that . He could not leave his child behind . In midst of this Ridge comes down to check on Caroline and tells Thomas he thought he would be on his way to China by now . Thomas says he is not going . Ridge says there is still time for him to take that flight and get that experience and run the company some day . Thomas says there is no rush on the experience needed . He will take his place at Forrester when the time comes . Putting an ocean between him and Douglas is not the way , there has to be another . Caroline explains to Ridge that Thomas has to be included . She promised him that he would be part of Douglas s life ; they need to work something out . Ridge stands firm . They have had a talk and worked this out and he will stand by that . Thomas also stands tall and says he will not go . Sasha laments to Nicole that none of this is Nicole s fault . She handled everything wrong but she is hoping Nicole will not hold this against her . Nicole says she is not heartless . She can forgive a lot but she does think it is time for Sasha to go back home . Sasha wants a chance to make it up to Nicole . She promises not to interfere again . Nicole says she accepted her as her sister but taking Zende tore her heart out . And after everything that happened she would be an idiot to accept her again . Zende walks in and Nicole says they were just saying their goodbyes . Sasha says the sad part is they probably could have been friends if she had not lied about the pregnancy , so she guesses this is goodbye and the two of them can get on with their life . Zende tells Nicole that Sasha is right . They need to get on with their lives , that is the only future he wants , the only one that makes sense . She tells him that she loves him and does not want to think of Sasha anymore ; just how happy they will be . Rick does not think it makes sense that Ridge made this decision on his own and he intends to find out why . Thomas asks Ridge if he is giving him an ultimatum . Ridge says no , it is an opportunity . Thomas says there is more than opportunity , it is family . He has a child and he is not turning his back on him . Ridge may raise his son but he is in charge and Ridge will respect what he says or this will not work . |

### Dialogue:
Thorne : Mother . Mother , do you know who shot you ?
Felicia : Did you , Mother , did you see the person ?
Dr. Brauer : We ve got to get her to surgery .
Felicia : Well , just let her talk for a minute .
Eric : Please , please .
Felicia : Please , Mother , can you just try to say it ?
Ridge : Mother .
Thorne : Ridge !
Ridge : My God , what happened ? Thorne said you were shot . Okay . It s okay . It s okay , I m here . Your family s here , okay ?
Stephanie : I was ...
Ridge : It s all right . It s all right .
Donna : Is this really necessary ?
Charlie : He s checkin for gunshot residue .
Donna : I know what he s doing .
Charlie : Well , you have nothin to hide , right ?
Brooke : You ca nt think that I had anything to do with this .
Lt . Baker : I just need to know the last time you saw Stephanie before the shooting .
Brooke : I do nt know what time it was exactly . It was after the showing , and I told her how angry I was for what she did to Donna .
Lt . Baker : You confronted her ?
Brooke : I just told her how I felt .
Lt . Baker : So you argued ?
Storm : Oh , come on , Lieutenant , she would nt be admitting this if she was involved .
Stephen : I do nt think she should be talking to you at all .
Storm : Do you want them to find the shooter , or not ?
Stephen : Of course I do . I d like to shake that person s hand .
Donna : Look . I did nt like the woman , but I had no reason to shoot her . I already beat her .
Charlie : Beat her ?
Donna : Her husband is in love with me . I work at the company . I m lucky the old goat did nt shoot me .
Storm : I understand your position , Lieutenant-- Stephanie Forrester is shot , and my family is first on your suspect list , but let me tell you something , my sisters have had plenty of chances and reasons to go after Stephanie Forrester in the past , and they never have .
Lt . Baker : Maybe somebody finally just had all she could take .
Storm : Yeah -- Stephanie . That s why she was here today . She could nt stand to see my sisters getting the respect they deserve .
Lt . Baker : Seeing Stephanie on that runway rather than Donna-- that must have made you pretty mad .
Brooke : Now you re accusing storm ?
Lt . Baker : I m just trying to wrap this up .
Stephen : Then why do nt you stick to the facts ?
Lt . Baker : All right , here s some facts-- all three of your daughters work for Forrester Creations , Brooke is involved with Stephanie s son , Donna is involved with Stephanie s husband .
Brooke : Eric left Stephanie .
Lt . Baker : Does that bother you , Mr. Logan , that your daughter is dating Eric Forrester ?
Stephen : I imagine it bothered Stephanie quite a bit , too . Maybe Eric got tired of hearing about it all the time . Why do nt you go talk to him ?
Lt . Baker : I might just do that .
Donna : Dad ...
Stephen : Look . There are people lined up around the block wanting to see that woman dead . We all hated her , but in case you did nt get it the first time , I did nt shoot her and neither did my kids .
Ridge : How did this happen ?
Felicia : She s trying to tell us .
Ridge : She knows who did it ?
Felicia : I think so . Mother ?
Dr. Brauer : The O.R. s ready . It s time to go .
Thorne : Just wait .
Dr. Brauer : No , we ve got to get her into surgery right now .
Ridge : What did you say ?
Stephanie : ( Muttering ) Logan .
Ridge : Logan ? Which Logan ? Mother ? Mother ?
Dr. Brauer : We have to take her .
Felicia : I knew it . I knew it was a damn Logan .
Ridge : Oh , come on . You re not saying it was Brooke .
Felicia : What ? Mom said it , not me .
Thorne : She did not say Brooke , Felicia .
Felicia : Okay , well , my money s on Donna anyway .
Ridge : Donna ?
Thorne : Yeah , she was there when dad found her .
Felicia : She was furious that we locked her in the steam room . When she found out that mom was on stage with dad , stole her big moment , she went nuclear . Handwriting was on the wall , and she could nt handle it .
Thorne : Felicia , you re jumping to conclusions .
Felicia : Am I ? Where is dad right now , is he holding Donna s hand while she s giving her statement to the cops ? No , he s where he s supposed to be -- with mother .
Ridge : So you think Donna did this to hang onto dad ?
Felicia : Absolutely , and it backfired big time .
Thorne : Felicia , we do nt know that it was Donna , okay ? It could have been her father . He s the one who tried to push mother off the balcony , remember ? You know what ? Maybe he could nt do it eye - to - eye . A gun gives him distance .
Felicia : All right , you know what ? If you re thinking that way , it could be anybody in that family . What about Katie ?
Thorne : No , no . I do nt wanna think that at all . However , I did see her . She was angry . She was more furious than I ve ever seen her , actually .
Ridge : I m outta here .
Felicia : What ? Mom s in surgery , Ridge--
Ridge : Just call me if you hear anything , okay ?
Felicia : Where are you going ?
Thorne : Ridge .
Felicia : Nice .
Dr. Brauer : Mr. Forrester , you ca nt come in here . This is a sterilized--
Eric : No , no . I m staying with her .
Dr. Brauer : She s going into surgery .
Eric : She needs to know that I m here with her .
Dr. Brauer : She s gon na be under a general anesthetic , sir .
Eric : Look . I m gon na stay with her , all right ? I m not leaving her side . Is that clear ?
Dr. Brauer : All right , fine . Nurse , show Mr. Forrester where he can get a mask and gown . Let s move it . We ve got ta get that bullet out of her , come on .
Storm : You sure you guys do nt want any ?
Stephen : Coffee is the last thing I need right now .
Donna : I could use something to eat . What ? I have nt eaten all day .
Brooke : I just ca nt believe you d be thinking about food at a time like this .
Donna : I m hungry . I did nt realize that was a sign of guilt .
Brooke : ( Exhales sharply )
Brooke : Katie !
Stephen : Hey , hey , hey , hey !
Storm : Oh , sorry .
Donna : Katie , where have you been ?
Stephen : Honey , we have been worried sick about you .
Katie : I m fine .
Storm : Where d you go after you left the showroom ?
Katie : To the ladies room . Why , what s going on ?
Brooke : Stephanie was shot .
Katie : What ? When ?
Storm : Shortly after the show .
Katie : Who did it ?
Stephen : Well , the police are trying to find that out right now .
Storm : Yeah , listen , dad , I ve been meaning to talk to you about that . Look . If you re responsible , I think you should tell me now so I can go to the D.A. And try to work out a deal .
Stephen : What are you talking about ?
Storm : We need to lock in a plea before Stephanie comes to and tells the police what she saw .
Katie : You think dad did it ?
Storm : He threatened Stephanie s life right here in this room .
Stephen : I did nt try and kill anyone .
Donna : Look . We all had reason to hate her after the way she s treated us , especially Brooke .
Storm : It s called motive , Donna .
Brooke : Storm , every one of us in this family has a motive . That does nt mean any one of us would have done it .
Katie : The gun .
Brooke : That s right . You know , I had a chance to shoot Stephanie once , and I could nt do it . ( Gasps ) where is it ? The gun that Stephanie gave me-- it s gone .
Dr. Hopp : Forceps . A little more traction , please . Good , good . A little more . All right . I got it . Bullet s out . Let s irrigate and close . Vitals look stable .
Eric : He s finished already ?
Dr. Brauer : They got the bullet .
Eric : What about other injuries ? She lost so much blood , my God .
Dr. Brauer : Eric , dr . Hopp is a fine trauma surgeon . He s doing what needs to be done .
Eric : The bullet was so close to her heart .
Dr. Brauer : Fortunately , the doctor was able to remove it .
Eric : What does that mean ? What s the prognosis ? Is she gon na be all right ?
Dr. Brauer : We re gon na be watching her very closely . The surgery has gone very well .
Eric : My God . I could have lost her . Who could have done this ? How could anybody do this ?
Storm : Look . The gun and the bullet were right there . That s where dad put them .
Stephen : Honey , you remember I had the gun in my hand .
Katie : Dad , you put it right in the drawer .
Brooke : We all know the gun was here before the show . I was looking for a pen . We all saw it .
Donna : But it s not there now .
Katie : Brooke , it s got to be here . Someone must have moved it . It s here .
Brooke : Katie , it s not . It s not there . It s gone .
Katie : If somebody used that gun on Stephanie , we re all--
Brooke : We all knew the gun was here . Any one of us could have come up here--
Donna : Okay , just stop . Stop it right now before we say or do anything we regret .
Storm : Or that could incriminate us .
Brooke : We re family . We have to be honest with each other .
Storm : You did nt do it ?
Brooke : No , I did nt . Did you ?
Storm : Well , of course not .
Brooke : Katie ?
Katie : No !
Donna : Oh , come on .
Brooke : Stephanie humiliated you .
Donna : She locked me in a steam room . I was nt in danger . Not like what she did to you .
Brooke : Yes , and you ve wanted to pay her back for that .
Donna : I did nt shoot her .
Brooke : Okay .
Storm : Look . Donna was nt the only one that was angry with Stephanie .
Brooke : Dad , you were angry with her . You threatened her .
Stephen : I ca nt tell you how many times I fantasized about killing that woman , how much easier our lives would be , how happy my children would be , but I m not the one who pulled the trigger . Like you , Brooke , I could nt do that . That s not who we are .
Ridge : Okay , level with me . Who did it ?
Brooke : Ridge !
Ridge : Which one of you shot my mother ?
Storm : You ca nt come in here throwing around accusations like that , Ridge .
Brooke : Wait , let me talk to him . Ridge , your mother went to the hospital . Have you seen her ?
Ridge : I just came from there .
Brooke : Is she all right ?
Ridge : I do nt know . She s in surgery .
Stephen : Was she conscious .
Ridge : Yes , she was , when she told us it was a Logan who shot her .
Stephen : Well , of course she would say that . What else would Stephanie say ?
Katie : She had lost a lot of blood . She had just been unconscious .
Ridge : She was nt hallucinating , Katie . She was very coherent when she told us it was a Logan . Everybody heard her . So which one of you did this ? Was it you , Stephen ?
Brooke : Stop it , Ridge .
Ridge : Donna ?
Donna : No !
Ridge : You ve been sleeping with my father . You ve got every reason to want my mother out of the way .
Brooke : Ridge , I said stop it .
Ridge : My mother could be dying , Brooke , do you understand that ? Someone in your family might have murdered her !
Brooke : All right , that s it . Everybody out . I wanna talk to Ridge alone . Go !
Brooke : Not one more word , you hear me ? Not one word !
Felicia : Ah , I still say that it has to--
Thorne : Shh .
Felicia : Do nt shush me .
Thorne : Honey , keep your voice down , please .
Felicia : I m sorry . It s just revenge , Thorne , plain and simple .
Thorne : If the Logans did it .
Felicia : We stole their moment of glory .
Thorne : I know , I know , and it was supposed to be our moment .
Felicia : You know what makes me sick about this is that the fashion show was a huge success , and we did it as a family . We did it , and we should be celebrating together as a family , and instead , where are we ? Our mother s been shot .
Thorne : I know . So why have nt we heard anything ?
Felicia : Because mom s tough and she s pissed . She s not going anywhere . She s not gon na let somebody get away with that .
Dr. Brauer : Your mother made it through surgery . She s in recovery , and your father s with her .
Felicia : Thank you ! I knew it .
Eric : Hi .
Stephanie : Eric .
Eric : Hi .
Stephanie : Was I in surgery ?
Eric : You were in surgery , yes . Everything went very well . You came through it like a champ ... mainly because I was there . I was there with you the whole time . Otherwise , who knows ? Kids are here . They , uh-- they all want to see you , but I said no . You can see them tomorrow . I will tell them that you love them , then you can tell them yourself tomorrow when you re rested , okay ?
Stephen : ( Groans ) I want to talk .
Eric : No . No , not now . You need your rest , all right ? We ll talk tomorrow . You just get your rest .
Stephanie : Hmm .
Eric : And maybe then I can have the last word .
Stephanie : Maybe . Maybe not .
Brooke : Ridge , you re upset about your mother , and I understand that , and I am sorry , but you just ca nt barge in here accusing my family .
Ridge : She said it .
Brooke : She said , One of the Logans shot me ?
Ridge : She was trying to .
Brooke : ( Exhales sharply )
Ridge : Is that so impossible to believe ? Does everybody in your family have an airtight alibi ?
Brooke : Ridge , please , do nt do this .
Ridge : I know you did nt do it , Brooke . It was nt you .
Brooke : I hope you know that . I want some answers , too .
Ridge : I ve got to find out who did this .
Brooke : You re wasting your time pointing your finger at my brother and my sisters .
Ridge : What about your father ?
Brooke : He told me he did nt do it , and I believe him .
Ridge : Oh , so I ca nt take my mother s word , but you can take his ?
Brooke : How many enemies does Stephanie have ? She s been in conflict with people she knows all her life . I mean , she just broke off her lifelong friendship with Taylor , and then Eric told her not to come over to the showing , but she came over anyway , and look what happened .
Ridge : Oh , so now it s her fault ?
Brooke : No , I m not saying that . It s just the list of suspects does nt begin and end with my family . I mean , look what happened today with Jackie and the press-- what she did . Nick was furious .
Ridge : Okay , fine . We ll have them questioned , too .
Brooke : Ridge , my point is your mother has hurt a lot of people .
Ridge : Yeah , Brooke , you most of all .
Brooke : I did nt shoot her .
Ridge : I know how much your family cares about you , how much they want to avenge you . Maybe what happened to Donna today-- maybe it was the last straw . Maybe it was just one more thing on a stack of offenses over the last couple decades . There s only so much they can take .
Brooke : Okay , okay , you are so determined that it s a member of my family-- then who ? Which one ?
Ridge : Mother has been messing with Donna all day . She s been taunting her , finally locks her in the steam room . She steals her big moment , her magic moment , right ?
Brooke : I know ! And that was a horrible thing for her to do !
Ridge : Yes , it was , Brooke , so Donna loses it and goes for revenge .
Brooke : Oh , my God . You are so wrong .
Ridge : My mother knows who did this to her . You can keep denying it , and I can keep speculating , but eventually when the police question her , Brooke , the truth is gon na come out .
Dr. Brauer : Looking for this ?
Charlie : Oh , you retrieved that bullet from Stephanie Forrester ?
Dr. Brauer : The report is being faxed to your office right now . I thought you d want to take possession of the evidence yourself .
Charlie : Thank you .
Lt . Baker : So how is Mrs. Forrester doing ?
Dr. Brauer : She came through surgery very well .
Lt . Baker : Good . When can she be interviewed ?
Dr. Brauer : Well , she needs to rest tonight .
Charlie : The more time that elapses between the event and the interview , the more unreliable the eye - witness testimony becomes .
Lt . Baker : The bullet helps us a lot , doctor , thank you . .22 caliber-- that narrows our search . Is there any chance that Stephanie could just save us a lot of time and trouble and tell us who shot her ?
Felicia : Mom s out of surgery and breathing , thank God .
Thorne : I know . I just wish we could see her .
Felicia : Me too , Thorne , but you know what ? Dad s in there , and I think the more time they have alone , the better .
Thorne : Yeah .
Eric : Close your eyes . I m not going anywhere .
Stephanie : Hmm .
Eric : God , how many years have I held this hand in mine ? So many years that I cant-- I ca nt imagine-- I ca nt imagine not feeling your hand in mine . You just hang on to me now , okay ? Our lives are , uh , are intertwined . We re woven together forever , no matter what happens-- now and forever .
Eric : God , it s not enough that you have to surprise me out at the end of the runway . At the end of our fashion show , you have to get yourself shot .
Stephanie : ( Chuckles ) you needed a big finish .
Eric : Yeah . Well , it s nice to know that facing your mortality has nt had any lasting side effects like ... humility .
Stephanie : ( Exhales sharply )
Eric : Listen . Before the surgery , you said something about the shooting-- you said that-- about who shot you . Do you remember-- do you remember what you said ?
Stephanie : The shooting .
Eric : Yeah . You said that the person who shot you was a Logan . You remember saying that ? Which Logan was it , Stephanie ? Which Logan ? I have to know .
Stephanie : Donna .
Eric : ( Mouths word )

He assures her that she will be okay and the family is all here . Donna is fingerprinted and checked for gun residue . Lt . Baker is interrogating Brooke and she ca nt believe that he would believe she had something to do with this . He just needs to know the last time any of them saw Stephanie .

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
MELISSA BLOCK, host : From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. Im Melissa Block.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : And Im Robert Siegel.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : The new book "Because It Is Wrong" is a father and son collaboration. Charles Fried, the father, is a Harvard law professor and former solicitor general of the United States. Gregory Fried is chairman of the Philosophy Department at Suffolk University. And in addition to the generational divide, the Frieds are divided by political affiliation. Charles Fried served in the Reagan administration and has supported Republican candidates for president. Gregory Fried is a self-described independent.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Together, they have attempted a rigorous analysis of, to quote the subtitle of "Because It is Wrong," "Torture, Privacy and Presidential Power in the Age of Terror."
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Charles and Gregory Fried, welcome to both of you.
Professor GREGORY FRIED (Chairman, Philosophy Department, Suffolk University) : Thank you, Robert.
Professor GREGORY FRIED (Chairman, Philosophy Department, Suffolk University) : Good to be here.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : And I'd like you to elaborate first a distinction between wrongs that you make in the book: Torture is illegal because it is wrong; government snooping on us without a warrant is wrong because it is illegal.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Charles Fried, what's the difference?
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Prof. C. FRIED: The difference is that decent, civilized human beings will not under any circumstances torture or order torture. The Constitution itself says searches - which is what eavesdropping, snooping is - searches are only wrong if they're unreasonable or if they dont have a warrant. Well, that immediately shows there's a difference, because you can have reasonable snooping. You can have snooping pursuant to a warrant.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : I dont care what kind of a warrant you have, you can't torture and there is no such thing as reasonable torture.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : And, Gregory, you agree with that - the wrongness of torture is absolute and there is no reasonable instance for it.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Prof. G. FRIED: Thats correct. And it is the burden of argument to make that case because I think it's essential to our identity as a nation that we hold to this absolute among others, that torture is one of the things that a democratic republic must not do in order to retain its character.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Well, you address the cliched hypothetical that Ill repeat here and have you deal with: There's a devastating bomb about to go off, the clock is ticking, a detainee who is known to countenance and even plot mass murder, is under interrogation. If holding his head underwater so that he feels the threat of imminent drowning, if that technique were proven efficacious and that it would break his will and avert the explosion, you, Charles Fried would say, don't do it.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Prof. C. FRIED: Don't do it because it might break his will but it dishonors you and the whole country. It is part of our history. Washington said treat those captured in the battle with humanity and let them have no reason to complain over our copying the brutal example of the British army. Lincoln said military necessity does not admit of cruelty that is the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge, nor of maiming or wounding except in fight, nor of torture to extort confessions.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : It is an essential part of our honor and dignity as human beings to respect the honor and dignity of other human beings, even though they plot the most horrible things against us. Because if we dont respect their dignity we lose ours.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Prof. G. FRIED: And I would add - this is Gregory Fried speaking. I would add that one needs to think about what the consequences of that argument are. If you believe that dunking someone's head under the water will work in one case but it won't in another, what other calculations are admissible?
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : John Yoo has argued that the president has the authority to crush the testicles of a prisoner's child in order to coerce a confession or information from the prisoner. Would we accept that? Down that road lies madness.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : But to pursue this further. If I could rule out relatives of the detainee and deal only with the detainee himself, and if I could limit it, say, to what was called waterboarding, the argument turns to something that you write about. Machiavelli instructed the prince that to rule entails learning not to be good.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : A supporter of those aggressive interrogation techniques or torture, if they were proven effective, would say you're being a moral narcissism, to put your own desire to keep one's hands clean ahead of the common good - ahead of preventing that bomb from going off and killing thousands.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Prof. C. FRIED: The ticking time bomb scenario is an exceptionally rare circumstance, one that our public may be convinced by shows like "24" happen all the time but, in fact, is so exceedingly rare that if you allow it to settle your entire interrogation policy, what you end up with is not rare cases where it's implemented with minimal negative effect. What you wind up with is Abu Ghraib.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Well, in the book, you agree on nearly everything despite your different political affiliations. And I should say despite your being father and son, because that would be a good enough reason to disagree.
But you do differ in the end on this question : If President Bush and his subordinates knowingly violated laws and treaties in their policies on interrogation and on surveillance, should they be put on trial? Should they be prosecuted for it?
But you do differ in the end on this question : Gregory Fried, you said yes.
But you do differ in the end on this question : Prof. G. FRIED: Well, first of all, the kind of actions that were authorized by the Bush administration are unequivocally crimes, according to U.S. law. Furthermore, I find both the specific laws that were broken - laws against torture - and the theory which empowered the president to do those things, so dangerous, that the only way that it can be made clear to the American political system that these are inadmissible actions is through prosecution.
But you do differ in the end on this question : Prof. C. FRIED: Now, Im not at all pragmatic about whether torture is permissible or not. But I am pragmatic about whom you prosecute and when. And it seems to me that in a democracy for the ins to prosecute those who used to be in is a very dangerous, un-pragmatic thing to do.
But you do differ in the end on this question : And I know enough about the legal system to know that were there actually be an attempt to prosecute Vice President Cheney, Alberto Gonzales, John Yoo, Jay Bybee, those prosecutions would not be resolved until well after the second Palin administration. Thats how this would work out. And it's not at all clear that a jury would convict or, indeed, that a grand jury would indict.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Charles Fried and Gregory Fried, thank you both very much.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Prof. C. FRIED: It's been a great pleasure to talk to you.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Prof. G. FRIED: Thank you, Robert.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host : Charles and Gregory Fried's new book is called "Because It Is Wrong: Torture, Privacy and Presidential Power in the Age of Terror."
### Summary:
| The debate about whether torture should be used to extract information from terrorists continues to percolate in our society. Robert Siegel talks with a father and son who have written a new book, Because It Is Wrong: Torture, Privacy and Presidential Power in the Age of Terror. Charles Fried is a Harvard Law professor and a former U.S. solicitor general in the Reagan administration. His son, Gregory Fried, is head of the philosophy department at Suffolk University. They argue that torture is fundamentally wrong — it is not a gray issue. |

### Dialogue:
Steffy : Many of the buildings , like the Wheeler Opera House , are from the 1880s , when silver mining put Aspen on the map . Now the quintessential ski town , Aspen is unique because the slopes flow right into the heart of town . That s pretty cool , huh ?
Liam : ( Chuckles ) Yeah .
Steffy : Hmm . Hey , explain something to me .
Liam : Okay .
Steffy : Well , my family and I , we ve skied here so many times , but it s -- it s like I m seeing this all for the first time . Why do you suppose that is ?
Hope : I have to find him , Mom .
Brooke : Yes .
Hope : I have to explain to him .
Taylor : Steffy and Liam are engaged , and they ve gone away some place to celebrate .
Brooke : And that does nt bother you in the least ?
Rick : Mom , Sis , what s going on ?
Taylor : Well , we were just discussing the fact that Steffy and Liam are engaged .
Rick : Yeah , how the hell did that happen ?
Brooke : They re on the Spencer jet . Hope was trying to talk to Bill to get him to tell her where they were going , and he would nt do it .
Rick : Well , let s find out the tail number . Look it up online . I can track the flight from there . We ll find out where Steffy and Liam are headed .
Hope : ( Gasps ) Oh , my God . Okay , okay .
Katie : ( Sighs )
Bill : You re upset with me .
Katie : I see you have nt lost your powers of observation .
Bill : Given the recent history with Steffy , I understand why you feel the way you do .
Katie : ( Scoffs ) Oh , I do nt think you do understand . Otherwise , you never would have gotten involved with this .
Bill : You know what ? Liam was more than patient . Most guys would have put their foot down a long time ago .
Katie : ( Sighs )
Bill : It was nt until Hope ended the engagement with my son the other night that was the final straw .
Katie : And that would nt have happened if Steffy had nt been at the bachelor party , which , by the way , you still have nt told me how she ended up there , and why you re keeping Hope and Liam apart .
Bill : If Liam wants Hope to know where he is , he can contact her . But I do nt think that s going to happen .
Katie : Only because he thinks it s over between them . But it s not . And Hope is going to set the record straight as soon as she finds him , and she s going to find him , Bill , because she loves him too much to give up on him .
Hope : Are you sure this is gon na work ?
Rick : Yeah , just log in to the FAA aircraft registry , hit the link . You got ta key in Spencer Publications . That should bring up Bill Spencer s private jet .
Hope : ( Sighs )
Rick : Come on , come on . Damn it .
Brooke : What ?
Hope : Due to extremely heavy traffic volume , the information you re trying to access is temporarily unavailable .
Rick : Please try again shortly .
Hope : No , we -- we do nt have time to try again shortly , Rick . Rick , you have to do something .
Rick : ( Sighs )
Liam : Come on .
Steffy : Wh -- where are we ?
Liam : Home sweet home . Well , for a couple of days , at least .
Steffy : ( Giggles ) Wait , what -- what is this place ?
Liam : The Spencer corporate retreat .
Steffy : Oh .
Liam : Yeah .
Steffy : Well , it s very charming .
Liam : Yeah , charming . Yeah , I ve seen pictures of it at my dad s office .
Steffy : Well , we could stay at a hotel . I dont -- I do nt mind .
Liam : A hotel ? Well , you know my dad . Why stay in a hotel when you have an entire house and staff at your disposal ?
Steffy : Well , you know what ? You re gon na have to tell those staff to go home , because I m gon na be your maid , chef , and gardener all rolled into one .
Liam : Oh , really ?
Steffy : Except I do nt clean , cook , do dishes , or trim hedges .
Liam : H - huh . Uh - huh , uh - huh . So tell me , what is it you do exactly ? Wow , I - I just walked right into that one , did nt I ?
Steffy : Yeah , yeah , you did .
Brooke : Honey , you know your father s only concerned .
Hope : Yeah . About me or Steffy ?
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Rick : Finally . Yes .
Hope : Is the site back up ?
Rick : Uh - huh .
Hope : ( Gasps ) Oh , my g-- ( gasps ) that s it ! That s the tail number !
Brooke : Okay , so where are they headed ?
Rick : They re not . The plane s already on the ground in Aspen .
Hope : Mom , call our pilots and tell them we are leaving immediately for Aspen . Rick , come on .
Brooke : Oh-- ( Sighs )
Steffy : Mm , oh , the mountains , the trees ...
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Steffy : I enjoy the sound of the river ... ( Sighs )
Liam : Yeah . So what do you want to do first ? I mean , we could go for a bike ride , go hiking , fly - fishing . We could take the gondola up to the top of the mountain .
Steffy : ( Sighs ) Oh , I think we should let Mother Nature take its course . I m just so happy . Nothing this wonderful ever happens to me .
Liam : Well , let s see if we can change that .
Steffy : You already have .
Hope : Kyle , hey , uh , how soon before we take off ?
Kyle : We re just waiting on clearance from air traffic control . It should be just a moment .
Hope : Okay .
Kyle : Can I get you anything ?
Rick : A tranquilizer for my sister ?
Kyle : ( Chuckles )
Rick : We re fine , thanks . Hope , look , I know that you love this guy , but I got ta ask . Is he worth all this ?
Hope : Yes . Absolutely he is . Except he needs to know that I still feel that way , and he will , Rick , as soon as we get to Aspen and I straighten all of this out .
Rick : All right . Let s get you to Aspen .
Hope : Okay .
Steffy : This house-- it s amazing . look , I ca nt wait to see inside .
Liam : Oh , go .
Steffy : Really ?
Liam : Yeah , go check it out .
Steffy : Okay .
Liam : Yeah .
Steffy : Uh , I ll be right back , okay ?
Liam : Okay .
Steffy : Mm .
Liam : I noticed you said friend .
Hope : -- Um , I - I did nt mean anything by it . I mean , it just-- it just came out .
Liam : Oh , no . So ... we could be more than that ?
Hope : I m really happy that you came by today . Kind of made my day .
Liam : It kind of made my day , too .
Hope : ( Giggles )
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Hope : Kiss for good luck ?
Liam : Oh , yeah , right , like you need it .
Hope : Okay , fine . Then just kiss me for the hell of it .
Liam : Okay , fine . I will .
Hope : Okay , fine .
Liam : Will you marry me ?
Hope : Yes . ( Laughs ) Yes , I would like nothing more than to be your bride . ( Giggles )
Bill : Look , Katie , I think your perspective is a little skewed here . I mean , Hope is your niece , so of course you have a soft spot for her .
Katie : Yeah , she s my family , and I ca nt stand the thought of Steffy with Liam . I do nt know how she got her hooks into him , but it s not gon na last .
Bill : ( Clears throat ) Well , that s pretty much up to Liam and his fiancée .
Katie : Oh , God .
Bill : Hope had her chance with my son , but she let other priorities get in the way , so she blew it .
Katie : It is not that simple , and you know it .
Bill : What I know is that my son is finally gettin what he needs .
Katie : Oh , really ? Really ? I - it s just all about sex ? I mean , they had something special and pure , and you should stayed out of it .
Bill : Well , special and pure is only gon na get you so far . ( Sighs ) Look , I love my son . I want him to be happy . So whatever I did , I did for him .
Katie : Excuse me ? What else did you do , Bill , other than whisk them away to some private place ? Would they even be engaged if it were nt for you ?
Taylor : Obviously , you re not pleased they are . ( Sighs ) But that does nt surprise me .
Ridge : Where s Hope ?
Brooke : Oh , uh , they found where Liam and Steffy are , so Rick and Hope-- they re on their way to Aspen . They re probably taking off right now .
Ridge : On their way in the company jet , which I did not authorize .
Brooke : Uh ... ( Sighs )
Ridge : Obviously , you did .
Brooke : Yes . Hope was determined to get there . She would have walked if she had to . It s better if they straighten this out now , sooner than later .
Ridge : Logan , we do nt know it s gon na turn out that way . You and Hope are just assuming it will , that the wedding s gon na be back on again . Liam s now engaged to my other daughter , sweetheart . He s made a commitment . Now the two of them are off together celebrating that commitment . Oh , man , it s really possible that Hope s gon na get her heart broken all over again now . That s why I did nt want her goin after Liam . I really wish you had nt let her go .
Hope : ( Sighs )
Rick : All right . Buckle up , Sis . We re about ready to take off .
Hope : You know , we could have been there by now if Bill had just told us where-- where Liam and Steffy were going .
Rick : ( Sighs ) Yeah , that guy s a real son of a-- you know , it s bad enough what he put Katie through . But to push his ex - mistress on his own son ? I mean , come on . Is he that desperate to hold onto Steffy ?
Hope : I know . I know , right ? I - I do nt respect this engagement at all . I mean , Liam was just vulnerable , and Steffy knew it , and she-- the point is , she was there for him when I should have been . I let the man I love down . I let us down . But never again , Rick . Never , ever again .
Hope : I do nt want to get married anymore .
Liam : Hope , this is crazy . This is insane . What are you doing right now ?
Hope : Good - bye , Liam .
Bill : Katie , come
Taylor : I did nt mean to run Katie off .
Bill : She ll be all right . She s understandably upset . Hope is her niece .
Taylor : And she s upset that you re not upset about that .
Bill : Yeah . Look , um , nobody knows how dynamic your daughter is more than I do . And I know these circumstances are a little it unusual . Having said that , I really do think that Steffy is the best thing that could happen to Liam . And you know what ? People will take issue with it , but they ll come around .
Taylor : You re confident about that ?
Bill : Absolutely . And I understand why you would have your concerns . Steffy s your daughter . But , Taylor , Liam is a good boy , and he ll never do anything to intentionally hurt her .
Justin : I just heard from Bromstad . Your hunch was right .
Bill : Hope went straight from Forrester Creations to Van Nuys airport ?
Taylor : You had Hope followed ?
Bill : Is she alone ?
Justin : Rick s with her .
Bill : Are they in the air ?
Justin : The Forrester jet just left . I m still trying to track down a flight plan .
Taylor : I was just at Forrester , and Hope was very determined to find Liam , believe me .
Bill : They re headed for Aspen . That s where I sent Liam and Steffy .
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Steffy : Your father thought of everything . The pantry s fully stocked . So was the wine cellar .
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Steffy : Lucky us . And there is a hot tub on the patio .
Liam : Oh .
Steffy : Cha , cha , cha . ( Laughs ) Here . Look , I know you have a lot on your mind . But , uh , I also know how to deal with that-- pop open a bottle of Pinot Grigio . We got no place to drive .
Liam : Oh , that sounds like a good idea .
Steffy : I know . I m full of em , Butch Cassidy .
Liam : You re just lookin for trouble , are nt you ?
Steffy : Uh - huh . Shall I pour ?
Liam : Oh , yeah .
Steffy : Yeah . ( Laughs )
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Hope : ( Sighs ) Oh , my -- cant this plane go any faster ?
Rick : Come on , Hope . You re gon na give yourself a heart attack if you do nt chill .
Hope : ( Sighs ) You re right . You re right . You re right . You re right . It ll all be fine . We will get to Aspen , and I will find Liam .
Rick : But you do nt know where he and Steffy are . They could be at a hotel or a B & B or a remote cabin . They could be anywhere .
Hope : ( Sighs ) I ll find them .
Brooke : I m sorry . I know you re in an impossible situation . You re worried about both your daughters . Well , Hope is my daughter , and Liam is everything to her . And I m going to support her as long as there s still a chance for them . Call me a hopeless romantic . But when I see when two people are meant to be together , I do nt want to give up on them . It worked for you and me . And I m hoping it ll work for Liam and Hope . How can I not root for my little girl ? Right ?
Bill : It s confirmed . The Forrester jet s headed to Aspen .
Taylor : ( Sighs ) Hope going to Aspen could ruin everything .
Bill : My son is with the woman he should have been with all along . Steffy is Liam s future now . They are the power couple that Liam and Hope could never be . And I m not gon na let anyone interfere with that .
Steffy : ( Sighs ) Out here , it s like the world ceases to exist . ( Sighs )
Hope : I m coming , Liam . ( Sighs ) I m coming .

### Dialogue:
Lexie : I was having some trouble finding the heartbeat , but here it is . Strong and clear .
Jennifer : Oh .
Lexie : I m a little out of practice . [ Squeaking sound ]
Jennifer : Lexie , is everything okay ? Lexie .
Lexie : No , Jennifer , I m afr -- I m afraid there s something wrong with the baby .
Jennifer : Wrong ? What do you mean ? Is the baby just in a position that s making it difficult to see ?
Lexie : No , no . I see the fetus clearly .
Jennifer : All right , then what is it , Lexie ? Please tell me -- what is wrong with my baby ?
Chloe : So , was that your way of trying to convince me to stay ? [ Giggles ]
Brady : Chloe , we both know that you need to go and do this . It s the opportunity of a lifetime . I had to hold you in my arms again . And now I do nt think I ever want to let you go .
Chloe : Well , just tell me you want me to stay and I ll call Madam Marin and tell her to find another singer .
Victor : Where the hell have you been ?
Nicole : Hello to you , too .
Victor : Answer me .
Nicole : I went for a walk .
Victor : If I find out you were anywhere near Shawn , or that you contacted Philip ...
Nicole : Relax , grandpa . Message received loud and clear . Stay away from all male members of your family , literally and figuratively .
Victor : I mean it , Nicole . Do nt take my warnings lightly .
Nicole : Would nt dream of it , love .
Victor : Go ahead , give me one more reason to turn you in for Colin s murder . You and I both know you did it . And I m becoming more and more convinced that you re also guilty of the serial killings .
Nicole : Think what you want , Victor . But you do nt have any proof , and neither does anyone else .
John : All I m saying is the last thing any of us wants is for Tony DiMera to make bail and walk again .
Woman : Mr. Black , Tony DiMera is being arraigned on six counts of premeditated murder . I doubt very much that the judge will be granting bail . You ll have to excuse me .
John : Doc . Come on , we got to talk . We ca nt go on like this anymore .
Hope : But Bo , it s already been decided that uncle --
Bo : What is the matter with Mickey ?
Hope : It s not going to do any good to fight with the man .
Bo : How can he betray us like this , betray himself , defending that bastard ?
Hope : Bo .
Bo : Mickey , what the hell is wrong with you ? How can you represent the monster who killed your wife ?
Marlena : Not now . The hearing is about to start .
John : Fine . Name a time and place .
Marlena : I told you I do nt want to do this here .
John : Listen , I know you blame me for Roman s death because I talked you out of stopping the wedding , but for God s sakes , I m not the guilty party here . The person responsible for murdering Roman is Tony DiMera .
Marlena : I spoke to Tony already . I told him that I would testify against him . I also told him to go to hell .
John : And what , you re hoping I end up right alongside him ?
Mickey : If you d just listen to me --
Bo : Have you thought about how Maggie would feel about this ? Or my Mother , or Roman , or any of the other victims ? Do you think they would admire you for defending the monster who took their lives ?
Mickey : Tony is innocent until proven guilty , Bo . He deserves a fair trial .
Bo : He s a murderer , and we re going to prove it . You re gon na lose this case , and your client is going to the death chamber .
Mickey : We are going to let justice take its course .
Bo : Oh , come on , Mickey , do nt give me that lawyer rhetoric . You know the history here . He has been trying to destroy the Brady family for years .
Hope : Bo , do nt do this , not now , okay ? Bo .
Bo : You re going down , DiMera . We got you cold .
Tony : Such a pity .
Bo : What , that you re gon na fry ?
Tony : That you are so blinded by hatred to see that the real killer is still out there . I tried to warn your brother , too . He , too , refused to listen .
Hope : Come here . Come here . What are you trying to do , get yourself thrown out of here ? Let s go sit down . Come on . Uncle Mickey , I think I understand why you re doing this . And I think you ll understand that I hope with all of my heart you lose this case . I believe that Tony s guilty .
Mickey : I will be happy to lose this case if it means that the serial killer has finally been stopped .
Celeste : Mickey . Mickey ! Why did nt you tell Bo and Hope about my visit from Roman and Maggie ?
Mickey : Well , Celeste , I --
Celeste : But he told me that Anthony was nt the killer . Surely that would have helped to convince Bo that you re doing the right thing .
Mickey : Look , I am the only one that needs to be convinced . Try to convince everybody else . Make them question my credentials . Weaken Tony s case . He is going to be found guilty or innocent based upon the facts and the evidence .
Hope : You feeling a little better ?
Bo : Nah , I ll feel better when your uncle loses his case and that maniac is condemned to death . That s the only way our family and the people we love will be safe .
Victor : Proof is nt that hard to get , Nicole -- or manufacture .
Nicole : You re saying you d frame me for the killings ?
Victor : I m going to the hearing .
Nicole : Exciting .
Victor : Try and behave yourself while I m gone .
Nicole : Aye - aye , sir .
Victor : And when you see Brady and Chloe , leave them the hell alone !
Nicole : While the cat s away ...
Brady : Chloe , you can not be serious . You would ask Madam Marin to replace you ?
Chloe : I m completely serious . Just say the word .
Brady : Well , you know that I would love for you to stay .
Chloe : Good . It s settled .
Brady : Hold on a second . This is the career opportunity of a lifetime . You re not gon na pass it up .
Chloe : Brady , we ve been over this .
Brady : I will come and visit you all the time . You re not gon na be gone for that long . We ve talked about it .
Chloe : It s not enough .
Brady : Chloe , you need to do this . You are not gon na give it up .
Chloe : But this is all I want to do all the time .
Brady : Yeah . I ca nt believe I m going to say this right now , but we have to stop .
Chloe : I ca nt believe you said it , either .
Brady : You need to get packed , and I got to get you to the airport .
Chloe : We ve got plenty of time .
Brady : Chloe , your flight leaves in , like --
Chloe : Hey , you know what ? Trust me , Brady , when you ve been living on the road , it is amazing how fast you learn how to pack .
Jennifer : Oh , my gosh .
Lexie : I m so sorry .
Jennifer : You know , I should nt have let myself be so happy . I should have waited till I knew more , Lexie .
Lexie : No , Jennifer , do nt say that .
Jennifer : I mean , I was told that you should wait till you get past your first trimester , do nt even tell anyone that you re pregnant in case something happens . But I suppose with Jack being gone , you know , I let myself think that this baby is a gift from Jack , and that everything would just go along so perfectly , and I would have this happy , healthy baby . Oh , Lexie . I do nt -- I do nt know what to do . I have to , uh , I have to be strong through this , right ?
Lexie : Right , right , and we do nt know anything for sure .
Jennifer : Well , just that the baby might not survive , and if I do nt terminate the pregnancy , my life could be at risk . It does nt get much worse than that , Lexie .
Lexie : Sweetie , whatever you decide to do , I m here for you , okay ? I ll support you .
Jennifer : Oh , my gosh . How am I going to tell Abby ? How will I tell her ?
Jennifer : Lexie , Dr. Bader -- she heard the heartbeat two weeks ago . You just heard it today . You said that it was strong , that it was healthy .
Lexie : Yes , yes , it is , but as I told you --
Jennifer : Lexie , look at me , and be honest . What are the chances of me carrying this baby to term ?
Lexie : Not good . And if you try -- Jennifer , you have to think of Abby . She needs you .
Jennifer : So you re telling me that if I do nt terminate this pregnancy , I could die .
Marlena : Tony wanted me to testify on his behalf .
John : He was serious ?
Marlena : Mm - hmm . He tried to persuade me that he s innocent , and that the real killer is still out there somewhere .
John : Of course he did .
Marlena : John , he s a sociopath . He has no sense of right or wrong , no remorse for what he s done .
John : You know , you still did nt answer my question . Do you still blame tony as much as me for Roman s death ?
Victor : Marlena , John .
Marlena : Oh .
Victor : I thought I d find you two here .
Marlena : Uh , I m going inside . Excuse me , Victor .
Victor : Any word on whether or not Kate s coming ?
John : No , she s not gon na make it . I talked to Philip . He spent the night with her at the hotel . We did nt figure she d be able to handle this , so we decided it would be better if she did nt show up .
Victor : I agree .
John : Yeah .
Tony : Oh . Are you sure you wo nt change your mind ?
Marlena : And testify on your behalf ? Not on the longest day of my life .
Tony : Hmm .
Hope : Bo , we have to believe that justice will be served , and that Tony will be found guilty .
Bo : If he is nt found guilty , if he walks , I swear --
Hope : Do nt say it , please .
Man : All rise . The honorable Judge Karen Fitzpatrick presiding .
Judge : Please be seated . Good afternoon . This is a hearing to determine whether count Anthony DiMera shall be held over for trial on six counts of premeditated murder . Mickey Horton , attorney for the defense , has entered a motion that all charges be summarily dismissed for lack of evidence .
Bo : Well , that s crazy , your honor . We ve got enough evidence to put that scum away for life .
Judge : Order . Order !
Chloe : I do nt want to do this .
Brady : I know , Chloe . I m sorry , but you have to . You do nt have a choice . Come here .
Nicole : Yuck . Disgusting . She ca nt keep her hands off him .
Nicole : Oh . Well , if it is nt the two lovebirds .
Brady : Hi , Nicole . Have you seen my grandfather around ?
Nicole : He s at Tony DiMera s pretrial hearing . Why ?
Brady : Well , I just wanted to tell him that Chloe is leaving today .
Nicole : Really ? So soon ? Why ?
Chloe : I got a call to replace another singer . I m due to perform in Vienna tomorrow night .
Nicole : Well , before you leave , Chloe , I have something I d like to say to you .
Brady : Nicole , please , no trouble , okay ?
Nicole : No , no , no , no , no . That s not it . I want to apologize .
Abby : You know what ? I heard the baby s heart beat when Mom was here the first time . It was the coolest thing .
Woman : It is pretty cool , is nt it ?
Abby : I ca nt wait until the baby s born , because then can help Mom take care of her -- or him . It s good that I m much older , because I can be a big help this way .
Woman : Of course you can . You re going to be a wonderful big sister , Abby .
Abby : I m sure gon na try , especially cause my Dad s not here . My Mom really needs me now to help raise the baby .
Lexie : As soon as we have the results of the specialized ultrasound ...
Jennifer : I ca nt even believe that this is happening , Lexie .
Lexie : I know . Jennifer , um , from what I ve seen , if you do nt miscarry , terminating the pregnancy may be the only way -- sweetie -- may be the only way to save your life .
Judge : Order !
Mickey : Sorry . Sorry .
Judge : Commander Brady , you ve stood before this court on numerous occasions . Have you ever known me to tolerate that kind of outburst ? No , you have nt ! And that continues to be my policy . Nothing has changed . You will speak when you are addressed . Are we clear on that ?
Bo : Yes . I m sorry , your honor .
Judge : District Attorney Chang , you may proceed .
Chang : Your honor , I d like to call Commander Brady to the stand so that he might detail the arrest and evidence against the accused .
Chang : Why do you believe Count DiMera is the serial killer , Commander Brady ?
Bo : He was found trying to flee the scene of the most recent murder . He was dressed the way we know the serial killer to dress .
Chang : Anything else ?
Bo : A weapon was found at the scene -- a samurai sword . We discovered it belonged to Mr. DiMera . It is also consistent with the wounds found on the latest victim . Prior to this , we discovered Mr. DiMera s PDA contained all the messages sent to the Salem P.D. from the serial killer . All this adds up to one thing -- he s guilty . [ Spectators murmuring ]
Victor : Things do nt look good for your friend Tony .
Roman : Celeste , come on . I told you Tony is nt guilty . You ve got to do something , damn it .
Roman : Maybe he can convince you .
Abe : You ve got to do the right thing , Celeste . People we love are still in danger . Mmmm .
Nicole : This is nt easy for me ... and I want to tell both of you I m very , very sorry for the way I ve been behaving . Whether you believe me or not , I was hoping my marriage to Victor would be a lifetime thing . I really was . And I guess that s something that you and Brady will never have to worry about . And I wish both of you the best . I mean , it is such great news about the opera house , and I know you re going to be a huge star , Chloe . I m just sorry that I might not be around to see it .
Chloe : Thank you , Nicole . I hope you find a way to be happy , too .
Nicole : I wo nt give up until I do .
Chloe : Good for you .
Brady : Uh , Nicole , I really appreciated what you -- what you just did .
Nicole : Hey , I m not all bad . I - I have to cut back on the booze . I will -- I m determined . Stay right here . I have to do something before you go , okay ? See you soon .
Abe : Do nt bother , Celeste . You re the only one that can see us . Roman told me he spoke to you . Now , why did nt you follow up on what he said ?
Celeste : I - I ...
Roman : I know you told Mickey , and he s doing the right thing . But Tony could still be convicted .
Abe : Let s see what s going on .
Mickey : But if there s no forensic evidence ...
Bo : We do nt have any forensics evidence yet to place Mr. DiMera at any of the other murder scenes , but he still does nt have an alibi for any of those crimes .
Mickey : Well , neither do any of the other suspects .
Bo : We caught him running away .
Mickey : Yeah , but that was outside . I mean , you ca nt place him in the room where the murder actually took place , now , can you ?
Bo : Again , not yet . But I am confident my forensics team will come up with the evidence to prove he s the killer .
Mickey : Your lab tests for the victim s blood on the alleged murder weapon have come up negative . Is that correct ?
Bo : More tests are under way , and I believe forensics will prove that my brother s blood was on Mr. DiMera s sword .
Mickey : Well , it makes sense that you d hope for that , because without that , you have no case .
Chang : Objection , your honor . We urge the defense keep his opinions to himself .
Mickey : Withdrawn , withdrawn . Thank you , your honor . No more questions .
Bo : We still have the matter of the PDA , and I was there when Mr. DiMera threatened my brother . He said , quo , watch your back or the killer will get you , unquote . What more evidence do you need ?
Mickey : Your honor , I ask that the witness stop giving unsolicited testimony .
Judge : Your request has been duly noted , counselor . You may step down , Commander Brady .
Bo : I m not finished , your honor .
Judge : Step down , Commander Brady .
Roman : My little brother -- kind of a hothead .
Abe : Why do you think I always had you testify in cases instead of Bo ?
Roman : The D.A. s got nothing .
Abe : She does nt . But how could she ? We both know that Tony s not guilty , and so do you , Celeste . You hold the key to naming the real killer .
Roman : You ve just got to find it .
Brady : All right . Bags are in the jeep . You ready ?
Chloe : Yeah , I - I guess we d better go , then .
Nicole : Oh , hey , hey -- not so fast . Ha . Ah , airplane food leaves a lot to be desired .
Chloe : What s this ?
Nicole : I , uh , I had cook whip it up for you to take on the plane .
Chloe : Thank you , Nicole . That-- that s so thoughtful of you .
Nicole : It s just A ... salad and a couple of freshly - baked muffins .
Chloe : Sounds great .
Brady : Well , you know , Chloe should probably ...
Chloe : Yeah .
Nicole : Okay . Well , fly safe , and break a leg , okay ? Or whatever the expression is .
Chloe : That s one .
Nicole : Um ... I m glad we were able to bury the hatchet and put all the misunderstandings and ill feelings behind us .
Chloe : Yeah . And , Nicole , if you do get your drinking under control , maybe you should get some counseling . Who knows what the future holds ? You know , maybe even you and Victor will work things out .
Nicole : Well , one thing I do know for sure is I m swearing off the booze .
Chloe : I m sure you can do it , and you ll be much stronger for it .
Nicole : Thanks , Chloe . Okay , well , uh ... bye .
Brady : See ya .
Nicole : You re right , Chloe . Who knows what the future holds ?
Jennifer : No , I wo nt do it . I will not even consider ending this pregnancy , Lexie .
Lexie : But , Jennifer , if further tests show the fetus is nt viable --
Jennifer : Viable ? This is my baby we re talking about , Lexie . If there is even the remotest chance ... so no , I - I will not have an abortion -- never . Never . Do you hear me ?
Lexie : I ll have your grandmother come in so you can talk to her .
Jennifer : Do nt tell Abby . I do nt want Abby to know yet .
Lexie : No . No , no , of course not . That s up to you . Jennifer , sweetheart , if I ve sounded insensitive --
Jennifer : Lexie , you re a doctor . I understand that you have to tell me the truth .
Lexie : I m also your friend , and I hope you know my heart is breaking for you right now .
Jennifer : I do know .
Lexie : Okay . I ll get Alice .
Alice : Oh . Alexandra .
Lexie : Alice ...
Alice : Now ... how s Jennifer ?
Lexie : Where s Abby ?
Alice : Oh , she went to get a drink of water .
Lexie : Oh .
Alice : Is everything all right ?
Lexie : Jennifer needs to see you . She needs you so much right now .
Mickey : Your honor , if the court please , I would like to call Count DiMera to testify in order to refute the testimony of Commander Brady .
Tony : Well , I have no idea how those messages got on the PDA that they found on me .
Mickey : You do own a PDA -- a personal digital assistant , though .
Tony : Yes , the PDA they found on me was identical to the one that I own -- I do nt know how those messages got on there . I certainly did nt create them -- which I assume was planted on me in order to frame me , and as far as what I was doing at Tuscany the night that Captain Brady was so heinously butchered -- I was trying to capture the killer and thereby exonerate myself . But , unfortunately , my plan totally backfired due to the overzealous efforts of Bo Brady and his gaggle of keystone cops .
Bo : That bastard s lying .
Judge : Order .
Bo : Your honor , he s as guilty as sin .
Judge : Commander Brady , you will sit down . This is your final warning , Commander Brady . Disrupt these proceedings one more time , and I will have you held in contempt .
Abe : You ve got to do something , Celeste -- now , before it s too late .
Abe : Celeste ... we know you re scared . Everything s going to be all right .
Roman : Abe and I are here to help you .
Judge : Will you be calling more witnesses , Ms. Chang ?
Chang : One , your honor -- a forensic specialist from the Salem Police Department . He s been delayed , but I just received word that he s on his way .
Judge : Very well . We ll take a 15-minute recess while we await his arrival .
Man : All rise .
Bo : As soon as Tek gets here , we ll have the evidence we need to make sure DiMera never hurts anyone again .
Brady : Chloe , it feels like you just got here .
Chloe : I love you so much .
Brady : I ca nt let you go , not even for a little while .
Chloe : You just talked me out of staying . But there s a little bit of time before the flight .
Brady : You know what , Chloe ? We re going to have nothing but time .
Chloe : Yeah ? When ?
Brady : Right now . I ve changed my mind .
Chloe : Changed your mind ?
Brady : Yes , I am coming with you .
Nicole : [ Thinking ] Damn it , no . Brady ca nt go . It would ruin everything .
Lexie : Abby .
Abby : Dr. Carver .
Lexie : How are you doing , sweetheart ?
Abby : Great . Where d Great - Grandma Alice go ?
Lexie : Oh , she s just in with your mom .
Abby : Oh . Can I go in , too ?
Lexie : Um , soon . I just want to give your mom and your great - grandmom some time alone .
Jennifer : Gram , I just -- I do nt understand . Why is this happening ? Why am I being punished like this ?
Alice : Now , wait until we get all the test results , and then we ll see .
Jennifer : I have a feeling I know what the results are going to be , Gram . And then I m going to have to make the second most difficult decision of my life .
Alice : And you can do it . Whatever you decide , we re all here for you .
Jennifer : I do nt know , Gram . I do nt know -- I do nt know if I have the courage and the strength to get through this .
Victor : Marlena must be taking Roman s death very hard .
John : Yep , she is .
Victor : You know , listening to the evidence or the lack thereof , it s quite possible that Tony s innocent .
John : Yeah , it s got to be him .
Victor : Yeah . Maybe you re thinking with your heart instead of your head -- you and Bo both .
John : What are you saying , Vic ?
Victor : Come on , John . You ve been a cop . You do nt really have a case .
John : All right . If not Tony , then who ?
Victor : I do nt know . It always struck me , though , that there was the hand of a woman behind these murders .
John : How so ?
Victor : Well ... the various weapons , the different M.O.S , the fact that so many -- most of the killings were planned and sort of deliberate , and others were -- like Jack Deveraux s , were sort of spontaneous .
John : All right , which woman ? Sami ? Kate ? Your wife Nicole , perhaps ?
Victor : I ll leave that to the police .
John : Yeah . Oh , I want to thank you , by the way .
Victor : For what ?
John : Bringing Chloe back to Salem . I do nt want to speak ill of your wife , but it seems that Nicole was getting a bit too close to Brady .
Victor : Well , do nt worry , John . I m going to get rid of Nicole very soon . She wo nt be a problem for me or any member of my family .
Celeste : Why do nt you leave me alone ?
Abe : We ca nt , Celeste . Only you can name the killer to save the rest of our families , our loved ones .
Celeste : But I do nt know who the killer is .
Marlena : Celeste ... who are you talking to ?
Celeste : Roman and Abraham .
Roman : Doc ... you re taking my death so hard .
Celeste : I know you do nt see them , Marlena , but you feel their presence , do nt you ? Your good friend Abraham , your ex - husband Roman -- they re both right here in front of you , darling . Look and see .
Chloe : No , Brady , you were right . There are reasons why you ca nt come with me . You have to stay here .
Brady : No , Chloe , I do nt have to do anything .
Chloe : You know what I m saying is right . As much as the both of us hate the idea of being separated again , it s the right thing to do right now .
Brady : Yeah , I guess it is .
Woman : Final boarding call for flight 272 for New York with continuing service to Vienna . Final call for flight 272 .
Brady : I love you , Chloe Lane .
Chloe : I love you , Brady Black .
Brady : I -- I ca nt say it .
Chloe : Neither can I.
Brady : So I ll see you soon , huh ?
Chloe : Not soon enough .
Nicole : [ Thinking ] Do nt worry , Brady . You wo nt be lonely for long .
Lexie : Well , I ll go see if your mom s ready for you to go in , okay ?
Abby : Do you think I can still hear the baby s heart beat ?
Lexie : I m sorry , Abby . Probably not today .
Jennifer : Did you find Abby ?
Lexie : Yeah . She s ready to come in and see you . I m going to take the tape for Dr. Bader to see , okay ?
Jennifer : Lexie , I know that you said I would be putting myself at enormous risk if I carried this baby to term .
Lexie : Mm - hmm .
Jennifer : Do nt you understand ? This is Jack s baby . This child is the way that I was going to keep Jack with me forever , so how can I give that up ? How can I end this pregnancy ? Tell me , how can I kill Jack s baby ?
Abby : No , Mommy , no ! It s bad enough that you killed Daddy . You ca nt kill his baby , too !
Marlena : Celeste , I m sorry . I ca nt see anything .
Tek : Dr. Evans , Celeste , you ll have to excuse me . I m running late .
Celeste : Marlena , Abraham and Roman -- they are here . They ve both appeared to me .
Marlena : Why ? What do they want ?
Celeste : Roman and Maggie told me that Anthony is not the killer , and -- and Abraham came to help convince me . They swear that if Anthony is convicted , the real killer will kill again . They said that I know who really did it , and that it s up to me to stop the real killer before he or she kills again . But I do nt know how , Marlena . I do nt know how .
Tek : I got it right here .
Man : All rise .
Judge : Please be seated . Your witness , Ms. Chang .
Chang : The prosecution calls Thomas Kramer .
Chang : What evidence has your team found to place Anthony DiMera at one or all of the murder scenes ?
Tek : None .
Chang : And ... you recovered the murder weapon ?
Tek : Yes . Yes , we did .
Chang : And , uh , the blood belonging to the last victim -- Roman Brady -- was found on the murder weapon ?
Tek : Yes , it was .
Bo : Got him .
Chang : And that weapon was a samurai sword belonging to the suspect Anthony DiMera .
Tek : No . The , uh , murder weapon was the knife used to cut the wedding cake .
Bo : What the ... that s impossible .
Mickey : Your honor , I move for an immediate dismissal .
Bo : No , you ca nt let him go free , your honor . We ve got that PDA , the open threat on my brother , and he s got no alibi for any of the killings . Motive , means , and opportunity .
Judge : Commander Brady , what you say is true , but the evidence we ve seen is -- it s flimsy at best . I d be more inclined to rule if there was someone else who could speak on behalf of the defendant , either to vouch for his innocence or swear to his guilt . Do you have anyone , Mr. Horton ?
Mickey : I m afraid not , your honor .
Judge : Ms. Chang ?
Chang : No , your honor .
Bo : No one would vouch for that scum .
Marlena : Your honor , if it please the court , I d like to be heard .
Shawn - D : Your mom loves your dad . She s going to ask him to move back in before you know it .
Belle : Not if he kills her first .
Marlena : I believe Celeste . Tony has to be innocent .
Hope : This is just helping the other side . Calm down .
Bo : I m not the one helping DiMera .
Nicole : When I am done training you , you will have Shawn Brady s hot body all to yourself .

### Dialogue:
Ashley : You proposed ?
Katie : Well , it sure is a pretty ring .
Thorne : Donna could have kept it . I would nt have cared , but to her credit , I guess she just did nt feel right about it .
Katie : Well , I did nt think she would , though I m sure it surprised a lot of people .
Thorne : Yeah . You know , I m just glad we were able to clear the air . You know , life is just too short to carry grudges . I mean , not that Donna would have been good for me in some ways , but I think that if we would have got married , it would have been a mistake for both of us . I m just glad you spoke up when you did .
Katie : So is that why you stopped by , to thank me again ?
Thorne : No , I , uh , recently came across something .
Katie : A photo ?
Thorne : You know , you and I have been to a lot of Forrester weddings .
Katie : ( Laughs )
Thorne : Check this out .
Katie : Oh , my God !
Thorne : ( Chuckles )
Katie : This was at Ridge s and Brooke s first wedding . ( Gasps )
Thorne : Yep .
Katie : Look at my skin . What a nightmare !
Thorne : Oh , please . You were nt the only one with issues . I mean , look at this hairdo ...
Katie : ( Giggles )
Thorne : And that suit . Besides , I do nt remember any acne . I just remember what a great day I had with you . See ? Look . Who says our two families ca nt get along ?
Katie : ( Laughs )
Ridge : Ashley , I can explain here .
Ashley : I think the ring says it all .
Ridge : Now hold on . Hold on . This is a very , very unfortunate misunderstanding .
Brooke : I do nt know how this beautiful engagement ring is a misunderstanding .
Ridge : It was nt meant for you , Brooke .
Brooke : What ?
Ridge : I m so sorry . I did nt anticipate you finding this . I - I was gon na ask Ashley to be my wife .
Brooke : Ridge , what-- what are you talking about ? You and I were supposed to be ... no . No . This -- this ca nt be happening . What are-- you ca nt do this !
Ridge : Ashley , could you give us a couple minutes here ?
Ashley : Yeah , of course . I ll be down by the pool .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) so ... you re gon na marry Ashley ?
Ridge : Yeah .
Brooke : You love her more than you love me ?
Ridge : I m sorry , Brooke .
Brooke : No , Ridge , you do nt .
Donna : What s wrong ?
Eric : I do nt know . Maybe nothing . I just think that maybe , um-- maybe you should go home .
Donna : I do nt understand . I - I thought--
Eric : I know . I know . And I -- and I know . I know what I said , too . I - I m just-- I m just thinking better of it .
Donna : Because of what happened with Thorne ?
Eric : No . I believe you were sincere when-- when you say you regret what happened with Thorne , I believe that .
Donna : Then why do you want me to leave ?
Eric : I - I just-- I do nt want to take advantage .
Donna : No , you could nt . You -- you could never . That s not who you are . Are you sure that s -- that s what you really want ?
Eric : I think it actually would be best .
Donna : I ll see myself out .
Ashley : Hello ?
Rick : So how d it go ?
Ashley : Uh , Ridge is with your mom right now . I walked in on them .
Rick : What ?
Ashley : It s not what you think . I mean , I - I jumped to the same conclusion , especially when I - I saw the engagement ring on Brooke s finger .
Rick : Whoa . Whoa . Whoa . Whoa . Hang on a sec . Ashley , I m just a little confused .
Ashley : The ring is for me . It s not for your mother . I mean , he-- he wants to marry me , and um , he s trying to explain that to Brooke right now .
Ridge : Logan , I am so sorry . This has got ta be one hell of a shock for you , and it s definitely not the way I intended you to find out .
Brooke : Ridge , this is crazy . You -- you ca nt marry Ashley Abbott , not when we have such a perfect future ahead of us . You re -- you re attracted to her , but being attracted to somebody and being committed to somebody for the rest of your life-- those are two different things . And you do nt feel that way about Ashley . You do nt feel about her the way you feel about me , and you know it .
Ridge : Brooke , you do nt know anything about me and Ashley .
Brooke : You do nt love Ashley the way you love me !
Ridge : Brooke .
Brooke : My God , you ca nt even look me in the eye .
Ridge : I do nt want to lose Ashley , not when I already know what s gon na happen-- what always happens when you and I want to make a life together . We wind up hurting each other , Brooke-- not intentionally , but it just happens .
Brooke : Ridge , it s because of your mother and how miserable she s always wanted us to be . But now she s out of the picture , and we have a wonderful , beautiful , amazing son together . I mean , have you thought about him ? Have you thought about what s best for him ?
Ridge : Were you thinking about him when you ended our engagement last time , when you came rushing back here to Nick and begged him to take you back ? Were you thinking about him then ? Were you thinking about our son s father and what he would feel-- how humiliated he might feel ? Brooke , you dumped me for my half brother without even so much as taking a breath . Do you know how that made me feel then ? Do you know how it still makes me feel ? Because if you did , you d understand why you and I are just not meant to be .
Thorne : So what do you think we should do with that ?
Katie : I know what I d like to do with it .
Thorne : ( Laughing ) Burn it ?
Katie : Actually , no . No , I think I m gon na keep this photo . I think it s a good reminder of how I used to feel about myself and how much better I feel about myself now .
Thorne : I agree . I think we should keep the photo , but for an entirely different reason .
Katie : Oh , yeah ? What s that ?
Thorne : Yeah . Do you remember the song that we danced to that day ?
Katie : Oh , you do nt mean--
Thorne : Yeah , that one .
Katie : ( Laughs )
Thorne : You had a crush on the lead singer .
Katie : I did not ! Okay , maybe a little , teeny , teeny , tiny crush .
Thorne : Mm - hmm .
Katie : But come on . It was the 90s .
Thorne : Oh , the 90s , hell .
Katie : Every girl had a crush on that guy .
Thorne : Please . It was the leather pants .
Katie : Oh , no .
Thorne : You re blushing .
Katie : I am not blushing . It had nothing to do with his leather pants . It -- you know , I like all the music from -- from the early 90s .
Thorne : Oh . Well , then you re in luck , kid .
Katie : I am ?
Thorne : Yes , you are , because there is a club that just opened downtown , and they only play the 90s hits every Thursday night . You want to go sometime ?
Katie : With you ?
Thorne : No , with my mother .
Katie : ( Laughs )
Thorne : Look , I promise I wo nt embarrass you , okay ? I still have a move or two .
Katie : Sure . Why not ?
Thorne : Good . I might even wear my leather pants .
Katie : Oh , God .
Thorne : ( Chuckles ) Yeah . On that note , I m out of here .
Katie : ( Laughs ) Oh , you , um , uh , forgot your picture .
Thorne : No , I did nt .
Eric : ( Sighs )
Eric : ( Sighs )
Donna : I could nt leave . I did nt think you really wanted me to . Was I wrong ?
Brooke : Ridge , if you re worried that I still have feelings for Nick , I do nt . And he s -- he s happily married with Taylor now , and they re going to be having a baby . And there s absolutely no connection that we have together , Nick and I. Just tell me that you believe me , please . Say that you believe me .
Ridge : ( Sighs ) What I believe is that you will always have a place in my heart , Brooke , because of our son and because no man who has ever loved you the way I have loved you can stop loving you .
Ridge : But I ca nt go there again . Ashley is my future . She s the woman that ring was meant for .
Donna : Are you upset with me ?
Eric : Do I look upset ?
Donna : Mm .
Eric : Donna , you are just about the most charming , captivating woman I ve ever met . But um--
Donna : Please , do nt . Do nt tell me it s the age thing .
Eric : No , although you should be a little more careful about sneaking up on a man who s as old as I am .
Donna : ( Laughs )
Eric : No , it s not the age thing . To me , um , age is just sort of a - a state of mind . And right now , I m feeling just about , um , 22 .
Donna : Then I - I do nt see the problem .
Eric : Oh , well ...
Donna : You owe Stephanie nothing , Eric . You ve paid your dues . What s wrong with wanting a little warmth and tenderness ? Just please do nt overthink it . Just ... do what you feel is right .
Katie : Oh , hi . I just made some tea . Do you want some ? Are you okay ? What happened ?
Brooke : Ridge invited me to dinner , and there was this engagement ring .
Katie : Oh , my God . He proposed ?
Brooke : ( Tearfully ) No , it -- it was nt for me . It was for Ashley .
Katie : Oh . Honey , I m so sorry .
Brooke : But he ca nt do it . I mean , he -- he-- ca nt put it on her finger , not when he knows that there s finally a chance for R.J. to have his parent reunited . I mean , he ca nt propose to her . He -- he just ca nt do it .
Ridge : This is not how I planned it to happen .
Ashley : You went to a lot of trouble .
Ridge : Unfortunately , Brooke misread the whole thing , even before she found the ring .
Ashley : She thought tonight was about romance ?
Ridge : All I was really trying to do was set a tone . I did nt want Brooke to be uncomfortable as you and I move forward .
Ashley : Only Brooke does nt want to move forward-- not without you-- and you know what she was hoping .
Ridge : Yeah , but it s not gon na happen . I sure as hell did nt mean for her to find out like this . But none of this is your problem . You had no idea what you were walking in on , I m sure . Tomorrow night , I was planning a , uh , proposal that you would never forget . I guess in a weird way , I already did that .
Ashley : ( Laughs )
Ridge : How would you feel getting proposed to at 35,000 feet ?
Ashley : Does that also entail a private jet and vintage champagne and a romantic destination , maybe ?
Ridge : Mm . I was thinking Tahiti .
Ashley : Oh , Tahiti s nice .
Ridge : Or ... I could just get down on one knee , take your hand in mine , tell you how much I love you and that more than anything in the world , I would love to give you and your daughter ...
Ashley : Mm - hmm .
Ridge : The happiest , most amazing life imaginable . Would you , Ashley , do me the honor , the great honor , of becoming my wife ?
Ashley : Are you sure ?
Ridge : I ve never been more sure of anything ...
Ridge : Or anyone .

### Dialogue:
Jana : Well , hello .
Lauren : Hi .
Michael : Hi .
Kevin : Hey , guys .
Michael : I do nt know about you guys , but I m getting a little tired of Gloria s mandatory family meetings .
Lauren : Yeah , but she did nt exactly let us down the last time . Giving the Abbott mansion back to Jack ? Did nt see that coming .
Kevin : Neither did I. But you have to admit , Michael , she is making an effort .
Michael : Or maybe she s just making an effort to make us believe she s making an effort .
Kevin : Love the look , Mom . Did you join a gang ?
Michael : No . I have a feeling that s a costume that s , you know , put on to sway us . Remember when she remade herself for William ? Cashmere sweater sets , tasteful pearls ? Lasted all of a nanosecond .
Lauren : Sweetie . Be nice for one second .
Gloria : Actually , it s all right , Lauren . He has a point . When I did that for William , yes , it was a costume , people can change . I can change . Inside and out . And I m going to prove it to you . I hope you ll reconsider and let me move back in with you .
Kevin : ( Snorts )
Michael : Funny .
Jack : Hello ? ( Sighs ) Hey , Dad , I m home . No lectures ? No words of advice ?
Sharon : Hey !
Jack : Hey .
Sharon : Okay , it s official . The upstairs is de - Gloria - fied and Noah helped me . Now I told him that if he does nt keep his room clean , we re gon na buy that portrait of Gloria and hang it in his bedroom . ( Giggles ) Hey , what s wrong ?
Jack : Oh , it s -- it s nothing .
Sharon : Jack ? It s over . It s finally over . We have the house back . We have your house .
Jack : I know . I should be planning a celebration . And I want to . I just -- I ca nt .
Sharon : Well ... why not ? I mean , this is what you wanted .
Jack : I always felt my father s presence in this house . I do nt feel it anymore . I think he s finally gone .
Cane : All right , well , I m gon na head back to the office . There s this pitch meeting for a new summer fragrance I have to sit in on and I need to look at my notes . Bye .
Jill : You know , distracting yourself with work is nt gon na help . Lily will still be pregnant , you will still want the baby , and she still wo nt have made a decision . You need to talk to her again .
Cane : Mum , I tried . She just needs time to think about it . That s all .
Jill : You could move into the estate .
Cane : Mmm .
Jill : We d redo a wing . We d baby - proof the whole thing . Loads of people to help you .
Cane : Yeah , but I do nt think help is the problem . She just needs to know if she wants the baby or not .
Jill : Oh , God , she must miss her mother right now . Maybe I could approach her ?
Cane : Oh , no . Please do nt do that . She s under enough pressure already . I told her . I will stick by her and I will .
Jill : That s great for Lily , but what does it do for you ?
Cane : Do nt worry about me , mum . I m fine .
Jill : You told me you want this baby .
Cane : All that matters right now is Lily .
Jill : Oh , how gallant , but it s not true , Cane . If she decides not to have your baby , not only will she have to live with that for the rest of her life , but so will you .
Neil : So , Lily ... you re having this baby ? You sure that s what you want ?
Lily : Yeah , I m -- I m sure .
Neil : What does Cane think ?
Lily : Well , I have nt told him yet , but this is what he wants , too .
Neil : Okay , Lily , listen closely , all right ? On for Cane , you have to--
Lily : No , no , Dad , no . I m not . I swear . I ve just been thinking about Mom a lot .
Neil : Yeah , I am , too .
Lily : I do nt know why , but I feel like she s still here guiding me , telling me the right thing to do .
Neil : Nothing scared your mother .
Lily : Yeah , but I d be lying if I said this did nt scare me .
Neil : Well , sweetheart , my job as a parent is to make it less scary , all right ? And the first thing , you can move back here , all right ?
Lily : Well , uh , I ... I do nt know about that .
Neil : What are you talking about , you do nt know about that . I ll get you a snack . We re gon na sit down , we re gon na make a to do list , all right , to prep for the baby , your school schedule , all that kind of good stuff .
Lily : Well , uh , no , I , um ... I ca nt . I -- I should really go talk to Cane .
Neil : No , Lily , what you should do is just hang out here , talk to me for a little while .
Lily : Dad , honestly , I ... I need to go , okay ?
Jill : Thank God you re here .
Kay : Well , you called , asked me to wait , I did . So what s going on ?
Jill : Lily is pregnant .
Lily : I ve made a decision .
Cane : About the baby ? Okay .
Lily : First , I just ... wanna say how grateful I am that you have been so sweet and caring . Letting me think this through , even if the conclusion is nt what you want .
Cane : Listen ... I will live with whatever decision you make cause I love you . And I will try to understand .
Lily : But it turns out ... that the decision I ve made is what you want . I m gon na have the baby .
Cane : Oh , come here ! ( Laughing ) Oh , how did you-- I just -- I -- I listened to my mom . I know that sounds crazy .
Cane : What happened ?
Lily : I -- I went to her old dance studio and I met her favorite teacher . And somehow , my mom-- she spoke to me .
Cane : I know I d love that lady , I just knew it .
Lily : And plus , you will be such an amazing , amazing father . And ... honestly , I ... I could never have an abortion .
Cane : You ... this baby ... it is the greatest gift that anyone could ever have given me . Come here .
Gloria : I know that moving back in with you is a big decision . That s why I wanted to come and ask you again in person . Now I promise to mind my own business . I will give you two lots of space , but of course I ll be there when you need a sitter for fen .
Michael : Gloria . I am sorry . I do nt wanna hurt you , but things at home are sane now , and I ... we ca nt give that up .
Gloria : Well , what if we it living with ? We ll call it , uh ... visiting , an extended visit . And that way , I can go back and forth from Michael s apartment and even to your place , Kevin .
Kevin : Oh . Mom , no , you re not gon na live with Jana and me .
Michael : Well , Gloria , it s a soft market . You can have your pick of properties . You know , on the lake , in the woods , a loft downtown . Call a realtor . Make her day .
Gloria : Dream home . How can it be a dream home you do nt have a family to share it with ?
Michael : Okay , with that , ladies and gentlemen , I bid you adieu . Lauren ?
Lauren : Yes , um , we ll have you for dinner soon .
Michael : Eventually .
Lauren : Soon .
Michael : Eventually .
Gloria : I guess my grandmother was right . No good deed goes unpunished .
Sharon : See , Jack your dad still is in this house , and he always will be .
Jack : I always thought if I lived here , if I raised a family here , I could one day be the man my father was . I somehow never measure up .
Sharon : Why ? Why , because you ve made mistakes ? Do nt you think your dad ever made mistakes ?
Jack : You do nt have to look too far back for mine . I mean , look at the lengths I went to to get this house back .
Sharon : And here we are . Jack , your dad did nt expect you not to make mistakes . He just expected you to learn from them .
Jack : Sometimes I think I m gon na spend my entire life in john Abbott s shadow .
Sharon : That s not true . You know , john still lives in this house . He s a really wonderful man and he s an amazing father , but around here we know him as Jack .
Jack : Well , I just called in a to - go order for two of the most decadent desserts ever created .
Sharon : Oh . Sweet tooth , huh ?
Jack : Well , Noah s at a sleepover , I have my wife to myself . I thought maybe we could celebrate .
Sharon : I am so in on that . But you know what ? I do think that we should have a big celebration , too . Let s get the whole family together .
Jack : I d love that .
Sharon : Good . Jack ... you remember when nick was lost in the woods , and , um , we all thought that he was dead ? And Noah was very , very sad , that ... and you wanted to help him , but that day on the basketball court you said that your father came to you and told you what to do .
Jack : I remember every word . Let him come to me . Do nt push myself on him .
Sharon : And you did . Now maybe it was your father who told you what to do that day , but ... you were the man who did it . You made my son feel less frightened and ... a little more secure and that was-- that was really beautiful .
Alistair : Hmm . Excuse me ?
Woman : Aah !
Alistair : Oh , my goodness ! Excellent lungs ! Have you ever considered opera ?
Woman : Mr. Abbott ?
Alistair : Oh , good .
Jill : What on earth ? Oh , Lord , calm down , it s not john Abbott . What -- it s not him .
Alistair : Nice chatting .
Jill : What on earth were you thinking of ? You wanna give this whole company heart failure ?
Alistair : Look , I merely wanted to confer with you about dear Gloria .
Jill : Oh . Oh . You have information about the state of dear Gloria s marriage of inconvenience ?
Alistair : Well , I -- I was hoping that you could offer me some guidance .
Jill : You got nothing ? What am I paying you for ?
Alistair : Madam , I do not draw a salary .
Jill : Oh , is that so ? Have you seen your bill for the athletic club ? And room service ? And the Swedish massages ? Oh , not to mention the minibar !
Alistair : You know , such anger ! I thought we had the same goal-- to save Gloria . I mean , you re as hostile as that imbecile Bardwell .
Jill : I do wanna save Gloria .
Alistair : Well , then , unfortunately , he still has a grip on her .
Jill : Well , it s your job to find out what it is . And if you ca nt do that , you re gon na have to start paying for your own eggs benedict .
Jeff : Gloria ? Come on , I know you re in there . I heard ya . Look , this is crazy . You re the only woman for me . And if you re just honest with yourself , you d know that I m the only man for you . ( Sighs ) You know , I can wait all night if I have to . Gloria , I know you want me as much as I want you .
Jeff : ( Laughs ) Sorry , I thought you were my wife .
Jana : Honestly , Gloria , this new look of yours , it s not like you .
Gloria : Even I can learn how to be ordinary .
Jana : Oh , bother ! Really , ordinary is so highly overrated .
Kevin : So what ? Now you re mad at me ?
Gloria : No . But is it such a crime not to wanna live alone ?
Kevin : Last time I checked , Mom , you had a husband .
Gloria : In name only .
Kevin : Look , I know that life on planet Gloria moves at the speed of fright , but , um , I seem to recall your developing feelings for the guy .
Gloria : Yeah , and so what ? One minute he s ready to do the horizontal thing with his girlfriend on my couch . And then he swears we re meant for each other . I tell ya , the guy s schizophrenic . I m done with Jeffrey Bardwell . I m done .
Kevin : Mmm . You wish .
Gloria : I know .
Kevin : Like it or not , Mom , that cretin owns you . He can put you away for manslaughter . Now he s got you all jealous . Look , as long as you care , he has the upper hand .
Gloria : Yeah , maybe he does . But you know something , angel ? Jealousy is a two- way street .
Lily : Hey , Colleen .
Colleen : Hey . Can you talk ?
Lily : Ok ?
Colleen : Uh , sure . I m due for a break . Just give me a second .
Lily : Okay .
Devon : Hey .
Lily : Hey .
Devon : How s it going ?
Lily : Uh--
Colleen : So I have 15 minutes or until table three finds something else to complain about . Hey .
Devon : Hi .
Lily : Um , actually , I m glad that you guys are both here . There s something I wanted to tell you and , uh , I ve already talked to Dad and Cane , um , but I ve ... decided to have the baby .
Colleen : Wow .
Lily : Yeah .
Devon : Yeah . Uh , congratulations , right ?
Colleen : Are you sure about this ?
Lily : You know , I really wish people would stop asking me that .
Colleen : Well , I know , but I mean , there s school and there s modeling and there s everything else you wanted .
Devon : Yeah , you know , I -- I think she can handle it . It s not like she s gon na be raising the baby by herself .
Colleen : Well , true , but I mean , it s Lily who s gon na be having the baby .
Devon : Right . Yeah , she s got a good support system , too .
Lily : You guys , I m -- I m right here .
Colleen : Sorry . So what did Cane say ?
Lily : He s ... thrilled . He s happy .
Devon : Well , he better be happy .
Lily : And he promised that we would go through this together .
Colleen : Right , like those husbands who say , When we re pregnant , and When we have the baby , when really you re the one who s gon na be giving birth here .
Lily : Oh , yeah , that s , uh , that s not very helpful .
Colleen : Right .
Devon : So , what s the deal now ? What , you , uh , you moving in with Cane ?
Colleen : Is that what you want ?
Lily : I do nt know , okay ? I ... I -- I do nt know .
Neil : Well , Dru , looks like our baby s gon na be having a baby , huh ? She said you helped her make the right decision . I believe her . Oh , this is gon na be really tough on Lily . I have no illusion about that . Drucilla ...
Neil : I need your help on this one . Yeah ?
Cane : Neil . Sorry for stopping by without calling . But I figured that you and I need to , uh , talk .
Neil : So has Lily told you yet ?
Cane : That she s gon na keep the baby ? Yeah . Neil , I want you to know , I m with her 100 % on this , and I am-- look , it was her decision , but I m thrilled . I am just ... thrilled that she s gon na have this baby .
Neil : Good . You ready to be a father , are you ?
Cane : Ha . I would ve said no . But now ... I ca nt think of anything else that would make me happier than having this baby . And there is nothing that I would not do for the baby or your daughter .
Neil : Same with me . Whatever she needs . As a matter of fact , Cane , I would like it if Lily moved back in here .
Cane : Is that she said she wants to do ?
Neil : No , no , but at least it ll be an option for her .
Cane : ( Sighs ) You know what , Neil ? In all honesty , my mom and my grandma would be very happy if Lily and the baby moved into the estate .
Neil : Ah , um ... you and Lily -- you re not even married and you have nt been seeing each other that long . And according to my daughter , this baby , sorry to say , was an accident , right ?
Cane : Yeah , Neil , that s right . It was an accident .
Neil : All right , look , man , now I believe you when you say that you care about Lily , that you want this baby , and that you ll be there . But you have no idea how you ll feel when it s a reality .
Lily : Cane is nt like other guys , you know ? He wants me and he wants this baby .
Colleen : But I mean , Lily , what does that mean ? I mean , he goes to work , you stay at home , he gives you money ?
Devon : Or he gives up his job and stays home with the baby while you go to school and dad and Jill send you checks ?
Lily : I do nt know . I don I just made this decision . I have nt figured out all the details yet .
Devon : Well , Lily , you do have an alternative . Okay , you can have the baby , and then find the right couple to bring it up .
Lily : You guys , why is everyone pressuring me ? I -- I mean , listen to you guys !
Colleen : Hey , we are on your side , okay ?
Lily : No ! Dad wants me to move home . Cane wants to be father of the year . Oh , oh , but it s completely up to me , of course .
Devon : Lily , it s cool . Everything s cool , all right ?
Lily : No , Devon , it s not cool , okay ? Nothing is cool . I m sorry .
Michael : You did ?
Lauren : I did .
Michael : You actually thought that I was going to invite Gloria back into the house ?
Lauren : Honey ? If your mother had moved in with us , I would have hurt you .
Michael : Hmm . Well ... she s not . And we re free .
Lauren : Amen to that .
Colleen : I ll see you later .
Devon : See ya .
Jack : Hey . Mmm .
Colleen : Hi .
Jack : Hi , kiddo . How s your evening going ?
Colleen : Do nt ask . Tell me something good .
Jack : Something good ? Uh , Sharon , Noah and I are back in the house .
Colleen : I heard . Congratulations . Are you here for dinner ?
Jack : No , no , just picking up a dessert order to go .
Colleen : Oh , let me guess , death by chocolate ?
Jack : Bingo .
Colleen : Very excellent choice , sir . I will be right back .
Jack : Thank you , miss .
Michael : Ah , would you just make my entire order to go , please ? Thank you .
Gloria : You are avoiding me . You are being ridiculous .
Michael : Oh , the only thing that s ridiculous is you stalking me while I m trying to enjoy a meal .
Gloria : I would nt dream of interrupting your meal , but I do have a small request .
Michael : Oh , well , then request away , as long as it has nothing to do with my guest room .
Gloria : It does nt , Michael . I want you to drop the lawsuit against Jack .
Michael : I m not gon na even ask what agenda you have with that question , but no can do . You are not the plaintiff .
Gloria : But you are the lawyer , and Lauren is fine and we both know that . You could be called as a witness .
Gloria : Listen to me , it was wrong of me to fight Jack to stay in the Abbott Mansion . It is wrong of you to get revenge in court . It will come back to haunt you .
Michael : How karma - esque of you .
Gloria : I m learning , Michael .
Kay : Take this upstairs . Cane ?
Cane : Mm - hmm ?
Kay : Anything you want to talk to me about ? Oh , we could go into my office , shut the door , just the two of us , you know ? My grandson and his wise old grandma .
Cane : Mum told you ?
Kay : Well , I mean , uh ... you know , do nt blame Jill . She was just worried about you and Lily .
Cane : She made her decision .
Kay : Yes ?
Cane : We re gon na have the baby .
Kay : Well , that s a very fortunate child . You re gon na be a wonderful father .
Cane : Oh , I hope so . I m kinda short on role models and experience , though .
Kay : Well , that s an on the job training . Every father gets it . In fact , about two weeks , you ll be doing your own course . You ll -- you ll teach it to everybody .
Cane : Oh , that s encouraging . I think . I wish you could ve seen me when , uh , your Uncle Brock was born . I mean , I was a wreck . Everybody had advice and most of it stunk . So I learned to , uh ... to take some advice from some and ignore the others , as will you .
Cane : I hope so .
Kay : May I ask you something ?
Cane : Of course , you can .
Kay : Do you love Lily ? Do you really and truly love that girl ?
Cane : Yes , I do .
Kay : And you re certain ?
Cane : Without a doubt . Now that she s pregnant , I love her even more . Do you know what the problem is ? Neil wants her to move back home and raise the baby in the house , and look , I do nt wanna insult the man , but it s not his child .
Kay : Mmm .
Cane : It is our child . It is Lily s and mine . And I just do nt know what to do .
Kay : Take me home . I wanna show you something . Come on .
Jill : Break a leg .
Alistair : This is not a performance .
Jill : I will still be reviewing you .
Alistair : ( Chuckles )
Gloria : Thank you very much .
Alistair : Well , my dear ! I hardly recognize you . If you re dining alone , would you care to join me ?
Gloria : Actually , Alistair , I --
Alistair : Yes ?
Gloria : Having dinner with you would be wonderful .
Alistair : Ah .
Jeff : Gloria ? Can I have a word ? The lady has plans .
Gloria : I can give you 30 seconds . And you find us a table .
Alistair : By all means .
Jeff : Stop wasting your time on that loser .
Gloria : That loser , as you call him , is kind and charming and treats me with great regard .
Jeff : Really ? Would he treat you with the same great regard if there were bars between the two of you ?
Gloria : I can send you to prison , Gloria . If that s what you wanna do , just do it . Call the police . I ll be over there having one last great meal before my diet of prison food . With Alistair .
Jill : Jeffrey , hi , what a nice surprise .
Jeff : Hi .
Jill : You look upset . Oh , I hope you re not here to see your wife .
Jill : A little misunderstanding ?
Jeff : Yeah , something like that .
Jill : You know , if you ever need anybody to confide in ... Gloria and I have certain things in common .
Jeff : Do you ?
Jill : Well , we certainly seem to be attracted to the same man .
Jeff : You know , I could use a female perspective , and such a lovely female , at that . Can I buy you a drink ?
Jill : I ll even throw in some appetizers .
Lily : ( Sighs )
Lily : Hello , Madame Chauvin ? Oh , ca va , ca va . Now ? Um , okay , I m on my way .
Michael : If you do nt want this , I m taking it .
Lauren : Oh , okay . You can only have part of it .
Michael : You snooze , you lose .
Lauren : You re right .
Kevin : Can you put that back for me ?
Michael : Well , actually , this is better than just hanging out at the old club .
Kevin : Hey , hey , hey , did you guys read the sign ? No outside food or beverage . Should I amend it to say , no outside food or beverage , Michael and Lauren , that means you ?
Michael : We went to the club for a fireside table and a Pinot Grigio , but the wine came with a side order of Gloria .
Kevin : Mom ambushed you ?
Lauren : Um , the club is Gloria s new home .
Michael : As she likes to remind us and remind us and remind us .
Kevin : I get it . She s laying siege until we back down .
Michael : Oh , she s got new demands . Well , one demand , actually .
Lauren : And it s a biggie .
Jack : Gloria wants Michael to drop the suit .
Sharon : Gloria ? Since when ?
Jack : Since I just heard her ask Michael .
Sharon : Really ? How bizarre . I mean , it -- it s great .
Jack : Yeah .
Sharon : But it s --
Jack : But odd . Yeah . Her son happens to agree .
Sharon : First she gives us the mansion , and now this ?
Jack : Yeah . Suddenly generous , kind , understanding . What s wrong with her ?
Sharon : I do nt know .
Gloria : Come on , Alistair , fill it to the brim .
Alistair : Ooh , all righty .
Gloria : Hmm .
Colleen : Hello , Mrs. Bardwell .
Gloria : Hi .
Colleen : I ll be here to take your --
Gloria : Oh , Colleen , Colleen , it s all right .
Colleen : You look so much like my grandfather .
Gloria : Hmm .
Gloria : Maybe around the eyes a little bit . Alistair , this is Colleen Carlton . Colleen , this is Alistair Wollingford . Colleen is john s granddaughter .
Alistair : Oh , well , my pleasure , my little lovely .
Colleen : It s not just around the eyes . I mean , it s freaky how much you look like him . I m sure I m not the first person to say so , right ?
Alistair : No , you are nt .
Colleen : Okay , well , I ll go get a pen , and I ll be right back .
Jill : Just look at them . I mean , the hypocrisy is staggering . She catches you with this woman from your past in Korea -- a woman you re not even sleeping wit and she rants and she raves ? And now , just look at the way she s throwing herself at that Olivier wannabe .
Jeff : It s entirely for my benefit . She has no interest in that moron .
Jill : Well , I mean , there is that physical thing . That makes sense .
Colleen : Yes , I noticed . It s like my grandfather is sitting right there .
Jeff : I ll take that check . Thanks . Okay .
Jill : Oh , we can split that .
Jeff : Nah , not a chance .
Lily : Madame ? Hello ?
Cane : Welcome .
Lily : What are you doing here ?
Cane : You told me this was the place where you got your answers and this is where your mother loved . So I thought this would be the ideal spot . Will you marry me ?
Sharon : Worth every calorie .
Jack : Oh , I asked them to make it without the calories .
Sharon : Like I said , worth every calorie .
Jack : Oh ... we re home .
Sharon : Hmm .
Jack : We re home .
Sharon : You know ... I think I will throw that party . Let s have a start of summer bash , and we ll invite Ashley , Traci and Billy .
Jack : I d love that . But right now , there is only one way I wanna celebrate . Mrs. Abbott ?
Sharon : Mr. Abbott .
Jack : ( Whispers ) Come with me .
Michael : I have a decent case . I do not need Gloria sabotaging it .
Lauren : You know , there is one way to find out if she s really sincere . Let s invite her to dinner . I mean , for real . Will you two come ?
Kevin : Uh , yeah , yeah , of course , we can .
Jana : Absolutely .
Michael : All right , good , good , and I will bring the dueling weapons . Sables or pistols ? Lauren my wife , issue the invitations .
Gloria : Come on in , Alistair .
Alistair : Why , thank you . May I suggest a nightcap from the minibar ?
Gloria : Sure .
Alistair : ( Chuckles ) Is it my imagination , or are they making these bottles smaller ?
Gloria : ( Laughs ) Alistair .
Alistair : Here you are , my dear . To Gloria , as lovely as the sunrise I ve yet to behold with you .
Gloria : Hmm . Thank you .
Devon : I m glad Lily talked to you .
Neil : Thanks . Me , too .
Devon : I , uh , I brought up adoption to her .
Neil : Devon , that baby is loved already by this family . Why would she wanna give it to someone else ?
Devon : Why would nt she , Dad ? I mean , Lily s just a kid herself .
Neil : All right , listen , son , that s not how it s gon na be for Lily . She ll finish college . The baby s not gon na change that . I will make sure it does nt .
Devon : Well , that s gon na affect you . A lot . And your own relationship .
Neil : Well , it s life . You adjust . When it comes to your children , you adjust even more .
Cane : Are nt you gon na say something ?
Lily : Uh ... IM ... I m shocked . I -- I ... I do nt know what to say .
Cane : You could say yes ? That s my grandma s ring .
Lily : I ve thought about this moment so many times .
Cane : And ?
Lily : And ... in my mind , it was ... always like a fairy tale . My handsome prince down on one knee . And I love you for that , I do . But in my fantasy , the prince ... proposes because he wants to , not because he has to .
Cane : I want to .
Lily : No , Cane , how can you be so sure ? If I were nt pregnant , you would nt even be doing this . Not now . I -- I ... I need time .
Cane : Okay . I ll give you time .
Lily : You have to know , I am telling you this with all my heart , I love you . I do . And you are a prince . You re my prince . I m sorry .
Felicia : Adam came on board at Newman , so now he s rolling on the porch with the big dog and you re in the doghouse ?
Gloria : You get out !
Alistair : What about my clothes ? ! My clothes ? !
Nikki : I guess I grabbed yours by mistake .
David : Poker , not for beginners , huh ?

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Chris : So , you re ready to do this ?
Sheridan : I would nt have said yes if I were nt .
Chris : What about Luis ?
Sheridan : What about him ?
Chris : I know you still love him . Even though he s dead , I know he s still alive in your heart and your mind .
Sheridan : I wo nt lie to you and tell you that he is not . But that does nt mean that I do nt love you or want to marry you . It s time for me to move on .
Chris : I just do nt want you to feel pressured .
Sheridan : Not a bit .
Chris : All right then . [ Knock on door ] Come on in .
Lenny : So , what s the big emergency ?
Harold : Yeah , if it s about you going to rescue your kid tomorrow , we got other fish to fry . I mean , we already found that Otto guy for you .
Sheridan : No , no , no . This has nothing to do with Marty .
Chris : Sheridan and I are going to go get him out of the house where he is held hostage on our own . We need you two guys for something else .
Sheridan : We re getting married tonight , and we would like for you two to be our witnesses .
Rachel : You look shocked , Martin . Who is it ? Who is it that you want to end up on that porch when you re gray and old ? Who is it ? Katherine or Pilar ? Who , Martin ? Who do you really want to spend the rest of your life with ? Pilar or Katherine ?
Pilar : Read my lips , Katherine . Stay away from my husband .
Katherine : I have already told you why that s impossible .
Pilar : Oh , yes , I know . Because you re still pining for my husband . Well , that s your problem . One that you will have to deal with on your own . You ca nt have him -- not again . You have inflicted enough pain and heartache on me and my family for one lifetime .
Katherine : I never meant to , and you know that . Pilar , if you really love Martin the way you say you do , you wo nt hold him to this sham of a vow renewal ceremony . You ll release him . You ll let him go .
Pilar : How dare you ? I mean , where do you get the nerve to speak to me like this ? I m telling you , Katherine , stay away from Martin , because you have no idea what I am capable of .
Fox : I know what I heard . You were talking to someone -- a woman -- just before I walked in . Now , who was it , and where d she go ?
Valerie : Honestly , Fox , you must be hearing things . I mean , as you can see , I m very much alone .
Fox : What was that ?
Valerie : I did nt hear anything .
Fox : Well , I did .
Gwen : Honey , it is late . Come to bed .
Ethan : Honey , I m -- Ill be there in a minute . I just got to check my e - mail .
Gwen : Ok . So , any bites from any potential employers ?
Ethan : No . Not even a nibble . Except -- oh , there was one company that wanted to take me on as a trainee .
Gwen : That is ridiculous . You are the best lawyer in the northeast . You did not respond to them , did you ?
Ethan : No . No , I did nt . But if things keep going this way , I may have to .
Gwen : I would rather starve than you take something so beneath you . You re going to find something soon . I am sure of it .
Ethan : Are you ?
Gwen : Yes . There s not a doubt in my mind , ok ? Even with Theresa trying to have you blackballed everywhere , I have faith in you . I know that you re going to find something challenging in a city that we both love .
Ethan : I hope so .
Gwen : But what we need to do right now is get your mind off of all of this work stuff .
Ethan : Honey , I wish I knew how to do that , really .
Gwen : I do . Come here .
Ethan : Yeah , you do .
Gwen : Come here .
Theresa : Ok , you lost me . Why would you , Ethan s half- sister , give me advice on how to break Ethan and Gwen up ?
Kay : I would nt . I would never do that .
Theresa : But you just said that Gwen is the key to ending her own marriage .
Kay : Oh , I was speaking hypothetically , Theresa . I know how much you love Ethan -- everyone does .
Theresa : And you do nt hate me for it ?
Kay : Hate you for it ? No . God , no . Of course not . Look , I was in love with a man who was nt interested in me in that way , and it took me a really long time to get over it .
Theresa : You mean my brother Miguel .
Kay : Thank God I m past that now . Anyway , I m the last person who should be giving you relationship advice . I mean , come on , you re the queen of dreams and schemes when it comes to Ethan . No offense .
Theresa : No , it s ok , you know ? Everyone knows how much I love him . I ... but you know , Kay , I think I m out of ideas . From the looks of it , I do nt think that Gwen is going to let him go .
Kay : I do nt believe it . Theresa Lopez - Fitzgerald Crane is giving up .
Rachel : Say it , Martin . Say it out loud . The name of the woman who s sitting in that rocking chair next to you 30 years from now . I knew it . It s my sister .
Martin : No , it s not . It s Pilar , my wife . The mother of my children .
Rachel : Martin , why do you continue lying to yourself and to me ? You know that Katherine owns your heart .
Martin : I m done playing your stupid games , Rachel . Now , I ve even given you an answer to a question that l had no business asking . So , if you ll excuse me , I have a lot of work to do before tomorrow .
Rachel : You consider it work to get ready to renew your wedding vows ?
Martin : I just meant that I m too busy to be standing here , talking with you . This is a very big deal for Pilar .
Rachel : Ah , but not so big for you , is that right ?
Martin : You know what ? I m done , I m out . I m done discussing this with you . It s bad enough that you and Katherine live in this house where the ceremony is going to take place .
Rachel : I think it s very fitting that you are in such close proximity to the woman you wish you were committing the rest of your life to tomorrow .
Martin : Look , Rachel . I m not going to stand here and deny loving your sister . Katherine and I have shared many happy years together , but we both knew that we were always on borrowed time . We were both married .
Rachel : Yeah , but she to a barely human monster .
Martin : Granted . And I to a beautiful , innocent woman who did nt deserve any of this . Why is this so hard for you to understand ? I tore my family apart when I rescued Katherine from Alistair .
Rachel : And you are bound and determined to punish yourself for the rest of your life for one decent thing that you did ? Is that it ?
Martin : Recommitting myself to Pilar is hardly punishment . And yes , Rachel , if I have the opportunity to make up for some of the hurt I ve caused Pilar and my family , you re damn right I m going to take advantage of it . I m lucky she ll have me back . Now , I need to make arrangements with Pilar .
Rachel : Liar . It was nt Pilar that you saw in that rocking chair next to you . It was my sister . I d bet my life on it .
Katherine : Despite what you think , I never set out to cause you pain -- never . Martin came to my rescue , and he paid a very high price for it .
Pilar : There s the thing . So did I. And so did his children .
Katherine : We were as surprised as anyone , Pilar , that we fell in love . We tried to fight it .
Pilar : Oh , wait . So I m supposed to feel grateful for that ?
Katherine : No , that s not what I m saying . What I m saying is no one s to blame here . He s not , I m not . It just happened . And as the years went on , our love grew . We were married in every sense of the word .
Pilar : Yeah ? Except you were nt . You were only his mistress in Mexico . That s all . And now it s over , and you ca nt deal with it . Well , too bad , Katherine . I did nt like playing the role of woman scorned either . And if anyone deserves to be alone here , that s you . And if I were you , Katherine , I would start getting used to it , because tomorrow Martin is going to marry me again , in front of family , friends , and more importantly , God . He was never your husband , and he never will be .
Katherine : We still love each other .
Pilar : This conversation is over . Stop it ! I do nt care ! You are never going to come between us again !
Martin : What s going on here ?
Ivy : Oh , dear God . Do nt let him find me .
Valerie : Really , Fox , I did nt hear anything .
Fox : Sounds like it s coming from over here .
Valerie : Ok , ok , ok , ok , you got me . I was talking to someone .
Fox : Ok . Shoot .
Theresa : What did you just say ?
Kay : There s nothing wrong with giving up on a lost cause . I mean , that s exactly how it was with me and Miguel .
Theresa : I m just trying to get back what s rightfully mine .
Kay : Well , you know , it s like you said , Theresa . Gwen wo nt budge , so you just keep banging your head up against the wall . Sooner or later , one of you has to ease up .
Theresa : Well ... you heard it here first . It s not going to be me .
Lenny : Say what ?
Harold : You two are getting hitched ?
Chris : Tonight .
Sheridan : And since you two have been so wonderful in helping me find my son , we would like for you to be our witnesses .
Lenny : So what s the big rush ? I mean , you never said nothing about this earlier .
Sheridan : Well , Chris and I were talking , and we realized that our mission tomorrow could be quite dangerous .
Harold : You mean , going after the kid ?
Chris : I have been wanting to marry Sheridan anyway . Now we just have a practical reason to do it sooner rather than later . This way , if one of us do nt come out of the house , the other can be legal guardian to both our boys .
Sheridan : Not that we expect anything bad to happen , but , you know , just in case .
Chris : And we could nt think of a better way to thank you guys for showing us Otto Krause s hangout . And there s no doubt in our minds that that s where the woman who s kidnapped Marty is keeping him .
Sheridan : So what do you say ? Will you do it ? Will you be witnesses to our wedding ?
Harold : Why not ?
Lenny : Yeah . You know , many happy returns and all that jazz .
Sheridan : Great . The hotel is all set up . We re meeting the justice of the peace out on the beach .
Lenny : Let s roll .
Otto : Enjoy the wedding , people . There wo nt be much of a honeymoon .
Fox : So who were you talking to before I came in ?
Ivy : Oh , do nt give me up , Valerie . If you do , we ll both lose Fox .
Valerie : Ok , if you really want to know , here it is . When I thought I was going too resign from Crane , I put out a few feelers with other companies .
Fox : That s not a crime .
Valerie : Yeah , and one was really , really interested in me . And when I changed my mind , I called to let them know , and the human resources manager , the woman you heard -- she just -- she keeps calling and offering me more money .
Fox : That s not your fault .
Valerie : I know , I just -- you know , I felt really funny . I was worried that you would think I was being a traitor to the family business or something .
Fox : After everything you ve done to help me ? No way . Listen , I m just glad that you decided to stay here at Crane .
Valerie : So am I. I m very happy here .
Fox : Listen , do me a favor . Next time something like this happens , just level with me . Do nt try and hide it . You know , it makes me feel like something weird s going on behind my back .
Valerie : Of course . And thank you for being so understanding , Fox .
Fox : Yeah , no problem . Listen , do you have the numbers on the Asian markets ?
Valerie : Oh , yeah . They re right here . Here you go .
Fox : Thanks .
Ivy : Ow . Oh . The things I do for my family .
Valerie : How brilliant was I.
Ivy : You were bright , Valerie . Not modest but bright . And now to the job at hand -- getting my son out of Kay Bennett s clutches .
Valerie : You re sticking around ? What if Fox comes back in here ?
Ivy : Well , that s just a risk we re going to have to take . We have got to get Miguel back to Harmony because he is the key to breaking up Fox and Kay .
Kay : Ok , so you re not going to give up on Ethan , but what are you gon na do ? I mean , from what I hear , it seems like you ve tried just about everything to get him to come back to you .
Theresa : Yeah . You would not believe the lengths that I have gone to to be with the man that I love .
Kay : Oh , you d be surprised .
Theresa : I got ta come up with a new strategy , you know ? Gwen and Rebecca -- they are-- they re on to all my old ones .
Kay : You ever read these women s magazines ?
Theresa : For advice ? Kay , come on , I could write those relationship columns in my sleep . I m not going to learn anything from a magazine .
Kay : Ah . Here we go . 10 Reasons Men Leave Their Wives . Hm , guess what the number one reason is .
Theresa : But I do nt care . Kay , they do nt know me , Ethan , or Gwen .
Kay : Wow , that s interesting . It says that more marriages split up over money than anything else .
Theresa : You got ta tell me something I do nt know , Kay .
Kay : The number one obstacle being wives who earn more money than their husbands . The worst stress in a marriage comes when the man s male ego takes a hit . Even modern men like to be the ones to bring home the bacon .
Theresa : But , see , that does nt really apply to Ethan , ok ? Gwen , she s become a major homebody , right ? Ethan , he was the breadwinner , so neither one of them is bringing home a paycheck .
Kay : Right .
Theresa : Wait , let me see that .
Martin : You want to tell me what s going on here ?
Katherine : Nothing , Martin . Everything s running fine .
Man : Buenos noches , lovers . Marvin the Marvelous . I ve been hired to plan the joyous nups . First thing s first . Let me see if I can pick out the bride and groom . After years in the biz , I can always tell which is which simply by the way they look at one another .
Martin : You know what ? That s not necessary .
Marvin : No . No need . I can see that you are the beautiful bride just by the way your prince charming looks at you . You make a lovely couple .
Marvin : Now I wo nt fib . You re not the youngest bride and groom I ve ever worked with , but you are definitely the most well - suited .
Martin : You know what ? Listen , this is my wife Pilar . She and I are renewing our marriage vows tomorrow .
Marvin : Oh , now I know you re teasing me . Ha ha . Marvin the Marvelous is never wrong about these things .
Martin : You re wrong about this .
Marvin : I m so sorry . Forgive me . Then you must be a friend of the lovely couple s .
Katherine : Yes .
Martin : Hm . Well , you will make a beautiful bride -- simply stunning . So little time , so much to do . Tell me , my dear , where would you like to start ? The food , the flowers ? Ambience ?
Pilar : Well , I -- well , I -- I do nt know . I do nt know , I do nt know . How do you do it ? You tell me . We had a very simple ceremony when we were first married .
Marvin : Of course . I like to start with your colors and go from there .
Pilar : Ok , fine . That sounds good . Katherine , if you ll excuse us . My husband and I have a lot to do .
Gwen : I told you I knew how to raise your spirits .
Ethan : Among other things , Gwen . You know , just as I was about to go down that path of depression , you remind me what s really important . You and Jane .
Gwen : Oh , honey , I love you . Love you very much . Let s not talk about this whole work thing anymore .
Ethan : All right .
Gwen : Let s watch the DVD we ve been dying to see .
Ethan : All right , DVD . Good idea . I ll get some popcorn . Thank you for believing in me .
Gwen : I love you . Something good s going to come along soon . I know it .
Ethan : Thank you .
Gwen : Oh , boy . I wish I could be as confident as I appear to be . Plus , with Theresa pulling all the strings , I feel as hopeless as you do .
Kay : Hey , I thought you said you already knew everything you could find in a woman s magazine .
Theresa : No , I do , I do , I do . I just -- that does nt mean that I put it all into practice , you know ? [ Phone rings ] Oh . Excuse me . You know what ? I got ta get this . It s out of the area . Hel -- hello ? Miguel . You got ta speak up , Miguel . I can not hear you . Yeah . Yeah , that s better . No . No , no , no . You got -- you got to make it . Please , please . Mama and Papa , they re counting on you to be there . They dont -- they do nt have Antonio or Luis anymore . Please . You have got to make every effort you can to get here . Miguel . You got ta speak -- I cant-- Mig--
Kay : What did he say when you told him how disappointed your mom and your dad would be ?
Theresa : Um , I -- I -- I could nt really hear him very well , but I got the part that he s not going to make it .
Kay : That s too bad . Maria would have really liked to see her dad .
Theresa : And what about you ? I mean , would nt you want to see him , too ?
Kay : Yeah , yeah . I would like to see Miguel . But I do nt have any feelings for him . Fox is the love of my life .
Theresa : Well , you know what ? You re very lucky , because it s obvious that he feels the same way about you .
Kay : Well , it could be you and Ethan , too .
Theresa : I was just thinking the same thing .
Kay : Whoa , what s changed ?
Theresa : You . Because what if -- ok -- Gwen suddenly landed this high - powered , high - paying job ? I mean , that would definitely , you know , put some tension in their relationship , right ?
Fox : What are you telling her , Kay ?
Theresa : Thanks to you , I now have a surefire way to get Ethan away from Gwen and back with me . Thank you . All right , I ll see you later .
Kay : Bye .
Theresa : Bye .
Kay : Hey .
Fox : Hey yourself .
Kay : What s wrong ?
Fox : Good question . What the hell are you doing helping Theresa to break up Ethan and Gwen s marriage ?
Chris : How do I look ?
Lenny : Like John Travolta in that angel movie .
Chris : Just the look I m going for , Lenny .
Lenny : Yeah .
Chris : You look so beautiful .
Sheridan : You do nt look bad yourself .
Justice of the Peace : Are we ready ? As you know , we re here to witness and celebrate the most joyous of occasions -- the union of this loving couple , Christopher Matthew Boothe and Sheridan Crane .
Sheridan : Wait , stop ! We have to stop everything right now .
Kay : What are you talking about ? I would never do that .
Fox : Kay , do nt lie to me on top of everything else . I just heard you and Theresa talking right now .
Kay : Oh . Ok .
Fox : You know , Ethan s my half brother , too . I have respect for their marriage , and I thought that you did , too .
Kay : I do . It s just , I ...
Fox : Then what were you thinking ? Theresa is a mad woman when it comes to Ethan . The last thing they need is her giving them more grief .
Kay : I know , I know . I agree with you .
Fox : I got to tell you , Kay . I m really disappointed in you .
Kay : What ? What are you talking about ? I did nt do anything wrong .
Fox : Then why was Theresa thanking you for giving her new ammo on how to win Ethan back ?
Kay : Oh , my gosh . Maybe it was my fault .
Fox : Maybe ?
Kay : Yeah . I was reading her this stupid little article in that magazine . Oh , shoot . Shoot . I did not mean to cause problems for Ethan and Gwen . I m such an idiot .
Fox : You really did nt mean to cause any harm , did you ?
Kay : No , I did nt . You have to believe me .
Fox : I do . I do . It s just -- I hope that Theresa does nt go around giving you credit for her latest scheme to break up Ethan and Gwen s marriage . I just know that some people are nt going to be as understanding as I am .
Kay : Like who ?
Fox : Like my mother , for one . When it comes to Ethan , she would kill to have Theresa out of his life . I hate to think of what she would do to someone who she found out was aiding and abetting the enemy .
Ivy : Come on . Miguel s got to be out there somewhere .
Valerie : All clear , Ivy . I brought us some coffee .
Ivy : Oh , thanks . Well , I ve had no luck with the computer .
Valerie : I ve had some .
Ivy : You know where Miguel is ?
Valerie : Not exactly , but he s been in touch . According to Theresa s secretary , he called just a while ago .
Ivy : Where is he ?
Valerie : That , nobody seems to know . Apparently , Theresa was trying to convince him to come home for his parents renewal ceremony tomorrow . But Miguel said no .
Ivy : What ? Dammit . That boy is -- is Pilar s only surviving son . What is wrong with him ? He ca nt take a few moments out to show up for his mother ?
Valerie : I guess not .
Ivy : Well , he s still our only hope . We have to bring him back to Harmony .
Valerie : How do you think you re going to persuade him when his family ca nt ?
Ivy : You just leave that to me . First we ve got to find him .
Valerie : You are really hellbent on getting your son away from Kay .
Ivy : Yes , you bet I am .
Valerie : Hey , I ve got no love lost for her , either , but why do you hate her so much ? I mean , she s your fiancée s daughter .
Ivy : That has got nothing to do with this . I already watched one son s life be destroyed by a devious woman .
Valerie : You mean Theresa with Ethan ?
Ivy : And I will be damned if I let the same thing happen to Fox with Kay Bennett .
Man : Hello ?
Theresa : Uh , yes , this is Theresa Crane calling . I m so glad you re in .
Man : Oh , yes . Alistair s wife . How s he doing ?
Theresa : You know , I did nt call to chit - chat . I need you to find me a job for someone I know .
Man : I ll be glad to look at my files in the morning .
Theresa : No , right now . I need an offer that she can not refuse right away .
Gwen : Can you believe how the male penguins look after the eggs for all those months while the female penguins go off and look for food ?
Ethan : Yeah . It s like , you know , any good parents would do . [ Computer dings ] Oh . Um , can I--
Gwen : Honey , check it , check it . You re not going to be able to relax until you do .
Ethan : Thank you . It s an email for you .
Gwen : For me ?
Ethan : Mm - hmm .
Gwen : Probably just some spam or junk . Let me check it quickly . Honey , you re not going to believe this .
Ethan : What ?
Gwen : This is from a headhunter who says that I should meet with an executive from Collier and Company . They say they have a position open for someone with my skills .
Ethan : I -- I did nt know you put out any feelers , Gwen .
Gwen : I -- I have nt .
Ethan : Well , maybe -- maybe they were going through some old resumes and they just came across yours .
Gwen : I guess . That s the only explanation .
Chris : What s the matter ?
Sheridan : I do nt have anything borrowed .
Harold : Say what ?
Sheridan : I have something old and something blue -- an antique sapphire ring-- but I do nt have anything borrowed . That s bad luck .
Chris : Wait a minute . Thank you . She d like it back . It belonged to her grandmother .
Sheridan : Thank you .
Justice of the Peace : May we continue ?
Sheridan : Yes , please .
Justice of the Peace : All right then . Do you , Sheridan , take Christopher to be your lawful wedded husband ?
Sheridan : Yes , I do .
Justice of the Peace : And do you , Christopher , take Sheridan to be your lawfully wedded wife ?
Chris : Yes , I do .
Justice of the Peace : Then by the powers vested in me by this state , I now pronounce you husband and wife . You may kiss your bride .
Lenny : To the happy couple .
Harold : Ditto .
Justice of the Peace : I ve never seen such a happy couple before . Or one with such unusual friends .
Sheridan : I am very happy .
Chris : Me , too . But it is very late , and we re on a pretty tight schedule . We got a big day tomorrow , so come on .
Harold : What the hell ? I thought it was supposed to be rice .
Lenny : We do nt do that no more , idiot . It s bad for the birdies . They do look happy .
Harold : Too bad about tomorrow . Otto ai nt any great believer in the joys of holy matrimony .
Lenny : Otto ai nt any great believer in the two of them staying alive .
Rachel : I do nt care what Pilar says . I know that he loves you more than he loves her .
Katherine : But he never actually admitted that .
Rachel : He did nt have to . I saw it in his eyes .
Katherine : That s what the wedding planner said , but he s committed to renewing his vows with Pilar . What can I do ?
Rachel : Stop it from happening . Or you re going to lose Martin forever .
Theresa : This has got to work . If Gwen accepts the job offer , she will be walking right into my web .
Ethan : Honey , are we going to finish watching the rest of this movie or what ?
Gwen : Honey , I m sorry . I just ca nt stop thinking about this job offer . I mean , when I was out there working , I only ever dreamed of landing a job with Collier and Company . They re in a class by themselves , you know ? And the headhunter made it seem like they asked for me by name .
Ethan : Honey , I do nt know why you re surprised . I mean , you do have a great track record . You have a great reputation .
Gwen : Yeah , but it s been a really long time since I ve been out there , and I never even really considered going back to work now that we have Jane .
Ethan : Wait a minute , so , you are -- you are considering this ?
Gwen : I do nt know . You know , it s very flattering , and you know we need the money .
Ethan : I know , but is nt Collier and Company based locally ? I mean , you wanted me to take a job far away from Harmony , right ?
Gwen : I did , and -- and I still do . You know , but like you said . Nothing s really popping up right now . So , honey , this could be a Godsend .
Ethan : I m just surprised you-- you re going to go for it .
Gwen : How could I not , you know ? Something this big to just pop up out of nowhere when we need a paycheck the most .
Ethan : You are really going to take this interview .
Gwen : You bet I am . This could be the answer to our prayers .
Sheridan : You did all this ?
Chris : Who else but your brand - new husband ?
Sheridan : Oh , my husband . I just still ca nt believe it .
Chris : Well , that makes two of us . I ca nt wait to tell James that the person he loves most in the whole , wide world is going to be his brand - new mother .
Sheridan : Wait till we bring him home his new brother Marty . Thank you so much for being so supportive . I -- I could nt have done this without you .
Chris : And with you , I feel like I can do anything .
Sheridan : And I feel like all my dreams are coming true . By this time tomorrow , I ll have everything my heart s been aching for . A loving husband , my little boy back in my arms where he belongs .
Martin : Oh , thank God he s gone .
Pilar : [ Chuckles ] Can you actually believe he calls himself Marvin the Marvelous ?
Martin : I think that I believe anything coming from him .
Pilar : Martin , I m actually starting to believe this is really going to happen .
Martin : It is .
Pilar : Honey , are you still upset that we re having the ceremony here ?
Martin : Well , you know , I can think of a few places that I d prefer , but if it s ok with you , it s fine with me .
Pilar : Right . It does nt matter where it takes place , as long as it happens , right ? Tomorrow marks our official new beginning . We re going to start over brand - new -- nothing in our way .
Katherine : Oh .
Ivy : You may be a quitter , Valerie , but I m not . I will bring Miguel back here if I have to crawl to wherever he is and drag him back myself . He will be the instrument of Kay and Fox s breakup . You ll see .
Kay : Oh , my gosh . What have I done ?
Fox : Look , come on . Do nt be so hard on yourself .
Kay : But if you can misunderstand and think that I was helping Theresa break up Gwen and Ethan s marriage , your mom could blame me for it , too .
Fox : The chances are she ll never even know that you and Theresa talked .
Kay : Why is it that everything I try and do always backfires ?
Fox : That is not true . Look at us . We re doing great . You have nt done anything to mess that up .
Gwen : Honey , it s all set . I have a meeting with Collier and Company tomorrow . The headhunter said they are really excited to meet with me . This is so great .
Ethan : It s -- it s terrific .
Gwen : Ok , now , you do nt have a problem with me going back to work , do you ?
Ethan : A problem -- no , no . Why -- I mean , why should I ?
Gwen : Just because , you know , you re still out there looking .
Ethan : Honey , look , I m fine with it . Really , I m totally fine with it . I m just warning you . Dont -- dont jump the gun . I mean , it s -- it s just an interview , you know ?
Gwen : I know exactly what I m going to wear to completely knock their socks off . This is going to be so great . I m going to bring in some money , you know , so it s going to take the pressure off you , and it wo nt even matter if you get hired anywhere or not .
Theresa : Theresa Crane .
Man : I just want to give you an update . Gwen Winthrop is meeting with Collier himself of Collier and Company tomorrow .
Theresa : Perfect . She s even more eager than I thought . Let me know how it goes . Soon , Ethan , very soon you will be with me .
Chris : I love you , Mrs. Booth .
Sheridan : That s a good thing , because I love you , too , Mr. Booth .
Theresa : I want you to hire Gwen Winthrop , and you will .
Gwen : Do you not want me to go back to work ?
Miguel : I belong here with you and our daughter , Kay .
Katherine : Be with me .

Jonathan : Stop ?
Lizzie : We re husband and wife . Why does the night have to end with you in one room and me in another ? I think that we should be together . Come on , come to my room . I want to be with you .
Jonathan : Lizzie , we ca nt just jump into bed like a bunch of crazy ...
Lizzie : What , married people ?
Jonathan : What if , you know , Sarah wakes up or Lillian ?
Lizzie : I ll try to be quiet .
Jonathan : I meant , what if Sarah needs us ?

Jonathan : A woman after my own heart . You want one ?
Lizzie : I want you .
Jonathan : Lizzie .
Lizzie : Just wait , just listen , okay . I have been waiting for a night like this , hoping for a night like this . Just think of it as the honeymoon we never had .
Jonathan : You deserve a real honeymoon with someone who is more-- you know , in some tropical setting .
Lizzie : No , no . Okay , I do nt need Paris , and I do nt need Maui . I just need you . You care about me , right ?
Jonathan : Of course I do .
Lizzie : And we made something beautiful together , that little girl .
Jonathan : The best thing I ve ever made .
Lizzie : Me , too , and I love Sarah , more than Roxy , more than anyone . And I have her because of you .
Jonathan : Lizzie ...
Lizzie : Listen , my granddad told me that you were never going to really love me because you ll always want Tammy .
Jonathan : Alan was ...
Lizzie : Listen . I understand what it is like to love someone like that , because that s how I love you .
Jonathan : I know what you want me to say , but I ...
Lizzie : No , you do nt . I will never ask you to stop loving Tammy . I m just asking you to let me love you . I think that in time , as much as you love Sarah , that you ll come to love me , too , just a little bit .
Jonathan : Lizzie , you re not that hard to love .
Lizzie : Really ?
Jonathan : No , not hard at all .
Lizzie : Then show me .

Mallet : Well , would you look at that ? That would be my girlfriend and her pesky camera crew . Everybody say , Hi , pesky . Hi , pesky . What are you doing here ?
Dinah : We were passing by .
Mallet : Oh , really ?
Dinah : Mm - mm . We were on our way to cover other story and we noticed you and these sweet children .
Mallet : You re going to have to turn that off because this is official police business .
Dinah : Well , that did nt stop you and The Law from taping it . You know , this is a human interest story , and it belongs on my show . How about you kids being on a real TV show , you think you would like that ?
Kids : Yeah !
Dinah : Yeah , now who is the best crier of the bunch ?
Tammy : Wow , she s so much bigger than ...
Marina : She is not supposed to make you think of Jonathan s baby .
Tammy : Sorry . She is beautiful Harley .
Harley : Thank you . I wish I could take credit for that . Look at her face . I love when she makes that face .
Tammy : Sarah makes the same ...
Gus : She likes the camera . There you go .
Tammy : You take her . Thank you for letting me hold her . I think I should probably ... I should probably go .
Harley : Okay . Look , look ... I feel so bad for her .
Marina : Yeah . Um , Coop ? Do nt leave without saying good- bye , please .
Coop : You re leaving already ?
Marina : Yeah . I have some business I have to take care of .
Coop : Okay , all right .
Marina : Bye , best friend .
Coop : Bye .
Tammy : Bye .
Zach : Can I put this under the tree ?
Harley : Sure , who is that for ?
Zach : Sydney , so she wo nt feel bad .
Gus : Why would she feel bad ?
Zach : About not being a real kid .
Harley : ( Laughs ) Well , that is very sweet . But just because somebody is adopted does nt mean that mommy and daddy love them less than any other kids .
Ava : I was adopted .
Zach : You were ?
Ava : I was . And my mom , the lady who adopted me , she loved me very , very much .
Zach : What happened to your real parents ?
Coop : Zach , that does nt matter now .
Ava : I just got to know who my real parents are .
Zach : Do you love them ?
Ava : Well , I probably would nt have chosen them , if I had a choice , but I guess I m just getting to know them .
Zach : Maybe you ll get to know them by next Christmas .
Ava : Maybe .
Coop : Zach , I tell you what , you do nt have to worry about that . I m going to make sure that Ava has a Christmas to remember in England .
Alan - Michael : Seems like a long way to go for eggnog and cookies . But hey , I guess Coop knows what s best for you . Where s my niece ?
Gus : She s right here .
Alan - Michael : How is she doing ?
Gus : Good .
Alan - Michael : Look at that face . You get prettier every time I see you . Yeah . You realize I m already mapping out her future at the company .
Gus : Yeah ? Well , I think she is going to be a biophysicist or a doctor .
Alan - Michael : Oh , really ?
Gus : Yeah , yeah .
Harley : Hello . Hey , Mel , I m assuming you re calling with adoption news . How did I know that was going to happen ?
Beth : Here you are . I want to know what you ve been up to tonight .
Alan : Beth , you re going to have to learn to trust me . I ve been doing a little match making .
Beth : Between whom ?
Alan : Jonathan and Tammy .
Beth : Oh , Alan .
Alan : Elizabeth is not going to leave him until she realizes what a louse he truly is .
Beth : And just how do you intend on making her realize that ?
Alan : I happen to know that they re not sleeping together . And why is that ? Because he s in love with another woman , Tammy . So all we have to do is kind of nudge him in that direction .
Beth : No . I wo nt let you do this . This is wrong .
Alan : Beth , you lost your moral high ground in a hotel room , remember ? You ll play along .
Tammy : You should go back to Harley s and spend more time with Coop .
Marina : Not until you tell me what in the world is going on between you and Jonathan . We ll take two beers , please . And you can keep them coming . Thanks . I thought seeing that baby was going to make you happy .
Tammy : It did .
Marina : Oh , please , no , stop smiling so much . You re really starting to frighten me .
Tammy : It s just that Sydney reminded me of Jonathan s little girl .
Marina : I know .
Tammy : I know how much Jonathan wants to be a good dad . That s why I feel so guilty .
Marina : Guilty ? What in the world do you have to feel guilty about ? You gave the guy up , right ?
Tammy : I did , until tonight .
Lizzie : Jonathan , look , I m not trying to pressure you . Come here . I m not going to pounce on you . I just want to help you feel relaxed with me . We could just hold each other .
Jonathan : Yeah , yeah .
Lizzie : We ll make a rule , okay ? No touching , just holding .
Jonathan : Lizzie , wait . I really have to tell you something .
Marcy Rylan , Inside The Light . If I was nt an actor , I would be going to law school . Secret about myself ? I m terrified of interviews . See Lizzie , Wednesday , December 20 , Inside The Light .
Lizzie : You have no idea how much that means to me . We re going to be there forever .
Jonathan : Yeah . Look , you ve been really honest with me tonight , and that s great . And I want to do the same , okay ?
Lizzie : Okay .
Jonathan : You re very important to me . And you look hot , hot in your ... you know , whatever you call it .
Lizzie : Nightie .
Jonathan : Yeah . I do nt want to be with you just because we have a marriage license , you know , or just because you want me to .
Lizzie : I m okay with that .
Jonathan : No , you re not . No , you re not . You want me to mean it , and I m going to have to do that on my own time in my own way .
Lizzie : Oh ! Why do you have to pick tonight to become so damned honest ?
Jonathan : You want a real marriage . So do I. It s just not going to happen overnight .
Lizzie : Or ever .
Jonathan : Lizzie , you know me . If I did nt care about you , I would pin you to this bed and you would nt leave it for a week . Yeah . But I care . I do care .
Lizzie : Great .
Jonathan : Stop it . I want this to be right . And you know , I can offer you something even better than sex .
Lizzie : What s better than sex ? This better be good .
Jonathan : Fully inverted forks . Ready to rip .
Lizzie : That is so hot .
Jonathan : Yeah .
Lizzie : You re really going to let me ride on the back ?
Jonathan : You re my wife . We share everything , right ?
Lizzie : Right , let s go .
Jonathan : Hold on . Come here . Fix your hair . There we go . Got to make sure nothing happens to Sarah s mom .
Lizzie : You re such a safe driver .
Jonathan : Ha !
Lizzie : Jonathan , you are , right ?
Jonathan : I think so , I do nt know . Hop on and find out .
Lizzie : Oh , great ! ( Laughs )
Jonathan : You ve got to hold on .
Lizzie : Okay .
Jonathan : Tighter , tighter . There you go . ( Motorcycle engine roars )
Tammy : Okay , look , it s not like Jonathan and I meant to make love in the barn , it just happened .
Marina : Right , your bodies just smacked into each other .
Tammy : I swear , it happened like that , okay ? One minute he s telling me to leave him alone , and the next ... being with him again , it was everything . I mean , we were together again .
Marina : What happened after ?
Tammy : He went home with Lizzie .
Marina : His wife .
Tammy : Yeah .
Marina : And he left you in the barn to pick the hay out of your sweater .
Tammy : Okay , it was nt like that . I do nt know what it means .
Marina : Tammy , it means that you re completely out of your mind . Look at what you re doing to yourself . You re driving yourself absolutely insane . You ve been depressed all night . You keep checking that phone every 3.2 seconds , praying he is going to call you .
Tammy : Okay , I m not praying .
Marina : Jonathan is a grown man with a wife and a kid .
Tammy : I know .
Marina : And it s probably going to stay like that , all right ? So if you just sit around for the rest of your life waiting ...
Tammy : I ll be the other woman .
Marina : No , you ll be a sucker . Tammy , I was in your shoes , okay ? I know what it s like . And I could have waited for Danny to choose me over Michelle and the baby . But you know what ? I did nt want that . I did nt want that for him . I did nt want it for them , and above all , to be honest , I really did nt want it for myself .
Tammy : Okay , but Jonathan does nt want to be with Lizzie . He wants to be with me . He only married her for Sarah .
Marina : I know all of that . But you need a friend here who s going to actually ask you all the questions that no one else will . How is this going to work ? Not for Jonathan or Lizzie , but for you ?
Tammy : I do nt know .
Marina : Do you think that he ll leave Lizzie and the baby ?
Tammy : I do nt know .
Marina : Do you want him to ?
Tammy : I do nt know . I ... I do nt know . I do nt know !
Mallet : Okay , okay , come on . Enough , enough . I called for backup . You re going to have to pack up this traveling little circus here and move on or I m going to have to ...
Dinah : Or what ? What are you going to do ? You going to arrest us just for me helping a priest and some kids get some toys back ?
Father Ray : Come on guys , it s Christmas .
Dinah : You know what , tell scrooge that . He does nt want to share .
Mallet : Excuse me , fair lady , but I m trying to investigate a theft , okay , and you re impeding upon my police business here .
Dinah : Fine . Go ahead , arrest me , handcuff me to a wall .
Mike : Wow .
Jessica : Cool .
Dinah : Yeah , Doug , start rolling . My show is going to be number one , and it s going to kick your butt off the schedule .
Mallet : Okay ... stop . This is nt about doing television shows . This is about solving a crime .
Dinah : The only crime would be is if your show won over mine .
Father Ray : Mikey , what are you doing ?
Mike : Betting to see if she goes down or not .
Father Ray : Give me that . Guys , it s late . I better get the kids back . But thank you . Both of you , thanks .
Mallet : Father , I ll call you the minute I have anything .
Father ray : Great , you do that . Please , come on .
Dinah : Okay , Doug , we re still rolling ?
Doug : Rolling .
Dinah : Okay , ready ? Hi , I m Dinah Marler , your Light On Springfield , bringing to you a tragic story of loss . Someone stole all of the presents from a children s orphanage here in town today . There are some sad , sad children here tonight , as you can see . But what I m asking you to do is to do something that the police ca nt : To find the toys . Please , do nt let somebody steal Christmas from these poor , poor children .
Mallet : She s laying it on a bit thick , do nt you think ?
Dinah : Officer Mallet is in over his head . You need to help him help the kids . Please give him a call at 555 - 1212 . This is his personal cell phone number . He wants you to have it . Please share any information you have at all . Call us with any sort of tip . Thank you . Anything to give joy to the children , right Detective Mallet ?
Mallet : Uh - huh .
Gus : Yeah , you re losing a personal assistant , but look at it this way : You re gaining a niece , huh ?
Harley : This is bad , Mel . What am I supposed to tell Gus ?
Alan - Michael : She is a heartbreaker . When you re old enough , I ll tell you how to handle guys .
Gus : Yeah , guys like you .
Alan - Michael : Me ?
Gus : Yeah , you .
Alan - Michael : I ve lost my touch . Ava s leaving .
Coop : Oh , Alan - Michael , you do nt have to take that personally . She just got a better offer .
Ava : I am going to miss the job , though , all of the excitement at Spaulding .
Alan - Michael : You could always stay .
Coop : Nope , she s going .
Alan - Michael : Hey , I know when I m beat . I ll e - mail you some numbers , friends and contacts I ve made over there . If you ever need help , you can use my name .
Coop : Thanks , but we re actually looking forward to doing this on our own .
Alan - Michael : It must be exciting to start over without anything to bind you back here .
Gus : Who was that on the phone ?
Harley : It was Mel .
Gus : Is everything going okay with the adoption hearing ?
Harley : Yeah , they scheduled the hearing .
Gus : Oh . That s good , right ?
Harley : Judge Green is taking over the case .
Gus : Stop it .
Harley : Yeah , he thinks we kind of got off easy at the original custody hearing . You want to know what he told Mel ?
Gus : No . But go ahead .
Harley : Now they ll have to deal with me .
Marina : I do nt mean to make this worse . Really , I do nt , but the more you hang out with Jonathan , the more you re going to want to hang out with Jonathan , you know ? And if you do nt settle this somehow ... ( cell phone rings ) Sorry , hold on . Cooper . He s ... what ? Where ? All right . Backup . I ve got to go . Are you going to be okay ?
Tammy : Yeah , go ahead .
Marina : Hug ?
Tammy : Thanks .
Marina : You ll be okay .
Lizzie : ( Laughs ) Okay . So it was amazing . I do nt know about better than sex , but it was ...
Alan - Michael : So this judge , whatever his name is ...
Harley : Judge Green .
Alan Michael : ... He s got it in for you ?
Gus : Yeah . I just ca nt believe that anybody would use a baby to settle a score .
Harley : He hates you .
Alan - Michael : Look , I ll do whatever I can to help . Spaulding s at your disposal , whatever you need .
Gus : Thank you . Appreciate it .
Ava : Wish I could help out , too , any way I could support .
Coop : Yeah , Harley , if really need us ...
Harley : You know how you can help us ? You can go to England safely . We can handle a cranky old judge by ourselves . Do nt worry about it .
Coop : Okay , all right . You guys are going to win this .
Gus : We better .
Ava : Do nt worry , little baby . Nobody s going to take you away from the people who love you .
Harley : Speaking of away , you guys should go .
Coop : Oh , yes , away , we need to go .
Ava : Speaking of away , yeah , okay .
Alan - Michael : Have a great flight .
Ava : Thanks .
Alan - Michael : Look , if I do nt get a chance to see you again before you leave , good luck .
Ava : Thanks for everything .
Alan - Michael : You re welcome .
Gus : Who d ever thought we d get a Christmas present like you , huh ?
Harley : Tell me everything will be okay .
Alan - Michael : It will be .
Dinah : Doug , we ve got to get that footage on air , okay ? Call me as soon as you get out of edit .
Doug : Gotcha .
Dinah : Thanks .
Mallet : Yeah , those poor , poor children . Are you interested in those children or are you interested in better ratings ?
Dinah : Oh , and you are ?
Mallet : Well , I m not obsessed with being a celebrity like you are .
Dinah : Oh , please .
Mallet : Here is the deal : My show serves a purpose .
Dinah : Oh , really ?
Mallet : Yeah . Gives the general public confidence in its local police .
Dinah : I think what your show does is give female viewers the hots when they see your hunky cops dress up in their uniform .
Mallet : That means you kind of think I m hot .
Dinah : En fuego hot . Muy caliente .
Marina : Hold it ! Stand down . Office has the situation under control .
Alan : So , do we understand each other ?
Beth : Sure . I understand that you re willing to break Lizzie s heart in order to get your hands on her baby .
Alan : She s young . Her heart will mend soon . Besides , it s not like Jonathan loves her back .
Beth : Well , I think he will come around if we give him a chance .
Alan : We are saving Elizabeth from herself . That is why we re doing something drastic , to pry her loose from his hold .
Beth : Has it ever occurred to you , Alan , that maybe what Lizzie wants-- what any woman wants-- is to be loved and appreciated , not controlled by anyone , no matter how noble his motives ?
Alan : No .
Jonathan : Hey .
Tammy : Hi .
Lizzie : I thought you d be at your mom s helping clean up .
Tammy : Yeah . Well , I had to get out of there . That party was kind of a little much .
Lizzie : We decided to keep our night going . Nana is watching Sarah , so Jonathan took me for a ride on his bike .
Tammy : I did nt realize you liked motorcycles .
Lizzie : You know , I did nt realize I liked a lot of things until Jonathan showed me how .
Jonathan : Are you here by yourself ?
Tammy : I was with Marina , but she got called into work .
Lizzie : My hair must be such a mess .
Jonathan : A little messy .
Lizzie : I m going to go check it . I ll be right back .
Jonathan : Okay . Being with you tonight was like ...
Tammy : We have to talk about that , Jonathan . About what it meant , and when I can see you again .
Lizzie : Okay , so it just hit me . Why does it matter how messy my hair is when it s just going to get messier , right ?
Jonathan : Right .
Lizzie : Okay , let s hit the road .
Zach : Who gave us this ?
Gus : Your uncle Alan - Michael brought it over from the Spaulding house . The big house .
Harley : Just been careful , honey , because those pieces are really old . That s the daddy . The one you re touching is the mommy . And look at the cute little baby .
Zach : Where s the brother ?
Harley : There s no brother .
Zach : Why not ?
Harley : Honey ?
Gus : Because he has a play date , that s why .
Harley : He has a play date . Why do nt you be one of the wise men ? You can be one of these guys because you re very , very wise .
Zach : Okay , that one .
Harley : An angel ?
Zach : To watch over Sydney .
Gus : Wow , that s perfect because that s what this house needs . It needs a little guardian angel about ye high , right ?
Harley : Right .
Coop : You re remembering something ?
Ava : Yeah , my mom . She loved Christmas trees . We had one every year . And we decorated it with pine cones and shiny ornaments , and it had a big wishing star on top .
Coop : And what did you wish for ?
Ava : Well , sometimes I wished for a little sister , which is really weird . Because after all this time , my wish finally came true . Only I m not spending Christmas with her .
Coop : Right . I ll tell you what , Ava , how about when we get to England , I will buy you the biggest Christmas tree we can find ? We ll get all those decorations and we ll get some pine cones . We throw it up on there and then you can take that wishing star and you can be the one to put it on top of the tree . How does that sound ?
Ava : I like that .
Coop : You like that ?
Ava : Yes .
Coop : Good .
Ava : Okay .
Lizzie : You were so right . That bike ride was such a turn on . It was like sharing something so personal and so intimate . It just makes this moment even more special . Have yourself a merry little Christmas let your heart be light from now on our troubles will be out of sight have yourself a merry little Christmas make the yuletide gay from now on our troubles will be far away here we are , as in olden days , happy golden days of yore faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more through the years we all will be together if the fates allow hang a shining star upon the highest bough and have yourself a merry little Christmas night .

Hope : Oh . Sorry .
Steffy : Hey , um ... are you avoiding me ?
Hope : No . Why would be ?
Steffy : Well , maybe you re not feeling as sure of yourself as your mother wants me to believe .
Hope : Did my mom come up here ? Did she talk to you ? I m so sorry . That s probably the last thing you need right now . I m sorry .
Steffy : No , I didnt-- I did nt see her . And the last thing I need is you feeling bad or me . It s not necessary .
Hope : Steffy , the waiting period is over . At midnight tomorrow , your divorce becomes final .
Steffy : ( Inhales sharply )
Karen : ( Sighs )
Danielle : Maybe we should just reschedule .
Karen : No . Bill is here now , and he s going to see you . We just have to make sure we handle this really carefully .
Danielle : It s an interview Karen .
Karen : With my brother . And he does nt know we re a couple , and I do nt want him to know .
Danielle : I do nt think Are you involved with my sister is a standard interview question .
Karen : ( Sighs )
Danielle : Now listen to me . I know your brother can be an insensitive jerk .
Karen : Is an insensitive jerk .
Danielle : But he s also one of the biggest names in publishing . This could be really great for me .
Karen : Okay , let me talk to him first .
Danielle : Okay .
Karen : Hi .
Alison : Oh , you re back .
Karen : Yes , well , we were on our way out , and we saw Bill pull in , so I d like to see him now , please .
Karen : You forgot we had a meeting .
Bill : Something came up . ( Sighs )
Karen : Some sort of investment opportunity ?
Bill : Right .
Karen : Well , I hope it was a good one-- good enough to blow off your sister for .
Bill : We ll see . You never know how these things are going to play out . I was nt meeting with you , anyway . I was supposed to be meeting with your roommate .

Karen : ( Sighs )
Bill : I told her to terminate the pregnancy . ( Sighs )
Karen : Because you re afraid of losing her .
Bill : ( Sighs ) Katie is the best thing that ever happened to me and the only good Logan in the bunch . ( Sighs )
Karen : Speaking of Logans , you re still not a fan of your son s fiancée ?
Bill : My son ca nt have a fiancée , because he is a married man ... until midnight tomorrow .

Karen : Well , Danielle s waiting outside , so I ll leave you two alone .
Bill : You re not gon na stick around and hold her hand ?
Karen : She s a really talented writer , Bill . She does nt need my help to get a job .
Bill : I ll decide how talented she is .
Karen : Just be nice . Try not to be so ... you .
Bill : Hey , you know , I m not the one who needs to lighten up . You need to find yourself a guy like ... ( Snaps fingers ) Pronto before you start taking in lost little puppies and stray cats . You have to get out of that house and find yourself a hot romance .
Karen : Thanks for the advice .
Karen : He s all yours .
Justin : Marcus , tell me what this is about , and I might know how to answer .
Marcus : Where were you today ?
Justin : Wisconsin .
Marcus : Why ?

Hope : Waiting s almost over .
Steffy : Yes , tomorrow night we will both know where we stand .
Hope : I already do .

Hope : ( Scoffs ) I am focused on my wedding . I am so busy , I do nt have time to think about anything else it is just around the corner , and I do nt even have a dress . ( Chuckles )
Steffy : Have you talked to Granddad ?
Hope : Uh , well , I - I thought that I could count on Ridge .
Steffy : If it makes a difference , my , uh ... my mom says he s really torn up about it .
Hope : It s just when I imagine my wedding , I - Ive always imagined walking down the aisle in one of his gowns .
Steffy : Well , you still could . You could marry someone else .
Hope : ( Laughs ) I do nt even know what to say to that right now , so ...
Steffy : Yeah , I know . I know . Okay . You re right I dont -- I do nt think we should be talking about this .
Hope : ( Sighs ) N - no . No . I mean , you know , I m gon na go . I m gon na go . Yeah .
Steffy : Yeah , good idea . Um , yeah . No , I m gon na get back to work and ...
Hope : Great . I mean , I - Id wish you luck , but ...

Bill : So my sister tells me you re a writer .
Danielle : Yes , features , personal interest stories , a little travel writing .
Bill : Adventure pieces for men s magazines .
Danielle : You looked me up .
Bill : I like to know who I m dealing with .
Danielle : Well , then you know mostly freelance . I ve done a couple of articles for Spencer Publications .
Bill : And what exactly are you looking for , Danielle ? ( Sighs )
Danielle : I want to settle down .
Bill : L.A. appeals to you .
Danielle : It s starting to .
Bill : Not afraid you ll get bored ?
Danielle : Oh , I do nt ever get bored . I can find a great story anywhere . If you look at my work , you can see .
Bill : I know you can write . But what makes you different from every other writer I have on staff ? ( Sighs )
Danielle : Do you have a fashion writer who will climb halfway up the Himalayas to get a story ? I was interviewing this famous yogi in New York , and before I could get a follow - up , he took off , went on a retreat . You do nt need another fashion expert , Bill . What you need is a writer who is nt afraid to get dirty .
Bill : And by that , you mean ...
Danielle : I get what I go after .
Bill : You do nt sound like woman who s ready to settle down .
Danielle : Working freelance is like every job is the first date . I d like a relationship ... with benefits .
Bill : You re ready to move out of my sister s house , get a place of your own .
Danielle : I do nt see what my living arrangements have to do with any--
Bill : Oh , come on now . You vacation with my sister . You re living in her house . You two are ... close .
Danielle : Why are we talking about your sister ? I thought you were interested in getting to know me better .
Bill : I am . You ve intrigue me , Danielle , and that s not easy to do .
Liam : I , uh , saw some press outside the gate .
Steffy : Oh . Seeing you must have set them into a frenzy . It seems like the whole world is wondering the same thing I am . So what are you doing here ?
Liam : ( Sighs ) Is it wrong , me coming here and-- and wanting to talk to you ?
Steffy : Depends on what you have to say . Hope was just here . She , uh ... is feeling pretty confident . And why not ? The end of our marriage is , uh ... ( Inhales sharply ) It s big news today .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Steffy : There s actually , um , a gossip web site that has a ticker .
Liam : You re kidding me . A countdown clock ?
Steffy : I know .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Steffy : But I ca nt really blame them . After all , I , uh ... I have one of my own .
Liam : ( Scoffs )
Steffy : And at midnight , I will hear bells .
Liam : Church bells .
Steffy : Wedding bells .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Steffy : I hope that I ll be ringing in the next chapter of our marriage .
Karen : So ? How did it go ? Is Danielle going to get the job ?
Bill : I have nt decided yet . I do nt want to put myself in an uncomfortable situation .
Karen : Why would it be uncomfortable ?
Bill : I know Danielle is your friend , but I got ta tell you , she s a bigger freak than you realize . You said she wanted to work for me . Who does nt ? But that kind of behavior during a job interview ... ( Scoffs ) She was hitting on me the whole time , Karen .
Karen : You think she was flirting with you ?
Bill : I do nt think anything . She was practically undressing me with her eyes . You know , she s a beautiful woman , and back in the day , pre - Katie , if I saw her at a bar ...
Karen : Bill ... your virtue is perfectly safe . I assure you , she was not hitting on you .
Bill : Uh , number one , I do nt have any virtue . Number two , I assure you she was hitting on me . I know when a woman is hitting on me . It happens all the time . But this is my business , Karen , and that kind of behavior could be a liability . I mean , if she has feelings for me , and I do nt reciprocate-- I mean , you know , I m a married man .
Karen : Yeah , Dani s -- she s not like that . Listen , give her a shot . She s an incredible writer . And I am sure you will see that you read her all wrong .
Justin : You know , Marcus , I do nt know what to tell you .
Marcus : How about the truth ? That you and Bill were talking about Hope . And it seems pretty obvious to me that he has a plan to keep Hope away from Liam . I mean , that s what he was talking like .
Justin : ( Scoffs )
Marcus : That sound familiar ?
Justin : Come on , Son . A - a muffled conversation with a -- from a cell phone that can -- accidentally connected to yours , it was--
Marcus : Okay , can you please stop being Bill s lawyer for one minute and talk to your son ? Just answer the damn question .
Justin : Look , this conversation is over , okay ? I ve said all I m gon na say . Do nt bring it up again .
Hope : ( Sighs ) ( Sighs ) ( Sighs ) ( Sighs )
Liam : ( Scoffs ) You re a nut .
Steffy : Kind of inspired , huh ? The bells will chime either way .
Liam : Listen , Steffy , I--
Steffy : No , dont -- dont worry , okay ? Time is nt up , I know . I just was nt sure when I saw you standing at the door .
Liam : I should-- I should probably keep my distance .
Steffy : Why ?
Liam : I just thought things would become clearer , easier .
Steffy : I guess that means they have nt . Midnight tomorrow ...
Liam : ( Sighs )
Steffy : Time is up . It s either our marriage ends or it does nt . But either way ... it s been a blast .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Steffy : And , um ... just say the words . Say the words , Liam , before that bell rings . It s ... cha ...
Liam : Cha !
Steffy : ( Laughing )
Liam : ( Scoffs ) ( Laughs ) You made me say it .
Steffy : Yeah .
Liam : ( Sighs )
### Summary:
| Bill gloats to Justin that he has Deacon Sharpe right where he wants him . Of course if Liam stays married to Steffy , then he has no use for calling in reinforcements . You do nt throw the Hail Mary unless the game is on the line . Marcus returns to talk to his father and remembers hearing Bill tell Justin that he wants to sabotage the wedding . He asks his dad straight out , he d like to know what is going on between him and Bill . Karen tells Bill that Danielle is a really talented writer . She does nt need her to hold her hand or help her get a job just that he needs to play nice . Bill returns the favor by saying he is not the one who needs to lighten up ; Karen needs to find herself a guy pronto before she starts looking around and taking in stray dogs and cats . His advise is to get out of the house and find a hot romance . Marcus has to pull it out of his dad , but tells him he overheard a conversation that he did nt like hearing with them talking about Hope . At work , Hope and Steffy have a few last minute words .the waiting period is over .at midnight tomorrow the divorce is final . So they ca nt pretend they are not looking at the clock . Whatever happens to one also happens to the other . Karen and Dani return to Bill s office since he was not there earlier . Karen says they are not going to reschedule . He is in the office now and he will see them . They just need to be very careful . He does not know they are a couple , and she does nt want him to know . He can be a bit of a jerk . She d like to see him alone first . Karen is a bit skeptical , of course , that Bill blew her off for some investment prospective . She starts with congratulating him and Katie for the upcoming baby , although Bill lets her know that he s less than pleased . Katie is the best thing that has happened to him and she had a heart transplant so kids were never supposed to be in their future . Hope barely leaves Steffy s office when Liam walks in . She informs him that Hope just left and she seemed pretty confident . Steffy seems pretty confident too . Dani s interview goes well and she tells Bill that he does nt need a fashion writer , he need someone who will get down and dirty and get the job done . Later he tells Karen that Dani is quite intriguing but more of a freak than she realizes . She was hitting on him , practically undressing him with her eyes . Karen stifles her laugh and assures Bill that his virtue is intact , Dani was definitely not hitting on him . He retorts she most certainly was ; he knows when a woman is hitting on him . It happens all the time . Behind his back , Karen rolls her eyes and just asks him to give Dani a shot . She s an incredible writer and he ll see that he read her all wrong . Marcus tells his dad to stop acting like Bill s lawyer and talk to him like a father . Justin says this conversation is over . He s said all he is gon na say , so do nt bring it up again . Steffy reminds Liam that the waiting period is almost over . Tomorrow they will either still be married or not . She bites him on the ear and says Cha - Cha and he adds the last Cha . Three people Hope , Liam and Steffy all waiting for their future tomorrow . |
<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Bellhop : Is the room satisfactory , Mr. Lavery ?
Ryan : Yeah . It looks great , thank you . Here you go . Ok .
Bellhop : I ll take you to your room now , Mrs. Hayward .
Greenlee : Actually , I m gon na stay here to work . You can take my bag to my room , thank you .
Bellhop : Very good .
Ryan : Listen , I know that you re very anxious to salvage the packaging for the new line , but you did nt sleep on the plane . And if you need to go up and take a nap --
Greenlee : And this meeting will determine whether I get Fusion back or not , so there s no way I m going to be able to sleep until it s over . Besides , we ve wasted way too much time already .
Ryan : Whatever you say .
Greenlee : Ohh .
Ryan : What is it ? Greenlee , what s wrong ?
David : Meet your new boss .
Jake : What are you talking about ?
David : I just bought the hospital .
Jake : Is this some sort of joke ?
David : No , no , it s no joke , Jake . I now own controlling shares of Pine Valley Hospital , giving me majority - voting power .
Jake : I do nt believe a word that comes out of your mouth .
David : Ok . Well , here it is . It s all right here . Take a look .
Angie : And who did you blackmail to make this happen ?
David : The deal is completely legit .
Jake : You do nt know the meaning of the word legit .
David : Ok , you know , I ll tell you what . If you have a problem with this , take it up with your father . It was his recent decision to vacate his board seat , along with Adam Chandler and Palmer Cortlandt , that made this coup possible . The hospital was in desperate need of funding . Apparently , there s been some gross mismanagement under its current chief of staff .
Angie : You pig .
David : Ha . Look , do nt worry about it . I intend to weigh in on everything from patient care to what kind of gelatin is being used in the cafeteria . Personally , I like strawberry .
Jake : You re not gon na get away with this .
David : I already have , Doctor , and that s a term I use lightly . But since I have no confidence whatsoever that either one of you is gon na be a team player under my reign , I strongly suggest that you tender your resignations sooner rather than later .
Janet : Oh , sweetheart . Oh , I knew you would come . I knew you would nt let your old mama suffer like this all alone . You know , I think that what I wrote on that trophy that I made for you was really true : You are the world s best daughter !
Amanda : The reason I came is to say good - bye , for good this time .
J.R. : It s over , Annie ! It s over , Annie .
Annie : Get off me ! Get off me !
Scott : Annie , calm down . Calm down . It s me , Scott . Annie , can you hear me ?
Annie : Scott ?
Scott : Yeah . Who d you think it was ?
Annie : Uh , no one .
Scott : Ok , come on . Let s get you up . Come on .
Annie : Ohh .
Scott : Come on , come on . You can do it . Attagirl . Ok , right here . Right here .
Annie : Ooh .
Scott : Whoo .
Annie : Oh , my God .
Scott : You ok ?
Annie : J.R. tricked me . He drugged me . I m gon na go find him . I am not letting him get away with this . Whoa !
Scott : Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa .
Annie : Oh , my God . Oh , my God . Ohh .
Marissa : If you were ready to take a drink , then it must be serious .
J.R. : It is .
Marissa : Tell me .
J.R. : You know that I love you .
Marissa : I love you , too . J.R. , what is it ?
J.R. : I never wanted to hurt you . That was the last thing that I wanted . I ve done something , something bad .
Marissa : Tell me . What did you do ? God , you re starting to scare me .
J.R. : All I was trying to do is protect my father , to protect our family .
Marissa : From what ?
J.R. : Annie .
Marissa : Oh , my God , again with Annie . Why ca nt you just let her go , J.R. ?
J.R. : Because she s gon na suck this family dry if we do nt get rid of her . And that s what I had to show my father . That s what I tried to prove to him , once and for all , that Annie did not love him the way that she claimed to . She never did . So I thought if I could record her doing something incriminating , my father would finally see her for the parasite that she really is . And all I was going for was for her to admit that she wanted me .
Marissa : Wanted you ?
J.R. : Yes .
Marissa : So did she admit it ?
J.R. : But it went too far .
Marissa : How far ? Say it , J.R. !
J.R. : I slept with Annie .
Annie : I should ve never taken that drink from J.R. Ooh . He played me the fool once before . I was so stupid to let it happen again .
Scott : Ok , just forget that now . Just rest .
Annie : No , I do nt want to rest . I want to find Marissa and tell her what a piece of garbage she s married to .
Scott : Well , you might be a little late for that . J.R. s supposedly telling her everything as we speak .
Annie : No . He does nt have the guts .
Scott : He sounded pretty resolved .
Annie : Well , that s just great . If J.R. does tell Marissa , he s gon na put a spin on the story that makes me look like the villain and saves his ass .
Scott : He does nt want to lose her , Annie .
Annie : Well , maybe he should ve thought about that before he had sex with me . And now he thinks he can just toss me off like a piece of trash ? I do nt think so .
Scott : I m not defending my cousin here , but you re not exactly a victim in all of this .
Annie : What ? What do you call being drugged and left to die ?
Scott : He did nt leave you to die . And were nt you blackmailing J.R. ?
Annie : I was just trying to protect myself .
Scott : You should ve known that was only gon na make things worse .
Annie : Are you seriously saying this is my fault ?
Scott : Seduction is never one - sided . You and I both know that .
Janet : We love each other . We need each other .
Amanda : I do love you , Mom . And I know in your own way that you love me .
Janet : Now , that does nt sound like a reason for cutting someone out of your life !
Amanda : But it s what you do with that love . You turn it into something dark and twisted , and it somehow always ends up out of control .
Janet : I know . I know I have made mistakes . I know , but it usually only happens when you turn your back on me .
Amanda : It s the only way I can survive .
Janet : What about me ? What about me , though ? Amanda , you are my only reason for living . From the moment that you were born , I have loved you with every fiber of my being , with every --
Amanda : Mom , it s too much .
Janet : It is never too much . You can never love a child too much ! I mean , look at you ! It s the way you love Trevor . You can not tell me , you -- do nt deny it . Every mother is crazy in love with her child . And if you think you are not like me , then you are lying to yourself .
David : You know what ? To prove to you that I am sensitivity personified , I have gone out of my way to spare you the humiliation of going to personnel by having these resignation forms already drawn up .
Jake : No , we re not going anywhere . Not till we figure out where your lies begin and where they end .
David : Hmm . Good luck with that .
Jake : Oh . Look at this . A patient needs me . Do you remember how that feels , Dave ? I did nt think so . I ll talk to you .
Angie : You know what you are ? You re a cockroach . That s what you are . You get stepped on and then blasted with every insecticide from here to kingdom come , and you just keep skittering right back .
David : Oh , Angela , Angela . Heh heh heh . No one sucks up quite like you do .
Angie : Oh , thank you . You know , you can buy up all the controlling shares you want , but nothing will erase your crimes or reinstate your medical license .
David : I ve already accepted that .
Angie : Oh , have you ?
David : Yes . I have bigger things to think about now . But what you need to think about , Angela , is that I am here to stay . Can you honestly say the same thing ?
Angie : Why do nt you just fire me ?
David : Well , for some reason , my wife seems to have a soft spot for both you and Martin . Do nt ask me why -- do nt get it , never will . But be forewarned . If you decide to stay on as chief of staff , I am gon na do everything in my power to grind you into the ground . So give this some serious thought , Chief . And do nt worry about leaving the hospital high and dry . I have somebody waiting in the wings ready to step in in a moment s notice . [ Chuckles ]
Ryan : Why do you do it ?
Greenlee : What ?
Ryan : Shut me out . I mean , it s very obvious to me that there is something wrong .
Greenlee : Nothing s wrong . I just , ahem , remembered something I meant to tell Madison about some work I left behind , that s all .
Ryan : Really ? So you want to call her ?
Greenlee : No . It can wait .
Ryan : Hey , look , I m all for diving into work , I really am , except I m starving . So how about you ?
Greenlee : I m good .
Ryan : Are you sure ?
Greenlee : Stop pretending like you care . The only reason you re here is to help Kendall .
Ryan : And the only reason you re helping Kendall is to try and keep Fusion . Now , the last meal we had was on the plane , which was hours ago . I think it would be a really , really bad thing if you passed out in the middle of our meeting with Bahia Cosmetics .
Greenlee : Fine . I ll have yogurt . No . Soup -- broth and tea .
Ryan : Are you sure ?
Greenlee : Yes .
Janet : You are so lucky to have a mother who loves you so much , the same way Trevor is lucky to have you .
Amanda : Ok , enough about Trevor .
Janet : No ! Never enough about the grandson ! He s my grandson , and it is my job as your mother to show you what it is you are too young to see .
Amanda : I see just fine .
Janet : Oh , honey ! Oh , you are so much like me : No one s gon na tell you how to raise your son .
Amanda : I am not like you .
Janet : Oh , honey , yes , you are . I have seen you . You love with your whole heart . You just wait . As Trevor gets older , all your love for him is just gon na grow , and it s gon na get bigger and it s gon na get better just like mine did for you . And you re gon na want him to have everything that he deserves , and you will do whatever it takes to make sure that he gets it .
Amanda : I will not do to Trevor what you did to me .
Janet : Everything I did for you I did out of love .
Amanda : You killed my father !
Janet : That was necessary .
Amanda : How can you say that ? My dad never did anything to deserve what you did to him ! He was the best father and the best parent any girl could ever ask for . And I loved him so much , and I still miss him , Mom .
Janet : That s why he had to die , because you loved him more than you loved me !
Amanda : What ?
Janet : It s true . You called him more and you went to visit him more , and , you know , I would just be wasting away in those snake pits waiting for you ! I missed you so much I did nt think I could even breathe without you ! And then when I finally did find a way to come back to Pine Valley just to be with you , what did you do ? You begged Daddy dear ! You begged him to protect you from me ! From me , your own mother ! No , Amanda . No . It is your fault that your father had to die , because you just did not love me enough .
Greenlee : Whew . A splash of cold water does wonders for jetlag .
Ryan : Glad to hear it .
Greenlee : Yeah . Let s get to work .
Ryan : Ok . Well , like I suggested on the plane , I think the best strategy to deal with the Bahia people is to suggest alternative packaging , packaging that s gon na enhance their product while at the same time allow you to use what you already have in place for Fusion Natural . Right ? And if they go for it , and I really believe they will , I think that you re gon na be able to make your launch date and have a fair shot at getting Fusion back . So what do you think ? Greenlee ? Hey . You re in bad shape , are nt you ?
Greenlee : I think better lying down , that s all .
Ryan : Since when ?
Greenlee : Since the first thing Solana s gon na ask about is alternative packaging and what we re talking about , we should probably come up with a few options .
Ryan : Ok . Well , my first thought , my first idea , was something green . You know , something environmental . Something like recycled paper packaging and natural - dye labels to sort of , like , appeal to their social conscience a little bit , and I think they re gon na love it . Why would nt they love something like that ? Because it would be really performing a public service and at the same time maybe turning a profit .
Greenlee : Would you stop ?
Ryan : Why ? I thought you would kind of dig the whole environmental stance .
Greenlee : What I do nt dig is you pacing back and forth . You re making me sick .
Ryan : What is going on with you ?
Greenlee : I m fine . See ? Ooh .
Ryan : You re not fine . Look at you .
Ryan : That s the room service , ok ? I want you to stay put . Do nt move .
Bellhop : Would you like me to set up ?
Ryan : Yeah . Yeah , yeah , sure . Go ahead .
Annie : Unbelievable . You find me drugged up by your cousin and then basically call me a whore ?
Scott : That is not at all what I said .
Annie : Just so you know , J.R. came on to me .
Scott : Really ? Are you saying he forced himself on you ?
Annie : No , he did nt force himself on me . But , yes , I went for it , ok ? He took advantage of me . He worked the connection we had .
Scott : What connection ?
Annie : I sacrificed part of my body to save his life , so we re forever connected . [ Sighs ]
Scott : Oh , my God .
Annie : What ?
Scott : You have feelings for him , do nt you ?
Annie : Yes , ok , I do . But he was cruel , and he played on those feelings , and I was stupid , and I fell for it . God help me , I fell for him .
Marissa : Aah ! You slept with Annie ? !
J.R. : I m so sorry .
Marissa : But you said you hated her .
J.R. : I did . I was nt thinking .
Marissa : At all or just about us ? ! My God . Oh , my God , how could you do that ? You know , when I first met you , I was in such a bad place . And when we finally got together , it was like we had saved each other .
J.R. : We did . We did . If I did nt have you , I do nt know if I would ve survived .
Marissa : You almost died ! You know , when I sat at your bedside and said good- bye to you , I knew that I was saying good - bye to the love of my life ! I adopted your son ! And then a miracle happened and you made it , J.R. We made it . We had a chance at something so wonderful .
J.R. : We do . I love you . I do nt want to lose you .
Marissa : No , it is too late . You killed that chance . You killed us .
Scott : Maybe it s the drugs that has you turning this into some trashy romance novel , but even you have to admit this is getting a little confusing . First , Adam was the love of your life , and then you come on to me , and now you re falling for J.R.
Annie : You were different , special .
Scott : Oh , no , no , no . We are not going there again .
Annie : You know , I really thought you would have some compassion .
Scott : All I am saying , Annie , is that you are throwing out a lot of love in a bunch of different directions .
Annie : I ve been drawn to all of you for who you are and what you re a part of -- this amazing , unique family . I mean , you re all really messed up for sure and definitely have your own issues , but you re also driven and committed and passionate . And even when you re all up against each other , you still somehow end up protecting one another .
Scott : It does nt always feel that way .
Annie : I was never a part of that . I never had that growing up : Unconditional love and support . That s what I want . I want that for myself and for Emma .
Scott : I do nt think sleeping with your husband s son was the way to go about getting it .
Annie : I know I messed up , ok ? I know I messed up . What do you want me to do ? You think I should just cut my losses and walk away ?
Scott : You may not have a choice .
Annie : I ca nt leave . I still want to be part of the Chandlers , to love and be loved by all of you . And the thing is you all try to resist me , but in the end , you all end up wanting me , too .
J.R. : I did hate Annie . I still do . But right now I hate myself even more . I was so determined to get her out of our lives I ended up hurting the person that I --
Marissa : Just stop it ! Just stop it ! I can not listen to any more ! It is too late , J.R. It s over .
J.R. : No , do nt say that ! Look , I made a mistake , ok ? I made a huge , horrible mistake ! It will never happen again .
Marissa : It happened ! God , the thought of you and -- I have to go .
J.R. : No , please . Please do nt leave me . I can work this out . We can work this out .
Marissa : What ? By pretending that it did nt happen ? Maybe you can do that . Obviously , you ve been doing it ! I ca nt . [ Sobs ]
A.J. : Why are you crying ?
Jesse : Hey , baby , what s up ? I came as soon as I got your message .
Angie : I m going crazy ! You know what ? I almost think you better lock me up or something , because I am this close to murdering that trifling - ass David Hayward !
Greenlee s voice : You re completely overreacting .
David s voice : Huh . Really ? To which part ? My wife heading off to Rio with her ex or the fact that she did nt tell me about it ?
Greenlee : Both .
Ryan : Hey , do nt bite my head off for asking . I just want to make sure that you re ok .
Greenlee : No , I m not . I m sick , and I do nt get sick .
Ryan : Then why do nt you go try lying down again , ok ?
Greenlee : No . There s too much to do .
Ryan : I ve already prepped for the meeting . I can present to Solana and the boys , ok , while you stay here . You just take care of yourself and rest .
Greenlee : I m not gon na let whatever this is keep me from that meeting . Whew . Oh , my God , this ca nt be happening .
Ryan : I m calling a doctor .
Greenlee : No , I do nt need a doctor . I remember the last time I felt like this . I ca nt go through it again . I just ca nt .
Ryan : Go through what again ?
Greenlee : I ca nt be pregnant .
Amanda : I will never love the way that you do .
Janet : You make it sound like a bad thing .
Amanda : Well , that s the way it feels .
Janet : Well , just have no idea how good you ve got it .
Amanda : Good ? Good love does not go around waving a gun around and hurting and killing people . Love is pure and safe and secure , and it s what I have with Jake and Trevor . And when it becomes an obsession like it does with you , Mom , love dies .
Janet : No , that s just not true . It could never die because you re my child !
Amanda : And I have tried to love you . I have tried , but it s never enough . So -- so I m done .
Janet : What are you saying ?
Amanda : Good - bye .
Janet : No , you ca nt . You can not cut me off .
Amanda : Let go of me .
Janet : You can not do this because I am a part of you ! I will always be a part of you just like you are a part of Trevor forever and ever ! And you love him just as fiercely as I love you because , like it or not , baby girl , you are your mother s daughter ! Oh , my God , my head ! Oh , God !
Jake : All right , the patient s had a seizure . Pick up the nasal can . You ll set it up with 4 liters of O2 . And then I want you to draw up 2 milligrams of lorazepam for an IV push . And when you re done , I want you to call for a neuro consult , ok ? Get an IV of keppra going , run it over 20 minutes .
Jesse : This man is like a cockroach . You just ca nt kill him . He just keeps coming at you .
Angie : I said the same thing .
Jesse : Liza -- I bet you this is what she s gloating about , huh ?
Angie : I have no doubt that Liza s the one that helped David pull this off . And now he s back , ready to use his new power to dismantle everything I ve done .
Jesse : I should ve taken that man out when I had the chance .
Angie : Oh , God , Jesse , what am I gon na do ? How will I stay in this position knowing that I have to deal with him ?
Jesse : Let s just take this one small victory at a time . At least , thanks to you , David will never , ever be able to practice medicine legally again . Not ever .
Greenlee : It s not possible . Well , it is , but -- we re here to work , so let s work .
Ryan : You do nt have to .
Greenlee : I m fine .
Ryan : No , you re not fine , Greenlee . You re not . You re sick as a dog , ok ? You need to let me go take this meeting . And you stay here --
Greenlee : No , no , no , I need to work . I need to work , because if I do nt , I ll start thinking , and I ca nt think . Because if I do , if I am -- if I am pregnant , I already know I ca nt carry to term . I lost our baby , and I ca nt go through that again .
Greenlee : Ahem . Hello , David .
David : Hey . I was nt sure you d answer . I called your room and -- but you were nt there .
Greenlee : I was probably checking in . The flight was delayed . We got in later than expected .
David : Oh . Is everything all right ? You seem a bit , I do nt know , strange .
Greenlee : Just tired . Look , I need to prep for this meeting . I ll call you later , ok ?
Annie : Ohh .
Scott : You sure you re ok to leave ?
Annie : Yeah . Yeah . I m just gon na need a ride home .
Scott : I m not so sure that s a good idea . I told you , if J.R. followed through with what he said he was going to do , then Marissa knows about the two of you .
Annie : I can handle Marissa .
Scott : Yeah , I do nt think that she can handle you , and she should nt have to . The kindest thing to do right now is to stay away .
Annie : Wow . You know , I am so sick of hearing that . My entire life I ve been pushed aside or ignored . It s just so unfair . You do nt know what that feels like . You had a father who did nt even know the definition of the word cruel . You have no idea what it s like to always feel like you re this burden or you re unwanted .
Scott : My father was an incredible man . I was very lucky . I know .
Annie : Well , I was nt , and I deserve that . I deserve to feel wanted . I know that I ve done some really , really horrible things , ok , but it does nt mean that I do nt deserve to be loved . I do , and I will not give up until everybody sees that .
Marissa : I was crying because I have to go away . I just need to figure out a few things .
A.J. : Can I come with you ?
Marissa : Oh , sweetheart , this is something I need to do on my own .
A.J. : But you re coming back , right ?
Marissa : I m not sure . But I will still see you , and we ll spend lots of time together .
A.J. : I do nt want you to go .
J.R. : Hey , buddy ? I ll still be here .
Marissa : Look , I want you to know that no matter what happens , I love you , and I always will .
J.R. : We both will .
A.J. : You love each other , too , right ?
Marissa : I ll see you soon . I promise , ok ?
Jake : Amanda witnessed the seizure , said that she was complaining her head was hurting , and she started to shake . I m assuming it s a CVA , but I have nt done a full assessment .
Neurologist : I ll take care of that . We wo nt know the extent of the damage or whether she ll recover at all until she wakes from the sedation , and then we ll be able to run more tests .
Jake : Great . Thank you . Honey , she s in the best of hands . He s amazing , ok ? Let s get you home .
Janet : Ohh .
Angie : You know , maybe I could go back to practicing . I mean , it s not like I have nt missed the patient interaction .
Jesse : You know that s not what you really want . You should nt even consider it .
Angie : Oh , baby , I know . I know you re right . I mean , what kind of message would that be sending to the entire staff ? They are already dreading the fact that David could be in charge .
Jesse : You are the only person I m concerned about .
Angie : I appreciate that , sweetheart , I do . You know , these people have put their entire trust in me to do right by them , and if I walk away now , it ll be like checking out on them when they need me the most . And if nothing else , I have to stay on as chief of staff to show people that I am not going to cave in to David s bullying and neither should they .
Jesse : There she is . That s the girl I married right there , and I m behind you 100 % . You hear me ?
Angie : Yeah . Oh , you better be , because it all sounds good in theory . It might not be so easy to pull off when I have to be face to face with that idiot .
David : What part of it s urgent did nt you understand ?
Madison : I told you I do nt want any part of this .
David : It s not about what you want . It s about keeping that bastard away from my wife .
Madison : Well , I ca nt do that .
David : No ? You re a murderer who s walking free . Something tells me you can do that and keep your hands clean .
Madison : You do nt have any proof that I committed any murder .
David : But I will , Madison . I ll find it . Now , do you want me digging around ? I ll take that as a no . So the first thing you need to do is lock in Ryan .
Madison : What does that even mean ?
David : What do you think ? Get him into your bed immediately !
Greenlee : I m sorry .
Ryan : For what ?
Greenlee : Losing it .
Ryan : You have nothing to apologize for , Greenlee . Hey , if you want , I could go to the drugstore and get you a pregnancy test .
Greenlee : No , I do nt want to know . Not yet . You know , I told myself -- and David -- that I came here because I needed to save my company , but the truth is I have nt been feeling right the past few days . When you offered this trip , even though I gave you hell at first , I wanted to get away . I should nt have come here with you . I mean , you re the last person I should be confiding in .
Ryan : It s ok . I can handle it .
Greenlee : I could nt . When I lost our baby , I was a wreck . I d already lost you . I felt like I had nothing left . I wanted to die .
J.R. : Please do nt do this .
Marissa : I ll have someone pick up the rest of my things .
J.R. : If you just give me another chance , Marissa , I can make this right .
Marissa : You ca nt .
Madison : I m telling you I ca nt do it .
David : Oh , do nt underestimate yourself , Madison . You re a beautiful woman . Ryan obviously likes you . It should nt take you any time at all to seduce him .
Madison : You do nt have any kind of idea what kind of a man Ryan is . He s not someone that can just be pushed into bed .
David : All right , well , I m sure you can find some way around his pristine character to make this happen .
Madison : That is sick . That s sick . You re sick . I m out of here .
David : Ok .
Madison : Ooh !
David : Since you re obviously not clear about this yet , I m gon na state this in the most simple terms possible . You either get Lavery into your bed or you go to prison for murder . Now , if you ask me , that s a simple choice .
Ryan : I could get you some crackers or something if you want . Or maybe I could get room service to get the broth back up here . I was nt there when you lost our baby , and I should ve been . And if I could go back --
Greenlee : What we went through , what we had and lost , it s too much . And going back there now , it s still too much .
Ryan : Yeah , I did nt mean to stir all that up again .
Greenlee : It always happens , though , does nt it ? Whenever I m with you , I always feel too much .
Jake : How was he ?
Babysitter : He s always good .
Jake : Oh , good . He s good , honey . See ?
Babysitter : Mommy sure loves her little guy , does nt she ?
Jake : She does .
Janet s voice : You love him just as fiercely as I love you because , like it or not , baby girl , you are your mother s daughter !

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Reva : You d do anything for your kids , right ? Sacrifice for them . Fight for them .
Olivia : You d kill for them if you had to . But you ca nt baby them , either . God knows , you ca nt lie to them because they re yours , and they see right through you . So you have to teach by example , and lesson number one : Nobody gives you anything in this life . You want it ? Take it .
Reva : It s not all Mother s Day cards and chocolate samplers . If it s your kid s life at stake , you may have to do things you do nt want to do . Things you never thought you would .
Olivia : It s for a good cause , you tell yourself . The ends justify the means . Which they do , damn it , as long as you get what your after . But sometimes , the cost is just too great . How do you know ? What s the limit ?
Reva : There has to be a limit , though , right ? A line you wo nt cross , even for your kids .
Olivia : Is there a line ? Or is that how they keep you from getting what s yours ? Sometimes , I think when you tow the line , that s their cue to kick you to the curb and steal your lunch money .
Reva : Then , again , you have to stay open to possibility . The moment you let down your defenses is the moment when something totally unexpected happens .
Jonathan : Hi Mom .
Reva : It s you . It s you . Really , it s you , Jonathan .
Jonathan : I missed you , too , Mom .
Reva : I never thought I was going to see you again . I mean , when Lizzie showed up at the apartment , and then you left ...
Jonathan : I know , I know . I m sorry I ran out on you , but I could nt have her seeing me .
Reva : I know . Sarah ? How s Sarah ? Is she okay ?
Jonathan : Oh , she s great . She s great . The bone marrow , it worked . I mean , she s putting on weight , she s crawling all over the place , driving her old man crazy .
Reva : ( Laughs ) You love it .
Jonathan : Hell , yeah .
Reva : You look good . Your hair is a little ...
Jonathan : ( Laughs )
Reva : But you look good . You re skinny . I guess that s what happens when you re on ... what are you doing here ? No , really , what are you doing here ? Do you know what Alan will do if he finds out that you re alive ?
Jonathan : What ? If you do nt kill me first ? I saw about Dylan being in the hospital and ...
Reva : How ? How did you know that ?
Jonathan : The internet . How you think I keep up with you and the rest of this crazy town ? I mean , I was reading about his condition . He s my brother , and I know we do nt see each other very often , but when you move around as much as I do , you take flesh and blood wherever you can get it .
Reva : ( Laughs ) You should be doing something a little more-- I do nt know-- constructive , like burning down buildings or something .
Jonathan : Wow . I have this mom who always taught me that family comes first . I just kept picturing you in that ER holding Dylan s hand with no one to hold you , so here I am .
Reva : I should tell you to go . I should send you away , but I ca nt . Oh !
Olivia : Reva ? Billy ! I did nt know you were handy .
Billy : Around here , I m the only one that s handy .
Olivia : Huh . What is it about Reva ? How does she get an army of men to do her dirty work ?
Billy : Maybe it s because she just does nt ask .
Olivia : Hmm .
Billy : What are you doing here ?
Olivia : Me ?
Billy : Yeah ... oh , a DVD . Let me see . You ve got something that s going to make Reva look real bad in Jeffrey s eyes , eh ?
Olivia : No , I do nt need to do that for her . You know what ? Never mind . This can wait .
Billy : Okay .
Olivia : Billy ?
Billy : Uh - oh .
Olivia : Why do you always assume I m up to something bad ?
Billy : Experience .
Olivia : Okay . Well , I m not here to hurt Reva .
Billy : Okay .
Olivia : Yesterday was Jonathan s birthday .
Billy : I know .
Olivia : And he s my nephew , and I just kind of feel like we never fully acknowledged losing him . It s just too hard for Reva , I guess .
Billy : You think ?
Olivia : I m just saying , you know , that she seemed to move on rather quickly . She ... she did nt really grieve for him like Cassie did for Tammy . Why is that ?
Billy : Let s just cut the crap here . What are you doing ? What do you want ?
Olivia : You know , stick to your handyman work . I will remember Jonathan and Sarah my own way , okay ?
Reva : You ca nt be here . Alan practically owns this hospital .
Jonathan : But he does nt own me ...
Reva : That s not the point .
Jonathan : ... Or you .
Reva : That s not the point .
Jonathan : Look , when Sarah needed you , were you worried about Alan ? Hell , no . You grabbed Lizzie , you knocked her out , you brought her to the clinic . That s risk .
Reva : I did nt have a choice . She s my grandkid .
Jonathan : And she needed you , like you need me . Or is Josh in the waiting room holding your hand ?
Reva : Josh is holding someone else s hand .
Jonathan : He s still with Cassie ?
Reva : Yeah . She s going to be Mrs. Josh Lewis in a few months .
Jonathan : Oh !
Reva : I m okay were with it .
Jonathan : Liar .
Reva : I ve got other stuff going on .
Jonathan : Stuff ? The love of your life and your sister ? I ought to smack them both upside the head , and I d get away with it , too , because I m dead .
Reva : No . Stop that . Thank you . I appreciate that offer . I really do . But I am okay . Besides , I sort of have a friend that ...
Jonathan : Oh ! ( Laughs ) Now , when you said friend , does that mean ...
Reva : You do nt ask your mother those kinds of questions .
Jonathan : Oh , yeah , I do . So spill it .
Reva : ( Sighs ) Jeffrey and I have ...
Jonathan : Hah ! ONeill ?
Reva : Yes .
Jonathan : Ooh , yay ! Why do nt you write about that on the Springfield blog ?
Reva : Because we re trying to stay under the radar , okay . It s just a casual thing . But I have to say that I really kind of learned to lean on him , especially through this whole Lizzie lost weekend fiasco .
Jonathan : What , he knows ?
Reva : Well , he figured it out , but he s not going to say anything .
Jonathan : Are you sure ?
Reva : I trust him , totally , especially since this whole Dylan thing happened .
Jonathan : Right , right . Dylan . That s why I m here . What can I do to help ?
Reva : I do nt know . The doctors wo nt say anything to me . I do nt know if they re trying to protect me or if they ... they really do nt know what s going on . But I just have to say that seeing you gives me hope . I mean , if I have nt lost you , then ...
Jonathan : Hey , Dylan s got your genes and Billy s . I mean , there s no way he does nt make it . That was Lizzie . How is she ?
Reva : How do you think ?
Jonathan : I mean , there s times I want to tell her , but , you know , I remember how she sided with Alan and how she s the one who made me go to that place by the mill and ...
Reva : Right . Hey , whatever Lizzie did or did nt do , she s paying for it now . But listen to me : No more near misses . You ve got to go . Alan lost another kid to Rick and Beth , and now he s even more dangerous .
Jonathan : I m not scared of him . But , you know , for Sarah s sake , I ll go .
Reva : This is nt forever . One day Alan wo nt be a threat . One day ...
Jonathan : Yeah . Mother Teresa , listen , while you re taking care of my brother and half of the population of this place , do me a favor and take care of yourself , too , okay ?
Reva : I ll try . Give Sarah a big hug and kiss for me .
Jonathan : Deal . You better get out of here first , just in case .
Reva : Okay .
Olivia : I do nt believe this . How are you going to talk your way out of this one , Reva ?
Jonathan : What s the matter ? Never seen a dead man before ? After everything I ve gone through to make sure it stays that way , I will not hesitate to make sure my daughter is safe . Do you understand what I m saying ? Nod yes .
Olivia : Jonathan ! I m so glad you re here .
Jonathan : Shh ! Keep it down ! Keep it down !
Olivia : I do nt understand .
Jonathan : So far , nobody s had to die to keep it a secret . That can change .
Reva : You know who these flowers are from ? They re from your brother , which is kind of odd because he s not really a hearts and flower kind of guy . In fact , most people , they think he s dead . ( Sighs ) I had to say goodbye to him once , to him and your niece , little Sarah . To save them , I had to let them go . It was almost as hard this time as it was then . But it s what you do-- right?-- To keep your kids safe . You d do it for Daisy , whatever it takes . Okay , now , about you ... one son is all I m giving up . One . One son and one granddaughter . That s it . So now you have to do your bit , Dylan Lewis , because I need you . Do nt just lie here trying to annoy me and trying to give the doctors something to stroke their chins about . I need you to open those beautiful eyes of yours and come back , come back to me . ( Sobbing )
Olivia : I do nt want to hurt you . We have been hurt enough in this life , have nt we ? But we re the same kind of people , Jonathan . We re going to look out for the people that we love . And that s exactly what I m trying to do . I m trying to make something right in myself so I can raise my own kid . Do you understand that at least ? Do you understand that ? You have had everything that I want , just a real , unconditional love with Tammy . People might say that they love me , but they just want to fix me . They leave me , okay ? I ... I have to fix myself .
Jonathan : Well , I wish I could help you , but I ve got my own problems .
Olivia : Because you re somebody s daddy ?
Jonathan : Yeah .
Olivia : And it s just the two of you ?
Jonathan : Just us . I m the only one who keeps her from ...
Olivia : Ending up like Tammy .
Jonathan : Right .
Olivia : I am sorry .
Jonathan : Yeah . That s why if I thought that you would blow this secret , if there s a chance that I ...
Olivia : You would do exactly what I would do if anybody tried to hurt my kids , okay ? You would cross any line . I ve already crossed the line .
Jonathan : Yeah ?
Olivia : Yeah . Letting the whole world believe I m some terrible mother so my kid knows her happiness means everything to me .
Jonathan : I believe you .
Olivia : Hey , I never saw you . I never saw you . You re dead , okay ? We never had this conversation . Never . And I m proud of you .
Jonathan : And I m proud of you , too . Um , I guess this is where I crawl back into my grave . You take care .
Olivia : You take care .
OliviaNobody can understand , can they , what it means to be a mother , unless you re a member of the club . I m sorry about Dylan .
Reva : Thanks . He s a fighter .
Olivia : Like mother , like son . I know how hard you fight when you want something . I ve got the scars to prove it .
Reva : So , what , are you here to give me hell about Jeffrey ?
Olivia : Would I kick you when you re down ?
Reva : Hah !
Olivia : Okay . All right . No , I would . But as one mother to another , I know how powerless it feels . Like me , you would beg , borrow , steal , even fake a mugging , if it could help your kid .
Reva : Yeah , well , leave off the mugging , and I am a lot like you . Excuse me .
Olivia : Would you fake a death , Reva ? Would you go that far ? Because , see , I always wondered why they never found the bodies , you know . I mean , I know fire can do really horrible things , but I thought , no , they had to find a tooth or a bone .
Reva : Is this your idea of comfort ? Rubbing my nose in my son s death ? What kind of woman are you ?
Olivia : I m bad . I am so bad , but I am amazed to discover I am nowhere in your league . You re Reva Shayne , a woman of extremes , and yet you shed very few tears when we all said goodbye to Jonathan and Sarah .
Reva : What the hell are you talking about ?
Olivia : You did nt go crazy as usual , Reva . I mean , you were upset , but you were in control . You did nt drive off a bridge or start fires in Jonathan s memory . Cassie was put in a straightjacket , practically , when she heard that Tammy died . But you ...
Reva : I do nt have to listen to this .
Olivia : No , no . You can watch . You can watch . Jonathan is a little camera shy , but Sarah ... even I have to admit she s growing up to look just like her grandma . You must be proud . I ve got copies . It s not going to help you . Besides , I ve always heard that home movies bring families closer together .
Reva : That is mine . You stole it !
Olivia : You are complicit in a phony death , with possible insurance fraud implications , not to mention the emotional torture you are putting Lizzie Spaulding through , and you re worried about me being a thief ?
Reva : Let me guess : Because I told Jeffrey that you arranged for Ava to be attacked , you broke into my house and you found something . You found anything you could use against me .
Olivia : And I hit the jackpot .
Reva : Well , I do nt know what you think you have there .
Olivia : ( Scoffs ) See the J on the label , it confused me at first . I thought it might be some kinky sex tape with you and Jeffrey . But it was much more interesting than that . And , of course , he s in on the secret , and that s why he warned me to back off and leave you alone . And I do nt know how he can judge me and justify this . But , anyway , what is it ? Is it an attorney - client privilege thing ? Or is it a sex for silence thing ?
Reva : It does nt prove anything .
Olivia : I have Sarah on videotape five months after she died in a fiery accident .
Reva : Tapes can be doctored . Tapes can be doctored ! You ca nt prove that it s Jonathan .
Olivia : Jonathan said that he was going to choke me if I told anyone his secret .
Reva : He should have done it .
Olivia : Maybe , but he does nt have his hands on my throat right now . In fact , it s more like I have my hands on yours . And how does that feel , Reva ? How does that feel ? Kind of like I felt when , for lack of a better word , you took Jeffrey away from me , or you tried to turn my daughter Ava against me . See , payback can be a beautiful thing .
Lizzie : Reva , hi . I ve been looking for you .
Reva : I m sorry , Lizzie , but I ...
Lizzie : I know . I heard what happened to Dylan . I went over to the hospital to see if there s anything I could do .
Reva : That was sweet , but I really ...
Lizzie : But the weirdest thing happened , okay ? I ... I got this feeling , this feeling that I was , like , this close to Jonathan and Sarah . And I know that it s happened before , but it was stronger this time . I ... I do nt even know how to explain it .
Olivia : I can explain it , Lizzie .
Reva : Yeah , well , it s ... it s about being a mother , you know . I mean , it s like the other day , I was sitting here and I saw Olivia with Emma .
Olivia : No . What she s trying to say ...
Reva : And she was just coming out of the movie with Emma , that ... that mermaid movie , you know , and it ... it made me sad because it reminded me that we were nt going to be able to see Sarah grow up , you know . And she s kind of like that ... the mermaid in the movie , kind of lost out there in the deep blue sea .
Lizzie : Yeah , but the mermaid gets to come back . My daughter does nt .
Reva : But that s just it . I mean , when you re a mother , they re ... they re never really gone . They re not . They re ... they re always there , deep down , someplace sacred where no one can touch them .
Lizzie : Maybe it d be better if this feeling would have just died with her .
Reva : No , Lizzie , do nt say that . Do nt ever say that . You have to hold onto every tear , hold onto every photo , every sound , every smell , so that you can keep those children in your heart . And no one , no one should ever try to take that away from you .
Lizzie : Yeah , I guess you re right . I m sorry if I upset you . I know that you ve got a lot going on , and if there s anything that I can do ...
Reva : No , no . I just ... I really want you to take care of yourself .
Olivia : Lizzie ... have a good day . That was shameless , even for you . Sarah , a mermaid ?
Reva : Better she believe that than have her lead her grandfather to Jonathan and Sarah .
Olivia : ( Sighs ) Alan would be so mad .
Reva : Do you think this is a joke ?
Olivia : Believe me , I do nt !
Reva : Hey , look , I meant what I said before about what happens with mothers , something they share no matter how many times we ve pulled each other s hair or how many times we fight over the same man .
Olivia : If you think you can play the mommy card with me ...
Reva : When you were pregnant with Emma , you ran away from the Spaulding s . You let Phillip and Alan believe that she was lost to them forever .
Olivia : So ?
Reva : You know what that family and that man is capable of doing to a child .
Olivia : I guess I do .
Reva : So how can you blame me for wanting to protect Sarah ? You know what Alan would do if he was able to track Jonathan down .
Olivia : I guess I do .
Reva : So whatever you think about me , think about this , too : Think about Ava being threatened by Alan . Think about Emma having the rest of her life ruined . And if you still want to blow my secret , then be my guest . Go ahead . In fact , use my phone . I do nt care . Just get it over with .
Olivia : Okay . Who do I call first ? Do I call Alan ? Do I call the D.A. ? Or maybe I should call Springfield s newest moral compass , the right Reverend Joshua Lewis . Maybe I can get them on a conference line . ( Cell phone rings )
Reva : Hello ? Yes , this is she . What do you mean ? I mean ... he came out of surgery . His vitals were ... I ll be right there .
Olivia : What s wrong , Reva ?
Reva : Oh , like you care ! What happened ? You said he got through the surgery and he was getting better . What went wrong ?
Dr. Thompkins : Sometimes , there are unforeseen complications .
Reva : Look , you re talking to a woman who went 15 rounds with cancer and won . What does my son need ?
Dr. Thompkins : He needs a transfusion . During the surgery , an artery was nicked .
Reva : You re telling me that the surgery created another problem ?
Dr. Thompkins : I warned you there was a risk .
Reva : Well , then , give him some more blood . I mean , pick a vein . I have thousands of them !
Dr. Thompkins : It s not that simple . I ve already checked your medical records . You re not a match , and neither is his father . Dylan has a very rare blood type .
Reva : How rare ?
Doctor : Well , it s in very short supply at the blood bank .
Reva : You mean they do nt have any ?
Dr. Thompkins : Not enough . Unless we can find another donor with type O negative .
Olivia : You found her .
Olivia : Ouch ! Was that necessary ?
Nurse Kimberly : I got what I came for .
Olivia : That woman is sneaky- mean .
Reva : And what exactly are you , sneaky - nice ? Is that why you re giving Dylan the blood ?
Olivia : I know that if this was Ava or Emma , you would be first in line with your sleeve rolled up and your vein popped out there . I could nt let you have the moral high ground , could I ?
Reva : Thank God . There , for a minute , I thought you had a conscience .
Olivia : By the way , I ... I do nt like needles . I kind of faint at the sight of them .
Reva : Well , you could just think of peas and carrots .
Olivia : What ?
Reva : Peas and carrots . It s just this thing that ... I went to a high school dance , and it was the junior prom , and I ... I thought I was going to go with Josh , but he went with Maggie Martindale . But no , that was okay . She s one of those girls who had those big , old juicy lips and flaming red hair , and ...
Olivia : I know the type .
Reva : ... And the jiggle . Yeah , well , you are the type , you know . She was rich , too .
Olivia : Oil ?
Reva : Natural gas .
Olivia : Ugh .
Reva : Yeah .
Olivia : Well , I hope you did nt stay at home .
Reva : No . No , no , no , no . I went to the prom . I went with Bobby Wiggins . Bobby Wiggins had one of those flat - top haircuts , and his pants were about two inches too short and ...
Olivia : Oh , oh , oh ! And his father drove you in the family station wagon ?
Reva : You knew Bobby !
Olivia : I know millions of Bobby s . Yes , yes . So while he s stepping on your toes and sliding his hand a little too far down your back and whispering in your ear with breath that smells like antiseptic mouthwash ...
Reva : Eww !
Olivia : ... You re thinking peas and carrots .
Reva : Peas and carrots , of course . It got me through that night .
Olivia : ( Laughs )
Reva : ( Laughs ) Thank you .
Olivia : Well , do nt get all warm and fuzzy on me because this does nt change anything .
Reva : Olivia . You ca nt tell anyone that Jonathan and Sarah are alive , no matter how much you hate me .
Olivia : Reva , I have to do what I have to do . And if that means spilling your secret , that s exactly what will happen .
Jeffrey : ( Southern drawl ) Excuse me , maam . I ve been trying to deliver these all day .
Reva : ( Southern drawl ) Well , I m sorry I was so hard to find . I ve been ...
Jeffrey : ( Normal voice ) At the hospital , I know . I did nt want to intrude .
Reva : ( Normal voice ) You could nt intrude because you re my friend , remember ?
Jeffrey : Friend , yes . A friend . So , how is Dylan ? And more importantly , how is Dylan s mom ?
Reva : Well , we re both serious , but not critical .
Jeffrey : Well , that s a good thing , right ? So why the sad face ?
Reva : Because I have another son . The crazy guy came to see me .
Jeffrey : Jonathan and Sarah ?
Reva : Yeah . They re great , you know , but I do nt ... they ll stay that way as long as , you know ...
Jeffrey : Hey , hey , you know what ? You do nt have to carry the weight of the world all the time , you know ? You can share the load .
Reva : I m sorry . I know how much you hate women crying on your shoulders . It s right up there with babies drooling and puppies doing what puppies do .
Jeffrey : Well , I like the idea of your head on my shoulders .
Reva : I could get used to this .
Jeffrey : Well , that , my dear , is the whole idea .
Reva : Yeah , well , if Doris Wolfe has her way , though , I could end up in the slammer .
Jeffrey : Not going to happen , especially since you have a brilliant and dedicated attorney .
Reva : Well , that s what I like most about you , your modesty .
Jeffrey : Oh , really ? I thought it was that double - jointed thing that I do .
Reva : ( Laughs ) I like that , too !
Jeffrey : ( Laughs ) Well , good . Ms. Shayne , since we ve come to a new level of understanding ...
Reva : Uh - huh .
Jeffrey : ... I think you should agree to join me on a real , live , honest to goodness romantic rendezvous .
Reva : Hmm , I think I d like that . But not until I m sure that Dylan s out of the woods . And then , you have my permission to sweep me off my feet .
Jeffrey : Will do . Tell Dylan to hurry up and get better .
Reva : ( Laughs ) I will . Thank you .
Olivia : Busy day ?
Reva : Oh , Olivia , how are you feeling ? I mean , if you re feeling woozy , please sit .
Olivia : No , no . Thanks . I m actually feeling stronger by the minute . Nice flowers .
Reva : You saw Jeffrey ?
Olivia : Yeah , I saw him , heard him , smelled the love .
Reva : I m so grateful to you for what you did for Dylan today , and for keeping Jonathan s secret .
Olivia : See , I just ... I ... do nt be so grateful . Everything I do , I do for me . I told you that . I mean , soon , the whole town s going to know that Olivia Spencer gave her rare blood to help the son of the woman she despises the most . And as far as Jonathan is concerned , um , it s not quite resolved .
Reva : I stopped Jonathan from going after you .
Olivia : And I will happily send you a box of chocolates to go with those lovely flowers .
Reva : So what is your price , Olivia , for your silence ?
Olivia : Jeffrey .
Reva : I think that transfusion made you a little loopy because what would make you think I could get Jeffrey to do something he does nt want to do ?
Olivia : Well , want to do ? See , I have to assume , since he broke up my wedding to Buzz , that he might have even a little bit of interest in me . Or at least he did until you came along and screwed everything up .
Reva : Oh , wait a minute . He did , maybe , until I told him the truth .
Olivia : Your version of the truth . And now , Jeffrey thinks I m a horrible mother and a twisted , desperate woman . And , unfortunately , I think you re the only person who can change his mind .
Reva : How , after what you did to his daughter ?
Olivia : Look , Ava does nt blame me for that . If anything , we ve become closer . And I think Jeffrey and I could have the same thing .
Reva : Forget it . And since you were spying , you must have seen that Jeffrey s become more than just a friend to me .
Olivia : Are you honestly going to tell me that you have room in your heart for someone besides Josh ? Because I have a hard time buying that . I think Jeffrey is just another bus stop that leads down the highway to Josh .
Reva : And what is he to you , Olivia ? Did nt you hate him , like , five minutes ago ?
Olivia : Well , you know , it s just ... it s complicated . It s just complicated , and I have to believe that Jeffrey and I could be good for each other .
Reva : Or a disaster .
Olivia : Well , I do nt know . Maybe . But who knows how love starts . I mean , maybe it is nt always so innocent and sweet and gentle . You know , maybe for some people like me and Jeffrey-- and maybe even you , Reva-- maybe it comes from a darker place , you know , and it just spends a lifetime just struggling to find the light . And that s how I ... that s who I am . That s who I am . I just feel like I can reach out and grab the light , but , unfortunately , I need Jeffrey to give me a chance .
Reva : Sorry . It s not happening .
Olivia : Well , then I m sorry because I m not bluffing . One phone call to Alan , and Jonathan s secret will be out .
Reva : Look , I do nt care if you go after me , but for God s sake , Olivia ...
Olivia : And then I m going to call Doris Wolfe . I m going to call Doris Wolfe . What is it , accessory to two fake deaths ? And , I do nt know , but I m sure Lizzie s disappearance had something to do with that . The D.A. will be on you faster than you can say penitentiary .
Reva : Have you ever heard of something called karma ?
Olivia : Yeah , and yours has come due . I need an answer by tomorrow . Be smart for once and give me what I want because , you know something ? We can both actually win .
Olivia : At the end of the day , what does it all come down to ? Not so much what you want , but what you need . And you know you ll do anything to get it . You just have to find someone to help . Someone who is more like you than either one of you cares to admit .
Reva : Where your kids are concerned , there is no line you wo nt cross , no limit to what you ll do . You ll love them and protect them . You ll keep them from harm no matter what it costs you .
Tammy : Hey , what took you so long ?
Ashlee : All guys have a type . What s yours ?
Olivia : Alan or maybe even Lizzie would reward me for bringing back the one person that they value most in this life . Little Sarah .
Ashlee : You know you want it !
Jonathan : I do nt need you anywhere near me when I do it . Do what ?
### Summary:

Olivia expresses her sympathies for Dylan to Reva and seems genuine until she drops the bomb flashing the DVD of Sarah around . Reva and Olivia argue over everything but most of all their hatred for each other .

There is a monetary truce but Olivia s claws come out again when she later sees Jeffrey and Reva too cozy and close . Olivia tells Reva she has one day to decide if it will be Jeffrey or Jonathan .

Liam : She does-- she does matter .
Bill : Then act like it .
Liam : She -- okay , so in other words , just ignore everything that she did at the resort .
Bill : She was staking her claim . Why would you blame her for that ?
Liam : No , no , Dad , she was being deceptive , okay , and it s not the first time . I mean , she knew Hope and Thomas were at the same resort as us . She should have said something .
Bill : Why would she say something when she knew exactly how you d react ?
Lm : Because it s honest , Dad . It s honest . That s supposed to mean something in a marriage .

Thomas : I m not leaving her .
Taylor : Thomas . Thomas .
Liam : Hey . So beautiful . ( Sniffles ) They re right , you know ? This never should have happened . Things just ... got out of control . And now all I want is just to ... ( Sighs ) Just to see your beautiful eyes again and hear your laugh . Come back to me , Steffy . Come back . ( Sobs ) Steffy , come on . Steffy ! Hey . ( Laughs ) Hey . Hey . Hi .
Taylor : ( Sniffles ) ( Sighs )
Dr. Rivera : Very good . No dilation .
Woman : ( Speaking Spanish )
Dr. Rivera : How do you feel , Steffy ?
Steffy : Okay .
Dr. Rivera : Do you know where you are ?
Steffy : Heaven ?
Liam : ( Laughs )
Taylor : ( Sniffles )
Thomas : You re in the hospital , Steffy . You took a bad spill on an A.T.V.
Taylor : ( Sniffles )
Dr. Rivera : You were in here when she came to ?
Liam : Uh , yes .
Dr. River : Um , she just opened her eyes , woke up ?
Liam : Well , I was ... talking to her , and -- and her hand started twitching , and then her eyes opened .
Ridge : You gave us quite a scare , Sweetheart .
Steffy : I m sorry .
Taylor : We re just so grateful to have you with us . I could nt have ... bear losing you .
Liam : So what do you think , Doctor ?
Dr. Rivera : Her vitals are good . We ll have to wait and see how she progresses , but I expect a full recovery . She s a lucky young lady .
Taylor : ( Sighs ) ( Sniffles ) ( Sighs )
Steffy : Well , how long do I have to stay here ?
Dr. Rivera : We ll observe you for the rest of the day , run some more tests . If all goes well , you should be going home in a couple of days , maybe even tomorrow .
Steffy : Thank you .
Dr. Rivera : You re welcome . But the one you should be thanking is your husband . Whatever he said did the trick .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Dr. Rivera : Now if you ll excuse me , I have other patients .
Taylor : ( Laughs ) ( Sniffles )
Bill : Your love and support , Liam -- that s what brought your wife back .
Taylor : No more A.T.V.s for you , okay ?
Steffy : Mom .
Ridge : No , for sure . Not on my watch .
Taylor : Look , her color s already coming back .
Ridge : Yeah , it does .
Taylor : Yeah .
Ridge : I think possibly we might get you out of here tomorrow .
Taylor : Mm - hmm .
Taylor : ( Sniffles )
Liam : Hi . Close call , huh ?
Thomas : Yeah , too close . I really hope you learned something .
Liam : Uh , yeah , I think we all did .
Thomas : Yeah well , you , especially . It s time to take care of my sister , Liam , your wife .
Liam : All right . Okay , Thomas . I get the point .
Thos : So you re saying you re letting go of Hope ?
Liam : I m saying I get the point .
Thomas : No , I do nt think you do . I ve seen the way you look at her , even here at this hospital . Come on , you re married .
Liam : Yeah , I m married to a woman who goes plotting along with her brother behind my back .
Thomas : Dont -- do you even think about attacking Steffy .
Liam : Thomas -- Thomas , I am not in the wrong here . Okay , you should nt have taken off on that A.T.V. , but you should nt have , either . What did you think was gon na happen ? You think I was nt gon na try to get answers from you ? I mean , you and Steffy , the whole time , the whole trip , were running around , trying to keep Hope and me from seeing each other . What is that ?
Thomas : Because you re obsessed with her . That kiss on the beach right in front of me ? Come on .
Liam : Okay . All right .
Thomas : Thanksgiving , Christmas-- every time you too are together , you re stringing her along . Not me . Steffy is your wife . Man up .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Hope : ( Sighs )
Liam : Well , Thomas is a happy camper . ( Laughs )
Hope : Yeah , so I heard .
Liam : And he s right . But they should nt have kept us apart . I love you , Hope . I will always love you .
Bill : Hey , Doc , you have a minute ?
Dr. Rivera : Oh , certainly . Uh , you must be very relieved .
Bill : ( Sighs ) I am .
Dr. Riva : I have every reason to believe that your daughter - in - law is going to be fine .
Bill : She s not going to be fine .
Thomas : Come on . Let s have it . Where s your purse ?
Steffy : ( Laughs ) Do nt make me laugh , okay ? It hurts .
Thomas : I m sorry . But I am taking your driver s license . You re a maniac .
Taylor : ( Laughs )
Ridge : Only on sand , though .
Taylor : Oh .
Steffy : Oh , my God .
Taylor : My precious baby . Baby girl . Oh , baby girl . I could never lose you .
Dr. Rivera : You re still worried about Steffy
Bill : You could say that .
Dr. Rivera : There s no reason to be . Here , let me show you . This is a brain scan that gives us concern .
Bill : It is nt Steffy s ?
Dr. Rivera : No . Notice the darkened area . That is a blot clot . This woman s condition is very serious . If the clot loosens , it could lead to a stroke , perhaps death .
Bill : How do you treat this patient ?
Dr. Rivera : It will take time . The clot has to dissolve on its own . ( Grabs X - ray ) Any undo stress , anxiety , or even grief could lead to a stroke . Now this ... is Steffy s brain scan . As you can see , there s no blood clot , no brain damage at all . Steffy should make a full recovery .
Bill : Whose brain scan is this ?
Dr. Rivera : Oh , that is the woman in --
Bill : Not anymore I assume you have a copy .
Dr. Rivera : Yes , I have copies . What are you doing ?
Bill : I see you re having a fund drive .
Dr. Rivera : Yes , but--
Bill : Having some trouble reaching your goal .
Dr. Rivera : Mr. Spencer--
Bill : You re only a third of the way up , Doc .
Dr. Rivera : ( Sighs ) We have been trying to raise that money for some time . But , Sir , what you have done here is not something--
Bill : What I have done ... or am about to do ... is buy your hospital ... a new cardiac wing . And trust me , the check is good . Congratulations , Doc . You just met your goal . I would expect to see a little smile . Come on now . Turn that frown upside down . No harm s being done here , only good . You re helping Steffy save her marriage , and you re providing your hospital with a state - of - the art cardiac facility . This is Steffy s scan now . The information you re giving the other patient , her family , about the blood thinners , the loving , nurturing environment , etcetera , etcetera-- you re giving that same information to my son .
Liam : Look , I ca nt stop loving you , Hope . I mean , I - I love Steffy , too , I really do , but you are like an angel to me , and I ca nt look at you any other way .
Hope : ( Sighs ) Oh , go , Liam , I - I ca nt destroy your marriage , especially right now when Steffy is in a hospital bed .
Liam : No , Hope , you heard the doctor . Steffy s gon na be fine .
Hope : ( Sighs ) You -- you took -- you took vows , and I - I respect that .
Liam : All right , listen to me . Listen to me . I am not asking you to do anything . This is all on me . But I ca nt go on living like this . I got ta make it right , and there s only one way for me to do that . No more lying and no more manipulations from Steffy and Thomas . I m ... I m gon na do what I have to do .
Hope : ( Sighs )
Liam : ( Whispers ) I am yours .
Hope : ( Sniffles ) Liam , I do nt know what to say .
Liam : You do nt have to say anything , do anything . This is in my hands .
Bill : Liam .
Hope : I just .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Bill : What the hell are you doing ? You ve got to stay away from that girl . Do you even care about Steffy ?
Liam : Of course , I do . Dad , of course , I do . But she s gon na be okay , thank God .
Bill : Yeah , thank God .
Liam : And now I got ta go talk to her .
Bill : About this decision you ve made ?
Liam : It s what I have to do , Dad .
Bill : ( Sighs )
Steffy : Tomorrow I get released ?
Ridge : We ll see , Sweetheart .
Steffy : I want to be-- I want to be with Liam .
Thomas : And you re gon na be with Liam , Steffy , okay ? He s not going anywhere .
Steffy : Hi .
Liam : Hey .
Steffy : My hero ... again . Mm . ( Sighs )
Liam : Um ... do you guys mind if I have a moment alone with my wife ?
Taylor : We ll be right outside .
Thomas : Take care of your wife .
Bill : Liam , the doctor needs to speak to you .
Liam : Uh ... not -- not now , Dad .
Bill : He said it s important .
Liam : Okay , it s probably about insurance or something . Can you just deal with it , please ?
Bill : He asked for you specifically .
Liam : I ll be right back . What is this about ?
Bill : I do nt know . He did nt tell me . Dr. Rivera , you said you wanted to speak to my son ?
Dr. Rivera : Yes .
Bill : I d like to stick around and hear what you have to say , if you do nt mind .
Dr. Rivera : Of course .
Liam : Uh , what is it , Doctor ?
Dr. Rivera : I ve been going over Steffy s chart , specifically her latest brain scan .
Liam : What about them ?
Dr. Rivera : Perhaps I should show you . You see that , uh , dark spot right there ?
Liam : Yeah , I think so .
Dr. Rivera : That indicates a blood clot .
Liam : A blood clot ? What does -- what does that mean ?
Dr. Rivera : Your wife is in a - a very precarious situation . If that clot loosens , she could have a stroke .
Liam : What ?
Dr. Rivera : I m sorry , Liam .
Liam : ( Scoffs ) No , go on . No , this ca nt be happening . You just told me that she was gon na be fine .
Bill : Well , that must have been before the doctor saw this latest scan .
Liam : Wha--
Bill : What does this mean ?
Liam : Yeah , I mean , what -- how -- how do you treat something like this ? You said it was serious , so--
Dr. Rivera : It s going to take time for the clot to dissolve-- weeks , maybe months . In the meantime , its critical Steffy has all the love and support she can get from her family , especially her husband . She s been through a trauma . She needs to be loved and cared for . Any kind of stress or tension could lead to ... it could lead to death .
Liam : Whoa .
Dr. Rivera : Do you understand , Liam ?
Bill : Liam ... do you understand exactly what the doctor s saying ?

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Ridge : I will always love you and cherish you . I treasure us , our connection . And this is our chance to recapture the magic that we used to have , and that s what mom wants . She wanted us to be together and to run this company , to run this family . This is our shot , Logan .
Bill : I hope you enjoyed our day together .
R.J. : It was ... okay .
Bill : Okay ? Maybe I need to take you on the tour again so you have a full appreciation of exactly what I ve built here . How about we start in the safe room ? You can take another big whiff of that cold , hard cash .
R.J. : No , no , no . That s not necessary . I am sufficiently impressed with your Benjamins .
Bill : Progress . I ll take it .
R.J. : Can I ask you a question ?
Bill : Absolutely . I m an open book .
R.J. : If my mom does decide to marry you , do you promise to keep her happy ?
Eric : Quinn ?
Steffy : Hey , granddad . Is everything okay ?
Eric : I m not sure , Steffy . I m not sure .
Katie : You do nt think you re overreacting just a tad ?
Quinn : I am very protective of my husband and our relationship , and I want my marriage to be if not celebrated , at least respected . There are hundreds of homes in this area that you can fall in love with . So pick one . This house is not an option . I am not going to have you as my next - door neighbor .
Katie : [ Scoffs ]
Steffy : What s wrong ? Did Quinn do something to you ?
Eric : No , no . No , not at all . I just -- you caught me at a moment . That s all .
Steffy : Are you sure ?
Eric : Yeah . Nothing to worry about .
Steffy : [ Sighs ] Look , I know we ve been at odds with each other for a while now , and I know you ve been unhappy -- well , you ve been disappointed with me , and I just want to let you know that everything I did , it was never meant to hurt you . It was coming from a place of love .
Eric : I know that .
Katie : What you re saying is ridiculous . I mean , why would nt I buy this house ? It s in the perfect location . It s right near my son s school . Not to mention , check out that view !
Quinn : Of one house in particular .
Katie : Anyway , this conversation may be moot , because I ve already put in an offer on this house , and I m really hoping it goes through .
Bill : You re an impressive young man .
R.J. : What I d do ?
Bill : You re looking out for your mother . That was an excellent question .
R.J. : You gon na answer it ?
Bill : You bet I am . Your mother means everything to me . And you re right . I do nt deserve her . But by some miracle , she s decided to overlook that and shine her light on me anyway . Now , look , I understand that you want to see your mom marry your dad . Kids want to see their parents together . I get that . But the fact is , that ring on your mom s finger was given to her by me , not him . Your mom and I are getting married . So to answer your question , yes , you have my word . I promise I m gon na keep your mother happier than she has ever been in her life .
Brooke : Are you proposing to me ?
Ridge : I m reminding you of all the possibilities . But it s your decision . I m just telling you where I stand .
Brooke : What you refuse to acknowledge is that I m already wearing a ring . And if I take off bill s ring , he will be the first to know .
Ridge : This is my mother s ring .
Brooke : It s so beautiful .
Ridge : It represents the future . Mom always wanted us to be together , be a family , raise R.J. Together . But I m not -- I m not pressuring you . I know it feels that way . But no , I get it . You do nt want to put the ring on now . It s okay .
Brooke : It does nt seem like you re ready to give up .
Ridge : You know , I do nt -- no , I m not giving up .
Brooke : [ Chuckles ]
Ridge : I m just gon na put this much better suited for you ring into a safe place , and when you re ready to accept it , when you re ready to be my wife , it ll be yours .
Eric : Thanksgiving s almost here .
Steffy : Your first with Quinn .
Eric : I was thinking about sending out invitations , but , uh , it did nt work out so well last time .
Steffy : It was wrong of us to boycott the wedding , and we all know that .
Eric : Quinn will always be in the picture .
Steffy : I know you believe that . I just ... I guess my attitude is more like wait and see . But she s here now , so ...
Eric : So does that mean you ll be here ?
Steffy : I still have major issues with Quinn . But first and foremost , I want to spend the holidays with you like we always have , so yeah . Yeah , you can count on me .
Eric : Good . I m glad to hear that . Look , uh , do me a favor . Um ... would you ask the others to come ?
Steffy : Yeah , yeah , of course .
Eric : Yes ?
Steffy : Yeah .
Eric : Your father , too .
Steffy : Yeah , even dad .
Eric : He s stubborn .
Steffy : Not as stubborn as me . [ Voice breaking ] Can I have a Granddad hug ?
Eric : I thought you d never ask .
Steffy : Where s Quinn ? Cause I have nt seen you without her since you guys started , um , since , uh ... you started seeing her .
Eric : Yeah , well , the fact of the matter is , I think maybe she s next door .
Quinn : Maybe we should go over this again , the reasons why I m uncomfortable with you moving in here .
Katie : No , no , no . I heard you twice the first time . Eric and I are friends . We ve known each other for a very long time . I mean , seriously , how do you think he would react if I told him that I was nt buying this place because you re insecure and you do nt trust him or your marriage ?
Brooke : So , I take it things did nt go so well ? I was hoping that you two could spend some time together and maybe find some common ground .
R.J. : It was nt awful .
Brooke : Well , that s encouraging .
R.J. : I had a talk with Liam . He gave me a different perspective on Spencer . And he did nt try to bully me or work me into liking him . He was just kind of his weird self .
Brooke : You ll get used to bill s quirks if you just give him a chance .
R.J. : Listen , bottom line -- I just want you to be happy . And I understand that you re torn between Spencer and dad .
Ridge : That went pretty well . What do you think , mom ?
Ridge : What the hell are you doing here ?
Bill : I have Brooke s phone on my GPS .
Ridge : That s creepy .
Bill : Says the man who lures his ex - wife to his mother s grave site to court her ?
Brooke : So what are you saying , honey ? Are you okay with me marrying bill ?
R.J. : I did nt say that , all right ? I - I thought today was gon na be a drag . But he s better than I thought . And he expressed his feelings for you , and ... I think I believed him .
Brooke : Bill does love me very much .
R.J. : But I only have one family , and so does will . Should nt we have a chance to have our parents together ? I mean , if you need a deciding factor between Spencer and dad , why not us ? You re a great mother , so do what s right in your heart and do what s right for all of us .
Bill : You know , I have to give you a lot of credit . I do . I mean , that s a -- that s a hell of a move , bringing Brooke to Stephanie s grave site ? I mean , that s at once cheesy and slick . You tap into her grief , Brooke s constant desire to please your mother .
Ridge : Do nt you have a business to run ?
Bill : Can you just accept a compliment ? Can you just be gracious ? It s not like I throw them around . So what d you do ? You pushing that nostalgia button pretty hard , laying it on thick with all that ancient history destiny garbage ?
Ridge : It s amazing to me . It s like you were standing right there .
Bill : Well , you know , it s a freakish gift that I have . It s not gon na work . No matter how many tricks you pull out of your little bag .
Ridge : No tricks . Just told her my intentions .
Bill : But she s not here anymore , is she ? All right , look , you -- you just got to stop with all these desperate stunts . You need to knock it off . Cause if you do nt ... well , you might want to make sure there s an opening for you at the family plot .
Ridge : Okay , so if you re gon na kill me , how you gon na know if she would choose you or choose me ?
Bill : I already know she s gon na choose me . You re just delaying it a bit . You better savor the moment . Because when it s all said and done , Brooke is going to be married to me .
Eric : It was perfectly innocent , Katie being over here , but Quinn got perturbed and , uh ... at any rate , it turns out that Katie might be moving in next door .
Steffy : Really ?
Eric : Rick told her about the listing , so she went over to look and she asked me to weigh in . I encouraged her to make an offer . And as it turns out , today I - I got a text saying that that s exactly what happened . I think Quinn saw the text . Anyway , the point is , I think she s , uh , probably not too happy about it , and I think maybe she s next door right now .
Steffy : Is Quinn jealous of Katie ?
Quinn : I m not insecure . I trust Eric . I trust our marriage . It s you I do nt trust .
Katie : You know , he s put a lot on the line for you . You realize that .
Quinn : Yeah , I m very lucky .
Katie : Yes , you are . You re lucky to have a man like Eric . Has he ever given you any reason to doubt him ?
Quinn : Of course not . But you re the one who keeps coming over when you know I m not going to be home and trying to move in next door !
Katie : Okay , let s just look at the reality of the situation , shall we ? You say that you re secure in your marriage , but that s not how you re acting . I mean , you re over here , you re lashing out at me , you re making these veiled threats . That sounds like the old Quinn . I thought you did nt want to be that person anymore .
Quinn : I do nt .
Katie : Well , then let s just rein it in , shall we ? That s just a little advice . You know , you can take it or leave it , but do nt self - sabotage .
Quinn : You re right . You re right . About everything you said . I mean , I - I ... I m in all - out protective mode . It s -- it s -- I mean , it s how I m wired . Just seeing threats everywhere . Everybody s trying to take something from me . I ... when I was young , I had to scramble a lot . I did nt have any help raising Wyatt . It was just ... we had this us against them mentality , and -- and it s the same thing that Eric and I have been going through with his family , a family that you are really close with . So you have to understand when you come over unannounced , wearing red lipstick , I think you re making a play for my husband ! I think you re -- you re conspiring with the rest of the family to take him away from me !
Katie : Quinn , I m not doing anything !
Quinn : I understand that . You say that , but think about it . Rick has been the one who s been helping you get this place . Is that a coincidence ? I do nt know . How am I supposed to know that you re not working with ridge and the rest of the family ?
Katie : Because the only male I answer to is this tall and he s going to lose his mind when he sees that pool out back .
Quinn : [ Sighs ] You and Eric are just friends .
Katie : Yes .
Quinn : And you love this house , no ulterior motives ?
Katie : No . I love this house .

R.J. : Do you count on bill the same way you count on dad , the same way dad counts on you ? You and dad still love each other , but you re gon na marry Spencer anyway , the last person dad would ever want you to marry . So do what s right in your heart and do what s right for all of us .
Brooke : [ Sighs ]
Ridge : Dollar bill Spencer , always so confident , even when he should nt be .
Bill : [ Chuckles ] See , I - I understand that at the moment Brooke has a certain weakness when it comes to you because R.J. S home and you re using that . But I know where things stand with us . I know what Brooke and I have .
Ridge : And you do nt think even for a second that you are just a tiny , little bump on her journey back to me ?
Bill : You have got to stop dreaming , my man . You re living in the past . You ve got to join the rest of us in the new millennium .

Eric : Katie s one of the good ones , you know . She can be a good friend to you .
Quinn : [ Sighs ] Well , I ll take all that I can get .
Eric : So if her offer s accepted , you would be okay with that ?
Quinn : I told her I would .
Eric : Okay . So you handled this really well . I m proud of you .
Quinn : [ Sighs ] I m trying to be worthy .
Eric : You do that every morning when you open those beautiful eyes of yours .

Katie : Oh , really ? !
Amy : It s yours , Katie . The house is yours .
Katie : Wow . Oh , my gosh . I do nt even know what to say . I m just -- I m completely overwhelmed .
Amy : But happy ?
Katie : Yes . Yes . So happy . Thank you so much . I am so grateful to you and to Eric and -- and rick . Rick told me about the listing , and Eric , you know , he encouraged me to act , and you got me in this place .
Amy : It s a good match , you and this house . I can feel it . I m gon na leave you alone so you can feel it , too .
Katie : [ Chuckles ] Okay .
Amy : I ll be outside .
Katie : All right . Wow .
Eric : Once you find what you re looking for , you do nt have to look anymore .
Katie : What about your wife ? I do nt want Quinn as an enemy , especially if she s living right next door .
Eric : She just does nt know you yet . That s all . And I think she would appreciate very much having a friendly face next door .
Katie : I m home .

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Bill : You wanted a formal proposal . You got it . Do we have a deal ?
Jackie : You want to buy 50 % of Jackie M. why , exactly ?
Bill : I want to be in business with you .
Nick : No . You want to take down Forrester Creations .
Bill : Well , as I told you when we first spoke , I want to give my wife an opportunity to get back into the fashion world . Taking down Forrester would be a bonus . You need me .
Nick : I m feeling a little wary here , like the other shoe s gon na drop .
Bill : Nick , that hurts my feelings . I have been straight with you from the beginning . I give you the financial boost you need and promote the hell out of Jackie M. Now do we have a deal or not ?
Steffy : Liam , you professed your love to Hope . When you got own on one knee in front of all this fashion press with all this media coverage-- I mean , this was like a fairy tale . And she still says she s not ready .
Liam : She wants to wait , Steffy . I mean , I told you I respect that .
Steffy : I know . But it s not what you want .
Liam : I want Hope .
Steffy : Okay , well , then you re gon na have to play by her rules . You ve proven to Hope how committed you are , and instead of being here and celebrating your engagement , she s in Paris . That s not right , Liam . Of course you re frustrated . I mean , how could you not be ?
Thomas : Hope , can I talk to you for a second ?
Hope : Yeah , yeah , I just , um , I just need to get this speech finished before the press conference .
Thomas : Yeah , I m sorry . I just -- I wanted to say I m sorry for lying about what happened between your mom and me .
Hope : I know .
Thomas : And I never should have gone along with my grandma .
Hope : I realize ... ( sighs ) that you were just sucked into Stephanie s lie . So I ... I forgive you . But , Thomas , what you did-- I mean , that was so wrong . That was a huge lie . It almost destroyed my mom s life .
Thomas : Instead , it just messed up my mom s life .
Hope : And sent Steffy right into Bill Spencer s arms .
Brooke : Taylor ? I was looking for Steffy .
Taylor : She s not here .
Brooke : Do you know where she is ? ( Sighs )
Taylor : I was just here to try to find her myself .
Brooke : Steffy knows that Hope went out of town I m afraid she might be with Liam .
Bill : Justin , Marone just left . Oh , yeah , I am , uh , very confident they ll accept . Before you know it , I will own half of Jackie M. , and Forrester wo nt know what hit em .
Bill : I ll call you back . Yes , Hillary ? Really ? Well , this should be entertaining . Send him in .
Bill : Joltin Ridge Forrester , to what do I owe the pleasure ? You want to go another couple rounds ?
Taylor : Steffy s entitled to be wherever she wants to be .
Brooke : Not when it comes to my daughter s fiancé .
Taylor : Why are you so concerned about Liam ? If he s engaged to your daughter , you ought to be able to trust her loves her .
Brooke : I do trust Liam . It s Steffy I do nt trust .
Liam : You know , I never said I was frustrated with Hope .
Steffy : You do nt have to . I mean , it s all over your face , your body language . Any human being in this situation would be aggravated .
Liam : ( Scoffs ) Okay , here s how it works . Hope wants to wait . I love her . I want to be with her . Ergo , I respect her wishes .
Steffy : Okay , the problem is nt her wanting to wait . I ... I guess I could understand that .
Liam : Really ?
Steffy : No , not really , okay ? I mean , why does she want to wait ? What is the reason behind it ? Do you know ? Does Hope even know ?
Liam : What do you want me to say , Steffy ? I mean , it s important to her to wait till her wedding night .
Steffy : Okay , I - I get that s very sweet and old - fashioned , but I m not convinced that s what this is really about .
Liam : Oh . ( Scoffs ) Well , if Steffy thinks it goes deeper then ...
Steffy : Yes , way deeper . You know , Hope is a lot like her mom , more than she even realizes . Brooke uses her body to control men , and Hope is doing the same to control you .
Thorne : I really like these fabrics .
Hope : Yeah , think they re gon na work really well , yeah .
Thomas : Well , it was actually Hope s idea to use natural dye in our fabric .
Thorne : Yeah , well , it s a great selling point .
Hope : Mm , well , environmental awareness is very important to me .
Eric : It should be to everyone .
Hope : Yeah , I think so . I mean , Hope for the Future , it s -- it s a lifestyle . You know , it s about making positive , healthy choices . Young women should feel free to celebrate their youth , you know , not feel pressure to have to grow up too fast and -- and keep up with their peers . I know there are a lot of other-- other people who believe that , too . You know , they just want to slow things down a bit and savor their innocence . I - I do nt know . That s what I m trying to do , and I m really proud of it .
Bill : So you re here to plead for family peace .
Ridge : Your son and my daughter are engaged . Somehow , we re gon na have to find a way to get along .
Bill : A Spencer - Forrester wedding-- great publicity . Drink ?
Ridge : Sure . Those kids are two very special people , Bill .
Bill : Agreed .
Ridge : As their fathers , I really do nt want to be at odds .
Bill : And why do you think that would happen ?
Ridge : Because history has a way of repeating itself . I want to prelude that .
Bill : And this is all because of the engagement ?
Ridge : I have business reasons , too . I have a project that I want our two companies to collaborate on .
Bill : Fill me in .
Ridge : A big media buy , full spectrum-- print , cable , the web , everything . Forrester s new line splashed across Spencer Publications and all your media outlets .
Bill : Hope for the Future and Intimates-- you want me to promote them both ?
Ridge : This new project is gon na be huge for us , Bill . It s gon na be very successful .
Bill : What s in it for me ?
Ridge : The thing you like most ... money . A bigger return on your 12.5 % of Forrester and an exclusive on the Intimates line when it s officially released . If you d like to take a look ... here s the link to our secure web site .
Steffy : You know , I m not gon na let you sit here and mope .
Liam : I m not moping .
Steffy : Yes , you are .
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Steffy : Well , why do nt we go outside , take a walk on the beach , get some fresh air ? Or , you know , I could actually take you to a café , my treat .
Liam : No , thank you .
Steffy : What about a cold dip in the ocean ? You sure could use it .
Liam : No . Ooh .
Steffy : Eh , I m willing to take one for the team . Or we could , um ... a movie . ( Gasps ) No , I got the perfect remedy . Bowling . Yeah .
Liam : I m -- I m sorry . Run that by me again . Steffy Forrester bowling ?
Steffy : What ?
Liam : Really ?
Steffy : ( Laughs ) Okay . I m not in a league or anything .
Liam : No .
Steffy : I do nt have my own ball , or a t - shirt with my name embroidered on the side , but , I do nt know , and I m in a bad mood , bowling puts me in a good mood . I do nt know . I think maybe just knocking down those pins really takes out a lot of aggression . Yeah . What ?
Liam : Nothing . I just have a hard time picturing you wearing those shoes .
Steffy : Oh , those ugly clown shoes . No , no , no , no . I do nt wear those .
Liam : ( Scoffs )
Steffy : I tip the guy 50 bucks so I can bowl in my heels .
Liam : Of course you do .
Steffy : Well , you know , if you want , we could just , you know , chill here .
Liam : I do nt think that s a good idea .
Steffy : Okay , I will be on that side of the couch , and you can be on this side , and there ll be a lot of separation , okay ?
Liam : Oh , well , thank you . Thank you .
Steffy : ( Laughs )
Liam : Look , uh , Steffy , I really-- I appreciate you being here trying to make me laugh and trying to get my mind off of what s going on with Hope . You care , and you re worried about me . And I m fine . I promise I m gon na be okay . But , um , I think you should go . And besides , I - I gotta-- you know , I got ta stop by the office , too , for a little while , so ...
Steffy : Yeah . Yeah . Yeah , okay .
Liam : Yeah .
Steffy : You know , do nt feel guilty about the way you re feeling . Hope is withholding something that s sacred and-- and beautiful from the man who loves her so much . It s not fair to you . Look , um , call me if you change your mind ... about bowling . ( Laughs )
Liam : ( Laughs ) Right .
Steffy : Um , yeah .
Liam : Yeah .
Steffy : Well , I - Ill even wear the shoes for you to make you laugh . Wait , did I really just say that ?
Liam : I think you did .
Steffy : I think I did .
Liam : Yeah , you totally did .
Steffy : That s -- yeah , weird . ( Laughs ) Okay , well , um , see you later .
Eric : I m very glad that you want to send out a positive message .
Thomas : Yeah , me , too .
Hope : Well , I just feel like young women should feel empowered in their own skin . You know , they -- they should nt feel pressure to have to be sexy . I do nt think that s what being a woman is all about .
Thomas : Not that that s a bad thing .
Hope : No , it s -- it s not . But I think our generation should know that they have a choice . I mean , wanting to wait-- it does nt make you a prude .
Thorne : Does your new fiancé feel the same way ?
Hope : Getting engaged has nt changed anything for me . I m not embarrassed to say it . Uh , we re waiting until we re married . Surprised ? ( Laughs )
Eric : I think that s wonderful . I think that if it s that important to you , that you re gon na stand by your convictions . That s good .
Hope : Liam knows how important it is to me , and he loves me enough to wait .
Liam : Hey .
Bill : Hey .
Liam : What are you lookin at ?
Bill : Sneak a peek .
Liam : Whoa . Where d you get that ?
Bill : Forrester wants to do a huge media buy . They want to focus on the Intimates campaign .
Liam : What d you tell em ?
Bill : I told em to talk to you . That s pretty much your area now . Here s the link . Ridge is clearly concerned that Steffy and I might get involved again .
Liam : Why ? She s not into you anymore .
Bill : You still think she s interested in you ?
Liam : ( Scoffs ) Dad , at this point , I know she is .
Brooke : Stop encouraging Steffy s feelings for Liam .
Taylor : That s not what I m doing . My daughter is an adult . She has her own mind . I m not going to demand that she stop having feelings for somebody .
Brooke : She s going after another man who s unavailable , another man who s committed to a Logan . Do you think that s a coincidence ? No , it is a habit . Come on , Taylor . You re her mother . Get her to put an end to this . Otherwise , she will get hurt .
Steffy : Hi , Mom .
Taylor : Hi , sweetheart .
Steffy : What are you two guys doing ?
Taylor : I was looking for you .
Steffy : Oh .
Taylor : So was Brooke .
Brooke : Where were you just now ?
Steffy : Uh , okay . Not like it s any of your business , but , um , I was at Liam s .
Bill : We talked about this , Liam , and you re not listening to your dad . Any interest Steffy is showing in you is because she wants revenge against me .
Liam : ( Chuckles ) You re full of yourself .
Bill : That s irrelevant . I know how Steffy operates . This is her M.O. She fell for me . I broke it off . Now she s pissed and goin after you . You better keep your guard up , slick .
Liam : Hey . Did you make it to Paris okay ?
Hope : Yeah , we did . We just checked into the hotel , and everything is so gorgeous , Liam .
Liam : Nice . I miss you .
Hope : I miss you , too . Hey , Liam , a - about how we left things , we re gon na make this work , okay ? I love you so much , and -- and I ca nt wait to announce our engagement to the world .
Liam : Hey , Hope , uh , wait-- wait -- wait a second . Um , I have ... ( stammers ) I ve been , uh , thinking a lot about this , and -- and , you know , I proposed to you , and we only really had one night together , and then you left , and I m -- I m ... ( sighs ) I m kind of feeling like ... I just ... want to be with my fiancée , you know ? Like--
Hope : Listen , Liam . This is really , really hard for me , too , okay ? But -- but it s -- it s gon na be worth the wait for both of us it will be I mean , our honeymoon night will be incredible . I - I have to go right now , but I will call you later . I love you .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Brooke : Do you really think it s appropriate to be spending time alone with a man who s engaged to another woman ?
Steffy : Okay , okay , look , there s something not right with their relationship . You know , even ask my mom . She is a psychiatrist . She agrees .
Taylor : Well , I have heard Hope s speeches on morality . And I know she wants to wait , and I think that that s a very remarkable trait , if that s what she s really doing , if it s coming from healthy place . But I do know that Liam does nt exactly feel the same way .
Brooke : You need to respect their engagement and respect my daughter . She s a lovely young woman who is making her own decisions with Liam , and you ca nt condemn that .
Taylor : Well , I ve got ta say , I - I think that maybe there are some issues going on with that maybe she s not even admitting to or realizes they re there .
Steffy : Look , Brooke , Hope has this amazing guy who just wants her so bad , but she keeps messing with his head . You know , she s making him feel guilty about something that is completely natural . It s wrong .
Brooke : Do nt try to rationalize this , Steffy .
Taylor : I have to agree . What I -- what I think Steffy s trying to say is that there s something else going on with Hope . It seems like she s maybe reacting to something and maybe she wants to wait out of something based on fear , and I - I really ca nt say that I blame her after everything that she s gone through growing up , watching her mother go through the laundry list of men-- I - I have to say that maybe she s afraid of physical intimacy .
Brooke : Oh , my God . Just stay out of it , Taylor . You , too , Steffy . Liam and Hope will work out their relationship .
Steffy : Maybe . Maybe not .
Brooke : I ll be watching you . So will my sisters . Do nt mess with Liam . It would be the biggest mistake you could make .

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Lily : Are you saying that -- that you forgive me ?
Devon : I m saying there s nothing to forgive . Cause I love you .
Billy : Welcome to the after party . I kind of started without you .
Jack : Any bet , whether it s for 2 bucks or $ 2 million , horses , cards , brackets , it does nt matter . Any bet is one bet too many for someone who s addicted to gambling .
Ashley : Go to rehab and i will do everything in my power , I will make it my mission on earth to fix our relationship .
Phyllis : You bet a half a million dollars that you got from a loan shark ?
Billy : This is ... so much worse .
Phyllis : How could it be worse ?
Billy : Cause I did nt borrow the money from a loan shark . I took it from jabot .
Kyle : Right now , Traci s the only one who can replace Billy if he s ousted . Is nt that the real reason you called her ?
Lauren : Okay .
Gloria : Ah ! Da , da , da , da ! You ca nt go in there .
Lauren : We have a meeting .
Gloria : I do nt care . I showed up early . There was a note on my desk from Billy . He does nt want to be disturbed for any reason .
Lauren : Then buzz him and tell him I m here .
Gloria : Until I hear differently from the boss man , that door stays closed .
Lauren : [ Sighs ]
Phyllis : It s gon na start getting busy out there soon . We need to get into this at some point .
Billy : I just need a second to think .
Phyllis : What you need to do is let me help you . Stop pushing me away .
Billy : IM ... mad at myself right now .
Phyllis : Well , get in line . I m furious at you . We can take turns beating you up after we fix this .
Billy : You really think that s a possibility ? You think I m gon na be able to replace half a million dollars that I borrowed from jabot before anybody realizes that it s gone ? Me either . [ Sighs ]
Ashley : You avoiding me ?
Traci : Ahh . [ Chuckles ] No . Not just you . Myself . [ Sighs ] Since my intervention idea failed abysmally , I ve had a headache that just wo nt quit .
Ashley : Can I get you something for that ?
Traci : Oh , no . I think getting out of the house may cure me . And there s something that i want to do that just ca nt wait . So I ll see you later , okay ?
Ashley : Okay . I ll see you later . Mwah !
Kyle : You think Traci s got a headache now , just wait till she finds out Billy s been embezzling .
Ashley : Do nt start .
Kyle : Somebody s got to since you did nt step up last night . All you had to do was tell everybody he s stealing from the company , and he d be out .
Kyle : Why keep quiet ? Unless you have something to gain from keeping that tidbit to yourself .
Victor : Hi , my sweetheart .
Nikki : Hi .
Victor : Interesting you chose to meet here .
Nikki : Not really . Sharon is about to become our daughter - in - law -- again .
Victor : [ Sighs ] We are not here to support a family business now , are we ?
Nikki : You have always put family first . And there s more than one way to support us . As in escorting me to our son s wedding .
Victor : Sweetheart , I do nt want to go to that damn wedding . I mean , let s first find out what Sharon is brewing in her tea , okay ?
Nikki : Oh , victor . Come on .
Victor : No , baby . The answer s no . I do nt want to go there . But I can use a cup of coffee . Thank you . Additional sponsorship
Traci : Oh !
Lily : Hi ! [ Both chuckling ] Oh , my god . Thank you for coming .
Traci : I wish I had been here sooner .
Lily : It s okay . Reading your letters was almost as good as seeing you . Did you get mine ?
Traci : Uh , not yet .
Lily : Oh . Okay . Maybe they just take longer screening our mail .
Traci : Yeah . But I m here now .
Lily : Yeah .
Traci : So fill me in . Lily ... how are you holding up ?
Lily : I m -- I m good . Heh ...
Traci : I hope you do nt feel like you have to hold back with me .
Lily : Uh ... well , I mean , I was expecting claustrophobia and boredom and scary inmates . But ... the hardest part has been the guilt . You know , I m the reason that Hilary died , and , in here , there s nothing to do but think about what I did , and how it s hurt my family .
Traci : How are things between you and your brother ?
Lily : Um ... well , you know , at first , i think he felt like forgiving me was betraying Hilary .
Traci : And that s changed ?
Lily : Yeah . He , um ... he came here , and we talked . And I think we can survive this .
Traci : Oh ! That s so good to hear .
Lily : Yeah .
Traci : And , um , what about cane ?
Lily : He s doing great with the kids , with me . Yeah . [ Chuckles ]
Traci : So , what can i do for you , honey ?
Lily : Um ... oh , gosh . Let s talk about anything except me being in here , please .
Traci : [ Laughs ] Okay . You got it .
Lily : What are you doing here ? I thought you were on a book tour ?
Traci : Ahh . I was . But I had to cut it short and come home . [ Sighs ] A family matter .
Lily : Oh . Is everything okay ?
Traci : Well , um , I - I thought I knew what I could do to help , but that did nt go the way i hoped , so now I m just trying to keep from making things worse .
Ashley : Well , why did nt you bring up the embezzlement ?
Kyle : I m following your lead . I may not understand your strategy , but I do nt doubt you ll make it work .
Ashley : Fantastic . Let s leave it at that .
Kyle : But it d be nice to know why you sat on the most damaging piece of information we have about Billy .
Ashley : You know what ? I m not trying to destroy my brother . The whole point of the intervention is to give him a wake - up call so he gets the help he needs .
Kyle : Mm . And a nice byproduct being him resigning from the C.E.O. Office so you can eventually take over . You re looking at me like that s news .
Ashley : I have my loyalties .
Kyle : So do I. To you . I ve had your back all the way in this . All I m asking in return is for you to be up front with me .
Ashley : You know what ? I find your callousness towards Billy to be rather disturbing , Kyle .
Kyle : [ Sighs ]
Ashley : I mean , he s not some exec du jour that you re trying to edge out of the corner office . He is your uncle .
Kyle : There s nothing I want more than for Billy to beat this .
Ashley : Nothing ?
Kyle : He s a screw - up . But , deep down , a good guy . That intervention proved it . Everybody there loves him and was looking out for him . But I also want what you want -- to protect jabot . And that means removing the guy who s stealing from it .
Ashley : Okay , well , we go public with this , and the ramifications could be catastrophic for Billy . And I do nt need to go there .
Kyle : How long can you afford to keep quiet on this ? Until Billy s gambled away $ 1 million in assets ? $ 2 million ?
Ashley : I m not gon na let it go that far .
Kyle : So how will you stop him ? He s an addict . Keeping quiet about the embezzlement might be hurting him more than helping .
Phyllis : You dodged a bullet . Okay ? There were no charges filed , and we managed to keep the arrest quiet .
Billy : Nothing happened . I mean , I should nt have pushed the bartender when he cut me off . Fine . Lesson learned .
Phyllis : It s not about the damn bartender , Billy . You have to answer to board members who could still fire you .
Billy : And hire who ? I m the last blood Abbott standing .
Phyllis : It takes one member to raise a question that could lead someone to look deeper into the books . You need to reimburse the company now .
Billy : Will you stop telling me what I already know ? Phyllis , I m sorry . I m sorry .
Phyllis : I m trying to help you .
Billy : I un-- I know . I just -- I do nt see a way out of this , okay ? I do nt have $ 500,000 lying around .
Phyllis : You have investments ?
Billy : Non - liquid assets . They ca nt be converted in time .
Phyllis : Okay . I can give you what I have in my savings . It s not gon na be enough . But if we pool what we have together , it could cover half of the 500 grand .
Billy : Stop . No . I m not gon na let you do that .
Phyllis : You ca nt afford to turn me down .
Billy : I took money from a company that my father built from the ground up . I am not gon na let you bail me out with your savings account . That s not happening .
Phyllis : I am your partner . I love you .
Billy : After everything I ve done ?
Phyllis : What are you talking about ? We both have done bad things , and we ve learned . I m not turning my back on you right now .
Billy : So instead , what ? You crawl into this hole with me ? Thanks . But no way .
Lauren : Could you at least buzz him and tell him that -- oh , well , finally . Did you forget we had a meeting ?
Billy : I m sorry . There s just a lot going on this morning . Um , I m sorry to keep you waiting . Can we , uh , use your office ?
Lauren : Yes . Of course .
Gloria : You need anything ?
Billy : No . Everything s great . Actually , I ll take a coffee , please .
Gloria : Coffee . And one for Lauren ? Smooth over the waters ?
Lauren : Perfect !
Billy : Thanks .
Gloria : Yeah .
Phyllis : Hey . What brings you by ?
Jack : I tried to call and text Billy several times since last night . He has nt responded to any of my communications , and I thought I d come by , see what s going on , see if I can help .
Phyllis : There might be something you can do .
Victor : There are hundreds of reasons why it is a very bad idea for me to attend the wedding .
Nikki : Name one .
Victor : It would cause a lot of trouble .
Nikki : Well , that s where your well - known restraint comes in .
Victor : It has nothing to do with my restraint .
Nikki : Do you really think that Nicholas would ruin his own wedding ?
Victor : Hi , sweetheart .
Abby : Hi , Dad . Hi , Nikki .
Nikki : Hi .
Abby : I m gon na join you . I m stealing a chair .
Nikki : Good , good .
Victor : Well , now , that s kind of you .
Abby : Hi . Mwah !
Nikki : Hi , honey . Mwah !
Victor : Wait a minute . Did you call for backup or what ?
Nikki : Mnh - mnh .
Abby : [ Laughs ] I volunteered .
Nikki : [ Chuckles ]
Victor : Had it occurred to either of you that Nicholas would not be very happy if I came to witness his nuptials ?
Abby : That s where you re wrong .
Victor : How can I be wrong ? Did he ask you to invite me or what ?
Abby : Well , I have nt spoken to nick about it , but --
Victor : So , then , why ?
Abby : Dad .
Victor : What ?
Abby : In my heart , I know that no matter what our differences are , no matter how strained our relationship is , I would want my dad at my wedding . What if , someday , I was looking at photos of my wedding day , maybe with my kids , and my dad was nt in those shots ? How would I explain that to them ? Especially if the reason you stayed away was just business ?
Victor : Well , this goes much deeper than that , okay ?
Nikki : So does the bond between parent and child .
Traci : Since the intervention was a bust , I ve just got to find a way to get Billy the help he needs . So I wanted to ask you , what did you do with Neil and his alcoholism ?
Lily : Oh ... um ... you know , interventions never really helped my dad , either . But mostly , you know , I just -- I prayed , and I loved him through the times when he was nt sober .
Traci : No tough love ?
Lily : Oh , there was plenty of that . Plenty . But ... I do nt know . I guess I - I hauled out the big guns for when it was obvious that he was hurting himself and others . Sorry . I did nt mean to sound like I know everything . I mean ... consider the source .
Traci : I am . I am listening to my friend , lily , who is a wise woman .
Lily : Oh , yeah . Where was that wise woman when I ran the red light ?
Traci : I hope you re not gon na punish yourself about this the rest of your life .
Lily : I go in and out . But it s getting better . And talking to Devon really helped me . You know , I have to acknowledge what I did , but not let it consume me . And it s my family . My family is what keeps me going .
Traci : And if you ca nt count on your family , you ca nt count on anyone .
Kyle : It s simple . We go to Billy and , behind closed doors , we tell him what we know , and give him a say in what happens next . He s smart enough to see that , if he resigns , he ll walk away with some semblance of dignity , lots of sympathy , and get to work on the bigger problem of his gambling by himself .
Ashley : Okay . Well , I know my brother , and he ll double down and fight us on this .
Kyle : Not if we --
Ashley : How is this any different than how he walked out of the intervention ? I mean , honestly ? Then we ll lose whatever control we have , and then things will spiral out , and maybe Billy will be so damaged , he ll never recover . So I do nt have any interest in going there , Kyle , okay ? Not when I have other options .
Kyle : What options ?
Ashley : It was nt my idea to have this intervention . It was Traci s .
Kyle : Because she s reluctant to step in at jabot .
Ashley : Yes . But her tactic did nt work , did it ? So I m going to make her realize that we have to vote Billy out . She has to step in . That that s the only choice we have .
Kyle : You think she s ready to accept that ?
Ashley : Well , you know , how could she not ? She realizes that Billy rejected our attempts to get him help .
Kyle : Okay . When will you talk to her ?
Ashley : Today . We ll get what we want . And we ll push Billy into getting the help he needs .
Jack : How deep is he in ?
Phyllis : Billy and i can cover a lot of it . Not all of it . We would need about $ 250,000 .
Jack : Oh , god . I am aware of Billy s propensity for going down rabbit holes , but this is worse than i imagined .
Phyllis : Trust me , I -- I can understand the irony of me coming to you on Billy s behalf . And I know that maybe this is --
Jack : What ? Asking too much ?
Phyllis : Just ... if you could put our history aside for a moment and look at what will always be true -- that he is your brother .
Jack : A brother who betrayed me .
Phyllis : He needs you . Just like you needed help in the past .
Jack : You re collecting a favor ?
Phyllis : You do nt owe me . Or Billy . There s only one reason for you to be doing this , and it s because you care for him . And if I could get the money some other way , if I could ask somebody else , I would . There s no one else , jack .
Gloria : This is nt a good time .
Kyle : I agreed I would protect you , but only in exchange for your assistance .
Gloria : Which I gave you . But I still hate stabbing Billy in the back the way I did .
Kyle : Do nt be so dramatic . The company comes first .
Gloria : What do you want now ?
Kyle : Just tell me what s going on with Billy this morning .
Gloria : Nothing . He came in early . He was with Phyllis . They wanted privacy .
Kyle : That s it ?
Gloria : Yes , that s it !
Kyle : [ Sighs ] Put me through to the finance department .
Gloria : You have the number . You do it yourself . [ Receiver slams ] Ugh !
Billy : You okay ?
Gloria : Yeah . It s just , you know , sometimes people can be so frustrating .
Billy : Okay , well , you never have to put up with that , all right ? Anybody ever gives you a hard time , you send them to me .
Gloria : Billy .
Billy : Yeah ? What s wrong ?
Gloria : I m sorry .
Billy : Gloria ?
Gloria : You may not want to go in there .
Jack : So , if I do this , if I save Billy , am I really helping him ?
Phyllis : Honestly , I do nt know . [ Sighs ] I go through the same thing with summer . You know , as her mother , my inclination is to get in there and to fix everything . But sometimes I think it does more harm than good .
Jack : And this time ? With Billy ?
Phyllis : It is different . It s different . He knows he messed up in a big way . He owns it . He admits it . He is never gon na do it again . This is not about teaching him a lesson . This is about containing the damage .
Jack : If this was the first time that life taught Billy he has no business gambling , I would agree . What -- what guarantee do we have that it s gon na sink in this time ?
Phyllis : None . But ask yourself what john Abbott would do .
Jack : Do nt do that . That does nt pertain .
Phyllis : Of course it does . Billy may be john s only biological son , but you have inherited the best traits of that man . And you know that john would help him if he were alive .
Jack : You make a good case . And I know it could nt have been easy to come to me , of all people .
Phyllis : I have no right to ask you this .
Jack : You had to . You know what ? Billy s a lucky man to have someone who will fight this passionately for him .
Phyllis : And ... ?
Jack : And I ll help .
Phyllis : [ Sobbing ] Thank you ! Thank you .
Billy : Phyllis ?
Phyllis : Heh . There s a really good reason why I m hugging your brother .
Billy : Yeah ? What s that ?
Jack : Your extensive and expensive gambling debts .
Billy : [ Sighs ] So you told him everything ?
Jack : Phyllis has nt told me who you owe the money to , but whether it s a loan shark or a bookie , does it really matter ? They want their cash . They want it now .
Phyllis : Jack s agreed to help .
Billy : [ Sighs ] Well , what if i do nt want his help ?
Phyllis : That s not an option . You know what is at stake . And you can not resent me for going behind your back to ask jack for help . If I could do it any other way , I would .
Billy : There s got to be another way .
Jack : You have a woman in your life who loves you so much she s willing to go to her ex to repay your debts . Do nt you dare take that for granted . She s just given you a priceless gift . All that s expected of you is that you be man enough to take it .
Billy : Well , I know that I m a jerk . But I also know how lucky I am to be loved by you . And have a brother like you . I ll take all the help I can get .
Jack : I do require something in return , though .
Ashley : How s your headache ?
Traci : [ Sighs ] Well , getting out of the house did help a little bit . But because the reason for my headache did nt go away ...
Ashley : So you are worried about Billy .
Traci : Are nt you ?
Ashley : I m terrified . And I hate to do this to you , but I do nt think we have any choice . We have to revisit the conversation we had earlier .
Traci : I - I ca nt --
Ashley : Before the intervention , when I first brought up Billy s gambling , I was sure the only option we had was to call a board meeting and vote Billy out . Have you step in as C.E.O. Just long enough to get rid of the blood Abbott clause . And I am more convinced than ever that that is our only choice .
Traci : To protect jabot .
Ashley : To stop Billy from destroying his life .
Traci : [ Sighs ] Look , I understand why you feel this way . But my answer is still no .
Ashley : I am trying to help our brother !
Traci : So am I.
Ashley : He just missed the intervention , Traci .
Traci : And that is a huge disappointment . But I have got to hope that he s gon na manage to find some way to turn this around on his own .
Ashley : Are you insane ? That s not possible .
Traci : Anything is possible . I will not humiliate our brother by displacing him as C.E.O. Just because he s gambling again .
Ashley : Ejecting him from his job and humiliating him is exactly what s gon na happen if you do nt step in as C.E.O. The young and the restless will continue .
Lily : [ Chuckling ]
Charlie : I mean , the surprise , the presents ...
Mattie : Shauna loved it all .
Lily : Oh , good . I m glad she had a good time . You know , with Hilary gone , it -- it could have been a sad birthday . Well , now we can start planning Halloween .
Charlie : Mm - hmm .
Mattie : I hate this . All -- all this smiling and pretending that everything s normal . You re in prison due to an unjust sentence .
Lily : Well , I , um ... I had a visitor today . Traci Abbott . Every time I see her , she reminds me of my best friend , colleen .
Charlie : She died in college , right ?
Lily : Mm - hmm .
Mattie : That seemed so old when we were little . And so young now .
Lily : [ Sighs ] Puts things in perspective , right ? Listen , you guys , as awful as this is , we are so lucky . We re healthy . We have each other . And we can look at a calendar and know when we ll be under the same roof again .
Charlie : So I do nt get to feel sorry for myself ?
Lily : [ Chuckles ]
Charlie : That s a bummer .
Mattie : And I should stop protesting your imprisonment .
Lily : Yeah , I would really love it if you do nt get arrested again .
Mattie : [ Laughs ]
Lily : I mean , look at your brother . He s do--
Charlie : Actually , Mattie s not the only one who messed up . I was skipping school .
Lily : What ?
Charlie : A lot .
Lily : Your dad never & said anything --
Mattie : Dad did nt know . I helped Charlie cover .
Lily : Why were you skip--
Charlie : I just could nt deal .
Lily : [ Sighs ]
Charlie : Are you mad ?
Lily : Mmph ... [ Sighs ] No . Listen , I -- I know the past few weeks have been rough . I know that . So I get why you would act out . You know , you re overwhelmed . But you do nt have that luxury now . It s your senior year . You can not jeopardize your future .
Charlie : Yeah , I know . I hear you . You re right . I ve stopped skipping .
Lily : Really ?
Charlie : I swear .
Mattie : He had incentive .
Charlie : What are you doing ?
Mattie : Well , you got to tell her the rest .
Charlie : There s nothing left to tell .
Lily : Okay , I ll be the judge of that . Tell me .
Charlie : I --
Lily : Okay . Would you rather me spend sleepless nights wondering what else you re hiding from me ?
Mattie : Charlie made a deal with uncle Devon .
Lily : Wait , what kind of -- what kind of deal ?
Mattie : Charlie would start going back to school ... if uncle Devon came to visit you .
Billy : A list of rehab centers ?
Jack : Pick one . Commit to it . I ll pay for it . You get the help you need . That s the price for my doing this .
Phyllis : Seems like a fair exchange .
Billy : Okay . I ll do it .
Jack : You better not be playing me .
Billy : I ve hit bottom , brother . Time to start digging myself out .
Jack : I ll call my money guy , get the money transferred .
Phyllis : Thank you , jack .
Billy : [ Sighs ]
Phyllis : I know you re angry .
Traci : So you re really going through with this ?
Ashley : Yep . I do nt have a choice .
Traci : [ Sighs ]
Billy : Come on . What -- what s going on here ? I ve received jack s transfer , but I - it -- this has got to be a software glitch or something . It s not letting me transfer the funds back into the jabot account that I took it from . Access to this account denied ? Come on !
Phyllis : Billy . Look at this . Look at this .
Billy : Hold -- hold on a second .
Gloria : Hey . Ashley s called a board meeting .
Billy : What s the agenda ?
Phyllis : You .
Nikki : You know , there s not a lot of time left for you to change your mind .
Victor : [ Sighs ] All right . Some of the things Abby said had an effect .
Nikki : Just not enough to get you to come to the wedding ?
Victor : Well , I still do nt have an invitation .
Nikki : Well , I do . And I can bring a plus - one . Problem solved .
Victor : Oh , baby , that s not the point .
Nikki : Maybe this is an opportunity .
Victor : To what end ?
Nikki : To let your son know that you still love him , despite everything . And to let him know that you understand that events like this , gestures like this , they can lead to actual healing . And I really believe that that s what you and Nicholas both would like . No matter how much you do nt want to admit it . You only get a certain amount of chance to put things right .
Jack : Hey . I was barely to the dark horse offices when I got a text that there s a board meeting here . What s going on ?
Billy : It s obvious . Ashley wants me out . It s an ambush .
Lauren : I ve been filled in about Billy s gambling .
Jack : Okay , you know this might not be happening if you had nt walked out on that intervention ?
Billy : Well ...
Abby : Uncle jack s probably right .
Phyllis : Billy has agreed to get help now . He s going to rehab .
Abby : Really ? When did this happen ?
Phyllis : Just now .
Lauren : You mean after you got the text for this meeting ?
Jack : No . Before that . He told me . And I believe he ll keep to his word .
Billy : So does that mean i have your vote ?
Jack : You do .
Abby : I have to see what my mom has to say first , but ...
Lauren : You know , if you agree to seek treatment , that could sway my vote .
Phyllis : What s the point in all this ? Even if Ashley gets all of the votes , Billy can not be removed unless Traci agrees to step in on a temp basis .
Jack : And I do nt see that happening .
Traci : Then why put everyone through a board meeting ? I told you , I m not gon na take Billy s job .
Ashley : I m hoping that you ll change your mind when you hear what everybody has to say .
Traci : Well , if that s what you re counting on , you better cancel this right now . I do not want to hurt Billy , and I would like to think you do nt want to hurt him , either .
Kyle : Ashley . What s happening ?
Ashley : Traci refuses to help me .
Kyle : Then what s the point of a board meeting ?
Billy : You re late for your own meeting . Now we have a quorum , I call this meeting to order . I believe it will be a quick one . I hereby make a motion to suspend usual protocol and get to the issue at hand .
Lauren : Seconded .
Billy : I believe my sister has something she would like to say .
Ashley : We all have a responsibility for the welfare of this company . And I personally find it extremely problematic that our C.E.O. Has a gambling addiction . Billy , I m not trying to attack you . It is my biggest hope that you will get the help you need . That s why we staged an intervention . And , um , I d like to think that this meeting is an extension of that . And I hope you all will , too , as you consider your vote of no confidence .
Phyllis : This is all pointless . Billy has agreed to go to rehab .
Traci : Wait , you changed your mind ?
Billy : [ Sighs ] Somebody helped me see that that is the right choice for me and for the company .
Phyllis : So , since Billy has agreed to get some help , he does nt need to be voted out . He just needs a little time out , that s all .
Kyle : I - it could be months , years until Billy has his addiction under control . Rehab is nt a quick fix . In the meantime , the future of this company is on the line .
Traci : Oh , no , no , no . If we love Billy , we give him our support . Period .
Lauren : Look , I m all for rehab . But who is gon na fill in for Billy while he s gone ?
Ashley : Listen to me , please . [ Arguing stops ] I suppose I can understand that Billy s addiction is nt enough for some of you to vote no confidence . But it should be . It has to be . Because Billy is nt just a gambler . Billy s a thief .
Jack : Wha-- a thief ? What s that supposed to mean ?
Ashley : He stole half a million dollars from the company to support his habit .
Jack : Billy ?
Nikki : [ Sighs ]
Victor : All right . I ll go .
Nikki : Good decision .
Victor : But only as a favor to you and to Abby , okay , and to see my grandchildren .
Nikki : And that s it ?
Victor : That s it . Do nt you blame me if something goes wrong , all right ?
Nikki : Mnh - mnh .
Victor : I mean , this is our son , Nicholas , getting married to Sharon , of all people -- again .
Charlie : Uncle Devon wanted to visit , and he would have eventually , I just --
Lily : I know . Listen . Listen . You did an amazing and generous thing . Because of you , I did nt have to wait weeks or months to see my brother . But skipping school , that is over , okay ?
Charlie : Yeah , I know . Mattie keeps drilling into me how important this year is .
Lily : And you .
Mattie : We ll help keep each other out of trouble . I promise .
Lily : Listen , we have to be honest with each other , okay ? You ca nt be afraid to share things with me just because I m in prison .
Charlie : And when this place starts to get to you , you ll let us know ?
Lily : We re in this together .
Phyllis : How could you do this to him ?
Traci : I just do nt understand . Before , at the club , you never said one word about this .
Jack : Because it s a lie .
Ashley : I would nt lie about something like this .
Kyle : As sorry as I am to have to say this , it is true . I invited everyone to examine the general expenditures account .
Lauren : All right . Why do nt you save us a lot of time and tell us what we would see ?
Kyle : Half a million transferred out , a few nights ago , to a bank account in new york . I have the readouts right here .
Lauren : Let me see that .
Traci : Is this true , Billy ?
Jack : Answer her . Tell us this is a lie that they cooked up about you , some kind of misunderstanding .
Billy : [ Sighs ] I ca nt tell you that .
Abby : What s that supposed to mean ?
Lauren : Do you realize the damage that you have done to this company ? And possibly Fenmore s ?
Jack : There s got to be some explanation -- some reason beyond gambling .
Kyle : ... Gambling with your own money , but jabot s ? That s criminal .
Lauren : Answer us !
Abby : Please tell me this is nt true .
Lauren : You have to have some sort of defense .
Ashley : Point of order . I would like to call for a vote of no confidence in Billy Abbott . Coming up on The Young and The Restless ...
Traci : I m so sorry , Billy . I m willing to serve as C.E.O. of jabot .
Mariah : Just curious . Any unfinished business with those other significant women ?
Victor : I m simply saying what everyone is thinking -- Nicholas was stood up by Sharon . The question is , why ?

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Nick : Yeah , they re about to wrap the initial investigation . There s a list of hotels . The one on the top s supposed to be the best .
Massimo : Okay . Oh , god . I hope Ridge is there , safe and sound .
Brooke : And when I came out of that room , he was gone .
Manager : Have you checked the lounges ?
Brooke : Yes .
Manager : And the beach ?
Brooke : Yes .
Manager : Maybe -- sometimes our guests go for long walks .
Brooke : All night ?
Manager : Maybe if you want , I can put in a call to the local bars .
Brooke : We are on our honeymoon . My husband is not going to leave me to go get drunk at some bar all night .
Manager : Take it easy , SeÑora Forrester .
Brooke : Look , do nt you hear what I m saying ? Something happened to Ridge . He is in trouble . I know he is .
Stephanie : Hey , no comments from the peanut gallery , all right ? [ Dog barks ] I do nt know . What do you think ? I think the hat probably looks better than what s under it , do nt you ? [ Dog barks ] no ?
Samantha : Help !
Stephanie : Chicken . Okay , I m coming ! Lord , here , let me help you .
Samantha : We may have been born to shop , but we were not meant to carry packages .
Stephanie : Well , looks like someone went a little overboard today .
Samantha : Oh , no , just a little something to go with your new do .
Stephanie : What ? There is nt an outfit in town that can possibly rectify this haircut that Sally has given me .
Samantha : Oh , we ll see about that . And there s something else . My very good friend , Rafael of London , happens to be in town for a couple of weeks at his Beverly Hills salon , and , well , hold your horses . Surprise . Stephanie Forrester , meet Rafael .
Rafael : A pleasure .
Stephanie : Hello , how are you ? It s nice to see you . It s kind of embarrassing .
Rafael : Oh , well , this is Sophie and Laurie , and I understand we re here to give you a makeover .
Stephanie : A makeover ? I think you re gon na need a miracle .
Rafael : Oh , well , miracles are my business .
Stephanie : Oh .
Manager : Si , gracias . Adios . I checked the hospital and the clinics . No one s answering to your husband s description .
Brooke : Well , then , call the police .
Manager : But SeÑora Forrester --
Brooke : He could be lying somewhere hurt , unable to get help . [ Knock on door ] Ridge . Thank god , you re all right --
Massimo : I m too late , are nt I ?
Manager : I ll let you know anything as soon as I hear it , okay ?
Brooke : Thanks , yeah .
Massimo : What did they do ? What did they do to my son ?
Brooke : I do nt understand . How did you know we were here ?
Massimo : There was an incident off the coast here . It involved one of my tankers . When I got on my jet , what happened was --
Brooke : Oh , your pilot ? You forced your pilot to tell you where he dropped us off .
Massimo : That s not important now , Brooke . Tell me about Ridge . How long has he been gone ? Brooke , what happened ?
Massimo : Say something , damn it !
Brooke : Why should I ? You have all the answers .
Massimo : What ? What the hell -- I have no idea what the hell you are talking about .
Brooke : No , Massimo , you never do .
Massimo : Wait a minute , wait a minute , wait a minute . Oh , I see , I get it . You -- you re blaming me for this .
Brooke : All right , where is he ? Where did you take him ?
Massimo : You could nt be more wrong .
Brooke : You heard that we were going to elope , and you could nt let that happen , so you grabbed him when i was nt looking to get him as far away from me as possible .
Massimo : No . Brooke , no .
Brooke : So that he would nt marry the worthless piece of trash . Well , it s too late , Massimo . Because I am already Mrs. Ridge Forrester . And there s not a damn thing that you can do about it !
Massimo : You listen to me , you understand ? I had absolutely nothing to do with this .
Brooke : Oh , god , I m sure this was just another prank of yours to keep me away from Ridge . When I think of everything that you have resorted to -- you ruined my relationship with my father , and you nearly cost me my relationship with my daughter . You tried to rob me of every person that I love in this world . Well , no more , Massimo . No more ! I am not going to let you do that anymore !
Toro : Do nt move . Even if you get it off , you re not going anywhere .
Ridge : What is this ? Who are you guys ? What -- what the hell s going on here ?
Toro : Retribution , mi amigo . You are going to help us get what we deserve .
Ridge : Me ? Why -- why would I -- look , guys -- obviously , there s some mistake here . I m a tourist . Tourista ? Comprende ? Just on my honeymoon .
Juan : Do nt move .
Ridge : Gentlemen , I think you have the wrong guy .
Toro : No , we do nt -- seÑor Marone .
Rafael : Oh , dear . And you said a friend did this to you ?
Stephanie : More like an acquaintance .
Samantha : Well , if anyone can fix Sally s handiwork , it s Rafael .
Rafael : Yeah , and I like a challenge .
Stephanie : God knows you ve got one .
Rafael : All right , let s get started . I m gon na need to --
Samantha : Just relax and enjoy . He s a real artiste .
Brooke : I m through being hurt by you . I m not gon na be taken in by you , I m not gon na be manipulated by you . I just want you out of my life , and I want you out of my husband s life .
Massimo : Hold it . Hold it ! Now , stop your idiotic ranting , and you pay attention to me , Brooke . I do not have Ridge . You understand that ? God knows I wish I did , but it appears as if he s been taken by some terrorists .
Brooke : Terrorists ?
Massimo : Yes , they want cash money , power , I do nt know , whatever the hell they want .
Brooke : Stop it , I do not believe you !
Massimo : It is the truth .
Nick : Believe him , Brooke .
Brooke : Nick .
Nick : He s being straight with you . We re dealing with a dangerous bunch here . Forrester s gon na need help from all of us .
Stephanie : Yes , I can see that you re an artiste . Wish you could fix my life as easily as you seem to be able to fix my hair .
Samantha : Stephanie s had a few personal and professional setbacks lately .
Rafael : Oh , well , then , perhaps your blitz barber s done you a favor , really . I mean , sometimes you need to get down to your lowest point , really stripped of all your defenses , like Samson shorn of all his hair , before you can recognize and really reclaim your inner strength .
Stephanie : Hmm . Psychiatrist in the disguise of a hairstylist , I see .
Rafael : Oh , it s all one and the same , really . I mean , true style is about feeling at ease with yourself on every level . I mean , knowing who you are in here and then just recognizing it and reflecting it out here .
Stephanie : So you practice and you preach , no pretense .
Rafael : Uh - huh . I mean , your hair color , for instance -- is it natural ?
Stephanie : Oh , come on now . You know as well as I it s natural from the bottle .
Rafael : Well , how would you feel about throwing it away ?
Stephanie : You mean go silver ?
Rafael : Uh - huh .
Samantha : Great idea .
Stephanie : What ?
Samantha : Very modern . Oh , very chic .
Rafael : Oh , yeah . And you d be making a bold statement .
Stephanie : Oh , really ?
Rafael : Uh , huh .
Stephanie : All right , what the hell ? Why not take a chance ?
Brooke : I do nt understand .
Nick : There s a lot we still do nt know .
Brooke : Terrorists ?
Massimo : Look , that s what someone wants us to believe . Whether it s true or not , we ll find out soon enough .
Brooke : You , you did this . He s the one .
Nick : No , he s as worried as you are .
Brooke : You do nt -- you do nt know what he s done . All these years , trying to come between Ridge and me . He even bribed my own father to lie to me .
Nick : You think I d be a part of something like that ?
Brooke : No . Oh , god , Nick .
Nick : Do nt panic .
Brooke : What s happened to him ?
Nick : He s all right .
Massimo : You do nt know that for sure .
Nick : I do know that . If they wanted to kill him , they would have done it down here . Then they d lose their product .
Brooke : Product ?
Nick : Product . Ridge is what we want . They want cash . They ca nt let anything happen to him . Then they do nt get their cash .
Brooke : They ? Who ? Who s they ?
Nick : Look at this . Ever seen it before ?
Brooke : No . What is it ?
Massimo : Company logo , so to speak . They plastered it on the hull of a Marone tanker a couple of days ago , and that s the reason we came down here . This group specializes in kidnapping big business executives overseas .
Brooke : How did they know Ridge was here ?
Nick : You think they just got lucky ?
Massimo : No , no , no , too much of a coincidence .
Nick : You re probably right .
Brooke : We did nt tell anybody where we were going . I did nt even know until we got here .
Massimo : Yes , but the pilot knew , the people here at the hotel knew , the people on the island know because they have resources everywhere .
Brooke : Well , then , how do you know who to trust ?
Nick : You do nt . That s why you deal with me , Massimo and no one else .
Brooke : You really think he s all right ?
Nick : Yeah , I do .
Brooke : Okay , so now what ?
Nick : We wait .
Brooke : What ?
Massimo : They happen to be in charge here at the moment . That does nt sit well with any of us , but it s the reality .
Brooke : How do they contact us ?
Nick : The bigger question right now is when .
Brooke : Well , it s got to be pretty soon if they want the ransom so badly .
Nick : Let s hope .
Brooke : Why would nt it be soon ?
Nick : Because they re tricky . They play games . They try to gain power . They could make us sweat it out for months .
Brooke : Months ?
Nick : It s possible , but not likely .
Brooke : Oh , my god . I ca nt believe this is happening .
Nick : Come on , keep it together .
Brooke : No --
Nick : Keep it together .
Brooke : He s there one minute and he s gone the next . He said he would never leave . Oh , my god , I m gon na have to tell his children .
Massimo : Brooke , come on , take it easy , will you ? You re getting ahead of yourself here . The first thing we have to do is concentrate on getting ridge back .
Nick : Stay with me now . Look , hey , stay focused .
Brooke : What if I never see him again .
Nick : You will . I promise . I m gon na bring him back . I m gon na do that for you .
Ridge : Look , whatever it is you re after , holding me hostage is nt the answer . You do nt think anybody s really gon na cooperate with you , do you ? You re only gon na end up getting yourselves killed .
Ridge : Get your hands off me . Get off me ! What the hell are you doing ? No ! No !
Samantha : I wonder how that s going up there .
Rafael : Sam , relax . My colorist and assistant know what they re doing , all right ?
Samantha : I certainly hope so .
Assistant : We re all ready .
Colorist : The new Stephanie Forrester .
Stephanie : Ta - dum !
Rafael : Magnificent . No ?
Samantha : No .
Rafael : What ?
Samantha : Oh , I mean -- I mean yes . Oh , you just -- it just looks incredible . You think so , too , do nt you , Stephanie ?
Stephanie : I think I look hot . [ Laughter ] thank you , thank you .
Rafael : Oh , well , it s easy when you have a beautiful woman to work with .
Stephanie : Oh , well , is nt that a lovely compliment . I do nt know about it , but thank you . And you . Thank you .
Brooke : He put this ring on my finger just a few hours ago . We were supposed to start a whole new life together .
Nick : We re gon na find him , I promise you . We ll find him .
Massimo : I ll get it . Yes ?
Bellman : SeÑor Marone ?
Massimo : Yes , si , Marone .
Bellman : Message for you .
Nick : Nobody knows you re here .
Massimo : Who left this for me ?
Bellman : It was left at the front desk .
Massimo : I see .
Bellman : De nada .
Brooke : What ? What does it say ?
Nick : Come up with $ 10 million in gold if you want to see your son again . Delivery instructions will follow . Any delay and he ll die .
Brooke : Oh , my god . Oh , my god . Ridge --
Nick : He s okay , he s okay . You hear me ? He s okay .

### Dialogue:
Franco : The nice people at the costume emporium assured me that these hats are exact replicas of the actual hats that the pilgrims wore at the very first Thanksgiving .
Elizabeth : There s no bonnet for me ?
Franco : No , because at the costume emporium , they support gender fluidity .
Elizabeth : No , they do nt . Yes , they do .
Franco : Oh , my God . You look beautiful in everything . Okay . Here we go . Now we will honor the tradition of saying one thing that we are thankful for .
Cameron : Are nt we supposed to do that when we sit down to dinner ?
Elizabeth : Yeah , the turkey s taking a little longer than I thought , so -- so maybe , you know , thanks first , and then turkey later , maybe .
Franco : Okay , I ll go first . I am thankful for you guys . And for your mom and for all of you welcoming me into your beautiful family . I vow to protect this family and the beautiful life that we are sharing , no matter what .
Carly : Hey ! Come on in .
Robin : Hi .
Carly : Sonny told me you were in town .
Robin : Yeah , I brought the kids to my mom s for Thanksgiving . I just wanted to say hi to Sonny .
Carly : And Jason .
Robin : I saw him last night .
Carly : And ? I mean , there s no doubt in your mind ?
Robin : None whatsoever .
Carly : Which means we made a terrible mistake .
Sonny : I understand if you want to be alone and all that , but not Thanksgiving .
Michael : Yeah , my dad s right . Look , we ve missed you . If you think we re not gon na celebrate how thankful we are to have you back , today of all days .
Sonny : Too damn bad .
Jason : Okay , okay . I do nt feel pressure . I want to be here . Just , I m thankful to be home .
Alexis : Happy Thanksgiving .
Sam : Happy Thanksgiving .
Alexis : Hi . Hi , so honey , what s going on ?
Sam : Work emergency .
Alexis : Oh . On Thanksgiving ?
Sam : Yeah , I mean , it s a media company . You would have thought that work would let up on a holiday .
Alexis : Well , what s the emergency ?
Sam : Jason got a call from the manager of the station group , and they want to break into programming for some broadcast .
Drew : Hey , Alexis .
Alexis : Hey .
Drew : Happy Thanksgiving .
Alexis : Thank you , darling . Looks like it s gon na be a work holiday for you . What s the breaking news ?
Drew : Apparently , it has something to do with Liv Jerome .
Ava : [ Clears throat ] Dr. Zajac . I ve done some research , and understand you ve had wonderful results with cutting - edge methods . I think you might be just the man to help me . Please drop me a line . And we can discuss the meeting . My number . [ Exhales sharply ] Send .
Griffin : Hey .
Ava : Oh , hey , Griffin .
Griffin : What has you so intent ?
Sonny : So , it looks like Klein s boss may have cut his loss and disappeared .
Jason : I wish I could believe that .
Sonny : What are you thinking ?
Jason : I think they re waiting for the right time . If I let my guard down , or get too close to finding them , they re gon na move .
Sonny : Yeah . We got ta find them before they try again .
Sam : Scout almost died because of Liv Jerome . Why would we give her case exposure on one of our stations ?
Drew : Easy . Because it s news - worthy . If we do nt run the piece , it s gatekeeping .
Alexis : Well , maybe you could compromise and run the piece --
Sam : No , no , no , no , he is right . I should not impose my personal feelings . We ve got to do what s best for the station and for our company .
Drew : Yeah . I have to make a quick stop before dinner , but I could stay , we could talk about it .
Sam : No , no , no , no , it s okay . The kids and I will meet you at my mom s .
Drew : Okay . I love you .
Sam : I love you , too .
Drew : I ll see you there . I will see you there .
Alexis : Absolutely .
Drew : It s gon na be great .
Sam : Can you believe this ? Celebrating Thanksgiving with an update on that maniac .
Alexis : Well , the good news is , he s really leaning into his new role as a media mogul .
Sam : Yeah , Jason is determined to make Aurora a success , to make something lasting for our family . Something that nobody can take away from him .
Carly : This is basically all my fault . I mean , I m the one who convinced myself that Jake Doe was Jason . I got Spinelli to write up the program to show what his face looked like before the accident , and then I forced the DNA test .
Robin : But it came back as a match for Jason , so what else were you supposed to think ?
Carly : I know this is gon na sound like hindsight , like I knew the whole time , when obviously I did nt . But the second I looked at Jason , when I looked into his eyes , I knew .
Robin : When we were on the bridge , I was trying to be logical . Trying to be the doctor to point out that , you know , he could be the twin . And then Jason said something , he remembered something , and at that moment , I just knew it was him . Then I realized how much I had missed him .
Carly : And that s the great thing , right ? Knowing we have him back , knowing we do nt have to miss him anymore .
Sonny : Hey . Everything okay ?
Carly : Yeah .
Griffin : So , uh , have you not returned my phone calls because you ve been swamped or because you re avoiding me ?
Ava : Now , why would I be avoiding you ?
Griffin : Things got pretty uncomfortable at the Metro Court last night .
Ava : Yeah . Carly , she could not wait to blame me yet again for Morgan s death , and then what she said after . It s just Carly venom , do nt pay any attention to it . I do nt .
Griffin : Just in case , to be clear , Carly does nt know anything about me or what I want . I m not going anywhere .
Ava : Not even today ? You do nt have anything better to do on this fine Thanksgiving ?
Griffin : I could be asking you the same thing . Why are nt you home , celebrating Thanksgiving with Kiki ?
Ava : Well , Kiki s at work , so I decided to follow her example and come here and get some things done . What about you ?
Griffin : Well , I m on call , so I m free unless they need me . I have nt made plans with anyone else , so .
Ava : Oh , so no volunteering at any churches or anything ?
Griffin : I just came from there .
Ava : [ Laughs ] Yeah , yeah , of course you did . You know , once a do - gooder , always a do - gooder .
Griffin : Look , now that the good has been done , I thought it was worth a shot to come by and see if you were free .
Ava : Because my availability is pretty much the safest bet in town ?
Griffin : No , because I ca nt think of a better person to spend this day with .
Ava : What have -- oh , what have we here ?
Griffin : Thanksgiving turkey subs from Kelly s .
Ava : Yeah ? What makes them Thanksgiving subs ?
Griffin : Well , there s stuffing , and the gravy , and the cranberry sauce are already inside the sandwich . And -- and mulled apple cider . It s still warm .
Ava : Oh , this is so nice . You re so thoughtful . But Griffin , if I --
Griffin : Ah , ah , ah , no buts . I have no intention of letting you spend this holiday alone .
Ava : You worry too much about me . And I have plenty to keep me occupied . I m ... reconstructing my old life .
Griffin : Ava , I know what Carly said , it hurt . She was brutal .
Ava : Thanks for the reminder .
Griffin : If you hang onto one thing from your old life ? Refuse to be ruled by how others see you . The only thing that matters is what you see in yourself .
Ava : You know something , Griff ? I think that might be the truest thing I ve ever heard .
Elizabeth : I am thankful for my boys . All of you . I m thankful that you guys are healthy , and you re strong , and that you do your best to treat each other with kindness . I m just really thankful that we have each other , and that Franco has joined our family . Aiden ?
Aiden : I m thankful for Grandma Audrey because she helps me with my cursive .
Elizabeth : Oh , that s sweet . Cameron ?
Cameron : I m thankful I got to meet my Aunt Hayden . She s really fun .
Elizabeth : Yeah , she is . Hopefully we get to see her again one day .
Cameron : When ?
Elizabeth : Wish I knew . But when I do , you ll be the first I tell . Jake .
Jake : I m thankful that you and Dad are getting along better .
Elizabeth : Me , too .
Elizabeth : I wonder who that is .
Drew : Hey .
Elizabeth : Jason , hey , come in .
Franco : Oh , speak of the devil .
Jake : Dad !
Drew : [ Laughs ] Oh .
Robin : Happy Thanksgiving .
Sonny : Right back at you .
Robin : Thank you for your help last night .
Sonny : Hey , you know what ? I m glad I could help .
Carly : Okay , do you care to share with the rest of us ?
Robin : Oh , I contacted Sonny as soon as I came to Port Charles , and I thought Jason would be with him . And when he was nt , I knew to go to the bridge . I thought last night may have been a dream , so I came by to double - check .
Sonny : Do you mean to stay for Thanksgiving ?
Carly : Uhh , yeah . The more , the merrier .
Robin : Oh , thank you , I would love to .
Carly : Great .
Robin : But I ca nt . My mom is actually waiting for me . She s doing her best to put on a big Thanksgiving dinner with the help of my Uncle Mac and Felicia , of course . They re all taking turns babysitting Noah .
Sonny : You better bring that little boy over here . We want to see him .
Robin : I will , I promise .
Sonny : All right , we re gon na give you guys a second to talk .
Carly : All right .
Robin : How are you feeling ?
Jason : You know , I ca nt complain .
Robin : No . You wo nt complain . Let me guess . Uh ... You finally found your way back home , but you re still far away from Sam and Danny . Am I close ?
Jason : [ Sighs ] You know , five years , it s a long time . So , I ca nt really blame Sam for moving on .
Robin : Except she did nt , really . I mean , up until a couple weeks ago , she thought she was married to you .
Jason : Yeah , but he still believes that he s Jason Morgan , and I m sure he s afraid that he could lose everything , so he s fighting me with everything he has . And I do nt want to put Sam in the middle .
Robin : I m sure Sam envies Sonny and Carly right now .
Jason : Why ?
Robin : Because it s easier for them . As soon as they saw you , they recognized you . They got to throw their arms around you and have their Jason back . But Sam ? She and her husband have a baby . She ca nt recognize you without breaking his heart , and so she s staying with him . But that does nt change the way that she feels about you .
Jason : How do you know ?
Robin : Because if anyone understands what Sam s going through , it s me .
Sam : One apple , one sweet potato , and one pumpkin pie .
Alexis : Thank you , sweetie , thank you so --
Sam : Be careful .
Alexis : Okay . Thank you so much for picking these up because Molly is so invested in impressing TJ s aunt that my refrigerator is full .
Sam : Well , I was happy to do it .
Alexis : Good . Sweetie , before I head out , Patient 6 ?
Sam : What about him ?
Alexis : Any word from him ? Do you know anything ?
Sam : No , nothing since the confirmation that he and Jason are twins .
Alexis : So that s what you think ? You think that Jason is Jason , and this other guy is his twin ?
Sam : I love my husband more than anything , Mom . But if it turns out that this other guy is Jason , what am I supposed to do ? What does that mean for me ? What does it mean for us ? What does it mean for my family ? I mean , if I even imply that I believe anything that this other man says , I am betraying my husband . And I do nt want to do that . That s wrong . I would feel guilty .
Alexis : Well , you ca nt blame Jason s instinct for wanting to protect his family and fight for them .
Sam : That s just the thing , Mom . I do nt blame anyone , just , I mean , whoever put this whole thing in motion . You know what ? Jason wants me to focus on aurora , so that s what I m gon na do . As much as I do nt want to watch this piece on Liv , I think it s probably a good idea .
Alexis : I ll watch it with you .
Sam : Okay .
Nora ( on TV ) : Thank you all for coming . My name is Nora Buchanan , and I am the attorney on record for Olivia Liv Jerome . I m here to read a statement from my client about the events leading up to the arrest and conviction of her brother , Julian Jerome .
Ava : It s from Kiki . Oh , my God .
Griffin : What is it ?
Ava : She sent me a link to a live feed .
Griffin : The live feed of what ?
Nora : First and foremost , I wish to express remorse for my destructive actions over the past year . I experienced a break from reality after learning that the love of my life , Duke Lavery , had been killed . My healing process has been slow and difficult , but I am once again of sound mind . Now that I ve recovered , I could nt wait another day to clear my conscience . My brother , Julian , who has been tried and convicted as my accomplice , was not acting of his own free will . I gave him no choice but to do my bidding . Julian should not be held responsible for any of those crimes .
Robin : I did nt exactly experience what Sam was going through , but I watched Patrick struggle with it . What I did nt mention last night was that , while I was away , and everyone thought I was dead , Jerry Jacks and Helena were keeping me captive . Anyway , finally I was able to get away and find my way back to Port Charles , but Patrick --
Jason : Patrick , did he move on ?
Robin : He was literally about to marry another woman when I showed up . It was a heart - breaking situation for everyone , especially Patrick . I mean , he thought I was dead . He moved on with his life , and he fell in love with someone else . He could nt just pick up his life with me when this woman had agreed to marry him with the best of intentions . Patrick needed some time and some space to figure things out . Maybe Sam needs that , too .
Drew : I hope I m not intruding .
Cameron : Nope . Dinner s not ready yet . Can we go watch football ?
Elizabeth : Yes , go ahead . But if Aiden has questions , please do nt ignore him .
Jake : Dad ?
Drew : Yeah ?
Jake : Do you want to watch football with us ?
Drew : I wish I could , but I have to go to Sam s mom s house .
Franco : That sounds really nice . Do nt want to miss that .
Jake : Oh , Dad , did you find out why that other guy s pretending to be like you ?
Drew : No , son , I have nt .
Elizabeth : Why do nt you take those chips upstairs and hang out with your brothers ?
Jake : Sure , Mom . Happy Thanksgiving , Dad .
Drew : Happy Thanksgiving .
Franco : I m gon na go check on the turkey .
Elizabeth : Okay .
Drew : At least my son believes who I am . And you . But Sonny and Carly , they believe this other guy . They say I m still their friend . [ Chuckles ] I ve always been their friend .
Elizabeth : I ca nt imagine how difficult this must be for you .
Drew : It s just crazy to me how these people are just so willing to trust this man when they do nt know where he came from or what he wants .
Elizabeth : Okay , I m gon na tell you this as mother of one of your children , as your friend , as a nurse . You ca nt stress out about this . It s going to do more harm than good .
Drew : Yeah , it s easier said than done .
Elizabeth : I know , I know , but you re gon na have to try it because this situation is completely out of your control , which I know you hate . But answers are on their way .
Drew : I just wish I were as sure about that as you are .
Elizabeth : Jason , I have faith that you re gon na find the answers you re looking for .
Robin : Hi .
Elizabeth : Oh , my God . Robin , what are you doing here ?
Robin : I am staying with my mother . I was heading home for Thanksgiving dinner , and I thought I d stop in for a quick hello .
Elizabeth : Oh , I m so glad you did . Come in , come in .
Robin : Thank you .
Drew : Hi , Robin .
Robin : Hi .
Drew : Not much of a greeting .
Robin : I m so sorry .
Drew : Why are you apologizing ?
Robin : I thought you were Jason , but now I ve seen your brother --
Drew : And you think he s Jason ?
Michael : Hey . You looking at Morgan ?
Jason : Yeah . You know , I only knew him as a kid . What was he like ?
Michael : Oh . Reckless . Charming . And he was funny . He could make me so mad , and then he could make me laugh so hard , I could barely stand . There was a lot of ups and downs before and after we found out he had bipolar . He got into a lot of trouble .
Jason : And you were the one who tried to bail him out ?
Michael : Yeah , yeah , I was nt always nice about it . Sometimes I resented him . Like , why is it my job ? Why do I have to be the one to clean this up ? And why am I ... always having to take care of everybody ?
Jason : Because they need you . I m sorry . I am -- I wish I d been here .
Michael : Yeah , me , too .
Sonny : Eavesdropping ?
Carly : I -- I just want Michael to talk to Jason about his break - up .
Sonny : He will eventually . In the meantime , you ca nt be , like , looking in there .
Carly : I need to leave it alone , yeah .
Sonny : Did I tell you that Michael s gon na see the truth about Nelle ?
Carly : You did . You were right .
Sonny : I m sorry , I did nt hear that . Could you say it again ?
Carly : [ Laughs ] I m not saying it again .
Sonny : Does nt hurt to ask .
Carly : You know what , Sonny ?
Sonny : What else am I right about ?
Carly : Nothing , that was it .
Sonny : Oh .
Carly : A year ago , I never thought I would be thankful for anything ever again .
Sonny : Last year was tough .
Carly : It was . And now today , instead of being lost , in pain , I m so thankful for what I have and what I got back .
Sonny : I got ta check out the game .
Carly : What ? Way to ruin a moment . Really ?
Sonny : [ Sighs ] Okay . All right .
Nora ( on TV ) : I want to be clear . Julian was never my willing accomplice . I forced him to cooperate .
Sam : What -- what is this ? Is Liv actually trying to exonerate Julian ?
Nora : My client s statement continues . Duke Lavery was murdered by one of Julian s associates . I blamed my brother , and I wanted to make him suffer . I warned Julian that I had money and manpower , and if he did nt help me , his loved ones would pay the price . After that , Julian had no choice but to commit any crime I told him to .
Elizabeth : I m gon na go check on the boys .
Drew : How could you , of all people , not know the truth ? I was with you at Crichton - Clark .
Robin : I remember .
Drew : It was your treatment , your research that saved me . Then right before it blew up , I carried you out of there . We rescued each other .
Robin : You saved my life . But you are not Jason .
Drew : How can you say that to me ? I do nt understand .
Robin : I saw you at the clinic . I do nt know how you got there .
Drew : Faison shot me . I was pulled out of the water by Helena Cassadine s men , and she kept me on that island .
Robin : And while that was happening , and she was messing with your mind , she convinced you that you were Jason .
Drew : She convinced me ? That s not even possible . I -- I remember you . I remember our relationship together . I remember what we meant to each other . I do nt just remember it . I feel it . It s not just a memory . So you re gon na tell me that none of that is real ?
Michael : I do nt know how much Mom s told you so far .
Jason : Nothing , yet .
Michael : Okay , well , in a nutshell , her name is Nelle , and she is Josslyn s kidney donor .
Jason : Wait , Sonny said something about Jax paying a donor .
Michael : Yeah , no . She was nt a voluntary donor . Her father sold her kidney without her permission .
Jason : Wow , sounds like a great guy .
Michael : Yeah , right ? Her father s Frank Benson .
Jason : Carly s stepfather .
Michael : Yeah . So , what happened was Frank -- Frank told Nelle some lies about my mom . She came to town hell - bent on getting revenge . And she did some pretty bad things to my family . And then she found out that Frank was lying , and she was sorry .
Jason : And I bet your mom had none of that .
Michael : Well , you d win that bet .
Jason : You forgave her , obviously ?
Michael : I did . But she kept on lying , kept keeping secrets . I get -- I get that she s had a hard life , but she did not stop . She just could nt stop . So I told her that , you know , we should take a break . Give each other space . She kept pushing . You know , the funny thing is , though , if she had come to me and told me , You know what , Michael ? I m gon na give you some space . We might have been able to make it work .
Nora : Do nt get me wrong . Julian has done many things that he deserves to pay for , but I ca nt in good conscience let him pay for my crimes . This concludes my client s statement . The original has been notarized and forwarded on to the Port Charles district attorney s office , and I will not be taking any questions at this time .
Sam : Oh , my God . Okay , well , what do you think this means ?
Griffin : What is the point of that ? Why give Olivia Jerome a public platform ?
Ava : Oh , Griffin . I was nt even thinking about what Olivia did to you and what Julian did to your father . And my family . My family is a nightmare . You should not be standing here . You should be running for the hills .
Griffin : Hey , how many times do I have to tell you ? I m not going anywhere . Now , are you sure I ca nt tempt you into spending Thanksgiving with me ?
Griffin : And they need me in the ER .
Ava : There you have it .
Griffin : Rain check ?
Ava : Absolutely , rain check .
Griffin : Can I call you tomorrow ?
Ava : Yeah . Oh , although I told you , I ll be working on that -- that project for the next couple of days .
Griffin : Oh , right , big secret project . Look , I am -- I m really glad you re diving back in headfirst . Before you know it , you re gon na feel like your old self .
Ava : I m counting on it .
Carly : Unbelievable . Who would give Julian a get out of jail free card ?
Sonny : My guess is somebody s fighting real hard behind the scenes for Julian . Somebody who s smart and somebody that can work the system .
Carly : Do you think it was Alexis ?
Sonny : I do nt know . But I tell you what , it would nt surprise me .
Sam : Do you think Liv s statement is enough to exonerate Julian ?
Alexis : I think it might be enough to get him another trial . How would you feel about that ?
Sam : Mom , I do nt know . I really have no feelings about him after everything I m going through right now . I do nt even view the guy as my father because of all the horrible things he s done to you . And even if he is not an accessory in Liv s crimes , he has committed plenty of his own that he has nt paid for .
Alexis : There is that .
Sam : And why do you think she would come out with a statement out of nowhere ?
Alexis : It s Thanksgiving . And let s just spend the day as a family .
Sam : Okay . Okay , you re right . We have to spend the day as a family and not think about this . Tomorrow , we will talk about how blindsided we both are about this . Or at least I m blindsided .
Alexis : What do you mean ?
Sam : Why do I get the feeling that this news is nt coming as a complete shock to you ?
Drew : So you re trying to tell me that the life I remember with Sonny and Carly and my wife , that was nt real ? That was programmed into me ? How is that even possible ?
Robin : Here s what we know for sure . You and your brother are biological twins . Susan Moore was your mother . Alan Quartermaine was your father . So you re a Quartermaine , and you are Scout s father . And all the people that you care about still care about you . I mean , that s what matters .
Drew : Yeah , they still care . I need them to believe . And I m looking at somebody I care about very much . She does nt believe me .
Robin : I should go . Please tell Elizabeth I ll call her later .
Franco : Sounded kind of rough .
Drew : I would nt start with me .
Franco : Okay , I get it . You do nt like me . I do nt like you much , either , but here I am , and here you are . So , I ll try really hard to be a friend to you . And tell you something that you need to hear .
Drew : I think you need to get out of my way and let me leave .
Franco : Oh , come on , stop . Come on . Elizabeth and the boys are right upstairs . I m gon na take my chances . Here we go . I know what it s like for people to tell you who you are . People tell me all the time . They think because they know or they know something about your past that they get to tell you who you are . They get to tell you what in this world you get to want .
Drew : Do you have a point ?
Franco : I do . Screw anybody and everybody who tells you that you re not Jason Morgan . You know yourself . You know who you are . You know what matters to you . Do nt give that up , Jason . Not without a fight .
Ava : Dr. Zajac ? Yes , hi . Yep , this is she . Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly . I ve heard amazing things about your work , and I would like to see you as soon as possible for a consultation .
Sam : After everything Julian put you through , I thought you would have a bigger reaction to him possibly getting a new trial . Mom , what if he s acquitted ? What if he s released from prison ?
Alexis : Are you worried that I m gon na be relieved if he gets out of prison ?
Sam : Yes , I am .
Alexis : I will be .
Sam : Damn it ! Mom , seriously ? He held you at knifepoint with a dagger that Helena used to kill your mother , no less .
Alexis : I m a Cassadine . I grew up in a world where violence and vengeance and deception were the activity of the day . Now I can change my name . I can choose a career in law . I can even raise three really decent children . But it does nt change where I came from .
Sam : I do nt understand . Do you think that you deserve Julian ?
Alexis : I think that people are drawn to what they re familiar with , what they re accustomed to . And my world was toxic , and Julian s world was toxic . And we understand that more than anyone else ever can . So no amount of logic , no amount of rationale can change that because the ties that we have to each other are deeper than what logic can define .
Sam : I see . And now he s gon na get out of prison .
Alexis : And if he gets out of prison , it will be better for him than where he is now . I promise you that I will do my very best to move on to the next chapter in my life .
Sam : I hope you mean that .
Alexis : I do . I m gon na get these pies to Molly , okay , before her head explodes . Will you open the door for me ?
Sam : Of course , I will . Here .
Alexis : I ll see you later .
Franco : You know , once upon a time not so long ago , you were Jake Doe . You were penniless . You were hardworking . You were a decent guy . And then when you remembered that you were Jason Morgan , you did nt just fall back in line as Sonny s sidekick or Carly s go - to enabler . You reinvented yourself . You built a life that works for you .
Drew : Are you gon na get to that point ?
Franco : My point is that you are Jason Morgan and everything that identity comes with . You have this whole life . Do nt -- do nt let anybody take that away from you .
Drew : You know what , Franco ? Yours is the only opinion I do nt give a damn about .
Franco : Okay . That was good , good talk . It was nice to chat .
Elizabeth : It was a nice try .
Franco : I -- I do try . I have my moments .
Elizabeth : Yes , you do . But not with Jason . Why would you reach out to him ?
Franco : Because he s important to you and to Jake . You re very important to me .
Elizabeth : You are always surprising me . And I love you .
Franco : On a day of giving thanks , I m thankful for that cause you do . Despite all the circumstances , despite logic , you do . Just so you know , I love you , too .
Carly : Hey .
Michael : Hey .
Carly : Where s Jason ?
Michael : Is nt he in there with you ?
Sam : Danny , you can pick one toy out for Scout and one toy out for yourself , and then we re off to Grandma s ... if she has nt already gone to see Julian and wish him a happy Thanksgiving in prison .
Dr. Bensch : Happy Thanksgiving . Who s hungry ?
Nathan ( to Dante ) : Notice anything weird about Maxie lately ?
Lulu ( to Maxie ) : Are you pregnant or not ?
Drew ( to Monica ) : I just wanna make sure that we re still good .
Carly : Hi .
Jason ( to Sam ) : I need you to tell me what you want me to do .

### Dialogue:
Nick : So you sent me those designs . You sabotaged Forrester Creations . Hmm . Welcome to Jackie M.
Ridge : The whole collection ?
Brooke : That s what Katie said .
Steffy : Oh , my God .
Brooke : Their entire preview was made up of Forrester Designs .
Steffy : All of our hard work gone to the competition ? What are we gon na do about the show ? What -- what s gon na happen ?
Brooke : I think we need to find out exactly what happened .
Ridge : I want to know how the hell they got their hands on our designs .
Brooke : Eric , you went over there ? Katie was right . They have the whole collection , every damn piece . Where is everybody ? Come on ! We got a big mess to clean up .
Pam : I ll gather the troops .
Eric : Thank you .
Ridge : Has Marone been here recently ? We ll have security look at the videotapes .
Brooke : I do nt believe Nick would deliberately steal from us .
Steffy : What about Jackie ?
Brooke : That s possible .
Ridge : Clarke Garrison . He and Sally were always sneaking in here .
Donna : Pam just told me . Is it true ?
Eric : Yes . Yes , I m afraid it is .
Donna : How did they get the designs ?
Ridge : Exactly , especially since we took great pains to make sure that only a few of us had access .
Marcus : Well , who did ? I mean , how many people are we talking about here ?
Eric : Just us . Just -- just family , and we know none of us was involved in it .
Felicia : Do we ?
Steffy : What do you mean ?
Donna : No . ( Scoffs )
Marcus : But it ruined our fashion show . Who would purposely want to do that ?
Eric : Look , w - where s Thorne ?
Felicia : Do nt know . Aunt Pam s looking for him .
Thorne : Well , she found him . What s the story ? Is it as bad as Katie says it is ?
Eric : Oh , yes , it is . They got it all . They got every single piece .
Thorne : ( Sighs )
Steffy : You know , Dad , maybe you re right . We got ta check the security footage , see if anything looks suspicious .
Eric : Look , I want to know-- if Clarke Garrison was here , I want to know when it was exactly and how he was able to get out of here with all those drawings .
Ridge : The surf line .
Donna : What about it ?
Ridge : Jackie Marone was in the audience during that show .
Felicia : You re right .
Thorne : Well , did anyone see her leave her seat long enough to-- to search our offices ?
Eric : You know , all of the pieces were not done by then . I mean , she -- she could nt have taken them all at that point .
Stephanie : Pam said you just got back . Honey , do you have any idea what happened ?
Eric : No , I do nt , but I m gon na find out . Nick and Jackie Marone stole our collection . But they did nt do it alone . They had help . Somebody significant helped them with this . Somebody betrayed us , a traitor .
Rick : Thank you , Nick . It s good to be here . I was nt really sure if you were gon na hold up your end of the bargain .
Nick : Making somebody president of my company sight unseen is nt something I would do , but my mother-- she liked those pictures you sent . She thought it was worth it .
Rick : Well , if the accolades you received from your preview show have any bearing , it looks like your company s gon na do very well . You re gon na turn a profit .
Nick : Did you say my company ? Whose company would it be ?
Rick : Well , I guess that s up to you , and whether or not you make me president .
Nick : You got ta answer something for me , Rick . Why d you do this ? Why would you sabotage your family s company for the competition ?
Rick : In a word ? Ridge . I have lived my life in this man s shadow , Nick . I ve had to answer to him in my personal life , in my career . I ca nt take it anymore . This man s ego -- it just-- it suffocates everything . And just because my last name is Forrester , does nt mean I have to spend my life in the family business . And when I opened my eyes to the possibility of living and working without Ridge , well , then I knew exactly what I had to do . I saw a - a floundering company that needed a - a hit fashion line . I could be president of that company , and I would--
Nick : Your father made you president of Forrester Creations .
Rick : Who d he make C.E.O. ? It s the story of my life . My father throws me a bone . He throws Ridge two . I m done with that . I m moving on with my life . I m starting a new one , and I want to start it here at Jackie M. but you have to honor your side of the agreement , Nick . Damn it , I stuck my neck out for this . I saved your company . I gave you those designs in exchange for a job . Do nt tell me I betrayed my family for nothing .
Stephanie : Too many people had access to those designs .
Brooke : Too many Logans , you mean .
Stephanie : Mm - hmm .
Felicia : Never before has so many of you been in the building at one time . And suddenly , there s a security breech ?
Eric : Stop it , Felicia .
Ridge : This does nt make sense . Everything was secure . All those designs were kept confidential . They were only given to a few select people .
Felicia : That s right . And we had our most trustworthy sewers on the job . They ve been in the business a very long time . Never would they fall for Clarke garrison in a phony mustache . No , I think Ridge is right . This does nt make sense . It does nt add up .
Marcus : Well , could someone have hacked into the computers ?
Thorne : My system is encrypted . It s ironclad .
Steffy : Okay , who exactly had computer access ? We need to get a list going .
Eric : Well , we know who had access . It was just family , but I ca nt believe that anybody with the name Forrester or Logan would do this thing .
Felicia : Just family , Daddy ? That s funny . Look who s here , Nick s fiancé .
Katie : ( Scoffs ) Excuse me ?
Felicia : Logan , soon - to - be - Marone ?
Katie : I had nothing to do with Jackie M. stealing our designs if that s what you re implying .
Brooke : Katie is the one who called us about this .
Thorne : That does nt make her innocent , Brooke .
Eric : All right , let s not start accusing one another here . What we need to do is begin to gather some evidence . Look , Marcus , will you look at--
Katie : Eric , there s something you should know . Jackie and Nick did not initiate this . They were sent the designs .
Eric : From inside my company ?
Stephanie : Do they know who ?
Katie : No . They were anonymous e - mails .
Brooke : That s it . I m going over there .
Ridge : Brooke , wait , wait , wait . Why would you do that ?
Brooke : I m going to convince him to pull the line and get him to issue a statement to the press admitting that these designs are Forrester Creations . I m sure Nick had nothing to do with this , and I m sure he ll help us figure out who s responsible .
Stephanie : Oh , right .
Felicia : Right . Sure , Brooke .
Thorne : That s rich .
Brooke : Why would anybody do this to us ?
Taylor : Hello ?
Steffy : Hi , Mom .
Taylor : Sweetheart , are you there ? Is something wrong ?
Steffy : ( Sighs ) I do nt even know why I called you . I just , um ... ( sniffles ) I just wanted you to know that , uh ...
Taylor : You want me to know what , Steffy ?
Steffy : Something terrible happened . I just -- I feel really bad .
Taylor : Honey , are you okay ? Are you sick ? Wh-- ( sighs )
Steffy : No , no , no , no . It s -- it s nothing-- nothing like that , no .
Taylor : Well , you -- you know , I ca nt really help you if you do nt tell me what s going on .
Steffy : Um , you know the Forrester line , the one that Dad and Granddad s been working on for months and months ?
Taylor : Uh - huh . What about it ?
Steffy : It s been stolen .
Taylor : What ?
Steffy : Yeah , it s horrible . Just all that hard work-- by Jackie M. She just previewed Dad s whole line .
Taylor : Are you sure about that ?
Steffy : Katie was there . She just called . Granddad went over there . It s for real , Mom .
Taylor : Honey , how is your dad holding up ?
Steffy : ( Sighs ) He s a mess . I do nt even know what we re gon na do . And to make things worse , someone from the inside leaked the designs . Someone we know backstabbed us .
Taylor : Do they know who did it ?
Steffy : No . No , no one can even imagine who would do something this terrible . God , all that hard work , all of it . And Granddad -- poor Granddad . He s just so ... ( sighs ) he was just so proud of it , you know ? He was so proud of it coming back from his coma .
Taylor : Oh , my goodness . How is Eric holding up ?
Steffy : He s furious . He s completely focused finding out who did this . But he seems okay , physically , I mean .
Taylor : Well , is there-- is there something you want me to do ? Should I-- should I come up there ?
Steffy : No , no , no . You dont-- you do nt have to do anything right now . I just ... ( sighs ) I just needed to get out of the office . I just needed a breather , you know ? ( Sniffles ) I did nt want people to see how upset I was , but , uh , you know , what s the point of that , me freaking out ? I just feel like I want to scream .
Taylor : I m sure your dad wants to do the same thing . This is just awful . First , he loses phoebe , and now ... ( sighs ) I know this is just too much for him .
Steffy : Yeah , he s gon na need a lot of support .
Taylor : And he knows he can call me if he needs to . He knows I ll be there for him .
Steffy : Yeah . Yeah , I know . I know .
Taylor : And -- and , of course , he has Brooke .
Steffy : But he s gon na need you , too , Mom . Anyways , I - I better get back inside . ( Sighs )
Taylor : Okay . Listen , will you tell your dad , um , will you just-- just tell him that I m sorry . I m sorry this happened . I - I do nt know what else to say .
Steffy : I just ca nt believe this is happening . Who would do something this cruel ?
Rick : There is nothing left for me at Forrester Creations . Stephanie wants me in jail . Ridge wants me dead . Hell , my -- my father wants me to -- to accept a presidential title that does nt mean anything . It s eating me alive , all right ? I - I just want peace in my life , a - a place where we can live away from all the insanity .
Nick : Who s we ?
Rick : I cant-- I ca nt get into that right now , okay ? The point is , I do nt have a future at Forrester Creations . I want you to know that I m not proud of what I m doing , all right ? I -- in fact , I m disgusted with myself . But I refuse to live my life serving out a sentence and being persecuted .
Nick : I can see you re very passionate about this . Jackie M. s alive because of you today . I love my family-- my mother , Katie , my son . So my answer is yes . I will hold up my agreement .
Rick : Thank you . I m gon na do right by you and this company , I promise .
Nick : Let s keep this quiet . Let s let the dust settle before you start .
Rick : Absolutely . I could nt agree more .
Nick : You know , you re a good man . You re good at what you do . So welcome aboard , Mr. President .
Rick : Thank you , Nick . Thank you .
Eric : Did somebody leave their computer on all night or accidentally give out the code ?
Stephanie : No .
Felicia : No .
Eric : Well , something happened . Somebody got ahold of these designs , and they sent them to Nick .
Ridge : We need a full - scale investigation right now . ( Cell phone beeps )
Stephanie : Let s start with the recent hires , the people that were put on the surf line .
Donna : No , I interviewed them all . The surf line staff--
Pam : Nobody is above suspicion , Donna .
Steffy : Rick ?
Rick : Hey , Steffy .
Steffy : Hey . Hey , where are you ? Have you heard what s going on ?
Rick : I m on my way up to my office right now . And , um , I want you to meet me there . Can you do that ?
Steffy : Yeah , but--
Rick : Listen , come alone , and do nt tell anyone . It s really important . I ll see you soon .
Katie : I hate to bring this up , but we have a show to do , and all of our designs just walked down the Jackie M. runway .
Marcus : Well , ca nt we still do a show ?
Donna : If Brooke can convince the Marones to admit what happened , then we--
Stephanie : ( Laughs ) I would nt hold your breath on that one .
Eric : ( Sighs ) I agree with that . I spoke to Jackie . She s not admitting anything .
Pam : Then what are we gon na do ?
Felicia : Only one thing we can do .
Thorne : We have to delay our show .
Ridge : Let s work on a statement for the press then .
Katie : Okay , I ll draft it . It should come from you and Eric .
Ridge : And Rick . He is president . Where is Rick ?
Steffy : ( Crying ) Rick ...
Rick : I love you . I love you . I love you . I love you .
Steffy : Rick , don--
Rick : Mm . What ?
Steffy : Rick , stop ! Stop ! Have you heard what happened ? Jackie M. Had a preview today . She used all of our collections , everything . She stole all of our designs .
Rick : I know .
Steffy : You do ? Rick , we ve been sabotaged .
Rick : I know .
Steffy : Wait . Wh -- why did you want to see me in private ? Do -- do you know who did this ?
Rick : Yes , I do . I know who stole our designs .
Steffy : Who ?
Nick : Well , that did nt take you long .
Brooke : Is that all you have to say to me ?
Nick : You look gorgeous .
Brooke : How about , I m sorry ? I did nt mean to do it . It was all a mistake . I need you to issue a statement to the press explaining somehow how this mishap happened-- that accidentally , Jackie M. Got ahold of Forrester Creations designs .
Nick : I m afraid I m sorry is all I have for you , so one out of three ai nt bad .
Brooke : Nick , you re not a thief . You ca nt do this .
Nick : This type of thing happens in the fashion world . You know that .
Brooke : Corporate espionage .
Nick : It happens .
Brooke : Not with somebody with a conscience .
Nick : My mother s company was gon na be taken from her . My family s livelihood was at stake , and someone threw me a lifeline . Now you tell me you would nt do the same thing .
Brooke : Fine . Then tell me who did this . At least give me that . Who betrayed Forrester Creations ?
Brooke : Who gave you those designs ? Lubbock lightning bolts , I dare you to be colorful !
Felicia : All those beautiful designs .
Ridge : Totally hijacked .
Stephanie : We ll never get the credit we deserve . That s what I m so angry about .
Thorne : I wish we knew who the hell did this .
Katie : Eric , I ve got that draft ready for a statement .
Eric : Oh , thanks , Katie , but look , I want to hold off on this . I do nt want to go to the press yet . I want us to focus on one thing . I want to get some answers , and I want to find out who the bastard was that did this .
Brooke : Who was it , Nick ? Tell me . It was somebody at Forrester Creations , was nt it ? Oh , my God , you ve got ta tell me who it is !
Nick : I think you should go .
Brooke : Do nt . Do nt do this . Not after everything we ve been through . Nick ?
Nick : Someday . Now s not the time . Just let this be , Brooke , for your own good . Let this be .
Steffy : Everyone s in your dad s office . If you know who did this , we ve got to tell them .
Rick : No , Steffy . No . No .
Steffy : What do you-- what do you mean , no ? This person ruined our fashion show . A whole season s profit gone in a blink of an eye . Of course you have to .
Rick : Even if this person had the most honorable of intentions ?
Steffy : What possible justification can there be ?
Rick : If I tell you , will you promise to keep it between us ?
Steffy : No . Everyone s fighting ...
Rick : ( Laughs )
Steffy : Pointing fingers . It s Forresters versus Logans .
Rick : I - I can just see Stephanie right now , like , with a pitchfork over her head screaming , we got ta get the Logans out of this company . Jettison all the Logans .
Steffy : Hey , it s everyone , not just my grandmother . Someone sabotaged us . Someone we know went out to destroy our company . It s horrible .
Rick : No , Steffy , you know , what s horrible is what we have been doing-- sneaking around like criminals . I m so sick of that . I do nt want to do that anymore . Let the families argue over who sabotaged Forrester Creations . Why do you want to be a part of that ? I just want to be with you . I m crazy about you .
Steffy : I m crazy about you , too .
Rick : Listen , you know we do nt have a future here . Nobody here is -- is-- wants us together . People are gon na judge us constantly . Your father is gon na be breathing down our necks . And God forbid , he ever finds out what we ve been doing . He ll be so angry , he ll make my life a living hell . Yours , too . That s why ... ( Sighs ) that s why I did what I did .
Steffy : What ? What -- what do you mean ?
Rick : I arranged for us to love each other out in the open , above board , put us in a situation where we do nt have to constantly look over our shoulders and worry about people trying to keep us apart and--
Steffy : How ? Wh -- where ? God , just tell me .
Rick : Jackie M. Designs .
Steffy : Wh -- what ? What ?
Rick : Steffy--
Steffy : No . No .
Rick : Look , I talked to Nick , all right ? And -- and he offered me the presidency and a contract and a lot of money and-- and a piece of the action , so my first order of business is to hire you so you can join me .
Steffy : Nick gave you that in exchange for what ?
Rick : ( Sighs )
Steffy : No . No , no , no . Dont-- d - d - dont tell me you--
Rick : Steffy--
Steffy : Do nt tell me they got those designs from you . Do nt .
Rick : I did nt have a choice , okay ? I did nt want to do this . Steffy , listen , it s the only thing I could think of . I did it to pave a way to our future . I did this for us .

Colby : Does he look ok ? Do you see the wires , the tubes ? He ca nt move . He has broken bones . He s unconscious . You did this . You should be in there , not J.R.
Jamie : You still think it s a good idea to stick around ?
Babe : I did nt want this . I love him .
Jamie : Well , you have a funny way of showing it .
Babe : Colby I can take , but , Jamie , not you . Please , stop .
Jamie : No , Babe . You re the one who needs to stop . You leave my brother the hell alone .
Adam : James ? That s enough .
Annie : Have a good time , honey . Ok ? Have fun .
Erin : Bye .
Annie : Bye .
Emma : Bye .
Annie : Bye .
Ryan : Hey , um -- I heard about J.R. on the news . How is he ?
Tad : Well , he s -- he s finally out of surgery . Apparently , the next 24 hours are critical , but at least he s stable for now .
Ryan : I m glad for that .
Annie : Me , too .
Dixie : Thank you . How long ?
Ryan : The lab results should be here any minute .
Tad : Um -- listen . While we wait , there s -- there s something I want to discuss . Ahem .
Ryan : We do nt have anything to discuss now , Tad .
Tad : I disagree , I disagree . Um -- listen , Annie ? Dixie made you a promise not to take Emma away from you even if she is our daughter .
Annie : She s my daughter .
Tad : I know . I can see that . But if she is our child , I think we should have some kind of access to her .
Annie : What ?
Ryan : Wait , wait . Hold on , hold on -- whoa , whoa , whoa . Tad , back up .
Tad : I want to discuss some kind of visitation .
Annie : You lied to me . You told me you would nt take my daughter .
Dixie : I wo nt , I wo nt . I ll stick to my promise , but Tad --
Annie : No , you just said that to get me to take the test . Why did I trust you ? You want to take my daughter from me ?
Dixie : No , please listen .
Tad : Ladies , just a second . Wait , hang on just a second , all right ? That was Dixie s decision , not mine . But I ll honor it -- I m not trying to take Emma away from you . I just think it s fair that if she is my child , I should be able to play some kind of role in my daughter s life .
Annie : No , you want custody is what you want --
Tad : No , no , no .
Annie : And you wo nt get it .
Ryan : Whoa , whoa , hold on , hold on . We re getting ahead of ourselves here . You re making an assumption . You re assuming that Emma is your child , Tad .
Annie : God , I ca nt believe this .
Ryan : You just do nt jump the gun , man .
Tad : I m not -- look , there s a perfectly good reason for us to have some hope here .
Annie : Oh , God . Ok , somebody get here with these test results already so these people will get it -- Emma is not your daughter .
Tad : Annie , just a second , all right ? I understand this is difficult . I know . It s difficult for us , too , but the fact is that Greg Madden was your doctor , and he was nt upfront with a lot of women about the children he gave them .
Ryan : Do nt go there , Tad .
Tad : Wait , just a -- ok , just a second . Your own DNA test proved that you and Emma are nt even related . How can you possibly explain that ?
Annie : I gave birth to Emma . I know it , and now I can explain everything .
Ryan : Even if there is nt a DNA match , Annie could still be Emma s biological mother .
Tad : That s not possible .
Annie : Yes , it is .
Ryan : There s a medical condition called chimera . It s when two fertilized eggs are created like twins and for one reason or another , one embryo absorbs the other one . And one child is born but that person can have more than one set of DNA .
Annie : If I have two sets of DNA , one of them would nt match Emma s . That explains why we were nt a match .
Tad : Um -- is there any proof that you even have this condition ?
Ryan : No . But once the DNA results get here , Annie s not going to have to prove anything .
Colby : Daddy , have you seen J.R. ? He looks horrible .
Adam : He ll need some time to recover .
Colby : He is nt going to be a vegetable , is he ?
Adam : No , no . He is going to regain consciousness . He ll be fine .
Colby : Are you sure ?
Adam : Colby , Krystal is -- is exhausted . I want you to take her home .
Colby : Daddy , I ca nt . I just got here . I --
Adam : Colby , please . This once , will you do what I ask ?
Colby : Fine . I wo nt let you hurt my brother ever again .
Adam : Jamie , I d like to have a moment alone with Babe .
Jamie : Adam , she needs to leave before J.R. wakes up .
Adam : I wo nt allow you to bully my daughter - in - law .
Jamie : Why are you not on my side on this ?
Adam : I m on J.R. s side , and so is Babe .
Jamie : Are you kidding me ?
Adam : Leave , Jamie .
Jamie : Ok .
Babe : So what was that all about ? Since when do you defend me ?
Adam : Since -- right now .
Babe : You hate me . You blame me .
Adam : I also believe you re J.R. s only hope .
Babe : You were threatening to get me out of J.R. s life forever and Little A s , and now I m J.R. s only hope ?
Adam : Well , J.R. was in -- in emergency surgery , and I lashed out at the nearest target I could find , and that was you . I do nt know how you and J.R. could hurt each other so badly if there was nt love involved . Part of me is still angry with you . Part of me wants to just -- just throw you out and never see you again . And I ca nt , because of Krystal .
Babe : Mama turned you around ?
Adam : Yeah . I love your mother . I do love her , and she loves you . I want to grow old with Krystal . I do nt want to -- I do nt want to lose her . I would do anything for that woman and our little baby .
Babe : She loves you , too .
Adam : She wanted me to see your side of this , to believe that you really love J.R. as much as you say you do , that -- that what you did was just a horrible mistake and that you regret it .
Babe : I do . I never stopped loving J.R. I -- I want to be with him and only him .
Adam : Seeing him in that room , helpless , broken ? He almost died because he loves you . Now , I -- the only thing he wanted was to be with you . I believe you are sorry . I believe we both want him back . Ok ?
Babe : I do . I do , more than anything and I will spend my life making it up to him , I promise .
Adam : I hope you mean that .
Babe : I do .
Adam : Yeah . Well , there is something you can do . You wo nt like it , but it is necessary if you want J.R. to heal .
Krystal : Oh . I am wrecked , and I m starving . I think I m going to ask Winnie to bring out some breakfast . You want to join me ?
Colby : No . I have to do homework .
Krystal : Oh , come on , Colby . Please stay , huh ? Have a little something , even if it s just a muffin .
Colby : I ll just have some orange juice .
Krystal : You -- you did nt say a word on the ride home .
Colby : What s there to say ?
Krystal : J.R. had a horrible accident . We almost lost him .
Colby : No . Daddy , Little A , and I almost lost him . You and Babe can care less .
Krystal : Oh , that s not true .
Colby : You just care about my dad s money . My dad is nothing but big dollar signs and a future alimony .
Krystal : Does it help ? Attacking Babe and me ? Does it make it easier for you to handle your hurt and your pain ?
Colby : Yeah , it makes me feel much better , thank you .
Krystal : You saw your brother in the hospital -- he almost died , Colby . You must feel horrible .
Colby : I -- I did nt break any bones .
Krystal : But a close family member did . And you want him home .
Colby : That s not all of it . Say it , Krystal -- why should I feel so horrible ? J.R. s in the hospital . He almost died because of me .
Josh : It would ve been so easy to let him die . I thought about it . Part of me said I should have .
Amanda : Well , why the Good - Samaritan act ?
Josh : Babe . She d never forgive me , and I want her to see that I m the better man .
Amanda : That s almost --
Josh : What , noble ? No , forget about it . I m not noble . I still want J.R. gone so that Babe will be safe , so that we can be together . But J.R. has more lives at the bottom of a bottle than anyone deserves and yet , he still has Babe .
Amanda : You giving up ?
Josh : Well , it s pretty hard to compete with a guy who s in intensive care . I can see it right now -- Babe falling deeper and deeper as she nurses him back to health , but what she does nt realize is that J.R. will never be healthy . Booze is nt his only disease . His soul is permanently damaged , and he s going to hurt her again -- I know it -- and there s nothing I can do about it , so you know what ? Why do nt you just take the stick and hit me again ? It s the most fun I ve had in a long time .
Jamie : Leave Josh to me .
Babe : So what can I do for J.R. ? Anything that he needs , I am there .
Adam : Well , fine . Well , well , of course , he ll need extensive professional help , nurses , physical therapists --
Babe : Ok .
Adam : Not to mention emotional therapists .
Babe : And I ll be there every step of the way .
Adam : Yeah , well , you see , that s -- that s the problem . J.R. needs time -- time for him to process or space for him to -- to focus . He ll need to put all of his resources into his recovery , and he wo nt have enough energy to work on his marriage . So that s what you can give him , Babe -- distance . You ca nt be near him when he s going through this part of his recovery . Are you willing to do that ? Would you be willing to leave Pine Valley ?
Tad : An absorbed embryo ? Look , I m sorry , but it really sounds like you re reaching here
Ryan : Maybe we re crazy to think that Annie s a chimera , maybe not . Point is if the DNA results show no connection between you and Emma , this is over .
Dixie : For you . It ll start all over for us .
Tad : Ok , look . When those results get here , there ll be no further question in your mind ?
Ryan : Well , you ll have to accept the fact that Emma s not your daughter , Tad , and Annie s not going have to prove anything anymore . I mean , you re going to have to walk away from Emma and never look back .
Dixie : If the results are negative , we will stop . We wo nt bother you again .
Tad : You or your daughter .
Annie : How can I believe you ?
Ryan : I do .
Tad : I m sorry .
Josh : Come on , Martin . Why do nt you bring it ?
Jamie : Oh , Josh , you re not making this much fun for me .
Josh : Well , let me make it easy for you . J.R. was a saint . I m just the bastard trying to steal his wife . I m evil . He was just protecting one of his own . How does that sound so far ?
Jamie : My brother was in a good place . A great place . He and Babe were making it work .
Josh : Oh , work ? What , like , attempted - murder work ? It was working so good for Babe , she decided to sleep with me .
Jamie : You should have left them alone .
Josh : Yeah ? How d you do it ? You actually got the ultimate ending . You got Babe away from J.R.
Jamie : It was a long time ago .
Josh : You were supposed to get married , were nt you ? And then J.R. got real ugly . Got custody of the baby , went after you -- do you ever think about going back and tossing him out of a window ?
Krystal : You re not responsible for J.R. s accident , Colby . What makes you think that ?
Colby : I m the one who told him about Josh and Babe . He was supposed to get mad , yell , call a lawyer . He was nt supposed to go out the window .
Krystal : People do nt always do what we expect them to do , or want them to do .
Colby : I -- I just wanted him to dump Babe .
Krystal : Because she is just after his money ?
Colby : She does not love J.R. How can you love someone and sleep with somebody else ?
Krystal : Well , that s a question that people have been asking for a long time , honey , and yet , people still do it .
Colby : My brother deserves to be happy .
Krystal : Yeah , well , we all do , Colby . But this is Babe and J.R. s marriage . It s their business .
Colby : Babe needs to stay out of his life . She is bad for him , and this family .
Krystal : What makes you the expert on what is good for this family ?
Colby : When J.R. is with Babe , he does nt care about anyone or anything else . It is all about Babe , 24/7 .
Krystal : And not about you .
Colby : It does nt always have to be about me , Krystal . I m not a baby . I do nt need everyone hanging all over me .
Krystal : You know , there s something that you think that you re not getting . And instead of just saying what it is that you need , you just -- you stir up trouble . You do nt care about the consequences . Well , heck , I guess maybe I would nt , either , if I had a father like yours around .
Colby : Oh , yeah . My life is just one big prom .
Krystal : Colby , if you want to make things better , then -- then stirring up trouble for your family is not the way to go about it . Why did nt you just say to J.R. , J.R. , I need a little bit more attention from you ?
Colby : I do nt just want his attention . I want my brother to love me again . And I want my daddy to love me again . That s -- that s all I want . That s all .
Adam : You name the place . I ll have my jet take you anywhere in the world .
Babe : I m not leaving J.R.
Adam : Let s -- let s try to see this from a little different angle . You loved J.R. -- more than anyone . You believed -- he believed you . He trusted you . He bet his entire future on you . And then , when he realized that you had cheated on him , his entire world just fell out from under him . Sent him right back into the alcohol . He became ugly , he became angry . He hurt himself , Babe . He almost died . He almost lost his life . I almost lost my son .
Babe : I almost lost my husband .
Adam : You re seeing J.R. at his lowest . The nadir of his existence . If he has to deal with you , with that , every day , as a reminder of how he came to this awful place , how he went over the edge , you will get in the way of his recovery .
Babe : But if I just keep loving him and showing him how sorry I --
Adam : No , no , he is not able to accept that from you now . Do nt you understand ? This -- this going away -- it s -- it s not permanent . He just needs to be given a break . To -- well , to find his footing again . He needs to -- to be able to deal with the betrayal . And work on his sobriety . And then when J.R. has -- has made some progress -- has put a few things together , and is starting to heal , then you re right back . You re right back . You two will be a couple again .
Babe : It does -- it does sort of make sense .
Adam : Yeah .
Babe : But what about Little A ? How is J.R. going to deal being away from his son ?
Adam : Oh , well , J.R. -- well , he ll have to have Little A with him . He needs the boy now more than ever . So when you leave , you ll have to leave the boy behind .
Dixie : She s not Kate . She s not her .
Tad : We re going to find her , Dixie .
Ryan : I m so sorry .
Annie : I -- uh -- I hope you do find your little girl .
Tad : Thank you very much for at least giving us the truth .
Ryan : I m sorry , Tad .
Tad : Why do nt you let me take you back to the hotel , ok ? We can talk about what we re going to do .
Dixie : Thanks , but I think I need to be alone . I ve got to pull myself together . My son s in the hospital , and he needs me .
Jamie : Babe and I did not belong together . I realized that .
Josh : What , when she faked it with me ?
Jamie : It had nothing to do with you . J.R. has issues , but Babe loves him .
Josh : This has nothing to do with J.R. and Babe . You knew she did nt mess around with me . You knew she made that whole thing up just to give you an out , and you took it . You dumped her just because she did something outside the rules . How could you just walk away from her like that ?
Babe : You honestly -- you want me to leave without my son ?
Amanda : You are nt really buying that load of crap , are you ?
Adam : Excuse me , this is a private discussion .
Babe : No , this discussion is over , closed , finished .
Adam : Babe , we have to focus on what s right for J.R.
Babe : No , you re working me over . You re trying to make me all good - and- guilty .
Amanda : You are so busted .
Babe : So , what , I hit the road for a little while , and then what s the plan then ? How do you turn me gone for a little while into me gone forever ? It s not happening , Adam .
Adam : J.R. wo nt want you here .
Babe : Then let him tell me that . I am not leaving my son , my husband , or this town .
Adam : You are a wack job just like your mother . Plowing other people s lives -- you re a disaster .
Amanda : The wack job here is your son , and you are the one - man bulldozer trying to cover up things for him .
Adam : Maybe Babe Carey is not right for J.R. Hmm , she ll ruin him .
Amanda : Has nt he done that for himself already ? I wish Babe did nt have such a big heart . I wish that she could yank the plug on that maniac .
Babe : J.R. ? I m here . It s me , Babe .
Annie : So it s really over ?
Ryan : Huh . It s really , really over . That test is genuine , and Hayward s was a fake .
Annie : And no one is taking Emma from me ?
Ryan : No , not a chance . Nobody . It s really over . It s over , over .
Annie : Thank you ! Thank you , thank you . A million times thank you .
Tad : Page David Hayward .
Nurse : Well , I m sorry , I m not sure where --
Tad : Page him now .
Nurse : Is this an emergency ?
Tad : It will be , because I m going to try to kill him .
Dixie s voice : To Kate , on her first birthday . To Kate , from Santa . To Kate , happy second birthday . To Kate , love , Mommy .
David : Dixie ?
Colby : She said that we were starting a new life . Just the two of us . But I really liked my old life , and I did nt want to leave . I -- I tried going back to sleep that night , lying in the back of the car . I kept hoping and hoping that I d fall asleep and wake up in my old bed , like The Wizard of Oz . So instead of counting sheep , I counted tulips in the east garden . I imagined Daddy and J.R. staring down at me . I missed Daddy so much . And I missed J.R. I missed them so much I thought I was going to die . They never came . So they must ve stopped loving me .
Krystal : Oh , no . No , they love you . They love you . Sweetheart , they love you so much .
Babe : J.R. , honey , look at me . That s right , come on .
Josh : You are in no place to tell me how to handle Babe , and I do nt owe you an explanation .
Jamie : Babe loved J.R. , and you moved in on her . She was confused , and you took advantage . Josh hmm . So that makes me the bad guy ? Yeah , look out ! Josh Madden s after your wives ! God forbid I try to make Babe happy . Forget that J.R. tried to kill Babe , almost killed Kendall and her baby , went after me , threatened Bianca . But no . Forget about that , J.R. is a saint . No worries .
Jamie : You should be worried .
Josh : I am worried -- about Babe . You know , you may be able to leave her with a maniac , but I m not .
Jamie : Would you get off your high horse ? Babe loves J.R. That s the fact that you keep forgetting . She s never going to love anyone as much as she loves him .
Babe : Do nt worry , J.R. It ll take some time to get better , but you will . And I will be here the whole time .
Babe : Oh , my God , baby , what is it ? Honey , J.-- Help me , please ! Something s wrong ! J.R. , stay with . You re ok , I m right here . I m not going to leave you , ok ? I do nt know -- that just went off !
Nurse : You have to leave now .
Doctor : Excuse me .
Babe : What is it ? What happened ?
Nurse : Not now .
Babe : But I just was sitting --
Adam : What s happening ?
Nurse : I ll start another --
Adam : What have you done to my son ?
Bianca ( to Josh ) : Are you all right ?
Josh : I m through with Babe , now and forever .
David ( to Dixie ) : J.R. has taken a turn for the worse . See if you have time to get to the hospital .
Julia ( to Babe ) : J.R. has nt been responding to the treatment .
Adam : Please , God , please .

Eric : Oh my .
Stephanie : You re right , I m glad we got it tuned .
Eric : No I m talking about the eggnog .
Stephanie : What s wrong with the eggnog ?
Eric : Not enough nutmeg .
Stephanie : No what you mean not enough Rum .
Eric : She can never take a hint , you know year after year I ask her ..
Stephanie : And I do nt want any complaints about the dressing this year because it is your mother s recipe .

Stephanie : We re going to have a great time , a packed house , with both the boy s families and Bridget .
Eric : Yes , that s the best Christmas surprise of all . Bridget is going to be here .
Stephanie : Look what I found , I thought they d been broke years ago .
Eric : Thorne , he has the same sweet smile now as he did then .
Stephanie : And Ridge , pretty even then .
Eric : Yes indeed . That s the year that he decided he no longer believed in Santa Claus .
Stephanie : That was the year that you decided to put on a Santa Claus outfit go on top of the house and fell off the roof because there was too much Rum in the eggnog .
Eric : One time . One time I fell of the roof .
Stephanie : It only takes one time darling .
Eric : this is going to be a great Christmas , you know that ?
Stephanie : mmm hmm .
Eric : It s going to be wonderful . Especially because we have our brand new two grandchildren having their first Christmas here . In our house .
Stephanie : I know .
Eric : Surrounded by people they love .
Stephanie : I know . Uh oh .
Ridge : Look at this place . All decked out for Christmas . just like the north pole .
Stephanie : My favorite Christmas elf , and it is nt you .
Eric : You did nt say that you were bringing R.J.
Ridge : Well , Brooke and Catherine took the other kids to go do some last minute shopping . I hope you do nt mind , I know you wanted to talk business .
Eric : Oh , it s perfectly appropriate . He can sit in with us . He can learn from us . He can hit the ground running .
Stephanie : Please , he s a Forrester . He ll decorate . He ll have a wonderful time . We ll be very happy together .
Ridge : Remember you said that . He s teething .
Stephanie : [ whispering ] See the tree , hmm ? ? Wanna see the tree ? Look . See the balls , and theirs a picture of dad . How do you like that ?
Darla : Merry Christmas everyone .
Clarke : Ah bah hum - bug .
Darla : Oh , what does that mean ? What happened ?
Thorne : Our first sales report came in . It is nt as good as we hoped for .
Darla : Oh come on , how bad can it be ?
Sally : I do nt know honey . I just do nt get it . I know we came charging out of the gate like a winner with our fashion showdown against Forrester , and then we followed that up with our moon light publicity stunt at Jackie M.
Clarke : The whole world was talking about us .
Sally : So why did they stop ?
Darla : Because we stopped . Like we fell into a black hole waiting for clearance to get the Forrester trademark .
Thorne : Darla s right , and now that we have clearance we need to get our name back out there again , big time .
Sally : we re talking about big time hmm . Well that happens to be my specialty . I mean you may not have noticed it but I have always had a tendency to do things in a rather broad way .
Clarke : you do nt say .
Sally : you just leave the P.R. campaign to me . I guarantee you . I will have everybody buzzing about us again . Our name is gon na be huge .
Eric : Here we are , check this out .
Ridge : The latest sales figures
Eric : Letting spectra use our logo has nt hurt our sales at all . In fact profits are up .
Ridge : You call me over here to tell me I told you so ?
Eric : Yes , but that s not the only reason . I called you over here because I want you to come back . Forrester needs you . I need you .
Amber : Stephanie , please tell me that that is nt Ridge s car in the driveway .
Stephanie : He s in the study with Eric .
Amber : okay
Stephanie : No no , look . His baby is here . [ whispering ] R.J. , he s asleep . If he was awake I d say to him look it s Amber . Our good family friend .
Amber : Hello .
Stephanie : Is nt he adorable ?
Amber : Your daddy does nt think I m your friend , but what does he know huh ? ? He does nt know anything . Oh , he is so beautiful .
Stephanie : You wanna hold him .
Amber : Oh yea yea yea I d love to . oh wait hmmmm . [ sighs ] I do nt know .
Stephanie : I think it ll be okay .
Amber : Oh . Oh . He s so precious . Your such a precious big big boy are nt you ? Oh he smells so good . You smell better than heaven . Yes you do . That s what I used to tell my little baby . I know what you re doing . yep , why you wanted me to hold him . You are trying to prove that I am ready for a baby and Thomas is nt .
Stephanie : Am I ?
Amber : Yes you are and it s not going to work because I can definitely put off having a baby .
Stephanie : Look me in the eye and tell me that one again .
Ridge : I do nt get it .
Eric : Well I ca nt put it any plainer I want you back .
Ridge : According to these sales figures , you re doing just fine with out me . But it is the holiday season and sales are up across the board .
Eric : mmm hmm . That s one explanation of course . But the other is that our clientele has seen our product . They ve compared it to Spectra and they ve decided that we have the better merchandise .
Ridge : Well for your sake , I hope that s the case .
Eric : Well look , if you wanna guarantee that , you need to come back . and you and I need to continue putting out the top of the line . And to do that I need your designs .
Ridge : What s wrong with yours ?
Eric : Nothing s wrong with mine . I can keep us competitive but together you and I are unbeatable and besides I miss us working together . I miss the give and take there . I even miss it when you criticize my work . of course you re hardly ever right .
Ridge : Oh please ! I ve saved your butt more times than I can count .
Eric : you wish .
Ridge : Do I need to remind you who tried to reinvent the powder blue leisure suit ?
Eric : Now wait a minute . I m a big big fan of polyester .
Ridge : My point exactly .
Eric : Look Ridge . Come back okay ? lets put everything that s happened in the past few weeks behind us .
Ridge : What is this ?
Eric : what ? What s the matter ?
Ridge : This is Spectra s new logo ?
Eric : Yes , look I know what you re gon na say .
Ridge : Not only is Thorne Forrester the same size as Spectra couture they re also using the same font as Forrester .
Eric : Ridge , just calm down alright ?
Ridge : Calm down ? Dad this is exactly what I said would happen . They re totally taken advantage now .
Clarke : Sally , you ve got some explaining to do . have you seen this new press release ?
Sally : yea , so . We all just agreed we were going to step up public relations efforts .
Clarke : yea , well nobody agreed to this .
Sally : agreed to what ? What s the problem ? It says spectra by Thorne Forrester .
Clarke : look at the Thorne Forrester part .
Sally : Yea , so ?
Clarke : So well , It s big , it s bold , it s bigger than Spectra , and the type font is the same as Forrester Creations .
Sally : Gee I did nt notice .
Clarke : You did nt notice , it jumps right out at ya Sally . I know what you re up to and I got ta tell ya one thing , you are a genius .
Sally : Hmm yea well , I am are nt I. A little change of font here . A little change of font there and uh , we will not only going to catch the public s eye we will catch their wallets too .
Clarke : and our lumps of coal in our stocking will be turned into diamonds .
Sally : The crowned jewels . That s what we got here Bucky . We are going to de- thrown king Eric and queen Stephanie and we are going to rule in their place .
Sally : You know what ? This is turning out to be a season of joy .
Ridge : well they did nt waste any time did they .
Eric : Thorne s a big selling point for them . Their doing what they have to do .
Ridge : This does nt bother you ?
Eric : Ridge the buyers out there are savvy . Come on they know the difference between the spectra product and the Forrester product . Our sales figures prove that .
Ridge : you re being way too nonchalant about this .
Eric : I do nt think so
Ridge : well then you ve got your head buried in the sand .
Eric : Ridge , if you re so convinced of that then come back . Come back to Forrester and prove me wrong . I want you by my side son .
Ridge : Dad I appreciate that . Look I would do anything for you . You know that . but my reason for taking this leave of absence has nt changed . There s a lot going on . A lot of things I ve got ta deal with . I need this time for me and my family .
Eric : all right . But the offer will always be open .
Ridge : well , you never know when I may take you up on it . Spectra has fired the first shot . I ve got a bad feeling there s a lot more to come .
Darla : You still worried about that sales report ?
Thorne : I know we re headed in the right direction .
Darla : Try telling that to Ridge . He s probably quoting those numbers to any body that will listen .
Thorne : If he even knows about it , and if he does I do nt think he ll be gloating . He s had a rough time lately you know . This battle with my dad has really taken it s toll .
Darla : God , who would have thought six months ago that you would be getting along so well with your father and Ridged be on the outs .
Darla : It s gon na make for one interesting Christmas huh ?
Amber : You think you know me so well .
Stephanie : You re telling me right now that you have no desire to be a mother ?
Amber : Yes . I am telling you that I -- I think about it sometimes . Okay , fine , I think about it all the time , but you know what , some things are not meant to be , so --
Stephanie : Oh , you re just gon na sweep all those feelings under the rug and wait until tom s old enough to make a commitment to be married and to have a family ?
Amber : I can wait , because I love him .
Stephanie : That s very noble . But let me tell you , nobility has a price .
Amber : Yeah , I know . I know . I ll be an older mother , and I wo nt have as much energy to give my kids as I d like to , but --
Stephanie : You re talking as though you could actually have a child .
Amber : You heard the doctor . He said if I get a surrogate , then --
Stephanie : We re -- we re talking about something that might a decade away . Why ? Why are shutting yourself off from all possibilities ? Because you want to date a young boy . Oh , come on Amber . You need a mature , wonderful man . Someone who s now ready to make a commitment for marriage and a family . Amber -- it s up to you .
Amber : You are so sweet and innocent .
Stephanie : I think I hear Ridge and Eric .
Ridge : It s true .
Eric : You re kidding .
Ridge : No , no . R.J. Sat on Santa s lap up and pulled his beard right off his face . Hello , Amber .
Amber : Ridge .
Stephanie : Amber was just saying how absolutely handsome your little baby boy is .
Ridge : Gon na make a play for him now , too ?
Amber : Are nt you just brimming with the Christmas spirit . You know -- excuse me . I think I m gon na go watch The grinch .
Ridge : Why do you continue to let her live under your roof here ?
Stephanie : Let s not get into it , Ridge . Please do nt forget to bring the swing for the baby tomorrow .
Ridge : Listen , Mother , Dad -- Brooke and I had a little talk , and we decided we re gon na have Christmas at our house this year . Just a little thing with the kids .
Stephanie : What ?
Ridge : You re welcome to come by . I m sure there ll be enough food for an army .
Stephanie : But we always have Christmas here .
Ridge : And we love coming to that , we really do . We just felt like maybe it was time to start a little tradition of our own .
Eric : A tradition that does not include Thorne . I mean , that s why you re really backing out of this , is nt it ? So you wo nt have to spend the holiday with him ?
Stephanie : Do nt answer that . Is Eric right ? Are you doing this to avoid your brother ?
Ridge : I just think you and dad should spend this Christmas with Thorne and his family this year . You would nt have to referee us , and he can has your complete and total concentration and attention . Whether he s right or wrong , the guy obviously needs that . I just do nt want to play scrooge . Come on , big boy . Let s get you home . Yeah . Merry Christmas .
Stephanie : Merry Christmas .
Amber : Are you sure that s what you want to do ? I know your parents are gon na be disappointed .
Thorne : Just tell them that we ll stop by and say hello , okay ? Darla and I think it s best that we do our own thing this year .
Amber : You know , maybe I should go get them and you can --
Thorne : No , no . I do nt want to interrupt them while they re talking to Ridge , okay ? Just give them the message , will you ?
Amber : Whatever you say , boss .
Thorne : Thanks , Amber . Looking forward to seeing you and Sally and the gang . Bye .
Darla : Well , that s quite a sacrifice you re making -- giving up Christmas with your family .
Thorne : Well , it s worth it , you know ? Ridge and dad need this time together to get things back on track .
Darla : And because of you , they ll do that .
Stephanie : Christmas without Ridge and the children ?
Eric : Hard to believe , is nt it ? Well , he s probably right , that it ll make things easier for Thorne .
Amber : Stephanie , Eric -- that was just Thorne on the phone . He said that they decided to stay home for Christmas .
Eric : Staying home ?
Stephanie : Did you misunderstand what he said ?
Amber : No , no . He said he would have told you himself , but I said that you were talking to Ridge , and -- he said that they would stop by at some time --
Eric : Amber , thanks .
Amber : Sure . I m sorry . I know how much you guys were looking forward to having the whole family together .
Eric : Well , Thorne is doing the same thing Ridge is doing , just trying to give us a peaceful holiday .
Stephanie : Well , it ll definitely be peaceful .
Eric : I ll call them . I ll call them both , I ll settle this thing .
Stephanie : No . No , they want to start traditions of their own . For goodness sakes , they re grown men with their own families . I think we were silly to think that this could go on forever .
Eric : It s gon na be different . It ll be different , but it will still be wonderful .
Stephanie : Of course it will . You ll play the piano , and you ll sing songs , Christmas songs to me . And I ll put more Rum in the eggnog for you , and we ll both eat your mother s stuffing . And we ll love it . And the love that we had for one another will fill this house with joy .
Eric : We ve had many , many , many many wonderful Christmases together . This will be just as wonderful .

### Dialogue:
JOE PALCA, host : This is SCIENCE FRIDAY from NPR. I'm Joe Palca, in for Ira Flatow.
JOE PALCA, host : Several weeks ago, BP capped the leaky well in the Gulf, and for the time being the gushing has stopped. A permanent fix may be on the way. Now BP and government officials may be able to stop calculating their what-if, worst-case scenarios and just focus on the dirty work of cleaning up the oil.
JOE PALCA, host : There are some natural conditions that will help with the cleanup. For example, the water in the Gulf is pretty warm right now, in some places in the mid-80s, and those higher temperatures mean the oil will evaporate faster.
JOE PALCA, host : And the Gulf is home to legions of microbes adapted to feast on the oil that naturally seeps from the sea floor. So with any luck, those microbes will be hungry.
JOE PALCA, host : Just how long remnants of the oil will lurk in marshes and sandbars or in underwater sediments is still up for speculation, but one thing's for sure: Chemists, biologists, ecologists and toxicologists will be studying the Gulf to gain a better understanding of how nature response to a disaster like this.
JOE PALCA, host : How much they have learned so far and what they hope to get in the future is our topic for the first part of this hour. So give us a call. Our number is 800-989-8255, that's 1-800-989-TALK. If you're on Twitter, you can tweet us your questions by writing the @ sign, followed by Scifri. If you want more information about what we'll be talking about this hour, go to our website at www.sciencefriday.com, where you'll find links to our topic.
JOE PALCA, host : And now let me introduce my guests. First, Christopher Reddy, he's an associate scientist of marine chemistry and geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. He joins us from the studios of WCAI in Cape Cod. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY, Dr. Reddy.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Good afternoon, Joe.
JOE PALCA, host : Good afternoon. And my other guest is Denise Reed. She is the interim director of the Pontchartrain Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of New Orleans and a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences there. She joins us from the studios of WWNO in New Orleans. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY, Dr. Reed.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Thanks, Joe.
JOE PALCA, host : So Dr. Reddy, let me start with you. What's going to happen to the oil out there? Are we going to know that this happened 40 years from now, this disaster in the Gulf?
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : I'm not quite sure. I mean, certainly a lot of oil has been released into the environment. Nature has certainly responded and helped by evaporating the oil.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : I think the key question is if we find oil that's 40 years from now, what percentage of it is of the relative release? So I think we want to kind of focus more on how much is going to be gone and how much is going to be gone in a year and two years and three years and four years than perhaps some trace evidence in four decades, which may not have much of an impact.
JOE PALCA, host : So is there a good way to measure how the oil is, how much oil there is today and next year, and I mean is that being measured?
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Oh, yeah. There's a significant effort that's going on underway of collecting a variety of water samples, sediment samples, tissue samples, that will help provide some insight as to how much oil resides in each one of those matrices.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Perhaps what's even more important is that oil is a complex mixture of molecules, and each one of those molecules has a certain different behavior, and within that behavior provides clues as to certain processes, like evaporation or microbial degradation that's occurred on that oil.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : And so not only can we tell how much oil there's been in looking at a sample -we can tell what's happened to it, and it actually has a story within itself.
JOE PALCA, host : I see. Well, let me turn to you, Dr. Reed. What are we seeing so far? How would you characterize the damage, and how much are the wetlands, have badly have they been affected?
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Well, I think overall I'd say we've been very lucky so far, and I hope our luck is going to hold. We have some oil in the wetlands. We have, as you know, a very fragmented coast. People describe it as like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing. It's very convoluted, very gappy, lots of places for the oil to go and go in and out with the tide.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : And so we've had some on the beach, but what has got to the area behind the barrier islands, into the bays, has some of that has also got into the wetlands.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : The good thing about this is that the spill location is a good way offshore, 50 miles offshore, and so the oil actually has to travel a good distance before it reaches the most sensitive of the environments that we have at the coast, the coastal wetlands.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : And as Chris just described, an awful lot of things can happen to that oil in that journey in terms of its degradation. So by the time the oil gets to the marshes, it's probably not toxic in the sense that it's going to just kill them on contact.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : And so the real issue, as far as the wetlands are concerned, as far as those marsh grasses, is how much oil there is covering them. Can you still see some green? And for the most part, if you fly over coastal Louisiana, it's still mostly green.
JOE PALCA, host : Really? So even if there's some oil there and even some oil on some of the grass, there's a chance that the grass in large will survive.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Absolutely. One of the things you have to remember when you work on wetlands is that there's as much below the surface as there is above the surface.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : You know, we think of the grass as the green part that we can see, but the roots and rhizomes below the surface are where the energy reserves really are for these plants.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : And so these plants are also great adapted. They're really well-adapted to these environments where they live. The soils are wet and smelly, you know, when you go walking through them, right. There's decomposition going on there. There's not a lot of oxygen in that soil.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : But the plants transmit oxygen from the leafy green part of the plant down to the roots, and that's how they manage to live in the wetlands. And so as long as there's green at the surface, and that oxygen transmission process can still continue down to the roots, then the plant has a good chance of surviving.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : One of the things that has been observed just recently, given that this event has been going on now for 100-odd days, is that some of the plants that were initially oiled and looked fairly brown at the surface have started producing new green shoots.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : What this tells us is that they are they've got a lot of reserves still left down there and that there's some energy, if you like, in the roots and rhizomes that can still fight back and put some green shoots out.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : And they do that because they have to get that oxygen down to the roots. That's their survival mechanism, if you like.
JOE PALCA, host : Right. So maybe I mean, I've heard a lot of reports of people running around in marshlands and trying to soak up this oil, but it sounds like you're saying that the grasses might have their own mechanisms that worked even better than anybody can do trying to help them.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : The grasses are pretty good. Yeah, nature's pretty good at this, as well as the microbial degradation that occurs at the surface of the marsh.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : However, if the plants really are totally covered in oil, then it's possible that they may not be able to come back. If the whole plant is covered in some of the sticky black masses that we saw early in the event, then that could be bad.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : But if you look at the whole scale of things, if you think about the whole coast of Louisiana, we have millions and millions of acres of coastal wetland, and so if you imagine this jigsaw puzzle, if you like, with the pieces missing in a corner, and the oil comes in, it doesn't penetrate across the whole picture of the landscape. It just gets caught around the edge - because the grass is actually very good at trapping the oil at the edge.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : The tide in Louisiana only goes up and down by about a food or maybe two feet normally, and so even at high tide the plants are still sticking up out of the water. So when the oil floats in on top of the water, the edge of the grass captures it.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : So what you see when you fly over the marsh often is a band of oiling - only, say, three, four, five feet wide at the edge, and then the marsh further in the back is still really untouched.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay. Let's take a call now and go to Rachel(ph) in Long Beach, California. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY. You're on the air.
RACHEL (Caller) : Okay, I am a Master's student actually studying wetland ecology, and I was just curious - we're talking a lot about how long the oil is going to stay in the system. But I was wondering if there was any interest in research or even any funding from BP for the really long-term studies for even after the disturbance is gone, how the ecology of the region is going to be affected.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay, Rachel, good question. Chris Reddy, let me ask you about that. You are interested in long-term survival rates and issues.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Yeah, I've worked on several spills that have occurred 35 and 40 years ago, where you can still see some trace levels of oil and impacts. I suspect, and I'm not quite sure of it, but I suspect that the government, along with the responsible party, in this case British Petroleum, will put a use what they call set-asides, where they will set aside an area that was oiled and let it be and see - use it as a natural living laboratory.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : I haven't heard if they've chosen any areas, but I know there's discussion of that.
JOE PALCA, host : I think we just call them BP now. So I don't think they have any national association in their name any longer. But that's okay. So okay, you've been studying spills, you know, that go back 30 or 40 years. You had one in your neck of the woods in 1969. What's been now we're in 2010. What's been the effect of that?
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Well, 40 years later, you, if you take a shovel, you can still see and smell oil a couple inches below the surface, and you know, that's noteworthy that nature for some reason, you know, got snagged in that respect where you can still smell and still analyze oil in this region.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : What's more important to perhaps put in the context is that of the oil that's spilled, and it was a pretty devastating spill, .02 percent of the oil that originally spilled can be found. And it's only a very small area that was originally oiled that still is persisting.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : So you have to put this all in the context of yes, oil can persist for a long time, but how much, to what extent and to the damages that will occur are just as important.
JOE PALCA, host : Right, and has this I mean, the fiddler crabs have had some damage to their ecosystem. Isn't that right?
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Yeah, in one location where we studied in 1969, small crabs who burrow down below to avoid predators and also help aerate the marsh can't they actually smell the oil. They're better than any of our chemical instruments we have in our lab, and they avoid the oil, and then they can't avoid predators.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : And so the fiddler crabs are less abundant in this very small oiled area, and in fact they are also, for lack of a better term, drunk. The residual oil can act like a narcotic. And so they don't move as fast when they're stimulated.
JOE PALCA, host : We're talking with Christopher Reddy. He is an associate scientist of marine chemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. And Denise Reed, she's the director of - or interim director of the Pontchartrain Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of New Orleans. We're talking about the long-term consequences of this - well, the long and short-term consequences of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
JOE PALCA, host : We're taking your calls at 1-800-989-8255. We've got a short break, but we'll be coming back to talk more about the cleanup, how it's going and what we can expect in the future. So stay with us.
JOE PALCA, host : From NPR, this is SCIENCE FRIDAY. I'm Joe Palca. We're talking about the oil spill cleanup this hour with my guests Christopher Reddy - he's an associate scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts - and Denise Reed. She's a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences in New Orleans, at the University of New Orleans.
JOE PALCA, host : And let's take a call now and go to Jerry, Jerry in Tallahassee, Florida. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY. You're on the air.
JERRY (Caller) : Thank you, Joe. I'm curious about I'd like some more information about these oil-eating microbes. I can see this whole event becoming a fertile field for science fiction writers. And you mentioned that these microbes actually eat the oil. What happens do they ever become sated? Would they mutate? Are they like the fiddler crabs? Could they get drunk on it, or what's tell us more about those.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay, Chris Reddy, what about that?
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Sure. Any run-of-the-mill, self-respecting bacteria would love to eat oil. It's the equivalent to butter for it's got a high caloric content, just and that's why we use it to power our cars.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : I wouldn't worry too much about these bacteria. Any aquatic body, even far, far away from the Gulf of Mexico, if you dosed it with some oil in the right conditions in the right way, you will get them to eat the oil.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : In the Gulf of Mexico, there will be some response, and the bacteria will eat some fraction of the oil. The key thing you have to remember about bacteria and eating oil is they act a lot like teenagers. They do it on their own timescale, like for a chore. They do it on their own timescale.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : They usually do the easiest thing first, and they very rarely clean the whole job up. So they will play an important role in terms of our natural capacity to clean up the oil.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : I wouldn't worry about science fiction aspect. When the food's gone - or in this case, you also have to remember that they'll eat the low-hanging fruit. There's some molecules that are pretty tasty, and then there are other molecules that are avoidable. And so they'll just leave them behind.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : But I think we're pretty safe. The algae are our friends in this. I mean, the microbes are our friends, but they're certainly not going to be enemies down the road.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay. Jerry, thanks very much for that question.
JERRY (Caller) : Thank you.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay. Denise Reed, can I ask you, you mentioned that the wetlands, you know, there's a lot of muck and decomposing stuff, which I presume has a lot of microbes in it. Is - do they play any role in cleaning up the marshes, or is there something else going on there?
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Well, essentially, the same process that's going to break down the oil in the marsh is going to break down the oil that's out in the Gulf of Mexico, or out in the open water, these fundamentally, you're just breaking down organic matter, and that's the kind of process that goes on here, you know, 24-7, 365, very, very actively.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : This is a very warm environment. As you mentioned, the temperature of the water is well over 80 degrees already, and in the near shore waters, in the shallower waters, it can definitely be even warmer than that.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : So we've got a very, very biologically productive system here, and so, as Chris says, this is just another source of food. And so the consumers in this, the bacteria, are really going to have a go at this stuff when it gets set.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : And, of course, that's the issue, is that a lot of that has already happened by the time it gets into the marsh. So we are not seeing the kind of classic, oily slick. We are seeing this already degraded kind of chocolate-brown material a lot of the time - or obviously, a lot of tar balls, too.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay. Let's take another call now and go to Sara in Libertyville, Illinois. Sara, you're on the air with SCIENCE FRIDAY.
SARA (Caller) : Hi. I am really I don't understand the whole concept of oil evaporating. Can you explain it to me? Because I thought that I mean, I thought, like, water evaporates, and then a solid would be leftover there. And wouldn't that still cause problems?
JOE PALCA, host : Well, okay, let's see if we - Chris Reddy, maybe you want to tackle that one.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Sure. Think about that, if first of all, it's crude oil, and so crude oil is made up of a variety of compounds that we use and refine to make gasoline, all the way up to asphalt that you put on the road.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : So it's a really good question. What is evaporating are the compounds that are most likely to evaporate, and so if you dropped a gallon of gasoline on the road, you would see a lot of it evaporate, because those are the properties that lead to it.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : If you dump some asphalt on the road, not much of it would evaporate and go away. And so what's happening right now in the Gulf is what we call weathering, which is that selective compounds are getting removed by evaporation. But it's not- it's not a complete blanket, that every, single molecule that's in the oil is evaporating at the same rate, or will evaporate at all.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : So the end result is is that the oil is constantly changing due to a variety of processes. Evaporation is most likely the most biggest driving force at this point in terms of nature's ability to help clean up the spill.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay, thanks for clearing that up. Dr. Reed, can I come back to you and ask: What was the circumstance in the Gulf Coast before this? Were things in trouble? Were they getting better? You know, give us a sense of how were the status quo ante, as it were.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Well, the coast of Louisiana certainly was already in a very, very badly degraded state before this spill, and this is just another insult of many that have been thrown at it over the last few decades.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Yes, we have lost hundreds and hundreds of square miles of land to open water in the last 50 years, and the coast is falling apart like a kind of Swiss cheese effect, with the interior areas of the marsh just opening up to open water.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : And so we have been working very hard here in Louisiana to try and get large-scale restoration, really try to rebuild our landscape and make it much more resilient for the future. And that really has been the focus of government officials and scientists and everybody around the same table here for the last decade.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : This event has been a little bit of a distraction for us, but we know it just makes it even more urgent to get back on to large-scale restoration.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay. Let's take another call now and go to Currin(ph) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Currin, welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY. You're on the air.
CURRIN (Caller) : Hi. I've been wondering about the disposal of all of the residue from this that's landing on beaches and being put into plastic bags and all the plastic gloves that people are using and all of those barrier things that are keeping - trying to keep the oil from reaching the reeds.
JOE PALCA, host : You mean there's a lot of we're getting a lot of garbage we have to throw away.
CURRIN (Caller) : That's right. And - but mostly, like, can any of the oil be recovered when it's sucked into those, oh, those absorbent things?
JOE PALCA, host : I don't know. Let me see if one of our guests knows the answer to that. Chris Reddy, maybe?
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : Well, I'm certainly not an expert on the response and cleanup aspects, but, you know, we have to balance some of these efforts that are unfortunate that we have to, you know, use and waste sponges or equivalent to pick up oil.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : But it has to be balanced with the overall goal after an oil spill, which is to, quote, "reduce damages." And so, in some cases, it may be frustrating that we're using a lot of plastic gloves and Tyvek suits to clean up the coastline, but we have tradeoffs in terms of trying to diminish the overall impact to the environment.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : And so these decisions are made that you have to do this, and hopefully the net result is that we have a better environment due to this response and having to pick up oiled rocks and perhaps throw them away.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay. We have time for another call, I think. Let's go to David in Chicago, Illinois. David, welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY.
DAVID (Caller) : Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my call.
JOE PALCA, host : Sure.
DAVID (Caller) : Much has been made about trying to estimate the magnitude of the entire spill, and obviously, you can have the visible evidence of that which makes landfall and gets into the reeds, onto animals and such.
DAVID (Caller) : But there must be an enormous amount that's still in the water column that is going to be difficult to track and difficult to understand what actually happens to it. What kind of efforts are being made to understand that phenomena?
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : There have been hundreds and hundreds of water samples that have been collected and that are in the pipeline, per se, for analysis. We certainly don't live in the real world of crime scene investigation TV shows.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : So it takes a long time for the samples to be collected, brought back to land, analyzed. They go through several rounds of quality control.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : I think what's going to happen here, in the next, maybe, six weeks, 12 weeks and months, are gaps are going to get started to fill in, like filling in a crossword - a jigsaw puzzle, and starting to see where we might see oil below the surface and start to have a little bit better feel for the three-dimensional aspect.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : And with that data, we'll start to be able to balance this checkbook of oil that was released into what compartments that it went to. But at this time, I think that a lot of data, a lot of samples are collected, and it just takes time for them to go through the pipeline.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay. Denise Reed, I want to throw the last question to you. You know, we're in, I suppose, and we certainly face a couple months of hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico and throughout the Southern Atlantic and Caribbean. What do you think the what would happen? How badly would things how much worse off would things be if a hurricane hit the Gulf right now, hit the Gulf Coast?
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Well, the good news is that we don't have a continuing supply of oil to the surface anymore. So the large areas of oil residue on the surface of the water are now no longer present in the great quantities that they were before.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : The big worry with the marshes when we have a hurricane is, as I said earlier, under normal circumstances, the tide only goes up and down by the foot or so, and so the plants actually catch the oil at the edge. When we have a hurricane or even a tropical storm, then obviously, the water gets a lot deeper, and that can spread what we have on the surface the oil over - on the surface of the water over a much, much larger area. Of course, the wave action tends to kind of break it up and fragment it, as well, so it's not like we have a - would have a big slick moving across the surface of the marsh.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : But I have to say that having lived here for more than 20 years, when people's houses flood during a hurricane, they have enough to deal with in terms of hosing the mud out of their house and dealing with all of those issues without having to be concerned about whether there is oil in that water and oil in that mud. And so we've got to cross our fingers. That that would be a whole different kind of problem than the problems we've been dealing with for the last hundred days, and let's just hope it doesn't happen.
JOE PALCA, host : Exactly. Well, the Gulf has had a feeling of being snake bit. Hopefully, they'll avoid that particular problem this year. But anyway, we've run out of time. I'd like to thank you both. Christopher Reddy is an associate scientist of marine chemistry and geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. Thank you.
Dr. CHRISTOPHER REDDY (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) : And thank you, Joe.
JOE PALCA, host : And Denise Reed, who you were just hearing, is the interim director of the Pontchartrain Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of New Orleans and a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences there. Thank you.
Dr. DENISE REED (University of New Orleans) : Thank you, Joe.
JOE PALCA, host : Okay.
### Summary:
| The Gulf of Mexico has a few ways of cleansing oil from its waters: it hosts legions of microbes adapted to dine on natural oil seepages, and its warm water temperatures favor the evaporation of oil. But scientists say it's still too early to know how long it will take the Gulf to recover.

### Dialogue:
Edward : Stick to the plans and follow my direction .
Cameron : She has an alternate personality who calls herself Kristina , and I think Kristina may have killed Alcazar .
Sonny : And I want the best for you .
Brenda : Thank you .
Jax : Tomorrow Brenda and I will finally start our life together , and nothing s going to stand in our way .
Ric : Are you all right ?
Carly : I m fine . Sophia , make sure we have extra candles in the back , so when they go out -- I want everything to have lots of candles . I just do nt want anything to go wrong tonight , that s all .
Ric : Come on , you re not -- you re not superstitious about the club s past , are you ?
Carly : That was decades ago .
Ric : Could you please be a little bit more careful ? Get a broom and clean that up . We have nt even opened yet . Look , one bad thing is supposed to go wrong , right ? It just happened . From here on out , everything else is going to be terrific , I promise .
Sonny : I kissed Brenda last night . All these months of fighting myself , and I just -- I let it happen again and for no other reason . She was there , and I had to know . You re not going to believe this , but I -- I wanted to be able to kiss Brenda and still love Carly . And I do . You always wanted me to be happy , Lily , and I got to tell you something -- I think I finally am . I do nt miss what used to be . I do nt ache any more for what I ca nt have because what I do have , for once , is love . And I got to tell you , it s -- it s not what I expected . It s better . Carly has given me more than I ever wanted in my life . Maybe I should go thank her , huh ?
Brenda : Hey , it s you .
Jason : Look , if you asked me here because you re having second thoughts about this whole thing --
Brenda : No , I m not .
Jason : I just --
Brenda : I m not having second thoughts . I just asked you here because I wanted to see how you re doing .
Brenda : I also wanted to say thank you for everything .
Jason : Well , you re welcome .
Brenda : See , I know that you say that you only married me to protect Sonny because you convinced yourself I was going to go after him , but I think that you kind of like me .
Jason : No , well , see -- first of all , that s what you told me in the back of the limo that day .
Brenda : I m just trying to tell you that you do nt have to worry about anything . Sonny and I are not going to go after each other . I respect his marriage , and he respects mine .
Jason : So you -- you did nt ask me here to take you away from Jax ?
Brenda : No , I m sorry . Sorry if you re jealous , but Jax is the best thing that s ever happened to me . I m happy . Saying my vows is going to be the greatest moment of my life .
Jax : Brenda and I would like to say a few words to each other as part of the ceremony .
Minister : I was already planning on it . The service will go smoothly , Mr. Jacks .
Jax : In other words , do nt worry ?
Minister : Exactly .
Jax : Well , I ve just -- I ve been waiting a long time for this , and I want everything to be perfect .
Jane : It s wonderful to see you all .
Alan : You , too , Jane .
Monica : Yes . Jax must be thrilled you could make it to Port Charles for the wedding .
John : Oh , we would nt miss this occasion for the world .
Edward : So , how long are you in town for ?
John : Oh , Jane and I are returning to Alaska in the morning .
Edward : Oh , that s too bad .
Alan : Would you excuse us ?
Edward : You have to go ?
Alan : What the hell are we doing here ?
Monica : Well , I am here for Brenda .
Alan : You re here -- you look like you re here for a funeral . You know very well that you wanted Brenda and Jason s marriage to work out .
Monica : Well , is it a crime to want my son to be happy ?
Alan : Is it a crime to want Skye to be happy ?
Monica : No . You can not compare Skye to Jason . And besides , the way Jason and Brenda bonded during the trial , I think given time , they would have worked things out .
Alan : Well , I think that Skye and Jax could have worked things out , as well .
Monica : Oh , please . At least Jax is nt stupid . He wised up and got a divorce . Bravo to him .
Woman : Do you have a tissue ? Weddings always turn me into a blubbering mess .
Skye : Oh , of course . You know what ? Take the whole pack . I do nt intend to cry .
Jax : Hey , thanks for coming .
Woman : Hey . Congratulations .
Edward : I see your demon spawn has chosen to join our happy little gathering .
Alan : Skye ?
Edward : I can not believe she would have the audacity to show her face .
Alan : You know , Jax helped Skye on the Alcazar case . It s possible that she has put her feelings aside and she just wants to be happy for him .
Monica : Then she has to be drunk . Obviously , she is here to do some sort of act of sabotage .
Alan : Why must you always assume the worst ?
Monica : Until she proves me wrong .
Jax : Excuse me . Hey . What s up ?
Skye : Oh . Jax , do nt worry . I m sober . And I m genuinely sorry for the pain that we ve caused each other . No , I ve done my share of damage , and I d really like to put it behind us .
Jax : No , but this is nt the time , okay ?
Skye : Look , I -- I will leave if you want , but I d really like to make amends , you know ? And I thought that today would be a good start for me to share the day with you .
Jax : Skye , why put yourself through this ?
Skye : Jax , believe it or not , I ve always wanted you to be happy . And I wish that for you today .
Alexis : [ As Kristina ] Hi . Hey . I m really glad to see you . I ve been waiting for you .
Ned : Really ? Why ?
Alexis : Do I need a reason ?
Ned : Alexis , what s going on ?
Alexis : I m glad that you did nt bring your blonde friend with you .
Ned : Is this some kind of joke ?
Alexis : No , I m serious . For you , I will fight fire with fire . You tell me what she does , and I will do it better .
Faith : Tonight is the opening night of Carly s new club . I bet she s all happy and excited -- just like my grandmother was when she opened her speakeasy in the very same location way back in the 1920S. Now , unfortunately , that first opening night ended in disaster . Would nt it be a shame if history were to repeat itself ?
Ric : Just get back to work and clean that mess up . The club s going to open in a few minutes , all right ? Hey , you re not all right , are you ?
Carly : It s like you said , you know , it s better to get all the disasters out of the way upfront .
Ric : Okay . Now , Carly , Carly , you ve been working on this club for a long time , all right ? You ve gone over every detail . Look around . It s all going to happen right now . You re standing here all alone . Your mind is nt even on it .
Carly : Why would you care ?
Ric : Of course I care . I m your friend . Why would nt I care ?
Carly : No , you re not . I hardly know you .
Ric : Carly , we ve been working together for a while now .
Carly : Yes , we have been , and you ve been very helpful every step of the way . Always with a great idea , an encouraging word . You ve been just about perfect .
Ric : That s a problem ?
Carly : Yeah , you re too perfect . Ric , you re too helpful , you re too interested , and a lawyer with your credentials has better things to do with his time .
Ric : Carly , I told you before , I believe in you --
Carly : Yeah , you ve told me a lot of things , and I bought into it because I wanted to , because I believed in this club and I wanted somebody who believed in it , too , to stand by me . But you know what , Ric ? It s too much .
Ric : Carly , why do nt you tell me what s wrong .
Carly : Why ?
Ric : Because obviously something s bothering you .
Carly : Yeah , and so if I tell you , what -- what are you going to do , Ric ? You going to console me ? You going to be the great support that you ve always been ? Or do you just want to know a little bit more about Sonny s wife ?
Ric : Why would I want to do that ?
Carly : I do nt know , Ric . You tell me .
Ric : Okay . You are way off base here .
Carly : Oh , am I ? Because Jason does nt like you . And he s never wrong .
Ric : Oh .
Carly : And -- I do nt know . You made yourself so indispensable to me , Ric . It does nt add up . Unless you re angling for something .
Ric : You know what ? I do nt -- I do nt -- I do nt know what I have said or done to make you think this way . This really is nt --
Carly : Do you want to know who you sound like , Ric ? You sound like me when I first moved to town because I lied to everybody I met . I pretended I was sweet . I pretended I was helpful . And the whole time , I had an agenda . Is any of this sounding familiar to you ?
Ric : Okay , right , obviously something happened to set you off because this has nothing to do with me .
Carly : No , it has everything to do with you . Took me a little bit of time to figure it out , and now I see beyond all the charming , smooth exterior . I sure wish Sonny was going to still be around because I would tell him exactly what I think .
Ric : Carly , will you please --
Carly : You know what , Ric ? Get moving because we are open for business .
Jason : Well , thanks for inviting me to the wedding .
Brenda : I did nt think you d actually come .
Jason : I m not . I just wanted to see what it was you needed and to tell you that if this is what you want , then I m happy for you .
Brenda : Thanks .
Jax : Hey .
Brenda : Hey . Look .
Jax : What s up , Jason ?
Brenda : My ex came to wish us luck . Is nt that nice ?
Jax : Yeah , Brenda told me she invited you to the wedding .
Jason : Yeah , I wo nt be able to stay .
Jax : I guess you ll be heading over to Carly s new club opening .
Brenda : Well , thanks for stopping by .
Jax : And thanks for letting me push that annulment through . If it was nt for that , Brenda and I would nt be getting married today .
Jason : I guess it all worked out .
Jax : Yeah , it did .
Jason : Take care .
Elton : Oh , my God . Look at you . You re not even dressed yet . Well , hurry up , darling . It s time . We have nt a moment to lose . Come on . Chop , chop .
Brenda : Oh , look !
Elton : Oh , I m sorry , Mr. Jacks , but it s really inappropriate for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony .
Jax : Well , it s too late because --
Elton : Well , we really must stand on some kind of decorum . It s a very special day --
Jax : We ll be down there in a minute . Thank you very much , Elton .
Brenda : Why are you calm ? Because you just seem calm to me .
Jax : Because this is it , right ?
Brenda : Well , why are nt you a little nervous ?
Jax : We re getting married .
Brenda : Should nt you be nervous ? I mean , this is such a big deal , you know ? What if I -- what if I trip on my dress ?
Jax : You wo nt trip .
Brenda : What if I forget my lines , even though I have them written down ? What if I pass out because I forgot to eat damn lunch today because I was so nervous ? Oh , I need a snack .
Jax : Okay . Last chance to back out .
Brenda : You , too .
Jax : Yeah .
Brenda : Yeah . Personally , I ve never been more certain of anything in my life . Unless --
Jax : Unless what ?
Brenda : Well , I m just saying , you do nt have any hidden ex - wives that are going to possibly show up at the wedding , right ? Or any deep , dark mysteries I should know about ? No little surprises that might possibly pop up ?
Jax : I thought you liked surprises .
Brenda : Not today , though .
Jax : Okay .
Brenda : Okay .
Jax : I do nt have any secrets . What about you ? Is there anything that you want to tell me ?
Brenda : I will tell you anything you want to know .
Jax : Well , I guess there s nothing stopping us .
Skye : Oh .
Alan : I did nt expect to see you here .
Skye : Well , it seems no one did .
Alan : If you re here with good intentions , wonderful . But if you re here to do something outrageous during the course of the ceremony , I think it d be better if you left .
Skye : Daddy , it s okay . I m just trying to practice what they preach at A.A. , trying to make up for all the damage that I ve caused . I should think that you of all people would get that .
Alan : There are better ways to make amends , Skye .
Skye : Well , it s not going to be easy . I mean , you know , in fact , I -- I m not even sure that I can go through with it .
Alan : Well , then maybe you better spare yourself the sight of Brenda and Jax together .
Skye : Oh , I ve thought about it a lot . I have to give it a try .
Ned : You know , I have no idea who you are anymore .
Alexis : [ As Kristina ] Okay , why do nt we go someplace else , and we can talk about it .
Elton : Ah . Everybody to the Versailles room , please . The ceremony s about to begin .
Ned : Elton , I ll be right there .
Elton : Oh , no , no , no , Mr. Ashton . I m sorry . We have nt a moment to spare . The bride is eagerly awaiting to be escorted down the aisle . Excuse us , wo nt you ? Come along .
Cameron : Wrong way . You re coming with me , Kristina .
Courtney : Hey . Sorry I m late .
Ric : That s all right . You re just in time . Club s just about to open .
Courtney : What s Carly doing over there ?
Ric : I have no idea .
Courtney : Is she okay ?
Ric : I do nt think so , but when I asked her about it , she shot me down . Maybe you ll have better luck .
Courtney : Hey .
Carly : Hey .
Courtney : You re upset .
Carly : It s that obvious ?
Courtney : Did something happen with Jason ?
Carly : Try Sonny .
Courtney : You guys had an argument ?
Carly : Oh , no . Much worse . He s gone back to Brenda .
Courtney : Carly , that s impossible .
Carly : No , it s inevitable .
Courtney : Okay , Carly , look , I do nt know what you heard , but there s no way --
Carly : I saw it , Courtney . I saw it with my own eyes . They were standing there on the docks . They were holding each other , and they were kissing like they were the only two people who existed in this world .
Courtney : No . I just -- I do nt believe it .
Carly : Brenda s probably already called off her wedding to Jax .
Courtney : Well , why would they do this ? Why would she plan to marry Jax if she was nt in love with him ?
Carly : She is . She just loves Sonny more . She certainly played this one down to the wire , though , did nt she ? Trying to get a response out of Sonny ? She got one . He probably could nt stand that she was actually going to marry Jax . So he did nt want it to happen and he took care of it last night .
Courtney : Carly , it is so obvious how much Sonny loves you . Come on , you can see it in his eyes and the way he treats you .
Carly : Sonny wanted our marriage to work . But Brenda is something he tried to fight and finally he just could nt resist .
Courtney : I m sorry , but I just do nt see it .
Carly : He lied to me . He lied to himself . Brenda s like this force of nature for him , okay ? It does nt matter how awful she is to him or how clingy or neurotic or how much she tells him she hates him and she wants Jax . There is this -- this hold that they have on each other . There s nothing I can do to stop it .
Courtney : You can fight for him .
Carly : You know how long I ve been fighting and how much it hurts ? I m not fighting for him . If he wants to be somewhere else , I m not -- no , Brenda wins .
Courtney : Hey , why do nt you just try and talk to Sonny ? I am sure that he has a good explanation .
Carly : Sonny will come to me , sooner or later , and he will -- he will be polite and he will tell me that he could nt help himself and he will promise to take care of me for the rest of my life . He ll give me all of the money that I could ever need . And then he s going to tell me how they had history between them and he could nt fight it and that he is in love with Brenda .
Courtney : Hey --
Carly : There s people coming now , Courtney . You re the hostess . Go . Go .
Courtney : No , I do nt want to leave you like this .
Carly : You know what ? I m going to be fine . I ll just pull myself together . Go . People are here for a good time . Please .
Courtney : Okay .
Carly : Go .
Sonny : Hey . Hey . Come here .
Carly : Yeah ?
Sonny : Can we spend some time alone ? There s something I need to tell you .
A.J. : You looking for someone ?
Alan : I m looking for Skye .
A.J. : Yeah . Have you seen her ? Is she here ?
Alan : I talked to her before . She s sober . She wants to make amends .
A.J. : She s not here now .
Alan : Well , she knew it was going to be tough . Maybe she just decided to leave .
A.J. : I hope you re right .
Minister : Please be seated . Dearly beloved , we have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in holy matrimony . The union of husband and wife in heart , body , and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy , for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity . Marriage is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly , but reverently , deliberately , and in accordance with the purposes for which it was instituted by God . Into this union , Brenda Barrett and Jasper Jacks now come to be joined . If any of you can show just cause why they should not lawfully be married , speak now or else forever hold your peace .
Minister : Jax and Brenda will now say their own vows .
Brenda : Oh . Um -- you ve always known that we belonged together , from the very beginning . But , see , I m not as smart as you . So , I m sorry it took me awhile to wise up . Our love has just -- it s been through so many tests --
Brenda : From us being separated , from other people in our lives , but we ve always ended up back together because , see , you re my family . You re my safe place . And I want to be that for you , too , and I do nt regret anything that s happened in my life because it s all brought me back to this moment with you . You are my strength , you re my comfort . You are my best friend . You are my love .
Brenda : And on this day , I promise with all of my heart to be all of those things to you forever .
Minister : Jax ?
Jax : I -- I wrote down a bunch of words . I struggled with what to say , but none of them seemed quite right , so I m just going to speak from my heart .
Alexis : [ As Kristina ] Guess what -- you can let go of my arm now . Thank you .
Cameron : We have a few things to clear up .
Alexis : Well , you know what ? We re going to have to do it later because I m expected at a wedding .
Cameron : Jax invited Alexis , not Kristina .
Alexis : Oh , are nt you the clever one .
Cameron : Ned did nt recognize the woman coming on to him because it was nt Alexis . Alexis has nt been here all day . In fact , I m beginning to think Kristina s taking over .
Alexis : You know , I would appreciate it very much if you would stop listening to my private conversations . Excuse me .
Cameron : Well , I m trying to help you .
Alexis : Are you ? Or did you sort of get a little turned on when you heard me flirting with Ned and so you brought me here because you thought maybe you could have a little time with me alone yourself ?
Cameron : It would be a perfect opportunity for it because Alexis would nt remember a thing when she woke up . Is nt that right , Kristina ?
Alexis : Oops -- you got me , Dr. Feelgood . You were right . It s me .
Cameron : I m glad we have a chance to talk . Mind if I ask a few questions ?
Alexis : I m not going anywhere .
Cameron : Until Alexis returns .
Alexis : Alexis is gone . And she may never come back .
Sonny : Where you been all day ?
Carly : I ve been here since 5 : 00 in the morning getting ready for the opening . There were a few last - minute crises .
Sonny : Well , it looked like it all worked out for you .
Carly : Yeah , well , there s still a few glitches . I ll be back .
Sonny : No , no , no , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . Let Ric handle it . This can not wait .
Carly : I need 10 minutes , okay ?
Sonny : No , no , no --
Carly : I got things to --
Sonny : Something -- something happened last night , and I need to tell you about it .
Ric : Excuse me . May I have your attention , please , ladies and gentlemen ? Thank you for coming . I would like to welcome you all to the grand opening of The Cellar .
Ric : You are all here -- you are all here thanks to the talent and the vision of one particular lady -- the owner , Mrs. Carly Corinthos .
Carly : Welcome to The Cellar . I would like to introduce a few people who were instrumental in getting this place started . First , Ric Lansing for helping me get the club together . And to my friends and family , who have always supported me . And last but not least , to my husband , my generous and loving husband , Sonny Corinthos , who has stood behind me every step of the way . Enjoy yourselves , everyone .
Ric : All right . Have a wonderful time . First round is on the house .
Sonny : Jason ? It s not a good idea for you to be here .
Jason : I m here for Carly . I m staying .
Sonny : I m just -- I m telling you as a friend that you should nt be here .
Jason : This is important to Carly . She asked me to be here . I m not going to walk out on her on opening night .
Faith : What s the matter ? Ca nt a girl get a drink around here ?
Ric : I m sorry , Mrs. Rosco , but we re full up .
Faith : I do nt have patience for this . Move aside .
Ric : No , please , do nt cause a problem .
Sonny : Hey , Ric , move . I ll get it . I ll take care of this .
Ric : Be my guest .
Faith : Well , look who s come to welcome me .
Sonny : Good night , Faith .
Faith : I have a particular interest in being here . You know , the place used to belong to my grandmother .
Sonny : Well , that s history , and so are you .
Faith : What s the matter , Sonny , do I look armed and dangerous to you ?
Sonny : No , you know what you look like ? A small - time player running a bluff . You run a small - time operation , and you have a very , very big mouth . Now , either you leave or I will have you thrown out .
Faith : Really ?
Sonny : Yeah .
Faith : Do you want your patrons to see your muscle strong - arming a lady ?
Sonny : What lady ?
Faith : Well , this club has a lousy track record for opening nights . Think about it , Sonny .
Courtney : Hey , whoa , whoa .
Carly : Hey .
Courtney : You re not leaving , are you ?
Carly : Yeah . I ca nt stay .
Courtney : Carly , this is your big night .
Carly : Yeah , well , Sonny wants to talk to me . He said it s about something that happened last night , so --
Courtney : So let him talk to you .
Carly : Look , I know that I should just get it over with because if he is going to leave me , he is going to do it whether or not he tells me right now or later , but I ca nt . I ca nt deal with this tonight , Courtney .
Courtney : You do nt know that s what he s going to say . Come on .
Carly : Yes , I do . And I do nt want to hear it right now .
Ric : What was that all about ?
Courtney : Carly just needed some air .
Ric : Well , did she tell you why she was upset ?
Courtney : You know , I -- I think it s about something private .
Ric : Okay . I ll see you out front .
Jason : If it s easier for you , I ll just -- I ll leave .
Courtney : That s the last thing I want .
Faith : Whoa . Grand opening not going as well as you d hoped ?
Carly : Get the hell out of my way .
Faith : It s your party . You can cry if you want to . Follow her . Give Mrs. Corinthos a night to remember .
Alexis : [ As Kristina ] You look worried . Why should you care if Alexis never comes back ?
Cameron : I miss her .
Alexis : Did you have a thing for my older sister ?
Cameron : We re friends .
Alexis : Well , you know , sometimes that s where it starts .
Cameron : Being awfully candid today , are nt we ?
Alexis : I just figured this was the best way to get the interrogation over . What do you think ?
Cameron : Good point . How did you feel about Luis Alcazar ?
Alexis : I thought he was a brutal , heartless , conscienceless killer who took my life away . How do you think I felt ?
Cameron : He was murdered . Would you call that bad karma ?
Alexis : The karmic pendulum could nt swing fast enough at that man .
Cameron : Meaning ?
Alexis : Meaning someone had to set it right .
Cameron : You sound like you feel he deserved to fall 13 stories to his death .
Alexis : 14 .
Cameron : That if he had nt been stopped , others would have been hurt .
Alexis : Yes .
Cameron : And that whoever stopped him was completely justified .
Alexis : I was completely justified . Bingo , Dr. Feelgood . You re right . I admit it . I killed him .
Jax : We stand here before God about to say our vows to each other . And I ca nt help but marvel at all the things we ve been through to get here -- the sacrifices we made , the people we hurt , the danger and struggles we ve endured . Now we re ready to start the next chapter of our lives and a future that will take us places we ca nt even imagine .
Minister : The rings ?
Alexis : [ As Kristina ] I just told you that I killed Alcazar . Why are nt you shocked ?
Cameron : Because I m not surprised .
Alexis : Oh , that s right . You already had it all figured out . So what next ? You going to have me committed or sent to prison ?
Cameron : Which would you prefer ?
Alexis : To be given an award for my service to humanity .
Cameron : Courts do nt work that way .
Alexis : Then if it s all right with you , I would like to take Alexis baby home and raise my niece to be a strong , confident young woman .
Cameron : There s just one problem -- you re not Kristina .
Alexis : This is where you re confused .
Cameron : I know you ca nt understand this right now --
Alexis : I was the one who met Ric on the dock . I knew that Alexis would never want anyone to pay for a crime that they did nt commit .
Cameron : So you realized --
Alexis : I was the one who stabbed him . I was the one who pushed him over the balcony . I was the one who killed him . In fact , I did it with a knife that kind of looks something like this . See ?
Alexis : The way that I see it , we just have two choices here . Either you keep the secret or the secret dies here .
Sonny : Jason ? Did you see -- did you see Carly ?
Jason : She was with Courtney a few minutes ago .
Sonny : She was but -- she knew I had to talk to her about something , and she disappeared . I think something s wrong .
Man : Can I buy you a drink ?
Carly : Do you know who I am ?
Man : You re a beautiful lady alone at a bar .
Carly : No , I m Mrs. Sonny Corinthos . And if my husband knew you were buying me a drink , you d be sleeping at the bottom of the river .
Man : Get a vodka on ice ?
Carly : Hey , can I have some more nuts ? Happy Valentine s Day .
Minister : Brenda , will you take this man to be your husband , to live together in the covenant of marriage ? Will you love him , comfort him , honor and keep him in sickness and in health , and forsaking all others , be faithful to him as long as you both shall live ?
Brenda : I will .
Minister : Jax , will you take this woman to be your wife , to live together in the covenant of marriage ? Will you love her , comfort her , honor and keep her in sickness and in health , and forsaking all others , be faithful to her as long as you both shall live ?
Jax : No .
Jax : I know that you were kissing Sonny last night on the pier .
Courtney : He s been cheating on Carly ? God , you are such a hypocrite .
Man : You ever hear the expression turnabout is fair play ?
Alexis : [ As Kristina ] I have to protect the baby , which is why I have to get rid of you !

Vivian : Carly , if you do nt let differences come between us now .
Carly : Past differences ?
Vivian : We ve both lost Lawrence . We have to get through this together .
Carly : You need to get the hell away from here before I call Bo .
Vivian : But this has been such a ... a terrible tragedy . Especially for you , being his wife . I do nt know how you get through each day .
Hope : I -- I really do nt blame Carly for my problems with Bo .
Justin : She s certainly not helping the situation .
Hope : He s protecting her . He s in that mode . She s the damsel in distress , and me ...
Justin : You okay ?
Hope : No . [ Sighs ]
Justin : You re not alone . I m here . You have me , and you always will .
Bo : Well , that s good to know , huh , Hope ? That no matter what , you ll always have your boy Justin there ?
Mia : No . No , she s lying . Why -- why would she say something so awful ?
Maggie : Honey .
Mia : No . No , that s a horrible thing to say . And it -- it ca nt be . Nobody would switch babies .
Maggie : Switch them ?
Mia : Sydney is my baby . She s mine .
Maggie : Well , of course she is . Tell her . Oh , my God .
Mia : No . No . No , no , no , no . Grace ca nt be my baby . She ca nt be .
Maggie : Oh .
Mia : She s dead . My baby is dead . No . No .
Officer : The right to remain silent .
Nicole : EJ .
Officer : You have the right to an attorney .
Nicole : EJ , please . Please , I did this because I love you .
EJ : You really should remain silent , Nicole .
Officer : If you can not afford one , one will be appointed for you .
EJ : If I hear you say one more lie , I m going to strangle you myself .
Nicole : Sydney . Sydney . Sydney !
EJ : Hey , you keep her away from this baby , all right ? Keep her away .
Rafe : I ll give you guys a sec . Alone .
EJ : That s my daughter . That s my daughter .
Sami : She s our daughter .
EJ : I should have known .
Sami : How could you have ?
EJ : I kicked my own daughter out of my house . I -- I loved her and I hold her and then I ... I throw her out . You tried telling me it was wrong .
Sami : I did nt know , EJ . You have to know , I -- I did nt know then .
EJ : I know . You did nt know ... the facts , but ... you knew the truth . I m so sorry . I should have known .
Sami : She understands , EJ . There s no way you could have known ... through all the lies .
EJ : I know , but I threw my own daughter out of my house because of her . She s gon na pay for this .
Sami : Take a look , EJ . Nicole is already paying .
Bo : Keeping this guy on retainer or something ?
Hope : It s good to see you too , Bo . See , we have a mole hill here , and I know you re just the guy to turn it into a mountain .
Bo : Oh , so I m overreacting ? Imagine me getting jealous when my cousin here is offering sympathy to my wife . Every time I turn around .
Justin : Okay , I think I m gon na go be someplace else . But before I go , I just want to just say this one thing , as someone who cares about both of you .
Bo : Oh , yeah . This ought to be good .
Justin : You re acting like a complete jerk . Good to see you again .
Bo : Yeah , my best to Adrienne .
Hope : He s right . A complete jerk .
Bo : Yeah . Well , sometimes guys act like jerks when old friends are comforting their wives on a daily basis , and bleeding how they ll always be there for em .
Hope : Why do nt you say it a little louder ? Then maybe our daughter could hear us argue a little bit more .
Bo : And that -- look , I came here to tell you some news . Some news that I thought was good . It turns out that --
Hope : That Carly s been exonerated . Yeah . I know . Justin told me .
Bo : Of course .
Carly : You re hurting me .
Vivian : Am I ? Oh , I m so sorry . It must be this ring bracelet .
Carly : Ring , bracelet thingy , is it poisoned ?
Vivian : I am so happy to hear that you have not lost your sense of humor .
Carly : You know whose house this is , right ? So you either leave on your own , or I m gon na have Bo throw you out .
Vivian : Well , he would if he were here , but he s not . Are you looking for the guard ? Because he s on a break . Which is wonderful for us , because we have so much to say to each other . We ll remember Lawrence , and then we ll laugh , and we ll cry . And then we ll talk about how he died .
Maggie : No , listen . You take a deep breath , okay ? Calm down , and I want you to take a deep breath .
Mia : I knew she was mine . When I held her in my arms , she looked up at me . No . No .
Maggie : Honey , now , please . You got to calm down , okay ?
Mia : She s dead .
Maggie : Now , Mia , we do nt know if this is even true . Exactly what did you say ?
Chloe : I did nt even know until today . Nicole took Mia s baby .
Mia : She said she would be her mother . She lied to me .
Chloe : And she switched her with Sami s baby .
Maggie : And we believe everything Nicole says . Okay , Mia , listen to me , okay ? We are not gon na overreact , okay ? I m gon na call Roman . I m gon na get to the truth . I m gon na go somewhere where it s quiet , and I ll be right back . You take it easy .
Chloe : Listen , I am so sorry . When I was on the phone , I did nt even see you there .
Mia : I never understood .
Chloe : Understood what ?
Mia : When Grace was dying , Nicole made sure I held her . She made sure I said goodbye . And now it all makes sense . Her conscience was bothering her , and she wanted to make herself feel better .
Chloe : Well , maybe , in some weird way , she was trying to do the right thing .
Mia : Do nt even think about defending her . No . Oh , my God . All those weird things , they all make sense now . Except ...
Chloe : Except what ?
Mia : Why ? Why would she do it ? Why would she switch my baby with Sami s baby ?
EJ : She really is my daughter .
Sami : You keep saying that .
EJ : I know , it s just ... it s hard to understand . That s all . I mean , I kicked her out of my house . I mean , she knew that , and she let me do it .
Sami : Nicole was in too deep , and she did nt want you to know that -- that Sydney was mine .
EJ : You have something in common . Both like to keep my children away from me .
Sami : Is really now the time for that conversation ?
EJ : No . I think now s the time to go home .
Sami : EJ ... not yet . Not yet , okay ? Excuse me . You guys , before she goes , um , there s something I have to do .
Mia : Why did she do it ? Did she look at my baby and say she was nt good enough ?
Chloe : Mia .
Mia : Did she know she was sick ?
Chloe : No , no . Listen . There s something that you do nt know ... the reason why Nicole did what she did .
Mia : What ?
Chloe : Sydney is Sami s baby ... with EJ . EJ is her biological father .
Mia : No . This ca nt -- this ca nt be happening . This is unbelievable . It s true . All of it .
Maggie : I just talked to Roman . Yes .
Mia : Mr. DiMera is Sydney s father , and that s why Nicole did it .
Maggie : Yeah , I know .
Mia : I trusted her . I gave her my baby because I thought I could trust her . I ve lost everything , and it is all my own stupid fault .
Maggie : Oh , honey .
Sami : Thanks , Joe . This wo nt take long . EJ ... this is a pivotal moment .
EJ : What are you talking about ?
Sami : We hate Nicole , and we hate what she has done , but ... Sydney loves her , and we have to respect that .
EJ : Respect ? Respect ? Nine months of lies I got from her . Respect ?
Sami : I know . I know . But Sydney loves her , and she deserves this .
EJ : No .
Sami : EJ , please , just --
EJ : No , no . Absolutely not .
Sami : Stop thinking like a DiMera , and be her daddy .
EJ : You do it .
Sami : Okay , sweetheart . Yeah , there you go , pumpkin . EJ . Can you uncuff her ? Please .
Officer : Hmm . Sure .
Nicole : Thank you .
Sami : Do nt . Do nt you talk to me . Sydney , you want ...
Nicole : Hi . I love you so much . Yeah . Oh . You know she s , uh ... she s getting another tooth . You know she -- she gets fussy .
Sami : I ll handle it .
Nicole : I just wanted you to be with your daddy . I did nt want anyone to get hurt .
Sami : Well , Nicole , they kind of did .
Officer : We got to get going .
Nicole : No .
Sami : Come here .
Nicole : Oh , God . Oh .
Sami : Yeah , a lot of people . A lot of sad people , Sydney . It s okay . You ll be okay .
Nicole : Sydney , honey , I love you so much . Mommy loves you . She always will , Sydney . I m so sorry . [ Crying ] I m so sorry !
Sami : Shh . Shh . It s okay .
Rafe : Well , that was , uh ... you okay ?
Sami : Yeah . Yeah , I think we re gon na be okay . I just want to take her home .
Rafe : Yeah .
Sami : Come on . Let s go .
EJ : Her home is with me .
Bo : So Justin already told you ?
Hope : Yeah . He did .
Bo : Fine . On a certain level , it s -- it s good news .
Hope : Carly must be very relieved .
Bo : Well , it ll make her life a little less complicated , and give us a chance to work things out . I m thinking Justin did nt put it to you that way .
Hope : Okay , now what did he do wrong ?
Bo : Well , I just find it interesting that he was able to give you this news in a way that you wound up crying , and he had to comfort you .
Hope : My goodness . Here we go again .
Bo : Well , I m just wondering ... would he be so attentive and sympathetic if ... you were nt drop - dead gorgeous and so much fun to be around .
Hope : That was very smooth . I think .
Bo : Well , I dug myself a hole , so do nt make fun of me when I m trying to work my way out .
Hope : Right . And I guess I m supposed to , um , not notice that you re trying to play me as well .
Bo : What ?
Hope : It is . It s very good news that Carly s been exonerated -- the happy ending we ve all been hoping for . But come on , Brady . We both know that when it comes to Carly , when it comes to the Alamains , things are nt always what they seem to be . This could be a setup . Carly s gon na need you . Now more than ever . Right ?
Vivian : My God . Look at this decor . Reminds one of how little we pay our public servants . Wait a minute . Hope has money . This is intentional , is nt it ?
Carly : Oh , you have nt changed a bit . Getting really , really old has nt mellowed you in the least .
Vivian : Grief makes you lash out .
Carly : It is -- it is my grief . And the fact that I ca nt stand you .
Vivian : Um , have we gotten off on the wrong foot ? I think we should start over . I think I need to apologize to you .
Carly : No , no , no , no . What s a little premature burial amongst friends ?
Vivian : Well , I just want to say I am so , so sorry for trying to have you killed . I could just shoot myself .
Carly : Oh , please , let me .
Vivian : I said to myself , Self , you need to get a hold of that poor girl and make things right , and get rid off all this animosity between us .
Carly : I really would nt hold your breath on that one .
Vivian : Well , even so , I do know I ll find a way to bury the hatchet .
Carly : With me holding it , right ?
Officer : I ll let you know when you can make your call .
Nicole : Oh , Sydney .
Sami : Great . That s just what we need right now , another DiMera pronouncement .
EJ : Samantha , I m just stating that she s used to living with me .
Sami : Right , well , then you kicked her out , so now she s used to living with me .
EJ : Look ...
Rafe : Okay , okay . What you just did now with Nicole , that was for Sydney s sake , right ?
Sami : Right .
Rafe : Right . So I think we just need to do a little bit more of that . Listen , I do nt want to butt in here . I know that you two have got a lot to talk about , and most importantly figure out where she is going to go , but I just do nt think that this is the place to do that .
Hope : Can I just ask you one question ? Now that Carly s been exonerated , can you tell me the secret ? The big secret you two share ?
Bo : No .
Hope : No . I did nt think so . Which makes me suspect that things really have nt changed . You just want me to believe that they have .
Bo : It is not my secret to tell .
Hope : It s just my secret to live with .
Bo : Hope , as soon as Carly has a chance to deal with what she has to deal with , you will know .
Hope : I ca nt wait .
Bo : Let me point out something here that ... you re the one who took our daughter and moved out of our house before Carly even showed up in town .
Hope : Point taken . Everything s my fault . All of it .
Bo : That s not what I meant . That s not what I said . What I meant is Carly is not the problem here .
Hope : And you know what the problem is ?
Bo : Yeah , well , I m beginning to see that you do nt want me to be me anymore .
Hope : I ca nt even respond to that . What ?
Bo : It s true , Hope . You know who I am . I m not that hard to read . And I have nt changed . I do not coddle kidnappers , and I do nt like it when my cousin has his arms wrapped around you all the time . I get -- I get mad , and I say the wrong thing . Yeah . You know what ? And -- and I do love my wife and I love my child more than life itself , and if that does nt work out for you , I m sorry .
Justin : That did nt look like detente .
Hope : No .
Justin : Hope , I m so sorry . You know what ? Let me go talk to him . I should nt have said what I said .
Hope : No , no , no . No . It s not your problem .
Justin : What ?
Hope : You know what I love ? How strong and assertive I am . How I stand right up to him . How I make my point .
Justin : Good .
Hope : Why do I feel so sick every time he walks out that door then ?
Justin : Just off the top of my head , because you love him .
Hope : Which complicates everything . Okay . Carly . What the hell is going on with her ?
Justin : I do nt know .
Hope : You know we were just talking about the big secret . Why would Carly say she killed Lawrence if she did nt ?
Justin : To protect someone .
Hope : No . No , no , no . I do nt think so , because I think she really killed him . And that means whoever took the fall for the murder is working for someone who s trying to set her up . So who s that ?
Vivian : So you and Bo and Hope . Ménage à trois . Do you darn his socks together ? Plan his special meals ?
Carly : Well , not that this is any of your business , but Hope is nt living here at the moment . She s at Victor s .
Vivian : How convenient .
Carly : Yeah . Oh , have you been in touch with Victor , because I think he might like to bury the hatchet too . Right in your forehead .
Vivian : Oh . Ouch .
Officer : So your public defender negotiated bail for a sole count of baby trafficking .
Nicole : Baby trafficking ?
Officer : If I were you , I d move fast and make bail before the other charges start piling up .
Nicole : What other charges ?
Officer : Word is you ve been a very bad girl .
Nicole : Chloe . My one and only friend in the world .
Chloe : Salem police department ? Hello ?
Nicole : Chloe , it s Nicole .
Chloe : You re at the police station ?
Nicole : I m in jail , and I need you to come bail me out . I have to go get Sydney .
Chloe : No .
Nicole : What -- I ll pay you back . I ll find the money . I ll get it to you .
Chloe : I have the money , but I m not gon na help you . How could you do it , Nicole ? How could you ?
Sami : She s asleep .
EJ : Uh , look , um ... uh , can I -- can I get you anything ? Anyone want a drink ?
Sami : No , thank you . I just want to get this settled . Look , let me be clear , EJ . Just because she s here now does nt mean that I m gon na bring up the idea that she --
EJ : Samantha , please . Samantha , please . If I can just say something .
Sami : Why do you get to dictate the agenda ?
EJ : Please , Samantha .
Sami : Fine . Fine .
EJ : I -- I have a daughter . I will forever be grateful to you for that . Thank you .
Rafe : Well , seeing as though I m still alive thanks to you , I guess we can call it square .
Sami : Guess no one knows quite what to say when we re getting along .
EJ : Yeah .
Rafe : Well , this is really between the two of you , so , uh , I ll just be going , okay ?
Sami : What ?
Rafe : Yeah .
Sami : No . No , no , no . No , I do nt want you to go . Please . Rafe , he -- EJ , he is a part of my life , okay ? And that means he s gon na be a part of my children s lives .
EJ : I understand .
Sami : Really ?
EJ : Samantha , I really do nt think I m in the position to judge anybody s choice of life partner , do you ?
Rafe : Yeah .
Sami : Guess not . Uh , well , then I guess I want to say something . Um ... look , this has all happened , and we just have to deal with it . And I think we can use this as a chance to have a new beginning . We have Johnny and now we have Sydney . We re gon na have to find a way to work it out , and ... and I think we can work it out together , right ? What do you say ?
Mia : She knew all along . She made me lie . Lie about myself .
Maggie : Mia , when I talked to Roman earlier , he said that they had already arrested Nicole , and she is gon na pay for what she did to you .
Mia : I did everything for her ... because I thought she loved my baby . But it was nt my baby .
Maggie : Mia .
Mia : She knew the whole time . Thank you . You ve been very nice .
Maggie : Honey , are you sure you re gon na be all right alone ?
Mia : I wo nt be alone . There s something that I have to do .
Nicole : Chloe , please . You re my best friend . My -- my only friend .
Chloe : And you ve been playing me all these months . I m not your friend , Nicole , I m your patsy .
Nicole : Chloe , please , look . We can talk about this later , but I m in jail . I need you to get me out of here .
Chloe : Why ? You re exactly where you belong .
Nicole : Chloe .
Chloe : With lots of time to think about everything that you ve done and all the people that you ve hurt .
Nicole : I did nt hurt her . I just made sure that EJ had his own child . I --
Nicole : I just made sure EJ had his own child .
EJ : You know , um , the other day , I actually , uh ... I overheard Johnny -- Mary was looking after him , and she -- she said that he had to mind her . And he said , Are nt you supposed to be minding me ? I could have closed my eyes and heard your voice .
Sami : Hey .
EJ : It s a good thing . It s a good thing .
Sami : EJ , I know you do nt really think that .
EJ : I do . I m really glad that my children have your genes ... fighting against his . I suppose that s just a roundabout way of saying that , um ... I want the same thing that you want , Samantha . I want for us both to come together to raise Sydney and Johnny .
Sami : I m glad .
EJ : It s not gon na be easy , Samantha . You know that . I mean , I m not gon na be a father who just gets to see his daughter every other weekend . I really want to be involved in her life .
Sami : I want that too . She needs that . Look , we just have to understand that whenever we disagree , it s not a fight , it s that we both want what s best for Sydney .
EJ : Of course .
EJ : I know that sound .
Sami : What do you mean ? What is it ?
EJ : She wants her mother .
Sydney : Mama ...
Sami : [ Sighs ]
Carly : What ?
Vivian : I was just thinking that the neighbors might find you a bit of a home wrecker .
Carly : Oh , no , no . I mean , again , it s none of your business , but Hope had already moved out by the time I got here .
Vivian : Really ?
Carly : The only reason I contacted Bo was because people were trying to kill me thanks to you . I m not here to rekindle some old flame . Vivian , you have to remember . I m in mourning . My heart is now like a block of ice .
Vivian : Aw . Well , I m sure Bo has a blowtorch around here somewhere .
Carly : All righty . Time for you to go .
Vivian : You know , you re right . You do look piqued , exhausted , run down , worn out , sallow .
Carly : Yeah . Let s go .
Vivian : You know , now that you ve been exonerated , maybe you could go some place and unwind and get the roses back in your cheeks .
Carly : Oh , heavens no . I m staying right here in Salem .
Vivian : You are ? That s wonderful , darling . Let s have lunch .
Carly : Hey , look who s here . We got a guest .
Bo : How the hell did you get in here ?
Vivian : Well , I ve always been able to open doors with my smile , Bo . I m so sorry . I have to dash . But it s been such a long time . We have to find time to chat . And you stay strong , darling . Tomorrow is another day .
Bo : What an unpleasant surprise .
Carly : Jeez . Tell me about it .
Bo : Think she s here to get a little revenge ?
Carly : No , no . A lot of it .
Man : Yeah , that s you , all right .
Justin : What are you talking about ?
Man : Justin Kiriakis , you ve just been served .
Sami : It s gon na be so worth it . You re growing all those teeth . And Mommy s gon na cook for you . Well , learn to cook first , and then I ll cook for you , right ?
EJ : You re wonderful with her .
Sami : Oh , well , we just got to know each other when -- when they were staying with me .
EJ : It s more than that , Samantha . I mean , the moment you picked her up , she just -- she just quieted right down .
Sami : Well , sometimes they want to be with their mommies . And sometimes they want to be with their dads .
EJ : Look , um ... maybe she should stay with you tonight .
Sami : All right .
EJ : I m not setting a precedent . I mean , you understand I m not setting a precedent . Can you tell Daddy s a lawyer ?
Sami : I know it s not a precedent , but it is a good start . Thanks , EJ .
EJ : Any time . Any time .
EJ : Oh . Let me go get that . Just give me a second .
Sami : No problem . Can you believe that ?
Rafe : No .
Sami : I think this is gon na work .
Rafe : Sure seems to be trying hard .
Joe : Hey .
EJ : Yes . What can I do for you ?
Joe : You can come on down to the station with me , Mr. DiMera . We need to have a little chat .
Hope : Does nt look like good news .
Justin : Adrienne has served me with divorce papers .
Hope : Did you know they were coming ?
Justin : I knew that our problems were serious , but I thought she would at least wait till we could talk about it face to face .
Hope : Justin , I m sorry . I m truly sorry .
Justin : Well , at least I know where I stand . I can get myself a lawyer , and ... oh . I m not ready to go into lawyer mode . And I really -- I ca nt really pretend that this does nt really hurt .
Hope : Then do nt . You do nt need to pretend with old friends . Just do nt .
Bo : How long was the dragon lady here ? And , uh , remind me to fire that guard . Make sure he never works again .
Carly : No , no , do nt take it out on him . No force of nature would stop Vivian from delivering her message in person .
Bo : Yeah . And you do remember that she follows through on her threats , right ?
Carly : Yeah , I do .
Bo : Well , then you should take this opportunity to get the hell out of dodge .
Carly : No . I m not leaving Salem . Not now , not ever . And you know why .
Vivian : [ Gulps ] Oh . God . Maybe I should make her drink this swill . Talk about revenge . Ugh . Maybe this ll help . Oh , there you are , darling . Thank you so much for distracting that guard . What did you do ? Show him something shiny and lure him away ?
Gus : You talk to her ?
Vivian : Mm - hmm . It s going to be a little more difficult than I thought . She has managed to rewrap Bo Brady around her finger .
Gus : You re not worried she s going to leave town ?
Vivian : No , no I m not .
Gus : Why not ?
Vivian : Because I do nt think she s got what she s come for yet .
Sami : What is it ? What is going on , EJ ?
EJ : You want to talk to me ?
Joe : Well , we need to have a little chat about that attempt on Mr. Hernandez s life .
EJ : The attempt on Mr. H -- I foiled the attempt on Mr. Hernandez s life .
Joe : Well , I m sorry about that , Mr. DiMera . I have my orders .
EJ : Oh , you have your orders , do you ?
Joe : Mm - hmm .
EJ : Here s your daddy s orders , darling .
Sami : What ?
EJ : All that talking in there , all of that linking arms , that Kumbaya , just a stall tactic , is nt it ? Till your daddy s boys get down here .
Sami : Oh , come on . I had nothing to do with this .
EJ : It s not gon na work . She stays .
Joe : Do nt make any more trouble for yourself . Sami , why do nt you get going ?
EJ : This is ridiculous .
Sami : Come on . EJ , I swear . I did nt --
Sami : It s okay .
EJ : It is not okay . Get your hand off me . I m not gon na tell you twice .
Rafe : Sami , let s let the policemen do their job . Sydney s been through enough .
Sami : Oh , come on , Rafe .
Rafe : We ll call EJ in the morning , just like you promised . She does not need to go through this .
Officer : You ve got a visitor .
Nicole : Oh , yes . She changed her mind . Oh , Chloe , thank God . Chloe , honey , I m here . Chloe
Melanie : I want you out of my life , cause I m with Nathan now .
Roman : He says Stefano did nt hire him . You did .
Mia : My baby is dead because of you !

### Dialogue:
Nick : What are you telling me ? How did Daisy make you lose the baby ?
Phyllis : It was right after she left that it happened . It happened right after she left . It s -- it s not a coincidence , and it s -- it s ... it s what she said to me , you know ? She just -- she just kept on-- on -- on pushing me so hard ...
Nick : She -- she pushed you ?
Phyllis : She did nt push me , literally push me , but I - I just ... oh , I was so upset . I - I shouldnt -- I should have just closed the door on her face when she showed up with that stupid gift .
Nick : So she was upset she did nt get invited to the wedding ?
Phyllis : Not at first , she was nt upset , but when she knew that she -- she was nt gon na be able to come , she just snapped .
Nick : What d she say ?
Phyllis : She was just saying things to upset me , and -- and , you know , we did nt get physical . I mean , there was just a little shoving . I was just trying to get her out of here . I mean , I - I would nt ... ( Voice breaking ) I wouldnt- I would nt get physical . I mean , I would nt put the baby at risk . I did put the baby at risk , just by letting her in .
Nick : ( Whispers ) Hey . Come here .
Daisy : She says it should nt be a problem .
Daniel : What ?
Daisy : The babysitter . She can take Lucy for a while .
Daniel : Oh . Okay , good .
Daisy : It s such awful news about your mom .
Daniel : Yeah . Today of all days , too , when she was so happy .
Daisy : You re wrong about no one loving me now .
Phyllis : Yeah , just get out of my house . Get out--
Daisy : No , you listen to me .
Phyllis : Get out of my house .
Daisy : Lucy loves me . She loves me more than anything in this whole world !
Phyllis : Get-- God , get out ! My God !
Daisy : I will always have more than you , no matter how many replacement babies you try to crank out .
Phyllis : Get out . Get out !
Daisy : You are pathetic , woman . Leave me alone !
Phyllis : Get out of my house . Oh , please help me . Oh , the baby , the baby !
Phyllis : Help me , please ! No , help me ! Please , the baby ...
Daniel : Well , Mom should be back from the hospital by now , so I m gon na go check on her .
Daisy : Wait , Daniel . There s something I should tell you about your mom , about what happened .
Noah : Uh , any word from Phyllis ?
Avery : Uh , no .
Noah : It is kind of strange , though , canceling a wedding at the last minute without any kind of explanation .
Summer : ( Laughs ) I bet Mom just decided she d rather get married in a hot air balloon or something .
Noah : Yeah , we ve learned to roll with it .
Summer : After lots of practice .
Avery : Well , then I will learn from your good example . I should be going .
Noah : See you .
Avery : Okay .
Ricky : Wow . Look at you . Are you in someone s wedding or something ?
Avery : Uh ...
Ricky : Oh . Did Phyllis and Nick--
Avery : No , they - m that was the plan , but , uh , they had to postpone .
Ricky : Ohh . Well , I m so sorry to hear that .
Avery : ( Scoffs ) Shut up , Ricky .
Heather : So he says he s gon na take me dancing , which-- it s a great first date , right ?
Paul : Yeah .
Heather : Well , what he does nt say is that the dancing is part of a flash mob in the middle of Times Square .
Paul : ( Laughs ) Oh , no ! Tell me there s video .
Heather : There is a video , but you ca nt really see me because I come in at the end and its West Side Story , so I m mostly just like ... ( Snapping fingers )
Paul : ( Laughs ) I ca nt believe you went along with that .
Heather : The show must go on .
Paul : Yeah . Okay , well , I m not sure that , um , Genoa City s nightlife will have that much excitement to offer .
Heather : Yeah , that s okay . I mean , it was pretty much the beginning of the end of my professional dancing career , and everyone can be very grateful for that .
Paul : I missed you .
Heather : Yeah , I missed you , too .
Lily : Hi .
Cane : Hey .
Genevieve : Hi .
Lily : Well , this is lucky .
Cane : Yeah , cause we were gon na stop by your place later .
Genevieve : Uh , well , this is my place for now . Um , the , uh , feds seized all my assets , including the house .
Lily : Well , I think I ll see if the spa can take me now , if you do nt mind keeping Cane company
Genevieve : Happy to .
Lily : Okay , bye .
Cane : Bye , Baby . Bye .
Genevieve : Shall we ?
Cane : Sure .
Genevieve : So how are you ?
Cane : Uh , I m great , only because you sacrificed yourself so I would nt have to be deported .
Genevieve : I could nt have lived with that on my conscience .
Cane : But now you have to live with the consequences .
Genevieve : Ethan , we both know that in the past , I ve chosen money and security over my children s welfare , and the consequences of that ... ( Sighs ) I ve made some really horrible mistakes in life , but I do learn from them ... eventually . ( Chuckles )
Paul : Well , I m so glad you took the job .
Heather : You know , the fact that it was Michael offering made the decision a lot easier . I know that he has faith in me .
Paul : Well , the feeling is mutual , obviously .
Heather : Oh , hell-- he ll be a good D.A. You know , I know there are some people who will think it s , I do nt know , ironic , given his history , but I think it s a plus that he understands the darker side of human nature .
Heather : Hey . Where d you go ? Thinking about Ricky ?
Paul : Yeah , he s , um , never far from my thoughts these days .
Heather : Look , whether or not he s guilty of any crimes , you re gon na have to accept the fact that he s not capable of being the son nor the brother that we hoped for , and ... he probably never was .
Paul : Well , at least your eyes are wide - open about that , and , uh ... you ll protect yourself .
Heather : Well , you can feel free to check in on me as much as you want .
Paul : You re going to regret saying that .
Heather : Mnh - mnh . I m gon na hit the gym .
Paul : Okay . Call you later .
Heather : I know you will .
Paul : ( Chuckles ) ( Sighs )
Ricky : ( Thinking ) Phyllis Newman exposed : The unauthorized biography . ( Strikes key )
Phyllis : It was nt intentional , right ? I mean , Daisy was nt trying to make me miscarry , right ? ( Exhales sharply ) Pregnant women get upset all the time . They do nt lose their babies .
Nick : Look , Daisy never should have been here , pushing your buttons ... but this does nt have to be anyone s fault .
Phyllis : ( Sighs )
Nick : Tragic things-- they just sometimes happen , without cause , without reason .
Phyllis : I m never gon na know . ( Sighs ) If I did nt have to deal with Daisy , I mean , if I ... I did nt have all this stress with Daisy and Ricky ...
Nick : What about Ricky ?
Phyllis : Oh , Ricky . ( Sighs ) Ricky is writing some tell - all book about me . He s uncovering my past sins ...
Phyllis : Which should take him a while .
Nick : Look , he s a jackass , and he does nt know when to quit . You should not be dealing with this right now .
Daisy : I went to your mom s earlier , and I brought her a wedding gift . No , I wanted-- I wanted to let her know that I wish her well , and I - I also thought maybe she d let me come to the wedding .
Daniel : So you made an issue out of it , after I asked you not to ?
Daisy : I was trying to make peace .
Daniel : Oh , that s -- that s great . How d that go over ?
Daisy : Not well . We got into an argument , and I-- you know , I know it s not one of my brighter ideas , but--
Daniel : No , no , it was nt one of your brighter ideas , badgering a pregnant woman on her wedding day .
Daisy : I was nt badgering her . I was being perfectly polite , and then she went off on me .
Daniel : You should nt have been there in the-- you should nt have been there in the first place . I mean , could you tell that she was nt feeling well ? Did she say anything at that point ?
Daisy : No , she did nt say anything . She was perfectly fine when I left her .
Daniel : Oh , God .
Daisy : Daniel ! I do nt know why you are so angry at me .
Daniel : So angry at you because I ca nt do this . I ca nt deal with you , no matter how hard I try .
Daisy : If I m so impossible to deal with , then why do nt you walk away ?
Daniel : Because you know that I ca nt do that !
Kevin : Whoa , whoa , whoa . Hey , hey , hey . What -- what are you doing ?
Cane : Thank you very much . So what can we do to help ?
Genevieve : Ohh , nothing , nothing . I - I got myself into this one , I will get myself out .
Cane : Mom , you re staying here . It must be expensive .
Genevieve : I withdrew a little cash before I turned myself in .
Cane : Okay , so it s not gon na last that long . Look , I can talk to Lily . You know , maybe you could stay with us .
Genevieve : Please do nt worry so much . I - I have things under control , really . But it means a great deal to me to know that I have your support if I need it .
Cane : Okay .
Kevin : What is the problem ?
Daniel : Could you maybe , for one second , have just thought about someone other than yourself ?
Daisy : You ca nt blame me for this . It s not like I knew that your mom was gon na lose the baby .
Daniel : No , but you could nt leave it alone , could you ? Even though I asked you to leave her alone , even though I asked you not to go there , even though it was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life .
Kevin : Okay , you guys , this is not the place for you to be having this conversation .
Daniel : Oh , we re done .
Daisy : What is that supposed to mean ?
Daniel : It means-- what that means is Mother needs me right now , or are you thinking maybe we should also be focused on you ?
Noah : Dad . Hey , um ... I m just here with Summer . Um , we re calling to see if you and Phyllis are okay .
Nick : Uh , Phyllis was nt feeling well . We were at the hospital , and now we re home . She s gon na be okay .
Phyllis : ( Sniffles )
Nick : He s just telling Summer .
Phyllis : I want to talk to Summer . ( Sniffles )
Nick : Okay . Son , can you put Summer on ? Phyllis wants to talk to her .
Phyllis : ( Sniffles )
Noah : Yeah .
Summer : Mom ? You were sick ?
Phyllis : ( Voice breaking ) It just came on suddenly . I m fine now .
Summer : You want us to bring you anything ?
Phyllis : ( Normal voice ) No , I m -- I m okay . I m being well taken care of .
Summer : Maybe this is a message from the universe , telling you to slow down .
Noah : ( Chuckles )
Phyllis : Yeah , maybe so .
Summer : Okay , be good . She sounds really sad .
Noah : Yeah , well , she had to cancel the wedding .
Summer : Yeah , I guess . So swimming ?
Noah : Uh ... look , my friends have jobs . They ca nt just drop everything in the middle of the day to go to a pool party .
Summer : Hmm . Must suck to be old .
Ricky : Hey . Well , look at you two . You look great .
Noah : Hmm . And this is what we look like leaving .
Ricky : Good one , good one . Later , neighbor . ( Inhales sharply ) ( Sighs )
Nick : Was Summer upset ?
Phyllis : No , she said it was a message from the universe . ( Chuckles ) She was nt talking about the baby . She does nt know about the baby .
Nick : This was a medical problem . It s -- it s not some kind of message .
Phyllis : It s karma .
Nick : How could it be karma ?
Phyllis : Daisy is exactly like me . She s doing the things that I did . It s my past sins ... ( Voice breaking ) Coming back to haunt me . Oh , I ca nt get away from it . ( Sniffles ) And Danny and Christine coming into town , and Ricky and his tell - all book ... oh , it s like-- it s the price I have to pay .
Nick : Okay .
Phyllis : It s payback for everything I did .
Nick : Look , losing the baby is not some kind of punishment . There is nothing in your life that you ever did that could deserve that .
Phyllis : You do nt know that .
Nick : I do nt know that ? How is that ? You saying I do nt know you ? You re an amazing mother , and you are completely dedicated to loving and protecting your family . Does that sound like someone who deserves to lose a baby ? Does it ?
Paul : So Nick did nt tell you why the wedding was called off ?
Avery : No , but he made it sound like there was no reason to worry . I bumped into Rick on the way out .
Paul : Oh . How was that ?
Avery : It was unpleasant . You know , he actually-- he seemed amused to hear the wedding had been canceled .
Paul : Ah . So we can add , uh , Pettiness to his list of personal charms .
Avery : I m sorry . I should nt have mentioned anything .
Paul : No , it s all right . Heather and I were just talking about that . You know , we ca nt wear blinders where -- where Ricky is concerned .
Avery : You know what you need ? A day at the spa .
Paul : ( Laughs ) The spa ?
Avery : Yeah . There s nothing like a deep - tissue massage to eliminate tension and clear the mind .
Paul : Well , I got ta admit , that has appeal for me right now .
Avery : All right , you should come with me . I was just gon na see if they have any last - minute appointments .
Paul : Okay .
Avery : What is it ? Do you now this man who s missing ?
Paul : Yeah , I used to .
Kevin : You keep pulling the same kind of stunts , you re gon na get the same reaction .
Daisy : I just want to be accepted as a family member , which I am . I--
Kevin : Hey , I m the voice of experience , right ? I hurt people , but I was forgiven , but it took time . You had a chance today to show some patience , some compassion and understanding , and you blew it . You just pushed too hard . But , hey , you want to be a single mom again , you re -- I mean , you re practically there . ( Scoffs )
Nick : All right . She s upstairs . She s just freshening up .
Daniel : Mm - hmm . How s she doing ?
Nick : It s tough . We were both very excited for this baby .
Daniel : Um , Daisy told me that she was here .
Nick : Yeah .
Daniel : It got ugly , did nt it ?
Nick : There s no way to connect it to the miscarriage , but to your mother , its cause and effect . The pain started once Daisy left .
Daniel : I m so furious at her . You know , I really let her have it . Hey .
Phyllis : Hey . Hey .
Daniel : Mom ...
Phyllis : Hmm ?
Daniel : Come here . I m so sorry . Hey , come here , sit down . You should nt be on your feet . Sit down .
Phyllis : Okay .
Daniel : You , um , you want something to eat ? Can you eat anything ?
Phyllis : No , I m okay . I do nt have an appetite . I m okay .
Daniel : I was thinking of maybe getting you some of that frozen yogurt you like ...
Phyllis : ( Chuckles )
Daniel : Or , um , one of those trashy novels you pretend you do nt read .
Phyllis : That -- that s very sweet . Thanks .
Phyllis : He s amazing , my son .
Nick : Listen , I m glad , uh , we ve got a minute to ourselves here , cause there s something I d really like to ask you .
Paul : Okay , so the employees at the manufacturing plant where Tim was a security guard got concerned when he did nt show up for work . Apparently , he never misses a day . They checked at home , and he was nt there .
Avery : Any signs of foul play ?
Paul : Uh , no , not that they re saying . His boss reported him missing .
Avery : His boss , not his family or his friends ? Hmm .
Paul : I better see what I can find out .
Avery : Okay , so no massage for you .
Paul : Rain check .
Avery : Okay . ( Laughs )
Avery : Hi , Magda , it s Avery Bailey Clark . I was wondering if you had anything for this afternoon . I ll take it . Pencil me in . Thanks . ( Exhales sharply ) Heather .
Heather : Huh ?
Avery : Hi . Are you looking for your dad ?
Heather : Yeah .
Avery : Uh , he just left . He told me that you two were talking about--
Heather : Ricky .
Ricky : Hey .
Avery : ( Clears throat )
Heather : I m -- I m glad I m running into you . Uh , I understand you re living in my apartment .
Ricky : Yeah , yeah , yeah . It s -- it s a great place . I m loving it . ( Chuckles )
Heather : Yeah , me , too . In fact , I still hold the lease .
Ricky : I had nt realized .
Heather : Yeah , the -- the manager was renting it out while I was gone , and Daisy did nt get anybody s permission to sublet it again , so now that I m back , I hope -- I hope you ll understand that I - I want my place back .
Ricky : Yeah , yeah , of ... ( Chuckles ) Of course , of course I understand . Um , it --it just might be a little difficult for me to find someplace else right away . Uh ...
Heather : Mm - hmm . I - I could see where that would be a problem , but it s not my problem .
Ricky : Right . ( Sighs ) Okay , well ... I ll make the necessary arrangements .
Ricky : ( Sighs , clears throat )
Lily : Well , I really hope that your mom understands we were nt just being polite and we really do want to help her .
Cane : Yeah , she knows , and she appreciates it , but I do think , you know , I do nt know , maybe she s right , and it would be a bad idea if she stayed with us .
Lily : Yeah , I might need a few more spa days , but I think we could have made it work .
Cane : Mm . I love you for saying that .
Lily : ( Laughs ) So what is your mother s plan ?
Cane : You know what ? That is the million - dollar question .
Genevieve : Have you considered my proposal ?
Kevin : I do nt know enough to consider it , other than the fact that it s a little illegal .
Genevieve : Shh . I need to know that you can be discreet .
Kevin : You already know that , or you would nt have told me this much .
Genevieve : Okay , so here s the deal-- most of my assets have been frozen . I do , however , have one account in Switzerland that the feds do nt know about , but apparently someone else does , because it is being drained bit by bit . Now I ca nt go to the authorities for assistance .
Kevin : ( Sighs ) You want me to hack into the computer system .
Genevieve : Find out where the money is going so I can put a stop to it , so really , if you think about it , you re helping me to prevent crime .
Nick : Depending on how you feel about it , I still would like to marry you today .
Phyllis : Are you sure ? ( Laughs ) Really ?
Nick : This has been a tough loss . But we re gon na get through it by facing it together , the way I want us to face everything , good and bad . So why wait ? I mean , unless you want , uh , the music and the flowers and the big party .
Phyllis : ( Voice breaking ) I do nt want any of that . I just want you .
Nick : Okay .
Phyllis : ( Normal voice ) I do nt want to face a big crowd .
Nick : I think the kids should be here .
Phyllis : Oh , yeah , of course . Someone to make it official . ( Laughs )
Nick : That , I can handle . Here , let s see .
Kay : Nicholas ?
Nick : Uh , Katherine , hi .
Kay : How are you ? How is Phyllis ?
Nick : She is doing okay . ( Rubs Phyllis leg ) Listen , um ... what are you doing today ? We need a favor .
Woman : He was civil , polite . Not much for chitchat . This conversation we re having right now is longer than any I ever had with Mr. Reid .
Paul : Did you notice anything different or unusual lately , either with him or visitors he might have had ?
Woman : No -- well , actually , there were a couple of cars in the parking lot that I did nt recognize recently and I wondered who they belonged to , but not enough for sure to say it had anything to do with Mr. Reid .
Paul : Right . Can you describe those for me ?
Woman : Um , one was an S.U.V. , black , big . It was really nice .
Paul : Uh - huh . Make or model ?
Woman : Oh , sorry , no . Oh , the other one was an S.U.V. , but it was smaller and green .
Paul : I ve got an extra car you can use , if you want .
Ricky : Oh , no , no , you do nt have to do that .
Paul : It s just sitting there .
Ricky : Okay . Okay , thanks , yeah , thanks .
Paul : Could that have been a - a Toyota , uh , Rav4 , like , an older model ?
Woman : Ooh , I m the wrong person to ask . Um , I do nt know the difference between cars . I take the bus .
Paul : Oh , well , maybe they got picked up on a security camera .
Woman : A security camera in this neighborhood ? That s funny .
Ricky : Part of our deal , Daisy , was you letting me take over your lease . Now I find out you never cleared it with the manager . Now this is a big problem for me , Daisy , which makes it an even bigger problem for you .
Heather : See , I assumed that you and Ricky were still allies .
Avery : ( Scoffs ) He s not even trying to hide it from me anymore , how Machiavellian he is now .
Heather : You know , it s breaking my dad s heart .
Avery : I know . I know . It s good that you re here . Listen , I hope things work out for you at the D.A. s office .
Heather : Thanks . Yeah , I m -- I m looking forward to a fresh start .
Noah : We were playing Shoe store in Mom s closet when we picked her up .
Phyllis : Oh , my goodness .
Faith : ( Laughs )
Phyllis : ( Laughs ) I have a lot of shoes in my closet . You can play in there .
Faith : Okay .
Phyllis : ( Chuckles )
Summer : We ll raid my mom s closet a little bit later .
Faith : Okay .
Phyllis : Uh , yeah . We have some things to -- to take care of first .
Noah : Let s put some rings on some fingers . Yeah .
Phyllis : Right . Let s do that . Why not ? ( Laughs )
Nick : Yeah , let s start the final countdown . Let s get going .
Phyllis : Okay . Okay , um--
Daniel : I ll get the door .
Nick : Okay .
Daniel : Hey .
Kay : ( Laughs )
Daniel : Ohh . Mm !
Phyllis : Oh , look at that . You come with flowers .
Kay : Well , yes , of course , my dear . It s a full - service operation I m running here .
Daniel : A one - stop shop for last - minute weddings , huh ?
Kay : Mm - hmm , well , this is becoming my specialty .
Phyllis : Yeah , yeah , I remember Chloe s wedding , I came in my workout attire . This s a couple steps up .
Kay : Yeah , right .
Phyllis : ( Chuckles )
Summer : You re not gon na wear your dress ?
Phyllis : Um .. no , I m not going to . I had this epiphany that , uh , dresses and nails and hair , all that kind of stuff , it s not important . The only thing that s important is , um ... my babies ... and my man .
Nick : You have never looked more beautiful to me than you do right now-- not in any dress , in any church , and I ve never loved you more than I do right now .
Kay : Unh - unh . Unh , unh , unh , unh , unh . Hey , hey , hey , hey . Save that until the end .
Daniel : ( Chuckles )
Kay : Oh , come on . Honestly , I mean , you two act like you ve never done this before .
Nick : Let s do this .
Kay : All right , all right , then . Okay , now , uh , okay , come on . Here we go , here we go , here we go . All right , everybody , places . You ...
Nick : Here ?
Kay : Right there .
Nick : All right .
Kay : You re right here , and you stay right there , okay ?
Phyllis : ( Laughs )
Kay : Yep , we re over there . ( Claps hands ) Now then . Dearly beloved , and , you know , I - Ive been to a lot of weddings where that phrase has never been more apt . This is nt merely a wedding , you know . It s a forming of a family right before my very eyes . Oh , good . Keep em handy . We re gon na need em .
Cane : You know , Mom did say she has some cash available , but , you know , who knows how much ?
Lily : Maybe she ll get a job .
Cane : ( Laughs ) Yeah , right . Who s gon na trust her after what happened with the feds ?
Lily : Well , there s always pouring coffee at Crimson Lights .
Cane : You know what s funny , though ? She said she had things under control , okay , but with no obvious legitimate options . I m just kind of worried about what trouble she s gon na get herself into , you know ?
Kevin : ( Clears throat ) It s not worth the risk .
Genevieve : Name your price .
Kevin : I would be violating international law . I have a family to look out for .
Genevieve : But that s how I know that you ll be very , very careful not to be caught . Okay . You had your chance . I will find someone else who s willing to make a quick fortune . Thank you for the coffee , by the way .
Kevin : Wait , wait , hold on . Uh ... Ill -- Ill do it .
Paul : Hello , Ricky .
Ricky : Dad . Well , I guess you re here to see Heather , unless someone told you I was here .
Paul : No , actually , I m working on a case .
Ricky : Oh . Anything interesting ?
Paul : Missing person .
Ricky : Huh . Well , that sounds serious . ( Pats Paul s shoulder ) Good luck .
Daisy : ( Sighs )
Nick : I , Nicholas , take you , Phyllis , to be my wife , and I will love you from this day forward , in sickness and in health , in plenty and in want , in joy and in sorrow .
Phyllis : Continue . Do nt stop .
Nick : I will be faithful to you in every sense of the word for as long as we both shall live .
Phyllis : I , Phyllis , take you , Nicholas ... ( Exhales sharply ) To be my husband --again . ( Laughs )
Nick : ( Laughs )
Phyllis : I will love you from this day forward , in sickness and in health , in plenty and in want , and I m not gon na say In joy and in sorrow . I m not gon na say it like that because after the sorrow , you -- youve shown me there s so much joy . I will always be faithful to you , and ... I have faith in you , and in us , as long as we both shall live .
Kay : I , um ... I hope you kids are listening , because they ... finally get it . Because those promises of faithfulness , uh , that they ve just made -- they were nt about , uh , limits or self - denial . Faithfulness is that ever - present awareness that you re holding another person s heart right in your hand . Now that means that-- it does nt mean you have to lock yourself off somewhere and just gaze into one another s souls . ( Chuckles ) My God , I , uh , I - I - I would be bored-- uh , well , you would , too . You would be bored to death in -- in a week s time .
Summer : ( Laughs )
Kay : ( Laughs ) Now it -- it s , uh ... it s a big , big universe out there . It s beautiful . A lot of exciting people are in it ... new ideas . Think about that . Now if you re a happy , healthy married couple , you ll explore it , you ll experience it-- separately and -- and together-- and then you will faithfully bring those exciting experiences into your marriage . Outside of that , my dears , um , I only have one more piece of advice to give you .
Nick : And what s that ?
Kay : Kiss the bride . ( Chuckles ) I now pronounce you husband and wife . ( Applause ) Well ...
Ashley : I better get my things .
Cane : I think she has money stashed away somewhere
Lily : So how are you gon na find out ?
Kevin : Somebody s been stealing money from her .
Chloe : And ?
Kevin : And I m gon na figure out who . Is nt that great ?
Chloe : Unh - unh .

### Dialogue:
Natalie : Ooh , let s get some champagne .
Paul : Now ?
Natalie : Absolutely .
Paul : All right . You re not trying to brush me off , are you ?
Natalie : No . No . Why do you ask ?
Paul : I do nt know . I mean , you seem a little wound up right now . Is something or somebody else on your mind ?
Natalie : The only thing on my mind is you .
Paul : No --
Kelly : No , no , no , no . Is he going to find out that there s a baby missing ?
Paul : I got to go .
Kelly : No , no , you have to answer me . Did you get Ace from someone in Pine Valley ?
Kevin : Kelly , I m at Llanfair . Call me when you get this , ok ?
Jessica : Kevin , are you sure mom went to bed ?
Kevin : Yeah , I m sure . I saw her .
Jessica : Well , she s not up there . I ca nt find her anywhere .
Todd : Hey . Where s Viki ?
Jessica : Why ? What s the matter ?
Todd : Blair s coming home with Starr and Jack pretty soon . I need to talk to her .
Jessica : Well , she s not here . We do nt know where mom is .
Todd : Well , where would she have gone ?
Jessica : Maybe somewhere to think . She just -- she got her results from her angiogram back today .
Kevin : It s not good .
Jessica : Hello . Oh , my God . Ok , we re on our way . Kevin , mom was at the hospital with Ben . She s had a coronary .
John : McBain .
Michael : Hey , it s me .
John : What s up , Michael ?
Michael : I think somebody s stalking me , John .
John : What makes you say that ?
Michael : Well , there were some hang - ups earlier , and the front window got broken while I was asleep .
John : So ?
Michael : So , it could be Dr. Long trying to scare me off . Is there anything you can do ?
John : Unfortunately , but without any proof , it s just a broken window and a couple of hang - ups .
Michael : Dr. Long could be outside , prowling around and waiting to make his move .
John : Michael , relax , all right ? Dr. Long ca nt bother you tonight . I got him here in my office . We ll have a long talk about all of this .
Kelly : I do nt know what you think you heard .
David : I know you re in a jam . I heard you say that you wished you never even had a brother . I heard you say you wished he were dead .
Kelly : Oh . Yeah , I --
David : Kelly , if you wish your own brother were dead , there s got to be a damned good reason for it .
Kelly : I was just upset .
David : Kelly , if you tell me what the problem is , I ll take care of Paul for you myself .
Dr. Long : You asked me to come down here and answer your questions , right ? I have been extremely cooperative .
John : Mm - hmm .
Dr. Long : Those documents prove the organs being harvested are all completely legitimate .
John : You think I ve never seen manufactured documents before ?
Dr. Long : They are not manufactured .
John : Bottom line is you come clean right now or I m coming down to your office tomorrow with all the necessary paperwork . I m going to make such a stink you wo nt believe it . And if we find one organ that was sold or moved illegally out the door --
Dr. Long : No , I am well aware of the penalty for that kind of --
John : You know what s going to happen ?
Dr. Long : I am well aware of the penalty for that kind of thing . Honest to God , this is so insulting .
John : Yes , it is , but I think it s going to get worse . But for now , you re free to go . Think about tomorrow . See you around noon ?
Dr. Long : Fine . My attorney and I look forward to it .
Nora : Still trying to say goodbye ?
John : Just trying to do the best I can , right ?
Nora : Sometimes that s the way to do it . Having a drink , saying goodbye to a photograph -- that s not how you get over someone .
John : Nora , if you ve got better idea --
Nora : I do . I sure do .
Michael : Oh .
Jen : Hey .
Michael : Thank God you made it home .
Marcie : Why would nt we ?
Michael : No reason . You guys did nt see anybody outside , did you ?
Marcie : No . Why ? I mean , what happened ?
Jen : How did the window break ?
Michael : The wind kicked something up and must have broke it .
Jen : You know , there s branches scraping it all the time . I m actually surprised it has nt happened already .
Marcie : Really ? Are you sure you did nt see somebody out there ?
Michael : No . I mean , yes -- yes , I m sure that I did nt see anybody -- how was the club ?
Jen : I ll let Marcie tell you about that one . I m going to go to bed .
Marcie : Night .
Jen : Good night .
Michael : Good night , Jen .
Marcie : All right . Come on . I want to know what really happened .
Michael : Well , the window really did just break itself out of the blue . I had this -- this is so stupid . I had this dream that Dr. Long got in here while I was sleeping .
Marcie : Why did nt you call me ?
Michael : I do nt know . I called John .
Marcie : Ok .
Michael : Turns out Dr. Long was in his office .
Marcie : You re kidding me .
Michael : Yeah . The problem is Long is just going to come up with some other phony excuse . John ca nt push too hard , not without any real solid evidence .
Marcie : That s it , Michael . I m sick and tired of living like this , ok ?
Michael : Whoa , wait , whoa , what are you doing ?
Marcie : Well , if Dr. Long is in that office L.P.D. with John right now , then that s the perfect opportunity for me to get the evidence that he needs to put him away .
Michael : Marcie , I do nt --
Marcie : No , no , come on . Come on , all right ? I m sick of living like this , never knowing when that man is going to come after us next .
Michael : Marcie , no ! No way !

Kevin : Hey , there , mom . You gave us quite a scare .
Viki : I should move in here , the time I spend .
Todd : No . You re going to be all right . They re working on something for you .
Viki : I was visiting Ben . I -- I was leaving , and got such a pain , and I thought , oh , boy , that s it , I m dying . And that was -- that was all .
Jessica : No , no , mom . You re ok .
Dorian : You fought back . Good for you .
Viki : Hi , Dorian .
Dorian : You stay strong . I m going to check with your doctors on your condition .
Viki : Ok .
Kevin : She was pulling for you . Obviously , we all were .
Viki : I know , even before you knew .
Todd : Do nt do that again , ok ?
Viki : I heard you , you know . I heard you , my children , Dorian . You were praying , and I -- I followed your voices . You all brought me back .
John : I want to thank you for -- for talking to me earlier .
Nora : Oh , giving you advice . Yeah , I m really good at giving it . I m not very good at taking it .
John : Who is ?
John : You ok ?
Nora : Oh , sure . Let me see -- aside from getting stood up by Daniel Colson .
John : Colson stood you up ?
Nora : Maybe he was having second thoughts and he really just remembered how interested he was in Lindsay Rappaport .
Daniel : Not a chance in hell .
Dr. Long : You re a terrible liar . You know that ? You re just -- you re just looking for something you can use against me .
Marcie : You re right . I m looking for the heart that you stole .
Dr. Long : Oh , that s a very serious charge .
Marcie : I know that it was harvested tonight from a patient upstairs , I know that you have it , I know that you re planning to sell it , but guess what -- it s not going to work , because this time the cops -- they re going to be waiting for you .
Dr. Long : Oh , too bad they re not here now .
Dorian : Oh , Dr. Gardner . Mrs. Davidson -- I mean , what can be done for her ?
Dr. Gardner : Well , the medication should regulate her heartbeat .
Dorian : You want to be honest with me ? You re running out of things you can do , are nt you ?
Dr. Gardner : Well , there is one thing , but it is a long shot , and it s very risky .
Jen : So , Rex is nt here . I think you d better go .
Lindsay : That s not the only reason I came over here , you know ? I also happen to really miss you .
Jen : Whatever .
Lindsay : You do nt miss me just a little bit ?
Jen : When you can stop letting guys like Rex jerk you around , then I ll be here . But until then , do nt make me miss you more than I already do .
Lindsay : You do nt have to miss me . I m right here .
Jen : Please just go !
Lindsay : You know that friend that you said that I need ? I wish it could be you .
Daniel : Look , I m sorry . It s not my fault I stood you up . It s his .
Nora : Oh .
Daniel : It s this file on Dr. Long . I could nt put it down .
Nora : Oh , all right , you win . I ve blown off a few dates doing that myself .
Daniel : Look , is there any way I can make it up to you , tomorrow night , maybe ?
Nora : Oh , I m sorry . I ll be sleeping with someone else tomorrow night .
Daniel : Really ?
Nora : Yes .
Daniel : Oh , that sounds like a lot of fun .
Nora : It will be -- in a tent , on a camping trip -- Fire Scouts camping trip with Matthew .
Daniel : Is Bo going with you ?
Nora : No . Why ?
Daniel : No reason .
Nora : Fine .
John : Can we talk about Dr. Long just for a moment ?
Daniel : John , there s nothing in that file to arrest him for .
John : How did I know you were going to say that to me ?
Daniel : Look , all I see is a suspect with no probable cause . The judge will ask me how long I ve been out of law school .
Nora : What about his pilot -- Paul Cramer ? Can you turn him ?
John : Do nt worry . He ll screw up . They always do .
Jessica : Hey . Any word from Kelly yet ?
Kevin : No , no . Have you been able to contact Natalie ?
Jessica : I can go and try her , and I just get her voicemail .
Jen : Hello .
John : Hi , it s -- it s John McBain . I m sorry for calling so late . Is my brother there ?
Jen : He and Marcie went to bed a little while ago . Should I wake him up ?
John : No , no . Let them sleep . I just wanted to make sure they were home safely . Thanks .
Michael : Dr. Long . You have nt seen Marcie , have you ?
Dr. Long : Well , no , of course not . Why would she be here this time of night ?
Michael : Well . Looks like somebody did nt make it . What do you got there ? A heart ? A very expensive heart , maybe ? So , who s the lucky recipient ?
David : What happened to her ?
Paul : She took some sleeping pills and she s passed out .
David : And you wanted to make sure she never woke up again .
Paul : Wait a minute . What the hell are you talking about ? I would never hurt Kelly .
David : You hurt Kelly every day . I ve seen it !
Paul : Do nt you push me , all right ? I was trying to put the pillow underneath her head !
David : You know what ? People have colds longer than she s had you for a brother .
Paul : What the hell do you know about family , huh ?
David : You know what I know ? I know that you got your sister so scared she has to sedate herself .
Paul : What ? Get your hands off me , all right ? I did nt force her to take those pills , and she s totally out of her mind !
David : She s out of her mind because of you ! She is your sister !
Paul : Well , you know what ? You can go to hell , all right ? Oh --
David : Come on , you little -- get up , I want to hit you some more ! Cut the act , Paul . Paul ? Get up . Please ?

### Dialogue:
Felicia : You did not call us all the way down here just to tell us you re back together .
Thorne : And I ve already been asked for an official comment .
Brooke : Good news travels fast .
Felicia : Not exactly the spin Mom s been putting on it .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Ridge : Hey , guys . Thanks for coming by .
Steffy : Yeah , well , we , uh , we ca nt stay long .
Thomas : We want to be home in case Mom needs us .
Rick : Hey . Uh , champagne . ( Laughs ) I know that you two want to celebrate , but with all due respect , I do nt think everyone here feels the same way you do .
Ridge : Well , champagne is for celebrating . True . But it s also for launching new endeavors . That s why I wanted you all to be here today ...
Ridge : To christen a new life for us and for Forrester Creations .
Whip : I appreciate you keeping me on here at Jackie M. Thank you .
Owen : Just remember the ground rules .
Whip : Jackie s off - limits . I got it .
Jackie : You are the most incredible man . I mean , to rise above your misgivings and see this situation for what it is .
Owen : It s business . You re a huge asset to Jackie M. You know what ? You re good , Whip . You are . I think it would be a bad business decision on our part to put you out there on the open market .
Whip : Well , that was just the point I was trying to get across to your wife . That s my way of saying I wo nt let you down .
Owen : Good . Just stick to your job , and we wo nt have a problem .
Whip : Yeah . Um , this is you talking , right ? It s Owen Knight , not Casper the twin brother ?
Owen : Yes , this is me talking .
Whip : Okay . All right . All right .
Owen : It s me .
Whip : Look , Jackie M. s reputation is safe with me . I am eager to make this company a huge success . You re not gon na regret keeping me here . Look , I got to say , um , not many guys would be able to get past their ego and rise above this .
Jackie : Owen knows that there s no reason for you to leave , do nt you , darling ?
Owen : Look , I wanted to put this on you , all of it . I tried . But the truth is I played a part in it as well . Look , if I would have told you from the beginning that I had a twin brother , none of this would have happened . I should have been completely honest with you , but I was nt . And from now on , I will be . No secrets ever . I promise .
Brooke : This is nt just about us . It s about all of you , too .
Ridge : It s time to make it right . Brooke and I have done that with our marriage , and now it s time to do the same thing with this company , but we need you guys here . We need your help .
Felicia : But I thought Forrester s been doing better recently .
Ridge : We re on the right track , but to build on that success , we need you guys all here .
Thomas : You brought us here to talk about business ?
Steffy : Yeah , Dad , is that what s really on your mind ?
Brooke : You two are Ridge s number - one priority . We want to make sure you re comfortable with all of this .
Ridge : And the only way to do this properly is to put all of our differences aside .
Brooke : Felicia , Thorne , we want you back . Ridge and I want to give you your rightful place back here at Forrester Creations . And , yes , yes , your issues with Donna will be addressed , and we will give you the respect that you deserve .
Ridge : I did nt really realize how much I loved having us all work here together until you were nt here anymore .
Felicia : I miss that , too .
Thorne : Yeah , we do .
Ridge : And this has always been our second home . We grew up in this building , for God s sakes . I think it s time that we all start working here again .
Felicia : ( Chuckles ) Enough already . You re makin me cry . Stop it .
Brooke : ( Giggles )
Thorne : Congratulations .
Brooke : Thank you .
Felicia : To both of you . You , too , lady .
Brooke : Thank you .
Ridge : Look , it s time to put all the bitterness and bickering behind us and get back to being a family again . We are all Forresters , every single one of us .
Jackie : ( Sighs ) You really have forgiven me .
Owen : What , you were nt sure ?
Jackie : Well , now I am . I mean , if you did nt totally trust me , you would nt have Whip in the building .
Owen : Look , it s not about Whip . This is about us . This is about our love . That s what this comes down to . Come on . We almost blew it . Got one misunderstanding after another , and the next thing you know , we re on the verge of falling apart .
Jackie : But it s just as you said . That could have been avoided . All we had to do was talk . I mean , communication-- that is the key .
Owen : It s okay . We all make mistakes ...
Jackie : ( Chuckles )
Owen : Even a woman as refined and elegant as you .
Jackie : Oh , right . ( Chuckles )
Owen : ( Laughs ) I mean , the Logan sisters are selling themselves as royalty , but I got to say , you are the queen of this industry , Jackie .
Jackie : It s just the accent , darling . ( Laughs ) All you yanks think we re monarchs . You re being serious . I m sorry . I love it that you see me that way .
Owen : Because that s what you are . You are cultivated . You are sophisticated . You are straightforward , and you re honest , and what happened with Whip was an aberration . I should have seen it , but I did nt , and I m sorry about that . From now on , I will-- I will not forget who you are . You re my fantasy , and you are the-- you re my wife , and you re the love of my life .
Whip : Let s see what Forrester s cruise line is all about . What s this ?
Man : There was a shocking revelation today at Forrester Creations . As the cruise line fashion show concluded , Stephanie Forrester took over the microphone and made a stunning accusation about Jackie Marone s possible promiscuous past .
Man : More on the scandalous Madame of fashion as details arise .
Whip : Promiscuous past ?
Ridge : Do you need a minute to stop your head from spinning ?
Rick : Yeah , I think so .
Felicia : I think you re the one that might be feeling a little woozy , big brother .
Thorne : ( Chuckles )
Ridge : No , strangely enough , for the first time , I m seeing things very clearly . Phoebe s death threw me into a tailspin . I was in so much pain , I did nt know which end was up . I had to blame someone . It had to be someone else s fault . I do nt want to be that man anymore . With Brooke s help , the help of my family , I was able to see Phoebe s death for what it really was-- a tragic accident .
Ridge : I think under the weight of all that , we became people that we did nt recognize . In all that chaos , there was one thing that bound us together , Rick , and that s our love for your mother . What put us at odds can now be the thing that brings us together . I think that s the only way to make this right . I know it s what your mother would want . And I m telling you right now , I love her enough to give her that , and I think you do , too .
Rick : Yeah . Yeah , I do .
Ridge : Good .
Rick : It s time to move on .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Thorne : No more toasts .
Rick : No , please , just one more .
Felicia : Oh , I knew I should have left with Steffy .
Thomas : Yeah , me , too .
Rick : There s something I would like to say , okay ? Listen , I just-- in the spirit of what s gone on today , I just want to take this opportunity to apologize-- to apologize to everybody here . I ve behaved like a fool for such a long time , and then Ridge speaks of becoming someone else . Well , that was definitely true for me . When I think of everything that I ve done , everything that I ve said , the things that I ve provoked other people to do , I just wish I could take it all back . But I ca nt do that . What I can do is do things differently from now on . For starters , I can honor the man who makes my mother so happy ...
Brooke : ( Sobs )
Rick : The man that makes my mother smile . Thank you , Ridge . Really . I m just so relieved that you ve come to your senses . ( Laughs )
Brooke : ( Laughs )
Rick : I can say this because I , too , have come to my senses , and to prove that , I would like to make another toast . To Ridge and my mom . All the best .
Thorne : Hear , hear .
Brooke : ( Giggles ) Thank you .
Felicia : Mm - hmm . ( Glasses clink )
Felicia : Salud .
Whip : Got a minute ?
Jackie : Um , oh , just . ( Laughs ) Owen s taking me out for dinner .
Whip : He s still in the building , huh ?
Jackie : Uh , well , actually , he s gone to get coffee . It s going to be a long night .
Whip : Yeah , well , I d enjoy the good times while they last . I do nt think he s gon na be able to forgive you much after he sees this .
Jackie : Where d you get it ?
Whip : I was doing some research for our upcoming cruise line . I just checked out Forrester , and , uh , the search engine pulled this up . I was just looking for some reviews , you know ? Eye on Fashion , that kind of thing . Picked up something else entirely .
Whip : Jackie , is it true what Stephanie said about you ?
Ridge : This okay with you ?
Rick : ( Chuckles ) ( Laughs )
Ridge : Some people need a kick in the pants to appreciate what they have . I had to almost lose everything . And I came very close to doing that . One more moment of hesitation , and it would have been gone . If this family is to function together effectively , like I want it to and I think we all want it to , we have to put all of our differences aside right now .
Brooke : Well , thanks to you , we have .
Felicia : That s not saying that issues wo nt come up .
Ridge : But when they do , we will deal with them as a family .
Thorne : And the company , if Felicia and I have anything to say ?
Brooke : Your voices will be heard loud and clear .
Ridge : Look , Jackie M. Designs has become a force to be reckoned with . We need all of our talents here to compete with them now .
Brooke : We all need to work together , focused on the same goal . No more distractions . No more indecisions . Forrester s going to succeed , because we re back on track . We re focused . We are determined . And we re headed for a much brighter future , just like my marriage to Ridge .
Felicia : ( Laughs )
Brooke : Right ?
Steffy : Actually , um , could you put a bow on it ? Thank you so much .
Owen : What are you doing ? You decorating your coffee ? ( Laughs )
Steffy : Mm , coffee cake . It s my dad and R.J. s favorite . I m gon na drop it off at Brooke s .
Owen : What ? Really ?
Steffy : Yeah . Yeah . They re , um , back together , so it s my way of saying congratulations .
Owen : Wow , that s big of you . You re not disappointed about it ?
Steffy : Well , I m obviously heartbroken for my mom , but she told me to accept my dad s choice . I really did nt want to , but then I saw my dad s face at the office , and--
Owen : And he was happy , was nt he , huh ?
Steffy : Yeah . Yeah , he was ecstatic , kind of like you are right now . ( Giggles )
Owen : Well , I guess there just must be something in the air .
Steffy : You and Jackie ?
Owen : Yep .
Steffy : No . Actually , we re gon na get another one of those-- those cakes ? That d be great . Yeah . Yeah .
Owen : No , no , no . No , no , no , no , no . No , thank you . No cakes .
Steffy : Come on . Let me just get you a coffee .
Owen : No . How about you sit and talk with me for two minutes ?
Steffy : Okay .
Owen : Go . Right here .
Steffy : All right .
Owen : So listen , I just -- I want to thank you for talking with me and , uh , you know , hearing me out . It really helped me put things into perspective .
Steffy : Good . I m -- I m glad .
Owen : I do nt know . I just -- I was so caught up in my head with everything that happened with Whip , you know , what it all meant , and , I mean , what does that say about my marriage , and I guess talking with you helped me remember what drew me to her in the first place . You know , she s wild . She s crazy . She s fun . And most of all , she s honest to the core . I like that .
Steffy : Good . So , um , what about Whip ?
Owen : Well , I guess you could say we re just , um , putting it all behind us , and we re just looking forward to the future .
Steffy : So then you forgave her ?
Owen : Well , I love her . What can I say ?
Steffy : That s all that matters .
Owen : Yeah .
Jackie : Where did you find this ?
Whip : I told you . It just popped up on the internet .
Jackie : Show me .
Whip : All right . I was just doing some research on our upcoming cruise line . I was checking out Forrester s , and there were all these-- basically the video came up where -- where Stephanie ...
Jackie : ( Sighs )
Whip : Was revealing your past , and then I was checking these blogs and articles and people were commenting on them . Basically , the implication was that you were--
Jackie : I thought all this was behind me . No one has brought this up or mentioned it for years . I thought Nicky buried it .
Whip : Then it is true .
Jackie : No . No , it is not , not -- not the way that it sounds . I was young , you know ? I - I had a - a child to raise and-- oh , God . I was just dating some men-- sailors and -- and captains , and they ... helped me financially , but it was not how it-- ( Scoffs )
Whip : Okay , okay , okay . It s -- that s -- that s -- that s the spin I ll put on it I - if and when it comes up as-- as -- as your P.R. guy .
Jackie : You have to understand . I was young . I was broke . I was raising a child on my own .
Whip : Yeah , I - I understand . I do .
Jackie : Oh , my God . Oh , my God . I had no idea this was out there . If you found it , then Owen will , too . No , that -- that ca nt happen . I mean , he could nt even handle the fact that you and I kissed just one time . He is not going to be able to handle the fact that his sophisticated , classy wife was labeled as a-- no .
Whip : Oh .
Jackie : Oh , God . We ve just got our lives back together . Why did this have to happen ?
Whip : O - okay . Okay . Look , calm down . Calm down . Look . Look , th -- the scandals do nt die in cyberspace ...
Jackie : ( Sighs )
Whip : But they can be eclipsed . Look , maybe I could just flood the -- the web with all kinds of press about our new cruise line and--
Jackie : No , no , no , no .
Whip : But no , Jackie , I can take care of this .
Jackie : No , no . I ve got to be honest with him . I have to tell him . I just pray that he will understand and forgive me again .

Chloe : Uh , I really should get going .
Vivian : Oh , no , no , please stay .

Chloe : But what can you do ?
Vivian : Well , I have a vast array of resources right at my fingertips , so whatever it is you need to accomplish , whatever your goal is , just ask .
Chloe : My goal ?
Vivian : Yes . To get Carly out of your life for good .
Victor : You know , something tells me that those tears have nothing to do with allergies .

Carly : I just feel like I owe it to you to be honest .
Daniel : Why do I get the feeling I m not gon na like this ? What ? What ? Do you have a problem with me marrying Chloe ?

Sami : I m really sorry , Gabi , but Rafe is on some undercover assignment somewhere .
Gabi : And you do nt know where he is ?
Sami : I talked to him on his cell phone . I reached him a couple days ago .
Gabi : I ve been leaving him messages , and he has nt called back .
Sami : I do nt know how I can help . You want me to try calling him again ?
Gabi : Actually , if you really want to help , then maybe you can talk to your dad ? I mean , he is the police commander , right ? He likes Ari . He has to know she did nt attack him . There has to be something he can do to get my sister out of jail .
Sami : Hey , look , I m sure my dad is doing everything that he can .
Gabi : So it s too much trouble for you to pick up the phone and ask ? Please , Sami . Do it for Rafe .
Sami : Look , I would do anything for Rafe and for his family . It s just that--
Gabi : Oh , my God . You think Ari s guilty , do nt you ?
Sami : [ Sighs ]
EJ : I ll , um , leave you two alone to catch up , okay ?
Arianna : Thank you .
Brady : I do believe in you . I do nt know how many times I got to tell you that .
Arianna : You doubted me .
Brady : No .
Arianna : I saw the look in your eyes .
Brady : I explained it to you . I was overwhelmed . I was trying to process the fact that the DNA came back as a match . I could nt believe it , but I never for one second , not one second , thought you were guilty , Ari .
Arianna : I wish I could believe that .
Brady : You can . My God , you can . Look -- look at me . Do nt push me away like this .
Arianna : No , you know what ?
Brady : Arianna .
Arianna : I ca nt do this . I do nt have time for this . I need to focus on getting out of here . I ca nt go back to prison .
Brady : I m not letting you go back to prison . I will never let you go back to prison .
Arianna : Well , you know what ? I appreciate your concern , but right now I need my lawyer . So please just leave us alone . Please .
Richard : Okay , I m not an idiot , but my partner has the wallets .
Nicole : Well , tell her to get rid of them .
Richard : Telling her to do things does nt always go over very well .
Nicole : Well , you better make damn sure that no one else finds them .
Richard : Anything else , highness ?
Nicole : Yes . Make absolutely sure she understands why there can not be any more attacks .
Richard : I think she understands that .
Nicole : Dick .
Richard : All right , listen , if my partner wants to go out and mug somebody , there s not much I can really do about it .
Nicole : Well , you better find a way , damn it .
Richard : It s not that easy .
Nicole : All right . You know what ? I ve had enough of this . You re gon na tell me who your partner is right now .
Hope : See ? I told you . God , she s making up stories again .
Bo : Yeah , well , there is a box .
Hope : Yeah , there s a box , but I do nt know how it got there , and it s empty , obviously .
Bo : She was so adamant that you were hiding some kind of treasure . Where would she come up with a story like that ?
Hope : I do nt know . But between the lying and stealing ... Bo , I do nt know what s happening to our daughter .
Bo : Yeah , neither do I. But together , you know , we ll work this out . Hey , you ve been under a lot of stress .
Hope : Please do nt do that .
Bo : Do what ?
Hope : I know that you mean well . But I ca nt stand to hear the concern in your voice . Especially when it s directed to me .
Bo : Hope , I care about you .
Hope : Please , okay , see ? That s exactly what I do nt want to hear . We re not together anymore . You ... you re with someone else now , and when you say things like that , it s just -- it s painful for me .
Bo : Sorry .
Hope : So let s just keep the conversation focused on our daughter . She s the one that needs help , okay ?
Ciara : These are my secrets now .
Chloe : I m not worried about Carly .
Vivian : Oh , I would nt want to handle that witch alone . And your relationship is at risk , is nt it ?
Chloe : Daniel and I will be just fine . I m sure of it . Now excuse me .
Vivian : No , you re not . You re scared to death . Thank God for that .
Maggie : Victor , I miss Mickey .
Victor : Of course you do .
Maggie : It s , uh , more than that . I just -- I really do nt know how to explain it .
Victor : Try me .
EJ : Should I come back later ?
Arianna : No , we re done here .
EJ : Good . So I managed to pull a few strings , and I got your arraignment moved up in court in about two hours .
Arianna : Oh . Wow , um , are you prepared with your arguments on such short notice ?
EJ : I m completely prepared . Are you ?
Arianna : Sure . Yeah . Um , I just need something presentable to wear .
Brady : I ll go to your place . I ll pick up some clothes for you .
Arianna : Gabi can do it , Brady .
Brady : I can do it , Arianna . If I did nt make it clear to you , I m not giving up on you .
EJ : Mm . You okay ?
Arianna : Can you tell me what my chances are ? Am I gon na get out on bail ?
EJ : I m optimistic . Now , your priors are certainly gon na count against you . And the evidence is pretty convincing , circumstantial though it is .
Arianna : I know it looks bad , but I m telling you I did not--
EJ : Hey , listen to me . You do nt have to convince me , okay ? I know you re innocent .
Arianna : It s just -- it s just that , you know , my hair and the fingerprints , it s very convenient , you know , that it was all found at the crime scene . It s like I ve been set up , right ?
EJ : Yeah , that s certainly something we should think about , but not right now . For the time being , think it d be best if you clear your mind of that idea . We should focus on something else .
Arianna : Okay , like what ?
EJ : Look , I ve thought of another approach , something that may get you released immediately . And I m not talking about just on bail , I m talking for good .
Richard : Look , do nt worry about my partner . She s -- she s a pro .
Nicole : Who is she ?
Richard : I m telling you , it does nt matter . Let me worry about her , all right ? You just stick to your end of the plan .
Nicole : I swear , Dick , you screw this up ...
Richard : We re both in big trouble . I know . Okay , listen , I better split before somebody sees us together .
Nicole : Yeah . That s the first smart thing you ve said all night . I ll keep in touch .
Richard : Uh - huh .
Nicole : Hey , Chloe , what are you doing out here ?
Chloe : Hey , uh , just needed some air .
Nicole : Well , what s wrong , honey ?
Chloe : Everything .
Nicole : Could you be a little more specific ?
Chloe : I think I m gon na lose Daniel .
Daniel : You really need to get this . For the first time since I lost Rebecca , I do nt hurt anymore . I do nt . And for years I was bitter and alone . And I ll tell you what , I got to be honest with you . I did nt really care . Now , that woman , Chloe , has changed all that . She s made me realize that it is possible to feel again , to love again . Do you understand me ? I love Chloe .
Carly : Daniel , I do understand . That s what it s so hard to tell you what I m about to .
Nicole : Wait , Chloe , um , what s going on ?
Chloe : I did something really , really terrible .
Nicole : Chloe , nothing you could do will ever be as bad as what I ve done . That s one of the benefits of being friends with me . I can never judge you . Well , and if I do , you can always tell me to shut up .
Chloe : It s not that I do nt trust you , Nicole . It s just that ... it hurts too much to talk about it , and ... when my secret comes out , it s over . Daniel will never forgive me .
Nicole : Chloe , look , you re getting married any day now , and once you lock Daniel down in front of the priest and in front of God ... he s not the kind of guy that s about to un - marry you .
Chloe : I guess getting married would solidify things , but my secret could still come out at any time .
Nicole : Then do nt wait . Make this marriage happen right now .
Carly : Daniel , the reason I m concerned is ...
Daniel : You know what ? I got to go .
Carly : Go . I ll wait .
Daniel : No , do nt bother , cause after this , I am going straight home to tell Chloe the good news about tomorrow .
Carly : Oh , come on , listen to me .
Daniel : And I know you think I m in denial about her issues , but I m not .
Carly : I do nt think that . I just--
Daniel : And I know you are trying to help me , but you re not . You re not . Now , I am going to marry Chloe tomorrow . End of discussion .
Sami : I did nt say Arianna is guilty .
Gabi : No , but that s what you think .
Sami : Gabi--
Gabi : And once Rafe finds out you refused to help his family , he will never forgive you , and it ll be about time he realized what kind of person you really are .
EJ : Okay . These are the dates and times of all of the other assaults . Now , if we can find an alibi for you for just one of these , that would help your case enormously .
Arianna : I mean , I , like , do nt even know what I did yesterday , okay ? I -- I dont -- I do nt keep a diary or anything .
EJ : Think . Look , if you can find an alibi for one of these , we could get you out on bail . We could maybe get these charges dropped altogether .
Arianna : You know , do nt even -- dont even get your hopes up cause , um ... I got it .
Bo : Ciara s supposed to have that sleepover at Mackenzie s , but if it s okay with her , I m gon na have her come home with me , you know , so we can have some time together .
Hope : Okay . Yeah , that , um ... that s a good idea .
Bo : You gon na be okay ?
Hope : Yeah , I m just -- I m just tired . I just ... probably gon na turn in early tonight .
Bo : Still reading that ? Thought you finished it a long time ago .
Hope : Yeah , I know . Can you believe it ? I think I ve reread the same page for the last ten minutes . Horrendously boring , but I m determined to finish it . One of the great books , they say . Whoever they are .
Bo : Stubborn as ever . Nice to see some things have nt changed .
Ciara : I m ready .
Hope : All right , sweetheart . You have everything you need ?
Ciara : Yep , it s all right here .
Chloe : What do you want now ?
Carly : Daniel spoke to Father Matt . You two are getting married tomorrow .
Chloe : What ?
Carly : I know you ve thought long and hard about how you re gon na tell Daniel the truth , but you re running out of time . Chloe , you have to talk to him . Tonight .
Chloe : How is it that you know my wedding date before I do ?
Carly : I ran into Daniel at the hospital , and he told me . He was so happy , Chloe .
Chloe : Oh , yeah , and you hate that , so you just have to ruin it .
Carly : No , look , I pray the two of you work this out .
Chloe : Oh , give me a break . You do nt pray . Why do nt you just give this up , Carly ? You said you would .
Carly : I wish I could . I tried to tell myself this was none of my business , and then I talked to Kate , and--
Chloe : Oh , what ? What ? She said that I m a slut , or that I m crazy ?
Carly : No , stop putting words in my mouth .
Chloe : I ca nt stand you .
Carly : I do nt blame you . But I m not here to win friends . I really hope you understand I have your best interest at heart . And Daniel s .
Chloe : Will you please just go to hell ?
Carly : This is the last time I ll say it .
Chloe : Thank God .
Carly : Please tell him . He loves you . And he ll be devastated at first , but in the end , maybe he ll forgive you . I truly hope he does .
Chloe : Yeah , right .
Carly : I do . But he needs to be given that choice . Because if you do nt , I will .
Chloe : Oh , my God . Nicole s right . I know what I have to do .
Hope : You have fun with your dad , okay , sweetheart ?
Ciara : Good night .
Hope : Good night , my love . I love you , baby . You have a wonderful , wonderful time . Sleep well .
Bo : Call you tomorrow .
Hope : Okay .
Maggie : Well , during the reception , I kept looking around the room , and it hit me . This had already been the second wedding I had been to since Mickey died . Life just keeps plugging along . More time that passes , the more often that I think , Do I still remember ? The sound of his voice , or the touch of his hand in mine .
Victor : No one s ever gon na forget Mickey .
Maggie : And then I look at Ciara and how fast she s growing up , and I wonder if she s ever gon na remember her Uncle Mickey in a few years . I mean , not just the way he looked , but all the wonderful things that he had accomplished , and ... the lives . How many he had touched .
Victor : You know , when Isabella died , I had the same problem . She was so young . She had touched so many people . I could nt help but think how much more she could have done .
Maggie : I remember . You started the Toscano Foundation in her name , and Bella magazine . Oh , you did her proud , Victor .
Victor : Well , thank you . I hope so .
Victor : Excuse me .
Maggie : Ah .
Victor : What ?
Vivian : Victor , where the hell are you ?
Nicole : Brady . You re back .
Brady : Yeah . I m , uh , look , I m headed to the pub , cause I got to pick up some stuff for Arianna .
Nicole : How did your visit go ?
Brady : It went great . Went fine . Look , I got to go , okay ?
Nicole : Wait , Brady , wait . Come on . You re upset . I can tell .
Brady : Yeah , I m upset . My fiancée s in jail , and things are nt good .
Nicole : You ca nt lie to me . Do nt even try .
Brady : All right , I wo nt lie to you . Things are very rough with Ari and I , okay ?
Nicole : Well , I would nt take that too much to heart .
Brady : Really ? Why would you say something like that ?
Nicole : Because , I ve seen you two , and because Arianna s not an idiot . She could nt possibly be angry with you . I mean , she s -- she s scared and she s afraid , but she loves you . And no matter what happens , Arianna will come back to you . She always does .
Arianna : The night that Justin was attacked , there s no way that I could have done it .
EJ : Why ? What were you doing ?
Arianna : Um , it was the day after Brady and I got back from Santo Domingo . It was the day after we were supposed to be married .
EJ : Yeah ?
Arianna : Okay , um , Brady wrote this check to Nicole . He was trying to get her to leave town .
EJ : Uh - huh . Yeah , good luck there .
Arianna : Yeah , exactly . Right . So I actually took the check , and I gave it to Nicole . That same night , I tracked her down at Java . So according to this-- this timeline here , there s no way I attacked Justin . I was with Nicole .
EJ : That s odd .
Arianna : You do nt believe me .
EJ : No , no , no . No , sorry , no , I do believe you .
Arianna : [ Sighs ]
EJ : But based on what you ve just told me , Nicole could have come to your rescue at any time . But she did nt . I mean , despite all of her pleas on television . That means either she does nt remember , or she does remember and she did nt do it .
Arianna : It s really refreshing to talk to someone who is nt blinded by Nicole s good intentions .
EJ : Yes , believe me , I ve long been cured of that unfortunate affliction .
Arianna : Well , that being said , I have to give her the benefit of the doubt here . I mean , even I did nt put this together until now , so I do nt know why she would have .
EJ : Hmm ? Yeah , no , I suppose .
Arianna : Wait , where -- where are you going ?
EJ : Fact - checking mission . Do nt worry . I ll be back before your arraignment .
Arianna : Okay . Uh , wait . Just before you go , I ... I just wanted you to know that ... this is , like , the first moment I have hope since they brought me in here , so I just -- thank you . I do nt know how I can possibly thank you .
EJ : Back in a bit .
Arianna : Okay .
Brady : Well , I wish I could be as sure as you are .
Nicole : Brady , wait . Come on . Hey . Look . Ari knows how lucky she is to have you . She would nt give up on that kind of love . Not without a fight .
Brady : Thank you . It ca nt be easy for you to say something like that .
Nicole : No , it s not easy . Mostly because I m the one who was an idiot , and you ... you loved me , and I let you slip away .
Brady : Nicole , dont--
Nicole : And I now made you feel really uncomfortable , and I should have stopped while I was ahead . I m sorry .
Brady : You do make me smile . I should go .
Nicole : Hey , Brady , um , you know , I ll be at the Cheatin Heart later if you just need a little pep talk , or anything .
Brady : I ll see you .
Nicole : Please let Ari be stupid and stubborn for just a little while longer . Just long enough for her to be sent away to the big house . For good .
Victor : Vivian , hold it . I ll take this outside .
Maggie : Uh , no , no . You stay here . I ll go check my email .
Victor : Vivian ?
Vivian : Victor , where are you ?
Victor : I m at Maggie Horton s .
Vivian : Oh , what are you doing there ? Come back . It s our wedding night . I want -- I demand you come home now .
Victor : You demand nothing . After your behavior today , you re lucky I do nt take that bridal veil of yours and strangle you with it .
Vivian : You -- you ca nt mean that .
Victor : No ? Do nt tempt me .
Vivian : Victor , I -- I thought we could--
Victor : Good night , Vivian .
Vivian : Victor -- Victor , do nt hang up . Victor ! Damn you !
Daniel : Where s my honey ? There you are .
Chloe : Hey .
Daniel : Hey . I have got the best surprise . These are for you .
Chloe : Oh , thank you .
Daniel : But that s not it .
Chloe : Well , what is it ?
Daniel : I talked to Father Matt , and he can marry us tomorrow .
Chloe : Oh , my gosh . That s incredible .
Daniel : Yeah ?
Chloe : Yeah .
Daniel : Come here . Okay , wait . Why , is it too soon ?
Chloe : No , no , no , it s perfect . Although ...
Daniel : Oh , no .
Chloe : Well , I ve had some time to think , and you re not on duty tonight , and how often does that happen ? And I did nt know when Father Matt would be available , so I made some calls , and I found the most wonderfully romantic place ever in Brookeville , and they do the flowers . They do the cake . They do the champagne . They do everything . Even the wedding night . So what do you say ? We can become husband and wife tonight .
Daniel : Get out .
Sami : Hey . Uh , Rafe , it s Sami . Um , obviously you re not checking your messages , but look . I really think you need to get in touch , because , um , your sister , Arianna , she s in trouble , and she needs you . And I ... anyway , I m hoping you ll call . Uh , talk soon .
Chloe : Is nt that a great idea ? Nice surprise ?
Daniel : It is a surpri -- it s amazing . It is . But I know how much you want Father Matt to marry us .
Chloe : Yeah , but it does nt matter .
Daniel : And I want Melanie to be there . I mean , she and Philip are family now . So , I mean , it s great , but what ? What is this about ?
Chloe : Nothing . I m just -- I m really excited to get married . That s all .
Daniel : You are . You re glowing . And so am I. So am I. But you and Father Matt have been through so much , and now he s available , so what -- what s one more day to wait ?
Chloe : You re right . It s great . It s a great idea .
Daniel : All right . I m gon na go tell Melanie in person , okay ?
Chloe : Okay .
Daniel : You okay ?
Chloe : Yeah , I m fine . Promise .
Daniel : Okay . I love you .
Chloe : Mm . Love you too .
Daniel : All right . Ugh . Get me out of here .
Chloe : [ Laughs ]
Carly : Hey , you too . Welcome back .
Bo : Thank you . Come here . Manners , little girl .
Ciara : Hi , Carly .
Bo : Sorry .
Carly : No , do nt be .
Bo : How did things go with your errand ?
Carly : Oh , you know , we can talk about that later . I m more concerned about Ciara . What happened after I left ?
Bo : Had a little talk with Hope . Apparently my daughter s been acting out a bit more than I knew , and it s taking its toll on her mom .
Carly : I m sorry to hear that .
Bo : Yeah , me too . But tonight we ve got some time to bond with my daughter , and Hope can relax and have some peace and quiet .
Sami : Oh , hey . I m glad I caught you .
Arianna : Oh , well , if you had nt , you d know where to find me . Um , so what are you doing here ?
Sami : I came here to check on you . I just wanted to know if there was anything I could do .
Arianna : Thank you . Um , but , uh , someone s been looking out for me , so with any luck , I should get out of here tonight .
Nicole : Come on , Brady . Do nt leave me hanging . I am so glad you ...
Nicole : ... Came .
Victor : So what do you think ?
Maggie : Oh , I think it s a wonderful idea , Victor . Mickey would be so honored to have a scholarship established in his name . Working with law students and mentoring and teaching and ... oh , my . Those were some of his favorite things .
Victor : Well , of course , we ve got a lot of details to work out .
Maggie : Well , they can wait . I think I ve kept you long enough tonight .
Victor : Oh , come on . One more round of coffee . This is the most fun I ve had all day .
Chloe : I do nt want to lose you , Daniel . I have to find a way to stop Carly . I know that Vivian wants to do something awful , but ... oh , God , what am I gon na do ?
Bo : I am gon na call Ma , tell her what happened with Victor today , and , well , I ve just been putting it off a little too long .
Carly : Good luck with that .
Bo : Thank you .
Carly : Hey , Ciara . Um , your dad said that you were gon na pack some of your favorite stories . Why do nt I read you one before bedtime , huh ? What you got in there ?
Ciara : Leave them alone . They re my secrets .
Hope : Up for some fun tonight ?
Richard : What kind of fun ?
Hope : The best kind , of course .
Richard : I m surprised to hear from you . You kind of disappeared on me .
Hope : Then let s make up for lost time . I m ready to do some serious damage , and I know just the place to go .
Arianna : So now that I have a good lawyer , hopefully it wo nt be too much longer before I get out of here .
Sami : I m so glad Brady was able to help you .
Arianna : Actually , Brady s not too happy about this .
Sami : Why ? Who s your lawyer ?
Arianna : EJ did nt tell you . He s representing me now .
Nicole : Do you mind moving ? You re in my way . I ca nt see the television with your big head .
EJ : Sure . I just have one quick question for you , though , before I go .
Nicole : [ Sighs ] What ?
EJ : Well , I know what you did to Arianna . What I do nt know is why .
Vivian : If we work together , we can stop Carly from ruining your happiness .
Daniel : We are getting married tomorrow .
Melanie : No .
EJ : And I think you are going back to prison .

Abigail : [ Exhales ] I just -- I thought that tonight was about the two of us just going out and having fun as friends , right ?
Chad : Um , actually , I m the one who s sorry .
Abigail : Why ?
Chad : [ Sighs ] Well , because I know what we said , but the truth is when I asked you to ride the wild tiger with me tonight , I never wanted to be just friends .
Will : Well , is she hungry ?
Gabi : No , I just fed her ten minutes ago , but where is her blankie ?
Sonny : I do nt know where the blankie is . Maybe it got tossed in the laundry when we were unpacking . We can look in there .

Marlena : I see that . I just do nt know why he s not answering his cell phone .
Annabel : He probably turned his phone off to concentrate . Prepare for tomorrow s big meeting .

Annabel : As always .
Marlena : Yeah . I just hope he finds some time to relax .

Will : Yeah , everything s great . Just looking for Arianna s blanket because we must have lost it during the unpacking and the moving .

Will : Oh , great .
Nick : Yeah .
Sonny : Nick ?
Nick : Oh , hey . Hey , Sonny . Yeah , it s like a -- well , babies ca nt see color for the first three months of their life , and they find the high - contrast shapes captivating . That s what I read , anyway .
Sonny : Right now , we re happy to try anything , so thank you so much .

Sonny : All that ? Okay . Thank you .
Will : You re up .
Nick : Okay .
Will : Oh , my God . That sounds like it worked .
Nick : Nah , she probably just got worn out .
Will : No , come in . Come on . Come on . Come on .
Nick : Oh , okay .
Will : I m guessing that you re here to see Gabi , so--
Nick : No , actually ... I came to talk to you .
Abigail : Chad , what are you-- you know that Cameron and I are--
Chad : Yes , I know all about you and Cameron . And I think he s a wonderful guy . But I do nt think he s the right guy for you .
Kristen : [ Grunts ] Aller ! Oh !
Chip : What s the problem here , George ?
Kristen : There is no problem .
Chip : Really ? What s in the bag , maam ?
Nicole : Eric . Eric , come on , baby . You have to sit up .
Eric : [ Groans ]
Nicole : Come on . Up , up , up . Come on , you cant-- oh , my God . Come on , baby . You have to get up .
Eric : [ Shivers ]
Nicole : Eric , you re burning up . You re burning up . I m gon na get you a wet washcloth . I ll be right back .
Eric : [ Shivers ] Oh this is soft .
Daniel : Yeah . Oh , ye -- no , thank you . Yeah . Appreciate it .
Daniel : Hey .
Jennifer : Hey . If I m interrupting , I can come back .
Daniel : You know what ? No . No , you re not .
Jennifer : I found this after we were-- and I did nt know if you wanted it back or if what you said about wanting a do - over was true , so-- I m not meaning to put you on the spot . I need you to trust me , Daniel .
Daniel : Trust you ?
Jennifer : Yeah . I really do because I know what it looked like when you caught JJ with Cameron s prescription pad . Okay , I just wish I felt like you trusted me to handle my son in my own way . Can you do that , please ?
Nick : Uh ... [Clears throat ] I m here because I still owe you an apology .
Will : Oh . No , you do nt .
Nick : Yeah .
Will : No . I mean , you brought me my baby girl . And you put her in my arms for the first time , and that is something that I will never forget . I did-- when I heard what Jensen did to you in prison , I-- maybe you did nt want to let on how much it really affected you . And that is the reason that things got messed up between us . But I just want you to know that I completely understand . And I m -- I m very sorry .
Nick : If I was half as good of a person as you are , none of this would have happened no matter what I had to deal with in prison .
Will : No . I do nt know about that .
Nick : I do . I also know that Arianna is going to have one hell of a father .
Gabi : Nick . I wanted to say , um-- is everything okay ?
Chad : I had a really good time with you tonight . Did nt you ?
Abigail : Yes , but--
Chad : Okay , but when I asked you out , you had plenty of chances to say no . And hey , when Cameron asked you out , you turned him down , so you would nt have to cancel our plans .
Abigail : Wa -- it s not like I was choosing you over him .
Chad : Right , it was all about the coasters . [ Exhales ]
Abigail : Right now I feel like I m still on one .
Chad : Look , Abigail , I m -- [ Sighs ] I m sorry , okay ? About everything . And I know I was so angry with Gabi that I let it get in the way of everything . I tried to give you space , and I tried to get over you , but I ca nt get you out of my head , Abigail . And I m not giving up on you without a fight .
Nicole : Hey . I m here , Eric . I m here for you now , okay ? Oh , you have to be okay . I need you . I m gon na get you some help right now .
Eric : Nicole .
Nicole : Oh . Hey .
Kristen : Whoa . So suspicious ? I have a bag in hotel . You want to see my lingerie , you just have to ask me , hmm ?
Chip : Okay , but I mean--
Kristen : Maybe I call your chief , huh ? What you think ? I call your chief . Oh , my good friend , the governor , hmm ?
Chip : What s your complaint , George ?
George : This freeloader never checked in , and yet she has a key . Now she s trying to waltz out of here like nothing every happened . No . No , she is a thief . I want her arrested . Ok , I am coming .
Kristen : Please . This is ridiculous . I checked in . If I was a freeloader , I mean , would nt I stay one night ?
Chip : Well , it s quite common when someone s engaged in a certain profession .
Kristen : Oh ! So you think I m a hooker ?
George : You know , I think you re on to something , chip . She s determined to get into one particular room . When I said it was nt available , it looks like she took matters into her own hands .
Kristen : I will pay for the room again ! If that s what it takes . Please .
George : No , it s took late . I m pressing charges . I want to know what you re really doing here .
Nicole : Yes , Eric . It s me , it s Nicole .
Eric : Why are you here ?
Nicole : Well , you -- you left your notes . And I came here , and I found you like this . Can you -- can you tell me what hurts ? Oh . Okay . Look , I m gon na get you a doctor . I m gon na get you a doctor . Here , look . Put your head here . Okay . Lean back , lean back .
Eric : [ Shivers ]
Nicole : Oh , baby , lean back . Oh , where s my phone ? Oh . I forgot these do nt work . Baby , listen . I do nt want to leave you , but I m gon na go downstairs . I m gon na get you the help that you need , okay ? I ll be right back . I ll be right back .
Eric : [ Shivers ]
Chip : Come on , lady . Let s do this .
Martha : What s going on ?
Kristen : You checked me in . Now they think I stole the key .
Martha : Oh , I m sorry . There has been a terrible misunderstanding . We ve been so busy dealing with the phone outage , I guess I never finished filling out the paperwork .
Kristen : What did I say , huh ?
George : Um , I m sorry , maam .
Kristen : Well , you are stupid . I m calling my attorney .
George : Great .
Nicole : Please , I need your help .
Jennifer : You ca nt even answer me , can you ?
Daniel : Do I trust you ? Always . But do I think you have blinders on when it comes to your son ? That right there , that is a different question .
Jennifer : Really ? Is it ?
Daniel : Yeah , he s your son . You re going to love him and support him no matter what .
Jennifer : And you think he s lying . And you think I m wrong to believe him . But what makes you so sure ? Maybe you re too quick not to trust him . You know , sometimes I feel like you are just sitting there waiting for him to screw up , so you can say , I told you so .
Daniel : What , you really think that s what s going on ? You think I m just wait--
Marlena : I m sorry . Excuse me . Do you have a moment ?
Jennifer : Yes , yeah .
Marlena : Please , I m so sorry to interrupt .
Jennifer : No , no . Please . It s fine . I was -- I was just leaving . Excuse me .
Marlena : My apologies . Is she okay ?
Nick : I just came by to bring that for the baby . Sorry , I should get going .
Gabi : Nick , hold on . I m -- I spoke to Kate . She told me .
Nick : I was fired .
Gabi : I m sorry .
Nick : It s probably for the best .
Sonny : Hey , Nick . Arianna s finally sleeping , so thank you .
Nick : Yeah .
Sonny : If you want to get some fresh air and take a walk , will and I got this covered .
Gabi : Thanks .
Nick : See ya .
Will : See ya .
Sonny : Aww .
Will : That was so nice of you .
Sonny : I just figured they could use some alone time . And they were nt the only ones .
Will : Hmm .
Abigail : Chad ... I did nt see any of this coming .
Chad : Really ? It seems to me that life keeps throwing us together . And now that you ve seen that video ...
Abigail : We re keeping secrets from the police about a murder investigation . Yeah , that gives us a really special bond .
Chad : I m sorry that you re in the middle of this . You re not having second thoughts , are you ?
Abigail : No .
Chad : [ Exhales ] Okay , I know you want to do the right thing . And I admire that you stick to your beliefs .
Abigail : Okay , if this is gon na turn into a conversation about the virgin thing , then--
Chad : Why -- why are you blushing right now ?
Abigail : I m not .
Chad : You re very cute when you blush , by the way . I m serious . There it is again . I see it . [ Laughs ] Look , it s special that you want to save yourself for the right guy . And I do nt know if that s me , but--
Abigail : No , I do nt know . I do nt know about any of this .
Chad : I did nt mean to dump this all on you . I just felt like there was something special that happened between us tonight , and--
Abigail : I need to go .
Chad : Wait , let me drive you home at least .
Abigail : No , I m fine .
Chad : Here , hold on . You forgot this . Take this .
Abigail : Thanks .
Chad : You re welcome .
Nicole : He needs a doctor , and I ca nt call out .
Chip : I ll radio for an ambulance .
Nicole : Okay .
George : He did nt look sick at all when he checked in .
Nicole : Hey . Hey , we re gon na take you to a hospital , and you are going to get the best care . Right ?
George : Right .
Nicole : What is your problem ?
George : Well , I guess you ve never been to county general . Last time I was there , I waited eight hours in the E.R.
Nicole : Is this the state capitol or Mayberry ? Look , we re getting him to a doctor , and we re gon na get him the best care no matter what I have to do to make that happen .
Chad : Hey .
Sonny : Hey .
Chad : Hi , what s up , man ?
Will : [ Laughs ] Hey .
Chad : Kate told me you got out of the hospital .
Will : Yeah .
Chad : Brought the baby home . That s a big day .
Will : Yep .
Chad : Yeah . Wow , you look like you re feeling better , so that s a good thing .
Will : I am , yeah .
Chad : Yeah . Is the baby sleeping right now or she--
Sonny : Yeah . I m guessing you did nt come over to offer to change some diapers ?
Chad : No . Actually , I just came by to see how will s doing .
Will : Okay . And ?
Chad : Okay . I guess I kind of came over here to talk about Abigail .
Jennifer : I know that you re trying to help me , but you and JJ are a really bad combination right now .
Daniel : Jennifer , listen . This is not about me and JJ . Your son , you know what he was going to do ?
Jennifer : I understand that , and I know that you think that I m so easy on him . But you know what ? Honestly , I do nt think this is your call to make .
Jennifer : Abigail ?
Abigail : Hey , mom .
Jennifer : Hey , honey . Everything okay ?
Abigail : Yeah .
Jennifer : You do nt look okay . No , I mean , you do nt have to talk about it if you do nt want to .
Abigail : I would nt even know how to put it into words , mom .
Jennifer : Do you want to try ?
Abigail : Okay , um-- I am a complete and total screw - up .
Nick : Maybe we should sit .
Gabi : It s okay . I m feeling good now .
Nick : You look great . I m sorry you felt like you and Arianna had nowhere to go , that you had to move in with will and Sonny .
Gabi : It s okay . I mean , we re all getting along really well . And Sonny -- he delivered my baby . Everything s good between us .
Nick : Right .
Gabi : Are you sending out resumes ?
Nick : Yeah . I m -- it s the plan for tomorrow .
Gabi : You should send one to Sami . You know , she really wanted to hire you before .
Nick : Listen to us , Gabi . We re married , but from the way we re talking , we could be strangers .
Gabi : Well , maybe that s because ... we are .
Daniel : Wow , this is a great pickup . I ll arrange for a head ct for Mrs. Senter first thing in the morning .
Marlena : Thank you so much . And please be good enough to send a copy to Dr. Holcombe . She s covering some of my patients while I m spending time with Sami .
Daniel : Yeah , of course . Yeah . And if there s anything you need from me , please do nt hesitate to ask .
Marlena : Thanks . I will . Just this whole situation with john and Brady and now Eric being out of town , I feel like I m pulled in so many directions , I cant--
Daniel : Eric ? Eric is out of town now ?
Marlena : Yes . He had to go see the governor about getting the permits to open the new school at St. Luke s . He thinks if he does nt get that done , he will be transferred out of Salem .
Daniel : I m sorry to hear that . I hope everything works out .
Marlena : So do I. I d be lost without him .
Daniel : Yeah .
Daniel : Oops , excuse me .
Marlena : Sure .
Daniel : Hello ?
Nicole : Daniel , it s Nicole . Are you at the hospital ?
Daniel : Yeah . Why ?
Nicole : Oh , thank God . I m in an ambulance with Eric , and I asked the paramedics to take him to Salem . He s really sick . Please , you have to help him .
Kristen : [ Humming ] No rest for the wicked .
Sonny : Abigail did nt change her mind about keeping quiet about the video , did she ?
Chad : No . No , no , no , no . This has nothing to do with that .
Will : Great . Then what s the matter ?
Chad : [ Sighs ] I , uh , kind of did something crazy tonight . Is it okay if I--
Will : Yeah , sure .
Chad : I , uh , I got these V.I.P. Passes to the whoopee world opening , and I asked Abigail to come with me .
Will : Okay .
Chad : Well , we had this very clear understanding that it was nt a date . At least that s what she thought . Thank you .
Sonny : Wait , she s seeing Cameron .
Chad : I know , I know , I know . And I do nt like dogging him , but I am telling you , it is not over between us .
Will : How can you tell ?
Chad : I can just tell , that s all . Look , I just wanted one more chance with her . I mean , what if Cameron s not the right guy for her ? And what if deep down , she thinks it too ?
Abigail : Cameron and I have been getting closer and I told him that I was ready to--
Jennifer : Right . But you were nt ready ?
Abigail : No .
Jennifer : And that s okay .
Abigail : No , it s not okay , mom . I mean , how many other virgins do you know that are my age ?
Jennifer : Well , I was at your age .
Abigail : Yeah , but , mom , that was so long ago . Sorry , you know what I mean . It s just-- I went out with Chad tonight , and it was supposed to be , you know , just friends . And I think somewhere deep down , I knew that he wanted more from me . And I still said yes . And you know what the worst part about it is , mom ? I actually had a really great time .
Jennifer : Okay . Well , maybe you did tonight . But you need to stay away from him . He is bad news .
Abigail : [ Scoffs ]
Eric : This is wrong .
Kristen : No , it s not . It s right . Can you feel how right it is ? No . That will never do . Nope .
Kristen : Harold ! Harold !
Kristen : Really ? Do you ever work , Harold ? Honestly . Dr. Chyka .
Dr. Chyka : I just wanted to check in . I hope my formulations were of use .
Kristen : Yeah . Definitely .
Marlena : What did she say ? What did--
Daniel : All right , what do we got ? What do we got ? Patient is unresponsive . Pulse is 110 and thready . Temp is 105 .
Marlena : 105 ? Oh , Eric .
Daniel : Hey , what happened ?
Nicole : I do nt know . I found him like this in the hotel . And he woke up , and he recognized me , but only for a second . Please tell me he s gon na be okay .
Daniel : Well , first thing we got ta do is get his temperature down . Then we ll figure out what s causing it . E.R. S swamped . Let s get him in here . Yes , sir .
Daniel : Straight ahead . Nurse , get the door . Straight ahead . Right in that room . Here we go .
Nicole : Oh , my God . Oh , my God .
Marlena : Roman !
Roman : Marlena ! I got your message .
Marlena : Daniel s got him right now . We do nt know what happened .
Roman : What s wrong with him ?
Marlena : We do nt know yet . Daniel s -- Daniel s with him , but Nicole said that she found him in his hotel room . He was delirious , he was fev-- sister Annabel said he was fine when he left . He was alone . What the hell were you doing there ?
Nick : It s my fault , Gabi . I made a thousand promises about our future and our life together . I want you to know that I meant every single one of them then .
Gabi : I do know . I do . But you were lying to yourself , Nick .
Nick : Yeah . I guess I just-- I tried so hard to pretend that what happened to me in prison was nt driving every single thing that I did . You know , I thought somehow , that if I had the perfect family -- the beautiful wife and the beautiful baby , that it would just-- it all would just go away . I know it might feel like I just latched onto the first girl that came along , but , Gabi ... you re so special . I m always going to care about you . Always . And I hope ... that even though-- even though we ve been through so much that ... we could still be friends .
Gabi : I care about you , Nick . I mean , you know that . And I want you to get the help that you need . But what I need -- what I need is to take care of my brother when he gets out of the hospital and be the best mom that I can be . I have a chance finally to get things right . And I do nt want to do anything else that could screw that up .
Nick : I think you made the right decision ... [ Sniffles ] Moving in with will and Sonny . They re good guys . A hell of a lot better than me .
Gabi : I need to go . Please take care of yourself .
Nick : [ Sniffles ]
Abigail : Mom , when dad flipped out because I started to see Chad , you are the one that told him to relax .
Jennifer : Yes , but that was before he did what he did at Gabi s wedding , honey .
Abigail : Mom , everyone makes mistakes . I ve made plenty .
Jennifer : Absolutely . That was more than a mistake . And besides , you just told me that you re feeling really close to Cameron .
Abigail : I am . And I do . Sometimes . If I were so sure that he was the right one , why would I keep thinking about Chad ? Oh , this is-- I do nt know what s wrong with me .
Jennifer : Honey , there s nothing wrong with you . It s just a confusing time right now . It s okay .
Abigail : You have no idea .
Jennifer : What ? No idea about what , honey ?
Abigail : Nothing . Nothing .
Jennifer : Abigail , please .
Abigail : No , mom , seriously forget it . I m fine . I just need to be alone , okay ?
Jennifer : Okay .
Will : Correct me if I m wrong , but did nt you and Abigail break up after the wedding thing ?
Chad : Yeah , that would be correct .
Will : Yeah . Well , listen . I mean , we all make mistakes , and if I m over what you did , I m sure Abigail s over what you did , you know . And if you had nt done it , then I would nt be a father to my little girl . So in a really convoluted way , I mean , you did me a favor .
Chad : Wow . Thanks for saying that , man . Well , I ll let you get back to whatever I interrupted . I ll see you guys later , all right ?
Sonny : All right , see you later .
Will : Where were we ?
Sonny : I think we were right here .
Nicole : Marlena , I was there because I found Eric s notes back at the church . The ones he needed for the meeting about the school . I knew how important they were to him , so I tracked him down and-- you know , God , I just pray that he s gon na be okay .
Roman : Yeah , we re all doing that .
Marlena : I m so sorry .
Roman : Why did nt the paramedics take him to the closest hospital ?
Nicole : Because I wanted him to get the best care possible , so I insisted that they bring him here , and Daniel s gon na help him . He has to .
Daniel : Well , that s strange . Maybe it s viral ?
Daniel : No . I m not so sure .
Kristen : Would you like a drink ?
Chyka : I hope I m not interrupting .
Kristen : No . Just making a little something to remember the night by . Because God knows that nobody else is gon na remember , right ?
Daniel : I m gon na start a broad spectrum antibiotic while we wait for his cultures . Okay . And if his condition changes at all , you come to me ... Of course .
Daniel : Right away , all right ? Okay .
Will : Hey . Everything okay ?
Gabi : Yeah , everything s great . Is Ari still sleeping ?
Sonny : Yep .
Gabi : Long nap . Great . You know what that means .
Will : She s gon na wake up and she s never gon na go to sleep again .
Gabi : Well , I would nt say never , but she is gon na wake up every two hours . She s gon na be hungry , cranky . She s gon na be crying her little head off .
Sonny : Was nt she down for , like , five hours the other night ?
Gabi : Well , yeah , that was-- that was a fluke . That was a one - time thing . She s not even a month old . You really expect her to , you know , sleep the whole night through ?
Will : No , of course not . My mom said I did nt leave her alone for more than three hours till I was one .
Gabi : Yeah , I was like that too , and I hope it s not hereditary because if it is , we are in trouble . I m gon na go try to nap for a bit while I can , okay ?
Sonny : Get over here .
Will : Ah ! Ow . So how old were you when you slept through the night , Mister ?
Sonny : Well , I was the perfect baby apparently . I slept through the night as soon as I got home from the hospital . Rarely cried . And you know , when I was six months old , I was speaking in full sentences . [ Laughs ] And then I bowled people over with my highly refined sense of humor ...
Will : Oh , shut up .
Sonny : Before I could even walk , can you believe that ?
Will : Please , you were-- I m sure you were a little nightmare .
Sonny : I was . Yeah , my mom said that she did nt sleep or even rest for , like , the first two years .
Will : Two years ?
Sonny : Two years .
Will : You expect three - week- old Ari to sleep through the night ?
Sonny : A boy can hope , ca nt he ?
Will : I m gon na go sing to her .
Kristen : Are you all right ?
Chyka : I have to admit this is not simply a courtesy call . There s something you need to know about the drug s aftereffects .
Kristen : You mean the fever and the chills ? Those aftereffects ?
Marlena : Daniel .
Roman : How is he ?
Daniel : Well , heart rate s back to normal and the fever s broken , yeah .
Marlena : So quickly ?
Daniel : He was very dehydrated , so we pumped him full of fluids , and he seems to be responding very well .
Marlena : [ Sighs ]
Roman : So then he s gon na be okay .
Daniel : Yeah . It looks that way .
Marlena : I assume you d like him to stay a couple days ?
Daniel : Well , actually I m not sure that ll be necessary if he continues to improve at this rate . And I know that sounds surprising considering the state that he was in when he came here , but--
Nicole : Daniel , you are the best .
Marlena : Yes , thank you so much . Thank you both so much .
Daniel : Well , when the nurses finish checking his vitals , you know , you can go in and see him .
Roman : All right .
Daniel : Yeah .
Roman : Well , thanks . Okay .
Daniel : Can I talk to you for a minute ?
Nicole : Sure .
Daniel : Yeah , I need to know everything that happened from the time you found Eric to the time that you brought him here . Every detail however unimportant it may seem .
Nicole : Why , what s going on ?
Kristen : The fever and the chills are nt the side effects you re talking about , are they ?
Chyka : No . As I said , they should subside quickly . I m referring to the other thing we discussed .
Kristen : The promise that you made me that the patient would nt remember anything that happened to him ? That other thing ?
Chyka : Uh , yes . That .
Daniel : Eric s lab results are not indicative of a bacterial infection . I have never seen a virus hit this hard this fast and clear up just as quickly .
Nicole : I m sorry . What are you saying ?
Daniel : Well , if I did nt know better , I would say that Eric was poisoned .
Kristen : Now you re telling me this ?
Chyka : I m sorry . It was only after I gave you those formulations that I was alerted to a problem with the ingredients I used . Apparently , part of the compound was corrupted .
Kristen : So ?
Chyka : Its properties are likely not as potent as I expected them to be .
Kristen : And what does that mean ?
Chyka : Obviously the drug worked as expected . But it s very difficult for me to make any promises about the victim s long - term memory at this time .
Kristen : So what you re telling me is that this person could remember everything that happened to him ? Is that what you re saying ? Damn it .
Eric : [ Groaning ]

Casey : Are you okay ?
Maddie : Yes . I m fine . Are you ?
Gwen : You mean it ?
Will : Yeah . I ve got the money . You ve the talent . Let s cut a demo . Adam says it s the way to go .
Gwen : And if we do this , then Adam definitely has to be involved ?
Will : Well , who else ?
Gwen : Well , I mean , I m just saying , giving us advice is one thing . I m not sure he wants to help build my career .
Will : What ? What are you talking about ? Of course he does . You re awesome . Gwen , what s wrong ? Have you decided all of a sudden that you do nt like Adam ?
Gwen : Mm - mmm , no , he s fine . It s just that if we get Adam , we might end up getting Jade , too .
Will : What ? He just met her tonight .
Gwen : Well , one night is all it seems to take with that very special girl .
Will : Gwen .
Gwen : I m just saying , that if Adam does end up dating Jade , and we end up working with Adam --
Will : Trust me . Trust me , once Adam hears what she did to us , then he and Jade will be history .
Luke : Jade , if you re going , you better leave now , like right now .
Jade : Lucinda ?
Luke : Yeah , headed this way .
Jade : You know , I m going to need that ride after all . Cover for me .
Lucinda : Was that Jade ? All decked out and skulking away from me ?
Luke : Grandmother , I ve been looking all over for you .
Lucinda : Out here , Darling ?
Luke : Well , you promised me a dance , or I promised you one . Well , anyway , I hope you are ready to bust a move because we are --
Lucinda : Luke --
Luke : Yeah , it was Jade . So what ?
Lucinda : She promised your mother that she was not going to come to this party .
Luke : So , she changed her mind . What are you doing ?
Lucinda : I m going to telephone your poor mother . And tell her to greet the lying troublemaker at the door .
Luke : You re the one that s causing trouble , and I want you to stop .
Dusty : Let s go upstairs , put Johnny to bed , and try to figure your father s next move .
Lucy : Okay .
Barbara : You re not invited .
Dusty : Barbara .
Barbara : You knew that your father had had that order rescinded . And you knew that he was gon na plan on taking Johnny tonight .
Lucy : No . No , I did nt !
Dusty : She kept Johnny away from her father .
Barbara : She pretended to .
Dusty : Apologize for that .
Lucy : It s okay . It does nt matter .
Dusty : No , it ends now . You speak another word against Lucy , and you can say goodbye to your grandson , for good .
Meg : Take me home .
Paul : That s a great idea . Right after I talk to Dusty .
Meg : No . Why ?
Paul : Well , I want to let him know that I can help .
Meg : Dusty does nt want your help .
Paul : If Craig is going to play the biological father card to try and get custody of Johnny , then Dusty is going to need the help of Johnny s blood relatives .
Meg : Okay . Well , talk to him tomorrow then .
Paul : Now s better . Look , Craig has already starting to throw up smokescreens . The whole disappearing thing , and trying to get you alone .
Meg : You think that s what it was about ?
Paul : Well yeah , in the long run . Why ? It was nt ?
Craig : You re the one who told Dusty I had a plane waiting ?
Emily : You were planning to kidnap his son .
Craig : My son .
Emily : He had the right to know .
Craig : It was a test , Emily . To see if you d betray me .
Emily : And I failed . So what ? So what now ? You re going to fire me ?
Craig : Well , you have shown a certain lack of loyalty .
Emily : I care about Jennifer s son . I care about what she wanted for him . If that makes me disloyal to you , tough . I would betray you a thousand times over to help that little boy .
Craig : Good . I can work with that .
Craig : Do you really think I d ever do anything to hurt my son ?
Emily : Do you really want me to answer that ? You re not exactly a model parent .
Craig : Oh , and Dusty is ? The guy s a thug .
Emily : And you re a felon .
Craig : And this fatherly connection that he claims to have is ludicrous ! He bonded with my son for one reason . It s because he wanted Jennifer , and Johnny just happened to come with the package . And what happens when Dusty gets involved someone else ?
Emily : I do nt know . It ll be pretty interesting if he ends up with Lucy .
Craig : Dusty is not going to end up with my daughter any more than he s going to end up with my son !
Emily : That is my point . It does nt matter who Dusty ends up with . He will always put Johnny first .
Craig : Of course . The way that Daniel came first when you were with Paul ?
Emily : You do nt know anything about me and my son .
Craig : I know you that regret every single moment that you ve lost with Daniel because you truly love your child . The way you loved the little girl that you lost .
Emily : Why are you talking about this ?
Craig : Do you think Paul cries for her like you do ? Hmm ? Do you think he feels the physical pain of her loss ?
Emily : How should I know ?
Craig : My guess ? When Paul and Meg go home tonight , I do nt think he ll be wasting any time grieving . I think he ll be ripping what s left of that hot little costume off that gorgeous body .
Emily : You stop it ! Stop it !
Craig : Oh , I m sorry . It must really gall you to see them happy together . When what you really want is to separate them .
Emily : You have no idea what I want .
Craig : Of course I do . Since I want the same thing .
Paul : My sister would ve wanted me to help Johnny .
Meg : Jennifer trusted Dusty to take care of Johnny . And he will .
Paul : Yeah , but I can help now --
Meg : Do you ever see me ?
Paul : What ?
Meg : You walk into a room , and everyone else disappears for me . Does that ever happen to you ?
Paul : Meg --
Meg : Paul , you re always looking past me , through me , to Emily , to Craig , to Johnny , to Dusty . You know what ? Stay . Do what you have to do . I m going home .
Barbara : You would deprive me of my grandson when you know that he s all I have left of my daughter because of her ?
Dusty : Because of her , your grandson s with us , not Craig . Because of what she did , you should be thanking her .
Lucy : It s okay . We re all upset .
Dusty : Now , I m going upstairs , and I m putting him to bed . I d like Lucy to join me . But if you re uncomfortable having her here , Johnny and I will leave .
Barbara : No . No , do nt leave . I ll stay here and say our goodbyes .
Dusty : Chaz ?
Chaz : I m with you .
Dusty : We re okay . You can take the rest of the night off .
Chaz : Whatever you say .
Meg : Hi . Have you two seen Bob and Kim ? I d like to say goodnight .
Margo : I think they re closing up the silent auction .
Meg : Okay , great . Thank you .
Margo : Look , ca nt you just go back to being a D.A. ? Your replacement has nt been there but a few days .
Tom : So , what ? He gets fired because I decided to change my mind ? I mean , I do nt even remember saying anything about wanting to go back there . I mean , we talked about this , Honey . We wanted more time together .
Margo : Yeah , but it s not going to be much fun if we all we do is argue about Craig .
Tom : So , let s let Craig be Craig , and we ll concentrate on each other .
Margo : You re good at concentrating .
Tom : I know that .
Margo : Just get another job , please ? Any law firm in town --
Tom : I m just not going to quit yet . I made a commitment , and I signed a contract .
Margo : A contract that you drew up , so you can break it .
Tom : We have a son in college . We have Daniel s education to pay for .
Margo : You re going to continue to work for Craig , even though it compromises your integrity , for money ?
Tom : If that s the way you want to see it .
Maddie : Why would he come in here dressed like that , huh ?
Casey : Someone had to put him up to it .
Maddie : It s Halloween . He did nt know who I was .
Casey : Yeah , but he busted in here and just made a joke out of it .
Maddie : People do stuff like that all the time . You ca nt just go around beating people up .
Casey : He came to the door and scared you .
Maddie : He surprised me . Okay , I was freaked out a little bit , but I m over it . I m fine .
Casey : Well , good for you .
Maddie : What is that supposed to mean ?
Casey : What s that supposed to mean ? It s okay for some guy to come in and scare the crap out of you , but when I jump on top of him --
Maddie : I m not a victim !
Casey : I know that !
Maddie : Then stop treating me like I m some poor , little damaged girl who needs her bad boy boyfriend to protect her !
Gwen : I wish Jade would just leave town .
Will : Well , there s no chance of that now . She found out she s related to the Snyders . Would you leave ?
Gwen : No . But I hate running into her all the time .
Will : Well , so that s incentive . We ll cut this demo . You ll become a huge star . Then we ll spend half our time touring the world .
Gwen : What are we going to do with the rest of our time ?
Will : Well , we ll be living in our palatial mansion in Beverly Hills .
Gwen : I thought our palatial mansion was going to be in Miami Beach .
Will : No . That s our other palatial mansion . Come on , let s go .
Gwen : Where are we going ?
Will : Somewhere where Jade definitely is nt .
Simon : Okay , that was nt just sex , that was --
Carly : A religious experience ?
Simon : Well , I am definitely a convert .
Carly : Maybe it was just overdue . It s been awhile . Well , it s been awhile for me . For you , it s been , like , what , two hours or so ?
Simon : Okay , whoa -- will you hold on ? Vienna and I only got as far as the preliminaries , and then she passed out .
Carly : Passed out ? So , you got the necklace off her without even having to --
Simon : Without having to -- yes , yes . As for you and I , though , we just took that to a whole new level .
Carly : Yeah . Yeah , I think so . You know , an experience like that , it probably ca nt even be repeated .
Simon : Well , I m ready when you are .
Carly : It s Jack !
Simon : Oh ?
Carly : It s Jack . It s Jack . He knows that we stole the necklace , and he s going to arrest me , and I m never going to see my children again !
Simon : You got all that just from one knock ? It s probably someone who found the wrong room , okay ?
Vienna : Simon ? Simon , open the door !
Luke : So , you just going to give me the silent treatment ?
Lucinda : No . On the contrary . I d like you to try to tell me why you think you can take me to task for my treatment of this little --
Luke : This what ? My cousin ? I did nt want you to get her in trouble with Mom .
Lucinda : Jade has already accomplished that , right ? She came to the party . Her mother specifically asked her not to .
Luke : Look , could you at least try to give her a chance ? She s just trying to fit in . She wants to be accepted , and all you re doing is making her feel not welcome .
Luke : Well , yeah . So did I !
Lucinda : Darling , you lied because you were afraid of what people might do when they found out you were gay .
Luke : Well , Jade is afraid of people finding out the truth about her , too .
Lucinda : Her truth is that she s a liar .
Luke : And you know what else ? She s family . And you have always said that there is nothing more important than that .
Jade : Thanks for the ride home .
Adam : It ll cost you .
Jade : I m not going to kiss you .
Adam : Damn . Well , I guess I ll settle for an explanation instead . Last chance , Jade . How did you get to be public enemy number one ?
Jade : The old - fashioned way . I earned it . Listen , why do nt you ask Gwen or Casey or Will --
Adam : I m asking you .
Jade : Listen , it was really , really nice meeting you . I had fun tonight . But once I tell you , you re not going to like me anymore .
Adam : Well , if you ve hurt the people I care about , you re probably right . But how about I give you a choice ? I can leave , and Will and Casey can fill me in on what you did , or I can stay , and you can tell me who you are .
Dusty : I thought I was ready for anything . When your father pulled those papers --
Lucy : Those papers just give my father the legal right to be in the same room as Johnny .
Dusty : You think it ll end there ?
Lucy : Oh , Dusty . I m so sorry .
Dusty : Why ?
Lucy : Because he s my father , and he continues to hurt people . And no matter how much I want to , I ca nt stop him .
Dusty : Lucy , what you did tonight was nt easy .
Lucy : Yes , it was . Daddy reached for Johnny , and everything in me told me to keep that sweet baby away from him . It wo nt stop . He wo nt stop . He wo nt stop until he wins .
Dusty : I promised my wife I d never let this happen .
Lucy : Then do nt . Do whatever you have to do to hold onto your son and let me help you .
Craig : You re still in love with him .
Emily : With Paul ? He nearly destroyed me .
Craig : Well then , make him suffer the way you ve suffered . Why should he have Meg when you have no one ?
Emily : And you d do that for me ? You d make him suffer ? And all I have to do is --
Craig : Watch .
Emily : As you steal Dusty s son .
Craig : That boy belongs to me .
Emily : God help you . So , you never told me . Am I fired or not ?
Craig : Not yet .
Emily : In that case , I have a party to attend to . Excuse me .
Tom : We need to talk .
Craig : Are you quitting ?
Tom : Not yet .
Craig : Well then , it can wait .
Tom : Yeah . The next time you want to make what amounts to a legal assault , you inform legal counsel beforehand .
Craig : You re right . I m sorry . I would have , but I needed to move on this , and you had nt taken the job yet . And besides , knowing my sister , I just figured that it was better for you to stay out of the loop on this one . Oh , but I do need to take care of an important matter tonight . Can you stick around ?
Tom : If it even hints at something illegal --
Craig : Everything I do these days is legal . It s so much more effective that way .
Tom : Then I ll meet with you after the party .
Craig : Great .
Paul : Excuse me , everyone . I m sorry to interrupt . I have a very important announcement about the most gorgeous woman in the world . Detective Hughes , please . Do you mind if you -- could you just detain that achingly beautiful , and somewhat angry vision in silver ?
Margo : I m curious . Are nt you ?
Meg : No .
Paul : Meg , I did a really smart thing . And I asked you to marry me . And then I did bunch of really stupid things , because I did nt want to tell anybody about the engagement , and I tried to keep it a secret , and -- the stupidest thing of all was I took you for granted .
Meg : So , what are you going to do about it ?
Paul : Meg , I love you with all of my heart . And so , here , in front of all these costumed people , with God and Detective Hughes as my witness , I m asking you , please , will you still be my wife ?
Meg : Get up .
Paul : I m not going to get up until you say yes .
Meg : Yes !
Simon : Hurry ! Hey , hey . Whew . Vienna . What are you doing here ?
Vienna : After everything you ve done to me , the least you can do is invite me inside .
Simon : Aw , Babe . I was sleeping .
Vienna : This is the most horrible night of my life . I knew you were trouble , Simon . How did I get myself sucked into this ? And now --
Simon : Oh , my God . Whoa , whoa -- Vienna ! What happened to your necklace ?
Vienna : I ll never wear it again .
Simon : Why not ?
Vienna : I do nt have it anymore . I returned it downstairs to the safe , and then , I told the prince that I was leaving him for you .
Simon : For me ?
Vienna : I wish I could resist you . Dolly is a prince , after all , but , there s no use . Let s pick up from where we left off . You know , wherever that was , I m still a little fuzzy about it . But it does nt matter , Simon . I need you . I have to have you now .
Simon : Oh , man ! Oh ! I have to have you , too ! Really badly . I want you so bad , but , aw , Babe , you really wore me out before . I m exhausted .
Vienna : No . No , no , no . I ll revive you . You know I can .
Simon : You know , I m just really , really worried that I wo nt be able to concentrate , because the prince and his guards are gon na come crashing through that door again , and --
Vienna : No , no , no . Forget about the prince . I m leaving town tomorrow , and if we only have tonight , then --
Simon : What .
Vienna : Where did this come from ?
Simon : What ?
Vienna : Were you too worn out for the woman who was wearing this ?
Coming up , on As the World Turns --
Vienna : So , it was just sex ?
Simon : No .
Carly : Yes .
Vienna : Are you in love with her ?
Simon : Maybe I am .
Lucy : I do nt want to leave you . In my opinion , happiness is having ... the people you love around you .
Vienna : I ve seen this shoe before . That blonde !
Simon : Katie ?
Vienna : The other blonde . The one I warned to stay away from you . Where is she hiding ? Is she under the bed ?
Carly : Do nt look under the bed !
Simon : Vienna , she s not under the bed .
Vienna : About the sex , and about
Simon : Oh , come on , I got rid of her , did nt it ? And at least she did nt discover this . Oh , come on , do nt worry about it . She s gon na forget about me . She bores easily . She ll huff , and she ll puff , and she ll probably move on from the prince to the king .
Carly : What if she starts thinking about the necklace ? And she decides she s gon na go in the safe and check it out ?
Simon : Why would she ? She thinks everything s fine . Now , where were we ?
Carly : No , no , I ca nt do this .
Casey : How did I become the bad guy here ?
Maddie : I just ca nt take you being so careful with me all the time .
Casey : What ?
Maddie : Like when you want to kiss me , and you do nt . You act like I m your kid sister or something .
Casey : What am I supposed to do ? You were --
Maddie : I was raped . You can say it .
Casey : No , no , I ca nt . I really ca nt . I ca nt stand it .
Maddie : Me ? You ca nt stand me ?
Casey : No , your brother - in - law . What he did to you , that he hurt you , and I could nt do anything about it . I would have killed him , Maddie . I would have killed him .
Maddie : You did nt even know me then .
Casey : But I know you now . And I want to be with you all the time .
Maddie : You do ?
Casey : Yeah , of course I do , and I m not gon na push you , I m not . And I m not gon na apologize for pounding on that guy . He scared you . And any other guy that tries to do that is gon na have to deal with me , so --
Maddie : Okay , so next time when I want you to kiss me , I should just --
Casey : Yeah , that d be great .
Will : It s nice and quiet here with everybody at the party .
Gwen : Yeah .
Will : All right , so you got your laptop ?
Gwen : I m gon na leave it here , come by tomorrow and just study for a couple hours . I m ready to head home whenever you are .
Will : Where s your roommate ?
Gwen : She s on the soccer team . She has a game in Ohio . Why ?
Will : It s kind of like your home away from home now , right ?
Gwen : Mm - hmm , yeah . Yeah . And it s getting homier all the time .
Jade : In the beginning , I thought I was pregnant . I had all these symptoms .
Adam : Did you take a test ?
Jade : I was sure , but I did nt want to see the proof . Because that would make it real . And that really terrified me . That does nt make any sense .
Adam : It kind of does . And when you realized there was no baby ? Hey , you can tell me .
Jade : I wanted to hold onto the fantasy for a little while longer . I had just gotten used to the idea of being someone s mom . And sharing that with Will . He s such a great guy , and now he hates me .
Adam : You should nt have lied to him . And Gwen . I mean , I kind of see --
Jade : Yeah , right . Great . Now , you know the whole story . You can join the hate Jade club . It s been real .
Adam : Jade , wait .
Jade : No , I do nt need another person dumping on me !
Adam : Would you just listen ? Okay . What you did was pretty twisted . But I m not going anywhere .
Dusty : He s asleep now . He s been crying a lot , like he can feel how worried I am .
Lucy : I want to help , Dusty .
Dusty : You already are , just being here . Your date s gon na want to kill me .
Lucy : My date ! Oh no .
Dusty : You forgot about your doctor friend ?
Lucy : How could I be so rude ? I just left him downstairs . I did nt even tell him where I was going , or how long I d be . I should go .
Dusty : It s easier to call him .
Lucy : Right , right .
Dusty : What s wrong ?
Lucy : If I call Steve , and he s still downstairs , I ll have to go back to the party .
Dusty : You do nt want to deal with your father ?
Lucy : I do nt want to leave you .
Craig : How did he ask you ?
Emily : What ?
Craig : To marry him . How did he ask ?
Emily : He did nt . I asked him when he was in jail .
Emily : He only slept with me because it was in his master plan to get to Dusty .
Craig : Ouch . And he was nt even going to permit you to see your baby . Meg was going to replace you . That s exactly what Dusty s doing to me . Yeah , same thing , Emily . I just want to know -- for my child to know me .
Emily : I never looked at it like that .
Craig : You understand now ? And I ca nt let Dusty get away with that anymore than you can let those people who stole your future to have one of their own .
Emily : So you want to break them up ?
Craig : Yes .
Emily : For me ?
Craig : Partly .
Emily : Because you want to hurt Paul ?
Craig : That . And more .
Craig : You and I both want the same end result . And we can get it if we work together .
Emily : Breaking up Meg and Paul wo nt bring my baby back .
Craig : So they get each other , and what do you get ? You know , if Paul had nt seduced you , you would have stayed with Hal .
Emily : No .
Craig : Oh yes , come on , be honest . You would have worked out some way to stay with him . And who knows ? You might even have a baby by now .
Emily : Just stop it ! I ca nt do what you re asking me to do .
Craig : Well , then , concentrate on what I m offering you , Emily . An escape . Or would you prefer the constant onslaught of Paul and Meg living happily ever after ? It s enough to make you want to jump off a cliff , is nt it ? Oh I m sorry , you already did that .
Emily : Craig ! I do nt want to do anything to hurt Dusty . But what would I have to do ?
Dusty : You want to stay here ?
Lucy : In Barbara s suite ? Where she can walk in any second and start in on me again ? I do nt think so .
Dusty : You just said what , then ?
Lucy : I like being with you . Nothing new about that . I should go downstairs and check on Steve . Give Johnny a kiss for me .
Dusty : Wait a sec .
Lucy : It s okay . Do nt worry about it . Good night .
Carly : You know you should nt have rejected Vienna . You should have kicked me out here , so she could --
Simon : She could have stayed , slept with me ? Who do you think I am ?
Carly : A gigolo and a thief ? No offense .
Simon : And yet , I find myself offended . Carly , what happened between us tonight meant something .
Carly : Yeah , it means that Vienna s going to do whatever she has to do to get back at you . And if she has even the slightest inkling that that necklace she put in the vault is a fake --
Simon : There is no way they re gon na be able to trace the real one back to me . Okay ? I m going to fence this stone by stone . It could take years for the prince to discover that it was a switch . That was a brilliant replica . Okay ? He has no reason to believe it was a fake . Please , I ve done this before , okay ? Do nt worry about it .
Carly : Okay . Okay , but I m going to do that not worrying at home .
Simon : Carly --
Carly : And we can get some rest . Yeah , we need to get some rest , Simon , separately . You and I in our own separate beds . We have a busy day tomorrow .
Simon : All right . Any room in that schedule for the two of us ? Or are you just going to pretend that what happened between us tonight never happened ? ( Cough )
Carly : What happened between us was great , but we should nt let it sidetrack us .
Simon : Well , I can multitask . How about you ?
Carly : It s just that everything is moving really fast .
Simon : Okay , so tomorrow , after I ve fenced the jewels and get the money --
Carly : And pay back Spirro , so he does nt kill you .
Simon : Yeah , and after all that , we can --
Carly : We ll see , Simon . We ll see .
Adam : Are you sorry for what you did ?
Jade : Sure , I m sorry , but that does nt mean anything to anybody . I made a mistake . But you would think that Will would try to be more understanding since his mistake cost me my mom .
Adam : Wait . Rose DAngelo , she s your --
Jade : Yeah , she was my mom . I never knew her . She gave me up for adoption . By the time I came looking for her , she was dead . Because of Will . I do nt blame him for it . I mean , he was just a kid . I just -- I wish he would nt blame me so much .
Adam : I can see how things between you and my brother would be pretty complicated .
Jade : Yeah .
Adam : It does nt have to be that way for the two of us . I d like to see you again . If that s okay ?
Jade : I would like that .
Gwen : It s going to be a lot harder to study in here now .
Will : It s a good thing you kept this place . It s kind of cool . It s like an escape from the real world .
Drunken student : Whoo , keg - fest in the hall !
Will : On second thought
Drunken student : Trick or treat !
Casey : I was starting to enjoy this .
Maddie : I ll get it .
Casey : Ohh .
Maddie : Sorry , we re all out of candy .
Drunken student : Got any beer ?
Maddie : Nope , just water .
Drunken student : Forget it .
Maddie : Okay .
Casey : That was nice .
Maddie : Thanks .
Casey : So , I was wondering , when I want to kiss you , what should I do ?
Maddie : Just look at me like that , and I ll get the message .
Dusty : Wait a second .
Lucy : I should go . Umm , Steve .
Dusty : Yeah , I just wanted to tell you Barbara is going to be back any minute , so you might want to use the back way . Just in case .
Lucy : Yeah , I would nt want to run into her again . And I ll take the service elevator . That way , I do nt run into my father .
Dusty : That s a good idea . Thanks for everything .
Craig : All you have to do is tell Dusty the truth as you know it .
Emily : I do nt understand .
Craig : Just continue to do what you ve been doing . Alerting Dusty to everything that I m doing to get closer to Johnny . Do nt spare any details .
Emily : How does that help you ? Oh , right . You stay one step ahead of them . He s get frustrated and angry . You want him angry . Him and Paul both .
Craig : And while they re flying off their respective handles , I keep a cool head . And in the end , I get everything I want .
Katie : What did you see ?
Vienna : Simon and Carly together in their suite . And they were burning with love for each other . You could feel the heat a mile away .
Emily : Craig is working on something . And it may be far worse than what he pulled last night .
Carly : I want to know if you re saying that there s a chance for us , if Simon s out of the picture .
Jack : That would depend on whether or not Simon is out of the picture . Is he ? Do nt forget to rinse those dishes first .

Maxie : Of course .
George : Well , wow . You look lovely tonight .
Maxie : Thank you . You look great , as well , which is always important for a red carpet correspondent . I mean , too stodgy and you bore the viewers . Too trendy and you steal the spotlight . It s a fine line . You walk it well .
George : Thank you very much . But what I wanted to --
Maxie : No , thank you , George , for bringing coverage to the Nurses Ball that it deserves . I mean , we all work really hard to raise awareness and help find a cure for HIV and AIDS , which , in the end , is more important than who s wearing what .
George : Well said , Miss Jones . Enjoy your evening .
Maxie : Thank you . You , too .
George : Thank you .
Spinelli : Fear not . I have reclaimed my phone .
Maxie : Hurry up , or we re gon na miss our spot on the step - and - repeat .

Ellie : Damian , are you hurt ?
Spinelli : No . Only my pride , I m afraid . Uh , Maxie and I had no idea that you two were ... t - together .
Ellie : Oh , uh --
Nathan : Well , I figured , you know , since Ellie was in town , I d just show her a good time .
Maxie : Oh . Well , I hope you guys have exactly that .
Ellie : I think we upset them .
Nathan : That s kind of the point , right ? No , okay , so look , we keep this up a little bit longer , they see that they re not supposed to be with each other , they re supposed to be with us .
Brad : And ...
Spinelli : M - M - Maxie , wait !

Spencer : What the cuss , Josslyn ? ! I thought you were living happily ever after with that townie Cameron ! What do you mean it did nt take ? ! Well , I hate to break it to you , Joss , but ... that townie might have a point . You are a bit of a noodge . Some days you just ca nt find a decent honey trap .
Molly : Mr. Lavery ... I just wanted to say thank you . TJ told me you re paying for his tuition . That is really amazing .
Duke : Oh , that s all right . Think nothing of it .
TJ : I m sorry , Mr. Lavery . I told Molly not to make a big deal about it .

Jordan : Good evening , all . What are we all talking about ?
Duke : Well , I was just telling TJ what a bright future he has ahead of him .
Lucas : Hey , you made it . [ Kiss ]

You know , we started this event in 1994 , and we revived it in 2013 , and it s so special to me and to all of us because this is the one night a year we all get together and we raise money for the treatment and the prevention and , God willing , the complete eradication of HIV / AIDS .
Lucy : And we are so fortunate this evening because our wonderful ball is being sponsored by Aveeno . And through their generosity -- listen to this -- each and every dollar we raise tonight is going directly to the cause , so you guys will be donating a lot .

Spencer : You re here ! You re really here ! I missed you so much !
Britt : Oh , I missed you , too ! I heard about your accident , and I just had to come see you . How are you ?
Spencer : As well as can be expected considering I m a hideous freak now .
Britt : What ? That s not true at all . Please tell me this is nt the reason why you re staying home from the Nurses Ball .
Spencer : What s the point ? I d be too embarrassed anyway . Even the girl I love ca nt stand to look at me anymore .
Dr. Obrecht : Thank you . [ Laughs ] Yes . That song takes me back to halcyon days of 1983 as the threat of global thermal nuclear war loomed above us all . [ Laughs ]

Molly : Elizabeth , um , my dad is getting ready for his performance . He wanted me to give you something . You can open that once the song starts .
Lucy : Oh , well , hello again . [ Chuckles ] After the nuclear holocaust -- oh , pardon me -- um , listen , I have a truly wonderful palette cleanser for all of you . This next performer is the devilishly handsome date of the beautiful super nurse sitting right there . Ladies and gentlemen , please put your hands together for Mr. Ric Lansing .
Ric : Thank you . Um , as many of you may know , I ve had , uh , quite a ride this past year . But fortunately , I have , uh , been given a second chance at life , a second chance at being a father , and a second chance at love . Elizabeth , you can open that box now .
Ric : It s a beautiful night we re looking for something dumb to do . Hey , baby I think I wanna marry you . Is it that look in your eyes ? Or is it this dancing juice ? Who cares , baby ? I think I wanna marry you . Well , I know a little chapel on the boulevard we can go , oh , oh , oh , oh no one will know , oh , oh , oh , oh so come on --
Jake : What is going on ?
Hayden : I have no idea .
Carly : I am so sorry . I m so sorry to interrupt . Can I have that ?
Ric : No .
Carly : Yeah . Thanks . This will only take a minute . I promise . I m not sure if you guys are aware , but this is a wedding photo of Hayden Barnes and Jake Barnes , formerly known as Jake Doe . And because of reconstructive surgery , the man in this photo is now sitting in the audience with a different face . Except how is that possible ? Pete , can you join us onstage ?
Carly : What s up , Pete ?
Carly : I do nt know about you all , but I think the resemblance is uncanny .
Pete : It s not just a resemblance . That s me . I was paid to pose in that photo .
Jake : What s he talking about ?
Carly : Pete , you told me that the man who paid you and Hayden wanted everyone to believe that Jake was married . Who was that man again ?
Pete : He was . This guy .
Carly : This guy -- Ric Lansing , huh ?
Ric : This is the reason that you -- you extended that olive branch , right ?
Carly : What s that ?
Ric : So that you can get me up onstage and humiliate me in front of --
Carly : Right , it s my fault . It s all my fault . Not you or any of the actions that you did . Poor , pathetic , scheming Ric was so jealous of Elizabeth s happiness with Jake that he had to hire a woman to pretend to be Jake s wife , and he paid Pete here for the before pictures .
Ric : Elizabeth , wait !
Carly : I m so sorry you had to find out like that . But at least now you know the truth about the lying bitch that s in your bed .
Ric : Elizabeth , please . We can talk about this .
Elizabeth : You lying bastard ! [ Slap ]
Spencer : So , what am I supposed to do ? Show up at the Nurses Ball and proclaim my love for Emma ? Even if I was nt embarrassed by my face , it did nt work last year , and I hired a seminal rock band .
Britt : So you are gon na get back up on that horse and try again . You and I are a lot alike , Spence . When life beats us down , we live to fight another day .
Spencer : But how ?
Britt : [ Chuckles ] How ? You are Spencer Stefan Nikolosovich Cassadine ! It s time to quit sulking and get your little behind to that ball !
Lucy : Um , gosh , you just never know what the heck s gon na happen at the Nurses Ball , huh ? [ Chuckles ]
Valerie : You did nt know anything about this , did you ?
Nikolas : Excuse me . I need to find Elizabeth .
Ric : I know you may -- may not believe this , but everything that I did was because I love you .
Elizabeth : Love me ? Love me ? ! This is not love !
Elizabeth : Love is about honesty . Love is about respect . You did nt give me either of those . In fact , you took away my choice in the matter !
Ric : Choice ? ! There should nt have been a choice ! Look , everything was going good for us ! We d finally gotten back together , and then I was framed ! And everything that I worked so hard to get with you and with Molly was taken away from me ! I wanted that back ! I wanted the chance to get back what was stolen from us !
Elizabeth : What about Jake ?
Ric : I do nt give a damn about Jake !
Elizabeth : I do ! What did you think was gon na happen to him after he left town ? Was Hayden just supposed to break up with him and move on to the next con ?
Ric : Well , Jake probably would have been able to move on with his life , I m sure .
Elizabeth : I remember when I believed I could see the kind soul buried underneath all of this self - doubt and obsession and insecurities . I ...
Ric : And you still do .
Elizabeth : ... Gave you chance after chance , hoping that I could find that part of you again . But it s gone .
Ric : No , Elizabeth , do nt say that .
Elizabeth : It s gone . Maybe it was never even there . Maybe you were never good . At the very least , you were never good enough for me . Goodbye , Ric . I - I do nt -- I do nt ever want to see you again .
Jake : Stop . Who are you ?
Hayden : Well , I m not your wife . I guess you figured that out by now .
Jake : Is your name even Hayden ?
Hayden : Everything I told you about me , all true , all legit . Everything I told you about you is ... a lie .
Jake : Why ? I know Lansing must have paid you a lot of money . Did you really need it that bad ?
Hayden : Look , it was nt personal . You seem like a great guy , and it sucks that you got caught in the cross fire , but just so we re clear , I m not the one you should be mad at .
Lucy : You know , I remember last year -- correct me if I m wrong -- but our lab chief , Brad Cooper , bailed out our cabooses with an impromptu number . Gee , I wonder if Mr. Brad Cooper is here . Anybody ?
Lucas : I got your Brad Cooper right here !
Lucy : Oh , wow . Well , hey , Mr. Cooper , what do you say ? Will you save our cabooses again ?
All : Brad ! Brad ! Brad ! Brad ! Brad ! Brad !
Lucy : Come on up ! Come on !
Lucy : Come here ! Come here ! Come here !
Brad : Okay . [ Laughs ] Thank you .
Lucy : Ladies and gentlemen , here he is , Mr. Brad Cooper . Go !
Brad : Thanks . We need the boys now . Go get the boys . Please .
Brad : Uh ... [Chuckles ] All right , let s , uh ... let s hit it . [ Chuckles ]
Brad : Uh , no , no , no , no . Stop , stop , stop . Please . [ Chuckles ] Uh , could we do something like kicking up the notch a bit ?
Brad : All right , yes . That s better . It s a beautiful night we re looking for something dumb to do . Hey , baby I think I wanna marry you . Is it the look in your eyes ? Or is it this dancing juice ? Who cares , baby ? I think I wanna marry you . Well , I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go , oh , oh , oh , oh .
Felix : Hey , get out there . Brad needs backup .
Dancers : We re not dressed .
Felix : You re dressed enough . Get up . Go , go , go , go ! Get , get , get , get ! Come on ! Come on ! Move it ! Hey , help me out .
Brad : Who cares if we re trashed ? Got a pocket full of cash we can blow , oh , oh , oh , oh shots of Patrón and it s on . Do nt say no , no , no , no , no just say yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah and we ll go , go , go , go , go if you re ready , like I m ready cause it s a beautiful night we re looking for something dumb to do hey , baby I think I wanna marry you .

Iis it the look in your eyes ? Or is it this dancing juice ? Who cares , baby ? I think I wanna marry you
Lucy : Brad Cooper ! Whoo ! Thank you , thank you , thank you . We are forever in your debt . And I know that was not the song you would have picked , so there s no pressure for you to propose to anybody .
Brad : Why not ?
Spencer : You know what , Britt ? You are the best .
Britt : [ Chuckles ] No . You are the best . Now stop wasting time . Those dummies at the Nurses Ball wo nt know what hit them . [ Chuckles ]
Spencer : Chandler ! We re going out !
Lucy : What did you just say ?
Brad : Who says there s no proposal happening tonight ? I know this is fast , and I know this is [ Chuckles ] Crazy , but ... I ca nt think of anyone else I d rather spend my life with . [ Sighs ] Lucas Jones ... will you marry me ?
Ric : I was just on my way out .
Jake : Keep walking .
Carly : And do nt come back , either of you .
Ric : I m gone .
Carly : Keep it that way . You , too . Leave immediately , or I will have Security throw you out .
Hayden : All of my clothes are upstairs in my room .
Carly : That would be my room , and you can pick up your luggage on the curb . Oh , but there is one thing you might want to take with you . You do nt need that ring , do you ?
Hayden : [ Scoffs ]
Carly : Maybe you could pawn it .
Hayden : Screw you .
Carly : [ Chuckles ] I warned you not to mess with my friend , Hayden . Now get out . I knew you d never be married to a bitch like that .
Nikolas : Elizabeth ?
Elizabeth : [ Voice breaking ] I am such an idiot . How many times am I gon na let that man do this to me ?
Nikolas : I m sorry .
Elizabeth : Whatever -- whatever -- whatever was between me and Ric is history , cause I am done . I am so done .
Nikolas : Good .
Elizabeth : I just ca nt believe he dragged Jake into this . Oh , God . Jake . He was at my house . We agreed that we wanted to be together , and then -- then -- then his so - called wife showed up . I need to go tell him .
Nikolas : Elizabeth , do nt go rushing --
Elizabeth : The only reason why we ended things is because he was supposedly married , but he s not ! It s all a lie !
Nikolas : He is married .
Elizabeth : No , what -- what are you talking about ?
Nikolas : Nothing . Forget it . Nothing .
Elizabeth : Okay , forgotten . Now I got to go get him .
Nikolas : You ca nt .
Elizabeth : I do nt care if Jake never remembers who he is , and I - I do nt care I - if he -- if he ever knows ! You will care .
Elizabeth : I m finally gon na be happy . Jake is free . He wants to be with me . I want to be with him .
Nikolas : Elizabeth -- E - Elizabeth !
Elizabeth : We can finally be together !
Nikolas : Jake ... is Jason .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Ridge : So what are your plans ?
Eric : Plans ?
Ridge : For mother s homecoming ?
Eric : Homecoming ? She s been gone for a couple of days , not a couple of weeks .
Ridge : Just long enough for you to start acting inappropriately .
Eric : Oh , come on , Ridge .
Ridge : Dad , you were kissing Jackie Marone at that restaurant .
Eric : I explained that to you , Ridge . It was completely innocent .
Ridge : And it was wrong . Do you have any idea what that would do to mother if she found out about that ? She s battling cancer , for God sake . She does nt need any of this . Dad , you re the patriarch of this family . Start acting like one .
Taylor : You asked to see me ?
Brooke : I wanted to thank you again for what you did the other day , supporting Ridge .
Taylor : Well , it was nt an easy decision . Thorne s a good man , and , you know , he deserves better . He s been overlooked . He s been painfully passed over , and I disappointed him .
Brooke : He respects you , Taylor . He knows you do nt want to start a war within the family . And truth be told , I think he s falling in love with you .
Dayzee : You re so cute . Is that your tickle spot ? ( Chuckles ) That is .
Marcus : ( Laughs )
Dayzee : Who is that ? You re so cute . I just want to eat you up . Do you want that ? ( Clicking tongue ) Do you want your Aunt Dayzee to just eat you up ? ( Chuckles )
Marcus : Aunt Dayzee , huh ? I like that .
Dayzee : Yeah , I do nt know . I feel like her aunt . I m just becoming so attached to her I m getting kind of attached to you , too .
Marcus : You say that like that s a bad thing .
Dayzee : No . It s not a bad thing . It s just new . I have to keep reminding myself she s Amber s daughter . Yes , you are .
Marcus : ( Chuckles ) Yes , but that does nt mean that you ca nt love her . All right . Come on .
Dayzee : ( Chuckles )
Marcus : She definitely loves that , huh ?
Dayzee : Yes . ( Laughs )
Marcus : You like all the love . Yes , you do . ( Silly voice ) You like all the love .
Rosey : ( Cries )
Marcus : ( Normal voice ) Oh , no , no , no . I know . I m just gon na take her away from you just for a second . She -- shell come back .
Dayzee : There you go . There you go .
Marcus : See ? I told you she loves Aunt Dayzee . ( Laughs )
Dayzee : ( Laughs )
Marcus : Come on . We got ta get you to bed . It s time for night - night . Time for your nap . Mm - hmm . Yes , it is . Daddy loves you . I love you . Yes , I do . Sweet dreams , little one , okay ? Come on . All right .
Dayzee : ( Sighs ) She is so lucky to have you in her life . And so am I.
Marcus : Hmm .
Taylor : Are you hoping that maybe Thorne and I will get together ?
Brooke : I m just making an observation . He obviously has feelings for you .
Taylor : Well , I let him down .
Brooke : No , you did nt support his foolish power play . You did him a favor . What he needs is a good woman in his life .
Taylor : ( Scoffs ) Well , not the woman I saw him with last night . ( Sighs ) Amber Moore .
Brooke : What ? No , Taylor . We ca nt let that happen .
Eric : Well , you re not gon na give up on this , are you ?
Ridge : It would nt be the first time you cheated on mother .
Eric : Oh , God , Ridge . I have nt cheated on your mother .
Ridge : Just stay the hell away from Jackie Marone .
Eric : ( Scoffs )
Ridge : Look , I get what you re going through , Dad . I know that mother s a challenge when she s healthy . But when she s not ... ( Sighs ) I know it s hard on you .
Eric : We ll work it out .
Ridge : Good . That s what I want to hear . Just do nt give up on her , Dad .
Stephanie : Alan , just put the bag there . Thanks so much . What a nice surprise !
Ridge : It s good to have you back , Mother .
Stephanie : Thank you , Sweetheart . Can you stay and visit a little while ?
Ridge : No , I have to go to work . But there is somebody else who s missing you .
Eric : Hello , Sweetheart . Welcome home .
Marcus : Got ta set the mood . ( Laughs ) Mm , all right .
Dayzee : This feels almost like a family
Marcus : Yeah , it does , raising Rosey out her on the beach . I want that for her . I want that for us .
Taylor : Well , I m sure Eric is thrilled to have Stephanie back home .
Ridge : Doc , I want to thank you again for the other day .
Taylor : Oh , Brooke already has .
Ridge : Your loyalty means everything to me .
Taylor : Well , just do right by our children . That s all I expect of you , Ridge .
Ridge : You know I will .
Taylor : And go easy on Thorne .
Ridge : O , do nt worry about Thorne .
Taylor : ( Sighs ) No .
Ridge : He ll land on his feet .
Taylor : No , Ridge , he s really suffering .
Brooke : Thorne does care about you but should nt have used you to try to unseat ridge .
Taylor : He feels like he s always being overshadowed by Ridge .
Ridge : Well , Taylor , that s no excuse . Thorne attempted a takeover , and it did nt work . My little brother just needs to get over it .
Taylor : Ridge , he feels unappreciated , and the way that you ve been treating him has nt helped him very much . Come on . Just give him a break . He s your brother . He is a very competent man , and he is an amazing human being .
Thorne : ( Sighs )
Thorne : ( Scoffs )
Eric : I ve got your-- your meds here .
Stephanie : Honey , I ll take them in a minute . I almost forgot . Thanks . I - I promise , I ll take em .
Eric : You did nt forget while you were in Washington , did you ?
Stephanie : No , no , no , although I d like to . I d like to forget all about medicine and cancer and all that stuff .
Eric : I m sure .
Stephanie : ( Sighs ) So what happened while I was gone ? Anything exciting ?
Eric : Nothing you need to know about . It s not good for me when you re away , Stephanie .
Stephanie : ( Chuckles ) Because I m such scintillating company ?
Eric : You re all the company I want . So how did the meetings go ?
Stephanie : It was good . Um , it was excellent , actually . Um , I was glad , really glad that I went . You know , it just sort of gives you a more realistic perspective of things that are going on .
Eric : Did you get to meet with both groups ?
Stephanie : Yeah , we had the cancer group in the morning . Then after lunch , we had the , uh , uh commission on the homeless .
Eric : Wait , you-- you ate lunch .
Stephanie : No , dont-- I m still not very hungry . I - I do nt have much of an appetite , really .
Eric : Well , I think I can fix that .
Stephanie : What do you mean ?
Eric : Pepper steak .
Stephanie : Oh .
Eric : Fry up some onions , a couple of baked potatoes . I ll let you help me fix the salad if you re up for it .
Stephanie : Oh , Honey , thank you very much . I m not hungry . I m just not . Um , I want to finish a couple more notes here , and then I m gon na turn in . It s been a long day .
Dayzee : Thanks , Anthony . Yeah , I ll see you a little later . Okay , sounds good .
Marcus : ( Sighs )
Dayzee : Bye .
Marcus : Everything okay at work ?
Dayzee : Of course . Anthony is in charge .
Marcus : Well , you did train him well .
Dayzee : I train all my men well .
Marcus : Ooh , feisty .
Dayzee : Mm - hmm . ( Chuckles )
Marcus : Mm . Did you train me to do that ?
Dayzee : ( Scoffs ) Do nt I wish . No , I just ca nt get enough of you .
Marcus : Is that a problem ?
Dayzee : No , I m just , you know , not used to it .
Marcus : You mean having someone care about you ?
Dayzee : Having someone extremely attractive care about me .
Marcus : Now you know I do nt believe that for one second .
Marcus : My beautiful , beautiful Dayzee
Dayzee : ( Sighs )
Thorne : ( Sighs )
Taylor : Hey .
Thorne : Hey .
Taylor : You busy ?
Thorne : Uh , just pushing papers like hell . Please tell me you re not here to apologize about last night .
Taylor : Why ? Did I ruin your evening or offend you ?
Thorne : No , but you did confuse me-- not that I m complaining .
Taylor : Seriously , Amber ?
Thorne : That s not who I wanted to be with , Taylor .
Taylor : Oh , she just happened to be there ? And you re always that open with chicks who walk up to you and kiss you in a bar ?
Thorne : ( Sighs ) Okay , you made your point . I would nt feel that way if Amber were kissing me .
Taylor : Well , that is nt why I was kissing you .
Thorne : Mm , no . You were just trying to take care of good old Thorne , but he can take care of himself .
Taylor : I know that . You ve been doing that for years . You re a fighter . That s what I admire about you , and , you know , you ve been through so much , and you just have the sweetest heart .
Ridge : Thorne s probably down in his office planning his next move .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) He s probably down here fantasizing about Taylor .
Ridge : Oh , come on . She has no interest in Thorne , does she ?
Brooke : Why not ? He s attractive and he s sensitive the next best thing to being Ridge .
Ridge : ( Laughs ) Well , you ve certainly got a way with words . I ll give you that .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) Hey , how about you and I get out of here , and we go home , and we crawl in bed ...
Ridge : Sounds like an excellent plan .
Brooke : Yeah , you want to ?
Ridge : Yes . But first , I do need to go check on mother .
Brooke : Oh .
Eric : You ready to call it a day yet ?
Stephanie : ( Chuckles ) You know , suddenly , I m not so tired .
Eric : Oh , that s a good sign . Dinner s still an option .
Stephanie : No , you go ahead . I - I know you . You re starving .
Eric : No . ( Chuckles ) I do nt want to eat alone .
Stephanie : I ll keep you company , but I had something on the plane .
Eric : Uh - huh . Peanuts and a dry martini ?
Stephanie : ( Laughs ) No . Actually , they gave me a very nice lunch . They spoiled me .
Eric : Good . You should be spoiled . You give a lot of yourself to these projects of yours .
Stephanie : I think it s what keeps me going .
Eric : Well , do nt forget , there s a lot more to life than just work .
Stephanie : I ll try and remember that . ( Sighs )
Eric : Mm . I missed you .
Stephanie : Since when have you become so needy ?
Eric : Oh , you know me . I do nt do so well on my own .
Stephanie : Well , you better watch that . You do nt want to become too dependent on any one person . ( Sighs )
Eric : Always so strong , are nt you ? You know what an attractive trick that is ?
Stephanie : I ve always thought maybe it was just a form of self - protection .
Eric : Yeah , well , it s always good to have-- have someone who has your back . And I will always have yours . Time for bed .
Stephanie : Mm .
Eric : I ll be upstairs waiting .
Dayzee : Mm , thank you , Stephanie .
Marcus : Stephanie ?
Dayzee : ( Laughs ) Do nt make that face .
Marcus : ( Laughs ) What ?
Dayzee : I m just saying , if it were nt for her , I would nt have you in my life .
Marcus : Well , I guess you re right .
Dayzee : Mm - hmm .
Marcus : If you and Stephanie never connected , then I guess we never would have met .
Dayzee : Exactly . I meant unless you lived out on the streets . I owe her so much .
Thorne : I m , uh , feeling something .
Taylor : Oh ? Hmm .
Thorne : Yeah , a change in you .
Taylor : I m just seeing things very , very clearly .
Thorne : Yeah ? What are you seeing , Taylor ?
Taylor : I m seeing a man I admire and I respect . And the way you-- you ve stood up for me and -- and my family ... ( Sighs ) It s just -- I do nt know . It s amazing . ( Stammers ) It makes me feel like I m cared for , you know ? I almost forgot what that feels like . Almost . But not anymore .
Brooke : Your mother and father have to work through this on their own . They will . They always have .
Ridge : I want them to have what we have , Logan-- look at each other , appreciate everything , everything that we ve got . You do nt build a life together on good times alone . God knows , you and I have learned that .
Brooke : Yes . And I m sure they have , too . You know , your father s been there for your mother through this whole cancer ordeal , and he loves her , and she is the woman he wants . He adores her .
Ridge : I sure hope so .
Eric : Ahh , the lady has arrived .
Stephanie : Where did you get those ?
Eric : I had them made while you were away . May I have this dance ? Or would you like to get more comfortable first ? The evening is ours .
Stephanie : Eric , what is this ? This is so ridiculous , you wearing those silly black pajamas . I mean , this is so ... I do nt know , so childish . Are nt you ever gon na grow up ?

### Dialogue:
Brady : Hold on . Hold on .
Brady : [ Sighs ] Hold on . [ Clears throat ] Summer , you alright ?
Summer : I went back to my place and there was no way I could sleep , so I thought I d go for a walk and I ended up here . You threw a hell of a lot at me today .
Brady : I kno -- I know .
Summer : Like you recognized me from in dreams ? Do you know how weird that is ?
Brady : Yeah , I-- it s weird .
Summer : And then I asked you about Daniel-- and I know there s no real great way to tell me that he s dead , and that you have his heart , and that if it turns out that he is my brother , that you know the woman that might be my mom !
Brady : Summer . Could -- could you slow down just a little bit ? It s -- it s late .
Summer : I guess you did nt have any trouble sleeping . [ Stammers ] What s the matter ? You do nt like me for real as much as you like me in your dreams ?
Rafe : How could you have killed the wrong man ?
Hope : I got a call from Victor tonight . You know about his younger brother , right ? The one he did nt talk about ? The one that went to prison ?
Rafe : Deimos . The department already has him under surveillance .
Hope : Yeah , well , he blames Victor for having him sent up .
Rafe : What does this have to do with you and Stefano ?
Hope : Because Victor says he can prove that Deimos and Dr. Malcolm were in cahoots .
Rafe : Okay .
Hope : But Malcolm only cared about the drug that Victor was developing , but Deimos ... now Deimos , what if he saw getting his hands on the drugs the best way to destroy Victor ? My God , Rafe , what if Deimos had Bo tortured and kidnapped ? What if I avenged Bo s death by killing the wrong man ?
Rafe : Let s not jump to any conclusions .
Hope : Rafe , you and I both know I wanted it to be Stefano .
Rafe : Now why would nt you ?
Hope : He was unarmed , Rafe .
Rafe : Yeah , he still commanded an army of goons . He d been trying to kill you for years . You know , it does nt matter . I still like Stefano for Bo s kidnapping . I do nt give a damn what Victor Kiriakis says .
Hope : It s not just what Victor said , there s more .
Rafe : Like what ?
Hope : I got another call tonight ... and whoever it was did nt speak above a whisper . The voice said , I killed the wrong man .
Rafe : We did nt take André into questioning until today . It could ve been him . He was just trying to mess with your head .
Hope : What if it was someone who was trying to lead me toward Deimos ?
Rafe : Well , we ll never know .
Hope : I ll find out !
Rafe : No , you will not find out . Now , you listen to me , okay ? You need to lay low . I mean , thankfully roman has let us off . Even if you are right , you can not do anything about this , okay ? If you are absolutely right , you can not go-- you can not go after Deimos Kiriakis .
JJ : Hey , what are you doing here ?
Gabi : I was just at a photoshoot and I was gon na grab a bite to eat . That s not true . That s not true . Your car was parked outside that s why I wanted to come in .
JJ : Maybe you should ve kept walking .
Gabi : Bad day ?
JJ : Yeah .
Gabi : Well , Lani s right . You re gon na be a great cop .
JJ : How do you know that ?
Gabi : Because I remember the first time that I ran into you . I was over by the docks and some creep was hassling me and you told him to get lost . You protected me ... and I m never gon na forget that .
JJ : Would you , uh-- [ Chuckles ] Would you like to dance ?
Gabi : Yeah . All along just you and me this love is a storm
JJ : Thank you for saying that . That wo nt go
Gabi : Listen , whatever s troubling you today , it s gon na be better tomorrow .
JJ : Look , I do nt know about tomorrow , but right now feels better than I ever thought it would .
Gabi : [ Chuckles ] Love me again and again
Dario : Nicole . Hey .
Nicole : Hi . I thought I d come in for last call , but , uh ... this bar is not happening .
Dario : Yeah , the regulars checked out early . What s left are the lost souls with no place to go and people who ca nt sleep .
Nicole : Looks like I came to the right place . I fit in both of those groups .
Dario : Let me buy you a drink . Vodka martini straight up ?
Nicole : I m more of a wine girl these days .
Dario : Oh . A lot s changed since the cheatin heart .
Nicole : You do nt know the half of it .
Summer : Thanks . All that walking it ... dried my throat out .
Brady : Just so you know , uh , I was asleep , but ... I was nt dreaming of you . It s actually the first night in a long time that I have nt been dreaming . Have nt had many restful nights since the accident . But , tonight , I put my head on my pillow , I was out like a light .
Summer : [ Chuckles ] Well , dragging a drunk chick out of the ocean I guess helped put you right to sleep , huh ?
Brady : I m glad I was there .
Brady : I know . You want to tell me why ?
Summer : [ Crying ] I m just so damn lonely ... [ Sniffling ] And I -- I looked at the water and I thought , what s the difference ? My whole life I ve been drowning .
Hope : Do nt worry . I m not gon na go rogue again .
Rafe : You promise ?
Hope : Maybe I was hoping if I could just get something on Deimos that-- Rafe , if Stefano was nt behind Bo s kidnapping , I m never gon na sleep another night .
Rafe : Well , I m still amazed at how strong you ve been through all of this .
Hope : It s all an act . I was falling apart inside . Six months have been the worst-- worst times of my life .
Rafe : Still standing , though , are nt ya ?
Hope : [ Sighs ]
Rafe : Oh , great . It s roman . He wants me to come down to the station right away .
Hope : Better not keep the man waiting .
Rafe : [ Chuckles ] Listen to me . Do nt worry about what you did to Stefano . Nothing s gon na happen to you . André s not gon na come after you , nor is the system , and nor is God , all right ? Think about all the lives you saved by getting rid of him . You do nt have to worry about him anymore and neither does anyone else .
Dario : Gabi s modeling again ?
Nicole : Kate Roberts hired her for basic black .
Dario : Really ?
Nicole : Mm - hmm .
Dario : Even after she did a bit in prison ?
Nicole : We all thought she deserved a second chance .
Dario : That s -- that s awesome .
Nicole : She s a natural . The camera loves Gabi , and you know what ? If you want I can text you a few pictures .
Dario : That d be great .
Nicole : Hiring Gabi was Kate s idea .
Dario : Well , Arianna s her granddaughter .
Nicole : Yes . Wow , even Kate s capable of doing the decent thing once in a blue moon .
Dario : You do nt get along with her ?
Nicole : Uh ... you know , I was partners with her for a while at basic black and so was Theresa . You know , that woman that I came in with before ? The three of us did nt get along , but , luckily , Kate bought us out , and now Theresa and I are starting our own clothing line .
Dario : Theresa , that s , uh-- that s Brady s girlfriend ?
Nicole : She wants to be . She is the mother of Brady s son and Brady wants him to grow up in a loving , stable family .
Dario : What does Theresa want ?
Nicole : The same thing . She s crazy about that little boy .
Dario : That s cool . So , tell me the name of your new company .
Nicole : DJ wear .
Dario : Like disc jockey ?
Nicole : As in , uh ... Daniel Jonas .
Dario : Oh , Melanie s dad ? Right . Is he your partner too ?
Nicole : You do nt know ?
Dario : Know what ?
Nicole : Oh , I , uh ... I thought maybe ... Gabi or Rafe told you .
Dario : No , I - I have nt talked to them since I got back from Argentina .
Nicole : Daniel , uh ... he s -- well , he died . Hm .
Dario : What ?
Nicole : In a car crash . We were engaged and ... we were supposed to be married on valentine s day . And I do nt know if I ll ever get over losing him . [ Chuckles ] Oh , God , I m sorry .
Dario : No .
Nicole : I m so sorry . I should nt put this on you .
Dario : No , no , no .
Nicole : I m sure you get sob stories in this place .
Dario : No , no , no . This is -- this is so much more than a sob story . [ Sighs ] Melanie , she must be a wreck .
Nicole : She is ... but we just keep telling each other how ... lucky we are to have known Daniel as long as we did . Maybe some day that ll help .
Dario : I m truly sorry for your loss .
Nicole : To Daniel ... and all my memories . [ Laughs ]
Dario : To Daniel .
Nicole : So , I have a question for you .
Dario : Go for it .
Nicole : That girl , Summer ... do you know what she meant to Daniel ?
Brady : You re not drowning anymore . I can-- I can take care of you .
Summer : [ Scoffs ] Why would you do that ? Let s get real here . I could be working you . Giving you this line how Daniel and I are friends and that he thinks that I m his sister .
Brady : You could be , but that would nt be very smart cause I could just check you out with Fynn .
Summer : Tell me about Daniel s mother . Maggie .
Brady : Maggie . Well , she s my , uh , AA sponsor for one thing .
Summer : [ Laughs ] A guy like you ? You re -- you re a drunk ?
Brady : No , coke was my thing .
Summer : Whoa .
Brady : Maggie was always there when I needed her ... but she never took any crap from me when she knew that I d been using . She s full of life . Full of truth . Probably one of most loving people that I know . And strong . She s -- she s so strong , but I do nt know how she s gon na get past losing Daniel . I thought maybe getting to know you ... might help her do that .
Summer : [ Chuckles ] If I am his sister-- and that s a big if .
Brady : Would nt be a complicated thing to find out for sure .
Summer : And if I m not his sister ? Then you ll dump me and so will this Maggie . I will be back to square one .
Brady : Summer ... I wo nt let you down . I promise . No matter what .
Summer : I do nt need your charity . My life s been hard , but it s been my life .
Brady : I understand , but it s not charity to me . I owe this to Daniel .
Summer : He s dead ! He ll never know ! Besides , I do nt like small towns like Salem . You can be invisible here if you want to be .
Brady : What if the time comes that you do nt want to be invisible ? You have any friends here ?
Summer : I ve got friends . Dario s my friend . He listens to me . He does nt judge me , either .
Brady : What about family ?
Summer : I told you ... my folks are dead .
Brady : Were they good parents ?
Summer : [ Sighs ] They were too strict , but they said it was because they loved me .
Brady : Summer , Salem is-- is full of good people . You might like it there .
Summer : Are you kidding me ?
Brady : It does nt mean you d have to give up your whole life here .
Summer : Do you really want me to come there ?
Brady : You could fly there tomorrow with Nicole and Theresa and me . I would like you to come . What do you say ?
Dario : All I know about Summer and Daniel is what she told me . She s not what I d call ... together .
Nicole : [ Scoffs ] Yeah , I got that . What d she say ?
Dario : Just that Daniel was a good friend and that he protected her .
Nicole : From what ?
Dario : From herself mostly . I mean , she can go from laughing to screaming her head off in two seconds flat . Couple times I ve had to threaten to kick her out of here , but she said Daniel never lost it with her . She said he was the most patient man she ever met .
Nicole : She s right about that .
Dario : What are you not asking me ?
Nicole : Maybe I do nt want to know the answer .
Dario : Come on . We both know that s not you . You used to be a reporter .
Nicole : Okay . Did it ever get romantic between Summer and Daniel ?
Dario : If it did , she s keeping it to herself . Drunk or sober , she only talked about Daniel as the best friend she ever had .
Summer : Sure , I ll do it . Why not ? I ve got nothing going on right here right now anyway .
Brady : And you ll meet with Maggie ?
Summer : Why not ? Even if she s not my ... birth mother , she was Daniels . I can pay my respects .
Brady : Sounds good .
Summer : So , we flying first class ?
Brady : No , um , private jet if that s okay .
Summer : Get out ! What is that like ? You show up at 9 : 00 A.M. Tomorrow morning , and you ll find out .
Summer : 9 : 00 A.M. ? Well , I d better get home and pack .
Brady : Hey . Hey . Um--
Summer : What ?
Brady : I want to know that ... you re gon na be okay tonight . I just , uh-- I do nt want you taking long walks on the-- on the shore tonight . And if you re afraid to be alone , I hope you ll tell me because this makes out into a bed . If you need that .
Summer : I ll be fine . I am flying on a private jet plane tomorrow morning . I would have to be nuts to try and kill myself tonight .
Brady : So I will see you tomorrow morning ? 9 : 00 A.M.
Summer : You got it .
Brady : Okay . Oh .
Summer : Oh . I forgive you for saving my life .
Brady : Hey , I m -- I m so-- [ Sighs ] I m sorry if we woke you .
Theresa : I sure hope you know what you re doing .
Brady : Oh , Theresa , so do I.
Theresa : You ever find your sobriety chip ?
Brady : No . No , I must ve lost it in the ocean when I was busy dragging her out of it . We re , uh , leaving tomorrow .
Theresa : And I m guessing Summer s coming with us , is nt she ?
Brady : If she does nt change her mind .
Theresa : [ Scoffs ] She wo nt .
Rafe : Hey .
Roman : Hey , come in .
Roman : Sit down .
Rafe : [ Sighs ] What d you want to see me about ?
Roman : Stefano DiMera s murder .
Rafe : Yeah , well , hope said that you questioned André and you re satisfied that he s responsible . Thought the case was closed .
Roman : You thought wrong .
Rafe : Everything I know about Stefano s murder is already in that case file .
Roman : Really ? Does that include ... everything you know about hope s activities ?
Rafe : Why would nt it be ?
Roman : Because you care as much about her as I do . [ Sighs ] Rafe , you ve already lost your badge once by covering a crime your sister committed . When I reinstated you , I had very high hopes something like this would nt happen .
Rafe : André DiMera s a psychopath who s already killed before . He stands to benefit from Stefano s death more than anyone else . Anyone except Chad . He s guilty .
Roman : Of many things . On that much , we agree .
Rafe : Anything else , boss ?
Roman : No .
Brady : You saw the hug .
Theresa : Yeah , I sure did .
Brady : Summer is impulsive . It did nt mean anything .
Theresa : Oh , come on . Please , I am not threatened by Summer Townsend , all right ? But I am worried about the father of my child who s still recovering from a heart transplant ... taking on a rescue project like Summer .
Brady : She s not a ... rescue project .
Theresa : Oh , come on , I know a project when I see one , okay ? I mean , I , too , have required some saving from time to time . But you know what I finally got through my thick skull after Tate was born ? That you have to learn how to swim in this world . Otherwise , you re just gon na keep dragging people down trying to stay afloat .
Brady : She was important to Daniel .
Theresa : Yeah , according to her . I mean , you do nt know , maybe -- maybe Daniel wrote her off , maybe she s ... making this whole business up about being his biological sister .
Brady : I m just doing what Daniel wanted to do for her .
Theresa : Mm - hmm and it s the best thing that ever happened to little old Summer . All right , do nt think that she s not gon na try to use that against you .
Brady : Theresa , come on , give me some credit . I sobered up and saw through you . Did nt I ?
Theresa : Mm - hmm , I put you through enough . I m just saying I want you to use your time and energy to focus on your own recovery . All right ? Some hot mess like Summer Townsend .
Brady : I just-- I just want to get her back to Salem so she can find out if Maggie is her birth mother .
Theresa : Yeah , and what if Maggie is her birth mother ? Do nt you think Maggie has a right to say whether or not Summer knows about that ?
Brady : I ca nt imagine Maggie would nt want to know her own child . Especially considering the fact that she just lost one .
Nicole : Do you ever miss Salem ?
Dario : Was nt there long enough to miss it . Brady did nt think it was good for Melanie , so he hired me at Titan got me promoted to the office in Buenos Aires .
Nicole : Where you worked your way to the top .
Dario : You checked me out ?
Nicole : [ Laughs ] Brady said you had a good head for business . So how come you chucked it all to tend bar ?
Dario : Just cause you re good at something , does nt mean you want to do it .
Nicole : Hm .
Dario : And I need some time to figure out what I wanted to do .
Nicole : And have you ?
Dario : Tell you one thing , got a closet full of suits and ties I plan on getting rid of .
Nicole : Oh . Corporate world s not for you , huh ?
Dario : I like money as much as the next guy , but I m not willing to sell my soul to get it .
Nicole : [ Laughs ] I do nt think you found your calling in a beach bar , either .
Dario : Oh , there are worse places to figure things out .
Nicole : Hm .
Dario : So when you going back to Salem ?
Nicole : Early tomorrow morning .
Dario : Hm , that s too bad . Tomorrow s my day off , could ve given you the Hollywood tour . [ Nicole laughs ] Stars on the sidewalk , footprints in the cement , the whole bit . I even know a place where you can get five crummy t - shirts for ten bucks .
Nicole : Ohh , gosh , as tempting as that sounds , I m -- I m gon na have to pass . It s time for me to get back in the real world and get back to work . So , how much do I owe you ?
Dario : It s on the house .
Nicole : Well , thank you . And if your journey of self - discovery ever ... finds you back in Salem , next round s on me .
Dario : I ll remember that .
Nicole : I ll tell Rafe and Gabi you look good . Must run in the family . Bye .
Rafe : Oh , good , you re here .
Hope : Hey . Yeah , come on in .
Rafe : Thanks .
Hope : Um ... what you said earlier , it really helped a lot .
Rafe : Good .
Hope : No , I m -- I m serious ... and I m very hungry , actually . You , too , I hope .
Rafe : I thought I smelled something .
Hope : Yeah , remember that barbecue place we staked out last Summer ?
Rafe : How could I forget a place called when pigs fly south ?
Hope : Actually , it was north , but--[Laughs ]
Rafe : No , it was nt .
Hope : Anyway , I wanted to try it and I ordered a bunch of food for Ciara , JJ , and Jen , but they re out . Have you had dinner ?
Rafe : Matter of fact I m starving .
Hope : Great . Go on in and I ll get it out of the bag . [ Laughs ]
Rafe : Okay .
Hope : Okay . [ Cell phone ringing ] Hernandez .
Dario : Hey , it s me . How s it going ?
Rafe : Dario ?
Dario : Your one and only kid brother .
Rafe : What the-- what , you take a vow of silence or something ? Where the hell are you ?
Dario : L.A.
Rafe : [ Laughs ] L.A. How long you been there ?
Dario : Uh , little bit over a year .
Rafe : Oh , that s great . The first time that you ve called me .
Dario : If you give me a hard time , I m not gon na call anymore .
Rafe : So why you calling me now ? You okay ?
Dario : You always think there s something wrong , and you wonder why I do nt call .
Rafe : Dario , listen , I m not trying to pick a fight with you . It s just -- I m glad you called . I , uh ... you know . Just wondering , why now ?
Dario : I decided to check in . All right ? So stop interrogating me and tell me how you , Gabi , and the baby are doing .
JJ : Wait , I - I thought I was walking you home . Did nt we , uh , have to turn left back there ?
Gabi : Yeah , I know . I know . I know .
JJ : Well , you know I do nt have a problem taking the long way . That s -- that s for sure .
Gabi : Listen .
JJ : Hm .
Gabi : I think that you and I have been dancing around something for quite some time now and I think it s time for us to stop dancing .
JJ : What do you mean ?
Gabi : I was in the ladies room and I happen to call the babysitter and asked if she could stay with Arianna overnight .
JJ : And what did she say ?
Gabi : She said that she could and so my second call was to the Salem inn .
JJ : You sure about this ?
Theresa : He did ? Oh , okay , well , you tell that kid that he is under strict orders not to take his first step until we get back .
Brady : Wha--
Theresa : Okay , yeah . I ll see you tomorrow .
Brady : Excuse me , Tate tried to walk ?
Theresa : No , but -- okay , Emma was going to get him up from his nap , and he was standing up in his crib all by himself .
Brady : You re ki-- he s ready to walk .
Theresa : Yeah .
Brady : Oh , we got to get home . We got to get home .
Theresa : Oh , God , this is the longest I ve ever been away from him .
Brady : I know . I miss that guy so much .
Theresa : Mm - hmm .
Brady : I did nt miss that howl that he makes at night when he s wet or hungry or just wants to remind us who s in charge .
Theresa : Yeah .
Brady : You know , he reminds me a lot of you in that particular moment .
Theresa : Wha -- hey !
Brady : [ Chuckles ] I miss that guy ...
Theresa : I know .
Brady : So much .
Theresa : Hey , you know , I m sorry that I made that fuss earlier about Summer .
Theresa : I just-- Brady , I never thought that I would be this happy . Um ... Tate and I , we almost lost you and I just -- I do nt want anything bad to happen .
Brady : Hey , hey ... nothing s gon na happen .
Theresa : [ Sighs ] Gee , I wonder who that might be .
Nicole : Hi .
Theresa : Hey , what are you doing here ?
Nicole : I just thought I d come by and say good - night .
Theresa : Oh .
Nicole : So , uh , you ve had quite a day . How are you feeling ?
Brady : I m -- I m tired , but I m fine .
Nicole : Okay , do you want to talk to the cardiologist that Fynn recommended , or ...
Brady : No , I m gon na check in with Fynn personally because we re gon na go back tomorrow .
Nicole : Oh , um , can I catch a ride on the charter ?
Brady : What do you think ? Of course .
Theresa : Yeah .
Brady : We re gon na leave at 9 : 00 in the morning . So the four of us can meet here .
Nicole : Uh , there s only three of us .
Brady : Not anymore . Summer has decided to come back to Salem with us .
Hope : Who you talking to ? I m sorry . Forgive me . Nosey . Beer ?
Rafe : My kid brother .
Hope : Really ?
Rafe : Yeah .
Hope : Wow . It s been a while , right ?
Rafe : It s been a long while .
Hope : Did you tell him about your father being in Salem ?
Rafe : I did .
Hope : What d he say ?
Rafe : Not much really .
Hope : Think it ll bring him back to , uh -- to visit ?
Rafe : Who the hell knows ? He was pretty young when my dad took off . I do nt really know how he feels about him . Maybe he ll come back , though .
Hope : Yeah .
Rafe : Right ? You never know . And then maybe I can talk to my mom , she d come back . We d have like a big family reunion .
Hope : Would that be a good thing ?
Rafe : Probably not . No . But I do nt really want to talk about it right now , I m just gon na drink this beer and enjoy myself . What do you say ? Hm ? Why do nt we try to put all our troubles behind us for a minute . Yes ?
Hope : We can give it our best shot .
Rafe : Good , cause this chicken smells damn good .
Hope : Cause I did nt cook it . [ Laughs ] So my kids do nt have to forage ,
Nicole : How did Summer talk you in to taking her back to Salem ?
Brady : She did nt . I talked her into it .
Nicole : May I ask why ?
Brady : [ Sighs ] Because Daniel thought that there s a possibility Summer is Maggie s daughter .
Nicole : How do you know Daniel thought that ?
Theresa : Yeah , that s exactly what I said .
Nicole : But if he was looking into something like this , he would ve told me .
Brady : Do nt you think he would ve kept it quiet until he was positive ? So Maggie would nt find out too soon ?
Nicole : Probably . I guess it s a good thing we came here .
Theresa : You think ?
Nicole : What if Summer s Daniel s last gift to his mother ?
Roman : Come in .
Lani : Sorry to bother you .
Roman : I thought you d clocked out .
Lani : I did and then I remembered you asked for this . Still working on the DiMera murder ?
Roman : Not anymore . Case is closed . Let it go , officer .
Lani : Yes , sir .
Hope : Thank you . I just -- you know , thank you for staying for dinner . For not letting me eat alone .
Rafe : Oh , come on . Thanks for asking me . It was good . I should get going .
Hope : It s been a long day .
Rafe : Mm . Yeah . You know , uh ... try not to think about what Victor said . All right ?
Hope : I ll do my best . Hey , Rafe ...
Rafe : Yeah ?
Hope : Before you go , I just-- just want to say ... thank you .
Rafe : Thank you for ... what ?
Hope : For making it possible for me to have a future with my kids ... and to , maybe , um ... look forward to tomorrow .
Rafe : Yeah . I would do it again anytime . No regrets , right ? For either one of us .
Hope : I really want to believe that s possible .

### Dialogue:
Rick : Thomas is gone ? Since when ?
Ridge : The jet took him to Paris the other day .
Rick : For what ?
Maya : I - I thought he was staying in Los Angeles .
Ridge : Change of plans .
Rick : Does Steffy know about this ?
Ridge : [ Groans ]
Rick : Oh . So , this was all your doing , Ridge . I mean , what the hell ? We need Thomas here .
Ridge : I need him in Paris .
Maya : Well , what about the line ?
Caroline : Thomas can work with us from Paris .
Rick : Why ? Do you realize how much of a hassle that s gon na be ?
Ridge : As much of a hassle as having someone run International from here . Caroline and I are designing together . I m her partner , not Thomas .
Carter : Come on , man . Let s go . This is a warm - up set . Let s do it . Come on . One more rep . One more rep . One more rep , dude !
Zende : [ Groans ] I m beat , man . I m done .
Carter : That s what you get for skipping breakfast -- all these late nights with Nicole .
Zende : It s definitely worth it . I love spending time with her .
Carter : You two are going strong , huh ?
Zende : I like her -- maybe even more than that .
Carter : Good for you , man . I m glad to hear it .
Zende : Yeah . Be interesting to see what ends up happening .
Carter : What s to worry about ? Seems like it s all good to me .
Zende : I m not supposed to say anything .
Carter : Well , uh , look at it like attorney - client privilege .
Zende : All right . Maya asked Nicole for a ... favor -- pretty big one .
Carter : What kind of favor ?
Zende : She asked Nicole to be her surrogate .
Maya : I know that this is a huge thing for me to ask , but it would be the best and biggest gift that you could possibly give me . Would you be my surrogate ? Would you have our baby ?
Brooke : Oh ! Hi ! I did nt know anybody was in here .
Nicole : Oh , Brooke , hi . Um , I was just dropping off some prints .
Brooke : You okay ?
Nicole : Just a lot of things on my mind .
Brooke : I do nt mean to pry , but if you need anybody to talk to , I m here .
Nicole : You know what ? Actually , there is something -- a decision I need to make -- and it has to do with my sister and your son .
Rick : I m not CEO anymore . It s not my call . But shipping Thomas to Paris -- huge mistake .
Ridge : It had to be done .
Maya : But his designs have been so impressive lately . And what about what you created with California --
Ridge : He s still designing . Am I not making myself clear ? I m sorry .
Rick : But why do you have to ship him to Paris ?
Ridge : Because Paris is the center of the universe for the fashion industry . You know that , do nt you ? We need someone on the ground ... and anticipating trends -- it s important .
Rick : Yeah , but , Ridge , I --
Ridge : I made a decision . It s the right decision . I do nt want to talk about it anymore .
Carter : She what ?
Zende : Maya asked Nicole to give Rick and her a child .
Carter : Just like that ?
Zende : I mean , I m sure it s been on their minds . And since Maya ca nt get pregnant herself ...
Carter : What , her sister s the next best thing ?
Zende : Half Avant , half Forrester .
Carter : [ Sighs ] What did Nicole say ? Is she gon na do it ?
Zende : Has nt ruled it out .
Carter : Really ?
Zende : Guess it shows how much she loves her sister , to even consider it , you know ?
Carter : Okay . Yeah . Yeah . It s cool that Nicole s considering it . If you ask my opinion , man , there is no way she should say yes .
Brooke : But Maya and Rick have never been happier . Please do nt tell me there s something wrong .
Nicole : Oh , no . No , no . It s nothing bad . It has to do with Rick and Maya wanting to start a family .
Brooke : Yeah . I know that they ve wanted to have children for quite some time . In fact , Rick is researching adoption .
Nicole : [ Chuckles ] Yeah . I - I assumed they d go that route , too .
Brooke : But they re not ?
Nicole : Maya wants to use a surrogate .
Brooke : Okay . Well , that s -- that s another way to go about it . It s quite common these days .
Nicole : Yes , but ... she has someone particular in mind . She wants me to be their surrogate .
Rick : Are you sure that Pam is nt having us tailed ?
Maya : [ Chuckles ]
Rick : I could swear there was a suspicious car following us down Robertson , and the guy driving -- dead ringer for Charlie . I mean , he had a mustache , but he looked just like him .
Maya : You know , Pam has been a little protective of us lately , but I think maybe your imagination s getting the best of you .
Rick : Well , if only you knew what it was doing right now .
Maya : Ohh . I bet I could take a wild guess .
Rick : You still have nt ...
Maya : [ Laughs ]
Rick : ... Told me why we re home . Spend some alone time with your hubby ?
Maya : I would love that .
Rick : Then what are we waiting for ?
Maya : [ Chuckles ] Well , I think we might want to wait until our visitor leaves .
Rick : Visitor ?
Maya : Yes . I invited a fertility specialist over . You know that I ve been looking online about surrogacy , but I think we need a little more information . So , I pulled some strings , and I called a highly regarded specialist , and she agreed to see us .
Rick : I think that s fantastic ! I ca nt wait to meet her . Should we ask Nicole to come by ?
Maya : No . No , no , no , no . No . I do nt want to pressure her at all . She s still deciding if she s gon na agree to do it . I want us to be parents , Rick . But more than anything , I want to make sure we re going about this the right way .
Brooke : Maya wants you to be the surrogate ?
Nicole : That way their child can be both a Forrester and an Avant , since Maya ca nt have her own .
Brooke : Obviously , Rick is aware of this , right ?
Nicole : Yes . They discussed it before she asked me . I take it you do nt support the idea .
Brooke : No . No . It s not that . It s just [ Sighs ] I - I m a little surprised . That s all . This is the first time I m hearing of this . What about you ? How do you feel about it ?
Nicole : I am still trying to figure that out .
Brooke : They re not pressuring you , are they ?
Nicole : No , no , no . Not at all . It s just ... a lot to think about .
Brooke : Yeah . Yeah , it certainly is . And you re young . And you and Zende have been getting closer . I think it s kind of odd that Maya put you in this position .
Nicole : Well , I love my sister , and I would do anything for her .
Brooke : No , I know . I - I understand that . It s just that ... you d be getting pregnant , and it would be Rick s baby ... and then you would give birth to this child , a child that would be biologically yours . It s -- it s a lot to ask .
Nicole : But it would make Maya so happy . It d be the ultimate gift I could give to them . Rick and Maya have done so much for me , and I want to help them . I want to do this for them . But it s a lot to go through , and -- and I do nt want to lose Zende .
Zende : If Nicole says yes , agrees to be Maya s surrogate , there s no doubt that it s going to impact our relationship .
Carter : How could it not ? Nicole s life would change forever .
Zende : She would nt be the mother . It would be Rick and Maya s child .
Carter : Yeah , in theory , but we re not talking about just carrying a baby around for nine months or giving birth . What about the hormones , the mixed emotions ? Think that ll be easy on Nicole , on you ?
Zende : No .
Carter : You guys are getting hot and heavy , right ? You re taking it to the next level ? Okay . Well , I hate to be the one to bring this up , but can you imagine Nicole having another man s baby -- your uncle s baby ?
Zende : Great . I had nt even thought about that .
Carter : You need to be realistic about this .
Zende : I know . I m crazy about her . I want to get close to her , not pull away . But I m afraid if she does this ... I just do nt want anything to come between us .
Caroline : I m worried about you .
Ridge : I m fine . I m just tired of Rick asking stupid questions . That s all .
Caroline : Well , he is head of International , so I -- you know , and Maya s the lead model . I think it s okay that they asked where Thomas went so abruptly .
Ridge : I do nt want to talk about Thomas . I want to talk about you . How are you feeling ? Okay ?
Caroline : I m fine . I think that we have to talk about Thomas --
Ridge : I just said I do nt want to hear his name , please .
Caroline : Look , I understand you have every right to be as upset as you are .
Ridge : Yeah . What he did was unforgivable .
Caroline : I m not disagreeing with you . But he s your son . And I know that in spite of everything that happened , I - I know that you still love him .
Ridge : I could nt -- I could nt stand looking at him . That s why I sent him to Paris .
Caroline : For how long ? I mean --
Ridge : I have nt decided .
Caroline : You re his father . You have to start thinking about maybe eventually forgiving him .
Ridge : I ca nt . I ca nt forgive him .
Maya : Rick and I have nt had much privacy over the last few months , and we really appreciate you making the house call .
Dr. March : Fertility is a very private , personal matter , and I often make exceptions for my higher - profile clients .
Rick : This is all so new . We just recently started looking at the options .
Dr. March : But you mentioned you re considering surrogacy .
Rick : Yes .
Maya : Yeah . Um , obviously , I m sure you know a little bit about my medical history . Obviously , I ca nt get pregnant or carry a child . But we would like it if the baby had Rick s genes .
Dr. March : Well , there are a few ways to make that happen . One is to use an egg donor . It s usually anonymous , so it s discreet , and Rick would still be the biological father .
Maya : That s a great possibility . We re hoping that maybe the baby could have some of my genes , too .
Rick : It would mean a lot to both of us if ... Maya could have some biological bond with our child .
Maya : Yeah . And we realize it s an enormous request and a huge commitment to ask a woman to carry someone else s child . So , that s why we want all the details about surrogacy , particularly because the woman we asked is my sister .
Brooke : You re worried about losing Zende ?
Nicole : I really like him . And we ve only recently started becoming more serious .
Brooke : So , you do nt think he d be supportive ?
Nicole : I think Zende and I have a lot of potential for the first time in my life , and I want to see where it goes . I do nt want it to end .
Brooke : Why would it have to end ?
Nicole : Think about it . Nine months is a really long time .
Brooke : Yeah , that s true . But this would be your decision , your choice only . And if Zende does nt admire you now , which I know he does , he s only going to admire you even more once he finds out how generous you are , how kind , how compassionate , how much you want to do for your sister . Why would nt he want to be with a wonderful woman like you ?
Nicole : I m not sure guys think like that -- especially guys my age .
Brooke : Zende s an outstanding person . He s very mature for his age . And he has a very kind , very ... open heart . So ... he might just surprise you .
Nicole : I d like to think so , but ... if I get pregnant with Rick and Maya s baby , I do nt know if Zende will be able to look at me or touch me in the same way .
Zende : You re right . I have to be real about this .
Carter : If you do nt speak up now , it ll cause problems down the line . Besides , Nicole wants you to be honest with her . She does nt need you telling her what you think she wants to hear . That does nt do anybody any good .
Zende : I hate being selfish . I - I hate thinking about how I d be affected . But if Nicole were to say yes , be pregnant with their baby , I do nt see how this could nt change things for us .
Ridge : Just the thought of him taking advantage of you , I ...
Caroline : Look , I m not excusing anybody s behavior here , but if you could just consider the circumstances --
Ridge : The circumstances ? What are the circumstances ? We broke up . You went to a hotel to be alone ... drank wine , took pills , and next thing you know , he -- and I did that . I put you in that position .
Caroline : God ! Will you please stop ? ! Do nt do that !
Ridge : You were vulnerable , and that s not something I should have done .
Caroline : Yeah , but Thomas did nt know that .
Ridge : Of course , he knew . What do you mean , he did nt know ? He took advantage of you . He betrayed you , and he betrayed me , and I ca nt forgive that . How can I ? The only good thing that came out of any of that is -- is the baby , our baby . And I ll try not to screw it up this time .
Caroline : Oh , please do nt say that . You are a wonderful father .
Ridge : No , I m not . Never was . I was never there . I was always working or ... in and out of marriages , chasing women . It s over now . I found you . I m committed to you and to this kid . We re gon na do this right . It s my last shot . We re gon na raise this kid as our own .
Caroline : [ Voice breaking ] I want that more than anything . But can we do that ? I mean , can we really keep that a secret forever ?
Ridge : Yes , we can . We will . We have to . Listen , you promised when we got married that everything that you are is now part of me . That includes our kid . It s my baby , not Thomas . It s mine . That s how I m gon na see it .
Dr. March : A traditional surrogacy , which is the scenario you ve just described , is not as common anymore . It s not unheard of , but there are definite concerns with it when it involves a family member .
Maya : My main concern right now is that my sister is nt feeling pressured and that we re not putting her in a position that s uncomfortable or dangerous .
Rick : Yeah . We do nt want Nicole to feel obligated to do this for us . We want her to feel confident that this is completely her decision .
Dr. March : Well , it is quite an undertaking for the birth mother -- well , for everyone involved .
Maya : I can only imagine .
Dr. March : Surrogacy can be a very emotional journey . It s a beautiful , rewarding experience , but it does have its own complications .
Maya : Before I talk to Nicole again , I want to know more . I ve been looking online . I ve joined forums and message boards , but I really need your professional input , Dr. March . I want to know the risks and the success rates . I do nt want to ask anything of my sister without knowing all the facts .
Nicole : As much as I d like to do that all day ...
Zende : Yeah . We should probably talk , huh ?
Nicole : Or not .
Zende : I ve been thinking about ... this -- about you having Rick and Maya s baby .
Nicole : Me , too .
Zende : As I see it , there s really only one answer .
Nicole : That s exactly what I was thinking .
Zende : Really ?
Nicole : Yes ! Oh , my God ! I am so happy that we are on the same page .
Zende : [ Chuckles ] Me , too , especially something this important .
Nicole : Babe , I was so nervous . I did nt know what you d say or how you d feel . But I am happy to know that you support my decision to do it .
Zende : Not to do it .
Nicole : Wait . Did you just say that ...
Zende : You ll do it ?
Nicole : Yeah . I thought that s what you thought , too .
Zende : No . I thought you decided to say no . Are you sure ? Nicole ... come on . You ca nt do this .
Caroline : Uh , are those the new prints ?
Brooke : Yes , actually . Nicole was dropping them off , and I thought I d bring them over for you to see .
Caroline : Thanks . [ Clears throat ]
Brooke : So , is Thomas coming to work today ? I have nt seen him yet .
Ridge : I sent him to Paris .
Brooke : Paris ? ! I did nt see that on the schedule .
Ridge : It was last - minute . Had him leave right away .
Brooke : Short trip or ... ?
Ridge : Do nt know yet .
Brooke : Okay . Let me know what you think of the prints .
Caroline : Okay .
Ridge : She did nt hear anything .
Caroline : I hope not . But , Ridge , people are gon na --
Ridge : No , no , no . No one s gon na know anything . We re not gon na tell anyone until after your first trimester , and then we ll move your due date by a couple of weeks . Everything s gon na be fine . And no one knows about the vasectomy , other than Brooke .
Caroline : Wait . What ?
Ridge : I confided in her when she wanted to know why I would nt give you a baby .
Caroline : She knows about the vasectomy ?
Ridge : And then I told her I d have it reversed .
Caroline : [ Sighs ] Okay . Um ... that s fine . Okay . Sh - shell just assume that that s what happened -- that you had it reversed -- and it s gon na be fine .
Ridge : And ... I also told her what my doctor told me about my condition .
Caroline : Then she s gon na figure it out . She s gon na know that this is nt your baby .

### Dialogue:
Stefano : [ Breathing heavily ] I think I am close to finding out who did this to you . And when I do ... there ll be hell to pay . Marco .
Marco : Yes , sir .
Stefano : Bring me a glass-- a tall glass of orange juice . No pulp .
Marco : Orange juice ?
Stefano : Orange juice , yes . Right away .
Marco : Got it .
Stefano : And Marco ... after you get the orange juice , there s someone I want you to take care of for me .
Brady : Hey , Nic , listen , um , it s me . I was wondering if you got a chance to go to the mausoleum today , because I m a little worried about what we re gon na find when -- when you get there . Listen , just call me as soon as you get this . EJ . I was gon na call you .
EJ : I m not really in the mood for a scene right now .
Brady : No scene . No scene . I just wanted to thank you . You called me about Arianna , and I appreciated I got to say good - bye .
EJ : Small comfort .
Brady : Yeah . But if I had nt gotten the chance to say good - bye bef ... anyway , thank you .
EJ : You re welcome . I did it for her .
Brady : Yeah , I know .
EJ : Look , um ... while you re here -- when I was with Arianna , she kept trying to say something , but I could nt quite make out what .
Brady : I m sorry , she tried to talk to you or something ?
EJ : Yeah , but like I said , it did nt actually happen . I mean , you have a good relationship with her . I was just wondering if she opened up to you at all .
Hope : I m telling you , something is wrong . It s about that girl . April . The one I told you about .
Bo : The one who died after the appendectomy .
Hope : Yeah . And now today ...
Bo : I hate that I ca nt protect you in this damn place .
Hope : I m not your problem anymore .
Bo : Do nt say that . I let you down before . I am not gon na let you down again .
Kayla : Stephanie , there is something that you need to know .
Caroline : Kayla .
Kayla : I m telling her , Mom .
Caroline : No .
Kayla : She s as much a part of this as we are .
Stephanie : What are you guys talking about ?
Kayla : Chloe s paternity test results .
Stephanie : Mom .
Kayla : They re not what everybody thinks they are .
Stephanie : I ca nt believe you re talking about this in front of Grandma .
Kayla : I ve looked into this . And there was a mistake . But it was nt clerical . Daniel is nt the baby s father . Philip is .
Melanie : You know , we probably should just put all this stuff into storage . We wo nt really be doing a lot of cooking since your dad has people for that .
Philip : Actually , you should probably stop packing .
Melanie : Why ?
Philip : My dad says he does nt want us to move in yet .
Melanie : Oh ! What happened ?
Philip : That s what I intend to find out .
Vivian : Where am I ? Oh , dear . This time , it s for real . I m dead . But if I am talking to myself , that suggests an afterlife . Which means I m in one of two places , either heaven or ...
Lawrence : I ve been waiting for you , Aunty .
Vivian : The other place . Lawrence ?
Lawrence : Aunty Viv . It is so good to see you .
Vivian : Oh , my God , I m dead . Victor did me in , that son of a bitch .
Philip : All of a sudden , he says he s doing renovations .
Melanie : Well , maybe he is .
Philip : Then why did nt he say anything yesterday when he was telling us how great it was gon na be to move in ?
Melanie : That is weird .
Philip : Yeah . He claims he wants to put in bookshelves . Stuff like that . Oh , and he says that there s no cable yet , and we ca nt live without that . I mean , come on .
Melanie : That would be hard .
Philip : Yeah , he also thinks that you and Nicole might have a problem getting along , but I told him that was nt an issue .
Melanie : No , that wo nt be a problem . I will steer clear of her , and she will steer clear of me , because , you know , she hates me .
Philip : Yeah , but that s -- that s not what this is . There s something else . I could tell .
Melanie : Well , maybe ...
Philip : What ?
Melanie : He just wants privacy .
Philip : Privacy ? That house is huge .
Melanie : I know . Maybe it s just dawned on him that he s gon na be under the same roof as me .
Philip : What s the problem with that ?
Melanie : Carly Manning s daughter . I do nt exactly have a clean track record .
Philip : Well , you know , if he wanted to get you , he would have moved us in right after the wedding , given you the red carpet treatment , and stuck a shiv in your back .
Melanie : Yikes .
Philip : I m kidding . No , this is nt about you . You ve managed to charm my father the same way you ve charmed everybody else .
Melanie : You make me sound a lot better than I really am .
Philip : Come on . I know how lucky I am to be the guy you married .
Brady : No . Arianna tried -- tried to talk to me too , but she could nt . She could nt manage it .
EJ : Hmm . I m sorry . She did nt say anything ? Nothing at all .
Brady : Why do you care ?
EJ : Look , I just spent a lot of time with her recently , and I thought if she said something to you , and you did nt quite understand what it was , maybe I could help you in some way .
Brady : You re unbelievable . Really .
EJ : I beg your pardon .
Brady : You are unbelievable . Calling me to Arianna s bedside in the hospital . She knew something , right ? What was it ? You were hoping that she would tell me before she ... unbelievable .
EJ : All right . Okay . Fine . Brady , yes , she knew something . Yes , I wanted to know what it was . She knew who shot me . She had proof . She was bringing it to me the night of the accident .
Brady : Why would Arianna care about nailing the person that shot you ?
EJ : Because she was concerned for her brother s safety .
Brady : That does nt make any sense .
EJ : Samantha shot me .
Brady : Sami shot you ?
EJ : That s right .
Brady : You want to pin this on Sami ? Wait -- wait a minute . It makes sense , though . She dumped you . You want to put Sami away . Is that it ?
EJ : What I want is justice . And that s what Arianna wanted .
Brady : I do nt know who shot you , EJ . But I hope they get another whack at it , and I hope their aim is a little better next time .
EJ : Brady , Samantha shot me . Now Arianna had proof , and she died trying to get me that proof . Do nt you think we should respect her final wish ?
Stephanie : You said there was probably a clerical error .
Kayla : I was wrong .
Stephanie : Why are we talking about this in front of Grandma ?
Caroline : Cause I already know about it .
Stephanie : Wha -- what did you say to her ?
Kayla : The point is that the three of us know the truth , that Philip is the baby s father . But the people who need to know , Philip , Daniel , and Chloe , are still in the dark , so there is something very wrong about that .
Stephanie : Okay , before you go off on your little argument , listen to me . You have not lived here for the past year . I have . Daniel and Chloe are dying to have this baby . Philip is nt . He does nt want it . Especially not with Chloe .
Caroline : That s what I told her .
Kayla : He is going to find out .
Stephanie : You do nt know that .
Kayla : You know what , baby , he is a doctor . After that baby is born , there s going to be so many different ways that he could stumble upon the fact that he is not the biological father .
Stephanie : That s not your problem .
Kayla : No , you are . And I want you to be prepared .
Stephanie : Prepared ? For what ?
Kayla : For whatever happens when the truth comes out .
Stephanie : You mean when Nathan leaves me , right ? Mom , listen to me . You say something , Melanie is gon na leave Philip in a heartbeat . She s gon na go running and crying on Nathan s shoulder .
Kayla : You do not know that .
Stephanie : Before you know it , they re gon na be together , and I m gon na lose the guy that I love . Melanie will make sure of it , just to prove that she can . She ll ruin everything for me , and you do nt even care , do you ?
Kayla : I do care . But you know what , you do nt know the whole story .
Kayla : I got to take this . Hello . Yes . Oh , my God .
Hope : So , um ... in my therapy sessions , I have decided it s better to stop being so aggressive .
Bo : Aggressive how ?
Hope : I m not gon na ask so many questions anymore .
Bo : How s that working out for you ?
Hope : I ve gotten some answers anyway . I ve found that some situations are , well , they re different than I thought they would be . Do you know what I mean ?
Bo : Yeah . Sometimes you do nt want to push too much .
Hope : Exactly .
Bo : I m wondering ... is there anything we can do with what you found out ?
Smith : My contact in Salem says it s true . Hope s daughter really is a mess .
Lee : So it makes sense for her to want to see her kid s father .
Smith : Yeah .
Lee : You do nt think she s passing on information ?
Smith : She does nt know that much .
Lee : Now .
Smith : Right . To be on the safe side , Hope Brady is gon na have to go .
Vivian : Where are we ?
Lawrence : They call it the waiting area , and I have been here for quite some time !
Vivian : Darling , darling , listen to me . Calm down . I have missed you terribly . Terribly . But I m just not ready to be here .
Lawrence : Really ?
Vivian : Do nt take it personally . It s just not my time .
Lawrence : How much time did you think you had left in that box ?
Vivian : Well , frankly , I was expecting to be rescued today .
Lawrence : By whom ?
Vivian : Not Brady , of course . He put me in here . But other people are hearing about it . Kate DiMera , Nicole DiMera , Victor .
Lawrence : They all hate you . Everybody hates you . Except for me . But I m no use to you , I m afraid .
Vivian : Well , I m not giving up .
Lawrence : No . That would not be you . And perhaps it s not your time yet . But it will be soon . You put a lot into making that box a living nightmare for a person . The toxic paint fumes and all that . And there s no one on earth who wants to help you . You know I m right . [ Silently ] Come on .
Vivian : [ Mutters ] Oh . Oh . It was a dream . Oh , God . What a horrible dream . If I m gon na be stuck in here , I deserve better dreams . Nice silk sheets . Rose petals . The Baldwin Brothers lined up according to height . But this was a dream , was nt a vision of the future . So Lawrence was wrong . He s a lovely boy , but he s always been a few sandwiches short of a picnic . I m sure there s got to be somebody out there who cares . There just has to be .
EJ : I understand Samantha s your stepsister . Okay ? But what I do nt understand is why you have this abject loyalty to her , Brady . What has she ever done for you ?
Brady : Is that -- is that what friendship is to you ? Quid pro quo ? A big bartering system like , you know , you defend Ari , so she owes you intel . Really ?
EJ : Okay , fine . I understand . You do nt like me . All right ? But Arianna had proof , Brady . Now you know her well enough to know that , whatever proof she had , that was the truth . You know I saw the accident , right ?
Brady : No , you did nt mention that .
EJ : Arianna was trying to get away from William when she ran into the path of that car . Now who do you think sent William down there to persuade her not to talk to me ? Hmm ? Listen , Brady , if she had proof , you know her better than anybody . Now where would she put that if she needed to keep it safe ?
Hope : How s Ciara liking first grade ?
Bo : She s , you know , doing okay . Has a couple of new friends .
Hope : That s great .
Bo : Yeah . Having a little trouble with the reading , though , so every night we re working with the flash cards .
Hope : Bet she hates that , huh ?
Bo : Oh , yeah . But when we re done , we read from chapter books . That s what she calls them . Right now , we re working on Fantastic Mr. Fox .
Hope : I loved that book .
Bo : So does your daughter . The animals are all cool , and the adults , they re jerks .
Hope : You know , do you remember last April , yeah , I think that s when it was , when Ciara had that fall .
Bo : Yeah .
Hope : Well , I forgot to mention that the orthopedist wanted to see her again after six months .
Bo : Oh . Okay .
Hope : Yeah , um , I ca nt remember the doctor s name . Can you do the legwork for me ?
Bo : Yeah , that s something I can take care of .
Hope : You know , come to think of it , maybe you should get a second opinion or two .
Bo : I ll work on that .
Hope : I hate that I ca nt take care of these things myself .
Bo : Do nt worry . I ll take care of it .
Kayla : I ca nt believe it took you so long to track me down . Listen , what I want you to do is to MedEvac him to the hospital in Johannesburg . And please tell Steve that I will be there as soon as I can . I will call you back with my flight information . Thank you .
Stephanie : What s wrong with Dad ?
Kayla : He s running a high fever . He has malaria .
Caroline : Kayla , you got to get on the plane tonight . Steve needs you .
Kayla : Listen , I m sorry about all this .
Stephanie : Is he gon na be okay ?
Kayla : I promise you that I will take good care of him .
Stephanie : So now that you have to leave , you ca nt talk to Daniel and Chloe ?
Kayla : I am hoping to leave that in your hands .
Stephanie : Well , I wish you had nt told me any of this .
Kayla : I had no choice .
Caroline : You did have a choice .
Kayla : No , I did not . Because , you see , Stephanie , your grandmother here , she just happens to be the one who switched the results .
Melanie : Give me that . What is that ?
Philip : I do nt know . I do nt know what that is .
Maggie : Oh . You re still packing .
Melanie : Yeah , although Philip says we should stop .
Maggie : Why ?
Philip : Uh , all of a sudden , my dad says he does nt want us to move in right away .
Maggie : [ Laughs ] Doggone it . That means I m gon na have the two of you underfoot for a little while longer ?
Melanie : It looks like it .
Maggie : Well , I m just gon na have to control my disappointment .
Melanie : Us too .
Maggie : So why does nt Victor want you to move in ?
Philip : Well , he says he s doing renovations , but I do nt buy it . Something else is up .
Maggie : Hmm . Um , I do nt want you to worry too much , but I got the same feeling when I saw him last night .
Philip : Really ?
Maggie : Yes , so for his sake , I hope you get to the bottom of whatever it is .
Brady : Ca nt help you .
EJ : Ca nt or wo nt , Brady ?
Brady : Both . Both , EJ . Look , I know Sami s done some crazy things , but she would not shoot her kids daddy in the head .
EJ : You did nt seem very happy with her at the hospital .
Brady : I was nt happy . Cause I heard about Arianna through you instead of my sister .
EJ : Really ? Not because she was pushing you ? Asking the same kind of questions that I m asking you right now ? She wanted to know if Arianna said something .
Brady : Please stop . She would nt do it .
EJ : Push a person hard enough , Brady , they ll do anything .
Brady : I actually agree with that .
EJ : Okay . Now the night Samantha and I were supposed to get married , she found out some pretty awful things . According to the police report , nobody forced entrance into my father s house . There was no forensic evidence . There were no fingerprints . That means it was somebody who had access to the house . It means it was either Samantha or it was William .
Brady : EJ , EJ , if you want to blame someone , just blame me . All right ? I m the one that helped Nicole steal the baby in the first place . I set it in motion . Leave Sami out of it .
EJ : The only person who s above blame in this whole situation is Arianna . Now she had proof , Brady . Somebody is responsible for her death . Now do nt you think that person should pay ?
Brady : Yeah , I do . And I ll tell you what , I ll do whatever I can to make that happen .
Marco : Here .
Stefano : [ Groans ] Thank you . [ Sighs ] I know , Marco , that the trail has gone cold , but I can not have Elvis going rogue . You know , breaking into houses , doing your job .
Marco : No , sir .
Stefano : Find out who did this , Marco . Find out who shot my son . And you take care of that person . I do nt want to know who it is . Just get it done .
Marco : Yes , sir . Is there anything else ?
Stefano : No . And do not come back until it s done .
Stephanie : Grandma ? You ?
Caroline : Yes .
Stephanie : You switched the test results ?
Caroline : I knew how worried you were about Nathan and that you were even thinking of getting pregnant to hold on to him .
Stephanie : Okay , but that does nt have anything to do with Daniel and Chloe .
Caroline : Well , I heard you and Ian , you had your heads together . I heard you talking .
Stephanie : Oh , my God .
Caroline : I saw Ian hanging around at St. Mary s Hospital , and I m a volunteer there . So I looked up the medical record , and I saw Chloe s name , her pseudonym that is , and two keystrokes and Daniel was the father of Chloe s baby . And your problem was solved , or so I thought .
Stephanie : Grandma , I love you , but I ca nt believe you did this . You could go to jail . You know that ?
Kayla : Ha , maybe the judge will take pity on her because of her age .
Caroline : Ah , stuff it .
Kayla : You know , it s just not like you .
Caroline : It is me . It s the me who let Bo think that your father was his father for 30 years , and it turned out all right .
Kayla : I have to get to Steve . But I ca nt leave here unless I know that everything s gon na be made right ... and that the two of you will survive whatever happens next .
Smith : I d very much like to make this happen . You sure ? I understand . Damn .
Lee : Bad news ?
Smith : I ca nt get Hope taken off infirmary duty . The brass started asking too many questions . We ca nt risk them getting suspicious .
Lee : What are you gon na do about it ?
Smith : Looks like we re on to plan B .
Philip : Hey , Brady .
Brady : Philip . How about a drink ?
Philip : A little early for me .
Brady : Suit yourself .
Philip : I m so sorry about Arianna .
Brady : Yeah , thank you . Me too .
Philip : Mel , she s -- she s all broken up about it .
Brady : Yeah , Melanie . I should have called her .
Philip : She understands . She understands . Look , I know you and Arianna were nt together , but this has still got to hurt like hell .
Brady : You could say that .
Philip : Maybe that s it .
Brady : What ?
Philip : Well , we were all set to move in , and then this morning , Father says for us to hold off . Maybe he wants to give you a little space .
Brady : [ Laughs ] That s Grandfather , huh ? Mr. Sensitive .
Philip : He said something about renovating the whole east wing . But that seems so sudden .
Brady : Um , yeah . Yeah , yeah , no , he just came up with that .
Philip : It is a lie . And you know the real reason that he does nt want us here , do nt you ?
EJ : You all right ? You look pale .
Stefano : I just got off the phone with Judge Reilly s clerk .
EJ : Reilly ? That s the judge in my custody case , right ? How do you know his clerk ?
Stefano : Who do you think put him through law school ? Anyway , he says that the judge has gone over the briefs from your lawyer and Samantha s lawyer , and he thinks that the judge is going to rule in favor of Samantha , so whatever Arianna had on Samantha , you better find it quickly or come up with another plan .
Hope : Everything okay ?
Lee : No . No , it s not .
Hope : What s going on ?
Lee : Another inmate . Sheila Brunner .
Hope : What about her ?
Lee : She s dead .
Hope : Does it say what happened ? How did she die ?
Lee : T.B.
Hope : T.B. Oh , my God .
Lee : And such a young woman . And the worst part ...
Hope : What s that ?
Lee : Well , it s T.B. It s contagious , you know . Just pray no one else gets it . We do nt want an epidemic .
Bo : Hope was telling me about this girl she met on the inside , April , who died after an appendectomy .
Carly : Okay .
Bo : I was asking a lot of questions about this , but I had to back off , but I know her . She s not gon na drop it .
Carly : Even after her life was threatened ?
Bo : Yeah , well , she s a cop on the case right now . I recognize the signs .
Carly : Wow , okay . I want to help .
Bo : I was hoping you d say that .
Carly : All right , the complication rate of an appendectomy depends on the status of the appendix when it s removed . If it has nt ruptured , it s about 3 % . If it has , the rate goes up to 60 % .
Bo : Well , Hope said the cause of death was listed as septic shock .
Carly : Then the appendix ruptured . And if the girl was nt taken quickly into surgery , that could be significant .
Bo : You know , if I give Hope this information , she s gon na want to dig in more , get more information , and that could be dangerous .
Carly : Well , then maybe you and I should try to get that information ourselves .
Stephanie : You go home to Dad , and I will take care of this . I promise .
Kayla : Are you just telling me what I want to hear ?
Nathan : Hey , ladies .
Stephanie : Hey , when did you get here ?
Nathan : A few minutes ago . I thought you saw me . I was on the phone with the hospital .
Stephanie : If I saw you , do you think I d still be standing here ?
Nathan : Oh .
Caroline : Feel better now ?
Brady : Look , man , if you re saying that I did something to keep you and Melanie from moving in here , then that s ...
Philip : But you re letting Nicole live here . That s a deterrent .
Brady : Well , Philip , if this place is nt up to your standards , then why are you so hot to move in here ? Come on . I got to change for the memorial service .
EJ : So you just want me to drop this idea of getting proof that Samantha shot me ?
Stefano : No . But unfortunately you can not identify her .
EJ : I am pursuing every avenue , Father . If there is proof out there , I will find it . Now instead of reminding me of how dire the situation is , why do nt you offer to help me ?
Stefano : Offer to help you ? That s all I do is try to help you , but you always think you have the damn answers .
EJ : Do you have to yell ? Really ?
Stefano : I can fix this for you , Elvis , if you put aside your foolish pride and let me . I know exactly what to do to make sure that Samantha and Rafael Hernandez are not in the position to raise my grandchildren .
Nathan : Hey . Tell me what s wrong .
Stephanie : My dad s really sick .
Nathan : I m sorry . What is it ?
Kayla : He s got malaria . I m headed back there now .
Nathan : Well , hey , I know this must be hard , but just know that he s gon na be fine , and your mom s gon na make sure of that , right ?
Kayla : I want to help you plan the wedding . I m very happy really for both of you .
Nathan : Thank you .
Caroline : I think we should have a toast to the happy couple . Nathan , will you help me with the drinks ?
Nathan : Of course .
Caroline : Okay .
Kayla : I - I really ca nt believe that your grandmother did that . The truth should have come out as soon as the paternity test results came out . You see that , do nt you ?
Stephanie : I do . I did nt at first , but just looking at Nathan just now , I mean , it hit me . I - I do nt want to lie to him . I do nt want to trick him . I want the same kind of love in marriage that you and Dad have .
Kayla : And I want that for you too . I want you to be with a man who trusts you ... and loves you with all his heart .
Stephanie : I ll take care of Grandma . I still ca nt believe she did that because of me .
Kayla : Well , you did nt ask her to do it .
Stephanie : Well , not in so many words . I was very whiny and insecure .
Kayla : I do nt know why . You are a beautiful , wonderful girl .
Stephanie : I love you , Mom .
Caroline : So , everybody ... there is a tradition at the Brady Pub that , on a happy occasion , we buy a round for everybody . So order up and raise a glass to my beautiful granddaughter and the young man who asked her to marry him .
Hope : Another prisoner dead . I was nt wrong , Bo .
EJ : Just how ... do you intend on dealing with Samantha ?
Stefano : Leave that to me . You just prepare for the children s return .
EJ : No , no , Father , wait . Listen to me . When I asked for your help , I meant help in finding out what it was that Arianna wanted to give me .
Stefano : Oh . That .
EJ : Yes , that . I told you before , I want to deal with Samantha legally . I do nt want her hurt .
Stefano : I do nt believe what I am hearing . This woman put a bullet in your brain and left you to die . You do nt want her hurt ? My God , this is worse than I even thought it would be . She really has some weird hold over you , does nt she ?
Bo : So you want to help me help Hope ?
Carly : Well , yeah , I mean , she wanted you to talk to a doctor . I can discreetly inquire about the medical setup in the prison without raising suspicion .
Bo : Okay . Thank you .
Carly : No problem .
EJ : All right . I admit my feelings for Samantha are ... complicated .
Stefano : That s an understatement .
EJ : Okay , but it s also beside the point . All right ? Right now , I m totally focused on trying to find Arianna s proof .
Stefano : I know that . And get your children back .
EJ : Of course .
Stefano : [ Exhales ] I think you might have an additional motivation , eh ?
EJ : Really ?
Stefano : Once you get the proof , you will once again have Samantha under your control . So if you want , you can send her to prison .
EJ : Right .
Stefano : Or you can put her back in your bed .
Caroline : Ah , Maggie , Melanie , you re just in time to toast the happy couple .
Maggie : Oh , excuse me , Caroline . Seems like I m the last to know .
Nathan : No , it literally-- it literally just happened . I promise .
Maggie : [ Laughs ] Well , I think it s wonderful .
Nathan : Thank you .
Maggie : Congratulations , you two .
Stephanie : Thank you .
Melanie : I m really happy for you guys .
Stephanie : I can tell .
Nathan : Stop .
Maggie : Um , we re here for Arianna Hernandez s memorial service . Melanie is beside herself .
Nathan : Yeah , this thing is so awful .
Maggie : Well , I - I know Melanie wishes you the best . Just as I do .
Stephanie : Thank you .
Maggie : Are you all right ? I mean , as all right as you can be under the circumstances ?
Melanie : Yeah . Yeah , no , Nathan s gon na be as happy as I am now , and that s good , right ?
Nathan : Hey . Um , I m sorry you had to find out that way . I was ...
Melanie : It s fine . I think it s great .
Caroline : Kayla , please send our love to Steve .
Kayla : You know I will . You and Nathan love each other . Anyone can see that . You re gon na get through this .
Stephanie : I know .
Brady : Are you alive in there ?
Vivian : Lawrence ? Lawrence , is that you ?
Brady : Sure . Why not ?
Vivian : Have you taken up painting , darling ? I keep smelling these paint fumes .
Brady : Guess it wo nt be long now .
Philip : Brady . Is someone in here with you ?
EJ ( to Sami and Rafe ) : Once I find the proof Arianna had for me , it s buh - bye .
Kate ( to Nicole ) : That s why Victor is my bitch .
Vivian : Philip , save me .
Philip : That s Vivian .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Brooke : This has to stop right now -- today . I , more than anybody , have born the brunt of this relentless -- what do you want to call it -- jealousy rivalry , between the two of you practically since the day Rick was born . So , yes , yes , that gives me the right to say no more .
Ridge : And the fact that your precious son took a shot at me -- that does nt bother you . You re okay with that .
Brooke : Yeah , I m gon na have to be . Because this ends . This endless chain of retaliation . You are sabotaging what you say you love the most . And everybody around you is collateral damage . Nobody is going to press charges . Rick is going to remain as CEO at Forrester Creations , and you are going to have to accept it . Gracefully or not .
Liam : Listen , Forrester is going down with or without us .
Bill : You re thinking Rick s gon na drive it into the ground .
Liam : I m thinking Rick s gon na drive it off of a cliff , and without anyone to keep him in check , watch out , innocent bystanders .
Bill : You re concerned that hope s line will be a casualty .
Liam : Honestly , I m concerned about Caroline . Cause once she s finally enjoying the best success of her life , Rick is grinding her down to a bloody pulp , and why should we have to put up with that , huh ? I mean , why should -- what ?
Bill : Nothing . Nothing . I just -- I just like what I m hearing . So what are you thinking ?
Liam : I m thinking with Caroline designing , I could run that company and put Rick Forrester out to pasture .
Bill : That s my boy ! Leaping into action over a damsel in distress . As a business strategy , it s a little bit like chocolate - flavored scotch , but that s all right . I m good with it .
Liam : What ? Forrester is a natural acquisition for us . I mean , Spencer already dominates the fashion media , so what if the stuff we re featuring is our own ?
Bill : You know , you almost sound like you ve been eating meat . Or are you just impersonating a cold - hearted bastard to butter me up ?
Liam : Listen , listen for a second . The first thing I d need is control of your share of Forrester .
Bill : 12.5 % ai nt gon na get you that far .
Liam : I know . I know that . But it s a start . And I know where to go looking for more .
Bill : Do tell .
Liam : I was married to her .
Bill : Steffy .
Pam : You want to at least pretend you re working ?
Donna : Do you know where the gun is right now ?
Pam : Like I m gon na ask ?
Donna : Well , it was your sister s .
Pam : You think I want to see Rick walking towards me with a revolver in his hands ?
Donna : He ll listen to Brooke .
Pam : Nobody ever does what Brooke tells them to . [ Laughing ] Oh , except you .
Rick : I ll let him call the police if that s what he wants to do .
Brooke : No !
Ridge : I wo nt . As long as you step down .
Brooke : God , Ridge ! You re not hearing me !
Rick : Mom , no , there s no need to panic . In fact , I think a firing range in the basement is perfectly legal .
Maya : Rick , do not do this . You do nt want to get the police involved . It could be a fine or it could be six months for reckless endangerment .
Ridge : Wow , you brought your own criminal justice consultant .
Rick : Shut up . Shut up about her . Do nt even look at her . You do what you want to me , you say what you want to me . Take the woman that I was dumb enough to marry , go crying to the police . But you drag me through the headlines , man , I will drag you right with me . And I will ring out your dirty laundry all over your adoring public .
Brooke : No , no , that is not going to happen . You -- you are not calling anybody . You re not removing Rick . You owe me . You re never gon na make it right between us , but this you can do . And you will .
Bill : This could actually work . Steffy is the sleeping giant of Forrester .
Liam : She has always resented Brooke s influence on that company , and now that Brooke is gone and her son is installed on the throne --
Bill : Brooke s back .
Liam : What ?
Bill : I saw hear earlier .
Liam : How did that go ?
Bill : Do nt change the subject .
Liam : Well , I mean , did Rick s name come up because maybe Brooke could rein him in . I do nt know .
Bill : No way . Are you kidding me ? That kid plays Brooke like a freaking violin . So when do you leave for paris ?
Liam : I do nt have to . Steffy s in town .
Bill : What ?
Liam : All of her posts online have a location tag . She s here , dad .
Bill : Oh , so you still follow her online .
Liam : Shut up .
Steffy : Uh - oh . Am I in trouble ?
Liam : So you creep in like a thief in the night and do nt even call me ?
Steffy : [ Chuckles ] Okay , you caught me fair and square . So what s my punishment gon na be ?
Liam : Come see me and I ll tell you .
Steffy : Seriously ?
Liam : Why not ? You can say no . I mean , I ll carry on somehow without you .
Steffy : Your place ?
Liam : If that s okay .
Pam : Do nt do that ! You ll get caught . I always do .
Donna : Ridge is probably gon na think of this as an opportunity , is nt he ?
Pam : Opportunity never stops knocking for Ridge .
Donna : Would nt it be poetic ... something or another if -- if his mother s pearl - handled gun was the key to his kingdom ?
Pam : The one and only solution to this mess is to get Eric back here .
Donna : Right . But I thought Rick s contract was iron - clad for a year .
Pam : Yeah , but they re his sons . He can manage them . Eric always knows what to do .
Donna : Eric always knows what to do .
Brooke : You heard me right . You owe me this .
Ridge : Owe you what ? How does that work ?
Brooke : For every betrayal , every abandonment . You created the situation down to the bullet holes .
Ridge : Okay , wait , so , because little Ricky s traumatized by your screwed up sex life when he was a kid , that s on me now ?
Brooke : Not everybody can feel and forget the way you can and just shovel your past over your shoulder and never look back .
Ridge : So this is now about my heartlessness .
Brooke : Or it could be about your hypocrisy . The way you cast me aside when I turned to my sister s husband . So where are your high standards now ? Seducing your brother s wife .
Caroline : Okay , sorry , nobody seduced me . That is not what happened .
Brooke : If you re not gon na defend your husband , I do nt want to hear a word you have to say .
Caroline : With all due respect , Brooke , you ca nt just come in here after all this time gone and act like you understand a situation that you do nt . I ve never slept with your ex . We ve never seen each other undressed . We -- we had an intimacy that I will acknowledge . It was wrong . But it s been chaste to this very day , as opposed to the way that Rick responded , by moving Maya into my bed hours after I confessed it all .
Maya : Confessed ? I was the one who told Rick what was going on .
Caroline : Okay , you told Rick a lie . I corrected it with the truth , and then you made another play for the Forrester status and privilege -- one that you had the decency to walk away from .
Maya : Because I was scared , and because you had convinced me that I was nt good enough , but you know what ? After watching the way that you operate , I ve changed my mind .
Brooke : Do you want him back ? You said it was one misunderstanding on top of the other . So ... do you want my son back ?
Rick : I m listening .
Bill : How did she sound ?
Liam : Same Steffy as ever .
Bill : I wonder what she s expecting .
Liam : Well , she knows I m not gon na jerk around , cause we re friends . Through the good times , the bad times , we were always friends . Kind of like you and Katie .
Bill : Uh , Katie and I were not always friends .
Liam : [ Sighs ] Whatever . Do nt call me . I ll call you later , all right ?
Bill : Liam .
Liam : Yeah ?
Bill : I m proud of you . [ Sighs ]
Donna : [ Sighs ] You could just buzz in there and say there s a call .
Pam : [ Scoffs ] If Rick did nt shoot me , Brooke will .
Donna : There could be five lifeless bodies in there for all we know .
Pam : Trust me . There s zero possibility of Caroline Spencer dying that quietly . Ha .
Donna : What are you typing ?
Pam : Our resignations .
Donna : What ? We re resigning ?
Pam : No , I m just saying we need to be prepared . We have no idea who s gon na walk out of that office in charge . Or who s gon na be going home with who .
Donna : Oh .
Liam : Well , it s a simple question my mom s asking . Do you want me back ?
Caroline : Do I want a husband who expresses his displeasure with me by shooting at me ? What do you think ?
Rick : It was a yes or no . Mom , I think you got your answer .
Caroline : Oh , my God . This is so unfair . I pleaded with you . I -- I groveled . I humiliated myself because I thought it was all worth it when you asked for me back .
Brooke : You did ?
Caroline : Oh , but it was all a hoax to get Eric to sign the no outs agreement , making him C.E.O. , All while he had Maya in a condo on the side , spending every evening with her .
Maya : Mrs. Forrester --
Brooke : Stop calling me that .
Maya : Brooke , in my defense , I just -- I need to tell you that I have done nothing but love your son . And try to do everything he s asked of me .
Brooke : And why should I believe you ? You left Rick to be with Carter , and you broke his heart , so what s changed , Maya ?
Maya : I do nt care if I make a fool of myself . Rick loves me , and I will be the best partner that he could ask for . And the best wife .
Brooke : What about you ? You have nt answered me yet .
Caroline : Love was nt enough for him . Or we d still be together . He served me with divorce papers , Brooke . See , look at him . He ca nt even look at me . The way that Rick hurt me was bad enough . I ca nt keep hoping and hurting myself again and again . I m done .

Leave the past behind ? Gather up our reason leave it up to chance tonight I just want to slow dance look into blue eyes cause tonight might be the last time cause tonight might be the last time ohh yeah
Steffy : Cha - cha - cha .
Liam : Come here .
Liam : Mm .
Steffy : [ Sighs , chuckles ]
Liam : Come on in . Get inside .
Steffy : Yeah . So , how d you find me out ?
Liam : Uh , you know your location is stamped on every one of your posts , right ?
Steffy : Oh , just little bread crumbs . But no one s ever bothered to follow the trail before .
Liam : Yeah , well .
Steffy : I come to L.A. from time to time , you know , see old classmates , go to a premiere or a concert . I just do nt always tell my dad .
Liam : You and Ridge are still talking , though , right ? I mean ...
Steffy : I ve heard from hope . We ve spoken a few times .
Liam : How is she ?
Steffy : There are subjects that do nt come up .
Liam : Yeah . [ Sighs ]
Steffy : So , have you missed me ?
Liam : [ Chuckles ] Have I missed you ? How could I not miss you ? This was our home .
Steffy : Yeah , I can tell . The place does nt look that different at all .
Liam : Sometimes I just sit here and I ca nt help but fantasize about all the bedtime stories --
Steffy : I know . Yeah .
Liam : Sorry .
Steffy : I never replaced that damn motorcycle .
Liam : It s so good to see you .
Steffy : You too . So , uh ... you had something you wanted to talk to me about ?
Brooke : You can go .
Ridge : I m dismissed ?
Brooke : You can not be a part of this solution .
Ridge : Oh , and you think you are ? You have no idea what you walked into . You got bill to give up on you . Took awhile , but , hey , good news . But while your back was turned , this guy turned into a bigger tyrant than bill ever was .
Maya : Must you be so disrespectful ?
Ridge : Bill is a joke . This guy is dangerous , and why are you speaking while I m speaking ? Why are you still here ?
Brooke : Stop it . Maya is staying here . You re the one who s leaving . Go .
Ridge : Still the same , huh ? Rick is just leading you around by the nose . It s great parenting . Good job . Come on .
Brooke : [ Sighs ] Caroline , wait . I need you to stay . Please . Just shut the door . Rick is in pain , and it s a pain that I ve seen before . And it s unbearable to me , because when I was young and I was lost and panicked , I know that I caused it . And Ridge thinks that I blame him . Rick does blame him . Though I realize this is my responsibility and I need to engineer a way out of this . Maya . I believe that you re sincere .
Maya : Thank you .
Brooke : And I think you believe everything that you say . But your actions say something completely different . Rick is staying in this marriage . He is not getting a divorce . And you are going to forgive Caroline .
Rick : I ve tried .
Brooke : That s the problem , honey . You ve tried , and nothing has happened . You have to make this happen . You have to do something and make it work . Throwing aside your wife -- and you still call her your wife -- not because she was unfaithful , but because she was tempted by a man that you hate . And then you shack up with a woman who openly admits that she covets the lifestyle that you can afford ?
Maya : No , no . You know that it is more than that .
Brooke : And riddling the office with bullets ? Really , Rick ? How far do you want to take this ? It s your anger that is crippling you . You need to let it go in order to be happy . To be free . You love Caroline . We can all see that , honey . So please , just take the first step and tell her that you forgive her . Tell her how much you want her back . Tell her , Rick , how much you love her .
Liam : And now the inmates are running the Forrester asylum . Here you go . I m not sure how much you ve heard .
Steffy : Well , paris is nt on the other side of the world anymore . It s just a mouse - click away . You know I have no use for Rick .
Liam : I do .
Steffy : So is it true that he moved his lead model into my grandfather s house ?
Liam : [ Sighs ] It gets worse .
Steffy : Mm . Yeah , your cousin . My father .
Liam : Now , I do nt know how serious it was or is .
Steffy : You know , I m not gon na judge until I talk to my dad . But , God , I hate this . You know , everybody s whispering at international . It reminds me of when Brooke ran the company , and that was a dark time for Forrester .
Liam : It s just crazy to me , all this drama and instability going on over there , and you re on the outside , a continent and an ocean away . You should be leading that company .
Steffy : [ Laughs ] I could nt botch it as badly as Rick s doing . [ Laughs ]
Liam : They should be coming to you , not me . I mean , you re the one who wrestled the company away from my father in the first place .
Steffy : Yeah , but do people even remember that ?
Liam : Steffy , I do nt think that Forrester is gon na survive the day - to - day dysfunctionality happening there now .
Steffy : Unless what ?
Liam : Well , my father owns a piece of the company . You know that .
Steffy : Mm - hmm . To do what with ?
Liam : Well , and you and Thomas also have a piece that combined , that s 30 % , right ?
Steffy : Liam .
Liam : Do I surprise you ?
Steffy : Oh , you were always a surprise . Every single day .
Liam : Huh , well , that sounds tiring . [ Chuckles ]
Steffy : I never got tired of it .
Liam : So what do you think ? Control of Forrester that nobody can take away . You and I can make that happen . Together .

Jennifer : Yeah , he has a low - grade infection from that cut on his side .
Bo : Oh , thank you , nurse . I m fine .

Hope : Mm , you re so warm .
Jennifer : Go to sleep .
Bo : Yes , mom .
Hope : Be good .
Jennifer : Men are like little boys when they re sick , huh ?
Hope : Yeah , tell me about it . It s lucky he s only got a fever . He could have died , Jen .
Patrick : Billie , why do nt you , uh , take a break and have some coffee ?
Billie : Thanks . Just leave it . It s all here on this disk , Lockhart -- all the information as to where my daughter is and who adopted her . It s all here , and I m going to find her .
Patrick : Maybe it s better that you do nt .
Bo : Sorry about how things ended up Christmas Eve . I -- I m worried about you . You broke up with Belle . You loved that girl ever since I can remember .
Shawn - D : Dad , this --
Bo : I know , I m sorry . Uh ... your love life is none of my business . But you ve dropped out of school , you had an accident , you ve been arrested . Now you re driving that bike around that Jan gave you . You almost gave your mom a heart attack .
Shawn - D : Yeah , well , mom worries too much .
Bo : Well , maybe your new girlfriend does nt have your best interest in mind . You ever think of that ?
Shawn - D : You know what ? That s exactly what I was afraid of . I m going to go downstairs and give Zack his Christmas present . That s what I came over here to do .
Bo : Walk out -- that s your answer for everything these days ?
Shawn - D : Me . What about you ? You left mom here alone with Zack while you just go run off to Europe with your ex - lover ? You know what ? Forget it . I do nt even want to have this conversation . I feel like I m going to explode . I got to figure out what s going on with me , and there s only one person who can help .
Rex : Okay , let me get this straight . You need the names of the groomsmen , their sizes , and when they re available for fittings , right ? Okay , hold on . Belle , how many groomsmen ? Do you even have any ?
Mimi : Oh , could you hold on for a second , please ? Belle , I called every bridal shop , and no one has the bridesmaid dress that you picked . Even if we rush order , it could take at least four weeks .
Belle : You re kidding .
Mimi : Sorry .
Belle : I was going to design the bridesmaid dresses myself --
Mimi : I know , but do nt you have something we can use that you already designed for Basic Black ?
Philip : Belle , the Penthouse Grill needs to know what time we want cocktail hour , what type of hors doeuvres we want to serve , and what are our entree choices . Do we even want a cocktail hour ?
Rex : Belle , Belle , how many groomsmen ?
Belle : Okay , with everyone talking to me , I ca nt think .
All : I ll call you back .
Philip : Look , just relax , all right ? Everything s going to be fine .
Belle : No , it s not going to be okay . We re never going to get this done on time . Our wedding is going to be a complete disaster .
Mimi : Come here .
Philip : Where the hell s mom ?
Lucas : Hey , there she is . There she is . My beautiful fiancée . A rose for you .
Sami : Lucas . Oh , how beautiful .
Lucas : You hungry , honey ? Let s go get something to eat .
Sami : No , Lucas , I ca nt go anywhere . Do you know what s happening in there ?
Lucas : Well , good , good , you finally came to terms with Belle and Philip getting married first . Good for you . What are you , helping them ?
Sami : No , Lucas , I officially hate Belle and Philip , in addition to already hating Kate and John and everyone else associated with this freakin nightmare . No , the part I hate the most is that my little sister is getting married before I am .
Celeste : Ever since the messenger delivered this , I ve had a terrible feeling , but why was I drawn here to the church ? [ Gasps ] Was this a message from the spirits ... or -- or was it the -- the candles that caught the invitation on fire ?
Kate : Oh . This is perfect .
Eugenia : Why ? I mean , Sami s going off the deep end about this wedding .
Kate : Exactly , which means she s going to have to vent to someone .
Eugenia : Okay , like who ?
Kate : Oh , I have a hunch that she s going to be calling our dear friend Marguerite .
Eugenia : The psychic . Of course .
Kate : Mm - hmm . And you know what you re going to have to do now .
Eugenia : Uh , actually , I do nt .
Kate : Honey , you need to get yourself over to the psychics hotline . You need to monitor all the conversations . We need to know everything that Sami does and says , and if we get her to trust Marguerite , then we ll have her .
Eugenia : Okay , but how can you be sure that she s going to call Marguerite ?
Kate : Oh , believe me , I know exactly how to push that little bitch s buttons .
Lucas : All right , you know , I can understand you not wanting to help , but you still got to go to the wedding . Philip s my half - brother , and I know you want belle to be happy . I know you care about her , right ? Right , Sami ?
Sami : I m thinking . Okay , all right . Yes , of course I want her to be happy . I just do nt want her to get married before me .
Lucas : How many times have you been married , huh ? Once to Austin in Paris to get custody , and then what , Brandon in Salem ?
Sami : Those do nt count .
Lucas : She s got to wait for you to get it right just so she can take her turn ? Is that what this is , Sami ?
Sami : Well , yes . I do nt think that s unfair . I mean , Lucas , I wanted our wedding to be special , you know ? And I just wanted everything to be perfect and ... I want to prove to this town , show them that I m getting the chance to marry the man that I love .
Lucas : Oh , Sami . Come here .
Sami : Ugh . Look at that . John and Kate have everyone at Basic Black jumping through hoops for Belle and Philip s wedding , and I just want it to be like that for our wedding .
Lucas : It will be , all right ? My mom s going to pay for our wedding . She s going to do exactly what she s doing for Belle . She s going to do the same thing for you .
Sami : Are you kidding ? John would nt even make a freaking phone call for me , and I m sure Kate would love to just open up a can of rotten tuna fish and spread it on some stale crackers for us .
Lucas : Oh , wait a minute . What about the perks ? What about all those perks from the promotional thing with the advertisers for Basic Black ? You still got all that .
Sami : Yeah , thankfully , cause I came up with that idea . I m sure Kate s going to try to ruin that , too .
Lucas : No , she wo nt --
Sami : But that is nt even the point , Lucas , okay ? I wanted our wedding to be special . I wanted to prove to this town that I am not a total screw up . And if Belle gets married right before I do , it s going to ruin that . It s going to ruin everything .
Kate : Sorry , Sami . I mean , I m sorry that I m not a psychic . There s no way I could have known that Philip was going to be called up to active duty , now , is there ? Maybe you and Lucas getting married first just was nt in the stars . Look , now , I know Sami does nt want to help with her sister s -- with the most important day of her life , but do you think possibly you could give your brother Philip a hand ?
Lucas : Absolutely . Sure .
Kate : Thank you .
Lucas : Come on . Put a lid on it . Just count to 10 and breathe , all right ? Try to be happy for Belle .
Philip : So obviously , mom , I need your help .
Kate : Oh , sweetie , it s going to be all right . I know it seems absolutely impossible right now , but we re going to get things organized , and we re going to get them done on time , because I have everyone at Basic Black working on it .
Belle : Yeah , but I do nt even have a wedding dress , and then there s -- there s the caterers and the florists and -- and the arrangements at the church , and everything that the wedding planner was supposed to do .
Kate : Honey , look . The invitations -- they re being rush printed by a Basic Black printing company , okay ? I have reservations at the Penthouse Grill for the reception , and everything else can be organized by my able - bodied sons , okay ?
Mimi : Why do nt I take Belle to the church to check things out and talk to the priest about the ceremony ?
Kate : I think that s a very good idea .
Mimi : Okay , Belle ?
Kate : What are you waiting for ? Go ahead .
Belle : Okay .
Kate : Ha ha ha .
Rex : Uh , ahem . Mimi . Why did you suggest taking Belle to the church ?
Mimi : Just trust me , okay ? If my plan works , Belle will forget about all this and stop the wedding and realize she s still in love with Shawn .
Rex : [ Sighs ]
Mimi : Hey , that was classy .
Sami : Hey , mind your own damn business .
Mimi : Hello ? Why are you calling me , Jan ? What do you want ? I m busy . No , I do nt know where he is . You sound worried . Trouble in paradise ?
Shawn - D : I just do nt know who else to talk to , Gran .
Alice : Well , what about talking to Jan ? She s the one that you re going to marry , share your life with , are nt you ?
Jennifer : Hope , Bo was with Billie because they were looking for their daughter .
Hope : I know that , and I know that finding her is , of course , very important to both of them . I feel for Billie . What mother would nt ? Believing that you have a child out there somewhere that you never had the opportunity to hold and love . But , damn it , Jen , Bo could have died . He went up against the DiMera organization . What if I d lost him ?
Jennifer : No , I know that , but listen , you did nt .
Hope : No , I know I did nt , but I know it s only a matter of time before he and Billie will want to take off again , and I told Bo in no uncertain terms he s not going anywhere .
Jennifer : All right , what about the message on Billie s PDA ? She believes that she has a lead on Georgia .
Hope : It s not a lead . There s no real information . It s probably a trick .
Jennifer : What if it s not ?
Hope : They both need to take time and come up with a plan -- a good one . I m not letting her drag Bo into a dangerous situation again . The boys need him here , especially Shawn .
Jennifer : Oh , speaking of , what is he up to ? How is he ?
Hope : Still with Jan , still drinking , still out of --
Jennifer : What ?
Hope : He s so out of control . Now , we got this letter from the college today . It says that Shawn can go back if he wants to , but ... once again , we have nt had the opportunity to talk to Shawn about it .
Jennifer : It s so hard . It is so hard to understand what -- what your children are feeling . I mean , look at everything I m going through with Abby -- not coming home by her curfew , talking back . But then I think about everything that little girl has been through in the past year . No one should ever have to go through all of that , really .
Hope : Honey , so have you .
Jennifer : No , but I m her mother . I m her mother . I - I need to be there for her . But it does nt matter . No matter what I say right now , it makes everything worse .
Hope : She seemed a lot better at Christmas .
Jennifer : Yeah , well , we ll see how long that lasts .
Hope : Hey , you ve got to remember , we had rebellious sides at that age . Do nt you remember ? And we turned out okay . I mean , mostly .
Jennifer : I know . That s what Gram tried to tell me , but I really do nt think that we were that bad , were we ?
Hope : What ?
Jennifer : Okay . Maybe we were . I - I do nt think so .
Hope : You know , when and if Bo and Billie do find Georgia , it s going to change all of our lives , including Shawn and Zack s .
Jennifer : I know . And they re getting closer and closer to finding her . I mean , they know now that she was adopted when she was 3 years old .
Hope : Maybe .
Jennifer : What ? What do you mean ?
Hope : I hate to even think it , much less say it . What if all of this is a hoax ? What if all of these clues were planted by the DiMeras years ago , and the truth is , Georgia really is nt alive ?
Jennifer : Are you kidding ? Why would they go to all that trouble to send Bo and Billie on some wild goose chase ?
Hope : What have the DiMeras always wanted ? To ruin our lives . Well , maybe the goal this time is to destroy my marriage to Bo .
Billie : Ha ha . Ahem . I m sorry . Why do you think I should nt do everything I can to find my daughter ?
Patrick : Look , you re driven to find your daughter and bond with her . I understand that . But if it s true that she was adopted , you could totally disrupt her life .
Billie : Okay . But if she was adopted when she was 3 and is happy , why did she choose to contact me on my PDA ?
Patrick : She contacted you ?
Billie : Yes .
Patrick : Are you really sure it was her ?
Billie : I believe it was , and if Georgia does have adoptive parents , they re probably on DiMera s payroll , and there is no way that I am going to let them keep her away from me or use her in some evil agenda against us .
Patrick : Yeah , but you ca nt really be sure that s what s happening .
Billie : Of course it is . That s why they took her away from me at birth . There is definitely a plan that will affect me and Bo .
Patrick : If that s true , it will affect Hope , too .
Philip : I owe you one . Okay , the marine honor guard -- confirmed . We got it .
Kate : Ah , great . That s wonderful .
Rex : All right , and the maître d said he ll help us put together a menu .
Philip : Nice .
Kate : Okay , check . That s two checks .
Rex : Cool .
Lucas : Booked the limos .
Kate : Oh .
Lucas : Get everyone from the church to the reception , no problem .
Kate : Oh , honey , that s wonderful . Thank you .
Philip : Um ... mom , the thing is ... I m starting to wonder if all this is even necessary . I mean , throwing together a big , fancy , formal wedding in this amount of time , it s putting us all through a lot of stress , and especially Belle , and I m starting to think that maybe we should just ... bag the whole thing and have a nice , private little ceremony with our family and our friends .
Rex : Hey , d - dont go saying that now , man .
Lucas : Well , that ll certainly make Sami happy .
Kate : That s one reason we should nt even consider it .
Philip : What ?
Rex : What ?
Lucas : What was that ?
Kate : I just said it s a little late to consider that .
Sami : Yeah , yeah . I ll make that happen right away . Whatever .
Kate s voice : Maybe you and Lucas getting married first just was nt in the stars .
Marguerite : Wendy s psychic network hotline . Hello , Samantha . I had a feeling you d be calling .
Sami : That is really amazing .
Shawn - D : I ca nt talk to Jan because a lot of this has to do with her . Gran , family means a lot to me ... but I feel like all I ve been doing is fighting with them . Sometimes I feel like I ve been trying to hurt them .
Alice : Oh , and you feel bad about it .
Shawn - D : Yeah , I do .
Alice : Good . That means you re healing .
Shawn - D : You know , ever since the accident , I have nt been sure about what I ve been feeling , and I ve been angry . I have nt been acting like myself .
Alice : Well , who would you normally talk to about your feelings ?
Alice : Ah , that s right . You d talk to Belle .
Mimi : See , Belle , Father Jansen s back , and he said there s no problem getting the church whenever you need it .
Belle : Yes , he was very helpful , but -- what are we doing here ?
Mimi : Oh , I just wanted to check out the bride s room to see what we needed to bring to get you ready . What s this ?
Belle : Oh , it s Caroline s hope chest .
Mimi : Oh , right , I forgot it was even here .
Belle : Yeah . It was brought here for Sami s and Brandon s wedding , but -- but then --
Belle : Is nt it beautiful ?
Shawn - D : You are beautiful . Y - you literally take my breath away .
Belle : I know what you mean .
Shawn - D : May I have this dance ?
Mimi : Belle , look at this . Mrs. Brady s dress is still here . This could be the solution to all your problems .
Belle : There is no way I can wear that dress .
Celeste : Was it an accident or are the spirits trying to tell me something ? This has to be an omen ... and a bad one .
Hope : You look skeptical . Jen , just hear me out , all right ? Just think about it for a second . Look at what s happened to all of the other couples that were torn apart by Tony . I mean , Tony even tore his own sister away from Abe . I m not going to let this come between me and Bo . I mean , my God , if he has a daughter out there , of course I want him to find her . I support him . But what if this is just a huge DiMera manipulation ?
Jennifer : Hope , do you think that s possible after Tony and Stefano s death ? I mean , a - a list of instructions in the event we die kind of thing ?
Hope : Exactly , yes .
Jennifer : Come on .
Hope : Yeah , I do . I mean , all of this could have been just manufactured to break up me and Bo . It s too suspicious . What , all of a sudden , Billie s missing daughter suddenly contacts her mother on Christmas , does nt tell her where she is or how to get in touch with her , and why now ? And how did she know about Billie ? And how did she know how to get in touch with her ?
Jennifer : I do nt know . I do nt know . There are so many questions , and there s not one answer .
Hope : The message had to be phony . It had to be sent by whoever s out to get me and Bo .
Bo : Try this . Go .
Bo : Look at this .
Billie : It s Georgia s files . This could tell us everything we need to know . This could tell us where she is .
Bo : Billie . Billie , do nt touch that !
Billie : Aah !
Bo : Billie , no . No . Do nt die . You ca nt die . Come on , Billie . Come back to me . Come on . Billie . Oh , Billie . No . Do nt die . Do nt die . Do nt ...
Billie : Patrick , you were a part of the DiMera organization . Do you really think that they are continuing to operate without Tony or Stefano ?
Patrick : Well , without getting into whether that really was Stefano s body at the island compound or the fact that we do nt have proof positive that Tony s even dead , yeah . Once the DiMera organization puts a plan into motion , their underlings have orders to carry it to its conclusion no matter what . Now , if you re right , there has to be some kind of long - term plan for kidnapping Georgia at birth and letting everyone believe she was dead . You know , Billie , what if it was nt Georgia who left that message ?
Billie : I honestly believe it was .
Patrick : Then why did nt she tell you how to contact her ?
Billie : Maybe she was going to , but she got caught . You know , I mean , if she s being held captive , maybe whoever is -- has got her has complete control over what she says and does .
Patrick : And you re thinking contacting you was that deliberate and calculated ?
Billie : Yes .
Patrick : Okay . Well , if that s true , your daughter s being used as bait , and when you find out where she is , you could be walking into a trap .
Billie : Hmm . You re right . But -- but the bottom line is that Georgia is alive , and she is out there somewhere , and I am going to find her and save her and make her a part of my life , and nothing on God s green earth will stop me .
Marguerite : Sami , are you calling again about being in love with both your not - quite - ex - husband and your fiancé ?
Sami : No , no . I managed to get that resolved , even though I have nt gotten the annulment yet , but you would nt believe what happened when I tried .
Marguerite : I can imagine -- literally . I sense an obstacle was thrown in your way .
Sami : To say the least . An obstacle that was ugly and mean and vicious . This horrible woman Eugenia -- she somehow managed to get a job at the county clerk s office , and she would nt put a rush on my paperwork .
Marguerite : The nerve . Some people just have to go by the bureaucratic book , do nt they ? Just drives you nuts .
Sami : Well , I m not worried about it , cause I m going to get it taken care of .
Marguerite : So tell me about today . You re in pain .
Sami : Yeah , well , that s why I m calling , and of course , my fiancé would tell me I m utterly nuts and that you re a total con artist .
Marguerite : I m not a con artist , Sami .
Sami : Well , I know that . That s why I keep calling . I mean , it s not like I have anyone else to talk to . Besides Lucas and Will , there s no one else in this whole world that I trust except you , Wendy , a total stranger . God , that s so sad .
Marguerite : So why are you calling ?
Sami : Do nt you know ?
Marguerite : [ Whispers ] Why is she calling ?
Eugenia : Her little sister s getting married .
Marguerite : There s a wedding , and it s not yours . You have a sister who s getting married ... and you re upset about it .
Sami : Wow , you are good . Yeah , you re damn right I m upset about it , and you know why , do nt you ?
Marguerite : Your , uh , sister s fiancé is suddenly being called away . Is he in the military ?
Sami : Yeah .
Marguerite : The marines ?
Sami : Yes .
Marguerite : He s being called up and shipped out right after the new year , and you re upset because you wanted your wedding to be first .
Sami : That s it . It s all true . So you have to tell me , am I going to be able to get through this ? Am I going to be able to beat my sister to the altar , or is she going to get married first ?
Kate : Philip , we have to go through with this wedding .
Philip : Why ? I mean , the only important thing , mom , is that Belle and I commit to each other legally and emotionally before I ship out . Why put ourselves through all this ?
Kate : Honey , look . When a woman marries the man that she loves , hopefully , it only happens once , and it s the most important day in her life , and you want it to be memorable , and you want it to be special . Do nt you want that for Belle ?
Philip : Of course I do .
Kate : Okay . Well , then , we need to get going . We need to get cracking , because we need to put on the wedding of the year , and the time is ticking away .
Lucas : Did you make that call ?
Rex : Yeah , I got that one .
Mimi : Belle , this dress would look beautiful on you .
Belle : This is the -- the dress I was going to wear when I married Shawn .
Mimi : You still love Shawn , do nt you ?
Belle : How can I still love Shawn after everything he s said and done ? He s engaged to Jan.
Mimi : Belle , we have been through this before . None of that is the real issue . What are your feelings for Shawn ? If you still love him , then you are making the biggest mistake of your life if you go ahead and marry Philip .
Shawn - D : You re right , Gran . I mean , you re always right . I could always talk to Belle . She always understood what was going on with me . But ever since the accident , I , uh ... Belle and Philip are getting married now ?
Alice : Oh , yes . That was hand - delivered just before you got here .
Shawn - D : I ca nt believe this .
Alice : Well , do you intend to do something about it ?
Hope : [ Sighs ]
Jennifer : I know , what you re saying , it makes a lot of sense . If Georgia left a message for Billie , why would nt she be more specific ? And if she contacted her once , why would nt she contact her again ?
Hope : Because it s a setup . Of course , I ca nt be dead sure , but my gut tells me it is . Unfortunately , Billie s so caught up in finding Georgia , she ca nt see it .
Jennifer : All right , what about Bo ? What s his take on this whole thing ?
Hope : Well , he agrees . He thinks it s probably a hoax . But he wants to do the right thing no matter what .
Jennifer : Well , that s all well and good , but he s not going anywhere with that injury right now .
Hope : No , he s not , and he promised me , once he s better , we re going to have a family meeting and deal with Shawn .
Jennifer : Poor Shawn . All this information about Georgia -- that s the last thing he needs right now .
Hope : What Shawn needs to do right now is get his life together . God , I m so petrified he s going to go out on that stupid bike Jan got him and get himself killed .
Jennifer : I ca nt believe that he is dating Jan Spears .
Hope : He s not in love with her . He s in love with Belle . He s just too stubborn to admit it . She and Shawn are destined to be together , just like me and Bo . Oh , God , Jennifer , I swear to God , no matter what happens , he s not going anywhere . He s going to stay right here with his family .
Bo : Hold on !
Billie : I am !
Bo : Try and pull yourself up .
Billie : Okay .
Bo : Come on .
Billie : Okay .
Billie : Bo , get up !
Bo : [ Groaning ]
Billie : Oh , my -- come on , Bo !
Bo : [ Coughs ] What the hell ?
Billie : Snakes !
Bo : Aah !
Patrick : You know , Billie , you ve been at this for hours . Why do nt you take a break ? I mean , do you want your coffee ? I can heat it up for you .
Billie : No thanks . I m good .
Patrick : Okay .
Billie : Found you .
Patrick : What is it ?
Billie : It s a hidden encrypted sub - file . Looks fairly simple . I ll bet the I.S.A. program code can break it . Ha ha . There it is .
Patrick : What s it say ?
Billie : Okay , it s a series of latitudes and longitudes ... somewhere in the vicinity of the DiMera castle . I ve got to get there right away . That s probably where she is .
Patrick : Damn it , Billie , come on . The DiMera organization is onto you , okay ? They know you ve been to that castle before , and they ll be waiting for you , especially if this is some kind of trap .
Billie : Okay , and I told you that my daughter is out there somewhere . I m not giving up .
Patrick : Hey . I m not telling you to give up , okay ? I m telling you it s too dangerous to go alone , and Bo is in no condition to go with you , plus he s back with Hope , and I m sorry , he s going to stay with Hope .
Billie : Okay , so what s your point ?
Patrick : You need backup , Billie , so I m going with you .
Jennifer : Bo is so stubborn . He s going to feel obligated to go with Billie to find his daughter . You re not going to be able to stop him .
Hope : Well , you know what ? I can be just as stubborn . I swear to God to you , Jennifer , if I have to put him in a straitjacket , I ll do it .
Hope : I wonder who that could be .
Billie : Hi , Hope .
Hope : Billie , hi .
Billie : Sorry to bother you again .
Hope : You want to come in ?
Billie : Yes , thank you .
Patrick : Hey .
Jennifer : Patrick .
Hope : Patrick , hi .
Patrick : Hi , Jen .
Billie : Hi . Hi , Jen .
Jennifer : Hey .
Hope : So , um , whoo , it s cold out there . What s up ?
Billie : Well , I got another clue as to Georgia s whereabouts . I found a hidden file on one of those computer disks .
Hope : You sure it s legit this time ?
Billie : Absolutely . I m leaving town to follow up .
Patrick : Yeah , um , I m sorry , Jennifer . I wo nt be able to go with you to Philip and Belle s wedding . I m going with Billie to look for her daughter .
Hope : What ? Oh , my God . That is such a great idea . I mean , you know how the DiMeras think , and you re on our side . What more could we ask for ? I think you ll be a huge help to Billie .
Jennifer : Oh , Patrick , that could be very dangerous for you to do that .
Patrick : Uh , it s fine , it s fine . I can handle myself , and , uh , we ll be looking out for each other , so ...
Hope : How soon are you leaving ?
Bo : She s not leaving . She s not going anywhere with Lockhart .
Sami : So is my sister s wedding going to happen ?
Marguerite : It seems to be heading in that direction , but I see great drama , upset , and upheaval .
Sami : Really ? Well , in that case , I ll definitely be there and hope for the worst .
Rex : Thank you .
Philip : Perfect .
Lucas : We appreciate that .
Kate : That d be terrific . Thank you .
Philip : You know something ? I do nt believe it , but I think we re going to pull this thing off .
Kate : Well , of course we are . Your wedding to Belle is going to go off without a hitch .
Lucas : Well done .
Belle : It does nt matter what I feel for Shawn . He s made it very clear what he feels for me or does nt feel for me .
Mimi : You re avoiding my question .
Belle : I am marrying Philip . He s being shipped off . He s probably going to go into combat . I told him I m marrying him , and there s nothing even left to think about with Shawn and me -- not anymore . We ve both moved on , you know ? He s marrying Jan , and I am marrying Philip , and that is just the end of it .
Mimi : She still did nt answer ... because I know she s still in love with Shawn .
Alice : So , Shawn Douglas , what are you going to do ?
Shawn - D : Well , I guess I got a lot to think about , do nt I ?
Alice : Yeah .
Shawn - D : Thanks , Gran .
Alice : Well ... I know that you ll make the right decision .
Shawn - D : I love you . Bye .
Alice : [ Sighs ] Oh , please , Tom ... help Shawn realize who he really loves and who he needs to be with .
Celeste : [ Gasps ] Something terrible is going to happen here .
Jan : Shawn , what are you thinking about ?
Shawn - D : You really want to know ?
Belle : I am not marrying Shawn .
Mimi : But you wish you were , do nt you ?
Man : You know I ca nt give you drugs .
John : Well , that s where you re wrong , Agent Sparrow . You can , and you will .
Hope : You knew the minute Bo heard about it , he d insist on going with you . Is nt that what you really want ?

### Dialogue:
Ava : What s up , bro ? Get your hands off me .
Derek : It s ok , Ava . This is Officer Collins .
Ava : I do nt see his badge anywhere .
Derek : Well , you re about to take down a bigtime drug dealer . You want to advertise there are police watching ?
Ava : Well , what are we supposed to do ? He changed the location of the meeting and the time .
Derek : Well , we have to modify the plan before you two meet up .
Ava : What do you mean , modify ?
Derek : Do you think you can get what we need from this guy without him getting too close ?
Ava : Too close ? I m sorry , I do nt get this at all .
Derek : Well , since the party moved from the boathouse to the shoreline , my colleagues and I lost our front - row seats , so since we ca nt wire a public beach , we have to wire you instead .
Ava : Is this a joke ?
Derek : No joke . And if you go through with this , your number one priority is to make sure that Lenny keeps his hands to himself .
Greenlee s voice : Kendall , I want you to know this is nt about excuses or trying to make things right . I know I ca nt fix what I ve done -- ever , especially not in a letter , but I had to do something , find some way to tell you how sorry I am .
Greenlee : I am so , so sorry .
Ryan : So I hung the hoop up in -- in your room at home , right above your crib . It s awesome . It comes with these soft little balls in different colors . There s a -- there s a red ball , there s blue , green , yellow -- actually , the same exact colors that are on this block right here , same as this right here and soft like this , too . It s going to be great . You can just lie back in your crib , and you can just shoot free throw after free throw after free throw .
Joe : Hmm . I m afraid your son wo nt be leaving today , Ryan .
Kendall : I need to be two people , ok ? But I ca nt be . Spike needs me and Ian needs me , and I m not enough . I ca nt help them , Zach . I ca nt help my babies , and I do nt know what to do .
Zach : Shh . Ok . It s ok . Come on .
Kendall : No , no , no , it s not ok , it s not ok .
Zach : Calm down . I think your brother had a good idea . Let s go for a walk --
Kendall : No --
Zach : Get some fresh air .
Kendall : Are you listening to me ? I ca nt leave them , I can not leave my sons .
Zach : Ian is with Josh , Spike s with Ryan . They re in good hands .
Kendall : No , I m not going to go , I ca nt go . I ca nt .
Zach : Your sons needs you .
Kendall : That s what I m saying , that s my point , exactly . They need their mothers , my sons need me .
Zach : Not like this . Not like this .
Greenlee s voice : My life s been about you and Ryan for so long , even while I was away . But if I could just remember who I was way back when , maybe I d actually recognize myself now , because the girl I see in the mirror lately -- she s a stranger , Kendall . And I finally get why everyone wants her gone . I ve made every mistake in the book since I ve come back , caused a ton of heartache . I know that . I hate that . But how -- how can I leave like this ? I have to at least try and make things right . I d like to still think that I matter to you somehow , somewhere , but maybe I m wrong . Maybe I m not as important as I think I am .
Greenlee : What am I doing ? She does nt care .
Kendall : This -- this is nt right , Zach . Take me back .
Zach : We just got here . Hospital s right there .
Kendall : How can I sit here and enjoy sunshine and chirping birds when Spike and Ian are in the hospital in those stuffy rooms listening to chirping heart monitors ?
Zach : You re worried sick for your boys . I m worried , too . And I m worried about their mom . So let me do this , ok ?
Kendall : This is nt going to help me .
Zach : You re recovering from surgery , stressed beyond belief , but you know what ? If you do nt air out your brain for five minutes , wo nt do any good to either one of those boys .
Kendall : I hate this . I hate that this happened . I hate that I ca nt be with them every single second of every single day , and I hate that there s not a damn thing I can do about it .
Zach : Well , nothing went according to plan . Ian decided to come a little early , and it could ve been a disaster , but it was nt . Babe and you got him there in time , and he s alive , stable . And Spike -- he s on the mend , you know ? We got a lot of things to be thankful for .
Kendall : But -- I -- I do nt know what to do for them . I -- I -- there s nothing I can do .
Zach : What are you talking about ? You do all kinds of things for these boys -- I mean , think about it . Yours was the first face that Spike saw when he woke up . Do nt underestimate that .
Kendall : I want to be the first face that he sees every time he wakes up .
Zach : I know . You re doing the best you can under the circumstances . It wo nt be this way forever .
Kendall : Another day is too long , Zach . They re babies . They re hurt and they re scared and they need their mom 24/7 .
Zach : Kendall , come on --
Kendall : No , listen to me . I said -- I swore -- that I would not be a mother unless I could do it right . This is not right , Zach . I -- I want to do good , I want to be a good mom to my boys , but I feel like the cards are stacked against me . What if I m not enough ?
Ryan : Is -- is Spike all right ?
Joe : Well , let s see . Hematocrit s steady , fever down , no more internal bleeding . Infection clearing up . If he keeps improving like this , we re not going to have to remove his spleen .
Ryan : Huh . Oh , do you hear that , little Spike ?
Joe : However , I still --
Ryan : We re going to be able to pound that hoop even sooner than you thought .
Joe : Well , in any case , I -- I still meant it when I said that you ca nt pack his bags just quite yet .
Ryan : Well , what -- what do you mean ? I mean , you said he s getting better , that he s doing well .
Joe : Well , better -- I know , yeah , better , but that s not full recovery and that s what we re after , because the little fellow ca nt tell us how he s feeling , we have to keep on monitoring him very closely .
Ryan : All right , but the odds are that there s nothing seriously wrong with him and --
Joe : Well , I do nt know what the odds are . I just know that we take incidents of head trauma very seriously , especially in infants .
Ryan : So , what does that mean for Spike ?
Joe : Oh , regular CT scans which will help us rule out any real threats . But in general , we just want to keep him relaxed and still as possible for the time being . I mean , I know you re anxious to get him home -- I am , too .
Ryan : But I just want him healthy .
Joe : Yeah . Best way to bring that about .
Ryan : So , you know , about how much longer ?
Joe : Well , if all goes well -- and it seems to be -- I d say we re looking at a week , which should give you time to recover .
Ryan : Me ?
Joe : You . You re exhausted , big guy . We want to do something about that .
Ryan : I m fine .
Joe : Yeah .
Ryan : I m --
Annie : Hi .
Ryan : Hey .
Annie : Bad time ?
Joe : No , no , no , no . Actually -- come in , please . I m glad to have the backup . I ve been insisting that your husband try and get some much - needed rest .
Annie : Hmm . You took the words right out of my mouth , Dr. Martin .
Ryan : Ok , all right , you two . I am not tired .
Joe : No , no -- rest , uninterrupted sleep .
Joe : I think he s about ready to take a nap . Why do nt you take advantage of that and get away for a while , huh , please ?
Ryan : All right , thank you .
Joe : Ok .
Ryan : Thanks .
Joe : Bye .
Annie : I brought something that might help distract you .
Ava : This is suicide , man . Forget it .
Derek : Ava , it s going to be fine .
Ava : No , no , it s not . I -- I ve seen Donnie Brasco . I know what happened to people who wear these things , ok ? No , thank you .
Jack : I got here as fast as I could .
Ava : Why -- why is he here ? Why does he have to be here ? You re not a cop .
Jack : Because if it were nt for me , you would nt be here , Ava . That s why .
Ava : Oh , and I m supposed to thank you for that ? Well , thank you . Did you know about this ? They want me to wear one of these things .
Jack : No , no , I just heard . I guess it s because of the change of location , right ? That s the only way they feel that they can catch this guy .
Ava : Well , then , let s not catch him , ok ? I mean , I love my sister and everything , but what s worse -- having Lily find out that I framed Sean or being shot in the head by Lenny after he finds out I was taping our conversation ?
Derek : No one s going to shoot you , Ava .
Jack : If you re the least bit uncomfortable about this , please say so .
Derek : Look , the building we re parked behind is right across from the beach . We ll hear every word between you . If we sense you re in any danger , we ll be on Lenny like a flash .
Man : If this is happening , we need to do it now . We need to test the equipment before the decoy can approach the suspect .
Woman : Make sure whatever you do , the guy does nt pat you down .
Ava : Ok , excuse me -- I never said I was going to wear this thing .
Jack : Ok , ok , ok -- look , this girl is doing us a favor . Show her a little respect -- how about it ?
Derek : Look , I let you come here as an observer because it was your idea , Jack , but observation is as far as it goes . When it comes to my team , you do nt have any authority .
Jack : Ok . Sorry , Derek , sorry , team . She s awfully nervous , and I do nt think this extra pressure is helping her one little bit .
Derek : Ok , look , if you do nt think you can hack this , pull out now . I mean it .
Ava : I never said I could nt hack this . I just think it s not worth the risk .
Jack : And that s understandable because for you , this is about clearing Sean s name , protecting your sister , keeping her in the dark . But for the police , this is about taking a major dealer off the street .
Derek : You do nt know how many cases we get every year , kids dead from drugs . Now , I ve been trying to put this guy away for a long time , so either you re 100 % onboard or we call it a day right now .
Ava : What the hell .
Jack : There s still time to change your mind , Ava .
Ava : No , it s fine -- ahem . I ve done way scarier things than this in Philly , and when you think about it , it s actually kind of minor league .
Jack : Sean , what is it ? I ca nt talk to you about that right now . Yeah -- yes , I m working on it . I ca nt go into details , all right ? Sean , goodbye .
Derek : Turn it off , Jack .
Jack : I d love to , Derek , but right now , my family s in a state of emergency , so --
Derek : I m sorry to hear that , but if you want to stay in this van , the phone goes . Thank you .
Jack : Why did this guy have to change the location ? We were set up in the other place .
Ava : That s actually what I want to know , too . Do you think that maybe Lenny s on to us ? Do you think that he s setting me up for becoming a narc ? Do you think maybe I m the one walking into a trap ?
Ryan : Wow .
Emma : Open your eyes .
Ryan : Oh .
Annie : Oh --
Ryan : Wow ! Wait a minute -- I thought we were still in the hospital . You must be magic .
Emma : We re still in the hospital .
Ryan : We are ? I do nt understand . I do nt -- I do nt recognize it .
Annie : Well , Emma knew that you would nt want to leave Spike , so she planned a picnic in the hospital . Did nt you ?
Ryan : You did ? When did you get so smart , huh ? When did she get so smart ? Did she have a little bit of help from her mom ?
Annie : Hmm -- this much .
Ryan : Yeah ? About that much -- is that right ?
Annie : And -- show him . Oh -- oh , and this is for Spike .
Ryan : Are you serious ?
Annie : Wow .
Ryan : This -- this is honestly the best one that you ve ever , ever drawn . This is so beautiful . You know what I m going to do is I m going to hang this up right next to the other ones that you made for Spike . Is that a good idea ?
Emma : Can I hang it ?
Ryan : Oh . I do nt -- I do nt think so , honey .
Emma : Why not ?
Ryan : Because it s still a little bit too early for you to visit your brother .
Emma : Is Spike ever going to come home ?
Kendall : I am beyond grateful that Spike and Ian seem to be getting better . But until Joe tells me that they completely healed and ready to get out of that hospital and go home , then I m going to worry .
Zach : Now you re just looking for trouble .
Kendall : No , look , that s -- that s where my mind goes . And what if -- what if something happens to Spike while I m with Ian ? Or what if something happens to Ian while I m with Spike ? What if Spike s accident left him traumatized for life ? Or what if Ian dies ? And we have to get him one of those tiny little grave markers ?
Zach : Stop .
Kendall : The kind that makes you sick every time you walk past them ?
Zach : Just stop it , please .
Kendall : I mean , what if he dies , Zach ? What if we have to bury our son ? God -- Ethan . I m sorry , Zach .
Zach : I buried one son already . I m not going to bury another .
Jack : Are you sure this is safe , sending her out there ?
Derek : Your idea -- do I think your idea is safe ? Yes , Jack , I do . Otherwise , I would nt have agreed to it .
Jack : What s this dealer s name ?
Ava : It s Lenny .
Jack : Does he have a history of violence , anything on record ?
Derek : Physical violence , no , but he is a two - time loser , and this bust could put him away for life .
Jack : Oh , good -- so he ll be really desperate . I do nt like this .
Ava : Jack , chill out . I can totally handle this .
Jack : Really ? Tell me something , Ava -- do you always jump 10 feet when a telephone rings ?
Ava : Well , no , but the way I see it , if he wanted to start trouble , he would nt have moved our meeting to a public beach in broad daylight , so hopefully he just wants to make a quick score and go .
Jack : And five minutes ago , you were ready to walk right out that door and go home .
Derek : Are we doing this or not ?
Ava : Yeah , we re going to do this .
Derek : Ok . You do as I say , and it ll be over in a few minutes .
Ava : Ok , so I just he to make the transaction , right ?
Jack : No , no . What you need to do is have him say what drug he s selling you and how much it costs . You do that before you take possession -- now , you got it ?
Derek : Now , after you ve made the transaction , stay on the beach , let Lenny leave before you . Either Jack or I will come and get you .
Ava : Ok .
Jack : That means you do nt move until we show up . All right , Ava ?
Ava : Ok . But there wo nt be any pictures or anything , right , like in court or in the papers , because my Fusion boss says no bad publicity .
Derek : No pictures . These bills are marked in case you re envisioning yourself in Burberry plaid . I have a daughter your age . Now , if you feel any sense of danger , the code word is impossible .
Ava : Like this whole thing is impossible ? Joking .
Derek : Ready ?
Ava : Yep .
Jack : I really do nt like this .
Lenny : Damn .
Ava : Hey , man . Sorry I m late .
Lenny : Yeah , I was starting to take it personal .
Ava : Well , why did you change everything on me at the last minute ?
Lenny : I figured , you know , I d surprise you . You re a girl who likes surprises , right ?
Ryan : So I told Spike about all the beautiful artwork you ve been making to decorate his room at home and for the big homecoming , and he just can not wait to see it .
Emma : Why did Spike get sick ?
Ryan : Well , um , it was an accident .
Emma : When Kathy s mom went to the hospital , she went to live in heaven . Does Spike want to live in heaven ?
Ryan : No . No , honey , Spike wants to live with his mommy and daddy and his stepmom and his stepdad , and his little brother . But you know who he wants to live with most of all -- his big sister , Emma . I know that for a fact .
Annie : Mm - hmm . He misses you so much , sweetheart , but the -- the nurses and the doctors are working really hard to get him better so he can come home to us soon .
Emma : I know why Spike is getting better -- it s not the doctors .
Ryan : Huh . It s not , huh ? Well , then why is it ?
Emma : Because God listens to my prayers .
Ryan : He sure does .
Emma : That s a pretty color .
Ryan : Thank you . I stole it from Mommy .
Annie : I heard that -- give it back .
Ryan : Oh , no , no , not really .
Annie : Give it back , give it back , give it back .
Emma : I went outside the lines .
Ryan : You did ? But I love it when you do that . I think that looks great .
Annie : Yeah . Very abstract . I wish I could color the way you do .
Emma : Ready ?
Ryan : Well -- you hold on a second . I got a couple of little -- little details here I have to finish up .
Annie : All right .
Ryan : Ok , and --
Annie : Here we go .
Ryan : Voila .
Annie : Oh .
Greenlee : You know , Spikey , I never meant to hurt you or scare you or make you cry or make you call for your mom . I know how much you need her , how much you love her . I love her , too . You know , there was a time where I could nt even wake up in the morning without her , I loved her that much . I loved your daddy that much , too . But it turns out that we have a different idea of love . Mine is nt as popular . Maybe because it makes me run away and hide and crash perfect weddings and file obnoxious lawsuits . Steal innocent babies . I hope that someday you know everything that your mom did for me and all the sacrifices she was willing to make . That s why losing her is so hard -- because I will never have a friend like Kendall again . I hope that someday she lets me tell her how sorry I am , and your daddy , too . And that they ll really listen and really believe me . But for now , you re the only one I can talk to . And if I have to apologize to anyone , it s you , Spike . I m so sorry . I am so incredibly sorry .
Kendall : I m so sorry , Zach . How could I forget about Ethan ?
Zach : Ahem . You have two small children in trouble , so you re imagining the worst scenario . Do nt do that .
Kendall : I do nt want to be a downer . I -- I want to believe that everything will be ok .
Zach : Well , then believe it . You know what ? Preparing yourself for the worst wo nt make it hurt any less if it does happen , so you may as well prepare yourself for the best . Our boys have been getting better from the time they got to the hospital . Think about it -- you know , we gave them to the ICU and they said they did nt know if they could help Ian unless he made it through the first hour . You did that . And then , they said they did nt know what his chances were going to be until he made it through the first day -- he did that . He s here , he s alive . And Spike , man , he -- he survived the accident , he survived the surgery , and now he s -- he s awake , he s alert , playing with toys . Our boys have already beat the odds , and they re going to continue to keep doing just that .
Kendall : I m sorry , Mr. Rah - rah , but where is my husband ? The man that I know and love is just as pessimistic as I am .
Zach : Whoa , easy . He s cynical , not pessimistic -- very different .
Kendall : Hmm .
Zach : Roll with that .
Zach : See , that s nice -- that smile . Hold on to that . It gives the boys hope . The way we re going , Ian s going to be out of that warmer and Spike s going to be home , blink of an eye .
Kendall : Home ? No , I ca nt take Spike home . There s no way that I can leave Ian .
Lenny : What s wrong ?
Ava : Nothing wrong -- what are you talking about ?
Lenny : Well , you do nt seem as friendly as the last time .
Ava : Well , that was then , this is now . So , are we going to do this ? Show me what you have .
Lenny : Thought you wanted the usual .
Ava : I m open to suggestions .
Lenny : Huh -- whose money are you spending ?
Ava : A good friend s , and he wants what I want , so give me my options .
Lenny : Well , you tell me . You want something to relax , forget about your problems , or you want something to dance to ?
Ava : Um -- relax , I guess . Which one does that ?
Lenny : Hmm .
Jack : Just give her the name of the drug -- she s getting flustered .
Derek : Do nt break now , Ava . Stay on him .
Ava : So , come on , Lenny -- which drug is best ?
Lenny : Well , you know , I ve always been fond of Elaine , but her price has gone up since she last danced , so you sure you can afford her ?
Ava : How much ?
Lenny : Now , that s a serious load you re carrying . What s with you going all bigtime on me , Ava ?
Ava : Look , do you want to ask questions or do you want to do this ?
Lenny : I want to know what the deal is with you , girl , because there s something different about you today .
Ava : You want to know what s different about me today ? I m sitting here on a beach holding a wad of cash trying not to attract attention while I buy drugs , ok ?
Lenny : There s nobody looking .
Ava : Lenny , come on . Just hook me up , take the money , and go .
Lenny : Well , you re in some kind of hurry , huh ?
Ava : And you re getting on my nerves . What s the holdup ? I mean , do nt you have anything ? I want to see what you have .
Lenny : You know , I do nt think I like rich Ava . You get your hands on some money and then all of a sudden you think you can rush me , you can talk down to me ?
Ava : I m not , ok ? I m not . I just want to get this over with .
Lenny : Well , you used to like having me around -- remember ? It was you who shoved your tongue down my throat at the boathouse , right ?
Ava : Oh , come on , you were there . You saw that guy on my back . I had to do something to get him off and that was the perfect way .
Lenny : Oh . I feel so hurt , so used . Lucky for you , I actually liked it . I mean , is there anybody else around you want to tick off because -- nah -- I m not doing anything right now .
Ava : Yes , you are , Lenny . Give me what I came for . You know what I want .
Lenny : The question is , what do I want ?
Jack : He s playing with her now .
Derek : I ve got nothing , Jack , not a damn thing .
Ava : Is this happening or not ?
Lenny : Depends on what this is .
Ava : This deal . I showed you my money , and I m still waiting to hear from you what the hell I m going to get for it . Do you want this money or not ?
Jack : So why wo nt he answer her ?
Derek : She has nt used the code word yet .
Jack : Oh , come on , Derek . What the hell is going on out there ?
Lenny : Sun s really beating down , is nt it ?
Ava : You know , it s not bothering me .
Lenny : Oh , you know what ? I think it is . I think you d feel a lot better if you cooled off some .
Ava : Are you going to show me what you brought or are nt you ?
Lenny : Why do nt you take off that little pretty shirt of yours and show me what you got first ?
Lenny : I m waiting .
Kendall : I m not ready .
Zach : Well , get ready . I ll call the house , get the nursery done , and stock it up , you know ?
Kendall : No , no , no , Zach , not -- not the nursery . I m not ready for Ian . He was nt even supposed to be here yet . He was supposed to be inside of me , growing and getting used to my voice and learning how to love me . You know , we were getting into this little rhythm actually . I would talk to him and I would sing to him . Then he would kick me once if he loved something or twice if he hated it . And now that he s here , I m practically a stranger to him .
Zach : What are you talking about ?
Kendall : I ca nt breastfeed him . I ca nt kiss him , I ca nt even hold him .
Zach : He knows who you are , he knows your voice , your smell , and your touch .
Kendall : Yeah , but I want to give him so much more .
Zach : Oh , honey . You ve given these two boys the most incredible , timeless gift -- you ve given them your spirit . That s what got them through -- strength to fight and stay alive .
Kendall : Yeah , but I only have one shot at this , Zach -- one . I do nt want to mess things up for them .
Zach : You re an incredible mother to these boys -- so lucky to have you .
Kendall : What ? Me ? Me -- ok . You re the one who s , like , all levelheaded here and -- and staying calm . I m the one who s freaking out .
Zach : Mm - hmm . Then when I freak out , you can be levelheaded .
Kendall : Oh , yeah .
Zach : Could happen . We re here . We re the best chance they have . So we love each other , we love them . We re strong . So let s do this , ok ?
Kendall : Ok . Let s go see our boys .
Greenlee : You were there , Spike . You know what happened . You know that I tried to make it right , that I was bringing you back to your mom . God . I never meant for it to be like this . I know you wo nt remember what happened between us in the car before we went off the road . You wo nt even remember me coming to see you today , but somewhere deep inside , you re going to know the truth because you saw it , you felt it . You ll be the only one out there who really , truly knows . Do you know that they want me to leave town ? They think I m the sole reason that their lives are nt perfect . I know I have nt been easy , but I m not taking credit for all of their misery . You know they -- they would probably never say it out loud , but they missed me while I was gone , and they would miss me again , because Ryan and Kendall and I , we just -- we have this connection that -- that ll never die . And I guarantee that even if they never let me back into their lives , if you keep your ears open , you ll hear my name .
Ryan : So , soon , you can tell Spike about all the amazing pictures you ve been making him .
Annie : Yes -- just not today , sweetheart we have to wait here for Rachael . She s going to take you to the park while Mommy and Daddy show Spike all your new artwork , ok ?
Ryan : But you know what ? I have to tell you , honestly , that I had more fun today than I ve had in -- I do nt even remember how long .
Annie : Me , too .
Ryan : Yeah ?
Emma : Me , three .
Ryan : Yeah ? You sure ?
Ryan : I wish I knew who to thank for today , though -- really .
Annie : Hmm .
Ryan : You know ? Should I thank Mommy ?
Annie : Thanks , Emma .
Ryan : Really ? Because I was thinking of thanking myself -- you know , thank me .
Annie : No !
Ryan : Really -- no ?
Annie and Emma : No !
Ryan : No ? Ok .
Annie : Silly .
Ryan : All right -- thank you , Mommy .
Annie : Aw .
Ryan : Thank you . Thank you , Princess Emmaline .
Annie : Is Daddy being silly ?
Ryan : Thank you , thank you .
Annie : He s being silly .
Ryan : You know I love you ?
Emma : He s being really silly .
Annie : And you re ticklish --
Ryan : You re silly .
Emma : Oh , yeah , yeah , yeah .
Annie : Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah .
Ryan : Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah .
Emma : Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah .
Annie : Look at this . Look at this . Tioh
Emma : Yeah , yeah , yeah , ah .
Ryan : Sometimes I go like that .
Emma : Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah .
Ava : What do you think I am -- a freakin hooker ? Get serious and quit drooling .
Lenny : Oh , I am serious . Show me what you got in there .
Ava : Knock it off , Lenny .
Lenny : Oh , you think I m buying the shy act now , do you , huh ?
Ava : I m going to scream . I ll scream so loud , I swear . Will you -- what are you doing , you freak ?
Lenny : I m making sure you re not wired , because if you are , you made a serious mistake , Ava .
Derek : Get ready to move .
Greenlee : Look , Kendall --
Kendall : Get the hell away from my son . Do nt you touch my son ! Stay the hell away from him !
Greenlee : I just -- I -- oh ! I m so sorry .
Kendall : Stay away from him !
Zach : Kendall ?
Greenlee : I m sorry .
Zach : There s something wrong with Spike .
Lenny : Do nt come any closer .
Derek : Toss out the gun and give me the girl , and we can talk .
Adam ( to Erica ) : So you re Zach s guard dog now ? Is that it ?

### Dialogue:
James : What are you doing here ?
Starr : What do you think ?
Gigi : Whoo !
Cristian : Oh .
Gigi : Wow .
Kelly : What the hell was that ?
Both : Whoa .
Gigi : Where did that come from ?
Cristian : I have no idea , but I m thinking -- I do nt know . The champagne , the view , Paris .
Gigi : You have nt been , all this time -- you have nt been looking at me and--
Cristian : No . No , no . I mean , not that you re --
Gigi : Right .
Cristian : What about you ?
Gigi : Me ?
Cristian : Have you been thinking of me--
Gigi : No , never , not that you re not--
Cristian : It s the champagne . Good stuff .
Gigi : Yeah , definitely . Definitely the champagne .
Cristian : Yeah . So now what ?
Rex : What the hell was that ? You kissed me .
Kelly : I did nt see you trying to stop me .
Rex : I m sorry . I must be drunker than I thought . There s no way that I would ever--
Kelly : Oh , really ?
Rex : Just please accept my apologies . I did nt know what I was doing .
Kelly : Could ve fooled me .
Cristian : Ca nt take back that kiss .
Gigi : What do you mean ?
Cristian : Gigi , we re in Paris . Voulez - vous coucher avec moi ?
Gigi : Huh ?
Cristian : What do you say we go back to my room , rip off all our clothes , and have wild French sex ?
Rex : That kiss was an impulse because -- where the hell is Echo DiSavoy ? She was supposed to tell me something about my parents .
Viki : Echo , we ve waited long enough . Now who are Rex Balsom s parents ?
Echo : Your wife needs a new hobby , Chuckles .
Viki : I m pretty sure I already know the answer . I just want to hear it from you .
Langston : What were you going to say before ?
Ford : I was just wondering if maybe--
Dorian : Good night , Mr. Ford . Langston wants nothing to do with you .
Langston : That is not true .
Dorian : I beg your pardon ?
Langston : You heard what I said . It s not true that I do nt want anything to do with you .
Marty : I did nt think I d be here myself , but I had to get out of the house .
John : I know that was hard , being at Statesville today .
Marty : It was hell , but I think I ve found a way to cope .
Natalie : I m so sorry about Cole .
Marty : Me , too .
John : That kid s had it rough .
Marty : And now so will Natalie .
James : Starr . Starr . Starr .
Starr : Make love to me .
Dorian : Langston , all of the excitement has gone to your head . She does nt know what she s saying .
Langston : Okay , do nt speak for me .
Dorian : You are nt making any sense . She told all of the Cramer women that she was through with you . She made a vow .
Langston : No , you made a vow . I never promised anything .
Dorian : Did you put something in her drink ?
Langston : No , he did nt put anything in my drink .
Ford : I would never drug anybody , and I resent the fact--
Dorian : You need to go home .
Langston : No .
Dorian : Young lady , you need to be with your family at a time like this , and your family needs you . Poor Starr . Cole is headed to prison .
James : Whoa , whoa . Hey , just slow down a second .
Starr : Why ? Why ?
James : Starr , stop ! Let s talk about this .
Starr : I do nt want to talk ! I do nt want to talk .
James : Hey . Cole just left for prison , Starr . What are you doing ?
Starr : This is what he told me to do . He wants me to be with you .
James : What ?
Bo : I m sorry about earlier .
Nora : Earlier ?
Bo : Yeah , when I had to take off with Inez to help talk to her son because her ex - husband , the car thief -- he beats this rap in Dayton , and then he shows up on the boys front step . She s worried about her sons , so she asked me to have a little talk with the old man .
Nora : Yeah , well , that makes sense .
Bo : Ow . Why is your jaw clenched so tight ? Aw , come on , honey .
Nora : Oh , say , is nt that that handsome , young attorney from the D.A. s office ? Maybe I should go show him how to work the copying machine . Ha ha ha !
Bo : Why do nt you tell me his name , and maybe I ll arrest him .
Nora : Hey , as long as it s me you re coming home to .
Bo : Always . Are we good ?
Nora : Maybe I should show him where to put the toner .
Bo : No , how about I show you where to put the toner ?
Nora : Mmm . I do nt mind .
Inez : I m sorry you missed Danielle sing . She was amazing .
Clint : Yeah . Sorry I missed that .
Inez : Everything okay ?
Clint : Everything s fine . It s all under control
Viki : You know something about Rex s parents . Why do nt you just drop your little bomb ? That s why you re here , right ?
Clint : Rex broke into the offices of Buchanan Enterprises . He was caught red- handed . That s called corporate espionage . It carries with it a lengthy penalty , so whenever I wish , I could send him away for a long , long time .
Echo : I m here to work . Smile .
Kelly : You re gon na blame the kiss on Echo DiSavoy ?
Rex : No , I m just not myself because of Echo DiSavoy .
Kelly : Well , yourself is not to blame . I m the one who leaned in first .
Rex : I kissed you back .
Kelly : Yeah , you did .
Rex : I should nt have .
Kelly : Why ?
Rex : Because I m with Gigi .
Kelly : Yeah . She s in Paris .
Rex : Yeah , doing who knows what with some Frenchman . What if Gigi s still mad at me for telling Adriana that we have nt had sex yet that she jumps on the first guy she sees ?
Gigi : Cristian , you re engaged to Layla , remember ?
Cristian : Yeah , yeah , I remember . I do nt think she does .
Gigi : Sure , she does .
Cristian : Then where is she , huh ? I fly halfway across the world to be with her , and she dumps me for some Milanese male models . Milanese male models . That s not so easy to say when you ve had as much champagne as we ve had .
Gigi : Milanese male models .
Cristian : And besides , I paid a small fortune to upgrade to a king - sized bed and a hot tub and a view of the Eiffel tower . Why should we let all that luxury go to waste , huh ?
Gigi : You know what ? It would serve Rex right after what he did to me .
Natalie : You know what ? I m starving . Do you want to hit the buffet ?
John : What was that you just said ? Natalie s gon na have it rough ?
Natalie : Yeah , you know what ? I think she was talking about the baby . It s a lot of work .
Marty : That s a nice try , but actually , John , I m afraid I have some bad news for you . Your girlfriend is a liar .
James : You do nt know what you re saying right now , okay ?
Starr : Yes , I do .
James : Starr , listen to me . You are not ready for this , not right now . Your life is a mess , okay ? You were just kidnapped twice . Hope s babysitter was murdered . Your daughter s life was threatened , Starr . You watched me get buried alive , and you were almost killed yourself . And now your boyfriend is being shipped off to prison for 10 years , okay ? You do nt want to just start something new . That s not what you want .
Starr : It s what Cole wants !
James : What do you mean ?
Starr : He told me -- he broke up with me , okay ? He wants me to move on . He wants me to forget about him with you .
Natalie : You know what ? It s been a long day . Marty had to say good - bye to her son , which I know was nt easy , and nothing means more to you than your child , so why do nt we just say good night ?
Marty : Is that what you want , John -- just to say good night ?
John : No . I want to know why you re calling Natalie a liar .
Marty : Why not ? Oh , no , no . Shoot . That s right . Because she s miss honesty , except she is nt . Your pregnant girlfriend here is a liar , and I can prove it .
Langston : Dorian , my relationship with Ford is none of your business .
Dorian : He does nt have relationships . He has conquests , lots of them .
Ford : You do nt know the first thing about me or your daughter .
Langston : Ford , I--
Ford : Listen . Langston does nt want you running her life , so how about you back off and let her speak for herself ?
Dorian : Young man , you have no idea with whom you are dealing .
Rex : I can see her now , sitting on the lap of some champagne - swilling , beret- sporting , frog - eating French guy in a cafe on the west bank .
Kelly : Left bank , in this case .
Rex : Wherever .
Kelly : Whoo ! Gigi will get over it . So you were a little indiscreet with Adriana . So what ? Who cares ?
Rex : You do nt know Gigi . That girl is stubborn and impulsive . She could be married and divorced by the time she gets back . Not that I do nt have my moments . That kiss .
Kelly : I kissed you .
Rex : Why did you ?
Kelly : It was an experiment . I lost my spark . It s just gone . I was hoping maybe you could help me fire it up again .
Gigi : If Rex can sleep with Kelly , I can sleep with you , right ? So come on . Let s light up that king - sized bed , and that hot tub -- fill her up . Bring on the overpriced champagne because we re gon na drown in it .
Cristian : You know , beer has got bubbles , too .
Gigi : His favorite beer . It ll serve him right .
Cristian : Yeah . Layla , too . Her and her Maltese models .
Gigi : Millioneze .
Rex : Yeah , them , too . When did you get so sexy ?
Gigi : Me ? I do nt know . Maybe it s the champagne .
Cristian : It s working . We gon na do this ?
Echo : Come on , Commissioner . Act like you love the woman . There you go .
Viki : Do you see that ? She refused to answer my question . Obviously , she s hiding something .
Charlie : Okay .
Viki : No , darling , it is not okay . She knows something . She as much as admitted it , did nt she ? And she promised Rex that she would give him answers about his parents .
Charlie : She promised Rex -- not you , not me .
Viki : But you are involved , or you could be involved , and she knows that . Otherwise , she would have answered my questions . Sweetheart , we can not hide from the truth . You said it yourself . Far too many people are affected by this .
Charlie : Echo , can I have a minute ?
Echo : I m just--
Charlie : I know , but this wo nt take long . I just -- look . I do nt want to pry into your personal business , but Viki seems to think that there s a possibility that you might be Rex s mother with me as the father .
Inez : So if you know what time you want to be over there , then I ll make sure that the boys get Eddie home .
Clint : Who s Eddie ?
Inez : He s my ex - husband . He s managed to avoid jail . He s a car thief , and now he s forced his way into living with my sons .
Bo : Inez asked me if I could rattle his cage a little bit , see if we could get him to head back home to Dayton .
Inez : Yeah . He s got a very violent temper , and I do nt want him anywhere near my children .
Clint : I can certainly understand that . What I ca nt understand is , why did nt you ask me to handle it ?
Langston : Okay , can we not do this here , please ? Everybody s just trying to have a good time .
Dorian : Oh , no . Mr. Ford is far too concerned with his own good time to care about anybody else s .
Ford : Listen , your daughter and I might have some history , but it has nothing to do with you , so I ll repeat myself . Back off .
Dorian : Langston is my daughter , and I will not be told to back off , not by the likes of you .
Langston : Oh , my--
Dorian : I would protect her with my life , and if you choose to fight me , you will not win .
Ford : You do nt scare me , Mayor Lord .
Dorian : Oh ! You know , I have security guards who could break that terrific jaw of yours with one punch .
Langston : Oh , my God . It was you . You were the one who had Ford beat up .
Clint : I m sure my little brother would be happy to help , but why involve the police ? I can be very persuasive . Let me take care of your ex - husband .
Bo : Inez was right to come to me . This is a police matter .
Clint : Yeah , but the guy beat the charges . What are the police gon na do ?
Bo : What are you gon na do ? Go after a guy with your shotgun ? That s the last thing they need , Clint .
James : I understand if Cole wants you to move on with your life , okay ? But I can guarantee he did nt mean tonight .
Starr : You do nt want me .
James : Starr , come on . You know how much I want you . Just -- just not like this , okay ? Not when you re heartbroken over Cole , not when you re angry about how things turned out . This is nt what you want , Starr . I know it is nt .
Rex : What are you talking about ? You ve got a ton of spark . Look at you . Yowsa . You re hot .
Kelly : Sorry . No sale .
Rex : Why not ? Because you have nt gone skydiving in the last week or bungee jumping or tornado tracking ?
Kelly : I m a reporter , not a weather girl .
Rex : Yes , that s my point . You ve got an awesome career . You got a smoking - hot body , in or out of a towel , plus you ve got family , friends , money . You got it all .
Kelly : Then why do I feel so disconnected ?
Rex : Well , maybe because you re lonely .
Kelly : Lonely ? I thought you just said I have work and family and friends .
Rex : Right , but you said it yourself . There s no guy .
Kelly : Right . No guy .
Rex : So maybe that s why you re a little drifty .
Kelly : That s exactly it . I m drifty . I m drifty . I m drifty .
Rex : But you ve got to know that you can have anybody you want , as long as they re available -- single , not married .
Kelly : I know what the word means .
Rex : So get out there . As soon as you figure it out , what it is that you want , it ll happen .
Kelly : Just like that ?
Rex : Just like that .
Marty : There s something you need to see , John .
Natalie : What is that ?
Marty : It s a record of a medical test you had done , and it s gon na show your little girlfriend here in a whole new light . For someone that could nt possibly bend the rules so that my son could avoid going to a penitentiary for 10 years , it turns out that she s only honest when it suits her .
Starr : You re right . I do nt want any part of you , not now and not ever .
James : You do nt mean that .
Starr : I want my life back the way it used to be when Cole and I were together and when Langston and Markko , we all lived together . We were happy . We had everything . We had a daughter and family and friends and-- can you give that to me ? No . So what good are you ? Get out . Get out . I never want to see you again .
John : What is this ?
Marty : Well , you re aware that Natalie had an amniocentesis last week . If you read the instructions to the lab--
John : Are these the results ? Is there something wrong with the baby ?
Marty : No , not the results , just the record of the test that she--
John : Look . I already know you had amnio . Why do you have a copy of it ?
Natalie : How the hell did you get your hands on my medical records ?
Marty : Oh , you know , it-- on my desk by mistake , and as John s friend--
Natalie : As John s friend , you show up at a party that we re at and bring my medical records with you so that you can prove that I m a liar ?
Marty : You are a liar . Read it .
John : Natalie already told me why she did what she did .
Marty : Are you sure about that ?
Cristian : So what are we gon na do ? We gon na go upstairs ?
Gigi : What do you want to do ?
Cristian : Ha ha ha ! I asked you first .
Kelly : So you really think I ve got some spark ?
Rex : And then some .
Kelly : You know something , Rex ? You are a pretty terrific guy . It s too bad you re taken . You re smart . You re funny . You look good in or out of a towel , but you are Gigi s .
Rex : If she ever speaks to me again .
Gigi : Much as I d love to test - drive that hot tub with you in it--
Cristian : You re in love with Rex .
Gigi : And you re in love with Layla , who , I must say , is crazy because you re , like , 10 times handsomer than any Milanese male model , and they re probably too into themselves to even notice her , so no worries , okay ?
Cristian : I just miss her .
Gigi : I know . That s why I have to say no .
Cristian : You know , Rex is a lucky guy .
Gigi : I will remind him of that when I see him , right after I kill him .
Kelly : Gigi is crazy about you .
Rex : So why does nt she call me back ?
Kelly : Well , I do nt know . Is nt she working ?
Rex : She s in Paris . It s the middle of the night with the time change .
Kelly : So she s asleep .
Cristian : Thank you .
Gigi : What ?
Cristian : For keeping me from doing something stupid . Yeah . I m mad at Layla-- this trip meant a lot to me -- but that s no reason to cheat on her . We re engaged . That s serious .
Gigi : I would nt know .
Cristian : You and Rex will get there . Besides , it would nt be fair to you . I m your boss . That s a no - no .
Gigi : Guess we dodged a bullet .
Cristian : Yeah . We did .
Kelly : So should we call it a night ?
Rex : If you want to .
Kelly : You could nt have had that much fun . Echo bailed on you . Gigi is ticked at you . Do nt you want to go home and channel - surf ?
Rex : Come on . We re on a date .
Kelly : Forget it . You have already found your perfect woman .
Rex : And I m gon na help you find yours ... man , that is , unless there s something I do nt know .
Kelly : Tsk . He s a man , and you know what ? I ve already found him .
Rex : Yeah ?
Kelly : Yeah . Joey Buchanan . He was my first love .
Viki : Echo , look . We know for a fact that you and Charlie slept together 9 months before Rex was born , okay ? We know for a fact that you were in Llanview the day Rex was abandoned at the hospital . You got a speeding ticket leaving town ...
Echo : You do nt know where I was headed .
Viki : And we know for a fact that you have the other half of the necklace that someone tucked into Rex s blanket when she left him at the hospital .
Charlie : You ve got to admit , it does look like Rex Balsom is our son .
John : Natalie did nt tell me about the test because she knew that I d worry , given that I d already had a loss , our loss .
Marty : Oh . Oh , nice . I see how she was trying to spare your feelings . John , I really need you to take a closer look at this .
John : I know you ve had a rough day . I know you re worried about Cole , and you re angry with Natalie because she did nt allow you to take the blame , but this is not the way to go about it . It s not her fault . You re gon na have to let this go , Marty .
James : Starr--
Starr : Just leave , okay ?
James : No . No way .
Starr : Because you re right . I do nt want this . Just do us both a favor and get lost because now I m just gon na have to go back to Cole , and I m going out to tell him that , I m sorry it did nt work out . You re gon na have to find me a new boyfriend and a new guy to be hope s father . Go . Just leave me alone , you re not helping me . I do nt want you here . I do nt want you here .
Starr : I m sorry . I m sorry . You have been nothing but good to me and Hope . I m just so-- it s so sad .
James : You have a very good reason to be .
Starr : He s Hope s father . She s barely going to see him for the next 10 years . How am I supposed to explain that to her ?
James : You re angry . I get it .
Starr : No , I m not . I m not angry . It s just not the way it s supposed to be . We were so close . I got into L.U. We had family to watch Hope . Everything was perfect , and then he had to--
James : What ? He had to what ?
Starr : Does nt matter . It s over .
James : Is it ?
Starr : He thought that we were dead , so he lost it , and I do nt blame him , but I would never-- Eli was handcuffed . The police had him in custody . There was absolutely no way of him getting off , and he steals a gun , and he shoots Eli . Why ? Why would he do that ? He ruined his life , and now I have to raise Hope on my own without him for what ? Do you have any idea how-- I m so angry ! Uh !
Marty : No , John . You do nt understand .
John : You do nt understand . Cole s prints are in the system . The lab would ve made a match with the prints on the gun . I know this is hard to hear . Cole made a bad mistake , and he knows it . It s why he pled guilty , and you re gon na have to accept that . You re just making it worse for him by letting this torture you like this .
Marty : This is not his fault . I m the one who spoke for Hannah .
John : I know . You re not perfect . You re not perfect . Nobody is .
Marty : No . Maybe not , but you do nt deserve this , John , and I care about you .
John : I care about you . I do , okay , but this is nt you . You re a good person , Marty . You got a good heart . You ve just been pushed to your limit . You ve lost too much . This is nt gon na get it back , and when you ve had a chance to deal with all this , you ll see that .
John : Are you okay to get home on your own ?
Marty : I m always okay .
Natalie : Stay out of my personal records .
Marty : Ha ha ! Okay , and you have a good night .
Natalie : She s never gon na let this go .
John : Give her time .
Natalie : I m exhausted . Can we just go home ?
John : You bet . Let s go .
Gigi : I m almost sober . Must be because we decided to behave ourselves . Can you picture it -- you and me having wild , crazy sex in a Parisian penthouse , but when we got home , then--
Cristian : You re right . You re right . You re right . It s almost dawn . Time for bed .
Gigi : Do you really think I m sexy ?
Cristian : Very sexy . Do you think I m handsomer than a Milanese model ?
Gigi : A million times handsomer .
Cristian : You see ? That s sexy , and Rex knows it .
Gigi : He better .
Rex : Joey Buchanan ?
Kelly : I know that you are not a big fan of his because of everything that happened with Jen Rappaport , but we had a good thing way back when .
Rex : When you first came to Llanview .
Kelly : Oh , poor Joey . I had just gotten kicked out of boarding school , and he was my tutor , and he had a kind of crush on me , only I was crushing hard on David Vickers , if you can believe it . He was kind of cute back then , not that he had much use for me . So I decided to throw myself at Joey , and I had this idea that he could help me get rid of my virginity . Anyway , I was a complete mess , and Joey had the good sense to say no , which probably had more to do with the fact that he was coming off an affair with Dorian than anything else .
Rex : Dorian .
Kelly : Yeah . Dorian .
Dorian : I most certainly did not have Ford beaten up . How could you think such a thing ?
Langston : You just said that you would have your bodyguard break his jaw .
Dorian : Hmm .
Ford : No . Dorian had nothing to do with it . Somebody else , somebody you do nt know .
Dorian : Well , thank you . I do nt suppose you d like to tell us who it was . I d love to give them a medal . They did the town a great public service .
Langston : Whoa , will you please just give it a rest ?
Man : Excuse me , Mayor Lord .
Dorian : Oh , thank you . This is not over .
Langston : Sorry about that .
Ford : You just told Dorian you were nt through with me . Did you mean it , or were you just saying that to irritate her ?
Langston : Truth is , I still have feelings for you .
Ford : I still have feelings for you , too . So can we start over ?
Langston : I do nt know , Ford .
Kelly : Yeah . The Dorian - Joey thing was kind of weird . Once Joey got past it , we were pretty happy . It was good . That s when I had the spark , when I felt like anything was possible , but then once Joey left town , it kind of all went south for me .
Rex : So get him back .
Kelly : Joey ? No . No , no , no , no , no , no , no . Too much has happened . I was with his brother and his nephew .
Rex : Well , that s all in the past , though , right ?
Kelly : No . No . It s too late .
Rex : Listen , listen . I do nt know anything about you and Joey , but I do know that I thought that I d lost Gigi for good , and look at us now .
Kelly : Ha ha ha !
Rex : Or next week when I ve talked her into forgiving me and she s back . The point is--
Kelly : No . I will think about it .
Rex : All right . Well , I should go track down Echo , see what I can pry out of her .
Kelly : Yeah . I m gon na stay up here and clear my head .
Rex : So we okay , huh ? That kiss ...
Kelly : Was my fault . Rex , you and I are friends , okay ? We re gon na hang on to our towels from now on . Good luck with Echo .
Echo : Look . It s been fun , but I m a working girl , and I have pictures to take , so if you ll excuse me--
Viki : No . No . You re not going anywhere .
Langston : Dorian is right . You hurt me , and I hurt you . I got you fired .
Ford : Yeah , but now I m back at the university .
Langston : Yeah , but what we had , it was nt a relationship . It was just sex .
Ford : You just said that you had feelings for me , and I have feelings for you , too , so--
Langston : I know , but it takes more than just feelings to have a relationship , and that s what I want .
Ford : I ve never been in a real relationship before .
Langston : Is that supposed to be an excuse ?
Ford : No . I m not trying to make excuses . I m just saying this is what I did to survive , okay , and -- you re right -- a lot of time , I get in my own way , but I am willing to rethink this for you . I got to go home .. I do nt want James to be alone with Dad for--
Langston : Yeah . I should go check on Starr .
Ford : Hey ... see you soon .
Langston : Great .
Natalie : How did my records get from obstetrics to Marty s desk in the psych ward ?
John : I do nt think it s the psych ward .
Natalie : Okay . Whatever , a whole other department .
John : Do you really want to keep talking about this ?
Natalie : She s harassing me , John .
John : Listen . I m gon na tell you what I told her . Let it go , all right ? You had a test . We re waiting for the results , and let s just let it go from there .
Natalie : She ruined our night .
John : Who says it s ruined , hmm ?
Natalie : Ha ha ha !
John : Nobody is spoiling what we got , okay ?
Natalie : Okay .
Cristian : Hey , it s me . I wish you were here . I wish you had picked up . I wanted to say this to you and not your voice mail . I love you , Layla , and I m really sorry about the fight . I really am .
Marty : Oh , Natalie obviously does nt know who the father of her baby is . How could she cheat on John ? Well , he ll know the truth soon enough . She took you away from me ... so it s only fair that she loses John .
Starr : I ca nt even hate him because I love him , but he s right . It s over , and it has to be . I ca nt keep pretending that he s around when he is nt , and I do nt know what he ll be like when he gets out of prison . He could be a completely different person .
James : Listen . You have to just take it one day at a time , okay ? Look . Think about you and Hope . That s what he wants .
Starr : Well , he should ve thought of that before he shot Eli Clarke , but no . He had to assume the worst , just like he always does , and now I m alone .
James : Hey , you are not alone .
Inez : Clint , you ve already done a lot for me , and Eddie is a criminal , so I d feel much better if the police handled him ...
Clint : All right . You know best .
Inez : Which is why I think I should call it a night .
Clint : No , no , no . The party is just getting interesting .
Inez : Oh , no , no , no . I have to get up very early for work tomorrow . Thank you again .
Bo : Do nt mention it .
Clint : Well , at least let me drive you home .
Inez : No . Do nt be silly . You stay and enjoy the party . Good night .
Clint : Good night .
Bo : Good night .
Nora : Oh , now , now , boys . Play nice . There s plenty of Inez to go around .
Echo : Let go of my arm .
Viki : You owe us an answer .
Echo : I do nt owe you anything .
Bo : What s going on ?
Echo : This woman is harassing me .
Viki : Bo , she knows who Rex s parents are , and she s refusing to tell .
Bo : Is that true , Echo ? You have information about Balsom s parents ?
Clint : Now you re harassing her , too ? Would you leave the poor woman alone ?
Viki : We have the right to know .
Clint : Says who , Viki ? What s this to you ?
Viki : Charlie is my husband .
Clint : And what s Charlie got to do with Rex Balsom ?
Bo : That s what I d like to know right now .
Echo : All right . You re right , Viki . I am Rex Balsom s mother .

### Dialogue:
Kyle : Hey , can you hear me ? Baby !
Mia : I was at a valentine s event earlier this evening , and I think I might have lost an earring there .
Rey : Just give me a glimpse , eddie . Two minutes with her file . I got to know who attacked her , man .
Arturo : All I know is that you broke her heart , and I want what s best for her , and that s you not hovering over here .
Rey : Hey , hey , hey , hey ! Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! Stop !
Christine : I have physical evidence , which I have detailed in the charging briefs , as well as information from a witness who is willing to testify that nikki newman did kill J.T. Hellstrom .
Nick : You are a witness for the prosecution ? That s why you were released ?
Phyllis : I appreciate you all being here . I wanted to dispel any rumors you might have heard about my involvement in J.T. S death . Yes , I was arrested , and I was released .
Kyle : Uh , according to the news , you re the da s star witness .
Phyllis : Unfortunately , I was there for some activity , so i have to appear in court . That being said , I am not in any personal legal jeopardy . This will not affect jabot . It will be business as usual .
Lauren : But your testimony is in the news . And every time they say your name , jabot ceo is gon na be said after that .
Phyllis : Yes , that is true . I will handle it , jabot will handle it . I am asking you all to trust me .
Billy : Ladies and gentlemen , our ceo and resident liar .
Phyllis : Billy --
Billy : No , you were up to your eyeballs in this case , and no matter what you say or do , your garbage is going to bury this company .
Abby : I ca nt tell you for how long , just -- the restaurant needs to remain on pause . Um , yeah . Okay , I ll keep you posted . Thanks . Hey , um , do you have time to go over that castalon deal ?
Jack : Well , since multi - tasking is the word of the day , why do nt we do it over coffee ?
Abby : Ooh , I wish I could , but arturo has nt left lola s side , so I want to bring him a change of clothes and make sure he gets something to eat .
Jack : Hey , look , I understand the restaurant has to be put on hold . That does nt mean everything does .
Abby : Is there a deal I do nt know about ?
Jack : Well , there s a wedding .
Abby : Right , uh ... right , yeah , um ... it s fine . It will be fine .
Jack : I agree with that . But whatever you want , we can make it happen when you re ready .
Abby : We can , huh ?
Jack : Well , I do nt see your mother coming home anytime soon , and I m to blame for that , so if you need anything at all ...
Abby : You ll help me .
Jack : Yeah . Bridesmaids outfits , color charts , hemlines -- it s what i do .
Abby : No , it s not .
Jack : Okay , no , it s not . But I want to help in any way that I can .
Mia : Go to bed , arturo . Go home .
Arturo : What ? No . No , I m fine .
Mia : I ll be right here , okay ? I ll make sure lola is never alone . I mean it .
Arturo : Okay , um , maybe just a coffee .
Mia : At least take your time .
Arturo : [ Sighs ] Okay .
Mia : This is all my fault . Additional sponsorship
Mia : I m so sorry , lola . I did nt know it was you . I was nt trying to hurt you . It was abby , okay ? She just -- I was angry and embarrassed . What she did ... everything that she has , I mean , her whole life , everything about her -- I mean ... I went to the abbotts to ... I do nt know . Not this . Never this . And for that second , why were you wearing that coat ? Lola , why ? I love you , lola . I know you do nt see me as a sister , but I would never hurt you . I know I hurt the family , I know I hurt your brothers , but that s all gon na change . I will change . I promise . Okay ? Please , lola , wake up . Please , I ll never forgive myself otherwise .
Phyllis : I can understand that you are upset about the situation with victoria .
Billy : The situation , phyllis ?
Phyllis : But this discussion is about jabot business .
Billy : That s exactly what i am discussing . See , you re asking us to trust you , except , you re forgetting , I was at the arraignment . I know exactly what you did . And it was a nice glimpse into the dark pit of your soul .
Phyllis : Okay , this meeting is over . Clearly , we are not going to discuss anything further .
Kyle : Mm , what happened in court , lauren just said it . If it s in the press , it ll blow back on jabot .
Billy : She cut a deal . She was 100 % involved in what allegedly went down with J.T. , And she cut a deal with christine to save herself , while the other women , they re locked in prison , waiting for trial . Where they will get to sit there and watch this one throw them under the bus . So do nt talk to us about loyalty and unity . It s a bunch of garbage from a garbage person .
Kerry : Okay , hey !
Phyllis : No , he s upset .
Billy : No , I am disgusted .
Phyllis : Yeah , you ve made that clear , but you do nt have all the facts , and I am happy to explain them all to you .
Billy : No , you are happy to lie , spin , and cover .
Phyllis : Okay , let s let the other focus on business , shall we ?
Kerry : I moved to this town and to this company to help rebuild jabot . So if you ll excuse me , I ll get back to it .
Phyllis : Of course , and thank you .
Kyle : Whatever s best for the company .
Lauren : At least we agree on that . Let s adjourn .
Kyle : Uh , before we get another chair through the window .
Phyllis : If you have time to talk now , billy ...
Billy : Do it . I dare you . Talk your way out of this one . Reese s eggs are back and we hid them
Arturo : What happened , mia ? You made it sound like something changed , like she s not okay .
Mia : No , she is . She will be . She has to be . Nothing happened .
Arturo : I just heard your voice , and it sounded like you know something the rest of us donT.
Abby : Is everything okay ?
Arturo : Uh , I went to go grab some coffee , and mia said she d stay with lola , but when I came back , she --
Mia : I just wanted to have lola s forgiveness for all the wounds I caused the family . I do nt want to be that way anymore . I do nt want to be the way i act , the way I am . Things will be better between us . You were so sweet yesterday , reaching out after how awful I ve been . And , arturo , I m so sorry about you and rey . I ve come between you two too many times . And he loves you . So much and you two need each other . The whole family needs each other . I do nt know why I am the way i am . I should have been happy you two were getting married . I mean , that s how families should be . And you two are gon na be good together , okay ? You two are gon na have a wonderful life , I know it . Everyone will be happy . Everyone will be healthy , safe , and happy .
Arturo : We will be . Everyone will be okay .
Abby : Lola knows that you love her .
Mia : I -- excuse me .
Phyllis : You have issues with me , we deal with it . But not in front of anyone else , not in the office .
Billy : [ Sighs ] You are a shrewd piece of work .
Phyllis : Personal attacks are not going to serve a purpose here .
Billy : No , see , we are alone . This is actually the exact moment that I have permission from the boss to speak my mind . So let me be clear -- the mother of my kids is locked away in prison because of you . You ratted out everybody else to save yourself , phyllis .
Phyllis : Okay , hang on . We were all arrested . I did nt just waltz in the pd and say , hey , here I am . Cuff me and those three over there . It did nt happen that way . The truth is , I told it . And what I was trying to do was save victoria , sharon , nikki from themselves . I made it very clear that J.T. Was the aggressor .
Billy : Right . And right now , nikki is being charged with second - degree intentional murder , and the rest are accomplices . Yeah , you are a walking hero , are nt you ? My god , I am so done .
Phyllis : What are you doing , quitting ?
Billy : Quit ? And leave you here alone to ruin my family s company ? Not a chance . I m gon na work from home , victoria s home , because my kids need me right now , because , as far as they know , their mother is on a work trip , thanks to you .
Phyllis : I m not the one who got her arrested !
Kerry : Hey . We just wanted to check on you . Alone .
Lauren : Billy s face just now ...
Phyllis : Yeah , well , he is single parenting . That s very stressful . So if he needs to vent , I can handle it .
Kerry : Yeah , but you should nt have to . You re dealing with enough on your own right now .
Phyllis : Thank you . I appreciate that . But , really , once the trial takes place , things will be clear and this will all be resolved .
Kerry : Of course . Okay , well , do let me know if you need anything .
Phyllis : Thank you .
Lauren : It could go that way . Or the trail could make things bumpier .
Phyllis : I do nt need your judgment right now .
Lauren : Oh , this is nt judgment at all . I know you . You know me . We are friends who ve been through the war together . But witness for the prosecution ... [ Scoffs ] I m not so sure I can sell that to the staff or the public .
Phyllis : I was helping them . The real story of what happened that night is the life raft . We were all terrified . And , in the end , I decided it was time to use it . So , no , I did not give them a choice , for their own good . And , for some reason , nobody is believing me . I need to know -- I need to know if you support me . I need to know that right now .
Lauren : In the office or out in the world ?
Phyllis : Both , please .
Lauren : I just really hope this works out for everyone involved .
Abby : Hi .
Kyle : Oh , thank god . How s lola ? The hospital wo nt tell me anything , and I m going nuts .
Abby : There s been no change .
Kyle : They could have just told me that .
Abby : No , they could nt , kyle . The staff at memorial is nt just shutting you out on purpose .
Kyle : No , that would just be the entire rosales family .
Abby : Arturo s with her now , and I m bringing him something to eat .
Kyle : Let me go with you .
Abby : Kyle , no . Arturo is wound up and exhausted , and you barging in there right now , it would not go over well .
Kyle : So I just sit here and slowly lose my mind ?
Abby : I ll talk to arturo , see what I can do , and I m gon na keep praying that lola wakes up and she can decide on her own visitors .
Kyle : That s what you can do . What about me ?
Abby : What you ca nt do is go in there and start some confrontation . What lola does nt need right now is all of that angry energy .
Kyle : Okay . That s the last thing I want .
Abby : Just be patient , and I will see what I can do , okay ? Seresto , seresto , seresto .
Kerry : Hi . Mwah !
Jack : Hey ! What a nice surprise . Come on in .
Kerry : It is ?
Jack : What , the nice part of the --
Jack : Wait , we had a date on the books .
Kerry : I m early , but yes .
Jack : Oh , kerry , I am -- I am so sorry . I have been up to my ears in dark horse stuff ...
Kerry : I know , I know , you re covering for nick .
Jack : I do nt have anything planned . And this , after I told you work hard but play hard , you must be very annoyed with me .
Kerry : Yeah , I am . Very annoyed .
Jack : Suddenly , I really like annoying you , but this may not be the message you want to send .
Kerry : Uh - huh . Okay , now I really , really want to annoy you . Let me think , um ... I forgot about our date . I could forget about my own name .
Kerry : Well , that is the plan because I am taking care of everything .
Arturo : Thanks . You did nt have to do this .
Abby : I can bring you a bagel and a change of clothes . Whatever you need for as long as it takes .
Arturo : I just feel like i need to be here . You know , like , anything could happen to her if one of us is nt right beside her .
Abby : Yeah , and ... well , I mean , I think that s how kyle feels . He just wants to be here for lola .
Arturo : No .
Abby : Please ? Just think about it .
Arturo : I ca nt , okay ? And do nt ask me to . Kyle hurt my sister , and I do nt know why she was going back to see him , but all of this -- this -- this all happened because of how kyle made lola feel . If she can hear us , and I pray to god she can , I do nt want her hearing him and getting upset . I get that he s your family , but I need to protect my sister .
Abby : Of course . I wo nt bring it up again .
Arturo : [ Sighs ] I m gon na go freshen up .
Abby : I hope your brother s right , that you can hear us . I know that arturo sounds scared , but he s strong , and i promise I will keep looking out for him . And the restaurant -- it will be waiting for you . The ventilation is finally working . And we -- we restructured the walk - in so you have more storage . This is your baby , all the way . Your dream . I am just a fairy godmother , or sister- in - law , trying to make it happen . Lola , you are a genius , an inspiration . You do need to work on your social media , but ... hey , do nt worry about that . I ll take care of everything . Once the world knows about you , think of all of the little girls who want to be chefs , all the girls that will want to follow in your footsteps .
Arturo : I like that . Sister - in - law .
Abby : [ Sighs ] Hey , um ... why do nt we get some air , step out for a bit ? Maybe get a real bite to eat in the cafeteria .
Arturo : Yeah , but then lola will be alone , so ...
Abby : We can tell the nurses that we re stepping out , and they can text us if , um ... you need to be strong . You re looking out for her , and I promised her that I would look out for you . Do nt make me break my word .
Arturo : Let s go .
Mia : [ Sighs ] Rey , thank god you re home . I visited lola . It s just not right that she s in that bed . It s not . I tried to be strong for her , you know , hold her hand , because that s how she is . Strong and tough and brave . And always good .
Rey : It should nt be like this .
Mia : Then I tried talking to her , but I do nt know if she could hear me . In my head , it was just this one long prayer . Let her heal . Let her wake up . Let her get stronger . Please , god , bring her back to us . I do nt know , I was ... thinking I d find a sign , but ... nothing came .
Rey : There is news , though . About lola s case .
Phyllis : Seems like forever since I ve seen your face . I came home so late last night , I stayed in the guest bedroom , and then I just -- this morning ...
Nick : Yeah , I know .
Phyllis : Yeah . I missed you .
Nick : What do you expect from me right now ? Today is the day and it s gon na be great . The young and the restless will continue .
Phyllis : Wow . Ca nt even manage some comfort or understanding , you know , from the man I love . I mean , I expect it from billy , you know ? The way he went off on me in front of my execs ...
Nick : Yeah , because the mother of his children is awaiting trial . It s bad enough that vick had to be terrorized J.T. Once , but now she gets to suffer through it again by being an accessory to murder .
Phyllis : Okay , christine was out of her mind with those charges . She is way off base . I was just as shocked as you were .
Nick : But you just handed them over to the da and the cops -- my mother , my sister , my kids mom .
Phyllis : The whole reason that I spoke to christine was so that she could actually get some accurate information . J.T. Instigated this whole thing . Victoria , she was in immediate danger . Nikki had no choice but to act . There was no murder so there were no accessories . If the da went by nikki s story , I mean , heck , she copped to first - degree murder . You think I was gon na let her go down for that , knowing that s not what happened at all ? I was nt trying to hurt her or the others ! I told the truth , that s it !
Nick : Oh , yeah , you re big on honesty . But you do it on the sly . There s no warning , there s no time for anyone to prepare .
Phyllis : Okay , see , how could I have connected with anyone ? I was nt allowed to see them . I could nt warn them !
Nick : Why did nt you just sit tight then until you learned more ?
Phyllis : Nick , we ve been waiting for months . We were arrested . Nikki confessed . The cops , I do nt know , somehow got enough information that they arrested all of us . How long were we gon na hang onto that lie ? I did nt know that they were gon na be held without bail ! That was not part of the plan !
Nick : See , that s it right there . Your plan . It was yours . There was no consideration to anyone else , not anyone s lives , or their children or their freedom . You thought this was your call to make and you made it .
Phyllis : You know something , when I spoke to christine , it was for the sake of all four of us .
Nick : The only person you were thinking about was yourself .
Rey : They analyzed the footprints from lola s crime scene . A woman s shoe . Size 7 .
Mia : But so many women come through that house , you know , with staff and abby ... that grandmother . She s got all these nurses and caregivers .
Rey : They knew it was the perp from the position of the prints . Still , it s not a lot to go on , but ... there was something else . A diamond and opal earring .
Mia : Well , how can they know it was from that night ? How could they know it fell right then ?
Rey : Jones and sons . That s what it says on the back of it . Little tiny letters . The place with the turquoise awning and the art deco windows . I spent so much time in that place . Because I wanted to get you the right thing to show you how much I loved you . It was more than I could afford , but ... still , diamond and opal . The real thing . And the look in your eyes when you opened the box , it was -- it was worth it . You squealed . You said you felt like a diva , wearing real jewels for once . You promised you d cherish them forever . You broke that promise , mia .
Mia : I m so sorry .
Mia : It was the fight with abby . It was like my blood was burning , you know , with the words that she said to me . No one talks to me like that . No one . So I went to the abbott house to make her understand that I wo nt be treated that way , not by her , not by anyone . I just wanted abby to know what it s like to be humiliated . Like dirt . So I pushed and ran , and that s it . That s all . I did nt know ! I did nt realize --
Rey : That s why my sister -- my sister -- is in the icu .
Abby : I did nt know it was lola , okay ? She must have tripped ! I did nt know . I ran . I did nt hear or see anything .
Rey : This is what s inside of you . It s just spite and jealousy .
Mia : No . No . I did nt want anything bad to happen . I just wanted her to understand . Please , rey , you have to help me .
Kyle : I hope you can hear me , even though I do nt know what to say . It s just the same words over and over in my head . I love you more than I ve told you . More than you ll ever know . I should have never let you walk away . That s a mistake I ll never make again . And I know you love me . Because you came to find me , and that means you did nt give up on us . So do nt now . There s still so much we have to do . Wake up now . I need you . I need you more than you know .
Jack : [ Groaning ]
Kerry : [ Laughs ]
Jack : [ Sighs ] Where did you learn that , and why did you stop ?
Kerry : Health and beauty conference in osaka .
Jack : And the stopping part ?
Kerry : I wanted to be able to see your face . Plus , based on that sound you were making , I feel like my job is ... done .
Jack : [ Groans ] You healed my broken self .
Kerry : Mm - hmm .
Jack : [ Sighs ] Oh ! And after I bailed on you tonight . Oh !
Kerry : Well , I suppose you re allowed to have one night off from being the perfect gentleman .
Jack : Oh , if the old me could just hear you say that ... a gentleman , I wasnT. Nor was I a gentleman tonight .
Kerry : You have a lot on your plate , jack .
Jack : Yeah , no more than you do .
Jack : No , I m not talking about dark horse . Nikki . She s your dear friend , perhaps even your favorite ex - wife . And she s in trouble . I know that ca nt be easy for you
Jack : Second degree . Intentional homicide . I know nikki . You ca nt convince me she had intent to kill .
Kerry : People were saying that she confessed just to protect her husband .
Jack : That s the other thing . Victor . He s a son of a bitch , but he adores her . Like a prized possession , but he adores her . He has power , he has influence . The fact that he has nt been able to get her out by now , by pulling strings or whatever the hell he does ... this is bad for nikki , for victoria , for sharon .
Kerry : I felt those knots in your back . One for each of the women , hmm ? Maybe one or two more for kyle ?
Jack : Oh , and that poor kid . I know he s not a kid , he s a grown man . He lost his mother very young . The look on his face back then was one of terror and panic , and I never wanted to see that look again . Now this whole lola thing ... it s there . The panic , the hurt ... if I could take it away , I ...
Kerry : I know , you would . You would do anything to make him let go of that pain , even for a second . Okay .
Phyllis : You know , the four of us made an agreement , but nikki broke it . She risked everything when she confessed to the cops . I mean , it was bad enough that she was protecting victor when he could protect himself , but ... she did nt warn anyone , if you remember .
Nick : She solely took on all of the blame .
Phyllis : And we would have known that how ? With rey pulling sharon and victoria back into questioning . Oh , yeah , and arresting all three of us ? I mean , rey just pulled this out of thin air ? He magically knew that we were involved in this ? Nikki s story had already tanked , so what I did is I took control and I spoke the truth .
Nick : They say you have the right to remain silent for a reason .
Phyllis : You know , this is -- this is what gets me . You were furious at me because i lied . Now you re furious with me because I told the truth .
Nick : Because you did it to save your own skin !
Phyllis : Who was gon na do it if I did nt ? Who ? I mean , you ve made it very clear that I m the one person in your life that you re not worried about protecting .
Nick : Since when do you need rescuing ?
Phyllis : Sometimes I do , which means I have to rescue myself . But , somehow , that s wrong because you would prefer I m behind bars .
Nick : You know , if you so convinced that you were doing the right thing , why did nt you let me know when you first cut this deal ? Instead , you came home and you acted like , yeah , I have no idea why I was released and they werenT. You let me find out about this in court along with everyone else . You betrayed them , and you knew it .
Phyllis : That s not what i was doing .
Nick : You know , what I really want to know is -- did you not want to go to the arraignment because you wanted to avoid the hassle of being exposed in public , or did you actually have the decency of being ashamed of yourself ? See , today , you got to wake up , throw on the power suit , do up your hair , go into work -- business as usual . While my mother and sister and sharon are sitting in a jail cell because they got denied bail . Did you honestly think that I was gon na be okay with this ?
Phyllis : Since that night at your sisters , I have been protecting your mother . I have been protecting all of us , and I m doing that right now , but you refuse to see it . The truth was gon na come out . It was only a matter of time . I mean , how much damage was gon na be done in the process . Look at your father . He was framed for murder .
Nick : Yeah . Look at that . You held onto that fire poker , and it just happened to show up .
Phyllis : It was stolen from my locker . There is someone out there who knows where it was and what it was used for . And that same someone s broken into your parents house more than once . Instead , though , you are fixated on me instead of that person , and I do nt understand why because it was nt me !
Nick : Okay . Maybe you did nt frame him personally , but you were more than willing to let him go down for murder .
Phyllis : Nick , you know why . You know what he -- what he did to me . If you expect me to let that go , that s an insult to me !
Nick : Okay . You hate him all you want , and nobody s gon na tell you not to , but that is not permission to let him hang for murder .
Phyllis : Oh , no , why are you doing this ? Why do you want to blame me for everything here ?
Nick : Because , this time , it was supposed to be different . We swore to each other that we were gon na be honest . I let you back in , I trusted you .
Phyllis : Yes , and I trusted that you would understand why i do the things I do . I asked you to have some faith in me !
Nick : You got to go .
Phyllis : [ Sighs ] Okay . Okay , we both need to calm down , all right ? This is not getting us anywhere .
Nick : No . No , you got to go . Out of this house . And out of my life . We re done .
Kyle : You are so beautiful . I never get to see you like this . You re always moving . Always so much going on with you . You ... asked me ... if I thought i was missing out on , uh , you know . [ Sighs ] It was never about what you thought . I just wanted to fall asleep beside you . Wake up and ... watch you sleep . Then wake you up with kisses . Would you wake up for me ? Like some kind of fairy tale ?
Arturo : What did you do to her , man ?
Kyle : Nothing ! I was just -- I was nt -- look , what if was abby that was unconscious ?
Arturo : I would never do to abby what you did to lola . Ever !
Kyle : [ Stammering ] I m not gon na fight you , man .
Arturo : I wish to god you would . Stay away from her , kyle , or I will finish you .
Mia : You know I would never hurt lola . I would never hurt anyone . You have always protected this family , okay ? That s who you are . And if they found out about this , it would fall apart . All of it . I love you , rey . And you promised you would always love me .
Rey : Yeah . What you did to lola , I canT. I ca nt turn the other way . You have the right to remain silent . Anything you say --
Mia : You ca nt do this , rey . I m pregnant .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Téa : You rang ?
John : I want to talk to you about Todd .
Téa : I do nt work for Todd anymore .
John : Good , then maybe I ll get an honest answer out of you .
Téa : Oh , ever the charmer .
John : You noticed . So when you said you killed Lee Halpern , you were obviously covering for Manning .
Téa : The cops did nt seem to think so .
John : You want to lie to the cops , that s your business . I just want to know if he did it .
Todd : So you re back from Cassie s , huh ? How are you ?
Jack : How do you think I am ? My mom s in the hospital and she may die , and you re in jail .
Todd : You re mom s not going to die .
Jack : How do you know that ? You do nt know anything . You ca nt even tell me when you re going to get out of jail . Is this ever going to stop ?
Brody : Is this a bad time ? I wanted to drop by and let you know that they discharged me from St. Ann s .
Gigi : I knew about that . The D.A. s office called Rex .
Brody : Oh , I should have called first . I was just so relieved after I spoke to Shane , you know , after -- after that accident . You ca nt imagine what was going through my mind . Maybe you can , actually . Anyway , when I talked to him and he was okay , it just -- I wanted to --
Brody : Geege , what is it ?
Gigi : Brody , he has leukemia .
Bo : Balsom , thanks for coming . Did Nora call you ?
Rex : Nora ?
Bo : Yeah . How did you find out ?
Rex : Oh , my God , Matt s not doing any better ? I thought he was fine . What happened ? How is he ?
Bo : Well , he s amazing , considering the fact that he may never walk again .
Nora : Where the hell is Cole ?
Marty : He s gone .
Nora : Gone ? I was taking him in .
Marty : I know . That s why I told him to go .
Nora : You told him to escape ? Are you out of your mind ?
Marty : He did nt escape . He s still here in the hospital . He went to see Matthew .
Matthew : You okay ? You going home ?
Cole : They re discharging me in a little while .
Matthew : You re lucky .
Cole : Lucky ? You re like my brother and I did this to you . How am I supposed to live the rest of my life like that ?
Nora : You told Cole to go talk to Matthew ?
Marty : It was his idea .
Nora : Oh , for --
Marty : Nora , please , he needs to do this .
Nora : I do nt give a damn what Cole needs . My son may be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life because of that little son of a bitch .
Téa : I ve told anyone who will listen that Todd did nt stab Lee Halpern .
John : Hey , I m not a cop and you re not working for Manning , so we re just a couple of people talking off the record .
Téa : You re just -- you re just curious , John ?
John : Someone got into Dorian s house and they stabbed Blair . That same person killed Lee Halpern and they killed Wes Granger .
Téa : Hmm , so you re just connecting the dots .
John : Mm .
Téa : Uh - huh .
John : The thing is , they may not be done . Someone s going to be next . Maybe you re going to be next . So I got to ask , is it worth it ?
Téa : Is it worth what ?
John : Risking your life to protect Todd .
Viki : Addie brought Jack and Sam to the hospital to see Blair .
Jack : She s still unconscious .
Todd : Yeah , I know . I talked to the doctor myself . And I know , honey , that it just must be so scary to see her like that in the ICU .
Jack : It s not as scary as jail .
Todd : Yeah , well , I just want you to make sure you do nt worry about your mother because as bad as it looks , you know , with all the stuff she s hooked up to , it s going to be okay because all those machines , they re there to help her . And , you know , they re keeping her in that deep sleep on purpose so she can heal .
Jack : I asked Aunt Dorian if she s going to make it . She said she does nt know .
Todd : Yeah , well , you re Aunt Dorian s a drama queen .
Jack : Dad , cut it out ! Mom could die and you know it .
Bo : Matthew was looking at Nora and she was all over him about why he did nt wear a seat belt . I was watching Michael , and he was running this implement up and down the sole of Matthew s foot . Matthew did nt move . He did nt react . Then I looked at Michael and I just knew . So we ve -- we ve done all the tests , everything we could do , and Clint s calling specialists , but everybody says the same thing . Unless there s a miracle , this is as good as it gets . Now my beautiful boy will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair . He just went to his first dance . Now he ca nt even walk across the room . And I know I should be grateful . I have to be grateful , and I am grateful . So I just thought I d come in here and ask God a few questions . Then I thought of Drew . Just what I d give to have him back , just in any shape . And Duke , same thing . You know , Balsom , there are kids in this hospital right now that are never going to walk out alive . I am thankful . I m sorry , I do nt mean to lay all this on you , Balsom .
Rex : Shane , he s one of those kids .
Bo : The lucky ones ?
Rex : The doctors ran some test , some routine tests . And when they came back -- he has cancer . Bo , he could die . And I know it s a lot with Matthew . I -- I m sorry .
Matthew : You did nt do this to me . It was an accident .
Cole : Only it was nt . Matt , I was already high . And before you got in the car , I took a whole handful of pills . They had to pump my stomach . I could nt even see straight . I had no business being behind the wheel of a car .
Matthew : I did nt get a teacher or stop you from driving . I did nt even wear my seatbelt .
Cole : That s not the point . If I had nt screwed up , none of this would have happened .
Cole : I mean , look at you , Matthew . I did this to you . You -- you ca nt move and that s because of me . I mean , I wish I could just wake up and have this all be over . I wish I could change -- I wish I could fix it .
Matthew : Well , you ca nt .
Cole : I know .
Marty : He s coming back and then you can arrest him , whatever makes you happy .
Nora : Happy ?
Marty : He just wanted to see Matthew before you took him . And , please , can we have a minute ?
Nora : Yes , it s fine .
Marty : I know this is --
Nora : This is what ? What is it ? What is it , Marty ? My son is paralyzed because your son got behind the wheel of a car so high he had to have his stomach pumped or else he would have overdosed .
Marty : I know . I m not saying that Cole is nt responsible --
Nora : Paralyzed . Paralyzed . He ca nt run . There s no soccer . There s no chasing girls . There s not even any walking , Marty . We do nt know if he s going to be able to control his bladder , and if he can , we do nt know how to get him to the bathroom .
Marty : I know , I know .
Nora : No , you do nt know . You know nothing because we do nt know anything . You see , we do nt know what this is . We do nt even know where it s going . Every minute I think of something else . Oh , look , there s the mail man . Oh , God , Matthew will never be able to run to the end of the driveway to get the mail . I m walking upstairs and I think , my God , this house has so many stairs . How am I going to get him up to his room ? And I know he ca nt drive yet but of course , you know , I m thinking , all right , well , we could trick out the car with those , like , hand pedal things , you know ? Gee , that s a really sexy look for a teenager . You know , here comes Matthew the cripple . Oh , and I know that s not politically correct . He is disabled . I know , I read all the pamphlets . Believe me when I tell you that those people are my heroes , they really are , but I never thought my son would be one of them .
Marty : I m so sorry .
Nora : Oh , please , save it . You could nt care about Matthew . You do nt even care about your own son . That s why this happened . That s why this happened ; because you re such a selfish , self - centered monster of a mother .
Rex : After the accident , because of the asthma attacks and probably all the meds they had to give him -- anyway , they ran some blood tests .
Bo : And that s how they found leukemia . Balsom , I ve heard that kids are pretty responsive to treatment .
Rex : That s what we re hoping . He starts the chemo right away . Michael s not even letting him leave the hospital .
Bo : He s on top of it .
Rex : You know , once -- once the blood clears , you know , they re going to go after the bone marrow .
Bo : A transplant ?
Rex : They re testing for donors .
Bo : All right , you sign me up .
Bo : Do you have insurance , Balsom ?
Rex : John made sure Shane was covered , you know , from Gigi s Rodi s insurance .
Bo : He s a good man . All right , you ve got a treatment plan and the odds are in your favor . Now , I have read about this , Balsom , and kids have a good shot .
Rex : I just -- I just do nt get it . Matthew , Shane -- they re like the best kids in the world .
Bo : I know .
Rex : I mean , how is this fair ? Does nt the world need kids like Matthew and Shane , kids who are smart and decent ? Shane is so much better than I ll ever be . You want a sacrifice ? Take me , huh ? Take me ! Right .
Bo : I ve learned sometimes -- well , you ca nt try to make it all add up .
Rex : How can you ? I end up with a woman like Gigi , a son like Shane , and Shane has to --
Bo : Shane has to fight and so does Matthew . And we ve got to back them up .
Cole : So what do we do ?
Matthew : I guess we could go back to the way we used to be , talk or whatever .
Cole : Why do nt you hate me ?
Matthew : Look , I pressured you into driving me . I wanted to get out of there so bad , even though I knew you were high . So actually , you should be mad at me .
Cole : For what ?
Matthew : For not getting you help , Cole . I stood by and let you become an addict .
Todd : Look , I know you re scared , but this is your mom we re talking about here . She s stronger than all of us . She s got the best doctors in the world taking care of her . She s going to be fine .
Jack : We re all alone . Mom s in the hospital and you re in jail .
Viki : Darling , you have your Aunt Dorian and you have your Grandma Addie and you ve got me .
Jack : I want my mom and dad , but my mom s in a coma and everybody thinks that my dad put her there .
Todd : I did nt .
Jack : Tell me the truth for once .
Todd : I ve always told you the truth , Jack .
Jack : Did you hurt Mom so you could be with Cole s mother ?
Nora : This is your fault , but Cole is the one that s going to have to take responsibility because he s a smart kid . And he s smart enough to know not to take drugs and certainly not to get behind the wheel of a car when you re high as a kite . And even more importantly , do nt put someone in the passenger seat without putting their seatbelt on them . But you re the reason he started using and you know it .
Marty : You re right . Even though I ca nt change what happened in Ireland and later with Todd , you re right . I did nt show up for him .
Nora : A stranger would have been kinder to him than you were . You pushed him away . My God , Marty , you told Cole , your own son , that he was your problem . And it did nt matter what we said to you . We tried , God knows we tried to get through to you how much he was hurting and how much he needed you , but you did nt care . All you cared about was Marty . Oh , poor me , poor Marty .
Marty : You re right , you re right . I was a lousy mother . I m a lousy person . Because even though I did nt remember him , I knew he needed me to make an effort and I did nt do it . I could nt do it . It was too much . All I could do was crawl away into that hotel , and now Wes is gone and -- oh , my God , Cole is addicted to -- and Matthew -- it s my fault . But you , I let you down . You re my best friend . You took in my son and you mothered him when I could nt , and this is how I repay you . This is what I ve done to your son . How am I going to be able to make it right ? I m never going to be able to make it right .
Nora : So what are you doing ? You re asking for my forgiveness ? You want me to forgive you ? I ca nt forgive you . I wo nt forgive you .
Gigi : It s all happening so fast . They re starting the chemo right away . They would nt even let him come home , which is why I ran back here to get some of his things . His books , some real pajamas , his computer -- anything to make him feel like he s not losing his life .
Brody : He s not going to lose his life .
Gigi : He s going to lose his hair and he s going to get so sick . They said that the chemo makes you vomit , and he s already so skinny .
Brody : Well , we re just going to have to feed him ice cream and cookies .
Gigi : What if they ca nt find a match for the bone marrow transplant ?
Brody : We ll find it . I ll get tested first thing tomorrow .
Gigi : That s if the chemo even works . What if it does nt ? I do nt know if I could take that , Brody . I can barely stand it when he has an asthma attack . To see him in all this pain , what if I ca nt handle it ? I m his mother .
Brody : Listen , he s got his dad and his grandma and -- and me and all these people who love him , so do nt you worry . We re going to get you through this .
Rex : I kept wondering if Shane was ever going to look at me the way he did Brody . Would he ever look at me as his dad ? And he almost does . Sometimes it -- it just comes out . Dad , over here , Dad . You want ice cream with that , Dad ?
Bo : He even has to ask ?
Rex : And now I m his dad and what good is it ? I ca nt fix it . I ca nt make it better .
Bo : I know . Last month I was all over Matthew about smoking dope . As it turns out , he was nt even doing it .
Rex : He was nt ?
Bo : No , my son tried to start a rumor about himself to impress a girl . And it s the same girl that treated him so rotten last night that he -- that he bolted . And then he got in a car with this kid that should nt even have been driving in the first place , and then he did nt wear a seatbelt . And now he looks up at me from a hospital bed , and I know there s nothing I can do about it .
Cole : Matthew , this is nt your fault .
Matthew : It kinda is . I knew you were using and I knew why . I did nt tell my mom because -- because I wanted you to like me .
Cole : Matt , I always liked you .
Matthew : As a friend or because you lived in the same house as me ? I wanted all of them -- Justin , Becca -- to think I was as cool as you . I let you down . I let everyone down .
Cole : It is nt your responsibility .
Matthew : Yeah , it was , according to my parents . They gave me the message loud and clear on what to do if you know someone who s on drugs . I failed the drill , and now they have to take care of me for the rest of my life . And that s on me , not you .
Nurse : How are you doing , Matthew ?
Matthew : I m okay .
Nurse : Are you feeling any discomfort ? Because the doctor ordered a pain killer if you need it .
Téa : So how exactly do I fit into this little theory of yours ?
John : Well , for argument s sake , if it is Todd , he stabbed his nursemaid , Marty s boyfriend , and his ex - wife . You re another ex of his and his sometime- lawyer , so if I were you , I d watch my back .
Téa : You re forgetting that I stabbed Lee Halpern .
John : You never stabbed anyone .
Téa : And you know that because ?
John : I ve seen what people look like when they ve killed someone . You do nt have the look .
Téa : And Todd does ?
John : He s capable . Now , whether he killed Wes and he killed Lee , I do nt know .
Téa : So you re not all knowing .
John : No , but , you know , I ve got to ask . Do you want another body on your conscience ? Because that s what s going to happen if you keep lying .
Téa : Oh , so it s my fault if some homicidal maniac decides to stab another one of Llanview s citizens .
John : So it was nt you and it was nt manning .
Téa : No , I did nt kill Lee Halpern , John , but neither did Todd .
Todd : I swear to you , I would never hurt your mother , ever , no matter how mad I got or how loud she yelled at me . Look at me . Do you believe me ?
Jack : Yeah , but I m still really scared . Because what if Mom does die and you re stuck in here ?
Todd : I m working on that .
Jack : Even if you do get out , you still ca nt come take care of us . You ve got that restraining order .
Todd : Yeah , well , I m working on that , too .
Jack : I m so sick of hearing stuff about what you re going to do . Get your act together and come home and be our dad .
Marty : When I think about what Cole s had to bear -- losing his father then losing me then losing a child . And then finding me again , but realizing that I did nt know how to love him . I was the one person that was supposed to take care of him . I did nt do it , so punish me . Punish me ! Do not take it out on Cole . He has been through so much and he is just a little boy . And he loves Matthew so much it is killing him -- killing him what he s done to him . He loves him and he loves -- he loves you , too . I know this is nt fair , but please do nt -- please do nt turn away from him . I know you re hurt and I know you re angry and I know you re frustrated , but all that -- all that belongs to me .
Nora : Oh , yeah , and then some . Because the truth is , none of this would have happened if you had stayed dead .
John : Explain something to me . How does a beautiful , smart , successful woman like yourself get used by that piece of crap ?
Téa : He s not a piece of crap . He is damaged .
John : Oh , well , if he s damaged , then okay . You know , if the D.A. finds out what you did , you ll be disbarred . You could lose your career , maybe even your freedom .
Téa : Are you going to tell her ? Because I m not .
John : No , I m not going to tell her . But why go to bat for him ?
Téa : He s my client , John .
John : And you love him .
Nora : None of it matters . Cole is the one , he has to take responsibility for what --
Marty : It was me . You re right , it was me . If I had nt come back , would nt have hurt anyone . And all I can say is how sorry I am ? It s not what I wanted . It s not what I wanted . But you re right , you were all better off without me .
Nora : It s not true . I m sorry , it s just not true . When I heard that you were alive -- oh , God , it was a miracle . I was so happy because I had missed you so much . And I knew -- I knew Cole . I knew how much he needed you and how much he loved you . And then I found out what you had gone through with Todd , and I was so angry . I just wanted justice for you . And I got so wrapped up in your case that I did nt even see what was happening in my own house . I did nt see -- Cole , he was cratering and I did nt see it . Me , his friend , his guardian . Of all people , I should ve seen it .
Brody : How about you go back to the hospital , and I ll put some stuff together for Shane .
Gigi : But I did nt even make a list or anything .
Brody : Gigi , if I have any questions , I ll text you , okay ?
Gigi : You sure ?
Brody : Go .
Gigi : Okay , thanks . He ll probably need his slippers , the ones from Christmas . Oh , and his robe . And his sweatshirt , the one that you gave him .
Brody : The Phillies .
Gigi : It s still his favorite .
Gigi : It was just the two of us for all those years . And then we found Rex , and we were finally a family . It was really working .
Brody : I know .
Gigi : Deep down , it ll always be Shane and me . If anything happens to him --
Brody : He s going to fight through this . I mean it .
Gigi : Okay .
Gigi : You have any idea how much you mean to all of us ?
Brody : As much as you guys mean to me .
Rex : How do I keep it together , Bo ? I got Gigi looking to me , Shane . I ca nt fall apart .
Bo : Nope . No , not with them .
Rex : Because it is going to get worse before it gets better . I do nt know if I can handle it .
Bo : Sometimes life just takes guts . It takes pure courage . You could be scared to death , but you do what you got to do . I m going to go check on my son .
Rex : Bo ? If I get through this , it s because of you .
Bo : Right back at you , Balsom .
Nurse : Now , you re sure you re not in any pain ?
Matthew : My shoulder s a little sore , but I ll be fine .
Nurse : Your friend s amazing .
Matthew : They re all being really nice to me because , I guess , I m a kid and they feel sorry for me .
Cole : And you do nt hate me ? You do nt want to throw something or yell or --
Matthew : Or what , punch you ?
Cole : Yes . Yes .
Matthew : What would that change ?
Cole : So then get mad about that .
Matthew : No matter how mad I get , I keep going back to why . Why did I get in the car ? Why did nt I buckle my seatbelt ? And why did nt I get you help when I had the chance ? And I just keep getting mad at myself .
Cole : I m so sorry .
Matthew : I know . Me , too .
Todd : Jack , I m going to do the best I can . In the meantime , I want you to stay strong for your sister and Sam , okay ?
Jack : I m not the dad , you are .
Todd : Yes , I know . And I m doing the best I can .
Jack : This is your best ? Forget it .
Todd : Jack . Hey !
Viki : It s okay . There s a guard and a locked door around the corner . He s not going anywhere . Do you know even Dorian does nt think you re guilty this time ?
Todd : And what do you think ?
Viki : Would you like me to call Téa for you ?
Todd : No , Téa quit on me . I need a new lawyer . You could make that call for me . Would you ?
Viki : Yeah , I think I can handle that .
Téa : I was just at Todd s jail cell , and it was very clear to me that I come in third . You know what that s like , though , John , do nt you ? Loving two women at the same time ?
John : Is that why you quit ?
Téa : Is nt that what they tell you to do on an airplane , save yourself first ? I m not saying it s easy . It s taking all I have not to run to the rescue . But yes , it s over .
John : Allow me . Well , good for you .
Téa : Thank you . Look , I m no saint , John , as you well know . I play to win . And I m not willing to go for the bronze , especially when it comes to my personal life .
John : Good . Hey , listen , this may sound strange , but when you found Lee Halpern s body , was there any special markings on it ? Letters , etchings , something like that ?
Téa : No .
John : One last question . Do the letters D or A mean anything to you ?
Téa : D.A. as in Nora . That s about it .
Marty : Do not blame yourself . You took wonderful care of Cole . You brought him into your family and you kept him on track . I was the one who threw him off . And you were right to come after me . I was nt doing what I was supposed to do . I was nt being a mother . I was falling apart , and you saw it and you were my friend . And I would never have had the strength to dig down deep and face it . I would never have gone to his room . I would never have gone to him if was nt for you . And I m going to owe you that for the rest of my life , so please , do not blame yourself . Oh , my God . If only I had thought about it sooner . If only I d done it sooner . You tried .

### Dialogue:
Donna : What if-- what if he left and I ca nt find him again ? What if-- what if I blew my only chance to ever know my son ?
Katie : Donna , you sent him away for a reason .
Donna : I was just so overwhelmed .
Katie : You also do nt know if you can trust this guy . Did he give you any proof that you re his mother ?
Donna : No . No . No , that s why I could nt sleep . I need to know if it s true , but how ?
Katie : Okay . All right . ( Groans ) All right , let s just take a breath . We -- we have to be smart about this .
Donna : You re right . You re right . Okay .
Katie : Okay , maybe I can help . Can you give me any more details ? I - I m assuming that it was a closed adoption , that you did nt want any connection , and the adoptive parents did nt , either .
Donna : Oh , Katie , maybe-- maybe it s just another Donna Logan . Maybe--
Katie : Well , where did he get that name ? Did he tell you ?
Donna : He found it in his adoptive parents things , along with a baby picture . But if it s -- if it s true , Katie , if I m his mother , I want to know him , too .
Katie : Where did you give birth ?
Donna : St. Joseph s .
Katie : St. Joe s here in L.A. Okay , why do nt you go to the office ? I ll see if I can get any information from hospital records .
Donna : Oh , my God . The office . Eric . Eric called a meeting , a big -- a big meeting . ( Sighs )
Katie : Well , go . Go .
Donna : If you hear anything , the second you do , you call me .
Katie : I will call you .
Donna : Okay .
Katie : Okay .
Felicia : So who are we missing ?
Brooke : Rick left a message-- said he wo nt be able to make it .
Ridge : Does he know how important this meeting is ?
Brooke : Yes , Ridge .
Ridge : And he blew it off anyway ?
Brooke : I m sure he had a good reason .
Thorne : Listen , I have the morning from hell down in shipping .
Ashley : And the lab is really backed up .
Felicia : Fine , let s get started .
Eric : Not without Donna .
Thorne : Dad !
Eric : Well , we can hold off for a few more minutes . She s a part of this team .
Felicia : Well , maybe her priorities have changed now that she s lady of the manor .
Thorne : And what experience does she have , Dad ? I mean , really ?
Ridge : Look , we have a lot to do today . I do nt see any reason to wait .
Eric : Do I need to remind all of you once again that this company would still be owned by Nick Marone if it were nt for Donna ?
Ashley : I think I m gon na call downstairs and see if she s arrived yet .
Ridge : It s really wonderful that Forrester Creations is back in our hands where it belongs , but now we need to focus on increasing our volume and profitability .
Brooke : And why should nt Donna be a part of that ? In the short time that she s been here , she s contributed a lot .
Thorne : Like what , Brooke ? I mean , what has Donna really brought to this company ? Well , besides tension .
Felicia : And her Oh , so sophisticated fashion sense .
Brooke : Oh , my goodness . I see somebody took their nasty pill this morning .
Felicia : ( Laughs )
Eric : I own this company . Donna s my wife . She has a place here . You will respect her .
Ridge : I just do nt see Donna having any really valuable position in this company , Dad . ( Door opens )
Donna : I am so sorry I m late . Did I miss anything ?
Eric : Good . You re here , Donna . Now that you re here , we can get started .
Felicia : But if there s other places you need to be , please , do nt let us keep you .
Donna : I - I am so sorry if I inconvenienced anyone . Oh , is there an extra agenda ? I left my copy at home .
Brooke : I ve got one for you .
Donna : Thank you . Thank you .
Felicia : You know , Donna , it really helps to come prepared . Otherwise , it wastes everybody s time .
Donna : You know what ? Why do nt you just start ? I m -- I m sure I ll catch up .
Eric : The first item is , uh-- is the holiday collection . Look I m already-- it s may . I m already getting calls from all the magazines about their lead time--
Ridge : Look , excuse me for interrupting , but I need to say something that s on my mind here . My dad has asked us to respect you . I think the least I can do is be straight with you .
Donna : I - I already apologized for being late . Uh--
Ridge : Late . Unprepared .
Eric : Ridge ...
Ridge : You do nt belong at Forrester Creations , Donna . Your sisters , yes . My mother , absolutely . You , no . All you ve brought is negative publicity to this company .
Felicia : And this family .
Brooke : You re all forgetting , who inspired one of Eric s most successful collections ? Donna , that s who .
Ridge : One collection . One collection , Brooke . Where are we headed now ?
Eric : All right , Donna s my wife . You will all treat her with the respect that she deserves .
Thorne : We are .
Eric : You listen to me , all of you . This whole company looks to you for leadership . You set the tone . Whatever example you set relative to Donna , everyone else will follow .
Felicia : Daddy , the employees respected mother , but she s gone , and they all know why .
Eric : Your mother s mistakes ended our marriage .
Thorne : Mistakes you could have worked through had nt it been for her .
Ridge : What about you , Dad ? What about your mistakes ? Everyone in the industry saw you standing naked out on that balcony outside of your little love nest . Now that might be good business if you re Jackie Marone , but excuse me . I thought Forrester Creations was supposed to be above that .
Eric : If I shamed this company , if I shamed this family , it s because all of you and your mother forced me to hide my feelings . Well , that s finished now . That s gone . Everything has changed . Donna is now Mrs. Eric Forrester . No more secrets , no more lies and no more of this garbage from all of you . You will treat everyone in this company in a civil manner , and that includes my wife . When you re ready to do that , you let me know . But until then , this meeting is adjourned .
Katie : Hi . Is this the records department ? ( Groans ) great . Good . Uh , I m trying to get some information on a child that was born at your hospital . I do nt have his name . I just have the birth mother s name . He was given up for adoption . Right . I know . I know those records are normally sealed , but what if the child and the mother want to find each other ? If you could just point me in the right direction , it would mean a lot to both of them .
Eric : Ridge , Thorne and Felicia -- I m fed up . I m just fed up with how they re behaving and how they re talking .
Donna : Can you blame them ? I mean , everywhere they look , I - I m in their faces .
Eric : Well , they re just gon na have to deal with it in some other way , other than acting like spoiled brats .
Donna : But for the sake of the company , maybe it s best if I just make a graceful exit .
Eric : Is that what you want ?
Donna : No . My God , no . Not at all . But if my being here is bad for our reputation , Eric--
Eric : All right , just stop it then . Stop right here . All this talk about scandal and what may have happened in the past , I guarantee you none of that matters-- not to me or anybody outside this company . I have complete faith in the woman I married .
Marcus : Excuse me . I d like to see Mrs. Forrester , please .
Eric : Mmm . ( Sighs )
Donna : I do nt ever want to disappoint you , Eric .
Eric : You never could , even if you tried .
Woman : Excuse me . Ms. Forrester , there s a young man here asking for you , says you want to see him .
Donna : Oh . Well , just tell him I ll be right with him .
Woman : Okay .
Eric : Who s that ?
Donna : Oh , I m just , um , interviewing freelance P.R. People to fill in for Katie .
Eric : Oh , I should have known you d take care of that . Good .
Donna : Yeah .
Eric : Thank you .
Donna : Could I use your office ? Do you -- do you mind ?
Eric : No , that s all right . I have a meeting . I ll be gone for an hour anyway . Good .
Donna : Okay .
Eric : See you then .
Woman : Tell Pam I ll be back in about an hour .
Woman : Okay .
Donna : Come in .
Marcus : Thank you . I was nt sure you d see me .
Donna : It s -- it s so good that you stopped by . I had -- I had no idea how to get ahold of you .
Marcus : Well , I m surprised that you want to . I told you I would nt see you again , and I got the feeling that you were fine with that .
Donna : If I hurt your feelings , Marcus , I apologize . I just -- I just was so stunned by what you told me . I ...
Marcus : You said I was mistaken about being your son . Was I ?
Ridge : I know we re all busy , but this ca nt wait .
Brooke : Well , just how insulting are you planning on getting , so that I can prepare myself ?
Felicia : Well , except for you , Brooke , it seems to me we re all in agreement . Donna has no place in this company .
Brooke : You re being so unfair .
Ashley : I do nt understand what s unfair about expecting your corporate leadership to have just a little experience .
Brooke : Excuse me ? Are you family ? I do nt even understand what you re doing here anyway .
Ashley : Actually , I m the head of the cosmetics division , Brooke , and Ridge asked me to be here .
Ridge : Let s just stay on the topic , please .
Brooke : Yes , crucifying my sister .
Felicia : If Dad insists on Donna working here somewhere , why does nt she take over Pam s job as receptionist ?
Brooke : ( Scoffs )
Thorne : Before anyone mentions receiving and shipping , I do nt need the headache .
Brooke : I m surprised nobody said scrubbing floors or cleaning toilets .
Ridge : All right , come on . This is not a vendetta , Brooke . It s strictly business .
Brooke : And I m supposed to believe that , Ridge ?
Ridge : If you feel that Donna has any area of expertise that would help lead and guide this company , please , enlighten me , because I m not seeing it . And while we re on the topic of personnel , Rick s worn out his welcome , as well .
Brooke : ( Gasps ) Oh , my God , this is ludicrous ! What is this , Attack Brooke s family day ?
Felicia : I ll tell you who does need to be here-- our mother , and she wo nt be answering to the likes of Donna Logan .
Donna : Do you have any kind of proof ?
Marcus : Do I need it ? Because it seems to me , you would nt even have to ask me that question if you have nt had a kid . So have you ? ( Cell phone rings ) ( rings )
Donna : I m -- I m sorry . I have to take this . ( Rings )
Donna : Hi . What do you have for me ?
Katie : You sound like you ca nt talk .
Donna : Correct .
Katie : I ve been doing some research .
Donna : Uh - huh .
Katie : There may be a way to get some answers .
Donna : Are you alone ?
Katie : Yeah . Why ?
Donna : We ll be right over .
Katie : We ? Donna !
Marcus : Was that about me ?
Donna : Look , um , there are some things that we need to discuss , but it ca nt be here .
Marcus : Fine . Tell me where to meet you .
Brooke : Since we re all being so candid here , I would just like to tell you that I am shocked about you just verbally abused my sister , especially you , Ridge .
Ashley : Ridge is only saying what the rest of us are thinking . Is it really appropriate for Donna to have been given such an important role as the one Eric gave her ? I mean , come on ! You re a businessperson , Brooke . You re not just Donna s sister .
Ridge : I agree with Ashley . You are being very biased here .
Brooke : I m just trying to support my family , Ridge , which happens to be falling apart at the moment .
Ridge : Brooke , you will always have a place in this company . Katie , too . But Donna is not a good fit , and never will be .
Felicia : If Dad wants to spend all of his time with her , groovy . That s his business , but just not here .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Ridge : Felicia actually just hit on the real topic here . As painful as it might be , it s time for a new leader .
Thorne : Wow . His last collection was a smash . I mean , guys , he could go out on top .
Ridge : Ashley , what do you think ?
Ashley : Well , um , you know , Eric is the Forrester brand to a lot of our buyers . I would hate to lose his design talent . I mean , I have to admit , though , I do nt have a lot of confidence in his management skills at the moment .
Felicia : Go ahead , Ashley . You can say it . Our father has nt been thinking with his brain lately .
Thorne : No . And it wo nt be easy to convince him to step down .
Ridge : Look , now that he s found his soul mate , why not kick back , enjoy life , let the rest of us Forresters run the damn company ?
Felicia : Now that you mention it , I do nt see the name Logan on the door anywhere .
Brooke : Well ... ( sighs ) I m a Logan . Should I take the hint and start looking elsewhere ?
Ridge : Oh , Brooke , do nt be so defensive . You re one of us . You re a Forrester .
Brooke : Am I ?
Ridge : You re the mother to three Forrester kids . I d say that is a yes .
Brooke : Ridge , you take a stand against my family , you take a stand against me .
Katie : I ca nt believe he just showed up at the office like that .
Donna : Yeah , I was just so relieved . I mean , the timing could nt have been worse . Eric s kids are-- are on a rampage again .
Katie : What now ?
Donna : Oh , the usual . You -- you know what ? It does nt matter . You said you had answers .
Katie : I have information , and I do nt have a whole lot of that . The adoption records are sealed . If both parties want to open them , then there s a possibility that can happen , but--
Donna : Hi . Come in .
Marcus : Nice place .
Donna : It belongs to a friend of mine . Um ... Marcus , this is , uh , my -- my sister Katie .
Katie : Hi . Um , it s nice to meet you .
Marcus : Yes , I remember you from the service the other day . I m sorry about your brother .
Katie : Thanks .
Marcus : So ... before you hustled me out of that office , I asked you a question . Have you ever had a kid ?
Donna : Look , I - I know it seemed like I was nt being straight with you , but I had my reasons .
Marcus : Is that a yes or a no ?
Donna : Yes . Yes , I had-- I had a baby ...
Marcus : ( Scoffs )
Donna : A baby boy I gave up for adoption . He s about your age , I guess . I do nt know . It was so -- so long ago , I - I thought I d never see him again . I-- but h - how would I know it was you ?
Marcus : Well , if you was nt in such a hurry to get me out of your mansion , you d have your proof .
Katie : What proof ?
Marcus : What do you remember about when you gave birth ?
Donna : Um , it-- it was early in the morning . There-- there was a beautiful sunrise come -- coming through the window . It was about-- about 5 : 30 .
Donna : ( Sobs ) It was-- it was a gorgeous morning in July , the 9th . ( Sobs ) ( Sobs ) ( Gasps )
Marcus : My birth certificate , the original , before the adoption .
Donna : ( Sobbing ) Baby Logan . 5 : 37 A.M. July the 9th . ( Sobs ) ( Sobbing ) ( Sobs ) Oh , my God . Oh , my God . It s true . You re my son ... ( Sobs ) my son . ( Sobs ) ( Sobbing )

Michelle : I know one thing that wo nt last forever .
Danny : What ?
Michelle : The honeymoon .
Danny : Want to bet ?
Tony : Hello .
Eden : Hey , you . What are you doing here all by your lonesome ?
Tony : Danny and Michelle are checking out of the honeymoon suite and I thought I would ease the transition by playing chauffeur . They re not down yet but I ca nt exactly knock on their door .
Eden : So romantic . Misguided but romantic all the same .
Tony : Excuse me ?
Eden : Your heart is in the right place but I think you can do better . You know what ? Come with me . You will thank me later .
Alan : Well , I hear that you redecorated my office .
Phillip : You mean my office ?
Alan : You told building services to remove all traces of me .
Phillip : Well , yeah , as I said before , it s mine now .
Alan : So , Phillip , I guess now you have everything that you want . Everything .
Nora : Okay . Everyone , I d like to get started . We have a lot of ground to cover today . So , grab your partners and-- hey I m Nora . Olivia . Hi .
Nora : Welcome , Olivia . Welcome everyone to introductory birthing class . Sign- in sheets by the door . Is your partner parking the car ?
Olivia : No , no . I m alone . I do nt have a partner .
Harley : He s in there .
Gus : I know .
Harley : Scram .
Gus : What do you mean scram ?
Harley : Get lost , skedaddle , whatever . Honey , I appreciate your being protective but this is what we have to do to get what we need . We agreed . My dad is in there . He wo nt try anything .
Gus : He will be embarrassed because of your daddy ? I ll just haul him down and we ll take our chances .
Harley : Piss him off in the process ? Then we will never know if Hendon s special ops ring is what caused the mark on Ben s neck or on Mrs. Hendon s when she was killed , come on . Let s get this guy today . Wait . Where are you going to be ?
Gus : I m going to be worrying about whether sending you in to talk to a murderer is a huge mistake or not .
Mr. Hendon : I m a mess , Buzz . My wife is dead and her affair with that trust fund wanna be is splattered all over the front page . Wherever I am , the way people look at me .
Buzz : You do nt have to worry about that here .
Mr. Hendon : Thanks . But I do nt care as long as the maniac gets caught .
Buzz : The sooner the better .
Mr. Hendon : You know what else needs to be over ? The Garden of Eden . Police need to close that place down . If it had nt been available , those places prey on people . Nothing more than legalized prostitution rings . I ca nt help but thinking Ramona would still be alive if she had nt got mixed up with those people .
Harley : Hey , Dad .
Buzz : You know my daughter , Harley .
Mr. Hendon : Detective Cooper , right ?
Harley : Actually , it s ex - detective Cooper . I ve left the force . I m choosing to concentrate on things closer to home . I m sorry about your loss , Mr. Hendon .
Mr. Hendon : Thanks .
Harley : You took off your wedding ring , I could nt help but notice .
Buzz : Harley .
Mr. Hendon : No , that s okay . I m still wearing it .
Harley : I m sorry . With your hands crossed , I thought I was looking at your ring finger , wedding ring finger .
Mr. Hendon : I used to wear a different ring on that hand .
Buzz : Special ops ring welded to your hand . What happened to it ?
Mr. Hendon : I guess I lost it .
Hot in here . Like when your car is left in the sun all day without cracking a window . Well I ll tell you what , you turn on the air once , you tell me what we re doing here ? Well , I wanted to see what they did to this place . You are such a piece of work . Come on . They ca nt come home to this . I ll turn on the air . By the time they get here , the place will be cooled down . When they walk through that threshold , they have to come into something special . They have that , their whole life is going to be great . I m not getting through to you , am I ? No , you re not . Why do nt you help me out a and be a little more specific . You have to have a big banner that says welcome home Danny and Michelle and balloons all over the place and flowers . You know , it sounds really corny but in this instance I think it s okay to be corny . That s an awful lot of stuff . They re going to be home in a little bit . We ll just do the foyer area . Sounds like a plan . I guess it s better than a ride home . Fine , you win . I do nt know what to do about this wedding stuff . Marah is not here . I think Marah would agree with me . Okay , we have to get moving so I m going to buy supplies and you stay here and clean up and would you please open some windows ? Wait a second . I just want to know one thing . I do nt understand why you re doing this . It s note like you re close to Michelle or anything . I m a girl . Even though Michelle and I are different , I know what girls like . If you say so . When I comes to love , I know what a woman wants . So you re doing this for women everywhere ? That s it ? Well , that and ... All right . You win . Let s get cracking .
Phillip : You re right . I am the man that has everything . At the moment I m the man who has a meeting . So if you ll excuse me .
Alan : Is that what you call them now , you and Olivia . Meetings ? It s not very original .
Phillip : We re not meeting at all these days . I have to go .
Alan : I m really surprised at you , Phillip . Quitting so easily . I mean you re a lot of things but being a quitter is not one of them .
Phillip : I guess you re entitled to enjoy this one to know that you ve really gotten what you wanted .
Alan : I m not going to deny that I take some satisfaction in knowing she turned her back on you . What I m concerned with is the way you ve handled it .
Phillip : I m awfully sorry to hear that .
Alan : I mean , you can take Olivia or leave her . Women come and go . That s not the issue . The issue is your children . They re the one thing in life you do nt give up on now if Olivia were carrying my child ...
Phillip : No , of course . You want control of the situation . That s your primary instinct . Same old Alan .
Alan : Call it whatever you want .
Phillip : But I m not like you .
Alan : No , you re not like me at all . Because you ve always chased castles in the air .
Phillip : What is that supposed to mean ?
Alan : You have these standards , these ideals about life , love and family that no one can live up to . Not me , not Olivia , not even you . Look what s it s brought you . Nothing . Now if Olivia does nt come back to you , it is because she will realize it is impossible to make a life with you .
Phillip : As much as I appreciate these father insights and observations , you can keep them to yourself because I do nt need anything that you have to offer me .
Alan : I think you need it now more than ever . What am I thinking ? Giving you advice ? I m the last person on earth you would take advice from . After all , we re not flesh and blood . Or so you keep reminding me .
Receptionist : Miss Spencer is out for the day . Her first birthing class . I d pay to see her breathe , too . Can I help you ?
Phillip : You already have .
Nora : As you can see , we ve come a long way from the days of having the machine wait in the waiting rooms with their cigars . While your partner can not have the baby for you , he can at least be in the room with you while you do . And he can support you . Listen , I did nt want to put you on the spot before but the point of these classes is really to work with a partner . I mean if you do nt have one , we can make arrangements .
Olivia : I think I m fine on my own .
Nora : The baby is coming no matter what . This class is a lot more about helping the parents . You need to have someone ...
Olivia : No , I do nt need anyone . And I really do nt need you to judge my choice .
Nora : Sweetie , I m not judging you . This is just a little experience look , having someone to hold your hand , to breathe with you , to guide you through the process . Trust me , you do nt want to do this alone .
Phillip : She wo nt have to . Hi . I m Phillip Spaulding . I m the father . I hope I m not too late .
Nora : No , not at all .
Michelle : What would you say if we spend the rest of our lives in bed .
Danny : Sounds good to me . Although there is the small matter of our son .
Michelle : We can give him an adjoining room . Robbie would have a blast here .
Danny : There s your dream house . What are we going to do about that ?
Michelle : We could visit . I just want to stretch our honeymoon out to the edge . Our little family with no interruptions from the outside world . Except for room service . And us . I love us .
Danny : I love us , too . I do nt know if I should tell you this .
Michelle : What ? What is it ?
Danny : Never mind .
Michelle : Danny ? Hey .
Danny : Look , I really debated whether I should tell you this or not . It s about Ben .
Michelle : I turned on the TV when you got in the shower . He is going to be fine .
Danny : He was attacked at the barbecue just after we left . Michelle . What do you mean attacked ?
Danny : He is going to be fine . I just thought you should know .
Michelle : We have to go there . Danny I need to be there .
Danny : It is still an open case . The cops do nt want any visitors there . I m sure Ben would nt want you to be there .
Michelle : I think he would .
Danny : The killer is still out there .
Michelle : He needs to know that people care about him .
Danny : I m sure he knows . He is going to be fine . I thought you should know . There is nothing you can do right now . You can call him later , okay ? Later . Come here .
Michelle : Now I never , ever want to leave this room .
Danny : I know . We ca nt run away from the world .
Michelle : I just want it to be you and me for a while .
Danny : We can keep it simple . I believe we can handle anything now that we re married . Good stuff , not good stuff . We can get through it as long as we stay together , right ? What ?
Michelle : I know ...
Danny : It s true . It s only going to get better for us . It is . Nothing but better . I promise .
Eden : Looking good .
Tony : Yes , maam .
Eden : Please do not call me maam .
Tony : Yes , sir . How s that ?
Eden : Did you turn on the air conditioner yet ?
Tony : I did but think about it . It is going to take forever to cool this place down .
Eden : Well , when in Rome ...
Tony : You know , we have people that do that for you . They re called florist .
Eden : I am a woman of many talents .
Tony : Yeah . But I never thought of you as a flower type . I do nt know how many times I spent my last five bucks on flowers . Where do did you learn how to do that ?
Eden : Well , there was this shop , a flower shop in the old neighborhood , and this really grouchy woman owned it , but she was actually ....
Tony : Grouchy when you met her .
Eden : I was going to say she was an artist . How did you know Mrs. Gennaro .
Tony : I used to go to her shop every week . I ca nt believe you liked her .
Eden : She was lonely . Once you got to know her she was nt that bad . Anyway , that s where I learned how to arrange flowers . Why were you going there every week if you did nt like her ?
Tony : My father used to have me get flowers for my mother .
Eden : He must have screwed up a lot .
Tony : No , no . He bought her flowers on the first date and he never stopped .
Eden : How sweet . It was sweet of you to pick them up .
Tony : It was next to the chocolate store .
Eden : I used to love those . Did you know his name was not really Giorgio .
Tony : Yeah , it was .
Eden : No , it was nt . That s okay . Even though you can not remember anything , I really ca nt believe that you and I never crossed paths .
Tony : Maybe we did .
Eden : Maybe we did .
Tony : Of all things , taking a trip down memory lane with Eden August is not what I thought I would be doing today . Funny . Really funny . After all the things we ve been through .
Eden : I do nt think it s funny . I do nt think it s funny at all .
Buzz : I never thought I d see you without that ring .
Mr. Hendon : I know . It just does nt seem so important right now . It will show up . Somewhere .
Buzz : Last thing you need to worry is about a ring .
Harley : I have to go . I m sorry . I just remembered something really important .
Buzz : What ?
Harley : Jude . I do nt want Rick to be late for work . I have to pick him up . Again Mr. Hendon . I m sorry for your loss . I m sure they ll catch whoever did this very , very soon . See you later , Dad , okay ? Pick up , pick up , Gus . Hey , it s ... Hey , it s me . Listen , call me . When you get the message , call me . You are not going to believe it . Bye . I think I got something . I mean it s just a hunch .
Harley : Mr. Hendon . Are you taking off ?
Mr. Hendon : Actually , I wanted to talk to you .
Harley : I wish I could , but like I said , I m late . I need to pick up my son .
Mr. Hendon : I m guessing your son is what your hunch was about .
Harley : Exactly . It s a little embarrassing .
Mr. Hendon : Try me .
Harley : It s the case of the missing bear . Actually my littlest one , he lost his stuffed teddy bear and I got this feeling , well this , hunch , that it might be my older son who took it , so I m thinking we should try his favorite hiding spot .
Mr. Hendon : Sounds like you re a pretty good detective . You always get your man .
Harley : Or bear , as the case may be . Mr. Hendon , I realize there s so much anxiety involved in this thing with your life , but like I said , I ca nt help you with that anymore . The only hunches I have are about my own children .
Mr. Hendon : But you can still help me .
Harley : How ?
Mr. Hendon : You re not a cop anymore but your boyfriend is . I need you to tell him something for me .
Harley : Sure .
Mr. Hendon : Tell him to find the killer . I know I have nt be been the biggest help in this investigation , but I want justice .
Harley : Of course you do and I m sure Gus will do everything he can to help ...
Mr. Hendon : Victims families are often forgot in this process , but I wo nt be forgotten . Tell Aitoro to catch this guy , whoever it is , but I think we all know who it is .
Harley : You do ?
Mr. Hendon : Ben Reade .
Harley : Actually , Ben Reade is in the hospital . Someone tried to kill him . Pretty shaken up . So it appears he s more of a victim than a suspect .
Mr. Hendon : Maybe that s what he wants you to think .
Harley : I know how upsetting this whole thing is for you Mr. Hendon . I will tell Gus what you said , every word .
Mr. Hendon : Thank you , Harley .
Harley : I hope that you heard that . I hope when you get this message that will you meet me at the Bauer s because like I said , I think I ve got something .
Olivia : What part of on my own do you not get .
Phillip : I heard were you we-- I was at the Beacon and I heard you were here .
Olivia : It would be easier if you were nt here .
Phillip : All is fair in love and war .
Olivia : You know what you can do with your love .
Phillip : I m here for the baby . Maybe you can hold off on making a scene until after class .
Olivia : Something to look forward to .
Nora : All right , class , they do call it labor for a reason . But it s work that you and your partner share in order to bring a happy , healthy baby into the world . Now , our primary goal to making sure the mother is relaxed . And it s the coach s job to keep you relaxed through massage and through breathing . So if you will all now please assume this position . Okay . Everyone . Did you see what Phillip just did ? Notice the closeness between them , the intimacy . This is what we re working to create . As a partner , you have to move in , assist , not watch . This is nt your first , is it ?
Phillip : No . But it s our first .
Nora : Well , everyone else is a newbie so feel free to share with us what you know . We re going to like having you around .
Danny : What are you doing ? Come here . How many thresholds is this going to be for us .
Michelle : I just want to walk with you side by side , feet on the ground . Okay ?
Danny : Okay . Sorry .
Michelle : Wow . It s beautiful . But hot . Really hot .
Tony : You guys just made it . We just finished .
Danny : Wow . This is something .
Tony : You really like it ? We only did the hallway . I was going to pick you up from the Beacon and do the whole romantic chauffeur thing but Eden said we should do something different to kick off your married life .
Danny : It s really something .
Michelle : Its great . Thank you .
Tony : You re welcome . Your dad called . Said Robbie was fine and he would be back later .
Michelle : I have to make a call but I ll be back in a second . You ll be here , right ?
Tony : She okay ?
Danny : Just worried about Ben . Eden . I just have to get something out of the car . No celebration is good without food .
Tony : Danny , set the record straight . Remember the guy in the old neighborhood , the guy who used to work behind the counter at the store on Ninth Street . What was his name ?
Danny : At Giorgio s ? Giorgio .
Tony : Eden thinks there was no Giorgio in the history of Giorgio . She ca nt get anybody to back her up .
Eden : I can call Gus . He ll back me up .
Danny : You said there was more stuff in the car ? Tony , do nt make her do the all the work . Help her .
Tony : I ll be right back .
Danny : So , you were really busy .
Eden : Yeah , it was fun .
Danny : It was a nice surprise for Michelle , prolong the celebration . Like I said , she s very worried about Ben .
Eden : We all are . I never wanted something bad like this to happen to him . But you know , it s made me realize what is really important in life are things like you and Michelle .
Danny : Yeah , I know . You know what else I know ?
Eden : What ?
Danny : That the only reason you did this was to get close to Tony . I m on to you , Eden .
Harley : Mitch Hendon s ring is probably sitting by his sink somewhere . But if he tried to kill Ben , his ring would be here somewhere . And then we could tie him to Ben and the murder .
Gus : If we do nt have a ring , we got nothing . Everybody came through here . We got forensic that came through here , Gardners came through here . The chances of finding the ring , unless I use one of these spades of Judes . I ll dig up this place by myself . I ll get a metal detector . That s what I will do . I m a genius . What are you doing ?
Harley : Cover me . I m going in .
Phillip : I m in full expectant father mode . Cracking jokes , going great . So then Dr. Sedgwick turns around and says breathe . I turned around and looked at my wife . She seemed to be breathing fine . It was at this point I noticed I was feeling a little height leded-- lightheaded . She was nt worried about her . She was looking at me . I m telling you . It happened . I was so focused on her breathing , I was not breathing . She was seriously worried I was going to pass out .
Nora : Okay . This is the kind of thing we can all look forward to and learn from . Okay . Now it s time for our first homework assignment . How to count your way through a contraction . So take your partner s hand and countdown from ten slowly , encouraging breathing . You re helping her weather the pain , okay ? You can begin ... And mothers , do nt forget , pick a focal point and stay with us . A lot of women pick a point on the wall , but a lot of women choose to focus on their partners . It s your choice . Okay ? Begin .
Phillip : Ten , nine , eight , seven , breathe in , breathe out . Seven , not so tight , six , five , four , three , two , one . Nice nails .
Olivia : You know what she said . It s about experiencing the pain .
Nora : Okay . That s it for today . You did a great job . Um , do you mind hitting the lights on your way out . And thanks again .
Phillip : Thank you . This was fun .
Olivia : Easy for you . My fun is about to begin because I m going to ring your neck !
Phillip : Yeah , I pushed a little .
Olivia : Pushed ? You went further . These guys are like your birthing class junkies . You took over the class .
Phillip : You gave me no choice .
Olivia : How is that ?
Phillip : I sent letters , flowers . No response .
Olivia : I want nothing to do with you . The letters are in the waste basket . I just want to be alone .
Phillip : That s my child . I intend to be there for every moment of that child s life . The child deserves to have a father . You do nt want to go through this alone . Olivia . I m supposed to let you come back into my life . Phillip . You know how much my children mean to me .
Olivia : You make a grand gesture and I m supposed to forget about everything . I m not that easy .
Phillip : I do nt know how many ways I can say I m sorry .
Olivia : I do nt want your apologies . I opened myself up to you . I laid myself bare for you . I trusted you . You could nt do the same . Now I ca nt do this anymore .
Phillip : You re right . I did nt trust you . That does nt mean that we ca nt find a way .
Olivia : To get back what we lost ? Well , I do nt want that back . I m not going to spend the rest of my life waiting to decide I m not good enough for you .
Phillip : That was never the issue .
Olivia : Give me a break . You have nt looked at me the same since you found me with Alan . Even when you said we could get passed that . You have been waiting for the other shoe to drop . I did nt screw up this time . I did nt . It was nt me . It was you . But let s face it . One of these days , I m bound to make a big old mistake and you re just going to kick me out of your life again because it s all or nothing with you . And I have this sinking feeling I m going to be left with nothing , and I ca nt live with that . I should nt have to .
Phillip : Look , I never intended to make you feel that way . You hurt me . I hurt you . That does nt mean that there s nothing left that we can do .
Olivia : Finally a little honesty .
Phillip : You ll get no argument from me . It has been very difficult for me to get passed what happened with you and Alan .
Olivia : Do nt strain yourself because it s too late .
Phillip : I think we need to see if there is something we can do .
Olivia : There was a time I would have jumped at that offer , but , um , see , I decided I m not going to settle and I would rather be alone than to take this pathetic excuse for love you re handing out .
Phillip : Hey , I will admit that what we had was different than anything that I ve had in relationships in the past . Olivia . Maybe it s just the air .
Phillip : Just listen to me for a minute , please . Maybe the reason that I am so hard on you is because you remind me of myself . I do nt know . Maybe I just ca nt fall into the comfortable place that I fall into in most other relationships . I do nt know and I really do nt care . What I do care about is the fact that we are going to have a child . And I think if we decide to do it and commit ourselves and put some effort into it , maybe we can make something good .
Olivia : No guarantees , right ?
Phillip : I ca nt guarantee anything will be different this time . I can guarantee you that I m not going anywhere . I will wait if I have to .
Olivia : You just have all the right words , do nt you .
Phillip : They re not just words . It will hurt me not to be a part of this with you .
Olivia : Well , I think that s just maybe your conscience , you know . Feeling guilty .
Phillip : I m sorry . I really am . I hope in time you will see that and I will do everything I can to make you see that . The question is are you willing to try ? You do nt have to give me an answer . Because to be honest with you , regardless of your answer , I m going to be here for that child .
Olivia : Good . I think you re a good father . And you will be a part of this baby s birth and life , but I m not going to let you use this to get into my heart ever again . Because you did hurt me a lot .
Eden : Do nt you think I could do something nice just to be nice ?
Danny : No . Come on , Eden . You did nt do this for me and Michelle . You know that Marah is out of town you saw an opportunity to get alone with Tony and you took it .
Eden : I m dating Bill . Tony and I are just friends . You know , for a guy who s got the whole town convinced that he is a changed man , you do nt leave a lot of room for anyone else , do you ?
Danny : You re still in the same business as far as I know , up to the same old tricks .
Eden : Well , you know some people ca nt just flip a switch and have a brand - new life . Even Tony knows that .
Danny : Something you have in common ? Does that make you soul mates ?
Eden : We re friends . You know , you do nt like me very much . And I do nt think you will in the near future , but that does nt mean you can keep me and Tony part .
Danny : I ve got news for you . I m Tony s family and I ll always have his back .
Eden : You do nt need to protect him from me .
Danny : Says who , you ?
Eden : Tony is a man , you do nt get to decide who he likes or what he thinks . You still think of him as a little kid that you can boss around . When will you realize he is a man and can make his own decisions or maybe you just have nt changed as much as you say you have .
Gus : Harley , babe , you know , when you take your clothes off like that and you are kneeling your underwear and you jump in the hot tub , it s hard for me to stay in cop mode , you know ? Babe . Harley . Do nt stay down too long . There it is . It was caught in the drain . It must have come off him when he was pushing Ben in the hot tub . We got him . Mitch Hendon is the Garden of Eden murderer and he s going down .
I have definitely met you somewhere else . This is about Marina , right ? And she s like a distraction ? I had no one else to call .
### Summary:
| Eden convinced Tony to help her decorate Danny and Michelle s house to celebrate their homecoming . The air conditioning had been off , so Tony took off his shirt . Not to be outdone , Eden took off her top , too . Danny and Michelle returned to find that the half - dressed couple had filled their home with flowers . Danny accused Eden of trying to get to Tony , but she denied it , saying that he had no right to choose Tony s friends . After Alan taunted him for giving up too easily on Olivia , Phillip barged in on her first birthing class . He quickly won over the instructor , but Olivia was furious . She told him that she wanted nothing to do with him , because he would eventually decide she was nt good enough for him . He disagreed , and said that no matter what she decides , he will be a part of the baby s life . Harley found out that Mitch Hendon had lost his signet ring . She found it stuck in the drain of the Bauer hot tub , and concluded to Gus that Mitch must have lost it when he was holding Ben under the water . |

### Dialogue:
Taylor : Steffy ?
Steffy : Hey , mom . ( Sighs )
Taylor : You looked like were about a million miles away .
Steffy : no , just in Malibu-- thinking about last night .
Taylor : Do nt read too much into that just because hope was nt there .
Steffy : You know , Liam was all alone . Hope stood him up .
Taylor : I know . I know .
Steffy : And ... ( Sighs ) we kissed .
Bill : I ve been looking all over for you . I was just sending you a text . You delayed printing ?
Liam : Yeah , like , an hour , tops . I ve got Jarrett working on revisions .
Bill : Well , he better work fast . So how did it go last night fending off the press ?
Liam : What ?
Bill : The press . You went to dinner with hope , right ?
Liam : Oh . Oh . Yeah . No , I did nt have to deal with reporters . Hope did nt show up actually . You ll be pleased to know I ended up spending that time with Steffy instead .
Hope : Thank you for meeting me . ( Sighs )
Amber : Of course . I was glad to get your text . So , um , are you okay ? Do you need any more ?
Hope : No .
Amber : Okay .
Hope : Amber , I want to apologize to you .
Amber : ( Chuckles ) okay . About what ?
Hope : I want to apologize for letting you think that I could support you .
Amber : Uh , oh , what ?
Hope : Going to bat for you with my mom , I m not gon na do that again . You are not good for Rick , and you are certainly not good for me .
Amber : ( Sighs ) did -- did I , like , do something wrong or something ?
Hope : No , this is my fault . When you told me that those pills were from you , I should have turned the other way instead of asking for more .
Amber : Well , I mean , if this is about the pills , I was just trying to help you .
Hope : Maybe that s true . I take full responsibility . I m the one who asked for more . But that should have been for my doctor to decide , not you .
Taylor : Liam kissed you ?
Steffy : Well , it was the other way around , but still .
Taylor : But he did nt protest .
Steffy : Exactly .
Taylor : Oh , my goodness . So you thought something like this might happen .
Steffy : Well , just like imagine if I agreed to an annulment . Hope and Liam , they-- they would be married right now . You know , as the disappointment settles in for him , well , maybe--
Taylor : So-- so what s the deal ? Why did nt hope call ? She did nt try to explain why she was nt showing up ?
Steffy : Mom , you know hope . And plus this could nt be better timing . Aspen .
Taylor : Oh , fashion week .
Steffy : Yes . Liam is gon na be there covering the event for Spencer , and I m gon na be there researching my ski line .
Taylor : And one thing leads to another .
Steffy : Mm - hmm . In aspen , you know , where it all began . ( Inhales sharply ) all the memories . Mom , this is it . This will bring me and Liam back together .
Bill : Steffy kissed you ?
Liam : I mean , see , this-- right here , this is why I do nt tell you things , because you re gon na get ideas in your head .
Bill : Oh , come on . It s happening again . You know it s happening again . Steffy s there for you when hope is nt .
Liam : What -- what ? Because hope fell asleep ?
Bill : Fell asleep ? Oh , for god sake .
Liam : Yeah , dad , she had a panic attack , okay ? She took one of her pills and ... you know .
Bill : Yeah , I see .
Liam : ( Sighs ) okay , I know how you think , all right ? And I know you ve got this idea in your head that -- that-- that seeing a psychiatrist is like a sign of weakness or something . Well , it s not , okay , and neither is taking medication when you need it-- I mean , proper medication . Anyway , we takeout I it s not an issue anymore . Hope is done with the pills .
Bill : But is she done with the crazy ?
Hope : Amber , making me think that those pills were from my doctor was foolish and really dangerous .
Amber : ( Sighs ) I - I - I knew you were in a bad place , and you needed some help so--
Hope : And you lied , because that s what you do .
Amber : ( Voice breaking ) I m sorry .
Hope : I m not mad . I just ... I need you to know that I can not be your advocate anymore-- not for my mom , not -- not for anybody .
Amber : Okay .
Hope : Amber , I want you to be careful . I mean , if you re using that web site for yourself--
Amber : No , no . I m just--
Hope : Okay , good . Because just -- I do nt feel like you can trust a web site that s going to sell you medication without a prescription . Amber , I do nt know what was in those pills . I do nt even know if it s the same thing my doctor was giving me .
Amber : Well , you know , they were generic , you know . But I mean , they were the same thing , I m sure .
Hope : No , I - I do nt know about that , amber . I felt really ... weird . I - I was shaky . I - I was really thirsty . I was drowsy , really light - headed .
Amber : Well , you know , side effects are common . I m sure your doctor would agree . But ... you re right . Thank you . I get it . I - I wo nt use that site anymore .
Hope : Good .
Amber : So did you get a new prescription or ...
Hope : No . I m not taking those pills anymore . I am going to deal ... ( Sighs ) with this stress ... ( Sighs ) on my own . And I have Liam . He s all the support that I need .
Amber : I m glad you have Liam to help you get through this , because he loves you so much . And -- and the two of you , you re -- you re made for each other ... ( Sighs ) just like your brother and me .
Hope : ( Sighs ) amber .
Amber : No , you know when someone is right for you . You can feel it .
Hope : I also know when someone is completely wrong .
Amber : Well--
Hope : I m sorry , amber , but I do not want you back with Rick .
Amber : Is it because of those pills , huh ? Is that what it is ? I was just trying to help you . I was just--
Hope : By giving me drugs ?
Amber : Well , you needed them . You said you needed them , you know , to help you feel strong , to help you get over your anxiety .
Hope : No , I needed something safe from my doctor .
Amber : Okay whatever . But they worked , right ?
Hope : I ll admit , yeah , they helped me relax , but not in a good way . Why would I take a pill from some shady web site when all I have to do is look at the man I love , feel his arms around me . I m sorry , amber . I know you re trying to help , but ... I am not taking those pills anymore . I do nt want anything to do with them or you ever again .
Amber : ( Sighs )
Liam : They re great fixes , Jarrett . No , no , no , no , no . We re -- we re -- we re ready to go . Yeah , we re good . I - I m gon na send them the e - mail now . Yeah , okay , thanks . Ready for print .
Bill : It s about time .
Liam : Yeah , yeah , yeah .
Bill : Listen , uh ... ( Sighs ) about hope , maybe she needs to get away , get out of the spotlight .
Liam : Agreed .
Bill : Send her to a spa for an extended stay .
Liam : Actually , I was , um ... thinking more along the lines of somewhere with me . I m taking her to aspen .
Bill : What , are you crazy ? I thought you wanted to get her away from the press . It s gon na be swarming .
Liam : Yeah , at the event , but not at your house where she can relax , enjoy the scenery .
Taylor : And here I thought you d want to spend a little time with Steffy .
Bill : Steffy s gon na be there ?
Taylor : I just came from talking to her , Liam . She loves you so much . I know she always will . Despite the fact that you re living with hope , Steffy is still your wife .
Steffy : Oh . I , uh ... ( Sighs ) was just leaving this for Rick . Missed you at bikini last night .
Hope : Hmm . I m sure you did .
Steffy : Yeah , Liam seemed really concerned when you did nt show . I mean , what happened ?
Hope : I ve explained it all to him .
Steffy : Okay . You know , Liam s been really worried about you-- the whole incident at the pool , your little argument . It s got ta be hard to take-- your girlfriend having these crazy mood swings .
Hope : We re working through all that .
Steffy : Good . I hear you re making an effort at least . Hey , do nt get all stressed out on my account . It s good that you re getting help .
Hope : Steffy , are you trying to hint at something ?
Steffy : I know you re seeing a psychiatrist . You need a little extra oomph to get you through the day , huh ? But do nt worry . It s no big deal . Your secret s safe with me . Liam could see what he s walking away from .
Bill : Or walking to . I want to ask you a question professionally .
Taylor : Sure .
Bill : Antianxiety meds ... ( Sighs ) pretty common for you to prescribe them ?
Taylor : In times of stress , yeah . It can be very beneficial for someone . It depends on the patient and the circumstances .
Bill : ( Inhales sharply )
Taylor : Do you want ...
Bill : ( Sighs )
Taylor : To make an appointment ?
Bill : What ? Appoint -- oh , me ? No . It s not about me . I m perfect . You know that . Hope , on the other hand-- nuts , cuckoo , on the verge of cracking and dragging my son down with her .
Taylor : This is exactly what your son wanted-- to find out how things would be with hope , and so if he s unhappy--
Bill : Walking on eggshells for her , the -- the -- the-- this pill - popping woman who keeps running to her shrink every other second .
Taylor : Well , that s not all such a bad thing .
Bill : I do nt want him spending one more moment with Hope . She has never really made him happy , and I do nt even know why he thinks it s possible .
Taylor : Well , it s true . He was much happier with Steffy .
Bill : Well , they were great together . And she was nt freaking out every time a reporter looked at her sideways .
Taylor : Well , I - I do nt want to encourage the way you re talking about hope s issues . I already know what you believe about therapy and what it says about other people who seek it .
Bill : Right , but ...
Taylor : But I do nt disagree with you . Liam was in a much better place when he was with Steffy . It s just that the way-- the way I would say it is that if hope does nt get some help , if she does nt get a handle on her emotional issues , she has no business making a marriage commitment . Things wo nt get any better . It will only get worse . And I would nt wish that on Liam .
Bill : You know what ? I want hope to get the help she needs in a nice padded facility far away from my son . He will go running back to Steffy so fast .
Taylor : Well , all three of them would be much better off . Look , I want you to know that I - I really do appreciate what your son has brought to Steffy s life , and I want to see them together . I just -- I do nt know how .
Hope : It s not a secret . I ve been seeing a psychiatrist . So what ?
Steffy : You know , my mom s a shrink . I do nt find fault in anyone needing professional help-- you know , a - a little medication--
Hope : Yeah , I do nt know what you ve heard about that , Steffy , but , um , I m not taking pills anymore .
Steffy : Oh , really ? Are they -- are they not working for you ? Cause maybe you just need to talk to your doctor .
Hope : No , I just do nt need them .
Steffy : Uh - huh . So you re just over your anxiety just like that ?
Hope : No . I have Liam . He is all the support that I need . Yeah , this is a very difficult time for me , because someone is making it so I ca nt marry the man that I love . But I do nt need pills to get me through it . Liam gets me through it . So bring on the stress , Steffy . Give me all you ve got . I really do nt care . Liam and I are moving on with our lives , and every day is another day closer to your divorce being final .
Hope : The tie between you two is all but gone , and thinking about that just helps my stress float away .
Steffy : Our marriage will be over soon ... maybe . But do nt kid yourself . That tie ... will always be there .
Liam : Hey , hope , I , uh ... Steffy .
Hope : Hi .
Steffy : Hi .
Liam : Hi .
Hope : What s going on ?
Liam : Are you okay ?
Hope : Uh - huh . I m fine .
Liam : Um , okay , I can come back later if you re -- if you re busy .
Steffy : No , I was-- I m -- I m just running out . It was , uh , good seeing you last night .
Liam : You , too .
Steffy : I ll see you in Aspen .
Liam : Yeah , um ... hope and me both .
Hope : What ?
Steffy : Wait , what ?
Liam : It s what I came here to ask you . Do you want to come ?
Hope : I do nt know . I mean--
Liam : Come with me .
Hope : There will be so much press . I do nt know if I can handle all the questions and accusations and--
Liam : Do nt worry about that .
Hope : My line ca nt afford any more bad press right now .
Liam : You leave that to me . I ve got a plan .
Steffy : Sounds like we ll all be there together again . This should be fun .
Bill : They re all going to aspen-- Steffy , Liam , and the crackpot .
Taylor : What are you thinking , bill
Bill : Sometimes in life , you just need a nudge .
Bill : Aspen s the key . ( Sighs ) it worked before . It ll work again
Hope : So what s the plan ? I do nt want to go to aspen and have to face a bunch of reporters .
Liam : You wo nt .
Hope : It s fashion week .
Liam : We ll stay at my dad s place . It s tucked away in the woods , secluded , romantic . Nobody will ever see us . I ll cover fashion week . You do nt have to go with me . You do nt even have to leave the house . I mean , you ve been so bombarded left and right by reporters here in L.A. It s -- it s such a strain on you .
Hope : ( Sighs )
Liam : You deserve a break . So let s get out of here . Come with me .
Hope : Our own private retreat , just the two of us . ( Sighs ) that is exactly what I need . Yes . ( Giggles
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Hope : Mm .
Ramona : Top designers and celebrities from all around the world have gathered in aspen , Colorado , to see and be seen in this glamorous mountain own .
Oliver : You re not getting nervous ...
Ramona : ( Sighs )

Liam : That s right .
Hope : Liam , I m so excited . ( Giggles )
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Hope : ( Giggles ) ( inhales sharply ) mm . ( Chuckles )
Oliver : Mr. Spencer , this plan makes me very uncomfortable .
Bill : Really ? Because I m extremely comfortable when it comes to firing people .
Oliver : Oh , no . Uh , I ll do it .
Bill : No wimping out on me .
Oliver : I understand .
Bill : I ve had enough oft wacko dragging my son into her pill - popping abyss .
Ramona : What did he say ?

### Dialogue:
Brooke : ( Breathing heavily ) Oh , my God . Taylor ?
Woman : What s happening ? Do you need help ?
Brooke : I - I - I do nt know . She was really upset , and she was having trouble breathing , and then she just-- just collapsed .
Woman : Has somebody called 911 ?
Taylor : Oh , my head . Ohh .
Brooke : There she is .
Taylor : Ow .
Brooke : Taylor ? Taylor , are you okay ? Maybe get some water .
Woman : Of course , yeah .
Taylor : No , I do nt want any water .
Brooke : Yes .
Taylor : I want to go home .
Brooke : No , you re not gon na go home . An ambulance is on its way . A doctor really needs to check you out .
Taylor : Brooke , stop it . Do nt make a big deal out of this .
Brooke : Okay . No ambulance . I ll take you home .
Taylor : No , no . I m fine . I m fine . I m a doctor . I know if I m okay , all right ? Leave me alone .
Brooke : No . ( Sighs heavily ) All right , look , I m not gon na let you drive . I ll still take you , okay ?
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Brooke : I m gon na take you straight home ... to Nick .
Taylor : ( Scoffs ) ( Sighs )
Ridge : Yeah , thanks , Thorne . I ll pick the kids up in the morning . Oh , nothing really special . Just some much - needed time alone . Yeah , you , too . And please let us return the favor for you . Okay ? Talk to you soon . Bye .
Ridge : Ah , wine , candles . All I need is Brooke .
Jackie : What are you gon na do , Nicky , if Taylor ca nt handle it ?
Nick : She will handle it .
Jackie : You do nt know that . Everything that you re describing to me points to a woman who s on a very jagged edge . Can -- can we be honest ? She has never , ever been very good at handling stress , especially when it comes to Brooke . And now you expect her to handle the fact that Brooke is the biological mother of her child ?
Nick : Well , that is something you do nt have to concern yourself with , Mother .
Jackie : Oh , yes , I do , because my grandson s well - being is at stake here . If Taylor is nt capable of taking care of him , then you need to be prepared to do something about it , because he needs a mother .
Nick : He has a mother .
Jackie : But if Brooke is out there , and she is just willing--
Nick : Let it go right there , Mother . Taylor s my wife . She is the mother of my son .
Jackie : There s only so much a person can take .
Nick : Wh - what s going on ?
Brooke : Taylor collapsed .
Jackie : What ?
Brooke : She and I were at the Insomnia and--
Taylor : I m fine . It was nothing .
Nick : What happened exactly ?
Brooke : Taylor and I were talking , and she--
Taylor : It -- it was-- it was nothing . We - we were talking . I got a little worked up , and I passed out for a couple of seconds . It -- it was nothing . It was no big deal .
Jackie : No big deal ? Tay -- Taylor , we have to get you to the hospital .
Taylor : No . No , that is not necessary , really . It was just like a mild panic attack . I ve seen them a million times . I know exactly what one is .
Jackie : Okay , well , I am gon na call Bridget , and she will come over , and she will call a doctor , and then--
Taylor : No , do not call a doctor . Do not call the hospital , and positively do not call Bridget , okay ? ( Sighs )
Taylor : Well , Brooke , thank you for the ride , although I could have gotten myself home .
Brooke : I was happy to do it .
Nick : You know , you ve got ta be exhausted . Maybe you oughta lay down , get some rest , huh ?
Taylor : Yeah , I will .
Nick : Okay .
Jackie : Come on , Ill -- Ill -- Ill help you .
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Brooke : Well ... ( sighs ) I guess I better get going . If there s anything else I could do to help--
Taylor : No , I think you ve covered just about all of the bases . Thank you .
Nick : What happened ?
Brooke : She saw us at the Insomnia , and she really flipped out . See , I tried to explain to her as nicely as I could that I was nt chasing after you , but she did nt want to hear it . She got so worked up that she was hyperventilating , and she passed out right in my arms . You know , she s not emotionally stable right now , and I m worried . You should be , too .
Nick : I appreciate the help . I m gon na head upstairs . Ill -- Ill see ya .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Jackie : ( Sighs ) ( sighs )
Jackie : It must be torment for you , but nothing compared to the torment that Taylor must be going through . I mean , carrying Brooke s baby for all those months , giving birth to a child that you share with Brooke-- I mean , every time she looks at Jack s face , she sees Brooke .
Jackie : Have you thought what might happen to Taylor if the torment is too much for her ? I mean , she s not gon na be able to be a good mother . She s not gon na be able to be a good wife . You -- your lives are gon na be hell . What s gon na happen to that poor baby ?
Jackie : ( Exhales deeply )
Taylor : ( Sniffles )
Jackie : It s going to be all right , you know . You just need to relax . That s all .
Taylor : I know . Thank you . You must think , uh , I ve lost it .
Jackie : No . I m thinking ... that you are the mother of my grandchild , and I love and support you .
Taylor : I appreciate that .
Jackie : But Taylor , I am concerned . You ve got ta take care of yourself . I mean , you have an infant . And that baby needs you to be strong . After all , you re the only mother that he has .
Taylor : Yeah , I know .
Jackie : And there is no one else who can take care of him and love him as you can . So please , sweetheart , whatever it is that s got you in this state , try to remember that .
Nick : Hey . Everything okay ?
Taylor : Is Brooke gone ?
Nick : She is . Mother , you think you could give us a minute ?
Jackie : Gone . I m gone .
Nick : How you doing ?
Taylor : Nick , I just-- I really-- I need to rest , okay ? I - I just-- I do nt want to talk right now , okay ?
Nick : All right . I ll be downstairs if you need anything . Okay .
Taylor : ( Sniffles )
Taylor : ( Sniffles ) ( crying )
Ridge : There you are . I was just about to , uh , start drinking this wonderful wine without you .
Brooke : ( Laughs ) Ridge , what s all this ?
Ridge : Oh , we re celebrating .
Brooke : We are ?
Ridge : Yeah .
Brooke : What are we celebrating ?
Ridge : My mother s recent memory of her shooting , for one .
Brooke : Ah .
Ridge : Your dad s newfound freedom , for anther . I think that s cause for celebration , do nt you ?
Brooke : Yes . Yes , I think so , too .
Ridge : I got ta tell you ...
Ridge : This has been one hell of a relief . I m very glad your dad did not shoot my mother , cause something like that can definitely put a strain on a relationship .
Jackie : Shall I take Taylor a cup ?
Nick : No , no , no , let s leave her alone for now .
Jackie : Yes , you re probably right . She seems awfully delicate .
Nick : Mother , I know what s on your mind . And you know that I do nt want to hear it .
Jackie : But you re going to . It is perfectly obvious that Taylor is not dealing with this , not well at all .
Nick : Mother .
Jackie : It is compromising her health .
Nick : Mother !
Jackie : It is compromising your son s health .
Nick : My son s health ? Jack s not in any kind of danger .
Jackie : Please . The woman passed out . She collapsed . Thank God she was in a public place . Thank God she was nt holding Jack . I mean , what happens the next time she has one of these panic attacks ? How can you be sure she s not gon na be alone with your son ? Are you really willing to take that chance ? ( Sighs ) Taylor is struggling right now to keep it together , and I pray for all your sakes that she finds a way . But it should nt be here , and it should nt be when she s taking care of my grandson . It s a recipe for disaster-- for you , for everybody , for the baby .
Nick : I do nt know what you expect me to do .
Jackie : ( Sighs ) God , I do nt know either . All I do know is that you have a little life who obviously is entirely in your care . Every decision that you make from now on has to be for him . It s about him . It s for him . You ve got to live for him . Oh , God , believe me , I know what it s like to live for a son who depends on you to make all the right choices . It s a huge responsibility . ( Sighs ) and I m just so scared right now , Nicky , that Taylor is nt capable of doing any of that . I wonder if Jack does nt need his other mother . Hate me for saying this . I wonder if he does nt need Brooke .
Ridge : You were later than I thought you d be . Something going at work ?
Brooke : No . But something did happen .
Ridge : What ? What s wrong ?
Brooke : Uh , it s Taylor and the baby .
Ridge : Oh , come on . Are we really gon na talk about Nick and his brood right now , let this nice romantic mood go to waste ?
Brooke : I do nt really want to , but this is serious , Ridge . I m really concerned about Taylor .
Ridge : What happened ?
Brooke : She saw Nick and me talking at the Insomnia , and then when Nick left , she confronted me .
Ridge : Oh , Brooke , just back up a minute . Let s , um--
Brooke : Oh , wait , wait , do nt you start . It was just a chance encounter . Nick and I were nt meeting there . I mean , you do trust me on that , do nt you ?
Ridge : Of course , I do .
Brooke : Okay . Well , that s the difference between you and Taylor , because she flew off the handle . She accused me of following him , and she told me to stay away .
Ridge : Okay , so she told you to stay away . She s been under a lot of stress lately . I mean , do nt hold-- hold that against her .
Brooke : No , I - I think it s a lot more than stress . She s really losing it . And I m really afraid for that little baby . I do nt think she should be in charge of him .
Ridge : Oh , Brooke , come on .
Brooke : Ridge , she worked herself up so much that she was hyperventilating , and she even just passed out in my arms .
Ridge : Passed out ? Oh , my God . What--
Brooke : She was going on and on about my intentions with her son , with her husband . It was awful . I mean , she just worked herself up into a tizzy . She had a meltdown .
Ridge : Is she all right now ?
Brooke : Well , we called the ambulance , and it was on its way , but she did nt want to have anything to do with that . So I drove her home , and she s okay now . She s with Nick and Jackie . Still , I m just -- I m worried . I do nt think she s ever going to be able to accept me as the biological mother of her son . I m not gon na lie to you . I m really concerned about this . I spend a lot of time in the kitchen . .
Ridge : Of course , you re concerned . I am , too . It sounds like Taylor needs a lot of help right now .
Brooke : Yes , she does .
Ridge : And she ll get it from her husband . Look , I do nt exactly trust Nick on a lot of issues , but I do know he s gon na take care of his wife . Do nt you agree ?
Brooke : Yes , I do . But the baby is--
Ridge : The baby is gon na be very loved and cared for by his family . Look , if Taylor seems like she s , uh , going through a very emotional time , which it seems like she is , I still have every confidence that Nick s gon na make sure that that baby is well taken care of . His mother s gon na help , as well , as well as Phoebe . Phoebe s been over there a couple night a week the last while .
Brooke : Oh , that s true .
Ridge : Look , I more than anyone know how strong Taylor is . This has been a very , very unusual , extraordinary time for her . But she is Jack s mother , and she s gon na love and cherish him just like she does Thomas , Steffy , Phoebe .
Brooke : You re right . I know you re right .
Ridge : Of course , I am .
Brooke : ( Giggles )
Ridge : Are nt I always ?
Brooke : Well , almost always .
Ridge : ( Laughs ) look , let s not talk about any of this anymore . Look around . I wanted this to be a very romantic night for us .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Ridge : And Hope and R.J. are at Thorne s . So ...
Brooke : So we should take advantage of it .
Ridge : Yes , we should very much take advantage of it .
Brooke : ( Laughs )
Ridge : Besides , I have something very serious I want to talk to you about .
Brooke : Hmm . What is it ?
Ridge : Making an honest man out of me .
Brooke : A wedding ?
Ridge : Yeah , we ve been planning one , right ? All this other stuff gets in the way-- my mother getting shot , your dad going to jail .
Brooke : We ve had to put things on hold for a while .
Ridge : Okay , well , we no longer have to put anything on hold anymore . All we have to do is start our future life together from this moment on .
Jackie : I m not trying to be a home wrecker , Nicky , I swear . It s just that I believe that what really bound you to Taylor was the fact that she could give you the child that you so desperately wanted .
Nick : And I love her .
Jackie : I know you love her . ( Sighs heavily ) But the fact is that Jack is not her son . He s Brooke s son . And no matter what the circumstances-- your marriage to Taylor , Brooke s relationship with Ridge-- the fact is that this child is in this world , in your lives , and you and Brooke need to deal with what that means .
Nick : I do nt want to get into this right now .
Jackie : We will get into it right now , because a child s welfare is at stake . I know you love Taylor . I know you do nt want to let her down , and that is so righteous . But now s not the time to be righteous , honey . It s the time to be selfish .
Nick : Selfish ? Mother , you just told me that I have to live for him .
Jackie : Exactly . You need to be selfish for him . He needs you . Your ultimate duty is to him .
Nick : ( Sighs )
Jackie : Taylor s trapped in a living hell right now . How fair is it to keep her trapped ? I mean , every day she faces the reality that she bore the child of a woman she despises . What kind of life is that for her ? What kind of life is that for your child ? He needs a mother who will love him and care for him unconditionally . And the only woman that can do that is Brooke .
Nick : Stop it , Mother . Stop it .
Jackie : Nicky , Brooke is your passion . She is your ultimate partner . I m begging you-- I m begging you , please , go after her now before she commits to Ridge again . If you do nt do this for you , then do it for your son , because he needs her , Nicky . He needs her . And deep down , I know you need her , too .

Eve : Hi , Eric .
Paige : Hey , you .
JJ : Hey .
Paige : [ Giggles ] I changed my mind about going to the hospital today . So what should we do ?
Theresa : So you think getting me pregnant is the stupidest thing you ve ever done .
Brady : Theresa--
Theresa : No , that s nice . Nice , Brady . That s really nice . You know what ? I ll tell you what . Here s something that will just make your day . Yes , you helped make this baby , but since that just seems like such an awful concept for you , suck on this -- you re not needed anymore , so you can just go now . And you know what ? Go to hell .
Hope : [ Sighs ]
Aiden : Interesting reading ? Guess I deluded myself into thinking it was nt on the internet anymore , but , uh , hey , there it is . Four years ago , everyone in Portland thought I d murdered my wife in cold blood .
JJ : Hey , uh , I m just returning the coat I borrowed last night .
Daniel : I did nt know you had it . Absolutely . It has to be JJ s . I think he ll need that back .
JJ : I thought you were , uh , watching Daniel operate today . What happened ?
Paige : Oh ... I see . Uh ... I decided Daniel s not who ... Dr. Jonas does nt need me hanging around him all the time .
JJ : Well , if it bothered him , he would nt have said that it was okay .
Paige : Uh , so what d you have planned for today ?
Eve : Come in . You know , I would offer you something , but , actually , I am on my way out .
Eric : All right , well , I wo nt keep you . I just wanted to stop by and show you the retouched photo you emailed me about .
Eve : Oh , yeah . Yeah , yeah , yeah .
Eric : Plus , I m concerned about you . After I saw you in the square , well , you--
Eve : Yeah , you thought I was headed for a really bad night ? I was . It was .
Eric : Listen , I hope I did nt make things worse .
Eve : No . No , none of last night was on you , really , trust me .
Eric : You still seem upset . Is there anything I can do to help ?
Brady : Theresa--
Theresa : Do nt touch me .
Brady : Okay . Just listen to me . I m sorry you heard me say that . All right ? I m -- this whole thing has got me frustrated , and I m angry about it , and I dont-- I was just blowing off some steam , and if I could take that remark back , I would .
Theresa : I bet there s a lot of things you wish you could take back .
Brady : Look , if you re -- if you re pregnant--
Theresa : I am . Oh , but wait . You do nt have to take my word for it anymore or pretend that it is nt happening . So did they run the test ? Am I pregnant ?
Ben : Great for you to stop by . I mean , I m always happy to see you , but I just figured you d be working at the hospital today .
Abigail : Uh , I was just there part - time today . I start full - time tomorrow .
Ben : Okay . So that s great . It looks like we both have something to celebrate , then-- my apartment , your job .
Abigail : You really feel that way , Ben ? I mean , you re not still upset that Chad was the one who--
Ben : No , look , how you got the job does nt matter . All that matters is you re happy . I want that more than anything .
Daniel : Hey , mom .
Maggie : Hey , yourself .
Daniel : What ?
Maggie : If you were nt in your own home , I d say you look at little lost .
JJ : Do you want to go grab some coffee at the club ?
Paige : I d rather stay here .
JJ : Oh . Right .
Paige : Are you worried about something ?
JJ : No . Nah .
Paige : You know , I meant what I said yesterday ... about wanting to start fresh . In fact ... it s , uh -- it s too early for a 2015 calendar , so I made one that starts with this month .
JJ : Wow . [ Laughs ]
Paige : Lots of old memories .
JJ : This is awesome .
Eve : Actually , I d really like to forget about every single second of the last 24 hours .
Eric : That bad ? You know , sometimes talking about it helps--
Eve : Oh , no , no , no . Mm - mm . I do nt want to bore you with the drama of my life . But , uh , for your information , it started when I found out I could nt have my throat surgery . It turns out , what I need done is not possible and chances of me ever having a singing career are done .
Eric : I m sorry . I know how much it meant to you .
Eve : Yeah ... pretty much everything . That s actually why I was pounding down those drinks last night . Could I ask you a favor ?
Eric : Yeah , sure .
Eve : Well , would you mind keeping the news about my surgery under your hat for a little while ?
Eric : Of course .
Eve : Thanks . It s just -- I have nt told my sister yet , and I know that you were looking for her yesterday and ...
Eric : I was , yeah .
Eve : Yeah , well , you know , she s having some new drama in her life . I just -- I just ca nt deal with it right now , okay ?
Kayla : Theresa , I m very sorry ... but the test results wo nt be back for another hour .
Theresa : An hour ? [ Scoffs ] Man .
Kayla : Yeah , so , listen , why do nt the two of you go to the pub and get something to eat ? And as soon as the test results come back , I will take my break , and I will deliver them to you personally .
Theresa : Thank you . I ll be there . I actually want to know the truth . I ca nt wait .
Kayla : Okay . I will see you then .
Brady : Thanks . Hey , hey , hey . What do you say we do a reboot and , uh ... start again ?
Aiden : I did nt kill Meredith , hope . But you do nt have to take my word for it . It s all there ... online . Enjoy .
Hope : Aiden .
Aiden : Oh , I almost forgot . I brought these for you ... for being a bit of a jerk earlier in the square . I m sorry .
Hope : Please do nt go . Do nt leave .
Aiden : Okay .
Hope : First , thank you for these . But , Aiden , you need to understand--
Aiden : Hope , I do . I - I ... I understand . Look , if you wanted to run an online search on me , you would ve done it a long time ago . Quite frankly , I m surprised you waited this long .
Hope : I know you re a very private person . I wanted to respect that .
Aiden : Well , thank you . But if you had nt seen me with Bree Tjaden or completely overreact with Nicole , you probably still would nt know , so ...
Hope : Probably .
Aiden : Now you know why I thought Nicole s idea was nt so hot . My past as entertainment-- quite a concept , considering . Well , I ll go , let you get back to your reading .
Hope : No , wait . I do nt want to read about it .
Aiden : Seriously ? You d rather stay in the dark ?
Hope : No . I want you to tell me what happened .
Abigail : The reason I came here was because I wanted to talk to you about something , something important . When you were upset that Chad was the one who got me my job back ... I should have paid more attention to the way that made you feel , Ben .
Ben : Well , I did nt even give you a chance . I just started mouthing off , making it all about me , you know , and ... sometimes it just really hits home . I ve got to be the dumbest guy alive .
Abigail : What ?
Ben : I m serious . Abigail , for the first time in my life , I have somebody who is smart and beautiful and just totally special . And when something pops up that makes me feel like I could lose that ... lose you ... I go crazy .
Abigail : Well , I would probably do the same thing ... because I do nt want to lose you either .
Ben : Really ?
Abigail : Yes , really . Yes , I m with someone who is so amazing , who cares about me , just me ... who is nt trying to manipulate things or play some kind of angle . You make me really happy , Ben . And I want to be with you .
JJ : This is so cool . It must have been a ton of work .
Paige : Not really . Well , a little bit , yeah . But I did nt even think about it . All I thought about was you . I love it when we re together . It just feels so perfect .
Eric : No worries . I ve already forgotten what you said .
Eve : Thank you .
Eric : So you know what ? I ll email you when I m done with those photos .
Eve : Okay . Thanks , Eric , so much .
Eric : You re welcome .
Brady : [ Sighs ] You sure you do nt want something to eat ?
Theresa : I m not hungry ... slightly nauseated , actually , although it was worse this morning . I took one sip of coffee . I had to dump the rest down the drain . Look , uh ... in case you re wondering ... after Kayla runs the pregnancy test and proves that I m pregnant , I ll have her run a paternity test as well .
Brady : I ... I m sure that we do nt need that .
Maggie : When does Parker get home ?
Daniel : Um , a couple more days , yeah .
Maggie : Oh , I miss that little guy .
Daniel : Yeah .
Maggie : I bought him a couple of action figures at the toy store yesterday .
Daniel : Mom , he has too many toys already . He does nt need--
Maggie : You know what ? You are nt trying to talk me out of spoiling my grandson , are you ? Please . Cause it wo nt work .
Daniel : Okay .
Maggie : [ Laughs ]
Daniel : Okay .
Maggie : Honey , is something else bothering you ? You just seem all -- I do nt know -- out of focus today .
Daniel : Well , you might as well know . It s , um ... it s about Jennifer .
Aiden : There s no way to sugarcoat it . Meredith and I were ... well , unhappy would nt even begin to describe it . But we loved chase . So we both worked hard to keep the marriage going . Maybe we should nt have . I - I do nt know . My God , the fights , you know ... neighbors on both sides of us in Portland , our second home in Puget sound , they could tell you how we fought ... every day ... just constantly talking about divorce . You know , never with each other , always with , you know , friend , co - worker , anyone who d listen , but ... it always came back to chase . Neither one of us wanted to lose our son , you know , or break his heart by splitting up . You understand that all too well , I know .
Hope : I do .
Aiden : So we stuck it out ... although it became increasingly difficult . I guess we all find different ways , you know , to numb the pain . For Meredith , it was alcohol ... which is why I rarely touch the stuff . I just -- I remember how it affected her , and I just became intolerant of that kind of behavior in other people , you know , this ... myself too .
Hope : Right .
Aiden : And then ... at some point ... [ Sighs ] I m not sure ... where or why ... although I can speculate why , of course ... she , um ... she had a gun . And , uh , you know , occasionally when she was drinking , she would just make these threats . You know , she was gon na take chase away . She was gon na use the gun on me . She was gon na use the gun on herself . The thing is , the ... the gun was never loaded ... until that night . My budget used to be a real downer .
Aiden : Um ... we were on the sound that weekend . Chase was sleeping . So Meredith and I -- you know , we -- we got into it . I do nt remember what started it all . I do remember that ... the more we fought , the more she would be drinking and the angrier that made me . But , you know , she ... she would nt stop . Just kept yelling at me , you know ... and accused me of being a bad father , bad husband , bad person . Of course , the things I said to her , you know , uh ... beyond cruel . It was ugly . To say that to a woman I once loved ... she went into the bedroom ... she came out . She had a gun , you know . She started saying she was-- she was gon na kill herself . This is something she had said before to me , you know , and , uh ... but this time she started loading it in front of me . So I had to believe her . She raised the gun to her head ... and I panicked , you know . I - I - I did nt know what to do . I just said ... do nt . You ll wake chase . That s what I said . She had a gun to her head , and I said , do nt do it . You ll wake our son . But the thing is ... it stopped her . It stopped her ... cause she ... [ Exhales deeply ] She loved our son . She did . She did , but she-- she -- she hated me more ... because she put the gun back up to her head . Now , this time , I jumped up to grab the gun , but she pulled back . She pulled the trigger . She shot herself .
Brady : I think the key to this whole thing is to take it one step at a time .
Theresa : Right .
Brady : Although ... if you re pregnant , I assume you know marriage is not an option .
Theresa : Trust me , I m still enough of a catholic to promise you this -- no abortion .
Brady : If you tried , I d fight you .
Theresa : So ... you want a child ?
Brady : Yeah . I always have .
Theresa : Just not like this , right ?
Daniel : Mom ... I know Jennifer means the world to you . And you have always been rooting for us to make a go of it .
Maggie : Oh .
Daniel : But before she went down to see her mom for a few weeks , we had a talk . And we were both very frank , open , brutally honest . And I ll have to admit , it is hard to accept . And I know it s gon na be hard for you to accept too , but we decided ... it s -- it s over .
Maggie : Daniel , no . Come on , now , you ca nt give up . You got to give it a try .
Daniel : I m sorry .
Maggie : Oh , honey , I m sorry too . I m sorry too .
Paige : What s wrong ?
JJ : Nothing , nothing . I just , uh -- I just got to check this real quick , and I might have to make a call , but I ll be right back .
Paige : Well , ca nt you just--
Paige : Uh , I ll get it .
Brady : Being a father is something I ve thought about a lot . I love kids . [ Chuckles ] It s just -- the timing has never been , uh ...
Theresa : Do nt even think about trying to take my baby away from me .
Brady : I would nt do that . Listen , I would never do that , okay ? If you are pregnant , we will find a way . We will figure out a way to raise this child . But we ll do it together .
Daniel : I ll tell you , one of the things I will not regret , ever ... knowing Jennifer ... loving her . I mean , I think anyone who s lucky enough to have Jennifer Horton in their life ... is better for it .
Maggie : I agree .
Daniel : Right ?
Maggie : Yeah .
Daniel : And now I just-- I have got to focus on what I do have , what blessings I do have . I have -- I got Melanie . I have you .
Maggie : [ Chuckles ]
Daniel : And I got that little man . I got my man ... Parker . I - I got a family .
Maggie : Oh .
Daniel : Right ?
Maggie : Yes , you bet you do .
Daniel : Oh , and I would nt trade it for anything . Mm - mm .
Maggie : Sounds like you re gon na be all right .
Daniel : Eventually , yeah . [ Chuckles ] Yeah .
Maggie : [ Chuckles ] Daniel ?
Daniel : Hmm ?
Maggie : What is that ? That , next to the toy ?
Daniel : Oh .
Maggie : I do nt think I ve ever seen you with a money clip .
Daniel : No , no , that s JJ s . He borrowed my coat , and it was in the pocket .
Maggie : Oh .
Daniel : Probably-- well , I guess I should probably drop by the house and ... and give it to him .
JJ : Is there somebody at the door ?
Eve : Hello , uh , JJ .
JJ : Hello , ms . Larson .
Eve : I , uh , want to talk to your mom . Is she around ?
JJ : No . Uh , she , uh -- she s visiting her mom , but , uh ... she probably wo nt be back for , like , a week or so .
Eve : Oh , well , that s too bad , cause I just wanted to , you know , talk to her about something , but ...
Paige : You came all the way over here just to talk to her ?
Eve : No , actually , I did nt . That stupid lawyer sent her royalty check to us by mistake , so ... here , I ve got it right here . I wanted to give it to her in person , but will you make sure that she gets it ?
JJ : Sure .
Eve : Okay . Great . Hey .
Paige : Huh ?
Eve : Why did you casually blow off your internship today , hmm ? Paige , I asked you a question , sweetheart .
Paige : This has got to be , like , fate .
Eve : Excuse me ?
Paige : It is ! It was meant to be ! Mom , remember how I said I wanted us to have a fresh start ? Well , I was actually just about to tell JJ how good things were , you know , with you and me . And I want it to be that way for all of us .
Eve : Well , honey , that s -- that s very -- that s a really wonderful goal . But it s actually a little too idealistic , actually , because--
Paige : No , mom , I m serious . It can work , I mean , if we try , if we make an effort . I really think the problem is , is you and JJ just have nt gotten to know each other well enough . Here , okay ... I think we should all go out and talk it through . It can work . I know it can . Please ?
Aiden : Thank God chase was a heavy sleeper . Guess he had to be , you know . I mean , every time he went to bed , Meredith and I would start with the screaming and the yelling and ... although , this time , he woke up ... from the sirens . He was crying , you know , as ... as if he already knew .
Hope : Did he see her ? Did he see his mom ?
Aiden : No . No , when the emergency crews got there , I ... was holding him . It s all I could do , is just hold him . Finally , my sister got there . She ... she took him away , so then the police could interview me and ... deal with Meredith s body . They let me go the next morning . There were no -- no charges ... although ...
Hope : Though , what ?
Aiden : [ Sighs ] Well , when the police first got there , things looked pretty bad for me . Um ... look , I m an attorney . I know exactly what not to do . I did nt protect myself ... and I should have ... for chase s sake , you know , but I - I - I could nt help myself . You know , yeah ... I tried stopping the bleeding . Then I quickly realized it was hopeless , you know . So I ... I was holding Meredith , and I took the gun from her hand , and I put it down . Now my prints were all over it . [ Chuckles ] But I just kept thinking-- you know , I just kept thinking that I didnt--
Hope : You did nt want her to die alone .
Aiden : You know , she ... she looked up at me ... and her last words to me , to anyone ... I hate you . [ Scoffs ] I just kept holding her and ... saw the light go out . Just sitting there , thinking ... this is what it s come to . You know , it s ... it s sad . I feel like part of me died too .
Ben : I m going to make you a promise . I promise you that I am not going to let anyone or anything ruin this for us .
Paige : Okay , the main thing is we need to put everything that s happened in the past and leave it there , right ?
Eve : Absolutely .
JJ : Definitely .
Paige : Okay , see , we already agree on one thing . This is so good ! We re gon na find a way to-- oh !
Eve : Oh , honey ! Oh , my gosh , did it burn you ?
Paige : It s all over my blouse . I m such a klutz .
Eve : Well , you know what ? Take this into the bathroom and wet it with some cold water and just sponge it out , and then I ll take care of it when we get home , okay , sweetheart ?
Paige : I ll be right back . Actually , mom , can you come with me ? I want to make sure I do it right .
Eve : Oh , uh , sure . Sure , sure , sure . Come on .
JJ : Eve s not going to say anything . I m not going to say anything . It ll be fine .
Daniel : Hey . Just the guy I was looking for .
Aiden : Hope , you , uh ... you are the only person I ve ever talked to about what happened those last few minutes . Aside from the police , you re about the only person I ve ever talked to about any of it .
Hope : It s a terribly painful memory to live with .
Aiden : It is ... mostly because my son , you know . Because Meredith and I-- we just would nt , or we could nt , stop the constant battles ... it cost chase his mother .
Hope : How much does chase remember about that night ?
Aiden : Oh ... very little . We moved a couple times , so there was no one around to tell him .
Hope : Has he asked any questions ?
Aiden : No . Never . I m not sure if it s because he does nt know the right questions to ask or ... he knows that the answers would be too hard for me to give . Maybe he s the brave one , you know . Maybe he s the one protecting me all these years . He s such a ... he s such a good boy , you know . I just do nt know how I could let him down like that , you know . I m not gon na let that happen . [ Sobbing ]
Brady : You know , Daniel and Chloe are doing a pretty good job with Parker . You know , we could use what they do as a guide .
Theresa : Yeah , but Parker s not in school yet .
Brady : Right , I know , just nursery school , but ... you re right -- things are still flexible . Once he hits kindergarten , there has to be one primary parent .
Theresa : Yeah , and there s the whole problem with work too .
Brady : Yeah , but I know-- I mean , I know Maggie and Victor , they ll ...
Theresa : The whole free world s going to be in this kid s life , right ?
Brady : Do nt worry about that . I wo nt let anybody push you out , Theresa , okay ? We ll do this as a team .
Theresa : Here s Kayla . So , uh ... how far along am I ?
Kayla : Theresa , maybe we should talk one - on - one .
Theresa : No way . No . Brady and I are together on this all the way . We re not going to keep any secrets about our child .
Kayla : There is no child .
Theresa : What ?
Kayla : You re not pregnant .
Daniel : You , uh -- you with someone ?
JJ : Paige and her mom .
Daniel : And her mom ?
JJ : Yeah .
Daniel : Yeah , you think that s a good thing ?
JJ : I do nt know . Paige wanted to do it . She thinks that we can , like , start over and , you know , be friends or something .
Daniel : Well , good luck with that . Well , in case they stick you with the bill , I brought you a little something . When you were wearing my coat last night , you left this in the pocket .
Aiden : Look , I , uh-- I should ve told you about all this when we first started getting serious . And I mean this , okay ? If you want to walk away and not look back , I will not blame you .
Hope : No . I m not going anywhere .
Aiden : Thank you . Thank you for being someone I can trust ... to listen , care . For so long , it s felt like life has been pressing in on me , like I just could nt breathe . [ Sighs ] Now I can . Now I can . I love you , Hope . I want to be with you ... now .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Di : You want me to tell them I m not Dixie ?
Tad : That s right . And I do nt care who you tell first , last , or in the middle . I do nt care if you tell them as a group or one at a time , but you are going to tell them .
Di : How ? How can I ?
Tad : You look them in the eye , tell them you re family , but not the family they hoped for , not the family they ve been thanking God for bringing back from the dead . You go in there and tell J.R. you re not his mother . Go find Palmer and tell him you re not the niece he s always cherished . You tell everybody in Pine Valley that s ever loved Dixie that she s still dead and gone .
J.R. : Well , that brings back memories .
Jamie : You , me , and a plate of crumbs .
J.R. : I do nt think Mom s cookies ever cooled off . We always cleaned them up . You remember that time you were 12 , and we were scarfing down some cookies and you asked me to teach you how to back the car out of the garage ?
Jamie : Yeah , we never would ve gotten busted if it were nt for all the chocolate I left on the steering wheel .
J.R. : No , I think it was the scrape on the driver s side that did it .
Jamie : That was so cool . That was almost worth getting grounded for a month .
J.R. : Why did you and Babe really split up ?
Jamie : Why do you care ?
Erica : Greg Madden took advantage of you , and I wo nt let him get away with it !
Kendall : No , Mother , Greg helped us and it s done .
Erica : He should not be allowed to prey on other women .
Kendall : He is one of the most respected doctors in his field . He did nt force me into having this baby . He just performed the mechanics .
Greenlee : She could nt have been in better hands .
Erica : She should nt have been in his hands at all , Greenlee . It s irresponsible , it s --
Kendall : Mother , Mother , if you reject my choice , then you reject me .
Erica : You were influenced by him in a state of grief .
Kendall : No , I was nt . This is my choice , my responsibility . Now , I m pregnant , there s not a damn thing you can do about it . So either get onboard or get out of my life .
Reggie : So , Lily , what are you working on ?
Lily : It s my speech for Ryan s memorial service . But I ll save it if you want me to . You can get online .
Reggie : No , no , no , no . Ryan s way more important .
Lily : It s all right . I just need to think a little harder . I want it to be just perfect . What are you going to say about Ryan ?
Reggie : Oh , I ll leave the public speaking up to you .
Jack : Hey , kids , you better get dressed . We do nt want to be late for Ryan s service .
Lily : Hey , Dad , why are you glad that Ryan s dead ?
Ryan : Oh , my God .
Ryan : Oh , Greenlee .
Jack : Sweetheart , I m not glad that Ryan died . Why -- why would you think that ?
Lily : Because once I heard you say that you were glad that Greenlee got rid of Ryan . Ryan died , that s how she got rid of him , so that means you re glad he died , right ?
Jack : Sweetheart , I had some issues with Ryan . He made Greenlee feel bad .
Lily : But they loved each other .
Jack : Yes , yes , they did , but Ryan was -- he was a very troubled man , and he did some things to Greenlee that were very hurtful . And if somebody hurts my children , I do something about it . And I guess , to be honest , if that person was no longer in my child s life , I would be relieved .
Lily : If Ryan hurt Greenlee so much , why do her eyes cry when she thinks no one s looking ?
Jack : Well , Greenlee loved Ryan very , very much , and I understand her grief , but parents are very protective of their children . You see , sweetheart , we ve been around longer , we ve seen more . Hopefully we know more . Sometimes a parent will see something that s hurting a child , but the child does nt see it at all .
Erica : Greg Madden took advantage of both of you . You are both still grieving for Ryan . How could you possibly make an informed and rational decision ?
Kendall : Mother , we re not clueless idiots . We know exactly what we ve gotten into .
Erica : Courtesy of Greg Madden . You re both sensitive , you re both passionate women , and he -- he played on that and on your grief .
Greenlee : But what you re saying does nt even make sense . Kendall and I would be doing this with or without Madden .
Erica : Madden is at the forefront of his field . He needs to stay there , so whatever keeps him in the headlines -- Kendall , you re just another -- another --
Kendall : What , notch in his stirrups ? Please , Mother , this is ridiculous .
Erica : Look , Kendall , I know that you ve been through a lot , and I just want what s best for you . This is not it .
Kendall : Ok , Mother , I know I ve screwed up many times . I get that . No , but not this time . This is not a mistake . This was not momentary insanity . I did nt do it to spite you . I did it for my friend , because I love her , and she deserves this baby .
Erica : Well , of course , Greenlee deserves this baby . That s never been a question . It s just that there are so many other options for Greenlee . There are any other number of surrogates out there .
Greenlee : I knew she d make this my fault .
Kendall : All right , listen , Mother , this is my body . My body . I will do what I want , when I want . For you to slam on the doctor who helped me is -- it s vindictive .
Greenlee : Do nt forget pointless .
Erica : Of course , it s your body . Of course , you have a choice , and of course , I respect it . I do , and I will . And as angry as I am at Greg Madden , I will certainly be as supportive of you as I can .
Kendall : Nine months of snide remarks ? No , thank you , I ll pass .
Erica : No , Kendall , you have my word . I will be there in whatever capacity you need me to be . But if you want me to say that I think you ve done the right thing , I ca nt .
Greenlee : I d settle for you not saying anything at all . Stay out of it , let us have our baby in peace .
Erica : Peace ? Yes , peace . That s the ticket . Look , we are all very upset . This is a very emotional subject . This is a very emotional day . I mean , we really should be just focusing on Ryan s memorial service .
Greenlee : Do nt bother , Erica . If you ca nt be happy for the two of us having Ryan s baby , I do nt want you at his service .
Di : How can you do this ? How can you force me to tell them the truth ?
Tad : I ca nt force you to do anything . This is nt some kind of punishment . I m just telling you if you really love this family , and you want to be a part of it , the only way you can do that is by dropping your lie .
Di : I ca nt watch their hearts break .
Tad : Then close your eyes , but you re going to do this .
Di : J.R. already lost his mother once . How can I tell him ? You know , how can I watch him grieve all over again ?
Tad : You may not get the chance to watch it .
Di : Ok , I know I did this all wrong --
Di : But , Tad , I love this family . I do . I love this life . I would never do anything to hurt any of you .
Tad : It s a little too late to say something like that . You really love everybody so damn much , and you want to hang on to that ? The only way you can do it is with the truth , and the truth is going to come from you .
Di : No , you know what , there must be some way we can spare them .
Tad : Not that I can think of . If you want to dance at Little Adam s wedding , you re going to do it as his great - aunt , not as Dixie .
Di : It s going to kill them . Is that what you really want ?
Jamie : Come on . You want an answer , I want an answer . What s the big deal why Babe and I split ?
J.R. : I m just curious .
Jamie : You did everything you could to make it happen .
J.R. : Did you ever think that I was looking out for you ?
Jamie : That must be the sugar talking , because I really do nt remember you looking out for me .
J.R. : All right , you know what ? The Babe thing was about Phoebe s will . Opportunities like that do nt kick down your door every day . I wanted to make sure that it did nt slip away .
Jamie : That is such BS . You were coming at me way before the will . Babe and I wanted an apartment , you bought the entire building . You made sure that I got kicked out of PVU , blackballed from any university within driving distance . You made sure I could nt work at the hospital or anywhere else for that matter .
J.R. : But look at you now ! You know , rising medical star , brilliant hands . Think of all the grateful female patients you re going to have in the future .
Jamie : What , am I supposed to thank you ? You targeted Babe and me for destruction from the beginning . It had nothing to do with helping me get into med school . Something else was going on .
J.R. : All right , maybe there was that old hate thing .
Jamie : Because I had something of yours you could nt have anymore ? Is that it ? Or do you still have a thing for Babe ?
J.R. : You think I still want Babe ? You re giving her way too much credit .
Jamie : You loved her once .
J.R. : I used to love a stuffed toy named Boo - boo a lot more . I got over it .
Jamie : Then why come after us so hard ? Why not let us have a chance ?
J.R. : Oh , easy -- punishment . You ganged up with my wife and lied to me . You told me that my son was dead , so you could raise him all your own , teach him to call you Daddy , while I had to picture my newborn son drowning in a river . You did that to your own brother . Do nt you think that s enough for a man to want payback ? You know , I do nt really give a damn , but at least Babe made an attempt to apologize . But not you , not my brother . You ca nt do it , can you ? I just keep getting the same self - righteous crud , how I m the big bad monster , and you had no other choice .
Jamie : I did nt see any other way .
J.R. : Oh , would you shut up ? I ve heard your excuses a thousand times . It does nt change a thing . You know what ? Obviously my mom s working way too hard trying to get us back together . Even she gets that I ll never forgive you for what you did .
Di : J.R. has come so far . Jamie , too .
Tad : Do nt tell me about J.R. or Jamie . I do nt want to watch anybody get hurt . I m telling you , this is the only way out .
Di : There s finally real hope for this family , Tad . If I just -- if I throw the truth at them , J.R. -- I do nt know , he might not ever get over it , and all the things I d hoped for him are just going to go up in flames . He s going to shut himself off completely , cement himself into Adam s mold , and it ll be my fault . Ca nt we just wait a little bit , Tad ?
Tad : For what ? Nothing is going to change . I know who you are . I ca nt not know . I ca nt just forget I found out . If I let you slide on this , every single time I talk to J.R. or Jamie or Brooke or Palmer , I ll be living your lie . So will they .
Di : But if everyone s content , why ca nt we --
Tad : Then why ca nt we just what ? Just let it slide , keep on keeping on ? Do nt think I have nt considered it , and not for your sake , for theirs . My sons are so happy you re back in their life , maybe someday they ll be able to share a pizza without wanting to kill each other , but it does nt change anything . All the feel - good moments in the world do nt change one damn thing -- it s a lie . You ca nt live out the rest of your life inside this little charade . You got to tell the truth , take what you can get . You brought a lot to this family . Maybe , with luck , someday they ll be able to forgive you .
Di : What about you ?
Tad : If my boys can accept it , get past this , I wo nt try to turn them against you .
Di : Ok , Tad , I ve never thought of myself as a coward , but this -- I do nt know if I can tell them this .
Tad : Di , if you do nt , I will .
Lily : But Greenlee is a grown - up . She s not a child like Reggie and me .
Jack : That s true . Greenlee does choose what she will or will not allow in her life , but if she makes a choice that I think is not so good --
Lily : That s when you interfere .
Reggie : No , Lily , that s kind of the wrong word .
Lily : Well , that s the word that Greenlee always uses .
Jack : Yes , I m sure that s true . Lily , I will always do everything I can to keep you safe no matter how old you are .
Lily : Even if Greenlee does nt want you all up in her business ?
Jack : Even then . Protecting my children is my number one priority , and Erica feels exactly the same way .
Erica : Look , I have my reservations about Kendall carrying this baby , but it has nothing to do with Ryan .
Greenlee : I have reservations , too -- about you , and it s got everything to do with Ryan . I do nt want her there .
Kendall : Maybe it s better that you do nt come .
Erica : This is my punishment , because I do nt agree with you ?
Kendall : You ve upset Greenlee enough .
Erica : What kind of a mother would I be if I was nt honest with you ?
Greenlee : The kind that stayed out of our way .
Kendall : Today is nt about you , Mom , it s about Greenlee .
Erica : And Ryan . You know I love Ryan . I owe him my life . I m going there to honor and support him for all the love and support that he has given me and so many others , and you ca nt stop me . Ok , fine , I will not go after Greg Madden . Even though he certainly deserves it , but I wo nt go after him . Happy ?
Kendall : Ok , absolutely no smear campaign , not even one comment ?
Erica : Not a word .
Kendall : Ok . Good .
Greenlee : If you re such a fan of my husband , if you want to honor him , tell us that we re doing the right thing by having his baby .
Erica : Greenlee , I ca nt do that , because I do nt feel that way .
Greenlee : Then do nt come to his memorial service . We re going to celebrate his life , and this baby is a part of that life . You there professing to love him and hating this ? It would make me sick .
Erica : Val , can you come in here , please ?
Val : What do you need , Erica ?
Erica : Has Tad Martin gotten back to us about Dr. Madden ?
Val : Not yet , but I ve been doing extensive research on his life and career .
Erica : Good . You keep on that , full steam ahead . But , Val , this has to be done very , very quietly , very privately , as quietly as possible .
Val : I m on top of it .
Erica : Val ? Kendall and Greenlee absolutely can not know anything about this .
Di : Ok , what do I say ? How do I even begin ?
Tad : I do nt know , start at the beginning . Why not tell them exactly what you told me -- that you were in danger , you were scared , you saw a chance to become somebody else , and you took it .
Di : I -- you know , I did not just play Dixie . I -- I came to care about the people she cared about , love the life that she loved .
Tad : All right , so tell them that . Your feelings are what made you realize that the lie was so wrong .
Di : Oh .
Tad : You realized the Dixie that they loved would never do something like this , so you decided to make things right and hope for the best . Look , you re -- you are family , you re not a stranger . Maybe that ll count for something .
Di : Tad , we ca nt do this . I ca nt do it . I ca nt , it ll gut them .
Tad : You ca nt ?
Di : And me ? Me ? I mean , I might as well have died in Garret s apartment if they hate me or reject me . I ca nt ! I ca nt do this !
Tad : You mean you wo nt . You re scared , so you do nt feel like it . Well , you re a thief , a liar . You stole Dixie s life , a sacred memory , and you re going to make things right whether you feel like it or not .
Jamie : All right , say I do a mea culpa , confess all my sins . You ll slam me over the head with it for the rest of my life . It s not much incentive to apologize .
J.R. : Is nt confession good for the soul ?
Jamie : Give you more stick to beat me with ? Babe and I had our reasons for taking Little A. You were a maniac . You were nt going to stop at anything . And how many times did you attack me ? Have you seen the scar on the back of my head ?
J.R. : Oh , here we go -- justifying St. Jamie s choices .
Jamie : I m not saying what we did was right . It was nt . Damn , even admitting that just gives you more ammo , all locked and loaded to come after me some more .
J.R. : You know , I hate to break it to you , but I ve got better things to do . I m over it .
Jamie : You re just going to drop all the craziness just like that ? Pack up the payback ?
J.R. : You want me to say it again ?
Jamie : This for real , or is it just a welcome - home dance for Dixie ? Tell you what -- you bring back the J.R. I know , bring back my brother , and I ll tell him I m sorry .
Jack : So , sweetheart , do you understand ? I was never glad that Ryan died .
Lily : I think so , Dad .
Jack : Well , I hope so . Now , what do you say we get ready so we re not late , huh ?
Lily : Well , it ll take me 23 minutes to get ready , unless Reggie gets to the bathroom first . Then I ll take a little longer .
Reggie : I do nt hog the bathroom .
Lily : No , just the mirror . You know , I think I m going to wear my black dress with the purple flowers . Ryan liked that one a lot .
Jack : Well , I think that s a great idea .
Reggie : Dad , what s up with that ? Did Ryan do something to Greenlee ? There s no denial there .
Jack : There s no confirmation either , my friend .
Reggie : Something went down . That s why you wanted Ryan out of Greenlee s life .
Jack : Yeah , I wanted Ryan as far away from Greenlee as possible , but not like this , never like this , ok ?
Reggie : Well , he s lucky I did nt know about it , because I would ve --
Jack : Hey , Reggie , Reggie , it s in the past , ok ? Right now what we need to do is go give Greenlee a hug , let her know we love her , all right ?
Greenlee : You do nt really think that Erica s just going to drop her vendetta against Madden , do you ?
Kendall : She said she would .
Greenlee : Well , you do nt believe her either . I mean , the woman s like a moray eel -- she sinks her teeth into something , and you have to harpoon her to make her stop .
Kendall : We were very clear about how we felt , and I m sure she ll respect that .
Greenlee : Mm - hmm .
Kendall : Well , at least she wo nt do a complete hatchet job on Madden . I mean , how can she possibly find out anything , if there even is anything to find out ? What s the matter ?
Greenlee : Someone s been here .
Kendall : What do you mean ? What , a good someone or a bad someone ?
Greenlee : Someone s been here .
Kendall : What are you -- what are you talking about ? Greenlee , what is going on ? What --
Greenlee : Oh , my God !
Kendall : Greenlee , what ?
Kendall : What ? What is it ?
Greenlee : Look . Someone s been in here .
Kendall : Oh . Ok , so the maid did nt make the bed perfect . You scared the hell out of me .
Greenlee : No , the maid does nt come in here . I told her not to .
Kendall : What is this ?
Greenlee : My favorite pictures of Ryan .
Kendall : It s more like every picture you ever took of him .
Greenlee : Yeah , well , it s the only way I can fall asleep at night . When I look at these pictures of Ryan so happy and strong , I remember how good it was . Someone s definitely been in here .
Kendall : Is anything missing ?
Greenlee : Does nt seem to be , but things are moved . What if he s still in here ?
Kendall : Well , if this did nt scare whomever it was away --
Greenlee : This is totally creepy .
Kendall : I know . Creepy is nt really the word . It s more like intense .
Greenlee : You got a problem with it ?
Kendall : No , no , I actually think it s -- it s very sweet . But do nt you think maybe you should take some of these down , make some room for Ryan , Jr. or little Greenlee ?
Greenlee : You re right . My imagination .
Kendall : Yes , it s definitely in overdrive . Now , if you do nt stop looking for this mystery intruder , we re going to be late for the service .
Greenlee : Ok , I ll just be a second .
Kendall : Greenlee , I get how much you loved Ryan , but all of these pictures and souvenirs on the wall -- is nt it -- is nt that really not a good way to move on ?
Greenlee : Move on ? To what ?
Kendall : Well , I know someone else does nt appeal to you right now , but someday .
Greenlee : I have enough someones in my life -- you , this baby , my family .
Kendall : No , I mean like a flowers - and - champagne someone . You know , romance ? Love ?
Greenlee : I ll buy myself flowers and champagne .
Kendall : So what are you going to do ? You just going to sit around here and shut yourself down and collect dust like these pictures ?
Greenlee : No . But I ve got the greatest love of all coming -- this baby . Once I hold him or her and watch him grow -- I ca nt imagine a fuller life .
Kendall : Ok , I m all for a fuller life . I just thought maybe it would accompany you with someone special .
Greenlee : Not going to happen . Stop sounding like my dad .
Jack : Hey , you . About to give you a call , remind you of Ryan s memorial service .
Erica : As if I would forget .
Jack : What s wrong ?
Erica : Nothing , everything s fine .
Jack : Are you sure ?
Erica : Look , let s have this conversation after the service , ok ?
Jack : Sure . Look , I know this is going to be a hard day for everyone , but I am glad that Greenlee finally decided to have this service . I mean , it ll give us a chance to say good - bye to Ryan , to the baby she lost , and maybe we can all begin to heal . And maybe Greenlee can , too .
Erica : There just are so many ways of healing .
Jack : You know who s been a standout throughout this whole thing , I got to tell you , is your daughter . I mean , whatever differences Kendall and Greenlee had , Kendall s a real champ . I mean , Greenlee could nt ask for a better friend . I mean , whoever thought in a million years that Kendall would turn out to be Greenlee s rock ?
Erica : Yeah , Kendall . Such a saint .
J.R. : It s kind of hard to go back . We re not kids anymore . A lot s happened .
Jamie : 99 % bad . Maybe it s impossible .
J.R. : What do you think about Tad and my mom ? Think they ll go for round 4 ?
Jamie : Be a heck of a Thanksgiving this year . At least we do nt have to sit at the kids table .
J.R. : So you re all for them hooking up ?
Jamie : Sure , why not , if they re happy . What about you ?
J.R. : Well , they always seem to end up here together . It s like you said , if they re happy --
Jamie : We just agreed on something , besides the cookies .
Jamie : I got to go .
Di : Tad , please . Please do nt tell them . Not like --
Tad : I do nt want to tell anybody anything . I want you to tell them .
Di : I ca nt .
Tad : The clock s run out , Di . If you do nt , I will .
Jamie : We ve got to head over to Ryan s memorial , and you re blocking my car .
Tad : Where is it ?
Jamie : At the park .
Tad : Just give me a minute .
Tad : You do nt tell them while I m gone , I ll tell them when I get back .
Di : Tad , I really -- I love -- I love J.R. and Little Adam and -- and this family . I do nt want to hurt anyone . It ll destroy them . And me .
Tad : Well , I guess it ll be good material for your memoirs . Del should be thrilled . He ll have plenty of time now that the Dixie story turned out to be fiction .
Di : Tad , I thought you really loved me .
Tad : I loved Dixie . She s dead .
Jack : Come on , kids , let s go ! We do nt want to be late .
Reggie : J , all right , chill , relax . We have plenty of time and -- by the way , you look great .
Jack : Oh , thank you .
Lily : Actually , Dad , the knot in your tie looks like you might ve tied it a little too tight .
Erica : Oh , I m sorry .
Jack : It s ok . Shall we go ?
Lily : Oh , my speech ! My speech .
Erica : Oh , that s all right . Go get it , we ll wait .
Lily : No , it s in the computer . I did nt get to finish it yet .
Jack : How long will that take you , sweetie ?
Lily : 16 to 18 minutes , one minute to print .
Erica : Well , listen , the park is so close , really . Lily could meet us there .
Lily : Yeah , I ll be in the park in 27 minutes .
Jack : Ok . Well , listen , I ve got my cell phone . So when you re ready , you give me a call , and I ll walk you over , ok ?
Lily : No . I go to the park all the time , Dad . I know my way .
Jack : Ok , good enough . We ll see you there in 27 minutes , though , ok ?
Lily : Well , 26 1/2 , probably .
Jack : Ok . Come on , buddy .
Lily : Ryan s favorite color was not purple . It was green , probably because it reminded him of his wife , Greenlee .
Greenlee : I know I agreed to say good - bye to Ryan when you got pregnant , but now that it s here --
Kendall : You can do this . You ve got me . You ve got us .
Simone : Greenlee , Kendall , are you here ?
Kendall : We re in the bedroom . Hey , listen , if things get rough , squeeze my hand , ok ? Squeeze it as hard as you can . We re going to get through this together .
Simone : Oh , Greenlee .
Greenlee : Thanks for coming , Simone .
Simone : How are you doing ? Oh , my gosh , I know today s going to be so hard for you . Holy moly . I mean , my God , I had no idea you had so many pictures of Ryan .
Kendall : Ok , it s not the time , Simone .
Simone : Oh , my God , that is so cute , where he s sleeping .
Kendall : Ok , all right --
Simone : He s so photogenic . Did he snore ?
Kendall : Come on , let s go . You know what ? Let s go downstairs .
Simone : You know , I did nt notice any pictures of me .
Kendall : Let s go , come on .
Simone : Are there pictures of me ?
Kendall : Simone , come on .
Ryan : Hi . Look , I -- I know that this is a shock .
Lily : Are you a ghost ?
Ryan : I m real .
Lily : Everybody thinks that you re dead .
Ryan : I know . I m not . I m sorry if -- if I scared you .
Lily : I m not afraid of ghosts . Or people I know .
Ryan : May I come in ?
Lily : Ghosts can walk through doors .
Ryan : Which is living proof that I am flesh and blood .
Lily : Kendall and Zach thought that you were a ghost . But Sam , my boyfriend , he did nt believe that . He does nt believe in ghosts at all . At first we thought his Aunt Julia was a ghost , but it turned out that she was alive , too . May I touch you ? I -- I do nt like to touch hard , though . Wow . You are real .
Ryan : Pulse , breathing , the works .
Lily : But I do nt understand . Why -- why were you dead ?
J.R. : Oh , there you are . I thought Tad was going to keep you out there all night . What is it , Mom ? What s wrong ?
Lily : How can you be dead and then be alive ?
Ryan : It s -- it s a really , really long story , which is why I was hoping to talk to your dad .
Lily : He s not glad that you died -- you were dead . Greenlee s eyes wo nt water anymore . Her mouth will turn up for real and she wo nt be pretending . We have to tell her right now !
Ryan : No , about that , I do nt think it s -- I do nt think it s a great idea for me to spring myself on Greenlee , which is why I was hoping to talk to your dad , so that he could help me break the news to Greenlee . You know , and I ca nt walk around like this , so -- do you know where Greenlee is ?
Lily : Yeah , I know exactly where she is .
Opal : Oh , Tad , is nt it just a tragedy ? Here we get our Dixie back , and now we re mourning for Ryan .
Greenlee : Is it too late to call this off ?
Kendall : Listen , you are surrounded by people who love you , ok ?
Greenlee : I ca nt do it . No way . Let s go .
Kendall : Yes -- listen -- yes , yes you can . We both can . Maybe not .
Greenlee : I told you to stay away .
Erica : I told you I was coming .
Greenlee : I do nt want you here .
Erica : I m here for Ryan .
Kendall : Mother , please do nt make this worse .
Jack : What the heck is going on here ?
Erica , Kendall , and Greenlee : Nothing .
Reggie : Yeah , seems like a whole lot of nothing to me .
Jack : Yeah , well , nobody s going anywhere until somebody tells me what this is all about .
Greenlee : Fine , you want to know ? I ll tell you . But you re going to hate it , so when you go storming out of here , take Erica with you .
Erica : Is this really the way you want to begin Ryan s memorial ?
Greenlee : Let s get it out . One big happy family getting bigger all the time .
Kendall : Please do nt tell them I m pregnant .
Lily : Where s Ryan ?
Zach : You re dead . Stay that way .
Ryan : It s not your call , Zach . I know what I m doing .

### Dialogue:
Sharon : Oh , God . No , no , no , no , no , no , no .
Nick : Sharon .
Sharon : It s happening again . I see her , Nick . Cassie is in the room .
Nick : All right . Listen to me . Cassie was never a ghost or a hallucination . That woman standing there is real .
Courtney : What did your mom say ? Is everything okay ?
Noah : Yeah . He texted her . He s fine . Said he wants her to meet him at his place .
Courtney : See ? There s nothing to worry about .
Noah : Yeah . Yeah , I guess I should nt be .
Courtney : What s wrong ?
Noah : It s just a little weird , you know , for him to leave a family event like that , not to call me and my mom . And then , when he finally does check in , it s just a little vague .
Courtney : Yeah . So , you re still worried ?
Noah : About my dad ? No , not so much , but it was nt too long ago my mom was in a hospital . You know , her head was really messed up .
Courtney : I thought you said she s healthy now .
Noah : Yeah , she is , but she s not indestructible . I just do nt want anything to set her off .
Sharon : How can that be ? How can you see her ?
Nick : Because that s a real person . She s standing in this room with us .
Sharon : No . Cassie is a hallucination . She s my hallucination .
Nick : Cassie s not a hallucination is she , Dad ?
Paul : You know , I m thinking steak . [ Chuckling ]
Lauren : Really ?
Michael : Oh , what a shock .
Christine : Wow . I love how you say that like we re supposed to be surprised .
Paul : What , I m that predictable ?
Lauren : [ Chuckling ] Oh , yes .
Christine : Yeah .
Paul : [ Chuckling ] Okay . I ll show you . I can mix it up .
Lauren : Oh , really ? You can ? You re not gon na have it medium - rare ?
Paul : Well , I m gon na have the steak all right , but instead of the baked potato and the green beans , I ll have a baked potato and the broccoli .
Christine : Ooh , well , wonders never cease .
Michael : Who are you and what have you done with my friend Paul ?
Lauren : [ Laughing ] Seriously .
Avery : Hi , everyone . Do nt mean to interrupt .
Lauren : Hi , Avery . How you doing ?
Avery : I m good , and I promise no shop talk , but , um , Michael , I was hoping that I could come by one day next week , talk to you about a case I m working on for the Innocence Foundation .
Michael : Sure , sure . Will Leslie be joining us ?
Avery : No . It ll just be you and me .
Michael : I m surprised you re not strategizing with your partner .
Christine : Oh , could it be because she defended Ian Ward into a mistrial ?
Avery : Why do nt we just say that I d like a set of fresh eyes looking at the evidence and leave it at that ?
Paul : Yeah , well , Ian Ward is certainly pressing his luck , showing up here and flaunting his freedom .
Christine : Uh , temporary freedom , if I have anything to say about it .
Paul : Sure . But he made some powerful enemies , and if he sticks around , I just ca nt see anything good will ever come of it .
Ian : An iced tea sounds delicious .
Dylan : You know you re not welcome here . How clear do I need to be ?
Ian : Well , I think you re gon na change your tune when you hear why I ve come . I ve got some news to share that ll interest you .
Christine : I m working with the prosecutor in Madison . We re not gon na let this go .
Lauren : You know , after reading about this Ian Ward , I m really glad you re gon na keep after him .
Avery : Well , if there s anything I can do , please do nt hesitate .
Christine : Thank you . I ll keep that in mind .
Avery : Okay . Enjoy your evening , and , Michael , I ll be in touch .
Michael : I ll look forward to hearing from you .
Avery : Good night .
Paul : Uh , I ll be back in a sec . Avery . Hey , listen . Um , for what it s worth , I just want you to know that I regret like hell that Ian Ward is back on the streets . And I know that Dylan is upset .
Avery : Upset ? Try furious .
Paul : Has he acted on that , by any chance ?
Avery : Ian tried to goad him into losing his temper , but Dylan kept his cool .
Paul : Ward is very persistent . He will try again and again until he gets what he wants from Dylan , whatever that is .
Avery : The man is clearly up to no good .
Paul : Well , I will watch out for Ian Ward . I need you to keep an eye on Dylan .
Dylan : The door s over there .
Ian : [ Chuckles ] I ve drawn up a will . Made you the sole beneficiary of my estate .
Dylan : What makes you think that I would take a dime from you ?
Ian : Dylan , when we hang on to feelings of hatred and betrayal , we become enslaved by negativity . Now , do nt be a slave . There s nothing more liberating and life affirming than letting go , giving those who have wronged you a second chance , like the second chance you ve gotten with Avery despite the role you played in undermining her marriage . Now , when I learned that you were my son , naturally , I did a little research into your background , trying to find some insight into you as a man , just as you did when you visited me in my office that day , feigning interest in my life s work . Finding your way to the path means forgiving others , not just yourself .
Dylan : If you re asking me to forgive you for what you did to Nikki and Summer , you re even crazier than I thought .
Ian : Oh , I m quite sane . Thank you very much . Yeah , I m not the one that decked a man at a bar and kidnapped someone else s child .
Dylan : Are you trying to piss me off ?
Ian : [ Chuckles ]
Noah : Listen , I m sorry I m so preoccupied . It s just when it comes to my parents , I ve really learned to expect the worst .
Courtney : I thought the party went well .
Noah : Oh , it did . It went great . A little too well .
Courtney : Except for the part where Summer told Nikki that your new roommate is also a cop .
Noah : [ Chuckles ]
Courtney : Come on . You saw her face . It s probably not the type of woman she envisioned for her grandson .
Noah : My grandmother likes you . Okay ? They re not like that . My family s not like that .
Courtney : [ Chuckles ]
Noah : She and my grandfather -- they grew up poor . Do nt let the millions fool you , okay ? They re really not snobs .
Courtney : Whatever .
Noah : And if you did detect some kind of attitude , it probably had to do less with your salary and more to do with how dangerous your job is .
Courtney : Can we not talk about that again ?
Noah : No , you re right . I m sorry . I m sorry . Yeah , no . There I go again .
Courtney : It s okay . I think it s sweet how much you care .
Noah : It really was a great night . My mom and my grandfather in the same room together--
Courtney : [ Chuckles ]
Noah : --He was actually polite to her .
Courtney : That part was amazing .
Noah : I hate how he judges people and then he punishes them , yet everything that he does is for the good of the family . But I do nt know . Tonight was different . It was different . He was really making an effort .
Courtney : I love how protective you get when it comes to your family .
Noah : Well , do you know what I love ? The fact that we are free tonight , and for the rest of the evening , I do nt even have to think about my family .
Courtney : Hmm .
Nick : It s not a figment of your imagination . And that is definitely not Cassie .
Victor : So , what the hell is going on here ?
Noah : Well , I was hoping you could tell me .
Victor : What did she tell you ?
Noah : Do nt do that . Do nt pretend like you were nt behind this from the beginning .
Sharon : Well , if you re not a ghost or a phantasm , then who are you , really ?
Cassie : I m sorry . I never should have come here . I never should have agreed to this .
Victor : Let her go .
Sharon : No ! Please stay . Do nt go .
Victor : The fact that this woman bears a certain resemblance to ...
Nick : Our dead daughter ? That was the point , was nt it ?
Victor : I have no idea what you re talking about , son .
Sharon : How is this possible ? What is your name ? Where did you come from ?
Cassie : It s not important .
Sharon : But you -- you have Cassie s hair and eyes -- the same eyes I looked into when I sang her to sleep or I wiped her tears .
Cassie : You heard him . I m not her .
Sharon : But you could be .
Avery : What is it you re afraid Dylan s gon na do ? Pound Ian to a pulp ? Because he had the chance to do that , and he kept a lid on it . I know . I was there .
Paul : Okay . All right . What you may not know is that Ian came into the station and filed a complaint .
Avery : Oh , great . Ian s complaining . About what ?
Paul : Well , apparently , someone trashed his hotel room .
Avery : Was anything taken ?
Paul : No . Which makes me wonder -- whoever did it might be trying to send him a message .
Avery : And you think it might be Dylan .
Paul : Well , if it were , I could certainly easily understand that the temptation would remain to continue to harass him and try and do anything you possibly can to get him to leave . And if that is the case , Dylan needs to ask himself if a criminal record is worth it .
Avery : Ian Ward is nt worth anyone ruining their lives for .
Paul : Good . Then we agree . And that s very important to me , seeing that you are Dylan s attorney as well as his girlfriend .
Avery : Well , I will take your advice in the spirit in which it was given -- monitor the situation . Will that suffice ?
Paul : Could nt ask for anything more .
Avery : Have a good night , Paul .
Paul : You , too .
Avery : And thank you for the heads up .
Paul : Well , you know what they say . An ounce of prevention .
Courtney : I do nt understand . What are we doing here ?
Noah : It s a surprise .
Courtney : Oh , I do nt know if I can handle a surprise tonight . Can we just go home and get cozy and see what happens ?
Noah : That s part of the surprise . See , my place needed to be painted -- sorry , our place .
Courtney : Nice save , Newman .
Noah : And the paint smell is pretty intense , so I booked us a suite here .
Courtney : Um , why do nt we go check it out ?
Noah : You re in a hurry , huh ?
Courtney : I just do nt really want my boss to see me .
Noah : Ah . You afraid he ll put you on duty ?
Courtney : Just send me back to the shooting range .
Noah : How good a shot are you ?
Courtney : Stop worrying . I get better all the time .
Noah : Well , now I m worried .
Courtney : [ Chuckles ]
Christine : So , it s been a while since we ve caught up . How s it going ?
Lauren : Oh . I m fine . Thank you .
Christine : Really ? Cause when I said I was so hungry I could eat the menu and everything on it , you seemed a little pale . Are you feeling all right ?
Michael : Oh , Lauren s tired . That s all . Opening the new boutique , having it tied in with the fashion show -- it s been exhausting for her .
Christine : Well , I heard you almost fainted and Michael brought you to the hospital . Are they sure it s just exhaustion ?
Lauren : Yeah . We re sure .
Christine : You okay ? Confession time . Come on . Paul told me .
Lauren : Told you what ?
Christine : That you re pregnant . Congratulations . It s really wonderful news .
Cassie : I m just someone who looks like your daughter .
Sharon : But you do nt just look like her . It s the way you talk , the way you -- you move .
Nick : I was as blown away as you are when I saw her . I mean , it s an amazing coincidence . You know how they say there s someone out there in the world who looks exactly like you ? Well , this is Cassie s . But it s not a coincidence that she s in Genoa City . Is it , Dad ? You knew how sick Sharon was . You knew how much you suffered after Cassie died . Now , I was starting to think that you were ready to accept the fact that Sharon was back in my life again , that this was a fresh start . That was just a lie . It s another sick way for you to try and bring Sharon down and control my life the way you always do . And then you told this woman everything about our daughter -- how she wore her hair , the kind of clothes she wore -- you told her everything . And then you paid her to haunt Sharon . Sharon , my dad deliberately tried to drive you crazy . He was gaslighting you the same way Adam did to Ashley -- the same way . He was trying to ruin you , mentally and emotionally . Like father , like son , huh , Dad ?
Ian : In spite of what you may think , I m not into mind games . It s a waste of energy .
Dylan : That s good . Cause here s some honesty coming your way . I do nt want your money , I do nt want to hear from you , and I do nt want to see you again unless you re on your way out of town .
Ian : Oh . You make it sound as if you would nt mind if I keeled over and died . [ Chuckles ] Oh , I see . You ve given that some thought , have nt you ?
Dylan : Would nt exactly shed a tear .
Ian : [ Chuckles ] Boy .
Dylan : You think that s funny ?
Ian : No , no . Actually , it s unfortunate . You see , let me tell you something . If I should die suddenly or in a suspicious manner , you re the one that has the most to gain -- a fact that the police would nt ignore .
Dylan : So that s what this -- this whole thing s about -- putting me in your will . It s an insurance policy . Because you re worried if I snap , you might be the victim .
Ian : That s one way to look at it . Yeah .
Dylan : Yeah , well , I m , uh , I m getting counseling for my post - traumatic stress . But when I do snap , I mean , it s really , uh , there s no controlling it . So no paperwork s gon na matter .
Ian : Huh .
Avery : What are you doing here , Ian ?
Ian : Avery . My dear , congratulations .
Avery : For what ?
Ian : Why , your new web series . The pilot s online . And that chocolate soufflé cake looked outstanding .
Avery : You watched it ?
Ian : I , along with a lot of other people . And the hits just kept climbing as I was watching . Best of luck with this . You should be very proud .
Dylan : [ Sighs ] I am . I am proud . It s great news .
Avery : Yeah , except for the part about Ian watching .
Christine : I admitted that I knew Lauren s pregnant .
Paul : Oh . Well , then , I say , uh , we should drink to that .
Lauren : I agree with you . Um , a toast is definitely in order . But let s toast to the four of us and our friendship .
Paul : Uh .
Christine : You know what ? I do nt want to judge your choice , but --
Paul : You should nt be drinking that .
Michael : Lauren s not pregnant .
Christine : Oh , no .
Lauren : Yeah . It was a false positive . I never was . So , cheers .
All : Cheers .
Christine : I m so sorry . You must be disappointed .
Lauren : You know what ? We had mixed feelings about it .
Paul : Hmm .
Michael : Yeah . Thinking of starting all over again with a newborn , especially now that Fenmore s ready to leave the nest .
Lauren : Right . And then , of course , there were the health concerns . [ Sighs ] I m not exactly 22 anymore .
Paul : Right .
Christine : Something that women our age have to think about .
Paul : [ Sighs ] That had to be quite a roller coaster , huh ?
Michael : Yeah . It was a bit more upsetting than we thought it would be , you know , finding out we were nt pregnant .
Lauren : [ Chuckles ]
Michael : Felt like a loss for the both of us . [ Sighs ]
Sharon : Is that true ? What Nick just said -- did Victor hire you ?
Cassie : I m so sorry . I had no idea that it would go as far as it did .
Nick : You did nt care what it would do to her . You saw a chance to make Sharon suffer and you took it . To protect me , too , no doubt , because I m not strong enough .
Victor : Son .
Nick : I m too naive to look after myself .
Victor : Stop it . That s nonsense .
Nick : You saw that Sharon and I were getting closer together , and you were willing to do whatever it took to keep that from happening , no matter how much damage it caused .
Victor : You want to talk about damage ? You look at Sharon . She s inflicting plenty of damage on you . And it ai nt gon na stop .
Nick : Do you have even an ounce of regret , or are you just gon na keep standing there , pretending like you had nothing to do with this ?
Victor : What is it she said to you ?
Nick : Oh , she tried to take credit for this . She said it was her idea . But she s just scared .
Victor : You want to talk about fear ? You need to have fear , about Sharon .
Nick : For you to use the memory of your dead granddaughter to try and drive Sharon to the brink -- she had electroshock treatment . That s how scared she was that she was losing her mind , dad . But the whole time , it was just the two of you working together . This was all you .
Sharon : Is that true ?
Victor : You had lost your mind long before you had these hallucinations . Are you forgetting the damage she inflicted on this family ?
Nick : No one is forgetting . Sharon was working to get better . She was on medication . She was working with the therapist . She was getting better . That was nt good enough for you , was it ? Please , Dad . I think it s time . Why do nt you tell Sharon the truth ? I think you owe her that much .
Victor : Sharon has a secret -- one that she is guarding very , very carefully , does nt want anyone to know about . Is nt that right , Sharon ?
Victor : You re so intent on hearing the truth ? Tell him , Sharon . Now s your chance . Come on .
Nick : This is ridiculous . You ll do anything to get out of admitting what you ve done .
Victor : Why do nt you tell him ? She has a secret . And when it comes out , it s gon na turn you against her once and for all . Sharon is incapable of change . Are you , Sharon ?
Sharon : What secret do I have , Victor ? What secret ? ! Because I have no idea what you re talking about !
Victor : You do nt have a clue , period .
Nick : All right . Stop ! Just stop . This is not about her . This is about you and what you ve done , and not just to her but to the memory of our daughter and our entire family .
Victor : Son , I m sick and tired of you defending that lunatic . Are you forgetting the damage she had done to our family ? She ll destroy you ! You mark my words !
Courtney : I ve never stayed in a place this fancy .
Noah : Seriously ?
Courtney : [ Chuckles ] Yeah , when I was a kid , my parents would just look for a motel that had that white piece of paper on it -- the sanitized for your protection . I thought that was cool , but this is pretty uptown .
Noah : I m glad you like it .
Courtney : Smell .
Noah : It s nice .
Courtney : Stress - relief balm . Like it just takes one little bottle .
Noah : I can think of a much better way to relieve our stress .
Michael : I m sure it sounds strange -- having been so upset about something we had nt even planned on or even remotely thought we wanted .
Paul : No , I get it . I mean , even though I was nt a father to my kids growing up , it s , um , it s hard having Heather so far away . I miss both my kids . And I wish I had had the chance to , uh , be around them when they were growing up .
Michael : We understand . We would nt trade one minute we ve had with Fenmore , good , bad , or indifferent ...
Lauren : That s true .
Michael : For anything . And Lauren feels the same way about Scotty .
Lauren : Yeah . You know , we re all very blessed and fortunate .
Christine : I know a lot of women who try and have it all -- family and career . I really admire you for pulling it off .
Lauren : Thank you . It takes a lot of work to find the balance , and some women feel like they ve shortchanged everything .
Christine : Well , it s a choice .
Dylan : I know this whole thing with Ian bothers you , but whatever he has planned , I can handle it .
Avery : No , it s not that . Um , I saw Paul earlier . Did you trash Ian s room ? Wait . What am I saying ? I m so sorry . Of course you would nt do that .
Dylan : [ Sighs ] You sure about that ?
Avery : Yes , I m sure . And we do nt have to discuss it anymore . Moving on to something else .
Dylan : Great . Great idea . Let s talk about you , and let s talk about your pilot that I watched earlier .
Avery : And ?
Dylan : And I thought it was really good .
Avery : You really did ?
Dylan : Would I say it if I did nt ?
Avery : Um ... yes ?
Dylan : [ Chuckles ] Yes , well , in this case , I mean it . You were incredible .
Avery : [ Sighs ] Well , hopefully , they wo nt show the outtakes of me breaking eggs and knocking over utensils .
Dylan : Breaking eggs ? There s outtakes ? I want to see behind - the - scenes stuff like that .
Avery : All right . Well , we ll get you a blooper reel for your eyes only , then .
Dylan : Did you like the producers ? They seemed like they knew what they were doing .
Avery : Yeah . I guess . I mean , I do nt know if I m crazy about the title -- You re Being Served ?
Dylan : I do nt know . You re a lawyer . I think it works .
Avery : Mm ...
Dylan : Yeah . You re Being Served . I think that really works . And apparently , I m not the only one who thinks so . Look how many fans you have .
Avery : Ooh ! I have 616 comments !
Dylan : And I do nt think this is gon na be a hobby much longer .
Avery : Okay , well , settle down . It s a pilot .
Dylan : Right .
Avery : And this website does a lot of these shows , so I am just gon na enjoy my 15 minutes of fame .
Dylan : I think it s gon na be a lot longer than 15 minutes . You were great . Do nt take my word for it . Look . Right here .
Avery : What ? Delish ! My new guilty pleasure . Made it for my husband and the night only [ Laughing ] got better from there .
Dylan : Whoa ! Somebody likes cake .
Avery : I think so . Oh .
Dylan : What is it ?
Avery : Well , read for yourself .
Nick : You were worried about Sharon destroying me so you set out to destroy her first . Think about what you put the family through . Think about how worried Noah and Faith have been .
Victor : Son , do you honestly think a couple of pills and a couple of shocks are gon na set her straight ?
Nick : Look --
Victor : One look at the girl who looks like Cassie and she falls apart .
Nick : I was so grateful watching you make an effort with Sharon . I really was hoping that you were starting to change , that maybe seeing your family happy might be a little more important than controlling them .
Victor : Son , all I ve ever wanted is to see my family happy .
Nick : God , I ve heard that my whole life from you ! My whole life ! And it s just not true , dad .
Victor : You re damn right it s true !
Nick : I m done ! Do you hear me ? I want you out . And I m not just talking about out of my house . I want you out of my life .
Victor : It s not gon na happen .
Nick : What you do is depraved , and I do nt understand how you could do it after what you went through with Ashley .
Victor : You re too blind right now to realize that that woman is going to destroy your life ! I ll be proved right , son .
Nick : Get out . No , no , no , no . I m not done with you , yet .
Cassie : I did what you asked .
Nick : This may have been my dad s sick idea , but you went right along with it . Even after you saw what Sharon went through , you kept it up .
Cassie : Never again . I m leaving town . You wo nt see me again .
Nick : Okay , well , you can tell that to the police after Sharon presses charges .
Sharon : No . I wo nt do that .
Nick : Sharon , this woman got paid to torment you . She s every bit as guilty as dad .
Cassie : I told you how sorry I was .
Nick : You think that lets you off the hook ? Sharon suffered terribly because of you . She got serious medical treatment that she did nt need . You and dad deserve to be punished .
Cassie : Guys like Victor never pay .
Nick : Well , you can tell that to the police when we get there .
Cassie : No , no , please . Come on . If he knew that I ratted him out , do you know what he would do to me ?
Nick : You should have thought of that before you took the cash , dressed up like Cassie , and then tortured her mother .
Sharon : Like I said , I m not gon na press charges .
Nick : Sharon , how can you let this woman just walk away ?
Sharon : I know I should hate you for this and want to see you punished , but how can I hate someone who has my daughter s face ?
Singer : Say you will it s a chemical reaction say you will it s a physical attraction say you will cause I will say you will cause I ll say you will I m not the man you used to know say you will I do nt want to be alone say you will cause I will say you will cause I will see that you end up with me
Paul : We re gon na stay and finish our coffee .
Michael : You have a good night .
Paul : All right . You , too .
Lauren : Bye .
Paul : Bye now .
Christine : [ Sighs ]
Paul : There you go . That was fun , huh ?
Christine : Yeah , it was .
Paul : You okay ?
Christine : [ Chuckles ] Yeah . Why would nt I be ?
Paul : Well ...
Christine : Oh , the talk about the kids ? Yeah , no . I m fine .
Paul : Okay . For the record , I want you to know that I m very happy with the decision we ve made .
Christine : With the decision I made and you went along with it .
Paul : No , come on , Chris . We ve been through this .
Christine : No , I know we have , and I know you re still mourning Ricky . But I know that you love being a father .
Paul : I love you . And I love our life together ... just the way it is .
Christine : I know . I just wondered , though , if I am missing out not being a parent . Maybe it is something that I want .
Avery : Oh ! Ouch . That is not true .
Ian : It s me . Where do we stand ?
Dylan : I hope you re a better lawyer than you are a cook .
Avery : Ah !
Dylan : Wow . A heart attack in a pan ? What ? !
Avery : [ Laughing ] Oh , gosh . Oh , ouch . Ouch . Wait . These comments -- I m gon na say these are a lot tamer than a lot of what you ll read online . And people feel very brave when they re anonymous , so , look , the deal is I agreed to put myself out there for people to see and follow .
Dylan : Right , right . Even like Ian . I hate that he s able to keep such close tabs on us .
Avery : Yeah .
Dylan : It s kind of ...
Avery : It s creepy is what it is .
Dylan : Yeah . Look at this one . Now I ve seen more , but this is still not the real Avery Bailey Clark . Posted by 4mj ?
Avery : That s the guy that wrote before .
Dylan : What the hell does that mean ?
Avery : I do nt know . I would nt read anything into it . Avery Bailey Clark . Yes . Yes ?
Dylan : What ?
Avery : Um ... thank you . That s wonderful . Thank you . Okay . Uh , bye . [ Laughs ] That was the producers in New York . They liked it .
Dylan : And ?
Avery : The show s a go !
Avery : Oh , my goodness .
Dylan : Mm - hmm .
Avery : They re setting up a production schedule for my cooking show . I have a schedule , Dylan .
Dylan : [ Chuckling ] Yeah .
Avery : This is happening . This is happening .
Dylan : That s a good thing , right ?
Avery : I do nt know . Yes . I do nt know . I mean , I do nt know the first thing about what comes next .
Dylan : Well , you can figure that out tomorrow after you get a good night s rest .
Avery : I ca nt do it tomorrow . I have to go home . I have to -- I have to look at recipes . I have to think about flavor profile , plan my plating . I love you .
Dylan : I love you . Good luck .
Avery : Thank you .
Dylan : [ Sighs ]
Sharon : Thank you for understanding why I m not -- why I ca nt ...
Nick : Press charges ?
Sharon : I know all the reasons you think I should . But I just ...
Nick : It s okay . [ Smooches ] It s okay .
Cassie : Hi . It s me . I m in trouble , and I need your help .
Nick : You should see the upstairs bedroom , Dad .
Victor : Yeah ?
Nick : We have floor - to - ceiling windows on one side , exposed wooden beams overhead , this cool alcove for studying or reading or whatever .
Victor : Absolutely . I know .
Nick : And not to mention the killer view of the ranch . You can see all the way to the riding trails down by the creek here .
Victor : I m glad you like it , my boy .
Nick : Sharon is gon na love it . Last night she was here , the workers had barely started on the upstairs bedroom . Now they re almost finished !
Victor : What do you mean they re almost finished ? I was just up there . They ve got a ways to go .
Nick : Okay , okay . Maybe I am getting a little ahead of myself . It s just -- I m so excited , you know ? I ca nt wait to get in this place and call it home .
Victor : I have a feeling you would like to move in right now .
Nick : Yeah , would .
Victor : You know , I ca nt help but think back to when I was your age . I had a one - room apartment . I had to pull the bed out of the wall . The heater was almost never working . Damn walls were so thin the wind just whipped right through them .
Nick : You know , you never talk much about those times .
Victor : It s before I became an overnight success .
Nick : Well , I know it took years of hard work . No one ever handed Victor Newman anything .
Victor : I was just determined to give my family what no one was ever able to give me . That s just the way it is . You know , as a father , you always want your family to have more than you had . Anyway , one day , when you have kids of your own , you ll find out what I mean .
Nick : Well , I do nt know how I ll be able to top what you did for me , especially these last few months . I owe you so much .
Victor : I just want you to be happy , my boy .
Nick : I am happy -- happier than I ve ever been .
Nick : I am so sorry for all the pain that my dad has caused you . When the rest of the family finds out what he has done , it s gon na be hell on earth for him .
Chelsea : If you came to kiss me again , get out .
Jack : The GC Philharmonic is playing Vivaldi s Four Seasons in the park today . We should go together .
Kelly : Yes . Yes , we should .
Victoria : You were married for a fairly long time . What went wrong ? Not being married , not having kids .

_ Announcer : The role of Cassie Winslow will be played by Nicole Forester . _
Cassie : Josh .
Josh : Cassie , are you okay ?
Cassie : Yeah , I m fine .
Josh : You re not fine .
Cassie : No .
Josh : Then my timing is perfect . Stay right there .
Buzz : Well , there s no reason to panic . We had gas and you have food . I do nt know how you will pay for it . We do nt have any power and ca nt get the credit cards approved . But hopefully we ll get power soon .
Reva : I would nt count on that . I had to park my car ten blocks away and walk . This whole town is out of juice . Like my marriage . What are we drinking ?
Danny : Well it is out . Any idea when the power will be back on ? Okay . All right . Yeah . Thanks . It s okay . I m here . Daddy s here . Always will be . Me and your mom and Marina .
Michelle : I wonder if it is a mechanical problem or if the power is out ?
Marina : Well , there s no service on my phone .
Michelle : I m not getting service either .
Marina : This is unbelievable .
Michelle : No , Jenna .
Marina : What ?
Michelle : Last time this happened I was with Coop s mom and kid . She fixed my hair and told me a story .
Marina : Oh . If you do nt mind I think I will pass on the whole hair thing .
Michelle : Yes . So where were you going ? I thought you would spend time with Danny and Hope tonight .
Marina : Well , I got called in for traffic duty .
Michelle : Oh . I just want to thank you for letting Danny spend so much time with me and Hope .
Marina : I m not letting Danny do anything . Michelle , I know it will only make my relationship with Danny stronger .
Harley : Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . Do nt move too fast . One wrong step could be deadly for the both of us .
Dinah : Okay , Harley , you are not my boss . You do nt want to be my boss . I high - tailed my butt over here to get an interview and I do nt know why .
Harley : Blame it on Mallet ?
Dinah : Believe me . I will . This is not good . This whole building is out .
Harley : Do you want to go up or down ?
Dinah : I say we go up and wait in your office . That s what we do .
Harley : Spoken like someone who is used to being rescued .
Dinah : What are you doing ?
Harley : What do you think , Dinah , rescuing myself .
Tammy : Hello . Hello ! Miss whatever your name is . Oh , great . I want to find it . Okay . ( Music playing ) That s better . A little . Now where is the prince to rescue me ? ( Music playing ) Mirror , mirror on the wall ... who is the fairest of them all ?
Jonathan : That s an easy one .
Alan : Hello , Edmund .
Edmund : Well , so much for this plan of yours , Alan .
Alan : I ca nt take all the credit . It is our plan . It seems to be working beautifully .
Edmund : For you , perhaps . For me , Josh Lewis rescued Cassie before I could get to her . I thought Jeffrey ONeill would be my only obstacle .
Alan : The night is young . You ll get your opportunity . Besides , our manmade eclipse has just begun .
Cassie : I am supposed to be meeting Tammy , and I am stuck here . She ll think I did nt ...
Josh : She will think you are stuck somewhere in the blackout . What you do nt know , you have hit the jackpot , because you are stuck with me . Lucky you .
Cassie : I m not very good company these days .
Josh : That s okay . You do nt have to entertain me . Unless of course you want to talk about why you are sitting here in a car by yourself crying .
Cassie : I am stuck , Josh .
Josh : I kind of figured that .
Cassie : No . I mean , really stuck . I m stuck in my own head and I ca nt get out . It was some stupid and selfish .
Josh : Because of Hope ?
Cassie : I love her so much . And knowing she is not mine , I feel so angry and lost and empty . I do nt want to let go . And I ca nt live with this ache .
Josh : Right . Yeah . I know that feeling . You wake up in the morning , look out the window and wish you could be somebody , anybody else because anybody on the planet has got to be in a better place than I am right now . But you know something about that ache , it goes away . It s usually right around the time you feel like everything is hopeless . And then there s this little light . Very dim at first but not bad . And you find your way .
Cassie : Funny you talk about light in the middle of a blackout .
Josh : What can I say . I am an optimist . There s a little bit of a smile . That s a good thing .
Cassie : Glad you re here .
Josh : Me , too .
Cassie : She has to realize how lucky she is .
Josh : I think she is beginning to remember .
Reva : I know that I should be lucky that I have a guy like Joshua . That s what makes it so difficult . Thanks .
Buzz : So you two are still on the outs then ?
Reva : Yes -- well , no . I do nt know . Because earlier today we were together , you know . Together , together .
Buzz : Together ?
Reva : Yeah .
Buzz : All right . Thanks for sharing . So you re back on track . What s the problem ?
Reva : I do nt know if I want to be back together , you know . It drives me crazy he is spending so much time with the big O lately .
Buzz : Olivia ?
Reva : Yeah .
Buzz : What about Bill ? ( some dialogue missing here )
Reva : She is on hold . That makes every guy in town fair game for her and is moving in on Josh .
Buzz : So you think you might be expecting him back .
Reva : Not exactly .
Buzz : But you said you two are together .
Reva : Yeah .
Buzz : So you slept with him to mark your territory and keep her away ?
Reva : Maybe .
Buzz : Well , I would nt overthink it , you know . Whatever brings you close .
Reva : I do nt think it brought us closer . In fact , it felt more like good- bye .
Marina : So one day when Danny and I have a child .
Michelle : Wait . You and Danny have talked about having kids together ?
Marina : Yes . But we will . Eventually . Why ? Does that surprise you ?
Michelle : A little .
Marina : Well , it is too soon to talk about kids yet until we move in together . We will take things one step at a time .
Michelle : Eventually one step at a time , very well thought out ?
Marina : Well , I am trying . So is Danny . We both learn from our mistakes , no offense .
Michelle : You know , I am the first to admit that Danny and I are the textbook example of how not to start the relationship .
Marina : Michelle , why ca nt you let him go and give him a chance to start over ?
Michelle : I have tried . You know , it does nt always make a lot of sense , Marina . It is the kind of love I feel for Danny , that heart - stopping love that nobody else is in the room . That kind of love is a person is lucky to have in a lifetime and that s the beginning and that s how it will be .
Marina : You said it , not me .
Dinah : I have been trying like crazy to get my life together .
Harley : You know , exactly how it do you figure that , Dinah ?
Dinah : I tried to give your best friend a baby , you know that .
Harley : That s before you faked a pregnancy .
Dinah : That s before the miscarriage that I had to completely get over by myself .
Harley : Yes . I am sorry . You did nt have to do it alone if you just told somebody the truth .
Dinah : What are you talking about . I know I made a mistake .
Harley : You think that makes it okay ? It does nt .
Dinah : I have been trying to tell you and trying like hell -- whew !
Jonathan : So , that s your wedding dress ?
Tammy : It needs some alterations .
Jonathan : Fine with me .
Tammy : What are you doing here ?
Jonathan : Well , I know that you told me to drop the ring off for you at the Beacon , but I do nt trust that guy at the desk . So ....
Tammy : Wait .
Jonathan : Are you cold ?
Tammy : No . Just that when I was little I was afraid of the dark and I still am a little bit . I feel trapped . There was a saleswoman in here but she went to the warehouse and has nt come back .
Jonathan : I guess that means you got the dress for free .
Tammy : Jonathan .
Jonathan : What ?
Tammy : Let s get out of here . Please .
Jonathan : I do nt know if I can . This thing is shut pretty tight .
Tammy : Please . I do nt want to be in here anymore .
Jonathan : You mean you do nt want to be locked up with all the white and the lace and the promise of a big , beautiful wedding ?
Tammy : No . Thank you . So --
Jonathan : Wait . The lights are all off out there . It is not safe outside . ( Music playing ) And again , maybe it is not safe in here . ( Music playing )
Reva : I know , actually , believe it or not , what I want . I do nt want to say it out loud because will you hate me and I will hate myself .
Buzz : I wo nt hate you .
Reva : I want to be able to go out in the world and be without shame . When I am through with that and tired and I want to be loved , I want to be able to go home to Joshua where he is always waiting for me .
Buzz : It s interesting . I mean you re throwing away something most in the world would give everything to have .
Reva : So you think I should just pretend to be happen ?
Buzz : No .
Reva : I am worried about Josh . I am afraid he thinks after our encounter that it might mean we are back together .
Buzz : You think ?
Cassie : So you and Reva are getting back together ?
Josh : Oh , no . I did nt say that at all . I just ... we did have sort of a , a breakthrough .
Cassie : A light at the end of the tunnel , perhaps ?
Josh : Yeah .
Cassie : All right .
Josh : I guess I just feel like the Reva that I was with earlier is more like the Reva I have been waiting for .
Reva : I think Joshua is waiting for me to be the grown - up version of someone I do nt think I can ever be . And he s been so patient . But it s really hard on him .
Josh : I am just really hoping that my patience will pay off .
Cassie : I know it s been tough on you . Reva is , well , she is Reva .
Josh : Yeah . Well , she s Reva , and she s also Reva ! You know ?
Josh : Hey , you know how right now you have your lives sort of wrapped around this little baby . Well , in the same way , I have had my entire life wrapped around the love of my life and if this really does nt work out , I have to unwrap all of that and it will be very painful .
Cassie : Josh , she is going to snap out of it . Whatever it is she is going through . I have to believe it is just one last rebellion .
Reva : I think Joshua thinks I am going through some sort of mid life rebellion . But that s not it at all . I am not ready to settle down with him and bowl in a mixed doubles league every Saturday night .
Josh : I am just really hoping she is ready and give us another chance . And I am working on it . I am trying to wear her down and trying to convince her that the word plan is not actually a four - letter word , you know .
Reva : I just do nt want to a plan . And I know that sounds crazy .
Buzz : I do nt want to tell you how to live your life , even a patient guy like Josh , you know , will close up shop at some point and after this wild stuff he may not be there . You could be sorry .
Reva : Maybe . Maybe not .
Frank : You guys okay ?
Buzz : Oh , just peachy . I am spending quality time with my favorite girls here .
Reva : You look like hell .
Frank : No , I am fine . It s just that the whole town is blacked out and an S.U.V. spun out of control and hit a tree . I am trying to get out you now .
Reva : Oh , my god that could be Josh s car .
Cassie : Reva and I are different in so many ways . I love planning . It s comforting . It makes me feel safe . I finally feel I can make plans in my life with Jeffrey . Tammy s wedding . And I guess I went a little crazy planning Hope s life because I thought for the first time I d get to do that for one of my kids .
Josh : Cassie , you are always going to love Hope . And that s a good thing . But maybe you need to be a little less careful with your feelings . That is , kids , kids need all the love they can get , right ? So why not make Hope a part of your life ? Why not develop some kind of a relationship with her ?
Cassie : That sounds good .
Josh : You can do that . In fact , you can do it right now . We can get Danny and Michelle on the phone and see how Hope is doing . How does that sound ?
Cassie : Just like that ?
Josh : Yeah . Just like that .
Cassie : One problem . We do nt have a phone signal here .
Josh : Well , we do nt know that for sure .
Cassie : Wait . Where are you going ?
Josh : Not far .
Cassie : Do nt leave me here .
Josh : No . No . Let me see what I can get here . I think this might work .
Cassie : Great . One last sane man in the world just lost it .
Josh : I just got a signal , missy . So here , make your phone call . Here you go .
Cassie : Are you sure you got a signal ? Because it looks like ... well , the bars . Oh ! You are nuts !
Josh : I prefer to think of myself as a problem - solver . Make the call !
Cassie : All right , already . All right . All right .
Michelle : You chose to love Danny , and Danny chose to feel whatever he feels for you . But it is not really the same .
Marina : So Danny and I ca nt be in love with each other because we never we want off the deep end together and he never saved me from an explosion or his mother or anything and so obviously , it is not the real thing .
Michelle : You know , the explosions and all took a toll on Danny and me .
Marina : You know what , Michelle ? Maybe you are just addicted to the drama . Did that ever cross your mind ?
Michelle : Maybe . Maybe . But it s my life and everybody loves differently .
Marina : Exactly . And Danny was desperate to do things differently . He needed a change .
Michelle : Danny needed a break .
Marina : Yes .
Michelle : But Danny is who he is . And he loves the way he loves with every cell in his body , with every breath that he takes , and to be loved by Danny is it .
Dinah : Oh . Ow !
Harley : Did you hear a word I just said ? Stay back ! I do nt want you pulling me down with you . I am glad I did nt offer you the job in the first place .
Dinah : I want to talk about your flawless judgment , really . Let s talk about your husband and how they are all related to one another .
Harley : Right now I need to laugh . I have made mistakes just like you , Dinah , but I have learned from my mistakes and I managed to stand by my man no matter what .
Dinah : These guys are big losers . Why did you marry them ? And also , why are you talking to one of them still ?
Harley : Are you talking about Mallet ? Mallet is a different story .
Dinah : Okay . You know what ? Love in the lock up , that was pretty steamy stuff .
Harley : You have a very active imagination .
Dinah : Yeah , I know about that . You know what ? Why do nt we talk . A little girl , to girl . Here you are in a cell room all by yourself , no men around you except for Mallet . Are you going to tell me for one moment-- and how do I say this gently?-- You do nt want to turn to him for a little comfort ?
Harley : Never . I have to say , I think about it for a second . I m just saying I never acted on it .
Dinah : You know what ? I am just saying , look , I do nt blame you . The guy is somewhat cute , all right . I think his personality is a bit toxic and has this thing about always being right .
Harley : Well , that s part of his charm .
Dinah : You are still into him .
Harley : I m not . He left town . I found the man I want and I have his looks .
Dinah : You know what I found in exactly what I wanted is no man and that s a good thing . I think I made a very good choice for myself . One other question for you .
Harley : Uh - huh .
Dinah : The girl you are looking at right now . The one that did so much in the past , the one that delivered your baby after everything I have done , do you still think she s there ?
Harley : Yeah .
Tammy : I should get this dress off . I mean , change back into my clothes so I do nt get this dirty . And then we should go .
Jonathan : Wait . Wait . Turn around for me . I m not going to be at the wedding . So my chance to see the bride .
Tammy : I do nt look anything like I will look that day . My hair is not up .
Jonathan : That s all right .
Tammy : The pins are nt in the veil and I do nt have the right shoes . Shoes ! I have to pick up the shoes . I keep making lists and still I keep forgetting things . Sandy and I have nt picked out music or the vows .
Jonathan : Are nt the vows like the most important part ?
Tammy : Yes . It just take a lot of thought to say what you want to say . I have written some stuff down but none of it is good .
Jonathan : Well , have you tried saying it out loud ? Sometimes that helps . So you can hear the way the words will sound ?
Tammy : You think ?
Jonathan : Yeah . Do you remember anything you wrote down ?
Tammy : Some of it .
Jonathan : Practice on me .
Tammy : What ?
Jonathan : What . What ? No one is here . You are in the dress . Just , look . You hold these . And imagine that you are standing on the altar and looking at the guy that you are in love with . And just say what s in your heart .
Josh : Say . Oh , yes . Look at that . Now she is smiling .
Danny : Well , any time , Cassie . I m serious . I want you to call any time , okay ?
Cassie : Thanks , Danny . I will see you . Bye . You were right . ( Laughter ) I still have Hope . It is just different . It will be okay .
Josh : Oh . It s Reva .
Cassie : Pick up .
Josh : I will .
Cassie : Perhaps she is in a different place than we are .
Josh : Reva .
Reva : Joshua . Thank goodness . Are you all right ?
Josh : Yes . Let s see I am in a dark parking garage with your sister and having a good time . How about you ? Reva ?
Reva : I m fine . I was just worried . I am fine . I am accompanied with Buzz and Frank .
Josh : I thought you were going to wait for me in my suite .
Reva : Well , I needed to stretch my legs .
Josh : Um , do nt go anywhere , okay ? Just stay put . When the lights come back on , I will meet you there .
Reva : You do nt have to do that .
Josh : Maybe we will pick up where we left off . I will see you soon .
Reva : Joshua , wait !
Buzz : No . You do nt care about him at all .
Reva : Of course I care about him . I love him . I will always love him .
Michelle : You know , Marina , if you and Danny were really meant to be together , I could nt stand in your way .
Marina : Thank god .
Michelle : Just remember one thing , Marina , you could have it all . The love , the passion , the heart - stopping romance . And I want that for you . I do , as your friend . Just do nt settle for any less , okay ? Because I do nt want you to .
Alan : Edmund . This is where we part company . The power will be coming on in a minute .
Edmund : Smug little prig , are nt you . The plague of darkness provided you with what you want .
Alan : Not quite . I , on the other hand is left holding ? Do nt worry . You will get to Cassie .
Edmund : For your information , it is not very easy getting Cassie away from Jeffrey ONeill . I think I may have lost my chance .
Alan : You ll have another opportunity . It s been a pleasure doing business with you , Edmund .
Edmund : Alan . You seem awfully certain of you getting what you want .

### Dialogue:
Lucy : Please come home . Please ? Come home , come home . I need to tell you . I just want to talk about it , and then maybe it ll feel ok .
Lucy : Ugh .
Ian : Hey !
Lucy : Hey . I missed you .
Ian : Oh , I missed you .
Lucy : I called you four times and you did nt call me back --
Ian : I know . I m sorry .
Lucy : So I wondered why .
Ian : I was in the lab , I was working , and I -- we came up with something . I got to tell -- where are the kids ?
Lucy : Carmen has Danny in the park , and Christina s with Kevin .
Ian : With Kevin ? Alone ?
Lucy : I thought it would be ok . They enjoy being together .
Ian : All right , but you told me that --
Lucy : I know , and I think that still and I worry , but I think it s going to be -- it s fine .
Ian : Fine , is it ? Well , are you -- I mean --
Lucy : The word is fine . That s what I said -- everything is fine , and it s fine .
Ian : Hey , hey , hey , hey , hey . What s going on ? Talk to me , all right ?
Lucy : I kissed him .
Ian : You kissed who ?
Lucy : Kevin . I kissed Kevin .
Christina : You re happy .
Kevin : Yeah , I always am when I m with you , honey .
Christina : Mommy , too ?
Kevin : Yep , and with mommy , too . You know what ? I ve got to go clean these brushes off . Are you going to be ok here for a few minutes ? You ll stay right here ? Ok . I ll be right back .
Christina : Now I can whistle , too .
Christina : I wish I could paint as good as daddy .
Rafe : You know what ? You might want to slow down . I mean , I m sure it ll be ok . The show s not till tonight . We ve been at it since dawn .
Alison : I know , I know , I know , but I still have , like , a thousand things that I still need to do . My list , it is not done .
Rafe : Ok , there s something that s not on that list that you really need right now . Ok , no arguments , all right ? I m going to get you some breakfast . You grab a chair . I ll toast you up a bagel , get you some coffee , juice . A paper here .
Alison : What is it ?
Rafe : Hmm .
Alison : Oh , my god .
Livvie : Hi .
Caleb : Hi , beautiful .
Livvie : Hmm --
Livvie : What was that for ?
Caleb : I need a reason now to kiss my girl ?
Livvie : No , but I --
Caleb : But what ?
Livvie : I -- I do nt know . You just seem a little tense or something . Is there anything wrong ? Are you all right ? Alison ? Is it Alison ? Is she bothering you ?
Caleb : No . It s got nothing to do with Alison . It s got everything to do with this .
Ian : What do you mean , you -- you kissed Kevin ? I m -- what did he do ?
Lucy : No . He did nt do anything . I kissed him . But it did nt mean anything , and I do nt know how -- I do nt know why it happened . I do nt know really what happened , but it did , and I stayed up all night thinking I was nt going to tell you because I do nt want to hurt you or make you think it meant anything , but then I knew I ca nt keep anything from you because we ca nt have any secrets between us . I do nt want that . And because you are the one person who sees inside my soul . I know if I kept this from you , that would be like putting up a wall , so , I do nt want any secrets . That s why I just need you to say something back . Anything .
Ian : No , I m --
Ian : No secrets , huh ? You re right . We should nt have secrets from each other . Me , I ll tell you mine . I just realized just now that my greatest fear is losing you . I think I could face almost anything in this world as long as I m with you . This -- well , god , this place is filled with angels and vampires . You re the only thing that makes me believe that any of this is real . I ve known you a thousand years and I love you , and I know you love me , and we ve been through so much . And now -- this kiss -- it does nt fit anywhere . Does nt fit . So , since it does nt fit , it means it s not real . And if it s not real , that means it did nt happen , and that s good , because if it had happened , you would nt be the woman that I thought you were . And I m not wrong about you . I m not . I ca nt be .
Ian : So , let s have lunch .
Christina : Look , daddy .
Kevin : Honey , how did you do that ? Well , this is really good . This is amazing ! Remind me to tell your mother that we have to get you into some art classes real soon .
Christina : Can we bring mommy to see ?
Kevin : Well , sure . I do nt see why not . Ooh -- but right now I have to get you home , and I still have to change my clothes . I promised your mommy that we would nt be late . I mean , we do nt want mommy to be mad at us , or you , but we know that would never happen because she loves you so much .
Christina : She loves you , too !
Kevin : Well , you ll have to talk to her about that . In the meantime , I have to get you home . She s probably already waiting for you . Bye , now .
Christina : Bye .
Rafe : Thanks for the help , Kevin .
Kevin : Mm - hmm .
Alison : Oh , my god , this is so awful .
Rafe : I --
Alison : The Stephen Clay new squeeze ?
Rafe : Ok , all right , easy . Ok , ok . Easy .
Alison : Ok , let me explain this . It s -- what if --
Rafe : You know what ? You do nt have to , ok ?
Alison : No , please , I want to . I said -- I want to , I want to .
Rafe : It s fine , really .
Alison : I was -- I was just -- I was there and I spilled a drink on myself and I needed to borrow a shirt of his because I was soaking wet , and then I was just trying to , like , peek at his song , and it just -- Rafe , I m sorry . Please talk to me . Hey .
Rafe : Hmm ? I was just waiting for you to finish explaining .
Alison : Yeah .
Rafe : I know that this is nt what it looks like .
Alison : Of course you know that because you know me better than that . But this is so disgusting . How could somebody write something like that ?
Rafe : No . Look , it s just another of Caleb s attempts to get me all worked up .
Alison : No , no , I do nt think it is because he would have no idea that somebody was going to be there .
Rafe : You keep believing whatever it is you want to believe , but I ve been watching Caleb for a long time , and I know exactly what this kind of thing means .
Alison : What do you mean , what it means ?
Rafe : Well , I ve told you that I think he s up to something , right ? Well , this is it , except this is just the beginning .
Caleb : You ca nt always believe what you read in the papers .
Livvie : Of course not .
Caleb : Of course not .
Livvie : Yeah . That s how the press treats celebrities . They cook up all kinds of rumors and then start a bunch of stuff .
Caleb : That s right .
Livvie : Hey , that s the price I get for being with a big , sexy rock star like you .
Caleb : Oh --
Livvie : Oh , come on . Honey , what were you expecting ?
Caleb : From you ? I guess I was sort of expecting the usual .
Livvie : Oh , yeah , the usual . No , not this time . Not anymore . No more meltdowns over Alison , because I think I finally realized you love me . I know , you love me , and there s nothing in this world that s going to come between us . I understand that now .
Caleb : Yeah , I m -- I m starting to think that you do realize that .
Livvie : And I understand why you have to play at the fashion show tonight . It s not about Alison . It s about us and about you getting your ring back , and playing your new song is going to do that . I just -- I want to help any way I can . And if that includes eliminate --
Caleb : I love you , maybe more in this moment than I ever realized . This is big for us .
Livvie : I m not going to pretend . You do know how I feel about Alison . I ju -- I realized that it has nothing to do with you unless I make it . And besides , I do nt think anyone can get to you the way I do .
Caleb : Nobody can . Nobody ever will .
Lucy : We re going to need to talk about what -- yes -- what would happen --
Ian : It s over , Lucy .
Lucy : How is that possible ?
Ian : It s over . This conversation s over .
Lucy : What just happened here ?
Ian : I ve had this nightmare .
Lucy : About me and Kevin ?
Ian : It s a terrible dream , you know .
Lucy : It -- it does nt mean anything . The kiss or him --
Ian : In this dream , I finally realize what immortality really means . It means outliving you . It means outliving all the people I love .
Lucy : That was your dream ?
Ian : I want to grow old with you . I want to watch you grow more beautiful every year . That s what I wanted to tell you when I came through that door , you know ? That s what I wanted to say -- that Chris and I are working on a serum to bring back my mortality , because that s what I want .
Lucy : That s what I want . More than anything I ve ever wanted , I want us . Ca nt you understand that ?
Christina : Hey , mommy , we re home , me and daddy .
Alison : Ok , I knew there was going to be trouble as soon as we told Caleb that he was going to be a part of this fashion show .
Rafe : There was going to be trouble whether we let him play or not .
Alison : No . Maybe --
Rafe : See , this way we can keep an eye on him and we ll be ready when it starts , all right ?
Alison : When it starts . I mean , is nt it unavoidable ? I do nt suppose maybe you could just sort of walk away from it .
Rafe : Hmm . I do nt think you really want me to do that , ok ?
Alison : Rafe , come on .
Rafe : Just think about this , ok ? Caleb got to come back here because I did . I m here with you now because that kind of balance exists , ok , so it s my responsibility to make sure he s stopped , and that s exactly what I m going to do , ok ? And we re going get through tonight perfectly . It ll be fine , no matter what Caleb throws at us , all right ? Come here .
Caleb : Oh , it s nice to see the front page did nt ruin your big romance .
Alison : Why are you guys here so early ?
Caleb : I like to do an early sound check when I play . It s part of the job .
Livvie : So , Alison , about tonight -- the designer -- are they bringing in a bunch of models and stuff from out of town , or what s --
Alison : No , no , I wanted to make it fun and kind of causal , so I asked some friends .
Livvie : Oh , come on , and you did nt ask me ?
Alison : No , I m sorry . I thought that you would probably just decline , so --
Livvie : Well , why do nt you try me ?
Rafe : Livvie , what are you doing ?
Caleb : Hey , easy , Rafe . You know , I m playing here for free . I think the least you could do is hear what she has to say . She s trying to help out .
Livvie : Yeah , I m serious here . I would really love to be a model in your fashion show .
Alison : Livvie ? Come on .
Livvie : What s wrong , old friend ? Are you afraid I might steal the show ?
Kevin : Look , I m really , really sorry .
Christina : Can daddy have lunch with us ?
Kevin : You know , I would have knocked , but she just opened the door and --
Lucy : It s all right . It s ok .
Christina : Can daddy stay ?
Kevin : Actually , no , honey . I have a lot of work to do --
Ian : No , why not ? I think you guys still have a lot to talk about . Come on . What do you say we go play outside , huh ?
Christina : Ok .
Ian : Ok .
Lucy : Ian --
Ian : Yeah .
Lucy : No secrets . And you re not wrong . So , how d this morning go ?
Kevin : Amazing . Incredible , really . She -- she painted this amazing painting . I mean , really , you have to see it .
Lucy : That s good . I m very glad it went so well .
Kevin : But that s not why Ian thought we should talk , not about Christina , is it ?
Lucy : No , it s not .
Kevin : Well , ok . Out with it .
Lucy : I really do nt want to hurt you , and I just want to explain .
Kevin : You kissed me , and now you re confused .
Lucy : It did not mean anything . I hope you can understand that .
Kevin : I understand that you stumbling around trying to hand me a load of bull is just that , because something did happen between us , Lucy , and we both know it .
Rafe : Come on , Livvie , what s really going on here ?
Caleb : Oh , Rafe . Paranoia is such an unattractive quality . May I have a banana ?
Alison : Livvie , why would you want to be in the fashion show here ? I mean , especially with it being in our gym ?
Livvie : Well , Caleb is right . It just sounds like it would be a whole lot of fun .
Rafe : Or maybe you really did get upset about this picture in the paper and you decided you did nt want to stay too far away from Caleb , right ?
Livvie : I always want to stick close to Caleb . I do nt need any picture in the paper to make me do that .
Caleb : Thank you , sweetheart .
Livvie : You re welcome . Alison , I m being serious with you . I want to be in this show . Are you going to let me model for you ? Yes or no ?
Alison : Yeah -- no , that s fine . We can just figure out later what you will wear .
Livvie : Excellent , that s perfect .
Alison : I m going to go check on the sound check .
Caleb : Hey , you know what ? I ll be right back .
Livvie : Ok .
Caleb : I m going to check on this , too .
Livvie : Ok .
Rafe : Ahem .
Livvie : I ca nt wait . Can you ?
Rafe : Caleb set this up , right ? This picture ?
Livvie : Rafe , believe it or not , Caleb does nt sit up at night trying to think of ways to get at you .
Rafe : Hmm .
Livvie : And this would have been very hurtful to me , too , and he would nt do that , not intentionally . Now , why do nt you tell me the truth .
Rafe : Oh , ok , the truth about what ?
Livvie : You re worried about Alison , are nt you ? You think your sweet little Ali has the hots for Caleb .
Rafe : You know what ? This conversation s over . It was really nice to talk to you .
Livvie : Ok , then , bye - bye . You did go and see Caleb , and you were half undressed , and , no , Alison , it was not an accident . It s time for an accident of my own . Oh , yeah . This is going to be one hell of a fashion show .
Alison : You know , look , I promised the crew -- they ll set it up when they get back . I think they re just probably on a break or something , ok ?
Caleb : No , they ll be back . Do nt worry about it .
Alison : Right , right . How am I really supposed to relax at all today , though , if Livvie is now in the fashion show ?
Caleb : She s trying , all right ?
Alison : I know . Yeah , she s trying . What happened to the vows that we all made ?
Caleb : Never going to happen .
Alison : Right . This all started again because of this stupid ring .
Caleb : Hey , you know , if you decide to do something like this again , give me a call , cause I know some better sound guys .
Alison : Look , if you re planning on doing something , I m just going to ask you honestly . Please do nt hurt anyone , ok ? I m going to go check on the crew . Ok ?
Caleb : Hmm .
Caleb : Oh , Alison . You take something that does nt belong to you and you re going to get hurt . Stay tuned for scenes from the next Port Charles : The Gift .
Kevin : Lucy , it was a kiss .
Lucy : Fine . Whatever it was , it did nt matter .
Kevin : Just who are you trying to convince of that ?
Rafe : I think something s going down with Caleb tonight .
Livvie : At the end of little miss perfect s fashion show , she s going to get exactly what she deserves .

### Dialogue:
Dinah : Come on . Pull yourself together , okay ? It s not a monster on the other it s not a monster on the other side of that door . It s your mother , and she loves you , and she wants to protect you . She always has , especially from him .
Cyrus : You still take cream and two sugars .
Dinah : What are you doing here ?
Cyrus : I ca nt help it if I know you better than you know yourself . You re hear to tip off your dear old mum that I m in town .
Dinah : You know what ? You ca nt stop me from doing that .
Cyrus : Now why would I , Didi ? I just want to make sure that Vanessa knows my side of the story . ( Knock on the door )
Dinah : No . Come on .
Vanessa : Hi , sweetie . You . Matt ! If he moves , kill him .
Mallet : Cooper , would you let it go ?
Marina : No .
Mallet : Oh , okay , that s a good argument .
Marina : Okay , so I m taking it personally . This guy waltzes into town , robs a jewelry store , and then continues to make a fool out of me as he convinces me that someone else did it .
Mallet : Hey , hey , hey . You do not know that Cyrus Foley robbed that store .
Marina : He s a thief . It s what he does .
Mallet : Do you have any proof ?
Marina : Do I need some ?
Mallet : You could haul him down here , but eventually you ll have to let him go .
Marina : Stupid laws !
Mallet : You re just ticked off because he charmed your pants off .
Marina : Oh . My pants are still on .
Mallet : Okay , good . Then let s put your butt back in the chair , and let s just stop obsessing over the pink panther , and help me find that gun that Josh claims he tossed in the lake because I do not like loose ends .
Gus : Alan opened his eyes last night , nobody bothers to tell me ?
Harley : Babe-- hey , wait , wait , wait . Maybe I should go in first .
Gus : Maybe you should have stayed home in bed .
Harley : You re an emotional wreck .
Gus : I m not emotional . What are you talking about ?
Harley : Honey , it s your father . It s understandable .
Gus : This is police work for me , just police work . Where s my father ? !
Harley : Police work ?
Gus : Hello .
Rick : Alan s upstairs .
Gus : We heard that he opened his eyes and that he s conscious .
Rick : Yeah , sure , all for five seconds . It s a common reflex action for coma patients .
Gus : Does that mean he s getting better or what ?
Rick : He s upstairs getting tests .
Harley : He s still in a coma , and Josh is still in jail .
R.J. : Mom , why are you crying ? It s Josh , is nt it ? He s not coming home .
Officer : You have a visitor , Lewis .
Josh : I told you I do nt want any visitors .
Buzz : Yeah , well , I did nt want to see you anyway .
Josh : Well , gee , thank you .
Buzz : I heard the D.A. offered you a deal . Two years for putting a bullet in Alan .
Josh : Okay , Buzz , you can stop right here . This is the part where you tell me to , what , fight the good fight ? Take my chances with a jury of my peers , is that it ?
Buzz : It s the part that I tell you if you re going to go away for two years , you better be at peace with it . And looking at you , I can tell you you re not .
Josh : The thought of two years in prison , that s ...
Buzz : Well , I think you can handle the time . It s just being two years away from the kids and Cassie that will tear you apart .
Josh : Yeah , but if I do nt take this deal ... I mean , what if Alan dies ? I could be facing life .
Buzz : Is that what you re afraid of ?
Josh : Would nt you be ?
Buzz : I d be afraid of what s going to come out during the trial , about somebody you care about .
Josh : What if they put Cassie on the stand ? I mean , who knows what she might say . So bottom line , if you were me ...
Buzz : Look , if you do go away , if you go away for two years , do nt vanish , you know . Sure , they can lock up your body , but they ca nt lock up who you are and who you love .
Josh : If I take this deal , I have to make sure that Cassie knows that every day that I m away from her is one step closer to being back with her , right ? Okay . Wait , wait . I need you to do something for me . I need you to do exactly as I say .
Cassie : When I think about Tammy , it makes me sad .
R.J. : I know . You do nt have to pretend , Mom , that it does nt .
Cassie : Well , I want to be strong for you .
R.J. : Yeah , I know . I miss Josh , too .
Cassie : He s going to be home soon .
R.J. : When ?
Cassie : Uh ... just as soon as he gets back from his business out of town .
R.J. : Well , when s that ?
Cassie : I do nt really know , honey , but I hope it will be soon . But there is a small chance that he may be gone for a while . He may be gone for a few months , or maybe even two years .
R.J. : Two years ?
Cassie : Yeah , I know it seems like a really long time .
R.J. : It s forever . He ca nt .
Cassie : Well , he does nt really have a choice about this , honey .
R.J. : We always have choices . That s what you tell me whenever I do something bad .
Cassie : I know , but this situation is complicated .
R.J. : No , it s not . It s simple . You talk to Josh and you say no . He ca nt stay away from us that long . We need him here with us . We ca nt be happy without him .
Cassie : You re right , honey . It really is simple . It s just the three of us that matters . So I m going to have Mrs. Chitwood put you on the bus , okay ?
R.J. : Where are you going ?
Cassie : I am going to take care of us-- of all of us . I love you so much .
Gus : What are these tests that you re running on my father ?
Rick : They re just routine , that s all .
Gus : Well , when you get them all back , I d like to see them .
Rick : Sure , as soon as your name comes on the list .
Gus : Comes on the list ? What does that mean ?
Rick : The people that have access to Alan s medical records . Those people .
Gus : I m his son .
Rick : Why are you so anxious for him to wake up , Gus ? Come on , I thought this would be a mini - vacation for all of us .
Harley : Well , as police officers , we would like to ask him how he was shot ?
Rick : I thought Josh confessed ?
Harley : Roomie , hey , I thought we were nt going to do this . I thought we were nt going to ask you anything about medicine , and you would nt ask us anything about police business .
Gus : Of course , if you re willing to bend your rule , we d probably be willing to bend ours .
Harley : Absolutely .
Rick : Okay . Do these rules still apply if I m not your roommate anymore , roomies ?
Harley : You leaving so soon ?
Gus : You got a better offer ?
Rick : I do nt know . We ll see . See you later .
Harley : For a guy who s marriage just ended , he s awfully happy .
Gus : Too happy .
Daisy : At least someone is . I look like a peppermint .
Harley : You are so cute . Does this mean your officially a candy - striper ?
Daisy : Please inform my mother that the interview was only phase one and now I have to make rounds with Lillian .
Harley : This is great . This is ... you re going to be fine . Lillian loves you .
Daisy : Could you also tell her that I m going to try my hardest not to run anyone down and kill them in the process , and that I ll see her at home later .
Mallet : Yeah , well , which part of the lake did you guys drag ? Yeah , no . That s what I was thinking too . All right , keep me posted . No luck . No luck with the gun . Any luck with the F.B.I. database ?
Marina : Still searching .
Mallet : You know , I know it s a long shot , but if a gun like H.B. s turns up somewhere in the country , anywhere in the country , it puts a big hole in Josh s story .
Marina : So smug .
Mallet : What s that ?
Marina : Dead end .
Mallet : Right , of course . Um , you know what ? I need a break . Let s go get something to eat . You want to come shopping with me ?
Marina : Shopping ?
Mallet : Yeah , I want to get something for Dinah . You know , this whole identity theft thing has kind of brought her down and I just kind of want to ... I want to give her a boost .
Marina : A boost ?
Mallet : Yeah , I m trying to be a good boyfriend here . I want to be a good boyfriend , so I want to get her something , but I do nt know what to get her ...
Marina : Jewelry .
Mallet : Jewelry ? Okay , jewelry . What am I going to pick out ?
Marina : I m an expert .
Mallet : Okay , cool .
Matt : Cyrus the virus , good to see you . Mallet s going to love arresting you .
Dinah : No , no .
Vanessa : Dinah , this man tried to ruin your life . Back to finish the job ? Well , not on my watch .
Matt : Or my watch .
Dinah : Matt , please .
Matt : You know , Dinah , it s either this or I m going to punch him in the mouth .
Cyrus : People , can I get a word in ?
Dinah : No .
Matt : No .
Cyrus : Even if it s to say that I do nt blame you for thinking the worst of me . Lord knows , I ve done despicable things to all of you . That said , I have paid my debt to society .
Vanessa : Oh , well , not to my daughter and not to us .
Cyrus : Oh , perfect you should mention that , Vanessa . That s exactly why I m here . When I was in prison , I had no choice but to take a good , hard look at myself . And the truth is : I did nt like what I saw . Vanessa : ( Laughs ) How shocking .
Cyrus : So I re - evaluated my life , and not to be too dramatic , I had an epiphany . The shallow hedonist who drank and lied and stole and had a fantastic time doing it . That s the old Cyrus . He s dead and gone .
Dinah : How much of this are you believing ?
Matt : Not a word .
Cyrus : I know it s going to take a long time to regain your trust .
Vanessa : Regain it ? You never had it .
Cyrus : But in the meantime , I want you to know that I do nt blame you for turning me in and sending me to prison , Vanessa . No hard feelings at all . Judge me if you must , but from now on , judge me on my present actions , not my past mistakes , and try just a little to forgive me because I ve already forgiven you .
Vanessa : It s odd , you know , but forgiveness usually comes after the act of contrition .
Cyrus : Well , prison does nt count ? I ve apologized to your daughter . She has accepted it . In fact , we ve reached a whole new level of simpatico , have nt we , Didi ?
Vanessa : What ? My daughter s name is Dinah .
Cyrus : Well , she ll always be Didi to me .
Dinah : Cyrus , stop with the Didi , all right ? Now , let s just drink these before they lose their fizz .
Cyrus : Here s to a long and profitable association .
Matt : Profitable ?
Cyrus : Didi told me you re starting a new enterprise-- a property development company . Well , you ll need staff , smart people that you can trust .
Matt : ( Laughing ) Oh , no you do nt .
Dinah : Cyrus , I do nt know why you would think that Matt would ever be interested in hiring you ?
Matt : Dinah ? Cyrus ? You want a job ?
Cyrus : I do .
Matt : Vanessa , what do you think ?
Vanessa : Well , I just as soon stick a piece of glass in my eye .
Matt : Yeah , and , you know , just for kicks , we could light ourselves on fire .
Mallet : These earrings are nice . These earrings are high end .
Marina : State - of - the - art , all the way .
Mallet : Wow , look a that , it says here the stones are exploitation free . That s cool , because I m not really into people being taken advantage of .
Marina : Especially by a smooth - talking Aussie in a fancy suit .
Mallet : What are you doing over there ? Are nt you supposed to be over here helping me pick out a gift for Dinah ?
Marina : Come over here and take a look at the security system . Tell me what you think .
Mallet : Ah , I see nothing . I see brand newness .
Marina : Bingo . Foley somehow short - circuited the security system and got into the shop without cutting a single wire . Now , he cleared the place out , and he could have gotten out before the owner got back , but he did nt . He chose to stick around so the owner could catch a glimpse of him . Ergo ...
Mallet : Ipso facto ?
Marina : Foley wanted to be seen . He wanted to flaunt how good he is .
Mallet : Well , you ca nt blame a guy for being proud of his work .
Marina : Oh , why do nt you care about this ?
Mallet : I do care about this . It s just not my case .
Marina : So ? We re both on the same team here . I know that you do nt want some legendary crook roaming the streets of Springfield any more than I do .
Mallet : No , I do nt . But we both know that a thief that is that much of a showoff , nine times out of ten , they usually leave some kind of a calling card just to stick it to us . And this guy did not . So maybe Foley is not your man after all . Now , I m going to go inside and spend a paycheck on some bling- bling .
Gus : Hey , Daisy ! Your mother is right here . I would like you to talk to her yourself .
Daisy : I told you , I ll live in the house , even after what she did to me , but I only talk to you .
Harley : Well , if I cook you dinner first , will he chew it for you ?
Daisy : Tell her that she s being ...
Harley : Sarcastic ? Where would I learn that from ?
Gus : Okay , okay , okay . All right . Look , your mom and I , we re very proud of you , okay ? And you got this job-- that s fantastic . It shows initiative , it shows you re taking responsibility . And we re very proud of you --
Daisy : Oh , yeah , uh - huh . Please , come on . We all know that it was either this or be grounded until I m as ancient as she is .
Harley : Why do you have to ... ?
Daisy : I m not going to do this . I m not going to strain my voice for you . I m not going to do it .
Harley : I have to go . I have to take Jude to the dentist , get some cough drops . Good luck , Daisy , with phase two . You re going to do great . I m proud of you .
Gus : I m ... I m going to schedule her a lobotomy next week . Are you trying to hurt your mom ? Are you trying to do that ? Because she loves you , you know ? She does .
Daisy : Yeah , she loves me so much that she put me in jail . She would never have done that to Jude or Zach or Leah Bauer or any other kid ...
Gus : You want to know ... you want to know why she holds you to that higher standard ? You want to know why ?
Daisy : Let me guess : Because she loves me .
Gus : No . Because you re just like her .
Cassie : Josh , what does this mean ? You re not going to take the deal ? You re going to fight ? It s the right choice . It s the right choice .
Josh : Cassie , before you say anything else , there is something I need to say . Thank you . I pulled some strings with Frank , and Buzz helped me . I know this is not ... the most romantic spot in town . But it s going to have to do under the circumstances .
Cassie : Uh , is that what I think it is ?
Josh : Open it and see . I know you re kind of partial to R.J. s super - duper decoding ring ...
Cassie : It s gorgeous . It s gorgeous . I absolutely love it . I absolutely love it . And you know what I love most about it ? That it means you re going to fight ; that you re not going to take a deal and you re going to stay with us .
Josh : Read the inscription .
Cassie : March 19 ... 2009 ?
Josh : That will be our wedding day . Two years from today , the day I get out of prison . I m taking the deal , Cassie .
Cyrus : I m disappointed in you , Matt . As someone who has benefited from Vanessa s largesse , I would have thought you were more open to spreading the wealth .
Matt : You think you can just skip on in to town , claiming to be a new man , and then that makes it so ? You re going to have to prove yourself , Cyrus .
Cyrus : How , Matt ? What could I possibly do that would be enough for you ?
Matt : Come to think of it , nothing .
Cyrus : There is the rub . But that does nt mean I m giving up . I m determined to get back in your good graces .
Vanessa : Oh , yeah ? By hook or by crook ?
Cyrus : Dinah , I think I ve taken enough of your parents time . Shall we ?
Dinah : Mom , I ll call you . Everything s fine . It s fine .
Cyrus : Your mom is as self- righteous as ever , and Matt is still spending her money .
Dinah : You lay off of them . In fact , you find yourself another town .
Cyrus : I do nt want another town , Didi . I like this one . You re in it . Now , how about having dinner with me tonight ?
Dinah : Nope , ca nt do . I ve got to be with my fiancé , my detective fiancé .
Cyrus : So rain check ?
Dinah : Oh , it would take a hurricane , sweetie .
Harley : Tea with honey , please .
Buzz : ( Laughing ) Jude said he thought you should have one of these , too .
Harley : At least one of my children does nt think I m the wicked witch .
Buzz : Things are going great with Daisy , huh ?
Harley : Getting better and better every day .
Buzz : Ah , give her time . She ll get past this . One day you ll be having sundaes with her .
Harley : More likely it ll be Reva or Gus .
Buzz : At least she has somebody to talk to , you know .
Harley : That s true . She needs somebody to talk to . I m not complaining about that . I just wish it was me . You know , things are so good with me and the boys . Why is everything with Daisy so angry and complicated all the time ?
Buzz : She s 17 , and you re her mother . What else ?
Harley : So it s inevitable ?
Buzz : When you look at Daisy , who do you see ?
Harley : Me .
Daisy : I am totally not like my mother . I do nt judge people who I supposedly love and try and , I do nt know , fit them into some image of who I think they should be .
Gus : That s not what I was saying .
Daisy : Yeah , well , you re not helping .
Gus : From what I understand , when your mother was your age , she got into a lot of trouble .
Daisy : Yeah , yeah , she had me .
Gus : No , no , having you , that was the good part . No . Your mom , first of all , dropped out of school . She had to get her G.E.D. She went through a lot of rough times . I think she just does nt want you to make the same mistakes that she s making-- made .
Daisy : Well , I wo nt . I will make my own mistakes .
Gus : Well , yeah , you re good at that . You ve been making a lot of mistakes . I m proud of you . Can you just stop with the rebellion thing , you know ? Do a good job here . Make everybody happy . Make your family happy . You might shock yourself .
Daisy : In other words , later skater . You want to go keep snooping , right ?
Gus : First of all , do nt ever say later skater to me , because I do nt really know what that means . I ve got to go do my job . I ve got to go find out about Alan s condition , and nobody is talking to me .
Daisy : What , hospital regulations ?
Gus : No , I think it s personal .
Daisy : Is there anything I can do to help ?
Gus : No-- yes . Do a good job . And make nice with that nurse Ratchet .
Nurse : Daisy , Mrs. Raines got a call , so you re stuck with me . You ready to begin your rounds ?
Daisy : Yes , maam , I am . I was thinking that maybe we could start in the I.C.U. , since I m friends with Mr. Spaulding s family .
Josh : Cassie .
Cassie : You can keep your ring .
Josh : R.J. needs you .
Cassie : He needs you , too .
Josh : Two years will go by quick . Think of it as junior college for me .
Cassie : Would you stop it ? This is nt funny .
Josh : Okay . You re right . But , you know what , it s not as bad as it could be , either . They re probably going to put me in some kind of minimum security country club place , you know ? You and Billy will be here slaving away , keeping Lewis afloat , and I ll be working on my golf game .
Cassie : You re doing this ? You re taking the deal because of me . And I do nt want you to .
Josh : It s not your call to make . It s mine .
Cassie : It s wrong , Josh . It s just plain wrong .
Josh : A lot of things are wrong , Cassie . What Alan Spaulding did , what he did to Tammy , that was wrong . But we have a chance to take control now , and that s what I m doing . I m not letting Alan Spaulding or the D.A. or anyone else decide our future . It s ours . I love you .
R.J. : Josh !
Josh : R.J .. A lot of people are going to be saying a lot of things about me from here on in , and I know this will be hard for you . But I want to ask you to hang tough , okay , and do nt let it get to you .
R.J. : But they say you can go to prison for two whole years .
Cassie : We re hoping that s not going to happen , sweetie .
Josh : But if it does , I will e - mail you every single day . We ll talk on the phone . You ll come and visit me . As a matter of fact , when you get home , I want you to look in the top dresser drawer-- my dresser , okay ? There is a gold pocket watch there . It used to belong to my father , your granddaddy , H.B. He gave it to me once when he was away for a very long time , and he told me , he promised me that he would be thinking about me at 8 : 00 every single day . And every time I looked at that pocket watch , I would know that . Now , I want to make that promise to you , okay ? 8 : 00 in the morning , when you re having your breakfast , and 8 : 00 at night , when you re getting ready for dinner , you look at that watch , and you ll know that I m thinking about you , and that I love you with all my heart . Okay ? Give me a hug . ( Sobbing )
Daisy : Gus .
Gus : Yeah ?
Daisy : You ll never guess what I ... what s wrong ?
Gus : It s just about Alan s condition . I could learn more if I read the funnies .
Daisy : Hm , you really need to see his chart , huh ?
Gus : Yes , I do .
Daisy : Well , it s lucky for you that I have it here .
Gus : Where did you get this ?
Daisy : Well , I was just on rounds with the nurse , and she went to the bathroom , and I just snuck it ...
Gus : I do nt want to hear about this . Do you know what you ve done ? Do you realize ... do you realize what you ve done ?
Daisy : Yeah .
Gus : Okay , let me see it . Oh , this is good . This is good . You did a good job , partner .
Daisy : Partner ?
Gus : Yeah . This tells me everything I need to know .
Harley : All right , so I dropped Jude at Emir s house after school , and I told his mom that you would pick him up to take him to soccer at 4 : 30 .
Rick : Okay , good . Is this all his stuff ?
Harley : Yeah . See , I ve got a handle on one of my children .
Rick : Daisy s going to come around , Harley . She will .
Harley : She wo nt , because I did nt do my job . I needed to visit her more often . I should have forced her to come home . Yeah , I talked to her on the phone , but , you know ...
Rick : Come on , you did what you could . You did what you could . We all wish we could spend more time with our kids .
Harley : You mean I do nt get a do - over ?
Rick : No . You do nt get a do - over , but I might get a shot doing it a third time around .
Harley : Oh , my gosh . Are you and Mel ...
Rick : No . No . Do you think I would be getting a divorce from her if she was pregnant ?
Harley : Then who ? Beth ?
Rick : Yes .
Harley : Rick , I thought that was over .
Rick : Well , it was , but , you know ...
Harley : She s pregnant ?
Rick : Oh , yeah , yeah .
Harley : Is it yours ?
Rick : No . But that s all right . I m going to raise the child ...
Harley : This is Alan s baby ?
Rick : Yeah . And , hey , listen , he might never wake up , Harley .
Harley : Rick , what if he does ?
Rick : She does nt love him . I know Alan , the way he tries to control her . I saw what he did to his son . I learned from those mistakes . This time I m going to control Alan . Okay , I ll see you later . ( Cell phone rings )
Harley : Hello .
Gus : He did open his eyes .
Harley : Alan did ?
Gus : I saw the chart , and the nurse s report says that he seemed alert .
Harley : And then he just went back under ?
Gus : Because they gave him a sedative .
Harley : A sedative ? !
Gus : The chart says they were worried about stress on his heart .
Harley : Who s they ?
Gus : He-- the person who administered the sedative is Dr. Rick Bauer .
Dinah : Is that for me ?
Mallet : Yeah , that s for you . It s just my way of saying I m sorry for all of that junk that s happened to you with identity theft . And I just think you re doing really good ... you know , really , really good .
Dinah : With what ?
Mallet : With everything-- your life and your job and you re just ... open it .
Dinah : ( Giggling ) Oh , A.C.
Mallet : Uh , you ... it s ... it s ... you like it ? It s not you ? It s too big ? It s too small ? It s too small , is nt it ?
Dinah : No , honey , it s perfect . It s perfect . But I do nt deserve something like this . I m not the great new Dinah that you think I am .
Marina : Police ! Hands in the air .
Dinah : What if I have nt changed all that much ? What if deep down I ve tried , but I m still the Dinah that you first met ? Still the Dinah you almost arrested ?
Mallet : Oh , you mean that Dinah , the one that makes me look forward to getting out of bed in the morning . Because she always throws me some crazy , challenging thing and she tosses it my way . And I never know what that something is going to be , but I know that it s going to be different than the day before or the day after . And that s okay . Because I m the kind of a guy who gets lost in the routine .
Dinah : Honey , I love that . I need that routine , you know ?
Mallet : And I need you . I need you to shake me up and rattle my cage , and turn me upside down .
Dinah : Oh , you re a sweet talker .
Mallet : Have I ever asked you to be someone you re not ?
Dinah : No .
Mallet : All I said was to try to get out of your own way ... and be happy ... and let me . And you ve done that . Let s go see a movie .
Gus : Buzz , give that lady whatever she wants , and it s on me .
Harley : You got the job at the hospital ?
Daisy : Tell my mother that , yes , I got the job .
Harley : Oh , my gosh . I m so proud of you . I knew you could do it .
Buzz : Yeah , congratulations . What do you want ?
Daisy : Um , a Buzz burger with everything on it , please . That s what all the cops order , right ? Gus , what s our next assignment , partner , huh ?
Harley : Partner ? Since when ?
Daisy : Since I helped Gus with a case .
Harley : You did ? What case ?
Gus : Well , um , the information on Alan that I told you about , remember ?
Harley : You got that ? How ?
Gus : She snuck in there and she stole it .
Daisy : Yep , right under the nurse s nose .
Harley : Are you crazy ? ! You are crazy ! I want to hang out with you , because that sounds like something I would do .
Buzz : Yo , can you help me for a second here ?
Daisy : Yeah .
Buzz : Thanks .
Harley : You had her steal a chart ?
Gus : I did nt have her steal a chart . She did that all by herself . She did it on her own .
Harley : Oh , as long as she did it all herself , what am I worried about ?
Gus : Yeah , what are you worried about ? That s exactly the kind of thing you would have done yourself . I needed the information . As soon as my father comes out of a coma , Rick Bauer gives him a sedative . Why ?
Harley : He does nt want us to know about it . Why ? I have to tell you something .
Gus : Okay .
Harley : I had a conversation with Rick . He thinks he has a future with Beth . Which means Alan s in the way .
Josh : You see , the hot chocolate here actually is nt half bad . And I was just thinking , you know , you may not miss me as much as you think you will ?
R.J. : Yes , I will .
Josh : No , no , think about it . I mean , I wo nt be around to hog the popcorn anymore while you and your mom are watching a movie . Or you wo nt hear me singing in the shower anymore at the top of my lungs-- home , home on the range ...
Cassie : All right , all right .
Josh : Where the deer and the antelope play ...
Cassie : Okay , enough .
Josh : See ? See ? You wo nt miss me as much as you think .
Officer : Time s up .
R.J. : No .
Josh : It s okay , it s okay . I m going to see you real soon , I promise . You ve got to go with this ... this nice officer now . Take your hot chocolate , and your mom will be out in just a minute , okay ?
Cassie : I ll be right there , sweetie . Do nt do this , Josh . Do nt do this .
Josh : It s already done . You look at that engagement ring and you start planning our wedding , okay ? Because it s going to happen two years from today .
Cassie : Josh , please ...
Officer : Miss , come on .
Josh : Okay , got ta go . Go . Before you know it .
Marina : I do nt think I d come any closer .
Frank : I talked to the Commissioner the other day and , well , after I tell him about this , it should nt be a problem .
Remy : What ?
Frank : About getting your job back .
Remy : Keep it .
Gus : I do nt know , maybe he s faking it .
Harley : Well , there s one way to find out .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Amanda : What are you doing ?
Sean : Just thinking . If a little splash of water required me to wipe down your chest region , what would this ketchup get me ? And score . Hottest smile this side of the country , proving what you already suspected -- I am so good .
Amanda : And clearly modest .
Sean : Oh , completely , yeah . Seriously , whatever guy let you go is -- is a total moron .
Jonathan : No -- um -- action going on today at PV High there , son ? Huh ? No potentially lethal parties that you should be attending ? You know -- come watch Sean Montgomery get trashed and take another boat ashore . That s wicked .
Annie : Mine . Not yours . Not yours . Emma is my daughter , born from this body . I do nt know how many ways I need to say it to make you people back off .
Tad : You know exactly what you have to do .
Annie : Yeah . Short of a DNA test , which , for the millionth time , I will never allow .
Dixie : I promised you I would never try to take Emma from you .
Annie : It s out of the question .
Ryan : She said forget it , Dixie .
Tad : You want her to forget her own daughter ?
Dixie : Do you realize I could ve had my own test run before I brought her back to you ? I wanted to . I would have , but instead I opted to do the right thing -- to bring her back to you , her mother , as quickly as I could !
Annie : You almost ran off with her first . How can you even use the words right thing ?
Ryan : I have to put a stop to this right now . No more badgering .
Dixie : Please ? I -- I have been wondering for over four years whether my daughter was safe , whether she was ok !
Annie : Just quit pushing me , ok ?
Tad : The only reason she s pushing is because she s desperate . We both are . Nobody knows better than I do the kinds of things people can do when they re desperate .
Annie : Was that a threat ?
Ryan : It better not be .
Babe : Oh . Oh , my gosh , look at this view ! It s incredible !
Marian : It s beautiful .
Babe : Oh , my gosh . And I know exactly what I want to do with the living room . I m thinking , like , antique blue walls , maybe a sleek , white sofa , and some brown accents ?
Marian : Mm - hmm . Sounds good .
Babe : I love it ! Marian , this is so exciting . We can stop looking because this is the perfect place . I -- maybe we should make an offer before someone else snatches it up . And how long do you think it d be before we can move in ?
Marian : Well , wait a minute . Do nt you want to see the rest of the house ?
Babe : I do nt even care . It would nt even change my mind . The moment that we drove onto these grounds , I knew .
Marian : Aw . That s great .
Babe : This is my dream home .
Kendall : Dream on .
Zach : I do nt believe it . You tore yourself away from the blackjack table just to say hi to little old me .
Myrtle : Now , wipe that smirk off your face . Just because my posse won a few hands of 21 , you ca nt go Cagney on me .
Zach : Hmm -- a few hands ? Thanks to your old carny tricks , your posse ca nt lose .
Myrtle : Who said talent was a crime ?
Zach : I ll deal with the card sharks later . Right now I need your help with Kendall .
Kendall : Picture it , Babe -- tons of family photos all over the study walls .
Babe : Mm - hmm . I m already there . Little Adam looks adorable .
Kendall : Oh , not Little Adam -- Little Spike .
Babe : Hmm .
Kendall : And me and Zach . Our house , our name on the mailbox , our initials branded on the wrought - iron gates outside . Casa de Slater -- it s a done deal .
Babe : You already bought this place ?
Kendall : Yep . Live with it .
Babe : Liar .
J.R. : You re a damn liar .
Josh : You got me there . Saying I never made love to your wife ? Oh , that s a big old lie . But not anymore . You know , Hayward was right . The only real way to protect Babe is to get you out of the picture . So , yeah , I may be a liar , but I m telling you the God s honest truth right now . I had sex with your wife . And now that you know , Babe can finally be free .
Josh : If you re thinking about luring someone to a construction site , make sure it s not Babe . This is all on me . If you want to come at someone , I m right here . Do nt even think about laying a finger on her .
J.R. : So you re saying that she did nt want any part of it ?
Josh : Well , she fought it . Made me fight it , too .
J.R. : Wow . Yeah , that must ve killed you , not getting what you wanted .
Josh : Well , I did , eventually . And I have you to thank for that , because I knew if I was patient enough , you d do something to push her away -- right into my arms . You know , I know you re doing this whole redemption / sinner bit -- whatever it is you want to call it -- but I see right through it . And deep down , so does Babe . She knows it s too good to be true , that , eventually , you re going to snap again . Only this time , you re not going to snap on the woman I love .
J.R. : You know , that s funny , because I just heard her say today that she loves her husband .
Josh : Oh , yeah . Yeah , I heard that , too . I heard her say that she loves you . She also told me that she loves me .
Babe : I love it -- every room -- and I already have the paint colors selected in my head .
Kendall : The whole concept of you living here is in your head , Babe . So , say bye - bye to fantasy land and say hello to hotel me .
Marian : But I have nt heard of any offers being made on this house .
Babe : Good . I want it .
Kendall : Ca nt have it . Do deal . Mine . So , please , vacate the premises .
Babe : Ignore her .
Kendall : Ignore her .
Babe : Do whatever you have to do , just get me this house -- and I wo nt take no for an answer .
Kendall : You know , you are an excellent realtor , Marian , and I m sure over the years you ve become extremely resourceful . However , my husband has very colorful associates who are much more connected with their resources than you can possibly imagine . They always get what they want -- or , in this case , what I want .
Zach : Whatever Kendall wants , Kendall gets . Hmm -- you can always tell what Kendall wants because it s written all over her face . She gets that look , this fire in her eyes . If I could bottle that -- sexiest thing I ve ever seen . She s -- uh -- what s the word ? She s spunky . Do nt tell her I said that , either , because she d kill me , but it s true . She s -- she s intense and she s focused , and she has this spark -- or , she used to have this spark . Now I -- I look at her and -- and all I see is doubt and caution . She does nt believe in her husband anymore . How do I get around that ?
Myrtle : Well , use your ace in the hole . Kendall loves you , but she s in love with you madly .
Zach : Yeah . She was -- I think she was . But she saw me , Myrtle . She looked into my soul and she saw what I was capable of . It tore her heart to shreds . How do I put it back together ?
Kendall : Bye , Marian . Thank you so much for coming . Have a wonderful , wonderful day .
Babe : Marian , please , she --
Marian : Oh -- uh -- listen , I just remembered I have some urgent calls to return , but I ll keep in touch , ok ?
Kendall : Ok , ok .
Marian : Bye - bye .
Kendall : All right . You can go , too .
Babe : You so do nt love this place .
Kendall : You re wrong . I adore this place . It has Kendall written all over it . I ca nt wait to spend the next 80 years of my life with Zach raising a family here . You know , the only way I might ve cut you an inch of slack is if my brother stole you away from J.R.
J.R. : So you ve made your -- your big confession . You admitted that you slept with my wife . What now ? Come on , Josh , you re the one who s directing this horror show . What do I do now ? What , dive into a bottle of scotch , road - rage myself into a tree ?
Josh : I do nt care what you do . Just do nt do it to Babe .
J.R. : Maybe I should give her a call , let her know that I know everything . Let her know that I wo nt stand in her way if you re really the one that she wants . Oh , come on , Josh , work with me here . I m at a loss . I mean , what is the healthy response for a husband who has just found out that his wife is a cheating whore ? Thick heavy make - up ?
Josh : Cheating whore ? That s what you call Babe ? Your wife ? Babe is a walking miracle as far as I m concerned . You do nt deserve her .
J.R. : Walking miracle ? Well , are nt we poetic ?
J.R. : What do you know . Is this my walking miracle ?
Babe : J.R. , I found the perfect house .
J.R. : No way . You found our dream home ?
Babe : You have to see it . I m going to text you the address . Do you think you could come meet me ? I know you re going to love it as much as I do .
J.R. : Oh , even if I hate it , I m going to love it -- because I want whatever you want . Whatever makes you happy , baby . I ll see you in a few minutes . Bye .
Josh : You lay one damn hand --
J.R. : Actually , I was thinking about two . The moment that I see Babe , I m going to grab ahold of her , and I m going to pull her body so close to mine , and I m going to kiss the hell out of her . And I m going to thank her for being a wife who can I trust completely . What s the matter ? You seem like you re a little disappointed . You ticked off that your lie did nt work ? Well , you get an a for effort , but I ll tell you something -- you will never , ever know my wife like I know her . I also know that she would never contaminate herself with someone like you .
J.R. : And , by the way , you re fired . Make sure when you leave , you take the trash with you .
Babe : Kendall -- look , J.R. and I have nt exactly been Mr. and Mrs. Bliss since I do , the sequel . We really need this place . Please , we are desperate for a fresh start , and you know exactly why . Look , it s not like you and Zach , you guys are --
Kendall : What ? What ? We do nt need a fresh start ? We re just the epitome of a happy couple ?
Babe : What , you guys are still in a bad place ?
Kendall : I did nt say that . Do nt put words in my mouth .
Myrtle : This wise old bird once told a handsome young cavalier you must give a girl time to breathe . I mean , how long has it been -- two weeks -- since you and Kendall became official again . Now , she s got to have time . I m -- I m very good , but even I ca nt make magic overnight .
Zach : Hmm . Here I thought you had all kinds of tricks up your sleeve , but that s it -- tell me to sit back and wait ?
Myrtle : Look , the preacher did nt put the words for better or worse into the vows for nothing . You ve got to have patience . I mean , that -- that is the best I can do . And now my cohorts -- my friends -- are waiting for me .
Zach : Myrtle , do me a favor . Tell your cohorts -- your friends -- to take it easy at my tables , or I m going to stop sending casino transportation to pick you guys up .
Myrtle : Oh , you would nt do that .
Zach : I would nt ?
Amanda : Excuse me .
Sean : Where you going ?
Jonathan : Where you going ?
Amanda : This is nt fun for me , so bye .
Sean : No , no , here -- look , sit , please . Look , you came here to have a nice , quiet lunch . I m sorry if I almost ruined it for you . It was awesome to see you , Amanda . Hopefully , I ll see you again soon -- hey , when your watchdog is off - duty .
Singer : You see
Amanda : I do nt know what the hell that was , but do nt ever try it again -- not with me .
Tad : All we want is peace of mind , one way or the other .
Annie : And -- and what happens if the test does nt co back the way you want it to ? You -- you take another and another , and you just keeping going until you get the result you want ?
Dixie : No , just one test . That s all we ask .
Tad : That s all we need .
Annie : Forgive me , but I do nt have as much faith in one test proves all as you do .
Tad : Annie , let s say the test you took last year was a fluke --
Annie : It was .
Tad : Ok , all right . Flukes happen , but not all the time and not every day . All we need is one chance , one opportunity to know that she s not our daughter .
Dixie : Some part of you must want to put it to rest , to know for sure .
Annie : Oh , God , I am so sick of repeating myself . I do know for sure . How much longer do I have to do this ? I feel like I m losing my mind !
Ryan : Do nt worry , it s over . It s now time for you two to go .
Tad : Annie , please --
Ryan : Now , Tad ! Right now .
Annie : Go ahead , say it . I m wrong .
Ryan : You re exhausted . You re -- you re strung out . You re definitely --
Annie : On the verge of going postal ? Yeah , about this close .
Annie : They re never going to give up , are they ?
Ryan : Probably not .
Annie : Why wo nt they just leave this alone ? I thought after the hearing they would drop it .
Ryan : Did you -- did you really ?
Annie : No . I thought at least it would keep them away from Emma . See , now , Dixie can quit with the puppy dog eyes and the woe is us , because I do not feel sorry for them .
Ryan : Are you trying to convince me right now or yourself ?
Annie : I wo nt ok this test , Ryan . It s not happening ever . Oh , hi . Hey , you . I bet you were taking a nap . Huh ? Sorry . Did you hear us yelling ? I was nt yelling , I was just excited . Want to know why ? Want to know why I was excited ? Because Thanksgiving is around the corner , and what comes after Thanksgiving ?
Emma : Santa Claus !
Annie : Santa Claus !
Ryan : Oh , you know him , too ? That s amazing ! Wow . You know , he happens to be one of my favorite people in the whole world .
Annie : You know , Santa Claus likes little boys and little girls that take naps . Did you want to go upstairs and take a nap and I ll read you a book , or do you want to stay down here and play ?
Emma : I want to play .
Emma : Of course , you do . Of course , you do .
Ryan : Oh !
Annie : Ah !
Tad : Would you like me to make you something to eat ?
Dixie : No , I m good .
Tad : Probably just as well .
Dixie : I had a million emotions running through me when I left here this morning . I did nt know what was going to happen , but I did believe heday that I was going to be with Kate .
Tad : Dixie , that s what David Hayward wanted you to believe . You should nt have trusted him .
Dixie : I never said David was involved .
Tad : I know he was involved . He lives for one thing -- to destroy other people s lives . He knows how badly you want to be with Kate --
Dixie : He knows how much --
Tad : So he used it against you .
Dixie : He knows how much I miss her , and how much having her back would mean to me .
Tad : Listen to me . There is not one shred of decency or nobility left in that man . He does nt want you to be happy . He wants you to suffer every day for the rest of your life because you turned him away . Because you told him you do nt want him , he does nt want you to have anything . You have to cut him off completely .
Dixie : How can Annie just expect us to let this go ? How can we tell ourselves that Emma is nt ours without proof ? If we go back to Madden s files , if we look through every single picture , we track down every single girl , is that really going to bring us any nearer to our daughter ?
Ryan : You must have superpowers -- you can see straight through my cards . That s exactly what I had .
Ryan : You re very good at this .
Bianca : Most people would rather distrust the color of the sky than the person that they love most in the world .
Josh : Babe loves me . He s too smug to see it .
Bianca : And I do nt doubt it at all . But she also loves her husband -- a lot .
Josh : Yeah , they have a son .
Bianca : From what I hear , J.R. signed over custody of Little Adam to Babe months ago . There s nothing forcing her to stay with him . She s there because she wants to be . And I -- I know that you do nt want to hear it , but you -- you have to face it . J.R. may be a jerk . He may be infuriating and close- minded , but he has a pretty darn compelling reason to be smug .
Babe : How out you take that tape measure and see how many feet it is back to your car ?
Kendall : Is nt there a pink - and - turquoise double - wide calling your name somewhere on the outskirts of town ?
Babe : Oh . Good , you re here . Oh ! J.R. ? What s wrong ?
J.R. : Josh is history . I told him to start looking for job number 302 .
Babe : Well , I ca nt say that I m sorry . You know I did nt think it was a good idea -- you two working together ?
J.R. : You got your wish .
Babe : But what brought it on ?
Josh : J.R. is so cocky right now , but when he realizes I was nt BSing him about me and Babe hooking up --
Bianca : He may also realize that he loves her enough to try to make it work .
J.R. : You called it , Babe . It s a game of chicken between Josh and me -- who would blink first ? Well , it turns out I did . Seeing his ugly mug in my office is just too much to stomach .
Babe : So that s it ? It just hit you out of nowhere , out of the blue -- this is nt a good idea ? What happened to do nt worry , Babe , the bad stuff s in the past , Babe ? Something must ve happened to change your mind .
Josh : So what changed your mind about J.R. ? I thought you could nt stand the guy .
Bianca : I ca nt stand him .
Josh : Well , you re defending him .
Bianca : No , I m not . I m being realistic about Babe s feelings for him . I just -- I do nt see her leaving him anytime soon .
Josh : Well , she has to . He s going to hurt her . I know it , her -- her father knows it . I d expect you to think the same thing .
Bianca : I do nt trust J.R. s sudden reformation , but I m not married to him . I m not in love with him . Babe seems to think that he s changed , and who can argue with that ? I mean , there is nothing reasonable or rational about love . She has already forgiven him for things that no one should or could . And as much as you may hate to admit it , there s a chance he might return the favor .
Josh : There s no way he stays with her when he finds out I was telling the truth .
Bianca : Marriages do nt automatically break up because of an affair .
J.R. : Josh does nt deserve a handout from me . He s out to annihilate our marriage . Look , I know that you say that this guy is your friend , but he can not be trusted , Babe .
Babe : Ok . But something s happened between the time I left the office and the time you let Josh go . What ?
Kendall : Who let him in ?
J.R. : What s she doing here ?
Kendall : You and your wife are trespassing on my property .
J.R. : Your property ?
Kendall : Shall I hold up flash cards , genius ? My house , as in mine and Zach s , not yours . Oh , no , do nt look so sad . I m sure you ll find something trashy enough to excite your wife here . Or maybe you can build your own monstrosity . You definitely know your way around construction materials , J.R.
Josh : J.R. almost killed Babe for wanting him to stop drinking .
Bianca : I heard that there s a whole lot more to it than that .
Josh : Do you really think he d look the other way after he finds out that we slept together ? Are you for real ?
Bianca : I get what J.R. is going through right now , what -- what he could go through if he lets himself realize the truth . I have nt told anybody this yet , but one of the reasons that I left Paris to come to Pine Valley is that I found out that Maggie has been cheating on me .
Josh : Ouch .
Bianca : Yeah , major ouch . Heart - splayed - out - on - the - floor ouch . I m hurt and I m lost and I m really , really angry . But if she walked through that door right now , I would take her back .
J.R. : You know , you d be unbelievably stupid to go up against me on this one .
Kendall : You think you scare me ? We ll see who ends up in this house .
J.R. : Oh , yes . Yes , we will . And were nt you just leaving ?
Kendall : Yeah , actually , I was . Well , do nt stay too long . We do nt want to have to fumigate before we move in .
J.R. : Ha - ha - ha . Ooh . Now , do nt you want to show me around our new house ?
Annie : All of your finger tracings become his feathers . Look . Ready ? See ? And , look , you do this little thing for his -- for his eyes . It s a turkey . Uh -- sweetheart , you know that if -- if Mommy ever wants to bring you on a -- on a plane or a train or a bus , I ll come by myself . You know that , right ? Yeah . Mommy would never -- never send somebody else to -- to bring you to me or to , you know , take you on a trip without Mommy . You know that , right ?
Emma : Yeah .
Annie : Yeah . So if anybody ever says that -- that Mommy sent them , they re not telling the truth , ok ?
Emma : Ok .
Annie : Ok .
Dixie : Tad , I was going to call you the minute Emma and I touched down somewhere . You have to believe that . Please -- please believe me . I was nt going to keep you from your little girl .
Tad : I believe you .
Dixie : Greg Madden kept telling me that I would be destroying a family if I insisted on going after Kate . I guess I never let that really sink in . But today I realized that after spending time with Emma , that he was right . That little girl does nt look at me and see what I see . She does nt know that I held her in my body or that I gave birth to her , or that I ve been looking for her all these years . All she knows is her mommy is Annie , and she loves her very much .
Tad : Dixie , you do nt know for sure that that s Kate .
Dixie : You know , just because I made a promise to Annie not to go after Kate does nt mean that you have to go along with it . You have rights to Kate .
Tad : No .
Dixie : You re under no obligation to sign those rights away !
Tad : Stop ! Just stop . I ca nt even begin to think about something like that unless I m absolutely sure that Emma is my daughter , and I m never going to know without a DNA test . So I may never have the answer .
Annie : I know how important that DNA test is for Tad and Dixie . And , honestly , I feel like they re putting me up with Greg Madden for refusing it . But I do nt have a choice . It s out of the question .
Ryan : Because ?
Annie : I m afraid . The test I had done in New York -- I never would ve thought in a million years it would say that she and I do nt share DNA . And what if I allow Tad and Dixie to do a test , and it says that they do share her DNA , and even if that test is a mistake , how will I prevent them from taking my daughter ?
Ryan : Well , you do nt have to sign off on a test . I mean , the judge did rule in your favor . You do nt owe Tad and Dixie anything .
Annie : Yeah , but Dixie had this look in her eyes . Honestly , I felt like I was looking in a mirror for a minute . It was -- it was the same look I had when we were on the run from terry . The kind of look you have when you re afraid you ll never see your child again . Oh . Honestly , I wish I never had to deal with Tad and Dixie again . I wish I could just -- just shut them out of my mind . But that look on Dixie s face -- it just -- it s stuck in my mind , and I do nt -- please tell me what to do .
Ryan : Not my decision to make . Trust your instincts , Annie , I do . I know you re going to make the right decision .
Dixie : At least I got to spend some time with her after she was born . I got to tell her I love her . I wish with everything I have inside of me , Tad , that you had that chance , too . I am so sorry that you never got to hold her . I would give anything to give you that time back . I know I ca nt , but --
Dixie : Kate wore this -- after she was born in the hospital -- on her tiny , perfect head . I want you to have it .
Amanda : I am not Lily . I ca nt count in primes , and I ca nt memorize the dictionary . I do nt take much seriously , let alone literally , but there is one thing that I know . Lily owns a huge piece of your heart that I can never touch . And that s ok , I accept that . But then you need to accept the fact that I do nt need protection like Lily , either . I ve been taking care of myself for years , Jonathan , doing a decent job of it . And I m not in the market for a bodyguard .
Singer : Tell me how
Amanda : I want to find love , and I thought I found it , but it did nt work out .
Singer : In life
Jonathan : So -- so , what , you -- you go and hook up with some boy -- and I emphasize boy -- like Sean Montgomery ?
Amanda : No . No .
Jonathan : I do nt --
Amanda : We did not hook up . Ok , we were talking and having a good time until you swooped down on me like a piece of unclaimed meat . Never again . You want to be my friend and support me , then be my friend and back off .
Kendall : Ok , how much are we worth ? Cash investments , do nt leave anything out .
Babe : And that huge bay window in the nursery -- how great was that ?
J.R. : It s pretty great .
Babe : And did nt you just walk into those empty rooms and think babies , or was it me ? Seriously , we could have our own little dormitory up there -- all those beautiful , sunny rooms filled with our future sons and daughters ?
J.R. : That would be the best .
Kendall : And everywhere you look , there is these beautiful , beautiful trees , and this lush , green grass -- it s so pretty . And I even know where we re going to put the swimming pool . I mean , you are going to teach Spike to swim , right ? And there s a lake . There s this beautiful , beautiful lake and a gorgeous willow tree -- it s the perfect place for an ice skating rink . If you remember , I said that you can teach Spike to play hockey , as long as it s injury - free and civilized . So -- ok , I m going to start counting . Zach , this house is beautiful . It s -- it s perfect . Wait until you see it .
Zach : I like it already .
Tad : By now , she s probably old enough to enjoy sledding in the winter .
Dixie : Huh . Do you think she likes trucks or dolls better ?
Tad : No . I think she s a -- a complete girlie - girl .
Dixie : Yeah , I think so , too .
Annie : I ve changed my mind . Let s take the test -- now .
Kendall : You know , remind me to carry a camera so I can take a picture of J.R. s face when we tell him he s been outbid .
Kendall : We are going to get this place , are nt we ?
Zach : I could sell a kidney on the black market .
Kendall : Well , hopefully , it wo nt come to that .
Zach : Welcome back .
Bianca : Maggie had never been with a woman before me , so I guess she needs to explore , see what else is out there . She swears that she still loves me . She just does nt think that she can be committed to one person right now .
Josh : And you ca nt imagine being with anyone else ?
Bianca : No . I have commitment ceremonies on the brain , like , 24/7 . Maggie and I could nt be further apart in terms of what we want and what we feel .
Josh : So what happens now ?
Bianca : Now I -- I give her space . I hope that she gets it out of her system . I hope that she really misses me and Miranda and that she wants us to come home .
Josh : And if she does come back , all is forgiven , just like that ?
Bianca : If she decides that loving me is her first priority , that she can be faithful , that she wants to be faithful , then , yeah . All is forgiven , just like that .
Josh : Wow . You re a much bigger person than I am , a thousand times bigger than J.R. There s no way in hell that he d be this understanding about Babe having an affair . And when he does realize that I was telling the truth --
J.R. : Yeah , you re right . That -- uh -- master bathroom was enormous .
Babe : Are you ok ? You seem distracted .
J.R. : Yeah , I m just thinking about the house .
Babe : You do nt like it ?
J.R. : I love it . I love it .
Babe : Something is bugging you , though . Is it work ? Is it Josh ?
J.R. : No , it s nothing to worry about .
Babe : No . You promised me that you d never keep anything from me , remember ? And I m holding you to it . So , tell me , J.R. What s on your mind ? I deserve to know .
J.R. : Josh told me you two were having an affair .
Zach : I came for a party .
Josh : Yeah , to celebrate getting away with murder .
Bianca : Kendall is not defending that .
Kendall : Do nt talk for me .
Erica : If you ca nt behave , just go home .
Donny : Osmond family reunions are nothing like this .
J.R. : I still have nt asked you flat out about this affair -- should I ask ?
### Summary:
| Josh tells Bianca that he s certain that after JR finds out that he ( Josh ) slept with Babe , it will end their marriage . Bianca tells him , however , that he should not count on that . She admits that Maggie cheated on her , yet she forgives her . And so it s possible that JR will forgive Babe , she tells Josh . It looks like JR is forcing himself to be ok with what he s heard from Josh . Babe demands to know what is up with JR . And he admits that Josh told him he slept with Babe . Babe has been looking at a house for her and JR to move into . But it looks like Kendall might buy the house out from under Babe . The reason might be because of Babe s decision to dump Kendall s brother for JR . Zach talks to Myrtle about how he sees that Kendall has doubts about him and about their marriage . Dixie and Tad urge Annie to get the DNA test done so they can at least know if Emma is really Kate . At first she refuses , but she later reconsiders . Jonathan expresses his concern when he sees Amanda with Sean . But she tells him that she accepts that he s not in love with her . SO he should stay out of her business . |

### Dialogue:
Jason : I liked it here . And I liked how -- how happy you were . I really did want it to last .
Sam : Do you want to know a secret ? I really never thought it would . You know , you are not the kind of person who likes to take the easy way out . And that part of you -- it goes so much deeper than memory . I knew we were going to go back .

Courtney : I mean , you can see why I d be kind of suspicious , right ?
Jax : Yeah , no , you re entitled to be skeptical .
Courtney : Obviously , the surrogacy -- it just made you realize how badly you want to be a father .
Jax : Well , truthfully , I surprised myself . You know , once Elizabeth was pregnant and the baby was a reality , I became completely absorbed . So now I have to re - evaluate what s important . And whether you like it or not , you re on that list . Why do nt we just forget about children altogether ?
Courtney : I m not sure that s possible .
Jax : Well , Elizabeth wo nt consider being a surrogate again . And you ca nt get pregnant -- which I knew from the start .
Courtney : Jax , are nt we supposed to be moving on ?
Jax : Yes . Yes , in theory .
Courtney : Ok , then why do you keep showing up ?
Jax : Because we have wedding gifts to return , that s why .
Courtney : No , Jax , your assistant could have handled that .
Jax : So could yours . Well , besides , it s more polite this way -- doing it this way . You know , add more fun .
Courtney : Fun ? We are nt supposed to be having fun . I mean , I do nt even know that we re really supposed to be talking to each other .
Jax : I will not tell my lawyer if you do nt tell yours .
Courtney : Jax , why do nt you tell me what you really want ?
Jax : I want us to forgive each other .
Nikolas : Look , I m sorry . I should nt have said that , ok ?
Emily : No , it s ok .
Nikolas : I just never considered that Courtney would get pregnant . I always thought it would be us .
Emily : Courtney could be carrying Jax s child .
Nikolas : Well , the odds are against it , you know ?
Emily : The odds were against Courtney being pregnant at all .
Nikolas : I ca nt wrap my mind around this , you know ? Years ago , I thought Katherine was pregnant , and I was ready to marry her . And that just ended so badly .
Emily : It was another life .
Nikolas : But I just -- even then , it was a sign , you know , not to bring another Cassadine into this world , because the gene pool s obviously tainted .
Emily : Have you mentioned this tainted gene pool theory to Alexis ?
Nikolas : No , no , of course not .
Emily : Wise choice . Maybe it s just an excuse , anyway .
Nikolas : For what ?
Emily : You obviously do nt want to deal with feeding the baby at 3 : 00 in the morning .
Nikolas : 3 : 00 in the morning ? You do nt feed a baby at 3 : 00 in the morning . You do ?
Emily : Nikolas , tell me you re kidding .
Nikolas : Well , do nt they just sleep most of the time ?
Emily : Yeah , 12 hours a day , three or four hours at a time .
Nikolas : Oh , ok .
Emily : You really had no idea ?
Nikolas : Well , no . The servants did nt mention it to me . Nor did my uncle . He was too busy reading -- reading me Greek and Latin mythology . He left out the childcare part . Well , just so you know -- if we were still together , the 3 : 00 A.M. feeding thing would be on you .
Emily : Nikolas , do us both a favor and , I do nt know , do nt talk about what might have been .
Elizabeth : What do you think about this cake ?
Lucky : Is it edible ?
Elizabeth : It s expensive . But I like the way it s frosted .
Lucky : How many layers ? Like , eight ?
Elizabeth : I do nt know . Maybe nine . And obviously , our cake would be a lot smaller , but I think gram and I could copy this look .
Lucky : Listen , I can spring for the cake . It wo nt -- it wo nt look like that , but you wo nt have to bake it .
Elizabeth : Why ? Gram should be good at this sort of thing . And besides , it ll be fun .
Lucky : What , after working a full day at the hospital ?
Elizabeth : You re working as hard as I am .
Lucky : Will we be , like , asleep during our own wedding ?
Elizabeth : I promise to stay awake . At least until we say I do . And then you can take me straight up to bed .
Lucky : Deal . That dress kind of looks like the cake . In fact , it s kind of similar .
Elizabeth : Pay no attention .
Lucky : It s your dream wedding dress , is nt it ?
Elizabeth : This dress probably costs at least as much as one year of Cameron s college tuition -- which we have nt even started saving yet .
Lucky : Listen , just forget about the money . Tell me about your dream wedding .
Ric : Well , you have a reputation for being a reasonable man , Mr. Ruiz .
Mr. Ruiz : I hope so .
Ric : You ve given your family strong leadership for many years .
Mr. Ruiz : Tell me what you want , Mr. Lansing .
Ric : This -- this trouble in Port Charles --
Mr. Ruiz : Oh -- it s upsetting to all of us .
Ric : I m sure you realize that it s being driven by a third party .
Mr. Ruiz : Lorenzo Alcazar .
Ric : Yeah . He s pitting your family -- your sons against my brother . He s trying to make them destroy each other so that he can move in and subsequently take control of Port Charles .
Mr. Ruiz : It s a solid strategy , though it s -- it s unfortunate for you .
Ric : Mr. Ruiz , if Lorenzo Alcazar succeeds , how long do you think it s going to take him before he turns his attention to your Miami holdings ? With all due respect , Mr. Ruiz , I believe that my brother and your family can reach a business arrangement that is mutually satisfactory . We can learn to stay out of each other s way , thereby shut Alcazar out of the picture , form an alliance that is mutually beneficial to both of us .
Mr. Ruiz : It s too late . For me to back out now would show weakness .
Ric : Mr. Ruiz , you nearly lost your son to this war . Your other son , Javier , is risking his life as we speak , as well as my only brother .
Mr. Ruiz : It s the price for doing business .
Ric : If we can find a better way to do business -- if we ca nt stop this fighting , one of us will lose someone we love tonight .
John : If you kill Sonny Corinthos , I ll be your alibi . I ll look the other way . But if you try to set up shop in Port Charles , my town , you re the enemy .
Javier : I offered to work with you .
John : No . No , no , no , no -- you asked for permanent police protection in return for a cut of your profits . I said no . This is a one - shot deal , so to speak , Javier . You go ahead , you kill Sonny Corinthos , then you hop up on your horse and get the hell out of my town .
Javier : Do nt make Sonny s mistake . You re going to need me as a friend .
John : I got plenty of friends .
Man : All hell s breaking loose on 10 .
Second man : Sonny Corinthos booked the entire floor .
First man : It sounds like a fight , possibly gunfire . Call the cops .
John : I m John Durant . I m the district attorney . Do nt worry , I ll handle everything .
Sonny : You ok ?
Reese : Yeah , I m fine , but they re going to come back , you know .
Sonny : Ok , they re going to want to finish the job . They re going to come back soon .
Courtney : There are different --
Jax : Thanks .
Courtney : Levels of forgiveness , you know ? I mean , there s on the surface , polite . There s the day - to - day dealing with each other on a world level of forgiveness , which I think we ve reached .
Jax : What about underneath ?
Courtney : Jax , I think it s going to take us both some time . I lied , so did you . We deceived each other . I mean --
Jax : Yeah .
Courtney : When do you start believing again ? All I m saying is that it would be a lot easier for you to adopt a child if you were married .
Jax : Why not just hire another surrogate if all I wanted was a child ? Which there s no denying . But if we re being honest , you want a child as much as you ever did , too .
Courtney : Yeah , I want a baby . But it s complicated .
Jax : Well , then let s simplify it . Let s try to get back to the way we were before .
Courtney : It s not going to happen , Jax . Look , I have had three failed marriages .
Jax : I certainly hope you re not going to throw me in there with A.J. and Jason .
Courtney : No , no , never . I just -- I m just acknowledging that I m not very good at being married . Ok ? I have all this baggage which I thought I had put down , or at least had under control when we got married , but I was wrong . You know , as soon as the surrogacy started , my insecurities kicked in with a vengeance . And , I do nt know -- I should have asked for help . I should have told you how I was feeling , but instead I just tried to solve it on my own . Does that sound familiar ? Because that s what I do all the time , which is fine and even workable as long as you re not married but , Jax , it is totally unfair to promise to spend your life with someone and -- and then you do nt share it with them . And --
Courtney : God , I m sorry .
Jax : Yeah .
Courtney : I just -- I hurt you , Jax , and you hurt me , too . And if you ask me what I want , I just do nt want us to hurt each other again .
Jax : I do nt want that , either . I m not saying that we should , you know , start over . I m just -- I d like to be around you -- in whatever -- in whatever way that -- that works for you .
Nikolas : I m sorry . I should go .
Emily : No , Nikolas , you do nt have to apologize . Listen , I probably know better than anyone how strange it is for you to think about Courtney carrying your baby . And I want to help , or at least to listen . But there s just a lot going on here at the moment .
Nikolas : Well , if you re referring to Sonny s so - called businesses , that s exactly why I do nt like the idea of you being here .
Emily : Please , do nt , Nikolas . We have separate lives now . We can help each other , but we do nt get to comment on each other s choices .
Nikolas : It s a choice of yours to take care of Sonny s kids ?
Emily : Loving them is . Trying to help while their mother s in the hospital is absolutely a choice .
Nikolas : Listen , I m sorry . I m making you mad , ok ?
Emily : Yeah , you re starting to , and since this wo nt do either one of us any good , why do nt we just agree to disagree ? You and I can just stick to planning Elizabeth and Lucky s surprise wedding and being friends .
Nikolas : Ok . You always were a good friend .
Emily : Ok , well , then as your friend , try to work things out with Courtney . Because this baby , if it s yours , is going to change everything .
Elizabeth : This dress would be way too formal for our wedding .
Lucky : Ok , then why do you have this page marked ?
Elizabeth : I like to dream . Does nt mean I need for it to happen .
Lucky : But what if it could ? What would your dream wedding be ?
Elizabeth : It s embarrassing . I do nt want to tell you .
Lucky : Wait a minute . Are nt engaged couples supposed to share everything ?
Elizabeth : Ok , God . Ok , as long as you understand that it s just a fantasy . I m not hoping for it to come true , ok ?
Lucky : Ok , pure fantasy , no basis in reality . Got it . Spill it .
Elizabeth : Cinderella .
Lucky : You mean the fairy tale ?
Elizabeth : I know I should have gotten over it by now , but I have always wanted to be Cinderella -- in a big , sparkling wedding dress , going to the ball , dancing with the man I love .
Lucky : We danced at a ball . Remember ?
Elizabeth : Yeah . The Bacchanalia at Wyndermere . I remember . Of course , we were nt invited , so you talked me into sneaking over to the island and watching the party from the garden . Those women were so beautiful in those ball gowns .
Lucky : You were more beautiful than any of them .
Elizabeth : Lucky , I was wearing jeans .
Lucky : Does nt matter .
Lucky : I knew right then that you were the most beautiful girl in the world .
Elizabeth : Now , see , that s what matters . Not a dress or a party . The fact that you love me . And that s exactly why I do nt need a Cinderella wedding . Nothing will make me happier than standing in my grandmother s living room looking into your eyes as you say you ll be my husband .
Singer : You and me and you know I d cross the stars for you and I think you would go that far there s nowhere else I d rather be
Reese : It s way too quiet .
Sonny : Yeah .
Reese : Where are the police ? We just shot up the 10th floor of the fanciest hotel in town . Do nt you think anybody heard us ?
Sonny : I booked the whole floor . I booked it so innocent people would nt get hurt .
Reese : Well , what about the people above us or below us ? You do nt think anybody heard what just happened ?
Sonny : The Ruiz family probably has somebody at the cop - shop on their payroll .
Reese : Somebody with enough power to keep the cops from showing up , of course .
Sonny : Probably John Durant .
Reese : Durant hates you , but he hates all mobsters . I really do nt see him in bed with the Ruiz family .
Sonny : Durant s main goal is to see me dead . That way , he can run the Ruiz family out of town before they get too established . So if he gets rid of me , his hands are clean .
Reese : And he gets access to Carly .
Sonny : I do nt want him anywhere near Carly .
Reese : He s probably downstairs in the bar right now gloating .
Sonny : Listen to me . If I do nt make it out of here --
Reese : We re both making it out of here , Sonny .
Sonny : But if I do nt -- if I do nt , I want to make sure Carly s all right . I just need you to go to Justus . He s got it all set up financially . I just want to make sure that if Carly never leaves Roselawn , then my children can visit her . I know I m asking a lot . But I just -- can you promise me that ?
Reese : I promise .
Sonny : Thank you .
Reese : The cops should have shown up by now . We re on our own , Sonny .
Sonny : Ok . Javier s people are going to come back with reinforcements . All right ? They re going to know that we re barricaded here , that we re ready to fight back .
Reese : Yeah , even though we re outnumbered .
Sonny : Ok , we are here like sitting ducks . But there is an option .
Reese : What ?
Sonny : We take the fight to them .
Courtney : Ok . How about this ? Thank you for sharing our special day with us . But I regret to inform you that Jax and I got divorced . P.S. , The gift was lovely .
Jax : It s sweet , to the point .
Courtney : Yeah , but it sounds like we re keeping the gifts .
Jax : Are you sure you want to give all of them back ?
Courtney : You know , most of them have nt even been opened yet .
Jax : I know . What about this ? We loved your wedding present so much , we never bothered to open it . And now we re going to pawn it off to some stranger .
Courtney : We ca nt say that .
Jax : Why not ?
Courtney : Because it s even more rude than getting divorced before we send out the thank - you notes .
Jax : Let s face it -- we re a social disaster of epic proportions .
Courtney : I like that .
Jax : What ?
Courtney : Yes , yes -- Sorry we are such a social disaster , but we really enjoyed your gift , whatever it was . Although , we only really looked at the cool ones , and thank you , anyway . Oh -- oh -- and we ll let you know when the yard sale is .
Jax : The yard -- come again at the yard sale . We do nt have a yard . I mean , you know , you do nt have yard . I did nt mean the we .
Courtney : You know , we really need to get this stuff done .
Jax : Yeah . Why do nt we just donate it , you know , to Mothers Without Means ?
Courtney : You know , that s -- that s a good idea .
Jax : Yeah , I ll just write a nice note and send a bottle of champagne with each note .
Courtney : That sounds great .
Jax : Yeah ?
Courtney : Yeah .
Jax : Ok . I still like your idea about the yard sale . Come find your gift . It s at the yard sale .
Courtney : Not going to happen .
Sam : Jason ? Hello ?
Man : Sam McCall ?
Sam : Yeah . Who s calling ?
Man : I m an officer from the Maui Police Department .
Sam : What happened ?
Officer : Manny Ruiz has escaped police custody . We have reason to believe he ll come after you .
Ric : I appreciate that you wanted to expand your territory , but I also do nt believe that you wanted it to happen this way .
Mr. Ruiz : Manny is impulsive . Shooting up your brother s home was rash , unnecessary .
Ric : Yes , well , that s when the situation did start to escalate . Manny s action forced me into an encounter that none of us wanted . Believe me , Mr. Ruiz , when I say I regret any harm that may have come to your son .
Mr. Ruiz : Thank you .
Ric : A war is about to break out . But you can stop it if you take control of the situation .
Mr. Ruiz : You want me to call off Javier ?
Ric : If you do , I will reason with my brother . We can reach a compromise . But if Javier and Sonny kill each other , we all stand to lose . Is expanding your territory worth losing the life of your son ?
Mr. Ruiz : Get me Javier . Oh . I understand . We re too late . Javier s already moved against your brother . There s no stopping this now .
Sonny : Good . It s all right . Whew .
Reese : Shh .
Sonny : You ready ?
Reese : Yeah . Hey . Oh . Oh !
Nikolas : I should ve called first . I m sorry .
Courtney : No . No , no , no . It s --
Jax : You know what ? We can finish this another time .
Courtney : Let s go ahead and donate those gifts to Mothers Without Means .
Jax : Ok . I ll get started on the cards .
Courtney : Thanks for stopping by .
Nikolas : He brought champagne , huh ?
Courtney : It was just a peace offering .
Nikolas : Did you tell him why you could nt drink it ?
Courtney : Nikolas , I ca nt tell him until after the paternity test . You know , Jax wants to be a parent so badly , almost as much as I do and I -- oh , I have already hurt so many people in this . I m glad that you re here .
Nikolas : Yeah . This baby -- you know , it s the last thing that I expected .
Courtney : There s no pressure .
Nikolas : I know .
Courtney : I can raise the baby alone --
Nikolas : Listen , listen , listen , listen . I came here to thank you for telling me the truth , ok ? And to make it clear that if the baby is mine , that I promise I ll be the best father that I know how .
Sonny : I m here , ok ? It s ok . You did good .
Reese : Sonny --
Sonny : You did real good .
Jax : So , I was walking through the park thinking about everything that went wrong with Courtney and how I got fixated on Elizabeth s baby . Anyway , all this -- all this stuff was going through my mind , and then it hit me . The night of the accident , I -- I caught a glimpse of a woman that ran out in front of the car . And then I realized it was Carly . You re not going to say anything ?
Emily : I was nt there , Jax . I did nt see the accident .
Jax : Well , it makes perfect sense , does nt it ? I mean , Carly was going through that nervous breakdown ; Sonny could nt be bothered to take her to the hospital . Right ?
Emily : That s not exactly what was going on .
Jax : Then what was ? You know the truth , do nt you ? Is Carly the reason Elizabeth lost the baby ?
Courtney : Hi .
Elizabeth : Hi . Is this a bad time ?
Courtney : No , no , not at all . Come in .
Elizabeth : Ok . Thank you .
Courtney : Is everything all right ?
Elizabeth : Yeah , yeah . It s great , actually .
Courtney : Um , can I -- can I offer you anything ? Champagne , ice cream ?
Elizabeth : This is really awkward , so I m just going to come right out and say it . I m sure Nikolas is going to invite you to my wedding . But I think it would make Emily really uncomfortable for you to be there .
Courtney : Elizabeth , I would never want to add any stress or tension to the happiest day of your life .
Elizabeth : Thank you . I appreciate that .
Courtney : You know , I m really happy for you and Lucky . You ve been through so much , you know ? I would never do anything to try and ruin your wedding . I mean , I wish you all the joy in the world .
Elizabeth : Thank you for your understanding .
Courtney : Well , I hope that your wedding is absolutely perfect .
Elizabeth : Yeah . Ok , thanks . Wait . This is all wrong .
Lucky : You all right ? Do nt tell me you want to be alone .
Nikolas : But I do .
Lucky : Too bad . Tell me what happened . Look , I m your brother . We can stand here or we could get into another fistfight or you could just tell me what happened .
Nikolas : I went to see Emily . Ok ?
Lucky : That s good .
Nikolas : I needed her opinion on a few things .
Lucky : Like what ?
Nikolas : Courtney .
Lucky : Oh , you did nt .
Nikolas : Yeah , I know . Completely selfish and unfair . I know that .
Lucky : You think ?
Nikolas : I just -- but Emily was great like she always is . You know , I did nt plan on confiding in her , Lucky . It s just when we re together -- I mean , I ve always been able to talk to her . You know , I guess I just took advantage of that .
Lucky : Listen , I know you love Emily whether you admit it or not . And I guess you have feelings for Courtney . But you ca nt have them both . And you need to decide .
Sonny : Hang on here . Stay with me .
Reese : Just leave me , Sonny .
Sonny : No , I m getting you out of here .
Reese : I m already weighing you down .
Sonny : No , we re both getting out together .
Reese : Just go .
Emily : Does it really matter who ran out in front of your car , Jax ? If it was Carly , she did nt know what she was doing .
Jax : Yeah , because Carly was having a nervous breakdown because Sonny refused to take her to the doctor .
Emily : Sonny was trying to help Carly in the way he felt was best .
Jax : Yeah . Sonny was feeding his own ego and destroyed yet another woman who loves him . That s nothing new .
Emily : Whoever ran out in front of you had no idea that a pregnant woman was in the car . No one meant for Elizabeth to lose her baby .
Jax : It was Carly , was nt it ? That s why you re trying so hard not to tell me .
Emily : Anyone could ve run out in front of your car , Jax .
Jax : I do nt blame Carly . I blame Sonny .
Emily : Why blame anyone ? I mean , dwelling on the accident is nt going to bring the baby back . Reliving the hurt keeps you stuck in the past , Jax . Believe me , I know .
Jax : Yeah , I suppose you do . And you re right -- you know what ? You re right . There s no point in fighting with Sonny . There s no point in looking back .
Emily : You know , it s natural . Everyone does it . But instead of thinking about what might have been , I do nt know -- maybe try to rebuild something good to replace what you lost .
Jax : What if I want back what I lost ? And I m not referring to the baby . I meant Courtney .
Emily : You want to get back together with Courtney ?
Jax : We ve both made mistakes , but I m willing to let go of the past , maybe even try again .
Courtney : Why would it be wrong ? Elizabeth , it s your wedding . You have every right to ask me not to be there . I mean , we have nt really gotten along since Jason and , well , I was part of the whole surrogacy mess , which was awful for you , and as you ve pointed out , Nikolas and Emily are your best friends , so --
Elizabeth : But I am not going to use my wedding to push them together . And as much as I would like to , I can not fix Emily s life nor can I push Nikolas to be with Emily even though I found my way back to Lucky .
Courtney : But you re the Four Musketeers . You have this sort of built - in symmetry .
Elizabeth : Yeah , but that does nt mean that Nikolas ca nt bring you to my wedding . You re in love with him , are nt you ?
Courtney : More than I thought possible in such a short amount of time . Look , I want Nikolas to be happy , which is why I am willing to let him go .
Lucky : You are stringing Emily and Courtney along . It is nt fair to anybody . You have to make a choice .
Nikolas : You do nt understand , ok ?
Lucky : No , Nikolas , it s not that complicated . You and Emily have a chance to get back together if that s what you want , and I hope you do , but if you decide to be with Courtney , you have to decide .
Nikolas : Look , it s not just me , ok ? Emily and Courtney get to choose , as well , and Emily already did , remember ? She chose to end our marriage .
Lucky : Ok , just trust me on this one . Only a woman in love with you would allow you to dump your problems with Courtney on her lap . Listen , you have a chance to get back with Emily if that s what you want , but decide .
Nikolas : Look , I realize that it s unfair to be with someone out of obligation while your heart may be somewhere else and I m not saying that that s me . I m just -- I m just saying that sometimes it s unavoidable , that s all .
Lucky : Would you just forget about duty and honor for once and be true to yourself ? You either want to be with Emily or Courtney . Make a choice .
Javier : I know you re out of ammunition I admire you , Corinthos . It takes a lot of courage for a man to set a trap using himself as bait . It s too bad it did nt work .
Sonny : Do what you have to do with me , but she needs help .
Javier : You misjudged me , and you miscalculated tonight . It s a shame , really , the great Sonny Corinthos reduced to this . You dying in the stairwell of an overpriced hotel . You re a religious man . Start praying .
Sonny : You re the one who should start praying
Javier : I m putting my gun down . You re nobody s hit man anymore . You do nt take orders from Sonny . You re not even in the business . So why kill me ? You got a conscience now . Too much of a conscience to pull that trigger .
Elizabeth : Why let Nikolas go ?
Courtney : Come on , you ve seen him with Emily .
Nikolas : Emily and I have a connection that transcends everything .
Officer : Police . Open the door , please . I m here to guard you until Mr. Ruiz is apprehended .
Javier : You ve got nothing to do with Sonny anymore .
Jason : Is that what you think ?

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Bridget : I ca nt stand this .
Rick : I heard the shower . She s got ta be awake .
Bridget : No , I just -- It s the quiet .
Rick : You know what s weird ? The kids were never really that noisy . I --
Bridget : I m going to go up there --
Rick : Bridget , Bridget ! If Mom needs to be upstairs in her bed , crying in a ball , I think we need to let her do that .
Bridget : Well , it never did me much good .
Brooke : Why are nt you two at work ?
Bridget : Mom ?
Rick : Where are you going ?
Brooke : To prove that I m a fit mother and I can take care of my children . I guess the first thing to do would be to get a job , would nt you think ?
Rick : I m sorry about that raw deal you got at the hearing , Mom .
Brooke : With Stephanie pulling the strings , how else would it turn out ?
Bridget : Mom , when you say you re going to get a job right now , what does that mean ?
Brooke : I realize I trusted the wrong people all these years . Now both of you , I can trust . You -- and Nick .
Eric : Yeah , look at this . Construction costs on the new stores is double what we estimated .
Felicia : Rick and I warned you , Daddy .
Eric : And now we have to buy Brooke out .
Stephanie : Money well spent , as far as I m concerned .
Eric : And who s going to replace her history with this company ? Her name recognition in the industry .
Felicia : Well , people recognize my name these days . And not just from the police blotter anymore .
Stephanie : We do nt need the baggage and the problems that come with that woman .
Felicia : You know how I hate to agree with mother . But ridge was seriously off his game with Brooke around . Every day became about who was behind closed doors with whom .
Eric : Have either one of you given any thought to what s going to happen now ? Brooke is not out of the picture .
Stephanie : Do nt start with that she ll always have a special place in my heart bologna .
Eric : Well , she s not going to sit around and just weep and wail , you know . She s going to land on her feet professionally and we re going to feel it . I was married to Brooke and I can tell you , it s a lot better to have her as a friend than an enemy .
Nurse : Will your husband be joining you ?
Taylor : Not today .
Nurse : Dr. Forrester will be right with you .
Taylor : Okay .
Judge : Would you trust Ms. Logan to take care of your baby ?
Taylor : Uh -- no , I would nt .
Judge : You do nt consider Ms. Logan to be a responsible parent ? Is that your testimony ?
Taylor : In her present state of mind , my guess is -- that was what I was saying .
Taylor : And you know that Brooke has been acting irrationally for months now . And she has put her children in danger . So , I would think that you would want to see her get the help she needs .
Nick : She needs her children back . She can see a shrink and be a mother . She can walk and chew gum at the same time . I m going to head over to the boat and cool off before we say something we both regret .
Taylor : Should I wait up for you ?
Nick : If you get tired , go to sleep .
Taylor : Hey . Busy ?
Nick : Just pretending .
Taylor : I did nt hear you come in this morning .
Nick : I did nt want to wake you up . I did nt know you d be up and out so early today .
Taylor : Well , I moved a couple of appointments up , so I could get over here to the follow - up appointment with Bridget .
Nick : Listen , about last night --
Taylor : No , look , I do nt want to talk about it right now , I just -- I just wanted to hear your voice . Are we okay ?
Nick : We re okay .
Taylor : That s all I wanted to hear .
Nick : You think there s a chance we could put some time aside for just us tonight ?
Taylor : Well , I m just a boring pregnant lady . I think I have all my evenings free . Okay ? I ll see you tonight .
Meriah : Mr. Marone ?
Nick : Yes .
Brooke : Mr. Marone ? Brooke Logan to see you .
Nick : Thank you , Meriah .
Brooke : I want something , and I want it from you . And I want it now .
Bridget : Let s see , go ahead and stand up here for me . Is the nausea still gone ?
Taylor : Uh , yeah . Pretty good .
Bridget : Okay . That s two pounds this month .
Taylor : You think that s enough ?
Bridget : Another 100 calories or so a day definitely would nt hurt . What about sleep ? Are you having any problems ?
Taylor : Oh , no . I think I m sleeping really well . Nick sleeps like a rock , but -- I think I ve been snoring . I wake myself up every now and then .
Bridget : Well , that s completely normal . The increased circulation can swell up the passageways a bit . Can you go ahead and put this on for me ?
Taylor : Bridget . Listen , I want you to know I feel really badly about what happened in court yesterday . I -- I know your mom is nt happy with me .
Bridget : Well , I m sure you did whatever you thought was best . And I know she will , too .
Eric : I m going to talk to Ridge , see if he can get Brooke to come back to work here .
Felicia : Oh , bad idea , Daddy .
Eric : Well , then I ll talk to her . She listens to me .
Stephanie : Absolutely not ! She and I have been at each other s throats for years and I m none the worse the wear , believe me .
Eric : You may want to give that a little more thought .
Felicia : Yeah , I m with daddy on this one . You ve always been awful , mother . But you re even more awful now .
Rick : Knock , knock . Hello , everyone . Dad , sales figures from the second quarter , you asked for them today .
Eric : Good , thanks , son .
Rick : Stephanie , my mom has a closet full of handbags and shoes you might want to take a look at some of those .
Stephanie : Ha , ha . Cheap shot .
Eric : Rick , how is she ?
Rick : How do you think ?
Stephanie : Well , maybe Taylor could giver her a prescription drug to calm her down .
Rick : She is calm , Stephanie . Very calm .
Eric : I want you to talk to her , son . It s not good for Brooke to just be sitting around the house . She needs to work .
Stephanie : Well , there s a street corner down the road that s available .
Rick : Listen , Dad , it s okay . I m not going to even bring it up to mom , unless Nick Marone turns her down .
Nick : Brooke , now about last night --
Brooke : I hope you did nt tell Taylor .
Nick : No , but I m going to .
Brooke : No , there s no need for that .
Nick : Well , I think that she might disagree .
Brooke : Nick , nothing happened . You do nt need to confess .
Nick : Brooke , what s there -- what s always been there is still there between us .
Brooke : Okay , we have a connection . And we always will . But , that does nt mean we need to act on it . Right ? I mean , we re alone now . Does it feel dangerous to you ? Are you thinking that maybe I m going to just throw myself on you at any minute ? Hmm ?
Nick : No .
Brooke : Good . Because if you did feel that way , I would nt be able to ask you this . I need something . I need to work here at Forrester Creations again , with you .
Eric : Damn it ! What did I tell you ?
Stephanie : Taylor s not going to let that happen .
Felicia : If nick wants to hire Brooke , he is nt going to ask permission .
Eric : Yeah , and of course he s going to hire her . He s not a fool .
Stephanie : Why are you so panicked ?
Eric : You have never appreciated her contribution here , and now it s going to come back to haunt us . There s already enough confusion about the Forrester label as it is . Our clientele always follow Brooke . And they re going to follow her right out the door now .
Stephanie : Why are you taking that tone with me ?
Rick : I could answer that question .
Stephanie : It s a good thing you re his son . Or are we even sure of your paternity ? Ric you know what ?
Felicia : Mother ! Look , the point is , if Brooke wants to work for Nick , I do nt see that there s anything we can do about it .
Eric : Look , Brooke has been a part of everything we ve done here for the last 20 years . There s not a trade secret about our company that she does nt know . And she s completely familiar with our new lines . Now Nick s business savvy already has us running . And if he gets her , it may be all he needs .
Stephanie : I just can not believe that Taylor is going to allow that woman to start sniffing around her husband .
Bridget : All right , so I am gon na do , you know , the --
Taylor : Bridget , Bridget . Listen , can we stop ? Obviously , you re angry right now .
Bridget : Taylor , I -- I have to keep the professional and the personal completely separate .
Taylor : I want you to know , your mother was never my patient .
Bridget : Then I think she just got the worst end of both . My mother came to you professionally and you refused her . So , then she talked to you as a friend , and she ended up losing her children .
Taylor : It really hurts me to hear you say that . I did not want to testify . If I had been asked those questions a couple of months ago , or in a different way -- but the judge began by asking me if I would be comfortable at this point in time with your mother raising my child . Okay , and let s be honest . Your mother , she s been all over the place emotionally the last couple of months . I mean , we all get like that . A year ago if somebody had asked me if I thought I was being a good mother , I would have said no . But I did nt get a chance to say those things . I was just told to answer a yes or a no .
Bridget : I ll admit , I ve been a little concerned about my mother lately . But what happened with those kids was not fair . However , maybe it was just the wakeup call that my mom needed .
Taylor : Well , at least with your mother s credentials she wo nt have any trouble finding work .
Brooke : I know what you re thinking -- that you re sick of the boomerang routine . Well , so am I. So I m not doing this because I need a man to love me , or because I ca nt make up my mind . I just need my life back . I need to love me and I need my children . And I need the people who took my children away to realize that I am a force to be reckoned with .
Nick : Do you know how long I have waited to hear you say that ?
Brooke : Yes , I know . You have warned me about the Forresters . You told me that they were using me . That they had no respect for me . And I had so many years invested with them that I did nt hear you . But now , they ve crossed the line and there s no going back . So if you really want to bring the Forresters down , I will help you .
Nick : Well , there she is . You re finally sounding like that woman I fell in love with . Which is why I have to say no . Just because I m a doctor ,
Rick : Throwing herself at Nick is the last thing in the world my mom is going to do right now .
Stephanie : Forgive me , if I m a tiny bit skeptical . I think Taylor will be , too .
Felicia : Oh , I do nt know about that . If I m Taylor , I m thinking this is just what hubby needs to beat the competition .
Rick : And Stephanie , you ve given my mom all the motivation in the world she needs .
Stephanie : Rick , no one can blame me for the children . That s something that the judge decided .
Eric : None of this would have happened if it was nt for you , and you know it . But you testified in there like it was judgment day and you were the right hand of God .
Stephanie : Oh , and it would have been all right if the house had burnt down with the children in it ? That you can just shrug off ?
Eric : Of course it would nt have been okay , but it was a family matter . It had no business being in a court of law . Any other family would have invited Brooke s children over while she pulled herself together , or sent somebody over there to stay with them to give her some time .
Stephanie : You know , you sat in that courtroom and you did nt say one word in defense of your ex - wife , the mother of two of your children . Not one word . But now -- now , when you think it might affect you wallet you mount this sense of outrage . Did it ever occur to you , Eric , in your life , to take a moral stand ?
Eric : A moral stand ?
Stephanie : Yeah .
Eric : A moral stand is what you call it every time you go for Brooke s jugular . You know , I used to think that your moral stands were going to drive me to drink , but now I think it s going to drive me right into bankruptcy court .
Bridget : All right . So , you will up your protein intake , then ?
Taylor : Hey , Bridget , are blue eyes recessive genes ? Are nt they ?
Bridget : Yeah , they re recessive . Why ?
Taylor : I m just hoping that the baby has blue eyes , so it ll look like nick . I do nt remember what it said on the donor s paper about her color of eyes , do you ?
Bridget : Um , you know , chicken and a little salmon . Those are really good , safe proteins for you .
Taylor : Did nt Brooke -- did nt she have a fertility work up here ?
Bridget : Why do you ask ?
Taylor : Well , I was just thinking , I know that when you found out my eggs were nt viable that she was willing to give Nick a child , and she --
Bridget : Well , Taylor , Nick was nt willing to make a life with anyone but you .
Taylor : I think there s been a mix - up .
Bridget : I m sorry . What do you mean ?
Taylor : I had the tea . You have coffee .
Bridget : Right .
Brooke : Why not , Nick ? I thought this --
Nick : Brooke , I have wanted you to work here . I offered you a hell of a deal and you turned it down . Now , you want back . Last night changed things .
Brooke : It did nt mean anything .
Nick : Please . You ca nt deny what is between us . And it does nt fit into a friendship or a working relationship .
Brooke : All right . Maybe there are feelings still there . But you know what ? I do nt have time for it . I only have time to get my children back , and to make the Forresters accountable . I have been the battered wife of the family business for too many years . And now , I m going to be their worst nightmare . I know how this company works . With you , I could make it more profitable than they ever let me .
Nick : Well , maybe so , but I d still have to talk to Taylor about this .
Brooke : Well , you already have . She was already fine with it . Nick , if you tell her about my moment of weakness last night , it s only going to make her insecure . And it s going to give her ammunition . So , when I go into court and try to get my kids back it s going to be more difficult . Please , it s never going to happen again . We both know that .
Nick : All right .
Brooke : Oh , all right ? Thank you . This is great . We re going to make a great team . I mean , you ca nt argue that .
Nick : No , I ca nt .
Brooke : I mean , this is nt really the life that I had imagined with you , but one thing has nt changed . You make me feel like I could do anything . You ll see , Nick . Forrester Creations is going to be our baby .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Mimi : Who in the hell are you ?
Sami : Your conscience . And you really should nt swear . If you ca nt tell Rex about terminating your pregnancy , then I will .
Mimi : [ Thinking ] I ve got ta find out who that guy is . And who told him I had the abortion . [ Thinking ] It had to have been Jan. No one else except Belle and my mother and the doctors even knew . You evil little ...
Jan : What ?
Sami : Damn you , Mimi Lockhart . Such a little hypocrite -- badmouthing me to Lucas when you ve done something a million times worse than anything I ve ever done .
Sami : Oh , my God . Aah ! I ve had it ! This game is over ! You re going down tonight , Mimi . Then again , after all the trouble I ve been through , it would be such a waste to waste it all on Mimi Lockhart .
Brady : I ve missed you so much .
Chloe : I ve missed you so much , too , Brady . I wo nt be that much longer now , I promise . Then the two of us will be back together again .
Nancy : Do nt be so sure . According to this , you and Brady are through ... for good .
Brady : I was supposed to have these figures to Japan two days ago . Damn it ! God , Brady . What s the matter with you , man ? Just focus . Calm down and focus .
Nicole : Why not let me help , Mr. Black ?
Nicole : I ve got just the right thing to help you relieve your stress .
John : Up , up . Up , up . Got it . I got it . One , two , three , four , five . One more . Here we go . Up , up . I got it . Two ... all right .
Kate : Good job . Good job .
John : All right . 30 second recovery . We ll pound out another set .
Kate : No , because the physical therapist said one rotation twice a day , and you ve already done four .
John : Hey , no pain , no gain . Come on , one more set .
Kate : No , that s enough . You re exhausted . So am I.
John : You got ta admit , this is good for us . I mean , you ve got exquisite form , and I have never had a more inspirational trainer in my life .
Kate : Yeah , well , I could work out 24/7 , and that still is not gon na put a dent in my stress level . We re gon na find Philip . We re gon na find him .
Kate : How ? When are we gon na find him ? You had the perfect plan , and you had the I.S.A. , and you had the Marines implementing it , and it was top secret . How did the people holding him -- how did they find out ?
John : That was my fault . I m the one who dropped the ball .
Hope : Hey , Philip s strong , and he s smart and resourceful . And the Marines trained him for -- for any situation . He s not gon na let his captors win .
Belle : You saw that videotape . He just -- he looked so tired . I just -- I miss my mom a lot right now .
Hope : I know you do , honey .
Belle : If you were me , and Bo was the one being held captive , what would you do ?
Shawn - d : She s falling apart . I have to do something to help her .
Bo : The best thing you can do for her right now is just be there for her .
Shawn - d : I can not do that . I can not just sit around and hope that Philip gets rescued . I m telling you , I m gon na go go after him , and I m gon na -- I m gon na save him myself .
Bo : What , are you nuts ?
Shawn - d : I can not just sit here and watch her fall apart . Somebody s got ta do something .
Bo : Somebody is doing something -- the I.S.A. , The Marines .
Shawn - d : And they already blew it .
Bo : Hey , look , I know you wanna help out the woman you love , but you got ta leave this to the professionals .
Shawn - d : No , dad , I have something that they do nt have , something that is sure to bring Philip back home alive .
Like sands through the hourglass , so are the Days of Our Lives .
Chloe : What do you mean , Brady and I are through for good ?
Nancy : Since the tragic demise of the young diva , what now - available hunky heir to a drowned Greek tycoon has been spotted around town comforting his recently widowed 20-something step - grandmother ? Wanna guess who they re talking about ?
Chloe : Is there more ?
Nancy : Oh , yeah . You ai nt heard nothing yet . Sources close to this beautiful blond couple say they re a very hot item -- so hot that even if the tragic diva were still alive ... [ Deep breath ] She d be singing I lost my love to another -- Aria from Puccini s dumped -- because even she could nt stand a chance against the heat generated by the new object of this young heir s affection . Do you see what you re up against ?
Chloe : He does nt mention any names . He could be talking about anybody .
Nancy : Chloe ! Dead young diva , heir to a Greek tycoon , step - grandmother !
Chloe : You should believe the garbage you read in those columns .
Nancy : Sweetheart , are you in total and complete denial ? Chloe , I told you -- I warned you , if you did nt tell Brady that you were still alive , you were gon na lose him for good .
Chloe : Stop it ! Why are you doing this to me ?
Sami : If I were Nancy Wesley -- oh , God , I d rather be Stan the man for the rest of my life . Where in Salem would I go to take my Frankenstein daughter in and get her face repaired ? Not University Hospital -- everyone there knows the Wesley s . She obviously does nt want Chloe to be recognized .
Nancy : This is Clara s friend from the clinic . I brought her up to St. Luke s so that she could hear Clara sing with the choir tonight .
Sami : St. Luke s .
Sami : Yes , hello , sister Mary Margaret . I was hoping you can help me out . I was at your concert earlier . Yes . It was lovely . There was one particular singer that I was really impressed by -- Clara something or other . I lost my program . Yes . That s her . You know , I d love to send her some flowers or something , but I do nt have an address . Thank you , sister . Brace yourself , Nicole . Life as you know it is about to be over .
Brady : Mm . Mnh - mnh . No , absolutely not . I ca nt right now , Nicole .
Nicole : Why not ?
Brady : Because I have so much to do right now .
Nicole : That s the problem , baby . You ve been under so much pressure at titan . Let me help you .
Brady : You really mean that ?
Nicole : Of course I do .
Brady : Great , because I have a lot for you to do . Um , here . Why do nt you look over these import - export numbers , and I ll be back in a few minutes , and we ll all go over it in depth , okay ?
Nicole : Wait , bra-- Brady . Brady !
Brady : I ll be back .
Kate : What do you mean you dropped the ball ?
John : I should have been three steps ahead of the enemy . Because of the pain and the drugs , I was three steps behind him . My concentration is off . That s why they outmaneuvered me . It s my fault that this mission failed .
Kate : No , it s not .
John : Yes , it is .
Kate : No , and I m not gon na let you say that . You and everyone else involved put in the best possible effort that you could . This was always high - risk . You said it yourself . Philip is smart , and he s resourceful , and he s resilient , and he had the very best training , and I have to have faith in him . And have faith in God that he is gon na come back to me because he has to .
John : Yes . You just hold on to that thought cause I m not giving up on him . I think it s time you shut it down tonight . You re exhausted . You ve been through the wringer . Why do nt you try to get some rest ?
Kate : I have nt been able to sleep since Philip was captured .
John : You better try taking a hot shower . And if that does nt work , I ll just have to come up with something else .
John : Damn . I got ta find out where Philip is and who the hell has got him . [ Groans ] Just breathe through it . Breathe . Damn , I need those drugs .
Jan : What the hell is the matter with you ?
Mimi : Everything ! You ruined my life . Now it is your turn to suffer .
Jan : Measles , you are acting very , very strange , even by your standards . Do you wanna tell me what the hell is going on ?
Mimi : Oh , do nt play innocent with me . You know exactly what s going on . You told a complete stranger about my abortion !
Jan : What ? Are you on drugs ?
Mimi : You re the only one who could have told him . I can not believe I let you blackmail me . I should have known you d find a way to destroy my life !
Jan : I did nt tell anyone your dirty little secret -- not yet , anyway .
Mimi : I m warning you , if I lose Rex because you told that creep about my abortion , there will be hell to pay .
Jan : I did nt tell anybody . Besides , what could you possibly do to me anyway ?
Mimi : This .
Jan : Aah !
Bo : Come here . What the hell are you talking about ?
Shawn - d : I do nt wanna get into it right now .
Bo : You d better get into it . How the hell do you think you can find Philip , much less rescue him ?
Shawn - d : It s complicated .
Bo : Yeah , you better believe it is . This is not some computer game . This is a real war in a foreign country with real soldiers and weapons . You get shot , you can not hit the play again button .
Shawn - d : You think I do nt know that ? I m gon na find Philip , and I m gon na bring him home -- wherever they re hiding him .
Bo : You do nt have the skills and training to infiltrate a local gang , much less a gang of hostage - takers in a war zone .
Shawn - d : I also do nt have a choice . I have to do this for Belle so her and I can get our lives --
Bo : What kind of lives are you gon na have together if you get shot and killed ?
Hope : Being married to a cop is nt exactly the same thing , but I do know what it s like to worry every day that your husband goes to work and may never come home .
Belle : Yeah , but as least you and Bo are both cops . And you understand the job . I mean , you re there for each other . I ca nt do anything for Philip except be here .
Hope : Honey , you are here . You re praying for him . That is the most powerful thing you can possibly do . You have to have faith , Belle . You ca nt keep thinking the worst , honey .
Belle : I ca nt help it . Philip probably would nt have volunteered for that mission if it was nt for me . And if he dies , or if he never comes home , I just do nt see how I could ever go on with anybody else .
Shawn - d : I am not going to get myself killed .
Bo : Oh , now you re a psychic as well as a superhero .
Shawn - d : No , I m not . I am your son , which means everything I do will be perfectly planned out .
Bo : Uh - huh , and the marines and I.S.A. -- Their plan was nt perfectly planned out ?
Shawn - d : Apparently not . And besides , I have something that they do nt .
Bo : All right , this -- talk to me . Let me help you out here . What is this special thing that you have ?
Shawn - d : It s not a thing . It s someone .
Bo : What ?
Shawn - d : It s Rex .
Nancy : Sweetheart , I m not trying to hurt you . I m trying to help you . Think back to when you were in the hospital with leukemia , when your hair fell out from the chemo .
Chloe : Yeah , that s gon na cheer me up . You know what ? Brady did nt run away then , and he s not gon na run away now . Yes , your face still is a little scarred .
Chloe : A little ?
Nancy : But that does nt change who you are on the inside . Brady loves you for you , the same way Craig loves me . He wo nt even notice the scar .
Chloe : Nancy , he s not blind . This is not the face he fell in love with .
Nancy : Do you think this is the same face your father fell in love with ? When he looks at me , Chloe , I know that he is looking at the woman he loves . Maybe all men are not capable of doing that , but your father is . And so is Brady . But you have to give him the chance . You have to pick up the phone and tell him that you did not die in that car accident in Austria . You deserve to be happy again , sweetheart . Please , Chloe . Call Brady . You owe it to yourself . And you owe it to Brady .
Brady : All right , Nicole . I think we are ready to -- you re --
Nicole : Naked ? I know . You re a very perceptive guy .
Brady : Am I as perceptive when it comes to the business ?
Nicole : Amazingly so . All the companies titan acquired S.V. are in the black .
Brady : S.V. ?
Nicole : Mm - hmm . Since Victor . We make quite a team , Brady . You know , we ve taken titan to places even your grandfather could never imagine . Japanese investors are gon na be very happy .
Brady : And you ?
Nicole : I m gon na be very happy , too .
Nicole : Now , as acting C.E.O. , I officially declare the business portion of this meeting over and order you to get naked .
Brady : Whoa , what about the staff here ?
Nicole : Oh , the staff . Oh , I gave everyone the night off .
Brady : Ah .
Nicole : I did nt want any unnecessary interruptions while we look at rising profits .
Brady : Well , okay then .
Sami : You re going down , Nicole . Hmm . Soon . First , my boss needs me to make a speedy delivery to John Black .
John : I wanna get clean . But if I do nt do something so I can concentrate , I m never gon na locate Philip and bring him home . I m sorry , Kate , but this is for you and Belle . No , I ca nt be out , I ca nt . Damn . It s got ta be in here somewhere . Come on , come on . Damn it .
Kate : Are you all right ?
Kate : No . You could nt do this -- not again . Not again .
Jan : Do you have any idea how much I paid for this coat ? More than you ve made in your entire life -- and now it s ruined . You re gon na pay for this , Measles , and I do not mean with cash .
Mimi : Oh , bring it on , Jan. Now that you already blabbed about my abortion to that creep , you ve got nothing to hold over my head anymore .
Jan : Like I said before you went all million dollar baby , I do nt know what the hell you re talking about . Who ? Who do you think that I told ?
Mimi : That man !
Jan : What man ?
Mimi : That creepy man who was out here before . You know exactly who I m talking about -- blond hair , blue eyes , mustache , goatee ? He followed me home . He was outside my window taunting me with a baby doll -- your M.O. , Jan. You had to have given him the idea . I tried to follow him , but I lost him . I m sure you already know that .
Jan : Why do nt you just use your brain for a change ? Why would I waste the ammunition that I have against you by blabbing it to a complete stranger ? Huh ? I need that blackmail information so you ll help me keep Shawn and Belle apart .
Mimi : I do nt know why you would do anything , Jan. And I do nt care . But you re not blackmailing me into helping you anymore . I m through . And if your freakoid friend tells rex about my abortion , I ll tell Shawn about the cage I found in your house -- the one he does nt remember being locked up in all last summer .
Jan : Do nt you dare try to threaten me .
Mimi : That s not a threat , honey . It s a promise .
Jan : You know , Mimi . There was a time that I tried to be your friend . I even helped you climb out of that cardboard box you were living in .
Mimi : Oh , are you kidding me ?
Jan : What was my reward , huh ? I lost my baby . I lost Shawn . And I am not gon na lose him again . What the hell s the matter with you , huh ? You got Rex . You got pregnant . Do you have any idea how lucky you were ? Do nt blame me because you re a selfish idiot who decided to lie to your boyfriend and sin against God .
Sami : You should have told Rex about your baby before you selfishly aborted it . Not only have you lied to your boyfriend , but you ve sinned against God .
Mimi : You lying little bitch ! You did tell him . You had to . You set me up , and you re going to pay .
Bo : So Rex is some kind of special weapon ?
Shawn - d : He can find Philip . He hacked into the government s computers , he can do it to the enemy s , too .
Bo : Maybe . Then what ? Neither one of you is qualified to run a rescue mission of this caliber .
Shawn - d : Yes , we may not be Marines .
Bo : Look , I ve been in law enforcement a very long time , I m not qualified to run something like this . It takes a lot of training and experience . And a hell of a lot of planning .
Shawn - d : Yes , we may lack the training and the experience , but I know I can do this . I have to -- for Belle . So I can make things right for her .
Bo : Shawn , I understand you wanna help , but this is not the way .
Shawn - d : Dad , if Philip dies , she s gon na feel guilty for the rest of her life , and I ca nt let that happen . I wo nt .
Bo : Hey . You do nt have a choice .
Belle : Well , as awful as it is having the man you love in danger , I guess it could be worse if we had kids .
Hope : Kids change everything in so many ways . When you and Shawn have children and become parents , you ll understand .
Belle : Well , actually , I ve been doing a lot of thinking about it , and I kind of do understand . And that s why I m not having kids .
Brady : You know , I ca nt think of two people that are more different than you and Chloe . I mean , everything that I loved about her , I love about you .
Nicole : What are you talking about ?
Brady : Well , you re kind , you re loving , you re tough . But underneath , you re vulnerable , just like she was .
Nicole : Wow . I never thought I d see the day when you or anyone else would compare me to Chloe Lane .
Brady : I got ta tell you , Nicole , I am really glad you gave the staff the night off .
Nicole : Me , too .
Nicole : You know , Brady , after everything we ve been through , sometimes I wanna pinch myself . But I m not dreaming , it s true . We re finally together .
Brady : Nothing is gon na ever come between us .
Chloe : You think I do nt wanna call Brady ? That I do nt wanna hear his voice ? But I ca nt .
Nancy : Yes , you can .
Chloe : No . If I m gon na tell Brady that I m alive , I ca nt do it over the phone . I have to do it in person .
Nancy : Then get dressed . I ll get your hairbrush and your makeup , and then we ll head right over to the Kiriakis mansion .
Chloe : But , Nancy --
Nancy : Wear that new blue top .
Chloe : Maybe Nancy s right . You love me for who I am , and not what I look like . And who I am has nt changed . No !
Nancy : What is it ?
Chloe : I ca nt see Brady . I m not ready .
Nancy : Of course you are , honey . Look , I promise you , Brady will be so happy to know that you re alive , he wo nt even notice those little scars .
Chloe : They re not little . They re monstrous !
Nancy : No , they re not .
Chloe : I ca nt do this -- not yet .
Nancy : Okay . Fine . Then you do nt have to . I will .
Chloe : No ! Nancy , come back !
John : It s not what you think . I did nt take any drugs , Kate . They re empty , see ? I was throwing them away .
Kate : Oh , God . I m so proud of you . I know this is nt easy . I know that it takes guts and determination to walk away from this stuff cold turkey . But if you have that kind of focus , you are never , ever gon na be three steps behind anyone ever again .
John : Yeah , that s the plan , is nt it ?
Kate : Yeah . That s the plan . Here .
Kate : You know , when I was in the shower , I was thinking , I was thinking that even though the mission failed , you re absolutely right because Philip is of more value to these bastards alive -- alive than dead . And I know that he s gon na do everything in his power to stay alive until we rescue him .
John : That s right . And we are gon na rescue him . That s a promise .
Kate : I believe that because you re on the case and you re drug free , and I trust you more than anyone in the world . Okay . I m gon na go dry my hair .
John : Okay .
John : Nothing , damn it . Aah , this is crazy . I ve just got ta stop . Just stop . Stop !
John : John Black .
Sami : It s the candy man , John . And I ve reopened shop -- with some very high grade imported sweets .
John : Not interested .
Sami : Of course , you are . You just do nt wanna admit it .
John : I m hanging up now .
Sami : Go ahead . But I ll call right back . Because we both know how much you crave my special treats . They re the only thing that could possibly get rid of all that pain , John .
John : Why do nt you just go to hell ?
Sami : And if you do nt get rid of the pain , you ll never be able to save Philip . And that would devastate poor Kate and Belle . I know you , John . You ca nt hurt the women you love .
John : Listen , you do nt know anything about my life .
Sami : I ll be at the usual spot . But do nt be too long . Supplies are limited .
Jan : I did nt tell anybody .
Mimi : Oh , really ? Then why did you just say the same exact thing he did -- that I betrayed my boyfriend , that I sinned against God ?
Jan : I do nt know -- maybe cause it s true .
Mimi : But no one else knows what I did .
Jan : Look , I really do nt care , okay ? I m freezing . I m going home to change . You know , Meems , there s still one thing that I do nt get . This creepy guy follows you home and shows up on your fire escape with a baby doll . You chase him away , but you still did nt tell Rex . So , you re still lying to your fiancé . It does nt even make sense anymore . I mean , if strangers on the street know your secret , it s just a matter of time before sexy Rexy finds out .
Mimi : Well , if that s true , then your blackmail ammunition against me is going to be useless .
Jan : If that s the case , maybe I should just call Rex right now .
Hope : What do you mean , you do nt want children ? You love kids .
Belle : No , I just meant not anytime soon . I ve learned my lesson about making big decisions without being sure -- especially when they affect other people . I m not making that mistake again . I m gon na be totally positive that I m ready to be a mother . I just -- I wanna finish school , and I wanna get my career started , and I wanna be really secure in my marriage .
Hope : That sounds very smart .
Belle : But until then , my first priority is making things right with Philip . Because until that happens , I ca nt even think about moving on with Shawn .
Bo : I know you wanna bring Philip home , but there s no way you can do this .
Shawn - d : I have to at least try -- for Belle and for me .
Bo : He is a war zone . Can you hear-- let the government handle this . You ca nt go over there and try to rescue him .
Hope : Shawn - Douglas Brady , what are you thinking ? There is absolutely no way I will allow you to do that , do you hear me ? It s insane .
Belle : Your mom s right . If you try to rescue Philip , you ll be killed . I ca nt lose you , too .
Shawn - d : You re right . There s no way I could do what the marines and the I.S.A. could nt . It s just that I hate seeing you so miserable .
Belle : I love that you want to help , Shawn , but it s too dangerous . If I lost you too , I do nt know what I would do .
Hope : Like father , like son .
Bo : Hey --
Hope : We have to stop him .
Bo : He s just blowing off some steam .
Hope : What if he was nt ? What if he really tries to go through with this ?
Bo : He wo nt .
Hope : How do you know ? He s been completely impulsive , completely reckless lately .
Bo : Hope , he promised me tonight he d stop living his life on the edge . You heard him . He knows he d be in way over his head .
Hope : I ve heard you too over the years .
Bo : It s not the same .
Hope : It s exactly the same . Do nt you see ? He gave in too easily . He is playing us , trying to get us to drop it , but he has nt changed his mind , Brady .
Bo : You re overreacting .
Hope : I ve heard that a lot lately , too . I m not overreacting , I promise you . And I need for you to promise me that you will be here to stop him , and not running off with Billie Reed somewhere . Please . Promise me .
Belle : Just promise me that you wo nt do anything crazy , Shawn , please .
Shawn - d : Yeah . I promise .
Chloe : I promise you , Brady , I will let you know I m alive . But it has to be in my own time , not Nancy s . I have to stop her before she tells you .
Nancy : I m sorry , Chloe , but this has gone on too long . It s time that Brady knew the truth -- before you lose any chance of getting him back .
Nicole : Hey .
Brady : Mm .
Nicole : Oh , no , ignore it .
Brady : I ca nt , Nicole . You gave the staff the night off , and I ordered a pizza .
Nicole : Oh . Ooh . The delivery boy s in for quite a shock . You better pray he does nt have a camera phone . Otherwise I know what will be all over the tabloids tomorrow .
Brady : You re just jealous because I look 10 times better in this thing than you do .
Nicole : Whatever . Hurry up .
Brady : I will .
Nicole : Ha ha ha .
Brady : Whoa , Nancy . Hi . What are you doing here ?
Nancy : Um , I m sorry to have disturbed you so late . I ve -- I ve come with important news about Chloe .
Mimi : No , no , you ca nt tell Rex .
Jan : Why not ? Since you re obviously not going to tell him about the abortion , do nt you think he d rather hear about it from an old friend than a stranger ?
Mimi : I d rather you stay out of my life . You re not a friend , Jan. And if I find out that you had anything to do with that guy finding out , you re a dead woman .
Jan : My conscience is clear , Meems . So if I were you , instead of threatening me , I d be more worried about that guy at your apartment right now telling Rex the truth .
Mimi : Oh , no . No , he could nt be .
Mimi : Hey , honey , what s up ? Yeah , my mom s fine . Okay . Yeah . Yeah , I ll be home in a few minutes . We can talk then . Okay . Oh , my God . Oh , please , do nt let him know what I did .
Sami : Ah , come on , John .
Sami : You know you want em .
John : Kate ? Kate ? That s good . You get some sleep . I m gon na do everything I can to find your boy and bring him home . I m not gon na let that punk drug dealer interfere anymore . I do nt know how he knows so much about me , but I m not gon na let him ruin my life . I think it s about time I find out exactly who that piece of scum is .
Rex : There s something I want to say to you .
Mimi : There s something that I want to say to you , too .
Nicole : What the hell are you talking about ?
Brady : That s what I d like to know .
Nancy : Brady --
Brady : What the hell are you talking about , Chloe is still alive ?
John : My God , you re not even a man .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Alison : That is exactly what I needed , was a nice , hot lavender bath . Now , if I could just start my day over again . Oh , my god , Rafe . Pink roses . You really should nt have .
Rafe : Oh , Alison , good . Listen , all this stuff with us and Caleb and the band playing at the fashion show --
Alison : Wait , wait , I -- thank you so much for the flowers . It s really sweet and all --
Rafe : What are you talking about ?
Alison : Look , I know that you and I would both like to magically , like , snap our fingers and make all of our problems go away , but it s not going to happen , really , with just sending pink roses .
Rafe : If I thought to send you flowers , I would have sent you 10 dozen , but I did nt . I did nt send them .
Caleb : See , that s it . The new song will draw in whoever has the ring , and they will bring it directly to me .
Livvie : Ok , using your music is really a great idea , Caleb , but --
Caleb : But what ?
Livvie : Just do nt play at Alison and Rafe s fashion show , please . They are the enemy here , and doing anything in the enemy s house --
Caleb : That just makes it that much more of a surprise .
Livvie : Why not get the song out there some other way , like some way we can control ? On our turf , somehow ? In a C.D. Or on the radio or --
Caleb : Because my way gets the ring back to me the fastest . As long as that ring is in somebody else s hands , anything could happen .
Christina : Look what I found , a pretty ring .
Lucy : Christina , hey , you ve gone a little too far there , punkin head .
Christina : Coming , mommy .
Lucy : Hey , you , you did good . I still can see you , but you re getting a little far , ok ? What were you doing ?
Christina : Nothing , mommy .
Kevin : What can you tell me about this research , anyway ?
Ian : About the research ?
Kevin : Yeah , this stuff you re working on to give you back a normal life .
Ian : Well , that s just that -- we re working on it .
Kevin : Then Lucy still does nt know ?
Ian : Unless you told her .
Kevin : That s why I asked you while she s over there .
Ian : Hospital . Thornhart .
Chris : Hey , get over here now . I just found your four - leaf clover .
Ian : What are you talking about ?
Chris : The research . Hey , I think this is it .
Ian : I ca nt right now , Chris . I ca nt . I m so-- I ll call you back .
Kevin : Is it about the research ?
Ian : It ll wait .
Kevin : Who are you kidding ? It s important . Go ahead .
Ian : I m --
Lucy : Hey . Go -- go ahead where ?
Ian : That was G.H. Ramsey called me .
Lucy : Ram-- Ramsey ? He needs you to go take care of a patient or something ?
Kevin : Well , you know patients , Lucy . When they need someone , they want the big gun on the team .
Lucy : Right . I -- it s all right . You know , if you need to go , you need to go do what you got to do , and we ll be here and we ll be ok . Really , so --
Ian : I ll see you at home .
Lucy : Ok .
Ian : I love you .
Lucy : I love you .
Christina : Bye , Ian .
Ian : Bye .
Kevin : Bye - bye .
Lucy : So , here we are .
Kevin : Yep . Just you and me .
Christina : Let s play show and tell . You first .
Kevin : He just keeps waiting , does nt he ?
Lucy : What ?
Kevin : Ian -- he keeps waiting for the evil Kevin to show his face .
Lucy : He really -- he really is trying , as we all are trying . You just have to give him some time .
Kevin : He s afraid to leave you alone with me .
Lucy : Yes , so , he did , though .
Kevin : With a little prompting . It s ok . But what about you ?
Lucy : No , I am not afraid to be alone with you .
Kevin : Because of Christina ?
Lucy : Yeah , maybe so . I overheard a conversation you had with her when she called to say good night . What it did for me was remind me that you are the one who brought Christina back to me , and you did that selflessly , despite what was going on with us . It was nt about you or me . It was about me and my daughter .
Kevin : She s doing fine , then ?
Lucy : Yeah , she s doing great . So anyway , the point of all that is I just wanted you to know by listening to that conversation , I was reminded how much you do love her and she loves you .
Kevin : I guess I came to my senses a little late , then , huh ?
Lucy : At least you did . You made it happen . I guess you kind of proved dreams can come true .
Kevin : I wish it were only that simple .
Christina : Come true , come true , come true , come true .
Caleb : That s not the plan that s bothering you . You re upset because I did nt tell you first .
Livvie : You told Alison , and then you both went to Rafe . And then , of course , I was the last one to find out .
Caleb : I had to do it my way .
Livvie : That s what I do nt understand .
Caleb : Do nt tell me you are jealous of the ring now .
Livvie : Well , how can a girl compete with a ring that makes all of your wishes come true ?
Caleb : Look at me . You do not need to compete with anything .
Livvie : But if I had that ring --
Caleb : What would you wish for ?
Livvie : I do nt know . I was thinking maybe a very rich , very old man who only had eyes for me .
Caleb : Really ?
Livvie : Yeah .
Caleb : I was hoping that maybe you d be more inclined to wish for something like -- like this .
Livvie : Hmm --
Caleb : Or maybe something like this .
Livvie : No , no . No , uh - uh . I do nt think so .
Caleb : I do nt believe you .
Livvie : Uh - uh , no , I was -- I was --
Caleb : I m not listening .
Livvie : I was thinking more like something I could keep , like some diamonds .
Caleb : Anything you want . But not now . Right now no more wishes .
Livvie : Caleb , I do have one real wish . If I could have anything --
Livvie : I was thinking -- I was thinking I would wish that things could go back to where they all began for us .
Caleb : Close your eyes .
Livvie : I m ready .
Caleb : You are sweet , Olivia . My sweet Olivia .
Alison : Just admit it , Rafe , please ?
Rafe : I swear to you , I did not send these .
Alison : Really ? Then where s the card ?
Rafe : I do nt know .
Alison : Rafe , stop it . You do magical things like this all the time , and most of the time --
Rafe : Alison --
Alison : It s ok , but this time I m just saying --
Rafe : Alison , I --
Alison : It s not going to work . We need to talk .
Rafe : Ok , but I did nt send them . All right ? I did nt conjure them . I m beginning to wonder who did send them . Hmm ? Because I d like to know .
Alison : Ok , look , stop it . Nothing is going to make me stop worrying about this war between you and Caleb , and especially not some magical pink roses , ok ?
Rafe : Wait a second . You re always talking to me about how I always throw Caleb s name into the mix , right --
Alison : Well , yes , you do .
Rafe : Every time something bad happens .
Alison : You do .
Rafe : Ok , ok . But what about you ? I mean , you just show up here with Caleb , talking about him playing in the fashion show . Right ? And now you re just saying , what , it was Caleb made these appear ? Hmm ?
Alison : Here we go again -- Caleb , Caleb all the time .
Rafe : I did nt say that ! I m just repeating what you said !
Alison : Well , you said it first .
Rafe : What are you talking about ? This is stupid ! What are we doing ? This is really stupid !
Alison : No -- I do nt know . Look , you started it . You started this , Rafe .
Rafe : Well , I started it ? I started what ? What are we doing ?
Alison : Ok , ok , do nt worry about it ! Ok , great . Great , great ! Thanks a lot , Rafe !
Rafe : Are you --
Alison : Fine , ok ?
Rafe : I m sorry .
Alison : Look , I do nt want your help , ok ?
Rafe : Are you ok ?
Alison : No , but just leave me alone , Rafe . Just -- maybe you should go .
Rafe : You do nt want my help . That s great . Just tell me what you want , ok , because I do nt know ! I do nt know what you want anymore !
Alison : See , that s it right there . And maybe that s the biggest problem that we have , is you do nt know what I need . I need things to be like they used to be . You know , when we first , like , fell in love , when we were able to trust each other --
Rafe : Yeah .
Alison : And not argue about stupid little things .
Rafe : Yes , I need that , too . I want that , too . I -- I do , I -- I remember the first time I ever saw you .
Alison : I remember the -- the way you kissed me for the very first time .
Rafe : The first time we made love .
Alison : Yeah . And just what we were when we told each other that we would be with each other forever .
Rafe : Oh , I want that . I want it so much . I want you back , you know , the magic , you know ?
Alison : No . No .
Rafe : No ?
Alison : No , no --
Rafe : No , what ? What ?
Alison : No , no . No , no , no , no . No , not all the magic , Rafe !
Rafe : I did nt mean like that .
Alison : No , I do nt want -- oh , god , we were so close ! I do nt want this ! I do nt want the magic --
Rafe : Then what ?
Alison : I do nt want the ring . I do nt want , like , roses that you poofed in the air . I want --
Rafe : I told you , I did nt do that ! I did not do that with the roses !
Alison : Ok , whatever ! Fine ! Then the tooth fairy brought them , or whatever .
Rafe : The tooth fairy -- that s good .
Alison : I -- I just need to leave . Fine .
Rafe : That s good -- tooth fairy . That s great . I did nt do it ! Alison , come on !
Alison : Rafe , you ca nt do this . You ca nt -- every time something goes wrong , you ca nt just , like , throw magic in the air and let it rain down with petals and expect that everything is going to be fixed . You ca nt do that all the time . It just does nt work that way .
Alison : Oh , god , Rafe .
Caleb : Open your eyes .
Livvie : Caleb , it s beautiful . Where are you ?
Caleb : Not far .
Livvie : You know , I love this game .
Caleb : It s one of my favorites . Just follow my voice .
Livvie : Come on , I ll make it worth your while , I promise .
Caleb : Oh , no , you ll have to find me .
Livvie : You know , I think you ll like what s behind the silk .
Caleb : Game s over .
Chris : I divided the cultures , and then I added the trial serum . To that I gave it a growth hormone on the first one , ok ? And I got a growth rate right off the chart . I mean , the thing will live forever .
Ian : All right , what about the second culture ?
Chris : Same serum , but this time I added a growth deterrent , and it fizzled out and died .
Ian : So if you combine the two --
Chris : We get a normal lifespan . So , you know , we d had no apparent side effects and , you know , same results every time .
Ian : So this could work ? I could have a normal life ? A mortal life ?
Chris : Yeah , I mean , but it s just the beginning .
Ian : I know , but we have hope now . It s more than we had yesterday . So now all I have to do is try this .
Chris : No , no , I m not going to let you jump off a cliff without a safety net .
Ian : What are you talking about ? We know it s not going to kill me , so let s do this so I can live a normal life with Lucy , now .
Chris : No , we re not going to rush this , ok ? It s not like you re going to lose Lucy tomorrow .
Lucy : You know , you have made it look pretty simple . I mean , you turned your life around . You re living proof about dreams come true , I guess , huh ?
Kevin : Ever the optimist .
Lucy : Well , yeah . I guess I try . But look at us . We re actually talking , and we may be on the road to being friends again . I did wish that you would go back to being yourself , being the real Kevin , and from what it seems , you have .
Kevin : Now , I ca nt argue with you there , but --
Lucy : But what ?
Kevin : Just things I miss . Simple things that I took for granted .
Lucy : Like what ?
Kevin : Well , frankly , like the way you looked when I would come home at night .
Lucy : Kevin , that --
Kevin : Well , you know , it s not everyone who could say they suffered through one of your tofu turkey Thanksgiving dinners . And the way it felt when we kissed .
Chris : I wish mommy and daddy could kiss , too .
Lucy : I -- oh .
Ian : I could kiss you .
Chris : Ok , you just restrain yourself on that one .
Ian : I will , I will . Just you remember , you ca nt --
Chris : Yeah , do nt tell Lucy , I know . I got you .
Ian : Not until we know for sure .
Chris : Mm - hmm . That s fine . I ll let you know if I have any more brilliant breakthroughs , ok ?
Ian : You re a good man .
Chris : See you later . Dr. Ramsey . George ? No , I think you got the wrong number . Hold on one second . Yeah , I m sorry , is this your phone ?
Chris : [ Russian accent ] Yes , it s my phone . What are you doing with it ?
Chris : [ Normal voice ] Hold on one second . A mistake .
Chris : [ Russian accent ] Yes , hello ? Go away . Phone thief . Yes , can I help you ? Yes , this is George . Oh , so nice to talk to you ! Yes . Oh , an interview ? Yeah , that will be lovely . I love it . Yes . Oh , I know the place . That s on Boulevard . I see you then . Ciao , baby . Ok .
Chris : [ Normal voice ] Ok . All right , Elizabeth , why are fashion reporters calling my phone at the hospital ?
Alison : I wanted to --
Rafe : Alison , wait , wait .
Alison : Please , I just wanted to say --
Rafe : I m sorry .
Alison : I m -- what ?
Rafe : I sent them . I sent -- I sent -- I sent the flowers . I just did nt want to tell you about it , because I , you know , I kind of wanted it to be this kind of funny , anonymous thing , and -- and I just thought , you know , that it would be kind of --
Alison : Thank you .
Rafe : Cute in a weird way , and you already thanked me , anyway .
Alison : Thank you so much for being willing to say anything to end our fight .
Rafe : Well , what do you mean ? I --
Alison : I found this note .
Rafe : Ok . Alison , good luck with the show . Love , mom .
Alison : Sorry . I m sorry about the fight earlier . I was not --
Rafe : Hey , hey , what fight ? You know what ? I do nt remember it . You know what I remember ? I remember that you and me , together -- together , we do nt need magic . You know why ? Because we are magic .
Alison : Right .
Rafe : Yeah .
Alison : How could I have forgotten that ?
Rafe : It s not that . I do nt think you forgot . I just think we needed a little reminder .
Alison : Yeah .
Rafe : I -- I missed you .
Livvie : I want you .
Caleb : Olivia , here .
Livvie : I need you . Do it . Oh -- ah !
Lucy : I do nt want to do this . I -- I ca nt .
Kevin : Ca nt --
Lucy : I -- I do nt --
Kevin : Ca nt what ?
Lucy : I am -- I am so sorry . I have no idea what just happened here .
Kevin : Uh -- you know what ? Do nt worry about it . It s ok .
Lucy : No , no , it s not ok .
Kevin : Yes , it is .
Lucy : I wanted to thank you for being so worried and caring about Christina . That s all this was . I mean --
Kevin : You know what ? You re absolutely right . That s -- that s all it was .
Lucy : It s -- I apologize . I m -- I am very sorry . And we have to go .
Kevin : Yeah , go .
Lucy : Punkin , we need to pack up and get ready .
Kevin : I m going to help you pack up .
Lucy : No ! I do nt -- I do nt need your help ! I m fine . I would appreciate it if you just would go .
Lucy : I --
Kevin : Lucy ? Lucy , it s ok .
Lucy : No -- yeah , it is ok . It s going to be ok , but I m not sure what happened .
Kevin : Lucy ?
Lucy : What ?
Kevin : Your phone .
Lucy : Hello ? It s Lucy Coe .
Ian : How s everything ? Kevin behave himself ?
Lucy : Yeah . Yes . He is . And I m so glad you called . I -- are you ok ? Is everything going fine there ?
Ian : Yeah . You sound frazzled . Everything is perfect here . I just needed to hear your voice , and I wanted to tell you how much I love you .
Lucy : I love you . I do . Stay tuned for scenes from the next Port Charles : The Gift .
Jack : It s time for you to see what everybody else sees .
Reese : Caleb s the boss .
Alison : I m the boss for this particular show . So if Caleb does nt like it , then that s just fine .
Caleb : And I do nt like it .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Jax : Carly , Carly -- it would be so easy .
Carly : It would be so right .
Jax : Look , we re both vulnerable . We want to celebrate the fact that we re still alive . But this -- this would nt be fair to you or me because our marriage is still over .
Spinelli : Most tragic circumstance has thrown a wrench into the romantic idyll that Stone Cold had planned with the maternal one . Yes , it forces a delay , but the -- the interlude of love might easily be rescheduled .
Jason : Forget it .
Elizabeth : Kate getting shot does nt change anything for me .
Claudia : You want me to go to Sonny and offer him our condolences ?
Anthony : Yeah , you ve got lots of experience in making men feel better .
Claudia : Daddy , Sonny s bride was just shot . So why in the hell would he want to see me ?
Anthony : Sonny pulled you out of a burning car wreck and saved your life . The two of you have a connection . Use it . Reassure him that the Zacchara family was not involved in this senseless tragedy .
Claudia : And he s just supposed to take my word for it ?
Anthony : Claudia , you can be very convincing . And this time , honey , you re working with the truth .
Anthony : Tell my daughter she should do this .
Ric : Throwing Claudia at Sonny is the worst idea you can come up with .
Sonny : You do nt need to tell me what I ve done .
Olivia : Then why did you do it ? Why did you put Connie in the line of fire ?
Sonny : You want to say it ? I ll say it . If Kate dies , her blood is on my hands .
Nikolas : Try this .
Nadine : Mm . What is it ?
Nikolas : Cornish hen with fig stuffing .
Nadine : Figs ?
Nikolas : You re not allergic , are you ?
Nadine : Mm -- no . It s just that , when I was a kid , my Aunt Rayleen used to say that figs were an aphrodisiac . You know , they make you --
Nikolas : Make you what ? What ?
Nikolas : Yeah , I know what an aphrodisiac is .
Nadine : She called it temptation food because , when Adam and eve were in the Garden of Eden , Adam wore a fig leaf .
Nikolas : Did anyone in your family ever question Aunt Rayleen s words of dubious wisdom ?
Nadine : Well , there was always some truth to what she said . So do nt get all condescending .
Nikolas : No , no , listen . I have a lot of respect for Aunt Rayleen . She s a creative thinker , much like yourself .
Nadine : What s that supposed to mean ?
Nikolas : Well , you did jump overboard without knowing how to swim .
Nadine : Well , if I had refused , that would have completely ruined your plan .
Nikolas : Plan ? What plan ? Do I look like a man with a plan ? I found out where you were , got on a boat , and improvised .
Nadine : You were wonderful . And I really appreciated it , but I could ve handled it myself .
Nikolas : Nadine , you were stowed away on a Russian gangster s boat without a gun . They were going to kill you .
Nadine : You were worried about me , were nt you ?
Nikolas : Maybe .
Nadine : Well --
Nikolas : I did nt want anything to happen to you .
Nadine : Nothing did . And now we re beside a fire with brandy and figgy stuffing , all because of you .
Nikolas : You should , uh , finish your food so you can get to bed .
Nadine : Where are you -- you going ?
Nikolas : For a ride .
Nadine : For a -- for a ride ?
Elizabeth : What happened to Kate was a tragedy . And I understand that you had to stay with Sonny to help him through it . We can just reschedule our trip for whenever . We have all the time in the world .
Jason : All the time in the world , that s exactly what Sonny said to Kate . Let s go .
Spinelli : The Jackal shall most reluctantly comply .
Elizabeth : Spinelli , can you wait in the lounge . Jason and I need to talk .
Spinelli : The grasshopper of love is much more amenable to that plan .
Jason : This -- this is not a time you should be seen talking to me .
Elizabeth : I do nt want you using what happened to Kate as an excuse to pull away from me .
Jason : Then there s something you need to see .
Sonny : My oldest son was shot because of me , Olivia . I had to make sense of that . Something in my life had to change . So I wanted to start a new life with the woman that I loved , and I convinced myself and her that I could make that happen .
Olivia : Connie believed you .
Sonny : I told her that -- that there was no danger . She believed me . So this is on me . I led Kate into this . But I tell you one thing right now . I swear to you --
Sonny : Whoever s responsible for this , they re going to pay with their lives .
Olivia : Yeah , I m sure if Kate was awake right now , she d be just thrilled to know that some mobster was going to wind up with a bullet in his head .
Sonny : I want justice .
Olivia : Oh , Sonny , have you not learned anything in all this time ?
Sonny : Well , what ?
Olivia : Violence leads to more violence . That s it . People who live in your world need to stay the hell away from people who do nt .
Jason : This could be your future if you stay with me .
Anthony : I thought we were on the same page with recent events , Ric .
Ric : You were nt at the church when Kate got shot , Anthony , all right ? Sonny s consumed with anger and grief . He s likely to lash out at the first person who approaches him , especially Claudia .
Anthony : You re selling Claudia short . Sonny defended Claudia one night in a hotel restaurant when I lost my temper .
Ric : When Sonny is under attack , he divides his life into two factions , allies and enemies . Right now , the Zaccharas are enemies .
Anthony : Exactly why Claudia needs to calm the waters .
Ric : Sonny and Claudia had a one - night stand when he and Kate had a falling out and --
Claudia : Thank you for reminding me .
Ric : I m sorry . I m sorry , but my point is -- my point is that Kate and Claudia do nt like each other . Sonny knows that . He s not going to be receptive .
Anthony : You really got your hackle up about this , do nt you , Ric ?
Ric : No , your objective here is to make sure that Sonny knows that the Zaccharas had nothing to do with the shooting . I think that plan will blow up in your face if you do this .
Anthony : Claudia lied to an entire jury . She convinced them that Logan Hayes tried to rape her and that her brother wound up killing the little monkey to protect her . All that and she was nt even there when it happened . Think about the pathos she could bring to the scene of this crime , unless my confidence in you is misplaced .
Claudia : Ciao .
Ric : Well , that was nt your smoothest move , Anthony , considering the fact that the Zaccharas , namely you , did shoot Kate .
Anthony : Claudia does nt know that . And there s nothing more convincing than a liar who thinks she is telling the truth .
Jax : Carly , a crisis has a way of making priorities clear .
Carly : Yes , that s what happened . I m clear . We belong together .
Jax : We acted in the moment .
Carly : I know . There was a shot and we instantly went to each other . You instinctively tried to protect me .
Jax : It was a reflex . That s it .
Carly : Which proves that we love each other .
Jax : I never questioned that .
Carly : Then what else matters ? Jax , there are no guarantees , okay ? We could live a long uneventful life or we could die tomorrow . Why waste what precious time we have ? What s more important than love ?
Jax : We also have to have happiness .
Carly : We have been happy .
Jax : Yes , but not always . Look , in the day - to - day life of married people , you and I just do nt work .
Carly : No , that s not true . I did nt work . I let myself get pulled into Sonny and Jason s world . And it s never going to happen again .
Jax : You ve said that too many times .
Carly : That s before I was scared straight at the thought of losing you forever . Look what happened tonight . I did nt try and stop the wedding . I do nt care if Sonny is completely devoted to Kate . I do nt care . You have my whole heart . All you have to do is take it .
Jax : Carly , you re saying all the things that I ve ever wanted to hear . It s just too late .
Carly : No , it does nt have to be . There s no divine referee out there that says that we ca nt be back together . We can try again if we want to .
Jax : I -- I do nt want to , Carly .
Carly : You re going to regret it . If we give up now , you re going to regret it . And maybe in a year or five years from now , but you re going to look back and realize that the best time of your life was spent with me .
Jax : Yeah , probably .
Carly : Then why risk it ? We can pick up the pieces and we can be happy for the rest of our lives .
Jax : I know you , Carly . You re not -- you re not content with happiness . There s always a part of you that has to test it . No matter who s with you , they always have to prove their love over and over .
Carly : No , not you . That wo nt happen if you take me back . That s all the proof I need .
Jax : No . I know that you believe that . But as soon as I give in , the clock starts ticking and -- and the time will come when you feel tempted to -- to lie or -- or be unfaithful again . Then you ll have a -- a good reason and you ll probably talk me into forgiving you . I -- I just -- I ca nt go through that again . It hurts too much to be your husband .
Anthony : My grandfather always had a glass of port after a night like this . Several glasses , actually .
Ric : Bride hunting ?
Anthony : They re a lot easier to hit than lawyers . Counselor , I m sensing you re not seeing the brilliance of my plan .
Ric : I just -- your -- your methods , Anthony , are just a little extreme .
Anthony : No , extreme would ve been blowing up the church and everyone in it .
Ric : Oh , well , then let me thank you on behalf of everybody for your restraint .
Anthony : Besides , this is much more devious . I shoot Kate with a Russian rifle . Sonny suspects Karpov and wants Jason to eliminate him . Jason refuses . Sonny allies himself with my family and we bump off Karpov . Then we turn Sonny and he eliminates Jason . The organization reverts back to Sonny and , at our convenience , we bump him off , too . It s beautiful .
Ric : [ Chuckling ] Yeah , that is assuming Sonny does nt see the set - up and come after the Zaccharas instead .
Anthony : No , Claudia is the perfect person to build a bridge of trust with Sonny . We have to make him feel safe with us , Ric . It s a lot easier to bump somebody off if they think they re your friend .
Anthony : Oh , you look like hell .
Johnny : Yeah , you should see the bride .
Anthony : You went to that wedding ?
Johnny : Yup . I thought it would cheer Lulu up to go with me . Genius , right ?
Anthony : The man kidnapped you , John . You should not have gone anywhere near Corinthos , with or without your nut job girlfriend .
Johnny : Relax . I came through without a scratch . But I may have driven Lulu over the edge to compete insanity .
Jason : I just want you to take a look at Kate .
Elizabeth : Jason , it s terrible that she got shot . But you ca nt live your life assuming --
Jason : What if -- what if that was you , Elizabeth ? And what if you were lying there about to leave your sons without a mother ?
Olivia : Okay , so you and the nurse , you got a past . That s your business , all right ? My business is you using my cousin as exhibit a on the dangers of mob life .
Jason : Sorry -- sorry . I hope Kate s all right .
Sonny : Before you go , Jason , just want you to look at her and picture Elizabeth lying there , fighting for her life , and you tell me that you would nt do anything you can to go after the people who did this ?
Jax : You know , I put you and Morgan in the hotel here so nothing would happen to you . It was nt an invitation to get back together . I m sorry .
Carly : I love you . And I ve never felt this way about any man . I m determined to make this marriage work , and you know how I am when I set my heart to something .
Jax : Yeah . Yeah , you re the strongest woman I know .
Carly : Then give us one more try .
Jax : You know , I m making it sound like it s all your fault when I know it s my fault , too .
Carly : Then let s promise each other we can do better .
Jax : I blame you for sleeping with Sonny . I blame myself for not being able to get past it . I know my limits and I ca nt do this . I still think you re the most amazing woman I ve ever met , but I just ca nt be with you .
Jason : You know my reasons why I m not going to make a move .
Olivia : So , you want revenge and you think , somehow , this guy , Jason , is going to get it for you .
Sonny : Stay out of it , Olivia .
Olivia : No . Going after the person --
Sonny : Stay out of it , Olivia .
Olivia : Who shot Connie is not the way to help her .
Sonny : Kate s in that bed because of me . Somebody was trying to send me a message . And I ll tell you right now , I am going to make sure that nobody moves against me or anybody I care about again .
Spinelli : Matters with the maternal one deteriorated into a rancorous dispute ?
Jason : I took her to see Kate to show her why she ca nt be with me .
Spinelli : Yeah -- yes , the Jackal concurs that it is far too dangerous for Stone Cold and the maternal one to rendezvous within the confines of Port Charles . But , fortunately , the grasshopper of love has rebooked their vacation --
Jason : Sonny wants a war , and I may not be able to stop him .
Spinelli : Then perhaps it is wisest for Stone Cold to have some distance .
Jason : Why ? I ca nt leave right now , Spinelli .
Jason : Yeah .
Carly : I need to see you .
Jason : You someplace safe ?
Carly : Yeah , Jax has us at the hotel . He has the whole security team on alert .
Jason : Okay , just stay there . I m -- I m at the hospital doing damage control .
Carly : Jason , what s going on ?
Carly : Who tried to kill Sonny today ? And is his family in danger ? I mean , is Morgan safe ?
Olivia : Sonny , I know my cousin . She does not want the kind of protection that you re offering .
Sonny : Yeah , but if I do nt do anything , it s going to just show a sign of weakness . That means everybody around me and you and her and everybody else is going to be in danger . Is that what you want ?
Olivia : So let me get this straight . Okay , you want to kill the person --
Sonny : Yeah .
Olivia : Who shot Connie .
Sonny : Yes .
Olivia : But this has got nothing to do with anger or revenge . This is a perfectly reasonable way to protect yourself and your family , right ? By triggering a bloodbath . Sonny , I know you . I know you . I know you got the devil s own temper . I ve seen someone hit you . You go freaking berserk . You beat them until they got to beg for mercy or someone s going to pull you off of them . So do nt kid yourself . This is exactly the same thing . This is nt about protecting you or Kate or your family or anybody else . This is about payback .
Robin : Sonny . Honey , I am so sorry . I ca nt imagine how you feel .
Sonny : I m so glad you were nt there because it was -- well , I do nt want to talk about it .
Robin : Yeah , it s okay . Well , I just want you to know , Patrick and I will be on this case every step of the way .
Sonny : This is Kate s cousin . This is Robin . And Patrick s the best neurosurgeon around .
Patrick : Your cousin s condition is extremely serious and she s not stabilized right now --
Sonny : How soon can you operate ?
Olivia : Wait , wait , wait . Once again --
Sonny : Wait for what ?
Olivia : You and Connie did not actually get married , okay ? So that makes me family here . I m making the decisions .
Sonny : Kate needs surgery . Patrick is the best surgeon there is .
Olivia : And I m supposed to take your word for this ? We re talking about my cousin s life here .
Robin : Okay , Kate was about to marry Sonny . I m sure that she would trust him to make this decision for her .
Olivia : Who asked you ? You want to root for the happy couple ? You go right ahead . But Sonny s the one that put my cousin in this room . And I m making it my business to see that she walks out of there .
Robin : Okay , with all due respect , though , you do nt live here . You do nt know the doctors . You do nt know their reputations .
Olivia : I m perfectly capable of doing research .
Patrick : Well , do all the research you want . Get on - line , do whatever you need to do . But do it fast . I need as much lead time as possible to assure a positive outcome on this surgery .
Olivia : So define positive for me . That means she lives , or she lives and she walks ?
Robin : You have every right to be upset . But taking it out on the surgeon is counterproductive . Now , Sonny already knows Patrick , and he --
Sonny : That s okay , it s okay . This is -- you know -- Olivia is entitled to her feelings . Consult with the doctor . Just make sure that you make the right choice for Kate .
Olivia : So let us just assume for the moment that you re as good as you say you are . Okay ? Lay it out for me .
Patrick : The bullet is lodged a fraction of an inch from Kate s spine . The longer it stays in there , the greater the chance of her waking up paralyzed .
Olivia : So , take it out .
Robin : If we go in too soon , Kate could die on the table .
Anthony : Give me that .
Johnny : Well , I m well past the drinking age , thank you .
Ric : Why do nt you listen to your father ? He s trying to help you .
Johnny : Oh , look at what we ve got here . The next generation of yes - men .
Anthony : Lulu is not good for you , John .
Johnny : She s not good for me ? Let me tell you what I ve done for her since I met her . After you tried to kill her , she has been kidnapped , shot at , attacked , and now Lulu has completely lost her mind . She asked me for help , and I just stood there .
Anthony : It s hard for you to understand , but you re better off --
Johnny : I m better off ? Or you re better off ? Oh , yeah , ca nt have your son and heir tied up with an unstable girl because God only knows we Zaccharas are a bedrock of sanity .
Trevor : Andre Karpov is using Kate s shooting as a distraction to land one of his shipments right under our noses . It s time to teach him a lesson . No one , and I mean no one , uses our shipping lanes .
Anthony : What do you think ?
Ric : Let the shipment go through . It ll be another slap in the face for Jason . He might actually take care of Karpov for us .
Anthony : Well , I m not sure we want a war between Jason and Karpov s people yet . What about you ? You want to weigh in ?
Johnny : Oh , no . Sounds like you guys got it covered .
Anthony : Where are you going ?
Johnny : I ll know when I get there .
Jason : I had Spinelli check out the security system that Jax installed . It s good .
Carly : Do we need protection ?
Jason : I do nt think you do . But you know what ? It s better to be safe . I do nt think you and Morgan are in danger .
Carly : Why ? Do you know who tried to kill Sonny ?
Jason : Kate was the target .
Carly : Kate ? Why would anybody want to kill Kate ?
Jason : To send a message to Sonny .
Carly : He gave the whole business to you . Nothing s changed . Everyone around him is still in danger .
Jason : They targeted Kate while she was marrying Sonny for a specific reason .
Carly : You have a lead ?
Jason : Yeah . But it could be taking me and Sonny in the wrong direction .
Claudia : You re Nurse Johnson , are nt you ?
Epiphany : Yeah , that s what it says on my name tag .
Claudia : I need to see Kate Howard .
Epiphany : I m sorry . Visiting hours are over .
Claudia : Um , you were actually on the jury that acquitted my brother . So I have a great deal of respect for you . But you ca nt stop me from seeing Kate .
Epiphany : You re not hearing me , Ms. Zacchara . Ms. Howard is in the ICU , which means only family members are allowed in after hours .
Claudia : Look , I m not here to hurt Kate . I just want to see her .
Sonny : I do nt give a damn what your intentions are . You re not going anywhere near Kate .
Claudia : I m actually here to see you . You look like hell .
Sonny : Get out .
Claudia : Hey , I m sorry . Empathy , it s not my strong suit . But I m honestly so sorry for what happened to Kate , and I just -- if there is anything that I can do , please let me know .
Olivia : I want every piece of information you ve got about my cousin s condition , so that I can make an informed decision .
Robin : Well , these latest test results are hopeful . She s about to be ready to be taken off the ventilator . I have to check on her one more time before we do so . About Sonny , he s not the bad guy in all of this .
Olivia : What s the deal with her ? Is Sonny the one who knocked her up or something ?
Patrick : Actually that would be me . And the deal with Dr. Scorpio and Sonny Corinthos ? They re great friends .
Olivia : I m sorry . I am sorry . I m just a little flipped out about this .
Patrick : Well , you re not a lot like your cousin , are you ?
Olivia : Well , you might be surprised . We had nt spoken in almost twenty years . But I always knew that Connie was okay . You know , the head of a big magazine , on top of the world . You do nt think you have to worry . What could happen to a person like that , right ?
Patrick : I put an O.R. on standby . But I d like to see her numbers go up before I put her through an invasive procedure .
Olivia : She s got to walk , Doc . You got to give her the best odds you can .
Patrick : Sonny s right . I m the best at what I do . And if it eases your mind , I beat worse odds like this on a regular basis .
Olivia : It ll ease my mind if you operate half as good as you run your mouth .
Sonny : My bride is in ICU with a bullet in her spine .
Claudia : I know how you feel . I can see it on your face . Part of you is grieving , but one part of you is seething with rage .
Sonny : I do nt want your sympathy .
Claudia : You saved my life , Sonny . I owe you for that .
Sonny : No , look , look , look , you do nt owe me anything . You need to leave , because Kate would nt want me anywhere near you .
Claudia : I m not your enemy , Sonny . That s all I came here to tell you . My family , our organization , had nothing to do with the shooting .
Sonny : I know who did it . Because if I did nt , I would be coming after all of you .
Claudia : Some life we re in , huh . This life leaves you dead or broken or crazy . Everyone else , everyone you love --
Sonny : I thought I could leave .
Claudia : Well , you ca nt leave . People like us , we ca nt get out . And when you try , it s the ones that you love that suffer .
Sonny : Well , you have an excuse because you were born into this life . I chose it . Now Kate has to pay the consequences .
Jason : Cody retrieved the shell casing . It was a Russian bullet .
Carly : Karpov shot Kate ?
Jason : He denies it .
Carly : Well , of course he denies it . You believe him ?
Jason : Well , if he s not going to admit it , why leave clues that point right to him ?
Carly : Well , then , who do you suspect ?
Jason : Carly , I do nt know . We do nt even have all the facts right now . All I know , Kate was shot on purpose . The only reason it could be is to get at Sonny . This -- this is personal .
Carly : It had to be Karpov . He was mad at Sonny for pulling out of their deal .
Jason : Maybe .
Carly : Now , I spent time with this man . Sending Sonny a message saying , do nt cross me , is exactly what this guy would do .
Jason : Whoever was responsible made a move against Sonny . Not me .
Nikolas : Hey , it s pretty easy to get turned around in this house . And your -- your room is down the hall there .
Nadine : If I sleep down the hall , I ll be alone . And I do nt want to be alone .
Nikolas : No , of course not . You re emotional , you almost drowned .
Nadine : Yeah , I did . And as I was sinking , I thought , I m going to die . And then I had another thought , which was , I never got to be with Nikolas . And then I felt you pulling me to the surface and onto the boat , and I told myself that I was nt going to waste another chance with you . We ve danced around this for so long .
Nikolas : Look , for good reason . I m a terrible risk . I do nt think I can give you what you need .
Nadine : Just stop . Stop talking and stop thinking and just go with it .
Vaughn : You are not going out on the water .
Johnny : I do not remember asking your permission .
Vaughn : Johnny , you re way too drunk to drive a boat . Come on , let me take you home , sober you up , okay ? Ah !
Johnny : Want to bet my own boat can run circles around that Russian freighter , huh ? I ca nt hear you !
Ric : Well -- your father went to bed .
Claudia : Uh - huh .
Ric : So how did it go with Sonny ?
Claudia : Uh , well , he does nt think we have anything to do with the shooting . But he was not in the mood to be consoled . At least not by me .
Ric : Oh , was he too angry ?
Claudia : Mostly at himself , for thinking he could leave the mob and join some white picket fence life .
Ric : He actually said that , huh ?
Claudia : Sonny s not difficult to read . Unlike you .
Ric : I ve been very up - front about my interest in you .
Claudia : When I spoke to Karpov , he was genuinely surprised that Kate had been shot . He had no idea .
Ric : Your father seems to think that Karpov ordered the shooting .
Claudia : Yeah , right . So I m wondering why you re going along with that .
Ric : Well , because it makes sense . Come on , Karpov was angry at Sonny . He wanted payback , right ?
Claudia : It does not make sense , based on the conversation that I had with Karpov . So what -- you do nt trust me ?
Ric : Well , I would if you trusted me .
Claudia : That sounds like a challenge .
Ric : Hey , listen , there s enough chaos brewing right now . And I just want to see -- let it build and see how it plays out for me . And for you . Oh .
Claudia : You re playing with me , Ric .
Claudia : I kind of like it .
Jason : Okay , you and Morgan are going to be safe here . I do nt think you have to worry about anything , but it s better to be careful .
Carly : You do realize Sonny is not going to rest until whoever shot Kate is dead . You know that .
Jason : Carly , that s his choice . I ca nt make any moves .
Carly : Because you think he s wrong about Karpov ?
Jason : It does nt matter either way .
Carly : He s going to want your help . He s probably going to ask you to take out Karpov .
Jason : He already has . I told him no .
Carly : That could nt have been easy for you .
Jason : Well , what am I supposed to do ? Risk the lives of everybody in my organization -- the people who are close to me ? I m supposed to start a war because Sonny is not thinking clearly ? Look , I feel bad for him . What happened to Kate is awful , but we do nt have the facts . If Sonny wants revenge , he s on his own .
Carly : For how long ? He s going to play on your loyalty . He s going to play on your loyalty , and he s going to want you to go after Kate s shooter .
Jason : It does nt matter . My answer is still no .
Carly : Come on , Jason . When have you been able to refuse Sonny of anything ? Even when he s wrong ?
Sonny : Did Dr. Drake answer all your questions ?
Olivia : He has got an ego the size of Long Island . I just hope he s got the goods to back it up .
Sonny : How soon before he operates ?
Olivia : If they operate now she could die on the table . If they wait , she s got a better chance of survival -- bigger risk that she could be paralyzed .
Sonny : I love Kate , no matter what . Nothing could change how I feel about her .
Olivia : Oh , that s sweet , Sonny , but this is not about you . This is about Connie . She s always been beautiful and stylish . And maybe people would say that she s vain or shallow . And you know what ? Maybe they re right . But you know one thing , she is independent . She s not going to be happy coming out of this thing stuck in some damn chair for the rest of her life .
Sonny : She knows how to adjust . Do not take a chance on her life .
Olivia : Like you did ?
Patrick : Kate . Hey , take it easy . You re in the hospital . Sonny s right outside .
Kate : If I die , you have to tell Sonny --
Patrick : No , just rest .
Kate : I should ve told him , even if he hates me . Sonny has --
Patrick : Kate ? Sonny has what ?
Nadine : If you re about to ask me if I m sure , the answer s yes .
Nikolas : I was about to say I ve wanted this for a long time .
Singer : You tell me that you re scared that all your life only you cared I m not about to fold no matter how you re begging I m here for as long as you let me you ll never be alone one step at a time and when you re on your own just close your eyes just close your eyes and I ll be by your side

Kristen : Eve is fine ...
Eve : [ Muffled ] Brady !

Brady : [ Stammers ] What do you mean for the moment ? What have you done with her ?
Kristen : Oh , nothing yet .
Brady : Do nt you play with me , kristen . Talk to me . Where are you ?
Kristen : Lower your voice and listen to me . If you want to see your precious little fiancée again , you re gon na do exactly as I say .
Eric : No one -- can any of us survive kristen ? I mean , she s brought hell on so many of us , and now she s out there . Oh , god only knows what she has planned .
Jennifer : She is so full of hate . I swear , that woman breathes fire .
Eric : Been locked and loaded on my mom for so many years . She blames marlena for everything that went wrong in her own life . What kristen s done to her and to her family ...
Belle : HeY.
Jennifer : Hey .
Belle : Thought you could use these .
Jennifer : Thank you so much .

Rafe : Well , from what brady and eve said ... kristen masqueraded as susan at the wedding . Then you showed up .
Sami : To save my mom .
Rafe : Mm . Uh , they said that kristen threw you the gun . Is that true ?
Sami : I was drugged . Kristen drugged me .
Rafe : Okay , and she also said that ej was still alive and that she would take you to him if you shot john . Is that true ?
Sami : Yes , that part is true . But I did nt pull the trigger !
Rafe : The gun went off in your hand .
Sami : There was a lot of noise and confusion ! And kristen would nt shut up , and then all of the sudden , eric body - slams me , and yes , yes , the gun went off . But I swear to you , I did not squeeze that trigger .
Rafe : [ Whispers ] That does nt make sense .
Sami : I know . It doesnT. I know that , but I ve been over it and over it in my mind a million times , and the only explanation that makes any sense at all is kristen must have rigged that gun somehow to-- to go off on its own .
Rafe : Sami ... sam ...
Sami : I really need you to believe me , here , because it is the only thing that makes sense , because I was not gon na shoot john . I did not shoot my mother ! I would never do that . So it had to be kristen ! You have to prove that this is kristen s fault , because it is nt mine .
Kristen : No comeback , brady ? In the old days , I could nt shut you up . Remember those days , when we were in love ?
Brady : What do you want , kristen ?
Kristen : What I ca nt have , as usual . But who knows ... maybe I can .
Brady : Well , whatever the hell it is , you re not getting it until I talk to eve . Now put her on the phone .
Kristen : [ Laughs ] I always loved that take - charge thing you do . Remember at the wedding ? One lost soul to another . Except it did nt go as planned , did it ?
Brady : Kristen , put her on .
Kristen : What is it with you and those donovan sisters ?
Brady : Now !
Kristen : Fine . Do nt you dare say anything to tip anyone off ... or she s dead . Do you understand ?
Brady : [ Sighs ] I m waiting .
Eve : [ Gasps ] Brady ! Brady !
Kristen : Oh , god , you re as stupid as your sister . The phone s on mute .
Eve : Well , you re not gon na get away with this .
Kristen : Well , so far , I m doing pretty well . Now ... read this as I wrote it . One word more ... and I will kill you .
Eve : [ Exhales tearfully ]
Kristen : Understand ?
Brady : Eve ? Eve , are you there ?
Eve : Brady . I m here .
Will : So ... kristen was going to shoot marlena ... and then she threw the gun to my mom ... and told her to shoot john ... and if she did that , she would take her to ej ... who s -- who s -- who s dead ?
Paul : Yeah , kristen thought that it would be more fun if sami shot john and marlena had to watch him die .
Will : And are you sure that she was just -- that this-- that she was really going to -- like , actually going to shoot john ?
Paul : She was in the motion of turning , and that s when eric tackled her , and then the gun went off .
Will : Well , I dont -- I-- that s -- that s why I dont-- I do nt think she could-- I do nt think she could do that .
Paul : Well , with the drugs ...
Will : [ Chuckles dryly ]
Paul : I mean , w -- okay , and -- and , I mean , what if sami really believed that kristen was gon na take her to ej ? I mean , the guy was the love of her life . And if he s alive ... I mean , you are , right ? I mean , who knows ? I mean , that s --that s A ... just that promise alone , that s a pretty powerful motivation for ... for sami to wanna pull the trigger .
Will : Yeah , um ... yeah , that s -- you re right . Sorry . Kristen obviously used that to bait my mom . And it s not the first time that bitch has come after my family .
Paul : But -- but you donT ... you do nt remember her , right ?
Will : Um , no , I donT. But Ive -- you know , I ve heard-- I ve heard stories , and I ve heard that she has this , you know , personal vendetta against ... against marlena , and it seems like now , she got her chance ... and she used my mom to do it .
Kayla : No sinus rhythm .
Valerie : [ Sighs ] Get me 300 milligrams of amiodarone .
John : Doctors ... do whatever it takes to bring her back right now . You hear me ? You do whatever it takes . You bring her back right now . You hear me ?
Valerie : Yes , john , yes , john .
John : [ Crying ] I love you , doc . Come on .
Rafe : You know , you may not believe this right now , but I m actually on your side .
Sami : Okay , that s great . Then you believe me ?
Rafe : Well ... I need all the facts .
Sami : I told you the facts ! Kristen was holding me hostage . Her goons drugged me . I escaped because I had to go rescue my mom . And the fact is that I stood in front of that gun that kristen was holding to protect my mom .
Rafe : Right . The only problem is , the gun went off in your hand .
Sami : And that s it . In your mind , I m just guilty . Way to be on my side .
Rafe : That s not what I-- I said that I needed all the facts if I was gon na help you , sami . Right now , you know what I have ? I have a hell of a lot more questions , okay ? So you re gon na come with me , you re gon na go down to the station , and you re gon na go on record .
Sami : My mom is about to go into surgery . I m not going anywhere .
Rafe : Kayla will keep us informed .
Sami : That is not the same thing , and you know it . I am staying here until my mom is okay .
Rafe : [ Firmly ] I m sorry , but I have to insist .
Sami : And if I refuse ?
Rafe : Then I ll arrest you .
Will : I still -- I ... I ca nt believe that my mom would ... intentionally shoot john , marlena ... anyone at that wedding . It does -- you know ? It doesnT ... there s no ... no way .
Paul : I mean , the thing is ... there are a bunch of eyewitnesses who think she did . I mean , come on . Sami ... she had ben weston try and strangle you all over again because she thought that d bring back your memory .
Will : Yeah , that was extreme , obviously , but ... she did it because she has such a big heart !
Paul : Wow . I ve never heard that before . It actually sounded like you were defending her .
Will : Well , I -- I think I ve just started to figure some things out about her , that s why . Which is why I -- I do nt believe that she -- she could have done this . Although , the ... there s a lot of things that I ... ca nt wrap my head around right now . I think I remember everything . I think I remember my whole life .
Paul : Will ? What else is it that you ca nt believe ?
Will : Just that while I left the wedding , kristen dimera blew everything to hell and th ... I mean , my -- my grandmother got shot .
Paul : I looked for you everywhere . Where were you ?
Eve : I am fine . Kristen wo nt hurt me as long as you do exactly what she says .

Rafe : All right , enough , okay ? I m taking her down to the station for questioning .
Belle : Good , I hope they lock you up for the rest of your pathetic life .
Sami : Belle , listen to me . I did nt do this !
Belle : I saw you ! I saw you do it !
Rafe : That s enough !
Sami : It s kristen s fault !
Rafe : Okay , stop ! Is there any news on marlena ?
Eric : No . John and steve are with her . They re keeping us posted .
Rafe : [ Sighing ] Okay .

Will : You know , I-- how about this ? I ll tell you -- Ill-- I ll happily tell you everything , but I m very worried about my grandmother right now .
Paul : Yes .

Kristen : And none of that funny business like at the wedding . We do this alone . Just you and me . No cops , no-- no brother to tackle me . Just you .
Brady : I ll be there .
Kristen : [ Chuckles ] I know you will . Because if you re not ... you will never see your eve again .
Belle : Dad ? How is she ? How s mom ?
Steve : She flatlined ...
Eric : No !
Steve : No , no , no , no , just briefly . For a moment there , we thought we were gon na lose her . But I got ta tell you ... with john the room ... you know , talking to her , pulling for her ... he helped marlena stay with us .
Sami : Thank god .
Belle : You do nt even have the right to be here .
Eric : What happens now ?
Steve : Now that marlena s stable ... prepping her for surgery . The bullet hit her lung . They said it s lodged near her heart . But valerie s got this . She s the best .
Sami : John ...
Steve : She s the best .
Sami : John , I m sorry .
Belle : You do nt get to do that . No . You do nt get to cry these crocodile tears and apologize to my father ! You were gon na shoot him , and you hit our mother instead , and now she is fighting for her life because of you !
Eric : This is nt the time or the place .
Sami : I love you . I love all of you .
Belle : When you re not taking a wrecking ball to our lives .
Sami : Belle , this is not my fault . Kristen is the one you should be angry at !
Belle : Sure , cause nothing is ever your fault , sami ! You -- you -- you ki-- you kidnap a baby . You sic a psycho on your son . You shoot our mother . And it s still not your fault . You break people , sami . You break lives , and then you just -- you just walk away and leave it for everyone else to pick up the pieces . Sometimes these pieces ca nt be picked up .
Sami : IM ... so sorry .
Belle : Of all the horrible things you ve done ... I have never been more ashamed to call you my sister .
Rafe : All right , we re done here . Come on . Let s go , sami . Steve , can you keep us posted ?
Steve : Yeah .
Rafe : All right , come on .
Sami : No , wait , john .
Rafe : Sami .
Sami : I just want to see my mom .
Belle : You gave up that right when you shot her .
Sami : You hear her ? If we leave now , she is gon na turn everyone here against me .
Eric : Sami ... no one is against you .
Belle : We wo nt even be thinking about you , sami . Because we ll be on our knees praying that mom makes it through this alive , and maybe you should too . In your cell .
Will : Mom !
Rafe : Come on .
Sami : Will ? Oh , my god , thank god ! Sometimes , bipolar I disorder
Sami : Oh , will , I m so glad you re here . You have no idea . I love you so much ! Oh , my gosh . We are so proud of you .
Will : Oh , for what ? I mean , I just got lucky , so ...
Sami : No . You are a fantastic person , and that s how you ended up with a great partner and ... and such a special little girl . It s because of you .
Will : Mom--
Sami : Despite your dad and I , you grew up--
Will : Come on , hold on . Hold on , I ...
Sami : No . No , you do nt have to try to make it okay for your dad and me . This is your day . This is your day for us to tell you how incredibly lucky we are to have you as a son , and ... and that despite everything , you--
Will : Mom ... [ Stammering ] Can I -- I m sorry , can I say one thing ? Since it s my-- apparently , my day ?
Sami : [ Laughs ] Fire away .
Will : Yeah . Um ... one thing that I learned from you and dad is ... is ... is how important family is . And that is worth fighting for .
Sami : [ Crying ] Oh , I m sorry .
Will : No , it s --
Sami : I just grabbed you and hugged you . I was nt thinking .
Will : It s okay , I ...
Sami : You were nt at the wedding . I did nt see you there . Are you okay ?
Will : Yeah , I ... um , I got a little dehydrated , so I -- you know , I just wanted to step out .
Sami : But you re here because ... you know about ...
Will : Yeah .
Sami : About my mom .
Will : Yeah .
Sami : Okay . So listen . Whatever they tell you , whatever you hear , you have to please , please believe that I was nt myself . [ Stammering ] I was drugged . But ... but I love my mom . I love her as much as I love you , and I would never hurt her . And I did not mean to do this . I would never shoot john either . I did nt do it , but you-- you have to promise me that you ll try to believe me .
Rafe : Sami -- sami , we really need to get to the station .
Sami : Okay , please , just try to understand . Please . Please do nt listen to them . Please try to understand .
Will : I do .
Kristen : Meet me in 15 minutes .
Brady : I m on my way .
Kristen : And brady ? I am looking forward to it .
Brady : [ Sighs ]
Paul : Oh , good , good . You re still here . Is there any word on kristen ?
Brady : [ Sighs ]
Sami : Thank you , will . Thank you . You have no idea how much that means to me , and ... look , again , I m sorry about ... about ben . I know how crazy that was , and--
Will : Oh , it s okay . I ... I actually understand now .
Sami : Mom .
Kayla : Okay .
John : Hey , doc . Insurance that wo nt replace
Belle : Mom ?
Marlena : [ Murmurs ]
Kayla : Listen , I know that you all love her and you want to tell her that , but she s very weak , okay ? So make it brief . All right ?
Rafe : Sam .
Sami : Look , I m not going to the station right now ! I just need to talk to my mom . I need to make her understand--
Rafe : Okay , okay . Can you just ... can you give them a minute ? Please ?
Belle : I love you . We all do . It s really more than that . We need you . Okay ? We need your joy and ... your wisdom and ... you know , the way you always make us feel like everything s gon na be okay . Boy , do we need that right now . And you really , really need to marry dad once and for all .
John : So how does it look ? I need -- I need the odds , and I need to know what she s facing now .
Kayla : Valerie is prepping for surgery right now , and we ll know more when we get into the O.R. But all of you loving her and praying for her ... the odds do nt have a chance .
Eric : You ve given me my strength in my darkest hours . You helped me come back when I thought there was no way to come back . I need you to do that now . For me , for all of us . I want you to come back . So please come back to us .
Will : Hi .
Marlena : [ Exhales happily ]
Will : You were the ... first person to accept me for who I am . To just love me for me .
Marlena : You are such a strong young man . I m so proud of you , and ... your road may be a little bumpy . It wo nt be easy all the time . But you are going to be happy . And no one deserves it more than you do .
Will : You have to come back , grandma . I remember now . I remember you . I remember what an amazing , wonderful woman you are .
Brady : Hope put out an apb . She and abe are all over it , but there s no-- no sign of kristen whatsoever .
Paul : I keep going over it in my head , thinking there s some -- there s some piece of information that I m missing , something that I can do to--
Brady : No , there s -- paul . The pd is on it , okay ? We re just gon na have to wait it out .
Paul : You know , it was real clear that kristen still had a thing for you .
Brady : She s crazy . She s cra -- no , I would not put any stock into what you thought you saw there .
Paul : No , I m -- I m just saying that if she s in trouble ... if she needs help ... I mean , she might reach out to you .
Brady : No , she s not gon na reach ... I doubt that . Listen , what -- what is the word on marlena ? How is she doing ?
Paul : Uh , um , steve called . They re prepping her for surgery . She s got a collapsed lung and the bullet s still lodged near her heart .
Brady : Okay . I need to get to the hospital right now . God knows what this is doing to dad , so--
Paul : I m gon na go with you . I m gon na go with you . Will s there , and I want to be there for the both of them .
Brady : No , no , no . No , you canT.
Paul : Why not ? I dont--
Brady : Paul , cause you need to be here in case some information comes in about kristen s whereabouts , dad would want you here .
Paul : Okay , okay , um ... okay , you re right . I m gon na stay here . Uh , can you just please send them my love ?
Brady : I will .
Paul : Okay .
Belle : How dare you ?
Sami : John ... I d like a chance to talk to my mom , please .
Belle : [ Chuckles bitterly ] No . Nope . Not after what you ve done .
Eric : Why do nt we step over to the waiting room until there s some more news ?
Belle : No , I-- fine . All right . If our mother dies , I will never forgive you .
Sami : [ Softly ] Hey , mom . Hey , it s me . Mom , I love you so much . In terms of treating sensitivity ,
Sami : Hey ... hey , do nt you forget . There s only person I know more stubborn than me , and that is you , right ? I mean , where does everybody think I get it from ? I guess I just missed out on the wise part . But I m working on it . Look , I know I screwed up . Again . So you re just gon na have to get better so that you can lecture me about it , okay ? No , wait , mom , stay awake . I m sorry . I m sorry that I crashed your wedding . I just ... I was just trying to stop kristen . I was just trying to stop this from happening . And I screwed that up ... [ Sobs ] Too . But you re gon na be okay . I love you , mom . I love you so , so much , and I would never , ever ever wanna hurt you , and I m so sorry , mom . I m so sorry that this happened to you . I ... oh , john , I m sorry . [ Sobbing ] I m so sorry .

Ivy : Annulment papers ?
Liam : Yeah . Carter , uh ... had them fast - tracked . Hey , you know , if this is not a good time --
Wyatt : Like it s ever a good time , Liam .
Liam : Wyatt , maybe a little privacy ?
Ivy : So , uh , who should sign first ?
Liam : I do nt know . I mean , do you think it even matters ?
Ivy : Probably not , just as long as we both do .
Liam : Hey , you know , if you need a minute or ...
Ivy : No . Mnh - mnh . I mean , you were kind enough to marry me when I thought I was gon na be deported , so the least I can do is not drag this out . Liam , I never meant for you to feel trapped .
Steffy : I m really trying here , Aly , but you re not making it easy . Again ... I am sorry .
Aly : I m sorry ca nt undo that night . What Taylor took from me ... changed my whole life forever . Dad s , too .
Steffy : Thorne s forgiven my mom . They were even involved briefly .
Aly : No , no , no , no , no . No , he has nt . How could he , after everything she s put us through ?
Steffy : I know about loss , too . My sister , Phoebe -- we were twins ... as close as two people could ever be .
Aly : Not the same .
Steffy : No ?
Aly : Mothers and daughters -- there is a bond like no other . And you still have that with Taylor .
Steffy : And you still talk to Darla .
Aly : Do nt look at me like I m some kind of nut job . But even if I were , that s all on Taylor , just like what happened with Liam and Ivy is on you .
Brooke : We re so glad you re back , sweetheart .
Pam : Both of you .
Rick : Thanks to Maya , we re a package deal . Ridge would have never brought me back if it was nt for her .
Maya : Sweetie ...
Rick : You re right . You re right . We re putting our best foot forward . This is the beginning of a new chapter -- a less contentious one -- in Forrester Creations history .
Pam : Good .
Zende : Are two of Forrester s newest interns allowed to crash the party ?
Brooke : Oh , my goodness ! Are you ... ?
Nicole : That s Zende , Kristen s son .
Pam : She knows who he is .
Brooke : Wow !
Rick : So , you re interning here for the summer ?
Zende : Know a better way to learn the family fashion biz ?
Rick : Not really .
Zende : You must be Maya .
Maya : Yes .
Zende : Heard a lot about you .
Maya : That ca nt be good .
Zende : From Nicole -- all of it good . She s really proud of her big sister .
Rick : We all are .
Brooke : I m trying to figure out the last time we saw you .
Zende : A few Christmases ago , I think . Mom and Dad send their love , by the way .
Brooke : Oh , that s nice .
Rick : That would be Kristen and Tony .
Nicole : Mm . Yeah . I m never gon na live this down now .
Maya : So , you re interning , too , Sis ?
Nicole : Well , I did nt exactly cut it as a model , so ...
Zende : Wait . You were a model here at Forrester ?
Nicole : My sister s the model . I had no idea how much talent it takes .
Pam : That s Nicole s diplomatic way of saying that she sucked .
Brooke : Pam !
Nicole : No , she s right . I sucked . But , thanks to Ridge , I get another chance with this internship .
Rick : So are Maya and I. Thanks to Ridge , we re getting another chance .
Pam : Oh , speaking of which , Ridge wants you at the meeting -- all of you -- so do nt forget it .
Nicole : Oh , Zende and me , too ?
Pam : No , Nicole .
Nicole : I m just kidding .
Zende : [ Chuckles ]
Brooke : What is the meeting about ?
Pam : Oh , no , no , no , no , no , no . I m not telling . I ve been sworn to secrecy . But I ll see you all there . Do nt be late .
Nicole : [ Chuckles ]
Zende : I forgot how much fun Pam can be .
Brooke : [ Chuckles ] Oh , yeah .
Rick : Well , now that Ridge is CEO , merriment and light has once again returned to the hallowed halls of Forrester Creations . What ? I m kidding .
Brooke : [ Chuckles ]
Nicole : Mm - hmm . I ll explain later . [ Chuckles ]
Steffy : Aly , you are blaming me for something that I did nt do .
Aly : Oh , God ! You are so your mother s daughter . You and Taylor never take responsibility for anything !
Steffy : Okay . I want you to listen carefully . Liam and Ivy have --
Aly : No , stop it ! Stop it . I am not a child . I see things . I know things . If it were nt for you , Ivy and Liam would be blissfully happy , and they deserve to be blissfully happy , the way my mother and father do .
Ridge : Hey . Hey , you two . Everything all right ?
Steffy : Uh ... yeah . Yeah . We re -- we re fine .
Ridge : Okay . Meeting s in 10 .
Steffy : Yeah . I ll see you there .
Aly : First I ve heard of a meeting . Can I come ?
Ridge : Sure . We ve got a lot to cover , so we need to ... figure it out .
Aly : Do nt worry , uncle Ridge . I wo nt be a problem .
Ivy : Do you think we win a prize for the shortest marriage on record ?
Liam : [ Chuckles ] I m not sure what that prize would be .
Ivy : Well , I guess it s my turn . You re free .
Rick : Does anybody know what this big meeting s about ?
Brooke : Ridge is being very secretive .
Maya : Well , whatever it is , we should nt be late , especially our first day back .
Rick : We can trust you two kids to be alone ? Behave .
Zende : We ll try to restrain ourselves . [ Chuckles ]
Nicole : Rick and Brooke are really happy that you re back .
Zende : Have to be . They re family .
Nicole : Brooke was married to your granddad , right ?
Zende : Both my uncles , too .
Nicole : And they re still speaking to each other ? Wow .
Zende : Yeah , I know . It s one mixed - up , dysfunctional bunch , but somehow it all works .
Nicole : Well , speaking of work , we should probably get back to it . Or not .
Zende : [ Chuckles ]
Ridge : Okay . Brooke , Maya , Rick . Okay . We re all here . Might as well get started .
Liam : Uh , uh , wait a second . Before we do , there s something you all should probably know . Do you -- should I tell them ? Do you want to tell them ?
Ivy : Uh , no . I ll do it .
Liam : Okay .
Ivy : Uh , I m just gon na keep this short and sweet -- well , bittersweet , I guess . Good news is I m no longer getting deported . [ Chuckles ] Um ... that means my quickie marriage to Liam is over . We just signed annulment papers . So , I am back to being Ivy Forrester , and I am no longer Ivy Spencer .
Steffy : Okay . So ... Dad , take it away .
Ridge : Uh ... okay . Well , uh ... first , I would like to welcome back our beautiful lead model .
Ridge : Starting tomorrow , you re gon na be busier than ever . And , Rick ... props to you for deciding to run Forrester International from here . We re in good hands . Okay . Well , the meeting -- uh , Steffy and I have been working very hard trying to find a new direction for Forrester , and I think we both agree that Hope for the Future is done . We need something new .
Steffy : Yeah . So , we started with a basic premise -- using fashion as a broader social message .
Ridge : And that may not sound exactly new to everybody . It may sound like what Hope for the Future was . Well , we want to expand on the ideas of self- empowerment and self - respect in women and address something that Americans take for granted -- life , liberty , the pursuit of happiness .
Steffy : Yeah . We re talking about freedom -- being able to be your own woman , your own man , because you re free -- free - spirited ... which Californians are known for , right ?
Ridge : Thus the name of this new campaign -- California Freedom . Please open your packet . This campaign is about the incredible female spirit , with bold new designs that say , yes , I value my freedom , and , yes , I will live the life I was meant to have every day .
Steffy : And to express that freedom in a myriad of ways , including what I wear . Naturally , we ll use all facets of Forrester designs -- lingerie , swimwear .
Aly : Whoa , whoa . Wait . Let me get this straight . Bikinis and underwear -- that s your idea of making women feel free ?
Liam : No , Aly . That s not what they re saying . It s about having a --
Aly : And I m assuming that you ll be the one modeling .
Steffy : Yep .
Aly : And you re okay with this ? A father putting his daughter in underwear for the world to see ? It was bad enough having to deal with Rick and Maya running this company , and I had hoped that you would restore Forrester back to its traditional and classy roots . But instead , we re selling sex camouflaged as freedom . You ca nt do this , Ridge . It s -- it s -- it s wrong . It s -- it s disgusting . It s -- it s -- it s exactly what I would have expected from Steffy ... not you .
Pam : Aly , honey , it s okay .
Aly : No . No ! No ! It is not okay ! This is not what your sister , my grandmother , wanted for this company ! This is not what Grandpa wants for this company !
Steffy : Actually , it is . Dad and I ran this by him earlier . He s all - in .
Aly : I do nt believe you .
Ridge : It s true , Aly . I talked to my dad about it .
Aly : Oh he is not your dad ! Massimo Marone is .
Ridge : I talked to my dad about it , and he wants all of us to pull together behind this and help us heal .
Aly : Not if it cheapens the Forrester brand .
Ivy : No . I do nt think Steffy and Ridge are gon na let that happen .
Aly : You re defending her ? ! After all Steffy has put you and Liam through ? !
Liam : This is so not the time for this , Aly .
Aly : No . I walked in on you earlier . I walked in on you -- Steffy sashaying around in her underwear .
Steffy : Aly , we were working on the lingerie line .
Aly : The only thing you were working was your body .
Rick : Aly , sweetheart , I realize I do nt have a lot of credibility as far as you re concerned , and that s understandable . I do know a few things about anger and letting it take control of your life . And I m pretty sure that nobody wants that for you here .
Maya : He s right , honey . I think we all have to learn to live and let live .
Aly : Oh . Great . Now Maya s lecturing me .
Wyatt : No one s lecturing , Aly . We re just saying do nt be so judgmental .
Ridge : Everyone has a right to their opinion . This is just not the time .
Aly : Except every time I try to give my opinion , you all look at me like I m from another planet , as if I am totally out of touch ... all because I feel Forrester s image is -- is veering away from the values that my grandparents instilled in this company ... the same values that my father and my mother , God bless her soul , instilled in me .
Steffy : Aly ... uncle Thorne is a good man , and he is a great father . He and Darla --
Aly : Dont ... you ... dare ! You are not worthy to speak my mother s name ! You are the reason that she s gone !
Ridge : I think that s enough for now .
Pam : Do you want me to go talk to her ?
Ridge : Yeah .
Steffy : No , no , no . No . Let me .
Ridge : Okay .
Charlotte : Kristina mentioned setting up an intern karaoke night sometime .
Nicole : Oh , that sounds fun .
Zende : Yeah .
Charlotte : Oh . Okay . I ve got to go observe in the sewing room and then get back to stocking .
Nicole : Oh . All right .
Charlotte : See ya .
Nicole : Bye .
Zende : Bye .
Nicole : Want to hand me those ? Thank you .
Zende : I wonder how the big powwow s going .
Nicole : I mean , since you re family , I m sure they d let you sit in .
Zende : I do nt want any special favors .
Nicole : Oh .
Zende : What ?
Nicole : You re just not like most guys .
Zende : Why -- because I want to make it on my own ? There are a lot of guys who think the same way .
Nicole : I know . It s just , um ... anyway ...
Zende : By the way , I dig your sister . She s totally cool .
Nicole : And she s totally taken .
Zende : [ Chuckles ] What about you ? You taken ?
Nicole : Anything wrong with waiting for Mr. Right ?
Zende : No . Kind of waiting for Ms. Right myself . I do nt know . Am I looking in the right place ?
Steffy : Everyone s gone . It s just you and me .
Aly : I have nothing more to say to you !
Steffy : Aly , we have to deal with this . Let me help you .
Aly : I do nt want your help !
Steffy : No , wait . Can you just ...
Caroline : I think that if anyone can get through to Aly , it s got to be Steffy . I mean , I know it s a long shot , but she has to try , right ?
Ridge : Have you always been like this -- this annoyingly optimistic ? I never noticed .
Caroline : Oh , wow . Excuse me , sir . I m just the happiest I ve ever been in my life , so forgive me if I want everyone else to feel that way .
Ridge : We creative types -- we have to be brooders , intense , and tormented .
Caroline : Oh , okay . Like this ? [ Muttering ]
Ridge : Are you doing me right now ? Is that me ? Is it ? I liked you better when you re doing the optimistic thing .
Caroline : Do you ? Well , I like it better when you re kissing me .
Ridge : Yeah ? I like that better , too .
Caroline : [ Chuckles ] You have lipstick .
Ridge : I do nt care .
Caroline : [ Laughs ]
Aly : I know a bully when I see one . I have been bullied my whole life .
Steffy : Not by me . That s not who I am .
Aly : Oh , right , cause you re more into wrecking relationships , like Liam and Ivy s .
Steffy : Not this again .
Aly : You -- you tainted what they had , and now you re trying to taint this company . It s just sex , sex , sex with you ! That s all it s about !
Steffy : Aly , just stop ! Stop working yourself up .
Aly : Like you even care .
Steffy : I do care . Only you wo nt let yourself believe it because Taylor s my mom . It was an accident , Aly -- a terrible , unfortunate accident -- and I only wish you could just --
Aly : Oh , just get past my mother s death ? Get past Taylor taking away a little girl s mother ? !
Steffy : You ve forgiven her . I remember that .

Reva : It s me , hello just wanted to let you know that I had my last chemo session today .
Bill : Maybe I ll get my memory back .
Cyrus : Grady , it s me . We need to talk .
Lillian : I m going to get you out of here and home where you belong .
Reva : It s really amazing , I had no idea I had so many friends .
Jeffrey : It s amazing .
Reva : Yeah , it was nice of Buzz to let us use Company . I m sure that was tough for him .
Jeffrey : Yeah , I think it was his way of saying good - bye to the place .
Reva : Yeah . Hard to see him though , I felt so bad . But maybe we made him smile at least for a little while , I hope so any way .
Jeffrey : How about you ?
Reva : Me , I ca nt stop smiling . And the best part was being able to share it with Shayne . And Edmund could nt ruin the day for me , although I thought that for a minute he and Josh might ... I m sorry . Thank you , too .
Jeffrey : You re welcome .
Reva : Thank you . Now , you know , I was nervous about my chemo ending , but now we can have a normal pregnancy , you know , at least as normal as I can be for the two of us , right down to the happy ending .
Jeffrey : Happy ending . You know what , you should say that on camera . Wait a minute . You already did , on that video that you made for the baby .
Frank : Hey , Pop how you doing ? Just cleaning up here . Listen , I talked to Marina and Mallet and they said we can bring over all of our stuff whenever we want , so no worries , okay ?
Buzz : I hope they re okay with this . All of us there under one roof , you know .
Frank : What are you talking about ? Marina s more than okay with this . Are you kidding me ? She s all in her glory . She s able to boss us around and assign us chores . Hey , hey , what s the matter . Come here , come here . Get over here , sit down .
Buzz : I m okay .
Frank : No , you re not . Sit down . Sit down . Pop , you re not eating , you re not sleeping , come on .
Buzz : It s too much to do .
Frank : Why do nt you let me worry about the move , okay ? Seriously .
Buzz : You want to help me , Frank ?
Frank : Of course , I want to help you .
Buzz : Then help me make Alan pay .
Cyrus : Well , Elizabeth Spaulding is nt available . But I can help you . No , I m not her assistant , I m Director of Special Projects . So why do nt you shoot me the specs and I ll look them over . Yeah , it s cfoley@ .... All right . Thanks , bye .
Alan : Director of Special Projects , huh ? Wow . Well , you better enjoy it while you can , because with Phillip back in town , there will be more than enough Spaulding s to handle special projects .
Cyrus : Right , yes . Phillip .
Alan : Yes .
Cyrus : And what if good old Phillip finds out that you knew who kidnapped Lizzie and did nothing about it ?
Alan : Are you threatening me ?
Cyrus : Negotiating .
Lizzie : Cyrus , this just ... what s going on ?
Bill : Bill Lewis .
Grady : I thought you were smart .
Bill : Who is this ?
Grady : You still owe me $ 5 million . You still there ? I tell you what . You forget about finding the kidnaper and we ll call it a wash .
Bill : And if I do nt ?
Grady : Do nt be stupid . Next time , Lizzie Spaulding wo nt be so easy to find .
Bill : Hello ?
Phillip : What now ?
Bill : Lizzie s in trouble . Okay , if you love your daughter , you will work with me .
Jeffrey : I got to admit it was good camera work .
Reva : Jeffrey .
Jeffrey : No , no , it captures the real you , well at least the one that throws a party for herself , puts on a red dress and drives off into the sunset to die .
Reva : You do nt compare that ! I knew I was dying then , Jeffrey . This is different . But if the worse should happen ...
Jeffrey : It s not , okay ? It s not going to happen . But then again you re videotaping your own obituary , so ...
Reva : I m trying to be a good mother . I want our child to see me and hear me and know how much I loved him and his father , to know that I wanted to be there for him when he was growing up . But if I ca nt be ...
Jeffrey : You can ! You can and you will .
Reva : What are you doing ?
Jeffrey : Here , I want to erase it .
Reva : No !
Jeffrey : I will .
Jeffrey : Reva , you are going to be there , okay . You re going to be there for his first birthday , you re going to be there for his first tooth . You re going to be there for all of it , but are you to choose to live . You have to live to see it , okay , not look into some camera and say good - bye !
Reva : You know what , it s funny , when I was making them I thought I was saying hello !
Jeffrey : And you were wrong ! Them ? How many of these did you make ? Reva ?
Buzz : Frank I m not asking you to break the law , I m just asking you to turn your back .
Frank : So you can frame Alan .
Buzz : He taunted , Coop , he deliberately tried to provoke him . Beth heard every word .
Frank : If you do nt let this anger go , you re going to end up destroying yourself .
Buzz : ( Laughs ) I ca nt let the anger go , Frank .
Frank : Dad , it s not going to bring back Coop . You re going to end up destroying yourself . Is that what you think Coop would want for you ?
Buzz : He had a life , he had a future , he had more books to write . He had more love to know . Now he s got nothing , Frank , he s got nothing . And Alan has everything .
Frank : No , you ve got it wrong . Alan is the one that has nothing . He s got nothing , Pop . What , so he s got some money , he s got some real estate now ? He s got Company . Big deal .
Buzz : What have I got ?
Frank : I do nt know , Pop . What ? Me ?
Buzz : Oh , thank God .
Frank : Marina , Daisy , Harley , two great grandsons , and more importantly , you got Coop s memory . Do nt dishonor that . You let Alan wake up every single morning alone , and make him realize that he s Alan Spaulding and trust me , that will be punishment enough .
Buzz : How d you get so smart ?
Frank : Coop was the smart one , I just ended up getting your good looks . Oh , Pop . I love , you , Dad .
Buzz : I love you back .
Frank : So , are we going to end up with this-- stop doing this crazy talk and all this stuff ? What do you say ?
Buzz : I promise .
Frank : Good . You promise me ? Come on . All right . Now , I m going to go upstairs and finish packing . I love you .
Alan : Elizabeth , I was just offering Cyrus my congratulations on his promotion .
Lizzie : Please . Do nt smoke .
Alan : You know , I ve been weighing the pros and cons , and I think that Cyrus is going to prove to be very valuable for us .
Cyrus : Oh , thank you , Alan .
Alan : Especially since your father is back in town .
Lizzie : My father is in jail and he s going to stay there . He s obviously still crazy , Granddad , he showed up at Coop s funeral with a gun , yeah . Makes you look like Santa Claus .
Alan : ( Laughs )
Lizzie : It s not funny . I m scared .
Cyrus : Why do nt we get some dinner , I think we should go out .
Lizzie : Yeah , that sounds great , I ll grab my coat .
Cyrus : Good .
Alan : Cyrus . Do nt think for one minute that I have forgotten what you did to my sister .
Cyrus : Different woman , different plan .
Bill : Okay , look , I know you heard a lot of bad things about me , okay . A lot of it is true . When I came back to town I was on a mission , it was all about business , okay , and I screwed up . I was obsessed with trying to prove to my family that I can handle things on my own . In doing so , I hurt Lizzie . But the same time I was falling in love with her . Okay , but I screwed it up . And I m trying to make things right , okay ? And then she got kidnapped .
Phillip : But you did nt do it ?
Bill : No , I did nt do it . Okay ? But she does nt trust me any more . And she is in danger , Phillip . But she does nt want to hear it if it comes from me .
Phillip : ( Laughs ) And you think she s going to hear it from me ? That s interesting , Bill , because the couple of problems I see there , one , at the moment my daughter thinks that she hates me more than she hates you . And then of course , there s that other problem , that ... I m locked up in jail .
Bill : Right . I just thought there was something that you could do . I mean , she s your daughter , Phillip .
Phillip : Yeah , I know she s my daughter . But from here , my hands are tied . And I do nt know if I trust you , because I do nt know who the hell you are , and I do nt know what you ve been doing and I do nt know how you feel ...
Bill : Forget it , forget it . You know what , you re right . You re right . I do nt know what I was thinking , coming here talking to you , what was I thinking ? I ll handle this on my own .
Reva : It started out as a video diary , I wanted to document every moment of this pregnancy and then I realized that it might be the only thing that our child has of me , and I wanted him to know that ...
Jeffrey : So that first chemo session we went to , and you made that great speech about how hopeful you were and ...
Reva : I was .
Jeffrey : You were , but then you came home , grabbed a camera and started telling your son you were nt going to make it .
Reva : No , I said just in case I ...
Jeffrey : This one Reva , this one . This was the day that we bought the crib . That s the day that was full of hope and joy . But I guess that was just for my benefit , right ? Because while I was piecing that crib together , you were busy telling your son how you really felt .
Reva : No . No , I had both , I had both hope and fear . I just wanted to be able to let him know that if I were nt around I wanted him to know that my love for him would never die .
Jeffrey : Oh , that s beautiful , Reva . That s just-- that s really beautiful . Should be on a greeting card or something . But do nt sell it to me , okay ?
Reva : I m not selling anything ! You want to know why I did nt tell you about those videos , it s because I knew you would make me be brave and strong 24/7 .
Jeffrey : You do have to be brave and strong 24/7 , that s how you re going to beat this thing ! You ca nt give up , you ca nt quit ! Not for one second !
Reva : You think you have to tell me that ? I m the one who rolled the dice and decided to have this baby , when everyone else including you and my doctor told me to terminate . But I m not naive . I know what can happen even if you do nt want to face it .
Jeffrey : I do nt want to face it ? Reva , I face it every day . Every day when I wake up at 4 : 00 in the morning to make sure that you re breathing . Okay ? Every time that I touched your belly , it s to make sure the baby is moving .
Reva : Jeffrey .
Jeffrey : Reva , you know what kind of a man I am . You know what kind of life I live . You know what it took for me to buy into this , to buy into this happy ending stuff . I believed in you , Reva .
Reva : I know . I know it , and I love you for ...
Jeffrey : Well , then how can you prepare to die when I m doing everything I can to make sure that you live ?
Reva : And you do nt think I m fighting ? I m doing everything in my power not to run back to that hospital , and beg them to give me more chemo ! I am hanging on with my fingernails here and I do nt need my husband calling me a quitter .
Jeffrey : Then do nt , do nt quit . And do nt you dare leave me to raise that kid alone , because I m not going to show him those tapes . Because I do nt want him to see what a coward his mother was .
Alan : No , nurse , I do not have an appointment . If you will tell Dr. Graham that I am the man who built the cardiac care unit , I think that that might help .
Rick : That s all very exciting stuff , except Dr. Graham is in surgery , so it will have to wait .
Alan : Rick .
Rick : What is it ?
Alan : My chest .
Rick : Let s go in the examining room so I can take a look .
Alan : Okay .
Rick : Okay , let s knock this out . Sit down please . You own the hospital . Listen to this . Really busy today . All right . So how long has this been going on ?
Alan : Well , it s just been , whoa , that s cold !
Rick : Would you please .
Alan : It just started but I m sure it s not serious , I just wanted to make sure . That s all .
Rick : Just be quiet and breathe .
Alan : What do you hear ?
Rick : Well , let me put it this way . Stick with the cigars , red meat and stress and you should be dead in a week . Six days is too late as far as I m concerned . Good seeing you again .
Reva : Need some advice ? From you , I do . Your daddy said some things that upset me . But he only said them because he was upset , too . Both of us one big raw nerve these past few days and I really wish you could know us when we re normal because we re a lot of fun , and the three of us together are going to have a great time . I want to call him , I do , but there s part of me that says I should just back off and let him calm down . When you get to know me , you ll get to know that I never back away from anything . And in case you have nt noticed , I tend to say things without worrying about the consequences , or sometimes I do nt even worry about them at all , ever . So what do you think I should do ?
Rick : Hello . Wanted to stop by and say hi , but I did nt want to interrupt your , your conversation , I guess , with your imaginary friend ? Oh , look at him . Oh , I did nt now you were talking to this little guy .
Reva : You know what , Rick ?
Rick : What ?
Reva : Maybe you can help .
Rick : What do you mean . Do you want me to go get you a doctor ?
Reva : No , no , no .
Rick : What is it ?
Reva : Maybe you can help me figure out how to be married ! I m used to living on the roller coaster , but Jeffrey got into this marriage for a whole another reason .
Rick : If he knew what he was getting into .
Reva : No , no , he was looking for a different roller coaster ride , he was looking for that one where you throw your hands up in the air when you get to the top and you scream your way all the way down . But instead there we are clinging onto that bar , you know , on that roller coaster , praying to God that we will still be alive when we get to the end of that ride .
Rick : Right .
Reva : He wo nt accept that I may not make it out of this , you know .
Rick : Do you know what s funny about that ? He always struck me as the pessimistic one .
Reva : I m not being pessimistic , I m being realistic . Things have been ... different with Jeffrey , they have . We have nt had a whole lot of time together . And what time we have left together I do nt want to spend having stupid arguments and misunderstandings . I want to do what s best , for both him and this baby .
Rick : Reva , what you do then , is you go home and you live your life .
Reva : Rick ...
Rick : That s all anybody can do .
Reva : ... I finished the chemo , so what if I get the test back and they tell me it has nt helped me . How do I decide the best way to spend the rest of the life I have ?
Buzz : Thanks Tobias . Hello , Phillip .
Guard : Mr. Cooper , about your son , Henry ...
Buzz : Yeah , thanks . I need your help .
Phillip : You know , you re the second person today who said that to me . And I ll point out again , I m locked up in jail .
Buzz : Not any more .
Lizzie : You do nt know how much I hate feeling this way . I love my dad so much . He was my hero . When he changed , it was awful , awful , he tried to kidnap me . My father tried to kidnap me . Just like Phillip . Oh , my God .
Cyrus : We need to get you a drink .
Lizzie : Yes .
Bill : Hey , guys . Glad I found you . Good , because you re the one I need to talk to .
Cyrus : All right , let s go .
Bill : No , no , we re going to do this right here . Here s the deal , Cyrus , I ve been having these dreams .
Cyrus : Are you serious ?
Bill : More like memories of the kidnapping , then again , you know that that s why you re calling me .
Cyrus : I never called you .
Bill : Yes , you did , you called me and you threatened Lizzie . Right . What s the matter , Cyrus ?
Cyrus : I do nt know what you re talking about .
Bill : You do nt know what I m talking about ?
Cyrus : No .
Bill : Well , that s funny , because I have it recorded . And you know what else I remember ? Dog tags .
Cyrus : Oh , really ?
Bill : Yeah .
Cyrus : What these ?
Bill : Yeah , that s right .
Lizzie : I remember that , too .
Bill : And that s your proof , Lizzie , right there . That is the proof he is the kidnapper .
Lizzie : I m really sorry . Would you mind opening your shirt ?
Cyrus : Lizzie , come on .
Lizzie : I m sorry . No scar .
Bill : What ?
Lizzie : It s not him . No .
Nurse : Only when needed , and if your chest pain continues ...
Alan : I , I know the drill . There s nothing wrong with me that someone else s misery would nt cure .
Reva : I m just asking this of you as a friend .
Rick : And I m telling you as a friend , your chemo is over , go home and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy , for goodness sake .
Reva : What if the tests come back and the cancer is still there ? Or what if , what if I do nt make it until the baby is born ?
Rick : What if I cross the street and get run over by a herd of penguins , it could happen , right ?
Reva : ( Laughs ) Now you , now you sound like Jeffrey .
Rick : Hey listen , he s right . You ve done everything you can for you and your baby . You need to relax .
Reva : It s not enough .
Rick : It never enough when you re a parent . So all you are left is to just stay positive , that s it . It does more good than all the drugs and doctors in the world . Okay ? Easy on yourself .
Alan : I know how you feel , Reva .
Jeffrey : Hey , Frank .
Frank : Hey buddy , what s up ?
Jeffrey : Hey ah , you seen Reva ?
Frank : No , no , I have nt .
Jeffrey : Mind if I get a drink ?
Frank : No , no , no , absolutely not . You know what ? I could use one myself . You know what ? It s open . All right . It s a good idea you have there . Do you know what ? We ll let Alan buy us a round .
Jeffrey : ( Laughs ) That s right , I heard your dad has given up the place . Sorry .
Frank : You know what , Jeffrey ? It s just a place , we ll find another one .
Jeffrey : No , I mean I m sorry for the rest of us . Where are we going to come now when we need a drink and we need to talk to someone ? I always counted on your dad .
Frank : Funny thing about that , he thinks no one should ever listen to him , so cheers . So what s going on with you ?
Jeffrey : You got enough going on .
Frank : Jeffrey , here s the deal . You tell me your story and I ll tell you mine .
Jeffrey : Fair enough . You first .
Frank : Okay . It s my dad .
Jeffrey : I know , you must be hurting .
Frank : Well , that s just the thing , he wants Alan Spaulding to hurt even more , and he does nt care how he goes about doing it .
Buzz : It s good to go .
Phillip : Buzz . What do you expect me to do ? You think I m going to go get a gun and shoot my father ?
Buzz : I expect you to do exactly that . Unless you re here to pay a debt to society Phillip : Well , it s a pretty big debt .
Buzz : I expect you to be Phillip Spaulding , not somebody soft and sentimental . That s what I need you to be .
Phillip : Buzz , please . You ve been through hell , just do home .
Buzz : I do nt have a home . Your father took that from me along with my son .
Phillip : And killing my father is not going to bring him back . Look , you know , yeah . I want to get out of here , I need to get out of here for my kids . But ...
Buzz : Then go .
Phillip : No , I m not going to go . If I do this , I m never going to get out of here , I ll never be free .
Buzz : Do I have to get in there and drag you out ? Because I will .
Phillip : Please ... hey . Sit down . Guard !
Buzz : No !
Phillip : Buzz ! Do you see what you re doing ? You think Coop would have wanted this ? You think he wants you to kill yourself .
Buzz : I want justice .
Phillip : Come on , Buzz . You know better than that . Justice is what they give you when they ca nt give you back what you lost .
Buzz : I want my son back .
Phillip : Sometimes I think that this is just one battle that we re all destined to lose .
Buzz : Well , I lost my share .
Phillip : I know you have , we all have .
Buzz : My son was a winner , he had books , he had students , he had a laugh , and I can still ... he loved Beth .
Phillip : I know . I understand .
Buzz : You think he deserved to die ?
Phillip : Oh , my God , no .
Buzz : Well , he s gone just like that .
Phillip : But you know , his books do nt die . And his students go on , and your love for him is ...
Buzz : You stay here and rot , I do nt care .
Phillip : Buzz , Buzz ! Do nt make it any worse than it is .
Jeffrey : You know , we got to do something . We got to stop worrying and do something that guys do .
Frank : Um , okay . Well , let s see , guys play poker , they watch football , basketball , baseball . They play golf .
Jeffrey : No , it s too cold for golf . I do nt know , I feel like shooting something , you know ? Maybe we should go to the shooting range or something .
Frank : Ah , well , hmm . You know what ? You just gave me an idea . Hold on one second . Go to the end of the bar .
Jeffrey : Okay .
Frank : We ll just test your luck at this little game right here .
Jeffrey : What , you do nt think I can knock those down ?
Frank : No , you want to shoot something , shoot at these babies . Go .
Jeffrey : Are you sure ? I m going to make a mess here .
Frank : Do nt worry about it . Alan owns the joint now , so fire it away .
Jeffrey : All right . I got em all , my friend .
Frank : Yes you did ! You left me nothing . ( Laughs ) What s going on with you ?
Jeffrey : She s scared , Frank , and so am I.
Frank : Reva ?
Jeffrey : Not just about losing her , but what if this kid grows up with no mother , no one to count on , except for me .
Frank : What exactly are you afraid of , that you ca nt take care of this baby on your own , or that you can ?
Alan : Your hopes , your dreams , all the plans you are for the people you love , all come to dust .
Reva : I do nt believe that .
Alan : Is nt that what you were just telling Rick earlier ?
Reva : That was confidential .
Alan : Reva , I can read you like a book . You are staring death right in the face and it s staring back at you .
Reva : That s true for everyone , whether they know it or not .
Alan : Fine . Some people turn to religion , others to their faith . But to you and I , we know how it works , yeah . We take all we can from this life and leave the next life to the losers .
Reva : I ca nt live in a world like that .
Alan : It s the only kind of world there is . Even Buzz is coming around to my point of view .
Bill : All right . So maybe he got plastic surgery or something .
Lizzie : Stop , stop , you sound like an idiot .
Bill : So just like that , I m out and he s in .
Lizzie : You re out because I ca nt trust you .
Bill : Lizzie , listen to me . You can trust me .
Lizzie : You need help , seriously , you need to talk to someone , Bill .
Cyrus : Good advice , mate . Otherwise you re just asking to be sued for slander .
Jeffrey : Reva ? Reva .
Reva : Hey .
Jeffrey : Where did you go ?
Reva : I was at the hospital . Just so you know , they wo nt give me any more chemo . How about you ?
Jeffrey : I had a beer with Frank .
Reva : How is he ?
Jeffrey : Worried about Buzz .
Reva : Yeah , I m sure . You know , Alan says ...
Jeffrey : What about Alan ?
Reva : Alan was at the hospital getting a checkup . It turns out he has a heart after all , but he seems to think that everyone is as cynical and fatalistic as he is .
Jeffrey : Including you ?
Reva : I m not like Alan .
Jeffrey : Want to prove it ?
Reva : I m not getting rid of them .
Jeffrey : And I m not letting you die . Kenneth , Kasper . Ken . Kendall . Kent .
Frank : What are you doing here , how did you get in here ?
Alan : I ve come to see my son , Frank . Is there a problem ?
Phillip : Frank , you need to watch out for your dad .
Frank : You got five minutes .
Alan : How are they treating you , son ? Is there anything I can do to make things easier for you ?
Phillip : You can get me out of here .
Alan : Well , our lawyers are working on that , but you re what is called a flight risk and you re going to have to be a little more patient , I m afraid .
Phillip : Um - hmm . Well , Lizzie needs me .
Alan : I know she does , but I m taking care of that .
Phillip : You re taking care of her ?
Alan : Yeah .
Phillip : Like you re taking care of Beth , like you took care of Lizzie before she got kidnapped ?
Alan : Lower your voice .
Phillip : You know what ? You stole four years from me . You owe me .
Lizzie : Granddad ? Why are you sitting in the dark ?
Grady : Got a beer ? There s an Aussie football game on .
Cyrus : What the hell did you think you were doing ?
Grady : What are you talking about ?
Cyrus : I told you Bill was getting his memory back I said we had to be careful . And what you do ? You pick up the phone and you threaten him .
Grady : I did nt threaten him .
Cyrus : Oh yeah , right . You threaten Lizzie , it s so much better Grady : Well what s your plan , huh ? Want me to wait until Bill gets his memory back . Huh ? Figures out that I m the kidnapper ?
Cyrus : It does nt have to be like that . Not if we re smart .
Bill : You should listen to your brother .
Bill : Who thought you were smart enough to pull off a kidnapping ? Huh ? Look at that nice tattoo .
Cyrus : We can make a deal here , Bill .
Bill : No deal , Cyrus !
Woman : Are you the American ?
Mallet : Yes , maam . The only thing you need to understand is how anxious I am to adopt a baby .

Caroline : No , he s my friend , and I care about him .
Karen : I m your mother . And we re gon na do this my way . ( Sighs ) Okay , now listen , this is nt open for debate . We re not gon na say anything , period , not now .
Donna : All I asked is , what s the occasion ?
Katie : Well , who says I do nt do this for my husband every night ?
Donna : Uh - huh . Well , he should be doing this for you .
Katie : ( Chuckles ) I agree . You know , I think of Bill and me and how much we ve grown and how much we have to look forward to . I feel really blessed .
Donna : You ve also been butting heads about Hope and Liam .
Katie : Oh , we re never gon na agree about that . But I ca nt argue with his motivation . I mean , he loves Liam . He s just trying to be a good father .
Donna : Bill wants Liam with Steffy .
Katie : ( Sighs ) Yes , he s trying to be Protective . And he goes too far . That s true . But when I think about how he reacted when he first found out about Liam , I mean , who would have ever thought that Dollar Bill Spencer would be such a family man ?
Donna : Speaking of family , Brooke mentioned that , uh , Bill s sister s back in town .
Katie : Yeah . She got a place right down the beach .
Donna : Uh - huh . Have you seen much of her yet ?
Katie : No . We thought we d give her a chance to settle in . But I m sure we ll be one big happy family in no time .
Thomas : ( Sighs ) Hey . Is everything all right ? I did nt mean to make anybody uncomfortable asking about your dad .
Caroline : No , no , no , no . My mom just did nt expect me to bring a boyfriend to dinner , is all .
Thomas : Boyfriend ?
Caroline : I m glad you came .
Thomas : Me , too .
Karen : Coffee , anyone ?
Jarrett : Yes , please . And , Danielle , please tell me that s one of your fruit pies I smell in the kitchen .
Danielle : Fresh from the oven .
Jarrett : Oh . ( Chuckles )
Karen : I ll get it .
Jarrett : She makes the best . ( Speaking indistinctly )
Caroline : She could nt be more in a hurry to get this over with .
Danielle : Caroline .
Caroline : It does nt have to be this way .
Danielle : I understand how you feel , but you re not gon na change her mind tonight . You did kind of spring Thomas on us .
Thomas : Jarrett , have I done something wrong ?
Jarrett : No , no , nothing s wrong .
Karen : Pie s ready . Here we go .
Jarrett : Oh , pie !
Karen : ( Laughs ) Pie .
Caroline : You must be so confused .
Thomas : Oh , it s okay . I m used to family drama .
Katie : Oh . I just got a message from Bill , and it looks like he s gon na be home soon .
Donna : Okay . Anything you need before I go ?
Katie : Maybe just a hug .
Donna : ( Clicks tongue ) Oh , Honey .
Katie : ( Laughs )
Donna : You really are feeling sentimental tonight .
Katie : Oh , I m just thinking so much about family . I m just so thankful for mine .
Donna : Because Bill s sister s in town and wants nothing to do with him ?
Katie : That s not true ! We just need to make her feel welcome .
Donna : Okay .
Katie : Bill s on his way over there right now .
Donna : Wait , I - I thought he was coming here . What--
Katie : He is . He s just gon na stop by and say Hello .
Donna : Oh , but what about your dinner ?
Katie : I ll keep it warm . I could nt tell him . It s a surprise .
Donna : Okay . Do you want me to stick around or ... ?
Katie : No , no , go . It s -- well get together soon .
Donna : I m gon na hold you to that .
Katie : All right .
Donna : I ll call Brooke and , you know , set up a girls night-- martinis , mani- pedis ?
Katie : Okay . But I m sure she s insanely busy planning Hope s big Italian wedding .
Donna : Oh . Well , she has to eat , right ?
Katie : Mm - hmm .
Donna : So , um , I ll set up a lunch date .
Katie : That sounds even better .
Donna : Okay .
Katie : Maybe we should invite Karen .
Donna : You know , maybe you should just see how Bill s drop - by goes first . If she s as private as you say she is , an unexpected visit from your husband might send her running straight back to New York .
Katie : ( Sighs ) ( Clicks tongue ) I think that s true . ( Sighs )
Donna : Yeah .
Katie : ( Chuckles )
Donna : ( Sighs )
Jarrett : Well , that was delicious .
Thomas : I ca nt remember the last time I had homemade pie .
Jarrett : Mmm .
Karen : It s an old family recipe .
Thomas : Yours ?
Danielle : Oh , I just-- I put my own spin on it .
Caroline : She s being modest . Her chocolate chip cookies were famous in my school bake sales .
Thomas : So you two have known each other for a long time .
Jarrett : We all go way back .
Karen : Are we expecting someone else ?
Caroline : No .
Thomas : Wait , are nt we expecting your dad ?
Danielle : I ll get it .
Bill : Hello ! Ah ! Well , I m glad I got the right house . That would have been awkward .
Thomas : ( Sighs )
Karen : Bill . ( Chuckles )
Bill : I heard you were having a little dinner party , hence the wine , but it would appear I m a little late .
Karen : Well , so efficient , Bill . Where was this taken ?
Danielle : Kauai .
Bill : Looks like you two girls have done quite a bit of travelling together .
Karen : I do nt like to travel alone .
Bill : Of course not . Who does ? You know , two ladies sharing a house on the beach-- you know what people might think , right ?
Karen : Great to see you , Bill , as always . Thanks for stopping by .
Bill : You do nt have to thank me . You re my sister . A pleasure . Everyone .
Karen : That ... is why we re not gon na say anything .
Danielle : ( Sighs )
Caroline : See ? This is why I do nt like secrets . It s way too stressful .
Karen : No . Being judged is stressful , and feeling that way in your own home is even worse .
Caroline : Are you questioning your decision to come to L.A. ?
Karen : No . ( Clicks tongue ) Honey ... ( Sighs ) I do-- I miss our life in New York . But I would miss you so much more .
Thomas : Hey . ( Sighs ) Thank you so much for the dinner and the dessert . It was --it was amazing .
Caroline : ( Sighs )
Thomas : Thank you .
Caroline : Thomas , um ...
Danielle : ( Clears throat )
Caroline : I am so sorry . I know that this has been really awkward . I wanted you to be with family . Mom ... I know how private you are . But please ... for me .
Karen : ( Sighs ) ( sniffles ) Thomas , um ... Caroline s father is nt in the picture . But ... she does have two parents-- Dani and -- and I. We re her parents .
Caroline : ( Sighs ) ( Sniffles )
Karen : We re a couple , and , um , we ve been together a really long time .
Caroline : These are my moms . ( Chuckles ) ( Sniffles ) ( Laughs ) ( Sniffles ) See ? It was nt that hard . And it s not a big deal .
Bill : Katie ?
Katie : Hey .
Bill : Hey .
Katie : I was just about to text you .
Bill : Yeah , well , you know , if I knew what you had planned , I could have skipped Karen s and come straight home .
Katie : Mm . Mm .
Bill : Mm . Yeah .
Katie : ( Chuckles )
Bill : And -- and brought that bottle of wine with me . Katie Karen does nt drink ?
Bill : Yeah , I should have gotten a dessert wine .
Katie : Oh . The dinner party was over .
Bill : If you can call it a party . Jarrett and -- and Thomas were there . Now that makes for a good time .
Katie : ( Sighs ) Really ?
Bill : Yeah . You know , it -- it s bad enough Caroline is -- is working at Forrester . I do nt want her spending her-- her free time with those people .
Katie : Those people ?
Bill : Yeah , Thomas and -- and -- and Rick , that whole messed - up Forrester clan .
Katie : And yet you want you son to marry Thomas s sister .
Bill : Uh , well , Steffy is nt like the rest of them . They re all erratic and ...
Katie : ( Scoffs )
Bill : And artsy . Steffy has a serious business mind .
Katie : Oh . Okay .
Bill : Oh , and , uh , I - I met , uh , uh , um ... Danielle .
Katie : Uh - huh .
Bill : The -- the roommate .
Katie : How did that go ?
Bill : Well , I guess it was fine . I mean , she did nt really say too much . I just find it a little bit odd that my sister needs a roommate .
Katie : Well , I think it s nice that she brought her best friend out here .
Bill : You do ?
Katie : Yeah .
Bill : I do nt know . Uh , you know , if she needed a - a wingman , Donna s single . She could have taken Karen out .
Katie : A wingman , like you and Justin ?
Bill : Yeah , exactly . Ow . Hey . Back in the day -- past tense .
Katie : Yeah , those days are over , Cowboy .
Bill : Yeah , they are over , are nt they ?
Katie : ( Chuckles )
Bill : Mm .
Katie : Mm .
Bill : Look what you ve done to me . You ve turned me into a real homebody .
Katie : I know .
Bill : Mm .
Katie : Yes , our lives have definitely changed since we got married . ( Sighs )
Bill : Yes , it has . It s a life I want , right here ... just you and me .
Katie : ( Sighs )
Karen : So , um , Thomas , I m sure you have some questions . I mean , it s got ta be a surprise since I dated your uncle . And , um , I was actually engaged to a man once , but I was nt being true to myself and who I really was until I met Danielle .
Danielle : Well , maybe-- maybe , um , he does nt want to hear that story right now .
Karen : ( Sighs )
Caroline : Not tonight . But trust me , you will hear it eventually . They love telling it . They think it s hilarious . ( Chuckles ) Thomas ... this is cool . You said you wanted to meet my family .
Jarrett : Give the poor boy a minute .
Danielle : Maybe we should let you talk .
Karen : No , I - I - I want to know , Thomas , do you have a problem with this ?
Thomas : I dont -- I do nt know what to say . I m ... ( Scoffs ) I feel bad . I - I m sorry you guys felt like you could nt be yourselves around me . It -- I - I really hope I did nt offend you by asking too much about Caroline s father I just -- I should not have assumed that he was even in the picture in the first place .
Karen : You wanted to get to know our daughter better .
Danielle : Why would we be offended by that ?
Thomas : ( Sighs ) I - I m -- I m not like this . I usually do nt jump to conclusions about people .
Karen : Well , you do nt have to apologize . I m the one that should apologize . Caroline , uh ... she wanted ... ( Sighs ) Us to be honest with you , and I just ... I should have trusted her judgment better .
Thomas : No . No . You wanted your private life to stay private . I can understand that . All the stuff with my sister and Liam and Hope-- believe me , I ve seen firsthand how harsh and judgmental people can be . It s sad . ( Sighs ) Love is the one thing we should all agree on , that we all want . We all know it when we feel it and we -- we ca nt help who we feel it about . But there are some people out there who do think love is wrong . I m not one of those people . I think it s great that you found Danielle , and ... ( Sighs ) I think we all should be so lucky .
Jarrett : Well said .
Caroline : ( Sighs )
Danielle : Thomas , thank you so much for your support . It means so much to us and to our family .
Karen : But my privacy also means a lot , too , uh , especially where my brother is concerned . Bill can not know bout this . That s how I want it , and that s the way it has to be . I know my brother better than anyone , I m telling you , Bill Spencer is not a man that you share your secrets with , especially -- especially this one .
Katie : ( Sighs ) ( Sighs ) I really want to talk to you about something . ( Sighs )
Bill : You want to talk ?
Katie : Mm - hmm .
Bill : You want to talk ? You -- you -- you set all this up so we could talk ?
Katie : Yeah , actually , I did . ( Chuckles )
Bill : All right , I know what you re worried about .
Katie : I -- do-- do I look worried ?
Bill : You -- you -- you want to get close to my sister . You love all this bonding stuff . Katie ... ( Chuckles ) I m telling you , that s not going to happen . That s not how she is . She keeps to herself and just because she s here with Caroline , it s not gon na change anything .
Katie : But things are going to change , Bill .
Bill : Not for us .
Katie : You know what ? I m not afraid of change . I am excited for it . I ca nt wait to see what comes next . I m ready for it , and I think we both are . I mean , look at us . We re stronger than we ve ever been . Every obstacle , every challenge just pushes us to a deeper level ...
Bill : ( Sighs )
Katie : A new level of commitment and understanding . We have proven to ourselves and to each other that we are built to last , and we are as solid as we ve ever been .
Bill : ( Sighs ) You know what you are ? You are the greatest partner that I could ask for . You support me . You challenge me . You aggravate me .
Katie : Yeah .
Bill : You make me a better man . And our life is going to be filled with one adventure after another .
Katie : ( Sighs )
Bill : We will continue to travel the world , and nothing is going to hold us back .
Katie : I am so excited by our marriage . I mean , so many unexpected things have happened . I mean , look at it . ( Chuckles ) You never dreamed that you would be a father . And -- and now you have Liam , this -- this beautiful young man who you love so much , who one -- one day will rule your empire . ( Chuckles ) He s brought you so much joy .
Bill : Katie , why are you talking about this at all ?
Katie : I just think that -- that sometimes things happen that you never thought were possible . And ... when they do , you have to cherish it . You have to treasure it . That s been true with us . And it s true again . Bill ... ( Sighs ) Something miraculous has happened . I do nt even know how it could be , but it is . ( Sighs ) I m pregnant . We re gon na have a baby . ( Sighs ) Are you listening to me ? Can you hear me ? I mean , I know it s something that we never planned on .
Bill : It s not happening , Katie .
Katie : What ?
Bill : You re not having this child . I wo nt even discuss it , Katie . You re having an abortion .
Katie : ( Sighs ) ( Laughs )

### Dialogue:
Lexie : Shawn , honey , did you hear me ? Belle and Jan are both here to see you . Which one of them do you wanna see ?
Belle : I have been so worried about you , Shawn . But now you re home , and you re gon na be okay . [ Flatlining ]
Belle : Oh , my God , what s happening ?
Mimi : [ Thinking ] Caffeine , not good when you re pregnant .
Lexie : Sweetheart , I m your doctor , you can tell me anything .
Mimi : I wanna have an abortion . [ Thinking ] What difference does it make ... if I m not having the baby anyway ?
Evil Mimi : So , why the long face ? Wake up and smell the coffee , girl . Like you really need some little drape ape in dripping diapers dragging you down ? Please , you are so doing the right thing .
Good Mimi : Do nt listen , Meems . You have a precious little baby growing inside you , and the man you love is the daddy . You have to tell him now . And do nt sugarcoat it . He deserves to know what you re planning to do with his child .
Rex : Mom , are you okay ?
Kate : I never got to hold you and Cassie when you were babies . And now Cassie s gone . And so is Billie . I ve lost both my daughters , and it s all my fault .
Man s voice : I m sorry , Billie , but you know too much . I ca nt have you telling the others who I am or what I have in store for them in our little home away from home .
Bo : Damn it ! Billie , where are you ? Oh , my God .
Bart : So , phase one , the so - called killings . Phase two , getting all the victims to come here to this island , which just happens to be an exact replica of Salem , USA . And phase three -- and , boss , this is the be p part . Lay it on me . What s the Stefmeister up to here ?
Tony : I will tell you if you put that thing down .
Bart : Huh ?
Tony : I ca nt afford to have you break it .
Bart : Oh , right . Right , right , considering that that controls the whole force field keeping everyone prisoner , rig ? ? By the way , how cool is that force field ? It s so Star Trek . I figure either the boss man s been watching way too much sci - fi channel , or -- or he s about to pull off his most mind - blowing feat of all time .
Tony : You wanna hear phase three or not ?
Bart : I m all ears , boss . What s gon na happen next ?
Tony : Well , what s gon na happen next is the pièce de résistance of my Father s entire career .
Bart : I knew it !
Tony : Oh , Bart , the fun is just about to start . Now , soon --
Bart : Who s that ? Who s that ?
Tony : I ll find out . You have to stay out of sight . Absolutely no one should know that you re here .
Bart : Boss , you ca nt leave me hanging at phase three . You got ta te-- it ll keep . It ll keep .
Tony : Detective Brady . And what do I owe this pleasure ?
Hope : I need your help .
Tony : Oh , come in .
Hope : Thank you . It s very important , and I do nt have much time .
Tony : Fine , so what can I do for you ?
Hope : The force field . I know you have a way of disengaging it . You said your Zen powers and some kind of an amulet can get you in and out of the jungle .
Hope : Oh , my God . Is that what I think it is ?
Jan : What happened ? What was that alarm ?
Belle : Is he okay ?
Lexie : Yeah , his vitals are normal now . It must have been another reaction , Belle , to seeing you , hearing your voice .
Jan : So , he s not gon na die ?
Lexie : Uh , no , his condition , for the moment , is stable .
Belle : And we can stay ?
Lexie : Yeah , just for a few minutes , though . He really needs to rest , okay ?
Jan : Well , I think Belle should leave . I mean , her presence was obviously very upsetting to my fiancé .
Belle : Okay , I m not going anywhere . He was happy to see me . He just got excited .
Jan : Ha . I have seen Shawn excited , and that was nt it . [ Beeping ]
Lexie : Oh , boy , I have to check on some tests . Unless the two of you can work this out or set aside your differences for the time being , I ll have to ask you both to leave .
Jan : That wo nt be necessary .
Belle : No .
Lexie : Okay , I wo nt have Shawn upset in any way . Is that understood ?
Belle : Of course .
Jan : Completely .
Lexie : I ll be back to check on him soon . Keep a close eye on the monitor , will you ?
Woman : Yes , doctor .
Belle : Thank God he s okay . I do nt know what I would have done if I d lost him .
Jan : [ Thinking ] You ve already lost him , twit . And what s more , the only one dying around here is going to be you when I finally waste your sorry ass .
Belle : You just rest , okay ? Do nt try to talk . Just know that I m here , and I m not going anywhere .
Shawn - D : What ... the hell ... are you doing here ? Why do nt you just ... get out ?
Billie : Am I dreaming ? Or are you really here ?
Bo : Been asking myself the same thing .
Billie : There s only one way to find out .
Bo : It s blood . Damn it ! Billie .
Billie : Bo . Do you have any idea how happy you ve made me ?
Bo : Oh , I - Ive got some idea .
Billie : I m not talking about just that .
Bo : Oh , yeah , talk about it .
Billie : Bo ?
Bo : Hmm ?
Billie : Your love has saved my life , literally .
Bo : Oh , no , no , no , no , no . You did that by having the strength to get help , beating that addiction , it s you , it s all you .
Billie : But you gave me that strength . You made me believe in myself . You make me feel like I could do anything .
Bo : You can do anything . I ve witnessed that . I mean , look at your life -- growing up with that abusive father ... he kidnapped you from your mom , told your mom that you and your brother were dead . That s amazing .
Billie : Thank God for my brother Austin . Besides you , he s the only other man who s ever been there for me .
Bo : You saved me , too . You know that ? I never thought I d love again . When I thought I d lost Hope , watching her , uh ... fall into that acid , my whole life ended right there . But you brought me back . You gave me a reason to live , and I ll always be grateful to you for that .
Billie : Sounds to me like you re getting ready to say goodbye . Bo , are you leaving me ? Bo ... please do nt leave me .
Bo : I got ta find her before it s too late .
Tony : Ha ha . I do nt know what you re talking about .
Hope : Are those Stefano s ashes in this urn ?
Tony : No , it s an actual replica of the same one that s in Salem -- the one that contains my Father s ashes .
Hope : But the I.S.A. was never able to verify those were his ashes .
Tony : Well , I can verify it . He died in my arms .
Bart : [ Thinking ] At least that s what you sorry Salemites were led to believe . But when has the Phoenix ever died and not risen to live again ?
Hope : And how many times has he died before ? Hmm ? Until you can prove it to me , I ll never believe it . He s still the one I most suspect is behind all of this .
Tony : No , that s ridiculous .
Hope : Is it really ? Who else could pull off such an elaborate plot ? He framed Marlena for all the murders . He made us grieve for people that were nt even dead . Who else could do that ? Who else hates us enough to go to the trouble ?
Tony : Well , you did nt come here to talk about my Father , dead or alive . So , why do nt we discuss the matter at hand ?
Hope : I need your help . As I was saying , I need to get through the perimeter and back out into the jungle right away .
Tony : And why would you wanna risk your life by going back into that jungle ?
Hope : Bo took Patrick s doubloon to get through the perimeter . He s out there right now alone , searching for Billie Reed .
Tony : Oh , yes . Oh , that s understood . Yes , whoever decides to try to enter the jungle through the perimeter will be killed . You realize your husband is taking his life in his own hands ? The jungle is a very dangerous place . It s already taken the life of young Patrick , very nearly Jack and Roman .
Hope : Tony , are you going to help me or not ? Look , I need for you to disengage the force field so I can get back out there and make sure that my husband is not in danger .
Tony : Danger from the deep dark jungle , or from Billie ?
Hope : Damn you . I am trying to save my husband s life .
Tony : I m sorry . I have bad news .
Rex : Mom , what do you mean it was your fault ? Billie died on a secret assignment with the I.S A.
Kate : Which she never would have joined if it was nt for her disastrous relationship with Bo . And for that , I blame myself . I pushed her too hard to go after him , to not give up on him . And I did some things that I am not proud of . But I did them because I wanted her to be happy . And instead it ruined her life . And now her life is over .
Rex : Mom , do nt do this to yourself . You only did what you thought would make her happy .
Kate : I just -- I just ca nt believe that she s really gone ... my little girl . I m never going to hear her laughter again , and I m never gon na see her smile . Oh , Rex , I was such a terrible mother . When I got pregnant with Lucas , I thought , I do nt deserve another chance . There is no way that I m gon na be able to give this baby the -- the life that he deserves . I mean , I - I - I was -- I was a sick old mother , I had no support system . I - I really thought about not going through with the pregnancy . But -- but I did , and I had Lucas and -- and then you and Cassie and Philip . But I abandoned you , too , did nt I ?
Rex : Mom , stop thinking that way . Okay , listen , as much as I wish my childhood had been different , you re the reason I m here now . And I know I have nt always seemed grateful for that , but I am so grateful to you .
Kate : Thank you . Thank you for saying that .
Rex : Listen , listen , you -- you just talked about remembering Billie smiling and laughing . She had joy . I mean , she had that because of you . So , I hope you never second - guess bringing any of us into this world . Now , listen , I - I I know it is definitely a woman s right to choose , and it should be . But that decision , it s just -- you know , it s so final . And if you ask me , if it was my kid , and I actually had a say in the decision , there is no way I would ever make that an option .
Mimi : Oh ! You scared me .
Lexie : Sorry . I just wanna remind you that coffee is nt good for the baby .
Mimi : I already told you . I m not going through with this pregnancy , so what difference does it make ?
Lexie : Mimi , honey , this is nt a decision you wanna rush into , okay ? You re not that far along . You still have time to think this through .
Mimi : I already have . So maybe you could help me make some arrangements ? Maybe you could recommend a clinic ? It just ca nt be too expensive . But it does have to be ... safe and clean and very discreet .
Lexie : I could give you a referral . I just hope you re not acting on impulse . Honey , this decision will affect you the rest of your life .
Mimi : That s exactly why I m doing it .
Lexie : What about Rex ? How does he feel about your choosing to terminate the pregnancy ?
Mimi : He does nt know .
Lexie : What ?
Mimi : I have nt told him .
Lexie : Mimi , you ca nt be serious . You have nt told the father of your child ?
Mimi : He has no idea , and he never will .
Lexie : Oh , sweetie . Honey , I know -- I know you re upset , and you re scared . I mean , being pregnant is a major life - altering experience . But Rex deserves to know , Mimi . He s as responsible as you are .
Mimi : No , I do nt need to involve him . It s my body , my decision .
Lexie : You re afraid of losing him , are nt you ? Hmm ? Well , if you lie to him , that s exactly what could happen . You could end up losing this baby and the man you love .
Shawn - D : I said ... get out . Go !
Belle : Shawn , please , do nt do this . I am sorry I lied to you . I - I know you still blame me for your great - grandmother s death . And I will never forgive myself for what happened to your family . But I still love you . And I promise I will never , ever lie again . You have to believe that .
Philip : Shawn , since you have been gone , for every moment of every day , you are all Belle has thought about . She s been worried sick , she s been praying --
Shawn - D : Liar ! That s bull , and you know it .
Belle : Shawn , what are you saying ? Philip s not a liar . He s your friend .
Shawn - D : Friend ? No ... I do nt think so . I do nt even know why he s even here .
Belle : He s here because he cares about you . Because I was worried --
Shawn - D : Shut up ! Shut your lying face , both of you . I am so sick of this B.S.
Belle : Philip , what s happening ? Why is he acting like this ?
Philip : It just must be the medication he s on . He s not himself .
Shawn - D : Wrong ! It s because I hate your guts .
Belle : Oh , my God !
Jan : [ Thinking ] This is too good to be true .
Philip : Jan , I think you should leave .
Jan : We were gon na let Shawn decide that , remember ? Hello , Shawn . It s me -- Jan. You remember , do nt you ? Lexie said that you were calling my name . We have been together all summer , and it s been wonderful .
Belle : Okay , if you do nt mind , I d like to hear what Shawn has to say about it .
Shawn - D : I remember , Jan. I remember everything .
Billie : Bo . Bo , do nt leave me . Please , promise me you wo nt .
Bo : Oh , no , I m not going anywhere . Do nt you know that by now ? I love you , and I always will . Okay ?
Billie : Bo . [ Rustling ]
Billie : Who s there ? Who s there ?
Billie : Aah !
Bo : Billie !
Hope : What bad news ?
Tony : I m sorry , I ca nt help you . I can not open the force field . Drink ?
Hope : No . Ca nt or wo nt ?
Tony : You know , Hope , do nt you think you should be concentrating on getting back to your family in Salem alive ?
Hope : Bo s part of that family . I m not leaving here without him , Tony .
Bart : [ Thinking ] Would nt hold your breath on that one , princess .
Tony : My , you are determined , are nt you ?
Hope : You have no idea .
Tony : Almost a pity . I can not take the responsibility of letting you go out there because ... if anything should happen , then the good people of Salem -- New Salem -- will have my head on a stick .
Hope : Oh , my God , I do nt believe it .
Tony : What is it now ?
Hope : Outside those French doors . I saw him . I saw Stefano .
Bart : Mayday , mayday .
Kate : You are just like your father . You know that ? You re kind , and you re loving , and you re understanding . There is nt anything I could nt tell your father , and there s nothing he could nt tell me . I really hope that someday , you and Mimi have a relationship like that , that you will always have a relationship like that , because I believe , when people are truly in love , they are always completely honest with each other .
Rex : I could nt agree with you more , and I know Mimi feels the exact same way . We -- we definitely do nt have any secrets , and we never will .
Kate : Well , then , you re happy , huh ? And you re absolutely sure she s the girl for you , huh ?
Rex : I ve never been more sure about anything in my life , Mom , and you know what ? If you re having any doubts , I can promise you Mimi will be the best daughter - in - law you could ever ask for .
Kate : Daughter - in - law ? I mean , is it that serious ?
Rex : Yeah , I m not saying this is going to happen tomorrow or anything , but , I mean , look , we re young , we re just starting out , and there s no sense in rushing into marriage or having a family -- like I told you before . Yeah , someday , if things keep going the way they are , yeah , we re going to have a great future together .
Kate : Well , I m -- I mean , I m sure she s a really nice girl , but I am a little worried . Well , and you need to get used to that , because that s what mothers do . They worry .
Rex : Okay , that s fine , but what are you so worried about ?
Kate : Well , I m just concerned that she may not be as committed to having a stable family life and a future the way I know you are . Look at her brother . I mean , look at Patrick . I mean , he s kind of a drifter . And Bonnie -- I mean , her mother -- I think calling her flighty is a vast understatement , do nt you think ?
Rex : Okay , wait , wait , wait . First of all , Patrick , okay , he s a good guy , and secondly , Bonnie -- yeah , I mean , she -- she might be , you know , a little fun- loving , but aside from that , she is a cool lady with a heart of gold . Come on , Mom , you re not really judging Mimi based on her family , are you ?
Kate : No . No , I m not . I mean , she could be homeless , or she could live in Buckingham Palace . I do nt care . As long as she makes you happy and she treats my son with love and respect .
Rex : Well , good . In that case , you have nothing to worry about , even for a mom , okay ? Cause I know Mimi will never let me down .
Mimi : [ Sighs ]
Lexie : Mimi , honey ... do you really want to risk losing Rex by lying to him ?
Mimi : No , but ... I m not really lying . I m just not telling him something upsetting that he does nt need to know .
Lexie : Does nt need to know ?
Mimi : And you wo nt tell him , either , right ? You ca nt . I mean , there s that whole doctor / patient confidentiality thing or whatever it s called .
Lexie : No , I - I ca nt tell him . Mnh - mnh . I wo nt tell him . I just want you to promise me that you ll think this over some more . Honey , I know you were nt prepared for this . I know that having a baby would change your lives drastically . But I m here to tell you , it can change it in some pretty wonderful ways as well . Having Theo has brought more joy into my life than I ever could have possibly imagined .
Mimi : I wish I could feel that way , but it s different for me and Rex . When you got pregnant , you were settled , married , established in your career . You and Commander Carver both really wanted to have a child . Rex and I just -- we are nt ready for that kind of responsibility .
Lexie : Honey , I m not saying it ll be easy .
Mimi : And look what having a kid too soon did to my Mom . When she had Patrick at such a young age , she had to drop out of school . I mean , she lived with my Dad for years , but with all the stress and strain , it was nt a happy marriage . And eventually , it all fell apart , and I do nt want that . I do nt -- I do nt want to end up like my Mother , and I wo nt .
Lexie : Okay , okay , okay . Honey , I m not trying to force you to do anything you do nt want to do . It is entirely your decision , Mimi . My only advice is that you not make it before speaking to Rex and telling him about it . If you truly love him , it s the right thing to do . Listen , take it from me -- dishonesty of any kind will destroy a relationship faster than any baby ever could . So please , please , please , please , please , think about this long and hard before you do something you could regret .
Jan : You remember ... everything ? Well , uh , that s wonderful , Shawn . I mean , that means you have nt forgotten what an amazing time we ve had this past summer -- our summer of love . And I m sure you have nt forgotten this . I was so blown away when you proposed . I mean , it was the happiest day of my life . You do remember that , do nt you , honey ?
Shawn - D : Are you kidding me ? How could I forget the woman who changed my life , who taught me what it feels like to be a man ?
Bo : Damn it . Where is she ? I know that was her scream . I got to find her .
Billie : [ Muffled scream ]
Bo : It s okay , it s okay . It s all right .
Billie : Bo . Bo .
Bo : Hey , hey , hey . Do nt --
Billie : Oh , my God .
Bo : Are you okay ? I heard you scream .
Billie : We have to get out of here . Someone s after me .
Bo : Okay , I will take you into town . You ll be safe there .
Billie : We have to hurry . He s coming for me .
Bo : Who ? Who s coming ?
Billie : You re never going to believe it .
Bo : Believe what ? Come on . Tell me .
Billie : Bo . Bo . I know what s going on here , and I will tell you everything , I promise , but right now , we got to go . We ve got to run . Come on .
Hope : Well ?
Tony : Well , there s nobody outside . You must be seeing things . And certainly not my Father . And I ve repeatedly told you , he s been dead for years .
Hope : But I m telling you , tony , I could have sw-- oh , wait a minute . I think I know what happened . I must have seen the reflection of his picture in the glass . I must be more on edge than I thought .
Tony : Well , it s understandable .
Hope : Thanks for nothing .
Bart : [ Whistles ] Man , that was close . For a nanosecond there , I thought the jig was up and she actually saw the boss man .
Tony : She s up to something . I do nt know what it is ... but she s not going to get away with it .
Hope : I hope to God this is what I think it is . I hope you re all right , Bo .
Kate : Rex , you have no idea how grateful I am for you . You re part of Roman . You re part of both of us , and I love you as much as I love all of my children , and I want you to be happy . So , if you re truly in love with Mimi , and you re sure of her commitment and her love , then I ll be there for you and support you always .
Rex : Thanks , Mom . I appreciate that .
Kate : As long as you give me lots and lots of grandkids .
Rex : Yeah , well , that should nt be a problem . I mean , sometimes I m half- tempted to beg Mimi to marry me now so we can start having kids right away . But then , you know , I come to my senses . I mean , having a kid right now would be the biggest mistake of our lives . We re still struggling to make ends meet . You know , Mimi -- she has nt even finished college yet , and she s definitely not ready to be a mother , and I know I m not ready to be a father . No , there-- there s no way . I want to make sure we do it when the time is right , when we know we can give our child everything I did nt have growing up . I mean , to -- to do it any other way would kill me .
Mimi : You wanted me to be sure , Lexie ? Now I am . I know what I have to do .
Shawn - D : Mm , I m just getting all hot and bothered thinking about us hardly even getting out of bed this summer .
Jan : Oh , Shawn , I knew that we were always meant for each other . I knew that if we just had the chance --
Shawn - D : Wait , wait , wait -- I just -- I - I want you to do me a favor .
Jan : Anything , my love . What would you like ?
Shawn - D : Your lips ... right here .
Jan : Are you sure ? I mean , I do nt want to get your alarms --
Shawn - D : No , no , no , no . Do nt -- do nt you worry about that . Everything s going to be fine .
Jan : Okay . You asked for it .
Belle : This ca nt be happening .
Philip : I ca nt believe this .
Jan : Feel better , lover ?
Shawn - D : Oh , that s , um ... that s just what the doctor ordered .
Jan : Well , you wait until you see what I ve got in store for you .
Shawn - D : No , no , no . Why wait ? Why wait ? Right here , right now . I m ready .
Jan : Well , uh , in case you ve forgotten , your ex has nt quite gotten the picture . Come on , Shawn , please tell her that it s over . Tell her that you re with me now , and that she means nothing to you anymore .
Woman : Thanks .
Lexie : Mm - hmm .
Mimi : Lexie ... I just wanted to tell you I ve definitely made up my mind . Can you get me an appointment to have an abortion ? The sooner the better .
Rex : Hey . What s going on ? Is everything all right ?
Mimi : It s going to be . I know it is .
Kate : Well , at least I do nt have to worry about him .
Belle : Shawn , tell her it s not true . Tell her you still love me . I do nt care what s happened . We can get through this .
Shawn - D : But we ca nt . I ve moved on .
Belle : No .
Shawn - D : What Jan does for me , you never could . Now , if you ll excuse us , I d really like to be alone .
Shawn - D : I ca nt wait to get you out of here and get you home .
Jan : It wo nt be long , lover . Pretty soon you ll be all better , and then we can be together forever just like we always planned . We will get married , we ll live the rest of our lives in wedded bliss as Mr. and Mrs. Shawn - Douglas Brady .
Bart : Come on , Count . What could she be up to ? I mean , Hope Brady s smart , but she s got nothing over you and Stefano . She s just got her knickers in a twist over her hubby being out in the jungle with that hot babe from his past . That s all it was .
Tony : Wait a minute .
Tony : She took the remote . She s taking it to the force field .
Bart : On second thought , she could be up to something .
Tony : Father s not going to be pleased .
Bart : It s okay . It s okay , count . Remember what he said about anybody entering the jungle . Bada - bing .
Tony : Bada - bing .
Hope : Please , God , let this work .
Hope : Zen power huh , Tony ? Wonder what else you ve lied to us about .
Billie : Bo , wait .
Bo : Come on . We got to keep moving .
Billie : No , I have to rest .
Bo : We got to get across the barrier .
Billie : Listen , if I do nt make it --
Bo : You re going to make it . Let s go .
Billie : If I do nt make it , you have to tell them . Tell John and Roman and Abe what s going on here . What s going to happen on this island is crazy . It s insane , and somehow , you have to be the one to stop it .
Bo : Stop what ? What is going to happen ?
Billie : You re never going to believe it .
Bo : Aah !
Sami : If my Mom and Dad ca nt come to our wedding , then neither can Kate .
Lucas : How about we elope ? Vegas , tonight , you and me .
Belle : Shawn does nt love me anymore . If I did nt get it before , I do now
Lexie : All I ask is that you consider all of your options .
Mimi : I do nt really have a choice .
Lexie : You always have a choice .

### Dialogue:
JJ : Hey , you .
Paige : Hi . [ Giggles ]
JJ : I thought you were babysitting Parker ?
Paige : I just dropped him off at Joanna s .
JJ : Oh , so the whole rest of the night s yours .
Paige : No , ours .
JJ : Cool . Great , great .
Paige : I thought we could watch that movie or check out ... that s addressed to me .
JJ : Uh , yeah . Yeah .
Paige : What s in it ?
Sami : My God , Kate , would you please just stop yelling . Ah , I ca nt take it . What ? Look , yes , I understand that this is a crisis situation . But I m just thinking that anything is possible , you know ? I mean , the judge , he could -- he could decide that he s going to blow Stefano s deal out of the water , and then Stefano ca nt come back to Salem at all . No , I am not high . I am just--
Nicole : Wait . Hold on .
Eric : I do nt want to listen , Nicole .
Nicole : Well , you re going to . You do nt get to accuse me of something like that and then just walk away .
Eric : Would you just back off and stop making it worse ?
Nicole : Why wo nt you let me explain ?
Eric : Because I do nt want an explanation . It was obvious from the get - go . You just tried to manipulate me and fall for one of your lies again .
Nicole : Oh , my God , it was an accident . Seriously ?
Eric : When are you going to face reality ? There s no future for you here . Just go . Stay away .
Theresa : You are so intense .
Brady : Do you want me to stop ?
Theresa : No . God , no , never .
Kayla : The problem is what s not there .
Daniel : Yeah , from what it looks like ...
Kayla : Could be an amazing breakthrough .
Daniel : Yeah .
Kayla : Yeah .
Daniel : Of course , we ca nt ignore where it came from .
Kayla : You do nt think it s legitimate ?
Daniel : Ah , it might not be . But , hey , there is only one way to find out .
Marlena : You ca nt be serious .
Kristen : Of course I am .
Marlena : No , you would never help john , never .
Kristen : Could you please stop making everything about how much you hate me ? This is for real . I found a way to help john get better .
Marlena : I do nt think so . We ve consulted every specialist in the country . John s coma is permanent , and he is deteriorating quickly .
Kristen : Instead of arguing with me , why do nt you just call Daniel Jonas ? I m sure he can explain it much better than I can .
Marlena : Daniel ?
Kristen : Oh , ha . Hi , Daniel . Yeah , I thought I d be hearing from you .
Nicole : Excuse me . You re acting like it s my fault you made the wrong assumption . I never said I was taking that job in Santa Fe .
Eric : No , you just made sure I misinterpreted what I saw ... hoping that I d beg you to stay . Forgive and forget , right ? After what you did , that s not going to happen , Nicole .
Sami : You re damn right .
Nicole : Oh , why do nt you buzz off , Sami ?
Sami : Why do nt you get a clue , Nicole ? He does nt want anything to do with you . My brother will never want anything to do with you ever again . So why do nt you salvage what s left of your dignity and get lost ?
Kristen : So I assume you got my email .
Daniel : Yeah , Kayla did . We both looked over the formula and the statistical studies . We d like to see you , if that s all right ... in person .
Kristen : Wonderful .
Daniel : Well , how soon can you come to my office ?
Kristen : Well , there s a problem . See , Brady took out a restraining order against me , so I ca nt go to the hospital because of john . And given the sensitive nature of the information , we probably should not meet in public , so what about meeting at my hotel room ?
Daniel : Let s meet at my apartment .
Kristen : Okay , sounds like a plan . See you soon . We re going to meet at Daniel s .
Marlena : What the hell have you done ?
Kristen : I guess you re going to find out .
JJ : It s -- it s just , uh ... nothing .
Paige : No , it s a box with my name on it ... addressed to my dorm room at Stanford ?
JJ : Okay , look , when you decided that you were nt going to go there and that you were going to stay here for another year , I d already sent it . I just wanted this to be the first thing you opened when you got there .
Paige : But I did nt get there , so they sent it back .
JJ : Mm - hmm .
Paige : That s so sweet , JJ . What s in it ?
JJ : Nothing . Just ... stuff . Let s not open it .
Paige : Why not ?
JJ : It s just-- when I put this together , I thought we were nt going to be seeing each other for a couple months , so it s just-- I do nt know . It s just going to be cheesy .
Paige : I love cheesy .
JJ : Okay . Scissors .
Paige : Open it .
JJ : Oh , boy .
Paige : [ Giggles ] Aha ! [ Giggles ] I ll definitely save this for next year .
JJ : All right .
Paige : [ Giggles ]
JJ : Okay . [ Laughs ] Well , I did the community - bathroom thing at boarding school , so believe me , you are going to need those .
Paige : Okay , save them too . [ Laughs ]
JJ : Yeah .
Paige : Aw . Actually , this is kind of a bad picture of me . [ Laughs ]
JJ : Paige , I do nt think you could take a bad picture if you tried .
Paige : You always know what to say . Okay .
JJ : I know -- it s ... it s kind of lame , right ?
Paige : It s perfect .
Eric : Sami , just back off .
Sami : Look , I just do nt think you should have to put up with a baby snatcher--
Nicole : Why do nt you mind your own business ?
Eric : I got this .
Sami : He is my business . He s my brother , and I m not going to stand around and let you harass him .
Nicole : Maybe if you focused on your own relationship instead of Eric s , EJ would nt have cheated on you .
Sami : Oh , really ? You want to go there ? You want to start this right now ?
Nicole : You know , your son really nailed you in that article . What did he say about you ? You re narcissistic , petty , and selfish to the bone ?
Sami : You are dead meat .
Nicole : Oh , you want to kill me -- go ahead .
Sami : Yeah , do nt tempt me .
Nicole : Cause I hear Stefano is inches from Salem , and you and Kate are at the top of his to - do list . I m surprised that your kids are nt motherless yet , crying themselves to sleep at night . You know you have a target on your back .
Eric : Nicole , what is wrong with you ?
Nicole : She started it ! Actually , I m ... sorry I said that bit about your kids . They re going to be fine . They re going to be fine . I did nt mean what I said . I just lost my temper . [ Sighs ]
Theresa : Hey , um , can I ask you something ?
Brady : Sure .
Theresa : Well ... you know you ve been saying for weeks now how we should , you know , go off on our own ... no more good times , no more anything . And I mean , you know , the annulment papers -- they just came in today , so ... why did this happen ?
Kayla : Marlena , today we received an email from a biochemist who works in a lab in ... in someplace in the world . And apparently he was told to contact us .
Kristen : Yeah , by me .
Kayla : By ... Daniel , I think you better do this .
Daniel : Yeah . Yeah , the email contains part of the formula for an experimental drug , also some statistical studies . Kayla and I researched this extensively , and we both agree that , in theory , this drug could be used to bring john out of a coma .
Marlena : No . No , that s impossible . This is some vicious game of hers now . Look , Daniel , we ve talked with every specialist in the country . This -- this drug certainly would ve come up .
Kristen : Marlena , you know my father -- he likes to stay ahead of the curve on these kind of things . He s always in touch with the most brilliant physicians in the world .
Marlena : Hmm , the lovely Chyka ?
Kristen : Who ? Anyway , when I told my father that john was going downhill and that Marlena was heartbroken , he decided that he would help make john better somehow , find a cure .
Marlena : She s lying , is nt she ? I mean , there is not a cure , is there ? This is just some kind of hoax . All she wants to do is have a good laugh with Stefano .
Kayla : Marlena--
Marlena : Or even worse -- you know what ? The drug will kill john .
Kristen : [ Laughs ] Why would I bother ? He s a couple days away from death .
Marlena : You d bother because you re a vile , vicious woman .
Kayla : Marlena ! Marlena , we need to try to keep this as civil as we possibly can ... no matter how we feel about Kristen . But based on our studies , this drug does have the potential to save john ... or at least improve his condition .
Daniel : Well , as I told you before , uh , you only gave us part of the formula .
Marlena : Oh , I get it now . If we want the other part of the formula , we have to live up to a series of her conditions .
Kristen : Not a series , just a couple . The first one involves Brady .
Marlena : [ Scoffs ]
Paige : Missed .
JJ : Well , I mean , how was I supposed to get that ?
Paige : [ Laughs ]
JJ : All right .
Paige : All right . Okay . Aw .
JJ : Okay , see ? You re -- you re not even trying .
Paige : I m kind of popcorned out . Want to do something else ?
JJ : Yeah . Well , this is , like , the last night before classes start . We got to do something fun .
Paige : Like ?
JJ : I got it . It s perfect . But it s going to require us to get a lot more naked .
Nicole : To all the dumb dreams that never happened . Hear , hear . And to the dumbest person in this room , right here .
Caroline : What the heck do you think you re doing ?
Nicole : Hey , I just got that . Get your own .
Caroline : What makes you think you can come into my pub and order anything ?
Nicole : I thought you said I was always welcome .
Caroline : Well , that s before I knew what you did to my grandson . Without that , he might still be a priest .
Nicole : Ugh . [ Sighs ]
Eric : Nicole -- she did nt have to throw it in your face . And the cracks that she made about Stefano killing you and Kate ?
Sami : Well , she s closer to the truth than I thought . We do have pretty big targets on our backs .
Eric : Sami , is he threatening you ?
Sami : No , no . I have nt heard a peep out of Stefano , actually . I mean , I did hear a rumor that he , um ... well , he might be making a deal with the state .
Eric : So Stefano could be back in Salem any day .
Sami : Which would not be good news for Kate or me .
Brady : Look , uh ... y - you asked me what happened . I ll tell you what happened . I really was nt thinking . And this -- this was really sudden .
Theresa : Well , when you came in earlier , you seemed , uh ... you seemed upset . My God , Brady . Did something happen with your dad ? Did he ...
Brady : No , no , no , no , listen , he s -- he s the same .
Theresa : Oh . Well , that s -- that s good . So what was going on with you when you came in earlier ?
Brady : Look , um ... this ... this was a mistake . I am so sorry .
Marlena : And there it is-- once again , her crazy scheme . All you want to do is get Brady back . Let me tell you something , sweetheart . He wants nothing to do with you . He hates your guts .
Kristen : Okay , maybe if you could shut up for a second , I would explain that I actually want the exact opposite .
Kayla : I m sorry ?
Kristen : I came very close to telling Brady about this earlier , and I m glad I did nt . I do nt want him to know anything about it . I want him to be kept completely in the dark until we can find out for sure if the drug works , because I do nt want his hopes to get up for nothing .
Daniel : Okay .
Kristen : Can we at least agree on that , yes ?
Daniel : No , no , let s , let s , let s . Okay , not a word . Not a word to Brady . None of us want to see Brady get hurt again , ever again .
Kristen : Yeah , thank you . Neither do I.
Marlena : [ Scoffs ]
Kayla : The report that came along with that email said that it was imperative that the drug was administered as soon as possible .
Daniel : We just -- we just need the rest of the formula .
Kristen : Right , well , that would depend on Marlena ... which brings us to the second condition that I mentioned earlier . I think we should go talk about that one in private . Living with chronic migraine
Brady : It was ... so selfish of me , Theresa . I mean , I - I tell you we re over , and then I drag you to bed .
Theresa : Hey , you do nt ever have to drag me .
Brady : Yeah , but talk about a mixed signal I m sending you .
Theresa : Well , I m not mad , if that s what you were worried about . I mean , seriously . If you were confused , it s --
Brady : It s -- it s not that .
Theresa : Okay . Well , you know , whatever it is , I - I really care about you , Brady . You know that , right ? So , you know , I mean , if this was just a one - time thing , then that s cool . That s fine .
Brady : You sure ?
Theresa : Yeah , absolutely . I mean , you know me , I m always looking for a good time , and you were definitely ... a good time , Brady , so ...
Brady : Okay , thanks .
Theresa : Yeah , sure . No problem .
Nicole : Excuse me . The reason Eric got defrocked was because of Kristen . Go steal her martini .
Caroline : Yeah , well , I have a few choice words for that piece of trash . But you are the one who destroyed the evidence that would ve cleared him , and so you re as much to blame as she is .
Nicole : I helped him in every way I could . I went to Rome . I testified for him . They reinstated him . He is the one who decided not to go back to the priesthood .
Caroline : That s because he was so full of hate for what happened that he did nt think he could do it .
Nicole : Well , you know what they say -- it s a thin line between love and hate .
Eric : Sami , have you told dad ?
Sami : About what ?
Eric : Sami , if he threatened you , you need to go file a report .
Sami : Oh , no , no , look , we do nt know what s going to happen with Stefano . He might not get the deal . And he probably wo nt be able to come back to Salem . What ?
Eric : Sami , the DiMeras get what they want no matter who gets hurt . They get away with murder almost as much-- I m sorry , I m sorry .
Sami : No problem .
Eric : You understand what I m saying , though , right ?
Sami : Yeah .
Eric : You got to be on guard , ready for anything . I know you remember what happened with Kristen .
Sami : Yes , yes , I know , okay ? She paid off a judge , and she made bail . But she is going to pay for what she did to you . I know it . I know it in my soul . You re going to testify against her at her trial . She s going to end up at Statesville , and then she s going down .
Daniel : We re going to be right outside .
Marlena : Thank you .
Kristen : You might want to alert the hospital lab . The sooner they can get that drug ready to make , the better . The formula might actually come in tonight , depending on what Marlena decides .
Kayla : Oh , God . I hate that woman .
Daniel : Well , unfortunately , she s holding all the cards .
Kayla : You know , too bad we ca nt just come up with the rest of the formula by ourselves .
Daniel : I know . But if we re just -- one ingredient is the least bit off or the wrong amount was used ...
Kayla : I have to get back to the hospital . I wonder what Kristen s doing in there .
Daniel : Well , I have a pretty good guess . She is about to wreck a lot of people s lives .
Kristen : So here s the upshot . Although I was able to convince my father to help find a cure for john , he wants a couple of assurances before he hands it over .
Marlena : What kind of assurances ?
Kristen : Well , you love your daughters , right ?
Marlena : Yes .
Kristen : Well , my father loves me . He does nt want to see me go to prison .
Marlena : No .
Kristen : Yes . You have to have a convo with Eric .
Paige : [ Screams ]
Paige : Perfect way to say good - bye to summer .
JJ : Yeah . Yep . You know , when I m crammed in my seat tomorrow , listening to that boring lecture , I ll just be able to lean back and think of you in that bikini .
Paige : Stop it .
JJ : No , it s true .
Paige : How many classes do you have tomorrow ?
JJ : Three . Yeah , but I m thinking about dropping one -- music theory .
Paige : Why ?
JJ : I do nt know . I just feel like I should study something more useful .
Paige : Okay , here s why you re wrong . You should study whatever you feel passionate about . And you re a terrific musician . Second , I signed up for that class too .
JJ : Really ? When ?
Paige : It was supposed to be a surprise .
JJ : Well , you re just full of surprises , are nt you ?
Paige : Oh , well , I hope so . I hate to think I m predictable already . We only met six months ago .
JJ : Well , I m not dropping that class .
Paige : Good . Actually , music theory was one of the few interesting classes I could actually get into , you know , cause I enrolled so late .
JJ : Yeah .
Paige : What ?
JJ : Just -- I do nt know . Just staying here and going to Salem u -- that really screwed things up for you , did nt it ? Just be honest , okay ? Are you sorry that you stayed ?
Brady : [ Sighs ]
Theresa : Here you go ... the annulment papers .
Brady : Thanks . I ca nt apologize enough for--
Theresa : Brady , do nt . Seriously , I had a really great time .
Brady : But I know how you feel , and I crossed a line , and--
Theresa : No , hey , no harm , no foul . And , you know , it s really nice to know that you care about me .
Brady : I do . I do , and of course we can be friends .
Theresa : We will be .
Brady : Good .
Theresa : You do realize , though , that that was the first time we ever made love sober . [ Chuckles ]
Brady : Imagine that .
Theresa : Yeah . Well , I think it made it that much sweeter .
Theresa : Hey , is , uh , china calling already ?
Brady : No , it s one of the nurses at the hospital . It s ... it s about my dad .
Caroline : You mean because Eric hates you , that really means he loves you ? Well , you re crazy . You should see a psychiatrist soon if you think that s what my grandson feels for you .
Nicole : Son of a bitch ! I have no idea how Eric feels about me , okay ? All I know is I love him more than I ve loved anyone in my entire life . And he loved me . And , yes , I still love him . I will always love him . That feeling does nt just die , not for me , not for anybody .
Sami : At least one DiMeras going to pay for what they ve done . Even if EJ and Stefano find a way to skate with just a fine , at least Kristen will--
Eric : What ? What s wrong ?
Sami : I was just thinking that your case against Kristen might make Stefano--
Eric : Come after you even stronger .
Sami : I did nt say that .
Eric : Sami , do you think I should drop the charges ?
Sami : No . No . My God , Eric , of course not . No , you have to make that woman pay for what she has done to you . I ca nt wait -- I ca nt wait to picture her living her life in Statesville .
Eric : Sami--
Sami : And then even if you re not a priest again , at least you ll know you ve done the right thing .
Eric : I could be putting your life in danger .
Sami : No , no , you wo nt be doing that at all . Dont -- dont worry about that . I mean , honestly , like , Stefano s not going to harm the mother of his grandkids , I promise . He s not like that , you know ? I should nt have even have thought of it . I should nt have said anything . It s fine .
Eric : I do nt know . I mean , you know Stefano s a cold - blooded killer .
Sami : Well , you know , allegedly . But that s not the point . The point is ... if anything , he s most mad at what I did taking his company from him and embarrassing him . It s not about you . Do nt worry about it .
Eric : Yeah , I suppose .
Sami : Hey , I know . You , you go get em , tiger . Rawr .
Eric : You know , some days after everything that s happened in this past year , I ve been struggling . But , you know , when I saw Kristen being dragged into that police station , it kind of gave my life meaning again .
Sami : I hear that .
Eric : Some days it s the one thing that keeps me going , just knowing that I m going to send that woman to prison .
Marlena : You re asking me-- I m his mother . You ca nt ask me to hurt my son .
Kristen : Okay , let s be really clear about this . I m not asking . My father is asking . Even if I begged him , he would nt hand over the drug . Okay ? Only if Eric agrees not to testify against me . Without his testimony , there s no case , and without a case , my father s very happy .
Marlena : And , of course , you re very happy too .
Kristen : Of course I m very happy , yes . But again , I ca nt get the drug . Only my father can get the drug .
Marlena : You are disgusting . After all you ve done to my son , you expect him to give up any chance of justice ?
Kristen : It s not my problem , I m sure you could figure something out .
Marlena : Maybe Stefano wants something else .
Kristen : You know what s so interesting about this ? If john s condition is deteriorating as quickly as I hear it is , should you really be standing around here weeping and moaning ? Do nt you think you should be trying to find Eric ?
Daniel : Marlena , are you okay ? Kayla went back--
Kristen : Do nt worry about her . She has a lot on her mind .
Sami : Think of it this way . You know , you re actually going to make everyone-- especially me -- very happy by putting Kristen away .
Eric : Really , finally .
Sami : Yeah , exactly . She does nt have a friend in the world . Even EJ s going to be testifying against her .
Eric : Yeah , everything would ve been different--
Sami : If he had turned on her in the first place . I know . I feel like an idiot . I should not have been loyal to that son of a bitch . I mean , why ? Why ?
Eric : Because you were in love , Sami .
Sami : But you re my twin . You re my brother . You mean everything to me .
Eric : I love you . Nothing will ever change that . I mean , after all the years and the stunts that you ve pulled off , you should know that by now .
Sami : I do . And I am grateful ... cause you are such a great brother .
Eric : Mm .
Sami : And kind ... and thoughtful ...
Eric : Uh - huh .
Sami : And handsome .
Eric : Right , ooh , good one .
Sami : Mom s favorite .
Eric : Mom s favorite .
Sami : [ Laughs ] You know I hate that one . That s my least favorite .
Daniel : [ Chuckles ] All right , let me guess . You -- you told Marlena to convince Eric not to testify against you .
Kristen : Hmm , was that a guess , or were you eavesdropping ?
Daniel : Oh , I knew the second you asked Kayla and me to leave the room . It s kind of predictable , really .
Kristen : Aw , I m starting to think you know me too well , Daniel . And by the way , I was just passing on a demand of my father s .
Daniel : Oh , were you ? Is that a fact ? I hope you do nt expect anybody to believe that . I mean , you seriously think Brady wo nt blame you for this ?
Kristen : Blame me ? For what , saving his father s life ?
Daniel : More like saving your own .
Kristen : You re so cynical . That s just an added bonus .
Daniel : You are awfully confident that this drug is going to work .
Kristen : Daniel , it will .
Daniel : Oh , it better . If it does nt or if this is a bluff , you are going to be in a deeper hole than you are now .
Kristen : Maybe you do nt know me as well as I thought you did . Let s check . Am I bluffing ?
Daniel : No .
Kristen : No . It s going to be a win - win for everybody .
Daniel : Except for Eric .
Kristen : And why do you say that ? He s just going to find some phrase in the bible . Vengeance is mine , sayeth the lord . Besides , he s giving his mother back the love of her life . How could you say no to that ?
Daniel : You ve got it all figured out , do nt you ?
Kristen : It s going to happen .
Daniel : Yeah ? Well , even if it does , there is -- there is one thing you should know . Brady -- he is never going to change his mind about you .
Brady : [ Sighs ]
Theresa : So is he waking up ? Is he saying anything ?
Brady : No , that was , uh ...
Theresa : [ Clears throat ]
Brady : That was one of the nurses telling me that I can go see him because they re done with the testing for today . But they re -- they re moving him to a long - term - care facility . They do nt think he s going to wake up .
Theresa : Oh .
Brady : Yeah , yeah .
Theresa : Well , that s -- that s really sad . Um , I should -- I should let you go , then . I ll see you .
Brady : Thank you , and thanks for being so understanding .
Theresa : Hey , hey , we re good . [ Sighs ] Well ... [ Giggles ] Brady might think that was a one - time thing , but me ... not so much .
Kristen : There you go again . You re always so sure of yourself . It s getting kind of comical . Even you ca nt predict the future .
Daniel : Well , just some things are kind of obvious .
Kristen : Mm . I have to go . There s somebody I need to see . I m sure we ll be in touch as soon as Marlena does her job . Bye .
Marlena : After all that Eric s been through ... all that he s lost ... how do I ask him ? Because he deserves-- you need his help . Brady needs him .
Eric : Hey , Mom . Where are you ?
Marlena : Hi , honey . I m not far . Um ... Eric , I - I need to talk to you about something . It s really important , so could you -- could you just come and meet me , please ?
Paige : Okay , there . If Mary Beth texts back again , I ll just ignore her . I m sorry .
JJ : Oh , it s no problem .
Paige : So , anyway , am I sorry I stayed ? No . Nothing at Stanford s so important that I should skip having another year with my mom ... and you .
JJ : You sure ?
Paige : Absolutely . What , you think you re holding me back ? [ Laughs ] I could soar with the eagles if it were nt for you ?
JJ : Stop , stop , stop . It s just-- okay , I just -- I worry about you , all right ? Because I love you .
Paige : I love you too . So staying here is a good thing .
Sami : [ Sighs ] [ Scoffs ] [ Sighs ]
Nicole : Stupid old cow . You think feelings like that just go away ? They do nt . Bitch ... this is your fault . There , Kristen . At least you re giving me something to look forward to .
Theresa : Anne , you are not going to believe what happened . No , no , this is nt about Jenn - Jenn . This is about Brady . And it is so exciting .
Kristen : Oh , really ? Do tell .
Brady : They may be moving you to a different place , but , uh ... this is nt over , dad . I do nt care what these tests say , and I do nt care what these doctors say . It s not over .
Kayla : Brady , hey .
Brady : Hi . Is it time ?
Kayla : Um , well , actually , your father s transfer s been put on hold for a little while .
Brady : Really ? Why ?
Kayla : Well , you know , it s just sort of a procedural thing -- red tape .
Brady : Red tape ? What -- what do you mean ?
Kayla : Listen , do nt worry about it .
Kayla : They re going to reschedule it , and I ll let you know as soon as that happens . Oh , I m sorry . I got to take of this .
Daniel : Ah , always playing games , are nt you , Kristen ?
Daniel : Hello ?
Kayla : Hi . Hi . It s Kayla . Um , listen , I just wanted to tell you that Brady s here , and I do nt think I did a very good job explaining why his father s not being transferred . Uh , I do nt know . Maybe he bought it . But you might be getting a phone call .
Daniel : All right , got it . What s up with the lab ?
Kayla : I alerted them , and they said that they re ready to go as soon as we get the rest of the formula to them . So tell me , were you right ? Did Kristen tell Marlena that she s got to convince Eric not to testify ?
Daniel : She did . And Marlena s probably found him by now . I d hate to be her .
Eric : Mom , hey .
Marlena : Hi , honey .
Eric : You sounded so upset on the phone . Is everything o-- mom , have you been crying ? What happened ? Did something happen with john ?
Marlena : No , john-- john is the same , but he s -- he s the reason that I m here .
Eric : I do nt understand .
Marlena : Oh , I hate myself for doing this .
Eric : Doing what ?
Marlena : I have to ask you to do something ... and it s something really horrible .

### Dialogue:
Jennifer : Mike ? Honey , can you open this ?
Mike : Sure .
Jennifer : Still got Katie and Henry on your mind ?
Mike : Just tossing the paper out . I could care less about Katie and Henry s fake wedding .
Jennifer : Mm - hmm . Well , I ll get the wine glasses .
Mike : Whoa , whoa . What did that mean ?
Jennifer : Katie and Henry . It s still making you nuts .
Mike : Only because it s bogus . All right , she set up the whole thing just to get a rise out of me .
Jennifer : And it s working .
Mike : No , it s not . I just keep trying to figure it out . And then the kiss -- I mean , what s up with that kiss ?
Jennifer : Mm - hmm .
Mike : Jen --
Jennifer : All I m saying is that for a guy who could nt care less , you sure are giving it a lot of thought .
Mike : I m a thoughtful guy . You know what I m thinking about right now ?
Jennifer : Mm - hmm .
Henry : Da , da , dum !
Katie : I ve been thinking --
Henry : Yeah , yeah , so have I. You know , I know that we have picture frames for the guests , but I was thinking , what about shot glasses with our initials on em ?
Katie : I ve been thinking about Mike .
Henry : Oh .
Katie : He has got to be at the wedding .
Henry : Why ?
Katie : How else is he gon na stop it ?
Henry : We could send him an invitation .
Katie : What if he does nt show up ? What then ?
Henry : We live happily ever after ?
Katie : Can you be serious ?
Henry : Okay , okay , all right , all right . What is the plan for getting Mike to interrupt our wedding ?
Katie : Simple . You ll get him to be your best man .
Will : Hey , Detective Hughes . How s it going ?
Margo : Hey , Will . Sit . We got a report here of a brand - new car that was wrecked and abandoned out on route 24 ?
Will : Yeah .
Margo : Yeah , well , we traced the tags to you .
Will : Oh .
Margo : Normally , I would go straight to your father with something like this , but I figured since Emily was just arrested , Hal s probably got enough on his plate -- so , I m giving you a chance to explain yourself . Explain yourself .
Will : I kinda lost control of the car , and it crashed .
Margo : Really ? Cause the lab guys kinda think you got out of the car and put it in gear and intentionally crashed it .
Will : How can they tell that ?
Margo : Because that is what they do . Is that what you did ?
Will : I guess .
Margo : And you did nt you even bother to report it ?
Rosanna : Yes , he did . To me .
Cop : I ll be right outside , Mrs. Munson .
Emily : I promise I wo nt make a run for it . One of the perks of being the lieutenant s wife . No handcuffs , and everybody s really polite .
Paul : Right . How re you doin ?
Emily : I m actually surprised you came back . I mean , even I thought I sounded sort of crazy , you know ? Remembering but not remembering breaking into Fairwinds and doing those horrible things to Rosanna . It s like I know I did it . I know I was there , but I do nt know why or how . How can I expect you to believe that ?
Paul : Actually , I do .
Jack : Cut J.J. Loose ? I thought you understood , Carly .
Carly : I do . I do understand . I understand that things can not go on the way they are , Jack , or everyone will be hurting , including J.J.
Jack : Whether or not you see J.J. as my son , as far as I m concerned , that s exactly what he is . I m not gon na walk away from him .
Carly : I know that you wanna do right by J.J. because you love him . But if you are constantly torn up with guilt because you ca nt spend more time with him , J.J is gon na sense that --he and in a strange way , he is going to start feeling guilty himself .
Jack : Right , so your solution is that I never see the kid again ?
Carly : Because of Julia . Because she is using her son and the love that you feel for him !
Jack : Do nt you think I know that ?
Carly : Well , do you really want him to grow up being used as his mother s weapon of choice ?
Jack : No , of course not !
Carly : Well , then , stop her , Jack . J.J. is just the tip of the iceberg . And now she s even using Holden to stick it to you because you choose me instead of her .
Jack : If Holden wants Julia , all the more power to him .
Carly : It would be different if he was going after her , but he s not . She is coming on to him . Jack , if you really care about J.J. , if you care about Holden , if you care about me and our children , you will recognize Julia for what she really is . She s toxic , Jack . And she is not gon na change . Now , is it really any surprise that Lily and I think the only answer is to get rid of her ?
Jack : All right , so what do you do ? You set her up to look like a thief . And you expect me to approve ?
Carly : Fine , if you do nt like my tactics , then use your own . Just get rid of her , Jack , before she destroys everything and everyone that you care about .
Lily : Oh , you were sleeping .
Holden : Yeah . I was dreaming about you .
Lily : Really ? I had to come . I had to tell you about Aaron .
Holden : I m glad you re here . I miss you . I love you .
julia : What are you thinking ?
Holden : That I have not felt this peaceful in a very long time . I mean , hey , here I am . I m in mountains -- I got hiking , I got camping , I got fishing . I m a changed man .
Julia : Really ? Well , if you d rather be fishing , I ll get dressed . I ll help you saw a hole in the ice .
Holden : No , no , no . You re not going anywhere .
Julia : Hey -- I m sorry .
Holden : Why ?
Julia : I feel bad . Whatever s goin on with you and Lily , I mean , I -- my needing you , making love to you , I m sure it did nt help anything .
Holden : It helped .
Julia : You know what I mean .
Holden : Well , I mean this . Do nt be sorry . Cause I m not .
Will : I do nt want her here .
Margo : Who asked you ? Sit down . Will , I just do nt think you understand how much trouble you re in .
Rosanna : What kind of trouble ?
Margo : You purchased the car he totaled ?
Rosanna : Yes .
Margo : And he told you that he deliberately crashed it ?
Will : Yeah , I told her .
Rosanna : Will , you ve made it exceptionally clear you want nothing to do with me , but if you value your freedom , perhaps you should stop confessing to the detective . [ Rosanna sighs ] where does he stand legally ?
Will : I can take care of myself .
Margo : Well , you d better start figuring out how because you are in a whole lot of trouble .
Will : Why , because I crashed a car ? People do that every day .
Margo : Yes , they do , but unlike you , they do it accidentally , and unlike you , they report it , and unlike you , they clean up their mess and have it towed away .
Will : So I ll pay for the charges . What does it cost ? A couple hundred bucks ?
Margo : Try a couple of thousand , and we re not even starting with the criminal charges -- [ cell phone rings ] excuse me .
Rosanna : Look , Will , I know you were upset with me , but did you have to crash the car ? You could have just refused the gift . Why do something so malicious when I was just trying to be kind ?
Will : Trying to be kind ? Yeah , I guess that really nails it . Because it s so hard to do , because you hate my guts .
Rosanna : No , I do nt .
Will : Just stop trying to be kind , okay ? I know you ca nt stand me . And then you buy me this car , and --
Rosanna : Just tell me . What ?
Will : That car had nothing to do with me . You were just trying to impress Paul . You re trying to make nice to his kid brother and -- did you think I was too dense to figure it out ?
Rosanna : Do you think that s -- that s why you wrecked the car ? Because you thought it was some kind of bribe ? All I want is for her to be gone . For her not to exist at all .
Julia : I should go --
Holden : All right .
Julia : I do nt want the kids to come in . Luke or J.J. , if they walk in here and see me with you . I have to go back to my own bed .
Holden : All right , but not yet . Okay .
Julia : Okay . What ? What s the matter ?
Holden : I thought I heard a car door slam .
Lily : Holden ?
Holden : It s Lily .
Emily : I m sorry for getting upset . It s just -- it really means a lot to me that you believe me . I mean , my own husband does nt really believe me .
Paul : All right -- hey -- do nt fall apart on me , okay ? We ve got work to do . Sit down .
Emily : Yeah . Okay .
Paul : You ready ?
Emily : Yeah , let s get to work .
Paul : Okay . So this is what we know . You were sick , or feeling sick , when you supposedly broke into Fairwinds .
Emily : Yeah , I told you . I had the flu or something .
Paul : Right , but you do nt think you went to a doctor ?
Emily : I told you , I think I made an appointment . Hal wanted me to go . But I kept thinking whatever I had was gon na go away , so I --
Paul : And you could nt have drawn the map that we found on you of Fairwinds because you did nt know the layout .
Emily : No . I still do nt . It s changed too much .
Paul : So somebody must ve been feeding you information . Somebody must have gotten you to put Cabot s toys out , trying to scare Rosanna . Somebody who wanted to shake up all up , and -- somebody who wanted Will out of my house .
Emily : Barbara .
Paul : Well , she did have motive , and the proximity to you .
Emily : Why ? And she was so nice to me .
Paul : Emily , do you remember anything that my mother said about Rosanna or Fairwinds ? Concentrate . Because if you ca nt remember something that links my mother to what happened to Rosanna , then I do nt know if I can help you .
Jennifer : Run away with me .
Mike : Any particular place in mind ?
Jennifer : New York . Just for a week or so . Paul and Jordan want to expand the marketplace for Street Jeans anyway . So we can sell some jeans . See some shows -- make some love . Could you take a week off of work ?
Mike : To spend a romantic week with you ? Oh yeah . When ?
Jennifer : How about Valentine s week ?
Mike : Valentine s ?
Jennifer : It s romantic .
Mike : That s when Katie and Henry are tying the knot . Valentine s day , remember ?
Jennifer : Vaguely .
Mike : And you want me out of town before the wedding , because --
Jennifer : Now you ve got me obsessing , too . Who knows what Katie s up to next ? And if you re not here --
Mike : Whatever Katie says or does , it does nt matter .
Jennifer : Why not ?
Mike : Because you are my valentine .
Henry : Crack up the bubbly , buddy . These are for you , doll - face .
Jennifer : Thank you .
Mike : What are we celebrating ?
Henry : My wedding . And the man whose gon na keep me calm , hold the ring , and make the toast .
Mike : Henry --
Henry : Yes . You , Mike Kasnoff , you are my best man . Now , pop that cork !
Will : Paul put pressure on you to make things right with me , and you thought by bribing me with the car , it would do the trick .
Rosanna : All right . Yeah , that s partly true . Money usually works for me . It gets people to like me , or do what I want them to do -- sometimes even say they love me , even if they do nt mean it .
Will : And what was it supposed to get me to do ?
Rosanna : It was supposed to get you to forgive me for thinking that you would use Cabot s death to hurt me .
Will : I told you I did nt do it .
Rosanna : I know , but I just could nt see it . I could hear what you were saying . I was just -- I felt too guilty .
Will : Why ? You did nt kill Cabot .
Rosanna : No , but I did nt save him , either . And every reminder of him -- it was brutal . You got ta know what that s like .
Will : To feel guilty ?
Rosanna : To need forgiveness . Can you forgive me , Will ?
Jack : Sometimes I watch you sleep sometimes , too . And I thank God that I was lucky enough to find my way home to you and our kids . Julia s not a part of that , Carly .
Carly : As long as she s living in this town , she s a part of our life . Do you really think that she brought over that sexy little nightie for some kind of closure , Jack ? She wanted me to see it . She wanted me to imagine her in it . To imagine the two of you --
Jack : Okay . Listen , you got ta let it go .
Carly : I could if she would , but she ca nt . And if she can not have you to herself , she s gon na see to it that we are not happy together .
Jack : She s not making us unhappy , honey , you are . Instead of enjoying our lives , all we do is talk about Julia .
Jack : What do you expect me to do ?
Carly : Get her away from us , Jack ! Another town . Another state . Because if you do nt , I swear to you , nothing can ever be the same between us .
Jack : Is that an ultimatum ?
Holden : Wait .
Lily : You were sleeping .
Holden : Yeah . What are you doing here ?
Lily : Well , there s no service up here and phone , and I had to tell you about Aaron . He s fine . Everything s gon na be fine , but he collapsed .
Holden : What happened ?
Lily : He had a blood clot on his brain . They had to do emergency surgery , but he s gon na be okay . But I knew you d want to be there when he woke up .
Holden : Yeah . Yeah , you re right . All right , I ll tell you what -- give me some time to deal with Luke and J.J. And then I ll head back . I ll be right behind you .
Lily : Where is Jack and the boys ?
Holden : The boys are out in the back cabin , and Jack , he had to head home .
Lily : Why ?
Julia : Hi .
Lily : What s she doing here ?
Announcer : Coming up on As the World Turns --
Carly : I ca nt promise you that I m gon na stop trying to get Julia out of our lives .
Jack : You re serious ?
Mike : Why are you here ?
Henry : I am here to ask you to be my --
Mike : No . Are you sure it s not because Katie sent you ? This is nt some little ploy to get me into the wedding party ?
Lily : How could I be so stupid ? Of course you would come here . You have to tell Holden your side of the story about what happened at Emma s before I could give him mine .
Holden : Lily , stop .
Julia : You know , its okay . Look , initially , I came here because I wanted to pick up my son . I was so embarrassed by what you and Carly did to me -- making me look like a thief in front of Emma . I just wanted to get away from all of you .
Holden : That s understandable .
Julia : But after I told Holden the whole story , and Jack --
Lily : I do feel bad about what happened .
Julia : It does nt matter . Okay , it s not important . What s important right now is Aaron . I heard what you were saying as I came in . Is he gon na be okay ? You sure ?
Lily : Yes .
Holden : Lily and I need to get Luke and head back .
Julia : Okay , well , I m just gon na stay with J.J. I think waking him up in the middle of the night and Jack not being here would just upset him .
Holden : Okay . Just make yourself comfortable . We should go wake up Luke . He s in the back . Thank you . For being so understanding -- about everything .
Carly : I m not giving you an ultimatum , Jack . What could I possibly threaten you with ? That I ll leave you ? We both know I never could .
Jack : It s okay . Come here .
Carly : I just -- I just want things to go back to the way they were before you went over that bridge . Before there was a Julia Larrabee .
Jack : Sometimes it gets to me , too , honey . The way Julia s handling this J.J. thing , making him feel abandoned , making me feel guilty . I hate it , but , you know , you re not going to make it better by pulling the kind of stunt that you and Lily pulled today .
Carly : I did nt know what else to do .
Jack : It s got ta be rough , what you re going through . I can only imagine . But we ve got ta work this through together . I need you to make me a promise .
Carly : Okay .
Jack : No more dirty tricks . Hmm ? I need you to promise me that you ll never do anything to undermine Julia again .
Margo : Katie , of all the men in the world you choose to marry , you choose Henry Coleman ? What are you thinking ?
Katie : Well , he proposed and he s my friend and he would do anything for me .
Margo : Oh , but Katie .
Katie : Margo , listen . Simon , I loved and he left . Mike , I loved , and he does nt want me . Maybe it s time for me to marry somebody who loves me enough to stick around .
Margo : No , no , you ca nt do this .
Katie : Why not ?
Margo : Because life is unpredictable . And when you choose to go on a journey like this with someone , you need to it to be someone that you will love through -- someone that you would want to make love to . That would want to make love to you . You and Henry have nt --
Katie : No . No .
Margo : Okay .
Katie : I mean , we re -- we re waiting . You know -- till it s special .
Margo : Is Henry blackmailing you ?
Katie : No !
Margo : Then why would you want to marry a guy who , at best , is a good - hearted bamboozler , but at worst is really --
Katie : Margo , this is my future husband you re talking about , the man whose only mission in life is to make me happy , and to think I was going to ask you to be my matron of honor .
Mike : Me as your best man ? Why ?
Henry : Well , who else would I ask ?
Mike : I do nt know . Maybe someone who s never been engaged to your fiancée before .
Henry : Oh !
Jennifer : I m gon na go get glasses -- .
Mike : Stay . Henry s just leaving .
Henry : Whoa , whoa , wait , wait . Do nt you want to even think about this ? I mean , I thought we were friends , mike .
Mike : We are . Look , I ca nt do it anyway . Jen and I are gon na be out of town the week of the wedding .
Henry : What ? What do you mean you re gon na be -- why did nt you say anything about this ? Where are you going ? When did you make these plans ?
Jennifer : Just now . We re going to New York for Valentine s Day .
Henry : New York ? Ca nt you put this off ?
Mike : Henry , I am not going to be your best man . Find somebody else .
Henry : Who else , mike ? It s not like I hang around with a bunch of guys . I mean , you re kind of it in the friend department , you know ?
Jennifer : Mike , maybe we should --
Mike : Absolutely not . We made plans , okay ? Why are you really here ?
Henry : I am here to ask you to be my --
Mike : No , are you sure it s not because Katie sent you ? This is nt some little ploy to get me into the wedding party ?
Henry : Is that what you think ? That is so wrong . I love Katie just as much as you do -- as you did . Maybe even more . And I never dreamt in a million years she would agree to marry me , but she has , and this is real .
Jennifer : Henry , we re sorry --
Henry : My one and only wedding . I always had an image of how it would be -- Katie , a vision , my best friend standing up for me there . But , you know , if you ca nt make it . Have a fun in New York City .
Jennifer : What do you think ?
Mike : That he s full of it .
Jennifer : Well , I m not so sure . I mean , maybe -- maybe you should --
Mike : Well , you did nt get very far .
Henry : I always walk slowly when my dreams are shattered .
Mike : Is this really for real ?
Henry : I want to spend the rest of my life with Katie . That s about as real as it gets , Mike .
Mike : Well , if you re ordering the tuxes , I m a 40 regular .
Henry : Are you down for this ?
Mike : Yeah , we ll make sure your wedding goes off without a hitch .
Henry : You know , you really are the best man that I know !
Jennifer : Well , he looks happy .
Mike : I ll be happy , too , if you go to the wedding with me .
Jennifer : Wild horses could nt keep me away .
Emily : I told you how Barbara acted when I was sick . She was amazing . She took care of everything . She would make breakfast , lunch , and dinner . She would clean the house . She would do everything . I would get out of bed and help , and she d put me right back into bed . She d make me this tea and tell me the only way I was going to get well was to get plenty of sleep .
Paul : Okay , but my mother did nt mention anything about Rosanna ?
Emily : No .
Paul : Or Fairwinds ?
Emily : No .
Paul : You were with her all the time . What did she talk to you about ?
Emily : I do nt remember ! Okay ? I do nt remember .
Paul : Emily , I m trying to help you , all right ? But you got ta try and help yourself here .
Emily : I m trying ! All I remember is that Barbara was really kind to me .
Paul : That does nt make any sense . She has nothing but resentment for you . She hates that you re married to Hal , she ca nt stand that fact you re living in what she thinks is her house .
Emily : I know ! I ca nt stand her , either . I mean , we re constantly taking jabs at each other . That s why this does nt make any sense . The entire time I was sick , I do nt remember one unkind word from her . She was -- she was nice !
Paul : And your memory is all messed up .
Emily : Oh , God .
Paul : What if you got out of here and went home ?
Emily : To my house ?
Paul : Well , that s where you lost all these memories . Maybe that s where you ll get em back .
Will : So there s one person in the world who does nt like you . So what ?
Rosanna : So that one person happens to be my husband s brother . How do you think pail feels that you wo nt come around and talk him or see him and that I m the cause of that ?
Will : After a while . Maybe --
Rosanna : You know , if you want to be angry with the world for the rest of your life , that s your business . But to push people away who love you and are trying to help you , it s just cruel . I m not those kids at school and neither is Paul . And just so you know , I was going to tell Margo that the car had faulty brakes and that I will pay for any expenses incurred .
Will : Do you want me to say thank you ?
Rosanna : You know , if you ve decided that my assistance is so distasteful you d rather end up back at the hospital -- just say the word . And I walk away . Just say no .
Margo : Katie , you want me to be your matron of honor in this ?
Katie : Not if you re going to keep dissing my groom and my wedding .
Margo : All right , listen . Katie , I know that you can be impulsive -- do nt cry -- and if you want me to be at the wedding -- do nt cry -- then that is where I ll be . Please , just do nt cry .
Henry : Hey ! It s my future sister - in - law .
Margo : Do nt call me that .
Henry : Mission accomplished . Mike said yes to being the best man . Is nt that great ?
Margo : Oh . I get it .
Katie : Mike is Henry s best friend .
Margo : Mm - hmm . So this is nt a marriage . This is about getting Mike to be jealous . Hmm ?
Henry : I take exception .
Katie : Henry , let me handle this . Henry and I really are getting married .
Margo : Mm - hmm . Well , you re gon na have to do it without me .
Jack : Have you thought about what I asked ?
Carly : I thought about it . And I really wish that I could give you the answer that you want . But I ca nt . I ca nt promise you that I m gon na stop trying to get Julia out of our lives .
Jack : You re serious ?
Carly : You do nt see how manipulative she is , and that terrifies me . And if you re gon na close your eyes to this , then I guess it s up to me to deal with her . Because there is no way that I m gon na risk of losing you again .
Luke : Um , I want to go to the hospital with you to see Aaron .
Holden : Yeah , sure .
Lily : You want to drive with me , Luke ?
Holden : That s okay . I want him to come with me , since we had to cut our father - son trip short .
Luke : I left something in the cabin . I ll see you in the car , Dad .
Holden : Okay .
Lily : I guess that settled that .
Holden : Why do nt you go on ahead . I have to wait for Julia . I need to tell a few things about closing up the cabin .
Lily : Okay . I ll see you and Luke back at the hospital .
Holden : Lily -- I want to thank you for coming out here -- for everything .
Lily : I d do anything for you . I ll see you back at the hospital . Good night .
Holden : Thank you for being so generous .
Julia : Oh , come on , I meant what I said , Aaron s what s important .
Holden : Yeah , but you were discrete about what happened .
Julia : We do nt even know what we re doing . I mean , why would I throw it in Lily s face ?
Holden : What we re doing -- is amazing , and I have no regrets about what happened between us . Lily and I are separated . I just did nt want to tell her anything tonight , with everything that happened to Aaron .
Julia : No , hey , look , in case you re wondering , I have no expectations .
Holden : Expect to be doing this a lot from now on .
Mike : Are you sure you re okay with me being best man at Katie s wedding ? I know this is a little weird .
Jennifer : Actually , I feel pretty good about it .
Mike : Why ?
Jennifer : Because you cared what I thought . And you were willing to take a week off of work and go to New York just to make me happy .
Mike : It s only fair . I get happy every time I see you .
Jennifer : Oh . You really are the best man .
Henry : Are you okay ? I mean , you re not having any second thoughts here ?
Katie : No , are you kidding ? I am going to show Margo and Tom and Mike and Jennifer and everyone else that I am serious about this marriage . We are going to throw the best wedding Oakdale s ever seen .
Rosanna : Will , if you d like to come over , I know Paul would love to spend some time with you . And I could cook . Or you two could go out if you prefer .
Will : Rosanna ? You d cook ?
Rosanna : Well , I could make sandwiches .
Will : Okay .
Rosanna : Hey .
Paul : Hi . Hey .
Will : I ve got to go do some stuff .
Paul : Whoa -- well , we ll see you later , right ?
Will : Yeah . I guess . Thanks .
Paul : So , how d it go ?
Rosanna : Better . How d things go with Emily ?
Paul : I m not sure . She s gon na be out on bail soon , and when she gets back to her house , I think I have an idea about what could trigger her memory and get to the truth about what really happened .
Jack : I got ta go to the station , there s something I ve got ta take care of .
Carly : Ca nt it wait until morning ?
Jack : No . I ve got ta take care of it now .
Carly : Jack , there was a time that I would have lied to you . I would have sworn up and down that I d leave Julia alone , and then the minute your back was turned --
Jack : Right . So I should be happy that you honestly do nt trust me to take care of this ?
Carly : Is it so wrong for me to want to do what s best for my family ? For me to admit that I will do anything that I have to do to protect us ?
Jack : I do nt need your protection .
Carly : Jack .
Jack : Unless you promise me to leave well enough alone , there s nothing left to talk about .
Julia : What d you forget ?
Lily : My map .
Julia : Sorry , I thought you were --
Lily : Holden ? I want to thank you for not pressing the issue about what Carly and I did at the farm . I am -- I do feel badly about it .
Julia : We ve exchanged some pretty harsh words lately . See , when I get scared , I get not so nice .
Lily : Me , too .
Julia : I m willing to forget it if you are .
Lily : I d like that .
Julia : Lily , do nt worry , I think everything will work out fine now .
Holden : You were really nice to J.J. Thanks for that . Did you have any fun at all ?
Luke : Sure . How about you , Dad ? Did you have fun ?
Holden : Yeah . Yeah , I had fun .
Aaron : This is why I wanted my arm back . Thank you for not giving up .
Paul : We re going to go through this whole house , Emily . I m gon na start upstairs , you work down here . The evidence is here . We just need to find it .
Henry : Mike , you know , Katie s involved in a very delicate negotiation right now , so if you do nt mind --
Mike : What kind of negotiations ?
Katie : It s about a possible job .
Mike : At someplace connected to a murder ?

### Dialogue:
Ridge : You re pregnant ?
Caroline : Yeah .
Ridge : With Thomas child ? My beautiful wife ... and my son ... are having a baby .
Charlotte : I m totally going to die the next time I see your dad .
Thomas : You re not . I promise , all right ? I m the one who needs to start tiptoeing around .
Charlotte : Well , maybe meeting at my place next time would be a better idea .
Thomas : Yeah , definitely .
Steffy : Charlotte , there you are . Pam s been looking for you .
Charlotte : Right . Uh , well , I was just --
Steffy : Hitting on the designer ? That makes you look bad , too .
Eric : Steffy s role in Aly s death ? It was -- what are you talking about ? It was an accident .
Ivy : It was a horrific , terrible accident . A - a lot of things happened that night that people do nt know about , Eric . You asked why I got fired . Well , it all started because of that night . It started with how Aly died .
Eric : How Aly died ? Why would that have caused problems between you and Steffy ? I mean , you both lost your cousin that night . You were both grieving and in shock , standing on the side of the road together . I thought that would ve bonded you .
Ivy : Well , I mean , that s what should ve happened . We should ve come together , and we should ve helped each other with our grief . But instead , we decided to argue .
Eric : A very stressful time for both of you , especially given that you did nt have the greatest relationship to begin with .
Ivy : I mean , it s no -- it s no secret that we ve had some trouble in the past because of Liam . Look . Steffy and I have nt been getting along for a very long time now . And we re both to blame for that . But we both could ve done things very differently . And I want to make amends . We re cousins . You know , we re family , so we should be doing whatever we can to make this relationship work . And I tried . I actually tried . I reached out to her , and I apologized , and I was hoping that it would inspire something in her to maybe do the same thing , maybe let me have my place back at the family company , at least consider it . I want to work again . I want to be a part of the action . I mean , my last name is Forrester , too . Everyone seems to be forgetting that I told Steffy , I said , I m not gon na cause any trouble , and I will earn her trust back , but she just wo nt budge .
Charlotte : I ll head down to the showroom now , Ms. Forrester . Call you later .
Thomas : All right .
Steffy : When she does , do nt answer .
Thomas : She s not gon na sue , if that is what you re worried about .
Steffy : Does nt matter . It s inappropriate . I do nt understand you -- hooking up with the intern , punching Dad ? Why are you acting like this ?
Caroline : I wanted to forget about that night , just to put it behind me and pretend like it never happened . I almost could . I got to the point where I could -- I could look at Thomas , not even remember it .
Ridge : Now you re pregnant .
Caroline : So I had to tell you .... because that night want to forget just wo nt -- it wo nt fade away now .
Ridge : No . It wo nt .
Ivy : If there is anything you can think of , Eric , any suggestions at all -- [ Sighs ] Look , I m not asking for special attention . I m really not . It s just , this tension with Steffy , it s unbearable . I do nt think I can do it indefinitely .
Wyatt : Ivy has tried .
Ivy : It s humiliating , getting kicked out of my own family company ? Steffy s president . I get that . I have no way of challenging her decision .
Eric : But I do . I mean , that is why you re here , is nt it ? You want me to go over Steffy s head .
Thomas : Look , I m fine . Do nt worry about me .
Steffy : I ca nt help it . Have you even talked to Dad ?
Thomas : No .
Steffy : Maybe you should call him , extend the olive branch .
Steffy : Come in !
Monica : Sorry to interrupt . Ridge said he d leave the fabric sample ?
Thomas : Mm , yeah . It s right here . Uh , here is the order form and the samples .
Monica : Thank you .
Thomas : Yeah .
Monica : And can I say , it s great having you both back from Paris . I know it makes your dad proud , seeing you succeed .
Steffy : Oh , thank you , Monica . That s sweet . Thank you . See you .
Thomas : Well , at least one of us is making him proud .
Steffy : Oh , of course you do you just got to get past these issues , okay ?
Thomas : I m trying , all right . It s -- it s just hard to get past all these old wounds . You know , growing up the way that we did , I mean , Dad is the definition of an entitled man telling me that ... I want to focus on now . I want to focus on -- on growing my relationship with Dad . You know , he s -- he s married and starting a new family . I - I want to be there for that , you know ? I want to be a part of that . I just -- I want him to let me .
Ridge : Thomas knows ?
Caroline : No . Not yet . Just you .
Ridge : Tell me again about that night . Make me understand what happened there . Let me just -- I do nt --
Caroline : I - I ca nt , because I do nt understand myself . I ca nt . I ca nt .
Ridge : Tell me what you did . Tell me what he did to you .
Caroline : [ Sighs ] He came over because he -- he was concerned about me . I thought he was helping .
Ridge : Needed a friend , right ? He s your friend . He -- he came to help you . And then it s -- everything was so good ... so right , and now ... it s all wrong . Everything is wrong .
Caroline : He did nt know .
Ridge : He , uh --
Caroline : The -- the wine just hit me a lot faster than I --
Ridge : Stop . He wanted to get to me .
Caroline : No , I do nt think that he would -- I do nt think that he would --
Ridge : Stop ! Look at me . Look at my face . Want to hear all the horrible things he said before he hit me , before he lost his temper on me ? How I destroyed his life , destroyed his mother s life . Completely rewritten version of ... of what I remember his childhood being . He slept with you because he wanted to get to me . He wanted to hurt me . And he did . Broke my heart .
Eric : I do nt hold a title at the company anymore .
Ivy : [ Sighs ]
Wyatt : You re Eric Forrester . That s the title to hold .
Ivy : Eric , you and Stephanie built Forrester Creations . It only exists because of your hard work . Do you know that , um -- that Dad , he was so proud of you . He would always speak about you , and he would buy all the fashion magazines and show me all the pictures you were in .
Eric : No , he did nt do that .
Ivy : Yes . Mm - hmm . He did .
Eric : I did nt think my brother paid any attention .
Ivy : He was so proud . And he would nt just speak about the business . He would speak about your family , you , your children , your grandchildren . And then when you finally gave me the opportunity to design jewelry for this company , I mean [ scoffs ] It was just -- it was the culmination of everything I d ever hoped for . You know , moving to L.A. and not just being the -- the Aussie cousin that everyone would see in photos . I was thrilled I was so proud to be a part of this . You know ? So to just have Steffy take it away from me like that , it s just -- it s -- Uncle Eric , I need you to know how much I hate being in this position . I really need you to understand that .
Eric : I do . I get it .
Ivy : Do you ?
Steffy : I do nt think you have to be worried about being included in Dad s new life .
Thomas : [ Scoffs ] I punched him in the face .
Steffy : Yeah , he ll forgive you . Just go up to him tomorrow and apologize . You re his son . Just do what s right . He ll forgive you . I swear , Thomas . And he ll see that you re putting in some effort .
Thomas : I m trying .
Steffy : Yeah , we are both trying . And we ve both been extremely vocal about Dad dating Caroline . But they re married now . And they re thinking about having a child . And you said that you want to be there . You want to be part of this . Dad will appreciate that . So stop hooking up with interns and face punching . Dad will come around .
Caroline : What do we do now ?
Ridge : I do nt know .
Caroline : I can go . I can just go . I can just go away . I can --
Ridge : You do nt have to go away . You do nt have to go anywhere .
Caroline : You can . You can go . You do nt have to --
Ridge : I m not going anywhere , either . I almost lost you once . It almost killed me , so I m not gon na do that again . It s us . We can figure this out . I m sorry . I - I m ... you should nt have to go through this . I m -- what --
Caroline : [ Crying ]
Ridge : What do you need ? What can I do ? I -- you know we have options , right ? You do nt have to keep this baby .
Caroline : Some people ca nt get pregnant . [ Sniffles ] They try , and they try , and they try , and they -- they ca nt . And what ... what if this is it for me ? What if ... this is my only chance ? I always wanted to have a child , and now I have one growing inside of me , and I want it . I want to keep my baby .
Ridge : Well , that s it , then .
Caroline : Okay .
Ridge : We re having a baby .
Caroline : What ?
Ridge : We re gon na raise it as our own . We re married . You re pregnant . We want to have a family , so that s it . What do you say ?
Caroline : You would really do that ?
Ridge : I want to see something good come out of this . Okay ?
Caroline : Okay . Yeah , okay . How do -- how do we tell Thomas ?
Ridge : Thomas ? Thomas is never gon na know about this baby .
Ivy : I understand that Steffy s your granddaughter , and you have your own priorities to think out .
Eric : I do . I have my family , and I have my company . You and Steffy are a part of both . I ll speak to her .
Ivy : Really ?
Eric : You re my niece . You re a Forrester . I m not sure I understand exactly what s happened between e two of you , but , uh ... I ll talk to her .
Ivy : Thank you . Thank you so much .
Steffy : I still think it s a little crazy .
Thomas : What ?
Steffy : Our dad starting family . I mean , either one of us could ve made him a grandfather by now , but he s jumping back into doing the Dad thing . [ Sighs ] But , hey , that s what happens when you marry a girl half your age . What do you expect , right ?
Thomas : From Dad ? Hate to say it , but at I was expecting was for him to disappoint Caroline . He s just gon na string her along , get her hopes up about their relationship and then ... it would all come crashing down . Well , it -- it seemed like things were going that way . I m glad I was wrong . You know , he saw how important she was and how special she was . He gave her what she wanted . That meant a lot to her , that Dad agreed to give her that child .
Steffy : Nothing bonds two people more .
Caroline : What are you talking about ? We ca nt keep that from Thomas . We have to tell him about the baby .
Ridge : No . I do nt even want to hear his name .
Caroline : He has to know .
Ridge : Why ?
Caroline : Because we ca nt -- how could we -- we ca nt keep that from him !
Ridge : You re my wife . You re not supposed to have kids with other men . You re not supposed to have a kid with my son . When I married you , I said I would take care of you , take care of all of you . Now that includes a kid . So that s what we ll do . We ll raise him as our own . And Thomas wo nt know .
Caroline : Ridge ...
Ridge : You re my wife . And that s our child .
Caroline : How could we keep that from him ?
Ridge : How can we not keep it from him ? You needed a friend that night . You needed a shoulder to cry on . Thomas came over , and he was willing to give you much more than that , and he did . It was never about what you needed . It was about what he wanted . It always is . That s my boy . Using women , interns and ... [ Sighs ] and when he s out of words , he hits his father . So is -- is that ... what you want around your son or your daughter growing up ?
Caroline : [ Sniffles ]
Ridge : He s a child himself . He s incapable . That s why he ca nt know about this kid . You understand that , right ? Look at me . I know this is nt perfect . I know this is not your dream . It s not my dream , either . Did nt want to raise my grandkid . But I ll do it for you . I ll do it for us . Caroline , I m gon na love that kid with everything that I have . I will . And I will give him -- her , him , her ... a life that s filled ... with magical dreams ... fairy tales and wonderment and possibilities . Thomas is not gon na be part of that life . He s not gon na be anywhere near that kid . He s not gon na be anywhere near you . It s our child now . Our secret . Say yes .
Caroline : Yes . Okay . This is our baby . Thomas will never know .

Marlena : No . No . Ava , what are you doing here ?
John : I invited her ... for dinner ... and whatever .
Marlena : I see the picture s gone .
John : So were you . Are you here to stay ?
Sami : Mom ? Mom , oh , you re home ! Not home , but you know what I mean . I m so glad to see you . How was Eric ?
Marlena : He s got a few broken bones , but he s going to be fine . He sends his love . Oh , and , John , his love to you , also .
John : Good to know . May I freshen your drink ? I would like to discuss my next move .
Ava : Certainly .
Sami : [ Sighs ] I m really glad you re home , Mom .
Marlena : I m glad I m home , too , sweetie .
John : I want you to savor this . There is nothing like the combination of cognac and fine chocolates .
Ava : You have exquisite taste , John .
Marlena : Why do I feel like we ve interrupted something ?
John : Because you have . Can I get you a drink , Blondie ?
Marlena : No , thank you .
Ava : Mm . Dr. Evans , I ve been meaning to call you . I wanted to thank you . I took your advice , and I m shedding my past and moving on with my life .
Marlena : I can see you are .
John : Are you jealous ?
Marlena : John ... we are still married .
John : Well , the reality of that statement is you and I have nt been living or sleeping like husband and wife since I ...
Marlena : There s no need to expose the intimate details of our lives .
John : There are no intimate details .
Marlena : But we re working on the relationship .
John : No . You ve been in Colorado , attending to your son , while I have been coexisting here with our ... assorted relatives .
Marlena : I know , but ... in any event , I thought that -- I thought that deep down you were still committed to me .
John : I ve tried , Blondie ... but you re still pining away for that kinder , gentler , pathetically boring John of the past .
Marlena : I know . I must admit that I have tried to spark some of that memory .
John : Time is up .
Marlena : What ?
John : This is who I am . You re not interested . I m moving on .
Marlena : What ? To Ava ?
John : Well , let s just say that Ava and I are ... getting to know each other .
Sami : Mom .
Marlena : No . No . No . It s okay . [ Exhales deeply ]
Sami : There s been a lot happening since you ve been gone , starting with the turf war between John and Philip that has blown up .
John : Fired up . More to the point .
Sami : Right . Well , like I said , there s a lot going on and ... Mom , you ve got to do something . We have got to help John before he does something disastrous .
Victor : You re in way over your head , son .
Philip : I had nothing to do with that fire -- trust me .
Victor : What do you know ?
Philip : I ve got people checking on it .
Victor : This whole escalation with you and John is not good . The new John s a formidable opponent . I m worried about you , son .
Philip : Do nt be . I can handle it .
Victor : Well , we ll see . I did nt mean to get into that right now . We have more important things to worry about .
Philip : There s nothing more important than this .
Victor : Yes , there is . Your mother s in the hospital .
Philip : What ?
Victor : She did nt want to worry you until she was diagnosed .
Kate : [ Groans ]
Chelsea : Ca nt you do something to help her ?
Daniel : She s maxed out on pain meds .
Chelsea : Well , then figure out what s wrong with her .
Kate : Sweetie , he s -- he s trying , okay ? He s trying .
Daniel : And I will figure it out . Do nt worry .
Chelsea : Do nt worry ? She s lying here in excruciating pain , and you do nt have a clue why .
Ashley : The lab asked for another blood draw , doctor .
Daniel : All right . Do it . I ll be right outside .
Stephanie : Nick said you guys talked .
Max : I m sorry , Steph . I ca nt go there right now . I m beat . Good night .
Caroline : I m a good listener .
Stephanie : I do nt know what to do .
Caroline : Did something happen to Max ?
Kayla : Hey , baby .
Caroline : Oh , Kayla .
Stephanie : You know what ? I - I should go . Talk to my Mom , okay ?
Caroline : Okay . You and Steve must be so relieved about your baby .
Kayla : Oh , we are . We really are .
Caroline : Well , I ve been praying , you know ?
Kayla : I know . Thank you for that .
Caroline : Sure .
Kayla : Mom , why do nt we sit down so I can talk to you about Max , okay ?
Caroline : Sure .
Nicole : So , tell me . How are we gon na stick it to the old geezer ?
E.J. : We are not going to do anything .
Nicole : What ?
E.J. : And before I do , I need your solemn vow that you re not going to tell anybody that my annulment is valid . I will get you a hefty divorce settlement if you keep quiet . You do nt even have to go to court . It s what you ve been waiting for .
Nicole : I do nt know . I kind of like having this juicy information to dangle over you whenever I want .
E.J. : Well , it s your call .
Nicole : Although there is one thing you could give me that I d like a whole lot .
E.J. : What s that ?
Nicole : Your respect .
Marlena : Did something happen while I was gone ?
Sami : Someone lit a fire in a warehouse , and all of John s impounded cargo went up in flames . [ Baby crying ] Oh . I ll -- I ll be back .
Marlena : Yeah . John ...
John : I m playing hardball now . I ve got to fight fire with fire or Kiriakis is gon na run me right out of business .
Marlena : Have you got a plan ?
John : Yes . You wo nt like it .
Marlena : Not if it involves revenge or violence .
John : I do nt know which way to go with you anymore , Blondie . I ve tried to do it your way , walk the straight line , trying to impress you . Look where it got me . I ve been jailed , arrested for drug trafficking , and I m about to eat God knows how much in losses . I ve had enough . I m changing tactics . I m doing it my way .
Marlena : Or is that the Vitali way ?
Ava : Oh , Dr. Evans , I m new to the scene here , but I grew up with violence and lived with it my entire life , and , frankly , I m not a fan of it , but I do nt think John should sit back and be taken advantage of . He needs to stand up and fight for what s his .
Marlena : Thank you , Ava . John , you ca nt fight violence with violence .
John : It s not your call anymore .
Marlena : Are you saying you no longer value my opinion ?
John : I m just saying ... it s a new beginning .
Lucas : Hey . Are the kids asleep ?
Sami : Yeah . They are now .
Lucas : I want to kiss them good night .
Sami : Do nt wake them up .
Lucas : I wo nt . [ Cellphone ringing ] Hello ?
Philip : Hey , Lucas . Mom s in the hospital .
Lucas : What s wrong ? !
Max : Go away . [ Door unlocks ]
Stephanie : Max , I get that you re upset .
Max : What are you doing ?
Stephanie : You showed me where your extra key was .
Max : Steph , I need to be alone right now .
Stephanie : Well , I need to be with the man that I love . I do nt get what s wrong with you . No one does .
Max : So ?
Stephanie : So we ca nt help you until we know what the problem is .
Max : There s no problem .
Stephanie : Right . You re just fighting with people , lying to me , to Nick , stomping around like you re mad at the world , yet you claim there s no problem . Does your mom know how smart you are ?
Max : Why does that matter ?
Stephanie : Because you re gifted , Max , and for some reason you ve been keeping it a secret all these years .
Max : I m just good with numbers . That s all .
Stephanie : How do you think your pop would have felt about this ? He hated secrets .
Max : It s not that big of a deal .
Stephanie : You keep saying that , but it is a part of you . It s who you are . That makes it a big deal .
Max : Stephanie !
Stephanie : I have had it ! I need you to tell me what is wrong with you .
Chelsea : Tell me what s going on .
Daniel : Well , I could stand here and shoot the breeze with you , or I could get back to work and figure out what s wrong with Kate . The choice is yours .
Chelsea : Look , I was pretty abrupt with you earlier .
Daniel : Is that what you call that ?
Chelsea : I m sorry , but I need you to know that I still have complete faith in you . You cured my Dad , and I know that you can cure my grandma -- whatever s wrong with her .
Daniel : I m -- I m trying .
Chelsea : You re an amazing doctor . I mean , you helped me through a lot of stuff that I ll be forever grateful for . I just made the stupid mistake of falling in love with you , but --
Daniel : I m sorry . Did you just say falling --
Chelsea : You need to go , do your brilliant doctor thing , okay ? We ca nt talk about this right now . Feeling any better ?
Kate : What were you and Daniel talking about ?
Marlena : John ... are you turning your back on our past ?
John : I m looking to the future .
Marlena : I see . What does that mean to us ?
John : I may look like that guy that you re in love with , but I m not him ... and I never will be . You re in love with somebody else .
Marlena : Yes , that s true . I have admitted that .
John : Well , then I believe you have your answer .
Marlena : Then I need to pack my things .
Sami : Lucas -- [ Door closes ] Mom , what s going on ?
Marlena : I m moving out .
Sami : What ? Uh , Mom , you ca nt do that .
Lucas : Hey , Chloe , we got to talk later . My Mom is in the hospital .
E.J. : Respect . When did respect make it to the top of your list ?
Nicole : Believe it or not , it s always been in my top five .
E.J. : Okay . Why do you think that I should respect you ?
Nicole : There are a lot of reasons . First and foremost -- that I have nt told Sami about your marriage or lack thereof .
E.J. : And ?
Nicole : And I should tell her because she s not right for you , anyway .
E.J. : Who do you think is right for me ?
Caroline : Are you telling me that Max is a genius ?
Kayla : Well , I do nt know for sure , but Stephanie says that he is brilliant in math and physics .
Caroline : How could I not know that ? He s my son .
Kayla : Well , apparently he does nt want anyone to know . But , you know , I was here one night , and he was working on Nick s grant proposal . I do nt know exactly what happened , but Nick was upset . He spilled his beer all over the papers or something , and he left them . So Max stayed up all night redoing them . I m telling you , Mom , I saw them . They were right over my head , and you know how much math and science I ve had .
Caroline : And Max understood them ?
Kayla : He not only understood them , apparently he totally changed some of the answers .
Caroline : You re telling me he s a genius ?
Kayla : Well , it looks like it .
Caroline : Hmm .
Max : I m sorry you re upset , but it s not gon na happen .
Stephanie : I m a good listener .
Max : I know that . But there are certain things that I ca nt talk about . I ca nt tell you any more . It s just how I am . So can we please just drop this ?
Stephanie : No . Do you think I do nt see the pain in your eyes or feel your anger ? You re more angry now than you were when your pop died . I am scared for you , Max . I really am . I want to understand . I just want to help you , but you wo nt let me in .
Max : [ Exhales sharply ] I - I ca nt .
Kate : Sweetie , thank you . But do nt call Lucas , okay ?
Philip : Uh , too late . Sorry .
Ava : You love her , do nt you ?
John : Love ? I m not sure I know what that is .
Ava : Oh , I think you do .
John : My wife told me that she and I were very much in love once . It must be nice . I do nt remember it , though . I do nt really ... feel much of anything .
Ava : Well , maybe if you gave it some more time .
John : I do nt think so . I tried to get her to love me for me , for who I am now . It has nt worked .
Ava : Well , perhaps you re both trying too hard .
John : Well , frankly , I m tired of disappointing her . That s what I like about you . You have no expectations of who I should be or how I should act . It s refreshing .
Ava : Well , I like you , too , John . You make me feel good about myself , and I have nt felt that way in a very long time .
Chloe : I m sorry about your mom .
Lucas : Thanks , but I do nt have time . I got to go .
Chloe : Where ? You ca nt leave .
Lucas : Like hell I ca nt .
Stephanie : I m here . I love you , Max Brady .
Max : I love you , too .
Stephanie : [ Sniffles ]
Kate : That is great . Now all I need is for Lucas -- ow ! Ow !
Chelsea : Daniel ! Hurry !
Daniel : All right . Kate , talk to me . Talk to me . Where does it hurt ?
Kate : Here .
Daniel : Right here ? The lower right quadrant ?
Kate : Yeah .
Lexie : Okay . Everyone , I need you outside , please . Please wait outside . Thank you .
Daniel : All right . Does it hurt here ?
Kate : No .
Daniel : What about here ?
Kate : Yes !
Daniel : Okay . All right . It s presenting like acute appendicitis , but it s not . Look , I m not gon na wait any longer . I got to get in there . Kate , is there anything that you can think of ? Are you sure you did nt do any strenuous exercise -- something different , new to your body ?
Kate : No . No , nothing out of the ordinary -- I mean -- aerobics class , self- defense class . I always do that all the time .
Lexie : Have you been traveling out of the country ?
Kate : I wish .
Daniel : What about trauma ? Anything that you might have forgotten , something that you missed ? Accidents , falls , severe blows of any kind ?
Kate : [ Sighs ] I - I took , um -- I took a power kick in self - defense class the other day .
Daniel : Power kick ? Where ?
Kate : On the stomach . It really was nt anything . I mean , it just knocked the wind out of me .
Daniel : All right . I m gon na go check this out . Would you please watch her ?
Lexie : Sure . Yeah . Hang in there . Hang in there , Kate . You re gon na be okay .
Kate : [ Sighs ]
Nicole : So , how many times do I have to tell you that Sami is not for you ?
E.J. : Okay . Well , who do you think I should be with ?
Nicole : Well , for starters , someone who actually wants you .
E.J. : Ouch .
Nicole : I m sorry . I - I do nt mean to hurt you . I m just trying to be honest . You ve been so focused on Sami that you ve forgotten what s out there .
E.J. : It s not that I ve forgotten , Nicole , okay ? It s just that I m not interested because of my feelings for Samantha .
Nicole : And look where that s gotten you . Mm - hmm . Yep . You re living in a haunted mansion with a robot man , a creepy butler , your ex - wife s mother , and a woman who s tossed you aside for a jailbird with an ankle bracelet .
E.J. : [ Chuckles ] You really do nt pull your punches , do you ?
Nicole : No , I do nt , because you deserve better .
E.J. : Thank you ... I think .
Nicole : You re welcome .
E.J. : I mean it . I really appreciate your honesty , okay ? I ll certainly bear it in mind .
Nicole : And I promise to keep your secret .
E.J. : I can trust you , right ?
Nicole : Yeah . Come on . What do you want ? A pinkie swear ?
E.J. : A what ?
Nicole : A pinkie swear .
E.J. : A pinkie what ? [ Chuckles ]
Nicole : Okay . Do this . [ Chuckles ] Come on .
E.J. : Okay .
Nicole : I swear that I wo nt tell anyone ... that you and Sami are no longer husband and wife .
E.J. : Well , now I feel much better . [ Chuckles ] Listen , where I come from , we toast . So , to our new understanding .
Nicole : And to my filthy rich future .
E.J. : Good . Well , now that we have that agreed , I suppose it s about time I go and pay your soon - to - be ex - husband a little visit .
Nicole : Great .
E.J. : Thank you . All right . I ll be in touch .
Nicole : I should be so lucky .
Caroline : If Max has kept this secret for so long , why is it coming out now ? What happened ?
Kayla : I do nt know . I guess we re just gon na have to wait for him to tell us .
Caroline : Max has been in a bad place ever since Shawn died . I felt this was grieving , you know ? He s just waiting for closure . I should talk to him .
Kayla : Oh , no . Why do nt you -- why do nt you wait , okay ? He s got Stephanie right now .
Caroline : Hmm . That s true .
Daniel : All right . I got it . I got it . I found a slight anatomical abnormality in your latest C.T. scan . Now , under normal circumstances , you would nt be affected by it , but because of your recent trauma to the abdominal wall , namely your power kick , I am convinced it s an omental torsion .
Kate : An ornamental what ?
Daniel : Omental torsion .
Lexie : I ve never seen a case before .
Daniel : It s so rare . Most doctors have nt .
Lexie : Rare and extremely difficult to diagnose .
Kate : Great . What is it ?
Daniel : Well , it s a condition where the tissue in your abdomen gets twisted and creates a vascular constriction , cutting off the blood supply .
Kate : Uh - huh . Is it serious ?
Daniel : Not if I can do surgery and fix it . I ca nt be 100 % sure until I get in there , but once you re out of surgery , rest a few days , you should be as good as new .
Kate : Great . I thought I was history for a while .
Daniel : Well , I was nt worried . Let s get her on the surgery schedule as soon as possible .
Lexie : Good work . Kate s going to need immediate surgery . Daniel is in with her now , explaining the procedure .
E.J. : [ Clears throat ] Good evening , Victor . I think it s about time you and I had a little chat . Do nt you ?
John : You ve been in love , right ?
Ava : Oh , yeah .
John : How was it ?
Ava : It was wonderful . [ Chuckles ] Magical . Being in love is the best feeling .
John : So , why did you stop ... being in love ?
Ava : I did nt . He did . He left me at the altar .
John : Right .
Ava : And afterwards , I felt completely lost and all alone .
John : Probably about the way Blondie s feeling right now .
Ava : Yeah . Probably .
John : Are you up for some bubbly ?
Ava : Champagne ?
John : I was thinking hot tub .
Ava : [ Chuckles ] Of course you were . You know , it s funny , John . I just forgot to bring my swimsuit .
John : It s not a prerequisite .
Ava : Oh , listen . I want to thank you . I had a really good time tonight .
John : So did I , even though it did nt quite turn out the way I anticipated .
Ava : Yeah . Do nt worry about it . You seem to have your hands full .
John : Understatement .
Ava : I am curious , though . How many people actually live in this house ?
John : Too many .
Ava : John , if you need a friend ... please do nt hesitate to call . I m available .
John : Thank you . Good night , Ava .
Ava : Good night .
John : Doc .
Chloe : What s the deal with you , Lucas ?
Lucas : My Mom s in the hospital .
Chloe : You told me that , but it s not like you can walk out that door and go see her .
Lucas : You do nt have to remind me .
Chloe : Apparently someone has to . Why were you acting like that ?
Lucas : Like what ?
Chloe : Like you could just walk right out of here . Where were you when you called me ?
Lucas : I was here . Where else would I be ?
Chloe : On the pier .
Sami : Mom , please do nt go .
Marlena : We ve been through this already , Sami .
Sami : You ca nt leave me here -- not with John and E.J. and Lucas and the twins and this whole fiasco . I m asking you , please -- I m begging you not to go .
Sami : Mom , please do nt go .
Marlena : Stop it . I love you with all my heart . I would do anything for you . But I can not stay here with John any longer .
Sami : You expect me to ?
Marlena : The situation is different . Please try to understand that . Sami , I m -- I m sorry . Tell John that I ll send for the rest of my things . [ Door closes ]
Lucas : What are you implying ?
Chloe : Nothing . I m trying to be your friend .
Lucas : Could have fooled me .
Chloe : You were really nice to me . It meant a lot .
Lucas : Yeah , well , I ve been there . I know what it feels like to have your heart ripped out , or , in my case , just stomped on .
Chloe : I m sure you do . But what I do nt get is how you knew I was upset .
Lucas : Just intuition .
Chloe : I m not buying it .
Lucas : I m clairvoyant .
Chloe : Nope . I know this sounds crazy , but I think you were out there . I think somehow you got out and you saw me crying on the pier .
Lucas : I also have a sixth sense .
Chloe : Give it up , Lucas . How d you do it ?
Lucas : I didnt ... do it . I did nt do anything . I ca nt get this thing off my leg . Stop asking me about it , okay ?
Ava : Give me that drink . [ Chuckles ]
Nicole : Hey , girlie . So , how s our Johnny boy ?
Ava : Mmm . That s good . Let me tell you , he is , uh -- he s intriguing , you know ? He s very intense , but he s playful . How about you and that lovely lawyer ?
Nicole : [ Sighs ] Yeah . I do nt know . He is so caught up in that whiny blond bitch he s married to that he ca nt see a real catch when I m sitting right in front of him . But whatever . So , did you kiss ?
Ava : We ... ate and we drank and talked , and then he took me on a tour of his place , which he loves to refer to as his mansion . I got to tell you , though , I can not figure out who lives there .
Nicole : I know . It s weird , right ? But the question is , did you see the bedroom ?
Ava : I saw it . I did nt experience it , though .
Nicole : Too bad .
Ava : Oh , get this . Guess who showed up right in the middle of our date .
Nicole : Oh , let me guess . St. Marlena .
Ava : Mm - hmm .
Nicole : Oh , man , I wish I was there . I love seeing that stuff .
Ava : It gets even better . They had a little heart - to - heart right in front of everyone . She s moving out .
Nicole : She s leaving ? As in out of the mansion ?
Ava : Mm - hmm . She was packing as I left .
Nicole : That s great . Your path is cleared , my friend .
Ava : I do nt know . Hey , where is E.J. , anyway ?
Nicole : You re gon na love this . He s hitting up victor as we speak . So , soon I will become a free agent with a ton of money , and we can party . Cheers ... with one drink .
Ava : Yours . Go for it .
E.J. : Look , I m sorry to disturb you at a time like this .
Victor : Then do nt .
E.J. : Well , it s about your divorce .
Victor : I could nt possibly discuss that now . Call my attorneys in the morning . That s what I pay them for .
E.J. : You might want to listen to what I have to say . I have a deal to offer you . It expires in about five minutes .
Victor : You re out of your mind . Go away .
E.J. : Fair enough .
Daniel : Well , I figured out what s wrong with Kate . We have to do surgery to know for sure , but I have diagnosed omental torsion . It s a condition where the connective tissue in your abdomen gets all twisted and creates a blockage , which cuts off the blood supply .
Victor : Is it serious ?
Daniel : If left untreated , yeah , it can be .
Lexie : The diagnosis is the hardest part .
Daniel : And the fix is the easiest part -- once I get in there .
Chelsea : So she s gon na be okay ?
Daniel : Yeah . If the surgery goes well , and I m sure it will , Kate should be fine .
Philip : Thank God .
Victor : I ll second that . Did nt I tell you he was brilliant ?
Lexie : Well , you were right .
Philip : Dr. Jonas , thank you .
Daniel : I was just doing my thing , man .
Chelsea : Thank you , Daniel .
Max : I m so sorry , Steph . I wish I could tell you more , but ... no one can ever know about him .
Daniel : Maybe there s something to help relax you .
Kate : No . I m not gon na let you do the surgery .
Steve : What s got Max so tweaked ?
Kayla : It s like he s living a double life . He is angry and alienating his friends .
Victor : If you think you can blackmail me into settling , you re dead wrong .

Maggie : It shows .
Daniel : [ Whispers ] Damn it .
Nicole : Look , Sami , I - I ... I know you know what I did , but ...
Sami : Nicole ... it s okay . Look , that does nt matter now . I want you and Sydney to stay together . I need to do this .
Nicole : I do nt get it . You -- you need to help me ?
Sami : Let s not talk about this here , okay ? Let s go back to my place . We can work this out .

Maggie : Well , maybe you should check . It could be Daniel .
Chloe : Ah . Right . Okay .
Nicole : Hey , Chloe , it s ... Nicole . Listen , can you please -- please call me back as soon as you get this ? Look , that ... idiot teenager is gon na sue for custody of Sydney , and I know that I will never win . And I just -- I really need your help , okay ?

EJ : So he s back . That -- that s great news . Lexie ... that is great news , is nt it ?
Lexie : Look , I ... I have to warn you . There s no guarantee the father we know will be back .
Nicole : So you talked to Chad ?
Sami : Yeah . Yeah , and well , I almost got through to him too . And then things sort of blew up in my face and he got really pissed off and ... now I think he s more determined than ever to ... take Sydney away from you .
Nicole : [ Scoffs ] Not a surprise .
Sami : Tried talking to EJ .
Nicole : I wo nt even ask what he said .
Sami : Ha . But the one who matters the most to me is Mia . I asked her her opinion and ... and she wants more than anything for you to raise Sydney .
Nicole : Bless her heart .
Sami : The more I talked ... I just ... I just really believe that when it comes to your child , mother has a right to do anything .
Nicole : Anything being ...
Sami : Anything . Right or wrong does nt matter . When you re protecting your child , a mother has to do what it takes . Believe me , I did plenty of that with Grace .
Nicole : So much of what you re doing is about ... Grace and the decisions that you made when she was born ... keeping her from EJ ?
Sami : Yeah .
Nicole : Until she ... she was lost .
Sami : Right .
Nicole : Sami , would you ... feel the same way ... I mean , if you ... had nt lost Grace , if she were still alive today , would you want to help me ?
Kate : I know you re working , so I ll make this quick . But I do wanna talk to you about--
Stephanie : Philip . I know . Look , Kate , whatever s going on with you and Philip , I really ca nt get involved .
Kate : No , no , no , please , no . I would never , ever ask you to get involved in that . I just want you to know that I love him . I love him with all my heart . And there is nt anything that I would nt do to make sure that-- that he s happy . I m sure you understand that .
Stephanie : Yeah , I understand , but I mean--
Kate : Well , the good thing is I know what s gon na make you happy too .
Stephanie : I m sorry ?
Kate : The two of you , sweetheart . You and Philip belong together .
Philip : Well , since you asked ... this year Titan sponsored the graveyard movie series , which means I have to cut a check for the Clean Parks foundation . That s why I m here .
Melanie : Cool .
Philip : Mm - hmm .
Nathan : Shoot !
Melanie : What ?
Nathan : I -- oh , I know where I left it -- my cell . I think I left it by those interns we were talking to . I ll be right back .
Melanie : Okay .
Philip : So ... all those questions when I showed up-- what d you think , I was stalking you ?
Melanie : [ Laughs ] Oh ... no . No . No , of course not . I just was wondering why you were here alone . And now that I know it s a charity function ... I m sure there are like a hundred women who would die to be with you tonight .
Philip : Maybe . But no one I was interested in ... was free .
Maggie : So Nicole was actually carrying EJ s child .
Chloe : Right , uh ... but she had a miscarriage .
Maggie : And she did nt tell him .
Chloe : No . She did nt tell anybody . She wore padding under her maternity clothes and she just made sure that EJ did nt get too close .
Maggie : Oh , dear God in heaven ! And then she adopted Sydney .
Chloe : Right . Except the adoption was nt really legal , and now some boy has found out that he s really the father of Sydney , and he s trying to take her away ... it s just -- it s really awful .
Maggie : Oh , I should say . But if Nicole is-- are you okay ?
Chloe : Yeah , um ... it s just the idea of adopting a baby and then having someone come and take it away . I just do nt think I could survive something like that .
Maggie : Well , you wo nt have to , sweetheart .
Chloe : No . I wo nt . Because you know what ? Daniel and I are gon na have our own baby .
Maggie : You re pregnant ?
Chloe : No ! No , not yet . But ... soon .
Maggie : Um ... but , um , Chloe , um ... considering your medical history , would that be wise ?
Chloe : Maggie , everything s gon na be fine . Trust me . Everything will be absolutely fine .
Daniel : Well , see , the thing is I m personally involved in this woman s case . So I need an outside expert opinion to say yes or no to my conclusions .
Sami : If Grace were still-- how can you even ask me that , Nicole ? Look ... I feel what I feel , and I want to help you .
Nicole : [ Sighs ] That s very good of you , Sami , but you -- you ca nt help me .
Sami : Yes , I can . Are you kidding me ? I can help you . Look , let s just start at the beginning , right ? You need what -- lawyer , a place to stay . Let s just work it through . Nicole .
Nicole : Look , Sami , I-- I made a very big decision , okay , and you have to promise me that you wo nt tell anyone .
Sami : Okay .
Nicole : I m leaving the country . Permanently .
Sami : Wow .
Nicole : I mean , let s face it ... Chad is Sydney s father , and the law is on his side . And -- and the only thing that I can hope for is that we run to a country that does nt have an extradition treaty with the U.S.
Sami : And then what ? I mean , how are you gon na take care of both of you ?
Nicole : I do nt know , I do nt know . I mean , that s the problem . I barely have enough money to get out of Salem . I mean , EJ -- he locked down my credit cards , my ... bank accounts the day he found out .
Sami : Shocker .
Nicole : So do you see what I mean ? I mean , the kind of help I need , Sami , it is way too much to ask .
Sami : It s a lot . But it s not too much .
Nicole : Look , Sami ... I really appreciate everything that you ve done--
Sami : Nicole . Nicole . You ... are Sydney s true parent . You are her mother . And that is the most important thing in the world . No one can take your place .
Chloe : Hey ! Well , dinner s a total bust , but I ve got dessert covered , thanks to Maggie . I unsuccessfully tried cooking .
Daniel : My God , you re hot . So hot ... you re burning . What is that smell ?
Chloe : What are you doing ? What do you have there ?
Daniel : Me ? What , this ? Oh ! No , I just , uh ... spotted something exotic and beautiful , and I just happened to think to think of you . And because I love you .
Chloe : I love you . And they are gorgeous . Thank you . And you -- mm . Not so bad yourself .
Daniel : Yeah ?
Philip : Yeah , well , I better go . This felt too much like work , and I need some down time .
Melanie : Yeah , well ... it was good to see you .
Philip : It s good to see you too . As always . You and Nathan have a good night . I mean that .
Nathan : Ta - da ! Ah !
Melanie : You found it !
Nathan : Yes , thank God .
Melanie : Good .
Nathan : So where d Philip go ?
Melanie : Uh , Philip , um ... Philip left .
Nathan : Mm . That s too bad .
Melanie : Well ... it s just us . And , uh , we can finish our date , cause remember , the movie was just the first half .
Nathan : Right . And now we ... have nothing else to do .
Melanie : Now ... we just be ourselves .
Nathan : All alone .
Stefano : [ Muttering ]
Lexie : He s right on the verge . Father ?
EJ : Hey , father ... can you hear me ?
Lexie : Father , can you open your eyes ? Hi .
EJ : Hey .
Lexie : How do you feel ?
EJ : Hey . Do you know who we are ?
Sami : Nicole ... what s wrong ? Did I say something ?
Nicole : Oh , no . No , Sami , no . It s -- it s not you , it s me .
Sami : Look -- hey , hey , relax , okay ? You re okay . Just calm down and -- and tell me what s wrong . You do nt want Sydney to see you upset , right ?
Nicole : [ Whispering ] No , I do nt . I m sorry ... Sami . I m so , so sorry .
Sami : It s okay . It s gon na be okay . You re gon na be fine . Look , just tell me what s wrong , and we ll fix it .
Nicole : It s just what you said , it s just ... that no one can take my place . I mean , anyone ... anyone else would say , after they found out , that I m disgusting , that I m a liar , and that I would nt make a fit mother .
Sami : Well , they do nt understand the facts the way that I do .
Nicole : Oh , God , I--[Sobs ]
Sami : Nicole ... Nicole , you are a fit mother . I have seen you with your daughter . Biology is in everything . Come on , Nicole . It s okay . This is gon na be okay . I m gon na help you .
Nicole : No .
Sami : We re gon na work together -- we are going to find a way so that you can keep Sydney .
Nicole : No ! No , Sami ! This is all wrong ! You are the last person in the world who should be helping me !
Stephanie : Listen , Kate , I m ... just gon na be blunt with you . Philip and I are not getting back together . Look , I loved your son , and I wanted to be a part of his life . But only if he were the guy that I wanted him to be , not the guy that he was . And that s unfair . You ca nt insist that someone change or you wo nt love them . It s a horrible thing to do to someone , and so I had to end it , and Philip understands that .
Kate : Stephanie ... you ca nt just set up ... a set of laws and rules for yourself and expect that you re going to be able to live your life by them because ... it just does nt work out that way . You love Philip , and he loves you . And that s the best that you--
Philip : Mother ! Shut up .
Melanie : Ow . [ Giggles ] Well , now you know why my middle name is klutz . And my shoes were so perfect , and they fit so well , and they were the perfect color and-- well , it s not like it really matters . We were just sitting on the grass watching a horror film that was nt even that scary . I m sorry .
Nathan : For what ?
Melanie : You re just probably tired of hearing me go on about the movie and my shoes and everything .
Nathan : Not at all . I just ... cant get over how beautiful you are .
Melanie : [ Whispers ] Wow . That was very sweet of you to say .
Sami : Why am I the last person in the world who should help you ? Look , I can see that you re stressed out , and obviously , talking to me has opened up some sort of floodgate here . But if you just talk to me , we can work through this . We can fix it .
Nicole : Sami ... you do nt understand . What you need to know is that--
Nicole : What you need to know is--
Sami : What , are you making some crazy noises there , Sydney ?
Nicole : Yeah , she does that sometimes .
Sami : Okay . So what do I need to know ?
Nicole : You re a mother , Sami , and ... if you help me , you could get in trouble , and that-- that would put Allie and Johnny and will at risk .
Sami : I m not gon na get caught . Okay , if it makes you feel better , then do nt tell me where you re going . That way , no matter what happens , I ca nt give you away .
Nicole : Yeah . I suppose . But that does nt even matter , Sami , because I need like $ 50,000 , and I know you do nt have that kind of money .
Sami : But I know where I can get it .
Nicole : Wait , Sami -- no ! You ca nt tell anyone about this !
Sami : Do nt worry . You sit tight . I ll be right back .
Daniel : You know , I got ta say ... as a physician , um , I would nt really recommend eating cake for dinner , but this ...
Chloe : I highly disagree .
Daniel : Oh ?
Chloe : Yeah . But you know what I was thinking ? I keep seeing all these cooking classes everywhere . I should just sign up for one .
Daniel : Yeah . You just do nt wanna burn down the apartment .
Chloe : Ha .
Daniel : Well , you know , restaurants exist for a reason .
Chloe : Yeah , but ... I really feel like I should learn -- for your sake . For my sake . For the sake of our future kids . I mean , it s really important to have healthy food at home for kids , you know . Here we go again .
Daniel : What ?
Chloe : Well ... every time I bring up having kids , you end up acting all weird and grim . Is there something that you re not telling me , Daniel ?
Daniel : Now , look , Chloe ... after everything that we have been through ... I have made a promise ... to tell you everything , keep nothing from you , no matter what .
Chloe : This is sounding serious .
Daniel : It is . Look , honey ... about having a baby ... there could be a problem .
Melanie : Uh ... Maggie , we just came -- we just came home early cause the heel broke off the-- the bottom of my shoe . Can you believe it ?
Maggie : I told you I did nt want anything going on here in my home .
Melanie : There was nt .
Nathan : Yeah , no , um , we were teasing , and we werent--
Maggie : I know what I saw ! Okay ? And I know I made things clear .
Melanie : [ Stammers ] Crystal . You did .
Nathan : Yeah . Sure . Understood . It s not gon na happen again .
Melanie : Yeah , no , absolutely not . Me and Nathan , trust us , we re cool .
Maggie : But see , that s just the point though , is nt it , Melanie ? You told me one thing , and you did the exact opposite when you thought I would nt find out . So now I ca nt trust you or what you say .
Stephanie : If you guys will excuse me , I need to ... go home and go to bed early .
Kate : You stay well . I ll be in touch .
Philip : Just ignore her , Steph . Do nt give her the time of day .
Kate : [ Scoffs ] Okay , look , I understand that you re still angry with me .
Philip : You have no right to interfere in my life , okay ? Ever again !
Kate : Even though you ve thrown me out of your life , I still care about you . I ca nt stop loving you , baby .
Philip : You mean you ca nt stop interfering .
Kate : Well , someone needs to , because you wo nt look at the truth . You wo nt face the truth .
Philip : What the hell is that supposed to mean ?
Kate : It means that you re doing everything wrong .
Nicole : Ohh ... when Sami comes back with the money , sweetheart , we have to go straight to the airport . Yeah . Although I do nt know if she ll come up with enough . Then we ll be right back to square one . But still ... I mean , just ... thinking about saying good - bye . You wo nt see EJ again or your Grandpa Stefano or your ... or Sami . But if we can go -- and that s exactly what we re gon na do , because no one s gon na take you away from me ... no one can know that you re Sami s baby . Because you re all I have , honey . [ Whispers ] You re my life . You re my life .
EJ : Father . Father . Do you know who I am ? Can you -- can you hear me , father ? Hey . S - squeeze my hand . Squeeze my hand if you understand what I m saying .
Lexie : He s still not quite back yet . Be patient . It may take a while .
EJ : Lexie s here . You know who Lexie is ?
Stefano : Of course I can see Lexie . And I can see you . Mm ... now . I would really appreciate if you d stop yelling .
EJ : [ Laughs ] Oh , he s back . Hi , Daddy .
Stefano : Of course I m back . What did you expect ?
Daniel : Just -- just hang on a minute . I have already arranged to run some tests on you this Friday at the hospital .
Chloe : Right . Run some more tests .
Daniel : Yes .
Chloe : You re doing this on purpose .
Daniel : What ? What on purp--
Chloe : You think I do nt know what you re doing ?
Daniel : Baby , baby , baby , no , no , no--
Chloe : Come on , Daniel . You said that you were willing to have kids and that I m in remission and that there would be no problems . But you did nt mean a word of it , did you ?
Daniel : No , no , no , no , that is not true .
Chloe : You ve already decided that d be too big a risk or , I do nt know , maybe you did nt want to have kids to begin with .
Daniel : What are you talking about ? No , no , no , no .
Chloe : And that s why you want to run these tests , because you want to prove to me that it ca nt happen -- is that what it is ?
Daniel : No , no , not at all .
Chloe : Having children is a decision that we should both make , okay , and you are making it yours and only yours .
Daniel : Hey ... shh . Slow down . Just slow down and listen to me . It s not just about your health . At least not in the way you think , see ? There could be , um , another problem .
Nathan : You know , I understand you re upset , all right , but ... you know what , you re right . This is your house . You set the rules . We broke em . I mean , all I can do is assure you it ll never happen again .
Maggie : Well , I wish I could believe that ... but I ca nt . So I m sorry . I ca nt have the two of you living here together anymore .
Nathan : What ?
Melanie : Okay . I ll pack my things .
Nathan : No , the hell you will .
Philip : I m doing everything wrong ? [ Laughing ] That s a good one coming from you .
Kate : Let s get real , okay ? You have absolutely no ability to handle the relationships you have with women .
Philip : Oh , for God s sakes .
Kate : It s the truth ! It s the truth . Look at the women you ve been close to-- Chloe , Belle , Morgan . All of those relationships ended in disaster . Stephanie has been the one bright light in your life .
Philip : I do nt want to talk about this , okay ? Especially with a woman who tries to poison people in her spare time .
Kate : Tell me you ll think about it . Tell me that you and Stephanie will reconsider .
Philip : We re done here . Okay ? You wanna worry about something , go worry about your new family . A family who does nt just try and kill people . They actually succeed . Well , in most cases , anyway .
Kate : Philip , do nt .
Philip : Go home to the DiMeras , mother . Bore them with your ... stupid advice and phony concern . Go . Now .
EJ : We were so worried . I can not tell you how relieved we are right now .
Lexie : Yeah . You re going to be feeling a little weak . It may last a few days . But I expect a full recovery .
Stefano : [ Exhales ] My lovely Alexandra . Such a lovely smile . [ Exhales ] How long was I out ?
Lexie : A few days . But as I said ...
Stefano : Where s -- where s my lovely wife ?
EJ : You ... sure that you , uh , you want her to come after everything that happened ?
Stefano : Oh , Elvis , come on . She had nothing to do with what happened to me . [ Laughs ] I brought it all on myself . Come on . Ah , God knows ... I will stick to my diet .
Stefano : To the letter , okay ?
Lexie : You d better .
Stefano : Now , will somebody please call my wife and tell her I want her by my side ?
EJ : Of course .
Stefano : Is it too late for me to see my grandchildren ?
Sami : Hey , Sydney . Okay , Nicole . Here you go .
Nicole : Oh . Sami , is that--
Sami : 50,000 .
Nicole : How in the world--
Sami : Just promise you wo nt tell anyone .
Nicole : Okay .
Sami : When I got out of witness protection , John got a message to me . He let me know he d be there for me , money in case I needed it for emergencies . What d you think , I d been living on my good looks alone ?
Nicole : That s amazing .
Sami : He s an amazing guy .
Sami : Right , Sydney ? I knew this was the right way to spend that money . I want you to have it .
Nicole : Thank you , Sami , I-- I do nt know what to say . Oh , god , I--
Sami : Do nt , okay ? Do nt start crying again , cause you do nt wanna let Sydney know . She has a big day ahead of her , right ?
Nicole : You re right . You re right .
Sami : Yeah , Syd , you re gon na go on a trip with your mommy . And I guess that means , um ... I guess that means this is good - bye . Can I say good - bye to her ?
Nicole : Yeah , of course .
Sami : Hey .
Nicole : She s a little playful right now .
Sami : Hey , pumpkin .
Nicole : She s been jumping around . Say bye - bye .
Sami : I know you love these keys . You wanna hold onto the keys ? Hey , Syd . Can I just tell you that it has been so fun knowing you . You are an amazing girl . You re so sweet ... and I m really gon na miss having you in my life . I know you , uh ... I know you wo nt remember me , but ... I will never forget you .
Nicole : Sami , I ca nt thank you ... enough . I mean , if -- if-- I do nt know what I would have done if ... if you did nt help me . And you ... you have no idea how much you ve given me .
Sami : Well , you have no idea how much it means to me ... to be able to do this for you . To help you keep your little girl . I should be thanking you .
Daniel : Hey , I was concerned , okay ? I know how much this means to you ... so I went over your records today and I ... spotted some things and , um ...
Chloe : Please just tell me .
Daniel : Come here . Come on . There is a very good chance that having a baby may not be a decision we get to make .
Chloe : Why not ?
Daniel : When you were ill ... the treatment you got ... it s likely that you may never be able to conceive .
Kate : I ll go . And I ll leave you alone . But I m not going to stop caring about you . And I m not going to stop worrying about your future .
Philip : Just leave .
Kate : You re headed into another disaster in this relationship with Melanie Layton . I know I ca nt stop you . But for the life of me , I ca nt understand what you see in her . Maybe you should ask yourself that question .
Nathan : You re not leaving , Melanie .
Melanie : No , it s -- it s my fault , it always is . I mean , Maggie warned me--
Nathan : Listen to me . You re not leaving , okay ? If we both ca nt live in this house , then I m moving out .
Stefano : If it s possible , you know , I would very much like to see Theo and Giovanni and my darling Sydney . And of course ... Nicole .
Lexie : Father , I -- I m not sure the children are going to be able to--
Stefano : Yes , yes , yes , I understand it s much too late , but I still want to speak to Nicole . So Elvis , please call her . Tell her to come .
EJ : Uh ... actually ... well , uh , Nicole ...
Stefano : Nicole ... what ? Wh - what -- what is going on ? Where is your wife ? Where s Nicole ?
Sami : Okay , Sydney . It s time to say good - bye . [ Sniffles ]
Nicole : Bye - bye . Thank you .
Sami : Yeah . Hey , Nicole , just , um ... be happy .
Nicole : Always .
Sami : Take good care of her .
Chad : How the hell is this any of your business ?
EJ : She s not my daughter .
Stefano : She is !
Nicole : I will trample anyone who gets in the way , and that includes you , you hateful bitch !

Cassie : And you just happened to know where he was going and that he was after me .
Dinah : Yeah . It was a hunch . Cassie , look , I know that you think I constantly plot against you , but every now and again , i might surprise you with something unexpected , something amazing .

Danny : What else ? What else ? Anything else ? ( Crying )

Edmund : Tammy , have you seen your mother ?
Tammy : No , I havenT.
Edmund : It s a crib .
Tammy : Yeah , I can see that . But the question is , what is it doing here ?
Edmund : If you remember , your mother and i were planning on having a child .
Tammy : Yeah , before she left you because you almost killed her and rj and jeffrey oneill in a fire that you started , and then covered the whole thing up .
Edmund : I made a mistake , tammy . I m trying to make up for it .
Tammy : Edmund , I do nt even know if I can forgive you for what you did . I ca nt imagine where mom stands on it .
Edmund : I can .
Tammy : What is this ? You think this will make things better between you two ? It ll just do the opposite .
Edmund : No , tammy , there s a crib here because ...
Tammy : What ? What is going on ?
Edmund : There s a crib here because of faith , tammy , pure and simple-- faith that your mother s going to come back to me . I m just getting ready for that .

Cassie : Wow . I bet you have .
Dinah : And I feel partly to blame for the way things have ended up in your life , and i have this responsibility to make them better .
Cassie : I do nt want you to think that you owe me anything . I do nt want you to think about me at all . All right ?
Dinah : I like it , though . I like helping you . I m getting good at it . When i was at your house tonight , i was so impressed .
Cassie : You were at my house ?
Dinah : Yeah . I found that yummy little negligee , the red one with the black lace . It s beautiful .
Cassie : What were you doing in my house , wearing my clothes , and in my closet , dinah ? What the hell were you doing ? What ?
Dinah : Watch it ! I m pregnant .
Cassie : You re pregnant ?
Dinah : It s official . I just got back the test results .
Cassie : How do I know you re telling the truth ? You ve lied about this before .
Dinah : Fine . Do nt believe me . Watch what happens to me over the next nine months .
Cassie : So you re going to have a baby ?
Dinah : Yep . I m sorry if this is hard for you to hear . I know you ve been trying to have a child with edmund .
Cassie : Do nt do that . It s none of your business , dinah .
Dinah : Ca nt you be a tiny bit happy for me ?
Cassie : So who s the alleged father ?
Dinah : How would you feel if i said jeffrey ?
Cassie : What ? I would just be very disappointed with him .
Dinah : You being the person who makes one perfect decision after another , right ?
Cassie : No , i can just recognize a really terrible mistake .
Dinah : I know how difficult this must be for you to see my life finally come together while yours is falling to pieces . But edmund would do anything for you . That s no exaggeration .
Cassie : Thanks for you help . I think we re done here .
Dinah : You re an ingrate . You know that ?
Cassie : What ?
Dinah : You heard me . You have no idea how much I m helping you .
Cassie : If you are pregnant , I feel so sorry for that baby .
Tammy : You think mom s going to come back and you ll just have a kid just like that .
Edmund : No . There s going to be a baby in this house , tammy . There s not a question of if , only when . That s why there s a crib here .
Tammy : That s not faith . That s just nuts .
Edmund : Nuts is throwing away what two people who love one another have built together , and your mother is going to realize that .
Tammy : How ?
Edmund : By forgiving me and picking up where we left off . We can still have the life we want .
Sandy : You make it sound so simple .
Edmund : It is . Tammy , this baby is not just going to be a new member of the family . It s going to be the glue that binds us together forever .
Tammy : That s a lot of pressure on a tiny little baby .
Edmund : Tammy , we re are all going to be very , very happy . I have to get my tools out of the barn .
Tammy : It s cool if he s right , but i do nt know . ( Phone rings ) hello ?
Cassie : Hey , it s me .
Tammy : Mom ! Where are you ?
Cassie : It does nt matter , honey . I really need to see you . Can weet together ?
Tammy : Are you okay ?
Cassie : Yeah . Are you okay ?
Tammy : I guess . I think we have a lot to talk about though .
Cassie : Yeah . Can you meet me at company ?
Tammy : I m on my way .
Marina : I ca nt wait to see him to thank him for these . ( Phone rings )
tony : So what is it , ray ? You do nt seem to thrilled about the news .
Ray : I guess I saw it coming . That s all .
Tony : That I d ask michelle to marry me , right ?
Ray : Never figured it could happen so soon .
Tony : Okay . Hey , you know what ? Look , I do nt want to do this with you . I do nt want to argue with you .
Ray : Look , tony ...
Tony : Ray , you have been against this from day one with me and michelle .
Ray : I m against the idea of looking for trouble .
Tony : And you re constantly looking for reasons to call it a lousy idea . God , ray , we should have gone and eloped and not told anybody about the whole thing .
Ray : You d still get major opposition either way . Tony , when this thing hits ...
Tony : This thing ? What do you mean , this thing , ray ? You act like this is a disease or something . Okay , first of all , I m your brother . I would nt go off and elope . Okay , michelle and i , we ve got nothing to hide , ray .
Ray : I know you care about michelle .
Tony : I just do nt care about her . I love her . All right ? And she loves me . That s i ve been trying to tell you from day one . It was her idea , her decision to divorce danny . It s her decision to be with me . Okay ? You know , ray , you know what ? You tell me . Tell me right now to let go of michelle because she should be with danny . Or you tell me that she is going to wake up one morning and realize that she should be with danny because that s the guy that god wants her to be with ?
Ray : Well , at least you listened to what i said .
Tony : You know what , ray ? I listened to every single thing you ve ever said to me everything . But you ask yourself why you re so convinced about danny s life being so perfect and when his life is good . You re more concerned about that than when your little brother s life is either good or bad . You can care less , ray .
Ray : Tony , that is not true .
Tony : It is true , ray . You ve always took me for the guy that would never get it right . That s how you looked at me .
Ray : I am just trying to look out for you .
Tony : Ray , because you always considered me a loser , you know that . And you would never give weight to anything that i ve ever cared about ever , or anything that i ve ever wanted . I do nt want much , ray . I do nt want much at all . The only thing i want is happiness . And in your eyes ... In your eyes i ll never deserve that . I m tired of this .
Danny : ( Crying ) you do nt know how hard I ve prayed for this to happen . I have nt been able to forgive myself for what I did to you .
Michelle : Shh . Shh . It s okay . It s okay . Danny . Danny , look at me . I remember our wedding . I remember all of it .
Danny : ( Laughing )
michelle : And i remember the day that robbie was born .
Danny : Oh , god .
Michelle : He was so tiny and so pink . And I just wanted to smell him .
Danny : You kept putting your head to his ...
Michelle : My nose . I kept smelling his head . I know . And I remember you holding him for the first time .
Danny : That was the greatest day of my life , before this one . I ca nt believe it .
Michelle : Oh , me , too . Me , too . Oh , this is so strange , danny . I got hit on the head , and just ... Just everything is flowing back to me . God , what if i wake up tomorrow and it s all gone ?
Danny : No . No , you re back . You re back . I can see it . You re back . Oh , god . Do you know how much i ve missed you ? I ve missed you so much .
Michelle : Me , too . Me , too . Oh , you feel so good . Oh , god . I remember this . Oh , I remember this feeling . I remember this . Coming up on guiding light ...
Michelle : Oh , god , there s so many people I ve got to tell . I ve got to tell robbie , rick .
Danny : What ?
Michelle : And tony ?
Jeffrey : Come home with me . All the words they have been spoken and all the rivers have been cried and in a dream I whisper in your ear and watch you smile and say you love me when you rise
cassie : Oh , baby . It is so good to see you .
Tammy : I feel like I have nt seen you in months .
Cassie : I m sorry . And I m so sorry about the fire . I was nt here .
Tammy : It s okay . It s good that you re back , mom .

Tammy : Things have just been kind of weird at the house .
Cassie : Weird how ?
Tammy : Dinah s been hanging around .

Tammy : Someplace jeffrey oneill found for you ?
Cassie : He s been a good friend . Tammy , listen to me .

Tammy : Really ? Edmund s done some horrible stuff for sure , but you should really see him right now , mom .
Cassie : He s sad .
Tammy : He misses you unbelievably . And he s stuck on the idea that the two of you are still going to have a baby together .
Cassie : Yeah , i know . He wants that more than anything .
Tammy : How about you ? Mom , do you still love edmund ?
Cassie : Of course i do , tammy .
Tammy : Then you should go and see him .
Tony : Ray , you know what ? I love , danny . I do . He s a great guy .

Ray : Yeah . I m not just a savior of souls , I m also your big brother . If i ve been quick to judge you and slow to show you respect , I m sorry . I was wrong . I ll try to change .
Tony : No , you do nt have to change , ray .
Ray : You know one thing that s never going to change ? I love you , kid .
Tony : ( Laughs ) you do nt have to say that .
Ray : It s not like I m making it up . And bro , i just do nt want you to get hurt , that s all . You ve had more than your share .

Edmund : Well , actually I was thinking about a little girl , with a smile that will melt her daddy s heart .
Dinah : You re such a softy .
Edmund : Do nt tell anyone .
Dinah : ( Laughs ) okay . Your secret s safe with me . So ...
Edmund : Thank you .

Edmund : I d say when people find out about our little project , the town of springfield is going to reinstate biblical stoning .
Dinah : Well , at least we ll share the heat .
Edmund : Quite frankly , i do nt care what anyone else thinks . As long as cassie understands , that s all that matters to me .
Cassie : I will never forgive you . The last thing i want is to have a child with you . You and dinah thought this baby was such a brilliant idea ? Great ! Then you and dinah have it . ( Door slams )
edmund : Would you be open to that ? Raising this child with me ?
Dinah : I d love that . I think cassie will understand . How could she not ?
Cassie : I really need you to understand that as much as i do love edmund , i ca nt go back to home .
Tammy : No matter how much he loves you ?
Cassie : I never thought i d say this , tammy . But you know , love s ... Love s not enough . Not alone , it s not . And ... Baby , this is hard .
Tammy : So it s over .
Cassie : I m sorry . I m sorry .
Tammy : So what are you going to do now , go stay at jeffrey s place again ?
Cassie : No . Actually i was hoping that i could kind of stay with you for a few days .
Tammy : You want to move in with me ?
Cassie : It ll just be a few days , until I can get all the paperwork taken care of . Then i can go pick up the boys . I promise you wo nt have to kick me out , okay ?
Tammy : Kick you out ? Mom , i d be so happy to have you .
Cassie : Oh . Good . Good . Because I just , you know ... I just have a lot to take care of , and I really can not go back to ...
Tammy : Did something happen ?
Cassie : No , i just want to be with you . And I think that we need to take care of each other right now , and get through this .
Tammy : Okay . Well , I was supposed to meet sandy here , so i m just going to go find him , and i ll see you later , okay ?
Cassie : Okay . Bye . Hi .
Jeffrey : Come home with me .
tony : Okay , that s cool . Now , before you ... Before you say anything , all right , i want you to check this out . See that ? You want to hold it ? You know what that is ? That is an engagement ring , for your mother . Mm - hmm . Okay , so here s the thing . This ring , you know , it symbolizes love , right ? Well , your mother and I , we really , really , really , really love each other , and we want to get married . And we want to have a big , huge wedding , right ? What do you think about that ? You like that ? You do ? Okay , good . Well , see , so I guess now i can ... I can ... Well , uncle tony can ask the favor , which is ... Would you look at me ? I really want your permission to marry your mother . Can you give me that permission ? Because if she s ... If she knows that you re not into it , then i do nt think that she s going to be into it . So what do you say ?
Robbie : It s great .
Tony : It s great ? Are you serious ? Oh , come here . Come here . Com here and give me a big hug . I think so too , buddy . And you know what ? I want you to be the coolest guy at the wedding , right ?
Robbie : But what about daddy ? Is he going to be at the wedding ?

Sandy : Are you okay with this ?
Tammy : Eating , or my mom splitting up with edmund ? It has nt hit me yet .
Sandy : Okay . You do nt have to talk about it if you do nt want to .
Tammy : I guess I m just used to my family always getting torn apart every couple of months or years or whatever .
Sandy : I do nt think anyone ever gets used to that .
Tammy : No . You just kind of learn how to take care of yourself .
Sandy : Hey , you do nt have to do it all alone anymore . You got me . I want to help . I can help . I m not going anywhere .
Edmund : Insert side rails sliding bolt a into main crib body slots b. That s what I m doing . That s what I m doing . And the blasted thing wo nt fit .
Dinah : Hey , hey , hey ! Hey , hey , hey ! Stop , stop ! Stop ! How s this ? I stop you from doing anything destructive , and you do the same for me . Because this is the only way we re going to get through this . Deal ?
Edmund : Deal . I ca nt make you love me ...
Cassie : That s a tempting offer , but i ...
Jeffrey : You got a better one ?
Cassie : Actually , i do . I m going to stay with my daughter .
Jeffrey : Okay . I ll try not to be offended .
Cassie : Thank you . You ... You were a really big help .
Jeffrey : Oh , come on . At your service .
Cassie : Do nt do that .
Jeffrey : What ?
Cassie : Brush me off .
Jeffrey : I m disappointed . That s how it comes out .
Cassie : You know , i am sorry , you know , that at your place things got a little awkward and ...

Man : Who is it , Sam ?
Second man : Who is it ?
Sam : We do nt know . Everyone , please , this is not helping .

Paloma : But , Chief , I --
Sam : This is a high - profile case , and I have to go by the book , but thanks for your enthusiasm , alright ?

T.C. : Sam , do you know who it is yet ?

Ethan : It s Vincent Clarkson . He s from Daily Private Lives .
Sam : Oh , really ? You re out of here , pal .
Vincent : You ca nt stop me , I have rights . Freedom of the press ?
Sam : Oh , really ? Security ! Escort this man off the property .
Vincent : You ca nt do that .
Sam : Give me that .
Vincent : What about my camera ?
Sam : It ll be right here . I will not have your sleazy tabloid exploit my investigation . Now , listen up . This is an official police matter .
Jared : A murder inquiry ?
Sam : We do nt know that yet . Chad , Whitney , I m sorry about your wedding reception , but I have to start my investigation right now .
Chad : We figured the reception was over when the dead body rolled out the wedding cake .
Whitney : Our wedding cake , it was beautiful .
Sam : Look , would everyone start moving out to the foyer , please ? This is an official crime scene , but no one leave until I say it s ok to go home , all right ?
Fox : Uh , let s make sure we use another caterer .
Kay : Do nt make jokes .
Theresa : I do nt care what Sam says , it was definitely murder . Who was it ?
Jared : That s a good question .
Ethan : You are not the right man for Theresa , Jared . I m going to prove it .
Rebecca : Honey , you should thank your lucky stars that someone baked a cadaver cake .
Gwen : Mother , please .
Rebecca : Well , honey , it is a huge distraction . Look , you should also thank God that J.T. s USB stick was nt found at the tabloid . Otherwise our secret would be out and everybody s secrets would be all over the front page of the tabloid and on news stations worldwide .
Gwen : Yeah , and I d lose Ethan forever .
Rebecca : Well , wherever J.T. is , he must still have that USB stick with him .
Gwen : Yeah , wherever he is . And we need to find it .
Kay : A dead body in a wedding cake ? Fox , our wedding is going to be in that room .
Fox : Hey , just calm down . I -- I m sure your father is going to sort everything out .
Kay : But who is it ? Who is that woman ?
Fox : I do nt know . I m sure we re all going to find out soon enough .
Sam : What do you think ?
Eve : Well , with this mess all over her , it s hard to say what killed her . I think we ll just have to wait for the coroner .
Sam : Well , let s hope she was nt baked to death .
Eve : Poor soul . I wonder who she is .
Sam : There s only one way to find out .
Sam : Oh , my God .
Theresa : I am really sorry about your reception .
Whitney : I -- I just ca nt believe it . How could something like this happen ? And who was that poor woman ?
Theresa : I guess we re just gon na find out eventually .
Whitney : The worse part about the whole thing is who could have even done something like that ? And , you know , look , this might sound a little selfish and everything , especially because an innocent woman is dead , but this is my wedding day . You know ? It was supposed to be perfect .
Theresa : Well , I know , honey , but maybe she was nt that innocent .
Whitney : What do you mean ?
Theresa : I -- I m just -- I m sorry . I m just really sorry .
Whitney : Well , you know , it s not your fault .
Theresa : No , I just wish it did nt have to happen . You know ?
Ethan : So you still have nt been able to track down J.T. Cornell ? Let me ask you something -- what am I paying you for ? What -- I do nt care . Get back to work , you need to find him . Get on it , thanks . God , I got ta find that information that J.T. has on Jared or I m never going to be able to keep him away from Theresa .
Chad : You all right ?
Jared : Yeah , why would nt I be ?
Chad : Oh , I do nt know . It s not every day that a wedding cake has a dead body falling out of it at a reception . You look a little jittery .
Jared : No , I m fine , man .
Chad : Or jumpy ?
Jared : I guess you re right , I am a little bit spooked .
Chad : Yeah , me , too .
Chad s voice : More than you know .
Sam : I got ta tell you , I did nt expect this .
Eve : This is shocking . I mean , even for harmony .
Sam : Yeah , this really takes the cake .
Eve : I m going to try and pretend that you did nt say that .
Sam : Look , anyway , I m going to get the coroner over here with an extra police officer . Then we can bring them all in and tell them we IDd the body . The media is going to have a field day with this . There s nothing they like better than a big surprise .
Eve : I do nt think it s going to be as big a surprise as you think .
Luis : Sam , I ll be right down .
Fancy : What happened ?
Luis : Nothing that you need to worry about , ok ? Just something that Sam needs me for . I ll be back soon , ok ?
Sheridan : Take your time . I can stay here and keep an eye on Fancy .
Luis : Thanks , Sheridan . Get some rest , ok ? I ll try not to take too long .
Sheridan : Now , sweetie , let me help you get comfortable . Can I get you another blanket , maybe order you some tea ? I m here for you for whatever you need .
Fancy : What I need is for you to get away from me , you bitch .
Simone : I am so glad Rae is nt here . She d be freaked .
Kay : Well , I m freaked . A dead body covered in butter cream ? I mean , it s -- it s sickening . It s like the worse thing that could happen at a wedding . I feel so bad for Chad and Whitney . What if something like this happens --
Simone : No , just because my sister s wedding was ruined does nt mean yours has to be .
Kay : You do nt know that .
Simone : You re still hung up on Miguel , are nt you ? I thought you decided to give him up for good .
Kay : I have . I m trying to .
Simone : He s a jerk , Kay . He betrayed you with Charity , and she was going to let you marry him while she became his mistress .
Kay : I know . I -- I do nt understand him . He s always been so honest , and now he stabs me in the back , and he acts like he has no idea why I m upset . It s just -- it s so weird -- I do nt get it .
Noah : Look , I realize that Fox is a Crane , but he s always been a pretty decent guy . He d have to be very deceitful to act like he s dying for all these weeks . I think you re grasping at straws , Miguel . Fox does nt even know that you and Kay know he s dying , you know ?
Miguel : What if he s faking that , too ?
Noah : Ok , now you re going overboard .
Miguel : Am I ? What s more , I ll bet Fox did something to make Kay angry at me . I just wish I knew what . Should I just ask Dr. Russell flat out if he has a terminal illness ?
Noah : Look , she wo nt even tell you . Doctor - patient confidentiality . I got a great idea . Why do nt you go , get all dressed up in black , and you can play cat burglar . You can break into Dr. Russell s office , go and find her files , go through the files , and go , Is he dying , is he not dying , I do nt know . I m going to go cheer up your sister .
Miguel : Play cat burglar .
Rebecca : So , I looked through all J.T. s things , and I could nt find that USB stick anywhere .
Gwen : Maybe he s -- maybe it s on his body somewhere .
Rebecca : You re right , maybe it s in his bra .
Gwen : What ?
Rebecca : Oh , long story .
Gwen : You know what , I do nt even want to know . What I do want to know is what is on that USB stick ? Who else is he blackmailing ?
Rebecca : Well , as far as I can tell , pretty much everyone in town .
Gwen : Really ?
Rebecca : Oh , honey , you have no idea how much money he was collecting . But I ll bet you a martini that our groom of the day is on the list .
Gwen : Chad ? Why would he be blackmailing Chad ?
Rebecca : Well , it seems Chad is spending a lot of time at the Safari Motel , and not with Whitney .
Gwen : Well then , why did he just marry Whitney ?
Rebecca : Oh , honey . Come on -- there s a big difference between the girls you marry and the girls you sleep with .
Gwen : Yeah , but right before his wedding ? That s horrible .
Rebecca : Oh , honey , you are such an innocent . I mean , even JFK cheated on Jackie on the honeymoon .
Gwen : Ok , that is just a rumor .
Rebecca : Ah -- fact .
Gwen : And how do you know ?
Rebecca : Mother told me , and , believe me , she knows .
Gwen : Grandmother ?
Rebecca : You want to know the details ?
Gwen : No , no , no , I do nt .
Rebecca : Ok , ok , fine . But I bet you anything J.T. was blackmailing Chad because of his little trysts at that motel .
Jared : I feel for you , man . What a lousy way to end your wedding .
Chad : You know , all day I d been worrying that something would go wrong , and it would interfere with my wedding .
Jared : You mean the person who s been blackmailing you ?
Chad : Hey , hey . I paid that blackmailer a lot of money to keep quiet what s going on at the hotel . I just wish I knew my secret was safe . I do nt trust that blackmailer .
Jared : Well , what are you going to do about it ?
Chad : Anything I have to .
Ethan : Hi .
Theresa : Hi .
Ethan : It s very nice to see you without Jared hanging all over you . He s a criminal . And , to let you know , I have a PI that I ve hired , and he s searching for J.T. at this very minute .
Theresa : What ?
Ethan : And once he finds him , I ll be able to prove it .
Theresa : Ethan , you re too late .
Ethan : What do you mean ?
Sam : Everyone can come in . We ve IDd the body .
Sheridan : What on earth ?
Fancy : Oh , cut the crap , Aunt Sheridan . I do nt buy your little act for one minute .
Fancy : I m on to you . I know the way you really feel about me .
Sheridan : What is wrong with you ? This is not like you .
Fancy : Well , get used to it . You re a cold - heard snake . I heard everything you said to me at the hospital .
Sheridan : I -- I did nt mean to eavesdrop .
Fancy : No , I do nt mean an hour ago ; I mean when the two of us were alone in my room . Yeah , you thought I was unconscious and that I could nt hear you , but I did . Every nasty , toxic little word . See , I was too weak to open my eyes , and then you started in on me , and I wanted to see where it would all lead . Fancy , you and Luis will never work out , you know that . Luis is not the right man for you . It ll never happen .
Sheridan : You -- you misunderstood .
Fancy : The hell I did . Poor , sweet , compassionate Aunt Sheridan . What an act . My God , what is wrong with you ? I was in the hospital . I had just been -- I had just been raped . And you decided that was the perfect time to pour poison in my ear to turn me away from the man I love ? I mean , really , what kind of sick and twisted person does something like that ? You re nothing but a cold , heartless bitch .
Sam : Well , I have one piece of news -- our victim is nt a woman .
All : What ?
Sam : Luis ?
All : Oh !
Sam : If anyone s been looking for J.T. Cornell , here he is .
Paloma : He s in drag ?
Rebecca : Yes , yes he s in drag ! Oh , what difference does it make ? Oh ! No one understand him in this town , no one except me . Oh , my angel , my princess . Oh , it s a crime -- a crime against humanity -- to die wearing off - the - rack .
Gwen : Mother , you re making a spectacle of yourself .
Rebecca : I do nt care ! I do nt care ! Oh , we had a love -- a love that was hidden . We had to hide behind the shadows , but it was a wonderful love -- a love that is now dead . Dead and gone . It is so tragic . It is such a loss -- I was just teaching him how to accessorize .
Luis : All right , Rebecca , enough . Come on . Stop this -- you re contaminating the evidence here . Rebecca --
Ethan s voice : The fool is dead . Great . Now I ll never get the information on Jared .
Rebecca : Oh , my sweet angel , look at you . Oh , J.T.
Rebecca : Oh , my .
Miguel s voice : Step one , complete . I ll stop your wedding , Fox . I do nt trust you , and I sure as hell do nt trust you with Kay .
Theresa s voice : Rest in peace , jerk . Now Ethan will never find out that Little Ethan is his son .
Chad s voice : Now my secret s safe .
Jared s voice : Tough luck , Ethan . You do nt have anything on me now . I m safe .
Fox : I m going to give Crane security an update .
Kay : What -- Fox ?
Kay : What do you want ? I do nt want to talk to you .
Miguel : Then listen . I love you . I m going to find the proof to convince you that Fox is nt the right man for you .
Kay : Just stop .
Miguel : I mean it , Kay . I had a brainstorm , and if everything works out the way I think it will , you ll dump Fox in a minute .
Kay : What ?
Miguel : Kay , Fox is a Crane . He s lying to you , I know he is .
Kay : Just leave me alone , ok ?
Rebecca : Oh ! Oh , J.T. , no . Oh , J.T. , oh .
Sam : Rebecca , that is enough .
Gwen : Mother , please , you are embarrassing me .
Rebecca : Oh , no , I ve lost my man . He s gone ! I am trying to find the USB stick .
Gwen : Ok , well , hurry and find it .
Sam : Rebecca , that s enough .
Gwen : Sam , please , try and understand . My mother and J.T. were very close .
Sam : Yeah , well , I gather that . Did she loan him some clothes ?
Rebecca : Oh , please , we were hardly the same size . Oh , my lost lamb !
Luis : Rebecca . Rebecca , please , would you stop ? Ok , I m really sorry for your loss , but you could be contaminating -- contaminating the evidence .
Luis : Are you going to be ok ?
Rebecca : Yeah , I ll get over my first stage of grief . Good night , sweet princess . May flights of angels --
Gwen : Oh , Mother , stop it .
Rebecca : What ? Mm -- lemony .
Sam : All right , I need to know everything anyone knows about J.T. Cornell .
T.C. : It s no secret everybody in this town hated him .
Rebecca : Except me .
Sam : All right , well , let me rephrase it . Does anyone know who might have killed him ?
Ethan : Yeah , I know . I know exactly who killed him .
Simone : Oh , I ca nt take it in there anymore . Are you ok ?
Kay : Oh , yeah , I m just great .
Simone : Come on , Kay , I saw Miguel talking to you . What did he say ?
Kay : He said he s trying to find proof that Fox has lied to me .
Simone : What ? Miguel is the one who lied to you . Where is he ?
Kay : I do nt know . I came out here , he was gone . You think he went upstairs ?
Simone : What s the difference ? You ca nt trust a thing that guy says .
Kay : Yeah , but he seems so certain . What if he s right ? What if Fox has lied to me about something ? He said he knows something that will definitely cause me to want to break up with Fox . What if he s right ?
Simone : This from a guy who slept with Charity at your bridal shower . A guy who swore he loved you . Give me a break .
Kay : I do nt know what to think . He said Fox is a real Crane , maybe the worst one . You know what ? My mom said something like that , too .
Simone : Listen , you re the one who has to say your I do s here . Nobody s twisting your arm . But it sounds to me like you want Miguel to find information against Fox .
Kay : That s not true .
Simone : You ve got to clear this up quick . You are about to walk down that aisle .
Kay : I know . Somehow it feels like I m about to walk the plank .
Miguel : Fox is faking it . I know he is . He s pretending he s dying as a way to hold on to Kay . All I need are Fox s records and I can prove he s a liar .
Theresa : Tell us , Ethan . Who killed J.T. ?
Ethan : Is nt it obvious ? It s Jared Casey .
Jared : What ?
Theresa : Ethan , you have to stop this . You are obsessed .
Gwen : Ethan , please do nt do this . Just let it go .
Ethan : No , the hell I will . Listen , J.T. has researched this guy s past . J.T. was going to bring me proof tonight that the guy is up to no good , and , what do you know , he ends up dead . You killed him to keep him quiet , did nt you ?
Sam : Ethan , do you have proof ?
Ethan : No , but he had motive .
Sam : So did a lot of other people in town , not to mention this room . From what I understand , J.T. set up his own blackmailing racket here in Harmony .
Rebecca : Must we speak ill of the dead ?
Sam : I just call em like I see em , Rebecca .
Ethan : Sam , I m telling you this Jared guy--
Sam : Everybody wanted J.T. dead . Now why do nt you remember your fancy law school education and wait for some evidence . In the meantime , I have the coroner and the forensics team on its way . I think it s best everyone go home , but do not leave town . You need to make yourselves available for questioning .
Noah : Hey , why do nt I give you a ride home , huh ?
Paloma : Yeah sure .
Noah : I m going to go get your coat .
Ethan : Listen to me .
Theresa : No , no , no , not one word .
Ethan : Listen to me . You need to stay clear of him .
Theresa : No , I am trying to move on with my life . Now , let me .
Ethan : That is not what this about , Theresa .
Theresa : Oh the hell it is nt , Ethan . You refuse to be with me but you wo nt allow me to be happy with anyone else .
Ethan : I do nt like to see you with another man , that s true , but I can accept it . But not with him , not with Jared . I know that J.T. had the dirt on him , Theresa , that s why he s dead .
Theresa : You re not going to give up , are you ?
Ethan : No , I m not cause the guy s trouble . He s possibly a murderer , Theresa . He s not good for you and he s not good for Little Ethan .
Theresa : We can not be with the man who is good for us because you made that clear . So let me explore other avenues .
Ethan : I m sorry , Theresa , I just ca nt let you go .
Jared : I swear this house is cursed . I was gon na propose tonight , but the murder thing kinda puts a damper on the romance .
Whitney : You know what , Jared , do nt let it . Why do nt you turn this nightmare into something positive ? Go find a private place and ask her . Ask her right now .
Jared : You re right . There s no reason not to .
Jared s voice : Especially now .
Chad : I m sorry it was nt much of a reception .
Whitney : It was wonderful while it lasted , I guess .
Chad : Well at least we re leaving on our honeymoon tomorrow . We should be in the clear by then .
Whitney : Yeah , I hope so .
Chad : Well no matter what happens , we still have our wedding night . Theresa gave us the best guest room .
Whitney : I ca nt wait .
Chad : I love you , Whitney Russell Harris - Crane .
Whitney : I love you , too , Mr. Chad Harris - Crane .
Chad : I m going to go get some champagne . You meet me upstairs .
Whitney : It s a race , then .
Chad : Oh , no , no , not on your life . I want to take tonight nice and slow .
Gwen : You should have been on the stage .
Rebecca : And waste my time on the huddled masses ? Please !
Gwen : Ok , did you find the USB stick ?
Rebecca : No , and trust me , I looked everywhere . It s not on him .
Gwen : Well where is it ?
Rebecca : I do nt know . Maybe the guy who killed him has it .
Gwen : You know you were one of the last people to be with him .
Rebecca : Yes , and he would have destroyed your oh so precious marriage .
Luis : Looks to me like anyone could have killed him . He was blackmailing so many people .
Sam : Which one was so desperate that he or she would resort to murder to keep their secret safe ?
Miguel : Fox s records have to be in here somewhere . Fox , Fox , Fox , Fox . Nicholas Foxworth Crane . I got it .
Kay : Well , almost everyone s gone .
Simone : You are worrying me . Your wedding is almost here . You better decide what you re going to do .
Kay : Everything s going to work out , it has to .
Simone : Kay , my sister s wedding was just interrupted by an uninvited dead body , and if you re not careful , you re going to have Fox and Miguel knifing each other at the altar .
Kay : Oh God . Ugh !
Fox : Hey , did I hear you moaning ? Love , you ve got to stop worrying . Everything s going to be alright .
Kay : I know .
Fox : We re getting married . I ca nt wait .
Simone : Let s just hope it s a more peaceful wedding than this one .
Rebecca : Oh ! Oh !
Luis : Coroner s certainly taking their old sweet time , huh ?
Sam : Yeah .
Luis : Did Rebecca happen to say why he was wearing a dress ?
Sam : Well she says that he actually liked it ?
Luis : Liked it ?
Sam : Yeah , and she also said that he was afraid . He was afraid someone was following him so he got into drag to disguise himself . Look , I know what s going on with Fancy , but I really need your help on this , ok ?
Luis : Well , if it will help me make detective again .
Sam : You solve this and you will .
Luis : Listen , I ll be honest with you , Chief , my mind s kind of preoccupied right now with finding the guy that attacked Fancy .
Sam : I totally understand . I can work on this case all night . You do nt have to be here . Look , I know Fancy s upstairs . Under the circumstances , why do nt you go be with her .
Luis : It s ok . Sheridan s up there and I m sure she s taking good care of her .
Fancy : You make me sick . In front of Luis , you re as sweet as pie , Oh , poor Fancy . How is the darling girl ? But the moment you get me alone , you try to plant sick subliminal messages in my mind while you know I m in a coma ?
Sheridan : I did nt .
Fancy : No , unh - unh , you are not going to lie your way out of this one . You take advantage of me when I m sick and weak . You know what ? I do nt want to ever hear you criticize my grandfather ever again . You always babble on and on about how despicable and manipulative he was , but you know what , you re no better . In fact , Sheridan , you re worse . You re pure evil , an absolute monster .
Chad : You should nt be calling me . I told you I m getting married today . Yeah , last night was hot . I ca nt stop thinking about it . I want to do it again , too . No , not tonight . Tonight s my wedding night . Tonight s reserved for Whitney . Look , I ll tell you what , we ll be together soon . I ll figure out a way for us to be together for New Year s .
Whitney : So I was right , then . You lying bastard !
Gwen : Honey , can you please just take me home ?
Ethan : I do nt know . I think we should stay here in case Sam has anymore questions .
Gwen : He said we could go . What s the real reason you want to stay ?
Ethan : What s that supposed to mean ?
Gwen : You ll do anything to prove that Jared is bad for Theresa . You even accused him of murdering J.T.
Ethan : Well J.T. s death is pretty convenient for Jared , do nt ya think ? Now J.T. ca nt give me the dirt on Jared . Jared seems to be in the clear .
Gwen : He s not the only one who wanted J.T. dead . J.T. was blackmailing a lot of people .
Ethan : Well not me . Look , I know J.T. had the goods on Jared and I m gon na find out what it was . I m going to prove to Theresa that that guy s a fraud . I do nt want him anywhere near Theresa or Little Ethan .
Theresa : Jared , are you in here ?
Jared : Alone at last .
Theresa : It has been quite a night . Did you do all of this ?
Jared : Yeah , I wanted this moment to be special .
Theresa : Special .
Jared : Tess , I keep on trying to ask you something , but each time I start , I get interrupted . I do nt care if a truck comes barreling through that wall right now , I m going to finish saying it . Theresa .... Hold on one second , I want to do this right .
Theresa : Oh , Jared .
Jared : Tess , I think you re the most incredible woman in the world . I think you re funny and smart and sexy , and I have never loved another person the way I love you . I want to spend every minute of every day of the rest of my life with you . I want Little Ethan to have a real father and I want you to have a real family . Tess , if you do me the great honor of marrying me , I promise I will always love you . I ll spend every day doing whatever I can to make you happy .
Theresa : Jared--
Jared : Marry me , Tess . Tell me you ll be my wife .
Fancy : I am warning you , Sheridan , stay away from Luis and me .
Whitney : Marrying Chad was the biggest mistake I ve ever made in my life .
Fox : Kay , I m calling off our wedding .
### Summary:
| JT Cornell was identified as the dead body in the wedding cake , and Rebecca s display of grief masked her attempt to find the memory card that was missing from the envelope he stuck under the tabloid door . Sam and Luis wondered who killed him and why , and realized there were many people who had reason to want him dead . Others , including Chad , Jared , Theresa , Eve , and Gwen were relieved their secrets seem to be safe . Chad made he mistake of talking to his lover on the phone , however , and Whitney overheard , leading to a huge slap across the face and what might be the shortest wedding in Passions history . Noah jokingly told Miguel to sneak into Dr. Eve s office and find Fox s medical records to see if he s really dying or not , but sneaky Miguel took it seriously and did just that . However , as he was looking through Fox s file , someone was watching . Kay and Simone talked about whether she wants to marry Fox or if she still wants Miguel , even tho he s a liar and a cheat . Kay seems uncertain at this point . Luis and Sheridan took Fancy home to recuperate , and while he went to help Sam , Sheridan stayed to help her niece . However , once Luis left , Fancy turned from a helpless victim to an attacking shrew , having heard what her aunt had said to her in the hospital when she was supposed to be in a coma . She was nt happy to hear Luis is not the man for her and they ll never last , since that s not what the Little Princess wants to hear , and she ripped Sheridan up one side and down the other . |

Daryl : Hmm ? I m sorry , boss , what was that ?
Dorian : Look , I brought you along on this trip because I wanted to Bounce ideas off of you , and you ve been so busy -- multitasking . What are you working on ?
Daryl : What else -- operation free Adriana .
Adriana : Do nt tell me -- you re a Pisces .

Adriana : Ok .
Rex : You look -- hot .
Adriana : Really ? I think I can help you out with that .
Rex : Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! Hey , hey , hey ! What are you doing ? You left me the message to meet you here !
Adriana : Only so that I could tell you to your face to stop harassing me . If you do nt , I m calling the police .
Nash : This is just like snuggling in Napa .
Tess : Yeah . If the roof was leaking , it d be just like home .
Nash : Hey , I was going to fix that roof . It was , like , number 57 on my to - do list .
Tess : I do nt care . I d go back there in a second -- leaks and all -- permanently .
Nash : It ll happen soon enough . You want to know what I wish , though ? I wish that I could whisk you off to some secluded island so that I could marry you .
Tess : I told you -- I do nt legally exist , our marriage would nt be real .
Nash : Well , it would be real to me , as real as you are .
Tess : Hmm . As real as a half person can be .
Nash : You re a whole person , Tess . And the more I know you , the more you amaze me .
Tess : What about Jessica ?
Nash : Jessica who ? Come on . We have nt seen anything of Jessica since they tried to integrate you guys . Hey , maybe she s so freaked out that she s gone forever .
Tess : Well , one can hope . I hate this . I hate this . We already have to fight about who the father of this baby is . Are we going to have to fight about who the mother is , too ?
Cristian : Forget it . No way are you meeting Vincent Jones . Are you nuts ?
Natalie : How do you even know Vincent Jones ?
Cristian : I do nt , but half the guys at Statesville either worked for him or crossed him in some way . He s bad news -- even the worst of the worst are afraid of him .
Natalie : Well , he does nt scare me .
Cristian : Well , he should , Natalie . Look , you do nt want to mess with this guy . He s not one of Roxy s friendly neighborhood gangster buddies . He s the real deal .
Natalie : Ok , I do nt have a choice . All right , this guy may have access to information on John s father s murder . He may even know who killed him .
Spencer : That s right , Paige . The cop that you let die on your operating table all those years ago was John and Michael s father --
Paige : No .
Spencer : Thomas Mc Bain .
Paige : No , no , it ca nt be .
Spencer : You know , even I could nt have dreamt up something so perfectly ironic .
Paige : You are lying .
Spencer : Well , I ve got proof .
Paige : You re making it up .
Spencer : Why , you want to see it ? Right here -- look . Check it out . Right here in black and white . Ah , here it is . Time and date of death -- right there .
Paige : This ca nt be real .
Spencer : It s easy enough to authenticate . Besides , why would I waste so much time on something that could be so easily disproved ?
Paige : You are a monster .
Spencer : I think some would say that you were the monster , Paige -- John Mc Bain , for example -- and I think he likes to shoot first and ask questions later . Now , how do you think he s going to take it when he finds out that you killed his father ?
Bo : Paige ?
Bo : What s going on here , John ?
John : Paige was the one that killed my father .
Natalie : Look , you do nt understand , ok ? I have to help John find his father s killer . I mean , it s totally driving him nuts . He s completely off the chain .
Cristian : Look , I feel bad for the guy , but he s a cop . Why do you have to be the one to help him ?
Natalie : Because he s losing it . And there is no one else .
Cristian : All right , so I guess you ve gotten over hating him for lying to you about me .
Natalie : I m trying to get past it , yeah .
Cristian : What are you thinking , Natalie ? That you re going to help Mc Bain solve this big mystery , and all of the sudden , he s going to become this normal , well adjusted guy that you fixed , and then you guys can just buy a house together ?
Natalie : This is not about me wanting to hook up with John again .
Cristian : Right . Either way , I m not leaving you here alone with a predator like Vincent Jones .
Vincent : Impressive words when you re fronting for a beautiful woman . The question is , do you have the guts to say that to my face ?
Bo : What are you talking about , John ? Paige did nt kill anybody .
John : She did it , Bo ! And she s been hiding it all this time .
Bo : You better have something to back that up .
John : I just got done talking to Snyder . The doctor took the fall for screwing up my old man s surgery . He said he s been covering for the person who really did it , an intern by the name of Paige Truman . She was the one that was drunk that night , Bo . She s the one that made the mistake that killed my father . And then someone spent a hell of a lot of time covering it up !
Bo : But who would do that ? And why ? Spencer Truman .
Spencer : And from what I read in the papers , John Mc Bain is nt necessarily the forgiving type . How do you think he s going to take it when he finds out that you murdered his father , hmm ?
Paige : It was nt murder . It was -- it was an accident .
Spencer : Accident ? Paige , you were hammered out of your mind , yet you chose , rather than to scuttle your own promising career , to go ahead and operate on him intoxicated ? That was very selfish and reckless of you , Paige , not to mention sloppy and stupid . No , that would constitute criminal negligence . Any court in the land would find you guilty of murder .
Paige : I -- I have to get out of here .
Spencer : Wait a second . You listen to me . If you confess , you will spend the rest of your life in prison , if John Mc Bain even lets it go to trial .
Paige : No , he s not going to hurt me .
Spencer : From what I understand , he s got a pretty nasty temper .
Paige : No --
Spencer : Tell that to the perpetrator who took three bullets for threatening his brother , Michael , in a church , no less .
Paige : That was different . That was different . He had no choice . He---
Spencer : That s right . You hurt John s family , he hurts you back , Paige . Are you willing to die just to ease your conscience ? The buck does nt stop here . What about Dave ? Are you really willing to take him down with you ?
Woman : Oh , you re going to Bangkok . I hear the beaches are starving for people .
David : Oh , it -- it is nt a pleasure trip . I m looking for a baby .
Woman : Adopting a Thai child ? How wonderful .
David : No , it s an American baby that my brother stashed in Thailand after he murdered its mother and blamed it on someone else . You going to eat the rest of that muffin ?
Tess : Just tell me everything s going to be ok .
Nash : You kidding ? Everything s going to be ok . We will be back in Napa before you know it . And you and the kid will be stomping grapes . And then , we ll all jump in the pond to wash off . And you guys can bake in the sun while I grill us up a feast .
Tess : Hey , I can grill .
Nash : Yeah -- supervised . You know what ? I think I ll take care of the cooking -- just for safety .
Tess : Well , maybe you ll be able to domesticate me .
Nash : Well , stranger things have happened .
Tess : Hmm .
Nash : You know , we re going to have to baby - proof the place before that critter can crawl . And we ll all play hide - and - seek in the vines . He ll like that . We ll hide where no one can find us .
Jessica s voice : Tess ? Tess ?
Jessica : You re dreaming if you think you re going to get rid of me that easily .
Dorian : I know that I told you to keep working on our plan to keep Rex and Adriana apart , but do nt get so carried away that you suddenly start emailing , because I know the pilot would not appreciate that at 30,000 feet .
Daryl : I m not . I was -- I was just brainstorming .
Dorian : I like that about you . You show initiative . Now , let me see what you ve been working on .
Daryl : It s a work in progress .
Dorian : Uh - huh . But it does center around eradicating Rex Balsom from my daughter s life ?
Daryl : As per your orders .
Dorian : And does it also include a great deal of physical or emotional anguish ?
Daryl : Which would you prefer ?
Dorian : Given the fact that he tried to frame me for murder , I would like Both .
Daryl : You give the orders . But at this point , is nt it a bit overkill ? I mean , Adriana and Rex are nt even together anymore .
Dorian : Oh , dear . Adriana may have Booted him to the curb , but that does nt mean he s going to be picked up with the rest of the trash . No , Rex is quite thick - skulled . He s probably working on a plan right now to worm his way back into my daughter s heart .
Rex : How am I harassing you ?
Adriana : Oh , do nt play dumb .
Rex : Who s playing ? I do nt know what you re talking about .
Adriana : The emails , Rex . The hundreds of creepy emails that you keep sending me ? You have to stop .
Rex : I m sending you emails ?
Adriana : Ugh -- please , do nt Bother denying it . Look . I printed them out .
Rex : Ahem . Dear Adriana , I love you . Me . Dear Adriana , I love you . Me . Dear Adriana -- these are all the same .
Adriana : Yeah , and they re not going to work . I m not taking you back , Rex . We re done .
Rex : Whoa , whoa . Hey , time out . I did nt write these .
Spencer : You see , Bo and John are friends . Now , whose side do you think he s going to take ? The son who grew up without a father , or the lying girlfriend who murdered him ?
Paige : It was 25 years ago . It was a mistake . I -- I was drunk .
Spencer : Mm - hmm . And you should nt have been holding a scalpel . At least , that s what the D.A. is going to tell the jury . But it really does nt matter to Bo . You see , Bo s a cop . John s a cop . John s father was a cop . And no one hates a cop killer more than other cops . Are you really willing to be on the receiving end of all of that pent - up rage ?
Paige : I m going to be sick .
Bo : Paige was actually in the room when your father died ?
John : She was nt just in the room , she was holding the knife ! So drunk , she Botched the closing and let my old man bleed out !
Bo : That s according to Snyder .
John : Why would he lie ?
Bo : Well , I do nt know , John . You tell me . Was this before or after you yanked your phone out of the wall and threw it across your office ?
John : What s your point , Bo ?
Bo : My point is , maybe you ran into Snyder in a bar . Maybe you bounced him off the wall a couple of times . You scared a confession out of him , or --
John : No , no .
Bo : All right . Then maybe Snyder s trying to cover his own tail . Did nt you tell me that he flushed his whole career after he botched your father s surgery ? Surgeons live for their work , ok ? It gives meaning to them . It s like us . It s like us being cops . Why would he throw everything away just to cover for somebody else ?
John : Because Truman forced him to take the fall !
Bo : Did Snyder tell you that ?
John : He did nt have to !
Bo : Then we got nothing , John . No , you ve got the word of some gin mill junkie . You ca nt take that to a judge . It does not give you probable cause .
John : Hey , I do nt need any proof . I m going to handle this my way . And right now , I m going to go find Paige .
Bo : No -- hey , you re not going anywhere .
John : You going to stop me ?
Bo : Do nt push it , John .
John : Do nt do this , Bo . Do nt do this !
Bo : Now , you are out of control right now ! You re not going anywhere near Paige , not with that look in your eye .
Paige : David -- I have to tell him .
Woman : Excuse me .
David : What ? It s not like I killed her . I m not a murderer .
David : Yeah , you just keep telling yourself that .
Officer : David Vickers ?
Tess : What are you doing here ?
Jessica : Did you think I was just going to sit and listen to you and Nash planning a future like I m never coming back ?
Tess : I m in control now , and you re never coming out again .
Jessica : I m always going to be here , Tess , waiting for my chance . I m not going to stop fighting till I have my life back . My life , my baby .
Tess : Well , bring it on , princess . Now that Nash and I have our own place , I am stronger than ever . I stood my ground with your mother without even breaking a sweat .
Jessica : That was just make - believe . You think setting up house , planning to run away together , getting married -- that s not going to happen .
Tess : How d you know about that ?
Jessica : I heard it . I hear everything now . I am getting stronger every day . And soon , I m going to be in control . And I m going to have this baby . Antonio and I are going to get married . We re going to have a family , the three of us , and Jamie . And you re just going to be a bad memory .
Tess : Nash wo nt let that happen .
Jessica : He wo nt have a choice . But you can help him , if you love him as much as you say you do .
Tess : How could you even ask me that ?
Jessica : Then let him go now , before you ruin his life .
Tess : I am his life .
Jessica : You are just borrowing my body , Tess .
Tess : Well , you know what they say about possession , sweetheart . So you can take your 10 % and you can get the hell out of our lives !
Jessica : I m not going anywhere . Not until I get it all back .
Tess : Well , I am not giving up Nash . I am not giving up anything ! I m going to fight you with everything I ve got .
Jessica : And you ll lose . It s only a matter of time , Tess . I m stronger than you are .
Tess : Really ? Are you strong enough to face what happened when you were a little girl ?
Vincent : You know me . I m at a disadvantage . I m the predator , Vincent Jones . And you are ?
Cristian : Cristian Vega .
Vincent : Vega -- ex - con turned gold glove contender . Word on the street is you ve got skills . You two together ?
Cristian : I m a friend of Natalie s , and she changed her mind .
Natalie : Cristian --
Cristian : She does nt want anything to do with you anymore .
Natalie : Could you just stay out of this ? I need to talk to him .
Vincent : You heard the lady . If you ll excuse us --
Cristian : Oh , I m sticking around for a while .
Natalie : I do nt need a bodyguard .
Vincent : Well , we can share Shaun . He s big enough for the both of us .
Natalie : Please , Cristian , just go away and let me do this .
Cristian : Fine .
Natalie : Thanks .
Cristian : I ll be right over there .
Natalie : I m sorry about my friend .
Vincent : Oh , I know how exes are . Ex - cons , that is . See , once a guy s been on the inside , the stench never comes off .
Natalie : Well , I -- I would nt know anything about that . Thank you for meeting me . Um --
Vincent : I had no choice .
Natalie : Thanks .
Vincent : Once I found out that you were holding out on me , I made it my business to get back together sooner rather than later .
Natalie : Well , I have been accused of a lot of things , but holding out has never been one of them .
Vincent : You said that you were a Buchanan . But you did nt read like the silver spoon type , which either meant you were lying , or there was more to the story .
Natalie : There s always more to the story .
Vincent : And that s what interests me . You re no princess . But long - lost heiress -- that made sense . You grew up poor , then drew the lucky number . I can appreciate that .
Natalie : Well , I did nt have much of a choice .
Vincent : According to my sources , you made yourself heard .
Natalie : Hmm , your sources ?
Vincent : You re not the only one with a network .
Natalie : Mm - hmm .
Vincent : The difference is , yours comes with a badge and a glock .
Natalie : I told you , I m not a cop .
Vincent : Your uncle s the commissioner for Llanview , PA . You work the squad . Now unlikely rich girl wants to dust for fingerprints and swab for D.N.A. Natalie Buchanan , forensics technician .
Natalie : Someone s been doing their homework .
Vincent : Oh , your blood -- it practically runs blue . Oh , but it s no problem . At least not for now .
Natalie : Why ?
Vincent : Because I find you interesting . And the risk is the price of business .
Natalie : So , that means we re going to do business ?
Vincent : Let s put it this way -- I m interested .
Natalie : Define , please .
Vincent : I m going to help you , Natalie Buchanan .
Natalie : So you re going to help me find Thomas Mc Bain s murderer ?
Vincent : How would you like to meet an eyewitness to the shooting ?
Officer : I asked you a question . Are you David Vickers ?
David : Is there a problem , officer ?
Paige : I have to call David , tell him about Thomas Mc Bain .
Michael : Hey .
John : Turn it around , Bo . If someone was involved in killing asa , and you tracked them down , would you give a damn if it was my girlfriend ? Well , then why you doing this to me ?
Bo : Look , you trashed your office .
John : Ah --
Bo : No , you were yelling so loud , the duty officer called me . And then what d you do ? You decided to just dismiss Crosby . You just got off suspension , John .
John : Ok , I m pissed ! I admit it , I m pissed ! But I m not going to hurt anybody . I just want the truth .
Bo : No , what you want is revenge . And I m telling you , you got to back off right now , or I will bust you myself , for breaking and entering and for destruction of property .
John : Just -- Bo , I just want to talk to her , all right ? I just want to hear it from her . All right ? What does she know about my father s death ? How was she involved that night ? What is Spencer Truman doing involved in this ?
Bo : Look , are you willing to just risk your -- your whole career , risk your life , because some drunk -- all he wants to do is get out from under .
John : What if he s not lying ? You ever think about that ? Come on , Bo . Do nt tell me it s never occurred to you that maybe Paige is hiding something from you .
Dorian : I suppose we ll just stay with our original plan . You stick with your job at ultra violet , and keep your eye on Rex . Oh . Mm - hmm looks like the pilot s getting ready to land . It does nt matter how many times I fly , I never , ever get used to takeoffs and landings . Ahem .
Rex : I m telling you , I did nt write these emails .
Adriana : Oh . Just like you were nt helping Todd hide from the police ?
Rex : Ok , I m stupid , but I m not some kind of cyber perv . You really think I d do something so creepy ?
Adriana : Well , you re always saying you re damaged goods .
Rex : Damaged goods . Not some kind of psycho . You got a stalker , Adriana .
Adriana : What ? Why would somebody stalk me ?
Rex : Look in the mirror . And now you re famous . Have you seen these magazine covers ? Any guy would give his left arm to be with you .
Adriana : It s probably just a fan .
Rex : Yeah . That s what I m afraid of . Did you see the movie about the number one fan ?
Adriana : Ok , stop trying to freak me out , Rex . I do nt have a stalker . What are you doing ?
Rex : Well , obviously , you do , and we ve got to deal with it .
Adriana : Oh -- well , no , no -- we ? There is no we , ok ? What are you doing ?
Rex : Emailing this jerk . I want to see what he has to say for himself .
Natalie : So let me get this straight . Since the last time we talked , you miraculously found this eyewitness to Thomas Mc Bain s shooting , but the cops have been coming up empty for the last 25 years ?
Vincent : The cops -- you know how the cops are . Nobody wants to talk to them .
Natalie : Yeah , I guess that s true . Growing up in A.C. , I spent a lot of time out on the streets , and the cops would be the last people to know anything .
Vincent : You know how it is .
Natalie : Yeah . And I also know that nobody gives you something for nothing .
Vincent : Not your average heiress , are you ?
Natalie : Well , you said it yourself . My silver spoon has been tarnished . And I am definitely not naive . So what is this ? Extortion con ?
Vincent : Extortion ? Extortion s not my gig . If I want something , I go out and get it .
Natalie : How s that working for you ?
Vincent : I do all right .
Natalie : Ok . So this so - called witness
Vincent : Oh , it s no bluff . This witness is for real . But if you want my opinion , you need to back off and let your cop boyfriend handle this from here on out .
John : Paige flat out lied about the Manning case , you know that . And her name has come up way too many times just to be a coincidence .
Bo : No , Manning has nothing to do with your father .
John : If she s willing to hold out on Manning , is it too much of a stretch to think that maybe she s hiding something here , like maybe her involvement in this ?
Bo : What --
John : Bo , all I m saying -- all I m saying is , listen to me for one second . Maybe you do nt know her as well as you think !
Bo : What s going on with Paige and me -- that s personal . But something s not right . Now , my gut feeling is Spencer is holding something over her .
John : Well , now you know what it is .
Bo : No , John , we do nt know anything . All we ve got is my gut , your rage .
John : All right .
Bo : Look , if -- if Spencer s been pulling strings all these years , he could end up walking if we do nt play this thing right .
John : Well , that s why we have to talk to Paige .
Bo : No , you stay away from Paige , and you stay away from Spencer , as long as you re in the mood you re in .
John : Fine . You come with me .
Michael : Dr. Miller ? Are you ok ? You re looking a little peaked .
Paige : I -- I m not feeling well .
Michael : Oh , maybe you should go sit down . I ll get you some water . When was the last time you ate ?
Paige : Do nt be nice to me .
Michael : What ?
Paige : I -- I -- I m sorry . I m not well . I-- I -- I needed some air , and I -- it s just -- it s been a terrible day .
Michael : Yeah , I hear you . I lost a patient today . It was my fault .
Paige : Oh , no . No , you re a good doctor .
Michael : It s that do no harm thing . I m supposed to save lives , not take them .
Paige : Sometimes things happen that are -- that are out of our control .
Michael : I appreciate you saying that , but I ca nt stop thinking about his family . The guy had two little kids . I feel like I m responsible . Like I should answer for it .
Paige : Michael , I have to tell you --
Spencer : What s going on ?
Tess : Where is all that strength now , Jessica ? Better yet , where was it when you wigged out during therapy the other day ? You want to talk about the hot spot ?
Jessica : Stop -- stop it .
Tess : Do you want to talk about our special friend ? The man that gave you all that candy ? Do you remember his face ? Do you remember his breath ?
Jessica : Shut up .
Tess : Why do nt we talk about that dump of a house that he took us to ?
Jessica : I said shut up ! Shut up !
Nash : Tess ? Tess , you all right ? Tess , answer me .
Nash : All right , Tess , you re freaking me out . I m calling the doctor .
Tess : No . No , I m fine . I m fine . I just -- I had a bad dream . I was fighting with Jessica again .
Nash : You were -- you were fighting with Jessica in a dream ?
Tess : Yeah , I -- I think so . I mean , it was in my head , but it -- real , it was so real . She said what she -- what we had meant nothing , and that she and Antonio were going to get married . They were going to take away our baby .
Nash : Hey , that s not true . None of that -- none of that is true . It s not going to happen . We wo nt let it .
Tess : Well , what if we ca nt stop her ? She can hear us now . She -- she can see into my life . She s right , she is getting stronger .
Nash : All right , but -- I mean , you -- you beat her . What -- what did you say to -- to hold on ? To stop her ?
Tess : I used Norman Leeds . That s all I have left .
Nash : Leeds ? Did she recognize him ? Did she remember the name ?
Tess : I -- I do nt know . I do nt think so . But she knew what I was getting at , and she ran and hid .
Nash : Ok . All right , so -- so you won . You re still here , right ?
Tess : Yeah . Yeah , I am .
Nash : Ok .
Tess : Hmm .
Nash : Feel better ?
Tess : Yeah , a little . I m just tired , and -- and I m hungry . I m starving , actually . I could go for some nachos .
Nash : We just ate .
Tess : Tell that to the munchkin .
Nash : Oh . You just ate ! You want extra salsa with that , kiddo ? He likes it spicy , like his mama .
Tess : You do nt mind , do you ?
Nash : Oh , of course not . I ll be right back . You all right by yourself ?
Tess : Yeah . Just hurry , though .
David : Yes , I m David Vickers . But I have nt done anything wrong today . I swear .
Officer : Actually , you did .
David : What ?
Officer : You dropped this .
David : Oh , thank you . Whew . I am finally getting out from under . I m going to go to Thailand , I m going to find Margaret s baby , and I am going to get rid of Spencer for good .
Spencer : What are you two talking about ?
Michael : Well , I was just telling Dr. Miller about that patient that I lost .
Spencer : Oh , listen , you did nt do anything wrong , Michael . You got to quit feeling so guilty about it . All right ? Paige and I were in the middle of a consult . Is nt that right , Dr. Miller ?
Michael : Oh . Sorry to interrupt .
Michael : Hey .
John : Hey .
Michael : What are you guys doing here ?
John : We were just looking for Paige and Dr. Truman .
Michael : Oh . Well , I just saw them . They re over in Spencer s office .
John : Ok .
Michael : Is everything ok ?
John : Yeah , every-- it s --
Bo : We re just -- we need an opinion on a case we re working . A medical opinion , that s all .
Michael : Oh . Ok . You re sure everything s all right ?
John : Yeah , I m good , Mike . I m going to talk to you later , all right ?
Spencer : Congratulations on keeping your mouth shut to Michael . Now you re getting smart .
Paige : I was nt being smart . I just -- I could nt bear to see the look on his face if I had told him that I was responsible for his father s death .
Spencer : Yeah , whatever . You did the right thing , Paige . If you told him the truth now , it would certainly be the end of you .
Paige : I hate you .
Spencer : For what ? For saving your ass ? For saving your career ? You committed criminal negligence , Paige .
Paige : Why did nt you tell me that it was Thomas Mc Bain ?
Spencer : Because I did nt think you had the stomach for it . And obviously , I was right . Now , keep your mouth shut . Do nt say anything to Bo . He would never forgive you . And God knows what John would do . Your phone . Suck it up , Paige . Get the hell out of my office .
Nash : All right , I m off to Rodi s , and I ll be right back .
Tess : Oh . Well , make it snappy there , buddy .
Nash : Hmm . Saying that for me or the nachos ?
Tess : Do nt ask if you do nt want to know .
Nash : I love you .
Tess : Yeah , well , that s ok , because I love you , too .
Nash : Take care of your kiddo while I m gone .
Tess : Go .
Nash : I m going . Going .
Tess : Jessica ?
Tess : Whew . Oh . Maybe I shut her up for good this time . And we can finally have some -- oh . Ow . Ugh . Oh , my God . I m going into labor .
Rex : Surprise . My email bounced back .
Adriana : So either this guy changed his email address , or he spam - blocked us .
Rex : It says address unknown . I got a bad feeling about this .
Adriana : Rex , it s no big deal . And anyway , I can take care of myself .
Rex : Adriana --
Adriana : Rex , look , I have to get back to work , ok ? So just go .
Rex : Can I keep these ?
Adriana : Knock yourself out .
Photographer : Ok , let s get started .
Dorian : Thank you .
Daryl : You need help with that ?
Dorian : No , no , I ll be fine . You have to get over to Ultra Violet right away . Take care of business .
Daryl : I m on it .
Dorian : Oh , excuse me .
David : Ow , lady .
Dorian : Well , David , what are you doing here ?
Natalie : John Mc Bain is not my boyfriend . And honestly , why should I stay out of this ? I came to you . I want to know the information .
Vincent : Hmm . Even if it could be hazardous to your health ?
Natalie : This gangsta talk has been really exciting , but let s get to the deal .
Vincent : It s no deal . You want to meet this witness , I m going to need something pretty significant in return .
Spencer : Gentlemen , we -- we re just in the middle of something .
John : Good , because we want answers from both of you .
Paige : What s going on ?
John : My father s dead because you were drunk when you operated on him . And then you covered it up . Start talking .
Evangeline : Todd wanted me to give this to you , and only you .
Clint : I want Jessica to be the one to give birth to this baby .
Tess : Jessica ?
Jessica : You ca nt do this without me .
John : Your mistake killed my dad -- now I m coming after you .

### Dialogue:
Jack : I - Ill get somebody to take that down .
Emily : ( Sighs ) It s a really lovely gesture , Jack .
Jack : If a little misguided . It never works trying to re - create the past .
Emily : Well , a lot has changed since last Christmas . Our whirlwind romance-- you swept me off my feet .
Jack : And you rejuvenated me . You gave me new hope . Back then , all we thought about was the future . Why ca nt we do that now ?
Emily : Do we have a future ?
Nick : Hi .
Phyllis : You should have called .
Nick : I was nt sure you would answer . You have made such a point of avoiding me . I d like to read Summer a bedtime story , if that s possible .
Phyllis : She s not here . That s why you should have called .
Nick : Sleepover ?
Phyllis : Yep , with Reed .
Nick : That s good . She s really missed him ever since they both had to leave the ranch .
Phyllis : Um , it gives me time to pack . We re taking off for a while .
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Victor : Sweetheart , I know this is hard for you to deal with , but Billy Abbott has been using you .
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Victor : He s been spying on you for his sister and for Tucker McCall .
Victoria : You do nt know for sure that they got their information from Billy . You do nt know that , Dad .
Victor : Sweetheart , they know that you gave a gun to Yonioshi . How would they have known if Billy had nt told them ?
Victoria : Billy would have no reason to do that to me .
Victor : Listen , you re blinded right now . Of course , he has a reason . He was probably offered money or a job at Tucker McCall s or at Jabot s , whatever .
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Victor : I know this is very difficult for you , but let me ask you . Has he been talking about this lately ? Has he been asking a lot of questions ?
Billy : Hey ! There you are . What are you doin out here ?
Victor : She wants you to get out of here .
Adam : I did nt expect you to be here .
Ashley : Believe me , I would nt be here if I knew that you were coming .
Adam : So it s not coincidence that I have nt seen you since I ve been back ? You know , I do nt want to upset you , so I ll just get out of your way , okay ?
Tucker : That s a real good idea .
Ashley : Wait a second , Adam . There s something I want to say to you .
Victor : You bet it is , son . You used her .
Billy : I ll tell you what , why do nt you come with , and we can discuss it , okay ?
Victoria : You stay away from me .
Billy : ( Clears throat ) What the hell did you say to her ?
Victor : Are you getting the message ?
Billy : I m not sure . What d you say to her ?
Victor : She is aware that you used her . You spied on her . You got it ?
Billy : ( Chuckles ) Wow .
Jana : I wanted to tell you all of this at the hospital , but you -- you can not imagine how overwhelmed I was .
Kevin : Come on , Jana .
Jana : ( Sighs )
Kevin : The aneurysm made you uncaring , not stupid . You wanted me out of your life , so fine , I m out .
Jana : No , no , no , no . That is the last thing that I want . I want my life back with you . I think that we can still love each other again . We re the same people at heart .
Kevin : We are not the same people , okay . My Jana would not have slept with my brother . She would nt have gambled away my coffeehouse on his bail , and she sure as hell would nt ask me to forget about this like it did nt matter . How insensitive can you get ? You know what ? Do nt answer that . I already know .
Adam : Ashley , I m half expecting this , and I deserve it , so you can go ahead and lash out to me for crimes real or imagined . I do nt mind .
Ashley : Did you just say , Imagined ?
Adam : My point , Ashley , is that I m okay with it . I m not gon na get in your face about it . You were a wonderful friend to me .
Ashley : I was a good friend to you , Adam , a much better friend than you ever deserved .
Adam : Ashley , I was a friend to you , too . When you could nt trust your own family , your husband , you needed somebody , and I was there for you . You relied on me
Tucker : This is unbelievable .
Ashley : But you see , he does believe it . Somehow in his mind , he s able just to wipe all the memories away . I wish I could do that , Adam . Then my baby would nt be dead , and Sharon would nt have grieved hers , and Richard Hightower s son--
Adam : I am not responsible for that .
Ashley : You shut up , Adam ! You make me sick , listening to you rationalize making that little boy an orphan .
Skye : Sweetheart , there s some investors wanting to talk to you .
Ashley : Could I ask you something ? Does he have you fooled , or are you just like him ?
Adam : ( Sniffles )
Skye : It s very sad , but I guess some people are just born victims .
Ashley : And some people are just born predators .
Tucker : Come on .
Adam : ( Sniffles )
Phyllis : We re not gon na be gone that long-- maybe a week .
Nick : And you were gon na tell me about this , when ?
Phyllis : I was gon na call you . Give me credit .
Nick : Well , Phyllis , I d like to , but the way you ve been acting lately , it makes it difficult .
Phyllis : Listen to you-- so Victor Newman of you . You know , uh , what I do on my own it is really none of your business , so you do nt need to comment on it .
Nick : So this crap you pulled the other night was nt for my benefit ? You making out with that punk in the car when you knew I would come back to see you .
Phyllis : Oh , sorry . Were you there ?
Nick : Well , I guess you did say you were gon na get back to your old ways . You did nt waste any time , did you ?
Phyllis : No , I did nt waste any time , although I wasted a lot of time being married to you .
Nick : That s nice . ( Sighs ) Well , since you re gon na be finding yourself on this trip , maybe I should watch Summer .
Phyllis : No , you do nt need to watch Summer . Summer is fine with me .
Nick : I do not want her associating with people like Deacon Sharpe . I mean , it was kind of hard to tell . You were all over him .
Phyllis : You know , your superior attitude makes want to puke .
Nick : The dude s a loser , and you know that better than anyone . You re the one who sent him to prison . What the hell were you thinking ?
Phyllis : I do nt know what I was thinking . I do nt know . That he looked good ? That s what I was thinking . That he was hot ... and I was hot , and he was there . Is nt that what you were thinking when you slept with Sharon ?
Nick : Oh , not this again , please .
Phyllis : Yeah , and then we were together , and who cares who gets hurt ? Who cares ? Who cares ? If it s good enough for you , Baby , it s good enough for me .
Billy : Hey , uh , have you guys seen Victoria ?
Ashley : I have nt , no .
Tucker : No .
Billy : Great .
Tucker : I m sorry . I know how you were dreading running into Adam . ( Sighs ) I m surprised you did nt run into him sooner , the creep . It s a small town .
Ashley : I know . Hopefully , after tomorrow s hearing , I can go right back to never having to see him again .
Tucker : Let s hope .
Ashley : Uh , by the way , did you notice that Victor is here ?
Tucker : Oh , yeah . Yeah , I tried to make eye contact . He was nt havin it . I think we definitely rattled his cage by mentioning that , uh , antique gun .
Ashley : It s gon na be interesting to see how he responds .
Tucker : I think maybe this is his response-- stonewalling .
Ashley : No , I do nt think so . It s not really like him . I think it s more like he s trying to figure out a way to neutralize the threat .
Tucker : So let s make good on it before he has the chance .
Ashley : You want to go back to the feds ?
Tucker : Yeah . Give them the hard evidence of Victor s bribe . That s the only surefire way to open up the Japanese market .
Ashley : I ca nt do it . I ve gone along with everything se you wanted to do , and I ca nt go along with that .
Sharon : So are you covering Gloworm for Restless Style ?
Chloe : Oh , no , Jill is . I m off tonight .
Jill : Oh , did I hear my name ?
Kevin : ( Scoffs ) It s like saying Beetlejuice . You summoned her .
Chloe : ( Chuckles )
Jill : Excuse me ?
Sharon : So what s the verdict , Jill ?
Jill : Verdict ?
Sharon : Um , on Gloworm ?
Jill : Oh , right , cause when you said Verdict , my mind went immediately to the hearing tomorrow with Adam . I m sure your mind went there , too , huh ?
Sharon : Not really .
Jill : Oh , right , cause you probably want to take a break from that whole business , get away from it all .
Sharon : Thank you for understanding .
Jill : Yeah . Except when you walked in here tonight , there s Adam . Your heart must have stopped
Kevin : Okay , Beetle - Jill . She came here to relax and have a good time , not to be interviewed .
Jill : It is human to be curious . We all wonder what you were talking about . Trust me , I understand that whole love / hate dynamic . I really do , but that has me stumped , because two nights ago , you were so terrified of him , you tried to kill him . And tomorrow , you re testifying against him , and yet ... ( Chuckles ) Tonight , you re chatting it up , I mean , seemingly perfectly comfortable with it . What s that about ?
Chloe : ( Whispering ) Beetle - Jill . Beetle - Jill . Beetle - Jill . Damn .
Adam : So who s overseeing your investments right now ?
Jeff : Well , I ve always done it myself . Uh , I m not gon na have time for it now , though , which is a shame , really , because ... ( Sighs ) I ve definitely got the touch .
Skye : Our style of investing is nt for everyone . It s definitely no - holds- barred .
Jeff : Yeah .
Adam : You write us a check , we could have your money working for you by midday .
Gloria : Ha ! Write you a check ( laughs ) Well , for the moment , our money s tied up in this place .
Jeff : Yeah , but , um , once the cash starts rollin in--
Skye : ( Quietly ) Um , I m going to use the restroom . Excuse me .
Victor : Hello , Gloria and Jeffery .
Gloria : Victor .
Victor : Looks like you have a success on your hands .
Gloria : ( Laughs ) May I quote you ?
Victor : No .
Gloria : ( Chuckles )
Victor : If you do nt mind , I d like a word with my son .
Adam : ( Clears throat ) You gon na buy me a drink , Dad ?
Victor : Maybe I should . These are your last days of freedom , Son . Enjoy them while you can .
Adam : You know , it s interesting . You re all so convinced I m gon na have my head handed to me in court tomorrow , but my attorney , who , might I add , is damn good at what he does , he ai nt concerned in the slightest .
Victor : You know , Son , it breaks my heart to say this to you . No one , nothing will save you from what you have coming to you . I will see to that .
Nick : Yeah , I-- I just -- I do nt get this . Really do nt . You are angry with me as if this were my idea .
Phyllis : Well , wait a second . You -- you really do nt understand why I m angry with you ?
Nick : You re upset about what you lost , yet you are the one who is throwing this away .
Phyllis : W - w - wait . I threw it away ? I did nt throw it away . What I lost , what I never had . I -- you were never there for me .
Nick : That s not true , and you know it .
Phyllis : Oh , I -- that s right . Oh , gosh , you know , I should be happy . I should be happy because you left your wife for me . That should be enough . That should make me happy . Mistresses do nt even get that much .
Nick : You re so hung up on this Mistress thing . I never saw you like that , Phyllis , not ever . Now maybe you do--
Phyllis : No , I actually do nt see myself like that ! I do nt , and at my lowest point , my very lowest point , I never , ever thought I deserved what you gave me , but I stayed in this . I stayed here because of our daughter .
Nick : You fought for the marriage . You wanted it as much as I did .
Phyllis : I wanted this marriage more than you did . I wanted it more than you did . But a real marriage , not this half - assed version that you gave me . But I should be happy , because I got sex . That s what I got , right ? I got sex , but Sharon got everything else . And sometimes , you d just , you know , you d change it up to keep us on our toes , did nt you ? It s this Newman arrogance that you think you re man enough for two women , but you know what , Baby ? ( Whispering ) I got news for you you re not .
Nick : I am not . ( Sighs )
Phyllis : ( Normal voice ) You re not .
Nick : I was nt trying to keep Sharon happy . I was trying to protect her . And trust me when I say this , she s as pissed off about it as you are . But she is the mother of my children , Phyllis .
Phyllis : Oh , God , if I ever hear that phrase again ...
Nick : It is a reality . She is gon na be part of my life . You knew that going in . It s part of the deal .
Phyllis : Part of the deal ? But there are her things that were nt part of the deal , Nick . Like humiliation ... so much humiliation . That was nt in our wedding vows . That was nt there . And ever since I went to Paris to surprise my husband-- I was standing , looking at you two on the bridge lip - locked--
Nick : Okay , I made huge mistakes . I admitted it . I tried to fix it , but nothing was ever enough . Your jealousy and paranoia--
Phyllis : Oh , whoa , whoa , whoa . Do you really want to go there ? You really want to go there ? Okay let s go there . Let s go there . Was my paranoia that slept with Sharon twice and got her pregnant ?
Nick : You kept pushing me away .
Phyllis : Oh , my God . You are unbelievable . You re unbelievable . You re really gon na try to convince me that it was my fault that you cheated on me .
Nick : I made my own decisions .
Phyllis : Yeah , you did . And I m sitting here talking to you , and I do nt think you re the least bit sorry .
Nick : Right or wrong , being with Sharon brought me Faith . So in that sense , I ca nt regret it .
Billy : Hey . Oh , finally .
Victoria : Oh , no , no . I do nt want to hear it , Billy . No .
Billy : No , no , no . I want to hear it . What did your dad say ? Would you just tell me what he said ?
Victoria : Mr. McCall found out about the gun , and you are the only one that knew about the gun .
Billy : Hey , no . I - I did nt do that . I did nt say any--
Victoria : Oh , really ? Oh , really ? Well , how did he find out then ?
Billy : I do nt know , but I did nt say it . I promise you . You have to believe me . I did nt say anything .
Victoria : Yeah , I have to believe you ? I believed you when you told me that I could trust you . ( Sighs ) And now I m in some serious trouble . No . Never again . Never again . No .
Billy : Hey , I wouldnt-- listen to me . I would nt get you in trouble . I love you . I would nt do this .
Victoria : Wow . Love , huh ?
Billy : Yeah .
Victoria : Now we see how far that s gotten us .
Billy : You--
Emily : I thought you were gon na let the staff take down the tree .
Jack : Yeah , I thought it was a kind of therapy .
Emily : ( Sighs ) Jack , there s nothing more you could have done . You ca nt blame yourself . It s not like we have nt tried .
Jack : I guess we just wanted different things .
Emily : I would nt say that . I wanted this life with you . I ve never been happier . I felt so cared for . I ve never had that kind of closeness with my family that you do . And to imagine that I could be part of that ...
Jack : You still can .
Emily : Jack , I am in love with a man that I can not fully trust , and it s not your fault . It s not . ( Sighs ) As much as I want to , I ca nt let go of all that s happened . And I am trying ... ( Sobs ) ( Sighs ) I m trying so hard to get my life back together . And to stay here , I ... ( Sighs ) Just pretending that it s going to be okay ... you would end up resenting me . You would , Jack , and I would resent you , too . I ve seen it happen to too many marriages and to many relationships , and do nt want it to happen to us . Which means ... ( Sniffles ) There wo nt be an Us . And I do nt want to leave , but I - I feel like I have to . It s not easy for me , not at all , Jack .
Jack : ( Sighs )
Emily : ( Sniffles ) ( Sighs )
Paul : Hello , Paul Williams .
Patty : Hey , Pauly . It s so good to hear your voice .
Paul : Patty ? Thank God ! Where are you ?
Patty : I know you ve been worried . I m so sorry .
Paul : Patty , you need to tell me where you are .
Patty : Oh , I m far away , I m -- I m doing fine . I ve changed , Pauly . I m gon na be a better person now .
Paul : Honey , y - y - you need to tell me where I can find you .
Patty : No . We re never gon na see each other , Pauly . Would you tell Mom that I m gon na make up for all the bad things I ve done ? You make sure you tell her , okay ?
Paul : I want you to come home , okay ? I - I - I miss you like crazy .
Patty : I miss you like crazy , too . But I m never coming back to Genoa City .
Paul : Patty ? Patty ? Are you there ? !
Emily : ( Sighs ) I am not finished packing yet , but , uh , I just wanted to give you these before you went to sleep .
Jack : Well , you re not leaving tonight ?
Emily : Well , the longer I stay , Jack , the harder it will be .
Jack : D - dont go anywhere yet . ( Sighs ) Paul .
Paul : Hi . Uh , I got a call from Patty .
Emily : ( Sighs ) And how is she ?
Paul : ( Stammers ) She says she s fine .
Emily : I honestly thought that , uh Adam murdered her .
Jack : Did she tell you where she was ?
Paul : Um , I - I - I-- I tried to trace the call , but , all I could find out is that she is somewhere in South America .
Jack : Well , that s more than you knew before .
Paul : Yeah , so maybe we ll be able to track her down .
Emily : Wh - wh - what did-- what did she say ?
Paul : Um , just that she was never coming back .
Jack : I m not sure I believe that .
Paul : I do nt know . She sounded pretty sure . ( Sniffles ) But you re right , you know ? She s very unpredictable . Maybe I should check out the security system in the guest -- uh , pool house .
Emily : Um , I m not gon na be staying here anymore ... ( Sniffles ) Not because of Patty . ( Sighs ) It s just , given the circumstances , I wo nt be staying in Genoa City .
Chloe : Oh , you re still here . Cause Kevin blowing you off a gazillion times just is nt enough , huh ?
Jana : Are you two seeing each other ?
Chloe : ( Chuckles ) No , no , not that it s any your business .
Jana : Because I am still his wife .
Kevin : What s going on here ?
Coe : Oh , nothing . Your ex is just marking her territory .
Jana : I think I m entitled to know what is going on here .
Chloe : Hmm .
Kevin : Jealousy ? That s the emotion you re starting to feel ?
Jana : Well , if I am , that s a good sign , right ?
Chloe : Still ca nt get a hint , huh ?
Tucker : You did nt flinch when we confronted Victor with the evidence of the bribe .
Ashley : Of course not .
Tucker : The implication was clear . Either he loosens his grip on the Japanese market and we go to the feds--
Ashley : Then I thought about it , and I m convinced that it s a mistake to do that .
Tucker : I do nt understand this from you . You know how the game is played . You know , it just happened to me , remember ?
Ashley : I do , but I-- I agree with competition . I love competition . When you re talking about a criminal prosecution , Tucker , you re bringing it to a whole another level . I mean , it s as if you re declaring war . And believe me , Victor will make sure that there is casualties on both sides .
Tucker : So you re protecting Jabot ?
Ashley : Yeah .
Tucker : And your daughter .
Ashley : Of course . Look ...
Tucker : ( Sighs )
Ashley : I ca nt tell you what to do . But if you decide to go ahead and report Victor , then that s where we part company .
Victor : Do not let yourself forget what Adam is capable of .
Sharon : I do nt . How could I ?
Victor : There s a tendency in all of us to see what we want to see , even now . You re not the first one who s desperately looking for a shred of decency in that man .
Sharon : ( Sighs ) I know how sick he is ... depraved . I constantly remind myself of the things he s done , but there are times when I m listening to him , and he is the man I fell in love with .
Victor : I m warning you , stop listening . I m his father . I ve spent many a night praying there s a glimmer of something decent in that man . There s nothing decent in him . Do not get sucked back into this , I m telling you .
Jill : Jeffrey .
Jeff : Ah .
Jill : I m sure I ll regret saying this out loud , much less putting into print , but I have to hand it to you , you done good .
Jeff : ( Laughs )
Jill : ( Giggles )
Jeff : Jill , Jill , Jill , if this is another one of your feeble attempts to get into my pants ... ( Chuckles )
Jill : Oh , my God .
Jeff : ( Laughs )
Gloria : ( Laughs )
Jill : Well ... ( Laughs sarcastically )
Gloria : And what is so funny ?
Jeff : Just Jill throwing herself at me .
Gloria : Ah . ( Laughs )
Jeff : ( Laughs )
Jill : You wish !
Gloria : ( Laughs ) Well , hey , actually , it s not so surprising . I mean , after all , you are the co - owner of the hottest spot in Wisconsin , and that s the sort of thing that desperate women go after .
Jeff : Hmm .
Jill : Desperate ?
Gloria : ( Laughs ) Yeah .
Jill : You be careful , Wormy . We would nt want Gloworm s thumbs - up in Restless Style to turn upside down , would we ?
Gloria : Mm . Hmm .
Tucker : ( Sighs )
Ashley : What are your thoughts ?
Tucker : Well , I appreciate the position you re in . And for reasons I m sure you ll understand , it moves me when a mother puts herself on the line for her child .
Ashley : So I moved you ? Have I also convinced you not to call in the feds ?
Tucker : Well , you make a good point , you know ? I mean , Victor is already under the gun , so to speak . So maybe if we can wrangle some significant concessions from him ...
Ashley : Oh , Tucker , I think we can . And then we do nt have to involve any outside interference that we do nt have any control over .
Tucker : I m hoping it does nt come to that .
Ashley : I m so happy to hear you say that . I d better go call and check on my daughter , and make sure she got dried off and home safely .
Tucker : Yeah . Good luck .
Ashley : I ll be right back .
Tucker : ( Sighs )
Jill : Victor seemed particularly churlish this evening . I hope I had something too with do that .
Tucker : Well , I did put the information you gave me to good use .
Jill : Well , good . Excellent . So when can I expect to hear from your investigator ?
Tucker : ( Sighs )
Jill : I m a little anxious to get on the track of my birth parents .
Tucker : I have nt called him yet , Jill . Do nt you worry . I wo nt let you down , Darlin .
Jill : Hmm .
Nick : ( Sighs ) So I , uh , I left Supergirl a note . I ll call you later , and we can , uh , set up a time when I can say good - bye to her .
Phyllis : Uh - huh .
Nick : You know , for Summer s sake--
Phyllis : For Summer s sake , let s keep our distance .
Nick : It will be better we can find a way to get along . I ve been through this with my parents . It is truly awful .
Phyllis : And you went through this with Sharon , too , and she handled it beautifully .
Nick : Phyllis , come on .
Phyllis : She is so great . I wish I was more like Sharon .
Nick : We are not talking about Sharon right now .
Phyllis : So wonderful ... I wish I was like her . Too bad that I speak up when something hurts me , and I actually mind when you cheat on me . Too bad . Sharon s so lovely . She s so wonderful , is nt she ?
Nick : Sharon is not the reason .
Phyllis : She -- she s so--
Nick : We are breaking up .
Phyllis : Oh , I know . I know , because she is so wonderful and beautiful and pure and innocent . I love Sharon ! I wish I were like Sharon ! Ugh !
Nick : All right , uh , you re not insecure at all .
Phyllis : Yeah , I m not insecure ! You did this to me ! You deceived me like this ! You did this ! ( Breathing heavily )
Nick : We ll talk later when you ve calmed down .
Phyllis : We re not gon na talk later ! Get out of my house ! Get out !
Nick : You re acting crazy right now . Just--
Phyllis : You re crazy , you son of a bitch .
Phyllis : You re crazy !
Billy : Look , I m gon na keep calling you till you answer your phone . I did nt tell Tucker anything about the gun , but I figured out who did , and I m gon na tell-- just call me back .
Jill : Hi , Sweetheart . I thought I d get this--
Billy : Shut up . You re fired .
Jill : Again ? What for ?
Billy : For leaking that information about the antique gun to Tucker . And do nt --dont start your usual crap and try to deny it , because it s a waste of time . I know you did it . I ca nt even fathom what you got from it , but I hope it s enough to pay your bills , because as of now , you re fired . You re out . Do nt come back .
Nick : Hey . You want some company ? Or are you with Billy ?
Phyllis : ( Inhales deeply ) ( Exhales )
Kevin : ( Laughs )
Chloe : ( Laughs )
Kevin : ( Laughing ) I heard you .
Chloe : ( Speaking indistinctly )
Kevin : ( Speaking indistinctly ) It was the second time .
Chloe : ( Laughing )
Kevin : ( Laughs ) ( Speaking indistinctly ) That he was gon na ... and it was the funniest thing . ( Laughs )
Chloe : ( Laughs )
Kevin : What was that ? It was -- no , no . No , no , no , no .
Chloe : ( Sighs ) ( Laughs )
Victor : I know it wo nt be easy for you tomorrow to relive what Adam has put you through .
Sharon : I have no choice .
Victor : No , you do nt . He confessed to you , and whatever he confessed , you must tell the judge . Otherwise , Adam will go free .
Sharon : I know .
Victor : Be strong . He is a dangerous man . I ll see you tomorrow at the courthouse .
Skye : I ve had it with your fixation with Sharon . It nearly got you killed , and if you keep this up , it s gon na get you divorced , too , which you do nt want , because if I go , the money goes with me . Oh , and so does Vance Abrams .
Adam : I hear you , Skye .
Skye : And you re gon na forget about Sharon ?
Paul : Okay , so , um , I will take these two bags to your car .
Emily : Okay , thank you . ( Sighs )
Paul : Um , listen , Emily . I will never forget what you did for Patty . And , um , if ever you need anything ...
Emily : I ll keep your number handy . Yeah .
Paul : Thanks .
Emily : Thank you . ( Exhales )
Paul : Good luck to you .
Emily : Thank you .
Paul : ( Sighs )
Jack : I was gon na give this to you at Christmas , but ...
Emily : ( Sighs ) ( Sniffles ) Thank you . ( Laughs ) ( Sighs ) Oh , Jack . Can it stay ? ( Sniffles ) It s just , you said your tree was filled with memories , and ... ( Sniffles ) Well , I d like to think that I could be one of them . ( Sighs )
Jack : I do nt want to let you go .
Emily : I think I could stay if I - I loved you just a little bit less . ( Sighs ) Can I get a hug ? ( Sobs ) Oh . ( Sniffles ) Good - bye , Jack . ( Exhales ) ( Sighs )
Patty : ( Sighs ) Well , I m all yours .
Man : Mm .
Patty : ( Giggles ) You remind me of someone .
Man : Oh , yeah ?
Patty : And Alejandro is such a hard name to pronounce .
Alejandro : ( Chuckles )
Patty : May I call you Jack ?
Alejandro : What should I call you ?
Patty : Mary Jane .
Alejandro : Mary Jane ?
Patty : Mm - hmm . ( Laughs )
Alejandro : ( Whispering indistinctly )
Patty : Mm . ( Sighs )
Alejandro : ( Whispering indistinctly )
Patty : All right . ( Laughs )
Gloria : ( Chuckles )
Jeff : A positive review in Restless Style .
Gloria : And Victor Newman was impressed .
Jeff : We did it .
Gloria : Yes . ( Chuckles )
Chloe : Can we get a picture ? Mnh , mnh , mnh .
Man : Where s the manager ?
Kevin : Uh , she s right over there .
Chloe : There .
Gloria : Officers , what s going on ?
Man : We re closing you down .
Gloria : Oh , you ca nt do that .
Jeff : What for ?
Man : Obscene conduct and indent exposure .
Gloria : What are you talking about ?
Man : You had a stripper in the champagne glass .
Gloria : That was no stripper . And she was swimming in her corset .
Jeff : ( Laughing )
Gloria : Shut up . This could be a disaster .
Jeff : Are you kidding ? It s fantastic . ( Laughs ) Getting shut down our first night ? We got naked broads . We got cops . We ll be notorious . I m buying you a drink .
Gloria : Yeah . ( Laughs ) Cheers .
Chance : I m hurtin here . Can you guys hook me up with something ?
Skye : Please do nt tell me you are still holding out hope that she s gon na come back to you .
Nick : He let you think that your daughter was dead . Are you gon na let him get away with that ?

### Dialogue:
Mia : I do nt wanna screw things up for you , Nicole . And I want what s best for Sydney too , but ...
Nicole : If you want what s best for Sydney , then you need to keep quiet . Mia , listen to me . Nothing has changed . Nothing has or will change as long as you do nt say anything .
Mia : Oh , so now you re threatening me .
Nicole : No , no , no , I m not threatening you . I m just trying to get you to consider maybe--
Mia : You re telling me to not say anything , like I m just some pathetic little girl you can push around .
Nicole : Why am I not getting through to you ? Mia , this is nt about you . This is about Sydney .
Mia : Yeah , so you ve said about a million times . But I have to think about Chad too . I mean , how do you think he would feel if he found out my rehab counselor adopted a baby ?
Chad : What are you two talking about ? Did you adopt a baby ?
Brady : I figured it would nt take you that long to track me down . Where are your thugs ? You bring em this time ?
EJ : You re a real son of a bitch . You know that ? You knew , did nt you ? All of Nicole s dirty little secrets . The miscarriage . You knew that Sydney was nt my biological daughter . You knew ... and you helped her do it .
Brady : And you want to know what ? I would do it again . If she said yes , I would do it again in a heartbeat .
Sami : Hi , Grace . It s your mommy . I m back . I miss you . I miss your smile . I miss playing creep mouse , creep mouse with you . When I m sad and lonely and worried , I always know I can come here ... and that you ll make me feel better . You ll help me find peace . I wish Rafe were here . I know he could use some peace .
Carly : God , he s arresting .
Omar : What s that mean ?
Carly : His heart stopped . Come on , we did nt fish you out of the water so you could die on us . The first aid kit , get it . There might be something in there that can help us .
Omar : I m sorry , I ve checked already . I do nt know the last time it was replenished . All we have are bandages and some alcohol .
Carly : Come on . You hear that ? It s just me , okay ? You and me , so you re gon na have to work with me . Come on . Come on ! Come on .
Daniel : [ Sighs ] Aah ... oh , man .
Chloe : Hey , you .
Daniel : Oh , well , hey you . Get on over here .
Chloe : Mmm ...
Daniel : I better go back out and come in again .
Chloe : You know , I think I love the idea of being here waiting when you come home .
Daniel : Really ? You know what I love ?
Chloe : What ?
Daniel : You .
EJ : You did nt help Nicole to protect her . You did it so you could make a fool out of me . You happy ? I lost my whole family because of you .
Brady : You lost your whole family because of you . You know why Nicole lied , EJ ? Because you made her do it .
Nicole : You know , Chad , walking into someone s house uninvited is extremely rude .
Chad : Yeah , whatever . Now , how bout you answer my question ?
Nicole : How bout you leave and do nt come back unless you re invited ?
Chad : Hey , last time I saw you , you threatened me . You told me poor Mia had been off in rehab , that she was still so fragile . And if I did nt leave her alone , she d get back on drugs and it would ruin her life . Remember those lies , lady ?
Nicole : I was trying to help Mia maintain her cover story .
Chad : Mia was never in rehab . She was off having my baby .
Mia : Chad , can we talk about this later ?
Chad : No . I m sick of people whispering , hiding things , trying to keep me in the dark .
Nicole : Maybe that s because it s none of your business .
Chad : You know what , I m getting a real vibe here , and it s telling me you re the reason for all the lying that s going on .
Mia : Chad , come on .
Chad : So no . I m not leaving . Not till I get the whole story , one way or the other .
Nicole : [ Chuckles ] I do nt believe this .
Chad : Mia , I heard you talking to this lady about adopting a baby . Now , why would that even be a secret ? And why is it making you so upset ?
Daniel : Come on , Chloe , be honest with me . Did you start a day care center while I was gone ?
Chloe : No .
Daniel : It sounds like it in there .
Chloe : Ha ha . Nicole had me watch Sydney for a little while . Sydney , say hello to Daniel .
Daniel : Wow , you re getting cuter by the second .
Chloe : Who , me or the kid ?
Daniel : You sexy , her cute .
Chloe : She is so cute . You know , I really love looking after this little sweet pea . Especially now that I ca nt see Allie anymore .
Daniel : Yeah . What s with this little sad frown on her face , though ? What s that ?
Chloe : I do nt know . She was fussy earlier , and I tried giving her a bottle and she would nt take it . What do you say ? Why do you seem so unhappy , Syd ? Honestly , I do nt know if there s something wrong with her .
Daniel : Maybe I do .
Mia : Chad , I m not upset , okay ?
Chad : Yeah , like hell you re not .
Nicole : Well , if she is upset it s because you came barging in here asking questions . Now , if you do nt mind , we d like a little privacy .
Chad : Uh , I m the baby s father . I can ask questions if I want . Like what are you doing here ?
Mia : Chad !
Chad : Because she was already upset when she got here , which means you re the one who caused it . And for some reason , you re right in the middle of Mia s life lately . Why is that ?
Nicole : Because I m counseling her .
Chad : Counseling ? You mean , like , helping her lie . I m sorry correction : Making her lie .
Nicole : Excuse me ?
Chad : Do nt tell me you did nt know she had a baby . Were you the one that told her to come up with that lame story about her going to rehab ?
Mia : Chad , it s not like that . That was all my idea .
Chad : Fine , fine , whatever . But are you saying you never told her you had a baby ? Even though she adopted one ?
Mia : Uh ... no . And you know what , Nicole s right -- you should go . I want you to leave me alone .
Chad : Hey , I m with you in this , babe . I m your boyfriend now . Remember ? Oh , and just to fill you in on what s going on , Mia promised me if I d back off trying to find my daughter , she d dump Will Horton and come back to me . And that s what she did .
Nicole : That is a real sacrifice .
Chad : See , the problem with that is I do nt want her back ... if she s going through the motions to shut me up .
Carly : Okay , his heart s going again , but his pulse is weak . It s not good .
Omar : He still looks cold . I ll get some more blankets .
Carly : No , no , it s okay . You have to recover gradually from hypothermia , otherwise it s too much of a shock to the system .
Omar : Is that why his heart stopped ?
Carly : Possibly . His extremities can take the punishment , but if his core body temperature is too low , we re gon na lose him . We re gon na have problems . So we have to get him warm , okay ? Wow , he took a blow to the head . I d say two , huh ?
Omar : Maybe he hit the side of the boat when he fell into the water .
Carly : Yeah , maybe . All I know is that we have to get him to the hospital . I m afraid if we do nt ...
Sami : I know why Rafe left . It was because of me . He did nt want to tell me things , and I got all obsessed about it . Like I ve been known to do . But you know what , I ve thought about it a lot , and-- and I know that he loved me . Wherever he is , I just-- I just want him to be happy , Grace . I just want him to be happy .
Carly : Come on , hang on . You re young , you re strong . You made it this far .
Omar : I wish I could do something .
Carly : He needs all the help he can get . And if I do nt think of something soon , it might be too late .
Chloe : Well , well , doctor , you diagnosed her problem stat .
Daniel : Quite a challenge .
Chloe : Yeah , but you nailed it . And I m really impressed -- you changed that diaper like a pro .
Daniel : I did , did nt I ?
Chloe : Mm - hmm .
Daniel : Of course it helps that they make these things so simple a monkey could do it .
Chloe : I think it s cause she really likes you .
Daniel : Yeah ? That s my new BFF ?
Chloe : Yeah .
Daniel : What do you say-- we pals now ? Hmm ?
Chloe : Look at how she s staring at you . Oh , my gosh , I think she loves you .
Daniel : Yeah , well , I guess I just have a way with women .
Chloe : That you do . You know what , you are gon na make a terrific dad .
EJ : The two of you lied about everything . And that s my fault ?
Brady : Nicole knew that you were with her because she was gon na have your baby EJ . And when she had the miscarriage , she knew exactly how you would see it .
EJ : You have no idea how I would-- anyway , I did nt come here to discuss this with you .
Brady : Then what do you-- what do you want to talk about , EJ ?
EJ : I have a question .
Brady : Well , I hope I have an answer . Go for it .
EJ : Why did you help Nicole lie ? So she d end up with me ? Does nt make any sense . I mean , everybody knows that-- everybody knows you love her , Brady .
Nicole : What is with you ? Pushing this poor girl around like you own her .
Chad : Hey , does she speak for you now , Mia ? Is that what s going on here ? Because we had a deal . You want me to back out on my part ?
Nicole : All right , get out ! And take your threats with you . If you do nt want to be her boyfriend , then fine . The world will undoubtedly be a better place . [ Sighs ] It s okay , Mia . Everything s gon na be fine . Chad ca nt hurt you . Chad ca nt hurt anyone .
Mia : Nicole , you do nt understand . I got back together with Chad so he d back off . I knew that you would nt like him asking questions about the baby .
Nicole : Mia ...
Chad : Wait a minute , what d you say ?
Mia : I did nt want him to go digging around because I knew that you d hate me .
Nicole : Dont -- dont say another word .
Chad : Whoa , whoa , whoa . Lady ... why would you care if I m asking questions about what happened to my daughter ? My kid s got nothing to do with you ... right ?
Carly : Hey , Omar , the water bottle . Find some more , fill it with warm water , okay ? Not hot , warm , okay ?
Omar : Right away .
Carly : All right , just hang in there , okay ? We re gon na get you warm . You ve got people pulling for you , so do nt give up .
Rafe : [ Breathing unevenly ] Sami .
Carly : Hey , did you say something ? Come on , stay with me , all right ? Talk to me . What s your name ? Tell me your name , come on .
Sami : Rafe ... I think your fever broke . I think we won .
Chloe : Wow , she just ate this entire jar and had half a bottle .
Daniel : Well , you know what , it s starting to make me hungry .
Chloe : Hmm .
Daniel : How bout I make us an omelet ?
Chloe : Um , have you looked in your fridge lately ?
Daniel : I ve been spending a lot of time at the hospital .
Chloe : Yeah , well , there s nothing in there except , like , an old carton of Chinese food .
Daniel : That s from a month ago . Really ? Nothing in there ?
Chloe : Yeah , no , nothing . Not even another jar of peaches if Sydney gets hungry .
Daniel : All right , well , that s no problem . We ll just go out .
Chloe : No , I do nt think that s a good idea .
Man : These are warm , maam , like Omar said .
Carly : All right . Could you ask him just to keep em coming , all right ?
Man : Yes , maam .
Carly : Thanks . All right , this is gon na work . It s gon na work cause it has to work . It s all we ve got . Right ? I did nt come all this way to watch a man die . Okay ?
Lawrence : Why would nt you want to watch a man die ? What are you doing , Carly ? Trying to save a life to atone for murdering me ?
Brady : Excuse me , but are nt you the guy that kicked his wife and baby out in the street ? Why would it matter to you how anyone else feels about her ?
EJ : Just answer the question .
Brady : EJ , Nicole loves you . She lied because she wanted to be with you ! She wanted to make you happy . That s why she got Sydney .
EJ : Why did you help her , Brady ?
Brady : She is my friend . She always was my friend . I wanted to help her .
EJ : Is that how you help your friends ? You encourage them to lie ?
Brady : She worshipped you . You were lucky to have her .
EJ : Lucky ? I m lucky ?
Brady : Yeah .
EJ : She turned my life upside down , mate .
Brady : Do you think that you were completely blameless in all of that ?
EJ : If I m to blame for anything , it s that I loved the woman who lied to me . What about you ? It s your big chance , Brady . I mean , the woman of your dreams , she just ... fell at your doorstep , did nt she ?
Brady : If I wanted her at my doorstep , EJ , I d would have come to you . I would have told you the truth myself . And then I would have picked up the pieces after you threw her ass out .
EJ : If you did nt want her to go running to you , then why did you help her lie to me ?
Nicole : Why in the world would you think I have anything to do with Mia s baby ?
Chad : Oh , I do nt know . Maybe you re the one who told Mia that giving away my daughter was the easy way out . Poof , all problems solved .
Nicole : Okay , let s say I did suggest adoption , which I did not . For the tenth time , why would it be any of your concern ? Because , as I recall , you were conveniently out of the picture , and this poor girl was left frightened , alone , pregnant , facing things that you have no--
Chad : She gave away my daughter . And I know Mia . That s something she never would have done .
Mia : Chad ...
Chad : Not unless she had some counselor whispering in her ear .
Mia : It was not like that . I swear .
Chad : No ? Then tell me what it was like ?
Mia : Well , Nicole s right . I was alone and I was scared , and you never called . And then I met Nicole .
Nicole : Okay , Mia , stop right there .
Chad : What is it with you ? Every time she tries to talk , you shut her up .
Nicole : We will deal with this later . Mia , honey , you re upset , and you re not thinking clear .
Chad : She was pregnant , and my guess is-- is her parents kicked her out ... and she meets you ... and you tell her to give her baby up for-- how old is the baby you adopted ? My God , Mia . Did you give this woman our baby ?
Chloe : Daniel , we ca nt eat out . We have to stay here with Sydney .
Daniel : Why not just take her with us , hmm ? What s your pleasure ? Do you want something fancy or Brady pub ?
Chloe : Hmm , well , the pub , I guess , cause at least I know they have high chairs there . Or she could just sit on your lap if she gets fussy .
Daniel : Ha , right , right . Why do nt you let Nicole know , okay ?
Chloe : All right , I ll go call her . You know what , this is gon na be fun . And it ll be great practice for when we have kids and we need to go out . Daniel , every time I mention children , you ... well , you do nt look happy . Do you not want to have kids ?
Carly : I am scared to death this man is gon na die . You , you re nothing but a-- but a bad memory . So I ll tell you what you can do , Lawrence . Go to hell ! Oh , wait a minute , you re already there , are nt you ? How s that working for you , huh ? Total suffering , I hope . If you think I feel even the slightest bit guilty for what I did to you , think again .
Lawrence : Oh , yes , you re guilty .
Carly : No .
Lawrence : That s why I m here . You ll always be guilty . Get used to seeing me .
Carly : You want to know what I think when I think of you ? I m glad I did you first , because you were gon na kill me , were nt you ? Or worse , you were gon na try to kill somebody that I love very much . You deserved to die .
Lawrence : But you , my love , you -- you re a doctor . Your job is to save lives , not end them .
Carly : Well , there has to be a tradeoff , right ?
Lawrence : So you honestly believe some lives are worth more than others .
Carly : I believe that what goes around comes around . Trust me , I have no regrets !
Lawrence : Then why did you run away ? You could have stayed and explained , bragged even . But you ran . Do you actually think you can hide from what you ve done ? My people will find you , Carly . You ll be found ... and punished .
Carly : Okay , just hang in there . We re gonna -- we re gon na keep you warm , okay ? Just hang in there .
Brady : You -- you re not listening , EJ . I m trying to tell you why I did it . She s a friend of mine . She always has been . I was trying to help her to make her happy .
EJ : Oh , really ? I see . So you sacrificed your own happiness so that she could be happy with me . Is that right ?
Brady : Yes . Is that hard for a selfish bastard to understand ?
EJ : [ Scoffs ] It s very noble . For a little tramp like her .
Brady : You just ca nt fathom how much she loved you , can you ? It s absolutely beyond you-- understanding that everything she did was an attempt to make you happy .
EJ : Well , I realize that s the , uh , party line , Brady , but she s basically corrupt . She s morally vacant .
Brady : [ Sighs ] And you , the paragon of virtue . You re punishing her , right ? By throwing her out on the street .
EJ : You re damn right I am .
Brady : I get that . But why are you punishing an innocent baby ? You tell me that .
Nicole : Look , Chad , I do nt know what you think you know--
Chad : Shut up ! Mia , answer me .
Mia : I m really sorry .
Chad : It all makes sense now .
Nicole : No , you re jumping to conclusions .
Chad : That s why you came on so strong the day I first saw you . You wanted to make sure I stayed out of the picture .
Nicole : No , I was trying to protect her from having to deal with you .
Chad : You wanted to make sure I had no idea who the family was that adopted my little girl . It was your family .
Nicole : No , that s not true .
Mia : Nicole , we ca nt lie anymore . He knows .
Nicole : Mia , stop .
Mia : I m sorry . I did nt want to lie . It just seemed like what I had to do .
Nicole : Mia ...
Mia : Yes ... Nicole adopted our baby . She s married to EJ DiMera , and they have our baby Sydney .
Nicole : You know what I almost did tonight ? I almost told your daddy the truth . That the woman who gave birth to you is Sami . And if that s what it would have taken to make sure you were healthy , I would have done it in a heartbeat . Luckily I did nt have to . So you see , that s proof that this was meant to be . You re okay , and mommy s secret is going to be safe ... forever .
Chad : Hey , you listening ? I want to see my daughter . Right now .
Nicole : No , you , uh ... you do nt understand . Mia , Sydney is not your baby .
Daniel : Look , no , Chloe , it s not that I do nt want to have kids .
Chloe : What then , you do nt think we should ?
Daniel : Chloe , I love you . You are gon na make a terrific mother , but you just got out of the hospital .
Chloe : So you re saying we should wait a while ?
Daniel : No , no , no , all I m saying is this . Why do nt we just go have dinner , and we ll talk about it some other time ? That s it . Okay ?
Chloe : Daniel ...
Daniel : Come on .
Chloe : This is important to me , all right ? I mean , I ve always loved opera and performing . But really , deep down inside , what I ve wanted more than anything is to have a family .
Daniel : I understand that . I do , and you are gon na make a terrific mother -- you are .
Chloe : Just not right away . Daniel ?
Rafe : I should probably change this bandage , though , because I do nt want this damn thing getting infected .
Sami : Stop it -- no , no , no , no , no , no -- wait , wait .
Rafe : Oh , God .
Sami : Just sit , okay ? Please , let me -- let me help you . All right , let me look at it .
Carly : Hello ? Can you see me ? We re just trying to get you warm . You re doing better . Your heart stopped , but I managed to get it going again . You re gon na be okay . Just hang in there , okay ? You can beat this .
Rafe : Sam ...
Carly : Hey ... Sam . Who s Sam ? Huh ? Come on , is that you ? Are you Sam ? Come on .
Sami : Well , Grace , I should probably get going . Be at peace , sweetheart . I love you . And , uh ... look after Rafe for me , okay ? Make sure he s okay .
EJ : I do nt owe you any explanation for anything that I did involving Sydney .
Brady : No , but you do owe one to Sydney . And if you do nt see that , EJ , then it s good that you threw her mom out along with her daughter because now she has a chance , EJ . She has a chance to find a dad who s a hell of a lot better than you .
EJ : How dare you ! You have no right to judge me .
Brady : You think you re the good guy in all this ? You need to think again . I am glad the way things turned out because you do nt deserve Sydney as a daughter . You do nt deserve to have a happy family !
Chad : Sydney ... that s my baby s name ? Sydney .
Nicole : As I said , she s not your child .
Chad : Yeah , yeah , yeah , whatever . If Sydney s not my kid , then prove it .
Nicole : Chad , listen to me . You do nt know what--
Chad : Look , I want a DNA test done , and I want to get it started today .
Nicole : Okay , Mia , Chad is obviously not listening , but did you hear what I said ?
Mia : Yeah .
Nicole : Sydney is not yours . And it s more complicated than you realize .
Mia : Listen to her , Chad . She s not ours . She s been adopted . She s in a good home with parents who love her . They re rich . They can give her a wonderful life with the best schools .
Chad : Giving her away was nt your call . I m her father . I have rights too .
Nicole : You have nothing . You gave up any rights you had when you dropped out of Mia s life and left her to make all the decisions .
Chad : I m the kid s father .
Nicole : You are the irresponsible sex partner who impregnated a young girl and then disappeared . And now you want to step up and play daddy of the year ? I do nt think so .
Mia : We have to let her go , Chad . I ve seen her in their home . She s really happy .
Chad : Look , we can make her happy too .
Nicole : Oh , sure you can . You re 17 , no job , no education . No idea how to take care of a child . Yeah , she ll have a really great future .
Chad : Look , I want what s mine ! Okay ?
Nicole : Oh , really ? So that s how this is , huh ? This is all about your ego ? You think you own her ? Well , first of all , she is not yours .
Chad : No , that is not true .
Nicole : You know what , I ll play along here for a second , okay ? Let s say , miraculously , she was handed to you right now . What would you do ? Hmm ? Would you drop out of school ? And then what , beg for a job in this economy ? And what happens when you have to pay rent ? You gon na move in with your parents ? All three of you -- you , Mia , and Sydney ? Is that what you want ? If it is , you re more pathetic than I thought .
Omar : The worst is over ?
Carly : I hope so . His pulse is stronger , his lungs have cleared , but his fever is spiking again .
Omar : That ca nt be good .
Carly : No , but here s my main concern . You ve been sending a lot of signals ship - to - shore looking for help . Information gets out that way . And I m sure that the signals were monitored ?
Omar : Unfortunately , yes .
Carly : Yeah , and now we re getting inside of cell phone range . So if he stays with us , with me , he s gon na be in danger because of me . And he s just so helpless right now .
Omar : What can we do ?
Carly : Maybe talk to your captain . Get him to pull into a port that has a good hospital . We can drop him off ... me too . Because I ca nt put you at more risk than I already have . All right ? You and your captain . And if a crew member finds out that I m wanted back in--
Omar : Carly , no one on the crew knows anything about you .
Carly : You might be surprised . The important thing is that we get this guy the help he needs .
Chloe : You are . You re saying that you do nt want to have any kids at all .
Daniel : No , no , no . That s not what I m saying . All I m saying is let s just take it slow .
Chloe : Well , how slow ? Like , months , years ?
Daniel : Hey , hey , we re not even married yet ... okay ?
Chloe : How slow ?
Daniel : Look , stop . Stop . I would love to have a family . But let s just think about this , okay . You re barely out of the hospital . And the first thing we need to concentrate on is making sure that you have made a full , full recovery .
Chloe : Why are you being so cautious ?
Daniel : I m a doctor . That s it .
Chloe : Yeah , but usually you re so spontaneous and really up for anything . Is there something about my recovery that you know that I do nt ?
Daniel : No . No , I looked at your last tests . They re good .
Chloe : Oh , God .
Daniel : What ?
Chloe : This is about your wife , is nt it ?
Daniel : What ? No . No , no , no , not at all . I m just being protective . That s all .
Chloe : Why , because I had cancer ? Could my being pregnant hurt me somehow ?
Daniel : No . No . Look , when the time is right , we ll start thinking about building a family , I promise .
Chloe : You sure ?
Daniel : One thing you can count on is I will never lie to you ... about anything . Okay ?
EJ : And then the white knight came in ... clippity - clop , clippity - clop ... and he saved the princess from the mean ogre . And he took her away , and they got to go back and live in his castle . And they loved happily ever after . Your daddy s your white knight . You know that ? Yes , he is . What do you want , hmm ? You want me to save you from some more ogres ? I ll do that . I promise . Hmm ? Oh ... I ca nt tell you how happy you make me .
EJ : You know , every time you smile , you light up my life . You really do .
Chad : Hey , lady ... Nicole ... whatever your name is , I m still Sydney s father , and I want my kid to know me .
Nicole : As what , some high school hot shot who had unprotected sex and took a hike ?
Chad : Hey , if I d known , I would have taken responsibility . If Mia had told me , I would have come home , done whatever had to be done .
Mia : You ca nt change what happened , Chad , and I did the right thing . Sydney is going to have a happy life . Now you need to back off and let it go .
Nicole : Look , look , look ... I m really sorry if I came on a little too strong . But you have to stop obsessing about this . Mia is right -- just let it go . You re young . You have a whole world of possibilities ahead of you .
Chad : Look , I m not moving on without my daughter . Okay ?
Mia : Chad . Chad , do nt go !
Carly : That s okay , we do nt need any more water . Just ... he s recovering . He s unconscious . I m more worried about his fever than anything else .
Man : Maam ?
Sami : Brady . Brady .
Brady : Hey . Hey , hey , Sami , how you doing ?
Sami : Hey , um ... I think I m doing better than you . What s up ?
Brady : Nothing , nothing . Just thinking , hanging out .
Sami : Thinking about Nicole .
Brady : Yeah , yeah . Tough times with that .
Sami : Yeah , yeah , I ca nt imagine what she s going through right now . But I mean ... she lied about having a miscarriage ... to EJ . She brought a strange baby into his house . I ve got to say I m not surprised that he threw her out .
Brady : Well , it would have been nice if he could have seen it from her perspective , Sami .
Sami : Really ?
Brady : Yeah , really . I mean , she was so desperate to have a life with him that she felt like she had to lie . That was it .
Sami : Yeah , no , no , I see it from her perspective . I m just not surprised at what EJ did . I mean , I know from personal experience he s not the kind of guy that forgives and forgets .
Brady : No , he s obviously not that .
Sami : Like I said , I get why Nicole lied about the miscarriage . I was shocked to find out that you were involved , Brady . Are nt you the good guy ? What the hell happened to you , Brady ?
Daniel : You know what , I love you so much , sometimes it scares me .
Chloe : I am fine , Daniel . Thanks to you . So stop being so overprotective , okay ?
Daniel : All right , all right . I ll try , I ll try .
Chloe : And do nt be afraid of the future . I m not .
Daniel : I m not at all . In fact , I m looking forward to it . With Mrs. Jonas right by my side . And right now , you know what else I m looking forward to ?
Chloe : Um ... food ?
Daniel : I fantasize about it . Steak .
Chloe : Of course .
Daniel : Yes .
Chloe : I knew it . All right , let me go get this bundle of joy ready to go . Oh , um , her stroller is in the bedroom . Would you mind getting it , please ? Thank you . Sydney , you want to go for a ride ? Yeah , let s go for a ride .
Chloe : Hmm , who is that ?
Daniel : I do nt know . Stay back a second .
Nicole : Where s my baby ? I need my daughter right now .
EJ : Harold !
E.J. : Harold !
Chad : Where s Sydney ?
EJ : Who are you ?
Chad : I m her father .
Mia : I lied to you both about my little girl .
Nicole : EJ wants us to come home .
Bo : What more do you want ? What more is there ?

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Alexis : All right , well , thank you for apologizing . It s just , you know , a courtesy call would keep me from worrying--
Sam : I was -- I was working a case and it was on this teenage girl , and , well , actually , the family of the teenage girl called me because they think that she s headed for trouble , so I figured if I brought Kristina along , I would just blend right in .
Alexis : Huh . Where d you go ?
Kristina : The mall .
Sam : Yeah . We pretended to shop .
Kristina : I like hanging out with Sam .
Alexis : I m sure you do . Sam s fun . The mall ?
Sam : Yeah . The mall .
Alexis : On a stakeout ?
Kristina : It was nt that big of a deal .
Sam : No , it was a big deal , Kristina . Um , we should be more considerate to Mom .
Kristina : Okay , sure . Um ... thanks for taking me , Sam . Homework . I ll be in my room .
Alexis : Okay .
Sam : The mall .
Alexis : [ Laughs ] Imagine that . I was -- you know-- you re mall rats .
Sam : It wo nt happen again .
Alexis : I went to the mall once . Lied about my age . That s when I got my ears pierced . My other friends would go there all the time and they got with boys . You do nt think she s gon na do that , do you ? Get all boy crazy and everything ?
Robin : That is the file that the PCPD has been waiting for . Could you please make sure that Mrs. Kincaid s latest test results are in there and also with a copy ?
Nurse : Sure , Dr. Scorpio .
Robin : Thank you .
Maxie : Robin , good . I really need your help tonight .
Robin : Uh , what s up ?
Maxie : Well , I have to return all the fabulous wedding gifts that I got , and , you know I love Spinelli , but he ca nt write a brief note to save his life . And I have a feeling he might give me some grief about the crystal wine set and Mega - Vega juicer that I plan on sort of forgetting to return . Do you know how long I ve been wanting one of those things ?
Robin : As much as I would love to do the thanks but no thanks notes , I m slammed here . Sorry .
Maxie : Well , what about Patrick ? He could even bring Emma .
Robin : Emma is with the sitter , and Patrick went to Jake s for a new karaoke competition , and if he does nt win , he will be inconsolable .
Maxie : You , uh , you let Patrick go to Jake s without you ?
Robin : Maxie , let is not a word we use in our marriage . We are grown - up people ; we trust and respect each other .
Maxie : Yeah , you are also nuts . A hot guy like Patrick alone in a bar with a bottle of tequila and a spotlight and a roomful of single women ? I mean , that sounds like a recipe for disaster to me .
Robin : First of all , he s not alone . He s with , uh , Louise .
Maxie : Louise ?
Robin : Yeah , Louise , the , uh , assistant district attorney . Oh , it was so funny , actually . Her best friend is Patrick s college girlfriend .
Maxie : Oh , so she s Patrick s ex - girlfriend once removed . Have I taught you nothing ? If you do nt give Patrick what he needs , Louise will .
Louise : Looks like your kind of place . Low end , rowdy , brimming with opportunities . Reminds me of Pig Alley .
Patrick : Oh , Pig Alley , Route 3 ; have nt talked about that place in years . You know what they say -- you can take the boy out of the dive , but you ca nt take the dive out of the boy . Coleman , sir .
Coleman : What s up , macho ? Hey !
Patrick : How are you ?
Coleman : Good . Who s your lady friend ?
Louise : Let me guess . This is the bar owner , right ?
Patrick : Yes . Coleman . Coleman , this is Louise Addison . Louise , Coleman .
Coleman : Wait , I remember you were at the carnival .
Louise : Yeah .
Coleman : That was me running the shooting gallery . Hey , you look good with a rifle .
Louise : Thanks . You cheated , but it was for a good cause , so I m not gon na report you .
Patrick : Louise is our assistant district attorney in this fine city of ours .
Coleman : In that case , first drink s on the house .
Louise : Vodka rocks .
Patrick : Two , please . Thanks .
Coleman : K.Z. , 2 vodka rocks , buddy .
K.Z. : Vodka rocks .
Coleman : Well ... What do you say you grab that karaoke mike and get this crowd up on its feet for me ?
Patrick : Oh , yeah ?
Coleman : Hey , this dude s an animal .
Louise : Legend has it .
Patrick : Enough . I ll see you in a second .
K.Z. : You know , uh , I could get up there and sing something .
Coleman : Karaoke night at Jake s ai nt for amateurs .
K.Z. : Who died and made you Simon Cowell ?
Coleman : Keep smiling . So does you - know - who know you re here with what s - her- name here ?
Patrick : You - know - who my wife ? She knows where I m at , she knows who I m with , but thank you very much for asking .
Coleman : Just checking .
Coleman : You in a hurry , John ?
Johnny : Yeah . Tequila shots , please . Keep em coming .
Olivia : I do nt now how to break this to you , Sonny , but you were never an option for me .
Sonny : I m just trying to apologize cause I know how much I flirted with you , and I m letting you know that s not gon na happen again .
Olivia : Just so you know , I did just fine without you for the past couple of decades , okay ? Another 20 years , it s gon na suit me just fine .
Sonny : When you throw this kind of attitude , it means that you re hurt , and if it has something to do with your boy toy Johnny , I ca nt help you with that one . But if it has to do with me , I m telling you sincerely that I m sorry .
Olivia : I do nt want your apology . I do nt want anything that you have to offer . Okay ? I broke up with Johnny because we got nothing but crap from everybody around us , and the worst of it was the way that you were treating him . Constantly putting him into danger . He s a decent man , and he does nt deserve to suffer because of me . All right ? So I broke up with him because I care , not because I do nt .
Claudia : I m trying very hard not to be insulted .
Dominic : Oh , well , then you should stop leaving yourself open to it .
Claudia : You know what I would hate ? I would hate for something ugly to happen between us , Dominic , especially sex . [ Water pouring ] I was hoping for the opposite .
Dominic : Well , uh , we re not having sex . Not now , not ever .
Claudia : You know , you were pretty hot for me . But then I guess you found your own good graces in my husband s organization , did nt you , without my help . So , what , you do nt need me now , is that right ?
Dominic : Well , that s one way of looking at it . The other way is to assume that I took you at your word when you told me you were nt interested . And I like Sonny . I respect him . And I like my job , not to mention I d like to keep on breathing .
Claudia : Oh , so I guess it would be bad if I told Sonny that you are not who you say you are at all . Huh ? That you ve been lying to him all along ? Right , Dante Falconeri ?
Dominic : I m afraid you have me confused with someone else .
Claudia : Laugh all you want . There s no way out of this . Dominic Pirelli is a lie . You re Olivia Falconeri s son . See , your family has this really bad habit of changing your names . Your cousin Connie , for instance , aka , Kate Howard . She s got a very big mouth , especially when she s had too much tequila .
Dominic : Well , maybe you were the one who had too much to drink . You re obviously hearing things .
Claudia : No , I heard your mom and your cousin Connie yapping about you in the parking lot outside of Jake s . So , my husband is gon na be so disappointed when he finds out that your mother has been lying to him all these years .
Dominic : What do you want , Claudia ?
Claudia : I want you . Right now . And any other time that I say . Or Sonny s gon na find out about you ... and about your mother .
Jason : Hey , the warehouse is gon na be a lot easier to break into than the PCPD . I need you in my ear . That s the only way I m ever-- what are you doing ?
Spinelli : Making my own preparations .
Jason : Sorry , Spinelli , but you ca nt go .
Spinelli : What ? ! Breaching the perimeter of a restricted facility is just the sort of manly action that I need to restore my prowess post - honeymoon .
Jason : I m sorry ; you ca nt come with me , Spinelli .
Spinelli : Oh , come on , who more than your trusty sidekick would be more valuable or welcome on a mission like this ?
Sam : Hi .
Jason : Hey .
Sam : Are you guys going to work ?
Spinelli : Yes , Stone Cold and his trusted protégé are about to embark on a mission of great importance . You know , entry through an air duct is required and--
Sam : Please . I m sorry , do nt let me stop you .
Jason : Actually , I want you to come with me .
Sam : Really ? Okay . Yeah . No problem .
Maxie : So , let me get this straight .
Robin : Thank you .
Maxie : Your husband is at a bar with a strange woman and you re here up to your neck in paperwork .
Robin : It s called marriage , Maxie .
Maxie : No . It s called you ca nt be serious . You have to work at keeping your guy happy . I mean , you know that .
Robin : Has Patrick said something about being unhappy ?
Maxie : The best offense is a good defense .
Lucky : Are you talking football ?
Robin : [ Laughs ] Yes , something like that . Uh , this is the file on Mrs. Kincaid . All signs indicate domestic abuse .
Lucky : Great , thank you . So I hear congratulations are in order .
Maxie : Oh , thank you . It was the best non - wedding ever to happen .
Robin : How s Elizabeth ? We miss her around here .
Lucky : She just needed a little time on her own .
Robin : Well , that can be good sometimes .
Lucky : Yeah . Listen , I hope all works out well for you .
Maxie : Thank you . Case in point .
Robin : Which point ?
Maxie : Elizabeth and Lucky . They were the marriage that had a meltdown . Elizabeth stopped paying attention to him . And I should know . I was the other woman .
Robin : I pay attention to him . There is no -- other woman .
Maxie : No , of course there-- I love you . Just listen to me , okay ? All I m trying to tell you is that it s never too soon to put that extra spark into your relationship .
Patrick : To Lisa -- party girl ... party girl supreme .
Louise : [ Laughs ] Wherever she is and whatever she s doing , if she knew we were together , she d rather be here with us .
Patrick : Cheers .
Louise : You know , for a guy I just met , I know way too much about you .
Patrick : It s all lies . It s all lies . Especially that story about that bartender that kicked my ass because I hit on his twin sisters . Never happened . I got the best of him .
Louise : Yeah ? And the twin sisters ?
Patrick : That part s true .
Louise : [ Laughing ]
K.Z. : Give me a chance . Let me get this crowd going .
Coleman : Dude , you re a stand - in bartender . I do nt pay you to sing . And besides , man , I overheard you trying to whistle a tune back in the kitchen . You need a little practice , brother .
K.Z. : Ohh ...
Coleman : Here . Table 12 . [ Sighs ]
Johnny : Uh - uh . Keep pouring them . [ Coleman laughs ] Maybe this ll help , buddy .
Johnny : Okay . Salud .
Coleman : Should I , uh , bring another glass ?
Johnny : All right , Coleman . If I pass out , put me under one of those tables over there . If I do nt pass out ... keep pouring till I do . Ohh ...
K.Z. : All right , man . 10 bucks . 10 bucks says I can get this crowd moving .
Patrick : Come on .
Louise : No . I d have to be a lot drunker than I am to do karaoke .
Patrick : See , that I do nt blame you for . I ve done some pretty crazy things in my life , but nothing has terrified me as much as getting in front of everybody and singing . But you know what ? No time like the present . Tame the lion . Let s do this .
Patrick : You know , that s cool I ve always wanted an opening act . [ Music playing ] You d be surprised how many people get up there and choke .
K.Z. : How can I just let you walk away , let you leave with a trace , and I stand here taking every breath with you , oh , oh , you re the only one who really knew me at all , how can you just walk away from me , when all I can do is watch you leave , cause we ve shared the laughter and the pain , we ve even shared the tears , you re the only one who really knew me at all , so take a look at me now , there s just an empty space and there s nothing left here to remind me , just the memory of your face , take a look at me now , there s just an empty space , and you coming back to me is against all odds , and it s what I ve got to face , I wish I could just make you turn around , turn around and see me cry , there s so much I need to say to you , so many reasons why , you re the only one who really knew me at all , so take a look at me now , there s just an empty space , and there s nothing left here to remind me , just the memory of your face , so take a look at me now , there s just an empty space , and you coming back to me is against all odds , and it s what I ve got to face , take a good look at me now , yes , I ll be standing there , you coming back to me is against all odds , and it s what I ve got to face take a good look at me now
Carly : Hiya . Hey , sorry I m late . I had to stop by GH for a prescription .
Sonny : How you feeling ?
Carly : Oh , fine . Just vitamins for the baby .
Sonny : Have a seat . What s going on with Michael ?
Carly : Well , Michael had another rage episode last night . Molly and Kristina were over , um , Kristina s boyfriend stops by to give her a ride home , and Michael , he just lost it .
Sonny : I ve met Kiefer . There are many reasons to want to hit that guy .
Carly : It does nt mean Michael has the right to just attack him .
Sonny : Okay . But do you want me to talk to Michael ?
Carly : No , I can handle Michael . I need you to talk to Alexis .
Sonny : So , Molly and Kristina told her ?
Carly : Yes , and she found Michael and she starts unloading on him about how he s dangerous and damaged and she does nt want him around Molly or Kristina .
Sonny : Alexis has a tendency to be overprotective .
Carly : You think ? If I did nt walk up when I did , she would have talked Michael into committing himself .
Sonny : But you do nt think you may be exaggerating a tad ?
Carly : Alexis has no compassion for Michael . Instead of worrying about our son , she should pay attention to her own daughter .
Kristina : Mom , I have hours of online research to do .
Alexis : Come on . It s not so torturous to sit and talk to your mother for one minute , okay ?
Kristina : Okay .
Alexis : You re at an age where you re probably really confused about a lot of things , and I love you enough to want to be able to give you the answers .
Kristina : If this is about where babies come from , I already know that .
Alexis : I know . I remember . You were good . You got an A. I noticed that you re spending a lot of time with Sam , and I-- I think that s great , I do , because I want you to be close to your sister . But I know you . This is a time in your life when you probably ... well , you have a lot of questions , and I want you to be able to bring those questions to me .
Kristina : Because you do nt trust what Sam might tell me ?
Alexis : Honey , I do nt know what Sam would tell you . I know that she loves you very much , and I know that her intentions are always good . But because of ... circumstances , she was nt raised the way that you and Molly were .
Kristina : What are you trying to say ?
Alexis : I m saying that I want to be able to offer you the guidance that I was nt able to give Sam .
Kristina : Well , at least Sam did nt run a pregnant woman off the road and let you take the blame .
Jason : Look , I need to break into the police warehouse . Okay ? If things go wrong , I get arrested , so what ? If things go wrong for you , you lose your whole license , your P.I. , your business , everything .
Spinelli : The Jackal has faced more deadly dragons and lived to tell about it . I mean , not that I have nt had my share of injuries or incarcerations , but--
Jason : Okay . Best way you can help me -- you know this -- is from home .
Spinelli : Okay , covert intrigue requires one more -- considerably more petite and agile than Stone Cold .
Jason : Um ...
Sam : I mean , I do the field work . I need you , though . I need you . You re so important . See , you re gon na be in my ear the whole time guiding me through everything .
Spinelli : While I would prefer more active participation , I concede that there is an advantage to sending fair Samantha in my stead . You two have my blessing .
Dominic : If you think Sonny would be interested in what I m doing , what do you think he s gon na say when he finds out you invited me up to a hotel suite .
Claudia : Oh , why would he believe you over me ?
Dominic : Oh , my God . Out of the two of us , who s got the bigger history of lying and manipulating ?
Claudia : Really , Dante ? If you were such a Boy Scout you would have told Sonny who you were right away . But you did nt . You ve been hiding it all this time , which tells me that you ve been up to no good for a long time . Who are you working for ? Hmm ? The Sabatinis ? The Dagostas ? Which rival family has paid you to get into Sonny s life ?
Dominic : Well , you just have it all figured out , do nt you ?
Claudia : I know my father and Sonny will kill you when they find out . So you re gon na do what I want , when I want , from now on . So come on , Dante , let s do this .
Dominic : You re , uh ... you re wanting to sleep with me so badly that you re threatening my life . I wonder why .
Spinelli : Stone Cold ? Fair Samantha , testing .
Jason : We re here . Just keep it simple .
Spinelli : Okay .
Sam : Yeah , we re on the north side of the building .
Spinelli : I m unable to disable the entire security grid , but I will be able to divert cameras , which should allow fair Samantha to gain access through a rooftop vent .
Sam : What was that for ?
Jason : It s good luck .
Sam : Hmm .
Dominic : Is this about my ma ? Sonny has a history with her and you feel so threatened by that you get revenge by doing her son ? Or maybe it s because she s with your brother . Either way , that s pretty twisted .
Claudia : Well , think whatever you want . I do nt really care . Do you want me to take your clothes off , or do you want to do it for me ? Huh ?
Officer : Police ! Open up !
Claudia : What do you want ?
Officer : Dominic Pirelli , you re under arrest .
Claudia : What the hell ?
Officer : Mr. Pirelli is wanted for questioning .
Dominic : Why ? I did nt even do anything .
Claudia : Keep your mouth shut . Questioning for what ?
Officer : The armed assaults on the Corinthos warehouses .
Dominic : Oh , come on , you kidding me ? I was getting run over by a car at a kiddie carnival at the same time that was happening .
Officer : Then you got nothing to hide . Let s go .
Alexis : Well , if you wanted to hurt me , it did . So ... I can see you re really , really mad . Is it just at me ?
Kristina : No , it s Dad , too . Every time he looks at me , all he sees is that accident . That I m the one that made Claudia lose the baby . And now he has an excuse to stay away from me . Which does nt bother you . You d be happy if I never see my father .
Alexis : Actually , no , Kristina , that would nt make me happy . I m going to suggest to you right now that you start to focus on things that you have to be grateful for , because there are many . Your sisters , this home , how smart you are , how pretty you are . You are so lucky , and you need to focus on that . That s my job , to get you to channel that in a positive way , because you re establishing a foundation for the rest of your life right now .
Kristina : Which means avoiding Sam and my father whenever possible ?
Alexis : That is not what I m saying .
Kristina : What are you saying , mom ? I happen to think Sam lives a pretty cool life .
Alexis : I happen to think Sam is really cool . I happen to think there s wonderful things about Sam and I hope you emulate them . But I also hope that there s things that you do nt emulate .
Kristina : Because she did nt get into Yale and she s not a lawyer ?
Alexis : Stop it . Stop it ! That s not what I m saying . I m saying-- you need to know that I m not perfect . And I do nt think that I m perfect . You also need to know that I did not have a loveable and a supportive childhood , and I would nt wish my childhood on anybody . I want better for you . And there are plenty of things that I ve done that I wish that I could do over , and if I could do it over , I would .
Kristina : Like not get pregnant with Sam or me ?
K.Z. : Man , I told you I could do it .
Coleman : Oh ! You sure did , man !
K.Z. : Yeah .
Coleman : Everyone s too intimidated to follow your act . Thanks a lot , man .
Louise : You going to sing , make it fast . The crowd s thinning .
Patrick : Yeah . I think I m just going to take tonight off .
Louise : [ Gasps ] Coward .
Patrick : I m not . I just know when I m outmatched .
Louise : I need some food . What s good here ?
Patrick : Jake s ? Nothing is good here . Fries are the only thing that wo nt make you sick . But I do know the Chinese restaurant-- we can grab some takeout , maybe bring it back to Robin .
Louise : I do nt want to intrude .
Patrick : No , you re not intruding . I know her . She ll get home from work . She ll be mad she did nt pick something up . She ll pour a bowl of cereal , look over medical journals , and you know what ? She s going to be hungry . So we ll surprise her .
Louise : All right .
Patrick : How s that ?
Louise : Yeah .
Patrick : Thanks , buddy .
Coleman : You got it , macho .
Robin : Maxie ? What is this ?
Maxie : Okay . Well , if you read a good magazine every once in a while instead of all those boring journals , you would know that Crimson ran an article on how to spice up your romance life with a little fantasy and role play .
Robin : Wow . This is so not my fantasy .
Maxie : Oh , come on , Robin . You ll never know until you try .
Robin : [ Laughs ] But I do nt even know what I m trying .
Maxie : Well , this is planet sexy to Robin .
Robin : Uh - huh .
Maxie : Patrick is out drinking with another woman .
Robin : There is no other woman .
Maxie : No , there s not . And we re going to keep it that way .
Robin : I m so hungry . I should have got some takeout on the way home . Is there any food on this planet sexy ?
Maxie : No . Food -- food is for later . This is for now . It s an outfit that I got for you to wear to help , you know , Patrick get ready .
Robin : Okay . This is just silly .
Maxie : Oh , Robin . Come on . What is Patrick going to expect to see when he walks in here ?
Robin : Oh , me on the couch eating cereal reading my medical journals . Thanks .
Maxie : Yeah . You have to surprise him .
Robin : Okay , but I just -- I do nt know about this .
Maxie : Robin , just keep an open mind , okay ? I mean , what s the worst that could happen ? You guys will have a few laughs and then mind - blowing sex .
Alexis : There is nt one moment in my life where I wish that I did nt have you . From the moment you were conceived , I have loved you with every fiber of my being .
Kristina : [ Sighs ] Even when I remind you of my father ?
Alexis : [ Chuckles ] Your father s a very difficult man with a very unusual life , but he s got some really fun qualities . He s got a really tender heart . And he can be really charming .
Kristina : What about all the bad stuff ?
Alexis : Honey , nobody s perfect . The only thing you can really do is just try really hard to make positive choices in your life whether it s your health , whether it s your job , your goals , even the people that you spend time with .
Kristina : Not Sam ?
Alexis : No--
Kristina : Not Michael--
Alexis : I m not talking about them .
Kristina : Is there anyone in my life that you actually approve of ?
Alexis : Now you think I m really going to answer that ? Whoever I name , you re just going to pull away from .
Kristina : Just do nt tell me not to spend time with Kiefer , because then I d have to break up with him .
Alexis : Hmm .
Carly : You are Kristina s father . You have a say in who she spends time with .
Sonny : You want me to order Alexis to let Kristina spend time with Michael ?
Carly : Sonny , Michael has a lot on his plate right now . He s about to have a brand - new baby sister , a frazzled mother and stepfather . I do nt want him to feel lost in the shuffle . He s close to Kristina . They rely on each other . And besides , if Kristina ca nt come over , then Molly ca nt come over , and that s not fair that Morgan has to pay the price because Alexis is crazy .
Sonny : What exactly would you like me to do about it ?
Carly : I want you to stand up for your boys . I want you to tell Alexis she s overreacting . That s what I want you to do .
Sonny : I m getting a lot of advice lately on how to be a father .
Carly : Well , at least I m worrying about the kids that are born right now , worrying about the ones we have .
Sonny : If that s a dig at me for wanting another child with Claudia , that s not happening , okay ? I need to focus on the kids I already have .
Dominic : Nice timing . Thanks for the ride . You guys can go .
Ronnie : Thanks , guys . Tell Lieutenant I ll take it from here .
Dominic : [ Sighs ] And that is why I did nt want to wear a wire .
Ronnie : What , you wanted to sleep with Sonny s wife ?
Dominic : My cover could have been blown sky - high .
Ronnie : Claudia knows you re Dante Falconeri . Your cover ca nt be blown any higher than that .
Dominic : But she has no idea that I m a cop . I ll say I got brought in on questioning . They had nothing to keep me , so they let me go .
Ronnie : Claudia Zacchara s nobody s fool . [ Sighs ] From what I hear , she s vindictive as hell . All she has to do is dig around a little bit , and she could find out some more .
Dominic : Look , I can save this .
Ronnie : I spoke to Gorski . It s been decided . Your cover is shredded . You re off the case .
Sam : Spinelli , there s no evidence box for Ian Devlin .
Spinelli : Well , the schematics of the warehouse indicate the boxes are alphabetized north to south .
Jason : The schematic is wrong . Boxes are everywhere .
Sam : Maybe we should just split up .
Lucky : Hands up . Step to the center of the aisle .
Sam : This probably looks really bad .
Robin : [ Sighs ] Mmm .
Robin : Greetings , earthling .
Robin : Welcome to my planet of ...
Johnny : Oh , she may be weary , but young girls do get weary , wearing that same shabby dress , and when she s weary , try a little tenderness , mm - hmm , ohh , she may be waiting , just anticipating the things you never possess , and while she s waiting , try a little tenderness , you got ta hold on , you got ta squeeze her , you got ta try and try to please her , you wo nt regret it , you wo nt regret it
Johnny : Try
Johnny : A little tenderness
Dominic : Look , I can finish this assignment . Claudia thinks I m working for a rival mob family . My cover is safe .
Ronnie : Yeah , only until she spills to Sonny .
Dominic : No , she wo nt .
Ronnie : Well , how do you plan to shut her up , huh ? By sleeping with her ? The woman is a whack job . You re going to wind up twice as compromised and just as dead . And by the way , so is your mother .
Dominic : Okay . Okay . I just need a little more time .
Ronnie : There s not a chance . You re off the case .
Dominic : Not until Corinthos is busted .
Ronnie : You got your orders .
Dominic : Then I ll resign , if I have to , and continue this case as a private citizen . But one way or another , Sonny is getting arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law .
Carly : Well , I ca nt imagine Claudia took it very well . She s been walking around town telling everyone that she was going to have your baby .
Sonny : Have to give credit where credit s due . She was disappointed , but she did okay with it , you know ? She ...
Carly : I m glad you came to your senses .
Sonny : It was actually Kristina who got me through what I was going through , because I felt guilty because it was her who caused the accident that ... made Claudia lose her baby . And I felt obligated to give her another child . I know that s wrong . But I was talking to Mike about it , and Kristina overheard . She got upset . She could nt believe that I would bring another child into this world because of guilt over something she did . You want the truth ? I got to tell you-- I m more worried about Kristina than I am about Michael because Michael s a lot like you . He s a survivor . He s proved it over and over again . Kristina , she s fragile , you know ? I mean , her mother--
Carly : I get it .
Sonny : Claudia .
Claudia : What are you doing here ?
Sonny : Uh , I was just going to ask you the same thing .

### Dialogue:
Tripp : [ Clears throat ]
Jade : How many times you gon na watch those DVDs ?
Tripp : I mean , it s the only way I can get to know my mom-- thanks to Kayla .
Jade : So you re , like , 100 % sure she s the one who iced your mom ?
Tripp : Makes total sense-- even more now that after I talked to my dad s sister .
Jade : Adrienne Kiriakis ? What d she say ?
Tripp : A lot . But what stuck to me most was that my dad took the rap for her when she killed their old man so she would nt get sent away .
Jade : I told you Steve s a good guy .
Tripp : Maybe . At least I know he was not the one who killed my mom . But she deserves justice , and I m gon na make sure she gets it .
Jade : I doubt that there s any evidence against Kayla ... especially since Steve is the one who took the rap .
Tripp : Then I ll find another way .
Steve : Aw , come on , Joe . You know she s just looking out for you .
Joey : I know . I just-- I wish she d leave it alone , you know ? I do nt need mom to play matchmaker .
Steve : Look , she just wants you to meet new people .
Joey : Meet a new girl , you mean .
Steve : What can I tell you ? She thinks you re a catch .
Joey : Yeah , right .
Steve : Yeah , well , I know you re kind of funny - looking and a little bit nerdy , but she s your mom . She thinks you re handsome .
Joey : Yeah , what s up with that ?
Steve : I do nt know . Anyway , maybe this dr . Trout s daughter really is a catch . You talk to her on the phone yet or texted with her ?
Joey : Yeah , both . She actually seems pretty cool , so ...
Steve : Alice , right ?
Joey : Alyssa .
Steve : Oh . Okay . Well , listen , just a date . Try to have a good time .

Roy : Nicole .
Nicole : [ Gasps ]
Roy : You made it . Eric showed me your picture . I m Roy , the pilot .
Nicole : Oh , hi , Roy . Oh , my goodness .
Roy : Here you go .
Nicole : Hi , sweetheart . Oh , hi . Yeah . Oh , god , I was nt sure I would make it back . Oh , my little angel . Roy , thank you . Thank you so much for taking care of her .
Roy : Oh , she s a special little girl .
Nicole : Yes . Yes , she is .
Roy : Where s Eric ?
Nicole : Oh ...
Eric : [ Grunts ]
Xander : You ve been a bad boy , Eric , riding to Nicole s rescue , helping her escape . Looks like she s even found her way off the island .
Eric : Yeah , that s good to hear .
Xander : Not for you ... and not for her when my men find her and bring her back to me .
Eric : Yeah , well , she s long gone by now .
Xander : I doubt it . I still have the one thing that she cares about more than anything in the world : Her precious little baby .
Eric : [ Laughing ] Yeah , you better guess again , buddy . You guess again .
Marlena : Hi , honey .
Brady : Hey .
Marlena : Um ... any word from Nicole ?
Brady : No . I m hoping no news is good news , though .
Marlena : Yeah .
Brady : How about , um , dad ?
Marlena : Oh , I tried reaching him . No luck so far .
Brady : It s fine , Marlena . It s fine .
Marlena : It s not fine . And if he knew what was going on , he would move heaven and earth to be with you . You know that .
Brady : I know that . I do .
Marlena : Oh .
Kayla : Uh , bad timing ?
Brady : No , not if -- not if you have the latest results for me .
Kayla : Well , I do , but I could come back when you re alone .
Brady : Kayla , it s okay . She s -- she s family .
Kayla : Okay . Um , the test shows that your body is not responding to the antirejection medication .
Brady : All right . Um , what about a new-- new heart for me ?
Kayla : It s not likely .
Brady : You re telling me that I m -- I m already dying , are nt I ?
Xander : How did you do it ? That nanny had instructions not to release the baby !
Eric : Yeah , well , I told her her orders were to release the baby to me .
Xander : Damn you , Eric !
Eric : It s not my fault you could nt hire somebody who could calm an infant .
Xander : You tell me exactly where the baby is !
Eric : She s safe in the arms of her mother , somewhere far away from here .
Xander : [ Yells ]
Nicole : Eric is still with the guards . He was trying to keep them from coming after me .
Roy : Well , the fact that he still is nt back tells me that the guards are keeping him now .
Nicole : I did nt want to leave him . But he told me to go while I had the chance .
Roy : Eric told me if you come back alone , we should leave without him . You good with that ?
Nicole : Yeah . I ca nt lose her again .
Joey : So , uh , your major ... premed ?
Alyssa : Why would you think that ?
Joey : I do nt know . I just assumed , since your dad s a doctor .
Alyssa : So s your mom . Are you premed ?
Joey : No way . I hate the sight of blood .
Alyssa : Me too .
Alyssa : So , uh , my dad says you have a sister ?
Joey : Yeah , uh , Stephanie . And a half brother , Tripp . Uh , he s my dad s son .
Alyssa : So you have a stepmom ?
Joey : Uh , no , not-- not really . [ Chuckles nervously ]
Alyssa : What do you mean , not really ?
Joey : Um ... could we talk about something else ?
Alyssa : Sorry . Yeah . Too many questions ?
Joey : No , it s okay . Um , I just-- I want to hear more about you . So what is your major ?
Alyssa : Promise you wo nt laugh ?
Joey : Now I probably will .
Alyssa : Oh , my god .
Alyssa : I do that too . The minute someone tells me not to laugh , that s exactly what I have to do .
Alyssa : But seriously ...
Joey : Okay .
Alyssa : Do nt laugh .
Joey : All right . [ Laughs ]
Alyssa : I have nt even told you what it is yet .
Joey : Sorry . Sorry .
Alyssa : God , Joey .
Joey : Oh , I always do that . [ Laughs ]
Alyssa : It s theater . I know . I know .
Steve : Okay . Hey , lock the door . Make sure it s secure .
Tripp : So what s the story ? We here to , you know , make a big drug bust ? Break up a jewelry heist ?
Steve : Well , first of all , I would nt have asked you along if there was any real danger involved .
Tripp : I mean , you know , not like I could nt handle it .
Steve : Well , maybe you could , but , uh , I could nt handle it if anything happened to you .
Tripp : [ Sighs ] So what are we doing here ?
Steve : Well , as much as I would like you to believe your dad is a badass crime buster , sometimes the cases I work on are , you know , small - scale domestic issues . You know ...
Tripp : Like what ?
Steve : Well , custody battles , cheating spouses , that kind of thing . Come over here . See that building across the way ? There s one window with a light on .
Tripp : What about it ?
Steve : Well , that is where my client believes that her husband is having an affair with a coworker . It s my job to prove her right or wrong . I told you , small - scale today .
Tripp : I mean , small - scale or not , it ll , you know , still be cool to see you in action .
Steve : Well , you know , I-- I am grateful that you re giving me a chance to show you what I do .
Tripp : Yeah , but , uh ...
Steve : What ?
Tripp : Look , I do nt think we should get ahead of ourselves , okay ? I mean , I m all up for the idea of me getting to know you a little better , but ... it s not simple , you know ? There are still some ... issues .
Steve : I understand . We ll take it slow .
Xander : Are you looking to be forgiven ? Is that why you risked your life for someone who hates your guts ?
Eric : I do nt want anything . I did what I had to do .
Xander : Oh , because you always do the right thing , do nt you , Eric ? Except for when you drive drunk and start mowing people down . I hope you get some satisfaction out of playing sir Galahad . This is not gon na end well for you ... or Nicole .
Nicole : This nightmare is almost over , sweetheart .
Roy : We re ready to head back to Salem .
Nicole : No ! No . I ca nt go back to Salem .
Roy : I do nt understand .
Nicole : I guess Eric did nt fill you in . Look , I m wanted for kidnapping , okay , but she is my daughter . It s a long story . But if the authorities get wind that I m in town , they will take her away from me and I will lose her again .
Roy : Well , where do you want me to go ?
Nicole : I do nt know . Rome , Copenhagen . I do nt know . Anywhere but Salem .
Roy : Okay , okay . I ll check into landing at some private , more secluded airports in Europe and maybe even the states ?
Nicole : Fine . Just ... stay far away from Salem .
Roy : I ll see what I can do .
Nicole : Do nt worry , honey . Mommy s not gon na let anyone take you away from me again .
Kayla : Brady , you ca nt give up hope . Valerie and I are working very hard to get you healthy again . But we need your help .
Brady : Do nt worry . IM ... not ready to concede defeat yet .
Marlena : Well , that s good . We want you around for a very long time .
Kayla : I m gon na go find Valerie . And I ll check back with you later , all right ? Hang in there .
Brady : Okay . [ Groans ]
Marlena : Mm , how are you feeling ?
Brady : I d feel a lot better if I knew that Nicole and ... [ Coughs ] Holly were safe .
Marlena : There s got to be a way to find them both very soon .
Brady : No , I just-- I just need Eric to find them .
Marlena : Eric ? Why Eric ?
Brady : Do nt be ups-- do nt be upset with me . I asked him to go find them ... and help them escape , Marlena . He went to Greece on a Kiriakis jet .
Marlena : Have you forgotten there s bad blood between them because of Nicole ?
Brady : Well , he wanted to-- he wanted to go . He was grateful , wanted to help . He wanted to do something .
Marlena : [ Sighs ] Because of Daniel .
Brady : Because of Daniel , yeah .
Marlena : I , uh-- I m gon na try to give him a call .
John : Hey , kid . Hey , doc .
Marlena : Oh . Oh , john ! Oh .
John : Hey , kid .
Brady : How you doing ?
Brady : Hey .
John : How you doing , kid ?
Brady : Hell of a lot better now that I m looking at you .
John : [ Sighs ]
Marlena : I ca nt believe you re here . Pamela made it sound as though--
John : The mission I was on could nt be interrupted ? Well , it turns out that someone gave her an earful and she got a sudden pang of conscience .
Marlena : Oh ! [ Chuckles ] I m just so glad it worked .
Brady : Mm . Well , what about your-- your assignment ?
John : Oh , I just called in a few favors , had it put on hold . Damn , I m so sorry it took me so long to get here , kid .
Brady : It s all right . You re here now . That s all that matters .
Joey : Okay , so thing is , I do nt want to insult you by assuming , because you re a girl , that I should pay . But I also do nt want to insult you by assuming that you do nt want me to pay if you do-- which is totally fine , since I asked you out .
Alyssa : Technically , our parents asked us out . So why do nt we split it ?
Joey : Okay . Deal .
Alyssa : I have to go to the ladies room . Be right back .
Joey : Okay .
Jade : Hey , Joey .
Joey : Jade , what are you doing here ?
Jade : It s a public place .
Joey : Yeah , well , I m actually here with someone , so if you do nt mind ...
Jade : Sorry . Wait , are -- are you on a date ?
Joey : Yes , okay ? I m on a date .
Jade : That was quick .
Joey : Not really . We ve been over for a while now . I ve moved on . I think you should do the same .
Tripp : Taking notes ?
Steve : Yeah , I have to keep a log of activity-- or lack of it-- about every 15 minutes .
Tripp : So that s part of your process ?
Steve : That s right . You know , it does get a little more complicated with criminal cases , though . Cause I spend most of my time trailing suspects and , uh-- and gathering evidence and putting it all together for them .
Tripp : And , uh , once you re done with that ?
Steve : Well , then we give it to the police , or we confront the suspect ourselves .
Tripp : Sounds exciting .
Steve : Yeah , it can be . Got to tell you , though , some days , the most excitement I get is raiding the minibar .
Tripp : [ Chuckles ]
Steve : Yeah , go for it . I can expense it .
Tripp : You want anything ?
Steve : Uh , see if there s any root beer in there .
Tripp : Seriously ?
Steve : Something wrong with root beer ?
Tripp : No , it s just , uh , I like it too .
Steve : Well , I think that deserves a toast . To one more thing we have in common .
Tripp : [ Chuckles ]
Steve : Mmm . So , Tripp , um , have you given any more thought to what kind of work you want to do ?
Tripp : Well , I ll tell you that my days of bussing tables are over . I ll tell you that much .
Steve : I do nt blame you . I was just hoping you re not planning to , um , live off the Vitali money .
Tripp : Look , I know you re not thrilled I took the inheritance , but it comes in small installments , so ... I still need to work .
Steve : Well , that s not a bad thing .
Tripp : No , no , not at all . I m used to it . Just wish I had some idea what I really wanted to do . [ Chuckles ]
Steve : You remember when Kayla said she thought you had a gift for something in the medical profession ? I know she was really impressed with the way you helped her save roman s life .
Tripp : I mean , I was just glad I could help . But , I mean , medical school ? That s a big commitment .
Steve : Yeah , it is . But maybe you could test it out first . You could , uh , follow Kayla around the hospital , you know , shadow her .
Tripp : Think she d be okay with that ?
Steve : Man , she said she d do anything she can to help .
Tripp : [ Chuckles ] Right . Yeah . That s really nice of her . And , you know , shadowing Kayla ... not a bad idea .
Eric : I m not worried how it s gon na end .
Xander : You do nt care that you re completely expendable ? I could kill you right now and feed you to the sharks .
Eric : Your call .
Xander : I ll figure out what to do with you later . Right now , I need to find Nicole . She s not getting away from me again .
Nicole : Yes , uh , I need to get a status on a patient , Brady black . Me ? Oh , um ... I m his sister , belle . Listen , I - I - I really need to talk to my brother . I just ca nt remember his room number . Can you patch me in ? Thank you so much .
Brady : [ Grunts ] Yeah . Uh , put -- put her through . Hey , tink , how you doing ?
Nicole : Brady ... it s me . It s -- it s -- it s Nicole .
Brady : Nic ! Nic , oh , my god . Are -- are you okay ? Is holly okay ?
Nicole : Yes , we re -- we re fine . We re on the Kiriakis jet , and , uh , we re about to take off .
Brady : Oh , god , Eric , he-- he found you , right ? Thank god he found you .
Nicole : Yes , he did , but , um--
Brady : Do nt be upset with me that I sent him , okay ? He was the only one that I could count on . I wanted him to-- to be the one . Nic , he did nt even hesitate . He said he-- [ Coughs ] He said he wanted to do anything to help you and holly .
Nicole : Yes , we would nt be on this jet if it were nt for Eric .
Brady : I was so worried about you . Nic , I love you . I love you so much , you and holly .
Nicole : We love you so much too .
Brady : Is , uh-- [ Coughs ] Is Eric there ? I want to talk to him .
Nicole : Brady ... Eric s -- Eric s not--
Nicole : Brady ? Brady , are you there ?
Roy : We re all clear . Ready to go .
Nicole : Brady .
Holly : [ Cooing ]
Nicole : Shh .
Joey : Yeah . Yeah , me too . Um , at first , I wished my mom had nt set this up , but ... turns out it was a good idea .
Alyssa : Definitely .
Jade : That witch will do anything to keep Joey away from me . I heard about your mother .
Joey : Arrested for murder ! Oh , god , it s horrible .
Jade : I m so sorry , Joey .
Joey : How am I gon na get through this ? How ?
Jade : Hey , I ll help you . I m here for you .
Alyssa : Why , thank you .
Joey : You re welcome .
Jade : I ve got to find a way to get rid of Kayla . It s the only way I m gon na get Joey back .
Kayla : We ve done everything we can , john .
John : Yeah , I do nt doubt that for a second . I just wish there were something that I could do .
Kayla : Well , unfortunately , the only thing that s gon na save Brady right now is if his body stops attacking his heart .
John : And if it does nt ?
Marlena : Well , we just have to hope that it will and that Brady will make it through this .
Nicole : Officer ? Officer , oh , my god . I - I - I need your help . A - a - a - a man named Xander or Alexandros Cook Kiriakis , he -- he kidnapped me and my baby . I mean , we got away , but he s holding someone else hostage . It s the man that rescued me and my daughter . Xander , he s got -- he s got him in a villa on a small island just not far from the mainland . Could you please help me ?
Detective Demopoulos : I hear of this man Kiriakis . Very dangerous , no ?
Nicole : Yeah , so I need you to help me free this hostage . Can you ?
Detective Demopoulos : You show me location ?
Nicole : Yes , but we have to hurry .
Detective Demopoulos : We ll use a patrol boat .
Nicole : Okay , fine , but we have to go now . Can we--
Detective Demopoulos : [ Speaking Greek ] This way .
Nicole : Okay .
Tripp : Thanks for the advice on shadowing Kayla at the hospital . Sounds like a good plan , if she does nt mind .
Steve : Oh , I told you , she ll do anything she can to help . I m sure she s happy to do it . You know what ? It s kind of nice that , uh , one of my kids is taking my advice . You know , I m so used to Stephanie and Joe rolling their eyes every time I make a suggestion .
Tripp : [ Chuckles ] They do nt know what they have .
Steve : What do you mean ?
Tripp : I m not judging , but , you know , most kids take their parents for granted .
Steve : Yeah .
Tripp : You know , my old man-- or my adoptive dad-- did nt care anything about me to give me any advice other than , steer clear of me , kid .
Steve : Well , that s too bad . I guess you ve heard enough stories about me to know that I was nt a perfect parent , though . I missed , um , most of Stephanie s childhood-- although that was nt by choice . But with Joe , I made the decision to stay gone ... because I thought it was the only way I could protect my family .
Tripp : You do that a lot-- go to the extremes to protect the people you love ?
Steve : Well , like you , I did nt grow up surrounded by a lot of love . So once I found it , yeah . I did anything I could to protect them .
Tripp : Looks like your client s husband is locking the door . And ... he s not alone .
Steve : You sure ?
Tripp : It s just him and a pretty redhead .
Steve : Oh !
Tripp : And now they re kissing . [ Chuckles ]
Steve : They are definitely more than friends . Here we go .
Tripp : Jeez . You d think they d close the blinds .
Steve : You re not supposed to be watching this .
Tripp : Is what they re doing even legal in this state ?
Steve : Hey ! Did nt you tell me you just turned 21 ? Give me that !
Tripp : [ Laughs ]
Nicole : Okay . This is the place . Can I go back to the boat now ?
Detective Demopoulos : Not yet . I need you to identify the suspect .
Nicole : Well , are you sure we should go in without any backup ? I mean , Xander s got guards surrounding this place .
Detective Demopoulos : I already called backup . They re probably taking down the guards as we speak .
Nicole : Well , that explains why we have nt seen any .
Detective Demopoulos : Follow me .
Nicole : [ Sighs ] [ Gasps ] That s him . That s the man who kidnapped me . That s the man who is holding Eric Brady hostage . Well , what are you waiting for ? Arrest him !
Detective Demopoulos : Are you doing what she says you re doing , Mr. Kiriakis ?
Xander : I m happy to admit that I am .
Nicole : Oh , of course , you re proud of that . It s over , Xander .
Xander : You re right about that .
Xander : Thank you , Detective Demopoulos , for bringing back what belongs to me .
Nicole : No . No !
Joey : So , uh , maybe we can do this again sometime ?
Alyssa : Sure . I d like that .
Joey : Great . Um , can I walk you to your car ?
Alyssa : Thanks , but I have to make a call .
Joey : Okay . Um , I ll call you .
Jade : You okay ?
Alyssa : Excuse me ?
Jade : I just saw you talking to Joey Johnson .
Alyssa : Who are you ?
Jade : We do nt know each other , but , um , I know Joey . He s my ex . And I just-- I saw you talking , and I felt obligated to warn you .
Alyssa : About what ?
Jade : Joey . He comes off all polite and nice , but ... he s a total player .
Alyssa : That s hard to believe .
Jade : He played me . He made me think that he loved me just to get me in bed and then ... knocked me up and dumped me .
Alyssa : Oh , my god !
Jade : Yeah , I - I lost the baby . Had a miscarriage . It was-- it was really bad . Um , but Joey was relieved , because that meant that he did nt even have to stay in touch with me after that .
Alyssa : I m so sorry .
Jade : Yeah . Um , look , just take it from me and skip the second date ? You ll be glad you did .
Alyssa : Definitely . Thanks for the heads - up .
Jade : Yeah . Us girls have to look out for each other . I only wish someone had warned me .
Tripp : Would you ever lie ? You know , to spare the woman s feelings ? Like , I know she hired you , but there s got to be a part of her that hopes it s not true .
Steve : Well , it is my job to gather evidence and , uh , deliver it . I do nt always enjoy it . I mean , it is tough to find out that the one you love has betrayed you .
Tripp : I bet it was tough on Kayla when she found out about you and my mom hooking up last year .
Steve : Where d you hear that ?
Tripp : Uh , it was in the police file .
Steve : I did nt realize that had made it into the case file .
Tripp : Yeah , I was surprised myself . I thought you and Kayla were together then .
Steve : Yeah , we were . We were . When I agreed to go looking for you , your mother was holding Kayla hostage . She would nt tell me where she had her unless I slept with her .
Tripp : Wait , are -- are you-- [ Scoffs ] Are you saying that my mom was blackmailing you into sleeping with her ?
Steve : Yeah .
Tripp : That s -- that s so sick and twisted .
Steve : I wo nt argue that . And when that did nt work--
Tripp : Yeah , yeah , I know the rest . I bet Kayla was really upset when she found out .
Steve : She was devastated .
Tripp : Yeah , I can imagine . Hold it right there .
Xander : Oh , I m starting to think that this game of cat and mouse is even more fun than poker . [ Speaking Greek ] You should be more careful who you approach in alleys .
Nicole : You bastard !
Xander : I have many friends on the mainland police force . Lucky me , you happened upon an officer on my payroll-- who was already looking for you .
Nicole : I hate you .
Xander : No , you do nt . You re just mad at yourself for not getting away when you had the chance . I must say , I am surprised to see you risk your freedom for a man who killed the love of your life . Something tells me you re going to regret that -- big - time .
Steve : Hey , baby .
Kayla : Hi !
Steve : Hope I did nt miss your break .
Kayla : Nope , it s just starting .
Steve : Oh , good .
Kayla : How d it go ? Any progress on the case ?
Steve : Well , as a matter of fact , yeah-- on the case and , uh , with Tripp .
Kayla : With Tripp ?
Steve : Uh - huh . He called me up . He said he wanted to hang out . So I invited him to come along with me on the stakeout .
Kayla : Well , that s great . How d it go ?
Steve : Really well . I m not so sure that he s into stakeouts , but , uh , guess what . He is thinking about a career in medicine again .
Kayla : Hmm .
Steve : So he ll probably be calling you to find out if you would nt mind him shadowing you here at the hospital .
Kayla : Mind ? I would love it .
Steve : Hey , Joe .
Joey : Hey .
Kayla : Hey , I was just thinking about you .
Kayla : How did your date go with Alyssa ?
Steve : Hey , I want to hear about that too , but I got to take this . I ll be right back .
Kayla : So ?
Joey : It was okay .
Kayla : That s it , okay ?
Joey : She was nice . I do nt know .
Kayla : Well , did you guys just not click or something ?
Joey : Actually , we did . It s just ...
Kayla : Tell me .
Joey : [ Sighs ] I do nt know . I just-- I just kept thinking . Even if I find the right girl , there s always gon na be this secret that I ca nt tell her-- about Ava , how she died .
Kayla : Baby .
Joey : Do nt get mad . But at least with jade , I could be completely honest and she still loved me .
Tripp : Hey .
Jade : Hey . How d it go with Steve ? Was it a total bonding experience or what ?
Tripp : Yeah , I would nt go that far . But it was nice to get to know him a little better , see how he does his job , you know . He s a total pro .
Jade : Of course , he is . He s like a superhero . And his wife is a super - witch .
Tripp : He actually gave me an idea on how to get close to Kayla , which could help when it comes to ... ruining her life .
Jade : Yeah , she deserves to pay .
Nicole : [ Grunts ]
Xander : You two play nice . Oh , and by the way , if you try and escape again , my men have orders to use excessive force . So do nt test them -- or me .
Nicole : [ Sighs ]
Eric : Nicole . Why the hell are nt you on that plane ?
Nicole : Well , for Brady s sake , I could nt leave you behind .
John : Sorry , kid . Sorry I could nt do something to prevent this . But I m here now . By god , I m not gon na leave until you re out of the woods . I love you , son . I love you , son .
